Weekend marred by two deathsJessica PetersThe Progress

Two people died in separate inci-dents over the long weekend.

A Chilliwack man died on a mountain trail over the weekend, while on an ATV excursion.

RCMP received a call just after 1 p.m. on Sunday that a man had jumped out of the way of an ATV and fallen off a cliff. The man’s fam-ily has confirmed it was 48-year-old Andy Rotzetter. He had been travel-ing with a group of ATVers along the Windy Knob Trail at Tamihi when he stopped to help another rider over difficult terrain.

That rider’s vehicle accelerat-ed and Rotzetter fell off the cliff. RCMP confirm he succumbed to his injuries on scene.

Chilliwack Victim Services is working with those who witnessed the incident, and the RCMP issued a reminder to enjoy the great out-doors as safely as possible.

“The back country, although beautiful, is dangerous. Police remind everyone who enjoys these remote regions of our area to always remain aware of the unforgiving dangers nature pres-ents,” said Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment spokesper-son Corporal Mike Rail.

The RCMP and Coroner’s Service are continuing to investi-gate the incident, and the man’s family has set up a GoFundMe account to help pay for funeral costs, bills and to help give Rotzetter’s widow time to grieve.

By Tuesday morning, 41 people had donated $3,790. Crash claims Hope woman

A single-car crash claimed the life of a 40-year-old Hope woman early on May 15, near Popkum.

The crash occurred just before 4 a.m. on May 15, in the eastbound lane of Hwy. 1, just east of the Popkum Road exit.

Chilliwack council was set to vote Tuesday on a staff recom-mendation that the city accept funding from Kinder Morgan’s Community Benefits Program.

But even before the votes were tallied, the proposal was drawing fire from critics.

If approved, council would take the next step with a “Memorandum of Understanding” with Trans Mountain Pipeline LP, with the understanding that signing will “indicate a willingness to receive community funding if the pipeline

project receives approval from the National Energy Board (NEB),” according to a news release from City of Chilliwack on Friday after-noon.

The $800,000 in funding would go toward a $1 million pedestrian bridge linking the Vedder north and south trail links from the Southern Rail Bridge.

Ian Stephen, spokesperson for the Water Wealth Project, called the offer “inappropriate” given that City of Chilliwack hasn’t sub-mitted its comments yet, accord-ing to records posted on the NEB website.

“The main thing is the timing of

this,” he said. “We are not comfort-able with the timing of this offer from Kinder Morgan and hope that City Council isn’t either.”

On his blog post he likened the money to a “bribe” since the large sums of money “hinge on the outcome” of the NEB regulatory process.

But the city underlined that signing the MOU would not nec-essarily “indicate” support for the project.

“Such a resolution (MOU) would not indicate support for the pipeline project and Council will remain committed to working with the Fraser Valley Regional

District (FVRD) to continue to ensure the concerns of residents are addressed,” underlined city officials in the news release.

City officials will still provide direct commentary to the National Energy Board on the Kinder Morgan proposed pipeline expan-sion and twinning.

“In addition, as a participating member of the FVRD, Chilliwack is able to confirm that concerns over emergency response, envi-ronmental mitigation, air shed quality, and the protection of eco-logical diversity are addressed.”

Sto:lo success stories will be in the spotlight at Aboriginal Business Connect on May 27 at the Sto:lo Resource Centre.

The event is the upshot of Sto:lo Means Business, an ini-tiative launched last October by Sto:lo Community Futures, said Louis De Jaeger, a SCF board member, and owner of Bravo Restaurant and Lounge.

“The goal is making Sto:lo territory the centre of aborigi-nal business in B.C.,” he said. “This gathering is a way to talk about how that’s going to evolve.”

When they launched Sto:lo Means Business they were able to identify about 150 aboriginal-run businesses in Sto:lo territory, spanning from the Fraser River in New Westminster, to just beyond Hope. Now they can point to about 250 of them.

“We want to keep the fire going,” said Sandra Bonner-Pederson, owner of Bear Image Productions, creating high quality digital video pro-duction. “It’s a way for the businesses to start network-ing, and we can also find out what they need to succeed. We can help guide them.”

It’s about growing a local aboriginal economy.

Of the 250 businesses, an estimated 44 per cent are community owned and run by tribal groups or First Nation bands. Two local examples are the Vedder Crossing Plaza developed by Tzeachten First Nation in 1996, or the more recent Eagle Landing develop-ment by Squiala First Nation in Chilliwack.

“There may be lots of other aboriginal people out there thinking of starting a new business,” said Linda Kay Peters, owner of Ringing Bell Robes.

She calls herself an “Ojicree Artist” and is helping to get the word out about the Business

Connect event. “This is a way we can

actively encourage them to try something, and to do it with support.”

The 250 businesses may have already existed, but they have come to the fore recently through intensive networking and mentorship, as well as the creation of an online aborigi-nal business directory.

They’ve got the business development resources and role model examples at SCF to help would-be entrepreneurs.

“I don’t think we, as busi-ness owners, promote our-selves enough,” said Peters, adding that in some cases it

may be a matter of being too humble. “These casual events may allow them to feel more comfortable.”

One of the speakers will be Lincoln Douglas, owner of K&L Contracting and Links Contracting, along with Sandra Bonner Pederson.

The emphasis will be on strengthening relationships, making business contacts in a casual atmosphere. It is part of a five-year plan at SCF to recognize and promote busi-ness on Sto:lo territory, with the aim of making it a hub for First Nations business growth by facilitating access to train-ing and partnerships, micro-

loans and investors.“It is wonderful to see this

entrepreneurial spirit alive and thriving. We want to continue to support our entrepreneurs through exciting networking initiatives and opportunities, such as Aboriginal Business Connect,” said Brenda Wallace, SCF vice chair.

Aboriginal Business Connect, May 27, 5:30 to 7 p.m., Sto:lo Resource Centre, Bldg 10, door prizes and refreshments. RSVP with Morris Prosser 604-824-5276.

Faster food truck permits may be on the wayJennifer FeinbergThe Progress

Food truck operators in Chilliwack may be getting a break.

Efforts are underway at city hall to stream-line applications from food vendors looking for permission to park on public lands in Chilliwack.

They’ve seen a spike in requests from individ-ual food truck and food cart operators, and staff set out to clarify the rules, and make the bylaw more user-friendly.

So far two food trucks have applied for these permits individually, but they expect to see a few more street food vendors applying in the coming years.

Part of the goal of modify-ing the exist-ing policy is to increase the allowable length of food trucks, from six metres to nine metres long, to dovetail with the larger standard of units on the market.

They’ve also created a simpler application process. Whereas in the past if an operator wanted to open the food truck on a city street or in a park, they would have to approach several departments at city hall, now it will be faster and streamlined.

The new policy will create a simplified process with the planning department functioning as a “one stop shop” for business licence applications.

Competition with existing businesses is cov-ered in the bylaw.

The policy states: “Food vendors…may not be located within 25 metres of an established restaurant and/or café or other food vendor on the same block face without written consent of said restaurant/cafe or food vendor.”

There have been some concerns of this nature shared with staff by established businesses.

“The proposed amendments are not intended to alter or remove any existing land use rights,” according to the staff report.

“Essentially any business operating under a current business licence will not be affected by these changes upon renewal of their licence.”


