Walas team in the ‘research’ stageJennifer FeinbergThe Progress
Some residents may be curi-ous about what’s happening since Walas Concepts was contracted a few months ago to help kickstart redevelopment in the downtown core.
They’re in the research phase now, actively meeting with people, and asking anyone with an idea of how to liven up Chilliwack’s down-town to contact them directly.
Barb Kemp, longtime retailer and former Downtown Chilliwack BIA president, has just been hired to join the Walas team.
Central to their philosophy is the idea that “cities are about people,” explained Gerben van Straaten, Walas CEO, in a news release Monday.
They will be operating out of a downtown office within a couple of weeks.
They plan to be the catalysts to “initiate conversations” about new and potentially better uses of the downtown core, like re-purposing under-used or boarded-up build-ings.
Once they set up their office, the Walas team will be working closely with downtown residents, property owners, business people and new entrepreneurs.
“At this moment, the project is in the research stage, with Walas Concepts getting to know the strengths and weaknesses of the community, and working together with local residents to initiate that change,” said van Straaten.
It’s Kemp’s boundless enthusi-asm and extensive knowledge of downtown that make her “a wel-come addition,” to the Walas team, he said.

With less than a month to go before school is supposed to start, teachers in Chilliwack have once again ramped up protesting efforts.
Tuesday morning, a group of about 30 teachers made their pres-ence known outside the office of Chilliwack MLA John Martin.
Two more protests are scheduled for Aug. 19 outside Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness’ office and another
on Aug. 26 at Cottonwood Mall. Chilliwack Teachers’ Association will also have a booth set up for the last two nights of Party in the Park on Aug. 15 and 22.
“We want to put pressure on our local MLAs; they have the ability to move this forward,” said Chilliwack secondary school teacher Rob Bogunovic.
Strategically, the Chilliwack Teachers’ Union chose to demon-strate outside Martin’s office from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., during high com-muter time.
The first rain of the month did
not deter them.“Teachers are still very keen
and dedicated to this move-ment,” said CTA president Clint Johnston. “There’s a lot of uncer-tainty and this is our interface with the public.”
Sardis secondary teacher Cecelia Griffiths stood on the front lines with ‘Standing up for BC Students’ emblazoned on her T-shirt. She also wore buttons with the slogans ‘Proud to be a Teacher’ and ‘Teachers Want a Fair Deal’.
Griffiths has been a teacher for
35 years, specializing in special needs.
“I work with the kids who have the most severe disabilities in the building,” she said. “What I’ve seen in my 35 years, the level of service we provide now isn’t even triage anymore. Special needs stu-dents are not getting the supports they need.”
Grade 6 teacher Leora Polsam hopes a fair deal will be achieved, but “our hopes have been dashed so many times,” she’s losing faith.

Information that was published on page 5 of the Friday, Aug. 8 issue of the Chilliwack Progress incorrectly stated that the driver of a white four-door Mazda Protege was responsible for a two-car accident at the corner of Yale Road and Spadina Avenue.
Police confirm that it was the driver of the other vehicle, a red Dodge Durango SUV, that went through a red light and caused the collision.
The Progress regrets the error and any confu-sion it may have caused.
For the record
Stolen trailers and lumber
Chilliwack RCMP are looking for lumber thieves who pulled off a brazen heist.
Between 5 p.m. Aug. 4 and 8 a.m. Aug. 5, two commercial B-Train trailers were stolen from the Chevron in the 44000 block of Yale Road. Both were loaded with 1” x 6”x 10’ lengths of wood, wrapped with white plastic wrap and emblazoned with ‘GORMAN’ in green lettering.
They are black 2006 Magnum flat decks, one bearing the B.C. licence plate 25328D and the other B.C. plate 55325B.
The combined value of the trailers and lumber is estimated to be in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Anyone with info is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers (anony-mously) at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
Chilliwack RCMP are looking for a vehi-cle and driver involved in a hit-and-run last Tuesday night.
At 9:45 p.m. a 51 year old man was walking his dog, crossing Hodgins Avenue at the Corbould Street lights next to the Landing Leisure Centre. A grey pickup truck turning from Hodgins onto Corbould
hit the man and his dog.The truck continued
on without stopping.The man suffered
minor injuries. His dog was seriously injured and was put down by a veterinarian.
Anyone with info is asked to call the RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers (anony-mously) at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
Firefighters from two halls successfully doused a garage fire last Thursday morning.
Halls one and four responded to a call at 6 a.m. in the 8500 block of Cramer Drive. They arrived to see smoke and flame coming out of a garage attached
to a two-story home. The people inside were evacuated while the fire-fighters extinguished the blaze.
Damage was limited to the garage and there were no injuries.
The cause is acciden-tal and related to mis-use of extension cords.

The IHIT team issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for Aaron David Douglas, in connection with last Thursday’s double-murder in Chilliwack.
Douglas has a criminal record dating back to 1996 and police describe him as “armed and dangerous.”
The 33-year-old has been identified as a suspect in the death of 38-year-old Richard Blackmon and 36-year-old Tyler Belcourt, vic-tims of what police called a “targeted” shooting.
A third person, a female, escaped with her life and her identity has not been revealed.
Neighbours around Hawthorne Manor (near the corner of Gore Avenue and Nowell Street) heard several shots fired around 4 a.m., then saw a white Mazda hatchback speed away.
“IHIT is asking the public to be vigilant and call 911 if you know the whereabouts of Aaron Douglas,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, with the Integrated Homicide
Investigation Team (IHIT) “Do not approach him or attempt to apprehend him yourself.”
Douglas was released from custody just last month after an unrelated attempted murder charge was dropped. Douglas took a plea deal on a weapons charge in exchange for having the larger charge stayed. He was sentenced to time served (19 months) plus three years probation. He was also ordered to have no con-tact with the victim in that case, Jeff Karpes.

The Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill is “unlikely” to significantly harm Fraser River sockeye now returning to spawn in fouled Quesnel Lake, according to the Pacific Salmon Commission.
The agency managing salmon fisheries said it doesn’t expect the peak of the sock-eye migration to reach Quesnel Lake until the first week of September, giving about 20 days for river and lake conditions there to improve.
In a news release issued Friday it also noted the “encouraging results” of initial water quality tests released by the prov-ince is a cause for optimism.
But the commission cautioned there
are also juvenile sockeye currently rear-ing in the lake and it’s too soon to tell whether they will be severely affected.
“The spill could impact their survival and food supply,” it said.
Great concern persists among First Nations and other salmon users over the potential for contamination and long-last-ing damage to the fishery as a result of the mine disaster.
Between 845,000 and 2.95 million sock-eye are forecast to spawn in the Quesnel system this year – about a quarter of the summer run and seven per cent of all Fraser sockeye stocks combined.
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has not directly commented on the threat to salmon, saying Environment Canada is the lead federal agency.
“Fisheries and Oceans Canada will be closely monitoring the salmon run as it approaches the Quesnel system over the coming days to assess the poten-tial effects of these pollutants and other factors including water temperature on salmon returns,” the department said in an emailed statement.
The Fraser continues to run at lower levels and higher temperatures than aver-age, adding to concern that significant numbers of sockeye could die on their way upstream before spawning.
But officials say incoming sockeye look healthy and most are migrating through Johnstone Strait, rather than Juan de Fuca Strait on the west side of Vancouver Island.

