Camping trip turns violent RCMP seek witnesses to Sunday incident RCMP are asking for the public’s help as they investigate an alleged stabbing that happened Sunday morning. Around 11 a.m. police responded to reports of an incident in the 11400 block of Gill Road. At the scene they found a 38 year old Mission man who’d been seriously injured during an altercation between two groups of campers. He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. Another man was arrested and later released. Officers stayed at the scene to gather evidence and their investigation determined that the two groups of campers did not previously know one another. However, police believe the victim was targeted. “The region is a popular off road camping destination and police feel there are still many witnesses with further accounts to what happened,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. Anyone with any information about this incident is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604792-4611 or Crime Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Jim Morford and Judy McCormick are proud of Karver’s Trail, the legacy left by their son who was killed in 2010. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS
Karver’s Trail the best part of a sad story Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Karver Morford would have turned 40 last Sunday. His parents are taking some comfort from a newly built recreational trail, Karver’s Trail, named in memory of their murdered son. Kar ver’s mom, Judy McCormick, said he would’ve been “very proud and happy” to see his name emblazoned on trail markers as part of the network of trails in Mt. Thom Park. “Most people don’t get that kind of legacy,” she said. There are still many locals who have not had the chance to try the new trail out yet with its stunning
views along a ridge trail. “People have seen the signs. But many don’t know why the trail is there, or where it goes,” McCormick told The Progress. The people who donated the land for Karver’s Trail in the hills of Ryder Lake asked for complete anonymity, so the opening with city reps was a rather low-key affair. “They’re very generous and kind-hearted people who liked him and felt bad about what happened,” Karver’s mom said. “They wanted to give something to the community that would be a lasting legacy, to make up somehow for what happened.” Karver Morford was killed in
his Ryder Lake home in November 2010 by unknown assailants under mysterious circumstances. He lived alone and unfortunately, his cold-blooded murder has never been solved. His mom posts a memorial message in the paper every year for Karver, and his obituary describes him as the “innocent victim of a senseless act of violence.” Karver was remembered as an outgoing and mischievous youth, who later felt stigmatized by his epilepsy, which was diagnosed at 14. He lived for a time on Prairie Central Road. He loved nature and gardening, and tinkering with vehicles. Over the years
he worked at a dairy farm, on a ranch, as a handlogger and later as a landscaper. Karver was taken from his loved ones at the age of 35, and they still don’t know what happened. “Someone out there knows something,” his mom said. “Every year, I remind them that I know that.” McCormick said she was thrilled by the land donation that made Karver’s Trail possible. “It just proves there are still good people in the world, which is good to know when you feel overwhelmed by all the bad people out there.” Continued: MORFORD/ p6

Swift retribution for corn barn vandalism spree Eric Welsh The Progress Ian Sparkes looked into the eyes of a Chilliwack teenager Tuesday and did his best to fight back anger. The kid was dragged over to Sparkes’ place by his father to apologize for blatant acts of vandalism that left one of Ian’s popular green and yellow corn barns damaged beyond repair. Four nights last week the teenager allegedly rammed his white pickup truck into the barn, on Luckakuck Way. “He showed up the first time last Tuesday, then again Wednesday
around 11:30 p.m.,” Ian said. “He was back Saturday morning around 1:35 a.m. and then one final time on Monday morning at 12:50 a.m.” Ian knows the times because he set up surveillance and has timestamped images of the white truck at the scene. “We already knew who they were because they drove by during the day revving their engine,” Ian said. “But we didn’t want them to know we knew until they were caught in the act.” The fourth time the truck showed up, a surprise was waiting. Ian wouldn’t confirm it was a
home-made spike belt that shredded the tires. “It appears he perhaps hit the barn so fiercely that something fell off and destroyed all four of his tires,” Ian suggested on the Sparkes Corn Barn Facebook page. “Vandalism is getting expensive for this young fellow.” Pictures are posted on the page of four tires and rims completely chewed up. “There were chunks of rubber going down the road to the truck’s final resting place,” Ian chuckled. “This cost him $3000 in tires and rims plus a lot of public humiliation.”
The suspect and his alleged accomplices were identified and ripped into on Facebook, to the point where Ian almost started feeling sorry for them. Almost. “Me and my kids built five new corn barns, we work long hours seven days a week and something like this happens and it just boils over,” he said. “These kids had nothing to do with any of my employees or family. We don’t even know them. They don’t know us. They were just random idiots who thought they were cool and I don’t really care what happens to them.”

