Walas team in the ‘research’ stage

■ A

LITTLE LLAMA LOVE

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Some residents may be curious about what’s happening since Walas Concepts was contracted a few months ago to help kickstart redevelopment in the downtown core. They’re in the research phase now, actively meeting with people, and asking anyone with an idea of how to liven up Chilliwack’s downtown to contact them directly. Barb Kemp, longtime retailer and former Downtown Chilliwack BIA president, has just been hired to join the Walas team. Central to their philosophy is the idea that “cities are about people,” explained Gerben van Straaten, Walas CEO, in a news release Monday. They will be operating out of a downtown office within a couple of weeks. They plan to be the catalysts to “initiate conversations” about new and potentially better uses of the downtown core, like re-purposing under-used or boarded-up buildings. Once they set up their office, the Walas team will be working closely with downtown residents, property owners, business people and new entrepreneurs. “At this moment, the project is in the research stage, with Walas Concepts getting to know the strengths and weaknesses of the community, and working together with local residents to initiate that change,” said van Straaten. It’s Kemp’s boundless enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of downtown that make her “a welcome addition,” to the Walas team, he said. Continued: WALAS/ p7

Ramping up the pressure for a deal Related story on page 5: ‘Five Corners rally saw more support for teachers’ Katie Bartel The Progress With less than a month to go before school is supposed to start, teachers in Chilliwack have once again ramped up protesting efforts. Tuesday morning, a group of about 30 teachers made their presence known outside the office of Chilliwack MLA John Martin. Two more protests are scheduled for Aug. 19 outside Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness’ office and another

on Aug. 26 at Cottonwood Mall. Chilliwack Teachers’ Association will also have a booth set up for the last two nights of Party in the Park on Aug. 15 and 22. “We want to put pressure on our local MLAs; they have the ability to move this forward,” said Chilliwack secondary school teacher Rob Bogunovic. Strategically, the Chilliwack Teachers’ Union chose to demonstrate outside Martin’s office from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., during high commuter time. The first rain of the month did

not deter them. “Teachers are still very keen and dedicated to this movement,” said CTA president Clint Johnston. “There’s a lot of uncertainty and this is our interface with the public.” Sardis secondar y teacher Cecelia Griffiths stood on the front lines with ‘Standing up for BC Students’ emblazoned on her T-shirt. She also wore buttons with the slogans ‘Proud to be a Teacher’ and ‘Teachers Want a Fair Deal’. Griffiths has been a teacher for

35 years, specializing in special needs. “I work with the kids who have the most severe disabilities in the building,” she said. “What I’ve seen in my 35 years, the level of service we provide now isn’t even triage anymore. Special needs students are not getting the supports they need.” Grade 6 teacher Leora Polsam hopes a fair deal will be achieved, but “our hopes have been dashed so many times,” she’s losing faith.

News Canada-wide warrant issued for double murder suspect The IHIT team issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for Aaron David Douglas, in connection with last Thursday’s double-murder in Chilliwack. Douglas has a criminal record dating back to 1996 and police describe him as “armed and dangerous.” The 33-year-old has been identified as a suspect in the death of 38-year-old Richard Blackmon and 36-yearold Tyler Belcourt, victims of what police called a “targeted” shooting.

■ S PIRIT

A third person, a female, escaped with her life and her identity has not been revealed. Neighbours around Hawthorne Manor (near the corner of Gore Avenue and Nowell Street) heard several shots fired around 4 a.m., then saw a white Mazda hatchback speed away. “IHIT is asking the public to be vigilant and call 911 if you know the whereabouts of Aaron Douglas,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, with the Integrated Homicide

Investigation Team (IHIT) “Do not approach him or attempt to apprehend him yourself.” Douglas was released from custody just last month after an unrelated attempted murder charge was dropped. Douglas took a plea deal on a weapons charge in exchange for having the larger charge stayed. He was sentenced to time served (19 months) plus three years probation. He was also ordered to have no contact with the victim in that case, Jeff Karpes.

