Conrad Lindblom of Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control was in Chilliwack with 30 of his goats for a pilot project with City of Chilliwack to control some Japanese knotweed near the Royalwood Golf Course. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ THE PROGRESS
Goats get a taste of Chilliwack Animals proving effective against Japanese knotweed Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The big question was whether goats would want to eat the gnarly weed known as Japanese knotweed. And the answer is a resounding yes. They like it; they really like it. Conrad Lindblom of Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control was in Chilliwack this week to take part in a pilot project near the Royalwood Golf Course, coordinated by City of Chilliwack. “Knotweed is a very invasive plant that’s hard to kill,”
Lindblom said. They were working on a big, thick swath of Japanese knotweed, that looks a bit like bamboo. The invasive plant was choking out all other vegetation on the bank against Evans Creek in Greendale. But the goats slowly chomped through most of the knotweed in a just a couple of days. “I never met a weed the goats didn’t like,” quipped Lindblom. They’ve been hired in the past for removing thistle and knapweed, he said, but knotweed is a whole new ball game
for them. It took a while for the weedloving goats to get enthusiastic about it. “They were cautious on the first day, just like when anything new is introduced, but they are going right after it now,” he said. Lindblom spent a couple of days at the site. It was his second time in the community. The first was in March when the goats targeted Himalayan blackberries and that trial was also a success. Lindblom was watching the goats Wednesday alongside researcher Natasha Murphy.
Murphy is working on her master’s degree in Ecological Restoration at BCIT and SFU, studying the efficacy of goat browsing on invasive plant species. “They are incredible,” she said about Lindblom’s goats, who were blissfully chomping. They would strip all the leaves and stalks off the plants for about an hour or more and then lie down for an hour or so to chew their cud. When they first arrived, the stand of knotweed was so thick, you couldn’t see the water of the creek. By the end of the second day the whole area opened up, Continued: GOATS/ p4

A ‘sold’ sticker appeared this week on the large ‘For Sale’ sign on the old Safeway site. The property at Main and Kipp, covering an entire city block, was bought by Surreybased real estate developers, Mann Group, The Progress has learned. All eyes are on the site because any significant revitalization of Chilliwack’s downtown is believed to hinge on what happens to it. “It’s very early in the process, and things are changing week by week,” said Ryan Anderson of OTG Developments, who confirmed the old Safeway property had been purchased. Anderson was hired for his expertise as a local land-use consultant to guide the Mann Group through the maze of paperwork involved with the land purchase and redevelopment process. “They are very encouraged and happy to be initiating this process, and they believe there are great opportunities to be had here,” said Anderson. Subjects have been removed and the closing date on the sale is set for later this summer, he said. Since the demolition of the old Safeway building last November, many have been speculating about what will become of the large

B.C. nurses ratify their five-year contract Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. nurses have voted 85 per cent to accept a contract with the provincial government that deals with staff shortages. B.C. Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil said Wednesday the new deal gives nurses a greater say in shaping health care policy, and represents improved safety and violence prevention.
Staffing levels have been the key issue in the lengthy negotiations, which produced an interim deal in May 2015 to settle 1,600 union grievances filed over staff vacancies. That included $5 million for specialty training and a $2 million “grievance settlement fund” to pay bonuses to nurses who worked short-handed. Health Minister Terry Lake said some of the 1,500 new nurse positions in the agreement are filled by
casual employees moving to fulltime, and others are new graduates. Shortages remain in specialty areas such as operating rooms, where an additional $5 million is included for about 850 nurses to take specialty training. The agreement includes $2 million for rural and remote areas that the BCNU says could be used for housing assistance or tuition relief to make positions more attractive. Lake said the use of “tele-health”
links has resulted in a significant reduction in trips to major health care centres to see specialists. And in April, the government announced expansion of its community paramedic program to 73 communities, replacing on-call paramedics with full-time jobs that include home visits and nursing home support. Nurses are the last major provincial employee group to settle under the B.C. government’s “economic
Long road for Syrian family in Chilliwack
Stepping up for Fort Mac
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Al Khawaldeh family is in good hands. The Syrian refugee family is making a new home in Chilliwack with the help of members of the Eastern Fraser Valley Refugee Committee, who are walking them through the process. “We’ve taken on the responsibility for offering social supports to this family of government-assisted refugees,” said Rev. Karen Medland, heading up the local committee. “They were here in the Fraser Valley already so we decided to do something in the interim while waiting for our sponsored family to arrive.” The committee brings together Agassiz, Rosedale, Carman, Chilliwack, and Mount Shannon United Churches, as well as Christ Lutheran Church, and community groups. Rev. Medland from Carman United has experience sponsoring refugees families in Kelowna. The Al Khawaldeh family has spent almost three months getting used to their spacious threebedroom rental in Chilliwack, after languishing a month in an Abbotsford hotel, and in Toronto for a month when they first got off the plane. It’s been a long haul for them to get here. The family includes dad Zach, and mom Mayaz and their five children: Nour, 16, Saffa, 15, Batwl, 13, Mohamad, 11 and Amir, eight. The committee members take turns driving the family to medical appointments, filling out forms, arranging ESL, or other steps along the way to becoming Canadian. “These are long-term commitments necessary to help these people build their new lives,” Rev. Medland said. “It’s that kind of social support that leads to successful integration, and learning how our system works.” Government-assisted refugees, or GARs, are refugees whose initial resettlement in
stability mandate,” which provides a share of economic growth that exceeds independent forecasts. The nurses’ deal also includes a 5.5 per cent wage increase over five years, similar to other public sector wage settlements. The contract covers 45,000 registered, psychiatric and licensed practical nurses represented by the BCNU, the Health Sciences Association and the Hospital Employees’ Union.

But for many, all that preparation will be for naught. “A dress is not the thing they’ll be grabbing when they’re running out of their home,” Chanel said. “They’d be focused on their family members,

Canada is entirely supported for a year by the Government of Canada, with support from NGOs. It’s a different from private sponsorship by a Groups of Five, under the Blended Visa Office-Referred (BVOR) Program, which the group signed up for originally. Across Canada there are GAR families being put up in hotels awaiting resettlement. They left their homes with what they could carry and are waiting to get integrated into the fabric of Canadian life. So officials from Community Services organizations started contacting sponsorship groups to see if they were willing to offer social supports in the interim for GAR families awaiting help. “We said we’d take one,” said Rev.

