Chilliwack-Hope candidates Dorothy-Jean O’Donnell, Alexander Johnson, Seonaigh MacPherson, Louis De Jaeger, Mark Strahl and Thomas Cheney (left to right) face questions at the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce all candidates meeting on Thursday. GREG KNILL/ PROGRESS

Federal candidates face off one last time Jessica Peters The Progress With election day just around the corner, the final all candidates meeting for ChilliwackHope brought out all six hopefuls. The Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce hosted the onehour event at the Coast Hotel Thursday afternoon, in which the candidates were lobbed about six different questions. Many of those questions gave the candidates a chance to reiterate points made at debates earlier in the campaign, from worries about security and

the economy, to more pointed observations about refugees and missing and murdered First Nation women. And, once again, Conservative candidate Mark Strahl took some heat for perceptions that he didn’t do enough to connect with constituents over the last term. When asked what the biggest issue was in Chilliwack-Hope, one candidate noted it was a lack of a relationship with the MP. “We didn’t have a relationship with the federal government because we don’t have a relationship with Mark Strahl,” said Liberal candidate Louis De

Jaeger. Strahl recently held the position of Parliamentar y Secretary to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, and De Jaeger pointed the finger of blame directly at Strahl for the lack of change in First Nation reserves with extreme poverty. “He has not done a very good job,” he said. But Strahl pointed to other problems in the riding, based on what he said constituents have contacted him about. “The two issues I’ve heard are criminal justice reform, and the economy,” he said. He outlined

some of the promises made by the Conservatives, and initiatives they’re already working toward, including a change this year to how the government subsidizes families with young children. “We believe Canadians know best how to spend their own money,” he said. Thomas Cheney, Green Party candidate, said providing proper transit would help revive the economy. His plan includes reviving the old Interurban light rail line. Seonaigh MacPherson, NDP candidate, said it would be her Continued: CANDIDATES/ p10

The old Safeway building at Main and Princess will be a mere memory by midNovember, after years of being deemed an eyesore in the downtown core. The demolition company in charge of taking down the building has confirmed that the project is on target to be completed within five weeks. Some demolition activity was starting to take place already this week, and a rezoning notice posted at the site offers a hint at what’s next for this prime real estate lot. The land is now up for rezoning from its current commercial use (C2) to a mix of high density multi-family residential (R6) and comprehensive development (CD-15). The application notice states the change would “ensure that future development supports downtown planning and revitalization efforts, including facilitating pedestrian-oriented commercial and residential development in the downtown core.” City staff has confirmed that the rezoning application will be introduced and be up for its first reading at the Oct. 20 council meeting. If council approves first reading, it will go to a public hearing on Nov. 3. The company in charge of the demolition is Clearview Grinding Ltd., who also led the project to tear down the old Chilliwack secondary school.

polls to vote for which party they believe would best represent them. Zullo expected a good majority of his own students to show up at the polls, but he was pleased on Wednesday to see big numbers showing up to vote. In total, 557 students would have the chance this week to vote, at CMS alone. Across Canada, 600,000 students in elementary and high school schools are being given the chance to test drive the voting process. The library looked very similar to a real voting station. Three volunteer students, from the school’s leadership program, helped students register with the help of a school list. They were sent to the three Elections Canada voting booths to mark their choice, and

The Progress The library at Chilliwack middle school was a beehive of activity over lunch breaks this week, as students milled in and out to practise democracy. The school was one of many across Canada to set up polling stations for mock student elections, through the help of an organization called CIVIX. That group reached out to Humanities teacher Pedro Zullo to get the ball rolling, and he paired up the federal elections with lessons in Canadian civics. In class, his students learned about rights and responsibilities, the Charter, and the parliamentary democracy system in place in Canada. At lunch, they went to the

While large numbers of adults hit the advance polls over the weekend, leading to reports of frustrated workers and voters alike, the mood in the school library was nothing short of boisterous. As they lined up and mingled, they chatted about who they would be voting for, and how to vote. They worried they didn’t have the right identification, and they weren’t all sure how to use the ballots, the booths or the boxes. Zullo mingled around the booth, patiently herding the young voters Continued: STUDENTS/ p4