Hit-and-run driver sought Chilliwack RCMP are looking for a vehicle and driver involved in a hit-and-run last Tuesday night. At 9:45 p.m. a 51 year old man was walking his dog, crossing Hodgins Avenue at the Corbould Street lights next to the Landing Leisure Centre. A grey pickup truck turning from Hodgins onto Corbould

hit the man and his dog. The truck continued on without stopping. The man suffered minor injuries. His dog was seriously injured and was put down by a veterinarian. Anyone with info is asked to call the RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

OF THE POWWOW

Stolen trailers and lumber Chilliwack RCMP are looking for lumber thieves who pulled off a brazen heist. Between 5 p.m. Aug. 4 and 8 a.m. Aug. 5, two commercial B-Train trailers were stolen from the Chevron in the 44000 block of Yale Road. Both were loaded with 1” x 6”x 10’ lengths of wood, wrapped with white plastic wrap and emblazoned with ‘GORMAN’ in green lettering. They are black 2006 Magnum flat decks, one bearing the B.C. licence plate 25328D and the other B.C. plate 55325B. The combined value of the trailers and lumber is estimated to be in the tens of thousands of dollars. Anyone with info is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Mine spill ‘unlikely’ to harm spawning sockeye Jeff Nagel Black Press The Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill is “unlikely” to significantly harm Fraser River sockeye now returning to spawn in fouled Quesnel Lake, according to the Pacific Salmon Commission. The agency managing salmon fisheries said it doesn’t expect the peak of the sockeye migration to reach Quesnel Lake until the first week of September, giving about 20 days for river and lake conditions there to improve. In a news release issued Friday it also noted the “encouraging results” of initial water quality tests released by the province is a cause for optimism. But the commission cautioned there

are also juvenile sockeye currently rearing in the lake and it’s too soon to tell whether they will be severely affected. “The spill could impact their survival and food supply,” it said. Great concern persists among First Nations and other salmon users over the potential for contamination and long-lasting damage to the fishery as a result of the mine disaster. Between 845,000 and 2.95 million sockeye are forecast to spawn in the Quesnel system this year – about a quarter of the summer run and seven per cent of all Fraser sockeye stocks combined. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has not directly commented on the threat to salmon, saying Environment Canada is the lead federal agency.

“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 on salmon returns,” the department said in an emailed statement. The Fraser continues to run at lower levels and higher temperatures than average, adding to concern that significant numbers of sockeye could die on their way upstream before spawning. But officials say incoming sockeye look healthy and most are migrating through Johnstone Strait, rather than Juan de Fuca Strait on the west side of Vancouver Island. Continued: SOCKEYE/ p7

For the record Information that was published on page 5 of the Friday, Aug. 8 issue of the Chilliwack Progress incorrectly stated that the driver of a white fourdoor Mazda Protege was responsible for a two-car accident at the corner of Yale Road and Spadina Avenue.

Negotiations may resume soon STRIKE from Front “I’m here for that reason,” she said, pointing to a sign that read ‘Invest in Students of BC.’ Bogunovic doesn’t believe the strike will end well for his cohort. “Some teachers have tried to be optimistic, but I’ve believed all along this will end with legislated contracts imposed on us or the government will essentially bankrupt teachers so they have to go back,” he said. “We haven’t even been offered net zero. Very straight math will show what we’ve been offered is -2 per cent over six years.” The last offer from BC Public School Employers’ Association, in May, was seven per cent over six years. Last Friday, BC Teachers’ Federation and BCPSEA were back at the bargaining table for the first time since talks broke down in June. Negotiations are expected to resume this week.

About 30 teachers participated in a demonstration outside Chilliwack MLA John Martin’s office Tuesday morning. STAFF PHOTO

Both sides have been tight lipped about last week’s meeting. Still, school district officials are hopeful. “Certainly, this is a very unsettling time for the entire community, and we are very concerned, but I have to remain optimistic,” said Walt Krahn, chair of Chilliwack board of education. “I have to

remain hopeful because I believe, as an elected official, it is our responsibility to be positive advocates for student success. We need to remain focused on student learning and look for a resolution.” Chilliwack board of education has sent two letters to the Ministry of Education, one last fall, and one in June. Letters

have also been sent to BCTF and BCPSEA. As well, Krahn and vicechair Silvia Dyck have met with both local MLAs to encourage them to push for both parties to settle. Chilliwack MLA John Martin was not available for comment prior to press deadline. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Five Corners rally saw support for teachers special needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the reasons why I retired. I had to piggyback too many students. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to teach when some students are throwing chairs or threatening others with scissors.â&#x20AC;? So the key issues at stake are much more complex than just what teachers are paid, Fairney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The negotiations will again I hope. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being optimistic.â&#x20AC;? The labour action led to rotating strikes over several weeks in May and June, before classes were interrupted two weeks early with a fullscale walk-out. A dozen years of battling over teacher contracts is simply too long. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point teacher and parent Monique Lousier sought to make with her neon-green sign that read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;12 years of fighting is too long!â&#x20AC;?

