Sharon Stephens is giving back five cedar baskets that have been in her family for 100 years. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Cedar baskets brought back home Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s heart-warming tale that may give you goose bumps. Cedar baskets crafted by Sto:lo hands are coming home — full circle after almost 100 years. The five baskets are owned by Sharon Stephens of Chilliwack, a descendent of the Northcote family. When she moved to Chilliwack about nine years ago, it was into an apartment building that’s actually kitty corner to where her great-grandparents used to live. “Ever since I was a little girl, I really liked the baskets,” she tells The Progress. “They were so pretty and interesting looking.”

They are of different shapes and sizes, made from both cedar bark and cedar roots. With ample family history here, Stephens actually grew up in Burnaby, and spent most of her life, almost half a century, in a variety of B.C. communities, many with a strong aboriginal presence. One of the strange elements of her tale is that when she finally arrived in Chilliwack, she did not unpack her beloved cedar baskets as she usually did. It’s the first place she has lived where they were not out on display. They remained tucked away in a laundry basket out of sight. She did not for the life of her know why. Until now.

DON’T BE FOOLED BY BRAND-”X”

The baskets have been in her family ever since her great-grandmother Annie Northcote bought them on the doorstep about 90 years ago. The Northcotes, John and Annie, lived in a house near the corner of Corbould and Princess, near The Landing site. She would admire the baskets at her grandmother’s house, displayed along with the Limoges pieces. Her dad, Harold Stephens, 95, still talks about how he would travel up to Chilliwack from Burnaby on the B.C. Electric train to visit his grandparents, her great-grandparents, The Northcotes. Dad still remembers the baskets being purchased by his

grandmother from some Sto:lo ladies who came up to the door from the Fraser River, selling the hand-made cedar baskets, house to house. When Stephens eventually inherited them, she was thrilled to become the keeper of the baskets, at the age of 20. She brought them with her as she moved from community to community, with her developer husband, through most of her adult life. Now 68, she never thought of selling them, or parting with them in any way. “It was strange because I always had them on display in a place of honour in my home. I liked to have them around me.” But not here. Continued: CEDAR/ p11

Fire forced a frantic evacuation of about 40 tenants from a downtown apartment early Monday morning. The fire broke out at around 4 a.m. in the third-floor apartment of a three-storey building, located in the 9200 block of Mary Street near Spadina. When fire fighters arrived, flames were already shooting through the roof. A tenant in one of the lower units said he was awoken by the alarm outside his unit. When he raced outside and turned around, he could see sheets of flame coming from the top floor. Apartment manager Robert Lucas said he began banging on doors on the first and second floors at around 4 a.m. when the fire alarm sounded. He said he tried going up to the third floor, but the smoke was so thick by the time he got up there, he couldn’t see into the hallway. He did a quick head count on the street outside and said all tenants are accounted for – a point later confirmed by Chilliwack fire officials. “There was concern raised when one of the resident’s from the complex could not be found at

SPARKS fly to help apartment fire victims Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Sometimes in a crisis situation, it’s the little things that count. Like a new toothbrush. In the wake of the Mary Street apartment fire early Monday morning, a group of volunteers called SPARKS also stepped in, and provided some of the necessities of life to the burned out residents. “They did a fantastic job,” said one of the fire victims, Michael Marks. There was a feeling of “full-on” support at the scene, from the dedicated emergency responders, to the SPARKS volunteers. “Do you know what a toothbrush means when you’re standing on the street with just the clothes on your back? “By 10 a.m. that toothbrush meant the world to me.” Marks lived on the third floor of the severely fire-damaged building, and does not know what, if anything, will be salvageable. Still, he’s feeling grateful and fortunate that he is one of the few, one of three, with tenants’ insurance.

“One lady lost everything, and a young couple had just moved in last month and didn’t have a chance to sign the insurance papers yet.” Marks was out on the street, watching the building burn from 4:30 to 7 a.m. He’d been on his way to work in Vancouver that morning, but was able to grab his work bag and wallet. “It was pandemonium. All you do is just watch the fire. It was just an apartment, but it’s your home.” He noticed as some of the SPARKS volunteers mobilized to help the fire victims quickly. They engaged the SPARKS network of helpers on social media, bringing down food, and other items. Marks said he had never heard of the group of Good Samaritans, SPARKS, who have been helping those in a need for months now. They hold a weekly dinner service at Five Corners, that they call Sunday Handups. “They were there pretty quickly.” Some SPARKS people were onscene, while others later followed the bus to the Comfort Inn where the victims were being housed

after the fire. “We were there at the Comfort Inn from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,” said SPARKS member Linds Hlokoff, about herself and girlfriend. “We were so busy we didn’t sit down, and I got heat stroke. But it was good to see some smiles on their faces, especially after they spent the morning crying.” There was water, food, clothes, toys, pet supplies, toiletries and more on offer. There was hot lasa-

gna, and restaurant vouchers, as well as a movie and popcorn. There were free items at Value Village. There were emotional reunions with family members and lost pets. “I think it gave people hope to see that there’s some good in the world,” said Hlokoff. “It turned into a pretty good day.” The SPARKS people are now working on providing some shortterm housing for fire victims in need.

