Sharon Stephens is giving back five cedar baskets that have been in her family for 100 years. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Fire leaves more than 40 people homeless
Fire forced a frantic evacuation of about 40 tenants from a down-town apartment early Monday morning.
The fire broke out at around 4 a.m. in the third-floor apartment of a three-storey building, located in the 9200 block of Mary Street near Spadina.
When fire fighters arrived, flames were already shooting through the roof.
A tenant in one of the lower units said he was awoken by the alarm outside his unit. When he raced outside and turned around, he could see sheets of flame com-ing from the top floor.
Apartment manager Robert Lucas said he began banging on doors on the first and second floors at around 4 a.m. when the fire alarm sounded.
He said he tried going up to the third floor, but the smoke was so thick by the time he got up there, he couldn’t see into the hallway.
He did a quick head count on the street outside and said all ten-ants are accounted for – a point later confirmed by Chilliwack fire officials.

It’s heart-warming tale that may give you goose bumps.
Cedar baskets crafted by Sto:lo hands are coming home — full circle after almost 100 years.
The five baskets are owned by Sharon Stephens of Chilliwack, a descendent of the Northcote family.
When she moved to Chilliwack about nine years ago, it was into an apartment building that’s actu-ally kitty corner to where her great-grandparents used to live.
“Ever since I was a little girl, I really liked the baskets,” she tells The Progress. “They were so pretty and interesting looking.”
They are of different shapes and sizes, made from both cedar bark and cedar roots.
With ample family history here, Stephens actually grew up in Burnaby, and spent most of her life, almost half a century, in a variety of B.C. communities, many with a strong aboriginal presence.
One of the strange elements of her tale is that when she finally arrived in Chilliwack, she did not unpack her beloved cedar baskets as she usually did. It’s the first place she has lived where they were not out on display.
They remained tucked away in a laundry basket out of sight. She did not for the life of her know why.
Until now.
The baskets have been in her family ever since her great-grand-mother Annie Northcote bought them on the doorstep about 90 years ago.
The Northcotes, John and Annie, lived in a house near the corner of Corbould and Princess, near The Landing site.
She would admire the baskets at her grandmother’s house, dis-played along with the Limoges pieces.
Her dad, Harold Stephens, 95, still talks about how he would trav-el up to Chilliwack from Burnaby on the B.C. Electric train to visit his grandparents, her great-grand-parents, The Northcotes.
Dad still remembers the bas-kets being purchased by his
grandmother from some Sto:lo ladies who came up to the door from the Fraser River, selling the hand-made cedar baskets, house to house.
When Stephens eventually inherited them, she was thrilled to become the keeper of the baskets, at the age of 20. She brought them with her as she moved from com-munity to community, with her developer husband, through most of her adult life.
Now 68, she never thought of selling them, or parting with them in any way.
“It was strange because I always had them on display in a place of honour in my home. I liked to have them around me.”
But not here.

News
Jessica PetersThe Progress
On a November evening in 2010, Cst. Aaron Kehler was just cresting a hill on rural Highway 27 when something caught his eye.
Headlights from anoth-er vehicle were cutting through the tree line in the distance, just off the road-way between Fort St. James and Vanderhoof. At first, he assumed it was a snowmobil-er out enjoying the evening. And from any other vantage point along the highway, it’s a
detail he wouldn’t even have noticed it.
But it was a pick-up truck, and a few moments later it came full speed onto the highway from a snowy side road. The driver didn’t slow down for the road surface changes, didn’t yield to traf-fic, and sped down the high-way ahead of him.
Even as a rookie officer, Kehler could sense this would be no ordinary traffic stop. But he had no idea he was tracking a serial killer.
“I didn’t think anything of it at first,” he said of the head-
lights. “Except that it’s an odd place for someone to be.”
Kehler didn’t normally patrol the area; he was there transporting a lady’s purse that got left behind after she hit a moose earlier. He fol-lowed the truck for 10 km, until the officer he was meet-ing for the property transfer was in view. In retrospect, the backup was crucial, consider-ing what was about to unfold.
It took some time for the driver to pull over, and when he did it was right under the only street lamp in the area.
As Kehler spoke to the driver, 19-year-old Cody Legebokoff, things really took a weird turn.
They noticed an open beer and searched the truck, finding drops off blood on Legebokoff’s chin and bare legs. He had killed a grouse, he told them, and there was a struggle.
When they found more blood on the rubber floor mat, a stainless steel tool, and eventually on a pipe wrench, he gave the officers a story that he’d been out poaching a deer, with a friend. But there was no friend, and no evi-dence of a deer. And, he was wearing shorts.
Snow inside the truck hadn’t melted, and the blood all over the stainless steel
tool had not congealed. This crime had just happened, they knew that much. And the body wouldn’t be far. A teddy bear backpack was stuffed in the door pocket of the passenger side, with the identification for a 15-year-old girl, Loren Leslie. They ran her name, and she was missing.
A conservation officer was called, who travelled up the road that Legebokoff had emerged onto the highway from just moments before. He found Leslie’s body under a tree, and Legebokoff was arrested for her murder.
Legebokoff is now in pris-on on four counts of first-degree murder, following years of investigation and court dates. At 19 at the date of his arrest, he is Canada’s youngest known serial killer. And had he not been seen on that lonely winter road by a police officer who was there by random happenstance, Kehler said, it’s likely he would have killed again.
“It was unexpected and I didn’t know what I was get-ting into,” Kehler said. “It went from one investigation to the next, and I was trying to sort out what was happen-ing.”
From traffic violation to Liquor Control Act violation,
to a poaching charge, and finally to murder in about an hour. The quick thinking and intuition earned Kehler, a Sardis secondary grad, a Commanding Officer’s Commendation this April.
But the case didn’t end there.
“There were these unsolved homicides,” Kehler said. Major crime units stepped in and the senior officer noticed a similarity to the unsolved homicide of Cynthia Mass, whose body was found outside Prince George a month earlier.
The doctor performing the autopsy confirmed the inju-ries were consistent among the two victims. And there was yet another missing woman, Natasha Lynn Montgomery, who hadn’t been seen from in two months.
They were on the heels of a string of murders, and Kehler’s actions had stopped him cold in his tracks.
“It comes down to the chance of me going down there at that moment, just cresting that hill at that moment,” he said, adding that all the circumstances played into it, right down to avoiding a possibly deadly crash just a few days prior.
“It’s a blessing, for sure,” he said.
Just like in his truck, Legebokoff left a messy trail that connected him to four murdered or missing women. There was DNA of Mass in his apartment, along with the murder weapon. Hundreds of droplets of blood were found, along with footprints of blood with Montgomery’s DNA. Then they found the dried blood of what may have been his first victim, Jill Stuchenko, under his couch. Her body was found a year prior and her murder was still unsolved. They learned the couch had been moved from another residence in Prince George, and searching that home led them to find more of her blood.
Kehler had to spend five days straight on the stand, testifying. It was the first time a defendant in his files had plead not guilty.
Montgomery’s body has not yet been found, and the story is not quite over.
“He is appealing,” Kehler told The Progress this week.
“It’s been a long time com-ing and I’m glad it’s over, but it might all be starting back up again.”
But for now, Cody Legebokoff remains in cus-tody.

