Parents support early French immersion, says report

■ L ET ’ S D ANCE

Alina Konevski The Progress

Chilliwack parents overwhelmingly support starting an early French immersion program in elementary schools, according to the Early French Immersion Feasibility Study presented to the school board on Tuesday. But there are serious practical challenges to setting up the program. Of those interviewed for the study, 82 per cent – the vast majority parents – voted ‘yes’ to a program that introduces students to French immersion in kindergarten or Grade 1. This would likely replace the current late French immersion (LFI) program which begins at Grade 6. The study, conducted from Oct. 2012 to Jan. 2013, evaluated the community interest, infrastructure requirements, and alignment to existing policies, of an early French immersion (EFI) program. Independent consultant Nancy Brennan, from Make A Future, the recruitment arm of BC Public School Employers’ Association, led the study. One component was a self-selected public survey, which was available on the school district website Dec. 4–21. 377 people replied. Respondents were 92 per cent parents, and represented all elementary schools. Parents who supported the program often had personal experience with French immersion, valued the career advancement it would provide, believed the additional learning challenge would be welcome, and that it would attract students to the district. 68 per cent of survey respondents replied that they would move their kids to another school in the district for EFI. Parents who opposed the program, however, were concerned that it would take funds away from other core programs; that French was not the most appropriate second language to offer to students; that there would be a negative impact on English learning; and, that the district might not find qualified staff. Even those who supported the program were unsure whether before- and after-school supervision would be available, which school would be selected, and whether there would be transportation.

No let up in chlorination debate Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Debate is still percolating about the chlorination of Chilliwack’s drinking water. The decision was made last week to add a secondary disinfectant to the water system for the growing community, on the heels of three incidents of E.coli detected in hillside water reservoirs since 1998. “It’s really about public safety and trying to do what’s right for everybody,” said Dr. Marcus Lem, medical health officer for Fraser Health. He is the official with statutory power under the B.C. Drinking Water Protection Act to order

city officials to turn on the chlorination system permanently in Chilliwack. He and Mayor Sharon Gaetz have been in the news for having a difference of opinion about the prospect of chlorination. “I am a doctor. I don’t make the laws. I enforce them,” he said. Fraser Health has tried to work with the city to resolve the problem of E.coli contamination in the water from fecal matter of warm-blooded animals, but the organisms were present more than once in the past several years. “It comes down to a question of how long can you con-

tinue to be drinking poo in your water,” he said. The question of health concerns came up. What about health side effects from chlorinated water? “There are almost none, especially for Chilliwack,” Lem said. Because Chilliwack has an underground source of drinking water, and not a surface source, there are no organic or plant-based materials present to react with the disinfectant to create by-products, like a chemical taste and smell. “I have no health concerns for Chilliwack, although I know the mayor does,” he said. There are “no appreciable”

risks in this case, when it comes to drinking water treated with a secondary disinfectant like chlorine, Lem told the Progress. The amounts of disinfectant will be so small as to not likely affect the award-winning taste and smell, the doctor said. “The chlorine that’s left in the water by the time it reaches tap is literally a drop in a bucket,” Lem said. Communities with a surface water supply have more to worry about. But the majority of Chilliwackians making their views known are not convinced.

Fraser gravel removal plan could be abandoned Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Timing and consultation concerns raised by Cheam First Nation have put a program to remove gravel from the Fraser River near Chilliwack on hold. “This will be the third year of not being able to proceed,” Carol Loski, director of the flood protection program of Emergency Management B.C., told the Progress Tuesday. “As of today we are looking at abandoning the idea of removing sediment this year.” The 2013 plan had originally proposed removal of 230,000 cubic

metres, and it would have meant an estimated 16 gravel trucks an hour travelling to sites on the Gill and Hamilton bars, near Chilliwack. A Feb. 4 letter from Cheam Chief Sidney Douglas stated that the duty to protect their aboriginal title and rights “requires a substantive engagement process that takes into account the concerns of our people.” Impacts on traditional land uses and fish habitat, and the need to be included on the technical team and decision-making were cited in the letter. “To date Cheam has not been consulted nor provided with all the

necessary information to form the basis of a meaningful consultation process,” Douglas wrote. But Loski said the Cheam were included in the overall consultation process, as well as that which was mandated through the permitting process for gravel removal. “I have had regular contact with them, and feel comfortable saying yes we have consulted with them,” said the EMBC rep, adding that perhaps they’re seeking “more robust” consultation. Another factor is that the sixto-eight-week fisheries window, where water levels are lowest, is about to close, affecting when

in-stream gravel can be safely removed from the river with minimal impacts on the environment. “The timing is one of the biggest elements,” said Loski. They already lost more than a dozen working days in the fisheries window, meaning they likely wouldn’t be able to extract the proposed amount of sediment for 2013. Marvin Rosenau, member of the Fraser River Gravel Stewardship Committee, said the goal is obtaining a long-term hydraulic modelling plan for the river. “It’s good to hear,” he said about the prospect that gravel mining

plans are on hold this year. “None of the committee members believe it is a flood protection issue at stake. But if it truly is a flood protection issue, show us the money. We need a clear hydraulic model with comparisons from decade to decade.” Loski said a new hydraulic model was forthcoming by Forests, Lands and Natural Resources officials. It was supposed to be part of a “parallel process” this year whereby they remove gravel at the same time as working on a longterm gravel management plan. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Chilliwack bids farewell to the penny BC Tories