Firefighters went back into the burned building and retrieved crucial items like glasses, medications and dentures. There were Emergency Social Services personnel helping to arrange accommodations, as well as Salvation Army volunteers helping out as well. Local businesses stepped up too, including Value Village, Save-On Foods, Rendezvous Restaurant, Ricky’s, Cottonwood 4 Cinemas, and more. Marks said the SPARKS people had donated items they were giving out. “Everything was new. They said they get it all donated for free, so they give it away for free. There is no politics, or religion involved. If you need it, it’s here.” Marks said he hopes the SPARKS people “keep doing what they’re doing.” It’s the little things that really count, like the hugs, the words of encouragement. A toothbrush. “It just matters. They’re doing a bang-up job.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

To catch a killer Sardis secondary grad finds himself in the heart of a murder mystery Jessica Peters The Progress On a November evening in 2010, Cst. Aaron Kehler was just cresting a hill on rural Highway 27 when something caught his eye. Headlights from another vehicle were cutting through the tree line in the distance, just off the roadway between Fort St. James and Vanderhoof. At first, he assumed it was a snowmobiler out enjoying the evening. And from any other vantage point along the highway, it’s a

detail he wouldn’t even have noticed it. But it was a pick-up truck, and a few moments later it came full speed onto the highway from a snowy side road. The driver didn’t slow down for the road surface changes, didn’t yield to traffic, and sped down the highway ahead of him. Even as a rookie officer, Kehler could sense this would be no ordinary traffic stop. But he had no idea he was tracking a serial killer. “I didn’t think anything of it at first,” he said of the head-

Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens presented Cst. Aaron Kehler with a Commanding Officer’s Commendation.

lights. “Except that it’s an odd place for someone to be.” Kehler didn’t normally patrol the area; he was there transporting a lady’s purse that got left behind after she hit a moose earlier. He followed the truck for 10 km, until the officer he was meeting for the property transfer was in view. In retrospect, the backup was crucial, considering what was about to unfold. It took some time for the driver to pull over, and when he did it was right under the only street lamp in the area. As Kehler spoke to the driver, 19-year-old Cody Legebokoff, things really took a weird turn. They noticed an open beer and searched the truck, finding drops off blood on Legebokoff’s chin and bare legs. He had killed a grouse, he told them, and there was a struggle. When they found more blood on the rubber floor mat, a stainless steel tool, and eventually on a pipe wrench, he gave the officers a story that he’d been out poaching a deer, with a friend. But there was no friend, and no evidence of a deer. And, he was wearing shorts. Snow inside the truck hadn’t melted, and the blood all over the stainless steel

tool had not congealed. This crime had just happened, they knew that much. And the body wouldn’t be far. A teddy bear backpack was stuffed in the door pocket of the passenger side, with the identification for a 15-yearold girl, Loren Leslie. They ran her name, and she was missing. A conservation officer was called, who travelled up the road that Legebokoff had emerged onto the highway from just moments before. He found Leslie’s body under a tree, and Legebokoff was arrested for her murder. Legebokoff is now in prison on four counts of firstdegree murder, following years of investigation and court dates. At 19 at the date of his arrest, he is Canada’s youngest known serial killer. And had he not been seen on that lonely winter road by a police officer who was there by random happenstance, Kehler said, it’s likely he would have killed again. “It was unexpected and I didn’t know what I was getting into,” Kehler said. “It went from one investigation to the next, and I was trying to sort out what was happening.” From traffic violation to Liquor Control Act violation,

to a poaching charge, and finally to murder in about an hour. The quick thinking and intuition earned Kehler, a Sardis secondary grad, a Commanding Officer’s Commendation this April. But the case didn’t end there. “There were these unsolved homicides,” Kehler said. Major crime units stepped in and the senior officer noticed a similarity to the unsolved homicide of Cynthia Mass, whose body was found outside Prince George a month earlier. The doctor performing the autopsy confirmed the injuries were consistent among the two victims. And there was yet another missing woman, Natasha Lynn Montgomery, who hadn’t been seen from in two months. They were on the heels of a string of murders, and Kehler’s actions had stopped him cold in his tracks. “It comes down to the chance of me going down there at that moment, just cresting that hill at that moment,” he said, adding that all the circumstances played into it, right down to avoiding a possibly deadly crash just a few days prior. “It’s a blessing, for sure,” he said.

