Fire leaves family homeless No one injured in Monday morning blaze

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

A Chilliwack family was displaced Monday after their rental home went up in flames on Maitland Avenue.

Chilliwack Fire Department firefighters were on scene at about 9:30 a.m. to knock down the fire which may have started on the porch.

Two residents, a man and a woman, managed to escape to safety out the back exit without injury. The house was almost completely destroyed.

The male resident told fire officials he tried to put out the blaze with a fire extinguisher, but it was already too large and too involved.

The tenants had no fire insurance, but the property owner did.

Emergency Social Services were dispatched to offer emergency accommodations, food and clothing for the family. Four children were in school at the time of the fire.

“Fortunately the incident occurred in the morning and not at night and no one was hurt. It could have had a different outcome.”

The cause of the fire is unknown, but is not considered suspicious. No injuries were reported. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Chilliwack to get vehicle charging stations Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

The future is almost here.

Chilliwack residents and visitors will one day soon be able to recharge an electric car or scooter for free at new charging stations.

“We’re pretty excited,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “This is laying the groundwork for a new technology. We all want to know that we’re leaving a softer footprint.”

Battery-powered electric vehicles create zero tailpipe emissions.

Electronic charging stations are

scheduled to be installed by the end of March at Chilliwack City Hall, and at Tourism Chilliwack on Luckakuck Way With the new infrastructure, Chilliwack will be plugging into an electronic charging network in B.C. of more than 500 stations.

“What they’re saying with this project is they want to create a charging network so motorists can drive with confidence in the knowledge they’re not going to run out of electricity,” said Gaetz. “Good on them for getting the jump on this.”

With air quality such a big topic

in the region, it makes sense to head in this direction, said Marion Robinson, manager of Fraser Basin Council in the Fraser Valley.

“If we don’t provide the infrastructure, they won’t buy the vehicles.”

The Chilliwack mayor said she’s already heard from a Vancouver resident looking forward to plugging in to the new stations.

The total cost for the charging equipment is $26000. Of that, $12000 came from a Community Charging Infrastructure fund, while Chilliwack’s share of the purchase and installation costs is $14000.

The Tourism Chilliwack station will be ideal for vehicles coming off the highway and for traffic from Heritage Park, according to city staff. The City Hall site will have two plug-ins, one for electric scooters and wheelchairs, and the other for vehicles.

The pilot project envisions a province-wide network of up to 570 electric vehicle charging stations, accessible at no charge to the public or fleets through a new $2.74 million Community Charging Infrastructure Fund.

Metro may burn special waste at new incinerator Jeff Nagel Black Press

A planned new waste-to-energy plant for Metro Vancouver might burn not just regular garbage but also special wastes that are now shipped out of B.C. That’s the thinking of some Metro directors who argue an advanced new plant might be able to handle dangerous hospital waste, foreign waste from cruise ships or airlines and maybe even oil-contaminated soils or other materials.

“If we can deal with special waste in a state-of-the-art incinerator that would be a smart move to make,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan argued at Metro’s waste committee Thursday.

He said it wouldn’t make sense to keep trucking special waste to

Alberta – emitting more carbon with each trip – if it can be handled here.

“I know we’re trucking out thousands and thousands of tonnes of soil with oil contained in it,” Corrigan said.

Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt also likes the idea of looking beyond municipal solid waste to see if a new incinerator can end the need to export special waste elsewhere.

“I think we should be dealing with our waste in our own region instead of putting it off to somebody else,” he said.

The idea was raised as Metro directors agreed they need 370,000 tonnes per year of new waste-toenergy capacity after the region stops trucking waste to the Cache Creek Landfill in 2016.

That would be the minimum size of the new waste-to-energy

plant – about 30 per cent bigger than the existing incinerator in south Burnaby but less than the 500,000 tonnes per year Metro officials previously envisioned.

But it could be bigger if the region decides it could take more fuel from other sources, possibly garbage from communities on Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast or Fraser Valley.

Corrigan said building in some extra capacity now may be cheaper and more efficient than having to expand later.

That talk worries directors like Vancouver’s Andrea Reimer, who wants to keep Metro’s disposal capacity as low as possible on the basis much more recycling will be possible.

The 370,000-tonne size is based on waste-flow projections and assumes Metro Vancouver’s popu-

lation will grow to 3.4 million by 2040 and that each resident generates 10 per cent less garbage by 2020.

