Sardis town hall meeting: From grow ops, to bad drivers The Progress Chilliwack city council faced questions ranging from safety and security, to roadwork and traffic congestion at the second of two urban town hall meetings Thursday. But while those who packed the meeting room at the Sardis
Library had plenty of concerns, council made clear there was only so much a municipal government could do. That frustration was evident as councillors answered questions about a private, not-for-profit corrections facility operating in the Chilliwack River Valley. VisionQuest, which opened in 2013, offers addictions treatment
as part of a prison diversion program. Similar programs have been successful elsewhere, said Mayor Sharon Gaetz, however this one has drawn the ire of neighbours, politicians and local RCMP. “Your council does have a serious concern,” said Gaetz. RCMP inspector Davy Lee agreed. “This is causing us a lot of grief,” he said, citing an estimat-
ed 200 calls each year for police attendance – calls that require the response of at least two RCMP members. Those are resources that could be better spent elsewhere, he said. The problem, said Gaetz, is not with the concept of drug rehabilitation, but with the management of the facility. If the centre were within the City
of Chilliwack, council could pull its business licence. But because it is in the Fraser Valley Regional District, options are more limited. She urged those attending the town hall meeting to contact their MLA and pressure them for changes. Detox and drug treatment programs in Chilliwack remain an Continued: CONCERNS/ p7

Election 2015: military policy a battleground Tom Fletcher Black Press A rundown navy, aging fighter jets and closing of dedicated Veterans’ Affairs offices are playing a central role in the campaign for the Oct. 19 federal election. The Conservative government has been in a running battle with the Public Ser vice Alliance of Canada over the closure of nine regional Veterans Affairs offices, including those in Prince George and Kelowna. The union ran TV ads with veterans
describing difficulty getting mental and physical health support. Veterans’ Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole wrote to PSAC national president Robyn Benson in July, the ads A calling D “intentionally misA leading.” He said CAN the government is opening 27 dedicated mental health clinics, training staff on veterans programs in integrated Service Canada offices, and continuing to spend more on support for veterans as their numbers decline. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair promises to reopen the nine dedi-

cated offices, and add $454 million over four years to Veterans Affairs. The NDP says the money would go to improving long-term care, survivor pensions, mental health treatment and expansion of the program to support veterans in their homes. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has announced that if he becomes prime minister, he will pull Canada out of the development of the U.S.-led F-35 fighter project, which has been plagued by delays and cost overruns. Trudeau said the F-35’s stealth, first-strike abilities are not what Canada needs, and other fighters would serve Canada’s purposes at lower cost.
Conser vative leader Stephen Harper noted it was the previous Liberal government that committed Canada to join Australia, Britain and other countries in supporting the F-35, and withdrawing would be a severe blow to the country’s aerospace industry. With six of the Royal Canadian Airforce’s 30-year-old CF-18 fighter-bombers taking part in a U.S.led mission against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria, the Liberals and NDP are calling for Canada to focus on humanitarian relief instead of combat. The Royal Canadian Navy, another traditional name restored by the Conservatives,
Little Free Library opens in Garrison Crossing Sam Bates The Progress Readers young and old gathered in grand celebration on September 16, huddled around what appeared to be the house of a well-read doll. Rather, it was the opening of the Gore Brothers Book House in Garrison Crossing. The Book House is part of the Little Free Library (LFL) community. The premise is simple: take a book, return a book. These compact, handcrafted structures are a great way to encourage a love of reading and sharing in a community, and a unique avenue to meet your neighbours. Little Free Libraries have popped up all over the world, and local mom Daris LaPointe wanted to bring something similar to her community. “What they promote is wonderful, and I thought it would be great to have one in front of my house, or in a park nearby,” LaPointe explained. As of Januar y 2015, LittleFreeLibrary.org estimates that there are nearly 25,000 registered Little Free Libraries worldwide. LaPointe and her daughter Fintry approached the City of Chilliwack, the local rotary clubs and Garrison Crossing developers, the Gore Brothers, to see what could be done. When LaPointe asked the Gore Brothers for a price, they graciously offered to build and donate the miniature house for free. With permit and placement approval from the city, the ador-
is awaiting new ships from the Conservatives’ $26 billion shipbuilding program, Canada’s largest ever. Some contracts have been awarded to Seaspan, B.C.’s largest shipyard, which is also building new research vessels for Fisheries and Oceans Canada. HMCS Protecteur, the navy’s only West Coast supply ship, was decommissioned after a 2014 fire off Hawaii. Protecteur was built in Halifax 46 years ago, and is being temporarily replaced by a former U.S. Navy ship on loan from Chile. Replacements for Protecteur and its East Coast equivalent HMCS Provider, also retired, are expected to take six more years.

able library has been installed in Chehalis Park, central to the neighbourhood. Built and painted by Gore Brothers employees Tonny Cormier and Crystal Poe, the to-scale replica is a model of a home that the Gore Brothers built in Garrison Crossing, 45297

Soowahlie Crescent. The only difference between the model and the life-size home, “is that the actual home doesn’t have a giant door in the side of it,” Gore Brothers site foreman, Gerry de Vries explained. “And you can’t just open it up and take books!” LaPointe added. The former community of military housing began to transform in 2004 as Canada Lands Company began redeveloping the old CFB Chilliwack. Fourth-generation Chilliwack residents, Mark, Tony and Lee Gore decided to be part of the challenge. It was their first time renovating an entire community, but the Gore Brothers knew how important it was to maintain the character of the post-war homes, and the memories of the families who once lived there. Tony Gore explained that each home “had a time capsule of treasures” within the walls, much like the Book House will contain treasured memories of children reading with their families.
Now that the beautiful community is complete, right down to the last ‘home’ that sits in the park, the Gore Brothers gave a bittersweet farewell. “We have to say ‘so long’ and move on to our next project, but it’s been great being your neighbour for eleven years,” said de Vries. Mayor Sharon Gaetz inaugurated the little library by reading Dr. Suess’ What Pet Should I Get? to the big crowd of enthusiastic little listeners. LaPointe expressed her appreciation by presenting Mayor Gaetz and the Gore Brothers with a celebratory plaque, gratefully acknowledging their support and generosity to encourage literacy in the community. Neighbours crowded together to watch as their kids cut the red ribbon, opening the library. It didn’t take long to see that the actions of LaPointe, the city, and the Gore Brothers will be put to good use, as books already began flying in and out of the little library.
An on-campus series of all-candidates debates is in the works, thanks to the University of the Fraser Valley’s Student Union Society. They have invited all local candidates to join in three different debates. The Chilliwack campus will host its debate for the Chilliwack-Hope candidates on Oct. 8 at 12 p.m., in the atrium. Debates for the Abbotsford and Misson-Matsqui ridings will be held on Oct. 1, at the Abbotsford campus. The debates are part of the Get Out The Vote efforts, which rallies students to encourage each other to vote. Post secondary students are increasingly being reminded that their votes matter, largely through online and on-campus campaigns. The Get Out The Vote campaign invites students to join their peers as volunteers, campaigning however they know how. “Whether it is persuading students to vote, knocking on a door, spreading our narrative on social media or entering in data — you can be part of our campaign,” their website says. “Our campaign was constructed to be aspirational and in truly believing that students can and should have a say in how politics unfold in Canada. The Canadian Alliance of Student Associations believes that the best way to make a difference is to ensure we dramatically enhance voter participation amongst students. If we don’t speak up, we can’t expect to be heard.” On other campuses, where the Canadian Federation of Students is active, a campaign is underway called This Time We Decide. It’s another student-led campaign, aimed at educating and Continued: VOTE/ p14

