$3.2 million award overturned BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

n Monday, the B.C. Court of Appeal overturned a $3.2-million decision awarded to a Chilliwack girl left severely disabled after a mishandled birth. In 2009, Carolyn Ediger of Chilliwack sued her obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. William Johnston, for negligence in connection with

B.C. Court of Appeal says burden of proof not met in case involving use of forceps during birth

a forceps delivery of Cassidy, who is now 13 years old and requires ongoing care. On Jan. 23, 1998, Carolyn was admitted to Chilliwack General Hospital and was induced. There were complications during the birth and Johnston attempted to

conduct a forceps delivery. The doctor stopped and switched to a Caesarean delivery after running into problems. During this time, Cassidy’s heartrate slowed and starved her brain of oxygen. It took 18 minutes to revive her after she was born but

the severe brain damage she suffered left her mostly immobile and in need of constant care. The B.C. Supreme Court heard that someone with Cassidy’s disabilities has a life expectancy of approximately 38 years. In 2009, Justice Heather Holmes

lternate education in the Chilliwack school district needs work to get it in line with new ministry of education regulations, according to Education Centre vice-principal Dave Manuel. “If we were audited today for our alt program, we would get hammered,” he said at a meeting with community partners last month. The ministry tightened up its policy for alternate education last May, and concerns about compliance along with questions about how alternate education might tie in to Chilliwack’s chronically low graduation rates has prompted the district’s senior alternate site to review its practices and role in the district. Over the past six months, 20 educators, including representatives from the Ed Centre, each of the local high schools and most district departments, have met six times to take stock of current practices and programs and to find ways to improve them, especially at the high school level.

Since the ministry of education system and decide which ones mayadopted its current course-based be could be serviced in their regular funding model for Grade 10 to 12 stu- school,” said Manuel. “Then we can dents in 2008, districts have been enti- focus our energies on the ones that tled to one full-time equivalent (FTE) require above and beyond.” Besides allowing the school to zeroof funding for each student taking in on truly at-risk kids, sorting out the eight or more courses during the year. students who belong Alternate students in the district’s alt pro(youth in care, aboriggram from those who inal students, youth “If we were audited don’t is critical for two living in poverty or today for our alt other reasons, accordon the street, gifted program, we would ing to Manuel. children who have difFirst, it will bring ficulty in social situaget hammered.” the district in line with tions, youth involved Dave Manuel ministry policy, which in drugs, alcohol and now requires alternate the sex trade and programs to prove youth with mental they are offering supports above and health concerns) are an exception. They receive one FTE of funding beyond those required at a regular regardless of how many courses they school, and that each student in the take as long as they are enrolled in an program needs those extra supports. Second, it could improve Chillialternate program. Until last May, however, a lack of wack’s low graduation rate. Graduation rates for alternate stuclear policy governing such programs has led to many students who aren’t dents around the province typically really alternate students ending up in hover at around 15 per cent, and the Education Centre is no different, them. “One of our tasks right now is to take according to Manuel. But Chilliwack is above the provina look at all the kids we have in our

cial average, he said, in the number of students it sends into its alternate programs. “You’ve got a higher subscription to alt services and in many cases those kids aren’t graduating on time or sometimes ever,” said Manuel. Since just before Christmas, the alternate education research team has worked to find solutions to these problems and ways to improve services to the district’s most at-risk kids. Besides sizing up the current state of affairs in the district, they have also visited eight different districts around the province and examined their alt programs. Some of the gaps they have uncovered in Chilliwack’s senior alternate program, when compared to programs in other districts, include a lack of comprehensive transition processes both into and out of the program, a shortage of staff (youth care workers, counsellors, outreach workers), a lack of different programs for different kinds of alternate students, a need for closer ties with mainstream schools and a need for more community partnerships.

