Winds bring havocJennifer FeinbergThe Progress
Blustery winds and steady rain hit Chilliwack Tuesday bringing down transformers, trees and power lines all over town.
Power was out for more than 12,000 Chilliwack residents by mid morning with gusty winds of up to 80 km/hr and heavy rain reported.
Wolfe, Jones, Majuba Hill, Promontory and Hope River Roads were just some of the locations were power lines came down, according to BC Hydro.
Downed lines were logged on Vedder, Ruddick, Yale, Trethewey, Rowat, Chilliwack Lake, Solway, Columbia Valley Roads and still counting.
Fire crews were kept busy throughout the region. At one point there was a callout for addi-tional staff because the department was fielding so many calls at once.
When heavy rains pummel the region over a short period, the local creeks and rivers also can swell. With a rapid increase in water levels, the danger to the pub-lic increases, especially for those who like to fish from shorelines or gravel bars.
“Chilliwack River flow expected to peak late Friday due to coming rain. Knee-deep water can knock you off your feet. Use caution!’ warned Chilliwack Search and Rescue members on Facebook.
SAR says sandbars and shore-line can rapidly shift or disappear quickly with intense rainfall.
“The water levels rise and fall very quickly in these parts,” according to SAR posts.

Fraser Valley Mitsubishi owner Don Murphy says two women were on his lot minutes before a tree came down in Tuesday’s wind storm, falling on a row of brand new automobiles.
He is thankful no one was injured and angry that an easily avoidable situation continues to happen.
Another tree toppled in early November, crushing one vehicle and causing $80,000 in damage.
Murphy expects more of these tall, thin trees that bend like straws in the wind will fall in the future.
But because his business is on land adjacent to a fish stream that is also home to some beavers, the City of Chilliwack and the provin-
cial ministries of forestry and fish-ing forbid him to touch the trees.
Each time he has called a tree-topping service, they tell him they can’t touch the job.
“They’ve told me the City will never give them any more work again, ever, ever, if they find out about it,” Murphy fumed. “If you
cut them down, they’ll be happy to come arrest you, but otherwise it’s not their problem.”
“I’m all for nature and preserv-ing the environment, but topping those trees 20 to 30 feet isn’t going to hurt anybody, including the trees. In order to preserve those trees, you need to trim them. But
they don’t believe that.”Murphy expects he’ll have to
have a scratch and dent sale to move the vehicles that were dam-aged this week.
“I don’t know exactly how much damage there is because we’re afraid to go out there,” Murphy said, while the wind continued to howl.
He knows his insurance deduct-ible and rates will rise and he feels powerless to do anything about it.
“My insurance is probably going to go from $15,000 to $30,000 next year, which is significant,” he said. “At the end of the day that’s my problem, which is fine. Just let me top those trees so they won’t come down and kill somebody.”
“But they won’t listen to me. They won’t.”

Chilliwack real estate market starting to moveJennifer FeinbergThe Progress
The Chilliwack real estate mar-ket is heading for a transition from a slower market to a signifi-cantly busier one in the past year.
There were 288 single fam-ily homes sold in October 2015 in Chilliwack, compared to 232 houses the same time last year, an increase of 24.1 per cent, according to CADREB stats.
“Everything is going fantastic, except for the fact that the inven-tory of properties for sale has
been very low, and that pushes up the prices,” said president Travis Heppner of Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board.
The stats support this. There were only 1,637 listings at the end of October compared to 2,103 in October 2014.
Builders have been trying to play catch-up by adding units, he suggested.
“But that’s going to take some time,” Heppner said.
There’s been some new town home and single-family construc-
tion on Promontory, subdivisions in Sardis as well as some town-houses in Chilliwack proper.
Those townhouses near down-town are going for$299,000 to $350,000, he said.
So the prices are definitely higher than they were, he said, and because there’s no inventory, people seem willing to pay more for what is available.
A lot of buyers are still mov-ing into Chilliwack from com-munities west, such as Langley where a $600,000 residential
property can be had for more like $450,000, Heppner noted.
Total value of the real estate sold last month was 117,247,354 compared to 74,966,040 the same time last year.
Most house sales were in the $400,000 to $499,999 range, according to CADREB stats. There was also a sizeable bump in commercial real estate transac-tions, including retail and indus-trial properties, at $16.6 million compared to last year’s $976,828, during the same month.
Chilliwack’s robust real estate activity reflects the strong numbers also shown in the Vancouver area market over the same time period.
B.C. Real Estate Association (BCREA) reported a total of 8,725 residential sales by MLS in October, up 14.1 per cent from the same month last year. Total sales dollar volume was $5.8 billion, up 32.3 per cent compared to the previous year. The average MLS residential price in the province rose to $667,480, up 16 per cent from October 2014.

It’s the purr-fect gift for cat lovers and underprivileged ani-mals in our community.
Amber Price, owner of The Book Man, shared a seat with Nietzsche in a cozy nook of the store to flip through the pages of the fifth annual charity cat calendar.
Organized by Price and designed by Emily Hamel, the proceeds from the heart-melting 2016 calendars will go toward funding the services of Ena’s Community Cats.
The charitable organization is run by Ena Vermerris, the selfless woman who works tirelessly to provide affordable spay, neutering and veterinary care for financially challenged members of the community, and promotes healthy, respon-sible pet ownership.
In the past calendar year, Ena has spayed and neutered 335 cats, 40 dogs, and assist-
ed with vet bills, flea and mite problems, and re-homing for many other animals in need.
Ena’s many supporters and fans lined up at the official launch of the calendars on Nov. 14, where they had the oppor-tunity to get Ena’s autograph on their calendar and thank her for all that she does.
Back when she worked with Chilliwack Animal Safe Haven, Ena was the person who helped cats Nietzsche and Gatsby find homes in the Chilliwack and Abbotsford Book Man loca-tions.
“She struck a chord with me immediately,” Price enthused. “You don’t meet very many people that have that level of passion and dedication.”
The Book Man has been pro-ducing the cat calendars since 2011, which have grown in popularity year after year. Price said that staff were “shocked” to sell over 100 of them in the inaugural year.
Price quickly began col-
laborating with other “work-ing cats” in town, who had fan bases of their own. Every year, a group of returning and new furry models come together to fill the pages. This year they have 12 cats from ten indepen-dent businesses.
Of course, they gave Nietzsche, the “founding feline” a little extra coverage. He not only graces the cover, he’s also Mr. September and Mr. December.
In addition to The Book Man, the 2016 calendar fea-tures felines from Ann Davis Transition Society, Sears Home Services, Country West Supply, Video Tonite, Swinstones Granite Shop, Platinum Lash, TNT Hair Studio, Arctic Fox Contracting, and the rather ironic Wild Birds Unlimited.
The 2015 calendar fundraiser brought in more than $4,100 for the charity, and Price hopes to break the $5,000 mark this year.
It’s an easy and adorable
way to make a difference for Chilliwack pets. “Plus, you get 13 months of glorious catness to take home,” Price laughed.
The calendars, printed by Marcom Signs & Graphics, are priced at $16.95 each. The Book Man also offers illustrated Nietzsche canvas bags at $3.95, and they continue to provide kitty bookmarks and charitable token jars at the front counter.
This project wouldn’t be possible without the local pho-tographers who donated their time and expertise, including Claudia Wyler, Charmaine Schmidt, Ian Meissner, Alana Leduc, Kim Mallory, Leah Riley, Sarah Sovereign and oth-ers.
You can purchase a calendar at The Book Man or at many of the cats’ places of work listed above.
Donations can also be made directly to the charity at www.enascommunitycats.ca.
The Book Man owner Amber Price gets cozy with bookstore cat Nietzsche to show off the adorable 2016 charity cat calendars, supporting Ena’s Community Cats.

