Two fires keep crews busy Sunday First fire prompts AQ warning; second deemed suspicious Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Smoke drifting from a landfill fire on the Shxwha:y reserve Sunday might have impacted air quality for residents. It was one of two fire calls that crews were summoned to in the pre-dawn hours, said Chilliwack Fire Department officials. The first was just after 3 a.m. A fire was reported on a section of the Shxwha:y Village (formerly Skway First Nation) on the outskirts of Chilliwack, where a private landfill is operated by a contractor. There were no fire hydrants so hand lines had to be deployed by firefighters, and water tenders supplied water to the area. A huge pile of waste was burning. Estimated to be “three storey high” the stack contained “mixed materials.” Anyone with respiratory conditions was told to stay inside and keep windows closed. About 20 Chilliwack fire personnel rotated throughout the day to put out the fire completely, and the contractor provided an excavator to assist with digging through the debris. The cause is not yet known, but officials said it was not suspicious. But the second fire call was deemed suspicious. Chilliwack Fire Department and RCMP officials are investigating a structure fire as a possible arson, in the 46000 block of Fourth Avenue. It was called in at about 3:30 that same Sunday morning. Fire crews arrived to find a detached garage was fully engulfed in flames and it had ignited a nearby boarded-up house.

That’s contrary to the original plan of developing the site in a partnership between Squiala and real estate developer League Assets Corp.

amount has been developed so far. While Home Depot nests behind a field of gravel and grass enclosed by temporary fencing, League Assets announced last week that it has completed all construction of the Eagle Landing project. That’s because the partnership between Squiala and League Assets has been dissolved for the north site, which contains Home Depot and the remaining undeveloped land. “The original intent of the project was to be a partnership throughout the entire site,” explained David Jimmie, Chief and CEO of Squiala First Nation. “Once we got about half-way through, just finishing up the

Walmart area and the Shell location, the band decided as a council that we wouldn’t continue the partnership onto the second half of the project.” Squiala will develop the northern site alone. “Once we started learning more about the business and more about the opportunity, and whether or not we could finance it on our own, or whether we had enough equity to do it, once we figured out that we could, there was really no need for a partner,” said Jimmie. The partnership remains for the south site around the movie theatre, and the east site around the Shell gas station.
League Assets says it backed out of partnering on the development of the northern portion because of low demand for commercial space. “We just didn’t see the demand being there in the short term for more than what’s already now been built,” said CEO Adam Gant. Squiala says that’s just an excuse, and disagrees that demand is a legitimate concern. “They’re still asking, to this day, to be a part of the partnership. To keep the partnership going to the north,” said Jimmie. The band learned about land development through its experience on the south site, and Continued: EAGLE/ p12

Conservation concerns shut down Fraser salmon fishing Alina Konevski The Progress A large portion of the Chilliwack recreational fishing industry has come to an abrupt halt as the government shut down the Fraser River to salmon fishing. Up to 70 per cent of sockeye salmon in the Fraser are expected to die before reaching spawning grounds, according to Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Fishing for any type of salmon in the river from the Mission bridge to the Alexander Bridge past Yale was suspended as of Friday until further notice. The reasons for the closure are the record-high in-river temperatures of 20 to 22 °C as well as lower than expected sockeye returns. The heat impairs swimming, causes disease outbreaks, and rapidly deteriorates the health of the fish, explained Les Jantz, DFO area director for the B.C. Interior. Ideal temperatures for spawning are 16 to 18 °C. The run, at an estimated 3.2 million fish, is also smaller than the
earlier forecast of 4.7 million. “That’s why we’ve closed fishery. We’re trying to get more fish into the river so that the 30 per cent that do survive, we maximize the number,” said Jantz. Although the concern is primarily about the sockeye, fishing of all species has closed because of the risk of catching sockeye as bycatch. But fishing is still permitted where the Fraser meets the Strait of Georgia, where the main method is trolling from a boat. This results in “very very low” incidents of sockeye bycatch, according to Jantz. Further up the Fraser, however, some anglers choose to use “bottom-bouncing” or “flossing,” a technique using long leader lines in which they have little control over which salmon get hooked. “Any additional stress that is put on those fish right now is not a good thing,” said Jantz. Chilliwack Fishing guide Dean Werk of Great River Fishing Adventures, said if there is a serious conservation concern there
should be “no fishing anywhere” including in the marine approach, like the West Coast of Vancouver Island, where most of the sockeye are pooling right now. Bottom-bouncers are not on the river in large numbers at the moment, compared to when there’s a retention fishery for sockeye, he said. He was talking to The Progress while guiding in the Fraser Canyon, near Hope, with visitors who flew into Chilliwack from out of province specifically for the chance to fish sturgeon. “We have done three years of hook and release mortality studies that clearly show a less than two per cent mortality on sport-caught sockeye salmon,” he said. But federal Fisheries will not use these mortality study results to manage the fishery. “We have shown clearly that we can fish for both chinook and pink salmon with an almost nonmeasurable impact.” Werk said his company is fielding a number of cancellations due to the closure, including an 11-per-
son group that was booked to fly in from Edmonton. That’s travel plans, hotel rooms, restaurant meals, all cancelled. “There’s going to be an immediate economic impact for all the guide companies, for the hotels, for the tourism-related businesses that were going to benefit from the visitors coming into the community to take advantage of doing some salmon fishing this summer,” said Brian Coombes, executive director of Tourism Chilliwack. Great River Fishing Adventures alone does $1 million worth of fishing trips annually. Coombes added that those visitors disappointed by the closure this year are less likely to return. “There’s also a credibility issue as well. There’s a lot of money spent raising awareness about the sport fishing opportunities in the Fraser River and our area; to try to attract sport fishing enthusiasts here.” Once the sockeye run is near completion, possibly as early as September, the government may reopen the Fraser to fishing of
other salmon species. “We anticipate at this point that there will be other recreational and First Nations fishing opportunities on other species, like pink salmon and chum salmon. At this point, this closure is specifically to try to get the sockeye through, as many as we possibly can. And when the sockeye returns begin to dissipate, then we will be looking at other opportunities,” said Jantz. The unusually high air temperatures this summer have led to a lack of rainfall and below average water levels in the Fraser, which in turn has led to higher water temperatures. These reached similar heights in 2004, but later in the season. Prior to that, temperatures was similarly high in 1998. The last time that the fishing season ended so early was in 2009, when only 1.5 million salmon returned from the projected 10 million. This year’s salmon are returning from the collapse of that year. Fishing for trout, steelhead, sturgeon and other non-salmon species on the Fraser remains open. ~ With files from Jennifer Feinberg

