Don’t even think of flicking a lit cigarette butt right now. From backyards to the back country of Chilliwack, it’s really dry out there. That means heightened fire risk and extra vigilance by everyone is needed to prevent fires from breaking out, say officials.

The Chilliwack area has already seen a few hedge fires, bark mulch fires, and grass fires, and the Fraser Valley Regional District has had to put out a few wildfires. Axelson is an avid hiker, and said she noticed the impact of much less rain than usual in the region’s typically damp forested areas. “It’s very dry and that means lots of dried out fuel on the forest floor,” she said. Anyone heading up the popular Teapot Hill, for example, will notice it’s even dry in areas that usually stay moist. “The fuel load is just huge,” she said. Anyone using incendiary devices, including smoking materials, need to make sure they’re not dropped onto bark mulch, flicked on highway medians, or carelessly extinguished on the forest floor in the back country.

Two Vancouver men left a dinghy on Harrison Lake two days ago and have not been seen since. On Monday, June 8, a group of eight friends decided to beat the heat by floating in a dinghy on Harrison Lake. Two of the friends decided to leave the drifting dingy to swim ashore, approximately 400 metres north of the boat rental dock in front of the Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa. At approximately 5:45 p.m. Monday evening, RCMP received a report that the two men, aged 23 and 25, both from Vancouver, had not been seen since leaving the dingy. RCMP, Kent Harrison Search and Rescue (KHSAR) and Chilliwack Search and Rescue conducted a search. KHSAR deployed two boats, two seadoos and most of their membership, to search eight square kilometres of Harrison Lake, the shoreline and the current of the Harrison River. RCMP also dispatched a boat. They were assisted by Chilliwack Search and Rescue who sent a ground crew of five to search the Sandy Cove trail and area. The search continued all day Tuesday, June 9 on the lake and Harrison river. According to RCMP, after exhausting all efforts to locate the missing swimmers, RCMP suspended their search by end of day Tuesday. “The area is immense and after a thorough search the missing men have not been found” said Sgt. J.D. Fredette of Agassiz Community Policing Office. By Wednesday morning, after discussions with RCMP’s underwater recovery team, KHSAR was requested to use their side scan sonar to search the lakebed in the approximate area where the two subjects were last seen. According to Neil Brewer with KHSAR, the search was scheduled to end at 4 p.m. today, pending further information. Continued: SEARCH/ p6

Trustees reject proposal to record board meetings Jessica Peters The Progress School board trustees have pressed pause on the idea of posting video recordings of board meetings online. On Tuesday, trustee Heather Maahs presented a motion “that the board instruct staff to implement the recording of board meetings at minimal cost, and post the recording on the school district’s website by the Friday immediately following the board meeting.” But the motion was met with questions about costs, and whether there really is an appetite for such a service.

Trustee Dan Coulter pointed out that paying the least amount possible could lead to a poor quality, and that he couldn’t support the idea without first seeing the full cost. “This is a budget item,” he said. “We are spending money and we need to know what it costs.” Director of Instruction Kirk Savage had presented three separate options for recordings to the board in April. The most expensive option would have cost about $26,000 for set up. But Savage was absent from Tuesday’s meeting and there was no mention of the past information presented. “I don’t want to approve some-

thing I don’t have a handle on,” said Trustee Walt Krahn, and Trustee Paul McManus said that perhaps in the future, when the board is not under so much financial pressure, the idea would be a good one. Board chair Silvia Dyck said the issue has not come up in consultation with the community, and doesn’t “directly serve students.” And while Trustee Martha Wiens seemed favourable to the idea, saying that parents “don’t know what we’re doing and they need this,” she ended up abstaining from the eventual vote. Only Trustee Barry Neufeld supported Maahs motion, and he

did so while attending the meeting via a video call. The fact he was speaking to the board with the help of technology bolstered his argument. “I would say you have the technology already,” he told his cohorts. “It’s coming through loud and clear.” By the end of the discussion, Maahs threw her hands up and asked to postpone the idea until the board could look at more options. “That’s fine,” Maahs said. “I’ve said my piece and this board will do what this board will do.” She had hoped to pass the task off to district staff. She wanted to “ask the staff to

■ S TRAWBERRY T EA T IME

use ingenuity to make this work for us.” With Maahs and Neufeld in favour, Wiens abstaining and the remainder voting against the motion, it failed. And while they had discussed finding more information on the costs, they did not vote to direct staff to report back. Some school districts do post recordings of their meetings in addition to the minutes, including the Fraser Cascade, which provides an audio-only recording after the meeting has ended. Abbotsford’s and Mission’s do not provide recordings. jpeters@theprogress.com

Ridership on the FVX is rising steadily Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Hank Menkveld serves strawberry shortcake to guests along with fellow Lions Helena Tetteroo and Alice Cain during the Mt. Cheam Lions’ first ever Strawberry Social at their hall on Saturday. Nearly 100 people bought tickets for the event and more than $1,000 was raised for the Cyrus Centre. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

The Fraser Valley Express bus is getting traction after only two months on the road. An average weekday sees 200 people boarding the #66, nicknamed the FVX, which goes from Chilliwack to Abbotsford and then on to Langley, where they can access Trans Link. FVX ridership is “steadily” increasing, according to a news release from BC Transit. They offer 17 round trips on weekdays and another four on Saturdays. FVRD parks assistant Meghan Stewart noticed that ridership has been increasing on the #66. “It’s a lot better than driving,” said Stewart. “It’s relaxing and spacious. I even made a few friends on the bus.” Before the FVX she would spend $120 a month on bridge tolls and driving. “Now, I ride my bike to the bus and spend two hours reading,” she said. “The bus has made my commute from Maple Ridge to Chilliwack both affordable and enjoyable.” Continued: FVX/ p12

Agriculture on the menu Monday in Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The future of agriculture in B.C. will be the focus of the Opposition Standing Committee for Agriculture and Food all day Monday in Chilliwack. They’re ready to record the public presentations at UFV, and spaces were filling up fast this week, MLA Lana Popham told The Progress. Popham is the chair of the committee coming to Chilliwack. “The producers tend to bring their enthusiasm and commitment to growing food with them,” she said.

SINCE 1973

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED 6/15F_LF5

“That why I love this file so much.” Even though the committee is operating ad hoc, they’ve already been very successful so far. The way Popham gauges Lana Popham “success” is by the number of presenters who sign up. “We were fully booked in both Williams Lake and Comox. So that’s been fan-

tastic,” said Popham. One of the topics raised was carbon offsets and the trend of planting trees on farmland. “That issue is gaining some profile,” she said. Another is how to make it easier for young people to start farming, or how to access land and financing. In Chilliwack, the committee also expects to hear from the dairy sector, as well as those who grow hazelnuts, and are faced with the impacts of blight. Climate change will likely come up in the presentations. “I don’t think we can avoid it.”