Fraser hospital jams easing: report cardJeff NagelBlack Press
Hospitals in the Fraser Health region have improved slightly from the spring on key indicators of congestion, but large numbers of incoming patients continue to wait too long to get a bed.
Fraser’s latest report card suggests that remains a persistent problem despite repeat-ed initiatives to improve patient flow.
At Chilliwack general, for example, there were 10 people waiting for a bed; in Abbotsford, that number climbs to 38.
As of September, it shows just under 40 per cent of admitted patients got a bed within a 10-hour benchmark so far this year. That’s far below a target of 55 per cent, which is itself lower than more ambitious targets that had been set in previous years and subsequently discarded.
A 2012 congestion review warned hallway medicine was so rampant in Fraser that staff were resigned that the jammed conditions would remain “intractable.”
At that time, just 51 per cent of patients admitted through emergency were getting a bed within 10 hours.
The 39.8 per cent rate for 2015 is up from 35 per cent last May.
Just two hospitals – Burnaby and Fraser Canyon – are currently meeting the 55 per cent target for admission within 10 hours.
The majority of incoming patients wait lon-ger than that at every other Fraser hospital.
And two thirds or more of the patients are waiting longer than 10 hours at Abbotsford Regional, Chilliwack General, Delta, Eagle Ridge, Ridge Meadows and Surrey Memorial hospitals.
In contrast, neighbouring Vancouver Coastal health authority reported it’s essen-tially meeting the same target with more than 54 per cent of its patients getting a bed within 10 hours.
From April to August, Fraser averaged 204 patients across its hospitals who’ve been admitted but not yet given a proper bed and are instead being treated in ERs, hallways, lounges or other non-acute care areas. That’s down from 222 in the spring, but still in excess of a target of 165 or less.
However, Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the latest data available shows a further drop in October to 199 and all of those patients are now in ER beds, not hallways.
Juma credited the improving trend to Fraser’s decision to use $5 million to hire more staff to prevent unnecessary hospital

City of Chilliwack’s bylaw enforcement has been focused on imple-menting the new rules around false alarms in recent months.
Warning letters are being followed up by fines, as was announced from city hall last year.
False Alarms are known to waste emer-gency responder resources. Recent bylaw statistics includ-ed the following num-bers, according to city officials:
• July: 95 property owners received warn-ing letters for false alarms.
• August: 49 owners received warning let-ters
• Sept.: 5 owners received a $100 penalty; and 20 owners received a warning letter.

A new liquefied natural gas plant is being proposed by the Tsawwassen First Nation, Fortis BC and other partners but TFN leaders will first put it to a vote of their members to gauge their support before actively pursu-ing it.
Chief Bryce Williams said he will follow the will of his people, but
believes the project would offer significant benefits, including rev-enue for the TFN and up to 100 long-term jobs for members.
“I think it’s a very interesting project and it has very good poten-tial of moving forward,” Williams said, adding he’s not taking sides in the vote set for Dec. 16. “I’m on the fence. I rec-ognize all the benefits. There are some nega-tive impacts to think
about as well.”It would be the
third LNG export pro-posal in the Lower Mainland in addition to the Woodfibre LNG plant proposed near Squamish and the Wespac LNG export terminal in Delta, which would ship out LNG produced next door at Fortis BC’s long-run-ning Tilbury plant.
The project would occupy 32 hectares of treaty land the TFN have already zoned for industry and would like-ly otherwise be devel-oped as warehousing.
Five to six LNG car-riers would dock at Deltaport to load LNG from the TFN plant, in contrast to the Wespac jetty proposal, which would see LNG carri-ers ply the lower Fraser River.
The plant would com-press and supercool three to five million tonnes of natural gas per year to liquid form for export.
That’s about a quar-ter the size of the $11-billion Petronas LNG proposal near Prince Rupert but larg-er than the $1.7-billion
Woodfibre proposal.Unlike most other
LNG proposals in B.C., the TFN plant would use electric drive com-pression instead of
burning natural gas to power the process.
The project would require a 10-kilometre extension of Fortis BC’s pipeline in Delta.
If all three projects currently proposed in the region advanced, Fortis BC officials say there would have to be

Time to think of othersFor some in Chilliwack, the very word Christmas causes stress and
a feeling of helplessness and woe.Who doesn’t want their children to enjoy the magic of a present or
two? Who doesn’t want to sit around a table with family and or friends — with or without a gaudy sweater — and enjoy a festive meal?
For some in our region, these things just aren’t possible. Keeping the electricity on and basic food in the house is a daily struggle. A turkey with all the fixings? Forget about it. A video game system under the tree? Not likely — the television barely works and the computer is about 20 years old and struggles to send basic e-mails.
While it’s not a good scenario for the children, we ask you to consid-er the parents, too. The not-good-enough feeling that pushes against them every day is magnified at Christmas.
Yes, there are people who squander their opportunities. There are those who would rather collect some measly government cheque each month than work. There are those — despite their good health and relative youth — who scoff at the idea of working a couple of minimum wage jobs, accepting handouts instead. There are those who work the system for as much taxpayer money they can squeeze out of the government — in fact, they see that as their job.
There are people some might consider unworthy of our help at Christmas because they don’t seem to want to help themselves.
However, we cannot let this dampen our spirit to help those who are truly needy. And there are many in our region.
Let organizations like Chilliwack Community Services and the Salvation Army sort out who is truly needy and who is not. In fact, they are pretty good at this job. They ask the questions and collect information from those seeking assistance. Do they err on the side of helping, rather than investigating? Yes, but these organizations come from a caring place, so we should expect and welcome their liberal attitude regarding who gets help.
Think of the children this Christmas, but think of their parents, too.~ Black Press

RAESIDE
VICTORIA – We will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence cli-mate change.
As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations sum-mit to deal with human impact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond.
Foreign Af fairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as envi-ronment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.
Dion gave a revealing inter-view to The Globe and Mail last
week about his experience in government.
“The old system was to give the file of the environment to
the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environ-ment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not
work.”It certainly didn’t work, which
is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liberals consid-ered the environment ministry a mere public relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a
unanimous vote of Congress.We now understand more
about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. bil-lionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated.
Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty.
This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commer-cial sponsored by the UN, featur-ing animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,”
trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well.
One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices.
China and India’s carbon emis-sions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations ges-ture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent.
Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if it includes another increase in
B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline.
Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, pro-vincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre.
The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global reces-sion of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a world-wide glut of oil and gas.

