Chilliwack goes to war

■ C HILLIWACK ’ S G REAT W AR

EDITOR’S NOTE: One hundred years ago today, Progress readers opened their Aug. 6, 1914 edition to news that would change their lives and, indeed, change their world. Today, The Chilliwack Progress reprints some of those stories, as they appeared, beginning with a front-page article announcing the call for mobilization.

To Be Recruited To Full Strength Companies Comprising the 104th Regt. Will Be Brought Up to Full Strength at Once. Action is Taken in View of Situation Which May Involve the Empire in War. Regimental orders were issued Friday by Col. J.D. Taylor to recruit the companies of the 104th Regiment Westminster Fusileers up to full strength and officers commanding companies will take the necessary steps in order to bring their companies up to the required figure of 57 men per company. This action is taken in view of the present warlike situation in Europe and which may soon involve the mother country and in which Canadian assistance may be required. At present the 104th consists of six companies, while the full establishment provides for eight companies. Four of these present companies are in New Westminster and two in Chilliwack. It is suggested that this is an opportune time for the organization of two new companies at New Westminster, and this will likely be done as soon as the present companies are fully

Sockeye openings start despite survival concerns Black Press Commercial fishermen and sports anglers are now getting their first crack at what’s hoped to be a record return of Fraser River sockeye salmon. A 38-hour opening for commercial gillnetters took place over the B.C. Day long weekend in Johnstone Strait near Campbell River, likely the first of several openings this summer. Recreational fishing for sockeye in marine areas last Friday and on tidal sections of the lower Fraser Sunday, with non-tidal areas further upstream expected to open the middle of this week.

Department of Fisheries and Oceans area director Les Jantz said most sockeye stocks appear to be coming in close to or slightly below expectations. There’s no in-season estimate of the run size yet, but the midrange forecast was for 23 million sockeye, with potential for that to be as low as 7.2 million and as high as 72 million due to an unusual level of uncertainty. Fishery managers are carefully watching to ensure enough sockeye get back upstream to spawn in light of challenging river conditions. Water levels are 11 per cent below normal, which Jantz said also means the river can heat up

fast to dangerously warm temperatures in a bout of hot weather. The river temperature was 18.4 degrees on July 31 – 0.7 degrees higher than average for this date – and expected to warm to 20.7 degrees in the next few days. Sustained exposure to water at that temperature can stress migrating sockeye, killing many before they spawn. DFO will this year let up to 65 per cent of the run be caught or die of other causes on their migration, an increase from 60 per cent in past years to allow more fishing opportunity. That decision has been criticized by conservation groups that say DFO has authorized overfishing

that will result in a high bycatch of threatened stocks, such as Cultus Lake sockeye and Interior coho, which migrate alongside the more abundant sockeye. Jantz said DFO is prepared to make further adjustments to the fishing plan as more run size information comes in to ensure weak stocks aren’t severely damaged by the sockeye fishery. Fishing by First Nations for food, social and ceremonial purposes has been underway since late July, with 70,000 sockeye caught as of Aug. 1. Aboriginal groups will also get to fish commercially for sale under

The Progress, Aug. 6, 1914

Chilliwack goes to war WAR from Front recruited and the nuclei of the two additional companies secured. It is pointed out that the machinery is in the hands of the regiment itself, and all that is required will be the promotion of present lieutenancies and the organization of the companies,

and it is the belief of the officers that New Westminster will support a full regiment and that at this time there will be no difficulty in securing the necessary recruits. Major Coote, in command of the Chilliwack detachment, and officers are recruiting the two local companies to full strength.

Eagerly Await War Bulletins In common with all parts of the British Empire, Chilliwack has been stirred up by the excitement created by the decidedly war-like situation in Europe, and all the bulletins and despatches are eagerly looked for. Much interest and activity prevails among the officers and men of the two local companies forming the detachment of the 104th Regt., occasioned by the order for enlisting to full strength, and the possibility of a response to a call for aid should Great Britain become a participant in the conflict. Confirmation Received

P ARIS , A UG . 4 – Confirmation is received of the reports that Belgium has rejected Germany’s ultimatum which required the former country’s acquiesced as Germany’s friend in the passage of the Kaiser’s troops through its territory on the way to invade France. The King of Belgium was in per-

sonal command of the forces. His army is completely mobilized and consists of 350,000 men. The German ambassador, Von Schoen, received his passports and left for Berlin at midnight. German Vanguard in France