Some have characterized the Opposition committee as “political” but Popham said it’s much more than that. They’re asking specifically how the current provincial agricultural policies are affecting the Fraser Valley, and other farm communities, and how they could be made more balanced. “It’s becoming more important, and not just for farmers or big agriculture, but for so many other parts of the community, like food security activists or restaurant owners to get a chance to express their views about the future of agriculture.” Continued: FOOD/ p6

The Opposition Standing Committee for Agriculture and Food will be in Chilliwack on Monday.

Right to pot in various forms upheld in court Jeff Nagel Black Press Medical marijuana patients have a right to possess and use cannabis in the form of cookies and products other than dried bud, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday. The unanimous decision is a major victory for cannabis crusaders who argued they should not be forced only to smoke or vaporize the drug when edible or topical products are safer and provide benefits such as delayed delivery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inhaling marihuana can present health risks and is less effective for some conditions than administration of cannabis derivatives,â&#x20AC;? the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high court ruled. It found the federal drug law exemption allowing medical pot patients access only to dried marijuana violated their constitutional right to life, liberty and security of the person. The ruling upholds the decision by B.C. courts that dismissed drug trafficking charges against Owen Smith, a Victoria man caught baking pot cookies for a local compassion club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great decision from the point of view of all medically approved patients,â&#x20AC;? said Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy, one of the lawyers who defended Smith before the Supreme Court. Conroy is optimistic the Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling will also guide another pending case in which medical marijuana patients have argued before a Federal Court judge that they should be allowed to continue growing their own pot at home, instead of buying only from new commercial producers authorized by Ottawa. In that case as well, Conroy and co-counsel Kirk Tousaw argued similar constitutional rights are in play â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â that medical marijuana users are deprived reasonable access if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to buy from commercial producers and that they then risk jail if they grow it themselves or buy on the black market. That trial took place this spring and the judge has reserved decision. Conroy predicts Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling will also allow commercial producers to start offering cannabis edibles and topicals, rather than just dried pot. The Supreme Court did not give the federal government time to pass new regulations and instead issued an immediate order that the old restriction was no longer in force. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not yet clear how Ottawa will respond, but it could regulate pot derivatives through a different mechanism. Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose told reporters marijuana is not an approved medicine and criticized the ruling for contributing to the normalization of marijuana use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m outraged by the message that judges are sending that they think that they can approve a drug into a medicine without clear medical scientific evidence and without safety reviews,â&#x20AC;? Ambrose said. She cited 36 cases of people being hospitalized after becoming ill from ingesting marijuana edibles at Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent 4/20 pot celebration.

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION • SAT. JUNE 13

Reg Ens, executive director of the B.C. Agriculture Council, said they are set to make a presentation. “We’re still working on what we’re going to say,” he said. But Ens praised the opportunity. “We think it’s really good to do this. Discussion and debate is at the core of the democratic process.” He supports the creation of a long-term provincial strategy on agriculture. “There isn’t one but there needs to be. A 50-year timeline horizon would help steer the shorter term planning and decision-making.” With more than 250 commodities or ag products it’s both “a strength and weakness” for B.C. to have such a diverse industry, he said. A national strategy would also help, to give them a “lens” to look at policy through, said Ens. “It’s all about how to balance everything, from food production, jobs, the economy, the environment and housing. It’s not all black

and white. We have to decide what we’re willing to trade off as a society, and that changes over time.” The committee is using a Go Pro to record presentations with plans to post them after the tour. Since it’s not a legislative standing committee, they do not get Hansard support, but still want to make the information public eventually. In anticipation of the Chilliwack visit by Opposition MLAs, Chilliwack MLA John Martin prepared a Top 10 list of why the agriculture industry is flourishing across B.C., and in the Fraser Valley particularly. “I know the NDP always likes to paint a picture of doom and gloom, but they need to look at the facts,” said Martin. “So I prepared a top ten list for those less familiar with the success that we are currently enjoying in agriculture, and point out the growing demand for delicious B.C. products,” His list ranges from No. 1 “Local products taste good” all the way to No. 10 “Feel inspired by your food.” One of the reasons is UFV

Chilliwack’s Centre of Excellence for Agriculture. Martin also pointed out that B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick declared “a record year” for the industry in April, with agrifood exports growing 11 per cent in 2014, reaching the highest total ever, just short of $3 billion. “If the Opposition really wants a taste of the Fraser Valley, they should come here on a Saturday instead and visit the Downtown Chilliwack Farmers’ Market,” Martin added. “I encourage everyone to buy local and support our farmers, like what we are doing through the B.C Buy Local Program, and investing $6 million to promote farmers and their products.” Five opposition MLAs and one independent MLA are on the tour. The public presentations are Monday, June 15 at University of the Fraser Valley, CEP Campus, Room A2207, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Contact lana.popham.mla@ leg.bc.ca or call 250-479-4154 to arrange a time. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

She started playing as a young girl in the ‘70s in Coquitlam, but was often shuffled to the backyard while her brothers were able to play on teams. But they couldn’t keep her away from the field, and Russell became one of the “pioneer girls” of the B.C. soccer world. She has created a seven minute video chronicling the successes of her team and others, as the sports world slowly accepting girls soccer into the fold.

Just one of the many clippings included in Anne Russell’s video on B.C.’s pioneering female soccer players. Russell was invited onto CBC’s Our Vancouver for an upcoming segment.

The video caught the attention of CBC producers, and on Wednesday, Russell was travelling into that broadcaster’s television studios to discuss her story in person. She is being interviewed on Our Vancouver, with Duncan McCue. “I played in the backyard,” she says in the

video. “I was told that girls don’t play soccer.” “That can’t be a rule,” she told herself then, in disbelief. “But it was.” That all changed when she nine, when she took her place on the roster for the Blue Mountain Royals. In 1973, there were only three girls soccer clubs across B.C.,

she says. “By 1980, there were 317 teams in B.C. In 2002, there were more than 307,000 women and girls playing national.” Russell feels it’s an important story, and with her experience as a writer and communications coordinator for the University of Fraser Valley, she has the talent

to tell it. “I had the lucky experience of being part of the first generation of girls to play organized soccer in B.C. This video is the final assignment for a course I took on digital storytelling, and it chronicles the development of girls’ soccer in BC in the 1970s and ‘80s, in particular the Blue Mountain Soccer Club.” Russell still plays soccer today, in a Chilliwack women’s league, on the Rosedale Rockers, and encourages her children to love the sport as well. Three teams, the Blue Mountain Rangers, Devils, and Royals will be inducted into the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame on June 18. ‘Our Vancouver’ airs on Saturday (9 a.m.), Sunday (11 a.m.) and Monday (1 p.m.).

