Boat the latest garbage to wash up in the CRV Jessica Peters The Progress For residents in the pristine and rural Chilliwack River Valley, waking up on Monday morning often means finding trash left behind by weekend hooligans.

But the trash found this Monday takes the cake, and has left locals scratching their heads.

“A boat has been dumped on the side of the road,” said FVRD Area E director Orien Engar. “It’s a bit of a modified cabin cruiser and it’s certainly not a wreck by any means.”

The abandoned boat is more than 20 feet long, he said, and doesn’t seem to be a result of a broken down vehicle due to the lack of one very important feature.

“It’s not on a trailer,” Engar said.

How or why a boat without a trailer ends up on the side of the road is a bit of a riddle. However, Engar said it’s indicative of a troubling trend that’s been building up for years now.

“We’ve been struggling for years with the increased number of visitors to the area and the garbage they leave behind,” he said. “It’s always left to the residents and I’m looking at solutions and ways to help make a difference.”

He’s not sure who can remove the boat, or what that would cost.

It’s been abandoned on Slesse Road, just off Chilliwack Lake Road.

A video done by staff at Chilliwack’s Book Man has already logged more than 150,000 online views.

Book Man video spoof takes off Jessica Peters The Progress It’s pretty clear that The Book Man caused an internet frenzy over the weekend.

And it’s about them books.

Staff at the downtown new and used book shop produced a glitzy parody video of Megan Trainor’s upbeat track All About That Bass.

It’s a fully choreographed, cheekily-penned ode to traditional books that pans the e-readers like Kindle, and features local actors, singers and dancers.

Almost from the moment they loaded the finished product to Youtube last Monday, it was an internet hit. Just one week later, All About Them Books (No Kindle) had received 153,234 views and

6,258 shares on Facebook. Actual Youtube views had toppled 50,000, and several news outlets were calling Book Man staffer and video producer Emily Hamel-Brisson.

“I’m really surprised,” HamelBrisson said. “I knew it was something cool and that we hadn’t done before, and I knew people would be into it, but I had no idea it would be like this.”

She describes the video as a “lighthearted take on loving books over e-readers.”

It features local dancers, Book Man employees, customers, and if you watch closely, even The Book Man himself. Hamel-Brisson wrote the lyrics, and the video was filmed and edited by Matthew Hawkins, and choreographed by Pauline Dynowski. Featured danc-

ers are Hamel-Brisson, Hanna Hotanen, Pauline Dynowski, Amber Bergeron, Katrina Barson, Elizabeth Faith Monaghan, and Sheri Eyre.

Hamel-Brisson recorded the song in her office, with the help of vocalists Hanna Hotanen, Pauline Dynowski, Katrina Barson, Elizabeth Faith Monaghan, and Brittany Waslen.

While it’s been fun to get the attention for the video, she said, the great thing is that they’re driving more web visitors to discover the love of reading.

They’ve already got a bit of a presence on Youtube, and are working on a few web series that feature staff book reviews and other topics. Those videos are also filmed by Hawkins.

Last Monday they had a mere 15 subscribers on their Youtube channel. Now it’s up to 42 and growing fast. The video has been added to Ellen Degeneres’ Ellen Nation fan page, and been featured in national newspapers and on Global.

The Book Man joins a long list of Youtubers who have played around with Trainor’s campy pop song.

“It’s so catchy,” Hamel-Brisson said. “It’s just a combination of bright, fun and funky, and a little bit tongue in cheek.”

For the record, Hamel-Brisson added that while she’s not a fan of e-readers, reading is reading.

“But we’re a book store,” she said.

Restorative Justice bike sale helps make a difference bike’s coming on the auction block” says Peter Devette, Restorative Justice Board director and sale auctioneer.

If you hope to get a good deal, Devette advises coming down early. Viewing begins at 9 a.m. at Bernard elementary school, and the auction begins at 10 a.m. and runs until all the bikes are sold.

Cash is the only form of payment accepted, and the money collected helps subsidize Restorative Justice, which supports the RCMP, school district and loss prevention services in this community as well as Agassiz, Harrison and Hope. This program allows first time offenders an opportunity to repair the damage done by an offense.

Executive Director Kathy Funk said that last year’s sale brought in over $6,000.

“It was great to see the community come out and support our

If you’re in the market for a used bike, then you won’t want to miss this sale.

Bikes that have been recovered by the RCMP are rounded up annually and donated to the Chilliwack Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Association. That group then auctions them all off to the highest bidders, providing funding for their programs while getting bikes back out into the community.

They’re just gearing up for that sale, this Saturday morning.

And what a lot of bikes they’ll be selling off.

Up to 100 bikes will be available, including BMX-style bikes, mountain bikes, speed bikes, and more.

From the tiniest children’s bikes to very high end frames, there is something for every buyer. While some are in top shape, others will need some tender loving care.

“We have some pretty sweet

car wash and bottle drive,” she added. For those not looking for a bike, the organization asks that you support the fundraiser by bringing your refundable beverage containers down and have your car washed.

Supporting the event is a “win/win”, Funk said, for both Restorative Justice and for anyone looking for a great deal on a bike.

Restorative Justice is a volunteer based non-profit organization aimed at fostering a safe and caring community. The mandate of the organization is to bring youth offenders and victims together in order to discuss criminal incidents and to find ways to repair the harm caused.

Since its inception in 1998, they have provided restorative services to over 3,600 individuals and have recovered over $115,000 in restitution.

Seniors’ advocate calls for housing reforms Tom Fletcher Black Press Too many seniors are going into residential care when they could still be accommodated in assisted living, due to rules that are “outdated and too restrictive,” B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie says in a new report.

The report found a 10-percent vacancy rate for assisted living facilities, meaning space is usually available, at least in urban areas. It calls for a “fundamental redesign” of regulations for registered assisted living, to change spousal eligibility and

reduce the number of higher functioning seniors moving to residential care.

More than 90 per cent of B.C. seniors live independently and 80 per cent are homeowners, who should be able to apply for a provincial loan against equity to pay for repairs, the report recommends.

“A new roof or the need to fix a dilapidated deck may be a cost that forces a senior out of a house they have loved for decades,” Mackenzie said.

“Living in a house that is worth $500,000 or even a million dollars does not mean much if you’re living alone on $24,000

or less, which is the median income of seniors in B.C., and you can’t find the cash to pay the bills.”

Health Minister Terry Lake said he supports the direction of Mackenzie’s 18 recommendations, and the ministry is working on assisted living changes.

Some recommendations, such as providing private rooms with ensuite bath for residential care beds, have “wide-reaching implications for health authorities” and require more study, Lake said.

Subsidized assisted living is based on 70 per cent of the resident’s net income, with a mini-

mum of $325 left to the resident.

Mackenzie recommends that minimum should increase to $500 to allow more low-income seniors to use assisted living rather than going directly to residential care, where more costs are covered by the province.

A survey of B.C. seniors finds 20 per cent are renters, with one in five of those receiving a rental subsidy. Average rents range from a high of $1,038 in Vancouver to $547 in Quesnel, and the report finds that for remote and rural communities, the biggest challenge is not cost but the availability of suitable housing.

A memorial service for the four members of the Janzen family killed in a tragic murder-suicide will take place this Friday afternoon.

Randy Janzen killed his wife Laurel, daughter Emily and sister Shelly in early May, apparently distraught over Emily’s severe struggle with migraine headaches. He said in a Facebook post that he killed all three because he did not want his wife and sister to have to deal with his actions in killing Emily, 19.

When police were called to the Aldergrove home of Shelly Janzen after being alerted on May 7 by friends who were conEmily Janzen cerned about her, it led them to the home of Randy Janzen and his family in the Rosedale area of Chilliwack.

He barricaded himself in the house and eventually set it on fire, killing himself.

The tragedy has been a deep shock for all who knew the Janzen family, who were longtime residents of Langley. Randy and Shelly’s parents were founding members of Bethel Mennonite Church on 56 Avenue, near 248 Street, and Shelly continued to be an active member of the congregation. Shelly had taken care of her mother until her death last August.

Randy and Shelly grew up in an idyllic rural area on 66 Avenue, just off 200 Street, in the 1960s and 1970s, before the area became home to big box stores and townhouses.

Bethel pastor Phil Wheaton said the surviving Janzen family members have asked that the service for all four be held at Bethel, which can accommodate about 600 people. He expects that the church will be packed.

The service takes place at Bethel Mennonite Church, 24687 56 Ave , starting at 1 p.m. Friday.

News B.C. eyes more garbage policy reforms Jeff Nagel Black Press More policy changes are being promised by the provincial government on how garbage disposal and recycling can be regulated.

But it’s not yet clear whether any new rules will steer more garbage to waste incinerators, landfills or other technologies in the years ahead.

Environment Minister Mary Polak appointed Surrey MLA Marvin Hunt to review the issue last fall when the province rejected Metro Vancouver’s attempt to ban out-of-region waste hauling – a measure to protect the regional district’s tipping fee revenue.

Hunt has proposed six guiding principles that mirror much of what Metro is already doing to promote recycling and waste reduction, and enforce bans on dumping recyclables.

But he also suggests local governments let business take the lead in determining what emerging waste technologies will be most productive.

