Matt Pace of Lang’s Fishing Adventures hauls in a Sockeye salmon for a client Friday afternoon on the Fraser River.

Calming troubled waters BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

Nobody wants a repeat of last year’s shooting

odney Chapman stood on Pegleg Bar, a vehicleaccessible gravel bar just north of Chilliwack, and surveyed the dozen or so fishermen casting into the river for sockeye salmon. Last year, just upriver from this spot, a sportfisherman shot Chehalis Indian Band chief Willie Charlie with a pellet gun. At the time, anglers stood shoulder to shoulder casting into the

Fraser. Some had driven their vehicles through the weak and shallow channel that cuts off much of the bar from the mainland. But on Friday, with the mid-afternoon sun shining down and nary a cloud in the sky, the bar was uncrowded. And that channel? It had become a deep and fast-moving braid of the Fraser that one would have to be brave and reckless to swim across, much less drive a vehicle through.

“This is where sometimes Mother Nature solves a problem,” said Chapman, the president of the British Columbia Federation of Drift Fishers. “If this stays with the water like this, what happened last year won’t happen this year.” The same can’t be said of elsewhere on the river, though; fishing along the Fraser is one of the province’s touchiest issues, encompassing economic, environmental,

societal and cultural issues, with a heavy-dose of resentment and distrust. It is a search of a resolution to those conflicts, or at least a means to reduce their scale, that brought Chapman and two dozen other sportsfishing and aboriginal leaders onto the Fraser River on Friday. The group boarded four boats

he hottest temperatures of the summer hit Chilliwack over the weekend, and Saturday came within .1 C of becoming the hottest August day in the city’s recorded weather history. For Lynn and Dave Lutz in Ryder Lake that heat has caused an unusual insurance claim after the vinyl siding on the west side of their house melted in the sun. “The part under the window is gapped way out, and all of it is all wavy,” said Lynn. The couple didn’t notice the damage until Sunday evening because they tend to avoid that side of their house on hot days. “The sun beats on the front of the house all day,” said Lynn, “so we’re usually in the backyard.” The city experienced recordbreaking temperatures for three consecutive days, according to Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. “For this time of the year it’s pretty significant,” he said, “because normally we start to cool down a little bit by the middle of August.” Friday’s 33.2 C was 8.8 C above normal and bumped a previous daily record set in 1992 at 32.9 C. Saturday, meanwhile, was the hottest August day to hit Chilliwack in 50 years. The near all-time high of 36.0 C was a whopping 12.3 C above normal and 2.2 C hotter than the previous record for that day set in 2008 at 33.8 C. See RECORDS, Page 6

Campfire ban still in effect The Chilliwack Fire Department is reminding campers that a campfire ban remains in effect in all of the Lower Mainland—and that campfires are always outlawed within the Chilliwack city boundaries. Assistant fire chief Ian Josephson said firefighters have responded to several reports of fires along the Chilliwack River east of the Vedder bridge. The campfires are illegal, even when started along a river bed. Those who start them within the city of Chilliwack are in double trouble, as a bylaw prohibits campfires throughout the year. The hot weather has once again pushed the local forest fire danger to levels designated as “extreme” by provincial fire authorities.

2002 Langbroek calls it quits

Chilliwack city councillors paid tribute to one of their own at a Monday night meeting as Casey Langbroek announced he wouldn’t seek re-election after 16 years on council. Mayor Clint Hames cited Langbroek’s hard work on projects such as Townsend Park, the Rotary Vedder River Trail, Great Blue Heron Reserve, CEPCO, the Leisure Centre and leadership on health issues among his many contributions.

Yarrow Alliance Church Pastor Dwayne Toews and his son Brandon show 10-year-old Basilio Cortez how to install roofing material on his new home.