“I’m here for that reason,” she said, point-ing to a sign that read ‘Invest in Students of BC.’
Bogunovic doesn’t believe the strike will end well for his cohort.
“Some teachers have tried to be optimistic, but I’ve believed all along this will end with legislated contracts imposed on us or the government will essentially bankrupt teachers so they have to go back,” he said.
“We haven’t even been offered net zero. Very straight math will show what we’ve been offered is -2 per cent over six years.”
The last offer from BC Public School Employers’ Association, in May, was seven per cent over six years.
Last Friday, BC Teachers’ Federation and BCPSEA were back at the bargaining table for the first time since talks broke down in June. Negotiations are expected to resume this week.
Both sides have been tight lipped about last week’s meeting. Still, school district officials are hopeful.
“Certainly, this is a very unsettling time for the entire commu-nity, and we are very concerned, but I have to remain optimistic,” said Walt Krahn, chair of Chilliwack board of education. “I have to
remain hopeful because I believe, as an elected official, it is our respon-sibility to be positive advocates for student success. We need to remain focused on stu-dent learning and look for a resolution.”
Chilliwack board of education has sent two letters to the Ministry of Education, one last fall, and one in June. Letters
have also been sent to BCTF and BCPSEA. As well, Krahn and vice-chair Silvia Dyck have met with both local MLAs to encourage them to push for both parties to settle.
Chilliwack MLA John Martin was not avail-able for comment prior to press deadline.

Jennifer FeinbergThe Progress
Retired education assistant Lisa Fairney organized a lunchtime demonstration of sup-port for striking teach-ers on Friday at Five Corners in Chilliwack.
About 25 parent and teachers showed up.
It was the recent B.C. government offer of $40 to parents that did it for Fairney.
“I think it was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me,” she said.
“That $40 is not about education — it’s about babysitting and buying off the parents.”
The offer to B.C. par-ents is a contingency, to cover childcare for each student under 13, should the strik-9e drag on into the fall.
Parents can apply for the $40 online, starting Sept. 2.
Fairney was an EA for 25 years in the school district, working at first with a severely deaf student.
But the conditions in the classroom became “too chaotic” for her, with bulging class sizes, and more students with
special needs.“It’s one of the rea-
sons why I retired. I had to piggyback too many students. It’s hard to teach when some students are throwing chairs or threatening others with scissors.”
So the key issues at stake are much more complex than just what teachers are paid, Fairney said.
“The negotiations will again I hope. I’m being optimistic.”
The labour action led to rotating strikes over several weeks in May and June, before classes were interrupted two weeks early with a full-scale walk-out.
A dozen years of bat-tling over teacher con-tracts is simply too long.
That’s the point teach-er and parent Monique Lousier sought to make with her neon-green sign that read: “12 years of fighting is too long!”
She held it up for all to see as traffic passed the little lunchtime demonstration at Five Corners Friday.
It had two photos of her son, one as a newborn, and the other at age 12 to show how long teachers have
been grappling with these issues.
It was in 2002, Lousier remembered, when the BC Liberal Government stripped the classroom size and composition language out of the teachers’ con-tracts, and it changed things for good.
“What I want people
to understand is that our union is not like other public sector unions,” she said. “No other union fights for our clients like this. Our clients have no voice, because they are chil-dren. We’re fighting for the kids.”

The continued building of our partnerships with and engagement of our District’s families and our community stakeholders is vital to our students having the best possible opportunities for learning. Our people are our strength and we have a highly qualified and dedicated staff serving our student population. We are very thankful to everyone who has worked diligently to help us prepare for this new school year, including our custodial, maintenance and technology staffs, as well as our district office and many school-based staff members.

Commercial fish-ing has already been open offshore to troll-ers since Aug. 2 and gillnetters who fish on the lower river between Steveston and Mission will get their first open-ing on Monday after-noon.
There’s no in-season estimate of the overall run size yet.
But major compo-nents of the run are tracking close to the mid-range of what had been predicted in advance.
That suggests a total sockeye return closer to the median forecast of 23 million, rather than the low end of seven million or a record high return of 72 million.
Area E Gillnetters Association spokesman Bob McKamey said it looks to be the best return since the large run of more than 30 mil-lion sockeye in 2010.
The last two years have been bleak for gill-netters, with only one chum opening each of the past two years and no sockeye fisheries.
“They have waited a long time for a sockeye fishery. A lot us are just looking forward to get-ting a fresh one to the table.”
He expects steady openings for the 300 or so commercial gillnet-ting boats for several weeks.
“We’re expecting regular week-day open-ings from now until September.”
Limited recreational fisheries for sockeye opened on the Fraser River last week, which catch limits of four per day, while aboriginal ceremonial and food sockeye fishing started two weeks ago.
Unionized commer-cial fishermen, mean-
while, have denounced the lack of government oversight of the Mount Polley mine.
“We have fleets of boats with observers or cameras watching our every move to fish sustainably, and nobody is watching these folks as they destroy our ecosystem,” said Kim Olsen, president of the Unifor local represent-ing fishermen and allied workers.
“Where has the BC Ministry of Environment been? Where has Environment Canada been? The oversight is pathetic.”
With files from Phil Melnychuk.
“City development should be user-driven,” added van Straaten, and everything they do at Walas seems to resonate with that idea. They will be listening, match-making and helping guide the process along wherever possible.
Walas Concepts Inc., a Dutch-based company with offices in Vancouver, was engaged by City of Chilliwack and CEPCO in March to help speed up down-
town redevelopment. They use innovative techniques and a “bot-tom-up” approach to problem-solving. Mentorship and partner-ships are also key.
Walas expertise is in creative community development, busi-ness administration and manage-ment coaching.
“By building bridges and con-nections between people, such as innovators, the business commu-nity, citizens and various stake-holders, Walas Concepts aims
to foster an interconnected com-munity that is both economically sustainable and socially diverse.”

