A young student gardener picks up his Chilliwack Fair prizes and gift pack, at the Chilliwack Schools Gardens awards night. The 111-year-old program will start up again in February. JESSICA PETERS/ PROGRESS

Planting the seed with young gardeners Jessica Peters The Progress Back when George Epp was in grade school, the Chilliwack Schools Garden Program cost one dime to join. “And they were called Victory Gardens,” he said, when people were encouraged to grow their own food to help with the war efforts. “Mr. Rennie was running the program and to get the seeds we had to pay 10 cents,” he said. “Well. Suffering cats! To get it back we had to pick the weeds.” The judges would come around and make sure their gardens were growing nicely,

and eventually, the finest gardens would win awards for their owners. That was the 1940s, and not much has changed today. The cost has increased, but only to $2 per child. That covers the program’s costs of seeds, advertising and prizes. Today, around 200 student gardeners enrol each year. They can grow gardens of any size, from small patio containers to larger crops. They can enter as individual, or as a pair to split up the workload. Their bounty is not only judged by a helpful panel of experienced gardeners, including gardening expert Jack Kouwenhoeven. It’s also entered into the Chilliwack

Fair, where the kids can earn prize money. The 111-year-old Chilliwack Schools Garden Program celebrated their annual awards night on Sept. 23, at Cheam elementary. Epp was one of several presenters, who handed trophies and smiles over to eager young gardeners. The program is open to students from public and private schools, as well as online learners. Several of them showed up to receive their awards, hear the speakers, and meet other young gardeners. They also got to hear from a past student gardener who has “crossed over” to be on the group’s committee.

Megan Krabbendam was in the program throughout school. As emcee for the night’s ceremony, she offered up some advice to the young audience. “I would definitely encourage you to keep coming back here,” she said, and with practice, the gardeners will get “better and better.” “If you don’t get called up tonight, don’t worry, maybe you will next time,” she said. Registration for the next season will begin around February and March, with the seeds and information distributed in late April. To learn more about the program, visit garden.sd33.bc.ca.

Chilliwack residents took a step toward creating a more energized and active city on Wednesday. But the next move is their own, said neighbourhood activist and author Jim Diers. Diers was invited by the City of Chilliwack to share his experience in building more caring, more resilient, and more responsive communities in Seattle. Born in Burnaby, Diers has been working with individuals and community groups to reclaim and reinvigorate neighbourhoods by channeling the enthusiasm and ingenuity of the people who live there. “There is incredible, untapped power in our communities,” Diers told a crowded Rotary Theatre at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. He said governments have a role to play, but ultimately it is up community members to identify their needs and mobilize the resources necessary to meet their collective goals. Diers is no stranger to this effort. He began work in the 1980s and his ideas have since spilled into 17 other countries. And they’ve seen results. One example is an innovative partnership between local government and community groups. Governments agree to provide funding for a community initiative that is matched to the number of volunteer hours groups are willing to commit. Since its inception in 1989, the “Neighbourhood Matching Fund” has mobilized tens of thousands of volunteers and completed more than 5,000 community projects. By working together, communities can make their neighbourhoods safer, healthier, and more sustainable, said Diers. He offered a few tips on how to make that happen.

Purple lights illuminate awareness, education and support Sam Bates The Progress Purple lights have shone in Chilliwack for six Octobers now. They are a beacon of hope and a way to spark a necessary conversation. The essence of that conversation hasn’t changed, “domestic violence has no place in our community,” Beverly Coles explains. Domestic Violence Awareness Month began with the Purple Light Nights tree-lighting on October 1 at Ken’s Tire & Wheel on Alexander Ave. Purple Light Nights arose in Covington, Washington in 2007 to address the need to provide the community with awareness and edu-

cation of healthy relationships, and to support and honour victims of domestic violence. Coles, Specialized Victim Assistance coordinator at Chilliwack Community Services, and member of the Violence Against Women in Relationships (VAWIR) committee, brought the campaign to Chilliwack, knowing that “yes, domestic violence happens in our community,” and no, it will not be ignored. Coles expressed the importance of bringing attention to the devastating impact that domestic violence has on victims, families and children, in our community and elsewhere. The campaign also serves to educate people about what a healthy relationship entails. Particularly for

youth entering relationships, it’s critical for them to consider “am I being respectful?” Of the 78,000 reported incidents of intimate partner violence against women in Canada in 2011, young women aged 15 to 24 were most at risk. For those living with abuse, the purple lights provide hope. They can choose to reach out for help in the manner that is safest for them, be it a trusted friend, a transition house, or an organization like Chilliwack Community Services (CCS). “It’s all about safety,” Coles explains “and showing them that they don’t have to be alone.” The campaign, which has spread across 28 states and three provinces,

has been successful in raising awareness thus far. “It’s become very wellknown, I can mention it to someone and, chances are, they’ve heard of it,” Coles explains. There are 650 purple light bulbs and, new to this year, 1000 wristbands available by donation at various locations in Chilliwack. As an indication of the campaign’s growth, the bulb demand increases every year. The VAWIR committee invites members of the community to use purple, the anti-violence colour, through bulbs, wristbands, clothing or storefront decor to show their support and spark the conversation from October 1 to 31. Pick up a bulb and a band at a