P ARIS , A UG . 4 – Skirmishing between

German and French troops occurred at Mars-Et-Tour. Fighting is also reported near Luxemburg. At Mars-Et-Tour the engagement was with the advance guard of the German army advancing on Paris from Metz. The vanguard has already crossed the frontier. It is opposed by a strong French force. Quebec Prepared

QUEBEC, AUG. 4 – Quebec City has been put under the charge of the military authorities, while Montreal, for the first time in its history, is tonight a closed port, armed men guard the elevators, filled to overflowing with some eight million bushels of wheat, which may be needed by Great Britain in its fight for existence. The mobilization plans of the Militia Department are practically complete. The minute war is declared the button will be pushed which will start the machinery moving. Every officer at the Militia Department is at his post tonight. Many of them are sleeping in the offices. Quebec has been selected as the centre of her mobilization. Already the permanent forces of the Royal Canadian Regiment and the Royal Canadian Artillery are gathered there with the exception of the regulars at

104 REGIMENT WESTMINSTER FUSILIERS OF CANADA DETACHMENT ORDERS By Major A. Leslie Coote, Commanding (Chilliwack, August 5th 1914) In view of the possibility of an early mobilization the following orders are promulgated: Each man will at once prepare his complete kit and have it ready for immediate mobilization. The following articles will be required in addition to uniform and belt: Great coat, shaving outfit, knife, fork, spoon, extra socks (heavy), extra shoelaces, handkerchiefs, change of underwear, extra shirt, towel, soap, comb, plate. Heavily soled black shoes should be worn. Upon receiving notice of mobilization each man will at once report at the drill hall with complete kit. Right half of E co. will report at Rosedale hotel where means of transportation to Chilliwack will be provided. Each man will carry rations for one meal in haversack. Those who have not turned their khaki shirts in to the Company Armouries will do so at once. A. Leslie Coote, Major.

PRICEBUSTERS

Returning sockeye could be impacted by mining spill The Progress A huge spill of mining waste that hit northern B.C. on Monday could impact the big return of sockeye heading up the Fraser River. Ernie Crey, a fisheries advisor for Sto:lo Tribal Council, and Cheam band councillor said he was fielding calls from Sto:lo fishers, environmental groups and conservationists alike. Reports of fish dying off near the spill have started to come in, he said. “That could be for a couple of reasons, either exposure to toxins from the spill, or the siltation, where the very fine grey silt ends up clogging the gills. The fish can’t breathe and they end up asphyxiating.” The central question is, what happens if or when the spilled material from the pond

reaches the Fraser? “They’re all very concerned about this disaster. They want to know how quickly it will get here and what can be done,” he said. “A spill from a mine tailings pond is a serious matter and the potential impact cannot be underestimated.” No one has any answers at the ready about the scale of this spill. A water-use ban is expected to grow to include residents of the Quesnel and Cariboo Rivers. The tailings pond of the Mount Polley mine is located southeast of Quesnel. The Cariboo Regional District issued the water-ban advisory for the town of Likely and for residents around Quesnel Lake, Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek and Cariboo Creek. The Quesnel River is linked to the Fraser River, but a water use ban has not been

imposed in communities along the Fraser at this point. “A spill like this would be a big concern at any time,” said Crey. “But it’s worrisome especially now because of so many sockeye coming up the Fraser. Some will be heading to points north of Quesnel.” The Fraser Panel

of the Pacific Salmon Commission will probably have this subject on their agenda to discuss in the coming week. “I have no doubt the scientists and advisors will be looking hard at the implications of this very shortly,” he said.

Uncertainty reigns SOCKEYE from Front “economic opportunity” agreements with DFO. The high uncertainty over this year’s run is because a huge number of sockeye returned four years ago. “Some of the levels of spawn we witnessed were considerably larger than anything we had

ever witnessed in the past,” he said. While that creates potential for a massive record run, veteran sockeye watchers know disappointment could be blamed on anything from predators in the open ocean to excessive competition for food among all those juvenile salmon.

