Parents petition district to preserve boundary

■ C LOSE C ALL

More time wanted Katie Bartel The Progress A petition opposing the proposed boundary change for Yarrow students attending middle school was started in the name of students, said the organizer. Ingrid Schoolkate, whose youngest child will be affected by the proposed change next year, started the petition as a way of giving her child and all others a voice. “Kids don’t have a voice here,” she said. “As a parent, I’m their voice.” Chilliwack school district is proposing a boundary change for Yarrow students where instead of going to Vedder middle they will be redirected to Mt. Slesse middle. The change is meant to balance enrollments at both schools, as well as to ensure Mt. Slesse stays viable. Mt. Slesse’s enrollment is expected to drop next year to 472 students, but has a capacity for 650. With Yarrow, its enrollment would increase to 509 students. Chilliwack board of education will be voting on the proposal at the Feb. 22 meeting. If approved the change would be effective September 2011 for students going into Grade 7. Students already attending Vedder middle could stay at Vedder middle. Continued: YARROW/ p14

Kevin Sundher of the Chilliwack Bruins gets the puck past the goal line for a split second before Kelowna Rockets goaltender Adam Brown pushes it back out during the second period of Saturday night’s game at Prospera Centre. Video review was required to confirm the goal which, after some discussion, was allowed, giving the Bruins the lead for the remainder of the game. For more, see page 21. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Probe ordered into misinterpreted CT scans Cancer may have gone untreated in some patients Jeff Nagel Black Press Several B.C. patients may have cancer that went undetected because two radiologists who were either unqualified or inexperienced misinterpreted the results of CT scans performed at hospitals in Abbotsford and Powell River last year. Health minister Colin Hansen has ordered an

investigation into the cases of misdiagnosis to determine how the radiology physicians in question were allowed to read the scans. Fraser Health Authority CEO Dr. Nigel Murray said there may be untreated cancers in some of the 10 patients scanned at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre where misinterpreted scans may have contributed to

patients receiving incorrect treatment. “They could include missed cancers,” Murray said. “Approximately three or four could be in that category.” False positives included one case where the radiologist wrongly identified a pulmonary embolysm in the lungs of an Abbotsford patient, but Murray said the patient’s doctor did not rely

entirely on the scan result and treated on the basis of other evidence as well. “At this time we believe there was no inappropriate treatment given due to false positives.” The locum radiologist in question performed a total of 170 CT scan interpretations in the eastern Fraser Valley between mid-August and mid-September 2010, most at Abbotsford but about a dozen in Chilliwack, where no discrepancies

were found. “We are still in the process of contacting all the patients individually,” Murray said. “All of their doctors have been contacted and are taking the appropriate actions.” One of the 10 patients where scan interpretation problems were flagged has since died, a case Murray said is under investigation but could be due to natural causes.

UFV feels pinch as demand outstrips funding Neil Corbett

sure, and there are also queues for courses in business, criminology, psychology and others. Waiting for courses means students having to delay their graduation, or look elsewhere. Riley Hyland, a second-year engineering student, told Black Press he was only able to get two courses for the spring semester. A full course load is five per semester, so the pace of his education has been set back. He wanted to get his first two years of school at UFV, but will move on. “I’m going to UVic next year, and hopefully it’s better there.” “I was wait-listed for every single one (course),” said first-year student Christeen Cote, who couldn’t get English 105 or biology. She said students who are taking general studies rather than being on a specific program generally get

wait-listed for every course. “I’ll just have to wait longer to finish,” she said. Chris Brink, a sciences student, said he was fortunate to get the courses he needs, but has many friends who have been frustrated. One, he said, has been forced to simply take the fall semester off. “It’s the social sciences where it’s really, really packed,” Brink said. “We need more buildings. We need more teachers.” There were also numerous students who told Black Press they were wait-listed, but eventually got all their courses. Those in programs, and the university offers many, including nursing, dental assistant and aircraft technician, are generally able to get the courses they need in a timely manner. However, those taking general studies may face challenges.

Davis said by the year’s end, the university, which in addition to the main campus in Abbotsford has others in Chilliwack and Mission, will have provided space for as much as 105 per cent of the full-time equivalent (FTEs) for which it receives provincial funding. Victoria funds 6,645 FTEs, although total enrolment is listed at 15,500 full-time and part-time students. In any case, Davis said provincial funding does not cover the full cost of educating a student. Victoria funds about 57 per cent, tuition another 25 per cent, and the balance is covered through other revenue sources, including the premiums paid by international students, continuing education programs, and even the campus bookstore. Money isn’t the only problem.

“We’re running out of space,” said Davis, “but there’s no support for more building right now in the province.” He said the Fraser Valley is one of the fastest-growing population centres in the country, and the demand for courses at UFV is only going to increase. “We would like a bigger slice of the pie,” he said, and added that the institution has been making that case to government. “I understand the fiscal state of the province,” said Davis. “(But) post-secondary education is crucial to the development of the province.” Ida Chong, the minster of science and universities, clarified that government has not frozen university funding, but is wrestling with a recessionary economy.

