Racers laugh as they turn a tight corner while competing in the Adventure Challenge for Kids, a multi-sport fundraiser for the Canucks for Kids Fund at Cultus Lake on the weekend. The event saw 80 competitors from the Fraser Valley race in Chilliwack on Saturday, and more than 170 people race in Vancouver on Sunday. The fundraiser featured kayaking, trail running and cycling, and each of the 250-plus people competing in the event raised a minimum of $1,000. The Canucks for Kids Fund will distribute the funds to Canuck Place Children’s Hospital and 60 Minute Kids’ Club. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Park Board employee facing fraud charges Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Cultus Lake Park Board’s manager of financial services, who was placed on forced leave and is facing fraud charges, allegedly misrepresented his professional credentials, says a concerned resident. Cultus Lake leaseholder Rick Williamson said email correspondence regularly sent out by Siamak Saidi on behalf of the Park Board indicated he was a chartered accountant (CA), as well as chartered management accountant (CMA).
But Chartered Management Accountants B.C. spokesman Rick Lightheart told The Progress that Saidi was never qualified to use the designation of CMA. “When I was advised that this individual was using the CMA designation, I wrote him a cease and desist letter in late August,” said Lightheart. The letter pointed out that the use of the CMA designation is protected by provincial statute, and only to be used by certified members of the CMABC society. Saidi was only a student member from 2001-02, he added. Last week the Chartered

Accountants of B.C. ran an ad in a Vancouver daily newspaper, saying Saidi could not use his company, Siamak Saidi Limited to conduct public accounting. “Siamak Saidi Ltd. is not and has never been licensed to carry on the practice of public accounting in British Columbia,” the ad reads. “As such Siamak Saidi Ltd. is not entitled to use the designation ‘Chartered Accountant’ or used the initials ‘CA’ signifying that designation, and Siamak Saidi, CA is not authorized to carry on the practice of public accounting at or in association with Siamak Saidi

Ltd., or otherwise.” Park board chair Sasha Peter refused to say if Saidi is currently on paid or unpaid leave from his position at the Park Board. Last month, Simon Fraser University filed a civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court, alleging he submitted false invoices in his previous job as finance director in the faculty of science at Simon Fraser University. The civil suit states that Saidi’s alleged actions have damaged the university. “Saidi’s wrongful conduct was directed at SFU for the purpose of

Chilliwack Board of Education has requested the Ministry of Education allow the district to operate with six trustees instead of seven for the remainder of the term. After nine months of medical leave, former Board Chair Louise Piper issued her resignation with the board on Aug. 23. Typically the school district would be required to hold a byelection as per section 36 of the school act. (Had Piper waited until 2014 to resign, a byelection would not be required as it would have fallen within an election year.) But because the current board is nearing the end of its term with the next election in November 2014, and because of the costs a byelection would incur, “we are currently in correspondence with Minister of Education Peter Fassbender requesting the extraordinary circumstances of our school district be considered,” said Board Chair Walt Krahn. “The rationale behind that is we are very close to the end of this term … we also are so very, very aware of costs, we want to avoid the cost of conducting a byelection.” Krahn would not go into specifics of how much a byelection would cost as it will be discussed at the public board meeting Tuesday evening. The Chilliwack board has been operating unofficially with six trustees since last December when Piper first took medical leave. And while the workload has increased significantly, Krahn is confident district operations will not be impeded if the board is allowed to continue as is.

MMBC gives cities more time to decide recycling role Black Press The new agency in charge of a producer-pay recycling system coming for all packaging and printed paper is now pledging to give cities more time to decide how they’ll participate. Multi Material BC had come under fire from civic leaders who are protesting what they call unreasonable terms for their cities to act as curbside recycling collectors when the new system launches next spring. Much criticism centred on a Sept. 16 deadline for cities to either commit to a contract to be a collector for MMBC, let the agency contract out blue box pickup to other collectors or else keep running recycling services without compensation from
MMBC. MMBC managing director Allen Langdon said Friday that deadline only applies for cities that want to be contractors when the rollout takes place in May of 2014, while ones that take more time can still join later. “Some municipalities say they want more time to evaluate the offer,” Langdon said. “We’re leaving it open-ended. They need more time, so we’re giving them more time.” The provincially mandated program aims to make retailers, goods producers and newspapers that generate waste packaging and printed paper responsible for its collection and recycling. Rather than replicate existing municipal recycling pickup systems, it was expected MMBC would pay cities to handle single-
family residential collection. But several mayors say the payments MMBC has offered cities is too low. Cities fear they’ll lose money and that their residents may end up paying twice to support recycling – once through their taxes and then again in stores as MMBC member retailers pass on their costs through higher prices. Municipal leaders also warn the new MMBC system may mean worse service – MMBC could, for example, arbitrarily switch to less frequent pickup – and there are doubts as to whether recycling rates will improve or that producers will be motivated to use less packaging. Vancouver council voted Thursday to indicate it wants to provide recycling services under
a contract to MMBC, but “subject to negotiation of a mutually agreeable contractual and financial arrangement.” Vancouver’s city manager and city engineer said they “cannot responsibly recommend signing” MMBC’s current offer, estimating the city would be short at least $5.3 million per year. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie welcomed the relaxation of the deadline but said MMBC must also show flexibility on terms. “There is a reason to impose deadlines but we don’t need to put ourselves under such pressure to make a deal,” he said. Civic leaders at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention are to debate an emergency resolution on the topic demanding a formal extension and other

