Wayward wallet, cash returned Cabby finds hundred-dollar bills blowing in the street Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s not everyday that you lose a wallet with more than $1,000 in cash and you get it back. But it happened to Nicholas Bosch of Chilliwack. He had filled up his car at the Esso at First and Young, and then drove away, not realizing his wallet was on top of the vehicle. His black Buxton wallet flew off the roof with $1,000 in $100 bills fluttering into the street. Chilliwack Taxi cab driver Surinder Narula was driving eastbound down First Avenue, with a fare, at about 3 p.m. last Friday when he spotted the money rolling in the breeze. He pulled the cab over, paused the meter and started picking it up, finding six bills, and then the black wallet. His customer hopped out and gathered some of the cash, and they put it all together. A passerby also picked up some money and handed it to the driver. “It was so windy, the money had blown down the block,” said Narula. They had every intention of hunting down the owner to return it if possible, he said. They often find things left behind in their taxis, like phones or tablets, and they return the items as soon as they can track down the owners. Chilliwack Taxi general manager Kuldeep Singh took the reins and drove out to the Chilliwack address listed on the driver’s licence in the wallet. He left his business card and a note about what his cab driver found, and left with the hope they’d get a call. Bosch told Singh when he called the local taxi company that he was “shocked” that he was getting his wallet back, with most of the cash intact. He appreciated the gesture very much. The next day he visited the offices of Chilliwack taxi to thank them and have Continued: WALLET/ p7

A worker separates material from a local demolition site into special bags for handling asbestos on Wednesday. GREG KNILL/ PROGRESS

Stop work order issued at Shannon Court again Greg Knill The Progress Workers clad in protective gear were sifting through debris at a Chilliwack demolition site this week, separating by hand anything that might be contaminated with asbestos. But the work was short-lived. The Yale Road site had been shut down two weeks ago by WorkSafe BC following concerns the contractor had failed to ensure the building was free of asbestos before the demolition began. Provincial legislation requires contractors to have a building inspected by a qualified individual before demolition begins to ensure no asbestos is present. If found, the material must be properly handled and disposed of. Failure to do that, says

WorkSafe BC, exposes workers to a “high risk of serious injury, serious illness or death.” The demolition site is at the former Shannon Court Motel near Yale and Menzies. Work began on Aug. 6, but was shut down by the end of the day by WorkSafe BC inspectors. A “stop work order” was posted at the site while tests were done to see if asbestos was present. Asbestos, when sealed and left undisturbed, is not necessarily dangerous. However, if the fibers become airborne they can cause cancers and other lung diseases in workers years later. Indeed, asbestos has emerged as B.C.’s top workplace killer, with 581 related deaths in the past decade, 77 of them last year. That statistic has prompted WorkSafe BC to step up enforcement in the province to ensure

asbestos is being handled properly. The agency conducted 210 inspections last year and found 43 per cent of hazardous material surveys were inadequate, often failing to detect asbestos that further tests proved was present. Often used in insulation, the material can also be found in drywall, floor tiles, cement pipes, linoleum and spray-on fireproofing. Five B.C. cities – Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Saanich and Nanaimo – require demolition permit applicants to first provide hazardous material survey results. Chilliwack does not. At the Shannon Court site, asbestos was confirmed Friday and a plan put in place to remove the debris. However, work was halted again Wednesday when an

inspection by WorkSafe BC found that “safe work procedures were still not adequate for new conditions found at the site.” Inspectors are continuing to investigate and will provide additional information once their report is complete. Once removed, the asbestos will likely be transported to Alberta – the closest area outside Metro Vancouver (which only accepts waste from its region) that handles asbestos. Not all the contaminated debris makes it that far, however. In June about two dozen large bags of asbestos were found dumped just off Chilliwack Lake Road. No charges were ever laid in that incident. editor@theprogress.com ~ With files from Jeff Nagel and Jessica Peters

East dike upgrade on Young Road nearly complete Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Earlier this year, the prospect of elevating the Young Road dike was as controversial as flood protection infrastructure ever gets in Chilliwack. Now the $2.3 million East Dike upgrade is almost finished, with about a kilometre of road raised by one metre, part of ongoing improvements to the city diking system. Costs were shared equally by municipal, provincial and federal governments, and the construction process for most part went

smoothly, according to reports from city staff. The roadway, which does double duty as a dike, was repaved, marked and raised to its final elevation from Cartmell Road to just past Minter Country Garden to meet provincial dike standards. There were a minimum of construction delays, and meetings were held between city reps, the contractor, Martens Asphalt, and residents, to talk about issues such as frontage restoration and driveway access. At this point the concrete driveways and paved driveways along that section of Young are complete,

with touchups expected this week and next week to some of the gravel driveways. A group of Young Road residents and local First Nations residents protested last winter and tried to get city council to stop the East dike project. They questioned projected flood protection projections that the project would provide, and complained the project would lower property values. Others pushed for an alternative dike alignment, but that didn’t ultimately happen. The Young Road dike upgrade was required to boost flood control to protect 40,000 residents, and

it was in the public interest, in the city’s estimation, so the dike work went ahead as planned, while channels of communication with residents were kept wide open. Wherever possible they made significant efforts to lengthen residents’ driveways to avoid creating overly steep grades, which was a concern of some residents prior to the work being done. Some additional landscaping restoration will be completed this fall, along with lifting top soil and hydroseeding side slopes. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Local cyclists conquer cancer with their wheels Sam Bates The Progress A two-day, 200-km bike ride is nothing compared to a battle with cancer. Louise Scott knows what that’s like, all too well. This weekend’s BC Ride to Conquer Cancer, presented by Silver Wheaton, benefiting the BC Cancer Foundation, takes riders from Colverdale all the way to Redmond, Washington. Louise and her Chilliwack team, “Team Wobbly Legs” had a great ride at last year’s event. Louise rode in honour of her sister, Suzanne, who had passed away in 2012 after a long fight with breast cancer. “I’d heard about the ride for years and, as a cyclist, had always wanted to do it,” Louise explains. “When cancer touched my family, it just became that much more important.” After a year of grieving and healing from the loss of her sister, and her mother six weeks later, Louise was ready to join her friend Glenn Cooke of Team Wobbly Legs to do the ride in 2014. The team also rode for Colleen, Glenn’s wife, who had recently been diagnosed with cancer. “It was amazing,” Louise says regarding last year’s ride. “We had wet, cold, ugly weather - but it didn’t matter. You’re riding with so many people who are so inspirational.” Many of whom are cancer survivors, identified by a yellow flag. The 2,600 riders, of all ages, shapes and sizes, support one another throughout the ride. Each of them is there for a reason fighting to find a cure for cancer. Finding a cure is more important now than ever for Louise, who herself was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. In January, she found a lump in her breast. Though the lump turned out to be benign, it brought her in to the doctor a few months before her next scheduled mammogram. What they found shocked her. After an exhausting, stressful two-month diagnostic process, the doctor did not have good news for Louise. “He looked up and told me that “yes, it’s cancer - and it’s aggressive,” just like my sister’s was. I couldn’t believe it.” Louise was fast-tracked into her treatment plan, which required a mastectomy

