olice are hoping the public can help them track down the man who brazenly robbed a pedestrian yesterday afternoon on Reece Avenue.

RCMP says that a man was walking down Reece toward the Young Super market when he heard footsteps, running, behind him.

According to police, the suspect brandished a weapon and told the victim to hand over his wallet if he didn’t want to be hurt.

The wallet was surrendered and the suspect was seen running down Fletcher Street.

“We are hoping, given the time of day and the fact that it was light out, that someone would have seen something,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck.

The suspect is described as native, in his 20s, about five-foot10 and of slim build, with no facial hair and black, short bushy hair.

He wore very dirty jeans and a white tank top.

5,000 homes lost power

A

blustery storm that blew past Chilliwack Wednesday evening was short on lightning but long on sparks.

While a severe thunderstorm watch was issued for the Fraser Valley, the storm moved quickly through Chilliwack without the hail and lightning predicted.

The stor m didn’t leave the region unblemished however, as it knocked out power to more than 5,000 Chilliwack residents Wednesday afternoon.

While the storm was an inconvenience, assistant fire chief Ian Josephson said the city escaped relatively unscathed.

The relatively low number of calls was “not bad, considering the amount of wind that came through,” he said.

Upfront Ready to battle forest fires Cultus Lake and Columbia Valley firefighters joined forestry colleagues last Saturday to practice battling a forest blaze and to put classroom-learned knowledge to the test.

Cultus Lake assistant fire chief Glenn Charles said the practical training allowed the 30-plus local firefighters to get their hands dirty fighting a blaze outside of their comfort zones.

The burn followed classes and an exam. Saturday’s successful training exercise earned the firefighters a certificate that allows them to tackle forest fires alongside professional forestry firefighters. (Before, local firefighters would try to immediately suppress a forest fire but would leave the scene after Ministry of Forests firefighters arrived).

Charles said the training was valuable, as forest-fire tactics are very different from strategies used to battle structure blazes.

Union backs Epp through process

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he president of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association wants the public to withhold judgement on Jason Epp, the Chilliwack teacher accused of sexual assault. “ We live in a countr y where innocence until proven guilty is a fundamental right, and if we are going to trust and believe in our judicial system, we need to let that play out” Katharin Midzain told the Times on Tuesday, shortly after police confirmed Epp had been charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference.

“We have a number of layers of processes that Mr. Epp will go through and that myself and the union will support him through in terms of fair processes,” said Midzain, who worked with Epp and whose child had Epp for a teacher.

“He needs to be given that chance have contact with past or present without prejudgement and to students and not to visit any public have these processes happen in an place where children under the age of 16 are present. He will return to court unbiased way.”

She said that Epp needs to be able June 1 for an arraignment hearing.

Michael Audet, the school to make his way through the legal d i s t r i c t’s a c t i n g system and other superintendent, said processes without “We live in a country the school district being prejudged. where innocence was first advised of a S e x u a l single sexual assault interference is the until proven guilty is allegation on the direct or indirect a fundamental right.” afternoon of Friday, touching of a young April 30. The school person for a sexual Katharin Midzain district contacted p u r p o s e . Tw o police the following counts of sexual Monday and Epp exploitation have was subsequently placed on paid been dropped.

“These are very serious allegations,” leave.

Thiessensaidtheinitialinvestigation said RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Peter Thiessen at a press conference led to the allegations from a second victim.

Tuesday morning.

Epp had taught in the school district Epp was arrested May 12, formally charged May 13 and subsequently for about 15 years. He had been at released on bail, with orders not to Sardis for about eight years.

EPP, from page 1 the first allegations is displeased that Epp was allowed to continue teaching after being accused of sexual misdeeds, according to a relative who contacted the Times, but who cannot be identified without breaching a publication ban.

According to the family member, the weekend after the allegations were made “was very traumatic,” with the victim and family “forced to sit in a holding pattern while the school decided what they were going to do.”

The relative said that in a sit-down meeting with parents last week, officials confirmed that Epp taught, unsupervised, on May 3. That meeting was called to explain to parents why police were pulling children out of class for interviews.

“The feeling that we were left with was that they either did not take the allegations seriously or they did not have the foresight to ensure there was a ‘monitor’ placed in the classroom prior to the suspension,” said the relative.

Furthermore, the relative said the principal of Sardis elementary school was told of the allegations on the morning of April 29, more than 24 hours before Audet said the school district was contacted.

Calls to Sardis elementary were not returned and Audet reiterated that the district learned of the allegations on April 30.

Tyler Olsen/TIMES

RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen and acting school board superintendent Michael Audet speak Tuesday at a press conference to discuss charges against Jason Epp. The child who brought forward the first allegations was kept home from school by family on April 29.

The school asked the family to keep the student at home on April 30 and May 3. The student returned to class on May 4, once Epp was placed on leave.

According to the president of the Chilliwack Teachers Association— the local arm of the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation—the union pitched the idea to the school board to place Epp on paid leave.

CTA president Katharin Midzain said the union suggested—and the

school board agreed—that Epp should leave his classroom while the investigation took place because “it might be better for him to be out of the school from the beginning because of public hysteria and grapevines.”

Audet was not at the May 3 meeting and could not say who first pitched the idea for Epp to be put on leave.

Midzain, for her part, is pleased with how the school board handled the situation.

“They have been clear and upfront from the beginning both with myself

Police are eager to hear from any parents or students who know of any other incidents involving the teacher.

“If there’s any person that feels there was something inappropriate that may have occurred between their children and Mr. Epp . . . we want to know about it,” said Thiessen.

The RCMP’s serious crime unit was called in to investigate the allegations.

Thiessen said as many as 12 officers worked full-time on the case at one time.

As Lower Mainland media hordes descended on Sardis elementary, p a re n t s i n v a r i a b l y d e s c r i b e d themselves as shocked. Many said they can’t believe the charges are true.

If Epp is found guilty he faces years in prison. If innocent, the path is less clear. The school district’s acting superintendent, Michael Audet, could not say what would happen down the road to Epp’s career prospects if the charges don’t stick. and Mr. Epp. They let us know once they had the allegation and once they decided upon how it needed to happen,” she said. “They’ve been certainly willing to give him the time and process that is necessary.”

At the press conference, Audet said the district acted with haste once a parent came to it with the initial allegation.

“We acted on that allegation very quickly and contacted RCMP as part of our protocol immediately,” said Audet. “Our first priority is, and always will be, the safety of our students, ensuring a safe learning environment for them.”

Audet told the Times that the district strictly adhered to a document, created with the RCMP and the Ministry of Children and Family Development, called the Interministerial Alleged Abuse by School District Staff, Employees, Contract and Service Providers and Volunteers Protocol.

“We did follow that protocol on May the 3rd. And it’s pretty clear what you do: When X happens, here’s what you do,” said Audet.

Once Epp was placed on leave, the school district contacted parents in the class and told them about the allegations. This past Sunday, after charges were laid, the school district contacted all Sardis elementary parents. And on Monday, teachers read a prepared statement to students, and counsellors were at the school to provide further support.

Walk and Knock looks to collect 25,000 food items

T

he Cheam Lions Club is giving itself less than four hours to collect 25,000 food items for the Salvation Army Food Bank this month.

That’s the goal of this year’s 20th Annual Lion Gord Hutton Walk and Knock Food Drive, set for Wednesday, May 26 between 5:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.

An army of 500 volunteers from 32 different groups including churches, schools, cubs, scouts, girl guides and service clubs will be blitzing neighbourhoods from Greendale to East Chilliwack on foot, knocking on doors and collecting non-perishable food donations.

“It’s needed,” said Jim Cumyn, chair of the organizing committee, “and when you see the vehicles coming in that are just jammed with food, it’s very satisfying.”

