Spike in property crime seen in north Chilliwack Robert Freeman The Progress

A spike in property crimes on Chilliwack’s north side has the RCMP hitting the streets both in uniforms and plains clothes officers. “We recognized that this is an issue right now in our community and it is a big priority for us,” Sgt. Steve McLeod said. There were 82 thefts from vehicles reported on the north side of Chilliwack between Sept. 1 and Sept. 30, police said. The primary target of these crimes appear to be thefts from motor vehicles. But why the surge isn’t clear. RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said part of the reason could be the fine summer weather Chilliwack has been enjoying. “Crime can be seasonal,” she said, and while homeowners are on holidays or out and about, the criminals are taking advantage of their absence. Auxiliary police officers and volunteers from the Citizens On Patrol group will also be gathering intelligence in an attempt to identify the individuals responsible for the crimes, police said. Anyone with information that can help their investigation is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Chilliwack RCMP map showing areas were crimes have been reported. Police are stepping up patrols following a spate of property crimes in the north end of the city.

Chilliwack SPCA is awash in nervous dachshunds at the moment. The facility on Hopedale Road is housing what remains of a group of 18 standardsize dachshunds surrendered to the SPCA recently by a Chilliwack resident who was breeding them. They’re now looking to foster out the remaining 10 dogs. Foster homes are needed to assist with socializing and teaching them what it is to be a normal pet, said Ivanna Ferris, branch manager of the Chilliwack SPCA. In the long-term, they’re

looking for forever homes. Most of the dogs were female, with many suffering dental problems, a common characteristic of these small dogs. A couple were pregnant and some were underweight. “When they arrived, they were very fearful, and would sometimes snap at people. “But within a matter of days, working closely with our staff and volunteers they’ve changed. Now they’ll come to you without fear. I think they’ve made just a remarkable turn-around in a short time.” They still need to be housetrained and taught how to walk on leash, she said. They’re all under five years old, and

need to be spayed or neutered before being adopted. “They need to be exposed, in a positive way, to normal experiences in home like children, riding in a car or going out in public,” she said. “All of the normal experiences that a family pet would have are important for these nervous little dogs.” But the best type of home would be one that is fairly quiet, without toddlers, noise or too much activity. It was a call from a concerned member of the public that led to the investigation by SPCA. One dachshund is being fostered in Surrey, while another three of the origi-

nal 18 were transferred to a Maple Ridge facility. Another four were transported to the Vancouver SPCA Tuesday, where some dental work will be performed. Already there’s a long list of appointments made by people interested in coming to see the dogs. On Tuesday, some were getting their nails clipped. “Some of the foster homes might turn into forever homes,” said Ferris. “Our goal now is to get them out of the shelter as quickly as we can.” To meet the dachshunds, call the SPCA at 604-823-6612. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Throness seeks BC Liberal nomination in Chilliwack-Hope Robert Freeman The Progress

Laurie Throness is looking forward to winning the BC Liberal nomination in Chilliwack-Hope, and taking on NDP MLA Gwen O’Mahony one more time. O’Mahony won an April byelection here that moved the riding into the NDP camp for the first time in decades. But Throness believes the NDP victory at that time was due only to

Unite or get out, Cummins orders dissident Conservatives

the split in the conservative vote as the upstart BC Conservative Party took votes away from the BC Liberals. “The people of Chilliwack-Hope voted strategically to send a message to the government, and I think they will send a message again ... that they don’t want an NDP government,” Thorness said Tuesday. He said he believes voters in Chilliwack-Hope will return to the BC Liberals in the May 14, 2013

provincial election, just like his former byelection rival John Martin. Martin has now quit the BC Conservatives and is running as the BC Liberal candidate in the Chilliwack riding to replace retiring MLA John Les. In the April byelection, the public expressed its mood by voting for the BC Conservatives, but Throness said he sees a change in that mood as the rival party is torn with internal struggles. Which can only be good news

for the BC Liberals. Throness said if he wins the BC Liberal nomination, he’s eager to get back on the campaign trail and stand by the BC Liberal government’s financial record. “It’s a government that deserves to be re-elected,” he said. “It’s going to be an epochal action,” he said, about the upcoming election. “I’m looking forward to it.” No date has been set for the BC Liberal nomination meeting

in Chilliwack-Hope, but Throness said his candidate’s application was accepted by the party last Thursday. His nomination as the party’s candidate seems assured, not just because of his previous political experience and conservative connections, but he was also front and centre at the news conference with MLA John Les when Martin announced his decision to leave the BC Conservatives. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Cancellation of Cultus Lake question period still under fire

