B e s l e r ~ Ben Besler could not immediately be reached Friday for comment, but in a statement he said he has been “witness to a dismembering of the BC Conservative party’s infrastructure, the squandering of party resources and a ‘my way of the highway’ approach by leadership.” And with Abbotsford-Mission MLA John van Dongen’s decision to leave the BC Conservatives to sit as an independent MLA, Besler said the BC Liberal Party is “the only viable free enterprise party in British Columbia.” “I believe that the BC Liberals, under the leadership of Christy Clark, are genuine in their offering of an olive branch to conservative-minded British Columbians, like me, who have previously found themselves distanced from the party.”

OCP review to map out how city will grow Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Chilliwack is gearing up to review its Official Community Plan to plan for future needs decades down the road. Council received a report on Oct. 2 about the year-long review process that’s about to start, with a detailed presentation by director of development Karen Stanton. “In general terms, the OCP sets out the community’s growth management plan,” Stanton told council. With a growing population of more than 83,000, Chilliwack is approaching the 85,000 trigger
point for a review and update of the OCP, last updated back in 1998. It dovetails with a similar review process underway for the Regional Growth Strategy. Mayor Sharon Gaetz commented in council chambers that it didn’t seem that long ago that people were sitting around working on the Future Plan. “I remember there were some who said they thought that multifamily housing would never be a go in Chilliwack, and that we just needed single-family homes,” she said. “That’s why it’s so important for us to update the OCP.” Council agreed.

“I’m excited to see that we’re going to be starting it up and getting the review underway,” said Coun. Sue Attrill, after council received the presentation. The OCP is basically a planning document which maps out in broad brush strokes how Chilliwack will grow as a community, as its population grows. The updated document will incorporate any changes that have taken place since the last OCP review, in provincial legislation, as well as community feedback about which major issues need to be addressed. The process will take a stab at projecting how many people will

be living in Chilliwack, and what their housing and economic needs will be, as well as what it will take in terms of parks and services to deliver a desirable quality of life. Consultation sessions will be held to gather feedback from key stakeholders, and the bylaw amendment will go to council after the consultation process is complete. They’re hoping to be wrapped up by the end of 2013. Key issues will include hillside development, business and employment, the environment and geotechnical concerns, as well as the urban growth boundary. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Group calls on mayors to ‘pipe up’ about pipeline Robert Freeman The Progress
Pipeline expansion opponents are asking how Fraser Valley politicians voted on a resolution to oppose projects that increase oil tanker traffic at a Union of BC Municipalities convention. The resolution, that UBCM “oppose projects that would lead to the expansion of oil tanker traffic through B.C.’s coastal waters,” would include the Kinder Morgan proposal to expand the
Trans Mountain pipeline that runs through the Fraser Valley on its way to Vancouver ports. The resolution was endorsed by most municipalities at the UBCM convention, but it’s not clear how Fraser Valley politicians voted. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz was not available for comment Friday, and deputy mayor Jason Lum said he was unable to remain at the convention when the vote was held. But when asked how he would have voted, Lum said that, given
the lack of information about the proposed expansion and its possible impact on Chilliwack, he would not have supported the resolution. He said it is premature to oppose the Kinder Morgan project at this time. “To be a good political representative, you have to weigh all (the) facts,” he said. “I haven’t had the opportunity yet to gather information from both sides.” Gaetz has used the same reasoning in the past to defend the
city’s decision not to join other municipalities in opposition to the Kinder Morgan proposal. But she said the city does have specific concerns, like protection of the Sardis aquifer, which Kinder Morgan president Ian Anderson has committed to answering. But the silence of officials in the Fraser Valley speaks volumes to opponents like Michael Hale, a member of the PIPE UP Network. He said a crowd at a PIPE UP event Sept. 27 in Maple Ridge “applauded loudly” when they
heard about the UBCM resolution. “However, I’m wondering why none of the mayors are expressing concern about the current shipments of bitumen,” he said. He said more bitumen will be carried in the expanded pipeline, but Kinder Morgan officials deny this will mean twice the risk. “This should be of great concern to City governments, who are the first responders in case of a tar sands spill,” he said.

Falling donations prompts $30K boost to community policing Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Programs like Block Watch and Crime Free Multi-Family Housing provide “good value” for the money for Chilliwack, according to officials with Chilliwack Community Policing Society. That was part of their pitch for additional funding from City of Chilliwack for 2013, and it worked. Council voted in favour of the application last Tuesday granting a total of $216,000 to Chilliwack CPS. That’s up from $186,000 last year, granted under the
Community Development Initiatives Funding Program, and the increase is an extra $30,000 to cover expenses. “The Society continues to experience a reduction in public donations due to the poor economy and a loss of parking revenues from the Chilliwack Bruins, and the change in Heritage Park Management,” according to CPS officials in their funding application letter to the city. “This loss of revenue has resulted in the Society using much of their past surplus to fund current operations. CPS provides communitybased crime prevention services,
like Citizens on Patrol, Block Watch, Grow Watch, Crime Free Multi-family Housing. It provides an Access Centre for the public out of the downtown office on Wellington Avenue. Coun. Chuck Stam said he was happy to support the increase. “We would pay substantially more for these services on an outsourcing basis,” he said. The range of community policing services are “great programs that are seeing some great results,” Stam added. “It’s all proactive policing.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno
Cigarette in patio planter sets townhouse ablaze A cigarette stubbed out in a planter later re-ignited and started a fire that damaged two townhomes located in the 44000-block McLaren Drive just after midnight Wednesday. There is minor smoke and heat damage to the three other units in the two-storey complex. There were numerous adults and teenagers in the affected townhomes, but they all managed to escape unharmed. Emergency social services is providing temporary accommodation and clothing. There were no firefighter injuries. But Assistant Fire Chief Ian Josephson said upon arrival at the complex, firefighters found “heavy fire and smoke coming from the back of the townhomes and heavy smoke from one of the garages.” “Firefighters managed to access the building to knock the fire down and prevent any further damage to adjacent townhomes,” he said. Fire investigators said a cigarette discarded in a planter located on an exterior patio ignited dry peat moss and other plant materials and quickly spread to the building’s vinyl siding. Fire officials are reminding the public not to use planters as ashtrays, but place “deep, non-combustible ashtrays” instead in areas where people smoke.

