Chilliwack mom is ‘Mom of the Year’

Susi Vander Wyk earns $100,000 for her charity Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Support from Chilliwack was crucial. Chilliwack mom Susi Vander Wyk was just named winner of Walmart Canada’s 2013 Mom of the Year over the weekend. Her charity of choice, Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Canada, is set to receive the prize money of $100,000. A mom of three, Susi Vander Wyk told The Progress she was “shocked and humbled” at first by the contest nomination last spring by her niece. She became one of 20 semi finalists vying for the honour, attracting vigorous online voting, and then in early August she found out she’d made the cut as one of eight finalists for Mom of the Year. “I’m just so happy for the organization and just so thrilled at the potential of receiving $100,000 for charity,” she told Progress readers when she became a finalist over the summer. The prize money will now go to helping SMA Canada families and the scientific side of things.

Canada Lands promises greenest project ever from single family homes, attached homes, and duplexes, to townhouses, apartments and coach houses. One of the last remnants of the old CFB Chilliwack, the site is on Peach Road near the Vedder River. Related rezoning and OCP bylaws received introduction and first reading at the last council meeting. The CD zone for River’s Edge would give the project a flexible framework for development, “that reinforces the surrounding neighbourhood density and permits further intensification,” according to the staff report. The neighbourhood plan makes it clear that CLC is striving to make River’s Edge its “greenest development to date,” with a 1.4-hectare “Tree Park” dedicated to open green space and “Green Streets” for walking or cycling. Energy efficiency is going to be built in. The plan
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s prime riverfront property that could be transformed into the next master planned neighbourhood in Chilliwack. River’s Edge is a residential development on the Vedder River near the southernmost edge of Chilliwack, proposed by Canada Lands Company and its consulting team. A rezoning hearing is set for Oct. 15, to change the OCP designation from federal, and Vedder River Management Area, to a Comprehensive Development (CD) Area, and to rezone from RSV3 to a CD-24 zone. The plan could see up to a maximum of 350 residential units on the 42-acre site, and the goal is to create a vibrant, complete and walkable community. The housing mix would include everything

Torched playground leaves district $10,000 bill Katie Bartel The Progress A weekend arsonist slapped the Chilliwack school district with $10,000 in damages to Little Mountain elementar y’s playground. The playground’s spinner apparatus was torched on the weekend and was not salvageable.
Although the playground is covered under insurance, through the School Protection Plan, a B.C. government agency, the deductible is $10,000 – almost the cost of the spinner itself. This is the second school playground arson in a month; last month Watson elementary’s playground was also hit at another $10,000 deductible to the school district’s budget.
And because both arsons occurred over the weekend, maintenance crews had to be brought in on overtime to remove the pieces and ensure the area safe for students prior to Monday morning. “Vandalism is a part of doing business unfortunately,” said Gerry Slykhuis, School District 33 secretary treasurer. A lesson the young students at
Little Mountain elementary don’t yet understand. Monday morning students were stunned and upset that someone would purposely damage something they play on, something their school community worked so hard to acquire, said school principal Steve Klassen. “It didn’t make sense to them.” Little Mountain elementar y

classrooms on the west wing. A second full-sized gym was added, as was a new wood and mechanics shop separate from the school. On the outside, $200,000 was put towards upgrading the sports field that “used to be a swamp,” and $100,000 for a new playground. “We didn’t take any shortcuts building this school,” said Campbell, as he showed off the expansive new playground out the back of the school. “There used to be nothing out here, just a gym wall and a slow hill of weeds,” and now, “at 5, 6 p.m. this playground is hopping with kids from the neighbourhood.” Because Unity Christian
is a private school, it didn’t get funding from the government. Every dollar that went into this school was a dollar donated by the community, whether through monetary funds, the sale of townhouses built by Unity Christian’s construction company, or labour. “It takes a community to build a school, especially when we don’t get $3 million from the government,” said Campbell. “This was a massive capital campaign and our community really shone through the process.” Campbell believes the new amenities at the school will also help build the community around Unity Christian, providing the area with a top-
notch playground and sports field, as well as rental opportunities for the gymnasium to be used by churches, tournaments and other such events. Currently there is no church facility in the Eastern Hillsides and the nearest sports field is in Rosedale. “The Eastern Hillsides is growing,” said Campbell. “We hope our [school and its amenities] can be a blessing to our
neighbours.” Like it’s been for the Unity Christian community. “Before, [Unity Christian] was two different campuses that did very little together,” said Campbell. And now, “the community is stronger, enrollment is solid, it’s a beautiful school, and a beautiful place to work in.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Explosion, fires keep firefighters busy The start of Fire Prevention Week in Chilliwack was a busy one for local firefighters. In addition to the demonstration and open houses held to mark the event, the fire department responded to three calls: Two farm fires and one vehicle fire. The vehicle fire, which rocked a downtown neighbourhood at 8 p.m. Saturday and sent one man to hospital, was initially thought to be criminal in nature, said Chilliwack RCMP. The explosion could be felt more than a block away, and debris was spread 30 metres from the incident. When firefighters arrived at the home, located in the 46000 block of Riverside Drive, the lone occupant of the car was lying on the ground outside the vehicle, injured but conscious. He was taken to hospital with minor burns. Chilliwack RCMP evacuated nearby homes as a precaution, and both the bomb squad and the dog unit were called in to help with the investigation. That investigation concluded the explosion was likely caused by a leaking fuel line. When the vehicle was started, vapours from the leak ignited, leading to the explosion. A mechanical inspection has been requested for the vehicle to determine the specific cause of the fire, police say. The two farm fires both had similar origins: overheated silage. The largest of the two occurred just before 2 a.m Sunday in the 11000 block of Jespersen Ave. Spontaneous combustion is being blamed for the blaze, which kept firefighters busy for 12 hours. Four large silage bunkers were burned to the ground, while silage in two other cement bunkers was damaged. The fire did not spread to the cattle barns where over 450 head of cattle were housed. There were no civilian or firefighter injuries. Continued: FIRE/ p10

