Banner year for Ed Centre comes to a close
2019 grad class celebrated as school looks back on successes Jessica Peters The Progress
It’s been a banner year for the Education Centre, with students excelling along a number of chosen paths. The most talked about is probably the hard work the Outdoor Education class put in up at the Chilliwack Community Forest trails, helping create and maintain the city’s newest green space. But a recent open house and tour of the school showcased all of the other things they’ve been up to, from important milestones to major changes. The alternate school invited the first official class of Grade 9s into the fold this school year, giving them a taste of what alt education is like, and likewise, getting to know the students better. The homerooms at the Education Centre are divided into students’ needs, interests and strengths. Each homeroom works intently on their main focus, while also breaking off for students to work on their other high school requirements.
The Trades Discovery students, for example, created benches for students to enjoy for years to come, while the Creative Tech homeroom documented all the highlights for the school’s year book. In the school’s kitchen, the culinary program not only taught students the basics of cooking. It was also where a partner program with Bowls of Hope focused on slow-cooker meals, sending prepared meals and information home to families. Their Sustainable Resource students work in the school’s garden, raise chickens and coho salmon, participate in a variety of science experiments, and enjoy guest visits from a variety of farm animals including pigs, turkeys, and a yearly visit from a calf. Field trips include visits to the EcoDairy, the Pacific Dairy Expo, Kilby Historic Site, the Chilliwack River Fish Hatchery, a variety of chicken farms, and the Chilliwack Community Forest. And all of this and more was celebrated on June 20, when the 2019

Young bear killed downtown was habituated to humans Jessica Peters The Progress
A young black bear had to be killed on a residential street in downtown Chilliwack Wednesday, a con-
servation officer (CO) has confirmed. The bear had been becoming more and more habituated over the past three weeks, and on Wednesday became aggressive with residents in
the downtown core. Sgt. Don Stahl, a South Fraser CO, told The Progress on Wednesday evening that the 150-pound., twoto-three year old male bear had charged at several indi-
viduals throughout the day. RCMP tried to follow him and see if he would return to the green space along the Hope Slough, as they waited for a CO to arrive on scene. But the bear was not re-
turning to green space, and seemed intent on exploring several residential areas. The bear was even caught on camera along Kipp Avenue just before 2 p.m., by someone on their balcony.

At that time, it was being slowly pursued by a police officer with its lights on. The bear was running west close to Stanley Avenue. Continued on Page A3

Aggressive teen bear not suited for relocation Continued from Page A1
The video showed up on a Facebook page, along with countless comments from people hoping the bear would make it back to the nearby green space. Instead, the bear made its way further into the downtown area, and was eventually shot by a conservation officer on Henderson Avenue near College Street. Witnesses around the city updated the location of the bear until its demise near Central elementary school. About 2:15 p.m., the police scanner mentioned a call out for a “wash down” at that intersection. Central elementary, which was still in session, reportedly had a hold and secure while the incident took place. Stahl says the bear made a running charge toward the school, and the CO on scene made the decision to take the bear down. They have been watching the bear for three or four weeks, he says. It has previously been moved away from McCammon elemen-
numerous call,” Stahl says. “Today it actually charged a couple times at people,” he added. An aggressive teen bear is not suitable for relocation, he explains, as it wouldn’t be able to compete with older, bigger bears in the area. Of the hundreds of bear calls they’ve received in this region this year, he says he believes this is only the second time a bear has been “dispatched.” Conservation officers had already tried “hazing” the bear, which is pushing it back toward its natural habitat away from humans. That can work when a bear is not habituated. He says when they’ve tried relocating these kinds of bears, at this age and size, it’s been unsuccessful because bears that are more than twice their size are very territorial. The habituated bears easily find their way back to populated areas, including campgrounds. A small bear runs across Kipp Avenue in Chilliwack, being followed by an RCMP truck. (Submitted photo) “It will keep coming back to town,” Stahl says. “We don’t like tary, where it was spending time back, Stahl says. he says. eating. The bear had distinctive “It was a very distinctive bear, “He was at the west end of Prin- to do it, but we have to make safety cinnamon brown markings on its and it had gotten very habituated,” cess again today, and we received for humans a priority.”
MLA moved to action by disturbing traffic video Throness to lobby for safety measures for school kids after viewing mother’s video footage of school bus drop off on Yale Jessica Peters The Progress
A video caught by a Chilliwack family’s security camera is highlighting how reckless drivers are putting school kids in danger. Agatha Kerkhoff saw the video and retaped it with her phone, to zoom in on the details. She shared it with her MLA in Chilliwack-Kent, Laurie Throness, and he was so troubled by it, he’s been moved to take action to make the roads safer. The video is shocking — for anyone who hasn’t already witnessed this kind of recklessness countless times. The school bus pulls up in front of the Yale
Road home at about 12:40 p.m. The bus driver lowers the stop sign and engages the flashing lights. But it’s not enough to stop a car speed past in the opposite direction. Just seconds after the car speeds by, little Martina is off the bus, crossing Yale Road, and skipping down her driveway. The Kerkhoffs have three young children, and are concerned with the cars that constantly speed by school buses, even when the signs are out. Throness says the Kerkhoffs’ video “presents a disturbing scenario,” and that he intends to do something about it. “There are several things I am going to investigate as MLA,” he says, including lob-

for a ‘drop arm’ that extends further out from the bus than the present stop signs do, and is even looking into the appropriateness of a private member’s bill. Throness reached out to The Progress, with the Kerkhoff family’s permission, to share the video and remind drivers that school buses are carrying precious cargo. “You might want to assist with the public awareness piece,” he wrote. “That would let people know that oncoming traffic must stop for a school bus when the stop sign is out.” Martina, a young Chilliwack student, gets off the bus He also took to his own Facebook page on a busy route that often sees drivers speeding past this week to remind drivers that even as school buses after the flashing lights and stop sign are the school year is ending, it’s important to engaged.

