Popkum ‘poppin’ with proposals for development Robert Freeman The Progress

Cambodian rep said. “The seasonal use of land resources and livestock raising methods leads to better production,” he noted. “The way agriculture is run here is based more on technology.” The tour was part of a capacity-building mission launched by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities with SIDA funding. Chilliwack was specifically chosen by FCM to be part of Municipal Partners for Local Economic Development (MPED) program. The delegates also got a tour of UFV’s Trades and Tech Centre, RCMP scenario training at PRTC, Tourism Chilliwack, Heritage Park and City Hall. “They’re trying to match up

Commercial development projects are poppin’ up all over in Popkum. Construction is about to get underway in one project north of the traffic roundabout at Highway 9 and Yale Road, while another commercial-residential project south of the roundabout is still in its early stages and must yet go through a public hearing for rezoning. And across the Trans-Canada Highway in nearby Bridal Falls, redevelopment of the former Dinotown theme park is getting renewed interest at the Fraser Valley Regional District. “It’s going to make a real difference to the look of Popkum,” Bill Dickey, the area’s director at the FVRD board, said. A soundwall to reduce traffic noise is also in the works north of the roundabout, and a pedestrian tunnel south of the roundabout is a “desirable” feature mentioned in the official community plan for PopkumBridal Falls. “More and more people in the community are walking,” Dickey said, and the idea is to make pedestrian linkages to allow that to happen, with connections to trails leading to the Cheam Wetlands Regional Park. “All of those developments ... will add to our tax base,” Dickey said. North of the roundabout, The Popkum Country Market and Esso Gas Station is expanding to include a Tim Horton’s drivethru, a liquor store, and an “On The Run” convenience store. Maria Mendes, assistant manager at the Country Market, said construction is expected to start “any day now” with a target opening sometime next spring. “It will be bigger, better, newer,” she said. “I think it’s going to be great, we expect everybody to come visit.” A public hearing was not required because the property at 52855 Yale Rd. is already zoned commercial, but neighbours were notified for their input.

Chilliwack sharing knowledge with Cambodia Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack has been sharing its economic and agricultural expertise with struggling communities in Cambodia. A Cambodian delegation arrived in Chilliwack last week, and spent four days touring success stories on the economic development front. CEPCO president John Jansen, the lead Chilliwack rep, travelled to Cambodia twice so far, and officially hosted the visiting delegates last week with City of Chilliwack. “What we wanted to demonstrate on the tour is what is possible in their own communities,” Jansen said. The Cambodian delegation got to explore a state-of-the art

dairy farm, a busy greenhouse, an innovative poultry farm, a large manufacturer and some world-class show gardens. “Farming is one of their big challenges,” Jansen said. Environmental sustainability and gender equality are a couple of other goals, along with updating their agricultural tools. The Cambodian economy is 60 per cent driven by agriculture, but the farming practices haven’t changed in decades. The poverty level is so extreme it’s measured by what people earn and how many calories that can buy. Jansen learned that $2 a day can buy the equivalent of 1500 calories, but 27 per cent of the people can’t even afford that. “Cambodia used to be one of the largest exporters of rice, but now they are net importers. So

there are lots of issues.” Some of the delegates were from the Municipality of Kampom Cham, while others hailed from the Municipality of Takhmao. Ev Bunthol, deputy director general in Cambodia’s Ministry of the Interior, told The Progress he was surprised by several things he saw in Chilliwack. “I was surprised by how well the city is managed, by the living standard of the people, and the good heart of the people,” he said. He expressed appreciation for the support and knowledge extended by the City of Chilliwack to the Cambodian people, through the FCM program. But what was most impressive was learning about Chilliwack’s agricultural practices, the