Respect needed between motorists and cyclists
A fear of death shouldn’t be what keeps people from choosing to ride a bicycle. But it might.
A cyclist was killed recently in Richmond, and another was injured by a hit-and-run driver in Port Coquitlam. In each case, it’s unclear what caused the collisions.
What is clear is the devastating results of a crash between a bicy-cle and a vehicle.
The roads are packed with vehicles, driven by motorists weighed down by a multitude of potential distractions. The Lower Mainland has been expanding its cycling infrastructure but it needs more work — lots more work.
But giving cyclists plenty of room on the road doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be safe from inattentive drivers.
An average of 150 cyclists are injured in B.C. every month during peak riding season of May to October, according to ICBC.
We should all be encouraging more people to strap on helmets and take to the streets on two wheels — it’s healthy for commuters and recreational riders, the environment and a congested region. But those statistics don’t do much for a would-be cyclist’s confidence.
Yes, cyclists must do their part. The insurance corporation advises them to never assume drivers can see them and to wear bright, reflective clothing, and use lights at night.
But how many times have you seen a motorist park in a bike lane? Fail to yield to a cyclist? Nearly knock a rider over while passing?
It happens too often.Drivers and cyclists need to watch for each other at all times, use
eye contact and hand signals. Moreover, we all need to make efforts to build greater respect between drivers and cyclists.
Whether on two wheels or four, that starts with every one of us.— The Richmond Review (Black Press)

RAESIDE
VICTORIA – The B.C. gov-ernment’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve have been clarified by a public consul-tation that proposes new com-mercial and industrial uses on farmland.
Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland loot-ing spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed.
As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclu-sions. Now a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date.
The first one deals with restric-tions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A
minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restrict-
ed.This requires
multiple dupli-cate operations of questionable viability. It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But
I digress.“Amongst other things,” the
discussion paper says, “lessening the restrictions on on-farm pro-cessing could allow the establish-ment of abattoirs (large, small or mobile) on farms, to serve sur-rounding cattle, game or poultry farms.” Then there’s cheese, fruit
juice and even medical marijuana products.
And did you know that wineries and cideries are allowed on farm-land but breweries, distilleries and meaderies aren’t? (Mead is made from honey, and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned hel-met.)
Now that we’ve discovered that breweries don’t have to be giant urban industrial plants producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound.
On-farm wine and cider sales have similarly quaint retail space and product origin restrictions. The government proposes to allow sales of products not made on site, as long as they’re made in B.C.
This could make more local retail beverage co-ops viable. Or it could spawn a wave of unregu-lated rural liquor stores that cre-
ate chaos on country roads. You decide.
On a more serious note, there are a couple of questions about changes to the newly created “zone two,” the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. One repeats the government’s intention to open up non-farm use rules to allow certain oil and gas service functions on farmland. This is to reflect the reality already on the ground in the Northeast. What other non-farm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the con-sultation and regional meetings continue until Aug. 22.
There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland sub-division in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway.
And finally there are proposed
exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permis-sion to remain on their own prop-erty. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.”
NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” cam-paign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.”
It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

On May 27, I entered the Chilliwack General Hospital to have my cancerous bladder removed. I was quite apprehensive about this as I had not had a seri-ous surgery in 66 years. I did have complete faith in my surgeon Dr. Saul Goodman and as it turned out my faith was well placed. However, I had heard some dis-turbing stories about hospital stays and this worried me somewhat.
When I awoke in ICU some hours later I was really happy that I had survived but was feel-ing very poorly to say the least. I was hooked up to more electron-ics than I had thought existed. I was sort of in and out of it as the saying goes for most of that night. In the morn-ing I discovered that I had round the clock
nursing care and my every need was taken care of immediately. They wanted me to get out of bed ASAP and although I had serious doubts about even mov-ing they had me out and into a chair with help from two nurses. This happened every so often and soon I was looking forward to get-ting up.
During the next three days I got to know some of the nurses and found them to be the most caring and dedicated people one could imag-ine. If I rang my bell I had a nurse inside of 30 seconds, truly amazing! I can only remember the name of one nurse and her name was Diane (spelling) and she looked after me as though I was her father. I can’t say enough good things about the ICU
nurses I just don’t have the words.
After four days I was moved to the surgical ward and the great care was continued there. I had one male nurse and I had never had one before so I didn’t know what to expect. He, too, was truly fantastic and I remember his name, as it was an odd one, he was called Ayo. He took me for walks around the floor to get me mov-ing better. On these for-ays there was one nurse who always gave me a high five on my way past, she was one of the happiest people I have ever met.
While on this ward I met a few of my fellow patients all of them very friendly but the one whom I remember best was Brian Point and it turned out he lives not far from me and I
probably pass his place all the time. I hope he is making as good a recovery as I am.
The one and only downer during my stay was the food to me it was totally inedible and I only ate a few mouth-fuls in seven days. I relied on my wife and daughter to bring me some edible food. I would like to see the premier and the min-ister of health eat that food for a week maybe then we would see some improvement.
I am now two months out of the hospital and doing very well and can now walk four or more kilometres and have ridden my motorcycle to Boston Bar.
Thanks to all you dedicated health care workers you are fantas-tic.

Re: Mt. Polley mine spill.The cure for the sickness this
has inflicted on the environment and the public — we need to treat this disaster as one treats a human health crisis:
1. Apply antibiotics to stem the emergency and get us through the crisis stage of the sickness;
2. Treat the long term health and address the systemic cause of the sickness using a more holistic approach.
Demanding that regulations be increased, new mining pro-posals be put on hold, etc. is the antibiotics. We have to get the organism through the immedi-ate crisis. But this is stop-gap only: again and again we’ve seen demonstrated the failure of gov-ernment regulation to effect long term health in their respective
fields. Just as using antibiotics long-term is counter-productive, resorting to short term or knee-jerk measures doesn’t create that long term health.
The holistic approach in human health considers the complete picture of what builds good health — not just provide a medicinal fire extinguisher when disaster strikes. It consid-ers not only what the body needs nutritionally, but also exercise and relaxation and other life-style factors that support robust health. It is the very definition of proactive thinking.
This is the ideal metaphor for this environmental health crisis.
We need new models of gover-nance where expert recommen-dations don’t simply gather dust on a shelf, where the concerns of
local people are not ignored by decision makers in distant cities, where concerns of experienced front-line people like Gerald MacBurney are addressed and incidents like this are prevented rather than reacted to.
We need planning that would, for example, put in place capacity to manage tailings before allow-ing the tailings to be produced, and that would project for the likelihood of greater frequency and severity of extreme weather events and engineer to cope.
We need to consider the model of local governance and deci-sion-making advocated by orga-nizations like The WaterWealth Project.

