Still hope the FV Express will roll next September Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Disappointment in Chilliwack is lingering like a thick fog after Abbotsford council turned down the long-awaited Fraser Valley Express bus proposal in a split decision on Monday.

The new BC Transit bus route proposal requires agreement in principle from partnering municipalities including Chilliwack and Abbotsford to create the transit service area in each municipality. Chilliwack has already backed the plan, and so has the Fraser Valley

Regional District.

“From my perspective it’s about having patience,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz in reaction to Abbotsford’s decision.

“Three councillors felt they didn’t have enough information to vote for it.” She said she hopes staff can provide the missing details.

Given that 2014 is an election year, she added, city councils must be aware of fiscal realities.

“But from where I stand, it’s absolutely imperative we get this going as soon as we can,” said Gaetz.

Transit users from University

of the Fraser Valley have been actively lobbying for and eagerly awaiting a bus link between the cities.

“Chilliwack took that seriously, and I know Abbotsford did too,” said Gaetz.

There was hope the express bus could begin service in September 2014.

The matter is being brought back for reconsideration again next month at the Abbotsford mayor Bruce Banman’s request.

Chilliwack council approved the creation of the service area for the new express bus route from Chilliwack, to Abbotsford

and then to Langley.

“I think Abbotsford is assessing what is still in their coffers,” Gaetz said.

City of Chilliwack is putting away funds for the anticipated transit costs.

The total annual budget for the FV Express is $1,677,800.

Chilliwack’s 20 per cent share is $333,764, while Abbotsford’s 35 per cent portion is $588,236, and BC Transit’s is $755,800.

The municipal portions are based on assessed values of residential homes.

It could have been the brakes, steering, or load security that led to a ticket.

Half of the commercial vehicles targeted for inspection in early October required repairs before they were allowed to proceed.

Only six of the 46 inspected vehicles passed muster.

Vehicles were being checked by provincial inspectors at various spots across Chilliwack in a special safety campaign on Oct. 2-3.

Fourteen tickets were issued. It was a partnership between the City of Chilliwack Safer City Program, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement Branch (CVSE) and Chilliwack RCMP Traffic Services.

“Hundreds of commercial vehicles travel through Chilliwack on any given day,” said Samantha Piper, public safety specialist with the City of Chilliwack.

“The inspectors used their expertise to focus on vehicles that were not likely to pass an inspection.”

Items on the checklists included vehicles’ mechanical components and driver qualifications, brakes, tires, lights, steering, load security, driver licensing and fatigue levels.

While provincial inspectors were focused on commercial transport safety infractions, police officers were checking both commercial and passenger vehicles.

They also checked trailers to ensure cargo was properly secured and that any hazardous materials were being safely transported in accordance with provincial legislation.

Officers targeted 46 vehicles for full inspection.

Of that total, six passed with no defects, 17 required minor repairs to be completed at a later time, and 23 required repairs to be completed.

Walk-in clinic closure causes patient concern Katie Bartel The Progress The impending closure of a walkin clinic located at Promontory and Vedder has some in the community concerned.

Rodney J. Philippson, 75, learned on Monday the Doctors’ Satellite Medical Clinic would be closing Nov. 1 due to a shortage of doctors.

Philippson, a Promontory resident, said for him it would be more inconvenient to travel to the next nearest walk-in clinic located on Stevenson Road, but for people without access to a vehicle, it could be detrimental.

“By losing that clinic there, we’re going to be in a situation of hardship,” he said. “This is an area that covers quite a radius of people. We’re losing some valuable services.”

A regular at the walk-in clinic, Philippson said it’s so busy, it’s “standing room only” every time he goes in.

“When there’s a need for something, okay, there’s a shortage of doctors, let’s address it, let’s get down and look at the problem,” Philippson said.

Ken Becotte, executive director of the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice, agreed Chilliwack, like nearly every other community in Canada, does have a shortage of family physicians. And with Chilliwack’s

aging demographic, that shortage is likely to continue, he said.

“Part of it is the supply and demand aspect,” Becotte said. “Over the next 10 years, there will be a lot

more health issues.”

However, Chilliwack Division of Family Practice, a non-profit society representing Chilliwack’s general practitioners, is working to fill that

Sweet success for Sticky’s Candy Katie Bartel The Progress After 28 years in the Home Hardware business, Robin Burnette has hung up his tools in favour of a sweet tooth.

Burnette recently sold Logan’s Home Hardware in downtown Chilliwack to Rick Fortin, who owns Fortin’s and the Home Hardware outlet in Sardis.

For 28 years Burnette has either worked for head office or owned a retail outlet. It wasn’t easy walking away.

“I’ve been with it for a long time; it was painful to let go,” he said.

But with the influx of big box stores in Chilliwack, “crippling the downtown,” and watching his profits steadily decline, Burnette felt it was time for a change.

His side project, Sticky’s Candy, became that change.

Since opening the first Sticky’s in downtown Chilliwack, with partner Frank Efremjan, in 2011, the business has exploded like a pack of Pop Rocks in your mouth. They now own three

SINCE 1973

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED

shops in the Fraser Valley, have franchised five more stores since February of this year, and are projecting to have 20 by next fall, making them the largest independent candy chain in Canada.

Burnette doesn’t see that success crashing.

For a year and a half, prior to opening their first shop, the business partners researched candy to the nth degree. They travelled all over the U.S., visited over 100 different candy stores, attended the largest candy expo in Chicago, all the while building relationships with suppliers and other such candy mongers.

They built their shop with retro candy in mind, not wanting to compete with big business.

“We’ve hit a niche market,” he said. “Everybody has $5 to spend, and it’s a feel good atmosphere to bring your children in and show them the kinds of candy you ate as a child.”

Old sugary favourites – candy corn, Hot Lips, Fun Dip, BlowPop suckers, Pez dispensers, sour Warheads, and more – fill the shop’s shelves. There’s 91 different sodas, nearly 80 different chocolate bars from the

gap.

For two years, the division has been partnering with Fraser Health to operate a primary care clinic in the hospital that’s staffed mostly

United States and the UK, and blissful nostalgia in every nook and cranny you look.

“We’ve hit an age group from the 1940s up,” Burnette said.

“Our first store in Chilliwack quickly outpaced our expectations, so we decided to open another one in Langley, and then another in Maple Ridge. It wasn’t long after that people started asking to buy our business.”

They weren’t willing to sell, but they were open to franchising.

Since becoming a franchise in February, the business has attracted an impressive selfemployed crowd – young adults, mostly in their 30s and 40s, wanting to work for themselves.

Now, the owners have their sights set on total candy domination.

“I’d like to see close to 100 stores in Canada,” said Burnette.

“We’ve got to go hard. We’ve got to make sure no one comes against us.

“That’s what we’re doing.”

In Chilliwack, Sticky’s Candy is located on Wellington Ave. and Garrison Crossing. kbartel@theprogress.com

by nurses. Any patient leaving the hospital, who doesn’t have a family physician is referred to the clinic, and cared for there until they’re able to get into a proper doctor’s office.

Currently the clinic has 300-400 patients.

The division also operates a seniors’ clinic two days a week for patients referred for early diagnosis of dementia in the same location staffed by GPs specializing in geriatrics.

The goal, said Becotte, is to better provide the community with the health care services it requires.

Earlier this year, the B.C. Ministry of Health and B.C. Medical Association announced a new GP for Me initiative, which aims to provide every person in B.C. with a family physician if wanted. The initiative is an investment of $100.5 million, of which $60.5 million will go to Divisions of Family Practice for research and the development of a community plan on how to improve primary care in their respective communities.

In Chilliwack, a community survey will be conducted by Chilliwack Division of Family Practice in the next week or so to determine how and where residents are accessing health care services.

For more information on the survey, visit the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice Facebook page or follow them on Twitter at @gp4me.

Besler adds name to school board race Katie Bartel The Progress Ben Besler is leaving his partisan politics behind in his push for school trustee.

Besler announced Monday morning he’d be running for the vacant spot on Chilliwack school board in the Nov. 30 byelection.

Besler, a small business owner, has an extensive history with the BC Conservative Party and recently with the BC Liberal Party.

In 2009, he ran for MLA as a BC Conservative. He was also president of the Chilliwack chapter of the BC Conservative Party from 2009-2011, and vice president from 2011-2012. Earlier this year, he switched camps and became campaign director for John Martin’s run for Liberal MLA, and then vice president of the Chilliwack chapter of the BC Liberal Party.

