Aboriginal biz tapping into big potential Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The rapid rise of Sto:lo businesses is nothing short of exponential, and an upcoming event will spotlight the recent phenomenon. “People have little idea about the extent of it,” said Mike Watson, general manager of Sto:lo Community Futures, about the rise of entrepreneurship in Sto:lo communities across the Lower Mainland. Plans for Sto:lo Business Match, a business networking event set for Oct. 28-29 were rolled out in Chilliwack Friday by SCF reps. The goal of Sto:lo Business Match is to showcase local businesses, prescreen and pair up potential partners and investors for short, intense meetings. The two-day event could generate an estimated $5 to $10 million in new business for Sto:lo owners, stemming from the hundreds of meetings that will ensue, said Watson. Sto:lo Business Match will see 20-minute appointments made online with a high-tech tool, for meetings between Sto:lo owners and big business reps. Then mini sessions will get underway at the Ramada to explore potential for partnerships. The valley-wide Sto:lo event is modelled after a similar one held in Penticton, called Aboriginal Business Match, that generated a whopping $30 to $50 million in potential business relationships. Of the 250 aboriginal businesses now identified in Sto:lo territory, a healthy 56 per cent are based in Chilliwack, where there are nine reserves within the city borders. Sto:lo Business Match will help build capacity for Sto:lo entrepreneurs and they’ll do it by providing Continued: STO:LO/ p7

FVRD welcomes Metro Vancouver trash ruling Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s a decision that Fraser Valley politicians say could be the proverbial nail in the coffin of Metro Vancouver’s dream of building a garbage-burning incinerator. FVRD Chair Sharon Gaetz lauded the decision by B.C. Minister of Environment Mary Polak to reject Bylaw 280, which would have forced trash haulers in Metro Vancouver to stay within the Vancouver region and use only Metro facilities. “It’s the best news I have heard in a long time,” Gaetz said. Polak cited concerns that the bylaw, passed by the Metro board a

year ago, would create a monopoly on waste management, destabilize the private hauling industry and might increase illegal dumping. The decision is a win for private waste haulers who want free rein to send waste outside of Metro, as well as U.S. landfill operator Rabanco – a major destination for the outbound garbage. They and other opponents of Bylaw 280 – including the B.C. Chamber of Commerce – had lobbied the province hard for months to kill it. The negative impacts Bylaw 280 would have had on B.C. business, the environment, and the economy were cited in Polak’s decision. The FVRD and other opponents

of garbage incineration also hope the decision derails Metro’s plan to build a new $517-million wasteto-energy plant, which may not be viable if waste can flow freely to outside landfills. FVRD reps were especially pleased to note that Minister Polak acknowledged that Bylaw 280 “was not in the public’s interest,” said Gaetz. FVRD has been fighting the WTE plan for seven years, after considerable research and weighing of potential impacts to the vulnerable Fraser Valley airshed. “We sincerely hope that Metro Vancouver will now consider abandoning its plans to build a garbage incinerator and move toward more

effective, less costly alternatives.” When FVRD chair Gaetz heard about the decision, she reacted quickly on social media, posting ebulliently: “This is the best news I have heard in a very long time. “Hear that thud? It’s a nail in the coffin of Metro’s plan to burn recyclables. Happy, happy day!” It’s not about ego, she noted, it’s about protecting the region’s air shed. As part of the decision, Polak appointed Marvin Hunt, MLA for Surrey-Panorama to conduct a review of Metro Vancouver’s solid waste plan to find the most appropriate way to achieve waste diversion. “We would be pleased to work

with Metro Vancouver and Mr. Hunt to find a solution that will work across both regions,” said Gaetz. Mixed materials recovery is the way to go, she said. FVRD vice chair Patty Ross said it was call for a “big celebration,” and thanked the minister “on her balanced decision” to deny Metro Vancouver’s waste flow control Bill 280. “Without this bill, they can’t guarantee enough garbage to feed the incinerator, nor can they raise tipping fees enough to pay for it,” wrote Ross on social media. ~ With files from Jeff Nagel jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

RCMP remind residents of scam risk Chilliwack RCMP are again warning residents to watch out for scammers trying separate them from their money. Police recently received a complaint from a business owner whose services were requested through an email. A deal was struck and the man was mailed a cheque for the services. But when the cheque arrived it was for twice the amount agreed to.

The overpaid amount was then requested to be sent back to man who sent the original cheque. In this kinds of cases, the cheque often turns out to be fake once it’s processed and the victim is out the money returned to the scammer. “For tunately, in this case,” said Cst. Ashley St. Germaine, “the cheque was refused by the bank and no money was sent to the would-

be scammer.” Chilliwack RCMP are providing the following tips to help people avoid becoming victims: • Be aware of amounts received that are higher than the price asked • Be vigilant when you receive a cheque, whether certified cheque, traveler’s cheque, gift cheque or money order. Scammers use the names of banks, financial insti-

tutions and other entities issuing cheques • Ask yourself why a complete stranger would send you a cheque for any amount? Be vigilant, it could be a scam. If you have any information regarding these types of crimes call the Chilliwack RCMP, or if you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

Police have arrested and charged four people, including one from Chilliwack, who are believed to be responsible for a violent home invasion that took place on Sept. 8 in a man’s Langley City apartment. At that time, clear video surveillance of the suspects entering the victim’s apartment building were distributed to the media to solicit the public’s assistance with their identification. “The response from the public in this case was outstanding. With the collective efforts of the RCMP and the public, we can and will have positive advancements in these types of investigations,” said Insp. Murray Power, officer in charge of the Langley RCMP. “To have charges approved for an incident of this nature is extremely important to police, victims of this crime and our communities,” Power said. The Langley Times (sister paper to the Chilliwack Progress) posted the story on its Facebook page and there was tremendous interest in it. It was shared 202 times, with 23,824 people viewing it. It was around 3:15 a.m., on Sept. 8, when the victim responded to a knock at his door and opened it to a young woman. When the door opened, three men forced themselves into the apartment. The victim was ordered to be quiet and instructed to sit in a chair, said police. One of the suspects struck the victim several times, leaving a mark and swelling on his face. The victim was held at knifepoint while the remaining suspects rummaged through his apartment. A number of items were taken, including a Blackberry Playbook, two laptops, the victim’s wallet, several wristwatches and two Masonic rings. Police believe the suspects were driving a GMC Jimmy or Chevy Blazer type vehicle. Charged with break and enter and assault with a weapon are Georgia Krenus, 18, of Langley, Andreas Bronk, 24, of Chilliwack, Dustyn Wald, a 22-year-old from Surrey and Mauricio Avila, 22, of Langley. Krenus has been released on bail while Bronk and Wald remain in custody. Avila is also charged with taking a vehicle without an owner’s consent.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has set environmental rules aimed at making good on its promise to export the world’s “cleanest” liquefied natural gas. Environment Minister Mary Polak introduced legislation Monday to set limits for greenhouse gas and conventional air pollution. It includes an option for LNG producers to buy carbon offsets or contribute to a “technology fund” if their operations exceed greenhouse gas limits. Polak said the system will permit LNG development without exceeding the government’s greenhouse gas target of a 33 per cent reduction by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050. New air quality rules are also being established for nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide emissions, based on a review of air quality in the Kitimat area. The “benchmark” for greenhouse gas emissions is an average 0.16 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per tonne of LNG produced, which the government says is lower than the lowest-emitting LNG facilities in the U.S., Australia and Norway. Companies that exceed the benchmark will pay penalties on a sliding scale, and those that perform better than the benchmark will receive a carbon offset credit they can sell. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said

the technology fund idea appears to be borrowed from Alberta, where a similar fund hasn’t stopped greenhouse gas emissions from rising. “I don’t know how we can meet our greenhouse gas reductions if we get five or seven LNG plants that the premier seems to suggest are coming, despite evidence to the contrary,” Chandra Herbert said. Polak said the technology fund will be developed in consultation with industry. Carbon offsets will be used to pay for projects in B.C. such as lower-emission transportation and buildings, and there is no plan to count emissions reductions from Asian users who use LNG to reduce coal use, she said.

