Homeless shelter given 18-month extension More than 40 speakers at city hall offered feedback for four hours

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Chilliwack council voted to extend the permit for The Portal homeless shelter in the current Yale Road location for another 18 months. It was a public hearing that stretched well into the night on Oct. 15, ending with a unanimous vote of council coming after 1 a.m. Wednesday. In the end, council voted to whittle down the original three-year permit to 18 months in a compromise decision. That was after more than 40 people took the microphone at the public hearing to describe the various impacts and perceptions of the downtown homeless shelter in their neighbourhood. Many voices said the same thing: the work being done at The Portal to help vulnerable people is crucial and much needed in Chilliwack, “but it’s in the wrong location.”

Some thought it should be moved right away, maybe to an industrial part of town. The issue of public safety came up repeatedly, and many said the young people have the right to feel safe walking to school. The speakers described the excrement, the needles, and the condoms they’ve found. They talked about people on drugs flailing madly in the streets, screams that pierce the night, the sickening fights, and boomboxes blaring. Several speakers talked about feeling scared, frustrated, and angry about what this area of Chilliwack has become. Dustin Fairhurst told council he’d been trying to sell his residential unit for months, and thinks the shelter should be in an industrial area. “We’re at ground zero,” Fairhurst

Mountie suing the RCMP for malicious prosecution Paul Henderson The Progress

A Chilliwack RCMP officer is suing the police force for malicious prosecution after she was cleared of wrongdoing in a conduct hearing. Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth

faced five allegations after a domestic violence incident involving another RCMP officer and his estranged spouse, a woman who was Hollingsworth’s friend. Leading up to an alleged incident on July 20, 2016, Hollingsworth was accused of abusing her position and conspiring with

members of the public and her husband, Inspector Sukhjit (Suki) Manj, to find out intimate details of the private life of the male officer accused of the domestic assault. “It was also alleged that Cpl. Hollingsworth failed to address the alleged victim’s genuine fear

that her estranged husband, a member, would attend her residence following the incident,” according to the RCMP conduct hearing decision written by retired Mountie Kevin L. Harrison. Following the hearing, which was held in September 2018,

Harrison found none of the five allegations made against Hollingsworth were established. Both Hollingsworth and Manj were stationed in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan from 2014 to July 2016, including at the time of the incident. It was after that when they were transferred back to

B.C., where they are from, because of Manj’s handling of the relationship between a police services dog handler, and a civilian RCMP employee. The woman denied the relationship, but the RCMP has Continued on Page A7

Federal Election 2019

Spotlight on B.C.: A dozen key races to Part three in a series into how B.C. watch on Election Day will affect the national outcome The campaigns are over. The ballots are ready. Here are 10 ridings to watch in B.C. as the election results come in, based on data from Statistics Canada and Elections Canada, and compiled by Canadian market research firm Return On Insight. Vancouver Island Esquimalt–Saanich–Sooke: The shifting fortunes of federal parties in B.C. are reflected here, with the NDP incumbent Randall Garrison pitted against his 2015 Liberal challenger, David Merner, now running for the Greens. Merner has an excellent chance to turn this seat Green if he can channel the concerns of moderate voters who oppose Liberal pipeline policies. However, Green hopes may be dashed if the New Democrat base of support that had weakened at the outset of the campaign rebounds dramatically by Oct. 21. Courtenay–Alberni: The NDP’s Gord Johns won this riding in 2015 in a three-way race, defeating longtime Conservative MP and former Harper cabinet minister John Duncan. Given the drop in NDP support since the last time at the polls, this riding could be another close three-way race, with the Greens having an outside shot, especially considering nearby Nanaimo–Ladysmith shifted from NDP to Green in a recent byelection. Interior Kamloops–Thompson–Cariboo: Incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod faces a strong challenge from popular former BC Liberal en-

2019 Election

INSIGHTS with Bruce Cameron

vironment minister Terry Lake, now running for the federal Liberals. The Liberals initially believed that NDP support could shift their way after a second NDP candidate was forced to resign on the first day of the campaign. However, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s late surge may make this close. Kootenay–Columbia: The NDP’s Wayne Stetski won here four years ago by a razor-thin, 280-vote margin, despite it being a longtime Conservative stronghold, held by former Alliance and Reform Rarty MP Jim Abbott since 1997. If the Tories are to challenge the Liberals nationally, they must win back seats like Kootenay–Columbia. Lower Mainland Pitt Meadows–Maple Ridge: Liberal Dan Ruimy narrowly won his seat in 2015, beating out the Conservatives by only 1,300 votes. But loyalties and personalities have shifted

considerably since then. The NDP challenger from 2015, Bob D’Eith, is now the area’s MLA, and former BC Liberal MLA Marc Dalton is running for the Conservatives. This result could be right down to the wire. Cloverdale–Langley City: Liberal incumbent John Aldag won by 10 per cent over the Tories last time around, but Liberal support has dropped across the country since then, putting this riding into play. Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives have high hopes that businesswoman Tamara Jansen will be able to wrest back what was once a fairly safe Tory seat. But former Conservative MP Gurmant Grewall is also running here, for the People’s Party of Canada, and could siphon off Conservative votes. Coquitlam–Port Coquitlam: Liberal Ron McKinnon captured this formerly solid Conservative seat by fewer than 2,000 votes in 2015. The

