Upfront Briefly Kipp charged A 24-year-old Chilliwack man is facing several assault charges in connection with a serious stabbing on June 19. Thomas Kipp is facing charges of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm. The charges stem from a stabbing on Bole Avenue that sent another man to hospital with life-threatening injuries. As of last report, the man was in hospital in stable condition. Kipp will appear in court Tuesday.

Minor fire Chilliwack firefighters quickly stomped out a minor fire Saturday at the Bailey Landfill. Assistant fire chief Ian Josephson said crews got the small fire under control within an hour.

Failed in ‘gatekeeper’ role BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ormer city of Chilliwack approving officer Grant Sanborn faces three charges of breach of trust by a public officer in connection with two developments he approved more than 10 years ago. The first charge is an allegation that, in 1997 as approving officer, Sanborn acted “for a purpose other than the public good” when he approved subdivisions, consolidation of properties and boundary adjustments for properties that became the Rosebank subdivision. The properties on Camp River Road, Kitchen Road and Rosebank place were owned and developed by former mayor and Chilliwack MLA John Les. The second charge alleges that Sanborn, acting as director of development, committed a breach of trust by withholding information from city council regarding the Rosebank rezoning. The third charge of breach of trust alleges the approval of a subdivision known as the Trails at Longthorn Creek on Chillliwack Mountain was done “for a purpose other than the public good” between 1994 and 1999. Under the Land Title Act, Sanborn was required to force the owner to sign a restrictive covenant because the property was in a floodplain, but this wasn’t done. The Trails was a project of prominent Chilliwack developer Eldon Unger, according to city staff. Unger was a Township of Chilliwhack alderman in 1978 and 1979 and is currently on the board of directors for the Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO). Unger told the Vancouver Sun in 2008 “I never had business dealings with John Les,” in response to an allegation from 1997 that then-mayor John Les was in a conflict of interest regarding a rezoning application of Unger’s because the two were connected politically. Unger said he held a reception in 1997 for thenLiberal finance minister Paul Martin and that Les also attended. The RCMP investigation into complaints of improper land deals at Chilliwack city hall was instigated based on a complaint in April 2006. The indictment summary alleges that investigators were made aware of a number of transactions in which municipal officials acted contrary to public interest. Special prosecutor Robin McFee did not return

While the role of approving officer at the municipality is usually take on by the director of development or another senior staffer, the position is designed to ensure applications comply with provincial statutes, regulations and local government bylaws. The original complainant alleged that Les “exercised undue and inappropriate influence over” Sanborn to secure approval for his Rosebank subdivision. The subdivision was created through a numbered company and involved a “sophisticated multi-step rezoning and two-phase subdivision process that required boundary adjustments,” according to the indictment. McFee concluded that Sanborn was not offered “any hope of advantage as an inducement to approve the Rosebank subdivision, or fear for his employment continuity if he did not.” He found enough evidence that Sanborn failed to “fulfill

his independent gatekeeper role” yet a “paucity of evidence” that Les actively directly encouraged the subdivision approval. Sanborn was hired at city hall in 1989 and became approving officer in 1992. In a January 2000 memo, former Chilliwack chief administrative officer Ted Tisdale listed a litany of concerns, such as “procedures have not been followed,” “the city will end up ‘eating’ that cost,” and “there has been a breach of policy . . . [that] has brought into question the city’s credibility.” An internal investigation was apparently done at city hall at the time, and an unidentified staffer was “separated from their employment.” Sanborn abruptly left his job in June 2000. Since that time, he has worked as a development consultant through his company, H.G. Sanborn & Associates. Sanborn did not return a phone call or e-mail before press time. His first court appearance is July 27.

the city’s official community plan and the Agricultural Land Commission act and regulations. “As such, it can be reasonably said that the Rosebank subdivision should not have been permitted to proceed,” the summary stated. The third charge against Sanborn relates to the Trails at Longthorn Creek subdivision on Chilliwack Mountain, a

project of developer Eldon Unger. The allegations are that despite knowledge on Sanborn’s part that approval was required from the Ministry of the Environment for the owner to enter into restrictive covenants for flood protection reasons, he granted approval of the subdivision. Sanborn did not return a phone call or e-mail before press time.

Campbell not ready to shuffle cabinet BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ormer solicitor general John L e s h a s b e e n c l e a re d o f wrongdoing in the multi-year investigation into land deals when he was the mayor of Chilliwack, but he won’t be returned to cabinet in the immediate future. Premier Gordon Campbell said Friday that Les will not be reinstated in cabinet at this time, but he would 1985 - Wilmer and Karen Rasmussen apply to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) to subdivide their property at 10710 Kitchen Rd. to allow for the construction of a larger home. They are turned down as it is determined the development would remove land from farming. 1987 - John Les is first elected mayor of Chilliwack. 1989 - Grant Sanborn is hired at city hall. 1991 - The beginning of a period (until 2002) determined later (in 2010) by the ALC during which 55 “inconsistent” agricultural property adjustments were allowed in the city. 1992 - The Rasmussens apply to subdivide again and are turned

be “at the top of the list.” “I’m not planning any specific changes for cabinet right now,” Campbell said in a press conference in his Victoria office Friday. “On the basis of his actions—he was a great cabinet minister when he was in cabinet—he stepped aside appropriately when the special prosecutor was made known to him and he’s been exonerated so he is certainly someone that would be at the top of the list if we do anything.”