It also counts on the region hitting its 70 per cent waste diversion target by 2020 – up from 55 per cent now – although officials warn a higher recycling goal of 80 per cent may prove impossible.

Directors also decided the plant must be publicly owned, which could allow a Metro partnership with a local city and a private developer/operator, but not one where the company owns and profits directly from the sale of energy.

There’s been talk before the plant could go to New Westminster, Burnaby, Surrey or the Tsawwassen First Nation within Metro, or to out-of-region sites like Gold River or Powell River, solving the air pollution concerns

Local dancer featured on new APTN show Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Cultus Lake will be shimmering in the background of an upcoming episode of the new APTN show, Warrior Games.

A film crew and cast were shooting scenes lakeside with local hoop dancer Gary Abbott and the show host last week.

The show follows the gung-ho host as he tries to master a traditional indigenous sport in each community they visit.

Warrior Games host/producer Steve Sxwithul’txw is from Penelakut Tribe of the Coast Salish Nation, and says he’s never tried any of the sports before in his life.

“Physically it’s been quite demanding,” the 47-year-old host tells The Progress, on a break from shooting at Main Beach.

From some fierce stickball down south, to the Metis Games in Ontario, and Whitehorse later this winter, it’s been a huge journey for Sxwithul’txw.

He can now appreciate one thing for sure: the hoop dance is not just a dance.

“It’s something a lot more personal. It can reference portions of your life and showcase your lifestyle; your very being.”

“It’s about transitioning through the forms into something beautiful.”

He tried the eagle, tornado, horse, and his favourite, the butterfly.

Hoop dancing as it turns out, is deeply personal.

That’s definitely how it is for Abbott, who has been hoop dancing for 23 years.

Every dancer tells a different story, he says.

One of his favourite moves is when he makes ‘the world’ with

eight hoops, then flies around, forms the eagle and then jumps back into the world.

“My story is the story of life, and that’s the death part. It’s all part of the great circle of life.”

He admits he doesn’t practise much any more, and focuses more on men’s fancy dance these days.

But he did so intensively in the early years of striving to master what he calls “the story dance.”

“The hoop dance requires a huge amount of dedication, and focus and training.”

It takes a series of precise and fluid movements to transition smoothly from one form into the next.

“You have to know where everything is at all times, and you have to practise all the time to master

the hoops.”

For the show host, he’s been enjoying the fruits of his labours.

“It’s been a lot of fun. I get to learn from some of the best and Gary is the best in the business around here.

“The highlight for me obviously has been working with youth, and talking to the elders for the feedback they have on these sports, because you have to carry it the right way in your community.”

Warrior Games is directed by April Butler, the series producer is Barry Gray, while executive producer is Patti Poskitt.

“Steve has been learning a lot,” said Gray.

“He picks up the basics of the sport and then each episode builds up to him demonstrating those

skills.

“The idea is to show the kids that even someone past their prime can do it. Motivating youth to stay active is a huge element.”

They’re forging a link to a rich cultural past, while at the same time, promoting healthier lifestyles today.

“It’s a chance for us to showcase Indigenous games to First Nations across Canada and the U.S., learn from the past about what was really important to our tribes, and educate the youth in a fun and meaningful way,” added Sxwithul’txw.

The new APTN show will be broadcast in the Fall 2013, and the website should go live soon with more details at www.warriorgames.ca

A Chilliwack food processing mill on Simpson Road was the site of a “problematic” fire Sunday night.

It took 35 firefighters from four different fire halls about an hour to fight the blaze, said assistant fire chief James MacDonald of the Chillliwack Fire Department.

More than 30 cardboard totes caught fire outside the building in the 44000-block, before the fire spread to the material between the walls of the facility.

“The fire did extend to the metal clad building and proved difficult to extinguish, with fire trapped within the walls,” said MacDonald.

The large totes were filled with processed “granola” cereal, which the flames consumed quickly, he said.

Crews had to cut holes in the walls to extinguish the flames, so additional personnel were called on-scene as backup.

“It was problematic getting at the fire.”

There were no injuries reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

of opponents in the Fraser Valley.

But the regional district is far from choosing a site.

Metro will ask land owners interested in hosting the plant to step forward next year and would make the list public next September.

A decision on locating it inside or outside the region wouldn’t come until at least mid-2014.

Meanwhile, Metro aims to short list six waste-to-energy firms capable of building the plant and then winnow that further to three finalists who would be evaluated based on their technologies and sites.

The winner would be picked in 2015 and the environmental assessment and permitting would take until late 2016 before construction could start.