B e l k o r p Environmental wants to build a mixed-waste material recovery facility that pulls recyclables from garbage that would otherwise be landfilled or incinerated.

The company pitches it as a way to greatly boost Metro’s recycling rate and predicts it will also leave little garbage left to burn in a new incinerator, effectively killing that Metro initiative.

Hunt is skeptical that Belkorp can extract as much usable material from garbage as it claims, but says the firm shouldn’t be denied the right to risk its own capital in the attempt.

Metro has been reluctant so far to grant Belkorp a licence for its plant – regional planners think the resulting mate-

rial will be too contaminated and suspect the company is mainly trying to ensure garbage keeps going to its Cache Creek landfill, rather than an incinerator.

But Hunt said building a costly processor that fails to extract plenty of recyclables from garbage would be a quick way to lose money.

Recycling industries also worry they’ll have less access to recyclable material if garbage processors are built, particularly if that results in fewer households using blue bins.

Hunt said he agrees the best quality recyclables come when households or businesses separate them – which he said local government should encourage – rather than leaving it to mechanized sorting.

The former Surrey councillor championed waste-to-energy when he served on the Metro board.

Today, he still thinks the economics favour waste-to-energy proponents, who will have short hauling distances and valuable energy to sell compared to garbage “being dragged all the way to Cache Creek to just put it in a hole.”

Hunt said Lehigh Cement’s plan to burn Metro garbage as fuel in its Delta operation looks particularly promising.

He said regional districts are right to carefully regulate the industry so as much is extracted from waste as possible.

Hunt said garbage tipping fees should be high enough that they encourage people to recycle, but not so high that waste flows out to Abbotsford or the U.S. to avoid Metro

tipping fees, or is illegally dumped.

“Metro Vancouver created their own problem,” Hunt said, noting the region was forced to reform its tipping fee structure in April after the province blocked Bylaw 280.

More detail on what the province will propose is expected later this summer when an intentions paper is released, followed by consultations in the fall. A final waste planning guideline is expected to be released in 2016.

Metro was supposed to reveal several more

prospective sites for a new waste-to-energy plant last year, but it has yet to secure options to purchase any of them.

Metro solid waste manager Paul Henderson said regional district staff are continuing to assess the implications of the rejection of Bylaw 280 on the waste-to-energy project.

He said the flow of waste out-of-region has stabilized since the April tipping fee changes but added it will be important to see what further changes the province proposes.

Looking for solutions to trash trouble

“

TRASH from Front Engar has contacted the RCMP, who have told him the boat has not been reported as stolen and they aren’t yet sure how it got there.

He says more needs to be done to keep people from dumping their garbage wherever they please.

The Chilliwack River Valley sees at least one million visitors every year, if not double that. Most of those visitors are respectful nature lovers who know the importance of packing out what they bring in, he said.

“But some are not,” he said. “It also seems that some of the trash is produced by people who live in the vicinity and would rather take a drive up the Valley and simply dump their refuse, than pay to take it to the dump.”

Boots on the ground and fines being levied via enforcement seem to be a critical missing component to persuading people to take better care of this beautiful valley ~ FVRD Area E director Orien Engar

”

The list of garbage found along the roadsides, the river sides and the forested areas of the CRV over the years is bothersome.

It includes pick-up truck loads of shot gun shells, old mattresses, appliances, garbage bags, household waste, burned out cars, and now the boat.

Sunday June 21st Burnaby Lake

Volunteers, including the Vo Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Society, Ford Mountain Prison and various responsible user groups, will continue to monitor the area and clean up what they can, Engar said.

But the better solution would be to stop those leaving their trash behind right in their tracks.

“Boots on the ground and fines being levied via enforcement seem to be a critical missing component to persuading people to take better care of this beautiful valley,” he added. While the B.C. Conservation Officers do a good job while in the area, he said, they are spread very thin with a mandate to cover the entire province.

“The Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Society has been doing an admirable job for years by organizing volunteers that have packed out literally tons and tons of debris and garbage, and yet there is still much more that continues to pile up,” he said.

Any groups that would like to assist with keeping the CRV beautiful are welcome to contact Engar at his FVRD email oengar@fvrd.bc.ca.

Pointsof View

The Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Wednesday and Friday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. The Progress is a member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association, British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association and B.C. Press Council.

Garbage season again Summer in the Chilliwack back country means different things to different people.

For some, it’s the solitude of a long hike to one of the area’s striking mountain peaks. For others, it might mean fishing along the streams and rivers, or on one of the lakes. Still others might enjoy the thrill of mountain biking, or ATV riding with friends.

But unfortunately for many residents, summer simply means more garbage.

They’ll find it dumped along the roadsides, or left behind in makeshift campsites.

They’ll clean it up and haul it away (spending their own time and money) only to find more garbage there the next week.

The problem isn’t new; it happens with such frequency that volunteers are mustered after every long weekend, and again at the end of the season.

The annual Vedder Mountain Clean Up, organized by a consortium of trail users, collects nearly seven tonnes of garbage and recycling every year.

Similar groups organize river cleanups along the Vedder and Fraser Rivers.

R AESIDE

In the Chilliwack River Valley, volunteers regularly head out to clean up the mess that others leave behind.

It seems counter-intuitive that people who come to enjoy the wilderness would leave it looking like an urban back alley.

And although the offenders are a minority, their impact is substantial.

A solution seems elusive.

Meetings have been held, signs installed, legislation proposed and patrols tightened.

Yet the problem remains.

Some call for tougher penalties and higher fines. But without the resources to level those fines, it’s more bark than bite.

Providing those resources should not fall entirely on Chilliwack or the Fraser Valley Regional District. It needs a broader response, reflective of the popular draw from throughout the Lower Mainland and, indeed, the province.

We need answers and we need action. Counting on communityminded volunteers is proving as ineffective in stopping the problem as it is unfair.

B.C. V IEWS

B.C. goes long with the first LNG bid VICTORIA – Opposition politicians were outraged over the B.C. government’s latest effort to secure its first major liquefied natural gas deal, announced last week.

Premier Christy Clark, Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman and Finance Minister Mike de Jong signed agreements with Pacific Northwest LNG for a long-term gas royalty structure that could run for 30 years.

The government says the deal guarantees minimum royalty revenue for the province, while the investors increase their revenue if the spread between gas prices in North America and Asia increases during the term.

Pacific Northwest is a partnership of some of the biggest investors and gas customers: Malaysian state giant Petronas, its Canadian subsidiar y Progress Energy, Chinese state firm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp. and Japan Petroleum.

These corporate giants will review a project development agreement, and if they approve, Clark will convene the legislature to approve changes that would compensate them if the new LNG income tax increases.

Environmental changes such as a “discriminatory” carbon tax Tom increase or greenFLETCHER house gas regulations on LNG would also trigger compensation.

Future changes to general carbon tax or corporate income tax rates would not.

NDP leader John Horgan warned that “too much lolly” is being offered, with no word of job guarantees for B.C. or a deal with First Nations at the proposed site near Prince Rupert.

“My biggest concern is that

we’re tying the hands of future governments because a desperate government made commitments that they over-promised on and now they want to get a deal at any cost,” Horgan said.

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver called it “shocking and irresponsible,” repeating his prediction that the global market is swimming in gas and will never support huge green-field projects across B.C. For the investors, it’s like a mortgage. There are “subjects” to be removed before the deal closes, and this is a proposed $36 billion mortgage for pipelines, LNG processing and shipping facilities.

This isn’t just a political dispute. For example, Progress has drilled about 500 gas wells in northeastern B.C., and Petronas took it over with this development in mind. Without exports, B.C.’s whole gas industry is looking at a bleak future of low prices and

demand.

Petronas delayed its investment decision to this year and cited exactly these concerns, certainty on taxation and royalties beyond the election cycle. With that in hand, their obstacles remain federal environmental approval and a revenue sharing deal with a First Nation to host a terminal.

Pacific Northwest CEO Michael Culbert notes that answers to questions posed by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation were submitted to federal regulators only days before they started voting on a $1 billion share of LNG proceeds over 40 years.

The vote was a resounding no, despite a redesign that put pipelines on a suspension bridge over the most sensitive salmon habitat.

Culbert suggests that given some time to examine environmental mitigation work, that answer may change.

Does aboriginal title offer

a veto over projects like this?

According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no. Objections could be overridden if governments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public.

Talks have taken place with 19 First Nations affected by pipelines and facilities, and 14 have agreed.

While they continue with Lax Kw’alaams and other Tsimshian Nations on the coast, it’s worth recalling that others are not so reluctant.

The Nisga’a Nation has identified four sites as suitable for LNG terminals with a shorter pipeline route to the coast than Prince Rupert.

Higginson decision the right one Re: Council sends Higginson development back,” Chilliwack Progress, May 22.

On May 19 a public hearing was held at City Hall regarding a proposal to rezone the property at 45980 Higginson Road. After considering some very convincing written submissions and oral presentations by a large number of concerned citizens, the mayor and city councillors wisely decided to refer the proposal back to city staff for amendments.

I commend our elected representatives on their decision and am confident that city staff will be able to identify revisions which will work for all concerned.

Residents adjacent to the property under review objected to the developer’s proposal to construct townhouses within feet of existing single storey ranchers.

