Things will get physical if contract not signed Five local farmers will block Spectra Energy in effort to protect their soil BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ight around the time corn farmer Ian Sparkes was getting ready to plant his iconic Chilliwack crop three years ago, natural gas giant Spectra Energy came on the land, dug up the soil in the rain and stayed for 35 days.

Because of the long-term damage that 2011 work caused, and the company’s refusal to sign a contract to protect against future damage, property owner Gord Mitchell said he and five other farmers along Spectra’s pipeline will physically block the company from doing planned construction this spring. “If the National Energy Board (NEB) isn’t going to protect our soil, then we have to protect our soil,” Mitchell told the Times Tuesday. “We will stop them from going on the land, physically stop them.” After the 2011 incident, Mitchell and other neighbouring farmers including Tom Baumann and Alf Kloot, formed the Fraser Valley Association of Pipeline Landowners (FVAPL) to stand up to Spectra. Spectra’s pipeline carries 60 per cent of the nat-

ural gas produced in British Columbia, according to Spectra’s vice-president of external relations Gary Weilinger. To meet safety standards, the company has been ordered by the NEB to replace three kilometres of its 30-inch pipeline through Chilliwack. A second, 36-inch pipe, that runs parallel will not be replaced because it was installed in 1972 and already meets the new standards. Both pipes run beneath approximately 20 private residential and farm properties as well as the parking lots of Superstore, Cottonwood Mall, Chilliwack Mall and Redline Water Sports. On Wednesday evening, Spectra representatives held an open house to talk about phase two of that pipeline replacement, the 600 metres

Nothing to hide Local teacher Malcolm James feels putting the burden on those with similar gender and birth dates as sex offenders to get fingerprinted is both costly and a violation of civil and human rights

f longtime Chilliwack teacher Malcolm James wants to keep his job, he’s going to have to go down to the Chilliwack RCMP detachment and get his fingerprints taken. He’ll have to line up between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on a school day, and at the end of it all, he’ll have to shell out $80 of his own money. What’s his crime? He shares a birthdate and gender with a pardoned sex offender. He’s not alone. Since the RCMP changed its policy on

criminal record checks in July 2010 to weed out pardoned sex offenders who might have changed their names, everyone who works with children, the elderly or the disabled has been subject to a fingerprinting requirement if they share a birthdate and gender with a pardoned sex offender. Up until three weeks, however, B.C. teachers seemed to have been largely exempt. The sudden change, implemented by the province’s Criminal Records Review Program in November, has taken them by surprise. See FINGERPRINTS, Page 23

Under pressure, Strahl resigns post

Pair of public forums will discuss crime and safety issues

Chilliwack residents are invited to a public forum on crime and safety scheduled for Feb. 5 between 8 a.m. and noon at Evergreen Hall. The event is the first of five weekly forums to update the city’s 2011 Healthier Community Strategic Action Plan. The purpose of the forums is to update the community on the implementation of the plan and to engage community partners in identifying emerging needs, re-assessing the goals, and identifying collaborative opportunities to address issues related to: crime and public safety (Feb. 5); mental health and substance abuse (Feb. 12); homelessness and affordable housing (Feb. 19); and primary health care (Feb. 26). On March 12 there will be a meeting entitled “Time For Action.” To find out more and to register, email healthiercommunity@chilliwack.com or call Darcie Prokop at 604-793-2906.

hree days before Parliament was set to resume—when the Harper government would surely have faced tough questions— former Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Chuck Strahl resigned as chair of Canada’s spy agency watchdog. Strahl faced increasing pressure and allegations of conflict of interest as he lobbied on behalf of Enbridge Northern Gateway while serving as chair of the non-partisan Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC), the body that oversees the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). In a letter of resignation to Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued Friday, Strahl did not admit any conflict of interest, nor did he concede his actions were an ethics violation.

ligence Review Committee, there will be no gap in the review of CSIS’s activities or in addressing complaints from the public. “I would like to extend my personal best wishes to Chuck in all of his future endeavours.” The main criticism was that CSIS had been found to be spying on anti-oil sands activists and sharing the information with Enbridge. Steve Anderson, executive director of openmedia.ca, responded to the announcement with the suggestion that CSIS needs an overhaul. “Today’s news is welcome, because all of us can agree that publicly funded government watchdogs should not be employed by those connected to the agencies they are overseeing,” Anderson said in a statement. “In this case, there See STRAHL, Page 22

Correction In the Jan. 23 Times article “New plant could stop incinerator,” Belkorp vice-president Russ Black was quoted as saying “If we were to build three of these you would send more inert material to landfill than in an incineration scheme.” That should have read “. . . less inert material to landfill.” The same article said Belkorp’s proposed plant could get 30 per cent of recyclables out of the last 30 per cent of waste sent to landfill. Black said the number is actually 60 per cent of the last 30 per cent.

Dr. Lenore Newman features ALR’s 40th Dr. Lenore Newman talks about the impact of the aLR as part of the University Lecture series at UFV on Wed, Feb 5, at 4 pm in the lecture theatre (B101) on the abbotsford campus. the lecture, titled ALR at 40: Land Loss and Fragmentation in the Fraser River Basin and presented by the UFV Office of Research, is free and the public is welcome.

