Two men arrested in ‘targeted’ robbery
■ P OULTRY F ANCIERS
Possible link between carjacking, armed home invasion A Chilliwack RCMP officer suffered minor injures while pursuing a stolen vehicle that police believe was linked to an earlier home invasion on Saturday. Both incidents are under investigation. But this is what police are releasing so far. Early Saturday evening RCMP received multiple calls to the 10000 block of Brentwood Drive after suspects were seen wielding a firearm. The males entered a home and demanded money from the occupant at gunpoint. Shortly after, police say, a truck was stolen by gunpoint in the 94000 block of Coote Street. RCMP were able to locate the vehicle, sparking a pursuit. During the chase a police vehicle was struck and the officer inside injured. One person was taken into custody at the scene, another was arrested Monday afternoon on Portage Ave. No names have been released. “We are still investigating both incidents,” said Cst. Ashley St. Germaine. “It is believed, at this time, that these incidents are related.” Police also said they believe the incidents were targeted. The Chilliwack RCMP Serious Crimes Unit has conduct of both investigations. In an effort to protect the integrity of the investigations, police say they won’t be releasing any further details. Anyone with any information regarding this incident is asked to contact Chilliwack RCMP at 604792-4611. They can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

De Jaeger set for 2015 federal election run Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Louis De Jaeger was acclaimed Monday night in Chilliwack as the federal Liberal candidate for the new Chilliwack-Hope riding. “What I see before me is hope,” De Jaeger told the crowd, as he stood at the podium to thank supporters and friends at the candidate nomination meeting held at his restaurant, Bravo Restaurant and Lounge, on Yale Road. De Jaeger is a long-time business owner in Downtown Chilliwack, with 35 years in the hospitality industry. “My friends of political change,
together we know something is happening,” he said. “What we see in Justin Trudeau is what I see before me: hope.” He accepted the nomination to run as a candidate on the Liberal Party roster, but stressed his motivation was not for self-aggrandizing reasons or self interest. “I accept this nomination on behalf of my community because we want better representation, better involvement, and a better outcome in decisions which directly impact our environment and the land we leave our children,” De Jaeger said. He will be running in the 2015 election under the Liberal ban-

ner in the Chilliwack-Hope riding, which has recently had its borders re-drawn. De Jaeger grew up in a military family, and is proud of his Métis heritage. The local business owner is involved as a board member on the DT Chilliwack Business Improvement Association, and Sto:lo Community Futures, and member of Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, and chair of Chilliwack Barwatch. De Jaeger’s platform includes restoring Canada to be an “inclusive” society that cares about seniors, youth, veterans, as well one that cares about the thou-
sands of missing and murdered aboriginal women. “Canadians want a government that restores Canada to being the socially progressive leader the world looks up to,” he said. “Canadians want a government that is transparent and accountable working for the betterment of our society not for just corporate interests, but fostering entrepreneurship, and helps small businesses succeed.” He is active in the Sto:lo community, as served last summer as corporate liaison for the Spirit of the People Pow Wow.

Finding her place on the football field Eric Welsh The Progress An overcast day at Townsend Park and a mother sits in the stands with a smile on her face. On the field her child flies from sideline to sideline, making life miserable for the Meadow Ridge visitors. She makes a tackle and her coaches yell words of encouragement. A teammate helps her up and she’s back it on the next play, a whirling dervish in white and a marvelous sight for Charlene Groves-Vula. She has always been her daughter’s biggest supporter, and no one in the stands yells louder than she does. But even Charlene was never sure this day would come. This day. This sport. These teammates and for two hours on a Saturday afternoon, happiness. ❖❖❖
Fitting in. Belonging. Acceptance. Foreign concepts for eight-year-old Brooklynne GrovesVula through most of her life. She has autism. In most ways you wouldn’t know, because she’s ‘high functioning.’ But there are things about Brooklynne, things she says or does, that set her apart. She is easily overwhelmed and has trouble with discipline and self control. She struggles to focus on the task at hand and gets fidgety. In Grade 1, she couldn’t handle more than two hours, even with an education assistant prodding her to pay attention. When Brooklynne gets fidgety she starts talking. A lot. Using language that would make a roadraging trucker blush. “She has an older sister who’s 22,” says Charlene. “Brooklynne grew up with teenagers hanging around here, and she more than picked up their language. She mastered it completely. She can tell you things most adults would cringe to say.” In a world where children pick on you for the colour of your shoelaces, or anything else that doesn’t conform to the norm, Brooklynne’s ‘eccentricities’ have made her an easy and frequent target. Knowing her daughter’s difficulty making friends, Charlene was shocked when Brooklynne came home last year with a birthday party invite. So excited, Brooklynne hustled her mom out the door to buy a present and buzzed with anticipation all week. But, it turns out the birthday girl knew two children with the same name. On the big day, Brooklynne ran up the walkway and rang the doorbell. The door opened and the birthday girl stared at her, before delivering the most hurtful words. “Oh, you were the wrong Brooklynne!” the girl said. “I

didn’t want you to come!” Brooklynne cried and cried and was so devastated. “She thinks everyone hates her,” Charlene said. “They don’t hate her, but they don’t want to play with her.” For the first six years of Brooklynne’s life, her father was stuck overseas, trying to work out immigration issues in Kosovo. Charlene was left on her own. “Most people who saw Brooklynne in public would have thought that she was a very undisciplined and poorly parented child,” she said. “I know I’m not the best parent in the world, but I’m doing the very best I can. So for someone to judge my child as undisciplined and me as a poor parent, that really hurt my feelings.” Yet, for a long time, Charlene almost came to identify with the poor-parenting theory. Brooklynne wasn’t diagnosed until two years ago. Until then, Charlene was convinced there was something she was missing, something she was doing or not doing, that was causing all of these problems. All she needed was to try one more thing and everything would be better. “But at one point I took two months off work without pay because I couldn’t cope any more,” she said. “I would sit in a janitor’s closet and cry as the school phoned again to get me to come and pick up my daughter.” Charlene spent hours online researching intervention tactics,

adopting a ‘little rewards’ strategy to motivate Brooklynne. Do well at school and get a TimBit. Nothing huge, but enough to reinforce positive behaviours. “Provide little motivators all the time, and the positive behaviours become entrenched,” Charlene reasoned. “When she’s at home she gets marbles, which she can translate into TV time or computer time, or 10 cents apiece if she wants to save up and buy a Lego.” The strategy was yielding modest success when Brooklynne’s father finally won his battle with Immigration Canada and was allowed into the country in December of 2012. He arrived in Chilliwack with an Eastern European style of parenting, more of a rigid children-should-do-whatthey-are-told approach that didn’t work with Brooklynne. She also has oppositional defiant disorder — a general disdain for authority figures. Epic clashes followed. As Brooklynne and her father got to know each other and slowly learned to co-exist, Charlene’s neighbor, Alicia Walsh, came to her with a game-changing suggestion. Alicia’s son, Treyvon, grew up playing football, and she thought the structure and discipline would benefit Brooklynne. Charlene was hesitant, picturing in her head the oft-violent game she sometimes saw on TV. She was worried her daughter would get hurt. “Brooklynne? Hurt?” Alicia asked incredulously. It did seem laughable. The girl