This is a well established business and the expanded facility is a real positive for the growers in the community.” The facility, once completely operating, could bring about two dozen jobs to Chilliwack, Phillips said. While the frozen berry storage only takes a few workers to operate, the IQF facility will need about 20 workers in the peak of the season. Data collected in 2013 shows that Chilliwack has over 1,000 acres of land in blueberry pro-
logging, developing rights of way, and more. Last year, he employed more than 100 people. “After looking at it, I thought ‘I guess I am doing quite a bit,’” he says. “I work with young people, and I get them jobs.

Local Green candidate advocates commuter rail Jessica Peters The Progress The federal election has rekindled discussion around the old interurban rail line. Fraser Valley Green Party candidates are proposing a project that would reactivate the BC Electric Interurban, and connect Surrey to Chilliwack. The proposal includes the electrification of the West Coast Express (WCE), extending the WCE to Abbotsford using existing freight track, and the reactivation of the BC Electric interurban line to allow direct travel from Chilliwack to Vancouver. “The first step of the proposed regional rail project is the reactivation of the BC Electric Interurban as a tram-train from Scott Road in Surrey to Chilliwack, passing through Langley, Abbotsford, and Yarrow,” reads a statement from Chilliwack-Hope Green Party candidate Thomas Cheney. “For too long people in the Fraser Valley have been unable to have effective transportation” stated Cheney. They see the proposal as a better alternative to transit issues than a current Translink proposal. The Greens say the cost of the first phase of their plan would be about $1 billion. Using existing rail infrastructure and right-of-way is an option widely used in many jurisdictions, Cheney added. “Commuter rail has a controversial history in greater Vancouver, related to concerns that it would promote suburban sprawl” he said. “What regional plans did not envision with the impossibly high housing prices within the greater Vancouver region. The question is not whether Greater Vancouver’s future is suburban, but rather whether suburban growth takes a transit oriented form or continues down the car dependent path it has historically followed.” The push to reawaken the interurban rail line is not a new one. While the Green Party does not mention Rail For the Valley in their press release, that movement is still campaigning for a revitalization of the Interurban.

Town hall meeting hears concerns from the south side CONCERNS from Front between the City and Fraser Health, Gaetz added. But unfortunately, decisions rest outside the municipal mandate and are often driven by funding. And there’s the rub, said Coun. Sam Waddington. Municipal governments lack the money or the authority to create the social programs their constituents say are needed. “We see it the most, but we have the least ability to do anything about it,” he said. That is particularly true when it comes to medical marijuana grow operations, said Coun. Sue Attrill. She was responding to a Yarrow resident’s complaint about two grow-ops in her neighbourhood – one likely legal, the other not. Attrill said the city had thought it had crafted a solution to confine medical grow ops to industrial properties, where the city has greater control over issues like odour and security. However, a recent decision by the provincial government to allow marijuana cultivation as “an accepted use” on agricultural land, changes all that. It means that communities like Yarrow, which are punctuated with plots of agricultural land, could be home to marijuana grow operations with no municipal oversight. Not all the conversation Thursday was about what the City couldn’t do. Mayor Gaetz steered the discussion to road and infrastructure work. That sparked concern about speeds on roads like Evans, which one woman called “horrifying.” Coun. Chuck Stam pointed to the enforcement work done by the RCMP, as well as the Speed Watch volunteers with Chilliwack Crime Prevention Services. But the responsibility also rests with individuals to police their own driving habits, added Coun. Attrill, and pressure their friends and family to drive responsibly. Rod Sanderson, deputy director of engineering, offered updates on several road and

infrastructure projects in the area. Work has begun on the two roundabouts on Prest Road. And improvements are coming to Vedder Road, from Promontor y/ Watson to Keith Wilson. However, residents waiting for improvements to the intersection at Promontory and Chilliwack River Road will have to wait a little longer. Although Sanderson could offer
few specifics because of privacy concerns, he said action to address congestion at the chronically crowded intersection was coming. He also highlighted the Vedder Bridge replacement plan and roundabout. However, he rejected suggestions the bridge should have been planned to a fourlane capacity. Two lanes, coupled with the roundabout, are sufficient to

deal with the estimated 10 high-traffic-count days per year. Building four lanes would have tripled the cost and failed to get the 66 per cent funding support from federal and provincial governments, added Coun. Chris Kloot. Concern was also raised about the continued development within Garrison Crossing and apparent lack of onstreet parking. Coun. Chuck Stam responded, saying part of the problem is the use of garages for storage instead of vehicles. Council is looking at stronger bylaw enforcement, he said. Improved transit services would alleviate some of the congestion, suggested one speaker. And the councillors agreed. However, after crafting an aggressive five-year expansion transit plan, said a clearly frustrated Coun. Jason Lum, the city watched as the province froze funding for BC Transit (which accounts for 50 per cent of Chilliwack’s public transit budget).