Professional Cook apprenticeship:

Earls cook Kelly Barber is one of many professionals looking to increase experience and earnings with UFV’s Professional Cook Apprenticeship program.

Canada’s Labour Force Survey, employment in all of the trade occupations is expected to enjoy yearly growth up to 2020, with the strongest growth expected from chefs and cooks. To diversify employment opportunities, students can combine their skills as a culinary artist with UFV’s Hospitality Event Planning certificate. Restaurant management and food services skills combined with tourism and hospitality training are assets for chefs who want to open their own establishment or be promoted to management positions.

Mobile Crane Operator: Don’t want an office job, but would like an above-average salary? In eight weeks, quality candidates can become qualified crane operators through UFV’s new Mobile Crane Operator program. Working directly with Eagle West Cranes, students will enjoy hands-on training under the watchful eye of respected industry professional Brad Paddock. “It’s a great industry for people who are not afraid to take risks, but are still very aware of the limits of their equipment and abilities,” says Eagle West’s Gary Davey.

Crane operators often enjoy tactile learning and working with their hands. Jobs can be as diverse as lifting for powerline companies, lumber yards, construction sites, or mines. “Basically any company that’s got to get something in the air,” Davey says. Crane operators were a huge part of the recent Port Mann Bridge project. Like transport truck drivers, crane operators can either work as independent contractors or join a company. UFV’s eight-week Crane Operator program (for Stiff Boom 40 tonnes & under) is an entry point into the profession, offering Level B and A training in fourweek shifts beginning March 3. Upon passing the assessment, students become a certified Stiff Boom 40 Tonnes and Under Level A crane operator (no supervision restrictions).

Career outlook According to the BC Trades Outlook 2010-2020, the demand for skilled trade workers will outpace the number of workers by 2016. As key sectors such as infrastructure, oil, gas, and mining expand in the next decade, the need for crane operators will continue to grow. In addition, large numbers of

older workers will retire, opening up opportunities for trained crane operators. The highest average trades wage earners include electricians ($25.26), crane operators ($24.61) and plumbers ($24.10). For more, see goo.gl/a2xbmE.

Powerline technician: Take charge of your future with UFV’s Powerline Technician (PLT) training — a pre-apprenticeship program providing basic skills necessary to enter the workplace as a powerline worker. “It’s a great career for people who love the outdoors and like to travel,” says Kerry Van Sickle of Electrical Energy Training Group, UFV’s highly regarded partner for this new program. Powerline technicians build and maintain overhead and underground power transmission and distribution systems, erect and maintain electrical poles, towers, guy wires, and install or repair live-line wiring. People in this field are physically fit and enjoy the challenge of working on ladders, in hydraulic buckets, or other aerial devices. “Powerline technicians find the career rewarding, especially knowing they’re providing an important service to the community,” Van Sickle says,

adding, “People succeeding in this field usually have good manual dexterity, spatial perception, strong motor coordination, and they’re detail and object-oriented.” Beginning March 3, UFV’s 12-week PLT training includes activities and core skills required for a Level 1 powerline technician, and includes theory and outdoor performance-based exercises. Hands-on experience is delivered in collaboration with highly experienced instructors from Electrical Industry Training Institute (EITI Global). During the program’s last week, an on-site job fair will provide students with the opportunity to meet employers, make connections, and demonstrate skills.

Career outlook According to workbc.ca, the wage for a powerline technician can reach $80,500–$95,000. The estimated demand for workers in B.C. is 24,500, up from 23,100 in 2010. Students who complete the UFV Powerline Technician foundation program can pursue apprenticeships with an electrical utility or electrical contractor company. For more, see goo.gl/Ib630r.

Culinary arts professionals work anywhere from cruise ships to exclusive resorts; from safari tours to movie sets; or from oil drilling platforms to mountain park lodges, but often not without obtaining Red Seal endorsement governed by Canada’s Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program. And that’s where UFV’s Professional Cook Apprenticeship program comes in. Line cooks looking for more money, responsibility, and job opportunities must first work their way through the Red Seal apprentice program — the first 15-week section of which is running in the Trades and Technology Centre at UFV’s Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park. “It’s a huge part of job advancement and increased pay within the industry,” says UFV instructor chef David Bensmiller. As an added bonus, students can apply for a $1,000 grant following course completion. “Essentially it pays for itself,” Bensmiller says. (Note: Professional Cook Apprenticeship is different than UFV’s 39-week Culinary Arts program that trains students from the ground up.) Upon successful completion of all Professional Cook requirements, students can write Professional Cook Certificate of Qualification exams. After that, it’s only a matter of enjoying just desserts.