Pickers bring hunt to Chilliwack

Workplace accident claims Agassiz man

Black Press A slowed B.C. economy has sent jobless people, young and old, back to school. That, combined with the attraction of attaining full university status in 2008, has the University of the Fraser Valley operating at above capacity. UFV vice-president academic Eric Davis says the province needs to step up with more money. “Without more government funding, there’s not much more we can grow,” said Davis. “We’ve reached the limit.” He said for two years there has been no funding increase at UFV. There are long waiting lists for some classes. As many as 400 students had to wait to get English 105, where there is the most pres-

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Cast and crew of the new TV show, Canadian Pickers, rolled into town in a big white van on a recent rainy Sunday morning. Their sights were set squarely on the Wellington Emporium in downtown Chilliwack. Canadian Pickers hosts, Sheldon Smithens and Scott Cozens, jump out of the van on to the quiet street, intent on doing some oncamera deals inside the store. They’re ready to pay cash on the barrelhead for the best stuff. But make no mistake, they don’t pay retail. And therein lies the rub — and the drama — that makes this kind of television so exciting. Pickers call the treasures they find “rusty gold,” and the goal of any “pick” is bagging those items at the right price — under retail — with room for a decent profit to make it worth their while. When the dickering is done, and they’re ready to settle on a price, the pickers are ready to “pop.” The sprawling Wellington Emporium owned by Wayne Learie is a hodgepodge of collectibles, antique furniture and pop culture memorabilia. Learie, a former picker himself, was “a cold door-knocker” for 25 years, says he is pleased as punch to be hosting the two-day TV shoot at his store. “It’s exciting for all of Chilliwack,” he tells The Progress. The art of “picking” antiques and collectibles has become insanely popular in the past couple of years, and it’s spread to reality TV. There are huge audience num-

bers being recorded recently for shows like American Pickers, and the same goes for Auction Kings, Pawn Stars and more. In fact, production of Canadian Pickers comes hot on the heels of the recent success of American Pickers, which was sitting in the No. 2 spot on the History Television lineup last fall, with a couple of million viewers. “It’s just gone crazy,” Learie

says. The store’s also been creating a buzz lately on its own, and is gaining a reputation for its unique contents. “Some of the other merchants have been telling me it’s drawing in traffic to the downtown.” The premise of new Canadian Pickers show, which premieres on the History Channel in April 2011, has the hosts scouring barns,

attics, and backyards for antiques, collectibles. They made a bit of an exception to include a shoot at the local store. “Are you here to grind me?” Learie asks the pickers with a grin, as they arrive for the shoot. The term “grind” is used here to mean something akin to driving a hard bargain when negotiating a deal. Continued: PICKERS/ p9

Worksafe officers were at Rimex in Agassiz on Friday, investigating the death of an employee at the manufacturing plant. An Agassiz man died after a workplace accident on Thursday, February 10. “The incident occurred at approximately 3 p.m. yesterday,” Donna Freeman, a representative of Worksafe B.C. said Friday. The investigation could take several months, she added. “It depends on the circumstances,” she said. “Sometimes it can take a few months, and other times it can be up to a year.” Plant manager Roberta Boden said Friday that “no (staff) is working today,” as they were given time off to grieve. “We have grief counsellors here today and they will continue to be here as long as the boys need them,” she said. Many of the workers at Rimex were either friends or family of the worker, she said, and the company is a tightknit community. “We are all mourning this,” she said. “It’s devastating.”

Bar Watch co-founder stepping down Robert Freeman

“

The Progress Bar Watch co-founder Ryan Macdonald is stepping down from the organization and leaving the nightclub business behind. Macdonald said he wanted to spend more time with his wife and children, something the irregular hours of a nightclub manager made difficult. As manager of the Industry nightclub, Macdonald was cofounder of the Bar Watch program in 2007, which aimed to organize Chilliwack restaurants, hotels, nightclubs and other licensed establishments to push back against the growing gang presence seen at the time.

I’m very proud of the work we did with Bar Watch ~ Ryan Macdonald

”

But the Bar Watch network seemed to tame the sometimes tempestuous nightclub scene in Chilliwack. “I’m ver y proud of the work we did with Bar Watch,” Macdonald said. “I’m ver y proud of the industry in this community.” Co-founder Dan Brooks said Bar Watch is running

smoothly, and that he didn’t expect any trouble filling the co-chair position vacated by Macdonald. “Everything is great at Bar Watch,” he said. Bar Watch has been roundly praised by municipal and RCMP officials as its members worked closely with police and provincial liquor

inspectors to keep an eye on issues like over-intoxication, preventing service to minors and promoting responsible alcohol consumption. But in doing so the group also apparently earned the enmity of others, and in 2009 a death threat was spraypainted on a restaurant hit by a drive-by shooting. The restaurant had closed for the night, and there were no injuries. No further incidents targeting Bar Watch members were reported, and the shootings and brawls that once marred the nightclub scene in Chilliwack disappeared from police reports.

