Ateenage girl helped save herfamily from a fire that burneddown aVedder Crossing home

late Monday night.The girl was putting her younger

brother to bed on the home’s sec-ond floor when she looked outsideand saw flames eating away at thehouse’s outside deck, Chilliwack FireDepartment Capt. Don Van Beesttold theTimes.

The teen quickly helped get bothher brother and another youngersibling out of the house and alertedher parents, who were also able toescape unharmed. Shortly thereaf-ter, the house’s fire alarm went off

as the flames began to spread to theinterior of the structure.

Van Beest said the teen deservespraise for her quick reaction to thepotentially deadly situation.

Firefighters were called to thescene at 11:40 p.m. but were unableto save the four-year-old 3,500-square-foot home, which was locat-ed in the 6400 block of BearstonePlace on the Tzeachten First Nation.

The family is staying with relativesnearby. They did have insurance onthe home.

A cause of the fire has not beendetermined but it is considered acci-dental.

Kitchen fire in mobile homeFirefighters are also urging the

public to take care while cookingafter a kitchen fire damaged the roofof an East Chilliwack mobile homeand sent its occupant to hospital.

Crews were called to the home,in the 46000 block of Upper PrairieRoad, around 6:30 p.m.

They arrived to find a fire in thehome’s attic space. The blaze wasquickly brought under control, withmost of the damage limited to theceiling and roof of the home.

One person was taken to hospitalfor observation for possible smokeinhalation. Firefighters say the fire

began in the house’s kitchen.

Smoking caused Garrison fireFirefighters say they believe care-

lessly discarded smoking mate-rials caused the Aug. 21 fire thatdestroyed several Garrison Crossingtownhomes.

The blaze, in the 45000 block ofTamihi Way, began in a two-storeytownhouse unit. It spread to adjoin-ing units before firefighters couldknock down the flames.

No one was injured, but a family offive had no fire insurance.Their needhas prompted an outpouring of sup-port from the community and sev-eral fundraisers, including a LadiesNight Out event Thursday evening at6 p.m. at Back At You thrift store onYale Road.

Changes coming next year to theway paper material is recycled inBritish Columbia could mean con-

sumers will pay higher prices for prod-ucts while still paying fees for collection.

The system being foisted onto munici-palities under a strict deadline by theprovincial government could also be a“step backward,” according to Chilliwackcity staff, as the new system will requiremore separation of recyclables than thecurrent comingled collection.

At Tuesday’s meeting of city council,Mayor Sharon Gaetz lauded the prov-ince’s “cradle-to-cradle” philosophy butcriticized the not-for-profit body createdto implement the plan.

“We don’t appreciate the fact that if wedon’t ago along with this then our tax-payers could end up paying twice for a

CORN MAZE RAISED AND READING

Tyler Olsen/TIMES

In its 15th year, the Chilliwack Corn Maze teamed with the RCMP to celebrate the force’s 140th birthday and the 50th anniversary of E Division’s Auxil-iary Constable program. The Mounties will be at the maze on Sept. 14, and proceeds will go to the Vancouver Sun’s Raise-a-Reader literacy campaign.

City hall is hoping to stop industrialland owners who try to skip out onmunicipal taxes by grazing livestock

on their properties.At this month’s Union of British Colum-

bia Municipalities (UBCM) conference, theCity of Chilliwack hopes to get support fora resolution to kill a tax loophole that saw alocal property receive a 98 per cent reduc-tion in taxes after its owner put llamas andalpacas on the industrial land.

In a story first reported by the Times inOctober 2012, the owner ofthe vacant land on the Prog-ress Way industrial park—Trackside Holdings ownedby Stan Rogers—paid morethan $150,000 in taxes in2011 when it was classifiedas industrial by BC Assess-ment.

Trackside then put animalson the property for a monthover the time when the provincial assess-ment authority came looking in 2012. Thesubsequent farm status assessment of theproperty led to a tax bill of roughly $3,000,or about two per cent of what it shouldhave been, according to city council.