Put the Senate to a vote

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The auditor-general’s report into spending in Canada’s Senate is very disturbing reading — not because of horrible things done over time to a group of people, as was the case with generations of First Nations children — but because of the ongoing air of indifference to taxpayers and accountable spending. No less than 30 senators were cited for improper expenditures. While some are taking issue with the A-G’s findings, the standards he believes should govern spending are pretty basic. A-G Michael Ferguson stated that senators should not be billing for personal trips. They should not be charging for taxis, meals and gifts which have nothing to do with official business, or billing taxpayers for non-Senate business. They should be keeping detailed and accurate records of all their spending, personal and Senate-related. Any claims for reimbursement should be submitted promptly, and posted online so that the taxpayers who ultimately pay the bills can see how their dollars are used. Senators should not have the last word on what is considered acceptable spending, or action following investigation of their spending. They are paid by taxpayers, and taxpayers expect that those doing public business, whether in Ottawa, Victoria or Langley, are as careful with their money as individuals are in day-to-day activities. The reckless approach to using taxpayers’ dollars by a significant number of senators, and the possibility that criminal charges may be laid against some of those who have been audited, has caused a shift in public opinion. Many people are now backing the NDP pledge to eliminate the Senate. There is certainly a better case for doing so than ever before. The Supreme Court has basically shut the door on Senate reform, given that it requires unanimity from all provinces. Abolition also requires unanimity. However, provincial governments could be pressured if there was a national plebiscite question on whether to abolish the Senate, as part of October’s federal election. Many voices have called for such a vote, and it seems an appropriate way to move forward on this issue. ~ Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

A moment’s misjudgment can lead to trouble Last week’s tragic hiking accident is a stark reminder of the sudden dangers people encounter hiking the local mountains. It all looks so easy and inviting until one wrong step leads to challenges or, in the case of Sukhjeet Saggu of Surrey, tragedy. Last Friday he was hiking the popular Lindeman Lake trail with friends and separated from his group. They expected to meet up with him at the lake but when he couldn’t be found they called the RCMP who alerted Chilliwack Search and Rescue. It wasn’t until the next day after an extensive air and ground search that his body was found at the base of the bolder field between Lindeman and Greendrop lakes. The local mountains are a magnet for day and weekend trips by folks from the Fraser Valley,

Lower Mainland and Vancouver. Hikers, campers, climbers, kayakers, mountain bikers, dirt and ATV bikers as well as all kinds of people training for their chosen outdoor summer or winter sport venture to their favourite spots. Many want to get in shape with some fun activity, enjoy Margaret a much needed EVANS change of pace, or expose their children to backcountry travel. Some paraglide or hang glide, others swim or enjoy boating in lakes, and many will backcountry ski in winter. In the fall, hunters frequent the trails for game and an opportunity to put venison on the table.

The trail to Lindeman Lake is considered pretty easy and a great half-day hike unless you go on to Greendrop Lake and beyond. An inviting trail, the excitement of backcountry exploration, and a welcome picnic by a wilderness lake are irresistible lures. And it is easy to take safety so casually for granted, especially when the trail looks so inviting. Decades ago I was hiking in Banff National Park one hot, dry midsummer day. I needed some mountain film footage for a nature documentary my husband and I were making for Alberta Department of Education so I was carrying film equipment in my backpack as well as a bulky tripod, standard issue of the day. A game trail wove across an old rockslide which I knew would be a shortcut to the trail I needed

www.theprogress.com ContactUs: w

The Chilliwack

Progress

to access to return to my car. So without much further thought, I set out. But halfway across, the rocks below the trail began to slip and I could feel the trail destabilize. I couldn’t go back; I could only go forward on hands and knees, pushing my backpack ahead of me while dragging the tripod behind. I needed to spread the weight. What I thought would be a 10-minute walk across the rockslide became an endurance test of several harrowing hours as I inched myself across while desperately avoiding anything that would further disturb the slide. It was poor judgment on my part that lured me across that rock slide. And I learned rapidly the lessons of consequences. But while I resolved the situation others might not.

Sixty to 70 times every year, Chilliwack Search and Rescue is called out to help people in trouble because of a sudden mishap, injury from a fall, getting lost, or making poor decisions that put them in trouble. CSAR responds to emergencies anywhere in 1,100 square miles of wilderness and they are highly skilled in all aspects of searching difficult and challenging terrain. Backcountr y travel, even a short hike to a local lake, is beset with the perils of poor judgment. Make rules that include dressing appropriately starting with hiking boots and layered clothing, tell someone else the hiking plan (trail heads/routes), hike with others, stay together, carry water, snacks, cell phone. Enjoy the backcountr y, but know your limitations.

AGASSIZ COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE IS PLEASED TO WELCOME:

The Chilliwack

Progress

Dr. Adaora Ezeaputa Family Practice Physician Dr. Ezeaputa joins the team:

Math skills critical to future success Mathematics, not unlike reading, is a basic human right today. Children who fail to develop high level of skills in these subjects are shut out of the most interesting and rewarding careers. Of course, to be employable in the modern economy, high school graduates need to be more than merely literate and numerate. In particular, knowledge of algebra and geometry divides the unskilled and clerical jobs from the better-paying, upwardly mobile positions available to high school graduates. Frances Rosamond of National University estimates that starting salaries go up $2,000 per year for every math course taken after Grade 9. As mathematician Lynn Osen puts it, business today needs people “who can understand a simple formula, read a graph, and interpret a statement about probability.” Sadly, what we have is a culture that does not appreciate math and even fosters a fear of the subject. Serious deficiencies in math achievement among the general population are fairly well documented. According to the International Adult Literacy Survey, approximately 43 per cent of Canadians are at a basic or low numeracy level. This means that about four in 10 Canadians struggle with everyday numeracy tasks, such as understanding and using media information, purchasing and converting measurements. Closer to home, a large number of our students has not been doing too well in math for some time now. For example, the local Grade 7 numbers trailed the province in reading and numeracy: 64 vs. 69 per cent in reading and only 58 vs. 71 in numeracy – A statistic of shame.