Driver charged for crash that killed pregnant woman Paul Henderson The Progress
More than a year after a pregnant Kelowna woman was killed in a car crash near Bridal Falls, a Chilliwack man is facing one charge under the Motor Vehicle Act. Tayah Lloyd, 31, was
with her husband Justin travelling west on Highway 1 on May 26, 2018 when an eastbound vehicle crossed into the westbound lane, colliding head-on with the couple’s car. The two were newlyweds expecting their first child. She was six
months pregnant. She died in the impact of the crash. Lloyd’s husband and the other driver, Frank Marx Tessman, were taken to hospital in critical condition. Both recovered. In provincial court in Chilliwack on Tues-
day, the 47-year-old Tessman had a first appearance facing one count of driving a motor vehicle without due care and attention. The charge is not under the criminal code but is a Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) offence that comes with a fine
of a minimum of $100. Someone convicted under the specific provision of the act could be liable to a fine up to $2,000, imprisonment up to six months, or both. Lloyd was a beloved teacher at Anne McClymont Elementary
school in Kelowna. After the crash, the children she taught, parents and school staff struggled with the tragic news. A parent of one of her kindergarten students said Lloyd was “so lovely.” “She had a calm way about her, but when she told the kids ‘it’s time
to go’ everyone stopped and paid attention, even though she was so gentle,” Eyrely Webber said. After the accident a GoFundMe was started to help Justin. “Justin and Tayah Lloyd were newlyweds, having only been married in December of 2017 and were excitedly expecting their first
child. They enjoyed spending quality time together outdoors and you could find them mountain biking, camping, quading and hiking around the Okanagan most weekends,” the GoFundMe said. That GoFundMe has since been taken down. Tessman is next due in court on July 9.

Bike lane debris poses cyclist safety hazard
! Y L I A D OPEN
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Bikes lanes can sometimes be littered with gravel, glass, and other debris that can pose safety hazards for cyclists. Chilliwack resident Drew Brayshaw said he’s noticed the lack of street-cleaning behind the new bollards that came with the new protected bikes lanes along Young Road at Berkeley Avenue. He snapped a photo Wednesday of a city sweeper truck trying to manoeuvre around the barriers near the intersection. Brayshaw emailed the pic to City of Chilliwack to say that although they proactively installed the protective bike lanes to make things safer for cyclists, there was obviously no accompanying requirement for staff to have them swept to protect cyclists from tire-slashing incidents. “They are full of gravel and broken glass and cigarette butts,” he told The Progress about the bike lanes. “They have not been cleaned since
Resident asks if something can be done about debris in the new protected bike lanes at Young and Berkeley, and the answer from City of Chilliwack was “yes.” (Jennifer Feinberg/ The Progress) the snow melted. I have already popped one tire here and I don’t doubt other riders have as well.” The new bike lane facilities are physically separated from traffic with bollards, which were recommended in the Cycle Vision Plan. Council adopted the Cycle Vision in 2017 to improve the cycling network, build more bike lanes and achieve some quick wins. The avid cyclist suggested in
his message that it might be a planning problem that could be addressed by dispatching someone with a broom occasionally. Brayshaw was delighted to receive a quick response from city staff within an hour to say that the service request for action was in the hands of public works crews. “They said they’d fix it,” he reported. “Hopefully my email will get them to clean it more regularly going forward instead of a one-off thing.”

16 months jail for vehicle theft, flight from police, crash Paul Henderson The Progress
A local prolific offender who stole a truck and trailer in Abbotsford, fled police and crashed off an embankment at the Prest Road exit of Highway 1 in Chilliwack last summer was sentenced to 16 months more in jail in court. Michael Joseph Hasell, who has four dozen convictions to his name, was charged with motor vehicle theft in Abbotsford, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and flight from peace officer in Chilliwack. He pleaded guilty to the theft and the flight, and attended in a wheelchair at a sentencing hearing on April 17. Apparently, prior to the truck theft, he stole a motorized scooter in Chilliwack, crashed it and broke both his legs.
and the crash that occurred near a pedestrian. “Mr. Hasell has proved himself to be dangerous and unmanageable in the community,” Waldock said, pointing to him leaving a recovery house just one day after checking in last year before stealing the truck. Also, two months before the vehicle theft, Hasell was in a black Ford Mustang on Fletcher Street outside a drug house when another prolific offender and drug dealer, Corey Richard Emery, came out and shot at the Mustang with a pellet gun. Aftermath of a stolen pickup and trailer on July 17, After the Prest Road crash, a witness said 2018. (Paul Henderson/ The Progress file) he saw the truck and trailer roll into the dense blackberry bushes on the embankment on the At that hearing two months ago, Crown coun- east side of Prest south of the highway. The sel Henry Waldock outlined a chronology of witness told The Progress at the scene that behaviour that culminated in the truck theft he went to help when he saw a man, Hasell,

emerge from the bushes. That’s when a huge police presence descended on the scene, some officers with guns drawn. Waldock asked Judge Richard Browning for 12 months each for the vehicle theft and the fleeing from police to run consecutively. He also asked the court for three months jail for the scooter theft, and three more months for a breach for a total of 30 months jail. In court on June 20, Browning sentenced Hasell to 16 months of new jail time for the flight from police and 12 months for the theft to run concurrently. He will then be on probation for three years. He also faces a three-year driving prohibition under the criminal code and a six-year ban under the Motor Vehicle Act. Hasell was also in court June 20 to be sentenced for a possession of stolen property charge from April 22, 2018 in Chilliwack, and a breach from April 10, 2018 connected to a 2017 peace officer assault/escape from lawful custody conviction. Hasell has an extensive record with now more than 47 criminal convictions in B.C. and Alberta.