News Feature

‘I was Clifford Olson’s lawyer’ Monisha Martins Black Press In a Twin Otter plane, Robert Shantz and a team of armed Mounties sat cramped with a shackled Clifford Robert Olson. It was a long flight from Kingston, Ont. to Abbotsford in November 1982 – a secret journey orchestrated in the hope the serial killer would guide police to two or four more bodies. Out of prison, a grinning Olson could barely contain his glee. Well aware he was a master manipulator, the RCMP had a camera trained on him throughout the flight. “We were setting up to go to Victoria to deal with a couple of unsolved murders that both the investigators and I were convinced he was responsible for,” says Shantz, the Maple Ridge lawyer who defended the man who described himself as “The Beast of B.C.” in Canada’s first serial killer case. Olson and the police never made it to Victoria. By the time the Twin Otter taxied on the run way in Abbotsford, Olson’s excursion had been leaked to the media. A car chase ensued as the cops tried to lose the journalists and their cameras. Then B.C. attorney general Allan Williams panicked and ordered the Mounties to fly him back to Ontario. “He did not care that the RCMP wanted to resolve these unsolved murders. Olson was such a hot political topic that they didn’t want the heat.” The province of B.C. assured the public, still outraged by the cashfor-bodies deal negotiated the year before, there would be no more agreements with the killer. When Olson died from cancer at the age of 71 last Friday, Shantz was the first to be notified. “He died with secrets and these are some of the secrets he died with,” Shantz says, pausing as he puffs a Players cigarette in his office. A talented student of law who was picked to prosecute a capital murder case just six years after being called to the bar, Shantz was a seasoned attorney, someone who had already logged 100 murder trials by the time the Olson came knocking. Shantz first met Olson in 1976 as a key witness in the Gary Francis Marcoux trial, which involved the sexual slaying of nine-year-old Jeanne Doove. At the time, Olson was locked up in the penthouse of the B.C. Penitentiary – a floor that housed sex offenders, informants and murderers. Marcoux needed an alibi for the murder and Olson conned Marcoux into writing a confession,

which he promptly supplied to police. Olson acted like he had empathy for the slain nine-year-old and told investigators he wanted to help because: “We’ve got to keep the kooks off the street.” Four years later, Olson would be nailed for a similar crimes. In a span of nine months, between November 1980 and August 1981, Olson killed 11 times. The first victim, 12-year-old Christine Weller, was abducted near her Surrey home while riding her bike in November of 1980. Her body was found on Christmas Day, strangled and stabbed. Three others were also picked up in Surrey – 13-year-old Colleen Daignault, 16-year-old Sandra Lynn Wolfsteiner and nine-year-old Simon Partington. Daryn Johnsrude, 16, Judy Kozma, 14, and Raymond King Jr., 15, all vanished from New Westminster. Ada Anita Court, 13, and Sigrun Arnd, 18, were picked up in Coquitlam. Louise Chartrand, 17, was picked up walking in Maple Ridge and Terri Lyn Carson, 15, was found strangled in Chilliwack. Olson lured most with the promise of a job, then plied them with alcohol and drugs. He tortured them, raped, killed them, then dumped their bodies. Shantz had children who bracketed the ages of Olson’s victims, so deciding to represent him was difficult. But Shantz had been Olson’s lawyer for several years by then. “What is very scary about these people is that they don’t have any

appreciation about the horror of their conduct,” he says. “When they are telling you about what they have done to a child and are talking with glee in their voices and accomplishment – that makes your hair stand on end.” The affect defending Olson had on Shantz’s life was staggering. The heavy price was described years later during the Pickton pig farm trial as “the Shantz factor.” As a lawyer, Shantz had always managed to keep the evidence of each case separate from his personal feelings, in airtight containers that never leaked their gruesome details into his personal life. With Olson, that was hard. There were times when he wanted to throttle Olson, moments when he thought: “If these were my kids, I’d killed the SOB.” The public, however, didn’t see Shantz as a lawyer just doing his job, they questioned whether he was human, equated him to the killer. By the time the $100,000 “cashfor-bodies” deal became public, Shantz was receiving death threats and hate mail, including one smeared with faeces, and his children were targeted in school. Seven families of Olson’s victims decided to sue, naming Olson and his wife Joan, Shantz, and Jim McNeney – the lawyer looking after the cash deal. Though a judge initial ruled that the $100,000, plus interest and legal costs, had to be returned, the ruling was overturned on appeal. By then, Shantz had parted ways with his law firm partners.