Calling all breastfeeding mothers Sam Bates The Progress In case you haven’t heard, Chilliwack moms are kind of legendary. The 15th annual Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge returns Saturday, October 3. Thousands of mothers across the globe will gather in public spaces to breastfeed their children. This “friendly competition” challenges each site to see which geographic location will have the most breastfeeding babies “latched on” at the same time. And though every breastfed baby is a winner, Chilliwack is a real front-runner. Of the 4,560 children who were part of last year’s count, 213 of them were dining here in Chilliwack, more than any of the other 214 sites worldwide. “Our participation [last year] earned us first place, but it was also a great time for the community to come together and support nursing moms and their little ones,” said Avril Field, Chilliwack Breastfeeding Challenge event organizer for this year. The challenge began in 2001, when a total of 856 babies at 26 sites across B.C. breastfed from their moms simultaneously to celebrate breastfeeding and milk-banking. The challenge continues today to provide mothers with an opportunity to socialize and gain support from other breastfeeding moms, and to promote breastfeeding as a best practice for babies. The expert recommendation is for exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, followed by continued breastfeeding for two years and beyond together with adequate complementary feeding. Despite the proven health benefits of breastfeeding, many women wean their children prematurely in part due to a lack of acceptance and community support. The challenge supports mothers in their breastfeeding goals, and utilizes public venues as challenge sites, which promotes breastfeeding as “a positive, natural process for moms and babies, that is appropriate whenever and wherever babies are hungry,” Field explained. At 11 a.m. local time around the world, babies will latch on and mothers will raise their hands for the “official count.” Field invites all local breastfeeding mothers to join the challenge. “Feeding babies is

Arson suspected in house fire The Chilliwack Fire Department is investigating a potential case of arson that happened early Thursday morning. Just before 5 a.m. firefighters from two halls were called out to a home in the 45000 block of Lewis Avenue. People inside the home awoke to the smell of smoke and quickly ran outside. After calling 911 they tried unsuccessfully to douse the fire with a garden hose. Firefighters arrived to see smoke and flames billowing from the front of the two-story house, and quickly got the fire under control. The house suffered structural damage on the inside and outside, including the roof. There were no injuries, and the residents of the home are being cared for by Emergency Social Services. The fire department confirms that the fire appears to have been deliberately set and is under investigation. Anyone with info is asked to phone the RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crimestoppers (anonymously) at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). They can also log on to chilliwackcrimestoppers.ca

A 24-year-old man is in police custody after allegedly hitting a woman with his car. The 25-year-old woman was walking in the 45400 block of Wellington Avenue in downtown Chilliwack around 1:30 a.m. Sept. 27 when she was struck. While she was rushed to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police pulled over a grey car around Five Corners. The officer determined that the driver had been drinking alcohol and linked his erratic driving to the incident on Wellington Ave. “Police will be submitting a report to Crown Counsel of all circumstances of the incident for their assessment of criminal charges for impaired driving and operating a motor vehicle over .08 per cent (blood-alcohol content),” said Cpl. Mike Rail.

News Minister cautious on local election changes Tom Fletcher Black Press Local politicians have called on the B.C. government to extend recall legislation to municipal halls and regional districts, after more than a decade of avoiding battles over voters trying to fire elected officials before their terms end. At their annual convention last week, mayors and councillors also passed resolutions to ban corporate and union donations to local election candidates, and asked for legislation to prevent people from running for office in multiple communities. Communities Minister Peter Fassbender, new to his job but a veteran of local politics, responded cautiously to the suggestions, particularly the idea of extending recall. “I think very often recall becomes something where it is seen

as a weapon as opposed to something that actually makes a contribution,” Fassbender said in an interview. “And I think before we moved on anything we would want to have a fulsome discussion.” Delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention rejected the idea of recall in 1998 and again in 2003, but a new generation elected to fouryear terms supported the idea. Rookie Telkwa Mayor Darcy Repen sponsored the motion, arguing that the 2011 referendum to reject the harmonized sales tax “empowered the people,” and recall at the provincial level hasn’t encouraged “rabble rousers advocating for special interests.” Repen said his friends would have laughed if he had told them he was running for mayor, and if he’s no good at the job, the community shouldn’t have to put up

with him for four years. Vancouver Coun. Heather Deal spoke in favour of the UBCM’s latest call to restrict campaign donations, noting that donations from wealthy developers and unions in the city have now reached into the millions of dollars. View Royal Mayor David Screech got support for his resolution calling for a ban on running in more than one municipality. He said the same candidate has repeatedly run for mayor all 13 Victoriaarea communities, and

“the media was more interested in him than the legitimate candidates.” Central Saanich Mayor Ryan Windsor opposed the motion, noting that the perennial candidate got only 91 votes against him. Fassbender was also reluctant to take action based on one situation. “You really want to give some sober thought to it instead of just reacting to someone who is trying to create some controversy,” Fassbender said.

They try to maintain a difficult balance between taking on fundraising efforts and actually utilizing their expertise to care for homeless pets. “That’s the reason why we’re putting on the event,” Paul explains, “to help free them up to do the work they set out to do.” Paul arranged Tie One On without incurring any costs. The venue, entertainment, wine and food have all been generously donated for the event. And of the 200 neckties that she’s acquired over ten years, she painfully decided that, “I think

“We have to get creative to make a difference in the world,” says Lori Paul, and she is no stranger to creativity. A professional musician, vocal coach and a resourceful crafter, Paul has coordinated a unique fundraiser ‘Tie One On’ to bring attention and revenue to a local animal welfare organization, Community Animal Projects (CAP), that busily works under the radar in Chilliwack. In the evening of October 2, Paul will put her collection of more than 200 vintage and designer men’s neckties up for grabs for a cause that saves the paws. Ever since CAP helped Paul and her parents re-home a cat that they found living under their porch during a bitter winter two years ago, Paul knew she wanted to put on some form of fundraiser to thank CAP for all that they do. Since 2008, CAP founders Carolyn Pinsent and Jennifer Arnold have been donating their spare time to saving homeless animals from suffering, without much publicity. CAP doesn’t have a facility, they rely on generous donations for funding, and they have less than a dozen vol-

she’s constructed out of old rolling pins, she explains, “I like to take things that people no longer use and transform them into something useful and beautiful again.” The pro-conser vationist notion of making better use of what we already have is at the root of animal advocacy groups as well. “Help control the pet population.” “Spay and neuter your pets.” “Don’t breed or buy while shelter animals die.” In cooperation with other Chilliwack animal care groups, CAP approaches the problem of homeless pets from as many angles as possible. They assist financially-stressed families with veterinary costs, they attempt to re-home animals with volunteer foster care, and they help