Letter says 20 local presidents want new party leader Jeff Nagel

The Progress

BC Conservative leader John Cummins has issued an ultimatum to dissident party members who continue to agitate for a replacement: unite behind him or get out. The showdown comes as more Conservative insiders are public opposing Cummins continuing as leader. “Those few but vocal party members who are critical of my leadership and do not support me have until 12:00 noon, Wednesday, to either get onside or quit our party and join another,” Cummins said in a news release. Those who leave by the deadline will be refunded membership fees and any donations made within the last year, he said. Cummins said his dedication to the BC Conservatives is “unwavering” and that he fully intends to lead the party into next May’s provincial election. “I’m not going anywhere,” he said. Cummins cited last month’s 70 per cent vote of party members against a leadership review as evidence of a “solid majority” behind him, but the split in the party continues to fester. A leaked letter sent to Cummins Tuesday from Allison Patton and Ariane Eckardt – the party’s constituency association presidents in Surrey-White Rock and Burnaby North, respectively – pleads for him to quit and give the Tories a new chance to win back voters. In it, Patton and Eckardt say there are there are now 20 local

Several Cultus Lake residents are lodging complaints about the Cultus Lake Park Board with the B.C. Ombudsperson. Former Park Board commissioner Terry Woodrow said the reason for lodging a complaint is his growing concern about the June 27 board decision to cancel the public question period portion of meetings indefinitely. “Their decision effectively cut the public off at the knees,” he said. “Who does that?” In the wake of the in-camera decision, the board chair was given the mandate to draft a letter explaining why the park board came to this decision. Some commissioners and staff felt they weren’t being given the “respect” they deserve, and that some members of the public had “stepped over the proper lines of decorum” during question period. Woodrow said the “respect” issue cited, is just a smokescreen. “I made the complaint because I think the public needs some relief from this decision that the park board made in camera to violate their own bylaws,” said Woodrow. As of press deadline, a proposal to reconsider the whole question period matter at Wednesday night’s meeting was contained in the meeting agenda. There were several scenarios proposed by Commissioner Charlotte Hall, and two of them suggest changing the wording of the procedural bylaw from the board “shall” hold a 30-minute question period, to “may.” One of the ideas is even gaining even tighter control over question period. “When the Chair or Commissioner(s) considers the conduct of the public improper, the Chair shall close the question period immediately,” reads one of the proposals. Woodrow is alarmed. “It’s outrageous.” During his term as a commissioner, public question period was always a crucial and democratic part of the board’s function. But there is also some history dating back to 2009 when park board officials tried to change the question period and opt not to keep a record of the public questions.

Rain expected to improve stream flow for spawning salmon Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The coming rains should help local migrating salmon.

The Chilliwack River, including its tributaries and channels, has been experiencing low water conditions but this isn’t affecting the

adult salmon migration to the Chilliwack River Hatchery, said a Fisheries and Oceans Canada official. “It is still early in the

fall salmon migration so the impact on fish has so far been minimal,” said DFO media spokesperson Carrie Mishima.

The peak spawning time for most salmon is still two weeks to a month away. Salmon tend to hold off entering freshwater until the fall rains begin, but there have been local reports about chum salmon already returning to the Hope Slough spawning riffle. Rain is forecast, so

water flows should improve soon, said Mishima. Right across B.C., many streams are experiencing low water flow levels due to ongoing drought conditions. “The Department is monitoring the situation closely, and to date salmon continue to migrate successfully

into most river systems,” she said. Information on stream flow conditions at http://bcrfc.env. gov.bc.ca/bulletins/ watersupply/. Info on drought conditions in British Columbia is available at http://www. livingwatersmar t.ca/ drought/. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Crash victim expected to recover Robert Freeman The Progress

An elderly female driver seriously injured in a three-vehicle crash last Thursday on Chilliwack Central Road is expected to make a full recovery, Chilliwack RCMP say. “Everyone was very lucky to survive this one,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said Tuesday. “This was a really serious accident that had traffic diverted for the duration of the investigation,”

she said. Chilliwack Central Road was closed for several hours while RCMP accident investigators studied the crash site between Gibson Road and Upper Prairie Road. The Integrated Collision Reconstruction Services has conduct of the investigation, and further details of what happened were not available Tuesday. But according to an initial report, a Mazda 3 heading east on Chilliwack Central was about

to turn left when it was hit from behind by a Honda Civic, pushing it into the westbound lane. But it was the Honda Civic that was then struck by a westbound pickup truck. The driver of the Honda Civic, an elderly woman from Chilliwack, was airlifted to the Royal Columbian Hospital with “potentially lifethreatening injuries.” “The elderly female driver is still in hospital, but is expected to make a full recovery,” Wolbeck said.

Complaint lodged over Cultus Lake Park Board

Trade-in days!

Cultus from page 3 “I think there is a real disconnect here, and the commissioners aren’t doing themselves any favours,” Woodrow said. “In fact I think they’re doing the public and themselves a great disservice. “The majority of the board has decided it does not want to hear what the public has to say, and that’s just wrong.” An official with the BC Ombudsperson office said there could be no statement to the media, not even confirmation of complaints lodged, until after they are investigated and the report is filed. Woodrow said he hopes the BC Ombudsperson recognizes his official complaint for what it is: a request that the board follow its own bylaws. Another leaseholder Rick Williamson has submitted two complaints so far this year. One on Aug. 20 to the BC Ombudsperson office stating the board has violated its own bylaws by cancelling question period. Then another on Oct. 6 about the fact that the board made the decision in-camera, calling it an “abuse” of the in-camera meeting provisions. The issue of public feedback to the Park Board has come up in the past. The 2011-12 annual report issued in May 2012 from the BC Ombudsperson states that they received complaints about the process followed by the Cultus Lake Park Board in deciding to increase seasonal camping fees at Sunnyside campground. “The people who contacted us were concerned they were not adequately consulted and did not have a meaningful opportunity to express their interests and concerns before the Board decided to increase camp fees.”