Model train show designed to inspire Fire claims one in Chilliwack

Jessica Peters The Progress The railroad has captured the hearts of many Canadians, since they first traversed the countryside in 1836. It’s easy to see the romance in a chugging train heaving away from a station, its long, lonely whistle echoing through valleys, and the hiss of its metal wheels scraping the tracks all the way. Then there’s the history, along with amazing feats of industrial-era engineering — clackity bridges, long spans of tracks, tunnels bored through mountainsides, and enormous, thunderous engines. And there are the songs, stories, and intrigue. It’s no wonder there’s an entire community of model train enthusiasts, dedicated to preserving the nostalgic notions of life on the railroad. And this weekend, they’ll converge in Chilliwack. The 18th Annual Mount Cheam Lions Train and Hobby Show rolls into Chilliwack Heritage Park for Saturday and Sunday, with several large displays, a vendor area featuring 54 sellers, interactive play areas for children, competitions and prizes. One of the model train enthusiasts visitors may meet is Larry Sebelley, who will be set up with the local group, Coldslap Freemo. Their display is an impressive 50 by 90 foot free form modular set up. While it’s nice to be showing in their hometown, the group also packs up and heads to shows in Vancouver and Portland, California and Minnesota. Last weekend, they went to a show in Spokane, where they took a few of their modules to connect with a group there. Each person brings their own modulars, he explains, and while

they are all different sizes and shapes, they are designed to fit together at the ends. The completed projects can end up quite large, and different every time. Unlike a stationary setup in a basement, these pieces can end up traveling all over Canada and the United States. “Shows are where we have enough square footage,” Sebelley explains, to get together and really have some fun with their displays. He hasn’t been a lifetime collector. Rather, he came into it after his kids grew up and left home. “You’re looking for something to do, and you come back to it,” he says. “The thing I really like about the hobby, is you have to learn new things all the time.

years ago I knew nothing about electronics or soldering. I can do all that now.” It’s a hobby that keeps you thinking, problem-solving, and creative, he adds. But there is a concern that the hobby is slipping away from the next generation, for a few reasons. The first is the obvious fascination with new technology. Model trains take patience and more patience. “It’s one of our big challenges in our hobby in general, it’s aging, and it’s the instant gratification thing,” he says. “(Kids) don’t get involved and that’s a challenge now.” The other thing that’s changing, which goes hand in hand with new technology, is a shift in what’s being sold.

“There’s a movement out there where the manufacturers are building things for us that’s already built,” Sebelley. Sure, that’s attractive to some buyers. But it sort of misses the point in building a railroad. “It takes time,” he says. “And that’s time you have to invest.” Sebelley seeks out Canadian Pacific Railway trains, while his wife is interested in Soo-Line American Railroad. “Most guys will have to sneak it into the house, but I’m fortunate because my wife’s on board with this,” he says. Getting out to the show is a must for anyone with kids interested in building things, he said. There’s always plenty for them to do. But he reminds everyone that Continued: TRAIN/ p4

One person is dead after a house fire broke out in the 45000 block of Westview Avenue Wednesday night. Firefighters were called out to a two-story home at 7:30 p.m., arriving to find fire and smoke venting from one side of the building. They quickly suppressed the blaze and evacuated the one person – a 74-year-old woman – who was home at the time. She was rushed by ambulance to Chilliwack General Hospital suffering from severe smoke inhalation. She passed away a short time later. Fire damage to the home was limited to the main floor, with smoke damage prevalent throughout the house. There were no firefighter injuries. The fire appears to be accidental but is still under investigation by Chilliwack Fire Department and RCMP.

Fire ‘suspicious’ Chilliwack RCMP are investigating a potential case of arson that happened in the early hours of Oct. 7. Around 1:30 a.m. police were called out to a structure fire in the 9700 block of Harrison Street. The Chilliwack Fire Department doused the blaze, limiting damage to the rear exterior wall and roof of a vacant house. RCMP and Fire Department investigators quickly determined the source of the fire was suspicious and secured the premises. They have since gathered evidence and continue to canvas neighbours as they pursue their investigation. Continued: FIRE/ p4

Lions Club model train show supports local charities TRAIN from page 3 the displays are there to look at, to learn from, and be inspired from — but not to touch. Among the other groups at the show, there will be the LEGO Group again with their always

interesting display. This year has a strong R/C car (radio controlled) presence with Rebel Concepts, a local R/C Hobby Centre taking over floor three with displays, competitions and opportunities for attendees to try out R/C cars.

Owner Ron Nikkel has promised lots of entertainment, excitement and prizes. Bastion Games is back again with a Warhammer Tournament. Owner Nathan Verde has players coming from throughout the

Lower Mainland to compete for prizes. If you’re into gaming you don’t want to miss this tournament. Every dollar raised from the Train and Hobby Show by the Mount Cheam Lions Club is donated back into the community in sup-

port of local charities. The show runs 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for children, and $20 for a family. An adult two-day pass is $10.