R AESIDE

Rick Mercer’s Talking to Americans special once asked our neighbours to the south to condemn our government’s practice of setting our seniors adrift on ice flows. A glance around any Canadian community would confirm we don’t do that. If we did, we wouldn’t have hit this year’s tipping point: there are now more Canadians over 65 than under 15, for the first time ever. This will no doubt spark some concerned articles about our aging population, and even the possibility of “demographic collapse,” as though we were facing a childless wasteland of a future. We suggest that Canadian seniors will actually do pretty well in the coming years. There will be challenges, of course, but our country is wealthy, and not only do people generally want the best for their parents and grandparents, seniors are perfectly able to look after themselves. They’re a desirable demographic, much courted by politicians, thanks to the fact that they actually vote. No, if we’re seeing more seniors and fewer children, we might want to be careful in the coming years not to neglect the next generation. With a larger population retired and a smaller one replacing them in the workforce, we need to make sure that the children out there now are ready for the world they’ll inherit. It’s impossible to know with certainty what we’ll face in the future, but the next generations will certainly face challenges. They’ll be replacing many hands with few hands, as the number of children per family shrinks. They’ll have to be trained to work smart, not just hard. It’s going to be creativity, flexibility, and skill that wins out in the future. If we can’t make sure that the next generations are able to take their place in a globalized and often ruthless world economy, then who will take care of the growing ranks of seniors? Someone’s got to do it, and it will fall to those currently in elementary school. ~ Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Canada’s diminishing role on the international stage This week’s foreign policy debate was fascinating not only for some heated substance but for, more starkly, illusions of substance. Canada under PM Harper’s watch has been navigating some rocky ground on the international front, mostly of his own doing, and his toss-away comment that he and Barack Obama had a great relationship was, well, surprising at least. Obama is not a buddy-up kind of guy. He never followed the combo set out by Mulroney and Reagan or Bush and Blair. As Neil McDonald, senior correspondent for CBC put it, “Aloof is the word most often used to describe his (Obama’s) approach.” It’s not hard to figure out reasons why. Harper has remained a staunch supporter of Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu whose relationship with Obama has

cooled, especially after the nuclear deal with Iran which Netanyahu strongly condemned (as of course did Republicans). But on the world stage, it was a deal hailed by PM David Cameron in the U.K., UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and Pope Francis now back at the Vatican after his rock-star visit Margaret to the U.S. Even EVANS Russia’s Vladimir Putin was on board. The deal wasn’t perfect (what complicated nuclear deal is?), but Canada found itself on an isolated foreign affairs soap box with Israel. Harper hasn’t managed to endear himself to Obama over the Keystone XL pipeline either. Obama, under huge environmen-

tal pressure, vetoed the project earlier this year. The pipeline is proposed to run from Alberta to Nebraska where it would join existing pipelines. Harper famously (read infamously?) called it a “no-brainer” that the pipeline should be approved. Undiplomatic comments like that don’t go down well. A White House “no” means “no”. And just recently presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, no slouch when it comes to foreign affairs, said she is also opposed, calling the project a distraction in the fight against climate change. On that front, too, Harper hasn’t managed to enhance Canada’s standing on the world stage. The United Nations, which Canada was instrumental in founding 70 years ago at a time when the nation was universally applauded for our war effort, has been pressuring the Harper gov-

ernment to quit foot-dragging on the climate crisis. After Canada failed to win a coveted seat on the UN Security Council in 2010, Harper has been pretty dismissive of the UN. But it has cost us. Canada was once thought of as an honest broker, a middle power, a nation capable of using soft tactics to influence the global stage. But now, according to a leaked Foreign Affairs document, we’re losing our place at multilateral tables, we’re no longer the first-choice partner, and our credibility as a foreign aid donor country is waning and, along with it, influence. That ties in with a Canadian International Council’s report assessing Canada’s global engagement gap. According to authors Robert Greenhill and Meg McQuillan, Canada’s engagement as a share of GDP has fallen by half from 2.4 per

cent in 1990 to barely 1.2 per cent in 2014. Canada’s contribution is one third lower than the average of other medium-sized democracies and our global engagement is a whopping 40 per cent lower than the G-7 average. In fact, according to OECD and NATO statistics, our global engagement today is the lowest in modern Canadian histor y. We’ve been slowly shrinking; now we’re at the bottom of the heap. This week, giant geopolitical notables have gathered at the 70th UN General Assembly (Obama, Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping) but what is also notable is that there isn’t a Canadian minister or official in sight until October 3rd when deputy foreign affairs minister Daniel Jean addresses the assembly. Election campaigning or not, that’s not good enough.

First Sto:lo debate significant ly seen in the Sto:lo Nations efforts to host their first all-candidates debate on Monday Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. in the Sto:lo Resource Centre. This is being done in coordination with registration and engagement in Chilliwack and Hope’s Aboriginal community. With all of this in mind, I hope you’ll consider attending a historic debate next Monday at 7 p.m. Bring a friend and please encourage all local candidates to attend this inclusive and critical debate.

reach through her students, community and business leaders, and directly as Department Head, with many local and regional community and employment agencies. She seems to be the only candidate accepting invitations to address youth in secondary and middle schools during the election. Beyond these solid local relationships and roots, Seonaigh has a strong record of leadership on provincial, national, and interna-

tional boards, including many in B.C., some based in Alberta and Manitoba, and some in Ottawa. This means that she has good knowledge of the local, Western region and Canada overall to serve as a strong Member of Parliament capable of linking local with regional and national interests. We elect Members of Parliament to serve our interests, but also to serve the interests of our region and the countr y. They need

strong credentials — expertise, experience, and knowledge — to be in a position to assume leadership roles in Ottawa. Other wise, they are condemned to backbencher oblivion. MacPherson offers the best choice for a Member of Parliament to represent the needs of Chilliwack-Hope, B.C., the west, and Canada in what may well be the first New Democratic government in Ottawa. Clifford Roulston Chilliwack, B. C.

