Jennifer Feinberg The Progress City Councillor Sue Attrill is seeking a third term at city hall in the November election. “I have enjoyed the six years I have served as a city councillor and I have so much more that I want to give to our beautiful city,” she wrote in a release. Recently retired from full-time employement, Attrill said she’ll now be able to become even more involved with municipal duties. “I am proud of all we have accomplished and there are still many things to be done. “My priorities will continue to be keeping taxes as low as possible; Improving the quality of life in Chilliwack and fostering a strong local economy.” See more at susan.attrill@gmail. com. The new name this week is Michael Kha, a computer consultant, who has decided to run for city council. Kha says his goal is to bring his energy and enthusiasm to city hall, emphasizing transparency when it comes to government decision making. He has a degree in computer information systems and he is in the final year of his BA in history and political science at University of the Fraser Valley. “We have so many things to be thankful for living in a beautiful city like Chilliwack,” said Kha. “Our city has the room and the potential to grow in the next decade or so – and I want to be there, involved, and hands on when it does.” More on Facebook by searching MichaelKha4Council. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno
Students make their way to class on the first day of school at Chilliwack secondary on Monday. Kids lost a total of five weeks of education (two last school year, and three this year) due to the teachers’ strike. The Chilliwack school district says there are no plans to make that time back, however upcoming professional development days were rescheduled for later in the year, and first term final exams may be delayed.

Waste plant foes await court decision Jennifer Feinberg, The Progress Opponents of the proposed Aevitas waste recycling plant in Chilliwack had their day in BC Supreme court on Sept. 17. Now they await the judge’s decision expected some time in the coming weeks. The legal challenge, filed last spring by Chilliwack resident Glen Thompson, and the B.C. Outdoor Recreation Council, centred around alleged defects in the City of Chilliwack’s public hearing process to rezone property for a
hazardous waste recycling plant. The hearing was held in Chilliwack last February, to rezone the site chosen by Aevitas Inc. on Cannor Road, for recycling and transferring of waste like mercury and transformer oil. The opponents argued in their submission there was insufficient notice to the public, that the word “hazardous” should have been in the notice, and the map should have indicated the proximity of the site to the Fraser River. But city officials have stressed from day one that all legislative requirements were met. The
rezoning of the heavy industrial land to an M6 special zoning designation was unanimously approved by Chilliwack council on Feb. 4. “The approval process snapped shut before residents were aware of it,” said Glen Thompson, in an online message before heading to court. “In less than an hour, a hearing opened and closed public input.” Also people were unaware of the true nature of the proposal “because the public notice described the site as a waste recycling facility on Cannor Road, which sounds like tins and news-
papers” he noted. “Our case is based on the notice failing to mention the Fraser River, hazardous waste, infectious waste, PCBs and mercury.” Thompson said he felt the judge “didn’t seem to fully appreciate” the opponents’ assertion that the Fraser River should have been clearly indicated on the city map. “It looked like it could go either way but I have no idea,” said Thompson. “It was nerve-wracking, and I could be on the hook for the court costs if we lose.” Continued: WASTE/ p6

Cities call municipal pay review flawed, biased Province’s report rankles UBCM, Metro leaders Jeff Nagel Black Press B.C. cities are firing back at the province for commissioning what they call a flawed and biased review of rising municipal compensation levels. The Ernst and Young report criticized cities for allowing staff pay levels to climb by 38 per cent – twice the rate of the provincial public service – from 2001-12. It also suggested municipal managers are paid too much and recommended the province take strong action to curb the trend,
potentially by threatening to reduce municipal grants. The repor t hasn’t been released by the province but was leaked last week via the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and has cast a chill on municipal-provincial relations as politicians meet in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. UBCM president Rhona Martin said the authors didn’t consult cities or unions, showed a “lack of objectivity” and relied heavily on provincial data and anti-tax lobby groups like the
CTF. They admitted the data was limited but drew strongly worded conclusions anyway, she added. Martin said the report’s suggestion of placing municipal compensation under provincial control – potentially with centralized collective bargaining – would have “profound consequences.” The review was part of the province’s core review with a goal of ensuring public sector pay levels are appropriate. The province has had increasing trouble filling non-union ministerial positions as the pay premium diminishes compared to both government union jobs and municipal government positions,
the review indicated. Community Minister Coralee Oakes urged Martin on Sept. 9 to formally commit to jointly explore both the province’s aim of payroll cost control as well as UBCM’s ideas to strengthen the finances of its member cities. Oakes had proposed a signing ceremony at UBCM when the government-sponsored review would be unveiled. But Martin noted the province rebuffed UBCM proposals tabled a year ago for municipal finance reforms, including a suggestion that provincial government revenues be shared with cities during economic boom times. Instead of exploring those
■ C OMMUNITY P LANTING D AY
ideas, Martin said in a message to UBCM members, the province countered with its own report that was “narrowly focused on compensation comparisons based on an incomplete data set.” In a Sept. 12 reply letter, Martin told Oakes the report’s limitations and lack of consultation make a formal commitment “inappropriate” and said the suggestion of centralized collective bargaining is “problematic” in the current labour relations environment. The review was leaked to the CTF over the Sept. 13-14 weekend. Continued: REVIEW/ p7

An extremely busy recreational fishery for sockeye in Chilliwack this summer means lots of extra garbage is littering the riverbanks right now. In response, river stewards in Chilliwack are gearing up for two big cleanups, Saturday Sept. 27 on the Fraser River and Sunday, Sept. 28 on Chilliwack-Vedder River system. The Fraser Valley Salmon Society reps have recognized there’s been a larger than normal influx of visitors to the fishing spots, hence the need for a special cleanup. “There is lots of fishing line lying around, which is dangerous for birds and other wildlife,” said FVSS member Chris Gadsden. “We’re also asking people with boats to show up to help us get people out to the gravel bars.” The Fraser cleanup is Saturday September 27 with everyone meeting at West End Auto Body on Airport Road from 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. to be assigned river sections to tackle. Gravel bars like Gill Road and Peg Leg will see attention. “The goal is removing as much garbage of as they can before the next Fraser River freshet comes and washes it all down to the Salish Sea.” Members of the Chilliwack-Vedder River Cleanup Coalition are simultaneously preparing for their largest river cleanup event of the year, coinciding with B.C. Rivers Day, on Sunday, Sept. 28, starting with registration at the Chilliwack Fish and Game Club Hall on Chilliwack Lake Road. It’s their 42nd cleanup since starting the organized river cleanups on the Vedder/Chilliwack more than a decade ago, and overall they’ve removed more than 90 tonnes of trash. Volunteers will gather at the fish and game club between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. to register. See more at www.cleanrivers.ca.

Food truck fest saw steady stream of fans all weekend Jennifer Feinberg The Progress There was so much choice from pulled pork, and poutine, to pakoras and beyond. The Fraser Valley Food Truck Festival was a big hit in Chilliwack over the weekend. Close to 6,000 people showed up to sample the varied food truck offering over the two days of the event, said organizer Laine Ogilvie. “I think it was a great weekend, and having the two days made all the difference,” she said. Next spring when they return, they hope more trucks will be offering sample sizes, so more people can try a bigger variety of items. “This year ever ything was way more relaxed and there were hardly any lineups,” she said.