Metro Vancouver votes to oppose oil pipeline twinningJeff NagelBlack Press

The Metro Vancouver regional district will formally oppose Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinning of its Trans Mountain oil pipeline after a vote of the board Friday.

The decision came after the release of a new projection of the environmental impact of a local oil spill and a report from the City of Burnaby warning it could not contain a major fire at the tank farm near the pipeline terminal.

“If there is a serious or cata-strophic incident at the tank farm we are incapable of being able

to control that,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan told the board.

“The more we learn about it the riskier it gets,” Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said of the Kinder Morgan proposal.

Other directors cited the Coast Guard’s deficient response to the relatively small spill of fuel oil in April from a freighter in Vancouver harbour.

Not all directors supported the motion.

Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew and Langley Township Coun. Charlie Fox both opposed it, warning that if Kinder Morgan’s pipeline push is stymied, large volumes of oil may

end up rolling through B.C. on trains, at much greater risk to the environment and communities.

“The oil is going to come to the coast one way or another,” Drew said. “If it doesn’t come by pipeline, it’s going to come by rail car. And nothing scares me more than unit rail cars coming down the Fraser Canyon.”

He said a derailment of an oil train there could quickly foul the entire lower Fraser and send oil into Georgia Strait.

“Just saying no to a pipeline, I believe, will create an actual bigger problem that would be far more disastrous to the environment in British Columbia than the twinning of that pipeline.”

Port Coquitlam Mayor and

Metro board chair Greg Moore agreed a rise of oil-by-rail ship-ments is a significant risk, adding oil is likely to find its way to market.

“I’ve got the biggest rail yard in B.C. sitting in Port Coquitlam,” Moore said. “If that’s going to be filled up with a mobile pipeline, I have huge concerns about that.”

Metro is filing evidence to the National Energy Board by a May 27 deadline to back up its opposi-tion to the project.

Regional district staff said in a report Kinder Morgan has failed to adequately respond to requests for information on potential impacts during the NEB process.

The new projection of the move-ment of spilled oil, commissioned by the cities of Vancouver, Burnaby

and the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, esti-mated 50 to 90 per cent of oil lost would reach area shorelines within hours.

It assumed an entirely uncon-tained spill of 16 million litres of oil – about one fifth of a typical tanker’s load – with no effort by responders to boom it off.

City officials say they ordered the animated simulation to depict a spill’s impact because Kinder Morgan would not. Each tiny dot represents 2,000 litres of oil, close to the amount of fuel oil spilled from the freighter Marathassa last month.

The Trans Mountain proj-ect would result in a seven-fold increase in oil tanker traffic to more than 400 a year.

Some directors fear oil-by-rail risks may grow

The B.C. govern-ment has “released” Agricultural Land Commission board chair and CEO Richard Bullock, and will pay out his five-year con-tract until it ends in November, Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said Thursday.

Bullock will be replaced ef fective

immediately by long-time Saanich mayor Frank Leonard, who was voted out after nearly 20 years in last fall’s civic elections.

Letnick said with new regulations tak-ing effect to manage the Agricultural Land Reserve with two zones, it was time to make a change and let Leonard and the board choose a new CEO.

The B.C. govern-

ment has been at odds with Bullock since early in his five-year term, when he stopped appointing commis-sioners to six regional panels around the prov-ince.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett, who pushed through the two-zone system under the auspices of his “core review” of government services, said a year ago that Bullock found

the regional panels to be “a pain in the ass” and preferred to run the commission from its head office in Burnaby. So the gov-ernment mandated regional appointments in legislation along with the two-zone concept.

Leonard takes over as the ALC deals with a vast Interior “zone two” with relaxed rules for second residences and non-farm activi-ties. Commissioners are also expected to deal with applications by a British manufac-turing giant buying B.C. Interior farms to turn back to forest for European Union car-bon credits.

Letnick said the regional panels are up and running, and he doesn’t expect the change at the top to cause delays in making decisions on farmland use or exclusion.

B.C. Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil speaks to rally at B.C. legislature Thursday. Their contract expired more than a year ago. TOM FLETCHER/BLACK PRESS

Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – Members of the B.C. Nurses’ Union brought a sea of pink umbrellas to the B.C. legislature Thursday to call on the B.C. gov-ernment to honour a provision that requires health authorities to replace absent nurses.

BCNU president Gayle Duteil said 2012 contract provision replacing absent nurses can’t be implemented without more registered nurses hired to provide the relief.

“It’s a sad fact that we don’t have enough nurses to deliver safe care for meeting the staffing mandated by our collective agreement,” Duteil said. “We don’t have enough nurses to backfill vacancies, to backfill absenc-es, and we don’t have enough nurses to meet the daily spikes in acuity.”

The recent settlement of 1,600 union grievances for staffing includes $5 million for specialty nurse train-ing, $1 million to support increased RN staffing and $2 million in “griev-ance settlement funds” paid to nurses affected by staffing shortages. The staffing fund is available to licensed practical nurses who want to upgrade their training.

Health Minister Terry Lake said the interim agreement is a step towards renewing the latest BCNU contract, which expired in March 2014.

“We worked through a mediator

in the last month or so and came to an agreement, so I think we’re in a good place to work towards our new contract,” Lake said.

“We recognize there are some areas like specialist nursing where we do have challenges, and we have committed some of our funding to recruit and train more specialist nurs-es, and more community nurses as well.”

Nurses cheered as Duteil remind-ed them that their “grievalanche” had an effect. She said the union documented 10,000 shifts that were not filled during a six-week period at health facilities around the province, and represent only the “tip of the iceberg.”

NDP leader John Horgan addressed the rally, promising that his 2017 election platform will put nurses “front and centre in the health care model.”

Hope River Road could one day see a pedestrian bridge crossing over the Hope Slough at Williams Street, as part of a boardwalk type system.

That was a part of a recent report to council looking at the merits of future road improve-ments.

A section of Hope River Road, east of Young Road, has been flagged as a local road-way that could “ben-efit from pedestrian/cyclist improvements” connecting Hope River Rotary Trail to the Kinsmen Park Trail, according to staff.

The report received by Chilliwack coun-cil in April includ-ed the conceptual

design of a trail pro-vided by McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd, aimed at “increas-ing user comfort, safety and enjoyment” of this infrastructure link.

“Their creative thinking has resulted in recommendations of a boardwalk type sys-tem with future pedes-trian bridge crossing at Williams Street,” according to the staff

report. The project is pro-

jected down the line in the city’s financial plan, with plans for funding only available in 2022.

Boardwalk envisioned down the line for Hope River Road

The Fraser Valley Philharmonic Society’s Mostly Mozart 2015 is set for June 13 at Chilliwack United Church including a tribute to Emily Janzen.

“In keeping with the Fraser Valley Philharmonic Society’s support for young performers, this con-cert will highlight the extraordinary talents of Clinton Denoni playing the very popular Piano Concerto No. 21 and soprano Rebecca Paulding performing operatic arias from Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro, as well as well-known arias from Donizetti’s Don Pasquale and Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi,” says music director Paula Quick.

A choral music tribute to soprano Emily Janzen is also planned during the concert, all under the baton of Maestro Leonard Camplin and supported by Orchestra Philomusica.

