There will be little change in Chilliwack’s political landscape following Saturday’s municipal election.

Sharon Gaetz easily brushed aside two challengers in Saturday’s municipal elec-tion, earning her third term as Chilliwack mayor.

And all but one incumbent was re-elected to city council.

In the Chilliwack school dis-trict, meanwhile, all six incum-bents seeking re-election earned

their seats back.Gaetz, who went unchallenged

in 2011, secured 10,183 of the votes cast for the win.

Her closest rival came from Cameron Hull who garnered 2,731 votes.

Raymond Cauchi finished a distant third with 1,066 votes.

Gaetz will be joined by couple of new faces around the council table.

Incumbents Sue Attrill, Jason Lum, Ken Popove and Chuck

Stam were all re-elected. But they’ll be joined by newcomers Sam Waddington (who claimed the most votes overall) and Chris Kloot.

Failing to win a third term was Stewart McLean.

Gaetz said it was really exciting to see council moving forward on elec-tion night.

“First of all let’s give a huge cheer for everyone who voted,” said Gaetz, in making her vic-tory speech to family, friends

and supporters.“The biggest thing it tells me

is that the community is pleased with the direction council is taking.”

She noted it was a young council coming in to take the reins, and she’s thrilled with all the possibili-ties presenting them-selves.

“The way they spoke at the meetings gave me great hope.”

Some of the nastier develop-ments on social media gave her

Meet the two fresh new faces on city councilJennifer FeinbergThe Progress

Chicken farmer and realtor Chris Kloot, 35, is one of two new faces on Chilliwack city council.

“It’s humbling and I’m excited to get to work for this great city,” he told The Progress on Monday after the election.

He grew up on a dairy farm, and went into real estate about 10 years ago, before embarking on chicken farming.

Kloot said he entered the elec-

tion fray knowing that 11 candi-dates would not be successful, and only six would make it.

“I was cautiously optimistic,” he said, about his chances. “But I worked it hard, and am a clean slate, never having held office before.”

He’s passionate about agri-culture, and was a member of Chilliwack’s agricultural advisory committee. He took the task of running for a council seat to heart and spent a lot of time knocking on doors.

“I guess I’m an easy going and approachable guy and that reso-nated with people,” he said. “I’m not scared of hard work.”

The newbies have a steep learn-ing curve ahead, however.

“For Sam and myself, it will take some time to get acquainted with the position,” he said.

Sam Waddington, 25, was the top vote getter, earning 8,680 votes.

He owns the Vedder Road store, Mt. Waddington’s Outdoors, and has long considered himself a big Chilliwack supporter.

“The future for this community is so bright, and it is my aim to help us to realize all that is in store for us to build the best city possible,” he posted the day after his election win.

“It’s pretty outrageous,” Waddington tells The Progress, when asked what he thought about coming in as the top vote getter amongst all the candidates, new and incumbent.

He pledges to earn the con-tinued trust of each citizen of Chilliwack.

“I’m coming into it with a bunch of enthusiasm, but I am cognizant that I am new and I aim to keep my mouth shut and learn, so I can make good informed change.”

Chilliwack has “spoken” by electing some younger candidates to city council, said Waddington.

“The young approach maybe setting some precedent, and I think Chilliwack has asked for change, and I’m excited to see that.”

Sam Waddington (left) and Jack Bryceland of Chilliwack Trails Society are pleased with recent federal funding that will help the group maintain hiking trails in the Chilliwack River Valley area.

JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Trails rehab will focus on Chilliwack River ValleyJennifer FeinbergThe Progress

Chilliwack has the potential to be a vital hub of back country exploration with a world-class sys-tem of recreational trails.

That’s the long-term dream of the Chilliwack Trails Society.

But first things first.The focus now that they’ve

secured some federal funding, will be upgrading and brushing out 13 existing trails in the Chilliwack River Valley.

As an entity, the Chilliwack Trails Society is still in its ear-liest concept phase, explained Jack Bryceland, one of the Trails Society members, and project manager, as well as a long-time member of Chilliwack Search and Rescue.

“We’re starting off with the 13 hiking trails, but hopefully in the long-term we can talk about all kinds of uses across a wider area,” he said.

Job one is to try and address the trail system in the lower eleva-tions of the CRV.

“There are trees down that need to be removed.”

Signage was also removed when the trails were de-estab-lished by the provincial govern-ment back in 2002.

“The existing trails had fallen into neglect and needed work,” he said.

The work plan for 2015 will focus on trail work like dead-fall removal, repairing footpath treads, drainage work, and replac-ing the trail signage.

“At Mount Cheam people have been cutting switchbacks into it,” said Bryceland. “That could destroy the trail if there was a big

rainfall and a washout.”In a similar vein to others in

the Chilliwack outdoor commu-nity trying to address inadequate trails infrastructure in the Eastern Hillsides, members of the Trails Society are trying to address the deficiencies in CRV trails.

So far the Trails Society mem-bers have secured $28,000 in fed-eral funding from the National Trails Coalition, through the Federation of Mountain Clubs of BC, along with matching funds from several local partners.

The trails effort will be known as the Chilliwack River Valley

Hiking Trails Rehabilitation proj-ect.

Matching funds have come from partners such as: Chilliwack Forest District, Tourism Chilliwack, CEPCO, Chilliwack Outdoors Club, Give’r Take Around the Lake Society.

“If we can show success with this work, then we can move on to the bigger picture,” said Bryceland.

For Sam Waddington, a found-ing member of Trails Society, and owner of Mt. Waddington’s Outdoors, the sorry state of the local trail network was a constant

source of frustration to him.“There was a real disconnect

between the high quality of our back country, and the sub par status of the trails from a mod-ern trail building standpoint,” said Waddington.

He envisions one day seeing foot bridges over wet sections, possibly, or good signage that indi-cates the length of the trail and what hiker can expect from his-toric slides to rare flora and fauna.

One day they might build a Cheam-to-Elk traverse trail, for example.

New rules coming for local election spendingTom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – Municipal election campaigns are like mushrooms that pop up every few years, with voters still in the dark about who’s fertilizing them with how much money.

That’s why the B.C. government waited until the first elections for four-year municipal terms were held to examine how campaign spending should be regulated, says Coralee Oakes, B.C.’s minis-ter for community, sport and cul-tural development.

Oakes promised there will be new rules on spending and dona-tions from property developers, unions and other donors to munici-pal council and school board can-didates by the next province-wide municipal vote in 2018. A legisla-ture committee started working on it in October, with recommenda-tions due by Nov. 27.

“What we found is that for a lot of the organizations, if you’re not in election mode, they are not formed,” Oakes said. “So we knew that if we were to do stakeholder engagement, we need to do it when the elections were happening.”

Some urban municipalities see substantial campaign donations from special interests, with only the requirement of disclosure long after votes are counted. In Vancouver, where developers and

A house was destroyed by a fire in Agassiz Monday morn-ing, but the family living there escaped without serious injuries.

Fire crews from Agassiz, Popkum and Seabird attended the fire, which at times was shooting several feet into the air. Fire crews entered the home and extinguished the flames, and BC Hydro arrived on scene to dis-connect power to the home.