“What it comes down to is that assess-ment should follow zoning,” Coun. Jason

Lum told the Times. “We think it’s a loop-hole that needs to be closed to the benefitof taxpayers.”

Lum said the current sys-tem used by BC Assessmentundermines the author-ity of municipal govern-ments to zone land and taxaccordingly.

Lum said the city submit-ted a resolution to UBCMregarding the issue but itgot “lost in the shuffle.” Hesaid, however, that the city

plans to amend another of its resolutionsat the UBCM convention, which runs Sept.16 to 20 in Vancouver, that also deals withassessments.

Any resolution at the UBCM wouldhold no intrinsic weight, but would be amessage to the provincial government tochange how BC Assessment operates.

Closing thecity’s llamaloophole

Livestock grazing for a month in 2012 onindustrial land reduced the property owner’stax bill from more than $150,000 to $3,000.

The carjacking of a pizza delivery vehicleSunday night ended with the alleged per-

petrator in custody.Mounties say a man used a weapon to steal

the delivery driver’s vehicle just after 10 p.m.Sunday in the 8500 block ofYoung Road, in thevicinity of City Hall.

Patrols in the area turned up the vehicle, andRCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwen-huizen said police “tracked” the car as it droveto Fairfield Island, then to the Rosedale areaand then back to Fairfield.

Witnesses reported that the car drove at ahigh rate of speed down Young Road, followedshortly after by a large number of police cruis-ers.

VanNieuwenhuizen said the suspect eventu-ally left his vehicle on Fairfield Island and ranthrough several backyards.

Police dogs were brought to the scene andeventually found the man lying on the roof ofa home.

The man was arrested. In addition to thepending robbery charge, VanNieuwenhuizensaid the suspect was prohibited from driving.

The name of the suspect has not yet beenreleased.

service and so we really doneed to continue this dis-cussion,” Gaetz said.

By May 2014, producers ofpackaged and printed paperin B.C. will be responsiblefor funding the stewardshipprogram to collect and recy-cle these materials.

Multi-Material BritishColumbia (MMBC) is thebody created by the Minis-try of the Environment todevelop and implement theplan. But MMBC has putforward an offer that city hallsays will not fully financiallycompensate the municipal-ity for recycling and theyhave been given a deadlineof Sept. 16 to uncondition-ally accept or reject the deal.

City council was told bystaff that the tight deadlinemeant they could not do thethorough financial and riskanalysis required.

The “paying twice” Gaetzis concerned about comesfrom the fact that funding forthe new plan will come fromproducers who will pass thecost on to consumers. Andbecause MMBC’s “one-sid-ed” contract will not covercosts to the city, taxpayerswill still be on the hook.

A Vancouver-based publicpolicy think tank articulatedsimilar concerns to Chill-iwack’s in a report issuedAug. 29.

“The introduction andgrowth of residential recy-

cling programs under localgovernments has been oneof the biggest environmentalsuccess stories in this prov-ince over the past 20 years,”said Centre for Civic Gov-ernance executive directorCharley Beresford. “Thereis a danger that the changesproposed could underminethis success and lead to

backsliding in recycling ser-vices. Further consultationbetween the province, localgovernments and indus-try could help resolve theseissues and ensure that B.C.residents continue to receiveenvironmentally effective,user-friendly residentialrecycling services.”

S o m e c o m m u n i t i e shave already accepted theMMBC offfer while oth-ers have expressed similar

displeasure to Chilliwack.Prince George city council,for example, unanimouslyrejected the offer in August.

At Tuesday’s meeting,council voted to accept “inprinciple” MMBC’s offer offinancial compensation withthe caveat that “the serviceagreement is renegotiated toensure a mutually beneficialpartnership.”

“We have got a letter goingout to the province indicat-ing that we are not pleasedwith the short deadline ofSept. 16,” Gaetz said.

The city may find itselfup against a wall, however,as on MMBC’s website thedeadline to respond to theoffer is made firm.