It’s the first hotel built from the ground up in Chilliwack in more than two decades. The Hampton Inn by Hilton Chilliwack quietly opened its doors Sept. 13, with 75 rooms to serve both the leisure and corporate markets. They’re serious about delivering service, said spokesperson Patricia Lundquist of the Odessa Group, pointing to the 100 per cent Hampton guarantee and a culture of hospitality they call “Hamptonality.” “There is no other hotel brand that offers complete satisfaction guaranteed,” she said. Not completely happy with your experience? You won’t be forced to pay. “The owners have exceeded all the Hilton standards, from fine finishings down the technical details,” Lundquist said. “They’ve done everything possible to make the customer comfortable.” There are naturally lit meeting spaces with high-tech hookups, and a well-equipped fitness centre. Clean and fresh beds are provided in every room. But the star attraction is likely going to be the huge red water slide leading to the pool. “This is going to be everyone’s favourite room,” Lundquist said about the brightly lit pool area which includes a hot tub. It’s the extra amenities, like a free hot breakfast and highspeed wifi that are unique. For collectors of loyalty points, they also offer both Hilton Honor points as well as Air Miles of various kinds. “It’s like a double dip for
changes. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said the province’s strategy to shift packaging responsibility to industry sounds good in theory but must work in the real world. “If at the end of the day British Columbians have less access to recycling programs, and less waste is diverted from landfills, this policy has not been a success,” he said. “The government needs to step in to ensure this doesn’t happen.” So far the newspaper industry has also balked at joining MMBC, citing differences over its share of the system costs and threatening to create their own newsprint collection system. MMBC wants print publishing firms to indicate by Sept. 20 if they’re in or out.
Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s consultation on liquor reform has begun with a debate about allowing alcoholic beverage sales in grocery stores. “Washington state is the model I favour,” a Lower Mainland resident wrote Monday on the B.C. government’s new consultation website. “No government involvement in retailing – period. Just enforce the legal drinking age.” The B.C. government’s point man on liquor reform, Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap, posted his own comments on the subject Monday. Yap warned that while opening up alcohol sales is a popular suggestion, “it certainly isn’t as straightforward as it may seem.” Yap noted that beer, wine and spirits are already sold in rural grocery stores that are licensed because their service area isn’t big enough to warrant a government retail store. In urban areas, he questioned whether alcoholic beverages should be sold from convenience stores and gas stations, larger grocery stores, or bigbox retailers. “When this topic comes up in my meetings with health, safety and lawand-order advocates, the question will surely become that already we see 30 per cent of late-night attendees at a typical B.C. emergency department report alcohol consumption in the six hours prior to their injury or illness,” Yap said. “If we make it more available for the sake of convenience, will we see rates like this rise?”
Patricia Lundquist stands inside the pool room of the new Hampton Inn by Hilton on Lickman Road, north of the highway. The 75-room facility is the first new hotel built in Chilliwack in 20 years.
points, so people aren’t forced to choose.” Even something as seemingly minor as pillow preference is covered to ensure maximum comfort. Will that be feather or polyester? Part of the business and marketing plan of the new hotel is aimed at attracting some of the regional hotel traffic to Chilliwack for sporting events, conferences and more. “When we did our market research, we learned at that time that Chilliwack was losing a significant number of guests to Abbotsford.”

The new Hampton Inn by Hilton property is the first in Chilliwack, and the third Hampton in B.C. There are 40 across Canada, and 1,700 Hampton properties in the U.S. It’s surprisingly serene at the Chilliwack site, set back from the roadway the way it is. Although it’s located in an area with several industrial neighbours and some well-used train tracks, it’s still quiet. Several trees were maintained during the land-clearing process, contributing to the natural setting. The quiet factor was considered during the construction.
“It’s been insulated to the max,” she added. The now completed fourstorey hotel is phase one of the development. Phase II, which should start next spring, will see commercial tenants, some with drive-throughs, leasing the front portion of the site, known as 1080. There’s about 30,000 square feet of retail/commercial space available. The grand opening of the Hampton Inn by Hilton Chilliwack is slated for Oct. 4. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

causing harm and loss to SFU or to gain improper personal benefit for himself or for others as directed by him, and with the knowledge of Saidi that his actions would, or would likely, cause harm to SFU.” The university is seeking total compensation of $846,926. An order has been granted to freeze Saidi’s assets, including the three properties in question. An RCMP investigation led to Saidi being charged earlier this month with fraud over $5,000, theft over $5,000, forgery and using a forged document. In light of the allegations, which have not been proven in court, Cultus Lake Park Board issued a statement saying nothing was amiss at Cultus Lake Park in terms of the financials. “Staff of Cultus Lake Park have completed a thorough review of all accounts and investments. No unauthorized financial transactions have been observed,” reads a statement posted on the park board website. But Williamson says that’s not enough. He said the park board has ample cause for dismissal. Peters said he won’t comment on the matter while it remains before the courts. “Anything material to the public interest on the matter will be disclosed in media releases in a timely manner,” he added.

Going local with Field to Fork Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Local food products often end up on perfectly presented plates in the higher-end restaurants in Vancouver. But hometown restaurants rarely take the trouble to trumpet the glory of these premium local ingredients. Cash Mob Chilliwack is launching ‘Field to Fork’ Tuesday at four Chilliwack restaurants to keep diners shopping locally, and putting the emphasis on local products. Each restaurant will feature a special Field to Fork menu item, whimsically described on the Cash Mob Facebook page as “local plenty for about twenty� from local producers. Participating restos include Bravo and Bozzini’s on Yale Road, Jacksons on Vedder Road and Lakeside Beach Club at Cultus Lake. The idea is simple, say Cash Mob founders and organizers Scott McVetty and Dale Johanson. Chilliwack has some outstanding restaurants, but some people instinctively head out to Vancouver to dine. Field to Fork, from Sept. 17 to Sept. 30, is a new and different way to continue on the tradition of “flash mobbing� Chilliwack businesses with about $20 apiece.
Autumn Harvest L to R: Cash Mob’s Dale Johanson, with restaurateurs Alicia Bodaly and Jeff Massey from Lakeside Beach Club, and Scott McVetty of Cash Mob Chilliwack, sampling the seared steelhead on corn chowder with smoked bacon for Field to Fork
“We keep evolving but as usual Cash Mob handles no cash and earns no money,� said Johanson. “We’re not a business, so there’s no trademark on the name. We’re just a couple of guys. Anyone can do this with a bit of creativity.� The goal is purely to promote local ventures because the organizers live and work in Chilliwack. “There is lots of good, local food here. People and chefs in Vancouver are clamouring for it,� said McVetty. Cash Mob manages with support of local media and some
loyal participants who believe in the cause. “But the core philosophy is not just about shopping local, it’s about the sustainability of shopping local,� said Johanson. Local eateries will be developing special menu offerings inspired by ingredients from local companies and producers such as: The Town Butcher, Polderside Farms, Sparkes Corn, Meadow Valley Meats and Johnston Packers.