Last year the citywide drive brought in 20,000 food items, but the Lions are ramping up their efforts this year in response to a 30 per cent jump in food bank use since their last campaign.

According to food bank manager Don Armstrong, the Lions’ Walk and Knock drive is crucial for getting the food bank through the lean months between Christmas and the Salvation Army’s Christmas in July campaign.

“Anything at this time of year is just a tremendous help,” he said. “Christmas is over, and nobody thinks of the food bank after

Christmas.”

Armstrong hopes the drive will replenish dwindling stocks of canned goods like salmon, tuna, beans and fruit, and dry goods like Kraft Dinner.

The food bank’s bare shelves in the spring are what inspired late Lion Gordon Hutton to start the drive two decades ago.

He modeled the campaign—the Cheam Lions’ biggest annual service project—after a similar drive he started with the Guildford Lions Club before he moved to Chilliwack in 1990, and he chaired the organizing committee for 18 years until shortly before his death last spring.

The Cheam Lions renamed the project in Hutton’s honour last year, and Cumyn still finds it hard to talk about his predecessor without emotion.

“He was a fine lad,” he said, “so I guess that’s why I do this.”

The magnitude of the one-night blitz isn’t without its challenges, though. Two of the biggest, according to Cumyn, are finding enough volunteers and tapping into condominiums and gated communities where no canvassing is allowed.

He encourages people living in complexes to contact him about picking up donations.

And he is also encouraging people who aren’t going to be home during the drive to place their donations in bags on their front steps. ◗ For more information about volunteering and donations, call Jim Cumyn at 604-8241431 or email ruthjimcumyn@shaw.ca.

Motorcyclists - 286 Deaths in Seven Years

The BC Coroners Service investigates and records “all unnatural, sudden and unexpected deaths in the province” and is thereby positioned to identify trends and risk factors in these types of deaths and, in consultation, to appropriately direct recommendations for preventative measures.

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

C

hilliwack seems to have joined the province and the country in the economic rebound, at least as far as residential development is concerned.

Residential development permits worth $22.8 million were issued in the first three months of this year, up 530 per cent from $4.3 million in permits issued over the same period in 2009.

The numbers were part of the city’s development department report for the first quarter of 2010 received by council at Monday’s meeting.

Overall development numbers for the quarter appear to be down when commercial, industrial, institutional and agricultural permits are factored in. The total value of permits issued was $27.9 million down from $59.8 million last year. But a major reason for the discrepancy is $28.5 million in institutional permits in 2009 compared to $1.5 million this year because of the Chilliwack General Hospital expansion.

Coun. Chuck Stam called the high 2009 numbers part of “an echo” from some of the push from 2008, and he pointed to the positive numbers in residential development as a good sign for the community.

In particular, Stam pointed to a return to townhouse and multi-family construction.

There were 13 permits issued for 44 townhouses and one permit for 70 apartments in

the first quarter of 2010. In the first quarter of 2009, there were no permits issued in either category.

“That’s where the affordability lies,” Stam said at Monday’s meeting. “Those are both looking to show signs of resurgence and strength and hopefully we can carry that forward in accommodating our residents.”

Numbers for the first quarter are up from 2009 in apartment and townhouses, but there were zero permits issued for the third month (March) of the quarter and the numbers are still less than 2008.

Overall, there were 221 total building permits issued for the first quarter, up from 118 in 2009. Single family residential permits were at the highest level (107) in the first quarter of this year since 2006 (133).

British Columbia’s Finance Minister Colin Hansen declared an end to B.C.’s economic downturn this week, saying a variety of factors all indicate marked improvement.

“The recession in British Columbia is behind us,” Hansen told reporters Wednesday afternoon.

“What we are seeing is stability in the economy today that we have not seen in the last 18 months,” he added.

“It is fair to say with this number of positive indicators coming together that we should anticipate the economic downturn is behind us and that we can now build on a strong economic base.”

The panel identified two categories of risk factors, and a need for more and better information gathering. The first set of risk factors “specifically related to motorcycle operators,” and the second related to “other vehicle operators on the roadways.” The nine recommendations, available online on the Coroners Service website: www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/coroners/ are directed to the BC Solicitor General, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, ICBC, and the Coroners Service. They call for amendments to the BC Motor Vehicle Act, amendments to the motorcycle licensing program, changes to the evaluation of motorcycle driver training schools, and an investigative protocol for motor vehicle fatalities that includes a “section specific to motorcycles… to collect better data for statistical analysis.”

The recommended amendments to the law address three ‘risk factors’ for motorcycle

The recommendations to ICBC focus on:

• a graduated (class six) licensing program for all Barrister & Solicitor new riders whether or not they hold a class five license, • longer learners permits, • more stringent conditions for new riders with seven years or less road use experience, • redefining the role and accountability of ‘supervisors’ • a zero blood alcohol content for all new riders while riding, and • restricting the power of the motorcycle a rider can operate based on the power of the motorcycle on which the rider was originally road tested.

ICBC is also advised to increase awareness at the learner’s stage of licensing and during motorcycle awareness month around the “best practice of full coverage riding gear.” As for the risk factors related to other vehicle operators, ICBC is advised to expand the class five training process to improve awareness of motorcycle riders and other vulnerable road users by providing information about their decreased visibility and problems assessing their traveling speed.

The Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles has recently (March 2010) reported on the actions it has taken on the recommendations. It also identifies law enforcement as a key element of improving motorcycle safety and recommends more highly visible and appropriately sized motorcycle license plates.

‘Scandalously stupid’ to put incinerator in city

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

M

ayor Sharon Gaetz took off the gloves at Chilliwack city council on Monday and had a few shots for Metro Vancouver’s garbage plans.

“I want to start first of all by saying that Metro has taken the time by going out and doing 33 information sessions around the Lower Mainland, but it appears they have drunk the Kool-Aid and they’re walking straight on into incineration as their first plan,” she said at the end of the meeting.

Me t r o Va n c o u v e r b e g a n p u b l i c consultation into the region’s draft waste management plan on May 3, and meetings wrap up in Chilliwack on June 16.

On Saturday, Metro staff and politicians were in Abbotsford to present three options on how to deal with their garbage: build an incinerator to burn waste and create energy; ship waste to an incinerator built by Covanta at Gold River on Vancouver lsland; or continue trucking the waste to a landfill in Cache Creek.

Gaetz was at the Abbotsford meeting and said she was “quite alarmed” by the presentation.

“We asked that Metro would give an opposing view to present and originally they said yes and now they have decided no,” she said to council.

Gaetz and other critics of the Metro push for waste-to-energy ( WTE) incineration have concerns about pollution in the Fraser Valley airshed. Gaetz and others point to studies that show troubling levels of pollution from incineration. Those who back WTE say modern plants are much cleaner than they used to be.

However, Gaetz and many other Fraser Valley politicians remain unconvinced.

“We have a very sensitive airshed and it is probably one of the most fragile airsheds the world,” she said.

Gaetz pointed to Douw Steyn, a UBC scientist who has said it would be “scandalously stupid” to put an incinerator in this airshed.

The public meetings held so far have been one-sided, according to critics of the WTE proposal, so Gaetz figures Metro politicians

have made up their mind.

However, she put out a call to the people of Chilliwack to come out on June 16 to speak out and to write letters to Environment Minister and Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner, who has the final say on whatever Metro decides to do with its trash.

“Once the facility is built, it’s too late to speak your piece,” she said at Monday’s meeting, which is broadcast on Shaw TV. “Speak now or forever hold your breath. . . .

The Minister of the Environment holds the trump card. After it all goes through, this is directly in the lap of Barry Penner so please besiege his office.”

Gaetz even referred to the fight to kill the proposed Sumas Energy 2 (SE2) power plant in Washtington State from a few years ago.

“We fought hard for SE2 and that was a clean fuel,” she said. “This is garbage.”