NewsHope, Merritt sign MOUs with Kinder Morgan

The deadline for commenters is July 23, and Water Wealth itself is an intervenor in the process focused on water resources and aquifer being protected from industry, as well as seismic concerns.

“It just seems really inappropriate that we would be offered any-thing until they have completed their partici-pation in the NEB pro-cess,” said Stephen.

They’re also con-cerned about the lack of public engagement so far on the issue.

“I would be very pleased to see the city spend some time and get some public input on this before making a decision. It may not be required of them, but it would be nice,” he added.

Kinder Morgan’s Community Benefits Program was set up to invest in local communi-ties along the proposed pipeline route, and is “an acknowledgement and thanks in advance

for people’s patience as some construction disruption will occur should the pipeline proj-ect receive approval,” according to the city release.

Although this pedes-trian bridge linking the Vedder trails is listed in the Vedder Greenway strategic plan, the fund-

ing is 20 years away, due its high costs.

“Should funding be received the bridge project could potential-ly see construction in 2017.”

Merritt has already signed on to the KM Community Benefits program to the tune of $420,000 for trail pav-

ing and scholarships, Hope signed an MOU for $500,000 for park upgrading.

The city staff report also indicates a “sub-stantial” amount of fund-ing will also be offered to the University of the Fraser Valley.

Metro Vancouver has joined a push to keep the Burrard Thermal power station on stand-by as a backup electric-ity source for the Lower Mainland, but with a proviso that it burn a renewable energy source in the future instead of natural gas.

Regional district directors voted Friday on the issue after Vancouver directors pushed through a con-tentious amendment requiring the shift away from fossil fuel use as a measure to help meet climate change goals.

Vancouver Coun. Raymond Louie said the goal of keeping Burrard Thermal as a backup in case a catastrophe cuts off hydroelectric power to the region must also be balanced against the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions over the long term.

“There’s no way to meet these goals with-out taking action,” he said.

Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew questioned what renewable fuel source could feasibly power the plant, add-ing that burning wood pellets or wood waste might mean worse air pollution in the region’s airshed compared to natural gas.

BC Hydro officials

have defended the deci-sion to close the plant, saying it’s almost never used, would require costly upgrades to make it more efficient, and that the completion soon of another power line from Interior dams will make it even less likely to be needed in the future.

Burrard Thermal can generate enough elec-tricity to power 700,000 homes, or nine per cent of the province’s gener-ating capacity.

Scrapping the 50-year-old plant is expected to save $14 million a year in operating costs and avoid a $400-million upgrade that would oth-

erwise be needed.Some Metro direc-

tors warned a renew-able energy require-ment would greatly increase the cost of the plant upgrade, making its survival less likely.

“I think we’ve effec-tively killed the Burrard Thermal plant,” Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said.

He opposed the Vancouver amendment, adding he’d prefer to

see Burrard Thermal run full-time on natural gas and potentially help BC Hydro avoid build-ing the $8.8-billion Site C hydroelectric dam that will flood more farmland in northeast-ern B.C.

“We have an oppor-tunity here to save the Peace River farmland by operating Burrard Thermal instead of flooding the Peace,” he said. “We need food

security in this province and if it means burning natural gas, so be it.”

Steves said Peace farmland will no longer be able to sequester car-bon once it’s flooded, adding Vancouver direc-tors should consider fac-tors like that in gauging the climate impacts of the choice.

“For once I think the province is right,” Steves said. “Natural gas is cleaner than the other fuels. It’s cleaner than burning pellets and its cleaner than burning biofuel when you have to lose farmland to do it.”

The City of Port Moody, which stands to lose property tax grants if the plant is dis-mantled, has argued the transmission lines that bring power from the Interior remain vulner-able to being knocked out by ice storms, flash floods, forest fires, earthquakes or sabo-tage.

Metro support for Burrard Thermal comes with a catch

Vancouver insists natural gas power plant must go green.

Care for our wetlandsFor the past three years a small army of volunteers have been toil-

ing to restore the productivity of a key piece of the region’s natural habitat.

Last week, their work was showcased at the official opening of the Browne Creek Wetlands.

But that introduction comes with a responsibility: To take care of the wetlands for future generations.

On the weekend, the trails that make up the new park were busy with cyclists and hikers.

As Victor Froese, a Chilliwack Rotarian who helped lead his club’s substantial participation in the project, said, “it’s a gem.”

There is evident pride in the work that’s been done by groups like the Fraser Valley Watershed Coalition, the department of Fisheries and Oceans, and the Salmonid Enhancement Program.

Froese, and the others who have donated money and hours of their time, know the park is not there just for our benefit. It’s been done to help restore habitat that was once rich with salmon and wildlife.

Already the young salmon can be seen in the channels that wend through the wetlands. They’re enjoying the increased stream flow, riparian cover and deeper pools that volunteers and biologists have constructed during the past few years. The work has been substantial. Native vegetation has been planted throughout. Channels have been enhanced and made more conducive to salmon rearing. Even old logs have been hauled up from the nearby Vedder River and strategically placed to improve habitat.

The effort is impressive. But it can quickly be undone by simple carelessness, like letting an unleashed dog bound through a creek bed. What looks like innocent fun can mean disaster to the salmon eggs nestled in the gravel. Nesting birds can also be disturbed.

Browne Creek Wetlands are a jewel and something to cherish. And if we don’t treat them like a playground, it will be there for our children.

RAESIDE

VICTORIA – It was 2008 when word first surfaced that B.C. farm-land was being bought up to grow trees as a European carbon offset.

Reckitt Benckiser Inc., a British-based global manufacturer of household products such as Lysol spray and Calgon laundry soap, bought 1,500 hectares east of Vanderhoof and planted aspen. For comparison, that’s about the size of downtown Vancouver from 16th and Oak to Stanley Park.

Since tree growing is permitted in the Agricultural Land Reserve, a use intended for fruit, ornamen-tal or nursery trees, no permis-sion was needed. And to meet the carbon offset rules of the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, a 100-year restrictive covenant against harvesting trees was issued by B.C.’s land titles office.

Goodbye farmland.After that deal, the B.C. govern-

ment changed legislation in 2011 to require permission from the Agricultural Land Commission to make these covenants valid.

A g r i c u l t u r e Minister Norm Letnick says he is waiting for that process to be test-ed.

It likely will be soon. Reckitt has bought another 7,000 hectares of cleared farm-land from Prince George down

through the Cariboo to Quesnel. NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham has been tracking these acquisitions, and she says there are more deals in the works.

Last fall, the Bulkley Nechako Regional District wrote to Victoria Wood, Reckitt Benckiser’s “glob-al head of sustainability,” telling

her that “the planting of trees on centrally located and productive agricultural lands is not appropri-ate” and would weaken local farm economies.

Wood responded that the RB Trees project targets only “mar-ginally productive” land such as pasture, abandoned farms or those that have been up for sale for long periods.

Former Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson raised the issue in the legislature in 2008, noting that Crown land near Vanderhoof had been sold for farming, bought by a numbered company and then “flipped” for around $1 million to RB Trees.

Now mayor of Quesnel, Simpson takes issue with the company’s claims with his usual shyness.

“It’s bull----,” he told me. “This isn’t marginal land.”

He said it includes prime alfalfa

fields and historical ranch and forage crop lands. In one case, neighbours found out about the new use when they saw a helicop-ter spraying herbicide to prepare the area for tree seedlings.