The family took ref-uge in a neighbour’s house and has been put in contact with emer-gency social services.

A member of the fam-ily has set up a Go Fund Me account to help the

family rebuild.The family has three

adults, and four chil-dren. The girls are ages 7, 8 and 10, and the boy is 13. The girls’ clothing sizes are 6x through 8, and the boy is waist size

30-32 men’s. The moth-er is a size medium (or size 5) and the father is an extra large.

A friend of the family has told Black Press that the family is in need of everything from cloth-

ing (including winter clothes), to all manner of furniture and house-hold goods. They are also now searching for a new place to live, as the house was completely destroyed by the fire and smoke.

“I hope the commu-nity can come together and help this family in the time of need, my heart breaks for them even more so as it is almost Christmas,” Heather Davis said.

She said donations can be dropped of at 1865 Agassiz Ave., in Agassiz.

Housing advocates say Lower Mainland renters are battling a crisis of affordability, with many paying more than they can afford for a roof over their heads.

The B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association has unveiled a new rental housing index website at bcnpha.ca/rhi that includes an interactive map show-ing rental data for each community.

Nearly half of renters in several Metro munic-ipalities are spending more than the maxi-mum recommended 30 per cent of their income on rent and utilities, according to the asso-ciation’s findings.

In Chilliwack, of the estimated 7,660 renter households, 51 per cent are spending 30 per cent of their income on rent, and 22 per cent are spending more than half.

And at least one in four renters pay more than half their income to rent in Richmond, Burnaby, Coquitlam, White Rock, Langley City, Vancouver and West Vancouver – cities where rent overspend-ing is flagged as “criti-cal.”

Association execu-

tive director Tony Roy said the overspending by many rental house-holds puts them at risk of financial crisis.

“Many know their rent is too high but feel like they don’t have a choice but to pay up,” Roy said. “We’re not building more rental housing, so renters are forced to overspend in crowded or deteriorat-ed conditions, or they become homeless.”

He argued it’s cheap-er to invest in afford-able housing now than face higher health and justice costs stemming from homelessness later on.

One in two B.C. rent-ers doesn’t have access to adequate and reason-ably priced housing, according to the asso-ciation.

Af fordability is worst on the Burrard Peninsula and North Shore, according to the findings, while rents get cheaper South of the Fraser and east of Coquitlam.

The index found Surrey and White Rock are the worst cities in the region for rental overcrowding, fol-lowed by Burnaby and Coquitlam.

The average monthly expenditure on rent and utilities in Metro Vancouver is $1,054,

compared to $860 in the Fraser Valley. In both regions that works out to 23 per cent of the average renter’s income.

In Chilliwack, the average rent is $857.

Metro municipali-ties have been advocat-ing for provincial and federal tax reforms to encourage construction of more rental housing.

One major problem is the aging stock of existing rental apart-

ments.According to a 2012

study, a third of Metro’s renters – 110,000 house-holds – live in low-rise wood frame buildings more than 40 years old that are increasingly targeted for redevelop-ment.

It estimated 6,300 units built before 1980 across Metro are already at moderate to high risk of redevelop-ment.

NewsRental housing affordability in ‘crisis’More than half of Chilliwack renter households are spending more than 30 per cent of their income on rent, study says

They’re also look-ing to parts of B.C. like Squamish, where they’re employing inno-vative best practices,

with the idea of apply-ing them here. It could attract more tourism and economic develop-ment with sustainable jobs.

“Our terrain is equal if

not better and our trails network should reflect that,” Waddington said. “Very realistically the Fraser Valley should call Chilliwack their back country hub.”

Along with the var-ied partners, they’re also working with representatives from Chilliwack Search and Rescue, SD33 Outdoor Education programs

and Provincial Parks to ensure that the work being done is in line with what the commu-nity needs, he added.

Soon they’ll be coor-dinating groups of vol-

unteers to help with the trail work next year.

They’ll be working to include local First Nations in the trails project as well.

Waddington contrib-

uted a chunk of the project funding, along with pledging 1% of his annual store profits to the trails society.

It will fulfill the need he saw for a third party group to undertake the trails network manage-ment, and building the trails up to a higher standard.

“This is a wholly collaborative effort, bringing together the pioneers of the back country, with some new school approaches,” he said. “We hope it will change how Chilliwack sees itself.”

They’re starting small, but dreaming big.

“I dream of over-night trails along ridge-lines with camping tent pads to allow hikers to extend their stay in the outdoors,” said Waddington.

“As well we need more short beginner grade trails leading to waterfalls, old growth forests and the like to make the backcoun-try more accessible to everyone.”

civic worker unions spend heavily, Mayor Gregor Robinson’s Vision Vancouver party and challenger Kirk Lapointe’s Non-Partisan Association were pushed to vol-untarily disclose their major donors before Saturday’s vote.

Imposing campaign reform on local govern-ments is an awkward task for the ruling B.C. Liberals, who have refused to give up their mult i -mi l l ion-dol lar advantage in corporate donations over the NDP and other challengers.

NDP leader John Horgan said Monday the opposition will soon table its annual private member’s bill calling for the elimination of cor-porate and union dona-tions from provincial campaigns, as has been done in other provinces and at the federal level.

NewsChilliwack RCMP make arrest in attempted murder investigation

The Chilliwack RCMP have made an arrest in an attempted murder investigation that dates back to 2009.

Thir ty-four-year old Chilliwack man Gregor y Hiles is in custody, charged with attempted mur-der, aggravated assault and rob-bery.

On Dec. 23, 2009 police were called to a resi-dence where a 38-year-old woman had been badly beaten. The victim, who allegedly knew Hiles, was taken to hospital and rushed into life-

saving surgery. She eventually recovered.

Meanwhile, the RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit joined forces with the E Division

Major Crimes Interview Team. Over five years they gathered evidence which allegedly point-ed to Hiles.

Last Wednesday police finally made their move.

“This case speaks to the RCMP’s commitment and dedication to solving histori-cal cases,” said Staff Sgt. Sukh Parmar.

“In any crime, it is important for our of ficers to determine who is respon-sible and hold them account-able. We hope that this latest development will bring

some measure of comfort to the victim.”

Hiles had a court appearance Tuesday.

Four years aheadDespite calls for sweeping change, both by some of the candidates

and in online discussions, there was little of that Saturday evening.Of the 14 people who make up city council and the board of educa-

tion, only three will be new.Indeed, all but one incumbent failed to win re-election.There had been a determined effort in some quarters to oust the

incumbents for a variety of perceived sins; one candidate even posed with a broom in front of City Hall, calling for a “clean sweep.” They were accused of neglecting the downtown, failing to stop crime, failing to support public education, failing to protect the environment.

But when the votes were counted Saturday evening, that anger and online vitriol did not translate into change.

So is that an affirmation of the work done by these two elected bod-ies over the past three years?

It is certainly tempting to think so.But only to a point. It’s important to remember that, despite a bet-

ter turnout than in 2011, more than 75 per cent of eligible voters did not vote.