WISDOM TEETH The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in a space that should hold only 28 teeth. These four other teeth are your third molars, also known as “wisdom teeth.” Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth, usually by the age of 18. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially

emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. When they are partially erupted, the opening around the teeth allows bacteria to grow and will eventually cause an infection. In most cases, the removal of wisdom teeth is performed under local anesthesia, laughing gas (nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia) or general anesthesia. Our services are provided in an environment of optimum safety that utilizes modern monitoring equipment and staff who are experienced in anesthesia techniques.

hanks to Paul Henderson for a comprehensive and interesting article in the Jan. 23 edition of the Chilliwack Times. I appreciated the detailed reporting and have enjoyed his work on the issue to date. I have just one minor quibble, concerning the establishment of the citizens’ group, ACT Chilliwack. The establishment of ACT was not, in fact, precipitated by the rezoning controversy concerning the waste facility. While ACT Chilliwack hosted Glen Thompson at its inaugural meeting in order to learn more about the issue, the group does not exist solely to address it. ACT Chilliwack’s primary focus, as I have made clear in prior correspondence with the media, is constructive community engagement toward a more robust local democracy. I think Mayor Sharon Gaetz put it most eloquently in a recent interview when she said: “Refrain from being an armchair quarterback and eliminate the phrase ‘someone should’ from your vocabulary.” This is ACT’s raison d’etre, in a nutshell. We are people who feel a need to get out of our armchairs and be the “someones” who “should.” Since returning home to Chilliwack three years ago, I’ve seen quite a ruckus kicked up about a storefront being painted the

JENNIFER WOODRUFF

Be Our Guest “wrong” colour. I’ve sadly witnessed the demolition of the iconic and beloved Paramount theatre (at a cost in excess of that projected for renovation and not “free” but on the city’s dime, via CEPCO). I’ve seen Chilliwack shamed by the second lowest voter turnout in a civic election in all of British Columbia and (I would argue) humiliated by a turnout just over a snivelling and pathetic two per cent for a school board byelection. What I perceived to be missing from all the foregoing was not so much divergent voices (the most encouraging indication of a living and healthy democracy), for they were present. Rather, what I perceived to be missing was a framework for the messages those voices were bearing. Up these voices would rise and just as rapidly . . . dissipate, for there was no structure in which they might flourish and take their place in the civic complex as valid commentary which demanded a response. I hear so many of my neighbours lament what they perceive to be local government which is out

of touch with them and yet, they seem to be too desperately demotivated to take responsibility for their own disengagement. But who is giving them a reason to do so? Who is reminding them of the power of their franchise, or the resonance of their voices? I believe ACT Chilliwack has the potential to fill a need in this community: a need for the sort of focus that goes beyond random kvetching; a structure that civilizes the voice in the wilderness. ACT was formed for the sake of getting people out of their armchairs and inspiring them to run like hell down the field with the ball to spike that sucker into the end zone. We have a wonderful city in Chilliwack. We have amazing resources and people. What we need to become all that we dream of being, is a citizenry that stands up to be counted for love of this place. That means an engaged citizenry, invested in a living, breathing democracy of which they are stewards and full participants. These are the reasons ACT Chilliwack was formed. ◗ Jennifer recently returned to her home town of Chilliwack, after many years spent in Vancouver, Europe and the Middle East.

new product has hit store shelves with the potential to do great harm. Electronic nicotine-free cigarette-style vaporizers are designed to give smokers the pleasure and feeling of smoking a cigarette, without the nicotine and carcinogenic smoke. Indeed, for many, these products may be useful in helping them to quit smoking by providing a healthier substitute. But since the product doesn’t contain nicotine and smoke, it is currently unregulated, and legal to sell to minors. This is problematic, because while e-cigarettes may be nicotine- and smoke-free, their use by children normalizes and glamourizes tobacco, and could encourage them to take up smoking real cigarettes. Many electronic cigarettes come in fruity flavours, which seem to be geared specifically for children. In 2010, Health Canada made it illegal for retailers to sell tobacco products flavoured with vanilla, banana, cherry or other taste sensations that may appeal to children. No restriction applies to e-cigarettes, however. And it doesn’t make sense to expect shop owners to take it upon themselves to restrict the sale of a legal product out of some moral duty we may think they should have to the community. They are in business to do business, and will operate within the bounds of the law. Which is why the laws need to change, with the sale of these products restricted to adults only. Some jurisdictions are already placing restrictions on their use. Nova Scotia’s health ministry recently proposed banning e-cigarettes from bars and restaurants, whether the devices contain nicotine or not. This week, Fraser Health chief medical health officer Paul Van Buynder suggested non-nicotine flavoured e-cigarette vaporizers could be a gateway to smoking tobacco, and thus should be restricted. It’s time the provincial government caught up to this new technology, and ensure it stays out of the hands of children.