The plant wouldn’t open until late 2018.

Part of the long timeline is to allow extensive consultations with the Fraser Valley and any other affected communities.

Hunt said the “extreme” timeline is unavoidable but added he doesn’t like pushing the final decision beyond the 2014 civic elections, when a new board might unravel the project.

The wait doesn’t sit well with Covanta Energy, the operator of the Burnaby incinerator that has been working since 2007 to build a new incinerator at the former Gold River pulp mill and hoped for a speedier decision.

“The timing is a disappointment,” Covanta vice-president Christopher Baker said.

Other firms that are likely proponents include U.S.based Wheelabrator Technologies Inc., which is owned by Waste Management Inc. and has partnered with Urbaser of Spain, as well as Vancouver’s Aquilini Renewal Energy, which has had site talks with the Tsawwassen First Nation.

More than a dozen other firms were informally sur veyed by Metro this summer and most intend to propose alternative technologies other than conventional mass burn incineration.

Five incineration firms told Metro they’ve already secured undisclosed sites – one within Metro and four outside the region – while two alt-tech firms said they are looking at possible in-region sites.

The bridge tolls for us all

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Last week, Transportation Minister Mary Polak announced tolls for the new Port Mann Bridge would be half price for the first year, and free for the first week.

Given that a provincial election is coming up next May, and that tolls are a hot button issue for most residents who live south of the Fraser, the provincial government is looking for ways to sugar coat what is a very bitter pill to many — particularly those who use the bridge as part of a regular commute.

A reduced toll until the project is complete would not be overly popular, but would likely be reluctantly accepted by many residents.

Whether it will be enough to convince them to give votes to BC Liberal candidates next May remains to be seen.

There is really no alternative to a toll bridge. Whether or not tolling is expanded in the Lower Mainland, which would at least provide more fairness, the Port Mann project is costing in the neighbourhood of $3 billion. Without tolling, the cost of that project will be picked up through general taxation.

The B.C. government is struggling to balance its budget, despite the carbon tax, property purchase tax, casino and lottery revenue, Medical Service plan premiums, BC Hydro and ICBC dividends and an HST that was voted out of existence but still remains. It clearly has had minimal success in reining in spending.

While there are areas where the government has wasted tax dollars, as all governments do, the fact is that B.C. is a fast-growing province, with a huge proportion of older residents who need expensive health care, and many new Canadians who also require specialized government services. The province, when it announced the Port Mann project back in 2006, was counting on continued economic growth to boost the economy and make the tolls less noticeable.

The tolls were not considered to be much of an issue back then, perhaps because many people were enjoying rising incomes and prosperity. Those days are over for now, and the tolls will soon be with us. ~ Black Press

Fraser Valley Regional District plans ahead

If you’re going to invest in the future development of a region, have a plan. Have something solid, understandable, and workable. For sure, not everyone will agree with it but at least the plan will be a guiderail to move development forward coherently. It also gives those opposed a focal point on which to base objections or, more constructively, improvements.

Recently the Fraser Valley Regional District issued its draft plan “A Bylaw to Adopt an Official Community Plan for Electoral Area “E” (Chilliwack River Valley, Columbia Valley and most of the land surrounding Cultus Lake) and the public is now pitching its opinions, good or bad, in response.

The region is home to almost 3,500 people and is visited by about 2 million people annually. No wonder. This is a place that inspires passion, a sense of freedom, a

chance to rejuvenate, an opportunity to get away from urban pressures, and a region within a reasonable distance from Vancouver making day trips to the area easy and affordable.

Its natural beauty with lakes, rivers, valleys, mountains, trails (for hiking, biking, and riding), farms, Margaret and quiet country roads not to menEVANS tion the opportunity for farm gate produce is a Mecca for everyone in pursuit of recreational activity.

And there are plenty of great restaurants to enjoy at the end of the day. It’s a stunning place to live and work and, equally important, it is a region rich in archaeological, sacred, and historical sites for First

Nations people. Why wouldn’t – or shouldn’t - the summer crowds come?

Any kind of development is going to be met with a plethora of opinion. Development in a place like this will be a flashpoint to shield it from environment harm, line of sight visuals, unacceptable encroachment by the trappings of mundane urban life, or resource extraction deemed inappropriate and potentially harmful.

Some don’t want a leaf touched.

Others look at development and say “Bring it on!”