I have been a pedestrian in Chilliwack for nearly all my life, and today I had a near impact with a driver while crossing the crosswalk at Hocking Ave and Yale Rd.
The sign said walk, and I hap-pened to proceed without using my usual and excessive caution. Today was exceptionally rainy (shouldn’t drivers be MORE cau-tious?) so naturally I had my hood up. That was my first mis-take, and the second was putting too much faith into drivers of
this city. As I approach my 31st birth-
day, I have come to realize the fragility of life and no longer jaywalk. I can only imagine what was on that driver’s mind when he stopped mere inches from myself, embarrassingly waved and resumed his day.
Only months ago I witnessed a driver turning southbound off Hocking onto Yale, and hit an elderly gentleman knocking his mobility scooter with him in it on it’s side. Within seconds five
to ten people were helping him back up amidst the angry honk-ing of all the impatient drivers trying to bypass this situation. The comment from the driver? “I didn’t see him.”
So I guess what I’m trying to convey to ALL drivers in Chilliwack, good and bad, is to be aware that people are using crosswalks properly so please be looking for them always - espe-cially now that we’re entering the rainy season.
David Hill
Rainy season calls for extra care
The Paris conference on Global Warming, recently changed to “Climate Change” but still meaning the same is coming up soon. We can anticipate a deluge of information and pro-paganda to prepare us for the ultimate purpose of the conference, i.e. transfer of wealth from the West.
We also will be told that the science is settled. People on this planet cause Global Warming by their CO2 production. And any-one having the audac-ity to ask questions will receive the traditional punishment of ridicule, Neanderthal attitudes etc. because the Science behind Global Warming has been settled.
So let’s consider a couple of other issues in the last 50 years that Science declared set-tled.
Isaac Asimov in one of his first publications and considered a great
scientist wrote in the early fifties that any moon landing vehicle would sink out of sight in a huge layer of dust that had accumulated over time. Nasa spent millions to circumvent the problem. Anyone remembering the first walk on the moon will remember that there is only a slight accu-mulation of dust on its surface of a couple of inches.
Science was wrong.The Club of Rome
forecasted that all of mankind would per-ish within a couple of decades because the earth could not possibly feed all the people. Well the world is producing more food now than ever before feeding a larger population than ever before. To be sure, there is still hunger. But we also are still around!
Science was wrong.Y2K was going to cre-
ate unbelieveble disrup-tion and cause massive
problems. Well, it did not.
Science was wrong.SARS would be a
disastrous worldwide outbreak and cause havoc all over the world. It did not.
Science was wrong.H1N1 would be a
pandemic not dissimilar to the infamous Spanish Flue and claim millions of lives. It did not.
Science was wrongThe IPCC pro-
claimed a steady rise in temperatures cause by CO2 expulsion. The rise stopped in some 16 years ago in spite of our continued increase in CO2. Dr. Mann showed the famous hockeystick supporting the hypoth-esis of Global warming. The hockeystick has been discredited by 2 Canadian scientists.
Science was wrong.There was a scien-
tific “consensus” about Global Warming, until the “e-mail gate” of the university of East
Anglia proved different.Science was wrong.There are more
examples similar to these. The point is the illustration that those intimidating us with “Science” may not have a strong point after all.
Does the world expe-rience Climate Change? Certainly! Always has and likely always will.
Is man made CO2 the culprit this time? If we are not allowing for other factors in this process such as defor-estation, Solar activ-ity, volcanic activity/large forest fires, atmo-spheric water vapor, encroachment by urban settlement on measur-ing stations etc, we may come to the conclusion again that:
Science was wrong.At this point we
are far too narrowly focussed for the sake of political convenience. That’s going to cost us, dearly.

I had begged my dad to go to the Chilliwack Museum for months on end. So when he finally took me we had the best time ever! I am writing this let-ter to encourage you to visit the museum because it seems that they don’t get many visitors.
When we arrived at the muse-um, a friendly lady opened the
door and said kids are free so that was nice. First we looked in the room with the First Nations displays. The lady opened a closet door and let us check out some tools. I don’t mean ham-mers and nails, but kitchen tools from long ago. Next we looked at some pictures and old fash-ioned stuff.
The museum is clean and spar-kley, not dusty and musty like my dad said it would be. There is lots to do at the Chilliwack muse-um so please visit this place. Check on the computer to make sure it is open before you go. Have a fun visit. We did!

admissions, support weekend discharges and speed transfers from emergency to inpatient units.
“That investment that we had made earlier in the year is starting to pay off,” she said. “We are starting to see that num-ber now come down and are effectively no longer using hallway beds to provide the care to the patients.”
Another bright spot in the report card is that the average length of stay in hospital is down to 8.2 days, within 10 per cent of the target of 7.8 days, also indicating improv-ing patient flow through wards to residential care or home care.
But too many “long-stay patients” are still occupying hospital beds for more than 30 days.
And too many extra days that don’t need to be spent in hospital happen while patients that could be discharged wait for transfer to a care home or to home care or other specialized care with sup-ports.
Fraser says it plans to open 34 new residential care beds soon to help
improve that flow.Juma predicted the
ongoing work to add resi-dential beds and improve community capacity “is also going to have impact as we start to move peo-ple out of the hospital into the places they need to be in the community and then out of those emer-gency beds into those inpatient beds.”
Overall, the eight out of 30 indicators on the report card are meeting target, 16 are within 10 per cent of targets, and six are well off-target and a priority for improve-ment.
Fraser is beating the provincial target for speedy repair of hip fractures. And the rate of C. difficile antibiotic resistant infections is now below the provincial target.
Hand hygiene is also strong with 88 per cent of staff washing correctly in audits, compared to an 80 per cent provincial target.
The two Lower Mainland health authori-ties both publish report cards but don’t report all the same indicators.
Vancouver Coastal has a target for keeping surgery wait times in
excess of 52 weeks to no more than two per cent of cases, and its report card shows that was 1.1 per cent as of August.
She said the propor-tion of surgeries in Fraser waiting longer than 52 weeks was 2.4 per cent in 2014-15, down from 5.7 per cent in 2010-11.
The average wait time for surgeries in Fraser has declined from more than 14 weeks in 2010-11 to 11 weeks as of last year, while the number of surgeries performed increased about 2.4 per cent to 85,000 proce-dures.