As the experts repeatedly tell us, it’s not a matter of if a natural emergency or disaster will strike, but when. It’s a fact underscored by the recent 8.4 magnitude earthquake in Chile, where media accounts suggest things could have been far worse were it not for the planning of government and residents. And then there were the people displaced by wildfires this summer, many of whom likely had to leave without medications, important documents or even pet supplies because the fire spread fast and furious. Truth is, while we typically focus on the likelihood of an earthquake when it comes to emergency planning – and for good reason – natural disasters can take many forms, all of which require that we be prepared. Even in the Lower Mainland, where the recent record windstorm knocked power out for several days, some residents were reportedly caught up in a panic due to the lack of electricity and provisions. Imagine what these same folks would do in the event of a true catastrophe. The question, then, is what do you do about an elusive, undefined future disaster? You plan. Because while many things are beyond your control, a good many more aren’t. Here in Chilliwack, the arrival of fall offers an renewed opportunity to make those preparations. It’s a chance to restock supplies, or simply take stock of what you have and what you don’t. Replace batteries (including those in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors). Check the due dates on food and water. And make sure everything is where you think it is. Not sure what steps to take to ensure you and are family are prepared? There is ample information online, both through the City of Chilliwack and BC Emergency planning. The websites offer simple steps advice to ensure that if an emergency strikes, you will be ready. ~ Black Press

Do balanced budgets really matter? The federal election campaign has produced a jumble of conflicting claims about whether or not Canada has a balanced budget or a deficit, how it was determined, and whether it even matters. The definitive word on this came out last week, with the release of the Government of Canada Annual Financial Report, signed off by Auditor General Michael Ferguson. “The government posted a budgetary surplus of $1.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, compared to a budgetary deficit of $5.2 billion in 2013-14,” the report says. “Revenues increased by $10.7 billion, or 3.9 per cent, from 201314, reflecting increases across all major revenue streams. Program expenses increased by $5.2 billion, reflecting increases in major transfers to persons and other levels of government, offset in part
by a decrease in direct program expenses.” The Conser vative government’s pre-election budget calculated that last year was in deficit, and this year would be the first in the black since 2008. Ottawa pundits say this “surprise surplus” was engineered with intenTom tionally pessimistic FLETCHER budget estimates, so Prime Minister Stephen Harper would get a boost right about now. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau claimed last year’s surplus was partly generated by cuts to Veterans’ Affairs and Aboriginal Affairs. Wrong and wrong. Veterans’ Affairs spending was up 13 per cent, and Aboriginal Affairs spending rose nearly 30 per cent.
Trudeau has also insisted Canada is in recession now, which helps his suddenly adopted position that a Liberal government would run deficits for the next three years to build infrastructure. Harper ran the biggest deficits in Canadian history after the 2009 crash, bailing out auto makers and building lots of “shovel ready” infrastructure, as did the U.S. and other countries. The question raised by Trudeau’s plan is whether it’s a good idea to keep doing that without a financial crisis. France, for example, has run operating deficits every year since the early 1970s, although the current Socialist government vows to balance the books by 2017. France’s operating debt is now equal to 91 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product. Canada’s net debt-to-GDP ratio is currently around 30 per cent,

down from frightening levels in the 1990s before the Chrétien government finally balanced the budget. (Fun fact: then-finance minister Paul Martin not only cut transfers to provinces, unlike the current government, he inflicted the largest-ever cuts to the CBC. Harper’s CBC cuts were part of government-wide reductions, again due to that 2009 crisis.) NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has promised to balance the budget every year of his mandate, should he form Canada’s firstever socialist government. He will spend the rest of the campaign trying to reconcile this promise with the grandiose spending plans he has piled up. Meanwhile in B.C., Finance Minister Mike de Jong may have benefited from Harper’s lowball budget. In his first quarter update last week, de Jong reported that
his February budget forecast is on track, with a $277 million surplus. This is despite a $300 million bill for forest firefighting, thanks to personal and corporate income tax revenue expected to be $374 million higher than budgeted. B.C. bases its tax revenue figures on federal estimates, and the ones they got early this year were clearly low. Understated or not, this is a nice problem to have. De Jong says that at the current pace, B.C. will pay off its accumulated operating debt by 2020. The last time the province was free of operating debt was 1982. The big debt peak came during the NDP 1990s, with another spike from 2009 to 2013 under the B.C. Liberals. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

‘Neighbours look after one another’ Last Thursday morning as I was proceeding down Garrison Blvd. on my morning “power walk” I accidentally tripped and fell face down on the sidewalk. There being no one around, I picked myself up, doctored my bleeding upper lip and began my return walk home on Watson road. When I was nearing Watson School a kind, very nice looking young lad, who must have seen me fall, came up behind me on his bicycle and stopped and
asked me if I was okay. I told him that other than a split upper lip I was fine. He looked at my face and said that he thought the lip had just been skinned, however he was still very concerned about my condition. I assured him that I was almost home and that I would be fine. As he rode off on his bicycle I thanked for stopping to which he replied, “Neighbours look after one another,” or something to that effect. Since I had no idea as to who
9
he was, I want to thank him again for his thoughtfulness and concern. I’m sure his parents would be very proud of his kind deed. I think perhaps he should consider a future vocation in the medical field. It is nice to know that there are young people looking out for us seniors. Thank you again. Joyce Trimble (Actually as well as the skinned fat lip I did break a bone in my left hand which at the moment is in a splint.)

More numbers on income splitting Gary Gast’s letter, Sept. 18 (Income splitting by the numbers) describes a couple in which John Doe earns $60,000 while his wife is a stay-at-home mom. He calculates they would benefit by $4,200 under the Conser vative’s income-splitting program (also known as the “Family Tax Cut”.) That calculation is mistaken: The 22% federal tax rate
he refers to is the marginal rate on income over $44,701, not on the entire $60,000. Without income splitting, John Doe would pay 15% on the first $44,701 and 22% on the remainder, for a total federal tax bill of $10,070, not $13,200. Splitting income by transferring $20,000 to his wife would save the family $1,070, not $4,200 or even the maximum
$2,000, as claimed. That’s still something for the Doe family, but let’s look deeper. The Parliamentary Budget Office analyzed this, and found that only 15 per cent of Canadian families would benefit (in fairness, as Mr. Gast points out, that’s not the same thing as saying the richest 15 per cent). If those were all families in need, that might be
appropriate. But about 30 per cent of the families who do benefit earn more than $120,000 a year, and will receive about 32 per cent of the program’s cost: $2.2 billion. That money would surely be better spent helping those less comfortable; perhaps even the Does.