For development, the region has its fundamental challenges, none the least of which are road capacity, water quality protection, and sewage disposal. While for most of the year roads can handle local traffic, from the Victoria Day weekend through to Labour Day roads become increasingly inadequate to

handle the volume of tourists.

But as much as the Community Plan looks at accommodating the needs of an increasing numbers of tourists, it also focuses on the shifts in development to meet the needs and values of the residents.

People living in the Columbia Valley have identified needs to expand farming opportunities, more flexible land uses, greater economic opportunities, and alternative housing options. As the demographics change, so a wider mix of agricultural and housing options may be needed. The plan encourages the expansion of agritourism for additional farm gate income. Expansion of bed and breakfast facilities is also an option.

The Chilliwack River Valley “is rich in recreational, environmental and economic values that are easily accessible to the large population of the Fraser Valley and

Metro Vancouver.” It’s a multiple use region with residential homes, correctional facilities, logging, aggregate operations and a host of different year-round recreational activities. But it’s vulnerable to overuse, seasonal heavy traffic, the chronic problem of illegal garbage dumping, illegal parking and camping, threat of forest fires, and the potential for flooding, rock falls and rockslides.

The community plan’s recommendation for a management strategy is both timely and sensible. It offers ways to move development forward that is logical, sustainable, and meets the growing needs of an agricultural and recreational area.

Some won’t like it. But managed growth is the only way forward for a region that is one of the Fraser Valley’s hottest recreational spots.

Changes for bluegrass festival?

A family tradition of ours, going back to 2001, has been to attend the Chilliwack Bluegrass Festival.

Our family parks its trailers on the gravel lot, awnings facing each other, creating an arena of fun, eats and family togetherness. We eagerly await the placement of our lawn chairs in just the right spot, usually just to the left of the stage.

When the first mandolin string is plucked and the banjo is strummed, we all fall into that zone of contentment that reminds us of the days gone past and the joy of once again being front and centre for what we think is the very best music festival anywhere.

Imagine our disappointment to learn that the 2012 Chilliwack Bluegrass Festival, on its 25th anni-

versary, could be the last. We heard from the organizers that the City of Chilliwack and/or the Arts Council itself, has decided that the festival should not be housed in the Red Barns any longer. We also heard that if the Festival were held there again, it would have a very different feel – a beer and wine garden would be added to the adjacent food area.

And lastly we also heard that the camping would be removed from the gravel parking lot and relocated to some other far away location.

The Chilliwack Bluegrass Festival is amazing because it is about family. We feel akin to the performers and volunteers as we would to our own family. There is an air of openness, friendliness and fun that would be ruined if beer

and wine were available in the barn.

Losing the camping from right outside the barns would be terrible as well. In a nutshell, we simply would not return.

We believe strongly that our voice and opinion on this is not ours alone. Everyone we talked to agree with what we’ve written out above. Greed of more profit from beer and wine, and losing the camping, would eliminate every value the Chilliwack Bluegrass Festival has cultivated and preserved over the years.

We hope the Arts Council and the City of Chilliwack will reconsider its plans for the Festival and ensure its values are preserved for another 25 years.

Faster commute not worth the life of a child I am writing you about a very serious problem in our community.

For some reason people think that they do not have to stop for the school bus when it is stopped and the lights are flashing! I find this

unbelievable! Not only is it against the law ($167 fine) but it endangers our children! Just in case you need a reminder, the law requires you to stop in both directions regardless of what side of the road you think the chil-

dren will be going.

Personally our family has suffered the loss of the life because someone couldn’t be bothered to stop for a school bus.

I can’t believe the blatant disregard that some people have for the lives

of others by passing school buses illegally.

Please obey the law for the sake of our children! Are you willing to take the life of a child to save one minute in your commute?

Bringing in the hops Greg Knill

The Progress It was once a dominant crop in Chilliwack, bringing seasonal work to thousands and creating a lifestyle that seeped through generations.

Today, the hop yards that characterized the local landscape until the late ’90s are only a memory.

But that’s beginning to change. At the top of a sunsoaked hill in a quiet corner of the Columbia Valley, Chris Sartori is nearing the end of his sixth season growing hops.

His property, Sartori Cedar Ranch, has attracted the attention of brewmasters and beer enthusiasts from across the country. They’ve come to one of the few places in Canada where they can find that critical component for their beer – an ingredient that gives it taste and aroma, character and complexity.

Hops have been used in beer for centuries. Their bitterness helps counter the sweetness of the malt, while giving the beverage that unique beer-like bouquet.