Winds help lift air quality advisory
Mountains up Chilliwack River Valley were barely visible Sunday morning after smoke from the wildfires in Washington blew into the region, prompting an air quality advisory. The advisory was lifted Tuesday. GREG KNILL/ CHILLIWACK PROGRESS
Chilliwack residents were breathing a little easier on Tuesday after nearly three days of poor air quality. The air quality advisory that had been in place for the eastern Fraser Valley since Sunday was lifted Tuesday morning by Metro Vancouver. Smoke from wildfires in Washington State began blowing into the area on Saturday. At one point the conditions prompted a report that a small fire was burning east of Lindell Beach near Cultus Lake. That report was later proved false, however smoke continued to increase on Sunday. Within 24-hour period the air quality index climbed from the lowest level 1, to five, meaning “moderate health risk.” Elevated fine particulate matter in the air prompted warnings for people with chronic underlying medical conditions to stay inside and postpone strenuous exercise. Of particular concern were infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease. However, changing wind conditions Tuesday helped blow the smoke out of the region and clear the air. This is the second time this summer that forest fires have generated air quality advisories in Chilliwack. Fires continue to burn in Washington, with the largest totaling more than 1,000 square kilometres, making it the largest fire in the state’s history.
Blackberry bushes cleared as part of trail improvements Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Clearing, delayed by an early spring, has restarted along a portion of the Vedder Trail.
Wondering what’s happening on the Vedder trail? Some bush clearing and tree planting work east of Peach Road is being undertaken by Canada Lands Company. It’s all part of planned improvements to the riverside trail which will eventually become Chilliwack parkland, said Ken Dueck, director of real estate development for CLC. The work is Phase 2 on the new pathway between the

“We’re doing everything we can to preserve the trees and create a lovely forested walking trail,” he added. Every tree on the alternate trail, meaning the new one that runs parallel to the Vedder trail, has been identified and given a health report by an arborist. They will be thinning some of the older Cottonwoods to make it safer along the new trail, and replanting native species like cedar, fir and spruce trees. Another one of the amenities at River’s Edge are the addition of “green streets,” he noted.

There are plans for a northsouth trail for pedestrians and cyclists to access the Vedder Trail without having to use Peach Road. The Vedder River Rotary trail is easily the most popular and most heavily used trail in Chilliwack with a total of 216,000 users last year, according to City of Chilliwack numbers. Infra-red counters are placed around the city’s major trails to count the number of users.

They originally expected to complete the trail work in March, but an earlier than usual spring arrival meant earlier nesting season, so they had to hold off. “Our environmental consultant just gave us word that there are no birds nesting there right now,” Dueck said. First they’ll be removing invasive species like blackberries, and then taking down some dangerous trees that have been marked in blue.

More change coming for false alarms Police won’t respond unless alarm confirmed

Things will be changing soon in terms of what happens when a false alarm sounds in Chilliwack. First City of Chilliwack moved ahead earlier this summer with plans to invoice property owners responsible for false alarms. Now RCMP is also announcing a change to their protocol for responding to property alarms. Starting Sept. 1, any alarms will have to be verified first before RCMP officers are called to attend. “This is going to make us more efficient,” said Cpl. Mike Rail about the Upper Fraser

Valley Regional Detachment ser ving Chilliwack, Hope, Agassiz, Harrison and Boston Bar. “It will also mean a better use of police resources.” It’s a problem that had to be addressed because excessive fire alarms that call out police or fire services are considered a nuisance, and waste time according to officials. Since the beginning of 2015, local police logged 1,400 false alarm calls. Last year during the same time frame there were 1,356 false alarms triggered, and another 1,414 from January to August 2013. RCMP completed a statistical analysis on the false alarm calls, proposed response changes based on the num-
bers, and then shared the data with the city. “The numbers have been very consistent over the past three years,” he said. Verification before RCMP are dispatched will have to be confirmed by: a property rep, key holder, witness or by two-way voice, video monitoring, multi-zone or glass break notification. As of this fall, the onus will now be squarely on the property owners to ensure maintenance and proper operation of their security alarms. Police will respond to monitored panic and medical alarms as usual however. “What is important is that public safety is our highest priority,” he said. RCMP are offering tips to help avoid a false alarm:
• Test and service alarm systems • Have alarm monitored by video or voice • Know how to operate alarm system • Ensure property representatives can be reached. On the city side of things, starting Sept. 1 people will get one warning before receiving an invoice. To date, no bills have yet been sent out, but the first one could go out as soon as Jan. 1. After Dec. 31, everyone will have to comply with the terms of the bylaw passed by council in 2011 to reduce false alarms. There will be no warnings and false alarms will see invoices fired off to the property owner responsible. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno
Search on following fatal train incident Efforts to identify a fatal train collision victim are underway. Cheam Indian Band chief Sidney Douglas put out the call on Monday to all “sister aboriginal communities” in Sto:lo territory to see if any of their members have been reported missing over the weekend. His message to local communities came in the wake a fatal
train accident Sunday, along the CN Rail track near the Cheam community. “In discussion with the Coroner and the RCMP, at this time identification of the individual is not possible,” Douglas wrote. It is not known if the victim was aboriginal or not, only that he was male, with a heavier
build. “We have been asked to reach out and ask our neighbours to check with their members to see if any of their members may be missing.” Call Agassiz RCMP at 604796-2211 with any information that may assist the investigation.

Chilliwack Votes aims to raise voter turnout Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Chilliwack Votes website went live Thursday to shed light on all the issues percolating in Chilliwack-Hope to do with the fall federal election. “The website is going to be the hub,” said Sam Waddington, a city councillor and business owner who created Chilliwack Votes, along with Kevin Shroeder and David Swankey, to encourage a more inspired and engaged electorate. They’d like to see the voter turnout go up to at least 60 per cent, which is the national average, if not higher. The website will include candidate profiles, Q&A, and general information about what services and responsibilities fall under federal jurisdiction. There will be details about all-candidates’ meetings, and local issues. “You will also be able to interact and ask questions about the process,” he said. The overriding aim is increasing voter turnout and awareness of local issues and local candidates, by allowing them to weigh the responses. They won’t be endorsing any particular candidates or political parties. See chilliwackvotes.com for more.