News Conservatives urged to get behind leader leader from page 3 presidents asking Cummins to resign. “We want you to know we are not leaving,” they wrote. “But we ask, for the sake of the party, that you do.” They’re also holding Cummins responsible for the “exorcising and excommunicating” of dissident Tories who they said have apparently been deemed “enemies” by party officials. John Martin, the former Conservative candidate in ChilliwackHope, defected to the Liberals last month and the party’s lone MLA – former BC Liberal John van Dongen – quit the Tories after the AGM vote. “This division has cost us our only sitting MLA and the possibility of having others who were ready to cross,” the Patton-Eckhardt letter says. “These missed opportunities cannot be undone.” Party president Al Siebring said the leadership issue was settled last month and the party will run under Cummins in the 2013 election. “I simply will not allow our party to be distracted by a handful

of dissidents who will not abide by the majority’s decision, and per-

sonally will take all appropriate measures after noon Wednesday

to ensure that we are united behind our leader.”

Like a nasty computer virus, the XL Foods meat recall is casting a wider net and creating more problems as each day dawns. From the initial recall of beef processed by the Alberta plant between Aug. 24 and Sept. 5, the beef recall has now extended to thousands of stores. Hundreds of products from ground beef to prepared kebabs are on the do-not-eat (or cook-’til-charred) list, even though more than a month has passed since problems were first detected. As many as 10 E. coli cases in Alberta, Quebec and Newfoundland were linked to beef products from the XL Foods plant, where E. coli was initially detected on Sept. 4, and now a B.C. man has been identified as recovering from the illness caused by eating beef processed at XL Foods. This makes the XL Foods beef recall a national issue requiring a thorough investigation if confidence in the Canadian food system is to be restored. While not deadly as the Walkerton tragedy, in which seven people died from drinking E. coli-contaminated water, many questions remain about who knew what and when — and what was done about it. The laxity of procedures at the plant and the length of time it took to identify the meat products affected could have put people’s lives in jeopardy. Initial stock-taking suggests some rigorous analysis of checks and rechecks of food processing systems at XL Foods is required. Other meat processing plants should be subject to review as well. This isn’t unnecessary red-tape and regulation; rather, it’s important for the industry to be able to guarantee that beef processed at plants is safe to eat. But questions also remain about the three-day lag between the time that Canadian Food Inspection Agency knew of problems of meat imported to the U.S. and when it began alerting the Canadian public. Could more have been done sooner? Let’s hope we find out. While the ever-expanding recall seems a bit like closing the door after the cow has left the barn, this could be an opportunity to shovel out the manure and start over with a fresh bed of hay. ~ Black Press

Skills training ‘our mission,’ Dix declares

VICTORIA – My column on skills training a couple of weeks ago gave short shrift to the NDP position: tax the banks and hand out grants for women’s studies, sociology and other worthless pursuits, while skilled jobs go begging. That’s a pretty crude caricature, so I sat down with NDP leader Adrian Dix in his legislature office last week to get a better sense of his thinking on the subject. Dix has been devoting a lot of time lately to skills training, in trades particularly. He meets frequently with business people now, and his recent speeches emphasize that every one of them talks about the growing shortage of skilled employees. Dix credits Premier Christy Clark and jobs minister Pat Bell with making some good moves recently, announcing equipment

upgrades for vocational programs around the province. He says it’s because the NDP have been “pounding away at them for eight months” about freezing advanced education spending in their March budget. Dix calls that a crucial mistake and predicts the government will Tom reverse it soon. “So I think, FLETCHER if we’re going to have a mission for four years as a government, if we’re elected, this is the mission: to start to address the skills shortage,” he told me. In his speech to the recent municipal convention, and again at an NDP provincial council meeting, Dix zeroed in on B.C.’s apprenticeship system. Since

the B.C. Liberals took it from trade unions and set up a Crown corporation called the Industry Training Authority in 2004, the completion rate for apprentices has fallen to 37 per cent, he said. Dix assured me he isn’t proposing to “blow up” the ITA, or hand control back to unions. They will have “a voice,” along with business. Speaking to the NDP executive, Dix referred to Phil Hochstein, president of the nonunion Independent Contractors and Businesses’ Association, as the symbol of trades training decline. Not surprisingly, Hochstein has a different take. The 37 per cent figure is misleading, Hochstein said, because under the ITA there are currently 32,000 apprentices in the system, twice as many as when it was union controlled. Many drop out in the first year, and Alberta

