Two dead following shooting A Chilliwack neighbourhood was woken up by gunshots early Thursday morning. Neighbours in the 46100-block of Gore Avenue heard shots ring out around 4 a.m. One neighbour posting on Facebook says eight shots were fired and said five people took off in a white four-door Mazda hatchback. The Chilliwack RCMP’s Crime Scene Investigation team was first to respond to Hawthorne Manor, followed by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). IHIT has confirmed two people are dead, with a third person injured. Police are calling this a targeted shooting and are asking anyone with info to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448 or email ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. Tips can also be provided anonymously by calling CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

UFV ag program gets $2.1 million boost from the feds Equipment funding will ‘help drive the western Canadian economy,’ says minister of state Katie Bartel The Progress A funding boost Thursday from the federal government has launched UFV into the leading edge of universities for agriculture programs. Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Wester n Economic Diversification, announced $2.1 million in state-of-theart training equipment for the University of the Fraser
Valley’s Agriculture Centre of Excellence. The investment will equip the university for advanced technology in areas of automation and robotics. It will enable students to acquire skills in design, installation and maintenance of advanced automated systems. Not only will it train the next generation of agricultural technicians, engineers, researchers and scientists, said Rempel, it will
also help drive the western Canadian economy. “This investment will provide industry with the skilled workforce it needs to adopt new technologies, ser vices and processes, and ultimately grow the agriculture sector,” said Rempel. In 2012, B.C.’s agrifood sector generated $11.7 billion in revenue and exported $2.5 billion worth of products to more than 130 countries. The province is
targeting $14 billion in revenue by 2017 according to the B.C. Agrifoods strategy for growth. The federal funding will help push that mandate. With the new equipment, UFV is adding new engineering in mechatronics and automation technician programs. “We’ve recognized it’s going to take some advanced methods, advanced equipment, automation, robotics, all those
things, to help keep the industr y competitive and vibrant,” said John English, Dean of UFV Trades and Technology. “We’ve taken the view all along that everything we do at the Centre of Excellence must support the ag industry directly; that it has to be driven by their initiatives, their ambitions, their problems and desires.” The new equipment “allows industry locally to tap into the training and
education, as well as the research that would go with it to make them more competitive and productive,” said English. The funding announcement was the second in a week for UFV’s trades and technology depar tment. Last week, the provincial government announced $872,000 to reduce wait lists into UFV’s trades and technology programs. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Powerful display of culture all weekend Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Spirit of the People Powwow is being resurrected in Chilliwack this weekend with brilliant colours flying at the Tzeachten Sports Field. The goal is to bring the crowds back into the fold, says Gary Abbott, arena director. Once organizers got a good look at the Tzeachten fields on Bailey Road, they knew it would be an ideal location for a traditional powwow. “The grounds at Tzeachten fields are very beautiful and they’re perfect for the dancers. They’ll absorb the shock well.” Next summer the event will grow into a full contest powwow. “The goal this year really is to bring people back to the powwow,” Abbott says. “We’re hoping to have about 3,000 people over the weekend.” Grand Entry is at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 8, features all the dancers in a brilliant display of colour and pride, and runs until Sunday at 5 p.m. Organizers hope the new spot works out in the longterm. “By solidifying this location as a permanent site for the powwow, it enables us to strengthen past and current relationships, while building on new partnerships based on trust, shared cultural identity and a sense of community,” says Louis De Jaeger, corporate liaison Spirit of the People Cultural Society. The plan for this weekend is to feature a number of “specials,” which are prizes for the various pow wow dance categories like the Maxine Prevost Buckskin
Gary Abbott (left) and Louis De Jaeger at the site of the Spirit of the People Powwow at Tzeachten Field. The event takes place this weekend from Aug. 8 to 10. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Memorial, for example, as well as men’s grass or men’s chicken dance categories, and many more. There’s tent camping at the site, and different performances like the Golden Ears Métis Dance Group during the break from the competitions between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. A salmon barbecue, Indian tacos, and Chilliwack corn will be available.
Abbott himself is a Men’s Fancy Dancer, but at this event he’ll be concentrating on keeping things flowing as arena director for the powwow. He directs traffic from the floor as arena director. “I have to keep it all moving. I learned how to do that from my dad (former Lt. Gov. Steven Point).” That’s part of the longstanding successful history
of the Chilliwack Powwow, first organized by his brother, and later by Point family members and a host of volunteers, Abbott said. It became the Spirit of the People when it was run by the late Maxine Prevost. Organizers picked this weekend specifically for the event, since there weren’t any other pow wows that they knew of scheduled in B.C. or Washington State.
“This weekend there is also the Abbotsford Air Show and the Chilliwack Fair set to go ahead, but I think we will still get a good crowd.” Host Drum Eya Hey Nakoda is from Morley Alberta and MCs are Gerald SittingEagle and Nelson Leon. Admission is $2 per day or $5 for the whole weekend. Grand Entry Friday at
7 p.m., Saturday at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday noon to 6 p.m. The event is drug- and alcohol-free. Questions or for more information, email garyvabbott@live.com or call 604-845-5234. Spirit of the People Powwow, Aug. 8, 9, 10 at Tzeachten Sports Field at 46770 Bailey Road. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno
Locked gate to keep the peace at Soowahlie Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A locked gate had to be installed on a private road near Cultus Lake recently for the safety and security of the community, says the chief of Soowahlie First Nation. Sweltzer Creek Crescent is a gravel road, which eventually ends up near the Vedder bridge after snaking through the Soowahlie reserve. The road has a 30 kilo-

metre per hour speed limit, which is often ignored, after a motorist turns off Columbia Valley Highway. The road also has a long history of being used as a back road shortcut by people who are trespassing, without realizing it. Some may not be aware it is in fact a private road with a security gate which can now be locked, said Soowahlie Chief Brenda Wallace. The challenge is that the roads through Soowahlie are often
overrun by speeders, and drivers who want a shortcut to get to the Vedder Bridge to avoid the traffic — or a police roadblock. Chief Wallace said they decided as a band council to install a locked gate on the Cultus side of their road. “We did it for the privacy and protection of our families and children,” said Chief Wallace. “People were not respecting the speed limit.”
Speeds of 50 to 80 km/hr along the gravel road were not uncommon, before they put the gate in. “It’s been going on for as long as I can remember,” she said. Those who tried to take the back roads over the recent B.C. Day long weekend were disappointed to find the gate locked and traffic cut off from access to the Soowahlie roads that go through the reserve. “The gate will only be locked on
weekends, and some weeknights after 4 p.m. during the summer,” Chief Wallace said. “We looked at the situation and decided to go with a gate.” The chief said she has personally had aggressive drivers tailgating her, speeding toward her or trying to pass her on the road. “Every summer we get a lot of people taking our road to try to Continued: SOOWAHLIE/ p14