“We understand the chal-lenges of the sequence ofevents leading to May 19,2014 for all parties: collec-tors, post-collection serviceproviders, stewards andMMBC. However, givenstewards’ regulatory obli-gation to assume respon-sibility for [packaged andprinted paper] as of May 19,2014 and the need to issuean RFP for post-collec-tion services following theSept. 16 deadline, MMBC isreconfirming the Septem-ber 16 deadline for collectorresponses.”

Just when my faith in human-ity was on the very edge ofbeing restored by a major-

ity (albeit a slim one) of Brit-ish parliamentarians! The Britpoliticians got up on their hindlegs and turned down their ownprime minister’s request for guns,ammunition and body bags tobolster an American “punish-ment” war on Syria. They wantedmore and better informationabout the reasons for going towar and what the warriors hopedto achieve.

They wanted confirmation thatchemical attacks have actuallytaken place in Syria (though mostare in agreement that the heinousact was, indeed, perpetrated), butmore importantly, they wanted tobe sure that any responsive attackwould be aimed at the peoplewho actually did the deed—andthat the outcome of such anattack would be more than sim-ply killing a bunch more people.

Not surprisingly, they weren’tkeen on blindly accepting Ameri-can “intelligence” reports, withdebate centring on waiting forcorroborating evidence beinggathered by United Nationsobservers. Something about Iraq’sweapons of mass destructionseemed to be stuck in their craws(which, of course, might explainwhy they were never found inIraq).

Canada and Australia, mean-

while, have both declared them-selves allies of the United Statesin its resolve to set Syria straight. . . but have both declined tooffer any participation otherthan to stand behind their goodAmerican friends.

Far, far behind. I wonder if theAmericans will appreciate theBrits’ democratically establishedhonesty.

And Germany, too, has comeright out and clearly steppedback.

That leaves the Americans nowstanding shoulder-to-shoulderwith their close friends, theFrench.

How ironic is that! I guess free-dom fries will be French again.My guess is that there will belittle more than a few perfunc-tory bombs dropped until theU.N. crew finds a way to confirmor deny the Syrian government’sinvolvement in the sarin gas trav-esty.

A few people will be killed, andlittle will be accomplished.

And in other news that wasimportant enough to push aside

the Syrian abyss and the brinkof war . . . Duck Dynasty has justbeen declared the most-watchedprogram in cable television his-tory, with a viewing audience fourtimes that of Mad Men.

I’m not sure what distressesme more, that Duck Dynasty hastaken over the coveted top spotfrom Deadliest Catch, that Dead-liest Catch was purported to havebeen the previous recordholderpowering our mass (but definitelynot massive) popular intellect,or that anyone would bother tocompare either of them to MadMen as if there’s enough rel-evance to be found there to takeour minds off dead and dyingchildren in some far-off exoticland.

And anyway, why did no one inany of the reports I heard men-tion Here Comes Honey BooBoo—another show that has mythumb twitching excitedly (eventhough my thumb can’t standthe stuff) when I accidentally fallinto one of the many reality gapsthat have taken hold of most ofmy television’s cable bandwidth?Has the over-indulged little twerpfallen out of favour? Is her disre-spectful blather no longer consid-ered “cute”? Should my distressactually be anchored in the factthat any of these shows can bementioned alongside Syria?Somehow, I find myself pining forthe days of I Love Lucy.

More carswith kidsin schoolIf you don’t have any school-aged chil-

dren, you should be thinking carefullyabout this week—especially if you’re

planning to drive anywhere.Parents with kids who returned to

school this week, or went to class for thefirst time, have been thinking about thestart of the new school year for a while.

They’ve been amassing a fortune inschool clothes and supplies, and figuringout how their youngsters will get to schooland back home again . . . safely.

Lots of parents will opt to drive theirchildren to school, and that will meana huge increase in local traffic aroundschools every weekday morning, andagain in the afternoons.

Lots of kids will be walking to school,creating a mass of pedestrian traffic excit-ed about the return to school, reconnect-ing with friends and filled with all sortsof thoughts and ideas to distract themfrom the business of safely negotiating theroute to school.