claims a better completion rate because they don’t start counting until the second year. And when Dix touts Alberta’s “mandatory” trade system, Hochstein said he means returning to a system where all work is restricted to journeymen or registered apprentices of that trade. “What it does is impose union jurisdiction on the training system of the entire construction industr y,” Hochstein said. “So multi-skilling, multi-tasking, organizing the work in the most efficient way is blown out of the water, and it’s stuck in the old craft system of training.” The marketplace has spoken on that restrictive system, he said, and unionized construction is down to about five per cent of the market, based on payroll. Hochstein said the NDP talks a great game about getting more young people into trades. But

when unions have the upper hand, they will always favour seniority. A quota of two apprentices per journeyman means another one can’t be hired. Dix agreed with me that the public school system has overemphasized university, to the detriment of not just industrial trades but lab techs, chefs and other skilled workers that are in short supply. As B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair recently noted, tradesmen themselves often don’t encourage their kids, because they’ve been told all their lives that they are “tool monkeys” in a dead-end job. And would NDP student grants be targeted to need? Dix’s answer was a definite maybe.

Too many risks with decriminalization

I find it difficult to comprehend the open vote on the legalization of cannabis at the UBCM meetings in Victoria on Wednesday September 26th. There are too many flaws in this idea to legalize this substance that it would take many pages of your newspaper to list them all. I was directly involved in the ministry of dealing with addictions for many years and there are issues of how marijuana affects the chemical make-up of the body. You never here about these issues because the left wing media doesn’t want this information out in the public. When God created humans, we represent his most the most complex living being of all His creation. There is a delicate balance in our created bodies that should not be tampered with. He created our bodies as a temple and as such we should not pollute this temple. Did you know that when a person smokes marijuana or ingests it there is a substance that coats the very tiny brain cells and this substance never leaves the body and as it builds up over years of use there is a significant deterioration in the capacity of

the brain cells to function normally. There are a variety of effects on different people but suffice it to say there are a lot of mentally ill people in our society today that would not be in that state if they didn’t use marijuana. I have counseled young people who were straight-A students in high school and get off on the wrong track at university or college and get into using marijuana and the result in some cases is devastating. In some cases the personality is completely changed and they flunk out of school and their lives take a pathway of destruction that we see every day on our streets in addicted people. I know of two cases that the young men committed suicide because of what the altering chemicals in marijuana did to their brains. I also want to address the issue of greed on this subject. I heard a stupid woman who is an elected official somewhere in this province say that it would be a good tax resource for municipalities if marijuana was legalized. What a joke! If they only understood the devastating affect that the use of

this drug and others like alcohol have on the health care system of our province they would maybe re-think that idea. But we have a situation here where the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Our elected officials are so hungry for tax dollars that they can’t see the forest for the trees, shame on them. We should be more careful as to how we handle these issues and we can look back at history and learn some lessons but human kind seems to ignore lessons learned. So here we are on a slippery slope of our society getting on board with the world as Noah new it and as it was in the days of Soddom and Gomorrah. We have opportunity to live our lives in a clean and natural way as God has created us but we seem to ignore the results of lessons of history. Hopefully some of our leaders in our land will understand this slippery slope is one that they cannot justify and will only pay dearly for on our day of judgment. Gary S. Johnson

B.C. man recovers from E. coli linked to XL Foods beef Black Press

A Vancouver Island man is B.C.’s first confirmed case of the E. coli strain that has spread through contaminated beef processed by the shuttered XL Foods plant in Alberta. The B.C. Centre For Disease Control said it is continuing to investigate to determine the exact source of the infection after receiving lab confirmation of the case. The man has since recovered from the illness and is one of more than 10 Canadians who have become sick in the wake of the biggest beef recall in the country’s history.

B.C. routinely detects 110 to 180 cases of the 0157:H7 strain of E. coli each year and BCCDC officials said there has been no detected increase in those numbers in recent months. Officials urge consumers to discard any beef products in their home that are on the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s latest expanded list of recalled products that originated through XL Foods but were sold by virtually every major B.C. grocer under many other brand names. For details on the more than 1,500 recalled products, including identifying UPC codes and best-before dates, see: http://inspection.gc.ca/recalls_ XLFoods.

Advanced Planning

By Naomi Yamamoto, Minister of State for Small Business

VICTORIA - Did you know that in B.C., more than one million people are employed by small businesses? Or that 98 per cent of all businesses in B.C. are small businesses? Small business is big business in B.C.! Premier Christy Clark understands just how vital small business is to the economic engine of B.C., and that is why she has made small business a priority by creating my new portfolio. This will allow all of government to focus specifically on the issues and concerns that affect business owners and their communities. This October, I want everyone to recognize small businesses, as well as their owners and employees, throughout B.C.