Liberals will be spending a lot more money here this time, after they were outspent by the Conservatives by more than $170,000 the last time at the polls. If some of the NDP voting base shifts to the Liberals to stop the Conservatives, then this seat will remain Liberal. South Surrey–White Rock: Gordie Hogg, the popular former mayor of White Rock, is battling to keep this seat Liberal against Conservative Kerry-Lynne Findlay. If this 2015 pick-up by the Liberals falls to the Conservatives in 2019, it may signal that Scheer will form government. Vancouver Vancouver Granville: Former Liberal justice minister and newly independent candidate Jody Wilson-Raybould will face off against Liberal Taleeb Noormohamed in this contest sure to garner national attention. A riding poll by Justason Market Intelligence suggests Wilson-Raybould may have a lead, cobbled together from a diverse collection of former Liberal voters, NDP voters and even some Conservative voters eager to send Justin Trudeau a message. Vancouver Kingsway: Three-term NDP MP Don Davies was first elected here in 2008, but with a star candidate running for the Liberals in former TV anchor Tamara Taggart, this riding is in play. Not only is it one of the oldest ridings in B.C., it also contains a high proportion of immigrants, such as Chinese Canadians (36 per cent) and Filipino Canadians

(13 per cent). The rise in New Democrat support post-debates might be enough for Davies to hold on. North Vancouver: Liberal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Jonathan Wilkinson will test the Liberals’ ability to retain seats in areas around Vancouver in 2015. He faces Andrew Saxton, former Conservative MP from 20082015, in a re-run of the 2015 vote. In the previous campaign, Wilkinson won by 30 per cent, so there would have to be a large collapse of Liberal support for Saxton to make this a close race. If it is close, this head-to-head, Conservative-Liberal clash could have national implications, deciding which party forms government. Burnaby North–Seymour: For pure theatrics and candidate charisma, this riding is worth watching. It pits young, energetic incumbent Liberal MP Terry Beech against former NDP MP Svend Robinson, one of Canada’s first openly gay MPs, who is trying to win after serving many of the same constituents for 25 years. It also happens to be the endpoint for the Trans Mountain pipeline, which puts the Liberal government’s pipeline policies and recent federal purchase of Trans Mountain in the spotlight like no other riding in the province. The Conservatives will be a non-issue here, since their candidate was removed for anti-gay statements. Bruce Cameron, Black Press Media’s polling analyst, is the founder of Return On Insight.

‘There will never be a perfect location’ Continued from A1 said, adding that some prospective buyers arriving to view his place wouldn’t even get out of the car when they saw what was going on in the street. He brought a black garbage bag into council chambers and took out three homemade billy club type weapons to show council, saying that he confiscated them from the homeless people living on his balcony. Supporters pointed out out that the crime, mental health and addictions issues were pre-existing problems downtown before the shelter opened, but back then there was no security on-site, staffing and no services. “Having The Portal next to schools is not ideal but getting rid of it would only exacerbate the problems of theft, property crime and more,” said Fatima Saidi, a homelessness researcher and crisis intervention specialist. “Supporting it does not mean saying yes to bad behaviour.” But one downtown resident said living in the area, it is “an act of resistance as a woman” just to walk around the community. Anouk Crawford said her kids have become afraid to venture out in the neighbourhood.

Her daughter asked if they could move to another part of town. “Her concerns are not baseless,” Crawford said. Speakers reported the endless, and visible hard-drug use and brazen drug deals. Colin Skinner said crime had intensified tenfold since the shelter opened, despite officials who said they had received no complaints or negative feedback about the shelter from the school community. “Homeless people need to be looked after,” Skinner said, adding it’s the criminals at issue. “Their rights are no greater than the rights of all.” Several who stood at the microphone insisted that council should “put children’s safety first,” and a petition had more than 3,800 names in favouring of moving the shelter away from its location near two downtown schools. Several downtown residents said they supported the location, and The Portal’s extended permit, arguing it actually addresses and solves, rather than creates, the myriad health and social issues plaguing the neighbourhood. Officials said point blank there were no suitable alternative locations to move to. Christopher Hunt

‘RCMP members are... notorious gossips’ Continued from Page A1 since admitted it did happen. Manj deemed the relationship to be inappropriate as he felt it violated RCMP workplace policy, but his bosses told him to drop it. After the matter was investigated, both Manj and Hollingsworth were suspended by the RCMP in September 2017 and conduct hearings were initiated. The Progress reached out to Manj with an interview request, but neither he nor Hollingsworth responded before press deadline on Oct. 17. In an interview with the CBC, Hollingsworth said she lived by the core values of the RCMP, so to be accused of lying was “mortifying.” The incident and the weeks leading up to it involved the breakdown of friendships among various couples, including