R AESIDE

The First World War came quietly to Chilliwack. It didn’t yet have a number, nor even a name. But it would become the defining event of the 20th century, reshaping Europe, Africa and the Middle East, remaking governments and political institutions, and reinventing Canada as a nation. Few readers who opened their Aug. 6 edition of The Chilliwack Progress 100 years ago today would know that. They could not recognize the impact the coming conflagration would have on their lives, their country and the geo-political world in which they lived. There were no brash headlines. Just a simple column of type about recruitment – the last of six columns spaced across the front page. (The first? “Making Preparations For Annual Fair,” followed by “Municipal Council Eradicates Weeds.”) The report reflected the breathless excitement about the coming war that swept through Europe as mobilization began. It was born out of an unshakable confidence, and the belief the war would be brief and relatively bloodless. It wasn’t. More than 60,000 Canadians died – twice the number who would die two decades later in the second great conflict of the century. They were among the millions who would ultimately be consumed by a war unprecedented in scale and, until then, unmatched in mechanized brutality. Among the dead was a man with strong ties to The Chilliwack Progress – former editor Thomas Edward Caskey. He left the paper behind to command a unit overseas in 1915. But he didn’t leave it entirely. His letters were carried in the pages of The Progress, giving readers at home a rare glimpse of events in Europe. And they were rare. With no Internet, no television, not even radio, there was only the newspaper and the brief dispatches it carried, coupled with personal accounts from people like Major Caskey. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, The Chilliwack Progress will be carrying excerpts from those reports in the weeks and months ahead, including the letters from Caskey. We’ll also have news about how readers today can access those pages from the past and read them themselves. George Santayana famously wrote, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Let’s choose to remember. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

B.C. V IEWS

Summertime and drinking is easy VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s move to ease liquor restrictions is undergoing its hot summer test, and music festivals are only part of it. Premier Christy Clark’s government loves its populist gestures, and as with increasing rural highway speed limits, the negative effects have yet to be quantified. Free-range drinking, or removing fences from festival beer gardens, is one of the moves that will be undergoing a post-mortem as communities clean up after their big summer parties. One of the biggest, the Squamish Valley Music Festival with headline acts Arcade Fire, Bruno Mars and Eminem, is still to come, Aug. 8 to 10. Country fans gathered over the long weekend for Sunfest in the Cowichan Valley, with the Rockin’ River Musicfest in Mission coming up

next. (Another big bash next weekend is Shambhala, the popular electronic music event on a farm near Nelson, but alcohol is officially banned there and their big issue is controlling the effects of “ecstasy” and other rave drugs.) Early reviews of Tom free-range festivals FLETCHER have been positive. Victoria’s Rock the Shores event went smoothly without a fenced-in area for alcohol sales. Festival organizers did create a fenced “dry” area, but I’m told hardly anyone used it. Penticton has had its share of experience with summer bashes gone bad. For B.C. Day it inherited the Boonstock Music and

Arts festival, sent packing from a small community in Alberta after complaints of rowdy crowds and crime, so Penticton officials were understandably cautious. Boonstock organizers were refused a provincial liquor licence after struggling to arrange security and emergency services. The festival licence process is likely getting renewed attention these days. After attending the recent Calgary Folk Festival, where the beer garden was securely fenced and the capacity monitored, I’m wondering what is really achieved by these measures. Litter and empties were contained, but since under-aged festival visitors are allowed into the serving area, it’s not clear to me whether the fence was ever worth the effort. It’s unlikely that there will be riots at farm markets as a result

of allowing sales of locally made beer, wine and spirits, or from relaxing rules for operation of winery tasting rooms. But there are more reforms to come. New regulations are on the way for the Agricultural Land Reserve. As it stands, farms are allowed to have a winery or cidery, but not a brewery or distillery. Expect that to be changed as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry. One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow “happy hour” discounts in pubs. The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce

for hard liquor was an effort to balance business-friendly policy with legitimate public health concern about over-consumption. But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this, and the government over-reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an ill-thought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only. The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of kneejerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug himself.

Did you move into the area recently?