Owning and operating your own business is no easy task. It’s work that requires immense courage, imagination, dedication and drive. You work long hours and invest everything you’ve got into making your business a success. I am constantly amazed by the wonderful things that B.C.’s small-business owners are doing in their communities. Even if you don’t own your own business, or aren’t employed by a small business, those businesses support your communities every day. B.C.’s smallbusiness owners also understand the need to be fiscally disciplined and why having a balanced budget is so important. As one columnist recently noted, “...when it comes to understanding the importance of jobs and

fiscal discipline, and providing for one’s family, there is no sector that understands it better than BC’s small business sector.” I understand the life of a small-business owner, as I ran my own business for 21 years. I also worked with other businesses in my community, with the BC Chamber of Commerce and the North Vancouver Chamber. As the Minister of State for Small Business, I will work every day to make it easier for small-business owners to do business in B.C. Sometimes what’s most challenging for business owners is getting things up and running. In B.C., we are blessed to have so many creative and talented people and often times their new and innovative ideas need financial support to get off the ground. We want to encourage more angel investors. As part of the BC Jobs Plan, our government is providing a $3-million increase to B.C.’s successful Small Business Venture Capital Program tax credit, targeted to direct investments in new businesses. This program encourages angel investors to invest their own capital directly into eligible, local, small business and offer strategic expertise. We currently support this program with up to $100 million annually. I hear one thing time and time again from our business community: time spent filling out forms is time away from improving and growing their busi-

nesses. B.C. is leading the country in the fight against red tape. We’ve reduced regulatory requirements by over 42 per cent since 2001 - that’s more than 150,000 regulatory requirements off the books! And we’ve committed to holding the line right through to 2015. We also continue to support BizPaL - now in 112 communities - in addition to the expansion of the Mobile Business Licence. But we know that there are more things we need to do to help the close to 400,000 small businesses operating in B.C. That’s why it’s important to hear from owners about what’s working and what needs improvement. As co-chair of the Small Business Roundtable, I will be consulting with business communities throughout the province. I’m confident that by working together, we will be able to create the most businessfriendly environment in the country. I also want to recognize the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and their SmallBiz Saturday event on Oct. 20. I encourage all British Columbians to get out and support your local small businesses. They are vital to the health and growth of your city or town, and B.C. would not be the same without our small-business owners. This month I will be out in communities throughout the province, meeting with small-business owners and their employees to celebrate their successes and listen to their concerns. I hope to see many of you during Small Business Month in B.C. Thank you to the small business community.

Business Conference - Oct. 18 & 19 - Over 45 Vendors - Keynote Speakers - Engaging Workshops

Practical advice and inspiration for Chilliwack business Running a small business can be an isolating experience, and opportunities for professional development rare and expensive. And yet, without an injection of fresh ideas a businesses can grow stale. That’s why for the third year in a row, the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce has brought some of the

best in the business world to Chilliwack to share their knowledge and offer their inspiration in a two-day workshop. The conference has something for everyone, says Chamber executive director Pattie MacAhonic. “It’s an excellent opportunity for professional development in the realm of lifelong learn-

ing.” But the key, says MacAhonic, has been to bring in speakers and organize workshops that have a practical application in Chilliwack. Participants will have eight workshops to choose from over the two days. Topics range from managing stress in the workplace to understanding the

needs of your customers. Employees are the backbone of any business and that’s something Carol Hama understands. As director of the City of Richmond’s human resources department, she’s helped earn that city national recognition. She’ll be in Chilliwack to offer business own-

ers concrete ways to keep their employees engaged and enthused. Understanding your customers is also critical to the success of any business, MacAhonic says. But it’s not just understanding what they want, it’s knowing what they need. Debbie Palmer has more than 25 years experience motivating

KEY NOTE SPEAKER: Ryan Walter

Ryan Walter will draw from his NHL experience as a player and as a coach to deliver an interactive session highlighting the importance of the mental skills for winning in business, sport and life. Personal wellness begins by choosing our “thoughts”. Ryan’s session will challenge people to decrease distraction and increase focus towards “what you want”.

Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce and CEPCO proudly present the 3 rd ANNUAL Over 40 exhibitors at the conference - all open to the public at no charge!

ASK AN EXPERT:

Here’s your opportunity to ask questions of the panel of professionals: • Accountants • Lawyers • Marketing • Insurance • Succession Planning

and inspiring sales professionals. She’ll show participants how to determine the “needs” of their customers – something particularly important in tight economic times, when discretionary spending is limited. Says MacAhonic: “If you have what the customer needs, you’ll have the sale.” Topics for some of the other workshops include workplace safety, incorporating social media into your business presence, and understanding credit and credit management. In addition to the workshops, several speakers will also share their experiences. For example, Alex MacAuley and Joel Primus, who were featured on CBC’s Dragon’s Den, will talk about their journey. Guests also include Maureen Kirkbride, president of the BC Chamber of Commerce, and Michael Graydon, president and CEO of the BC Lottery Corporation. Keynote speaker for the event is Ryan Walter, a former NHL player and coach who

will help participants focus their energy and thoughts toward personal wellness. MacAhonic says the lineup is impressive, and would be out of reach for many small business owners in larger centers. But the Chilliwack Chamber made a concerted effort to make it accessible to local business. It’s now even offering tickets to the twoday event for $100 in hopes of encouraging more people – owners, employees or even someone thinking of opening a business – to take part “The people that we have are very downto-earth, very handson,” MacAhonic says. “They understand what businesses need to survive.” Participants will like what they hear, she says. “When they leave the conference they’re going to walk away and say ‘Wow.’” The Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce Business Conference is Oct. 18-19, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Coast Chilliwack Hotel. For ticket information call 604.793.4323.