Students get out the vote STUDENTS from page 3 to the proper areas. As each voter dropped their choice in the box, they received non-partisan but very patriotic Canada flags and buttons. By Friday at the end of the lunch break, their votes will be cast. The results will be tallied by volunteers who have taken an oath to keep the results a secret. While the votes will not be used in the federal election (you must be 18 to vote in Canada), the results are kept confidential as to not sway voters on election day. The mock elections are seen as a teaching opportunity, but also could offer a glimpse into the minds of future voters. Sienne Mothus was one of the volunteer workers on Wednesday, and she was looking forward to casting her first ever ballot. “I think it’s a good idea to get ready to vote,” she said. “It gives you more feelings of responsibility.” jpeters@theprogress.com

Police seek info on latest fire FIRE from page 4 “No one was injured fighting the fire. Police are working with the Chilliwack Fire Department to determine whether the fire was targeted and if it is, whether it may be linked to other suspicious fires we have had in the area,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. Police ask anyone with any information to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

Fast said the legal text is not completed and requires consent of all 12 countries, which is unlikely before the election.

ICBC rates to jump $60 for average driver Jeff Nagel Black Press The Insurance Corp. of B.C. has decided to raise basic auto insurance premiums by 5.5 per cent, driving up the annual cost by more than $44 for the average driver. And a further jump in optional premiums for coverage like thirdparty liability will add nearly $16, for an annual increase of about $60 on average. The basic premium increase is less than the 6.7 per cent jump ICBC had warned in August might be required as a result of rapidly rising injury claims and the resulting payouts. The hit is lower in part because the province has approved an unusual $450-million transfer of capital from ICBC’s optional insurance business to the basic insurance side. There’s been growing

financial pressure on the basic side, while ICBC has had more wriggle room in recent years to actually decrease rates on its optional side, where it does not hold a monopoly and competes with private insurers. But officials say optional costs are now also on the rise because optional third-party liability insurance covers injury payouts over $200,000. Adrian Dix, the NDP’s critic on ICBC, noted the average driver will be paying nearly 30 per cent more in basic premiums than they did when Christy Clark became premier in 2011. “Overall what we’re talking about is a major, major increase in rates for the average motorist,” said Dix, who lays part of the blame on management decisions at ICBC and trouble with the rollout of its new computer system. He noted the provin-

cial government has not opted to forgo the $160-million annual dividend it extracts each year from ICBC’s optional side. “They’re not sacrificing,” Dix said. “They’re doing a double dip on the optional side.” Canadian Taxpayers Federation spokesman Jordan Bateman said the continued flow of dividends to the government is particularly frustrating. “Despite the fact we get gouged for more money each year, the government continues to suck all the profits out and puts them into general revenue,” Bateman said. “We have a government that talks about affordability but erodes

Asbestos safety enhanced

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Two months ago in this space, Chilliwack city council was asked to tighten its oversight on demolition permits to further protect workers from exposure to asbestos. Last week councillors did just that. (City of Chilliwack adds new step in demolition permit process, Chilliwack Progress, Oct. 14.) Council unanimously supported a staff recommendation that makes WorkSafe BC compliance mandatory before a demolition permit is issued. That means the city must have written verification that buildings built before 1990 have been checked for hazardous material by a qualified expert. No verification, no demolition permit. The goal is to reduce the chance of inadvertant exposure to asbestos, and ensure the material is removed safely and disposed of properly. And it’s not just another bureaucratic hoop. Asbestos exposure has become the leading cause of work-related deaths in the province, according to WorkSafe BC, killing on average one British Columbia every six days last year. Rules already exist to protect workers, and penalties for offending demolition companies can be harsh. However, an increasing number of Lower Mainland municipalities have decided another layer of defence was necessary; too often demolitions occur quickly and without adequate inspections. These cities have concluded that by making mandatory inspections a part of the demolition permit process the risk can be further reduced. This is particularly pertinent in Chilliwack. We have already seen projects shut down because asbestos was not being handled properly. And we’ve seen evidence of asbestos dumped on our roadsides and in the back country. As areas like Chilliwack’s downtown face continued redevelopment, even more demolitions are likely. Chilliwack can be proud it now has proactive measures in place. And Chilliwack staff and council should be congratulated for working so quickly to implement more robust protection for workers and residents in the city. Their actions may have saved a life. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Heavy lifting on climate awaits next government The party that forms the next government Monday will need to get its act together fast for attendance at the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris in November. This will be the big one with the objective of achieving a legally binding and universal agreement to limit global warming to 2 degrees C above pre-industrial levels. The conference is especially important for Canada since, as a northern nation, we are more critically impacted by temperature increases than many other nations, especially in our far northern latitudes. Given our carbon-intensive economy and the fact that we already sit in 10th spot among the world’s worst emitters of greenhouse gases, there’s a lot of catchup ahead. Canada already has an embarrassing international reputation as a laggard when it comes