ing as though a belt were cinching it tighter and tighter, the words flowed out of her. Started out with a pulse, got to blood work, then came dizziness and seizures… She wasn’t sure where the music would take her, but she knew exactly who it was for: All the children who have, or are suffering, at the hands of cancer. Last week, after learning that LileeJean Putt had succumbed to brain cancer, Ladouceur, a Grade 12 student at Chilliwack Secondary, started thinking about the two-year-old, who “didn’t even get to live out her life,” and the hurt her family, friends, and the community at large was going through. “I started to think about how I’d feel if someone so close to me would have passed from cancer, especially someone so young,” she said. “It would really hurt.”
Introducing Sarah Mouritzen Branch Manager Paul Donaldson welcomes Sarah Mouritzen to Odlum Brown Chilliwack.
Ladouceur wanted to do something to help quell the pain, to let people know they weren’t alone – which is how her song Fearless came to be. “I really wanted to be able to touch people’s hearts,” she said. “I wanted to open people’s minds up, make people feel like they will never fight alone.” The 16-year-old sings about the effects of cancer, the unfairness of cancer, the strength of its victims. All the time I asked why. I’m so young and innocent. I don’t know why it’s happening to me, oh so fast… She isn’t looking for fame, isn’t looking for money, she’s just looking to help mend Chilliwack’s broken heart. “So many things have happened this past year, so many young people passing,” she said. “Suicides, bullying, cancer… it’s just all so emotional.” I’m so fearless. Ladouceur’s song can be heard on the website http://soundcloud.com/beccaaanne-jacqueline-ladouceur/fearless-rebeccaladouceur/s-gst1R kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

INPUT from page 3 The government is inviting public comments until Oct. 31 at the website, www.gov. bc.ca/liquorpolicyreview. The site also lists submissions from health care, police and alcoholic beverage industry representatives. The current review continues a remake of B.C. liquor policy that began in 2002. When the consultation was launched in August, Yap said licenses for serving craft beer or local wine at farmers’ markets would be considered. Pubs also want to allow under-aged children in with their parents for lunch, putting them on a level playing field with licensed restaurants.

Recycling mess needs fixing
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
How kind that the industry group Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC) is willing to give municipalities a few extra days to consider its proposal for picking up our cans, bottles and papers on their behalf. (See story, page 3.) While the idea of the producers paying for recycling packaging and printed paper makes sense, the way this program appears to have been handled is shocking, to say the least. Among the many problems that local mayors have identified are a take-it-orleave it policy on accepting the terms; lower than practical contamination rates that could cost taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars; and low-balled fees for collecting the stuff via existing blue boxes and cart pick-up programs. Many cities were left scratching their heads when the producers group set a Sept. 16 deadline for accepting its terms (that date is now open ended for those needing time to consider), and offering a program that was less flexible than the existing, more or less successful, system. Here’s how it was supposed to work: MMBC would pay cities to collect the recyclables instead of replacing the existing system. Cities would be reasonably compensated and the program could go ahead without taxpayers subsidizing the program. At the same time, producers would add the cost of recycling to the goods paid for at the till. Now, with the program in jeopardy, some cities may be opting out, which means consumers could pay twice: at the till and through their property taxes. More negotiation is clearly needed to sort this out and the province may have to step in to make sure any new producers-pay model is fair to all. In the meantime, cities need to do a better job explaining how to keep contaminants out of the recycling system and to show how taxpayers end up paying extra for putting non-recyclable stuff in their blue boxes and carts. Many people are still not on board with recycling, resent the imposition on their daily lives and do the job half-heartedly while others fill up their blue boxes properly and have leftovers with no place to store them. If people understood the value of recycling, they may be more inclined to participate properly. But if the producers do their job grudgingly, then how can we expect consumers to do theirs with care? ~ Black Press
L OCALLY G LOBAL
New Quebec charter shows ‘blatant intolerance’ Quebec’s proposed charter of values is a total move in the wrong direction. The charter was announced last week to a very short-lived fanfare that has been drowned in a howl of protest coast to coast. The charter sets out to ban the wearing of religious symbols for anyone employed by the Quebec provincial government. Civil servants from teachers to provincial court judges, police, workers in health care and day care, universities and municipalities will be barred from wearing the hijab, turban, kippah (yarmulke), burka, or any notably visible crucifix or religious symbol while on the job. Those providing and receiving government ser vices will have to uncover their faces and the charter will ratchet down Quebec’s human rights’ legislation to limit a person’s claim on religious accommodation.
But all those religious symbols and elements in the Quebec legislature, on Mount Royal in Montreal, and all the faith-based geographical saintly names remain. How hypocritical is that? The charter gives privilege to Quebec’s Christian (aka Roman Catholic) symbols and Margaret heritage at the EVANS expense of the visible symbols of all demographic/ethnic people living in the province. Where in Canada has any level of government tried to introduce anything like this? A Parti Quebecois strategist might think this is a great way to uptick the PQ’s minority standing. But in the long term the
province could become a big loser as ethnic Canadians move to more friendly parts of the country where what they wear doesn’t upstage their skills and working abilities. The federal government as well as the Opposition NDP party and the Liberal party all denounced the proposed charter. It was a rare moment of collective outrage. The leaders all saw that the document is nothing more than legalized discrimination and will trample the rights of individuals to work. The Harper government said it will mount a legal challenge if it actually becomes law. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said that Premier Pauline Marois did not speak for all Quebecers when she floated the idea of forcing people to choose between their work and their religion. This charter takes the province a monumental step backward in setting

up second-class Quebecers who would not qualify to work in public institutions because of their beliefs and customs. Bloc Quebecois MP Maria Mourani, elected in the riding of Ahuntsic, was expelled from caucus after she spoke out against the charter. She promptly quit the Bloc to sit as an independent, which dropped the Bloc’s seats in the House of Parliament from five to four. This is crass political gameplaying. Bernard Drainville, minister for democratic institutions and active citizenship had the gall to suggest politicians in the rest of Canada are too timid and lack the courage to do what he is doing. Really? Maybe, Mr. Drainville, politicians in the rest of Canada would never contemplate such a move. Premier Christie Clark was quick to invite anyone in Quebec offended by this proposed char-
ter to relocate to B.C. where they would be welcomed. Should this become law, Quebec will amend its provincial Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. But that won’t upstage the rule of law under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which gives all Canadians the right to the freedom of religion, expression and association. Premier Marois and Minister Drainville’s are using “neutrality” as their sales pitch. A better phrase for this charter would be blatant intolerance. Quebec’s economy is the worst in Canada. Is this charter Marois’ diversion tactic? The minority BQ party would do well to really reconsider this divisive move and think ahead as to where this offensive piece of legislation may take them in the future. Nowhere of value, that’s for sure.