We must bring more students out of the basement and into the top categories. But how? Now, those identified as having problems in math generally exhibit two types of deficits: the first has to do with the lack of mastery of computational skills. The second category of math deficits involves trouble with math applications, including areas such as money, measurement, time and word problems. Just as students who fail to master decoding are unlikely to succeed in comprehending what they read, so those with the computational skill deficit will have trouble applying and reasoning with those skills. In a nutshell, when it comes to math, words count. Remember, enthusiasm for the so-called ‘discovery learning’ is not supported by research evidence,which broadly favors direct instruction. Also, for both reading and math, children’s performance at the end of elementary school is an important predictor of their ultimate educational success. Because of the sequential nature of math, skill deficits become cumulative, so that students fall farther behind with each passing grade. Professor Kenneth Gross of the University of Vermont has written, “All mathematics depends on what kids do in the elementary grades. If you don’t do it right you’re doing remedial work all the way up to college.” Unfortunately, we aren’t doing it right. Research suggests that in most cases, poor math achievement may be more related to systemic disabilities arising from the shortcomings of current text books and instructional practices rather than to learning disabilities inherent in students themselves. A core prob-

lem is that many teachers – particularly at the elementary level – may not know math themselves well enough. Others have not been shown effective ways of teaching it. To repeat, when it comes to the teaching of mathematics, the stakes are high. Without adequate foundation in arithmetic skills and concepts from elementary school, middle school students are unable to progress in algebra. Without strong foundations in algebraic skills and ideas, the door to subsequent meaningful math courses will be closed. A domino effect begins in elementary grades and works its way up the educational ladder, thus throttling the normal process of producing competent corps of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians the society so badly needs in this era of international competition. Conclusion? Whatever you do, don’t ever let a child get more than six months behind in math. Catching up after that can be nearly impossible. To succeed, what you really need is a hook, a structured program that is not ‘a mile wide and an inch deep’. For best results follow the world’s top program – Math: the Singapore Way. The Singaporean program moves gradually, one step at a time, from concrete illustrations (objects) to visual illustrations (pictures) and finally to abstract concepts to enable students to learn math meaningfully. It expects students to master skills early and to continue using those as courses grow more advanced. Thus, students learn math smoothly and with understanding. Good luck. Lal Sharma,PH.D. Former University Professor, SchoolTrustee

Time to stop bashing the NDP RE: Dick Harrington’s letter on NDP. Yes I agree. The media, which seems to be dancing to the tune of the neocons, are just full of loathing and scathing remarks re: NDP. However, Jack Layton spent a lifetime earning respect and caring for people, as evidenced by his funeral. I can tell you should the same happen to Harper, precious few

who care would show up. [Rachel] Notely’s father lived and worked in the Peace River. I worked there also. Not one person ever spoke a negative word about him. Most said he was honest to the last cent. (Few can say that about the current politicians in power, supposedly right wing bible belt people.) Notely has had the most foul things said

about her and how she will leave the economy. But doubt she could do worse. It is time for people to get involved and stop the entitlement that’s going on. It is hard to do that when there are so many ugly comments online. Tommy Douglas did this country a favor yet not many take the time to be grateful. In a Bellingham bank a few

“What can we do to stop elder abuse?” is a question often asked of Darlene Wahlstrom, coordinator of Chilliwack Victim Services and Michelle Wulff from Chilliwack Crime Prevention Services. Their answer is prevention through education. Monday June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and staff from Chilliwack Victim Services will be at a kiosk hosted by Community Response Network from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00

p.m. at Walmart in Eagle Landing to provide information on how to recognize and respond to elder abuse. Abuse may take the form of financial, physical, sexual, or psychological. Often warning signs are not recognized. A sudden change in wills, unusual bank withdrawals, a person rarely seen in the neighbourhood, frightened of certain family members or care givers, unexplained injuries, or declin-

ing health can be clues to abuse. “Sadly we see abuse of our elders around us all of the time and it is heart breaking to know in many instances it is not reported,” said Darlene Wahlstrom. For more information on the topic of elder abuse as well as other crime prevention programs contact Chilliwack Crime Prevention Services at 604-3933000 or stop by the office located at 45877 Wellington Avenue.

Fire officials urge caution as season heats up FIRE from Front A lit cigarette butt can smoulder for hours. “The smoker could be miles away by the

time the fire flares up,” she said. The BC Forest outlook for fire season of June 4 noted the lowsnow pack and dry con-

ditions. There were 392 wildfires already reported across B.C., and that’s even before fire season started. Most were due

to lightening strikes. The 10-year average was only 285 fires. Pine beetle kill is a factor because dead wood adds to the fuel

loads. There were 39,278 hectares burnt as of June 4, according to the season outlook, compared to the 10-year

average of only 7,869 ha, which is almost five times as many. “So everyone needs to be monitoring what they’re doing in the

backcountry as well as in their own backyards.” Be careful with wood and fuel. Ensure safety with hot coals from barbecues by transferring them into a steel bucket. Make sure the embers are out before they go into the composter. Stay on top of it by checking out the Facebook page, Chilliwack Fire Department, run by Axelson. Coastal Fire Centre officials announced June 10 that Category 2 and 3 open fires are prohibited until Oct. 16, and the expansion of the existing prohibition is to “help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.” The prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands within the Coastal Fire Centre. It does not prohibit campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide or smaller, and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. Specifically, the prohibition applies to: • the burning of any material (piled or unpiled) smaller than two metres in height and three metres in width; • the burning of stubble or grass fires over an area less than 2,000 square metres; • the use of fireworks, firecrackers, sky lanterns, burning barrels orburning cages of any size or description; and • the use of binary exploding targets (e.g., for rifle target practice). About eight litres of water should be kept available onsite to properly put out the fire. Campfires must never be left unattended and must be completely extinguished before leaving the site. To report a wildfire, call 1 800 663-5555 tollfree or *5555 on a cellphone.

Church bells rang out longer than usual across the country on Wednesday as some of Canada’s 3,000-plus congregations celebrated the 90th anniversary of the United Church of Canada. Each participating church rang its bell 90 times to mark the special occasion. In Chilliwack, it was especially important to Jean Mitchell. She’s been part of the congregation at Carman United Church her entire life. At 89, she’s been alive almost as long as the United Church of Canada (UCC) has existed. Mitchell was the first of 30 Carman parishioners who each rang the bell three times. It began at precisely 10:30 a.m. That time, 90 years ago, marked the inaugural service celebrating the formation of UCC. UCC was formed on June 10, 1925 in Toronto when the Methodist Church of Canada, the Congregational Union of Canada and 70 percent of the Presbyterian Church of Canada united. The bell tower at Carman United Church rang in its 40th anniversary at the same time on Wednesday.

Rev. Rod Mackinnon reads a prayer prior to the ringing of the church bell. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

In 1975, after 17 years of the church’s bell being in storage, it was dusted off and hung in the new outdoor tower. The bell tower was built by Don Kickbush in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the UCC. Chilliwack United Church and Rosedale United Church also celebrated by ringing their church bells 90 times.

