Two men charged after gun pulled at nightclub Two men are facing multiple charges after allegedly pulling out guns in a Chilliwack night club. RCMP were called to the Echo Room in the 9200 block of Main Street just before 2 a.m. on May 22. Echo Room employees had asked the two men to leave the night club. At that point, police say one of the men pulled out a 9-millimetre handgun and pointed it at the employees. Both men eventually left the Echo Room, and were found by police a short time later. Fifty-three year old Edwin Ted Shipley had the gun on him when he was arrested, police say. He has been charged with pointing a firearm, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and willfully resisting and obstructing arrest. Twenty-seven year old Kevin Douthwright has been charged with carrying a concealed weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Both men are from Chilliwack. Shipley and Douthwright have since been released on court ordered conditions, and now await a future court appearance. “This incident reflects the value and success of the Chilliwack Bar Watch program,” said RCMP Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen. “This program seeks to exclude persons with affiliations to organized crime or a history of violence, in an effort to maintain the safety and security of patrons and the general public. Participating establishments have ‘Bar Watch’ signage posted to identify their participation. This program helps to ensure that individuals whose behaviour poses a risk to public safety do not bring that risk to these establishments and the innocent patrons present.”

Mini mobile clinic to serve Chilliwack addicted Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
A big blue bus is ready to roll through Chilliwack as a mobile clinic to serve the needs of street people in the downtown core. Called the Fraser Healthy Options Clinic, the modified passenger bus will be replacing the blue needle exchange van that used to operate weekday afternoons in the Empress Lane parking lot, run by Pacific Community Resources Society. While debate over harm reduction rages on in Abbotsford, Chilliwack has quietly supported its own needle exchange program for 20 years,
with firm backing from city officials, the BIA and business community. It also attracted broad-based support from the community, and has a solid record of keeping dirty needles off the streets. “In some years, the Chilliwack program collected more needles off the streets than it handed out,” said manager Kim Lloyd, adding that when any cleanup crew members find a syringe downtown, it gets returned right back to them. About 400 people are part of the HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C program in Chilliwack which includes IV drug users, the homeless, and sex trade workers.
Last year the needle exchange program logged about 2,500 visits, since many individuals would pick up supplies for multiple users in their households, said Lloyd. Some would come from communities like Agassiz or Boston Bar. The newly renovated bus with a colourful local landscape design on the side of it, promises to be an improvement over the old van. “Our clients used to have to stand outside no matter what the weather,” said program supervisor Sam Mohan. “Now they can come inside and sit down with us. We’ve got space for expanded outreach and education, testing and immuniza-
tions, and more supplies and free offerings like clothing and toiletries.” Staff finally made the transfer of program files and supplies from the van, to the mini mobile clinic on the bus last week. PCRS ran the HIV-Hep C program from downtown storefronts near Five Corners for more than a decade, before moving it to Southgate Mall, said Mohan. The needle exchange went mobile in 2006 and has been operating out of a Dodge van since 2009. “It was supposed to be temporary, for only two years,” said Mohan. “But it turned out to be more than four years.”

B.C. drunk driving rules saving lives, says study Criminal impaired charges plunged after new penalties Jeff Nagel Black Press
An independent study credits B.C.’s controversial drinking and driving laws for a 40 per cent drop in fatal crashes related to alcohol. Since September of 2010, police have handed out temporary driving bans and fines to many drivers caught with blood-alcohol levels over .05, including many who blow
over the criminal threshold of .08 who would previously have been prosecuted for impaired driving. The Centre for Addictions Research at the University of Victoria and UBC researchers studied crash statistics before and after the Immediate Roadside Prohibition program took effect and concluded there has also been a 23 per cent drop in injuries and 19.5 per cent less property damage stemming from alcohol-related crashes. “The goals of improved road safety by the provincial government were achieved,” the report said, despite the “partial decrimi-

nalization” of impaired driving in B.C. that accompanied the change. According to the study, 2,890 drivers were charged with impaired driving after the policy change, compared to 9,070 in the year prior to implementation – a 68 per cent drop. It notes roadside penalties are enforced immediately and seen as more severe – particularly at the lower alcohol levels – while it’s a long, difficult and uncertain process to convicted drunk drivers in court. Researchers said they can’t tell for certain if the new penalties themselves or the publicity about
them are most responsible for the change in behaviour. Criminal charges are still more likely with repeat offenders, according to the study. It notes police can’t issue roadside penalties for crashes they didn’t witness, so criminal charges are the only option in those cases. Provincial politicians have promoted the change as a life-saver, but they also acknowledge it has helped relieve some pressure on the congested justice system. Officials at the Centre for Addictions Research said the findings suggest other provinces should follow B.C.’s lead.
B.C. Civil Liberties Association executive director Josh Patterson said the new approach runs counter to the presumption of innocence in our society. “We don’t think that police should be in the position of giving out punishment,” he said. “We think that is the job of the courts.” B.C.’s program was revised to require the right to two breath tests, with the lowest reading being used, and an appeal procedure is now in place. Legal challenges that aim to overturn the system are still before the courts.
Gun amnesty paying dividends, say RCMP Seven days remain in Gun Amnesty Month, and local RCMP are pleased with the results so far. As of Friday, they had taken in 23 long guns, three hand guns, one pellet pistol, two bows and several hundred rounds of ammunition. The amnesty remains open until June 30 for those who want to turn in unwanted or illegally owned firearms without the threat of criminal charges. It only serves to make our community a safer place,” said RCMP Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen. Legal possession of a firearm requires a firearms acquisition permit and license, and those documents aren’t transferable. Many firearm owners who didn’t update their documents 10 years ago when legislation changed to require more permits. The amnesty is primarily aimed at people like this. If you have firearms you want to turn in, don’t bring them to the RCMP detachment. Phone them and they will come to you. In Chilliwack, call 604-792-4611. In Hope call 604-869-7750 and in Agassiz call 604-7962211.