Progress Jennifer

Feinberg

Sandra Lounsbury of Chilliwack is one of two featured quilters in the upcoming show PieceMaking in the Valley Oct. 19-20. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

A passion for making beautiful quilts The Progress

Sandra Lounsbury has an absolute passion for quilting. Appliqué quilts. Log cabin quilts. Whole cloth quilts. Art quilts. Lounsbury loves them all. In fact she has 32 pieces ready to be hung in The Quilt Show: PieceMaking in the Valley, Oct. 19-20 at the Chilliwack Alliance Church. And that’s just a small sample of her considerable and most beloved quilt collection. “It’s a passion,” she says simply. “I just love stitching.” The featured quilter has taken many quilting courses, but is basically self-taught.

She’s been quietly at it for years, decades even, and she’s been in guild shows before. But nothing like this. “I’ve never had a large-scale exhibit like this,” Lounsbury says. “I usually only show one quilt.” She and another member of the Chilliwack PieceMakers Quilting Guild, Enid Kulesh, will be in the spotlight as featured quilters for the 2012 Quilt Show, with many examples of the various types of quilts. “There will be many wonderful quilts to see in the show. We have so much talent in the guild.” They’re expecting more than 200 pieces to be on display. Something the casual observer might not realize is the incredible

painstaking nature of quilting. “The biggie is the amount of time that goes into each piece. It’s tremendous,” she says. “But I have a very understanding man. So if I want to sew, it’s quite all right.” She works away at the art of traditional quilting out of a large studio in her basement, with a walk-in closet full of quilts that takes everyone’s breath away. Like any serious quilter, she has stashes of fabric, thread, trim, and lace. And the books on the art of quilting could fill a library. But her glorious quilts are not for sale. They’re just for sharing. Lounsbury’s specialty is hand quilting. Although she is now starting to do some of the piecing

and quilting by machine. “This old girl has changed her tune.” She calls herself a hand quilter, and doesn’t really see herself as an art quilter. “I’m just dabbling in art. My focus is mostly traditional quilts.” She figures she’s come “a long way” since high school when she dropped out of home economics class to take Latin instead. “But I married a man whose mother was a dressmaker. She taught me dressmaking and I taught her how to quilt.” One of her hand-quilted offerings in the show, a “whole cloth” example in a rich cream colour, won a ribbon from the Canadian Quilting Association two years

ago. “It shows the hand-quilting stitches.” So with two different quilting guilds in Chilliwack, with more than 80 members apiece, it’s clearly not a lost art in this part of the Fraser Valley. “No, it’s still thriving here. “In the early 1980s, I almost bought a quilt shop. I was told it was a dying art. But it wasn’t. It really has blossomed all over.” The Quilt Show: PieceMaking in the Valley, Oct. 19 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Oct. 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Chilliwack Alliance Church, 8700 Young Rd., with 200+ quilts, a merchants’ mall, tea room, demonstrations and raffles.

Organizers say the viewing public is in for a treat. Ann Pradine specializes in stained glass, always striving for new and modern mediums, and also works with wire sculpture. Evelyn Zuberbier, whose paintings can be found in private collections around the world, including that of a former Prime Minister of Japan, joins fellow artist Dan Berube in the show, whose brilliant watercolours mirror his perception of light, which is at the core of his work. “We are ver y fortunate to have such an exhibition showing in our city,” said Mary Chalmers Main, spokesperson for the CVAA. Meet the artists at the opening Reception on Saturday Oct. 20 from 12 noon until 2 p.m., at the Art Gallery in the Cultural Centre, on Corbould Street.

Tough Decision, yet a Wise Choice! When we die, someone will be responsible for our final wishes. It is not an easy task and most people struggle with the difficult decision making. Fortunately, we have the solution for you and your loved ones. Prearranging your own funeral ensures you and your family peace of mind and will make things easier in their time of grief. You can choose the type of service you want at a cost you can afford. On your death, your family does not have to worry about second-guessing your wishes or paying for a funeral at an emotional time. Everything is taken care of. At Dignity Memorial we work with you to plan a service filled with personalized details. From time-honoured traditions to personal photographs, favourite readings and special songs, you can design the service to be a unique reflection of your life. We have two new affordable products to alleviate the financial burden of a funeral. For example, prearranging for someone age 50 years can cost as little as $16 per month. For someone age 60 years it can cost as little as $19 per month. To help you begin, we are offering a complimentary Dignity Memorial Personal Planning Guide. In addition, we will extend a 12% savings on the HST for entrusting us with your funeral prearrangements. This will be in effect until November 30, 2012. Contact us today to receive a free copy of the guide.

Watch for our INSERT in Tuesday’s Chilliwack Progress.

Your community funeral homes that care. Call now to plan ahead.