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Retired education assistant Lisa Fairney organized a lunchtime demonstration of support for striking teachers on Friday at Five Corners in Chilliwack. About 25 parent and teachers showed up. It was the recent B.C. government offer of $40 to parents that did it for Fairney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was the straw that broke the camelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back for me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That $40 is not about education â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about babysitting and buying off the parents.â&#x20AC;? The offer to B.C. parents is a contingency, to cover childcare for each student under 13, should the strik-9e drag on into the fall. Parents can apply for the $40 online, starting Sept. 2. Fairney was an EA for 25 years in the school district, working at first with a severely deaf student.

We acknowledge and appreciate the emails and phone calls concerning the challenging circumstances being experienced and we remain hopeful that we will begin our school year on September 2. We are in constant contact with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and the Minister of Education in order to remain current on information. Please visit our website, www.sd33.bc.ca for details on school start-up information.

Walas will open office soon WALAS from Front “City development should be user-driven,” added van Straaten, and everything they do at Walas seems to resonate with that idea. They will be listening, matchmaking and helping guide the process along wherever possible. Walas Concepts Inc., a Dutchbased company with offices in Vancouver, was engaged by City of Chilliwack and CEPCO in March to help speed up down-

town redevelopment. They use innovative techniques and a “bottom-up” approach to problemsolving. Mentorship and partnerships are also key. Walas expertise is in creative community development, business administration and management coaching. “By building bridges and connections between people, such as innovators, the business community, citizens and various stakeholders, Walas Concepts aims

to foster an interconnected community that is both economically sustainable and socially diverse.” Have an idea for the downtown?

Commercial fishing has already been open offshore to trollers since Aug. 2 and gillnetters who fish on the lower river between Steveston and Mission will get their first opening on Monday afternoon. There’s no in-season estimate of the overall run size yet. But major components of the run are tracking close to the mid-range of what had been predicted in advance. That suggests a total sockeye return closer to the median forecast of 23 million, rather than the low end of seven million or a record high return of 72 million. Area E Gillnetters Association spokesman Bob McKamey said it looks to be the best return since the large run of more than 30 million sockeye in 2010. The last two years have been bleak for gillnetters, with only one chum opening each of the past two years and no sockeye fisheries. “They have waited a long time for a sockeye fishery. A lot us are just looking forward to getting a fresh one to the table.” He expects steady openings for the 300 or so commercial gillnetting boats for several weeks. “We’re expecting regular week-day openings from now until September.” Limited recreational fisheries for sockeye opened on the Fraser River last week, which catch limits of four per day, while aboriginal ceremonial and food sockeye fishing started two weeks ago. Unionized commercial fishermen, mean-

while, have denounced the lack of government oversight of the Mount Polley mine. “We have fleets of boats with observers or cameras watching our every move to fish sustainably, and nobody is watching these folks as they destroy our ecosystem,” said Kim Olsen, president of the Unifor local representing fishermen and allied workers. “Where has the BC Ministr y of Environment been? Where has Environment Canada been? The oversight is pathetic.”

Respect needed between motorists and cyclists

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

A fear of death shouldn’t be what keeps people from choosing to ride a bicycle. But it might. A cyclist was killed recently in Richmond, and another was injured by a hit-and-run driver in Port Coquitlam. In each case, it’s unclear what caused the collisions. What is clear is the devastating results of a crash between a bicycle and a vehicle. The roads are packed with vehicles, driven by motorists weighed down by a multitude of potential distractions. The Lower Mainland has been expanding its cycling infrastructure but it needs more work — lots more work. But giving cyclists plenty of room on the road doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be safe from inattentive drivers. An average of 150 cyclists are injured in B.C. every month during peak riding season of May to October, according to ICBC. We should all be encouraging more people to strap on helmets and take to the streets on two wheels — it’s healthy for commuters and recreational riders, the environment and a congested region. But those statistics don’t do much for a would-be cyclist’s confidence. Yes, cyclists must do their part. The insurance corporation advises them to never assume drivers can see them and to wear bright, reflective clothing, and use lights at night. But how many times have you seen a motorist park in a bike lane? Fail to yield to a cyclist? Nearly knock a rider over while passing? It happens too often. Drivers and cyclists need to watch for each other at all times, use eye contact and hand signals. Moreover, we all need to make efforts to build greater respect between drivers and cyclists. Whether on two wheels or four, that starts with every one of us. — The Richmond Review (Black Press)