Consumers asked to support wild salmon Open-net salmon farms raising Atlantic salmon were introduced to BC in the 1970s. These farms have long been recognized as a threat to wild BC salmon. Yet despite a 2007 BC Special Committee recommendation that “A rapid, phased transition to ocean-based closed containment begin immediately”, and despite the finding of the federal 2009 Cohen Commission that “the potential harm posed to Fraser River sockeye salmon from salmon farms is serious or irreversible”, no level of government has issued any plan to deal with the threat of opennet salmon farms in BC waters. The 2013 Fraser sockeye run is estimated at a shocking two million fish. Making matters worse is the added threat of warming weath-
er – hence warming waters. All species of salmon are harmed by warm waters. Looking at the current sockeye runs, DFO estimates 70 per cent will die before they spawn. That leaves only 600,000 to spawn this year. And we thought 2009 was bad! Wild BC salmon are in trouble. What can you do? One action is to make educated purchasing choices by looking for SeaChoice labels. SeaChoice guidelines place seafood into three categories: Green = Best Choice; Yellow = Some Concerns; Red = Avoid. Open-net farmed salmon fall into that red category. Avoid! The Overwaitea Food Group (PriceSmart, Save-On, Coopers, and Overwaitea Foods) got on-
board with SeaChoice in 2010 and removed open-net farmed salmon from their shelves in 2012. Recently Safeway has committed to remove all SeaChoice red-labelled products from their shelves by 2015. Wild Pacific salmon are a source of pride in BC, as evidenced by their designation as BC’s official fish. They provide myriad benefits that can never be duplicated by any sort of salmon farm. Show support for wild Pacific salmon by looking for those SeaChoice labels, commending those stores that do not sell open-net farmed salmon and encouraging the rest to follow suit.

Charities need to watch their spending I am tired of giving money to charities that waste it! I am going to stop giving to any one that sends me items I don’t need. I just received a page of 98 address labels. I already have a drawer full of address labels I’ve received over the last five or six years.
One of these charities just sent me a nickel. Why did I send them money to begin with? How many more contributions like mine did it take to give away all those nickels? Mail outs cost money. Even more money when they include those useless items. I even receive letters, with return enve-
lopes included, when I have donated on line. It just makes no sense. The latest request for money to support their cause came with six Christmas cards, a sheet of stickers and gift tags, and a pen. I will drop these items off at one of our local charities but, you can be sure, I won’t
be using the pen to sign a cheque for that charity. I wish I could see some evidence that donations are used effectively. So this is a notice to all those charities. You won’t hear from me again after I see that you have money to waste. Because, I Don’t!! Marjorie Lewis

FORK from page 5 Sourcing good quality ingredients is hard work, said Lakeside Beach Club co-owner Jeff Massey, because “good food is hard work.� It can mean six or seven trips to various suppliers but their focus at the Abbotsford outlet, Restaurant 62, has always been on going local as much as possible, said Lakeside co-owner Alicia Bodaly. “It’s appreciating food as it should be,� she said. “That’s always been our core focus from the beginning. So this event is a perfect fit.� The Field to Fork initiative from Cash Mob is “commendable� since it allows Chilliwack to put the emphasis on the food resources and local growers that it has at its doorstop, which shrinks the distance that food has to travel. “Chilliwack needs this,� Massey said. “It’s about sourcing good ingredients, treating them simply, and highlighting their natural flavours.� Lakeside will be offering a seared steelhead salmon filet over some corn chowder made with Sparkes corn and smoked bacon produced by the Goertzens of Sundance Farms for Johnston Packers.

Isadore Charters, member of the Soowahlie First Nations, has spent 10 months carving a seven-foot healing pole to serve as reconciliation for his years of suffering and shame at the hands of residential school. Charters pole, which features several components, including a bear’s head, a star, a mother figure wrapped in a traditional blanket, and a nun, will be on display at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission being held this week from Sept. 18-22 at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver. JENNA HAUCK/PROGRESS
Healing the hurts of residential schools Katie Bartel The Progress For 10 months Isadore Charters has been chipping away at the pains of his history. He’s not the only one. When Charters started carving his healing pole last fall, he didn’t want it to be exclusive of his hands. And so, he took his seven-foot, yellow cedarwood pole to schools, churches, and other such community facilities around the Lower Mainland. In front of audiences, young and old, he told his story as he carved a face here, a paw there. He invited those listening to join him in the carving journey. “We carved together to help build a reconciliation together,” said Charters, member of Soowahlie First Nations. “Hundreds of people have helped me chip away and nurture healing.” The pole, now near completion, will be on display at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Vancouver from Sept. 18 to 21. The TRC is leading a movement intend-
ed to uncover the truths of residential schools, and shape healing and reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. Charters, 65, is sharing his story. “My story is about setting history straight,” he said. “It’s about bringing Yummo home.” When Charters was six years old, he was corralled into the back of an old farm truck with several other children from the community. Confused and crying, he watched his parents frantically waving as the truck pulled away, transporting him 80 km from his home to a residential school in Kamloops. There, he was separated from his siblings, was given an identification number, new clothes, and his hair was cut into a “G.I. Joe” buzz cut. And the only name he knew – Yummo – was taken from him. “My kid name was never spoken again,” said Charters. “They took my identity away, my language, my traditions, my cultures.” They took his dignity too. Charters was molested at the hands of
school officials. He went from a cheerful, happy go-lucky child, to an introvert who picked fights with his peers. He started drinking at the age of 11 and continued for three decades. “I was lonely, I was angry, I was drawing really horrible pictures with knives, blood, gore, snakes coming out of mouths, mayhem,” said Charters. “I was expressing my hurts.” It wasn’t until Charters started attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings that he began to toil with the idea of healing. He hopes his pole will complete that journey. The pole, carved from yellow cedarwood that’s more than 200 years old, has the head of a black bear cub at the top, signifying the “Creator’s” presence, and a star carved into the neck indicating the bear is a brother who’s come to protect them. Inside the ears of the bear is a girl and a boy to show pureness and innocence. There’s a nun carved inside one paw, in memory of the sister he trusted, and the other paw a raccoon with a black mask to
signify Zorro. “When I was a little boy there were no folklore heroes for us to latch on to until Zorro came along” said Charters. “He never hurt our people.” Below the bear is a mother figure wrapped in a blanket representing a nurturing force. Coincidentally, at 5’2, she is the same height Charters’ own mother stood at. “My mom was very nurturing,” he said. “She taught us a lot about our culture.” Following Charters’ presentation at TRC later this month, which will also feature a 28-minute documentary (www.outreach.ca/ yummo), the healing pole will permanently reside at the location of his former residential school in Kamloops. “It will end back where it started,” said Charters. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission is at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver from Sept. 18-21.