the dog handler and his former spouse, Hollingsworth’s close friend. Hollingsworth was accused of trying to find out intimate details of Freeman’s “friendship” with a female municipal employee who also worked at the Lloydminster detachment where Manj was the officer in charge. In his decision, Harrison found Hollingsworth’s superior made a series of “quantum leaps” about the intentions of Hollingsworth’s behaviour. Harrison described how the rumoured relationship between Freeman and the employee would have like emerged anyway because Lloydminster is not a large community, and matters of infidelity tend to get talked about in small towns. “RCMP members are high-profile members of small communities,” Harrison wrote. “Therefore, they are often in

the public gaze. So, any hint of infidelity involving an RCMP member in the community would be a rather juicy topic for rumours and gossip. Additionally, RCMP members themselves are notorious gossips.” Assessing the credibility of those who testified at the hearing, both Hollingsworth and Manj were deemed to be credible, while the credibility of some others was questioned. On a more serious accusation against Hollingsworth, that she failed to be diligent in protecting the alleged victim from the alleged domestic assault, Harrison found that she had no reason to think violence would occur given that the dog handler is a police officer, trained to defuse, not escalate, a volatile situation. Hollingsworth filed her lawsuit on Oct. 11. The force has not yet responded.

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing healthcare across Canada. Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing. Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate? It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss.

Vote wisely, but vote

The long wait is almost over. Before you go to bed on Monday night, you’ll know which party Canadians chose to run the country for the next four years. Hopefully, it won’t give you nightmares. And if you haven’t voted already, Oct. 21 is your last chance to be a part of that decision. Black Press Media’s policy is not to endorse particular candidates or parties, but we do endorse you getting out and making an informed vote, so here are a few things to think about. The election campaign has been somewhat divisive so far, especially at the national levels, with party leaders, at times, talking more about their competitors’ personalities and policies. But you’re not voting for Elizabeth May, Jagmeet Singh, Andrew Scheer or Justin Trudeau. You’re voting for the party and the ideals that you support, and even more, the candidate that is going to best represent and fight for the community in Ottawa. That might be an incumbent who did a good job over the last four years, or it might be a newcomer who has the force of personality and the chops to be effective, even if they end

up in opposition. Too often, voters end up casting their ballot against a candidate, rather than for one they support. But “anyone but” voting isn’t a path to good governance, it’s just more government that doesn’t truly have the support of the people. There aren’t any backsies when it comes to casting your vote so that mark you make is going to influence how the community, the country, fares until the next election. That makes voting a big responsibility, and not one that should be taken lightly, or driven by a reflex reaction to one candidate or another. It’s easy to get caught up in the personalities game, especially these days, where the internet has made it easy to dig up dirt on anyone and hold up their every misstep for the country to see. Nor do you really need anything factual. False rumours can spread as easily and as fast as the truth — usually, even faster. In the end, it’s up to you. But the important thing is to vote, and ensure that Canada has a government that will work for the betterment of us all in the coming years. – Black Press Media

We are all broken, just in different ways

Homelessness and addiction are recent headlines in our community. Often, the addiction that a person struggles with is not their core problem; it is simply a symptom or masking agent of a deeper problem rooted in the brokenness of trust, being the victim of trauma or growing up in the life-depleting effects of intergenerational trauma. The addiction, of course, needs to be treated. Help is needed to support, encourage, raise up self-respect and empower the person struggling and to begin carefully exposing the hurt, pain and trauma in a safe and caring environment where their broken heart and social distortions can be healed. Here’s the truth of the matter: We are all broken, just in different ways. If I judge someone for their plight, I’m inadvertently judging myself

trying to soothe my pain or to feel superior to those struggling with the more openly visible struggles. Homelessness and addiction are the open visible leprosies of our culture. Meanwhile, the rest of us struggle with the internal diseases of greed, self-centredness, John superiority, pride, GRAY envy, anger, laziness which are powerful life-depleting conditions. Without knowing it, we are dying on the inside just like our street friends. We believe that somehow their condition is worse than ours and we feel justified in marginalizing them and pushing them to the perimeters of our communities, if not, beyond the

gates of our city. But together, we all share a common condition of being broken on the inside. One of the challenges to homeless in Chilliwack has been the communal response, “Not In My Backyard” (NIMBYism). We somehow want somebody else (i.e. government) to deal with it just as long as we don’t have to see or engage these neighbours on our streets. We believe that if they are out-of-sight and outof-mind, doing such will somehow calm our senses and we won’t be reminded of our personal struggles in our “own front-yard.” By judging the homeless and those affected by addiction, we blame them for our discomfort. Seeing them reminds us of our own vulnerabilities and our own brokenness that we don’t want to confront. And for others, the way we act

existence. The next time we feel the urge to mock, minimize or marginalize a homeless person we see, let’s use that opportunity to allow them to be a mirror to our soul. Ask yourself, “What is it about this person that is causing this disruption in my soul?” “How is it that I am giving so much power over my emotional life to a person I don’t even know?” “What is it that I need to deal with in my life before I jump to conclusions about what needs to be fixed in others?” Maybe the homeless person I see is not a problem to be fixed but a gift to me. They are a reminder I should be working on my own stuff before trying to “fix” someone else.