Location simply not appropriate Editor: The location of the proposed hazardous waste plant in the floodplains of Chilliwack will be a huge problem for our water in the Fraser River. For years people have been lowering the quality of our water, dumping garbage, harmful chemicals, and even raw sewage into our river. All of this resulting in unsuitable

students that depend on busing and safety is the number one priority. At least twice a day, (speaking on behalf of my dad who is a bus driver in the Chilliwack school system) vehicles are driving through the buses red lights. These red lights are no different than a stop sign, or lights at an intersection. This rule to stop for the students is being compromised for the sake of drivers being impatient, or simply not caring. This can no longer be overlooked. If a driver runs the red lights, this poses a major safety hazard because the students could be injured or killed. The bus driver will try to write down the licence plate number and any other information about the vehicle running the red lights, then he/she will submit this report for a ticket to be issued by the RCMP. The problem isn’t drivers getting fined, it’s that the student’s lives are being threatened. This escalating problem is no different than drinking and driving; they both put innocent people’s lives at risk because of careless notations and behaviours. Drivers must consider the busing rules because they are there purposely for the students’ safety, not for inconvenience. Christine Williams Chilliwack

Editor: Re: The development of hazardous waste facilities along the Fraser River: If you scratch around a bit in our politicians’ local bed, what might you find? This story shows just how/ why politicians fail their constituents at the most fundamental levels of good governance. At issue is an industrial proponent that wants to build a hazardous waste facility next to the Fraser River, the City of Chilliwack which has greenlighted the proposal versus the legitimate opposition from First Nations and constituents with a long view of sustainable development that includes the environmental integrity of an important B.C. river. Chilliwack Times reporter Paul Henderson lays out just how Chilliwack’s mayor, Sharon Gaetz, (et al) circumvent due process when it suits them. What Chilliwack’s Gaetz and company are saying is becoming painfully familiar: Their election is a mandate to govern as they wish and gives them licence to manage community engagement via administrative cattle shoots. When constituents object, they’re informed to vote for someone else at the next election. Of course, some people take issue with being jacked out of the local political process for three years with their only option being to choose which tyrant they want to dictate their lives for next three years. Aggravating that dysfunctional process is the fact that that cosmetically dolled up piggish version of democracy is made to look like due process when, in fact, it’s nothing more than a prosthetic grin designed to win the next election. We all know governments have the power to make discretionary decisions. An application for a hazardous waste facility in a bad location does not warrant the same review as a restaurant application. Henderson’s excellent article (Times, Jan. 23) pulls down Gaetz’s prosthetic grin to show the pimpled disfigurations driving this issue. Gaetz and company should be ashamed, but . . . .

Faith Today BY REV. WILLEM H. VAN DE WALL Cooke’s Presbyterian Church

few weeks ago I saw four businessmen at a table in a restaurant with their heads bowed down. I thought by myself, “You don’t see it often that professional people say grace publicly before they have their meal.” But, as I glanced over a few minutes later, their heads were still bowed down. Then I realized—they weren’t praying, they were texting. Each person was so occupied with his own thing; their schedules swallowed them up in something so important that the person next to

CHILLIWACK TIMES

Using our time God’s way when we make decisions about planning our days, we need to answer: “What is the wise thing to do in that situation? And what would it mean to make the most of the opportunities, we are given?” Jesus Christ had to make difficult decisions about how He would spend His limited time on Earth. When we think about it, His ministry lasted only three years and there was so much He accomplished. He was a role model as someone who never

But then he noticed a brass plate down below with the inscription “Time—man’s greatest enemy.” The Apostle Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus, “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.” (Ephesians 5:15–16) To consider the apostle’s advice

Parents don’t even notice their children as they come from work and rush down the hallway to change for another appointment. And the children get lost between school, sports practices or cultural activities. The evangelist Dwight L. Moody once saw a beautiful antique grand-

had an idle moment. Surely Paul must have had his Lord in mind when he wrote these important words, “. . . making the most of every opportunity.” What we need to appreciate is that Jesus was focused on what He wanted to accomplish in the time and day, He had. In the same way we have to take the time to discover what things are important to God by reading the Word He gave us. We must also invest time meditating on what those things mean in our everyday lives. Then, the next time

had run as fast as they could to her apartment. Nadin—smelling of pepper spray—met up with them minutes later, she said. All four members of the group went to the police about a week later, she said, motivated by an account of the stabbing in the local newspaper. In handing down his decision, McEwan said putting a “fine point” on this kind of altercation was difficult. “The court has got to be mindful that it cannot be sanctioning the use of a knife every time a fist fight appears to be about to occur,” he said. But he was satisfied, he said, that Dannes had actually been the “essential aggressor” in the altercation and that the case therefore came down to whether Nadin stabbing Dannes was a reasonable response to the threat he posed. Crown counsel Grant Lindsay argued it wasn’t, since Dannes never touched or even threatened

FAITH TODAY, from page 10

the chaos of urgency tries to dictate our next action, we can press pause. Having already thought about which things are most important, we’ll be able to make intentional decisions. In another letter from Paul, in Colossians 3:17, he suggested, “Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” When we focus on the things we believe are important to God, we live differently. We don’t make decisions based on our feelings or selfish ambitions. Instead, we tend to make decisions for the work of God, rather than to put our own needs first. When we can truly accomplish this, we succeed to break out of the deadly routines we set for ourselves— getting up, getting ready for school or work, getting back home, preparing for the next day, and so the routine is repeated day after day. No, by using our time God’s way, we live

Pepper sprayed Nadin verbally. Dannes was unarmed, Lindsay argued, and was encumbered by a paper bag with two beers in it and his small dog on a leash when he approached Nadin. He said a punch, a push or even a kick might have been reasonable steps to repel Dannes if he seemed menacing. “But taking a knife and stabbing him was clearly out of proportion . . . .” McEwan disagreed. Coupled with Dannes’s aggressive behaviour and the fact that he was a stranger to Nadin, McEwan said there was evidence Nadin thought Dannes had a gun. “That was not a fact, but it is some evidence of what was clearly a rather heightened emotional moment of an apprehension of serious bodily harm.”

