Robert Freeman The Progress Three Sto:lo First Nations fighting in court for the return of lands that once formed part of CFB Chilliwack say a B.C. Supreme Court Justice ruled in their favour last Friday. “This victory clears the way for us to proceed with the litigation to get our lands back,” said Joe Hall, Sto:lo Nation president and spokesman for the Tzeachten, Skowkale and Yakweakwioose First Nations. “It’s certainly a positive step that will hopefully get us the litigation we’ve been trying to get,” he told The Progress on Tuesday. The contested lands are east of Vedder Road, and do not include the Garrison Crossing housing development and other developed lands on the west side of Vedder Road. Hall said a Canada Lands Company application to dismiss the First Nations’ action was thrown out last Friday by the B.C. Supreme Court Justice, who stated that the case “raises serious questions of law and general importance.” But CLC spokesman Randy Fasan questioned the provincial
court’s jurisdiction in a matter that has already been decided by a federal court. He said the Sto:lo lost an appeal of the federal court’s decision in the Supreme Court of Canada. Now the Sto:lo have turned to the provincial court, which on Friday quashed the CLC’s application to dismiss the action sought by the three First Nations. Hall said although an earlier judicial review suggested the First Nations could seek monetar y compensation for the lands, “it’s not the money, but the land that’s important.” The lands in question were once part of existing reser ves that were drastically redrawn and reduced in size by the BC government in 1868 without the consent of the First Nations. In June, 2000, the federal treasury board rejected four native land claims on the military base, and moved to turn the entire 260-hectare property over to the Canada Lands Company for redevelopment. The military base had closed in August, 1997 and thus became surplus federal property Continued: LAND/ p12

The long weekend was a busy one for police and other emergency responders in the Fraser Valley. Tragically, it was a fatal one for a 60-year-old Washington State man who was killed after he was hit by a vehicle on Chilliwack Lake Road late Sunday. The victim was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital with critical injuries after he was hit by the westbound vehicle at about 10:30 p.m. just east of Auchenway Road. Police are not releasing more information until next of kin are notified. An investigation by the Chilliwack RCMP traffic section continues. The long weekend also saw a number of ATV accidents in the Fraser Valley. A 42-year-old Calgary woman was airlifted to Vancouver General with serious injuries after an ATV accident on Saturday near Portia Road north of Hope. Police said it appears inexperience in operating an ATV could have played a role in the accident. A second ATV accident was reported Monday just after 4 p.m. on the west side of Harrison Lake on the Chehalis Forest Service road. Police said a 19-year-old male driver from New Westminster failed to negotiate a turn in the road, and he and a 21-year-old female passenger from Mission were thrown from the ATV. The passenger was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital, while the driver was treated on the scene for minor cuts and scrapes. Police said while alcohol did not appear to be involved, excessive speed for the terrain could have been a contributing factor. Meanwhile, Hope RCMP members responded to a report of a stabbing near Yale early Saturday morning. A fight between two males resulted in one man stabbed in the arm.

Huge steel dragon headed for the PNE The mirror-polished, stainless-steel dragon was built in 2009 by sculptor Kevin Stone and is 12-feet tall Katie Bartel The Progress Chilliwack’s iconic steel dragon is leaving town. Metal sculptor Kevin Stone will be showcasing his Imperial Water Dragon at the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) in Vancouver later this month. He hopes not to get it back. “I hope to sell it ... I hope it will stay in Vancouver and become a community piece,” he said. Given the success of other artists showcased at the PNE, Stone could very well get his wish granted. PNE organizers came across Stone’s website earlier this year and after making a trip to his Metal Animation Studio on Upper Prairie Road, they felt the dragon was perfect for the annual fair. “It was just spectacular,” said Laura Ballance, PNE spokesperson. “If we get an opportunity to bring in a piece as magnificent as the one from this local artist, we will. We think it’s going to be something really different ... a big hit.” The dragon will be located in Spirit Plaza and will be featured in the middle of the container art program, a fortress of stacked

shipping containers where local multi-disciplinary art is showcased. PNE organizers believe it will be a show stopper. The mirror-polished, stainless-steel dragon,
built in 2009, is 12-feet tall, 35-feet long coiled – 85-feet uncoiled. Within the creation, the nine entities of a Chinese dragon are featured, including the head of a camel, horns of a deer,
scales of a carp, eyes of a rabbit, ears of a bull, neck of a snake, belly of a clam, paws of a tiger and claws of an eagle. The dragon is also holding a giant pearl, which
signifies the world, and represents celestial and terrestrial power, as well as wisdom and strength. “Hopefully a lot more people who haven’t had an opportunity to see and
experience it, will have the opportunity to see and experience it at the PNE,” said Ballance. “We’re certainly giving it a marquee spot within the fairgrounds.” With an estimated one million people from around the province, country and the world visiting the fair, Stone’s sculptures will no longer be Chilliwack sculptures – they’ll be world sculptures. Previous PNE artists have gone on to become stars, including Michael Buble, or have had their work featured in galleries throughout Europe, or purchased within days of the fair opening. That’s what Stone is hoping for. “Next year is the year of the dragon and I think that will be a really big selling feature for my dragon,” said Stone. “Ideally, I just want to see it permanently displayed somewhere for people to enjoy and where they don’t have to search the farmlands just to see it.” The dragon is scheduled to be transported from Chilliwack to the fair grounds in Vancouver on Aug. 15. The PNE runs from Aug. 20 to Sept. 5. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33
Beautifying downtown Chilliwack one street at a time Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The focus of downtown greening efforts are now shifting to Yale Road East. Planting beds will be going in next month on the stretch of road from Five Corners heading east to Nowell Street. “It’s a continuation of the improvements completed on Wellington Avenue,” said Alvin Bartel, chair of the Downtown Chilliwack BIA’s greening and urban design committee. The downtown core has been a bit of a “mishmash,” design wise, with concrete sidewalks, old brick sections and gutter trenches with grates, said Bartel, an architect with
Craven Huston Powers. “None of that was working,” he said. BIA officials came up some ideas for the greening project, and worked closely with city parks and engineering staff to make the series of changes with a $100,000 budget. They started by removing some of the “islands” in red brick, located between the curb and the sidewalk, and replaced them with lovely landscaping beds. “Wellington looks great now,” Bartel said. “But Yale Road never got any attention, so that’s where we’ll be turning our focus.” The extra plant matter in the landscaping beds will help the city reduce its car-