But those affiliations, he said, have no place on school board.

“I’m happy to finally get out of the partisan politicking,” Besler told The Progress.

“I’m 100 per cent committed to keeping school board non-partisan.”

Something he believes has been an ongoing issue for the current board.

“You can’t get a lot done at this level if you start to create division,” he said.

“We should all just be able to put kids first and have that at the forefront of what we’re doing. It’s about the kids, it’s not about partisan affiliations.”

Besler has three daughters in the Chilliwack school Ben Besler system, one in kindergarten, one in Grade 3, and one in Grade 12. His middle child has autism.

In addition to running a small roofing business, Besler is a member of the school district’s Special Education Advisory Committee, a director for the Fraser Valley Child Development Centre, and member of the BC Partners in Education.

His campaign platform is focused on improving special education and fiscal responsibility.

Local cheesemaker to the European Union: ‘Bring it on’

1 Night Only!

Katie Bartel The Progress A local cheese producer is confident the quality of her cheese can stand up against loosened trade barriers between Canada and the European Union.

Debra Amrein-Boyes, cheesemaker and owner of The Farm House Natural Cheeses in Agassiz, doesn’t understand the panic surrounding last week’s unveiling of a trade agreement that would enable more European cheeses to enter Canada’s artisan cheese market.

An in-principle agreement has been made between the Canadian government and the European Union (EU) that, among other things, would allow for more than double the amount of European cheeses to enter the

Canadian market.

Currently 13,000 tonnes are allowed to be imported; with this agreement 29,000 tonnes would be allowed, which works out to approximately one pound of cheese per person.

The Dairy Farmers of Canada, which represents more than 12,500 farms, is vehemently opposed to the agreement arguing it would put small, Canadian cheesemakers out of business.

Amrein-Boyes disagrees.

Her family’s dairy farm is small, processing just 400,000 litres a year, compared to larger farms, which do that in a couple days. And yet, the competition doesn’t scare her.

“As long as we’re producing good, quality cheeses, I don’t see this negatively effecting our business at all,” said Amrein-Boyes.

Hardware for Old Yale

A fun fitness challenge

Coming to:

“If Canadian cheesemakers are not able to produce local, fine cheese then we will certainly suffer, but I believe consumers are already choosing locally made products for their quality.

“The market for quality local cheeses is only increasing, which, in my opinion, will in any case outweigh the sales in imported cheese.”

Amrein-Boyes feels the alarm bells have been sounded too loud and too soon. The trade agreement doesn’t go into effect for another two years.

“I just don’t understand the panic,” she said. “If the only reason we have a market in Canada is because there’s no competition, that doesn’t cut it. We have to have quality cheeses.”

Vancouver last Saturday.

They took second place in one of the most competitive categories, American Ale, as well as a third place finish for the robust Sasquatch Stout.

“We’re very happy about winning two awards at the BC Beer awards,” crowed brewery partner Jeremy Sibley.

Craft breweries in BC are on the rise across B.C. They’ve increased by about 50 per cent in the past few years and many of these brewers are making stellar beer.

“We are proud to be recognized as one of the best of the best,” said Sibley.

Old Yale brewmaster Larry Caza has been handcrafting the suds in Chilliwack since 2001, “well before craft beer was as popular as it is now,” he added. “He continues to brew some of the best beer in the province.”

Caza has demonstrated considerable skill in creating new recipes as evidenced by this summer’s Outta Wack Mango Wheat Ale and DOAle named after the proto-punk band DOA. “Very soon we will be releasing our IrishCream Stout in time for the cold weather.”

Caza also creates unique, small batch beers at #4-7965 Venture Place.

Whether it’s lux style, heavy-duty performance, safety or savings, we’re bringing you the best insight and offers each week in our new Driveway feature. (This week’s special section starts on page 21.)

Our local auto businesses are essential contributors to our economy and supporters of Chilliwack. In addition to custom stories, Driveway showcases what’s hot on the local lots plus parts and service offers.

I’m pleased to introduce our new Driveway Editor, Keith Morgan, who welcomes your input at keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca Carly Ferguson, Publisher, Chilliwack Progress

Keith Morgan Driveway Editor Today, we are excited to introduce Driveway – our new weekly automotive feature, designed to inform and entertain with brightly written stories from our Made in BC team.

Zack Spencer, co-host of Canada’s highest-rated auto show Driving Television and voice of a nationally syndicated radio show, will tell you

what is hot and not among the new models.

Women play a decision-making role in more than 80 percent of car purchases; Alexandra Straub will help them make the right decision.

In Near New, technical wizard Bob McHugh will pick out the best in ‘previously loved’ cars. Ian Harwood will join us soon with his column Just Trucks.

Senate push back

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The scandal over the Senate grows larger every. This week we’ve had stunning allegations from Senator Mike Duffy and his lawyer that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office knew a lot more about Duffy’s controversial expenses than the PM is admitting.

So far, these are only allegations, but there is a strong hint that Duffy has some evidence to back these claims, in the form of emails from the prime minister’s office (PMO).

The impetus for this extraordinary spectacle of a senator in disrepute taking aim at the prime minister who appointed him to the Senate is a move being pushed by the Conservatives (almost certainly crafted in the PMO). They want to take away the pay of Senators Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau — even though Duffy and Wallin, as yet, are facing no charges. Brazeau is facing charges in a domestic dispute, and has been suspended with pay from the Senate. His expenses are also in question, but he faces no charges on this matter yet.

While public opinion likely backs the suspension of the three senators’ pay, all of us, even senators in disrepute, deserve fair process. To take away the pay of senators who have been accused of wrongdoing in the media, who are under investigation but not facing any charges, is moving far too swiftly and sets a very bad precedent.

There may well be a case for suspending Brazeau’s pay, given that he is facing criminal charges, but for the moment Duffy and Wallin should have the right to confront their accusers head-on and sit in the Senate until charged with criminal offences.

The uproar over their expenses is legitimate, but it is not yet a criminal matter. Suspending their pay is a brazen attempt to try and take the heat off the prime minister, who appointed all three and campaigned on a platform of Senate reform.

The Conservatives and PMO cooked up a scheme which has come back to bite Harper in a very severe fashion. ~ Black Press

B.C. V IEWS

B.C. offshore oil spill study misinterpreted VICTORIA – The release of the B.C. government’s detailed study into oil spill response capability off the West Coast created the usual brief wave of media shock and horror.

This just in! If crude oil spilled in the Dixon Entrance, the stormtossed sea lane north of Haida Gwaii, the combined resources of Canadian and U.S. containment and collection response could only recover an estimated four per cent of it. And that’s in the summer!

The winter recovery rate would be more like three per cent.

Talk radio and website headlines set the narrative in minutes.

How could anyone even consider running oil tankers through that pristine B.C. coastal area? It’s crazy!

Here’s the big fact clearly stated in the study by U.S.-based Nuka Research and Planning Group,

and ignored by most of the media and public. There are hundreds of tankers filled with crude oil sailing through these stormy seas every year. It’s been going on since Alaska North Slope crude was developed in the 1970s.

Six of the seven oil spill simulations run by Nuka are based on Alaska Tom crude, because FLETCHER that’s overwhelmingly what has been shipped along B.C.’s North Coast for 40 years. This lack of crude oil spill response capability has existed the entire time, without a whisper of protest or media attention, even after the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster near the oil’s point of origin.

The current narrative, ham-

mered home by U.S.-controlled environmental groups and their aboriginal partners in the “Great Bear Rainforest,” is that only Canadian oil is a threat.

How much Alaska crude is shipped down the B.C. coast?

According to Nuka’s analysis, it’s currently about 38 million cubic metres each year. That’s enough to fill B.C. Place stadium to the roof – 15 times.

The Sier ra-GreenpeaceForestEthics-Dogwood gang, a sort of billionaire-bankrolled green Team America, has worked hard to promote the falsehood that “tar sands” oil is vastly worse than that nice fair-trade Alaska stuff. Their claims about acidity and abrasiveness of diluted bitumen didn’t hold up, and it’s still hotly contested whether the heavy oil in diluted bitumen would float, emulsify or sink in actual sea conditions.