McGray has been moved to a new federal prison and is no longer in British Columbia. I n t e g r a t e d Ho m i c i d e Investigation Team spokesperson Cpl. Dale Carr said the delay in charging McGray came because police did not need to expedite the analysis of forensic evidence collected at the scene. “There was no concern for public safety,” he said. “There was no reason to rush it. So once we had all our facts and evidence together and all the analysis that we required and all the interviews that we did, Crown approved the charges.” Citing privacy rules, prison officials couldn’t comment where, or in what sort of unit, McGray is currently being held.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz tries out one of the new emergency tent cots. “We have to be mobile,” said MacDonald. While the city already has three designated group lodging sites, the mobile units makes the city’s emergency system even more flexible. They are also available for neighbouring communities in need. The cots would be set up by the evacuees and MacDonald says that would provide

APPEAL, from page 1 almost $600,000 for loss of future earnings. At issue, in part, was whether the doctor’s attempted forceps delivery caused an umbilical cord compression, which in turn caused a fetal bradycardia and whether this would not have happened if he had an anaesthetist standing by. The appeal court found the trial judge erred in finding that the use of forceps caused the brain injury and

a team building effort that would give those affected ownership of their situation. “Group lodging provides immediate relief and allows evacuees a chance to focus on their personal recovery plans,” he said. The contents of the trailers, including the cots, were also put on display Thursday and local politicians raved

about the enclosable-beds, which resemble elevated one-preson tents. “I have two artificial hips and this was really easy to get into,” said Coun. Stewart McLean, while lying prone on the mattress. “We’re prepared, we’re ready to go, we hope nothing ever happens,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz.

hilliwack is better prepared for an emergency after city officials unveiled two new trailers that will allow for the transportation of hundreds of cots and other vital equipment. The new trailers were bought with public donations and money from an $11,250 Farm Credit Canada AgriSpirit grant for rural communities. Chilliwack emergency program co-ordinator Jim MacDonald said the trailers will give officials the ability to quickly and efficiently provide aid and shelter to those displaced by unforeseen events. “Before this, we didn’t have anything like this,” said MacDonald. “We’d throw five or six cots in a van and carry on like that, so this really makes this a portable service.” The new trailers each carry dozens of cots, along with other vital equipment and allow for the rapid deployment of the city’s emergency resources. The trailers and cots could be deployed if residents were evacuated from their homes or if an overnight shutdown of Highway 1 stranded travellers in the city.

Daytrip turns tragic when exchange student drowns

CMP divers were at Kawkawa Lake Monday trying to find the body of a Kenyan foreign exchange student who drowned in the Hope area lake Sunday. The 24-year-old man had been one of approximately 16 foreign exchange students who were visiting the area. The man had entered the water from a floating dock about 21 metres from shore and failed to surface. Police were called in the early afternoon hours. There were about four or five of the students on the dock when the incident

occurred. Early investigation of the tragedy suggests the man was unable to swim. The water where the man entered was approximately six to 7.6 metres deep and very cold, according to police. “It’s unclear yet whether he jumped in or what happened,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck of Upper Fraser Valley RCMP. Neither drugs nor alcohol was involved. The student was attending a Vancouver-area university. He and 15 other exchange students were on a daytrip at a bible-camp facility.

Float plane didn’t crash

he single occupant of a small plane that landed on the north end of Harrison Lake Monday morning was taken to hospital for precautionary reasons but thought to be in good health, according to police. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Tammy Holling-

sworth said the man called for assistance Monday morning. The man was located on a beach. “It doesn’t look like he crashed the plane,” said Hollingsworth. “There is very minimal damage. Early speculation is that there was a problem with the floats on the plane.”

Target aims for 2013 local opening BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

iPod/iPad pilot project extended A Chilliwack school district pilot project exploring the use of mobile technology in the classroom will be expanded next year. Since January, four Chilliwack schools (Chilliwack secondary, A.D. Rundle middle, Watson elementary and Strathcona elementary) have used class sets of Apple iPod Touches and one class iPad to experiment with different apps, activities and projects designed to enhance student learning. Next year the pilot will be offered to eight schools, four in the fall semester and four in the spring. The school that participated in this year’s pilot will be given the opportunity to keep their iPods and act as demonstration sites. The 60 iPods and 4 iPads the district bought this year cost $20,000.

StrongStart is a free dropin early learning program for preschool-aged children designed to help them become comfortable in a schoollike setting by developing their language and social skills.