A fundraiser takes place Aug. 15 in Chilliwack for an Abbotsford man’s par-ticipation in the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride (SNKCR).
Bob Ahuja is par-ticipating in the bike ride from Winnipeg to Toronto, starting on Sept. 4, with a goal of raising $5,000.
Ahuja first participat-ed in SNKCR in 2012, riding 7,000 kilome-tres from Vancouver to Halifax and raising $25,000 in memory of his 14-year-old cousin, who died of cancer in 2010.
“As I approached the Atlantic Ocean on Sept. 21, 2012, I realized that the feeling of helping kids was so great that I wanted to continue being involved with SNKCR,” Ahuja said.
In 2013, he rode as a relay rider from Vancouver to Winnipeg and, this year, he is car-rying on to Toronto.
Ahuja said one of his goals this year, besides raising funds for cancer research, is to encour-age someone else in the community to commit as a rider or volunteer for SNKCR.
The fundraiser on Friday, Aug. 15 takes place at Duke’s Country Pub (41582 Yale Rd.). Tickets for the roast beef buffet are $20, with proceeds going to the cause.

An application has been made to rezone an area near Chehalis to build a water bot-tling plant.
The company making the application is called Christopher’s Spring Water Inc., and the public hearing is being held this Wednesday in Harrison Mills.
The land is currently zoned Institutional but would have to be rezoned to Resource Industrial to allow for the bot-tling plant to be built and operate.
At this public hearing,
those who believe their inter-est is affected by the pro-posed bylaws will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submis-sions.
Written submission may also be submitted to Fraser Valley Regional District in advance of the hearing but must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. August 13. Written submissions will be entered into the public hear-ing record.
The draft bylaw and a staff report regarding the pro-
posed project are available on the Fraser Valley Regional District website.
The 48-page staff report includes a brief summary of the proposal.
“The applicant wishes to construct and operate a water bottling plant utilizing on-site spring water from an existing water license on a privately owned parcel accessed off of Chehalis Forest Service Road, approximately 1.5 kilo-metres from the Lougheed Highway. Although resource extraction is a permitted use
under the existing zone, the bottling plant itself would require a zoning amendment for the resource industrial aspects of the proposed devel-opment. A development per-mit for geological hazards is required, and the applicant has provided a geological hazard assessment to support the rezoning application, at the request of staff.”
The public hearing will be conducted on Wednesday, Aug. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Harrison Mills Community Hall, 1995 School Road.
Water bottling plant public hearing tonight in Harrison MillsLand would have to be rezoned to allow for the bottling plant to be built
Monday was the hottest August 11 in Chilliwack on record since 1881.
It was also the 19th day of the summer with siz-zling hot temperatures over 30 degrees.
The mercury actually hit 35.6 degrees Celsius on Monday, Aug. 11, according to Roger Pannett vol-unteer weather observer for Environment Canada. That’s more than 10 degrees above normal and the previous record for that day was set in 1977 at 33.9 C.
It’s also the hottest day in Chilliwack since the record maximum of 36 C on Aug. 14, 2010.
“To date in 2014 there has now been an unusual 19 high temperature records,” said Pannett.

Shiver me timbers!Pirate Pak Day is today,
Wednesday, Aug. 13 at White Spot in Chilliwack and beyond.
The seventh annual fund-raiser gives $2 from the sale of every Pirate Pak to the B.C. charity that provides kids and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities a memo-rable summer camp experi-ence.
“Pirate Pak Day has become an annual celebra-tion that helps young mateys facing life-long challenges,” said White Spot president Warren Erhart.
A total of 564 Pirate Paks
were sold in Chilliwack last year, benefiting the summer camp charity Zajac Ranch for Children. That’s a jump from the year before where 373 were sold locally in 2012.
They’ve raised $268,386 and sent more than 100 chil-dren to camp. White Spot Week at Zajac Ranch runs from August 18 to 22 and includes activities ranging from horseback riding and kayaking.

As the surrounding birds chirp away and the beaver continues to build his dam, staff at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, are chipping away at an exciting new event,
The Imaginature Open House is designed to bring together a number of environmental organizations in order to encourage an interest from the public in both preservation and enjoyment of the natural world and wildlife.
This event is slated for Saturday, Aug. 16
and will run from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. with programs and activities by visiting groups from throughout the lower mainland.
The morning will begin with a guided bird watching walk led by the Chilliwack Field Naturalists, followed by “Forests, Fungi and Flying Squirrels,” a fam-ily program run by the Hope Mountain Centre.
In the afternoon, Wild Safe BC will be running an interactive program that is both informative and fun for the entire family.
Other guests include the Eastern Fraser Valley Young Naturalists Club, The Coastal Painted Turtle Project and of course the Heron Reserve will be providing a num-ber of run activities throughout the day.
Ongoing throughout the day, visitors will be able to enjoy displays by guest presenters as well as an observation sta-tion and a kids’ corner.
The Imaginature Station is designed as a parent and child area of exploration and cre-ativity and will engage
everyone from infants to grandparents and everything in between.
Organizer Caroline Buckingham says she hopes this event “will allow people to connect with nature and the outdoors in a unique and inspiring new way. I am very excited for the groups that are joining us. We have a great list of guests, and we can’t wait to share
what every group has to offer.”
The event is free to the public, and pro-grams and displays are designed to draw not only families, but also adults who are interest-ed in conservation and nature.