The growing popularity of “vaping� with electronic cigarettes instead of smoking tobacco is among the topics up for debate this week at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention. Har rison Hot Springs has a resolution before the annual gathering of mayors and councillors that calls on the province to regulate the use and sale of e-cigarettes and similar vaporizers. Health officials fear e-cigs are too easy for children to get and that, while they may reduce the damage of smoking for nicotine addicts, they act as a gateway into smoking for others. The B.C. Healthy Living Alliance argues there’s inadequate research on health risks from toxins or potential nicotine poisoning from inhaling the vapours. It wants the same restrictions on smoking and tobacco sales slapped on e-cigarettes, so they can’t be sold to minors, advertised or used in public places where smoking is banned. Their use to defy public smoking bans risks unravelling a “powerful deterrent to tobacco use� and could “lead to renormalization,� says the alliance, whose members include UBCM, health authorities and other organizations. It also recommends a ban on candy and fruit flavours that appeal to youth, enforced standards for the “e-juice� liquids and that e-cigarettes look different from traditional ones. The batter y-powered devices are also sometimes used to discreetly ingest cannabis instead of smoking marijuana. Several other public safety issues are also before UBCM this year. Resolutions from Vancouver and Maple Ridge call on the province to crack down on party buses, which have become notorious as rolling nightclubs for under-age
drinking. The provincial government warned the industr y last year to police itself or face regulation after a 16-year-old youth died in Surrey after riding a party bus, but Vancouver’s motion says nothing has been done. Lower Mainland cities are also jointly calling for the province to retool its latest reform of the B.C. Ambulance Service to create a new integrated emergency response service that includes firefighters. They say their fire department first responder costs have climbed due to the provincial decision not to send ambulances speeding to as many calls with lights and sirens – a change that’s left many patients waiting much longer. The province contends the downgrading of less urgent calls has enabled faster, priority response to the most serious emergencies. Bur naby wants UBCM delegates to vote to oppose Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline twinning. The city is fighting the pipeline company’s attempts to access Burnaby parkland for route design. Another Burnaby resolution would oppose Fraser Surrey Docks’ planned coal export terminal pending further independent assessment of coal dust health risks and formal public hearings. The project was approved by Por t Metro Vancouver last month and is expected to begin construction soon, despite substantial opposition. Other issues on the agenda: • A call from Victoria for the province to share any gains in liquor tax it reaps through looser liquor policies to bolster liquor licence inspections, addiction treatment, policing and late night transit service. • A Maple Ridge call for the province to set up sobering centres for the severely intoxicated to reduce pressure on local first
responders. • A call from New Westminster for Ottawa to accelerate the phase-out of older substandard tanker train cars and that they immediately be banned from carrying dangerous goods. The least crash resistant DOT-111 tankers – the

Human Rights Tribunal rejects smart meter complaint Tom Fletcher Black Press After losing in court and and before the B.C. Utilities Commission, a citizens’ group opposed to wireless electrical meters has been denied a hearing before the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. The complaint was brought by a group called Citizens for Safe Technology Society (CSTS), which argued that “electrohypersensitivity” (EHS) is a disability. “I have concluded that there is no reasonable prospect that the complainants will be able to establish that
the electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure resulting from smart meters results in adverse health consequences,” wrote tribunal member Norman Trerise in the decision not to hold a full hearing. CSTS submitted that they don’t have to prove this sensitivity exists, because the human rights tribunal has accepted “subjective self-reporting of symptoms” in a previous human rights case involving a Lower Mainland bus driver. CSTS also cited a Prince Edward Island Court of Appeal decision that stated “a per-
son may be ill even though there is little or no objective evidence to prove it.” BC Hydro said a series of doctors’ notes supplied by the complainants don’t prove the condition is real, because they appear to be based “entirely on the self-diagnosis of the individual complainants.” BC Hydro has argued that the exposure from periodic wireless meter signals to send electricity consumption data to collection stations is similar to exposure to radio station signals. BC Hydro said the Human Rights

Tribunal doesn’t have jurisdiction over the wireless grid project, and the B.C. Utilities Commission does. The B.C. government’s 2010 Clean Energy Act mandated the wireless grid upgrade, and exempted it from review by the BCUC. But in 2013 the BCUC reviewed the wireless grid project by FortisBC in the Okanagan and Kootenay region, and rejected CSTS submissions that the technology was a health hazard. CSTS argued that BC Hydro’s offer to relocate the wireless meter to another part of the property was not sufficient relief, and charging meter reading fees to those who want to keep their mechanical meter or have a digital meter with the wireless transmission turned off is discrimination against people with a disability.

December 3, Council received letters of opposition to the Bylaw from four individuals, letters of concern from two individuals, and a letter of information from one individual. “Four individuals also spoke at the public hearing in opposition to the bylaw,” read the document provided to the court by City of Chilliwack. In conclusion, city submitted that “nothing would be gained” by holding another public hearing, and that they had complied with both the requirements of the Local Government Act, and the common law rules of procedural fairness.

In its court submitted documents, city officials make it clear they could have legally waived the need for a hearing entirely, but chose not to in the name of policy and procedural fairness. In other words, Council could have rezoned the property without holding a public hearing because the property was already zoned heavy industrial. Chilliwack also denied the allegation that the notice prevented the petitioners from attending the meeting. Specifically, noted the City in its presentation to the court, “The Outdoor Recreation
Council acknowledges that it only became aware of the proposal to rezone the property after the public hearing.” Thompson, meanwhile, stated in his affidavit that he was aware of the hearing and aware of the details about the proposed facility prior to the public hearing, but was “unable to attend due to the shortness of the notice.” “Accordingly,” said the city, “there is no evidence that either Petitioner even read the notice of which they now complain.” There was also some prior awareness about the hearing in the community established prior to it, they argued. “At the public hearing on

Pointsof View
The Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Wednesday and Friday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. The Progress is a member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association, British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association and B.C. Press Council.
Are we ready for it? Statistics Canada had an ominous warning for B.C. residents this week. The population is expected to grow by 6 million people over the next few decades. The growth won’t be as rapid as in neighbouring Alberta, but it will be significant. Much of it will be occurring in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, underlying the need for proper planning if we hope to protect livability. That planning must occur on two fronts. In Chilliwack, we want to ensure our local economy keeps pace with this growth. We want local job opportunities so these new residents aren’t simply finding more affordable housing here, while working down the highway. That has long been a concern of Chilliwack decision makers: not allowing the city to become a bedroom community to larger centres to the west. And for good reason. A robust local economy creates a greater sense of community. Healthy business and industry also provide a stronger tax base that takes some of the pressure off homeowners. Because it is that tax base that Chilliwack will need if we are to succeed on the second front: Ensuring
The Chilliwack