Earlier this month, 26 Yarrow Alliance parishioners travelled to the area often referred to as the forgotten lands to build the family of nine a new home and outfit it with common necessities. Yarrow church pastor Dwayne Toews who went with his 13-yearold son Brandon, said the Chilliwack group’s annual mission helps a family get farther ahead than they ever would on their own. “These families are often indigenous people who have typically moved to this area from places like Oaxaca, Mexico and even as far away

Stoney Creek Expeditions, owned by Chilliwack residents Rob and Brenda Wall, organized the trip, house package and helped choose the Cortez family to be the recipient of the Yarrow group’s house. The Wall’s also operate a charity called One Life One Chance which does much of the ground work with churches in the valley to find the families most in need.

Wanting to make a difference in their lives

Building bonds FISHING, from page 1 at Mission and headed upriver to survey the state of the sport fishery, learn about catch monitoring, distribute pamphlets promoting proper river manners, and hopefully, pre-empt the resumption of last year’s troubles. Dave Barrett, the president of the Fraser River Salmon Table Society, hopes the trip shows native and sport fishers—and also the Department of Fisheries and Oceans—that the Fraser’s various stakeholders are working together and building bonds. “It’s part of a process,” said Barrett. “How long the process is going to take, God only knows, but if you don’t start, you’re never going to get anywhere.” And progress is being made: Barrett said the Salmon Table has already resolved three conflicts this year. The bigger goal, though, is to prevent those problems in the first place. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans allocates a set number of fish to be harvested each year by sportsfishers and by First Nations. But more than one person on the trip remarked that each side believes the other is harvesting more than their quota. So, building trust between the groups, so their leaders can talk about such touchy issues, is of paramount importance. “It’s working collaboratively and also strategically,” said British Columbia Wildlife Federation executive director Patti MacAhonic. “If we don’t work together now, there will be no fishery.” Midway through the tour, the four boats stopped at Grassy Bar, a boat-accessible gravel bar spitting distance from Chilliwack Mountain. There, with the help of several fishermen, scientists are studying the death rate of caught-and-released salmon. The words of one of those fishermen, Jim Helsdon,

embody the attitude that the Salmon Table hopes to foster: “People have finally decided that butting heads is not the way to go because it just causes more problems.” Helsdon, though, is also the secretary of the Lower Mainland branch of the BCWF. For the Salmon Table to be a success, its message will have to reach more casual fishermen. Those are the fishermen who scare First Nations fishers like Bill Rabang, a counsellor with the Skway, whose traditional fishing grounds overlap Grassy Bar. “In the past we’ve had a lot of problems,” said Rabang of the times when Skway fishermen have drifted past gravel bars popular with sportfishers. Drift nets and bottombouncing casters simply do not co-exist well, especially when there is mutual distrust between the parties. “I would like to drift, but I don’t because of this,” he said, pointing towards the Grassy Bar shore, where several boats were moored. Rabang sees an easy solution: allowing the First Nations drift fishers to fish at night. “That would alleviate the problem,” he said. “It would make things so much easier.” However, the DFO bans the practice because of both safety concerns and trouble monitoring night-time fishing. The only solution, then, is to share the river and build the bonds and trust that can stop a small problem from becoming a large incident. That, at least is the hope of Ernie Crey, and other members of the Fraser River Salmon Table. As Crey, who is also fisheries advisor to the Sto:lo Tribal Council, stepped off the boat onto the dock at Mission Harbour, he reflected on the past five hours on the river. “I think it went well,” he said, “but things like this can never be a one-off. We have to keep working at it.”

to change the life of someone down there, but it changes ours as well. We get to share the love of Jesus with someone else and it has really opened our eyes to how three-quarters of the world lives,” Block said. “Part of our reason for wanting to bring the kids is we hope it will

touch their hearts and they will decide to do some missions work on their own. As far as what it means for the people we are helping—obviously the family gets a new house, but with their culture a lot of men put down their wives and children. For her (Mrs. Cortez) to see us all

working in unity, having a good time working together, it is good for her and gives her a different perspective. The love that is shown to her and her kids through play and teaching them how to work with us provides a big confidence and a spiritual boost,” he added. ◗ For more information visit www. onelifeonechance.ca.