If this idea were approved, residents asserted that their views

would be obliterated, their privacy invaded and, as a result, their property values would be reduced. They pointed out the developers in similar projects, previously constructed, placed a row of single storey ranchers next to existing ranchers before introducing townhouses, thereby providing a gradual transition between the old and the new neighbourhoods. This concept fit in well with the guidelines set out in the City of Chilliwack’s “Design Guidelines for Multiple Infill Developments.” City staff will have to ensure that these guidelines are followed more closely in the design and layout of new proposals.

Over the years, people have purchased property next to Higginson farm knowing full well that the property would eventually be developed. But they also rightfully expected that the devel-

opment would follow the spirit and intent of the city’s guidelines and that the site design would be similar to those successfully implemented in previous developments. It is imperative that these conditions be mandatory prerequisites in the design of the new proposal.

The challenge now being addressed by city staff is a complex one. But, fortunately, as has been shown, there are guidelines and precedents in place which they can draw upon as a basis for identifying creative and viable solutions.

All should be encouraged by the mayor’s urging for all of us to “try a little bit harder” to find solutions that will be acceptable to everyone. Concerned citizens should expect no more and deserve no less.

Rough road for mobility scooter users Re: Mobility Scooters and driving them.

I have read a few stories about people and where they ride their mobility scooters.

Having used one for more than 30 years I know all sides of this problem. First the sidewalks are not made for scooters, they are way too narrow, if another scooter rider is coming towards you, often there is no place to pull over so one may pass.

If people walking on the sidewalk, they often

have to step into the traffic to let you pass as they can’t do so other wise. This is not safe certainly.

Then there are power poles in the middle of the side walk and where scooters cannot pass there.

The side walks are way too bumpy for those with joint problems which the bumps make very painful.

No, we do not want to use the road and so we shouldn’t but sometimes there is no other

way to get to the doctors or shop.

Why can’t we use the bike lanes, after all we have wheels like they do, they use the sidewalks downtown and no one complains about them.

Long boarders are given roads they can use that were set up for vehicle use.

I also drive a car and would rather meet someone on a scooter than a long board or skate board a scooter can be controlled where

long boards and skate boards cannot.

Those who complain should try being handicapped and in need of one of these machines to get around maybe they would understand a little more.

Try walking in my shoes before you make up your minds, then maybe you will help get the council to widen the sidewalks so we can use them safely.

News Rotary gives boost to pediatric observation unit

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK

YellowBarn

The Rotar y Club of Chilliwack-Fraser had a lot of fun while raising money for the new Pediatric Observation Unit at Chilliwack General Hospital.

For two years in a row, the club dedicated the proceeds from their event, Swing into Spring, to the hospital.

The result: A $75,000 gift will go towards renovations and equipment for the new unit.

“We look for opportunities in the community that will best serve the community at large,” says Gary Armstrong, president of the club. “Many of the members and their loved ones have used the services, and wanted an opportunity to give back.”

When that opportunity presented itself in the form of the

Pediatric Observation Unit, Rotary jumped at the chance.

Fraser Health’s plan is to convert existing maternity and medical beds for overnight or extended visits of pediatric cases that present in the emergency room. Converting the space will require some structural and ventilation renovations, security enhancements, new pediatric

equi equipment, and updating the décor and furnishings.

Rejeanne McLean is the CNE for the Pediatric Observation Unit Development and Implementation. She recently visited a similar model at Ridge Meadows Hospital which is proving successful in Maple Ridge, and she is excited about the possibilities for Chilliwack.

“Chilliwack is continuing to grow with young families,” she said. “We want to meet our goal of improving access to hospital care for children and youth in this community. We hope to see a decrease in emergency room wait times and an increase in access to pediatricians for urgent consults and assessments.

The enduring power of print Despite a rise in popularity of e-books and tablets, independent bookstore owners are busier than ever as their customers continue to connect with printed word Justin Beddall Black Press Dave Kyle is surrounded by nearly 200,000 books, and at the moment he’s holding the tiniest one in the palm of his hand.

It’s a miniature leather-bound copy of Gulliver’s Travels printed in 1826. Kyle picked it up at an estate sale in Vancouver.

“These are miniatures. It was a craze in the late 19th century,” explains Kyle, owner of 8,000-sq.ft. store Hemingway’s New & Used Books on Essendene Avenue.

With a background in book restoration, he has a reverent appreciation for books made between 1500 and 1800.

“That’s the handmade period.

Once you get to about 1830 you start to see the beginning of mechanization in the process and by mid-century so much of it was taken over by machines.”

Of course, these days there’s a new method of book publishing: e-books.

A Pew Research Center study released in January 2014 titled “E-Reading Rises as Device Ownership Jumps,” reported that half of American adults now own either a tablet or an e-reader.

You’d think that would make booksellers like Kyle worried – but he’s not.

That same Pew Research study notes “though e-books are rising in popularity, print remains the foundation of Americans’ reading habits.”

And while there has been a rash of independent and chain bookstore closures in Metro Vancouver, Kyle doesn’t blame that on the dawning age of of e-books and portable reading devices like Kindle and iPads. Steep rent is a more likely culprit.

In fact, Kyle credits e-books with inspiring more readers.

“It expands reading, there’s no Sale ends Sunday, May 31st

question,” he said. “That’s been our experience. It introduces more people to good books. And eventually they’re going to come in and start collecting the real thing. We see that time and time again.”

Kyle got his start in the book world by restoring antiquarian books, which led to him starting his own collection and hanging around book stores. In the mid1990s, he began selling books online, which eventually led to his purchase of the store in Abbotsford in 2000.

And while Kyle doesn’t see e-books as a threat, he believes embracing technology is key to a successful future in the book business.

Perhaps the most important piece of technology is the store’s custom-tweaked inventory software that allows them to track inventory, books sales and flag titles for customers.

For instance, Kyle recently attended a private science fiction book sale that boasted 3,000-plus titles.

When he arrived, he pulled out his smartphone and was able to pull up a database report that allows him to stay on top of his book inventory and his customers’ want-list in real-time.

And while there might be a wide-held belief that today’s youth only read in 140 characters, that’s not the case, according to Kyle, who notes that his youth and teen sections are actually growing.

“Clearly, there is evidence they do [enjoying reading books],” he says.

Kyle figures this particular demographic has grown up with iPads and digital downloads and has reached a stage where they actually want to touch and hold the actual record or book.

These kids grew up with “instant access” but didn’t own it.

“And now they want to own it.

The Bookman’s Amber Short says e-book readers still like the tangible feel of a real book.

They want to own stuff.”

So, despite a proliferation of digital devices and downloads and level of 24/7 connectivity that’s become so prevalent in this digital age, he’s not worried about the future of bookstores.

“We’ve never been more optimistic. We just really embraced the technology side of it and we just think its going to get more and more interesting.”

The beauty and simplicity of the book

A 2013 study by U.K.-based Voxburner, a firm that specializes in studying the habits of young consumers, found that 62 per cent of 16- to 24-year-olds prefer buying books over e-books.

Among the factors for this, according to Voxburner, were “pricing of e-books being too high” and “there is less affection towards electronic versions of books.”

Eric Spalding, associate professor, Social, Cultural and Media Studies at the University of the Fraser Valley can relate to why there’s still a preference for the old-fashioned book.

“I much prefer real books myself. In my case, it’s a matter of

all stores celebrating the

grand opening of our new store in

Abbotsford

old habits dying hard. That would be a factor for young people as well, I imagine, as e-books are so recent that most teens and young adults would have encountered them as something new after becoming used to books as children,” says Spalding.

He notes that the simplicity of a book has a lot going for it.

“I like knowing where I am in a book, I like flipping back to double-check something or flipping forward to see how many pages are left in a chapter. I like the possibility of comparing two parts of a book with each other. I feel you can do these things more easily with a book than with an e-book.”

“Also, I don’t like the idea of spending more time in front of a screen, with light shining directly into my eyes, even if I can dim the light on an e-reader to my satisfaction. And books can have a great feel and smell, they won’t break if you drop or mistreat them and you can share them with others more easily. It’s a more abstract feeling, but they also connect you to a centuries-old practice – in reading an actual book, you’re doing what people were doing back in medieval times or the Renaissance or

the 19th century. Reading books that were published a long time ago reinforces this feeling of connectedness with the past.”

Amber Short is a second-generation bookstore owner. Her father David purchased Erna’s Book Nook in Chilliwack 25 years ago and later changed the name to Book Man because that’s what everyone started calling him.

They now have stores in Chilliwack — the “mothership” with over 5,000 square feet and the majority of the staff and admin — and the slightly smaller 1,800-sq.-ft. operation in Abbotsford.

Amber managed the store for more than 16 years before becoming the official owner two and half years ago. When asked about selling physical books in a digital age she’s not the least bit worried.

She briefly saw a slight dip in sales a few years back, which she attributed to the introduction of e-books, but it didn’t last.