was already four-foot-nine, packing 90 pounds onto a muscular, athletic frame. It was her future opponents who should have objected. The Chilliwack Minor Football registration fee of $160 made for a cheap gamble and Brooklynne was assigned to the atom White Giants and head coach Eric Sondervang. Before the first practice, Charlene spoke to the coaching staff (Sondervang, Mark Beck, Ken Redekop, James Bergin, Allan Grant, Scott Stoughton and Stem Ruetz), priming them for the adventure ahead. Charlene was worried Brooklynne would be overwhelmed by a new sport, new rules and the general chaos of young kids. Initially, she was right. Every time someone hit Brooklynne, she sprawled on the field, crying. She thought everyone who so much as brushed against her was doing it on purpose, trying to hurt her. She yelled and screamed and used every swear-word imaginable. “Then she’d come up to me after practice and tell me, ‘So and so is an a-----e! Did you see what he did? He knocked me down!” Charlene said. “I tried to explain to her that these kids were just doing their jobs, but she kept at it, until finally the coach asked me to stop hanging around. He pretty much told me to go away.” Brilliant move! With her mother exiled, Brooklynne stopped playing for attention and started playing.

And she was good. She was always a kid who thrived on touching, and could hurt you with a hug if you weren’t ready for her. Tracking down a ball carrier from her defensive end position, and bringing them down with boa constrictor-like tackles came naturally. Like her father, the coaches didn’t know how to handle Brooklynne at first. They took the opposite of his heavy-hand approach, letting her get away with too much. She was out there swearing and berating teammates. Once in a while she’d just wander off to roll on the ground while the coaches turned a blind eye. That changed from day one this year as the coaches quit the special treatment. “They no longer hesitate to holler at her like they do the other kids, and they address the swearing with her,” Charlene chuckled. “If she swears they yank her off the field, and she doesn’t play. When she swore at school she knew the consequences weren’t going to be too grave. She’d get sent home, which is what she really wanted. But with football, if she gets kicked out of practice she won’t get to play in the games. So she’s cut it out.” As Brooklynne has improved her focus and become a better player, she’s been rewarded with more playing time. As she’s terrorized opponents she’s gained confidence, all of which has translated into other areas of her life. A more focused Brooklynne is making strides in Grade 3. No longer does she require an education assistant 100 per cent of the time. It’s at 40 per cent and dropping. Most importantly, she’s finding acceptance among her peers. Among the White Giants she is a valued teammate. The only girl on the team, she still has her moments when she annoys the boys. But those moments are increasingly rare. “It might have been a cumulative effect with tutoring and counseling and her maturing, but it was definitely noticeable by fall of last year, and the only constant has been football,” Charlene said. “So I attribute a lot of the improvement to football. That’s how she identifies herself now. She builds a lot of her world around it.” The best news of all? Brooklynne got a birthday party invitation from one of her teammates last year. Again she trotted up the walkway and rang the bell with present in hand. But this time, no mistake with the invites and no tears. The door opened and a smiling boy welcomed her to his home. This time, she was the right Brooklynne. ❖

Gwendolyn Point will be the new chancellor of the University of the Fraser Valley. Point will take over from Dr. Brian Minter, who was UFV’s first Chancellor and served two terms stretching from 2008 to 2014. She will be installed as Chancellor at a ceremony in the coming months. The new chancellorelect has a connection to the Fraser Valley that stretches back decades. She started her engagement with what was then Fraser Valley College in the early 1980s when she and her husband Steven (former Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia and now a B.C. provincial court judge) took university-level courses there. From Fraser Valley College student to member of the University College of the Fraser Valley board of governors, to UFV assistant professor, Point’s career and educational journey has paralleled the development of UFV from college to university. Her experience as Chatelaine of the Province of British Columbia — the title given to the spouse of

the Lieutenant Governor — will serve her well when performing the ceremonial aspects of the UFV Chancellor role. The Chancellor is the ceremonial head of the University of the Fraser Valley and serves as a member of the Board of Governors and the Senate. Dr. Point will also preside over Convocation conferring UFV degrees, diplomas, and certificates, and serve as an ambassador for UFV at major events. The Chancellor is appointed by the UFV Board of Governors upon the recommendation of the Alumni Association and consultation with the UFV Senate. Currently, Point is an assistant professor in the
School of Social Work at UFV, and teaches First Nations Studies courses, including Sto:lo Nation Development, and Sto:lo Communications and World View. She will be resigning her position as a faculty member at UFV in order to take on the voluntary Chancellor role. Point brings extensive teaching and educational leadership experience, from elementary to postsecondary, to her new role, as well as extensive government experience from her work with provincial ministries and her service as Chatelaine of B.C. “It is a real honour to be asked and a privilege to take on this role,” said Point, a member of the

Skowkale First Nation who lives in Chilliwack. “I started my post-secondary education here and I was very grateful for the access it provided at the time. It was wonderful to not have to leave home to get an education. It was a very special experience when I returned here to teach full time in 2005. Now becoming Chancellor and playing a leadership role at UFV sends a message that dreams do come true and good things do happen.” She said that she will miss teaching and the opportunity it provided to pass on knowledge about Sto:lo culture and history to both Aboriginal and nonAboriginal students. “My grandmother told me that what you know has no value. It’s like sand in your hand unless you pass it on to others. I know that teaching the community about the Sto:lo people has made a difference and I really believe that it is an act of reconciliation. It is helping to create a better understanding of recent history. Every class, I would see a shift and transformation in the students.” Point added that becoming Chancellor will allow her to continue to provide leadership and mentorship to young people.

Support staff workers within the Chilliwack school district have ratified a new five-year agreement that provides them a 5.5 per cent wage increase over the life of the contract. The CUPE staff were among 3,800 support workers in eight school districts to ratify the new deal. The contract runs from July, 2014 to June 30, 2019, and offers the potential for additional increases if the B.C. economy exceeds the annual forecasts set by the Economic Forecast Council during the last four years of the agreement. Ratification of the new contract will come as welcome news to many local CUPE workers. Once the deal is ratified by the Chilliwack school board, CUPE employees within the district will be reimbursed for all scheduled hours that they were not paid during the BCTF strike. To date approximately 19,600 support staff workers in 44 school districts have fully ratified agreements in place. According to the education ministry, this represents about 57 per cent of the total support staff workers in B.C. school districts. The remaining districts are working to ratify agreements by November.