Conservatives called out on electioneering The Conservative Party of Canada has used every partisan advantage possible to win this election. First they went around Canada sprinkling money in what is a cynical and obvious ploy to win votes. They have created the longest writ period in a very long time to get around the spending limits of a normal length writ
period putting parties with financial resources at a disadvantage. Now, our local Conservative Candidate has decided to campaign again with our tax dollars by leaving up signs from before the election that clearly identify him as an MP. This is electioneering with the public purse. Obviously Mr. Strahl has made the calculation that from
either Elections Canada or the voters, he will not face a penalty. We need to send the message that skirting rules and electioneering with the public purse is not acceptable. On October 19th, send the message loud and clear to the Conservatives. Shon Bartok
Questions about environment sustainability I reflect on the photo, and stor y on sustainability (Visions of sustainability shared at Chilliwack rally, Sept. 16). This group has oil production items, from ink pens to banners, plastic file holders, plastic bags. Using oil to drive to a rally.
Not in favour of LNG, really? Natural gas, the best fuel. Possible spill, recall your physics class, liquid natural gas will flash off to a gas. I would ask how a bike-riding natural oat eating representative, living in Mom and Dad’s basement, plans on creating jobs in B.C. Just not ready.
OK, one good point: raise awareness about Tamihi Creek water power project. This proposed project by KMC Energy Corp, keep the smoke and add mirror. The size is large for sleepy old Chilliwack standards, 1626 acres, or 6.6 square kilometres! Example of size, if this was in Vancouver,
developers could put 34,249 people on this site. Raise awareness, yes, but, the provincial, MFLNRO, application 2408854, Tamihi Creek, requests for transparency are being stalled. Fred Petersen Chilliwack

No dog days of summer this year – August posted 291 home sales, well ahead of the 230 sales during the same month last year. This, at a time of year when home sales typically slow down. “It’s been an incredible summer for home sales,” said Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) President, Travis Heppner. “We have long known that Chilliwack and area is not prone to wildly fluctuating home prices and therefore is attractive to all types of buyers, but this summer we have definitely seen strong interest from people relocating from various points west”. The highest number of homes were in the $400,000$499,999 range. “This represents strength in the move-up category for local sellers and buyers, and also represents good value for people relocating from higher priced areas. A $500,000 home in Chilliwack and moreso in outlying areas can buy a lot more house and yard for the dollar,” added Mr. Heppner. With demand high in all price ranges, more listings are needed! If you are considering a move up, or building your dream home to take advantage of the continued low interest rates, contact any of the experienced 271 REALTORS® of CADREB for a free, no obligation assessment.

Always civic minded, the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) has again launched The Valley Votes, an initiative started in 2011, designed to educate and inform the communities it serves in an effort to see voter turnout and engagement increase. The main thrust of the campaign is via social media; Facebook, Twitter, and the blogsite theValleyVotes.ca. A main feature of the blogsite is on-the-street video interviews with the people of our communities reflecting their opinions about voting and important local issues. The site has information about the function of government, and why, where, when and how to vote. There is also a “Get to Know the Candidates” area. The highlight of CADREB’s ValleyVotes campaign is a twitter party (planned for October 7 from 7-8 pm). This virtual all-candidates one hour event was very successful in last year’s Civic election, bringing all the candidates together in one room to answer questions sent in via twitter.

Students urged to vote VOTE from page 3 encouraging each other to get involved in the voting process. “This election will be close. Incredibly close,� says their website. “Every vote will make a difference.� The non-partisan campaign is being led by CFS, and includes the hiring of community relations officers for youth and students. They launched the campaign last week, and are hoping to see the message spread across the province. The CFS B.C. represents more than 200,000 post secondary students, at 15 universities and colleges across the province (not UFV). They are hoping to mobilize
10,000 students to vote, in an effort to get young Canadians involved in democracy. “This is the most important election in a generation, and it’s going to be extremely close. Students’ votes will make a difference,� said Simka Marshall, Chairperson, CFS-BC. The CFS says that in 2011, 6,201 was the combined margin of victory across the 14 most contested government-held ridings in Canada. Five of those ridings came down to less than 250 votes.

Akon brings Stadium tour to Chilliwack Sam Bates The Progress
Akon took the stage at Evergreen Hall Sept. 19, performing all of his fan-favourite tracks in preparation for the upcoming release of Stadium. SAM BATES/ PROGRESS
Akon’s intimate performance at Evergreen Hall on September 19 was a night that Chilliwack fans won’t soon forget. As the long line-up of eager Akon fans filtered in, everyone was entertained by ground-shaking music from the DJ and the special guest openers, including Peter Jackson. The crowd had a great time as Karl Wolf performed his top solo hits like Africa and Ghetto Love, and they enjoyed the harmonic performances of Wolf’s new group B.A.E. (Be All Equal). Fans couldn’t contain their excitement as Akon took the stage. Everyone sang along in unison as Akon performed all of his fan-favourites, including Don’t Matter, I Wanna Love You, Dangerous, Right Now and Sexy Chick. The relatively small venue allowed Akon to get up close and personal with his Chilliwack fans, reaching out to them as they danced to his soulful vocal melodies and the hard-hitting drums. Akon stuck around after the show for a meetand-greet with the VIP fans. Akon’s promotional tour is pumping up the fans for the release of Stadium, his newest multi-album project. Visit akon.com to signup to be one of the first to download Akon’s Stadium app and to listen to tracks from the forthcoming album.
Snow White pantomime reaches out to audiences There’s nothing quiet about a pantomime. “There’s often a lot of confusion around the term pantomime,” says Malcolm Mincher, who is directing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for the Chilliwack Players Guild this November. “People see that word ‘mime’ and immediately think, there’s no talking. Nothing could be further from the truth.” In fact, a pantomime is probably the noisiest, rowdiest sort of theatre you can attend. And the more boisterous, noisy, and involved the cast and the crowd are, the better. The name pantomime comes from the Greek, meaning “we can act everything”, and Pantos, as they are affectionately dubbed, do include a little bit of everything.
Modern pantomime contains songs, slapstick comedy and dancing, employs gendercrossing actors, and combines topical and local humor with a story loosely based on a wellknown fairy tale or nursery story. “To me it’s the last bastion of the variety show and you can absolutely litter it with corny gags and get a fantastic reaction,” says Mincher. “Snow White is a classic of the genre, the script we’ve started with is very clever, and it’s always fun to slip in a few local jokes and some digs at current politics. The great thing about Panto is the audience interaction, it’s so inclusive. It’s a participatory form of theatre, the crowd is expected to sing along with the music
and shout out phrases to the performers,” he adds. Performance conventions include yelling things like “he’s behind you!” to warn the hero, and “Oh, yes it is!” and “Oh, no it isn’t!,” to voice disagreement with the villain. One of the major aims is to break the fourth wall and make the audience take part in the play. “That’s what’s so wonderful about pantomime: anything goes,” Mincher says. In Victorian times, when the Pantomime really came into its own, it was perceived as a means of escape from the strict morals of the time. In those days the leading young male character (the principle boy) was often played by a young woman, usually in male
garments (such as breeches) that made her female charms evident. This provided a marvelous opportunity, in stoic Victorian times, to display a shapely pair of limbs and to increase the male audience. Pantomimes rely on a set of stock characters, perhaps the most iconic Panto role is the Dame, who is usually played by a man in drag. The Dame’s costume and entrances are typically more extravagant and exaggerated than any other character. She is usually portrayed as older, unattractive and fairly common, all qualities which she believes she is the exact opposite of. The dame in Snow White is also the villain, the wicked Queen Evilynn.