and chemotherapy. Even though Louise was told that she’d still be undergoing treatment when the race came around, she knew that she “was going to do the ride no matter what.” Even if that meant going a little slower and only riding on the Canadian side, to reduce the risk. Team Wobbly Legs has raised $12,715 this year through family, friends, coworkers and community fundraisers. To date, the BC Ride has raised more than $59 million to support cancer research and enhancements to the BC Cancer Agency. “It really wasn’t that hard to raise the money,” Louise explains. “People are generous when it comes to cancer. It hits close to home for a lot of people.” Though the money has been raised, Louise is incredibly disappointed that she

won’t be able to ride this year. A fall on the 2-km bike ride home after a team meeting on Thursday left her with a broken collarbone. “There’s just nothing like crossing that finish line” she says. “It’s unreal.” And while not having her sister waiting for her at the finish line is by far the toughest part of the ride, the sense of accomplishment at the end is the most rewarding. Louise will be there on Saturday morning for the inspirational and emotional opening ceremonies, and to see off her team: Glenn, Heather and Tracy. “I’m already registered for 2016, and I’m planning to do the entire ride,” Louise says. She’ll ride proudly - for herself, for Suzanne, and for everyone who’s lives have been altered by cancer, with her yellow survivor flag in the air.

Communities struggling to cope with addiction and mental illness are near the head of the line for their annual meetings with Premier Christy Clark and the provincial cabinet. A plea for integrated treatment services to take some of the load from police and hospital emergency rooms is among the main resolutions for the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver Sept. 21-25. B.C. communities are dealing with camps of homeless drug addicts, property crime driven by addiction and violence between drug gangs. The B.C. health ministry recently announced a program to train and equip front-line hospital staff to deal with violent patients in emergency. Sponsored by Delta, the resolution says local governments have made repeated requests for help “without seeing any improvements in services or resources.” It calls for integrated health and psychiatric care, criminal justice reform and access to affordable housing. Maple Ridge has two resolutions dealing with housing. One calls for Ottawa to maintain rent subsidy funding for cooperative housing developments, whose contracts are expiring over the next five years. The other suggests federal incentives for developers to choose purpose-built rental housing, rather than condominiums and other housing for sale. Vancouver, where housing costs have spiralled beyond the means of many, wants the province to support rental housing and take action to reduce real estate speculation. The Fraser Valley Regional District’s resolution on shelter allowances and rent subsidies notes that average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in B.C. is $953, and the provincial shelter assistance rate for an employable single parent is $375, unchanged since 2007.

A shooting suspect has been arrested by the Chilliwack RCMP. Thirty-six year old Beau Lawrence Clark of Chilliwack was quietly picked up Tuesday afternoon in downtown Chilliwack. Clark was wanted on a warrant for attempted murder in connection with an Aug. 10 shooting at the Eagle Landing Tim Hortons. A man, identified by family through social media as Beau Lawrence Shaun Dalke, was shot in the Clark restaurant drive-through. Police tabbed Clark as the suspect two days later and had been hunting him down the last two weeks. “Police were following reports he had frequented the downtown Chilliwack area,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. “Chilliwack RCMP would like to thank the general public and media for their assistance which led to the arrest of Mr. Clark.” Clark will remain in custody until he makes a court appearance in early September.

Oxford-type shoes. He also wore a hand-tooled leather belt with an elaborate design. Glasses were found nearby which indicated near-sightedness and high astigmatism. There were some British coins in his personal effects, indicating that he may have been from the UK or had recently visited there. Anyone with any information regarding the identity of this person, can contact the BC Coroners Service at 604 660-2556.

The BC Coroners Service is requesting the public’s assistance to identify a male who was found dead near Boston Bar 25 years ago. The Identification and Disaster Response Unit of the Coroners Service continues to work to identify a number of cold cases involving previously unidentified remains. This is the case of a white male who was found in a remote forested area near North Bend (across the river from Boston Bar) in December 1989. He was likely between 30 and 40 years old, balding with short, dark brown hair and a trimmed moustache.

Marty’s Grill gets a little help from Chilliwack this weekend Owner in hospital, Cash Mob steps up Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A local business is getting a boost with the return of Cash Mob Chilliwack and a crowd funding account with GoFundMe. The owner of Marty’s Grill on Vedder Road is in hospital, and the family-run business has been forced to operate on a cash-only basis until a banking situation can be ironed out. “It seemed like a good fit for Cash Mob Chilliwack,” said spokesperson Scott McVetty, a local realtor. “It’s for a very worthwhile cause.” Cash Mob Chilliwack is about promoting local business, and building community, he noted. “Marty’s Grill fits all the criteria for a local, family-run business. They have been a fixture on Vedder Road and out on Chilliwack Lake Road before that.” The “phenomenal” support shown by Chilliwack in past cash mob events keep McVetty going, he said. Owner Mar ty Rasberr y’s sudden health and financial troubles were revealed online when a GoFundMe.com

account was created by a friend and good customer after the business account was frozen by the financial institution. “We are asking for funds to help to keep the business up and running until things are sorted out with the bank, and possible legal advice, as there is no will in place and doctors have advised he may not survive,” wrote friend Donna Pascoe. “Your help would be so gratefully appreciated. This family is very endeared to our community, and we hope to raise enough funds to see them through the rough times.” Rasberry suffered a seizure Aug. 20, and was hospitalized. At press time more than $2,000 of the $5,000 GoFundMe goal had been reached. Cash Mob will be at Marty’s Grill on Vedder Road, (next to the Vedder Legion), starting at 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 28, and Saturday, Aug. 29 with a $10 burger, fries and pop on offer, as well as the rest of the menu. Cash only. “I hope people will spend a little money, eat some great food

and feel like they have made a difference,” said McVetty. “Maybe Marty’s Grill will gain a few new repeat customers from the event.” See more at www. facebook.com/ CashMobChilliwack and http://www.gofundme.com/8q2mmp3c Members of the family reached out to thank donors: “Thank you to everyone who has donated so far and thank you in advance