SPARKS fly to help apartment fire victimsJennifer FeinbergThe Progress
Sometimes in a crisis situation, it’s the little things that count.
Like a new toothbrush.In the wake of the Mary Street
apartment fire early Monday morn-ing, a group of volunteers called SPARKS also stepped in, and pro-vided some of the necessities of life to the burned out residents.
“They did a fantastic job,” said one of the fire victims, Michael Marks.
There was a feeling of “full-on” support at the scene, from the dedicated emergency responders, to the SPARKS volunteers.
“Do you know what a tooth-brush means when you’re standing on the street with just the clothes on your back?
“By 10 a.m. that toothbrush meant the world to me.”
Marks lived on the third floor of the severely fire-damaged building, and does not know what, if any-thing, will be salvageable. Still, he’s feeling grateful and fortunate that he is one of the few, one of three, with tenants’ insurance.
“One lady lost everything, and a young couple had just moved in last month and didn’t have a chance to sign the insurance papers yet.”
Marks was out on the street, watching the building burn from 4:30 to 7 a.m. He’d been on his way to work in Vancouver that morning, but was able to grab his work bag and wallet.
“It was pandemonium. All you do is just watch the fire. It was just an apartment, but it’s your home.”
He noticed as some of the SPARKS volunteers mobilized to help the fire victims quickly. They engaged the SPARKS network of helpers on social media, bringing down food, and other items.
Marks said he had never heard of the group of Good Samaritans, SPARKS, who have been helping those in a need for months now. They hold a weekly dinner ser-vice at Five Corners, that they call Sunday Handups.
“They were there pretty quick-ly.”
Some SPARKS people were on-scene, while others later followed the bus to the Comfort Inn where the victims were being housed
after the fire.“We were there at the Comfort
Inn from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,” said SPARKS member Linds Hlokoff, about herself and girlfriend.
“We were so busy we didn’t sit down, and I got heat stroke. But it was good to see some smiles on their faces, especially after they spent the morning crying.”
There was water, food, clothes, toys, pet supplies, toiletries and more on offer. There was hot lasa-
gna, and restaurant vouchers, as well as a movie and popcorn. There were free items at Value Village. There were emotional reunions with family members and lost pets.
“I think it gave people hope to see that there’s some good in the world,” said Hlokoff. “It turned into a pretty good day.”
The SPARKS people are now working on providing some short-term housing for fire victims in need.
Firefighters went back into the burned building and retrieved cru-cial items like glasses, medications and dentures.
There were Emergency Social Services personnel helping to arrange accommodations, as well as Salvation Army volunteers help-ing out as well.
Local businesses stepped up too, including Value Village, Save-On Foods, Rendezvous Restaurant, Ricky’s, Cottonwood 4 Cinemas, and more.
Marks said the SPARKS people had donated items they were giv-ing out.
“Everything was new. They said they get it all donated for free, so they give it away for free. There is no politics, or religion involved. If you need it, it’s here.”
Marks said he hopes the SPARKS people “keep doing what they’re doing.”
It’s the little things that really count, like the hugs, the words of encouragement. A toothbrush.
“It just matters. They’re doing a bang-up job.”

NewsFHA hospitals stay clogged despite repeat promisesJeff NagelBlack Press
Hospitals remain severely con-gested in Fraser Health and by some measures the problem has worsened despite repeated vows in recent years to improve conditions.
Three years ago this month, a 2012 congestion review warned hall-way medicine was so rampant in Fraser that staff were “resigned” that the jammed conditions would remain “intractable.”
At that time, just 51 per cent of patients admitted through emer-gency were getting a bed within 10 hours.
Fast forward to April 2015 and that measure has worsened to 35.1
per cent of patients getting a bed within the 10-hour benchmark, down from around 40 per cent for most of the last year. It means two-thirds or more of patients now wait longer than 10 hours at hospitals such as Chilliwack General (32.9 per cent), Surrey Memorial, Abbotsford Regional and Ridge Meadows.
The target for timely access to a bed has actually been lowered over the years.
Today, Fraser is only aiming to get 55 per cent of patients into a bed within 10 hours. Back in 2011, the health ministry gave Fraser a goal of 67 per cent rising to 90 per cent by 2013, but – with the health region falling far short – the province elimi-nated those targets from subsequent
health authority service plans.Fraser is currently averaging 222
patients across its hospitals who’ve been admitted but not yet given a proper bed and are instead being treated in ERs, hallways, lounges or other non-acute care areas. That’s the highest level since 2011 and well above a target of 165 or less.
The health authority’s May report card shows other measures of how long patients stay in hospital are also much worse than the region’s goals.
Fraser’s new strategic and opera-tional plan, completed last year on orders of Health Minister Terry Lake, was supposed to find new ways to decongest hospitals.
Fraser Health president and CEO Michael Marchbank said he expects
to see some improvement by fall but he is not banking on swift change.
Marchbank noted Fraser added $5 million this year for more staff to help move patients through the system more quickly or divert them from emergency to other options when appropriate.
He insisted acute care deconges-tion “is definitely a focus and a prior-ity for us.”
Much of the region’s current strat-egy is aimed at areas outside of hospital: providing more community support, home support and increas-ing home nursing where required.
As more capacity in the commu-nity comes on stream, it’s hoped there will be fewer people in hospital occupying beds and clogging the
flow of incoming patients.“Somebody might get an extra
hour or two a day of support in their home and it might prevent them from going to an emergency depart-ment or moving to higher levels of care,” Marchbank said. “I think that’s the area that will show some of the greatest return.”
A report released last week by the Integrated Care Advocacy Group argued government claims of shift-ing the emphasis to community care has so far been mainly talk rath-er than action, with the number of seniors receiving home support vir-tually unchanged in a dozen years, despite a doubling in the number of B.C. seniors.