Campaign promises not enough Very often over the years I find myself voting for the person or party that is the lesser of the evils presented to us. The odd time I have found a candidate or party that at that juncture of time seems to be what the countr y needs and deserves. Even then I have felt betrayed as happened when I voted for Diefenbaker all those years ago. The Avro Arrow demise is where I feel he let Canada down. Jumping ahead to today and our present bunch of leadership hopefuls Mulcair should be the one a pensioner like me

might want to vote for as he promises all sorts of things to benefit seniors. Nevertheless I cannot in good conscience vote for him as his promises would be harmful to Canada in the long run as he would have to run a big deficit to finance such promises. As for Trudeau I don’t think he has the foggiest idea what is entailed in running a business let alone a country. Justin also promises all sorts of goodies for seniors and he too would have to go heavily into hawk to pay for his promises. I am not totally in love with the Conservatives as although

Harper has done quite well with the finances he has brought in some really doubtful characters to the senate and into cabinet. Once again I will be voting for the lesser of the evils especially in our riding where none of the candidates have a lot to offer other than to back their leader in the Commons. At this time I think doing well with the finances trumps all the promises to different groups who just want to promote their own special interests. Bowman Blythe Sardis

Local relationships important I notice the local Liberal candidate continues to emphasize his local business and board experiences and as his primary qualification for federal office. To me, these look like credentials for someone running for municipal office, not for a federal MP. The NDP candidate, Seonaigh MacPherson, has been very engaged in Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley region since joining UFV as a professor and department head. She has out-

we can judge at the conclusion of this federal election cycle. No doubt each of these factors will add footnotes to our history, but another interesting trend has also taken shape on the national stage, one that I at least hope is a sign of positive relations to come. The increased engagement and (hopefully) voting turnout of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada is being much anticipated this election and could have significant impact here in our riding of Chilliwack – Hope. This effort is most recent-

This election has been marked by a number of unique and defining characteristics. Both the length of this election along with the substance and variety in debates immediately come to mind. Also of note however is the number of initiatives seeking to inform our vote with specific issues or ends in mind. Organization around the CBC or Canada Post has been visible in many ridings, and highly organized efforts are being made around strategic voting. The success, and even the merits of these initiatives are something

point of special events. Motivating people is never easy, Diers said; you need to speak their language. You have to tap their networks, discover their passions, and reach them at a block-by-block level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can tap into what people are passionate about they are more likely to get involved,â&#x20AC;? he said. That can be a challenge in an isolated world, where many of us spend more time online or in front of the television. A way around that is to create â&#x20AC;&#x153;bumping areasâ&#x20AC;? within the community where neighbours are more likely to bump into each other, share ideas and discuss issue. That can be as simple as childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play areas, or a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Free Libraryâ&#x20AC;? like the one recently introduced in on Garrison Crossing neighbourhood. With any community project, said Diers, it is important to aim for results. Saving the world may be a noble goal, but it might be better to choose something a bit more achievable, like construction of a community garden or the reclamation of a vacant lot. Whatever the task, use all the human resources at your disposal, he said. That means ensuring all

members of the community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; regardless of what label (elderly, at-risk, homeless) has been assigned to them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have a role to play in the project. Everyone has unique talents and special gifts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Focus on those gifts and they become citizens of our community.â&#x20AC;? Using these tools, neighbourhoods can make themselves safer, more engaged and better positioned to respond to an emergency or a disaster. He gave the example of Christchurch, New Zealand. Devastated by an earthquake in 2011, the city was left scarred by vacant lots where buildings once stood. Some lots were turned into meeting areas, other gardens, and one a dance floor were residents could plug their iPod into a Dance-O-Matic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an abandoned washer that was now equipped with speakers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There, in the middle of devastation, people were dancing,â&#x20AC;? he said Diers urged participants to initiate their own ideas and not wait for government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to build this movement,â&#x20AC;? he said. His urging has already had an effect. Coun. Chris Kloot, one of four city councillors at the meeting, is calling on volunteers to help organize a Rosedale community day.

TIE from page 7 to humanely control the feral cat population with a trap, neuter, release (T.N.R.) method. CAP also manages a pet food bank service, builds fences to provide pets with a safe space to roam, and their Guardian Angel program assists with vet costs for senior pets in foster care. Pinsent knows that the overpopulation of animals is overwhelming, “but we just have to keep working at it.” The small organization recognizes the need for growth in order to continually help animals in crisis, but their growth needs to start from within. Without a facility for volunteers to run, CAP would most benefit from a stream of creative fundraising efforts, like Paul’s. There is also a continual demand for those who can warmly foster pets during the re-homing process. There are talks of a future CAP “training bootcamp” for volunteers to learn the challenging T.N.R. method and how to manage re-homing efforts. “We’ve spearheaded programs that are unique and different, and we hope to one day pass them on to like-minded people,” says Pinsent. On a broader level, Pinsent and Arnold stress the importance of creating a shared responsibility.

“Too soon, the shelters we build become full when they are used as an answer for all the communities’ unwanted and unfortunate animals,” Arnold says. “Animal issues can only be tackled successfully by a community of individuals who are willing to take responsibility for dealing with the issues around companion animals, instead of expecting any one group to figure it out for them.” If you are an animal advocate who is seriously committed to helping vulnerable animals in our community, pick up a CAP

brochure from local vets (including Sardis Animal Hospital, Cottonwood Veterinary Clinic) to learn more about the organization and to reach out. Paul hopes that her fundraiser might inspire others to follow suit. As she explains, it’s important to support and celebrate the good people out there doing good work to help the vulnerable among us, whether they are an animal, a child, the elderly or otherwise.