“In some ways I kind of feel it was the romance of the gadget and that book lovers are merging their love of books through a combined effort of books and e-books or just returning to the printed word, period.”

way. And I’ve noticed an upswing in my sales in the last two years is unprecedented.�

Amber figures it’s not just the experience of connecting with the printed word that makes the printed word experience so transformative. “I think one of the biggest differences I notice between print and e-books is the actual experience of being in a bookstore. It’s one thing to go to Amazon. com or something like that and browse titles and have recommenda-

tions come up for you – it’s a totally different experience to go into a bookstore, meet the owner, see other people there, pet the cats. It’s an outing instead of being insulated in your house. I think that’s part of the allure of the printed word – just going for a browse, having those books surprise you and being surrounded by those aisles of adventures waiting for you.�

And with 80 sections and subsections in her store, the adventures are many.

Times have certain-

ly changed since her father first got into the book business, but like her dad, she strongly believes in the power of the printed word. “I’ll get people who are say business travellers and when they head out on a trip they load up their Kindle and they don’t have to worry about hauling a lot of books with them, people going on pleasure trips, stuff like that. But day-to-day reading, it seems like the vast majority of people are turning back to the printed word.�

Weekends are always a little extra special at the Royal Cafe.

Proudly run by Devika and Graydon Gillette for the past five years, the downtown family restaurant offers a fresh approach to making home-style food.

“We sell a lot of prime rib on Friday nights served with our homemade sauce,” says owner Devika Gillette.

What really sets them apart is that everything is made from scratch, including their delicious gravies made from roast drippings.

“We never make gravy by tearing open a package. We make our food fresh, we’re not just reheating.”

On Saturday nights, the house dinner special is St. Louis style ribs with a house-made barbecue sauce.

cooking at the café inside the Royal Hotel, there’s always the Dynamite Catering option.

“We really want to urge people to come and try us for supper some time.”

One of the tantalizing dishes she whips up is Chicken Cordon Bleu from scratch and barbecue chicken with a zesty glaze.

They get a solid crowd for lunch but some Chilliwackians don’t seem to venture downtown after dark.

But she wants them to know it will be worth it.

They put a strong emphasis on good customer service, high quality ingredients and a wide variety of menu items.

They make all their own sauces and desserts, like fresh fruit pies, in-house as well.

If you can’t get enough of Devika’s

“Our roast beef is so tender, we get lots of compliments when we present one for a catering crowd.”

The Yorkshire pudding served with the roast beef is a big hit, too.

Back in the restaurant, Devika’s signature dish is the Fiji Rice Bowl, a homemade curry simmered in coconut milk and served with steamed rice and naan bread.

They offer the choice of chicken, salmon or prawns.

“Our customers just love our rice bowl.”

They don’t mess with the menu too often because their regular customers appreciate the consistency and high quality dishes.

Catering for larger groups is where she gets to be creative, making striking elements like a bassinet shape carved out of a watermelon.

“I enjoy catering events,” she says, even cutting platters of dainty fruits and veggies into appealing shapes.

It’s fun to make food beautiful.

hey are living the Canadian dream at Shandhar Hut on Young Road.

The Atti family of Chilliwack worked hard to open an Indian restaurant about a decade ago, and the bustling venture has been growing steadily ever since.

The youngest son of Sam and Kam Atti, Gordon, 25, warmly greets patrons with a smile.

8 8 3 5 YOUNG ROAD • ( 6 0 4 ) 7 9 3 -0 1 8 9

Only the best survive in Chilliwack, because customers always come back to what they know and love.

Other Indian restaurants may come and go in Chilliwack, and Shandhar Hut carries on.

They’ll eventually be taking over the lot next door, and even thinking about expanding out to Sardis one day.

“Our loyalty has always been to Chilliwack,” he says.

It was his sister, Sukhi, who came up with the tag-line for Shandhar Hut: “The senses were meant to be indulged” — and it is easy to see why.

They’ve created a popular and stable business dishing out a staggering variety of authentic Indian dishes that are customized to every taste.

The fragrant hand-made curries, fluffy rice and savoury naan bread are beautifully presented on gleaming copper dishes, with Southeast Asian music coming through the speakers.

Their cuisine is influenced by the rustic flavours of Northern Frontier style of Indian cooking, but not exclusively.

Their curries and other specialties come from all the various regions.

“Word of mouth has been key to our success,” Gordon explains.

Butter chicken, so zesty and rich, has consistently been one of their best sellers, but they also have a large variety of satisfying vegetarian options.

They’re proud of the glowing feedback and positive online reviews they receive daily.

It’s not by accident they are rated #5, the fifth most popular restaurant in B.C. on Urban Spoon.

They have a huge, round tandoori oven that is responsible for producing the authentic Tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, naan bread and roti.

Providing excellent customer service is key and Gordon makes a point of remembering what the regulars like to order.

Dietary considerations of their customers is always paramount.

“We’re doing so well, we’re planning to expand!”

Gluten free? No problem. They have naan bread made of corn flour.

Vegan? Lactose intolerant? Garlic

allergy? Absolutely no problem. Just ask.

The matriarch, Kam Atti, is the source of all the wonderful recipes they use at Shandhar hut. She learned to cook at her own mother’s side, and took cooking classes back in India.

It’s been trial and error in the kitchen to find what Chilliwack likes, but they focused on using the finest and freshest ingredients, and making the food as mild or as hot as someone prefers.

Never been to an Indian restaurant because it might be too hot and spicy? Come right in and see how subtle, mild and flavourful they can make your order.

“I always send my customers home happy,” Kam says.

They are all living “the dream” — the Canadian dream — of being successful and growing a business from the ground up.

The three Atti kids, Paul, Sukhi and Gordon, were all born in Chilliwack and raised in their home on Ashwell Road.

Being local really helps when trying to establish and build on relationships with their loyal clientele, says Gordon.

“We started from grass roots. We didn’t expect anything, and we didn’t know where it would go.”

They made a point of being versatile, flexible and accommodating to every taste and every individual dietary need.

Gordon says his parents’ impressive work ethic, commitment and dedication through the years has been incredibly inspiring.

“My dad worked at a saw mill for 34 years after arriving in Canada with only $10 to his name. It was honest, hard labour and he worked the graveyard shift.

“Mom ran the local Pizza Hut for more than a dozen years before we started working on the idea to open our own restaurant.

“But dad always had a dream.

Opening the restaurant in 2005 was the realization of that dream.

“And here we are now. Thanks so much to all of our customers from our family, they are our success.”

A 10-year anniversary celebration is set for June 28 from 11am - 3pm, with free butter chicken being handed out in the parking lot.

Shandhar Hut, at 8835 Young Road, 604-793-0189 is open Monday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday, 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

little trattoria J

osh Long is the head cook at Little Trattoria (8-45840 Yale Road), and he smiles when people walk through the doors, scan the menu and order two or three things.

“Are you sure?” he asks them. “It’s a lot of food.”

The look on their faces when the food arrives is priceless.

“The calzones and panzerottis, they’re the size of footballs,” Josh says in a completely serious way. “They’ll be eating for a week!”

At suppertime, Little Trattoria’s huge pasta plates and sandwiches, calzones and panzerottis are great.

Many a new customer has come in saying, ‘My friend told me I absolutely have to eat here.’

“At lunch though, people order something humongous and all they want to do when they get back to the office is nap,” laughs Nelson MacMorran, who owns the business with wife Ali. “And of course it’s bad when the boss sees you sleeping!”

“We’ve got pizza and veal meatball sliders, and our customers can watch us make everything they order. We think we provide a fairly unique experience.”

something and that’s how you have to have it. You can’t say you don’t want peppers or onions. Because we make things specifically for you, you get exactly what you want.”

A fresh one too.

Their solution is a newly-introduced lunch and appetizer menu, with smaller portions at smaller prices, (averaging $10) to appeal to the midday crowd.

Nothing at Little Trattoria is pre-made.

Dough. Sauces. Desserts. Everything is made from scratch. They smoke and BBQ for hours every Saturday, with rotating choices of smoked turkey legs, butterflied leg of lamb, smoked ribs and a slow grilled prime rib of beef.

Little Trattoria is nearing its one year anniversary, and Nelson says they’ve been blown away by the response.

Initially a ‘take-out’ restaurant, they’ve added indoor seating, and outdoor seating on a new patio. In addition, they are now fully licensed to serve liquor.

“We’re famous for our panzerottis, and our pastas (penne or rotini) with 20 different sauce combinations,” Ali says.

“A lot of places nowadays, stuff is pre-packaged and brought in to make things easier, but you can taste the love in our food,” Long says.

“We control as much as we can, the product is better and people notice.

And, in most restaurants you order

“We just kinda threw the open sign on and had customers right away, and it’s kept building and building,” he says.

“Customers say they can taste the freshness and we do have something that is unique. We offer something that’s uncommon. The panzerottis, calzones and type of sandwiches we do, I haven’t seen them anywhere else.”

T

hings are really heating up at Chilliwack’s favourite ice cream spot.

DQ Grill & Chill is best known for serving up cool treats like sundaes, Dilly Bars and their trademark Blizzards. But this spring they brought in a fresh new line up of hot eats to add to their popular meal options.

The DQ Bakes menu introduces exciting dishes like snack melts, hot desserts a la mode and artisan-style sandwiches.

The Chicken Bacon Ranch is a mouthwatering mix of sliced grilled chicken, bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce tomato and ranch sauce, all inside a fresh ciabatta bun.