Chilliwack has the sufficient resources necessary to maintain livability. Already Chilliwack is assuming responsibilities that were once the purview of other levels of government. The shift has been gradual but unrelenting. Municipal governments are working more actively to provide support for the less fortunate, care for the vulnerable, and security for the populace. Pressure, too, will come as we age. The number of seniors living in B.C. is expected to climb to 27 per cent of the population by 2038. Not only does this have implications for our health care system, but also the economy as more people move from full employment and into retirement. Chilliwack, like municipalities across the province, will be deciding Nov. 15 who is best suited to prepare for these challenges over the next four years. The civic campaign is about to begin in earnest. Let it be about issues and ideas. Let’s hear how Chilliwack can grow its economy, can create real and meaningful jobs, and prepare for the population influx we’ve already been warned is coming. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress
B.C. V IEWS
It’s report card time for local politicians VICTORIA – This November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a four-year term, rather than three. It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters. Remember when it was fashionable for city councils to declare their communities “a nuclear weapons-free zone”? You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do. To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt. A long-time NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after
raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer. One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence of Soviet communism on Tom the B.C. NDP. He FLETCHER was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year when President Vladimir Putin was having his way with Crimea. Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when aboriginal protesters disrupted natural gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several police vehicles in the process. Isitt took to his Facebook page
to decry the federal government’s use of police against the population, and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petroleum resources benefit the people rather than corporations. Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry. The capital, Caracas, is famous for extreme poverty, brutally suppressed riots, and a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dangerous cities. How does Isitt’s political outlook translate to his role in local government? This week local politicians gather in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. One of Isitt’s first contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to finance local infrastructure. Isitt proposed setting up
www.theprogress.com ContactUs: w
The Chilliwack
Progress
a municipal income tax. Presumably this would be on top of property taxes. In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision to wind up door-to-door delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes. After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people. When the B.C. government
didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed. And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most overgoverned region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds. So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

Maybe pensioners should go on strike Now the teachers are back at work – they did not seem to get exactly what they wanted, but at least some of it. I understand that the nurses are going to be next. What about us seniors/ pensioners? Perhaps it’s time for the pensioners to go on strike! From what? The only thing we can go on strike from is all the volunteering we do, such as perhaps baby sitting grandchildren... and all the other volunteering functions we perform. I’m lucky that in all my working years I have never been put on the spot of having to go on strike; I think it is a bad (although sometimes perhaps necessary) way of trying to get what you want. Somehow it feels to me like a temper tantrum. Whenever I accepted a job, I accepted everything that went with it, as per the arrangement. If I didn’t like
that anymore, for some reason or other, I would look for another job. And now I’m on CPP and OAS, and they do not come with raises of more than a few cents most years, but prices keep on going up a lot more. And I consider myself still one of the lucky ones, because some people get even less than I do, while most get more than me. It is, indeed, harder and harder to make ends meet (the ends keep on going further apart). I would not mind getting a part time job, but who is going to hire an 83-year-old with a mobility problem? Would TransLink have a job for me? Is that fellow there who gets more than half a million really worth more than 20 of me? At the grocery store and at the gas pump I have to pay the same prices as he does! Yes, I am lucky, because I own
my condo and only have to pay the monthly fees and whatever extras may crop up, but no ridiculously high rent. And I have a very small pension from the years I worked in Europe before immigrating here, but there are more and more things that I’m interested in that I have to drop because I just can’t afford to continue with them. Fortunately my location is such that the four places I regularly go to (church, gym, volunteering, grocery store) are only about two kilometres from home and further I just don’t go anywhere anymore. At zero per cent financing (over seven years) it was cheaper for me to buy a new car than to keep my previous one (over five years); my lack of mobility is such that I could not possibly go anywhere on foot, so my car is definitely not a luxury.

Better funded classrooms get better results communist ideals, prepared to enter the work force as skilled laborers (much like Christy Clark would like – see “BC ed plan”). You can bet the Chinese hand selected and prepped the class that the Western visitors observed as an example of the discipline valued by that society. Were the visitors allowed to see how the students with special needs do their learning? Finally, concluding from these misaligned comparisons that we must put all our students in front of a computer all day long and just let them learn at their own pace is illogical. The type of students who can’t sit still in a regular classroom most certainly couldn’t sit all day in front of a computer to learn. Just because many of them could play computer games all day doesn’t mean they have the self-discipline necessary to undertake all the course work needed to meet the stipulated
learning outcomes dayin and day-out. And, our current Liberal government doesn’t fund the education system properly now. How can they be counted on to provide each student with the expensive technology required for them to do this on-line learning? True education is a highly social and cooperative operation, requiring teachers to establish learning atmospheres where each student can have meaningful experiences and profound learning opportunities. Rows of ‘disciplined’, passive listeners, whether in a communist-like setting, a university lecture hall or classes of students strapped in front of a computer does not achieve this. The logical conclusion on how to improve classrooms for these students is to properly fund the current system so students have the support they require. Glen Sallenbach

have gone through the hormonal changes that middle and high school students are still contending with which have a huge impact on their behaviour. And of course, your example of a BC class full of poorly disciplined students is that of a special needs class, filled with students with unique mental and behavioural challenges. This is the exact type of class that the BC teachers were on strike for, trying get the government to adequately fund so your example would no longer occur. Second of all, communist societies like China require ‘discipline’ from their citizens in order to maintain dictator-like control of its populace. If that is what British Columbians truly valued, parents would insist on it more in their homes and teach their children to respect/fear their teachers. That way children could become drones able to regurgitate state-mandated ‘facts’ to perpetuate the

Re: Classes too big, or too unruly? (Chilliwack Progress, Sept. 19) In response to Ted Grigoleit’s letter about unruly classes, comparing the behaviour of students in BC’s underfunded special education classes to a specially prepped communist Chinese class on display for western visitors or to a university lecture hall full of highly motivated, paying mature students is one of the worst cases of “apples to oranges” ever written. To begin with, students in university have already mastered proper behaviour and listening skills. Not to mention that they are paying top dollar to be in that class and most don’t want to waste their tuition money. Plus, the lecture-hall scenario is becoming less of a reality, and where this still exists, the students also attend much smaller tutorial sessions to discuss and apply the information from the lecture. As well, those students

Representing you in any real estate transaction, you can be assured that I will work hard and keep your best interests the #1 priority. If you are selling, you will get the maximum exposure needed to market your home effectively, and if you are purchasing I will listen to your needs and help you find the perfect place to call home. I believe that the qualities of a good real estate agent are honesty, integrity and a strong work ethic. My name is Steve Mainse and I will take great pride in representing you.
Work with a REALTOR® for ‘peace of mind’ A REALTOR’S® job is to sell your home for the best price, in the shortest time. Another important part of the REALTOR’S® responsibility is to make the sales process as easy as possible for you, the seller. Your REALTOR® can eliminate much of the hassle involved in selling your home, while providing you and your family with the “peace of mind” you need during this sensitive time. Your REALTOR® can help you avoid the inconvenience of having buyers stop by unannounced to see your home or wasting your time with those who are not financially qualified to buy your home or just strangers coming by to look. When you list your home with a sales professional, you get an array of valuable services, including the widest possible exposure through Multiple Listing Service as well as newsprint advertising and Internet websites. These are the best vehicles to get the most qualified buyers to see your home. REALTORS® educate their clients about the local market and work with other REALTORS® to match buyers and sellers. They help sellers to prepare their home or land for sale. They help the seller to decide on a price; this involves an analysis of properties that have recently sold and properties that are currently on the market. People who try to sell their own homes begin to appreciate the expertise of professional REALTORS® as soon as their first offer comes in. They want to sell their home, and they have found prospects who want to buy. But what happens next? When the negotiating process begins, things can get “sticky”. First, there are personalities involved, and real estate transactions can sometimes be difficult. The buyers may seem unreasonable if they make an offer that is considerably less than the sellers are willing to accept. At that point the buyers may become offended by
For many people, their home is their biggest asset and their prized possession. When it comes time to buy that first home, or sell your current home and upgrade, put your trust into someone that has intimate knowledge of the area and local market. Having been born and raised in Chilliwack, knowing the community and various neighbourhoods comes as second nature to me. With an extensive background in Personal and Commercial Sales and Marketing, I know what it takes to market your property to the right people and achieve a quick sale for top dollar. Helping my clients meet their Real Estate Goals is my main focus! When Buying or Selling Property, you need an honest, hardworking REALTOR® that you can count on to devote their time to ensure that you are totally satisfied before, during and after your transaction. I am that REALTOR®; and I welcome your calls.