Fear and stigma
The Chilliwack

A Lower Mainland company is playing a small role in the battle against the newest health scourge that is tearing through Africa and threatens to spread elsewhere. Tekmira Pharmaceuticals has linked up with an international consortium that includes representatives of the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Medecins Sans Frontieres to advance its development of a vaccine for Ebola. Other companies are also working on vaccines. Some, including Tekmira’s, have reportedly already been used to treat patients, foreshortening the often long and arduous trials and regulatory approvals process. The need to stem the epidemic is that urgent. If the epidemic isn’t stopped, it could soon become endemic, a disease that will be forever entrenched in a region, ready to spread in a moment’s inattention. WHO estimates there could be 1.4 million cases of Ebola in West Africa by the end of January. Meantime, there has been only a trickle of volunteers among the medical community of the western world. The fear and stigma hearkens back to the early days of AIDS. “We talk about stigma and ignorance in Liberia, but let’s be frank, there’s plenty of stigma and ignorance in our own countries, and irrational fear of being on the ground. We have an obligation to counter that fear,” Sheldon Yett, the UNICEF country representative in Liberia, told the The Globe and Mail. Hopefully, more will have the courage to volunteer. When proper precautions are taken, there is very low risk among those working at Ebola treatment centres. Ebola is not an awful, frequently fatal disease. But we must act quickly and decisively, and not let fear prevent us tackling what could soon become the AIDS of our era. ~ Black Press
B.C. V IEWS
Oil is a slippery slope for civic politicians VICTORIA – Every year when B.C.’s municipal politicians get together to preach to the provincial cabinet, there comes a point in the maze of resolutions where things go sideways. Last year it was a misinformed, impossible demand to ban all traces of genetic engineering. Before that they thumbed their mobile phones and denounced wireless power meters. Both votes passed by narrow margins in a half-empty chamber, with many delegates focused on the serious community issues they are elected to address. This year it was a charge led by Burnaby to denounce the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion. And this time it was defeated. Credit for this sudden attack of common sense goes largely to North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring. Here’s part of his address to the recent Union of
B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are elected to handle things like roads and water and sewer and land use, police, fire, garbage. We’re not here to talk about social policy, child poverty or heaven forbid, pipelines. “Those kinds of things dilute Tom FLETCHER our credibility as an organization. We’re becoming a social policy activist group rather than a group of municipal politicians. “Half of this resolutions book is stuff that’s outside of our purview…. If you want to do social policy, get your butt elected to the provincial legislature.” Burnaby, New Westminster, Victoria and Vancouver were
undeterred. In tax-rich urban centres one can make a living at local politics. And grandstanding works. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow rattled off a jumbled history of refineries in his region, noting that the sole surviving Chevron plant is bringing in crude by trucks and trains because the 60-yearold pipeline is over-subscribed. He didn’t explain how stopping a pipeline upgrade would keep it open, or improve oil safety. Volkow repeated the protester myth that a new pipeline would introduce diluted bitumen to the coast. Trans Mountain started shipping dilbit in the late 1980s. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and others from along the Interior pipeline route pointed out another flaw. If southern cities want to wander outside their mandate to make this gesture, why target only this pipeline and ignore rail lines and highways that cross the

same rivers and streams? Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan boasted that after his first court challenge to the National Energy Board was tossed out, his highpriced eco-lawyer found a constitutional angle. Cha-ching! Meanwhile, professional protesters bike-lock their necks to the fence at Burnaby’s Westridge oil terminal, and a radical Simon Fraser University professor revives his Occupy Vancouver team to step up the ground war if courts falter. The comedy of all this was illustrated by Coun. Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle. Is that derived from organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? Cherbo assumes that Ottawa can simply direct Alberta’s oil
industry to start refining all the heavy oil there. Half a century into this industrial mega-project, this stuff should just be banned from pipelines. Peace, man. This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information. The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the U.S. It is by definition federal jurisdiction. NEB hearings on its expansion continue, with expert input, especially on shipping risks, from the B.C. government, Green MLA Andrew Weaver and others. Municipal politicians should pipe down and defend their own performance. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

ISIS demands strong response The speech by Justin Trudeau in the House of Commons regarding Canada’s participation in the fight against ISIS and global terrorism has to be an embarrassment to all true Canadians. The threat posed by the Muslim radical group ISIS is not a joke or something that can be dealt with by applying feel good measures. The ISIS organization controls or dominates an area of Iraq and Syria that is three times the size of the province of New
Brunswick and involves a population of approximately five million people. They have taken control of several oil fields and refineries and, if the reports are correct, are selling millions of dollars worth of oil on world markets. They rule by brutality and fear and the atrocities they have carried out on a monstrous scale are shocking. According to ISIS news releases, Canada is one of their targets. If Justin Trudeau had any
understanding of the magnitude of the ISIS threat he would be asking Prime Minister Stephen Harper to do more. This is a major issue with a host of complexities that Western nations must combat forcefully and in unison. I fear that if we do not take a very strong position now and ISIS continues to gain strength we may end up fighting for our very lives in the not too distant future. Jack Carradice Chilliwack
Prompt hospital service earns thanks Re: Chilliwack Hospital ER. People often complain about our health care system and hospital emergency in particular. But sometimes it works! Yesterday my doctor, fearing that I may have had a heart attack, send me to the ER for an EKG and blood work. My heart
was OK, but I had to wait for the results for the blood work. While waiting I was sent for a chest X-ray. Then I was seen by a doctor on duty who explained everything clearly to me. Again I had to wait for the results of the X-ray, but it wasn’t that long of a wait. I was out of there after
two hours. When you consider having tests and waiting for the results, that was not bad. Ever yone who saw me treated me with respect. I would like to say thank you to those people at the Chilliwack Hospital ER staff. Nancy Guitar

News employs 1,700 people in the Fort Nelson area alone, and can be maintained only by reaching Asian markets. The speech notes that Chinese LNG consump-
tion rose by a fifth in the first half of 2014. “This is a chance – not a windfall,” the speech notes, after one of the leading investment groups warned of shifting conditions that could delay its participation. Clark told reporters after the speech that talks continue with Petronas, leader of one of the largest of 15 current LNG proposals, with a pipeline and gas export facilities planned for the B.C. north coast. “We are good at negotiating in this government,” Clark said. “We’ve got a good record. We’re going to keep negotiating hard.” The government plans to table framework legislation this month to define the environmental standards and tax structure for the industry, which has more than a dozen international players considering LNG development. NDP leader John Horgan said it’s been a year since the government first promised a tax structure for LNG, and now with a deadline looming at of the end of October, Clark is trying to back away from 2013 election promises to retire B.C.’s debt and slash taxes based on LNG revenue. “I think we gave away our bargaining power when it comes to liquefied natural gas,” Horgan said. “Everyone in the sector knows that the premier is way out on a branch and made commitments that she cannot keep.” The speech described the recent six-year labour agreement with B.C. teachers after a strike that stretched from spring to the early weeks of the fall school term. “British Columbia can look forward to five years of labour peace,” the speech said. “This is unprecedented. We cannot let this opportunity pass.”