towards people who struggle with homelessness and addiction, albeit unintentionally, continues to reflect that we are superior, and they are inferior. In the process, we hurt them and ourselves. People struggling with homelessness and addiction struggle daily to survive creating feelings of helplessness, anxiety, suffocation and desperation that are simply unparalleled in the lives of the rest of us who don’t struggle with such debilitating conditions. Caught in a web of powerlessness, isolation, physical weakness, chronic pain and community judgment, trying to get out of the web is exhausting; change is difficult, and the web weaves more of its strands to choke out life. The result of this humiliation is the loss of identity. If a person loses their identity, they lose their reason for

You would literally have to shut down all of downtown Chilliwack. Quit being afraid of people because they ain’t like you! Melissa Taylor Thank you to everyone who came out to speak- for both sides. I don’t think anyone is truly and entirely pleased with the outcome and that means council did its job and found a real compromise. Hopefully those opposing the location will join in You can comment on helping find permanent any story you read at solutions for this comwww.theprogress.com munity. I saw a lot of passion and direction in that room. Let’s harness it now and work together. I don’t want to see those folks who were all fired up now shrinking away to do nothing until 18 months from now. Lots we can do in the meantime! Margaret Reid

Speak up!

It’s funny, I live across the street from a large church, empty five to six days a week, and even on Sundays the parking lot is never full. And there’s almost always at least one person sleeping outside of this empty building. Seems like there’s a solution in there somewhere.

Nothing wrong with fetus doll In the letter to the editor in the Oct 11, 2019 Progress (“Parade ruined by fetus doll handout”) the writer comments “…and found it difficult to explain…” when their six-year-

old granddaughter found the fetus-sized doll some people in the parade who want people in her parade goodies. Simply explain, “This to see and have these.” Does a six-year-old is what a 12-week-old fetus growing in its need any further explanation? I think not. Denise Meyer mothers ‘tummy’ looks like, and there were

Parade handout was a thoughtless act Chilliwack has come such a long way in the 30 plus years I have lived here but there are times, and this is one of them, where it appears that people are trying to take a giant step back in time. I don’t normally wade into religion or politics in a public way but I can’t ignore that in 2019, that this nonsense is going on in Chilliwack. It is shameful

to see that organizers of a family event would allow a float in the Rosedale parade to hand out packages to children that included tiny plastic fetuses, candy with foot prints on them (which included a message on fetal development and a website advertisement). This act shows a complete lack of empathy toward women’s rights, for women

who may have lost a baby, or for women who have had to seek an end to a pregnancy for any reason. It is truly heartbreaking to think that at this point in time, that anyone could be so heartless as to shamefully toss this kind of thoughtless material off a parade float to children. Was it supposed to be one heck of a conversation starter?

It is one heck of a trauma trigger for the countless women who have had to terminate a pregnancy or to women who have lost a pregnancy by miscarriage. Shame on whomever it was that came up with this idea and shame on the folks that went along with it. This thoughtless act shows a complete lack of empathy for our fellow hu-

mans. We as a community have work to do Chilliwack. We are diverse, we are multicultural, and we are all in this space together. We are no longer a sleepy little town where everyone shares the same thoughts on who we are, how we live, where we go to church or not. Our diversity can be, should be, our strength. Holly Matheson

Climate change action needs support The new German climate plan was considered weak, even when compared to Canada’s, but Angela Merkel said, “Politics is what is possible.” This thought encapsulates reality when considering the climate policies of the political parties. The proposals of both the Green and NDP have some good ideas to aspire to but are not practically achievable with the current level of public support. A recent article in the Globe and Mail provided a worthy comment: “The fact is, these politicians have tens of millions of people to worry about in the here and now. The Canadian government could take radical steps to meet its commitment under the Paris agreement and there would very likely be a revolt in the streets because of the

hardship and dislocation it could well cause.” Criticized by Thomas Cheney (Progress letters, Oct. 4, 2019), the Liberal pipeline decision was made to minimize risks to the Canadian economy and unity. It is disingenuous to consider the decision without including the counterbalancing climate policies that have been implemented. These include the use of profits from the purchase to invest in green technology, the escalating carbon levy (returned to the taxpayers), the clean fuel standard, the phased closure of coal plants, the pending methane emissions standard legislation, the output based pricing system for large emitters, and the zero emissions vehicle program. The net effect is a significant movement on the carbon reduction file.

The Liberals recognized what is politically possible when balancing national cohesion and a viable economic sector with policies that drive us toward meeting our Paris Agreement commitment. It is true that experts have indicated that the plan will miss the target. In order to meet it, the public will first have to accept that further personal commitment and more stringent government policies are required. A recent poll found that although fighting climate change was the top priority of two thirds of Canadians, only one in four were willing to spend more than $9 per month for the cause. It is critical to build greater public support first in order to make the necessary political decisions. Chris Byra

The Portal residents are often elderly, Raddatz underlined, with half over the age of 50 and forced out on the streets for various reasons. â€œI will fight for the seniors and I will fight vividly,â€? Raddatz said. â€œSome are sick and canâ€™t afford a place to live and their medicine, so they come to the Mission, and to The Portal. That is our society.â€? He said the numbers of seniors in the shelter

is growing. â€œItâ€™s not the best location but itâ€™s the best we can do,â€? Raddatz said. They plan to draft a Good Neighbour Agreement, and strike a community advisory committee and move forward with an eye to seeking another location. Coun. Jason Lum called the entire exercise â€œcivic engagement at its finestâ€? and reminded him of all the passion for community thatâ€™s out there. He favoured keeping the shelter open and went along with the amended shorter duration motion.