Cultus Lake development survey draws strong response Campground, a lowimpact “ecotourism” recreation area, and a modest-sized hotel. See the future land use map. “We had a tremendous response to the

survey: 584 responses,” said Margaret Thornton, Director of Planning and Development at FVRD. The FVRD does not have results to share at this time as the data is currently being analyzed. Thornton stresses that this document “is a long-term plan, not a development application.” Once PlanCultus is finalized, it will be considered for adoption by the CLPB. The next steps are to compile and report the survey results, review with the Future Plan Advisory Committee and the CLPB, and to begin work on the third draft. The community will again be invited to provide input on the next draft when it is prepared. Visit plancultus. com to view the draft and learn more.

She and husband, Ryan Froese, and their kids, Lincoln, Seph, Jake and Ruby go hiking regularly. "My youngest daughter can do a couple of kilometres already. She can frequently be found grabbing my hiking poles and running out the front door with them," she laughed. Members of the Fraser Valley Mountain Biking Association have been helping out big time and sharing their

trail building expertise. "They've taught us a lot already," said Froese. She's assisted with some trail building and sat in on planning meetings with city reps, and other agencies. Volunteers have been working with City of Chilliwack, FVRD and the Ministry of Forests, as well as local First Nations, to create a multi-use trail system connecting Bridal Falls Provincial Park to the

Community Forest above Allan Road, and eventually on to the ElkThurston saddle and Ryder Lake. "I got involved soon after they formed the volunteer society because I think this work represents the future of Chilliwack and hiking," she said. "It's part of my children's future. The potential is great. "To put a shovel in the ground, and know the result is going to be around for the next 100 years, is exciting." People of all ages and all walks of life have been trail building this summer in the cool forest where the trees are very large, and can shelter the volunteers from the blazing heat of the sun. "There are some pretty magical areas up there, with trees draped in moss and the light coming through." The trails will be accessed from a parking lot on Allan Road, and the last trail building session is Sunday, Aug. 30 at 1 p.m. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

ANSWER: Chemical peels are a great treatment for an instant ‘pick me up’! These peels create an even and controlled shedding of our damaged skin cells as they exfoliate and stimulate the epidermal layers. The acids used in a peel are natural occurring acids, derived from fruits and plants. They work by dissolving the “glue’ that holds these dead skin cells together. It is a very quick, pain free procedure and can be repeated as often as every 2 weeks. After the peel the skin will immediately look smoother, radiant and feel softer, all done over lunchtime! The effect of a peel is a kind of ‘spring cleaning’ for your skin!

The last community trail building session with Chilliwack Parks Society volunteers is set for Sunday afternoon. Volunteer Roxanna Froese said she has enjoyed pitching in with her whole family on the Community Forest Project in the Eastern Hillsides. "Building these trails gives you a chance to be part of something bigger than yourself," she said. They've been clearing and roughing out a 2.5-km loop for beginners and a 7-km trail that's a little more challenging with steeper grades. "The trail days have been fun and relaxed. You don't need any previous trail building experience. We have found it empowering to volunteer as a family this way. "You get a sense of purpose, and it encourages everyone to get out there and get fit, which ultimately builds a healthier community," said Froese.

Firefighters deserve thanks

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The deaths of three firefighters in Washington State are a reminder of how much these brave people are putting on the line, on both sides of the border. Last Wednesday, three U.S. Forest Service firefighters died after their vehicle crashed and was likely caught by flames as they battled the Okanogan complex of fires near the town of Twisp. Four other firefighters were injured including one that was taken to hospital in critical condition. They were on the initial attack, trying to stop a fire before it could threaten nearby communities – in some cases, their hometown. Firefighters know how dangerous their jobs can be, whether it is day-to-day operations of our local department or forestry service crews battling major wildfires. But it’s so very easy for the public to take their work for granted, and it’s stunning when such a tragedy happens. Considering the level of danger, it is amazing that relatively few are lost. Evacuees from the Rock Creek blaze and other fires also are dealing with their personal adversity in loss of homes and livelihoods or the uncertainty of not yet knowing what has been lost. Last week the Sts’ailes band hosted an appreciation dinner to honour the efforts by so many during the battle to quell the fire on the western shores of Harrison Lake. But most of us aren’t directly exposed to the fires, complaining instead about about the smoke and poor air quality. It is all too easy to forget about the dangers faced by the people fighting these fires on our behalf. The deaths of Tom Zbyszewski, Rick Wheeler and Andrew Zajac show us how great the risk firefighters face is, and continues to be for the thousands of firefighters battling blazes in B.C. and Washington. As you read this, they are still digging in with shovels and axes in searing heat and choking smoke, struggling against so many fires it is hard to keep track. We want to extend our thanks to these brave men and women who are putting their lives in front of wildfires to protect people and property from devastation and death. ~ Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Poll numbers offer early look at federal campaign If polls are anything to go by in this marathon election campaign, British Columbians appear to be shunning the Conservative Party and looking seriously at Mulcair’s NDP. An Insights West online poll was held between August 20 and 24 and targeted 815 adult British Columbians. Apparently there has been a pretty interesting shift in dynamics as to who people would vote for if the election was held now. According to the poll, 41 per cent of decided voters would vote for the NDP. That’s an increase of six points since a poll conducted in May. The Liberal Party came in second at 24 per cent (one point less than previously) and the Conservatives at 22 per cent (a slide of seven points). The Green Party was in 4th place with

12 per cent (an increase of two points) of the surveyed sample. True, polls are only a momentary snapshot of the mood of the moment. As parties falling behind are apt to point out, the only poll that counts is the one in the ballot box on voting day. But those who love numbers reach for them Margaret strategically. The NDP’s lead EVANS was pretty consistent across genders and three age groups while the Conservatives got their best numbers from the 55 plus age group. Predictably, the Liberals picked up their best numbers from younger voters 35-54 years of age.