Chilliwack brews some Chilled Clarity Jennifer Feinberg The Progress They’ve got stage presence and some early evidence of songwriting chops to boot. Chilliwack band Chilled Clarity realized they were onto something when their music and merch started flying out to all corners of the globe last year. Now the band’s first CD since signing with AMP records is coming out, exploring the edges of modern grunge music. “We are calling the album ‘Six Pack’ because there will be six songs on it and Chilled Clarity is a fake brand of beer,” says guitarist and vocalist Bronsen Rasmussen. They’re getting ready for a CD release party on Oct. 17 at the Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver, and offering the new CD by donation. “It’s been a pretty great run so far,” says Rasmussen. The band’s bio says they’re: “armed and ready to rock the party!” But it’s not all about monetary gain, he adds. One of the songs they wrote, Shoulda Sold Out, was written after they didn’t win a battle of the bands contest. “We had the most votes, the loudest crowd and a show full of stage presence but we somehow still managed to lose,” wrote Rasmussen about the band’s experience competing for the title in Band Fight. “There was something we didn’t know (about why they didn’t win) and it frustrated us beyond belief.” In the end there was actually a decent take-away from the bittersweet experience. “There was something we didn’t sell out about, so we did what musicians do best,” Rasmussen says about writing the song. “Enjoy!” They’re using all the latest tools now to get some attention. “Through the power of social media, we got the word out really quickly and people as far away as Australia started ordering our disc online!” After shipping the earlier CD out to the U.S., U.K., Germany, Australia, the band caught the attention Phil Lehmann who took them under his wing as they worked on the single, Shoulda Sold Out. “They have a very electrifying live show presence,” says Lehmann, founder & CEO of AMP Records. Rasmussen says the band is pumped have a shared gig alongside their new buddies with Lucid Afterlife. Rasmussen will be joined by bandmates, Steve Knox on bass, and Josh Lauze on drums, and they’ll be one of five bands on stage Friday night at the Rickshaw in Vancouver. “It’s pay what you want. I guess I want opinions and to get music out there.” Here are some of the lyrics from Shoulda Sold Out: “Confused don’t wanna be used Don’t wanna be a second rate substitute Abused walking in these shoes Still stuck stumbling on these clues “Honorably undoubtedly insatiably availably Now I see that I could a sold out Laminated overrated isolated imitated And I debated that I should a sold out “Spent everything, went so insane Could a sold out then now it’s just a shame Looking for fame, no pain no gain Should a sold out then cause it’s all the same I should a sold out” The bands playing the Rickshaw Theatre Oct. 17 are Chilled Clarity, Lucid Afterlife, Contrasound, Elysium Echoes and Meridius. Doors at 7 p.m. Tickets $12.

Provocative puppetry It’s a part-human, part-puppet musical theatre experience, but it is definitely not a kids’ show. Vancouver’s Arts Club Theatre is bringing the three-time Tonywinning show, Avenue Q to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre for two exciting performances on October 10 and 11. Packed with puppet peer pressure, heavy drinking, and more political incorrectness than you would think possible, Avenue Q ain’t no Sesame Street, so be prepared for these wacky puppets to take you on a hysterical ride when this Broadway hit musical hits the stage. Bringing a whole new meaning to multicultural, Avenue Q follows the story of Princeton, a naïve young adult fresh out of college and brand new to New York, who is looking for
love, a job, and his purpose in life. Expect to experience, through the medium of puppet song and dance, the topics of failed childhood stardom, exotic dancing, fullpuppet nudity, excessive drinking, extreme puppet sex, homosexuality, puppet peer-pressure, racism, pornography and interspecies relationships, to name but a few, when you go for a stroll down Avenue Q. You’ll be howling with laughter when these characters say the unsayable, revel in their rowdiness, and help Princeton on an utterly bizarre journey of self-discovery. It’s bound to change how you see puppets forever. Avenue Q at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre Oct. 10/11, with tickets at 604-391-SHOW (7469) or visit chilliwackculturalcentre.ca www.prairiecoastequipment.com

Name that tune and help family literacy Melody Mayhem returns Oct. 18 The third annual Melody Mayhem will take place Saturday, Oct. 18 at the Tzeachten Hall, 45855 Promontory Road. This Fundraising event supports Chilliwack Community Services Family Literacy Program. Literacy is so much more than reading and writing. It’s a part of everyday life, reading a story, playing a game, singing a song, making a shopping list, following a recipe, and connecting with friends on the internet. Just reading the words is not enough to understand a credit card application, medication instruction,
or job application. Good reading skills allow you to think for yourself, and then make up your own mind about what’s best for you and your family. Family Literacy programs focus on parents as the means to improve the reading and writing skills of all family members. By reading to children and engaging in fun literacy activities, parents are actively keeping their own skills sharp. At the same time, they strengthen the relationship with their children which, in turn, encourage lifelong learning. The evening includes barbecue dinner provided by Guerilla Q and live entertainment by LB*4*LB. DJ Dave from DKX