The Chilliwack

Progress

When the federal government announced a study to determine what spilled bitumen would do in North Coast waters, that too was attacked by the Green Party as a secret scheme to prop up Enbridge’s pipeline proposal. So it’s a scandal when you don’t know the answers, and it’s a scandal when you try to find them.

Another question that gets little attention is whether it’s better for spilled oil to sink rather than wash up on beaches.

Crude oil is, if you’ll pardon the expression, organic. Spills produce a huge spike in oil-eating bacteria that leads to an increase in fish populations at a certain stage. This was documented in a 1994 book called <I>Degrees of Disaster</I>, written by an expert who stayed on in Valdez for four years, long after the TV cameras and grandstanding politicians went home.

Victoria-based Dogwood seized on a 2012 Nuka study done for the Haisla Nation at Kitimat, which found that in ocean conditions that are present more than half of the time, there would be no immediate way to respond to a spill at sea.

Dogwood’s “no tankers campaign director” hinted that this information was intentionally left out of the B.C. government study, and the media ate it up.

No tankers? Better check again.

Dogwood’s mission is clearly not to protect the B.C. coast from oil spills. If it were, they would be protesting the ongoing risk from Alaska tankers.

in the flow of traffic.

When a public hearing is held regarding rezoning that affects your neighborhood, you will have one chance to express your views in front of council, or by a written submission. When you get up in front of the microphone stating your concerns that the lot next to your house in a single family area has been given rezoning to build four homes, all looking directly into your kitchen window, it is suggested that you ‘talk to the developer’.

When you live across the street from a large project such as Webster’s or Lindy’s Landing, and

see healthy, free standing trees bulldozed in order to ‘build a better community,’ you wonder why you moved out from the Lower Mainland say, in order to witness such destruction.

Wake up, Chilliwack. Our streams are being filled in one development at a time. The developers who build these ‘better communities’ are not required to retain an adequate amount of the existing amenities such as walking/bike paths, green space and the retention of natural habitat for the owls and the fish. This is another side of the story.

Adrienne O’Shea,

Bullying has no place in the workplace Combating bullying has been a priority for our government, because bullying touches people of every age across our province. Since the first Pink Shirt Day, led by Premier Christy Clark, we’ve made it clear that bullying and harassment are unacceptable - at school and in the workplace.

This week is Healthy Workplace Week, so it’s important to think about

the role of mental health in the workplace. Many employers across B.C. already recognize that good mental health on the job means greater productivity, efficiency and creativity.

For employers who haven’t turned their attention to the topic, now is a great time to look at ways to prevent and address bullying and harassment that may exist in the workplace.

New WorkSafeBC requirements come into effect on Nov. 1, and WorkSafeBC has developed a great online tool kit to help employers, supervisors and workers.

The online tool kit will help them identify cases of bullying and harassment, and has practical prevention tools as well.

If prevention efforts fail, employers will have the information they need to help them address specif-

ic incidents. Information is available at: http:// worksafebc.com/ It is critical for everyone to take a strong stand against bullying and harassment, whether at school or in the workplace - what better time to start than during Healthy Workplace Week!

Shirley Bond Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Responsible for Labour

Government encroaching on our lives too much Re: Port Mann Bridge toll evaders get warning to pay up As ICBC declares that insurance and driving privileges will be withheld from those not paying toll bridge charges, I find myself wondering if there is a logical connection between the evasion of a public utility toll and my freedom to personal transport. Also, is this added threat of parent-like punishment really part of our culture?

Our government has made many of these questionable connections. Unpaid fines for Skytrain infractions will disqualify you for auto insurance and drivers’ license renewal. Criminal investigations can allow all of our drivers’ license photos to be illegally searched using face-scanning technology.

License plate scanning cameras mounted on police cruisers

routinely gather data from lawabiding drivers. The same toll cameras on the bridges are part of a surveillance grid that police admit is used to track the whereabouts of vehicles. Cameras on the streets are touted as a way to prevent crimes that range from theft to dangerous driving. There are watchful agencies everywhere, and there are demeaning and punitive rules for every aspect of our lives.

Now, if you don’t pay your toll you can’t drive to work, in order to make money, to pay your toll. The Progress article admits that the vast majority of bridge users pay the tolls. There will always be a small group who never follow the rules, and there will be a small group who, for financial reasons (no job, high cost of living, poor economy), cannot afford to

pay right now. But, there is also another more significant group of drivers who are exempt from the tolls: drivers with out-of-province license plates.

We are being hemmed in and encroached upon by government bureaucracy. I don’t break the law.

I pay my bills, from smart-meter electrically monitored power use, to licence-plate scanned and computer generated toll bills. I am tired of being threatened by bureaucrats. I urge governments to find another, more respectful way to collect this added tax on our personal transportation. And, if it turns out that not everyone pays, just pretend they crossed the bridge with an out-of-province plate.

Developers told to do better The battle Mr. [Larry] Les refers to in his Oct. 22 letter, (Developers build better communities, Chilliwack Progress, Oct 22) is not so much with the developer per se, but with what the developer is allowed to do. Neighbourhoods are vulnerable to change very quickly. A rezoning notice affecting your area will be mailed within a 30 metre/100 ft. radius only.

That’s usually the house next door, not the home two doors down or across the street. Should the 14 day rezoning signage board be erected on a busy road such as Keith Wilson or Vedder, it will probably be unread and unnoticed

Home&Garden

It’s time to winterize your garden Flower Gardens: It has been a wonderful October but our amazing annuals and perennials are now looking very tired. They will make great compost, but removing them will leave your garden looking rather Brian bare.

MINTER Winter colour plants, set out now, will add new life and provide much needed colour to your winterscape. Strategically planting winter colour in groups with contrasting blocks of bright colours, like yellow with more pastel shades, creates the most pleasing effect. Groupings of hardy ‘Maribor’ and ‘Winterbor’ kale, winter heather, violas, pansies and bright evergreen foliaged perennials, placed here and there in your garden and close to your walkways, will give a tremendous lift to your winter garden.

It is still the ideal time to plant your fall bulbs. Plant them in well-drained soil at a depth of three times the diameter of the bulb.

Plant bulbs in groupings for the most pleasing effect. With proper planning, you can time your bulbs to bloom in sequence from January through June. I’m a big fan of botanical or species bulbs that naturalize easily and come back each year with an even more impressive display.

Make sure you have at least a few alliums for a great summer show in eight months time.

It’s the last call for lifting and protecting summer bulbs. Gladiola corms and begonia tubers should have been lifted by now, and they must be kept warm at about 15°C. It is also the time to lift dahlia and canna tubers.

Vegetable Gardens: Many late vegetables can stay in the garden for winter harvesting.

These include turnips, parsnips, brussels sprouts, swiss chard and the new series of winter vegetables. Hardy larger Siberian kale can still be planted.

Fall is a great time to add existing compost to your garden, and there is still time to plant Garden Rejuvenation Mix for invaluable green manure in the spring.

Speaking of compost, make sure you take

full advantage of all the leaves, old annuals and vegetable stems by composting them over the winter. You might also wish to add fine fir or hemlock bark mulch (or sawdust) and sand to your vegetable garden to improve the drainage next year. Applying lime is important now too, except of course where you are going to grow potatoes.

Lawns: Cut your lawns quite low (1 inch) one more time to allow more air circulation in and around the root systems. This can prevent many disease problems.

To prevent moss from taking over your lawn, maintain a higher level of nutrients by applying a controlled-release, high nitrogen fertilizer, something like Scott’s Turfbuilder Wintercare 30-0-10, and by applying prilled lime at the rate of 10 kilograms per 2000 square feet to prevent acidic soil. It is too late now to seed new lawns, but aerating and sanding now would sure make a huge difference.

Trees and Shrubs: Now is the best time to plant most evergreens, fruit trees and shade trees. They are becoming dormant and, once planted, they will immediately form new roots.

By spring, they will have well established root systems. Some points to remember: The quality of the soil in which you plant your new trees will determine how well your trees grow. Work in plenty of fine bark mulch to open up and provide good drainage in our heavy clay soils.

If your trees are in burlap sacks, you should leave the sack on the rootball – it’s holding all those roots together!

Bare root trees can be safely dug and planted as of November 15. They will make new roots, getting them off to a great start come spring.

Because of the long dry summer, many cedars and pines are dropping brown inside foliage. Simply let it fall, rake it up and compost it. It’s a great time to feed hedging cedars using a quality slow release lawn fertilizer like 32-0-10.