News Redevelopment of DT ‘brownfields’ made easier Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Barriers to downtown development presented by “brownfields� have been vexing Chilliwack for years. Now Chilliwack council has come up with a way to encourage property owners to clean up potentially contaminated and actual contaminated sites, in the downtown core. Hemmera Consultants worked with city staff to create “a simplified guide� to simplify the steps involved with brownfield investigation and remediation process of hazardous substances in the soil and water underground. The Brownfield Redevelopment Guide,
developed by staff, was received by council for information, on June 18. The guide is geared to helping owners navigate the remediation process required before redevelopment can take place, explained engineering and planning director David Blain, during the staff report at the last council meeting. Common examples are Section II properties that once saw gas stations or dry cleaner businesses on them. The complexity, confusion, potential liability and the remediation costs all “add up to become barriers,� Blain explained to council. But in fact most of the front-end work of the remediation process is
not that complicated, he said, and the guide helps demystify and simplify it by providing a chart that explains the steps. The net result is a guide officials hope will help speed up remediations. The next step is distributing the guide, and working with clients at the city hall counter, he said. Coun. Jason Lum asked if it would be possible for staff to prepare a list of the brownfield properties, “so we could flag them up front.� Blain replied it was something staff could likely do, based on information obtained from past business licences. “Some of that work was already done in the past,� he said. They could start with a core area, Blain added. Coun. Chuck Stam
queried about ways to “stir them out of their sleep,� referring to owners of such properties that may require remediation, “so they don’t have to wait another 25 years� to redevelop. Blain agreed an action plan could be completed. Mayor Sharon Gaetz summed it up as a
“struggle� that council has been engaged in for a long time. “We don’t have much in the way of a carrot,� she said, adding that she was glad the background work had been done by staff in the form of the new guide.

They once said he was too country for Nashville. Country superstar Dwight Yoakam will stride onto the stage at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack on Sept. 21, according to the concert announcement made Monday. The singer-songwriter and film actor is known for his distinct voice, multiple styles, and a pale cowboy hat, usually with the brim pulled low. His latest, self-produced album, 3 Pears, “exemplifies his ability to incorporate multiple, competing influences into a piece of cohesive art,” according to his bio. “It balances his country core with a fiercely independent embrace of rock, Americana, pop and soul.” With more than 25 million albums sold worldwide, it places

A welcome addition
The growth of a community usually comes in little steps; it changes over time, not overnight. But Chilliwack took a big step forward this week with the official opening of the Sardis Library. The facility has been lending books since early May, but on Monday it received its official welcome to the city’s growing list of public assets. It was a true community celebration, and one that demonstrates the important addition the library will make to the south end of town, and to Chilliwack as a whole. The 10,600-square-foot facility fills an important niche in the growing demographic of Sardis. It offers more than books; it provides an important and complementary resource to all members of the community. Open for just a few weeks, it is has already attracted fans of all ages. It’s now not unusual to see neighours lugging home armloads of books, or children sitting attentively for story time. The beautiful design provides a bright and comfortable atmosphere, offering plenty of light during the summer, and a cozy fireside nook to curl up next to on a rainy afternoon. The multipurpose community room offers access to the outside, and the flexibility of after-hour use. It’s been nestled in neatly to an existing park, helping to defray costs and expand services in the area. When combined with the adjacent playground, tennis courts, skating rinks and park space, the library is a great place for families. But perhaps its biggest success is yet to come. Although the new library is a great asset today, its real worth will be measured in years to come. For so many young people, the library will spark a relationship with books and reading that will grow with them over a lifetime. And years from now, when the library’s youngest patrons have children of their own, they’ll remember the Saturday mornings spent amid the books, and the treasures to be share at home before bed. Libraries help encourage literacy and that is something we all benefit from. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Drawing lessons from the flooding in Alberta The devastating flooding in southern Alberta could have critical lessons for all towns and cities located near rivers with subdivisions in flood zones. Chilliwack has been the victim of flooding in the past and it’s only a matter of time when spring melt and weather conditions will pull the elements together for a future encounter with a raging river. Weather and geography came together in Alberta causing the perfect storm. A massive high pressure system held in place by a ‘loop’ in the jet stream that prevented an easterly low pressure system moving through are what turned a normal spring storm into a deluge. The system got stuck over the eastern slopes of the Rockies, pulling in moisture from Saskatchewan and the U.S. The unusual weather looping brought upside down tem-