Volunteers worked through a rainstorm on Friday to complete the first phase of reconstruction of the Sto:lo Elders Garden on Topaz in Sardis. JESSICA PETERS/ PROGRESS

Garden’s potential brought to fruition Jessica Peters The Progress The garden at the Sto:lo Nation Elders Lodge has been given a new lease on life. Last week, the quiet and secluded garden got a facelift from the ground up. It started with moving around the soil and rebuilding beds, and it culminated in a planting blitz in the pouring rain on Friday. Volunteers turned up to do the work, so that the elders living in the seniors home could eventually get back to nature. They did the heavy lifting and planting, donating both their time and materials. To rebuild the beds, they used wood that was already on site, adding curves and welcoming touches throughout the

plots. Helen Paul, who helped organize the garden’s rebirth, said the hope was that one day soon the Sto:lo elders will be able to return to gathering fruits, herbs and vegetables. They can teach younger generations the importance of each plant, and share stories in the newly-renovated garden. And everyone with access to the garden will have access to fresh, safe foods. The project was a partnership between Sto:lo Nation and the Fraser Valley Permaculture Guild. “This just marries really well with a lot of Sto:lo values,” Paul said. “Honouring the land, and honouring the plants. Humans owe it to nature to

take good care of it, she points out, as we are completely reliant on the land to survive yet no species needs us. “Everything on the earth can survive without us,” she said, so we have to seek out a “reciprocal relationship” with nature. “This teaches us, reminds us, that Mother Earth gives us every we need,” she said. There is also no need for anyone to go hungry, Paul noted, when there are capable hands to work the land. “We were never really hungry before,” she said, with early fishing and farming practices. “We’ve kind of lost touch with that.” And in the process of growing your own food, she said, you’re helping address food insecurity concerns.

Now that the garden plots are rebuilt, and redesigned to be more welcoming and soothing, Paul can envision a day when elders hold sharing circles, visit with family, and offer teachings. This was already starting to happen throughout the week, as the volunteers worked tirelessly. The garden is also a tribute to an elder who has since passed away, John McIntyre. “This was his dream,” Paul said. They will be leasing out some of the garden space, and will be eventually expanding to create a food forest and a greenhouse. All of the work, again, will be done by volunteers. By next summer, residents will have fresh and free access to foods like blueberries and straw-

berries, medicinal and indigenous plants, along with herbs like lavender and thyme. The garden will also use good land management practices, including low impact rainwater management. And in the end, it will act as a bridge between the elders and the rest of the community. From the Sto:lo Elders Garden, visitors can look across a farm field and see the Coqueleetza site, while the adventurous can now walk a trail that circles the entire field. “We want to convince people that gardening can be beautiful,” Paul said.

the Community Futures program and services, while demonstrating innovation and unique creativity in Aboriginal economic development.” The initiative has led to several successful ventures already, she added. They partnered with the Bank of Montreal in 2014, who pledged $100,000 in lending to qualifying Aboriginal businesses and entrepreneurs, under a unique micro loan program for small start ups. That program has been so successful, Hardman added, that BMO has now committed to $400,000 to it. And in October last year, Vancity announced their pledge of $1 million, for the development of a new the Stó:lo Community Loan Fund, also to be managed by SCF, for Stó:o Community-owned businesses. The latest award was presented to Michael Watson, general manager at SCF, at the annual meeting in Kimberley. There are 34 Community Futures offices in B.C., and this is the second time in five years that the Sto:lo program has earned a top award. “For our local Aboriginal business owners, this is a recognition of the growing economic vibrancy and positive impact that Aboriginal businesses are having on local economies throughout the Fraser Valley,” explained Hardman. Watson noted the significance of the Community Futures awards. “This is the second time within five years, that SCF has been recognized as the leading Community Futures office in BC. In 2010, SCF was recognized with the Minister’s Award of Excellence and Innovation from Western Economic Diversification, for the LEED Gold certified Stó:lo Resource Centre, which was overseen and project-managed by SCF. The Minister’s Award this Year, is very important, and a recognition of the phenomenal growth occurring in the local Aboriginal business community and Stó:lo economy” explained Watson.

Ornamental kale brings colour to your winter garden Once this wonderful fall weather shifts into the shorter, darker, wetter and cooler days of winter, we will all be looking to add some brighteners to our gardens and containers. We will need plants that Brian have MINTER some brilliance, toughness, hardiness and blend well with other winter colours. Some of the most overlooked plants are the ornamental kales and cabbages that are used so much around the world, but not so much here. Heavy winter rains can cause damage on some of the very full-headed varieties, particularly when they are planted out in the open. If these same varieties are placed under the eaves of our houses, they will stand up very well. There are, however, varieties that will thrive out in the weather. More open-growing varieties, like the ‘Coral’ and ‘Peacock’ series, stand up far better because, rather than trapping rain, they will allow water to simply flow through. All their colours, whites, pinks and deep purples, are vibrant and make an exquisite show. I also find that the later planted, smaller headed varieties have rather loose heads and do not hold water. The smaller four inch pots are ideal to mix in with containers and established plantings. The secret to having them look their best is colour blocking them together in groups. Whites, pinks and purples look so good together and create a brilliant winter display. Complementary companions are winter violas, pansies and dusty miller. Evergreen grasses, such as carex, acorus and fescues, blend beautifully with ornamental kale and cabbage and make great focal points. Flowering kale is also a great accent

Community

Watch the mud fly on Saturday On Saturday, October 3 at Dickland Farms in Chilliwack, hundreds of individuals will run, climb, jump and crawl through 14 obstacles over a 5 km course as part of Muck MS Canada - the MS Society of Canada’s mud run series. Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world and Muck MS Canada is a challenge for participants to help end MS by tackling obstacles such as the Beams, Mud Slide, and Culvert Crawl. “It was a really touching how everybody was really passionate about the cause and regardless of how mucky they got, they all made it through,” said Victoria Grady, Muck MS participant from 2014. “It was really inspiring to go and see that.”