Science and the world around us formulate an accurate theory on life’s origins because nobody was there at the beginning of life is absurd. Does a crime not happen because nobody was there to see it? As we know, evolution has happened over millions of years, it is a slow process but yes we do see the process happening in species even today, including us. As for the references of “missing links” those are actually transitional fossils and the amount of those found year after year just keeps climbing. Unfortunately some people are offended by evolutionary

science because they believe it contradicts their chosen faith. It does, the same way as when people thought that the sun revolved around the Earth or that the firmament was flat. Some attribute the evolutionary process to a deity, some don’t, but to make statements about the topic and scientific method you should be educated on the subject matter. Science has made many wonderful discoveries throughout history, and if facts offend your chosen belief system, then it may be time to question some of those beliefs. Kent Roberts

We can’t live in the past Re: “It Takes Faith to Believe Evolution”, Aug. 1. Yes, Mr. Goosen, it takes faith to believe in anything, but most mainstream branches of the Christian religion have accepted evolution as fact, and the same goes for a number of other phenomena for which modern science has developed evidence- and logic-based explanations (i.e., scientific theories which are, of course,

works in progress). Mr. Goosen, have you done any real research on this, or are you relying only on the explanations of the “experts” in your religion? If you have access to the Internet, do searches for “current evolution research” and/ or “current evolution evidence”, and you will find a great deal more backup evidence for evolution than for creation (i.e., less faith required).

I have found that those who refuse to even acknowledge the possibility of evolution of living things or the great age of the universe (as opposed to their sudden creation) have great difficulty wrapping their heads around the concepts of mathematical probability and immense passages of time, which are at the root of the theory of evolution (among others). I don’t have that difficulty, nor do most

intelligent adherents of most branches of mainstream Christianity. We should not live in the past and base our thinking only on a few very old books, written at a time when ignorance about the natural world was rampant (although these books do have a place). Without science, we will stagnate. That is not the purpose or destiny of being human.

Re: Science Lesson, Progress July 25. I must address the comments by J. Goosen regarding Alex’s letter. Most of the comments made were at best intellectually dishonest and showed ignorance to the scientific method and the topic of evolution. First let me state, in mainstream scientific circles evolution is scientific fact. I could not even begin to list the modern medical research that would not be possible without our understanding of the evolutionary process. The idea that science cannot use the mountain of evidence to

Minter Gardens

Slow down

Re: The Future of Minter Gardens. I like the possibility that the University of Fraser Valley will get involved with Minter Gardens. Several faculties could each have responsibility for a section of the gardens. For one department alone it might be too much, although not impossible. Each could have a theme and place interns and workshops there. I was privileged to join a tour of the very large and varied Devonian Gardens when I attended an alumni weekend at the University of Alberta. I was impressed with the variety of ways that that university is involved. It was thrilling. I am against using the area for new condos. What a ridiculous waste of the heritage Brian Minter has provided through his many years of skilled dedication.

I live just off of Promontory Road and tonight I heard a massive crunch and as I looked down the street to the corner I could see the traffic slowing and a few minutes later the sound of sirens. I walked to the corner and looked up the hill to see a nasty crash involving two vehicles. I drive up and down Promontory every day and most days several times. Ninety-nine per cent of the time I see people speeding in excess, up and down the hill. There are a few blind corners, various driveways etc., which make Promontory Road perhaps not the best place to test your race car driving skills. I’m not sure of the outcome of tonight’s crash, only that hours later traffic was still detouring past my home. I don’t mind the traffic, but the reason for it is inexcusable. Cars have brakes and even better gears (even automatic transmissions) gear down and brake and slow down. We all have somewhere to go and people we care about waiting on us. I don’t know about you but I want to get there in one piece. Slow down on Promontory or someone will make you and it may be quite sudden.

Emergency crews had to use the Jaws of Life to remove this driver from her car after she was hit head on by an SUV, and rear-ended by a pickup truck Sunday evening on Promontory Road. ERIC WELSH/ PROGRESS

Alcohol blamed for crash on Promontory Alcohol appears to have been a factor in a threevehicle car crash on Promontory Road Sunday night. Around 6:40 p.m. a silver Hyundai Santa Fe SUV came flying up the hill. As the female driver steered her vehicle around the bend by Uplands Road, she crossed over the center line and hit a blue Pontiac G5 head on. A blue Dodge Dakota truck couldn’t stop in time, hitting the back of the car.

Emergency crews raced to the scene and took nearly an hour to get the driver out of the car, using the Jaws of Life to remove the driver’s side door. She was taken to Chilliwack General Hospital, and there is no update on her condition. The driver of the SUV was also taken to CGH, then to the local police detachment. She faces charges related to impaired driving. The driver and passenger in the Dodge truck were treated at the scene.