â€œIf we could harness some of that passion, weâ€™d be doing all right. That being said, thereâ€™s a difference between passion and ignorance.â€? But he was very uncomfortable with someoneâ€™s suggestion that those struggling with addiction could be â€œdisappeared,â€? or that they were vermin or riffraff or rats. â€œThatâ€™s dehumanizing language and itâ€™s unacceptable,â€? Lum said. When it came time for the council vote, Coun. Bud Mercer told the crowd, â€œIâ€™m normally considered the hard ass, and maybe 40 years of law enforcement has something to do with that. In this case, what I know to be true is that no one leaving this room will be completely happy with what transpired.â€? The important work of the shelter and navigation to services is a necessary part of the recovery â€œarchitecture,â€? Coun. Mercer said. He along with other councillors said they wouldnâ€™t support three years, but came to agree on 18 months. Visit www.theprogress.com to see more comments on this vote.

About two years ago, while reading The Chilliwack Progress, I happened upon an advertisement or rather an invitation to volunteer. Having more available time, I decided to attend the meeting, thinking this would occupy my morning. What an awakening it was. I found myself entering a course called Senior Peer Counsellors. I questioned myself “why did I come here?” and had a thought of quietly slipping out, but once classes commenced my interest zoomed. We were formally introduced. There was a great variation of backgrounds, education and interests, but the quality that was foremost was the desire to help. For the next three to five hours we (about 10 of us) started receiving lectures followed by six more weeks at 10 hours a week. These sessions were very well presented and

with plenty of time for questions and discussions. Our lectures covered many topics — highlighting a few — communication, information, finances, resources, dementia, Alzheimer’s and abuse. We sharpened our skills in listening and understanding and dealing with feelings, attitudes, neglect and general ethics. As a matter of interest did you know that there are 256 words that can define our emotions? Yes, and we can tell you. Once we had completed our course we received a certificate and we were ready to face our clients armed with our knowledge. We were not, though, released into the public without clearance from our friendly RCMP. To date there are 62 counsellors and 100 clients who are dealt with in strict confidentiality. The need to help seniors cope with various situations and loneliness is a well-known fact and Helen Long, our instructor, was one of the first to recognize this

in our community and help start the organization in the year 2000. The office is easily accessed at 45938 Wellington Ave. in Chilliwack. The decision I made that day, even though not quite aware, was one of the best I have ever made. The counsellors are indeed wonderful to say the least. Once every month we attend a round table conference, surely a unique experience. In answer to the question I posed at the beginning of this article “why did I come here?” my reply is “This is exactly where I want to be.” Chilliwack Senior Peer Counsellors is about seniors helping seniors. Visit www. chilliwackseniorpeercounsellors.org for more information on how to get involved, or call 604-793-7204. Herta Stoffels is a long-time Chilliwack resident and wrote a column in The Progress in the late 1970s and 1980s entitled Kitchen Kapers.

Reimagine YOUR HOME

OCTOBER 2019 h PRODUCTS h QUALIFIED TRADES h EXPERT ADVICE

Small Kitchen Improvements that Maximize Functionality Many homeowners wish for expansive kitchens. Modernized kitchens that include sought after features and showcase the latest trends go a long way to improving the overall value of a home. As desirable as such kitchens may be, some homes simply don’t have enough space for a centerfold-worthy kitchen featuring an island, wine refrigerator and walk-in pantry. However, homeowners with small kitchens can still improve the form and function of their existing spaces.

RECONFIGURE AND REVAMP CABINETRY Homeowners whose kitchens are small often lament their lack of storage. Redesigning the layout of cabinets, and possibly adding some more cabinetry, may take care of certain storage issues. The experts at Merit Kitchens suggest utilizing corner space with LeMans units, lazy susans and other gadgets to make access to these areas easier. Going vertical with wall cabinets that extend to the ceiling also can add more storage, as can roll-in work carts.

WORK WITH THE WALLS

USE SCALED-DOWN APPLIANCES

Small kitchens require clever usage of vertical space. Vertical storage units, hooks, shelving, and more can move items out of drawers and off of counters. Consider an under-the-cabinet toaster oven and microwave to create more counter space.

Shop with size in mind when looking at new appliances if you have a small kitchen. Compact versions won’t take up as much space as larger alternatives. Homeowners should consider the ultimate function of the kitchen and then think about which appliances will serve them well. Homeowners with small kitchens may not need a large stand mixer or an oversized commercial stove.

ADD SOME GLASS The DIY Network recommends incorporating glass to improve the perception of space in small kitchens. Glass lets you see through the objects, thereby enhancing the feeling of spaciousness or what designers call “negative space.” Glass also can be reflective, visually expanding the space.