Smoke alarm saves seniors from house fire A working smoke alarm is credited with giving two elderly residents time to escape a house fire on Promontory Road early Monday morning. A rear bedroom where the fire started was fully in flames when

firefighters arrived at the ranch-style house in the 6000-block Promontor y Road at about 7:40 a.m. “The fire had burned through the floor and into the crawl space before being extinguished by fire crews,”

Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Ullyot said in a news release. An outbuilding at the rear of the property was also extensively damaged, he said, and some “minor damage” was done to the vinyl siding of a nearby

home. There was no damage to the garage or to the vehicle inside. “A working smoke alarm is once again credited with alerting the occupants of the home,” Ullyot said. He reminded all

home owners that a working smoke alarm “on ever y floor” is “essential” to saving lives. For more information on smoke alarms, call the City of Chilliwack Fire Department at 604-792-8713.

The torch still burns

It’s hard to fathom, somehow, that it was a year ago that the world arrived on our doorstep for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Time flies, indeed. And while the Games were a resounding success – immediately after the torch was extinguished, and admittedly without the benefit of a big-picture view, the 17-day celebration was already being billed as the most successful Olympiad in history. And for Canadians, specifically, the Games didn’t go too badly either, as our athletes won gold medals in numbers – record numbers – beginning with mogul skier Alex Bilodeau and ending with Sidney Crosby’s golden goal in men’s hockey. Such results sent Canadians into a euphoric tizzy that lasted for days. The Olympic experience brought people together like nothing that had come before, nor will likely occur in the future. One German reporter, in fact, was reported to have asked a Canadian colleague during the Games: “Are Canadians always this happy?” So where are we, now 12 months removed? Well, the costs have come in, for one thing – estimated at $6.5-billion – and the Vancouver athletes’ village, which was turned into condominiums postOlympics, failed to sell as quickly as some thought. But without dismissing those factors out of hand, the fact remains that the Games have left a legacy that transcends dollars and cents. We still remember Jon Montgomery’s march through the streets of Whistler, still recognize the names and faces of Vancouver’s Olympic champions when they appear on television or in public In short, we still care. And judging by the plethora of events planned to mark the one-year anniversary of the Games, it’s a feeling we aren’t too keen to give up. Are we always this happy? No, but perhaps we should be. Maybe that, in and of itself, is the true legacy – the lesson – of these costly Games. Black Press

After the revolution: What’s next for Egypt? What a difference a day makes. Well, 18 days. The pro-democracy demonstrations in Egypt have truly shown the power of the people when they speak with one voice and won’t take no for an answer. They demanded that President Hosni Mubarak leave and take with him his crushing boot of suppressive policies. Ignored at first, the wave of humanity that packed Cairo’s Tahrir Square 24/7 finally couldn’t be shrugged off. Last Thursday President Hosni Mubarak, in a confusing speech, announced the transfer of some power to Vice President Omar Suleiman but stopped short of stepping down. The people, anticipating his resignation, were dumbfounded then furious. Mubarak finally took the hint and took off for his residence in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, handing over control

to the high council of the armed forces. Mubarak is a militar y man. Born in 1928 in the village of Kafr el-Moseilha, he trained as a fighter pilot and moved up the ranks of the Egyptian Air Force to become Air Chief Marshall after the Yom Kipper War with Israel in 1973. President Anwar Margaret Sadat chose him as EVANS his vice president in 1975 and, when Sadat was assassinated in 1981 by Islamic militants, Mubarak assumed the presidency. Sadat’s shining moment was a peace agreement with Israel in 1979 and Mubarak has upheld that in the three decades since while at the same time receiving political and financial support from the

U.S. But on the home front he ruled with an iron fist, quashing any uprising or protest with brute force. Mubarak may be gone but the challenges facing Egypt, a powerhouse in the Middle East, are still there, alongside new ones. The military leaders have dissolved the country’s parliament and suspended the constitution. They said they would run the country for six months until the next election. But who will the next leader be? Who will form parliament? The military brass knows nothing about democracy and, besides, they are part of a regime with deep, entrenched self-interests which don’t allow for the transparency of democracy. Fair to say the protesters, while jubilant, are sober about mid and long term expectations. Mubarak’s departure, coming on the heels of the ousted

Tunisian leader, is a tectonic political shift. People power is sweeping the region in ways not seen since the days of the pharaohs. Ordinary folk are fed up with autocracy, corruption, unemployment, the staggering cost living and having a voice that is never listened to. The Egyptian factor is making leaders of neighbouring states uneasy. Israel is understandably feeling some angst. While the Egyptian military said they would honour the peace deal, will it still be honoured by the new president? Regionally, leaders are wondering if their Sharm el-Sheikh moment is coming. Yemen’s President Ali Abdullah Saleh has promised anti-government protesters he won’t run for office again. Defying a ban on demonstrations, Algerians marched Saturday to push for democratic reform.

tions have plagued Morocco. Syria lifted its ban on Facebook. Jordan’s King Abdullah II fired his government. Bahrain is giving $2,700 to every family. Ever yone, western leaders included, is trying to read between the lines. The military are holding the cards and they are putting out some reassuring words. But protesters have a right to be sceptical and look for action to back up the promises. Releasing imprisoned protesters would be a good place to start. A guarantee of a free and fair election would be another. People are talking about change not just in Egypt but the entire Middle East. Just what those changes are, what challenges they bring and what they mean to the region and the world are still in the cards.