Metro Vancouver mirrored the provincial score with NDP clearly ahead at 43 per cent, Liberals with 25 per cent and the Conservatives with 23 per cent. But on Vancouver Island there was a healthy increase in support for the Greens from 20 per cent in May to 32 per cent in August putting them just seven points short of the NDP at 39 per cent. We’re a lifetime away from polling day and 42 per cent said they could change their minds. Likely that will make things very fluid especially considering the poll found that 75 per cent of the British Columbians surveyed believe it’s time for a change of government, including 43 per cent who voted for the Conservative Party in the last election. In fact, 60 per cent said they would be very upset if the Harper govern-

ment got another chance to form the government again. Between August 7 and 10, Ipsos Reid conducted a poll on behalf of Global News to identify the major concerns that will influence how voters will cast their ballots. They polled a sample 2,022 Canadians. The top priorities among Canadians included managing the economy 76 per cent), addressing the health care system (73 per cent), and creating jobs (also 73 per cent). Addressing the cost of living and keeping communities safe from crime made up the top five concerns of those polled. Ipsos-Reid said on their website that the Conservatives lead on addressing the economy and crime, the NDP leads on fixing the health care system and the rising cost of living while both the Conservatives and the NDP

are tied on addressing the need to create jobs. Insights West reported that the popular guy (or gal) as party leader according to British Columbians puts NDP Thomas Mulcair in the driver’s seat (55 per cent and up 3 points) followed by Green Party leader Elizabeth May (52 per cent, up 8 points). She is closely nudged by Liberal leader Justin Trudeau (51 per cent, up 5 points). Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper had the lowest number at just 28 per cent (a loss of 7 points). Like many in the rest of the country, British Columbians see jobs and the economy as the most important issues followed by government accountability, health care, the environment, housing, poverty and homelessness.

Readers Write I read, with interest, the front page article â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Asbestos threat halts Shannon Court demoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the August 14, 2015, edition of the Chilliwack Progress. It told the story of the halted demolition of Shannon Court on Yale Road, earlier this month, because WorkSafe BC found that a hazardous materials survey had not been completed before theÂ demolition began. Such a survey, if completed properly, determines if asbestos and/ or any other hazardous materials are present in a building and, if so care can be taken and, the hazardous material can be extracted and disposed of in a proper manner.Â Less than two years ago, my husband and I retired to Chilliwack and bought a home

in the older downtown area of the city. We have recently seen many homes demolished in the area and rezoning signs sprouting up on other properties leading us to anticipate more demolitions to take place in the near future. One such site, consisting of three homes, is directly across the street from us. All of these homes, and the recently demolished ones in the area, are of a certain age that would lead one to think that asbestos could be present. I, like James Rogers on the other side of town, have concerns for not only the workers at the demolition sites but also for the health impacts on the whole community from airborne asbestos. The potential compromised integrity of landfills in the area is another concern I have.

Council can do more about asbestos Â As Greg Knill pointed out in his editorial piece in the August 19 edition of The Progress, demolition companies are required by WorkSafe BC to ensure buildings are asbestos-free before demotion and that several communities in the Lower Mainland also demand proof of such before a demolition permit is issued. The City of Chilliwack is not one of them. I would strongly urge Mayor and Council to implement a policy to do so immediately. This is a WorkSafe requirement, already. It just means that the City of Chilliwack would ask that a copy of the report be attached to the demolition application. It is prudent policy and it would appear to be required policy to ensure the safety of Chilliwack citizens.

Bus policy puts students at risk I understand the need to charge for transportation to and from school and am not contesting that in any way shape or form. I am however, contesting the charge of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;courtesy riderâ&#x20AC;? designation for my daughter. Â My home is exactly 3.24 km from G.W. Graham and therefore considered inside the 4 km distance. However, why does School District 33 find it safe for any child to walk at the base of Promontory mountain where there is not one single defined sidewalk? On rainy, or foggy morn-

ings this is just asking for a horrific accident to happen. Will School District 33 take all the fault and blame when a child is hit or run over at the base of the hill? This is asinine. In no way should the school district be financially penalizing parents, and putting this expectation on them. Â I have found a Facebook group that is dedicated to this one fact, that School District 33 is putting our children at risk and classifying them as â&#x20AC;&#x153;courtesy ridersâ&#x20AC;? when there is no â&#x20AC;&#x153;courtesyâ&#x20AC;? given, that

School District 33 is saying, pay this extra fee or put your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life at risk! Â Ask any other parent, or if there is any other parent on the board of trustees, if they would let their child walk down Promontory road at any time. I would like to see this rectified immediately, this sheds a whole new light on School District 33, that this seems to be a money grab in a sense. Â To go from no charge on transportation, to these â&#x20AC;&#x153;conditionsâ&#x20AC;? is unintelligent. Â I see this becoming a much larger problem

in the coming weeks, one that the media will jump all over. Â This is not a veiled threat in no means, just I see this as a child safety issue and when increase in fees on 0.76 km and the expectation of children walking a unsafe road in dawn and sometimes rainy, foggy conditions with no defined sidewalk a child endangerment issue. I look forward to hearing the response on behalf of School District 33, and the views on my childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety. Cassandra Edgington

Candidate concerned about pipeline impact Thanks for your thorough coverage of the City of Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter of comment to the National Energy Board on the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion (Progress, Friday, Aug. 21, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Contaminated aquifer one of Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main concerns: Kinder Morgan pipeline,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Jennifer Feinberg.) Most folks here in Chilliwack would point to water as a source of our quality of life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from our

award-winning drinking water to our expanse of waterways. So, it is reassuring to local residents to find council expressing concerns about aquifer contamination and other water quality issues in their official response to the NEB regarding the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. Of particular concern to myself as the federal NDP candidate for this riding is the fact that the Conservative government has

transferred risk-benefit assessment responsibilities exclusively to the National Energy Board and, indirectly, to industry. A New Democrat government would restore adequate and objective scientific oversight and environmental review processes to ensure that vital sources of our common life, such as the quality of water in our aquifers, are maintained and safeguarded.