Harrison gets taste of New Orleans Vancouver-based trio Cannery Row will be returning to Harrison with their rollicking, blues influenced New Orleans gumbo on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. in the intimate Harrison Memorial Hall.  “Harrison audiences are well acquainted with the wonderful fiddler, piano player and singer  Gary Comeau, first through his Voodoo Allstars and most recently through Cannery Row’s grooving 2014 performance on the Festival Beach Stage,� says Hillhouse. With diverse musical backgrounds but a common love of roots Americana styles, Comeau and his bandmates, veterans Tim Hearsey (guitar) and Chris Nordquist (drums), stir up an eclectic mix of original tunes. In their music, one can hear the
influence of Mardi Gras in New Orleans, the blues from Memphis and the Mississippi Delta, the Latin rhythms of Cuba and a sprinkle of the early roots of jazz.  Hillhouse says that “these are three fine players — as fine as you will find in the musical heartlands of the southern states to which they pay homage in their music. If you can’t travel to the bayou, we can have a taste of it right here.� Alongside Gary Comeau, Tim Hearsay is one of Canada’s finest blues guitarists, and has performed with several blues legends, including Taj Mahal, Lowell Fulson, and Hubert Sumlin, as well as Jim Byrnes, with whom he partnered to produce Jim’s 1996 Juno award winning album That River.

dies are so much fun to play, you can be as broad and over the top as you like, argue with the audience and be the person they love to hate, it’s fantastic!” The foil for the villain is the Princess, in this case Snow White, played by Elizabeth Monaghan, assisted by the charming Prince, played by Cruze Hurley. Another traditional role is the spinster in this case Clarissa the Cook, played by Janet Fox and her slow-witted sidekick, played by Darrin Kennedy. Rounding out the cast of 28 are dwarfs, villagers, soldiers and henchmen. Producer John Ayris adds, “Pantos are family shows but there is usually enough innuendo of the nudge-nudge winkwink variety to keep the grownups happy.” Part of the popularity of Pantomime is that it works on two levels. There is the basic story and gags for the children, but the script also often involves risqué double entendre, often wringing innuendo out of perfectly innocent phrases. This is, in theo-
ry, over the heads of the children in the audience and is for the entertainment of the adults. Many modern pantomimes cast popular artists and celebrity guest stars to promote the show. Keep your eyes open, you never know what local celebrity might show up! Pop singer Ariana Grande recently appeared as Snow White, while Pamela Anderson, Henry “The Fonz” Winkler, and David Hasselhoff have all tried their hands at it. Even the celebrated stage and screen actor Sir Ian McKellen has taken recent turns as the Dame and is enthusiastic in his praise of Panto: “I believe there’s more pure theatre in a pantomime than you get in Shakespeare, and if it works, it’s unforgettable…” Now, you can’t say fairer than that… ”Oh no you can’t!” Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the Panto, plays at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre Nov. 19 to 28.

Lawn Requirements for the Fall By Weed Man Chilliwack
The fall season has started and you should be thinking about your lawn requirements as it’s one of the most important times of the year for your lawn for many reasons. Repair Summer Stress
The extreme heat of the summer took its toll on home lawns; particularly with the watering restrictions we saw. Foot traffic from other summer activities such as BBQs and other social functions can also set the lawn back somewhat. As cooler weather patterns set in, conditions become ideal for lawn replenishment such as over-seeding and aerating. As opposed to the early spring when soil temperatures are slowly warming up, and very often too cool for maximum seed germination, the early fall typically has ideal soil temperatures; which is important particularly for lawns that suffered from summer diseases, insects and/or drought. It’s also important to remember that competition from weeds is typically much lower in the fall than the spring; making the most of any lawn replenishment that is done.

As the fall approaches, weather patterns begin to change. In the early fall daytime temperatures can still feel very summer-like; until the evening sets in sooner due to decreased sunlight hours and temperatures are typically much cooler. Sometimes your lawn
can develop disease symptoms during this time of change. Should your lawn show any strange discolorations, consult an expert in case it is evidence of a disease.
Mowing and Watering You will likely need to increase your mowing frequency now. Why? Because as the weather cools down and moisture returns, your grass will begin to grow faster like it did in the spring. Again, it’s important to remember the ⅓ rule; which is “mow your grass often enough to remove only the top ⅓ of the grass blade”. It’s also an ideal time of the season to sharpen your mower blade! After the summer stress and damage to your lawn, sharpening your blade will ensure that your grass blades are cut cleanly rather than tearing or ripping and fraying the tips with a dull blade. Too many people just sharpen their mower blades once in the spring. This is not enough. Your mower blade will be dull by late summer. Torn blades will not only give the lawn an unhealthy appearance; but they can also exacerbate any disease issues that may be plaguing your lawn. Hopefully you decreased or even suspended your mowing during extreme summer heat when the growth of your lawn probably stopped. Watering requirements should decrease as fall hopefully brings more rainfall into the mix. If you have an automatic watering system without rain sensors, please adjust it according to your local weather conditions.
Fertility A sound fertility regime for your lawn is the most important aspect of any lawn care program. The fall is probably the most important time for a lawn to be fertilized as your lawn needs to be able to build up sufficient reserves in its root system heading into the winter months. This will ensure it can emerge green and healthy next spring.

