Treaty has Sto:lo in a conflict with Yale
Life
without limits
BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
T
reaties are signed between g ov e r n m e n t s a n d F i r s t Nations to establish certainty and heal wounds, but some local Sto:lo say the province’s soon-tobe-ratified treaty with the Yale First Nation does the opposite. Last week, Premier Christy Clark and Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister Mary Polak joined Yale Chief Robert Hope and youth from the Yale First Nation to celebrate B.C.’s third modern treaty under the B.C. treaty process. “The Yale Final Agreement is an extraordinary instrument for the Yale people to create a better future for their families as a self-governing community,” said Clark. “Every British Columbian benefits when individual communities are strong and local economies thrive—that’s what a treaty does and what the Yale treaty will do.” But for some in the Sto:lo community, the treaty remains the source of conflict in the Fraser Canyon as they fish in the waters and claim ancient ancestral ties to the land. Some Sto:lo fishermen have long had conflicts with the Yale over fishing sites, something Sto:lo say is entrenched further with a treaty. “We have unfettered access today,” Grand Chief Doug Kelly of the Sto:lo Tribal Council (STC) told the Times. “The Sto:lo don’t need a treaty to go fishing.” Kelly and STC president and Grand Chief Clarence Pennier spoke to the Times after leaving a meeting facilitated by the B.C. Treaty Commission and attended by Hope and Sto:lo Nation president Joe Hall. See TREATY, Page 14

Loanne Smith is no longer defined by her limitations as someone with an ostomy, thanks in part to a local support group and trips to a special summer camp. BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com
W
hen Loanne Smith e m e rg e d f ro m t h e haze of a seven-hour surgery to remove her large intestine when she was 12 years old, she was horrified. “They had told me before that I was going to have something,” she said. “They were going to reconstruct my insides, but you don’t really know what that means.” She soon learned what it meant was that her large intestine—ravaged by ulcerative colitis—was gone, her small intestine had been diverted through a hole in her abdomen (an ostomy) and, from now on, her stool would be collected in a pouch attached to that hole. “I did not handle it too well,” said
Most people don’t know much about ostomies, but a local support group has been here for 25 years & Loanne Smith couldn’t be more thankful Smith, who is now 17 and a Grade 12 student at G.W. Graham secondary. “I couldn’t even look at it. I was pretty disgusted by everything.” She lived with the bag (or appliance, in medical parlance) for a year, her body never quite adjusting and her adolescent body image taking a beating in baggy sweatpants while her peers wore skinny jeans. She also learned the hard way that friends her age wouldn’t always react well if she confided in them about her ostomy. “It’s a weird thing to have,” she
said. “At that age you don’t know who’s going to be your friend and stick with you unless you tell them something like that—then you know.” Her ostomy was reversed a year later during another seven-hour surgery that formed part of her small intestine into an internal reservoir (called a j-pouch) which acts as her large intestine or colon At age 14, the “weirdness” was now tucked neatly out view, but by that time Smith said her life was in a hole, defined by the limitations and restrictions of her illness.
“You get told so much, ‘You have to be careful! You have to be careful!’” Group meets once a month Things might have stayed that way if it wasn’t for the generosity of a small local support group. The Chilliwack & Area Ostomy Association has been around for 25 years, but not a lot of people know about it. It’s a group of about 30 ostomates (people with ostomies) and See OSTOMY, Page 17

Four charged in 2008 Kent prison murder
WEB EXTRAS The Times online

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
F
our men have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the prison stabbing death of Andrew Robert Craig. Craig, 27, died after being stabbed in a November 2008 fight at Kent Institution near Agassiz. He had been serving time for a 2007 robbery in Chilliwack. Two other men were injured in the
incident. Terence Robert Bolton, 26, Frajo (Frank) Perovic, 31, Scott Edward Sanderson, 33, and Nicholas Adam St. Hilaire, 29, are charged with first-degree murder, which means that police believe the killing was planned and premeditated. At the time of the killing, Bolton was serving five years for manslaughter, St. Hilaire was serving five years for manslaughter and conspiracy to commit murder, Sanderson was serving a six-year sentence for
aggravated assault, and Perovic was in the midst of a life sentence for first-degree murder. Only St. Hilaire had been released since the killing. He was arrested Tuesday without incident. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT ) used CCTV footage and a complete background investigation to compile the information that led to the charges. Investigations into prison violence can be difficult, but IHIT spokesperson Cpl. Dale Carr said the arrest
proves that police are dedicated to solving killings wherever they occur. “It’s a prison setting and people who live in a prison generally are not the most co-operative group with the police,” said Carr. “I think this particular case demonstrates . . . that we continue to move forward and try and get the best investigation put forward to Crown Counsel whether you’re in prison, whether you’re a drug dealer. If you’re murder, our job is to find out and hold people accountable.”