Chilliwack has a higher per-centage of people with aborigi-nal roots, at about 9 per cent, compared to the Canadian average, at four or five per cent.

NewsRCMP seek fire witnesses
the time of the fire. We are relieved to say that everyone from the building is now account-ed for and thankful no one was injured,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail.
According to Assistant Fire Chief Mike Bourdon, one firefighter did sustain a minor injury while fighting the fire and was taken to hospital for observations.
Firefighters from all six Chilliwack halls responded to the blaze. They remained on scene Monday morning as an investigation into the incident continued.
Officials say the fire is suspicious, and RCMP and fire investi-
gators are looking into a cause.
“Investigators from Chilliwack Serious Crime Section, RCMP Forensic Identification Section and Chilliwack Fire Department con-tinue to look into the cause of the fire,” said Rail.
“The origin is sus-picious in nature and police believe the fire
was targeted,” he said.Lucas said he had
heard there was a dis-pute between a couple and the woman’s son – who was not supposed to be at the apartment – prior to the fire.
RCMP have asked any witnessed to call Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

The ‘hidden crime’On Monday members of the Chilliwack Crime Prevention Services
and Chilliwack Victim Services were at Eagle Landing to talk about an issue most of us would rather pretend doesn’t exist.
They call it a “hidden crime” – one that is rarely seen, but surpris-ingly prevalent.
June 15 was World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, and Chilliwack representatives were at the shopping centre to answer questions, offer advice and educate the public on the local resources that are available to victims of elder abuse, or those who suspect it’s taking place.
“Sadly we see abuse of our elders around us all of the time and it is heart breaking to know in many instances it is not reported,” said Darlene Wahlstrom, Chilliwack Victim Services co-ordinator.
The abuse can come in many forms. Sometimes it’s neglect, but often the abuse is physical, or emotional.
One of the more common forms of abuse is financial. Too often seniors fall prey to the unscrupulous and the manipulative. The abus-ers might be strangers, or family members, but their actions can have a devastating impact on the health and financial security of some our community’s most vulnerable.
Awareness and vigilance are the best tools to combat elder abuse.Says Wahlstrom: “A sudden change in wills, unusual bank withdraw-
als, a person rarely seen in the neighbourhood, someone frightened of certain family members or care givers, any unexplained injuries, or declining health – they can all be clues to abuse.”
Monday, June 15 is only one day a year. But elder abuse can and does occur anytime.
Chilliwack RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail calls it a “hidden crime,” because it’s often never reported. However, he urges the community not to keep it hidden. Talk about it, understand the warning signs and report your suspicions.
To learn more about elder abuse contact Chilliwack Crime Prevention Services at 604-393-3000 or stop by the office located at 45877 Wellington Avenue.

“I know everything, Daddy.”So proclaimed my daughter one
day in her third year of existence.Me too, I smiled.Last week, she graduated from
Grade 12.Those early words heralded a
child’s journey in an endless accu-mulation of knowledge.
Little did I realize at the time, my own all-knowing state would, in her view, diminish over the coming years – particularly in early teenhood, when dad would be frequently relegated to irrita-tion status.
As alarming as this was, I took solace in the fact that other fathers, and most mothers, were experiencing the same phenom-enon.
How could it be that we knew so much before our children were born, and carried that lofty mantle through their early years, yet watched as our titles
as Knowers of All Things Worth Knowing steadily morphed into The Perpetually Addled?
For young par-ents, there’s no need to be overly concerned about this.
Your wisdom doesn’t really become lost. The trick is to stay engaged and com-mitted through the process.
Be a relentlessly loving, patient teacher and sup-porter.
Through the process, your off-spring’s perception of your world-ly acuity becomes restored, albeit about a third of your lifetime later.
Here’s the other thing: While she’s learning, so are you.
It’s the most wonderful, con-founding, frustrating, rewarding,
utterly important adventure of your life, and before you know it, a large slice of it has been con-sumed.
As she walked across the stage last Thursday, accepting her diploma and scholarship acco-lades, I relived her first hours in this world, when we gazed into each other’s eyes, in equal won-derment.
I thought of the countless times we curled on the couch and read books. I remembered her amaze-ment and delight as we travelled to different parts of the world. And I ruefully recalled the fre-quent occasions in the not-too-distant past where I felt as though I was an incessantly barking dog.
What an incredible project, this parenting gig.
I’m not sure there can a greater sense of accomplishment.
The opportunity to make a ter-rible mess of it is really quite
immense. The potential to raise a smart, caring contributor to soci-ety is even more remarkable.
And, as probably most parents leaving the ceremonies last week were reminding themselves, it’s far from over – although there’s a measure of that, since many of us will see our grads leave home at the end of summer.
Like most aspects of parent-hood, descriptors of changes like “empty-nest syndrome” don’t begin to articulate the feelings.
Empty-heart syndrome is more like it.
From daily contact and interac-tion, family suppers every night, homework projects and weekend activities, to texts, phone calls and occasional visits?
Inconceivable, but real.How can a university possibly
take the place of “home?”Yet it does. And eventually, she
will have her own home, and we
would wish it no other way.Nevertheless, my role now
seems somewhat uncertain. For the past 18 years, it was so clearly, solidly defined.
Although, perhaps it doesn’t really change too much.
Give unconditional love. Provide unfaltering support.
All children deserve that from their parents. I did, and I am eternally grateful for it, and the opportunity to do so myself.
Now, my beautiful girl, step for-ward on your new path. Challenge yourself, and live your dreams. Care about your world.
No mom and dad could be prouder.
And as always, if you need me, I’ll be there.
But you know all that.
Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News and a former editor of the Chilliwack Progress.