Seize the day with a purpose and we accomplish what He wants us to accomplish. You see, so many people will look back upon their lives and say, “I worked so hard and I was so busy, but I can’t show too much I accomplish.” Let’s make the Latin phrase, “Carpe Diem” the motto of our lives. It means “Seize the day.” For each day we are given, we have to make the most. A wise man once said, “Live today as if it is your last day.” Time is precious—let’s make the most of it—for ourselves as individuals, for our families, for our churches, for our careers and for the world. ◗ Rev.

The dates for the showcase are tentatively set for Sept. 5 to 7 but will be confirmed in coming months.

Bright lights Chiefs finding the net more often as of late, but still not winning games West Kelowna Chilliwack Langley Chilliwack (Overtime)

7 7 5 4

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

f we followed the old adage that if you can’t say anything good, you shouldn’t say anything at all, these pages would be pretty empty this hockey season. So let’s start with a list of the positives from last weekend’s two Chilliwack Chiefs games where they lost 5-4 in overtime Friday to the Langley Rivermen and then tied 7-7 Sunday with the West Kelowna Warriors. Frankly, there were a ton of bright lights from the weekend. To start with teamwise, even making it to overtime with Langley, the top team in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) with a 30-12-2-5 record, is an accomplishment for the 10-31-2-4 Chiefs. And keeping up in what amounted to a shootout—each team scoring a converted touchdown—with the Warriors, the fifth team in the league with a 28-12-3-2 record, wasn’t too shabby either. The Chiefs managed 11 goals in 61 shots over two games. Offensively, it’s hard to say anything bad about a team scoring on 18 per cent of its shots. Best of all, the fans at Langley Events Centre and Prospera Centre

Ken Goudswaard/TIMES

Chiefs forward Mitchell Plevy drives towards the net during action Sunday against the West Kelowna Warriors. were treated to exciting and entertaining hockey by the Chiefs and their counterparts. The Chiefs showed a stunning staying power on Sunday despite a late collapse. Down 5-2 just two minutes into the second period could deflate the best of teams but Chilliwack stayed on target, battled hard and scored five straight goals culminating with Jake Hand’s 11th at 17:33 of the third. If not for Warrior David Pope’s two goals in the last minute, including the tying goal with eight seconds to play, the Chiefs would have had a proud victory. As for individual bright lights, goalie Spencer Tremblay made 39 saves and the goaltending tandem of Tremblay and Josh Halpenny combined to stop 48 shots on Sunday. Sure, the team lost Friday but at least Tremblay can say he had a save percentage of .886, slightly better than Rivermen keeper Brock Cross-

thwaite’s .862. As for skaters, in Langley on Friday Jaret Babych had two assists and the team continues to get goal scoring from across the board. The team is struggling enough to have to rely on two or three goal scorers. Zach Diamontoni, Andrew Silard, Hand and Kyle Westeringh lit the red light on Friday. Then on Sunday, new team captain Tanner Cochrane led the way with a hat trick giving him 10 points in just 12 games played this season. The rest of the scoring was again spread around with Hand, Westeringh, Blake Gober and 16-year-old Jordan Kawaguchi adding goals of their own. Rookie defenceman Carter Cochrane scored two assists on the weekend keeping him atop of team scoring with 13 goals and 24 assists. Behind him is assistant captain Mathieu Tibbet with 18 goals and

18 assists. Games like these give scouts, coaches and fans alike a taste of the potential this team with 11 rookies has . . . at least for next year. Now for the bad news: The team did lose one and tie one despite scoring 11 goals. The sieve-like defence continues as the boys at the back allowed 99 shots in two games. Simply put that is way too many. And while the lingering defensive woes makes it hard to ever point a finger at goaltending, Tremblay does continue to play hot and cold. He had a decent performance in Friday’s effort followed by a tough Sunday where he allowed five goals in the first 22:26. The Chiefs are 14 points out of a playoff spot behind the Surrey Eagles. They face the Eagles in Surrey tomorrow, Jan. 31, and again back at Prospera Centre 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 1.

ith six games left in the regular season, the coach of the Sardis secondary senior boys basketball team is looking to light a fire under his team in time for playoffs. Arguably the best high school boys basketball team in Chilliwack’s history, this year’s Falcons have earned a lot of respect for their skill and commitment. They’ve hovered around seventh place on the province’s top-10 list all season and proved they can knock off teams above them. But that won’t be enough to bring home a quad-A provincial championship banner (the team’s audacious goal this year), and it won’t even guarantee them passage through what promises to be an insanely competitive Fraser Valley

The Falcons, currently second behind undefeated Walnut Grove in Fraser Valley East, now have six league games left to get used to digging deep every game. Their goal is to knock the Gators out of top spot and earn an easier path through the Fraser Valleys. To do that and eventually have a shot at a provincial banner, Graves knows he’s going to have to push his boys out of their comfort zones. “I always have to remind myself they’re 16- and 17-year-old kids, and they have a lot of stuff going on in their lives, but to be a provincial champion, 16- and 17-year-old kids have done it in the past, and that’s what we’re going to have to strive for in the next month and a half.” ◗ The Falcons next home game is tonight (Thursday) against W.J. Mouat. Tip off is at 8 p.m. For schedules and scores, visit www. bcboysbasketball.com.