In the Cariboo as in other rural B.C. areas, aging farmers want to retire and young people keen to work seven days a week are in short supply. So naturally there is pressure to sell.

Perhaps Letnick is right, and the ALC will stop productive farm-land from being turned back into forest. While we’re waiting for that, here are a couple of other questions.

What happens when these for-ests burn? The first big forest fire of 2015 grew out of control near Prince George last week. And since aspen doesn’t last 100 years, what is its real carbon off-set value?

How’s that European carbon

trading market doing? It’s a mess, with the cost of emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide fallen far below what’s needed to be effective, and Interpol investigating various schemes to game the system.

Remember B.C’s own Pacific Carbon Trust? This Gordon Campbell brainchild to sell carbon offsets was quietly greenhouse gassed after the Auditor General revealed its first two big projects were of questionable value to say the least.

Finally, does anyone really think that returning B.C.’s scarce farmland to forest is a good way to change the weather? Would it offset the loss of local produc-tion and trucking in farm produce from elsewhere?

And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme?

City should refuse KM fundsThis is in response to your

online article on May 15, titled “Chilliwack eyes pipeline ben-efits for pedestrian bridge.”

The opening of the Browne Creek Wetlands, just upstream from the proposed bridge, was marked on Thursday. Mayor Gaetz addressed the gathering and spoke directly to the chil-dren present about the natural values of the wetlands. The wet-lands are an inspiring example of people and organizations working with nature to restore a landscape that has been severely degraded by careless industrial development.

Kinder Morgan’s pipeline bisects the wetlands. The com-pany’s own spill scenario maps show how an oil spill would devastate the wetlands and the Vedder River. We cannot risk further destruction of this beautiful part of the planet. The people are saying a resound-ing “no” to Kinder Morgan’s bitumen export pipeline. The pipeline was originally built to supply local needs. This it is no longer able to do because of Kinder Morgan’s zeal to use it for bitumen exports.

We will need oil – conven-tional oil, since local refineries

cannot handle bitumen – for the immediate future while we transition to clean energy. The City should tell Kinder Morgan to invest this money in fixing up the current leaky pipeline and then use it for the purpose it was built: to supply local needs for oil.

Canadians need to earn moreWhile the Canadian

economy is doing bet-ter than some others, the conditions are not something that justi-fies the self-congratu-latory crowing coming from government MPs (Re: Mark Strahl’s letter, April 15). The economic recover y has primarily been for the banks and in stock prices, not for Main Street. Even that is suspect, as Stephen Poloz, the governor of the Bank of Canada, has called recent eco-nomic performance “atrocious.”

The Conservatives’ policies are the wrong solution as reducing taxes disproportion-ately on the wealthy reduces demand in

the economy. Under many circumstances cutting taxes would increase growth, but with stagnant wages there is little demand for new production, and corporations are hoarding cash. A taxa-tion system that would have redistributive effects would enhance economic activity by increasing spending levels.

Furthermore, the quality of Canadian jobs are falling, according to the CIBC job qual-ity index. In March, the number of net jobs increased by 29,000, but the number of full-time jobs decreased. Furthermore, private-sector employment only increased by 0.2

per cent. While the unemploy-

ment rate is 6.8 per cent, when the num-ber of involuntarily part-time employed is considered, it rises 9.9 per cent. Total work-ing hours are also declining slightly. The fact of the matter is the Canadian economy is not doing well.

To add insult to injury, the Canadian Alliance (the prede-cessor of today’s cur-rent Conser vative Party) called for the type of deregulation that caused the finan-cial collapse of 2008. If the Conservatives had been in charge in the years leading up to that crisis, things would have likely turned

out much worse for Canada.

In order to fix Canada’s economy, we need policies which increase consumer demand across the economy. This means that wages need to rise with productivity, not stay stuck at 1970s lev-els. The federal gov-ernment should use the Bank of Canada to create interest-free infrastructure loans to enhance demand and set up trade poli-cies which do not reduce the wages of Canadians, unlike the policies pursued by the Conservatives and Liberals.

Roads no place for scootersSue Truscott, who is quite

insulting in her open letter to law abiding motorists, appears to be totally ignorant of the laws governing the use of roads in B.C. (Drivers need to slow down near scooters, Progressletters, May 13.)

ICBC has a nice one page brochure available on their

website outlining the dos and don’ts of using “scooters”. A person in a motorized wheel-chair is considered to be a pedestrian and shall use the sidewalk if there is one avail-able on either side of the street.

A bicycle lane is consid-ered a traffic lane reserved for bicycles and so it is forbidden

to drive a wheelchair there as well, if a sidewalk is available.

To ignore the regulations endangering herself is one thing, but to take a three year old child into traffic on the busiest road in Chilliwack is reckless to say the least.

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase

of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for

our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from

the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more

revenue for their product. And Government will

collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend

on programs such as health care, education and

other services that benefit all British Columbians.

Plus, we can invest in new training programs and

create new jobs for our youth.

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

Community

On Sunday, June 21, families throughout B.C. will come togeth-er to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer education, research and survivorship.

This year’s Chilliwack 5K event is along the beautiful Vedder Trail and organizers are encouraging residents of all ages to lace up their shoes along with thousands of other B.C. men, women and their families in support of the cause. Events are also taking place in Vancouver, Kamloops, Kelowna, and Victoria which will all be host-

ed on Father’s Day. The Father’s Day Walk Run is an annual event that encourages the community to come together to support and celebrate the men in their lives. Prostate cancer is the most com-mon cancer to affect men, which also greatly impacts their families. Funds raised support research to uncover better diagnostic and treatment options and to provide support services for those living with the disease.

This year’s theme is Show Your Blue where participants are

encouraged to come dressed in blue for the costume contest which is new this year.

For those who arrive without a costume, organizers will have a “blue station” to get you acces-sorized.

The family-focused event will have activities, entertainment, and a free pancake breakfast following the run.

For more information about reg-istration fees, visit www.thefathers-dayrun.ca.

Belting out the tunes just got betterJennifer FeinbergThe Progress

Here’s your chance to become a better singer.

Chilliwack singer and vocal coach Lori Paul will be leading a workshop called ‘Everyone Can Sing’ on Sunday, May 31.

It’s a one-hour group session with the Chilliwack musician, followed up with an hour of one-on-one vocal coaching at a later date in June.

It’s all about singing for the pure joy of it. The seminar expe-rience is geared to increasing confidence, vocal range and vol-ume.

Paul coaches singers for a liv-ing at the studio she owns with husband Rick Genge.

“As a young person, I sang in choirs at church and school, and I sang along with my Beatles and Joni Mitchell albums at home.”

From her first performance

of ‘I’m a Little Teapot’ at the tender age of two, to the songs she sings daily to her pets, Paul makes a point of using her voice to enrich her life.

“And I believe everyone should,” she offers.

Those who might enjoy belt-ing out a tune in the shower or from a karaoke stage may lack a little bit of self-confidence to actually pursue it with their whole heart.

“I would like to invite those people to join me on May 31st at Spiderlodge Studio, where, with other like-minded people, we’ll be talking about ways to improve the sound of our voices and enjoy singing everyday.”

The simple act of singing is known to enhance health and well-being.

“I’m not exaggerating when I say I believe everyone should sing every day.”

