Strahl holds Chilliwack-Hope for Conservatives Greg Knill, Jessica Peters The Progress Mark Strahl has hung on to his seat in Ottawa. But he’ll be moving to the opposition benches following his Conservative party’s stinging defeat to the Liberal Party on Monday. In a result that stunned many, the Liberals claimed 184 ridings – more than enough to eclipse the NDP and form the next majority government. The Liberal’s march to victory started in the Atlantic provinces, where they claimed all 32 seats. It continued westward, prompting the CBC to project a Liberal government 20 minutes before the polls even closed in B.C. The early results cast a cloud over Strahl’s campaign party at the Best Western Hotel in Chilliwack. The mood lifted as numbers from the Chilliwack-Hope riding began to trickle in. But a Conservative victory wasn’t assured until almost 9 p.m. With all the polls counted, Strahl garnered with 21,315 votes (42.4 per cent). Liberal Louis De Jaeger was 4,350 votes back in second with 16,965 (33.7 per cent). The NDP’s Seonaigh MacPherson was a distant third with 9,148 votes (18.2 per cent) Voter turn out was 71.3 per cent. (The numbers are still not official.) Strahl, speaking to supporters after they had watched Prime Minister Stephen Harper concede defeat, acknowledge the struggle the party faced this time around. Continued: LIBERALS/ p5

Liberal gains reach to B.C. in majority win Tom Fletcher Black Press Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau extended his majority government even into the B.C. Interior Monday, as Liberal Stephen Fuhr knocked off Conservative incumbent Ron Cannan in Kelowna-Lake Country. Trudeau thanked supporters in his Montreal riding, and began preparations to implement his new government policies after nine and a half years of Conservative rule in Ottawa. “For three years we had a very old-fashioned strategy,” Trudeau said. “We met with and talked with as many Canadians as we could, and we listened.”
Major commitments by the Liberal campaign include legalizing recreational marijuana sales and running three years of deficits to build infrastructure across the country. Trudeau has also promised to scrap the Conservative government’s approval for the Northern Gateway pipeline and enforce a ban on oil tanker traffic on B.C.’s north coast. The Conservative Party issued a statement that Stephen Harper would resign as leader but would stay on as MP in his Calgary riding, where he won a seventh term. “While tonight’s result is not what we had hope for, the Canadian people are never wrong,” Harper told supporters, adding his con-
gratulations to Trudeau. On Vancouver Island, seventime Conservative MP John Duncan was knocked off by NDP challenger Gord Johns in Courtenay-Alberni, one of the new seats created for the 2015 election. While the Liberals picked up several Lower Mainland seats, traditional voting patterns held up in much of the province. Conservatives Cathy McLeod (Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo) and Mel Arnold (North OkanaganShuswap) won their seats. In Victoria, NDP incumbent Murray Rankin held off a challenge from the Green Party’s Jo-Ann Roberts in a seat where the Liberal candidate resigned over inappropriate comments on
social media. Green Party leader Elizabeth May was re-elected in Saanich-Gulf Islands. The NDP held the B.C. coast, with Rachel Blaney winning North Island-Powell River and veteran North Coast NDP MP Nathan Cullen re-elected in SkeenaBulkley Valley.

Liberals repaint most of Metro Vancouver red Jeff Nagel Black Press B.C.’s urban landscape in the Lower Mainland is no longer carved up almost exclusively between the federal New Democrats and Conservatives. Liberal candidates, propelled by the popularity of leader Justin Trudeau, pulled off multiple upsets in Monday’s federal election and captured 17 ridings, including the North Shore, nearly all of Surrey and parts of the Fraser Valley, up from just two seats previously. Among the defeated are National Revenue Minister Kerry
Lynne Findlay in Delta, a traditional Conservative stronghold. The new MP there is Liberal Carla Qualtrough, a human rights lawyer and paralympian. Conservative MP Nina Grewal, criticized for missing local debates, lost to former TransLink spokesman and Liberal candidate Ken Hardie in Fleetwood-Port Kells. Other Conser vative MPs defeated by Liberals include Andrew Saxton and John Weston, both on the North Shore and Wai Young in Vancouver South. Two NDP MPs fell in Surrey – Jinny Sims lost in Surrey-Newton
to former MP Sukh Dhaliwal, who recaptured the riding for the Liberals; and Jasbir Sandhu fell in Surrey Centre to Randeep Sarai. Former Surrey Mayor and star Conservative candidate Dianne Watts narrowly defeated Liberal challenger Judy Higginbotham, who entered the race mid-campaign after the original Liberal candidate resigned over pro-marijuana comments. One of the biggest surprises of the night was a very close Liberal victory by Jati Sidhu in Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon, a riding deep in the traditionally Conservative turf of the Fraser
Valley. Conservatives survived in their safest Valley seats – including Chilliwack and Abbotsford, as did New Democrats such as former MLA Jenny Kwan in Vancouver East and Peter Julian in New Westminster-Burnaby. NDP MP Kennedy Stewart barely held onto his seat in another close race in Burnaby South. The two incumbent Liberal MPs in Vancouver – Hedy Fry and Joyce Murray – were easily re-elected. Other notable Liberals that will be MPs on the government side include former West Vancouver
Mayor Pamela Goldsmith-Jones. The Conservatives are reduced to a rump of five seats in the Lower Mainland, while the NDP stand to be reduced to four seats. Province-wide, the Liberals took 17 seats and nearly 40.5 per cent of the popular vote. The NDP won 14 seats, with 33 per cent of the vote, while the Conservatives got 10 seats – down from 21 – with 23.8 per cent support. Greens got 2.4 per cent but did not gain additional seats besides that of party leader Elizabeth May. Provincial turnout was 70.3 per cent, not including voters who registered on election day.
Fruit-loving bear creates a stir Jessica Peters The Progress
A hungry young black bear became quite the star last week after repeated visits to a tall pear tree near McCammon elementary school. The visitor prompted a notice to parents to talk to their children about wildlife safety. KEN PUGH VISUAL ARTS PHOTOGRAPHY
They’re calling him the Pear Bear. A yearling bear took up daily residence in a pear tree on Oct. 8, thanks to a steady food supply. The young bear was reportedly staying in the tree by day, and climbing down to eat the fallen fruit by night. The only problem? Location. The pear tree is located next to McCammon elementary, a school that itself is partly bordered by the ecologically-thriving Hope Slough trail. Students were sent home with a notice to their parents on Oct. 9, asking them to go over safety tips on bear safety. The four S rule is: Stay calm, stand still, speak
calmly and slowly back away, the letter said. On Tuesday morning this week, reports were starting to circulate that the bear has left the tree, and the area. Conser vation officers were called initially but the bear was deemed to be living too high in the tree to be brought down safely. A trap was set, although the conservation officer told school officials the bear was not a threat. There have been several bear sightings in residential areas, with most sightings occurring in areas that buffer forested areas, including Promontory. Homeowners are reminded to keep attractants like garbage inside until as close to collection time as possible, and to properly collect and dispose of fallen fruit.
A show three decades in the making The 30th anniversary Chilliwack Quilters Guild Show Friday and Saturday Sam Bates The Progress Thirty years of stitches lead to incredible stories. It all started on a car ride home from a Fraser Valley Quilter’s Guild meeting in 1985. Jeanne Harmer carpooled with two of her students, Helena Braun and Rita Hertogg. “We were saying, ‘Too bad we don’t have a guild in Chilliwack,’” Jeanne began. She had always thought of starting one, but worried it would be too much to take on in combination with her work as a quilt teacher. They then asked each other, “Why don’t we do it together?” And that they did. It was at their first meeting less than a month later that Jeanne and Penny Siddons met for the first time. Throughout the guild’s now 30-year
history, they are the only two who have been consistent guild members from the very first day. As Jeanne and Penny spent the morning in the Sardis Library finishing each other’s sentences and recalling fond memories from their 30 years in the guild, many others were busily sewing and chatting around them in the drop-in sewing class. Janet Skulsky, co-chair of the Chillwack Quilters Guild show, was also present to make sure these two special women weren’t too humble. The first meeting in 1985 was held at the Chilliwack Art Centre. Through word-of-mouth and just a small ad in the paper, Jeanne was amazed by the turnout, of which Penny guessed there were 60 in attendance. It didn’t take long for the guild to get down to business, forming a committee and constitution. Put simply, the guild goals are to bring quilters together, to continually teach and learn through monthly workshops, and to promote enjoyment, support, and community appreciation for the craft. It’s the learning that Jeanne still val-
ues most. “I love exchanging ideas with people. There’s so much to learn and share and do.” Penny interjects that, for her, it’s the friendship. “Yes, the friendship, that’s high on my list too.” Jeanne agreed. And with a gentle nudge and a burst of laughter, the friendship between these two is clearly like none other. Like any social group, newcomers to Chilliwack can quickly find belonging with like-minded people by joining the guild, as Janet had done upon arrival from England. And your level of quilting experience doesn’t matter. “We love the beginner, we really welcome them.” Jeanne stressed. In fact, while Jeanne had been an avid quilter since 1972, Penny had never quilted before that first guild meeting. It was a mutual friend whom Penny bowled with that extended the invitation. The weekend show will feature 205 guild member quilts on display, ranging from king-size bed quilts to small table runners. Each demonstrate the diligent Continued: QUILT/ p4
The Chilliwack Quilter’s Guild celebrates its 30th anniversary Oct. 23 and 24 at the Alliance Church. This year’s show will honour Jeanne Harmer (right) and Penny Siddons, the only members who have participated consistently since the first meeting in 1985.