Mike Campbell didn’t know how Unity Christian school would fare once its pre-kindergarten to Grade 12 programs were all under one roof, but now, after just a few months, he wouldn’t want it any other way. The school’s principal gushed when he described moments he’s captured since the new school’s soft opening last spring: Grade 12 students reading to pre-school children; a Biology 11 class dissecting worms with a Grade 2 class; high school students volunteering time in Kindergarten. “I didn’t know what it would look like at first, but it’s been pretty awesome,” said Campbell. “It’s definitely brought us closer together as a school community.” It’s also brought others into the fold. Just prior to the new school’s official grand opening, last Thursday, Campbell told The Progress how Unity Christian’s enrollment had increased by 60 students from last year putting enrollment at 291. Its capacity is 350 students. New parents were also racing for the last two spots available in Kindergarten. “We have a wait list [for Kindergarten], something we’ve never had before,” said Campbell. “I feel bad having to turn people away, but at the same time, it’s a good problem to have.” The $4.2 million project included an 80,000 square foot expansion with eight new elementary classrooms on the east wing of the school, four new middle school classrooms and four new high school
spent three years fundraising for the playground that was only just installed last year. “In a word, from my perspective, it’s disappointing,” said Klassen. “I know it will get rebuilt, but I don’t want the kids to see that. It’s been such a positive gathering place not only during school hours, but the community really comes in after hours too.”

Website shut down a precautionary step The Progress City of Chilliwack’s website was shut down Friday as a precautionary measure after reports came out that Adobe had been hacked Thursday. A tweet from city hall explained: “The City’s website has been closed down temporarily by our IT department as a precautionary measure. “We’re sorry for any inconvenience.” No worries, said city officials. It was up and running again by Monday morning. “Our website wasn’t compromised but we took it offline right away to ensure that it didn’t happen,” said a communications spokesperson, Jamie Leggatt. City staff were busy taking inventory of their web applications, before bringing the

website back online. The mayor said on Facebook page Life in the ‘Wack that she hoped it would be fixed by later afternoon, and that was what they were shooting for. “The shutdown of our website is a precaution. There was a data breach with the company Adobe and that had the potential to compromise our city data on our server software. “Our staff are working to bring the basic functions of our website up and running hopefully by this afternoon.” Cyber attacks are one of the unfortunate realities of doing business today, according to an online statement by Abobe Chief Security Officer Brad Arkin. “Given the profile and widespread use of many of our products, Adobe has attracted increasing attention from cyber attackers. Very
recently, Adobe’s security team discovered sophisticated attacks on our network, involving the illegal access of customer information as well as source code for numerous Adobe products. We believe these attacks may be related. “Our investigation currently indicates that

Elderberry cohousing the next step for Chilliwack seniors Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A group of baby boomers and active seniors are mapping out a plan for a 50+ housing community in Chilliwack to be known as Elderberry
Commons. It’s a seniors’ cohousing project for those aged 50 to 70 who may be seeking a little “peas and quiet” on the Yarrow Ecovillage site. “We’re now in the early stages of planning,” says project
spokesperson Yonas Jongkind, who has been involved with project management at the Ecovillage. Ecovillage member Michael Hale said Elderberry just seems like a completely logical transition.

Lions International is the largest non-governmental non-proÀt service organization in the world. Sometimes however, some of the good done by Lions goes unnoticed. Today, I would like to tell you about one particular cause that is near and dear to Lions - providing opportunities for the disabled. It is a project of multiple District 19 District H. This district covers clubs in Washington State and British Columbia (of which our club is a member) and supports Camp Horizon. This camp accepts disabled citizens from both countries. During the month of July each year, at which time they run 4 one week camps for people with special needs over the age of 10, with no upper age limit. Our club, as well as the other clubs in Chilliwack, sponsors several campers each year. All maintenance is done by volunteers and Lions from many clubs have put in thousands of hours in maintenance and helping out at summer camp. The camp is fully staffed and has a full program including bowling, a carnival, talent show, dances, arts and crafts, competitive events, an animal farm and nature activities. It has 4 dorms, a 150 seat dining hall, a gym, a recreation hall, a bowling alley, horseshoe pits, children’s play area, campÀre circle, outdoor basketball court, walking trail and more. I had the opportunity last week to meet a person who attended Camp Horizon last year – sponsored by a Lions Club in our zone. This young man had a number of problems and was conÀned to a wheelchair. His worker stated that the camp attributed to his turnaround and was a guest at a Lions meeting this week – without his wheelchair- thanking the Lions for sponsoring his campership.

Michael Hale, along with Corie Robinson (right) and Suzanne Hale, are starting to map out a detailed plan for their own 50+ housing project within the Yarrow Ecovillage called Elderberry Commons. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
busy retirees, they’re also part of a group that’s been looking at the potential for housing, health, fitness, and general wellness at Elderberry. “We have been calling ourselves a group of people who are not quite ready to be seniors. We’re 50- and 60-somethings who really want to remain engaged with community and in their lives.” “So many healthy lifestyle elements are already combined at the Ecovillage, like good, healthy food and strong community, so it makes sense to look at the opportunity to continue to live, work and age in place.” All the typical elements of cohousing will be included in Elderberry Commons, like housing forms built to encourage daily interaction with neighbours,
as well as shared facilities. “What I would like to do is walk out my door into a village square one day,” said Hale. “I’d walk into a café to read a newspaper and socialize.” It will make a nice addition to what’s already there, and Hale can already visualize a typical scene. “Maybe the kid waiting on me in the café, is someone who I watched grow up. Maybe I’d pop over to the deli for lunch. That’s the future I see for me. I don’t need as much space.” It’s a form of intentional community living, but Elderberry will also meet all the basic requirements for accessibility and adaptable standards for aging in place, Jongkind says. Several info sessions about the senior cohousing project were
held over the summer, with some interested seniors in attendance and offering feedback. “One thing that some said they’re looking for is the possibility of renting,” Jongkind says. “A lot of seniors say they don’t want all their savings tied up in their homes.” Next up for any prospective Elderberr y residents are a series of planning workshops facilitated by the Ecovillage architect and cohousing expert, Charles Durrett. They’ll be tackling the nitty gritty of site planning, the common house and private residences at Elderberry, but there are no dates set yet for the workshops.