Mountain pollution?

Touching tribute for family, but not everyone a fan of summit plaques

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

bout four years ago, Norm Epp and his son Derek climbed to the top of Mt. Cheam. In Norm’s backpack was an engraved 3.5-lb., cast-bronze disk about five inches across and half an inch thick, along with a “secret recipe” for making cement. The two men had come to the summit to remember a son and a brother. L e s s t h a n a ye a r earlier, the whole Epp family had waited for two excruciating days before finding out 22-yearold Danny—their middle son, who went missing after snowboarding out of bounds at Cypress Mountain—was dead. “I think until you’ve lost a child, you can’t understand,” said mother Fran Epp in a recent Times interview. The plaque and the hike up Mt. Cheam were part of a project the idea for which came

to Norm about a month after Danny’s death. “It was born out of the fear that I would forget unless I did something to remember,” he said. “When you lose somebody you love very suddenly, the fear is you’ll forget them. We stop now—four years later—and look back and laugh at the thought that we had a fear that we might forget Danny.” But in 2006, still stunned with grief, Norm grabbed on to the idea of climbing 22 mountains—one for each of his fun-loving, blueeyed son’s 22 years. Cheam was the first, but over the last four years, the Epps—an Abbotsford family—and some close friends have hiked to the top of at least 10 other B.C. peaks, affixing commemorative medallions near the summits of each. So far, the project has been a private family affair with occasional close friends joining whichever family members are making the ascent. “With each one of them, you take time to remember him and to talk about him,” said Norm. “It always ends up being a celebration of his life.” But the memorials the Epps leave behind haven’t gone unnoticed. Many hikers were only curious when the markers first started popping up on B.C. summits in 2006. Now some are angry at See PLAQUE, Page 6

ollowing the success of the online public vote which saw Chilliwack appear on the board of the first edition of Monopoly Canada, Tourism Chilliwack has announced that the city is in the running for another national competition, this time to become Canada’s ‘Ultimate Fishing Town.’ Top prize is $25,000 and a 30-minute TV program to be made about the winning destination. The World Fishing Network (WFN) is running an online public

vote from Aug. 17 until Sept. 1. Top scoring destinations will then be entered into a final round of voting which starts a week later. “Having made sure that Chilliwack was nominated to be in the running, our next priority is to see if we can get Chilliwack into the Top 10 and that final round of voting,” said Brian Coombes, executive director of Tourism Chilliwack. “Sport fishing is a significant contributor to B.C.’s economy, generating over $480 million in

revenue spent on equipment, travel and accommodation and related supplies, according to a 2005 study by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. “Whether it’s our world-famous Pacific salmon runs, steelhead fishing on the Vedder River, fishing for trout in a crystal clear mountain lake or the opportunity to catch and release a mighty Fraser River sturgeon, we believe Chilliwack offers anglers who visit here repeatedly from all over the world,

a unique and diverse fishing experience set amongst our spectacular scenery,” said Coombes. At the end of 2009, with the support of Tourism British Columbia and the Vancouver Coast and Mountains marketing organization, Tourism Chilliwack launched “Fish Chilliwack,” a sport fishing co-operative marketing program. This includes www.fishchilliwack. com, a comprehensive sport fishing web portal for Chilliwack. Used to promote Chilliwack as

Why your keyboard looks weird

learned to type on an old Macintosh, using one of those programs that commands you to type increasingly complex sentences at higher and higher speeds. An animated lobster followed my cursor, and if it caught up as I misspelled words or slapped my fingers into the wrong keys, the cursed crustacean would erase the whole paragraph and force me to start over again. During this, I asked the same question asked by most new typists: why does it say QWERTY at the top of my keyboard? The short answer is a phenomenon called technological lock-in. When the typewriter was first invented, by newspaper editor Christopher Sholes in the 1860s, the typebars that held letters next to one another could clash if the machine was typed too quickly. To reduce jams, Sholes put letters often used together farther apart, hence the reason the vowels are scattered across the keyboard. For the early, crude typewriters, this was a purely practical development. But for modern computer keyboards, or even for the electric typewriters that preceded them, it was meaningless. The reason QWERTY has retained its dominance is that no one has the energy to teach generations of typists to use a dif-