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said the sliding scale for excess emissions means that taxpayers will be paying part of the penalties. He predicts that B.C. will never compete in the LNG industry, given growing international production of conventional and shale gas. But if it does, the province will not achieve reductions in emissions. “This isn’t going to fool anybody,” Weaver said. “It’s attempting to look like the government still has a plan for greenhouse gas reductions.” The emission rules will apply to LNG processing only, not pollution and greenhouse gases from production and processing of natural gas in northeastern B.C.

Driving cars that betrayed their name, three people in two Ford Escapes have been arrested after a pursuit through four municipalities Friday morning. Just after midnight, a Chilliwack man reported his car stolen and witnesses helped RCMP locate it and another Escape in that city. The two stolen cars took off heading down Highway 1, through Abbotsford, Langley and into Surrey. Once the cars began to speed excessively, Mounties broke off chase and allowed police helicopter Air One to continue pursuit. One of the cars drove into a ditch at 156 Street and 64 Avenue. The

single occupant was unharmed and arrested without incident. The 27-year-old South Surrey driver is known to police. The second vehicle continued and was seen pulling into a parking lot in the 7100-block of Hall Road. The male driver and female passenger fled of foot. With the assistance of police dog services, the two were located and arrested. The 34-year-old driver from Langley, and his passenger, a 23-year-old from Delta, are known to police. All three suspects were arrested on multiple charges of possession of stolen property, flight from police, dangerous driving, and breach of conditional sentence order.

With the variety of toothpastes and toothbrushes that are available, choosing one can be overwhelming for some people. There are toothpastes for sensitive teeth, whitening toothpastes, ‘enamel strengthening’ toothpastes and the list goes on. There are soft/medium/ hard bristled toothbrushes, angled, raised bristled toothbrushes, and electric as well. With all that, what is the right choice? The Canadian and American dental associations recommend using fluoride-containing toothpastes. The fluoride helps make your teeth more resistant to forming ‘cavities’. If your teeth are sensitive try using one that addresses this; however, to rule out other reasons for this sensitivity make sure you ask your dentist why your teeth are sensitive. Soft bristled brushes are preferred for a number of reasons. They are gentler on the gums, and on the roots. With improper technique, it is easier to wear away gum tissue and exposed root surfaces if you are using a hard or medium bristled brush versus a soft. So, it is technique you brush with,

not the toothbrush that determines how well you clean your teeth. For people with poor manual dexterity electric brushes may offer a better result than a manual brush. It may be easier and more fun to get your child to brush with an electric brush than a manual. If you are not sure whether you have the ‘proper technique’, next time you are at your dentist ask them to watch you brush and floss your teeth and give you feedback. If you want to evaluate your own brushing/flossing efficiency, there are plaque disclosing dyes/tablets you can purchase that will temporarily stain areas on your teeth you missed while brushing and flossing. Make sure you brush 2-3 times a day for at least 2 minutes per brushing episode. Remember, it is not the force you brush with but the length of time you brush that is important. Speaking of flossing…yes flossing! How many times has your dentist asked you if you floss? The reason we are so concerned is because flossing is as important as brushing, yet most people do not floss regularly. Cavities we see forming between teeth are largely due to inadequate flossing. Toothbrush bristles will not reach between your teeth. By not flossing, you are missing close to half of your tooth structure.

tools to forge new relationships and partnerships, said SCF board chair Shirley Hardman. The growing demographic of the Sto:lo business sector is a part of the “changing face” of aboriginal communities, and how they’re establishing tools for self-sufficiency, she said. “Our people have been doing business for a very long time in Sto:lo territory,” she noted, adding they’re known historically for engaging in good business practices and sustainability. With some businesses already having survived 10 and 20 years, “it shows we are an active part of the communities we live in,” she said. Two little known facts about Sto:lo businesses: 45 per cent of have some form of community or band ownership, and many have a long-standing history of success, Hardman said. One of the reasons why it’s so significant, is because the growth rate of First Nations business is about five times that of the nonaboriginal population, Watson pointed out. SCF launched the branding initiative, Sto:lo Means Business, last April as the cornerstone of its five-year

effort to get the word out about the business match event. Here’s something that portrays the sheer scale of what’s happening. In the time it took SCF staff in Chilliwack to put out a brochure describing the stellar growth on Sto:lo territory, the number of aboriginal-owned businesses actually spiked again, with 50 new ventures being added to the list, for an up-to-date total of 250 businesses with First Nations ownership. Sto:lo territory is known for its inclusiveness on the business front, according to a prominent local owner. “Sto:lo Business Match is about fostering relationships so we can all benefit,” said Louis De Jaeger, SCF board member and owner of Bravo Restaurant.

Sto:lo business match strategy to make Sto:lo territory the provincial hub for aboriginal business growth and excellence. “It’s something the young people are embracing with vigour,” said Watson. Chilliwack is followed by Agassiz and Abbotsford with 20 per cent and 10 per cent of businesses respectively. They range from restaurants, galleries, chiropractors, towing company and more. One of the stars is the Eagle Landing commercial development owned and developed by a Squiala First Nation with investors.

Safer intersections

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The three-vehicle crash that sent one woman to hospital Saturday evening offers a stark reminder of the efficacy of roundabouts. True, not everyone appreciates their design. But they offer a distinct advantage that would have been welcome on Saturday: They lower speeds and reduce the severity of an impact. Saturday’s incident is still under investigation and police have only released limited information. However, witnesses say one vehicle went through the stop sign before plowing into the driver’s side of the woman’s vehicle. These kinds of accidents are exactly what roundabouts are intended to prevent. As vehicles approach, they slow down and yield to vehicles in the traffic circle. If an accident does occur, the speed is slower and the angle is less direct. That results in fewer injuries, or injuries that are less serious. Granted, they are not perfect. They require understanding, etiquette and awareness. They are not intended to be high-speed chicanes. And drivers must remain mindful of others on the road, including pedestrians and cyclists. But as the new roundabouts recently installed on Tyson Road demonstrate, they keep the traffic moving. The four-way stops they replaced were cumbersome and often backed up traffic for blocks. The new roundabouts are far more efficient. And they offer far greater safety – once motorists learn to use them properly. The City of Chilliwack has made pains to keep drivers informed. It has held open houses and offers plenty of information on its website. It’s good information to have, because roundabouts aren’t going away any time soon. Two more are slated for Prest Road, including one at the site of Saturday’s crash. Of course safety is still ultimately the responsibility of the driver. But more thoughtful road and intersection design is making Chilliwack a better place. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

B.C. V IEWS

One last holdup along the railway tracks VICTORIA – “Hands up.” That famous command is attributed to Bill Miner, an American career criminal who is also credited with B.C.’s first train robbery, at Silverdale on the Mission border in 1910. A more genteel, and of course perfectly legal, trackside transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legislature. It’s called the Canadian Pacific Railway (Stone and Timber) Settlement Act, and it provides for taxpayers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic logging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering railway builders. Students of B.C. history will know that while Bill Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lumber and railway barons who really made out like bandits. And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over three early

railways that had been granted vast tracts of provincial Crown land. Deputy Premier Rich Coleman revealed the settlement in the legislature this month. It seems that when CP Rail took over the B.C. Southern Railway Company, the Columbia and Tom Kootenay Railway FLETCHER and Navigation Company and the Columbia and Western Railway Company, there were some clerical errors along the way. “I am pleased that Canadian Pacific Railway and the province have recently reached an agreement regarding the disputed ownership and value of timber and stone rights on 145,000 hectares

of Crown land and 68,000 hectares of private land in the Kootenay and Okanagan regions,” Coleman told the legislature. “The province granted land to three railway companies between 1892 and 1908 to subsidize railway construction. These railway companies reserved timber and stone rights for their own use when they sold the land to third parties in the early 1900s. These reservations were not recognized in many subsequent land transactions, and many of them were not registered in the current land title system.” These discrepancies came to light in the early 2000s. They involve some 1,600 properties, so you can imagine the lawyer fees that would be accumulated to sort through those in court. And Coleman’s statement suggests that the government has conceded its records are in error,