It will be purpose built housing that specifically seeks to support active aging and healthy seniors’ lifestyles. The existing Groundswell project is multi generational cohousing, and represents the first phase of the Ecovillage, with “a vibrant milieu for young families,” said Hale. Elderberr y represents the next phase at the Ecovillage, and the plan is to have it built by 2015 with room for about 17 seniors’ units. Some of the elder Ecovillage have been mulling over the specialized needs of their golden years. “Peas and quiet,” is how the website describes the atmosphere they’re looking to create with Elderberry. The beauty of the pastoral setting is part of the appeal, along with vegetable garden plots for Ecovillage residents, and larger sections available in a community garden. “The idea here is that when you pass the age of 50, you start to begin to think about the last chapters of your life,” said Hale. He and his wife Suzanne now live in Groundswell co-housing at the Ecovillage, and were one of the founding members. As

Search for a new leader
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
With Adrian Dix now the outgoing NDP leader – the second to resign in less than three years – the search is on to find the Official Opposition’s new leader. Second runner up to Dix in 2011, Juan de Fuca MLA and Langford resident John Horgan is arguably Greater Victoria’s strongest candidate for the top job. A three-term MLA and with a high profile as energy critic and house leader, Horgan is the regions most charismatic probable candidate to lead the NDP. Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming, another three-term veteran, is another viable candidate as education critic, a portfolio fraught with controversy if there ever was one. Other names have also been floated: Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. Although an outside chance, Carole James could take a shot at her old job. During his recent resignation announcement, Dix said this province doesn’t need a “second [B.C.] Liberal party.” It’s advice any leadership candidate should heed. The NDP might be tempted more than ever to fundamentally rewrite party policy and edge toward the political right as a reaction to the party’s election loss, and the earlier round of infighting that led to Carole James stepping down in 2011. The problem with the NDP isn’t its core values and ideology. The problem is the NDP picks its leaders more on party loyalty than who has the spirit and drive to connect with voters. NDP party members and insiders have done a lot of navel gazing this year about their election loss. It’s time for the opposition to refocus and think about what kind of leader it wants to act as a check and counterweight to the Liberals’ economic agenda. – Black Press

Canadians watch as dysfunction in Washington continues How did things get so bad that the standoff between the Democrats and the Republicans in the U.S. over signing the budget bill forced the partial shutdown of the U.S. Government? Republicans refused to sign the budget if President Barack Obama did not delay funding for his health care reforms, a.k.a. Obamacare. Should Canadians care? That depends on how long it lasts and if it keels over October 17th. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law by Obama in 2010 and it represented the biggest overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system since the 1960s. It’s now recognized as Obama’s signature legislation. It was defended as constitutional in 2012 by the U.S. Supreme Court when the Republicans challenged it. And it was a focal point in the last
election campaign, which Obama won decisively. Simply put, the health care plan provides coverage for an estimated 15 per cent of the U.S. population, those who don’t have health coverage and are not covered by programs for the poor and the elderly. The aim is to bring younger, healthier Margaret people into the health insurance EVANS system but, to do that, the law requires all Americans to purchase health insurance with tax credits to ease costs. The system isn’t perfect but it’s better than nothing. But Republicans believe the law puts too many costs on business. And some see it as an intru-
sion into the affairs of private businesses and individuals. But apparently those individuals have other ideas. Last week the health care system went on line with so many people logging on the websites froze. Truth is, this standoff is unraveling the Republican Party itself with the far right extremist Tea Party idealogues standing firm no matter what, even celebrating seeing the government in chaos. These characters have an end game agenda for revolution. However moderate Republicans, at least those with some common sense, recognize that trying to kill Obamacare is the dumbest thing out there. The Republican Party got its face washed in the last election and they could pay dearly in the next if they are perceived as knocking the economy sideways. Watching the U.S. govern-

ment shackled by the unrealistic Republican idealogues, Canadians might wonder if that could happen here. The Canadian system, based on the British system of government, is very different to the American presidential system. So long as the government has the confidence of the House of Parliament, things tick along. When it doesn’t and a budget fails to pass, the PM would have to make the trek to Rideau Hall and ask the Governor General to call a general election. So far, while the shutdown has not yet been an issue to Canada, it could cause some angst if things don’t get resolved, especially as October 17th approaches. That’s the debt ceiling deadline when Congress has to approve a higher limit so government can meet its obligations. If the shutdown delays that needed increase then
the U.S. government will face defaulting on its debt. The consequences could put trade deals on hold and spark another recession. Shutdowns are costly. The last two in 1995 and 1996 cost the U.S. Treasury $1.4 billion over 26 days in backlogged work, inefficiency, uncollected fines and fees, lost productivity to the economy, and lost cashflow in communities where many federal employees live, leading to lost tax revenues. According to a CBS News poll, 72 per cent of Americans disapprove of this shutdown. “It’s ridiculous,” said Michelle Wijesinghe-Lewis who lives in Manhattan. “It’s embarrassing. For all its costs, Obamacare is law. Get over it and pass the budget.” The clock is ticking. And the end game is still not in sight.

Progress PASTA
What does OCP hold for Ryder Lake? A UBC Research Foundation paper has pointed out that B.C. needs to acquire 50 per cent more farmland in the Lower Mainland by 2050, approximately 73,800 ha, to sustain the predicted population. Several papers discuss the importance of food security and the general support of the Agricultural Land Reserve by the population. However, many still view the ALR as an “urban land bank”. Thus, our developing Official Community Plan (OCP) states it has five plans, three of which include the development of Ryder Lake which would mean a loss of almost 1,000 ha of
ALR lands in B.C.’s most favorable growing conditions. Even more than of a surprise than this, is the misleading statement in the 2013 OCP Update background paper that states (pg. 9) that the “residents” of the western end of Ryder Lake want to develop. The paper then goes on to indicate that a boundary change to the Ryder Lake uplands is likely to happen renaming this area “Ryder Lake West”, a new jewel for the development department! Well, oddly enough, we “residents” did not receive a poll about wanting to develop the
WEDNESDAYS 4:00PM - 8:00PM
western edge of Ryder Lake. Nor was this not discussed at the Ryder Lake OCP community consultation meeting. In fact, not a single soul at the meeting stated what a brilliant idea it would be to chip away at the integrity of the Ryder Lake community by removing chunks bit by bit. Still stunned, this makes one wonder what other hugely misleading statements are in print for all to believe in the 2013 OCP Update.