Airborne car plummets to Luckakuck from Evans Driver airlifted to New West hospital A single-vehicle crash at the intersection of Evans Road and Luckakuck Way that forced the closure of Luckakuck Way for several hours Thursday remains under investigation. Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said a car was travelling northbound on Evans Road approaching the overpass when, for reasons unknown, it jumped the cement median and crossed both southbound lanes. “It struck a light standard where the eastbound on-ramp enters the overpass,” he explained. “Then, it
went airborne over Luckakuck, collided with the cement retaining wall and fell onto Luckakuck.” East and westbound traffic on the usually-busy road was shut down until mid-afternoon while the Lower Mainland District Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service investigated. Meanwhile, the Evans Road roundabout and overpass remained open, with southbound traffic cut to one lane. Highway 1 was not affected. The lone person in the car was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster.

It’s been 100 years since rock slides crashed into the Fraser Canyon, virtually wiping out sockeye salmon runs in the river system. This week the Pacific Salmon Commission is holding a special event at Hell’s Gate, marking the events which precipitated a century “of cooperation in restoring and managing” the salmon runs of the Fraser River. The Hell’s Gate slides of 1913 and 1914, according to the PSC: “not only forever changed the Fraser River ecosystem and the migration of Fraser River Sockeye to every major tributary in British Columbia’s interior, but led directly to a century of close collaboration,” between First Nations, Native Americans, and both federal governments of Canada and the U.S. “Around the world it’s not that common to see one body working together on a shared natural resource for 100 years,” said John Field, PSC executive secretary. “It’s unique to have First Nations, aboriginal governments and national governments working together toward a common goal.” It hasn’t been all “sweetness

and light,” over the years however and there have been differences of opinion on the international organization. “But everyone contributed to efforts to bring back the Fraser River sockeye,” Field said. The origins of the international PSC were borne of a treaty, not unlike United Nations, in the aftermath of rock slides caused by railway blasting in 1913 and 1914 in the Fraser Canyon, downstream from
Boston Bar. Sto:lo fisherman Ken Malloway from Tzeachten First Nation in Chilliwack, is a member of the Fraser Panel. The Fraser Panel was created by the PSC and it has the power to open and close fisheries, as well as operating test fisheries. Malloway plans to be in attendance at Hell’s Gate on Thursday to say a few words. “I’ll be talking about how the Continued: FRASER/ p4

parties worked together to try to rebuild the Fraser salmon runs after the slide,” he said. First Nations played a key role, too, in the rebuilding process. Elders told stories about what happened to Sto:lo communities in the wake of the devastating rock slides. Those who could see the site from the Fraser Canyon looked down in horror after the first slide in 1913 to see all the salmon pooling helplessly behind the slide debris. “A lot of First Nations folks went up there to try to capture and haul up some of those trapped fish, and salvage as much as they could,” Malloway said. An agreement was forged to try to fix the situation by removing the blockage. “But there wasn’t much fishing for a long time after that. It took years for them to fix it and it was never fixed completely,” said Malloway. Attendees on Aug. 22 will get to see images of a fishway construction camp at Hell’s Gate and outstanding views of the fishways, which assisted migrating salmon get over some of the most challenging narrows in the world. Officials will be unveiling two new updated plaques, to mark the fish ladders or fishways that have helped salmon runs bypass the obstacles, and to explain the international cooperation that led to them. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