capacity upgrades to the main natural gas pipe-lines that run to the Lower Mainland from north-eastern B.C.
TFN officials said it’s too early to say what proportion equity stake the first nation would get in the project, or what direct benefits might flow to members.
It’s proposed as a joint venture that includes Fortis BC LNG Development Inc., Mitsui and Nexterra, and could be in operation as early as 2022, subject to environmental approvals and a go-forward business decision.
The announcement came Monday at Fortis BC’s LNG plant at Tilbury, which is in the midst of a $400-million expansion.
It’s the only operating LNG facility in B.C. and company officials said they’ve signed $50 million in local contracts since ground was broken a year ago.
Much of the expanded LNG supply would be available for local use in B.C., such as in buses and ferries, as well as industry.
TFN joint ventures are among the businesses benefitting from the Fortis Tilbury expansion.
Not all of the 20 LNG projects proposed in B.C. will advance, Premier Christy Clark said, but added she hopes the Squamish, Tilbury and TFN projects succeed.
“I think it would be fantastic,” she said. “it’s jobs for people in the Lower Mainland.”

With the holidays just around the corner, many people are look-ing for new ways to find that gift “that keeps on giving.”
And one of the best ways is to give the gift of better health. In Chilliwack, there are plenty of options.
If a friend or family member has expressed a desire to slim down, don’t wait until the new year. The following items can make great holiday gifts that help your loved
ones get a head start on their weight loss goals.• Gym membership: An easy solution is a gift card to one of Chilliwack’s local fitness
centres. Both the YMCA and the Cheam and Landing Leisure Centres offer a variety of options, whether individual punch cards (great for stocking stuffers), or monthly and full-year
memberships. Not only do the cards offer flexibility, they promise variety – and might provide just the right amount of motivation toward a healthier lifestyle.
• Swimming lessons: Many people learn to swim as children, but a refresher course can help loved ones who have not dipped their toes in any water in recent years. Such lessons also may
ignite (or reignite) a passion for swimming, which is a wonderful exercise that can promote weight loss and cardiovascular health while helping men and women develop toned muscles. Both the Y and the Leisure centres offer lessons; go along for the first few lessons to help calm any nerves your loved one might have.
• Yoga mat and DVD: Yoga has grown increasingly popular in recent years. According to a survey from the National Institutes of Health, the number adults participating in yoga has more than doubled. Yoga is a great way to relieve stress and get in shape, and it can help men and women feel more flexible. That increased flexibility can help men and women looking to lose weight, making a yoga mat and DVD an ideal holiday gift. Such gifts are even better for men and women who may feel intimidated by exercising after a long layoff, as they can dust off the cobwebs from the com-forts of their own homes. Throw in a complimentary pass to one of the many great yoga studios here in Chilliwack and your gift might fuel the inspiration and confidence to try something new.
• Personal Trainer: Another way to help a loved one get back on the path toward better fit-ness is to connect them with a personal trainer in Chilliwack. Set them up with an introductory
session, and let them take it from there. • Healthy cookbook: Effective, long-term weight loss requires both diet and exercise. A
cookbook full of healthy recipes can prove an invaluable resource for men and women who recognize the role healthy foods play in losing weight and keeping the weight off. Many
adults cite a lack of time as the primary reason they eat unhealthy foods, so look for a cookbook that offers healthy recipes that can be cooked up quickly.
• Fitness tracker: Fitness trackers come in many shapes and sizes, but many allow users to count their steps and track the distances they travel in a typical day. More
advanced models may even help men and women track the amount of calories they’ve consumed, both on a daily basis and over time. Such devices can
prove motivational to men and women looking to lose weight, provid-ing detailed daily information they can use to track and see their
progress.Holiday gifts that aim to help men and women looking
to lose weight can pay dividends long after the holi-day season has come and gone.

Ronda Cushnie’s journey has led her to her deep-
est passion: To help others to help themselves, specifically by promoting whole foods nutrition and lifestyle educa-tion.
She shares her background with the hope others who struggle with weight and health can take hope.
Cushnie explains: “Despite eating what was consid-ered ‘healthy’ (lots of fruit
and vegetables), I began to put on weight. Not a huge amount, just a pound or so every few weeks. I was often hungry and totally exhausted. If I’m eating healthy and con-sidered in good health, then why was I gaining weight? Why was I so tired?
“There wasn’t a diet that I didn’t try. If there was even a hint of a ‘miracle’ drop, drink or pill, I would scurry to the closest health food store
and purchase it. I juiced, I did the points system, I did the soup diet, and I did the diet shake diet. I followed the Susanne Somers diet, the Dr. Atkins diet, and took advice from the famous Dr. Oz. Then despite struggling to lose weight, the inevitable began to happen: I started having to wear larger-sized clothes.
“I was eager to seize the opportunity to work in a diet clinic which gave me
full access to their dieters (successes and challenges) and I carefully analyzed their records. I really wanted to know, did the success stories have anything in common? Was there something I was missing? I have met literally hundreds of men and women who struggled as much, if not more so than me, who were eager to lose and maintain their weight. I started to create my own database of research based on suc-cess. I just needed to find a program that agree with my ‘findings.’ Now I knew what I was looking for.
“It was then that I found the ‘Ideal Protein Protocol.’ I was impressed and started (again) on my weight loss journey. My coach encouraged me each week by reviewing my weigh in and taught me the value of journaling my eating habits. By review-ing my journal, I could see my triggers and habits. This personal accountability along with a one-on-one coach
was keystone to my success. I learned why maintaining lean body mass is important and why eating certain vegetables is better for weight loss, and how carbohydrates (includ-ing fruits) affect our bodies. The education has changed everything for me.
“Now, after studying a variety of lifestyle coaching methods and diet programs for years, I’m eager to offer my support in the
journey to find a healthier ‘you.’”
Cushnie enjoys sharing her passionate views on nutri-tion, and her bubbly energy gives other the courage to start. To book an appoint-ment, visit Pharmasave at 110 - 9193 Main Street, phone 606.792.1240, or email [email protected].