THE VALLEY’S NEW PREMIERE SHOPPING DESTINATION
Jennifer FeinbergThe Progress
The new exhibit in the gallery at the Chilliwack Museum is an ode to the exhilarating beauty of the horse.
The show Horses From the Mists of Time blends the journalism and photo skills of Ryder Lake resi-dent Margaret Evans, with a pho-tographic display in the Chambers Gallery series that explores the evolution of horses.
“Horses are beautiful, fascinat-ing and highly adaptable animals,” says Evans. “I know from the many talks I have given that horses capti-vate people.”
She’s owned them for years, and rode often as a child.
“Even if they have never ridden a horse, people are still intrigued by an animal that is so big and powerful, yet so gentle and capable of giving so much in work, sport, recreation, and therapy.
“I felt that telling their evolution-ary story, even conceptually, would be appealing to many visitors.”
She was thrilled to garner the support of governments, universi-ties, and other museums, which agreed to provide photographic material that would bolster the show.
“Their photographs and infor-mation were central to making this exhibit a success,” she said.
Evans has been a writer for more than 40 years and has owned horses for three plus decades.
“I rode in England as a child so I have almost always had a horse connection,” she says.
In addition to her Progress col-umn, Locally Global, Evans also pens science articles (Western Producer, Country Life) and horse features (Canadian Horse Journal) and gives talks on horses.
Her last book Heart of a Hoofbeat is on sale at the Chilliwack Museum.
“Many people don’t know that horses evolved exclusively on the North American continent and
they first appeared about 55 mil-lion years ago.”
They’ve been through eye-popping changes and adaptations. Visitors will see pictures depicting the earliest horse that was no big-ger than a small dog. They will see photos of fossils dating back 17 million years as well as a 700,000 year old skull found in the Yukon. The interpretive panels show dra-matic changes the horses went through, their value to humans, and how horses are used today in conservation grazing programs.
Part of what makes them capti-
vating is the contrast between their size, and their role in society.
“The average horse weighs around 1,100 lbs (say 500 kg) but it is gentle, perceptive, and capable of the most amazing dancing steps in the dressage arena.
“As a herd animal, it will bond in friendship with a person. And yet, despite almost 6,000 years of domestication, horses still retain many of their ancient behaviours. They have never really lost that connection with the wild and their heritage.”
So did she set out to depict 50
million years of evolution with pho-tos and interpretive panels?
“It’s impossible to tell the full story of their evolution in one show,” Evans admits.
She concentrated on the visual concept of the horse from 55 mil-lion years ago, and explained in panels how they adapted as cli-mates and landscapes changed.
“I obtained photos of fossil horses from 17 million years ago showing the changes, especially as their four-toed feet were starting to become single hooves.
“I also focused on the value of
ancient horses to early people, the story of their domestication, and their value today in conservation grazing programs.”
There’s lots to be learned.“As it evolved through the
millennia to become a success-ful grassland species, the horse became the perfect animal to carry civilization on its back. It was cen-tral to human expansion, explora-tion, settlement, agriculture, and transportation. Today it is valued in sport, recreation, and therapy.”
The exhibit runs until Sept. 26 at 45820 Spadina Ave.

Optimizing the Trans Mountain Pipeline RouteTrans Mountain filed an Application with the National Energy Board (NEB) in December 2013 to expand our pipeline, which currently runs through your community.
Safety is Our Number One Priority The Trans Mountain Pipeline has operated safely in your community for more than 60 years.
As a result of engineering and environmental studies, along with
feedback and input from Aboriginal communities, stakeholders
and landowners, we are working to refine the proposed pipeline
corridor to minimize impacts to communities. The final pipeline
route will not be determined until the NEB regulatory process is
complete in 2016. We are committed to ongoing engagement.
View a detailed map of the current proposed corridor on our
website at: transmountain.com/proposed-pipeline-corridor
Please contact us with any questions you may have about the
proposed pipeline corridor:
Our Control Centre operators monitor the pipeline 24/7 for
flow rates, pressures and other operating conditions. Along
the entire pipeline, electronic sensors let us know everything
is working properly.
Pipeline technology and our culture of safety make it possible
for any employee to shut down the pipeline for safety reasons
within minutes.
Our number one priority is keeping you, our employees,
the environment and communities safe.

Get ready for the return of Party in the Park 2014.
The biggest downtown event is back to finish off the summer season with two more nights, Aug. 15 and Aug. 22, in Central Community Park.
Thousands of people will roam the streets around Five Corners, Wellington Avenue and Mill Street, sipping, shopping, tasting, chatting and listening.
“The ultimate goal of events like this is to draw people into downtown and create a memorable experience for them so that they come back again,” said BIA executive director Kyle Williams.
The Aug. 15 entertainment lineup includes: Amanda Thate, The Nikki Werner Band, as well as The Lounge Hounds, and Barefoot.
The agricultural theme will be an ode to Chilliwack’s hard-working farmers.
For the second PITP night in August, on Aug. 22, there are lots of exciting performers set to take the stage, and the theme for the last event is Superheroes.
After all the entertainment is done, join host Trevor McDonald at The Well in Chances Chilliwack for even more music at 10:30 p.m. He agreed to help out for a good cause.
“I said I would play a rare solo show, just like the old days,” said McDonald about his special gig at The Well on Aug. 22.
It will be a fundraiser for Ann Davis Transition Society.
“Come and say ‘hi’ after the final Party in the Park,” he said.

Many people are unaware of the sheer scope and size of the vast Chilliwack Forest District. It stretches north from the U.S. bor-der out to the coast and into the Gulf Islands, to the north end of Harrison Lake and all the way to Manning Park.
This district is large, and so is the mandate to provide high-value recreation sites and trails and to maintain them to the standard that most residents of this area and tourists
coming to visit, ask for.This task is largely
placed upon one man, Mike Peters, and his assistant technician, Marina Dunn.
Peters’ job as the rec-reation officer for the Forest District’s office based in Chilliwack, has been his role for many years now. He has worked tirelessly to improve the area and make sure things don’t fall into total disrepair.
However, as one might imagine, after scanning a map of his jurisdiction, there
seems not a lot of time for him to hike, bike, ATV, or horseback ride the many trails and areas that fall under his watch, let alone assess their needs. These tasks often fall to each activity’s user groups to be the eyes and ears on the ground.
Some years ago, local Search and Rescue vet-eran, Jack Bryceland, author of 103 Hikes in Southwest British Columbia (the defini-tive guidebook for hik-ing in our area) felt that we had too large
a workload fall-ing on the rec-reation officer. Jack went about pulling togeth-er interested parties from all of the recreation groups, motor-ized and non-motorized alike, to work together on advice to bring to Peters.
His philosophy was that all of the groups needed to stop work-ing only for their own needs, and join forces to benefit everybody. The concept for this kind of body was spawned out of an Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C. workshop in 2010 titled Working Together: Finding Solutions to Regional & Community Trail Issues at which Mike Peters was one of the speak-ers.
Each trail carries a user designation that dictates who can use the trail and who is to main-tain it. Motorized access is often not allowed on certain trails, just as mountain bikes are not allowed on certain
hike-only trails. These designa-tions however are often under contest as differ-ent groups vie to use the same ter-rain.
Difference of opinion and con-flict can ensue. You can imagine
the challenge for a rec-reation officer as each user group comes to his office lobbying for their own needs for a certain trail, only to be followed by a different user-group wishing to use the same trail for their own needs.
The group that Bryceland brought together aimed to alle-viate all of this, striv-ing to reconcile their differences and nego-tiate the designations of certain trails so that each group would have their own terrain to use that would not be in conflict with anyone else’s. This roundtable discussion brainchild of Bryceland’s has trans-formed in the last num-ber of years from coffee shop discussions with a small group of men and women, to its current status as the Chilliwack Recreation Advisory Group. CRAG meets monthly in the board-room at the Chilliwack Forest District office with Mike Peters, and effectively represents nearly every single sport group in our backcountry that has an organization to rep-resent it.
Sitting at the table are dual sport and moto-cross advocates, quads and ATVs, horsemen, hikers and mountain-eers. Sometimes cavers and paragliders attend, and mountain bikers are there as well. The group is as eclectic in personality as their modes of backcountry travel. Every group that
Chilliwack is leading the way for B.C.