If you use a liquid starter, your trees will get a faster start.

Evergreen hedges, planted now, will provide a good windbreak for cold winter winds, thereby helping to keep your fuel bill down. Hedges will also give you privacy and at the same time,

beautify your home. So all things considered, an evergreen hedge is an excellent investment.

Many fall flowering trees and shrubs can be planted now to provide winter beauty. These include viburnum ‘Pink Dawn’, autumn flowering cherries, Chinese witch hazel, ornamental grasses, jasmine and the many varieties of berried plants. It is critical that you begin organic dormant spraying with

‘Green Earth Lime Sulphur’ and ‘Dormant Oil’ in mid-November to control insects and diseases that overwinter in your trees.

We are now entering a new season, and it is so nice to have our lawns and gardens in shape for the coolest and wettest time of the year. The addition of winter colour is a pure bonus – one you will appreciate more and more as winter progresses.

Besides yourself, no one knows your business better than your employees.

SMALL BUSINESS WEEK OCTOBER 20TH-26TH

BUSINESS BC Chamber welcomes work done under Small Business Accord, urges continued momentum we encourage B.C. businesses to help the government get it right by participating in consultation efforts.”

B.C.’s small businesses can share their insights on how to implement the Accord on Twitter using the hashtags #BCBizChat or #SmallBizBC. Businesses and business organizations can also request a consultation with the Small Business Roundtable in their community on Accord issues (info and consultation request forms here).

B.C.’s Small Business Accord was signed into force on March 19. The BC Chamber played a pivotal role in calling for the Accord and partnering with the provincial government to deliver it.

The Accord contains principles about considering the needs of small business in policy and program decisions; fostering a regulatory environment that small businesses can navigate efficiently; deploying training programs to meet the needs of small business; and enhancing small business’ access to government contracts.

The BC Chamber is the largest and most broadly-based business organization in the province. Representing more than 125 Chambers of Commerce and 36,000 businesses of every size, sector and region of the province, the BC Chamber of Commerce is “The Voice of Business in BC.”

10-13H M24

As B.C. celebrates Small Business Week, the BC Chamber welcomes recent gains for small businesses under B.C.’s new Small Business Accord and urges continued momentum on the Accord’s implementation.

“This Accord has the potential to be a game changer for B.C.’s small businesses,” said John Winter, the BC Chamber’s president and CEO. “Already, we’ve seen some tangible action flow out of the Accord including a new staff appointment to help tackle red tape and the creation of an awards program to encourage municipalities to act in the spirit of the Accord.”

The government’s planned actions under the Accord can be found here. Some key actions taken to date include the appointment of a senior adviser to help small businesses cut red tape and the launch of Open for Business Awards with a cash prize of $10,000 for winning municipalities.

Winter said the challenge going forward will be to maintain momentum on implementing the Accord.

“This Accord is full of bold principles but it’s important that we don’t get complacent and assume that just by articulating those principles the job is done,” Winter said. “We encourage the government to keep driving the implementation of the Accord, and

B.C. isn’t ready to consider a wholesale shift to Internet-base voting in either local or provincial elections, according to a new report from Elections B.C. Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer released the report Wednesday, warning that even if a host of technical and security issues can be resolved, there is no consistent evidence that voter turnout would be increased.

Archer asked the B.C. government in 2011 for authority to conduct pilot projects for electronic voting. The government appointed him to chair an expert panel last year, and its preliminary findings are not encouraging.

While there are likely benefits for voters with disabilities or in remote locations, the report concludes that governments should not expect either lower costs or greater participation from voter access via computers and mobile devices.

Despite the widespread use of new technology by young people, a survey of other results showed middle-aged and older people more likely to use online voting.

The committee recommends that online voting be considered first as an option for people with access restrictions, such as those who vote by mail. It says universal voting should only be be attempted on a provincewide basis for consistency, security and ability to audit results.

No provincial or federal voting has been conducted online in Canada, but municipalities including Halifax and Markham, Ontario have tried it, as well as some U.S. and European jurisdictions.

Archer said online voting has unique challenges, such as the need to verify a person’s identity and then keep that separate from their voting choice.

“It’s not like banking online, it’s not like dating online, it’s not like making a purchase online,” he said.

The panel has posted its preliminary report at www.internetvotingpanel.ca and is seeking public comments until Dec. 4. It plans to make recommendations to the government on the next steps in February.

Feinberg

Piano takes centre stage for evening of music

Collective artwork touches on domestic violence Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A Collective Piece for Collective Peace is a community art project borne out of a partnership between Purple Light Nights and visual artist Evaly Art. The goal is creating an artwork with the help of several hands. It revolves around the theme of domestic violence using words and paint.

But the whole point is more about the experience of painting and creating the piece, and less about completing a commercial product.

“It’s the power of many voices,” says artist Evaly Carvalho, 31.

Evaly is a visual artist and art teacher, who lived in Chilliwack last fall. She is developing accessible art workshops that touch on meaningful subjects, and allow participants to heal and

reconnect through engaging in the artistic process.

“I’m always interested in how art is connected to the human experience,” says the artist who studied at Dawson College and Concordia University in Montreal.

The Collective Piece is actually two 3-ft x 3-ft canvases.

The people involved in the project were asked to pick a word from the 40 or so words on the first canvas, and then to express it various colours with paint on the second one.

The words of support included: Grow, hope, happiness, laughter, pride and patience, as examples.

“When someone adds something to the piece, like a dab of paint, or even a thumbprint it adds to the whole. These gestures seem simple but the effect is very powerful.”

It’s all about the potential of art to break down barriers, she

says, to open communication and celebrate the coming together of humanity.

“It’s not only the victims of violence, but the perpetrators too, are in a lot of pain. So we’re painting a whole picture.”

She could feel the topic resonating, with people who were approached to participate.

“I am looking to eventually expand this idea, and to develop a community art program.

Chilliwack embraced me. It has been a home for me, and it made me want to give this project to Chilliwack.”

The artwork aims to raise awareness about the scourge of domestic violence by talking about it, and getting an often hidden subject out in the open.

“It happens behind closed doors. This is about opening those doors through art.”

Hence the title A Collective Piece for Collective Peace.

So what’s the real message of

the project?

“Be open to what art can do,” she says. “It’s more powerful than you can imagine.”

The artwork is going on display at the entrance way of the Domestic Violence Forum Oct. 24 at city hall.

The pair of canvases will also be set up in front of the Book Man on Wellington Avenue, on Oct. 26, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Chilliwack Violence Against Women in Relationships committee adopted the Purple Light Nights campaign in 2009 to raise awareness and to support victims of domestic violence.

Every October since then, residents and businesses are invited to shine a purple light bulb on their front porch or front window for the entire month of October to remember victims and honour the survivors.

Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus present an exhilarating evening of music Nov. 9 featuring several local pianists in a Piano Extravaganza.

Four pianos will grace the stage of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

This first CSO performance of the season will feature local pianist Graham Yates as he tackles one of his favourite pieces, the Paganini Variations for Piano written by Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski.

This avant-garde piece is sure to stimulate interest, pushing musical boundaries with striking harmonic construction, and contrasting beautifully with the other rousing programme selections of the evening.

“I have come to love this piece,” states music director, Paul DeWit, “the tempo and meter changes make it very exciting in itself, not to mention the rich, exotic harmonies throughout.”

The night will be beautifully tied together by Debbie Fortnum’s piano stylings to be showcased in the lobby throughout the evening.

Dewit is also pleased to announce that music by composer J.S. Bach will be a highlight of the evening’s piano delights.

Joining the talented Graham Yates on stage will be pianists Wesley Hawkins, Amber Hipwell, Hanna Hotanen, Alexis Vandeweg and Michaela Kanis Lindhout to perform selections from the Bach piano concerti for two, three and four pianos.

A few movements of Camille SaintSaens’ Carnival of the Animals will also be performed by the evening’s featured pianists with orchestral accompaniment. Finally, in keeping with CSO tradition for this season of remembrance, the orchestra will respectfully dedicate a special musical selection as a tribute to our esteemed war veterans.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

In a two-hour drive, the only time I dropped the anchors was when one of Amsterdam’s kazillion cyclists cut in front of me.

Keith Morgan

The BMWi electric car powered its way with ease around city streets and along picturesque Dutch canals.