Last weekend, the Falcons took third at a Vancouver College tournament, winning 68-62 over Walnut Grove, a team that has spent a fair bit of time ranked number one this season. It was the first time Sardis had beaten the Gators in Graves’s five years of coaching the team, but the reason the Falcons had found themselves in the consolation final in the first place was that they’d been outworked by Terry Fox the night before, according to Graves. “Fox just came in, and two or three of their players just pushed us around and just bullied us,” he said, “and we didn’t respond and we looked scared out there.” And on Monday, Walnut Grove— among the hardest-working teams in the league, according to Graves— exacted revenge for the weekend tournament loss by beating Sardis 59-53 in league play.

Championships this year. Six teams will advance, but eight Fraser Valley teams are currently crowded onto the province’s top-10 rankings, and three more are snapping at their heels from the honourable-mentions list. “It’s going to be a dog fight for sure,” coach Kyle Graves said. “In past year’s if you were considered top 17, you were pretty much guaranteed a spot to provincials.” The team has put in the work at practice, Graves said, and has the talent to go all the way. What’s missing, or at least hit-and-miss, is desire and intensity during games. “That’s a thing we’ve struggled with for the last couple years,” Graves said. “Sometimes guys rely on their skill too much and don’t work hard for every possession. You just have to constantly remind them and demand that they work hard for all 40 minutes.”

News STRAHL, from page 3

was a clear conflict of interest given that CSIS has been asked to aid the oil industry in monitoring environmentalists.” NDP MP and house leader Nathan Cullen called Strahl’s actions “brutal.” “How is it the Conservatives believe that spying on Canadians who oppose bad pipelines is OK,” Cullen said. “Then having the chair of the ‘watchdog’ for that same spy agency lobby for that same bad pipeline company? Brutal.” A handful of local residents gathered on Jan. 9 in front of Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl’s Vedder Road constituency office to protest the latest controversy. The protest was led by Agassiz resident David Hersanko who later went into the office to present Mark Strahl with a letter urging him to protest his father’s actions with Enbridge and SIRC. At that time protesters were asked why Mark Strahl’s office was a target for something to do with Chuck Strahl. The circle of connection was completed last week as it was revealed that Mark

Protested outside local MP’s office Strahl’s wife holds, or at least held, a “nominal interest” in Chuck Strahl Consulting. And, as reported by the Vancouver Observer, the federal lobbyist registry showed that Mark Strahl was formally lobbied by Enbridge three times from November 2011 to November 2012. In Mark Strahl’s disclosure summary dated June 7, 2013, he declares his wife’s nominal interest in his father’s consulting firm. A Dec. 19, 2013 declaration, which supersedes the prior one, shows no such interest. Vancouver Observer correspondent Matthew Millar has called this Dec. 19 declaration “backdated,” and says it was changed some time after Jan. 14. Chuck Strahl criticized the Vancouver Observer,which broke the story, for being aggressively “anti-pipeline” and he slammed Cullen for making political hay of the matter.

FINGERPRINTS, from page 1

‘A real bit of a nightmare’

With no warning from the school district or his union, James received an imposing five-page letter from the B.C. Ministry of Justice this month telling him to get fingerprinted within two weeks. “It’s quite intimidating to open that up,” he said. “At first I was shocked. It takes several readings to get through. I thought, on my first couple of readings, and so did my wife, that there was somebody who had my name, my gender and my date of birth.” Since James had recently lost his wallet, he was worried someone might have stolen his identity. Other local teachers, upon opening similar letters, have at first thought someone was accusing them of being pardoned sexual offenders, according Chilliwack Teachers’ Association president Clint Johnston, who has heard from about 10 local teachers who have been flagged. “It’s a real bit of a nightmare,” he told the Times. James called the fingerprinting requirement a violation civil and human rights and said the whole thing reminded him of a book he’d read lately by the American ambassador to Germany during the rise of the Nazi party. “It’s chilling the similarities that I see,” he said. He said he’s all for protecting kids from sex criminals, but—as a teacher who has been with the Chilliwack district for 20-odd years and undergone numerous criminal record checks—the district and government know who he is. “I don’t see why I should be selected out to be scrutinized in this way,” he said. “They’ve scrutinized my background a million times for my various positions throughout the years.” The icing on the cake, for James, is that he has to pay for the indignity of being fingerprinted out of his own pocket. “All costs associated with fingerprinting and analysis are the responsibility of the applicant and will not be reimbursed by the Ministry of Justice, Criminal Records Review Program,” states a form in his Ministry of Justice package. Fingerprinting is also only available at the RCMP detachment from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and teachers have said lineups make it near impossible to fit it in on their lunch breaks. “One guy, it took him six tries, literally, because of the line . . . He’s obviously incredibly frustrated,” said Johnston. James doesn’t think he should have to pay just because his gender and birthdate randomly correlate with that of a pardoned sex offender. His union agrees, and the CTA has approached the district about covering the costs of fingerprinting and for substitute teachers to cover flagged teachers caught in lineups. District officials have yet to formulate a response. “We are in the process of exploring options to ease the