Local Liberals vow to fight on “As you can see by the numbers,” he said, “the winds of change were against us.” In 2011, Strahl captured 57 per cent of the vote in the old riding of Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon. The NDP’s Gwen O’Mahony was second with 26 per cent, while Liberal Diane Janzen was third with 11 per cent of the vote. Despite the loss nationally, and the apparent erosion of support locally, Strahl stood by the Conservative’s record, echoing Harper’s comments to supporters in Calgary that the Canadian economy is the strongest it has been in years. “This is a great record over the past 10 years that we can be proud of, and that we were a part of here in Chilliwack,” Strahl said. He also vowed to be part of a vigorous opposition. “We will hold this government to account,” Strahl said.
“Wake up call” Meanwhile at the Liberal headquarters downtown Chilliwack, the celebration started before the polls even closed in B.C.
Because the black out was removed this year, poll results from the East Coast and Ontario were available earlier than usual. Louis De Jaeger’s supporters erupted when they heard the Liberals had formed government. And early poll results looked promising for De Jaeger, too, leading to cheers and drumming from supporter Eddie Gardner. When Strahl was predicted this riding’s MP, the mood at headquarters became more somber. But in the end, De Jaeger roused his supporters with a speech, and a promise that he isn’t finished with politics yet. “We have a great government with a majority of power, and it’s what we wanted,” he said. “It may not have happened in this riding, but it happened in Canada.” He said the close results should be “a wake up call” to Strahl. “Start to get to work for our riding. We deserve better,” he said. He also alluded to the possibility he would enter a different political arena. “Municipal elections are coming,” he said. “Never say never. That’s on the table.”

Tough drunk driving penalties upheld in B.C. Jeff Nagel Black Press Canada’s top court has upheld B.C.’s tough system of roadside penalties for impaired drivers, including vehicle impoundments, stiff fines and immediate 90-day licence suspensions. The Supreme Court of Canada handed down twin judgments Friday that back key elements of the provincial government’s policy after it was challenged by motorists. Justices said there was “no doubt” automatic roadside prohibitions are within the province’s jurisdiction and a valid regulatory measure. They rejected the argument of opponents that the penalties effectively create an offence that requires a right to a fair trial, not an instant decision by police after a failed blood-alcohol reading on a portable device. The court found the province’s “pressing and substantial” goal of enacting the scheme “was not to oust the criminal law, but rather to prevent death and serious injury on pub-
lic roads by removing drunk drivers and deterring impaired driving.” Roadside penalties have largely supplanted criminal investigations and prosecutions for impaired driving in B.C. The amount of time and money expended on drunk driving cases in the courts and by police is down because of the nearly 70 per cent drop in impaired charges. Police still pursue criminal charges in cases of injury or death due to drunk driving. Defence lawyers have criticized the immediate roadside prohibitions as a de facto decriminalization of most cases of impaired driving. Although drivers who are caught and punished at roadside face stiff sanctions, they do not
usually risk an impaired driving conviction and criminal record. Also before the courts was the constitutionality of the compulsory demand to provide a breath sample or face roadside penalties. A majority of Supreme Court justices said the original 2010 provision did violate the Charter of Rights protection against unlawful search and seizure. The province amended its law in 2012 to allow drivers who fail a roadside breath test to take a second test – the lowest of the two readings is used – and created a process for them to appeal driving prohibitions. “Our belief is that the amendments our government made in June

2012 already address the constitutional issues noted in the court’s decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said. It’s not yet clear if drivers penalized in the first two years of the program could be compensated. Anton welcomed the ruling, adding immediate roadside prohibitions have been “very effective” and have saved an estimated 260 lives over the past five years. “People are learning from them, they’re not drinking and driving as much,” Anton said. “As soon as you blow that warn or that fail you will be penalized. And that is what deters people from drinking and driving. That’s what keeps our roads safe.” Defence lawyers intend to continue to challenge elements of the B.C. law that were not addressed by the top court. About 18,000 roadside prohibitions are issued each year and about two per cent are successfully challenged through the review process.

Musicworx bringing entertainment options home Jessica Peters THE PROGRESS The owners and staff at Musicworx are settling nicely into their new home, on Alexander Avenue downtown Chilliwack. And when customers drop in to say hello, they are finding themselves equally comfortable. That’s because this isn’t your typical audio/visual store. When owners Jim and Lynne Goodwin made the move from their long-held storefront on Young Road a few months ago, they decided to put the emphasis on ‘home.’ “Our new showroom represents a smart home,” says Lynne. “It’s a show home more than a retail showroom. We wanted to create an environment in which people felt comfortable and where they could see, hear and experience our products in a realistic setting.” They designed their new space with separate living areas, each one a showcase for different tastes and needs. So, when guests walk through the front door, they’re greeted with a water feature equipped with speakers designed like rocks. The living room is a place to sit back and relax, with the latest in television technology at your fingertips. In a second living room, designed for the pure audiophile, there are turntables and vinyl — all hooked up to the best in home entertainment. Finally, there’s the custom home theatre. This is the Goodwin’s favourite area of the store, where they feature the newest from Dolby, a 360 degree theatre system called Atmos. With the move in location, they’ve also shifted their focus in products and services, gradually moving away from being a home and mobile entertainment source, to purely a home
Musicworx owners, Jim and Lynne Goodwin.
entertainment provider. With 23 years experience, Jim is know as one of the best in the business and an “integration expert.” And their staff, Don Irving and James Rendall, are the store’s installation experts.
Together, their goal is to make customers for life by providing the best price, products and services. In keeping with the home theme, there are no glaring price tags in store. But that doesn’t mean the prices have to be sky high. Musicworx is part of a larger buying group of independent
audio video stores, meaning they are just as competitive as a big box store. “We guarantee the best price,” Jim says. Musicworx is located at 45950 Alexander Avenue, and online at www.musicworx.ca.