Joanne Craven, a volunteer at last year’s event who also lives with MS, agreed. “It was a very uplifting feeling to see people excited to cross the finish line,” she said. “My friend Connie and I gave out medals at the finish line and we both were in scooters and it was so funny because people crossing the line were soaking wet covered in mud and they were like ‘oh can I hug you’!” Muck MS Canada is a fun and challenging event that participants can do with friends, family, and co-workers, and is accessible for all fitness levels and ages. Once participants have conquered the course, they will enjoy postevent refreshments, trade stories and take part in celebrations at

the finish line. While there are other mud runs in the market, Muck MS Canada has a direct connection to an important cause. Funds raised from the event are invested in the MS Society of Canada’s

mission – to support vital MS research and crucial services for Canadians affected by the disease. For more information about the MS Society and to make a donation, visit mssociety.ca.

purple), ‘Winter Bor’ (a green version of ‘Red Bor’) and ‘Laciniato‘ (a greensilver showpiece) - are three shining lights. If they have sun, they can take –20°C in their stride. All three are magnificent. Classy and elegant, they light up a winter garden. Curiously, they are also edible and delicious, especially after they’ve had a little touch of frost and for special occasions, they make a great decoration on a plate. There’s a wide selection of ornamental kale and cabbage now available in the Lower Mainland. As your garden begins to lose its colour, these ornamental and colourful brassicas will add fresh new life. Give them a try – it’s a perfect time for planting them. Remember to bury them deep so they look like flowers popping out of the ground.

Looking to make a difference in your community? The non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. needs several volunteers in Chilliwack for the fall session of its Minds in Motion program. The fitness and social program helps area Chilliwack residents who have early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. Participants can enjoy a weekly morning or afternoon session with a friend, family member or care partner. “It’s very rewarding work,” says Danielle Duvauchelle, the Society’s Minds in Motion coordinator for Chilliwack and the South and East Fraser. “You’re enriching the lives of others.” A certified fitness instructor conducts the fitness portion of the program. A facilitator ensures participants are involved in activities such as billiards, Wii and ping pong, or just enjoying social time and light refreshments in a relaxed atmosphere. In addition to helping others, volunteers have the opportunity to spend rewarding one-to-one time with participants and see first-hand how people’s lives are enriched by this program. Some experience working with older adults and basic knowledge of, or experience with, dementia would also be helpful. Minds in Motion takes place on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to noon at Cheam Leisure Centre, 45501 Market Way. For information on volunteering, contact Danielle Duvauchelle at the Alzheimer Resource Centre at 604-449-5010 or dduvauchelle@ alzheimerbc.org. To register as a participant, call 604-824-0231.

Back to back blanks The last Chiefs shutout was posted by Josh Halpenny in a 3-0 road win against Langley in October 2013, writes Jacob Bestebroer

Carter Cochrane celebrates his first goal of the season, scored last weekend against the Victoria Grizzlies. The 19 year old blueliner is back with the Chiefs after trying his luck in the WHL. DARREN FRANCIS PHOTO

Welcome back Carter Eric J. Welsh, The Progress During the second period of Wednesday night’s Chilliwack Chiefs 6-0 drubbing of Surrey, Carter Cochrane made his presence felt. Picking up the puck deep in his own end, the 19 year old blueliner turned on the jets and set his sights on the Eagles net. Few D-men in the BCHL can get from one end of the rink to the other faster than the Kamloops kid, and this rush ended in a blink behind the Surrey cage. Seconds later, teammate Ryan Roseboom walked out from behind the net and deposited the puck behind Jake LaForest for the fourth Chilliwack goal. This is the sort of thing

Cochrane can provide to the Chiefs — dynamic offence from a guy who doesn’t just join the rush but often leads it, playing like a fourth forward. The question is, will Chiefs bench boss Jason Tatarnic give Cochrane the green light to do his thing? “I don’t know if it’s a green light right now. Maybe a yellow light,” Cochrane laughed. “I think the way I play, I’ll take whatever I can get. Jason will probably say he’s got to rein me in a bit.” “At the end of the day I’m trying to do the job in the defensive zone first. If I can chip in offensively that’s great.” Cochrane last played in Chilliwack in 2013-14, before departing to the Western Hockey League. He split parts of two season between the

Everett Silvertips and TriCity Americans. Since he was last here his old coach, Harvey Smyl, is gone. Everyone else too, except... “Just Gooch (captain Jordan Kawaguchi), that’s it,” Cochrane said. “I texted him to tell him I was coming back. He was disappointed when I left and really excited to have me back because we’re pretty tight.” Not everything has changed since Cochrane last called Prospera Centre home. “Everywhere I look in the crowd I’m seeing fans I recognize,” he said. “They’re the best fans in the league hands down and it was nice feeling really welcome.” Injuries hastened Cochrane’s departure from the WHL, but Tatarnic believes the

defenceman is healthy and capable of being a true impact player. “He’s got offensive instincts and I think we’re going to give him some freedom,” the coach noted. “As time goes on he’ll have to learn when the right spots are and when the wrong spots are.” “But he seems to be a very coachable kid and this could be a fresh outlook for him.” Cochrane has one goal through three games and goes hunting for more this weekend in a key divisional home-andhome. His Chiefs are in Langley Friday night to face the Rivermen, playing the return match Saturday night at Prospera Centre. Puck drop is 7 p.m. See chilliwackchiefs. net or bchl.ca.