Leave out the NIMBYism The letters to the editor about the proposed gravel conveyor on Vedder Mountain just keep on coming. Friday, Feb. 11’s Progress had a letter from Donna Dolman claiming she can see, from her house in Webster Landing, the mountain being “stripped away”. Is she talking about the gravel pit on top of Vedder Mountain that was already approved years ago? She can see that from her house – at the base of the mountain? Really? Or, can she only see it from the freeway she mentions? If the latter, just

how big is her own backyard anyway? Do people honestly believe their view of other people’s property actually belongs to them? If so, nothing would ever be approved including new subdivisions. About two years ago, several Webster Landing residents were complaining to city council, at two different meetings, about two different proposed developments right near their properties in Webster Landing. A couple of years before that, the people on Peach Road were

also before council, complaining about a newly proposed development near them called Webster Landing – the ver y land the Dolmans live on and using the ver y same arguments. Most new development complaints always boil down to NIMBYism pure and simple. Sure, it is our right to voice our opinions, but stop all the exaggerations and the confrontational ranting. State your concerns calmly and honestly and let our elected officials do the job we have entrusted them to do. Eileen Wright

Re: Hospital Celebration set for Feb. 18, Chilliwack Progress, Feb. 8. While I and many others applaud the recent Chilliwack General Hospital Emergency Room renovations, I really have to wonder why they have decided to commission aboriginal artwork by local artists and include them in these public facilities. No one will deny, least of all our community’s aboriginal folk, that these artworks are of a spiritual nature and embody or represent spirits in the local

aboriginal tradition. I would like to point out that many conservative people of the three great monotheistic faiths (Jews, Christians and Moslems), and possibly others such as Sikhs and atheists might find such public depictions not only deeply disturbing but also against the tenets of their belief system -- for example: • “4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the

ear th” (the Second Commandment in Exodus 20), and • “O you who believe, intoxicants, and gambling, and the altars of idols, and the games of chance are abominations of the devil; you shall avoid them, that you may succeed.” (Quran 5:90) Some of these people might even go so far as to avoid coming in to the ER in order to keep from “sinning” by avoiding them. I really wonder if this choice was thoroughly thought through. Consider the

2-11T CM8

Some may find art offensive uproar that would have occurred had religious artwork of a Christian nature been chosen instead. What makes aboriginal spiritual art, no matter how beautiful or original, more acceptable? Presumably these commissions are being paid for from money donated by members of all faiths who trusted that the full amount of their donation would go directly toward the ER facility upgrade. I hope it is not too late to change someone’s mind on this one.

Government run by big business Re: NDP’s problems go deeper (BC Views, Jan. 26) Tom Fletcher informs us that “if it weren’t for private capital, competition and rewards for efficiency and innovation there wouldn’t be much of a developed world to analyze.” Only the Fraser Institute would agree with that statement. In the real world it is mainly the concessions and publicly funded loans and grants that our

economy depend on. It is these loans and grants, plus investor capital that business operates on. Corporations such as Alcan, Canfor and Bombardier, to name a few, routinely seek public money to improve their investments in our natural resources. Industry Canada and Western Economic Diversification, not “private money,” is the basis of corporate involvement in our economy. The billions loaned

and granted to the business sector may never be returned to the taxpayers, let alone the interest on top of that. Revenue Canada states that a large number of businesses pay low or no federal taxes. Government subsidies, not private capital are the real promoters of our economy.

In pursuit of the hidden deal Smithens is an antique dealer, auctioneer and appraiser by trade, and his co-host Cozens, is a lawyer, former hockey player and life-long picker, according to the promo for the show. The future Chilliwack episode of Canadian Pickers, airing in July, will see the Calgarybased duo clad in western gear, and trying to bring down the prices of some skookum Pacific Northwest Coastal art. Tucked in between the pinball machines, and a massive Incredible Hulk figure, there are some stunning aboriginal masks, rattles, and totem poles by some of the best carvers on the coast. The show reps got wind of Learie’s appraisal ability and collection strength by word of mouth, and decided to give it a go at the store. “Neither of us knew Wayne before,” says Smithens. “But we’d been searching the West Coast for contacts when his name came up.” When he got the call from the show’s reps, Learie was in the basement of a stone heritage house in Langley, buying antiques, as usual. He’d appraised some of the items obtained from their earlier Fraser Valley picks in the first go-around of shooting. The crew now wanted to head back to the

‘Wack for more shooting, after scoring a great appraisal on the native mask they bought. “We’ve been all across Canada, but we love B.C.,” Smithens adds. On the Chilliwack pick, Smithens and Cozens honed right in on West Coast art, specifically Learie’s collection of native masks. “Overall B.C. has been great, even though it was hit and miss at times,” says Cozens. “We had a couple of total burn-outs and a couple of really good picks.” Part of the show’s appeal will centre on the hosts’ vibrant personalities. “I was born ready!” Cozens yelled when the director asked if they were ready to start shooting a scene. Clad in tan suede jacket and feathered cowboy hat, he’d been trying on a pair of leather chaps for size, in the western gear section of the store. His partner Smithens was admiring a hand-carved cane made out of a narwhal tusk inlaid with gold and silver, that came with its own set of official transportation papers. Later that day it would sell for a cool $4,500. “The good stuff is in high demand,” Learie explains. As Smithens peruses the store’s vast collection, he can be heard muttering something rhythmic and alliterative under