rather than those of the railways. Given the Wild West ways of B.C.’s early settlement and railway development, it’s not surprising there were some loose ends. For a fascinating look at this period, I recommend Barrie Sanford’s book Steel Rails and Iron Men (Whitecap Books, 1990). Sanford recounts the fateful decision of the CPR to turn north at Medicine Hat and push Canada’s defining railway through the Kicking Horse Pass, leaving the mineral-rich Kootenay region open to competitors for rail freight service. A key figure of those days is James Dunsmuir, who inherited his family coal fortune and served as B.C. premier from 1900 to 1902. He ended up owning a large part of Vancouver Island in exchange for building the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, which he sold to the CPR in 1905, the same year

he locked out miners in his coal operations for their push to organize a union. Dunsmuir’s hard line provided a boost for a rival, James Jerome Hill, who built the Great Northern Railway in the 1890s and later quit the CPR board in a bitter feud. Hill was happy to supply coal from Fernie. Dunsmuir took a turn as B.C.’s eighth Lieutenant Governor, sold his coal business and retired to his estate, Hatley Castle, which is now part of Royal Roads University. He is buried at Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemeter y. As Halloween approaches, it’s easy to imagine a chuckle from his grave as the railway barons once again rake it in.

Public education under attack 80% of District Budgets goes to salaries, leaving only 20% for everything else. So the only real option available to school boards it to cut staff. This is why we now have crowded classrooms, less support for students with special needs, less learning assistance, fewer teacher librarians, fewer specialist teachers and challenges to teaching and learning. Currently BC sits at the bottom in terms of funding for our schools. Only PEI is lower. Our school districts get $1000 less per student than all other provinces except PEI. We must work together with our new school boards after the upcoming election to change this serious inequity. If our schools fail we can anticipate some or all of the following: 1. Further amalgamation of school districts similar to our Health Regions. Each of these seven super districts administered by an appointed board of directors and a CEO. No more local school boards or local autonomy. 2. Charter schools with a revised curriculum with a shift in focus from academics to job training. 3. Government issued vouchers, similar to the $41 a day, for parents to use to help defray tuition fees at private schools where small classes and an academic focus would look attractive. 4. Contracting out clerical and custodial services in

these charter schools. Charter schools typically function independently, run by a school council and a management team. 5. Enhanced online schooling and use of technology to reduce the number of teachers needed. 6. Implementation of an industrial model where schools are in competition with each other, measured by standardized test results. The Fraser Institute was founded in large part to encourage this. NOTES: This government has sent delegations to New Orleans to take a look at their charter schools. New Orleans no longer has any traditional public schools. This followed Katrina. A delegation was also sent to Wisconsin to see how they managed to bust their teacher’s union. These are my views based on research and reading while watching what has been happening to our school system under Christy’s watch. I am sharing them, knowing that speculation on my part is woven throughout this piece. However after spending forty years as an educator in the public school system, I feel my experience has some value.

The end of the recent strike was in no way the end of problems for our BC public schools. The core issues remain. First and foremost the chronic underfunding continues. Since 2002 our public schools have suffered a relentless attempt by our current government to have them fail. Why? The answer is simple and complex at the same time. If our school system fails, the door opens for govt to step in and initiate massive restructuring and privatization using the excuse that the system is broken and must be fixed. In spite of this ongoing attack, our BC system remains in the top ten in the world thanks to dedicated innovative teachers and the fund raising efforts of parents. Forcing a teacher strike was part of this government’s strategy to gain public support for their desired changes. Unfortunately for them this public support didn’t materialize. In fact it gathered behind teachers. When protests started coming from the Chinese community the government realized that they had to settle. Since 2002 private schools have enjoyed approximately 46% increase in funding while public schools have received less than 16%. The portion of the Provincial Budget dedicated to education has continued to get smaller and smaller while costs have continued to rise. All these increases have been off loaded to existing school district budgets. Approximately

Fish and pipelines don’t mix It is with great interest I read of the recent NEB hearings held in Chilliwack between aboriginals and Kinder Morgan around the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. It is telling that one of two questions posed to aboriginals by Kinder Morgan asked what proportion of the

Kwantlen bands diet came from the Fraser River. So, it seems that Kinder Morgan is finally admitting that a spill on the Fraser would devastate salmon stocks. Perhaps we should expand the question to ask how much of our fishing industries catch comes from the Fraser. How much

non aboriginals eat salmon originating in the Fraser. How much fishing supply stores income would be affected if the Fraser River salmon fisher y disappeared. How many fishermen would be impacted if they couldn’t fish on the Fraser. The number of people that would be out of work if the salm-

on fishery was gone is staggering. Is this the same company endlessly claiming to care about the environment? This one question makes it clear to me that Kinder Morgan considers the potential loss of the Fraser River salmon to be inconsequential. Sandra Forbes Chilliwack BC

MLAs shake fingers in quake exercise Tom Fletcher Black Press As students and office workers practised earthquake evacuation procedures last Thursday, politicians ducked, covered and shook their fingers about B.C.’s long-running earthquake safety project for public schools. NDP leader John Horgan and education critic Rob Fleming visited Killarney Secondary in

Vancouver, one of the high-risk schools the government identified for upgrading in a pre-election announcement in April 2013. They said more than a year later, only three out of 10 projects are underway. “Clearly, this was just another photo-op announcement from the premier with no follow-through,” Fleming said. Education Minister Peter Fassbender issued a statement

touting the province as a leading jurisdiction in earthquake preparedness, with $2.2 billion spent or committed since 2001 to upgrade 213 high-risk schools. In August 2014, the ministry said it has been trying for two years to establish a project office with the Vancouver school district to manage the 69 schools in the city identified as having high earthquake risk.

JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Romancing the flute and harp with the CMO Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Imagine a concert that delves into the agony and the ecstasy of the human condition. Two pieces of classical music by Mozart and Beethoven are in the spotlight at the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra concert on Nov. 1 in the Hub International Theatre of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. “I love Beethoven,” says CMO artistic director Gregory Douglas Johnson about the iconic composer. “He connects with people on a human level.” Johnson selected Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A Major as a way of celebrating the CMO’s seventh season.

“It’s a rhythmic tour de force,” says Johnson about the 7th Symphony. “It’s all in the movements, there is a repetitive rhythm, but what he does with it is magical.” The concert premiere was in 1813 and was considered one of Beethoven’s most successful concerts. It was immediately recognized as both artistically remarkable and hugely popular. Part of the “agony” part of the description comes from the fact that Beethoven never got to hear this symphony as he was going deaf when he wrote it. But he came to grips with it ultimately, to triumph on the other side, writing brilliant music. “He found peace and it’s in the whirlwind joy in the last move-

ment.” This piece is special to Johnson, and he remembers rehearsing and conducting a performance of the symphony with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra while studying for his master’s degree. “He starts with a simple ascending scale but how he layers it and structures it gives you an amazing sense of time and space.” Tchaikovsky spoke of the finale as pure, unrestrained bliss, that captures the pleasure of living. Whereas the first movement is dark and foreboding, the second is described as “perhaps the most beautiful piece of music ever written” and is often per-

formed on its own. In fact the second movement is often said to be Beethoven’s most popular composition. This will be Johnson’s second concert with the CMO, after coming on-board with the CMO last season. He’s a school music teacher and conductor who grew up in Langley, as well as a coach and a flute player. The ecstasy will be represented by the Mozart Concerto for Flute and Harp. The opening Overture of the evening, The Abduction from the Seraglio, is taken from the opera of the same name by Mozart. The exotic setting of Turkey was very popular at the time of writing and the music, full of percussion and exuberance,

has a Turkish flavour. The opera recounts the tale of the abduction of a Sultan’s wife from the palace Seraglio or Harem. Where Beethoven paints the agony symphonically after the intermission, Mozart is bright and echoes the ecstasy. “It’s gorgeous,” Johnson says about Mozart in the first half of the concert, and in the opening overture. “He’s intimate but he’s also outgoing and playful.” Both the Mozart Concerto for Flute and Harp K 299 and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A Major will be performed as a special celebration for the opening concert of the CMO’s seventh season.