B.C. V IEWS

Farm changes a great leap forward VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve have been clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland. Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland looting spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed. As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date. The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A

minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted. This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability. It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap For ward, where Tom farmers all had FLETCHER little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But I digress. “Amongst other things,” the discussion paper says, “lessening the restrictions on on-farm processing could allow the establishment of abattoirs (large, small or mobile) on farms, to serve surrounding cattle, game or poultry farms.” Then there’s cheese, fruit

juice and even medical marijuana products. And did you know that wineries and cideries are allowed on farmland but breweries, distilleries and meaderies aren’t? (Mead is made from honey, and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned helmet.) Now that we’ve discovered that breweries don’t have to be giant urban industrial plants producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound. On-farm wine and cider sales have similarly quaint retail space and product origin restrictions. The government proposes to allow sales of products not made on site, as long as they’re made in B.C. This could make more local retail beverage co-ops viable. Or it could spawn a wave of unregulated rural liquor stores that cre-

ate chaos on country roads. You decide. On a more serious note, there are a couple of questions about changes to the newly created “zone two,” the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. One repeats the government’s intention to open up non-farm use rules to allow certain oil and gas service functions on farmland. This is to reflect the reality already on the ground in the Northeast. What other non-farm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the consultation and regional meetings continue until Aug. 22. There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway. And finally there are proposed

exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” campaign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.” It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

Treat mine spill disaster like human health crisis Re: Mt. Polley mine spill. The cure for the sickness this has inflicted on the environment and the public — we need to treat this disaster as one treats a human health crisis: 1. Apply antibiotics to stem the emergency and get us through the crisis stage of the sickness; 2. Treat the long term health and address the systemic cause of the sickness using a more holistic approach. Demanding that regulations be increased, new mining proposals be put on hold, etc. is the antibiotics. We have to get the organism through the immediate crisis. But this is stop-gap only: again and again we’ve seen demonstrated the failure of government regulation to effect long term health in their respective

fields. Just as using antibiotics long-term is counter-productive, resorting to short term or kneejerk measures doesn’t create that long term health. The holistic approach in human health considers the complete picture of what builds good health — not just provide a medicinal fire extinguisher when disaster strikes. It considers not only what the body needs nutritionally, but also exercise and relaxation and other lifestyle factors that support robust health. It is the very definition of proactive thinking. This is the ideal metaphor for this environmental health crisis. We need new models of governance where expert recommendations don’t simply gather dust on a shelf, where the concerns of

local people are not ignored by decision makers in distant cities, where concerns of experienced front-line people like Gerald MacBurney are addressed and incidents like this are prevented rather than reacted to. We need planning that would, for example, put in place capacity to manage tailings before allowing the tailings to be produced, and that would project for the likelihood of greater frequency and severity of extreme weather events and engineer to cope. We need to consider the model of local governance and decision-making advocated by organizations like The WaterWealth Project. Wayne Froese

Thanks for great service at CGH On May 27, I entered the Chilliwack General Hospital to have my cancerous bladder removed. I was quite apprehensive about this as I had not had a serious surgery in 66 years. I did have complete faith in my surgeon Dr. Saul Goodman and as it turned out my faith was well placed. However, I had heard some disturbing stories about hospital stays and this worried me somewhat. When I awoke in ICU some hours later I was really happy that I had survived but was feeling very poorly to say the least. I was hooked up to more electronics than I had thought existed. I was sort of in and out of it as the saying goes for most of that night. In the morning I discovered that I had round the clock

nursing care and my every need was taken care of immediately. They wanted me to get out of bed ASAP and although I had serious doubts about even moving they had me out and into a chair with help from two nurses. This happened every so often and soon I was looking forward to getting up. During the next three days I got to know some of the nurses and found them to be the most caring and dedicated people one could imagine. If I rang my bell I had a nurse inside of 30 seconds, truly amazing! I can only remember the name of one nurse and her name was Diane (spelling) and she looked after me as though I was her father. I can’t say enough good things about the ICU

nurses I just don’t have the words. After four days I was moved to the surgical ward and the great care was continued there. I had one male nurse and I had never had one before so I didn’t know what to expect. He, too, was truly fantastic and I remember his name, as it was an odd one, he was called Ayo. He took me for walks around the floor to get me moving better. On these forays there was one nurse who always gave me a high five on my way past, she was one of the happiest people I have ever met. While on this ward I met a few of my fellow patients all of them very friendly but the one whom I remember best was Brian Point and it turned out he lives not far from me and I

probably pass his place all the time. I hope he is making as good a recovery as I am. The one and only downer during my stay was the food to me it was totally inedible and I only ate a few mouthfuls in seven days. I relied on my wife and daughter to bring me some edible food. I would like to see the premier and the minister of health eat that food for a week maybe then we would see some improvement. I am now two months out of the hospital and doing very well and can now walk four or more kilometres and have ridden my motorcycle to Boston Bar. Thanks to all you dedicated health care workers you are fantastic. R. Bowman Blythe