Deepfakes are coming It’s a dance we do every five years or so. We’re just five months away from the next federal election and there’s a lot to worry about that voters haven’t had on their plate before. More than just judging which candidate seems the best qualified and most likely to do a good job, voters are going to have to contend with social media. It’s a huge change from the last election or the one before that. Back then, social media was relatively new. Candidates used it to reach out more to their communities, interacting full time rather than just at scripted campaign rallies. That’s changed. Social media is now filled with as much bad information as good, perhaps more. Along with our news articles, there will be lots of opinions out there from people you know and even more from people you don’t; on everything from the local candidate to the party leader. And as we strive to bring you the best coverage, there is the opposite, what’s come to be known by the term fake news — everything

from minor misinformation to out-and-out faked news stories, all designed to sway your vote by fair means or foul. The latest addition to this category is deepfakes, where, as an article in The Guardian put it, “The truth goes to die.” Altered photos have been a problem for years, though most are easy to spot. Deepfakes takes that to a whole new level, creating a video where you can have anyone say anything you want. Want to see Andrew Scheer endorse Justin Trudeau? Or watch the prime minister say he is voting Green this fall? Deepfakes can do that for you. And the technology is getting better every day. There’s already a lot of distrust when it comes to politician’s promises, but deepfakes are going to take that to a whole new level. This fall, and every election thereafter, voters are going to have to do a good job of educating themselves, not just on parties and issues, but on when and how they are being lied to.

Looking back at 33 years in newspapers
After 33 years, 179 days and 16 hours, it’s time to say goodbye. When I look back, I have so many great memories of the past years. I’ve made amazing friendships both at work and in the communities I’ve worked in. There were many characters who graced our offices that made us smile or scratch our heads. There were stories of compassion and fear, love and hate, achievements and failures. And there was the human spirit that we encountered that left us in awe. The changes in our industry, sometimes at warp speed, brought us social media and the love and hate relationships it brings. We are more educated, more engaged, more opinionated and more involved in our communities and the world than ever before. Thirty-three years ago, I never knew where Paul McCartney was vacationing. I didn’t know what Elizabeth Taylor was having for lunch. Today,
I know exactly how Justin Bieber feels and I know what celebrities are duking it out on Instagram. This is information I’m not sure makes me a better person but it’s good to know in case anyone asks. And Twitter and Facebook, well, thank goodness for that! Presidents and Prime Ministers use it to communicate with us commoners, so it JEAN can’t be all that bad, HINCKS right? And “Google it.” Two words that can stop an argument in a nanosecond. We may have gone too far but that’s where we are. And most of us have survived. Even our newspaper. We won awards, we sponsored charities, we brought you news both good and bad. It was heart-warming to see
good come from a story and sad to see how sometimes we can treat each other. But some things never changed. We still have carriers to deliver our papers. Usually it’s our children’s first jobs and parents teach them the responsibilities of earning and saving money. Or it may be a senior just looking for some exercise and a little extra cash. I’ve had mentors that helped me grow in both my life and my career. Even after 33 years, you still need a good friend to bounce things off of and to chat about how we did it in the old days. When you start referencing the “old days” you feel much more important as if it’s a badge of honour to have been around all this time. We are still all involved in charities and promote what’s happening in our city. We still publish the real news with real journalists. There’s no fake news here and that is something that makes
me really proud. I’ve had some good and bad advice about retiring although it’s all meant to help me be prepared. Get a part time job, don’t stop moving, volunteer, join this club or that one, travel here, don’t go there, and so on. I’m soaking it all in, but I think I’ll just have to find my way and hope I’m smart enough after all these years to make the right decisions. Although, sometimes I forget where my car keys are, so I won’t be going anywhere on those days! I plan on walking the golf course a few times a week and getting physio the rest of the week. I’m not sure why my body can’t keep up with the 30-year-old brain. It’s very disappointing. I got a gym membership too and that’s where I’m going to go to get strong in case someone tries to steal my purse. I’ll need to swing it hard to ward off the attacker. I thought I’d warn them now to save them the embarrassment later.
I’m going to miss deadlines. I’m going to miss stopping the presses, (although that only happened twice in my lifetime). I’m going to miss the camaraderie. I’m going to miss knowing what you never knew about a story because it couldn’t be printed. I’m going to miss the advertisers and most of all I’ll miss you, our readers. We’ve come a long way together. Some people say, don’t look back, you’re not going that way, but I look back, because there’s many happy memories that have shaped who I am. I’m going forward into my new life with no alarm clock, nurturing my garden, improving my golf game and cheering on the Valley Huskers and the Calgary Stampeders and cruising the seas. Thank you all for being a part of my journey. I will miss you, but I hope to see you in my travels. Stay true and be kind.

MLA moved to action by video of car speeding by school bus The school zones in this town are outrageous! The crap I see on a daily basis, makes me sick and my blood boil! Maybe impounding these cars for a month would be helpful? Trish Hay This is so maddening! It happens all over. My kids get picked up on Ashwell and so many people speed past while the bus has the sign out. I always look like a crazy person yelling at them. Brandi McAmmond Yale Road by Little Mountain school is brutal. I take my son to Cheam and people are speeding through the school zone every morning. It’s clearly marked a school zone.