CMO brings classical romance CMO from page 13 The Mozart Flute and Harp concerto was written in 1778 as a salon piece suited to highlight the delicate nature of both of the solo instruments, flute and harp. Curiously Mozart did not particularly like the flute and found it a burden. CMO Principal Flute and concert soloist Sarah Dyck finds it “amazing that he would compose a concerto so full of wonderful phrasing, harmony and interplay between the flute and the

harp for an instrument he really did not care for.” The harp, as an orchestral instrument, was still early in its development and it is consider to be a rather unusual combination of instruments for the time. Guest harpist Kaori Otake, describes the concerto as a “fun concerto to perform with a full orchestra and that it is an easy composition for an audience new to classical music to appreciate.” For Otake, this will be a farewell concert as this graduate of the Curtis Institute,

Indiana University and the Julliard School of Music will soon be returning to her native Japan to live and get married. Both Dyck and Otake have performed the concerto but this will be the first time that they have performed together and are looking forward to the concert. Both Dyck and Otake are Chilliwack music teachers. Dyck is teaching from her music studio in her home and Otake is a teaching member of the Chilliwack Academy of Music. Dyck, a BA graduate from University of Victoria

School of Music, has been performing with the CMO in first desk since the orchestra was founded seven years ago. She has performed more than one solo with the CMO including a full Concerto. She is seen and heard playing in many different local groups as she gives freely of her training and talent because of her love of music.

The homeowner purchased the home with the intention of renovating it, and called in Novell Design Build to realize his dreams. Among the renovations was removing the roof and adding head room, along with two bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry room and storage on the top floor.

Kitsilano home gets a facelift from Novell Design Build A home from 1928 is renovated from top to bottom to fit the needs of a homeowner with plans to have a family and bring the old home up to date. By Kerry Vital Old World style and thoughtful details combine in a seriously gorgeous home in Kitsilano, completely renovated by Novell Design Build. “We are so excited about this house,” says Laurel James, director and principal designer at Novell Design Build. “It truly was crafted; there’s something in every room and it really suits the homeowner. Everywhere you look there’s a surprise.” The owner purchased the home, originally built in 1928, with the intention to renovate it. “Multiple renovations over the years compromised the original character of the home,” James says. “The entire house has been re-planned and the roof lifted to accommodate a growing family.” Lifting the roof changed the top floor attic from a space with no head room to a full upper level with room for sleeping and relaxing. “We had a strict limit to the amount of square footage we could add to the house, yet we desperately wanted to create a usable upper level,” James says. “We exceeded the code require-

ments for thermal ratings on the exterior walls in the lower level, earning a space credit that we dispersed upstairs, along with lifting our mechanical room up into the attic crawl space where it was excluded from our square footage, and maximizing space exemptions for storage and head room clearance on the stairs. All of this allowed us to scrape together enough room for two bedrooms, one with a seating area and desk, a bathroom, laundry and storage upstairs.” Other highlights include 12-foot ceilings in the kitchen, designer lighting pieces and a custom cast fireplace in the den. “The powder room is articulated with a dramatic display of calacutta (marble) hex tiles, offset with an antique vanity, restored lighting fixtures and un-lacquered brass fittings throughout,” says James. “It’s really dramatic.” The renovations incorporate the homeowner’s art and antique collection, which was an important feature for him. “An Old World feel, eclectic mix of classic styles and thoughtful detailing bring character and lift back to this early century home,” James says. Another stunning feature of the home is the capability for indoor and outdoor living. “A massive folding operable wall as wide as the kitchen facilitates a true connection to the outdoors,” James says. This allows the homeowner to live and dine inside or outside. One of the little surprises that James is so excited about is the drawers beneath the stairs that

Crafting and sculpting an old home into something fit for a growing family “ from page.15 allow for more storage and add some interest. “The closets in the bedroom were really inspired,” James says. “We were able to turn his thoughts into reality with unique closets with French doors on the front. It’s really the right feel for the home, and creates visual interest with Hampton-esque closet built-ins.” As with the square footage considerations, renovating this older home was not without its challenges. “Bringing the structure and energy performance of a 1928 house up to, and beyond, current codes was a challenge,” says James. “We managed to do it with thoughtful restructuring strategies that both allowed us to keep the original foundations and facilitate an open floor plan – along with using new technologies in spray foam insulation and air tightness. To do this, we had to carefully manage the budget together with the owner to allow for these upgrades to the infrastructure; what you don’t see behind the walls.” The renovations took just under a year, but the homeowner is extremely happy with the finished product. “He is so thrilled with the home and how it turned out,” James says. “Any renovation of this scope is a big risk; you have to trust the people you work with. He’s thankful he took those risks.” For more information about Novell Design Build and their projects, visit www.novelldesignbuild.com or call 604-876-0339 for an appointment at their office at 3031177 West Broadway in Vancouver.

Controlling the chaos of home technology Organizing all your media technology prevents clutter and ensures everything works as it’s supposed to. By Kerry Vital No one likes a cluttered home. That’s particularly true when it comes to technology. “It’s no longer necessary to have a stack of components beside your TV,” says Lee Rente of Encore Security and Automation, citing examples of components as DVD players, gaming systems, media servers such as an AppleTV, or a digital cable box. “A racking system will allow you to keep everything organized in one space and allow you to access multiple sources from each TV in your home.” In order to facilitate this, it is recommended to include some degree of home automation, as it will streamline the process and ensure everything works as it should. “A home automation system will be able to tell when something is doing what it’s supposed to do, while a plain remote that you get with your TV won’t have that functionality,” Rente says. “With the advent of streaming media, most people will never have to access their components.” However, he recommends using a racking system that will give you access to the back of said system if necessary, to ease in troubleshooting. Most racking systems are modular and include shelving to place your DVD players and other assorted components, as well as built-in wire management to keep every

cord neat and secure. Many racks will also have built-in fans to keep the components cool, which will ensure a longer lifespan for your technology, and surge protectors to prevent damage from power surges. “You can also get accessories such as glass doors to make it fit in better with your existing decor, instead of only purely functional,” says Rente. Media racks can be placed nearly anywhere. “Don’t be afraid to relocate your systems to nearby closets to achieve that clean look of just having a TV on the wall,” Rente says. Another option is in a media room itself through built-in cabinetry. One advantage of centralizing your technology is that a single rack can be used for multiple rooms and multiple televisions. “You can purchase a device that will split a single DVD player or media server across a number of televisions,” says Rente. “This will allow you to access multiple sources from each television, and the ability to access the same source from multiple TVs. So, you can watch the same television show on two different TVs, for example.” This type of system works well for man caves or recreation rooms that have multiple televisions, as they allow you to play the big game across all of the TVs, or have different sports playing at the same time on multiple screens.

Keeping all of your media components in one place is not only convenient, but also better aesthetically as you will no longer have to pile your DVD player, media server and cable box underneath your television. Encore Security and Automation photo

Hitting the floor with cool and sleek tiles format tiles such as 12’ by 24’ and even larger are a popular choice, while smaller sizes are going out of style. Other out-of-fashion styles include tiles inlaid with a design and glass mosaics. Popular flooring differs depending on the room it’s being installed in. For example, clean lines and neutral colours are most popular in the master ensuite, to give the homeowner a spa-like feeling. “You want to enjoy the setting,” Aggarwal says. “You’re going for a clean design; this is not the place you want to feel cozy. Whiteon-white-on-white works well in a modern design.” In the kitchen, natural stones are still in. “Marble, travertine and porcelain are still very much in style,” says Aggarwal. “For example, you could put marble on the floor with very modern cabinets.”

