Seniors held hostage at border

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

A

group of Chilliwack senior citizens say they were held hostage for nearly two hours as they returned to Canada after a casino day trip in Washington.

The time the busload of seniors— many of whom were in their 70s and 80s—spent in a coach with no air circulation led to the hospitalization

Casino day trip turns into nightmare as border officials kept anxious seniors trapped on bus

of an 85-year-old woman. “[Border officials] just abandoned the bus,” Chilliwack resident Rodney Philippson told theTimes. “They just wouldn’t come out.”

The episode began when the 52 seniors crossed into Washington State at Sumas Thursday morning

for a day trip to the Silver Reef Casino on the Lummi Reservation.

After a few hours at the casino, the bus headed back for Canada and arrived at the border crossing at 5:22 p.m., according to Philippson. At the border, the driver shut off the bus and went inside to the office. Hilda

Hoping to make hay with Dragons

Lucky to be alive

Chilliwack man says he’s lucky to be alive and without a single broken bone after an ATV accident sent him plunging down a 200-foot embankment Sunday afternoon.

“Even my strawberries taste better,” Reg Hensbee, 63, told the Times on Monday, less than 24 hours after his accident.

Hensbee was riding with three other men EB IRST isnocnl uCdhi na gd hoins First reported on the mountain chilliwacktimes.com between Tamihi Campground and Cultus Lake when he and his machine hit a patch of loose shale and slipped off the road and down a long bank.

Seeing his father tumbling down the bank, Chad Hensbee leaped off his own machine and attempted to grab his father, Reg told the Times.

Chad wasn’t able to stop his father’s fall, however, and Reg ended up bouncing some 200 feet down the See ATV, Page 3

Walker of Chilliwack was the hostess on the bus trip and she brought the seniors’ declarations into the customs office.

That wasn’t good enough and customs officials wanted to see passports. But instead of getting out of the bus, filing through the customs

building to show passports, the seniors were ordered to put all their passports in a plastic bag, which was brought to border officials.

Because the bus was shut off— something the driver said was a requirement of border officials—air was not circulating and some on the bus say they were threatened with arrest if they got off.

Chilliwack hay salesman Gary Baars hopes the entrepreneurs on CBC’s Dragons Den take a shine to his business pitch Thursday.

Chilliwack man is heading to Toronto later his week to try to entice some of Canada’s most successful—and ruthless—entrepreneurs to get into the hay-selling business.

Sure, Gary Baars’s nationally televised appearance on CBC’s Dragons Den won’t exactly put certain Chilliwack stereotypes to rest. But the 27-year-old Timothy Christian grad hopes his encounter with the dragons will give a further boost to his already successful hay sales business.

Baars operates TNT Hay Sales, which buys high-grade feed, mostly in the United States, and brings it north to sell in the Lower Mainland.

Right now, he says he does a roaring business delivering the hay from his Sardis barn. But with most of his customers located west of Abbotsford, Baars wants to set up a retail location in Langley that would allow customers to pick up their hay.

That’s where the dragons come in.

“It’s hard to get the money from the bank as a sole proprietor, espe-

cially at my age,” he told the Times.

“If you’re 40 or 50 and doing business for a long time, it probably would be a little easier. But being in your 20s, it’s almost impossible to get large sums of money.”

So as a fan of the show, when Baars heard Dragons Den producers were in Abbotsford holding auditions, he thought he’d give it a shot.

His business proposal was impressive enough to get the producer’s attention but Dragons Den is a TV show and needs to entertain its audience.

Asked what he would do to “put on a good show,” Baars said he told the producer “I promise you I’ll show up in ass-less chaps on the show.”

That sealed the deal but suddenly meant that Baars, wife Marie, and a colleague needed to book tickets to Toronto for the taping of the show on Thursday. (Baars will bring along an extra set of chaps for a dragon.)

The dragons are known for their cutting remarks to would-be entrepreneurs whose business acumen, or idea, may be lacking. They also usually expect a substantial slice of See DRAGONS, Page 10

Chantel Masse wonders why an erratic driver reported in Langley wasn’t stopped before she caused an accident in Chilliwack.

911. They were passed onto the Langley highway patrol who told them officers were on the way.

Meanwhile, Anderson tried to keep up with the woman in order to get her licence plate.

At Whatcom Road, with no sign of the police they called again and told a 911 dispatcher that the woman had almost gone in the ditch and nearly sideswiped another vehicle.

“She was just out trying to cause an accident on the highway,” he said.

And soon Masse would have her first encounter with the woman.

Entering the Highway at No. 3 Road in Abbotsford after a day at work, Masse came upon the Volvo.

“They were one of those drivers you did not want to pass,” she said. So Masse didn’t.

There’s no proof that the driver of the Volvo was impaired, but Masse said she was driving like it.

Still behind the driver, Masse took the Vedder Road exit. But in front of her, the wild driver suddenly swung her car across the highway to the side of the offramp. Anderson followed.

Then, Masse said, the other driver “looks right at me and accelerates her car right into my driver’s door and then takes off swerving and speeding and fishtailing down Vedder Road.”

Masse was uninjured in the collision, and quick enough to grab a licence plate of the car. She and several witnesses went to Chilliwack Mall to park. But the

ifty-plus kilometres, a broken windshield, several near accidents and multiple calls to 911 didn’t stop the grey Volvo, and neither, it would seem, would Chantel Masse’s driver-side door.

The collision between the Volvo and Masse’s Pontiac Sunfire on March 30 marked the Chilliwack arrival of a driver that had first caused Shayne Anderson to call the RCMP nearly half an hour earlier. But it didn’t mark the end of the road for the Volvo, which sped away from the accident.