peratures. Whitehorse had beach front weather with highs of 25oC An unprecedented 220 mm of rain fell in just 36 hours in one area of the Kananaskis. As the rain kept falling it added to the melting snowpack and last winter Alberta had record snows. In just 48 hours, the flow rates of Margaret the Bow, Elbow and Highwood rivEVANS ers spiked five to ten times that of normal. Streams became rivers; rivers became 100 k/h torrents, picking up trees and car-sized boulders and ripping houses from their foundations with the ease of pulling daisies. On Thursday, the Elbow River peaked at 513 cubic metres per second. The entire cri-
sis spilled into southeastern B.C. with flooding in the Elk Valley region. This flood is far worse than the flood of 2005 that also took three lives and was then considered the province’s worst. Some $165 million were paid out in disaster service payments. This year’s flood, is considered at least four times worse. So far, three people have also tragically died. Flooding is no stranger to the Fraser Valley. The Fraser River has reached flood stage 25 times in the last 100 years with the largest river flood in May 1894 when rapid snowmelt caused river levels to dramatically rise in both height and breadth triggering flooding from Harrison to Richmond. The second largest flood was in 1948 by which time the valley was a busy, growing community of agriculture, industry and settle-
ment. The Trans-Canada highway had been built and there were two transcontinental railway lines. Thousands of people were displaced and infrastructure damage included roads, bridges and hundreds of buildings. With the rebuilding came dykes and berms to keep the river in its channel. No doubt Alberta (and many communities in Canada) will take a more critical look at building in flood zones. Already, criticism is being voiced that not enough attention was paid to the recommendations in a report following their 2005 flood. In 2006 the Alberta government released its Provincial Flood Mitigation Report: Consultation and Recommendations. In addition to the key recommendation of establishing and keeping up to date information on flood zones, a strong recommendation was that

building development should be stopped on flood risk areas. The report stated that undeveloped flood plains are the natural and most effective form of flood mitigation and selling land in those zones is the opposite of mitigation goals. As the flood waters move through the river networks to Manitoba to drain into Lake Winnipeg, the sobering economic facts of this event will start to surface. But other questions are also emerging. Is this a once in a lifetime event, or are weather events of this magnitude on the increase? Scientists can’t help but ask if more intense weather patterns bringing these levels of precipitation, melting, and flooding are in the future as the global climate shifts gears. Many are trying to find out.

busy road especially past the railroad tracks going south where there is only one lane each way. First there was a nice man selling flowers beside a barn with a lot of parking for cars to get off the road. Then came the berry booths and the lawn ornament tent. Then someone decided to set up shop and
make a new parking lot on the west side of Evans directly across the busy intersection of Stevenson so he could sell berries. Imagine my surprise when a car drove across Evans from Stevenson almost cutting me off, while I was busy trying to avoid the door of a car park on the side of Evans that was parked partly on the road, so when he
opened his door it was halfway in the road. On the weekend that place looks like a real flea market. I’m thinking that if the city does not seem to mind this, then I’m getting my trailer ready and moving my business there also.  When can we expect to see a bus stop and a nice bench in the area?

Education should not be a playground for politics I would like to tell you part of a true story with a happy outcome. The whole story will not be completed for years; he’s a work in progress. At the early age of five, my son was diagnosed with dyslexia. With the help and support of family, friends and teachers, we tutored and helped this little guy trough Grade 2 in the public school system. After which he started at a new school in Maple Ridge – James Cameron, a school that specializes in teaching children with learning disabilities, using phonics and the Ortan Gillingham method. For three years we drove Bradley to school daily, including mandatory summer school. This schooling provided him with the necessary tools he would need to be able to continue in the public school
system. I can’t begin to thank all the people who have contributed to Bradley’s success. And I would like them to know that he has just graduated with distinction from BCIT with a diploma in electrical engineering and an automation option. He is now in the process of being employed by a significant company in his career choice. The basis of Bradley’s education was phonics – specifically, the Orton Gillingham method. By the time Brad had finished his three years at James Cameron he was reading Harry Potter books on his own. I find it very frustrating to hear that our school district’s director of instruction has cancelled the Early Success Program. This is the program that teaches phonetically,
including the Ortan Gillingham. They have let to two teachers that have, on their own initiative, broadened their teaching abilities to include these methods. My child will never speak or write French. And it is very nice that the French immersion children are being taken care of. But what about our obligation as a school district and society to provide children with learning disabilities the basic right of an education that teaches them to read? Now, this is a happy story. It has a happy ending. My child is happy and can read and follow his dreams. And I am happily out of the public school system that sits back and plays games of politics with our children’s future.

Golf tournament for Ann Davis society a hit I was fortunate this weekend to be able to participate in the Ann Davis/ Fire Fighters charity golf tournament. These are both wonderful causes and I was impressed by
how well organized the tournament was. I think I can speak for most of the golfers when I say it was an absolute great time. Meadowlands golf course was in fantastic
condition and the weather co-operated to a tee. The food was incredible and our mayor even came to thank both Ann Davis and the Fire Fighters Charitable Society for
the wonderful work they do. Thank you for the excellent work you do for the community and for a wonderful day of golf and fun! Eddie Schroeder

Living in B.C. can be expensive, and the minimum wage brings a family of four just barely above the poverty line. This forms the basis of a campaign to encourage employers to pay a minimum living wage, calculated by taking into account actual living costs. Vancity Chilliwack, as well as all other branches of the credit union, have committed to paying all staff the set Metro Vancouver living wage of $19.62. The company has become the first in the Fraser Valley to embrace the movement. “It’s based on the principle that if people are working full-time, then they should not have to live in poverty. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case,” said Alison Homer, coordinator for Vibrant Abbotsford, a poverty reduction non-profit that manages Living Wage Fraser Valley. “We think that living wage is a logical and simple solution that allows families to be making enough money that they can be meeting their basic needs, but also be able to participate actively in their communities.” The $19.62 rate is higher than what Vancity was paying to some staff members, and 50 employees across the province have had their wages increased as a result of the company signing on to the campaign. This represents approximately two per cent of all employees. “We realized we had some staff who were below the living wage, so we had to raise everybody’s pay,” said Njeri Kontulahti, community investment manager for the Fraser Valley. Vancity has also instilled this minimum for its contractors. In Chilliwack, suppliers that provide janitorial, security or other services are having their contracts renegotiated to account for paying their staff at least the living wage. The move fits within Vancity’s “good money” brand of investing in community-minded businesses. “We’ve always had
munity, staff, and the people that we serve.” The calculation of the living wage takes into account such costs as shelter, food, childcare,
a vision of redefining wealth,” said Kontulahti. “We just really try to make decisions and take actions that have a positive impact on the com-