Raising funds to bring Blakney back last month. Neither BC Medical, Alberta Health Services nor his extended health insurance will cover the cost to ferry Blakney back to B.C. so Blakney has been recuperating alone in Calgary’s Peter Lougheed Centre while his wife Caroline stayed in Chilliwack, where she is needed to care for three of the couple’s young grandchildren. At the time of the story, Caroline was trying to learn how much it would cost to return Blakney back to Chilliwack. At first, the family was told that they

Last week, the Times reported that the 58-year-old Chilliwack truck driver was stuck in Calgary and lonely after nearly dying from the often-deadly infection
may be able to bring Blakney home on a private aircraft, accompanied by a family member. But she has since been told that the hospital will only release her husband to a medevac air transport.

ounties arrested a Surrey man Thursday evening after a tractor-trailer drove eastbound through Chilliwack on Highway 1 on the westbound shoulder. Police say the truck was first seen on the east side of Chilliwack and proceeded all the way through the city, over the Vedder Canal Bridge, and to No. 3 Road in Abbotsford before the driver was stopped and apprehended. Mounties have recommended charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. Cpl. Barb Vincent said that police may also charge the 48-year-old man with impaired driving, which would be related to suspected drug use. Semi goes up in flames Chilliwack firefighters dealt with their own truck-related problem early Friday morning.Firefightersextinguished a blaze that had engulfed a detached semi-trailer on Aitken Road at about 4:30 a.m. Friday. The trailer was being used for storage at the time of the fire. Both the trailer and the household items inside were completely destroyed, but firefighters were able to extinguish the flames before they could spread to two nearby units. The blaze is the second in the last month at the location.

Raising a stink over manure BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

City bylaw officials look at manure left by a spreader on Carriage Way last week. in the last three years was the farm accessed through Carriage Way. City of Chilliwack bylaw officials received complaints about the mess and were on the scene Wednesday to look at the manure caked on the roads ,but no fines were issued. From the city’s point of view, farmers have the right to do their work but they are supposed to at least scrape the roads before city crews come in and clean them. Chilliwack’s manager of technical services Garrett Schipper said they are
dealing with the issue as well as they can and have been working with farmers to get compliance with the city’s highway and traffic bylaw. Shields said he understands that farmers need to do their work, but he wonders why they are not charged a fee to have roads cleaned after manure spreading. “It’s a farm-based thing but there is also the fact that the population is increasing and people do have rights as residents too,” he said. “Why not try to work together?”

hilliwack residents are wellaware of the occasional odour that comes from living in a community where two thirds of the entire land base is in the Agricultural Land Reserve. But because of the practices of one farmer last week, residents of a Sardis neighbourhood not only have to smell manure, but it’s caked on the roads and floating as dust in the air as well. “It affects everybody,” said resident Mike Shields of the manure spreading on a piece of farmland that was accessed last Wednesday via Carriage Way. “Everybody pays taxes and some of the seniors have spent a lot of money: people come out and wash their houses, wash windows, they do lawn manicuring and guess what? That was all for nothing because of a one-day event.” That event was the travel of manurespreading vehicles from a farm on Sumas Central Road across Evans and on to Wells. The vehicles travel through residential streets, turn right on Maitland, left on Spruce, right on Wiltshire then right on Carriage Way to access the field. By Thursday afternoon, manure dust was still floating up from Carriage Way and Wiltshire as vehicles drove by. Shields said he and his neighbours have complained for a long time about the practice, but it continues. He has lived in the area for 16 years but only