City eyes using goats as a non-chemical way to combat weeds like the invasive Japanese knotweed, seen here chewed down to its stalks. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ THE PROGRESS
Goats chew through invasive weeds GOATS from Front have opened up, with only a few chewed up stalks remaining in their wake. It will take several runthroughs to get it all, Lindblom said, and it could take up to three years to remove it all. “We can’t do it in just one grazing.” Ideally they’d target the patch in early spring, he said, when the shoots are young, to stress out the root system enough to kill
the plant. They’ll have to monitor and maintain, but so far it looks good for the pilot project with knotweed. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she could see how using goats for weed control could be a big help for Chilliwack. The premise is that using goats will save time and money in environmentally friendly way by controlling invasive plants better than pesticides. “These curious, intelligent and gastronomically indiscriminate
creatures have aided our city immensely,” said Gaetz. With an estimated 924 million goats around the globe, the possibilities are opening up in terms of using goats to eradicate noxious weeds. “I am grateful to our partners for approaching a complex problem with such ingenuity. Who doesn’t love goats? “They are efficient, and cheap with an indiscriminating palate. They don’t work for peanuts, but Japanese knotweed is a close second,” Gaetz joked.

first cover the gas money for the tenhour journey, and all remaining proceeds will go to the evacuees. In addition to dresses, Chanel hopes to collect donations of accessories and shoes as well. “We’ll take anything at all to make these girls feel beautiful again,” she said. “We want to give them something to look forward to, after going through the worst possible situation. They’ve been so brave.” They’ll also be accepting suits for young men. “All the dresses that have been donated so far are so beautiful,” she said, and sizes range from 00 to 18. When they arrive in Leduc, they’ll be meeting with a leader of a Fort Mac donations group, who has planned a full-day event for Fort Mac graduating girls to try on and pick out their dresses. Chanel is encouraging those who donate their dress to attach their name and number, allowing the new owner to send a photo of themselves in the dress on their special day. She’s also hoping to have a few firefighters in attendance to speak about fire safety. “My dad was a firefighter, he passed away when I was seven,” Chanel explained. “I believe in firefighters, they’re the real heroes.” Chanel begins paramedic studies in the fall, both in effort to carry on her father’s memory as an emer-

Videos show neighbourhoods of homes and workplaces levelled to the ground. The process of rebuilding and reestablishing their lives will take patience, strength and collaboration. So for those soon to graduate from high school, Chanel decided to help ease at least one of their stresses. By coordinating with the Fort McMurray school district, she determined that there are at least 800 grads who could potentially have lost their prom attire in the fire. She star ted the ‘Chilliwack Prom and Wedding Dresses for Ft Mac’ Facebook group, and put out the call to her network of post-grad friends and women from all over the Fraser Valley. “It became a huge hit,” Chanel said. “There are so many positive replies. So many girls want to do the same thing.” Her friend Lexy McClelland was able to spread the word further by going onair with Vancouver country music station JRFM. As the group grew to more than 600 members, women from communities across the province have been working together to plan what Chanel has coined the ‘Fabulous Female Festival.’ On Saturday, May 14 from noon to 6 p.m., join Chanel in the former Target parking lot at Cottonwood Mall to partake in a girl’s day for a great cause. In addition to the prom and wedding dress donation central, beauty students will be donating their time to offer services like hair styling, make-up application, henna, nail services and more. And on Sunday morning, Chanel and Lexy will be borrowing Wayne Goodwin’s cargo van to hand-deliver all the donated dresses to Leduc. Funds raised through services and snacks at the Fabulous Female Festival will

The cat came back... with help The Progress
When Jodie Fulcher’s cat went missing, she didn’t give up.
from a Craigslist post. One individual sent her helpful information about displaced cats, noting that when their survival instincts kick in, lost pets can last far longer than owners expect. On April 25, Jodie received a voicemail from a woman who was walking with her son and had seen the online posts about Charlie. She said she wasn’t sure if it was him, but she saw a grey cat along Teskey Road. Jodie dropped everything, ran up the hill and starting knocking on doors. She peeked through the backyards of one house after the next. She almost lost hope in her optimistic tip, and then she saw him. Charlie’s distinctive face popped up behind a fence post, just 15 houses away from his home. It seems he had been camping out in a dry spot he found underneath the nearby homeowner’s back deck. “I consider myself so lucky. He didn’t have a scratch on him,” Jodie said, relieved. He quickly scarfed down three meals worth of food to make up for lost time.
“But he was still him. Just happy to be home.” Through the stressful week, Jodie learned just how important our pets are to us, and how strongly people can relate. “I was so surprised by how many animal lovers there are
in this city. People went out of their way to help me find Charlie,” she said with gratitude. Like an impromptu tag-team, every time Jodie felt discouraged and gave up looking for the day, she’d receive an update from a friend or stranger saying that they’re going out to look for him. “They got so invested in somebody else’s pet. That was really cool.” Jodie’s experience serves as a reminder to keep an updated collar on your pet, and to talk to your veterinarian about having your pet tattooed and/or microchipped for permanent identification. But Jodie learned another valuable message as well. “If you lose your pet, don’t give up early. Use all the avenues you have available to you to find them,” she said. “Don’t just sit on your thumbs and hope. Get out there and be proactive.”

Sam Bates When Chilliwack resident Jodie Fulcher came home in the evening of April 20, she wasn’t greeted by her Blue Persian kitty, Charlie. The fluffy grey feline with a distinctive flat face has strictly been deemed an ‘indoor’ cat, since escaping when he was younger, landing in a bit of tussle. But Jodie thinks he must have snuck out just as her roommate was shutting the door at night. After a morning of searching near her home the next day, to no avail by Charlie’s dinner-time, Jodie’s concern for her faithful companion grew to distress. “Having a mom who’s a vet, I’ve seen cats who are torn up and injured come into the office all the time,” Jodie told The Progress. “So I was really worried knowing he was out there.” She called on her family, friends and neighbours to help – but she never expected the community to come together like it did. Jodie contacted the SPCA and animal control. Her dad created a stack of ‘Lost Cat’ flyers and distributed them through the Promontory neighbourhood. A friend of her mom’s posted a notice in a private Facebook group. “Then there was an outpouring of support from complete strangers,” Jodie expressed. A huge amount of comments and shares allowed the online post to reach a massive audience. It seemed half of Chilliwack was calling Charlie’s name and keeping an eye out for him when they went out for walks. Jodie even received encouraging responses

The past two weeks have been something all Canadians can be proud of. In the face of incredible adversity, we, as a nation, have come together to help out our fellow citizens. For many of us, the Fort McMurray fires hit on a personal level. There are many commuters from the Fraser Valley who make their living by flying in and out of the northern Alberta city. Others have friends, or family, directly affected by the terrible fire situation that continues to unfold in the region. Despite the harrowing images of destruction and people fleeing the flames, only one death has been attributed to the fire. Still, firefighters who continue to battle the situation are constantly in danger’s way, and our thoughts are with them. But to see how people from one end of this country to the other immediately reached out to Alberta and helped in any way they could was a testament to what makes this nation great. In Chilliwack, the great convoy of care was just one example. But there are others. Local Rotarians are gathering donations, fundraisers are being organized, and donations through supermarket checkouts and other venues are starting to mount. Elsewhere, a brewery stopped producing beer, so it could can water. A passenger airline flew numerous additional flights, landing at private airstrips to evacuate workers who had been stranded in camps. Families opening their homes to evacuees. People driving across the province, or in from neighbouring provinces, with truckloads of water, clothing and food. There have been impromptu fundraising efforts from B.C. to Newfoundland, to help the cause. The Red Cross had received more than $60 million in donations and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that Ottawa will match donations to the Red Cross up to May 31, without a cap. It will take a lot more than that to rebuild the once-thriving oil city. More than 1,600 structures have been torched. It will take years to recoup everything. But we are already working on it, and that’s what makes us special. Be proud, Canada. We are a great nation of people.