Rocking for change and better awareness Alina Konevski The Progress
Two years ago, when he was 17 years old, Edward Gallant began hearing a clamor of disembodied voices. Some were positive, and cheered him on as he overcame a struggle. But in those early months, most were negative; they terrorized Edward as they fought to control him. Edward saw a psychiatrist, and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. “Things literally appeared that didn’t make any sense, which really confused you and you would become really scared,” he said. There were about six distinct voices, mostly of people from Edward’s past, such as a kind deceased uncle, or a cruel childhood schoolteacher. Many of the negative voices harassed Edward to commit self-harm, and it became difficult to distinguish them from real-world sounds and demands. “It definitely puts you in a deep depressive state for a while,” he said. In addition to the voices, Edward had strange hallucinations, such as looking up into the rearview mir-
ror of his car and seeing a woman dressed up for work looking back. To his family, in his late teenaged years Edward suddenly began speaking in halting sentences, with huge pauses in between strings of words. He began losing his memory, and his weight. He couldn’t concentrate on one topic very long. He couldn’t sleep, and ended up in the hospital after staying awake for five days. “You could tell he was getting tormented in his mind, and there was nothing anybody could do,” said mom Deanna Wium, who lives in Harrison Hot Springs. The family members have come out as advocates to break stigma surrounding mental illness, and to fundraise for essential services. Alongside Edward’s brother Deon Gallant, the family is hosting a benefit concert on Saturday night, July 6, at Evergreen Hall. The all-local line-up consists of Deon’s punk/ska/reggae band, Poison Corn; hard rock group Explicit Mental Therapy, acid rock group The Marlins, and reggae band the Early Birds. Friends of the family, the band mates agreed to donate all proceeds
to non-profit groups in Chilliwack that provide affordable housing for people with mental illness. According to local experts, access to affordable housing is the biggest issue facing people with mental illness in the community. The concert will feature original music. Tickets are $10, and there will a 50/50 draw and door prizes. With several hundred expected attendees, the family hopes to raise thousands of dollars. There are about 850 people in Chilliwack living with schizophrenia, according to the B.C. Schizophrenia Society’s estimate of one in 100 people. Chilliwack has a handful of psychiatrists, each with hundreds of clients, and waiting lists for first diagnoses are many months long. Deanna brought Edward to Abbotsford for initial testing, but it was still six weeks before he received his first medication. He then slept for 72 hours. Before his symptoms showed up, Edward was fast on his way to a successful welding career. “He struggled through school, but still graduated. He wanted to travel. And then this happened, and
everything’s come to a stop,” said Deanna. “He’s frustrated. He’s hurt. He’s mad about the situation. He wants his life back to normal.” Edward is still on the same career path, but at a slower pace. He is due to return to school in October for a first-year welding apprenticeship at a college in Edmonton, where he resides with his dad. Edward has a natural aptitude for math, chemistry, and engineering. He researched the chemical imbalance that causes schizophrenia, and can take a dirt bike apart completely and put it back together. He has been trying different medications over the last two years, seeking one that controls his symptoms while not making him drowsy, so that he can operate specialized machinery at his welding training. Edward, now 20, hasn’t heard the negative voices since he started on anti-psychotic medication over a year ago. When he has schizophrenic symptoms now, they are usually positive and he knows how to handle them. Edward credits much of his positive trend to recovery with a radical change in lifestyle. He goes to the
gym daily, watches what he eats, and meditates at least once a day. “I went completely on the ‘green’ side of everything. And honestly, I think that helped more than the medication. I’m sure the medication with it helped, but I think I turned it around by going on the greener side of things instead of just relying on the doctors and medication,” he said. He is working with his psychiatrist to reduce his dosage over time, and hopes to get to the point where he only takes a pill at night, leaving him fully functional during the day. About a quarter of people with schizophrenia will recover, and another quarter will improve with treatment, according to the B.C. Schizophrenia Society. Another quarter will need extensive community support, 15 per cent will not improve and need hospitalization, and society will lose 10 per cent to suicide. For Edward, as he takes care of a rescued pit bull/German Shepherd mix, and maintains a healthy lifestyle while planning to continue his education, the future is hopeful. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

River Forecast Centre downgraded its flood warning on the Elk River at Fernie to a flood watch over the weekend, as residents of 80 homes in the East Kootenay community of Hosmer were allowed to return home after and evacuation order along the river. High streamflow advisories were ended for the Kicking Horse River and other rivers in the West and East Kootenay and Columbia regions. The Trans-Canada Highway reopened to passenger vehicles only between Golden and Banff Monday, but remained closed east of Banff because of multiple washouts in Alberta. Highway 93 was open to single-lane alternating traffic between Fort Steele and Wasa and also between Radium and Castle Junction as repairs to washouts continued. On Mission Creek in the Kelowna area, a local state of emergency allowed the transportation ministry to demolish a vacant house near the rain-swollen creek to keep it from washing away and damaging a bridge on Highway 23. Prince George area residents, meanwhile, were bracing for a return of severe thunderstorms that wreaked havoc from the Kootenays across southern Alber ta. Environment Canada issued a severe thunderstorm watch for Prince George, warning of possible hail, heavy rain and high winds.