Prep the yard for winter weather
A
s quickly as autumn weather arrives it seems to move aside for the blustery, cold days of winter. Winter can catch a person off guard and the seasons are now less predictable than ever.
It’s never too early to begin preparing your yard and outdoor living spaces for winter. Homeowners may be sad to bid farewell to the furniture and accessories of the fairweather season, but time is of the essence when prepping for impending ice and snow.
Clean patio furniture Give cushions and structures a thorough cleaning and allow to dry completely. Cleaning items before storing them for the winter saves time and energy next year when it’s time once again to set up the yard for recreation. If anything is damaged beyond repair, discard it and look for replacements during end-of-season sales when savings can be had.
Move things indoors The more items you can store in a safe and secure location the better. Load the garage, basement or storage shed with outdoor gear. Leaving items exposes them to the elements, and such exposure can cause rust, wear and damage. Flower pots and lawn ornaments also can blow around in winter wind or collapse under the weight of the snow, so collect these items and store them for the winter. Take out patio umbrellas and put them in the shed. If something is too large to move indoors, such as a barbecue or a pool filter, cover it with a durable tarp and secure it with rope.
Cover delicate trees Depending on where you live, certain fruit trees, may need to be covered for the winter. Covering protects them from freezing temperatures and helps ensure they will rebound in the spring. Tropical plants should be moved indoors where they can thrive in a heated home. Do not rip out chrysanthemum plants. Contrary to popular belief, these are not annuals. They will bloom again year after year if allowed to do so.
Remove water collectors Bring in or cover anything that may accumulate water, such as bird baths or kids’ toys. Water expands when frozen, and that means water trapped in any ceramic, glass or even plastic vessel can expand and cause the container to crack.
Clean up leaves and debris Piles of leaves not only can suffocate a lawn and cause discolouration, but also can be attractive homes for rodents and insects looking for a warm place to spend their winter. Keep your yard neat and clean to discourage wildlife from taking up residence.
Cover vegetable and flower beds After placing layers of recycled newsprint over planting beds, invest in some burlap to cover it all. This helps to keep the ground from freezing over and minimize weeds for next season.
Care for outdoor ponds If you have a pond on your property, remove any weeds around it and fish out any leaves from the water. Leaves will decay in the water and build up ammonia levels that can harm fish. If the pond is small, cover it for the winter. Also, start cutting back on feeding outdoor fish. These aquatic animals’ bodies begin to prepare for winter by slowing down metabolism. Continuing to feed them can harm the fish when the temperature drops.
Wrap up pool season It’s wise to close the pool and cover it before leaves start to drop. Otherwise you will have a hard time keeping the water clean.
Plant spring bulbs now Now is a good time to plan where you want to put spring bulbs. Once you have mapped things out, get the bulbs in the ground. Bulbs are relatively inexpensive and will provide that first punch of colour when winter finally skips town.

Understanding attic insulation Insulation is one of the best investments a homeowner can make, but too often people overlook insulation in favour of more eye-catching renovations.
I
nsulation is not something to be ignored, as it contributes to year-round comfort in the home while reducing energy costs along the way. In addition to making a home more comfortable, insulation also can buffer noise, making the home more peaceful. Insulation can reduce noises from outside the home as well as absorb sounds from inside.

According to the Energy Star program, you should add more insulation if the existing insulation is just level with or below the floor joists of your attic. If you cannot see any of the floor joists because the insulation is well above them, you probably have enough and adding more may not be cost-effective. In addition, check to see if the insulation is an even thickness across the entire attic. Sometimes it can be thicker in the middle and then thin out toward the eaves. Attic insulation is measured according to its R-Value, which measures the insulation's ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation. In many climates, the recommended level for homes is R-38. If you prefer more insulation, increase the R-Value. Insulation is made from different materials, including fiberglass, cellulose and rock wool. It comes in different forms. Rolls and batts are some of the more commonly used types of insulation. Loose-fill insulation is a loose insulation with no backing that is usually blown into a space. Rigid foam and foam-in-place insulation are additional types of insulation. The type of insulation used depends on where the insulation is needed and your budget. Certain materials are not applicable for particular uses, and typically insulation that provides a higher R-Value tends to be more expensive. Examine the cost-effectiveness of the type of insulation being considered before application. You also can mix and match insulations depending on the application.

Use higher R-Value insulation, such as spray foam, on exterior walls and in cathedral ceilings to get more insulation with less thickness. Make sure to have a professional apply spray foam insulation as it can be toxic if done incorrectly.

Install attic air barriers, such as wind baffles, along the entire attic eave to help ensure proper airflow from the soffit to the attic. Ventilation helps with moisture control and reduces summer cooling bills, but don’t ventilate your attic if you have insulation on the underside of the roof. Ask a qualified contractor for recommendations.

Did you know? Homeowners about to embark on home improvement projects should prioritize dust removal to avoid the potentially negative side effects of exposure to lead dust. When undergoing a renovation, homes built before 1978, the year the use of lead paint was banned, are likely to produce lead dust, which occurs when lead paint is sanded or chipped. That dust can be especially harmful to children, pregnant women and pets. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lead dust that is as small as a grain of sand is enough to poison children, who may suffer brain damage, hearing loss, nervous system and kidney damage, and decreased muscle and bone growth after exposure to lead dust. When pregnant women are exposed to lead dust, that exposure may affect the baby's cognitive development while increasing the mother's blood pressure. Household pets exposed to lead dust may suffer from a series of side effects, including vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and possibly death. When making renovations to their homes, homeowners can open windows and wear protective gear such as masks and safety goggles to avoid direct exposure to lead dust.

Budget-friendly bathroom transformation tips
• Professionally trained, bonded and insured staff
T
he allure of a spa-style bathroom is something few homeowners can resist. Such bathrooms can make for a welcome retreat after a long day at the office or an afternoon spent chasing kids around the yard. But as appealing as such a sanctuary may seem, the cost of creating a luxury washroom is more than many homeowners' budgets can withstand. Fortunately, a dream bathroom does not have to break the bank. In fact, there are several ways to make a bathroom worthy of the most comforting spa without stretching your budget.
• Equipment and supplies provided
If your idea of a luxury bathroom harkens back to a time before the advent of recessed medicine cabinets, then a wall-hung mirror can give the bathroom an entirely new feel without much of a financial commitment. Flush-mount mirrors need not require the services of a contractor, but they can provide a sense of elegance that recessed cabinets cannot.
Replace bathroom countertops
850-9647 (604) 792-6243
Abbotsford/Mission: (604) Chilliwack:
A countertop replacement job may sound expensive, but such an undertaking is not very costly in the washroom, where counter space is typically limited. Since the cost of countertop materials is by the square foot, you can replace bathroom surfaces for a relatively small amount of money. Granite countertops can be beautiful, but such surfaces do not create the warm feel that many prefer in a luxury bathroom. A material such as soapstone is warm and inexpensive and can quickly give the bathroom a new look.

Sleep is the Ultimate Luxury
Embrace calm colours
Painting the bathroom is another inexpensive way to give the room an entirely new look. If the walls of your washroom are currently a vibrant colour, consider a more calming tone to give the room the luxurious and relaxing feel you're aiming for. If your bathroom includes a claw foot tub, you also can make it a two-tone tub to add a touch of relaxing elegance. Paint the tub's exterior in a calming tone such as soft gray, and you will have transformed the washroom at little cost and even less effort.

But instead of a traditional vanity with a counter between the sinks, consider installing matching pedestal sinks to surround an antique washstand. This can give the washroom a feel of antique luxury, and such washstands can found for a few hundred dollars.