For over a century Chilliwack was the centre of hop production in Canada.

Andreas Sartori, brother to Chris Sartori, uses a machete to cut down hop vines at Sartori Cedar Ranch in the Columbia Valley. Chris Sartori plants At one time, two large about 12 acres of the crop, a key ingredient in beer.

A man checks the stability of a hydro pole after the driver of this Toyota Echo rammed into it at Main Street and Kipp Avenue at about 9 a.m. Thursday. Witnesses say the driver fled the scene. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Power was knocked out in a section of downtown Thursday morning, including the Chilliwack Law Courts, after an out-of-control vehicle plowed into a power pole at the corner

of Main Street and Kipp Avenue.

It’s not clear how the driver did what he did, and he didn’t stick around to answer questions.

Though the front end of his grey Toyota Echo was badly crumpled, the driver was able to leap out and take

A witness said he was wearing white shoes, blue jeans and a white T-shirt and appeared to be carrying something wrapped up in a sweater.

The car hit the pole shortly after 9 a.m. with enough force to spray debris across the intersection. The impact was heard blocks away. Three metallic pieces from a green garbage receptacle were laying on the sidewalk, near the bus bench that sits in front of the old Safeway grocery store.

No one appears to have been struck by the flying debris.

Seconds before the car hit the pole, a pedestrian got out of the way by ducking into the adjacent Baker-Newby Law building.

Police say one person is in custody, facing charges.

Why fall is the time to tackle invasive plant problems The crisp days of fall will soon be here, but a long dry summer has left many homeowners looking out on lawns and gardens overtaken with invasive weeds and vines. A yard full of these noxious plants is sure to make it difficult to enjoy the cooler outdoor temperatures.

Gordon Wilson of G. Wilson Construction says that the new owners of this Point Grey house lived in the area and had always admired the home. However, the property was overgrown so they needed a lot of professional help to restore it to its former glory. Martin Knowles photo

Bringing new life to a run-down home G. Wilson Construction works with architect Sean Ruf to restore a house from 1932.

By Maggie Calloway What do you do when you buy a fantastic one-acre lot in a prime area of Point Grey which comes complete with a very large home? What if the house hasn’t been updated for scores of years, if in fact nature is trying it’s best to take back the land by sending saplings and various botanical specimens through any crack she can find including a tree growing out of

a couch on the top floor? You make the decision to strip back the house to its bones and rebuild if you are the client of G. Wilson Construction!

“This home of approximately 5,000 square feet was originally built by the grandfather of the woman from whom the house and property was purchased; she had lived in the house her whole life, so it had been in the same family since it was built in 1932,” says Wilson. “The house was designed by the same team that designed the Marine Building, McCarter & Nairne and located in what must have been countryside at the time.”

The footprint of the house stayed the same and the exterior of the building was not changed. A few areas had to be rebuilt

and some of the dormers were rotten but they were rebuilt to be identical to the originals.

“Our clients lived in the area and used to walk by this house a lot, and always admired the house. The house was obviously in disrepair with old cars in the driveway, the property was overgrown and the roof was rotten but they felt there was something charming about it and they could just see what it could become,” Wilson says. “We originally walked through the house, which was a disaster but we could see passed it and saw the house was basically straight and it had stood the test of time. The interior needed

Come home to natural gas Natural gas offers comfort, convenience and value Your home is perhaps your most important investment.

It costs money to maintain it, and needs energy to run it. By choosing the right energy for the right use, you can maximize energy efficiency and value for your energy dollars.

Natural gas is a good choice for heating, whether it’s hot water for a shower or warmth from the furnace or fireplace. It’s also great for barbecuing burgers on the patio.

And, with the variety of stylish natural gas appliances and rebates available, upgrading your appliances to natural gas is more affordable. Find energy efficiency rebates that meet your needs at fortisbc.com/offers.

Natural gas makes your summers seem endless A natural gas barbecue never runs out of fuel. If you have a natural gas patio heater or fire pit, you can stay outside long after summer‘s over. And when that blustery storm hits, you can stay warm and well fed with a natural gas fireplace and range. Both will continue working during a power outage.

For comfort, convenience and value balance your home’s energy mix with natural gas. Visit fortisbc.com/gasisgood to watch our video on how natural gas fits into your everyday life.

Choices to fit your life Stylish, convenient natural gas appliances increase the comfort of your home, indoors and out. Find out more about energy efficient appliances at fortisbc.com/gasappliances.