Introducing your 2013 Leaders of Tomorrow A
cknowledging outstanding graduating students who have provided exemplary service and leadership for their school and/or community is the focus of the Leaders of Tomorrow Program. The Leaders of Tomorrow Program is one of the initiatives from the Rotary’s ‘Career and 4-Way Test Committee’. The program is designed to promote and acknowledge graduating students from each of Chilliwack’s three high schools, how they have demonstrated the principles of the ‘Rotary 4-Way Test’, and how they have demonstrated excellence in one or more of the following areas: leadership, service, citizenship, and/or excellence in achievement. This special section features six of the many Leaders of Tomorrow. They are: Kelsey Ablitt and Chelsea Lewicki from Chilliwack secondary; Brittany Clough and Peter Ki from G.W. Graham secondary; and Abeni Steegstra and Rebecca Sturm from Sardis secondary. The ‘4-Way Test’ is a motto that applies to the things we think, say or do: 1) Is it the truth?; 2) Is it fair to all concerned?; 3) Will it build goodwill and better friendships?; and 4) Will it be beneficial to all concerned? The Leaders of Tomorrow Program has evolved over time since its conception in 2006. The program is supported by the following stakeholders within our community: the three Rotary Clubs of Chilliwack (Rotary Club of Chilliwack, Rotary Club of Chilliwack-Fraser, Rotary Club of

ooking after a “little sister” through the Big Brothers Big Sisters in Chilliwack reaffirmed for Kelsey Ablitt that she wanted to devote her life to education. For the past year, the Chilliwack secondary senior hung out with a Grade 7 Chilliwack middle school student once a week, for an hour. They would usually spend that time chatting, which taught Ablitt how to quickly find common ground with a stranger. “It’s nice knowing that you’re there for someone else, and they enjoy the time with you,” said Ablitt. “Just knowing you matter to someone.” Ablitt loves school, and gets as involved as she can. She was one of the key student planners for the mass Hello, Good-Bye reunion at CSS in March. She was on the student graduation committee, participated in student council, and planned a long list of school events through a leadership class. The CSS reunion was especially interesting for the history buff, who completed an advanced placement history
Kelsey Ablitt
hilliwack secondary’s student council president, Chelsea Lewicki, knows how to take a breath from a busy life to appreciate the beauty around her. As part of her application to the University of the Fraser Valley’s Bachelor in Fine Arts, Lewicki submitted a highly creative selfportrait, that didn’t show her at all. Instead, the visionary student took a large, old picture frame and molded a broken-up tree limb around it. She donned the form with an antique scarf and hat, and shot a photo of everything in the sunset. This represented her old soul, her love of antique styles, the way she accomplishes a lot with a quiet nature. “It was supposed to be a self-portrait, but I took it to a different level,” said Lewicki. “I like to have things that, at the end of it, it’s caught you. Like a mind’s map, where you’re trying to figure out what each thing means to you specifically. I find it interesting that I could go so many ways with just one piece of something.” UFV loved the idea, and Lewicki will start at the school in September, focusing on photography and new media. This creative depth is a change of pace for
O
the busy school organizer, who was a force propelling Chilliwack secondary’s Hello, GoodBye mass reunion forward this year. Lewicki spent several days a week for six months talking with people, from students to alumni to city hall staff, to ensure the night was a success. Unafraid of speaking with strangers, Lewicki invited everyone she called to help out at the event. Lewicki has put her new media skills to good use, by managing the website for local charity Wanted Children Foundation. The foundation gathers donations for an orphanage in Nigeria started by a Chilliwack resident. The web experience is something that Lewicki hasn’t gotten at school. Through this full-time volunteer position, she’s learned how to code, and create photo galleries, and design pages. She would love to direct photography on movie sets in the future, and has her eye on transferring to UFV’s sister school in Wales, U.K, after first year because of the area’s robust film industry. She’ll scope out the University of South Wales in early July during a family trip. Wherever she ends up, Lewicki is sure to inspire and lead others.

course in Grade 11 and would like to teach past events to future generations. “I like seeing how things that happened hundreds of years ago still affect us today, and all the different world religions, and the wars, and how things are started, and the changing of the geography of Europe all the time, and the development,” she said. “I find it so fascinating to see how far we’ve come in a short period of time.” She’s starting at University of the Fraser Valley this September, pursuing a B.A. in education. She’ll teach high school, or maybe Grade 3 – a “good age” and one of her favourite years, she says. “I like school, and I like the idea that you can influence someone with their learning, and what they aspire to be, by being a teacher. There are so many teachers that I look up to, and it would be cool to be someone like them,” she said. The upbeat student has kept her feet on the ground. She has maintained her honour roll status, all the while holding several part-time jobs, giving her a strong start to her future at UFV and in the community.

eter Ki dreams of touring the world as a foreign service officer with the Canadian government. He’s starting his political education at the University of British Columbia this fall. But it’s music that has taught the Grade 12 G.W. Graham student true passion for life. Ki has been playing piano since the age of six, and can coax beauty out of a trumpet, bassoon, and viola, all skills he practices with the school’s concert and jazz bands. “Music has shaped me into being a really passionate individual,” he said. “It’s something that has stuck with me ever since I was younger… it’s one of those things that you can’t stop doing because it’s so much fun.” The self-described “music guy” still prefers his voice over any other instrument. He’s taken singing beyond the school’s vocal jazz band and musicals, to join an a cappella group run by Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra’s conductor Paula DeWitt. Ki also performed in the local opera’s production of Pirates of Penzance. While music touches his soul, international diplomacy is where Ki sees
O
his future career. “The idea that our world is globalizing seems more and more evident,” said Ki. “To serve the diplomatic effort would be really cool. To serve Canada’s position on the world stage. I think we have a pretty decent agenda going on, and I want to contribute to that.” Ki has volunteered with the Mark and Chuck Strahl offices for the last few years, providing administrative support such as processing the results of surveys that residents have sent in. He has also campaigned for the Conservative party in the 2011 federal election, handing out pamphlets and calling supporters at home to see if they wanted election signs. These unique insights into what political life entails are forming the groundwork for Ki’s future diplomatic career. He plans to major in international relations at UBC. This summer, he’ll return to South Korea for the first time since childhood to reconnect with family, and is excited to see how the country has changed since his last visit. That trip will bring Ki another step closer to understanding and leading in the globalized world.