Traffic congestion has a way of buildingfrustration and inciting rash behaviourin drivers who suddenly realize they aregoing to be late for work or appointments.In some cases, it can inspire bad decisions.

In an environment of traffic congestedby parents trying to relearn the routineof getting their youngsters to the school’sfront door, frustrated commuters find-ing their usual route to work clogged andmasses of kids bubbling with excitement,one bad decision can wreak havoc onmany lives.

If you’re driving anywhere this week,remember that, in any altercationbetween your vehicle and a child, thechild will lose—but so will you, regardlessof who’s at fault.

Think about leaving for work early. Anddrive at a speed that allows you time tothink.

Editor:Reflect back on your life

at 19, 20, 21 years of age andimagine not being sure youwould ever be able to seeyour loved ones ever again;your mom, your dad, yoursister or brother, even thatspecial someone with whomyou would like to spend moretime.With the age of major-ity set at 21, many Battle ofBritain pilots were not oldenough to vote but not tooyoung to lay down their livesin the struggle to save Britainfrom coming under the tyr-anny of unbridled aggression.

The life expectancy of apilot was about 87 flyinghours. That’s less than fourdays! All things considered,you had maybe two weeks;though some died withinhours of first flying a plane,and some lasted over a year.Flying during the war meantyou had only a slim chance ofsurvival during the terrifyinghaze of aerial warfare.

“Dogfighting exacts afearsome toll from the frailhuman body and its senses,aside from the immediatestress of combat,” accordingto the RAF website. “Flyingat 30,000 feet in an unpres-surized environment with nocockpit heating and little byway of special flying cloth-ing, the din pounds the ear-drums and the g-forces leadto blood draining from thebrain causing the nightmareof blackouts. The pilot has tosummon every ounce of hisphysical and mental strengthto maintain control againstthe huge elemental forcesacting against his body, mindand aircraft. The environ-ment inside the cockpit wasas hostile as the one outside.”

D-Day was incrediblytough. Now try to visual-ize the almost daily D-Daysendured by our pilots dur-ing aerial combat while ona normal tour of duty. Thisis what they, and their sup-port people, went through tomake sure we could have thefreedoms we enjoy today.

War is not a docudrama, it’snot a movie and it’s exceed-ingly deadly for all thoseinvolved. It leaves scars, bothphysical and mental, and it’simportant that we show ourair force that we appreciateall they’ve done for the restof us Canadians. Please joinus on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 1:45p.m. for the 73rd Anniversaryof the Battle of Britain tributetaking place at our cenotaphinVeteran’s Memorial Park indowntown Chilliwack.

Minter Gardenscan be savedEditor:

Bronwyn is her name; sheis a very young lady with abig dream, and Bronwyn hasa plan to make sure that herdream will reach reality. “Ihave it all in my head,” she letus know.

We met Bronwyn for thefirst time last Sunday atMinter Gardens in Chilli-wack/Rosedale.

She was helping in the GiftShop at Minter Gardens andtalking to some other visitorsabout the sad reality that 2013will be the final season thatwe can visit Minter Gardensand that Monday, Oct. 14 willbe the last day of operation.

We were just leaving the

gardens after enjoying, with alast look, the many beautifulthings in the little store whenI saw this enthusiastic younggirl and her listeners, and Iheard her saying: “If I canhelp it, Minter Gardens neverwill be closed. I will makesure that I later can have myown wedding celebration alsoin these beautiful gardens asso many other couples overall these years had beforeme. I can’t sleep anymoreand I think about the manypossibilities to keep MinterGardens open for all of us; butI can’t do it alone.We all needto work together and we haveto involve not only the peoplefrom our area but from thewhole of B.C. and Canadaand even from all over theworld.We have to involvethe different governments,municipalities, provincesand the federal government.Think about what we couldmake from the gardens. Abig hotel on part of the park-ing place would attract morepeople to our area. It wouldstimulate more business inour area.We could keep thegardens open all year longfor educational purposes forall schools from all over thecountry, making a part of itin to an organic garden. Thestudents could help to keepthe gardens clean and tidy; itwould encourage other entre-preneurs to start more busi-nesses in our area and manyof us would not have to look

somewhere else to find a job.Minter Gardens should besaved as a national park andnot be changed into anotherplace for a few individualpeople who would build justtheir houses.