Impacts of mining spill unknown Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Crash sends one woman to hospital One person has been taken to hospital after a twovehicle crash at Yale Road and Spadina Avenue. A witness says the driver of a white four-door Mazda Protege ran a red light and
hit the front left side of a red Dodge Durango SUV. The front of the Protege was caved in and the driver-side airbag inflated. Emergency responders got the female driver loaded onto
a stretcher and took her away in an ambulance. The driver of the SUV was treated at the scene and appeared to be unharmed. Her truck ended up on the sidewalk, and it’s fortunate
no one else was hurt. There’s a bus-stop within 15 feet of where the truck came to rest, and at a different time of day that section of sidewalk would have been busier.
Fires caused by careless disposal of cigarette butts The Chilliwack Fire Department is reminding the public to be careful about where they toss cigarette butts. Crews have responded to more than 35 bark-mulch fires so far this year, most caused by motorists who discard their cigarettes while waiting at traffic lights. Road medians, grass shoulders and
do not allow for the burning of wood or similar materials within Chilliwack city boundaries. Charcoal, gas-fired or electric grills used for cooking are permitted, along with gas fireplaces and outdoor heaters. Get more details online at chilliwack. com/fire.
ditches are the starting spots for many small fires that ignite easily and spread rapidly in windy conditions. A small blaze can quickly grow to threaten nearby buildings. The Fire Department has also been busy responding to backyard fires. Right now, open-air burning regulations

Potential impacts on Fraser sockeye as a result of a massive mining disaster up north are not known at this time, said an official with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. A local state of emergency was called in the Cariboo after a massive spill from the tailings pond was reported at Imperial Metals’ copper and gold mine in Likely, B.C. “Sockeye are currently migrating towards the Quesnel Lake system,” DFO spokesperson Michelle Imbeau wrote in an email to The Progress this week, responding to questions about local impacts. Officials with Fisheries and Oceans Canada will be “closely monitoring the salmon run as it approaches the Quesnel system over the coming days to assess the potential effects of these pollutants and other factors,” including water temperature and other in-river conditions. Provincial Ministry of Environment staff did water testing to determine the full extent of the breach. Water samples were taken to see if they contain metals, nitrates and sulphates. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

The provincial government’s offer to pay families of schoolaged children $40 a day if the current contract impasse with teachers carries into the fall is just another example of the deepseated enmity between the two sides that stands between a settlement. On the surface it seems like a good deal; roll the money the government isn’t paying teachers if they’re on strike straight over to parents to ease their financial burden of making alternate arrangements for minding their kids. But it’s also another shot across the bow of the teachers, a cynical jab that equates their duties with little more than institutional daycare. Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s announcement of the program last Thursday was short on details. He said families of the province’s 300,000 children up to age 12 who attend public schools would have to register for the compensation. He didn’t say where those 300,000 children could go if they still can’t attend school come September. As anyone who has ever tried to find daycare knows, 300,000 spots aren’t going to be created in five weeks. Nor will $40 go very far to compensate a parent who has to stay home from work to mind their child. And while de Jong boasted the program would have no net cost to the government, what about the cost of implementing it? A bureaucracy created in five weeks to design the registration system, vet applicants and dole out the money won’t come cheaply. Educating our children is worth more than $40 a day. Those children deserve better than to be treated as ammunition in this senseless trench war between adults who should know better. — Burnaby NewsLeader

A war so sadly commemorated 100 years later In our family photo album is a picture of my mom just a few months old sitting on her mother’s knee. Next to them is mom’s brother, John. It’s one of those sepia-toned Victorian style photos where everyone is formally dressed and staring stone-faced at the camera. Missing from the family photo is mom’s dad, my grandfather. But this was 1916. The First World War had raged for two bloodied years. And “Pop” was fighting in the four-month long Battle of the Somme, considered one of humanity’s bloodiest battles in which more than one million men were injured, killed or who went missing (Britain 420,000, France 200,000 and Germany 500,000). It was known as the battle of a lost generation of young soldiers. But Pop would return to fight anoth-
er day once his injured shoulder had healed. As the world paused to remember the start of the First World War earlier this week, thousands of famiMargaret lies reflected on EVANS those old wartime photos and those who were missing from the portraits. Many in 1914 thought the fighting would be over by Christmas. Not much chance of that as allies hit the deck running with the first battle of war — the Battle of Liege in Belgium — underway Aug. 5. Family friends, George and Harry Smith, signed up for the cavalry and would endure the horrors of the trenches, the stench
of rotting bodies seared into their brains, the agonizing screams of comrades. Somewhere in a farmer’s field in France lie the bones of my husband’s granduncle who lost his life in a German attack and whose body was never recovered. Alongside humans, horses, mules, donkeys, dogs, cats, and pigeons went to war. In service to allies and enemies alike, dogs were scouts, trench sentries, messengers and ambulance workers. Their legendary forewarning growls of danger saved the lives of thousands. Horses trudged the front lines and the endless supply routes, dying from explosions, artillery fire, poison gases, engulfing mud, exhaustion, disease, parasites and starvation. In 1917, a gunner watched as a grief-stricken driver of an ammunition wagon reacted when a