In order to get more information out to Chilliwack residents, Gaetz put forward a motion, which was passed, to have the city’s director of engineering David Blain prepare a presentation for council “on why we may be alarmed.”

It isn’t just municipal politicians in the Fraser Valley that are concerned about Metro’s push to build an incinerator.

Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen spoke out against Metro’s plan at the May 15 meeting.

“I have a lot of confidence in Minister Barry Penner,” he said. “He will give all submissions made to him all the appropriate analysis before he makes a decision. I have confidence that he understands our need for a solid case for maintaining the quality of our air.”

Van Dongen also noted the business community was uneasy with Metro’s incinerator option.

“Not ever yone is convinced of the business case by any means. Economists [Vancouver Board of Trade, Surrey Board of Trade, chambers of commerce] generally question the analysis that has been done. We have a right to question all those things,” van Dongen said.

The June 16 meeting will be at the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn starting at 6 p.m.

Lakefront property will cost you dearly Some other values for 2010 recreational properties across Canada

T

hose looking for a piece of waterfront recreational property at Cultus or Harrison lakes will find it’s more expensive than just about anywhere else in Canada.

Only B.C. hot spots Lake Windemere, Vernon and Tofino, and Sylvan Lake, Alta. have more expensive recreational properties than the two popular local destinations, according to an annual report on recreational properties released by RE/MAX on Thursday.

The 2010 starting price for a recreational property on Cultus and Harrison lakes was reported at $800,000.

Prices listed are based on a three-bedroom winterized property on a “standard-sized” waterfront lot.

In B.C., only Tofino at $875,000, Vernon at $1.15 million and Lake Windemere at $1.2 million are more expensive. The South Okanagan is also listed at $800,000, Whistler is $799,000 and Salt Spring Island $750,000.

The 2010 RE/MAX Recreational Property Report found the recreational property market has not kept up with the rebound in residential housing.

“While sales have been strong out of the gate, the number of waterfront cottages, condominiums, and back-lot properties sold in the first quarter still fall short of pre-recession levels,” said Michael Polzler,

◗ Opinion

True art of not actually lying

T

wo things are apparent from a letter I just received from B.C. Minister of Finance Colin Hansen: 1) The provincial Liberals are finally as scared as they should be about the mistakes they made in implementing the HST; and 2) I doubt that Hansen has ever in his life looked up the word “sincerely” in an English-language dictionary.

And both are about honesty.

I suspect that the only place in B.C. where you’ll find more bull than on the government side of the Legislature these days is at the artificial insemination barns in Milner.

Strike that. Even Westgen doesn’t have to deal with as much of that by-product as we’ve been force-fed from Victoria in the past few years.

Here, to judge for yourself, is the “Honourable” Mr. Hansen’s letter: Dear Editor: One of the issues in the HST debate that needs clarification is regarding what was or was not said about the HST during the election campaign.

The question is: Did the BC Liberals promise during the election that there would be no HST? The answer is no.

What did happen? During elections, political parties receive dozens of surveys from organizations.

These surveys are answered on behalf of candidates by individuals working out of the party headquarters. In response to two surveys

BOB GROENEVELD

Be Our Guest asking about the HST, the answer was sent out, quite correctly, that the HST “is not something that is contemplated in the BC Liberal platform.”

Other than those surveys, the subject of the HST was never raised during the election by the media, by the NDP or in any of the debates.

After the election, Finance Ministry staff brought forward new information regarding the HST that led the government to decide in July to eliminate the PST and harmonize the provincial seven per cent share with the federal GST. Sincerely, Colin Hansen, Minister of Finance In truly inspiring fashion, Hansen carefully distinguishes between lying and not telling the truth.

He’s right that the media didn’t ask him or his Liberal colleagues directly about the HST. Nobody from the media asked him if he thought a giant whale would swallow Victoria, either. Why would they?

When you get down to it, his letter is pure art. I particularly

love the carefully sculpted survey responses: “is not something that is contemplated in the BC Liberal platform.”

Beauty. Of course it wasn’t, because if it were “contemplated in the BC Liberal platform,” they would have got those questions from the media that they now claim—truthfully, if not honestly— they weren’t asked.

The platform wasn’t a lie, it just wasn’t the truth—a significant distinction to a politician, and the HST debate makes it clear why.

Take the ministry staff that “brought forward new information” after the election—only hours, perhaps minutes, after the election.

We don’t know how much “new information” Hansen’s staff dredged up so quickly, but surely, to maintain the minister’s concept of “sincerely,” something “new” was found.

Amazingly, a government that can take months to deal with the simplest legislative initiatives, needed only two days, fresh off the campaign trail, to scrutinize all that “new” information and come up with a plan to revamp the entire provincial taxation system.

I believe it.

Of course, I’m known as a bit of a gullible sort. But I do believe it. I do. Sincerely. ◗ Bob Groeneveld is the editor of the Langley Advance.

t doesn’t matter whether Sardis teacher Jason Epp is innocent or guilty, he should not have been teaching on May 3, after school officials became aware of sexual allegations against Epp. The school district claims they strictly followed a convolutedly-worded protocol that governs how schools responds to allegations of abuse by district staff.

We have no reason to not believe the school. However, a protocol that allows teachers who are the subject of allegations of abuse to teach, is a protocol that needs to be revised.

At this point the charges against Jason Epp are just that, charges. Nothing has been proven. But whatever the case, teachers alleged to have had inappropriate contact with students should not be in the classroom while an investigation is ongoing.

The district and the union acted appropriately in removing Epp from the classroom on May 4. But he should not have taught April 30 or May 3. It’s fine for him to be paid while on leave; he is, after all, innocent until proven guilty, as several readers have pointed out this week, and should not be punished until he gets his day in court.

But we should prize the education and well-being of our children ahead of their teachers. And that should mean that the attendance at school by the student who brings forth allegations should take precedence over the presence of the teacher.

In this day and age of worries about legal responsibility, school districts should also be worried about covering its own butt. We aren’t lawyers but the school district’s protocol seems to leave it, and those who fund it, open to legal liability if a teacher under investigation ever is found to have committed a crime.

And we’ll all be on the hook for that.

Serious consequences with gravel mine Editor: The proposed gravel mine in the Chilliwack River valley has some disturbing implications.

Located on Larsons Bench (approximately three kilometre upstream of the Slesse Creek hatchery), this mine will be a significant industrial operation. The site is over 50 soccer fields big.

Although a 90 metre buffer is called for along Chilliwack Lake Road, much of the site has already been clear-cut, right to the edge of the road.

Estimated gravel truck traffic could be 50 return trips daily. The life of the mine is estimated as 40 years.

This area of the valley bottom has previously been designated (by the Aggregate Pilot Plan), as a red zone area in which no gravel extraction is allowed.

Ecologically, the Chilliwack River Valley is an important area. Deer and bear are often seen in this area. The fishery is world class. The hatchery and upstream spawning channels are fed in part by Pierce Creek—which flows across the site. Recreational use in many forms continues to grow annually.

The hydrology of this valley is poorly understood.

Many believe past forestry practices have contributed to the increasing number of floods and landslides in the valley. Chilliwack Lake Road is over capacity (note the weekend traffic and the summer gridlock at Vedder Bridge). Road shoulders are marginal and missing in areas upstream of Vedder Bridge. Pedestrian and cycle traffic is already adversely affected by aggressive car and truck traffic. Chilliwack Lake Road is the only practical road in and out of the valley. Events such as road closures put emergency services at risk.

The days are gone when industrial operations could extract natural resources with little regard for the consequences to our environment. The Chilliwack River Valley is too valuable to risk for the sake of shortterm profit. We cannot allow an outdated Mining Act to allow this to happen. Before this application is approved a thorough environmental review must take place.

Vet goes over and beyond Editor: I am writing this letter to say a huge thank you to a wonderful vet in our community, his name is Jack Anvik.

