Green light for Hemlock Resort plan Jessica Peters The Progress The Hemlock Resort Master Plan has been approved by the provincial government. This is one of the final hurdles the mountain’s management company, Berezan Management, will have to climb in an attempt to revitalize the mountain. They started creating the massive plan seven years ago, after purchasing the assets out of foreclosure. The plan includes a sizeable expansion

While the average number of skiers in 2010 was about 1,150 a day, the hill hopes to one day see 13,440 skiers on the hill each day. Hemlock Resort announced the news on Facebook on Friday morning, posting a letter sent to owner Ralph Berezan from the Ministry of Forest Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “Hemlock Resort has addressed

the concerns raised through the course of the review to FLNR’s satisfaction with amendments to the Master Plan and commitments that will be incorporated into the Master Development Agreement,” the letter states. “In the coming months, our office will be working with you to finalize the new MDA which will replace your existing agreement for the resort.” The finalizations will include working with Sts’ailes on the establishment of a First Nation
Woodland Licence over the Controlled Recreation Area, as well as support from the government in working with the Fraser Valley Regional District. The letter, attributed to Terry Pratt of the Mountain Resorts Branch, said the plan will bring “much-needed capital investment in recreational infrastructure and all season tourism opportunities.” Hemlock Resort congratulated management on securing the support of the government.

B.C.’s dairy farmers are taking a watchful waiting approach to Monday’s announcement of a Trans-Pacific Partnership. The federal government announced on Monday that it has entered into the final agreement of the TPP, which seeks to ease trade between 12 Pacific countries, including Canada, the United States, China and New Zealand. It has been seen as a threat to Canada’s supply management program for dairy producers, which helps ensure strength in that industry. The TPP, as presented on Monday, will grant market access to the other 11 countries in the TPP in an amount equal to 3.25 per cent of Canada’s 2016 milk production. That equals about 250 million litres of milk, says Trevor Hargreaves of the BC Dairy Association. But the government has also announced a series of compensation programs for dairy, poultry and egg producers and processors. Those programs would remain in place for 10 years, with a tapering off for another five years. “The three pillars of the supply management system will remain protected,” a Government of Canada announcement reads. Four separate programs equalling $4.3 billion are expected to fill in any shortfalls felt at farms and producers as the TPP is introduced. While dairy producers have rallied together over the last week as the trade negotiations were coming to a close, the BC Dairy Association reserved their criticism Monday, and even showed some optimism. “Time is needed to fully evaluate

WorkSafe BC continues to sound asbestos alarm Jessica Peters The Progress Each year, WorkSafeBC has the grim task of compiling its annual statistics book. It details trends among workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths. This year, they shone a spotlight on a troubling trend that’s on the rise — death from asbestos exposure. These are deaths that aren’t likely to ease in the near future, the stats book underlines. The reason? Exposure to the toxic asbestos that happens early in life, often with

young construction workers, can take decades to build into a disease. But with stricter guidelines in place, WorkSafeBC is hopeful that eventually those numbers will lessen. In the meantime, exposure is killing a disproportionate number of workers, accounting for almost half of all work related deaths last year. The 150-page report lists all deaths, broken down into age categories and industries, male and female workers, and other variables. From 2005 to 2014, they report
581 deaths in B.C. were related to asbestos exposure, with the majority of those workers dying before the age of 65. And that trend is likely to continue increasing as workers exposed to its deadly fibres get older, it states. Last year, one British Columbian died on an average of every five days from work-related exposure to asbestos. The compound of fibres is found in all sorts of building materials in homes that predate the mid-’80s. There are stringent rules and guidelines set out for removal of
asbestos materials, but those have been easily ignored by those willing to take the risk — and those unaware of the risks. The agency held a blitz in 2014, checking in on 210 sites with an inspection. They found that 43 per cent of hazardous material surveys were inadequate, often failing to detect asbestos that further tests proved was present. But WorkSafeBC has stepped up its efforts to educate the public about hazardous materials testing and removal. Still, because it can take decades for exposure to result in illness and death, it’s likely the

Aggressive callers pretending to be Canada Revenue employees RCMP are warning the public of criminals posing as Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) employees to solicit money. In each case the potential victim receives a telephone call from a male claiming to be a representative of the CRA. The caller accuses the victim of owing income tax and demands immediate payment either by credit card or prepaid credit card. If challenged the caller becomes aggressive, threatening the victim with arrest. “Police have recently experienced a rash of such complaints in Chilliwack. The thieves are convincing, but the RCMP reminds everyone, CRA officials will not threaten court charges, jail, or deportation to scare you into paying debt. The CRA does not request prepaid credit cards,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. Police continue to investigate these frauds and urge anyone receiving telephone calls from agents claiming to be from the CRA to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604792-4611. To confirm if you have been contacted by a CRA representative, the public can call the CRA at 1-800959-8281 for individual concerns, or 1-800-959-5525 for business- related calls.

trend will remain on the upswing “well into the foreseeable future,” the report states. “Because of its long latency period, the rising disease rate associates with asbestos is often attributed to older and retired workers suffering from exposures that occurred decades earlier,” the report reads. And that risk hasn’t gone away. Workers involved in renovating or demolishing older homes and buildings are at the greatest risk, as well as those improperly handling removing and disposing of