ADRENAL FATIGUE SEMINAR
Teenagers must take responsibility for their actions Re: Parents call for flexibility in punishment policy, Progress, Oct. 1 High school students need to stop acting like the consequences for their actions don’t apply to them. It’s no secret that Sardis Secondary has a zero tolerance policy on drug usage. On the eighth page of the student handbook given to students at the beginning of the school year it clearly states, “Students must not be under the influence or in possession of drugs or alcohol at school
or during any school related event,” and that the consequence for not adhering to this rule is “that the student will lose the opportunity to attend Sardis Secondary School.” In case that’s not enough warning, in the past years Sardis students have witnessed their peers choose to break the rules regarding drugs and alcohol and also face expulsion from the school. So why is it that after fair warning year and again about the consequences for engaging in
drug and alcohol usage during school or school related events, students who get caught are still playing the victim, accusing the admin of removing the problem rather than dealing with it. Sure, writing a speech and performing it in front of the school is an ideal cop out with limited damage to these students’ “top notch” record. But is it really fair to waste the time of the 1,500 other students at Sardis and make them listen to speeches from the soc-
Concert makes the morning What an exquisite sunshiny morning I had on Friday! At 10 a.m. my 101-year-old music-loving friend and I entered the Rotary Hall — dramatically all black except for several round tables clothed in red clustered before a gleaming black grand piano. We could even bring our free coffees and a delicious pastry from Sardis Bakery to our table. And then we were indeed enthralled for the following hour and a half listening to Sarah Hagen on the piano and Ariel Barnes on the cello play selections from Schumann, Shostakovich and Beethoven. The rapport between these two performers and their instruments was carried over to the audience as they dazzled us with their tal-
ent and charmed us with their background introductions to each composer and each selection. At the concert’s end I felt I couldn’t applaud loud enough to show my appreciation to the performers for making me feel so deliriously filled with pleasure and gratitude. As we stepped back out into the sunshine, we both felt incredibly blessed! In November Sarah will be joined by Joan Blackman, a violinist; in February, Benjamin Butterfield, a tenor; and in March, Oto Carrillo. I can’t wait! This incredible concert series needs a good attendance to continue being offered. Come and fill your morning with rapture! Jody Cameron

Your column on “Science is losing ground to superstition” is right on. It’s like a breath of fresh air to have at least one reporter and newspaper refer to facts instead of spouting off the IPCC religion of “Global Warming”. And to top it off, you report on Saint Suzuki’s lack of knowledge uncovered by Australia’s scientific experts in questioning him. Kudos to a report well researched as well as having the “guts” to publish. Time we start to look at facts brought by scientists that are not subject to political pressure or liberal propaganda.

Local First Nations Cheam, Scowlitz, Soowahlie, Boothroyd, Chawathil and Skuppah, are new signees to the First Nations Land Management Regime, announced Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl in a release. And he said he heartily welcomes the news. “Being added to the FNLM regime gives local First Nations greater control over their lands, their economy and their future,” said Strahl, calling it a significant achievement. It enables First Nation laws to manage reserve land, resources and environment under a land code established by a First Nation. It allows participating First Nations to opt out of
the land-related sections of the Indian Act and enact their own laws taking into consideration the development, conservation, use and possession of reserve lands. The local aboriginal and Sto:lo communities signing on are following in the footsteps of others that have written land codes, such as Tzeachten and Squiala. Economic Action Plan 2013 committed $9 million over two years for the expansion of the FNLM Regime to create opportunities for more First Nations to promote greater economic development on reserves. “With this announcement the Government of Canada is delivering on its commitment to provide the opportunity for more First Nations to pursue participation in the FNLM regime,” said Strahl.
Busy weekend for fire crews

FIRE from page 3 Several fire crews were called in to help contain the blaze, with assistance coming from five of the six Chilliwack fire halls, and a water tender from the Popkum Fire Department. A second incident occurred within three blocks of the earlier fire
at around 5 p.m. Sunday. A smoldering fire in a silage bunker was spotted by the farmer during his daily work. Firefighters attended the 48000 block of Camp River Road and overhauled the bunker to extinguish the fire with relative ease. Damage to the bunker was minor. There were no civilian or firefighter injuries.

Marion Claxton holds a photo of her mother, Muriel Carman. This quilt was made by Claxton’s great-grandmother, Isabel Black, and was given to Carman in 1906, then to Claxton in the 1950s, and now Claxton has donated the quilt to the Chilliwack Quilters’ Guild. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Century old handmade quilt on display at guild show Jenna Hauck The Progress At the turn of the 20th century Isabel Black started making a quilt. She gathered bits of multicoloured and textured fabric — from cotton to silk, and corduroy to velvet — and cut the material into hundreds of small diamondshaped pieces, about three inches long. She hand-sewed the pieces together in such a way that when you step back, the quilt looks like a pile of children’s blocks stacked up in the shape of a pyramid. Each block has three sides — two coloured, and one black — and the quilt almost looks like an optical illusion. You don’t know whether the black side of each block is the top edge, or the bottom edge, or
the inside edge, or another edge altogether. Black laboured away at the quilt for years, and in 1906 she gave the quilt to her granddaughter, Muriel Carman, as a wedding gift. Thing is, the quilt was unfinished. It had no back to it, and no batting (cotton padding) in the middle. No matter, thought Carman. As a young 25-year-old she could finish the quilt later. But later never came. After living in many parishes in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the U.S., and busy raising seven children, Carman had no time for quilting so she handed it over to her daughter, Marion Claxton, in the 1950s. “I used to sew my son’s clothes and my own clothes, but I never quilted,” says Claxton.