EMBRACE HIGH-END MATERIALS It costs less to renovate small spaces than bigger areas, so homeowners may be able to afford high-end materials that really add personality to a kitchen. Flooring, counter materials and quality fixtures can really set small kitchens apart. Small kitchens can be culinary havens with the right improvements to maximize the space.

Powerwashing tips for homeowners

Once a job left to the pros, backyard pressure washers are affordable and lightweight Powerwashing, also known as pressure-washing, utilizes a high-velocity water spray to remove dirt and residue from the exterior surfaces of a home. It is frequently used on vinyl siding, concrete and sometimes wood decks to treat mildew and other growth that accumulates over time. Powerwashing can be a great way to remove grime without having to scrub by hand. But it requires a delicate touch to get it right. Sometimes it is best to leave the job to professionals. But homeowners willing to give it a go can try powerwashing themselves, as various stores rent power washers. The home improvement website ImproveNet says that, until very recently, pressure washers were almost exclusively commercial machines

sold to professionals or rented to do-it-yourselfers. Lately manufacturers have targeted homeowners looking to buy with lightweight options. For those who see powerwashing as a routine venture, purchasing a unit may be worth the investment. It is important to exercise caution when operating a powerwashing machine. The high-velocity spray can tear through skin. It is key to get a feel for the washer, and try less pressure first to get a handle on the magnitude of the tool. Don safety gear prior to using a pressure washer. Gloves, eye protection and ear protection can be handy. Most units will connect to a standard garden hose. Choose old clothing and expect to get wet. Never point a powerwasher hose at anyone

Powerwashing the exterior of the home can be an effective way to clean it in the spring and fall. and do not attempt to rinse feet or hands in the spray. The renovation resource The Family Handyman

suggests starting with a wide-degree nozzle to test out the spray on the surface that needs to be cleaned. A

15- or 25-degree nozzle is usually the wand for general cleaning and paint stripping without damaging the surface

of the home. Experiment with an optimal distance of the washer wand to get the desired cleaning effects without causing any damage. Work using a horizontal and slightly downward angle to avoid driving water up under the siding of a home. Avoid spraying any electric wires or components on the home. Also, try not to spray upward, and angle the spray away from doors, windows and vents. Some washers have reservoirs that will hold a detergent solution. Choose the right detergent for the job. Keep in mind that cleansers containing bleach can damage surrounding plants, so they may need to be covered while the washing takes place. Avoid the use of ladders when operating a powerwasher. The push-back from the wand can cause falls. Instead, opt for an extension wand to address the upper reaches of a home. Powerwashing a home is an effective way to remove stubborn grime and refresh the look of a homeâ€™s exterior.

Mould and mildew are not only unsightly, but unhealthy. These fungi grow readily in damp areas and are found in the air breathed both indoors and outside. If left unaddressed, mould and mildew can threaten the health of a home’s inhabitants. Mildew is a type of mould that remains relatively flush with the surface it grows on. Other moulds can grow puffy in appearance. Moulds serve the purpose of destroying organic materials, but in high amounts, these micro-organisms can cause respiratory problems, sinus congestion, throat irritation, headaches, and other issues, particularly when mould grows unchecked indoors, says Better Homes and Gardens. As a result, it is essential to address mould before it becomes problematic. According to Polygon, a drying technology and temporary climate solutions company, the wet season in winter is when moulds often grow and expand. Mould can break down the integrity and strength of the surfaces where it grows. Homeowners can employ the following strategies to prevent mould growth. • Keep all surfaces clean, using

Rotarians digging in for new tree planting project Club celebrating 85 years with new project

Rotarian Debra Soutar with some samples of the kinds of trees that will make up the 85 FOR 85 planting program. (Submitted photo)

Rotary came to Chilliwack 85 years ago, and the Rotary Club of Chilliwack is celebrating this occasion by planting at least 85 trees this fall. And they are providing opportunities for the community to take part and dedicate trees to commemorate special people. “We’re excited to offer this opportunity to the people of Chilliwack.” said Club president Michael Berger. “We think that people will love having a tree that they can watch grow and change with the seasons, and that they will be able to commemorate a special person in their life.” For only $185, community members can choose from a list of trees and locations, and use it to honour a loved one by planting an 85 FOR 85 tree. The City of Chilliwack, School District 33, Sto:lo Nation, the University of the Fraser Valley, and the Ministry of Forests are

all contributing suitable public spaces to plant these trees, and Rotary is approaching businesses to determine if there is more suitable space for trees. Cannor Nursery is providing the trees

and has significantly discounted the price in order to make the trees affordable. “Trees are an important part of beautifying our community, and they are important resources for birds and other wildlife. They also help mitigate the effects of climate change by

producing more oxygen and sequestering carbon,” said Debora Soutar, 85 FOR 85 project chair. As a tree patron, they explain you may choose to participate in the actual planting or have one of the Rotary volunteers do it. Plantings will take place on selected weekends in October and November, along with some in the spring of 2020. After planting, the trees will be have a watering bag attached, and will be cared and maintained for the first two years after planting. As well, Rotarians will digitally record the planted trees with their GPS coordinates, species, the patrons’ names, and dedication details.