to responsible mitigation efforts to deal with climate change. Environment Canada has already said that, once more, we will fall far short of our emissions targets, the current one being to reduce emissions to 17 per cent below 2005 levels. And that target is the least ambitious of any nation. European leadMargaret ers agreed a year ago to reduce EVANS emissions by at least 40 per cent compared to 1990 levels and the U.S. has a target reduction of 26 to 28 per cent below 2005 levels by 2025. So what are the leader hopefuls promising to do about climate change? The NDP will introduce a cap

and trade system and crack down on heavy polluters with hefty penalties and fines. They could reintroduce their Climate Change Accountability Act that has had a roller coaster life since first tabled in 2006 by (then) NDP leader Jack Layton. As parliaments dissolved or were prorogued, the Bill went through endless delays until finally defeated in the Senate in 2010 but was re-introduced in 2011. The Bill called for not only a medium (now short) term target to bring greenhouse emissions 25 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020 but a long term target to reduce them by 80 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050. The Green Party platform is to aim for virtual elimination of fossil fuel use in Canada by midcentury. The short term goal is 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2025 and 80 per cent below 1990 levels by2050. For the Greens, any more

expansion of the Alberta oilsands will not be in the cards. The Liberals will development partnerships with the provinces and territories with targeted federal funding and set emissionsreduction targets. A new Low Carbon Economy Trust will be established to provide funding for projects that materially reduce carbon emissions. According to their website, the Trust will be endowed with $2 billion. The Conser vatives – well, count on more of the same. But that approach will guarantee Canada won’t meet its future targets, short or long term. Everything in society contributes to GHG emissions including transportation (23 per cent), buildings (12 per cent), agriculture (10 per cent), and waste, oil and gas, oil sands production, and electricity. The environment is at the

heart of our economy. Investment in one broadens the scope of the other. There are huge opportunities in development of small hydro, geothermal, wind, waste energy recover y, solar, ocean, hydrogen and fuel cells. There is technology to capture carbon from the atmosphere to produce ultra-low emissions fuels. Another process in development is to take carbon dioxide and waste heat from oil sands facilities and use an algae process to release bio-oil for jet plane fuel. But most of all there are creative, dynamic minds driving a wealth of opportunities for new industries, support businesses, and a multitude of jobs. We need the right government to drive green-based policy and infrastructure forward with them.

Do you know where your kids are? While politicians pumped party tires at last Wednesday’s all-candidates meeting, hayseed teens were bent on letting the air out of a good night of political debate. Together, my dad and I enjoyed the Chilliwack Cultural Centre event: beautiful venue, engaged crowd, full slate of candidates and an excellent moderator. Great participation from the audience included a thoughtful question from the 11-year-old girl who we later learned had her family minivan’s tire slashed in the Evergreen Hall parking lot. Her dad bought new tires only a couple weeks ago. We

found this out while struggling to dislodge the spare beneath dad’s Ram 2500 to replace his knifed tire. The RCMP officer on scene said about five vehicles were hit. Unfortunately, security didn’t get a great look at the handful of hoodie-wearing kids who scrambled away after being spotted nearby and suspected of deflating trust in wandering youths and Chilliwack’s downtown in general. The north side is a great place to live with beautiful homes, people, and parks. But the next time your child aimlessly slips into a rainy Chilliwack weeknight, take time to wonder what they’re

up to. Ask where they’re going. Maybe pat coat pockets (carefully, there could sharp stuff in there). Apple’s ‘Find My iPhone’ app can even let you track their trail. A handful of your neighbours are seriously out of time and pocket because they participated in the democratic process that ultimately protects our rights and freedoms; though unfortunately not the tires of our vehicles that get us to work to pay the taxes that fund the programs that make Canada such a great place to be, more often than not. Darren McDonald Chilliwack

Right and responsibility to vote understand that there is some disillusionment and even apathy with some voters but it is foolish to give up this right, this responsibility, and this power we have as voting citizens. Politicians make deci-

sions, sign contracts, make laws, and spend our money. The least we should do is help decide which ones will get to do this. I have such strong feelings about this issue that I have had signs

made for my lawn that remind my neighbours and passing motorists to vote on Oct. 19. It’s our right and our responsibility! Michelle L. Gauthier

Driver makes best of sad situation Man’s Best Friend is Zoey, she was a small lap dog who belonged to my son who is special needs and this little dog helped him through many tough times. Saturday morning at about 10:30 a.m. Zoey was running through our property and my son was trying to catch her before she reached Vedder Road and South Sumas intersection. Unfortunately he did not catch

her in time and she was hit by an oncoming vehicle. My son ran out onto the road in the middle of traffic in his panic and hurting state to get his dog. Although the vehicle who hit the dog did not stay behind, we want to thank the very nice man who stopped traffic to help my son and remove his dog from the road. We appreciate it so much as

this was so devastating for him. There is still some very thoughtful people out there, and I wanted to acknowledge your efforts. There was so much going on, we didn’t get your name. This thank you is for you. We rushed Zoey to the vet, they did all they could but she did not make it. We appreciated your kindness at such a sad and hectic time.