had issues with the garbage receptacles downtown,” he said. Mischief incidents were becoming too common with the barrel-style garbage containers. They were often knocked over or fires were set in them. Sometimes people tried to dump off their household waste in them. In response, the BIA has purchased 10 stainless steel recycling/waste bins to replace the open waste receptacles. “It’s about getting people to start diverting their waste into different streams,” he said. There is no curbside waste collection downtown currently provided by the city’s contractors.
“Maybe that’s something we can look at one day,” Bartel added. In the meantime the new landscaping beds will eventually offer a softening of the look of the streets with added colour and variation. “It will be a big visual improvement,” he predicted. Downtown Chilliwack Business Improvement Association and Chilliwack Economic Partners Corp. each contributed 25 per cent, while the City of Chilliwack chipped in 50 per cent of the greening project costs. The actual start of the Yale Road phase of the work is dependent on city crew availability in September. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

A Little Girl Called Squeaks is a story of hope and faith emerging out of the depths of despair. Chilliwack resident Laura Gilbert was nicknamed “Squeaks” as a young girl, and the fast-paced story of her life was written by her friend, Debbie Maddigan. “This was not an easy book to do,” Gilbert tells The Progress. “Going back through all those chapters was quite hard.” Neglect. Violence. Addiction. Abuse. All of these figured prominently in her early life which took her from Penticton and Princeton to Vancouver’s downtown eastside. The book is also an incredible story of sur vival, chronicling Gilbert’s journey to sobriety and stability. Making it through was made possible with the help of what she calls “God shots.” “I think God shots

are times in our lives where we can look back and see how God shot his presence into our midst,” she writes at the end of the book. Gilber t and Maddigan met when Maddigan was a pastor several years ago. Gilbert mentioned that her counsellor had suggested she write a book about her life. Writing a book had always been on Maddigan’s bucket list, and voila, the book project was born. They met weekly for a year. Gilbert, who reads at about a Grade 4 level, would tell her agonizing story, while Maddigan made copious notes. “There were times when I had to take a break from it,” she says. “It tore my heart out at times. Even today our children are not necessarily valued the way we think they should be. The big problem was that nobody was Laura’s advocate.” Society as a whole needs to step up and advocate for kids in
trouble like Laura, says the book’s author. She vowed henceforth never to suspect a child was in trouble and not to report it. “I think it’s a travesty that children are living this life,” Maddigan offers. “This is what happens to them if we don’t step in as a society and be a voice for these children. They’re abused and broken little people, and many fall into drugs and alcohol.” In the book, Gilbert was only a little girl when her mom would stash her under the bed while entertaining men for money. “That really happens and not just on TV,” Maddigan says. The two women grew very close in the process. They laughed and cried in equal measure. “She and I are like sisters now. And it’s our hope people will understand what this kind of life is like, and see that there are ways to get out, if they desire it.” The atrocities the young Gilbert lived

should have made her the most miserable and bitter person on the planet, Maddigan says. “But when people meet her, they find the most sweet, beautiful and kind person,” she says. “That’s the work of God in her life.” If even one reader is helped through her story, Gilbert says it will all have been worth the trouble. “They say you’re only as sick as your secrets,” she says. “I wanted to get my story out there in order to serve God, and also to help kids like me, who have given up and have no hope. “I want them to know, no matter what, it is possible to heal and get better.” Meet Laura Gilbert and Debbie Maddigan in person, where they will be selling the book, A Little Girl called Squeaks, at Party in the Park Night Market, on Friday, Aug. 5 starting at 5 p.m. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