Masse was uninjured and her car is getting fixed. Anderson, meanwhile, is looking at biting a $200 bullet to get his window fixed as a result of the driver.

But both are wondering why the woman wasn’t stopped before she caused a collision.

Anderson first noticed the Volvo on Highway 1 near the 200 Street exit. He and his father were driving in their tow truck to look at a trailer in Chilliwack when the Volvo came onto the highway.

“About 232nd, she cut in front of the car in front of me and hammered on her breaks,” said Anderson, who is still furious. “I slammed on the breaks and headed for the curb because I thought I was going to hit the car in front of me, and then she took off.”

Anderson said the car continued to drive erratically, nearly colliding with several vehicles. So he and his father called

driver took off. Anderson and his father attempted to follow the fleeing driver, but eventually lost her on the other side of Chilliwack Mall.

When they returned, they told Masse that they had been following the driver for more than half an hour.

Masse said officers later told her that they traced the other driver to her home in Surrey, to which she had returned following the accident. They also told Masse that while the woman may have been driving like she was impaired, because they couldn’t catch the woman, she could only be charged with leaving the scene of an accident.

Worse, the police officers told Masse this wasn’t the first time the other driver had been involved in such an accident.

Contacted by the Times, Fraser Valley Traffic Services Staff Sgt. Jim Simmill said he didn’t have enough information on the case to say, exactly, why the driver wasn’t stopped. But he noted that police resources may have been deployed elsewhere.

“If we had our guys out there, we would have looked for it,” said Simmill.

He added: “very possibly we may not have anybody in that immediate area to intercept.”

Masse, meanwhile, fears that the other driver will cause a future accident and much more damage in the future.

“What concerns me is she looked straight at me and floored her car into my car. I’m lucky that I’m safe and fine but she’ll just do it again.”

embankment before being stopped by a tree.

“Thank God for trees,” said Reg on Monday. “I’ll be hugging them a whole bunch now.”

While he miraculously didn’t break any bones, Reg injured his back and wasn’t able to get back to the road.

His fellow riders called 911 and Search and Rescue personnel responded on ATVs and in a helicopter.

With Search and Rescue crews unable to get Reg back to the road, they instead used a long-line attached to the helicopter to lift him to safety.

“It was my first helicopter ride and believe me, it’s not how I wanted it to happen,” said Reg. The grateful man was subsequently taken to hospital, where numerous X-rays and scans revealed no lasting damage. At home on Sunday, Reg said he was sore and had neck, back and shoulder pain.

But he’s not complaining.

“I had a higher power up there looking after me,” he said.

Reg praised the response from Search and Rescue, police, paramedics and medical personnel.

“I really appreciated everybody,” he said. “It was just awesome.”

And he’s warning fellow ATVers to take care on trails around Chilliwack, especially on the loose shale that sent him down the bank.

Reg said he was “just crawling along” on the road when his machine began to slip. It will be a while before he gets back on his machine.

But when he does so, he says he won’t hesitate to just turn around the next time he encounters a risky stretch of road. “It was just a bad move at the wrong time,” he conceded. “I’ll never do it again, I’ll tell you.”

But just the fact that he can talk about next time, is enough to dull the pain of Reg’s retiree’s scratches and bruises.

TulipMania organizer Dilan Praat says this spring’s nasty weather has delayed this year’s crop.

Chill takes bloom off tulips

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

A

chilly spring has put a damper on the third annual TulipMania fundraiser, which kicked off Saturday at Bloomz n’ Herbz in Rosedale.

The planting of the tulips was first delayed by unceasing rain in March. Cold weather has since caused most of the flowers to remain tucked away, their bright flowers out of sight.

That has pushed back the annual tulip flowering by as much as four weeks, and has TulipMania’s organizers hoping that the red, yellow and white flowers will blossom by next week.

“We just finally have some flowers coming through right now,” said Dilan Praat, surveying his field of tulips Saturday morning—the opening day of the fundraiser, which raises money for the Chilliwack Hospice Society and BC Cancer Foundation.

“We’re really at the mercy of the elements when it comes to the weather,” said Praat.

While some yellow tulips have bloomed, other colours remain hidden. Praat hopes that they’ll be out by Easter weekend.

In Agassiz, the story is similar, with the Tulips of the Valley Tulip Festival postponed for at least a week.

\XZZ[[

“Only green fields to see right now. It’s not what we expected,” said organizer Kate OnosGilbert. “If people call, I’m telling them not to come out.”

Onos-Gilbert said unseasonable weather has delayedbloomingandtherelikelywon’tbemuch of a spectacle until at least Easter weekend.

“In March we decided to hold the festival April 16, and that was late, but we’ve had too many cold nights so there won’t be much to see this weekend. It’s supposed to get warmer so it could be Easter or two weekends from now—the end of April—before they will be out,” she said.

TulipMania is held at Bloomz n’ Herbz, at 51535 Ferry Rd. in Rosedale. The field is open from noon to 8 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. Admission costs $3 per person, $6 for a family. Five stems cost $2, 30 stems cost $10, with proceeds going to charity.

Tulips of the Valley’s Tulip Festival, on Chowat Rd. in Agassiz, costs $6 for car and driver, $3 for additional adults, $2.50 for seniors. Kids 12 and under are free. The field is open Wednesday to Friday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m, weekends from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Good Friday and Easter Monday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

10th Annual Hike for Hospice

SUNDAY, MAY 1 2 pm at Townsend Park 2K - 5K Walk Awards, Prizes, Refreshments

ENTERTAINMENT BY

Helen McIntosh holds a picture of her dear friend Claire Kinnis. McIntosh has chosen the photo, taken during a golf trip to Palm Springs, for the new Hike for Hospice memorial PowerPoint presentation.