Kicking back in your cave By Kerry Vital
When it comes to having a place to relax, a man cave might be the perfect option.
Everyone needs a place to escape from the vagaries of everyday life. For some it’s a garden or a soothing hot bath. For others, it’s the “no girls allowed� space called the man cave. “A man cave is mainly for sitting, watching and eating,� says James Angus, Lower Mainland director of stores for The Brick Group. “The more seats, the better.� Thus, perhaps it’s best to start

Easy Season: Fall gardening spells success Scrumptious, healthy veggies, hefty harvests and a break on your grocery bill many appealing advantages draw people to growing their own vegetables. If you’ve never gardened before or you’re a green thumbed, gardenguru, you’ll soon figure out that fall’s a great time to get growing your own produce. Cooler temperatures and milder sun can spell success for any gardener who takes up the trowel as autumn approaches. Favorable fall conditions mean growing cool weather crops is comparatively easy, with less watering and care needed for a successful garden. Cool crops will start out strong, growing quickly and then slow their growth as days become shorter and cooler. You’ll also need to work less to protect your garden from pests, as both insects and animal populations will taper off in fall. And since weeds

will germinate less frequently and grow slower, weeding won’t be a time-consuming task. Finally, more rain and less sun and heat mean you’ll need to water less. If you’re ready for gardening success, now is the time to grab that hoe, break some ground and get growing. Tips to get you started: Pick your plants Start with transplants, rather than seed. A shorter, gentler growing season means you need to get started right away. Many local garden centers will have a selection of transplants from producers like Bonnie Plants that will grow well in your geographic region. Transplants will be six weeks old and give you a jump start. You’ll be able to harvest sooner than if you start from
Summer has ended and fall will soon be well-entrenched. With the change of season comes the holidays, new colours and new decor ideas that suit any budget or taste. “The biggest trends for home decor in the fall are the colours and shades,� says Ikea Canada’s Alicia Zoffranieri. “The most popular shades during the fall season and around Thanksgiving are earth tones, such as chocolate brown, grey, black or cream.� Pier 1 Imports in-house stylist Aimee Beatty agrees, noting, “It’s all about colour, specifically jewel tones in rich textures and distinctive silhouettes.� Among the luxurious colours will be deep purples, red and blues, along with nature themes. “We’ve brought the outdoors in with decor and accessories inspired by nature’s beauty and woodland creatures,� Beatty says. “You’ll see a lot of vibrant orange or green, and dark lilac or dark blue at Ikea,� Zoffranieri says. “Also trendy this year are patterns with elements of nature, such as trees or leaves.� Bouclair Home is also focusing on earth tones for Thanksgiving, including beige and orange.

Interior design should suit your individual style, not trends By Nicolle Hodges When Tom Bakker’s clients ask him about what’s “new and upcoming,” he asks them how deep their wallet is, “because you will have to do what Paris tells you.” When it comes to Tom Bakker Design Ltd., he says he’s opposed to following trends. Instead, he advises to do what is timeless, because timeless is not trend-sensitive and is cost-efficient. “Quality, expertise and attention to detail surpass trends,” says Bakker, who doesn’t believe in following what “everyone else is doing.” Instead, Bakker stresses that “it’s about customizing the client’s needs, wants and desires,” and whether a client’s style is contemporary or traditional, or he is designing a house in the mountains or on the coast, it’s about the search for “quality and creativity.” When Bakker is designing the interior of a home, he finds its design direction by listening to his clients and creating a home that nurtures them; something he says is “often overlooked” in the industry. “The trend that everyone should be concerned about is not colours or tiles, it’s
about the client and who they are, what they want, what their dream is,” says Bakker. “It’s not about seeing something on T.V and just hanging a new curtain up.” While interior designer Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design would tend to agree that trends “come and go,” she says it’s also about creating longevity with a classic neutral backdrop, and then incorporating accents and items that are easily changed out. Gallop foresees yellow as a popular accent colour for 2014, as well as glass and reflective materials, and spaces that embody warmth and comfort, while remaining elegant. As with all trends, they pass, and often quite quickly. In that case, Gallop suggests that people base their design decisions on how long they plan on living in that particular space. “With a short-term stay it’s important to consider resale and choosing materials and finishes that will appeal to a greater range of people,” explains Gallop. “If they plan to stay in the home for a long time it’s not a major concern to do something that is super customized to their own lifestyle or taste.”
A new year brings new trends and new styles, whether it’s in interior design or clothing. However, designing with your own personal style in mind, whether it’s a retro look in your kitchen, right, or a cozy living area with space to entertain, below, will last longer than following every new trend.

“ from page.15 seed and skip the volatile, sometimes unsuccessful, seed-starting process. Bonnie’s transplants come in earth-friendly biodegradable pots, making planting easy, preventing transplant shock and sparing the use of much plastic. As the pot biodegrades, it’ll add nutrients to your soil, too. Choose cool crops that your family likes to eat. -Popular fall favorites include: * Lacinato kale -A cold-hardy vegetable, kale leaves sweeten after frost. Kale is a super food, and Lacinato leaves extend excellent health benefits, lowering cholesterol, fighting cancer and decreasing inflammation. * Early dividend broccoli - Many greens love the fall, and broccoli is no exception. Plant stalks 18 inches apart and get ready for an easy, hearty harvest. Broccoli is high in fiber and calcium. * Cabbage - The quintessential fall vegetable, Bonnie’s hybrid cabbage grows large, round blue-green heads. From salads to stews, cabbage adds a punch of flavor and nutrients like beta-carotene, vitamins C and K, and plenty of fiber. * Romaine lettuce - Romaine packs a big punch with more vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytonutrients than other popular types of lettuce. Rich in fiber, vitamin C and betacarotene, romaine is especially good for heart health. Space transplants 18 inches apart.