Furnaces and boilers

Fireplaces

Heating systems provide even warmth and comfort throughout the home.

Fireplaces provide ambience and cosy warmth. An outdoor fireplace, firepit or patio heater can extend summer evenings.

Cooktops, ovens and ranges

Chefs prefer natural gas for instant heat, a variable flame and precise temperature control.

Barbecues

With a quick connect you’ll never lift a propane tank or worry about running out of fuel.

Dryers

Natural gas dryers heat up instantly and dry your clothes with gentle warmth.

Let energy saving start with a rebate

Backup power

A natural gas generator can power your lights, electronics and fridge during a power outage.

major work including electrical and plumbing to bring it up to code but with the exception of ... some of the rooms (being) opened up to bring in more light and to create larger rooms, the layout remained the same.”

The house has three floors, with the bedrooms on the top floor and some in the typical old unfinished basement of the era which had lower ceilings.

“No question it was a challenge, 5,000 square feet of a complete gut job and renovation and the clients wanted to take residence in eight months,” says Wilson. “A further surprise was the clients decided they wanted the basement lowered three feet to make it usable, all in the same eight months. The approach we take on a project this size, after we have documented every detail, is to remove everything that can be reused, repaired or salvaged. Anything we didn’t reuse which still had some life in it was donated.”

They took down all the light fixtures and sent to them off to storage. The beautiful front staircase was completely covered with plywood to protect it from any damage. The fireplaces were protected in place and a few other features were removed and catalogued.

All the interior doors and hardware were removed and stored. When

that was done they went in and completely gutted the house right down to the studs.

“We then brought in the structural engineers and they went through what was required to bring the house up to twenty-first century standards,” Wilson says.

“Next we removed all the electrical wiring and all the plumbing. All the mechanics were removed including a big old boiler in the basement covered in asbestos.”

Once the house was rewired, replumbed and all new mechanics installed it was on to the good stuff.

The kitchen is very modern but really works. The kitchen is one of the areas of the house where walls were removed to create a larger space. The old kitchen, dinette and dining room became the new kitchen and dining room.

“Sean (Ruf), the architect, did an amazing job bringing the house up to the twenty-first century but at the same time leaving the timeless elegance of the era,” Wilson says. “Even in the kitchen, which is very modern, the hardware on the doors is the original and it just looks fantastic next to this streamlined room.”

Well done to all who worked on this project and the owners who fell in love and had the sensibility to see past the surface and were willing to invest.

Making your home appealing A competitive housing market means you need to take a good look at what you need to do to make your home more saleable.

By Maggie Calloway Once you make the decision to put your house on the market you enter into a parallel universe. No longer should you think of your house as the family home but instead as a product to be sold in a very competitive market. This is the time to put the home’s best foot forward.

One of the first things you should do is sit down with the whole family and make a plan.

Every member of the household needs to take a look at their private space, usually their bedroom, and get rid of every single item they are not using or that has outlived its usefulness. In other words, de-clutter. Remove posters from walls and debris from the floor, and organize closets and bookshelves.

Once the whole house has been given a major clean-out, go around the house and make note of walls, or full rooms, which need a fresh coat of paint. Every hole and nick on every wall should be filled before painting; you

need to achieve a perfect finish. Check door and window casings and the doors themselves for chips and repair each one before painting; you don’t want to send a message to a prospective buyer that your home has been neglected, which will get them wondering else is lurking behind the walls. Your prospective buyer should feel your house has been loved.

Floors need to meet the same standard. If your kitchen and/or bathroom floor is worn or stained, replace it. Carpets, rugs and drapes should be professionally cleaned and windows cleaned both inside and out.

“Right now a seller is in a very competitive market, especially in Vancouver. Buyers are reacting against over-inflated pricing,” says Ron Sowden, CEO of home staging company Dekora. “We are finding that homes which are well-presented and realistically priced are selling quickly; sellers who are pricing to last years market are having a harder time because that market is over now.

“ from page.13 representing the manufacturers, formulators and distributors of pesticide and fertilizer products.

"This is the best time of year to eliminate invasive plants," Hobbs adds. "Weeds move the products of photosynthesis like water, glucose and oxygen to their roots for winter food storage in the fall, enabling the roots to soak up herbicides as well." Two to three treatments are usually all that is needed to completely destroy these types of plants.

Effective herbicide options exist for every type of weed and vine.