Hospice hike adds photos

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

H

elen McIntosh is holding a photo of her friend, Claire Kinnis. “It’s just a picture of a beautiful, loving, caring, strong person.” The picture is a composite taken during a golf trip in the late 1980s—one corner shows Claire finishing a swing; the other is a close up of her smiling face.

“It reminds me of the many trips we had down to Palm Springs.”

McIntosh has dug up the photo for a memorial PowerPoint presentation at next month’s May 1 Hike for Hospice.

For the first time this year, organizers are collecting photos from hikers, volunteers, donors and sponsors who want to honour loved ones in a digital slideshow.

McIntosh has picked this photo of Claire because it captures her friend’s passion for golf and a big part of their friendship.

The two met on a golf course in 1975.

“You hit the ball with mucho gusto,” said Claire after seeing McIntosh play, “and that’s the kind of player I like to go on the course with.”

It was the beginning of a 36-year friendship that ended last January with McIntosh caring for Claire at her friend’s Chilliwack home until the very end of Claire’s battle with cancer.

“She did not want to go into a hospital,” said McIntosh. “She wanted to die at home. She asked me if I would look after her here, and I said that I would. Towards the end it got quite difficult. I didn’t want her to go.”

When McIntosh first took on the task of caring for her friend, she knew little about Hospice.

“I was aware of them, but I didn’t know how much help they could be to someone,” she said.

She got in touch with the society after a homecare nurse recommended them, and Hospice vigil volunteers were with her during the last 72 hours of Claire’s life.

Their presence was a comfort, but even more importantly, they directed her to Hospice resources, like grief counseling and a grief support group, that are helping her navigate her loss.

“I just don’t know where I’d be right now if I wasn’t getting the help from them that I have been,” said McIntosh. ◗ The 10th annual Hike for Hospice takes place Sunday, May 1 at Townsend Park, with registration at 1 p.m. and the hike itself at 2 p.m. Photos of loved ones for the memorial PowerPoint presentation can be submitted to the Chilliwack Hospice Society office (45360 Hodgins Avenue) by April 25. Registration forms for the hike are available at the CHS office or online at www.chilliwackhospice.org/hike.html.

Everyone to get call from Strahl

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

C

onservative election candidate Mark Strahl will skip the second of two public all-candidates meetings on Tuesday, but he has a high-tech plan to connect with the public the next day.

On Wednesday at 6:30 p.m., telephones will ring in 35,000 households in the ChilliwackFraser Canyon riding—a call that, if answered, will allow constituents to take part in a townhall-style meeting.

Those who answer the call—or call in to a number to be provided before Wednesday—will be able to ask questions or listen in on the discussion.

“It just lets you get in contact with so many other people,” Strahl’s campaign manager Matthew Barker told the Times Monday. “There are probably thousands that will stay on the line.”

Notwithstanding the hightech campaigning, Strahl will miss the all-candidates meeting Tuesday evening at the University of the Fraser Valley “due to previously scheduled campaign commitments,” according to a press release.

Strahl was not available to comment on Monday, but Barker told the Times it was unfortunate that he was unable to attend, although he could not say where Strahl would be “off the top of my head.”

He added that if people have questions they are welcome to call Strahl’s campaign office or send him an e-mail.

The organizer of the UFV debate said he was “very dis-

appointed” Strahl would not be at the Tuesday meeting.

“I was really looking forward to having his opinions,” UFV student life events assistant Desmond Devnich told theTimes.

Asked if he thought Strahl’s absence had anything to do with avoiding hard questions from a constituency that might be less Tory than, for example, the Chamber of Commerce, Devnich said he believes it was simply a scheduling matter.

“I don’t think it was anything personal,” he said.

“There is also a city council meeting that night.”

Strahl did attend a Rotary all-candidates meeting and planned on attending the Tuesday morning Probus Club meeting—both of which were not open to the public.

He is also scheduled to attend the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce all-candidates meeting Thursday at the Coast Hotel at 12:30 p.m.

In a press release, Strahl said the remainder of his time will be devoted to his full campaign schedule and getting out the Conservative message, which includes “lower taxes, cracking down on crime, getting rid of the gun registry and promoting family-friendly policies.”

Recent candidate tweets:

◗ Strahl on Sunday: “Go Canucks Go! Stay Bruins Stay!” ◗ Janzen said her campaign had raised more money than any Liberal candidate in the past 40 years. ◗ O’Mahony commented on Adrian Dix’s win as provincial NDP leader: “Congratulations Adrian!”

Attack ads work but not these

W

ith the election campaign winding down to the final two weeks, desperation is clearly setting in.

I’ve lost track of how many news outlets have ran a story in the last couple days with the headline referring to the Liberals taking the gloves off. Actually, it’s more like they took their socks off and good Lord, what a stench. Here’s the party that was going to take the high road and not stoop to those evil “American style” attack ads. But the political vitriol in their ads released this past weekend is absolutely foul.

In the past, the Libs got some mileage recycling the tired old refrain of how scary Stephen Harper was and his supposed dangerous hiddenagenda. But voters soon saw through this and those types of ads lost any impact they once had. The low point for Canadian politics in the last 10 years was the Paul Martin camp releasing a commercial that claimed Harper was going to put soldiers in the streets The backlash was furious, the ad was yanked, the Liberals never got back on track and Paul Martin was reduced to an asterisk in the history books.