News Teacher talks to resume Aug. 8 Tom Fletcher Black Press Negotiators for school districts and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation are getting together Aug. 8 to seek a settlement in their long-running dispute before school starts up in September. A brief statement from the BCTF announced the resumption of talks Friday afternoon, a day after the B.C. government announced a contingency plan to pay strike savings to parents of younger students if the strike keeps schools shut in September. The government saves an estimated $12 million a day when teachers go without paycheques, enough to pay parents $40 per missed school day for each child under 13 in public school. Recreation centres are preparing to extend summer camp and activity programs into the fall. Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced the contingency plan Thursday after several weeks without movement in the long-running dispute that shut schools for the last two weeks of June. Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said the union’s demands are far beyond settlements with other public sector unions, particularly on benefit improvements. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association estimates the union’s benefit demands alone represent an additional $225 million a year. Those include increases to preparation time, pregnancy and parental leave, extended health and dental and substitute teacher compensation.

ARE YOU READY TO GET AGRI-CULTURED? The 2014 Chilliwack Fair is almost here! Chilliwack Fair 2014 runs August 8-10 at Chilliwack Heritage Park. There’s a little something for everyone, from roller derby demos and the rodeo, to baby animals. Rodeo action will kick off in the Grandstand at 6:30 p.m. Friday night, then again at 6 p.m. Saturday, and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. Canadian rockers Trooper will headline on the 89.5 The Drive Stage on Friday night, Aug. 8, with special guests Me and Mae, a five-piece country band from Langley. For the first time ever, an outdoor movie will be shown at the Fair on Saturday, Aug 9. Bring a chair or blanket to watch a classic movie under the stars on a jumbo screen. The outdoor movie was voted on by the public, and the choice was Grease, as announced by the Fair on Friday on their Facebook page.

The Chilliwack Fair is always “a blue ribbon affair.”

“The outdoor movie is something a little different,” said Fair coordinator Nicole Hill. “The Friday night concert is going to be quite big. We decided to try something new on the next night.” This year organizers are celebrating 142 years of proud traditions. There’s also lawnmower racing, antique tractor pull and freestyle skateboard, as well as magic shows, interactive games and food vendors.

Here are some action-packed ideas for kids of all ages at the Chilliwack Fair 2014, Aug. 8-10 at the Chilliwack Heritage Park.

pieces for some LEGO based fun. Lots of folks are fascinated by creepy crawlers right? Spiders, reptiles and amphibians are all in Mike the Reptile Guy’s bag of tricks. Sometimes he brings some rescued creatures. He really knows his stuff and enjoys answering questions about all of his animals. Learn cool stuff about the animals he loves and even hold them if you’re so inclined. Look for local talent Bonnie Kilroe performing as Cher in The Country Queens and The Divas Show on the Chances Chilliwack Community Stage! Get ready to watch some boarders showing off some freestyle skateboarding skills in the Spectra Energy Zone. The World Freestyle Round Up Skateboarding Team will be thrilling crowds with daily shows throughout the weekend. The Magic of Gary Savard is sure to amaze fair-goers with daily shows followed by some magic lessons. Some kids just love doing arts and crafts. Why not take them to the Creation Station? That’s where kids can get creative and take home their unique artworks as souvenirs from a fantastic day at the fair.

So much excitement. What will you do first?

During the day, drop by the LEGO station where LEGO professional, Robin Sather will be constructing a fabulous farm-themed display. Two areas will be set aside for the activities, and Robin will also be bringing thousands of the

Is there a dental device that can be used to prevent snoring? Â ANSWER:Â Snoring and sleep apnea (a condition that involves periods during which a person stops breathing while asleep) afflicts many people. A large portion of people with sleep apnea are not even aware that they have it. The most common cause of both involves the throat becoming closed off by the tongue as the body relaxes during sleep. Snoring often causes poor rest for the personâ€™s partner, and apnea can be a life threatening condition.

Fire at Eutsuk Lake in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park consumes forest interspersed with beetlekilled pine trees. LAURA BLACKWELL/ BLACK PRESS

The first step in evaluating a person for either condition is to have a sleep study done. This is undertaken by a medical doctor with training in sleep medicine. A sleep study allows the doctor to evaluate how severe the sleep apnea is by noting the number of times that he or she stops breathing as well as the level of blood oxygenation. To treat sleep apnea, the gold standard and best treatment is called a CPAP machine. This is a device that helps to push air in during breathing to help maintain the personâ€™s airway and, therefore, oxygen supply. This device is prescribed and fitted by a medical doctor.