Though they are often overlooked, cabinet and door fixtures as well as towel racks can greatly influence the feel of a washroom. If the cabinet and drawer handles are old or outdated, replace them with more modern options. Such a job might be even more effective if you repaint or reface existing cabinetry. Neither task is terribly expensive, but both can give the washroom a more luxurious feel. The same goes for replacing old towel racks, which can be an eyesore if they’re especially dated. Transforming a bathroom may seem like a significant and costly undertaking, but savvy homeowners can give their washrooms a new and luxurious look without spending much money.

Get the 411 on flooring Choosing the right flooring for a home is no small task. The following are some of the more popular flooring options you will no doubt encounter as your search for a flawless floor begins.
Bamboo flooring is strong and able to resist the negative effects of fluctuating humidity, which include swelling and contraction. Many people prefer the fresh, bright feel of bamboo flooring.
Nearly everyone is familiar with hardwood floors, which are durable, warm and a favourite of homeowners aiming for a traditional look. Homes with open floor plans often benefit from hardwood flooring, as it creates the feeling of continuity that homeowners hope to achieve with open floor plans. Various species, including oak, maple and cherry, of hardwood flooring are available, and they typically vary in price, with more exotic imported options carrying hefty price tags. More traditional hardwood flooring is less expensive, and solid wood flooring can be refinished several times to increase its lifespan.
Laminate flooring is among the less expensive flooring materials to buy and install. Some feel laminate flooring is indistinguishable from real wood, but the plastic coating that makes up the top layer of laminate flooring is often a giveaway that the floors are laminate and not real wood. Similar in construction to engineered wood, laminate flooring differs because its top layer is a photographic imprint on the face of each board, whereas engineered wood is made up of real hardwood veneer attached to several layers of plywood.
Engineered wood is less susceptible to temperature changes and humidity than solid wood, and some new varieties of engineered wood include substrates made from recycled wood fiber and stone dust, which may appeal to eco-friendly homeowners. Homeowners who want to install their own floors may prefer engineered wood, which is now available in selflocking parquet or plank squares that can be installed without using glue or nails.
Cork is another sustainable flooring material that's a favourite among homeowners looking to make their homes more ecofriendly. The appearance of cork floors is unlike many flooring materials, as it is speckled thanks to unusual grain patterns of the trees from which it is harvested. Cork flooring is popular in kitchens and bathrooms because cork tiles have a naturally nonslip surface that makes areas of a home where floors get wet safer. Cork flooring may need to be resealed every few years to guard against stains and potential moisture issues.
Bamboo is another flooring alternative that's popular among eco-conscious homeowners, as it comes from plants that regenerate quickly and is therefore considered a sustainable material. Bamboo flooring is made of strands of bamboo that are glued together, forming engineered planks or solid strips.
Flooring choices vary greatly, and it's easy for homeowners to become overwhelmed by all of the options at their disposal. But taking time to understand each of those options can make the process of choosing a floor that much more fun.

Install low-flow water fixtures Low-flow water fixtures in a home saves both water and money. Low-flow water fixtures include toilets, shower heads and faucets, and such additions typically repay a homeowner’s initial investment in less than a year thanks to lower utility bills. A low-flow toilet is one that uses 1.6 gallons of water per flush or less, while low-flow faucets and showers are those that use 2.5 gallons of water per minute or less.

Weather stripping is a great way to reduce energy consumption while getting the most bang for your energy buck. Weather stripping is installed around windows and doors to seal any cracks or holes that develop over time. Such holes and cracks are more common in older homes, which is one reason that heating and cooling costs in such homes tend to be so much more expensive than those in newer homes. To determine if you need weather stripping, simply feel for drafts near doors and windows. If there is no wind or cold air outside, then place a fan or ask someone to hold a hair dryer near suspect doors and windows while you stand on the other side, feeling areas where you think there may be drafts.

Paint with a purpose Fall is a great time of year to paint around the house, as the weather outside is pleasant enough to open windows in the home so it can air out during and after the painting. When choosing paints for your home, opt for low-VOC, or volatile organic compound, paints. VOCs are a principal ingredient of ground-level ozone, which contributes to urban smog. VOCs also pose a considerable health risk, as studies have linked them to cancer, eye and throat irritation, headaches, and damage to the liver and nervous system.
Replace old light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights Thought replacing traditional incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents lights, or CFLs, is an easy task, that does not mean it’s ineffective. CFLs use just one-quarter the energy of incandescent alternatives. In addition, CFLs last longer, saving homeowners the inconvenience of replacing bulbs.

Alive Outside Hunting season means caution in the back country Whether you are a hunter or a hiker or both, the advent of yet another hunting season means it’s time to chat about firearm safety and awareness around open hunting areas. The backcountry surrounding our beautiful little city is blessed with abundant wildlife Sam and this WADDINGTON means that hunters are taking to the hills to stock their freezers for winter. However, as any hunter knows, a rifle needs to shoot accurately when the time comes, and thus most rifle owners are also heading to the hills to sight in their rifles and shake the dust off of their equipment. If you count yourself as one of these people then you should also be aware of where you are legally allowed to discharge your gun and how to ensure that we maintain a good relationship with hunters and non-hunters
alike over the next couple of months. A few reminders: Please review the Fraser Valley Special Area Hunting License to see where it is lawful to discharge your firearm. I know it must seem that all I harp on is the Chilliwack River Valley, and although this is true, my infatuation comes from my deep love of the place and the love that many other people have for it. Recently the vicepresident of the BC Search and Rescue Association, Colin Weibe, said, “I argue that (the) Chilliwack River Valley is likely one of the busiest recreation corridors in North America.” In light of this perspective I think that there are a few things that need to be addressed, most important on this list is that Chilliwack Lake Road, after it leaves the city limits, is technically a highway.

significant, you may ask? Well on highways there is an 800-metre no-firearm-discharge zone on either side of the blacktop, which means that in much of the Chilliwack River Valley is not only dangerous to discharge your rifle, it is also very illegal. Please choose your target range carefully, shoot only into a hillside and ensure that no trails are behind your shooting area. And most importantly, please pick up your casings and take your targets home with you. Please take the time to pack out even more garbage than you take in and do your part in keeping your fellow hunters and firearms users accountable. Hunters may get a bad name sometimes, however most are responsible and in fact many are the best and most adamant conservation benefactors and advocates.