Election postmortem Every election has its winners and its losers. This one had it in spades. Justin Trudeau’s dramatic win Monday may have been expected by some, but few of the even most seasoned pundits expected a victory of this scale. While Chilliwack voters were still casting ballots, Trudeau and his Liberals were being crowned the next government of Canada. Coming from third, with just 35 seats, the Liberals vaulted over the ever-hopeful NDP, to oust the Conservatives and claim victory. Never has a party come from third place to form a majority. And if Trudeau was a winner Monday night, Stephen Harper was the clear loser. Going down to defeat were several high-profile Conservatives, including former cabinet ministers like Finance Minister Joe Oliver, Veterans Minister Julian Fantino, Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander. The carnage could be sensed at Mark Stahl’s victory celebration. While supporters cheered the declared election of Conservative Ed Fast in neighbouring Abbotsford,

they had to wait in Chilliwack until nearly half the polls were counted. In the end, the results weren’t that close (42 per cent Conservative, 34 per cent Liberal). However, they showed a continued erosion of support from the heady days when the elder Chuck Strahl garnered more than 62 per cent of the vote in 2008. Conservative supporters here were bruised but not beaten by the loss. Strahl commended them on their courage to stick by their principles in the face of stiffening political change. But surely more can be taken away from Monday’s rout. Harper and his campaign team misread the Canadian electorate. His bitter and patronizing campaign against Justin Trudeau only offended those who watch American attack ads with disgust. And his decision to make the niqab an election issue only ignited traditional Canadian support for multiculturalism. The Liberals have much work ahead of them as they make good on the promises they made. But Conservatives, too, need take time to assess whether their tone and tactics are what Canadians want. Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Time to get real about trade deals As the dust settles from Monday’s federal election, to paraphrase former prime minister Kim Campbell, it’s time to talk about serious issues again. The Conservatives were hoping to make 2015 a free trade election, by signing onto the world’s largest trade deal at the end of July. But things didn’t go as planned at the talks in Maui, and Canada was among the players that walked away from the Trans-Pacific Partnership table at that time. Then came five days of roundthe-clock negotiations in Atlanta, with the U.S. pushing for a deal with Japan, Korea, Australia and other Pacific Rim powerhouses to normalize trade in 40 per cent of the world’s economy. And the TPP came together at the end of September. Canada and B.C. essentially
got what our governments were demanding, which was broad access to Pacific Rim markets and continued protection for nearly all of domestic dairy, poultr y and egg markets. Also preserved was B.C.’s regulated market for logs and U.S. lumber sales. Tom The 200-kg FLETCHER gorilla of the TPP burst out in the heat of the election campaign, and the Kim Campbell rule was demonstrated again. Much of the discussion revolved around alleged secrecy, as the legal text of the deal won’t be out for some time to come. Protected farmers downed their pitchforks, counting their blessings, and their guaranteed com-
pensation. The NDP was forced to come out against the TPP, as it was against trade deals with the U.S., Mexico, Europe and others. But it’s getting lonely for them as the rest of the world moves on. Within days of the TPP deal, the World Bank issued one of its periodic reports on “extreme poverty,” which it defines as an income of less than $1.90 U.S. a day. And 2015 is the first year when fewer than 10 per cent of the world’s people remain below this global poverty line, down from 12.8 per cent in 2012. It’s easy for comfortable First World folks to protest conditions in running shoe and cell phone factories in India or China, but the graph of extreme poverty in those countries shows steep decline since 1990. Trade and technology are lifting up the

poorest of the world. For B.C., withdrawing from Pacific Rim trade is unthinkable. We worry a lot about lumber and copper and natural gas, but the TPP also opens up huge markets for services, where much of our economic future awaits. The question for us is simple. Can we compete in health sciences, engineering, architecture, digital media, and information technology? Do we want to? The TPP doesn’t change B.C.’s dependency on the United States. As with NAFTA, our vital lumber trade remains under a separate agreement, which expired on Oct. 1. I’m told by federal and provincial officials that at this stage, the U.S. isn’t even taking our calls on the softwood lumber agreement, which Canada and B.C. want extended. Americans are
preoccupied with the TPP and domestic politics. After decades of bitter legal actions from the American industry, the latest softwood deal has provided a rough peace. It set a floor price for B.C.’s allegedly subsidized lumber exports, with an export tax collected by Canada when the price went below the floor of $355 per thousand board feet. That money went back into our government general revenue. Higher prices meant no export tax was collected through 2014 and early 2015, and only five per cent as of September. Now that the agreement is expired, by default we have actual free trade in lumber for up to the next year. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

We can all do more to help Hi. My name is Cadence Hawkins. You put me in the newspaper because of the All Candidates Forum. That article made me seem to think that I didn’t like the homeless and that they were a problem. But they’re not the problem. We are. The way we deal with it is not good. Because they are still there. And we aren’t helping. We are keeping them out.
Garbage in our parks Brickbats to all the people who use our lovely park, and leave so much garbage around. There are many containers to dispose of your garbage. Shame on you! Bouquets to the city workers who clean up this stuff and keep the park looking so nice! We are so grateful to you!
Right now they are sitting out there in the rain in the cold, and we made a cage to keep them out. When you wrote that I said, “I have to walk by them on the way to the Leisure Center,” it seemed like that was a chore. It’s not a chore. It’s a walk of shame. (Btw I drive not walk) So what we need to do is let them in instead of keeping them out.
“I always wondered why somebody didn’t do something. That was when I realized that I was somebody.” I heard that quote in school and felt that that was written about me. Now I realize ever yone is somebody. I hope you enjoyed my letter and connected. Cadence Hawkins
The bright side of climate change Again your columnist (Margaret Evans) has taken up “climate change” with zealous abandon. (Heavy lifting on climate awaits next government, Progress Oct. 16). I have yet to see any positives mentioned by these doom and gloom theorists should any of this new found religion come to pass. Yet there are many, especially for a northern country such as Canada. More land will become available for raising food. Carbon, by the way, is plant food, not pollution as is often stated. As a result of this increase in carbon, satellite evidence indicates that the earth has never been greener. Crop yields are up world wide resulting in a huge decrease in chronic hunger for developing countries from 24 per cent to around 14 per cent. Joe Vandenberg Chilliwack