New strategies needed to battle interface fires Last week’s ferocious wildfire that torched areas of Fort McMurray, forced the evacuation of some 88,000 residents and destroyed 2,400 structures may be a foreboding of what’s to come during this year’s fire season. The weather system handed Western Canada a start date and it was early and nasty. For B.C., the season started on April 18 with the Beatton Airport Road fire 45 kilometres from Fort St. John and now 15,000 hectares in size. Similarly, the 2015 season kicked off in early May with the Little Bobtail Lake fire southwest of Prince George which burned 25,569 hectares resulting in evacuation orders. As the season progressed and worsened, firefighters came to help from other provinces as well as Australia, South Africa and the U.S. At the height of the season, there were
2,500 personnel working both the fireline and in support positions. In total, 1,144 homes were evacuated and 50 structures destroyed. Last year there were an above-average number of fires started and hectares burned, as well as significant impacts on people. In total, there were 1,836 wildfires in B.C. Margaret burning 280,465 EVANS hectares (24,787 hectares burned on the south coast) and costing $277 million in firefighting costs, torching the original budget of $63 million. Lightning accounted for over two-thirds (1,234) of the fires started while 602 preventable fires were started by people. Northern Saskatchewan too
suffered last year where more than 1.7 million hectares burned and 13,000 people were evacuated. Critical conditions coming together at the right time with the right balance are causing the destructive wildfires we’re seeing. On the heels of 2015 (the hottest year on record), this year’s potential for wildfires was set up last fall as we went into a warmer, drier winter driven by a strong El Nino. Fuel in the form of fallen trees, brush and grass on the forest floor became tinder dry. Less rain and a low snow pack starved regions of moisture. Then this year we had the hottest January and the hottest April on record. All it would take would be a lightning strike or a careless individual to spark the flame. Since 1825 when the Great Miramichi fire in New Brunswick

killed 300 and burned over a million hectares, Canada has had some really devastating fires. The mother of all of them was the Chinchaga fire in 1950 which swept through northern B.C. and Alberta, burning between 1.4 million and 1.7 million hectares. It created the great smoke pall that blanketed eastern North America and Europe. When it reached the Aleutian Islands, the haze had circled the globe. It was the largest recorded fire in North American history. According to a report covering a 2009 research forum by BC Ministry of Forests “Climate Change and Fire Management Research Strategy”, on average wildfires threaten 20 communities and 70,000 people annually in Canada and fire management costs Canada some $700 million a year. But this will rise as global

warming extends the wildfire season. In B.C. fire records have shown that the wildfire season has been increasing by one or two days a year since at least 1980. Fire is a natural part of the successive growth of forests and they have their own ‘personality’ whether they be ‘runners’ on the ground gobbling up grassland and bush or ‘jumpers’ torching the crowns of trees as embers race ahead. The danger is when they become interface fires threatening communities. The massive Fort Mac fire was dangerous in its rapid expansion into the city. In the coming months of future analysis, many new policies will emerge on proactive fire management and prevention. But what is unsettling is the aggressiveness of wildfires so early in the season.

Safer community starts with us Well, as one might expect, recent criminal activity here in Chilliwack has resulted in numerous calls for more police and more jail time. Many of us are feeling less safe these days and I’m not sure this feeling can be fully attributed to an increase in Chilliwack’s criminal activity. In my view we currently live in a fear-driven society. Fear has become a valuable tool for our politicians, and elected leaders. Frightened citizens are far less likely to support progressive change but instead more likely to prefer the safety and security of the status quo. This translates into incumbent politicians keeping their jobs, more police, more jails and more criminals. In addition, I think we can all acknowledge that fear-based news sells. Social and mainstream media these days are full of things we should be afraid of: various foods, diseases, terrorists, wars, products and now even our public services like welfare, health care and edu-
cation. Yes we have lots to be afraid of and not much to be happy or optimistic about. At least that’s what our society would have us believe. It has become a challenge to stay positive about ourselves and our neighbours in these predominantly negative times with so many bad things happening here, there and everywhere. Is there a fair and justifiable correlation between our current fear and crime in Chilliwack? Just wondering. However, I’m convinced we do have a problem. Yes we have a problem, not city council and not our RCMP. This is our problem and it’s up to us to solve it with help from our police and our city council. First, can we arrest and jail our way to a solution? Personally I doubt it. This brings to my mind the “Whack-a-Mole” game. You hammer one and another pops up somewhere else. What about finding and addressing the root causes of these crimes. I suspect
we would find, poverty, lack of education, addiction, alienation, mental illness and helplessness heading the list. Until such time as we address these issues in meaningful ways we will continue to treat the symptoms and not the causes of crime. A great start might be some serious efforts to create a strong sense of community in our respective neighbourhoods. Block Watch might be a good place to start. Let’s focus on building relationships. Get to know your neighbours. When individuals connect, unite and build community together many of the typical urban problems like property crime will disappear. People start looking out for each other and helping those in need. Come on Chilliwack, let’s not look to others, lets start working on this together. We can and should do this. Ken Bramble, Chilliwack
Promontory congestion concern We have lived on Promontory for 15 years. I love Promontory. We have a great community here up on the hill. There is always lots of building going on up here, and I have no problem with that. My problem is that we only have two exits off the hill. We are a community of about 10,000 people and yet we do not
have a lot of options to going up or down the hill. It would have been nice if before some of the other building going on, that we also had an exit down to Chilliwack Lake Road or Vedder or somewhere. But now, that is impossible. If you have ever driven up or down our hill before school starts, or after
when they are trying to get home, you would know some of what I am talking about. But if you just think of the current situation with the fires in Fort McMurray and the people struggling to get away from the city, you would understand our concerns. If we were ever in a situation like that and Ryder Lake had
a wildfire that we all had to evacuate at the same time. There is no way that we would be able to all get off the hill at the same time. We would not all survive. Can something be done about this? Can you provide for us another exit? Somewhere? Anywhere? Sheila Harder