“So instead of those materials going into the landfill, we were able to turn them around and use them effectively,” said the owner. The water park attraction at Cultus now features three tube slides heading into one pool, including one offering a completely covered ‘black hole’ experience. The steel was imported into Canada, sanded down to bare metal and galvanized for use in the slide project. The fibreglass was sanded right down to the membrane before being recoated. Part of the rationale for the project’s reuse of materials was environmental, but the recycled part of it makes the project more financially feasible, too, Steunenberg said. “We’ve got more slides and attractions than anybody. We have to do it in a unique way.” In this year’s competition, there were 42 total entrants and 38 projects
considered. Over the 25 years the competition has been in place, the value of the projects has grown tremendously, and the total value of projects considered in this year’s competition represented $1.1 billion of construction throughout B.C. “The judges were extremely impressed with the high quality of the projects nominated this year,” says Tony Everett, chair of the awards adjudication committee. “All the Silver Award winners are true leaders in the industry, and we are proud to honour them at this year’s milestone event.” One Silver Award winner from each category will be chosen as the Gold Award winner during the 25th Annual VRCA Awards of Excellence gala dinner on October 17, 2013 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

A Cultus Lake Water Park slide has earned recognition for environmental leadership from the Vancouver Regional Construction Association. The Tubular Terror slide was honoured with the Silver Award of Excellence from the VRCA in the category of Sustainable Construction. Water park contractors, Solid Rock Steel, made the VCRA’s short list for their use of refurbished steel and fibreglass materials, that were shipped here from a closed-down water park. Criteria for award winners ranged from construction projects that were on-time and on-budget, to impressive safety records and innovative engineering, said VRCA president Jan Robinson. “In this case the design of the slide was quite intricate, and they had zero lost time over accidents,” she told The Progress. Cultus Lake Water Park owner Chris Steunenberg was stoked by the news of the award. “It feels great to be a winner, and to be recognized for trying to do something for the environment,” he said. The recycled materials came from a California water park that had closed down in 2006. They had the slide elements disassembled and the steel and fibreglass pieces were trucked to Cultus Lake, and later rebuilt along with a new tower for the Tubular Terror slide.

Labour unrest threatens as new school year nears Colin Pawson, Chair of the CUPE BC K-12 Presidents’ Council, in a release. CUPE members
have been without a contract for over a year. Members in Chilliwack, such as education assistants, clerical staff, trades staff, custodians, and bus drivers, voted 94 per cent in support of strike action in April 2013. The situation is now more “dire” than before, according to Rod Isaac, president for local 411 in Chilliwack. “They (the government) said they wanted to get a deal done. They were supposed to meet with us. First it was last week, then it was this week, but they broke off simply because they said they were not prepared,” said Isaac. The Ministr y of Education has until early September to return to the bargaining table. Local 411 is sitting down with the Chilliwack school board next week. Isaac confirmed that CUPE is mapping out a contingency plan in case the union instigates job action that disrupts classes. “We’re waiting for them (the government) to get back to us. The clock is ticking. But if there is no effort by the government to come back and do some actual serious negotiations with us, then there’s a very very good likelihood that we will see a full scale job action sometime in fall,” said Isaac. That would mean no CUPE staff, and traditionally teachers aren’t supposed to cross the picket line either. The 27,000 CUPE workers in B.C. have some of the lowest salaries in the school system. The union is fighting for two per cent pay raises to its staff for two years. Because the government has refused to allocate funds to local school districts for collective bargaining, CUPE has focussed its fight on the provincial level. Late June, the government appointed a new sole negotiator, ending the traditional negotiating role of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association.

