Monument dream becomes reality Hundreds gather as airmen from a crashed B-24 bomber are remembered Jessica Peters The Progress

Derek Watson offers an emotional tribute to his friend Sgt. David Langlands – one of 11 men killed when their B-24 Liberator bomber crashed into a mountainside near Chilliwack on June 1, 1945. Saturday marked the unveiling of a tribute to the fallen airmen. JESSICA PETERS/ PROGRESS

crashed into the top peak of Mt. Welsh. They had been stationed in Abbotsford, and were headed out on an early morning training flight that would traverse parts of southern B.C. Their story is written on an impressive memorial erected in the park recently.

When their plane went missing, one of the largest search efforts in modern Canadian history ensued.

Over 16 days, 53 aircraft and 200 men scoured 700,000 miles. When the crash site was finally found, a quiet service was held on the mountainside. The crash site has since been lost to the ever changing mountainside. Decades later, a plaque was placed in the valley to commemorate the men. But that, too, was lost at some point.

Still, the men were not entirely forgotten.

memories of those 11 men were honoured in a moving ceremony unveiling the brand new monument. Thompson Regional Park is a tranquil spot along Chilliwack Lake Road, about six kilometres from the Vedder bridge. The monument sits near the back of the park, and its centrepiece is a granite slab with the men’s names inscribed.

Their story is also etched out in two more slabs that reach out to each side like airplane wings. And sitting in the very front is an engine from their downed airplane, recovered from Airplane Creek.

The effort to properly and permanently honour these men began again in earnest a couple of years ago. It’s been a colossal effort by several parties, including Air Cadets from squadrons in Abbotsford (861 Silver Fox) and Chilliwack (Airwolf 147), Legion Branch 280, 192 Construction

Engineering Flight, and about 30 private companies. Their tasks ranged from research and design, to fundraising for the project.

One of the most important tasks for organizer Ron Shore was to bring family members of the men to the ceremony, to share the monument with them, and to hear their stories.

Watson traveled from Victoria, B.C. to be here this weekend, and share the story of his lost friendship.

Two of Langlands’ nieces also made the trip, although they came from Norway and the United Kingdom to be here.

Francis Langland’s message to the crowd of about 300 was simply a list of names. She carefully and clearly read the names of Canadian soldiers who died in Norway, and are buried there.

When Royal Air Force Sgt. David Langlands left to serve in the Second World War, his friends and family were understandably concerned.

They would miss the man who was studying Morse code to become an RAF radio operator, and who helped others plant Victory Gardens in his community. They worried for him, but not for long.

“We were all relieved to find out he was posted to Canada, for training purposes,” recalls Derek Watson. “Safe haven.”

Watson chokes back a lump in his throat, tears in his eyes.

His family and the Langlands lived in a shared home in the early 1940s, he explains, and the two befriended each other. They became as close as brothers, with Watson the younger of the two.

One day, the families received a letter saying he would be coming back to England soon.

“We were looking forward to him coming home,” he said. “Sadly, this was not to be.”

Langlands was 33 on June 1,

Cities debate marijuana dispensary authority Tom Fletcher Black Press With medical marijuana dispensaries continuing to open in defiance of federal law, more B.C. communities have joined the call for local authority to regulate what are often little more than retail pot stores.

Lower Mainland communities found majority support at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention to bypass legal wrangling over medical marijuana access, as a court challenge contin-

ues against the Conservative government’s strict controls on growing and selling it legally.

Maple Ridge Coun. Corisa Bell said other cities are facing the same issues as Vancouver, where about 100 dispensaries have opened in a free-for all with street-level marketing to young people. Vancouver ignored protests from federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose to use authorized sources of medical marijuana, and adopted a licensing system last spring to keep pot shops away from schools, community centres and each other.

Vancouver set a licence fee of $30,000 for dispensaries and $1,000 for non-profit “compassion clubs,” with Victoria preparing to follow suit. But other communities don’t have the same revolutionary zeal.

Esquimalt Coun. Susan Lowe, whose community banned the pipe-headed mascot “Bongy” from hawking wares of a marijuana paraphernalia store in 2013, said she isn’t qualified to regulate medical pot. The Lower Mainland proposal also doesn’t prevent a patchwork of different rules in adjoining communities, Lowe said.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said the latest resolution seems intended to stick to municipal authority over location and zoning, but it doesn’t say so explicitly, and the UBCM loses credibility when it wanders outside its mandate.

Port Alberni Coun. Jack McLeman said he supports the two-year-old UBCM endorsement of legalizing pot, although his drug of choice for pain is Scotch whisky. He said his council has been approached about medical dispensaries, and invited applications, but

no one followed through.

“Just legalize the junk,” McLeman said. “Don’t tell me it’s your aspirin.”

Maple Ridge Coun. Craig Speirs drew laughter from delegates when he said there was “some consternation” when his city’s first dispensary opened, “but it’s proved to have a calming effect on the neighbourhood.”

The motion to support municipal control over pot stores passed in a show of hands, with about one third of those attending opposed.

Volunteers deal with the ‘ugliness left behind’ River clean up nets tonnes of trash Jessica Peters The Progress

Connecting with people in need Sam Bates The Progress Chilliwack Connect on Oct. 3 is a day of connection, pampering and support for those in our community who need it most.

Brought to Chilliwack in 2010, the annual event has since linked hundreds of people in need with services to improve their lives.

Centralized under one roof, service providers stem from healthcare, outreach and advocacy, employment or financial counselling, day-care and more.

Chilliwack Connect is for anyone who is struggling, whether they are homeless, new to the city, or low-income working parents.