MATTHEW CLAXTON

Be Our Guest ferent layout. Imagine the chaos if there were two or three competing keyboard layouts on the market, or if Macs and PCs used different letter layouts. (Now, that would cause some Mac vs. PC animosity.) QWERTY is here to stay. This kind of lock-in affects almost every aspect of our lives, from the largest level to the smallest trivialities, yet we almost never notice. In many case, it’s simply that the first product to market forces everyone else to follow along. At the small end of the scale, look at how words get locked-in. Kleenex is a brand name, but it’s synonymous with facial tissue. It’s the same with Band-Aid, or Hoover across the pond to refer to a vacuum cleaner. A bit higher up the scale, look at the early 1980s fight for dominance between VHS and Beta. The Betamax player has been the subject of so many jokes that many people assume it was a piece of junk. In fact, Beta was

better. It gave better picture quality than VHS. But it was also more expensive. It turned out that people didn’t really care if VHS was a little fuzzier, they liked having the extra cash. Beta died. On the macro level, consider the side of the road on which you drive. Every country on the planet has picked one or the other, with the origins sometimes obscure. Everything from papal decrees to the shape of carts are given as reasons. But when automobiles came along, it became essential to codify it. Nations exporting cars tended to force it on their dependencies: England made sure India drove on the left, while Germany forced right-side driving on its Eastern European conquests in the late 1930s. Whether the reasons are economic, practical, political, or cultural quirks, once a technology or system is locked-in, the costs of changing are usually too high to consider. Understanding lock-in gives us another way to view the world. It may not make it any less frustrating for me to find the X key when I’m typing, but at least I know why it’s there. ◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the Langley Advance.

he B.C. Chamber of Commerce and associations representing forestry and mining in B.C. may have thought they were doing Gordon Campbell’s Liberals a favour when they challenged Bill Vander Zalm’s anti-HST petition. With friends like that, who needs enemies. If there was no real appetite to recall Liberal MLAs before, there certainly will be now. Even those of us who did not agree with Vander Zalm’s anti-HST efforts now see that a serious house-cleaning is in order, both in Elections BC and in the Liberal government. Whether you agree with Vander Zalm or not, he managed to get 700,000 voters to sign a petition to scrap the HST. But in a decision that strains credulity, the chief electoral officer for Elections BC decided not act on the petition until the courts have ruled whether the question is legally binding. The argument is that the petition asks the provincial government to revoke a tax it is no longer responsible for, but is now the jurisdiction of Ottawa. That is a legal question that Elections BC should have worked out before it approved the petition. Holding up the petition like this now calls Elections BC’s political independence into question. The decision suggests there is either incompetence or political interference at work here. Whether you agree with the anti-HST campaign is irrelevant. After Vander Zalm’s campaign succeeded in meeting the petition targets, Elections BC should have done what we expect of it—forward the petition to the provincial government for a vote. If the businesses who launched the court action wanted to file an injunction, and if a judge decided to grant it, fine. But it is not for Elections BC to second-guess what the courts may or may not say. This decision adds fuel to a recall campaign, and maybe a little house-cleaning is in order. People who don’t get democracy have no business being in government.