ot yet graduated from high school, and Brittany Clough already has a reputation for being a whirlwind community organizer and arts performance diva. The Grade 12 G.W. Graham student goes out of her way to seek volunteer opportunities in Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley, in recognition of which she recently won the title of Miss Teen Fraser Valley. Since being crowed, Clough has fortified her fundraising efforts. She has already raised $6,300 for Free the Children through events such as a city-wide scavenger hunt, and a fashion show, and hopes to reach $10,000 by July. This community leader’s first love has always been the arts. Clough is an assistant instructor at the Chilliwack School of Performing Arts, and has performed in or helped organize just about every dance and music production that her school has put out, including G.W.’s Got Talent this year. Clough even choreographed, wrote, and directed her own musical years earlier. Come fall, she will be pursuing a Bachelor in Fine Arts at the University of British
O
O
Columbia, with a focus on acting and creative writing. The straight-A student is frequently out of the house morning to night, has commitments back-to-back, and finds herself eating meals on the way to the next meeting. Clough loves her busy life. “It makes you experience life a bit more,” she said. “I love everything that I’m doing. When you love doing stuff, it’s not a burden.” She believes that every teen should experience new things and stay connected to the community, while pursuing their passion. This summer she’ll compete in the Miss Teen nationals in Toronto in July, a competition she respects for shining a light on inner beauty. Earlier this year, Clough brought several dozen girls together to forgo makeup and hair products for one week in an effort to combat low self-esteem among teenaged girls. Clough will use the Toronto trip as an opportunity to hop across the border to see musicals in New York, keeping true to her form of carefully balancing community life with her passion for the arts.

pending a year in Spain was enough to convince Sardis secondary student Rebecca Sturm that she wanted to teach English as a second language for the rest of her life. Sturm spent last year fully immersed in the Spanish culture and language of a small town outside Madrid as part of the Rotary Exchange program. While she barely knew the local language at the start of the year, she was fluent by the end. Learning a new language, all the while offering ESL courses to Spanish students, taught Sturm the importance of knowing English and of having good teachers to teach it. English is a fast-growing global language, and is a priority for Spanish students, Sturm learned. With the troubled European economy, many students couldn’t afford the private English academies. As an alternative, students could attend English lessons at the local church, where Sturm taught three times per week. “That made me realize that’s something I want to do the rest of my life,” she said. In addition to Spanish, Sturm understands Italian, French and Portuguese, skills she could use to tailor her teaching to people from these language groups. She is heading into University of the Fraser

beni Steegstra frequently volunteers with church groups helping Chilliwack’s less fortunate, an experience that has set the Sardis secondary student on a new career path. After her university education, she would like to manage development projects abroad in order to help people the world over get access to clean water, education, and other basic necessities. “I know the problems here (in Canada) are important, but when I think about it, we are literally the kings and queens of the world. We have so much,” she said. Steegstra is starting her global development studies at the University of the Fraser Valley this September. Heading into university with approximately $6,500 in community scholarships, she hopes to raise enough funds to finally discover some of the world’s developing countries in the coming years. Locally, she has already reached out in the community. She volunteered for a bottle drive to provide food for homeless people downtown through her church, St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran. Steegstra also helped raise about $1,500 as part of Run for Cherish, which funds one Sardis secondary youth to travel to
Valley’s Bachelor of Arts program in September, the first step to becoming an ESL teacher. “My dream job is to be an ESL teacher everywhere. Everywhere. And possibly teach rugby on the side,” she said. A local sports leader, Sturm started the first girls’ rugby team at Sardis secondary this year. The team performed so well that the senior boys’ coach has been talking to Sturm about managing the boys’ team ahead of a game in Ireland next year. Vedder middle school has also approached Sturm to coach a rugby team there. Sturm is a frequent Chilliwack community fundraiser, and transferred her skills to the Spanish context last year, helping raise $40,000 over a weekend for homelessness. Prior to that, she did a mission trip to Mexico in 2011, during which she saw a man and his pregnant wife living in their car. “It was a real eye-opener, because as much as people can tell you what it’s like, I feel like you don’t really know until you’ve seen it,” said Sturm. “It made me so much more grateful for what we have.” The ever-enthusiastic Sturm is sure to apply her understanding and passion toward providing students globally a leg up in the increasingly English-dominated world.

a mission trip abroad in memory of Andrea Cherish. And a few years ago, Steegstra held a unique craft sale to fundraise for a famine in Africa. She acts in the belief that youth have a responsibility to help strengthen their community. “It would make things better,” she said. “If people don’t do stuff, then what’s going to change? We grew up here. Why wouldn’t we take care of it?” Steegstra will extend her local efforts to the global scale as part of her career in international development. She already has a firm grasp of what her dream job entails, and believes her organized nature would fit right in. “I know in international development, the higher you move up the ranks, the more of an office job it is. It’s a very organizational job. I’m an organized person. I like leading projects.” She’s gotten a taste of program management through organizing school events this year, and discovered she enjoyed leading people. As an optimistic person who rarely criticizes, Steegstra is set on the path to unite teams of caring people towards positive global change.