Abby man to ride for kids’ cancer research

A fundraiser takes place Aug. 15 in Chilliwack for an Abbotsford man’s participation in the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride (SNKCR). Bob Ahuja is participating in the bike ride from Winnipeg to Toronto, starting on Sept. 4, with a goal of raising $5,000. Ahuja first participated in SNKCR in 2012, riding 7,000 kilometres from Vancouver to Halifax and raising $25,000 in memory of his 14-year-old cousin, who died of cancer in 2010. “As I approached the Atlantic Ocean on Sept. 21, 2012, I realized that the feeling of helping kids was so great that I wanted to continue being involved with SNKCR,” Ahuja said. In 2013, he rode as a relay rider from Vancouver to Winnipeg and, this year, he is carrying on to Toronto. Ahuja said one of his goals this year, besides raising funds for cancer research, is to encourage someone else in the community to commit as a rider or volunteer for SNKCR. The fundraiser on Friday, Aug. 15 takes place at Duke’s Country Pub (41582 Yale Rd.). Tickets for the roast beef buffet are $20, with proceeds going to the cause.

Water bottling plant public hearing tonight in Harrison Mills Land would have to be rezoned to allow for the bottling plant to be built An application has been made to rezone an area near Chehalis to build a water bottling plant. The company making the application is called Christopher’s Spring Water Inc., and the public hearing is being held this Wednesday in Harrison Mills. The land is currently zoned Institutional but would have to be rezoned to Resource Industrial to allow for the bottling plant to be built and operate. At this public hearing,

those who believe their interest is affected by the proposed bylaws will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions. Written submission may also be submitted to Fraser Valley Regional District in advance of the hearing but must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. August 13. Written submissions will be entered into the public hearing record. The draft bylaw and a staff report regarding the pro-

Hottest day on record in ages Monday was the hottest August 11 in Chilliwack on record since 1881. It was also the 19th day of the summer with sizzling hot temperatures over 30 degrees. The mercury actually hit 35.6 degrees Celsius on Monday, Aug. 11, according to Roger Pannett volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. That’s more than 10 degrees above normal and the previous record for that day was set in 1977 at 33.9 C. It’s also the hottest day in Chilliwack since the record maximum of 36 C on Aug. 14, 2010. “To date in 2014 there has now been an unusual 19 high temperature records,” said Pannett.

posed project are available on the Fraser Valley Regional District website. The 48-page staff report includes a brief summary of the proposal. “The applicant wishes to construct and operate a water bottling plant utilizing on-site spring water from an existing water license on a privately owned parcel accessed off of Chehalis Forest Service Road, approximately 1.5 kilometres from the Lougheed Highway. Although resource extraction is a permitted use

under the existing zone, the bottling plant itself would require a zoning amendment for the resource industrial aspects of the proposed development. A development permit for geological hazards is required, and the applicant has provided a geological hazard assessment to support the rezoning application, at the request of staff.” The public hearing will be conducted on Wednesday, Aug. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Harrison Mills Community Hall, 1995 School Road.

Pirate Pak Day helps send kids to camp Shiver me timbers! Pirate Pak Day is today, Wednesday, Aug. 13 at White Spot in Chilliwack and beyond. The seventh annual fundraiser gives $2 from the sale of every Pirate Pak to the B.C. charity that provides kids and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities a memorable summer camp experience. “Pirate Pak Day has become an annual celebration that helps young mateys facing life-long challenges,” said White Spot president Warren Erhart.

They’ve raised $268,386 and sent more than 100 children to camp. White Spot Week at Zajac Ranch runs from August 18 to 22 and includes activities ranging from horseback riding and kayaking.

WN CHILLIWACK DOWNTO

presents present esents

From forests to flying squirrels at Blue Heron open house this weekend As the surrounding birds chirp away and the beaver continues to build his dam, staff at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, are chipping away at an exciting new event, The Imaginature Open House is designed to bring together a number of environmental organizations in order to encourage an interest from the public in both preservation and enjoyment of the natural world and wildlife. This event is slated for Saturday, Aug. 16

and will run from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. with programs and activities by visiting groups from throughout the lower mainland. The morning will begin with a guided bird watching walk led by the Chilliwack Field Naturalists, followed by “Forests, Fungi and Flying Squirrels,” a family program run by the Hope Mountain Centre. In the afternoon, Wild Safe BC will be running an interactive program that is both informative and fun for the entire family.