There are signs the flu season may hit B.C. early and hard and public health officials are warning they expect the flu vaccine to again be less effective than they’d like. The most dangerous influenza type for vulnerable people is the H3N2 strain that was dominant in last year’s severe flu season. But because of a genetic mismatch, the vaccine provided last year was useless in warding off H3N2, according to B.C. Centre for Disease Control epidemiologist Dr. Danuta Skowronski. That component of the vaccine was replaced on orders of the World Health Organization, but preliminary evidence suggests the new version will still not be a good match against H3N2, falling well short of the 60 to 70 per cent protection rates against other flu strains in most years. “I believe it’s going to be better than last year – in other words I don’t think it’s going to be zero – but by how much, I can’t say,” Skowronski said. She said there’s good reason to hope it may be 40 to 60 per cent effective overall, adding she continues to recommend the vaccine, particularly for those more vulnerable. “If you are a high-risk person, especially with heart and lung conditions or elderly, even if you’re looking at vaccine protection of 30, 40 or 50 per cent, you’re still better off than if you’re unvaccinated.” Flu vaccine will be widely available by November and may be offered sooner than that in high-risk settings like residential care homes. Epidemiologists had expected H3N2 would be less prevalent this year, with more of a mix of H1N1 and influenza B strains also in circulation, making the mismatch less of a worry. But Skowronski noted there have already been two H3N2 outbreaks in long-term care homes in B.C.’s Vancouver Coastal health region – one in the summer and another in late September. “To have had outbreak activity already in the Continued: FLU/ p5
Drugs, weapon recovered from residence Two people were taken into custody last week after police found drugs and a loaded 45-calibre handgun in a downtown residence. RCMP were called to the home, located in the 46200 block of Gore Avenue, after reports of an assault. When they arrived to investigate they saw what was believed to be drugs in the front room.
The couple, a 23-year-old man and 19-year-old woman, were taken into custody as the building was secured and search warrant granted General Duty investigators supported by Crime Reduction Unit officers returned the following morning and executed the search warrant. Drugs police believe are cocaine, methamphetamine, hero-
in, morphine, cash, scales, and the loaded handgun were located and seized by police during the search. The suspects, both of Surrey, were later released from custody pending further police investigation. “Weapons are commonplace to the drug trade. Fortunately a gun has been removed from our streets as a result of this investigation
which directly impacts the safety of our community,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. RCMP remind everyone who witnesses anything they believe to be suspicious in nature to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604792-4611 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

asbestos-containing materials. “As long as B.C. workplaces fail to manage the exposure risks, asbestos will continue to kill or result in chronic and debilitating diseases such as asbestosis,” WorkSafeBC said. Asbestos has a long history in construction, and was used for its heat resistant and insulating properties. But in the 1970s, health officials started to make the connection between illnesses and asbestos handling history. Asbestosis is irreversible. In addition to worker safety, homeowners trying to complete renovations on their own are also putting themselves and their families at risk. Five cities in the Lower Mainland require demolition permit applicants to first provide hazardous material survey results, including Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Saanich and Nanaimo. Each municipality’s process is slightly different, but result in a Notice of Project being registered with WorkSafeBC for major renovations or demolitions. Between Aug. 1, 2013 and Aug. 31, 2015, there were 242 such notices in the Chilliwack area filed with WorkSafeBC. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz said in September that city staff is looking into new regulations, and are working on bringing a report to an upcoming council meeting. There was no item on the matter listed on Tuesday’s agenda. More information can be found at WorkSafeBC’s asbestos information site hiddenkiller.ca.

Mismatch means less vaccine protection but not ‘zero’ FLU from page 3 summer is very unusual,” she said. “We are monitoring that closely for the possibility of an early season.” Apart from last year, B.C. hasn’t seen flu outbreaks this early since 2009. Last year, with H3N2 widespread and the mismatched vaccine offering no defence, there were 175 outbreaks in long-term care homes. That was the highest number in more than a decade and twice as many outbreaks as the previous peak year of 2012.
Skowronski acknowledged the mismatch problems threaten to erode public confidence in the flu vaccine but hopes vulnerable patients are not dissuaded. “For me, it would be a double tragedy, frankly, if coming out of last season our high-risk people lost faith and did not get the vaccine.” While influenza is a “miserable” illness, Skowronski said it’s not life-threatening to healthy people, for whom vaccination is still encouraged but a matter of personal preference.
About one-third of B.C. residents typically get the flu vaccine each year. H3N2 vaccines have consistently underperformed in recent years.

well for someone who also received it the previous year as it would for a first-time user, Skowronski said, they’ll still be better off than unvaccinated people.

Judging the TPP So what do Thomas Mulcair and Donald Trump have in common? Both rejected the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal before it was released. To be fair, trade deals traditionally have a polarizing effect on people. So it’s not that surprising that the leader of the Canadian New Democratic Party and the bombastic presidential hopeful found reasons to hate the historic agreement. What is disappointing is that they hated it so quickly. The trade deal agreed to on Sunday had an eight-year gestation. It involves 12 Pacific Rim countries that comprise 40 per cent of the world economy. Specific details have yet to be released. But what we do know is that the TPP will have tremendous impact on the Canadian economy – particularly here in Chilliwack. The goal of the agreement is to ease trade restrictions between the participating countries, enhancing the movement of goods, and opening new markets that had previously been closed. Canada, as an exporting nation, benefits when trade restrictions are removed. However, there is a cost. And that

is what worried dairy farmers and poultry producers here. Both sectors are highly regulated under Canada’s supply management program. The program provides stability in an industry that might otherwise fall victim to the vagaries of an unrestricted free market. Countries wanting access to our market have traditionally cited our supply management system as an unfair impediment to trade. Early rumours suggested supply management might be one a sacrifice Canada would have to make to join the TPP. Fortunately, that does not seem to be the case. There will be some market share lost, says the BC Dairy Association. But the organization acknowledges it could have been mush worse – a sentiment echoed by the Dairy Farmers of Canada. Still, there remains much to be learned about the trade deal. And Canadians will have the opportunity for that review. It must be ratified here and in the 11 other participating nations before it comes into effect. All we can hope is that political leaders take the time to read the thing before pronouncing a verdict. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