Bouquet for banquet
I recently spent two weeks in the Chilliwack General Hospital and I wish to say that the dedication and caring of the staff were of the utmost. The doctors, nursing staff and everyone in general looked after me and the other patients on Ward 4 with the very best of care at all times, 24/7. I had to be transferred to Abbotsford General Hospital five times for radiation treatment and the hospital transfer drivers and staff were of the very best as well. This was the first time I had been in a hospital for an extended stay in 45 some years. The last time was in VGH some 35 years ago. The standard of care and compassion is still outstanding.
The Seniors’ Bursary Dinner was held on May 4 at the Chilliwack Secondary School to a sold-out crowd of 200. The banquet room looked very attractive with tablecloths of yellow and blue adorning the tables making it look very spring-like. Everyone in attendance enjoyed a delicious chicken dinner with all the trimmings. The committee wish to thank Teaching Chef Terry McDougall, Chef Sharon Touchet, Judith Booker and Shelley, their co-workers and the culinary arts students for the delicious dinner they prepared and served. Students did an excellent job of serving us. Proceeds are allocated to bursaries. These banquets are held twice a year in May and December. Once again thank you for attending and supporting this great evening.

News Community helping to make a home for Syrian family in Chilliwack But still some of the refugee group is feeling slightly frustrated with the glacial speed of everything to do with the refugee paperwork. “It’s also the reality that the kind of help that is needed from us now is very intense and specialized,” said Rev. Medland. The federal government has said it will bring in another 10,000 Syrians by the end of 2016, or early 2017. That’s to answer the protest from Canadian groups that had raised thousands of dollars, lined up accommodations and were waiting for families. There’s a bottleneck in the system that is keeping other refugees holed up in hotels awaiting accommodations in a very tiny rental home market. Many suspect that now that Canada has welcomed 25,000 refugees already there’s not the urgency there once was to keep the lines moving.
So the committee is just doing what they can, enjoying the moments as Canada gains another new family. “What we’re hoping for is patience from everyone,” she said. It’s going to take a while to get everyone up to speed, in terms of English skills, driving licence requirements and employability that will make the family members able
to contribute to society through meaningful employment and community involvement. The dad of the family, Zach Al Khawaldeh, is trained as an electrician, and high voltage wire repair. He hopes to eventually get certified to work in his chosen trade. He said he feels very grateful for all the help the committee has offered. “Ever yone is so
nice.” The focus recently was on getting a hold of driver’s licence documents in Arabic, so he could study and take the test. But what he really wants is to grow a lemon tree like back home where everyone used to have their own olive and lemon trees. “The weather is so nice in Chilliwack. I think I will grow lemons like at home.”

News Adrian Raeside caps his pen, sort of It is with regret that the Chilliwack Progress announces the retirement of Adrian Raeside, the award winning illustrator who has been providing editorial cartoons to The Progress for many years. Raeside’s biting wit has taken aim at the rich and powerful, and the ordinary and mundane. He’s brought levity to the serious, and simplicity to the complex. However, after 38 years of daily deadlines, Raeside says it’s time for a change. “I am immensely grateful for all the support in the form of letters, emails and posts I have received from readers and editors over the years,” he says in a note on his website. “Without you, I would not have had such a long run.” Raeside is not laying down his pen for good. He will continue to produce and expand his syndicated comic strip The Other Coast. He also has a few more books he’d like to author. The Progress editorial page, meanwhile, will be home to a new feature. Starting today, we’ll be inviting readers to submit their photographs to be featured in our “Community Camera.” To submit your photo, simply email it to editor@theprogress.com

New owner for former Safeway site SAFEWAY from Front property, which is seen as so ripe for redevelopment. The former Safeway site has seven lots on it with a combined area of about three acres, bounded by Main Street, Kipp Avenue, Mary Street and Princess Avenue. Its central location makes it pivotal, and it will likely be mixed use development. “At this point things are very preliminary, and they are going through various iterations of the plans,” said Anderson. What is different about this site, is that the rezoning was not applicant-driven, but rather it was spearheaded by city council. It was a deliberate effort to make the zoning dovetail with their vision for Downtown, as contained in the Official Community Plan, with some of the highest density compared to anywhere else in Chilliwack. Council approved rezoning of the entire block last fall, going from commercial, to high-density multi-family residential, and commercial, as well as a CD 15, (comprehensive development) zoning. The developer can propose other rezoning options, should they choose to. Mann reps have already started meeting with city and CEPCO officials as well as stakeholders. “Chilliwack has a good reputation for development, and (Mann) they have been enjoying the experience,” said Anderson. Mann Group specializes in commercial, industrial, retail, and multi-family projects. “Established in 1989, Mann Group has extensive experience in land acquisition, project design, construction and project financing,” according to the company website.

Getting down to business with Chilliwack’s Barb Kemp on Wellington. These guys all worked so hard and they were so dedicated,” she enthused. In 1985, they sold Classic Cards and Barb went to work for her dad at Coast Office Equipment. “I did that until 1990, then we bought back Classic Cards a year later. I took a bit of a sabbatical to have a couple of babies,” she laughed. In 2000, Classic introduced scrapbooking and that side of the business took off. “We basically outgrew our location, so we moved the scrapbooking side of the business to Alexander Avenue and called that store Classic on Alexander. We retained the other store, in the heart of downtown, calling it Classic on Wellington.” It was during this time that Barb began a time of passionate interest in the affairs of her community. She got involved with the

Downtown Business Improvement Association, leading that organization as their president for 3 years. She also became part of the Chamber of Commerce board, the CEPCO board and the Tourism Chilliwack board. “I met some incredible people and learned many things along the way,” she said. By 2010, the face of retail was beginning to change and the decision was made to close Classic on Wellington. “I needed to concentrate my efforts and energy on those things that were doing incredibly well. We were offering classes, doing workshops and holding special events at Classic on Alexander and that’s where I needed to be. Balancing two balls was just proving to be too difficult,” she said, plainly. Continued: ANA/ p14

like my father. It’s something that gets into your blood,” she said, enthusiastically. Barb began working six days a week and not only did she truly enjoy the experience Ana – she MACEDO thrived! “I just really loved the people and to this day, my very best friend is someone that I met at the store,” she added. Barb admits that she has had several mentors along the way. “Well first off, dad (Fred Hails) has been a great mentor and he’s been very supportive. Then, there were guys like Chuck Fowler, Rod Cooper, Iain Murray and Dick Graham. These guys were all great downtown businessmen. I basically grew up on the streets