impact of this new change,” human resources director Maureen Carradice told the Times in an email. “We are not able to provide details of those options because we are in the very early stages of this process.” She also said the procedure for criminal record checks is between individual teaching certificate holders and the province’s Teacher Regulation Branch (TRB). “Any failure to comply with the CRC [criminal record check] processes will be between the

teacher and the TRB,” Carradice said. The Chilliwack Board of Education, meanwhile, declined to weigh in on teachers’ concerns about fingerprinting. “This is strictly an RCMP and a federal government matter with the department of justice, and that supersedes all our jurisdiction,” chair Walt Krahn told the Times. “Because this is something that is strictly out of our realm of governance, we cannot in any way take a position at this point.”

will be living with for the rest of their lives and affecting them forever. Water contamination is becoming such a huge worldwide problem and is that really what we want for our city? We have some of the best water around, no one wants to see it contaminated. Why not move the location of this recycle plant? Why not move it further away to an area where there are no rivers, lakes, or streams to be damaged? Why not come up with a much more suitable solution without it contaminating our air and water. We have enough pollution drifting in from Vancouver, why add to it with more chemical waste? Emily Clarke Chilliwack

Floodplain also wrong location

Letters Regional District because it would pollute the Fraser Valley airshed, that same degree of concern is not being extended to protecting the Fraser River watershed. Both airshed and watershed are crucial factors in maintaining what most people have come to believe in these parts of the valley as the best place to live a healthy life in magnificent surroundings. As a community, it is our responsibility to make sure that both our airshed and watershed remain as unpolluted as possible. Locating a hazardous waste remediation and holding facility in an eco-sensitive area, which is also a floodplain and an important watershed, in my

Editor: If it’s unsafe to build houses in a floodplain then it sure is unsafe to recycle high volumes of toxic and hazardous materials, like PCBs and mercury, in a floodplain. The problem with the proposed hazardous waste recycling plant is the location. With its current location proposed along Cannor Road, it would be 100 to 200 metres from one of British Columbia’s major rivers, the Fraser River. British Columbia prides itself on its salmon and its water. This recycling plant, at this location, would pose a huge threat to our river. You would think that our current city councillors, who were greatly opposed to the chlorination of our water, would be opposed to something that actually creates a risk for our water; considering they can actually do something about this hazardous waste recycling plant. Instead, the application has already received three readings and was unanimously approved by Chilliwack council. With more than 150 people present at Evergreen Hall,on a recent Saturday, and representatives from 17 different groups who oppose the rezoning, it’s clear that our city councillors need to rethink their decision. Move the location and provide a full environmental assessment. After all, shortterm thinking creates longterm problems. Brenda Brickwood Chilliwack

Light, not stop sign, is needed Editor: My brother was nearly hit by a car not long ago and it really got me thinking.

The intersection at Watson and Tyson road needs a light not just a stop sign. My brother was walking to Mount Slesse middle school, skateboard in hand, on his two-minute journey down the street. He starts across the intersection and a car comes speeding around the corner nearly hitting my brother and just continuing on down the road. Since then now my brother attends a different school so I’m not speaking for him anymore but now for all the kids that attend Mount Slesse making it a safer place to walk because I know more than a few parents won’t let their kids walk to school because they don’t want them crossing that intersection. It would help control the traffic as well. I’ve seen that intersection backed up all the way to South Sumas during

the morning rush hour quite regularly. A roundabout will just make things worse. Randy McColm Sardis

Poor planning by city staff Editor: I am writing in regards to the Tyson/Watson intersection and the safety of not only the cars and cyclists passing through, but also children walking to and from school. I feel the danger is mainly caused by the poor planning of the city in which the Evans Road overpass had no prior planning leading to Tyson Road and its intersections. The flow of traffic streaming from the overpass has created major traffic problems through the residential area, with numerous four-way stops

and a school zone, all leading to a university campus. According to the local paper, efforts have already been made to solve the problem with a roundabout. This should have been planned along with the creation of the overpass. The concept is also not a safe alternative because roundabouts are designed for traffic, not pedestrian, use, especially in a school-zone area. There also is a poor understanding of the usage of a traffic circle in Chilliwack. The safer alternative to be placed at the Tyson/Watson intersection would be a multiple-lane intersection with light and crosswalk for students to get to school. A pedestrian overpass would also be a safer alternative, although not as practical. Eden Gustafson Chilliwack