A brief history of health care spending VICTORIA – The federal budget document began with an ominous warning about deep cuts. Social programs, justice and corrections would be spared as much as possible, but no department would escape the knife. The stark truth was revealed in a table of figures. Health care spending, the core of the Canadian state, was cut by 3.8 per cent in just the first year of the fiscal plan, as population and need continued to grow. No, this is not from the Stephen Harper budget of April 2015, or any other in the last decade. It’s from the Jean Chretien budget of 1995, more than 20 years ago. That’s the last time anyone actually cut health care spending. But wait, you may say. Didn’t I hear that Harper has slashed health care spending by $30 billion? Yes, you probably did hear the biggest, most brazen lie of this
election campaign, either from the government unions that advertised it or the politicians who parrot it. If health care really is ever yone’s high-priority issue, as pollsters have long assured us, voters should at least know the facts. After cutting Tom provincial health FLETCHER and social services transfers for years to end the string of operating deficits that began under Pierre Trudeau and continued under Brian Mulroney, Liberal finance minister Paul Martin rose briefly to the top job. In 2004, Martin staged meetings with premiers, emerging with what was billed as “a fix for a generation,” with federal health
transfers to rise six per cent each year into the future. The future for Martin’s government lasted only two years, as his minority was replaced with one led by Harper. These galloping increases continued until the Conservative majority of 2011, after which thenfinance minister Jim Flaherty came to Victoria to inform provincial finance ministers of the new plan. (I was there, and the joke was that this was as far from Ottawa as Flaherty could get without leaving Canada.) The six-per-cent increases, by that time triple inflation, would continue for another five years. Starting in 2017-18, increases would be tied to economic growth, with a minimum hike of three per cent, still well ahead of today’s inflation. That remains the Conservative plan today.

Saskatchewan pitched a fit. Manitoba’s NDP finance minister termed it “un-Canadian.” Lefties immediately called it a cut, to which Flaherty replied that transfers to provinces would rise from $30 billion to $38 billion in 201819, and continue to grow after that. In B.C., then-finance minister Kevin Falcon praised the longterm approach, acknowledging that health spending was ballooning to half of the provincial budget and had to be brought under control as baby boomers start to retire. B.C. has largely accomplished that, with spending increases below three per cent and health care outcomes that continue to lead the country. As the current election campaign turns into the home stretch, Statistics Canada has announced a milestone. For the first time in history, the number of seniors
exceeds number of children. This demographic shift is inexorable, predictable and must be addressed by whoever wins the Oct. 19 federal election. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is on record that he will scrap the Conservative formula for growthbased increases that he pretends are cuts, returning to six per cent every year while balancing the budget. Little detail has been provided on how this would be done. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau announced in Surrey last week that he will ante up an extra $3 billion over four years for health care, and “sit down with the provinces immediately” to renegotiate, a rerun of Paul Martin’s political theatre.

Keep calm, campaign on We live in the safest time period in history. This is not what we hear from many of our leaders, but actually it’s a fact. Statistics bear that out. Even “terrorism” is less of a risk today. You’ve likely heard about all the exotic ways of dying you are more likely to experience (cows, bathtubs, lightning). So why all the fear-mongering? Is this in keeping with the values
of our Chilliwack and Hope communities? The pursuit of peace has long been a Canadian hallmark, shaping our international reputation. Consistently in stateof-the-nation polls, Canadians say that the country’s international reputation as peacekeeper is held dear. And we’re rightfully known for our measured and considered thinking; our hearts beat with both humility and pride (because
that’s the Canadian way, eh?). This is an important time of decision. Let’s not allow our thoughts and our discussions to be drowned out by political dogma edged with racism and hate. And fear mongering. Let’s come together, not be divided. Let’s keep calm, and campaign on.

Parties spar over election signs In response to the information in Mr. Cathcart’s letter on the legality of Strahl and NDP sign please note: 1. The Strahl Member of Parliament signs on Highway #1 and Columbia Valley Highway which were paid for by the public, were in violation of the Harper redesigned Elections Act for several weeks until the almost invisible little Official Agent authorization note was taped to the signs.
2. A 4’ x 8’ Strahl election sign placed near the on ramp to the #1 highway at Young and Luckakuck was in violation of the sign permit required by and issued by the City of Chilliwack. That sign was up for several weeks. 3. There was absolutely no violation of the Hope sign bylaws by the NDP. There is a Hope Municipal bylaw regarding signs in Hope that applies only to municipal election signage – not to Federal

Fraser Health earns appreciation To the doctors, nurses, paramedics and staff at Chilliwack General Hospital: Sunday, Sept. 27, I was brought by ambulance to CGH with a stroke. I was rushed to the Trauma Centre where I was immediately cared for. It was decided by Skype to air transport me to
Vancouver General for further care, accompanied by my son. I was also treated with compassion and concern while at VGH. When we returned to CGH the care was continued in the Emergency Room and then Intensive Care. I just can’t thank everyone enough for
their compassion, care and understanding. From the fire fighters and paramedics who came into my home to help me, to the paramedics with the helicopter trip to VGH — all the nurses and doctors from the various departments in which I was attended in the course of my ailment.
The episode was a seamless network that saved my life that night and got me back to normal. You all have my admiration. Fraser Health may have its faults but it sure worked for me. In other words — you all rock. Carol M. Brubaker

But first, the plan will go to the Fraser Valley Regional District for approval, and possibly for amendments to the region’s Official Community Plan. It’s good news for a hill that had to cancel its most recent ski season, due to a lack of snow and heavy rains. The plan was designed by Brent Harley, planner behind Big White Ski Resort, along with ski and bike parks around the world. At full buildout, the plan estimates the hill will provide 1,500