It’s free, requires no equip-ment and you can do it almost

anywhere. People use it to express

themselves creatively or to blow off steam.

“It’s relaxing and rejuvenat-ing. Whether you sound good to anyone else is irrelevant. Sing for your own satisfaction and you’ll benefit emotionally, in a meaningful way.”

In the group session, sing-ers will learn to increase their volume and vocal range, find keys that suit them and correct “pitch drift.”

They’ll work on vocal tone and using breath support to get a more dynamic sound. All lev-els of experience are welcome, she said.

Singing is therapeutic.“I’ve always known that

music can heal, especially when we sing, because our vocal cords vibrate, when in use, and resonate throughout our body which simultaneously calms us and energizes us.”

The students of Spiderlodge Studio are performing their year-end recital the day before. Check out Paul’s work at the Spiderlodge Festival on May 30, 7 p.m. at UFV in Chilliwack. Doors at 6 p.m. and concert at 6:30 p.m.

Remember singing can be a mood booster, too.

“The very act of singing songs that you love, breath-ing deeply and belting out a tune, enhances your well-being, much the same way that exer-cise and meditation also will, with regular practice.

“It’s never too late to improve your voice; you can always find ways to be a better singer.”

To register for Everyone Can Sing, (Sunday, May 31, 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Spiderlodge Studio on Yale Road east) Call 604-795-9523 for the seminar or festival tickets or go to www.loripaul.com.

The Power of Song on May 23 in Chilliwack is a musical tribute to the late Pete Seeger, singer, songwriter and life-long social activist.

Chilliwack United Church is hosting the concert and proceeds will go to The Orchestra of Recycled Instruments in Cateura, Paraguay.

The concert will feature Arnt Arntzen on vocals and banjo, his father, Tom Arntzen on piano and vocals, Will Sparks on guitar and vocals and Harold Lange on upright bass and vocals.

“Bring your singing voices along because as with Pete’s concerts, this trib-ute will allow for much audience participa-tion.”

Seeger was known for raising the pro-file of political and social justice issues, including civil rights, worker rights and environmental protection.

He used his voice and banjo to sound the alarm from the 1940s right up to his last days. Some of his more popular songs include, If I Had a Hammer, Where Have all the Flowers Gone, and Turn, Turn, Turn.

The Orchestra of Recycled Instruments was founded by a musician who wanted to do something for the children who lived in a village that had grown up around a garbage dump. They now perform pub-licly and have begun a music school for these children.

Two sets of music are planned with an intermission for refreshments. The con-cert is at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for The Power of Song, at Chilliwack United or through any of the other United Churches in Chilliwack and Agassiz, adults $20, children $10.

Chilliwack United is on 45835 Spadina Ave. Chilliwack, B.C.

Having an open plan home comes with its own challenges when it comes to design. Photos supplied by by Concept to Design Inc.

For many buyers, an open-plan home is tops on their list when it comes time to purchase. However, it’s not just new buyers who can take advantage of that kind of open lifestyle.

Having sight lines that span the en-tire house makes for easier entertain-ing, better supervision of younger family members, and a lot more natural light throughout the home.

However, how can you decorate that open-plan home?

“We want the furniture and decora-tive items to be consistent with each other as the whole space is visible and considered as one,” says Carolyn Lino Stewart, principal at Concept to Design Inc. “In a closed space, you may be able to change colours, themes, etc. for each room.”

For summer, Lino Stewart says to think light, fresh and bright.

“Mix pops of bright colours, such as turquoise, bright pink, etc., in with layers of white in different patterns, textures and furniture pieces,” she says.

Continuing one paint colour or ac-cent colour through the open rooms is a good place to start when it comes to decorating your open-plan home, but it’s not the only thing that homeowners should consider.

EXPERT ADVICE ❱❱

If you’re looking to include a bit of separation in your open plan home, try placing furniture strategically, using folding screens or doors, or installing shelving or low storage cabinets.

All photos supplied by Concept to Design Inc.

Another way to make the space cohesive in-cludes anchoring the room with a large central seating area, and ensuring the fl ooring is consistent across the entire space.

Lino Stewart has some other suggestions for words to think about when looking at decorating your home.

“Consistency in style, scale/proportion, balance of detailed/wow items and more subtle pieces, plus colour fl ow,” says Lino Stewart. “Lifestyle and room functioning should be a big consideration. Open spaces allow people in the household to be in the same room, doing diff erent things. For example, a seating area with a TV might be next to a small desk with a computer, with a kid’s play area, all open to a kitchen where the one who is meal-prepping can still be part of the room.”

When you’re living in an open-plan space, it’s especially important to keep clutter under control.

“Plan for proper storage, ideally multi-purpose pieces,” says Lino Stewart, giving the example of a bench that can pull double-duty as toy storage, or a desk with a table top that can lift to hide supplies.

“With our busy lifestyles, people multi-task, and want rooms they can comfortably do that in.”

If you are looking to create a bit of separation in your open-plan home, consider screens or hanging fabrics that can be moved around and placed to of-fer a bit of privacy for certain spaces. Folding doors can serve a similar purpose.

Shelving or low storage cabinets can also serve to delineate a workspace from the living area or kitchen, and allows for more storage to keep your clutter off the fl oor. Spaces can also be separated by the impactful use of furniture. Th e placement of a couch, table or chair can easily give you the sense of diff erent rooms, even in an open-plan layout.

Open-plan solutions… “ from page 13


Outdoor spaces are becom-ing nearly as important as indoor spaces when it comes to relaxing in your home. Whether it’s warm or there’s a chill in the air, you can spend more time outside with family and friends when you install a backyard fi re pit.

When you think fi re pit, you might think of a campfi re reminiscent of family camp-ing trips as a child. But out-door fi re features have come a long way in recent years.

“We’re seeing a trend to-wards the minimalist look,” says Catherine Traschenko of Dreamcast Design and Pro-

duction. “Concrete is getting quite popular due to that in-fl uence.”

Sleek and modern back-yards are complemented by an equally sleek fi re bowl. Other options include the traditional fi re pits, and square or rectangular fi re tables.

C o n c r e t e comes in a range of colours, from the classic grey to a white, taupe or charcoal shade.

“When you’re choosing a colour you need to consider

how much maintenance you want to do,” says Traschenko. “With a light colour or a dark colour, you will need to clean it more oft en because it shows

more dirt. A mid-tone is best.”

Other popular materials for out-door fi re pits in-clude stone, brick and old-fashioned copper and other metals.

Fire pits can be fuelled by natu-ral gas, propane,

wood or a clean-burning gel. A fi replace professional will be able to advise what the best

option is for your space.“It’s important to ensure

you have enough clearance to the ceiling and to the nearby walls,” says Traschenko. “Ev-ery fi re pit will have regula-tions on clearances, and it should be CSA-approved.”

It’s also important to keep anything fl ammable such as foliage away from the fi re pit. A stone or brick surround is a great and safe option, espe-cially in drier climates. Built-in seating will keep people from getting too close to the fi re pit.

If you’re looking for a natu-ral gas fi re pit, you will have to keep where the hook-up is in mind. If the hook-up isn’t right beside where you plan to put the fi re pit, you might need to take a hose into ac-count, Traschenko points out.

“You also need to keep in mind what you plan to use it for,” she says. “Do you want to eat at it, or just use it for warmth?”