When Barb Kemp gave me a behind-thescenes tour of her new store, Fraser Valley Real Deals on Home Décor, I must say that I was impressed. As a junkie of shows like HGTV’s Fixer Upper, it was like walking into paradise! After strolling around and looking at all of the home décor options, we finally sat down for a little visit. Although she was born in Vancouver, Barb was raised in Chilliwack and considers this her home. “We moved out here in ‘65 when I was little because of my dad’s work. Dad worked in the office industry and because the Fraser Valley was growing at the time, that industry needed a salesman here.” The family bought their first home at Cultus Lake but it wasn’t their forever home. “Mom rode her bike everywhere but she couldn’t drive and as a result; she hated it there, so we moved into town,” she smiled. Six years after moving to Chilliwack, her father opened up Coast Office Supply. “His company wanted to transfer him back into the city and he didn’t want that. He knew that he could find success by opening up his own store and that’s what he did. After dad opened up the business, mom began doing his books,” she explained. While in school, Barb did what the daughter of every good entrepreneur does. She helped out with the family business. “I dusted the furniture and the cash registers and I photocopied statements,” she laughed. All through high school, she also worked at the Paramount Theatre but as graduation was looming, she didn’t quite know what she wanted to do. “I enrolled at Fraser Valley College but just when I graduated, dad bought Hepburn’s Stationery which we renamed Classic Cards, in downtown Chilliwack. We sold greeting cards, stationery and giftware and I quickly found that retail is what I wanted to do. I became an entrepreneur just

chise that with 80 stores, has seen great success not only in the US but also in Canada. “Real Deals on Home Décor, is very unique. You find treasures from all over the world that you won’t see anywhere else, at affordable prices. The concept is a bit different in that the store opens only 3 days a week – Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The other days of the week, we are preparing and re-working the store so that when you come in again, you’ll see new and fresh items. You will find new products and new displays each week so that it’ll always be a new discovery.
ized that the industry had changed too much and that I needed to do something else.” But what should she do? She began to think things through. The time away from the retail sector had allowed her to evaluate what she really liked versus what she knew she didn’t want to do. She recognized her knowledge and her passion for retail and decided to open up another retail business. The only question was, specifically, what business? After much research and thought, Barb resolved to become involved in a fran-
ANA from page 13 Then four years later, Barb decided to make another change. She left the store in the hands of capable staff, to take on a new challenge. Walas Concepts, a Dutch based company with offices in Vancouver, was hired by the City of Chilliwack and CEPCO to help kick start the redevelopment downtown. They hired Barb to join their team to assist in that effort. After the stint with Walas, Barb returned to Classic. “I came back renewed and refreshed but quickly real-

The store will open where Classic on Alexander used to be,” she said. Barb is intensely busy but she’s focused, committed and excited about her latest venture. When she finds any down time, she can usually be found in the yoga studio, unwinding from a long day at the shop. “I’m still committed to giving back to my community and currently involved with Tourism Chilliwack and Community Futures of South Fraser.

Chilliwack Secondary entrepreneurship students came up with novel ideas for products or services, pitched them to a ‘Dragon’s Den’ of Chilliwack business owners, and brought them to life. Brendon Renaud-Gervais and Lauren Johnston (left) own Got Groceries delivery service, Matthew Sande and Haley Thompson created Elegant Collections (top right), and Jamal Saad-deen, Cole Lang and Mitchell Cedilla sweeten things up with their Slam Jam. SAM BATES/ PRORGRESS
Student entrepreneurs share business at Kids Expo Sam Bates The Progress The Grade 12 Entrepreneurship class at Chilliwack Secondary is a classroom bursting with ideas. From initial brainstorming all the way to production and sales – these students are tackling an experiential learning project like none other. For eight years, teacher Matthew Ferris has been teaching entrepreneurship as a viable career option by showing students how it works. As the class divides into small groups to start sharing ideas for their own product or service, they’re being exposed to entrepreneurial ideas from around the world and in their own community. “We have guest speakers, each group invites one in, and they talk about how they got their business up and running,” Ferris said. Local business owners like Sam Waddington from Mt. Waddington’s Outdoors, Richard Procee from Hofstede’s Country Barn, and Ian Sparkes from Sparkes Corn Barns were
also invited to participate in the in-class Dragon’s Den activity. “Having a community member come in and give feedback and advice provides real-world perspective. It’s not just a teacher and a textbook,” Ferris explained. “And it’s a nice way to involve the community.” Even ffter so many years of teaching the course, Ferris never tires of it. Every class is completely different because students are coming up with novel ideas. The Elegant Collections team came up with their idea through Pinterest research. They realized that they could create and sell trendy hand-made jewellery and decor that customers might not have the time or artistic ability to make themselves. Their painted and decorated mason jars are “universal” in purpose, appealing to a wide market. “They could be used as planters in the garden, you could have some in the garage, the kitchen, the bathroom or bedroom,” Haley Thompson said. They promote the storage jars – which can be purchased in a set for a better deal – as well as hand-
made jewellery holders and Matt Sande’s quartz necklaces using social media. Mitchell Cedilla, Cole Lang and Jamal Saad-deen have taken a sweet approach with their business, Slam Jam. First, they tried making salsas, but quickly realized it wasn’t a feasible option. When they switched to jams, they knew they were in a crowded market. “So we thought, how about soda-flavoured jam?” Saad-deen explained. Flavours like Root Beer and Cream Soda allow them to appeal to a unique market, and the lessexpenseive ingredients allow them to offer customers a lower price point. While coming up with the recipes was the easy part, finding time to get their name out there – while balancing their other school work and part-time jobs – has proven to be quite a hurdle. Targeting seniors and busy families, Brendon RenaudGervais and Lauren Johnston of Got Groceries aim to make it faster and easier for the people of Chilliwack to get the food they need in a crunch.
Through retail experience and the advice of the Dragons, they’ve capitalized on the importance of the personal connection. “We actually come to your door and shake your hand,” RenaudGervais explained, which sets them apart in the industry. “They write out their list, and give us the money to go get it.” In addition to social media, they’ve taken extra steps to promote their business by designing business cards and a car magnet, and offering incentives for customers. They’re continuing to build a customer base by reaching out to and following-up with as many people as they can. Each of the groups are gearing up to promote their business at the All About Kids Expo this weekend, a first for CSS’s entrepreneurship class. Elegant Collections is busily building up their inventory to display as much as possible. Slam Jam is cooking up a variety of samples to hand out to guests. Got Groceries is practicing their sales techniques as they prepare for the opportunity to directly reach their target market.
In addition to the exposure, it’ll be an opportunity to look at the market from a seller’s perspective. What’s out there? How are they marketing it? What creative tactics are they using? “Some groups do really well, and some struggle a bit,” Ferris said. “They’re going to get out of this project what they put into it.” Regardless, they’re learning skills that will look great on a resume, and lessons that will help them in just about any career. As classmates transition from friends to business partners, their leadership and problem-solving skills mature. As they set their prices and compare their costs with net profits, they’re learning to budget. Through risk assessment, they’re learning how and when to make the tough calls. The most rewarding part of the process, Ferris says, is seeing the progression. Students start with nothing but an idea. Within a few short months, they turn that idea into profit. The All About Kids Expo takes place May 14 and 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Heritage Park. Learn more at allaboutexpos.com.