Just like in his truck, Legebokoff left a messy trail that connected him to four murdered or missing women. There was DNA of Mass in his apartment, along with the murder weapon. Hundreds of droplets of blood were found, along with footprints of blood with Montgomery’s DNA. Then they found the dried blood of what may have been his first victim, Jill Stuchenko, under his couch. Her body was found a year prior and her murder was still unsolved. They learned the couch had been moved from another residence in Prince George, and searching that home led them to find more of her blood. Kehler had to spend five days straight on the stand, testifying. It was the first time a defendant in his files had plead not guilty. Montgomery’s body has not yet been found, and the story is not quite over. “He is appealing,” Kehler told The Progress this week. “It’s been a long time coming and I’m glad it’s over, but it might all be starting back up again.” But for now, Cody Legebokoff remains in custody. jpeters@theprogress.com

FHA hospitals stay clogged despite repeat promises per cent of patients getting a bed within the 10-hour benchmark, down from around 40 per cent for most of the last year. It means twothirds or more of patients now wait longer than 10 hours at hospitals such as Chilliwack General (32.9 per cent), Surrey Memorial, Abbotsford Regional and Ridge Meadows. The target for timely access to a bed has actually been lowered over the years. Today, Fraser is only aiming to get 55 per cent of patients into a bed within 10 hours. Back in 2011, the health ministry gave Fraser a goal of 67 per cent rising to 90 per cent by 2013, but – with the health region falling far short – the province eliminated those targets from subsequent

Jeff Nagel Black Press Hospitals remain severely congested in Fraser Health and by some measures the problem has worsened despite repeated vows in recent years to improve conditions. Three years ago this month, a 2012 congestion review warned hallway medicine was so rampant in Fraser that staff were “resigned” that the jammed conditions would remain “intractable.” At that time, just 51 per cent of patients admitted through emergency were getting a bed within 10 hours. Fast forward to April 2015 and that measure has worsened to 35.1

to see some improvement by fall but he is not banking on swift change. Marchbank noted Fraser added $5 million this year for more staff to help move patients through the system more quickly or divert them from emergency to other options when appropriate. He insisted acute care decongestion “is definitely a focus and a priority for us.” Much of the region’s current strategy is aimed at areas outside of hospital: providing more community support, home support and increasing home nursing where required. As more capacity in the community comes on stream, it’s hoped there will be fewer people in hospital occupying beds and clogging the

flow of incoming patients. “Somebody might get an extra hour or two a day of support in their home and it might prevent them from going to an emergency department or moving to higher levels of care,” Marchbank said. “I think that’s the area that will show some of the greatest return.” A report released last week by the Integrated Care Advocacy Group argued government claims of shifting the emphasis to community care has so far been mainly talk rather than action, with the number of seniors receiving home support virtually unchanged in a dozen years, despite a doubling in the number of B.C. seniors.

health authority service plans. Fraser is currently averaging 222 patients across its hospitals who’ve been admitted but not yet given a proper bed and are instead being treated in ERs, hallways, lounges or other non-acute care areas. That’s the highest level since 2011 and well above a target of 165 or less. The health authority’s May report card shows other measures of how long patients stay in hospital are also much worse than the region’s goals. Fraser’s new strategic and operational plan, completed last year on orders of Health Minister Terry Lake, was supposed to find new ways to decongest hospitals. Fraser Health president and CEO Michael Marchbank said he expects

Chilliwack events to mark National Aboriginal Day Chilliwack has a higher percentage of people with aboriginal roots, at about 9 per cent, compared to the Canadian average, at four or five per cent. So it’s not surprising there is a wide range of events planned to celebrate National Aboriginal Day, from this week to next month, in Chilliwack and nearby communities. Sunday, June 21, is officially National Aboriginal Day, to recognize and honour the valuable contributions to Canadian society by Canada’s First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

The ‘hidden crime’

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

On Monday members of the Chilliwack Crime Prevention Services and Chilliwack Victim Services were at Eagle Landing to talk about an issue most of us would rather pretend doesn’t exist. They call it a “hidden crime” – one that is rarely seen, but surprisingly prevalent. June 15 was World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, and Chilliwack representatives were at the shopping centre to answer questions, offer advice and educate the public on the local resources that are available to victims of elder abuse, or those who suspect it’s taking place. “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, Chilliwack Victim Services co-ordinator. The abuse can come in many forms. Sometimes it’s neglect, but often the abuse is physical, or emotional. One of the more common forms of abuse is financial. Too often seniors fall prey to the unscrupulous and the manipulative. The abusers might be strangers, or family members, but their actions can have a devastating impact on the health and financial security of some our community’s most vulnerable. Awareness and vigilance are the best tools to combat elder abuse. Says Wahlstrom: “A sudden change in wills, unusual bank withdrawals, a person rarely seen in the neighbourhood, someone frightened of certain family members or care givers, any unexplained injuries, or declining health – they can all be clues to abuse.” Monday, June 15 is only one day a year. But elder abuse can and does occur anytime. Chilliwack RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail calls it a “hidden crime,” because it’s often never reported. However, he urges the community not to keep it hidden. Talk about it, understand the warning signs and report your suspicions. To learn more about elder abuse contact Chilliwack Crime Prevention Services at 604-393-3000 or stop by the office located at 45877 Wellington Avenue.