Herbicides are tested for potential human health and environmental impact before they can be registered and sold for use. As with all pesticides, users should always read labels and use and store products accordingly.

With just one or two follow-up treatments after an initial fall herbicide application, invasive plants are eradicated at the root, and people can take back their lawns and gardens to enjoy the beauty of fall.

“ from page.18 There is a bit of a stand-offin the market with buyers not willing to pay inflated prices and sellers not willing to lower the asking price.”

It makes sense in this market to do everything you can to stand out. There is a school of thought that says a buyer makes a decision in the first 20 seconds as to whether the house appeals to them or not. If this is the case, your prospective buyer isn’t even in the house yet.

“People are very attached to their homes but they need to step outside their emotions and see the house as potential buyers,” says Sowden. “This is not their home anymore but an asset

Weeds like dandelions, crabgrass and clover easily tolerate hot temperatures and dry soil, overtaking lawns and gardens and lingering throughout the cooler fall months.

Ivy and other aggressive vines thrive in the summer heat, climbing and covering bushes and trees and ultimately killing the plants underneath with their shade.

Left untreated, invasive plants can quickly become health and safety hazards, damaging homes and outdoor living spaces.

Common grass weeds like nettles and thistles sting and prick the skin, and contact with some types of unwanted plants can cause moderate to severe allergic reactions in almost all people.

"Fall herbicide treatments are the most effective way to eliminate unattractive and potentially harmful plants from lawns and gardens so that those spaces can be enjoyed throughout the cool fall months," says Aaron Hobbs, president of RISE (Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment), a American organization

Chiefs hammer Eagles in home opener Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

It’s been a long time.

There was a five year BCHL hiatus and then another year spent toiling in the Interior conference.

During that stretch, one of the great junior A rivalries was extinguished.

A pair of preseason games helped a bit. Familiarity breeds contempt, as they say.

But it was two regular season games last weekend that finally did it.

You could sense it in the third period of Saturday night’s game between the Chilliwack Chiefs and Surrey Eagles, won 4-2

by Chilliwack at Prospera Centre.

First Chilliwack’s Brodyn Neilson dropped the mitts for a brief tussle with Surrey’s Beau Orser.

A couple shifts later, Shay Laurent went barreling into the Surrey net, drawing special attention from Eagles D-man Devon Toews and nearly instigating a line brawl.

In isolation, those were just two moments in a game, with no special significance.

But with context, those were two signs that the Chiefs and Eagles are regaining the mutual loathing and animosity that made their rivalry so fun.

“I hate every team I play against, really,” said Chiefs forward Spencer Graboski.

“It’s our house. We stood our ground and kicked the crap out of them in it. Those guys didn’t want much to do with us tonight.”

Rivalries can bring out the best in players, and maybe that’s why Graboski had one of his best games in recent memory. The Quesnel kid led the offence with a goal and assist as his Chiefs scored more than two for the first time this season.

After a scoreless first peri-

od, the goals came fast and furious in the second.

Chilliwack scored three in less than four minutes.

Graboski got it started at 1:26, striking from the high slot with a hot shot over the glove of Eagles netminder Glenn Ferguson.

“I’m pretty sure it was Shay who made a good pass out of the corner and I just found a little open space upstairs,” Graboski explained. “I wasn’t really aiming, but we’ll say I meant to shoot it there.”

With the crowd still buzzing, newly minted captain David Thompson set up Luke Esposito at 3:57.

The rookie from Greenwich, Connecticut, skated through the goalmouth, collected the rebound from Thompson’s point shot and popped it past Ferguson for his first BCHL goal.

Graboski had a hand in the third Chilliwack goal, scored at 5:22 by Tanner Cochrane. Graboski drove around Surrey Eagle defender Dan O’Keefe before shoveling the puck into the blue paint. Crease crashing Cochrane poked the rebound past Ferguson.

“I found a little room on the outside and Cochrane made a good play driving to

the net,” Graboski said. “An assist is just as good as a goal in my books and it was good to see him finish it off.”

Eagles coach Matt Erhart called timeout to settle his team down, and things got dicey for a few minutes.

The Eagles came back in waves and got on the board at 11:24 on a goal

by Brett Mulcahy. The Kelowna native benefited from a bounce, with an Eric Chevrier point shot hopping off the end boards and back in front.

Mulcahy snuck the puck between Gillam and the short-side post to cut into the Chilliwack lead.

But Josh Hansen scored a timely tally with 1:09 remaining in the middle frame to send the Chiefs to the break with a 4-1 lead.