Over the course of Mental Health Awareness Week, several public community events in Chilliwack have raised over $2,500 for the Chilliwack Youth Health Centre (CYHC). CYHC has further raised their profile by presenting to the School District #33 Board of Education and Executive to highlight the early success of the Chilliwack Youth Health Centre. Speaking to the CYHC’s role in our community, recent, robust research suggests that a health centre targeted towards youth, that offers a holistic range of services in one location, is needed in our community.

Evidence comes from a 2012 McCreary Report regarding students grades 7 to 12, which notes that 12 per cent of youth who thought they needed medical care did not or were unable to access services. It’s findings also revealed that 16 per cent of youth reported a mental health condition and, of that, 61 per cent didn’t access emotional or mental health services because they didn’t want their parents to know. Aiming to reduce barriers to accessing care for medical and mental health for youth and young adults (age 12 to 26), the CYHC offers free, confidential services to youth on a drop-in

And sometimes it’s about things like depression, anxiety, addiction, or psychosis,” said Dr. Madill, lead physician for the CYHC. “Our goal is to start the conversation and challenge youth to begin where you are with the person next to you.” The CYHC Neighbourhood Learning Centre location (46361 Yale Rd.) is open Tuesdays from 1 to 8 p.m. The CYHC Sto:lo site (7201 Vedder Rd.) is open Tuesdays from 2 to 5 p.m. Visit divisionsbc.ca/chilliwack/cyhc for more details.

Community Workshop helps Chilliwack residents newly diagnosed with dementia “You have dementia.” It’s a phrase no one wants to hear from their doctor yet it’s a reality for an everincreasing number of Chilliwack residents. Alzheimer’s disease is the second most feared disease for Canadians as they age. To help residents understand this pressing health issue, the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. brings its free workshop, Getting to Know Dementia, to the area on Thursday, May 26.
Par ticipants will receive basic information on dementia and the impact it has on individuals, their caregivers and their support networks. The introductor y session reviews the challenges of receiving a diagnosis of dementia. Participants will learn about the different types of support available throughout the dementia journey, how to begin planning for the future, and strategies for living well. This session is
intended for people experiencing early symptoms of dementia, as well as family members or friends who are currently supporting a person with a recent dementia diagnosis. The workshop is not intended for the general public or health-care providers. The workshop runs from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Heritage Village, 44140 Luckakuck Way. Pre-registration is required, by calling 604-702-4603 or e-mailing info.southfraser@ alzheimerbc.org.

Debra Fieguth, whose journalistic career began at The Chilliwack Progress in the late 1970s, passed away as the result of a massive stroke on May 8 in Kingston, Ontario. Lloyd Mackey, editor of The Progress from 1975 to 1980, recalls Fieguth joining the reporting staff around 1977, shortly after graduating from the wellregarded journalism program at Vancouver Community College. “She proved to be an excellent reporter, meticulous in her research, a congenial interviewer with a clear, simple and often innovative writing style,” Mackey says. After about five years with The Progress, Fieguth returned to school, completing a BA in English at UBC in the mid-eighties. Not long after, she became a staff reporter, then editor, of BC Christian
News (co-founded, as it happened, by Mackey and printed for many years on Black Press presses.) In the early 90s, Fieguth “went national”, joining the staff of a Winnipeg-based evangelical newspaper, ChristianWeek. It was in Winnipeg that she met her husband, Ian Ritchie, a theology professor. After their marriage, they moved to Kingston, where he became an Anglican parish priest and, later, an official in the Kingstonbased Anglican Diocese of Ontario. Fieguth became deeply involved in Anglican communication and refugee assistance work. She and Ian were also known for extensive hospitality to international students, many of them studying at nearby Queen’s University. Fieguth’s journalistic work, in later years, revolved around her

Weighing in on what’s new in the tomato world he weather has been T a bit crazy this year and I can’t believe how
fruit. ‘Super Fantastic’ (70 days-I)is a powerhouse of production with lots of 284g fruits right through until frost. These mid-season and mid to larger sized tomatoes are the mainstay for so many folks with smaller space gardens. Offering superb production, their flavour is excellent and the quality of their fruit is high. The standard of early tomatoes for years has been ‘Early Girl F1’ (60 days-I). It’s the earliest slicing 113-170g tomato, and I know for many folks, it’s the only tomato they grow. Cherry tomatoes have become some of the most popular tomatoes today because of their ease of care and their early and long production of bite-size, very sweet fruits. ‘Sweet 100’ has been the most popular variety for years, but a disease tolerant version, ‘Sweet Million’ (60 days-I) allegedly has more delicious small fruits. These taller growing varieties produce
masses of sweet fruit that are extremely high in vitamin C. This once almost exclusive domain has been taken over by a plethora of newcomers.

To up the stakes (or steaks) there is now a ‘Porterhouse’ tomato supposedly weighing in up to 1800 grams! One of the best selling large round tomatoes is ‘Better Boy F1’. Weighing about 227g, it is flavourful and very disease resistant. The old, well-known Burpee ‘Big Boy F1’ is still a good variety with handsome fruits sizing up to 227-255g. There’s a new series of modern mid to large tomatoes that are shorter, more compact and ready in about two months. An All American Selection winner, ‘Celebrity’ (72 days-D) produces large very smooth round 227g tomatoes with great flavour on very compact plants. ‘Bush Champion’ (65 days-D) is another compact variety growing only 60cm but producing plenty of 250-340g wonderfully round tasty

many tomato plants have already hit the ground. The most popular of all types are the huge sweet slicing tomatoes, commonly grown in BC’s Okanogan Valley and in Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula. In the past old-fashioned field tomatoes, like ‘Beefsteak’ and ‘Stokesdale’, were in a class by themselves with fabulous aroma and flavour. Today, however, there are newer varieties with far more disease tolerance, earlier ripening times, huge easy-toslice oval shapes Brian and still great MINTER flavour. One of the largest is ‘Beefmaster F1’, weighing in anywhere from 340-560g and maturing in 70 to 81 days. It’s also very tolerant of cracking and peeling. A slightly lighter weight beauty, ‘Big Beef F1’ checks in at only 284-340g, but it has almost twice the yield. It’s also very disease resistant. ‘Beefsteak’ is still available but because of its ‘age’, it is now classified as an heirloom variety.