8937 School Street by November. The $10-million project is a partnership between Chilliwack Community Ser vices, the Creative Centre Society, Olympic Legacy Housing and the B.C. government. “We’re excited about it coming operational,” Jennifer Ridgeway, executive director of the Creative Centre Society, said Wednesday. The project was initially expected to open in April, but she said weather-related issues delayed construction, not an uncommon occurrence in B.C. “We’re quite happy with where things are at,” she said, about the new completion date. “There are delays in ever y construction project.” The pre-fabricated housing units, which once accommodated Olympic athletes in Whistler, were reconfigured to fit a design planned by the Creative Centre Society and Chilliwack Community Services. The facility — now called The Village — will provide affordable housing for a total 33 people, 22 adults
at risk of homelessness because of mental health issues, plus housing and counselling for 11 young people, also at risk of being homeless. C h i l l i w a c k Community Ser vices will operate the 11 apartments for youth located on the second floor, while the Creative Centre Society operates the 22 apartments for adults on the third and fourth floors. The facility will also provide office space for staff to support youth residents, plus a community kitchen, dining area, lounge and reception area. In a news release announcing groundbreaking ceremonies in June last year, Ridgeway said the housing development “will provide a supportive environment where people are able to experience a real sense of belonging.” “We are pleased to be a partner in this project as it furthers our ability to support people with mental health issues as they reintegrate into society,” she said. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Twenty-two motor vehicle accidents reported on weekend WEEKEND from FRONT The 41-year-old victim managed to make his way to the Fraser Canyon Hospital where he was transferred to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital for treatment. He was released later that day. A 43-year-old Agassiz resident, Cyril Dean Prescott, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily arm. He was scheduled to appear in provincial court Tuesday. An investigation by Hope RCMP continues. Police said three canoeists from Burnaby were lucky a jet boat operator from Surrey was nearby when their canoe capsized near Harrison Mills on Monday. Kent Search and Rescue, RCMP, and Emergency Services Personnel were en route when the jet boat operator plucked all three Burnaby men from the water, and retrieved their canoe as well. “It needs to be recognized that the young
men from Burnaby were all wearing lifejackets,” RCMP Cpl. Barbara Vincent said. The Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment Seasonal Policing Unit also reported a busy weekend enforcing the Liquor Control Act and safe operation of ATV’s. Multiple ATV patrols were conducted and boat patrols were made on Harrison and Cultus Lakes, along with numerous road blocks. Patrols were conducted in the Silver Skagit, Sunshine Valley and Jones Lake area near Hope, as well as the Chilliwack and Cultus Lake areas, and both east and west sides of Harrison Lake. Vincent said a new mobile policing unit was created which allowed for 24-hour coverage on the west side of Harrison Lake, and that same unit will be out for the upcoming Labor Day weekend. She said the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment is reminding the public that safe and responsible operation of ATV’s, motorbikes and boats must
be adhered to. “That includes having a sober driver on any machine and wearing appropriate safety clothing, including helmets while driving ATV’s and motorbikes,” she said. “And ever yone should not just have a life jacket available, but actually wear the life jacket while in or operating any water-craft,” she said. Finally, the Chilliwack RCMP detachment
reported 22 motor vehicle accidents over the long weekend. Two impaired drivers were apprehended, 11 immediate roadside prohibitions for alcohol were issued and two 24-hour suspensions issued for drivers impaired by drugs. Three prohibited drivers were apprehended and four violation tickets issued for excessive speed.

Faulty heat lamp believed cause of bathroom fire A faulty ceiling heat lamp was the apparent cause of a fire in a bathroom of a home in the 47000-block Greenhill Road late Sunday. Damage was limited to the ceiling area of the bathroom. Two occupants at home at the time of the 11:30 p.m. fire were evacuated unharmed. “Preliminary investigation into the cause of the fire appears to be a faulty ceiling heat lamp that malfunctioned and subsequently ignited the insulation in the attic space,” Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Ullyot said. Investigations by the BC Safety Authority and the Chilliwack Fire Department continue, he said.

Strahl backs hunt for war criminals Robert Freeman The Progress With the arrest of a fifth suspected war criminal living in Canada illegally, Chilliwack -Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl says the government’s decision to publicize the names and photos of 30 accused with crimes against humanity was the right one. “We received a strong mandate from Canadians to keep our streets and neighbourhoods safe,” Strahl said in a July 29 statement. “Thanks to help from the public, five suspected war criminals are no longer on the street,” he said. “I believe this is a good start.” The Conservative govern-
ment released the identity of 30 individuals on July 21 who are sought on Canada-wide warrants because they are suspected of committing crimes against humanity and thus ineligible for admission to Canada. Strahl said the 30 exhausted appeals to an immigration tribunal, ignored deportation orders and are believed hiding in locations across Canada. With the help of public information, Abraham Bahaty Bayavuge, a suspected war criminal from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was found recently living in Ottawa and is now in custody of immigration officials. Four others were found living in locations in Montreal, Toronto, and Edmonton. Immigration Minister Jason
Kenney said Canada is recognized around the world for its leadership in holding perpetrators of human rights abuses accountable for their crimes. “Canada will not be a safe haven for anyone involved in this heinous crime,” he said. Strahl agreed, saying “Those who abuse our immigration system will be brought to justice.” The list of suspected war criminals can be found at the Canada Border Services Agency website at www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/wc-cg/ menu-eng.html Members of the public are reminded not to take action to apprehend any of the listed individuals, but to report them to the CBSA Border Watch Line at 1-888-502-9060.
The Progress Another principal has left the Chilliwack school district. Mar y-Anne Smirle, former principal of Chilliwack middle school, has accepted a position with the Abbotsford school district as assistant superintendent. Smirle’s resignation is the second of the summer after Scott Wallace, longtime principal of Central elementar y, announced his departure in June for the West Vancouver school district. Superintendent Michael Audet said that while it’s sad to see the longtime administrators leave the school district, it’s not cause for concern.
“We’ve had a challenge in the last three years of sustaining our excellent school leaders,” said Audet. “It’s sad for us to see them go, but again it’s a reminder for us that it is a competitive market for educational leaders.” And because of that, the school district implemented a Collaborative Learning for Leaders (CL4L) program three years ago. CL4L is a comprehensive, two-year program that helps further develop leadership skills and provides ongoing support for district leaders. The program is designed for principals, vice principals, managers, trustees, heads of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association,