At the Canadian Legal Conference in Montreal in 2003, Shantz presented a paper on his experience with the Olson case. Shantz had been involved in many murder cases before Olson: defending or prosecuting people who killed because they were angry; for revenge; people who butchered with passion; or because they were insane. None had killed for the sheer pleasure of it. For Olson, each day he murdered was “a bright, sunny day.” “One does not escape unscathed from an encounter with a sociopath,” Shantz said. “I began having difficulty relating normally to other people. I shied away from people I didn’t know.” Olson had been in custody for almost two weeks before RCMP made the offer to pay for information on the location of the bodies. Desperate to find the children, the investigators had tried all their usual tricks in an effort to get Olson to talk. They interrogated him in tag-teams for days, moved him from cell to cell, all to no avail. It was only the mention of money that piqued the killer’s interest. “The only element that had any compulsion for him was to tickle his ego,” says Shantz. “I am quite satisfied that he would not have divulged that information without having got, what his ego thought, was a win.” Olson also did not want to wait for a trial, which would have likely stretched a year. “Olson got antsy and decided he

wanted to plead,” says Shantz. “I think he was of the view that too much information would be revealed about the murders and that he wouldn’t be able to write his book. It’s typical of a sociopath with the ego the size of a bus.” In exchange for $100,000, the Attorney General guaranteed 11 first-degree murder convictions, ended an expensive police investigation, brought some closure to the parents of the missing children and calmed the fear that ripped British Columbia for more than a year. Shantz believes convicting Olson of the murders would have been a long shot. “The evidence of death is abundant, but the evidence connecting the deaths to Olson was very sparse.” It would have been easy for Shantz to slip into an abyss following his ordeal with Olson. Oddly, the very source of his problem also led him on a path to recovery. After he was sentenced, Olson authorized Shantz to work with RCMP to solve a number of murders. Shantz spent years scouring police files, trying to work out a timeline to see whether crimes matched with Olson’s claims. The Mounties were looking for evidence to link Olson to as many as 30 murders, including the killings of 12 young women since 1973 along the Trans-Canada and Yellowhead highways. Much of the work proved futile. “He was extremely good at weaving untruths in with truths, and making the determination of what actually is or is not true is very difficult to do,” says Shantz. But his encounter with one of the world’s most callous sociopaths has yet to shake his faith in humanity. After representing Olson, Shantz swore off criminal law. He focussed on civil and family law, and threw himself into volunteering within his community. He helped found the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation, spent years on the board of the Maple Ridge Community Foundation, remains a legal advisor to Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey and is a proud Rotarian. Olson was a totally destructive creature, says Shantz. “I recognized he was tearing the fabric of communities and didn’t have feelings for that at all. One of the things that I could do is help create fabric that maintains healthy communities, which care for all their members. That, to me, is a very worthwhile project, and what many members of society have to learn. The only way people are going to learn that is if they see others doing it. If you lead by example, you can do that.”

Sacha Peter is seeking a second term of office as park board commissioner for Cultus Lake Park Board. Currently the park board chair, his re-election platform focuses on continued efforts toward financial sustainability for the park board. “We have made great strides in improving our financial performance over the past three years,” Peter said. “I also commit to avoiding an increase in residential density so people will not have to experience extra traffic congestion and strained infrastructure.” Highlights from his first term range from “leadership” on budget decisions taking them from deficit to a small surplus; a governance voice against amalgamation with Chilliwack, and implementing “open and accountable” meetings with a public questions period. A resident of Chilliwack, Peter is a certified management accountant, self-employed in policy and communications work for the public sector, financial analysis, accounting and writing. Two other candidates for Cultus Lake Park Board have thrown their hats into the ring. Austin Ross, 18, and Carlton Toews, 52 announced their candidacy for park board commissioner in a joint press release Friday, offering a “new vision” and “new leadership.” “Improving the park is everyone’s dream and goal. It’s time for long term planning for facilities, operations and financial development,” according to their release. “The Board must embrace an entrepreneurial mindset to achieve these never