Local fitness coach branches into ‘Fit and Vibrant You’ Podcast
Tanja Shaw, owner of local fitness studio Ascend Fitness Inc., has launched the Fit
and Vibrant You Podcast. The Fit and Vibrant You Podcast offers simple, actionable steps so that listeners can improve their health, con-fidence and energy levels. The show focuses on real life fitness and nutrition, lifestyle and inspiration so that listeners can end dieting, adopt a healthier, more peaceful relation-ship with food and body, and to reclaim their health. The first episodes of the Fit and Vibrant You Podcast featured both local and international experts on topics such as mindfulness, balancing work, life and health, and eating for all day energy.
The idea for the podcast came from Shaw’s desire to take the unique philosophy of health and fitness taught at Ascend Fitness In. and offer it to a broader audience. “The focus at Ascend Fitness Inc., and the Fit and Vibrant You Podcast is to improve our client’s health so they can enjoy their life,” says Tanja Shaw. “The fitness industry often focuses on body esthetics, rigid diets and exercise programs, instead of simply feeling good and being healthy. The result is the ‘on again off again’ all or nothing mentality, negative self-talk and body image, and frustration because sticking to a program is nearly impossible. We use positive psychology and support to help people make small, reasonable changes. We’re not promising that you’ll lose 20
pounds in 20 days. In fact, we don’t really focus on weight at all. When you focus on health, your body naturally finds its healthy weight. When you do make the changes, we help you stick to them”
Shaw first fell in love with podcasts a year and a half ago. “I loved the fact that I could listen to such great content, and learn so much, while doing other things, such as going for a walk, or doing housework. A podcast was a natural choice to help spread my mes-sage.”
She admits though, that launching a pod-cast was a learning process. “So often, just as in fitness, we don’t start because we don’t know exactly what to do, or because it’s not the perfect time. A big part of the message of the Fit and Vibrant You podcast is to forgo being perfect and striving for the perfect diet, and the perfect body, and aim for pretty good. I’m a recovering perfectionist; so launching a podcast while still being a work in progress was good practice for me.”
The Fit and Vibrant You Podcast is avail-able to listeners on iTunes and Stitcher Radio. Fans of the podcast can contact Tanja via email at [email protected] to provide feedback and ideas for the podcast.

Clean eating is a growing trend among people focused on health and wellness.
A relatively simple concept of selecting foods that are minimally processed, clean eating intends to instill a greater under-standing of the pathway between a food’s origins and the final products that end up on grocery store shelves and dinner tables.
Choosing whole or “real” foods that are as close to their natural forms as possible is a staple of clean eating. The avail-ability of convenience food products has never been greater, and not all packaged foods are unhealthy. But clean eating encourages con-sumers to be more aware of the ingredients in the foods they eat while selecting those foods that are minimally processed. Many foods des-ignated as “clean,” including vegetables and fruits, whole grains, free-range meats, low-fat dairy products, unsalted nuts, and whole seeds, are straight from the farm.
Another component of clean eating is eliminating or greatly reducing the consump-tion of refined sugar. Many people can get all the energy they need by consuming foods with natural sugars.
If an ingredient list includes names you cannot recognize or if the natural form of the food has been changed (i.e. removing the bran from whole grains), it cannot be included in a clean-eating plan. Also, foods that have a lot of additives, including salt, sugar and fat, are not classified as clean.
The benefits to clean eating are numerous. Increasing intake of fruits and vegetables can boost your immune system and serve as a nutri-tious way to maintain a healthy weight. Clean eating may help you become more conscious of everything from meal ingredients to portion sizes.
Those interested in clean eating can begin slowly. Start to introduce more fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and farm-fresh foods into your diet. Look for foods in their natural form, such as whole oats and other grains. Avoid highly refined ingredients and limit sugar and salt intake. Opt for fresh herbs and spices to season food. Over time you can make other changes.
Adopting a clean-eating approach to their diet is a great way for men and women to start living healthy lifestyles. Speak with a doctor or nutritionist about healthy and effective ways to transition to clean eating.

Bon Graham-Krulicki’s art exhibit draws from the ancient language and culture of her ancestors, as well as the fierce power of nature.
The new show, It Speaks to Me, opens Nov. 26 in the art gallery of the Cultural Centre.
“It all started with the words in 2007,” she said.
Graham-Krulicki spent a couple of years designing a spe-cial font, in part to help stave off extinction of the ancient language. It echoes the Coast Salish style artistically and she created art prints and paint-ings based on the Halkomelem words she chose to highlight. Most works include the English translations.
“Something told me to stay on my path with the language project and I saw it through.”
She worked closely with respected elders and fluent speakers for guidance, and her work was exhibited dur-ing Vancouver/Whistler 2010 Winter Olympics. She’s also been working in the local schools with children to share the Halkomelem language through video and art projects where they create a unique painting on canvas which stays behind at each school.
A graphic artist for more than 25 years, she earned rec-ognition as a Dreamcatchers Charitable Foundation Big Idea finalist. Her work can be spotted in Chilliwack in the The Stó:lõ Resource Centre, Chilliwack General Hospital, Native Women’s Association of Canada and more.
There’s a strong focus on nature in this show. A centre display case will contain Fraser River rocks, Harrison Lake driftwood, a tree from Hope, some maple leaves and cedar branches, along with some fam-ily artifacts.
“It’s a strong thread that runs through almost all of it,” she noted, from the blood moon, to the feathers, trees, and totems.
Most of her work in the show is acrylics on canvas and will include more than 50 pieces. Some have textured elements like cedar tree branches, and some, like the traditional Coast Salish designs were printed directly on log slices.
Born in Hope, the artist is a member of the Snuneymuxw First Nation of Nanaimo, where her mother Ellen (Prest) Graham and grandmother Lavina (Wyse) Prest were born.
A descendant of the Wyse family, Graham-Krulicki signs her work ‘b. wyse’ as a nod to family history.
Her Stó:lõ roots date back to the late 1800s, and her great-grandmother was (Tata) Mary (Benn) Prest, wife of William Prest, from the Skwah First Nation.
Graham-Krulicki is now working as a member of the Sto:lo Tourism redevelopment team, operating and reinvigo-rating the Sto:lo Gift Shop on the Coqualeetza site, which allows her to showcase the work of emerging and estab-lished aboriginal artisans.
She’s been winnowing down her choices of what to include in the show for more than a year. There will be several new works, and one of her favourite pieces in the show is called Yellow Girl.
“There was just something about the beauty of her face as she came to light,” she said. “She represents youth and our hopes for the future.”
The show’s title, It Speaks to Me, was inspired by the poem My Heart Soars, by Chief Dan George.
“When it came to naming my show, I thought it was fitting,” she said.
“I wanted it to have cultural significance but with a modern twist.”
Chief Dan George wrote: “The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air, the fragrance
of the grass, speaks to me.“The summit of the moun-
tain, the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea, speaks to me.
“The strength of the fire, the taste of salmon, the trail of the sun, and the life that never goes away, they speak to me. And my heart soars.”
From the pride of a pow-wow dancer, or salmon war-rior, to the woven basket and Halkomelem inspired words and phrases, she felt strongly about sharing some cultural elements that lit her fire.
“It became about how to get this into people’s hands.”
When a cedar basket came back to the Skwah First Nation, she had to draw one of the baskets.
“It was a great story to hear how it came back to the com-munity, after all these years, and links directly to my Sto:lo lineage.”
Reception: Saturday, Nov. 28, 1 to 3 p.m.
Exhibit is Nov. 26 to Jan. 2 in the O’Connor Group Art Gallery at the Cultural Centre, 9201 Corbould St. from 12 noon until 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays. Also 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on show nights.
Artist Bon Graham-Krulicki titled her show, It Speaks to Me, with a whisper of Chief Dan George, and the opening reception is set for Nov. 28.
Art show that will speak to you
Fogale and Maillot at Acoustic EmporiumSam BatesThe Progress
Hear two incredible B.C. talents in one night at the Acoustic Emporium. Luca Fogale and Alexandrea Maillot will take the stage on Nov. 20 with inspiring performances.
A folk singer-songwriter from Burnaby, Fogale writes music about real life. He draws great influence from classic poets and song-writers to create music that com-municates a pow-erful message to the listener.
F o g a l e dropped out of university in 2011 to focus his efforts on his music career. He has since per-formed all over Vancouver and toured across Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Since his 2013 debut release of Paths, fea-turing the downtown East Vancouver-inspired What I Came Here For, Fogale’s passion for music has grown daily, as does his creativity.
Fogale was named a Top 20 finalist in the Peak Performance Project, as was Loudmouth MGMT labelmate Malliot, who will also be performing at the show that you won’t want to miss.
Maillot, hailing from Vancouver Island, car-ries herself in song and spirit beyond her 22 years.
Maillot’s debut EP Just Another Girl came to fruition in 2012 after several years in the works. The album marks an epoch of Maillot’s person-al and creative evolution, written and produced in the critical years of her adolescence.
Now with a decade of performance experi-ence in tow, Maillot has made a name for her-self performing at festivals across Canada and overseas, opening for many established acts including Hey Ocean and Jann Arden, and she has won several competitions including Shore 104.3’s Best of B.C. grant.
See Fogale and Maillot live on Nov. 20 at the Acoustic Emporium (45892 Wellington Ave). Tickets are $10 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 7:30 p.m.
Two accomplished young B.C. performers take the stage at the Acoustic Emporium on Nov. 20.