Language skill earns student trip to Germany Jessica Peters The Progress If you see Jordan Sheffield in the next few weeks, make sure to tell him, “herzlichen Glückwünsche!” That would be congratulations in German, and the Grade 11 Sardis secondary student has earned it. He is one of a select few students from around the world who have been invited to enjoy and explore Germany, based on their mastery of that country’s language. The German government’s ministry of education and cultural affairs runs a prestigious test which asks students to write an essay in German. Everyone around the world who chooses to write the test, does so on the same day. The competition is fierce but the prize of an educational trip to Germany is priceless. While the contest is open to all students from non-German speaking families, it’s not often that B.C. public school students win. That trend could be changing. One of last year’s winners was from a Prince George public high school, and this year, Sheffield, 17, will join another student from Abbotsford. A recent change to the timing of the test has made it more possible for semestered schools to take part, opening the pool for all German-speaking students. While the trip does include travel and sightseeing, it also includes class time and plenty of time for cultural exchange. All of the winners are divided into groups that consist of people from other participating countries. In Sheffield’s group of students, there are three Brazillians, two Columbians, two Swiss, two Russians and two Poles, along with him and another Canadian from Manitoba. And one of the only things they’ll have in common is their shared knowledge of German. While they’re grouped together for much of the trip, the nine Canadians taking part will need to put together a cultural presentation for the others. And that presentation will be entirely in German. Sheffield has learned the language relatively quickly, under the guidance of languages teacher John Warkentin-Scott. He only

started learning German this school year, but he’s also tried his hand at Swedish and Turkish. “I just really love languages,” Sheffield says. “And German is very set in its rules, and very good at making efficient words.” His teacher said Sheffield is perfect for the trip, because he’s used to travel and eager to learn. “He’s doing a good job and four weeks in Germany will be an amazing boost,” Warkentin-Scott said. “There’s nothing like it.” Being fluent in a language

can only come with chances for conversation, and there is plenty of chance for that in WarkentinScott’s classroom. The kids play German versions of board games, including Monopoly and Settlers of Cattan (which is originally from Germany.) Speaking English in those gaming sessions will cost you, but speaking another language such as French is more acceptable. “We speak about 90 per cent German,” Sheffield said. His conversation skills are likely to improve both speaking, and

while reading and writing, thanks to technology. Many of the student winners in Sheffield’s group have already connected online. “We’ve connected on Facebook, and that’s forced me to use my language skills more,” he said. “It’s the one common language between all the languages that we speak.” Getting to know someone in a different country is a great way to keep up language skills, Warkentin-Scott added. Because even if you master a language, it takes work to keep the knowledge.

“If you stop using it, it’s like a muscle and it will atrophy,” he said. That’s not likely to happen to Sheffield this summer. As part of the trip, the students will attend classes there for three hours every day for the two of the weeks, Beyond the fun and learning Sheffield will experience in Germany it could also turn into a fact-finding trip for when he eventually graduates from Sardis. He’s considering studying at university there, for “something in the sciences.”

Community & ADULT CARRIERS NEEDED! Students learn healing power of plants YOUTH Discover a great way to earn extra money Jessica Peters The Progress A group of young local students have learned about the healing powers of plants, and about the joys of winning a provincewide contest. Chilliwack Landing Preschool and Kindergarten decided to enter a poster contest, held by FORED BC. The annual contest celebrates the rich cultural and heritage traditions of B.C.’s aboriginal people, and this year’s was traditional knowledge and medicine. They turned to Halq’emeylem language teacher Eunice Ned, whose Halq’emeylem name is Howlaxiye, for guidance. The children were taken out by Howlaxiye and taught about healing powers of indigenous plants. She showed them plantain (slhawels te pipeho:m)

Eunice Ned teaches a group of students about the medicinal properties of plants.

and stinging nettle (th’exth’ex), says the school’s kindergarten teacher Caroline Humchitt. The lesson was as intriguing for the teachers as it was for the students, Humchitt adds. “It was really interesting,” she says. “We suggested she come and

teach us at a professional day so we can carry on the knowledge.” They took photos and compiled all the info onto a poster board, and submitted it to FORED. They learned this week that they took first place

for primary. “We all yahooed and cheered,” Humchitt says. The class won a cash prize of $50, which will be spent on a small class party. Of course, Howlaxiye will be receiving an invite. Their poster was among hundreds of entries. Other winners in the contest were students from Penticton and Halfmoon Bay. One of the judges noted that the Chilliwack Landing poster taught him something useful. “Who would have thought stinging nettles could be a vitamin-rich source of food and a useful treatment for sore muscles and joints? I learn something new every year through this truly educational contest,” says Victor Godin, FORED’s educational director.

The City of Chilliwack is implementing an automated billing system to invoice property owners for false alarms which will come into full effect in September 2015.

What is a false alarm? A false alarm is the activation of an alarm system resulting in the attendance of the RCMP or the Fire Department at the property when there is no apparent or actual evidence to merit such a call. (See Bylaw No. 3747 for a full description.)

Why is the City implementing this bylaw? Starting in September 2015 the City will invoice property owners for false alarms in order to encourage people to reduce false alarms, which cause an unnecessary expense and take RCMP members or fire fighters away from real emergencies.

How can I avoid getting invoiced for a false alarm? Ensure that your security company calls you first in the event of an alarm. Thank you for taking steps today to ensure you minimize false alarms. Please visit chilliwack.com/falsealarm for more information.

Perspectives

Volunteerism still strong in Chilliwack, study finds survey in 2004, 2009 and now 2014. An overall finding from the 2014 survey was that respondents still consider Chilliwack to be a less complicated place to live, retaining some of its pastoral/ rural feel, although it is evident this is receding. Volunteering can Rob play a significant role in maintaining LEES and advancing the feeling of living in a less complicated and less stressful environment. Here’s the logic. Volunteerism is related to a sense of contribution. Contribution is related to a sense