FVRD staff recommended the regional board grant a building permit and a development variance permit. The project is in a development permit area, which sets standards for the “form and character” of the buildings, and includes provisions for landscaping and pedestrian walkways. Since the late 1980s the property has been used as a farmers’ market, gas station, convenience store and rural liquor store. Mendes said a restaurant shown in a FVRD staff report is no longer part of the project. FVRD staff said in the report that a two-storey building with commercial space on the ground floor and a residential dwelling unit above may

also be considered, “provided no other dwelling exists on the property.” Progress questions about possible highway improvements needed because of the developments, and the $480,000 “noise barrier” were not answered by B.C. Transportation Ministry officials before deadline. A three-storey motel, restaurant, convenience store and gasoline station are eyed in the rezoning application south of the traffic roundabout. Also on the FVRD radar is redevelopment of the former Dinotown theme park into a strata RV park, although regional district staff have raised concerns about the proposal. But Dickey supports the proposal, and no opposition was heard at a public hearing in April on the “substantive” bylaw change needed to allow bare-land holiday park developments in the Popkum-Bridal Falls area. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Chilliwack reaches out to Cambodia

CAMBODIA from Front “They’re trying to match up cities to help some developing countries with economic development,” said Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “John is really into agriculture and innovation. It’s both his passion and his expertise, and he taking it to the next level with this program.”

Gaetz said when Jansen toured the country the first time to choose program participants, he saw fallow land, and thought the issue was water. So he started talking about irrigation. Then he found out the real obstacle to crop cultivation was the land mines buried underground. “From our perspective, we

wouldn’t even think of that,” Gaetz said. Modernization of Cambodia is progressing slowly on different fronts, but family values and an entrepreneurial spirit are still strong in the places he visited, Jansen said. “And that was good to see,” he said.

Jansen said he was honoured Chilliwack was chosen for this project among applicants from across Canada. “We’ve been given a tremendous opportunity to help out a nation that has gone through so many struggles, so if we can assist in even a small way, it’s worth it.”

Get back to the table The shape of policing in B.C. is in much doubt, following revelations that the federal government and B.C. government are at odds over the next RCMP contract. While the federal government apparently has set a Nov. 30 deadline for the province to sign a 20-year contract, Heritage Minister James Moore was downplaying that deadline last Friday. Provincial Solicitor General Shirley Bond revealed the deadlock when she spoke to municipal officials at their annual convention last week. Cooler heads need to prevail. The RCMP need B.C. just as much as B.C. needs the RCMP. There are 6,000 Mounties working here – the most of any Canadian province. B.C. is right to insist on greater accountability for the RCMP. While a civilian oversight agency is being set up, the RCMP themselves must be more accountable to the province and local governments. With the exception of cities such as Abbotsford, which have their own police forces, municipalities also have grave concerns about budget implications. There is a good chance that the RCMP will become unionized, and that employee costs will rise sharply. The federal government, which has the most tax authority in the country, should be willing to accept a one or two per cent annual cap on additional costs to be borne by the province and municipalties, and absorb anything above that figure. It has far more ability to absorb those costs than local governments, which are dependent on property tax. Such a clause would also prompt Ottawa to be much more rigourous in managing RCMP expenditures. The two sides need to get back to the table and bargain in good faith. At the same time, the province and municipalities need to have a plan B fully in place. – Black Press

Take a walk toward health and happiness Last week, delegates at the International Walk21 Conference in Vancouver endorsed the living quality of the city as a great place to walk not only for fitness and recreation but as a way of life and a place for pedestrian travel. Physical inactivity is on the rise and surfacing with deadly consequences as we become more addicted to labour saving devices and as towns and cities develop their infrastructure to accommodate more cars and more bikes at the expense of safe, effective and interconnected pedestrian paths and walkways. According to the World Health Organization, physical inactivity is associated with 3.2 million deaths per year including 2.6 million in low and middle income countries, over 670,000 premature deaths (people aged under 60 years), and around 30 per cent of diabetes and heart disease conditions.

“Physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for all global deaths with 31 per cent of the world’s population not physically active,” said Dr. Ala Alwan, assistant director-general for non-communicable diseases and mental health at the World Health Organization (WHO). In a press release earlier this Margaret year, WHO stated EVANS that under taking 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity can reduce the risk of breast and colon cancers. “Physical activity has a strong role to play in reducing the incidence of certain cancers,” said Alwin, adding that, in 2008 almost 480,000 women died of breast can-

cer while close to 610,000 males and females died from colorectal cancer. Walk21 was formed over a decade ago to foster ‘walkability’ in the thinking of urban planners as they design the future of their communities. Through annual conferences in major cities around the world, Walk21 exists to promote the development of healthy, sustainable and efficient communities where people are free to choose to walk as a way of life and a form of travel and where a community’s infrastructure is designed to encourage and accommodate walking. It wasn’t that long ago when children walked to school, played outside all day, got together with friends for impromptu sports, climbed trees, and ran around in the local parks. Now they are driven to school even if it’s just a block or two away, hardwired