Spruce Up Your Territory

Once you know what you’ll be planting, it’s time to get the ground ready. Remove any garden debris from the past season’s garden and remove weeds before they go to seed. Size up your soil. Loosen compacted soil, fluffing it up with a garden fork. Soil test and amend if necessary. Adding a 2-inch layer of bagged compost is always good practice. You can also spread a balanced fertilizer, according to labeled instructions, for added nutrients. Plants will need an inch of moisture per week, either through rain or supplemental watering. You might want to consider raised bed planting; beds are easy to build or buy and allow you to start out with good quality soil. Plus, you’ll bend less come harvest time. Position your plot and let the sunshine in.Most vegetables need full sun - at least six hours per day. Finally, don’t fear frost. When frost threatens, cover plants with floating row cover, cold frame or a cloche. Or, you can grow fall veggies in a container and move pots to a protected location on frosty nights. Whether you’re working in the backyard, a raised bed or in containers on a deck, you’ll see how easy and successful fall planting can be. Start now to ensure you enjoy a healthy, plentiful and fulfilling fall harvest. For more tips on fall gardening visit www.bonnieplants. com.

bronze and copper, as well as chevron patterns. All of these colours are ones they see continuing into the winter season as well. Gathering your own leaves to decorate the Thanksgiving table can be a great activity for kids and adults alike. Hitting your local park and choosing the perfect leaves to make a centrepiece (perhaps mixed with some feathers, chestnuts or acorns) can become a family tradition. Just make sure to give them a rinse first to remove any bugs or dirt. Another great idea for the kids is to unroll a length of butcher paper on the table, provide some coloured pencils or crayons, and let them go to town making a tablecloth or placemats. The grocery store can also be a good source for decorations, including fall flowers (your local market will be able to advise on what’s growing in your area), pumpkins and other
gourds. “We’re also seeing unique one-of-a-kind decor as a hit this fall,” says Beatty. “Each piece tells its own story while being part of the bigger style story in the room.” If you’re looking for something a bit more time-consuming, consider taking some tissue paper in your favourite fall colours, wrapping clear glass vases or candleholders and securing the edges of the paper with clear tape to make an elegant addition to your tables or fireplace mantel. Whatever your style or budget, decorating for Thanksgiving doesn’t need to be complicated. A bit of creativity and some inspiration goes a long way towards making your home glow. Spending some time on sites such as Pintrest and Tumblr will garner tons of ideas. Perhaps you’ll become your neighbourhood Martha Stewart!

A man cave is more than a TV room “ from page.15 with your chairs and couches. Angus notes that the two most popular furniture items he sees people purchasing are a recliner and a sectional. “Recliners are terrific these days; they’re so huge and comfortable,” he says. “If it’s just yourself then that’s fine, but you want to have buddies over, so you’ll need more seating.” Sectionals can fit several people on them at once without taking up a ton of space, so Angus says they’re perfect for man caves. However, when you think man cave, you probably think technology. You’d be right. Sean Peever, a member of Best Buy’s Geek Squad, has seen a lot of man caves in his day and he is passionate about the technology that most of them hold. Long gone are the days of a small television in the garage. “There has been a huge change in resolution lately,” Peever says. “4K TVs are really hot right now. It’s four times as much resolution as a 1080p set. That’s a drastic difference.” Many of the televisions installed in man caves these days are 46 inches or larger, Peever notes. However, a television isn’t your only option. “A projector and screen is a great way to go,” says John Penner of Audio Visual Unlimited Langley. “It’s a bigger screen and the picture is super clear. ... You can blow everything else away. It’s something you would want to write home about.” Penner recommends that a homeowner looking for a screen should look at one classified as a “daylight” screen, which will bounce more light back to your eyes and allow for a better viewing experience. “Most man caves are very bright due to ambient light,” he says. “It’s very important to have a bright screen.” When it comes to the projector, you will need to keep that ambient light in mind, so
Penner recommends looking for one with at least 2,000 to 3,000 lumens (a rating for the brightness of the light that is projected, similar to watts in a lightbulb). “3D projectors tend to have the best video processors,” he says. But the visual component isn’t the only important thing. “You’ll miss the entire experience without sound,” Best Buy’s Peever says. “It’s the biggest impact you can make.” He suggests starting with an amplifier and speakers. “I’m not talking about a sound bar or the TV speakers,” he says. “You want to feel like you’re in a theatre ... or in Rogers Arena, and if you don’t have good sound your experience won’t change.” Penner agrees, saying that he recommends homeowners purchase a 7.2 system, with three front speakers and four for the back of the room. The speakers are responsible for the first part of that number, with the remaining 0.2 being two subwoofers. “It depends on the size” of the room, he says, but “you can really play with how the listener receives sound. The more you have, the more you can play with distance.” He cites the example of a plane taking off. With a television speaker you’ll have a single source of sound, while a full surround-sound system will allow you to hear it from all around you. “You can really feel what the director was trying to achieve,” Penner says. The two subwoofers he recommends will pick up the lower register of the sound. “It’s important to have two (subwoofers) to pick up multiple ‘sweet spots’ in the room,” he says. “You don’t typically have just one seat in the room, so you want to reach everyone.
There is a lot more to the perfect man cave than the television. Whether you choose to make a full home theatre, left, or a place to relax with a gaming system and a great stereo, above, you have plenty of options for building your man space. Audio Visual Unlimited Langley photos
Your recliner might be your ‘man cave command centre’ but we can calculate sweet spots for a whole room of people.” However, with all that technology in the room, how are you planning to control it? “You can automatically control the electronics in your home with a home automation system,” Peever says. “You control it from your tablet or phone. Everything from light switches to plugs to the thermostat. It’s really the epic pinnacle of what a man cave should be.” No man cave is complete with some home automation, Penner declares. “It’s an absolute necessity in your cave,” he says. “You can actually run your entire house” off of a single remote. Lighting might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you’re constructing your man cave, but Penner says it is still important.
“It’s best to have three or four light circuits,” he notes. “I recommend having one circuit as sconces on the wall, and pot lights in the ceiling as the second. The third could be another set of pot lights, and the fourth a rope light at the front of the room.” If you’re looking to spend some time doing something other than watching the game, you might consider purchasing a gaming system. “The new gaming systems are going to be huge,” says Peever. “It’s an epic event to have the new PlayStation 4 and XBox One release around the same time.” Both will be released in November. However, neither of those can really be classified as purely a gaming system anymore. “They’re entertainment systems,” Peever says. “It’s a Blu-Ray player, gaming console, DVD player, movie rental service. It’s a great new world.”