If you plan to use it for warmth, choose a fi re pit that is lower to the ground.

“Heat rises,” Traschenko says. “Th e lower the fi re pit, the warmer you will feel.”

Maintenance is an impor-tant consideration for any-thing that stays outdoors.

“At the start of the season, vacuum out any debris from the burner area, and make sure there are no leaves clog-ging it up,” says Traschenko. “Wipe the fi re pit and remove anything that’s inside it.”

Keeping your fi re pit cov-ered when it’s not in use pre-vents dirt, leaves and other debris from getting inside it and forcing you to clean it more oft en, so Traschenko al-ways suggests that customers

refrain from leaving it open to the elements.

Th e days are getting longer and warm summer nights will soon be here, so now is the perfect time to look into that fi re pit!

When choosing a fi re pit, it’s important to consider what you plan to use it for and how much maintenance you’re willing to do. Photos supplied by Dreamcast Design and Production

Bringing the gym homeBy Kerry Vital

Bathing suit season is fast approaching, and perhaps you’re looking to tone up a bit before baring some skin on the beaches of Vancouver.

Nothing is easier than being able to hop on a cardio machine or grab some weights in the comfort and privacy of your own home. You’ll no longer have the excuse of “the gym is too far away!”

“You can have a home gym in any size of home,” says Rick St. Pierre of Great Life Fitness. “Every home has a home for fi tness equip-ment.”

Th e fi rst thing he suggests peo-ple look for is a cardio machine.

“Ellipticals are great because they can give you an all-in-one workout,” he says. “A treadmill and a bike are two other great options.”

But physical fi tness is not built from cardio alone. Make sure you’re including some strength and resistance training as well.

“Th ere are multi-gym systems that work all of the muscle groups,” says St. Pierre. “I also like the cus-tomer to have a set of dumbbells. Th ey range from 5 to 50 pounds, in fi ve-pound increments.”

Other essential items that St.

Pierre recommends include a fi t-ness ball and exercise mats for stretching and abdominal work.

A range of items will allow the

whole family to get in on the fi t-ness fun.

Free weights are one of the fi rst things you should purchase when adding a gym to your home.

If you’ve been spending time on Pinterest lately, you’ll have seen a lot of photos of old items being recycled into something new and beautiful.

Th at process, called “upcycling”, has been gaining ground in recent years as homeowners try to put their own stamp on their home without spending a ton of money. But where do you start?

“I recommend (looking) at what others are doing for inspiration, so upcycling or decor blogs and mag-azines,” says Marie Ka, director of communications and marketing for Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver, which operates the Re-Store home improvement stores in Metro Vancouver. “Try with a small project with stuff found at home or bought at a ReStore.”

ReStore is stocked with new and gently used home decor and build-ing supplies that were donated by companies and individuals, and sells these items at a 50 to 80 per cent discount. Th us, it’s a fantastic place to fi nd your next treasure that you want to fi x up!

Ka suggests items such as tables and lamps as a great place to start. Other good options include picture frames, glassware, lamp shades and chairs.

“You always want to keep your expenses minimal,” says Ka. “It might be just repainting an old piece of furniture or an old picture frame.”

If you’re considering upcycling an item, it’s best to make sure it’s in good condition fi rst.

“You want your creation to be sturdy and long-lasting,” Ka says. “Th e rest is up to one’s imagination and inspiration!”

Upcycling is about more than making something beautiful; it’s also more environmentally friend-ly. Upcycling that picture frame or table prevents it from going to a

landfi ll, and ensures materials are being reused.

You don’t need to be a trained interior designer, carpenter or painter to upcycle something; even a complete novice can pick up a paintbrush or a screwdriver.

Perhaps you have an old set of luggage in your attic that you no longer use. Try turning them into a side table, as storage or as a vin-tage decorative element! Th at old sideboard you found in an antique shop can be fi xed up with a new stain and some gold or silver leaf. Try dipping the legs in paint for an interesting eff ect.

Even a fallen log can be upcy-cled into something new: try cut-ting it up into natural blocks for a children’s play area (aft er sanding down the rough edges) or turn a

round slice of wood into a clock.Th ose old mason jars you used

for canning? Wash them out and stick a straw in them; they’ll make great drink glasses.

Holiday ornaments have great upcycling possibilities, whether you repaint a set of glass balls or repurpose old burned-out lights into a new garland for a tree.

Th e most important thing you need to have when upcycling is imagination and a sense of hu-mour. You may make some mis-takes on your fi rst few projects, but those mistakes might end up look-ing even better than you originally imagined. Being able to say you created this piece out of something you found in a thrift store with just some paint and your own ingenu-ity? Priceless.

Turning an old iteminto a new treasureBy Kerry Vital

Upcycling an old item you fi nd while thrift store shopping will be hugely rewarding, as it will suit your own style and keep items out of the landfi ll..

Beyond the garage doorBy Kerry Vital

When you consider starting your spring cleaning, you’re likely imagining tidying up the kitchen or organizing the linen closet.

But when was the last time you considered organizing your garage? “Th is is the year of the garage!” says Ron Helferty of Tai-lored Living featuring Premier-Garage. “A lot of people have no room in their garage for their car; it’s more of an aft erthought.”

Helferty points out that the garage is oft en one of the largest rooms in the house, but also the most under-utilized.

“Today, 90 per cent of single-family homes built have a garage,” he says. “In addition, 82 per cent of new homes built have two-car or larger garages. Th e two-car garage has become standard, and many new homes are being built with three- or four-car garages.”

Th e garage oft en becomes the place where you put the things you don’t use every day, or things that you don’t want to keep in your home such as sports equip-ment, tools, cleaning supplies and seasonal items such as Christmas or Halloween decor. Th at doesn’t mean the space needs to be a dis-organized mess.

“A well-organized and furnished garage can draw the envy and at-tention of neighbours,” says Helf-erty. “It’s the only room in the house the entire neighbourhood sees.”

Like the other spaces in the home, you should look at what you have before starting to orga-nize the garage.

“Take out what you have, and decide what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of,” Helf-erty suggests. “When you have de-termined what to keep, divide that pile into sections such as holiday, sports, car maintenance, house maintenance, etc.”

Organizing a garage goes be-yond installing a tool bench and a shelf. Th ere are many options available, including racks, shelv-ing, bins and cabinetry.

“Your needs will change over the years, so your goal is to have a versatile garage organization and storage system,” says Helferty.

Cabinetry is a great option for

storing seasonal clothes and other items that you don’t use very oft en, but that you want to keep clean. Helferty also notes that custom cabinetry is great for storing clean-ing products or tools that you want to keep accessible but not right out in the open.

Even the ceiling of your garage can be utilized.

“Overhead storage is where you keep things like holiday decora-tions or snow equipment during the the summer time,” Helferty says. “Secured to the ceiling of your garage, this handy storage so-lution keeps off -season items out of your way when you don’t need them so that you regain valuable fl oor and wall space.”

Like most home renovations, getting the assistance of a profes-sional is never a bad idea. Th ey can also suggest new ways to store your belongings that you may not have thought of before, and ensure your space is as well-organized and tailored to your lifestyle as it can be.

“As consumers spend more time in the home, they are turning their garages into extensions of their houses - with more sophisticated storage, furniture and appliances designed to make garages both more effi cient and more attrac-tive,” Helferty says. “Th ere’s so much you can do with a garage.”