CUPE, and the District Parents’ Advisor y Council. It meets ever y month during the school year with planned topics of discussion. “We use to meet with our principals once or twice a year, now we’re doing it regularly with set times and set topics,” said Audet. “And it’s not just principals and vice principals, it’s all managers.” As a result of the program, three teachers from within the district have been promoted to vice principals, and David Manuel, former vice principal at Chilliwack secondar y has been promoted to principal at Fraser Valley Distance Ed, replacing Trish Williams who retired at the end of
last school year. The district has not yet filled the vacant principal slot at Chilliwack middle. “I’m hoping that we’ll be able to continue this development program we have for our leaders, sustain it, and continue to grow our own and keep our own,” said Audet. “One of the things I’m working on in my own growth plan is,” figuring out how “I help our school district build sustainable leadership for 2012 and beyond.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Good people wanted Halfway through summer, most of us aren’t thinking too much about the fall and this November’s municipal election. But if you’re thinking about running as a candidate, the weeks are running out for you to begin planning your campaign. Judging by recent elections, most municipalities are in dire need of more names on the ballot to spark interest among voters. If you care about where you live and want to make a difference in even one aspect of your community, consider putting your name forward as a candidate for council, school board or mayor. Qualifications are far from onerous. If you’re 18 or older, a Canadian citizen and have lived in B.C. you’re pretty much OK to run. You’ll need to keep track of election-related expenses and contributions and have at least two people willing to nominate you. There are a few other rules to know if you do get serious about running. It’s also a good idea to understand that life can seem crazy once everyone’s on the campaign trail. Traditionally, municipal election season kicks into full gear after Labour Day. The thinking is that most of us can’t be bothered to ponder the issues affecting our communities when the weather’s warm and we’re busy planning upcoming holidays or invites to backyard barbecues. We’re a little more willing to do our civic duty and tune into local issues once the kids are back in school and summer vacation is behind us. Make no mistake though, savvy politicians know they’ll have to hit the ground running once we return to the routines that signal September’s arrival. If you’ve ever thought about participating in politics, now is the time to make sure you’re ready when the silly season arrives. ~ Black Press

Green Party gets lost in the static VICTORIA – The election of Elizabeth May as Canada’s firstever Green Party MP was supposed to be a breakthrough for environmental issues. Finally embraced by voters in the organic farming region of Saanich-Gulf Islands, May was given a mandate to change the political conversation about sustainable development, climate change and pollution. The breakthrough might even translate to the provincial level, where Jane Sterk is the latest of a line of B.C. Green leaders to toil in obscurity. It’s too bad they both threw away their scientific credibility last week, by chiming in with the tiny tinfoil-hat movement and its trumped-up opposition to BC Hydro’s transition to wireless meters. May got the tinfoil ball rolling by decrying the use of wireless

internet. It might be contributing to bee colony collapse, she mused on Twitter, to much ridicule. Apparently she believes that using a computer connected by a wire keeps her free from the radio waves that surround us all. They are generated not only by computers, cell phones and smart meters but all sources of light, including the infrared light Tom that accompanies FLETCHER body heat. May then cited the much-hyped revelation that the World Health Organization has listed radiofrequency waves as a possible carcinogen. Radio waves such as those generated by cell phones and wireless routers were moved to a classification called 2B, which
also includes such volatile substances as pickled vegetables. What this actually means is that health effects can’t be ruled out. It’s impossible to prove that something’s impossible. But after many years of study, the evidence that cell phones and such devices cause illness remains at precisely zero. With May alongside, Sterk called a news conference last week to demand a halt to BC Hydro’s smart meter program. The first question from a reporter was, why are you reversing the BC Greens’ 2009 election platform, which called for installation of smart meters by 2012, followed by imposition of time-ofuse electricity pricing to reduce consumption? Sterk expressed surprise, apparently having forgotten her own position from only two years ago. Political credibility takes
years to build but only seconds to destroy. I attended the B.C. Green Party’s 2007 leadership convention at which Sterk was elected. It came after a long and divisive debate over whether cell phones could be used at the meeting. They were finally allowed, but this “issue” apparently took up more time than any policy discussion. Why is BC Hydro putting in smart meters? First, mechanical meters are obsolete and soon won’t be available. Second, B.C. is about twice as big as Germany. Finding, let alone fixing damaged power lines is a monumental task. A smart grid (much more than just digital meters) is not only self-assessing, it can be made self-healing, rerouting power to blacked-out areas when weather, transformer failure or vehicle accidents cut power.

Do smart meters continuously communicate with a “mother ship,” as some claim? Do they record when you get up at night to pee? No and no. These are the kinds of nonsense claims that surround the smart meter issue. BC Hydro says four to six transmissions from a smart meter to a local hub each day amount to about a minute in total. Radio wave exposure is equivalent to a half-hour cell phone call every 20 years. The British National Cancer Institute just published an extensive study of children with brain tumours and exposure to cell phones. Like previous studies, it found no correlation. Somebody should send a postcard to the Green Party and tell them about it. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Never give personal information over the phone In the past few weeks, we have heard from a few customers that they have received a phone call from someone claiming to represent Microsoft, telling clients that their computer has been hacked and they want access to their
computer to check the problem. Given access they then say they have found a problem and for a small payment they will fix the problem. This will require payment from PayPal, Visa or MasterCard. Question you should
ask yourself; how does Microsoft know your phone number? They would never call you for this. Never give personal information over the phone, or give access to your computer to someone you don’t know.
If you think someone hacked your computer, have it checked at a reputable computer store. Scammers seem to be going through the Chilliwack phone book.