pick their candidates

Alina Konevski The Progress

For the past 155 years, the humble 1¢ brown coin has diligently soldiered on through trillions of sales, helping Canadians to a world of exact change. As the price of bread has gone from five pennies to five hundred, the poor penny has become increasingly ostracized and cumbersome. Now officially declared an expensive nuisance, its demise is complete: since Feb. 4, the Royal Canadian Mint has stopped issuing the penny altogether. Citizens nationwide are unceremoniously dumping kilos upon kilos of the maple leaf-bearing coin at every grocery store, bank, and charity box they can find, the pennies all part of the 34 billion minted since 1858. Chilliwack’s TD Canada Trust at Yale Road and Young Road is sending $500 in pennies to the central bank every week. That’s about 150 kg of the copper-plated penny from this branch alone. There’s no telling how many more coins are coming in to the city’s other dozens of banks, credit unions, and cash stores. The pennies are all headed back to the Mint, where the metal will be recycled. As always, people returning pennies to a bank must roll them. Otherwise, one can request a bank bag that holds $25 worth of pennies – fill the bag to the

brim, and bring it in. And according to the Currency Act, customers can’t use more than 25 of the coins in any single purchase – although many retailers are overlooking this technicality in the current penny frenzy. The hassle of rolling a coin that’s not worth its own metal means that people are donating a lot of pennies to various charity drives around town. The Chilliwack Community Services collected almost $4,000 in pennies (nearly half a million coins) for their Penny for Your Tots campaign. Promontory

Heights Elementary School students collected 132,000 of the coin for Free the Children in late November. And the TD branch at Yale and Young has received nearly $300 in pennies for the B.C. Children’s Hospital. With the penny gone, cash sales are being rounded to the nearest nickel. So, giving a $5 bill for a $4.98 purchase won’t provide you with any change. But because the nickel is still ready to leap into action, the odds of receiving a few cents more, or a few cents less, on a purchase are

exactly the same. A final, after-tax price of $1.01 and $1.02, for example, will be rounded down to a buck. $1.03 to $1.07 turn into $1.05, and prices of $1.08 and $1.09 become a loonie and a dime. Neither the TD Bank, nor local grocer Hofstede’s Country Barn, has noticed an imbalance in their accounting. And since a huge proportion of all economic transactions are electronic or by cheque – which are still done to the nearest 1¢ – the impact on people’s wallets should be, well, no more than a few pennies.

Or none at all, if one’s transactions are all by card. Pennies will remain legal tender indefinitely, but it’s up businesses to decide whether or not to accept them. It now costs 60% more to make the one-cent coin, than the coin is worth, so a penny saved is no longer a penny earned. The government calculated that by not manufacturing the penny, Canadian tax-payers will save $11 million annually. But can we really put a price on historic service? akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/WriteInBC

The BC Conservatives have selected their local candidates for the May provincial election. Michael Henshall will run for MLA of Chilliwack/Hope, and Chad Eros was acclaimed for the Chilliwack riding. “For too long, the past two decades, we the people of B.C. have stood idly by and allowed the provincial two-party system to serve special interest groups while the hardworking taxpayer pays the bills,” Henshall told supporters on Saturday. Henshall previously worked in real estate, fishing, construction, and taught English as a Second Language. He has three children with his wife of 15 years, Robin, and the family regularly volunteers for the hospice. Henshall is also a member of several environmental organizations. Banker and management consultant Eros previously ran for city council, coming in 18th out of 20 candidates. He has nine children with wife Trisha. “When I realized that there weren’t very many people coming forward to challenge what looked like was going to be an NDP win by acclimation, I put my name in to represent all conservative, free market-minded people,” says Eros. The candidate isn’t concerned that this very move might split the right-wing vote. “The Liberal party hasn’t acted like a free enterprise party in the last term anyway, and they have no plans on reversing any of their barrier-to-entry policy. I don’t think there is a free market party without BC Conservatives running,” he says.

Collision stats mean changes for Traffic Unit

Tired of Waiting in Line?

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

The numbers have been crunched. Downtown Chilliwack was the area of the city with the highest incidence of vehicle crashes in 2012. RCMP crime analyst Raman Dhaliwal recently studied the latest data on traffic collisions, and the results are driving changes for the local Traffic Unit. For example, most collisions happened on a Friday or Saturday, between noon and four p.m. “It does not make sense for us to be working at times when collisions are at their lowest,” said Cpl. Lee Dyson of the Chilliwack Traffic Unit. “These statistics are an invaluable resource to us that we will use to guide our enforcement.” There were 420 crashes logged, with 215 including property damages, and 205 with injuries. Eight were hit-and-run incidents. Most of the collisions causing injury were during the month of August. The fewest number were recorded on Sundays or Thursdays. The traffic unit will be using the data to map out shifts, and officials are asking that motorists be aware of the latest stats, and drive with due caution and consideration.

News Board yet to decide on early French immersion the existing plans for enlarging schools and the increases in enrollment, the board will not approve an EFI program. “With just the infrastructure costs alone, they won’t go for it,” she said outside of the board meeting. She believes this is a short-sighted approach, because the program would attract teachers and students. Andreassen is considering driving her kids, one who is currently in Kindergarten, and another starting in 2014, to Abbotsford for the city’s French immersion program. She felt the survey was not publicized enough, and she only found it through a Facebook group, Parents for Early French Immersion in Chiliwack. The Ministr y of Education provides a set amount per student for the EFI program — for one Kindergarten and one Grade 1 class in Chilliwack, the total would be $18,000 — but this cannot be used for staffing, and will not fully cover the other costs. The board did not discuss how it would fill the funding gap. Clint Johnston, president of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association, strongly supports an EFI program, and believes the survey highlighted a real need. “I think we’ve drifted away from what public education is about, and that’s creating welleducated but also wellrounded people with lots