Murray McLauchlan returns to the spotlight Sam Bates The Progress
After taking a break from performing his solo work, Murray McLauchlan returns to the stage at the Cultural Centre on Oct. 24.
As one of Canada’s most highly regarded singer-songwriters, Murray McLauchlan is making a return to touring. McLauchlan performs at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Saturday Oct. 24. After deciding at an early age to pursue music full-time, McLauchlan produced his first album Songs from the Street in 1971. He steadily earned his way into smaller venues and clubs, eventually gaining audiences at major theatres and festivals in North America’s largest cities. Now with 18 albums and 11 Juno awards under his belt, McLauchlan’s had a great deal of success throughout his 40-year career. His most famous hits like Farmer’s Song, Down by the Henry Moore, and Whispering Rain are iconic to the Canadian folk scene. His latest solo album Human Writes was released in 2011. Though it received considerable airplay across the pond in the U.K. and Europe, he didn’t tour it much. “Frankly, I was worn out,” he said over the phone from Ontario. “I loved playing, writing and making music,” McLauchlan
said. But a hectic solo touring schedule wasn’t bringing the joy that it once did. For the past several years he’s restricted his touring to shows with Lunch at Allen’s, a group that he co-founded in 2004, by way of a particularly unusual circumstance. “A group of well-meaning doctors tried to kill me,” he joked. A routine diagnostic test resulted in a tear to his coronary artery, which then required complicated emergency surgery. During his recovery, Marc Jordan and Ian Thomas came to sing him Christmas carols in the hospital. Once recovered, McLauchlan took them out for lunch at Allen’s Restaurant in Toronto to thank them. Lunch lasted well through dinner as the group decided, “we ought to do something together,” McLauchlan recalled. With that, Lunch at Allan’s was formed. Over a decade of jamming and performing with Jordan, Thomas and Cindy Church as Lunch at Allen’s, McLauchlan thoroughly enjoyed himself. Tour production company Shantero Productions had promoted shows for Lunch At Allen’s, and McLauchlan decided to work with them once again to tour his solo music. McLauchlan is joined on tour
with Victor Bateman. “He’s very skilled at playing bass with a bow,” McLauchlan enthused, which will provide a beautiful orchestral spread to underlie his songs on stage. As for the music you can expect to hear, McLauchlan will perform a blend of his fan favourite radio hits, and his latest work from Human Writes. Call it ‘An Evening With Murray McLauchlan...,’ if you will. “It will have a cabaret element to it. Not loquacious, but I’ll talk a bit about the process that goes into making a particular song.” He bore comparison to a memory of attending a Bob Dylan concert long ago at Massey Hall. “The only thing he said all night was ‘here’s something new I’ve been working on.’ He didn’t even say ‘hello.’” McLauchlan’s current tour is reinforced by his passion for visual arts as well. While music is a more overtly communicative art, paintings tell stories in their own way McLauchlan has rekindled his life-long affinity for painting, his work recently appearing in galleries like the Muskoka Place Gallery in August. “I paint because it’s an existential experience. You have to be in the moment,” he said. “It Continued: FOLK/ p14
Magic begins with Shawn Farquhar’s Cabaret of Wonders Shawn Farquhar’s reputation as one of the world’s leading magicians has led him on a global journey of wonder – from his home in Maple Ridge to his current month long tour of exotic Malaysia, sailing the seas performing on the world’s best luxury cruise liners. And now the only magician in history to have won first place for both Stage and Sleight of Hand at the World Championship of Magic is making The Chilliwack Cultural Centre home for his upcoming series of fantastic shows:
Shawn Farquhar’s Cabaret of Wonders! Beginning on Oct. 30, The Cabaret of Wonders will feature four shows throughout The Centre’s 2015/16 presentation season, bringing those for which magic provides their passion, profession, and personality together in celebration and demonstration of this fascinating and entertaining art form. An unparalleled display of magic performance and entertainment, The Cabaret of Wonders will not only feature Shawn Farquhar’s skills in the intimate setting of The
Centre’s Rotary Hall Studio Theatre, but will provide a platform for emerging and aspiring magicians to hone their skills in front of a live audience. Not only will the cabaret format provide an upclose-and-personal show, with performer and audience being separated only by the wonder being conjured in the room, but also an informal atmosphere that invites you to grab a drink, sit back, and enjoy the unmatched experience of watching magic unfold right before your eyes. The perfect night to experi-
ence the wonder of magic, The Cabaret of Wonders is not only the ultimate way to explore the uniquely mysterious world of magic, according to Farquhar, it’s a space in which the next generation of performers may begin their own magical path. “In the past few years I have seen a number of venues popping up in place like Edinburgh, New York and Chicago that offer a place for professional magicians to work as a team,” says Farquhar. “But I wanted The Cabaret of Wonders to be more – a place Continued: MAGIC/ p23

Modernizing the typical BC Box home By Nicolle Hodges
From complete renovations to a single room redesign, the first step to achieving the home of your dreams is by working with a trusted renovator. For Ralph Belisle, president of TQ Construction, the project entrusted to him was to transform a typical BC box home into a more modernized style better suited for the 21st century. The homeowners had realized their humble home was dated, considering it had gone untouched since it was built in the sixties. The state of the home before the renovations was like taking a trip back in time. “The floor plan was adequate for [the sixties], but it lacked clear sightlines at both the interior and the exterior, which current lifestyles demand,” explains Belisle. The home was situated to the rear of a very large lot and the homeowners loved to experiment with different foliage in the huge garden area. “We wanted to extend the house in such a way that the interior’s views of the front garden improved and the
interior space became more cohesive among its rooms.” So, the process of transformation began for TQ Construction – a company recognized for its tradition of excellence in BC’s home improvement, renovation and construction industry. Before: They widened the existing “too-tight” garage to include a garage hobby space, which enabled the creation of big living room/family room above. Belisle says the owners particularly loved the vaulted ceilings and the great garden views through the new arch-top windows. Even with a few pricier touches, the renovations stayed within budget. “I look upon the project as one of our successes, which let the inside details was so positive in fact, that be inside and the outside be inde- Belisle says they have since become pendent, even while improving the friends. access and enjoyment between the “The homeowners thought of hirtwo,” Belisle says. “The owner/con- ing us after seeing the way our neightractor team let the house and garden bourhood projects were organised,” interact beautifully, which can easily he says. “During that time we were be seen as one walks up the path to- among the first of local renovators to ward the front door.” adopt job-site recycling, which creThe homeowners’ reaction to these ates a very organised job site.” Now,
the homeowners have agreed to enlist TQ Construction for any projects going forward. With confidence comes peace of mind in the business of building. For TQ Construction, transforming a basic home into a beautiful abode was something they were sure to accomplish. TQ (Top Quality) Construction is
an award-winning home renovation company that includes a complete renovation team of interior designers, carpenters, project managers and office staff. They strive for not only superior value in their results, but incorporate innovative sustainable solutions for the home. To learn more about TQ Construction, visit tqconstruction.ca

· Closet conversion: Ample closet space is a big plus for home buyers, but upon moving into a new home, many homeowners may find they don’t need as much closet space as they initially thought. Guest room walk-in closets, in particular, may prove to be under-utilized resources. Such closets often come with built-in shelving, and therefore, they make ideal spaces to convert to mini home offices or study areas for kids. Installing an extra shelf to serve as a desk area for remote working or homework stations won’t take up much of a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and before you know it, you will have a fully functioning workspace. · Accent wall: Accent walls can liven up a room by breaking the colour pattern of the walls in the room. Accent walls also can be used to divert attention on a particular design element in a room, such as a painting or an elaborate wall furnishing. Painting an accent
wall won’t take very long, but such a project can give a room an entirely new look and feel. · Storage and shelving: Much like some homes come with an abundance of storage areas, others fall short of homeowners’ or apartment dwellers’ needs. If your home or apartment falls into the latter category, adding some shelving or finding some new furniture that can serve double duty as storage areas is a weekend project that can help clear up some space. Purchase some wood shelving to mimic the look of traditional built-ins or replace existing single-use furniture with newer items capable of serving multiple functions, including storage. · Art: If the rooms and hallways in your home are bare or in need of new looks but your budget is tight, try your hand at spicing things up by creating some of your own paintings. Parents can encourage kids to create their own colourful masterpieces. Frame the finished works and hang them on the wall and enjoy your inexpensive and homemade “art gallery.”