“After seven years of focused effort, working closely together with Sts’ailes and the BC Provincial Government in the development of a new Master Plan for Hemlock Resort, we are pleased to announce that we have cleared one of the final hurdles by securing approval for the development plan,” the resort’s Facebook page reads. “This announcement brings Hemlock resort one step closer to becoming a year round playground in the Fraser Valley.” Over those seven years, Berezan has reached out to residents in the small communities that surround the mountain. They officially unveiled the master plan in 2010, when the review process began. In September 2013, they set up an open house in nearby Sts’ailes to meet with the public. The grand plan is that Hemlock Resort will one day stretch from the mountaintop, down to the shores of Harrison Lake. While the resort is small now, the surrounding area gives it great potential, the master plan says. “At first glance, Hemlock’s physical attributes might be dismissed as insubstantial when compared to the world’s great mountain resorts,” it reads. “As illustrated in this Master Plan, the opportunities at Hemlock are very significant.” The resort may one day feature a mountainside golf course around 10 Mile Bay, overlooking the western side of Harrison Lake, with a chair lift stretching up into the distance to move mountain bikers around the hills. According to the plan, the main resort would feature hotel rooms, upgraded lifts and four season attractions that would extend the mountain’s viability from three months to a full year. “It’s a 55-year plan,” Berezan told Black Press at that open house, and will roll out in several stages. While some of the final stages may seem lofty, he said, the initial plan is to upgrade existing services. “The first phase is

employment over the course of 15 to 20 years of development. The total cost the mountain attraction facilities to buildout is approximately $102 million (in 2010 figures). The current Master Plan, including a water license review from 2013, is available online on the Ministry’s website. Berezan Management has not responded to a request for an interview.

marketplace, through more market share and eliminated tariffs. Conservative candidate Mark Strahl called the TPP trade deal historic, and added that “Canada’s negotiators held firm and protected the system.” It’s all good news for local farmers, he said. “Our Conser vative government promised that we would promote free trade and protect our system of supply management and we’ve kept that promise by doing both,” said Strahl. “This is a great day for Canadian farmers and the Canadian economy.” The TPP trade deal includes 12-nations with a market of nearly 800 million customers with a combined Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $28 trillion – over 14 times the size of Canada’s economy. It is the largest freetrade agreement in history, and could give Canadian businesses access to some of the most dynamic markets in the free world. Some opponents of the deal are concerned about food security. “Canadians can be assured that the food they put on their table will continue to be safe,” said Strahl. “Nothing in the TPP will change our world leading food safety standards.” The text of the agreement has not been released.

Still, the trade agreement could lead to a loss in revenues at farms across Canada, something that would have trickle down effect on the overall economy. “B.C. dairy farmers are not happy about the announcement of the TPP, as it means additional foreign access of dairy products into Canada amounting to about 3.25 per cent of Canada’s 2016 milk production, said Dave Taylor, BCDA Board Chair. “This equates to approximately 23 million litres of lost production to B.C. Dairy Producers that will result in lost revenue for the Canadian economy. We have always worked hard to grow our industry and produce a quality product. It’s a step backwards to lose market share and ultimately lose cows from our system. There is however, less anxiety today knowing that Supply Management is going to be sustainable for future generations – for that, we are grateful”. New Zealand was pushing for better access to the Canadian

to the Canadian dairy market, we respect that additional access was a favourable outcome under the circumstances. We are optimistic that the protection programs for producer income, quota, and industr y investment will continue to protect and defend supply management.”

A perfect musical start to the day Captivating classical musicianship, an intimate atmosphere, all topped off with delicious complimentary refreshments: what better way could there be to start the day? All this and more are captured in The Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s Classical Music Series, returning with its first installment featuring host Sarah Hagen and special guest Rebecca Wenham at 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 16. A spectacular union of the piano and cello that is sure to get your Friday off to an inspirational start, this morning concert is an opportunity to experience the talents of these world-class performers in a delightfully open and friendly setting. The personal connection of these concer ts characterizes Hagen’s approach to performing. After curating two previous Classical Music Series’ at The Centre, the much-acclaimed pianist is thrilled to be back in Chilliwack. “Chilliwack is full of amazing people and I feel honoured to get to know the audience through music” she says. “The closeness of the shows at The Centre is always amazing, and I love the warmth of the audience and having the chance to share a cup of coffee before each concert.” Although Hagen’s long list of accolades includes winning the BC Touring Council’s 2015 Touring Artist of the Year Award after demonstrating her prowess in concert halls the world over, there’s one thing that this Vancouverbased virtuoso truly loves: “There’s no place like home!” Hagen says. “I love being on the road, but I also cherish the folks I meet on the west coast. I’m so grateful for the way people in B.C. celebrate a sense of community – that truly does form a large part of why these morning concerts are so special.” This wonderful base of community and connectivity provides the perfect setting for the talents of Hagen and guest cellist Rebecca Wenham to emerge. The abilities of these musicians will fill the Rotary Hall Studio
Theatre with compelling atmosphere and stirring sounds – and perhaps a few surprises. “Sarah and I have been playing together for a number of years” Wenham says, “and it is very natural for us to perform together. We don’t tend to spend much time in discussion – we can generally intuit what the other is doing which allows us to be free and expressive. You could say we share a musical sensibility!” And it isn’t just Hagen and Wenham that share a bond. The partnership of their instruments also ensures this concert will be an enthralling experience. “The piano and cello have such a wide collective range of possibilities when it comes to musical colour and timbre,” Wenham says, “which makes their combination so endlessly interesting. It gives both performers and composers the chance to play around, allowing one instrument to emerge at a time, or teasing the ear by weaving both instruments in and out interchangeably.” Concluding by reflecting the comments of her friend and special guest, Hagen summarizes the extraordinary atmosphere that this concert will offer. “Rebecca and I love playing together and have a great deal of expressive freedom with each other – we create a kind of shared emotional experience, a tapestry of feelings and experiences drawn from the audience. Rebecca is a world class musician and I’m always incredibly inspired when I play with her – it’s such an honour for me!” So to witness the remarkable outcome of when two musicians of such incredible calibre connect with one another join The Centre in welcoming Sarah Hagen and Rebecca Wenham to Chilliwack at 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 16, 2015. Tickets are $27 for Adults, $24 for seniors, and $22 for students, and are available at The Centre Box Office, visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or call 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more information.
Cellist Rebecca Wenham will be Sarah Hagen’s special guest at the first Classical Music Series, 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 16 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