This is what our beautiful little park looks like every morning around 5 a.m. before city crews go in to clean it up. A homeless junkie’s stolen shop-ping cart lies burned beside the pond. Cardboard box “mattresses” lie discarded and garbage and sheets, blankets and needles are everywhere. A great place to bring the kids!

Re: Hit and Run sends one man to Hospital, Chilliwack Progress, June 10
The referenced article sends a very strong message on the dangers awaiting at the corner of Hodgins Avenue and Mary Street.
The hit and run incident (June 4) was just the latest of many serious hits and near misses that happen at this location too frequently. A similar accident occurred here just a few weeks prior.
This is a hospital zone with very prominent signs: ‘Quiet Zone’ - ‘30 km/h Maximum Speed right through to Corbould’, but they don’t seem to have any effect on the strangely inattentive and
unscrupulous drivers, brazenly speeding by with cell phone pressed to the ear. Apparently, the amber light is being inter-preted to mean ‘speed up and don’t give someone already wait-ing in the intersection time to make their turn.’
I contacted city hall some years ago to paint a line to guide south-facing traffic on Mary Street making a left turn on to Hodgins. This would prevent drivers crossing through west bound traffic lanes. That line has long since disappeared. And if drivers fail to look around the left windshield post of their vehi-cle, it might be blocking a pedes-trian crossing the road.
It is becoming more danger-
ous, especially for pedestrian traffic; vehicles are getting larg-er and noisier, including motor-cycles.
Mufflers are being replaced with amplifiers to make even more noise. And this is a quiet hospital zone!
The city should take a close look at this situation; it’s not get-ting any better. It needs much better oversight, whether it be radar, cameras or whatever else. Drivers have too many signs to read and are paying less and less attention. There must be more incentives to encourage respon-sible driving.
Ed Dawdy
Reading a previous letter to the editor has encouraged me to write a letter back. (Young drivers need to take care, Chilliwack Progress, June 10.)
Reading that reckless driving is to be blamed on “driving schools and driving examiners” is actually quite unfair, seeing as there is no one to blame except the driver.
Being a new driver myself, I think it’s quite unfair to target a specific group of people with-out being very specific in your accusations. The majority of drivers that I witness breaking traffic laws are more experienced drivers who are out-side the Graduated Licensing Program (GLP). The average person speeds to work every day without thinking twice about traffic laws.
Most drivers in the GLP don’t want to risk los-ing their license due to distracted driving, this is why it is unfair to specifically target young driv-ers for something that everyone does.

‘Mosquitoes should be as bad as last year,’ Progress, June 5.
Mosquitoes may be a nuisance to us but an important food sup-ply for many countless fellow inhabitants of this planet. In fact if you could snap your fingers and
all mosquitoes on the face of the Earth would become extinct, it is quite likely we just might as well. They are a vital key in our food supply for sure.
The same goes for bees of every kind - not just the honey
bee.I’m not saying that mosquitoes
should be on the protected spe-cies list but I do believe that krill should be.

They travelled with her for close to 50 years from Surrey, to Richmond, North Delta, Langley, Kitsilano, West End, Ucluelet, Qualicum Beach. And they are now back in Chilliwack.
At one point, Stephens felt drawn to the traditional hand drum so she joined a drum cir-cle, and eventually met Eddie Gardner, a Skwah elder. While drumming and singing tradi-tional Sto:lo songs at the Sto:lo Elders Lodge with Gardner, the idea came to her.
Stephens realized in a flash of insight that the baskets needed to go back to the community that they came from.
“I was literally drumming and it came to me. It was so bizarre.”
She was deeply compelled to see them returned, and with Gardner’s help, decided they must have come from a local Sto:lo community, likely Skwah First Nation.
That’s where they had to go, she figured.
“It was as if I had been given a special message,” she said.
“It was a very profound moment for me.”
The gesture is already having ripple effects.
“It is wonderful,” said Eddie Gardner, when asked about the baskets’ homecoming. “It’s of great significance and impor-tance to us as People of the River.”
He remembers when the repa-triation idea struck Stephens.
“It hit her like a thunderbolt.”It’s very significant because
the Sto:lo people have great rev-erence for the cedar tree, and in stories they are seen as the tree of life.
These particular baskets were made with “great skill,” he says.
“The baskets are in remark-ably good condition and hav-ing them come back is a magic moment for us — and for Sharon,” said Gardner.
The Skwah leaders met and talked about the baskets, and are now anticipating their return with great delight, he said.
“It’s so special. There’s a won-derful energy emanating from them.”
They decided to hold a tra-
ditional ceremony for Stephens and the baskets at Skwah First Nation on Wellington Avenue on Sunday, June 21. They are wel-coming them back into the fold, and to warmly thank Stephens, with a lunch after the ceremony.
“It’s a gesture of respect. They wanted to thank her for having it in her heart to do this.”
Stephens said she is very hon-oured and grateful for the oppor-tunity, as she was honoured to be the guardian of the treasured baskets. Now she understands why she couldn’t unpack them when she got to Chilliwack.
It was because she was bring-ing them home at long last.
“It’s all falling into place now.”[email protected]/chwkjourno