Chilliwack is leading the way for B.C. Many people are unaware of the sheer scope and size of the vast Chilliwack Forest District. It stretches north from the U.S. border out to the coast and into the Gulf Islands, to the north end of Harrison Lake and all the way to Manning Park. This district is large, and so is the mandate to provide high-value recreation sites and trails and to maintain them to the standard that most residents of this area and tourists ODLUMBROWN.COM

AliveOutside Get involved in your backcountry TRAILS from page 24 wishes to use our backcountry, and wants to help make it a better place, comes ever y month, as this group is where decisions get made, where funding gets allocated, and where the users can have their input heard. Peters and Dunn are still faced with an impossible mandate: how to use their few resources wisely, and how to keep everybody happy at the same time. This truly is a daunting task, however Peters and Dunn do it as well as anyone possibly could and with the help of CRAG, the Chilliwack Forest District has seen a surge in new trails and recreation sites and better relationships amongst all of the groups. CRAG is unique and is now the envy of many other forest recreation officers in British Columbia. Peters is able to tap into a resource base greater than anyone else in his department, as he can talk to men and women who represent tens of thou-

sands of people out on every single one of the trails that we love every week of every year. It is from our mouths that Peters hears about road washouts, about vandalized campsites, and about trails that we all dream could exist. CRAG is not only beneficial to Peters and his mandate; it is also beneficial to every person that sits around the table and the organizations that they represent. The members have come to see that many problems faced as hikers or ATV riders are the same, and the best way to move forward is as a consolidated group, willing to compromise and collaborate. Residents of Chilliwack are lucky to have an organization such as CRAG representing their backcountry recreation interests. We are all trying to strive for the same things. We want better access to the places that we love and we all want our passion and our pursuit to be supported and to be passed on to other people so that they too can enjoy

what we have come to love. If you have asked yourself ‘what would I get out of joining a hiking, biking or ATV club?’, think of what your voice, added to tens of thousands of other voices in the province, can do when advocating for the trails and recreation sites that you wish to use. I encourage you to get involved, because when you put your funding into an organization and you pay your club dues, you are paying for the tools that are maintaining your trails and a membership in an advocacy that speaks directly to those who manage our public lands. We truly can make a difference in the things that we deem important. “If you think you are too small to make a difference, you have never been to bed with a mosquito.” — Anonymous “There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.” — Dr. Denis Waitley

WISDOM TEETH

The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in a space that should hold only 28 teeth. These four teeth are your third molars, also known as “wisdom teeth.” Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth, usually by the age of 18. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and

even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. When they are partially erupted, the opening around the teeth allows bacteria to grow and will eventually cause an infection. In most cases, the removal of wisdom teeth is performed under local anesthesia, laughing gas (nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia) or general anesthesia. Our services are provided in an environment of optimum safety that utilizes modern monitoring equipment and staff who are experienced in anesthesia techniques.

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

Of all the Feng Shui techniques for improving the good fortune of your home, colour is among the easiest to understand and apply, because colour has a universal influence. Bright primary colours tend to make us feel cheerful, while dark colours have a more sobering effect. In Feng Shui theory, red is considered a very auspicious, energetic colour, and red flowering plants are often used as remedies for “dead” areas. Green represents tranquility and new beginnings, so healthy green plants can be placed on either side of the home’s entrance to attract positive energy and improve the vitality of the residents. A dark entrance foyer can be well lit with warm light that welcomes visitors into the home. Feng Shui principles offer ways to be creative in making your home more pleasing to live in and help set the stage for selling your home.

“Feng Shui” (pronounced “fung shway”) is a traditional Chinese art of home design that has been rediscovered by contemporary designers. Feng Shui is referred to as “the art of placement.” It offers ways to enhance nearly every aspect of our lives by skillfully combining colour, lighting and both living and non-living objects in an environment. Although Feng Shui is a complex art, many basic principles can be applied when considering how to improve the look of your home. If you’re planning to sell your home, you may want to implement a few changes based on Feng Shui secrets before opening your door to buyers. Feng Shui is based on ancient theories regarding ways to enhance our physical wellness, mental clarity, mood and financial prosperity by arranging certain key elements in the home’s interior and exterior. The art of Feng Shui is to create balance in the environment, and “cure” any areas where there is disharmony, disrepair, or other defects that are thought to create misfortune in the home. The cures are intended to increase the positive energy of luck, and thereby improve the quality of the residents’ lives. Feng Shui cures usually involve the artful combination of one or more of the following elements: (1) bright or light-reflecting objects such as mirrors or lamps; (2) objects that produce sounds such as wind chimes or bells; (3) living objects such as plants, flowers or fish aquariums; (4) moving objects such as mobiles and