LAST CHANCE FOR OUR 2015 CIVICS

Every Canadian should get out and vote Shame on every Canadian who doesn’t vote. It is our civic right and duty to do so. I wish it was mandatory and hope that one day it will be. I am proud to say that I have voted in every single election that has taken place since I have been eligible to and I

sincerely do not understand why everyone else does not do the same. Yes I am lucky to have been raised with these values, however, Canada is a modern country with an excellent education system and that should mean a better voter turn out

than we have. I’ve heard all the lame excuses for not voting and that’s all they are, excuses. We are lucky to be living in a democracy that gives us this right, that still many people in the world are not afforded, and as a woman I am eternally grateful to

optional side. ICBC officials also said they’re stepping up efforts to combat exaggerated and fraudulent claims. A new fraud analytics tool is to be deployed early next year to use data, algorithms and statistical methods to quickly flag patterns and high predictors of fraud early in the claims process. ICBC projects bodily injury claims costs will hit $2.3 billion this year, up from $2.17 billion in 2014. Those costs are up 64 per cent since 2008. The number of injury claims are up about 11 per cent from the previous year. Another basic rate hike is guaranteed next year. The province’s rate smoothing policy requires each new year’s rates be no more than 1.5 per cent above or below the previous year’s. That means ICBC will be considering an increase of between four and seven per cent next fall. The proposed basic rate hike, effective Nov. 1, must still be approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission.

Candidates make final pitch CANDIDATES from Front party’s priority to help Canada’s most “disenfranchised” group, young children. “Forty per cent of children here are entering kindergarten vulnerable,” she said. “We need to ask and challenge ourselves, if we are giving them the best start.” Libertarian candidate Alexander Johnson echoed De Jaeger’s feeling that Chilliwack-Hope isn’t well represented. “People don’t feel like their voices are being heard,” he said. Dorothy-Jean O’Donnell, candidate for the Marxist-Leninist Party, said the first issue is to “defeat Stephen Harper,” a comment met with some laughter. “But the second most important issue is how to bring about democratic renewal,” she added. Changing the way Canada votes was the theme underlining most of O’Donnell’s responses, and she urged voters to “vote (with) your conscience.” jpeters@theprogress.com

that pays $565 per month for all seniors, in addition to the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) that provides up to $766 per month to qualifying lowincome seniors. OAS is progressively taxed back for seniors whose combined income from other source exceeds $72,809. In an interview last week, Harper said his government has provided the biggest increase in the GIS in 25 years, and defended the move to phase in a higher eligibility age for OAS, starting in 2023. “We’re doing, frankly, what most other Western democratic countries do, make adjustments based on demographics,” Harper said.

Pensions and payroll deductions to finance them are a key battleground for the Oct. 19 federal election. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau sparked debate by endorsing the Ontario government’s plan to launch a provincial version of the Canada Pension Plan, with mandatory payroll deductions to finance it. The Liberal Party platform says only that a Trudeau government “will work with the provinces and territories, workers, employers and retiree organizations to enhance the Canada Pension Plan.”

employee earning $60,000 a year, the Ontario pension would reduce take-home pay by $1,000 a year, and similar payments by employers would lead to reduced employment. The Green Party platform also promises to expand the CPP, but provides no details. Trudeau and Mulcair have both denied Harper’s allegation that they plan to eliminate pension income splitting. Both have also vowed to cancel the Conservative plan to raise the eligibility age for Old Age Security payments from 65 to 67, which would not take full effect until 2029. OAS is not a pension plan, but a taxpayer-funded program

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has made a similar pledge to expand the CPP, noting that Ontario and Prince Edward Island have already put forward pension proposals. He plans to convene a meeting with provinces within six months of forming a government. Conservative leader Stephen Harper has rejected mandatory expansion, but has said he would consider a system of voluntary additional contributions to CPP. The Conservatives have promoted an increase in tax-free savings account limits to $10,000 per year and income splitting for married seniors. Conser vative Finance Minister Joe Oliver said for an

Rotarians sort and price books in preparation for their annual book sale. The week-long event kicks off this Sunday at Chilliwack Mall. JESSICA PETERS/ PROGRESS