I would like to work dayand night to . . .” I joined theconversation for a while,since I was happy to meetfinally somebody with a plan.

Bronwyn was committedand I knew, one could feel it,she was very serious abouther dream and her plan todo everything to save MinterGardens for all of us andmake it even more attractivefor visitors from all over theworld.

I was sorry that I had toleave since my visitors fromthe Netherlands were wait-ing for me on the parkingplace. They had planned tovisit some other places in thearea and it was their last daybefore leaving for Europeagain.

On Aug. 26, I went back toMinter Gardens, just to talkto Bronwyn about her plans,to encourage her and to offerour help. I learned that shewas a student and Sundaywas her last day at MinterGardens before she had to goback to school again.

Her former colleaguesmentioned that there weremany more people withmany more good ideas,among others: to build acable railway up to MountCheam; that would be anattraction for visitors fromall over the world; or to buildclose to the gardens a retreat

for high-powered businessexecutives from big com-panies who could invest asshareholders in the gardens,together with all of us and wewould leave the gardens openas it is now for the public.

Whatever, we all have tohelp Bronwyn to bring herdream into reality and saveMinter Gardens for all of us,but especially for the future ofour children.

What can you do? Let uswork together.

Herewith I would like toencourage Bronwyn by say-ing: Go for it. I know there aremany people who have theright connections, the finan-cial power, the time and theconviction, and they will giveyou all the help and assis-tance necessary to be suc-cessful. Just start, and otherswill follow you.You are a bornleader, a convincing advo-cate, a beautiful girl and youwill be a role model for manyyoung people and a pillar forour society.

Enough slobsout there?Editor:

I have been very concernedabout the recent expansionof restaurant outlets in ourcity. It seemed to me thatwe could not possibly haveenough patrons to leave theirhalf-eaten food on all thoseadditional tables. How foolishI was to worry when the good

people of Chilliwack were upto the challenge!

A quick check at McDon-alds this morning and thenTim Hortons this afternoonassured me that all is well.The usual crowds seem tohave risen to the task andhalf-consumed food andempty containers occupymost tables and often spillout into the parking lots.

Who do we have to thankfor this bounty of garbageleft on open display? I havebroken the patrons down intoseveral categories for easystudy.

1) Geezers (like me) whoare likely in the early stagesof dementia and cannotremember a time when youcarried out the remainder ofa meal to the receptacle at thedoor.

2) Teens who did not learnat home to clean-up afterthemselves.

3) Teen workers who can-not take a break from theirconversations to clean thetables and garbage cans .

4) Absent managementwho value no brain/no trainas a company motto.

5) Parents who are deter-mined to teach their children“someone else” will look aftertheir mess.

We are fortunate indeedthat there are enough of theseslobs to employ an army ofHell’s Angels as the restaurantindustry and our waistlinesexpand .

BY VERN TOMPKEVineyard Community Church

Heard a good story recently?Let me tell you a storyfrom one of my favourite

Biblical events. In the Old Testa-ment book of Samuel, the Jew-ish tribes are facing a larger andmore technologically advancedenemy in the Philistines. Whereasthe Philistines have perfectediron weapons and have chariotsat their disposal, the Israelitesare country bumpkins withlittle going for them. As the twoenemies faced each other pre-paring for battle, the King’s son,

Jonathan, slips out of the campunnoticed with only his youngarmour bearer for company. As heapproaches the Philistine lines hespots a group of enemy soldiershigh up on a plateau with only asteep cliff between them. WhatJonathan does next would rankat the top of anybody’s “foolish-ness” meter. He turns to his youngcompanion and says “let’s go overcloser so they can see us—per-haps God will act on our behalffor he can save us whether bymany or a few.”