BOARD from Front The Chilliwack school district is already stressed with high population growth, which takes up all available teaching capacity and physical space. An elementary EFI program, for instance, would need at least six classrooms. And LFI and EFI could not be easily combined, since students in LFI are in separate middle schools, and would have trouble keeping up with their EFI peers. In the immediate years, the district would need EFI, LFI, and intermediary programs to make the transition possible. “It seems at this time that there is no one centrally located elementary school site in Chilliwack that could accommodate the early French immersion program for Kindergarten to Grade 6 without causing significant overcrowding, and/ or disruption to existing catchment area boundaries,” Brennan told the school board and public on Tuesday night. These are B.C.-wide problems. All French immersion programs suffer from lack of bilingual staff, limited classroom space, and insufficient funding — which contributes to more students seeking the program, than spots available. Kim Andreassen, a parent who went through French immersion herself, feels that with Chilliwack’s fast development, and

of opportunities who can participate actively in government,” says Johnston, who regrets that a lack of funding is threatening to block a program that has broad community support. If the board approves the program, the report recommends a Sept. 2014 start date, allowing the district to develop policies, hire staff, and

McGrath has accepted a position with the Vancouver Hospice Society and will be spearheading the opening of their hospice beds. Under McGrath’s leadership the Chilliwack Hospice Society has seen major growth in programing, community engagement and capacity as an organization to respond to the needs of the community, said board president Ann Ramsbottom. “The Board of Directors would like to thank McGrath for her leadership and commitment to hospice care and wish her all the best in Vancouver,” she said. The Society has already begun an active search for a new executive director.

A man renowned for his medical insights, and loved for his community involvement, was honored with the first-ever ChilliwackHope Citizenship Award at a ceremony in Chilliwack on Thursday. Dr. Ernie Murakami, a noted and sometimes controversial expert on lyme disease, practiced medicine in Hope for almost five decades. Now retired, he remains committed to the community of Hope, where his love of sports, music and political activism has earned him the region’s respect. The award was presented by ChilliwackHope MLA Gwen O’Mahony as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal presentations. While the selection committee was honing its list of deserving nominees, said O’Mahony, it decided to create an award that could be presented annually. “It just wasn’t enough to have a one-time event,” she said. Murakami’s career in medicine was born out of a desire to help others after watching the death of a friend and the near-death of his sister. Emerging desperately poor from a Japanese internment camp following the end of the Second World War, he was aided in pursuing his dream to study medicine. He graduated from UBC medical school in 1958 and joined a medical practice in Hope, where he has lived ever since. Murakami is wellknown in the community, not just because of a medical practice that spanned nearly half a century, but also because of his involvement. Active in the local Lions Club, he’s also an avid hockey fan and referee. He helped build the Hope Arena, the Fraser Hope Lodge, and fought for the preservation of the Fraser Canyon Hospital. During this time, Murakami’s fascination with lyme disease grew. The disease is spread

Driving to distraction

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

A provincial crackdown on distracted driving by police during the month of February is a welcome step. Police say statistics show that 30 per cent of traffic deaths are due to distracted drivers, with 37 per cent of serious injuries in crashes attributed to drivers not paying proper attention to the road. These are staggering numbers and beg the question — why has so much effort been put into tightening up drinking and driving laws, and so little towards distracted drivers? Drivers talking on cellphones or texting are the most commonly-distracted, but there are many reasons that drivers become distracted. Eating while driving can be a big distraction, as can driving with pets in the front seat. Children can at times distract drivers as well. Police will be on the lookout for all kinds of distractions during February, and chances are they won’t have much trouble spotting some. Despite a law that is now three years old, which prohibits people from talking on handheld phones while driving, it remains a very common practice. Sit at a major inersection for five to 10 minutes and watch drivers. It won’t be hard to spot a number of drivers on hand-held phones. If people need to talk on their phones so badly while driving, they should be setting up a hands-free system in their vehicles. Part of the reason this problem persists may be the minimal fines. While police have issued almost 106,000 violations since January, 2010, the fine for using a hand-held phone while driving is just $167. Police say some drivers can be charged with driving without due care and attention and be fined $368, but both of these fine amounts pale in comparison to the penalties handed down to drivers who blow over .05 under the new drinking and driving rules. It is obvious that lawmakers don’t take the issue of distracted driving too seriously. Perhaps it is because they haven’t found a way to tie the distracted driving laws so closely to victims. But there are no shortage of them, as the police figures show. Members of the public need to take the issue seriously and pull over when making a call. At the same time, lawmakers need to consider if stiffer penalties for driving while distracted are needed. ~ Black Press

A close encounter of the asteroid kind

Tomorrow Asteroid 2012 DA14, which orbits the sun similar to the orbit of Earth, will make a flyby of our planet just a cat’s leap away, relatively speaking. At its closest point above the eastern Indian Ocean off Sumatra, it will be just 27,700 kilometres above the Earth’s surface. What makes this event so unique is that the asteroid’s flyby is the closest ever-predicted Earth approach of an object this size. The asteroid is a chunk of rock about 45 metres in diameter with an estimated mass of some 130,000 metric tons. Normally it swings by Earth relatively close twice per orbit but this time it is passing by so close that it will slice between the outer constellation of satellites (those used for communications, weather fore-

casting, defense and intelligence) in geosynchronous (24-hour) orbit and the closer constellation of satellites orbiting Earth and which include the International Space Station just 386 kilometres up. There are almost no satellites orbiting at the distance at Margaret which the asteroid will pass. How forEVANS tuitous is that? The asteroid was discovered just a year ago by the La Sagra Sky Survey in Mallorca, Spain. It was 4.3 million kilometres away then. That tells you how far and how fast it has come in just 12 months. When it gets here it will be in the Earth/Moon system for about 33

hours and zipping by us at 28,100 kilometres an hour. This is all great stuff for astronomers and scientists. Seeing asteroids this close provides some amazing studies on the run. NASA already has plans to launch a spacecraft in 2016 to study another asteroid and potentially bring back samples for study. But in their sights are manned missions to asteroids and “potentially resource mining operations” according to NASA’s website. NASA’s Near Earth Object Observation Program finds and tracks asteroids and comets close to Earth. The obvious objective of “Spaceguard” is to find what objects are potentially hazardous to Earth and figure out what to do about them. This is a global cooperative. All observatories worldwide send