Southern B.C. to lead growth B.C.’s economy will grow at a “modest” 2.7 per cent this year, then accelerate above three per cent as major projects in northern B.C. get going in late 2016, according to the latest forecast by Central 1 Credit Union. Low interest rates, a low dollar and recovering demand in the U.S. will help the Vancouver and southern B.C region’s export and service industries most this year, said Bryan Yu, senior economist with the trade association for B.C. credit unions. Manufacturing, tourism, TV and film and agriculture are expected to lead the way. Slow global demand, particularly from China, is expected to dampen growth in northern B.C. and the Kootenays, where mining and resources are key drivers. “Northern B.C. is poised to grow at a faster rate in late 2016 onwards with the start of one liquefied natural gas terminal and pipeline, the Site C dam and other major projects,” Yu said.

Liquor stores collect for fire fund B.C. Liquor Stores have begun collecting donations from customers to help people evacuated and burned out by forest fires. Loss of homes and evacuations in the Rock Creek and Oliver areas prompted the Red Cross to ask government liquor stores for help, as they did in the 2003 forest fires that affected the Okanagan and Thomson regions. Recovering from a disaster is “usually a long and expensive journey,” said Kimberley Nemrava, Red Cross provincial director for B.C. and Yukon. Customers are asked to add donations of $2, $5 or any multiple of those to their purchases. Proceeds will be used for blankets, food and water, reuniting residents with family member and assisting with longer-term needs such as replacing equipment to return to work and helping with rent.

Progress Jessica

Peters 604.702.5575 • jpeters@theprogress.com

Friendships forged in the midst of adversity Jessica Peters The Progress Deep in the wilds of Alaska sits a broken-down, decommissioned Chilliwack school bus. And the group of young Chilliwack men who were forced to abandon it there this summer are now busy planning a rescue mission. The Rowdy Bus, as they christened it, was outfitted for life on the road. The insides of the Ford E-350 are converted for comfort, with Greyhound-style seats and bunk beds in the back. There are hooks for hammocks, too, and shelves for food and gear. A multipurpose platform spans the roof of the entire bus. By day, it’s a great tee-off spot for endless golfing action, and by night it’s a massive place to sleep under the stars. And finally, under its orange hood hides one of several transmissions it took to get it there. But like its predecessors, it’s broken. The grease on the engine is likely mixed with the sweat and tears of Brenden Hills, the mechanic of the group who managed to nurse it that far. The route from home base in Chilliwack to Trapper Creek, Alaska, and a few detours along the way, adds up to about 5,500 km. Hills was one of the eight adventurous men who bought the old bus off of a musician in Vancouver who wasn’t using it anymore. It was in need of repair, but they knew they could get it road worthy. So Hills, along with Lucas Fast, Tyler Dyck, Jared Les, Mike Anderson, Noah Rempel, Ryan McKnight and RJ Bruni, decided to buy the bus and get started on their dream trip. He wanted $900, and they talked him down to $500. Like everything else on the trip, they joke, when you split something eight ways, it’s “basically free.” They left on June 28. What happened along the way from Chilliwack to Alaska was documented in stunning video and photography by Bruni, who owns Inmist Productions with his cousin. Hours and hours of content has now been whittled down to about 13 minutes, and the resulting video Rowdy Bus Goes North has been

A long journey to Alaska is captured in a short film with an underlying theme of adventure and friendships. RJ BRUNI PHOTO

posted to Youtube. The film captures the beauty of the Alaskan Highway trip, and the wonder and excitement of the travellers. But it also has an underlying theme of friendship, as the guys face obstacle after obstacle in their journey. Eventually, the Rowdy Bus makes a final stop on the side of a highway, on July 4. And that’s as far as she would go. The Rowdy Bus eventually had to be towed to Trapper Creek, the closest town. Trapper Creek is just on the outskirts of Denali Park and almost within reach of Mt. McKinley, the tallest peak in North America. Before getting there, they sat at the side of the road for four days, running out of water on day two. They hitch hiked in small groups, because who would pick up a gaggle of eight guys? But they did find a place to call home, at least temporarily. One of

the women who picked them up mentioned her son, Levi, was starting a hostel. The eight of them showed up at his front door, at about 11 p.m. at night. He had hair down to his knees, they said, and a free spirit that they soon found common in the tiny hamlet of about 200 people. “A lot of people helped us out,” Bruni says. Because this is a town where “everyone just helps everyone,” Levi opened his home, where they stayed for the next two days. They eventually pulled themselves together, bought bus tickets to the nearest airport, and flew back home again. But this isn’t a story of defeat. This is just the middle of the adventure. They are making plans to return to Levi’s house, fix that bus and drive it back to Chilliwack.

They are starting an online campaign to raise money, in addition to what they can each contribute from their various jobs. To say the bus has seen better days is an understatement. The Rowdy Bus has seen amazing days. Incredible days. Days of complete joy and adrenaline only experienced by young men traveling unseen roads. It has seen their tears, too, as it broke down time and again along those roads. But it’s adventures like this journey to Alaska that have helped forge their long-lasting friendships. All ages 19 and 20 now, they’ve been friends since grade school. They started hiking locally as young teens, and that grew into longer trips. Last year, they traveled together to California. While the bus is sitting idle, the film is gaining traction online. It’s received almost 200,000

views on Youtube, thanks in part to a Reddit post. They are thinking about submitted it to festivals, and Bruni may extend the film in the future. They’re hoping the film inspires others to live out their dreams and explore the world. Their big dream is the Pan American Highway, from the northern tip of Alaska to the southern tip of South America. Their best advice to other travelers is to be open with your plans, because you never really know where the road is going to take you. While they were ready for mosquitos and bears, they didn’t see either. But they climbed mountains they didn’t knew existed, and met people they’ll remember for a lifetime.