Rebels double up winless Huskers big penalties coming at key times in the game.” The Huskers took 16 fouls for 135 yards, a big reason why they lost despite holding a significant statistical edge. Smtih felt the running game clicked for the first time this season, but the passing game sputtered. Quarterback Dylan La Prairie struggled, completing 12 of 28 passes. R.J. Begg relieved him in the fourth quarter, going nine of 15. “It was more on the unit as a whole, and I think our receivers had a really rough night,” Smith said. “Some of the route running and effort... well, film room will be intense this week.” The defence played well. Jessie Smith had four tackles, a quarterback sack and two blocked kicks. Mike Wiens had a fumble recovery as the Huskers limited the Rebels to just 36 first half yards. Chilliwack now hits the road for five straight games, starting this weekend in Victoria. See valleyhuskers.org for more.

A game the Valley Huskers had high hopes of winning ended in disappointing defeat Saturday afternoon. A battle of winless BC Football Conference teams saw Victoria’s Westshore Rebels take a 28-14 decision, dropping the Huskers to 0-3. Cody Vinish and Nick Harper had touchdowns for the Huskers, who did a lot to shoot themselves in the foot. Chilliwack won the net-yardage battle 329 to 207. But penalties proved costly. One wiped out a 50 yard touchdown catch by Blake Draper. Another snuffed out a promising drive and forced the Huskers to settle for a Dan Erickson field goal try. His kick was blocked and returned for a Rebel major. “The last two games have gotten away from us because every penalty we take seems to take away a defensive stop or a score,” said Husker coach Adam Smith. “They’re not five yard offside penalties when we’re up by 20.

with the money designated to the 2014 midget AAA Western Baseball Association Championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an honour for CMBA to be chosen to host this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championships,â&#x20AC;? said Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It speaks well of the quality and leadership of local sport in our community.â&#x20AC;? The tournament will run Aug. 21-24 at Fairfield Island, with Chilliwack welcoming

five visiting teams. Without the ability to charge entry fees, CMBA was searching for ways to offset the various costs, including transportation and umpires. The government funding comes from Hosting BC, a grant program that funds competitive level events that support long-term athlete development plans for B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial sport organizations.

The University of the Fraser Valley menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team bombed the Kwantlen Eagles 5-2 in their first exhibition action. The game was played Saturday at UFVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new home at Abbotsford

secondary school. The team spent the last two years playing at Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Townsend Park. The Cascades and Eagles were tied 1-1 at halftime. UFVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s James Najman (Surrey) opened the scoring eight minutes in, but Kwantlen equalized at the 16 minute mark. A four-goal second half flurry made the difference for the Cascades.

rolling with an early goal. Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Connor MacMillan earned a penalty kick and wired it into the top left corner for the third Cascade strike. Rookie Elijah Sampson and veteran Justin Sekhon (Abbotsford) had the other tallies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the score was probably a true reflection,â&#x20AC;? said UFV coach Alan Errington, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but having said that, I think the score could have been 3-3 at halftime. I thought Kwantlen played very well and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a very good team. We dodged a couple bullets early on, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected in this part of the year.â&#x20AC;? Unhampered by the usual limits on substitutions, the Cascades cycled through sev-

eral players. Errington experimented with combinations and chemistry. Three goalkeepers, Ortiz, Alex Skrzeta, and Mason Woochuk, spent time in net. Several rookies, including Chilliwack FC product Grant Fadden, helped reinforce the defensive line. Overall, he was impressed with the contributions of his new recruits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the young players came on and really played well,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Cascades play another PACWEST conference member, Langara College, on Saturday in their only other home preseason game before leaving for an eight-day team trip to California. See ufvcascades.ca