Licensed since May 1980, I have been a part of the many changes Chilliwack has undergone. The Real Estate profession during that time has also undergone many changes. The introduction of Disclosure and Agency. Disclosure took all the uncertainty away. Simply put, disclose all things known to all parties involved. Agency, a clear understanding of the relationship you are entering into with your Realtor! I now enter my senior years as a Realtor, with my knowledge and experience I bring added value to the process of preparing you to make a well informed decision whether you are buying or selling.

the sellers’ attitude. When professional REALTORS® are involved, the process is much less adversarial. The two parties see very little to none of each other until the rough edges have been smoothed out and there has been a meeting of the minds. REALTORS® know how to keep personalities out of the transaction and to help both sides reach a mutually agreeable compromise. When selling your home, your REALTOR® will also provide you with a seller’s disclosure form. You have a choice of either making the repairs or letting the buyers know what the problems are, especially any potentially serious problems. Some buyers will want a structural inspection so that they will have a good idea about what they are getting into. Even if the buyers don’t ask for an expert to look at the house, it is the seller’s responsibility to disclose any defects in the property that they know about. A concealed problem may come back to haunt you after the closing. Many lawsuits involve undisclosed defects, and the settlement of these cases makes the cost of repair or the price concession during the sales look like a real bargain. Another good reason why it pays to work with a professional. While any sale can potentially become complicated and difficult, a REALTOR® is trained to tackle such difficulties so your transaction ends on a positive note. Real estate professionals work hard to maintain a good rapport between the parties involved in every transaction, to make your real estate experience a good one!

Chilliwack moms set to defend title in world breastfeeding challenge Last year Chilliwack was tops in North America and tied for first in the world On Oct. 4 at 11 a.m. mothers and children at sites across Canada and all over the world will compete to set the record for the most children breastfeeding at one time. Chilliwack’s event will be held at the Neighbourhood Learning Centre located at 46361 Yale Road. Doors open at 9 a.m. with the official latch-on happening at 11 a.m. This year’s speakers will include Chilliwack locals Dr. Carin Bondar, biologist and mother of four, and Glenda Standeven, cancer survivor, motivational speaker and mother of two. Mothers are encouraged to register in advance for the challenge to receive a commemorative certificate of participation and gift bag, but are also able to do so on location the morning of the event as well. Other highlights include door prizes, complimentary breastfeeding portraits, organic nursing tea and lactation cookies. This event takes place as part of the celebration of World Breastfeeding Week in Canada. The Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge began in 2001 in British Columbia, Canada with 856 children at 26 sites. By 2013 there were 4,569 children in 10 countries that took part. Last year, Chilliwack had 162 babies breastfed simultaneously placing first in North America and tied for first place in the
Blood Signal activated: time to donate blood is now Canadian Blood Services has had to activate its Blood Signal, meaning the national blood supply is lower than normal, and donors are needed more than ever to help fill some of the many appointments still open. In Chilliwack, 130 appointments over the next four clinics need to be filled by the end of October. The following Chilliwack clinics still need donors: Friday, Oct. 3 (noon to 5 p.m.), and Mondays, Oct. 13, and 27 (1:30 to 7:30 p.m.). The clinics will take place at the Coast Hotel in Chilliwack. There is also a clinic on Monday, Sept. 29 which is currently full, but appointments often open up at the last minute at any given clinic. Donors can always call the day before one of the clinics to help fill last-minute cancellations. CBS is asking all eligible Canadians to donate blood this fall
and to bring a friend to their next appointment. Higher than expected cancellations and no-shows over the past months have put extra pressure on the national blood supply. In B.C. alone, there have been 15,000 no-shows since April 1, 2014, and 8,500 cancelled with less than two days notice leaving CBS no time to rebook donors. Here’s how you can make a difference and help save a life: · Book, keep, and save your next appointment. · Invite a friend, family member, or coworker. Almost all first-time donors bring a friend, and it is a great way to support each other and make it a social event. To book an appointment, download the GiveBlood app, visit blood. ca or call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888236-6283). For more, including info on eligibility, go to blood.ca.

world. “We have received an overwhelming response to this year’s event and have already surpassed last year’s registrations. It’s possible we could reach our goal of 200 babies breastfeeding simultaneously on October 4.” said Alitha D’Ottavio, organizer of this year’s event. Despite these numbers however, breastfeeding still presents a major challenge for many women. Two of the biggest hurdles for mothers continue to be lack of support and marginalization by the community. In North America, this lack of support is demonstrated as many women
find breastfeeding in public a major barrier. The Breastfeeding Challenge is one strategy to help spread the word globally that breastfeeding is normal and an important strategy for child and maternal health. For more information regarding the Chilliwack Breastfeeding Challenge or to register, contact Alitha D’Ottavio at chwk. bf.challenge@gmail.com or check out the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/chilliwackbreastfeedingchallenge.

There’s never pressure to ‘keep up’.� Shaw is on a mission to help improve the lives of Chilliwack residents through physical fitness and sound nutrition. “Working out regularly may not be easy, but having a plan to follow, a group to workout with and some fun in the process definitely help,� says Shaw.

Citizens on Patrol looks for volunteers The Chilliwack Citizens on Patrol program is looking for volunteers. The self-described ‘extra eyes and ears’ of the local RCMP, CCOP has run for the last 17 years, keeping a watchful eye out for suspicious activities and people. CCOP patrols in twoperson teams in the evenings, which creates scheduling difficulties. It is difficult to fill every available shift if the volunteer pool is shallow. CCOP is constantly on the lookout for people 19 years and older who live or work in the area. Applicants must get a criminal-record check and complete a training program that includes crime prevention techniques, radio communications and observation skills. The training is provided free of charge. To learn more about the Citizens on Patrol Program, contact 604.393.3012 or drop by the Crime Prevention Services office at 45877 Wellington Avenue. The office is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays.