“There may be a shift in the future and John Les is certainly someone I would consider as a cabinet minister.” Gordon Campbell When asked by a reporter if Les would be suitable for the solicitor general position given the summa-

ry from the special prosecutor was “not exactly a ringing endorsement of when he was mayor,” Campbell said he had not read the full report. “What I do know in terms of the summary is that he acted appropriately,” he said. “I’m not intending to make any significant shifts in cabinet this week or next week. There may be a shift in the future and John Les is certainly someone I would consider as a cabinet minister.”

25-year timeline for land-deal probe down again. 1992 - Grant Sanborn becomes approving officer for City of Chilliwack. 1997 - A numbered company owned by Les purchases property once owned by the Rasmussens and applies to subdivide 11-acres in the vicinity of Rosebank Pl. and Camp River Rd. Boundaries are altered without application to ALC. 1998 - Les sells part of a Camp River Road property for $227,000. 1999 - Les sells a Rosebank Place property for $180,000. 1999 - Les steps down as mayor.

2000 January - memo from then CAO Ted Tisdale lists a litany of concerns regarding boundary adjustments, such as “procedures have not been followed,” and “there has been a breach of policy . . . [that] has brought into question the city’s credibility.” 2000 May - A second numbered company owned by Les buys 1.9-acre property on Bell Road for $355,000, and applies to the city to have it rezoned from agricultural to residential. Eleven people voice opposition to the rezoning and a petition of opposition is presented to city council at the public hearing. The only people in support are John Les and his brother, Larry Les, the developer. Council

approves the rezoning with no discussion. Property is subdivided into 11 lots sold for $80,000 each. 2000 - An unidentified staffer was “separated from their employment at city hall.” Sanborn leaves job at city hall in June of 2000.

raser Valley fishermen who want to camp out on gravel bars can, as of this coming weekend, leave vehicles at Island 22 park thanks to a Fraser Valley Regional District pilot project. The Island 22 gatehouse will be operational in time for the July long weekend and as an experiment for the rest of the summer a caretaker will spend the night. Those who want to leave vehicles in the park can do so for $20 a night. There will also be the opportunity to increase the boat launch pass from $50 to $100 to cover overnight parking all summer. “There are a lot of fishermen that want to camp on the river,” FVRD manager of parks Doug Wilson said. “So what we are going to try is, when they leave their vehicle there is

somebody there.” Wilson said the idea was sparked by a number of people who go fishing who approached the parks department. He emphasized the overnight option is not intended for people to camp overnight in the park. It is reserved for those parking while camping on gravel bars. Gravel bars are Crown land and Wilson said his department has talked with the province about this and they haven’t heard concerns. Over the years, there have been frequent complaints about fires and garbage left behind on some gravel bars, such as Peg Leg, and Wilson said he suspects that over time sites like Peg Leg will see “some level of management” as the volume of people looking to camp increases. The Island 22 parking is a pilot project and will be reviewed to see how it went and if it will be continued in 2011.

Teachers excited for full-day K

ull-day kindergarten is just over two months away and the buzz in the Chilliwack school district is unmistakable. This month the district filled 16 new full-time, full-day kindergarten jobs, and district principal of human resources Janet Carroll says the teachers are brimming with enthusiasm. “They’re excited for themselves to have the work,” she said, “but they’re also really excited to be implementing the program.” But the proof, they say, is in the pudding. When other teachers kick back for their first full week of summer break next week, 25 kindergarten teachers will be hopping on a big yellow school bus at the crack of dawn and heading to Port

Moody for a two-day conference on playbased learning July 5 and 6. They’ll be joined by superintendent Corinne McCabe, CTA president Katharin Midzain, principals, vice-principals and community-based early childhood educators. Besides being economical, green and downright cute, organizers picked the school bus because the low seat backs will allow for more discussion between all levels of the district hierarchy on the way to and from the conference. “You know what it’s like to come out of a fabulous day of workshops,” said director of instruction Mary-Anne Smirle. “You’re just brimming with ideas, so we thought by putting them on a school bus, they would have more of that capacity to connect.” The Playful Possibilities conference, organized by the Mission and Coquitlam

school districts, will feature a “who’s who” of early learning experts and researchers expounding on the topic of “developmentally appropriate play-based learning.” Kindergarten teachers will take in lectures and workshops based on the latest early learning research, but Smirle said the conference and bus rides will be equally important for forging relationships between kindergarten teachers and preschool teachers who already “know and live play-based learning.” “There’s an incredible amount of expertise in the early learning world that we need to bring and join with the incredible expertise that we have in the kindergarten world,” she said. Toward that end, the district is picking up the conference tab for early childhood educators connected to school-based preschools or childcare.