How to invite more natural Book now for 5% OFF 2016 light into your home lawn care packages. A dark home can be dreary and drain residents’ energy levels rather quickly. Natural light has the power to make a person feel more energized, and it also can buoy spirits. As a result, many homeowners want to increase the amount of natural light in their homes. Increasing natural sunlight in a home reduces reliance on interior lighting. This reduces energy bills and lowers the home’s carbon footprint. Natural light also can help people in a home feel happier and more content. *Keep the drapes open. Opening blinds and curtains as far as they will go allows as much light to shine in without having to do major home renovations or spend any money at all. Homeowners concerned about privacy can install a window film that allows viewing from the inside only. *Clean the windows. Dirty windows obstruct sunlight from entering the home. They also can make a home appear unkempt. Spend a free day cleaning the windows so that they’ll let ample light in. *Install seamless or low-profile windows and doors. Seamless sliding doors enable a large amount
of light to enter the home. Such doors can replace an entire wall to brighten up a dark area of a home. The more windows and doors a home has, the brighter it will be. *Take inventory of dark spots. A room may be dark because it simply does not have a layout conducive to brightness. Is a wall blocking light from reaching a portion of the room? Think about changing the room’s layout or even making structural changes to improve light distribution. The addition of a small window on a south- or west-facing wall can greatly improve natural light. Using mirrors can also reflect light where it is needed. *Invest in skylights or solar tubes. Both skylights or solar tubes enable light to enter a home from above. Skylights are larger and require considerably more work to install, while solar tubes are more lowprofile and can be put into rooms that do not abut the roofline, such as those obstructed by attic space. The tubular cylinders are installed between the roof and the ceiling and carry light through a reflective tube to the room below. Diffusers on tubular daylighting devices scatter the rays so the light doesn’t cast harsh shadows, and UV filters can help protect furniture from discolouring. *Trim shrubs and trees. If trees and bushes are blocking light from entering your home, trim them to enable dappled light to come through. Deciduous trees that will naturally lose their leaves come autumn can be planted on sunny areas of the property. This way in the summer months they will shade the house and keep it cooler, while in winter more sun will stream in when the leaves are shed. * Create a three-season room. Make a spot in the home where sun will be at a premium. A solarium or greenhouse attached to the home can be a warm and sunny spot. Increasing natural light in a home can improve feelings of well-being and also reduce energy consumption during daylight hours.

Home improvement projects perfect for fall Fall is an ideal time of year to tackle home painting projects.
Fixing the floors
Home improvement projects can add value to a home and do-it-yourselfers know the sweat-equity that goes into such projects can give homeowners a greater sense of pride in their homes. But no two home improvement projects are the same, and homeowners should know that certain projects are best tackled during certain times of the year. Fall is a great season to work on your house, as the weather is often at its most agreeable once the summer heat has gone and before winter weather arrives. The following are a handful of fall-friendly home improvement projects for homeowners looking to improve their homes.
Wood flooring is a hot commodity for many homeowners. But not all flooring can be added to a home at any time of year. That’s because certain types of flooring employ adhesives that need temperatures inside the home to be within a certain range, and that range is often within 20o to 27o C, which makes fall a great time to install such floors. Colder temperatures can make it difficult for the flooring to dry and bond, which will prove problematic down the road. What’s more, many people entertain friends and family come late fall and into the holiday season, and it can be difficult to do so if you are busy installing new flooring.
Roof repair
604-798-0466 / budgetblinds.com
Whether you’re repairing or replacing the roof, fall is a great time of year to dust off the ladder and get some work done on your roof for a variety of reasons. Fixing up the roof in the fall ensures those winter storms, be it rain or snow, won’t find their way into your home via leaks. A leaky roof in winter is hard to fix, as the roof surface could be treacherous in the winter and winter winds can make it dangerous to be up on the roof at all. Addressing leaks in the fall can prevent damage to your home’s interior, which can mount up if a leaky roof is not addressed until the following spring.

When the weather outside gets frightful, poorly insulated windows can allow cold air into the home. That often has a trickle-down effect on finances, forcing you to turn up the thermostat in an attempt to offset the cold air pouring into the home. Whether you need your windows replaced or simply need to patch up any leaks, a proactive approach to leaky
or older windows in the fall can save you from unnecessarily high heating bills come the winter. Addressing leaky windows also makes a home more comfortable for its inhabitants.
Painting projects Painting is another home improvement project that seems tailor-made for fall. A fresh coat of paint or a new colour scheme around the house can give a home an entirely new look and feel. But paint can be pungent and the aromas may last if it’s applied at a time of year when it can’t dry while the windows are wide open. Paint fumes inside a home can make the home uninhabitable, but painting at a time of year like the fall, when you can keep the windows open during and after the project, can help air the home out. But interior painting isn’t the only painting project homeowners can tackle in the fall. Many exterior paints are temperature-sensitive and need the temperature outside to be above 5o C. Paint that freezes won’t dry properly, and homeowners might be left with a costly and unsightly mistake on their hands. Fall temperatures tend to be amenable to both interior and exterior painting projects, just be sure to check the weather forecast before making your first brush stroke.

Common mistakes made on home renovation projects Homeowners plan scores of renovations to transform living spaces into rooms that reflect their personal tastes and comforts. Homeowners going it alone may find things do not always go as planned. In fact, a study found that 85 percent of homeowners say remodelling is a more stressful undertaking than buying a home. But homeowners about to embark on home improvement projects can make the process go more smoothly by avoiding these common pitfalls.
Failing to understand the scope of the project Some homeowners don’t realize just how big a commitment they have made until they get their hands dirty. But understanding the scope of the project, including how much demolition and reconstruction is involved and how much time a project will take can help homeowners avoid some of the stress that comes with renovation projects. For example, a bathroom renovation may require the removal of drywall, reinforcement of flooring to accommodate a new bathtub or shower enclosure and the installation of new plumbing and wiring behind walls. So such a renovation is far more detailed than simply replacing faucets.
Not establishing a budget Homeowners must develop a project budget to ensure their projects do not drain their finances. If your budget is so inflexible that you can’t afford the materials you prefer, you may want to postpone the project and save more money so you can eventually afford to do it right. Without a budget in place, it is easy to overspend, and that can put you in financial peril down the line. Worrying about coming up with money to pay for
materials and labour also can induce stress. Avoid the anxiety by setting a firm budget.
Making trendy or personalized improvements Homeowners who plan to stay in their homes for the long run have more free reign when it comes to renovating their homes. Such homeowners can create a billiards room or paint a room hot pink if they so prefer. However, if the goal is to make improvements in order to sell a property, overly personal touches may make a property less appealing to prospective buyers. Trends come and go, and improvements can be expensive. If your ultimate goal is to sell your home, opt for renovations that will look beautiful through the ages and avoid bold choices that may only appeal to a select few buyers.

Forgetting to properly vet all workers It is important to vet your contractor, but don’t forget to vet potential subcontractors as well. Failing to do so can prove a costly mistake. Contractors often look to subcontractors to perform certain parts of a job, and it is the responsibility of homeowners to vet these workers.

Expecting everything to go as planned Optimism is great, but you also should be a realist. Knowing what potentially could go wrong puts you in a better position to handle any problems should they arise. The project might go off without a hitch, but plan for a few hiccups along the way.

According to reports, a major kitchen remodeling project should enable homeowners to recoup 74.2 percent of their initial investments. Kitchen renovations have long been a safe way to improve the functionality and value of a home. But not every kitchen project is a guaranteed winner. Homeowners may inadvertently make changes that end up sticking out like a sore thumb rather than improving the space. Take a look at these kitchen remodeling do’s and don’ts to guide your next undertaking. DO consider the way your kitchen will look with the rest of the home. Keep architectural integrity in mind when designing the space. A farmhouse sink and country cabinets can look out of place in an ultra-modern home. DON’T overlook the importance of a seasoned designer or architect. These pros will know the tricks to maximizing space and achieving the ideal layout of appliances and may be able to recommend local contractors and vendors. DO look beyond surface details to the structural integrity of the design. The kitchen should be functional, longlasting and beautiful. DON’T design just for today, but look to the future as well. Unless you are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars every five years, look for
styles and materials that will last for the long haul. Older homeowners may want to make adjustments now that address potential mobility issues down the road. DO work with what you have. A complete demolition and renovation is not always necessary to achieve the desired results. Only invest in major changes if something is not working (such as having to walk across the entire kitchen to access the stove) or is unsafe. Otherwise, minor upgrades may do the trick. DON’T over-improve the space. A fully equipped commercial kitchen may be handy for a professional chef, but the average person may not need an industrial hood and indoor pizza oven. When you make excessive improvements, you may not be able to recoup as much of the money spent because your home will not be on par with the values of homes in the neighbourhood. DO make sure you can afford the project. Plan for some unexpected purchases and plan out the renovation according to your budget. Skimping on materials or design because of lack of money may leave you feeling dissatisfied afterward.