to TV remotes or a computer mouse, and text their friends on cell phones. What happened to playing outside? The anxiety meter has risen in recent years about weight and obesity, now considered an epidemic. According to the Childhood Obesity Foundation, in Canada over 26 per cent of children and youth (1.6 million children) are considered overweight or obese. The number has tripled in the last 25 years. A whopping 59 per cent of Canadian adults are considered overweight or obese. And if the trend continues, in 20 years 70 per cent of 35-40 yearolds will be overweight or obese. The health consequences and the health costs will be staggering. People may face of lifetime of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, bone and joint problems, respiratory problems, sleep disorders,

liver disease, skin infections and chronic fatigue. Health costs already eat up 41.7 per cent of the B.C. Government’s budget and it’s a given this will continue to rise. So it seems an almost nobrainer that getting out of the chair and going for an energized walk for an hour a day is the first step in life-changing habits. If towns and cities have safe and appealing walking loops that are user–friendly for families, seniors, and people with disabilities who still benefit from mobility, all the better. Besides, said the folks at Walk21, physical activity makes people happier. The fresh air, pumped action, and freedom experienced when walking bring families and friends together. Such a simple concept.

Listen, learn, then vote Why do so many people tell me they don’t like politics, or that they don’t care if we’re in an election year? Politics apply to every individual’s life, or at least it should. Don’t be apathetic and trust that your local politicians are always going to work on your behalf. Engage them! Don’t be jaded and believe that politicians are only in power to benefit themselves. Hold them accountable! “We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions,” U.S. President Ronald Reagan once said. My measure of a healthier

community is one that communicates. One where our municipal government has an ‘open door policy’ and our citizens aren’t afraid to listen, to learn, and to speak out. “Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped with barbed wire; it wafts across the electrified borders,” U.S. President Reagan observed. Am I naive? No. People in other countries speak out all the time. Take a moment to think about how speaking out has transformed the political landscape of the Middle East in this past year. The greatest blessings we have in Canada are the rights that were so valiantly fought for years ago and continue to be defended today.

Specifically, I am referring to our right to peaceful assembly and our ability to have honest conversations with our elected leaders. We cannot afford to take these blessings for granted. Participate in the conversation! On November 19, each of us has the privilege to elect six councillors and one mayor to represent us. What will you do with this opportunity? It’s only available every three years. I urge you not to ignore something you don’t understand. For the health of our community, make it your business to listen, to learn and to speak out.

of sizes including adult apparel. These items will be collected from now until November 5th at the school and distributed the week of November 7-10th. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

and spreading the word throughout the community. All donations of shoes, boots and clothes are greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance, for your help. Clara Hooper

Buyers must still be aware I recently had a visit from a gas marketer. For those seeking a fixed market price over a five-year period the peace of mind this promises to provide may be a good thing. For others it can be an unpleasant surprise when they discover their gas bill has increased in cost. Several years ago I entered into a contract for the peace of mind that a fixed rate offered. A few years later I realized I had been paying double the rate charged by my gas provider. I then took the steps available and paid the penalty

costs to sever my relationship with the gas marketer. From that experience I decided to be more astute in the future. However, to my surprise, I am again dealing with another marketing company contrar y to what I had been led to believe. During the recent visit with the gas marketer representative I politely listened to things I really didn’t understand. At the conclusion of his presentation I was asked to sign a form to confirm that information had been shared. Fortunately, later that day I read the fine print and discov-

ered I had actually signed a contract. I then took immediate steps to cancel by way of the 10-day cancellation option. This is something the police and other agencies consistently warn the public especially seniors, about. If there’s pressure to sign something that sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Most of all don’t sign anything you don’t understand. You are protected by law in most matters but the onus remains on the buyer to be aware.