By Kerry Vital Flooring is an integral part of any renovation. It’s often one of the first things people consider when looking to renovate, and it can tie the entire room together into one cohesive space. “The most important thing to consider when installing a new floor is that you don’t want it to look renovated,” says Sanj Aggarwal of Mainland Tile. “Sometimes it can look a little out of place. For example, an ultra-modern style in a traditional home. You want there to be a nice flow between rooms.” West Coast is a popular style in many aspects of home decor, and this translates to flooring as well. “The West Coast is a lot different than other areas,” Aggarwal says. “What works somewhere else won’t always work here. Earth tones with grey walls seems to work well in Vancouver.” He cites a recent example of a home in South Surrey that includes marble tile on the main floor in a modern design. “There are a lot of clean lines and crisp colours,” he says. Another example that works well on the West Coast is a return to nature and more subdued shades. Ornate traditional styles are more popular outside of the Lower Mainland. Larger

A window to the world Choosing what will cover your windows goes beyond picking whether you want to use curtains, blinds or shades. What a homeowner chooses to decorate their home with says a lot about them, and what they choose to surround or cover their windows with can tell a story. When it comes to choosing new window fashions, your creativity can really run wild. “Bright new colours and bold patterns can be found throughout the product selections, which are fantastic in sun rooms and children’s rooms,” says Melissa Raine, marketing manager at Hunter Douglas. “Fabrics are more beautiful than ever,” says Terry Jorgensen of WindowWorks. “New technology advances in weaving are providing amazing weaves and colours.” “Environmentally progressive products are becoming more popular,” Raine says. Examples of these include Hunter Douglas’ GREENGUARD certified products, which meet the stringent indoor air quality guidelines laid out by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute. Among those products are Hunter Douglas’ Pirouette Window Shadings, which feature soft adjustable horizontal fabric vanes that are attached to a

sheer backing. When opened, the top and bottom of the vanes shift closer together, allowing a perfect outside view. When closed, they resemble classic Roman shades and offer privacy and light blockage. “Popular window coverings today are blinds and shades,” says Linda Richardson, owner of West Side Window Coverings & Design. “Roller shades seem to be taking the lead; they’re simple, flat and offer a variety of opacity levels depending on what the client requires. Also, with the minimalist look of interiors, this type of window shade complements (such) interiors without demanding to be noticed.” Like with most home decor items, what fits your home as well as your own personal style will vary. “Greater Vancouver homes vary greatly in architecture,” says Jorgensen. “We have the very distinct West Coast Modern design with large windows, and the traditional Old World homes with many smaller lintel pane windows. In the modern homes we see sunscreen roller shades as being very popular.”

Sunscreen roller shades filter out the sun and its UV rays while still allowing a view to the outdoors. “We are also seeing a lot of multi-purpose shadings that with a slight movement of the control, can change from a sun filter shade to a complete privacy shade,” Jorgensen says. In a more traditional home, Jorgensen notes a trend towards fabric draperies instead of shades and blinds. “Linen or linen textures are this designer’s favourite,” says Jorgensen. “We are seeing the return of prints, especially large florals and embroidered designs.” When it comes to colour, Jorgensen has seen greys and taupes remaining as the most popular colours, but they’re being joined by something more vibrant. “Blues and teals (are) a strong colour trend,” he says. “For the more daring interiors, oranges and reds are welcomed.” “Motorization is really big now,” says Richardson. “The convenience of being able to operate your whole home with home automation has really changed the window covering industry.” She is also seeing an increase in bold colours and patterns. “Neutrals are always big but we have also seen a demand for large geometrics in neutrals and bold colours like fuchsia and purple,” Richardson says. “New this year are what we call ‘painterly patterns.’ They are patterns with lots of colours but the way in which the patterns are dyed on the cloth, it looks like someone has done a watercolour painting. They are very pretty and soft.” Window fashions are not a one-size-fits-all proposition. “There are many things to consider before purchasing a quality Hunter Douglas product,” says Raine. “What is your decorating style? Modern, formal, traditional? Is privacy and lighting control a main concern?” She notes that homeowners should consider what material would work best in their room, as it will make a difference in the amount of light entering the space. “Do you want a shade that rises fully for the view, or a sheer that gives view through with UV protection?” she asks. “How do you want to operate your shade? And are there children and pets in the home? There are many options from cordless to motorization.” “Window coverings are a very important purchase when decorating your home,” says Jorgensen. “Studies by architects and interior designers have shown that window coverings have more impact on a home than any other item.” One thing to always keep in mind when choosing window decor is the budget. “It is important to include window coverings in your budget, whether you are building or renovating,” says Jorgensen. “Many people do not realize the cost of quality window fashions and without getting an idea of the price early on, are unprepared to afford the window coverings they need to fulfill their requirements.”

Paint-free ways to brighten your home Autumn is a beautiful time of year marked by colourful fall foliage. But as vibrant as nature can be in the weeks after summer has ended, homeowners know that the shortened days of autumn mean less light inside their homes, which can become dreary even in the weeks before the arrival of winter. Many homeowners pick up their paintbrushes in an effort to make their homes more colourful. But homeowners need not embrace their inner Picasso to brighten their homesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interiors. The following are a handful of paint-free ways to add some splashes of colour to your home this fall.

Bring Nature Inside Flowers and plants can make colourful additions to a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior. Flowers tend to be aromatic, which can make a stuffy house in which windows need to be kept closed a lot more pleasant. Plants and flowers also can improve indoor air quality by filtering out volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially important come late fall and winter, when homeowners typically shut their windows and keep them shut until spring, making it difficult for fresh air to enter a home.

Invest In Some Colourful Throw Pillows Natural sunlight brightens a room come spring and summer. But sunlight is increasingly scarce as fall turns into winter, and rooms that do not boast too many colourful accents can quickly grow drab as summertime sunlight dwindles. Instead of buying new furniture, invest in some colourful throw pillows or accent blankets to give a room a more vibrant look. Patterns can be mixed and matched to provide some contrast and transform a room from somewhere to spend time into a sight to behold.

Paper The Walls While many of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeowners prefer paint to wallpaper, those who want a less permanent solution to brighten up their homes may want to consider removable wallpaper. Such paper is less expensive than traditional wallpaper, and many do-it-yourselfers find removable wallpaper is easy to both install and remove. Choose a colourful pattern that can turn an otherwise plain wall into a potent palette that adds some life to your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior. Because removable wallpaper does not require a significant financial investment, you can experiment with various colours or change things up each month if you so desire.

Rug It Out A patterned throw rug is another accessory that can effectively brighten a room without much effort or financial investment on the part of homeowners. When choosing a throw rug, find one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colourful but does not clash considerably with existing furnishings, as you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the rug to draw attention for all the wrong reasons. You have more freedom with regard to rugs if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re furnishing an empty room, as you can choose whichever rug you look and then choose additional furnishings based on the rug.

Add Some Artwork Another way to add colour to the walls inside your home without dusting off your paintbrush is to hang some colourful artwork. Paintings that feature bold colours tend to draw your immediate attention when you enter a room, and that quality can make you forget the room is not benefitting from natural light. If you want to go the extra mile, find a painting that features colours which match throw pillows or other accessories in the room. This way your walls and your accessories are working in concert to make a room more colourful.

Countertops For Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission & Agassiz

Paving the way with rubber paving at home ing red, beige, black, brown and grey to match your existing exterior decor and personal tastes. “Rubber paving will work in almost any situation,” says Lavigne. “We’ll start with an initial quote and assessment, and go from there.” It’s a relatively affordable option as well, Lavigne points out, and takes about 24 hours to cure after installation, much shorter than other types of paving that can take several days.

When most think about rubber paving, they remember track meets and playgrounds. However, rubber paving can also be a cost-effective option for homeowners looking to replace their driveways. “Rubber paving is made of 100 per cent recycled material, so it’s very eco-friendly,” says Brad Lavigne of Eco Paving. Made of recycled tire granules, rubber paving can be used on patios, outdoor walkways and pool decks as well as driveways. “Rubber paving is quite flexible, so it’s virtually crack-proof after installation,” Lavigne says. Another benefit is that it will last for decades with proper maintenance. “Every five years we recommend a special sealant to maintain the paving, but that’s about it,” says Lavigne. Rubber paving can be installed over top of what the homeowner already has in place, including asphalt, brick, concrete or gravel, removing the need to take out the existing driveway or paving before installation. It’s also easy to repair if something happens, as the rubber paving can be patched. “It will move with any ground movement,” Lavigne says. “It also won’t go green with algae like concrete does around a pool.” Rubber paving is a non-slip surface, so it works well in our wet climate. Ice will not build up on it, making it less slippery for the rare time it snows in the Lower Mainland. Rubber paving is an eco-friendly choice for homeowners, as it’s Homeowners are also not limited to made out of recycled material and can be installed over the existing basic grey or black, as you would be with pavement. asphalt or concrete.