Rotary Book Sale is a story of giving Jessica Peters The Progress Books upon books upon books. If you’ve ever wondered what hides inside the Rotary Building at Townsend Park, there’s your answer. Tens of thousands of books. They’re stacked to ceiling, piled from wall to wall. They’ve been sorted, priced and are all ready for sale. It’s a gold mine, of sorts. But unlike the famously greedy Scrooge McDuck, the people in charge of this vault have only the best intentions. Those people are Rotarians, and their efforts help fund many of the perks of living in Chilliwack. As a group stays busy flipping through paperbacks from cover to cover, and tossing them into the bins marked with different genres, they talk about the projects they’ve helped to complete over the years. Many of them are the jewels of the town — the Great Blue Heron

Reserve, the Rotary Hall at the Chilliwack Cultural, and the beautiful Rotary Trails at Vedder and Peach Creek. Others are more targeted to needs, like the Christmas dinners they provide at Bernard elementary, the industrial coffee machine at the Salvation Army, and a new electric stove for Ann Davis Transition Society. They also provide $35,000 in educational scholarships, and offer breakfast programs at four different local schools. That’s just a small sample of the good work they do. And much of the money they funnel back into the community comes directly from these books. Each year, they cart out about 80,000 titles, all carefully sorted and priced at bargain basement prices. Soft covers generally are priced at $2, hardcovers at $3. Specialty books may be more, but coffee table books that were once

priced at $80 will be priced in the $5 range. It’s hard to beat prices like that, and with 30 years of sales under their belt, the Chilliwack Rotary is prepared for the onslaught of buyers. For one week, a hefty team of volunteers mans hundreds of tables at the Chilliwack Mall, all laid out for book lovers of all backgrounds. It begins with a flurry of activity on Sunday morning, when the mall’s doors are opened at 7 a.m. Typically, devoted book buyers arrive well before then, lining up in the dark to take advantage of the early shopping hours, and biggest supply. And you never know what you’ll find among the tables, says Bill Rachar, book sale chair. “It’s like a treasure hunt,” he says. But there are a few things you won’t find. That includes ripped and damaged books, out-of-date manuals, or endless piles of magazines. In order to offer the best quality

and give shoppers the biggest bang for their buck, the Rotary does not accept any of those things, even beloved National Geographics or Readers Digest. There just isn’t a market for them, Rachar explains. And the volunteers are kept busy enough, with the work of keeping the books organized through the year. While some of the Rotarians work on mass sorting, others work on organizing books by author, subject and genre, and pricing. This is their largest fundraiser of the year, and it’s the one that takes the most people power with about 5,000 volunteer hours put in annually. Volunteers are constantly in and out of the building, delivering loads from the drop bins around town, planning out their marketing, and keeping each other entertained. The majority of volunteers are Rotarians, but they are open to all volunteers — as long as they are

hard workers. This year, there will be an extra bonus for buyers. The space most recently occupied by Toys R Us is being used for multimedia, including an area for 2,500 vinyl records. But therein will lie a real treasure hunt. The didn’t have a volunteer to sort through the pile, so buyers will have to come with a keen eye. There will also be some CDs and DVDs, but no VHS. Like the magazines, they are not hot commodities anymore, and won’t be accepted or sold at the sale. The Rotary Book Sale is being held at the Chilliwack Mall this year, and opens on Sunday, Oct. 18 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The sale runs whenever the mall is open through to Saturday, Oct. 24. Regular mall hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., except on Thursdays and Fridays when it’s open until 9 p.m.

Community Soroptimist Club celebrates 80 year history of making a difference In ever y decade since the mid1930s, Soroptimist Inter national of Chilliwack has made an impact within the community and beyond. On October 24th Chilliwack

club members and guests are taking time to celebrate that 80 year history with a special Pajamas and Pearls dinner and dance at the Coast Hotel. Char tered on

October 2, 1935 as the third club in British Columbia and the sixth club in Canada, the efforts of Soroptimist International are rooted in programs and services, many of which

endure in Chilliwack to the present day. In its first year, Soroptimist Inter national of Chilliwack sponsored the White Cane Club of Chilliwack. Through the late 50s, it sup-

ported a Chat Away Club, a drop in centre for seniors that by 1967 had evolved into the Seniors Society program. During 1968-69, the club undertook the organization, financial