Chilliwack teen selected to join Canadian delegation on trip to Italy Chilliwack teenager, Cassie Bell, was recently selected as one of four students from across the country to travel with the official Government of Canada delegation to Italy to mark the 75th anniversary of the Italian Campaign, part of the Allied invasion of Europe in the second world war. Bell, along with the rest of the Canadian delegation, will be flying from Ottawa to Italy on Nov. 29 for a week-long educational program consisting of ceremonies of remembrance, visiting war museums and monuments, and meeting with veterans. “I’m really honoured,”

says Bell about being chosen from so many applicants across the country, “to be meeting veterans that have given up so much for us – it’s a big deal. I’m really excited.” The fully-funded trip, organized by Veterans Affairs Canada to commemorate the Italian Campaign, will have delegates participating in a number of ceremonies throughout Italy, including at the Price of Peace monument and Canadian Heroes Square in Ortona and at the Moro River Canadian War Cemetery. Along with meeting and interviewing veterans, Bell and the other youth delegates will be speaking

at some of the memorial ceremonies. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” says Bell, who learned about the Italian Campaign tour following her involvement in a Historica Canada program called ‘Encounters with Canada’ last March. Being of Italian descent herself, and having family members who fought in the Second World War, she eagerly applied. She says she is now enthusiastically looking forward to this experience. In preparation of her travels Bell must complete a research project which she will share with her fellow delegates and with

veterans at various events throughout the trip. A number of Canadian veterans, who represent regiments that took part in the 20-month long Italian Campaign, will also be part of the delegation. The Italian Campaign was a very important Canadian military effort, which aided in the eventual liberation of Europe. More than 93,000 Canadians played a vital role in this campaign, in which there were nearly 6,000 casualties. Bell lives in Chilliwack with her family and is a Grade 11 student at St. John Brebeuf Regional Secondary School in Abbotsford.

tinued to operate as a dairy and hay operation until 2006, when current owners Will and Tracey decided to focus on hay production and custom farm work. It was a decision Will attributes to a passion inherited from his father and grandfather. “I am so grateful for the opportunity to farm, and for the hard work and dedication of the generations before me that gave me this opportunity,” he said. “I couldn’t imagine living my life any other way.” Will and Tracey have two daughters, Brynn and Jillian. Orkadian Farms continues to operate as Red Barn Hay Company, thriving as a local hay operation and custom forage business.

dairy farm. When David passed in 1938, his son John took over farm operations. He lived on the farm with his wife Carmeta, their three children Margaret, Bill and Flora, and John’s mother, Catherine. The family continued their dairy operation, in addition to custom farm work grinding grain and baling. Bill married Stephanie in 1962 and had three children, Will, Bryan and Carmen. While living in the original farm house, they continued to operate the dairy, adding beef, peas and corn to their family operation. Over the years, the family has expanded the farm to 120 acres.

Blue Giants run over Meadow Ridge Knights It was a peewee sweep for Chilliwack Giants teams in minor football action last weekend. The Blue Giants scored a 25-6 road win over the Meadow Ridge Knights, with a dominant ground game paving the way. Caleb Friesen and Cody Hagel both topped 100 yards rushing behind an offensive line led by Ayden Barwich, Jake Pronick and Malakai Hakansson. Wideouts Evan Fawcett and Ryden Tatler threw crushing blocks on two touchdown runs and slotback Kenna Friesen scored a major on a jet sweep. Linebackers Amara Sesay, Denver Adam and Wyatt Carstensen led a hard-hitting defence. Linemen Colin Mansfield, Joe Smith and Theraz Kelly combined for six quarterback sacks and 10 tackles for loss. Meanwhile, the White Giants took down the Mission Niners by a 30-6 count. Ridley Mastin had two rushing touch-

downs with Isaiah Tolmie and Corbin Holdridge also finding the endzone. Big time blocks by linemen Jacob Stoneson, Myles Watkiss and Evan Perkull made it happen. Austin Bennett and Aaden McAlary led a hard-charging defence, with linebacker Rylan Janke recovering a fumble.

Chilliwack’s atom teams also enjoyed a winning weekend. The Red Giants evened their record at 3-3 with a 28-24 win over Mission. Parker Grant was unstoppable, scoring four touchdowns on offence and producing multiple tackles and an interception on defence. Wyatt Knoke and Carson Andres were standouts on the offensive and defensive lines and Myles Baker was a two-way force. Meanwhile the Blue Giants fought Meadow Ridge to an 8-8 draw. Landon Keddy scored the Chilliwack touchdown, driving in

from the one yard line. Jackson Gamboa added the point after. Hunter Gamboa was a wrecking ball on the defensive line, harrsassing the Meadow Ridge QB the entire game. The Logans, Sargent MacDonald, were sideline-to-sideline guard-dogs, snuffing out any Meadow Ridge runs. Linebacker Caleb Deacon was a heat-seeking missile, stopping the Knights with explosive tackles. Corners I ke Carstensen and Felix Samokhvalenko shut down the Meadow Ridge passing game, not allowing a single completion.