Altruism is not dead. Nor is volunteerism. The Chilliwack Social Research and Planning Council has been concerned about both matters. In the 2014 Quality of Life research, the findings of which were recently released by the Council, there continues to be a fairly strong commitment to volunteerism. In fact, 45% of respondents reported volunteering in the last year. That number may not capture the myriad of small ways people contribute, but more importantly, the number has not decreased since 2004 when the survey was first instituted. When asked why they volunteer, the most prominent reason was “to improve the community.” That reasoning has stayed the same in the

of belonging. When we feel that we belong somewhere, we usually are more motivated to care for it and, ultimately, to feel safe. When we feel safe, we experience less stress. There’s no need to be on guard all the time. Volunteering is an opportunity to meet people and build a greater sense of community. There is a phrase coined in community psychology literature that speaks to this: place attachment. Fostering a sense of place attachment isn’t the responsibility of the welcome wagon, the City or any particular agency. Instead, it’s something we can all build through our volunteerism. Essentially, whether you’re working with Big Brothers, Community Services, your faith community, amateur

sports or Ann Davis Transition Services, it’s all for the common good. Volunteering and altruism make us feel like we belong, but they also create a more welcoming and generous social space for everyone. Former City Councillor and onetime School Administrator Mel Folkman told a story, the gist of which goes like this: As a new principal, he noticed that the school was being vandalized and the likely suspects were older kids, waiting for the bus to the secondary school. Mel wisely made a point to get to school early, and befriend and welcome these older students in. The vandalism stopped. Mel’s going above and beyond to welcome these students obviously

had an impact on their sense of place. The school now mattered to them because they had a sense that they mattered to it. There’s an old adage - “When you volunteer, you can get more than you give.” This concept is living on in a growing body of psychological literature on the value of giving to others. Giving creates biological and psychological changes that improve our state of wellbeing.

An initiative between RV Canada and Make-aWish Foundation is determined to see children with medical issues have a good time during an upcoming event near Chilliwack, at the launch of their first annual National RV Weekend in Canada. “It’s going to be a fun weekend,” said Chris Mahony, executive director of RV Canada. A new campaign called “Bring back Wildhood,” addresses the idea that many children have gotten away from what is rightfully theirs (those with and without medical issues.) A Wildhood is defined as the ability to roam free and enjoy the wilds of the Canadian camping lifestyle, precognizant of the digital era of smartphones and gaming. “We know that a childhood isn’t a childhood without some wild in it, but for children facing lifethreatening medical conditions, connecting with their Wildhoods can be difficult, so we are raising funds for Make-A-Wish to help provide a sense of wonder and magic for these children,” said Mahony. Make a wish lanterns will be set free at 10 p.m. on Saturday June 13th at Bridal Falls Camperland RV Resorts. Everyone is welcome to join in and the biodegradable lanterns will be available for $2 a piece with all proceeds going to the Make-aWish Foundation to help kids in need realize their dreams. “We want to celebrate and promote the RV lifestyle to those who haven’t yet experienced it. We have spectacular campgrounds in Canada and it is the season for camping adventures,” Mahony told Black Press. Lighting the lanterns is an ode to the great freedom of the Canadian outdoors and a nod to the power a foundation like Make-A-Wish has over the childhoods of those who are recovering or dealing with severe medical issues. “We’ve already received two requests from sick kids, who wanted nothing more than to bring mommy and daddy camping and that’s powerful,” said Mahony. The weekend of Saturday, June 13th and Sunday, June 14th will see the culmination of the inception of big dreaming. LED gardens have been utilized by the environmentally friendly organization to protect the site from fire and all the lanterns are biodegradable. All are welcome to come on down to celebrate Wildhood, Make-A-Wish and the great Canadian outdoors. By booking your stay and joining the crew, you can help provide children with hope, strength and joy.

etrated into your soil. Lawns, too, only need to be watered once a week during hot weather, but again, make sure you let the water penetrate down to the roots so they grow deep and the grass becomes more self-sufficient. This is why aeration of lawns in the spring and fall is so important. Aerating and then applying a ¼” layer of sharp sand will allow maximum penetration of water and will help your grass roots grow deep. The latest research from the turf industry also suggests keeping your grass cut lower, at approximately 2” (5cm) in order to reduce evening transpiration and to conserve moisture. A little browning is not a bad thing. When the rains return, the green colour will reappear rather quickly. Vegetable gardens are the most challenging in the heat. If you always water in the morning and water only the root zones of all your plants, this will go a long ways to prevent diseases like mildew, botrytis and even blight on potatoes and tomatoes. Planters and baskets offer a different challenge, especially when it’s so hot. Water them thoroughly in the morning so they’re less

stressed during the day. But before you water them again, feel the weight of the basket and make sure it feels light. If it feels heavy, it is already wet enough, and you should wait until it dries out before watering again. Overwatering is worse than under-watering because the roots may rot with too much water, especially with fuchsias. With planters and baskets, it’s important to feed more frequently because you’re leaching out nutrients every time you water. This is where slow-release fertilizers, like 14-14-14,

Yes, it is very dry out there and yes, your plants need water, but so many folks will lose plants because of not knowing how best to water. Over-watering, watering at the wrong time of day (which can cause plant diseases) and not watering thoroughly are all poor watering practices. Watering is an art, and when done well, will help plants thrive and at the same time will preserve this precious resource. If you have a choice, always water in the early morning as the temperature is on the rise. Doing so will allow plants to make the most efficient use of the water, and they will not transpire the moisture away as they will with evening watering. Brian During MINTER the warmest part of the day is when plants need that moisture to prevent heat stress and other related problems. When you water, make sure that you water thoroughly and that the water penetrates deep into the soil so the moisture goes down to the roots where it is needed. This is especially true for trees and shrubs. Thorough watering will encourage roots to grow deep and be less dependent on frequent watering. One of my greatest concerns is for the thousands of hedging cedars surrounding most homes. After a few years, we tend to forget about them, not realizing they are very shallow rooted, and like rhododendrons, need adequate water to keep them healthy and not stressed out. Soaker hoses to the rescue here at least on a weekly basis. Once the watering is done, dig down and check to see just how far it has pen-

play such an important role in keeping your baskets continually fed, especially when we water so often at this time of the year. When you water, please use a water breaker with at least 400-1000 holes at the end of your hose for the most efficient distribution of water into the soil, and always use a wand so you are not constantly having to bend over. Shallow and frequent watering will make most of your garden plants less selfsufficient and more dependent on watering - so water less often but more thoroughly and deeply. Focus on watering the root systems and try to water in the morning for the most resourceful use of water. Soaker hoses and drip systems are the most effective way to save you time and to use less water.