News School trustees chime in on waste-to-energy debate Chilliwack trustees have added their voice to local opposition to the Metro Vancouver plan to build a waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration facility. At last Tuesday’s board of education meeting, trustees unanimously approved a motion, introduced Heather Maahs by trustee Heather Maahs, to write a letter to Metro Vancouver opposing the plan. In her motion, Maahs said an incineration plant would “put the Fraser Valley’s already, at times, compromised air quality at further risk for the students and citizens of this district.” Opponents of the WTE plan from across the Lower Mainland point to the unique, funnel-like airshed in the Fraser Valley that makes it vulnerable to Metro Vancouver air pollution. Protest letter being drafted concerning lack of funding After passing a tough budget last month, the Chilliwack school board is sending a letter to the provincial government pro-

At last Tuesday’s board meeting, trustees narrowly passed the motion introduced by trustee JohnHenry Harter to send the protest letter and to arrange a meeting between board chair Silvia Dyck, vicechair Louise Piper and MLAs John Les and Barry Penner to discuss the issue. Trustees Silvia Dyck Heather Maahs and David McKay opposed the motion, but it eventually passed 3-2. A second motion introduced by Harter to request the province to increase the district’s block transportation funding – frozen provincewide in 2001 – to meet the district’s increased size and cost, was defeated. Piper expressed concern that increased transportation funding would come at the expense of other areas

The cleaner-burning diesel buses are part a $12.5million plan to buy 106 new buses for 31 districts provincewide. Along with reducing exhaust particulate by 90 per cent compared to previous 1994 standards, the new buses produce 30 to 60 per cent better mileage than gasoline-fuelled buses and provide longer service. “These buses are built to meet the highest safety standards and incorporate progressively greener technology,” said MacDiarmid in a press release. “While we continue to provide students with safe, comfortable transportation, we need to look at getting the best value for taxpayer dollars so that we can direct more resources to the classroom.” ◗ Compiled by Cornelia Naylor

Always a wise investment

t’s really quite amusing listening to the hug-a-thug crowd shrieking like a little girl who almost stepped on a snake about the projected costs of criminal justice reforms. Kevin Page, the parliamentary budget officer, is predicting that billions of dollars will be required to construct new prisons in light of the Truth in Sentencing Act and other crime bills. The people screaming the loudest are, coincidentally, the exact same apologists who supported, and continue to support, a useless billion-dollar firearm registry. Their major talking point regarding the soaring costs of the registry was always, “if it saves just one life, it’s been well worth the money.” Well, it didn’t save a single soul. The federal government’s criminal justice legislation, however, absolutely will contribute to public safety and will, without a doubt, be a direct factor in preventing countless serious crimes, including murder. When, and if, they become law, the proposed reforms will ensure that inmates earn early release— rather than be granted it automatically as a consequence of having served two-thirds of their sentences. The reforms will impose mandatory minimum sentences on serious offenders rather than allowing judges to send them back to the streets to continue accumulating more victims. Other bills would expand the sex offender registry so it actually accomplishes

JOHN MARTIN

Crime Matters something. Anti-terrorism measures would be reaffirmed. And those convicted of serious drug crimes; the number one public safety concern of law-abiding citizens across the country, would receive automatic jail terms. Are these measures going to cost? Absolutely. Where would you see your tax dollars go? Building facilities to keep dangerous criminals off the streets or toward a bogus gun registry solely designed to demonize rural Canadians? Hiring more correctional officers to supervise the worst of the worst or handing paper bags of cash to Quebec ad agencies in return for kickbacks to the Liberal Party of Canada? Ensuring offenders serve the actual sentence handed down to them by the courts or giving the CBC even more funding to produce programs no one watches? The one thing the soft-on-crime crowd just can’t seem to wrap their pointy-heads around is the fact that when criminals are doing time, they’re not doing crime. If there’s a price tag to this—so be it. That price tag, by the way, is not

as straightforward as simply tallying the costs of constructing and running new prisons. An honest calculation, and don’t hold your breath waiting for one from the critics, would include money saved by having fewer criminals on the street committing fewer crimes. Police and court costs, victims’ financial and emotional suffering, insurance payouts, suppressed property values; all these must be taken into account alongside prison construction costs. And it would be foolhardy to deny the silver lining of additional correctional facilities. The Fraser Valley has certainly done well over the decades with the concentration of correctional facilities in its backyard. It’s unlikely anyone in these parts doesn’t know someone working in the corrections system. Thousands of other local contractors and service providers owe all or part of their livelihood to this agency. Of course, this economic spin-off was also ignored in the fraudulent figures being recklessly thrown around to discredit the government’s legislation. No one said that significant and much needed criminal justice reforms weren’t going to be expensive. But if public safety isn’t worth the investment, I’d like to know what is. ◗ John Martin is a criminologist at the University of the FraserValley and can be contacted at John.Martin@ufv.ca.