Richard Niezen and the entire Chilliwack Connect Committee have worked hard to provide access to as many resources as possible.

“When people arrive, they’ll be paired up with one of about

200 volunteers”, says Niezen.

The one-one-one connection ensures that each guest gets the most of the day.

Volunteers help guests get registered, set up with appointments and appropriate services, and hooked up with all of the free amenities.

“Let’s make it work for you,” says Niezen.

For some, Chilliwack Connect is life-changing.

Support from services like the Ann Davis Transition Society, the Salvation Army, GT Hiring Solutions or others can help guests make positive changes for their future.

“It’s a day of pampering, too,” says Niezen. There’s free hair washing, cutting and styling, as well as foot care and make-up stations.

“It’s a really special day for the guests,” Niezen remarks.

“They’re in a safe environment, and we don’t ask anything of them. We support them.”

This true community initia-

tive is run on volunteer labour and personal and corporate donations.

“We’ve had amazing support from local businesses,” said Niezen, as he began to list the many organizations, like Hofstede’s Country Barn and Meadow Valley Meats, who have donated their time, support, or products over the years.

While guests experience all that the event has to offer, their kids can enjoy activities and snacks in the Little Footsteps Child Care, their belongings can be safely stored on-site, and they can even get their bicycles serviced.

Precious memories will be made as guests share a table, unleash their creativity at the art station, or take home a professional family or individual portrait.

And, of course, a continental breakfast and a hot, hearty roast beef lunch will ensure that everyone is well-fed.

Neizen, a chef by trade,

recalls standing in the gym during the first year of Chilliwack Connect, just after they’d served lunch to all the guests.

“It was exhausting,” he began, “but it was absolutely amazing to see this huge group of people, enjoying a meal, smiling and laughing and talking to each other.”

Thanks to the outstanding community support, no one will go home empty handed.

There are racks of free clothing, footwear and warm blankets to pick from, and everyone will receive a gift bag filled with hygiene products, snacks, and other donated items.

If you would like to support this event, donations can be made at www.gofundme.com/ chilliwackconnect.

Chilliwack Connect takes place on Oct. 3 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the First Avenue Christian Assembly (46510 First Ave).

Almost 4,000 kilograms of trash and metal was carted out of the Chilliwack River Valley on Sunday morning.

The garbage removal was part of the annual BC Rivers Day efforts to keep the province’s waterways clean, in the face of problem polluters.

About 300 volunteers showed up, willing to get their hands and boots dirty for the cause. They were assigned places to clean and in total found 3,150 kg of garbage, and 730 kg of metal.

That doesn’t even include the items not weighed, like discarded tires, cardboard and other recyclables, deposit bottles, wood, and propane and gas tanks.

That brings the grand total of garbage collected off the Chilliwack Vedder River since 2002 to just over 100 metric tonnes.

Chilliwack Hope MLA Laurie Throness was among the volunteers, and was sent to help cleanup one of the “shooter alleys,” on Bench Road, littered with shotgun shells.

“I was astounded by the beauty of the scenery,” he said. “It’s an amazing place and most of it is clean. But my happiness was dampened a little when I got to the dump site, to the thousands of shot gun shells, smashed whiskey bottles.”

He said the province is 93 per cent Crown land, and the government relies on residents to do their part to keep the wilderness free of garbage.

“There will always be people who want to enjoy the beauty of the CRV and leave their ugliness behind and that’s a sad thing,” Throness said. “I will always be an advocate for more education and enforcement, and I spoke to environment officials Continued: RIVER/ p4

Volunteers earn thanks for river clean up RIVER from page 3 about that as early as last week, and I will continue to advocate for that.”

FVRD Area E Director Orion Engar was also on hand for the cleanup. He noted that in other places, including Germany, littering isn’t an issue.

“Everybody cleans up, and they have competitions between the various communities,” to see who

can keep their neighbourhoods the cleanest.

He said Sunday’s volunteers were “setting the standard and are the gathering force” in getting more people to start taking care of the environment.

“Sooner or later this momentum is going to build more and more, to where they’re all being as conscious as they are in Germany,” Engar noted.

Chris Gadsden, chairman of the

Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Society, said he and his committee are “very pleased with a record turnout of volunteers and that there are so many families that are concerned about the welfare of this river watershed.

“As well getting this garbage off the riparian zone of the river, it prevents it being washed down river to the Fraser and out to the Salish Sea.”

The man who died following an incident with police at an Agassiz care home last week has been identified.

The man was 88-yearold Rene Armand Vaugeois, said the BC Coroners Service on Tuesday.

Vaugeois was a resident of Cheam Village, an independent-living seniors’ residence in Agassiz.

Shortly after 7 a.m. on Sept. 23, Vaugeois became involved in an encounter with Agassiz RCMP officers at the residence. He went into medical distress and died at the scene.

Because of the police involvement, the Independent Investigation Office of British Columbia was called in to investigate.

Initial reports said the man was holding a sharp object near his stomach, “believed to be a knife,” when police arrived.

Vaugeois sustained an injury in the period immediately preceding his death, the coroners service said. Although some reports stated that it was the cause of his demise, the injury was found to be minor in nature and its role in his death is still under investigation.

An RCMP member was also stabbed in the leg during the altercation. He was treated and released from hospital.

Both the BC Coroners Ser vice and the Independent Investigations Office continue to investigate.

Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact the IIO toll-free witness line at 1-855-446-8477 (TIPS).

Airmen remembered AIRMEN from Front Just as the Royal Air Force members who died in Canada will be remembered forever, she said, Canada’s soldiers are remembered in Norway each year, on May 17.