A victim with “potentially life-threatening injuries” is being air lifted from the scene of a three-vehicle crash on Chilliwack Central Road this morning. There was no further information available from the Chilliwack RCMP about the victim or about others involved in the crash. But according to emergency officials on the scene, a Mazda 3 was about to turn left when it was hit from behind by a Honda Civic. The vehicles then crashed into a westbound Dodge pickup truck. The driver of the Honda Civic was airlifted to the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster with “potentially life-threatening injuries.” Two people in the Mazda were also taken to hospital with injuries. More details were to be released after RCMP accident investigators make a detailed analysis of the crash scene. However, at press time on Friday police were unable to provide any additional information. The section of Chilliwack Central where the crash occurred, between Gibson Road and Upper Prairie Road, was closed to traffic during the investigation, police said.

branch of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association. Stone’s election to head the association’s new executive committee was announced Saturday at the BC CHBA’s annual general meeting in Vancouver. M.J. Whitemarsh, acting CEO of the association, said the new committee members “have their work cut out for them” with a provincial election looming on May 14, 2013. “It is crucial that we have a strong executive committee that is both knowledgeable and representative of the pan-British Columbia residential construction industry that the CHBA BC represents,” she said in a news release.
“B.C.’s home building and renovation community is a huge economic contributor to the province’s GDP, and as the new executive continues to shepherd CHBA BC forward into the future, they will work with government to enhance and improve the industry throughout the province,” she said. Immediate Past President Doug Wittal said he wished Stone “all the best” as he takes on the mantle of new president. Last year, Stone was president of the Fraser Valley branch of the BC CBHA when it received the ‘Local Association of the Year Award’ for its progress and achievements implementing
an agenda of services for members, and for support of the provincial association and its programs. “With his cheerful and positive outlook,” a news release at the time said, “Nathan was a great asset in his interactions with all levels of government and the association as the voice of residential construction.” The new CHBA BC executive directors announced with Stone are: Robert Capar, 1st vice-president; Todd Senft, 2nd vice-president; Nicholas Hill, 2nd 2nd vice-president; Michael Delich, Secretary Treasurer; Gordon Bliss, presidential appointee.

Her students take on the roles of poll staff and also run as mock candidates for the parties represented in the riding. Lade has also planned assemblies with political candidates. Her students have become inspired to get involved in politics, volunteer and even consider themselves as future election candidates. • As the student leadership teacher, Lade developed the Outreach department, which gets students involved in community focused activities and events both around the school and in the greater community. Through this initiative, Lade and her students sorted over 90% of the food collected for an annual food drive. • Lade petitioned and developed a Citizenship course that inspires students to become engaged citizens. Her students have adopted roads, helped dig a family out of a mud slide and remained “on call” for crises with Chilliwack Emergency Services.

She was one of just 94 teachers from across Canada to receive the award, which helped mark World Teachers’ Day on Oct. 5. The Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence honour outstanding elementary and secondar y school teachers who, through the innovative use of information and communications technologies in the classroom, help students develop the knowledge and skills to succeed in the digital economy. Said Prime Minister Harper: “Good teachers help lay the foundation with which we interpret and navigate the world. They make a valuable contribution to Canadians being among the brightest and most innovative citizens in the world. “It is a real privilege today to honour educators who have imparted their knowledge and inspiration to us and our children, helping all of us become the best we can be.” Known to many as “Mama Lade”, Julie Lade has a heart of gold that is dedicated to teaching students about active citizenship, says a statement

Meeting Wednesday for early French immersion
“
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
A group of Chilliwack parents are looking for help to start a local chapter of Canadian Parents For French, said spokesperson Jocelyn Thomas. A meeting is set for Wednesday, Oct. 10, at 6:30 p.m. at the Chilliwack library. “We’re tr ying to reach out and attract those parents who maybe haven’t thought of it and let them know some of the benefits of early immersion,” Thomas said. They need at least 10 members to start a local Canadian Parents For French, BC and Yukon branch. They’re also hoping to attract parents whose children are already registered in French immersion, as well as those lobbying for early immersion. Canadian Parents for French BC and Yukon Branch is a parent-led, not-for-profit organization that offers Frenchlanguage educational, social, cultural and sporting activities for youth. They provide support and resources for parents with chil-

dren studying French, whether in an immersion, intensive or basic French program, working with school boards, teachers, PACs and government to recommend and monitor policies and programs that affect access to and quality of French educational programs. Thomas said she and
her husband both went through French immersion courses. “I was in it because of my parents. Even though they didn’t speak any French whatsoever, they thought it would give me more opportunities in life, and it certainly has.” She says as a Westjet employee, being able
to speak French has helped a lot in both her career, and in her travels. Any parents who may be feeling hesitant because they’re worried English language arts might suffer if kids are put in early French immersion, they can rest assured the studies and her own research don’t bear that out in the long-term, she said. At the meeting Wednesday, they’ll be electing an executive, and looking for some dedicated new members to launch the chapter. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Decriminalization won’t solve the pot problem
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
Marijuana is expensive. Not only to those who indulge in the occasional, or regular, toke. But also in law enforcement and social costs. Growing, distributing and possessing pot are all illegal in Canada. Much of the growing and distribution are controlled by organized crime. Police, court and municipal authorities spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year enforcing Canada’s pot laws. For the most part, it’s a cat-and-mouse chase that just ends up moving the problem around rather than eradicating it outright. Even a former B.C. attorney general, Geoff Plant, says the prohibition of marijuana has been a “disastrous failure of public policy.” Last week, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized. They’d rather the weed be regulated and taxed instead, much like alcohol. That’s good news and bad news for the province’s 585,000 regular pot users; they’d no longer be considered criminals, but they’d pay the price with taxes that have an annoying way of always increasing. But decriminalizing marijuana likely won’t save enforcement costs. That’s because most of the money in marijuana made by the drug trade comes from producing it for export. As long as pot is still illegal the United States, there will be organized groups looking to cash in. And there will still be pressure on authorities to shut those groups down and stem the flow. The drug trade and its accompanying violence won’t go away with a resolution or the stroke of a pen through existing legislation. ~ Black Press

Weather stats offer reason for concern
As much as the weather has been spectacular the past two months, there could be a dark side to all this sun. Brown pastures, shrinking or disappearing streams, low river levels, and powdered earth are the hallmarks of a seasonal drought that has caught everyone off guard. People love this weather but what’s going on here...? The weather stats for September are amazing. According to our guy Roger Pannett, volunteer weather obser ver for Environment Canada, “Overnight on September 10th/11th, a fast moving cold front produced a meager 6.6 mm rainfall, 5.86 per cent of the average monthly rainfall. Consequently it was the driest September in more than 133 years! With a total August and September rainfall of only 7.8 mm compared to the average 177.5 mm it was the dri-

est since records started in 1879. The previous lowest rainfall for the same period was 31.5 mm in 1915.” Pannett said that, for the fourth consecutive September, mean temperatures were above normal, equalling the trend first recorded from September Margaret 1973 to 1976. On September 8th the EVANS temperature broke records at 31.8C, which was a huge 10.5oC above normal. The mean maximum for the month was 24.73C compared to the 30-year average of 21.0C. In fact, the 2012 summer (July to September) was the 12th consecutive summer with above normal mean temperatures, a trend
never previously observed since Chilliwack temperature records started in 1895. If this warm trend continues in the coming years, we may see profound changes in natural food sources such as fish, birds, and ungulates. Only last week, UBC fisheries scientists reported in the journal Nature Climate Change that increasing ocean temperatures and decreasing oxygen levels could lead to fish shrinking in size by as much as 14 to 24 per cent in the next 40 years. That’s huge! There is a rule of nature known as the Bergmann’s rule that mammals in a warmer climate rid themselves of body heat more efficiently with a smaller body size while animals in cooler climates have a larger size to retain heat and keep warm. The trend has been observed
in the evolutionary record as far back as 56 million years ago when the first horses evolved. They were about the size of a small dog. But their appearance coincided with a global warming phase when temperatures increased by about 10C over a period of about 130,000 years. The horses shrunk to about the size of a house cat. Then as the climate cooled during the next 45,000 years, they grew larger and continued their evolution over millions of years to become today’s familiar horse. On the plus side, they had time to adapt as global temperatures warmed and then decreased. But what about now? Rapid global warming could trigger a tendency toward smallness in many mammals, fish and birds, some of them food resources. Ornithologists are already reporting a tendency toward

smallness in some bird species. The problem is, an increase in global temperature could happen much faster than past evolutionary curves. So can animal species adapt or are some going to face an extinction event? The disappearance of species means changes in the biodiversity of habitats that can put stress on all those in the network of things. Meanwhile, animals struggle to follow their instincts despite the stresses. The water’s warm, the streams are low and spawning salmon have held back in the ocean for as long as they could. “Spawning’s like going to the bathroom,” said Chris McCunn with Fred’s Custom Tackle. “You hold off as long as you can. But when you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go. Now the fishing’s great!” If only we were sure that would last...