And so the quilt sat for decades in her house, still unfinished. Now, more than 100 years after it was given away as a wedding present, the quilt has been handed over yet again. This time to a huge family of quilters. Claxton has generously donated the meticulously handmade quilt to the Chilliwack Quilters’ Guild. She decided to give the quilt a new home after receiving a quilted placemat from the CQG with one of her Meals on Wheels dinners. The century-old quilt has been handled a lot. It’s worn in places with small rips along some seams, and a handful of holes in its delicate fabric. “The quilt is far too fragile to be finished,” says Annie Hall, a 15-year member of the CQG. Finished or not, the quilt is a beautiful piece of artwork and will
be on display with 200 other quilted items during the guild’s biannual show on Oct. 18 and 19. The show, Our Quilted Treasures, features mostly quilts, but also pillows, table toppers, tea cozies, and more than 100 ‘We Care’ quilts. The ‘We Care’ quilts are made by members of the CQG and donated to local charities such as Chilliwack Hospice’s Ann Davis Transition House, Chilliwack Community Services, Hope & Area Transition Society, and Sto:lo Health Services. The quilt show features a tea room where visitors can buy sandwiches, snacks, tea and coffee, plus a merchants’ mall with vendors selling sewing and quilting related items. There’s also a large queen-sized quilt, made by five members of the CQG, that will be raffled off that
weekend. The popular and vibrant two-day show always draws a large crowd. “Quilting is not dead,” says Hall. “It’s a flourishing art.” With two guilds in town, the art of quilting is very much alive. The CQG alternates its biannual show with the one put on by the Chilliwack PieceMakers’ Quilting Guild. And even though there are two local guilds — the daytime CQG made up mostly of retirees, and the evening PieceMakers with a younger group of members — “the enthusiasm is the same in both groups,” says Hall. The Chilliwack Quilters’ Guild’s biannual show, Our Quilted Treasures, takes place at Chilliwack Alliance Church on Friday, Oct. 18 from 5 to 8:30 p.m., and Saturday, Oct. 19 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

How to rake leaves more efficiently Raking leaves is a fact of life for many homeowners. Cool autumn weather and less sunlight are signals to certain trees that it is time to shed their leaves. A leafless tree is more capable of conserving energy and riding out the winter successfully. Trees also shed their leaves during periods of drought or if they have produced too many leaves in the summer and need to conserve water.
• Remember to rake downwind. It is a good idea to save raking for a day when it is not too breezy; otherwise, you may end up raking the same spots over and over. Handle small spots at one time and rake the leaves into small piles. Then you can easily transfer the leaves to a tarp or bag and set aside for disposal or deposit them into your compost heap.
For homeowners, fallen leaves can be an unsightly nuisance that can stain concrete and smother lawns, especially when fallen leaves are not promptly removed. Raking is a timely task many homeowners dread. But it is possible to cut down on the time it takes to clear a yard of all those unsightly leaves.
• Invest in a lightweight leaf rake and a good pair of gloves. Being comfortable while doing the work will make it go more smoothly and quickly, and a lightweight rake won’t be too taxing, while gloves will prevent the formation of blisters. In addition, take breaks to rest and recharge.
• Wait for the majority of leaves to drop before beginning your work. If you start too early in the season, you may end up raking multiple times and that is not time-efficient. • Use the technology at your disposal. If the grass is still growing, you can use a mulching mower to take care of some of the leaves. The mower will shred the leaves and create nutrients for the soil and the lawn. However, once the lawn stops growing you do not want to cut it too short. This is when it is time to take out the rake. A composting vacuum and leaf blower are other ways to make quick work of cleaning up leaves. Although these devices may not be as eco-friendly as a rake, they can significantly reduce the time it takes to clear a yard of fallen leaves.
• Move your feet as you rake so your arms and back are not doing all of the work. Think of it as dragging the leaves more so than just shuffling them around. The more leaves you can gather in one pass of the rake, the more quickly the job will go. • Spread the work around. Sharing the task with others certainly cuts down on the time it takes to clear the yard. Have a leafraking party in which members of the household each pitch in before everyone enjoys a well-deserved backyard barbecue. Although raking leaves may not be the average homeowner’s favorite activity, it is a healthy one. Various muscles are worked when raking, which also is a good form of cardiovascular exercise. In fact, a person who weighs 180 pounds can expect to burn more than 350 calories raking leaves for an hour.

Upcycling: turning trash into treasure Blogs, Pintrest and other social media sites are great places to find creative ideas for turning old things into something new and amazing.
By Kerry Vital Everyone has heard the adage “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” This has never been more true with the recent trend to “upcycle”, or turn something that may no longer be useful into
something new. “Upcycling is the act of taking an unused item and literally turning it into an item you will use,” says Amber Bosma, marketing manager for UsedEverywhere. com. “Essentially you take something that’s no longer wanted or needed and turn it into something
fabulous.” Almost anything can be upcycled, from old furniture to clothing to construction materials. “I think the most popular upcycle I’ve seen lately involves pallets,” says Bosma. “I’ve seen pallets turned into garden swings, into bed frames and into beautiful
coffee tables!” Other creative projects include turning old clothing into pillows (or a dog bed for man or woman’s best friend perhaps?), making jars into lanterns or candleholders or updating an old mirror with a new frame or paint.

Upcycling can be as complicated or as simple as your time, budget and skills allow. Plus, it’s kind to the environment as fewer things will be tossed in the trash. This old cabinet was given new life as a bench in an eating nook. Lacey Sheardown photo

Selling your home is an important financial decision that involves complex technical and legal transactions. There is always the possibility of human error, and since real estate errors are often costly, selling your home without the services of a real estate professional can be a risky business. Owners who try to market their own homes are often misled by the false impression that the whole transaction will just naturally fall into place. They place an ad in the paper and put a sign in the front yard. Homes are selling well in our area. How difficult can it be? There is much more to selling (or buying) a home than advertising, and even effective advertising requires some expertise and planning. Running an ad in the paper helps to attract attention to your home, but that’s only the beginning. What happens when buyers start coming to your door asking you questions about your home that you may not be prepared to answer? Buyers are used to asking “How does this home compare to others like it in our area? “How did you determine the fair market value of this property?” “What about financing? “If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?” They could question your reasons for not using a Realtor, suspecting that something is wrong with the property. Real estate professionals are trained to respond to challenging issues raised by serious home shoppers. Realtors do much more than facilitate a transaction. They

share the risks and responsibilities of the transaction with you. They know how to complete necessary documents such as disclosure forms, advising the seller to disclose to avoid the liability of a lawsuit over the condition of the property. They guide you through the complex paperwork all the way to the closing. People (rightly) assume that the typical owner-seller is less market-savvy than an experienced Realtor. Buyers may interpret that “For Sale By Owner” sign as a message that they can expect to pay much less since you are not using professionals to sell your home. A Realtor is also experienced in pre-qualifying buyers and negotiating with people who are hoping to get something for nothing. Despite the influence of the Internet, almost all homes are introduced and sold using a Realtor. If you do make the decision to sell your home, it’s wise to contact a Realtor, who can do a Comparative Market Analysis and provide you with the comfort and security of a licensed professional handling the largest transaction in most people’s lifetime.