Her sister, Fay Jenkin, also spoke.

She said the monument was “humbling, and so greatly appreciated.”

“This is a beautiful, grand memorial,” she said.

Nick Hammond traveled from New Zealand, a nephew to Gordon Hammond.

“It has been a long journey to be here,” he said, to realize some closure for the families who lost these men. He heard about the memorial by a stroke of luck. While doing a bit of research recently on the internet, he fell upon a news article about the project.

While his mother has passed and, of course, his grandmother, he did manage to bring a special family heirloom with him.

“I brought my father’s watch for a part of him to be here with me,” he said, holding his arm up.

“We are a small but extended war family,” he said of other survivors.

“Death has touched us all and we all have a sadness.”

Hammond’s grandmother took the news of the loss of her son the hardest, he added.

“She collapsed into tears and never quite recovered,” he said.

He read the War Mother’s Prayer, and thanked those who put the project together.

www.theprogress.com

“Thank you very much,” he said.

“These boys will not be forgotten.

Thank you, Canada.”

Numerous speakers took to the podium, including Legion president Bill Higgdon, Mark Strahl, MLA Laurie Throness, and FVRD Area E Director Orion Engar.

The day was marked with heavy rains, blocking the view of the mountain range, but the sky opened up in time for a flyover from the Fraser Blues Formation Demonstration team. They crossed over the park three times in formation, followed by a final ‘missing man’ formation.

There are still few final touches for the park’s memorial, Shore said after the ceremony.

“We are still short $18,000,” he said, and are accepting donations.

They are also hoping somebody will chip in for some sod to be placed around the monument, where the ground was disturbed from the installation.

He’s worked tirelessly over the last year to get the project completed, and was thrilled to see it all come together on Saturday.

“It was absolutely exhilarating,” he said. “It was phenomenal.”

Donations under $500 can be made through their GoFundMe account, while larger donations can be organized through Shore, by calling him at 604-857-2488.

Trash talking

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

In what’s becoming a biannual ritual, volunteers were at the riverside again this weekend, hauling out the tonnes of garbage that others have left behind. (See story, page 3.)

They gathered more that 4,000 kilograms of junk – equivalent in weight to about three vehicles.

And that wasn’t all of it. That didn’t include the recyclables, or the items too big to weigh.

Of course, Chilliwack’s back country is no stranger to dumping.

Indeed, the problem exists almost everywhere in the Lower Mainland.

The mounds of trash seen here are just a fraction of what some people leave for others to clean up.

So who are these people?

What process occurs in their brain that allows them to believe their garbage is someone else’s problem?

Granted, they are a minority. Most of us can equate an appreciation for the outdoors with a desire to leave it as we found it. The gulf does not seem that wide.

And yet for some, it is insurmountable.

Perhaps they are dense enough to think there is staff that patrol the trails after hours just to clean up their mess.

Or that dumping fees are higher than the gas it costs them to dump their filth in the back country.

But more likely they are spoiled, self-centred individuals with a sense of entitlement – people who expect a campsite to be clean when they arrive, but don’t care how they leave it.

Laws don’t seem to deter these people. Signs are apparently too difficult to read.

Solutions are hard to come by.

What we do have is control over our own behaviour.

Become an outspoken advocate for a clean backcountry. Lead by example by packing out what you’ve carried in. Don’t hesitate to report a polluter. And don’t miss an opportunity to tell a politician you are fed up and tired of waiting for action. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

B.C. V IEWS

Inner children have taken over city hall We’re seeing the effects of our post-literate, feelings-based education system and media on the federal election. Candidate bozo eruptions are becoming more frequent.

Most recently a Liberal candidate on Vancouver Island admitted she has long believed that hijacked jetliners could not have destroyed the World Trade Centre on 9-11, that it was all “a lie.” That was “my truth,” she said, in the lingo of the feelings-first, innerchild crowd.

Now she’s “moved on” to a slightly different fact-free conclusion, that we’ll just never know how those 3,000 people were murdered. And she wants to go to Ottawa and help run this country.

Feelings-based beliefs were on display again at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver, where bozo eruptions by local politicians come in

bunches.

This year’s main outbreak was an emotional demand that the B.C. government enact a provincial bill of rights. This magic municipal Magna Carta “recognizes the right of every resident to live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean Tom water and vibrant FLETCHER ecosystems.”

Alert taxpayers may wonder, how many lawyers would it take to define “vibrant”? More on that in a moment.

Local councils across B.C. and around the country have been pitched this scheme by the David Suzuki Foundation, which calls it the Blue Dot campaign. In short, it’s part of the bigger plan to save

the planet by crushing capitalism, currently being pushed by the Pope, the UN and others.

Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps was one of the most passionate backers. She quoted the plea presented to her council by an 11-year-old recruited by the Blue Dot team.

There are many such children, terrified by indoctrination about the imminent destruction of Earth and all its cuddly creatures that has bombarded them since they learned to speak. They are found in the wealthiest countries in human history, those enjoying health, comfort and opportunity not imagined by anyone 100 years ago.

In the vast, air-conditioned hall of the Vancouver Convention Centre, there were several attempts at adult supervision.

Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill noted that unlike intrinsic rights articulated in Canada’s charter,

www.theprogress.com w ContactUs: Co

The Chilliwack

Progress

freedom of assembly and so forth, this is an attempt to invent new rights that are actually demands for “others to do something for you.”

Indeed, if we’re going to have government by 11-year-olds, we might as well throw in a right to free ice cream.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz went off on a rant about how this new “vision” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fiddling its diesel fuel emission results.