Saved a bunch on spring break The Chilliwack school district saved $255,000 by taking an extra week off at spring break this year, according to estimates provided to the board of education’s finance committee this month. The biggest savings ($140,000) came from salaries that would have been paid out to the district’s 10-month CUPE staff. About $70,000 was saved on replacement staff like teachers while transportation accounted for $35,000 in savings and utilities for another $10,000. The district adopted this year’s two-week spring break in March 2010 as a cost saving measure when it looked like the district might be facing a $5 million shortfall for the 2010-11 school year. Two months ago, the board voted to go back to a standard one-week break next year.

This commission must go

t’s time to once again set our sights on the country’s human rights commissions. A few years ago this was one of the most controversial issues in the country. The Canadian Human Rights Commission, and its provincial counterparts, were under intense scrutiny for their reckless attempts to impose censorship and exhibiting a horrifying disregard for due process. Created many decades ago to address discrimination toward those seeking employment or housing, these commissions soon found themselves with little work on their hands as there just didn’t seem to be enough discrimination out there to keep thousands of politically correct bureaucrats and appointees busy. So they started seeking out other witches. Magazine publishers, stand up comedians, website operators—soon none of us were free from the over-reaching clutches of the human rights industry. But the tables turned and soon their activities and ludicrous rulings dominated the headlines. Parliament, the Privacy Commissioner and even the RCMP investigated them. Employees of these commissions have been accused of being members in several online hate groups and routinely posting racist messages to see what type of mischief they could rouse up. And then, of course, come to the rescue and bust the owner of the domain. But as is usually the case, news items have a limited shelf life. The

JOHN MARTIN

Crime Matters commissions briefly toned down their more outrageous buffoonery and even acquitted the occasional chap unfortunate enough to be hauled before one of these kangaroo courts. Legislators, very weary of being branded “anti-human rights” were reluctant to force meaningful reform on these lawless social engineers. The uproar soon subsided. But the thugs who run these commissions may not be out of the woods yet. Tim Hudak, leader of the Ontario Conservatives and possibly soon to be Premier, has pledged to reform the Ontario Human Rights Commission. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall appears to be going ahead with his intention to enforce rules of evidence and proper procedure on that province’s commission—a move that has the human rights bureaucrats screaming bloody murder. But the best move would be for Stephen Harper’s government to axe the Canadian Human Rights Commission altogether. It is a disgrace. At the least, the federal government should gut the legisla-

tion so the commission has limited authority. A good start would be to dramatically slash their budget so they would have trouble taking on the amount of frivolous cases they’re accustomed to. Consider this: every day we dismiss criminal charges, even of a serious nature, because we don’t have enough judges, prosecutors and sheriffs to process the backlog of cases. Yet we spend millions and millions on these commissions so they can, among other things, prosecute a comedian who insulted an intoxicated heckler who repeatedly interrupted his show. This federal government has never been shy about canceling funding to groups and organizations fond of spreading hate. It has already shown its commitment to human rights and its opponents would look hapless trying to accuse it of rolling back human rights by shutting down or gutting the commissions. Just as they’re willing to take some fallout for eliminating the gun registry and axing the political party subsidy, they should do the right thing and call it curtains on the country’s human rights commissions. Inquisitions and kangaroo courts have no place in this day and age. ◗ John Martin is a criminologist at the University of the FraserValley. John.Martin@ufv.ca.

Isn’t there a law against bribery? Apparently not when it’s a political exercise aimed at covering up blunders. B.C.’s government has announced that the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will be cut by two percentage points, from 12 per cent down to 10 per cent, by July 1, 2014… IF B.C. voters agree not to discard the controversial—and highly unpopular—tax in the upcoming mail-in referendum… IF the current government is still in power by the time July 1, 2014, rolls around… And IF the government doesn’t decide it can’t afford to cut its tax base and postpones the reduction until better economic times. Let’s face it, we’re having an HST (many would call it an “anti-HST”) referendum next month precisely because the folks making the decisions in Victoria can’t be trusted to be honest with us about their intentions. It’s plain our government was less than honest with us about the HST at the outset. Plans to implement the tax were hidden from public view, when they weren’t masked by outright lies. That dishonesty is why Christy Clark is premier of B.C., instead of Gordon Campbell. And that dishonesty is the chief underpinning for opposition to the HST. Knocking two percentage points off the tax is unlikely to take the bad taste out of the mouths of B.C. residents who were forced to eat it in the first place. What happens if the HST is killed? How do we repay the federal government’s $1.6 billion bribe to implement the HST? And if the HST is cut to 10 per cent, what is the real remaining cost to taxpayers? Unfortunately, the current government’s attempt at bribery will only put up a smokescreen around the issue of whether or not the HST should be abandoned in the June 24 referendum (actually more like a mail-in survey). It will remind voters of the dishonesty that brought us the tax in the first place, instead of helping us focus on the real pros and cons of keeping or discarding the HST.