More and more adult children are welcoming their aging parents into their homes and such living situations have led to a growth in in-law suites.
In-law suites are often created by converting a room in the house, such as the basement, into a livable suite. Such suites can benefit elderly relatives but can also benefit younger homeowners who want to see their parents more. In addition, when older men and women move in with their adult children, they can provide some necessary relief from the cost of daycare. But before building an in-law suite in their home, homeowners might want to heed the following tips. Be certain it is legal. Making changes to your home may require a permit, particularly if your in-law suite will be an entirely new addition to your property and not just a strict room remodel. Contact the City to ensure the project is within your rights as a homeowner. Consider the health of your in-laws when making plans. Many in-law suites are occupied by aging relatives who might not be able to get up and down stairs as easily as they used to. That makes accessibility of the suite a top prior-
ity. Typically, it’s best to locate in-law suites on the first floor, so relatives won’t find it difficult to get in and out of the suite. Don’t overlook privacy. Just because your parents or in-laws will be moving in doesn’t mean they don’t still value their privacy. Chances are your relatives will initially feel as though they are invading your space and your privacy, so be sure the suite affords adequate privacy to all members of the household. It might be best to build the suite so it has its own separate entrance from the rest of the home. The suite should also have its own full bathroom and, if possible, its own kitchen area so your in-laws can cook for themselves and entertain their own guests without feeling like a burden. Tailor certain amenities to the elderly. If your in-laws are older, install certain amenities, such as grab bars in the shower and bathroom, during the initial construction so you won’t have to make changes down the road. Install easy-open drawers and make sure the suite has ample lighting. Remember to install safety features. Safety features like fire, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are a necessity. Make sure the alarms on each of these detectors are loud enough so elderly men and women who have hearing loss can hear them without issue. Make sure all walkways leading to the in-law suite have motion detecting lamps at night to reduce risk of falling. Also, if the suite will be a separate building from your house, install an intercom system that connects with the main house so your relatives can easily reach you in case of emergency.

Pros and cons to including an island in a kitchen redesign Homeowners planning a kitchen remodel are no doubt considering whether to include a kitchen island in the new design. When the space allows, an island can be a fine way to enhance the look of a kitchen and impart an upscale appeal.
Interest in kitchen islands has grown steadily for the past several decades. Introduced in the 1970s, islands became a popular place for guests to congregate and provided extra counter space for meal preparation and entertaining. The suburban migration led to bigger homes with larger kitchens. Through the 1980s and 1990s, homes grew even larger, and islands became a popular feature of kitchens across the country. The increase in food-based programming on television has also contributed to the popularity of kitchen islands. As more people dabble with preparing their own gourmet meals, kitchen islands have become more convenient. Although there are many benefits to an island in the kitchen, there are also some disadvantages. Weighing all the options can help homeowners design a kitchen layout that is functional, affordable and practical for the space they have.

Homeowners should question whether a kitchen island is a practicality for their renovation projects.
Arguably the most significant advantage to having a kitchen island is the added space it provides. Many times islands are built with cabinetry that matches the rest of the kitchen design, and those cabinets provide storage space for pots, pans and other kitchen tools. Islands may double the storage space available in the kitchen. Kitchen islands are also advantageous when preparing meals. Kitchen counter space can be easily gobbled up by toaster ovens, rotisserie cookers, microwaves, coffee makers, and various other countertop appliances. These appliances can take up valuable real
The Chilliwack Progress Wednesday, September 23, 2015 estate that's sorely missed when preparing meals. An island can be used solely for cooking and preparation, and some homeowners have incorporated cutting boards and a prep sink into the design of the island. Islands also can be customized according to a homeowner's needs. Instead of simply having cabinetry beneath the counter, some opt to have a wine cooler or even a bookshelf for keeping cookbooks within reach. An additional small dishwasher or beverage refrigerator may be tucked into the design of the island. For others, the island may be a makeshift kitchen office space.
Cons Expense is a leading negative factor with regard to a kitchen island. The additional material necessary and the labor involved in installation may bust some homeowners' budgets. Stationary islands can cost several thousand dollars to install, and this is money a homeowner may be better off investing elsewhere.
www.theprogress.com
In smaller kitchens, an island may be impractical because of the space limitation. Islands are typically at the heart of the kitchen and may interfere with walking space or cause clearance issues when the refrigerator door or cabinet doors are open. For homeowners who find space is at a premium in the kitchen, an island may not be the best idea. However, a rolling island that can be moved into position when needed, then stored in a convenient, out-of-the-way location might be a viable option. Depending on the complexity of a kitchen island, its installation may extend the amount of time required to complete the kitchen renovation. This can prolong the length of time needed to complete the work. Running a gas or electric line and plumbing to the island may require a major overhaul and demolition. Kitchen islands are popular components of home designs. Before homeowners engage in any kitchen renovation that may include the incorporation of an island, they should know the advantages and disadvantages.

Handy tips for revitalizing panelled rooms

Fall Renovation Package. *
Panelling is a low-cost way to cover problem walls. In the 1960s and 1970s, panelling was very popular. Sold in large panels, panelling was relatively easy to hang, and quickly became a staple of dens and finished basements.

But few of today’s homeowners are enamoured with the look of faux wood panelling. Those who purchase
homes that have panelling on the walls often search for ways to transform the look of rooms in which the walls are covered in panelling. While panelling does go up quickly, removing it may not be as simple. Explore these options for giving panelled walls a new look. Paint over the panelling The fastest way to breathe new life into a panelled room is to paint over the panelling. The texture of the panelling will show from beneath, giving the room appeal without the dark hue of the wood or veneer panels. Consult with a paint store or home improvement centre to determine the most effective way to cover up panelling with paint. Sometimes it is wise to lightly scuff the panelling with a fine-grit sandpaper so that the paint will adhere. Shiny or glossed panelling can be dulled with a de-glossing product. Continued on page 25

The Chilliwack Progress Wednesday, September 23, 2015 Continued from page 24 Sometimes a combination of a thick primer and colour will grip the panelling and reduce the number of coats needed to cover it. Also, invest in a high-quality, professional-grade paint. It may cost a bit more, but such paint will be well worth it when it glides over the panelling, covering it completely. If you don’t want the grooves showing between the panels, fill them in with spackle and sand down to create a smooth surface before painting. Cover the panelling Covering up the panelling is another tactic. Rather than coating the wall in paint, consider a wallpaper liner. Liners are essentially a thick, plain wallpaper that is applied on top of the panelling or used when dealing with damaged walls. In lieu of tearing down the walls and putting up new drywall, the liner will cover imperfections. Many of these products can be painted directly and may not require priming beforehand. This can be great for homeowners whose goal is to cover panelling quickly and easily. Those who prefer a patterned look on the walls can opt to cover panelling with a printed wallpaper. However, depending on the thickness of the wallpaper, this may be a two-step process. You may need to fill in the creases between the panels first, or first use a thick wallpaper liner to create a seamless surface.
www.theprogress.com
Cut the panelling If you desire a cottage or country look in a room, remove half of the paneling, leaving the bottom portion intact. Then place moulding or a chair rail where you made your cut, creating a wainscoting effect. The top portion of the wall can be painted, while the bottom portion can be left as the wood colour or painted a complementary colour. Remove the panelling The most labour-intensive way to give a panelled room a new look is to remove the panelling. Pry at a portion of the panelling in an inconspicuous spot in the room to determine which method was used to install the panelling. Some people only tack it into place with small, finishing nails, while others glue the panelling to the wall for a secure installation. Glue will be much more difficult to remove and could further damage the walls and panelling in the process. If the panelling is too difficult to remove, covering or painting it may be a smarter option. Small nails can be removed by pulling at the panels. Spackle holes before painting over the walls. Panelling is an inexpensive decorating option that was first popularized 40 years ago. Though less popular now, panelling still shows up in homes and can be remedied with some relatively easy tips.