KEITH MORGAN

The future is electric AMSTERDAM – BMW has joined the race for the electric car dollar.

On the evidence of two days driving the funky-looking all-electric i3 through the narrow streets of old Amsterdam and alongside the picturesque canals of rural Holland, the German manufacturer may have a winner.

For starters, it is simply great fun to drive. The lithium-ion battery, encased in an aluminum cage below the five-seater cabin, provides enough instant zap to the electric motor to propel the car smoothly to 100 klicks in less than eight seconds. Left the stopwatch

at home, but counting “one-and-two etc.” to count seconds, my lips barely mouthed “six” before the speedo leapt from 80 to 120 km/h while passing.

It handles beautifully at any speed and hugs the road; thanks to the technology-laden aluminum platform, that gives it a very low centre of gravity. Turns on a Euro too, as we found during the many U-turns made on blocked streets.

Of course, F1 take-offs will suck the battery dry somewhat more quickly but you need not be a snail in the so-called Comfort mode to achieve the advertised 160 kilometres range on a full

Mazda, on a global scale, is a small company, so developing new products is a major undertaking.

This is why they shared engineering with the Ford Motor Company for many years but that relationship dissolved in 2010. Instead of modifying existing, co-developed vehicles platforms, engines and transmission, the company took a radical turn in the way they develop new products. I’m sure by now you have seen Mazda’s ads for “Skyactiv Technology”. This is the name for their radical design and manufacturing approach. By engineering vehicles from a blank sheet of paper, Mazda could focus on simplifying the manufacturing process to save money, a crucial part of this small companies survival. This new 2014 Mazda3 is the third vehicle to be built using Mazda’s Skyactiv Technology, behind the Mazda CX-5 SUV and Mazda6 sedan.

Looks The platform used to build this all new Mazda3 is a shared chassis with the other two Skyactiv products.

They elongate, widen or shorten the platform to suit each vehicle. In this case, it is slightly shorter than the CX-5. In fact, the new Mazda3 is lower, wider and slightly shorter than the last model but the wheelbase has been stretched by 60mm. This pushes the wheels out to the corner of the car, providing a solid stance and improving interior space. Then Mazda went about hand forming the body to produce a style that conveys motion, even standing still. Sold as a sedan or hatchback, the long hood, sweeping lines and powerful stance make a statement in a class that can be rather subdued.

Inside The goal for this latest model was to have a dynamic looking interior, fitted with materials and features not

you equip the base model with air conditioning and automatic transmission, the price jumps to $18,795.

The middle GS trim is the place most Canadians will shop and the range is from $19,695-$22,595 for things like heated seats, leather steering wheel, rain sensing wipers and more. The top GT with the larger engine, 18-inch wheels, xenon headlamps, Bose stereo and navigation, ranges from $25,855-$$29,855. As you can see, the price can ratchet up rather quickly.

The upside is that this is a car that can provide solid, fun to drive transportation, wrapped in a stylish package. Higher-end models feel like a much more expensive car, with qualities not found previously in this class of car. So, the price might be justified. I truly believe that Mazda is onto something, this is the best car in the compact class. zack@motormouth.ca

Ford Focus delivers on safety and efficiency

’’

Bob McHugh

Amid lingering global financial turmoil, recession recovery was already in high-gear at Ford, with an over a 40 per cent yearover-year sales gain that made Ford the top-selling automaker in Canada, in 2009. It was also the year it launched an all-new 2010 model year version of its popular mid-sized family car the Ford Fusion.

The 2010 Fusion was offered in SE and SEL trim levels with a choice of a 2.5-litre I4 or a 3.0-litre V6 engines and a 3.5-litre V6 powered an all-new Fusion Sport model with all-wheeldrive. Ford also introduced its first hybrid edition of Fusion with an Atkinson cycle version of the 2.5-litre engine and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (e-CVT).

The hybrid’s battery is a nickel-metal hydride type that’s smaller and lighter than competitors and it’s temperature is controlled by air extracted from the passenger cabin. Claimed city/ highway fuel consumption is a very impressive 4.6/5.4 L/100km.

Fuel consumption ratings for the other Fusion engines are as follows; 9.4/6.4 L/100 km (city/highway) for the 2.5-litre; 11.1/7.3 (city/ highway) for the 3.0-litre V6 models; and 12.7/8.3 (city/ highway) for the 3.5-litre with all-wheel drive.

A new optional safety feature on the 2010 Fusion (well worth having) was a Blind Spot system that comes with Cross Traffic Alert, which was a unique to Ford system. Radar sensors in the rear side quarter panels can detect a moving object within a 20 metre (65-ft) range on either side.

Great to have when vision is restricted (as it often is) when backing out of a

Recalls on the 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion: 2010 - A problem with the manual recliner mechanisms on the front seats may cause additional movement of the seat back.

Dealers will replace the seat recliner mechanisms.

2010/2011- The lug nuts on vehicles equipped with 17 inch steel wheels may loosen and this could result in wheel separation. Dealers will replace the lug nuts on all four wheels, inspect the rear brake rotors and replace them as necessary.

Drivingwheel@shaw.ca

2010 - A park pawl in the automatic transmission may not fully engage when shifted into “Park” and this could allow the vehicle to roll on an incline, if the park brake is not activated.

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the park rod guide retention pin.

Price Check - 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion (October 2013) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2010 SEL $11,000 to $14,000 2011 SEL $13,000 to $16,000 2012 SEL $16,000 to $20,000

The new generation of Ford Fusion is also quieter. kia.ca

Good reliability, owner satisfaction and low cost of repair ratings helped the 2012 Ford Fusion get a “Recommend” rating from Consumer Reports.

parking stall.

This generation is also a quieter Fusion. Changes to reduce cabin noise levels include an acoustic windshield, thicker front-door glass, new hood insulators, additional sound deadening in the trunk and a new headliner in the cabin that’s made with an absorption material. An air filter that removes respiratory irritants and toxins from entering the cabin was also a new standard feature of Fusion.

A new standard innovation was a fuel filler system called EasyFuel. Not only does it eliminate the need to remove a gas cap when filling up, it reduces evaporative emissions. You simply push the fuel-pump nozzle into a gas tank receptacle and it automatically seals shut when removed.

Six standard airbags helped the Fusion attain a top fivestar crash-test rating. If an air bag is deployed, Fusion also has a unique emergency alert system that flashes the hazard warning lights and sounds the horn, to attract attention. An electronic stability-control system with a brakeactivated traction control system was a new standard safety feature.

The MyKey security system was made a standard feature on the 2011 Fusion, a spotter mirror, to help eliminate blind spots, was incorporated in the door mirrors and the SE edition got standard automatic headlights. No significant changes were made for 2012.

Good reliability, owner satisfaction and low cost of repair ratings helped the 2012 Ford Fusion get a “Recommend” rating from Consumer Reports. Ford Fusion buyers also benefit from having a good supply of them on the market and used prices tend to be reasonable. A potentially great value pre-owned purchase.

Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history.

A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

able component of her work.

When it came time to trade in her Nissan Xtrail – which she loved to pieces – she was torn when deciding what vehicle to purchase.

“The Xtrail has been a fabulous car, but I’ve outgrown it and need something that can better accommodate all my equipment,” she says.

In the process, she considered SUVs, hatchbacks and crossovers. The Ford Flex, Ford Escape, Honda Pilot, Mitsubishi Outlander were on her list to look at.

Amy states, “When I started to research vehicles, the No. 1 thing on my priority list was interior space. I needed lots of it.”

She continues, “I didn’t mind if the vehicle wasn’t sexy! I need functional. Good looks were secondary to me.”

Because of her current role, it requires travelling around the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, BC and Alberta with various promotional gear, display units, sample products and more.

Not to mention, if she can pack in her sports equipment like her bicycle, snowboard or surfboard in, too, that would be even better.

Price was also a factor for her.

“I had a budget to work with, and I needed my payments to be around $500 a month,” Amy mentions.

“And since I’d be spending a fair amount of time behind the wheel, I’d need something that was comfortable, too.”

When chatting about potential matches, the idea of a minivan came up.

I saw the excitement in her eyes.

In her personal life, she is not the typical minivan candidate. With no children to drive to hockey or soccer practice, some people might question her enthusiasm.

But to her, it seemed like the perfect fit.

“I was just so excited about it. Minivans make life so much easier and you can just do so much with them,” she explains.