Philosophically considering that laws of men are derived from the Laws of God, the highest authority, I can’t see how left-leaning candidates could support the protection and legal rights of the people through the Charter of Rights and Freedoms when they permit behaviour of the aforementioned. These kinds of decisions are not progressive, rather they mark the moral decay of our society. Taking an oath, the judges asked for help from God, but were they sincere? Let’s be sensible and treat people fairly. It is difficult to respect people who think they are more “special” by not wanting to integrate into society, but rather promulgating their public defiance to dignity of the person. Personally, I will welcome a right wing judge to the Senate because of the dignified perspective with which he or she can help shape our country. Darren Ollinger Chilliwack

Complain and plan will work? Editor: I have lived in the Chilliwack area all of my life and realize that to live in this beautiful community you need to co-exist with our farmers. They are, on the whole, very respectful. The past few years I and my neighbours have had to deal with the mess that is left behind by the farm equipment coming off the field and onto Carriage Way.

This problem began when a rezoning sign went up on this property. My guess is as good as yours. The developers are wanting the farm land out of the ALR. Complain and their dirty scheme may work. Shame. Michelle Miller Chilliwack

Get in the know about disorder Editor: Did you know that one in 300 Canadians have the genetic marker that can cause an iron overload disorder? Estimates are that 110,000 Canadians may have this disorder called hemochromatosis, but are unaware. If undiagnosed, the consequences are potentially fatal. My mother died at the age of 62 with undiagnosed hemochromatosis that we didn’t know about until after her death. It leaves us to wonder if she would still be alive if she had had the proper diagnosis or treatment. Diagnosis is difficult since symptoms are vague, often masking themselves as other more common conditions, such as liver disease, arthritis, heart problems or even diabetes. May is Hemochromatosis Awareness Month. We are on a mission to encourage Canadians to learn more about the warning signs of iron overload disorder by visiting www.toomuchiron.ca, the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society website. Talk to your doctor, because a simple test may save your life or the life of a loved one. If we can save even one life through awareness of iron overload, we have made a difference. G.

Editor: Re: May 26 column, “Who pays for private schooling” by Mathew Claxton. Mr. Claxton states there are 69,000 students in “private” schools receiving between 35 and 50 per cent of the funding provided to public school districts for student enrolled in public schools. His plan: completely cut all funding and thus save the 35 to 50 per cent amount given to these institutions and beef up the monies to the public system and let the “private” schools “. . . sink or swim.” Suppose they all sink and now the public system (based upon 30 students/ classroom) would require a minimum of 2,300 additional classrooms for the 69,000 and probably more. I suppose 2,300 additional teachers would also be required for those classrooms too. Secondly, the amount of the current 35 to 50 per cent funding to the “private” schools would become 100 per cent to the public system. I write this as Mr. Claxton has failed to see the financial ramification of his plan, from my perspective the “private” schools save taxpayers money. Finally, I am retired, have never worked as a teacher or associated with anything concerning education nor sent any of my children to a “private” school. D. Iceton Chilliwack

h e Va n c o u v e r W h i t e c a p s crushed the Rush before some 900 enthusiastic fans Friday evening at Exhibition Stadium. The Whitecaps defeated the Colorado Rush 3-0 in a USL W-League regular season game thanks to a pair of goals from star Tiffany Weimer. Vancouver dominated the game and Weimer had several early chances to thrill the Chilliwack crowd but Colorado keeper Krissy Tribbett proved up to the challenge. In the 40th minute, however, a Krista Kruse pass sliced open the Rush defence and allowed Weimer to run onto the ball and calmly place it by Tribbett for the opening goal. The Whitecaps continued to press and, midway through the second half,