Dreams of a trail network above Chilliwack As the dog days of summer descend upon us, it seems time to take stock of all that was accomplished this summer. I look back on days at the lake, hiking objectives that I have finally ticked off of Sam my list, WADDINGTON and afternoons spent paddling on the Vedder River. These are the good parts of summer; these are the warm sun-kissed memories that we store in our minds for those dreary days in February when the rain and grey overcast seems daunting and endless. Somehow no matter how well-spent a summer is, we always seem to recall those wasted days, those

unachieved goals and those squandered opportunities. However summer is not yet over. The narrative that is being told to us from

meteorologists across the country is that we are in for a mild fall. In fact some are saying that it may not feel like autumn at all, but rath-

er an unprecedented extension of summer. So what to do with this windfall summer extension? What trails are yet to be hiked as the fall colors begin to show and the alpine gets its nighttime dustings of surface frost? This is my favorite season for hiking in our mountains, for exploring in the alpine and for accomplishing a few last minute summer goals. Part of it is the climate I suppose, the mild temperatures make it a little bit easier to stay out all day and carry a heavy pack into hard to reach places. Part of it too is the

Trail workers hope to have first stage cleared by spring TRAIL from page 20 mental game, the summer is fleeting and I am eager to make use of each and every sunny day, and so

I make an effort to carve out the time. With the inception of the Chilliwack Trails Society, and the Chilliwack River Valley Trails Rehabilitation

Project, this summer has held a slightly different flavour for me. I have hiked our trails looking at their needs, instead of their beauty. I am noticing poorly

drained sections and would-be lookouts as I hike in the mountains. Most of the work of the CTS has been done though our head trail builder Ewan,

who spends days at a time with his crew on our trails, building steps, cutting back the ever encroaching brush and overall greatly improving the

experience of being in Chilliwack. I grew up in Rosedale. Every day I would look up the ridge that connects Elk Mountain and

Mt. Cheam overlooking the Fraser Valley, and I would dream of a trail along the height of land. I thought about the views that one could see as they straddled the Chilliwack River Valley to the South and the Fraser Valley to the North. The sections of open alpine and the groves of high elevation old growth hemlock, fir and cedar make this area a rare a beautiful place. It seemed strange to me that it did not yet exist. It never sat well with me that this beautiful ridge between Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two most popular hikes remained inaccessible without a trail and without a plan for one. This summer we went about changing that. The CTS crew and I hiked the Elk-Cheam ridgeline, planning where a trail might be able to be built, and how to make the experience great for the many people who will walk along it for years to come. As the fall sets in we will finalize the route and begin to cut back brush and fallen trees from the future path. This trail will not be ready for this summer, however we are planning to continue working on it next spring when the snow lifts and with any luck it should be complete in its first stage about a year from now. This trail will be 35 to 40 kilometres in length, making it a great two, to three-day day backpacking trip, or a big day for an eager trail runner. Our vision is for a trail that does not have a parallel in this part of the world, for a skyline traverse with 360-degree views of jagged alpine peaks, hanging glaciers, old growth forests and pastoral valley views. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.â&#x20AC;? Gloria Steinem Sam Waddington is owner of Mt.

How many times in a day do you say, “I have to…,” or “I should…,” or “I can’t…?” Think about it. You’re lying in bed and think, “I have to get up now.” Once you’re up you say, “I should eat something for breakfast.” And then, “I have to go do my workout.” Later in the day it’s, “I have to make dinner now.” Maybe you have general thoughts like, “I should lose weight,” or “I should eat healthier,” or “I should be more grateful.”

The words are small, but they pack a lot of power. And your choice of words can impact your overall attitude and perspective on life. Tanja Words SHAW like, “I have to,” “I should,” or “I can’t,” strip a very important power away from you: the power of choice. I’m not going to say

to the spa now.” And when you really think about it, you are fortunate to have the ability to go out for a walk. 2. You could swap “I should” with “I want to,” or “I could.” How many times do you think you should do something? “I should eat better,” is different than, “I want to eat better,” if you actually want to eat better. Again, “should” implies that an external force is making you do something that you don’t really want to do. If you’re not quite ready for “I want to,” what about “I could?” That at least puts you back in the driver’s seat to making a choice. 3. You could switch “I can’t” or “I shouldn’t” for “I choose not to.” For example, if you’re out at a dinner party and someone offers you some chocolate cheesecake, you can either think, “I can’t eat that,” or “I choose not to eat that.” In the latter thought, you’re acknowledging you have power over your decision because you could eat that, but are actively deciding not to. And, on the other hand, if you choose to have the cheesecake, you are making that choice. Acknowledging that you have a choice is simple and very powerful. However, remembering to actually change the words you choose is not always easy. Experiment with it, and try to pay attention to your words (if you want to). By choosing different words, you get to impact your outlook on daily tasks and dramatically improve the enjoyment of your day.

you should change the way you talk to yourself. But, if you want to, you could consider paying attention to how you speak to yourself and experiment with a few simple swaps. Here are three very small changes that can dramatically change your outlook on life. I’m going to focus on nutrition and fitness, but the concept can apply to many different avenues of life, from relationships, to household chores. 1. You could replace, “I have to” with “I get to.” This change is perhaps one of the most powerful. The words “I have to” are a joy kill. They quash any potential for being grateful, being excited for, or simply enjoying the task. “I have to go for a walk” means you have no choice, you have to. Some external force is making you do it. “I get to go for a walk,” however, implies that you have a choice, and it’s something you are lucky to be able to do. The words ‘get to’ naturally create a sense of gratitude for the task. No one says “I have to go

Estate Planning Everyone benefits by planning ahead…

Steps involved with estate planning

lthough inevitable, death is an emotional subject and one that’s difficult to discuss. While estate planning can make people uncomfortable, it is an essential part of securing assets for future generations and can make a death in the family easier for loved ones to handle. Estate planning is an umbrella term that refers to a host of things that must be done prior to a person’s death, including writing a will and even making funeral arrangements. Estate planning attempts to eliminate financial uncertainties and maximize the value of an estate, and allows men and women to state their wishes with regard to long-term healthcare and guardianship for their children. When done right, estate planning can prevent family feuds and ensure that the deceased’s estate

stays in the hands of family rather than being relegated to the government.Estate planning can be a complex process, so men and women should seek help to ensure the process goes smoothly. Getting started Estate planning subject should begin early in a person’s life, especially for young parents. It’s easy to talk about saving for a home or retirement, but it’s not so simple to discuss who will care for your children should you die while they are still minors. Those who are not able to sort through these answers on their own should enlist the help of an attorney or a financial adviser, both of whom can take some of the emotion out of the discussion and put it in more practical terms. The will A will is an important component of estate planning. Without clearly and legally spelling out your wishes, there is no guarantee that those wishes will be honored. It will be up to a state or province to make potentially lifealtering decisions that can impact

In addition to a will, estate planning should include your wishes should you become incapacitated or suffer from a serious medical condition that precludes you from making decisions about your care and finances. Spouses can be named to make important health decisions, but you may want to indicate other information, such as life support measures or organ donation, as well. If you have strong opinions on treatment, medical directives and living wills are a necessity.