Careless driving, smoking penalties on way Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature is being recalled Sept. 28 for a fall session that will likely deal with increasing penalties for distracted driving and careless smoking. The B.C. government has signalled its intention to increase penalties in both areas. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced preliminary results of public consultation on distracted driving penalties at the end of June, with 90 per cent of respondents calling for stiffer
penalties for using smartphones while driving. Anton said the current $167 ticket for distracted drivers is not sufficient for repeat offenders, who could have their vehicles impounded. Saskatchewan has introduced a one-week seizure of the vehicle for drivers who get two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart. After dr y conditions sparked an early start to the B.C. forest fire season, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced a review of penalties for violating campfire bans and tossing lit cigarettes.
Thomson appointed Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a former RCMP superintendent, to lead a similar review of those penalties. Morris said he was considering the vehicle impoundment option for careless tossing of
cigarette butts, and prohibiting people from camping in provincial parks if they violate campfire restrictions. Fire bans allow use of camp stoves or barbecues with briquets for cooking, but conservation officers continue to find people lighting wood fires that give off sparks and can spread in dry conditions. The fall session will complete an unusually busy year for the B.C. legislature, which was recalled in July to authorize a project development agreement for the Pacific Northwest LNG gas export project proposed for Prince Rupert.

The people who donated the 10 acres for the trail in Ryder Lake did not know at first that their property abutted Mt. Thom Park, she noted, which ended up being a lucky coincidence. McCormick and Kar ver’s dad were happy to talk about the trail, in the hopes that more people would try it out. It’s now one of three trails that lead to the stunning Mt. Thom summit. The 1.3-km trail in Karver’s name is connected to the summit loop of the Mt. Thom Park. The trailhead is located on Ross Road, off Ryder Lake Road, with a freshly gravelled parking lot with room for four vehicles. It features great maps showing the trail that can be for hiking and equestrian use. As one of the conditions of the donation, the land can never be altered or changed and it will remain city parkland in perpetuity. Mayor Sharon Gaetz hiked the brand-new Karver’s Trail along with city staff, when it was opened officially this past spring. “The pain of losing a child can be unbearable at times,” Gaetz said. “I do pray that as people walk this beautiful trail they will honour Karver’s memory and find solace
and peace in their own daily lives.” Park Operations depar tment held a trail opening in May, and described Karver’s Trail as offering “some of the best views and vistas of the valley and the mountains beyond. “With so many incredible viewing locations it was difficult to choose the best place for the viewpoint sign,” wrote staff in a report. Time has ticked away since Kar ver’s untimely death, but it hasn’t removed the sting. “It’s been a rough five years,” McCormick admitted. “This trail is the only good and positive thing to come out of something so bad.” He was an “eccentric young man” who was “different and special,” she added. “When they made him, they broke the mould.” They have moved on, but the pain lingers. “Those of us left here behind are reeling in shock that someone so harmless could come to such a brutal end,” McCormick wrote in her son’s obituary. Karver’s dad, Jim Morford, said it “bittersweet” to walk the trail now but he truly appreciated all that went into making it a reality for the whole community. “I’m glad it’s here.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

B.C. is the only province where charges and convictions in provincial court are posted on a public database as well as being available to courthouse visitors. One problem is that the information has been used by employers or landlords for criminal record checks that may find a charge but not the later acquittal. Another is posting the imposition of a peace bond, which can leave the false impression that someone has been convicted of an offence. Thomas Crabtree, chief judge of the B.C. Provincial Court, is reviewing the practice of posting court records online, and is seeking public input until Sept. 18. Cour t Ser vices Online has been available since 2008, allowing anyone to search by
name or case number to find information on charges, court appearances and sentences. The online information is blocked if the accused is acquitted, charges are withdrawn, a publication ban is ordered or when a pardon is later granted to seal the record of a conviction. Absolute discharge conviction records are removed from the public database after a year, and conditional discharges after three years. A stay of proceedings means the online case file is blocked after a year, although records for all cases remain at court registries for access in person. In a consultation memo on the issue, Crabtree notes that B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court Services Online help desk received frequent requests to use the service as a criminal record check.