shell killed his horse. The gunner rushed to help remove the harness. But the driver, in shock, just knelt by his animal staring at him in disbelief. Screaming his anger at the enemy, he was at breaking point. The brigadier ordered him down the line for a day’s rest, commenting that if everyone was like the driver who loved animals, they’d be all right. As the world was falling apart, there was still compassion in a soldier’s heart for a fallen animal. In a world of endless death, soldiers found solace in any creature that crawled into the trenches – cats, rats, ducks, geese, pigeons, blackbirds, larks and doves. There was Polly, a cream-coloured pony who belonged to the Mountain Battery at Gallipoli. She could hear the whine of a shell long before anyone else and would throw her-
self flat on the ground, stretch out her forelegs and shut her eyes. When the shell had exploded, she would be up and ready for work. Canadian soldier John McRae had gone to war with his horse Bonfire. Among his coping mechanisms were rides through the French country with his dog Bonneau. Beyond the farmers’ fields he saw the barren, pulverized front lines, a chaos of shattered lives and villages. It was May and in the shredded ground poppies were blooming. At some moment in that tragic landscape red poppies symbolized the blood of lost friends. A poem crystallized. In the days that followed he wrote In Flanders Fields, the iconic poem of the war. A photo. A poem. A memory shared. Loves lost. A war so sadly commemorated.

Kids need to go back to school A personal plea to the Ministry of Eduction and the BC Teachers Federation: Quit playing games, get your act together, our kids need to go back to school. I have wanted to write this letter for a number of weeks now, but have had a difficult time finding the appropriate words. And now I am angry! A few weeks ago I was saddened to hear that a former student of mine had passed away. He was only 25 and I am doubtful that his passing was from natural causes. (My sincere, heartfelt sympathies are extended to the family at this time.) Ten years ago another of my students died in the Chilliwack Hospital of unnatural causes. He was about the same age. And so, I am angry! I am angry at the ministry, the government, the teachers union and anyone else who wants to prolong this strike. These two young men had completely opposite backgrounds, but the one thing they had in common was that they both struggled at school. My colleagues and I tried desperately to help them, but to no avail. As young teens they quit our school and tried a different school, only to leave that one as well. They chose their own path and to my
knowledge I don’t think either one graduated. In those days, educational assistants were plentiful and the learning assistance programs were vibrant and active. They provided academic assistance for all children who needed the extra help, whether they had an individual educational plan or not. We all did our very best to supply each and every child with what ever they needed. All it really takes is for one person to be able to connect with that one child and even though they struggle in their current lives, they will eventually succeed as an adult. However, even with all the help that was available in our school at that time, two young adults never got a chance to show the world their inner talents. Despite all of the supports we had, the system still failed these two kids. I shudder to think how difficult it must be in the school system today where cutbacks have made it impossible for schools to provide the support needed for every student to succeed. What will happen to our struggling kids in the near future? Now, semi-retired, I still teach, but in the community as a tutor for struggling young adults who want to get their adult Dogwood.
These are smart, enthusiastic young men and women who want to better themselves and be independent, contributing citizens in our community. The school system has not been kind to them which is why they have chosen to homeschool and hire me as their tutor. They know that in this day and age, in order to even get a job, one needs to graduate from Grade 12. I have five students who are currently slated to graduate this year, not many compared to the local high schools who graduate hundreds, at one time, but these students have worked hard and persevered with alternate learning styles other people will never begin to understand. I feel responsible for these young people and I don’t want to see them knocked down anymore. The current school system has already done a good job of that. So, please, for the sake of our kids, my grandkids and my graduating young adults, do what it takes to settle this strike. Get our kids and young adults back in school so at least they have a fighting chance for success. These kids are our future leaders, we need to recognize the importance of investing in them now.

Creationism and evolution both theories About three weeks ago I addressed the issue of creationism not being equally taught as the theory of evolution, whereby depriving students of the freedom of choice regarding the question of how life originates. Some writers here, contrary to the scientific community, obviously believe that this theory is no longer just that; a theory. The question is not if evolutionary processes generally exist; they obviously do. The question is if the complexity of life we observe today could possibly be the result
of a “Big Bang” (cosmic evolution), followed by the evolution of the most complex life-forms (organic evolution). According to the law of scientific method, for something to be deemed a scientific fact it has to be observable and testable. Finding bones and fossils, and then drawing conclusions, is something entirely different. Darwin said that there would be a change of kinds of species (macro evolution) with observable stages. Although there is much evidence for certain species adapting to
their respective environments (i.e. a bird developing a specific beak etc.), not one person has ever observed a species changing into another kind of species, i.e. a fish changing into a bird. And since evolution is a process, scientists are also still looking for a semi-evolved human. Proponents of Dar winian evolution have clearly failed to explain where the energy for the “bang” came from, or how the information needed to set in motion and guide the most complex microbiological and bio-chemical
processes encoded in DNA got into the genome. Fact is: if it’s not observable, it’s a belief, needing faith. The obser vable evidence for the existence of a creator (intelligent design), aside from our daily observations that nothing comes from nothing, can be found in the accurate fulfillment of prophecies, recorded in ancient scriptures thousands of years ago. Some of these prophecies are unfolding right before our eyes today. Mario C. Alleckna

After leaving high school early and having a family, Shelly was uncertain about going back to school. She had questions about fitting in, finding child care, and managing her time and energy. The Family Literacy Program at Chilliwack Community Services (CCS) was her answer. Free child care, nutritious food, and encouraging staff gave Shelly the support she needed to pursue her goal. “Going back to school was a positive moment in my life. I had days where I was very tired and distracted, but had a very understanding and flexible instructor. I want to be a good role model for my children and show them that education is important. I have met some wonderful people and have good memories of this year. I now feel I can try anything and do anything.” CCS offers a number of free literacy programs to meet your individual needs. The Families in Motion program builds English, Math, Computer, and Parenting Skills. Adult Upgrading offers UFV instructors in a supportive environment. Our Education and Career Planning courses focus on workplace literacy and skills. New this fall will be FREE access to a one on one Financial Literacy Support Worker! FREE childcare and nutritious food are provided to our classroom participants. For more information please contact Laura Watson at 604-845-0379.