The resolution calls for “access to justice when environmental rights are infringed,” which sounds like code for some sort of costly new legal aid program to pursue every individual grievance.

Meanwhile in the real world, class action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions

of cars. This is what happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to justice.

O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legislation that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all that. One more layer of bureaucracy, that’s the Victoria spirit.

Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb pleaded with rural delegates to reject this “David Suzuki propaganda” that is designed to put more roadblocks in the way of the very resource industries that provide our modern comforts.

Alas, the resolution passed in a show of hands that should have been, but wasn’t, put to a counted vote.

ICBC has outlived its usefulness The recent announcement in The Progress of yet another increase in insurance rates ICBC clearly demonstrate that they are out of control. Who are these people? A 6.7 per cent increase is not sustainable by the people of this province. It does not take a rocket scientist to understand that we in Canada are in a recession. In the July issue of the magazine BC Business they published the top 100 companies in B.C. ICBC was listed as number six in 2014 up from seven in 2013 by 10 per cent with revenue of over $5 billion. The province drained $160 million from the so-called private insurance. ICBC claims that they (the Province) are taking money from the excess

capital. Do we care where the money is coming from, it is still revenue. Frankly, it is time for ICBC to open their books.

Where exactly is the money going?

There are multiple insurance agencies right across the province and they are thriving. The line has to be drawn sometime.

ICBC needs to be accountable, scale down their staff, reduce benefits and salaries, seek lawyers who will work on a contingency, set limits on what they will pay for medical benefits.

This dog and pony show needs to end. The ICBC monolith really has outlived its usefulness.

Do we need public insurance at any cost, especially since

they have their hand in every aspect almost of our lives, and we have no recourse. The province have even surrendered their mandate on licensing to ICBC. We absolutely need a referendum on public insurance.

The idea of this kind of socialized government protection has long gone by the wayside along with several other measures like Air Care.

Finally the federal government has stated several times that public insurance should be eliminated in Canada, and for me that is a good enough reason to see the province of British Columbia move into the 21st century and dump public insurance.

Strahl signs accounted for Re: “Conser vatives called out on electioneering, Progress Readers Write, Sept.

23.

The NDP has brought up concerns regarding Mark Strahl’s billboards in Chilliwack and Hope, and I would like to address these concerns.

According to the Canada Elections Act, there are two options available to a campaign in regards to

existing MP billboards: the first option is to cover up the billboard for the duration of a campaign; the second option is to account for the cost of the creation, erection, and rental of the billboard in the campaign’s election advertising budget. Our campaign has chosen to go with the latter approach.

This means that the Mark Strahl Campaign has paid for the existing signs, and the

costs are accounted for under the campaign spending limits. These signs are authorized by me, the Official Agent for Mark Strahl, and each sign has a notice on them stating that fact. Our campaign has confirmed with the Office of the Commissioner of Elections Canada that these measures are fully compliant with the Canada Elections Act. While our oppo-

nents broke Hope’s campaign sign laws for six weeks, the Mark Strahl Campaign has honoured and respected all election laws, locally and federally.

All of our expenses, including these billboards, are paid for by the campaign and authorized by the Official Agent.

Thinking Differently Pays Off

Chilliwack Votes insert on Sept.

18. A $60K family income, incidentally, would place that family in the top 25 per cent of residents.

What is more important is that the median (middle) family income in Chilliwack is $26,035. That means that fully one-half of Chilliwack families earn less than $26,035 annually.

Statistics Canada reports the median income of B.C. families is $74,150 (2013), and the Canadian median is $76,550. The Conservative government bud-

get indicates that a typical family earns $120,000 yearly. This typical family would fall in the top 9 per cent of Chilliwack’s population. The word “typical” rather than “median” shows that it has some other meaning.

Now let’s go back to the income splitting discussion. When half the families in Chilliwack have an income of less than $26,035, income splitting and saving money in TFSAs is not likely to be on the top of their mind, nor is it of much benefit to them.

The success of the Odlum Brown Model Portfolio since inception is an example of how our disciplined investment approach can help you stay ahead of the crowd.

Is income splitting really an issue?

I found Mr. Schlitt’s letter of September 30 (More numbers on income splitting) informative in determining the effect of income splitting using the example of a $60,000 family income. It is useful to remember that this issue began with a partisan dig at the Liberal and NDP position on income splitting.

It seems important that we localize this debate and examine who in Chilliwack might actually benefit from income splitting. I will point out some numbers presented in The Progress’

Boppin’ birthday bash at the Centre Tom Lavin has been ‘Boppin’ with the Blues’ for almost four decades, and you can be sure that his guitar will be ringing when he and The Legendary Powder Blues hit Chilliwack in celebration of The Centre’s fifth anniversary on Oct. 3.

A true icon of the Vancouver music scene, the Juno awardwinning Powder Blues have been Canada’s leading blues band since the release of their debut album ‘Uncut’ in 1979, bringing listeners a love of the blues with hits such as What have I Been Drinkin’? and Doin’ it Right. Marking their own 37th anniversary this year, Tom Lavin and the Legendary Powder Blues’ performance in the HUB International Theatre will be a uniquely unforgettable event, featuring some of British Columbia’s most longstanding talent in celebration of one of the province’s newest premier destinations for experiencing arts and entertainment.

With its pure emotion, uplifting sound, and instantly danceable groove, there is perhaps no other style as timeless, appealing, and powerful as the blues – an observation that Tom and his years of experience on the road can confirm.