Audiences were astounded by the most unbelievable of illusions during Vitaly’s last appearance, from paintbrushes coming to life, to Vitaly perform a daring escape using only his mind, and even people
disappearing from their own Drivers’ Licenses! These astonishing evenings of magic will take audiences on a mindboggling journey, leaving the real world behind. Vitaly tells us that he loved the experience just as much as our patrons! “I can’t wait to be back in Chilliwack! I enjoyed the great hospitality of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre as well as the dynamic and friendly audiences. It was also great to meet and chat with many of the fans after the show. What I like about the Rotary Hall Studio is its intimate, smaller nature, which is great for magic and illusion. Unlike larger venues it allows the audience to see the magic from up-close and it allows me to see them and their reaction. It’s a great venue for an interactive show!” Vitaly is especially excited to make a return to Chilliwack, not just because of the fun he had with our audiences last time, but to perform a show that he says only gets better and becomes fresher and more exciting every time it comes to stage! “The year has simply disappeared as I’ve been busy with many performances” he tells us. “Everything from theatre shows to various other events. Now, when I do not perform, I spend most of my time either inventing new illusions or improving the old ones. I find that some illusions are like wine, the more I perform them the better they become! And of course since 10-14W CCC8
the show is so interactive, and so much is up to the audience, it is always new, exciting and fresh. It is a lot of fun to involve people and let them be part of the show instead of having and audience just watch.” With his incredible skills as a master of illusion and desire to bring audiences into a realm of mystery, Vitaly effortlessly adds just a little magic into people’s everyday lives; a motivation that defines An Evening of Wonders, and makes the show so fantastic! ”I actually think that there is a human need to experience magic” Vitaly goes on. “I also think that it is a natural state of mind to see wonder in the world, everywhere we look. Children notice it; for them the world is filled with wonder, everything seems to be magical. However when we grow older, life sometimes becomes like a routine, and we start to take things for granted. Magic makes us feel like a child again. The “walls of the impossible” melt down and for a moment we feel free. For a moment, it is the “impossible” that feels like an illusion. And maybe it is!” Join Vitaly on his next adventure into the realm of the inconceivable when An Evening of Wonders returns by popular demand for a second show on October 19, 2014. He will blow your mind! An Evening of Wonders is generously sponsored by Fraser Valley Custom Printers, Royal Hotel Chilliwack, The Chilliwack Progress, City of Chilliwack, Department of Canadian Heritage, British Columbia Arts Council and The Province of British Columbia.

You’re terrified and humiliated and you assume no one will believe you if you tell them. So you don’t call police. Your response isn’t unusual. It’s a common scenario. Nine out of 10 women who are sexually assaulted in Canada each year will not report it to police. There reasons are plentiful. The majority of sexual assaults are perpetrated by someone the victim knows, so there may be compli-
cated relationship or family issues. Some victims fear retaliation from their attackers if they speak up, while others have dealt with the justice system before and have little faith they’ll be taken seriously. If an assault involved drugs or alcohol, a woman may not even realize she’s been victimized. And of course, there’s the overwhelming feeling of shame. Most women just want to forget it ever happened. “There’s nothing that ends a conversation more quickly than ‘I’ve been sexually assaulted.’ It’s just not something in society that we
talk about,� says Nancy Drewery, a community leader with the Surrey Women’s Centre’s (SWC) Surrey Mobile Assault Response Team. “Sexual assault is invisible.� A new campaign from the women’s centre aims to let victims know it’s okay to come forward. And they can do it anonymously. Even if a victim is too afraid to report an assault to police, they can talk to a community-based victim services worker without identifying themselves. The program is called Connect the Dots and involves a partnership with six other communitybased victim services programs in Langley, Maple Ridge, TriCities, Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack.
According to Drewery, so-called Third Party Reporting – an existing provincial policy allowing victims to make a report without giving their names – is simply not well known to women or police. Community workers can collect an array of information from someone who has been assaulted and pass that information on to police investigators, who can establish if there are any similarities or patterns between attacks or attackers. Seemingly small details – like whether a perpetrator had coarse hair or a unique tattoo or did or said something unusual – can end up being valuable information that can help identify an offender. “This isn’t about investigation,� said Drewery. “It’s about intelli-

gence collecting. It’s really about being able to catch serial predators by having MOs (modus operandi) that eventually, over time, potentially match.� Anonymous reports are only available for crimes involving sexual offences and women must be 19 or older. Drewery said often, once a woman begins to open up anonymously and myths about reporting sex assault are shattered, they’ll feel more comfortable and take the next step and file a police report. To learn more about anonymous sexual assault reporting, call their local community-based victim services program. To contact Surrey Women’s Centre, call 604583-1295.

Dentist Dr. Clayton Seidlitz & Dr. Damian Malinowski
QUESTION:Â
When should I bring my child in for her first dental visit? Â
ANSWER: This is a common question. The official guidelines of the Canadian Dental Association recommend that your child sees the dentist within 6 months of the eruption of his or her first tooth or by the age of 1 year.  Many children have their first visit much later than this so do not feel bad if they are older than this age. This first visit has three main objectives. The first is to familiarize your child with the dental environment and to provide a positive experience in the chair.  We want the dental office to become a place that children look forward to visiting. The second objective is to provide information.  The
dentist and dental staff are able to provide guidance regarding home care as well as diet.  This sets the stage for a lifetime of great dental health. The final objective is, of course, to examine your child’s teeth and mouth for any signs of disease or other problems.  We look for cavities but also examine the way that the teeth are coming in to the mouth.  We also look for any other abnormalities that could be present. With very young children the examination can be difficult but we do our best to keep the experience positive.  For some children the first visit may just be a ride in the chair with a plan to have a better look at his or her next visit unless there is an urgent concern. Your dentist can help you to have your child’s first visit be the best that it can be.

WISDOM TEETH
The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in a space that should hold only 28 teeth. These four teeth are your third molars, also known as “wisdom teeth.” Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth, usually by the age of 18. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and
even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. When they are partially erupted, the opening around the teeth allows bacteria to grow and will eventually cause an infection. In most cases, the removal of wisdom teeth is performed under local anesthesia, laughing gas (nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia) or general anesthesia. Our services are provided in an environment of optimum safety that utilizes modern monitoring equipment and staff who are experienced in anesthesia techniques.

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

The Chilliwack & District Real Estate Board marked its 50th anniversary with a special gift to the City of Chilliwack that highlights the board’s appreciation of the past and its confidence in the future. On Sept. 27 a legacy art sculpture was unveiled outside the Chilliwack Cultural Centre as part of CADREB’s 50th anniversary celebration. Entitled “Visions,” the piece allows viewers to imagine the past, present and future of the community. As they stand and peer into the copper-rimmed frames, they can imagine a picture of Chilliwack that includes their dreams. This piece is letting people put their own vision of Chilliwack’s future into the story frames, said CADREB president Jake Siemens, who presented the sculpture. This “Vision” gift is a celebration of the past that still looks to the future. On hand to accept the gift on behalf of the City of Chilliwack was Mayor Sharon Gaetz . Also at the unveiling was Chilliwack Cultural Centre Society vice-president Doug Vickers. CADREB and its members believe in the quality of life and believe that, “What is good for the community is good for real estate.” CADREB sees this sculpture as a contribution to move this vision forward. It is in this “Vision” that CADREB hopes to inspire others to envision a great future for Chilliwack.