The most important thing to know “I know everything, Daddy.” So proclaimed my daughter one day in her third year of existence. Me too, I smiled. Last week, she graduated from Grade 12. Those early words heralded a child’s journey in an endless accumulation of knowledge. Little did I realize at the time, my own all-knowing state would, in her view, diminish over the coming years – particularly in early teenhood, when dad would be frequently relegated to irritation status. As alarming as this was, I took solace in the fact that other fathers, and most mothers, were experiencing the same phenomenon. How could it be that we knew so much before our children were born, and carried that lofty mantle through their early years, yet watched as our titles

as Knowers of All Things Worth Knowing steadily morphed into The Perpetually Addled? For young parents, there’s no need to be overly concerned about this. Your wisdom doesn’t really become lost. The trick is to stay ANDREW engaged and comHOLOTA mitted through the process. Be a relentlessly loving, patient teacher and supporter. Through the process, your offspring’s perception of your worldly acuity becomes restored, albeit about a third of your lifetime later. Here’s the other thing: While she’s learning, so are you. It’s the most wonderful, confounding, frustrating, rewarding,

utterly important adventure of your life, and before you know it, a large slice of it has been consumed. As she walked across the stage last Thursday, accepting her diploma and scholarship accolades, I relived her first hours in this world, when we gazed into each other’s eyes, in equal wonderment. I thought of the countless times we curled on the couch and read books. I remembered her amazement and delight as we travelled to different parts of the world. And I ruefully recalled the frequent occasions in the not-toodistant past where I felt as though I was an incessantly barking dog. What an incredible project, this parenting gig. I’m not sure there can a greater sense of accomplishment. The opportunity to make a terrible mess of it is really quite

immense. The potential to raise a smart, caring contributor to society is even more remarkable. And, as probably most parents leaving the ceremonies last week were reminding themselves, it’s far from over – although there’s a measure of that, since many of us will see our grads leave home at the end of summer. Like most aspects of parenthood, descriptors of changes like “empty-nest syndrome” don’t begin to articulate the feelings. Empty-heart syndrome is more like it. From daily contact and interaction, family suppers every night, homework projects and weekend activities, to texts, phone calls and occasional visits? Inconceivable, but real. How can a university possibly take the place of “home?” Yet it does. And eventually, she will have her own home, and we

would wish it no other way. Nevertheless, my role now seems somewhat uncertain. For the past 18 years, it was so clearly, solidly defined. Although, perhaps it doesn’t really change too much. Give unconditional love. Provide unfaltering support. All children deserve that from their parents. I did, and I am eternally grateful for it, and the opportunity to do so myself. Now, my beautiful girl, step forward on your new path. Challenge yourself, and live your dreams. Care about your world. No mom and dad could be prouder. And as always, if you need me, I’ll be there. But you know all that. Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News and a former editor of the Chilliwack Progress.

Caution needed in hospital zone Re: Hit and Run sends one man to Hospital, Chilliwack Progress, June 10 The referenced article sends a very strong message on the dangers awaiting at the corner of Hodgins Avenue and Mary Street. The hit and run incident (June 4) was just the latest of many serious hits and near misses that happen at this location too frequently. A similar accident occurred here just a few weeks prior. This is a hospital zone with very prominent signs: ‘Quiet Zone’ - ‘30 km/h Maximum Speed right through to Corbould’, but they don’t seem to have any effect on the strangely inattentive and

unscrupulous drivers, brazenly speeding by with cell phone pressed to the ear. Apparently, the amber light is being interpreted to mean ‘speed up and don’t give someone already waiting in the intersection time to make their turn.’ I contacted city hall some years ago to paint a line to guide south-facing traffic on Mary Street making a left turn on to Hodgins. This would prevent drivers crossing through west bound traffic lanes. That line has long since disappeared. And if drivers fail to look around the left windshield post of their vehicle, it might be blocking a pedestrian crossing the road. It is becoming more danger-

ous, especially for pedestrian traffic; vehicles are getting larger and noisier, including motorcycles. Mufflers are being replaced with amplifiers to make even more noise. And this is a quiet hospital zone! The city should take a close look at this situation; it’s not getting any better. It needs much better oversight, whether it be radar, cameras or whatever else. Drivers have too many signs to read and are paying less and less attention. There must be more incentives to encourage responsible driving. Ed Dawdy