Certainly Sharon Gaetz can find satisfaction in her commanding win. But she and the other victors on Saturday night must acknowl-edge that the majority of voters stayed at home.

True, that could mean they’re satisfied with the way things are being done.

However, it could also be that they’ve simply given up; that they believe their vote and their voice has little impact on the course this community will take over the next four years.

Winning back that majority is the challenge for the new council and school board.

The essence of democracy is not only delivering to those who elect-ed you, but listening, engaging and accommodating those who did not.

RAESIDE

VICTORIA – The saddest man-ifestation of British Columbia’s modern democracy has produced its judgment, with the election of school trustees for the next four years.

There are still independent, community-minded trustees, but mostly “boards of education” have become the neglected, exploited stepchild of B.C. politics.

Teacher union locals and CUPE-dominated “labour coun-cils” organize candidate forums and ask most of the questions, often to former teachers holding and seeking school board seats. Unions finance the campaigns of those who pledge to act as a bullhorn for constant demands for more provincial money, and instruct their members to vote for what should be called the Conflict of Interest slate.

This has been going on for so long in B.C. it is seen as normal.

Trustees who most loudly plump for their union masters tend to win, thanks to low turnout. The public mostly doesn’t give a damn,

since school prop-erty tax authority was centralized in Victoria many years ago, largely because of this special interest pressure.

The classic case is in Coquitlam, where one could almost hear the theme from The

Godfather as local CUPE boss Dave Ginter appeared before the board of education in February. He informed the elected trustees that their collective financial acu-men wasn’t up to his standards and some of them would have to go this fall.

“Obviously, the chore I have is

to find new trustees,” Ginter clari-fied in an interview with the Tri-City News as the union’s candidate selection machine stirred to life.

Ginter seems to have made them an offer they couldn’t refuse on Saturday, with formerly union-blessed trustees turfed out in favour of a new group.

Then there’s Vancouver Island, where the 1970s survived, at least until Saturday night. Cowichan school board got itself fired by the province in 2012 for refusing to submit a balanced budget. Two of the trustees who think the job is to flout the balanced budget rule and instead demand a “needs budget” ran again.

They were joined on a slate by two others who apparently still believe the answer to every problem is to shout for “more government funding.” They didn’t get in, as voters appear to have been unimpressed by seeing their

school board replaced by a provin-cially-appointed manager for two years.

That brings up a modest pro-posal. How about an appointed trustee for each of the 60 school districts? School boards have lost authority over taxation, cur-riculum (another area of constant union social engineering pres-sure) and now labour relations. Do we really need them any more?

After the 2013 B.C. election, the Christy Clark government wasted no time taking control of union bargaining on behalf of school districts. Trustees were pushed out of the bargaining agency, no longer trusted to represent tax-payers for that duty either.

The puppet role of some school trustees was evident in the recent teacher strike. When the prov-ince opted to pay parents for the disruption, there was a chorus of protest from those supposedly

elected to represent the interests of parents and taxpayers.

School tax rates are now set by cabinet order, and the B.C. Liberal government is consider-ing a move to regulate local indus-trial taxes. (This would presum-ably be to keep union-influenced municipalities from trying to get too many golden eggs from those liquefied natural gas plants.)

Would Education Minister Peter Fassbender and his team continue their remake by amal-gamating or eliminating school boards? Not likely.

With a rare teacher settlement in place, trustees will have less incentive to grandstand. And their meetings may become something more than union beef sessions.

Accusation called a cheap shot

I was quite amazed that Chilliwack council member Jason Lum would discuss infra-structure in his candidate’s dis-cussion. I expect that what he is referring to is the corridor from Promontory in Sardis to Cultus Lake. So therefore I can con-clude that his observations are purely political rhetoric.

We must face the fact that he has had three years to make this

a concern. The roadways were designed for traffic in 1948 along with the bridge.

Actually the Chilliwack coun-cil has been almost completely non committal, more muted than a jazz trumpeter on this issue. A light election turnout will more than guarantee more of the same for the next three years. Clearly a shakeup is essential particularly to put a stop to their sin of giving

away farm land. Major construc-tion continues despite pleas from residents to the contrary. The consequence is that the conges-tion on numerous Sardis roads continues without abatement.

New blood is needed; same old, same old with a promise of low taxes is absurd in the face of a dire need for modernization.

Jack Kopstein

Thanks to the WeNeedaLaw organiza-tion for displaying so many flags last weekend in our community. This display attested to the 100,000 abortions taking place each year in Canada.

May this display posi-tively affect our communi-ties’ view on human life in all its forms.

Your letter writer of November 14, Doug McKay, (Check the due date before you vote), must have a huge chip on his shoulder. I am assuming this is the same Doug McKay who has been sitting on the school board. If it is, I am shocked and disappointed at his innuendo about a fellow trustee (or maybe a couple of them).

In most circles this type of nameless accusation is not tolerated. His apparent attempt-ed character assassination a couple of days before the elec-tion, without the courage to name names, dates and facts appears to be nothing more than a cheap shot or an attempt to manipulate voters.

Pretty sad commentary by a

trustee who didn’t bother to run in last week’s election and who didn’t have the courage to name names in a pubic forum or in his letter.

No names, no dates, no spe-cifics all equals no credence.

Just as well he’s out of the picture.

Andy Fraser,Chilliwack

In a recent edition of your publication you posed the ques-tion “Do you believe in human caused global warming?”

I was surprised and a little astounded by the result: 42 per cent say no!

Do the no sayers believe that global warming does not exist or if so, that we are not the cause of it?

In the first instance, scien-

tific evidence is clear that global warming is a fact.

That evidence also suggests that human activity is a signifi-cant contributor.

Surely 42 out of 100 people don’t believe it’s all a conspiracy enabling Al Gore to sell more stuff-or whatever.

Lon Fournier

I am not in the habit of writing letters to the editor, but the more I think about what has been bothering me over the last two days, the more I felt to compelled to write.

Late Saturday after-

noon I received a phone call from an individual asking if I had voted yet. I told him that I had. He then told me he was with a group – the progressive group, I think. (I was so flab-bergasted that I can’t

remember the exact name.) He wanted to know if I had voted for their candidates and he named off the can-didates.

By asking me this I felt as if my right to a secret ballot had been

violated.Of course I told him I

was not prepared to tell him who I had voted for and hung up. This was before the polls closed by the way.

pause initially, howev-er, to think that maybe the city “wasn’t march-ing in the same direc-tion” as the people.

“It’s great to see that people truly are proud of their council and showed it by voting the majority of incumbents back into office. The voters have spoken and they have elected some really fine folks to stand with us.”

She said she was sorry to see incum-bent Stewart McLean fail to earn his bid for re-election.

“He was a great councillor and he worked hard on behalf of the city,” she said.

Incumbent Jason Lum was re-elected with the second high-est number of council-lor votes with a total of 7,842, behind newcom-er Sam Waddington who earned the top spot with 8,680 votes.

Lum said it was

surprising to see Waddington skyrocket to the top of the polls the way he did, but pegged him as a guy who is ready to work hard for council.