9055 YO UN G R OAD

The Triple Chocolate Brownie a la mode is as good as it sounds, with DQ’s famous soft serve ice cream, warm cocoa fudge and chocolate chunks and whipped topping.

For a quick, on-the-go bite to eat, the snack melts are a tasty option.

Flavours include Buffalo Chicken, Bacon BBQ and Chicken Quesadilla, and each melt is wrapped in a tortilla and toasted to perfection.

The new menu items were launched in the United States last year and then in the Eastern provinces. Brian Glennie, manager and owner of the Young Road DQ, said they’re excited to introduce the new Bakes to their Chilliwack customers.

Dairy Queen has a long history of hitting the mark with their menu items.

The chain first opened its doors in Canada in 1953 and over the years, they’ve introduced treats that have won the hearts of ice cream lovers everywhere. In Chilliwack, there are two family owned and operated locations to enjoy your favourite treat, whether it’s a Buster Bar or a meal deal.

The Sardis DQ has been a local favourite for more than 25 years, and the downtown location is enjoying eight years of business.

Find your favourite flavour at either one, 5725 Vedder Road or 9055 Young Road.

f the atmosphere at Decades Coffee Club is feeling even warmer these days, it’s because everything has been handmade, with love.

The entire downtown shop is infused with warmth lately, from the carefully selected specialty teas to the tables you’ll find yourself lingering around.

The new line of teas are thanks to a partnership with another local business, Aromatica Fine Teas.

jim’s pizzeria & spaghetti house

J

im’s produces pizza with pizzazz

Psst? Want to know a secret?

Every fresh and tasty pizza coming out of the searingly hot oven at Jim’s Pizza is unique.

That’s the real secret of Jim’s Pizza, explains Heather Currie, of Jim’s Pizzeria & Spaghetti House on Young Road.

As someone who grew up working for franchise outlets, Heather is aware measuring cups are often used to dole out meagre toppings.

Not at Jim’s.

“Some customers like a little extra sauce, for example. So we don’t have exact portion sizes, and that makes every pizza unique,” she said.

There are two busy pizzerias under the name Jim’s Pizza, and they’ve both been around more than 20 years in Chilliwack.

The downtown Jim’s Pizza is owned

by Heather Currie, Norm and Diane Melanson, while the Sardis Jim’s is owned by Wayne Zeutchus and David Williams.

“We’re two different owners, but everything else is the same, including the recipes, sauces and seasonings.”

The recipes — including those for their pizza, BBQ and pasta dishes — are all homemade recipes, made fresh, in-store daily.

They use the very best of the best cheese, which makes a difference.

“It’s the absolute Cadillac of cheeses!” All of their base sauces are made in-house.

Consider the hand-made jalapeno ranch sauce, that they slather on as a pizza base or offer as a dip.

“My dad, Norm, created the jalapeno ranch sauce from start to finish,” Heather says.

accompaniment to the many desserts Decades creates from scratch.

For 16 years, Decades has been helping their customers find the perfect dessert, and every offering is drool-worthy.

But the newest creations, dreams in a jar, have to be the best yet. They’ve put a twist on traditional favourite desserts like cheesecake, placing them layer by layer in small mason jars. The result is a dessert that looks as good as it tastes.

They’re also infusing tea flavours into baking, grinding teas down as an added flavour or infusing milk with different concoctions to give their desserts a unique and fresh appeal.

The personal touches don’t stop with the food they

serve. Guests in the past few weeks have been enjoying the look and feel of brand new tables, constructed by hand from reclaimed wood, and brought to life by artist-in-residence Esther Hoogendoorn.

The staff worked together for hours and hours to get the tables just right, and they fit in perfectly with the new offerings behind the counter.

In just a few more weeks, their guests will also enjoy relaxing on the patio, where the furniture will also be made from refurbished items.

“We like unique things,” Hoogendoorn says.

Decades is open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday to Friday, and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays.

offer that option.

They also prepare “spike balls” of seasonings and spices that they use to flavour the variety of delicious sauces and dishes.

“My mom had a lot of food allergies,” Heather remembers. “So we had to do something. I think we were among the first to offer gluten free crust.”

They roast chicken breasts themselves and then shred it for pizza, or served up as chicken dinner.

They use fresh ground beef for their meat balls, or on pizza. “We try to keep things a healthy as possible by using fresh ingredients.”

They also believe in community service and often hold fundraisers to help local families.

They shop locally for their produce and meat.

Jim’s hand-stretched dough is the reason why their crust is legendary.

“We make the dough everyday.”

They’ve also brought in two gluten free crusts, one regular and the other dairy free. There’s too much free-flying flour in the air to make uncontaminated gluten-free varieties in the store, but it was important to

Its roots run deep in the community. What started as a single location at Chilliwack Mall, is now three locations throughout the city.

Zhang, and his family, are appreciative of the support the community has given them during the past few years. That support has earned the restaurant several top rankings from local fans, including a spot in the Chilliwack Progress’s A List.

Now, Gingko is taking that success on the road, says Jack Zhang.

Mike talks proudly about some of their take-home-and-eat dinner offerings, quick and delicious fare that harkens back to his German heritage.

“You need to cut it in half because really, it’s this big,” he says, laughing and holding his hands out. “You just about get lock-jaw.”

If ever he doubts he’s doing things right, he’s re-assured by the familiar faces that keep coming back.

“They’re what keeps it fun for us and they provide the joy at the end of the rainbow,” Mike says. “I’ll chat with them after they try a new product and ask them how they liked the German burgers or Greendale farmers’ sausage.

ractorgrease Café has great local food, great local music, and a great local vibe, says owner Jeff Bonner.

Bonner and partner Jodi Augustine recently opened the home-style restaurant and live music venue, next to Bonner’s multi-media Tractorgrease studio on Chilliwack Lake Road.

Tractorgrease Café is only six kilometres down the road after turning left at the Vedder Bridge. Located in the picturesque Chilliwack River Valley, the café is less than a 10-minute trip from Garrison.

The restaurant idea came to them when they realized the Tractorgrease clients only had takeout when they came to record an album or make a live video.

When the café next door came up for lease, they went for it.

Now they’re busy cooking up healthy versions of everyone’s favourite comfort food, like handmade hamburgers and chicken burgers, hand-cut french fries and poutine, along with fresh sauces and salad dressings, made from scratch.

“Jodi and I are into a more healthy way of

eating, so that’s reflected in what we do in the café.”

Their spacious and funky new outdoor patio is expanding all their horizons, and they’re licensed with a range of tasty craft beer and appealing wines.

“We recently built a large stage on the patio to bring some music into the mix at the ‘Grease.”

Check out the open mic acoustic jam every Friday night, and concerts from local and visiting artists most Saturdays, like West of Memphis, on May 30 at 7 p.m.

est Bite Pizza takes its name seriously — every bite promises to be simply the best.

“Cooking is my passion,” says the store’s owner, chef Kang. He personally oversees every order, making sure it’s perfect right down to the basic ingredients.

“It starts right with the flour,” he says.

That means the dough is made fresh each and every day, mixed with good quality flour.

The tomato sauce is free of water and oils, giving it a rich and full texture made even more mouthwatering with a “secret” blend of seasoning and spices.

All the veggies are fresh and hand cut each day.

And finally, the cheese.

“We use 100% Canadian milk mozzarella and grate it fresh everyday” Kang says.

It all adds up to one delicious pizza, which is all Kang is concerned about once he gets into the kitchen. He’s been serving up pizza and pasta dishes at the location on Yale Road for more than four years, but has 20 years experience operating a pizza business.

He knows that most customers are looking for pizza that tastes homemade, and he does his best to deliver They use the best quality that. That goes for the meats. Fresh chicken pasta dishes, too, which breast is roasted in-house. are made with the same

quality ingredients.

Best Bite’s menu has 40 varieties of pizza and includes eight different vegetarian options. Also gluten free pizza crusts, and daily lunch specials including salads, wraps and donairs.

But whether it’s a quick and simple pizza or a full dinner order, the same passion for good food is put into every bite.

“My customers have to be happy,” he says. “It has to taste good, every bite.”

We appreciate all of our customers and thank you for your continued support.

nterestingly, the clean, crisp lines of Bluefin Sushi’s decor is much like their food… carefully, artfully put together by it’s owner, Sae Chang.

Since they own another popular restaurant in New Westminster, Sae & his partner knew just what to do when deciding to live in Chilliwack. After having visited 25 years ago & loving the mountains & lifestyle of the Fraser

Valley, they wanted to make this their home before retirement & offer all you can eat sushi, with a fair price, using fresh, high quality ingredients.

For the last 4 years, that is just what they have done.

Any given day, Bluefin is a bustling, busy place. Food-to-go is as popular with the working crowd as dining-in is to those with time for a more leisurely dining experience. One of the

reek hospitality is legendary – and it’s a tradition Gus Sahamis takes seriously.

“Customers who honour you by coming to your restaurant deserve your best,” he says emphatically.

Sahamis owns Greek Islands. But the restaurant is more than a business.

It is his commitment to bring all the warmth, hospitality and good food of his homeland to Chilliwack.

Sahamis was literally raised in a kitchen. Still, he knows a restaurant is more than its food. It has the power to transport guests to a special place – a place where they can leave their busy lives behind, relax, unwind and enjoy.

