The demolition of the historic Paramount Theatre building in downtown Chilliwack earned it a spot on the Heritage Canada Foundations worst losses list for 2013.
The inclusion of the Paramount makes it clear that the loss has impacted more than just the Chilliwack community, said Laura Reid, a member of Friends of the Paramount Theatre.
News of the demolition decision went global with Heritage Canada Foundations recognition the heritage value of the Paramount building by including it on the top 10 endangered list for 2012 as well as the worst losses for 2013.
When no proposal with enough financial backing came forward, city council voted last year to demolish the historic building.
Now Reid said she wondered if city officials had been presented last summer with a Statement of Significance on the heritage value of the Paramount, would they have accepted the gift from Landmark Cinemas, and then went ahead with demolition plans?
The lack of a Community Heritage Commission may have also played a part in the theatres demise," said Reid.
Members of the Friends of the Chilliwack Paramount group, which later became the Chilliwack Paramount Film Society, tried to respond to the citys Request for Proposals with a proposal to run the building as a repertory-style theatre.
Instead council voted to demolish, taking Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporations (CEPCO) up on its offer to demolish the building at no cost, in a vote of 6-1.
The city went through two RFP processes, and when neither one produced a viable proposal from a business point of view, its future was sealed. The building had to undergo asbestos removal before demolition, and was run down.
"The building was demolished and sits as a vacant lot," reads the entry on the Heritage Canada Foundation website. "Luckily of the building's contents went to Chilliwack Museum to be eventually put on display."

Neighbors say they are pleased with the recent demolition of a vacant building at 433 East Third Street in Lexington that had been the subject of complaints.
The Lexington Housing Authority owned the white concrete block building that faced East Third and was across Race Street from Pak'N'Save grocery store.
Last year, the William Wells Brown Neighborhood Association complained to the Louisville office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development about the "unsafe and unkempt" conditions of the building and others owned by the authority. Paint was peeling from the building, and a tree grew out of one wall.
The building became the target for vandals after windows were removed some weeks ago, said Billie Mallory, president of the neighborhood association.
"Police were called several times because people were in there doing damage," Mallory said.
The structure was built in 1951 and had a taxable value of $38,600, according to the Fayette County property valuation administrator's website.
There are no plans to redevelop or use the corner lot, said Austin Simms, executive director of the Lexington Housing Authority.
"We like to refer to it as 'property in the bank,'" Simms said. He was referring to "land-banking," in which authority-owned property is held for future use. "At this point, there are no plans for it."

When Chelsea Prevost , a hair stylist from Evans, tells clients shes going to a demolition derby race, they usually assume its to watch her husband.
Nope, she tells them proudly and with a smirk. I have my own car.
Prevost and dozens of other drivers rammed and slammed their cars to the limit for a piece of a $20,000 purse split between several classes at Sundays Greeley Stampede Demolition Derby. Prevost made it to the finale with her Mickey Mouse-themed car, which finally gave out in the last bout when her transmission cracked and landed her in 6th place in her class.
I love it, said Prevost, already feeling bruises come on from collisions as she helped prep her car to last one more round. I dont want to be in some powder puff. This is the hardest-hitting derby Ive been in.
Prevosts husband, Bobby, is also a driver, but he missed out this year without a car that met this derbys requirements. Prevost said her car, with a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal hanging on for dear life, was decorated for her 18-month-old son, Logan. She also sported a logo for Zacs Legacy Foundation, a Greeley non-profit that raises money for families with kids who have cancer.
Sundays event was just shy of selling out, the stadium echoing with hoots, hollers and sometimes boos from a crowd that nearly filled the stadium. Bill Hall, chairman of the demolition derby, said getting that healthy crowd was the main goal this year.
We used to sell it out, and we havent in a few years, so I wanted to bring it back to that level.
Hall said new rules and new events aimed to spice it up a little bit. For instance, drivers in the demolition derby got a running start with a lap around the track before they could start hitting each other, and a motorcycle barrel race took up some down time between heats. The organization also upped the ante with sticks in the middle of the track worth $100 for the first driver to run over it.
Mark Woodward, The Mile High Mouth, announced the blow-by-blow action of the derby. Woodward, a Longmont motocross rider and gear salesman by trade, said hes lent his voice to more than 550 events in his 30-year career.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) July 08, 2013
What do you think would be the hardest part of starting your own small business? The risk? The start-up capital? Hiring employees? Those are all reasonable choices, but according to the owner of Green Home Carpet Cleaning in Las Vegas, who opened his doors in 2010, the most challenging part of starting his carpet cleaning company has been to compete with other carpet cleaning companies that engage in the age-old unethical practice of "bait-and-switch." Apparently, the carpet cleaning industry is rife with companies that advertise rock-bottom prices or present low-ball estimates only to inflate the final cost to the consumer.
Green Home Carpet Cleaners in Las Vegas is working hard to bring ethics back to the carpet, tile and upholstery cleaning industry by promoting awareness of these bait-and-switch tactics and by warning consumers that when a price looks too good to be true, it most likely is.
At Green Home Carpet Cleaning, every customer gets a verbal price quote guarantee with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and in the carpet cleaning business, this is a rare practice. Green Home Carpet Cleaning feels that offering these perks is well worth it because they believe that when a job is done properly the first time and when there is open and honest communication between the company and the consumer, there is very little to worry about.
Green Home Carpet Cleaning wants to be fair and acknowledge that not all carpet cleaning services in Las Vegas purposefully mislead consumers. They explain that some companies simply do not carefully assess the job beforehand but this is what separates the pros from the amateurs. Green Home Carpet Cleaning may not have been practicing for as many years as some other companies, but they know their business inside and out. And, if they fail to estimate a job properly, they never pass their mistake on to the consumer.
So, could it be that good, old-fashioned customer service is back in style? Could short-sightedness and the "get-what-you-can-get" attitude be falling by the wayside? It is hard to speak for other companies but it is certainly the case with this Las Vegas Carpet Cleaning Company. They look forward to reminding their clients what honesty and real customer service looks like.