Get ready for ‘Melody Mayhem’

If you’ve got a song in your heart and like to whistle while you work, here’s a chance to test that musical knowledge. This Saturday Chilliwack Community Services is hosting its first ever “Melody Mayhem.” The event is similar to “name that tune.” Teams try to guess the name of a song – and the artist – after

listening to a short clip of music. There are prizes to be won, but more importantly bragging rights to be earned in an evening that’s sure to be filled with laughter and fun. You’ll be tested on a variety of musical styles, including rock, country, the blues, even TV shows. CCS has organized the event as a fund raiser to support its family

literacy programs. Those programs, which help foster reading and literacy skills, have been part of CCS’s commitment to the community for 20 years. There are still spots available. If you can’t organize a team, you can still take part. Come by yourself, or bring a friend and CCS organizers will find you a team.

Community Test your trivia with friends Toy Run takes to the road Sunday

No trivia is too trivial! Test your memory at the Friends of the Chilliwack Library’s 9th Annual Quiz Night. Come for a fun evening of laughter, groans and a

chance to win the famous “Smarty Pants Award”! Win door prizes or buy tickets for the gift basket raffle! Bring your group of eight, or come alone and

join others to form a team. Tickets for this popular event are $13 per person, include a snack and are available from the library’s Customer Service Desk.

The Upper Fraser Valley Toy Run takes place this Sunday, with muster points in Mission and Chilliwack. The 26th annual event brings together hundreds of bikers who ride en-masse to Abbotsford and all donate a new unwrapped children’s toy. All collected items are dis-

tributed through the Christmas Bureau. In Mission riders leave at 9:45 a.m. from the Liquidation World parking lot. Chilliwack and area riders will meet in the Sears parking lot on Luckakuck Way, also departing at 9:45 a.m.

Brothers Harrison (left) and Garett Baumstark, from Chilliwack took a break from the line ups to climb a rock wall while visiting Hell’s Gate on Sunday afternoon for the fifth annual pumpkin drop. The event marks the end of the season for the historic attraction, but this year’s event was also part of the celebrations taking place in Hope throughout the weekend marking the 30th anniversary of Rambo: First Blood. The Sylvester Stallone classic was shot primarily in Hope and the surrounding area. Jessica Peters/ Black Press

Mainland madness

If the rosters were to stay the same all season, it’s likely the race would go down to the final weekend, writes Jacob Bestebroer

Chilliwack goaltender Mitch Gillam leads his Chiefs into a Saturday night home-ice clash with the visiting Vernon Vipers. Puck drop is 7 p.m. at Prospera Centre as the Chiefs try to continue the run that has taken them to the top of the Mainland division. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Anyone who predicted an extremely tight race in the BCHL’s Mainland division has so far been proven right. Prior to last night’s game between Chilliwack and Langley, the five teams in the division were separated by just two points. At most, as of today, it’s up to three points and that’s if the Chiefs won last night’s game in regulation time. By comparison, 11 points separate the six teams in the Interior division. The Island division’s first and last teams are eight points apart. Prior to last night’s games the Chiefs had played five games against Mainland division teams, with three going to double overtime and one ending in a rare tie. It’s still impossible to predict which of the five teams will miss the playoffs. If the rosters were to stay the same all season, it’s likely the race would go down to the final weekend. But we know rosters will change, either by way of injuries or trades, and whichever team is fortunate to avoid key injuries and/or make some shrewd player moves will greatly improve their playoff chances. Last Saturday’s game at Prospera Centre versus Coquitlam had a little of everything and I think most people in attendance would agree with me

that it was the most exciting game played in that building in a long time. The two teams combined for 113 shots on goal. The Chiefs had two goals waved off that likely should have counted, and head coach Harvey Smyl was thrown out for arguing one of those decisions. Chilliwack’s Shay Laurent hit the post with two seconds left in the first overtime. Chiefs forward Luke Esposito was awarded and missed a penalty shot in the second overtime. Most people were looking forward to the Chiefs returning to the Mainland division this season, but I’ll admit I was on the fence at best. It’s only taken 20 per cent of the season to swing me to the side most of you are on. Having said that, I am looking forward to Saturday’s home game versus the Vernon Vipers. It’s the only time we’ll see them here this season barring playoffs. It’s a great rivalry that goes back to 1990, the Chiefs first season in Chilliwack. Two well-run organizations that represent their communities with pride. See you there.

Quarterback change pays off for midget football Giants A timely lineup change helped the Chilliwack midget Giants get back on track, demolishing Langley 32-3 in weekend minor football action. Head coach Suresh Parray made the change at quarterback, installing rookie Josh Pretty as the number one pivot. Pretty scored the first points on Saturday, getting a touchdown off a quarterback keeper. While the offence continued to put up

points, the defence put up a wall that Langley couldn’t crack. Led by Owen Devries, Brandon Tooke, Michael Popovici, Matt McConnell and Perry Ross, they limited the Bears to a secondquarter field goal. With the win, Chilliwack evened its record at 3-3. The defence will be tested Saturday against a North Surrey squad that leads the league in points scored.