Adrian Albulescu: A life tuned to music Adrian Albulescu grew up in a country where secret police maintained rigid controls over free speech and the media and where they tolerated no internal dissent or opposition. Romania was a land ruled by Nicolae Ceausescu, a communist who amassed great foreign debt by mismanaging industrial ventures in the 1970s. As a result, he tried to pay off the debt by ordering the export of much of the country’s agricultural and industrial production. The resulting drastic shortages of food, fuel, energy, medicines, and other basic necessities drove Romania from a state of relative economic wellbeing to near starvation. “Living conditions were horrible, just horrible. We couldn’t find anything. We couldn’t find toilet paper, socks or any meat or anything else and my famAna ily was at least somewhat MACEDO privileged. My father was a boss for a state insurance company and my mother worked in the area of arts and culture. She scheduled and planned shows and concerts,” he explained. Ceausescu’s regime collapsed after he ordered his security forces to fire on antigovernment demonstrators in the city of Timisoara. The demonstrations spread to Bucharest, and on December 22 the Romanian army defected to the demonstrators. That same day, Ceausescu and his wife fled the capital but were captured and taken into custody by the armed forces. On December 25, the couple was hurriedly tried and convicted by a special military tribunal on charges of mass murder and other crimes. Ceausescu and his wife were then shot by firing squad. While life in Romania was hard, the family carried on as best as they could. At the age of seven, Adrian’s father determined that he would learn to play the violin and the youngster began taking lessons. “The first year of lessons you had no violin at home. You couldn’t practice at home but after that you could,” he said. He practiced often and quickly become very, very proficient at playing the violin. After high school, a school that was specifically for gifted students, Adrian went on to attend the University of Bucharest where he graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Music. With a degree under his belt, Adrian

went on the road and for four months played guitar with a rock band. After his short stint as a rock star, he decided to return to his original love – classical music. “I played the violin and my wife at the time played piano and we toured Norway, Sweden, Germany and Italy,” he said. It was while they were in Italy that they decided not to return to their native homeland and began to research immigration options. “We read about Canada and decided that this was it. We arrived in Vancouver 20 years ago and I’ve lived here ever since. I love it here,” he said enthusiastically. After arriving in Canada, Adrian began teaching music at the Langley Community Music School, the Chilliwack Academy of Music as well as the Central Valley Academy of Music in Abbotsford. He is a very accomplished

musician who composes and writes his own music. In addition to teaching violin and guitar privately as well as through the Langley Community Music School and the Chilliwack Academy of Music, he is also the concertmaster of the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra. “I have also been concertmaster of several other orchestras including the Chilliwack Chamber Orchestra, the Burnaby Symphony Orchestra, Symphonietta and Philomusica.” Adrian lives and breathes music; it is the foundation of his life. He founded the Quasi Bene Youth Orchestra, which competed and won gold at both the Langley Kiwanis Music Festival and the Chilliwack Lions Music Festival. Quasi Bene has also presented several performances in the Fraser Valley; including an appearance with the CSO as well as

with the well known 12-year-old prodigy violinist and pianist Jonathan Chan. Adrian is also a member of the FourTe String Quartet. He plays violin with sincere passion, along with Karen Fehlauer on violin, Charlene Bentum on viola and Ken Nachtigal on cello. Collectively, they play a most intriguing and extensive repertoire that spans from Baroque to Classical and from Romantic to Gypsy. “Our string quartet will take you on a journey through tangos and waltzes, pop and movie soundtracks.” Adrian is quite settled and happy with his life. “I’ve been back to Romania at least four times since we defected or immigrated and things are much better now but I am happy with what I am doing and with where I am. I’m a proud Canadian,” he said sincerely.

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

The Mission... The Vision... An Enduring Purpose... A Future Focus... Who Am I... My Promise... These words begin to describe how I differ for the norm. I have spent the past 16 years in the Sales, Marketing, and Advertising field. It is this background that gives me a unique perspective of how a home should be marketed. Are you tired of leaving messages that aren’t being returned? Do you find it annoying when the homes advertised in the newspapers are not as they seem? Wouldn’t it be nice to work with someone who understands your point of view? Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than having satisfied clients whom I have helped to reach their real estate goals. I provide you with the highest degree of professional service excellence and customer satisfaction that is “TOUGH to BEAT.” I am Mike DellaFortuna, and it would be my pleasure to help you.

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

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualiﬁed to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true.