put the game out of reach with two goals in six minutes. Alysha Bonnick scored from five yards out before Weimer earned herself a penalty, then just managed to squeak the ensuing shot past Tribbett to seal the win. Vancouver outshot Colorado 16-9 on the night and has now won their first three games of the season. The Whitecaps wore pink jerseys during the game and, following the victory, the uniforms were auctioned off. Proceeds from the auction and from ticket sales went towards cancer research. In all, more than $2,000 was raised and hundreds thrilled, to the delight of Chilliwack FC chair Andrea Laycock. “It was excellent, the atmosphere was

good, the crowd was into the game and the Whitecaps won,” Laycock said. “I was impressed. That’s the highest level for women’s soccer in the province and those girls are unbelievable.” She said the interaction between local players and the Whitecaps was an invaluable experience. Some 60 local soccer players took part in pre-game clinics held by the Whitecaps and their coaching staff, youngsters escorted the teams onto the field and others carried flags and helped retrieve balls. Both sides, it turns out, were happy with how the night turned out. “The Whitecaps are very keen to come back again,” said Laycock. “One of the first things they said afterwards is ‘we’ve got to do it again.’”

Southpaw tosses no-hitter . . . twice BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

f Ty Walker had thrown a no-hitter before this month, he can’t remember it. There was reason to celebrate, then, when the Fraser ValleyChiefs’Chilliwack-bred southpaw rolled through the lineup of the high-powered Langley Blaze without allowing so much as a base hit. The teams play in the the B.C. Premier Baseball League and the Blaze featured four Canadian Junior National Team members, but Walker was nearly flawless, allowing only a single walk. Still, he didn’t want to get a big head. “I felt really confident going into my next game,” he said, “but I had to keep a level head and not . . . think, well, this is easy I can do it again.” But here’s the thing: he did do it again, and in his very next game. Seven more innings. No hits. No runs. Eleven strikeouts. And just another measly walk surrendered in the sixth inning. “I’m going to say it’s the first time in league history that not only a team, but the same pitcher, went back-toback with no hitters,” marvelled the Chiefs’ general manager Paul Hargreaves. That second no-hitter has confirmed to Walker, who last November signed

a scholarship to play for the NCAA Division 1 South Dakota State Jackrabbits, that he can thrive at a high level of ball. “Just doing it once is impressive, but to do it twice in a row, I don’t think anybody else in the league had done that before, and with that comes some recognition from other coaches and other programs and that feels great.” If Walker continues his pitching prowess, opposing batters may just start throwing in the towel when they see him on the mound. This weekend, facing the Okanagan Athletics, Walker struck out 10 opposing batters and surrendered just four hits en route to a 12-1 victory. Since giving up three runs in his first outing in mid-April, Walker has allowed only two runs over 38 innings for an ERA of 0.64. His 64 strikeouts are more than double that of the nextbest pitcher. For Walker, the stats help validate the decision he and his family made to attend Sands secondary in North Delta, which is home to a baseball academy. “That makes me feel both proud of myself and proud of the program that I’m with,” said Walker.

Our mayor an inspiration for Cambodians Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO) president John Jansen on Thursday. With Sokundara translating, Kosal told the Times the biggest difference he has seen here compared to his home nation was how developed our country is and what a large stock of natural and human resources we have. He said he was also impressed by the promotion of women in local government, something he is trying to do more of at home. “We also have programs like this but only with elected women politicians,” he said. “We forget to mobilize in the countryside and in the

r. C h r i s B e r t r a m started his post-secondary education in a small, student-focused institution that featured lots of student–faculty interaction, and he has ended up teaching in a similar place. Ber tram, who lives in Chilliwack and teaches in Abbotsford, and who has been teaching kinesiology at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) since 2003, is this year’s winner of the UFV Teaching Excellence Award. His educational journey led him from the athletic therapy diploma program at Calgary’s Mount Royal College (with an original goal of becoming a sports medicine physician), through a bachelor’s and master’s degree in science at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and a PhD in kinesiology at Simon Fraser University.