Now, with all polling suggesting the Liberals are going nowhere, they’re at it again. This time they’re trying to scare Canadians, especially seniors, that a Conservative government would slash health care funding by upwards of $10 billion. Interestingly enough, the only government in recent times to sub-

JOHN MARTIN

Crime Matters stantially slash health care funding was the Liberals, who rolled back transfers to the provinces and absolutely devastated health care across the land.

This allowed them to take credit for balancing the budget, something that under any honest assessment should be credited to the Mulroney government for introducing free trade and the muchhated GST. Make no mistake about it. It was former Conservative finance ministers Michael Wilson and Don Mazankowski who undid the financial catastrophe created by the Trudeau Liberals. It’s a situation not much different than the kid who takes credit for getting the lid off the pickle jar after someone else loosened it.

And now, the same Liberals that wrecked havoc on the health care system so they could take credit for eliminating the deficit are back playing the hidden agenda card and trying to pass themselves off as the true defenders of health care.

It would be laughable if so much wasn’t at stake.

The reality is that attack ads work and they can work very well.

Sometimes they go sideways or backfire. But they can be incredibly successful and have the potential

to change the game overnight. At some level though, they have to be at least somewhat based in fact, no matter how remotely.

This is partially why the Conservative campaign, however shaky, has been working. The attack ads claiming Michael Ignatieff is an opportunist who is “just visiting” have some basis in reality. The Liberal leader was quoted years ago as suggesting he might, one day, be interested in returning to Canada to become Prime Minister. He has also candidly conceded that, if unsuccessful, he may return to Harvard.

The claim that the Conservatives plan to gut health care, conversely, is little more than a shot in the dark; a desperate hail Mary with the clock ticking away. No matter how dark, gloomy and scary the Liberals try to make Harper out to be, they’re unlikely to see any traction at this point.

Election campaigns are largely about two things; defining yourself before the other guy has a chance to, and defining the other guy before he’s able to. The Conservatives appear to have done the latter masterfully while the Liberals are fumbling way too late with the former.

Mercifully, the playoffs are on. ◗ John Martin is a criminologist at the University of the Fraser Valley.

John.Martin@ufv.ca. This commentary is the author’s personal opinion and is not the opinion or policy of his employer.

he Mark Strahl campaign seems to believe public debates with the candidates of other parties aren’t as important as other events planned in the riding.

Strahl and his Conservative advisors may be right. It is a massive riding and when things are planned well in advance scheduling will always be a challenge.

But we think public meetings where voters get to see candidates face-to-face, sitting side-by-side with the other candidates are important.

Other than mock elections planned by some schools, the all-candidates meetings past and future include: April 6 at Rotary Club, April 12 in Hope, April 19 at the Probus Club, April 19 at UFV and April 21 at the Chamber of Commerce.

Of those five meetings, Strahl attended Rotary and he said he will attend Probus and the Chamber. He skipped Hope and said he will skip UFV. For a baseball batting average, three out of five ain’t bad.

But Rotary and Probus were not public meetings and the Chamber of Commerce is a lunch-time meeting.

That makes the only two public, evening all-candidates meetings to be held over the course of this entire federal election the one in Hope on April 12, which he missed and one at UFV tonight, April 19, which he said he would miss.

Other candidates have missed and will likely miss public meetings but let’s be honest: Strahl is the front-runner and other than being his father’s son, he is a relative unknown.

At least one reader has said the Times has made too much of Strahl’s public meeting attendance, but we think it is important to not only engage the electorate at the door and on the street, but to engage them alongside those candidates are running against.

Board should keep two-week break Editor: School District 33 should continue the two-week spring break. One week simply does not allow children, teens and staff to relax, travel, spend time bonding with family and catch up on much needed sleep.

Secondly, spring break is also used by many students to catch up on homework.

Every child and teen has a different learning ability and some need the extra help from homework programs provided during spring break.

Furthermore, there are many working teens. Postsecondary, cars, books and other things keep rising in price, that’s why many teenagers work part-time jobs in order to save up.

Not every teen walks out of high school with bursaries or scholarships, and some won’t be able to qualify for student loans.

Chilliwack school board’s argument was that parents would not want to pay for child care while they worked. This is a great opportunity for teens to make money and also if they couldn’t afford child care, the government subsidizes lower-income families.

We recently got another education cutback, so the money could help with keeping staff and paying for things that are much more needed. Their other statement was that CUPE staff would miss a week’s worth of pay. Why should we have to pay for it?

Also, it benefits our teachers. They pave the path to your children’s future. They deserve the time to relax, reduce stress and blow off some steam. Many of my teachers believe that the students come back more refreshed and willing to learn with a two-week spring break. Was that not the reason for a spring break overall?

Lastly, the school board voted with seven people to make the change, but we have 1,800 staff and 14,000 students. I believe this is an unfair democratic decision.

School District 33 should consider the needs of their students and teaching staff and maintain a two-week spring break.

Spend money on living dogs Editor: There is nothing that angers me more than animals being abused. I am a huge supporter of the SPCA and was as appalled as everyone else about the culling of sled dogs. However, I was equally appalled when I read that the SPCA was investing $200,000 to “investigate” this tragedy, which includes digging up the site of the buried dogs.

I think it is already apparent what happened to these animals and who is responsible. Should we not invest this money on animals that are still alive and need our help?

Heather Trundle Chilliwack

Need to be more neutral Editor: I was really appalled to read Paul Henderson’s Times front-page article on April 15 with bold headline saying Strahl a no-show for debate.