1970s and 80s, major club initiatives included funding support for equipment for Chilliwack Hospital and Extended Care Unit. Other recipients of the club’s financial support during this time were the Downtown Family Place, Secondar y School bursaries, Chilliwack Youth Centre, Red Cross and Salvation Army. In 1979, the club helped fund and support the opening of the Anne Davis Transition House Crisis Centre, a facility that continues to offer services. In 1995, the Chilliwack club succeeded in raising $8,000, teaming up with the Fraser Valley Regional Library to supply kits for newborn babies under Raise a Reader literacy program. Throughout the 1990s to the present, Soroptimist International fundraising efforts have been dedicated to the further support of literacy programs, the start-up of Chilliwack Community Services’ Sardis Place, purchase of wheelchairs for Chilliwack Hospital, women’s crisis centres and helping the homeless. It has focused particular attention on education for women and girls and awareness of domestic violence and the growing local issue of exploitation of women and girls. Annually, the club has recognized the outstanding achievements of a “Woman of the Year” at a public event. The club’s efforts have had an international emphasis as well. Post World War II, fund contributions went to Britain and Europe to assist Soroptimists in peace time and recover y reconstruction. From the 70s to the present, financial support has been provided to a variety of projects in Central America and Africa promoting clean water and the education of young girls. Last year, when the Nigerian terrorist group BOKO Haram kidnapped 300 school girls, Soroptimist Inter national of Chilliwack held a “Bring Back Our Girls” demonstration urging the international community to work towards Continued: PEARLS/ p20

B.C. exports up in August

Motor Route Driver

The value of B.C. exports increased 0.9 per cent in August, mainly due to increased sales to the United States and a strong year for salmon and fruit sales. Compared to totals up to August 2014, agriculture and food products export value jumped 22.7 per cent in the first eight months of this year, according to the latest Statistics Canada figures. Whole salmon exports were up 48 per cent and fruit and nut sales up 44.5 per cent for the period. The value of energy products dropped 22.2 per cent up to August, driven by a slump in natural gas prices and a drop in value of coal exports. That was partly overcome by a 73 per cent surge in electricity exports for the period, although at lower prices for an increase in value of 32 per cent. The value of solid wood exports was up 4.3 per cent year over year, and pulp and paper exports grew by 3.5 per cent.

Let berries brighten your winter on a simple trellis, this very fast-growing evergreen will fit the bill in sun or partial shade and even on small space balconies. Its willow-like leaves are thornless and can be easily trained along a balcony railing or fence. Masses of white spring flowers turn into vibrant red berries all winter – berries the birds also can enjoy. If you have window boxes or planters that need a spark of colour and life, the beautiful and tasty berries of wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) will add that finishing touch.

Do you need a pop of colour for fall and winter? How about some vibrant berries that not only look fabulous but also provide food for our overwinBrian tering birds? MINTER To take full advantage of their beauty, they should be located in an area where they can be enjoyed at their prime, while also blending with companion plantings to balance the year with four seasons of colour. Also as many of us now live closer together in higher density situations, by being creative, many berried plants can double as privacy screens. So even in small spaces, winter berry colour can provide us with multiple uses. Yes they have thorns, but fast-growing evergreen pyracanthas provide some of the most stunning berry displays. Their orange, red or yellow berries simply glow in autumn sunshine. Their greatest ‘wow’ impact is achieved when they are fanned out against a fence or wall in an espalier form. Birds love the berries, especially during cold, snowy weather when little other food is available. When the neighbours’ pesky cats and dogs come onto our properties and leave little ‘treasures’, pyracanthas make a beautiful but thorny fence or barrier to deter them. Pyracanthas need a sunny location to berry up well. For a privacy screen, the willow leaf cotoneaster (Cotoneaster salicifolius) is one of the best. Fanned out

A little seasonal splash of colour, freshly cut or the branch BERRIES from page 23 tart but tasty winter berries have high levels of anti-oxidants, like their cousin, the blueberry. I think they are one of the

most under-used plants in today’s gardens. If purple is your colour, then callicarpa is your plant. Nothing screams purple like these deciduous shrubs

that perform best in sun and are equally at home in planters or ground beds. In winter I love to surround them with a complementary planting of dusty miller.

Callicarpas are even sold as cut flower stems for indoor enjoyment. Speaking of cut stems, the most popular of all for great berry colour is the deciduous

Viburnum tinus ‘Spring Bouquet’ is another of the most under-used plants. This sun lover, growing up to 1m in height and in a compact form, is full of bronze buds that open continually all winter with tiny white flowers, while last spring’s flowers now display tiny blue berries. The bronze, white and blue combination is quite subtle, but beautiful and you get to enjoy it all winter. These are but a few of winter’s multipurpose superstars ready to add some zip to your small space garden or container, not only in fall and winter but year round. Best time to plant? Ten years ago.

Their masses of shiny berries become the centre of attention throughout the winter, unless, of course, the birds discover them. As their leaves drop, all you can see is red, or on some of the newer varieties, gold. For Christmas displays, a few stems popped into a container really turns heads.