What a bank appraisal means to your Real Estate purchase Many sellers think that the price they can get for their home is determined solely by the amount they are willing to accept and the buyers are willing to pay. There is one more variable that can influence the sale of a home – the lender’s appraisal. To protect their investors, mortgage lenders hire an appraiser to give an independent, objective evaluation of what the property is worth. Predominant value, facilities and improvements are all considered in the appraisal of a property. Buyers and sellers primarily look at a property as a home, or an investment, but lenders see the same real estate in different terms. To a lender, the property is security in the event that a borrower fails to repay a mortgage. It is the collateral to be recovered and liquidated in this event. If you get a $280,000 loan secured by your $300,000 home, the lender does not want to find out later that the house is worth only $250,000. To limit their risks, lenders want a precise, but conservative, estimate of value before making a loan. So lenders hire an appraiser to make an objective evaluation of the property’s worth. The appraiser provides to the lender several key pieces of information in addition to a replacement cost estimate and market analysis. The appraiser’s job is to come up with an objective opinion of the property’s value. The principal tools used

in an appraisal are recently sold comparable properties in the same area. After inspecting the “comparables”, the appraiser adjusts the value of the house, plus or minus, by evaluating the condition of the property, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the size of the lot, and any unique features. Lenders use the appraisal to cap the loan amount, and they rarely lend more than appraised value. Sometimes, the joy and anticipation of owning a new home are crushed when the application for mortgage financing is turned down by the lender. If your loan request has been denied, one of the possible reasons for rejection could be that the appraised value of the property is too low. Your alternatives in this situation will depend upon the reasons for the low appraised value. If the purchase price is higher than the prevailing prices in the area, you can try to renegotiate the price with the seller. If this is not possible and you really want the house, your only solution may be to accept a lower loan amount and come up with the difference. It is also required by lenders to have a current property appraisal when you are refinancing your home. Your ability to borrow money to pay off other debts or get cash out is also affected directly by your home’s appraised value.

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids 15 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true.

Check out some of the world’s best modern fingerstyle acoustic guitar at Tractorgrease Cafe on Oct. 8. Vancouver-based Don Alder is an international fingerstyle champion. Of his many accomplishments, he has won Guitar Superstar (2010) and Guitar Idol (2011), been featured in numerous acclaimed guitar magazines, and has recently performed a duet with Chris Hadfield, former commander of the International Space Station. Alder will be showing off his guitar skills, including work from his latest album Armed and Dangerous, which is a fingerstyle acoustic guitar tribute to The Walking Dead. “[Alder] is a wild performer. If anyone is going to destroy zombies with his guitar, it would be him,”
good friends, and Alder has shared his expertise with Schulz as he works on his debut solo album While The City Sleeps. Alder and Schulz will be joined by Sacramento’s Adrian Bellue, an accomplished young finger-stylist who will be performing for the first time in Western Canada. With fingerstyle guitar, Alder said that many musicians will “use gimmicks for the sake of gimmicks.” “You have to write a good song first, then add in the entertainment value afterwards to bring colour and life to it,” a process which Alder says that his fellow performers have already mastered. To witness these outstanding performers up close, check out the show at the Tractorgrease Cafe (48710 Chilliwack Lake Rd) on Oct. 8 beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door.
laughed Alder’s friend and fellow musician Kris Schulz. “He’s such a big fan of that show. I think he just wears his influences on his sleeve.” As the album artwork by U.K. artist Rob Sullivan illustrates, a guitar player in a zombie apocalypse fights the dead with a weaponized instrument, equipped with chainsaws, blades, whips, and a whammy bar-operated flamethrower. As Alder explained, most of the songs on Armed and Dangerous are dedicated to characters from The Walking Dead, like Arrows Will Fly, which is a tribute to Daryl Dixon. Schulz, a guitarist from Chilliwack, is also on the bill for the evening. Schulz has viewed Alder as a mentor long before they met. “Just seeing and hearing his calibre of music on YouTube was inspiring,” Schulz explained. The two have since become

Seven inexpensive ways to update a home now When you get inspired to make improvements to the home but fear how much it may take out of your wallet, consider inexpensive tricks that can induce a big “wow” factor. Oftentimes, buying a home opens up a bottomless pit of opportunities for projects and improvements. While some homeowners engage in different repairs and fix-ups out of necessity, many others like to freshen-up their spaces out of personal preference instead of need. But even the most well-intentioned projects can be waylaid if budgets are tight. There are many ways to make updates and changes to a home that do not require a major overhaul or a large price tag. The following are seven projects that won’t break the bank. 1. Move around furniture. You may be able to change the look of a room without spending any money. Interior designers know how to arrange
furniture for maximum appeal, but homeowners can do it, too. Find a focal point in the room and angle the furniture toward it. Don’t make the focal point the television, however. Try changing the placement of chairs and sofas. Simply moving a cabinet from one corner to another may also make a difference. 2. Add lighting. Lighting at different levels in the room can create a vibrant impact. Many homeowners put in a couple of table lamps and think that will be adequate. However, properly illuminating a room means varying the lighting to create different moods at different times. Plus, more light can make a room feel more welcoming. 3. Add new pillows or drapes. Changing a few aspects of a room can give it an entirely new look. If you want to add a splash of colour but don’t know what to do, think about incorporating some new throw pillows or change the curtains. An accessory here and there in a bright colour also can incorporate a new hue without it being overwhelming. 4. Change knobs or small accents. Give a room a new look by focusing on the small details. Switch out cabinet knobs for something updated and modern. Take inventory of wall outlets and light switches and think about selecting new ones that coordinate with your home decor. 5. Use plants. Empty corners or spots you’re
not certain how to fill may benefit from a plant. Plants are inexpensive ways to add instant colour and visual appeal to a room. Plus, having live plants can help improve indoor air by filtering out contaminants. A home with plants also feels more cozy. 6. Hang new wall art. It may be time to look at your photos and artwork and make a few adjustments. Finding new prints to hang could instantly change a room’s ambience. And you needn’t spend a lot of money on professional photography, either. Grab your camera and take a few close-up shots of flowers or take in a landscape scenery. Many of today’s home printers can produce high-quality prints in minutes. 7. Try a new coat of paint. After you’ve exhausted other avenues, choosing a new paint colour may be the new look you desire. Painting is one of the least expensive yet most dramatic methods of changing a home’s interior. With dozens of hues to choose from, and new apps that en-
able you to take snapshots of things in nature or in your life and match them up to a paint colour, you will have scores of opportunities to explore fresh new colours for your home.