Chiefs goaltender Mitch Gillam came up with a big stop to start the third period, thwarting Brandon Morley as he cut across the crease.

Later, he stretched post to post to keep Surrey’s Chris Tracy at bay. Drew Best scored with 36 seconds left in the final frame, but otherwise, there was never a sense Chilliwack’s lead was in danger.

night, it was nice to see the team lock it down.

“We tried to play smart hockey, chip pucks out and chip pucks in,” Graboski said. “Gilly played great as always, and it was just a good, solid win.”

Chilliwack is now 2-1-01, looking ahead to a light weekend that includes just one game. The Victoria Grizzlies are in town for a Saturday night tilt that starts at 7 p.m. ● The Chiefs have named David Thompson their captain for 2012-13. Austin Plevy and Josh Hansen will act as alternates.

Arie Nakagawa.

Defensively, the Huskers held an opponent under 50 points, something they’ve not done since week two.

They faced the Rams in week three and lost 66-8.

Last week, they coughed up 85 points to the Vancouver Island Raiders.

They still yielded a ton of yards, with Langley putting up 426 yards of net offence.

The Rams got 284 on

the ground, with Kyle Albertini rolling up 139 yards on just nine carries.

Albertini had two rushing touchdowns.

Belanger, Daniel Xavier and Nick Downey also scoring running majors.

Langley had 146 yards through the air.

Quarterback Greg Bowcott threw one touchdown toss, hooking up with Malcolm Williams.

On the bright side, Sidhu, Kris Bush and

Jordan Milankovics all hit the stats sheet with fumble recoveries.

If you’re looking for signs of progress, they were there. Still, the team remains winless in 2012 and the possibility of three consecutive 0-10 seasons looks more and more likely with every passing week.

If there is any more good news, it’s that Chilliwack’s remaining schedule is heavy on home games.

Three of the last four are in the friendly confines of Exhibition Stadium, starting with next Saturday’s game against Victoria’s Westshore Rebles (2 p.m. kickoff).

The team travels to Kamloops the following week, then plays the last two at home against the Okanagan Sun (Oct. 6) and Kamloops Broncos (Oct. 13).

Charger defenders Paige Owens, Calista Ballantine and Jaiden Andries kept things clean in front of goaltender Katrina Brown, while midfielders Summer Dejager and Grace Bisson gave the offence a kickstart.

It was Bisson drawing the Chargers even, scoring off a corner kick to knot the score at 2-2.

United briefly regained the lead, but Charger forwards Carmen Bonnar, Sara Dyck, Sydneigh Schofield and Olivia Hochstetter wouldn’t stop buzzing. Bonnar scored late to make the final 3-3.

When you’re 0-6, you take your victories where you can get them.

Even though the Chilliwack Huskers lost badly, 45-7, to the Langley Rams Saturday afternoon, there were a couple positives to cling to.

The Huskers did find the endzone for the first time in three weeks.

It was the defence scoring the points, with Jerry Sidhu intercepting a Cecil Belanger pass and taking it 60 yards to paydirt.

The Chilliwack offence continued its run of inept play, generating just 54 net yards (including -1 yard in the second half).

The ground game was nonexistent.

les each. Cornerbacks Trey Walsh and Austin Creasy spent their day knocking down Barsby pass attempts. Captain Tristan Davis played a great game at safety, with several tackles and great coverage.

The defensive line stuffed the Barsby ground game in the first half with Elijah Schellenberg and Braydon Winger leading a stout front.

“I was pleasantly surprised at how physical and tenacious our defense played,” Smith said. “Barsby is known for being the tough-

est team in the province, and we were in that game when all the starters for both teams played.”

The Grizzlies start their regular season with an away game at Mission next Wednesday, taking on the No. 2 ranked Roadrunners. GWG is home for the first time on Sept. 27 (6 p.m.), welcoming the No. 5 ranked Robert Bateman Timberwolves to Exhibition Stadium.

RITCHIE Robert (Bob) Hume

Passed away peacefully on March 3, 2012 at the age of 91 in Ontario of Alzheimer â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

His sister, RITCHIE daughter and son were with him offering comfort.

He was predeceased by his wife Marion Ritchie (Haryett) last year and will be lovingly remembered by his sister Marguerite Ritchie (Ottawa); daughter, Lynn Kongkham (Newmarket, ON); and son, Lance (Anita) Ritchie (Moncton, NB).