At the Chilliwack Board of Education, meanwhile, there will

be one new face.Paul McManus com-

fortably won a seat on the board.

He’ll be joined by all six incumbents seek-ing re-election: Dan Coulter, Silvia Dyck, Walt Krahn, Heather Maahs, Barry Neufeld

and Martha Wiens.Doug McKay did

not run.At the Cultus Lake

Park Board, Darcy Bauer and David Renwick easily won the two seats Chilliwack voters had a say in.

Voter turnout this year edged past the dismal results from 2011, when only 14.6 per cent of eligible vot-ers cast ballots.

This year a 12,921 people voted (not including advanced and special polling stations) – or 20.6 per cent of the estimated 62,862 eligible voters.

News

Taryn Dixon will be the first director of the newly created Area H in the Fraser Valley Region District.

The area, which encompasses the Columbia Valley outside of Cultus Lake Park, was split from Electoral Area B that included Columbia River Valley.

Dixon garnered 171 votes overall, beating Maxwell Newhouse, who earned 131.

Finishing third was Rolf Soth with 109 votes.

In Area B, mean-while, Dennis Adamson was acclaimed, as was Bill Dickey in Electoral Area D.

It’s a first for Chilliwack, when Jon Brooks plays Chilliwack Nov. 21.

A songwriter dedicated to uniting folksong tradition with today’s stories, Brooks has an uncanny ability to press his ear to the heart and soul of the times we live in. He’s been compared to Steve Earle and Bruce Cockburn with his honest, gritty vocal delivery and his straight-shoot-ing political songwriting. In only four years, he has been nomi-nated twice for a Canadian Folk Music Award “Songwriter of the Year”, been profiled on CBC’s The National and took home the U.S. Mountain Stage New Song contest. His latest disc, Delicate Cages, aims to reveal the com-plicit natures of good and evil, love and fear, and freedom and imprisonment.

Jon Brooks, makes his Chilliwack debut on Friday, November 21 upstairs at Bozzini’s. Doors 8 p.m. show at 9:30. Tickets $15 at Bozzini’s or call 604-792-0744

It’s officially autumn, and that means chefs are looking to the fall harvest for inspiration.

For Jonathon Gee, executive chef for Pretty Estates Resort, that means taking advantage of all the wonderful foods that surround us. “The pumpkins and squash are fantastic,” he said, and they come from a place called Hole in the Clouds, just across from the resort on the Harrison River. For their salmon, Pretty Estates has partnered with Sts’ailes and Scowltiz communities and fishers to bring local salmon directly to the plate. “We’ve got a bounty of all the local ingredients around us,” Gee said. “We

really want to support everyone who is around us.” With the best, freshest ingredients on hand, along with Gee’s love of creating comforting dishes, the fall menu is divine. “With this menu, I really went back to the classics,” he said. The bistro-style menu features dishes like Salmon Wellington and Beef Bourguignon. Customers are loving the salmon, delicately wrapped in a puff pastry, topped with a lemon dill cream. Each entrée has had a wine selected for the perfect pairing, too. For the salmon, you may like the Chaberton Bacchus, for example. With the beef, perhaps the Amancaya Malbec.

But it takes even more than great ingredients and beautiful presentation to keep a restaurant top-of-mind for diners. It takes hard work. “That’s number one,” Gee said. “A lot of it is just staying true to what you believe in.” Gee grew up in Rosedale, and graduated from Chilliwack Senior where he studied under Chef Reece. That included a one-year apprenticeship. He eventually earned the Red Seal certificate and worked many years as one of the chef’s at another large resort. But he knew from a very young age that he wanted to be a chef. “I used to make dinners for my mom

when she came home from work,” he said, learning how to put together Ukrainian dishes under the direction of his grandma. “I always knew I wanted to be a chef,” he said. Working so close to where he grew up was an easy choice. And the scenery from Rivers Edge is the perfect pairing to Gee’s classic menu, with the river flowing by and colours of the leaves turning to deep reds and warm oranges. “You couldn’t ask for a better backdrop,” he said. Open seven days a week. For more information visit www.prettyestateresort.com

‘Tis the season to be festive, and that usually means stringing up hundreds of twinkling lights to create a welcoming glow on dark winter nights. Some people view the holiday season as their chance to go all out with regard to decorating their homes with an abundance of lights, inflatable lawn ornaments and maybe even some mechanical figures.

While these decorations certainly may be symbols of the season, it’s easy to forget just how much energy and resources they consume. A typical strand of lights uses around 300 watts of electricity. Multiply those figures by the dozens of strings of lights people use and it’s easy to see how quickly energy usage can add up.

In addition to lights, lit candles, ani-mated dolls, wreaths, trees, and scores of imported ornaments contribute to the energy consumption per household. Even so, environmentally conscious individuals need not skip the holiday décor and enter-taining. Fortunately, there are various ways to be energy efficient with holiday décor this season.

• Switch to LED lights. LED lights con-sume a fraction of the energy traditional incandescent bulbs do. While a standard string of 50 lights consumes 300 watts, LED sets only consume four watts. This not only saves energy, but also consider-able amounts of money over the course

of the holiday season.

• Use fiber-optic decorations. Fiber optic

items are lit by one light. The illumina-

tion carries through the fiber optic

cables to the entire decoration.

• Use a power strip and timer. Plug deco-

rations into a power strip (be sure to

follow the recommended power load

for safety) and hook everything up to a

timer so lights are not on when no one

can see them.

• Check light strands. Always inspect lights

for frayed wires and any damage. Frayed

lights are less efficient and pose a con-

siderable safety risk.

• Enhance decorations. Use mirrors and

reflective ornaments to give the appear-

ance of more lights without actually

adding more.

• Turn off ambient lighting. Christmas

tree lights or the lights framing a picture

window should be sufficient to light up

a room. Keep lamps and overhead light-

ing off while the tree is lit to save money

and energy.

• Lower the thermostat. When enter-

taining, turn the thermostat down a

few degrees. Having extra people in

your home will raise the temperature.

Similarly, heat generated by the oven

and other cooking appliances can warm

up a home. Don’t waste energy by keep-ing the heat turned on high.

• Invest in rechargeable batteries. According to Energy Quest, 40 percent of all batteries are purchased during the holiday season. To power those many gifts and devices, use rechargeable bat-teries which can be used again and again.

• Change your cooking practices. Smaller appliances use less energy. Put those toaster ovens, slow cookers and electric fryers to good use. Only use the oven if you are cooking a large meal.

• Wait until the dishwasher is full. Pack in the dishes from holiday meals, and only run the dishwasher when it is full.

• Reuse items when-ever possible. Many items around the house can be put to good use as decorations, holiday servers or gifts. Take inventory of what you have before you go out and purchase new decorations.

The holiday season has arrived, and millions of peo-ple across the globe will be celebrating Christmas with their families and friends. The following are some interesting tidbits to share with your loved ones this holiday season.

• Each year, more than three billion Christmas cards are sent

• In 350 AD, Pope Julius I, bishop of Rome, pro-claimed December 25 the official celebration date for the birth of Jesus Christ. Many historians and theologians have surmised that Christ really wasn’t born this time of year, thanks to imagery and information from the Bible.