Strahl wants to correct the record Re: “Strahl ad disingenuous” by Wayne Underhill, The Progress, June 21, 2019. I want to take this opportunity to correct the record on Mr. Underhill’s slanderous letter from June 21. I am disappointed, but not surprised, that Mr. Underhill would choose to use the occasion of National Indigenous Peoples Day to try to score cheap political points. If it were just his usual pro-Liberal, anti-Conservative tripe, I would not have given it a second thought or given him the satisfaction of a response. However, given that his recent letter contains several outright lies, I feel compelled to correct the record. Lie number one: Mr. Underhill said that I and then Aboriginal Affairs Minister, Bernard Valcourt, were the only two not to rise from our seats to applaud
the presentation of the Truth and Reconciliation Report on Dec. 15, 2015. The record will show that I was not even at that event as I had duties in the House of Commons because the Minister was away. Lie number two: Mr. Underhill stated that I have never visited the office of the Sto:lo Nation. This is also demonstrably false as I have visited several times including presenting a certificate to honour Marilyn Gail Michell for the Prime Minister’s Early Childhood Education Award and attending an event hosted by the Chilliwack Healthier Communities that included a tour of the entire Sto:lo grounds on Vedder Road. I also attended the ceremony to launch the book, “Being Ts’elxwéyeqw” at the Sto:lo grounds, to name just a few. I have also met on numerous
occasions with Chief David Jimmie to discuss issues affecting the Sto:lo nation and have attended events throughout my riding that have been significant in terms of reconciliation including the unveiling of the Lost Boys carving in Hope and the unveiling of the welcome figures at the Chilliwack Tourism building in Chilliwack. Lie number three: Mr. Underhill said that I have been silent on providing information on reconciliation with First Nations. Again, this is not true. In addition to providing information directly to constituents in response to countless pieces of correspondence, I have met directly with constituents on reconciliation efforts and have sent surveys and information on reconciliation efforts by mail to the people of Chilliwack–Hope. I also wrote an op-ed regarding the importance
of the First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act when it comes to reconciliation in light of the tragic residential schools era. Unfortunately, the Act was abandoned after Shawn Atleo resigned as National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations. Finally, Mr. Underhill notes that I was unable to attend Minister Champagne’s infrastructure announcement in April. He should know that my office was given less than 24 hours’ notice of the event and that I already had previous commitments that prevented me from attending. As an elected official, I welcome having my positions scrutinized and even criticized; but I will not allow outright lies about me to stand without taking appropriate action to set the record straight. Mark Strahl MP Chilliwack-Hope
Minimum wage hits franchisees hard B.C. minimum wage went from $12.65 to $13.85 effective June 1. Franchise operations such as McDonalds, Wendy’s, A&W, Burger King, Dairy Queen, and Tim Horton’s will suffer from the new pay rates. Why? Owners of these franchise operations cannot increase their menu pricing because the menu pricing is set by the head office corporation
outlets of these franchise operations. This pay raise comes directly out of the bottom line profit of these franchise owners. The only solution is to send some employees to the unemployment office, and reduce hours for other employees. Also some employees in these franchise operations are already paid higher than minimum wage because
of years worked. These employees will also have to be given a pay raise. Some taxpayers voted for a change in government in the last B.C. provincial election, but the new B.C. NDP minority government does not have any business sense. Also, all of us as customers to the retail sector will now just have to wait longer at the cash out count-
ers because there will be less cash checkouts open because of the new minimum wage. The new B.C. government fails to realize that minimum wage pertains to small business. They also fail to realize that along with the new minimum wage, comes employer paid benefits which amount to 35%. Add 35% to the wage, this now makes the minimum
wage $18.70 per hour, all coming out of the franchisee bottom line profit. In closing, do not get frustrated when waiting in a line at a cash out counter, as it is not the problem of the retailers. The longer wait lines were created by the no business sense B.C. NDP minority government. Unbelievable! Joe Sawchuk Duncan
School uniforms solves dress code debate As the discussion about an acceptable dress code in our schools continues, I wonder if the easy solution is a simple type of school uniform. (No fancy
jackets needed.) I am sure that families would appreciate the savings that come with not having to spend a lot of money on stylish back-to-school
clothes for their kids. Simple pants and T-Shirts with Instead of paying for expen- the respective school logo would sive name brands, parents could also promote school unity. Mario C. Alleckna contribute to a school uniform Chilliwack fund.

Traffic changes in effect at Lickman interchange Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Chilliwack motorists will have to be patient with the traffic flow changes now in effect at the Lickman Road overpass. Traffic is being directed through the new roundabout on the south side, as part of the $6.5-million Lickman Interchange Improvement Project. The traffic signal at the eastbound offramp was removed on June 24, taking away the left turn option. The new configuration is part of changes coming to the north and south sides geared to cutting traffic congestion, and improving traffic flow, as well as adding to pedestrian/cyclist infrastructure. Delays might even be a little longer than normal until all the paving, line-painting and signage is finished in the coming weeks, according to City of Chilliwack officials. The new roundabout, completed last
The focus of the Lickman upgrade plan was to remove the left-turn movements at the eastbound ramp intersection and redirect left-turns to the south at Yale/ Luckakuck and Lickman. (City of Chilliwack graphic) month, is temporarily functioning as a onelane roundabout, with long-term plans to make it two-lane roundabout once all the outstanding works are completed. The focus of the Lickman upgrade was to remove the left-turn movements at the eastbound ramp intersection and redirect leftturns to the south at
Yale/Luckakuck and Lickman. They’ll be installing new turning lanes at the Yale Road /Industrial Way intersection, and additional southbound climbing lane to the westbound onramp. According to the project plans, “key improvements on the south side include an additional north-
bound lane, and additional southbound lane, removal of eastbound off-ramp/ on-ramp signal to allow right-turn only at off-ramp, and construction of a twolane roundabout at the Yale Road/Luckakuck Way intersection. “Improvements also include extension of the northbound left turn lane on the suspended portion over Highway 1 as well as bike lanes in both directions on Lickman Road.” The $6.5-million project was partially funded by the Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure. No changes will be made to the overpass itself since the “estimated remaining useful life of the bridge portion of the interchange is 15 years,” according to the original 2016 staff report. The province has said the highway at that location will be widened to six lanes by 2030.