Fall lawn tips that keep your yard looking great year-round not only fills in open areas, but it increases grass density to help prevent weeds next year. Loosen and prepare the soil, choose a high quality grass seed and water the area plenty so seeds reach maturity before winter. Trim Fall is a good time to trim trees and shrubbery before the harsh weather of winter hits. Save money with the DIY approach. Don’t be intimidated by chainsaws - because the easy-to-use GreenWorks 40V Brushless Chain Saw uses a rechargeable battery, there’s no gas or oil to mix. No gas means no excessive heat or vibration - the saw runs up to 65 percent cooler and vibrates up to 70 percent less than comparable gas saws. In addition, the innovative brushless motor provides this saw with enough power to cut a cord of wood on a single battery charge. Aerate Aerating your lawn in the fall helps to open compacted soil and break down thatch that built up over the summer. The small soil plugs removed by the aerator loosen the ground so oxygen and water can better reach the grass roots. Aerators are available for rent at most rental stores and the job can typically be done in a few hours, depending on yard size. Mow As the weather cools, grass slowly goes dormant. Before winter hits, continue to mow as needed. When your lawn seems to have almost completely slowed its growth rate, mow one final time for the year, but set your mower at a higher height. This helps keep grass healthy until warm weather returns. Recommended mower heights for a final mow are 2 to 2.5 inches. Rather than retreating from the crisp fall air, use the time to enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature while helping keep your yard looking its best. A few simple steps now will help your lawn look great today and into next year.

Falling temperatures and shorter days don’t mean you can retire from lawn care for the year. In fact, the fall season is a critical time to nourish lawns and care for plants so they can survive winter and emerge even more vibrant when next spring arrives. Before you store your lawn and garden supplies, consider these fall lawn tips that keep your yard looking great year-round: Fertilize Your lawn may not look like it’s doing much above ground during cool months, but below ground root systems continue to grow. That’s why most lawn care professionals recommend fertilizing once or twice in the fall - grass will store and use the extra boost of nutrients throughout winter. Fertilizers high in nitrogen are ideal for fall feedings. Sweep Leaves and other foliage left on the ground can rot and deprive grass and other plants of moisture and sunlight. If you dread raking, a blower/vac is the ideal tool. Go eco-friendly with a rechargeable battery-powered option from Greenworks. With no cords and an easy push start, the innovative 40V Brushless Blower/ Vacuum blows up to 185 mph, plus it can vacuum four bags of leaves on a single charge. Water Watering during fall is important to foster root growth and give plants a healthy drink before winter arrives. If you’re not experiencing at least 1 inch of rainfall a week, supplement with a sprinkler. Continue the same eco-friendly watering strategies you used throughout summer, such as watering in the mornings to reduce evaporation. Seed Have a few sparse areas in your yard? Fall is a great season for grass seed to germinate due to the cool, moist weather. Plus, because most seasonal birds have left, the seed is less vulnerable to being eaten. Over-seeding now

A fast food sensation that has taken Australia and New Zealand by storm, has found its way to Chilliwack. The Noodle Canteen opened its doors just four weeks ago. It’s the second location in the Lower Mainland; the other opened in New Westminster in February. But the restaurants are nothing new on the other side of the world. In New Zealand, for example, there are more than 60 locations. So what’s the buzz? “It’s fast, very fresh, and very delicious,” says owner Emily Cao. The menu items are cooked to order, right before your eyes. They sample the best of Asian flavours, mixed in a medley of fresh meats and vegetables,
and arrayed on a selection of noodles (egg noodle, rice noodle, udon noodles). All the ingredients are natural, with no MSG. The sizzle of the wok is your signal that something good is on the way. But the first challenge is choosing. There are at least 40 items on the menu, everything from Singapore fried noodles (thin rice noodles with roast pork, shrimp, bean shoots, onion, carrots and spring onion in a light curry sauce) to the seafood combination (egg noodles with prawns, calamari, fish cakes, crab meat and fresh vegetables in oyster sauce). In between, you’ll find items like Sambal Chicken, Mongolian Beef and Thai Curry Chicken. Noodles aren’t the only

Still waters may run deep, but the new Shallow Water tropical fish store in Downtown Chilliwack offers a depth of knowledge that is bound to satisfy both the ardent collector and anyone new to the hobby. Although Brian and Michele Brosseau only opened their doors two weeks ago, their experience stretches back 40 years. They have a passion for tropical fish – both fresh water and marine. They don’t sell aquariums, pumps, or some of the other hardware. “We are a specialty tropical fish store,” Brian says simply. “We sell the fish, and all the products needed to take care of the fish.” Brian and Michele are still putting the finishing touches on their Young Road store. Brian built all the shelves himself, and designed the water exchange system that keeps the tanks filled with circulating, filtered water. “The secret to healthy fish,” he confides, “is changing the water regularly.” The tanks are colour coded, indicating where the fresh and saltwater fish reside, as well as where costumers can
find the live plants to populate their underwater worlds. The fish are sourced from locations around the globe. What they don’t have in stock, Brian and Michele can help locate; they’ve already got a list of collectors who have registered special requests, like an ‘elephant nose,’ and a ‘peacock bass.’ Shallow Water offers more than fish. As a past show judge who carries a master breeder award, Brian knows his fish. He’s happy to help anyone new to the hobby. And he’s eager to help collectors find the weird and wonderful species he knows they appreciate. “Collectors are always looking for something new and different,” he says. Shallow Waters carries all the necessary products to keep your fish healthy. That includes food and water treatment supplies. They also carry a selection of live food, perfect for the amphibian collector. Shallow Water is located at 8966 Young Road. For more information, call Brian and Michelle at 604.392.6742.