It’s unfair to target all young drivers

Park under attack This is what our beautiful little park looks like every morning around 5 a.m. before city crews go in to clean it up. A homeless junkie’s stolen shopping cart lies burned beside the pond. Cardboard box “mattresses” lie discarded and garbage and sheets, blankets and needles are everywhere. A great place to bring the kids! James Armstrong

Reading a previous letter to the editor has encouraged me to write a letter back. (Young drivers need to take care, Chilliwack Progress, June 10.) Reading that reckless driving is to be blamed on “driving schools and driving examiners” is actually quite unfair, seeing as there is no one to blame except the driver. Being a new driver myself, I think it’s quite unfair to target a specific group of people without being very specific in your accusations. The majority of drivers that I witness breaking traffic laws are more experienced drivers who are outside the Graduated Licensing Program (GLP). The average person speeds to work every day without thinking twice about traffic laws. Most drivers in the GLP don’t want to risk losing their license due to distracted driving, this is why it is unfair to specifically target young drivers for something that everyone does. Sam Bishop

Mosquitoes have their place ‘Mosquitoes should be as bad as last year,’ Progress, June 5. Mosquitoes may be a nuisance to us but an important food supply for many countless fellow inhabitants of this planet. In fact if you could snap your fingers and

all mosquitoes on the face of the Earth would become extinct, it is quite likely we just might as well. They are a vital key in our food supply for sure. The same goes for bees of every kind - not just the honey

bee. I’m not saying that mosquitoes should be on the protected species list but I do believe that krill should be. Joseph Mrak, Yarrow

“...we support individuals and families during the dying and grieving process”

The baskets were made with “great skill,” said Skwah elder Eddie Gardner. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

He remembers when the repatriation idea struck Stephens. “It hit her like a thunderbolt.” It’s very significant because the Sto:lo people have great reverence for the cedar tree, and in stories they are seen as the tree of life. These particular baskets were made with “great skill,” he says. “The baskets are in remarkably good condition and having them come back is a magic moment for us — and for Sharon,” said Gardner. The Skwah leaders met and talked about the baskets, and are now anticipating their return with great delight, he said. “It’s so special. There’s a wonderful energy emanating from them.” They decided to hold a tra-

ditional ceremony for Stephens and the baskets at Skwah First Nation on Wellington Avenue on Sunday, June 21. They are welcoming them back into the fold, and to warmly thank Stephens, with a lunch after the ceremony. “It’s a gesture of respect. They wanted to thank her for having it in her heart to do this.” Stephens said she is very honoured and grateful for the opportunity, as she was honoured to be the guardian of the treasured baskets. Now she understands why she couldn’t unpack them when she got to Chilliwack. It was because she was bringing them home at long last. “It’s all falling into place now.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

They travelled with her for close to 50 years from Surrey, to Richmond, North Delta, Langley, Kitsilano, West End, Ucluelet, Qualicum Beach. And they are now back in Chilliwack. At one point, Stephens felt drawn to the traditional hand drum so she joined a drum circle, and eventually met Eddie Gardner, a Skwah elder. While drumming and singing traditional Sto:lo songs at the Sto:lo Elders Lodge with Gardner, the idea came to her. Stephens realized in a flash of insight that the baskets needed to go back to the community that they came from. “I was literally drumming and it came to me. It was so bizarre.” She was deeply compelled to see them returned, and with Gardner’s help, decided they must have come from a local Sto:lo community, likely Skwah First Nation. That’s where they had to go, she figured. “It was as if I had been given a special message,” she said. “It was a very profound moment for me.” The gesture is already having ripple effects. “It is wonderful,” said Eddie Gardner, when asked about the baskets’ homecoming. “It’s of great significance and importance to us as People of the River.”

Jessica Peters The Progress In the heart of Greendale’s lush farm country, a group of women sit around a coffee table and chat about Kenya. They talk about the dirty water the children drink there, the pandemic HIV risks and the disease’s startling death rates, the lack of basic essentials and the need for better health care. But mostly, they speak about the widows of Kakamega. And when they say the women’s names, they smile and reminisce. Margaret. Alice. Jacinta. Because these Kenyan women are not statistics they read about in the news. These are women they have met, face to face. They’ve shared meals with them and their children, prayed with them, and helped them create a better life. “These are the most courageous women I have ever met,” says Mary Anne Westeringh. She first met the women in 2013, while tagging along with her husband on a trip with the Chilliwack-based charitable organization