Everyone can be part of the solution to end the scourge of impaired driving Summer is still in full swing, the patios are packed with people enjoying a cold one and backyard barbecues and picnics abound. Unfortunately, summer holidays, sunshine and high temperatures can combine to concoct a deadly cocktail of people drinking and driving. RCMP hold roadblocks and police the roads best they can, but we all need to do our part to end drunk driving. Only a concerted effort will drive the message home that we need to put the brakes on drinking and driving for good. If you know your circumstances may include a couple of drinks, take the time to arrange a ride home or ensure you have a designated driver. It’s much easier to take the time and plan ahead, compared to what you will deal with if you drink and get behind the wheel. It can save your life, the lives of those you love or the lives of innocent others. One bad decision can leave scars that never heal and a trail of shattered lives ruined by a booze-fuelled lapse in judgment. You can be part of the solution by letting the police know if you see someone who is drinking and driving. While programs like drinking and driving Counter Attack and media coverage have resulted in a reduction in impaired driving offences, the sad reality is there are still people out there who just don’t get it. So please, enjoy your summer and help spread the word that there are more than just the RCMP watching. – Black Press
B.C. V IEWS
Is B.C. really burning? Not exactly VICTORIA – On a recent drive through the B.C. Interior, I passed through McLure and Barriere, communities north of Kamloops that were devastated by wildfire in 2003. While these communities have recovered, blackened tree trunks are still visible where fires burned for 75 days and forced the evacuation of 3,800 people. With the early start to this year’s fire season, the media attention and effects of an unusual spring drought, you might think that B.C. is on pace to match that terrible summer. You would be wrong. As of last week, area burned and money spent by the B.C. Wildfire Service had only just exceeded the totals for mid-August during last summer’s fire season, which were high but not remarkable. The number of individual fires
is higher this year, but that’s mostly a result of lightning storm patterns. Spending has topped $200 million, as it did last year at this time before finishing just below $300 million. The 2003 total was above $400 million, and the 2009 season was slightly below Tom that. F o r e s t s FLETCHER Minister Steve Thomson cautions that there are still many weeks to go and hot, dry conditions are expected for much of that. Once the damage is done for the year, the ministry reviews the impact on forests and begins assessment of which areas should be replanted and which should be left to regenerate naturally.
Pine forests need fire to regenerate, and the strategy in recent years has been to allow fires to burn out naturally and contain them to protect people and property. Decades of fire suppression, based on viewing Crown forests strictly as a timber resource, helped create conditions for the beetle epidemic that has left vast quantities of dead wood to fuel more fires. The 2003 fire season set the tone for political debate on forest fire policy that has continued since then. The opposition points to recommendations from former Manitoba premier Gary Filmon that removing fuel from around communities is the best protection. This task has proven impossibly big, especially as rural community tax bases shrink, but the ideological dance continues in

Victoria. The NDP campaigned in 2013 on a promise to double tree planting, and its general approach is to spend more money and hire more staff. Speaking of political dances, Premier Christy Clark has made a couple of appearances at fire sites where homes and businesses have been threatened or destroyed. (Today’s big-city media formula is to emphasize danger and promote attacks on premiers of all stripes. If they don’t visit disasters, they are callous and uncaring. If they do, they’re exploiting the situation for photo ops.) In her first fire scene appearance this summer, Clark warned that drought and huge fires may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms and shifts. This is great positioning for the government’s plan to attend the latest
global climate doom festival in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by recent forest fire results. In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average. Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record. Is drought the “new normal” too? The B.C. government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall precipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow. Snowpacks for southern B.C. were indeed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken? That would be 2011.

Pitching in to clean up mess On Wednesday, Aug. 19 I was returning to my home at Post Creek when I stopped to clean up a disgusting mess of three torn open and scattered garbage bags left by irresponsible campers at the junction of Chilliwack Lake Road and Chipmunk Peninsular FSR. Within several minutes of starting the clean up a truck pulled up and a couple joined in helping me clean, offering the
back of their truck to take away the garbage rather than my car. Within another minute or so another couple stopped by and had extra garbage bags to help with the cleanup. All of us were disgusted that folks would leave such a mess possibly expecting someone else to pick up their trash even in remote areas but we all found a sense of humour as we collected this disgusting, smelly remains of a camping
party. I would love to thank these couples for their concern and their help with keeping this Valley clean and I would also love to thank all the people out there who stop and pick up the garbage left by others, without asking and without receiving anything for their great work. Many thanks. Eileen Brader
Destruction of scientific data alarming Few news items have alarmed me as much as the disclosure by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada of last weeks destruction of the Library of the Agricultural and AgriFood Research Centre in Lethbridge, the 16th federal science library closed since 2012. They report the Harper government has sent to recycling
much of the contents of the 106 year-old agricultural obser vation and research library, effectively crippling the Western Canadian research facility whose purpose is to address the changing needs of Canadian agricultural producers and help the sector adapt and remain competitive in domestic and global markets. The government claims to be keeping
all materials of “business value.” I’d like to know the qualifications of those vetting these materials, and who purports to know exactly what information will be of business value in the future. Past research could be invaluable in a world facing an imminent change in growing conditions. Where is the outrage of Fraser Valley farmers who may
need this information to maintain the viability of their farms in drought, through pestilence and other climate-related stressors? Where is the outrage of the people (us) who rely on the farmers ability to grow produce to feed them? How much more destruction and suppression of critical knowledge will we turn a blind eye to?