Fraser Institute study says on-reserve schools don’t meet provincial educational standards, but B.C. First Nations advocate disagrees. Katie Bartel The Progress A Fraser Institute report on aboriginal schools, released Thursday, was a slap in the face for B.C.’s on-reserve schools. The report, Myths and Realities of First Nations Education, highlighted a lack of structure, over funding, and abysmal graduation rates compared to public schools. Many on-reserve schools don’t meet provincial educational standards, the study found. It noted on-reserve graduation rates averaged below 40 per cent compared to over 75 per cent in provincial schools. It also found that national per-student funding for First Nations on-reserve students is equal to, or in some provinces, more than funding for all other

Canadian students. However, Tyrone McNeil, president of the First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC) said the report is a blatant misrepresentation of fact for on-reserve schools in B.C.. “It’s just typical bologna coming out of the Fraser Institute,” said McNeil. “The Fraser Institute’s problem is that they pan nationalize everything. There is no doubt there are some regions in Canada where First Nations may not have curriculum standards or teacher certifications. But B.C. First Nations is beyond that.” Since 1998, all teachers employed in on-reserve schools in B.C. must be provincially certified. As well, organizations like FNESC and the First Nations Schools Association have been work-
ing for years on standardizing curriculum and upgrading infrastructure to meet the provincial standard. They’ve partnered with the provincial government, as well as other educational bodies, including the BC School Trustees Association and BC Teachers’ Federation. “None of that is referenced in the Fraser Institute report at all,” said McNeil. McNeil said the report wasn’t surprising given the source. “Fraser Institute basically finds the weakest region in the country and then tries to inform the public that that’s the standard across the country,” he said. “It’s obviously wrong, but they get away with it.” In B.C., there are 130 onreserve schools, 26 of which go to Grade 12.
At Seabird Island’s kindergarten to Grade 12 school, 20 per cent of students attending are non-aboriginal. The provincial government currently provides reciprocal, per-student funding to on-reserve schools as long as they meet the minimum provincial standard. Last year, it provided approximately $10 million in per-student funding. “It’s important for B.C. readers, when they look at the Fraser Institute report, to recognize that what we’re doing in on-reserve k-12 schools isn’t recognized in that report anywhere,” said McNeil. “It’s pretty telling when the province is coughing up $10 million to our system – they’ve got tremendous trust in what it is we’re doing.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Summer is here and I hope you’re enjoying time in the hot sun with family and friends. At The Chamber we’re happy to be working hard throughout the summer (thankful for air conditioning) to help create the best environment for business in Chilliwack. There are still a lot of people that ask me “what does the Chamber do?â€? Well, there are a lot of answers and even though there is a Chamber of Commerce in almost every municipality, there are often differences in how they operate. In fact, there is a saying amongst the Chambers in BC: “Once you’ve seen one Chamber, you’ve seen ONE Chamber!â€? For us, the focus of our operation is simply to create the best environment to do business in Chilliwack! In addition to organizing the most highly attended networking events in Chilliwack and the acclaimed Business Excellence Awards, the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce works closely with other Fraser Valley Chambers on specific policy issues that affect your business. For example; we just launched a report: “The Economic Importance of the Lower Fraser River.â€? This report was commissioned by 13 Chambers of Commerce spanning from Richmond to Hope. In the report we have identified some key risks which include: • Inadequate flood protection infrastructure,
which right now might not contain high tides in El Nino years; • Lack of action on annual sediment removal from spring freshets, which each year move over 30 million m3 (cubic meters) of sediment and leave about 3 million m3 of silt in the navigation and secondary channels of the lower reaches; and • By the end of this century, sea levels at the mouth of the river could potentially rise more than one meter due to climate change and overtop the dike system; This report calls on the Federal, Provincial and Regional Governments to: Take a lead role in bringing together the relevant stakeholders, empower and task that group with putting in place a collaborative regional strategy that addresses long term funding and management requirements for the entire Lower Fraser River and adjacent lands. Being that the Fraser River and surrounding area is so important to many businesses in Chilliwack; we are standing up and we are getting noticed! Along with our work behind the scenes, the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce is also proud to offer our members exclusive access to business discounts from various partners. The collective nature of our Chamber provides tangible financial benefits for our members. Please visit the Member
Benefits section of our website to find out how The Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce can help your business run more efficiently and effectively. On January 31, 2015 we will be hosting our 20th Annual Business Excellence Awards at the Tzeachten Hall. Keep this in mind and remember to nominate your favorite business; the nomination process will start in September. This year will be a gala event and our theme is “The Roaring Twenties.� We ask you to keep your eyes and ears open to be ready to nominate businesses, business owners and employees that radiate Business Excellence. With a Board of Directors that compromises local professionals from all different industry sectors, the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce is a proactive service organization that is continuously looking for better ways to service and bring added value to our members. Belonging to the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce simply makes good business sense.