their observations to the NASA funded Minor Planet Center operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Here, a huge database is maintained documenting all known asteroids and comets in the solar system. Research is ongoing as to how to deflect problematic rocks in space and the level of space technology needed to carry out such missions. It’s kind of sobering to know that NASA estimates there are about 500,000 near-Earth asteroids the size of 2012 DA14 but less than one per cent have actually been discovered. Some of them do make it through on a collision course with Earth. In 1908 an asteroid slightly smaller than DA14 hit Earth in Tuguska, Siberia. It hit with enough force to flatten 1,200 square km of for-

est in what is now Krasnoyarsk, Russia. NASA scientists have calculated that a DA14 size asteroid flies very close to Earth every 40 years and that one impacts roughly once every 1,200 years. For this flyby event, the asteroid will be best viewed from Europe, Africa and Asia. By the time Earth has rotated enough for North Americans to see it, the asteroid with have receded and faded in magnitude. But powerful telescopes everywhere will be all over it. The asteroid’s next notable visit will be February 15th 2046 but at a tame one million kilometres from Earth’s surface. When the asteroid flashes past tomorrow, its distance from us will be just 1/13th the distance from the Earth to the Moon. Now that’s what I call a close encounter.

The Chilliwack

Progress

Fraser Health goes too far It seems to me that the Fraser Health Authority is looking more and more like an institution that is having too much authority and is exercising too much power. I thought that civil servants should serve the community rather than being served under semi false pretensions. Three incidents of E.coli occurrence (without any ill effects) in five years appears to that institution like a high risk, while slowly poisoning a population of 80,000 with chlorine is supposedly a low risk, simply because the effects can only be measured over a much longer term and are therefore ignored. While chlorination may be common practice, it does not mean that it is healthy. Chlorine is one of the most potent poisons and adding it at low proportions to water does not make it healthy. I find

it appalling that any individual or institution is able to force a system like chlorination on a population of 80,000, while there is no evidence any person has been affected by a case of E.coli contamination (by drinking the water here in Chilliwack). What I find unbelievable is that an educated man as Dr. Lem drinks from an open stream (as he stated). Any open stream can be contaminated by droppings from wild animals, birds, rats etc. Is that not lacking some sound judgement? Comparing it to a closely monitored closed system is highly unscientific. Decisions like chlorinating a water system should be based on solid scientific evidence; not on the opinion of anyone, even if highly educated. Exposure to possible e-coli in water may be conceived a

risk, but exposure to it other than from water is likely much higher. I have enjoyed our water for several decades without any ill effect and I appreciate the efforts of our city to have kept it enjoyable. Is this the same institution that declares raw milk a high risk and is quite willing to force the issue, no matter what? I cannot escape the view that some people (there) do not have the welfare of our population at heart, but the sheer power of forcing an issue. It is also clear that the FHA is not footing the bill, it can be counted on that each Chilliwack family may have to pay for something that is not healthy and likely unwanted by many.

pen due to the increased demands on the water system? Angry they may be, but I think they are mad in their failure to predict the future. My late husband’s definition of a criminal was, “A person who could not accurately predict the future outcome of their present time actions.” Even

numerous empty houses sitting on the market the councillors still push through more development and building permits. Three-storey houses are being turned into small apartment rentals even as more are being built on a daily basis. Such “single” family homes are putting even more of a burden

on Chilliwack’s water supply. If the water was worth protecting why didn’t they do it? It is too late now because Fraser Health does have the authority to act and will. Council had the ability to act and failed to do so. The outcome was inevitable. Terry MacKinnon

RISK & RETURN GUIDE

12% THE RETURN THEY WERE GUARANTEED ON THEIR INVESTMENT

Appalled by chlorination Fighting evil with evil Re: Fraser Health Order Water Chlorination Appalled! That’s exactly how I felt when I read about the proposed chlorination of Chilliwack water — water hailed as the best in the world quality-wise, and the best in the world taste-wise. I have lived in Chilliwack for two years and everyone in my family, including my daughter (Please pay attention Dr. Lem), drinks tap water. Probably Dr. Lem and his daughter rely solely on bottled water and probably that’s what he’d want us to do. Chlorination of the sweet tasting Chilliwack will not benefit the people of Chilliwack, rather it will benefit the corporations who want to displace this water with their own brands of pure, safe, and tasty bottled water. Let people themselves use chlorine tablets, if they feel threatened by three E.coli cases in four years, and please let us, who are happy and healthy with our water, continue to consume it. Rajnish Dhawan

The proposed chlorination of Chilliwack’s drinking water comes with a serious threat to its award-winning quality. Health officials are trying to prevent a hypothetical E.coli attack through a sure and constant chlorine attack on all our citizens’ health. Just because something does not show immediate signs of being toxic doesn’t mean it’s harmless. In fact, the long-term negative effects of ingested chlorination-byproducts (Trihalomethanes or THMs) are well-researched and documented. As chlorine reacts with natural ingredients in our water, toxic elements, such as THMs, are formed. Seeing that the human body functions through innumerable, complex biochemical processes, to add a chemical substance to one’s diet will certainly not go unpunished. Health officials would do well in researching this matter before coming to any hasty conclusions and ordering the chemical contamination of our city’s drinking water. Unfortunately, nutritional and biochemical studies, although absolutely vital in understanding the human body, are merely sidelines in the general medical field.

tries to buy liquor with a new MasterCard, but the card reads an error. The clerk then swipes the card again, at which point the transaction goes through, but with another card holder’s information. “It’s the first time that we’ve seen that type of setup,” says Constable Tracy Wolbeck. “It’s a pretty unique method, for sure. It’s nothing I’ve seen, and it’s nothing we see often.” She added in a press release: “It has been confirmed that in some of these cases, the credit card data used to fraudulently make purchases has been obtained from people who have had their vehicles broken into and wallets stolen.” The person whose credit card data is used for the purchase never knows the transaction happens until she or he sees the bill. RCMP do not yet know how this is done. “We really cannot stress enough the importance of not leaving your wallet in your car. Identity theft is very far-reaching and this is just one example of it,” concluded Wolbeck in the press release. RCMP request that people with any information on these crimes or any other crime call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