• Christmas carols began as an English custom called “wassailing.” Individuals toasted neighbours to a long and healthy life.

• Despite the common tale that three wise men paid homage to baby Jesus, the Bible never specifi-cally calls out a number. Similarly, there’s no specific indication that they visited the infant Jesus. Their visit may have

occurred when Jesus was older.

• Santa Claus’ modern look was inspired by writings from The Knickerbockers of New York and imag-ery from Clement Clarke Moore’s “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Moore denied authoring the famous poem for 15 years after it was published anony-mously, feeling the poem was beneath his talents.

• Santa has his ownofficial postal code.It’s H0 H0 H0.

• The song “Jingle Bells” was originally written for Thanksgiving and not Christmas. People loved it so much that the lyr-ics were changed to fit Christmas.

• Christmas trees typically grow for 15 years before they’re cut and sold. This means the trees sold today were likely planted in 1999.

• Before turkey, the tra-ditional Christmas meal served in England was a pig’s head and mustard.

• Male reindeer tend to shed their antlers in the winter. This means

Santa’s reindeer are likely female.

• Christ may have been born in a cave rather than a manger. According to the gospel of Luke, the shepherds that helped find shelter for Mary to give birth kept their flock in a cave. The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is built over a cave called the Grotto of the Nativity, where Jesus is believed to have been born.

• Many people may be less inclined to stand under mistletoe waiting for a kiss if they knew what “mistletoe” means in the ancient Germanic lan-guage. It literally means “dung on a twig,” for the bird who eats the berries and then leaves seeds in droppings to propagate new plants.

• Each holiday season, PNC Wealth Management calculates the costs of the gifts in the song, “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The price index for the gifts went from $12,673 in 1984 to more than $24,000 in 2011. The most expensive gift is the swimming swans.

Between decking the halls, visiting family and attending holiday parties, it may seem like there is little time to maintain a workout

routine during the holiday season. While the holiday season is an especially

busy time of year, men and women who plan and stay

dedicated to their rou-tines do not need to

let their health fall by the wayside until January.

Several studies show that people can gain anywhere

from one pound to a few pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Although that might not seem like a lot of weight, a report in The New England Journal of Medicine noted that many people never lose the weight they put on during the holidays.

Those who struggle to keep the weight off understand the importance of maintain-ing both a consistent fitness schedule and healthy eating habits. This may be challeng-ing when the rich foods and parties synony-mous with the holiday season are around to threaten healthy habits. Here’s how to stay on course.

• Establish a regular exercise date. Treat exercise as any other obligation on the cal-endar. Make it a necessity and not a luxury. Schedule time for workouts, even if it means removing something else from your agenda.

• Don’t worry about the length of your workouts. If you’re accustomed to an hour-

long workout but cannot fit in more than 20 minutes on some days, don’t skip the workout simply because it’s shorter. Make the most of that time by targeting larger, core muscles.

• Change your schedule. You may need to alter your daily schedule to fit in gym work-outs or other exercise. Try getting up earlier and heading out prior to work or school. This will open up time throughout the rest of your day, and you can use that time to meet the demands of the holiday season.

• Get a trainer or a workout buddy. It’s far easier to blow off a workout when you go it alone. However, if you have a workout partner who is counting on you and vice versa, you may be less inclined to miss a workout — even when you’re not especially motivated to hit the gym.

• Try new activities. Workouts need not be limited to exercises in the gym. Plenty of activities work the body and burn calories. Sledding, ice skating, skiing, and snow-boarding are just a few winter sports that can help you stay in shape.

• Choose a hotel with a pool or gym. If holiday travel is on your itinerary, select a hotel that has fitness equipment. This way you can keep up with your routine. Even swimming a few laps in an indoor pool can provide a cardiovascular workout while you’re on vacation. Remember, it only takes a two-week break from exercise to experi-ence a fitness regression, and you will only have to work harder to get back to your

current fitness level if you let exercise slide too long.

• Add short, high-intensity exercises. Burn more calories in less time with high-intensity workouts. This way you won’t need to schedule as much time for workouts but will still get the benefit of exercise.

• Transform chores into exercise opportuni-ties. See that vacuum cleaner, rake or broom as a piece of exercise equipment. While cleaning up for holiday company, turn on the radio and get your heart pumping, too. Do leg raises while you’re preparing meals or do some pushups off of the kitchen counter.

• Use your bodyweight. Even if you can’t make it to the gym, rely on your own body resistance for a thorough workout. Pushups, squats, burpees, mountain climbers, jump-ing rope, and lunges are some exercises that rely on bodyweight for effectiveness.

• Periodically exercise during the day. If you have a few free moments here and there during the day, use these opportunities to exercise. By the end of the day, you may find you squeezed in an entire workout’s worth of exercise over the course of several 10-minute intervals.

Exercise and fitness do not have to play second fiddle to other holiday activities. Make time for workouts, and you will be ahead of the game come the new year.

Millions of people fly the friendly skies, ride the rails or hit the highway come the holiday season. Such travel can be both expen-sive & stressful. But holiday travel need not be so costly or tense. The following are a handful of tips to help travellers enjoy successful & stress-free travel this holiday season.

• Reserve early. Fares only rise as the holidays draw closer. It’s unlikely you will score a last-minute deal by waiting until the last minute to book holiday travel, as discount fares are largely a thing of past. If your travel schedule is inflexible, book as early as pos-sible. You might be able to save some money if you have some flexibility with regard to your travel schedule.

• Fly on the holiday. Very often flying on popu-lar holidays, including Thanksgiving & Christmas Day, is less expensive than flying on the surrounding

days. If your goal is to save money & you don’t mind showing up on the holiday itself, then flying on the holiday may earn you the most savings.

• Book a business hotel. Hotels that cater to busi-ness clientele in big cities often reduce their rates during the holidays, when business travel tends to wane.

• Consider flying into & out of smaller airports. What they lack in size, num-ber of flights & modern comforts, smaller airports can make up for in fewer

delays & smaller crowds. Flying into & out of a smaller airport may be especially advantageous if such an airport is closer to your home or final des-tination.

• Get pre-screened security clearance. The TSA Pre-Check Program enables some people to move quickly through security checkpoints. This can help save a considerable amount of time. Visit www.tsa.gov to learn who qualifies.

• Do not wrap gifts prior to traveling.

Many parents fondly recall their first holiday season as a mom & dad. While youngsters may not remember much about their first Thanksgiving dinner with family or where their first Christmas present was placed under the tree, parents tend to cherish such memories, making their first holidays with children in tow very memorable.

Loved ones of new parents can take steps to make this holiday season even more special. The following are some gift ideas for holiday shoppers who want to make this season even more memorable for the proud new parents in their lives.

• Photo album: Today’s new parents have more pictures & video of their bundles of joy than any previ-ous generation of moms & dads, as smartphones, tablets & other devices have made taking pictures much easier than in years past & are always close at hand. But family members also have more access to such photos than ever before, mak-ing it easy to put together a special photo album of the new parents & their new child. Pull pictures from the parents’ social media accounts or make an album of the numerous photos you have no doubt received since your loved ones became par-ents. Parents likely don’t have time to make albums, so your efforts will almost certainly be appreciated.