Mary Anne Westeringh holds a jar of drinking water from Kenya. She, along with Fran Westeringh, Arlene Pede, Heather Stam and Janie Both, make up some of the group of women who are travelling to Kenya in October with a focus on helping mainly single moms and grandmothers. Also seen here are images from their last trip to Kenya. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Hungry For Life. “What I saw and experienced will be imprinted in my mind forever,” she says. Upon returning home, she rallied together several other women to put together their own delegation to return to the area. In the meantime, they fundraised and sent money to HFL’s field partner, Edwin Napali. By the time the Chilliwack women returned to Kakamega last October, a brand new well was bringing

fresh water directly to a local school. A dedication ceremony was held upon their arrival, and the women were shown the old path to the former water source. Before the well was built, the school teacher, Beatrice, had to travel to a filthy water source for their drinking and washing water. She had to make the two kilometre trip several times a day, filling their five-gallon buckets with brown, sediment-filled water.

“This dirty water is their lifeline,” says Fran Westeringh, who visited last fall with Mary Anne. The long walk is also a dangerous one for young girls fetching water alone. Providing a safer, healthier lifestyle for the widows of the area and the children under their care has become a passion for the Chilliwack women. On their previous trip they helped 14 women ages 30 to 80), most who have been widowed from AIDS. Some are young mothers, others are grandparents still working and caring for multiple generations.

Without access to hygiene products (due to poverty and availability issues), the women are at further risk for infections and illnesses. Many are left with no option but to sit in their rooms during menstruation, missing a week of school or work unnecessarily.

On their last visit, they brought along hand-sewn, washable and re-usable feminine hygiene packages. They showed them how to use them,

When the women return this October, they will be taking more of the packages. “And more soap,” says Jane Both. “The more you go the more you realize how little they have. They don’t even have access to soap.” But they are careful not to just hand out items and leave. They are also helping with a gardening education program that teaches

the women how to grow more vegetables, in the same space and with less water. Women that attend the classes are given a cow to help sustain their families, and they are asked to share the knowledge among their community. “Hungry for Life is really about sustainability,” Mar y Anne

says. The eight women who are going in October are paying their own way for the trip, again, and are fundraising to help purchase the supplies they’ll be taking along. They are also fundraising for the bigger projects they have planned. In the past they’ve built and fixed

homes and purchased new mattresses and covers for an orphanage. They are planning a fundraiser on Saturday, June 20, at the Chilliwack Free Reformed Church on Yale Road (behind the Service Canada building). Group member Arlene Pede has been busy making pies, and

Focus on the family at festival

It’s an eclectic mix of players who have been popping into the jam at Triple Play. One of them is singer-songwriter Gerry Hannah, who took the stage to play a few originals from his solo album Coming Home at a recent jam. And the crowd was loving it. Hannah was one of the founders and bass player for Vancouver punk band the Subhumans for more than 20 years. His stage name was Gerry Useless, and with the Subhumans he wrote some of the more memorable punk tunes on this side of the pond. His latest tunes are more in a folk rock vein, and include updated versions from the album, Songs from Underground. Some were penned in the wake of his activism and civil disobedience with Direct Action and as a member of Squamish Five, which he ended up doing 10 years in Matsqui Prison for.

The Harrison Festival of the Arts is known around the world for creative and diverse programming. That will continue this summer but with an added focus on celebrating family, in all its various forms. Running from July 11 to 19 in beautiful Harrison Hot Springs, the 2015 Harrison Festival will feature both a family inspired lineup and new family friendly pricing. “The heart of our festival’s mandate is community development through the The heart of sharing and embracour festival’s ing of diversity,” says Festival artistic direcmandate is tor Andy Hillhouse. “The celebration of community a broad concept of development family, one that transcends bloodlines, through the and reaches out rathsharing and er than excludes, fits well with that.” embracing of Consistent with this inter woven diversity theme of family, this year’s Festival lineup ~ Andy showcases acts from Hillhouse diverse cultural backgrounds in which music has been passed on through the generations. Evening hall performer Bassekou Kouyaté, from Mali, is known as the ‘Jimi Hendrix of the Ngoni’, a West African lute. He learned to play this ancient instrument from his father and grandfather, and in turn has taught his sons Moustafa and Mamadou. Along with his wife, vocalist Amy Sacko, his sons are members of his band Ngoni Ba, who will be performing in the Memorial Hall Saturday, July 18. Other hereditary African musicians at the Festival will be Vancouver-based Senegalese kora player Boujou Cissoko and percussionist Yoro Noukoussi from Benin, who will be collaborating especially for their Sunday, July 19 Beach Stage performance.