Claim raises ‘novel and complex issues’ says B.C. Supreme Court Justice open to native land claims. In his reasons for judgment, Justice Bruce Butler said the case “raises novel and complex issues regarding aboriginal title and the remedies that might be available to First Nations claimants in circumstances where land has been transferred to third parties with full knowledge of the claimants’ alleged interest in the land.” “The novelty of the claim is not, however, a reason to strike (dismiss) the claim,” he added. “A claim should only be struck where it is plain and obvious that the pleadings dis-
close no reasonable cause of action.” Butler said he would recommend the Chief Justice arrange for the “early assignment of a trial judge” to decide if additional parties or amendments to the pleadings are required in further court proceedings. He said the federal court’s earlier dismissal of the Tzeachten appeal “does not dispose of any claim the Tzeachten may assert” for compensation or for Aboriginal title. “The matter of compensation remains open to negotiation or litigation in relation to either of those claims,” he ruled. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Metro growth plan clears final hurdle Black Press A new accord to limit and shape growth across Metro Vancouver for the next 30 years is now in effect after the only holdout city – Coquitlam – dropped its objections and signed on.

It should be more enforceable, requiring cities to concentrate dense development within an urban containment boundar y that protects farmland, low-density rural areas

and green space from sprawl. But the key changes are new rules to limit the redevelopment of industrial land into condos and stem the rapid proliferation of suburban office parks in areas hard to serve with transit. “That imposes tremendous public costs,” Burnaby Mayor and Metro regional planning chair Derek Corrigan said. Inefficient development undercuts transit use and increases road congestion and air pollution, he said, increasing public costs in other ways. Critics, including some Coquitlam reps,

little public awareness as planners in each city customized how it would apply locally. Most disappointed will be a coalition of business groups that wanted looser development rules since most of the land base is already protected by the Agricultural Land Reserve or other designations. The Business Coalition for a Sustainable Region feared more red tape on development would stifle job growth and constrict the shipment of goods through the growing Pacific Gateway. Metro and Coquitlam seemed headed for arbitration over the impasse, but Coquitlam reps backed down after mediated talks. Had Coquitlam kept its heels dug in, the delay might have made the growth strategy a political football in November’s civic election, unravelling the agreement.

“The region has gone to great lengths to accede to the wishes of each community,” said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart. “It’s better than nothing but it has some significant shortcomings. Those of us who believe in regional planning might perceive that this isn’t regional planning.” The strategy was ratified by all 20 cities, the Tsawwassen First Nation, TransLink and both neighbouring regional districts after several years of work, three sets of consultations and dozens of public meetings. Metro planners predict the region will attract a million more residents over the next three decades and the plan aims to accommodate them without sacrificing farmland and green space. The vision is to build compact urban communities where residents can more easily walk, bike or take transit from home to where they work, study or play.

VICTORIA – B.C. recorded a slight net loss of people migrating to other provinces in the first quarter of 2011, according to preliminary data compiled by Statistics Canada. B.C.’s total population continues to grow, reaching more than 4.5 million as of April 1. But for the first quarterly period since 2003, the number of people moving to other provinces exceeded those moving from other provinces into B.C. The net loss was only 98 people, with 12,598 people moving to B.C. and 12,696 moving out in the first three months of the year. B.C. experienced consistent net loss through interprovincial migration from 1997 to 2003, an oftencited statistic in B.C. political debates about the effect of NDP government policies in the province during the 1990s. B.C. saw its largest net loss of 893 people to Alberta, with 6,704 people going east and 5,811 moving west in the first three months
of 2011. B.C. recorded net gains of 372 people from Saskatchewan and 442 from Manitoba from Januar y to March. BC Stats, which tracks the figures, warns that preliminary figures are estimates and won’t be finalized until September. International immigration continues to add to B.C.’s population, with a net 7,328 immigrants arriving in B.C. in the first quarter of this year. That’s 15 per cent of the total immigration to Canada during that time, with B.C. holding its thirdplace position behind Ontario and Quebec. B.C.’s population grew by 47,814 people during the 12 months prior to April 1, with a quarter of the growth due to natural increase – births minus deaths – and most of the remainder moving here from other provinces.

Perspectives: ‘Superstition is magical thinking’ These ideas though, are deeply ingrained in our culture. Certain numbers are bad luck, yes? Certain numbers are lucky numbers. It is no surprise that so many of us have superstitions. Perhaps Dr. Rob most of them are LEES harmless. As children we draw conclusions on limited evidence and these habits of mind follow us into adulthood. These are abetted by a culture that supports the notion of “luck” without helping us to understand chance, probability and the concept of randomness. Our adult brains know that things happen for a reason. Sometimes we can’t understand but most mysteries have explanations. We know that life guided by superstitions is a hallmark of less developed and less well educated cultures. So what are we to do? First, screen your own attributions. An easy test is to ask yourself, when things go wrong do you look for rational reasons or do you think “I just knew this would happen”. If you really knew it was going to happen, why didn’t you do something about it? Superstition presents the luxury of not taking responsibility. Second, we need to look at how we talk to children about adversity and good fortune. Most of us will, over a lifetime have some adversity and unfairness. Some will have more than others. It doesn’t mean one is jinxed and another is destined to privilege. Starting from a young age children can be taught to look for rational explanations and to understand cause and effect. This leaves them less prone to “make up” reasons, which is essentially the province of superstition. Dr. Rob Lees, R.Psych is the Community Psychologist for the Ministry for Children and Family Development in Chilliwack.