Festive craft market extravaganza this weekendSam BatesThe Progress
It’s that time of year. Weekends are filled
with unique, festive markets to shop for handmade gifts from talented artisans.
The Chilliwack
Community Ar ts Council has been bus-ily preparing to pres-ent their 41st annual Chilliwack Christmas
Craft Market this week-end.
The three-day mar-ket extravaganza will connect guests with the very best handmade products that British Columbian artisans have to offer this holi-day season.
“We are really pleased with the range of unique products available this year at the market,” said Patti Lawn, Executive Director of the Chilliwack Community Arts Council.
A variety of talent-ed artisans will dis-play their incredible work with art, jewelry, ceramics, toys, fashion and accessories, food, health and beauty items and much more.
Due to the success of their bustling markets in the past, guests will comfortably wander through the expanded aisles at Heritage Park to check out the juried merchandise at more than 150 booths.
Shopping at the craft market provides the opportunity to speak with the artist and understand their pas-
sion and techniques, ultimately resulting in a more special and mean-ingful gift-giving experi-ence for your friends or family.
Some ar tisans have been participat-ing for decades, like Chilliwack-based potter Ted Driediger or the Chilliwack Spinners and Weavers Guild. Other vendors will take part in the market for the first time, like newcomer
Dragon Mist Vodka. Guests will also have
the opportunity to check out the “amaz-ing” floral art exhibit from the Chilliwack Floral Art Club up close in the market this year.
Proceeds from the fun and festive annual mar-ket will go towards the Chilliwack Community Arts Council. “This is our big fundraiser of the year,” said Lawn. “[The proceeds] really help
us continue to offer our programs and events all year.”
Attendees will also experience the Festival of Trees. Local busi-nesses and schools have the opportunity to creatively decorate their tree, donated by Pine Meadows Tree Farms, in a theme of their choice, to be entered in the People’s Choice contest.
The Chilliwack Community Arts Council’s 41st annual Christmas Craft Market takes place November 20 to 22 at Heritage Park.

The Chilliwack Players Guild will pres-ent the hilarious win-ter Panto Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs November 19 to 28 in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Often called Pantomimes, these broad, satirical com-edy productions can sometimes be confus-ing for modern North American audiences, who feel that ‘’mime ‘’ constitutes a non-verbal presentation. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Pantos, a long - loved winter tradition in England, are filled with songs, slapstick com-edy, and dance, along with corny gags that often contain local jokes and digs at the current political situation. .
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a show for the whole family from children through to grandparents and interaction between audience and perform-ers is encouraged, pro-
viding many opportuni-ties for a fun – filled and entertaining theatrical experience
Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs plays Thursday to Saturday, November 19 to 21 at 7pm and Sunday, November 22 at 2pm along with Thursday
and Friday, November 26 and 27 at 7pm and Saturday, Nov 28 at 2pm. There is also a special student/school matinee on Wednesday, November 25 at 11am.
Ticket prices are as follows: Adults $20, students and seniors $15 and children under
ten years of age $10. Tickets can be pur-chased in person at The Cultural Centre box office at 9201 Corbould Street or by phone at 604-391-7469. For more details and information visit the Centre’s web-site at chilliwackcultur-alcentre.ca

Do you really know what your kids are up to?
▾ MYTH: Once kids join a gang there’s no hope for them: Reality: Gang members in B.C. come from every socio-economic background and
all ethnicities. While racial, ethnic, and gender composition can vary by locality or type of gang, gangs are often as diverse as our
communities and many do not restrict who joins as long as they can make money for the gang.

SceneShawn Farquhar brings back the magic
night show, Shawn Farquhar’s Cabaret of Wonders got off to a hugely successful start, proving just how much audiences love the unmatched excite-ment that magic offers - especially combined with the Cabaret’s up-c l o s e - a n d - p e r s o n a l atmosphere! It was a thrilling beginning to the four-part series, and as The Chilliwack Cultural Centre is the only facility in the province to present magic in this format, as well as Shawn’s
local links as a Lower Mainland magician himself, it reveals just how strongly magical energy runs through the region.
The upcoming event will add a pair of international illusion-ists to the fun, bring-ing Master Payne of Seattle and Michael Dardant all the way from New Orleans, Louisiana up to British Columbia.
This variety of per-formers, styles, and magical mastery lies at the heart of the Cabaret of Wonders – and with the unique elements that both
Master Payne and Michael Dardant will add to Shawn Farquhar’s own world-class per formance, Cabaret of Wonders Two is set to be another unforgettable celebration of magic. With performances at both 7:30 and 10 p.m. you can either get in on the action early or enjoy a late-night dis-play of magical talent – the choice is yours! But don’t forget that
tickets for the opening night of this innovative magic series sold out in advance, so don’t delay on securing yours today – waiting around could be even riskier than getting sawn in half.
Tickets are $20 and are available at The Centre Box Office, visit www.chilliwackcultur-alcentre.ca or call 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more information.