Make home projects a family affair When asked to pitch in on home projects, young kids may feel proud they can lend a hand with such a “grown-up” task. With the right instruction, children of all ages can get involved with fix-up projects and learn new skills in the process.
dren along to the home improvement store so you can purchase supplies together. Let youngsters help you as you choose materials for the project. This way they can see how the raw materials will turn into the finished renovation.
Emphasize safety. Children should understand that tools serve a distinct purpose and that they are not toys. Identify and explain the dangerous pieces of equipment and instruct children that they should not touch or turn on tools without an adult nearby. Go over the proper ways to handle the tools and explain the purposes of each device. Make sure everyone is wearing safety equipment, including eye protection, gloves and ear protection, while handing the tools.
Demonstrate and then let kids try. Children will not have the skills to perform
more intricate tasks, but older kids can hammer some nails, mix paint or even cut wood with supervision. Assign tasks based on the child’s age. For example, a preteen may be able to saw wood, while a kindergartener can hand over nails and tools. Illustrate the correct way to get things done and then have children mirror your actions.
Attempt an easy project first. Painting a room, building a planter box, or another less complicated project can help parents gauge their kids’ abilities. Involving children in home improvement projects can teach then new skills, give them a greater appreciation of the work that goes into maintaining a house, instill a sense of pride in youngsters, and provide a great chance for kids and their parents to spend quality together.
Tackling home improvement projects with kids in tow can be challenging. But if kids are old enough, moms and dads can enlist their youngsters’ help when working on projects around the house. Not only can adults keep closer tabs on kids’ activities, but involving kids in home projects also lets parents instill important and practical lessons at the same time.
Include children from the start. When beginning a project, parents can make their kids a part of the design and planning process, welcoming the input of younger members of the family, especially if renovations will impact spaces they use directly. Draft a list of supplies and ask questions of the kids regarding what supplies they think will have to go into completing the project.
Shop as a family. Although it may slow you down, take chil-
Converting garages into liveable spaces Many people decide to upgrade from their apartments or condominiums out of a need for more space. But even after moving into a new home, homeowners may soon begin to outgrow the room they have. Rather than looking for a new home, some homeowners consider expansion. Garages already are built on a foundation, have four walls and a roof overhead, so a garage-conversion project is merely a matter of turning this utilitarian area into a living space. Always apply for the proper permits and learn the zoning laws to see if a garage conversion is acceptable in your community. Go by the book so that work can be done in a proper manner and be inspected for safety. One of the biggest transformations will come by way of modifying the garage door entry. Some homeowners prefer to leave the existing door so that the home still has the appearance of a garage from the curb, while others remove the garage door and rebuild the exterior wall so that it has a window or another architectural element. An architect can help suggest design elements that will camouflage the original garage look and make the space seem like it was always part of the main living area of the home. Landscaping work also can minimize the appearance of an old garage. Rather than having the driveway end at the wall of a home, shrubbery, pavers and other techniques can blend the garage renovation into the rest of the yard design. Transforming a garage into a living space can add several hundred square feet to a home. Hire a reputable contractor and follow the municipal guidelines for modifying the space to ensure the job is done right.

Heritage Chilliwack Society’s first Heritage Tour on Saturday was a huge hit. Balmy fall weather combined with the opportunity to get inside six of Chilliwack’s most historic buildings drew a crowd to the grounds of St. Thomas Anglican Church. Several dozen people lined up in the hopes of securing a tour ticket – some travelling from Vancouver and Surrey. Ticketholders were able to wander through Chilliwack’s Mountain View neighborhood and explore the inside of heritage buildings, including the Imperial Theatre Building’s residential loft (c.1913), the location where Chilliwack suffragettes met in 1915, and Stonehurst, the opulent mansion built by Chilliwack entrepreneur Chauncey Eckert and now a municipally designated heritage site. Run entirely by volunteers, the event relied on the dedication of a core of volunteers to ensure the success of the tour. Heritage Chilliwack had up to four volunteers stationed at each site along with the homeowners who were there to answer questions from heritage enthusiasts. “We were overwhelmed with the response Heritage Chilliwack’s Tour & Tapas received from Chilliwack residents and were saddened to turn away people on Saturday,” said Laura Reid, a director with Heritage Chilliwack Society. “However, we capped the ticket sales at 100 as to not overwhelm the heritage property owners on our first tour. “Due to the success of the event and positive feedback from tour participants and homeowners, we will definitely plan another one next year,” she added. Partial proceeds from the tour go towards the establishment of a Heritage Designation Fund to assist heritage homeowners with the cost of volunteer heritage designation in Chilliwack.

where not only established magicians from around the globe could come to play, but where less experienced magicians could have an opportunity to perform alongside the best and learn from them too.” And the magical students in question could not ask for a better mentor in magic than the illustrious Shawn Farquhar. Raised in Maple Ridge, Shawn has honed his craft to become one of the most renowned magicians in the world (and the very first magician to ‘fool’ Penn & Teller on their hit show ‘Fool Us’, and subsequently be invited to open for their worldfamous Vegas show), gathering dozens of accolades along the way. “My career to date has been pretty fantastic,” Farquhar reflects. “I really have accomplished ever ything I set out to do when I decided to leave the comfort of a “real job” and perform magic for a living, including some things I never imagined. Travelling to Beijing to represent Canada in
the World Olympics of Magic could be a highlight of my career… especially considering that I didn’t just win the World Championship of Magic, I went on to win the Grand Prix of sleight of hand, which is when the champions of each division challenge each other to find the best of the best. That was a pretty huge honour.” The first Canadian in history to win the Grand Prix and one of only five North American winners ever, Shawn’s magical resumé is literally one of the very best in the world – and after demonstrating this prowess to audiences from Vegas to London and Beijing and beyond, he’ll be bringing his abilities to Chilliwack. “I’ve spent a lot of time travelling the world, and with The Cabaret of Wonders I am looking forward to Canadian audiences coming out and discovering that magic is not just for kids, but is an awesome way to spend an evening with friends,” Farquhar says. “I sure am excited to share my craft and
introduce a few international stars of magic and few new faces throughout the series too. It’s ultimately my goal to educate and entertain audiences so they know what the rest of world already knows magic is an art that transcends language, cultures and boundaries and has the ability to bring wonder into their lives.” Join Shawn Farquhar and his magical entourage for its first show on Friday, Oct. 30. Tickets for the full series are now available both online and from The Centre Box Office, so either visit www. chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or call 604-391SHOW(7469). Complete dates for Shawn Farquhar’s Cabaret of Wonders are as follows. Each event will feature different guest performers.