Although the prevalence of social media may lead us to think there is not much left in life that is private, psychologists and counsellors know that we all have secrets and schemas to which we alone are privy. In fact, we know that much of our inner life may be outside of even our own awareness. With these thoughts in mind I invite you to consider the second of the cognitive distortions my colleagues and I will be reviewing in this column over the summer – “superstitious thinking”. This follows on Eryn Wicker’s column about the cognitive distortion named “fortune telling”. Remember that cognitive distortions are like a set of lenses through which we filter events. Here is a common example of superstitious thinking at work. A client who has suffered many set- backs and adversities starts having things go right for a change. People congratulate her. Rather than bask in success this praise feels uncomfortable. Why? Because her superstitious thinking tells her “if things go too good, I just know something awful will follow.” This is akin to thinking that bad things come in threes. I remember a client telling me that he asked his dad a question: “When are we going to Disneyland?” In response his dad became sombre, took him aside and said “son, your mom and I are getting a divorce. There won’t be any Disneyland.” For years this client thought, “if only I hadn’t asked about Disneyland.” To his child’s mind, asking jinxed the family. Superstition is essentially magical thinking. The young men in my family were telling me about all the hockey stars that have unusual rituals, essentially superstitions. Don’t shave during playoffs is an example. Is there some real evidence that not shaving contributes to success? Do the Stanley Cup winners have more fulsome beards? Not that I know of.

Last day of school for Djoke Byleveld A
fter 30 years of giving youngsters their first experience at school, Djoke Byleveld is retiring. She is a special lady with boundless energy, creativity, gentleness and commitment to the children at Chilliwack Landing Preschool. Djoke was born and raised in the Netherlands, the eldest of five children. Her mother was a
homemaker while her father worked for Brinks Security Ana and she MACEDO recalls a happy childhood, growing up in this land known for its tulips, clogs and windmills, to name but
a few. From the time that she was 14, she clearly recognized that working with children was what she wanted to do. “I thought of possibly being a teacher or a librarian. I decided on a teaching career but with my love of books and reading I actually combined both with my job. It’s the development and
growth and the exploration of the children that I enjoy so much,” she explained passionately. After graduating from high school, she went on to receive her teaching degree from Teacher’s Training College in Holland and taught elementary school there for six years. On a trip to Canada in 1972, Djoke and her husband were
impressed with the amount of space and land that lay before them. “This sparked an interest in immigrating here. My brother-in-law sponsored us and we arrived in Agassiz in July, 1973,” she said. Settling into a new way of life was difficult at first, but Djoke was never sorry that they had made the decision to come here.
Super Summer Sizzler Sale! OUR BIGGEST SALE OF THE YEAR
Being a determined woman, Djoke resolved to find work quickly and when her son was just six months old, she began her employment at a daycare centre in Agassiz. “I was there for four years and then I heard that the Skwah First Nation was looking for a preschool teacher for Chilliwack Landing Preschool. I got the job, went to SFU to receive my B.C. teaching certificate and at the end of this school year I will have been there for just over 30 years. I still have a lot of energy but I wanted to leave while I was still enjoying it and doing a good job at it,” she reflected. Djoke was teaching the three- and fouryear-old children and was in a supervisory role at the school. “We have one kindergarten teacher and six support staff. Priority is given to
First Nations children but children from the wider community can also attend. The school has a strong connection with Coqualeetza and I must say that I worked with Dean and Stephen Williams and the education committee from Skwah First Nation in such a positive way. There has always been a high level of trust and they have always treated me with such respect. The school is the flagship for the band and there is strong pride in the school. It also has a good reputation in the wider community. They have been totally supportive and this is one of the reasons that I have stayed behind so long. My responsibilities were certainly expanded since I started. We had 25 children back then, where today we have 60. I was still Continued: ANA/ p21

Forest songs to rock Island 22 Jennifer Feinberg
out of Abbotsford, 41st and Home of Vancouver, Kingdom Cloud also from Kelowna. It hasn’t been a cake walk, getting all the details ironed out. “Getting ever ything ready has been a huge lear ning process,” Dunning says. “But it’s going to be kind of cool, whether people know the bands or not, just to be part of a new concert event.” They’re banking on at least 150 people buying tickets. And yes, as a matter of fact, they have heard repeatedly from locals about the ill-fated Retrofest, the last major rock concert event held at Island 22 a few years ago. It left the rock concert promoter with a load of debt after only a few hundred tickets sold to see huge-name retro rock acts like Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer. Dunning is going to approach things slightly differently. “We’re starting out slowly the first year, and keeping expenses way down,” Dunning says. “And it’s only a one-day show.” So where did the concert name come from? Dunning says it was his girlfriend who came up with the slightly hippiedippie sounding name for the music festival. “It just seemed to fit the beautiful forested setting at the Island 22,” he says.
The Progress Where the Forest Songs Are is an all-day music festival set for Saturday, Aug. 13 at Island 22, with six live bands on stage for twenty bucks. “It’s going to be a great thing for Chilliwack,” event organizer Robert Dunning predicts. “This isn’t a company putting it on, we’re a bunch of young adults who love music.” Their vision is to debut the new festival in Chilliwack for up-andcoming bands from across B.C. “There used to be a pretty sweet music scene in Chilliwack,” Dunning laments. “But in the last few years it has kind of disappeared. We’re hoping this gets established as an annual event.” Dunning, 19, is not a musician, but several of his friends play in bands. “I just like planning shows,” he admits. “This is the biggest one yet, and it’s been a lot of work.” His friends, Simon Bridgefoot and Jamison Dick, have been helping with some of the details of mounting the mammoth show. Permits. Insurance. Contracts. Security. Advertising. These are some of the bureaucratic and organizational details they have been working on for months with FVRD Parks staff. Concert goers of all ages will be grooving to “chill-wave,” folk, and altrock sounds from bands like Teen Daze and State of Bliss from Chilliwack, We are the City from Kelowna, Oh No! Yoko F I N E