‘Don’t let the noise of others drown out your inner voice’: Arul-Pragasam
Continued from A1
Swankey, and Acting Superintendent Rohan Arul-Pragasam. “Don’t let the noise of others drown out your inner voice,” Arul-Pragasam told them. The Education Centre is a constantly changing school,
adapting to the needs of its students. Next year, they will expand to include using the former CHANCE site for their Sustainable Resource program, among others. They may add more homerooms with new focuses, and have plans to shift classrooms around to accomodate
its own growth. One thing that doesn’t change at the Education Centre, though, is its strength in partnerships with community. Central Community Church, where the graduation ceremony was held, is a major partner who provides a hot meal to the students every sin-
gle Monday throughout the school year. As a neighbour to the school, they also provide hampers to families at Christmas, a year-end barbecue and other supports. The Knights of Columbus and the Lions Club also partner with the school in various ways.

Getting to Canada Day festivities in Chilliwack should be a bit easier with the help of transit this year. There will be free service on all routes that day, according to the Chilliwack Transit Canada Day schedule. And while the rest of the city will operate as a regular Sunday, Route 2 Evans will have a heavily increased schedule to get people to and from Townsend Park. The bus is running every 10 to 20 minutes throughout the day, and will make its last trip well after the last bit of fireworks. Canada Day events begin at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at Evergreen Hall. There is also a pancake breakfast at the firehall on Cheam Avenue that begins at 8 a.m.
Chilliwack Transit is providing free service on Canada Day, and extra trips on Route 2 Evans until after the fireworks. (Progress file) A Canada Day Fun Run will start at 10 a.m. at Townsend Park, and the stage show begins at 11 a.m. Free events run throughout the day at the park, and wrap up at 10 p.m. when the fire-

But understand that motivation doesn’t happen to us- we need to create it. Every. Single. Day. Staying motivated is critical to your success. You might decide to train for an event, workout with a friend, subscribe to a running magazine, or read your goals every day. • Start moving now. Don’t wait until your basement is renovated, you find the perfect exercise outfit, or your kids are out of school. There may never be a perfect time to start exercising, but the best time is today. • Celebrate your successes. Give yourself a mental high five for each win: each time you stop eating when you’re no longer hungry or get up at six to go to the gym. Celebrating your small victories will be positive reinforcement for the changes you are making, and it will help you stick with it. • Keep going. The path forward will not be a linear incline; there will be ups and downs. Keep going. There will be days that you just won’t feel like it. There will be days that you’ll “mess up.” Let it go and focus on making the next best choice. Adopt an “all or something” attitude and do something positive for your health every day. Just keep going. I understand how challenging it can be to take that first step. Or to reach out and ask for help, or to join a fitness program, when you’re not looking and feeling your best. Or to decide to start again when you’ve “failed” so many times in the past. It takes a lot of courage. You are worth it. Be kind to yourself and start small. You’ve got this. I believe in you.

Nursing students get hands-on learning in Sierra Leone ‘It broke my heart to know that because of the location someone was born in the world, the care they received may be inadequate’ Ten University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) nursing students recently completed a two-week–long study tour to Sierra Leone to witness first-hand global health issues and challenges in a low-income country. The study tour was part of the global health elective course within the UFV Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program. Nursing faculty member Catherine Smith served as primary tour leader and supervisor, with help from faculty members Adele Phillips and Janice Savoy. Smith is a proponent for global health engagement and scholarship. She is heavily involved in strategic planning and health care delivery in Makeni, Sierra Leone, as part of her work as director and vice-chair of ReSurge Africa. She is also an advocate of advancing nurse education through her work with the nursing school in Makeni. By placing the students in healthcare settings with a population that has faced the devastating effects of civil war and a crisis of Ebola, study tour organizers gave them the opportunity to witness projects managed by the World Health Organization, UNICEF, various NGOs, and local health partners. Students connected with the community to support sustainable practices and share hands-on learning opportunities that enriched the experience of Sierra Leonean locals too. “Sierra Leone is a beautiful country. The people are among some of the kindest and most welcoming individuals I have ever met,” says Samantha Ray, who graduated from the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at UFV
Convocation on June 5. The students’ role was to learn from local nurses and healthcare staff, observe and participate in care when appropriate, and mingle with Sierra Leonean nursing students and faculty in order to gain perspective of what it means to be a healthcare provider in West Africa. “Access to healthcare, clean water, education, livelihood, food security, and sanitation is a daily struggle and a challenge. The experience gave the students a true perspective of what it means to live with these challenges,” says Smith. “They saw the importance of interconnecting healthcare and secure livelihood projects in a developing country; this is pertinent in breaking the cycle of poverty.” Nurses play a crucial and dynamic role in health care. They need to be confident communicators and are often a source of empowerment for their patient’s access to care. International education experiences, particularly in professional health programs, are an important component for preparing students for broader responsibilities. The course is an example of the UFV Faculty of Health Sciences’ approach to preparing health and wellness leaders in the local community and beyond. But the experience didn’t come without a challenge for the Canadian nursing students. Placed in an unfamiliar environment where health inequity was painfully obvious, UFV nursing student Amy Mueller describes her time in Sierra Leone as life changing. “We were able to spend time at the government hospital in Makeni. There was a young boy lying in his mother’s
arms in the ICU. His mother picked him up to readjust the cloth that covered a large second degree burn over most of his lower body. This boy was in obvious discomfort. All of the things we would do at home rushed to my head. It hurt my heart to know this boy might be suffering. It wasn’t because the sight upset me, it was because it broke my heart to know that because of the location someone was born in the world, the care they received may be inadequate. Despite these challenging circumstances, the people in Sierra Leone are incredibly resilient,” says Mueller. For student Luke Sanderson, the trip to West Africa strengthened his sense and appreciation for community building. “During our first hospital visit we walked past a group of mothers and their newborn babies outside resting in the shade. As we approached, our hospital guide took the hand of one of the mothers and suddenly the whole group broke out into song! This moment was so heartwarming, seeing everyone joyous, I forgot I was in a hospital for a moment. It was this sense of community and togetherness that
The group on their last day in Makeni, a student with a group of children, and the Holy Spirit Catholic Hospital in Makeni. (Student Nurses for Global Citizens Instagram images) makes me admire Sierra Leone,” says Sanderson. Smith is hopeful this venture will develop into a two-way partnership with UFV and local universities in Sierra Leone. “I am very mindful about not taking from Sierra Leone but giving back as well,” says Smith. “We live in a society where stereotyping is easily
done. Don’t let biases influence or taint the image of a low-income country. You will still meet genuine, generous, helpful, and kind people. Experience before you judge!” Some students commented that no textbook or nursing lecture could have taught them as much about culturally competent care as this experience did.