In the heart of Greendale’s lush farm country, a group of women sit around a coffee table and chat about Kenya.
They talk about the dirty water the children drink there, the pan-demic HIV risks and the disease’s startling death rates, the lack of basic essentials and the need for better health care.
But mostly, they speak about the wid-ows of Kakamega. And when they say the women’s names, they smile and reminisce.
Margaret. Alice. Jacinta.
Because these Kenyan women are not statistics they read about in the news. These are women they have met, face to face. They’ve shared meals with them and their children, prayed with them, and helped them create a better life.
“These are the most courageous women I have ever met,” says Mary Anne Westeringh.
She first met the women in 2013, while tagging along with her husband on a trip with the Chilliwack-based charitable organization
Hungry For Life. “What I saw and
experienced will be imprinted in my mind forever,” she says. Upon returning home, she rallied together sev-eral other women to put together their own del-egation to return to the area. In the meantime, they fundraised and sent money to HFL’s field partner, Edwin Napali. By the time the Chilliwack women returned to Kakamega last October, a brand new well was bringing
fresh water directly to a local school. A dedica-tion ceremony was held upon their arrival, and the women were shown the old path to the for-mer water source.
Before the well was built, the school teach-er, Beatrice, had to travel to a filthy water source for their drink-ing and washing water. She had to make the two kilometre trip sev-eral times a day, filling their five-gallon buck-ets with brown, sedi-ment-filled water.
“This dirty water is their lifeline,” says Fran Westeringh, who visited last fall with Mary Anne. The long walk is also a danger-ous one for young girls fetching water alone.
Providing a safer, healthier lifestyle for the widows of the area and the children under their care has become a passion for the Chilliwack women. On their previous trip they helped 14 women ages 30 to 80), most who have been widowed from AIDS. Some are young mothers, others are grandparents still working and caring for multiple generations.

Community
A local lifeline for Kenya
Mary Anne Westeringh holds a jar of drinking water from Kenya. She, along with Fran Westeringh, Arlene Pede, Heather Stam and Janie Both, make up some of the group of women who are travelling to Kenya in October with a focus on helping mainly single moms and grandmothers. Also seen here are images from their last trip to Kenya. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

produce at roadside stands, and menial farm labour is a com-mon line of work in the area.
There are numerous projects the Chilliwack women have put into place. On their last visit, they brought along hand-sewn, washable and re-usable feminine hygiene pack-ages. They showed them how to use them,
how to clean them, and how long to wear them. They also brought along basic medical supplies and acetamin-ophen. Without access to hygiene products (due to poverty and availability issues), the women are at further risk for infections and illnesses. Many are left with no option but to sit in their rooms during menstruation, missing a week of school or work unnecessarily.
When the women return this October, they will be taking more of the packages.
“And more soap,” says Jane Both. “The more you go the more you realize how little they have. They don’t even have access to soap.”
But they are careful not to just hand out items and leave. They are also helping with a gardening education program that teaches
the women how to grow more vegetables, in the same space and with less water. Women that attend the classes are given a cow to help sustain their families, and they are asked to share the knowledge among their commu-nity.
“Hungry for Life is really about sustain-ability,” Mary Anne
says. The eight women
who are going in October are paying their own way for the trip, again, and are fundraising to help purchase the sup-plies they’ll be taking along. They are also fundraising for the big-ger projects they have planned. In the past they’ve built and fixed
homes and purchased new mattresses and covers for an orphan-age.
They are plan-ning a fundraiser on Saturday, June 20, at the Chilliwack Free Reformed Church on Yale Road (behind the Service Canada build-ing). Group member Arlene Pede has been busy making pies, and
Heather Strahl and Jane Both are working on traditional stroop-waffles, which will be on sale from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. They’ll also be running a bottle drive from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., and all refundables can be dropped off there.
To learn more, stop by to meet the ladies, or visit hungryforlife-teams.org.

Jam night is every Thursday at the Triple Play Pub at Five Corners in down-town Chilliwack.
Like acoustic music? Metal? Rockabilly? Or how about some classic rock?
No problem. There’s a musical genre for almost everybody on a typical night of jamming.
Local musician Bill Fulton and the house band, Cueball, lay down a mean groove, and a variety of talented musicians get up on stage and join them.
“Anybody can get up and do their thing,” says Fulton.”
There’s usually a good crowd out to see the live music.
They can do a dozen sets in a night, usu-ally about three songs each.
Bass player Fulton took over the jam night coordination last year and it’s been
growing steadily.Jammers bring their own instruments
and axes.The amps, drums, microphones and PA
are all in place already at the bar.“There are no real rules at this jam.
They can get up and do a song, or a few tunes,” he says. “It’s been going well.”
Lots of local musicians appreciate the chance to get up on a local stage every week. Some are there to test out some original tunes. Others come for a little fun.
“They’re thankful that we’re doing it here. It’s kind of a family atmosphere. Some come to practise and jam, while oth-ers come to network and promote what they’re up to.”
Professionals and veterans get paired up with the newbies.
“Every week it’s a pleasant surprise,” says Fulton. “There is a lot of talent in this town. It sure beats sitting at home on the couch and watching TV.”
It’s an eclectic mix of players who have been popping into the jam at Triple Play.
One of them is singer-songwriter Gerry Hannah, who took the stage to play a few originals from his solo album Coming Home at a recent jam. And the crowd was loving it.
Hannah was one of the founders and bass player for Vancouver punk band the Subhumans for more than 20 years. His stage name was Gerry Useless, and with the Subhumans he wrote some of the more memorable punk tunes on this side of the pond.
His latest tunes are more in a folk rock vein, and include updated versions from the album, Songs from Underground. Some were penned in the wake of his activism and civil disobedience with Direct Action and as a member of Squamish Five, which he ended up doing 10 years in Matsqui Prison for.
The jam is sweet at Triple Play Pub
Focus on the family at festival
The Harrison Festival of the Arts is known around the world for creative and diverse pro-gramming.
That will continue this summer but with an added focus on celebrating family, in all its vari-ous forms. Running from July 11 to 19 in beautiful Harrison Hot Springs, the 2015 Harrison Festival will feature both a family inspired lineup and new family friendly pricing.
“The heart of our festival’s mandate is community develop-ment through the sharing and embrac-ing of diversity,” says Festival artistic direc-tor Andy Hillhouse. “The celebration of a broad concept of family, one that tran-scends bloodlines, and reaches out rath-er than excludes, fits well with that.”
Consistent with this interwoven theme of family, this year’s Festival lineup showcases acts from diverse cultural back-grounds in which music has been passed on through the generations.
Evening hall performer Bassekou Kouyaté, from Mali, is known as the ‘Jimi Hendrix of the Ngoni’, a West African lute. He learned to play this ancient instrument from his father and grand-father, and in turn has taught his sons Moustafa and Mamadou. Along with his wife, vocalist Amy Sacko, his sons are members of his band Ngoni Ba, who will be performing in the Memorial Hall Saturday, July 18. Other hereditary African musicians at the Festival will be Vancouver-based Senegalese kora player Boujou Cissoko and percussionist Yoro Noukoussi from Benin, who will be collaborating especially for their Sunday, July 19 Beach Stage performance. From a totally different part of the world, the Iranian family-based group Vashaan Ensemble represent the sophistication of the Vancouver Persian music