Government at its worst People have a myriad ways of adapting to things they don’t like. Those who dislike smoking can ban it in their homes, avoid public places where it’s permitted, ask smokers to butt out or move further away. Likewise, businesses can forbid smoking on their premises. These are all civil, and civilized, responses to a controversial but legal practice.
So is fining careless smokers, or even prosecuting them. Banning outdoor smoking is not a civilized response. It is an abuse of power. It breeds resentment and ill will, and makes smokers feel like criminals. Government should stop invoking the piety card and butt out. Helen Yeomans

Community Jurassic Park plays Friday Night at the lake Friday is the last outdoor movie being shown this summer at Cultus Lake, with Jurassic Park. Artist Maxwell Newhouse is going to mount a pre-movie art show against the gazebo, near the Lakeshore Drive parking lot. He has at some paintings that riff on America’s love affair with the car, starring the drive-in movie or depicting the excitement of cruising down the main drag. A painting from his Let’s Go For A Ride series is coming out of a collection for the one-day art show. “It’s my small tribute to drive-in movies,” said Newhouse. The movies starts just after sunset, and there’s free popcorn. Bring a chair or blanket and some water. The free movies at the gazebo are sponsored by the Community Events and Activities committee, of the Cultus Lake Park Board.

Community Fundraiser to send teen racer to France Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s something no other kid in North America can lay claim to. Racer Jake Hayes, 13, of Chilliwack is heading to France this fall to attend a motorcycle racing school in Marseille, be evaluated, and to compete in two races. “Lots has happened in the last four years as he has become the most winningest rider in Canada,” explains Jake’s dad, Norm Hayes. The invitation has a lot of people excited. “This has never happened to any kid in Canada or North America. This is a really big
opportunity as the team that will evaluate him is an actual MotoGP team, which is the equivalent of Formula 1 for cars.” Those running the school confirmed with his family that this chance has never been extended to a Canadian racer before. Friends and family of the young moto rider are hosting an Aug. 28 fundraiser at Society Gathering House, 9254 Nowell. Tickets are $15 for a burger and a beer and it starts at 6 p.m. They’re raising funds to offset all the travel expenses. Local racing enthusiast Claude Desrosiers called it “an opportunity of a lifetime” for

Akon will be performing at Evergreen Hall on September 19 to promote the long-awaited release of ‘Stadium’, a five-album, five-genre project.
Akon launches world tour from Chilliwack Sam Bates The Progress Akon has been out of the spotlight for a few years, but he’s coming back - in a big way. Grammy-nominated singer, rapper and producer, Akon is set to embark on his Canadian Promo tour for the highly-anticipated release of his newest album collection, Stadium. He’ll be performing here at Evergreen Hall on September 19. Akon is breaking new ground with his plans for Stadium. It will be not one, but five albums, in five different genres. “Through travelling and touring all around the world, I’ve found that my different styles of music are successful with different people,” Akon explains in a conversation
last week with The Progress. Fans of his pop music often haven’t even heard his urban side, he explains, and vice versa among all of his styles as a versatile artist. “I realized that there’s a major opportunity there,” he says. The new set of Stadium albums will allow fans to explore every facet of Akon’s artistic abilities. After releasing Freedom in 2008, fans were expecting Stadium to come out in 2010. After being delayed several times, Akon had plenty of time to get to know his audience, which shaped Stadium into the ambitious project that it’s become. Stadium’s five genres will be: Pop, Euro, Urban, Island, and World. To get a sense for the various styles, Akon has released one song off of each album. Check
them out at akon.com. Stadium will be released in an app format. One album will be available to start with, while the other four albums will be “unlocked” over time, depending on user engagement. The more that fans listen to the music, the faster they will get new music. “This is the first time something like this has ever been done, or even attempted,” Akon explains regarding Stadium’s app release. Expanding into new territory is something that Akon practises outside of music as well. The Promo tour supports Akon’s humanitarian initiative, Akon Lighting Africa (ALA), which aims to electrify rural areas in Africa. From childhood to age seven, Akon didn’t have electricity at his home in Senegal. While visiting home in
2013, he decided that “something had to be done.” The goal is to create a sustainable solar economy. Through ALA’s various partnerships, the program provides an average $75,000 investment per village. In addition to providing infrastructure, the program empowers locals by “providing jobs and training to allow them to build and maintain solar energy,” Akon explains. Rural electricity not only improves access to personal amenities, it also stimulates economic growth by allowing local businesses to have access to the night market. Today, ALA has brought electricity to more than one million homes in 14 African countries, and they are continuing to grow. After a busy tour promoting both
the album and the ALA program, Akon will perform his last date here in Chilliwack, at Evergreen Hall on September 19. In comparison to the other dates in major Canadian cities, this performance will be “small and intimate, it’s going to create a little ripple for the super fans,” Akon says. “The entire tour will build the excitement for the album release and other special surprises” to be announced at the show, Akon continues. Akon will be on stage “hosting a massive party” with Karl Wolf in new band, BAE (Be All Equal), along with Peter Jackson and many other performers. Tickets can be purchased for $55 at the Prospera Centre (45323 Hodgins Ave) or at prosperacentre. com, VIP tickets are also available.