Clapp finds form in Ottawa Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp went the distance in his latest PGA Tour Canada event, playing all four rounds at the Forces and Families Open. The tournament was played Thursday through Sunday at the Hylands Golf Club in Ottawa. Clapp was consistent, firing rounds of 70-7072-70. He got off to a quick start in round one, with birdies on four of the first nine holes. Still, he narrowly missed the cut line. His 140 through two rounds kept him playing while seven golfers with 141s went home. Clapp’s tournament highlight came in the fourth round, where he carded an eagle on the par-five eighth hole. His final scorecard counted 13 birdies plus that eagle against 13 bogeys. He took 282 strokes. Clapp didn’t have any disastrous holes, and finished in a tie for 64th overall. This was the inaugural edition of the Forces and Families Open, organized to benefit the Military Families

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION

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 greatgrandpa. 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.’ Memorial Service will be held on Friday, August 15, 2014 at 1:30pm at the Chilliwack Alliance Church, 8700 Young Rd. Chilliwack, BC. Henderson’s Funeral Homes & Crematorium in care of arrangements, 604-792-1344. www.hendersonsfunerals.com

In Loving memory of

Harley deJong 1978 - July 17, 2014

Harley is survived by his parents Stan and Brenda deJong; sister Melissa; daughters Brooklyn and Rue, spouse Melanie; also grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends. I know you will ﬁnd a soft cloud, a cozy place to take a nap perhaps another angel will let you curl up in her lap. I’ll picture you singing with the angels or leading a hand, I know you will say yes to whatever is asked, this must be part of God’s master plan. I know there is a place in heaven for a son so kind, loving and true, all of God’s creatures are precious but none as precious as you. We love you and will all miss you so much Harley.

She is survived by her loving husband, Alvin Born, her daughter Paige, and her three sisters, Hariett, Louise, and Margaret. There was a small graveside service in Ladysmith, B.C. attended by immediate family, where her ashes remain alongside her predeceased mother, as by her request. The family rests in the fact that her suffering is over and she has gone home to be with her heavenly father.

Logan John Robert (Bob, Bobbo, JR) John Robert (Bob, Bobbo, JR) Logan passed away suddenly on July 25th in 100 Mile House doing what he loved; fixing things, feeding animals and drinking a cold one.

‘Laurie’ Gudmundur Laurence

Laurie Helgason passed into the presence of the Lord on July 22, 2014 in Chilliwack, BC. He was born May 20, 1926 to Mundi and Teenie Helgason on the family farm in the Icelandic community of Arnes, near Gimli, Manitoba where he lived and worked most of his life. As a commercial fisherman on Lake Winnipeg, he partnered with his father, cousins and close friends from his early youth. Laurie was exceptionally gifted with his hands and completed automotive and heavy duty mechanic training at Muscar Engineering in Winnipeg, MB, going on to work in Motor Transport at RCAF Station Gimli until it closed in 1971. He completed advanced welding and precision machining courses, worked in the ship building industry at Gimli, and established a successful automotive repair business near Arnes, MB. Laurie loved hunting, dancing, photography and travelling with family and friends. Laurie was exceptionally kind and gentle, using his remarkable mechanical talent to help others at every opportunity. He was a man of few and softly spoken words – always considerate, and often followed by a soft chuckle. 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. In 2005 Laurie moved to Chilliwack to be near his sister and brother-in-law, Grace and Richard. He soon took up residence at the Waverly Seniors Village in Chilliwack, where he enjoyed nine years of wonderful care and activities. His family especially wish to thank all the staff – Laurie’s friends – at the Waverly, which he considered ‘home,’ and the Reverend John Sovereign and the Reverend Jennifer Burgoyne, his pastors from St. Thomas Anglican Church, and all the volunteers and visitors who blessed his final years with their music and friendship. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, August 16, 2014 at 11:00 am at St. Thomas Anglican Church, 46048 Gore Avenue, Chilliwack BC, with interment to take place at a later date in Arnes, MB. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Thomas Church Fund. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca.

Dottie lived at the Lynnwood Retirement Home for the last two years of her life, where she made many wonderful friendships with people whom she called her family. At the Lynnwood, she lived life to the fullest, enjoying each and every day. Being a double amputee did not deter her from living a life full of activity and happiness. Dottie was an “Ambassador” at the Lynnwood Retirement Home and at the Chilliwack General Hospital. She took on these responsibilities with loving and caring dedication. She also served with the Salvation Army for many years during their Christmas “kettle drives” at the Cottonwood Mall. Once you met Dottie, you never forgot her! She will be dearly missed by her family, friends and acquaintances. The family would like to thank all of the doctors, nurses and medical staff at Chilliwack General Hospital for their professionalism and compassionate care of mom during the last few days of her life. There will be no funeral upon request. She loved the Lord; he was her strength and endurance. Dottie now rests in his loving arms, a place she will be eternally grateful for.