Forest fire bills piling up Tom Fletcher Black Press

Some people are not able to tolerate a CPAP machine. For these individuals and those with very mild apnea or simple snoring, a dental appliance can be a great alternative. This plastic device fits inside the mouth and gently guides the lower jaw into a more forward position. In this position apnea and snoring generally improve as the tongue is also pulled forward. Many dentists are trained to provide this service. If you or a loved one snore or may have sleep apnea, please talk to your medical doctor or your dentist to get further information.

VICTORIA â€“ The B.C. government is spending $3.5 million a day to fight forest fires around the province, with the total for the year past $106 million and headed higher. The government is bracing for bills that could reach $250 million by the end of the summer, depending on weather and the number of fires that threaten homes. B.C. has brought in firefighters from Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick, and issued several evacuation orders by the mid-point of the summer season. Finance Minister Mike de Jong asked for B.C. residents to take all possible precautions and observe campfire bans through August. About 40 per cent of B.C. forest fires are human caused, with most of the rest started by lightning strikes. Forest fire spending is already approaching totals for the last two years. Highs in the past decade are $382 million in 2009 and $371 million in 2003, when fires damaged Kelowna and Barriere. â€œThe possibility of the fire season consuming a quarter billion tax dollars is real,â€? de Jong said. â€œWhilst there is no issue about spending the money, it has to come from somewhere, so thatâ€™s a cost item thatâ€™s looking like it will be considerably more than what had been hoped for.â€?

Explosive art about water under threat

Free outdoor music near the Vedder Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s a brand-new live music idea for the south side of Chilliwack that Jeff Bonner of Tractorgrease Studios has wanted to make happen for a while now. Imagine a rocking summer concert series that lets Chilliwack music fans chill by the beautiful Vedder River listening to tunes. “It’s turning out to be a great lineup of concerts,” says Bonner. “The best part is that it will feature lots of local talent.” The Southside Rocks on the River stage will be set up in a field near the Vedder Rotary Trail parking lot. Enter the parking lot from Vedder Road, and the concert set up will be located just to the right of it. Anyone can stroll down the Vedder trail or walk from Garrison Crossing to get to it. It’s going to be held over three Thursday

FRIENDLY

nights in August, starting next week. “Some say nothing exciting ever happens on the south side of town. Well we want to show that it can rock, even more than the north side!” What’s “really cool” is that several of the artists who were involved early with the hugely popular Party in the Park phenomenon, like Lori Paul of Spiderlodge, who was “instrumental and the driving force” at the outset of Party in the Park downtown, will also be performing at this event. So how’s the first night shaping up? He’s got singer-songwriter Matt Lowen set to take the stage, blues artist Gerald Charlie, Dear Father, Full Tilt, Mike Alleckna, and MaggPie will all be on the roster for Aug. 14. Southside Rocks on the River, a free outdoor music series on the grass, just north of the Vedder Trail, on Aug. 14, Aug. 21, and Aug. 28. Start time is 6 p.m. and music will run until

The next major show in the gallery inside the Cultural Centre is timely and titled H2O Under Attack, by artist Diane White. The exhibit, which opened Saturday, has transformed the Chilliwack Visual Artists Art Gallery into a protest camp, taking artist aim at environmental threats like the Enbridge Pipeline project. White’s politically energized paintings, with stunning landscapes of B.C., offset by yellow ribbons of stenciled environmental messages of concern, command the gallery space. Water, everyone’s most precious natural resource, is the central focus of her paintings. The large canvasses honour water in several forms: luxuriant, pulsating forests, towering cloud formations and multi-layered mountainscapes. The colour and natural forms jump off the canvas. The signature painting, H2O Under Attack is large ( 12’ X 4’7”), and complex in nature. Pipelines, tar sands, oil spills, and natural landscape flood the picture frame. The painting is the result of a trip taken by the artist to Gwaai Haanas and her experience visiting and breathing in the quiet solitude of that wonderful landscape. Stencilled explosive statements against the proposed Enbridge Pipeline complete the artist’s statement: We all live downriver. The Chilliwack Visual Artists Art Gallery is located at 9201 Corbould Street. White’s show runs from August 2 to September 13, See more at vanishinglandscapes.com dianewhite@ uniserve.com.