Huskers hang with Sun
Chilliwack’s Jake Creasy tries to beat a John Barsby (Nanaimo) defender to the edge during a senior football clash Friday afternoon at GW Graham. Facing the top ranked AA team in the province, the Grizzlies lost 61-0. The senior squad opens the regular season Friday night at Abbotsford secondary school. ERIC WELSH/ PROGRESS
Junior Grizzlies clobber Titans GW Graham’s junior varsity football Grizzlies played their final exhibition game last Wednesday, hosting the Kamloops Titans at the school. Coming off back-toback losses to Oregon’s Colton Vikings and a AAA powerhouse from Kelowna, the Grizzlies
rebounded with a 30-0 win. Running back Tristan Davis led the way on offense, carrying eight times for 156 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Jordon Breuker scrambled for a touchdown. Fellow pivot Wyatt Uzick threw a 12 yard
TD toss to Tyler Sprott. Cainen Bergh and Ben Pretty had several tackles each to lead the defence. Defensive linemen Michael Lengert and Vincent Giesbrecht applied constant pressure on the Titans QB. Kicker Spencer Breslin was perfect on
point after attempts while Breuker ran in a pair of two point converts. The Grizzlies open their regular season slate next Wednesday, visiting Rick Hansen secondary. Their home opener is Sept. 27 at Exhibition Stadium.
A Valley Husker team looking for any type of victory got a moral one Saturday, giving the high-powered Okanagan Sun a tough test at Townsend Park Saturday afternoon. The Huskers lost the game 38-17. But considering the score the last time these teams met, they showed they are a much improved team. The Sun smacked the Huskers 65-10 in a week one game in Kelowna, a result that was later turned into a 1-0 Husker win due to a roster irregularity. On Saturday, Chilliwack was right with the Sun up to halftime, trailing 19-10 at the break. A lousy third quarter killed the Huskers, who trailed 33-10 through 45 minutes. But the big picture suggests a team heading in the right direction. The Huskers did some good things offensively. Quarterback Cody Parray had a good day, completing 20 of 32 passes for 159 yards. “He protected the ball well, and he was efficient,” Husker head coach Tyson St. James said of his pivot, who also scrambled four times for 31 yards. Blake Draper proved uncoverable, catching 14 balls for 104 yards to
lead the receivers. “He is coming on to be the player I thought he could be,” St. James said. Husker running backs averaged four yards per carry, led by Ty Derayos, who chewed up 70 yards on 20 rushes. Derayos had Chilliwack’s only offensive touchdown. Kicker Dan Erickson booted a 33 yard field goal, and had a single point off a miss. The other Husker major came from Jerry Sidhu, who returned a fumble 25 yards. Kris Bush had an interception and Hayden Jeffries a quarterback sack as the Huskers held the highpowered Sun offence to 302 net yards. “I feel we’re getting stronger as a D each week, and some of our younger players are starting to respond to the coaching,” St. James said. “Our coverage has been much better, and that’s just players understanding where they are and where they need to be.” Alex Bradley, Lerone Robinson and Tommy Howes had offensive majors for the Sun, who had three field goals as well. The other Sun major came off a blocked punt. Chilliwack visits Langley this weekend.
Chiefs escape Prince George with weekend split
Eric J. Welsh, The Progress The official record shows the BCHL Chilliwack Chiefs going
1-1 on a weekend road trip to Prince George. Not bad. Not great. Most coaches would take a .500 road trip and be happy with it. But the underlying numbers from the PG games tip towards the ugly side. The Chiefs lost 7-1 Friday night, getting out-shot 53-19 in the process. A Jaret Babych tally had them tied 1-1 through 20 minutes, but
PG scored three in the second and three more in the third, ventilating Chiefs stopper Lyndon Stanwood. The 20-year-old netminder was back between the pipes Saturday, and it was largely because of him that Chilliwack escaped with a 2-1 overtime win. “Even in that Friday game, I still think he played decent,” said Chiefs assistant coach Doug Ast. “He kept us in there for a while. As
the breakdowns start to happen and guys get out of position, there’s only so much a goalie can do. But he competed to the end.” The ex-Trail Smoke Eater stopped 42 of 43 shots Saturday to earn first star honours. Carter Cochrane scored in regulation time and Kiefer McNaughton got the OT winner for a Chiefs squad that generated 19 shots on goal. Collectively,
Chilliwack has scored five goals in four regular season games. Ast is confident the offence will come as the skill players get used to the high tempo BCHL game. But the defensive side is cause for concern. “We’re two weekends in and the shot clock trend is awfully high in favour of the other team,” Ast conceded. “I think they weren’t exactly accurate, but at
the same time there’s something to that.” Good news though. The coaching staff has nearly two full weeks to tinker before Chilliwack’s next game. A scheduling quirk has the Chiefs not playing again until Sept. 28, hosting those same Spruce Kings at Prospera Centre. The time off is not likely to be leisurely for the players. “I think it’s a good thing for us the way it’s
worked out, because we need time to grow as a group, fine-tune our structure and continue to work on that defenssive side,” Ast said. “We’ll take this time to get focused, coach and teach and get them paying attention to detail. From the top down, we have to get better in a lot of areas, but I believe we have the guys to do it.” Get more info online at chilliwackchiefs.net and bchl.ca

It is with very heavy hearts we announce the passing of Thomas “Tom” Gauthier, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. Tom was born in Sudbury, Ontario, February 10th, 1956 to Gerard and Jean-Marie Gauthier. Fifth born of nine children, he and his large family made their way across Canada until eventually settling in Chilliwack in summer of 1968. A little over a decade later, Tom met his soon to be wife, Laurel. Tom is survived by his wife, his seven children; Lynn, Sandra (Doug), Georgina (Andy), Melissa, Jordan (Amber), Jeanette (Eddy), Thomas Jr., and their honorary kids, Kyle, Krystal (Sloan), and Johnny. As well as his grandchildren; Kyle, Tyler, Jordan, Justin, Daila, Dearra, Chelsea, Chastiny, Morgan, Atreyu, and Dominic. He is pre-deceased by his daughter, Anne-Jean. Tom was known as a jack of all trades to anyone who was familiar with him. A hard worker throughout his entire life, he did everything he could to provide for his family. He was an outdoorsman through and through. For over twenty years, him and his family lived in Columbia Valley on their farm. This kept them in the environment they love, and allowed their family to grow. A celebration of life is planned for the 21st of September at the Columbia Valley Community Hall. Service will start at 1:00pm and is open to anyone who wishes to pay their respects.