News Premier launches LNG ‘Prosperity Fund’ Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark kicked off the pre-election legislature session Tuesday with a pledge to establish a new fund from natural gas exports to support social programs and pay down debt. The main purpose of the “British Columbia Prosperity Fund” will be to pay down debt, starting in 2017 when the first liquefied natural gas facilities begins to ship LNG for export from the northern coast to Asian markets. It will be funded by a tax on LNG exports, as well as gas producers’ corporate taxes and traditional natural gas royalty revenues. The new fund is patterned after Alberta’s

Heritage Fund, set up in 1976 as a legacy for Alberta’s oil and gas revenues. The B.C. fund would receive an estimated $100 billion from LNG revenues over 30 years, based on an assumption of five LNG production facilities exporting gas from the Kitimat-Prince Rupert region. The plan was presented in the throne speech delivered Tuesday by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon, to open a four-week legislature session leading up to the May 14 provincial election. The key task for the B.C. Liberal government in that session is to pass legislation returning the provincial sales tax to B.C. effective April 1, and the speech hinted at relieving that tax as one use for the new fund.

“Whether it is eliminating the provincial sales tax, or making long-term investments in areas like education or vital infrastructure that strengthen com-

munities – these are the kinds of opportunities the B.C. Prosperity Fund can provide,” the speech says. Continued: NDP/ p16

NDP leader Adrian Dix said the government’s focus on LNG development is at odds with its heavily advertised jobs plan, with little mention of forestry, mining, tourism, film and TV production or high technology. The government missed its natural gas revenue targets in a budget update six months ago, so projecting LNG revenues many years in the future is questionable at best, he said. The government estimates that if B.C.’s LNG mega-project develops as expected, and all of the fund’s revenues are directed to debt reduction, B.C.’s $56 billion debt could be paid off within a decade. The province currently pays about $2.5 billion a year in interest on the debt. There has been a rush of international investment interest in northeastern B.C.’s shale gas deposits. Companies include Mitsubishi Corp., Shell Canada, China National Petroleum Corporation and Petronas, a trans-national gas player owned by the government of Malaysia.

The annual fundraising gala for the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus is coming up Feb. 16 at the Coast Chilliwack Hotel. “I think this is shaping up to be the best one yet,” said CSO director Paula DeWit. “The gourmet meal, the incredible entertainment, exciting silent auction — the whole event will be a treat.” The orchestra just continues to get “better and

better,” she admits. “It’s the best it has ever been and the a cappella group is very polished.” Three special guest per-

formers will also be in their April concert. They include soprano Michelle Koebke and violinist Carolyn Cole. The lineup will also showcase the talents of the CSO and the Belle Voci singers. Together, CSO resident pianist Graham Yates, and Chilliwack harpist Joanne Hankey will perform during the pre-dinner cocktail hour with a musical welcome for gala guests. A Phantom of the Opera theme will include a Mask Contest, adding to the romantic and sumptuous ambiance. Guests are invited to decorate a mask and bring it along for judging.

Hitchcock meets the hilarious on stage in Chilliwack Take one alluring and mysterious woman, add a murder accusation, a missing finger, and an effort to foil foreign spies, and you

have The 39 Steps. This witty take on the classic Alfred Hitchcock movie will have the audience rolling in the aisles with laughter at

The Chilliwack Cultural Centre on February 25. A comedic adaptation by Patrick Barlow, The 39 Steps reenacts the 1935 film nearly

verbatim, but with only four actors. Whether by changing hats or postures, the physicality and vocal talent of the four performers

is astounding as they transform from one character to another. Part juicy spy novel, part Monty Python, The 39 Steps preserves

the brilliance originally created by the master of suspense, director Alfred Hitchcock in this Tony award-winning show that kept

Broadway entertained for years. The 39 Steps started as a World War I espionage novel by Scottish author John Buchan. It became an Alfred Hitchcock film in 1935. Then it was adapted for the stage and opened in London as a hit comedy, ran on Broadway and is now coming to Chilliwack. A thrilling show for all ages, Patrick Barlow’s brilliant adaptation, based on the novel and the classic film. Four incredibly talented actors morph into all kinds of zany characters in this tongue-in-cheek adaptation that just might give you vertigo. One actor (Jay Hindle), only plays the main character Richard Hannay; one female actor (Diana Coatsworth) plays the three female love interests; and two actors (Shawn Macdonald, David Marr) perform the rest of the cast of over a hundred, including the occasional inanimate object. This is a fast-paced romp through the story of Hitchcock’s film that makes a very funny transposition of the film onto the stage that you won’t soon forget. The bored main character, Richard Hannay makes eyes at a mysterious woman only to return to his London home later where the woman is discovered dead. Thrown headlong into a run for his life, a mysterious spy organization alternately pursues and is pursued by him, from London to Scotland and back again. Both hindering and helping him is the beautiful, classy dame Pamela who, despite her best efforts, ends up shackled, literally, to a man she thinks is a murderer. Meanwhile, the police and the spy organization are closing in on Richard. With the use of simple props and flexible set pieces the stage will transport audience members from urban London to the rustic hills of Scotland, with all the various methods of travel needed to get there. The 39 Steps, February 25 at 7:30 p.m.m. Tickets at the box office or 604391-SHOW(7469).