Kiwanis serve Saturday Manna Service club that concentrates on kids steps up to feed the hungry Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The call went out for local churches and charities to help with providing Saturday Manna. It’s a free lunch program serving the needy of downtown Chilliwack, one that has had trouble finding volunteers to run it recently. Now the Kiwanis of Chilliwack club is stepping up to take over the soup-ladling duties once a month. Several churches used to provide the Saturday Manna on a rotating basis in Chilliwack, but due to retirement and volunteer attrition, it came down to the volunteers with United Church as
the only group left making soup and sandwiches for the down and out. Then came the local Kiwanis, whose charity work focuses on helping children. “We looked at the Saturday Manna program as a club, and decided it was something we could do,” said Paul Rogers, incoming president of the Kiwanis of Chilliwack. The first Manna lunch to be served by Kiwanis volunteers is set for noon on Aug. 9 at the United Church kitchen at Yale Road and Spadina Avenue. “Service clubs, like ours exist to serve the community,” he said. He went to Saturday Manna at the United Church recently to
see how it was done. “I saw hungry people with children. These are people who have obviously had a tough time.” There were only few families who showed up for Saturday lunch when he was there. “We hope there will be more coming once we start,” said Rogers. There can be as many as 100 people coming for lunch. Volunteers with the Kiwanis, and United Church, said they are still hoping and counting on other church groups and organizations to step forward and help fill in the other Saturdays of the month. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno
Online discussion gets vicious SOOWAHLIE from page 3 avoid a roadblock because they’re intoxicated, or they’re try-
ing to take a shortcut because traffic is lined up to the bridge,” she said. Speeders kick up dust, too. “People don’t understand it’s a gravel road. They come off the highway onto the gravel. They can fishtail and end up in the ditch.” The topic exploded on a local Facebook page and a Soowahlie resident said she was amazed at how vicious the discussion got, descending into racist accusations. “I had written up a well-thought-out post regarding Sweltzer Creek Road which runs through Soowahlie,” said resident Barb Commodore.
In the summer, the Cultus area often deals with bumper-to-bumper traffic. Commodore said she couldn’t even get out of her driveway along the highway over the crazy-busy long weekend. “People don’t understand that it is a private road,” she said. It was built and maintained by Soowahlie, and is not a public roadway. “I had people telling me they had a right to use our road,” she said. The whole thread was eventually removed but not before more than 440 responses were logged. Some even made racial slurs and stereotypical epithets against aboriginals.
The push-back from uninformed and insulting posters on social media was totally unexpected. “So many comments were blatantly racial,” said Commodore. After the weekend, Chief Wallace said she met with an RCMP First Nations Policing Unit member, who confirmed RCMP support for Soowahlie’s efforts to keep the community safe by locking the gate. “I know tourism is increasing at Cultus, I’m just not sure if the road capacity is able to sustain the growth,” said Wallace. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Last week, she dispatched for another three years. Above: Marcel, a former tailor for some of the most prominent figures in Congo, was one of Stock’s clients after he lost his eyesight from cataracts. PHOTOS SUBMITTED
Dedicating her life to give others sight Katie Bartel The Progress Two years has turned into three more years. The moment Kathryn Stock became an empty nester in 2012, she cashed in her savings and boarded Africa Mercy. It was an opportunity, she said, to give back, to be something bigger than herself. She took a leave of absence from her engineering occupation; it was only supposed to be two years. Then, she boarded the ship. “It was the most incredible experience of my life,” she said. “I seriously cannot imagine doing anything else.” After a short stint in Chilliwack last month, to reenergize and replenish her funds, Stock depart-
ed last week for another three years aboard Mercy Ships. “I think it will be a lot longer,” she told The Progress two days prior to her departure. “If, in the future, it’s not Mercy Ships, I pretty much feel that I would then become a missionary somewhere else in one of these countries.” It’s the people that’s drawn her in. Mercy Ships is the largest charity hospital ship delivering free, world-class healthcare services to impoverished communities throughout the world. For two years, Stock was aboard Africa Mercy, stationed in Guinea, Togo and the Republic of Congo. She went from being an engineer in Chilliwack to supervising the on-board ophthalmology clinic. She saw thousands of people with

varying eye conditions, people who travelled days in search of the ship, who stood in line for several hours, some they could help, and others they, sadly, had to turn away. “They could have stood in line for six to eight hours, and they’re still so thankful that we took the time to just look at them,” she said. “There is a level of profound gratitude from the people in Africa; it is simply amazing.” She’s seen inoperable eye tumours, corneal scars, cataracts, eyes so far gone, the people behind them are near blind, and others simply needing a good pair of reading glasses. When the bandages come off, her mission is justified. Every time. “There’s something about being a part of helping people,” she said.

“There’s so much reward inside of me… a richness there that I don’t feel here.” Like the story of Marcel. Marcel was once a tailor in Congo, who designed extravagant clothing for French ex patriots as well as the upper echelon of Congo. But when cataracts stole his eyesight, his career was over. For 15 years, the breadwinner was unable to provide for his family. Aboard Africa Mercy, Marcel underwent cataracts surgery on both eyes. “We were able to give back near perfect vision of his eyes,” she said. With his sight returned, Marcel determined to open a small tailor shop where he’d reacquire his skills, and start providing for his family once again. “It will change his whole family’s

life,” Stock said. “That, to me, is incredible because it gives something back that was so valuable before.” It hasn’t always been easy. Turning away hopefuls, telling them there is nowhere in Africa they can go for help is gut wrenching. As is, the yearning to see her son back home in Chilliwack. But, it’s her calling. “I feel like I’m supposed to be there,” she said. “I want to be true to that. I want to see the people who come before me and I want them to know that someone cares, that even if I can’t help them, I want them to know that I care. “I believe, if I could do my life all over again, I would want to be doing this.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Cadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville. This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious hotels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray. Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at Toronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part. With a steady lineup of Ferrari, McLaren and other exotics parked outside, Cadillac was front and centre showing off its new full-size luxury SUV to a young, well-healed crowd of Toronto socialites and business people. Looks Getting a full-size truck into a boutique hotel is like trying to park in one of those parking spots labelled “small car”. To get around this, the party part of the launch was held on a garage rooftop, transformed into a nightclub, complete with gourmet finger food, fancy