• Camcorder: Many smartphones are capable of taking video, but such

devices are not ideal for shooting longer home videos new parents will want to watch for years to come. An HD camcorder with suf-ficient internal flash memory can allow new parents to take longer, higher quality videos with superior audio to those that are shot on smartphones. Such a camcorder may be costly for those shopping on a strict budget, but it’s a gift new parents are sure to love & uti-lize for years to come.

• Nursery sound system: New parents are no doubt anxiously anticipating the day when the newest addi-tions to their households sleep through the night. Help speed up the arrival of that glorious night with a nursery sound system that provides soothing sounds to create a perfect sleeping environment for newly born boys & girls. The results may not arrive overnight, but par-

ents may soon find their loveable youngster is spending more of the wee hours of the morning sleeping & less time waking up mom & dad.

• Spa treatment: Not every gift you buy for the new parents in your life needs to focus on helping them cherish their first holiday season as parents. New parents tend to expe-rience lots of exhaustion in their first few months on the job, but a spa treatment can be just the relax-ing break they need from catering to their bundle of joys’ every need. Moms may prefer the full spa treat-ment, while dads may simply want a massage & some relaxing time in the steam room. Book a treatment for both mom & dad so they can spend some time relaxing during this hectic time of year. And then YOU can do the babysitting & make your own memories!

“Jennifer Long is a biology and ecotour-ism teacher at Sardis Secondary School in Chilliwack, and has also spent time working at an environmental school in the Cloud Forest of Costa Rica. She has organized student trips to Mexico, China, and Costa Rica, and she seeks to infuse her lessons with con-cepts learned from liv-

ing abroad, helping to inspire a new generation

of environmen-tally aware biologists and world travellers.” This short bio is how National Geographic described Jenn last year, when they presented her with the honour of becom-ing a Grosvenor Teacher Fellow.

Part of this process will see Jenn traveling to Antarctica, observing

and experiencing all that she can, to bring this unique experience back into the classroom in Chilliwack.

I recently had the privilege of being invited by Jenn to speak to her Eco Tourism class about some of my travel experi-ences, and the tourism industry in Chilliwack. I do love when I get the opportunity to talk with a room full of high school students, as there is no other group that will radiate the same level of energy and enthusiasm. Her class was bubbling with excitement as the slideshow rolled through photos of white sand beaches in the South Pacific Islands, moun-tains in Macedonia, and straw and mud huts in Sahel West Africa.

As I began to relate my experiences travel-ing, to how I ended up in Chilliwack, and why I seem to love this place so much, the questions started to rattle off of their tongues.

I suppose when most

high school students dream of life after gradu-ation, remaining in their home town is far from the top of the list of must-do’s. This, however, is not a uniquely Chilliwack sentiment. I believe that most of us have an insa-tiable wanderlust at 17, and the simple thought of leaving where you are from in the hopes of finding something better, has always had a roman-tic air to it.

I told them my story, that I had similar senti-ments when I graduated high school, and of the travels that ensured afterwards. I also talked about how these experi-ences shifted my per-spective on Chilliwack and how I began to view this place differently each time I came home.

The students were excited as we progressed to talking about our local tourism industry and of the multitude of untapped opportunities that Chilliwack has. We spoke about the exist-ing fishing and rafting industries and how we might offer something different in addition to these attractions. Talks progressed to ziplines and horseback tours, heli-skiing and First

Nations culture; all of which remain largely undone anywhere in the Lower Mainland.

After my presentation students came to ask me questions about travel and experiences, about my business and about tourism. The bell rang and the students packed up their books, and the room emptied. Two students remained until all the others had gone and they finally came up to ask me some more pointed questions. They asked why Chilliwack didn’t seem to have much going on for young people, why it felt like there was nothing fun to do much of the time. I must admit that this is a sentiment that I have heard from Chilliwack’s youth before and so I asked them what they would like to see. They said that they saw a real-ly cool park in Langley that had a climbing wall in it. That it would be so neat if they could help make something like that happen in Chilliwack, although, they admitted, they didn’t know where to start. I asked them to go out and do some homework on the park in Langley, try to figure out

Licensed since May 1980, I have been a part of the many changes Chilliwack has undergone.

The Real Estate profession during that time has also undergone many changes. The introduction of Disclosure and Agency.

Disclosure took all the uncertainty away. Simply put, disclose all things known to all parties involved.

Agency, a clear understanding of the relationship you are entering into with your Realtor!

I now enter my senior years as a Realtor, with my knowledge and experience I bring added value to the process of preparing you to make a well informed decision whether you are buying or selling.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the largest and longest running blanket drive in the Lower Mainland. Over two decades, the REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive has helped bring warmth to more than 250,000 residents across the Lower Mainland.

From November 17 to 24, 2014, REALTORS® across the region will work with their clients to coordinate donations of blankets, sleeping bags, coats, gloves, hats, warm winter clothing and NEW socks and underwear for those most in need. The donations are then sorted and delivered to charities and organizations in the same area in which they were collected.

In Chilliwack recipients are Ruth and Naomi’s and the newly opened Cyrus Centre; Agassiz and Harrison area donate to the Agassiz Community Services while the Hope area donates to the Joshua Project.

‘This program has helped and continues to help the homeless and working poor living in our communities”’ says Jake Siemens, Chilliwack & District Real Estate Board President. “In a perfect world, the need for this type of program wouldn’t exist, but we

know there are many in our local communities who need our support, so we ask that with our collective efforts, we work to bring warmth to those in need”.

As the cold, wet weather is already upon us, your support will help tremendously. Everything is accepted and greatly appreciated.

Special REALTORS CARE® Blanket Drive donation bags are available at any of the participating real estate offices, or feel free to use your own. Local REALTORS® collect your donations and deliver them to the charities within the community in which they are donated.

Drop off your donation at any real estate office below between November 17 and November 24, 2014, or contact your local REALTOR® to make arrangements for your donation.

“What diet do I need to optimize my health?”Good Question! First of all, thinking you need to GO on a diet for improved health has been proven in research to be unsuccessful in the long term, and can even be detrimental to your health. Making healthy food and positive lifestyle changes, as a way of life, is the only guaranteed way to optimize your health.

Sharon FastB.Sc., DIET, METSRegistered Dietitian

Nutritional Fix

11/14W_FVP12

www.fraservalleyphysio.comVisit our website at:

As a registered Dietitian I can help you navigate the confusion of what is healthy and what is not. The good thing is you don’t have to count calories, eat food that tastes like cardboard, or feel deprived and hungry. The focus is on nourishing your body with foods that provide the nutrients your body needs to function optimally. When you do that you will find that your energy levels will remain stable throughout the day, you won’t have sugar cravings in the afternoon and evening, and your body will stop storing fat and start burning it!

What are my top 10 steps to optimize your Health?