his breath. Turns out he is practising a tricky auctioneer’s tongue-twister with lines like: “... but she said this butter’s bitter, if I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter...” Last Sunday was the second time the TV crew was in Chilliwack. This time they were on the trail of a stunning mask by Kwakwaka’wakw carver Beau Dick called Wealthy Woman. The Beau Dick piece was part of Learie’s million-dollar collection of Northwest native art, of which he’s sold about threequarters to date, and counting. But it was too late for that deal. They discover to their dismay the mask that had caught their eye had sold right out from under them in the time they’d been gone — and it went for the full retail price of $12,500 to boot. They were hoping to pay substantially less. “They lost out on some things, but that’s business after all,” says Learie. “I couldn’t change the way the store works. That’s what I told them. Business is business.” Despite missing out on the Beau Dick mask, they ended up closing a few sweet deals on some other pieces worth thousands nonetheless, and everyone went away happy, he adds. “The show will go out on a bang,” Learie promises.

Injuries Resulting from a Motor Vehicle Accident?

In-SHUCK-ch still on treaty path: negotiator Robert Freeman The Progress A Progress story last week mistakenly implied that two In-SHUCK-ch bands in treaty talks would seek to amend a draft final agreement, if members of the Douglas First Nation reject it in a ratification vote. However, the “likely scenario” in those circumstances would be the Skatin and the Samahquam band members, if they approve the agreement, proceeding with the treaty-making process, said Gerard Peters, In-SHUCK-ch chief negotiator. But the parties would need

to reopen negotiations, he said, “particularly in the substantive issues in the chapters of land, cash and government” because of the DFN withdrawal. The In-SHUCK-ch First Nation, whose territor y includes the Lillooet Valley north of Harrison Lake, has been in treaty talks since 1993. But the Douglas First Nation pulled out of treaty talks in Januar y last year after concerns arose about being “overwhelmed” by the two larger bands and about protecting its business interests. A majority of members voted in a referendum to pull out of

treaty-making. But the B.C. Treaty Commission has now said the referendum was flawed, and is asking the DFN to hold another “binding and final” vote before the other two bands can move on with treaty-making. The draft final agreement was amended to meet the DFN’s concerns, but the nation’s leadership has not formally responded. If there is no change by the end of March, the two remaining bands are expected to amend the In-SHUCK-ch statement of intent.

The Abbotsford radiologist worked there temporarily for a month and had been involved in a similar incident of analyzing scans in the Cranbrook area last year. The locum radiologist at Abbotsford was from out of province, but was professionally credentialed and licensed in B.C., however the health authority was alerted in mid-December to performance concerns about his work, triggering an

investigation. Besides potential cancers, the scans may have involved scans of organs or heart conditions, Vancouver Coastal officials said. There were a total of 900 cases in Powell River where suspect scan interpretations were reinterpreted by qualified radiologists and then adjudicated again by another group of doctors on Vancouver Island. A total of 130 of those cases were found to require further checks with patients.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The incidents raise important questions that need to be answered as quickly as possible so all British Columbians can have confidence in their health care system.â&#x20AC;? Hansen has appointed B.C. Patient Safety and Quality Council chair Dr. Doug Cochrane to conduct a two-part investigation of the incidents and report publicly. Cochrane is charged with ensuring within 30 days that all radiologists now working in B.C. are correctly credentialed. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been given six months to examine all aspects of the incidents and make recommendations to ensure they are never repeated. NDP critic Adrian Dix said the fact it took the health authorities months to notify government of the incidents reflects a serious problem of accountability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They appeared more concerned, it appears, with insulating the government than ensuring thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accountability for what goes on,â&#x20AC;? Dix said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever that happens, it shakes public trust.â&#x20AC;? Fraser Health says all 170 patients affected in the Fraser Valley will receive a registered letter and the 10 patients or families with the most urgent concerns have or will be directly contacted. Patients with concerns can contact the Fraser Health Patient Care Quality Office at 1-877880-8823 or email pcqoffice@fraserhealth.ca.

The Powell River radiologist also handled obstetrical ultrasound scans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; involving 2,300 pregnant women, or twothirds of the total cases. In most of those cases the babies have already been born. Neither of the two radiologists are now practising in B.C., although one may be working in Ontario. Dr. David Ostrow, CEO of Vancouver Coastal, said he is also worried some cancers went undetected due to the faulty readings at Powell River. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It absolutely should not have occurred,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;deeply troubledâ&#x20AC;? that procedures of the health authorities and the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons were ineffective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have a screening process and that screening process failed,â&#x20AC;? Ostrow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ball was dropped in a whole bunch of places.â&#x20AC;? Vancouver Coastal officials knew about the suspect scan results since last October but did not notify the health ministry until Feb. 4. Hansen said he only learned of the Fraser Health incident Thursday (Feb. 10), several weeks after it was uncovered. The CEOs said they had to perform due diligence before telling Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to apologize for the stress and any new anxiety this may cause,â&#x20AC;? Hansen said.