ohn Les has been cleared and his 27month ordeal is over. On page one of the April 1, 2008 edition of the Times, we ran the headline “Under a cloud: Land-deals investigation forces MLA John Les to resign as B.C.’s solicitor general.” Les asked us 27 months ago—and again last week—to remedy our “Under a cloud” headline when he was exonerated, as he always said he would be. So we did that today, but while the cloud may have lifted from over Les, things are still a little grey and hazy-looking over the time when he was mayor. There were only three criminal charges laid on Friday in relation to two transactions at city hall while Les was mayor. But the summary of indictment found that after examining 80 transactions there were a “multitude of questioned actions” by public officials, many decisions “constitute mistakes and/or errors in judgment,” and a number of these decisions were contrary to the city’s OCP, and/or zoning and/or servicing bylaws, and/or contrary to provincial statutes including the Agricultural Land Commission act. And all of this was done, allegedly, under subtle and not-so-subtle direction from Les and his council to “make development opportunities happen.” In other words, just because criminal allegations have only been levelled against one man with regards to two transactions, the exhaustive investigation alleges there was a lot of other dodgy stuff going on at city hall in the 1990s. If he is innocent, Grant Sanborn will likely be tarnished with the charges he now faces from his time at city hall. If convicted, we really hope Sanborn isn’t the fall guy in all of this and we truly hope the authorities have the only real criminally guilty party. But criminal guilt aside, it appears it was the wild west in the development department at Chilliwack city hall during Les’s tenure. There were tough economic times in Chilliwack in the 1990s with the closure of the base and other employers, so development was encouraged to get things going. This is understandable but we hope the days of developers being allowed, and encouraged, to find legal loopholes at city hall are over.

Sweet deal for civil servants running the candy store Editor: Reading the headline about the six-figure incomes of our city’s employees, it is easy to see that many citizens are quite upset, especially since property taxes are upon us and we already had to deal with some major pay hikes in the provincial government not too long ago. Of course, the one argument that is always brought up is how much the private sector pays people with similar qualifications, and that we want to attract qualified people for all levels of government jobs. However, can we really compare public servants, whose incomes are paid by taxpayers, with the greedy world of private corporations and their executives? When we look to the private sector for guidelines we must also recognize that it is the employer who decides about salaries, which is obviously not the case when it comes to government employees. Voting governments into power, we basically hand over the controls, allowing them to do whatever they see fit. And although we are facing drastic cuts in education funding and healthcare, there is obviously enough tax money left to dish out some major salary increases. Someone who signs on with the public sector, however, should be aware that he indeed serves the public and not, like private sector employees, his own pocket. We simply cannot ignore the fact that a very large number of taxpayers who help pay for our public servants’ salaries can’t even afford to own a home. To a single mom who can hardly pay the rent, it’s a slap in the face when her tax contributions are used to give Gordon Campbell, for example, a 50 per cent pay increase. Most of our city’s working-class citizens, if they didn’t lose their job due to the economic downturn to begin with, are lucky to receive a 1.5 to two per cent pay increase on a rather meagre income in order to combat a three per cent rise in cost-of-living. Once elected, whether it’s on a federal, provincial or municipal level, the way our political system works, our governments give us little say regarding many issues, including payroll. And when it comes to our civil servants’ incomes it almost seems like handing the keys of a candy shop to a group of kids who then form a committee which decides how much candy everyone should get.

To view our letters/privacy policy visit our website at www.chilliwacktimes.com. page of the Chilliwack Times on June 18. The headline is correct: It is a hated HST. As I read the first part of the heading that said, “city is willing to soften HST blow” it mentioned July 1 for 2010/2011, then 2011/2012 for the parks. Does it not matter to the politicians that a petition was signed? There were more than the 10 per cent signatures needed. If the petition had been up and taking more signatures until July 1, I am sure it would have reached more than 50 per cent. I see that by reading the article our government has no intentions of listening to the people. I once believed that government worked for us, but sadly I understand that we are now in a dictatorship. We, the people, are being ignored. We did not vote on the HST. Barry Penner keeps trying to convince us how this HST is going to help us all. We don’t get increases in our wages. The gas goes up, the taxes go up, the cost of food goes up just to name a few. So how is the HST going to help us? There is a G8 summit in Ottawa that created a fake lake. Cost? Billions. Can you understand a province that is known for having the most lakes in Canada and here they build a false one. HST you say. Right. When are the people of British Columbia going to be heard. H.Warner Chilliwack