Closing your pool for the winter Don’t close or winterize your pool until late October or early November as closing it when the average temperatures are still near 20 degrees Celsius will only encourage algae growth.

Pools are big investments and while they provide plenty of summer fun, chances are they don’t get much use after September or October. However, just because they’re not being used doesn’t mean you can ignore them through the winter. Your first decision is to determine whether you want to just “close” your pool or do a full winterization. The difference involves the degree of “shut down”, the amount of work required and the cost of maintenance necessary to see the pool through the dormant winter period. And don’t fall into the trap of thinking you need to drain the water out for the winter, this goes for both in-ground and above-ground pools equally. A full winterization involves chemically preparing the pool, lowering the water levels below the skimmers, covering the pool with the right kind of cover, and draining the pipes, pumps filters and skimmers. One of the keys is to en-
sure any equipment that is exposed, such as the pump or a heater on above-ground pools, be covered properly to prevent the elements from wrecking havoc on the units. The introduction of RV-quality anti-freeze to the system where necessary (it must be safe for potable water supplies) is also important to help protect expensive equipment. Winterizing a pool is a great way to protect the pool and its parts but it also makes spring start up a whole lot easier because you won’t have as much cleaning and repair to do. If you don’t want to go through the hassle or cost of winterizing your pool fully, you can always just “close” it. Closing the pool involves the same chemical process, but there is no cover involved and you don’t shut down the pump because you want to keep water circulating to prevent freeze up. However, the heater must still be bypassed to prevent corrosion of the unit and a costly repair or replacement bill come spring. One thing to keep in mind is that the water must be treated properly with chemicals whichever route you go so as to avoid algae build-up through the winter, and to prevent calcium being leached from concrete, rubber and plastic parts. Not enough calcium means those materials will begin to break down and that will eventually cost you money. Anti-freeze is useful because it will not only prevent freezing of any water left in important equipment but it will also keep gaskets lubricated. also a good blast of something like WD40 to the bump motor shaft will keep it lubed and prevent rusting.

Add upcycling to your home improvement tools
Inspired by the upcycling trend? Why not transform a 1980s jewelry armoire into a more stylish, modern piece for the bedroom. Give it a new coat of paint, new silver or glass pulls and flocking on the drawer interiors. Or even a sturdy but chipped dresser or night table… paint can do wonders to keep a special piece in the family but make it more your own style. Before you get started, take a “before” picture. Some transformations can hardly be believed once they are completed! Two or more benches can be connected together to form a workstation. It’s best to be under cover, as you don’t want it to rain or beat hot sun down on your project. Nothing is worse than checking on a nearly dry project and finding a bug stuck in the tacky paint finish! Not all of us have a workshop but a garage is pretty useful for these projects or you could go underneath a patio/deck if need be. To remove the residue from old finishes and polish, use soft to medium 120-180 grit sanding sponges for the contour detailed areas and a sanding block for flat areas. Once the sanding is finished, clean with a good furniture cleaner using a dry rag.
Allow to dry well. One to three coats of paint or gel stain should be applied to the piece. Milk paint is a popular coating, especially for furniture. There is even a product that can provide a crackle finish to give a weathered look. Each coat should be allowed to dry between coats about two to four hours. It would be a shame to go to all that work only for it to bubble or peel due to the paint not being dry. To prep for new hardware, use wood filler to plug original screw holes. Re-flocking any drawers really makes a piece look finished and professional. Reassemble the piece and don’t forget to take your “after” pictures! Keep some of the paint used in a resealable container that is labelled with the colour and piece of furniture it was used on. That way if you need to do a touch up, it will be super easy to find what you used. Not only have you made something more personalized to your style, but you’ve saved a decent piece of furniture from the landfill.

The days are greyer, and the house starts to lose some of the cheeriness that sunshine imparts to any home. Left untreated, the dullness eventually translates into the winter “blahs”. Luckily there are inexpensive and easy-to-do home decor projects that can help brighten your home and defeat the winter “blahs”. DE-CLUTTER The easiest way to begin the brightening process is to de-clutter, particularly in areas that boast shiny surfaces like kitchens and bathrooms. Let the gloss from your solid surface countertops reflect your indoor lighting, creating a brighter environment. Clutter eats up light and prevents reflection, so the more you clear away the better. Functional storage with reflective surfaces can help both brighten and corral clutter. For example, use a mirrored tray to contain bathroom essentials in easy reach. Clearing your counters and other reflective surfaces can go a long way to improving the brightness factor in your home. ADD BLING Inserting more “bling” into your home is also a great way to introduce more brightness and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Add some metallic finishes to any room and you’re going to make it brighter. Decor pieces with mirrored, jeweled, or metallic finishes can be placed strategically through the home. Try crystal embellished candlesticks or use a jeweled tray as a place to
store oils and vinegars in eyesight. There are ways to increase the bling quotient in a room, and all of them will help reflect whatever natural or artificial light is present to make the room seem brighter. ADD COLOUR Splashes of the right colour can really brighten things up. Get away from browns, blacks and grays and go with chartreuse, orange, peacock blue or purples - not the deep purples that absorb light, but the lighter more vibrant purples. These colours are popular right now and when you use them in silks or velvets, they really warm up a room as well. ADD LIGHT Sometimes brightening up a room can be as easy as ensuring light bulbs are in good condition. One dead or dull bulb can dampen the brightness factor in a room. When replacing light bulbs consider LED white lights for lower energy consumption and brighter light. The addition of lamps can add warmth and ambience to any room and there are inexpensive options available with modern glass and reflective surface bases. PAINT A coat of pain is the go-to option when trying to brighten up a room and there are lots of shades that will brighten a room without having to paint all the walls. Consider a single feature wall that will make a dramatic difference and add an interesting focal point. ADD PLANTS Finally, bring the outdoors inside. Plants and flowers are a great addition to any room. As the weather forces us inside, we can still enjoy natural elements, many of which are being reflected in fabrics. Look for large florals, leafy ferns and coral patterns to connect you to the happier feelings we get in tropical or summary locales.