“I take my role as an educator very seriously, so it is a huge honour for me to receive this award,” said Bertram, who in addition to his teaching is actively involved in several research projects at UFV. One of Bertram’s other passions is golf. He is the coach of the very successful UFV men’s golf team (and the B.C. Collegiate coach of the year), and also conducts research on methods of improving the golf swing in partnership with Cleveland Golf/Srixon Canada. “I love the technical and psychological side of golf,” he says. Bertram recently became kinesiology department head at UFV. He will receive his award June 10 at 2:30 p.m. at the UFV convocation ceremony at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre.

There are few families that haven’t been touched and affected.” Sokundara and Kosal nodded in agreement. After visiting Cambodia in March, Jansen, too, said the experience was humbling to see how much we have. And he was amazed at the Cambodian people’s spirit. “What impressed me was to see the entrepreneurial spirit of the people,” Jansen said.

Gaetz said speaking with the Cambodians was humbling as they traded stories. For example, talk of irrigating fields in Chilliwack led the Cambodians to point out how this

say when a professional should be appointed. Executors can always hire professionals to advise and assist them in the administration of the estate. However, executors cannot leave important decisions, like whether to sell an asset or whether to invest in shares or bonds, to others. If your will is particularly complex, you may feel that family members or friends do not have the necessary experience, time and skills to be your executor. A trust company, lawyer, or accountant may be the solution. Profession the tax law, investment management, real estate or business administration which is required to administer your estate.

However, your executor has the right to be paid for his or her services. If you did not make any provision for payment in your will, your executor can apply to the Probate Court for a reasonable fee. There are two reasons why you should make arrangements to pay your executor: 1. you clearly authorize your executor to pay himself or herself and 2. you set a maximum

HST REFERENDUM

JUNE 13 - JULY 22, 2011

Sardis secondary grad and UFV Trades & Tech student Morgan Cox (left) won gold at the recent B.C. Skills competition.

He’s wired to win

ith one gold medal under his belt, Sardis secondary grad and University of the Fraser Valley electrical wiring student Morgan Cox is heading to Quebec with the hopes of mining more gold. Cox, along with several UFV trades students, won top honours at the recent Skills B.C. competition—an annual event where trades and technology students are tested in timed competitions, putting their skills to practical use. Cox won gold in the postsecondary electrical wiring competition, while Andrew Graham and Russell Foster won gold and silver, respectively, in the secondary electrical wiring competition. In the architectural draft-

ing competition (secondary division), Aaron Spitters won gold, and Bentley Klassen won gold in the carpentry (secondary division). For Cox, who has a couple of years of work experience under his belt already, completing UFV’s electrical wiring certificate program is a measured step in a carefully thought-out career plan. “I like the electrical trade and it can lead to a steady job, so I thought I might as well go and get my red seal and get something official under my belt,” he says. Cox, who grew up in Hope, was homeschooled until Grade 10, attended Hope Secondary school, and then transferred to Sardis Secondary where he graduated in 2005.

Community

Healthy Kids Day at the Y Teaching children and their families healthier habits

he Chilliwack Family YMCA hosts its annual YMCA Healthy Kids Day on Saturday. Designed to help kids and families embrace healthy habits that can become a lifelong practice, the free community event will focus on fun and engaging activities, practical information and simple ways to be healthier in spirit, mind and body. “Only seven per cent of youth and 15 per cent of adults in Canada meet daily physical activity requirements,” said Sheri Josephson, general manager of the Chilliwack Family YMCA. “We hope to engage people in fun and exciting ways, helping them want to take steps to living healthier lifestyles.” Although the Chilliwack Family YMCA models and incorporates healthy practices into its programs and activities for children and youth year-round, YMCA Healthy Kids Day places special emphasis on teaching children and youth and their families about exploring healthy living habits that will make a difference throughout their life.

B.C. has the lowest HST rate in Canada, making our province an attractive place to foreign investors and for existing business to expand.

HST‛s one tax system reduces the amount of time and money B.C. businesses spend on administration by about $150 million per year.

Decide for yourself. Learn more at HSTinBC.ca

HST‛s single tax system reduces costs for B.C. businesses. That helps strengthen the economy, create jobs, and makes us more competitive internationally.

Consumers have to pay the HST on the end product. But since businesses no longer pay embedded taxes during the manufacturing process, their savings can be passed onto the consumer.