Public can help clear the air BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
T
he air in Chilliwack isn’t what it used to be. But depending on who you talk to, some say the air is getting better, some say worse. Either way, city hall is looking for public feedback into its plan to reduce energy consumption, air emissions and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Specifically, the goal is to reduce GHG emissions 20 per cent below 2007 levels by 2020. Transportation is the largest contributor to GHG emissions at 45 per cent, followed by buildings at 29 per cent, agriculture at 17 per cent and solid waste at nine per cent. Any project to reduce air quality requires cooperation with the federal and provincial government, as well as from local business and agriculture. It is in this latter category that Mayor Sharon Gaetz would like to see some changes to the most visible and obvious source of air pollution in Chilliwack: outdoor burning. Currently, outdoor burning of green waste is allowed in agricultural areas during two twomonth periods with a permit. Farmers need to get rid of green waste and
FLESH EATING, from page 3 provider Green Shield has been working to secure a discounted rate for the transport, although with Blakney now unable to work, the family still can’t pay the cost. Many people, meanwhile, have contacted the Times to ask how they can help bring Neil home. One person offered to go to Calgary to bring him home. Another woman, out of work, offered to make a donation to
burning is usually the easiest way. But Gaetz would like to see the burning bylaw revisited to further reduce the practice while providing alternatives to the agricultural community. Current alternatives include the Parr Road green depot, but Gaetz said the city is working with the Chilliwack Agricultural Commission to look at all practices to replace burning, including an increase in the use of chippers. Gaetz has been on the forefront of opposition against Metro Vancouver’s plan to build a garbage incinerator, which she says will damage the airshed in the Fraser Valley. During discussions about the incineration issue in recent years, at least one Metro representative has claimed the city’s acceptance of outdoor burning has more of an impact on air quality than a modern incinerator would. Gaetz disputes that, but is aware that allowing outdoor burning in Chilliwack while opposing garbage burning elsewhere might appear hypocritical. “We don’t want to be hypocrites,” she said. ◗ Feedback on the city’s Air Quality, Energy and Greenhouse Gas Community Action Plan will be accepted up to May 31. The draft plan is online at www.chilliwack.com/air. Call 604-7932907 or email energyplan@chilliwack.com.

Writing the end of cancer’s tale
I
think it would be a safe bet that a lot of books were published last year about the Second World War. A stack higher than I am tall is probably pushed out every few months. How many books were published last year about the eradication of smallpox? There are quite a few. But the stack of books is much smaller. This is understandable. The Second World War has battles and bombs, mad tyrants, heroism, horror, and nuclear warfare. Struggles against disease make for less dramatic reading. Smallpox was beaten by generations of scientists trying to understand disease itself, learning how vaccines worked, creating safe injections. Then there was the dawning awareness that smallpox could be beaten completely, made extinct. Public health efforts won the day. The result was that by the time I was born, smallpox was a nonissue. My parents had smallpox vaccination scars; I don’t. How will future generations look back on our present struggles against disease? In a little more than a week, the Canadian Cancer Society will hold the annual Langley and Chilliwack Relay for Life events. It’s a 12-hour walking relay through the night. It’s part fundraiser, part party, part remembrance of those killed by cancer.
MATTHEW CLAXTON
Be Our Guest It’s another one of the millions of small battles taking place in the drive to find a cure. Every step around the track at the McLeod Athletic Park or Prospera Centre will mark someone’s commitment to beating cancer. The dollars raised there—and at hundreds, thousands of other events around the world—flows into the funds of scientists and doctors. Somewhere, a grad student is shoveling cold Chinese food into his or her mouth, thinking intently. The idea germinating in that brain will turn into a research proposal, which will be funded by the Canadian Cancer Society. A decade from now, after jumping all the hurdles of lab tests and animal models, it will start human trials. And it will work better than what has come before. More people will live. More people will live longer, healthier lives. Cancer isn’t like smallpox. It isn’t one disease, it’s hundreds of similar diseases. In my own lifetime, I’ve seen treatments for some of them improve. In the last 30-odd years, survival rates have gone up.
But not for every type of cancer. Some are stubborn, still killing as efficiently as they did 10 or 20 or 50 years ago. But I believe every kind of cancer can be beaten. It’s just biology, and we’re the cleverest apes that ever walked on this planet. We went from throwing rocks at one another on the savannah to travelling through space. We are smart enough to kick cancer’s butt. I think I’m going to live to see it. I certainly plan on being around 20, 30, even 40 years from now. And when they declare that war over, when people consider cancer something no more worrying than a bad cold, I plan to write down the story of how it was killed. It will be a strange tale. It will be a story of garage sales and car washes, of heads shaved and strong men weeping as their chest hair is waxed off. It’s a story about runners and walkers, bike riders and paddlers. Furious activity, all to pour a stream of money to men and women in lab coats. I think I can make it exciting. So here’s the deal: I’ll write about how we beat cancer. You join me in becoming part of that story, right now. The Chilliwack Relay for Life takes place on June 3 and 4 at Prospera Centre. To donate or join a team, go to www.cancer.ca/relay. ◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the Langley Advance.
Here we go again. The relatively cold spring has everybody talking about the weather. And all these decades after Mark Twain’s famous admonition, there’s still nobody doing anything about it. On the other hand, maybe that’s not such a bad thing. After all, the unusually cool spring may be a bane for gardeners and those who like to get out of their winter habits and into the outdoors, but it is part of what’s keeping last winter’s unusually large snow pack upriver where it belongs—or at least where we’d all like it to hang back so it can melt slowly and feed the Fraser River in bits and spurts. The alternative could put us where the folks on the Assiniboine River are right now—stressing over every inch that the water rises towards the tops of levies and dikes. Or watching the water inundate their farms through a controlled breach—a break created in hopes of staving off worse disaster downstream—and wondering if and how much government compensation might be coming to stave off personal disaster. Those of us who live along the Fraser River need to be aware of the mixed blessings that the waterway offers. The old timers who remember 1948 really aren’t that old. And the impressive results of the even greater flood of 1896 are awesome where they still are evident—for instance, the displacement of a mile of McMillan Island, shifting the main course of the Fraser to the Maple Ridge side of the river, and narrowing the Bedford Channel on the Langley side to a relative trickle. That’s the power of unchecked snow melt cascading down from the Interior, folks. It’s what’s wreaking havoc in Manitoba and Alabama, and also in our own province, at Prince George. Perhaps we ought to be thankful for our unseasonably cool spring. And thankful nobody has to be doing anything about it.