The Elite 9 bantam Giants faced the North Langley Bears under the Friday night lights at Townsend Park. The Giants offence faced a beastly Bears D and did their best. Logan Boychuck, Austin Wegener, Evan Butler and Logan Tocher turned in some solid runs straight up the middle while Billy

Chilliwack junior bantam Giant Brayden Fraser delivers a stiff arm to a Meadow Ridge tackler during a minor football game last weekend. Hunter used his speed and agility to bounce the ball outside, and make some nice pass catches. Logan Head directed the action at quar-

terback and led the team’s only scoring drive, capped off by a Travis Richley touchdown run. On the defensive side, linemen Kade

and Tyler Kelly punished the North Langley front five all game. Dayton Roger and Darien Friesen were sure tacklers in the secondary.

Basketball Cascades dive into exhibition action

Deanna Tuchscherer’s University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team opened its exhibition schedule at the Calgary Cup exhibition tournament last weekend, showing marked improvement over the course of the threeday event. The Cascades struggled in their opener, falling 78-40 to the Carleton Ravens on Friday afternoon. UFV struggled

to score against the Ravens – a program which won the U-Sports national title in 2017-18 – shooting just 21.7 per cent from the floor including 4-for-25 from beyond the arc. Maddy Gobeil (Kamloops) scored a team-high nine points, Victoria Jacobse (Mission) scored seven, and Taylor Claggett (Mission) had six points and eight boards. The Cascades

bounced back for an impressive 65-62 triumph over the Windsor Lancers on Saturday The Lancers have been the most dominant program in the nation over the past decade, having reeled off five U-Sports championships in a row between 2011 and 2015. Claggett was outstanding, with gamehigh totals for points (17) and rebounds

(nine). Gobeil scored 14 while Tuchscherer and Natalie Rathler (Langley) contributed nine points apiece. UFV took the host Calgary Dinos down to the wire Sunday only to drop a 56-53 decision. Gobeil was red-hot for the Cascades, going 5-for-7 from downtown on her way to a game-high 19 points. Tuchscherer added 10 points.

Abbotsford’s Amanda Thompson had nine and Claggett had seven. “The positives were that we got better every game,” UFV head coach Al Tuchscherer said. “Nothing really went right at either end of the floor against Carleton, and it was a struggle from the get-go. Carleton really took it to us. “Our level of compete was a lot better (against Windsor

and Calgary), and we played a lot tougher mentally and physically. When you do that, you can be in any game.” The Cascades continue the preseason with a pair of home games this weekend versus the Thompson Rivers WolfPack. Games tip off at 6 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Saturday at the Envision Financial Athletic Centre in Abbotsford. See gocascades.ca

Sardis stomps Sullivan Stars

The Sardis football Falcons turned in a dominating performance on both sides of the ball, shutting down the Sullivan Heights (Surrey) Stars by a 50-0 count last Friday. DJ Stephens got the game started with a bang, running the opening kickoff back 85 yards.

The Sardis offence struggled in its first two drives, but once the Falcons found their footing they were unstoppable. Quarterback Josh Janssen completed 14 of 21 passes for 427 yards and six touchdowns. Stephens led the pass catchers with five grabs for 229

yards and three majors while Noah Saunders, Sawyer Tether and Davies Mitchell also caught TD tosses. Myles Joinson scored a rushing touchdown on a 48 yard run to start the fourth quarter. Sardis barely ran the ball against the Stars, gaining 111 yards on just six carries. Aidan Saunders led the Falcons defence with eight tackles while Caleb Moore produced five tackles and a quarterback sack. Mitchell intercepted a pass and Allie Milne recovered a blocked punt. “What can I say. Our D was challenged to stop the run and they did a great job

this week,” said Sardis coach Adam Smith. “We have a great D staff who got the guys ready to play and the players responded great. We stressed all week to get on these guys early as we did not want to be the first team to drop a game to Sullivan Heights.” Sardis (2-1) is in Kelowna today (4 p.m.) to face the Rutland Voodoos (3-0) in a battle of one versus three in the Pacific division South. The top team in the division makes the playoffs, so this game is a near must-win for the Falcons. See bchighschoolfootball.com for more info.

Crusaders crushed

The GW Graham senior varsity Grizzlies came out on homecoming weekend and ground out a 22-13 win over Surrey’s Holy Cross Crusaders. The teams squared off last Friday under the lights at Exhibition Stadium. The Grizzlies were hyped up after a good week of practice and came out flying against their rivals, opening the scoring on their first possession. Running back Jaiden Claassen led the charge. He carried 15 times in the game for 129 yards, adding one reception for 32 yards. Energized by the electric atmosphere and energy radiating from the homecoming fans and the school’s Pep Band led by Shane Monkman, the Grizzlies got things rolling in the third quarter. Colton Holt took a three yard pass from quarterback Grayson Frick and turned it into a 60 yard touchdown. Josh Caverly added a two point conversion to give GWG a 10 point lead, and Colby Bessette rounded out the scoring with a seven yard TD run. Daniel King led the GWG defence with seven tackles while Colby Bessette and Brent Bilodeau had five tackles each. Bilodeau added a two point safety and a forced fumble in an impressive effort. The Grizzlies (2-0) are home again tonight with a 7 p.m. kickoff against the Langley Saints (2-0) in a battle of the top two teams in the Eastern conference.