HST just a game of ‘bait and switch’ Editor: By taking a deceitful, dictatorial approach to the HST, the B.C. government ensured that the debate about the HST became: In a democracy, who has the final say on government policy? Because we have the Recall and Initiative Act, people have a chance to hold the government accountable before another election. This is a tremendous tool, because it’s been the game of all governments to play “bait and

switch” with voters early in their mandates, in the hope of manipulating the people at election time to get re-elected. If we succeed with the petition to repeal the HST, that game will end in B.C., forever. Now, Premier Campbell wants to travel B.C. this summer to try to change that debate to the socalled “merits” of the HST. But here again, the Liberal attempt to control the people’s thoughts regarding their Hated Sales Tax will fail. The HST is not only bad politics, but it is bad policy and harmful to British Columbians for many reasons: 1. It’s a cruel tax that will hurt low-income, fixed-income, working families and seniors the most. 2. It will kill jobs and damage business and economic activity as people curb consumption to make up for the extra cost. 3. It eliminates the fees paid to businesses to collect PST. HST must be collected for free. 4. It will drive up inflation as people demand higher wages to pay the extra seven-per-cent cost, offsetting any benefits to businesses from the input tax credits. 5. It will push the economy underground. In the UK, VAT (HST) evasion is over $20 billion per year. 6. It will make B.C. less competitive with Alberta, Washington, Oregon and Asia, where there is no HST. 7. It will cost more to administer. Ottawa is hiring all of B.C.’s 1,200 provincial tax collectors, yet the only thing that will change is instead of calculating the GST at five per cent, they will calculate the HST at 12 per cent. 8. The federal government will take billions from B.C. in additional taxes for goods previously considered a “write off” under PST, which will now become taxable under HST. 9. The HST is more complex. The HST Agreement has 16 pages of calculus formulas outlining the revenue sharing with B.C. that will require math geniuses or computers (or both) to figure out. 10. It will destroy B.C.’s sover-

There isn’t anything in this world that can’t be improved, including our tax system.

Road usage will become ridiculous Editor: I have been a volunteer firefighter for the Chilliwack River Valley Fire Department over the past eight years. The road in its current condition, with its shared users (tourists, residents, recreation businesses, fishermen, kayakers, school buses and logging trucks) is extremely busy. With this proposed gravel pit, it will be ridiculous. I have attended many vehicle accidents on Chilliwack Lake Road, some involving heavy trucks. I can only envision accidents becoming more frequent and more lethal. The speeds trucks travel on it are dangerous. Currently, there is nowhere to pass cyclists, and walkers will be blown off their feet. The road in the winter is deceptively icy, with many vehicles ending up rolled over in the ditch. Near Tesky Rock in the summer it is like playing the game “Frogger” for the people trying to cross the road to get to the river. The last thing we need is a bunch of gravel truck drivers rushing to get out of the valley to make their money—at the expense of the community’s safety. Kevin Corbett Chilliwack

Road needs work before mine begins Editor: Chilliwack Lake Road is a very narrow, winding country highway, with no shoulders, no bike lanes, no sidewalks. It is a dangerous road that has seen many publicsafety close calls, even with the sporadic heavy equipment traffic

it has received to date. Posted speeds are 60 kph, yet much heavy traffic travels 80 km/ h and higher. We have 150-plus kids, kindergarten to Grade 12, squeezed perilously tight along the road edges at 16 different locations, morning and afternoon, waiting for and being dropped off by school buses. In winter it’s pitch black in the a.m.—no street lamps, no protection, no set backs, no safe bus stops, and the Ministry of Mines thinks it’s wise to send dozens more of the largest tractor trailers, careening past, spitting gravel just a couple of feet away from children? This is completely unacceptable. Chilliwack Lake Road has to be seriously upgraded before any new mine can go ahead. Widening the road to create safe road shoulders, like most other communities, is the bare minimum that must be done. Parents will hold current public officials, elected or otherwise, fully responsible for any issue to our children’s welfare if this mine is pushed through. Where is the accountability to our most vulnerable? Doug Petersen Chilliwack

Soowahlie Road needs to be fixed Editor: What a traffic jam in Cultus Lake. Leaving the lake last night around 5 p.m. took around an hour; at least we were forewarned about it with the signs. It is too bad that the government would not help fix the Soowahlie Road for an emergency road. Now, if there is an emergency, like I said last winter, we are all stuck up the lake. Oh well, bring something to read and a bottle of water while you wait and wait and wait coming or going to the Lake. And, if you need to go to Chilliwack for an appointment, be sure to leave at least 90 minutes to two hours early to be sure you get there in time or rearrange your appointments if you can. The Soowahlie Road is closed, so do not try as the bumps are so bad. By the time you turn around you will wish you just stayed on the main road. Carol Kelly Chilliwack

game at Lionel Courchene Park in Surrey. The Chilliwack bats, which had been so loud in two decisive Chilliwack victories over the Rays this season, were held to four hits scattered over seven innings. The Rays managed to turn an error and a walk into two runs and that was all they needed to keep the Cougars from advancing. The Cougars will put