Smaller living spaces often involve getting creative with storage because storage space in small quarters is often at a premium, and thinking creatively is a necessity to keep the home tidy and items out of view.
Rainy days are the perfect times to tackle indoor organization projects. When the outdoors isn’t beckoning, you can devote your attention to addressing storage issues in your home. To begin, take inventory of what you have, going through your possessions and determining what can stay and what can go. Part with anything you haven’t used in quite some time. The next step is to sort items and get organized. Then you can find a place for everything. For example, if you have a dozen bath towels but only one sauce pot, you will need to find more room for linens than kitchen cookware. You may need to borrow space from one area of the home to give to another area. The following are some additional tips to increase space in an otherwise cramped home.
Add shelves. Increase cabinet and closet space by adding shelves into them. This may double or even triple the amount of usable space, especially if you customize the shelving to fit storage containers you use to store everything from shoes to craft items. Opt for dual-purpose furniture. Benches with lids that lift up and sofas that convert into guest beds are just a few of the many ways you can keep a small home neat and increase storage space. An ottoman is a great place to store extra blankets and linens, while a trunk or crate with a sturdy top can be used in lieu of a traditional coffee table to keep books or board games. Think vertically. When floor space is at a premium, you may need to look up for storage. Frequently used pots and pans can be hung from a decorative rack in your kitchen. Use magnets on jars to store a spice rack on the wall near the stove. Racks above cabinets or on doors can be used to store everything from shoes to jewelry to toiletries. Shelving in children’s rooms can store lesser used toys away from the floor. Empty walls are valuable real estate in a small home, and tall bookshelves can house a number of different things. Take advantage of oddly shaped crevices. If you have space under a staircase or a spot by a dormer or in an attic eave, use the space to store items. You may need to get creative, such as adding a door and small closet into the staircase, but such spaces make practical storage areas and add character to a home. Continued on page 27

Continued from page 26 Use see-through storage containers. Many people find that plastic storage bins are neater and more stackable than boxes. Seethrough bins enable you to quickly find items so that you are not searching around the house for lost items and creating a bigger mess along the way. Clear storage containers work in the refrigerator, too. You can more easily spot leftovers, and uniform stacking containers free up more room for bulkier items. Make use of space beneath your bed. There likely is ample room to store more things than just dust bunnies beneath your bed. A bed frame with built-in drawers is the perfect place to keep bed linens and out-of-season clothes. Beds can be raised on blocks to create more space underneath for storing rolling plastic containers and even seldom-used suitcases.
Opt for an armoire. Armoires are not exclusive to bedrooms. Armoires can be used in dining spaces or in dens to store items out of sight. An armoire can be used when retrofitted with a pull-out shelf as a laptop desk, storing all office items behind closed doors when not needed. Improve storage in the bathroom. Try to choose a vanity that has under-thesink storage so you will have a place to store some toiletries. Consider cabinets that can be placed above the toilet tank as a storage space for bathroom items. In the shower, hang a second tension-loaded shower curtain rod on the inside of the shower enclosure that can be used to hold bags of kids bath toys and other toiletries, keeping them off the tub ledges. When you think creatively, you can maximize storage space even in a small home.

Chicago’s event was the last on the 2015 World Triathlon Series schedule. For more info, see wts.jabra.com/index.html
Road woes for Chiefs
The Chilliwack Chiefs took a tough spin through the Interior division last weekend, going 0-2-1 in games against Merritt, Vernon and Salmon Arm. The BCHLers led off Friday night with a game against the Centennials. In the cozy confines of Merritt’s Nicola Valley Arena the Chiefs fell 4-3. Jordan Kawaguchi, Ryan Roseboom and Jeremy Germain had the Chilliwack goals, with Colin Grannary, Michael Regush, Nick Fiorentino and Zak Bowles replying for the Cents. Matteo Esposito got his first BCHL start in goal, stopping 31 of 35 shots. Espo’s Chiefs carried on to Vernon Saturday where they were bombed 8-3 by the Vipers. Ex-Chief Darren Rizzolo got the scoring started with a power play goal just 2:15 in and the home side led
4-0 after one period. Goalie Aidan Pelino had a short night, leaving 5:10 into period one after making just one save on four shots. Esposito took over, stopping 21 of 25 pucks the rest of the way. Jesse Lansdell, Vimal Sukumaran and Mark Esposito scored the Chief goals. The road trip ended in Salmon Arm Sunday afternoon. Pelino was back between the pipes, earning second star honours in a 4-4 tie. Pelino faced 48 shots, stopping 44. His Chiefs got goals from Sukumaran, Jake Smith, Linden Hora and Kawaguchi.

Grizzlies bomb top-ranked Bulldogs
● Ben Sharf’s time in Chilliwack was short. After just one game the New York native has been traded to the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Fort McMurray Oil Barons in return for future considerations. ● The Chiefs welcome the BCHL world to Prospera Centre this weekend for the league’s annual Showcase. Each of the league’s 17 teams will play twice. Chilliwack faces Penticton Friday and Victoria Saturday. Both are 7:30 starts.
Preseason prognosticators of high school football are scrambling to revise their rankings after GW Graham laid a beating on the John Barsby Bulldogs last Friday. The Nanaimo powerhouse, considered
by many to be the top team in the AA ranks, was bombed 33-0 by the Grizzlies at Exhibition Stadium. GWG was dominant on both sides of the ball and could have topped 50 points had head coach Laurie Smith left his starters in for the duration. “It’s very satisfying to go from a 61-0 loss to these guys in the 2013 preseason to this, and it’s a great moment for our program,” Smith said. “I’m particularly proud of our linemen, who are quickly distinguishing themselves
from any other team in BC.” The GWG big boys paved the way for running back Von Richardson to rumble for 101 yards and two touchdowns. They kept quarterback Gabe Olivares remarkably clean, and he was able to dissect the Bulldog D through the air. With surgical precision he completed 13 of 16 passes for 172 yards and two majors. Baker Douglas and Emerson Smith were on the receiving end of scoring strikes from
The highest tech.
Olivares. Tyler Sprott led the pass catchers, hauling in four balls for 81 yards. As impressive as the offence was, the defence was scary good. Nanaimo’s playmakers were made to look ordinary by a swarming group led by Richardson. He had nine tackles. Cainen Bergh had seven. Ethan Mastin chipped in with five plus a fumble recovery. Tristan Davis had an interception.
The Grizzlies have one more preseason showdown looming before the regular season starts. They’re in New Westminster Friday to face the AAA powerhouse Hyacks and open the regular season slate on the road Oct. 9 with a game against the Robert Bateman Timberwolves. GWG’s home opener is Oct. 16, with a 7:30 kickoff against the Rick Hansen Hurricanes at Exhibition Stadium. See bchighschoolfootball.com for scores and schedules.