FRUED’S LAST SESSION is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
The Chilliwack SPCA took home this year’s BC SPCA Branch of the Year Award at the society’s annual general meeting in Abbotsford May 7. “Deciding which branch to recognize as the BC SPCA Branch of the Year is never an easy decision – staff and volunteers at all of our branches across the province do great work, each and every day,” says BC SPCA director of regional operations Jane Talbot. “The BC SPCA Chilliwack Branch stands out for several reasons – one of the main ones being that it completed its financial year with a budget surplus of more than $79,000, by exceeding revenue goals in three key areas:
adoption revenue, branch fundraising and the Paws for a Cause fundraiser.” While monetary goals are important, especially in a nonprofit organization, money isn’t everything, and Talbot notes the branch, led by branch manager Ivanna Ferris, is a “cruelty hub” that often needs to open its doors to the most vulnerable animals in BC SPCA care. “Ivanna and her team of staff and volunteers have developed a well-earned reputation for answering urgent and often last-minute requests,” Talbot says. “It was the Chilliwack branch that accepted all 16 dogs in a seizure case that included 68 cats – in less than two hours.
Three weeks later, it was also the Chilliwack branch that took in more than 19 ringworm-positive, sick cats and kittens, after having just cleared ringworm from their shelter. It is precisely this responsiveness and responsibility that makes our entire organization stand out as a trusted resource that helps protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in British Columbia.” In another instance, Ferris demonstrated customer service that went above and beyond the norm in a case regarding the surrender of three Guinea pigs, Talbot says. “The caller, who happened

to be a donor, felt respected and supported, and more importantly, she understood the issue was taken seriously and quickly resolved,” says Talbot. “Three months later, a $25,000 cheque arrived in the mail. Upon calling the donor to thank her, Ivanna learned the donation was a direct result of how she was treated when discussing the complaint.” The entire branch, including its active Community Council, constantly lead by example with their compassion, dedication, and expertise, she adds. “Congratulations to Ivanna and the Chilliwack team! It is well deserved,” Talbot says.
Tomato time in the garden TOMATO from page 25 now grown in containers. My all-time favourite is still ‘Tumbler F1’ (48 days-D). It’s the shortest cropping variety out there and I would argue their determinate status as I have simply given up trying to keep up with their amazing production. I love their sweet fruits that just keep coming. ‘Tumbling Tom’ and ‘Tumbling Tom Yellow’ (75 days-D) are also great container varieties and both produce on short (45cm) spill-over plants. Italian, roma and plum are paste tomatoes that are very popular for preparing those amazing sauces that make ordinary pasta come alive and also make great ketchup. ‘Roma Hybrid’ (78 days-D) is the best known and perhaps the most productive. These oblong plum-shaped tomatoes produce in abundance and have good flavour when ripe.
important than ever of seniors to consider the key elements of a long, healthy and happy life – one of these being physical activity. Physical activity is important at any age; however, as we get older it becomes increasingly important for health durability, mental health and overall quality of life. Research shows that people who are active have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression and even dementia. Regular exercise in old age has as powerful effect on life expectancy, and an increase in physical activity is directly associated with better health and a longer life. Through the aging process, it’s important to listen to your body and exercise at a rate that challenges you, but doesn’t exert you. Physical activity is classified as anything that gets your body moving. This can range from walking and gardening, to an exercise class, to basic arm exercises while seated in a chair. Ideally, research suggests that seniors you should try to do something physical every single day, even just for ten minutes. Remember, certain activities should be practiced under the supervision of a health care professional to ensure safety. As I previously mentioned, research shows that physical exercise can assist in warding off disease, and also act as a tool for prevention. In fact, for some cases, exercise is used as an effective form of
treatment for chronic conditions. For example, elders who struggle with arthritis,

Progress Eric
Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com
Extra time winner sends Sardis to provincials Eric J. Welsh, The Progress
Meghan Rose was so mad last year when the South Delta Devils knocked her team out the Fraser Valley playoffs. They were lucky, beating Sardis on a sketchy penalty call that haunted Rose for 12 long months. Until Wednesday, because that’s when Rose got her revenge. With less than half a minute to play in an intense game against those same Devils, No. 18 in green got payback with a seeing-eye shot that found a sliver of space between the South Delta keeper and the right goal post. Her dramatic strike gave the Falcons a 3-2 win and a spot in provincials. And it crushed the Devils’ dreams. “I cried last year when we didn’t make it,” Rose said. “They (South Delta) got a penalty kick in the last minute that the referee shouldn’t have called. They scored and that was it.” “I’m so happy now, and I just want to win it all.” High school soccer games don’t get more entertaining than this, with two evenly matched teams going toe-to-toe for 96 minutes in an ultra-intense showdown. The Falcons are used to being bigger and stronger than any opponent.
But South Delta didn’t give an inch and nearly escaped with the win. Twice the Devils led, opening the scoring nine minutes in on a lob shot over the head of Sardis keeper Makena Lejeune. A Mackenzie Silbernagel strike had the Falcons even at halftime (1-1), but South Delta led again just four minutes into the second half with a header off a corner kick. Sardis was the better team, but for a while it felt like it might not be their day. Even the weather seemed to conspire against them, howling in their face throughout the first half and dying down to nothing in the second half when it might have been an advantage. Nikki Gregory exemplified the Falcon frustration. The speedy striker with the fantastic footwork was knocked around like a sock in a dryer every time she ventured down the right wing. Eventually she had enough, coming in with a hard tackle on a Delta defender. She was given a yellow card. “I kept getting knocked and got frustrated and it just had to happen,” she said with a laugh. “I was so mad at them.” A voice on the Sardis sideline suggested at one point that Gregory go down to draw a foul. She didn’t want to do that.

“Sometimes you have to do that to get the free kicks,” she said. “But I wanted to keep fighting out there, stay tough and keep playing hard.” Like Rose, Gregory made the Devils pay in the best way possible when she tied the game at twos midway through the second half. From a sharp angle and quite a ways out on the right side, Gregory
looped a high-arching circus shot over the head of the South Delta keeper, slipping it under the cross-bar at the top left corner. It was either incredibly precise, incredibly lucky or a combination of the two — the type of shot seen on English Premier League highlights. “It felt really good, like in your face!”
Gregory laughed. That set the stage for Rose’s winner. It was Talia Ferris making the feed, one of several excellent passes she made in this game. Rose wiggled her way into space and launched her shot. “Oh my gosh, it felt so good I thought I was going to cry,” Rose said with a grin. Sardis coach Richard
Tagle suggested afterwards that this was the best game his team has played all year. “I’d for sure agree with that,” Rose said. “We haven’t played a team that’s been that physical and that much of a challenge,” Gregory added. “We’ve had a lot of games that were like 10-0, but this was a big battle.” So it’s off to provin-
cials, which run June 2-4 in Tsawwassen. “We’re awesome,” Rose said when asked how good she thinks her team is. “Every game from this point on is going to be as hard as this one,” Gregory said. “We’ve got to keep working hard and believe in ourselves. If we play like we did today we’ll do great.”
Connor McLellan and his University of the Fraser Valley golf teammates are on a roll, winning their fourth straight event last weekend. McLellan, a Chilliwack native, helped the Cascade men to first place at the Southwest Oregon College Invitational, played at the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, OR. McLellan’s crew trailed Bellevue College by two strokes after Sunday’s opening round but rallied on Monday for a four-stroke triumph. UFV combined for a score of +34 to edge Bellevue (+38) and the University of Oregon club team (+43). McLellan shot 12 over par and tied for 14th individually.