More students than funding

UFV from p3 â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is not a policy to freeze funding for universities,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not out of the recession.â&#x20AC;? Chong pointed out that in 2001 UFV was receiving $33.5 million in operating grants, while today it is up to more than $53 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a substantial amount of additional dollars, and additional spaces,â&#x20AC;? said Chong, adding that UFV also recently received funding for the Canada Education Park campus in Chilliwack, which is a $40-million facility. The province acknowledged the global recession would create need for career changes and skills upgrades. Victoria added $131 million in funding to B.C. postsecondary institutions to create more student spaces for the 2010 school year. Chong said postsecondary institutions in the Lower Mainland are full. Admissions standards at UBC have been steadily rising for the past 30 years, as a huge number of applicants compete for a limited number of seats. For practical purposes, the standard for the 47,000-plus seats is set by academic achieve-

ment, and students now need an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? average to get in. Ten years ago the standard was 80 per cent, but this year it is up to almost 87 per cent. Every college and university in the province wants more funding, said Chong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural, they all want to grow and compete.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to government to set priorities. Victoria has put extra resources into specific â&#x20AC;&#x153;priority programsâ&#x20AC;? where there are shortages of trained workers, such as nurses and medical technicians. She said there are other options to deal with waiting lists, other than government adding more funding, such as students looking at other institutions where

they can take programs or courses they need. Chong said the provincial budget that is coming down today (Tuesday) is generally a â&#x20AC;&#x153;status quo budget overall,â&#x20AC;? including for

the university sector. The Liberal government will leave it to the new premier, who will be selected by the party on Feb. 26, to increase funding or institute any changes.

A 46-year-old Chilliwack man is facing several weapons-related charges after pointing a firearm at another person in a house on Lewis Avenue last Tuesday. Chilliwack RCMP and an Emergency Response Team arrested Cecil Wayne Braaten the next day while he was at another house on Trutch Avenue. Three firearms were then seized at Braaten’s Lewis Avenue home by police acting on a search warrant. Braaten is charged with pointing a firearm, unsafe storage of a firearm and unauthorized possession of a firearm. RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said police take firearm offences “very seriously.” “Seizing illegal and improperly stored firearms directly relates to enhancing public safety in our community,” she said. Braaten returns to court later this month.

Schoolkate said the decision is being rushed, as parents were only notified of the proposed change a week and a half ago. “To spring this on us just two weeks before the board votes on it, that’s not right,” she said. Schoolkate attended the public information meeting last week, and also toured Mt. Slesse middle school, but still was not satisfied. “I don’t feel they’ve addressed the specific concerns of our kids and parents,” she said. Some of those concerns include the separation of Yarrow’s support network with older students attending Vedder middle and younger ones at Mt. Slesse, as well as the “limited” sports opportunities available at Mt. Slesse compared to Vedder middle. “These are the things that really need to be addressed,” said Schoolkate. She hopes the petition will give the Yarrow community a voice and cause trustees to really think about how their decision will affect the community. So far the petition has approximately 50 signatures. The petition is available at Yarrow Rainbow Food and Gas. kbartel@theprogress.com

Rachel Schroots really is a master of languages. At 16 years old, the Grade 11 Sardis secondary student has already conquered French, Braille, and after just a year and a half of Spanish, is well on her way to conquering that language too. At least, that’s the belief the Spanish government has taken. Spain has awarded Schroots a six-week, $17,000, study trip this summer through Peru and Spain. She is one of 222 students from around the

world to participate in this year’s Ruta Quetzal-BBVA, and the only Canadian student chosen. This trip is no small potatoes. Participants will be following in the footsteps of Spanish cleric Baltasar Jaime Martínez Companón, who in 1779 became bishop of Trujillo, Peru. They’ll take advanced courses in language, sociology, anthropology, and will be thrown into an intense sports program. They’ll tour the Moche desert and the Amazon rainforest, and several other places in between. They’ll also meet the King and Queen of Spain. According to the Ruta

Quetzal website, only the best students in each country are chosen. “I know this is going to change my life,” Schroots said. Ever y applicant was required to submit an original piece of historical, literary, artistic or musical work covering one of several pre-designated topics. They were also required to write a formal letter and a one-page description of the project – all in Spanish. Schroots knew she had to stand out. For four months, from October to January, she spent her mornings, lunches and after-school hours in Spanish teacher Paola

Blaak’s classroom studying, researching, working on the project. She worked on it in the evenings, sometimes as late as 1:30 in the morning, and on weekends too. “Any free time I had went to this project,” she said. “This was a trip of a lifetime, and I had only one chance to get in, why would I only put in half an effort?” Schroots focused her project on the Moche culture, but soon discovered they weren’t an easy culture to research. The Moche, who resided in Peru from 100 to 800 AD, didn’t have a written language. Continued: MOCHE/ p19