“One of the great things about the blues is that it is the foundation for all North American music including rock and roll, rockabilly, swing, bop, jazz, stride and even ragtime,” says Lavin. “An element of playing in Powder Blues that I’ve always loved is that the age demographic of our audience has always been so wide – from five to 95, no kidding! I still enjoy having teens and people in their early 20s come up to me and say, ‘I never knew I liked the blues till I heard you guys.’ I think because this style of music is a classic art form there will always be a fan base – there are more blues festivals in the world today than at any other time in history.”

The huge appeal and enduring presence of the Powder Blues has meant that Lavin has seen the story of the blues in Canada play out from the very beginning – from when he first arrived in Vancouver from Chicago in the late ‘60s, to

Blues legend Tom Lavin and his Powder Blues band help the Cultural Centre celebrated its fifth anniversary

forming the band that helped put Canada on the map for that unmistakable style.

“I first heard blues growing up in Chicago on Maxwell Street and later in ‘folk’ concerts around town,” Lavin reflects.

“In ’65 I saw Buddy Guy and Junior Wells which blew me away and got me started playing the blues. When I arrived in Vancouver in ’69 there were a lot of bands around, but few played the way I was used to, but by ’78 we had Powder Blues going and several other bands locally were doing that kind of music. I first met and played with Dutch Mason

in Calgary around 1980 and really enjoyed his singing and playing and remember hearing Brent Parkin and Hound Dog in Winnipeg, David Wilcox in Toronto and Steven Barry in Montreal doing blues too.”

And as he continues reflecting on his time on the road, it looks like Lavin’s love-affair with Canada’s blues circuit is just as timeless as the ring of his guitar “The majority of our touring over the last 37 years on the road has been in Canada,” he goes on, “and we’ve played from Victoria to St. John’s Newfoundland and

11

nearly every place in between.

Canadian audiences have always stuck by us and for that we are truly grateful, so every night on stage we do our best to give back what we’ve received. When we land back in Vancouver from anywhere else it’s always heartwarming to smell the ocean and know you’re home.”

It is in this live setting that the inspirational, stirring, and infectious essence of Tom Lavin and the Legendary Powder Blues’ sound comes to life, as Lavin describes “the best moment is always when the band unites in a magic way – there are so many factors involved to make things just light up! The sound has to be just right; the groove has to be hypnotic; the telepathic connection between the players comes together. When this happens the music achieves another order of magnitude; it becomes an ‘entity’ and can seemingly march around a room on its own. At times like this I have felt that rather than me playing my music, that music was being played through me!” And with their performance celebrating the anniversary of Chilliwack Cultural Centre being just around the corner, the opportunity to experience this incredible rush for yourself with this extra special show is one you do not want to miss.

“We always try to play some of our best-known songs so nobody goes away disappointed” concludes Lavin. “Playing live allows us the additional freedom of improvising which can be exciting for both the band and the audience. We will likely play some extended jams that allow the band members to experiment and shine individually. The bottom line is that we never wanted to be a band folks could dance to; we wanted to be a band that it was hard NOT to dance to. I expect musical fun and energy every time we play a show and I’m sure the Chilliwack show will be no exception.”

Harpdog Brown makes return to Chilliwack Canadian harmonica legend Harpdog Brown (Maple Blues Award Winner, Juno nominee and Muddy Award winner) and internationally acclaimed blues maverick Little Victor (double Blues Music Awards nominee) are coming to town with their unique blend of old school down home blues.

They both have 35 years of bad road under their belts, thousands of shows, many albums and a small but faithful group of fans that keeps growing show after show.

Harpdog is no stranger to Chilliwack blues fans and music lovers, having filled Bozzini’s Upstairs Lounge on his annual visit for the past half dozen years. On the other hand, this is Little Victor’s first Canadian tour, so a great opportunity to see him perform live.

Little Victor’s shows are often described as a mix of real-deal blues and cabaret stage antics.

These two fellows will play two different shows under one roof. They will both share vocal duties and Victor’s guitar will provide the perfect support to Brown’s harmonica wailing.

Victor has been playing, touring and recording with blues legends like Louisiana Red, Hubert Sumlin, RL Burnside, Robert Belfour and many more.

His very successful Juke Joint association with Louisiana Red, another American expat living in Europe, lasted until Red’s death in 2012.

They recorded two outstanding albums together that are already considered classic blues records. Their first, Back To the Black Bayou, sold more than 50,000 copies and won many prestigious prizes on both sides of the pond.

Victor has been called the King of grit and the antithesis of meaningless virtuosity.

Harpdog Brown is a character larger than life and one of the best blues harp players to be found anywhere. The chemistry between these two artists is truly something, it’s hard to believe this is their first tour together.

Harpdog Brown and Little Victor play Friday Oct 2. at Bozzini’s (45739 Hocking Ave). Early show is at 6 p.m., late show is at 9:30 p.m.

Doors open 90 minutes prior to each performance. Tickets are $21 and $24, available now at Bozzini’s. Call 604-792-0744 to reserve by phone.

In addition to a new curriculum, new teachers and new schedules, kids also make new friends once a school year begins. While some familiar faces carry through from grade to grade, chances are youngsters will meet new students who will soon become good friends.

Some kids might need some assistance in making friends, some that might last a lifetime.

Children should be given the opportunity to explore friendships outside of the classroom. Establish a carpool or invite a classmate over for a play date.

Unstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great way to establish friendships. Invite new children over each time to see which friendships are the strongest, but make sure you are not pushing a friendship on your child.

One of the quickest ways to build friendships is through common interests. Encourage your child to join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kids with similar interests.