When three candidates were a no-show I would like to ask why only one was picked on, and why the NDP was both so favoured and so critical? I found it very unfairly downplayed that this is a short campaign with much territory to cover and Mark Strahl explained that he had another commitment that night. He also gave time to Hope on the April 11. Can that be said about the other two candidates who missed the all candidates meeting in Hope?

Why is the tweeting not concentrating on the discus-

sion and issues at hand? As for the speculation countering his own explanation as to why he did not attend and bringing his dad into this, I would also say that just as Gwen has a clean slate and chance to prove herself Mark deserves that same chance. Much ado has been made in the press and by the NDP about Mark taking over for his dad as MP. Not much has been said about its downfalls as well as its advantages.

So, it seems Mark is being criticized regarding both positives and negatives that occurred during his father’s time as our MP. Maybe before she tweets on this and issues a press release whining about the sliver in her opponents or his father’s eyes Gwen O’Mahony should look at the log in her own party’s eye. While the Conservatives have helped us hold our own during a very difficult recession, under NDP rule we got further into debt and supported social programs to a degree that have made many Canadians co-dependent. I find the NDP concentrates way too much on slamming others and way too little on the issues that Canadians are concerned about. It is politics like this that have pushed me from the NDP to the Conservative camp.

The issues and comments should be focused not on Chuck or who Mark is in relationship; that has its negative side as well as the plus side but the press seems to present both as negatives. The bonus, I would say, is not in who Mark is in relationship to Chuck so much as to Mark himself, who has had firsthand opportunity (over many years) to see the

results of political decisions, both good and bad, first hand. And he has himself been working in politics since his graduation many years ago. What experience does Gwen have in politics?

Why do the headlines not read three no-shows out of six candidates?

I am a fan of the Times but I just found this article to be pretty biased. Our papers should be neutral and report honestly the facts on both sides of the fence (or in this case on all sides of the fence) and let the public judge rather than NDP and the writer of the article judging. Let’s encourage our leaders and our papers to fight a clean campaign . . . let’s focus on real issues.

Vote for best candidate Editor: The national debate between our party leaders seems to be viewed by the media as more of a sporting event than a political debate.

I began watching the debate considering it a duty of any responsible voter —maybe even comparing to a homework assignment —but after a few minutes I admit I just couldn’t bear it any longer and switched to something entertaining.

Thank goodness none of the debaters will be appearing on our ballots—but their representatives will, and therein is our responsibility.

Granted, it appears that Stephen Harper will form the next government—and possibly with a majority.

However I am a little disturbed by the audacity of what appears to be a Strahl dynasty and on that point, disappointed by the apparent routine approval of the Conservative party in considering this candidate without competition.

Regardless, I’m hoping Chilliwack voters will vote for whom they regard as the best candidate on the ballot, regardless of party affiliation. The rest of the nation always chooses the governing party.

News DRAGONS, from page 1 the pitched business in return for their investment capital.

Baars said he will ask the dragons for $400,000 in return for 30 per cent of his company. That values TNT at more than $1 million, but Baars is confidence that his revenues justify his valuation.

Even if the dragons want a bigger slice of TNT, Baars said he’s fine with giving up a portion of the business he built from the ground up.

“I always say, ‘Are you better off owning 100 per cent of $100,000 or 50 per cent of $10 million. I’ll take 50 per cent of $10 million every time,” he said. “Even if I have to give up a decent chunk of my company, they’re going to want to have a successful business, they’re going to want to make sure it’s successful and they have deep pockets and

Deep pockets it’s great to have a pocket with deep pockets.”

Indeed, Baars is heading to Toronto with the mindset that he can’t really lose.

“If we don’t get on, I’ll still have a successful business. If we do, it’s great. So it’s not the end of the world,” said Baars. “It’s going to be a good experience either way. I’m going to learn a lot just talking to those people so I’m really looking forward to it.

While Baars’s pitch will be taped on Thursday, it won’t be aired until the fall. Between the taping and the airing of the show, Baars will be prohibited from discussing the results of the show. He also won’t know when his episode will be shown until two weeks before it airs.

BORDER, from page 1 there and we couldn’t do a thing,” Philippson said.

Because of the distress building among those on the bus, Chilliwack resident Gerald Cairns finally called 911 but was told by the dispatcher that Abbotsford police could not help unless there was a criminal matter.

“Everybody was just afraid and intimidated,” Cairns told the Times.

“We know they have the jurisdiction and everything but with limits.”

After close to an hour on the bus, one woman nearly collapsed and was brought outside the bus.

Someone called 911 again and two ambulances and a fire truck were dispatched from Abbotsford.

A spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) told the Times that the bus driver was

Threatened with arrest

mistaken in his belief that the bus had to be turned off, but Walker said this has always been the policy as far as she knew.

CBSA spokesperson Faith St. John said the border was busy at the time and the entire time the seniors were stopped was a little more than 90 minutes, which included processing the travellers and dealing with the medical emergency.

“As a result of this incident, we are reviewing our internal procedures in order to eliminate the factors that contributed to the delay,” St. John said in an email statement.

“We make every effort to ensure that travellers do not face unnecessary delays at our border, while protecting the safety and security of Canadians.”

She added that the shift superintendent did get on the bus to apologize for the delay.

“We again extend our apologies to those passengers for the unnecessary delay to their return to Canada.”

In 10 years of working as a hostess on these bus trips, Walker said she had never had such a negative experience at the border.

“They have been rude; the Canadians have been known to not be the best,” she said.