Horse owners respect trail

Horses always welcome Editor: Re: Angele Pomerleau’s letter regarding “Horses don’t belong on trail.” Times Friday, Aug. 13. If you google “Chilliwack Rotary Trail” you will see

that horses are welcome on the trail. Some people do not have access to field riding, and roadsides are just too dangerous. You mentioned, we have rights as taxpayers.” Horse owners and riders are generally taxpayers too, with all the inherent rights as nonhorse people. Anita Lem Chilliwack

Vander Zalm deserves praise Editor: I would like to say something to our ex-premier Bill Vander Zalm. Way to go Mr. Vander Zalm. You have more energy than most people in this province. You remind me of the story of how David killed Goliath. All it took was one stone to take Goliath down. As you take on the HST that was implemented, or rather forced, on the people of British Columbia, you should know that you have a lot of people backing you up. We are the little stones that are there for you. Mr. Vander Zalm, I have never been more motivated than I am now as I watch the “government” bully and dictate to the people of British Columbia. We have programs and whistle blowing positions that we can contact when a person is bullied but what can we do about a “government” who bullies the British Columbian people? Mr. Gordon Campbell does not and will not listen to the people. At one time I was led to believe that the

government was working for us. Does anyone know or recall when this changed? Was it so subtle that no one noticed until it was almost too late? I say “almost” because I believe that the people will have enough one day and will take back their country. We trusted the government to look after us. We trusted the government to take care of our money, retirement, healthcare. One day, we will have the guts to pull together and take back our province and country. Everyone knows that Canadians are known as the “agonnas.” We are gonna go here. We are gonna do this. We are gonna do that. Well Mr. Vander Zalm, we see you put feet to your “a-gonnas.” I speak for myself but I am sure there are many who would agree with me that we are proud of what you are trying to do. You are my modern day David and I am routing for your taking Goliath down. H.Warner Chilliwack

cats. Chilliwack Animal Safe Haven (604-794-7233) helped me tremendously, seeing to neutering/ vaccinating/deworming/ defleaing and answering all sorts of questions. I have also fed numerous stray cats outdoors. I am not well off, however, when I consider witnessing: the slow starvation of all those unfortunate cats (who've been dumped); seeing them struggling to walk on three legs with bloody wounds; or seeing yet another very young pregnant cat; or a garbage bag full of still-living-with-eyes-stillclosed kittens, tossed out of someone's car window (for someone else's child to find and bring home to try and save). It is all so heartbreaking I feel I must help in some way. If you have been fortunate enough not to have witnesses any of this, lucky, lucky you. If you happen to agree to take a free kitten or cat or maybe two or, if you already own a cat, please get them neutered. There is help with the expense through the SPCA or Safe Haven. If you have a cat(s) you cannot keep dropping them on some country road, thinking one of the barns will give refuge to your unwanted one(s). Call the SPCA for help and if the Chilliwack (604823-6612) and Abbotsford (604-850-1584) facilities are full, call them back in a few days (try Tuesday) or try the Vancouver SPCA (604-8797721). If you make enough phone calls you will find the help you need. This is just the start of another "kitten explosion time of year." If you spot an unfamiliar cat in your neighbourhood please help it before it becomes five or six. Talk to your neighbours and if the cat belongs to no one— you take the time and you make the effort. My written words cannot relay all the heartache, anxious moments and costs I have personally incurred as a direct result of irresponsible people repeatedly dumping unwanted cats. D.

Editor: In response to A. Pomerleau’s letter “Horses don’t belong on trail,” Times, Aug. 13. Thank you for expressing your concern over the “horse and owners” and that equestrians “should not be allowed on public trails.” As a responsible horse owner, I am dismayed at your suggestions and lack of understanding that the option for riders to “walk in a field” simply does not exist. Personally, I tend to avoid heavy pedestrian paths at this time of year due to other issues such the off leash dogs, dog feces on the trail, and general overall crowding. What other individuals should we ban from our public areas? If I do take my horse onto a public trail, I am often greeted and stopped so that families and children can pet the horse which is often a highlight of their day. I do stop and remove any horse droppings to the side of the trail, and am respectful of the space my animal needs. We all have to share many public areas. I also ride on mountain trails,(often created by back country horsemen and shared by hikers) where I am frequently greeted by the dirt bikers and quaders who are wonderfully patient and polite while we pass. I could complain about the noise and danger from these motorized vehicles, but I also respect and understand that this is their passion and I too must share the outdoors with them. “Horse and owners” are also taxpayers in Chilliwack and they also “have their rights.” Kindly have some tolerance and understanding in return.