Crime bill costs go deeper than dollars & sense Editor: Letter to the Editor in response to John Martin “Things just got a lot better,” Chilliwack Times, May 17. As a resident of the “Prison Capital of Canada” I would like to address Mr. Martins’s celebratory tone in regards to the promised crime bill omnibus. I would like to suggest that instead of “things just got a lot better,” things are about to get a whole lot worse, Mr. Martin. Although the Bill has not been introduced yet we are fairly certain that much of the language the Conservatives have been trying and failing to pass (for very good reasons, by the way, Mr. Martin) will be included in the omnibus. The language I refer to is mandatory minimums. A proven policy failure in the United States, mandatory minimums are now being abandoned there. Why would Canada even consider such a fiscal and human tragedy? Building new prisons and filling them with people is good business for some. The contracts here in Kingston are already being awarded to large corporations outside of the area. I think it would be very interesting to know who is investing in the future of the Canadian prison industrial complex in Canada. We know the taxpayers will be paying in the long haul. Corrections Canada is estimating prison population to increase by 300 per cent in just three years. Does Mr. Martin really think this will make for safer communities? Quite the opposite will be the outcome I’m afraid. The prisons that will be built in order to house the newly “created” criminals of Canada will be a financial

burden for generations to come. The costs to the taxpayers will be astronomical. Once the crime bill omnibus is passed, ground will be broken, the prisons will be built and there will be no choice but to fill them. Is this the future landscape you want for your children? Probably the most contested bill, the Organized Crime Bill will set mandatory minimum sentences of six months in prison for growing six cannabis plants. This is ludicrous. It will destroy families, give young people criminal records for the rest of their lives and potentially create ongoing criminal behaviour. The further irony of this bill is that it will in fact work to the benefit of organized crime gangs by potentially decreasing competition in the cannabis cultivation industry. Gangsters love prohibition, as their profit margins increase. The 2.5 million admitted cannabis smokers are not going to stop consuming, but their neighbourhood-friendly growers will be gone sooner than they think. Conservatives like what makes sense monetarily. Mandatory minimums are a disaster financially and
for society as a whole. The Crime Bill costs will never be revealed because they will go much deeper than dollars and sense. Kelly Carter Kingston
How they live a private matter Editor: L. Cross begins her letter with a declaration of her good intent. She insists that she doesn’t mean “to offend or propagate any hate.” Disclaimers of this nature, pre-emptively exonerating the writer or speaker of any mailicious intent, are routinely followed by words which have precisely the effect said not to be intended: giving offence and propagating hatred. The words of the letter speak for themselves. The disclaimer, in my reading, has the same effect as fliers dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki prior to the nuclear bomb dropping, saying “We really don’t mean anything by this bomb we’re about to drop.” Whether Ms. Cross’s children really asked her these questions or whether this portion of the letter was just a literary device being used
as a vehicle for her apparent need to publicly chastise people for the manner in which they choose to conduct their private business is of little moment. The fact that she felt it was necessary to write a letter to the editor in order to air her unsolicited opinion is what’s really of interest. I rather suspect she is using these children as human shields against the blowback she knew would come in response to her words. Ms. Cross, if you have something to say and you know you’re right, you just say it and damn the torpedoes. Mind, when you suspect you may be dead wrong, disclaimers are most certainly in order. I rather suspect you knew perfectly well you were stepping over a line, or you wouldn’t have felt the need to wash your hands in preparation for taking that ill-considered step. I certainly can imagine that Ms. Cross’s yard is clear of any and all debris (except maybe a “keep off the grass” sign). I’ll bet you can eat out of her toilet, too. Of course, I don’t really give a rat’s behind, because I don’t live at Ms. Cross’s house. Why is it, then, that Ms. Cross is so concerned with the manner in which her neighbours choose to attend to their own, private business? It’s not my call, to be sure. I’m not about to call Ms. Cross the name I know very well she fears being called, because that is really not necessary, in consideration of her letter. Maybe what Ms. Cross needs to do while she’s out ferrying her kids around is keep her eyes on the road and off the lawns of her neighbours. Jennifer Woodroff Chilliwack