Video tour offers peek inside UFV a contact form. “The best part of this project was being able to share my own positive experiences,” said video host Carlos Vidal, UFV Student Union Society president and fourth-year business student. “Working with HuStream and UFV was an incredible experience,” said video host Sheetal Deo, a fourth-year political science student. “I hope we were able to create something that will help students navigate their way through the campus and university life with a laugh and a smile — even if it is at our own expense!” The interactive video tour was filmed over two days in August, at both UFV’s Abbotsford campus and the Trades and Technology Centre (Canada Education Park) in Chilliwack.

The University of the Fraser Valley just made it very quick and easy — and a whole lot more entertaining — to find out almost everything you ever wanted to know about becoming a student at UFV. By teaming up with Kelowna-based HuStream, the university has produced a new interactive video tour, now on UFV’s website. Titled Get 2 Know UFV, it consists of 17 short video clips on what UFV is really like, what programs you can take, what it costs, and how to get in. Hosted by two fourthyear UFV students, the video segments each end with a variety of buttons inviting viewers to choose what they want to learn about next. You can drill down into a topic to watch more videos, return to the main menu, link through to different areas of the website to find out more, or fill in

Chilliwack Chiefs forward Chris Blessing evades Salmon Arm’s Bryce Gervais during a BCHL clash Oct. 1 at Prospera Centre. Blessing and the Chiefs are home Friday and Saturday versus Vernon and Powell River. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

On his first BCHL goal, scored against Salmon Arm last weekend, you could almost picture his teammates on the bench saying, ‘Oh isn’t that cute! Little Garrett just put the puck in the net! He’s growing up so fast.’ “I doubt they were saying that,” Forster laughed. “I was really excited and they were excited too.” Of all the vets on the team, Forster cited defenceman Stefan Gonzales as the guy who has taken him under his wing. On off days, Forster often finds his way to the billet house where Gonzales is staying, and the Surrey native has become the go-to guy whenever the rookie

needs help with his homework. “I’ve only asked Gonzo for help so far because he lives the closest to me, although David (Thompson) would probably be a good one too, cause I hear he got into Penn State on just on his SAT scores,” the Sardis secondary student said. “Chris (Blessing) would probably be the least helpful, because we’d get sidetracked within minutes.” Back to that first goal, the third Chilliwack goal in a 6-4 win over Salmon Arm. Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl was probably pleased with the tally because it wasn’t the prettiest goal — it wasn’t the result of a

bunch of dangling or a top shelf laser of a wrist shot. It was simply Forster going to the ‘dirty area,’ driving to the net to chip in the rebound of a Jeremy Gossard shot. Having a 16-year-old who isn’t afraid of physical play is a plus in the BCHL. “The adrenaline was flowing, and it was ever better because my whole family was up in the stands watching, but I tried to put that aside and finish the game because, you know, you’ve got to finish the game,” Forster smiled. “Harvey’s a smart coach and he’s not putting me in positions where I’ll be overmatched or overwhelmed. So far, I think I’ve been able to handle

myself pretty well.” The first entry on Forster’s guide to surviving in the BCHL; skate faster, get the puck first and don’t get hit. After scoring 14 goals and 35 points in 39 games with the vaunted Greater Vancouver Canadians of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League, Forster clearly has some offensive upside to offer the Chiefs. If he can contribute right out of the gate, that can only be good news for Chilliwack as it chases a playoff spot in the highly competitive Interior conference. As for the little brother thing, Forster’s resigned to the notion that he’ll be referred

to as rock-pile all year long. “I think it’ll carry on all season, because they’ve got to pick on someone,” he said. “I’m willing to take on that role.” Not that he has a choice. Forster and the Chiefs are back on home ice Friday night facing the Vernon Vipers at Prospera Centre. Puck drop is 7 p.m. Powell River drops into Chilliwack Saturday night. Puck drop for that one is also 7 p.m. Get BCHL statistics, schedules and scores online at www.bchl. ca and get Chilliwack Chiefs info online at www.chilliwackchiefs. net.