When planning your new home gym, it’s important to consider the fl ooring in the space. Carpeting will allow the room to be used for more than one thing, while the rub-ber fl ooring used in most professional gyms can be harder but easier to clean. Flooring that can scratch might not be the best idea, es-pecially if you’re using free weights and there’s a possibility of dropping them.

Th e most important aspect of a home gym is where you plan to put it. While it might be tempting to put it in a basement or garage to keep it out of the way when you’re not using it, you have to want to spend time there. A dark basement might not be so great.

“You want it to be an inviting environ-ment,” says St. Pierre. “Use colours that make you happy, like orange. Add some music or a television. Having a space you want to be in ups your odds of using it on a regular basis.”

Other colours that are proven to get the heart racing are bright shades such as red, green and yellow. Vibrant purples and blues

are also good options; colours like these are oft en cool tones and thus will make your space feel a little cooler even when you’re sweating. You can even paint the ceiling so you have something to focus on while you’re stretching or doing ab work. Considering installing an overhead fan to keep you a bit cooler, and make sure there is plenty of light to bring more energy into the room.

A mirror is a good idea to have while us-ing weights to ensure proper form, even if it’s just a single full-length mirror against a wall. Plenty of fl oor space where you can do yoga might also be a good option for you and your family, and ensure you have some storage available for workout towels and spare mats, if you don’t want them sitting out all the time.

Because the wrong machine or weight can do some incredible damage, it is extremely important to seek the advice of a professional before starting an exercise program. Once you have the all-clear from a doctor, it will be just be a matter of hitting a fi tness store, choosing your space and getting that blood pumping. Don’t forget your water bottle!

Saving on your kitchen renovation

Th e kitchen is one of the most ex-pensive rooms in the home to renovate, but it’s also one of the most reward-ing. It’s not known as the heart of the home for nothing! But is it possible to save some of your hard-earned money when it comes time to give the kitchen a facelift ?

Suzanne Smith of Action Interior Cabinet Refi nishing & Renovating says yes.

“Whatever the issues are in your kitchen, they can be dealt with by recy-cling what you have,” she says. “Th ere’s no reason to rip out the kitchen com-pletely if you’re not going to change the layout.”

Retaining the existing layout will save you money as you won’t have to move appliances, which can be a big ex-pense depending on the plumbing and electrical outlets. Cabinetry can eas-ily and quickly be refi nished instead of installing everything brand-new, coun-tertops can be changed, a backsplash can be painted, and fi xtures and cabinet hardware can be easily swapped.

“Depending on the size of the kitch-en, cabinets can be refi nished for be-

tween $2,500 and $5,000,” Smith says, which saves homeowners thousands of dollars.

Refi nishing the cabinets is also a much shorter process than installing a brand-new kitchen.

“First we remove all the doors and drawers, which go to our shop for about a week and a half,” says Smith. “Th e outsides of the cabinets are done on-site, which takes about a day. If you want to change the hardware, we can fi ll the old holes and install the new style of hardware.”

Th is means that you will have your kitchen back and functional extremely quickly, preventing the stress and frus-tration of not being able to use your appliances.“Cabinet refi nishing allows you to still use your kitchen at night,” says Smith. “You’re also keeping per-fectly good cabinets out of the landfi ll.”

“We had a baby sitting up watching our guys recently,” Smith laughs.

Before choosing to refi nish the cabi-nets, it’s important to consider a few things. Do you like the existing style of your cabinets? If so, refi nishing them is a perfect option. A new colour or stain

can transform a kitchen and give life to a once-boring space.

“A lot of homeowners aren’t aware of what refi nishing the cabinets can do for their home,” says Smith. “People need to be educated on what this can do for their kitchen without turning their lives upside down.”

Other easy ways to brighten up a kitchen without spending a ton of mon-ey include installing some open shelv-ing for a bit of visual interest, or trying some new lighting. Perhaps swapping from track lighting to recessed pot lighting will do the trick.

Consider looking into diff erent countertop materials as well, if you’re looking to replace your existing sur-faces. Granite and quartz are beautiful, but there are also other options such as wood butcher block, laminate and con-crete, just to name a few.

A kitchen renovation doesn’t have to mean you’re gutting the space. In-stead, it can be as simple as refi nishing the cabinetry or adding some colour. A beautiful kitchen is a pleasure to have, whether you live in an apartment or a single-family home.

Refi nishing your cabinetry can save you thousands of dollars when you’re looking at renovating your kitchen. It will also take a lot less time. photos supplied by Action Interior Cabinet Refi nishing & Renovating

Jessica PetersTHE PROGRESS There are two rules Tammy and Dennis Dargatz

follow when choosing furniture stock for their popular shop, Antiques By Design.

First, the piece has to have good value. Timeless antiques are both well-constructed and serve a function in the home. Antiques are, after all, investments meant to last generations.

Secondly, and ultimately, it has to look good. “We’re very visual people. It not only has to have

good value, it has to look good,” Dennis says, standing among lovingly polished Mission cabinets, curvy Victorian dressers, and American craftsmen chairs. With more than 20 years experience in buying and selling antiques, the couple has gained a solid reputation among buyers as having desirable items in stock.

They started out with a small business on Gore Avenue, where antiques were just a portion of what they carried. From there, they moved into a location at Minter Country Gardens and narrowed their focus to buying and selling antique furniture. And now, they’re excited to have moved into their largest home yet — a 4,000 square foot warehouse and showroom downtown Chilliwack. They are one of the first tenants in the newly renovated building at the corner of Fletcher St. and Yale Rd., and have been there since January.

It’s the perfect location to continue growing their business, which requires a lot of space for storage of furniture as it comes in “raw” and needing refinishing, and then arrives again to be sorted, and then finally is ready for display and sale.

Every single piece is inventoried in their comprehensive website, including multiple photographs, exact dimensions, and shipping costs. And every month, they round up all their new pieces and fan out an email to their customers, who live all across North America.

Their website also includes a lively blog, keeping clients up to date on the Dargatz’s many adventures in furniture dealing, and their Facebook page offers a

chance to interact as well. With their new storefront and with

all their pieces under one roof, they’re hoping to attract new local customers.

Antiques are re-gaining popularity, as young furniture buyers are coming to appreciate the lasting power of

furniture constructed 150 years ago. “This is furniture to be used everyday,”

he says. Antiques By Design is usually open

from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays, however clients traveling a distance to visit the store are

encouraged to call to ensure the store will be open.

The store is located at #4- 46245 Yale Road East and the owners can be reached at 604-316-1933.

Browse and even shop online at www.antiquesbydesign.com.

It’s two dynamic tribute acts in one big show.

The Legends of Rock ‘n Roll present Buddy Holly & The Beatles: A Special event on May 24 in HUB International Theatre at the Cultural Centre.

The Beatles have always been linked to Buddy Holly, since as the story goes, they wanted an insect-related name for the band, to echo Buddy Holly’s backing band, the Crickets.

Zachary Stevenson returns as Buddy

Holly, joining the Beatles tribute band, The Fab Fourever, which features two knockout local musi-cians, Cody Tennant and Kevin Davey.