Contrary to popular belief, adopting a healthy lifestyle is not a difficult undertaking. In certain instances, convenience may need to be sacrificed in favour of nutrition, but many people find that living healthy is not nearly as difficult as they assumed it would be when they initially decided to make a change. And it's never too late to make a change! When families decide they want to start living healthier, many mistakenly assume they must abandon their existing habits entirely and start from scratch. But the following are some easy ways to start living healthier every day.
Life
• Eat more fruits and vegetables. One of the best and easiest ways to live healthier is to begin eating more fruits and vegetables. Instead of unhealthy snacks like potato chips and cookies, snack on a piece of fruit, and never sit down to a meal unless you include some vegetables to go along with the main course. Studies have shown that those whose diets are high in fruits and vegetables are less likely to develop certain types of cancers, including cancers of the digestive tract. It has been noted that people whose diets are rich in fruits and vegetables have a lower risk for heart disease, including heart attack and

stroke. • Try to buy organic meats, milk, vegetables and fruit… better yet, buy local! You know what you're getting and what you're NOT… no added hormones, pesticides or other unwanted additives. Your produce lasts longer when the chemicals in sprays are not breaking them down. You're also helping to support local business and you can teach your grandchildren about lessening your family's carbon footprint by not buying food that's been shipped all around the world, using fuel resources and creating pollution in the meantime. • Slow down your eating routine. Some people may already be eating the right foods, but they may just be eating too much of them. It takes time for your body to let you know it's had too much to eat, so eating too fast can increase your risk of overeating. While eating, try to limit distractions that can take your attention away from how much you're eating. If you're always watching television or checking emails on your phone while eating, try a few days of distraction-free, careful eating, and you may find yourself eating less and feeling more energized after a meal. Enjoy the company of your family or friends! • Skip the second glass of wine. The much publicized medical benefits of wine are somewhat misleading. According to the Mayo Clinic, when consumed in moderation, red wine can help prevent heart disease. That's because alcohol and antioxidants found in red wine have been shown to increase levels of high-density lipoprotein, often referred to as "good" cholesterol, and protect against artery damage. But wine also contains sugars that can fatten the liver, and a fatty liver can contribute to a host of serious health problems. If you already drink wine, limit yourself to one glass per day. If you are not a wine drinker, then it's important to note that many doctors believe the potential benefits of drinking wine do not outweigh the potentially negative consequences associated with alcohol consumption, which include neurological problems and an increased risk
for heart disease. • Get more sleep. Inadequate sleep affects the body in a variety of ways. Many people are aware that one poor night's sleep is certain to affect their energy levels the following day, but fewer may know of the link between sleep duration and chronic disease. For example, the Harvard Medical School notes that studies have linked insufficient sleep to type 2 diabetes, as the body's ability to process glucose can be compromised by poor sleeping habits. Other medical conditions that have been linked to insufficient sleep include obesity, heart disease and mood disorders. While you might be proud of your ability to function on minimal sleep, the long-term effects of insufficient sleep can be dire, so be sure to get at least seven hours of sleep each night.

Many seniors are targeted through telemarketing scams in which elders are scared into giving money out of fear of losing their homes. Some are exploited by people closer to home who forge signatures or get an older person to sign over deeds or power of attorney. Criminals often see elderly men and women as easy targets. Seniors may be suffering from declining physical and/or mental health, which compromises their ability to defend themselves or even recognize they are being taken advantage of.

“The lack of inventory is concerning, as buyers are sitting on the fence, waiting for more homes to become available”. The highest number of sales (52) were in the $400,000 - $499,999 range, followed by 39 sales ranging from $350,000 - $399,999. There were 37 sales over the $500,000 mark, including 10 over $700,000. Chilliwack and area’s beautiful setting, strong sense of community and range of affordable housing choices continue to draw new residents from Abbotsford, Langley and points further west. A strong inventory of all types of housing is needed to continue to maintain a healthy situation of supply and demand.

At a time of year when hot weather and vacations typically equate to a slower time for real estate, housing sales soared past last July’s numbers. A total of 308 homes sold last month, compared to 236 in the same month last year.

The 1,375 listings currently on the market are down by almost 400 listings in July of 2014.
“Continued low interest rates and consumer confidence in the BC economy are the biggest factors in a continued strong local real estate market,” said CADREB Presidentelect Richard Admiraal.

Camp Kawkawa. V ision T r ee, the branch of the Chilliwack Alliance Church which organizes and funds community events, has partnered with Robertson Elementar y School to provide students with the opportunity to attend the picturesque, newly-renovated retreat. “The show is open to anyone who enjoys the hobby, two or four wheels, any make, year, or model” says Gordon Mathies, chair-
man of the Vision Tree Cruise-In Committee. Last year’s show featured more than 50 stunning American muscle cars, vintage hot-rods and an array of restored collectors and unique custom cars and trucks. The money raised through car registration, donations and sponsorships goes directly towards sending Rober tson Elementar y kids to camp next summer. Mathies says that Vision Tree hopes

www.habitatgala.com
to be able to expand funding to additional Chilliwack schools in the future. “For many inner-city families, sending their kids to camp is simply out of their financial reach,” Mathies explains. Fundraisers like this “give the kids an awesome camping trip, and it gives the parents a break.” Camp Kawkawa is a 20-acre Christian camp on the eastern shore of Kawkawa Lake in Hope. More than 30 kids were able to attend the camp this summer thanks to last year’s Cruise-In fundraising. Each six-day camping spot is valued at $450, providing endless opportunities for kids to tr y archer y, zip-lining, waterskiing, tubing and more, allowing for personal development and leadership training. The car show takes
place in the parking lot of the Chilliwack Alliance Church (8700 Young Road) on Saturday August 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vehicle registration is required and can be done online at www. visiontreecruisein.com until the morning of the show. Following the car show, registered vehicles will participate in a five-stop car rally around Chilliwack, concluding their cruise at a local farm to enjoy a roast dinner, prize draws, and the Big Bucks auction. The auction has some big ticket items which include: restaurant gift cards, a GPS, automotive memorabilia, designer purses, and the grand prize, $1,500 worth of paint and body work. So shine up those wheels and head over to the cruise-in for a cause this Saturday.