Sometimes finding reasons to talk other children is the most difficult step to making new friends. Sharing a common interest removes this barrier. (continues on page 14)

Wednesday, September 30, 2015 The Chilliwack Progress (New Friends continued from page 13) Children who are polite, well-mannered and know how to follow direction are better equipped to attract friends. Children who misbehave may be shunned by other kids and their parents who do not want the hassle of an unruly youngster coming over to play.

Respectful children who are honest, trustworthy and capable of sustaining eye contact and making small talk may find it easy to make friends.

Free Drop-in Early Learning Centres in Chilliwack StrongStart is a free, drop-in, early learning program for children (ages 0-5 years) accompanied by a parent or caregiver. StrongStart Centres are located at the following schools: Bernard Elementary School Cultus Lake Elementary School McCammon Traditional Elementary Little Mountain Elementary School

Strathcona Elementary School Unsworth Elementary School Watson Elementary School Rosedale Traditional School

As parents, you can improve your child’s chances of making friends by getting friendly with their classmates’ parents. You do not have to become bosom buddies with everyone, but making connections with fellow parents can reinforce the value of friendship to your children. Socializing as families also presents other opportunities to get together and solidify relationships.

As a parent you can talk to your children about their strengths and positive attributes.

Emphasizing kids’ best traits will increase their self-esteem, and that sense of self-worth can make it easier for them to make friends. A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meeting new people, but a child who can proudly stand behind his or her accomplishments may attract friends easily.

School is about more than just hitting the books. It’s also a prime opportunity for kids to develop their personal skills and make new friends.

Childproof your home Childproofing a home can be more difficult for first-time parents who don’t have the trained eye for hazard spots. Here are some ways parents can make their homes safer for newborns and young children.

Turn down the water heater. Young children are susceptible to burns from hot water, even if that water temperature is fine for the rest of the family. Mayo Clinic recommends setting the temperature on the hot water heater to below 49C. Always test the water before your child gets into the tub.

Store potentially dangerous household items high up. Childproof locks on cupboards and drawers can be an effective deterrent but don’t underestimate how inquisitive youngsters can be.

Remove magnets from the refrigerator. Small magnets on a refrigerator can fall off which then become a choking hazard.

Secure flat-screen televisions. Today’s flat-screen televisions are lightweight but can be easily tipped over thanks to their often topheavy structure. Such televisions should be mounted to the wall or kept high off the ground where kids can’t reach them.

Keep cribs away from the window. Cords hanging from blinds could present a choking hazard. In addition, cribs located too close to a window can expose babies to the elements, potentially upsetting their rest and making them susceptible to sunburn.

Dazzling Duet in Spectacular Morning Concert

Sarah Hagen returns to The Centre with Special Guest Rebecca Wenham here are few experiences more inspirational than witnessing a pair of world-class musicians in perfect union with one another – and even fewer better ways to start the day! And with the astounding pianist Sarah Hagen returning once again to the intimate setting of The Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s Rotary Hall Studio Theatre on October 16, 2015 at 10:30am, alongside globally-renowned cellist Rebecca Wenham, the opportunity to begin your day immersed in the sounds of two dazzling musicians is just around the corner!

An innovator of performance as well as classical music, Sarah Hagen’s vision to establish a series of morning concerts (complete with delicious complimentary refreshments!) throughout The Centre’s previous presentation series has produced a range of remarkable concerts over the past two years. And naturally, the lovely and incredibly talented performer is thrilled to come back to Chilliwack for more! “I love the warmth of the audience in Chilliwack, and having a chance to share a cup of coffee before each concert” she says.

“Chilliwack is full of special people and I feel honoured to get to know the audience through music.”

This friendly and open demeanour characterizes Sarah’s performances, which only become more sensational as she reveals hidden histories about the music being conjured from her fingertips. “I think of myself as a storyteller” she goes on, “sharing the tales of the composers and musicians, and inviting people into the music through these stories.”

It isn’t just the composers that have the exciting backstories however; Sarah has quickly become one of Canada’s most acclaimed classical musicians. Being

referred to as ‘outstandingly inventive’ and in possession ‘of a level of passion that is quite extraordinary’, Sarah’s skills have taken her all over the world and earned her a number of accolades, most recently the BC Touring Council’s 2015 Touring Artist of the Year Award: “I was truly so surprised!” Sarah says of the win. “People are my inspiration and my motivation. I love the new friends I meet all over the place and carry them with me in my heart over the many kilometers I travel throughout the year.”

One such friend of Sarah’s is the equally talented Rebecca Wenham, who will be Sarah’s special guest for the first of her four appearances at The Centre throughout 2015/16.

Another vibrant emerging Canadian talent, Rebecca’s soaring cello lines have earned her praise as “a musical force of nature”, and with the bond that she and Sarah share, their duet is guaranteed to be nothing short of extraordinary. “Rebecca and I met at the Banff Centre for the Arts about 10 years ago and moved to Vancouver the very same week in June 2011” Sarah reflects. “We started playing together after that, even touring the Prairies in a tiny Honda in the middle of February, driving from Winnipeg to Flin Flon Manitoba to Estevan Saskatchewan and back to Winnipeg - an experience that I think bonded us for life! We love playing together and have a great deal of expressive freedom with each other - a real musical conversation that can only come from being excellent friends.

Rebecca is a world class musician and I am always incredibly inspired when I play with her. It’s such an honour for me!”

So to begin your day in the most inspirational of ways, make sure to join Sarah 9-15W CCC30

Walt Krahn compared the growth to the average size of an elementary school, the boost in numbers is spread across several school sites.

Watson and Vedder elementary schools had the largest growth, at 39 and 38 respectively.

Promontory also grew, by 32 students. All three schools are on the south side of Chilliwack.