Time well spent
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
A wise person once said, time is like money, it isn’t how much you have, but what you do with what you have. Certainly a commendable aspiration, considering how short life really is. The realities of modern day life, however, seem to strip away at our precious time at an ever increasing rate, making it difficult to spend time wisely. Faced with these tugs on personal time, it is remarkable and noteworthy that many among us find the time to volunteer. For that we are grateful. Volunteers help build welcoming, supportive communities and rich communities. Rich, not in the sense of wealth, but rather in terms of activities, events and services that serve to enrich the lives of everyone in the community. In most communities, sports of any kind would not exist without the community members who volunteer their time to coach. Service organizations such as the Rotary Club or the Lions Club, to name a few, offer their time in service to the community, in addition to raising money for special community projects. The recent Chilliwack Flight Fest is an example of what volunteer effort can accomplish. It remains the only free airshow left in the country, due in part to its sponsors, but also its volunteers. On Sunday, aviation fans got to see spectacular aerial performances, check out interesting static displays, even climb on board a Second World War fighter bomber. All of this free of charge, all of it organized and run by volunteers, from the medical tent and trash removal up to the directors. There are, of course, other events throughout the year that only happen because people are willing to give their time. Volunteers always say they do it to give back to the community. Giving back to a community you care for is always time well spent. Try it, you just might like it. ~ Black Press

Cloud forest creature was hiding in plain sight Last week’s announcement of the discovery of a new mammal in the cloud forest of Equador and Colombia was pretty cool stuff at a time when there is so much said about threatened species and potential extinction events. The little raccoon-like Olinguito with long, reddish-brown fur and a curious bear-like face lives high in the Andean mountains and was discovered by researchers with the Smithsonian Institution. Actually, the Olinguito has been hiding in plain sight. It has been part of museum displays for the past century but had been wrongly called by the name of its larger cousin, Olingo. The new species is only a metre long and weighs under a kilogram with a smaller snout, a bushier tail and brightly coloured fur. DNA studies showed that it only contained 90 per cent of the DNA of the Olingo. Figuring out how many species

there are on Earth is tricky business. For all the satellite trackers and GPS systems, we fall far short of really knowing how many species make this planet home. Each year, researchers report more than 15,000 new species. There’s a bat the size of a raspberry that is Olinguito’s neighbour. In Singapore there’s Margaret a nematode worm that lives only in EVANS the lungs of the changeable lizard. In northern Sri Lanka there’s a new species of the Indian tiger spider. This giant tarantula with baby-blue tiger stripes is about the size of your face, has a venomous attitude and a sporty ability to sprint quickly. It will never make the top-ten list of an arach-
naphobe’s must-have pets. Many new species like fungi, microbes, or insects never make the news. And buried in museums around the world are preserved specimens waiting for taxonomists’ attention so that they can be named, described, and added to the list of Earth’s total biodiversity. The Catalogue of Life, started in 2001 by Species 2000 and the Integrated Taxonomic Integrated System documents all known species of organisms on Earth. Two years ago I wrote about the Catalogue in this column and its 2010 edition documented 1.25 million species. But now that number has grown and the Catalogue lists 1,426,888 plant, animal, fungi, and micro-organism species, representing some 70 per cent of the number of species known to science but not fully described. The Catalogue’s content comes from
over 200 expert taxonomic databases worldwide involving over 3,000 specialists. Estimating how many species live on Earth is tricky guesswork. Some scientists have pegged the planet’s true diversity at nearly 9 million species, give or take a million. Other scientists believe it’s far greater. There are, after all, over one million species of insects alone and that number gets added to constantly. Then there are microbes. A single spoonful of soil may contain 10,000 different species of bacteria and many of those could be new to science. As new species are discovered, others disappear because of pressure from habitat loss, pesticides, and over-hunting. Couple those with the advancement of climate change and that threat is likely to increase. Since 2000, the Pyrenean ibex, Yangtze River’s Baiji dol-

On deck are 3,071 species considered critically endangered by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), a collaboration of 83 countries, 800 NGOs, and 10,000 scientists. The current extinction rate is estimated at anywhere between 100 and 1,000 times the historic rate. Discovering new species is one thing. Keeping them off the endangered list even before they are fully named may be the next great challenge.

Learn how to drive roundabouts A lot of people seem confused about the purpose and benefit of the roundabout at Evans Road. Two lanes going through that intersection allow a much larger volume of traffic at a much steadier pace, something that is absolutely necessary with the large number of shoppers at the current and future Eagle Landing businesses, not to mention through-traffic between Sardis and Chilliwack via
this route. The City of Chilliwack is thinking ahead and I applaud them for that. Putting in a single lane in that area would only cause congestion as traffic ramps up in that area in the coming years. The issue isn’t the number of lanes, but the lack of care and understanding on the part of the drivers travelling through the roundabout. When it first went in, the newspapers did a great job
of illustrating the correct usage of the lanes, and huge signs on all sides of the roundabout also illustrate perfectly well how to use it. If drivers are still unaware how to use it properly, a quick Google search will bring up loads of helpful information. More roundabouts are coming very soon to Chilliwack. Now is the time to learn how to use them.