Chilliwack cyclists urged to learn the rules of the road This is an open letter to all bicycle riders, especially adults: I am writing out of absolute frustration at the people who ride bicycles and do not obey the laws. Yes, I know you are in a hurry, saving money, thinking green, and getting exercise by riding your bikes but by breaking the rules of the road, you are not only risking your life and health, but you are not even considering the devastation of the motor vehicle operator who must deal with maiming or killing someone as careless as you are being. Not only that, what a fine example you set for the children just starting out riding bikes. As a former cyclist, I was taught the rules of the road apply to not only vehicle drivers of insured vehicles but to those using bicycles, mopeds, scooters, etc. I am extremely concerned with the lack of regard for these rules that many cyclists choose to simply ignore. In the past few years, I have seen a family riding with the children wearing helmets and the supervising adult not wearing a helmet. That example really speaks out to me. Did you consider the possibility that your
children might have to witness your death because you were not wearing a helmet? To a male rider crossing at Knight and Vedder on Wednesday morning, October 2, this part is addressed to you. Why do you insist at not stopping at red lights? Simply slowing down and coasting, then inching across a red light which may or may not be about to turn green is simply put illegal and stupid on the cyclists part. You were almost half way across Vedder before the lights turned green. Even a car doing this is equally stupid. I can also remember many cyclists and many vehicles as well coasting through stop signs. Shame on all of you for doing that! Why at intersections with or without crosswalks do you insist, when the motor vehicle traffic is busy, on riding with the traffic when negotiating a left turn? I was taught, that a cyclist is to walk their bikes across busy intersections using the pedestrian cross walks when negotiating a left hand turn. Yes, this takes more time, but it is a great deal safer. Now to those who enjoy rid-
Leaders ask the tough questions The forming of a committee, sought to determine when human life begins (Motion 312), has created much controversy in the political arena. Without question, such a discussion would ultimately have to face the issue of abortion. Our Prime Minister’s and others’ attempt to avoid this subject, however, has also raised the question of the backbone of some of our country’s leaders. The fact is, a leader who is trying to follow seemingly popular public opinion, is not a leader at all. True leadership must come with a clear sense of direction, based on simply being informed while also allowing room for personal convictions. I certainly commend local MP Mark Strahl for not shying away from a discussion.
When it comes to the question of when human life begins, information can easily be obtained by visiting a hospital where premature born babies at a sometimes extremely early developmental stage are placed in incubators. There is also the story and picture of the 21-week old unborn baby, Samuel Armas. While still in his mother’s womb, Samuel is undergoing surgery, his tiny hand reaching through the surgeon’s incision. We all make choices, some of which hold painful consequences. It seems that, today, no one wants to pay the price for the choices they made. How about making the right choice before engaging in activities that might have hurtful effects? Mario C. Alleckna
ing in groups of two or more. Thank you to those who single ride when there is traffic on the road, but shame on those cyclists who insist on riding two abreast and forcing the driver to either slow down or negotiate a pass on the road. I refuse to pass those riding abreast going up the mountain side where I live. The road is just too dangerous. I have also witnessed cyclists riding against the traffic on the wrong side of the road and people out riding at dusk and a night without lights or reflective clothing. I have even had a cyclist cut in front of me after dark. You think that is safe and smart! It scared me to death! Last but least take those ear plugs out as you cannot possibly hear the vehicle approaching you from behind to avoid unexpected surprises. To all bad cyclists, my advice is to learn the rules of the road before you ride a bike. The traffic is way too busy not to do this simple thing. To all good cyclists, of which I have seen many, Thank You for your concern of your own safety and the vehicle operator’s sanity.

Pedestrian safety
I have been reading quite a few letters in recent week regarding how dangerous it is using crosswalks. I walk around town a lot and find it scary at times. We had a family discussion yesterday on the subject. My son in law, who grew up in Toronto, said that people point out their arm when they intend to cross the road. When you fully extend your arm it makes your side profile larger. Also, I make sure that the traffic comes to a full a stop before I begin to cross. Then make eye contact with the driver, and acknowledge them with a smile or a ‘thank you’ wave. Joanne Veltkamp

Paramount seats to be given away Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Requests are now being accepted at the City of Chilliwack for anyone interested in free theatre seats from the old Paramount Theatre on Yale Road. “Seats will be given away in sets of four,” according to city spokesperson Starlee Renton. The reason behind the giveaway offer? “The City has received a few requests for the seats and we wanted to ensure anyone who is interested has an equal opportunity to obtain them,” said Renton. The Paramount sign however has been put into storage as per council instructions, until an opportunity to re-use or re-purpose it is found, she added. The demolition timeline is contingent on the response to the RFP that was issued. Request for Proposals (RFP) for the demolition of the old Paramount building was issued by the Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO) on Monday, Sept. 24 with a closing date of Wednesday, Oct. 17. The successful proponent will be announced on Oct. 23.

Pipeline concerns Pipe from page 3 U.S. transportation officials have recommended first responders need special training to deal with a bitumen spill, like the 2010 spill in the Kalamazoo River that cost $800 million to clean up, hospitalized 300, shut down the river for two years,
and affected business, tourism and property values. Hale said that kind of risk is already present as bitumen is being pumped now through the existing pipeline. “The risk is already there and not very many people are cluing in to that fact,” he said.

The B.C. Court of Appeal has rejected a second attempt by the B.C. Liberal government to restrict third-party election advertising before the next provincial election. In a ruling released Thursday, the three-judge panel unanimously concluded that extending restrictions for 40 days before the formal 28-day election campaign is still an undue infringement on freedom of expression. An earlier restriction, extending 60 days before the 2009 election campaign, was struck down after a group of public sector unions challenged it in court. Attorney General Shirley Bond said Thursday the government will not appeal the latest ruling or attempt new restrictions in advance of the May 14,
Besler said he began to see the BC Liberal party “in a new light” after he was introduced to BC Liberal MLAs by
WALL MOUNTS CABLES & ACCESSORIES TV’S/DVD PLAYERS
to prevent election debates from being “hijacked by third parties.” The amendments limited political parties to spending $2.2 million in the 60 days before the official 28-day election campaign, and advocacy groups such as unions and business groups can spend only $150,000 during that time. Oppal, his successors Mike de Jong and Bond have all argued that more restrictions are needed since B.C. went to scheduled elections every four years, which allow interest groups to time their advertising to avoid the caps imposed during a formal 28-day campaign. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation, the B.C. Nurses’ Union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators originally challenged the spending restrictions in court.