Chipping tips I refer to chipping as the easiest way to lower your score, writes Jennifer Greggain

Students in the Sardis secondary school hockey academy go through a morning workout at Prospera Centre. The academy will be based out of Twin Rinks next fall. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Hockey academy making move Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Jeff Grenier believes a change of venue is going to take the Sardis hockey academy to the next level this fall. The Sardis secondary school program moves from Prospera Centre to Twin Rinks in September, a geographically sensible switch that seems long overdue. “It’s closer proximity for all the students who are enrolled in the program,” said Grenier, one of the onice instructors. “We’ll also be training at our school, where we have great weight room facilities.” The academy will see some tweaks to the schedule. The format to date has been one hour of on-ice instruction followed immediately by one hour of office. The new look will see students will spend three days

a week on the ice, guided by Chilliwack Chiefs bench boss Jason Tatarnic. “It’s great working with him, and he’s from the same area as I am in Niagara, ON,” Grenier said. “We get along really well and he’s passionate about coaching.” Students will spend the other two days per week in the weight room, guided by Paul Nicolls, Chiefs assistant coach and owner of Xceed Training. The program includes a sport psychology component. “I’m excited about growing the program and the numbers are looking good for next year,” Grenier noted. “Talking to parents, moving to Twin Rinks is what they wanted. It’s easier for the kids to find their own way to the rink, and we get them back to school in time for block two.” Twenty are signed up for the fall, an increase of five. Of those, four are female

players. Grenier is a former defenceman who played high level hockey in Quebec. He spent time in the major junior QMJHL with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles and Gatineau Olympiques and played university hockey at Ryerson. He also has an RBC Cup championship on his resume, won with the Aurora Tigers in 2006-07. “I bug Jason (Tatarnic) about that, because I’ve actually won one,” Grenier laughed. Earlier this month the 28 year old had two of his former teammates visit the academy. Kyle Hagel plays for the ECHL’s Charlotte Checkers. Cam McIntyre was signed by the National Hockey League’s San Jose Sharks and last played in the American Hockey League in 2011-12 before injuries derailed his career. Both men played togeth-

er at Princeton and had some good thoughts for the Sardis students. “A lot of these kids, they aren’t going to go on to pro hockey, but some have a good chance at scholarship money to play post-secondary hockey,” Grenier said. “So Kyle and Cam talked about the transition after high school and the options that might be available to them.” Grenier is finishing his first year at Sardis, enjoying every moment in the academy setting. “It’s an honour coming to the rink every day to do something I love,” he said. “Kids who want to be active all day and incorporate that into their schooling, I think this an amazing opportunity. I would have loved to have something like this at my high school.” Get more info online at sardisathletics.com/hockey-academy.html or email Grenier direct at jeff_grenier@sd33.bc.ca

Monday to Friday — 6:30am to 9:00am

Whether a seasoned tour-veteran, or a novice who is new to the game, every golfer understands the importance of the short game. I refer to chipping as the easiest way to lower yourr score. The key to success in chipping is solidness of contact, and here are three ways that will help you make solid contact more often. First of all, be wise in choosing the type of chip shott to use, a decision that will vary based on the type of lie you’re facing, and also how much green you have to work with. w ith. Generally speaking, low chip and run shots are easierr to execute than higher shots. There is also more room forr error with low chip shots than high shots. But I still see amateurs hit high lofted shots when it is not necessary. Golf is difficult enough. Keep in simple. Next, whether selecting a high or low chip shot, you must have a good set up position that allows contact to happen at the bottom of the swing arc. For all chip shots, try shifting your weight 60 to 70 perr cent to your lead foot, and keep it there for the entire shot. There is not a significant amount of weight shift on a chip shot. Also be sure to set your hands slightly ahead of the club-head, allowing the grip rather than the club head to control the shot. On all short game shots, try gripping lower on the club, as this gives more controllability of the club, and stand with your feet close together. Finally, to help with consistent ball striking, try hitting chip shots with very little or no wrist movement. Often times our nervous system tries to help the ball get in the air by using the wrists to “scoop” up at the ball. Although it feels like this motion creates loft on the ball, the actual result is inconsistent contact. This golfer may experience topped shots that go too low or too far across the green, or, shots that are struck k heavy, ending up short of the target. To practice solidness of contact in a chip shot, place one tee in the ground and another tee in the end of the grip. As you take several rehearsal swings, be sure the bottom of the swing arc strikes the tee in the ground, and the tee in the end of the club points up your lead forearm through impact, and in your finish position. Furthermore, when on the course, make sure during yyour our practice swing that you are striking the ground. This gives a good feel for how the shot should be struck as the club is moving in a downward motion toward the ball.

Every DAD Dreams Of A Gift From

Hadwin home for Cascade tourney prize purse, Hadwin usually plays for much higher stakes. Last year, the 27 year old graduate of Abbotsford’s Robert Bateman secondar y finished atop the combined money list for the Web.com Tour regular season and finals, highlighted by two victories and over $500,000 in earnings. That earned him fully exempt status on the PGA Tour for 201415. This season, as a full-timer on the PGA Tour, Hadwin has two top-10 finishes and sits 107th on the money list with total earnings of $629,685. He’s also 102nd in the FedEx Cup rankings. “Having Adam come out to support the

PGA Tour player Adam Hadwin has confirmed his attendance at the UFV Cascades ProAm golf tournament. The Vancouver Golf Tour event, which serves as a key fundraiser for the Cascades golf program, tees off Monday at the Chilliwack Golf Club. Each foursome will feature one VGT pro and three amateurs, playing a two-best ball team format. While the pros battle for a piece of a $5,000

team is a huge boost to the event,” Cascades head golf coach Chris Bertram said. “He’s been extremely generous with his time with this tournament in the past. With each passing year, demands on his time are growing exponentially, so getting him back this year was a great surprise.” Monday’s event will mark Hadwin’s third appearance at the Cascades Pro-Am. He won in 2012. It was also announced Thursday that a second PGA pro, Nick Taylor, will be in attendance. A graduate of Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary and the former No. 1-ranked amateur in the world, Taylor broke through on the Web.com Tour in 2014

to earn his PGA Tour card. He wasted little time making his presence felt, winning the Sanderson Farms Championship in November for his first PGA Tour victory. He currently sits 68th on the money list with just over $1 million in earnings this season. Taylor’s presence rounds out an impressive contingent of local golf luminaries that also includes James Lepp (the 2005 NCAA individual champion) and Ray Stewart (former PGA Tour pro and 1994 Dunhill Cup winner). There are still a few team spaces available. Contact Bertram by email at chris.bertram@ufv.ca to register or get more info.

OBITUARIES

DOUGLAS JOHN DAVID ROSS Douglas John David Ross was born in Vancouver February 15, 1943 and called Ladner home. He passed away quietly June 1, 2015 at the age of 72.