Hot pink dragon boat serves to motivate team All of the 25 to 30 members of the team have either been diagnosed with, or beaten, breast cancer, or are supporting someone who has. There is always someone to talk to. “It’s a great sense of people feeling they belong,” said Shepherd. Spirit Abreast is very inclusive and everyone is welcome who wants to participate. The benefits of dragon boating (a team sport with 20 members paddling in unison) are many, including physical activity and an overall sense of wellness. “Each time our hot pink dragon boat is put onto the lake, there is a sense of power and exhilaration,” Shepherd said. “Being part of this special team means different things to each of us. Some say it’s exciting, challenging . . . while others might describe it as being slightly terrifying, because they can’t swim.” In addition to its twiceweekly practices, Spirit Abreast competes in regattas against women’s and mixed teams of all levels. “We challenge ourselves

to be the best we can and it is amazing just how well we can do.” To celebrate that women can lead healthy and active lives after breast cancer, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, BC/Yukon Region gave $50,000 in grants last week to 22 breast cancer dragon boat teams in B.C., and the Spirit Abreast team received $2,000. The grant is a welcome addition for the team members, who train at Cultus Lake and participate in as many regattas as they can afford. “For us being out at events is about more than racing, more than winning. It’s about creating something positive from some negative, a breast cancer diagnosis,” said Shepherd. “It’s a true celebration of life.” There are more than 111 breast cancer survivor teams worldwide and the number continues to grow. ◗ New members are always welcome to come and try it out.

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words I grew up in North Vancouver and have been playing football since my early teens. My size kind of dictated what position I play (offensive line) but I’ve learned to really love my role on the club and on the offence. As the centre I do get to touch the ball on every play, so it all starts with me. Growing up, I was very close to my father and he was a big influence on me during times I needed him most. Picking my college, dealing with adversity, being the best person and player I can be were a product of his guidance and it’s one of the reasons I love taking part in our club’s community programs. Among the programs I take part in, I would say Read, Write and Roar is among my favourites because I’ve seen firsthand what happens to a young person’s life when they grasp the ability to read. The benefits of literacy last a lifetime and I take pride in knowing that I might be planting the seed for a future reader. Dean Valli in action on the field. Photo courtesy BC Lions.

UFV nursing I students need moms-to-be

f you’re a pregnant woman who will be having her baby in a Fraser Valley hospital between September and April, you’re in high demand by University of the Fraser Valley nursing students. Mothers-to-be who will be having their babies in the Fraser Valley are once again invited to help UFV nursing students learn about pregnancy

and childbirth from the patient’s perspective. Women having their babies at Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Surrey Memorial, Ridge Meadows, Peace Arch, Langley Memorial or Royal Columbian hospitals are eligible for this program. Countless UFV nursing students have had the opportunity to shadow a pregnant woman through doctor

visits, prenatal classes, labour and delivery, and the postnatal period through the moms-to-be program over the past 15 years. “It’s been a wonderful opportunity for our students. It gives them a chance to experience the pregnancy and birth process up close from the See NURSING, Page 21

Community NURSING, from page 19 perspective of the mother and her family,” said UFV nursing professor Marlene Upton. The students complete this component of the program while they study the theory of maternity nursing and before they take clinical training in maternity wards. Women who are due between September and April and who will be having their babies at Fraser Valley hospitals are eligible to participate in the moms-to-be program. If you agree to participate, the student nurse will meet you (and

06295976

Someone to share experience with

your partner, if applicable) for a “get-to-know-you chat.” The range of prenatal experiences the student may be involved with include a visit to the doctor, a prenatal class, providing support for you and your partner during all of your labour and delivery, and a visit afterwards. UFV first-year nursing student Charlene Martyn is a mother of three herself, but she still found it very valuable to be matched with a mom-to-be early in her nursing studies.

“Seeing pregnancy and birth through someone else’s eyes helped me make the transition from someone totally absorbed in my own pregnancies to someone who will be a professional helping others through pregnancy and birth,” she says. “I had to set my own experience aside and think about how others experience the process.” Martyn feels that the mom-to-be with whom she was matched also got some value from the experience. “Our relationship gave her the

opportunity to have someone to talk to who was not emotionally involved in the pregnancy but was still a layperson, not a medical professional yet. I was able to sit with her, listen to her, and learn from what she had to say. She was expecting twins, so she had a lot of concerns. She also went to a midwife, so that gave me a chance to observe that kind of appointment.” Since nursing students do a maternity ward rotation in their second semester, Martyn says that

it’s very valuable for them to have the mom-to-be experience beforehand. “A lot of my fellow students didn’t have much experience with pregnancy, birth, or babies, so it’s really crucial that they get some exposure before beginning their formal maternity training. It’s an excellent way for them to observe how people make the transition into parenthood.” ◗ For more information, or to volunteer, call UFV’s health sciences centre toll free at 1-888-5047441.