KING FOR A DAY! Father’s Day
Gather around the grill this Father’s DayDirections:Preheat the grill to medium and turn down to low. Prepare ribs
for grilling by removing the membrane from the underside of the ribs. Prepare several foil envelopes and place 2 strips of ribs into each envelope, with 1/4 cup of water and seal tightly. Cook for 2 to 21/2 hours on low (300*F) with the lid closed. Check the thermom-eter on the front of the grill lid frequently and adjust the cooking temperature accordingly. This may require turning one or two burn-ers off and cooking indirectly.
To prepare the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and set aside until the ribs are ready to remove from the foil. Gently heat the sauce on the side burner for 10 to 15 minutes before using.
Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and place on grids. Baste generously with sauce, and grill for 10 minutes per side, leaving the lid open, turning several times, and basting with sauce after each turn.
Heat remaining sauce to a boil and then allow it to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve on the side as a dipping sauce.

Dad gets to be king of his castle at least one day during the year. Come mid-June, children near and far scramble for ideas to treat their fathers to a special day and award him with gifts for being a role model, pro-vider and confidante. Father’s Day activities should be centered around Dad’s interests. With that in mind, the following are some ideas to honour Dad or another special man in your life.
* Sports Sunday: If Dad is a sports fan, his idea of spending a fun-filled afternoon very well may be cheering on his favourite players. Whether your father enjoys golf, tennis, baseball, soccer, or another sport like hunting or fishing, chances are there is a television broadcast on that you can watch together. Otherwise, you can surprise Dad by purchasing tickets to a sporting event and making a day of it at the ballpark.
* Beach bound: A relaxing day at the beach may be the perfect way to spend Father’s Day. Dad can
enjoy the entire family while sitting back in his beach chair and watching the waves roll in. Pack a picnic lunch with his favourite foods and a cold beer, and Dad may just say this was his best celebration yet.
* Adventure seeker: If yours is a father who enjoys living on the edge, a Father’s Day activity built around action and adven-ture should be a winner. Take Dad base jumping, rock climbing, scuba diving, or race car driving. Any of these activities is bound to get Dad’s adrenaline pumping.
* R&R: Dad’s idea of the perfect Father’s Day may be an afternoon free of obligations and deadlines. A relaxing day in the yard swimming laps in the pool or hitting a few grounders to your waiting baseball mitt may be all the excitement he needs. Toss a few steaks on the grill to give Father’s Day a truly perfect ending.
* Impromptu party: Some dads like to be the center of attention. A Father’s Day party thrown in his honour, complete with friends and fam-ily, can be an entertaining way to spend the day. If you are worried about interrupting oth-ers’ Father’s Day plans, host the gathering on the Saturday before Father’s Day and let Dad be the life of the party. Finger foods, barbecue, a lim-ited list of cocktails and other beverages and some back-ground music are all that you need to host a festive func-tion.

SceneArt programs gear up for summer
Parents know the real challenge of vacation every summer is keep-ing those kids entertained.
Luckily Chilliwack has many great options to choose from.
There are programs that will spur imagination and creativity at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, and at the Chillwack Art Council’s Art Room.
At the Cultural Centre, pro-grams range from music and arts and crafts projects to stage act-ing and digital photography, The Centre’s Summer Art Camps are the perfect place to let the kids explore their creativity.
Best of all, the new flexible scheduling makes it easier than ever. Register for a class and the kids will participate in that activ-ity at that scheduled time from Monday to Friday.Acting out:
Start the summer with a taste of the performing arts; from stage acting to show tunes! Theatre is a chance to create, inspire, and discover what it means to walk in someone else’s shoes. Build con-fidence, creativity, and teamwork skills – not to mention have a whole lot of fun! Magic Mud and Yay for Clay:
Get ready to get messy – and make some really cool stuff. The
pottery classes are the perfect place to explore an exciting skill, get a taste of the arts, and get those hands good and dirty all at the same time. Get Musical:
Pick up an instrument and warm up those vocal chords; it’s time for a musical summer! Imagine yourself around a roar-ing campfire in Campfire Songs & Games for all the fun of camping (with none of the mosquitoes!) or learn how to strum along with Ukulele Campfire Songs. For more
advanced techniques in creating your own music, we have Beginner Guitar Intensive for ages 11-14, and plenty of chances for younger students to get their first taste of making music in The Cup Game and a whole array of classes that get kids singing along to their favourite Disney, summer time, and camping songs! Get crafty, get creative:
Jump into a variety of arts and crafts – from under the sea-themed adventures, to creating masks or
Hailey Shand, Lexa Villette, and Sydney Hague (left to right) are help-ing with the Chilliwack Arts Council’s summer programs for kids.