“It made a lot more sense than a pickup and much more sense than an SUV.” A few minivans/minivanesque vehicles she looked into were the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna and Mazda5.

Though the Honda and Toyota appealed to her, it

was the Dodge Grand Caravan that had exactly what she was looking for. It was in her price range and had some handy features that would allow easy loading and unloading of her gear.

She even really likes its look.

Amy tells me, “I can fit two mountain bikes inside with people and still have room for more.”

The Dodge Grand Caravan that she selected is the Crewe trim, which also came with some extras. She has a towing package, a rear DVD entertainment system (perfect for passing time on ferry rides!), Stow ‘n Go seats, remote keyless entry to the doors and liftgate and more.

While she can’t be happier with her purchase, the signing on the dotted line did make her heart beat quite a bit faster.

“There’s a lot of anxiety to buying a car. It’s a big purchase and you want to make sure you make the best choice you can.”

And speaking of choices, the biggest question when selecting her chariot of choice?

“Should I get the white one or the black one?!” she jokingly asked.

She went with black.

When looking back on the experience and looking at her Grand Caravan, she happily says, “What I didn’t think would be very sexy vehicle ended up being the sexiest to me. And there’s so much space!”

Designing with natural gas

By Kerry Vital Natural gas is no longer needed exclusively by professional chefs and high-end homes. Homeowners are increasingly choosing natural gas in their kitchens, living spaces and even outdoors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot more people are choosing natural gas these days, especially in the kitchen,â&#x20AC;? says Stephanie Malhas, interior designer at Sarah Gallop Design Inc. (SGDI). â&#x20AC;&#x153;People like the

Natural gas can be used in many rooms in your home, including the kitchen, living room and even outside.

Feng Shui principles apply to more than just moving the furniture

Important principles of Feng Shui include keeping your home clear and clean and allowing fresh energy into your life through your windows. Blocking your life energy can lead to health or financial blockages, according to East West Academy of Feng Shui founder Marlyna Los. Photos submitted by Marlyna Los

The ancient art of Feng Shui looks at life energy and its impact on your everyday life.

By Kerry Vital The practice of Feng Shui is a time-honoured cultural tradition in Asia, and has been making its way to the Lower Mainland in recent years.

However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often misunderstood and dismissed

as mere superstition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feng Shui is the study of Qi, or life energy, and its impact on the environment and humans,â&#x20AC;? says Feng Shui expert and founder of the East West Academy of Feng Shui Marlyna Los. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Location, direction, buildings, layouts, furniture, colours, shapes, materials all have a big impact on us, whether you consciously feel it or not. ...

Feng Shui consciously studies the environment and uses formulae and techniques to open and manipulate energy to human benefit.â&#x20AC;?

Fall in love with autumn decor trends

Among the benefits that Los notes are long life, peace of mind, good health and financial prosperity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Much of what is thought to be Feng Shui in North America is actually watered-down principles that have become more superstition than actual Feng Shui application,â&#x20AC;? Los says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feng Shui is first about location and direction. Certain areas of a home are meant to be Yin (quiet), such as a bedroom, and certain locations should be Yang (active), such as doorways, hallways, living rooms and kitchens.â&#x20AC;?

While some principles can be applied across the board, Feng Shui is not a one-size-fits-all approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The energy of a building is determined by many factors,â&#x20AC;? Los says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A beautiful home does not necessarily mean good Feng Shui.â&#x20AC;?

She notes that homeowners looking to incorporate Feng Shui should first look at cleaning up your space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep your entrance and hallways open, clear and clean. Open your windows to allow fresh energy into your life,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fix whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broken; make room for new energy to come into your life.â&#x20AC;?

Blocking that energy can be to your detriment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When energy is squeezed, blocked or stagnant a home does not receive Qi and the occupants experience health or financial blockages in their lives,â&#x20AC;? says Los. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the balance of Yin and Yang is disturbed the emotions and mental activity of the occupant are affected.â&#x20AC;?

Los recommends people who want to play with their energy to try sitting in a different spot to watch television for a few weeks or sleeping in a different bedroom to see how it affects their energy and daily lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Advanced Feng Shui tips would require analysis of your home by Feng Shui formula to determine what locations or sectors and directions are best for you to occupy and face,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to be excited about when it comes to decorating for the season.

By Melissa Smalley As the weather cools and we find ourselves spending the majority of our time indoors, you may be feeling the urge to spruce up your home with some new decor or a little makeover.

When it comes to picking out the proper colours, patterns and styles for your home, this fall there is plenty to be excited about, according to designer Joan Walker, owner of The Curtain Call Drapery & Decorating Co. Similar to previous seasons, wallpaper is still a popular choice for homes, and choosing a print with graphics and texture helps to fill any room with subtle warmth.

This year, fabrics for chairs, cushions and other such items are a little more bold, with orange and blue hues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After years of natural texture, prints are creeping back in with bold graphics and embroidery,â&#x20AC;? Walker explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This can add the perfect pop to any

Decorating for the season “ from page.1 room, especially in a modern design. And we’re not just seeing a single colour any more as an accent.”

If you’re in the market for some new furniture, Walker said the latest trend is leaning towards a more refined, ‘glamrustic’ look to pieces that are on the lighter side, with fine features and tapered, slim legs.

“Overall, it’s a little more sophisticated, but at the same time exuding a casual glamour and relaxed look,” she said.

Natural wood finishes are still a popular choice – especially in coffee tables, which are often placed in groupings at different

heights for a tapered look.

“These pieces are not only multifunctional, but they create a dimension of a square centre of a room.”

Other styles of look out for this season include designs with hints of metallic and luxury accent fabrics, including velvet and faux fur, as well as the everpopular tribal motifs and animal prints.

If it’s the flooring in your home that needs a little attention this fall, a popular choice, according to Dora Belyk of Surfside Flooring, is vinyl wood plank and tile.

“It is durable and has great design detail that looks very similar to real hardwood or tile,” Belyk said.

For those homeowners who enjoy the challenge of DIY (do it yourself), these vinyl-flooring products are now available in a high-quality self-adhesive format to make the job easier than ever.

If you prefer to leave it up to the experts, however, Surfside has a team of professional installers on hand to get the job done.

Whether you’re just looking to add a splash of colour and style to your home, or you want to embark on a complete design renovation, seeking out the advice and expertise of a design professional will help save you time and stress and will ensure you have a finished product you will love.

Among the trends you’ll find for fall are brightly coloured accessories such as pillows and richly coloured textiles. Tribal motifs and metallics are also on-trend for fall, below.

Getting your furnace ready for winter as the cold sets in

By Kerry Vital The mornings are chilly and it’s getting darker earlier. It’s time to start considering getting your furnace going.

“Most of the time you can flip a switch

and it works,” says Greg Eldridge of Milani Plumbing Drainage and Heating. “Beforehand you should change the filters, get it serviced and clean the ducts.”

It is always recommended to have your

furnace checked out at least once a year. There’s nothing worse than coming home in the dead of winter to find that your furnace isn’t working, and regular maintenance can prevent that. Most of the time it’s a fairly straight-

forward process and won’t take too long.

You can easily replace the filter yourself.

“You can get a filter at (hardware stores) and furnace stores,” says Eldridge. “Pull out the filter from the side and

swap it.”

He recommends replacing the filter about three times a year, or four times a year if you have pets.

“You can buy a washable filter that will last forever,” he says, adding that they are convenient but pricier.

Before flipping that switch, Eldridge says to make sure there are no flammable liquids near the system and make sure the general area is clear of debris.

“Also make sure the piping isn’t obstructed in any way,” he says. “And make sure that the floor and wall grills are clear because that can obstruct the air.”

In some cases, there’s no other option but to replace your furnace or other heating system.

If you’re unsure as to whether that’s the right step for you, take a look at your heating bills. No one wants to pay a lot to keep their home cozy, and an inefficient furnace can eat up your hardearned money. Con-

Getting your furnace ready to keep you warm in the winter can be easy as replacing the filter but you should also ensure that you have your system serviced annually to ensure no problems crop up when you are relying on the heat.

stantly repairing an older furnace in order to keep it functioning and safe will also cost you a lot more in the long run.

The final thing to think about is whether your furnace is still safe. Older furnaces can leak carbon monoxide or more easily

start a fire.