When Ava Vanderstarren competed in and won the Miss BC pageant in 2013, she was inspired to establish her own charity. Six years later, she continues working on the rehabilitation of former child soldiers in Sierra Leone. “On that weekend, I decided what are the most important things to me, for my platform, which were women’s rights and rehabilitation of child soldiers,” the Chilliwack born and raised woman said. Her partner, Fazineh Keita, is a former child soldier from the Sierra Leone civil war and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. The two decided to found the Innocence Lost
Foundation in 2013. “We thought that, later on in our lives when our careers were established, we would do humanitarian work. Miss BC gave me the push to start it in then instead of waiting,” Vanderstarren said. The couple is raising funds to build a healing centre that will offer education, skills training, and therapy programs for former child soldiers. They have so far raised $122,000 of their $200,000 goal for phase one, which includes the land purchase, a well and a medical clinic. The 3.5-acre site will later include a library, computer lab, classrooms, soccer field, and outdoor teaching areas. The art therapy programs were inspired by Keita’s experience in overcoming trauma.
Ava Vanderstarren and her partner, Fazineh Keita. (Sandra Leung) “Usually, people don’t want to talk about things,” Vanderstarren said. “[But] if you’re working through an acting piece, writing, painting, drawing, doing activities – there is natural healing that starts to occur.” She recommends that Miss BC contestants volunteer with local organizations
and only start a charity if they are ready for a lifelong commitment. “Choose a platform that is personal to you and something you would dedicate yourself to.” This year’s Miss BC pageant will be held June 29 to July 1 at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley.

First season special for girls lacrosse squad Eric J. Welsh The Progress
It has been a historic season for lacrosse in Chilliwack, with the introduction of an all-girls team. The Chilliwack Mustangs started the season as underdogs. With just nine girls on the team, most with no prior experience, the team took its lumps. “We were playing against opponents that had 16-plus players and years of experience behind them,” said team manager Brieanne Causton. “Obviously, our little team was destroyed by these bigger and more more experienced associations. “But, over the last few weeks we had more girls join up and finally our players starting to get into a groove.”
Keeping in mind that many of the girls had never even held a lacrosse stick before the spring, it was amazing when Grace Duncan scored five goals in a single game. All of the girls started to find a role. Parson Beiderwieden joined Duncan as one of the team’s top goal scorers, and frustrated foes with her two-way play. Olivia Causton ploughed through foes and scored goals like a veteran and a once shy and timid girl like Jaikalee Peters became a force on the floor. Brenna Taylor morphed into a top-level offensive player with a ton of skill while Chelsie Hawryluk emerged as the ultimate defensive player, fearlessly challenging players twice her size. Maeve Dodd-Laderoute did everything she was asked to, playing goalie, defence and forward. Even Avery Rahe, and Leilani Klynsoon, players called up from tyke, found a way to
make an impact. “Don’t let their size fool you,” Causton cautioned. “Those girls are little, but they are fierce.” When they were losing by scores of 11-0 and 15-1, it would have been easy to get discouraged, but Daphne Taylor never lost her enthusiasm. Dubbed ‘Little Miss Sunshine,’ she was energetic and positive no matter what was happening. Vayda Hamel was the ultimate team player, pouring her heard out every game, and doing it with a smile. As the season neared a close, the Mustangs broke through with back to back wins. Goalie Makinlee Johnston backstopped her team to victories over Langley (4-2 and 5-4). With the wins came confidence. Already the fastest player on the floor, Mya ‘Flash’ Marston flew up and down the floor like a bolt of lighting.