Top 50 finish Brad Clapp enjoyed a solid weekend in Ottawa, finishing in a tie for 47th at the National Capital Open to Support our Troops. The four-round PGA Tour Canada event was held at the Hylands Golf Club. Clapp finished five under par, 15 shots off the pace set by the winner, American Sam Ryder. The Chilliwack Golf Club instructor opened last Thursday with a three-under-par 68 that included four birdies. He had six birdies in Friday’s second round, but double bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes left him just one under for the day. He had no trouble clearing the cut line and finished with rounds of 70 and 71 to pocket $627.81. After missing the cut in three of his first four tournaments this year, Clapp’s now survived the cut in four straight. Four events remain on the 2015 schedule. Clapp will be in Kingston, ON., this weekend for the Great Waterway Classic. Following stops in Peterborough, ON., and Ben Eoin, NS., the season wraps up Sept. 17-20 with the Freedom 55 Financial Championship in London, On. See pgatour.com/canada/en_us/tournaments/ schedule.html
Thiessen in BC battle Chilliwack’s Mitchell Thiessen placed 12th at the BC Golf Juvenile Boys’ Championship, a threeround tourney was held Aug. 18-20 at Vernon’s Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club. Thiessen struggled through a tough opening round 75 (four over par) that included four bogeys. The teenager bounced back with a solid second round 71 that put him back in the championship hunt, carding birdies on the sixth and 16th holes. But he cooled off again in round three, shooting a three-over-par 74 that saw him record a birdie on 10 and bogeys on four other holes. He finished 15 shots behind the tourney winner, Coquitlam’s A.J. Ewart. See britishcolumbiagolf.org/top-leaderboards
The youngest player at Chilliwack Chiefs training camp is 2001-born goalie Boston Bilous, a kid with significant ties to the franchise.

Okanagan air show stuns Huskers in one-sided loss The Valley Huskers offence hit rock bottom Saturday in a junior football loss to the Okanagan Sun. The winless Huskers traveled to Kelowna to take on their unbeaten hosts, losing 66-3 at the Apple Bowl. Chilliwack’s offence gained 98 net yards and
six first downs in the entire game. Quarterback Noah Falconer completed nine of 26 pass attempts for 63 yards, throwing three interceptions. Kelowna’s Raquille Cespedes took one of those picks back 48 yards for a touchdown. Jackson Ryan led the
Husker ground game with 45 yards on seven carries (6.43 average), but the only Chilliwack points came on a 35 yard Ryan Beaubien field goal. The Sun had everything clicking on offence, rolling up 618 net yards. Quarterback Josiah
Joseph was lethally efficient, completing 15 of 18 passes for 238 yards with a pair of TD tosses. Backup Keith Zyla completed two of six in limited time with one major. He was also intercepted by Husker Gurtaj Bhangu, the only turnover created by the
Chilliwack D. Two Okanagan receivers, Terrence Williams and Kyle Kawamoto, topped 100 yards (113 and 111 respectively). Kyle Patchell only caught two balls for nine yards, but found the endzone twice. Sun running backs

ground out 281 yards on 25 carries (11.24 average). Dillon Fortune had 89 yards and a score, with Braden Mann and Abdi-Nasir Abdi also getting TDs. The Sun had nine majors in all, with Thomas Huber adding a 38 yard field goal.
The Huskers have another tough one Saturday as they visit the Vancouver Island Raiders in Nanaimo. Their next home game is Sept. 12 versus Victoria’s Westshore Rebels. See bcjuniorfootball. ca or valleyhuskers.org for more.

OBITUARIES
Clifford, John
ANDERSON Frances Georgina (nee Nile) 1922 ~ 2015 Fran was born in Alliance, Alberta on December 2, 1922, the fifth of the eight children of Albert and Annie Nile. She spent most of her childhood and young adulthood in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta and though they were very poor during the Great Depression it was a hard life punctuated with good times and laughter. She met Bernie Anderson while he was working in Rocky and they married in 1943 while Bernie continued his army training. They were living in Chilliwack when Bernie was sent overseas and later it was there that they made their home, where their children were born and grew up. Fran was pre-deceased by her siblings, all of whom died by the time they reached 80. Fran was very proud to have made it to 92 years old. Bernie passed away in 1993, just weeks before their 50th anniversary. Fran maintained an active life at bowling and bingo and driving her friends around, but this was cut short when her vision deteriorated due to macular degeneration. Mom had a fall in June 2014 and had to leave her apartment on Edward Street in Chilliwack and moved into Menno Home in Abbotsford in September 2014, where she received excellent care and regular visits from her daughter Neecy, who lived nearby, and family and friends who came to visit her. She is survived by her children Gary (Val) of Salmon Arm, Neil (Elaine) of Victoria and Bernice (Lloyd Penzer) of Abbotsford, grandchildren Richard, Bruce, Tim, Erin, Troy and Tara and great grandchildren Zanni, Christopher, Laura, Emily, Brandon and Rowan as well as extended family and friends. Fran was a tiny person with a huge heart and a warm hug for everyone. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. The family would like to thank the staff at Menno for their loving care. A family gathering will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Fran’s memory to the charity of your choice would be appreciated. Tributes and condolences may be left at: www.hendersonsabbotsfordfunerals.com