Only those who agreed were quoted. Only those studies that agreed with the agenda were used.

So cold has the Russian winter been that Moscow had its deepest snowfall in 134 years of observations.” Yes these are all 2013 reports that your news media (except Sun TV)

Climate change talk just ‘hot air’ So Margaret Evans takes a few hot days to make her point that 98% scientists agree with global warming. Yes, she is probably right that 98% of the political scientists of the UN’s IPCC committee agree with this. She quotes the report of DARA Group who just happen to be an offshoot of the UN. She says the studies were written by over 50 scientists and “peer reviewed” by other scientists. Let’s look at the facts. First of all IPCC and DARA only used reports given by scientists who were obligated to agree with their “global warming agenda.” If Margaret Evans will spend $5, she can download from the Internet the research by Donna Laframboise, (Independent Canadian reporter) who also originally was sold on global warming.

Thinking Differently Yields Rewards Market Commentary (July 11, 2013) By Murray Leith, Odlum Brown Vice President and Director, Investment Research
Investment strategists are busy promoting the virtues of U.S. equities and warning that both the Canadian economy and stock market will struggle due to weaker economic growth in China. We agree with these common themes, and believe that U.S. stocks will outshine Canadian equities for several years. Still, it is often better to think differently and be ahead of the crowd. We have been talking about today’s popular themes for some time.

In a speech delivered in early 2011 titled “Back to the Past to Learn *As of July 11, 2013. From Stories That Were Oversold” we outlined the reasons to favour U.S. stocks. Our contrarian perspective has yielded pleasing rewards. Since the end of 2010, U.S. stocks have produced a total return of close to 50 per cent versus zero return from Canadian stocks. Over the same period, the Odlum Brown Model Portfolio1 has appreciated by about 40 per cent, due to significant positions in a number of high quality U.S. companies and limited exposure to resource stocks. With the U.S. housing sector in the early stages of recovery, and overall U.S. economic growth accelerating, we think the good times will continue.

Eagle Landing enters new phase of development EAGLE from page Front completed a six-month risk analysis about developing the north on its own. The band
discussed the plan with lenders and leasing agents before dissolving the partnership for the north. “Our model was
always to try to have ownership of the project. Even within the partnership, we have first right of purchase if any of our partners
want to sell their share,” said Jimmie. Jimmie is confident that the band can manage the development of the north site, and says
it is “unfortunate” that other bands in other situations “don’t have capacity to do it right.” Construction in the south and east has been

Squiala will turn its focus on the north site after the south and east are completely leased. The band isn’t ready to disclose details on which businesses will take up residence in the north, but confirmed it will “continue along the same theme of commercial retail site.” It is unclear whether the complex will ever meet the initial promise of being the largest shopping and entertainment centre of its kind in B.C. All parties left open the possibility of a partnership for future developments. “We wouldn’t exclude any partners if something were to arise which would stir up the options. It’s just right now we want to move forward and do it on our own,” said Jimmie. League echoed the sentiment. “We’re certainly open to (a partnership with Squiala First Nation).