Edna Covey and the film committee always choose with care the intriguing TIFF titles to be screened at the Chilliwack festival.
JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS
Chilliwack’s little film festival turns 15 Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s the 15th Annual Fall Film Series on Wednesday, Sept. 24, so organizers are kicking things off with a gala celebration of cinema that night at Cottonwood 4 Cinemas. The film series from the Toronto International Film Festival Circuit is presented twice a year by Chilliwack Community Arts Council, with interesting TIFF films chosen by a small local committee. “It is just amazing to think how quickly the time has gone by,” said Edna Covey, who has been involved with film selection for the festival since the first year, 1999. The idea behind the TIFF film circuit was to engage in cultural outreach, by helping to bring
global cinematic excellence to communities across Canada. “We are so appreciative of the people in Chilliwack who have supported us all along. Some will even show up at the theatre without looking first at the schedule to see what’s playing,” she said. They generally pick about nine film titles from the TIFF catalogue and then they end up with six to screen when the festival rolls around. “We rarely get to see the films in advance. We just choose what we think the audience is going to like,” she said. Sometimes the more controversial themes or films with blue language have rankled some attendees in the past, but there are always more who make a point of telling them how much the festival is appreciated. “We mostly try to find movies
that wouldn’t normally be possible to see in Chilliwack,” said Covey. The first film in this festival is Grand Seduction on Sept. 24, starring Taylor Kitsch, Brendan Gleeson and Gordon Pinsent. It’s the English version of a popular Q uebec film from 2003, directed by Don McKellar. “I’m looking forward to this one,” Covey said. They showed the French version at a previous festival. The humorous storyline follows the antics of a Newfoundland townspeople, trying desperately to attract a physician to take up residence in their once-thriving fishing community. The last film on Oct. 29, Boyhood, a coming of age film, has received rave reviews by most critics, and has a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
“It may not be everyone’s movie, but I’m looking forward to that one as well. It was made over a period of 12 years, which is interesting that the filmmakers would take that time.” The film is both a nostalgic foray into the recent past and an ode to childhood and parenting. The gala celebration will be a licensed affair for an extra $5 on top of the $6 film ticket, so patrons can sip on a glass of wine before the show, as well as light snacks and some gift draws. They will be showing off the movie posters they’ve saved over the years. “There will be a little display.” A season’s pass is $30, sold at The Arts Room and at the door. All four Cottonwood theatres will be screening Grand Seduction. Fall Film Fest ‘Opening Night Gala’ Sept. 24, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Scene Staged reading of play by Drew Hayden Taylor The University of the Fraser Valley Theatre Depar tment, Sto:lo Nation and the Stó:lo Research & Resource Management Centre are pleased to present staged readings of Ojibway playwright Drew Hayden Taylor’s play,The Berlin Blues, as part of Culture
Days 2014. In The Berlin Blues, a consortium of German developers shows up on the fictional Otter Lake Reserve. They present a seemingly irresistible offer to improve the local economy with the creation of “Ojibway World.” It’s a native theme park
designed to attract European tourists to a new destination resort, causing hilarious personal and political divisions within the community. The wildly funny play — involving a musical revue of Dances with Wolves and a 44 metre laserbeam dream-catcher —
Wild Mushroom Frittata Presented by BORN 3 EGGS • 1/2 lb. (250g) mixed, fresh wild mushrooms (shitake, enoki, crimini) • 1/2 lb. (250g) button mushrooms • 2 tbsp (25ml) butter or margarine • 2 tbsp (25ml) fresh thyme leaves OR 2 tsp. (10ml) dried • 6 eggs • 1/4 cup (50ml) grated Parmesan cheese • 1/2 cup (125ml) shredded gruyere cheese
F R A S E R VA L L E Y
S H O W 2 014
A Frittata (Italian in origin) is an omelet where the filling ingredients are mixed in with the eggs before cooking. It is always served flat rather than folded. Try making one to use up leftovers. If you are a mushroom connoisseur you will enjoy this rendition accented with fresh herbs. Wipe mushrooms clean; then slice. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet. Sauté mushrooms for about 5 minutes. Add thyme leaves and cook 1 minute longer. Beat eggs and stir in Parmesan cheese. Pour over mushrooms in skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat until eggs are almost set. Sprinkle with gruyere cheese. Wrap handle or skillet with aluminum foil to heatproof. Broil until cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to serving plate and cut into wedges (makes 4 to 6 servings)

will also raise questions about cultural tourism and how far economic development should go. This staged reading marks the second year of a partnership between the University of the Fraser Valley Theatre Department, Stó:lo Nation and the Stó:lo Research & Resource Management Centre. This partnership is intended to create opportunities for aboriginal performance in the Fraser Valley by providing opportunities for
university and community-based collaboration. Everyone is welcome to attend the readings and participate in a discussion with the actors after each reading. Tickets are free and available at the door half an hour before performances begin. Performances of The Berlin Blues will be on Saturday, September 27 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, September 28 at 2 p.m. at the Stó:lo Resource Centre, 10-7201 Vedder Road in Chilliwack.

Volunteers Getting Kids to Volunteer
V
olunteering is a great way for parents to instill character in their children. When kids volunteer, they learn lessons about responsibility while also learning how enjoyable it can be to help. Kids who volunteer early in life are more likely to do so throughout their lives, and that lifetime of service can be invaluable. The right volunteering opportunity for a child often depends on the child's age. The following are a few age-appropriate ideas that can help get kids excited about volunteering and giving back to their neighborhoods.

TRAVEL TIP
W
hile many parents recognize the positive impact reading can have on their children, it's no secret that getting kids to embrace it can be difficult. Distractions such as television, video games and social media can draw kids away from reading. But parents who want to instill a love of reading in their children can take steps to ensure their kids don't miss out on the benefits of a good book. Reading to your children early on is the first step toward fostering a love of reading kids will develop and continue throughout their lives. Many parents read to their children before bedtime, but any time of day will suffice.
BOOKS How to encourage kids to read
Don't be discouraged if kids are not interested in books. Reading the newspaper, magazines and even comic books can help kids develop strong reading skills, an extensive vocabulary and inspire their imaginations. Young sports fans might be more inclined to read the sports page than a novel, so let them do so. Kids are more likely to embrace reading if what they're reading interests them, so encourage kids to read up on those interests, even if it does not involve picking up a book. Visiting the library is a great way to encourage kids to read and kids with their own library cards tend to look at visits to the library as shopping trips where they can make their own choices about what they're taking home. And once kids reach a certain age, they can visit the library on their own. Parents can set a good example by reading as well. On trips to the library, check out your own book. Also take time to discuss the books they're reading.

ravel consent letters for children travelling without a parent or guardian are not mandatory in Canada. However, the Government of Canada highly recommends that a child travelling abroad alone, with only one parent/guardian, with friends or relatives, or with a group, carry a consent letter signed by every parent or guardian who is not accompanying the child on the trip. If you are uncertain as to whether or not a travel consent letter will be required, it is recommended that you contact the consulate of the destination country, and the airline or other carrier with which the child will be travelling, for further information. There is no official format for a travel consent letter. However, the Government of Canada has an excellent website (travel.gc.ca) which answers frequently asked questions regarding children and travel abroad. You will find a link to an interactive fillable PDF form which will allow you to create and customize your own form. It is not mandatory to have the consent letter notarized. However, it is strongly recommended that the signatures of the non-accompanying parent(s) or guardian(s) be certified by a lawyer, notary, or commissioner of oaths, as border officials will be less likely to question the authenticity of the document.