While overall schools on the north side also experienced growth, the only elementary schools to show drops in enrollment were on the north side, including Little Mountain, Cheam and Robertson.

The higher numbers mean that the school district has had to add seven additional divisions at the elementary level and two full time staff at the middle secondary level.

Jessica Peters The Progress While the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maintenance depar tment works year round, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re busiest season is when students and staff are gone for the summer.

Rental aid eyed by province as housing cost relief tool Jeff Nagel Black Press Some of the money raised through a potentially higher property transfer tax on luxury

homes could be funneled into incentives to build more rental housing, Finance Minister Mike De Jong says.

De Jong said earlier this month heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consid-

ering a third increment of the property transfer tax to collect more when high-end homes change hands, and use the proceeds to help combat unaffordably high hous-

ing costs.

But he has been cautious about how to go about dispensing relief, noting that aid to entrylevel home buyers could backfire and simply push

prices even higher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If all you do is create more demand and supply remains constant youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the opposite effect of what you want â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll drive the cost up,â&#x20AC;? de Jong said Wednesday in an interview with Black Press.

He said rental construction incentives could be one piece of the puzzle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is there a way to also encourage the construction of more and new rental housing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much a part of this conversation,â&#x20AC;? de Jong said.

He made the comments after a panel discussion at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, where he asked mayors and councillors whether relief should be focused on first-time

at the lower end of the market.

Another potential lever is the exemption for first-time home buyers â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay the tax on the first $475,000.

Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association CEO Bob de Wit said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of a luxury increment on the transfer tax could disrupt the housing market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really depends on the changes they make at the higher end and how they define higher end,â&#x20AC;? said de Wit, who urged the province to proceed very carefully.

Home builders and realtors would prefer to see the province dismantle the property transfer tax altogether.

And although Premier Christy Clark earlier this year floated the idea of phasing it out over time, de Wit doubts that will happen, because the tax has grown to become a billion-dollar-a-year cash cow for the province.

home buyers, and whether it should go towards the purchase of any housing, or be targeted to increase the supply of new housing.

He said most community leaders seem to support the idea of reforming the property transfer tax in a way that helps young families get into the housing market.

De Jong reminded municipal politicians that they control zoning and therefore have the power to increase density and the number of homes available, applying downward pressure on prices.

The property transfer tax charges one per cent on the first $200,000 of the price and two per cent after that. When a $600,000 home sells, $10,000 flows to the government.

De Jong noted the $200,000 threshold where the tax rises to two per cent hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been changed in 30 years.

Increasing that would reduce the bite of the tax

Members of Chilliwack Minor Hockey’s 1993-94 midget AAA provincial champions will be inducted into the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame Nov. 14 alongside local coaching legend Jack Covey.

Hockey champs join Covey in Class of 2015

One of the finest teams in Chilliwack Minor Hockey history will join local coaching legend Jack Covey in the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame this fall.

The CSHOF announced its Class of 2015 this week.

Covey will be the first inductee in the newly-named Judy Fitzsimmons Builder category.

Involved for decades in local sport, Covey is best known for his work on the gridiron.

As a coach at Chilliwack secondary school in the 1960s, he led the Frontiersmen to three Fraser Valley championships.

Covey was also responsible for launching the athletic program at Sardis secondary school (which was a junior high when he got things rolling).

In recent years,

Covey has been the big- “His name is synonygest advocate of junior mous with sports in football in Chilliwack, Chilliwack and I think pounding the pavement Judy would be very proud to see on behalf of the him inducted BC Football in the category Conference that now bears Valley Huskers. her name.”

The team was capto start the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame,” tained by Chris Larsen.

Assistant captains says CSHOF spokesman Barry Douglas. were Jeremy Lapeyre

and Mark Knight.

The Dereks, Cranfield and England, formed an unbeatable goalie tandem.

They backstopped a roster that also included Jim McCarron, Shane Stoneson, Mike Pfeifer, Aaron Hoggan, Kyle Murphy, Chad Martz, Brandon Tournier, Jody Lapeyre, Nigel Perras, Ian Clark, Trevor Schulz, Kelly English and Dean Goodey.

They were coached

by Neil Murphy and Marny Pfeifer and managed by Don Clark.

Chilliwack went 5-0 at provincials that year, capturing the title

with a 7-1 drubbing of Cowichan.

“Many of these men still live in Chilliwack and it’s always great to hear them reminisce about that team and that championship,” Douglas said. “We hope they come together once more on induction night and have a very special reunion.”

This year’s induction night is Nov. 14.

A special reception will be held at the Chilliwack Museum for the inductees and their families. The official induction ceremony will be held during the intermission of that night’s

Chilliwack Chiefs game against Prince George.

“It was a special experience seeing the 1968 3-Field boys reunited last year and from what I’m hearing the guys from the 1993-94 team are just as excited to see each other again,” Douglas says. “We hope Chilliwackians will come to the arena and share in their experience on induction night.”

The soon-to-beexpanded CSHOF display is located on the concourse at Prospera Centre.

Chilliwack Chiefs blank Victoria to split Showcase games

The Chilliwack Chiefs picked up three of a possible four points

in BCHL Showcase action last weekend.

Chilliwack hit the ice Friday night for a tension-filled game against the perennial powerhouse Penticton Vees.

Still holding a grudge from last spring’s playoffs, the Chiefs battled the defending BCHL champs tooth-and-nail

in a fast--paced classic before falling 2-1 in overtime.

The Chiefs got their only goal from Brendan Riley, with assists to Vimal Sukumaran and Kale Kane.

The Vees got a regulation time goal from Dante Fabbro and the game winner 27

seconds into OT on a sharp-angle snipe by Dixon Bowen.