Sure enough, as they get closerthey are spotted, and, as enemysoldiers often do, they began

to call out insults—question-ing the other’s lineage, I’m sure,besmirching each others’ moth-ers’ character—you know thetype.

Then Jonathan asks God for asign—if they say “come up hereand fight” then it will be a signthat our “perhaps God” is on. Sureenough, they call Jonathan tocome and fight and so he climbsup the cliff, does his ninja thing,and in the process, God inter-venes with a series of events thatleads to a rout of the enemy. (Withstories like this, you really shouldread the Bible sometime.)

So here’s my question: Was

Jonathan foolish? Sure, he didgive God a chance to say “not thistime” but, forgive me Jonathan, Ialways thought your test was kindof leading. It seems pretty likely tome that they would challenge youto come up and “rumble.” Yes, Irealize we are told not to test God,yet Jonathan is a great reminderthat this does not mean we shouldbe unwilling to step out and takerisks to live out our faith.

John Wimber used to say thatthe way he spelled the wordfaith was R-I-S-K. For example, acouple of weeks ago I spoke aboutbeing willing to risk praying forhealing for someone (and no, this

doesn’t mean I visit or subscribeto the practices of “faith healers”or keep my children from doctorsas one reader charged).

The key is this: are we willingto live like Jonathan, believingand stepping out with a bias that“perhaps God is going to act onour behalf.” Today, what is your“perhaps God?”

Live like God will be willingand ready to act on your behalfand then give him a chance to doexactly that!◗ Vern Tompke is the lead pastor ofthe Vineyard Community Churchand can be reached at [email protected].

Hundreds of hockey players, scoutsand fans will take over ProsperaCentre this weekend for the Brit-

ish Columbia Hockey League’s secondshowcase event.

The Bauer Showcase will see each teamplay two games in Chilliwack in front ofscouts from dozens of National HockeyLeague teams and countless Americanuniversities.

“This [event] really speaks to the pur-pose of the BCHL and that’s to get kidsheaded off to college in the right direc-tion,” Chiefs president Glen Rindal said.

The event is designed with scouts inmind, but it’s also a unique opportunityfor junior hockey fans who don’t usuallyget a chance to see a dozen-plus gamesover the course of a weekend.

Unlike last year, tickets to the show-case are included in Chiefs season ticketpackages. Weekend and day passes arealso available, as are tickets to the twoChiefs games.

This year’s event also features a fewmore fan attractions, including the “Bau-er Experience” on Saturday morning,when skaters of all ages can hit the Pros-pera rink between 9 and 11:15 a.m. andtry out new top-of-the-line equipment.

There is also a tailgate party—featuringmusic, a corn roast and Kai Manning’slemonade stand—at 5 p.m. Saturdaybefore the Chiefs open their season.

And for players, coaches and familymembers of the hundreds of players whoare in town, organizers have scheduledan education seminar about the college

opportunities available“A lot of people just don’t understand

how it all works . . . so this is an opportu-nity to learn and ask questions,” Ringdalsaid.

This is the second time the BCHLhas opened its season in Chilliwack,and Ringdal said last year’s experiencehas made organizing this year’s event asmoother process.

“I’m excited; it’s going to be fun,” hesaid.

BY IAIN MACINTYREVancouver Sun

Ageneration ago, timing deprived theVancouver Canucks of a potential blue-line pairing of Dave Babych and Garth

Butcher.Butcher, the ferocious stay-at-home

defenceman who spent nine NationalHockey League seasons inVancouverand is second only to DaveWilliams inCanuck penalty minutes, was sent tothe St. Louis Blues on March 5, 1991 inthe blockbuster trade for Cliff Ronning,Geoff Courtnall, Sergio Momesso and RobertDirk.

Three months later, the Canucks replen-ished their defence by acquiring Babych fromthe Minnesota North Stars for Tom Kurvers.

Babych played the next seven seasons forthe Canucks and was part of their Stanley Cupfinals team in 1994.