REALTORS® at times, have received listings from individuals who originally thought they had sold their home themselves. Sellers who try to sell their own home learn the hard way that it is not easy, and keeping it sold and getting to the closing table is even more difficult. There are many pitfalls involved in selling your own home. First, face-to-face negotiations are difficult, even when the buyer really wants the house. Then there is the paperwork. For sale by owner contracts rarely cover all of the legal requirements regarding disclosure laws, creating loopholes which could allow a buyer with cold feet to back out at the last minute. When you have finally come to an agreement, how can you be sure that your buyers will find competent professionals to handle their loan and complete the closing? What if structural problems are discovered or property boundary problems are revealed? It takes a lot more than a “For Sale” sign in the front yard and advertising to get a listing sold. When REALTORS® sell a house, sometimes they have to “sell” it again and again before the contract is actually signed by the buyers and sellers. Many things have to occur before the closing. The house must be “sold” to the buyers’ relatives, the home inspector, the appraiser, and other experts. The buyers must secure a mortgage. Sometime during the process, the buyers may
Searching for a new home or selling your current home can be a complicated and exhausting experience.

go through a serious case of “buyers’ remorse” and consider backing out of the transaction. Since the transaction could potentially fall through at any step in the process, you will find the services of a professional REALTOR® invaluable. They continue to present the house in the best light possible and use professional skills to solve any problems that may arise. No matter what phase the market is in, it is always important to price your home competitively. The first step is to call a REALTOR® and ask for a market analysis. Your REALTOR® will look at recent sales of comparable homes in your area and give you information about other properties that are currently on the market. By comparing the size, location and condition of your home with the competition, your REALTOR® will help you determine what to ask for your home. The price is based on market conditions, comparable sales, and years of experience in the marketplace. Even in an active market, an inflated price may frighten prospective buyers away. A house that is over-priced can take additional weeks and weeks, and probably months to sell, and the final sale price may even be lower than if the sellers had started out more realistically. Many changes can occur in a real estate transaction between the initial meeting of the minds and the completion of the sale. This is where having a real estate professional to handle the sale makes a big difference.

The day will kick off with a pancake breakfast at the Rosedale Firehall. That runs from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., and is by donation to the BC Professonal Fire Fighters Association Burn Fund.

Join A Truly Canadian Celebration with Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys! For an entertaining and truly authentic East Coast experience (as well as a stage show like nothing you’ve ever seen!), make The Centre your first port of call when the Maritime charm of Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys appears in Chilliwack on November 4, 2015! With their electrifying fusion of Canadian folk, Celtic sounds and Bluegrass swing, and thrillingly energetic stage presence, the Prince Edward Island lads will put on a show you’ll never forget – make sure to join the celebration and buy a ticket today! Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys’ sound is one that bridges the thousands of miles from east coast to west, incorporating all the elements of Canadian music into one rollicking and rousing expression of rustic folk charm, jump-up-and-dance swing energy and an unbridled passion for flying fiddle-lines! “The type of music we love to play is naturally energetic, which excites us as musicians as well as listeners“, Gordie says. “We very much get energy from the crowd and whether we each know it or not, this is the music we’ve grown up with. They are the song we’ve all heard around a campfire or at a kitchen party, a ceilidh, or on your grandparent’s radio. Even though you may not recognize the song or the style of song I think that this type of music is familiar, deep down, to all Canadians.” It’s a sound that simultaneously captures the nostalgia and simplicity of the old days, an atmosphere of celebration and joviality, and the essence of good times with great friends. It’s a sound that possesses energy and appeal that resounds across generations, musical interests, as Gordie reveals – any other kind of boundary it comes across! “We have 10-15W CCC21
travelled all over the world” he goes on, “and our music is not necessarily mainstream anywhere we go. However, the feeling of this kind of music crosses all cultures. We most recently returned from a wonderful trip to India. We were a little bit nervous about the response we might get because of our music seeming obscure in this part of the world, but it was incredible to see the enthusiasm and appreciation of the music.” And it’s impossible to talk about Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys without a mention of the band’s astonishing stage presence – complete with jigging, jiving, and double bass diving, these boys are a bunch of extraordinary entertainers as much as they are masterful musicians! You’ll be captivated as Gordie’s fingers fly along his fiddle while he simultaneously offers some of the fanciest footwork you’ve ever seen, and be amazed at the virtuosity of his Rhythm Boys as they alternate between instruments –providing a rock solid rhythmic foundation from which incredible songs take form.
You’ll hear upbeat bluegrass beats, fun and energetic country jams, evocative odes to the East Coast and raucous rockabilly anthems – it’s all fair game for the folk-flavoured fun of Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys!

Emil Anderson has also hopped on board and will have a snow plow on site for kids to sit on, while Trask’s Supply has donated some wood for kids to paint. That wood will help create fencing between The Hillbilly Homespun store and the gas station. “We are going to hang that on the fence beside the store, and that way the kids are able to showcase their art,” Kloot said. They’ve planned a vendor lane that will include products and artisans from Rosedale and the greater Chilliwack area, and no country celebration would be complete without hay rides. There will even be an area set up for families to roast marshmallows, and sit on hay bales, or enjoy a hot chocolate or coffee courtesy of the local church.

Community Operation Red Nose looks for volunteers now at the Chilliwack RCMP detachment on Airport Road. This will be the 12th year that the service has been available in Chilliwack, again coordinated by the Kiwanis Club of Sardis, and provides approximately 600 rides
annually in the Chilliwack area. All proceeds from this all-volunteer service remain in Chilliwack helping youth programs, as well as the new Pediatric Observation Unit at Chilliwack General Hospital.
throwback to the way it used to be in Rosedale, when there were the Country Living Days. Kloot is hoping to rekindle the warm community spirit Rosedale is known for, and knows that an event like this will be a hit with his neighbours. “We are basically building community,” he said, adding that he’s challenging other communities like Promontory or Garrison’s Crossing to create their own events to celebrate their area. “To meet their neighbours and get out into their own little community,” he said.

Provincial powerhouse hammers Hurricanes
The GW Graham Grizzlies got back to the way they’re supposed to play Friday night, blowing out the Rick Hansen Hurricanes 42-0 in their home opener. After looking sluggish in a 21-14 week one win over Robert Bateman, the Grizz recaptured their provincial powerhouse form on both sides of the ball. Offensively, GWG bludgeoned the Hurricanes with the run game and dismantled their overwhelmed opponents with a lethal air attack. Defensively, the Grizzlies had Rick Hansen moving backwards for most of the game. The Hurricanes didn’t come within 45 yards of the GWG end zone in the face of a dominant defensive front and stifling sec-
ondary. The Grizzlies took just two plays to get on the board in this one. Quar terback Gabe Olivares found Baker Douglas flying down the left sideline, hit him in stride and watched him scamper 55 yards into the endzone. Olivares was intercepted on the second GWG series, but came back on the third, leading a four play drive that ended with an 11 yard touchdown pass to Ethan Mastin. Emerson Smith reeled in Olivares’ third TD toss on the first play of the second quarter, giving his crew a 21-0 lead. And they just kept coming. A Cainen Bergh fumble recovery set up the offence at the Rick Hansen 52, and two plays later they were back in the endzone, with Von Richardson ripping off a 15 yard touchdown run. The Grizzlies added one more major just before halftime. Olivares sucked in the Hurricane D on play action, faking a handoff and arcing a pass into the arms of Douglas, who rambled 52 yards for the score.
GWG could have had even more if not for a holding penalty that wiped out a 70 yard Emerson Smith punt return major. Penalties were the one wart on an otherwise flawless performance. “We stressed discipline all week, and while it was better than Bateman it was still not good enough,” said head coach Laurie Smith. “We cannot afford to take lack-ofdiscipline penalties in tight games and the next three will all be very competitive.” Because Smith’s team led by so many points at the break, the game clock was set to running time for the second half. Keeping their foot on the gas, the Grizzlies started with a cheeky onside kick that gave them the ball at the Hurricane 40. Tristan Davis cut through the Rick Hansen defence on two runs, the second a 10 yarder right up the gut for the final GWG touchdown. “Overall we were impressed with the intensity of the boys and thought the execution was generally