As the cold sets in, you’ll appreciate the heat of an efficient furnace or other heating system. It’s very important to keep it working well in order to keep out winter’s chill and to keep you and your family safe.

A touch of celebrity in your home decor Well-known home decor mavens and celebrities alike have released home lines, offering everything from bed linens to organizing solutions to furniture and art pieces.

A famous name can lend some cachet to almost anything, from movies to beverages to clothing. In recent years, home decor has become one of the trendy things to link a name to, whether that person’s a fashion designer, celebrity or television personality.

“We decided to partner with Debbie Travis because she complements the broad assortment of home decor products that Canadian Tire carries,” says Unha Park, manager of private label brands at Canadian Tire. “Debbie appeals strongly to our target market of parents with kids, and particularly to female shoppers, who are already nearly half of our customer base.”

Travis has been a fixture on television screens with her variety of home shows on the CBC, as well as her weekly newspaper column and several books. Among the products she currently offers at Canadian Tire are paint, furniture and decor items.

Her “Christmas collection is very popular, with a wide range of co-ordinating tree trim and decor that lets the customer transform their home for the holiday season,” Park says. “Other popular items include the leather furniture pieces, including an ottoman with storage, and storage and organizing baskets offering stylish and practical decorating solutions.”

Canadian Tire isn’t the only store working with a well-known name.

Hudson’s Bay has stocked home goods from clothing designer Ralph Lauren for years, as well as products from high-end designers such as Diane von Furstenberg, Vera Wang, Marchesa and Monique Lhuillier.

Home Outfitters sells items from Canadian design duo Steven and Chris, including bedding and bath textiles.

Other designers who have done home goods collections include Todd Oldham, Calvin Klein and Missoni, among others.

But it’s not just fashion designers who are looking for new ways to cater to their fans.

Singer Justin Timberlake collaborated with his long-time interior designer Estee Stanley last year on a collection of home goods and art, called HomeMint. He joins other celebrities including basketball player LeBron James, rapper P. Diddy and model Cindy

Crawford, all of whom have released home lines at various stores in the

past few years.

Many celebrity chefs have also released dining

a decorating expert who provides top trends and stylish ideas,” says Park.

“This has certainly helped in categories where style and design are a key component of why customers buy.”

Natural gas an energy-efficient option for the home “ from page.1 quality and evenness of cooking with a natural gas cooktop.”

Natural gas appliances can be found in many styles, including traditional free-standing ranges, built-in ranges, professional-looking cooktops and single or double wall ovens.

“It’s a more professional kind of cooking,” says Sarah Gallop of SGDI. It’s also faster. FortisBC notes that natural gas cooktops heat up instantly and provide precise temperature control. Natural gas ovens are naturally convection ovens, circulating air continuously around your food and ensuring that it cooks or bakes evenly.

But it’s not just the kitchen that can benefit from a natural gas makeover. Outdoor spaces and living areas are also tops on the list.

“Everybody likes an outdoor firepit now,” says Susanne Doise of Sensitive Design Inc. “You want to create an outdoor space that you can use for three seasons of the year.”

When it comes to that outdoor space, you have many more options than just the firepit. Doise says she’s recently designed entire outdoor kitchens, which can be easily connected to your home’s natural gas supply. She and Gallop also note the increase in people installing patio heaters so they don’t have to head inside as soon as it starts getting a bit chilly.

“It’s kind of like camping in your own backyard,” says Gallop. “You get the informality of outdoor space with the convenience of natural gas.”

And convenient it is. Natural gas is available at the push of a button, so you no longer need to wait for your fireplace or cooktop to heat up or worry about running out of propane for your outdoor barbecue.

It’s also more energy-efficient for space and water heating, saving you money on your heating bills.

FortisBC offers an online energy calculator that will help you compare the cost of fuel sources and their energy efficiency, demonstrating that natural gas is the most

affordable choice for homeowners. Find it at www.fortisbc. com/energycalculator. FortisBC natural gas customers are continuing to benefit from some of the lowest prices in a decade. As of Oct. 1, customers will see a decrease for the cost of natural gas to just over $3 per gigajoule. More information can be found at www.fortisbc.com/rates.

Other outdoor options that Gallop, Doise and Malhas have seen lately have been fire tables and full outdoor fireplaces.

“People are looking for anindoor-outdoor life,” says Gallop. “You can install a fire table that looks just like a coffee table and can be used as a coffee table outside, with a linear burner in the middle.”

She’s also seen firepits within an outdoor dining table.

“Natural gas brings warmth,” Gallop says. “It obviously brings physical warmth but also a warm ambiance.”

This is especially important in the living areas, where you want to gather with friends and family. Natural gas fireplaces are both cozy and convenient. FortisBC notes that you can even pre-program some models of gas fireplaces to turn on at a specific time to warm up your space in the morning or before you get home from work.

Natural gas is a convenient option for your home, whether you want to fuel a fireplace, below, or an outdoor firepit, top right.

Natural gas is also great for cooktops and ovens in the kitchen.

Photos submitted by FortisBC

AS RELIABLE AS THE SEASONS

“There’s a lot of flexibility when it comes to gas fireplaces,” says Gallop. “You can convert an old wood-burning fireplace, customize how it looks, whatever you want to suit your style, space and budget.”

Doise agrees, saying, “A fireplace in the living room becomes a focal point. You want to place everything around it.”

While you may not be contemplating a move any time soon, installing natural gas in your home will also increase the resale value in the future.

“It’s a really nice selling feature,” says Malhas. “People want natural gas when they’re looking for a home.”

FortisBC has partnered with Black Press on the Reno Me! with FortisBC contest, which began Oct. 7. Readers are encouraged to submit a photo by Oct. 31 of their great room, kitchen or outdoor space and explain why they want a makeover using natural gas. One finalist from each category will be chosen to receive a consultation with an interior designer and a rendering of their space. Then, one winner will be chosen by readers to receive $10,000 towards their renovation, with the second and third place homeowners receiving $2,000. Voters will also get a chance to win a $500 gift card towards the purchase of a natural gas appliance.

To enter the Reno Me! with FortisBC contest, visit your local Black Press paper’s website and click on the Contests link.

Hiring an interior designer well worth the money

By Kerry Vital Renovating is one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do in your life. The number of decisions to be made, the constraints of a budget and the scope of the work can all combine to make you wish you had never started the project at all.

Hiring an interior designer goes a long way towards making your life a bit easier.

“I do a lot of hand-holding,” says Beverley Richards of Beverley A. Richards Interior Designs. “I also put on the stripes and referee between homeowners and trades sometimes.”

But money is the biggest reason that homeowners should hire an interior designer when they’re doing renovations.

“We do many houses a year, while the

“We rock your world”

homeowner only does one,” Richards says.

“We have better buying power and get a price break on things, which I pass on to the client.”

Most interior designers will charge by the job or by the hour, depending on the project, but that cost is often less than what you would spend if you were buying materials and furnishings on your own.

“You have to trust your designer,” says Richards. “They have your best interests at heart. The process should be fun, and having a designer means you don’t have to micromanage everything.”

An interior designer will liaise with the contractor and tradespeople, ensuring that he or she knows what everyone is doing and getting to that cohesive look at the end.

Archibald skates into Hall of Fame

A list of the best hockey players to ever come out of Chilliwack starts with Dave Archibald.

Others were drafted

by National Hockey League teams and some enjoyed success in the minor leagues.

But no one has a resume like Archibald’s.

The Chilliwack Minor Hockey product started playing when he was two years old, and started making his mark 12 years later.

Joining the Western Hockey League’s Portland Winter Hawks for seven games during the 1983-84 season, he became the youngest player (14 years old) to record a point in major junior hockey.

“You’re going back 30 years, when the game was a lot different than it is now, and truthfully it was scary,” Archibald said. “There were some pretty legendary fights some nights, and I’d be sitting on the bench hoping I didn’t have to do that.”

He was five-foot-10 and 145 pounds when he entered the WHL. Over the next three seasons, Archibald got bigger and better.

Seven goals and 18 points in 1984-85.

Twenty-nine goals and 64 points in 1985-86.

Fifty goals and 107 points in 1986-87.

Archibald was drafted sixth overall by the Minnesota North Stars

in the 1987 NHL entry draft.

“I was highly rated and there was a point during the year where I knew I was going to be drafted pretty high,” he said. “But when it happened, it was still surreal. It was hard to believe that I was that close to being in the NHL.” Archibald stepped into the big leagues that fall and played 78 games his first year.