Bakx Maria Johanna

Nov. 21, 1928 - June 4, 2015 Maria (Ria) passed away peacefully with her family at her side at the Waverly Care facility where she had received loving care from the staff during the 5 years she lived there. Born in Steenbergen, Holland, Mom came to Canada in 1953 as a new bride joining her husband Leo on a lifetime adventure, first living in Okanagan Falls and Kitimat, before settling down in Chilliwack to start dairy farming. Like many young women of her generation Mom was a hard worker. She not only had the task of running a household and raising her children, she was dad’s partner in every sense of the word helping in the barn, and in the field. When she wasn’t working she loved playing cards or games, spending time in her garden, reading or watching sports. After Dad passed away, Mom moved from the farm to a condo in Chilliwack and enjoyed exploring the shops, the library and meeting new people. After a serious fall in 2010, Mom moved to the Waverly where she formed new friendships and was loved and cared for by the staff. Predeceased by her husband Leo, her daughter Jackie and her grand-daughter Jenny, Mom will be missed by her children Leanna (Rob) Peters, Clif (Rose), Sandra Craig and Steve (Lisa), 11 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Memorial service to be held at St. Mary’s Church on June 16 at 11:00 a.m., with reception to follow.

In 1949 Joe and his family moved to Newton to a 30 acre farm. Joe worked at Peterson Electric where he met the love of his life Lucy. They were married July 6, 1954 and remained married for 61 years. They moved to Lillooet in 1957. In May of 1960 they moved to Williams Lake where Joe worked at Lake City Ford and became a certified Auto Technician. He had an avid love for the great outdoors, where he hunted, fished and camped with his family. In 1976 Joe and Lucy moved to Kelowna. Joe contined with his hobby of being in the great outdoors as much as possible. After Joe’s retirement Joe and Lucy took up a gypsy lifestyle and enjoyed the great outdoors for as long as they could. After leaving Kelowna they settled in Chilliwack. They lived in Redwood Manor where Joe quickly earned the reputation of “Mr Fix-It” due to the fact he always made himself available to help others. This caring and jovial man liked to see others smile especially his wife Lucy. They attended the Eden Mennonite Church for 20 years. In 2013, they moved to Cascade Manor. He will not only be deeply missed by his family but by their many friends. The celebration of Life will be held at Eden Mennonite Church on Chilliwack Central in Chilliwack at 1:00pm, on June 15.

Doug joined the Army in the fall of 1963 and was posted to Shilo, Manitoba as a Gunner in The Royal Canadian Artillery. In 1974 he trained in Artillery Meteorology and worked at this until 1974 with the Shilo Base weather office RCSA and then with 3 RCHA until 1974. He was then posted to the CFB Cold Lake Alberta Rocketsonde project. Following this he was then promoted and posted to CFB Gagetown WO as instructor on radiosonde and Artillery Meteorology. He then went back to Shilo as WO IC 3 RCHA Met Section. In 1988 he was promoted MWO and posted to Goose Bay, Labrador as OIC CFB Goose Bay WO. His final posting was to Chilliwack as C Company MWO at CFOCS. He retired in 1993. After retirement he worked with the Corp of Commissionaires until 2004 where he worked mainly at the PRTC. Doug had a great love of sports but his passions were baseball and golf, having made 3 holes in one. He was an avid Chiefs fan and was known at the arena as the Candy Man with his pockets full of candy. Most mornings would find him going to his favourite barbershop for coffee and acting his role as “Office Manager”. In the years after retiring, he took up woodworking and was very proud of his clocks and “Toys for Big Boys”. He and his friend Frank started a friendly monthly poker game which they played once a month for 25 years.

For your convenience

Doug will be greatly missed by his wife Sharon, children Terry (Sandi) and Deanna (Sean), and his grandchildren Andrew, Lainey and Nyla. He also leaves his sisters Janet and Ann (Bob) and their families as well as Sharon’s family and his many friends and comrades.

harlene Beryl CONNORS, age 58, of Chilliwack, British Columbia, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 14, 2015, at the Surrey Memorial Hospital in Surrey, after having been admitted for only a very brief time.

Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on March 30, 1957, to the late John T. Connors, Q.C. and the late Doris E.A. (Esson) Connors, Charlene was an excellent student, excelling in Home Economics, particularly in sewing, and graduated in June of 1976. Charlene had spent eight years of her schooling in private, Seventh Day Adventist academies, alongside her other siblings. She was profoundly moved by her exposure to true Biblical Christian doctrine, and during her 8th year, Charlene converted from being an Anglo-Catholic to Biblical Christianity, was baptized, and became a born-again Christian. Charlene grew up in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, where her father was a lawyer and her mother was a school teacher. In 1972, her mother passed away when Charlene was 15 years old. A year later, the family moved to Newfoundland and Labrador, where her father took on the position as the Head of Prosecutions for Newfoundland and Labrador. After two years, the family moved again. Charlene spent her graduating year at the Seventh Day Adventist Christian boarding school in Ontario. The family then moved to Edmonton, Alberta, where Charlene's father took a position with the Alberta Attorney General's Department. In 1988, Charlene married Dale Harrison, and sadly within a few short years, they had separated and were divorced. They had one son, Nigel Harrison, who was born in 1990. In 1992, after suffering several weeks of illness, Charlene's father passed away. Charlene remained in Edmonton for nearly 20 years, after which, she then moved and lived in two small rural towns in Alberta (Warburg and Breton) for a short time before moving to British Columbia and finally settling down in Chilliwack, where she resided for the remainder of her life. Charlene chose to live out her days in British Columbia because she loved the absence of Alberta winters, the view of the mountains, and the hot summer weather. Charlene was exceptionally good at knitting, crocheting, embroidery, and sewing. She had designed and sewn curtains for the house, made numerous doilies and door-handle covers, and had made toilet-roll covers for every bathroom in the house. She even designed and had sewn a complete wardrobe of clothes for herself. She made many Halloween costumes through the years. She always had a love for animals, particularly cats. In her younger years, she enjoyed cross-country skiing in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Alberta. She always looked forward to attending the local community Cornboil or Clambake, and she was always eager for a good, competitive game or two of Backgammon. Charlene is survived by her son, Nigel Connors (Chilliwack), and her ex-husband, Dale Harrison (Edmonton). She was predeceased by her older brother, James L. Connors, Q.C. (Cathy, Dartmouth), and is survived by her three younger siblings, Nicole G.E. Connors (Edmonton), and the twins, Charles Connors (Melissa, Fort Saskatchewan) and Camille Stokoe (Tim, Edmonton); her nieces, Laura-Jean Quinn (Edmonton), Lauren Connors (Benedict, Labrador City), and Kelsie Connors (Fort Saskatchewan); her nephews, Paul Connors (Lunenburg), Patrick Connors (Ottawa), and Andrew Connors (Fort Saskatchewan). The memorial service was held on Thursday, May 21, 2015, at 3:00pm, at the Stillwood Christian Bible Camp at Lindell Beach, on Cultus Lake in British Columbia. For those wishing to do so, memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association at www.cmha.ca. Your kind donation would help support the Canadian Mental Health Association in its mission to promote mental health and help those with mental illness. 6/15F_CO12