2013 vote. Bond said the latest legislation met some of the court’s tests of fairness, but the government was not able to show that thirdparty advertising had unduly influenced voters in B.C. She said the U.S. election system shows what can happen when unlimited spending by wealthy interest groups dominates elections. “I think the court has provided us with a very thorough analysis and clear reasons, and have concluded that any restrictions to the advertising in the pre-election period is unconstitutional,” Bond said. “We sent this case to the B.C. Court of Appeal for advice, and we are going to accept that advice.” Former attorney general Wally Oppal made the original amendments to the B.C. Elections Act in 2008, saying they were needed

BC Conservatives were “quite disappointed” with the party’s third-place showing in the byelection and “at that point many started to wonder if the BC Conservatives were just a flash in the pan.” Les said he is pleased that it appears a freeenterprise coalition is “re-coalescing” in B.C., no matter what the party label, to stop a “socialist” NDP government from being elected next year. “Every vote they (BC Conservatives) get is a danger for us,” Les said. “We still have a lot of hard work to do.

October to-do list for the garden other ‘non bud’ forming conifers can be tidied up and pruned to make them less susceptible to heavy snow damage. Pruning of spruce trees, firs and pines should be left until the end May. Nonflowering broad leaved plants, like laurels, photinias and boxwood, can also be tidied at this time of year. At the end of the month, our last two hardy annual plants must be lifted to ensure their protection for winter. All tuberous dahlias and canna roots need to be cut back, carefully lifted with forks, cleaned, dried and stored cool (40°F 4.5°C) over the winter. All tropical indoor plants summering outdoors must be inside now. They need to be thoroughly checked for insects and stored cool (50°F) with lots of light. It is best if fuchias, lantanas and Angel Trumpets are stripped of their leaves. Keep them just moist. As late summer and fall herbaceous perennials finish and look messy, prune them to the ground and apply

October is an important month for many things in our gardens. It’s the last chance to plant garlic for harvest next July. Raised beds, sandy soil and a sunny location are key. Russian and Elephant garlic are usually the most successBrian ful in Minter our area. Plant at a depth 3 to 4 times the width of the clove. For colour in late December and January, plant yellow winter aconites and snowdrops as soon as possible. They are best planted in and around shrubs or evergreen perennials, like Japanese azaleas, dwarf conifers, euphorbias, colourful heucheras and new sedums, like golden ‘Angelina’. Tone up your lawn, keep it green and help it bounce back quickly in spring by applying a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer like 32-0-10. West Coast turf trials endorse this application. Now is also the time to apply Dolopril or organic eggshell lime to our lawns to prevent the soil from becoming too acidic over the winter months. Bare patches in our vegetable gardens could be planted with either fall rye or Rejuvenation Mix that actually fixes nitrogen in the soil as it grows. These are great organic ways to improve the quality of your soil for next year. It’s time to tidy up your roses for winter by simply pruning lightly (about 2 to 3 feet) and by cleaning up any dead wood. Climbers should be retrained on arbours and trellises and cut back to about 4 to 6 feet. Leave only 4 to 5 canes and cut out the rest. Apply about 12 to 15 inches of protective mulch or even soil over the bud unions. Tree roses need to be wrapped with wire from top to bottom and sawdust or bark placed on the inside to protect both the top and bottom graft. Most hedging cedars, junipers and

New voice for UFV students
READ! RETURN ! BUY!
Whole student experience important to UFV’s new VP Students Jody Gordon
University students aren’t just people who sit in a classroom a few hours a week, write assignments, and study for exams. They are human beings with complex lives outside the classroom, juggling relationships, family, part-time work, financial issues, and the challenges that come with trying to balance all of that. And they like to have a little fun while they’re at it. That’s the way that Jody Gordon, the newly hired Vice President of Students at the University of the Fraser Valley, thinks about the student population that she is mandated to support. Gordon’s portfolio encompasses the Student Services division (including counselling and educational advising, disability resources, student life, residence ser vices, financial aid), as well as athletics, the Career Centre, and the Writing Centre. Gordon came to UFV from Kwantlen Polytechnic University, where she was Associate V ice President, Students, and an adjunct instructor in the criminology department. She holds BA and MA degrees in criminology from Simon Fraser University and a certificate in executive leadership and management from WACUBO at Stanford University. Her decision to come to UFV was inspired in part by the chance to advocate for students at the highest executive level. “President Mark Evered deliberately placed the role at the vice president level. It was important to him that student voices be represented at the executive level and that appealed to me.” She sees her role as being one of facilitating student life, student engagement, and student development. “I think of my role as providing a bridge between the area of student services and the academic world,” she says. “There are so many types of support available, but students

IT’S THE GREAT PUMPKIN CHARLIE BROWN – each year this well known Charles Schultz cartoon appears in our comic strips. It is synonymous with October along with trick or treaters, leaves changing colors and floating down off the trees, and cooling evenings. Here in Chilliwack there is another event that signifies that October is here. That is the Mount Cheam Lions Train and Hobby Show. This year is no exception. On Saturday October 13th and Sunday October 14th our annual exhibition will be taking place at Heritage Park. It is an event for the whole family. If you have never been to our show come down this year and see what you have been missing. Once you have been to it you’ll see why many people return every year. Each year we have something new for you to experience from displays, draws, concessions and more. So come down and bring your whole family with you. You may also become a regular. AND... in addition to having an enjoyable day at Heritage Park you become a partner in raising funds to help the people of Chilliwack and area. September was a busy month for the Mount Cheam Lions. Some of the activities we were involved in were – serving hotcakes and sausages for the annual Terry Fox run, Casino Day in conjunction with the #280 Legion, concession for Pause for a Cause campaign, our annual Mills Meeker Golf tournament and we resumed our twice weekly seniors programme. Heading that list of events, we celebrated the 35th Anniversary of the Mount Cheam Lions Club receiving our charter. We had a full house at our hall helping us celebrate 35 years of serving the citizens of Chilliwack. We look forward to many more. If you have ever thought about joining a service organization think about joining the largest service organization in the world.