This month I’m celebrating 10 years of selling real estate in Chilliwack. I’ve made many new friends and have worked, in some cases, several times for the same clients. When your clients keep coming back, you know you’re doing something right! Here’s what one couple had to say about their latest experience with me: Through the years I have had many friends buy and sell their properties. I am almost to the point of annoyingness when I brag about Tamra and how great she is. She has helped us buy and sell a number of times now; this time was in a rocky market. She knows her stuff; she did her research, priced us right, gave us tools and suggestions.We sold for more than we could have dreamed. She kept us calm, organized, and answered all of our questions and concerns. She is one of the most down to earth people we know. She has a get it done attitude and is always super pleasant and easy to deal with. She is up to date with all the best marketing tools and it feels like she will genuinely do whatever it takes to get your house sold or find you another perfect house. If you want a super motivated, genuine, down to earth realtor,Tamra is your woman!

Long gone are the days of onesize-fits-all kitchen countertops, with your only choice being the colour. Now you can find a wide range of countertop materials and colours to suit your style and budget. Perhaps the most well-known countertop product is laminate. It comes in a huge variety of colours and finishes, and it can be one of the more inexpensive materials, making it a great choice for those on a tighter budget. Another popular countertop right now is quartz, which is one of the hardest minerals in the world. “Because of its durability, consistency and beauty, quartz has really become a popular choice for renovators,” says Shaun Krahn, general manager for Kitchen Craft Cabinetry. Granite is one of the most popular choices right now, as it can withstand heat and other abuse well. No piece is identical to another, which lends texture and interest to your space. Marble, limestone and soapstone are other natural products. All three require a bit more care than granite as they are softer. Because of this, any stone countertop must be sealed. You don’t want to stain your countertop before you’ve really had the chance to enjoy it. A kitchen professional will easily be able to give you advice on sealing your countertops. An engineered stone countertop come in a larger variety of colours than a natural stone material, and is also a bit more hardy. If your

Upcycling kind to Mother Nature and your budget “ from page 15 “That bulky old television cabinet turns into a kid’s play kitchen,” suggests Bosma. “The inherited grandfather clock you don’t like but want to keep becomes a stylish shelf.” If craft projects fill your heart with dread or conjure up some bad memories of school projects, you don’t need to worry. Upcyling doesn’t need to be complicated and it doesn’t have to require unlimited creativity. “Use the Internet to follow upcycling blogs for inspiration,” Bosma says. “For example, the UsedEverywhere.com blog has an upcycling series that shows you items that can be found inexpensively or even for free on our websites and then offers several upcycling options for that item.” Pintrest and Facebook are also a great source for upcycling ideas. “Choose good quality items to upcycle,” says Bosma. “The item itself may be ugly, but what’s important is the quality of the material. An upcycle can be as simple as a lick of paint and new handles or as complicated as your imagination allows.” Upcycled items are more than just unique; they’re also much kinder to the environment. “Why throw it away when it can be reused and given a new lease on life?” says Bosma. “If you love unique pieces of furniture then upcycling is the way to go, plus you get to add your own flair if it’s a do-it-yourself project. And best of all, if you’re like me and you love to bag a bargain, upcycling your own items is much cheaper than buying new.” Suddenly spending weekends scouring garage sales sounds much more appealing! You never know what treasures you’ll find or what will inspire your next project.

604-858-2307 7012 Vedder Rd., Chilliwack
October 6-12, 2013 “Prevent Kitchen Fires” is this year’s theme and the Chilliwack Fire Department would like families to focus on preventing kitchen fires by using a few simple fire safety behaviors in the kitchen. Identifying and eliminating potential fire hazards in your home will prevent or reduce fire related injuries, deaths and property damage. Eighty (80%) of fires in Chilliwack occur in the home and a majority of these fires start in the kitchen.
We encourage everyone to be able to identify and prevent potential fire hazards and be prepared to safely evacuate your home if a fire does occur. Fire prevention information and tips can be found on our web site at www. chilliwack.com/fire, or contact us at 604-792-8713. Fire safety is everyone’s responsibility so let’s work together to continue to make Chilliwack a fire-safe community.
Community Fire Drill WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9 @ 6:30PM When you hear the fire truck siren, test your smoke alarm and practice your home escape plan. For more information on the fire prevention activities, contact us at 604-792-8713.

What the charity tries to offer is “a balm” for the shattered families. “Because they feel lost at first. “But what we do is show that someone out there has their back when times are tough, which they are from the start.