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase
of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for
our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from
the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more
revenue for their product. And Government will
collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend
on programs such as health care, education and
other services that benefit all British Columbians.
Plus, we can invest in new training programs and
create new jobs for our youth.

“Due to the limited resources I had while in prison in terms of instru-mentation, recording and production capabilities, I had always hoped that I might someday be able to re-record the songs,” Hannah writes on his web-site.
“As a result, 7 of the 14 songs that appear on Coming Home origi-nally appeared on Songs From Underground. Of the remaining 7 songs, a few of them were written dur-ing the last few years of my imprison-ment and the rest were written since my release.
In a way, the songs on Coming Home represent an emotional history for me: a snapshot of how I was feeling and what I was thinking back then and to a lesser extent, since then as well.”

Asked if he knows who Goose and Maverick were, Baker Douglas flashed a grin and said, “Yeah, I’ve seen that one. Top Gun!”
It’s refreshing to know at least one 17 year old is still aware of the Tom Cruise fighter-jet epic, circa 1986, released in theatres 12 years before Douglas was born.
But that’s not the Top Gun he really wanted to talk about.
Douglas, a star wideout on the GW Graham varsity football squad, is excited about the football version — a mid-July gathering of the best of the best in high school football in Dublin, OH.
Douglas earned his invite to Top Gun with a flawless performance at a Football University (FBU) camp, held the last weekend of May in Seattle, WA.
He was one of just three receivers taken from the 40 who attended, out-per-forming players from AAAA and AAAAA schools in Washington State, Oregon and Idaho.
It was a three day camp with a heavy emphasis on technique.
The Chilliwack kid didn’t even catch a ball on day one, spending all his time on fun-damentals and classwork.
Day two focused on foot-work followed by drills on route running and beating press coverage.
“Then we went to three-on-twos and seven-on-sev-ens, and that’s kind of where I shine,” Douglas said. “I was able to get separation from most of the defensive backs I faced and catch the ball when I needed to.”
Day three was a show-off day, and a chance for Douglas to make one final impression on FBU evalu-ators.
“Charlie Collins worked with the (NFL’s San Francisco) 49ers and
(Cincinnati) Bengals and (New York) Giants, and he’s one of the top receiver coach-es in the nation,” Douglas explained. “He filled out a bunch of evaluation sheets for me afterwards showing good footwork, great catch-ing and great ball security.”
“He also said my foot-ball IQ was off the charts,” Douglas added proudly.
It was the second year Douglas attended this camp, facilitated by NCSA Athletics Recruiting.
Douglas, who will gradu-ate from GW Graham next June, has been working with NCSA to find post-second-ary opportunities, and they recommended FBU.
“As far as I know, the only way you can get there is through an NCSA invite,” Douglas said. “If you do well enough you get invited to Top Gun, and then hopefully the Army Bowl.”
The Army Bowl is an annual showcase game for high school stars that lists among its alumni NFL stars like Andrew Luck, Jamaal Charles, Patrick Peterson, Adrian Peterson, Odell Beckham Jr., DeMarco Murray, Eric Berry, LeSean McCoy and Sammy Watkins.
That’s in Texas in early January and it’s the ultimate dream. But just getting to Top Gun is a massive achievement.
“Getting the Top Gun invite makes me a candi-date for a lot of the pro-grams I’ve been looking at,” said Douglas, who’s already had an unofficial visit to Willamette University (Salem, OR) and has been offered a visit to Puget Sound University (Tacoma, WA).
Douglas has watched for-mer GWG teammates go through the university pro-cess. At his position, Jake Creasey graduated and went on to the university of Manitoba.
Last season, it was Treyvon Walsh committing to the University of Alberta.
“I don’t have all the details, but as far as I know I think they both paved their own way to get where they are,” Douglas said. “The recruit-ing agency has helped tre-mendously, putting me out there for any school to see. My height and weight. My academics, grades, stats and all that. They’ve made it significantly easier than it
would have been if I tried to do it myself.”
Douglas mentioned divi-sion two earlier, which is a realistic goal.
“Collins said I could be a valuable asset for any Div 2 team in the United States,” the teenager said. “I think I matched up fairly well against the other guys I saw in Seattle. Most guys
were around my size and skill level, and I think my technique gave me an edge on some of them.”
Douglas hopes a strong showing at Top Gun will spring-board him into the 2015 high school season with his Grizzlies.
Ranked second among all varsity teams in BC, GWG is taking aim at a provincial
crowd.Douglas would be a big
part of any title march.“I’d like to spend the sea-
son hitting the gym, getting stronger and more explo-sive,” he said. “Team wise, next season will be success-ful if we work together to get that championship.”

The City of Chilliwack is implementing an automated billing system to invoice property owners for false alarms which will come into full effect in September 2015.
City of Chilliwack, 8550 Young Rd, Chilliwack, BC Canada V2P 8A4 | 604-792-9311
What is a false alarm?A false alarm is the activation of an alarm system resulting in the attendance of the RCMP or the Fire Department at the property when there is no apparent or actual evidence to merit such a call. (See Bylaw No. 3747 for a full description.)
Why is the City implementing this bylaw?Starting in September 2015 the City will invoice property owners for false alarms in order to encourage people to reduce false alarms, which cause an unnecessary expense and take RCMP members or fire fighters away from real emergencies.
Ensure that your security company calls you first in the event of an alarm.
Thank you for taking steps today to ensure you minimize false alarms. Please visit chilliwack.com/falsealarm for more information.
How can I avoid getting invoiced for a false alarm?