October 7-8, 2015 Abbotsford, BC

It took a little longer than 20 seasons, but for the first time while located in Chilliwack, the Chiefs have posted back to back shutouts. Saturday the Chiefs got a 27 save performance from Matteo Esposito to blank the visiting Victoria Grizzlies 4-0. Aidan Pelino turned away 18 shots Wednesday as the Chiefs easily handled the Surrey Eagles 6-0 at Prospera Centre. I can say with full confidence that no Chiefs goaltender has ever had an easier time posting a shutout than Pelino did Wednesday night. The Eagles have won just once in seven tries this season and look to be in tough to make the playoffs again. Of the 18 shots Surrey sent Pelino’s way, only one could be considered even remotely dangerous. And that’s being generous. The same could not be said for Esposito’s performance on Saturday. While things were fairly quiet for him in the game’s final two periods, he faced 17 shots in the first 20 minutes, five or six of which were quality scoring chances. A few more Chiefs related shutout notes. Prior to Saturday’s game the last Chiefs shutout was posted by Josh Halpenny in a 3-0 road win against Langley on Oct. 16 2013. The last Chiefs home shutout was also by Halpenny on March 2, 2013, a 2-0 win over the Cowichan Valley Capitals. As I’m sure most Chiefs fans know, the Chiefs have welcomed back two former Chiefs to the lineup. Defenseman Car ter Cochrane and for ward Mitch Skapski returned last

SHOW HOURS

weekend. Both spent some time in the Western Hockey League since we last saw them in a Chiefs uniform, and both are big additions to this team. Two seasons ago Cochrane had 16 goals and 47 points with the Chiefs as a 17 year old, so you can imagine what he can do now. Skapski left the team part way through his first season when he was just starting to find his stride. He plays with an edge and has the ability to score at this level. Give both of them a little time and I think we’ll start to see the impact they will have. Two games this weekend, both against the division rival Langley Riverman. Like they did were last season, I expect these teams to be within a few points of each other in the standings for most of the season. Chilliwack is two points up on the Rivermen right now but have played two more games. Both teams will be among the four Mainland division teams that make the playoffs so these head to head games are very important and don’t be surprised to see these teams meet in the playoffs. Chilliwack visits Langley Friday before the two teams meet at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack on Saturday. For the fourth straight year the BCHL Showcase went off without a hitch at Prospera Centre last weekend. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped out. This event doesn’t happen without you. You outworked everyone there. Good job.

In team events, six vaulters work together to perform a four minute freestyle routine with up to three of them on the horse at the same time. Making their debut in the team event were the members of Freedom’s newest team, competing at the novice walk level. Taking second place for their routine choreographed to California surfing tunes

were Mary Coates, Paige Joiner, Emma Doneagan, Ashley Dykstra and Jessica VanNuys. They competed on a Belgian gelding named Kilkenny, lunged by Barb Schmidt.

Team Justice competed in the intermediate canter division, wowing the crowd and grabbing gold with their super heroes routine. Hoping aboard Rosie, and lunged by Alisa Schmidt, the team consisted of Aleasha Meloshinsky, Jocey Vanderlende, Chelsea Wensley, Stephanie Struys, Railey Bird and Trinity Smadello. In the advanced canter team class, the first place award went to Team Epica aboard the Belgian gelding Promise, lunged by Barb Schmidt. The masqueradethemed routine was performed by Cassie Sponchia, Darla Ricka, Taylor Eamor, Alisa Schmidt, Samantha Kennedy and Shaylee Isaac-Edwards. Eamor and Sponchia also earned top honors in the advanced pairs routine, performing together on Duncan, lunged by Ali McKitrick. In the walk pairs division, Bird and Horvath won the silver medal aboard Wilson, lunged by Melissa Eamor. Most of these vaulters also competed in the individual vaulting event. In this section of the competition each athlete must perform a series of compulsory

exercises, followed by a one minute freestyle. At the highest level, there is also a one minute technical test involving a series of prescribed movements choreographed into a second freestyle routine. At the elite canter level, Freedom head coach Alisa Schmidt, who has represented Canada several times at the world championship level, earned the gold medal after achieving the highest scores for her performances on Promise. Wensley took gold in the advanced canter level on Promise, while teammate Taylor Eamor won bronze. In the intermediate canter division, Meloshinsky was second overall completing most of her tests on Rosie. Kennedy, in her first season at the novice canter level, won the silver medal aboard the Percheron gelding Cetoma, lunged by Lisa Coates. Dykstra won gold in the novice walk category while Horvath earned bronze in the intermediate trot division. The next appearance for the local vaulters will be Oct. 24 when they host Octoberfest 2015 at their home arena, Bit Crazy Stables in Chilliwack.

Three Chiefs on Central Scouting watch list Second year defenceman Dennis Cholowski and first year forward Kohen Olischefski are being watched by National Hockey League scouts. The NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Central Scouting Bureau released its preliminary player rankings earlier this week. Both Chiefs earned a C grade, which typically denotes a player taken in the fourth round or later. The BCHL had nine players on the CSB list. Penticton Vees forward

Tyson Jost and D-man Dante Fabbro each got A grades, which puts them in first round territory.

Other players in the C grade group include Liam Finley and Austin Cho of the Vernon Vipers, Ty Westgard

of the Surrey Eagles, Kyle Betts of the Powell River Kings and Colin Grannary of the Merritt Centennials.

Our headline mentioned three Chiefs getting listed. The third is recently graduated defenceman

Vincent Desharnais, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to start his freshman campaign at Providence. He is also seen as a

late-round prospect. The 2016 NHL Entry Draft will be held June 24-25 at First Niagara Center in Buffalo, N.Y.