“We were threatened that if we got out of the bus for fresh air that we would be arrested and handcuffed,” Philippson said. “We were not terrorists, we were senior citizens returning to Canada after a fun day at the casino in Washington.”

Whitecaps return

A

fter a four-year absence, some of the best women soccer players in North America will return to the Exhibition Stadium pitch this May to play a regular season game.

The Vancouver Whitecaps Women FC will take on the Colorado Rush May 27 at Exhibition. The teams both play in the United Soccer League W-League, the second-highest level of women’s soccer in North America, and feature several players who represent their country internationally.

The game marks the retur n of the Whitecaps to Chilliwack just as the club is

#5,!C5: &!C !:8 '7,A)C*( :7< C+!,5 7:5 :!=5 3 '7,A)C*(2

experiencing a surge of popularity thanks to the men’s entry into Major League Soccer.

The women, meanwhile, are playing their home games in smaller cities around the province.

“One of the things we like to do is connect with our supporters and fans and give the opportunity to young, aspiring female players to get a chance to see what high level soccer’s like,” explained Whitecaps Women FC coach Hubert Busby Jr. “To be able to go further into the Lower Mainland and the Valley is a great opportunity for us to do that.”

Here, Chilliwack FC will play the hosts and use proceeds from the game to support the Canadian Cancer Society and B.C. Cancer Foundation.

“The club has always been a great supporter of the Whitecaps FC,” said Chilliwack FC chair Andrea Laycock. Most recently, the Whitecaps Women squared off against another Colorado team, the Mile High Edge, in 2007.

That means Chilliwack FC can concentrate on its fundraising efforts. The Women Whitecaps will wear a special kit (soccer lingo for uniform) for the Chilliwack game, and most of the jerseys will go home with fans after a silent auction during the game.

Laycock hopes that Chilliwack footie fans will pack the Exhibition Stadium grandstand for what she believes will be a competitive, hard-fought game.

“I think they’re in for a good game. Anytime you can get a league game with any athletes in a national program . . . I think we’re going to be in for some real good soccer.”

Highest level

Unsurprisingly, Busby—whose own professional soccer career included a stint with the Whitecaps men in 2001—agrees.

“We’re looking at the highest level of soccer available in Canada,” he said, emphasizing the importance of giving aspiring soccer stars around the province the chance to see high-level football up close.

“I think it’s important as part of all players development to go and watch live games,” said Busby. “From a coaching standpoint, if coaches can bring their players out to watch live soccer, there’s nothing more exciting than that.” ◗ Tickets for the game cost $10, with proceeds going to the two cancer-fighting organizations.

Taking a natural approach to diapers

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Little Sebastien Sibley loves his cloth diaper and its great for the environment too.

This Saturday some of Chilliwack’s cutest bums will be at All Things Being Eco to participate in the Guinness World Records diaper changing challenge called The Great Cloth Diaper Change.More than 10,000 babies at 400 locations in 24 countries will take part in a simultaneous diaper challenge to celebrate Earth Day.Times reporter Paul J.Henderson will be there with his little one and store owner Donna Gumprich needs at least 25 bums for the local effort to count towards the Guinness record.Check out All Things Being Eco on Facebook for information on the event.World records aside, here’s naturopath Dr.Joanne Menard’s take on the natural approach to changing diapers.

CHANGING A DIAPER, NATURALLY

By Joanne Menard, B.Sc., N.D.

W

hen it comes to a new baby, changing diapers is probably the second-most frequent activity (next to nursing or feeding) that parent and baby participate in together.

A more natural approach to diaper care, which includes cloth diapers, natural baby wipes and homemade salves will inevitably prevent many of the rashes and discomforts that all parents want to avoid for their baby.

It’s Spring Cleaning Time: Don’t Know What to Do With Your Old Electronics? Recycle Them!

You may not be as organized as Martha Stewart (she has a three-page checklist), but if you’re like most of us, spring cleaning is a ritual not to be missed. It’s the one time a year we get really ruthless about cleaning up the dust and clearing out the clutter – except for our old electronics that is.

Our old TVs, computers, monitors, printers and fax machines tend to sit in our attics, basements and spare rooms year after year, either because we think we may need to use them again or because we don’t know where to get rid of them.

Well, if you haven’t used an electronic device in more than a year, you probably won’t use it again – ever. And if it’s still plugged in, it might even be costing you money just leaving it where it is.

Virtually all electronic devices – TVs, computers, printers, modems, DVD players, cell phone chargers and anything else with a clock, timer, adapter, memory or remote control – continue to draw power even when they’re not in use. “The extra TV you may have in your basement rec room for the kids, who never watch it, is actually costing you money every day,” says BC Hydro’s Kari Reid, Program Manager in Residential Marketing. “As long as that TV is plugged in, it’s using energy, whether it’s turned on or not. And that will add up on your electricity bills.”

So this spring, why not make it a clean sweep?

Get rid of all your old unused or broken electronics quickly and easily, but not in your local landfill.

“TVs, like computers and other electronics, have components that should be recycled,” says Kari. “The best thing is to take your unused

electronics to a Return-It™ Electronics recycling depot, where they will get broken down safely and properly.”

The Return-It™ Electronics recycling program is managed by Encorp Pacific (Canada) on behalf of the Electronics Stewardship Association of British Columbia. The ESABC established the program in 2007 (in addition to its Return-It™ Beverage and Milk Container recycling programs) to respond to the fast-growing issue of e-waste.