Buying Real Estate? What is titleinsurance and why do you need it?
One of many details you would be wise to understand when you buy or build a home is title insurance. It is a purchase with significant ramifications but is a detail to which many home buyers pay little attention.
Title insurance is your protection against the many risks which are incident to real estate titles. These hidden defects could include forgery, fraud, recording errors, missing or unknown heirs in a property deed and unpaid construction or repair bills. Other title risks might include an easement (right-of-way) not discovered by survey, or errors in the tax records which cause the current owner to be saddled with delinquent tax payments.
Your lender will require title insurance coverage for a dollar amount equal to your loan amount. You would be wise to discuss with your notary or attorney the pros and cons of your securing owner’s title insurance.
For the same reason you buy other types of insurance such as a homeowner’s property, disability or life insurance, you buy title insurance to protect yourself against financial loss.
Despite the best efforts of attorneys, surveyors, cclerk’s offices, title examiners, and others involved in safeguarding people’s real estate interests, errors can
occur. A title insurance policy guarantees that the title insurance company will defend, at its expense, you and/or your lender against challenges to your title. The title insurance company will foot the bill to defend you against legal actions or proceedings stemming from forgery, fraud, recording errors, previously undiscovered liens, etc.
You pay for an owner’s title policy only once, but it is said to “attach to you personally’’ and provides coverage for as long as you live, long after you have sold the property the policy covers. A lender’s title policy is “attached to the property’’ and covers the lender against title defects for as long as there is a loan balance. Talk to your notary, lawyer, or title insurance representative to understand why lender’s title insurance (without owner’s coverage) may or may not be enough to protect your interests.
Several title insurance companies likely do business in your area. Whether you buy title insurance directly or through yournotary or lawyer, you have the right to shop for title insurance among competing providers.

No Vimal Sukumaran, no problem.At least not against the BCHL’s lesser lights.
One night after bombing the Surrey Eagles 7-0, the Sukumaran-less Chilliwack Chiefs toppled the Prince George Spruce Kings 3-1 at Prospera Centre.
The Saturday night clash saw the Chiefs extend their win streak to nine games, improving to 15-5-1-2.
The hapless Spruce Kings fell to 5-16-0-2.“They’re a very structured hockey team with a
very good goaltender, and their record should be better than it is,” said head coach Jason Tatarnic. “Any team in this league can pose a threat to you on any night.”
After a goal-less opening period, Chiefs captain Jordan Kawaguchi opened the scoring 6:43 into period two.
Taking a turn on the big line to replace injured forward Sukumaran, Eric Benshadle earned the assist with an aggressive forecheck that produced a turnover behind the PG net. Kawaguchi pounced on the puck, tucking it between the post and Sam Tanguay’s out-stretched skate for his 11th of the year.
Chilliwack doubled its lead with 3:25 to go in the middle frame.
Defenceman Austin Adam picked up his first of the year, beating Tanguay through a screen with a wrist shot from the high slot.
Kawaguchi picked up his second of the game with 17.5 seconds left, converting on a nice center-ing pass from Darien Craighead.
Chilliwack goalie Aidan Pelino had a shutout streak of 155:58 dating back to the first period of last weekend’s win over Salmon Arm. The Spruce Kings snapped it on a Braiden Epp tally 4:05 into the final frame.
That was the only puck eluding Pelino, who only had 14 shots directed his way.
Tanguay faced 34, coming to the bench with 2:04 remaining for the extra attacker.
Mitch Skapski scored his fifth of the year into the empty net at 18:20 to wrap up the scoring.
The Chiefs haven’t lost a game in a month — Nanaimo last toppled them 4-2 on Oct. 18.
Yet it remains difficult to get a read on just how good they may be.
Nine wins in a row is impressive, but the asterisk attached is that five have come against the Surrey Eagles and Prince George, teams with a combined record of 10-36-0-2.
Three wins have come on the road, all against Surrey.
The remaining seven have all been within the friendly confines of Prospera Centre.
“We beat Wenatchee (14-5-2-2), we beat Salmon Arm (15-5-2-1) and we beat Langley (13-11-0-0),” Tatarnic countered. “It doesn’t matter who you’re playing, your objective is to win hockey games, and that’s what we’ve been doing.”
Tatarnic’s crew takes on the Powell River Kings (12-10-0-0) and Wenatchee Wild in home games Friday and Saturday.
This will be Chilliwack’s first look at the Kings.Chilliwack met the Wild back on Oct. 21, tak-
ing down their new Mainland division rivals 4-1 at Prospera Centre.

The MacEwan Grif fins women’s basketball team sal-vaged a weekend split on the road vs. the UFV Cascades, earn-ing a 63-59 victory on Saturday evening at the Envision Athletic Centre.
The Griffins led for much of the game, but the Cascades battled back to knot the score 59-59 on Kayli Sartori’s spin move and finish in the lane with 49 sec-onds left.
But MacEwan reclaimed the lead when point guard Kendall Lydon drove into the
paint and threaded a pass through to Megan Wood for a layup. Sartori was whistled for traveling on the ensu-ing UFV possession, and Lydon went 2-for-2 at the free throw line to seal the victory.
MacEwan improved to 3-1 behind 21 points and nine rebounds from Wood, and a double-double (14 points, 10 rebounds) from Kelly Fagan.
Chilliwack’s Sartori led all scorers with 24 points and added 11 rebounds in a stellar performance for the Cascades (2-2). Sydney Williams added 16 points, including three treys, to the Cascades’ cause.
“I thought MacEwan really responded tonight,” Cascades head coach Al Tuchscherer said. “They came in and you could tell they had a purpose in their
step. Their veteran play-ers came in and played hard, and I think our youth showed a little bit tonight. We had some execution errors, we made some silly foul-type errors, and a little too much on the turn-over side (22 for the game) as well.
“But I’m really proud of the girls’ effort tonight. We had some adversity with some injuries and some sick-ness here, and I thought we just met it head-on. The girls played hard, and they were in it right to the last possession of the game which bodes well for our team mov-ing forward.”
UFV jumped out to a 6-0 lead within two minutes of tip-off with consecutive three-balls from Williams and Sartori, but the Griffins settled in defensively and took control of the first quarter after
that. MacEwan, led by Wood’s six points, out-scored the Cascades 16-6 to carry a four-point lead into the sec-ond.
The Cascades would claw back and tie it, but once again, MacEwan found their groove and imposed their will with a 10-0 run. UFV would prove resilient, though, as Sartori came alive. The fourth-year for-ward contributed six points, one assist, three defensive boards and a steal in the final five minutes of the half to help her team close the gap to 34-29 at the half.
The teams traded baskets in the third, with MacEwan getting a big push from Fagan’s eight points and five boards in the quar-ter. The see-saw battle continued throughout the final frame, with MacEwan trying to fend off a UFV team
desperately searching to steal the win.
A 7-2 run drew UFV level for the first time since early in the sec-
ond quarter, but the Griffins made some big plays in the final minute to secure the win.
UFV will look to
improve next week-end with two games against the UNBC Timberwolves in Prince George.