Courtney Anderson, who founded The Wanted Children Foundation in 2006 when she was just 23 years old, moved to Nigeria on July 3 of this year with huge plans to build an entire community within the southeastern village of Amaba. The Wanted Children Foundation feeds and clothes vulnerable children, cares for widows, and provides educational opportunities. The foundation currently owns a 10-bedroom, two-storey house that was given to them by a doctor who now lives in Nashville. In order for her to take that next step and build a community, it will take a lot of time, space, and money. For the past seven weeks, Anderson has been in Nigeria with her parents, Steve and Catherine, with three things on their plate. First, they are completing the paperwork to obtain non-gov-
ernmental organization status in Nigeria, a key to the foundation’s future success. “By having NGO status in Nigeria, that means we are following the government’s rules,” Courtney says, making it easier to do the work they want to do there. Secondly, they want to open up the home that was donated to them, for six children to come and live in permanently. To run and maintain the home, with the staff plus six kids, is about $5,000 a month. Currently, the house acts as a place for children and widows to come daily for food, clothing and school fees. Finally, Anderson’s big dream is to build a walled community with several houses, a playground, gardens, a meeting hall, cafeteria, offices, medical clinic, and a school. “We want it to be self sustaining. The [orphaned] children would be raised in the [donated] home and schooled so that when they come out, they can work with our program or within the community,” she adds. The Andersons are currently looking at five parcels of land, all
of which have been selected and donated by the local tribal council for projects like The Wanted Children Foundation’s. The tribal council will ultimately decide who gets which parcel of land. Once they’ve been given a section of land, the Andersons will have to wall the boundaries with concrete blocks to claim it, otherwise squatters would move in. Courtney Anderson has been travelling back and forth from Canada to Nigeria for the past seven years. During that time, there were a number of issues and struggles that she and the foundation experienced which put a pause on their most recent plans. “Nigeria is a dangerous and difficult. It became apparent to us that it was too dangerous and difficult and challenging to work there [at one point] which is why it has taken us so long to do the work that we want to do,” says Courtney. “It takes, we figure, about six months for someone to go to Nigeria with all the proper paperwork,” she says. But, “just because it’s hard to go in there, doesn’t mean that they
shouldn’t be helped,” she adds. Geographically, Nigeria is about the same size as B.C. With a population of 170 million, there are approximately 17.3 million orphans and vulnerable children in Nigeria. The life expectancy is about 47 years of age, and one in 10 children die during childbirth. The main causes of death are malaria, and drinking contaminated water. Because Nigeria has no surface water that can be purified, clean water can only be found by going into the ground, which is why, two years ago, the foundation raised money to purchase a water rig. “The rig is here in Chilliwack being refurbished, and the hope is some time this fall for it to be shipped to Nigeria,” says Courtney. Once the water rig arrives in Nigeria, “we will put a well on our current site, and then one on our project site. We can eventually charge wealthy Nigerians, politicians and military for their wells, and that money would then go directly towards new wells for other villages that can’t afford them,” says Anderson.
All of the money to pay for The Wanted Children Foundation’s projects and day-to-day running costs has come from private donations from the people of Chilliwack. Chilliwackians have also donated items for the children to sell and make money from, such as tea and hand-knitted toques. But they constantly need more money. “We can’t take in kids unless we have money to back us up. We need the money to speak a bit louder. In the end, it’s saving a life,” says Steve Anderson. The Andersons are asking for private and corporate donations to help them reach their goal of building a community in Nigeria. Local architecture firm, Craven Huston Powers, is working on designing the project site pro bono. To donate, go to www.thewantedchildren.com. The Wanted Children Foundation is a registered charity, and charitable receipts are issued to those who donate. photo@theprogress.com twitter.com/PhotoJennalism

tle might be in line. The advantage, says Tracey, is that once the extensions are applied they are virtually maintenance free. They look natural, last up to eight weeks, and come out only when the natural lash falls out. No more mascara, no more smudges, and no more mess, Tracey says. The look is maintained through regular visits or “refills.” There are several packages to choose from, Tracey adds, providing a range of looks and prices, from “Opulent” to the more subtle and natural “Bijoux.” Want a quick accent? Voila offers “flashes” – just 10 lashes per eye. (In fact, Voila is offering free flashes to anyone who comes in and mentions this article this week.)

It’s sometimes difficult to predict quantity, especially during the summer months when travel plans vary. What doesn’t change is her commitment to quality. Sandwiches are made from the freshest ingredients and rotated regularly to ensure customers get the best. That’s important, she says, because the next time a trucker pulls into the Greendale Petrocan, Cyndi wants him reaching for one of her sandwiches and not somebody else’s.

Federal Industr y Minister James Moore has fired back at Canada’s big three telecom firms in response to their campaign against the potential entry of U.S. mobile phone carrier Verizon. Incumbent phone companies Bell Canada, Telus and Rogers have taken to the airwaves with ads objecting to Verizon’s ability to use existing infrastructure without having to build its own network if the U.S. giant buys up one of Canada’s two smaller wireless firms that are up for sale. They also have a website, fairforcanada.ca, that contends Verizon would threaten Canadian jobs

and potentially the privacy and security of cellphone users. Their spokesman accused the Tories of scoring populist political points by tempting a “misinformed� public with the lure of lower prices through more competition. Moore said the companies’ claims are filled with assumptions and misinformation about the federal government’s intent in allowing a new foreign wireless competitor. The federal Conservatives launched their own website Friday to counter the telcos – consumersfirst.ca. It underscores the high prices Canadians pay compared to other countries and argues Canada’s big three carriers won’t be forced out by Verizon because they own 85 per cent of the wireless spectrum.

Chilliwack mom Walmart finalist lies and the scientific side of things. “What it gives is hope to be able to fund more research with that money, and offer support for the newly diagnosed.

But what we do is show that someone out there has their back when times are tough, which they are from the start. “They get one-on-one support from a parent that understands and a friendship that lasts a lifetime.� They won’t know who wins until later this fall.

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack mom Susi Vanderwyk made the cut as one of eight finalists vying for the title of 2013 Walmart Mom of the Year. “I was just speechless,� she tells The Progress. As a finalist she is awarded $10,000 and another $10,000 for her charity, Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Canada. When she told her family the news, she cried, and her kids told her they knew she could do it. Susi and Bruce Vanderwyk have three kids, Dexter, Holli and Amy. When Holli was two, she was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2. After a year of struggling blindly, Susi started up a support group for parents, and the rest is history. “We’ve really got a lot of love in our lives!� she says.