Giants defense included Josh Fitzsimmons, Zach Toews, Colton Derouin and Treyvon Walsh. ● The junior bantam Red Giants had a tough time against Meadow Ridge, losing 44-0. Defensively, Jacob Martin had three solo tackles and five assists. Cameron Betker and Jordan Breuker both had two solo tackles and three assists each. Elijah Schellenberg recovered a Knights fumble. Special teams hurt Chilliwack as the Knights returned a punt 50 yards for one major and took their own kickoff 42 yards for another touchdown. ● The atom Red Giants dropped a 24-20 heartbreaker to Ridge Meadows, falling short with a furious fourth quarter rally. The Giants opened the scoring on a long run by Kurtis Flynn, but the Knights countered with two majors of their own. The score at halftime favoured the Knights 18-6 and they took a 24-6 lead early in the second half on another long run. Chilliwack’s defence, led by Mason Murphy, Josh Lodge and Dayton Rodger, shut it down from there, giving the offence a chance to come back. Flynn and Thomas Nelson scored a pair of TDs on bruising runs, and given five more minutes the Giants likely would have pulled out a win. ● The atom Blue Giants squeaked out a 26-20 win over the atom White Giants in an alllocal clash. Michael Martin had 12 carries for 143 yards and three TD’s for the white side, adding seven tackles and one forced fumble on defence. Fullback Grayson Frick had four carries for 64 yards and Kaleb Reemeyer twice converted TDs with five yard runs. Saftey Logan Buchwitz turned in another standout game on D with four tackles. Jacob Bailey had three tackles and a quarterback sack.

CIS hoops in Chilliwack Sardis secondary school plays host to CIS basketball Thursday night as the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades host Alberta’s NAIT. Tip-off is at 8 p.m. and Sardis head coach (and UFV assistant) Kyle Graves is hoping for a humongous crowd.

Dan Kinvig, Black Press The 2010-11 basketball season is one that Jasper Moedt would probably like to forget, but he can recount his rehabilitation timeline from a torn knee ligament in astonishing detail. On March 13, 2010, during an open scrimmage at the University of the Fraser Valley, Moedt tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee in a seemingly innocent collision with Cascades teammate Zeon Gray. On June 3, UFV’s six-foot-seven starting center underwent surgery to repair the damage. On Dec. 3, he was cleared to return to full-contact practice – though as a medical redshirt, he was ineligible to play in games for the rest of the season. “You have to get through it somehow,” he said. “It’s like, ‘How many days until I can run?’ And then when that’s crossed off, it’s ‘How many days until I can jump?’ Or, ‘How many days until someone can hit me?’” If Moedt sounds a little bit like a prisoner who’s been marking the days on the jailhouse wall, it’s because he is emerging from a tedious process – hours of calf raises and the frustration of having to watch games from the sideline. “The real reward is playing in the games with the guys and that camaraderie that goes with it,” said Moedt. “You can cheer on the bench as hard as you want, but you can’t affect the outcome of the game.” Kyle Grewal can relate to what Moedt went through in a very direct way. UFV’s starting power forward suffered a torn ACL of his own last August and like Moedt he redshirted the 2010-11 campaign. Because his injury occurred five months after Moedt’s, Grewal isn’t as far along in his comeback. Pondering his return, Grewal channels Joni

Mitchell. “It’s like the saying – you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone,” he said. “It means a lot (to return), because sitting out, you realize how much you miss it.” Without their starting frontcourt, the undersized Cascades scrapped and clawed their way into the playoffs with a 10-14 record, then pushed eventual national silver medallist Trinity Western to the limit in their best-ofthree first round playoff series. The return of Moedt and Grewal, plus the addition of newcomers Josh Monagle (6’6”), Mike James (6’6”) and Luke Braund (6’5”), gives the Cascades great depth in the post this season, and reason for optimism. In the end, Moedt believes the redshirt season will serve him well. Hundreds of extra hours in the weight room could boost his career outlook from good to great, and the buzz coming out of UFV’s open gym runs is that Moedt has been dominant at times.

Also predeceased by a brother Mykola Huk, in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and a sister in the Ukraine. She will be remembered for her love of family, generous kind heart, gentle caring soul, and unbelievable strength.

Mom will be greatly missed by her daughter, Irene (Bob Si-

mons); son Ed; 5 granddaughters, Nicole (Iain MacIntyre), Tanis (Adam Hill), Allison (Matt Giuliani), Amanda and Tara Kowalski, and 5 greatgrandchildren, Hannah, Luke, Ashton, Ty and Andy.