The Falcons had two relay teams competing.
The mixed team of Enciso, Strelioff,
Hryciw and Hine placed ninth.

LET’S MAKE SOMEONE’S HOLIDAYS WORTH REMEMBERING!
Sports
The GW Graham Grizzlies are heading to BC Place this weekend for a football game, but it’s not a provincial final.
The Grizz will face the Holy Cross Crusaders in a quarter-final under the dome, Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
A win against the Surrey powerhouse
would send them on to a semi-final against either Carson Graham or Prince George, also at BC Place on Nov. 20.
A win there would land them back in the dome Dec. 5 for the pro-vincial final.
The Grizzlies are coming off a playoff-opening 38-21 win over
the South Kamloops Titans that was clos-er than most people expected.
GWG hosted the Titans Saturday at Exhibition Stadium, jumping out to an early 17-0 lead.
They led 24-7 late in the first half when Kamloops pulled off
two quick scores to get within three.
Trey Isaac, who used to live in Chilliwack and play for the minor foot-ball Giants, scored all three Titan majors.
Coming out of the break up 24-21, the Grizzlies locked it up in the second half, grind-ing down Kamloops
with their punishing ground game.
Starting tailback Von Richardson ended his day with 20+ carries, 200+ rushing yards and three touchdowns.
Jordon Breuker hauled the ball in the second half, carrying eight times for 90 yards and a touchdown.
Quarterback Gabe Olivares also found the endzone.
Tyler Sprott caught four balls from Olivares, two of them big gainers of 50+ yards.
Emerson Smith had five catches and Spencer Breslin booted a field goal.
The Grizzlies now face a huge test in the Crusaders, who went 3-1 in regular season play with 155 points for and 39 against.
“We know a lot about them from watching all their games multiple times,” said GWG head coach Laurie Smith. “They’re a very compa-rable team to us, and we’re expecting a huge battle. I’m really excited about it.”
See bchighschool-football.com for the lat-est scores and sched-ules.

Robert ‘Pat’ Johnson passed away on November 9, 2015 with his family at his side.
Pat was born on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 1917 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he lived until enlisting in the Royal Canadian Navy in 1941. He served as a Coder on several ships in the Atlantic and Pacifi c until his discharge in 1945.
Pat returned to Winnipeg after the war and married Jessie McIntosh in 1947. They combined their honeymoon with a move to the Coast – a ten day drive in a 1932 Chevrolet -
complete with his parents and all their belongings! Pat got a job cleaning bathrooms at the Coca-Cola plant in Vancouver and
soon progressed to sales. In 1965 he was promoted to Branch Manager of the Chilliwack Coca-Cola plant, a position he held until his retirement in 1981, completing 33 years of service with the Company.
Pat’s passion in life was helping others, directly or through community work. Soon after moving to Chilliwack, he joined the Lion’s Club and was a member for 50 years. He became involved in many fund-raising activities and was the driving force behind the creation of the Lion’s Club Flea Market. Of his many accomplishments he was particularly proud to have single-handedly collected over 300,000 pairs of used eye glasses to help people in third world countries.
Pat loved playing hockey and later enjoyed watching his Son, Grandson and Great-grandsons take up the sport with equal passion.
His Wife Jessie passed away in 1999 after fi fty two years of marriage. They were devoted to each other and their family.
For the past 12 years, Madelene Lange has been Pat’s close companion and friend, sharing his dedication to community work and love of social activities.
Pat is survived, and sorely missed by Madelene; his daughter Marlene (Alec); son Danny (Cathy); grandchildren Robert (Victoria) and Teresa (Derek) and two great grandchildren Ryder and Reid.
In lieu of fl owers, donations to Chilliwack Lions Club are greatly appreciated.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Chilliwack United Church, Friday, November 20th at 1:00 pm.
Online guest book can be signed at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother at her home in Harrison Hot Springs in her 96th year. She is predeceased by her husband of 70 years, Konrad; their son Dusty; nephew Gerhardt Hoffmann; son-in-law Neil Stewart. She was the youngest of 5 siblings and the last to go. Survived by her children Hardy (Annie) and Monika; granddaughter Natalie (Jason); great grand children Alexander and Madeleine.Elfi e was born in Breslau, Germany. Working at Junkers in Berlin, she met and
married Konrad in 1939. During the war she lived in Austria where Konnie had been posted. She used to say that the sight of Mt. Cheam reminded her of that beautiful countryside. By 1954 the family emigrated to Canada and claimed Canadian citizenship in 1958. Intelligent and hard-working, Elfi e worked at McGill and later at the University of Montreal as executive secretary for Dr. Hans Selye, head of Experimental Medicine and Surgery. She translated many of his books and eventually became translator of scientifi c publications for the Canadian government. In retirement, Elfi e and Konrad moved west to be closer to their children. She was able to explore her love of painting and of gardening. Fiesty and independent, she had a soft heart for children, animals and fl owers. She enjoyed a good joke and a good melody. In later years, Elfi e was able to continue living in her own home and community due to the kindness of her neighbours. Sincere special thanks to Susie and Georges Huwyler for their care and attention that went way above and beyond. Intimate family burial. Friends and neighbours who wish to pay respects and share stories of remembrance over a cup of tea are invited November 22, 1-4pm to the Coronet room at the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel.

Throughout the years Gene worked at various jobs such as fork-lift operator, baker, and custodian in the Maple Ridge School District. Gene loved to go fi shing, play golf and watch sports in his spare time. After having to go on disability Gene and Joanne moved to Chilliwack to be closer to family.
Gene’s connection with people was always his number one priority and he loved nothing more than to phone or drop in for a visit. Despite his struggles he worked hard to make the best of life for Joanne and himself.