Amazing response

ore than 330 entries were sent in from 14 different schools in the district hoping to claim the top prize in the The Book Man’s Win a 1000 Books contest. The overwhelming response led Book Man co-owner Amber Short to decide to give away even more books, as choosing just one deserving school was impossible. “The roaring success of this contest is awe-inspiring,” Short said. “I am thrilled to have had contact with so many of the active readers in our schools and community who value literacy as much as much as we at The Book Man do. “This experience has been a wonderful reminder that any business has the opportunity to take action to help alleviate the impact of funding cuts to schools, and improve circumstances for the students in our community.” For Short, being part of the excitement generated by the contest was a privilege. “One classroom burst into a spontaneous chant of ‘hip hip hooray!” for their classmate who won the prize, and gave her a group hug afterward,” she said.

think that books are an important role in life because it helps them with their writing, spelling and it teaches them new and amazing facts. A book can open up people’s imagination and can encourage them to write and share their stories and books too. It’s good to look through other people’s perspectives and for people to share their ideas. I think 1,000 books would mean a lot to my school because we have a small school and don’t have as many books like bigger schools do, and a lot of kids in our school love to read! Our library time might get cut next year and you can stop that from happening if you donate these books to us. Almost everyone has read ALL the books in the library and are desperate for more books, so now they go to local bookstores! Teachers don’t have novels to read to the class and there are fewer books and author studies! Please keep this letter in mind.

ooks are my inspiration. You learn everything you need to know. Books are my life. In life you have to know how to read so they are your life. Books give you knowledge, you get attached to them, so then you can’t get away from them. I can’t even tell you how much I love them. People bring books wherever they go, at least I do. I’m a bookworm. I read every chance I get. I totally love books and can’t get away from them. I read thick books, small books, any kind at all! I love all kinds! Books are very important to me and my school. Our library is magnificent and it has the best kind of books in the world. And it would be terrific if we would get more books for our library. People should care about reading because it’s the best thing in the world! I love books! Books are so awesome, I love them so much! Books Rock! BOOKS ROCK!

Miya Dhillon Unsworth elementary

ur class just loves books!!! We would go crazy without them. Books just take me to another world and its full of imagination. When my parents buy me a new book I just can’t put it down, I even sometimes bring my book to the dinner table. I even sometimes read till 12:30 am. I just really hope our school wins. Books are the best thing that ever happened, sometimes I like to pretend I am the character and I feel the emotion, the excitement and all the other emotions the characters are feeling. If there’s a book about dolphins I feel like I am in the ocean. It’s sometimes like books are my best friends. I also like to read to my dog, that’s how much of a voracious reader I am.

Volunteering Role of a Hospice Volunteer Our volunteers provide comfort, companionship and emotional support to individuals who are dying or bereaved. A trained hospice volunteer provides a palliative individual and/or their caregivers with respite and emotional support in the setting that is home to the client at the time of the visit. The setting may be any location in the communities served by the Chilliwack Hospice Society - in the hospital, at home, at the Cascade Hospice Residence or a long term care residence. Hospice volunteers provide companionship & emotional support by spending time with patients, talking, reading or other activities. They also can provide respite for the patient’s caregiver.

My decision to become a volunteer in the community was made long before I stopped work. Commitment is needed in order to be a volunteer, no matter what avenue your volunteer work takes you. Mine was with Hospice. The enjoyment one gets from meeting strangers, becoming friends, supporting this person until it is time to say “good-bye” leaves one with a wonderful memory of the time you have spent with a person during their last months/days of life. This has happened to me many times over the last 10 years I consider it to be such a privilege. I have a new role with Hospice now. I am the Vigil Team Leader. The word vigil is deﬁned as the act of keeping awake and alert. When the Chilliwack Hospice Society is asked to set-up a vigil, we know we will have a positive response from our team of 20 volunteers. Our trained volunteers are ready to sit at the bedside of an individual who is in the last 72 hours of their life. It is such an honor to be a support to families at this time. I am also a volunteer at the Cascade Hospice Residence. I love the time I spend there as I am able to sit with patients, listen to their stories and meet their families and friends. I also like to ask if there is anything I can do to help them feel more comfortable, for example, painting a lady’s nails, sprucing up their appearance before a special visit from someone or just sitting quietly with them while they rest. I love to be able to ﬁnd something for them to eat even if it is porridge at 9:00pm or an ice-cream for breakfast. Whatever they want as far as I am concerned they can have. The main objective for me is to make them comfortable and as relaxed as possible during their stay at Cascade.

I have also worked in the community as a one-to-one volunteer, supporting people who are bereaved or who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, but are still well enough to go out into the community for a for coﬀee, shopping, or a walk. This is wonderful volunteer work, especially if you enjoy socializing. I have met so many marvelous people who are determined to enjoy every minute they have left - lots of laughs and happy times. I am a committed Chilliwack Hospice Society volunteer and would recommend anyone who is considering volunteer work to try Hospice. It is very rewarding.