Over a month ago my dog developed this lump on her head, we took her to one vet they said it was a tumour, we didn’t believe them, so we waited, then we went to another vet, Dr. Anvik. He saw our dog and did some tests and confirmed it was a mass tumour. We, as any loving pet owners, wanted to do whatever to save our beloved pet, so we schedueled surgery.

The day before surgery Dr. Anvik called telling us out of his own pocket he did another test, telling us that this was a very vicious cancer and that we should euthanize our dog. Well, that is a hard decision for anyone to make, but we came to the decision to do so and do what was right for our beloved pet.

Since we made that decision I have always asked myself, what if we operated on her, well this morning I woke up to an e-mail that helped me close another door and heal from the loss of our pet. Dr. Anvik took his time to explain in detail what would have happened. This meant so much to me that he took his time to do that, as well

as was honest with us. A lot of vets will just operate and take your money, I appreciate Dr. Anvik’s honesty, love and caring towards his clients and his pet patients.

I would just like the community to know what a wonderful vet he is and how I appreciated his honestly during this difficult time.

Truckers need better wages Editor: I get angry when I see government and industry money spent on programs to entice people into the trucking industry while I am sitting at home with over 30 years of trucking and equipment operating experience, and can’t find a decent paying job.

There is no shortage of trucking personnel in North America and I say North America because I am a Canadian who has trucked Canada and the U.S. since 1974 and Canada since 1968.

What we have is wages and rates (because I have worked as an owner/operator and driver and independent trucker and know all sides of trucking) that are too low for the regulations the government has brought on the industry.

To put it short and to the point: Not enough money is being paid to keep drivers, and in my case, owner/operators in business.

Instead of wasting taxpayer money helping the multi-conglomerates keep a slave workforce make the multi-conglomerates pay decent wages for truckers.

Truckers are like doctors and should be paid the same

wage scale.

If a doctor makes a mistake, a patient will feel very ill or possibly die.

If a trucker makes a mistake more than one person could be injured or die and many could be sick from food poisoning due to setting the temperature wrong on a reefer or not cleaning the trailer properly and contaminating the next load.

Yet here we have truckers expected to work for about $10 to $20 per hour and doctors working for over $60 to $200 plus per hour.

Truckers get hit with all kinds of fines for every part of their many tasks they perform during the day or night which is all documented and audited and also fined if it is not documented, plus, if they did not document it the right way, plus keep the documents for a long enough period.

Please tell me the other professions or jobs that have to have documents detailing all daily time and tasks and their rates of pay and risks to the public if the worker makes a mistake.

I am 57 years old and have a wide range of experience more than most in trucking and equipment operating and have not found a job so far after selling my Peterbilt highway tractor and 53-foot reefer trailer that will pay me at least $25 per hour.

Why is that?

And here we have the government and industry promoting to girls to go trucking. Get real. The real reason is to not pay decent wages, which causes turnover in the industry so they want to sucker girls into the industry.

Girls usually turn into mothers and children need mothers at home after school to give them direction and to protect them.

About the time that girl has finished costing the company money learning she will quit. Now the girl or young lady should be making the company money from her new skills but she will become a mother, and no longer want to be away from home. Nor can she be out on the road in distant cities and mountains with snow blizzards chaining truck and trailer up, with a young baby needing multi-diaper changes, washed milk bottles, and

steady even temperatures, to keep the baby healthy.

With a male being a driver making a decent wage and his mate keeping his home and children healthy it is a far better for North America and it was how we became two great countries.

I am not against a female taking up a truck driving job, which is normal for the odd female cause they can’t all be young mothers. But spending money to entice young girls is wrong, spend it on older women, who are not needed at home to raise children cause they have finished raising their children.

I might add, think twice or maybe three times before sending those children off to foreign countries where they will be killed they could be our truck drivers.

When I started trucking you did not drive a truck until you knew how to fix it first, before you were turned loose with a semi to head out across country.

Sheila Fraser deserves praise IMPORTED NEW Editor: For federal MPs not to approve Sheila Fraser’s audit request is possibly understandable but hopefully it will once again raise the ire of most taxpayers.

It’s particularly important to make sure the senators are within their entitlements because in my mind they are the real freeloaders in government and have been caught in the past for irregularities.

It was mentioned that Hedy Fry and Ujjal Dosanjh were two of the panel MPs who rejected the audit and maybe that should be reason enough to proceed with it—if indeed there is a way to proceed.

Surprisingly, Gilles Duceppe publically welcomed the whole idea but that may have been because he knew the others wouldn’t —and will certainly get him re-elected in his riding.

Auditor-General Sheila Fraser emerges as the hero in all of this and gets my vote for “woman of the year.”

If your water tank leaks

(NC)—There’s no set time for upgrading your tank, says Dave Walton at Direct Energy.

“The lifespan of a hot water tank depends on a number of factors including how it is used (i.e. residential, commercial), water temperature, and water quality (i.e. water hardness) on the premises. If your tank was well matched to your consumption requirements and local water quality, it should provide hot water for a number of years efficiently and without interruption.

“However, if you’ve noticed a leak coming from the tank, I would suggest contacting your local water heater contractor. Your contractor can inspect the tank, and tell you whether the leak may be due to a loose valve

Don’t get caught without air conditioning this season...

or simply old age.

“If your contractor identifies a leak as being a result of a loose drain valve, he likely can fix it by tightening up the valve. Another valve your contractor will likely look at is the temperature and pressure relief valve. A common reason for this valve to stop working properly is lime build up. Your options in that instance are to de-lime the tank, or think about replacing the tank.

“If the leak is simply due to old age, speak to your contractor about your options for replacement.”

More information on hot water tanks is available online at www.directenergy.com or toll-free at 1-888-334-8221.

Is your air conditioner ready for summer?

Remember any flowers and bushes need to be planted at least 24 inches from the outside edge of the unit. “It’s also important to have an idea of where you’ve stored your warranty and what it covers. The average lifespan of the average air conditioner is approximately 15 years under normal usage conditions.

You want to find a warranty which offers at least ten years on the compressor and five years on all other parts,” Walton explains.

Finally, an air conditioner nearing the end of its life span may not be as energy efficient as a newer unit. A high efficiency unit operates at 13 SEER and above; this means it uses less energy to operate.

(NC)—In some parts of Canada warmer weather is already making an arrival. Before the really hot days arrive, Dave Walton, director of home ideas at Direct Energy reminds homeowners to make sure their air conditioner is ready to face the heat.

“An annual maintenance for the air conditioner really does help it run more efficiently during the summer season, and can extend the longevity of the equipment,” said Walton.

There are a few things homeowners can do before the licensed technician arrives. If you have covered your air conditioner for the winter months, remove and gently hose off any dirt and debris from the outdoor unit.

Nothing sweeter than peas

S

weet peas and their relatives are among the most beautiful of plant families—and if you pick them frequently, many kinds are reliable flowerers through late spring, summer and fall. Many release great skeins of scent into the air.

Generally, they take up almost no garden space since most are climbers that try to haul themselves up into sunshine by their thin, wiry tendrils. Large-space gardeners often grow them in lines (like garden peas) in flower beds or cutting gardens. But in small-space gardens, a garden fence lined with branchy prunings or netting is often a better situation.

An obelisk or the type of teepee used for beans is also a good way to display sweet peas. But since pea tendrils don’t grab onto thick stakes, any teepee or obelisk will also need pea netting or something similar.

I was in a garden once where an umbrella-shaped teepee of living willow saplings was a home for sweet peas every year. The willow’s lower side branches had to be pruned frequently. It was a lovely structure – and the amount of hard work involved was also impressive!