For style expert Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick To Know, style is about more than homes or clothing. In fact, it’s a combination of both for the designer who started off working purely in fashion. “I kind of organically ended up doing this,” Scott says. “I have a Bachelor of Design (degree) from Ryerson University in Toronto, and worked in fashion as a stylist. I found that many of the principles of design transfer over to interiors, and started doing a lot more of that kind of design work.” In 2011, her design won second place in the BC’s Best Young Designer competition. Scott started A Good Chick To Know four years ago, and continues to assist clients with many aspects of their lives. She offers interior design services as well as wardrobe styling, and notes that the principle of “something old, something new” works well for both facets of the design industry. As for where the name came from, Scott laughs and says that she has always had the name in the back of her head. “I thought of the name years ago but didn’t want to use it until I found the perfect business. This business is perfect for the name!” she says. As fall and winter begins, many people look at updating their homes and their wardrobe; Scott has a few tips. “Most people think of changing colours when it comes to fall, but I think you need to look at what’s been popular this year,” she says. “Nice neutral whites and off-whites have been in style along with nudes, and I think this will stay through the winter.” Instead, she urges people to look at different textures. “My home is white, so instead of doing white sheer curtains, I’m doing white velvet for example,” Scott says. “Bring back the textiles!” Cozy blankets and other textiles are all great for the colder months. “You want the look to be soft and cuddly,” she says. When it comes to fashion, Scott tells people to look for interesting patterns. “There’s not one big ‘it’ colour, so a tone-on-tone pattern will add a lot of interest,” she says. “I’m also really loving Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick To Know is enjoying the return to all the metals. Yellow gold, rose gold, neutral whites and off-whites in her own home, and urges people to white gold. There’s been a real return to consider different textiles and textures. traditional glamour, which is nice.” A Good Chick To Know photos

“We rock your world”

Decorating for small spaces

or The bitterness of po ng quality, remains lo of after, the sweetness en. low prices is forgott

Living in the Lower Mainland means living in the one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It also means living in one with plenty of options for housing types, from large single-family residences to small condominiums. Decorating a large space has its challenges, but decorating a small space can sometimes be even more complicated. Designing for smaller spaces starts with some multi-tasking. “Good design enhances how the occupants really live,” says Laura Anderson of Resource Furniture. “Multi-functional pieces that transform can make one space do the work of two, or three, or four.” Among the options are tables, beds, storage solutions and desks, just to name a few. One of the biggest challenges involved in living in a small space is keeping on top of clutter. “Editing possessions is a critical first step,” says Anderson. “Dedicating enough closed storage for the items you can’t do without is next.” While it might be tempting to go for an inexpen-

sive option, Anderson warns against that. “Look for quality,” Anderson says. “There is nothing environmentally friendly about purchasing an item that must be thrown away and replaced.” Moving beyond furniture, there are simple decor tricks that can make your home feel larger. Everyone has heard of the adage that black makes something look smaller while white makes something look larger. While this is often true, it’s not a hard-andfast rule. In fact, dark colours can make your home feel cozy and inviting, which can be more important than making a room feel larger. Allowing plenty of natural light into your space will be beneficial when making your home feel larger. Matching your draperies to the walls will avoid contrast, which will keep the walls looking seamless. Above all, it is important to make your home feel like your own, and that will start with keeping it as clutter-free as possible. Stacks of possessions will just make your home look smaller, whether you’re living in a penthouse or a studio. “Less is more, no matter what size the home!” Anderson says.

Anastasiia Korchagina: Thriving in her new home The Ukraine has been gripped by unrest for almost a year now. This is heartbreaking for Anastasiia Korchagina for the Ukraine is her homeland and the region at the center of the conflict is where her family still lives. Anastasiia was born in a small, heavily industrial town in Eastern Ukraine. When she was just 11 months old, her parents divorced and her father walked out of her life forever. “The only man in our family was my grandfather who worked to build the basis of my character and my education and I will admit that his efforts were not in vain,” she said. She was a highly intelligent little girl who could easily read newspapers by the age of two as well as having the ability to recite long verses by heart. “He passed away on my fourth birthday but I still remember the feeling of being safe; sitting on his knee while he told me fairytales in his deep, soft voice,” she reflected.

She was quickly promoted to the position of project manager and thoroughly enjoyed communicating with the company’s top clients to identify opportunities for events. “My favourite part of the job was the event coordination and the direct interaction with the participants,” she said. Seeing the need to push forward, Anastasiia determined that she lacked experience and education in event management and thus, she resolved to leave her country to pursue her studies in hospitality and special events at the University of the Fraser Valley. “Not only did my management support me but I also had the support and encouragement of my loving husband.” Although he was enjoying success at EPAM Systems; a software, engineering and IT consulting services company in the Ukraine, he left his work to support Anastasiia in her initiative. “It did take time to adjust to life in Chilliwack, but it has been a wonderful place in which to further my studies,” she concluded.

Small Business Dialogue

SMALL BUSINESS WEEK OCT 19-25

Energy efﬁciency. Good for smaller footprints. And your bottom line. Don’t let your operating costs leave you in the cold this winter. As a small business, you probably want to focus on making money. FortisBC can help reduce your operating costs with no-cost and low-cost energy saving tips to help lower your monthly natural gas bill and reduce your environmental footprint. If you’re in the position to upgrade space and water heating systems or commercial cooking equipment, FortisBC also offers rebates on highefﬁciency models.

Small actions can add up to savings Think about cutting costs where you won’t notice it. If your business uses natural gas for heating or cooking, here are some easy tips from FortisBC to help you save energy and money. Save hot water ■ Fix leaky taps and install watersaving aerators on kitchen and bathroom faucets. ■ If running a commercial kitchen consider installing a low-ﬂow spray valve to pre-rinse dishes. These devices use approximately 50 per cent less water than standard types. ■ If you can access your hot water pipes, wrap them with foam or rubber pipe insulation to prevent heat loss.

Save heat ■ Install a programmable thermostat and program it to 20 °C when at work and no more than 17 °C when no one is there. ■ Your space could stay warm for up to an hour before the heating system needs to kick in again, so why not program your thermostat to turn down the heat an hour before you close shop. ■ If you operate a street front business, don’t leave the door open on cold days as it’ll push all your heated air out the door.

Upgrading can save you two ways When it’s time to upgrade, check out FortisBC’s rebates for highefﬁciency boilers, water heaters and cooking equipment. In addition to the rebate, you’ll experience ongoing savings on your natural gas bill with more efﬁcient appliances installed. If you’re not sure what upgrade is right for your business, consider a free consultation from a business energy advisor. It’s all part of how FortisBC is helping businesses save energy and money.