He scored 13 goals.

Two of them came in his first game.

“I remember looking down at the ice as I stepped out, because I still couldn’t believe it was actually happening,” he said. “I still have the puck at home from that first goal. It was against Philadelphia, and I want to say it was Mark LaForest in net. My apologies to him if it wasn’t.”

Archibald’s career leveled out over the next three seasons.

By 1989-90, he thought his NHL time might be at an end.

He’d been traded to the New York Rangers by then, and they wanted to assign him to the minors.

Hockey guru Dave King recruited Archibald to the Canadian national team and he spent two memorable years wearing the maple leaf.

Archibald won silver at the 1991 IIHF World Ice Hockey Championships, and got silver again at the 1991 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.

“Dave King was great for me,” Archibald said. “My confidence was low when I left the NHL. When I played for Canada, the pressure was removed and the game became fun

M ki a move Making Chilliwack has three games in hand on the Eagles and two on Coquitlam, so wins Saturday and Sunday would really tighten up the division, writes Jacob Bestebroer

Former NHLer David Archibald will be inducted in the brand-new Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame Saturday night. Archibald and his fellow inductees will be recognized between the second and third periods of a Chilliwack Chiefs vs Surrey Eagles BCHL hockey game.

again.”

By 1992-93, his confidence restored, Archibald was ready for another crack at the NHL. He got it with the expansion Ottawa Senators.

In his first year in the nation’s capital, the Sens went 10-70-4.

“I was really happy going to Ottawa, even though they didn’t have a great team,” he said. “It was a place where I felt I could play a lot, and I had two really good coaches in Rick Bowness and Alain Vigneault. It was great playing hockey in a Canadian city.”

Health issues eventually forced Archibald out

of the game.

After four years in Ottawa he played his final NHL games on Long Island, logging seven games for the 1996-97 Islanders.

He finished up in 1999-00 with Linkopings HC of the Swedish Elite League.

Thirteen years later, he headlines the inaugural class of the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame.

“For a small town, Chilliwack has had a lot of good athletes come through,” he said.

“Some publicly noted.

Some, sadly, not. I’d say it’s probably about time for something like this, and I’m honoured to be part of it.”

A busy weekend looms for the Chilliwack Chiefs, who have home games Friday (Cowichan Valley V alley Capitals) and Saturday (Surrey Eagles) before a matinee in Coquitlam on Sunday.

As with any weekend in which the Chiefs play back to back home games, anyone purchasing two tickets for the first game gets a free ticket for the second game.

The Chiefs go into the weekend in fifth place in the Mainland division, eight points back of the fourth place Eagles.

Chilliwack has three games in hand on the Eagles and two on Coquitlam, so wins Saturday and Sunday would really tighten up the division.

Friday’s game sees the Caps and Chiefs meet for the second (and final time this season) within a week.

Last Saturday the Chiefs were in Duncan where they erased a 5-1 deficit with just over 10 minutes left in the third before losing in overtime. Ben Butcher scored the tying goal with 25 seconds left in the third.

Cowichan is off to a good start this year.

After winning just 13 games last season, they have nine wins in their first 18 games this season.

One Caps player who should have his own cheering section at Friday’s game is Chilliwack native Rylan Bechtel. It’s no surprise to see the 18-year-old defenseman wearing an A for the Caps. He’s a real solid player who w ho you might not notice unless yyou ou key in on him. That’s a good thing as he does all the little things right.

Prior to Friday’s game the Chiefs will honor long time volunteer Marjorie Beck with a

moment of silence.

Earlier this year Marjorie lost her battle with leukemia.

She was an awesome lady who donated a lot of her time to the Chiefs organization. All proceeds from Friday’s 50/50 will go to the Leukemia and Lymphomaa Society.

Saturday we’ll see the defending BCHL champion Surreyy Eagles for the first time this regular season.

The Eagles are a much different team than last season with 18 players on their current rosterr that were not on that team. Thatt includes former Chief Garrettt Forster, who started the season with Coquitlam before being dealt to Brooks (Alberta). From there he was moved to Flin Flon and then the Eagles.

During the second intermission Saturday night former NHLer and national team member Dave Archibald, long time Chilliwack secondar y school girls’ basketball coach Joe Ogmudson and the 1997 national junior fastball champion Chilliwack Turbo team will be inducted into the Chilliwack k Sports Hall of Fame.

This is the first class to be inducted. Judy Fitzsimmons, the CSHOF president and her group have done a lot of work to make this happen.

If you are thinking of coming out to a Chiefs game with yourr family, a reminder that Family y Packs, which include four tickets, four pops and four hot dogs are available for $42 including tax at the Chilliwack locations off Save On Foods, PricesSmart and Coopers Foods. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Friday night football finds the GW Graham Grizzlies junior and senior squads in action.

They’re calling it the Homecoming double header, and the juniors lead off at 5 p.m. with a massive game against the W.J. Mouat Hawks.

Both teams are 4-1.

A GWG win over the perennial powerhouse Hawks would put the Grizzlies atop the east division standings, increasing their odds of being bumped up to the AAA playoff bracket.

A loss would leave them two games in arrears of the division lead and likely relegate them to the AA playoffs.

The senior game follows at 7 p.m.

The Grizzlies, 1-4 and mired in a four game losing skid, take on the 2-3 Pitt Meadows Marauders.

It is the final home game of the season for GWG. They end their season on the road Nov. 1, visiting the Samuel Robertson Titans.

Both games are at Exhibition Stadium.

Abbotsford’s Bruce Lonsber r y rink grabbed top spot at the Chilliwack Curling Club’s annual master’s bonspiel.

The event was held last weekend, drawing a field of 24 rinks, 12 from out of town.

The Lonsberry rink accumulated the most points through five seeded matches, edging Haney’s Ken King rink and Abbotsford’s Gary Snowden rink.

The out-of-towners had the luxury of stacking their teams, while the Chilliwack entries stuck with their rosters from regular league play.

The CCC had two curlers playing the ‘visitor’ role last weekend, travelling to Kamloops for the Kamloops Crown of Curling bonspiel.

Stephanie Prinse, a Chilliwack secondary school grad who finished a stellar junior career last season, joined the Jody Maskiewich rink representing the Royal City Curling Club.

Her team went 1-3, missing out on the money.

Former two time provincial men’s champion Dean Joanisse, who is playing in the CCC’s Sabre Industrial Supplies Competitive League this season, skipped his crew to a second place finish and $6,000.

Joanisse called the game and threw third for the team, which included young curlers Michael Johnson, John Cullen and Paul Cseke.

Halliwell John William Adams Irene Ruth Mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great-great grandmother passed away Wednesday, October 16, 2013 in Chilliwack General Hospital at the age of 91. Mom was born in Chilliwack on September 16, 1922. She grew up on Fairfield Island and was the third oldest of ten children.

Mom loved to dance and it was at a dance at the Masonic Hall where she met her future husband. She and Alic were married August 2, 1946 and then moved to the family farm on Unsworth Rd. where she resided until her passing.

Mom worked hard all her life helping on the farm and raising four children. She was a member of the Atchelitz Women’s Institute for over fifty years catering banquets with her good friends Dora Aarts and Lila Preston. The three of them also delivered Meals on Wheels. Mom was always there to help with W.I. and the Chilliwack Fair entries.

Mom enjoyed knitting, quilting, reading, traveling, and her home grown vegetables but also found time for trips to the casino. She cherished her family around her and looked forward to her grandchildren’s visits.

She is survived by her sons Doug (Gloria) and Ernie; daughter Lorraine Thomson (Charlie); daughters-in-law Sharon Adams and Wendy Dobell (Peter); grandchildren Toni (Tom), Tara (Matt), Tracy, Shane, Blair (Carla), Clark (Bev), Andrew and Geoff; twelve great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.

She is also survived by her brother Bill (Jean); sister Dorothy (Larry) and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Alic in 2004; her son Floyd in 2000 and seven siblings: Tom, Kate, Albert, Walt, Sue, Frank and Doug.

Thank you to Dr. Paul Basson, Dr. Ron Bull, home support services and friends who came to visit.

A memorial high tea will be held on Sunday, November 3, 2013 (in keeping with mom’s tradition) from 2-4 pm at the Atchelitz Hall on Lickman Rd. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