Sweet peas are annuals that love rich soil and a good watering once a week. Organic matter in the soil, like: manure, Sea Soil or

ANNE MARRISON

Green Thumb compost, keeps the plant healthy and flowers coming. Mulching helps to retain moisture. Sweet peas like gentle moisture but hate having water-soaked soil hanging around their roots for long periods.

Because they don’t like being transplanted, sweet peas are usually grown from seed either started inside in winter or outside very early in spring. Coastal gardeners sometimes plant the seeds outside in fall.

These have such a hard coat (like lupins) that they need to be soaked or cut slightly with a knife or rubbed gently between two sheets of sand-paper. Because of their transplant problems, peat pots or newspaper pots are the best way to start sweet pea seeds inside.

I’m not a big fan of compostable type pots because each rim must be well-buried to stop it drying out and wicking dryness down around the roots.

Also if peat or newspaper pots are left intact and the soil is allowed to dry too much, the pot

can fail to decay and pea roots can get imprisoned. That’s why it’s important to rip the sides of compostable pots during planting outside.

Plant breeders have now created sweet peas in unusual colours such as ‘Apricot Sprite (Veyseys), ‘Royal Navy Blue’ (Chiltern) and deep maroon-red ‘Midnight’ (Thompson and Morgan).

There are also bicolours such as the ‘Streamer’ series in lavender, orange, chocolate, pink and scarlet all striped with white (T&T Seeds) and new habits of growth such as the dwarf kneehigh types which stand alone.

Some, like ‘Snoopea’ (T & M), have no tendrils.

Some of the new types also have no fragrance. Others have a ‘light fragrance’ which sometimes means the fragrance is almost undetectable.

The more intense fragrances are usually concentrated in the ‘heirloom’ types. These include the ‘Old Spice’ mix, the ‘Painted Lady’ strain in biolour pink and white, and the ancient variety ‘Matucana,’ which has small purple and bi-colour blooms and is said to resemble the original wild sweet pea from Sicily and southern Italy. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions.

Three ways to make your habitat wildlife-friendly

Get your property certified

BY SARAH COULBER

I

f you’re like me, you love listening to the sweet song of birds or catching a glimpse of a brightly-coloured butterfly fluttering by. There is so much beauty to enjoy in the natural world—and so much to benefit from, too.

For instance, insects such as bees and butterflies are important worldwide for their pollinating abilities.

Thanks to pollinators we enjoy chocolate, fruit, cotton pajamas and more.

With the continuous loss of our wild spaces, Canadian wildlife rely more and more on gardens, be it a window box or a grand estate—for their survival. To make your property inviting, incorporate as many of the following elements as possible: 1.Meet the four needs of wildlife – food, water, shelter space Food Plant a variety of trees, shrubs, vines and herbaceous perennials. Together they will provide nectar, pollen, seeds and fruit.

Consider the four seasons as you plan your garden, with early spring flowers for returning and awakening animals right through to seeds and berries that remain on flowering plants and shrubs during the winter months.

Water If you don’t have a natural source of water and your budget is tight, don’t worry, even a simple dish of water will work. Clean the dish when it begins to look dirty and change the water at least twice a week. This helps eliminate both germs and mosquitoes.

Shelter By growing a variety of plants, you give animals the chance to rest, nest and escape both predators and inclement weather. Evergreen trees (which keep their needles) are helpful to keep off cold winter winds while deciduous trees (which shed their leaves) are great for many creatures in the summer months.

The trunks of both are useful for cavity-nesting birds, as are snags (dead standing trees). To keep your snag safe for humans, trim the top back to approximately two metres and remove any branches that are a cause for concern.

Make or leave existing rock and brush piles, put up a bat house and leave fallen trees on your property for those cute and bug-hungry salamanders.

Space Birds and other

creatures view your property in three-dimensional terms. Including diverse layers of vegetation with varying heights and textures increases the space of your habitat. It’s like adding rooms and furniture to a bare four-walled house.

2. Garden earth-friendly The key to earth-friendly gardening is the avoidance of chemical pesticides —both insecticides and herbicides. When you spray

pesticides on weeds or pesky insects, you’re also harming other organisms and wildlife. Moreover, pesticides can also be harmful to human health and enter our waterways, affecting environments far beyond your garden.

Other ways to be a green gardener is to use natural fertilizers, such as compost or manure. When you mow your lawn, leave the blades at three inches high to protect grass roots from the

sun and reduce the chance of weed seeds germinating.

Grasscycling—leaving your grass clippings where they fall—is another great way to return nutrients to your soil and save you time as well.

3. Naturalized your habitat Regionally native plants (those that have grown wild in your area for many centuries) generally require less maintenance and are better able to meet the needs of local wildlife than exotic

flora. Many wildlife species are dependent on the presence of native vegetation for their survival. Some cultivated plants have blooms that make it harder for pollinators to find their food while others have lost their pollen producing capacity entirely.

The Canadian Wildlife Federation’s Backyard Habitat Certification Program acknowledges the efforts of Canadians in welcoming wildlife to their outdoor

space—be it a small urban patch or a rolling estate.

If you think your property meets the habitat needs of wildlife, the CWF would love to hear from you. If certified, you receive a colourful certificate and decal. To date the CWF has certified more than 400 properties and hopes to pass the 500 mark this summer. Perhaps it will be yours. Visit WildAboutGardening.org today to learn how to register.

Faith Today

BY SCOTT STREET Chilliwack House Churches

A

vatar was a pretty spectacular movie. Maybe I’m saying that because I have two small children and it seems like the last time I was in a movie theatre was a long, long time ago, or maybe it was because I was in the second row and it seemed like I was actually in the movie.

One of the interesting themes I picked up on in the movie was the notion that our real lives are not our real lives. At times it seems that our “connected” world (connected to the internet, cellphones, e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, etc), is becoming increasingly isolated from other people. We can bring who we really are online, but not to real life.

I don’t think this is just an issue

Experience real community for those who are living online. I think it is just an outlet that points to a bigger problem many people experience. Through this I ask the question whether this type of fake community will really bring any fulfillment to us.

A writer named Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said, “He who loves his dream of community more than the Christian community itself becomes a destroyer of the latter, even though his personal intentions may be ever so honest and earnest and sacrificial.”

At times I believe I have been guilty of wanting my dream of community more than real community. Personally, I desire a

smooth-running, conflict-free environment that strokes my ego and leaves me feeling satisfied.

I think that form of community, while it initially leaves me feeling good, ultimately leaves me feeling empty. Why? It isn’t real. It doesn’t exist. It is a shame and it is fake.

Real community happens in relationship when there is challenge, conflict, laughter, sacrifice, commitment beyond right now, compromise, etc. I know that it is often the difficult conversations or times in my marriage (or friendships) that lead to deeper understanding. Whether that be experiencing grace for my failures, or a new understanding of my wife

and her needs, entering into what seems to be the more difficult brings a deeper sense of oneness and connection to us.

I think we miss out on what real relationship could be when we pull out too early and don’t work through some issues we could resolve with courage, humility and the willingness to look in the mirror.

So, what would happen with our experience of community if we started asking questions like: what can I give to my friends/spouse/ kids (not what can they give me)?; who needs my help right now (not who can help me)?; who can I encourage today (not who will encourage me)?; who can I accept

unconditionally today (not who will accept me)?

Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m running from seeing my ideals of community being unfulfilled.

What I can’t shake is my experience, that when I have entered into community with an “others first” approach something great happens. And sometimes I get my needs met too.

May you experience real community this week, and may you be spared from experiencing your “ideal” community.

Record-setting racer

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

H

e may be lightning quick on the track, but Unity Christian school track star Travis Vugteveen is taking his good ol’ time deciding which school to endow with his athletic and academic talents.

Tuesday at the Fraser Valley High School Championships in Abbotsford, Vugteveen blew away the competition in the 800-metre event, setting a Fraser Valley record of 151.50 and falling less than a second short of topping the 26year-old B.C. High School record. It’s no surprise, then, that Vugteveen, who also competes in the 400-metre, drawing interest from colleges above and below the 49th parallel.