The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fi t in a space that should hold only 28 teeth. These four teeth are your third molars, also known as “wisdom teeth.”
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth, usually by the age of 18. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen.
The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and
even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone.
These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. When they are partially erupted, the opening around the teeth allows bacteria to grow and will eventually cause an infection.
In most cases, the removal of wisdom teeth is performed under local anesthesia, laughing gas (nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia) or general anesthesia. Our services are provided in an environment of optimum safety that utilizes modern monitoring equipment and staff who are experienced in anesthesia techniques.

wishes to use our back-country, and wants to help make it a better place, comes every month, as this group is where decisions get made, where fund-ing gets allocated, and where the users can have their input heard.
Peters and Dunn are still faced with an impossible mandate: how to use their few resources wisely, and how to keep everybody happy at the same time. This truly is a daunting task, however Peters and Dunn do it as well as anyone possibly could and with the help of CRAG, the Chilliwack Forest District has seen a surge in new trails and recreation sites and better relation-ships amongst all of the groups. CRAG is unique and is now the envy of many other for-est recreation officers in British Columbia.
Peters is able to tap into a resource base greater than anyone else in his department, as he can talk to men and women who rep-resent tens of thou-
sands of people out on every single one of the trails that we love every week of every year. It is from our mouths that Peters hears about road washouts, about van-dalized campsites, and about trails that we all dream could exist.
CRAG is not only beneficial to Peters and his mandate; it is also beneficial to every person that sits around the table and the orga-nizations that they rep-resent. The members have come to see that many problems faced as hikers or ATV rid-ers are the same, and the best way to move forward is as a consoli-dated group, willing to compromise and col-laborate. Residents of Chilliwack are lucky to have an organization such as CRAG repre-senting their backcoun-try recreation interests.
We are all trying to strive for the same things. We want better access to the places that we love and we all want our passion and our pursuit to be sup-ported and to be passed on to other people so that they too can enjoy
what we have come to love.
If you have asked yourself ‘what would I get out of joining a hiking, biking or ATV club?’, think of what your voice, added to tens of thousands of other voices in the province, can do when advocating for the trails and recreation sites that you wish to use.
I encourage you to get involved, because when you put your funding into an organi-zation and you pay your club dues, you are pay-ing for the tools that are maintaining your trails and a member-ship in an advocacy that speaks directly to those who manage our public lands. We truly can make a difference in the things that we deem important.

A little ‘Feng Shui’ can be useful for home sellers“Feng Shui” (pronounced “fung shway”) is a traditional
Chinese art of home design that has been rediscovered by contemporary designers. Feng Shui is referred to as “the art of placement.” It offers ways to enhance nearly every aspect of our lives by skillfully combining colour, lighting and both living and non-living objects in an environment.
Although Feng Shui is a complex art, many basic principles can be applied when considering how to improve the look of your home. If you’re planning to sell your home, you may want to implement a few changes based on Feng Shui secrets before opening your door to buyers.
Feng Shui is based on ancient theories regarding ways to enhance our physical wellness, mental clarity, mood and financial prosperity by arranging certain key elements in the home’s interior and exterior. The art of Feng Shui is to create balance in the environment, and “cure” any areas where there is disharmony, disrepair, or other defects that are thought to create misfortune in the home. The cures are intended to increase the positive energy of luck, and thereby improve the quality of the residents’ lives.
Feng Shui cures usually involve the artful combination of one or more of the following elements: (1) bright or light- reflecting objects such as mirrors or lamps;(2) objects that produce sounds such as wind chimes or bells; (3) living objects such as plants, flowers or fish aquariums; (4) moving objects such as mobiles and
fountains; (5) statues, stones or other heavy objects; (6) electronically-powered objects such as TVs, air conditioners, etc.; (7) bamboo flutes; (8) colours;(9) others.
Of all the Feng Shui techniques for improving the good fortune of your home, colour is among the easiest to understand and apply, because colour has a universal influence. Bright primary colours tend to make us feel cheerful, while dark colours have a more sobering effect. In Feng Shui theory, red is considered a very auspicious, energetic colour, and red flowering plants are often used as remedies for “dead” areas. Green represents tranquility and new beginnings, so healthy green plants can be placed on either side of the home’s entrance to attract positive energy and improve the vitality of the residents. A dark entrance foyer can be well lit with warm light that welcomes visitors into the home.
Feng Shui principles offer ways to be creative in making your home more pleasing to live in and help set the stage for selling your home.

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey.
I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here.
So I feel like I’m well qualifi ed to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

A game the Valley Huskers had high hopes of winning ended in disappointing defeat Saturday afternoon.
A battle of winless BC Football Conference teams saw Victoria’s Westshore Rebels take a 28-14 decision, dropping the Huskers to 0-3.
Cody Vinish and Nick Harper had touchdowns for the Huskers, who did a lot to shoot themselves in the foot.
Chilliwack won the net-yardage battle 329 to 207.
But penalties proved costly.
One wiped out a 50 yard touchdown catch by Blake Draper. Another snuffed out a promis-ing drive and forced the Huskers to settle for a Dan Erickson field goal try.
His kick was blocked and returned for a Rebel major.
“The last two games have gotten away from us because every penalty we take seems to take away a defensive stop or a score,” said Husker coach Adam Smith. “They’re not five yard offside penalties when we’re up by 20. They’re
big penalties coming at key times in the game.”
The Huskers took 16 fouls for 135 yards, a big reason why they lost despite holding a signifi-cant statistical edge.
Smtih felt the running game clicked for the first time this season, but the passing game sputtered. Quarterback Dylan La Prairie struggled, com-pleting 12 of 28 passes. R.J. Begg relieved him in the fourth quarter, going nine of 15.
“It was more on the unit as a whole, and I think our receivers had a really rough night,” Smith said. “Some of the route running and effort... well, film room will be intense this week.”
The defence played well.
Jessie Smith had four tackles, a quarterback sack and two blocked kicks.
Mike Wiens had a fumble recovery as the Huskers limited the Rebels to just 36 first half yards.
Chilliwack now hits the road for five straight games, starting this weekend in Victoria.