1. Make having healthy food choices a lifestyle - this is not a diet, not a short-term fix: it’s a way of life!2. Get organized - structure your eating and you will structure your life.3. Don’t deprive yourself! Starving yourself, and eliminating foods you love will eventually lead to binging. Use the 80/20 rule. 80% of the time make healthy food choices and 20% of the time you can enjoy the foods that don’t fit into the healthy category4. Eat Mindfully-Enjoy your food, its one of life’s pleasures! Make your meal special so you appreciate what you have eaten.5. SLOW down! It takes approximately 20 minutes for your brain to know your stomach is full. When you inhale your food, you are not getting the proper signals that you have had enough to eat…and likely are eating more than you need to.6. Watch your portions! It’s the key to managing your overall intake.

7. Avoid added sugar, processed, and refined foods. This is a KEY concept in improving your health. Research is showing it is very beneficial to our long-term health and quality of life to reduce our overall sugar intake.

8. Move it - the combination of exercise and good nutrition will transform your body. Move intentionally every day!

9. Get enough sleep and manage your stress. Both Sleep and Stress play significant roles in our metabolism and overall health. Make getting enough sleep a priority, and look at ways to manage or reduce your stress. You will feel better, and your body will function better.

10. Eat a source of Protein and Fat at each meal and snack to maintain stable blood sugar and promote satiety. This is another key concept in optimizing your health.

Interested in learning more specifics on how to eat to optimize your health?

Chiefs clobbered on Vancouver Island road tripEric J. Welsh,The Progress

They’ve been nearly unbeatable at home this season, but when the Chilliwack Chiefs leave the friendly confines of Prospera Centre they have been quite medio-cre.

The Chiefs are 7-1-0-0 at home and 5-6-0-1 away, coming off a disastrous three-games-in-three-days Vancouver Island swing.

The Chiefs started off in Powell River Friday, absorbing a 6-1 loss at the hands of the Kings.

“Next time we go there, knowing what I know now, we’ll prob-ably travel a bit differ-ently because that is a long day,” said Chiefs head coach Jason Tatarnic, a newcomer to west coast geography. “As it is, it was a 6-1 game but we had our chances to make it a lot closer. We just couldn’t capital-ize, while they made us pay for the mistakes that we made.”

Powell River scored three in the first and three in the third, sand-wiching a second peri-od snipe by Chilliwack’s Kurt Black.

The Chiefs were out-shot 37-31.

“We lost (defence-man Evan) McEachern one shift into the sec-ond period and we were down to four regu-lars and a 15 year old affiliate player (Jarret Tyszka), and I thought we battled hard,” Tatarnic noted.

Goalie Aidan Pelino stopped 25 of 31 shots

and was lifted after the sixth Powell River goal. Backup Tyler Shugrue finished up.

Pelino was back between the pipes Saturday, facing a tough Alberni Valley Bulldog squad at Port Alberni’s Weyerhaeuser Arena. The Ontario native was solid in this one, stop-ping 33 of 36 Bulldog shots.

But Craig Puffer and Jordan Kawaguchi were the only Chiefs lighting the lamp in a 4-2 loss.

“We played a great first two periods, but two mistakes led to two semi-breakaways and both ended up in our net,” Tatarnic said. “We had our chances to tie the game, but couldn’t find the back of the net.

I give our guys credit for that one.”

The Chiefs had two affili-ates dressed for that game ( T y s z k a and Connor Birmingham), but assistant coach Kyle Adams was able to shelter

them effectively. That wasn’t possible the next day against a talented Nanaimo Clippers squad.

Chilliwack was bombed 10-2 in the 2 p.m. start, with the blueliner shortage reaching crisis status. Brandon Tkachuk left the game early and Vinnie Desharnais’s skate malfunction had the Chiefs playing much of the match with Eric Roberts as the only veteran defender.

“We controlled play for the first 17 minutes, and Nanaimo had a lot of trouble with our speed,” Tatarnic said.

“But bang, one mistake and it was in our net off a skate. With 10 seconds left we make another mistake and it’s 2-0. When you play 17 minutes of spectacular hockey and that hap-pens, it was hard to swallow.”

Chilliwack got goals from Tipper Higgins and Rory Bell, but the Clippers went four-for-six on the power play, blitzing the Chiefs with a five-goal second peri-od outburst.

Pelino was pulled after the fifth Nanaimo goal. Shugrue, a 16 year old Burnaby native fill-ing in for the recently traded Mitchell Datz, fared no better, yielding five goals on 16 shots.

“When you lose 2-1, 5-1, 7-1 or 10-2, a loss is a loss,” said Tatarnic, who believes this is the first time one of his teams allowed double-digit goals. “Some people might be dev-astated, but we’re not. What happened Sunday doesn’t determine what happens next.”

Chilliwack comes out of the weekend 12-7-0-1, falling back into the pack after a torrid start.

They’re now five points behind the Prince George Spruce Kings (14-8-0-2) in the Mainland division standings, and only one point up on the third place Langley Rivermen (10-7-1-3).

They’ve lost six of their last eight, heading into a mid-week match-up with the Sprucies. The teams face off tonight (Wednesday) at Prospera Centre with a 7 p.m. start.

Injuries will continue to be a concern against Prince George.

McEachern should be back, but Tatarnic

doesn’t expect Tkachuk, Mark Esposito or Olivier Arseneau to dress.

“This is the tough-est and busiest part of the schedule, and not having bodies doesn’t help,” the coach said. “That’s not an excuse, but it does make things more difficult. It’s not the main reason we lost, but it contributes.”

The Chiefs have two more home games this weekend, hosting Coquitlam Saturday and Salmon Arm Sunday.

Chilliwack native Evan Foster helped his Manitoba Bisons win the Hardy Cup last Saturday.

The Bisons downed the Calgary Dinos 27-15 in the Canada West university foot-ball championship, played at McMahon Stadium in Calgary.

Foster, playing on the defensive line, recorded two solo tackles and a fumble

recovery for the sti-fling Bison D.

Manitoba recov-ered two fumbles and had five interceptions.

The Bison ros-ter includes several Chilliwackians.

Nick Westad (W.J. Mouat) is a second year defensive line-man.

Brandon Barrat (W.J. Mouat) is a first-year linebacker and GW Graham grad

Eric J. Welsh,The Progress

Chilliwack lacrosse star Brydan Heisler is heading to the land of Lebron this fall, signing on at Walsh University.

The Canton, OH.

based school will be Heisler’s NCAA home as he joins the fledgling division-two Cavaliers.

“It’s a third-year program and they’re already good enough to be in the middle of the pack in the ECAC (East Coast Athletic Conference),” Heisler

said. “New teams usual-ly stay near the bottom for a while, but they’ve gotten good quick.”

Heisler, a 17 year old currently finishing up his last year at Sardis secondary school, spent a year and a half talking with head coach Alex Skvarch and his staff.

Heisler was interest-ed in two other schools, and they were interest-ed in him.

Wheeling Jesuit University, in West Virginia, and Rockhurst University in Kansas City (Missouri) were his other options.

“But the Walsh

coaches made the difference,” he said. “Every time I met with them they seemed like exceptional guys, dedi-cated and determined to make their program better.”