Funeral arrangements Another aspect of estate planning concerns funeral arrangements. Many people prefer to make their own funeral and burial plans so that these heart-wrenching decisions do not fall on the shoulders of grieving family members. Funeral planning may include choosing a burial plot, selecting a casket, indicating cremation, and paying for everything in advance so there is no financial burden on surviving family members. According to the funeral planning website Efuneral.com, the average cost of a funeral in the United States in 2012 was more than $8,500 for a burial service and $3,700 for a cremation. That’s a considerable expense that you may not want surviving family members to pay. Estate planning is a process that is difficult to discuss, but one that is essential to maximize your assets and ensure your end-of-life wishes are honored.

We plan for our vacations, our children’s education, our retirement. So it’s just plain good sense to make the same preparations for life’s one inevitable event. When you plan your funeral in advance, you protect your family from having to make complex decisions at a most difficult time. And if you decide to prepay you protect them from the burden of unexpected expenses. It’s a great gift you can give to your loved ones.

Watching the best Confidence is everything to a tour pro, and when Tiger is on, it’s exciting, writes Dick Whitlam

While other teams lean on Jordan Kawaguchi (right) to try and shut him down, his teammates will lean on their new captain for leadership during the 2015-16 BCHL campaign. FILE PHOTO

Kawaguchi to captain Chiefs Abbotsford native Jordan Kawaguchi will lead Chilliwack into the 2015-16 BCHL season, wearing the captain’s C for the Chiefs. The team’s coaching staff announced the leadership group Wednesday and head coach Jason Tatarnic elaborated on their choices. “I want guys who understand and communicate how we do things here,” the bench boss noted. “Off-ice workouts. How we practice and do things in the dressing room. I expect our captain and alternates to lead the way and communicate how things are done.” Kawaguchi isn’t a rah-rah kid. The third year Chief leads quietly, but Tatarnic said he’s got the respect of his teammates. “The guys who don’t have to raise their voice are some of your best leaders,” Tatarnic said. “He says what he needs to say, he’s mature for his age and guys respect and look up to him.” Kawaguchi wore an A last season and Tatarnic saw him evolving throughout the year. “I thought he was already

The Connecticut kid our younger players make logged just 29 regular seaadjustments.” The three alternates are son games, but Tatarnic Bennett Morrison, Mark saw enough to give him an A. Esposito and Ryan “The thing that Bowen. was impressive Morrison’s an with Mark is he interesting case. was always positive Acquired from about it,” Tatarnic Salmon Arm a third said. “He came in, of the way through did the work and last season when the put the team ahead injury riddled Chiefs of himself.

Tatarnic always throws “He’s a warrior who battles and you know he’ll give a young kid into the capeverything he has every taincy mix, and this year it’s time he steps on the ice,” Chilliwack’s own Bowen. The Bowen clan has Tatarnic said. “He’s that rahrah guy who’s well-liked in told Tatarnic Ryan won’t the room and isn’t afraid to be going to training camp stick up for his teammates.” with the Western Hockey

League’s Moose Jaw Warriors. He’s all-in with the Chiefs this season. “Every year I’ll have a young player as an assistant, because I think it’s important that young guys like (Darren) Rizzolo, (Jesse) Lansdell and (Kohen) Olischefski have a guy they can look up to and lean on,” Tatarnic said. “They can’t get lost because they’re your foundation. They need someone they can talk to and relate to.” The common thread with the four choices is they were all here last year. “I thought it was important to have guys who understand how far we went last year,” Tatarnic said. “We were happy with what we achieved but I think there was some bitterness too, and the guys who experienced that bitterness, if we get that far again they’ll know what it takes to get to the next level.” The Chiefs are in exhibition action this weekend, visiting Surrey tonight and hosting the Eagles tomorrow (Saturday) at Prospera Centre. Puck drop is 7 p.m.

Wow, what a great week of golf! Tiger takes a run at a comeback and the LPGA tourr stops in Vancouver. First Tiger. I love how he is now hitting the ball and his putting is starting to come around again. Both of those parts of his game are starting to look k confident. Confidence is everything to a tour pro and yyou ou have to admit, when he’s on, it is exciting. The problem this week was his chipping, a tough part of the game most golfers can relate to. Of course the kinds of chips the pros try are very hard to pull offf and obviously Tiger has more work to do in this area. You can see that he is very anxious over his chips and that translates into quick rhythm and tension. Both are killers of a good chipping stroke. If you are having problems in this area try relaxing your grip and slowing down your swing. Make the swing a little bigger if you have to but keep a nice calm and relaxed movement. Now for the ladies of the LPGA. I went to the Vancouver Golf Club to watch the top players in women’s golf, and as a teacher I always look k for the strong and balanced swings. Guess what? They all have perfect balance and big full swings. They are a joy to watch! The stand outs for me are big hitters like Yani Tseng and Suzann Petterson but all the players I saw were multi-talented. Our own Brooke Henderson is a wonderful playerr and when she finds her comfort on tour, watch out, because she has the ability to shoot very low scores. In order to make a good swing through the ball you must be totally balanced and coiled at the top of yourr back swing. Without good balance and coil you will be unable to make a powerful consistent strike at the ball. Just watch a person like Lydia Ko. Her balance at the top of the back swing is perfect, her knees are still pointed forward and her weight is never beyond the inside of her back foot. Her shoulders are turned at least 90 degrees, creating torque through her core muscles. That’s why a small woman like Lydia can still hit the ball consistently 250-260 yards with her driver. We can learn a lot by watching the best players in the world. Next time you’re watching the PGA or LPGA tour, keep an eye on the perfect balance and coil at the top of their swings.