Big River brings Cash to Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Big River, a tribute to Johnny Cash, isn’t 100 per cent perfect. And that’s in keeping with the iconic country music artist who was far from perfect. That slight imperfection is part of what sets their act apart, according to David James, who plays the Man in Black in Big River. “We’re capturing the spirit of man,” James says over the phone. The show is Friday Aug. 5 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, covering the early Johnny Cash period of the 1950s, right through to the new millennium, with his mannerisms, that voice and the trademark “boom-chicka-boom” sound that echoed freight train rhythms. James is talking to a Progress reporter on his cell, while in line at a 7-11 to buy his morning coffee and some smokes. “What we do is line it up and bring it,” he continues. “Big River is a high energy show, and that’s cause we ain’t pretending, we’re doing it.” He points to director Francis Ford Coppola who famously said his film, Apocalypse Now, wasn’t about Vietnam, it “was” Vietnam. “In the same way, Big river isn’t about Johnny Cash, it is Johnny Cash,” he says. “Come to my show and I’ll fool you good.” His speaking voice is eerily similar to the famous singersongwriter who was known for his rich, baritone-bass. How did James study Cash to be able to recreate his sound

He remembers looking at his year book where he dreamed of a becoming a professional musician, but that dream got away from him for a while. “Everybody slips,” he says. He fell into a similar trap as Cash in the early days, James admits. For Cash it was a dalliance with speed and barbiturates, but for James it was cocaine and other pitfalls that go with the rock and roll lifestyle. “I went in the same direction as him in the bad-boy department early on. But when I came off of it, I ran into Johnny’s music and I discovered I could sound like him.” He’s never seen a performer like Cash
with such magnetism. “Even Elvis didn’t even have that power.” These days Big River has sold-out shows across Western Canada and earned the praise of everyone from little old ladies to 10-year-olds in black cowboy hats. Now he gets a real kick out of telling the old Johnny Cash stories. “We tend to take it over the top a little bit,” he says.

As the rosy pink blossoms open, they provide refreshing new colour for weeks. They combine well with low growing conifers or small flowering shrubs like potentillas. As the pink flowers turn bronze, they should be left on the plant for a charming dried fall look. Check out some of the new colours in foliage and flowers, such as the variegated white and green of S. ‘Autumn Charm’, the award winning soft pink ‘Matrona’ and ‘Emperor’ with its deep purple foliage. Heleniums have not exactly set the world on fire the past few years, but they produce magnificent fall colours, very similar to rudbeckias. Their small gold or gold/bronze petals bloom well into autumn on either compact or tall varieties. They stand up well in uncertain fall weather and provide a continuous source of cut flowers.