Pitfalls to avoid before your new home purchase is finalized! The seller has accepted your offer, the contract is in your hand and you have marked the completion date on your calendar. You have submitted all the documentation the lenders asked for, and everything looks fine to the real estate professionals who are guiding the transaction. However, there are mistakes you might unwittingly make prior to your completion date that could potentially delay the transaction. Until your house purchase has officially been finalized, it is important to follow certain guidelines that will ensure smooth sailing. Since you are in the process of waiting for loan dispersal, any large financial purchase you make during the completion period could have a negative backlash. Even if your credit is impeccable, an expensive purchase could wave a red flag to the lender. Why? Because by increasing your debt-to-income ratio, you decrease the amount of liquid assets you have available to honor your financial commitments. The lender may look at any large purchase you just made, and decide that you are in over your head. Even if you have paid for the purchase in cash, you still take the risk of weakening your position in the eyes of the lender. Financial institutions take your savings into account as well as all credit purchases when reviewing your loan, and may look unfavorably on any drastic changes. Similarly, any kind of employment change is an automatic red flag, a sign of potential instability on the part of the buyer. Financial institutions are more comfortable loaning you money if you have remained with the same company for at least two years. Exceptions

are when the new opportunity comes with a much higher salary, or when it represents a promotion with added pay at your existing company. Lenders relish stability and may become nervous if you make sudden career moves during your completion period. As your completion date nears, make sure you are fully prepared to pay for closing costs that include home insurance, legal fees, property transfer tax, and other possible adjustments. These charges vary, but they can represent a considerable amount of money. Ask your REALTOR® or lender to keep you well informed regarding the final closing costs. Finally, don’t wait until completion day to work out last-minute problems that come up. Try to address all your concerns during the last week of completion. There may be a few unresolved issues, such as repairs that are not completed, a disappearing dining room chandelier or an occupancy agreement. If you anticipate a problem, be sure to communicate the situation to your REALTOR® in advance, so that minor upsets will not threaten the transaction. So when the time comes, you can be free to simply sign papers, trade keys, and enjoy your new home.

Klassen’s career started in Sardis And there you’d have it.

The Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame will hold its second annual induction night Oct. 25 at Prospera Centre. During the first period intermission of a BCHL game between the Chilliwack Chiefs and Alberni Valley Bulldogs, worthy recipients will be honoured with an on-ice ceremony. Today, a look at one of the inductees, former Sardis secondary school football star Rick Klassen. If you didn’t know Rick Klassen’s history before meeting him, you could make a very reasoned guess based on the first five minutes. First, the handshake, a crushing embrace of hands that you need to be ready for. Then, the air of intensity that surrounds Klassen wherever he goes and whenever he speaks. Sitting in a chair across the table, he gives the impression that everything he’s saying is hugely important and you’d better be listening. If you didn’t know who he was, you’d guess the 55 year old was a former military man, probably special ops. If not that, then a retired athlete of some sort.

Klassen, if you didn’t know, was a former professional pigskin player in the Canadian Football League. From 1981 to 1990 he terrorized offensive linemen and opposing quarterbacks with the BC Lions (mostly) and the Saskatchewan Roughriders (one year). Before that he was a member of the university powerhouse Simon Fraser Clansmen. Before that, he was a Sardis kid learning the game on local fields. “I think I was 11 or 12 years old when I first started playing in a community league organized by people who were involved with the Chilliwack (secondar y school) Frontiersmen,” Klassen recalled. “The first team I ever suited up for was the Sardis Smugglers, and I remember it like it was yesterday.” Klassen was the middle linebacker on defence and quarterback on offence his first year, and he had a blast. “I loved it because it was in the rules of the sport to knock people down,” he grinned. “What I remember most was the purity of the game. It was all about fun.” Klassen came from an athletic background. Dad George was a very good baseball player and a high school basketball star. Mom Anna played baseball and danced. They were young parents when Rick was born (19 and 16 respectively), but wise enough to recognize the importance of sports in a young man’s life. “They gave me an

Former BC Lion Rick Klassen (seen here on a 1985 Jogo card) got his football start locally, playing community and then high school football at Sardis secondary school.

opportunity to play any sport I wanted, and back then you could play four or five different sports,” Klassen said. “Nowadays they want so much commitment from one sport. Back then I remember days in high school where I played four sports in one day.” Klassen got his work ethic from George, who came to Canada from Germany and built a life through hard work. At

75 year sold, George still puts in hours at his family-owned shake and shingle mill in Maple Ridge. “He’s up at six every morning and off to the office,” Klassen said. George and Anna used sports to keep their son on the right academic path. If he didn’t get grades he didn’t play. “It was my passion for sports that enabled me to get an honoura-

Some choices are hard.

ry degree in business administration from SFU,” he said. “And that’s been super useful in my life.” Klassen moved away from Chilliwack after graduating from high school, leaving behind a small town that today’s younger Chilliwackians would be hard-pressed to imagine. “You had the Chilliwack side and the Sardis side, which is all blended together

now, but they were quite separate,” he said. “I remember I was 15 when Cottonwood Mall was built and it was a big thing when we got a McDonalds.” Klassen’s high school head coach was John Tymoschuk. “He was my coach from Grade 8-12, and he’s very much like a second father to me,” Klassen said. “Him and his wife, they were both teachers and they didn’t have any children of their own. So all of John’s players were like his surrogate sons, and we have a real neat relationship even to this day.” On of Klassen’s best friends in high school was George Chayka, who’s now the vicepresident of business for the CFL’s Lions. Chayka was the best man at Klassen’s wedding. The Lions were Klassen’s dream as a teenager. “Back then, the Lions were like Hollywood, and to go to one of their games was a huge deal,” he said. “It was a really long drive, and in high school a bunch of us would make a road trip of it.” Klassen moved to Vancouver in 1977 when he started going to SFU. When he joined the Lions to start the 1981 season, the dream came true. “Not many athletes get the opportunity to play in their hometown,” he said. “ Klassen entered the league as an offensive linemen, but about halfway through his rookie season, Lions head coach Vic Rapp switched him to the

defensive line. Angry and disappointed at first, Klassen got his chance to shine during a game in Ottawa, and from that point on became one of the best defensive linemen in franchise history. “I didn’t really know what I was doing, but I was doing it in such an intense way that I pretty much didn’t leave the field much after that,” he said. “I made some plays, created some havoc and caused a fumble and I was never going back to the offensive line.” Klassen was named to the Lions 50th Anniversar y Dream Team in 2004. Klassen helped the Lions to the 1983 Grey Cup game. They lost 18-17 at BC Place to the Toronto Argonauts, with Klassen earning Canadian MVP honours. He got a brand new car, and the Grey Cup was handed to his good friend, Argonaut Dan Ferrone. “I asked him to trade the car for the Cup later, and you know what he said, right?” Klassen laughed. Two years later, Klassen and company won the Grey Cup, topping the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 37-24 at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium. The 1985 win snapped a 21 year championship drought for the Lions. “It was a little surreal, a magical day that I’ll never forget,” Klassen said. “I was just a kid from Sardis who grew up watching the Lions. And I had a role in helping put the team back on the map. I’m very proud of that.”

Some are easy.

Rain hampers title defence for Cascade golfers The University of the Fraser Valley golf teams had dreams of making a comeback on the final day of the PING CCAA Golf National Championships, but Mother Nature had other plans. The third and final round of the tournament was cancelled due

to inclement weather at Club de Golf Lorette in Quebec City, meaning that the standings after Thursday’s Round 2 would stand as the official results. That put both Cascades teams on the podium, with the women winning silver and the men taking

bronze. It’s the second straight year that both UFV golf squads have medalled at nationals – in 2013, they swept the gold medals. “It’s really disappointing not to have the opportunity to go out and play, given how close we were to winning,” Cascades head coach Chris Bertram said. “We’ve all been in

a bit of shock.” Jen Woods led the way for the Cascades women – she finished sixth in the individual standings at +14 after carding rounds of 79 and 81. Kelley Dalzell (80-83) was right behind her in seventh place at +17, while Natasha Mackenzie (93-83) was 19th at +31. Collectively, the UFV women were at

+31, nine strokes back of the Champlain St. Lawrence Lions, the tournament host squad. On the men’s side, Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls was the top Cascade – he tied for seventh place at -1 for the tourney, with rounds of 69 and 74 on his scorecard. Kaleb Fisher (75-71) was T13 at +2, while Simon Blaker (74-74) was T17

The UFV men finished at +7 overall, trailing the Holland College Hurricanes (+1) and the Camosun Chargers (+4). “Getting on the podium at nationals is a really great accomplishment,” Bertram said. “It’s a nice award for our hard work, and I’m really proud of how the players played all week.”