Winterize to safeguard your home from harsh weather the travel of such precipitation from your roof into street-level drainage systems. If gutters are backed up with leaves and other debris, then ice dams may form, forcing water to seep in through the roof. Clean gutters throughout the fall, especially if your property has many trees, and be sure to check gutters one last time before the arrival of winter. * Tend to your attic. Homeowners who have attics in their homes might want to add some extra insulation up there, especially those who recall feeling cold inside their homes in previous winters, which is often a telltale sign of improper insulation in a home. A good rule of thumb when determining if your attic needs more insulation is to look for the ceiling joists. If you can see the joists, then you need more insulation.

Cleaning gutters in the fall can prevent roof damage resulting from winter rains and snowfall. Such preparation, often referred to as “winterizing,” can make a home more comfortable when the mercury dips below freezing, while saving homeowners substantial amounts of money along the way. * Clean the gutters. Leaves falling in fall can be a beautiful sight to behold, but many of those leaves are likely finding their way into your gutters, where they can lodge and cause a host of problems down the road. If the leaves and additional debris, such as twigs and dirt, that pile up in your gutters are not cleared out before the first winter storm, the results can be costly and even catastrophic. Winter rain and snowfall needs a place to go upon hitting your roof, and gutters facilitate

Loaded Grizzlies ready to make history Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Laurie Smith has surveyed the landscape of BC high school football and come to a conclusion. If his GW Graham Grizzlies fall short of the AA senior varsity provincial title this year, it will because they beat themselves. “We’ve seen Abbotsford and Barsby (Nanaimo) play. Ballenas will be good and we have respect for those teams,� he said. “But I just know that our guys can go toe-to-toe with any of the top teams in the province.� “The only thing that can screw us up is us, so we have to execute and not let our No. 1 ranking go to our head.� Smith is justified in his optimism. His Grizz are stacked on both sides of the ball, with a hardhitting and relentless defence complementing a balanced and explosive offence. If championship teams start at the quarterback position, GWG is in good shape with rocket-armed Gabe Olivares. Offensive coordinator Adam Smith can’t say enough about his big and mobile pivot. “He can make all the throws and there’s nothing we can call that he can’t do,� Smith said. “We try to keep him in the pocket, but we have some college-style readoption plays we’re designing for him where he’ll have the option to run, pass or hand off.� When the QB hands the ball off, he’ll give it to a talented stable of running backs led by Grade 10 battering ram Von Richardson. The bell-cow back on last year’s AA junior varsity provincial champs, No. 15 in blue runs angry. Jordon Breuker, Tristan Davis and raw first-year burner Josh Morgan are also in the mix.
“Von has been so consistently good and makes something out of nothing, so he’s been the strongest so far,� Laurie Smith said. “But with Von, Jordon or Tristan — any of those three could be our starter and I wouldn’t worry about the outcome.� When the Grizz go to the air, a deep and talented pass catching crew can rip apart a defence. Senior Emerson Smith leads the way, joined by Tyler Sprott and Baker Douglas. Adam Smith can dip into his bench for Wyatt Uzick, Ryan Clayton and Noah Dubosoff. The coach thought this group was good, but not great, during preseason play, and he’s looking for them to step up. “Don’t screw up your routes and catch the ball,� he said when asked what his expectations are. “It’s simple as that. You’re going to get some of the best passes and we’re going to scheme to get you wide open.� “When you get your chance, just make the play. That’s all I ask.� The true strength of the Grizzlies lies in the trenches, with one of the best and deepest offensive lines this level of football has ever seen. Luke Acheson coaches a unit of bruising big men who bully opponents, but they don’t succeed simply through brute force. Guys like Jaren and Michael Lengert, Liam McCormick, Jake Troyan, Braydon Winger and Elijah Schellenberg are technicians. “This is a special group, and after a game I hope opponents are saying, ‘What was that? I don’t want to play those guys again,’� Acheson said. GWG’s line might, in fact, be too good. High school refs aren’t accus-

tomed to seeing blockers sustain blocks through the whistle, and the Grizzly group has been flagged for some calls Acheson doesn’t like. “Our guys have worked so hard for so long, they’re able to maintain a block for longer than maybe these refs are used to,� he said. “It looks really aggressive and mean and outside the rules of the game, but it’s really just staying on their blocks like they’ve been coached to do.� The core of the O-line is also the core of the D-line, a hard-charging group that makes opponents fight tooth and nail for every yard. “The Lengerts do a strong job for us at tackle, and McCormick goes good work in there too,� said defensive line coach Jason
Campbell. “The thing about our line is there’s not a big drop between the first and second string.� “We could pretty much sub one group out for the next like a hockey line change, if we wanted, and not have it affect the game too much.� The Grizzlies boast an outstanding group of linebackers that includes Cainen Bergh, Miguel Wood, Richardson, Breuker, Davis and Sprott. They are strong and fast, flying sideline to sideline. “Breuker is interesting because of his size,� Campbell noted. “We can put him in as an inside or outside linebacker, or even at rush end. It’s a real interesting group overall with no real weaknesses.�
He feels the same way about his secondary. Emerson Smith, Ethan Mastin, Ben Pretty and Spencer Breslin anchor a group of tenacious ballhawks. “We don’t necessarily have that all-star player like (Abbotsford’s) Chase (Claypool), but our level across the board is so, so high that it makes up for that and then some,� Campbell said. “People like to see the offence score touchdowns, but it’s the defence’s ability to shut the opposition down that allows us to win games.� GWG’s title hunt starts on the road Friday versus the Robert Bateman Timberwolves. The home opener is Oct. 16 at 7:30 p.m. versus the Rick Hansen Hurricanes at Exhibition Stadium.