A forest firefighters’ truck of choice Ian Harwood
Forest fire conditions in this province are at an all-time high and the wood is very dry.
The men and women that fight these fires every year rely on their vehicles to take them to the battlefield. Remote back roads and sometimes the forest floor
are the roads on which they must travel. There are a variety of vehicles in the firefighter fleet but lately they have been using the Ford Super-
Duty as the prime support vehicle. The new 2015 version is powerful enough to haul heavy trailers and large enough to double as a mobile office.
The 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8, with higher power ratings for 2015, coupled with a 6R140 heavy duty Torqshift sixspeed automatic transmis-
sion delivers improved torque, horsepower and fuel economy. The engine pumps out a whopping 860 ft.lb of torque at 1,600 rpm and 440 horsepower at
2,800 rpm. It has lots of get up and go. Ease your way into the throttle and before you know it, you are at highway speeds. Power and acceleration are smooth and effortless. When properly equipped the Super Duty has a maximum tow rating of 14,152 kg (31,200 lbs) and a total payload of up to 3,293 kg (7,260 lbs) The interior is very functional. The available LCD productivity screen keeps you up to date with vital information, for example fuel economy numbers, towing, off-road information and voice command navigation. A rapid heat supplemental cab heater is available for those cold days that you need interior heat quickly. When you leave your mobile office, it is nice to know you have options with storing your valuables. Under-seat locking storage compartments beneath the first and second row seats provide space for laptops and other important things. I really liked the layout of the gauges and controls in this vehicle; all are easily read and accessible. There are 12-volt outlets everywhere, two in the dash, one in the centre console, one in the back of that console, right beside the newly added 110V/150W power inverter and there’s a supply located in the rear under seat storage bin on the driver’s side. The front seats I found very comfortable and perfect for a long day at work. The rear seating positions were also very comfortable with lots of legroom. Noise levels in the cab, or lack thereof, were amazing. This is must be the quietest diesel on the planet. It runs as quietly as a gasoline vehicle. You can easily hold conversations in the cab at any speed with no interference from outside sources. It was also a treat to be able to order from a drive thru window without having to shut the truck off! Remember, when travelling the back roads this summer, pay attention to the fire danger rating, follow any camp fire bans, and report any fires you see too 1-800663-5555 or *5555. Help the firefighters keep their trucks clean and shiny for longer! ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

changed (from flip-up) to a grip type and a Luxury trim line was added. This new top-line trim added bodycolour bumpers, a rear-view camera, automatic climate control, Smart Key with pushbutton start, leather upholstery and a centre console armrest. Changes to Soul for the 2012 model year included interior and exterior styling enhancements, but were primarily mechanical. Even though displacement figures remained the same, the new engines are more powerful and a fuel-saving (hybrid-like) Idle Stop-andGo feature was an option. New manual and automatic transmissions also came with six-speed gear ratios. In addition to extra power a 2012 of newer Soul’s fuel consumption is lower. The 2.0 litre engine with an automatic transmission is rated at 7.9 L/100km city and 5.9 L/100km on the highway. While that’s a noteworthy improvement, a similar pre-2012 edition Kia Soul (rated at 8.5 city and 6.6 highway) is also a frugal fuel user. Soul was essentially a carry-over model for the
2013 model year, other than a revised grille (with new chrome accents) and a re-styled “Kia” badge. This was also the last production year of the first generation Soul. An all-new Kia Soul was introduced for the 2014 model year. Though the Soul was designed to mainly attract younger buyers, the fuel efficiency and practical characteristics of a Kia Soul can appeal to any age of buyer - if they like its looks.

If you only exercise… In theory, exercising alone should cause weight loss. After all, exercise burns calories, and burning more calories than one uses results in weight loss. In real life however, this is not always the case. One reason that exercising alone does not usually shed pounds is that exercisers compensate for the calories burned by eating more. The amount of calories burned during exercise is often less than we think. This problem is augmented when one uses the calorie counter on cardio machines to estimate calories burned, as the machine often overestimates. If working out is used to justify a few extra treats, the result is usually weight maintenance or weight gain. It takes a lot longer to burn off the calories than it does to consume them! Also, regular exercise
slower metabolism, which means that the body burns fewer calories per day. This slowdown causes a plateau in weight loss, even though the caloric intake stays constant. Also, diets are often unrealistic. While some people may be able to restrict certain foods for a few months, most will not be able to maintain it for the long term. Because diets slow the metabolism, most dieters gain back the weight lost, plus more, when they get off the diet. Finally, dieting alone causes loss of muscle as well as body fat. Even thought the scale shows a change, the percentage of body fat may remain the same.
If you exercise and follow a healthy diet… It is no surprise that combining a healthy diet with regular exercise is the most effec-

tive way to lose the weight and keep it off. Exercise helps to speed up, or at least maintain the metabolic rate despite a reduced
caloric intake. Exercise also reduces the amount of muscle mass lost during dieting. This means that when the scale shows a drop in
weight, the weight lost is likely body fat. Most importantly, people who exercise are more likely to keep the weight off. Even if
exercise does not result in weight loss, it is a key component in maintaining one’s new figure. Tanja Shaw is the owner of Ascend Fitness Inc., a private training studio. Tanja and her

Perennials to replace fading annuals The rather late, wet start to spring this year and the long hot, dry spell has taken its toll on many of our annuals. Some varietBrian ies are startMINTER ing to look somewhat hard and burnt, instead of being soft and vegetative, and many annuals have stopped growing. Heat and water stress are the major causes of this hardness. Unfortunately, these stressedout annuals can leave your garden looking a little blah at this time of year, which may be awkward when we have so many friends and relatives visiting. Late flowering summer annuals and perennials, however, can give your garden some needed fresh colour and a few very special plants do more than their share to keep the colour going. Yellow is always an important colour to give a lift to late summer gardens, and two excellent perennials immediately come to mind. The longest and strongest flowering variety has got to be the lacy leafed Coreopsis verticulata ‘Zagreb’. It just never quits. Its cousin, the softer yellow C. ‘Moonbeam’, is also a non-stop
flowering, more spreading variety. Both always look good without any care or attention and defy the concept of perennials needing a lot of work. My other favourite yellow perennial is a rudbeckia called ‘Goldsturm’. This European introduction is just out of this world! It’s hardy, relatively short (about 24 inches tall), and its large, single, yellow daisy-like flowers just keep on blooming right up until October. ‘Goldsturm’ is such an improvement over the other varieties — they’re not even in the same league! A new shorter variety called ‘Little Gold Star’ is also stealing the show. It grows only 12-14 inches tall and produces an abundance of colour. It’s a ‘hottie’. Not to be outdone, annual rudbeckias really steal the show at this time of year. The low, larger flowered ‘Becky’ and smaller flowered ‘Toto’ series perform magnificently in our hot weather. For taller, more background plants, the ‘Hirta’ series, like the award winning ‘Prairie Sun’ and ‘Denver Daisy’, does the job nicely. Helleniums truly provide some of the richest summer colours from bronze to burgundy, as well as terrific bicolours. There are many varieties, but H. ‘Sahin’ is a gold bronze bicolour that just never
quits. Echinaceas are also now in full bloom, and all the new colours from vibrant orange and golden yellow to white and hot pink provide a lasting perennial display. They also attract butterflies and honeybees. The new ‘Pow Wow’ series is truly the most prolific. Some other excellent late summer blooming perennials not to be forgotten are the pink-lavender blooms of Joe-pye Weed (Eupatorium ‘Atropurpureum); the white, fragrant flowers of all the cimicifuga; and some of the new heliopsis varieties that make wonderful backdrops for perennial borders. Japanese anemones, too,
are one of the amazing long flowering fall perennials, as are the beautiful new basilbranching achilleas, especially the ‘Seduction’ series. Although in our region, they can vary in hardiness as perennials, chrysanthemums are just now arriving in garden stores. They tolerate both the hot sun and rain and add a fresh new look to August and September gardens. In spite of the weather we may experience from year to year and how it impacts on our annuals, these perennials, and many more like them, are the workhorses of any garden and will add wonderful colour to a late summer garden, carrying it into fall.