TRADE UP

Peewee power Four players scored touchdowns and the defence was impenetrable as Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peewee Red Giants blacked Meadow Ridge 38-0. The minor football match was played last Saturday at Meadow Ridge. Austin Wegener, Travis Richley, Trent Cote and Sawyer Tether found the endzone. The strength of the offence was the line of Taylor Both, Tyler Kelly, Kai Manning, Dayton Roger, Logan Head, Matieus Chapman, jake Sonder vang, Dayton Baker and Evan Parsons. Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s D allowed just one first down the entire game. Raiden Mastin, Jaxson Visser, Ronan Cayer and Theo Smith produced tackles and quarterback sacks. Mastin also came up with an interception. â&#x2014;? Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blue Giants fell 36-12 to the Abbotsford Falcons in an atom clash. Down four starters, the G-Men didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back down. Callan Johnson led a kick coverage unit that kept Abby bottled up, and Keegan Mitchell returned a Falcon kick for a major. Carter Dallas scored the other Chilliwack TD on a quarterback sneak behind linemen Shea Khan and Jake Wood. Fullback Logan Duff was a blocking machine. Ridley Mastin and Brooklyn Groves-Vula were defensive standouts.

OBITUARIES

PATRICK, David

David Patrick passed away suddenly on September 21, 2015. Dave was 65 years old and he was born in Brighton England. Dave is survived by his wife Sandy, daughter Kyla (Mike), grandchildren Kiersten and Jenessa, daughter Tara (Mike), grandchildren Makenna, Kole, Brayden & Jayde. Dave’s joys in life were his children and grandchildren, coaching and refereeing soccer, dragon boat racing, movies and travelling. He will be very much missed by his family and friends.

Dave was a cancer survivor and in lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the Cancer Society. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2015 from 4:00 to 7:00 at the Evergreen Hall, 9291 Corbould Street, Chilliwack, B.C.

September 26, 1924 ~ September 19, 2015 In loving memory of our Mom, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend. Loved by many, Mom was blessed with a gentle helpful spirit, a loving smile, and a healthy active lifestyle. Laverne was born in Forestburg, Alberta to Peter and Regina Albrecht where she enjoyed a wonderful childhood growing up on a large farm. As a young girl Laverne was very active, she enjoyed school, and spending time with her siblings. In her early twenties Laverne moved with her parents to the Fraser Valley, and settled in Chilliwack. By 1948 Laverne met and married Lawrence Lambert (Larry). As a young hard working couple they owned and operated retail store outlets, while raising their family in Sardis. In the 1970’s Laverne was well known for her ability at splitting shakes. Then, during the 1980’s Laverne worked at Cultus Lake for the Parks Board, where she retired. Everyone was always welcomed at Mom’s, no matter what time of day or night she was always glad to see loved ones. Mom enjoyed getting together with friends and family for singalongs, games, and laughs. Mom loved the outdoors, picnics by the river, road trips, and even gold panning! Laverne loved music, she always sang and whistled at home. Mom recorded some of her own compositions. Two of her favorite hymns were “I Come to the Garden Alone”, and “His Eye is on the Sparrow.” Laverne belonged to the Golden Age Entertainers, as a group they performed at many senior centers in the Fraser Valley. The grandchildren loved to spend time with grandma learning to play the guitar and eating grandma’s homemade peanut butter cookies! Survived by her three daughters, Lois (Clark, Bryan, Kettering), Sandi (Weisbeck-Lambert), Sylvia (Anderson-Lambert), seven grandchildren, Chad (Dawn), Kelly (Ibeth), Rebbi (Jamie), Robert, Gordon (Ires), David (Jeanneth), Don, and seven great grandchildren, Chelaina, Cole, Cierra, Cheyenne, Leonardo, Aya, Charlie. Laverne was the youngest of thirteen siblings. She is survived by her sister Laurette Daisy Alexander and her sister in-law Polly Albrecht. Throughout her life, despite challenges, Mom always kept a positive attitude, a loving heart, and a forgiving spirit. Laverne passed away peacefully surrounded with family members in Menno Hospital in Abbotsford, BC on the evening of September 19th, 2015. A special thank you from family to all the Menno Hospital staff for the loving care and compassion you provided our Mom during her time with you. In keeping with our Mother’s wishes a small celebration of Laverne’s life will be held at a later date. We will always remember you with love, Mom. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to a charity of your choice. Online condolences to the family may be made to:

KNUDSEN, Gunnar Dad was born on November 2, 1922 in Struer, Denmark and passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 26, 2015 at Heritage Village, Chilliwack, B.C. Dad was predeceased by the love of his life, his wife Eva, and leaves surviving his daughter Lisbeth Kehl and son-inlaw Barry. In Denmark, he is survived by two younger brothers and nieces and nephews. In Denmark, Dad worked as a dairyman before World War II, was in the Danish Navy during the war and after the war became a postman. He and Mom married in 1951, had a daughter in 1953, and emmigrated to Canada in 1956. In Canada, Dad and Mom worked at various jobs in Edmonton, Alberta to established themselves and in 1966 moved to Victoria, B.C. In Victoria, Dad worked as a gardener for the Victoria School Board and the Victoria Parks Department. He was proud of the fact that he and his crew set up the Gorge Road Parkway. For many years Dad and Mom owned and operated Shirley McAree & Star Florist in Victoria (Mom the florist, Dad making deliveries and doing the accounting) earning an outstanding reputation. They retired to Gabriola Island and finally to Chilliwack. Dad and Mom loved their travels in their van conversion. They attended the Kimberley Accordion Festival every year and also travelled extensively in British Columbia and made trips to the Yukon and Alaska. Dad loved music and played the accordion and the organ. He began to oil paint in his late 70’s becoming quite good but eventually he had to give all of them up. Dad also loved to eat good food and particularly, Mom’s Danish smorgasbords with beer and “snaps” (aquavit). He often said that “Danes live to eat, not eat to live.” Thank you so very much to all of the staff at Heritage Village for their wonderful care, friendship and support over the past seven years. A Memorial Tea will be held at a later date. www.hendersonsfunerals.com Henderson’s Funeral Homes 604-792-1344