“I’ve been talking to a couple universities,” Vugteveen cryptically told the Times. He said he’ll likely attend school in Canada, but where exactly has not yet been determined.

Last year, in Grade 11, he won the provincial 800-metre crown and came fifth in the nation, while helping the provincial 4x400-metre relay squad claim gold.

This year, Vugteveen has his eye on

Travis Vugteveen is in no hurry to decide where he’ll go to school next first place. He has the pedigree, having posted five of the top 800-metre times in the nation last year. He just needs to put it together on the big stage.

The lanky and low-key runner is unflinchingly modest about his talents.

Asked what his goals are for this year, he tells the Times, “I want to race well, run fast.” Ditto for his future goals, which include studying kinesiology and running in university.

Pressed, he admits, “It would be really cool to make senior national teams, but I guess I’ll focus on smaller goals and re-evaluate as we go.”

The word “senior” in that quote is key; Vugteveen has already worn Canadian colours, having placed 17th of more than 60 runners at last year’s World Youth Championship in Italy.

Vugteveen’s general philosophy seems to be, “I’ll see how that goes.”

Fortunately, and to his credit, he can afford to take his time.

Not only is Vugteveen a speed demon on the track, but he’s not too shabby in

the classroom either.

His Unity Christian track coach Mark Huberts says Vugteveen is a gifted student and a leader at the school.

“He represents Unity Christian really well,” he said. “I think that’s probably the best thing about him: his character.”

A former high-level soccer player, Vugteveen decided to dedicate himself to track after a hip injury. He has trained and competed with the Valley Royals track team in Abbotsford and last year put up a personal best of 1:53.14 in the 800 metres. His time last week shattered that mark. (By comparison, Canadian runners had to run faster than 1:46 to qualify for the 2008 Olympics).

Focusing on track, Huberts said, has only increased his pupil’s potential.

“Once he puts his mind to something, he accomplishes it,” said Huberts. “His future is super-bright.

“I wouldn’t be surprised to see him running for Team Canada in the Olympics.”

Life not such a drag for Hooper Dialed in to racing

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he third time was a charm for Chilliwack senior secondary drag racer Benjamin Hooper this month With only two races under his belt since joining the team last year, Hooper took top spot at the team’s first race of the B.C. High School Drag Racing season May 7.

The all-day event at the Mission Raceway didn’t start off without a hitch either.

During time trials, the school’s gray 1980 Malibu station wagon wasn’t performing up to par, so Hooper “dialed in” a lower time than the car was capable of.

(In bracket racing, the driver who clock’s the time closest to what he or she predicts wins.)

It turned out the Malibu’s problem was bad gas, but once the issue was rectified, Hooper couldn’t predict how the car would run, so he stuck to his original dial time of 18 seconds.

“It added a whole new lev-

The car would launch like a 14-second-car yet I had to keep it to an 18-second-car.”

Hooper finessed his way

through nine elimination rounds to beat out 46 drivers and knock off two top racers from Abbotsford Christian.

Not bad for a 16-year-old who has yet to earn his N. Despite his win, however, Hooper remains modest.

“I’m still pretty much a novice at it,” he said.

Hooper’s three teammates also put in solid performances.

First year racers Wesley Liebault, Grade 11, and Lisa Steensland, Grade 12, got their first taste of the track, and Liebault made it to the third round before being beat out by teammate Hooper.

Second-year racer Holly Clarke, Grade 12, also made it to the third round.

Every year the CSS drag racing program, run by automotive teacher Kevin Moore, attracts students with a wide range of interests.

Some, like Hooper who is already an automotive apprentice, plan to enter the automotive industry. Others are attracted by the “wow” factor of being part of a racing team.

L a s t y e a r’s g ra d u a t e s include racers who went on to apprentice at local automotive shops as well as one who is pursuing a career in veterinary medicine.

U-21 women split games

Kayak star shines

he sun shone down on Squamish and Chilliwack kayaker Jazmyne Denhollander this weekend, as the Chilliwack star captured the top spot in the K1-W division at the 2010 National Junior Slalom Team Trials.

With her victory Denhollander, the reigning senior national champion, claimed a much-coveted spot on the national junior slalom team.

Denhollander and her

teammates will represent Canada in July at the Junior World Championships in Foix, France.

The team trials—which consisted of four races— took part on the Mamquam River that runs just outside of the Squamish city limits.

Although the river is situated in a serene and tranquil area, the racing was anything but as kayakers fought for their place on the team.

C

hilliwack FC’s U-21 women’s side dropped its first game of the season to the NSGSC Eagles Saturday at Exhibition Stadium.

CFC dominated play in the first half but were unable to put the ball into the Eagles’ net. Diana Cochrane scored the game’s lone goal for the Eagles in the second half to hand Chilliwack a 1-0 defeat they didn’t deserve.

Chilliwack made amends the following day, as they buried Okanagan Whitecaps FC 2-1. Danika Snook and Chelsea Steffen scored goals for CFC, which moved into third place in the PCSL, with a 2-1 record.

Jazmyne Denhollander

CFC’s reserve women side also fell on Saturday, 1-0 to TSS Academy.

On the men’s reserve side of the ledger, Chilliwack dropped a pair of heartbreakers in the Okanagan.

CFC lost 3-2 to the Penticton Pinnacles on Saturday. Koby Byrne and Jeremy Amberg scored in a losing cause.

The story was the same on Sunday, as Chilliwack lost 3-2 to Okanagan Whitecaps FC. Brent Wantke and Brian Davis notched markers as Chilliwack fell to 0-3 on the years.

Chilliwack has now surrendered 10 goals in its first three games.

Just

Say No

Older role models show how it’s done

M

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

Chilliwack secondary Grade 12 student Brady Moore sets a bad example for middle school kids trying to say no to alcohol, drugs and smoking in a Chilliwack secondary school drama presentation called Just Say No at the Chilliwack Arts Centre Tuesday.

ore than 1,000 Grade 4 students from across the Chilliwack school district got an entertaining lesson in how to say no to drugs from older role models this week.

For the 15th year, the Optimist Club of Chilliwack sponsored the Just Say No drama presentation at the Chilliwack Arts Centre on Tuesday and Wednesday. This is the third consecutive year that every school in School District No. 33 attended the performance. All of the schools were invited to attend the four shows free of charge as the Optimist Club donated $1,000 to

the Chilliwack secondary school drama department, paid for the hall rental and worked in partnership with the school district which supplied the busing costs less a $600 transportation donation also made by the Optimist Club.

“This is an amazing feat of co-operation between a service club and the school district,” said Glenda Standeven of the Optomist club. “Without the support of the busing department and the school board this could never happen.”

Standeven has been the coordinator of this particular event since it began 15 years ago. She is

very pleased with the CSS drama department which, under the guidance of teacher Brent Moore, continues to provide quality performances each year.

“It’s basically the same show that they put together 15 years ago but every year it’s updated with current trends,” said Standeven.

“The show demonstrates to our kids how to say no to drugs, alcohol and tobacco with a few extra risks such as ‘stranger danger’ thrown in,” she said. “They present very real situations in a clear, understandable fashion so that kids are aware of the dangers that

are out there and are given tools to help them stay safe. It’s a program I feel very proud to be part of.

Unfortunately, there’s no guarantees that our children will never become substance abusers but we all have to do our part to try and educate the kids to the dangers that are out there.”

While this 15th season of performances was a success, Standeven is concerned it may be the last because of the closure of the Chilliwack Arts Centre to make way for the new arts and cultural centre.

Because Just Say No involved student actors and audience, the

Arts Centre had given the Optimist Club the cheapest daily rate available, at $200 per day. The new theatre in the cultural centre will charge at least $1,000 a day plus a per student fee, which is unaffordable, according to Standeven.