Business PST return looms for business Tom Fletcher Black Press

Undoing the harmonized sales tax and establishing a modernized version of the 60-year-old provincial sales tax is the biggest task facing Premier Christy Clark’s government in the brief legislative sitting that precedes the May 14 provincial election. Finance Minister Mike de Jong introduced the transition legislation Wednesday. It includes provisions for transactions that straddle the transition date such as new home purchases. The bill to replace the HST runs nearly 200 pages, and it will add accounting costs for business as well as taking away business input tax credits that match those available under the federal Goods and Services Tax. The government has given itself a deadline of April 1 to make the switch for the 2013-14 fiscal year. The administrative burden of the switch starts with businesses reprogramming cash registers and other systems to go back to collecting two separate sales taxes. One of the few modern touches to the new PST is the ability of more than 100,000

businesses to register online at www.gov. bc.ca/etaxbc/register, and view online instructions to help make the transition. About 30,000 B.C. businesses have started up since 2010, and operators may have no experience with the old sales tax system. Provincial sales taxes on restaurant meals, haircuts and other services will be removed as of April 1, but one companion tax is being kept in place. Private sales of vehicles, boats

and aircraft are exempt from GST, but the province levied a 12 per cent provincial tax on the transactions to equalize treatment of used vehicle sales between dealerships and individuals. The government vowed to reinstate the old PST at seven per cent after the HST was rejected in a province-wide initiative petition. The HST was imposed in 2010, extending the provincial sales tax to a range of services.

Ministry of Finance website. Applicants will be required to submit documentation demonstrating eligibility for the bonus. You will qualify as a first-time new home buyer if: – You purchase or build an eligible new home located in B.C.; – You, or for couples, you and your spouse or common law partner, have never previously owned a primary residence; – You file a 2011 B.C. resident personal income tax return, or if you moved to B.C. after December 31, 2011, you file a 2012 B.C. resident personal income tax return (you will not be eligible for the bonus if you moved to B.C. after December 31, 2012); – You are eligible for the B.C. HST New Housing Rebate; and – You intend to live in the home as your primary residence. An eligible new home includes new homes (i.e. newly

constructed homes and substantially renovated homes – 90 per cent or more of the interior must be renovated to qualify) that are purchased from a builder and that are owner-built. The bonus will be available in respect of new homes purchased from a builder where: – A written agreement of purchase and sale is entered into on or after February 21, 2012; – HST is payable on the home (e.g., HST will generally be payable if ownership or possession of the home transfers before April 1, 2013); – No one else has claimed a bonus in respect of the home. The bonus will be available in respect of owner-built homes where: – A written agreement of purchase and sale in respect of the land and building is entered into on or after February 21, 2012; – Construction of the home is complete, or the home is occupied, before April 1, 2013; – No one else has claimed a bonus in respect of the home. The bonus is equal to 5% of the purchase price of the home (or in the case of owner-built homes, 5% of the land and construction costs subject to HST) to a maximum of $10,000. The bonus will be reduced based on an individual’s/couple’s net income and is phased out to zero for high income earners ($200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples).

I have lived in Chilliwack for over 45 years, raising a family and watching this city and surrounding areas grow and prosper. I have a passion for real estate and gained knowledge by building, buying and selling my own homes in this area. I took this experience and knowledge a step further and became a realtor in 2005. As a realtor I approach clients with an honest, down to earth, trustworthy attitude. This is a major reason why referrals from past clients are the majority of my business! In addition, I am continuously improving the services I provide to my clients. I have a thorough marketing plan for Sellers and a complete step by step package for Buyers. As a president’s club recipient since 2009 I pride myself on an excellent work ethic. Also, a strong sense of responsibility to Chilliwack and this profession has led me to become a Director on the Chilliwack Real Estate Board. I care about people, this profession and this community.

I have spent the past 16 years in the Sales, Marketing, and Advertising field. It is this background that gives me a unique perspective of how a home should be marketed. Are you tired of leaving messages that aren’t being returned? Do you find it annoying when the homes advertised in the newspapers are not as they seem? Wouldn’t it be nice to work with someone who understands your point of view? Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than having satisfied clients whom I have helped to reach their real estate goals. I provide you with the highest degree of professional service excellence and customer satisfaction that is “TOUGH to BEAT.” I am Mike DellaFortuna, and it would be my pleasure to help you.

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

The Criteria for Selecting the Student is Based on the Following: The student that represents the Rotary 4 way test... • Is it the truth? • Is it FAIR • Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? • Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Kelsey is the perfect “second” or “aide”. She works quietly with the student body president, helping everywhere, but never getting in the way or seeking the spotlight. Sometimes she works too much! Kelsey has volunteered with Big Brothers and Sisters since 2011 and is a key organizer in the penny drive for Africa. This year she is taking Advanced Placement European History and is re-taking English 12 because she was not satisfied with her mark when she took the course in her Grade 11 year. After graduation, Kelsey plans to continue her education towards obtaining a teaching degree. She is a student worthy of recognition as a Leader of Tomorrow and we congratulate her on this accomplishment.

ROTARY MOTTO: Service above Self!. The strongest emphasis will be put on: Excellence in community service (within the school or externally). Also excellence in Trades, Academics and Sports.