But it has to be done right.

The service, says Sahamis, has to be impeccable, from the welcoming smile from the host, to the prompt and efficient attention of the server.

4 5 7 8 1 H O C KI N G AV E , C H I L L I WAC K • ( 6 0 4 ) 7 0 2 - 1 8 8 1

“There is no ‘average’ here,” he says.

If it feels like you are among family at Greek Islands, it’s because you are. Many of the staff are family; son, Yianni, daughters, Effie and Nicoletta, son-in-law, Kostas, daughter-in-law, Denelle. Even our chefs, Joel Comeault and Shawn Wilton have been with the restaurant for 14 years. They’ve all worked their way into the key positions necessary for a restaurant’s success – Sahamis wouldn’t have it any other way.

Greek Islands has a warm and comfortable feel. Water features at the entrance add a touch of exotic elegance to the restaurant. The stone and brickwork is punctuated by Hellenic tiles and classical artwork.

On one wall a large mural captures a sunny afternoon overlooking the Mediterranean. As the sound of Greek music wafts through the air, you can almost feel the ocean breeze.

Greek Islands is a large restaurant, but it feels intimate. High ceilings and broad windows give an airiness to the space. Tables are well placed, providing room for many, or an intimate corner for two.

exacting standards.

But as warm and inviting as the place is, Sahamis knows it is the food that has won the loyalty of so many Greek Island customers.

But there’s more to choose from. There’s a selection of pastas, including baked lasagna, as well as steaks and seafood.

Again, his standards are high.“‘Good’ is not good enough,” he says.“It has to be ‘great.’”

And for dessert, don’t forget to leave room for the baklava.

That passion is shared by his son-in-law, Kostas who runs the kitchen. Dishes that don’t meet his approval will never get to the table.

Greek Islands has all the classic dishes that has made the cuisine so popular.

There’s the roasted lamb, beef and chicken souvlaki, keftedes, and of course the legendary mousaka.

Each dish is made from scratch, and to

Can’t decide? Try one of the Greek platters that comes with a selection of favourite items, served either for two or for four.

The goal, says Sahamis, is for his guests to leave feeling more than just satisfied.

It’s a goal he admits is sometimes a challenge to reach, but one he vows he’ll never stop striving for. The customer deserves it.

Greek Islands is located at 45781 Hocking Ave. in Chilliwack. For more information, call 604.702.1881, or visit greekislandsrestaurants.com

Jacksons Steak & Grill House T

here is a rustic elegance at Jacksons Steak and Grill House in Sardis. From the stone fireplace at the front door, to the vaulted and timbered ceilings high above, the restaurant is as warm and inviting as a mountain lodge.

And that’s how it should be, says Morgen Yuan. A restaurant is about the experience – from the welcome at the front door, to the wave good-night.

Yuan has recently taken over the popular dining room. While there are some familiar faces – people who have been with the restaurant since its beginning in 2005 – he’s also introduced a few changes.

The balance has to be right, he insists.

Customers have come to love the quiet

retreat; a place where they know they can find a dining experience above the ordinary, where the food is excellent and the service exceptional.

Standards remain high. Jacksons serves only triple-A prime Alberta beef. Aged to perfection, the Angus beef is a cut above, whether it’s the sirloin, tenderloin, or prime rib.

What is new is the way guests can create their own dishes.“We offer a lot more freedom,” says Yuan, who lives with his family on Chilliwack Mountain.

Guests can start with their main entree, then choose from a selection of vegetables and side dishes that complement perfectly, whether it’s the

canton garden C

Chilliwack favourite.

It’s been that way since the 1940s, when Canton Garden was located on Wellington Ave. in the Royal Hotel.

They remain committed to maintaining the foundation of excellence the restaurant was built on, while exploring new ideas and new ways to please their guests.

And today, nearly 20 years after moving to its current location on Yale Road, Canton Garden remains a

truffle mashed potatoes, potato gratin, or asparagus gently bathed in hollandaise.

Feeling the call of the sea? Begin with lobster, rich tiger prawns, cedar plank salmon, or pan-seared Digby scallops, and use your imagination.

Even the humble hamburger is elevated to new heights. The meat is hand-ground in house and guests can build their own burgers by drawing from choices like crisp pancetta, caramelized onions, mushrooms or fresh herb mayonnaise.

The work begins long before guests sit down, Yuan says. However. the time spent hand cutting french fries, smoking the ribs in house, or creating the demi-glace from scratch is time well spent.“Customers can

taste the difference.”

Now the dining experience has been expanded to include lunch. Jacksons is currently updating its menu to include fast and convenient entrees, for guests looking for something special. Emphasis is on dishes that can be prepared quickly, taste delicious, and can be packed up to go if guests are in a hurry.

Jacksons has a tradition of providing Chilliwack with something above the ordinary, whether it’s a night out with friends, or an intimate evening with someone special.

For reservations or more information, call 604.858.9070, or go online to www. jacksonssteakandgrill.com.

anton Garden Restaurant has been a Chilliwack tradition for more than 60 years – a place where residents can find great food, a friendly atmosphere and excellent service.

The tradition continued as Canton Garden became a destination for local clubs and family get-togethers when it moved to its Airport Road location in the 1970s.

Brothers Chuck and Ken Chen now hold the reins to a family business that was started by their great-uncle and continued by their parents.

“We have a passion to keep true to ourselves, and true to our community,” Chuck says.

Cantonese-style Chinese food is known for its freshness and flavour – something the two brothers remain committed to.

Many of the recipes have been handed down through the family.

Canton Garden’s classic chow mein, for example is the way their greatuncle would have made it.

There are changes, they add – changes that reflect the tastes of the evolving clientele, like their new honeywalnut prawns, or sweet chili chicken.

“We just love what we do.”

What remains is a commitment to use the best and freshest ingredients.

And, adds Ken, “We care about our customers.”

Canton Garden offers an elegant dining room. It is a large space,

but one that still feels cosy and not crowded.

A portion of the restaurant is available for banquets and special events. It seats up to 150 people and comes with its own private bar. Menus are flexible, says Chuck. And best of all, there is no additional room fee.

Catering is also available.

Canton Garden is centrally located at 45595 Yale Road, and offers ample parking.

This enterprising couple are Red Seal chefs, proud of what they do and confident in the meals they prepare.

And they prepare a lot of them.

Cookies menu is expansive, offering all-day breakfasts, hearty lunches and homestyle favourites.

The breakfasts are big, bold and they come with a reputation that has earned Cookies accolades for more than a decade. They’ve received Business Excellence awards & the Best Breakfast in Town award to name a few.

There are the classics, like Cookies Breakfast – eggs, bacon, sausage,

smoked ham, hashbrowns, toast and a choice of buttermilk pancakes, french toast or waffle stix. Then there are hearty skillet dishes, sumptuous Benedicts or savoury omelettes. More than one of your favourites is bound to be listed as the daily special. The breakfasts are served all day. But don’t let that limit you.

Cookies prides themselves on homecooked meals but they also have their own off site catering. Cookies offers full service catering for a wide range of functions including rehearsal dinners, weddings, showers, corporate events, cocktail parties, sports banquets & any of your holiday

events.

What more needs to be said when there are testimonials like this, “The cornflake encrusted french toast is to DIE for - Rebecca M., HHS”!

There are share plate items: Onion Ring Tower? Deep Fried Pickle Spears?! Those BEG to be sampled!

Cookie’s offers a kids’ menu with quite a lot of choice as well, even Grilled Cheese or perogies!

P

ho [pronounced fuh] has taken Chilliwack by storm… This traditional Vietnamese soul food originated in Vietnam in the mid 1880s.

They say the French provided the beef; the Chinese supplied the herbs… and the Vietnamese perfected it!

So what exactly is Pho? Chef Simon, owner of iPho creates this delicious broth by simmering beef bones, sugar, salt & pepper, star anise, flank steak, whole cloves, black cardamon, cinnamon sticks, roasted ginger, fennel seeds, coriander seeds & roasted

onion for 10 to 14 hours to achieve the traditional flavour.

This is not just a job for him, this is his family heritage, this is his life & also happens to be personally handcrafted… Simon is also the talent behind the beautiful decor and booth seating. He has worked in carpentry for many years, so applied his magic touch to give iPho its ambiance.

What makes iPho different from other Pho restaurants? All of the meals are infused with aromatic spices so that each is unique, from the Bahn Mi (like

a Vietnamese sub sandwich, made of chicken, cilantro, white onion & a satay-like sauce) to the appetizers & stir-frys.

There is one tidbit we couldn’t pry from Simon & that is his secret iPho sauce; you’ll have to be satisfied with sampling the flavours & guessing the ingredients for yourself! iPho serves gluten free options, have a delivery service & real fruit Bubble Tea to DIE for! Bubble Tea, or pearl milk tea, is a Taiwanese tea based drink with fruit, milk, tapioca “bubbles” and little

fruit jellies that is frothed and thick, not unlike a smoothie. The flavours to choose from are plentiful & these are so refreshing.