f only a football game lasted 15 minutes, the Chilliwack Huskers would have had their first win of the season. As it is, the Huskers are still looking for their first W after falling 26-3 to the Kamloops Broncos—Chilliwack’s second straight defeat to a team that had started the season 0-2. The Huskers held a 3-0 lead after the first quarter—the first time they’ve been ahead after 15 minutes this season—thanks to an 18-yard Jason Dumas field goal. But those points were the only ones Chilliwack could muster, as even the Husker passing game, which had been a highlight of the first three games, floundered. Quarterback Clayton Kroeker completed just 10 of 29 attempts and threw two interceptions. In relief of Kroeker, Cory Prince completed three of five throws for 51 yards. The ground game wasn’t much better, as five runners combined for just 55 yards. Add on 208 yards of penalties—more than double Kamloops’s total—and Chilliwack is still searching for a way to win. The only highlight was a Huskers defence that picked off five Kamloops throws—Chilliwack’s secondary caught almost half as many passes as did the Broncos’ receivers, who finished with 13 catches.

ARTHRITIS Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught #1 because of their bones/cartilage. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100 testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: ! Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA!I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON!Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping.

HUMPHREY, Nora Mary Nora Mary Humphrey passed away suddenly of a heart attack on August 4, 2010 at the age of 89 years while vacationing in Scotland. Nora was born in New Westminster, BC. She attended school in Cloverdale and graduated from St. Paul s Hospital as a Registered Nurse. Later she attended UBC and became a public health nurse. Over the years she worked for the Victorian Order of Nurses, the Public Health Department and a private nursing home. Nora and her husband Ken married in 1951 and lived in Surrey, Quesnel and Revelstoke before retiring to Chilliwack, BC. Their retirement was elled with visits to grandchildren and extended family, volunteer service, worldwide travel and hobbies including bridge, lawn bowls, and curling.

In 1950, Dave and Margery moved into town, to their home which Dave still lived in. Dave was an inventor and builder, many of his houses and buildings are lovingly housing families and business today. During, the mid 60 s, a logging accident sent him to hospital where the doctors feared he would never walk again. Once again he drew upon his determination, recovered and returned to work, continuing on until retirement in the 1990 s. Dave loved his family and friends. He loved to go camping, eshing and road trips with the family. The spring and summer couldn t come fast enough so he could get out the motor home and hit the road to go visiting. He did this until just 2 years ago when he hit the age of 84 years. He would often drive around town to stop in at various businesses and friends homes, just to say Hi and see how everyone was doing. Dave was predeceased by his loving wife of 59 years, Margery; his parents Alfred and Daisy; an infant brother; sister, Alice and her husband Bernard King and sister, Francis and husband Ray Austin. He is survived by his daughter and son-in- law, Penny and Randy Boldt, grandson, Craig Boldt; sister, Dorothy (John) McLeod, of Kelowna, sister in law and brother in law, Helen and Cecil Denham, of Chilliwack, sister in law, Mary Barr of Cut Knife, SK. and sister in law, Helen Carlton of Unity, SK. several nieces and nephews. We ll miss you Dad, but are very thankful for the great memories and wisdom that you ve left behind. A Funeral Service will be held at 1:30 pm on Friday, August 20, 2010 in the Chapel of Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave. Chilliwack, BC. Interment in Chilliwack Cemetery. In Dave s memory in lieu of dowers, please consider a donation to BC Children s Hospital Foundation, 938 West 28th Ave, Vancouver, BC V5Z 4H4. We invite you to visit Dave s memorial site at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca to leave messages of condolence for his family.