better DRIVERS How to help teenagers become better drivers Traffic accidents account for many injuries and fatalities among teens. Education and practice are essential to helping teenagers become better drivers.
A
new crop of teenagers is ready to take to the roads with their newly minted drivers' licenses. Most teenagers are anxious to get behind the wheel because having a license and access to a car means freedom they may not have had before. However, parents and guardians may be worried about these teens on the road because they lack the practice and experience of more advanced drivers. Continuing to educate young drivers about safety can help reduce the risk of accident.
Practice safer driving As with any activity, practice helps hone skills and teaches people through their own mistakes. Driving is no exception. Mistakes on the road can be serious; therefore, it is best for teen drivers to practice driving in areas that are not heavily populated or full of traffic. Parents may want to establish rules
19
learning that the teen is not able to drive solo until he or she passes the requirements set forth by Mom or Dad. Parents can routinely ride around with their teen children to gauge how progress is coming along.
Set a good example How their parents drive can influence how a teen drives. Think about your driving habits and how they may be perceived by your teen. Do you speed? Talk on the cell phone? Wear your seatbelt? Parents should be mindful of their own behaviours when driving and the impression those behaviours are making on youngsters.
Establish rules Distracted driving is claiming more and more lives each year. Many accidents are as the result of texting while driving. Parents can implement rules, such as that cell phones are not allowed to be on while in the car or the phone should be stored in the back seat or trunk while a teen is driving.
school zone tips Every school day, unless otherwise posted, a 30-km/hr speed limit is in effect in school zones from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Watch for school buses. Vehicles approaching from both directions must stop for school buses when their lights are flashing.
When you're dropping off your children in school zones, allow them to exit the car on the side closest to the sidewalk. Never allow a child to cross mid-block.
Before getting into your vehicle, walk around your vehicle to make sure no small children are behind it. Always look for pedestrians when you're backing up.
If a vehicle's stopped in front of you or in the lane next to you, they may be yielding to a pedestrian, so be prepared to stop.
Driving is an activity that offers freedom and mobility. It is also one that places a very large and potentially destructive piece of machinery into the hands of a driver. Education should be ongoing as teens learn to drive.

What puts teens particularly at risk is the tendency of many young drivers to engage in reckless behavior and/or distracted driving. It is often up to parents to reinforce the rules of the road and also consistently work with their children so that the teens can become better drivers.

Elementary school children Volunteering activities for school-aged kids should be simple, such as accompanying their parents to food banks. Kids with grandparents in assisted living facilities can read to residents at the facility or bring them homemade arts and crafts. These tasks are simple, and kids won't feel nervous when accompanied by Mom and Dad.
Middle school children
Nursery
Bathing
When kids reach middle school, they might not feel it's necessary for Mom and Dad to tag along as much. This is a perfect time for kids to branch out and choose their volunteer activities. Kids who have been volunteering since early childhood might have some volunteering goals of their own by the time they reach middle school, so don't insist they continue with current activities if there's something else sparking their interest. Kids might want to help an elderly neighbor around the house or taking care of their property. Encourage such ideas, and expect kids to want to exercise some independence when they reach middle school.

High school students are busy, but those who have been volunteering since childhood will likely find a way to continue doing so. Teenagers tend to have more specific interests than younger children, and parents can encourage teens to incorporate those interests into their volunteering. For example, kids who love sports might be able to coach younger athletes. Or kids who excel in the classroom can tutor younger students. Volunteering can look good on a high school student's resume, but parents should be careful that they don't stretch themselves too thin with extracurricular activities. Encourage volunteering but not at the expense of schoolwork.

EYEGLASSES
C
Younger children may find it difficult to understand why they need glasses or they may forget to put them on or how to care for them properly. Parents may find it challenging to acclimate a child to eyeglasses, but there are a few strategies to help make that transition go more smoothly.
Shop together Children may be more receptive to eyeglasses if they get to choose those glasses. Glasses are personal and should be sized according to the wearer's face. Kids should select various pairs of glasses they like and try them on. Narrow down the pairs based on comfort, look and price. If your child likes a particular pair of glasses, it may be worth spending a few extra dollars for those frames, as kids are more likely to wear glasses they like.
Kids may be quicker to warm to eyeglasses if parents showcase a few of the many worthy role models who wear glasses, and do so with style. In addition to many celebrities,
OFF

there are likely many people in your family or group of friends who wear glasses, and kids often want to emulate their elders.
Choose the right time
2 FOR1
OR
GLASSES OR SUNGLASSES
Make sure a child is well rested and happy before he or she dons eyeglasses for the first time. Start with a few minutes per day and build up to wearing the glasses for the prescribed duration. Use positive reinforcement and rewards for wearing and taking good care of the glasses.
Point out the benefits Highlight activities that will be improved by better vision as they relate to your kids' interests. Perhaps glasses will make playing games easier. Point out to kids who love to read how much more comfortable they are now that they can see the words on the page more easily. When it comes to the family athlete, discuss how much easier it is to see the ball now that your budding athlete is wearing eyeglasses.

Helping kids adapt to eyeglasses hildren's vision problems often become apparent when youngsters first enter school.

Blues. The way it was meant to be. W
hile the phrase The Harpoonist and The Axe-Murderer might bring to mind a re-make of The Shining starring Captain Ahab, it’s actually the name of the Vancouverbased blues sensation coming to The Centre on Ocotber 4 with their funky, soul-filled tunes that are unlike anything that has come to our stage before. Shawn ‘The Harpoonist’ Hall and Matthew ‘The Axe Murderer’ Rogers evoke much more than just grisly nautical imagery. Armed with an arsenal of harmonicas, a mess of foot percussion, and a road-worn Telecaster, the duo kick out raw and primal blues in the tradition of a ‘decades-deep blues style’ (Scott Brown, What’s up Yukon), while infusing the genre with a jolt of renewed energy. The two met and bonded over music while recording a radio jingle. Their memorable name is inspired by a lyric from Kris Kristofferson’s ‘Bobby McGee’ that references the blues harp, (‘I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana’) and ‘axe’, a common term for the guitar. Their influences range from the iconic songwriting of Willie Dixon to the boundary pushing of Jack White and Danger Mouse but their sound is distinctly their own, smothered in greasy, gritty soul and imbued with funk. Shawn Hall provides the rousing, rugged vocals and blues harmonica, while Matthew Rogers rips on the guitar and pounds the skins with his feet. Their music is unapologetic. It slaps you in the face and makes you sweat like it’s a sticky, summer night. It cuts you to the core. It’s the blues played the way it was meant to be played. With their new album A Real Fine Mess, the duo have merged the emotion and soulfulness of 50s, 60s, and 70s blues with funk attitude and rhythm to give the genre a truly modern twist. The end product is “greasy gut-twisting soul that envelopes your senses till your knees start shaking”, says Shawn ‘The Harpoonist’ Hall, and a sound that is sure to raise the pulse of blues, funk, folk and rock fans alike! This broad appeal is only amplified by The Harpoonist and The Axe-Murderer’s unique set-up. With such a huge, layered sound, you may be surprised to learn that the band is comprised of only two individuals that
employ some rather resourceful musicianship and impressive co-ordination to bring their unbelievable tunes to stage! “We started quite basically with a porch board pedal, an acoustic guitar, and an acoustic harp” says Shawn. “Our set up got considerably more complex as our audiences grew and we increased our musical output.” The band have stayed loyal to a stripped-down approach however, with Shawn providing rugged vocal and harmonica duties as his bandmate Matthew ‘The Axe-Murderer’ Rogers draws the blues from the guitar, while simultaneously handling rhythm with his arsenal of foot percussion! This has inevitably led their song writing in a direction you’re not likely to hear anywhere else, and that draws in listeners with its distinctive atmosphere and personality. “People don’t really know how to label us” Shawn goes on, “as we’ve consciously veered from the 12 bar format of blues song writing. But at the end of the day we’re simply playing a kick drum, a snare, a Telecaster and a harmonica. The result appeals to people of all ages because it is so very much pure and honest.” The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer are ready and raring to bring the blues to The Centre’s stage and show audiences just what you can do with a guitar and a kick drum. Their unique approach and attitude embodies everything exciting about the exhilarating arts and culture community of the lower mainland and their show in Chilliwack will be the best possible way to celebrate the Cultural Centre’s fourth anniversary. The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer is generously sponsored by Bathe Plumbing, John Martin MLA, Chilliwack Community Arts Council, The Chilliwack Progress, The Drive, Best Western Rainbow Country Inn, The Province of British Columbia, The British Columbia Arts Council, The City of Chilliwack and The Department of Canadian Heritage. 9-14W CCC24