Three words… deep fried bananas…

This mouthwatering dessert has jack fruit(a tropical apple/pineapple/ mango/banana tasting Southeast Asian fruit), and the deep fried banana itself, finished with vanilla ice cream. What an ending to a delectable dining experience!

he night before Josh Buckle opened for business, he stood alone in the quiet of his empty eatery and looked around.

“People think we’re just salads and wraps, but we have sandwiches and quesadillas and our rice bowls are hugely popular,” Josh says.

“I had a little moment where I thought, ‘Holy cow! Look what we’ve done.’” the owner of The Chopped Leaf recalls.

Because nothing is pre-made, customers can be their own chef, customizing their salad if the menu options don’t suit them perfectly.

His place wasn’t quiet for long.

“A big thing we have now is a gluten-free wrap which is amazing, the best I’ve ever eaten,” Josh says proudly. “You’ll see on our menu board that our salads, dressings and soups are V & GF (vegan and gluten friendly). Whatever allergy or dietary need or preference you have, we can come up with something that works.”

Health-conscious customers came through his doors looking for tasty and nutritious options and weren’t disappointed.

“Me and my wife (Veronika) are very active and always concerned about what we put in our body,” Josh says. “We were in Kamloops for the Dirty Feet Trail Series, and got a $2-off coupon with our race package. We tried it out, had amazing wraps and kept going back whenever we found ourselves near a Chopped Leaf. One day Veronika said, ‘I think this would be good for Sardis,’ and that’s how it started.”

Josh had two things in mind when he threw open his doors.

First, provide friendly and quick service.

“I wanted a culture where everyone’s friendly, and you’ll get three or four hellos when you walk through our door,” he says. “Everyone’s going to say hi to you, where some places you just don’t get that.”

Second, offer quality products with quality ingredients.

If Josh could eat just one thing from The Chopped Leaf menu, it would be the Chopped Signature Salad, a mix of romaine lettuce, cranberries, pecans, croutons and feta cheese with a house balsamic dressing, all of it topped with chicken.

bowl of fair-trade organic basmati rice topped with romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese, greek dressing and tzatziki (olives and chicken available on request).

Our parent company is doing a menu refresh in July, and I haven’t seen it yet, but that will involve adding and subtracting a few items,” Josh says. “We’re always trying to keep things a little different and fresh.”

Josh couldn’t have picked better neighbors.

Facing The Chopped Leaf from the street, Starbucks is to the left and a recently opened Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt to the right.

“It’s perfect going from coffee to a salad/ sandwich/wrap and then a dessert,” he says.

Diners in the mood for something spicier might try the ‘Evil Peanut’ dressing, which is really more precocious than evil.

Josh has a lot of customers who drive from the Chilliwack side, and long-term, he hopes to bring a second location to downtown Chilliwack. In the meantime, he’s not resting, working tirelessly to get The Chopped Leaf name in the spotlight.

“I can handle it, it’s really not all that hot,” Josh laughs. “Our chipotle-lime is actually our spiciest. The Evil Peanut just has a little kick to it and goes really well with our salad rolls, which are like a Vietnamese type thing with the clear rice wrap.”

“We help out a lot of groups, and we just donated some gift cards to an organization that helps people with post-traumatic stress disorder,” he says. “We want to be involved in the community and help make a difference.

That’s a big part of what we’re about.”

Regular features keep the menu fresh.

HONESTY and INTEGRITY are my guidelines when I assist my clients in the sale or purchase of their home.

I love my job, I love our community, and I love working with people to help them achieve their real estate goals.

I have been a REALTOR® for over 17 years, and I have made many new friends through my business of real estate.

I not only take pride in my work, but also in how I work with all my clients.

If you are looking for a REALTOR® that puts your wants and needs first, and a REALTOR® who will work hard for you, please give me a call. You will not be disappointed.

Buying or selling? What stays with the house When you purchase a property, it usually includes the land and everything attached to it, such as buildings, trees, shrubs, etc. Most buyers are only interested in purchasing the real estate, not the owner’s personal property. However, some personal property is often included in a deal.

It is helpful for the personal property included to be established in the beginning. A list of inclusions and exclusions should be given to the listing REALTOR® by the seller when the house is put on the market. Fixtures may include: Shades, heaters, ranges, screens, storm windows, lighting fixtures, etc. To save misunderstanding at the closing – and perhaps the sale – it is important that the REALTORS® spell out at the time of negotiations, what is included and what is not.

Before you list your home for sale, take a careful look around. Are there some items that you want to take with you? There may be a dining room chandelier that has been in your family for generations, a ceiling fan in the master bedroom, or the custom bookcases in the den that you can not part with.

Normally all fixtures are conveyed to the new owners when a house is sold. This includes anything that is attached to walls or ceilings and all major built-in appliances. If you have fixtures that you don’t want to convey, tell your REALTOR® what you want excluded

Hard working, understanding and dedicated. These traits are what my clients have come to expect from myself as their REALTOR®.

Whether buying or selling a home, you can expect a high level of service that comes with enthusiasm and integrity along with the results that experience brings. I’m here to answer all your questions and guide you every step of the way.

As part of the Robert Lacerte Team I am proud to be a part of such an established and successful team that has been helping families with their real estate needs for over twenty-five years.

When buying a home, I will help you to avoid common pitfalls, inform you on what expenses to expect and assist you in negotiating the best possible terms on your purchase.

When selling your home I can give you advice on preparing your home for showings, set a competitive asking price, and help you achieve top dollar with our proven marketing system.

If you are thinking about buying or selling, rest assured I will provide the best real estate representation the industry has to offer. Call me Today!

from the agreement at the time you list your property for sale. It is best to remove any light fixtures or ceiling fans that you plan to take with you and replace them before the property is shown. List all items that are not being sold with the house on your home fact sheet to ensure that they will not become an issue when a buyer makes an offer.

When a dispute between a buyer and seller about whether a fixture is included in the sale of a house goes to court, several rules are used in deciding the case.

The most critical test is whether the item is permanently attached to a structure or land by means of nails, bolts, screws, cement, glue or other permanent attachment.

If it is attached, it has become a fixture and has been converted into real property. Wall-to-wall carpets, for example, are attached, but not oriental rugs.

If there is nothing specific in the sales contract about a fixture, it is automatically included in the sale. Sellers may sometimes think they can substitute a cheap replacement for an item they want to remove but did not specify in the contract. This would cause a huge problem upon closing as the fixtures must be the same items as viewed in your home by the purchasers.

To avoid misunderstandings, make certain home sales contracts specify what is included or excluded.

A new registration system for off-road vehicle owners will become mandatory on Jun. 1.

The regulations, which were introduced by the Ministr y of Forests, Lands & Resources last November, stipulates owners of golf carts, dirt bikes, quads, side-by-sides or snowmobiles are legally required to plate and insure their vehicles.

Failure to comply with Bill 13 Off-Road Vehicle Act, could result in a fine of up to $5,000 and seizure your vehicle.

“We’ve already seen a lot of clients but expect more before the rush at the end of the month,” says Tracy Gillan, manager of insurance services at Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union.

Costs for registrations and insurance decals will vary depending on what territory within the province you reside.

“Owners need to come in with their bill of sale as well as any other proof of ownership they have indicating whether the vehicle was bought from a dealer or private individual,” says Gillan.

If you don’t have those, you may need to get a statutory declaration to determine the continuity of ownership, which needs to be notarized. To avoid disappointment, go into your Autoplan agent with all your documentation early, so if further steps are required it can be done prior to the Jun. 1 deadline.

“While it may seem like a lot of red tape right now, the members we see in the branches are ultimately relieved that there will be stricter regulations to improve safety of both riders and property,” Gillan says.

Sports& Recreation School taking a chance on golf The Chilliwack

Progress

Eric

Welsh

604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Pierce Brandon can remember the time he hit a near-perfect golf shot.

It was a par-four hole and he’s usually not big on the driver.

But this time, he hit it on the sweet spot, watched it soar through the air on a perfect line and come to rest on the green.

“It feels like you won the lottery,” he says, allowing just a little smile to appear on his face.

Brandon and many other students at Chilliwack’s C.H.A.N.C.E. Alternate School are in desperate need of something, anything good.

And that’s why a new golf program at the school has been so successful.

“A lot of these guys come from schools that don’t want them, and their view when they get here is like, ‘I’ve already been rejected, so school sucks,’” says C.H.A.N.C.E teacher and program coordinator Mike Beauchene. “This helps change that perspective. It’s belonging. A shirt to wear.

A team to connect to and a carrot for them to come to school every day and try hard.”

Things started at the end of March when Beauchene took six students to the Cheam Mountain Golf Course driving range.

They were joined by eight students from Shxwetetilthet, their Sto:Lo sister school.

“Cheam was able to give us discounted prices and some free lessons on how to hold a club, how to approach a shot,” Beauchene recalls.

“They really, really liked it and that was all the fanning of the fire that we needed to do. Their passion just took off.”

Beauchene watched them banging balls 220 yards into the distance, sometimes straight, sometimes left or right.

“I had a blast trying to

From left, Matt Harmsen, Nick Davidson, Colt Amey and Pierce Brandon make up part of the C.H.A.N.C.E. Alternate school golf team. Other golfers not pictured are Jayden Lamarsh (from C.H.A.N.C.E.) and Kelly Short and John Malloway (from Sto:Lo’s Shxwetetilthet). JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

out-drive these guys, which I didn’t,” he laughs. “We got back and the sense that I got from them is they wanted more.”