Grief training will see youth helping youth Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
A new pilot program in Chilliwack will see local youth help their peers deal with grief and loss. Chilliwack Hospice Society is teaming up with the Chilliwack School District to offer the Teen Grief Peer Support training over 20 hours, which kicks off on Oct. 13. The project started germinating when it became obvious that some students out to become health-care professionals were finding it hard to find in the type of work or volunteer experience necessary to meet university entrance requirements. Chris Reitsma, school district work experience coordinator, spotted the opportunity within the challenge. “We’re always seeking meaningful work experience for our stu-
dents and we’ve had quite a bit of demand,” he said. The Hospice Society was coincidentally looking to expand its youth mandate at the same time. “The timing was perfect,” said the school district official. He pitched the idea to CHS, after having a positive personal experience with the volunteer-fuelled hospice group. “We had these high school students brimming with enthusiasm and energy and we had nowhere to put them,” said Reitsma. “Of course they were looking for authentic placements.” Nothing like that was available that put the focus on youth training to this degree. They kicked around a few ideas and came up with this brand-new training partnership which will alternate the training site from
CHS headquarters on Hodgins, to Chilliwack Secondary School on Yale Road east. “That’s fantastic that we’re bringing the training where they’re at,” he said. Hospice education coordinator Colleen Rush said they saw ample opportunities in the pilot project as well. “From our perspective, we were aware of the number of teens and children in the community who were coping with or anticipating the death of someone facing an end-oflife illness, or who had experienced the loss of a friend, a family member or classmate through suicide, or sudden death like heart attack or stroke, a motor vehicle accident or in some cases, murder. “So for us, this is an opportunity to partner and provide bereavement support to the children and teens
who most need this kind of support.” There’s an air of excitement about the partnership. “We are very excited about this project and appreciate the opportunity to partner with the school district to provide bereavement support and education to young people in our community,” she added. The young people will earn work experience hours to attend this specialized training. The schedule has two Saturday sessions, and several after school. It starts with an introduction to issues around grief and loss for the teens. They’ll tackle topics like communicating and healthy boundaries, social media and grief, and they’ll also look at grieving through the lens of diversity. They don’t know where it will ultimately lead, said the work expe-
rience official, but the selections have been made and the training starts this week. “When they’re done, they’ll be bona fide volunteers with some very valuable training. “We’re excited to see how it all turns out.” The goal is for the trainees to go on to put their training to good use the remainder of the school year. They’ll do that by providing oneto-one peer support for Chilliwack youth, speaking to classes, supporting students who are feeling a loss, and helping co-facilitate the children’s grief support groups at CHS. “We’re not exactly sure yet how they’ll be employed in the community but we have lots of ideas,” added Reitsma. “We’ll take it as it comes.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Real estate markets can swiftly shift – Seize the day!
meet
ian
If you are thinking of selling your home, now is the time to list your home with a real estate professional. If you are thinking of buying your first home or upgrading, now is also the time to consider your options. The real estate marketplace can be very fickle. Many factors come into play, but they all boil down to supply and demand. When buyer-demand is high and the supply of real estate for sale is low, prices tend to escalate until they reach a certain point where buyers decrease and listing inventories increase. When this market-reversal happens, sellers who price their homes at the higher level of previous sales prices must re-think their pricing strategies. If they don’t, their homes may not sell. Whether you are buying or selling a home, it is important to remember that the shift from a seller’s to a buyer’s market can occur very quickly. Many variables can affect the real estate market; it can go from a seller’s to a buyer’s market, and back again in a short time. In a normal market, price and interest rate are the two most important factors. When interest rates are low, buyers’ purchasing power increases. As the interest rates go up, monthly mortgage payments are increased, and this may temporarily eliminate some buyers from the marketplace. In the shift toward a buyer’s market, homes will sell if they are priced well. If you are a first-time buyer trying to save a bigger down

I have spent the past 16 years in the Sales, Marketing, and Advertising field. It is this background that gives me a unique perspective of how a home should be marketed. Are you tired of leaving messages that aren’t being returned? Do you find it annoying when the homes advertised in the newspapers are not as they seem? Wouldn’t it be nice to work with someone who understands your point of view? Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than having satisfied clients whom I have helped to reach their real estate goals. I provide you with the highest degree of professional service excellence and customer satisfaction that is “TOUGH to BEAT.” I am Mike DellaFortuna, and it would be my pleasure to help you.

payment for your first mortgage loan, you should reconsider. With the present interest rates you may already qualify. A lower interest rate is in many ways equivalent to a higher down payment. Either one will reduce your monthly payment and the monthly payment in relationship to your income and other financial factors is the main criteria for loan qualification. Since interest rates are still low, now might be the best time for you to buy a home. As home prices and/or interest rates rise, you may find the home you were saving up for has moved out of your price league. If you are considering selling your home, do not hesitate thinking that prices will rise. If the market begins to reverse, then you may have to make an adjustment in your pricing strategy. If you are sitting on the fence, waiting for the price of your present home to rise before listing for sale, remember, you will also have to pay more for the home you purchase. There is little to no gain in waiting to sell if you are going to purchase another home in the same market area. Perhaps you have no plans to buy or sell a home right now, but you are curious about your possibilities. Realtors can answer any questions you may have about real estate and provide you with expert information to help you make a decision.

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

This grey, domestic medium-hair kitten was only two or three days old when it was found on a highway in Mission a few weeks ago. The cat was brought to Chilliwack cattery, Bdellium Sphynx, owned by Fischer’s vet. It is guessed that the kitten was dropped by its mother when crossing the highway. When found, the kitten was dehy-

The hairless Sphynx kittens were born right around the same day that the young tabby cat was found, so Fischer thought adding the furry kitten to a litter of four newborn kittens was a great idea. Three weeks later, Fischer snapped this photo featuring her adult female Sphynx, named Shownofur Persephone, her four kittens, and the new fluffy addition appropriately named Harriet.

They were greeted by steep paths, loose soil, and low hanging clouds surrounding the mountain. Despite these drawbacks, the record number of 86 Grade 9 English students from G.W. Graham trekked on guided by Kevin Ault, Humanities 9 teacher, and Todd Maclean, the school principal, and assisted by a several volunteer parents. When asked how much work went into the hike, Ault replied dramatically, “I’ve been slaving for days and weeks at the computer, I’ve been making arrangements begging people to come! I’ve begged students to pay money, and finally they did! We should have 86 people coming, but

2012 Business Conference .
Coastal marine talk promises whale of a time Seen any whales lately? Biologist Caitlin Birdsall and the B.C. Cetacean Sightings Network want to hear about it. She’s the featured speaker on Tuesday, Oct. 18 at Vedder middle school at 7:30 p.m., put on by the Chilliwack Field Naturalists. Birdsall is an educator and biologist focusing on marine conservation in B.C. and she’s got a multimedia presentation ready to go for the upcoming talk. As Coordinator of the Vancouver Aquarium’s B.C. Cetacean Sightings Network, Birdsall collects sightings from volunteer observers of whales, dolphins, porpoises and sea turtles on the coast. The goal is gaining a better understanding of their numbers and distribution across B.C. She has worked in Philippines, Australia, Central America and throughout B.C., but she first fell in love with studying the ocean during her childhood summers in the Gulf Island area. She’ll be sharing some key marine facts. “Discover which species are most commonly spotted around southern B.C., their unique natural histories, the threats they face, and how coastal citizens can participate in stewardship and research through the Sightings Network,” she wrote, describing her upcoming talk. “The evening will have you informed, inspired, and ready to become a citizen scientist.”