“Hopefully we can work within the existing school district facilities such as utilizing G.W. Graham’s excellent theatre, as that would be one way we could afford to keep this program running,” she said.

“For now, this week’s performances mark the end of an era for our Just Say No drama production at the Arts Centre.”

he Chilliwack Academy of Music is pleased to announce its annual Honours Recital on May 29 at 2 p.m. at St. Thomas Church.

This event celebrates the many awards and accomplishments earned by academy students by inviting a number of them to perform. And the event is free for all of the public.

“The Honours Recital is a way for the community to see what our students have been up to this year and share in their success,” says academy principal Graham Yates. “The recital is only about an hour long, but in fact we have so many students who have won awards this year that it is impractical to

invite them all to perform, or even to make an accurate and complete list of their names.”

Invitees include those who have won scholarships through the academy’s in-house scholarship competition, excelled at Royal Conservatory exams and won trophies at the Lion’s Music Festival. One highlight at this year’s recital is the Chilliwack Women’s Chorus, a subset of the Chilliwack Festival Chorus, directed by Paula Quick. After its performance at the Music Festival, the adjudicator recommended the chorus to represent the region at the Performing Arts BC Provincial Festival in Duncan, May 23 to 27. Having

returned home from this experience, they will perform three numbers at the May 29 Honours Recital. ◗ The Chilliwack Academy of Music is a non-profit, charitable organization founded in 1979. Currently it instructs 550 students, with dozens more impacted through community service initiatives. On Sept. 2, the academy will open its doors in the new Cultural Centre where it will program 18 private instruction studios and three group classrooms. Registration for new students begins July 5. More information can be found online at www.chwkacademyofmusic.org.

11 p.m. and 4 a.m.

The Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Forests and Range, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts and the RCMP are teaming up to patrol recreation sites and forest service roads to ensure people are enjoying recreational activities safely and responsibly, according to Environment Minister Barry Penner.

“These patrols will help protect public safety and the health of B.C.’s environment,” said Penner in a press release issued Thursday. “We want people to use ATVs and other recreational vehicles in a responsible way without causing harm to themselves or the environment. We also want to remind everyone that it is illegal to litter and that it is their responsibility to properly manage food and other attractants to prevent conflicts with wildlife.”

Last year, Ministry of Environment compliance and enforcement actions resulted in a total of 34 court convictions, 2,181 tickets and more than $1.1 million in fines.

ith the weather turning for the better, the RCMP is planning to crack down on liquor and drug crimes and will increase its presence at popular summer hangouts.

Police will work with B.C. Parks and forestry staff, along with local security and patrol groups to step up activity around the region.

The RCMP is vowing to seize and fine those possessing open liquor. A fine of $115 (or $230 for minors) will be laid on those who booze in public.

RCMP spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbeck said the Upper Fraser Valley area can receive as many as three million visitors over the course of a summer, starting with May long weekend.

“May long weekend is the beginning of our notolerance for the entire summer and the reason that is imposed is to keep everybody safe,” said Wolbeck.

The police is also reminding the public that an overnight camping ban is in effect between Vedder and Tamihi bridges along Chilliwack Lake Road. No parking or camping is allowed in the area between

WILLS

AND

ESTATES

Drafting points for setting up a will Entitlement Entitlement is based on circumstances, but in any event, such battles are very costly, and as a general rule, such costs are payable by the estate. It is especially important for you to obtain legal advice regarding the preparation and drafting of your Will, if you anticipate that there may be the possibility of litigation between your beneficiaries. Of course, the ultimate weapon to prevent such bickering, is to ensure that there is no money left in your estate when you die. Unfortunately (depending on your point of view), few people know exactly when this moment will occur.

Introduction These are a series of articles relating to topics hopefully of interest, such as “Wills”, “Powers of Attorney”, “Living Wills”, and “Committeeship”.

These topics are important to most people, but have a special relevance to those, like yourselves, who probably have a family member or close friend with alzheimers, or those who wish to prepare in the unfortunate case that you may become mentally disabled yourself. The articles will touch

on those matters which I think are most important, but they will not be completely exhaustive, and address special issues each reader may have.

What is a Will?

A Will is a document prepared by you, or on your behalf, which takes effect upon your death to direct those who survive how to deal with your property, financial affairs, and to a limited extent, your body. For a Will to be valid, it must meet the requirements of the Wills Act of British Columbia

A Will is a document prepared by you, or on your behalf, which takes effect upon your death.

Rules for Preparing a Valid Will The basic rules of preparing a valid Will include the following: 1. The Will must be in writing and signed by the person making it (testator (male) or testatrix

(female)) in the presence of two witnesses who must not be beneficiaries in the Will. If you make the mistake of having a beneficiary named in the Will sign as a witness to the Will, the beneficiary is disentitled to receive the bequest under the Will.

2. If you have made a previous Will, you will have to revoke all former Wills in the new one.

3. You must have “testamentary capacity” or the ability to know what you know and understand your Will is and what it does, at the time you made and signed your Will. A person with a mental illness is capable of properly signing a Will, provided the person has testamentary capacity when the Will is prepared and signed. If there is any question whether or not the person making the Will is mentally competent to do so, it would be prudent to co-ordinate the Will drafting and signing process with input from a physician or psychiatrist.

4. The Will must be legible and provide coherent and understandable instructions. If you choose to prepare your own Will (and I advise against 05217923

it), your Will will speak for itself. Ignore any temptation to be silly or clever in your Will, as this could cause others to question your testamentary capacity to make the Will.

ing your Will, the Will will be read as if your ex-spouse predeceased you. Your will remains valid if you become mentally incapable of changing it after you make it.

5. The Will must be prepared of your own free will, and represent your voluntary wishes.

Your Will remains valid if you become mentally incapable of changing it after you make it.

What Makes a Will Invalid?

There are a number of things that can make a Will invalid. For example, a Will is invalid if it does not comply with one of the previously mentioned rules. If you marry after making your Will, the marriage voids the Will unless the Will specifically provides that it was made in contemplation of an upcoming marriage.

Additionally, if you have been divorced after prepar-

ESTATES

and/or your children within the provisions of your Will. For example, if you choose to disinherit one of your children, for reasons which might seem valid to you, your disinherited child will have an opportunity to apply to the Courts to vary your Will pursuant to the Wills Variation Act. Such a variation could occur on the basis that even though your disinherited child may not have had a model relationship with you, as a loving parent you ought to have made reasonable provision for this child in your Will.

Court Jurisdiction Even if you make a valid Will, the Courts do have jurisdiction to alter the terms of your Will if it is apparent that you have not properly provided for your spouse

TAYLOR, ANITA “LOUISE”

GRADUATES NAME Message Text

Our Chilliwack General Hospital is the best place to be when you are ill and in need of care.

My heartfelt thanks to the Paramedics, Doctors, Nurses Aids and everyone on the 4th floor who looked after me May 8 - May 11, 2010, resulting in a speedy recovery.

Congratulations to the many improvements since my last stay in 2008.

Louise parted peacefully on May 12th to join her husband Fred on her next journey. Lovingly remembered by her children; daughter Dawn James and granddaughter Lyndsay; son Brett (Jill) Taylor, grandsons Trevor, Cory (Cara) and great- grandchildren Sean, Hailee, Alyssa and Riley, granddaughter Jennifer; daughter Darcelle (Vince) McGee, grandsons Brandon and Jerrod; son Blake (Nancy) Taylor and granddaughter Maria; sisters Terri (Ed) White and Gloria Sheets. Mom’s very special dog Daisy will miss her companionship, love and warm cuddly lap.

Family and friends will miss Mom’s sense of humour and her strong commitment to family. Her gatherings and dinners were filled with great feasts (lots of gravy), much laughter, love and the best gingersnaps!