Nathan Bahnman took the title at the Fraser Valley Junior Golf Tournament, post-ing the lowest score over four rounds last week.
The 16 year old shot a three-over-par 75 in Friday’s final round to beat runner-up Mitchell Thiessen by nine strokes.
The four rounds were played Tuesday through Friday at the Cultus Lake Golf Club, Meadowlands Golf Club, Chilliwack Golf Club and Royalwood Golf Course.
Bahnman’s four-day low-gross score was a
two-under-par 274 while Thiessen, 15 years old, came in at 285.
The annual tourna-ment was open to golf-ers between the ages of 11-17.
Chaewon Baek won the 11 year old division at 314.
Brian Dale won the 12 year old division at 370.
Laura Wong won the 13 year old division at 332.
Christopher Dale won the 14 year old divi-sion at 292 and Andrew Alatriz won the 17 year old division at 291.
Twenty nine golfers participated.
Bahnman the bestB.C.’s first provincial cable
wakeboarding champion-ship were held last weekend at Abbotsford’s Albert Dyck Park.
Chilliwack’s Kory McCann was a big winner, bagging gold in the nine and under division.
Flying over jumps, McCann earned 73.33 points to finish well ahead of runner-up Kolby Andrew (56.67) and third-place finisher Michael Freier (46.67).
Kory’s brother Kaden nar-rowly missed podium placing in the competitive 14-and-under division. Kaden accu-mulated 73.33 points to finish fourth.
The winner (Mason Shadlock) had 95 points.
The event was held on the waters of Walmsley Lake, located within the park.
The provincial championships in the traditional boat-towed version of the sport were contested on Saturday. Kory and Kaden competed in the cable-driven event, held Sunday at Valley Wake Park on the east end of the lake.
“This is the first provincial event we’ve ever had for cable wakeboarding,” enthused James Balzer of Valley Wake
Park, which boasts two electri-cally powered cable systems and is in its second year of
operation at Walmsley Lake. “Everything went really well. We had probably a dozen riders from Vancouver Island and some from the Interior, so they were coming from all over the province.”
Balzer said that the provincial champion-ships were a “test run” for Valley Wake Park – the local facility is
set to host the cable national championships in 2015 and 2016.
“We’ve got the opportunity
to host a lot of big events, and it’s exciting,” he said. “This is a really good way to grow the sport. We’re getting a lot more people out on the water because the cable (version of the sport) is so accessible.”
Balzer is Kory’s coach.Between his tutelage and
a gymnastics regimen, the Chilliwack kid has Olympic dreams. Cable wakeboard-ing is expected to be an Olympic sport in 2025, and Kory is intent on representing Canada.
In the meantime, Kory and his brother are looking for-ward to nationals, which will be held in Abbotsford next summer.

The provincial gov-ernment is provid-ing $5,000 to help Chilliwack Minor Baseball host a major baseball tournament.
Chilliwack MLA John Martin made the announcement Monday,
with the money des-ignated to the 2014 midget AAA Western Baseball Association Championships.
“It is an honour for CMBA to be chosen to host this year’s cham-pionships,” said Martin. “It speaks well of the quality and leadership of local sport in our community.”
The tournament will run Aug. 21-24 at Fairfield Island, with Chilliwack welcoming
five visiting teams.Without the ability
to charge entry fees, CMBA was searching for ways to offset the various costs, includ-ing transportation and umpires.
The government funding comes from Hosting BC, a grant program that funds competitive level events that support long-term athlete development plans for B.C.’s provin-cial sport organizations.
Across B.C., 37 events in 24 com-munities will share $152,250 in the latest round of Hosting BC grants. They are pro-vided by the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development and administered by ViaSport, a provincial non-profit leader in pro-moting sport and physi-cal activity.

The University of the Fraser Valley men’s soc-cer team bombed the Kwantlen Eagles 5-2 in their first exhibition action.
The game was played Saturday at UFV’s new home at Abbotsford
secondary school. The team spent the last two years playing at Chilliwack’s Townsend Park.
The Cascades and Eagles were tied 1-1 at halftime.
UFV’s James Najman (Surrey) opened the scoring eight minutes in, but Kwantlen equal-ized at the 16 minute mark.
A four-goal sec-ond half flurry made the difference for the Cascades.
Trevor O’Neill (Abbotsford) got UFV
rolling with an early goal.
Chilliwack’s Connor MacMillan earned a penalty kick and wired it into the top left corner for the third Cascade strike.
Rookie Elijah Sampson and vet-eran Justin Sekhon (Abbotsford) had the other tallies.
“I think the score was probably a true reflec-tion,” said UFV coach Alan Errington, “but having said that, I think the score could have been 3-3 at halftime. I thought Kwantlen played very well and they’re a very good team. We dodged a cou-ple bullets early on, but that’s expected in this part of the year.”
Unhampered by the usual limits on substi-tutions, the Cascades cycled through sev-
eral players. Errington experimented with combinations and chemistry.
Three goalkeepers, Ortiz, Alex Skrzeta, and Mason Woochuk, spent time in net. Several rookies, including Chilliwack FC product Grant Fadden, helped reinforce the defensive line.
Overall, he was impressed with the con-tributions of his new recruits.
“Some of the young players came on and really played well,” he said.
The Cascades play another PACWEST conference member, Langara College, on Saturday in their only other home preseason game before leaving for an eight-day team trip to California.

Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp went the distance in his latest PGA Tour Canada event, playing all four rounds at the Forces and Families Open.
The tournament was played Thursday through Sunday at the Hylands Golf Club in Ottawa.
Clapp was consistent, firing rounds of 70-70-72-70. He got off to a quick start in round one, with birdies on four of the first nine holes.
Still, he narrowly missed the cut line.
His 140 through two rounds kept him play-ing while seven golfers with 141s went home.
Clapp’s tournament highlight came in the fourth round, where he carded an eagle on the par-five eighth hole.
His final scorecard counted 13 birdies plus that eagle against 13 bogeys.
He took 282 strokes.Clapp didn’t have any
disastrous holes, and finished in a tie for 64th overall.
This was the inaugu-ral edition of the Forces and Families Open, organized to benefit the Military Families
Fund with the support of Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services and the PGA TOUR Canada.
All members of the Canadian Armed Forces, their families
and veterans were able to attend the entire week free of charge.
Canadian Greg Machtaler was the tour-ney champion with a 17 under par 267, pocket-ing $27,000.
There are only four stops left on this year’s PGA Tour Canada schedule. Clapp plays in the Great Waterway Classic Aug. 21-24 at the Loyalist Golf Club in Kingston, ON.