Hysterical comedy with heart and soul. For a wonderfully weird and endearingly entertaining theatre experience that has been described as “a truly fun riff on British farce steeped in playfulness, meticulous physical comedy, and an unabashed love for the unexpected”, come to The Centre on October 3 & 5 for a night of tea and merriment.
often amazed at the ease in which they contributed to the comedy and story. They are often surprised at their own willingness to participate, leave feeling that they have explored an edge of their comfort and engaged with life in a new way, and grown as individuals, all the while participating in and building community.
often improvised but perpetually playful journey into fanciful realms of happiness and glee. From conversing with the General of the British Army, to an ill-fated family photo shoot, and a kooky tea-party with a difference, there is no scenario too surreal to envelop these two innocent imaginations as they bond over the clink of fine china.
James and Jamesy are friends that cherish each other’s company. Their kindness, patience, and desire to understand and please each other, despite a myriad of differences, is rich fodder for creators Alistair Knowles and Aaron Malkin to play in. They believe that playing is good for humanity, and that imagination and whimsy are elements of childhood that tend to retreat as we become mature grown-ups - much like parents at a playground. As adults, our willingness to play may have atrophied, but it’s still there, and given the right circumstances, it can joyously erupt. “In 2 for Tea, we create opportunities where that spark of play is nurtured and fanned into a delightful blaze that illuminates the entire audience” states the creative duo. This show was created based on ideas, situations, and performance disciplines that excite them. Sharing this genuine excitement brings these two, and the audience, delight and inspiration. Their genuine love for the show’s interdisciplinary structure, its subject matter, and the creative connections it facilitates with audiences inspires them to continue developing and presenting 2 for Tea. And as the Charlebois Post points out, “It’s a bloody good time!”
Audience members will be treated to a style of theatre that dissolves the separation between performer and audience. Prepare for regular eruptions of laughter, tea, a fantastical trip of the imagination, and to be left with an elation of spirit that will have you smiling and reminiscing, especially when having tea with a friend.
2 for Tea shines with a profound sense of innocence and whimsicality from how it breaks down barriers of sensibility and routine, to the outburst of positive energy that the show inspires in its audiences. “We delight in creating scenarios where audiences are not only able to participate but are inspired to do so”, James and Jamesy go on. “Through one lens, one can see our shows as playtime where everyone’s invited. Through another, it’s a moving story that has audiences feeling closer to people in their lives.”
Jamesy’s childlike quirks and James’ modest personality create bizarre adventures from the most unassuming of remarks, taking the two on an
Taking the Canadian fringe circuit by storm, this delightful piece of theatre winning has an endless stream of accolades from theatre critics, performers, audiences and more. Winning the Patron’s Pick at the Toronto and London Fringe Festival, Best of the Fest at the Winnipeg Fringe Fest, Most Memorable Performance from the Montreal Fringe Fest, and Best Physical Theatre at the Victoria Fringe seemingly wasn’t enough. James and Jamesy’s escapades were reviewed as “Complete and utter fun… Highly entertaining for all ages” and given a 5-star score by CBC Manitoba, deemed worthy of “Two spouts up!” according to the Montreal Gazette, and awarded praise as an unequivocal “bloody good time!” from the Charlebois Post! 2 for Tea is generously sponsored by The Province of British Columbia, The Chilliwack Progress, Dickens Sweets and British Museum, Prime Signs, The British Columbia Arts Council, Aromatica Fine Teas, The Department of Canadian Heritage, The City of Chilliwack and Tetley Tea.

CHILLIWACK’S TEAM MEDALISTS FROM THE BC SENIOR GAMES, HELD SEPTEMBER 9-13 IN LANGLEY
Craig Puffer and his Chilliwack Chiefs won both of their Bauer BCHL Showcase Games and take on the Surrey Eagles in a home-and-home this weekend. DARREN FRANCIS PHOTO
Chiefs take two to start season The Chilliwack Chiefs took six games to score six goals at the start of the 2013-14 season. This year, it took them less than 60 minutes. The Chiefs opened the BCHL regular season Saturday night with a 6-3 win over the Powell River Kings, followed by a 2-1 win over the Merritt Centennials Sunday night. The Chiefs (2-0) didn’t win on home ice until their seventh game last year, and took 15 games to collect two wins. So this new group is light years ahead of where the old group was. One player who is off to a blistering start is holdover Jake Hand, who scored three goals against the Kings and
could have had five or six with a bit more luck. Hand scored 13 in 54 games last year. Jake Larson, Liam Ferguson and Craig Puffer all collected their first BCHL goals in the Powell River win. Luke McColgan and Kurt Black scored in the win over Merritt. McColgan collected the assist on Black’s shorthanded winner, scored late in the third period. The 20 year old raced the length of the ice in pursuit of a cleared puck, forced a turnover behind the Centennial net and put the puck in front for Black. The Chiefs got solid goaltending from both keepers. Aidan Pelino started against
Powell River, stopping 21 of 24 shots. Mitchell Datz sparkled against Merritt, turning aside 33 of 34 shots. One sour note saw Mason Boh rocked by a big neutral zone in the Powell River game. The Colorado native was helped off the ice, didn’t return and didn’t play against Merritt. He could miss more action. The Chiefs are back in action this weekend with a divisional home-and-home against the Surrey Eagles. Chilliwack visits Surrey Friday and hosts the rematch Saturday night. Puck drop at 7 p.m. See chilliwackchiefs.net or bchl.ca

Glimmer of hope for Huskers (6-2) Saturday. For the first time this season the Huskers outgained an opponent in net yards. “We out played them huge but got stopped four times in the redzone,” said head coach Adam Smith. “We came away with no points. That killed us.” Turnovers also hurt the Huskers, who coughed up three fumbles and two interceptions. Quarterback Dylan La Prairie had his second best game of the year yardage wise, completing 14 of 30 passes for 276 yards. Tyron Ledingham led the pass catchers with seven catches and