Diverse interests and a brilliant school career that includes a wide variety of experiences best describes Lauren Kempers. Whether she is dancing ballet, playing field hockey or basketball or working on her studies to maintain her 4.0 GPA, Lauren puts everything she has into the activities in which she is involved. A positive and upbeat student leader who has been active in organizing a number of school activities including our recent hugely successful “Clash of the Falcons” spirit week, Lauren also works as a coach for middle school field hockey teams and as a referee for volleyball. Despite a full schedule she still finds time to be involved in humanitarian efforts like the “Halloween for Hunger” program and travelled to Kenya last summer with Craig Kielburger and the Me to We organization. There she worked to help build a High School for girls. Congratulations Lauren, on being selected Sardis Secondary School’s Leader of Tomorrow for December, 2012.

across. One of the original breeders in California has renewed my faith in these magnificent old giants. It is not unusual to grow, even in the first year, flowers four to five inches in diameter. You many find them a little more expensive than other varieties, but you’ll see why once you see the results. For the greatest success, use a peat and sand mixture to start all your begonia tubers. Try a ratio of threequarters peat to one-quarter sand. Your might want to add a little floured bonemeal to this mix as well. Place your tubers in the smallest pot possible, (one just large enough to fit the tuber) being careful not to bury them too deeply. Water the tubers in thoroughly, and cover your pots with a clean dry cleaning bag to keep them humid and warm (18-21°C or 65-70°F). Then, place your pots on top of the refrigerator to keep them warm and make them sweat. If the tubers are sound, I guarantee you success every time

using this method. To enjoy some early blossoms, now’s a good time to get your tubers started. And please, give some of the old tuber varieties a try this year. They are very unique and will create quite a stir in your garden. If you just don’t have time to start tubers, don’t worry. Started plants will be in good supply in all stores by late April. Since begonias love warm temperatures, wait until May before setting them outside.

these more prolific varieties with smaller blossoms and longer blooming periods. They are also more weather tolerant. ‘Crispa Marginata’ begonias are singles but very much like multi-flowered varieties. They are the most prolific of all begonias, and they look quite similar to fibrous begoBrian nias. They Minter tolerate sun as well as shade, but their real charm lies in their delightful, often blackcoloured foliage, which, when contrasted with their intensely coloured flowers, creates a truly knockout effect. If you are a fan of giant flowers, try some ‘California’ varieties. There are many flower forms on the market such as ruffled and camellia, as well as upright and trailing varieties. The starting tubers can be up to four inches

For shady garden areas, tuberous begonias are one of the old-time favourites. Today, the ‘non-stops’, which can be started from seed or tuber with equal success, are the most popular by far. Their blossom size is not quite up to par with the older tuber camellia-flowered varieties, but their colour range and incredible garden performance is amazing. ‘Non-stops’ will also tolerate a fair amount of sunshine, allowing you to use them in many more areas. There are many new varieties and some have almost black foliage. Two relatively new seedling strains are the very large and spectacular Pin-Up Series ‘Flame’, a yellow and orange bicolour and ‘Rose‘, a stunning white with deep rose edgings. As for tubers, I’m excited about the ‘Maxima’ series of begonias. They are very similar to ‘non-stops’, but they also have single female flowers which can be left on for a most pleasing effect.

The Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society Presents

Day, Feb. 27. The mall wants to send a clear and powerful message that the community will stand together against bullying. Organizers are offering every person in the Fraser Valley the opportunity to express their support by writing a note of their commitment to stand up against bullying, says Dawn Lamotte, market-

ing director with Cottonwood Mall. “Using your smart phone, email your group photo (students, teachers, grandparents, friends, co-workers, etc.) holding your note of support to me at dlamotte@morguard.com. We will print each photo and display them on our ‘We Stand Together Against Bullying’ wall which is located in the

Cottonwood Mall food court. These photos will not be used on the internet, Facebook or the mall’s website. “We hope this campaign will offer children, parents, caregivers and educators the opportunity to talk about the effects of bullying and help raise awareness of the problem,” said Lamotte.

Penalty box parade

Not only do the Chiefs lead the league in times shorthanded, they also lead in power play opportunities, writes Jacob Bestebroer

Goaltender Mitch Gillam and defenceman David Thompson watch the airborn puck as Prince George forward Bryant Christian closes in. The Spruce Kings beat the Chiefs for the first time in seven tries this season Friday night, taking a 3-1 final at Prospera Centre. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Tired Chiefs fall to Express After a dominant 5-2 win over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, the Chilliwack Chiefs had reason to feel good. Five game losing skid over. Game rediscovered. Good to go. Then came Family Day and a Monday afternoon game in Coquitlam. The Chiefs faced the Mainland division cellar-dwelling Express in a 2 p.m. start at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. The early time might have been a great equalizer for the Express, who

skated off with an unexpected 3-1 win. The Express had Sunday of f, while Chilliwack had a mere 18 and a half hours to rest and prepare. Austin Plevy opened the scoring 1:12 into the middle frame, scoring his 27th of the year shorthanded. Ex-Chief Ben Israel got Coquitlam on the board at 13:31, getting his eighth of the year on an Express power play. Israel has six goals in 12 games since being dealt to Coquitlam at the trade deadline.

The Chiefs ran out of gas in the third period, with shots on goal favouring the Express 12-5. Travis Stephens broke the tie at 2:26. Adam Rockwood added insurance at 10:40, scoring on another Coquitlam power play (Israel picked up an assist). “I thought Coquitlam played solid defensive game and we were very undisciplined,” said Chiefs coach Harvey Smyl, who saw his team shorthanded nine times. Chilliwack native Josh Halpenny was in goal for

the Chiefs stopping 27 of 30 shots. Cole Huggins stopped 22 of 23 in the Express net. With four regular season games remaining, Chilliwack’s record is 28-18-1-1. They are eight points back of the Mainland division leading Surrey Eagles, (30-12-2-4) who visit Prospera Centre Saturday night. The Westside Warriors (23-123-8) are in town Friday night. Both games are 7 p.m. starts.