Heather Mae
LAUGHLIN (nee Mckee)
Heather was taken from us all too soon in a tragic accident on Sunday, 16 August 2015. She leaves her loving husband, Michael Laughlin of Bracebridge, ON and daughter, Courtney Maureen Huth of Chilliwack, BC. Step children Bradley and Ainsley Laughlin. As well as many brothers, a sister, many nieces and nephews and a huge extended family of friends. Family was so important to Heather, she was “the glue” that held her family together. She worked at keeping in touch and connecting with her family whenever she could. Friends were also her family and she was in for life…as her sister*friend of 40 years, Jody Burns can attest to.

OBITUARIES
OBITUARIES
FOR EVERY FAMILY
Life was not always easy for Heather but she was tough and rose up again after every challenge. She found peace and a special family within the congregation and with pastors Jim & Sharon Gaetz at the Church on the Southside. They embraced, accepted, guided and loved her unconditionally which helped her to truly change her life in the best possible way. Her sister in Christ, Tracey McDonald was a huge part of that family as a ‘mom’ to Courtney as Heather wanted. Heather did not pray for an easier life, she prayed for the strength to endure a difficult one…and endure she did…with grace. She worked hard at many jobs throughout her life, and each new job was a new challenge for her to expand her horizons, learn and grow. She was grateful for those who worked with her and mentored her and helped her to gain confidence in herself. Her most important and special role was to be a mom to Courtney who was the shining star in Heather’s life. She felt truly blessed to have been given such a special gift. Heather was so proud of who Courtney became and happy that she found love and happiness. Heather was a bright spark in the lives of all of us but that sparkle remains in all of us and our memories of a very special lady. Let those memories be a balm to your hearts and souls as you mourn. Heather’s celebration of life will be at The Chilliwack Coast Hotel. Friday, September 4 at 2:00 PM. Courtney’s request is family and friends wear bright colors to honor her Mom and if you’d like to bring a photo of Heather to donate to a book she’s creating. In lieu of flowers a donation to BC Cancer would be appreciated.

~ Helen Keller
DWVINICZUK, George It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my father. George Dwviniczuk was born in Hardieville, Alberta on August 23, 1932, to Dora and Mike Dwviniczuk. He was the youngest of four children. Dad joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1952. Initially as a Combat Engineer, and later he remustered to the Postal Corps. As a young solider he was stationed at Canadian Forces bases in England and Germany. When he came back to Canada, his next posting was Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was there that he met a young, bright blue eyed, Canadian Air Force woman. Shirley captured my dad’s heart and they were married in June 1957. Since my father was in the Postal Corps, he could be posted to any military base that had a post office. Army, Navy, Air Force, where all included in his long career. He served on HMCS Bonadventure, one of the Royal Canadian Navy’s aircraft carriers. He also spent six months serving with the United Nations in Egypt and Israel. As a military family, my Mom and I followed my father around the globe. We moved every three years during my father’s career. Dad retired from the military in 1977. Shortly thereafter he went to work for Canada Post, where he worked night shift until his retirement. George enjoyed being around people and was an active member of the Knights of Columbus, and the Royal Canadian Legion. He and my mother would often be seen selling poppies in the mall. Dad loved spending time with his family. He adored his grandchildren, Kristin and Kyle. His door was always open to friends, family, and a wayward dog on occasion. He will leave fond memories in the hearts of many people. In later years, my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. It was heartbreaking to watch such a smart man decline into the world of this disease. My mother cared for my father until her death in 2012. Shortly, thereafter he went to live at Cascade Lodge. Three days before his 83rd birthday, Dad made his final journey. I am sure he is happy to be reunited with my Mom. Our immediate family is a small one, and he leaves behind his daughter Doreen, son-in-law Harry and grandchildren Jackie (Dan), Kristin, Kyle and Julie. He is predeceased by his father (Mike), mother (Dora), brother (Mike), sisters (Helen) and (Mary), and lastly, his wife (Shirley). I would like to thank all the nursing staff on the first floor at Cascade Lodge. The kindness and care that you gave my father was something I am truly grateful for. You are a very special group. His funeral service will be held at St. Mary’s Church, 8909 Mary St. Chilliwack on Friday, August 28, 2015 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Alzheimer’s Society or the Chilliwack SPCA. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca Those were the days my friend Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home We thought they’d never end 45865 Hocking Ave, Chilliwack BC V2P 1B5 We’d sing and dance forever and a day 604-793-4555