Bantams battle Two former National Hockey League stars bring their minor hockey team to Chilliwack for this weekend’s International Challenge Cup bantam tournament. Joe Sakic and Adam Foote coach the Colorado Thunderbirds, the only American team in the field. The two men were longtime teammates on the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, winning Stanley Cup titles in 1996 and 2001. Both have a son playing on the T-Birds and they called Chilliwack tournament organizer Roger Huitema to see if their team could come. “I was like, ‘Uh, yeah, you’re in. I’ll find a spot for you, for sure,” Huitema laughed. “‘I don’t even know what your calibre is, but you’re in.’” Colorado will clash with their Chilliwack hosts Saturday night at Twin Rinks, with puck drop at 8:15 p.m. “All we ask is that everyone respects the privacy of these two former NHLers,” Huitmena cautioned. “They are coming as parents and coaches, and are not looking for the limelight at all, I am sure.” The tournament’s 16 team field includes six of the 10 projected top teams in Western Canada and is must-see viewing for scouts. Close to 80 talent evaluators filled the stands at last year’s tournament. Get more at cmha.goalline.ca

Bell’s tally salvages split
The Chilliwack Chiefs earned a tough road split in Prince George last weekend, going toeto-toe with their biggest Mainland division rival. The Chiefs and Spruce Kings clashed Friday night at the Prince George Coliseum.
some breathing room heading into the final frame. They needed it. Larson’s second of the game 3:06 into period three made it 5-4. Hanging on for dear life, the Spruce Kings got a desperately needed insurance goal at 14:32, off the stick of Justin Rai. Mitchell Datz went the distance in goal for Chilliwack, stopping 21 of 27 shots. Aidan Pelino took over for the Saturday rematch, backstopping his team to a 2-1 overtime win. Prince George’s Luedtke and Chilliwack’s Larson (shorthanded) traded regulation time
Chilliwack got off to a slow start. Stephen Penner, Jeremiah Luedtke and Matthew Stief staked the Sprucies to a 3-0 lead, with two of those snipes coming on the power play. The home team led 4-0 just 12 ticks into period two after a shorthanded tally by Chad Staley. But the Chiefs carried play for the rest of the night, making a game of it. Tipper Higgins notched his first BCHL goal at 5:04, and Jake Larson struck 47 seconds later. A power play goal by Craig Puffer got the Chiefs within one at 8:27, but Staley’s second of the game at 11:15 gave PG
goals. Rory Bell scored his first BCHL goal in dramatic fashion 4:44 into overtime as his Chiefs out-shot the Sprucies 38-24. Prince George (5-1-01) holds a narrow lead in the Mainland division, one point ahead of the Chiefs (5-1-0-0). The Langley Rivermen (2-3-0-1) are third followed by the Coquitlam Express (2-4-0-1) and Surrey Eagles (1-4-0-2). The Chiefs have a tough weekend ahead, hosting the Merritt Centennials Friday night at Prospera Centre (7 p.m.), followed by a trip to Vernon on Saturday. See bchl.ca for more.

Marauders ground Grizzlies
GW Graham’s varsity football squad fell to 2-2 with a tough road loss last Friday. The Grizzlies traveled to Pitt Meadows to take on the Marauders, losing by a single point,
STEP
27-26. “It was a tough hard fought game by both teams,” said GWG head coach Laurie Smith. “The Eastern conference really has four or five top-10 teams, and every game is a battle.” GWG running back Brett Westad posted his fourth straight 100 yard game, rolling up 144 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries (6.26 yards per carry). Wideout Treyvon Walsh caught five Terrell Sparvier passes
for 111 yards and a major. Sparvier completed 13 of 26 passes, but also threw three interceptions. Kirkland Kennedy led a swarming Grizzly defence with six-and-ahalf solo tackles. Linebacker Cainen Bergh added five tackles, with Grade 10 end Jaren Lengert recording a quarterback sack. The Grizzlies are home Friday night for a date with the Mission Roadrunners (7:30 p.m.)

Chilliwack’s Valley Huskers ended the 2014 BC Football Conference schedule with a loss, falling 48-17 to the playoff-bound Langley Rams.

The Rams led 10-3 through one quarter and 24-10 at half-time before finally pulling away.

They did so with a ground game that produced two 100 yard rushers. Jordan Traversy rolled up 154 yards on 14 carries with Nathan Lund also topping the century mark. Lund, Traversy and Jacob Patko each had rushing TDs. The Huskers got 100 yards from their running back, Benedict Muhima, with most of it coming on one carry. The shifty back
ripped off an 89 yard touchdown run, finishing with 103 yards on just three carries. In his final BCFC start, Chilliwack quarterback Dylan La Prairie completed 13 of 31 passes for 166 yards and a TD to Cody Vinish. Dan Erickson booted a 37 yard field goal. Sharif Ali led the Husker D with 10 solo tackles, with Daniel Mills adding an interception. See valleyhuskers.org

Sports Sweep for UFV golf It’s said that the only thing harder than winning a championship is defending it, and by that standard, what the University of the Fraser Valley golf teams accomplished on Sunday was extremely impressive. At the conclusion of the final tournament of the PacWest conference golf season – hosted by UBC Okanagan in Kelowna – the Cascades men’s and women’s teams both found themselves atop the cumulative rankings. It’s the second straight year that both UFV teams have won provincial gold, and the men’s streak of PacWest titles is now at three seasons and counting. “It means a lot, because it seems to get harder and harder every year,” enthused UFV golf coach Chris Bertram. “The competition in our conference is so good, but we keep getting better every year and we fight tooth and nail to get it done. It’s a credit to our players, both on the men’s and women’s side.” The Cascades men finished third at the
UBC-O tournament, combining for a score of 603 to finish behind the host Heat (580) and the Camosun Chargers (595). But that steady performance was more than enough to win – the UFV men held a 21-stroke lead on Camosun going into the finale, and they ended up winning the overall title by 13 strokes (2,381 to 2,394). Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls was the top Cascade on the weekend, finishing tied for sixth overall after carding rounds of 75 and 74. VIU’s Matt Haddad won the overall individual championship with a total score of 580, but UFV showed its depth by placing three players in the top five. Connor O’Dell (586) was second, Zach Olson (588) was third, and Pauls took fifth (590). Up next for the Cascades golf teams are the PING CCAA Golf National Championships, which run Oct. 14-17 in Quebec City. UFV is the defending champion on both the men’s and women’s sides.