Cascade Hospice Residence Cascade Hospice is a rewarding place to volunteer. Our team of volunteers care passionately about each patient and family that enter through the doors, and are there for what can be for many, a difficult journey. On any given day you will hear all types of music, laughter, and sometimes, a heartfelt cry coming out of the rooms. You will also see and hear children and grandchildren playing in the play area, as well as young people watching the latest movie on one of the big screen TVs, people cooking bacon and eggs, making large pots of soup, and baking bread for everyone in the residence. The very essence and culture of hospice care encourages people to “live at the end of life”. While at hospice, families have had birthday parties, anniversary parties, barbeques—and the first Christmas was a busy one with two families cooking turkey dinners in the well-equipped kitchen. For many, Cascade Hospice becomes their home away from home and as they meet over a cup of tea or share a meal together. People who were once strangers become a support for each other through this difficult time. Chilliwack Hospice Society has partnered with Baltic Properties (owners of The Cascades) and Fraser Health, to provide excellence in Hospice Care to Chilliwack. Our 25 volunteers lead by Team Leader Doug Aldrich have given over 6,000 hours of service to the patients and their families since Cascade Hospice opened its door in August 2008. The Cascades is an integrated health care and housing community providing residential complex care, assisted living, supportive housing and hospice services to residents of the east Fraser Valley. We feel very priviledged to be partnered with both the Fraser Health Authority and the Chilliwack Hospice Society in the creation and operation of Cascade Hospice Residence. If you are interested in learning more about the programs and services offered at The Cascades please contact Cheryl Little, General Manager, tel: 604.795.2500, email: cheryl@balticproperties.ca.

Programs As you read through our community newsletter you will see we offer many programs and services: Relaxation, Hospice Residence visits, Hospital visits, Home visits, Vigil support (24 hour companioning during the last 72 hours of life), and Grief support for adults, teens and children. Our hope is that when you read these articles you will come to know us and realize you are not alone. We are a community that cares for each other and Hospice is very proud to be a part of this place we all call home: Chilliwack. If you or anyone you know needs our support, please call 604-795-4660.

Relaxation Program Every Monday morning, apart form statutory holidays, our Relaxation Team meets to offer relaxation sessions to our hospice palliative and bereavement clients. Our relaxation services are also available to community members. Our team has been trained in Complementary Therapies, therapies that complement medical treatments and additionally, we can offer hand/foot massages and relaxation through music/meditation. We offer these services in people’s homes, Chilliwack General Hospital, care facilities, at our Centre and at Cascade Residence. Our Relaxation team!

Adult Grief Group Twice annually we run a First Step Grief Group for adults who have experienced the death of a friend/loved one. It is an 8 session closed group that meets on a week night from 7-9. We are fortunate to have Diane Toews and Kathryn Marynowski as volunteer co-facilitators. All our First Step volunteer facilitators have taken the 30 hour Basic Hospice Training and the Facilitation Training. We currently have 23 participants in this group, indicating the need to oﬀer such supports in our community. The group has both a sharing circle and a psycho-educational component where participants get to share their stories and come to a better understanding of how grief impacts both individuals and families.

Children’s Grief Group It is amazing to see the changes that can occur when children spend a few weeks in a grief group. A goal in our Children’s Group is to normalize the grief process for children and let them see they are not alone. The group is for children ages 6-12 who have experienced a loss by death. It relies heavily on the use of expressive arts for children to help process their losses. For more information please call 604-795-4660. Jane & Isaac with Lucy Fraser, Director of Programs

Hospital Visiting Team A hospice volunteer can be an oasis of calm giving comfort and stability in a strange and often frightening world of the hospital where patients/ families are dealing with the life altering / life threatening affects of a terminal illness. Sometimes the hospital setting can be the "rst introduction to Hospice for a family. Our team of dedicated hospital volunteers provides emotional support and compassionate care to patients and families within the hospital setting. Our hospital visiting team is in the Chilliwack General Hospital everyday and if you or members of your family are facing an end of life illness and you or your family is in need of emotional support or a listening ear. Please call us. 604-795-4660.

One on One Support One on one bereavement support is also available both through staff and volunteers for people who are waiting to attend a bereavement support group; are not comfortable participating in a group; or "nd it dif"cult to come out to attend bereavement sessions.

Horse Whisperer Camp Chilliwack Hospice Society is proud to have hosted our second annual camp on June 19th and as the day unfolded, the participants- many for the "rst time- had opportunity to build a close rapport with the volunteer horses and experience the unconditional love and support of their horse partner. Throughout the day participants took the opportunity to visit a number of stations that included art, Sebastian & Quincy re!ection, mini horses and even a horse spa! At the end of the day each participant was presented with an of"cial “Horse Whisperer” certi"cate. For more information on the next Horse Whisperer Grief Camp in June 2011 call 604-795-4660.