Stevenson has per-formed as Buddy Holly in several productions of ‘The Buddy Holly Story’, and is lauded for his hit musical “Red Rock Diner” at Vancouver’s Arts Club Theatre.

The Fab Fourever have been wowing audiences throughout Western Canada with their live renditions of all the classic Beatles hits.

This show will pay homage to the music of the 50’s and early 60s with the Fab Fourever per forming songs from 1960 – 1965, songs from the Cavern Club in Liverpool, the Ed Sullivan Show, and their ‘64-65 World Tours.

“We’ve been out to see Zachary play as Buddy and every time we do we are asked ‘why don’t we team up?’” says Jody Tennant, who plays the role of Paul McCartney in the group.

Kevin Davey as John Lennon ads “and then Zachary came out to one of our shows and the audience were ask-ing the same thing.”

As Holly, Stevenson will be performing all of Buddy’s huge hits such as… “Maybe Baby”, “That’ll Be The Day”, “Peggy Sue”, “Everyday”, “Oh Boy” and more.

Buddy Holly and The Beatles plus Rock’n’Roll Diva Molly Dee, May 24 at 7 p.m. in HUB International Theatre at the Cultural Centre. $43.50, by call-ing 604-391-SHOW (7469)www.chilliwack-culturalcentre.ca

Eric J. Welsh,THe Progress

Valley Husker head coach Adam believes his team will be better in 2015, with a full stable of returnees bolstered by an influx of talent.

He’s put the names on paper.He’s juggled lineups in his

head.But it was all educated guess-

work until the players were standing in front of him.

Returnees and recruits gath-ered together for the first time last weekend, going through the paces at spring camp.

The camp ended Monday morning with a scrimmage — the closest thing to live action that these players will see until July.

Smith, the energetic second-year bench boss liked what he saw.

“We really focused on the kind of kids we need to fill some of the holes we’ve got this year,” he said. “The talent I saw this week-end is certainly upgraded. We’re ready to go and now I can’t wait til July camp.”

As many as 68 players were involved over the weekend, a good turnout compared to past spring camps. Among the stand-outs, rookie running back Brett Westad, who’s trying to make the leap from high school ball (GW Graham) to junior.

Another running back also made an impression.

“We call him Cariboo, but

Brendan Atkinson from Mission joined us late last year,” Smith said. “Between Brendan and Brett, on the ground we look really solid.”

Kyle Cummings impressed Smith on the defensive side.

“He’s ripped. He’s strong. He’s a beast causing heck on the edge, and it’s nice to see he put in the work and is ready to go,” Smith said. “Halfback Jordan Tabin is another kid who put in the work in the weight-room and on the field and it really showed out here.”

Making the trip to Chilliwack from his home in California, Super Bowl champion running back J.R. Redmond (2001 New England Patriots) helped out as a guest coach.

Redmond’s experience being coached by the legendary Bill Belichick showed in the way he dealt with the Husker players.

“It’s going to be sad that he’s not here the entire season because he fit in so well,” Smith said. “His attention to detail, all the little things — he demands perfection from players with every assignment.”

“J.R. gave us one of the best compliments we’ve ever had when he said that of all the places he’s been to in the U-S and Canada, we’re the ones who made him feel most at home,” Smith added. “We’ve got that family atmosphere developing and that’s when you start getting a good reputation.”

Emanuel Sequiera,Penticton Western News

The Penticton Vees fell short of playing for the RBC Cup national junior A hockey cham-pionship, losing in double overtime to the Carleton Place Canadians on Saturday.

Jordan Larson was able to bury a rebound over the pad of out-stretched goalie Hunter Miska to win 2-1 at the PCU Centre in Portage

la Prairie, MB. During the post-

game celebrations, the Hockey Canada web stream of the game showed Miska bent over at the side boards, while Demico Hannoun was low on one knee as a third attempt to win his first national championship came up empty.

“It hurts for our players. We played our asses off,” said Vees coach-general manager

Fred Harbinson shortly after the loss that after-noon. “I thought we had a lot of chances to make it 2-0 and it didn’t hap-pen. They made a play, they are a great team. We scored a goal in the first overtime, unfortu-nate quick whistle. We have seen that before. It wasn’t intentional. It’s one of those things that happens. They were able to make the last play.”

The play Harbinson

was referring to was Dakota Conroy’s shot from the slot area. The whistle was blown as Canadians goalie Guillaume Therien down on his knees had the puck slowly get past him.

After a scoreless first period, in which the Vees were edged 9-8 in shots, Tyson Jost gave the Vees a 1-0 lead in the second period. He was able to put away a rebound from a Connor

Chartier shot. That lead lasted until

two minutes remained in the period when Stephen Baylis picked off a pass from Gabe Bast and skated into the zone before beating Miska with a wrist shot high glove.

In the third period, the Canadians edged the Vees in shots 9-6, however neither could finish their chances. The Canadians had a glorious chance with an

empty net but missed.Baylis was the main

threat for the Canadians in overtime, but he couldn’t solve Miska who came up big to keep the Vees.

Harbinson said led by their captains, “each guy left it out there.”

“Obviously we’re one of the youngest teams in junior hockey,” said Harbinson. “The reason we get to play basically until the last day was because of the work

ethic, the type of char-acter that we showed.

“Unfortunately the finale of the whole thing is tough to take,” continued Harbinson. “They are a veteran team, lost in overtime in the national champi-onship game a year ago. They are a good hockey team.”

The host Portage Terriers beat the Canadians 5-2 Sunday to win the champion-ship.

An unprecedented six Project Dance com-petitive dancers have been chosen as provin-cial representatives or alternates for the pres-tigious Performing Arts BC Provincial Dance Festival.

This year’s event will be held May 26-31 in Powell River and will include 12 year old Austyn Lamont.

Lamont was named a junior stage rep at the Chilliwack Lions Music and Dance Festival.

Twelve year old Lily Maarhuis earned the same recognition at the

Surrey Dance Festival and 17 year old Emily Fox earned senior stage rep status at the same event.

Thirteen year old Hannah Bateman was named an intermediate stage rep at the PacWest Dance Festival.

Twelve year olds Kelly Blancas and Micaela Nyland are both junior stage rep alternates.

The stage division includes the jazz, lyri-cal, tap and stage disci-plines.

“It is an honour to have one provincial rep

named, but to have six of them from one stu-dio is amazing,” said Project Dance owner/director Amanda Quinton. “It’s a credit to all of these hard-working dance students and their teachers, and their families.”

“They work so hard to continue to improve their skills and they have an amazing work ethic,” she added. “Balancing their train-ing schedules with the demands of schoolwork and competitions is tough, but they always show up ready to work

hard.”Project Dance ath-

letes have enjoyed a hugely successful sea-son, amassing the stu-dio’s most-ever high-score trophies, awards and scholarships.

Provincial reps return home just in time to perform in the company show, ‘Real Love’ on May 31.

Project Dance’s mini, recreational and first-level competition year-end shows take place June 20-21 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

While in Tunisia, she survived cancer of her throat. In 1998 Lynne and her husband moved to Chilliwack and retired.

While in Honduras in 1998 for 6 months, she helped a missionary group when Hurricane Mitch caused so much destruction. Since then she spent six months each year in Honduras and enjoyed her Bible Study group of which some were from the days of Hurricane Mitch. Lynne fi nally lost her courageous battle with cancer May 12, 2015.