Fraser Valley Open returns The Chilliwack Golf Club, Sandpiper Golf Course and Falls Golf Club will host the second annual First Class Waste Inc. Fraser Valley Open golf tournament. This three-day, 54 hole tourney will include 40 of British Columbia’s leading golf professionals and 100 amateur golfers, teeing off on the Labour Day long weekend (Sept. 4-6). The tournament is an official stop on the Vancouver Golf Tour, with competitors picking up Order of Merit points. The pro purse is estimated at $15,000, based on a full field. On the amateur side, the top gross and net scores in three handicap flights win prizes. See vancouvergolftour.com/event/fraser-valleyopen/

The University of the Fraser Valley women’s soccer team’s experience and skill shone through on a preseason road trip to Oregon. The Cascades opened the jaunt with a 1-0 loss to the Portland State Vikings, a top NCAA Div. I squad, last Tuesday despite a solid team performance. But head coach Rob Giesbrecht’s squad bounced back to earn three straight victories – 3-2 in overtime vs. Corban University on Friday, 2-0 vs. Pacific University on Saturday, and 3-0 vs. Concordia University on Monday. “Our preseason trip to Portland was an excellent opportunity for our team to come together and to test ourselves against good competition,” Giesbrecht enthused. “It was encouraging that our group improved throughout the trip and had our best performance in our last game.” Friday’s game against Corban University, one of the top NAIA programs in the Pacific Northwest, was a

3,650 roller-coaster affair. The Cascades took the lead on an early goal by sophomore striker Monika Levarsky, but Corban surged ahead on goals in the 24th and 60th minutes. UFV rookie midfielder Brittney Zacharuk knotted the score with her first university goal in the 74th. Shelby Beck notched the OT winner from the penalty spot after a Corban defender was called for a hand ball. Taking on NCAA Div. III Pacific University the next day, Giesbrecht balanced the playing time throughout his entire roster. Levarsky started the scoring and Tristan Corneil finished it, heading in a Sunayna Samra corner kick. The Cascades limited Pacific’s offensive chances, and keepers Emily Harold and Risa Venuto were rarely tested in goal. Against NCAA Div. II Concordia, Beck did much of the damage, opening the scoring from 25 yards out and later converting a feed from Levarsky to make

it 2-0. Amanda Carruthers put the game away by calmly finishing a breakaway, and Kayla Klim and Emily Harold shared the goalkeeping duties and earned the shutout. “Our pace of play and organization against Concordia was excellent,” Giesbrecht said.

Frieda Neufeld (Ratzlaff) passed away Monday, August 24, 2015 in Chilliwack. She passed on her 91st birthday, at peace because of her faith in her personal Saviour. Frieda Funk was born in Russia, immigrated to Canada when she was barely one year old. The family settled first in Arnaud, Manitoba where she attended primaryÂ and secondary schoolÂ and took some nurses training. After several financially difficult years, the family moved to the Fraser Valley in 1944 and settled in Rosedale.Â Frieda married Herman Ratzlaff in October, 1946 and shortly thereafter they moved to Alexander Rd. in East Chilliwack where they operated a small dairy farm, grew raspberries and corn and raised a family of five children -- 4 boys and 1 girl. In 1986 Herman passed away due to cancer. Frieda remarried in 1991 to John Neufeld. They spent twenty-one years together until John passed away in November, 2012. Frieda was diagnosed with cancer shortly after John's death and was able to live in her own place in Cottage Grove until a week before her passing. She very much enjoyed Cottage Grove having made a number of friends in the community. Church and Christian faith was an important part of Frieda's life and she was a member of the same congregation her entire adult life. Her friends at Central Community church (previously East Chilliwack Mennonite Brethren) will remember her as anÂ enthusiastic and long-time choir member, a Sunday School teacher and active in the prayer life of the church. Frieda leaves 5 children Ronald (Martha), Dave (Janet), Betty Wuensche (Ferd), Steve (Bev) and Victor (Miriam); 4 step-children Don Neufeld (Kae), Dorothy Hayden (Ron Hoffart), Dave Neufeld (Darlene) and Vicki Talbot (Matthew); 17 Ratzlaff grandchildren; 10 Neufeld grandchildren; 19 Ratzlaff great-grandchildren and 17 Neufeld great-grandchildren. A visitation will be held Sunday, August 30 from 7 to 8:30 pm at Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave. Chilliwack BC. There will be a Memorial Service held Monday, August 31, 2015 2:00 pm at Central Community Church, 46100 Chilliwack Central Rd, Chilliwack BC. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca

OBITUARIES

Restaurant Supervisor

May 27, 1948 August 16 , 2015 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Claude at Royal Columbian Hospital, New Westminster on August 16 surrounded by his family. Predeceased by his parents Maurice and Henedine Mailhot, his brother Jean Guy, and his sister Claudette. Survived by his wife Geraldine (Dickson), daughter Chantal and Brent Greenfield , son Jason and Michelle, grandchildren Blake and Brooke, and his brother Andre and Jacqueline . Claude was born in Ste. Gertrude, Quebec. He was proud of his Quebecois heritage and his Christmas Eve celebrations. Claude served 21 years in the Canadian Military; P P C L I and Field Engineers and 21 years for CSC. The last adventure of his life was to Bridge Lake where he was an active member of Highway 24 Lions Club. With Claude’s passing we mourn the loss of a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and loyal friend. The family is forever grateful to the staff of Royal Columbian Hospital HACU and the 4th floor Cardiac, staff of Chilliwack General Hospital, Dr. John Chow, Dr. Wai Kon Son, and Dr. Markus Klaus for their compassionate care. If friends so wish donations may be made in his memory to the HACU at Royal Columbian Hospital. A gathering of friends and family to share and celebrate Claude’s life will be held on September 4th at the Harrison Beach Hotel, Chehalis Room from 12:30 to 3:00 p.m.