Why romantic love makes sense relationship is “can I count on you?” Whether it’s a baby cr ying for a parent, or a spouse feeling over whelmed about a work Marie situation, we AMOS look for the important people in our lives to support us in a responsive and consistent way. Love needs warmth and support to thrive, not criticism and negativity. If we can turn to our partner and be reassured, this is a good sign. The therapy co-created by Dr. Johnson is called Emotion Focussed Therapy (EFT) and uses the attachment model and emotional attunement to heal relationships. Attunement is the process of feeling and understanding what our partner is feeling, and our belief they are engaged in what we are feeling. The more “in sync” we are emotionally, the safer and more connected we feel. Star t improving your relationship by taking advantage of the small opportunities to connect and mend the everyday crossed wires that are inevitable. Dr. Johnson identifies the three main elements of a secure bond as being accessible and engaged, and responding to our
Dr. Sue Johnson has spent the last thirty years researching romantic relationships and working with couples to develop safe, meaningful, and long-term connections. Her latest book, Love Sense, explores the key practices of maintaining a romantic relationship. Based on scientific inquiry, Dr. Johnson clearly lays out the building blocks of a happy relationship. Our society sometimes portrays romantic love as something that happens outside of us- but every day we make choices to connect or disconnect from our romantic partner. We are biologically wired to bond — as infants, children, and as adults. The paradox of this is the more securely bonded we are, the more independent it allows us to be. In romantic relationships, the falling-in-love stage consists of gazing into each other’s eyes, and talking away about everything little thing from our past and current lives. This connecting process, often called attachment, is one that occurs across all of our relationships but is most notable and powerful in parent-child and romantic bonds. Indeed, in our closest relationships it takes on an importance that approaches the need for oxygen. The central question in a
partner’s emotions with comfort and caring (as in, not texting or watching TV when your partner is upset). These elements, when accompanied by us recognizing and communicating our own emotions, can transform communication. For example, angrily yelling at your partner because he or she was late is going to be less effective than telling them you were scared there was car accident. Our brains are naturally predisposed to connection, so the more positive bonding experiences we have with our partner, the easier it becomes. Ever y relationship worth having is worth working on, and no relationship so positive or negative that it can’t improve. For more information, read Sue Johnson’s books Hold Me Tight, and Love Sense. The Building Healthy Relationships workshops in our community are a terrific way to work on skill-building with your partner. Offered several times a year, the series includes one based entirely on Dr. Johnson’s. Check out buildinghealthyrelationships. net for the workshop schedule.

Luke Esposito plays for the Harvard Crimson and Trevor Hills for the St. Lawrence Saints. Both schools skate in the East Coast Athletic Conference. The ECAC listed 38 BCHL alums as all-academics. The Quinnipiac University Bobcats lead the way with eight; Connor Jones (Vernon Vipers), Brady Rouleau (Victoria Grizzlies), Michael Gar teig (Penticton Vees), Kellen Jones (Vernon Vipers), Brooks Robinson (Prince George Spruce Kings), Brayden Sherbinin (Salmon Arm Silverbacks), Travis St. Denis (Penticton Vees) and Devon Toews

(Surrey Eagles). The Union College Dutchmen have six; Mat Bodie (Powell River Kings), Matt Hatch (Alberni Valley Bulldogs), Cole Ikkala (Vernon Vipers), Daniel Carr (Powell River Kings), Noah Henry (Powell River Kings) and Charlie
Vasaturo (Salmon Arm Silverbacks). Twenty one BCHLers were named on the Atlantic Hockey allacademic team, none of them former Chiefs. The Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers had seven; Brad McGowan (Surrey Eagles), Josh Mitchell (Alberni