Bill Fulton and the house band, Cueball at Jam Night at Triple Play Pub. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS

The jam is sweet at Triple Play Pub Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Jam night is every Thursday at the Triple Play Pub at Five Corners in downtown Chilliwack. Like acoustic music? Metal? Rockabilly? Or how about some classic rock? No problem. There’s a musical genre for almost everybody on a typical night of jamming. Local musician Bill Fulton and the house band, Cueball, lay down a mean groove, and a variety of talented musicians get up on stage and join them. “Anybody can get up and do their thing,” says Fulton.” There’s usually a good crowd out to see the live music. They can do a dozen sets in a night, usually about three songs each. Bass player Fulton took over the jam night coordination last year and it’s been

growing steadily. Jammers bring their own instruments and axes. The amps, drums, microphones and PA are all in place already at the bar. “There are no real rules at this jam. They can get up and do a song, or a few tunes,” he says. “It’s been going well.” Lots of local musicians appreciate the chance to get up on a local stage every week. Some are there to test out some original tunes. Others come for a little fun. “They’re thankful that we’re doing it here. It’s kind of a family atmosphere. Some come to practise and jam, while others come to network and promote what they’re up to.” Professionals and veterans get paired up with the newbies. “Every week it’s a pleasant surprise,” says Fulton. “There is a lot of talent in this town. It sure beats sitting at home on the couch and watching TV.”

* Sports Sunday: If Dad is a sports fan, his idea of spending a fun-filled afternoon very well may be cheering on his favourite players. Whether your father enjoys golf, tennis, baseball, soccer, or another sport like hunting or fishing, chances are there is a television broadcast on that you can watch together. Otherwise, you can surprise Dad by purchasing tickets to a sporting event and making a day of it at the ballpark. * Beach bound: A relaxing day at the beach may be the perfect way to spend Father’s Day. Dad can

enjoy the entire family while sitting back in his beach chair and watching the waves roll in. Pack a picnic lunch with his favourite foods and a cold beer, and Dad may just say this was his best celebration yet.

* Adventure seeker: If yours is a father who enjoys living on the edge, a Father’s Day activity built around action and adventure should be a winner. Take Dad base jumping, rock climbing, scuba diving, or race car driving. Any of these activities is bound to get Dad’s adrenaline pumping. * R&R: Dad’s idea of the perfect Father’s Day may be an afternoon free of obligations and deadlines. A relaxing day in the yard swimming laps in the pool or hitting a few grounders to your waiting baseball mitt may be all the excitement he needs. Toss a few steaks on the grill to give Father’s Day a truly perfect ending. * Impromptu party: Some dads like to be the center of attention. A Father’s Day party thrown in his honour, co complete with friends and family ily, can be an entertaining way to spend the day. If you are w worried about interrupting otheers’ Father’s Day plans, host th the gathering on the Saturday b before Father’s Day and let D Dad be the life of the party. F Finger foods, barbecue, a limited list of cocktails and other beverages and some background music are all that you need to host a festive function.

Scene&Heard Thursday means jam night JAM from page 15 “Due to the limited resources I had while in prison in terms of instrumentation, recording and production capabilities, I had always hoped that I might someday be able to re-record the songs,” Hannah writes on his website. “As a result, 7 of the 14 songs that appear on Coming Home originally appeared on Songs From Underground. Of the remaining 7 songs, a few of them were written during the last few years of my imprisonment and the rest were written since my release.

In a way, the songs on Coming Home represent an emotional history for me: a snapshot of how I was feeling and what I was thinking back then and to a lesser extent, since then as well.” In 2004, Vancouver filmmaker Glen Sanford made a documentary about Gerry Hannah, called Useless. Hannah was also one of the interview subjects in Bloodied But Unbowed, Susanne Tabata’s 2011 documentary about the early punk scene in Vancouver. The music of Jam Night at the Triple Play pub at Five Corners in Chilliwack runs every Thursday from 7:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Douglas earns invite to Top Gun Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Asked if he knows who Goose and Maverick were, Baker Douglas flashed a grin and said, “Yeah, I’ve seen that one. Top Gun!” It’s refreshing to know at least one 17 year old is still aware of the Tom Cruise fighter-jet epic, circa 1986, released in theatres 12 years before Douglas was born. But that’s not the Top Gun he really wanted to talk about. Douglas, a star wideout on the GW Graham varsity football squad, is excited about the football version — a mid-July gathering of the best of the best in high school football in Dublin, OH. Douglas earned his invite to Top Gun with a flawless performance at a Football University (FBU) camp, held the last weekend of May in Seattle, WA. He was one of just three receivers taken from the 40 who attended, out-performing players from AAAA and AAAAA schools in Washington State, Oregon and Idaho. It was a three day camp with a heavy emphasis on technique. The Chilliwack kid didn’t even catch a ball on day one, spending all his time on fundamentals and classwork. Day two focused on footwork followed by drills on route running and beating press coverage. “Then we went to threeon-twos and seven-on-sevens, and that’s kind of where I shine,” Douglas said. “I was able to get separation from most of the defensive backs I faced and catch the ball when I needed to.” Day three was a showoff day, and a chance for Douglas to make one final impression on FBU evaluators. “Charlie Collins worked with the (NFL’s San Francisco) 49ers and