Combined, Butcher and Babych logged2,092 games, 929 points and 3,272 penaltyminutes in the NHL. Between them, they hadeverything: size, toughness, skill, character.They would have made a dynamite pairing inthe NHL.

“I don’t know how Dave would have feltabout it, but I wouldn’t have minded at all,”Butcher, 50, said Thursday. “I could have pro-tected that little guy.”

Babych, 52, who is 6-2 and played at about225 pounds, laughed.

“Oh, I think it would have been pretty good,”he said. “I played with someone similar (toGarth) for a few years in Gerald Diduck, so Ithink we’d have been good.”

Twenty-two years later, there is hope for aBabych-Butcher partnership but not, to theex-Canucks’ mock indignation, on defence.

Jaret Babych, 19, and Ben Butcher, 18, areforwards for the Chilliwack Chiefs and fin-ished the B.C. Hockey League pre-season aslinemates.

On Thursday, Jaret scored the winnerin a 3-2 exhibition win against the Sur-rey Eagles. Ben drew an assist.

“Yeah, it’s pretty funny,” Ben said ofthe Canuck Connection. “We’ve bothkind of lived this our whole lives (being

the son of a Canuck) so it’s not too big a dealto us. I kind of knew Jaret through friends offriends, but didn’t really meet him until thisseason. He’s a really good guy.”

Ben, a 6-2, 190-pound centre, joined theChiefs after playing last season in Langley,where he had 18 points in 54 games. Jaret, a5-10, 190-pound winger who had 17 points in49 games last year, is starting his third seasonin Chilliwack.

The Chiefs are coached, as they have beenfor 16 years, by Harvey Smyl, the youngerbrother of Canuck legend Stan Smyl.

“I can relate to (Ben and Jaret) a little bit withan older brother who was a NHLer,” Harvey,51, said Friday. “I know they’re very proud oftheir fathers and it’s incredible the support

From Sept.12


they get from their fathers. The boys reallyunderstand the game.

“These kids are all about wanting a chance toplay; it’s not about getting a push from the par-ents. It’s a support thing more than anything.”

The Canuck alumni kids are trying to earnU.S. college scholarships for next season,which is why the Bauer BCHL Showcase tour-nament this weekend is as important as anyleague’s season-opening games. The event,Friday to Sunday at Prospera Centre, featuresall 16 BCHL teams and last year drew 200 proscouts and college recruiters. The league haslong been a pipeline to U.S. college hockey,and last season 151 BCHL play-ers committed to programs.

“I definitely want to go toschool and get a degree whileplaying hockey, and then we’llsee after that,” Jaret said. “Asyou get older, it really dependson what you do and not whathappened (in hockey) in the past or who yourfamily is.”

Jaret was four years old when his dad retiredfrom the NHL in 1999. He has a few hazymemories of Dave playing for the PhiladelphiaFlyers. Ben was born the spring Garth retiredfrom the Toronto Maple Leafs, in 1995.

Jaret grew up in NorthVancouver and playedminor hockey at the North ShoreWinter Club.Dave works for the Canucks in their player-development department. The Butchers arefrom Bellingham,Wash., where Garth movedhis family after retiring. Garth coached Jaretin the tinyWhatcom County Amateur HockeyAssociation.

Incredibly, Jaret and Ben are each the fourthof five children in their families.

“And they all were forwards,” Babych said ofhis five boys. “I keep using this line—and noneof them like it—but none of them were smartenough to play defence.

“These kids are making names for them-

selves and it just so happens that their dadsplayed in the NHL. I’m proud of my son andI know Garth is the same. It’s great that theyget to play with each other and Harvey, Stan’sbrother, is the coach. So there’s all kinds of, Iguess, family ties.

“People think these kids should be super-stars (because of their names). Jaret didn’tmake a triple-A team until he was in midgethockey. Nothing has been handed to him; he

has worked his butt off for this.He has worked for everythinghimself and, for a parent, thatmakes this even more special.”

Ben Butcher, like Jaret, is hisown player.