Council acting hypocritically Editor: There is a glaring irony in the city’s efforts to accommodate the siting of a hazardous waste plant and transfer depot for hazardous waste alongside the Fraser River. While city hall, through the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD), is adamant that no garbage incinerator should be built within the Greater Vancouver

opinion, is heading for disaster not just for now, but for generations to come. Our elected officials and staff at city hall must show more environmental stewardship towards the river because that is the legacy their term of mandate will leave behind. Airshed and watershed cannot be revived once their environmental integrity is depleted. By all means, assist Aevitas to locate somewhere else—just not 200 metres from the Fraser River, or anywhere else in the watershed. Ann Muehlebach Chilliwack

News SPECTRA, from page 1 through the commercial area. This was always scheduled for 2014, but the stretch under farmland to the east was planned for last year. Opposition by FVAPL was successful in delaying phase one. In an interview with the Times on Monday, Weilinger said the company has suggested a facilitator be brought in to deal with the FVAPL “to make sure we take the emotion out of this and make sure we are looking at the facts.” Spectra’s position is that the lease on the land across which the pipeline runs constitutes a contract, one that allows them on the land to do the replacement work. But Mitchell says in the case of his farm, Greenarch Farms Ltd., the land on which Sparkes grows his corn every year, Spectra hasn’t compensated them for the damages to the soil and the crop loss from 2011. “It says right in the lease agreement they must compensate,” Mitchell said. “Therefore the contract has been breached. “The soil is still damaged now. . . . We are looking at it as probably going to be at least 10 years before we get some production out of that land again.”

Never compensated Weilinger has not conceded damage was done although the company admits they weren’t perfect. “I . . . made it clear to Mr. Mitchell that based on soil analysis work that we did, that emergency dig in 2011 could have been done better,” Weilinger said. Mitchell called that an understatement and said a report done by Zbeetnoff Agro-Environmental Consulting hired by Spectra illustrated there had been “egregious damage” to the soil. Asked about the “unreasonable roadblocks” the company was putting up, Weilinger said the half dozen farmers who formed the FVAPL don’t represent everyone. “It is worth noting that there are as many land2012 TOYOTA owners that are as affected who are not part of the HIGHLANDER $ [FVAPL] who PKG, are quite comfortable with the AWD, and V6, TOWING 49,000KMS $35,900 work#99-0801 that weWAS have done in the past and the work that we are planning,” Weilinger said. Mitchell pointed out that those landowners aren’t farmers. Both Spectra and Mitchell expect an NEB decision any day now on whether or not the company can go ahead with its project. Mitchell wants a contract; the company won’t sign one.

Showtime Planes and Characters

The current show in the Art Gallery in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre is Planes + Characters by artists Sandra Wiens and Pierre Tremblay. Tremblay and Wiens both enjoy working with the physicality of paint but with different outcomes. Tremblay has focused on playing with the conventions of portraiture. Playful extremes in both colours and composition play an important role in how his subjects materialize. Wiens has been working on depicting non-specific landscape spaces that explore the notion of both incremental and forceful change. The gallery is at 9201 Corbould St. and is open Wednesdays to Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m. and 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. during theatre performances. Show runs until March 8.

Chorus seeks voices

The Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra Chorus has immediate openings and welcomes committed singers whose voices blend well in a group. All singers are expected to attend weekly rehearsals in preparation for the April 12 performance. The ability to read music is a requirement.

Theatre fans are in for a treat as Driving Miss Daisy comes to the Cultural Centre Feb. 5

Pulitzer-prize winning play presented at Cultural Centre

xperience the heartwarming tale of Driving Miss Daisy, the beloved Pulitzer-prize winning play and film adaptation on the main stage of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Feb. 5. The charming story of a Southern matriarch and her reluctance to accept the help of the compassionate chauffeur, hired by her son, has touched audiences for almost three decades, and this wittily written show brings out the heart and humour at the centre of their growing relationship. Driving Miss Daisy centres upon 72-year-old Daisy Werthan, a stubbornly independent widow who initially regards considerate old chauffeur Hoke Colburn with resentment and more than a dash of prejudice. Set in 1940s Georgia, the

6350569

dynamic between the traditionalist Miss Daisy and her newest acquaintance is one bounded initially by tensions and derision. The 25-year journey that Daisy and Hoke take together carries the audience through a period defined by prejudice, shows an unexpected friendship unfolding before their eyes, and, as Campbell says, concludes with the realization “that this isn’t about two people that are black, white, or Jewish . . . male or female . . . or of any age. It’s about two souls.” ◗ For tickets call the centre box office at 604-391SHOW (7469), visit in person or purchase online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

Fire and burn injuries are the second leading cause of accidental death in children aged one to four years, and the third leading cause of injury and death for those aged one to eighteen.

Each year an estimated 9,000 children in Canada visit hospital emergency rooms for burns, and almost half of these have suffered scalds from hot liquids. On average, every person in this country will experience at least two kitchen fires during their lifetime. • • •

Teach children to never touch anything on the stove, or to open the oven. Children should not use stoves until they are old enough to safely handle items, reach cooking surfaces, and are mature enough to understand safety procedures in the kitchen. Children should be supervised while in the kitchen. Talk about safe places to play. The kitchen is not one of them. Discuss the dangers of climbing on counters or getting too close to hot appliances like the coffee pot, toaster, hot pots or pans and hot food.