Editor: Re: Don’t impose your convictions on us. The May 2 display had nothing to do with any “religious denomination,” and labelling it as such is both inaccurate and misleading. When it comes to abortion, religion is irrelevant. Saying that people who oppose abortion are imposing their “religion” on others implies that only “religious” people value life. Abortion should be of concern to everyone —not just the “religious” types. Whenever we see basic human rights trampled on, we have an obligation to unite and fight for the rights of those who are most vulnerable, and in this case don’t even have a voice. Abortion is not wrong because some religious denomination may say it is; it’s wrong because it ends the life of an unborn human being. Ania Kasprzak Chilliwack

Editor: We appreciate the support of the Chilliwack community on our recent weekend for the animals. Thank you to the many hardworking volunteers who made the event a success. The Mega Garage and Bake Sale raised a combined total of more than $4,000 for our Chilliwack SPCA animals. A huge thank-you goes to the amazing Helen Macham and her crew who not only made the shelter look great for our open house but also hosted the garage sale. We can’t thank Helen enough for her generosity and her fantastic support of the Chilliwack SPCA. We have an amazing team of dedicated volunteers who worked so hard for weeks leading up to the fundraising weekend. Roz Miller and Valerie MacLou were true superstars, spending countless hours collecting, sorting, and pricing everything. It was a huge undertaking and we are so grateful for their time and effort. Thank you to everyone on our fantastic garage sale team: Bob Nelson, Pat MacLou, Christine Hood, Barb Dahl, Karen Ames, Carole Higginbottom, Carolyn Pinsent, Juanita and Tony Stander, Sabine Marienburg, Leanne Ashdown, Patty Smith, Dr. Deb Hallinan, Russ, Bill and Paul from Macham Enterprises, and Helen’s neighbour Jesse for all of his help. Special thanks to Lisa Storozynsky, Wanda Gordon, Ella Bell, Bob and Marilyn
Lamb, Linda Brown, Darryl Leeson, and so many others who donated items to the garage sale and bake sale to help make the weekend a success. Also, thank you to Decades for supplying us with wonderful coffee, to Ace Signs for helping us to promote our event and ICI Paints for donating the paint to spruce up our dog kennels. We couldn’t have done it without all of you. Ivanna Ferris, manager BC SPCA Chilliwack Animal Protection Centre

ickets have been sold, the weather has turned and professional soccer is about to return to Chilliwack. The Vancouver Whitecaps Women will take on the Colorado Rush Friday at Exhibition Stadium in a regular season USL W-League game and all those involved are excited for the match. The Whitecaps opened up their season May 15 with a convincing 2-0 victory over Victoria Highlanders FC in Victoria. Several of the Whitecaps’ regulars from last year will miss this season as they prepare to play for Canada at the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Germany but their replacements look poised to try to push the Whitecaps to repeat as Western Conference champions. “This group will have to find their own identity and I think they went about that the right way on Sunday,” coach Hubert Busby told the Times last week. The Whitecaps play a 4-3-3 formation that will at times switch to a 4-1-4-1, depending on the opponents. With one of the more skilled clubs in the league, the