good,” Smith noted. “The Eastern conference is very good with four teams in the top 10
(Graham 1, Abbotsford 2, Mission 5, Bateman 6) so we expect to battle these next three weeks
against conference opponents. GWG (2-0) is back home Friday night, host-
ing the Pitt Meadows Marauders (1-1) at Exhibition Stadium. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.
Lansdell lights lamp in Alberni Valley win Pelino on the shelf The Chilliwack Chiefs split a pair of Vancouver Island road games last weekend. Jesse Lansdell had two goals for the BCHL squad Saturday night as they doubled up the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 4-2. Lansdell started the scoring just 59 seconds in with a power play marker, and finished
Fatal Distraction
the scoring with a last minute empty netter. Vimal Sukumaran and Connor McCarthy also scored for the Chiefs. Sukumaran’s was his team-leading 11th in 14 games. McCarthy’s was his first. Aidan Pelino went the distance in net, stopping 31 of 33 shots. The Sheldon
Rempal show derailed the Chiefs Sunday afternoon in Nanaimo. Rempal had three goals, leading his Clippers to a 4-2 win. The Chiefs out-shot Nanaimo 31-21, but could only slip two pucks past Clipper keeper Jonathan Reinhart. Jordan Kawaguchi’s fifth of the year came
with his team trailing 3-0 in the second period. Kohen Olischefski scored in the third period, netting his fourth goal in his last five games. Pelino started in net, but was lifted 6:32 into period three. Backup Matteo Esposito finished up. Chilliwack comes
out the weekend at 6-5-1-2, third in the Mainland division behind Langley (8-4-00) and the Wenatchee Wild (8-3-1-1). The Chiefs get their first regular season look at the Wild tonight (Wednesday), hosting them in a midweek game at Prospera Centre. Puck drop is 7 p.m.
The Chiefs expect to be missing starting netminder Aidan Pelino for two weeks. The second year stopper had to come out of Sunday’s road game in Nanaimo early, and Chilliwack bench boss Jason Tatarnic said he’s dealing with a lower body injury. Matteo Esposito will be the main man in net in the meantime. The rookie from Connecticut has looked capable in limited action. In five appearances the 18 year old’s posted a 3.15 goals against average and .895 save percentage.

Sports Chilliwackians lead UFV past Mariners The University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team beat the Vancouver Island University Mariners 79-62 in exhibition action on Saturday evening at the Envision Athletic Centre. Third-year guard Kaitlyn McDonald, a Chilliwack native and GW Graham grad, was among the standouts for the Cascades. McDonald was on fire from beyond the arc, going 6-for-7 from downtown en route to a team-high 18 points. The hosts out-rebounded the Mariners, a PacWest conference program, by a 51-26 margin. “We know Kaitlyn can be a
great shooter, and that’s what we’re expecting from her this year – to knock down some shots,” said UFV bench boss Al Tuchscherer. “I’m sure she’s not going to go 6-for-7 every night, but we’re looking for her to knock down shots. If nobody’s defending her, she’s got to hit. That was good see.” Another Chilliwackian, Shayna Cameron, notched 16 points for UFV. A third Chilliwackian, Kayli Sartori, added 14. Lanae Adams scored a gamehigh 22 points for VIU. The Cascades sealed the win with strong defence in the fourth quarter, out-scoring the
Mariners 17-7 in the frame. Tuchscherer wasn’t thrilled with his team’s defence prior to that point, though. “For most of the game, we were kind of lost defensively,” he analyzed. “It was nice to finish strong, but the first three quarters – especially the third quarter defensively – we were not where we needed to be. I give full credit to VIU. They came out and played a great game tonight.” The Cascades host a pair of exhibition games next weekend. The play the PacWest’s Capilano Blues at 6 p.m. on Friday, and the Western Mustangs – a fellow CIS program from London, ON – at 6 p.m. on Saturday.

McLellan’s Cascade crew rallies for national bronze The University of the Fraser Valley men’s golf team staged a massive final-round rally on Friday at the PING CCAA Golf National Championships to earn the bronze medal. Playing at their home course, Chilliwack Golf Club, the Cascades men came into the day in seventh place, 17 strokes back of the front-running Niagara College Knights and eight strokes back of a podium position. But they caught fire on Friday, combining for the best team score of the day – a two-under 286. That boosted them into third place with a cumulative three-round total of 873,
one stroke better than the Georgian Grizzlies (874). It’s the seventh time in nine years that the UFV golf program has placed at least one team on the podium at CCAA nationals, and in light of how far back they were to start the day, bronze felt pretty sweet. “There’s good ways and bad ways to come in third place, and this was definitely a great way to get third,� Cascades head coach Chris Bertram said.
“I’m really proud of the team coming up with the best score of the final day of the tournament. “We had a tall task today. We said that if we did everything we needed to do, third was in sight. And you know, they stepped up. They played great, and they earned it.� Leading the way for the Cascades was fourth-year standout Connor O’Dell. The two-time CCAA AllCanadian from Maple
Ridge carded a twounder 70 on Friday – one of the best individual rounds of the day. That boosted him into a tie for sixth place at -1 for the tournament, and he earned all-star honours as a top-six finisher. O’Dell was also the male recipient of the Fair Play Award, in recognition of his sportsmanship throughout the week. “He’s a great player, he’s a great person to play golf with, and it’s

Edith Irene
A Lovely Woman - A Happy Life Feb. 24, 1916 - Oct. 16, 2015
(nee: Coles)
Dorothy passed gently into the night with her dear ones close by on Friday, October 16 at Cascade Lodge. She was 99 years and eight months old and would say she did not want to live to 100. Determined as she was she managed her way. It won’t be the same without her as Dorothy will be missed by the many people whose lives she touched. We all loved her dearly.
Edith passed away peacefully at the Eden Care Centre in Chilliwack, BC on Friday, October 9, 2015, at the age of 98 years. She was born in Miami, Manitoba, on August 29, 1917. Edith was predeceased by her husband, John in 1998 and three of her children Ruth, Cecil and John. She is survived by one brother, Roy (Marg); of North Battleford, Sask; also three of their children, Hugh Lavery (Gloria); Glen Lavery (Linda); and Patricia Howard (Terry); 7 grandchildren and 7
Born February 24, 1916, Dorothy was raised in Watrous, SK where in grade 5 she met Alfred - the love of her life. Married in 1936 they enjoyed the rare gift of 72 happy years together. They lived mainly in Humboldt, SK, later retiring to Prince Albert National Park, SK, Phoenix, AZ and most recently Chilliwack, B.C.
great grandchildren. The family would like to thank the staff at Eden for their care over the last 11 years. No funeral is planned, however, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society would be greatly appreciated.
Dorothy was a force in her own way. She took wonderful care of her family, attending to their every need with the love and care of a devoted mother. As well she was involved in the community with the United Church, Brownies, figure skating, bridge, and school events. She loved her garden, sewing, knitting, cooking and decorating. One day the family returned home to find she had recovered a chair in Purple!! For the fifties, she was definitely ahead of her time.
Dorothy is survived by her loving daughter Barbara and husband Dick; daughter-in-law Sandee, grandchildren: Scott (Valerie), Shaun (Anna), Suzanne (Andrew), Rhonda (Steve), Lise (Glenn); great grandchildren: Jessica, Hailey, Isabelle, Ava, Keaton, Teagan, Malia, Delaney, Kimowan; sister-in-law Phyllis, and many nieces and nephews. Dorothy was predeceased by her dear husband Alfred, loving son Ronald, and brothers Gordon and Floyd. The family extends many thanks for the dedication and professional care offered to Dorothy by both Dr. Ken Harder and the Cascade Lodge. To the staff at Cascade Lodge 4th floor who brightened her days in so many ways and who so lovingly cared for her over the course of her stay with them, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are grateful her stay was a happy one. A celebration of Dorothy’s life will be held at son’s Funeral Home Chilliwack, on Saturday, 24, at 2 pm.