Getting race ready at the Agassiz Speedway Lighter is faster so I removed 14 bolts that I just don’t think I need, writes Robert Adams As the saying goes, ‘Failure to plan leads to planning to fail.’ Well, here we are once again, getting literally and figuratively ‘geared up’ to go racing this Saturday at Agassiz Speedway. This time, I’m doing all I can to ensure I have a plan that works. It’s simple really. I plan on winning. As I have mentioned to you a couple of years back, many of us drivers do only superficial inspections, just to ensure we can actually complete a lap or two. That generally leads to just that, a lap or two followed by the car falling apart somewhere. This spring I have made a concerted effort to spend more time ensuring both me and my car are better prepared for the racing season. I think the key here is to actually do more than you did last year, and you should place better than you did last year. So here are the four key things I did this year that should help in going a long way to a successful win. Number one: Get the car and driver lighter.
Lighter is faster. This year, I removed another 14 bolts in the fenders and frame that I just don’t think I need. (We will know Saturday night) That shaved at least 4 extra ounces. I also lowered the tire pressures by letting air out a bit on each. I don’t know what it saved weight wise yet, but will calculate that later. Finally I spent the last three weeks cutting down to only two beer a week, and ultimately losing about half a pound. All in all, I’m making excellent progress over last year. Number two: Streamline the car for reduced drag. I spent about two hours just hammering out dents and duct taping up corners. I spray painted, actually washed and even went so far as polishing the car with real wax. I got most of one side to look like it was only in two accidents rather than six. I could add Bondo, but that adds weight, so will live with having it bumpy but shiny.
Ensure all liquids and fluids are filled. Here I’m a little perplexed, as I’m trying to reduce the weight, yet successful drivers constantly rag on those who run out of fuel or fail to put oil in the engine. So I bit the bullet and ensured oil and fuel were added appropriately. So in order not to violate rule number one, I added five-weight oil, rather than 30-weight. As the numbers would clearly have you believe 30-weight is six times heavier than five-weight right? Also, I used 87 octane rather than 110, as it too probably contains less additives and octane and should be lighter. Man, I am catching on fast. Number four: Actually take the car to the track and test it out before the first race. I didn’t do that last year, and paid the price. This year, I actually

took the car out on the track during a ‘test and tune’ day where you can check your performance and ensure all is well. I did extremely well until the drive shaft fell out. I shoved it back in place though and realized that one of those

bolts I took out under rule number one should go back in. See, I’m getting better already and should win hands down. Come on out to see how well my Hornet 61 engine holds up this Saturday at 7 p.m. against all the other Hornet drivers.

ZEROWEL Charles
November 1, 1917 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; April 30, 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Charles Zerowel on Saturday, April 30 at Royal City Manor in New Westminster. Charles was 98 years old and continued to live in his home until very recently. Charles was born on November 1, 1917 in Russell, MB. His parents had come to Canada from Austria in 1897. Life was hard in those early years on the prairie but Charles found time to play his two favourite sports, hockey and baseball, while attending Russell Collegiate High School. He also did a little boxing, which might explain that distinctive nose. Charles worked as a plumber before joining the Canadian Army in May, 1941 as an artillery surveyor. Following training he was sent to England that same year, and subsequently crossed the channel to the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, 1944 with the 14th Field Artillery Regiment. Charles eventually returned to Canada with the rank of Bombardier Gun Sergeant, and received his discharge from the Army on Dec.7, 1945. He re-enlisted in May, 1951 with the Royal Canadian Air Force and served through to his retirement in May, 1968 with the rank of Sergeant. Civilian life saw Charles employed as a tradesman with the federal public service, working in Drumheller, AB and later in BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lower Mainland until his final retirement in 1992. Charles had three children with his first wife Margaret, who predeceased him. First-born William died as a young child. Elder daughter Billie passed away in 1996 and is survived by her husband Don Northup and their grown children Susan and Charles, who between them have four children. Daughter Rita Marie lives in Winnipeg with husband Leonard. Their grown children David and Julie each have two young children. Charles re-married in 1972 to Thora Mathilde Thoner, a tall, elegant Saskatchewan lady of Norwegian background. Although they settled in Chilliwack she shared his later love of golf and of the southern sun, and they spent many winters together golfing and cultivating snowbird and American friends in Arizona and California. They also played bridge, and his somewhat reckless approach to the game severely taxed her limitless patience. Thora passed away in March of 2006. Charlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of travel persisted. He enjoyed a commemoration trip to France in 2012, a tour of Ireland in 2014 and a visit to Toronto in 2015 to see his beloved Blue Jays play a home game. Charles is sadly missed by his friends and family, including many close relatives on Thoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side. A Celebration of Life will be held at 12:00 noon on Saturday, May 21, 2016 at Woodlawn Mt Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Avenue, Chilliwack. In lieu of flowers a donation in Charlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to The Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society would be most appreciated. The family wish to thank Dr, Cameron Ross and the staff of Crossroads Family Practice for the excellent care provided to Charles over many years.

RAMM, Alice V. April 4, 1922 - May 5, 2016 It is with immense sadness that Aliceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family announces her passing in Vernon, B.C. at age 94. Alice was born in Didsbury, AB and lived in Chilliwack for many years before moving to Lumby in 2014. She was predeceased by her parents, Elsie and Harold Tighe; her first husband George Gillrie; her husband Henry Bramwell Ramm and son Douglas Gillrie. She is survived and greatly missed by her sisters, Bernice (Bunny) Sterling and Jessie Scott of Chilliwack; her son Barry Gillrie (Darlene) of Red Deer, AB; her grandchildren: Tammy (Pierre), Clay (Monika), Todd, Darrell, Norton (Simone), Claire (Kathy), Vaughn (Camille) Lindsy (Ralph); great grandchildren: Tyler (Robin), Hannah, Josh G., Keith, Isaiah, Jessica, Aidan, Kaila, Shawn (Tracy), Wade, Shane, Shyloh-Dawn, and Josh B; eight great-great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Alice was a long time member of the Chilliwack Legion Branch 4 and a life time member of the Legion Ladies Auxilliary. She loved crafts, music, road trips and most of all, her family. She was a social butterfly and be it a summer picnic or Christmas dinner, she was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hostess with the mostessâ&#x20AC;? - always happiest when surrounded by loved ones.
Thank you to Dr. Bright of Chilliwack, Dr. Barss and her caregivers of Lumby, staff and volunteers of Vernon Jubilee Hospital and Vernon Hospice House.