Chiefs run over by Coquitlam Express If it’s true that things are always darkest before the sun rises, that a team needs to hit rock bottom before it can start heading up, then maybe there’s hope for the Chilliwack Chiefs. If they’re not at rock bottom yet, they’re very close after back-to-back losses to the Coquitlam Express. A weekend homeand-home star ted Friday night in Coquitlam with a 5-2 loss. It ended with a thud Saturday as the Express came into Prospera Centre and laid a 9-4 beating on the home team. The Chiefs are now 1-6-1. “I thought we were making some headway, but we really struggled defensively today,” Chilliwack head coach Harvey Smyl said afterwards. “We struggled in a lot of areas. It was a tough game for pretty much everyone.” Saturday’s game was actually worse than the final score indicates. The Chiefs trailed 9-2 at one point, before late goals by Andrew Silard and Kurt Black made the final score... well, not sure what word to use here. Chilliwack native Josh Halpenny got the start in goal, but barely lasted half a period. He gave up two goals on six Coquitlam shots before yielding to backup Lyndon Stanwood. Ryan Rosenthal had the Express on the board just 45 seconds in. Adam Rockwood got the assist, wheeling out of the right corner and finding Rosenthal in the high slot. The New Jersey native went upstairs for his sixth of the year. Canon Pieper doubled the Express lead at 12:10. Stanwood fared no better. The ex-Trail Smoke Eater was greeted by a Canon Pieper shorthanded breakaway goal, and Corey Mackin got one at 18:31 to give the Express a 4-1 lead through 20. Rookie Jordan
Kawaguchi had the Chilliwack goal, his first in the BCHL. The onslaught continued in the second period. Austin Plevy scored for Chilliwack, but the Express replied with tallies by Pieper, Rosenthal and Marc Biega to lead 7-2 through 40. Halpenny checked back in for the third period, giving up goals to Matthew BerryLamontagna and Jackson Cressey. Berry-Lamontagna’s was a bizarre one, with the neutral zone dumpin fooling Halpenny and dropping over his shoulder. “You could ask either one of them (Halpenny and Stanwood) and both of them would say they weren’t sharp at all, but they didn’t get a lot of help,” Smyl said. “They’ve been hot and cold all season. The goaltending has to be better, consistently. But in their defence, we left them high and dry a lot trying to play run-andgun.” The Chiefs spent the back half of this game down two defencemen, which didn’t help. Cooper Rush was tossed in the second period after a hit from behind. Eric Roberts left late in the middle frame after taking a puck to the face, leaving Chilliwack to play with four D-men. Jacob Hand moved from forward to D to try and help. “I thought he did a pretty good job filling in for us,” Smyl said. “But no question, playing without Cooper and Eric was tough.” Clearly, Smyl the coach has a lot of work to do. Smyl the general manager may also be busy this week. The BCHL season isn’t very long, and his team is already behind the eight-ball. He could stick with the current roster, hoping the goalies figure it out, the defence tightens up and the forwards start scoring. Or, he could make changes. “We’ve got to do

something with this club, and I don’t know if it starts in net but that’s certainly part of the equation,” he said. “We knew we’d have some battles early in the season, but you want to keep getting better. Tonight it feels like we took a couple strides backwards.” Things don’t get easier this weekend. The Chiefs face a cranky Vernon Vipers squad that is off to a disappointing start. The Vipers host this year’s Royal Bank Cup and are expected to be national championship contenders. But their 4-4-1-2 start leaves them fifth in the six-team Interior conference standings. The Chiefs visit Vernon Friday night and host the Vipers Saturday night at Prospera Centre. The teams met before at September’s BCHL Showcase, playing to a 1-1 draw.
Junior Grizzlies top Timberwolves
GW Graham’s junior football team stayed unbeaten with a 43-20 road win over the Robert Bateman Timberwolves Thursday. It wasn’t the most impressive effort from the 3-0 Grizzlies, but they were never in danger of losing. “We let them have three long touchdowns on basic coverage errors,” said GWG head coach Laurie Smith. “It really wasn’t a great game.”
Those three touchdown passes accounted for all the Timberwolves’ points. The GWG offence alternated between single-wing and spread offence sets, and ran the ball at will. Quarterback Jordan Breuker and starting running back Billy Hanson both topped 100 yards. Tyler Sprott and Emerson Smith came close. Breuker and Hanson had two touchdown runs each, with Sprott also finding the endzone. The Grizzlies had two successful two point converts. Cainen Bergh was the defensive standout. “He is out-of-control
good,” Smith said. “He plays middle linebacker for us, and he’s got that killer instinct that makes him a special player.” Bergh joined the senior team for a game at Bateman on Friday. The result wasn’t nearly as good, with the Grizzlies falling 47-16. “They had one guy (Ben Cummings), on our first punt he took it back to the house,” Smith said. “It just got worse from there.” Cummings carried 26 times for 255 yards, with touchdown runs of 22, 41 and 50 yards. “He was everywhere on the field, just hammering us,” Smith said. “It’s hard to say anyone on our defence played well because we just got
gashed. We got beat deep. Our linebackers were nowhere to be seen. Our contain was non-existent.” Brett Westad led the GWG offence. The running back ground out a little over 100 yards rushing with two touchdowns and two two-point converts. Quarterback Josh Pretty struggled in the passing game, but did some good things on the ground, gaining yards on read-option carries. Friday night finds the juniors hosting the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers at 5 p.m. The senior squad hosts the Langley Saints at 7 p.m. Both games are at Exhibition Stadium.

Loss to Rams ends playoff hopes Sack artist sets new mark
The Chilliwack Huskers ended the 2013 season with a loss, falling 59-24 at home Saturday to the Langley Rams. The Huskers finished with a record of 2-71, good for fifth in the six team BC Football Conference. They finished ahead of Victoria’s Westshore Rebels (2-8), and had the same record as the fourth place Kamloops
Broncos. But Kamloops moves on to the playoffs by virtue of tiebreakers. A slow start found the Huskers down 17-0 to the Rams after one quarter. Chilliwack’s offence roared to life in the second quarter, putting 17 points on the board. But Langley led 38-17 at the break. The Rams piled on the points in the third quarter, building their lead to 52-17 before putting it into cruise control for the fourth quarter. The Husker offence generated a surprising 319 yards of net offence. Ty Derayos led the running backs with 48
yards on 12 carries, and Misha Otanga had 42 yards on six carries. Quarterback Cody Parray did good things through the air, completing 11 of 22 passes with three TDs. In his final BCFC game, the Chilliwack native threw touchdown tosses to Cody Vinnish, Blake Draper and Dylan Boykowich. Parray also threw a pair of interceptions, both returned for Langley majors. Chilliwack’s Evan Foster brought one back 70 yards. Brandon Klein had a 25 yarder. Running back Nathan Lund led the Rams offence, carrying
During Saturday’s game against the Valley Huskers, Chilliwack native Evan Foster set a new BCFC and CJFL single season record for sacks in a season. Foster, a Chilliwack Minor Football product, dropped Husker pivot Cody Parray four times to finish the 2013 campaign with 16 sacks. The Langley Ram averaged a sack-and-a-half per game over the 10 game regular season schedule. He did his best work against Victoria’s Westshore Rebels, dropping their quarterbacks five times. He had four sacks apiece against the Huskers and Nanaimo’s Vancouver Island Raiders. Foster’s Rams visit the Okanagan Sun in playoff action this weekend.
six times for 179 yards and three TDs. His longest run was a 91 yarder. Three Langley quarterbacks combined for a 10-of-17 passing line with three TDs and one interception. Ram receiver Kyle Pich hauled in two touchdown tosses, with Malcolm Williams also finding the endzone. Kris Bush had the Husker interception. Jerry Sidhu led the Chilliwack defence with six solo tackles and Boykowich came up with a big play on special teams, blocking a Langley punt. Kicker Dan Erickson was good on a 28 yard field goal attempt.