In Loving memory of Harley deJong
1978 - July 17, 2014
Harley is survived by his par-ents Stan and Brenda deJong; sister Melissa; daughters Brooklyn and Rue, spouse Melanie; also grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
I know you will fi nd a soft cloud, a cozy place to take a nap perhaps another angel will let you curl up in her lap. I’ll picture you singing with the angels or leading a hand, I know you will say yes to what-ever is asked, this must be part of God’s master plan.I know there is a place in heaven for a son so kind, lov-ing and true, all of God’s crea-tures are precious but none as precious as you.
We love you and will all miss you so much Harley.
ThronessHarald Norman Sept 2, 1928 - Aug 5, 2014
Harald was born to Bjarne and Olava, the fi fth of nine chil-dren, in the Norwegian farming community of La Glace north of Grande Prairie, Alberta. In 1952, after training at Peace River Bible Institute in Sex-smith, he married Edna Peters and left the family farm for ministry with the Shantymen’s Christian Association in Tofi no on Vancouver Island. There-after he served with the Chris-tian and Missionary Alliance as pastor of 11 churches over the next 50 years throughout western Canada, including Chilliwack Alliance, Sherwood Park Alliance and Sevenoaks Alliance in Abbotsford. By his own estimation, his signal ac-complishment was to estab-lish, in 1980, Strathcona Chris-tian Academy in Sherwood Park, Alberta. This K-12 school now has 1,100 stu-dents.He was the father of fi ve fi ne children: Leon, Laurie, Lyn-don, Trevor, and his ‘special girl’ Kathy, grandfather to thir-teen grandchildren, and in February, became a great-grandpa. He was prede-ceased in 2007 by Edna, whose loss he mourned to the end, and is survived by broth-ers Oswald, Lloyd and Dean, and sisters Mary and Myrtle.Harald was an able, practical preacher, characterized by hu-mility and integrity, with a pas-sion for hard work. He dedi-cated his life to make known the gospel of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, leaving a legacy that enriched the lives of thousands. He en-joyed a full and wonderful life with his beloved Edna, and his children will always be proud to call him ‘dad.’Memorial Service will be held on Friday, August 15, 2014 at 1:30pm at the Chilliwack Alli-ance Church, 8700 Young Rd. Chilliwack, BC.

HELGASON‘Laurie’
Gudmundur Laurence
08/14F_HM8
Laurie Helgason passed into the presence of the Lord on
July 22, 2014 in Chilliwack, BC. He was born May 20, 1926
to Mundi and Teenie Helgason on the family farm in the
Icelandic community of Arnes, near Gimli, Manitoba where he
lived and worked most of his life. As a commercial fisherman
on Lake Winnipeg, he partnered with his father, cousins and
close friends from his early youth. Laurie was exceptionally
gifted with his hands and completed automotive and heavy
duty mechanic training at Muscar Engineering in Winnipeg,
MB, going on to work in Motor Transport at RCAF Station
Gimli until it closed in 1971. He completed advanced welding
and precision machining courses, worked in the ship building
industry at Gimli, and established a successful automotive
repair business near Arnes, MB. Laurie loved hunting,
dancing, photography and travelling with family and friends.
Laurie was exceptionally kind and gentle, using his remarkable
mechanical talent to help others at every opportunity. He was
a man of few and softly spoken words – always considerate,
and often followed by a soft chuckle. He was a devoted son
to his parents, a loving brother to Grace Moore (Richard), and
a wonderful uncle to Mark Moore (Maureen), Dwight Moore
(Marian), Derrick Moore, and Gwenda Brouzes (Rick). He will
also be greatly missed by his Aunt Minnie Magnusson and his
many cousins, great nieces and nephews and friends.
In 2005 Laurie moved to Chilliwack to be near his sister and
brother-in-law, Grace and Richard. He soon took up residence
at the Waverly Seniors Village in Chilliwack, where he enjoyed
nine years of wonderful care and activities. His family
especially wish to thank all the staff – Laurie’s friends – at the
Waverly, which he considered ‘home,’ and the Reverend John
Sovereign and the Reverend Jennifer Burgoyne, his pastors
from St. Thomas Anglican Church, and all the volunteers
and visitors who blessed his final years with their music and
friendship. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, August
16, 2014 at 11:00 am at St. Thomas Anglican Church, 46048
Gore Avenue, Chilliwack BC, with interment to take place at
a later date in Arnes, MB. In lieu of flowers, donations can be
made to St. Thomas Church Fund. Online condolences may
be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca.

She is survived by her loving husband, Alvin Born, her daughter Paige, and her three sisters, Hariett, Louise, and Margaret. There was a small graveside service in Lady-smith, B.C. attended by imme-diate family, where her ashes remain alongside her prede-ceased mother, as by her re-quest. The family rests in the fact that her suffering is over and she has gone home to be with her heavenly father.

Margaret “Dottie” passed away
peacefully at the Chilliwack General
Hospital on Friday, August 1st in her
83rd year. She was born, January 9th,
1931 at Sioux Lookout, Ontario.
Dottie was predeceased by her loving
husband, Karl Ludwig Boehmer in
2005. He was the joy and comfort
in her life. Also, predeceased by her
sister, Florence and brothers, Allan
and Frankie. She is survived by one
sister, Kathy.
Dottie will be greatly missed by her
four children, Linda (Rick), Brenda (Bill)
Lorne (Monika) and Penny (Howard).
She was a grandmother to (Kyla,
Ryan, Heidi), (Coral, Kevin), (Jason,
Royce, Cody), (Sarah, Candice and
Dustin). Gramma had a special place
in their hearts. She always delighted
to see her great grandchildren, Caleb,
Lily, Lucas, Olivia and Isaiah.
Dottie lived at the Lynnwood
Retirement Home for the last two
years of her life, where she made many wonderful friendships
with people whom she called her family. At the Lynnwood, she
lived life to the fullest, enjoying each and every day. Being a
double amputee did not deter her from living a life full of activity
and happiness. Dottie was an “Ambassador” at the Lynnwood
Retirement Home and at the Chilliwack General Hospital. She
took on these responsibilities with loving and caring dedication.
She also served with the Salvation Army for many years during
their Christmas “kettle drives” at the Cottonwood Mall. Once
you met Dottie, you never forgot her! She will be dearly missed
by her family, friends and acquaintances.
The family would like to thank all of the doctors, nurses
and medical staff at Chilliwack General Hospital for their
professionalism and compassionate care of mom during the
last few days of her life. There will be no funeral upon request.
She loved the Lord; he was her strength and endurance. Dottie
now rests in his loving arms, a place she will be eternally
grateful for.