Products ❱❱ Qualified trades ❱❱ Expert advice ❱❱
Finding an oasis of calm in the midst of a busy life By Maggie Calloway Long gone are the days when bathrooms were pretty basic, even utilitarian, rooms. Now we have in-home spa bathrooms with steam showers, huge walk-in rain head showers, heated towel bars and wallto-wall granite or marble. Even if you are not in the market for all the bells and whistles, it is possible to have an inviting bathroom that not only services your family but is attractive to a possible future buyer. Mike Merakian of Blue Ocean Construction not only builds custom bathrooms but also installs scores of bathrooms for Home Depot so his experience is varied and substantial. “Obviously it all depends on the customer’s taste and budget; that is the starting point,” he says. He’s noticed that there are several recent trends. “For Home Depot we install soaker tubs, 90 per cent of the bathrooms have tile on the walls and we are doing more and more all-in-one vanities. These vanities have the sink and the counter all-in-one; it’s a step
that saves time and money and they are very attractive, like a piece of furniture,” he says. “Being able to fit this unit into the bathroom and just connect the plumbing is a huge time saver. Rather than ordering various parts, such as sink and counter which could take weeks to arrive, this new all-in-one system is very efficient.” Gone are the days of placing tile directly onto the walls in the shower stall and bath. Now membranes called a Schluter system, specially made for water resistance, are carefully installed seamlessly, before tiling, to prevent water leakage and mold. “There are other methods of water proofing, of course, in fact we now have five or six different applications we can use on shower walls where ten years ago we just had two. Whatever method is used, it is the most important part of renovating anywhere there is water and humidity,” says Merakian. If you are building a custom bathroom the sky is the limit, Merakian says. “Custom showers and steam showers with frameless glass are big.
Heated floors are huge; we used to use coil pads but by running wire and covering with a skim coat of concrete we have more flexibility. Niches in the shower stalls for shampoo and such, sometimes with custom shapes, are once again popular.” Even the sealing of the grout has come a long way. “There are very narrow wheels you dip into the sealing solution and run over the dry grout,” says Merakian. “Now we have a lot of coloured sealers so if your grout is stained you can go over it with coloured sealer and it looks brand-new.” Have fun when planning your new bathroom but keep the main features neutral. You can’t go wrong with pure white, and if you want to introduce some colour, walls and towels are where you should concentrate. This is a room where you can re-charge after a long day so indulge yourself. All-in-one vanities, above, are a rising trend in spa-like bathrooms. Mike Merakian of Blue Ocean Construction says that soaker tubs, bottom, are one of the top sellers right now. Submitted photos

For the bathroom, the combination of a whirlpool bath and a separate shower ranks high on the list of criteria for potential buyers as well as a second complete bathroom or, at the very least, a powder room. The work involved in renovating a kitchen or bathroom is usually the most costly, so a complete overhaul in the latest style is sure to help potential buyers fall in love with your home at first sight. Last but not least, don’t underestimate the importance of a good paint job in order to give your home a stylish look. Choose light, neutral shades that are bound to please more people. When in doubt, you can always ask advice from a local paint professional or interior decorator.

Make the most of fall cleaning Though spring cleaning might have the name recognition, many homeowners spend just as much time cleaning their homes in the fall as they do in the spring. Spring might be the season for clearing out the clutter, but fall is when homeowners prepare their homes for the long winter months ahead. Fall cleaning is essential for homeowners who want to ensure their homes are not only cozy and comfortable, but healthy as well. The following are a few tips homeowners can employ to ensure their home is a welcoming and healthy respite from the winter cold. Clean seasonal items before storing them away. When summer has ended, homeowners must place all the items reminiscent of summer, including the grill, patio furniture and lawn and garden equipment, in storage. A strong disinfectant can quickly remove a season’s worth of dirt and grease, ensuring those seasonal items are ready to go when spring makes its triumphant and long-awaited return. Get a head start on fighting the flu. Perhaps no winter foe is more formidable than the flu, which can find its way into a home, spreading rapidly among residents, especially if a home has not been adequately cleaned. Disinfectant sprays can kill viruses and bacteria in as little as 30 seconds, including the Influenza A2 Virus, Salmonella Choleraesuis, E. coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. Oftentimes, viruses such as the flu are spread when an infected resident touches an item in the home and then that item isn’t cleaned, enabling the virus or bacteria to spread to others. Clean out the garage. Cleaning the garage might seem like a project that’s tailor made for spring cleaning, but it’s actually more advantageous to clean the garage in the fall. A garage that’s clear of clutter can be used to safeguard a vehicle from those in-
evitable winter snowstorms while saving homeowners the hassle of digging their car out of all that ice and snow. What’s more, cleaning the garage at the end of summer creates more room for lawn chairs and other seasonal items that must be stored away before the arrival of winter. Address mold and mildew ahead of time. Winter can trap moisture inside a home, creating an environment that is ideal for the growth of mold and mildew. Mold spores can grow inside a home and compromise the health of a home’s residents, while mildew’s strong odor can make the indoors very unpleasant. As summer ends, homeowners can use Spray Nine Cleaner & Disinfectant to kill the fungus that creates mold and mildew. The product also has a “fungicidal mildewstat” formulation, which helps prevent regrowth of mold and ensures the home is odor-free in the months ahead. Homeowners can use it to treat garbage cans, basements and rooms where pets spend ample time to ensure that the odor doesn’t overtake the home when the windows are closed for the season. Don’t forget the fireplace. While fireplaces are largely ignored during the summer months, there’s nothing quite like gathering around the fireplace with family and friends once winter weather has arrived. But before burning the season’s first fire, be sure to remove any potential safety hazards that might have accumulated near the fireplace, such as old newspapers or magazines, during those months when the fireplace was not in use. Clean the inside of the fireplace as well, making sure to remove any ash, carbon deposits, creosote build-up, dust, smoke residue, and soot before using the fireplace. For information on helpful cleaning products and disinfectants, visit your local hardware store or project centre.