ROTARY WHEELCHAIRS THE GIFT OF MOBILITY

Back in 2001, in the spirit of the Rotary motto â€œService Above Selfâ€?, Canadaâ€™s Rotarians were instrumental in establishing the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation. Since then, using bulk containers for shipping, and with the help of in-country distribution partners (often fellow Rotarians), the Global Wheelchair Program Network has been able to deliver more than 895,000 wheelchairs worldwide. These special wheelchairs are designed and built to be highly durable and are especially suitable for use in developing countries. We know that a wheelchair can profoundly improve lives (many lives) when delivered to a needy person â€“ together, weâ€™ve changed hundreds of thousands of lives with the gift F. â€œFredâ€? Hails of mobility. Rotarian since 1973 Recently, fellow Rotarian F.â€?Fredâ€? Hails was recognized by The Rotary Club of Chilliwack for his outstanding dedication to this project. Originally inspired by our Clubâ€™s commitment to this International Service project, Fred is now maintaining a personal goal to provide the foundation with 100 of these special wheelchairs each year. Fred invites our readers to consider joining this project by making a donation of $150 (tax deductible) to provide a brand new wheelchair to a needy person somewhere in the world, and he offers his assistance to any who would say â€œyesâ€?. You can reach Fred by telephone at Dickens Sweets & British Museum (604-793-1981), or at his home (604-792-4374), or at his email address fhails@shaw.ca. Fred would also like our readers to know that: â€œIf you think that Rotary sounds good to youâ€Ś if you feel that you might like to join us in â€œService Above Selfâ€œ projects, please consider that weâ€™re always looking for like-minded, enthusiastic new membersâ€?. To learn more about what we do, please look through our website www.chilliwackrotaryclub. ca,or email us at rotaryclubofchilliwack@gmail.com , or talk to any of our members (look for their Rotary lapel pin).

AS SEEN ON ARKETPLA CE Câ€™S M Thanks Bruce

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldnâ€™t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didnâ€™t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldnâ€™t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. Iâ€™m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value. Sincerely, Amy Gill

The Chilliwack

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Trial by fire for new Chilliwack Chiefs voice Eric J. Welsh, The Progress What Kraig Krause is about to do should scare him. In less than a month he’ll sit behind a microphone and call his first live Chilliwack Chiefs game, with no prior experience. Never before has the 20 year old done hockey play by play, which makes this a true trial-by-fire, sink-orswim adventure. He should be scared. But he’s not. “In a way I am, but I’m also confident in myself,” he said with a grin. “More than anything I’m ecstatic about the opportunity to immerse myself in the team and the game and the whole Chiefs culture.” The Yale secondar y school grad will handle the

Chiefs on-line broadcasts, plus the Shaw TV broadcasts produced by VBN Sports. His live in-game reports will air on 89.5 The Drive. As part of his preparation, he’s watching a documentary on Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick, the legendary announcer who calls games for NBC and Versus. “The biggest thing I’ve picked up watching him work is the vocabulary,” Krause said. “For example, having different words for dump-in. It’s a word that’s used a lot, so being able to say ‘throw it in’ or something else, having a large vocabulary will make the broadcast better.” Snap quiz, says the sports writer. How many words can you come up with for ‘shot?’ “Strike... fired... it’s a work in progress,” Krause laughed. “Beamed! That’s

pretty much it.” No one could blame Krause if he tried to imitate Emrick. But he promises he’s going to do the job ‘his way.’ “I don’t want to try to copy someone else and come across as an impersonator,” he noted. “I think I have my own flavour and my own unique way of doing things. It’s going to be Kraig Krause, not Jim Hughson or Don Taylor.” One resource he can tap into is Rogers Sportsnet baseball broadcaster Jamie Campbell. Krause met the former Toronto Blue Jays play by play man while working for the Vancouver Canadians baseball team. “I was in high school at the time, with peach fuzz on my face, telling him I wanted to get into broadcasting,” Krause said. “He told