From the Moche desert to the Amazon jungle MOCHE from p15 “I researched for two months,” she said. “It took tons of time, because it’s a really old culture and there was no written language. I couldn’t just do a simple Google search.” Most of her information came from images of clay pots featuring Moche paintings, engravings and sculptures. “They were amazing pot makers,” she said. “Everything about them were on their pots, daily gatherings, seal hunts, warriors, their faces. “I had to study the art in order to understand the culture,” she said. “I learned so much just by looking at those pictures.” In presenting her

project, Schroots built a diorama, which featured a temple, an urban centre, the ocean, the mountains, and key figures in Moche society: a fisherman, pot maker, farmer, jeweler, priest and warrior. And she didn’t stop there. She also made the casing of the diorama look like an old book, with the edges carved to look like paper, and the front and back covered in old leather. She then journaled five-and-a-half typed pages to be inserted on the inner top flap of the box. The journal was that of fictional character Fernando Quintilla’s journey from Spain to the Moche dessert in the 1700s. She wrote about the things he saw in the village,

about the people, the houses, their complex irrigation system, what they grew, what they caught, what they ate – everything Schroots, herself, saw depicted on those pots. “Rachel did Spanish 12 and so much more with this project, and a lot of what she learned was self taught,” said Blaak. “It is so rewarding to find a student who is so enthusiastic about stepping outside the classroom boundaries.” For Schroots, learning a language is about more than just learning the words. “It’s about the whole culture and what’s behind it,” she said. “This trip is showing me the culture. I’m going to be living in Spanish.”

Horak centering pass. Howse had just over a minute to celebrate his 40th of the year before Tri-City’s Carter Ashton restored the two goal lead. This one came on a power play, with Chilliwack’s Dylen McKinlay banished to the box for tripping. Ashton parked beside the Bruin net, punching in a feed from Shinnimin. The Bruins had their chances in a scoreless second period, includ-

ing a pair of five-onthree power plays 20 and 80 seconds long. But Chilliwack couldn’t click with the man advantage, striking out on the five-on-threes and going 0-for-7 overall. “We’ve got five forwards on our first unit and we’re all skilled players and we have to produce,” Sundher said. “We had tons of chances to change the game and we didn’t make a difference.” Tri-City pushed the

lead to 4-1 3:08 into period three on a goal by Kruise Reddick, who one-timed a feed from Jordan Messier on a two-on-one rush. Hughesman added his second of the game at 10:44 as Tri-City’s second-ranked power play went two-for-two. David Conrad wrapped up the scoring with 5:41 remaining, roofing a beautiful shot over Gore’s left shoulder. Gore left the net after Conrad’s tally,

ending his night with 32 saves on 38 shots. Braden Gamble finished up. Final shots on goal favoured the Ams 42-21. The Bruins have four days of practice before heading south for three games against U.S. division opposition. “This weekend has been a confidence builder, and now we just have to raise the bar and expect it every night,” Sundher said.

COMMISH GETS NEW DEAL

The Western Hockey League announced on Wednesday that commisioner Ron Robison has signed a new five-year extension. Robison took the job before the start of the 2000-01 season and is in his 11th year in the big chair. Under his leadership, the league has continued to be a leading supplier of talent to the National Hockey League, Canadian national team and CIS university programs.

CHILLIWACK ON THE ROAD Chilliwack Tri-City e ca s Bruins Americans

HEAD-TO-HEAD The Bruins play three tough games in three nights against U.S. division opposition this weekend. The Bruins visit the Tri-City Americans on Friday, the Portland Winter Hawks on Saturday and the Seattle Thunderbirds on Sunday. Chilliwack is 36-49-7-5 all time against the division.

'DUH WR EH D .LG

If Meatloaf was right when he sang that ‘Two out of three ain’t bad,’ then the Chilliwack Bruins are in good shape after the latest Western Hockey League weekend. Three games in three nights ended with a thud — a 6-1 home-ice loss to the Tri-City Americans Sunday night — but the good guys scored big wins over the Kelowna Rockets on Friday (5-4) and Saturday (4-1). They come out of the weekend sitting eighth in the Western conference standings, which is better than they sat going in. Goaltender Lucas Gore is getting back in the zone and Ryan Howse is on a scoring tear. One loss shouldn’t wreck what has been one of the better weeks of this season. “We had two character wins against Kelowna, and while it’s hard to think about that right now, those wins showed this team has a little more resiliency than some people thought,” Kevin Sundher said after the game. “It could have been a fantastic weekend, but you know what, two out of three against pretty good

teams is not bad.” The Bruins played defensively responsible hockey on Saturday as they disposed of the Rockets at Prospera Centre. On Sunday the home team was a bit too sloppy against a team that feasts on mistakes. “We didn’t have it today, and we didn’t execute nearly well enough to expect to win,” Sundher noted. “We can’t blame fatigue because they had a worse schedule this weekend than we did. It’s just unfortunate.” Chilliwack’s first critical error was an unintentional one. Curt Gogol had his stick snap as he handled the puck, leading to a breakaway for Brendan Shinnimim. The Manitoba native went over Gore’s glove for his 25th of the year. Adam Hughesman struck for his 37th of the year and a 2-0 Tri-City lead, finishing off another lightning quick transition play at 9:43. Chilliwack briefly cut into the deficit when Howse scored at 17:35. Video review was required to determine who scored the goal, as Sundher initially appeared to get the last touch on a Roman