“One thing I really like was when they said they won’t guarantee starting time,” he con-tinued. “I appreciated the honesty and I will appreciate the even playing field.”

Heisler star ted lacrosse at four years old, playing in the Chilliwack Mustangs minor system.

He played tier-one field lacrosse in Langley and toured the United States with the Burnaby Mountain Selects.

He was drafted by the junior A Burnaby Lakers and is currently signed with the inter-mediate A Maple Ridge Burrards.

“I think I’m a role player and the type of guy who does what the team needs,” he said. “I’m a passer, maybe too much. I don’t shoot too much, but I think I’m good for about a goal per game.”

Brydan is the second Heisler sibling to net an NCAA deal.

Big sister Ashley Heisler is in her sopho-more season at Buffalo based Canisius College, just a short three hour trip from Brydan’s new home.

“When Ashley went to Buffalo, that’s when I really started think-ing about how lacrosse could get me an edu-cation,” Heisler said. “Watching her go through the recruit-ment process taught me how the system works and how hard it is to go

through it.”The teenager learned

to be prepared for a lot of rejection before find-ing acceptance.

“Some schools came to me after seeing me in a tournament, or I emailed them,” he said. “Sometimes I found that a school wasn’t the right fit for me, and some-times they told me they didn’t think I’d be a good fit for them.”

“The big thing was making sure wherev-er I went was a good school,” he added. “I know I’m not going to make millions playing lacrosse.”

Being thousands of kilometres from home will be different, but Heisler said he’s pre-pared for the transition.

“Another thing that’s nice about Walsh University is being clos-er to my sister, which will help,” he said. “It is going to be weird being away from home, for sure. But even though I love BC, I’ve also travelled a lot with the Burnaby Mountain Selects, and I feel I’m ready.”

The Walsh Cavaliers start their exhibition slate in early February. Regular season play starts in early March and continues through late April.

479 PETS REMEMBERED

34 www.theprogress.com Wednesday, November 19, 2014, The Chilliwack Progress

It is with great sadness and feeling of loss that accompanies a death but with the happiness of knowing you are in the hands of Jesus in paradise. The family wishes to announce the passing of this kind and gentle father, great-grand father and friend to many. Dad passed away in Chilliwack, British Columbia Nov. 4, 2014.

Dad grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia where he met and fell in love with his soul mate, and his iron lady, our mom, Gloria. They were married Nov. 4, 1946 and raised 5 children. Gloria Carpenter of Kincardin, Ontario, Hendrick (Harry) Anderson Jr. of Kentville Nova Scotia, Gregory (Joanne) Anderson of Edmonton, Alberta, Michael (Debbie) Anderson of Edmonton Alberta and Stephanie (Bud) Casey of Chilliwack, BC. Their family blossomed into 18 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.

Dad was a proud Canadian and served in World War II, where he was wounded. He had a long career with the Department of National Defence in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he worked at the boiler plants as an engineer. Mom and Dad moved to Chilliwack, BC in 2004 to live with the youngest of their 5 children Stephanie and Bud and their growing family. Unfortunately mom passed away only 3 months after moving to BC. This was a defi nite loss for all of us but especially for our dad. He cared for our mom for the 58 years they were together. He truly missed mom every day since. Dad touched so many people in his 89 years of life, it would be impossible to count how many. He never wanted to see anyone in need of anything and

was very generous that way. His most fun was making people laugh. He always enjoyed talking to people.

A celebration of life will be on Monday, Nov 24, 2014 at 11am. It will be held at St. Thomas Anglican Church, Gore Ave., Chilliwack. There will be a time of refreshments and remembrance following at the church hall for anyone who wishes to come, especially to anyone whose life dad touched.

Interment will take place later that day with the family at Vedder View Veterans Cemetery, Chilliwack, BC.

A special thanks goes to our family doctor, Dr. Lisa Legresley who cared for dad all these years and dad respected. A special thank you to Corporal L. Dyston who was very helpful to us at this time. He went way above his call of duty to comfort us and we thank him for his efforts.

Go on Dad with your love, to the place where sadness and pain is no more, into the arms of Jesus. You will never be forgotten but always missed. We will see you soon, love to you both.

ANDERSONHendrick, (Harry-Andy) Edward

July 1, 1925 - Nov. 4, 2014

On Monday, November 10th our family said good bye to their beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother,Thelma Fay Davis, as they sat at her bedside refl ecting about many precious memories of her journey through life on the Davis family farm. Thelma was born and raised in Chilliwack by her parents Robert and Nellie Williams. In 1945, she was married to John Leslie Davis, where she settled into the family tradition of dairy farming and raising her family in the beautiful rural

surroundings of Fairfi eld Island in Chilliwack, B.C.Thelma provided a strong, dedicated and powerful stimulus in her

daily handling of various farm chores, whether it be milking the entire herd, feeding the animals, doing fi eld work or planting an elaborate vegetable garden in that fertile Fairfi eld Island soil. She was a true partner on the farm, in fact, she could manage the entire farming operation on her own.

Thelma’s reputation as a fabulous cook was well known in the Fairfi eld Island and Camp River communities. She always prepared delicious wholesome farm meals for her family and large farm crews, planned elaborate parties for neighbourhood functions, and catered to many community weddings and events as fund raisers for the local Chilliwack General Hospital. Her charitable service with the Davis Ford Circle and the Camp River Ladies Circle will be forever appreciated. Thelma’s grandchildren defi nitely acquired a fondness for grandma’s homemade lemon and pumpkin pies, butter tarts and specialty pastry dainties.

Thelma is predeceased by her parents (Robert and Nellie Williams), her husband (John Leslie Davis) and her sister (Joyce Standeven). She is survived by her daughter, Lorraine Ely (Marvin) and her son, Jack Davis (Colleen). She is survived by her four wonderful grandchildren Clint (Karin), Scott, Chris (Christine) and Jennifer (Steve). Thelma is survived by her six precious great granddaughters (Madeline, Anna, Tenley, Kendra, Ali and Grace). She is also survived by her eldest sister (Doris Gerbrandt) of Calgary, Alberta and many nephews and nieces.

Our family would like to extend our deepest appreciation and thank you to everyone at Red Rock Manor who through their warmth, friendship and care helped our mother enjoy her transition from living in Chilliwack to her new home in Lillooet. We would like to thank a wonderful and caring professional staff at Mountain View Lodge who welcomed our mother into their extended nursing care facility which made her feel like she was part of their family. Our family would like to give a very special thank you to all of our mother’s special friends in Chilliwack who have enriched and blessed her life in so many ways.

Funeral services and a memorial tea will be held on Saturday, November 29, 2014 at 2:00 P.M. at the Rosedale United Church, 51351 Yale Road East, Rosedale, B.C., V0X 1X0.

In lieu of fl owers, a donation to the Lillooet District Hospital Foundation, Mountain View Lodge Auxiliary or the Rosedale United Church is suggested.

Arrangements entrusted to Thompson Valley Funeral Home Ltd., Ashcroft, B.C., 1-800-295-5138. Email condolences and shared memories through Thelma’s obituary at www.tvfh.ca