The Red Deer native caught 43 balls this year and, officially, has 98 for his career. Head coach Adam Smith believes Draper should get credit for an additional three catches that were missed by stat-keepers this year, giving him the franchise mark. Meanwhile, quarterback Noah Falconer continued an impres-
sive late season surge, completing 25 of 39 passes for 283 yards. Ryan Beaubien had a 15 yard field goal for the Huskers. The defence got after Raider quarterbacks, recording five sacks.

Chiefs’ Cholowski chasing big-league dreams Gary Ahuja Times Sports The NHL draft may still be more than eight months away, but a Chilliwack Chiefs blueliner finds himself on the radar. NHL Central Scouting released its preliminar y player rankings on Sept. 29 with Dennis Cholowski making the list. The second-year defenceman was given a C grade, which translates into a fourth to sixth round draft candidate. “It means a lot,” the 17-year-old admitted. “It has always been my goal to play in the NHL and being ranked for the NHL draft, this is the first step in getting there.” But that doesn’t mean Cholowski is going to rest on his laurels in what is likely his final year of BCHL hockey. “It just means more work is ahead, and I have to keep going,” he said. Cholowski is one of those defencemen that every team covets. “He is that offensive defencemen every team wants,” said Chiefs head coach Jason Tatarnic. “(Dennis) is a fantastic skater and has great vision, but the biggest thing is his skating ability. That is what makes him so good.” Last season, Cholowski finished with four goals and 27 points in 55 games and
was second on the team challenges early on. “But because he is in points among the Chilliwack defencemen. such a good skater, he “I like to jump up into was able to adjust pretty the rush and contrib- quick,” the coach said. ute on offence,” he said. “As a 16-year-old he was “But I also know my on our power play, so defensive responsibili- that speaks volumes about his skill set.” ties.” Cholowski, who is He scored his first goal of the 2015- six-foot-one and 165 pounds, uses 16 season on his speed to Friday night his advantage, in a 6-4 loss to whether bringthe Langley ing the puck out Rivermen at of his own end the Langley or defending.

after visiting the university on an official visit to tour the campus and take in one of the team’s games. “I loved everything about it; the campus was nice, the hockey was absolutely fantastic and the fans were great,” he described. “As soon as I got back, I knew that was where I wanted to go.” But before he heads off for university, Cholowski is determined to make the most of his last BCHL campaign. “I think I just need to focus on playing my game, playing well, and not worrying about pressure or anything like that. “Just staying calm,” he explained. “I think we have a really good team and can go far in the league this year.” Through the season’s first six games, Cholowski has four assists.

Semiahmoo stopped Chilliwack’s peewee A1 Bruins picked up their first win of the year Saturday, dropping Semiahmoo 2-1 on the road. Goaltender Cole Mayes and his catlike reflexes kept Chilliwack’s foes at bay in the opening minutes. Eight minutes into the opening frame, Bruin Lucas Bourdon opened the scoring, ripping a shot from the blueline. Late in the period, a Lucas Wismer shot was deflected by Ryder O’Brien to give Chilliwack its second goal. Semiahmoo’s lone goal came in the second period, and Mayes came through with a spectacular game-saving stop in the third to preserve the win.
Another goal Cholowski can aim for is securing a spot in the Canadian Junior Hockey League Prospects Game. It was announced on Sept. 30 that the game will be played at the South Surrey Arena on Jan. 26. The 11th annual game will feature the top draft-eligible prospects from Team West against those from Team East. There are 10 junior A hockey leagues across Canada and players are chosen based on the recommendations of NHL Central Scouting.

MUSSELL, Shawn Liane
February 1, 1971 – September 26, 2015 It is with the deepest sorrow we announce the passing of a wonderful sister, daughter, aunt and friend. Shawn is survived by and will be forever remembered and cherished by her grandfather Helmer Stromquist, mother Sonja, brother Helmer (Deb), sister Noreen (Alphonso), nieces Jassett, Avery and Maya, and nephew Phoenix. Family meant the world to Shawn. That included her horse, Doc, her afghan hound Shylo and her yorkie of 19 years, Cody Bleu. Daughter of Henry Richard (Dick) Mussell (deceased) and Sonja Mussell, Shawn grew up in Rosedale in her country home. During her childhood Shawn enjoyed riding horses, especially her own horse, Doc Hobby. She also loved listening to music. Shawn had a special bond with her grandma, Noreen Stromquist ( deceased), as she guided and loved Shawn through difficult times in her life. Shawn lived in Vancouver for several years after graduating from high school. She then moved to Los Angeles and visited many destinations in the world before moving back to the Vacncouver area. Her last years were spent in New Westiminster with her special someone Ron Fogal whom she loved very much. She also had special friend in Jerry Bain who was a wonderful friend and support to Shawn. Shawn loved the big city life and was a part of the Hollywood social scene before moving back to Canada. She modeled professionally and was seen in many publications. Shawn had a spiritual connection to her aboriginal roots. She was the founder of the Native Elders Video Library Archives; an organization that preserved the stories, knowledge and history of aboriginal elders. In spite of adversity, Shawn earned a diploma in Business Administration after her return to Canada. May Shawn’s spirit be free and at peace as she is reunited with her loved ones in heaven.
For loving me as I am, for being my friend, my mentor and my advisor. For being an awesome mother and grandmother, a great cook and a terrific painter. The list can go on and on. So, for many special reasons, not the least of which is becoming a “Fishing Widow” when the salmon are running.
All my love.