Chiefs goalie Aidan Pelino turned in a sparkling 36 save performance.

Backup Matteo Esposito was between the pipes Saturday as his team faced the Victoria Grizzlies.

The game was a scrambly mess largely devoid of scoring chances. Esposito stopped 23 shots to record his first BCHL win and shutout while Chilliwack got four goals.

Sukumaran opened the scoring on a firstperiod wraparound and finished the scor-

Rowers pull away from Crusaders

RBC Dominion Securities Inc.

THE OUTLOOK FOR TAXATION AND THE B.C. ECONOMY

Aaron Zimmer had two tries for his shorthanded rugby Crusaders Saturday as they fell 32-19 to the visiting Vancouver Rowers Rugby IV’s.

Four Crusaders missed the match because they’re in England taking in the Rugby World Cup. A reasonable excuse.

Their teammates fought hard in the first half and came to the break trailing 13-12.

Jacob Tuioti ran hard in the second half, but his crew started to run out of gas.

Excellent tackling by James Gauthier kept the game close for a while longer, but eventually Vancouver pulled away.

Alex Volsen had the other try for Chilliwack, which got strong showings from James Williams, Blain Prince and Jordan Tribe.

With two starters returning, the Crusaders are back home this weekend to host UBC. Chilliwack hosts games at the Yarrow Sports Field and encourages a loud and boisterous cheering section.

Kenneth Arnott Minion, 92, died peacefully at his home September 24th. He was born in Weyburn, SK, February 18, 1923.

He met and later married the love of his life, Fernande Marie Rachel ( née Blouin) in Melfort SK, and they had 66 wonderful years together. He moved his family to Chilliwack in 1961, and worked as a realtor until retiring in 1980. He loved to golf, where “down the Minion” meant in the middle of the fairway to his buddies. He also loved bridge, squash and badminton; he started skiing at 55, and continued them all into his 80’s. He loved to play the piano and violin, both self taught, and to sing along.

He is survived by his wife Fern, daughter Janice Bergen, son Randy (Cindy) Minion, and five grandchildren: Kelly, Sarah, and Hannah Minion, and Ryan and Sean Bergen.

He was predeceased by his parents Emma and Albert Minion, his brothers Nelson and George (Bud) and sisters Orlene and Nita.

LAUGHLIN, William Robert September 23, 2015

With a heavy heart and deep sadness the families of Bill Laughlin of Hinton, Alberta announce his passing on September 23, 2015 in Hinton, Alberta.

Left to treasure his memory and remember him always is his loving family; wife, Wendy and their children; Dylan (Zabrina) Laughlin of Chilliwack, BC, Shannon (Kasey) Longmuir of Chilliwack, BC, and Taylor Laughlin of Hinton, AB. Bill is survived by his precious grandchildren; Alicia Longmuir and Gemma Laughlin. Bill is survived by his mother, Marian Laughlin of Chilliwack , BC sisters, Sheila (Les Rever) Laughlin and Maureen (Kevin) Moore both of Chilliwack, BC as well numerous nieces, nephews and many treasured friends.

Bill was predeceased by his father, Robert.

Bill grew up in Chilliwack, BC and attended Camp River School and later Rosedale Jr. He grew up surrounded by the love of his family and all his aunts, uncles, and cousins. He loved nothing more than telling stories about all the Laughlin antics and adventures.

Bill moved to Hinton, Alberta to work at the mill in 1981, and it is also where his 3 children were born. His old school friends were very important to him and he loved coming back to Chilliwack for his visits. His many nieces and nephews loved it when Uncle Bill came to visit and loved listening to his hilarious stories. Bill had much love for his family, history, model cars, record collections and he always had an old car on the go he was fixing up. He loved nothing more than going fishing. His favorite place was Star Lake.

Bill spent so many happy times there together with family and friends.

The family wishes to express deep thanks to Dr Armstrong, Dr. Falk, Dr. Beamish and all the nursing staff of the Hinton Hospital for all the kindness and care you showed Bill.

In keeping with Bill’s wishes cremation has taken place and there will be a Celebration of Life in Chilliwack, BC later in the summer of 2016. All are encouraged to join the family as they stop and take the time to remember all that Bill was.

The family suggests, that if desired, a donation can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, Box 26331 Stn BRM B, Toronto, ON M7Y 4R1 in William Laughlin’s memory.

Katie Mothus (Penner) passed away peacefully in the presence of her family in the early evening of September 25, 2015 at the Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack, 5 days short of her 95th birthday.

Katie was born in Tatjanovka, Siberia. She endured a difficult time in her younger years but her family and her faith saw her through the hard times. She was baptized in a secret ceremony in the forest in Sloblode, White Russia. Her faith in God was a mainstay in her life and she never waivered from it, even in the most difficult of times. In the spring of 1948 she travelled with other members of her family across the Atlantic to Halifax, finally ending up in Greendale.

In 1951 she married Henry Mothus and together they had 4 children, Erwin, Werner, Ernie and Rose. Katie was a member of the Greendale M.B. Church for over 66 years.

She enjoyed helping as a volunteer and it gave her great comfort and joy to share her time and faith with others.

Gardening was such an important hobby for Katie whether it was to sustain her family or just the pleasure of the beauty of her flowers. She was an amazing cook, teaching her children traditions that are still being passed on today. Animals always had a special place in her heart and she loved them all, big or small and could often be found sneaking them a little something special.

Katie’s family was such a source of great pride and joy to her, always in her heart and prayers. She was kind to all and loved by many. She made friends where ever she went, helped whom ever needed it and never asked for anything in return.