Drivers, prepare to stop; back-to-school season is here The Canada Safety Council would like to remind motorists that yellow school buses are back on the roads this fall. Remain vigilant, patient and responsible so that everyone gets where they are going safely. Know the law
The Highway Traffic Act in each province and territory states that every driver, approaching from both directions toward a school bus with overhead red signal-lights flashing, must stop and shall not proceed until the bus moves or the overhead red signallights have stopped flashing (except on highways separated by a median strip, whereby oncoming traffic is
not required to stop). Also, school buses are required by law to stop at all railway crossings; motorists should likewise be prepared to stop behind school buses. Breaking the law is costly – fines are as high as $2,000 and motorists can expect up to nine demerit points for the first offense. Your province’s or territory’s licensing bureau website has current penalty information. Travel by school bus is 16 times safer than travelling in a family car per passenger per kilometre of travel, according to a study by Transport Canada. In addition, each school bus made and imported into Canada has approximately
40 standard safety features built into the design and construction. These include specialized brake systems, lighting, emergency exits, escape hatches in the roof, and high padded seatbacks that cushion the impact of a crash. It is most common for injuries to be sustained once children are outside the bus. Children may be hit by their own school bus or other vehicles, underlining the need for all motorists to abide by the laws and be vigilant with student pedestrians and bicyclists.
• Abide by the school bus traffic laws. • Watch for children running to catch their bus. They have been known to pay little regard for their own safety and may dart out in traffic. • Respect the crossing guards and slow down in school zones. • During the school year, be especially cautious during periods of the day when students are travelling to and from home. • Watch for cyclists and pedestrians on roadways.
Important tips
• When turning at intersections, watch out for students using the crosswalks. • Teach your own children about safe conduct in roadways and on school buses. Prevention is the key to
safety. With education and awareness, all children should be able to get safely to school and home again. Take the time to review, remember, follow and share these valuable rules and tips with other drivers and your children.

Ex-Chilliwack Chief skating for SFU

being an impact player once he gets there rather than the fourth line kid that doesn’t get the minutes or situations that he needs to be successful,” Smyl said. “With us he’ll get all those minutes, develop physically and mentally and be better prepared to step in and contribute at the university level.” Like the defence, the forward corps surrounding Plevy is light on returnees. Jaret Babych is back, along with Mathieu Tibbet and Tanner Cochrane. Now 20 years old,
Tibbet is a player Smyl expects bigger things from. “He should be comfortable within the organization, and he should be ready to be a more consistent contributing player,” Smyl said. A player with a familiar last name is Ben Butcher, younger brother of ex-Chiefs star Matt Butcher. Acquired from Langley in the offseason, the 18-yearold brings a big body (six-foot-two and 190 pounds), grit and offensive upside. “I’ve known him

since he was a young, young kid and he’s stepping into an organization that’s going to give him an opportunity to play a bigger role,” Smyl offered. “I see a lot of Matt in him. He’s a competitor, and I love putting those kids into our program.” Matt Butcher played three years for the Chiefs and had 101 points in 57 games during his final season. It may be unrealistic to expect similar things from Ben, but Smyl didn’t exactly shy away from the idea. “Remember that
Donohoe notched 23 points and 17 penalty minutes in 32 BCHL games with the Chiefs. Prior to that, he played four seasons in the OJHL with Peterborough and
Matt took a couple years to do that, and there was progression in his game,” he said. “Ben may actually have a bit more skill than Matt had, and there’s potential for him to be a great player.” As for the rest of the training camp roster, it’ll be wait and see. Names like Zach Diamantoni, Blake Gober and T.J. Roche might not mean a whole lot now. “They’ve all been successful at the levels at which they’ve played, and it’s about how quickly they adjust

to this situation,” Smyl said. Overall, Smyl looks forward to getting the new guys settled in as quickly as possible. He’ll want to get them into defined roles and get them feeling comfortable on and off the ice. At that point, he hopes the team’s overall talent level will carry it to big things. “Trying to piece it all together with combos and stuff, there’s going to be a learning process,” he said. “But looking at it right now, I kind of like what we’ve got going on.”