Duncan is part of a trailblazing all-girls team for the Chilliwack Minor Lacrosse program. (Jenna Hauck/ The Progress) Danika Haviland and Samantha MacDonald drove opponents to distraction with fearless physical play. “Throughout our
trials and tribulations as a brand new team, our girls never gave up,” Causton said. “They poured their blood, sweat and tears out on the floor (liter-
ally), and the coaches and parents were just beaming with pride after every game. “Our players have proven themselves to be a force to be reck-
oned with, and they are here to stay.” With so much momentum, the girls are now hoping to field a field-lacrosse team in the fall, and have even
more girls playing next spring. Anyone who is interested in playing can get more info online at chilliwacklacrosse. com.
Hope Mountain Centre offering guided hikes The idea is to get people to explore and discover their back yard Barry Stewart Hope Standard
You probably didn’t know it — but you missed the first one. The next two are up to you. The Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning offered a free, guided hike for families last Saturday and, sadly, there weren’t enough registrations for it to go ahead. The centre’s outdoor educator, Natalie Worrall
said on Tuesday that the low numbers were possibly because of the time of year. “As a mom, I’m feeling the crazy crunch, when all the sports and school activities are ending all at once.” After parents — and grandparents — have had a few days to settle into a summer schedule, perhaps they can fit in the other two hikes of the series. The next hike is on Saturday, July 6 and the last is on Saturday, July 20.
The program is funded by Fraser Health and is intended for Hope and Fraser Canyon residents, said Worrall, a Chilliwack resident now in her fifth year with Hope Mountain Centre. “The idea is to get people to explore and discover their back yard,” said Worrall, her enthusiasm bubbling through the phone line. “Maybe break down some barriers for parents and give them new places to try. I have lots of tips and tricks for getting kids outside.” Growing up at a remote lighthouse on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Wor-
rall had little choice but to be out in nature. Beaches, tidal pools, forests and streams were a giant playground for Worrall and her brother. She says her parents settled on Chilliwack when they moved back to civilization, giving the family a chance to stay close to nature. Now, Worrall’s work takes her eastward to the Hope area. She’ll soon be taking on a water-testing role in the Skagit River, as well as continuing to help with marketing and programs for the Hope Mountain Centre.
The June hike was planned for Flood Falls, an easy hike that most families can handle. In the rainy season, the falls are thunderous — but in July and August, they’re down to a splashy trickle that families would have a great time playing in. The July 6 hike has two possible routes, at present. “It might be a river walk, along the Coquihalla River,” said Worrall. “I used to work for Fisheries, so I can include a lot of water facts, as well as talking about the flora and fauna and how to stay safe, with wildlife around you.
“It might also be the Othello Tunnels, with the loop trail,” she added. “Wherever it is, we’d be back to our vehicles within a few hours. People would need to bring their own food and water. “The third hike would be the Thacker Mountain trail,” said Worrall. “We’ve pitched the series for kids aged five and up,” she said. “It’s an excellent opportunity for 7 to 12-year-olds or even teens. “As soon as I see my audience, I bring it to their level. I love to have fun — and children love to explore!” she enthused.
“They’re not goal-oriented like parents can be, wanting to ‘reach the summit in two hours.’ They want to turn over rocks and look at slugs and snails,” she said. “It’s so important to our children’s health, to connect them with nature. “They need someone to inspire that sense of wonder,” emphasized Worrall. Even over the phone, one can tell that she has kept hers fully intact. To pre-register for the hikes, contact the centre’s Ashley Taylor at 604-8691274 or atyler@hopemountain.org.

TALKING ABOUT CANNABIS CAN GO MANY WAYS
Chilliwack Progress
www.theprogress.com
Overcoming a fear of failure How many of us would be strutting around town today if we’d given up after the first time we tried to walk, writes Knowlton Thomas
PRACTICEKIDS.CA
Throughout my life, I have seldom been good at anything on first try. If you, like I, are human, your experience may be similar. Hockey players do not take their first step onto the ice, race down the rink and snipe a wrist shot to the top corner. Indeed, half the time they fall on that first step—and the second, and the third—whether it’s a tumbling toddler overwhelmed with padding or his kneeknocked mother clinging desperately to the
rim of the rink. Of course, we get used to failing the first few tries early on in life. After all, how many of us would be strutting around town today if we’d given up after the first time we tried to walk? It’s impressive determination from a being at the time limited to drooling, crying, and pooping. But babies don’t settle for that skill set, even if it means scraped knees or a sore bum. I ask you to look at babies for a little inspiration. You see, as adults many of us lose this profound ability to
fail constantly and still push forward. We often become conditioned to fear failure, and this has a dire consequence: people stop trying new things or give up when they’re not immediately proficient. Friends, that is nonsense. Do not fear failure! Sports are a wonderful thing, even if most of us suck at them—the first time certainly, and in many cases for years. I was terrible at tennis, for example, until I wasn’t. The same can be said for many of my other endeavours, including martial arts and cycling.
Nothing could have made me good at those activities the first time. Thankfully that’s irrelevant. Practice can’t quite make perfect, but a consistent application of specific training nearly guarantees progression— which feels fantastic, and motivates us all the more. Now, do not think you must train like you’re gunning for the pros. That kind of unrealistic approach turns some away and sets up the rest for disappointment. This is about conquering the nagging devil on your shoulder who somehow convinced you that being good at stuff you’ve never done before is likely and perhaps even expected. (It’s not.) Obstacles are not to be avoided but rather assessed then dismantled.
Taking up a sport, whichever you choose, offers an excellent opportunity to overcome the fear of failure. When you identify success, spread the courage: ensure any children or siblings you have in sports do not lose the ambition to become good at that which they are currently not. And after you do step on to that ice, glide with grace down that rink, and fire with flare that top-shelf shot, understand what got you there is an attitude. Then apply that attitude to your career, your relationships, and everything else. You’ll become an unstoppable force. Because if failure can’t stop you, what can? Knowlton is a trainer at Club XO.
Basketball Bandits feel Edmonton’s sting The quest to win a game this season continues for the Fraser Valley Bandits, after the Canadian Elite Basketball League team lost its ninth straight game last Saturday night. The Bandits grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory against the Edmonton Stingers,
falling 104-95 in overtime at the Abbotsford Centre. At 0-9, Fraser Valley remains the only winless team in the CEBL, and the playoff potential for the team in its first season is fading fast with just 11 games remaining in the schedule. Edmonton was
fuelled by the backcourt combination of Deondre Parks and Adika Peter-Mcneilly, who combined for 55 points in the win. Tyrrel Tate was the Bandits top performer, with 21 points and six rebounds, but he took 18 shots to get those points. Yale Secondary
grad Marek Klassen collected 15 points, 11 assists and five rebounds, but also took 15 shots. As a team, the Bandits shot 45 per cent compared to Edmonton’s 49. Fraser Valley also shot just 35 per cent from the three point line, while the Stingers made 45
per cent. The Bandits also missed eight free throws, while Edmonton only missed three. The next home game for the team occurs on July 4 when the Guelph Nighthawks return to the Abbotsford Centre. For more on the team, visit thebandits.ca.