Sports Cascades defend PACWest crown The University of the Fraser Valley men’s golf team captured their second straight PACWest golf championship, wrapping up the title at the Chilliwack Golf and County Club. Playing on their home course in the final tournament of the year, the Cascades carded a two-day team score of 563. They beat the Camosun College Chargers by six strokes. The Douglas College Royals were third at 592. UFV’s Connor O’Dell (Maple Ridge) had the weekend’s high score, carding a 135. Camosun’s Jarred Callbeck (Victoria) and TRU’s Brent Pound (Kamloops) finished tied for second with a twoday score of 137. The Cascades won all three PACWest tournaments, finishing the regular season with a team score of 1,717. Led by Chilliwack’s Aaron
Pauls, UFV finished 50 strokes ahead of second place Camosun (1,767). The UBC-O Heat earned the bronze medal with a team score of 1,781. Pauls led the team with a score of 428. Langley’s Darren Whitehouse was close behind at 431. UFV and Camosun receive the two PACWest invitations to the 2013 CCAA Ping National Golf Championship. The year-end tournament will be played Oct. 15-18 at the Royal Quebec Golf Club in Quebec City, Quebec. The Cascades will make their sixth straight appearance at the tourney. They go into it as the third-ranked team in the CCAA top 10 poll. Get more national championship information online at royalquebec. com. Get UFV info online at ufv.ca/ athletics.
UFV adds wrestling team
Dan Kinvig, The Progress There are few cities in Canada where wrestling is more popular than it is in Abbotsford, and the University of the Fraser Valley athletic department is set to capitalize on that. On Monday, the Canada West conference approved the
for Health
Cascades’ bid to add men’s and women’s wrestling to their list of varsity offerings. UFV will begin competing in 2014, and becomes the first B.C. school in Canada West with a wrestling program since Simon Fraser University left to join the NCAA following the 2009-10 season. The other five Canada West wrestling schools are Winnipeg, Alberta, Calgary, Saskatchewan and Regina. “The popularity of wrestling in the Fraser Valley made it a natural fit for us,” Cascades athletic director Rocky Olfert said. “The sport of wrestling opens many doors and opportunities for us in our community.” UFV has had a nonvarsity wrestling club on campus for several years, comprising about 20 athletes.
Olfert said the athletic department and the club have been working together in order to gain Canada West approval. Arjan Bhullar and Raj Virdi have been hired as UFV’s first varsity wrestling coaches. Both were CIS champions during their careers at SFU, and Richmond native Bhullar wrestled at the 2012 London Olympics. “With their background and connection to different wrestling clubs, that leadership is absolutely key for us,” said Olfert, who believes that with a topnotch coaching staff in place and plenty of talent in the region, the Cascades could be a powerhouse in short order. UFV’s addition of another varsity sport is something of an eyebrow-raiser, consid-
ering that as recently as the 2011-12 season, the volleyball, golf and rowing programs were on the chopping block due to funding issues. Those programs have since been stabilized financially. Olfert, who was hired as athletic director in June 2012, said the wrestling program will not be funded with money that would have gone to the existing teams. “We’ve had really good community support – different wrestling clubs have been able to help us on the equipment side of things and get some start-up dollars going,” he said. “And our advancement department at the university has been really helpful with identifying a plan we can put in place to fundraise dollars to make this happen.”
The University of the Fraser Valley men’s soccer squad endured a winless weekend, dropping back-to-back games to the Victoria Vikes. UFV lost 1-0 at home Friday, then 5-2 on the road Sunday. The UFV women did better, tying the Calgary Dinos 1-1 Friday before blanking Lethbridge 5-0 Saturday.

Mom came to Canada at the age of 9 in 1928 with her parents Will & Flo Craven and siblings, Alex & Frances. After 1 year in Agassiz the family came to Chilliwack. As a teenager she worked as housekeeper for several local seniors and then went to work at the Royal Hotel. In 1942 she married Samuel Perry Dickinson and they had 2 daughters, Frances Lynne and Sandra Leslie. In the mid 1950’s while living at 11W Victoria Ave and then at 111 W Victoria Ave Violet opened her home twice a week for the “Chat-A Way” Club. This club went on to become the Chilliwack Senior Recreation Center now at the corner of Victoria and College, half block from their origin. Violet’s home was always open for Lynne and Sandra’s friends and was a home away from home for Lynne’s many military friends and many in the Dutch community as well. After the move to 111 W Victoria Ave, Violet rented the upstairs bedrooms and the family formed many lasting friendships including several in the Greek community. In her 70’s Violet volunteered at the “Stroke
Club” and the kitchen of the Senior Recreation Center. Despite failing eyesight in her 80’s she continued to maintain her home with the help of her daughter and granddaughter. In her 90’s her health started to fail but she was still in her home with her daughter and enjoyed her great granddaughter who was born in March 2013. She was predeceased by her parents and in-laws and her sister, her daughter Sandra in 1974 and her husband Perry in 1990. She is survived by her brother Alex, her sisterin-law Lois, her daughter Lynne, her granddaughter Vicki (Frank) and her great granddaughter Trinity Sage, foster son Barry, nieces, nephews and their families. If friends so desire donations may be made to Chilliwack Animal Safe Haven or BC Children’s Hospital The family would like to thank Dr Bright and the staff at Chilliwack General Hospital E.R. and 4 South and the Home Care Aides. Funeral Services will be held on Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 2:00PM from the Chapel of Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Ave Chilliwack. Burial to follow at Chilliwack Cemeteries. 10/13t VD8