Kirk also finished fourth in the long jump.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC training session held at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex. Whitecaps will look to control the ball and open up the Rush’s defence. The Whitecaps Women are playing home games at sites throughout the province and Friday’s game will be the club’s second such home-awayfrom-home game. Busby said that the opportunity to watch live soccer is not to be missed, especially for those players who aspire to compete at a high level. “Watching games live is a huge, huge part of development. I think that, in a much broader sense, is why the rest of the world is a little more sophisticated than we are, because they grew up watching more games live,” said Busby. “It’s one of the last
key puzzles in terms of us developing as a soccer nation, to get our young players to be enveloped in this process . . . and watching games live.” A live experience allows young players to watch how professionals react and move away from the ball— a crucial part of the game. “You don’t get that watching on TV when the focus is on the ball,” said Busby. Weimer leads the way One player to watch on Friday will be midfielder Tiffany Weimer (No. 8). Weimer scored both Whitecaps goals in their opener. The first player signed by the Whitecaps, Weimer

Weimer, who also serves as the team’s ambassador, is excited that the Whitecaps will be playing their home games in smaller cities around the province. “It’s pretty cool to be able to go into different communities and have a different crowd each game,” she told the Times. “I think the way they’re doing this will bring a lot of attention to the women’s team.” That attention is impor tant because young female athletes have to look a little harder to find role models they can emulate. “The guys, they’re in the media all the time,” said Weimer. “Every little boy knows that he can be a professional athlete but I don’t know that all the little girls know that. There’s so many great opportunities that can come from playing soccer and sports in general and I think the more that little girls know that and that their dreams can come true, the better.” Someone to watch Spectators should also watch for Taiwanese international Tseng ShuO (No. 10), who played in Australia last year and will be facing her old team, having lined up for the Rush and scoring twice against the Whitecaps last year. ◗ The Whitecaps face the Rush Friday at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $10, with $1 from each ticket going to cancer research.

oncerns about custodial staffing levels in the Chilliwack school district, have prompted a district report to trustees about custodial workloads and equipment. CUPE president Rod Isaac, a custodian himself, first drew the board’s attention to custodial staffing levels in April when the proposed 2011-12 budget was presented to trustees for the first time. He pointed out that the budget restores support staff to 2009-10 levels (making up for last year’s drastic cuts) but, unlike the increases planned for teachers and EAs, doesn’t go beyond that. Despite growing budgets, rising student populations and the addition of three new schools, he said staffing levels for custodial workers have stayed nearly the same. When trustee John-Henry Harter brought TREATY, from page 1 Pennier and Kelly said Hope told them he was going to create a permitting process to allow for access to the fishing sites, something all three Sto:lo chiefs deem as unacceptable. Under the terms of the treaty, the Yale Indian Band believes it will be able to approve who fishes in the canyon, despite the constitutionally protected right all First Nations have to fish. In an interview with the Times, Minister Polak said quite the opposite is true. “One of the things that has been addressed in the treaty, quite specifically, is access for the Sto:lo and others to be able to access the land in such a way that it doesn’t infringe on their traditional areas of fishing,” she said. “One could argue the treaty changes things significantly for the better in terms of their guaranteed access. Without the treaty agreement there was no assurance of access for the Sto:lo.” But Kelly said the minister has been “given bad information.” STC leader and Chief Tyrone McNeil also disagreed. “Anyone that says the Yale treaty will improve Sto;lo access to the fishery in the canyon is disillusioned and full of crap,” he told the Times. “Yale has a history of kicking Sto:lo fishermen out of the fish spots and
up the issue again during budget debate last Tuesday, he was told increased workloads for custodians over the years have been offset by new, labour-saving machines. “While we have a similar number of people doing the work,” said secretary-treasurer Maureen Carradice, “we have added significant technology to the custodial department to assist them in doing that work more efficiently.” Since 2003, the district has purchased 14 ride-on floor scrubbers ranging in cost from $12,000 to $15,000 each. All schools are additionally equipped with more mobile, walk-behind scrubbers that cost between $4,000 and $6,000 each. Since 2006, the district has also invested in seven $4,800 electric washroom cleaners called Kiavacs—a combination pressure washer and wet vacuum that, district staff said, allows custodians to sanitize and disinfect washrooms on a daily basis.

Not yet ratified camps that those families have used for generations. The Yale Treaty as it stands is a clear infringement on Sto:lo Aboriginal Rights to the Fraser Canyon area.” And McNeil goes even further: “Yale First Nation is a Stolo village.” Kelly said the he originally applauded Hope and the government for reaching an agreement, but the Sto:lo’s interest is simply being able to practise their right to fish. “We are not here to derail, we are not here to delay, we are not here to impede the Yale from finalizing their treaty,” he said. “We are here for one sole purpose: to protect the Sto:lo that practise their aboriginal right in the fishery.” Polak said she is aware of Sto:lo concerns and has a meeting scheduled this week with representatives to discuss the treaty. The Yale First Nation Final Agreement includes self-government provisions and phases out tax exemptions. The treaty will provide Yale with a capital transfer of $10.7 million, economic development funding of $2.2 million and 1,966 hectares of land owned in fee simple, made up of 217 hectares of former Yale Indian reserves and 1,749 hectares of Crown lands. The treaty still has to be ratified in the provincial legislature.