After your offer on your new home is accepted . . . Buying a home is probably one of the most challenging (and expensive) purchases you will make. Once you decide that you definitely want to buy a property, you have to endure the stressful period of waiting for the seller’s response to your offer. So when you hear that the sellers have accepted your offer and are prepared to sign a contract, it’s only natural to feel completely elated. The house you wanted is now yours! Your Realtor congratulates you, and then gives you a reality check - the house is almost yours. You find out that there are several very important steps involved in transacting the sale of a home that are the buyer’s responsibility. Until all aspects of the transaction process are completed, it’s not a done deal. One of the most common subjects imposed on the sale of a property is the home inspection. Getting an inspection protects the buyer from discovering problems with the house after moving in. The purchase agreement allows a certain period of time for home inspections to take place, so don’t delay in scheduling the inspector’s visit. If defects are discovered that will require some repairs, make a few phone calls to get estimates from contractors. Ask your Realtor for references if you need repair estimates from local contractors. You may have to re-negotiate the purchase price if the defect is significant and was not
So is it time to make a move now that summer is finally here? If you don’t know where to start, I’ll help you have no fear! Listings are strong & rates are low, Perfect to buy or sell! So if you want a helping hand, Just come and . . . “Ring My Bell”

disclosed (or discovered) prior to signing the contract. Home insurance is another obligation that must be arranged prior to completion. Lending institutions won’t issue a mortgage if the property in question is not covered by home insurance. Contact reputable home insurance companies, and compare rate quotes and plans. As a home buyer, you’ll be subject to requests from the lender for miscellaneous documentation to support your loan application. They may ask for additional financial data, and it’s wise to respond immediately with any documents the lender requires. Procrastination inevitably builds delay into the transaction. During the home buying process, your Realtor is there to provide you with information about your rights and responsibilities, and to keep you informed of impending deadlines, when the appraiser is ready to visit the home, for example, and when important contract dates are approaching. However, the more aware you are of the buyer’s role in advance, the better prepared you will be to do you part.

I grew up in a military home and when I was a boy my father was posted to CFB Chilliwack. Cultus Lake is where I played and when we moved I never forgot Cultus Lake or Chilliwack, I could always see the mountains in my mind’s eye. My job brought me back to BC and in 1976 I decided to make Chilliwack my home. I obtained my real estate license the spring of 1980. I’ve lived a full life both personally and professionally and that life has given me a clear understanding of how things work. Life is about the people you meet and the stories created.

For many people, their home is their biggest asset and their prized possession. When it comes time to buy that first home, or sell your current home and upgrade, why trust someone that doesn’t have intimate knowledge of the area and local market? Having been born and raised in Chilliwack, knowing the community and various neighbourhoods comes as second nature to me. With an extensive background in Personal and Commercial Insurance Sales and Marketing, I know what it takes to market products to the right people to achieve a quick sale and for top dollar. I love working with people and seeing my clients meet their Real Estate Goals is my main focus! When Buying or Selling Property, you need an honest, hardworking REALTOR that you can count on to be there for you and to devote the time to ensure that you are totally satisfied before, during and after your transaction. I am that REALTOR; and I welcome your calls.
I’m happy to say that Chilliwack is my home, and always has been. This is a city with spirit and heartbeat! I love living here, so it’s no wonder to me that others want to make it their home too. While our city keeps growing and the landscape keeps changing, people’s basic needs tend to stay the same... especially when it comes to buying and protecting their most important asset -their homes. Finding the right Realtor® to help you buy or sell your home, means making a GOOD CHOICE. My professional experience has always centred around helping people from all walks of life, which made a career in real estate a perfect fit for me. Working hard and doing a great job as your Realtor® is always my goal...it’s what I believe in. You can trust that with me on your side, you’ll always get the same top-notch service that I would expect myself. Ready to talk real estate? Call me anytime... it’s where your GOOD CHOICE gets GREAT RESULTS!

The top three teams advance to the Canada West post season tournament. “We were close to earning a post season berth last fall,” said coach Alan Errington. “With the majority of our squad back, we have the talent to compete for a post season match this year.” The Cascade women will play five games at home. The first is Sept. 6 vs UNBC. They host Calgary Oct. 4, Lethbridge Oct. 5, Saskatchewan Oct. 11 and Regina Oct. 12. The women compete in the 13-team Canada West conference, with
each school playing 12 regular season matches. The top eight earn a post-season spot. UFV finished 6-5-1 last year, placing seventh. They have earned a post-season berth in two of the past three years, winning the 2010 conference title. “We look forward to once again playing our home games in Chilliwack this season,” said coach Rob Giesbrecht. “Securing points in our home games will be vital for our team this year and we hope the community can get behind us as we look to challenge for a Canada West championship.” See ufv.ca/athletics

Chilliwack FC’s men’s Pacific Coast
Soccer League squad is making a run. With a 1-0 homefield win over first place West Vancouver FC on Sunday, the locals have moved into seventh spot in the eight team circuit. They need to vault over three teams to reach the top four and a playoff spot. The only goal in Sunday’s game came midway through the
first half, off the foot of striker Jaye Amberg. Scott Delcourt got the helper with a perfectly placed pass off a free kick. The teams traded chances in the second half, with Chilliwack keeper Jon Vugteveen making a couple huge stops. The goaltender recorded his first cleansheet of the season. The Chilliwack back-
line of Kyle Rawlek, Zac Hansen, Nick Haywood and Jordan Lam bent but did not break, keeping the blue chip chances to a minimum. Chilliwack returns to action Saturday, hosting Richmond’s TSS Academy in a 2 p.m. start at Townsend Park. Get league stats and schedules online at pcsl.org.