● The bantam Giants improved to 5-0 with a 34-0 thwomping of the Langley Bears. Hunter Larocque was the offensive leader, churning out 174 rushing yards and two touchdowns while completing 10 of 12 passes. The offensive line was solid once again, led by Chris Derksen, Emerson Harvey and AJ Sagrott. Running back Nashon Douglas carried 13 times for

110 yards and one touchdown. Thijs Duineveld and Colton Derouin added majors as Chilliwack rolled up 456 yards in total offence. The Giants defence allowed just four first downs the entire game, led by linebackers Jace Harden, Mike Folland, Rajah Sandu and Lane Levesque. Cole Wood had two interceptions. ● The junior bantam

Blue Giants played two games over the Thanksgiving weekend, with mixed results. Chilliwack opened with a 30-12 road win over Mission. Running back Mitchell Byrne scored two touchdowns on offence and added a third on a 70 yard kick return. He was aided by some great blocking from Emilio Pineda and his offensive line (Nat Oenema, Jacob Butler,

Kalum MacPerson, Stade Douglas and Erik Vander Werff). Chilliwack’s league leading defence was led by halfbacks Ben Madsen and Koby Pool, each with one interception. In the second half, Tynan Ackah-Sanzah recovered two Mission fumbles to help seal the victory. In their second game of the weekend the Giants saw their four game winning streak

snapped with a 32-8 loss to the Abbotsford white Falcons. Quarterback Gabe Olivares scored the lone Chilliwack touchdown, sneaking up the middle for a five yard major. Madsen and Pool struck again on defence, each coming up with an interception. Madsen now has six on the season. Byrne, Brody Van Velze and Joshua Balzer all had strong games on D.

Good Sport of the week!

Huskers hopeful Jesse Kendall and Dillon Fortune also finding the endzone. The Huskers did well to thwart the Sun ground game, allowing just 121 rushing yards. Kris Bush led the way with seven solo tackles. Jerry Sidhu had five. Chilliwack’s offence had a good first half and a lousy second. In the first half, the Huskers generated 125 yards. In the second, they generated -15 yards. Chilliwack had no ground game, with Bush, Braden Churly, Dylan Boykowich and Ty Derayos combining for just 36 yards on 11 carries. Churly was 15 of 32 passing for 113 yards, with Josh Hayden catching five balls. Boykowich and Brody Slagman had three catches apiece. Saturday’s game against Kamloops kicks off at 2 p.m. Chilliwack has lost two prior meetings with the Broncos this season.

The Chilliwack Huskers have one final shot to ward off a winless season when they host the 2-7 Kamloops Broncos Saturday afternoon at Exhibition Stadium. Chilliwack’s BC Football Conference squad dropped to 0-9 last weekend with a 36-0 home-field loss to the Okanagan Sun. The scoreboard was bad, but Chilliwack’s performance provided more evidence that they are slowly getting better. The Sun led 14-0 at halftime and didn’t break the game wide open until the fourth quarter. The Okanagan offence generated 350 yards. Quarterback Cam Bedore was eight of 21 passing against an improving Husker secondary. Bedore had three touchdown tosses and backup QB Austin Komonoski had one. Sun wideout Tommy Howes reeled in two scoring strikes with

HISDALE Verner Alfred, MSM, CD

Jan. 24, 1933 - Oct. 8, 2012 Verner Alfred Hisdal died Monday night in his home in Yarrow as he wished. Vern HISDALE was 79 and struggling with complications from heart disease. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Joan Hisdal; his four children: Howard (wife Dana), David (Joanne), Gregory (Katherine) and ConnieJoan (Tiger); 10 grand-children, Scott, Kate, Leah (Rob), Suzanne, Alexander, Elisabeth, Holly, Heather, Anna and Sarah; and one greatgrandson, Damien. Dad grew up near Rocky Mountain House and in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, during the Depression as an only child. At 16 he joined the Canadian Army and served as an infantryman in the Royal Canadian Regiment where he parachuted into the Arctic on a Cold War training exercise. He was released as too young for the Korean War, worked briefly on the oil rigs and then as an orderly at the Ponoka Mental Hospital where he met his wife, Joan, who was working there as a registered nurse. Dad rejoined the army as a military policeman in the Canadian Provost Corps. He was posted to London, England, in 1956, and soon after to Germany then back to Canada to Edmonton. He was most proud of his one-year tour of duty in the United Nations Emergency Force in Egypt where on the beach in the Gaza Strip he single-handedly intercepted an illegal arms shipment and earned the Meritorious Service Medal. He also served in Ottawa and Camp Borden in Ontario. His last posting was to Camp Chilliwack where he retired from the Canadian Forces after 25 years of service at the rank of sergeant. He went on to have another career in the BC Corrections Service at the forest camps in the Chilliwack River Valley where he was a sawmill officer. Dad always found time to hunt and fish. He liked to hunt moose and grizzly bears as well as mountain sheep and deer. He was an excellent shot and won trophies for his shooting at the Connaught Ranges in Ottawa. He loved dogs and always had one or

two around the house. He was also a golfer and active in his community of Yarrow. He served in the Conservative Party Riding Association and was a member of the Legion. He instilled the values of hard work and ambition in all of his children. The funeral service for Vern Hisdal will be held Saturday afternoon, October 13, 2012, at 1:30 p.m. in St. Paulâ€™s Lutheran Church in Chilliwack followed by an internment in the Yarrow Cemetery.