✔ Plug all your related electronics, like your computer, modem, monitor and printer, into a single power bar, then switch them all off at once when you’re not using them. ✔ Switch to a laptop. A typical laptop computer uses 53 kwh/year compared to a typical desktop and monitor that uses 215 kwh/yr. ✔ Unplug your cell phone and other chargers as soon as the battery is topped up. ✔ If you’re in the market for a new TV, look for one with the ENERGY STAR® label – it will use as much as 30 per cent less energy than a less-efficient model. Also remember that bigger is not always better: generally, the larger the TV, the more energy it uses. Make sure your new TV is the right size for your room by dividing the distance between where you’ll be sitting and the front of the screen by 2.5.

“New and better products keep coming on the market all the time,” says Kari, “and we’re snapping them up. Who doesn’t want a sleek new flat-screen TV? But some people are just throwing their out-dated electronics in the trash, or simply putting them in a drawer or a closet because they don’t know what else to do with them. Some people, too, are just moving them to another room where they stay plugged in but unused, which is just wasting energy. We want to see unused electronics unplugged, then disposed of properly.”

Once you’ve done that, says Kari, there are a number of other things you can do to reduce your energy use. For example:

“Remember, too, that it can take more electricity per year to keep your DVD player in standby mode than it actually uses playing DVDs,” says Kari. “Unplug it or turn it off at a power bar and you’ll save energy. And as I said before, get rid of your unused TV! If just one in 3 households in British Columbia recycled one unused television, it would save enough energy to provide all of Revelstoke with electricity for a year.”

School District No. 33 reducing its carbon footprint

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he Chilliwack school district’s carbon footprint is shrinking, but it will still pay for carbon offsets this year.

According to a recently completed Carbon Neutral Action Report (CNAR), the district’s gas bills and hydro bills dropped by $102,053 and $150,113, respectively, from 2009 to 2010.

While the improvement in natural gas consumption is most likely the result of mild weather, according to district energy manager George Pede, who prepared the report, the drop in hydro consumption is a promising sign.

“That’s good,”he said.“We’re reducing our usage, which also reduces our carbon offsets, and overall we’re looking pretty good.”

The district is required to complete a CNAR for the 2010 calendar year by the

end of this month as part of the province’s Greenhouse Reduction Targets Act and the Carbon Neutral Government Regulations.

According to the act, this is the first year school districts (and other government and public institutions) will be on the hook for carbon offset pay-

ments if they didn’t achieve carbon neutrality in 2010.

Despite the drop in utility usage, the Chilliwack district did not reach carbon neutrality

last year, but its carbon offset costs, calculated by Pede to be about $19,000 are also much lower than the $52,000 projected last spring.

“That’s really quite good when you think about the amount of carbon tax and materials that we use on a dayto-day basis,”said Pede.

Green ways to give back

M

any times, people who are passionate about a certain goal or ideal want to share their views with others. Individuals who have strong feelings about protecting the environment can share their enthusiasm through giving back.

Volunteerism is one of the ways to spread the message about environmental dangers and potential solutions. Here are some ideas for doing good in a green way: ◗ Start locally. Organize a few friends and start on a small scale, such as cleaning the streets of the neighborhood or petitioning for stronger penalties for the failure to recycle properly. ◗ Organize a weekly or monthly event. Beaches and waterways are areas that can quickly become fouled by trash and other debris.Water seems to be a collection point for items that wash into the system or are blown around. Schedule routine clean-up crews to clear rivers, streams and beaches of items that mar the beauty of these bodies of water. ◗ Hook up with an eco-friendly organization. Investigate the organizations that do their part toward protecting the environment. See if they accept volunteers to further their causes. ◗ Put your money where your heart is. Individuals who want to make a difference can donate funds to a specific cause. Or help solicit donations See GREEN, Page 17

CHANGE, from page 1 Here’s a step-by-step approach to natural diaper care for your baby that requires a little preparation,but isn’t complicated,and will leave you and your baby feeling happy and content in this most intimate and frequent of interactions.

Step 1: Wipe with water.

As parents,we all want to do what’s best for our baby’s skin.

The skin isn’t an impermeable barrier,as many would imagine, but has the ability to excrete sweat and toxins,as well as the ability to absorb anything that is rubbed on it,good or bad.

So you may want to rethink baby wipes—they can contain propylene glycol (better known as antifreeze),parabens (a hormone-disrupting chemical that’s used to scent baby wipes),and chlorine bleach (how else did they get to be so white?),which off-gases dioxins,another hormone disruptor.

Luckily,there are more natural, unscented wipes available now for when you are out and about, and nothing can beat simple water and washcloths at home (which are also better environmental choices than any oneuse wipe).Here are a few helpful tips for using plain old water and washcloths: • Keep a small thermos filled with warm water in the drawer of your change table (a thermos will keep the water warm for about five hours).The advantage of the warm water is that it will be less likely to irritate or startle a content baby (wouldn’t you prefer a warm washcloth on your skin over a cold,wet wipe?)

• If you are having a hard time preventing yeast-based diaper rashes,you can add one drop of neem oil (a natural anti-fungal herb) to about one cup of warm water.

• Dip a washcloth in the warm water to wipe baby’s bottom and use another clean washcloth to dry off.Having 40 baby washcloths on hand in a basket on or above your change table will be plenty for you to rotate through.Organic cotton or bamboo washcloths will be the softest on baby’s skin and won’t contain any pesticides.

• Then,give baby a minute or two of diaper-free time to further help prevent any diaper rashes.

Step 2: Use a homemade diaper salve.

Everyone wants to keep their baby’s bottom rash free.