Chilliwack’s Cheam Vaulters dominant in Delta Chilliwack’s Cheam Vaulters were out in full force for the first Equine Canada competition of the season, held
at Greystone Stables in Delta. In a vaulting competition, athletes compete in two separate tests
(compulsory and freestyle), done over one or two rounds. Their overall scores come from averaging these two tests. In her first recognized competition, Hannah Campbell placed second at the beginning walk level. In the youngest age group (U-10), Sage Bennedictson placed third in compulsories and fourth overall while Sam Kennedy placed fourth in freestyle and fifth overall.
In the beginning canter division, Deseray Smith was fourth in round one and sixth overall while Shianne Peters placed sixth in round one and seventh overall. At the provincial canter level, Cassie Sponchia finished first in the second round of freestyle. She was fourth overall in round two. Abigale Wynberg was third in round two and fourth overall and Taylor Eamor was sixth
in round one. At the national A level, Haigen Pavan finished first place in the men’s division. At the national AA level, Cheam Vaulters coach Alisa Schmidt-Anema was first in freestyle and second overall. In team vaulting, six vaulters perform a four minute choreographed routine with up to three on the horse at the same time. Cheam’s Team Radiance was the only entry in their division,
achieving a score of 9.7 out of 10 for their degree of difficulty. Team members were Schmidt-Anema, Pavan, Wynberg, Sponchia, Samantha Kennedy and Ali McKitrick. Team Serenity placed second in freestyle and third overall in their division. Team members were Eamor, Smith, Peters, Darla Ricka, Jess Bentzen and Bartly Dyck. The club had three pairs entered. Schmidt-Anema
teamed with Ricka to place first overall. Sponchia and Pavan were second. Eamor and Wynberg were fourth in compulsories and fifth overall. Several Cheam Vaulters travel to California next month for the Pacific Cup, a qualifying competition for the 2014 World Equestrian Games. Kennedy, Sponchia, McKitrick, Eamor, Ricka, Pavan and Schmidt-Anema will make the trip.

Carl Ernest Michael Engstrom aged 70 years passed away suddenly at home on June 20, 2013. He is sadly missed by his wife Fern and daughter Kelly (Cam)/ Grandchildren Hailey and Emily, as well as many relatives and friends. Carl grew up in Harrison Mills and lived his life in Chilliwack. Those that know him could find him peacefully fishing on the Harrison river every weekend and all summer long on his trusty tugboat. His last few years he enjoyed watching his granddaughters playing their sports. Carl requested cremation and no funeral service so to respect his wishes we will be having a Celebration of Life Tea/coffee held at 45875 Foxglove Ave. Chilliwack, BC on Saturday, June 29 from 1-3.

WILSON, Norah Feb. 27, 1916 - June 11, 2013 Norah was born in Yorkshire, England and emigrated with the family to Canada in 1954 to Nova Scotia, and later Ontario and has been in BC for the past 44 years. Norah was predeceased by her husband, Kenneth in 2006. She is survived by her children, Susan (Roopchand), Hazel (Graham) and David (Irene), grandchildren Devon (her mother Chris and brother Jesse), Chad, Tracy, Marc (Jessica), Craig (Courtney). Norah’s love of food led her to be a dietitian in several hospitals over the years, in Ontario and finally retiring from VGH. She loved to bake and has passed on her passion to two grandsons who are chefs. Her lemon tarts will always be on the menu at Chad’s place of employment. The fact that Norah was able to continue to live in her own home is due in large part to the care and support of Chilliwack Home Health, Home Support. The daily visits were essential to keeping her as healthy and happy as she was. Thanks in particular to Slavka and Diane for your extra special care. Also, thanks to Angie Fast, Nurse Practitioner, CGH, for your regular visits, support and availability to the family. And finally, to Home Health Physiotherapist, par excellence, Isabelle Chignon, without whom Norah would likely not have been able to remain at home. We are so appreciative of all the practitioners who do home visits: We Care, for foot care; Sonus Hearing for hearing aid care, Dawn’s Hairdressing, and last but certainly not least, to Deana McLean for keeping Norah’s house clean and comfortable. The services for home care/support in this community are varied and available, one has only to inquire. Thanks also to the nurses and staff in Emergency and NU5 at CGH. The care and compassion that you exhibited will be remembered. The six nights spent at CGH was Norah’s longest hospital stay since the early 1960’s. She lived a long, healthy life. There will be no funeral by request. Donations to the charity of your choice would be appreciated.
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear mother and grandmother, Stella Brown. Stella was born to Robert and Stella Downing in Maymont, Saskatchewan on April 22, 1920 where she lived until 1935, when her family moved to Chilliwack. Mom met her one and true love, Victor Brown, while he worked at the post office. She invited him for dinner at her mom’s home and that was it. They married on August 26, 1941. Forever together. Stella loved her travels and parties. Family meant everything to her and she loved one and all of us dearly. She leaves behind daughters Dorothy (Bill) Sturgeon and Shelly (Danny) Mallari, grandchildren Rhonda (Chris) Lobermayer, Vicki Sturgeon, Daniel Mallari, Sean Mallari, Keri-Brown (Dan Giesz) and great grandchildren Ian and Curtis Lobermayer and Marijane Giesz. We will miss you mom. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawnmtcheam.ca.