Chiefs rival finds new coach The Vernon Vipers went back to the future for their new head coach and director of hockey operations. Mark Ferner guided the Vipers to back-toback Royal Bank wins in 2009-10. Said Viper president and governor Duncan Wray: “After reviewing several extremely well qualified candidates, the file that kept coming up to the top of the pile was Mark’s. He is familiar with the organization, has worked closely with both Todd Miller and Kevin Kraus and will therefore fit seamlessly into the program.” Speculation of a second stint in Vernon began on Sept. 8 when Jason Williamson vacated
his post as bench boss and GM of the Snakes, citing personal reasons. Ferner led the Vipers to three consecutive B.C. Hockey League championships and two consecutive national junior A championships between 2007 and 2011. Ferner, hired as head coach of the Everett Silvertips in July of 2011 and fired in January of 2013, joined the Blazers as an associate coach in August 2013. He started this WHL season alongside head coach Don Hay. “Their [the Vipers] owner [Duncan Wray] called me and asked permission to talk to Mark about 10 days ago,”
Kamloops Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner told Kamloops This Week on Monday. “I never really heard anything about it until yesterday. They offered the job and he was interested. His house and family are in Vernon.” “I wanna coach,” said Ferner. “The situation in Kamloops was good, it really was, working with Donny. But in all reality, there was no chance of me being a head coach there which I understand and I accepted. Craig Bonner and I had that discussion and he agreed. Ferner ran his first practice Monday at Kal Tire Place, shaking hands and chatting with players between fast-paced drills.
The new head coach didn’t even know who his captain was. “It’s a unique situation because I don’t know the players and they don’t know who I am or what I’m all about so we’re going to grow together,” said a beaming Ferner, 49, who inherits a young team with 16 new faces. “It’s gonna be a fun year with some ups and downs. Practice is where we’re gonna get better,” he said. “We just kept things simple today, but tomorrow, we’ll start working on systems and by the time Friday rolls around, we’ll be a better team. I told them we’re going to have some long days here.” See bchl.ca
As the 2014-15 Chilliwack Chiefs season gets underway, here are some important dates to remember. A Nov. 23 home game against the Salmon Arm will be $6 Sunday and all Sunday and Wednesday home games this season will feature $3 hot dogs and pops. Dec. 28 is ‘Fill the Rink For the Food Bank’ night. Tickets will be $6 apiece with a food bank donation. See chilliwackchiefs.net for info on the latest game night promotions.

Clay benefits from Olympian mentor Dan Kinvig, Black Press Discussing the composition of the Canadian men’s gymnastics team for the upcoming World Championships, Ken Ikeda beams like a proud papa. Canada’s seven-member men’s team features three members of Abbotsford’s Twisters Gymnastics Club – veteran Ikeda, and World Championship rookies Robert Watson and Zachary Clay. Twisters has sent multiple men to the World Championships before – Ikeda’s older brother Richard was a national-team mainstay during his competitive career, which overlapped with Ken’s – but this is the first time three locals have gone to the Worlds together. And it’s a phenomenal achievement. “It’s huge,” Ikeda enthused. “Not a lot of clubs can do that – it’s pretty rare, especially with a seven-man team. “I’m on my way out – I’m still doing good stuff, and I’m still going to be around for a few years. But to see the next generation coming up and doing well, that’s really nice for me to see.” Ikeda, a 32-year-old former Olympian who attended the Summer Games in 2004 (Athens) and 2008 (Beijing, as an alternate), is the oldest member of the Canadian team. At the other end of the age spectrum is Clay, a 19-year-old Chilliwack native. He cracked the roster thanks in large part to a solid showing at the Commonwealth Games, held in Edinburgh, Scotland in July, where he helped the Canadian men to a bronze medal in the team event. Clay also excelled at the 2014 Canadian Championships, finishing first on the pommel horse and second on parallel bars. He was named to the Worlds team two weeks ago, following the Pan American Championships in Toronto, and he was utterly ecstatic. “I want to place in an event (at Worlds) – probably pommel,” Clay said with a smile, acknowledging that he’ll probably battle some nerves in China. “I know it’ll be really hard to do, but if I can hit my routines, maybe I can come in the top 10.”

these guys (Clay and Watson) would be training,” he said. “At the same time, the skills that are in my routines, I already have a lot of experience in. I already have that good base to start from, so I don’t really need to be doing a lot of numbers, as many as, say, Zachary.” Ikeda’s continued presence on the national team is a boon to clubmates Clay and Watson, who have access to a tremendous source of wisdom as they head to their first Worlds. “I’m actually really happy that Ken’s coming, because he can give me a few tips about what to expect and do and whatnot,” Clay said.

Watson, just one year older than Clay at age 20, will also be making his World Championship debut. The Port Coquitlam native joined Twisters just over a year ago in order to train under Richard Ikeda, and he broke through onto the senior national team. He’s the reigning national all-around champion, and his 13th-place result in the all-around was the top Canadian finish at the Pan Am Championships. “I was really excited to be chosen to be part of the (Worlds) team,” Watson said. “I’ve been to a few big meets before, so I’ll be able to keep my composure. But it’s going to be really exciting to go out there and try to help the team. “For me, it’s all about hitting all six of my routines, staying consistent and clean.” While Clay and Watson will both compete in all six events at Worlds, Ken Ikeda’s program will be limited to the pommel horse, parallel bars and high bar. He would typically be competing on the vault as well, but he’s recovering from an ankle/foot injury suffered at the national championships. On the vault, Ikeda landed off the mat and “pretty much destroyed” his right ankle and fractured a bone in his foot. But he’s recovered to the point where he should be able to stick his landings on the bar events at Worlds. At this stage of his career, Ikeda is older than the average gymnast, but he noted that 30-somethings aren’t as much an anomaly on the international scene as they once were. “I can’t train six days a week, the same way
“I’ve really looked up to him.” For his par t, Ikeda’s advice for the youngsters is not to approach the World Championship stage with any undue reverence. “This is a big year for them, and I think they can handle it,” he said. “They’re training really hard every day and they’re able to hit these routines like it’s nothing. “They just have to do the exact same thing they do every day and not worry that this is the World Championships. It’s just another competition, like any other international meet they’ve done this year.”

SAVICH, Steven Micheal April 19, 1993 - September 17, 2014 Steven Micheal Savich – kid brother, loyal son, cherished friend, train enthusiast, tractor fanatic and hardest worker any of us ever knew died quickly and peacefully September 17, 2014 after his courageous and inspiring year-long battle against leukemia. Steven was born April 19, 1993, the youngest of the Savich family; Michelle and William made sure to teach him all their bad habits, and Mike and Sandra were thrilled. As Steven learned, much as the youngest always does, he started learning his own way. Steven borrowed from Michelle’s brains, William’s ingenuity, dad’s dedication and mom’s quiet demeanor to show he was the best of all worlds. That mixed solidified Steven’s role as dad’s little helper and all around good guy. A soft, gentle but forceful soul- Steven became Mr. Reliable and Mr.Go-To for everything and anyone, and if he could not find a way, he made a way. From that early age right to the very end, everyone always knew Steven could be counted on as a helping hand, a listening ear, hired muscle or a genius idea. During his school years he found a real calling and passion building sets, and taking on the “behind-the-scene” logistics with his best friend Kyle. Those two were inseparable, and even after graduation they were approached to continue their work, which, they were more then happy to do so. Steven, not to ever be out done by his sister, worked hard and graduated from the French Immersion program at Sardis Secondary in 2011, and never to be outdone by his brother he won every major service and dedication award available. After grade 12 Steven found an extension of his passions working in the construction business, taking on and learning from every experience he could. Steven was a kid of passion. Whether it be his trains, real and model, or tractors, construction or just getting outside and getting dirty, he never cared what anyone else thought about his hobbies and past times, he always remained true to himself. Steven is predeceased by his mother Sandra Savich, grandpa Larry Brandow, and grandparents Harry and Nellie Savich. He leaves behind his father Mike Savich, sister Michelle and brother William, as well as many other close friends, extended family, colleagues and beloved pets.