Fraser Valley Open set for debut Three local golf courses are joining forces to host the inaugural Fraser Valley Open, a threeday 54 hole tournament that tees off Aug. 30. The Falls hosts round one followed by the Sandpiper Golf Course on Aug. 31 and the Chilliwack Golf Club on Sept. 1. Forty eight of BC’s top golf pros are expected to compete
along with a field of 144 amateurs. Pros will vie for a purse of $15,000 (based on a full field). Amateurs will have their own $15,000 purse plus an array of prizes. Golfers will play alongside North Vancouver native Bryn Parry, winner of the last two Chilliwack Men’s Opens.
“The event will be an official Vancouver Golf Tour ‘Order of Merit’ event,” said VGT commissioner Fraser Mulholland. “Most likely it will be the event to decide who wins our year-end Order of Merit on the professional side as it has heavy weighting.” To register, visit vancouvergolftour.com/schedule/fraservalley-open/
I feel thankful this week that the weather has cooperated and we w e haven’t seen any ‘liquid sunshine’ as the Fraser Valley Junior Golf Tournament tees off. Rain is tough to play in, but unfortunately, unless the golf course is deemed ‘unplayable’ by tournament officials, the game must go on. On those occasions, I the coach bundle up in my super warm w arm ski clothing and rain gear and off I go. These lush green floating fairways w ays hold so many of their hopes and dreams. Rain or shine. From a coaching perspective I think, ‘Ah, junior development at its finest! Be strong and carry on. Golf your ball!’ I have come to respect and embrace all that the game of golf has to offer our youth. Naturally we automatically think of the many educational opportunities to be had through the sport, for boys and girls. Of course, continuing education is a big one but let’s not over look the subtle stuff. Stuff like significant opportunities to grow as a person, you know….on the inside. Developing takes many hours of commitment throughout the yyear. ear. As a coach I have come to appreciate the times when it’s jjust ust too cold to practice or play because we now have the opportunity to learn about ourselves and what makes us tick — what ticks us off and what all that inner chatter we listen to all day long is about. Most junior golfers spend their
time developing their technical skills. But what of the emotional and mental skills required in presenting out our best effort and performance as an athlete and competitor on the golf course? We have a community that is against ‘bullying.’ We have Pink Shirt Day in schools to show our stand againstt bullies and yet, you wouldn’tt believe how these wonderful young people talk to themselves after a golf shot! I’ll ask them, ‘iff your buddy hit that shot would you say to them what you just said to yourself?’ The answer is a resounding no! I encourage them to grasp the concept that they have to be theirr best friend out there, and as such, treat themselves with respect. Your measure as a person is not in any way related to how farr you hit the ball or what you score. I relish the fact that our youth, in the process of learning the game, have the added opportunityy to grow as a person, to develop their sense of honor and integrity. In summary, there is a standing discussion on the topic of ‘growing the game of golf.’ I prefer the point of view thatt if we are able to assist our youth in their personal developmentt through golf, then the game itselff will grow. Wow, what a game! Kathy is a 20 year coachingg veteran, Kathy is one of a selectt few women golf professionals in Canada to hold a Class “A” status in both the C.P.G.A. and L.P.G.A. Associations. She is an instructor at the Chilliwack and Northview Golff Academies, and head coach of the Robert Bateman secondary schooll academy.

Huskers host Rebels
Winless teams clash at Exhibition Stadium Saturday night as the Valley Huskers host Victoria’s Westshore Rebels. Kickoff is 1 p.m. as the 0-2 teams meet for the first time in 2014. The Rebels have lost twice by identical scores, dropping a 39-9 decision to the Kamloops Broncos in week one and a 39-9 decision to the Vancouver Island Raiders last weekend.
Despite losing, the Rebels landed two player-of-the week awards in week two. Receiver Nathan Leader hauled in six balls for 211 yards against the Raiders to earn offensive player of the week honours. Victoria native Chris Pastro had five tackles and two-and-a-half quarterback sacks to take defensive player of the week honours. The Huskers would have had one player in the mix for a weekly award. Receiver Tyron Ledingham had 186 yards receiving in a 49-33 week two loss to the Broncos. He is currently second in BC Football Conference receiving yards with
300. The Huskers need to address defensive deficiencies against the Rebels. Chilliwack was unable to stop the Kamloops ground game, with the Broncos averaging nearly 10 yards (8.82) per carry. The Broncos added another 243 yards through the air en-route to 541 yards of net offence. This is the last Husker home game before a lengthy road trip that sees them leave Chilliwack for five straight games. They won’t be back until Sept. 27, wrapping up the regular season with home dates against the Rebels and Langley Rams.

He was a devoted son to his parents, a loving brother to Grace Moore (Richard), and a wonderful uncle to Mark Moore (Maureen), Dwight Moore (Marian), Derrick Moore, and Gwenda Brouzes (Rick). He will also be greatly missed by his Aunt Minnie Magnusson and his many cousins, great nieces and nephews and friends.

Goldsworthy Grace Beatrice October 30, 1920 July 31st, 2014
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Grace Goldsworthy (nee Wilson) on Thursday, July 31, 2014. She passed away after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s and Cancer at the age of 93. Grace lived in Chilliwack for over 40 years. Mom is survived by her son, Bob (Claudia) Goldsworthy, Laurie (Bob) Anderton and Kathy (Kevin) Teschke. She leaves behind several grandchildren, and great grandchildren that she loved so very much. She is predeceased by her husband, Harold Goldsworthy and son Kenneth Goldsworthy. Mom loved her family, treasured her pets and also loved to garden. She was especially fond of her vegetable garden and her roses. She enjoyed to travel, camp and fish with dad. She will be remembered by all with love, respect and pride. A special thanks to all the staff at the Bradley Center and a special hug for Cheryl and Glenace. We know that you also loved mom with us. A Memorial Tea will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, August 12 at 8570 Gibson Rd. Chilliwack. God saw her getting tired, a cure was not to be. He wrapped her in his loving arms and whispered ‘Come with me’. She suffered much in silence, her spirit did not bend. She faced her pain with courage, until the very end. She tried so hard to stay with us but her fight was not in vain, God took her to His loving home and freed her from the pain. Rest well Mom…you were loved so very much and we will miss you.

Harald was born to Bjarne and Olava, the fifth of nine children, in the Norwegian farming community of La Glace north of Grande Prairie, Alberta. In 1952, after training at Peace River Bible Institute in Sexsmith, he married Edna Peters and left the family farm for ministry with the Shantymen’s Christian Association in Tofino on Vancouver Island. Thereafter he served with the Christian and Missionary Alliance as pastor of 11 churches over the next 50 years throughout western Canada, including Chilliwack Alliance, Sherwood Park Alliance and Sevenoaks Alliance in Abbotsford. By his own estimation, his signal accomplishment was to establish, in 1980, Strathcona Christian Academy in Sherwood Park, Alberta. This K-12 school now has 1,100 students. He was the father of five fine children: Leon, Laurie, Lyndon, Trevor, and his ‘special girl’ Kathy, grandfather to thirteen grandchildren, and in February, became a great-grandpa. He was predeceased in 2007 by Edna, whose loss he mourned to the end, and is survived by brothers Oswald, Lloyd and Dean, and sisters Mary and Myrtle. Harald was an able, practical preacher, characterized by humility and integrity, with a passion for hard work. He dedicated his life to make known the gospel of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, leaving a legacy that enriched the lives of thousands. He enjoyed a full and wonderful life with his beloved Edna, and his children will always be proud to call him ‘dad.’