Rocketing up the rankings Two weekend wins over the Coquitlam Express (see following page) have the Chilliwack Chiefs moving up the latest Canadian Junior Hockey League rankings. The latest national top 20 came out Monday morning, with the Chiefs (9-1-01) checking in at No. 11. That’s up four spots from last week and makes them the second highest BCHL team in the rankings. The Penticton Vees (10-1-0-0) are No. 3, up one spot from last week. The Nanaimo Clippers climb onto the list after being unranked last week. They are holding on to the 17th spot. The rankings are produced with help from International Scouting Services (ISS) and are based on several factors, including the league in which the team plays, winning percentage, win-loss record, total points accumulated, goals-for versus goalsagainst ratio, etc. See cjhlhockey.com

for a wide-open look at the right hash-mark. The Abbotsford native rifled his shot over the crossbar, but it bounced off the end-glass and back in front, where guess-who chipped it in. Puffer’s third of the game and 12th of the year gave Chilliwack a 4-1 lead. After Coquitlam’s Jackson Cressey scored to make it 4-2, the Chiefs went back to the power play. At the tail end of a Brett Supinski hooking minor, Kawaguchi tried to stick-handle his way

through three Express defenders. He lost the puck, but created a turnover for Jake Hand, who swooped in with a top shelf shot for his fifth of the year, and first since the BCHL Showcase. Kurt Black added to Chilliwack’s lead in the first minute of period three. With traffic passing in front of him, Krogfoss didn’t see Eric Roberts launch a wrist shot from the right point. He didn’t pick up Black’s deflection until

it was behind him, giving Black his fourth of the season. Coquitlam’s potent power play gave the Express one more goal, with Joey Santucci sniping his second of the year at 10:21. But Pelino was stout the rest of the way earning his sixth win in seven BCHL starts. The three stars were Puffer (first), Ferguson (second) and Mackin (third). The Fortis BC Energy Player of the Game was Hand.

Craig Puffer continued his rookie season to remember Saturday night, scoring three goals in a 6-3 home-ice win over the Coquitlam Express. Chiefs goaltender Aidan Pelino stopped 34 of 37 shots as Chilliwack completed a weekend sweep of their Mainland division rivals. The Chiefs topped the Express 5-3 in Coquitlam Friday night, and come out of the weekend with a 9-1-0-1 record. Puffer and crew jumped all over the Express in the opening minutes of this one. The Chiefs got the scoring started just 3:06 in on a goal by Liam Ferguson. The Connecticut kid finished off a three-way passing play that started with a neutral zone turnover. Chilliwack native Ryan Bowen flew into the Coquitlam zone and flipped a pass to Tanner Campbell on the left wing. Campbell threaded a pass through Express D-man Daniel Fritz to Ferguson, who had a chip-in for his third of the year. Just over a minute later, Tipper Higgins fired a shot from the top of the right circle, with Coquitlam netminder Braden Krogfoss kicking the rebound into the slot. A quick whack by Puffer and it was in the net. Puffer moved into the league lead in goals at 16:04. Rory Bell drew the assist, jarring the puck loose with a hard hit on the right-wing boards. Puffer nabbed the disc, skated toward the net and waited, waited, waited before slipping a low shot inches inside the far post. But Coquitlam got one back in the last minute of period one, with Corey Mackin striking on a power play, and came flying at the Chiefs to start period two. Sensing a shift in momentum, Chilliwack bench boss Jason Tatarnic called a timely timeout around the 7:30 mark. Tatarnic settled his team down and they went to a power play soon after. With Cameron Bertsch in the sin bin for hooking, Puffer set up Jordan Kawaguchi

Goguillot, Jean (July19, 1928October 11, 2014)

Jean Goguillot (nee Reeder) was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan. One of eleven children, she grew up in Melfort. She trained to be a nurse and worked in Saskatoon and Calgary. In Calgary she met John Day, and they were married in 1958. They moved to Vancouver. They had two sons: Rod (1960) and Brian (1962). The family lived for many years in Mission, where Jean nursed and was an active member of All Saints Anglican Church. She separated from John in 1980 and they later divorced. She lived in Abbotsford before marrying Charles Goguillot and moving to Yarrow, where she lived until her death on 2014. Jean was active and energetic throughout her life. She gardened and took particular pride in her home-grown tomatoes. She enjoyed golfing and walking on the trail by the Vedder River. She travelled to England, Mexico, France, and Spain. In her fifties, she returned to oil painting and pursued this for the remainder of her life, taking art classes and sharing her paintings with others. She was a dedicated reader and was particularly interested in history and historical fiction. She valued her extended family and presided at many family gatherings. Jean is survived by her sons, Rod and Brian; her sisters, Velma and Vivian; many nieces and nephews; and a group of close and devoted friends.

With deep sadness, we announce the death of our brother David Vincent Healey in his 66th year on June 27, 2014 in Chilliwack General Hospital. Beloved son of the late Mildred (Calder) and Vincent Healey. Brother to Bill (Nancy), Heather (Noel), Shawn (LouAnn), and Roslyn (Gerald). Soul mate to Sue ‘Weaver’ and a ‘father’ presence to Narissa and Nathan. As a young man, David suffered a major logging accident which cost him his leg. Although this would impact him for the rest of his life, he refused to let it slow him down physically, and was soon back playing tennis and football, riding his bike and working out. He travelled extensively to Australia, Mexico, Philippines and lived abroad for long periods, particularly in China. A man of many interests; he devoured books, loved music, good food, finance, and intellectual discussion. He was a storyteller. David also had a wonderfully sick sense of humour, one of his best qualities, and was not above pulling pranks on people. We will miss you Davey: our lovable, charming, determined, very funny, sensitive, intelligent,

It is with sadness that we announce the death of Mary Jane (May) Watkins at the age of 89. May passed away on Wednesday, September 17th at the Chilliwack Hospital. Mary Jane (May) Magee was born in Glasgow, Scotland on May 1, 1925. She entered the world with an irresistible urge to entertain people and, even at the age of three, needed no encouragement to enter talent contests on the pier at the local seaside. Over the years May joined many entertainment organizations and singing groups such as the Cast Offs at Cottonwood Village. She once confessed that when she heard music all her aches and pains seemed to disappear and she could move around the stage like a young woman. At school in Glasgow, May was interested in dressmaking, knitting, and cross-stitching. She planned to become a domestic science teacher. Unfortunately, World War II began before May finished school, and in order to avoid being evacuated to the country, she worked in a hat shop. When May was 17 she was drafted to serve in the civilian war service where she was involved in the intricate and precise manufacture of compasses for Allied ships and aircraft.

In 1952 May married Richard William (Dick) Watkins. Five years later Dick and May left Scotland and immigrated to Montreal. In subsequent years they made their way across Canada, via Brandon Manitoba to British Columbia. Dick worked as an auditor for Canadian Pacific Railway and May worked for Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL). In 1970 they went to Ontario where May worked first for the Oakville Public Library and later for the Huron Country Library. In 1979 Dick and May returned to their beloved British Columbia and May went back to work for FVRL. They moved to Chilliwack in 1988. Dick died the following year in September 1989. Within months May saw a small notice in the local paper asking for people interested in their local library to form a Friends of the Chilliwack Library group. In the beginning teas and books sales were the main source of revenue. May became President of the Friends group in 1990 and remained in that position for ten years. Under her leadership the Friends instituted raffles, garage sales and various other fund raising events. One event that May started is the annual pet parade. In 2000 May decided to return to Scotland to be closer to the family. May returned to Chilliwack from Scotland in 2005 and immediately rejoined the Friends of the Library. This dedicated group supports library programs and services with innovative projects like Quiz Night and puzzle sales. In 2010, May was presented a certificate by the Friends in recognition of 20 years of service. A proud daughter of Scotland, May was often asked to speak at Robbie Burns and frequently gave the “Address to the Haggis”. May was predeceased by her brother Alastair. She is survived by her sister-in-law Marjorie Magee and nephews Gregg and Graeme (Edinburgh, Scotland). May’s family and friends would like to thank the staff at Birchwood Retirement Residence and the nursing staff at Chilliwack General Hospital for their care and support. A celebration of life tea will be held at the Birchwood Retirement Residence, 45650 Patten Ave., Chilliwack, BC on Monday, October 27th from 1:30-3:30pm.