“Ben is more of a skill guy; Ihate to admit it,” Garth joked.“He’s a forward with a good

skills set and is going to be a big guy when hefills out. But he’s not as dirty a player as I was.He grew up in a small minor hockey associa-tion. He was a little guy who grew a whole lot inthe last couple of years. I guess he’s a guy youwould describe as a late-bloomer, but he’s gota lot of potential with his hockey sense and hishands.”

Although they were never teammates, thedads established a friendship through theCanucks alumni association and from years ofplaying against one another.

There is a whole lot of NHL experience andhockey know-how peering over Harvey Smyl’sshoulder at the players’ bench.

“You get to know people, get to know par-ents, and I can honestly say with Garth andDave I have no worries,” Smyl said. “They’revery, very supportive.We can go to them andget any kind of information or instructions weneed. They’re not crazy hockey parents.”

The G.W. Graham Grizzliesimproved from last year,

but it wasn’t enough to bringhome a different result fromColton, Ore, last weekend.The Grizzlies lost 21-0 to theColton Vikings Saturday ina game that was closer thanthe score indicated.

Down 6-0 at the half, theGrizzlies switched to a fulljunior varsity roster to get allplayers some playing time.

“It was a pretty sloppy gamefrom start to finish” headcoach Laurie Smith said.

The Grizzlies started strong,marching the ball deep intothe Colton end under theguidance of first-year quar-terback Branden McCormickbefore attempting and miss-ing a 26-yard field goal. Bothteams were defensively strongin the first half with the ballrarely moving from the mid-dle of the field. Towards theend of the second quarter, theVikings scored what amount-ed to the game winning TDon a broken off-tackle runthat went for 36 yards.

Both the varsity and JVdefensive units for the Griz-zlies were very strong, eachonly yielding one TD. Theother Vikings points camefrom their defence. Josh Pret-ty was a standout at safety inthe first half with seven tack-les, while linebacker JordonBreuker led the way in thesecond half for the JV groupwith five tackles.

Both Grizzlies teams playtheir first home games in adoubleheader at ExhibitionStadium Sept. 27.


The Valley Huskers’ fourth-quarter trou-bles continued last weekend as theydropped an important contest Saturday

to theWestshore Rebels.The Huskers gave up three touchdowns in

the final 15 minutes to fall 40-33 to the Wests-hore Rebels in the two teams’ only meeting ofthe season.

The victory was the first of the season for theRebels. Halfway through the British ColumbiaFootball Conference season, the Huskers (2-2-1, including a default win) have a three-pointedge on the Rebels (1-4-0) for the fourth andfinal playoff spot.

Both teams offence lit up the other’sdefence.

Receiver Cody Vinnish was near-unstoppa-ble for Valley. Vinnish caught five passes from

quarterback Cody Parray en route to a 181-yard, one-touchdown day.

Parray completed 13 of 29 passes for 278yards, but was intercepted three times. He alsoran for 40 yards and two touchdowns on fourcarries.

Ty Derayos ran for 84 yards on 19 carries. Henow sits fourth in the BCFC in rushing.

The Rebels were even better, with quarter-back Hunter Lake throwing for 317 yards andfive touchdowns. He also ran for 56 yards on10 carries.

The Huskers look to get back on the winningfoot Saturday against the Kamloops Broncosat Townsend Park. A victory will put Valley inprime position to secure a playoff spot.

The game isValley’s last of the season againstKamloops. A win would force the Rebels tobeat one of the league’s top three teams inorder to wrest fourth-place from the Huskers.

The game time is 1 p.m.

I have a young family, a husband and three kidsand my life is very complex. I needed choice,customization and spending a lot of money onglasses was something I couldn’t justify. My GreatGlasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need anappointment for my eye test and I got three pairsof glasses for less than I paid for one pair at myregular optical store. I couldn’t believe how greatthe deal was and how accommodating the staffwere to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere butGreat Glasses in the future.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for goodcustomer value.

Sincerely,Amy Gill