Feisty rookie brings fearless play to Chiefs Eric J. Welsh, The Progress
Not a lot of five-foot-nine 16-year-olds would have the guts to do what Mitch Skapski did during a Sept. 14 road game in Surrey. Late in the first period, the Abbotsford native got under the skin of six-footfour and 215 pound Eagles blueliner Craig Wyszomirski. Skapski was going what he normally does, playing hard and tenacious hockMitch ey whilst drivSKAPSKI ing opponents nuts. He pushed Wyszomirski over the edge with a slash, and the D-man dropped the mitts. Skapski didn’t hesitate to answer the bell. “He pushed me, and once that happens I get a little upset,” he said. “I can say I’ve got a little bit of a short fuse.” Though other players his age and size would have shied away from taking on a much bigger player (a 20-year-old at that), Skapski went after Wyszomirski like a pitbull. “I don’t have any little voices telling me not to do things like that,” Skapski laughed. “It might be a good idea if I did, because it would save me from certain situations. But I enjoy coming to the bench and getting a pat on the back after I go after a big guy.” That fight tells you what you need to know about Chilliwack’s youngest player. That tells you why assistant coach Doug Ast has taken to calling him Skrapski. “He threw some heaters but I felt I held in there pretty good,” Skapski said. “I didn’t think of it in the moment, but I did in the dressing room five minutes later. I was pretty proud of myself, but then I thought, ‘How stupid am I? I could have really gotten hurt there.’” There’s another nickname he might like, one that embodies Skapski’s no-fear approach. Wolverine. One of the smaller animals in the wild is also one of the fiercest, which can certainly be said of Skapski. “It’s not really my goal to aggravate people, but battling hard seems to do it,” he said. “Having the little guy win the puck battle seems to push buttons. I don’t really see myself as a grinder or agitator. I see myself as a hard-working player who can score goals and make plays.” Even Skapski’s not sure where the no-fear thing comes from.
Mitch Skapski (white jersey) is quickly earning a reputation as a thorn in the side of Chilliwack’s opponents. The 16-year-old has impressed Chiefs coach Harvey Smyl with his tenacity and compete level. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Maybe it comes with being the middle brother, stuck between 18-year-old Mackenzie and 14-year-old Marshall. Maybe it is, as Skapski calls it, a case of little man syndrome. Whatever the reason, his on-ice demeanour is quickly making him a Chilliwack fan favourite. “You’ve got to prove yourself out there when you’re the small guy playing against the big guy,” Skapski explained. Off the ice, Skapski is far less in-your-face. Younger brother Marshall is the most outgoing of the three Skapski boys. “He’ll hug anyone he sees,” Skapski laughed. “He’ll go up to anyone and start yapping away with them.” In his downtime, you’ll likely find Skapski taking in some TV, with some... unusual... choices. “Ellen Degeneres at 4 p.m. and X-Factor at 8 p.m.,” Skapski said with a grin. “A lot of people are surprised by the Ellen thing, but I just love her. I have her book, and if I ever got a National Hockey League signing bonus, I’d spend
that to go watch the show live.” And how does he explain X-Factor? “I enjoy all those singing shows, but I enjoy that one because there’s more money, it’s more dramatic, and Simon Cowell and Brittany Spears are on it just trashing people,” Skapski said. Skapski undoubtedly takes some razzing from his teammates over these choices. But if it wasn’t TV it would be something else. It just goes with the territory when you’re the rookie. “But the guys are good to me, especially (Mathieu) Tibbett who’s been watching out for me since the first day of camp,” Skapski said. “They’re great people and I couldn’t have asked for better teammates.” Skapski played for the Fraser Valley Bruins in the BC Major Midget Hockey League last year and did very well. He and Matt Revel (since departed to Saskatoon) were two of the biggest offseason recruiting targets for Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl.
“I absolutely love players like that who play 100 per cent every shift they get,” Smyl said. “He’s got tons of potential and as he grows in this league he’s going to be one of those guys other teams absolutely hate to play against. Guys like him keep coming and coming and make your life hell, and he gets to be a pain in the butt to play against.” Smyl probably sees something of himself in Skapski. Hockey research site hockeydb.com had Smyl listed at fivefoot-10 and 167 pounds during his playing days in the Alberta Junior Hockey League and NCAA. Smyl was able to rack up points and penalty minutes equally well. “I’ve watched Mitch for two years and I know what he’s about,” Smyl said when asked about his rookie taking on behemoth D-men in fights. “Kids like that always seem to find a way.” Long term, it’s still a question about which hockey route Skapski will take. Older brother Mackenzie chose the Western Hockey
League, and he’s now into his third season with the Kootenay Ice. At his current height and age, Skapski might be viewed as not ready to take on the rigours of major junior hockey. His WHL rights belong to the Everett Silvertips. Smyl understands the lure of WHL, but he also believes Skapski could take the BCHL route, get himself an NCAA scholarship and still end up where he really wants to be, in the NHL. “I think the curve for him can go up, up, up constantly,” the bench boss said. “He’s so young and the style he plays — he’s effective at this age and I can only imagine how effective he’ll be when he’s got a year or two under his belt.” Skapski’s Chiefs have two home games coming up this week. Chilliwack sees the Langley Rivermen for the first time Wednesday night, with puck drop at 7 p.m. The Vernon Vipers are in town for a Saturday night clash, also starting at 7 p.m.

Grizzlies quarterback Jordon Breuker looks for a receiver during GW Graham’s 50-8 win over the Rick Hanson Hurricanes on Wednesday. SUBMITTED PHOTO
Grizzlies score convincing first win The GW Graham Grizzlies picked up their first win of the season and first win ever against the Rick Hanson Hurricanes last Wednesday with a convincing 50-8 victory. The Grizzlies were led to their historic victory by quarterback, Jordon Breuker. Breuker completed 9 of 15 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for three more. Breuker also handled the kicking duties for the Grizzlies and was 5 for 7 on point after trys and kicked a 32 yard field goal in the first quarter. Also scoring majors for the Grizzlies were Receivers, Emerson Smith, Ryan Connelly and Trey Von Walsh. Running back Billy Hanson scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter and Slot back Kirkland Kennedy added the final touchdown of the day. The Grizzlies offensive line led by Diego Pineda gave Breuker ample time for finding Receivers and did a phenomenal job run blocking for Running back Tristan Davis. On defense, the Grizzlies were led by
Defensive Linemen, Vincent Giesbrecht and Prince Dhillon, with several tackles each. Corner Ryan Trottier had an interception and effectively shut down the Hurricanes outside run game and passing attack. Linebackers Cyrus Tommy and Donavan Petiteclerc were in the Hurricanes backfield several times with quarterback pressures and sacks. The defense as a group was very solid, only allowing one first down outside of the long touchdown run in the third quarter. “We knew that it would come together eventually noted head coach Laurie Smith. For several weeks now we have been telling the boys to be confident and know that their fortunes would soon change but it was becoming difficult to do after losing several games in a row. This will establish that they are certainly capable of competing and winning in the ultra-competitive eastern division for AA football.” The Grizzlies next play Samuel Robertson Technical on Wednesday, October 10. Their next home game
Blue Giants down Knights The Chilliwack JB Blue Giants extended their winning streak to 3 games this past weekend, with a thrilling 32-8 victory over the defending valley champs, the Ridge Meadow knights. On offence, Giants QB Gabe Olivares continued his strong play this season, scoring two touchdowns on the ground, and hooking up with wide open Ryan Clayton on a 40 yard pass and run to add another one through the air. The Giants also got strong play from Kalum MacPherson and Jonathan Zandberg, filling in on the O line due to injuries, and wide out Colin Campbell, who’s great blocking led to some big runs. Despite the improved play of the offence, the story of the game
for the Giants was their defence. Aggressive and hard hitting, the Giants defence controlled the game from start to finish. Led by linebackers Aydan Harvey, Miguel Wood, and half back Kobe Pool, the Knights running game was rendered completely ineffective, forcing them to go to a passing attack. And when they did, the giants were ready. Ben Madsen had a strong game at corner, picking up his third interception in the last two games. But the play of the game belonged to Harvey, who with Woods applying pressure on the Knights quarterback, picked off the errant pass and weaved her way 60 yards down field to score her first touchdown of the 2012 season, capping of the scoring for the giants.
is against Abbotsford Collegiate on Wednesday, October 24 at 3:15 p.m. at GW Graham Middle Secondary.
Grade 8 squad moves to 2-0 The Grade 8 Grizzlies improved their record to 2-0 with a convincing 40-0 win over Earl Marriott Secondary. QB Wyatt Uzick completed 7 of 8 passes for 128 yards and 2TDs. His TD throws went to Spencer Breslin and Noah Dubosoff while Emilio Pineda added 56 yards on two receptions. Uzick also led the way on the ground with 3 carries for 93yds and 2TDs. Gabe Mannes and Ethan Mastin added 32 and 34 yards respectively in rushing. Kicker Breslin was good on 5 of 7 PATs. The Grizzlies defense was stifling no allowing a single first down or any net gain of yards. Overall Earl Marriott’s offense lost yards. Leading the way with a 5 sack performance was defensive tackle Dakota Mathers.
PeeWee Blue Giants clipped by Meadow Ridge It was another tight contest for PeeWee Blue Giants against the Meadow Ridge Blue Knights. The knights scored early but the giants shook it off with a march down the field and contributions by Hudson Harvey, Nick Butler and Kurtis Flynn who punched it into the endzone. Key blocks from the offensive line including Guard Avery Bearchell allowed the Giants kicker Jacob Brown to kick the point-after and give the Giants the lead 8-6. But the lead wouldn’t last and the Giants were down 19-8 at half time. The Giants defense was solid in the second half with an impressive goal line stand capped by a spectacular tackle by Outside Linebacker Jayden Okoth. The Giants were able to move the ball with running backs Nick Butler and Quinn Venier, but just couldn’t put it in the end zone. Next game is against the Mission 9’ers on Saturday in Mission
As I was watching the Chiefs defeat the visiting Powell River Kings 3-0 last Friday night, questions came to mind about who I thought were the two best players in the game for Chilliwack, 20 year old goaltender Mitch Gillam and 19 year old Tanner Cochrane. With Gillam playing so well and having played every minute for the Chiefs this season I wondered how the Chiefs would get 17 year old backup goaltender Josh Halpenny into a game. My best guess was later this month when the Chiefs have to play three games in two and a half days on Vancouver Island. To my surprise (not that I was wrong, I’m quite used to that) Halpenny got the start Sunday in Surrey. It could not have started worse for him. A few minutes in a shot from center ice beat him. A few minutes later it was 2-0 Surrey. The leash had to be short for him at that point. If Surrey gets the next goal, even if it was a quality goal chances are he was out of the game. It was the Chiefs who got the next goal. Then two more to take a 3-2 lead. Then Luke Esposito scored in the second overtime period to give the Chiefs the win. To say Halpenny settled down is an understatement. He was very good for the rest of that game. Credit to the rest of the team who did a great job limiting quality scoring chances but hat’s off to Halpenny for his ability to shake off a rough start and earn his first BCHL win. The Chiefs acquired Tanner Cochrane from the Powell River Kings just prior to the start of the season. I recognized the name and was quite familiar with his younger brother but I had to check my notes to remind myself what type of player Tanner was. The last time I’d seen him play was three seasons ago when he was playing major midget. My notes included the comments “great work ethic”, “good skater”, “will be able to kill penalties at the junior level” and “not overly creative offensively but his hard work creates chances and he has enough skill to capitalize on those chances”. Then I looked at his numbers last season in Powell River. 41 games played. 1 goal, 3 assists. Okay maybe I was wrong about his ability to capitalize on chances. Or maybe not. Right from his first shift with the Chiefs his strong work ethic was evident. His puck pursuit and tenacity in the offensive zone was creating chances. Then he scored a goal just by sheer determination to get to the net with his stick on the ice in case there was a rebound. Now he has two goals and three assists in seven games with the Chiefs. He was on a very good Powell River team last season and never really got the chance to show what he was capable of. Smart move by Harvey Smyl to give the kid a chance.