Life lessons from the football field Today’s story is the second half of a series on Chilliwack Huskers rookie Buomkuoth Samuel, a 19-year-old with a tremendous story to tell. Find part one in the Aug. 2 issue of the Chilliwack Progress or check online at www.theprogress.com.
Eric J. Welsh, The Progress It would be easy to leave it behind, build a life in Canada and forget about Kenya. Wouldn’t it? The Hagadera refugee camp. Just a bad dream, with memories of hyenas and hunger getting fuzzier by the day. Nairobi. A place where education was gained and childhood lost — where he woke up every day at sunrise, not knowing whether he’d live to see the sunset. Best forgotten. Right? He’s 19 now. He’s almost spent more time here than there. On some days, Buomkuoth Samuel must sit on a comfy couch in Chilliwack, playing Madden 2011 on the Xbox 360 and wonder, ‘Did it really happen? Was I really there?’ But it doesn’t work that way. Buomkuoth is filled with memories that won’t fade, no matter how much time passes. Even now, nine years after coming to Canada, he can speak of Kenya with vivid detail, the sights and sounds of the place etched into his mind like letters chiselled into granite. And the most curious thing of all is this pull he feels, this strange urge to go back. But why would he? Why on earth would Buomkuoth return to a place his family fought so desperately to escape? Mostly, it is because Kenya is not the same country as the one he left in 2000. Another decade of turmoil and bloodshed resulted in a democratically elected government in 2008 and a revised constitution in 2010, including a bill of rights for the Kenyan people. Slowly, the country is transitioning from lawlessness and anarchy to a functional democracy, and Buomkuoth
believes he has a role to play. “I know I could bring a lot of change to Kenya, because I came here and went to school. I think a lot of us will go back,” he explained. “I could be a teacher or a nurse, doing what I can so that one day our country can be like Canada.” And that is why football is so much more than a game to Buomkuoth. It is an avenue. If he gives his heart and soul to every play with the Chilliwack Huskers, if he listens to his coaches and gives 110 per cent at every practice, maybe it will be noticed by a CIS school. Maybe football will pay for an education, and a better education will help him make a bigger difference when he finally returns to his homeland. If you talk to him, Boumkouth will tell you he thought football was boring and stupid when he first came to Canada. He was practically dragged onto the field in Grade 10 by a gym teacher, had to be cajoled by teammates to stay and spent most of that first season as a fish far, far away from water. He didn’t know where to go or what to do, and truthfully, he didn’t make much effort to find out. His Ernest Manning (Calgary) Griffins lost to the Crescent Heights Cowboy in the 2007 championship game. Buomkuoth wasn’t a factor, and he was surprised to find that it bothered him. “After we lost that game, I sat there and thought, ‘If I really knew the game well enough, I could have done something.” Light. On. With a fire lit under his butt, Buomkuoth joined the Calgary Wildcats midget team and dedicated himself to learning the nuances of football. And suddenly, things started making sense. There was order behind the chaos, method behind the madness. Buomkuoth started to appreciate the structure of football. “I grew up with soccer, where it was just me and the ball and doing what I wanted to do,” he said. “But in football, it’s all about working together. If one person messes up, everything goes wrong.” He came back to the
Nineteen year old Buomkuoth Samuel played his first B.C. Football Conference regular season game last weekend as his Chilliwack Huskers lost 37-8 to Victoria’s Westshore Rebels at Exhibition Stadium. Buomkuoth and company are back in action Saturday night at 7 p.m., hosting the Kamloops Broncos. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Griffins in Grade 11 determined to not be that one person. His new attitude impressed the coaches so much that they made him a captain, the youngest on the team. “We went 8-0 that year and won a championship,” he said, bursting with pride. Hobbled by an ankle injury, Boumkouth was relegated to spectator status as a senior, spending most of
his time on the bench as his team advanced to another title game, and lost. “I was able to play two of the six regular season games, mostly on special teams,” he said. “But it was a really tough year.” Boumkouth took a full year off after graduation, uncertain of his football future until one day he found himself on the phone with Huskers head coach Luke
Acheson. “BK, we would like you to be a Chilliwack Husker.” Early in the third quarter of last Sunday’s season opener at Exhibition Stadium, Boumkouth came into the game on defence. You might have heard him. People in Abbotsford might have heard him. “Not in our house!”
“Fire it up!” “Bring it!” Pacing around behind the line of scrimmage, glaring at the Westshore Rebels offence and waving his hands in the air, Buomkuoth was a one-man pep rally. When he dedicated himself to learning the game, he did so by watching NFL games, particularly those of the Baltimore Ravens. It was Ray Lewis he watched and whom he now emulates, the uber-intense all-pro who is regarded as one of the top five linebackers of all time. Boumkouth looked good out there, flying sideline to sideline just like Ray Ray. Some plays he made. Some plays he didn’t. But at no time could any of his Husker teammates question his effort. “Football is about leadership, and that’s what I want to be. The younger guys need to see veterans showing they care about the game,” he said. “But if you tell a guy to do something, and he sees you taking the next play off, he won’t respect you as much. He’ll be, ‘OK, if he’s not going to do it then I don’t need to do it.’ So I need to be going to hard every single play.” That’s why Acheson recruited him, because Boumkouth is the type of player you win with. And that’s why football has been such a blessing for Boumkouth. He has learned many lessons from a sport he never wanted to play. Years from now, it won’t matter that he knew the difference between zone and man-toman. Counters and trap plays will be inconsequential in whatever he is doing. But the intangibles — things like leadership, accountability and work ethic — those are the lifelong skills that will transfer to any walk of life. His parents came to Canada 11 years ago because they wanted their children to have opportunities. Their hard work and sacrifice has resulted in a young man who is ready to take on the world. “I can’t thank my parents enough for the opportunity they gave me, but the best thing I can do is take them back and go build them a house and make them feel free.” And along the way, he might just change the fortunes of an entire country.

Chilliwack Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl picked up a pair of players in two separate swaps this week, adding a veteran defenceman and a skilled forward to the mix. Smyl picked up 19-year-old Vancouver product Josh McKissock from the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s Kindersley Clippers on Tuesday, sending Brad Buckingham in the other direction. McKissock spent last season with the BCHL’s Salmon Arm Silverbacks, appearing in 34 games with five points and 27 penalty minutes. “Josh skates extremely well, has very good skill and good hockey sense,� Smyl said of the five-foot-10 and 170
pound forward. McKissock was part of the 2007 Burnaby Winter Club squad that won the bantam western Canadian championships. He also helped the Revelstoke Grizzlies of the junior B KIJHL capture a western Canadian title. The second move came Wednesday morning, with Smyl picking up Tyler Miller from the Langley Rivermen. The 20-year-old played for Smyl last year, and was acquired for future considerations. “Tyler has played four seasons in the BCHL and is one of those players who has a presence on and off the ice,� Smyl said of the veteran blueliner. “Tyler is very difficult to play against and has the ability to chip in offensively from the back end. He also knows what it takes to be a Chief.� Miller has logged 133 BCHL games with 26 points and 246 penalty minutes. The six-footthree and 210 pound D-man is a Prince George native and was

✞ Obituaries ASHDOWN Jack (John)
1931-2011 It is with an eminent feeling of loss that we announce the passing of Jack. He passed from his earthly life, ASHDOWN surrounded by love, at his home in Chilliwack. Jack passed from the loving arms of his wife Donna, into the arms of his loving Father. His battle with his health started years ago. He showed us all what a true warrior he was right up to his last breath. He defied the odds, he did the work, he had the will to pull himself from the edge many times and come back with a fresh “to do list” in his hand. Jack spent his life engaging himself in the lives of everyone he met. His heart and home have nurtured many and he was always a willing doer in the many charities and organizations that he lent his talents to over the years. Jack was predeceased by his parents. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Donna; his big brother, Bud; twin sister, Jill; his children, Brian, Cheryl and Jodine; his grandchildren, Kimberley, Rebeccah, Shayla, Kristina, Zach, Lucas and Fay. Jack also had many good friends, extended family members and friends who consider themselves family. A service of remembrance of Jack’s life will be held on Saturday, August 6, 2011 at 1:30 pm at the Chilliwack United Church, 45835 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. Viewing to be held prior to the service. At his request, his body will be laid to rest at Vedder View Gardens. This will be followed by a celebration of Jack’s life. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Jack’s memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation, PO Box 75038, White Rock, BC V4B 5L3.