If watching special teams is something you enjoy at hockey games then this year’s Chiefs team is one you want to watch. In the 48 games they’ve played this season, there have been a total of 500 power play opportunities. The next highest is 452 in the 47 games played by the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. Not only do the Chiefs lead the league in times shorthanded, they also lead in power play opportunities. Their lead in number of power play chances is minimal as four other teams are within five of the Chiefs total of 227. On the flip side their lead in number of times shorthanded is startling. The Chiefs have been shorthanded 273 times. The next highest are the Bulldogs at 228. The Penticton Vees have been shorthanded the fewest number of times at 152, followed by the Merritt Centennials at 154. When you take each team’s total number of power plays and subtract times shorthanded, you come up with a number we’ll call special teams plus-minus, and the Chiefs rank 16th out of 16 teams at minus 46. The Vees rank first at plus 50 followed by the Surrey Eagles at plus 42. So what does this all mean? Tough to say. Not always is there a direct correlation between special teams plusminus rankings and winning percentage. Despite ranking last at

2013 F-150

minus 46, the Chiefs have the sixth best winning percentage in the league. That minus 46 is also tempered somewhat by the fact that they have the league’s best penalty killing at over 85 per cent. Ranking high in special teams plus-minus also does not automatically lead to a good record. This was proven last season by the Trail Smoke Eaters who led the league at plus 47 but finished last in wins with 11. Having said all that, we can look at two recent examples where special teams chances were definitely a factor. In the Chiefs two losses last weekend, they had a combined total of five chances on the power play while they were shorthanded 17 times. If you watched the games and are thinking, ‘Sure but the refereeing stank,’ I’ll give you that. But the fact is it’s tough to win games when giving the opposition that many more opportunities with the man advantage. The Chiefs are back on home ice for a pair of games this weekend. Friday night the West Kelowna Warriors are in town followed by the Mainland Division leading Surrey Eagles Saturday. Purchase two tickets for Friday’s game and you get a free ticket for Saturday.

Eric J. Welsh,

I have never seen anything like it,” Janssens chuckled. “The roof is shaped like the hull of an upside down viking boat, with little windows around the bottom. It is impressive inside and out.” Janssens is in Norway until Monday, competing in the World All-Round Speedskating Championships. “It is the oldest championship in the world for speedskating, even older than the Olympics,” Janssens said. True. It dates to 1893 and it’s difficult for anyone to get an invite. Janssens is one of four Canadians (two men,

two women) in a field of elite athletes. A strong showing at the Continental Championships got him in. That event was held in Salt Lake City, UT, in early January. Canada sent Janssens to Norway because they believe he’s got a very good chance at success. He will compete in a minimum three races, skating in the 500, 1500 and 5000 metres. His total time in the 500m will be combined with a third of his time in the 1500m and a 10th of his time in the 5000m to form a total Samalog time. The top eight after those three races will compete in the 10,000m,

and a champion will be crowned. “This is my first comThe things you see petition at the senior when you’re a world level, so I’m not sure class athlete. what to expect as far as Chilliwack’s Alec results go,” the 21-yearJanssens flew into Oslo, old Sardis secondNorway, last Saturday ary school grad said. night and took a shuttle “But I’m really excited 100 kilometres north because it was one of to the small town of my goals to qualify for Hamar. this event.” The next morning he Janssens had also got his first good look hoped to make his at the Hamar Olympic mark on the World Cup Hall. speedskating circuit It goes by another this year, but a pair of name, which made perbad results early have fect sense to Janssens skuttled that. once he saw it. “The World Cup triVikingskipet. als were disappointing, The Viking Ship. but I managed to reset “It was built for the and refocus for Salt 1994 Lillehammer Lake City, and it turned Winter Olympics, and out well,” he said. “I feel pretty good about this event, because I’m strong in the three shorter distances.” Janssens hopes to do well enough to qualify for the World Single Distance Speedskating Championships, taking place Mar. 21-24 in Sochi, Russia.

Sports

Sunday May 5, 2013

Rollercoaster weekend Say this for the University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team – they sure didn’t skimp on the drama on the weekend. Hosting the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack in a series of games with major playoff implications, the Cascades blended a dominant victory with a heartbreaking loss. The UFV women, ranked No. 3 in the nation, stole defeat from the jaws of victory on Friday evening. Leading by three points with 10 seconds left in regulation, and with possession of the ball, they somehow managed to lose 72-70 in overtime. “It was just a shocking series of events,” Cascades coach Al Tuchscherer said. “They stepped up and took it away from us.” With 10 seconds left, UFV turned the ball over on a sideline inbounds play, but leading by three, they elected to foul and send the WolfPack’s Taiysa Worsfeld to the line for two free throws. Worsfeld made the first free throw and intentionally missed the second, and while Thompson Rivers grabbed the offensive rebound, they turned the ball back over to the Cascades. But after a timeout, WolfPack guard Jen Ju stole Courtney Bartel’s inbounds pass and hit a jumper to knot the score and send the game to OT. In the extra session, UFV had the ball with 10 seconds left and the score tied 70-70, but Ju tied up Aiesha Luyken for a jump ball, and the possession arrow was pointing TRU’s way. WolfPack for ward Tracy Kocs drew a foul as time expired, and knocked down two free throws to lift her team to an improbable upset win. “We pride ourselves on knowing what to do in those situations, and typically we do,”

Tuchscherer said. “But we mismanaged it just terribly. “We were all just stunned. We met the next morning (for shoot-around), and none of us had slept. . . . You wonder how your team is going to react. How will they respond to having their hearts ripped out?” A loss in Saturday’s rematch would have seriously jeopardized the Cascades’ chances of locking up the No. 1 seed in the Pacific Division, but they responded in impressive fashion, crushing TRU 80-57. UFV essentially ended any suspense in the first half, building a 22-point lead at the break while shooting a scorching 58 per cent. Sarah Wierks had a monster game with 20

points and 16 rebounds, while Luyken (18 points, six assists) and Kayli Sartori (14 points, eight rebounds) also came up big. “There was no fear in their eyes,” Tuchscherer said. “They were focused, really, really focused.” The weekend splits with TRU set up a fascinating final weekend of the regular season for the UFV hoopsters. The UFV women (16-4) are tied with UBC for first place in the Pacific Division, and can lock up the top seed with a pair of wins over TWU (7-13) since they own the tiebreaker with the Thunderbirds. The Spartans have been eliminated from playoff contention, but they’re on a bit of a roll, having won four of their last six.