Obituaries
NICKEL Henry
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Henry Nickel on the NICKEL morning of September 21, 2012, at the age of 89. Born in the village of Neuendorf, Ukraine, February 17, 1923. Henry moved with his family first to Mexico and then Canada. He spent his life working as a cowboy in the interior of B.C. at the Gang Ranch and the Douglas Lake Ranch. He eventually went from being a ranch hand to working in the forests of Brit-
ish Columbia, starting as a logger and graduating to operating a backhoe building roads. Early in the 80’s Henry and his wife Vera, moved to Rosedale where they bought a small farm. Using his life skills, Henry transformed the swampy land into a vibrant and picturesque farm, an eternal legacy to Henry’s lifelong work ethic. Henry and Vera eventually sold the farm to retire in Chilliwack where they enjoyed the companionship of family and friends. Henry is survived by his wife Vera Nickel, sister Mary Nickel, daughter Lee Mascerelli, son, Mark Nickel, stepdaughters, Carolyn Pinder, Vicky Bachen, Lisa Mitchell, and many grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. There will be a Celebration of Henry’s life, October 26, 2012, 1:00 pm, at Sardis Fellowship Baptist Church. 45187 Wells Road, Chilliwack, B.C. V2R 1H6 In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Sardis Fellowship Baptist Church would be appreciated.

NOTICE OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS Proposed Sub-Regional Transit Service Area Establishment NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to Sections 86 and 94 of the Community Charter, SBC 2003 ch.26, that the Fraser Valley Regional District Board of Directors seeks the approval of the electors within all of Electoral Area D of the Fraser Valley Regional District, for the adoption of “Fraser Valley Regional District Sub-Regional Transit Service Area Establishment Bylaw No. 1178, 2012”. “The general intent of this proposed bylaw is to establish a sub-regional service area for the provision of public transit services in FVRD Electoral Area D, the City of Chilliwack, the District of Kent and the Village of Harrison Hot Springs. The proposed bylaw also authorizes the recovery of funds from the service area for the annual costs of the proposed service. It is anticipated that the funds will be recovered through property taxation and the maximum amount that may be requisitioned annually for the entire service established by this bylaw shall be $180,000. For 2012-2013, the net municipal share is: Village of Harrison Hot Springs: 32% of total service or $57,600 annual taxes District of Kent: 36% of total service or $64,000 annual taxes City of Chilliwack: 25% of total service or $45,000 annual taxes Electoral Area D: 7% of total service or $12,600 annual taxes” PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT the foregoing is a synopsis only of proposed Bylaw No. 1178, 2012 and a true copy of the proposed Bylaw may be inspected at: r UIF 'SBTFS 7BMMFZ 3FHJPOBM %JTUSJDU PGGJDFT TJUVBUFE BU $IFBN Avenue, Chilliwack B.C. between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (excluding statutory holidays) from October 2 to November 9, 2012. r PO UIF 'SBTFS 7BMMFZ 3FHJPOBM %JTUSJDU XFCTJUF BU www.fvrd.bc.ca/ NewsEvents& Notices/Alternative Approval Process for Bylaws Questions on the Initiative may be directed to George Murray, Chief Administrative Officer at 604-702-5000 or toll-free at 1-800-528-0061. Elector approval is being sought by way of the Alternate Approval Process.

Elector response forms, and other related information, may also be found on our website at www.fvrd.bc.ca/NewsEvents& Notices/ Alternative Approval Process for Bylaws. The Board of Directors will proceed with this matter unless, by deadline of 4:30 pm, November 9, 2012, the number of Elector responses is more than 10% of the number of Electors, or 103 responses. The number of electors in the service area for which the elector approval is required is estimated at 1033. An Elector Response Form may only be signed by an elector within Electoral Area D who would otherwise be entitled to vote on this Bylaw The Elector Response Form must be received by the FVRD not later than 4:30 p.m. on November 9, 2012. TAKE NOTICE THAT in the event that the number of electors’ signatures on the combined total of elector response forms received within the deadline represents less than ten percent (10%) of the electors in the service area, the Bylaw is deemed to have received the approval of the electors.