OMMUNITY SPORTS REVIEW

Sardis star stuck in the spotlight Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Michael Covey can likely count on one hand the number of easy baskets he’s had this season. Honestly, he can probably count them on one finger. Each time the Sardis secondary school scoring star has had the ball, he’s been swarmed by opposing defenders who fear him more than any other Falcon shooter. Normal defensive attention is one thing, but having to beat four defenders to get to the hoop is something altogether different. That’s what happens when the opposition knows that you’re the one who can beat them. Covey’s the one who can throw down 30 points and carry the Sardis offence on his shoulders. Covey’s the one who can sink a key shot at a key time to swing momentum in the Falcons’ favour. Shut down Covey, and you likely shut down Sardis. He knows it. Last Thursday, Covey and company eeked out a 61-54 win over Chilliwack secondary school, ending the season for the Storm. Covey tallied 13 points, statistically one of the quietest nights you’ll ever see him have. CSS forward Kyle Rollheiser had the primary responsibility for covering Covey, and did an admirable job of it. On those occasions when the 17-year-old thought he might have a clear path to the hoop, the entire CSS team seemed to collapse into the paint. “It can be very frustrating, and it was getting pretty rough in there too,” Covey admitted. Rather than force things, Covey played it smart, kicking the ball outside to open shooters. The strategy worked.

Logan Roger banged and crashed his way to a team-high 14 points, with James Rendall adding 13. “Tonight was hard because Kyle and a few of those other guys were face-guarding me,” Covey said. “But we were getting the points, so I wasn’t too worried about my own scoring. I was just happy to get a win.” Covey’s only workable strategy to get open was to roll off screens, as he did in the first quarter when Rendall set a perfect pick at the three-point line. Covey drained the trey for his first points of the night. “Rendall is pretty good at setting screens for me because we’ve played together for a while,” Covey said. “But most of the time I try to drive and kick and get the other guys open shots.” Last year, Covey had Josiah Alleckna riding shot-gun — they formed a nice 1A and 1B duo. Blanket Covey and Alleckna was liable to torch you. Focus on Alleckna and Covey would go nuts on the scoreboard. “It was so nice because when I wasn’t playing good, he usually was playing good,” Covey said. “When we were both on, it really made our offence tough to stop.” On Thursday night, Sardis coach Kyle Graves utilized Hayden Lejeune against CSS, a six-foot-five forward with a birth certificate that says he’s only in Grade 9. The kid was a force around the basket. He showed good instincts and soft hands, draining a 10 footer for two of his seven points. Lejeune’s presence drew some attention away from Covey, giving him a small taste of the good ol’ days when the spotlight didn’t shine solely on him. “He grabs the boards, which has been a big problem for us,” Covey said. “I can’t believe he’s only Grade 9, and I wish I had another year to play with him.”

REVIEW

Sardis secondary’s Michael Covey is the one who can throw down 30 points and carry the Sardis offence on his shoulders. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Wins have been just about as scarce for Covey as open looks this year. Through last week the Falcons had gone 2-6 in Abbotsford East league play, leaving them fifth in the six team circuit. In their second year under the stewardship of University of the Fraser Valley assistant coach Kyle Graves, the Falcons played an up-tempo style that was entertaining, if not always effective. A former Sardis student and CIS player, Graves provided some stability for Covey, who’d gone through three coaches in three years before this season. “Kyle gets us in the gym a lot more and he’s always pushing us,” Covey said. “He’s been up to the university level and he knows how far to push us. And I love playing the style that he wants to play, even if it doesn’t always work out.”

This time last year, Covey was watching enviously as G.W. Graham stars Micah Cockrill and Chris Thomson were courted by CIS teams. Cockrill ended up signing with the University of British Columbia-Okanagan,

where he has emerged as a contender for rookie of the year. Thomson signed with the University of Lethbridge. Covey hasn’t received the same attention, and doesn’t expect too, simply because he lacks the height that those

two possess. But Graves has no doubt his star player can not only survive but thrive at the next level. “I’ve put a lot of expectations on him this season, and the thing I’ve liked the most is that he doesn’t get frustrated,” the coach said. “As a

coach you look for athletes like Michael. All he has to do is work on his decision making, and I’d really like to see him on a team where he can be the third or fourth option and be able to shoot without having three guys all over him.”

Grizzlies roll into post-season

The G.W. Graham Grizzlies senior girls basketball team defeated Abbotsford’s Mennonite Educational Institute (MEI) 73–60 on Thursday to clinch the first league cham-

pionship in school history. The Grizzlies were led by the scoring talents of Kaitlyn McDonald, who drained 36 points. Breena Wirtz was a monster on the offensive and defensive glass, bringing down 15 rebounds. Seniors Mikaela McManus and Janelle Tucker also had outstanding performances. With the victory the girls are guaranteed a top-four seed in the

upcoming Fraser Valley Championship. They will host the first two rounds of Valleys next Friday and Saturday as they search for their first ever provincial berth. Meanwhile, the senior boys basketball team defeated Aldergrove 92-48 Thursday night. It was a night of balanced scoring for the Grizzles, with all 15 players playing significant minutes. The team got big news earlier in the day

when the latest provincial rankings were released. The Grizzlies are currently ranked number one among AA schools. The Grizzlies have clinched their second straight league championship and will also host the first two rounds of the Fraser Valley tournament next weekend. Both the boys and girls play their final league games tonight, with tip-offs at 6:15 and 8 p.m.