The Chiefs completed a not so easy three games in less than 48 hours weekend with four out of a possible six points. Fortunately for the Chiefs the four points earned came against Mainland division opponents. Road wins over Surrey (6-1 on Friday) and Langley (4-2 on Sunday) sandwiched a disappointing 5-1 home ice loss to the Penticton Vees Saturday. The two teams had played an epic overtime game won by the Vees 2-1 just a few weeks prior to Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, but this one was decided early. It was 2-0 Vees just 90 seconds into the game and it was 4-0 by the end of a first period that saw the Vees outshoot the Chiefs 25-9. The Chiefs were much better in the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final two periods but coming back from a four goal deficit against Penticton is nearly impossible. Sunday afternoon in Langley the Chiefs scored all four of their goals in the third period to erase a 2-0 deficit and pick up their first win in three tries against the Rivermen. Individually, a few players stood out to me. First year forward Kohen Olischefski was very good and scored a goal in each of the three games. Olischefskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive abilities are no surprise. Last season at Yale Academy in Abbotsford he had 71 points including 29 goals in 28 games. Forwards Kale Kane and Jake Smith also played well. Kane picked up three assists and his gritty style of play was a pain in the oppositionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side in each game. Defenceman Connor McCarthy had a good weekend as well, playing a lot of minutes

against some of the oppositionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top forwards. Going into this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action just one point separates the top four teams in the Mainland division. Langley leads the way with 14 point followed by Coquitlam, Chilliwack and Wenatchee who are all just one point back. The Chiefs tweaked their roster again this week, moving 19 year old forward Thomas Dunleavy to the Brockville Braves of the Central Junior A League in Ontario while adding 18 year old defenceman Nolan Zweep from the junior B Osoyoos Coyotes. The moves leave the Chiefs with a more balanced roster of seven defencemen and 13 forwards. The move also allows Zweep, who had seven assists in eight games with the Coyotes this season to play closer to his home town of Abbotsford. Two tough road games for the Chiefs this weekend who make their first of two trips this season to Vancouver Island. Saturday the Chiefs are in Port Alberni to face the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. The Bulldogs (4-6-0-0) arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t off to a great start this season but are always tough on home ice. Sunday afternoon the Chiefs visit the Nanaimo Clippers. The Clippers (7-5-0-0) have three of the top six scorers in the league. Sheldon Rempal, Matthew Hoover, and Devin Brosseau have combined to score 26 of the Clippers 48 goals this season. The Chiefs return to home ice on Wednesday October 21st when they host the Wenatchee Wild. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

player of the game for his strong performance at tailback, fullback and quarterback. Starting wide receivers Lyndon Arnush and Ben Amey and slotbacks Mathew Phillips Brooklyn Sallis also had standout games. The offensive line was anchored by Zach Wolter, Raiden Flaxman and Evan Butler. Jace Nessel led the defence with five tackles for loss and a long interception return that led to the Chilliwack touchdown. Linebackers Lucas Flaxman, Lucas Feaver and James LeBlanc moved well and stopped any run attempts up the middle. Safety Braeden MacDonald broke up several pass attempts and had two huge touchdown saving tackles. David Rogers and Kenyan Reid had great days as shutdown cor-

ners. Deaglan Perry was again a special teams MVP with a fantastic onside kick recovery. ● The atom Red Giants, were on the road this weekend taking on Abbotsford White. Quarterback Haiden Strieling took command of his offense and, with help from Joey Cyba and Micah Young, kept the ball moving down the field. Cyba and Strieling, scored touchdowns. A third would-be score by Brayden Fraser was negated by a penalty. The Giants defense struggled to contain the undefeated Abbotsford offense for the first half of the game, with Abby slipping through for two TDs. Jayden Porter and Lincoln Larson were key contributors, with Zachery Hinse recording three quarterback sacks.

Thank You

On October 4th, I was out for a walk with my friend. I tripped and fell on the road. A gentleman rushed from his house and helped pick me up. When he saw the damage he rushed into his house and brought out wet ones and paper towels. A lady in a red car stopped to help as well. She called the paramedics and also called my friend’s husband to tell him she would be late back. A 3rd gentleman on a bicycle also stopped to see if he could help. The paramedics arrived and were their usual kind and helpful selves. At the Hospital I had several stitches in my face. I would like to say THANK YOU to the kind people who stopped to help me. There are still kind, helpful people in this world.

Juliet was a great sister, aunt, gramma and a true friend even though she was battling the biggest battle of her life. She was loved by everyone who knew her. She had the biggest heart and would give whole heartedly to help. I know in my heart that she would not want any tears but just happy memories. So in her honour we will “celebrate her life”, as she would have wished, on her birthday on October 26, 2015 at her daughter’s place, Shawnigan Lake, Victoria.