A Friday night fun-draiser at Chilliwack’s Duke’s Country Pub will benefit children who are battling cancer.
Organized by Abbotsford native Bob Ahuja, the fundraiser will see Duke’s serve up a roast beef buffet dinner at a cost of $20 per ticket.
Ahuja is participat-ing in this year’s Sears National Kids Cancer Ride.
Cyclists are respon-sible to raise $25,000, which he’s done the previous three years.
In 2012 Ahuja was part of a team that rode all the way to Halifax, NS, and that’s where he’ll be cycling to this year.
In 2013 he rode to Winnipeg and last year he ended up in Toronto. Ahuja has also done the Ride to Conquer Cancer four times.
The Sears National Kids Cancer Ride starts Sept. 10 in Vancouver and takes 17 days to complete.
Riding in relay style, cyclists cover between 150 km and 220 km (approximately) per day.
At the start and end of each day they par-ticipate in community events, including visits to many of Canada’s 17 pediatric oncology cen-tres and hospitals.
The Sears National Kids Cancer Ride is into its eighth year, and info is available at searsna-tionalkidscancerride.com/

It is with profound sadness that we an-
nounce that James “Jim” Walter Norberg
passed away peacefully on May 31, 2015
in Armstrong, BC at the age of 92 years.
Born in Revelstoke, BC on March 4, 1923, the
son of Otto Norberg and Hanna Edstrom, who immigrated to
Canada in 1903 from Sweden. Jim was the youngest of a family
of 7 brothers and sisters: Edith, Alvin, Lillian, Ruth, Harry,
and Johnny. Jim is predeceased by his wife of 55 years, Isabella
(Bella) who sadly passed away in 2008. Jim is also predeceased
by his son Kenny, who passed away in 1970.
He is survived by his loving family: 2 daughters Christine
(Norman) Cress of Victoria BC; Patricia (Robert) Cherry of
Armstrong BC; his son Eric (Carol) Norberg of Coquitlam
BC; 6 grandchildren, Rosalie (Matthew Prescott) Cress, Denise
(Ryan) Leyenhorst, Sonia Holloway, Jessica, Scott and Johnny
Norberg; 9 great grandchildren, Matthew, Nathan, Emily, Jacob,
Bella, Marcus, Theodore, Rachel and Maxwell; sister-in-law Eva
Sutherland of Nanaimo; and nieces, nephews and extended
family.
Jim was a special man – wise, playful, caring, and smart, a
great communicator, a good and loyal friend to so many, and
a calm presence when needed. He was a high school teacher
for over 30 years, a Gizeh Shriner and a Mason, a minor league
hockey coach, a baseball umpire, a skier, and a clarinet player.
He loved to work with his hands and was good at carpentry.
He served honourably in the Second World War in the Air Force
in Canada and in the Navy for 3 years on active duty on the
High Seas. He was a brave person who faced adversity with
strength and dignity.
And what a proud father and grandfather he was! Family was
always fi rst and foremost in his life.
A sincere thank you to Dr. Viljoen and all the staff at Pleasant
Valley Manor who cared for him like he was family.
A Memorial Service of Jim’s life will be held in the Chapel of
Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Ave, Chilliwack BC
on Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 2:00 PM, with a reception to follow
in the Henderson’s Tea Room. Major Angus Haggarty, Branch 4
Royal Canadian Legion Padre, offi ciating.

With deep sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.
Clare is survived by his loving wife Maria, their children Richard (Kathy), David, and James; his grandchil-dren Kristen (Nick) and Cameron (AprilLyn); his sister Norma Keating (Chilliwack) and brother Dale (Elaine) Blake (Swift Current, SK); and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents and sister Doreen Clarke.
Clare was born to Olive & Richard Blake in Hazenmore, Saskatch-ewan. He grew up on the family farm, and received all his public school education in Hazenmore. He attended Normal School in Moose Jaw, SK.
He joined the RCAF and served overseas as a Flight Lieutenant during World War II. When he returned home he attended the University of Saskatchewan, graduating with a BA and a BEd. While employed in Weyburn, SK he met the love of his life, Maria Marchand; they were married in November 1954. Clare reenlisted in the RCAF, and was stationed in several bases across Canada from 1954 to 1969. In 1969, they moved to Chilliwack. He worked at Regional Psychiatric Centre in Abbotsford.
Clare made many friends while playing Bridge and Cribbage. He spent many happy hours in his wood-work shop creating interesting and useful items for family and friends. He liked to read, listen to music and old radio programs, and play Computer Chess. He was a “regular” at McDonald’s. For many years he visited the YMCA – he learned to swim when he was 70 years old.
His only grandson, Cameron, posted this Facebook entry:
RIP Grandpa – a WW2 veteran, a teacher, a student of life, and so much more to everyone you touched during your time on Earth. You are from the greatest generation, and they will never make them like you again. Two weeks shy of your 93rd birthday, I can only hope to live as long and as happy as you. Thank you for teaching us that the moments in life that mean the most are the ones you spend with your family and friends. You were a role model, a mentor, and a friend to all of us when we needed it the most. You were witty until the end, always making everyone feel more comfortable in your typical selfl ess and caring way. You will live on through all of us, and I am proud to
wear your name on my back for the rest of my life.
A celebration of life will be held at their home 47539 Swallow Crescent from 1 PM – 3 PM on Friday, June 26th. Please no fl owers. If you wish, please send a donation to Research for Prostate Cancer or to a charity of your choice.
Our thanks to Dr. Bull and all the special, caring staff and volunteers at Cascade Hospice.

Nicholas (Nick) Charles Lang, aka Kasper the Kid, died
unexpectedly on June 9th, 2015 at the age of 15 while

uel Lang, Krista and Katelyn McKay, Drew Tenpas, and
Penelope and Freddie Torok; his grandparents Hank and

him, seeking his attention. In recent
years, “Kasper the Kid” grew very
fond of hip-hop / rap genre of music

he was on this earth, he made
a lasting positive impact on
numerous people around him