Mom was strong, independent and a brave soul. She understood her time was now and set to join Dad in hockey heaven, and after the playoffs they’ll be off golfing or walking.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date for family and friends.

This day is remembered and quietly kept No words are needed We shall never forget For those we love don’t go away They walk beside us every day Unseen and unheard, but always near So loved, so missed, and so very dear.

FEATURED EMPLOYMENT Proud Chilliwack winner of “Employer of the Year” and “Manufacturing Award for 2009 Business Excellence” is looking for a

Class 1 Truck Driver.

November 30, 1926 ~ May 3, 2010 We lost our mom, Luise Hobek, suddenly on May 3 2010. She was pre-deceased by our father, Henry Hobek and her grandson Zachary Hobek.

Our mom was a woman who gave all for her family.

She and our father worked hard to ensure that we were always safe and secure and loved.

Mom bandaged countless skinned knees and kissed many bruises as we were growing up. She was proud of her home and the life that she and our father had made here in Canada.

No matter how early the morning, she was there with us at our hockey games. When we had needles to take, she was with us holding our hands to let us know we were safe. Christmas was always full of wonderful Austrian baking “vanille kipferln and rum kugeln” and birthdays always had the best homemade cakes. Mom made the best “gummi knoedeln”. We always had clean clothes to wear and food in our stomachs.

Mom enjoyed all her grandchildren and loved to play with them and make them laugh.

Mom and dad did all for us and we are very, very grateful to have had these two for our parents. A more wonderful Mom and Dad we could never have asked for.

Mom, we will miss you and we love you very much. Thank you for everything.

Jim, Laura, Jakob and Calvin. Jack, Michelle, Courtney, Mercedes, Zachary and Ashley.

Congratulations!

Love Mom & Dad

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: A busy, detail-filled month lies ahead. Your luck has been low, but it soon will climb or reach equilibrium (early June through early September). Sunday/Monday feature relationships and opportunities. These are a tough slog Sunday – you might reach a final separation point or showdown over a domestic, career or similar situation. Don’t expect fireworks, just deep, thoughtful commitment to a path.

Monday’s the opposite – everything works when you admit your own fears, failings! Secrets, inheritances, investments, other people’s money fascinate you midweek: but a major problem lurks.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The few weeks ahead bring reduced energy levels, quietude and sweet solitude, spiritual nudges and administrative or governmental contacts. It’s a good time to contemplate and plan your future. When doing that planning, realize that June through August will favour your ambitions, and contacts with bosses and VIPs. Worldwide, this will also be a turbulent time – and in crisis there are opportunities. Your relationship, ambition and security/ domestic zones all face change (or at least, adventure!).

Sunday holds either deep affection or deep rejection.

Your romantic, creative urges rise midweek.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Expect four weeks of internationalism, higher learning, far travel, publishing and legal, cultural events – and love! But an April/May trend of intimacy, financial commitment or research with someone representing one of these zones, will continue. E.g., if you became intimate with someone in April or May, you might now see love dawning, or travel to see them. Or, if you researched, you might now publish, or take it to a court of law. Or an investment/ business partnership you explored might become a signed contract. Your charisma, energy soar Sunday/ Monday. Careful Sunday in career/home.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Tackle chores Sunday/ Monday – that’s better than getting into trouble by siding with one person or the other when they argue (Sunday). Relationships bless you Tuesday, but anger is close to the surface Wednesday. Life’s mysteries, depths and deep nurturing rise to consciousness Thursday/Friday. Your financial and sensual instincts surge – but something you start now might meet a longterm (romantic and financial) barrier. Saturday brings initial stress (around noon) then wisdom and mellow thoughts. The weeks ahead emphasize earnings, purchases, possessions, memory and sensual joys.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead bring wish fulfillment, popularity, flirtations, entertainment, optimism and joyful plans! You could start a love affair; it could lead to marriage, or bring travel to a foreign country. Expect success in legal, educational, cultural, love, publishing, far travel and similar zones. But this might be just a taste of success, Leo – don’t force matters, be willing to wait until 2011 if success doesn’t fully gel. Much talk Sunday (watch underground resentments or sneaky people) and Monday (trust someone!) Rest, midweek. Romance, creativity and a winning streak, Thursday/Friday!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: You face a month of depths, intimacy, sexual urges, secrets and research, commitment and consequence, and crucial health and lifestyle choices. You should meet success! Someone you’ve dealt with since early to mid-April could play a prominent role. You might find your work duties expanding June through August. Retreat, take a deep rest Sunday/Monday. (Sunday might subtly pull a “mellow relationship” apart.) Your energy and charisma surge Tuesday/Wednesday – ask a favour or start a new project! (Best Tuesday morn.) You can march straight toward more earnings Thursday/Friday – do so!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charisma, effectiveness and decisiveness return, big time! Over the weeks ahead, start significant new projects, see and be seen, make an impression on important people!

Early June to early September might bring a wish true, especially in areas of marriage, relocation, business partnerships and social acceptance. Even if they don’t, your popularity, optimism and “future sight” will rise – get ready to enjoy life! There will be no more need for caution in relationships. But that’s early June.

Meanwhile, Sunday (uncooperatively) and Monday (magically) promote romance, creativity.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A month of ambition, success, prestige relationships and community recognition has just started. But a study, travel, love, cultural or similar theme, evident since early April, continues to June 9. It might involve communications from another country.

You’ll be half ambitious, half thoughtful. You’ve met lucky opportunity in 2010 – for business, marriage, relocation, perhaps litigation. June-July-August will move these opportunities to deeper waters (commitment, intimacy, funding, etc.) If you “miss,” opportunity will return, September-December, and commitment will return, early 2011.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your hopes rise Sunday (though money is a disappointing topic) and Monday.

Optimism, popularity, flirtation and fun visit you! Or perhaps you’d better go out and find them, since you’ve entered a month in which others hold the aces of charisma, energy and clout. Still, fresh horizons, opportunities and exciting relationships are imminent!

The more you approach, the more you’ll gain. An AprilMay task lingers into late June, so tackle it. (You might also be romancing a workmate during this time.) Lie low midweek. Emerge Thursday/Friday to greet the world!

Romance – soon.

May 23 - 29 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The month ahead accents work and health, machinery and service personnel, the heavy side of kids (e.g., dirty diapers rather than the joy of her first soccer goal). Look upward Sunday/Monday – to ambition, prestige. An attractive, affectionate person stands across from you Sunday – but are you too secretive, defensive? If so, rethink. You’ve been intrigued by a romantic or creative possibility April and May – this continues through June. Don’t abandon it.Your hopes rise nicely mid-week, but retreat for some solitude Thursday/ Friday. Real estate luck hovers on the near horizon.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead feature pleasure, beauty, romance, joy with children, creative surges, and a winning streak in speculation. A Gemini or Virgo could be involved – perhaps a person you might have tried to end it with in April/May. Love, understanding, your life philosophy, far travel, legal or educational matters are the theme Sunday/Monday.

Sunday might bring a “silent disagreement” over duties. Be ambitious Tuesday/Wednesday, but avoid friction with a competitor. Your hopes rise Thursday/ Friday, as popularity, light romance and entertainment arrive. Retreat Saturday, seek quiet rest.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The weeks ahead accent your domestic scene, security, real estate, Mother Nature, gardening, nutrition. It’s a time to digest what you’ve done, where you’ve travelled over the past year (and years) and where you’re going. This might lead you to abandon certain bonds and projects, and to embrace new ones. That’s good, natural. Sunday presents you with a subtle, perhaps hardly conscious dilemma, a choice between different friends or viewpoints. Secrets, deep power, intimacy might be involved. Midweek’s mellow, brings understanding. Be ambitious Thursday/ Friday: success awaits! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