ing 56-7 and the ambulance taking time to arrive at Exhibition Stadium, the game officials decided to call it a day. The Huskers saw their record fall to 0-8 while Langley improved p to 5-3. The Rams thoroughly clobbered the Huskers in the 39 minutes that they played, generating 601 yards of net offence. Langley’s ground game pounded out 325 yards on 24 carries, averaging 13-plus yards on each touch of the ball. Jacob Patko carried nine times for 110 yards and a touchdown. Ryan McDonald picked up 84 yards and a score on just three carries, one of them a 67 yard run. Quarterback Dylan Tucker also scrambled for a major. Langley’s passing attack was less efficient.
Tucker completed 11 of 20 for 276 yards and three touchdowns. He was also intercepted once by Husker defender Cody Lawlor. Chilliwack’s offence gained just 58 net yards. Quarterback Noah Q Falconer completed six of 24 passes for 44 yards. He was inter cepted twice, but Husker head coach Adam Smith saw signs of progress from his first-year pivot. “Noah is coming along well, with good reads and a quick release,” the bench boss noted. “With two of our starting receivers out for the year he just had too many passes dropped.” The Husker ground game produced 20 yards on four carries. The home team’s lone touchdown was a spectacular 104 yard kickoff return by Ryan Beaubien.

MENZIES, Hazel (Nee Freeman) December 1, 1928 - September 1 2015 Hazel Louise Menzies (nĂŠe Freeman) passed away peacefully in the presence of her family on the evening of September 1, 2015 at Menno Home in Abbotsford. She was able to continue living in her own home until two years ago, thanks to the commitment of her son George, who lived with her since the passing of her beloved husband, David Menzies, in 2001. Hazel lived, worked, raised her family and volunteered extensively in the Fraser Valley for her whole life. Born December 1st 1928 in her home on Topham road in Milner (Langley), Hazel was the youngest of seven in a religious farming family. She played the piano in the local Sunday school and received the Citizenship Award at Langley High School in grade 10, 11 and 12. Tragedy struck her family at this time during WWII, when she lost her brother Flight Sergeant William Freeman, December 9, 1944, in a training accident in the Royal Canadian Air force. However, Hazel carried on, enrolling in Normal School to become a teacher, where her future husband David was drawn to her while playing the piano. They married October 16, 1948 and started raising their family in Columbia Valley, Cultus Lake and Sardis, where David taught school and Hazel taught piano lessons at home. Hazel played the organ and sang in the Cultus Lake Church Choir, at Coqualeetza Hospital Chapel services and later at the Carman United Church Services in Sardis B.C. for almost 50 years. She accompanied instrumental and vocal soloists at all levels, and played for musicals, choir festivals, and led the Carman Junior choir for a few years. She also played for many years in the recorder group led by Mr. Dale Warr. Hazel and David shared a passion for education, music, community service and social justice. They were avid and well-informed community activists who worked together to protect farmland and foster community well-being in the Fraser Valley. They volunteered with the local school PTA, Meals on Wheels for seniors, and gave many donations to local, national and international aid and human rights organizations. Hazel served as a regional fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society during her service with them for over 20 years, and was present when Terry Fox first proposed his dream for the Marathon of Hope. Hazel also volunteered for over two decades at the Mountain Institution of the Correctional Service of Canada, spending most of her Saturday evenings helping prepare inmates for their release into the community. Hazel and Dave were members of the NDP for 45 years and Hazel supported Dave in running as a candidate in the federal election in 1974. Hazel is survived by her all six of her children: Ray, Bob, Barbara, George, John and Janet, as well as her twelve grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, who live throughout North America, from Santa Barbara to Kitimat. She supported and encouraged her children and grandchildren to excel in music, athletics, academics and outdoor skills such as camping and fishing. Hazel was a true communitarian and will live on in the thoughts and actions of those who knew her. Hazel Menziesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; funeral service will be held in Carman United Church at 1 pm on Saturday, October 3 with a tea to follow at Yarrow Community Hall and graveyard interment in Carman Cemetery on Promontory Road, Vedder Crossing at 5 pm. A high school bursary is being arranged to accept donations in lieu of flowers.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our loving Dad, Grandpa, Brother, Uncle and Friend, Arne Peder Poulsen on September 13, 2015 at Vancouver, BC. Survived by his children; Patti (Randy) Isaak; Tony (Tracey) Poulsen; Karen (Harry) Hubner; Lori (John) Pazar. His grandchildren; Dustin (Amy), Dayna (Rob), Eric, Travis, Amber, Jessie, Alex, Jakob and Paige. Great grandchildren; Madyson, Mackenna, Molly, Gavin, Anora, Kassidy, and Kyla. Sister Kirstene and several nieces and nephews in Denmark. Predeceased by his brothers Verner, Oskar, Ejner ; sister Helga and both his parents. Dad was born January 26, 1927 in Lunde, Denmark the youngest of six children. In 1950 at a young age he got the travel bug and travelled to the United States on a farming visa. He worked in Wisconsin and California before having to return to Denmark. In 1956 he returned this time to Canada and worked on farms in Alberta before taking a trip to Vancouver with another farmhand. When his money ran out in the city he took the train to Chilliwack to find work on a farm in the Fraser Valley. It is here that he settled and became a Canadian citizen. He worked for a time on the railway but ultimately retired from the DND as a civilian on the base in Chilliwack in 1992. Dad was a quiet man, so organized and very independent. He loved his family and was always there for everyone. He never missed an opportunity to go for a coffee but by far his greatest joy came from spending time with his children and grandchildren enjoying the many family dinners that we all shared together. He was a proud man and we are thankful that he was able to enjoy a lifetime of good health as his independence was of the utmost importance to him. Rest in Peace Dad. No service at this time by request. In lieu of flowers donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. or charity of your choice would be appreciated. - you will be forever in our hearts McLean’s, (604)847-3477