(Cincinnati) Bengals and (New York) Giants, and he’s one of the top receiver coaches in the nation,” Douglas explained. “He filled out a bunch of evaluation sheets for me afterwards showing good footwork, great catching and great ball security.” “He also said my football IQ was off the charts,” Douglas added proudly. It was the second year Douglas attended this camp, facilitated by NCSA Athletics Recruiting. Douglas, who will graduate from GW Graham next June, has been working with NCSA to find post-secondary opportunities, and they recommended FBU. “As far as I know, the only way you can get there is through an NCSA invite,” Douglas said. “If you do well enough you get invited to Top Gun, and then hopefully the Army Bowl.” The Army Bowl is an annual showcase game for high school stars that lists among its alumni NFL stars like Andrew Luck, Jamaal Charles, Patrick Peterson, Adrian Peterson, Odell Beckham Jr., DeMarco Murray, Eric Berry, LeSean McCoy and Sammy Watkins. That’s in Texas in early January and it’s the ultimate dream. But just getting to Top Gun is a massive achievement. “Getting the Top Gun invite makes me a candidate for a lot of the programs I’ve been looking at,” said Douglas, who’s already had an unofficial visit to Willamette University (Salem, OR) and has been offered a visit to Puget Sound University (Tacoma, WA). Douglas has watched former GWG teammates go through the university process. At his position, Jake Creasey graduated and went on to the university of Manitoba. Last season, it was Treyvon Walsh committing to the University of Alberta.

The latest GW Graham senior to pursue a post-secondary scholarship is Baker Douglas, who has his sights set on the NCAA division two ranks. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

“I don’t have all the details, but as far as I know I think they both paved their own way to get where they are,” Douglas said. “The recruiting agency has helped tremendously, putting me out there for any school to see. My height and weight. My academics, grades, stats and all that. They’ve made it significantly easier than it

would have been if I tried to do it myself.” Douglas mentioned division two earlier, which is a realistic goal. “Collins said I could be a valuable asset for any Div 2 team in the United States,” the teenager said. “I think I matched up fairly well against the other guys I saw in Seattle. Most guys

were around my size and skill level, and I think my technique gave me an edge on some of them.” Douglas hopes a strong showing at Top Gun will spring-board him into the 2015 high school season with his Grizzlies. Ranked second among all varsity teams in BC, GWG is taking aim at a provincial

crowd. Douglas would be a big part of any title march. “I’d like to spend the season hitting the gym, getting stronger and more explosive,” he said. “Team wise, next season will be successful if we work together to get that championship.” See footballuniversity. org/topgun-hs

committed to telling the truth.

Multimedia journalist at The Surrey-North Delta Leader. His â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hard to Helpâ&#x20AC;? series shone a spotlight on mental illness and addiction issues.

With a few keystrokes you can sample thousands of opinions, aÄžoat in a sea of information.

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.

But as the volume increases, the accuracy and reliability of professional journalism is essential.

How can I avoid getting invoiced for a false alarm?

Gathering and sorting the facts, weighing and interpreting events, and following the story

Ensure that your security company calls you first in the event of an alarm.

from beginning to end is more important than ever.

Thank you for taking steps today to ensure you minimize false alarms. Please visit chilliwack.com/falsealarm for more information.

Sports A Friday night fundraiser at Chilliwack’s Duke’s Country Pub will benefit children who are battling cancer. Organized by Abbotsford native Bob Ahuja, the fundraiser will see Duke’s serve up a roast beef buffet dinner at a cost of $20 per ticket. Ahuja is participating in this year’s Sears National Kids Cancer Ride. Cyclists are responsible to raise $25,000, which he’s done the previous three years. In 2012 Ahuja was part of a team that rode all the way to Halifax, NS, and that’s where he’ll be cycling to this year. In 2013 he rode to Winnipeg and last year he ended up in Toronto. Ahuja has also done the Ride to Conquer Cancer four times. The Sears National Kids Cancer Ride starts Sept. 10 in Vancouver and takes 17 days to complete. Riding in relay style, cyclists cover between 150 km and 220 km (approximately) per day.

Bob Ahuja will ride his bike all the way across Canada for a second time this September.

Chillliwack’s Robert Johnson finished fifth overall at last weekend’s Subaru Ironman 70.3 triathlon in Victoria. Johnson crossed the line in 4:19:37, just over 10 minutes out of top spot. Other Chilliwack athletes included Bruce Gerry (661st ova), Daniel Heath (1036th) and Petrus Retief (1135th).