A Vedder middle school teacher named Mike Stewart set the school up with clubs and Beauchene started taking the students out twice a week. On Thursdays the group played rounds at Chilliwack’s Kinkora Golf Course.

“The one rule we had to be on the team is respect,” Beauchene says. “It didn’t matter if you shot 62 or 150, we wanted to make sure respect was the key — on the golf course and at school.”

If the students doubted Beauchene’s resolve, the set them straight one week when he revoked golfing

privileges.

“We noticed the disrespect becoming systemic and I told them I wasn’t going to bring them out if they were being disrespectful to the other teachers and staff around here,” he explains. “They really turned it around after that, actually became leaders in some of those classes, and we were able to take them back out.”

“We were being idiots, taking it for granted and he put us in our place,” Brandon agrees. “It was good and had to be done.”

For four golfers, weekly practices led to entry in the city-wide school golf tournament, where Brandon, Colt Amey, Matt Harmsen and Nick Davidson faced golfers from Vedder middle school,

Chilliwack secondary school and GW Graham.

Each of the C.H.A.N.C.E. golfers walked the course with an opponent from another school, and they finished in a tie for third.

“I was in the first group and I was pretty nervous, but I tried to stay calm and I actually got par on the first three holes,” Brandon says.

“Then it started to fall apart and I actually six-putted one hole. But it was a really cool experience.”

Beauchene and cocoaches Colin Willms, Sean McSweeney, Rick Joe, Hartley Klyne and Michael Lands (the first three from C.H.A.N.C.E. and the latter three from Shxwetetilthet) walked the course with the students.

“The thing I enjoyed

most was seeing the respect our guys gave to the other teams,” Beauchene says.

“On just about every shot I heard, ‘Great shot’ or ‘Great putt.’ The camaraderie between the teams was awesome.”

The school year is almost done, but Beauchene says the golf program is here to stay.

Brandon’s happy to hear it.

“I think everyone’s gotten a lot closer than we were before, where things were really cliquey,” he says, talking about the golf program’s effect within the walls of C.H.A.N.C.E. “I know a couple guys who didn’t like each other worked out their beef on a golf day, and I think we’re becoming a real solid group.”

For Beauchene, proof of success comes in a conversation he had shortly after the city-wide tournament ended.

“One kid was down that entire day, to the point where he had to go off and sit by himself and he told me, ‘I had stuff going on at home, but I was able to play golf for four hours and get my mind off of it,’” Beauchene says. “And I said, ‘That’s what sports is. It’s therapy.

It’s just going out, forgetting about everything and hitting a white ball around.”

“For a while your only concern is getting that white ball into that hole,” he continues. “You’re able to release everything else that’s going on.”

Last tourney before PGA Tour A two-under-par 142 left Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp eight shots off the pace at last week’s Sandpiper Open golf tournament.

The Vancouver Golf Tour event ran two rounds at the Harrison Mills course.

Clapp carded a two-under-par 70 in Thursday’s opening round, including three birdies and an eagle on the fourth.

An even-par 72 knocked him back on Friday, including a double-bogey six on the par-four ninth.

Chilliwack native Chad McAdie was in the mix, finishing in a tie for 13th with an even-par 144.

McAdie’s second round included an eagle

www.

CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1

on the 15th and three birdies on the back nine.

But bogeys on the 17th and 18th kept him from climbing higher.

The amateur side saw Chilliwack Golf Club representative Connor O’Dell tie for second, one shot behind Langley’s Tyler Roope.

O’Dell played one round, carding a 73 that included three birdies balanced by a doublebogey on the ninth.

Kaleb Fisher struggled to a 10-over-par 82, tying for seventh in the field of 13.

Fisher carded birdies on the fourth and 12th holes but had issues down the stretch, with bogeys on three of the last six holes and a double bogey on the 13th. ● Clapp continues to lead the VGT Order of Merit standings with 7150 points, well ahead of second place Ryan

Williams (5805).

But he’ll be leaving for a while as he heads out on the PGA Tour Canada.

The first tournament starts Thursday at the Point Grey Golf Club, home of the PC Financial Open.

Clapp made his dazzling PGA Tour Canada debut at this tournament last year, tying for second place.

FRESH, DIVERSE, AND DOWN-TO-EARTH

Cascades chase Canadian crown lenge.”

The Cascades are coming in with plenty of reason for confidence – last weekend, Chilliwack natives Aaron Pauls and Connor McLellan finished onetwo in the amateur division at the Vancouver Golf Tour’s Major #2 at Chilliwack Golf Club (the Cascades’ home course).

They two Chilliwack natives will be joined at the Golf Canada event by Connor O’Dell (Maple Ridge), Zachary Olson (Strathmore, AB) and Cody Stewart (Abbotsford).

“It’s a really big deal when we see our top couple of players having a result like that (on the VGT),” Bertram said.

“To win a team event like the Golf Canada championship, your best players have to be your best players. It bolsters the confidence of the entire lineup.”

Bertram’s status as head coach of the Canadian men’s golf team for the 2015 Summer Universiade is

another fascinating subplot this week.

The top three finishers at Golf Canada event will comprise the Canadian team that Bertram will coach at the Universiade, which runs July 3-14 in Gwangju, South Korea.

“That’s something that’s playing in the back of everybody’s mind, and I’ll be interested,” Bertram said. “It will be tempting to think forward to that event in South Korea, but just like our team does, I have to keep my eyes on what’s going on this week. If it should work out in the Cascades’ favour (with a UFV golfer qualifying for Team Canada), that would be a really nice cherry on top. But the priority is winning that team title.”

For all the incredible success the University of the Fraser Valley men’s golf team has achieved over the past decade, one tournament title has eluded them: the Golf Canada University/College Championship.

The Cascades have won five of the past six PacWest conference titles, and have medaled six times at the CCAA national championships since 2007, including gold in 2013 and bronze last fall.

But their bestever result at the Golf Canada event is fourth, and last year they finished fifth after coming in as the No. 1 seed.

All of which is to say, head coach Chris Bertram’s crew has a

chance to make some program history this week as they tee it up against 19 university and college teams from across the nation at Cutten Fields in Guelph, Ont. The 72-hole stroke play event tees off Tuesday and wraps up Friday.

“From the perspective of our players, it’s maybe the highestprofile event we play throughout the year,” said Bertram, who identified the defending champion Manitoba Bisons along with the UBC Thunderbirds and Victoria Vikes (both three-time men’s division winners) as the teams to beat. “Having those bigger schools there adds some cachet to the event, because we don’t see them throughout the year.

“And although we’ve never won this particular event, we’ve been close. Our current group of players have great confidence in their abilities and are excited for the chal-

After a long and full life Evelyn died peacefully on May 11, 2015 with family by her side. Predeceased by husband Roy, brother Morris, son Robert, daughter-in-law Gail, and grandson Paul.

Evelyn was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on October 28, 1920.

When she was thirteen she moved with her family to British Columbia, settling in Rosedale.

In her youth Evelyn was active in community recreation and was an accomplished gymnast. She taught gym classes as a young woman in the Chilliwack school system and in many surrounding communities. She loved music and dancing and she played both piano and accordion at local dances and events.

Evelyn gave generously of her time during her life to many community organizations and charities and she and her husband Roy enjoyed delivering meals on wheels together in the community.

When her children were grown Evelyn began working with Correctional Services of Canada as a recreational director in a prison for women in Abbotsford. During her working life she also managed a small par three golf course in the Fraser Valley.

Evelyn had a great love of the ocean and she and Roy spent many happy times fishing, beachcombing, and camping by the ocean in their beloved camper van. She also looked forward to extended family vacations to the Southern Gulf Islands where she could spend time with all her children and grandchildren drawing and painting, hiking, and walking the beaches.

Evelyn was known for her independent spirit and strong principles and she set a great example for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was extremely proud of her large family and loved to hear about all their activities, interests, and accomplishments. In her later years she especially delighted in the visits from her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Evelyn was lovingly cared for in her final year by the wonderful staff at Glenwood Care Home especially Dr. Lachlan Macintosh who understood and respected her wish to be in charge of her life to the very end.

Evelyn is survived by her son Maurice, daughter Brenda (Mark), daughterin-law Joanne, grandchildren Roy (Kathy), Chris (Kim), Jason, Jennifer (Chad), Brian (Sue), Anne (Liam), Leah, Michael, and step granddaughter Michelle (Brad) great grandchildren Tavis, Jordynn, Brydon, Ella, Beth, James, Kyle, Sophia, Asha, Brodie, Coen, Maielle, Mason and Hailey.

A celebration of life will be held on July 2nd from 1pm-4pm at the Chilliwack Golf and County Club. In lieu of flowers donations to the Salvation Army or the S.P.C.A. are appreciated.

Incline your ears to the sweet melody of this Prisoner. Arise, and lift up your voices, that haply they that are fast asleep may be awakened.

Say: O ye who are as dead!

The Hand of Divine bounty proffereth unto you the Water of Life. Hasten and drink your fill. Whoso hath been reborn in this Day, shall never die; whoso remaineth dead, shall never live.