But using vaseline as a barrier doesn’t make any sense—it’s exactly what it says it is—petroleum jelly.And many diaper ointments contain parabens, which,once absorbed through the skin,mimic estrogen in your baby’s body.

You can use the following homemade diaper salve to provide a barrier between your baby’s skin and a wet or soiled diaper.The calendula is soothing and healing to any irritated skin but won’t be sufficient enough if your baby has a full-blown diaper rash (a zinc-based ointment will be a better choice in this case or you may need an

5,000 diaper changes appropriate anti-fungal if it is a yeast-based rash).

Ingredients: • 1/4 cup beeswax (which you can purchase from one of our local honey farms) • 1/2 cup organic olive oil • 1 cup dried calendula flowers • Vitamin E oil Directions • Pour 1/2-cup of organic olive oil over a cup of dried calendula flowers and let sit in a mason jar away from sunlight for one week or longer (up to three months) • Cut the beeswax into pieces (about two cm long) • In a double boiler,heat beeswax and olive oil until the beeswax has all melted.Add a few drops of vitamin E oil to act as a preservative.

• Pour the warm liquid into small jars that have been sanitized in the dishwasher.It will then harden into a salve.It’s a good idea to use a small container (such as a lip balm jar) to keep in your diaper bag.

Step 3. Use Cloth Diapers.

In the first two years of your baby’s life you will be changing between 5,000 and 7,000 diapers.Approximately 85 per cent of Canadian parents use disposable diapers so that can easily add up to four million diapers ending up in Canadian landfills every day.The worst part is that research suggests that disposables can take somewhere between 200 and 500 years to biodegrade (so best-case scenario your great-great-greatgreat grandchild will be starting kindergarten by the time your baby’s first disposable diaper has decomposed).There are lots of cloth diaper options out there nowadays,including prefolds, all-in-one cloth diapers,organic cotton diapers,bamboo diapers; the list goes on.My personal choice has been the g-diaper which allows you the option of using either reusable cloth liners or a biodegradable liner that fully decomposes in 50-150 days (and which you can flush, compost or toss).Not every diaper will work for every baby, however,and you may need to try a few different types before finding that perfect leak-free fit.

There’s plenty of debate over whether cloth diapers are more environmentally friendly than disposable,but in the end,Environment Canada has recognized cloth as a superior choice to disposables and some researchers say they are up to 50 per cent more gentle on the environment than disposables.

Cloth diapers are also more breathable,made of natural fibres,and don’t contain any dioxins (which are carcinogenic and disrupt the endocrine system) or chemicals or perfumes like disposables do.And apparently,babies catch onto toilet training faster than they would if you were using disposable diapers (they are more motivated to use the potty and get out of diapers because they actually sense some moistness from the cloth against their bottoms).So

here are a few tips to make cloth diapers easy: • use flushable biodegradable liners between the cloth diaper and your baby’s bottom (especially around the time your baby poops).This will make clean up of soiled diapers much easier as you can pick up the liner and toss it (along with the poop) into the toilet where the poop belongs and it helps keep your cloth from accumulating tough stains.

CHANGE, from page 16 • On sunny days,hang your washed liners on the line outside to dry.You’ll save on your hydro bill by not using your dryer and the sun is an amazing natural alternative to bleach.

• Breastfeed.Apparently,the poop from a breastfed baby is less likely to stain than that from a formula-fed baby.

Step 4. The Ultimate Challenge: Go Diaperless.

Apparently,you can learn your baby’s cues for pee and poop and bring them to a potty before they eliminate.That’s definitely one way to keep any harmful chemicals away from your baby’s bottom and by far the most environmentally friendly and cheapest way.On a recent visit to Saltspring Island,I overheard one hippie mom at the farmer’s market who was nursing her baby in a sling all

the while serving wheatgrass shots saying“why spend two years teaching your baby to poop in a diaper and then suddenly expect them to go in a big scary toilet.It’s so much easier to start with the potty right off the bat.”Obviously this won’t suit everyone’s lifestyle but you can visit www.diaperfreebaby.org for more information if you think you’re up for it. ◗ Joanne Menard is a naturopathic doctor at the Sardis Naturopathic Medical Clinic.She has a special interest in women’s health and pre- and post-natal care.She is the mother of a 17-month-old girl,and together they are practising the art of natural diaper changing.For more information about Dr.Menard, visit www.JoanneMenardND.com.

McLELLAN, ARCHIE (Mac) March 19th 1926 – April 12th 2011

Celebrate all your family occasions in the

Archie McLellan lost his brave battle with cancer at the Cascade Hospice with his wife and daughter at his side. He was born in Wolseley, Saskatchewan on March 19th 1926.

He was a farm kid who joined the navy during WWII at the age of 16 serving for 3 years. In 1948, he joined the RCE and was posted to Chilliwack. Archie had 2 tours with the UN in Egypt and 1 tour in Germany. After his discharge from the military he worked in construction with Kel-Mor and Chilliwack Sand and Gravel. In 1950 he married Doreen (Micki) Bishop and they celebrated their 61st Wedding Anniversary on March 25th.

Arch was a “dyed in the wool” Vancouver Canuck fan and supported them for 40 years. We will always remember his cheering them on and how much he loved Trevor Linden. He was a true sportsman by nature. He played baseball for the Chilliwack Monarchs back in the 50s, he was a member of Meadowland Golf Club; was also a member of the “Hole in One” club at Kinkora Golf course. He loved to curl and had a life time membership at the Chilliwack Curling Club and played up to 3 years ago when his health began to fail. He was a 51 year member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 4.