Chiefs take their preseason to Hope Black Press

Did you move into the area recently? Are you a new mom or a mother-to-be?
“I went to their game last year and it was a full house. These juniors play with so much passion.” Barry Douglas, the Chiefs’ director of marketing and sales, said there would be a number of things to watch for in the game. “The Chiefs have a long history with the community of Hope,” said Douglas. “We’ve had players like Brad Loring, Aaron Hoggan and Wyatt Tunnicliffe — and our announcers Bryce Stephenson and Dave Mawhinney have
ties with Hope.” Mawhinney will be announcing at the Hope event. “We’re having homeand-away games with the Surrey Eagles, Aug. 23 and 24… on the 24 in Chilliwack,” said Douglas. “The game in Hope is the second-last in the preseason, so we should have our numbers cut down. The players will really be fighting to get the final spots on the roster.” Tickets are on-sale now at the Hope rec centre: $7 each, for all ages.

Hockey season in Hope will start with a bang on Aug. 27, when the Chilliwack Chiefs meet the Coquitlam Express in the Hope Arena for a preseason exhibition match. It’s not just a game, though. Organizers have grabbed hold of the opportunity and have turned it into a community celebration. The puck drop is at 7 p.m. but the evening kicks off at 5 with a tail-gate party in the Rec Centre parking lot. There will be face-painting, street hockey, sidewalk chalk and a musical performance by Crossfire. Hope Minor Hockey will be running a hot dog and hamburger barbecue — and they’ll be the recipients of $2 for each $7 game ticket sold. Lloyd Forman, FVRD Area A director and chair of the Fraser Valley Regional District Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services Commission was enthused by the plans for the big day. “This kind of event is the epitome of what the town should be doing,” he said. “What we can do is build a sense of community and that it’s a great place to live. This really builds community and attracts businesses that value that local spir-
it.” Forman, who lives in Boston Bar, learned to play hockey when he was growing up in Saskatchewan. “I loved it! I played fours hours a day until I got married,” he recalled. “I wasn’t very big but I was a good skater. “Hockey is great for kids,” added Forman. “You learn to give and take. “From the Chiefs point of view, I think it’s good marketing… spreading their fan base,” said Forman.

ARNOLD, Michael N. Jan 28, 1953 - Aug 29, 2012
HETH Leonard “Len”
It is with profound sadness that we announce John Boucher passed from this life to be with his Lord and Saviour on August 10, 2013 at the age of 55. He fought his battle with Bone Marrow cancer bravely and courageously without complaint and thought of others as he took part in research study to help others beneÀt from his BOUCHER experience. John was born to Joseph and Ida Boucher (nee Szypa) in Iserlohn, Germany on March 16, 1958. His father was in the Canadian Military, stationed in Germany and returned with his family to New Brunswick April 1958. They moved to Chilliwack, BC where his father was stationed at CFB Chilliwack. John was an industrious boy who began working early in his life with odd jobs and summer harvesting. He was a hardworking and dedicated employee working in the dairy industry with his father-in-law, Erwin Braun, in the hog industry with Scarlet Maple Farms, then with Ritchie Smith Farms Ltd and in the poultry industry at Bradner Farms. He worked like it was his own farm and took pride and satisfaction in making them the best they could be. While at Ritchie Smith Farms, he also served on the Agricultural Workforce Policy Board for BC to improve the working conditions for employees of that industry. He met his sweetheart, Pam, in Grade 11 at CSSS in 1975 and they were married August 18, 1979 at Christ Lutheran church (CLCC). John reafÀrmed his Christian faith at CLCC and was very involved with serving the church. He was a devout and faithful servant of Christ, ‘not because I have to, but because I feel called to,’ he would say. He was Sunday School Superintendent at CLCC and served on the Church Council on the Board of Deacons, the Board of Trustees, the Worship Committee, as Chairman of the congregation as well as serving as Chair of the Call Committee. In 2004, John was elected to the BC Synod Council for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, to serve in various roles as Council member for the Lower Fraser Valley Conference, Stewardship Committee and Vice Chair in 2007 to 2010. In between his many roles in the workforce and community, John was a devoted family man who loved Àshing, gardening, cooking and reading. He will be sadly missed by his wife and soul mate, Pam; sons, Byron (Jordan and daughter Jamie) and Jordan; father Joe, mother Ida, sisters Denise, and Jackie (Ananta) as well as mother-in-law Alide Braun, sister-in-laws Linda Palmer (Joe), Gisela Davidson (Roy) and brother-in-law Ralph Braun (Maureen) and many uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews and a huge number of friends and colleagues he came in contact with throughout his lifetime. He is predeceased by his father-in-law Erwin Braun, nephew Adrian Palmer and grandparents Wilfred and Elodie Boucher and Johanna Kappers-Szypa. A Celebration of Life service will be held at Christ Lutheran Church, 9460 Charles St. Chilliwack, on Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 1:00 pm. Memorial donations may be made to the Leukemia/Bone Marrow Transplant Program of BC www.leukemiabmtprogram.org or to the Canadian Cancer Society www.cancer.ca. Woodlawn Mt.