News OSTOMY, from page 1 their spouses or significant others who meet once a month to encourage each other not to let “the pouch” get in the way of full and active lives. “It’s a lot of getting used to, but my husband, he fished and hunted and everything with his ostomy,” said president Alice Basso, who joined the group 15 years ago after her husband’s ostomy surgery. Besides supporting each other, the Ostomy Association also works to raise awareness in the medical community, so health care workers who encounter an ostomy patient aren’t caught unawares—something that happened to Basso’s husband when he ran into problems with his ostomy while travelling in Eastern Canada. “They had no idea how to put things back,” said Basso. A couple of times a year, the group helps with a three-hour
class for registered nursing (RN) students at the University of the Fraser Valley. Instructor Jacqueline Bourdages, the clinical resource nurse for interstomal therapy at Chilliwack General Hospital, thinks at least one course on ostomies should be part of every nurse’s training. “A lot of nurses don’t know a lot about them, and if you haven’t seen one before, you can be kind of frightened by them,” she said, referring to the ostomy appliance and the deep-red segment of bowel (called a stoma) that protrudes slightly through the opening in the abdomen. A one-hour informal talk with Chilliwack Ostomy Association members during the UFV course gives future RNs a wealth of practical first-hand knowledge and a glimpse of the full and active lives ostomates can lead. “They can see beyond the stoma to the person,” said Bourdages.
The Chilliwack ostomy group formed Loanne Smith’s life. Terrified at first (she had never is a mature set, between the ages of about 50 to 90, who became traveled away from home before ostomates later in life because of except to visit her grandparents), things like cancer, Crohn’s disease she went to the camp and was or—less common past the age of pushed to try things she never imagined she 25—ulcerative c o u l d d o, l i k e colitis. white water raftBut the group “It teaches you to live ing, cliff jumping has a keen symyour life again.

appliances, Smith said she learned she was not alone and that her life didn’t have to be limited. She put those lessons to work when she got home, and she will carry them with her when she takes up music studies at Capilano University in Vancouver in the fall. Looking back, she said it’s hard to imagine what life would be like now without those three summers at Camp Horizon, made possible by the Chilliwack and Area Ostomy Association. “I would not be the person I am,” she said, “not even close.” ◗ On Saturday, May 28, the Chilliwack and Area Ostomy Association holds a fundraising garage sale at 8444 Piper Crescent. The group meets on the third Monday of every month at 1:30 p.m. at Atchelitz Threshermen’s Hall. For more information, call president Alice Basso at 604-7962513.