me it’s a tough, tough business. You’re always going to have criticism, ups and downs. But told me that if I have passion for what I do, it won’t seem like a job.” Krause acknowledges there’ll be bumps in the road and he knows he’ll be criticized, though he’ll try to make things as smooth as possible. He’s got an excellent mentor to lean on in Chiefs marketing director Barry Douglas. A long-time radio man himself, Douglas can pass along tricks of the trade. “He’s definitely the sensei,” Krause said. “I can pick up the phone or walk into his office and ask him any question, and he’s so positive. I’ve never seen him in a bad mood. It’s great to have a leader and a boss like that.” The Chilliwack kid spent

the last year in Ontario. York University in Toronto, specifically, where he was studying communications. He’s since transferred to the University of the Fraser Valley, happy to be close to home. “It’s exciting to be back in the city I was born in and grew up in,” Krause said. “To be back in this building where I have so many great memories, I just want it to start.” Krause sat in the stands Monday morning watching ice crews put the faceoff circles down for the coming season. Players will start filtering into town soon for the start of training camp. Krause is in an interesting position where he’ll be in the same age range as the players he covers. “I want to be really personable and get to know

what they do off the ice,” he said. “I’m excited to talk to these guys, find out what they want to accomplish while they’re here and see how their lives are going to change.” Krause will get his first live call when the preseason starts, and he’s imagined what the final 60 seconds before going live might feel like. He can’t wait. “My stomach will be in knots, I won’t lie, but I’m so excited,” he said. “I might even get a tear in my eye. You never know.” Chilliwack’s preseason slate starts September 5 with a home game versus Surrey. The team’s ‘1999 Camp’ runs Aug. 30-31 at Prospera Centre with main training camp starting soon after. See chilliwackchiefs.net for more.

Broncos bust Huskers The Valley Huskers fell to 0-2 on the season with a 49-33 loss to the Kamloops Broncos Saturday night. The game was played in Chilliwack, with the Bronco ground game chewing up the artificial turf at Exhibition Stadium. Two Kamloops players went over 100 yards rushing. Jacob Palmarin hitt 111 yards on 11 carries. Aaron Morran added 116 yards on 15 carries. Together, they combined forr three touchdowns. The other Huskerr killer was wideout Derek Yachison. The BCFC all-star averaged 18.25 yards per catch, hauling in eight balls for 146 yards. Rudy Uhl had an extremely efficient catch-to-touchdown ratio, nabbing four balls for three majors. The Husker offence generated four TDs, two on the ground and two through the air. Quarterback Dylan La

Prairie hooked up with Tyron Ledingham and Blake Draper on touchdown tosses. Ledingham, a rookie receiver, had a monster day. The towering pass-catcher grabbed eight balls for 184 yards. La Prairie completed 17 of 38 passes for 340 yards, but got little help from the running game. Collectively, Husker rushers generated 57 yyards on 17 carries (3.35 average). Benedict Muhima was the leader, with w 23 yards on eight carries. He had a touchdown, as did RJ Begg. Place kicker Dan Erickson nailed field goals of 15 and 26 yards. Defensively, the Huskers got interceptions from Hayden Jeffery and Ali Sharif. Josh Giroux had a quarterback sack. The Huskers host their third straight home game Saturday, welcoming Victoria’s Westshore Rebels. Early afternoon kickoff is 1 p.m. at Exhibition Stadium.

Collectively, Clay and Canadian athletes collected 34 medals to finish third behind England (first) and Australia (second).

OBITUARIES

Colleen MacGregor of Chilliwack, BC, passed away suddenly in Abbotsford. She was born in Merritt, BC. Colleen was the oldest of two children born to Stephen D. Cooper and Beulah Allen. She was predeceased by her sisters, Betty Hiebert in 2002, and Winnifred Firkus in 2011. Colleen will be remembered as a gracious, kind and caring lady. She grew up in Burnaby and went to Burnaby South High School. Her grandparents Sam and Emma Allen used to own the florist shop across from Ocean View Cemetery. Her mother Beulah McLaughlin had a florist shop on Nelson Avenue. In her younger years Colleen worked for Hammond Furniture, Lamplighter Pub and Red Barn Pub. Colleen hated to stay at home during the winter months and loved motorhoming so she and Leo spent over 30 years traveling around Mexico, United States and across Canada. She will be dearly missed by her husband Leo, brother Stephen Cooper; son Brian Gibson (Cathy); daughter Charleen Kirkby (Lynden); stepson Andy MacGregor (Laurence) and stepdaughter Wendy Rykiss; 11 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and all her many friends and family. Respecting her wishes of no service, the family will have a private gathering.