College Prep Cougars win Cloverdale showdown two games against the Ridge Meadows Royals. Blaise Melnuk pitched four spotless innings in the opener, and a Hansen run scored off a Berg base hit had Chilliwack up 1-0. They led 2-1 through five innings after Hansen drove in Melnuk, but another late rally sunk them as the Royals plated three in the seventh inning for a 4-2 win. The Chilliwack College Prep Cougars had a busy and successful week, recording five wins in five games. The locals started with a 2-0 rain-soaked home-field win over the Cloverdale Nationals in a game that featured the league’s top two teams. Great pitching from Zach Klim and Brendan Goldsworthy kept the Nats at bay. The Cougars moved on to host the North Langley Blue Sox, winning 6-2 and 3-2. Riley Smith clubbed two doubles and a triple in the opener and pitchers Evan Finnie and Matthias Klim shut down the Blue Sox bats. Josh Siemens got the start in the second game, going five strong innings. The Cougars wrapped up the week with a trip to Kelowna where they whomped
the Sun Devils 14-1 and 6-1. Conall Sexton pitched a complete game gem in the opener. Riley and Noah Zimmer both had a couple of hits and Siemens went four for five with three runs batted in. Zach Klim and Finnie pitched their team to victory in the rematch, with Riley and Saunders bashing home runs.
The midget AAA Cougars jammed seven games into eight days, facing some tough foes. The locals started off with two losses in a double header versus Nanaimo. Brycen Berg was solid on the mound and Josiah Hansen scored a run off an RBI single from Brad Rae.
Moving on to face the first place North Fraser Nationals, pitcher Malakhi Crozier held them to one run over four innings. But the Chilliwack bats were held to two hits (by Finn McCool and Cooper Loeppky) and no runs. Berg was back on the bump against the Cloverdale Spurs, and kept them guessing with off-speed pitches. The Cougars had the game tied 4-4 through four innings with Loeppky, Crozier, Hansen, Berg and Tyler McInnes doing the damage. Singles from Loeppky and Hansen and a double by Frank Coholan had the Cougars leading 5-4 in the fifth, but a late rally carried the Spurs to an 8-7 win and they took the back half of a double header 8-0. Chilliwack finished the week with
The bantam AA Cougars started their week with a double header at Fairfield Island versus West Kelowna. Brady Merritt, Quinn Hennessy and Zach Cavanagh were on-base machines in the opener, but the final score was 8-5 for the visitors. Chilliwack rebounded to win the rematch 7-2 behind solid pitching from Carter Larson and Jackson Parr. Zach Wolter and CJ Robison had pinch-hit RBIs and Hari Dhaliwal legged out a triple and a double. Chilliwack went on to drop both halves of a double header against North Van, by scores of 7-6 and 8-4. Trevor VanderHoek pitched four strong innings in the opener, and chipped in with two hits as well.
Return of Roberts Prospera Centre will have former Chilliwack Chiefs captain Eric Roberts as the lead on-ice instructor for all of its summer hockey camps. The Abbotsford native played 180 regular season and playoff games with Chilliwack between the 2011-12 and 2014-15 BCHL seasons before moving on to the University of Alaska-Anchorage. He played two seasons of NCAA Division 1 hockey while completing his Bachelor of Science degree with a specialization in Natural Science. Starting in Septem-
ber, Roberts will be attending the School of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of Waterloo. “We are thrilled to have Eric on board as our on-ice instructor,” said Barry Douglas, Prospera Centre’s Vice President of Business Operations. “Eric brings with him a wealth of hockey and coaching experience making him a perfect fit for the summer hockey programs we offer.” Summer camps start July 8. See prosperacentre. com/programs/summer-camps/
Daxton VanderKooi added three hits and two RBIs. Kaydin Corbett and Lucas Fellner both reached base twice in the rematch.
In their first game of the summer season, Chilliwack’s peewee AAA Cougars earned a 7-5 road win at Vancouver. An RBI single by Terek Luff got things rolling for the Cougars, but they trailed 4-2 in the sixth inning. Chilliwack roared back in the seventh inning, producing five runs. Pitcher Riley Kwak threw 82 pitches over six innings before giving the ball to Lucas Dykstra to close out the victory.
The peewee AA Cougars started their summer season with a loss to Tri-City, but rebounded with an 11-7 win over Vancouver. Trailing 4-0 in the fourth inning, the locals started to rally when Connor Charest drew a lead-off walk. Charest came around to score on an Eli Robinson single to left-center field. Carter Rushton led off the fifth inning with a bunt and even-
The Chilliwack Cougarettes traveled to Surrey last weekend to compete in the Baseball B.C. All-Girls Jamboree. Comprised of female baseball players ages 10-12, the Cougarettes took on Vancouver and Team Lower Mainland and recorded two wins. “The sportsmanship, positive attitude and pure enjoyment these young ladies exhibited proves girl’s baseball is alive and well in Chilliwack,” said coach Jason Emery. Team members areFaith Harding, Kamryn Dyck, Emme Bartell, Kailyn Guenther, Ziairah Pleasants, Maggie Hahn, Vanessa Fairbourne, Payton O’Brien, Madeleine Groves and Eva Osell. Emery is helped by co-coaches Sean O’Brien and Sheldon Hahn.