If I was 100 years old . . .
East Chilliwack elementary students were asked this question and their answers might surprise you . . . so too might local treasure Jean Scott whom we asked about her pending 100th BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com
I
f you lived to 100, what would your life look like? That’s a question Darlene Crocker, a Grade 2/3 teacher at East Chilliwack elementary, puts to her students every year on their 100th day of school. The responses she collects have always included a couple of doozies (like one from a student who said turning 100 would mean she would get to sleep with her boyfriend), but this year’s class pulled out all the stops. “I’ve been teaching for 30 years and I’ve never gotten answers like this,” said Crocker. Originally just a journal entry on 100 Day back in February, the veteran teacher recently had her class rework their responses in a good copy, complete with drawings. The projects give a nod to some of the pleasures students anticipate in old age: “I would camp and wear mountain outfits with big boots,” writes Vanessa McRae. “I’d whack my cane on the ground for fun,” wrote Josiah Hansen.
But students don’t pull any punches when it comes to the disadvantages they think might come with being 100: “I would quit dancing…And I might eat tuna—yuck!” writes Jordyn Zutter. “I’d look like a really, really old girl,” writes Jillian Black. “I would not be able to do the monkey bars,” writes Amaneet Bains. “I would hardly be able to get in the car,” writes Katlyn Hrusik. To see how accurate these grim visions of one’s centenary might be, the Times showed the projects to 99-year-old local author, women’s rights activist and UFV honorary doctorate recipient Jean Scott, whose own predictions of what life will be like at 100 are less than a year away from being tested. She conceded that some of the physical challenges described by the students will likely be all too true. “You’re bloody lucky if you don’t completely disintegrate,” she said. But, to her, that’s not the whole story. “They don’t need to think we’re all over the hill,” she said. “I wish I
could take a jazz record if I got to see them, because I would show them how you’ve got rhythm as long as you live.” Scott, who lives at the Lynnwood Retirement Residence, still sings, plays piano, cooks, bakes and listens to audio books. She plans to celebrate her 100th birthday with a party to raise money for the Jean Scott Endowment Scholarship at UFV. Still outspoken and curious about life, Scott may defy some people’s notion of what life should be like at her age, but at nearly 100, she said she enjoys another benefit: “Being 99, I don’t have to give a damn.” Cornelia Naylor/TIMES
Jean Scott, a 99-year-old local author, women’s rights activist, former labour negotiator, co-founder of Chilliwack’s transition house, UFV honorary doctorate recipient and Governor General’s Persons Case award winner, looks over projects done by Grade 2 and 3 students at East Chilliwack elementary on what life would be like if they were 100 years old.
. . . and here’s what the students said about being 100 walk very slow with a cane. My hair will be gray. I would not be able to do the monkey bars. I would play bingo every day because that’s what old people play all the time. I would read with my reading glasses. That’s how I would live at 100. Amaneet Bains, Grade 3
If I was 100 years old, I’d have to walk with a cane. I’d talk to other old people. I’d whack my cane on the ground for fun. I’d eat toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and pizza for dinner. I’d give kids candy to make them happy. I’d sing nursery rhymes all the time. I’d go to bed at 1:30 in the morning. I’d play rock, paper, scissors when I got bored. Josiah Hansen, Grade 2 When I’m 100 years old, I will still have my video games, a small car and go out for dinner. I will not be able to ride a bike, skateboard or scooter or have a radio. I’ll name my kids Bob and Harry and have a house with four rooms. I’ll wake up at 1:20 in the morning and go to bed at 7:30, and get breakfast at 1:30. Jett Thomas, Grade 3
If I was 100 years old, I would talk weird and say funny jokes. I would walk with a cane, drink coffee and tea. I would have 100 million dollars and buy a Wii and play it every day. Ethan Maljaars, Grade 2
Art work provided by Hayden Dahlby When I am 100 I’ll sleep noisy and loud. I will eat rude. I will be a grandpa and talk weird. I’ll have a cane. I’ll be too old to play. I’ll have a beard and glasses. I’ll walk slow. I’ll have an old house, no money
and a very, very, very, very long beard. I’ll be 100 years old, and old! I’ll be too lazy to move. Hayden Dahlby, Grade 2 If I was 100 years old, I would
If I was 100 years old, I would look wrinkly and old. I would have a cane. I would be bent over and I would be tired all the time. I would have a book and read it, and I would have curly hair. I would have lots of freckles. I would be a
widow. It would be the end. Jessica Laanstra, Grade 2 When I am one hundred I will have wrinkles and go for walks. Sometimes I will eat chocolate and cookies and watch TV while I look crazy. Kelsey Brown, Grade 2 If I lasted to 100 years old, I would have a cane and a pair of glasses too. I would have grayish hair and I would barely even be able to walk. Cole Mayes, Grade 2 When I am 100 I will retire from the army. I will eat perogies, gum, peppermint and fruit. I will walk with a cane and not run, fight or See BEING 100, Page 20

Memorial Gifts
(March 13, 1985 - May 15, 2011) Beloved son of Norman and Pamela Causton, passed away peacefully at the Royal Columbia Hospital on May 15, 2011 surrounded by his family. He leaves behind his wife Nicole, daughter Alexus, Norm and Pam (parents), Andrew (brother), and Allison (sister). Jeff was born in Edmonton Alberta on March 13, 1985. His big, bright, brown eyes instantly captured everyone’s heart. He loved to play and laugh; he always loved life. He moved to Chilliwack with his family when he was four and spent the rest of his life here. In school he met and later married Nicole. Together they had their daughter Alexus, who was her father’s pride and joy. In the last year Jeffrey became very ill, but even while in hospital he enjoyed the time to see his family, friends, and especially to spend time with his “Lexie”. Jeffrey recognized Jesus Christ as his Saviour and reassured us all that we would see him again in heaven. We will miss him always. Jeff’s life was celebrated on May 21st at Central Community Church with family and close friends. In lieu of flowers we as a family ask that you send your donations to “Hungry for Life” – in memory of Jeffrey, 45950 Alexander Ave. Chilliwack BC V2P 1L5 (604)-703-0223.
