The owner of an Indian res-taurant in Chilliwack whoreceived a racist email lastweek received messages
of apology from the same addressMonday morning.
Bay Leaf Restaurant owner SumitGulati told the RCMP about theFeb. 28 email in which an anony-mous writer said the business,
which has been open for morethan two years, will fail.
“I promise you, if your restaurantstays in Chilliwack, it will never suc-ceed,” the writer using a Hushmail.com address said. “Tell your peoplethis is not a good place for them. .. . Your people come from a third-
world India living in mud housesand drinking cow piss and bathingin milk.”
The writer also said he is “well con-nected” in the city. He ended the mes-sage with:“Let us live in peace withouthaving to see your kind here.”
An identical email was also sent to
the owners of Chilliwack’s only otherIndian restaurant, Shandhar Hut.
The story was picked up by anumber of media outlets as far awayas India where the Hindustan Timesposted a story on its website Sunday.
Early Monday morning, Gulatireceived three more email messages
in which the anonymous writer saidhe or she was sorry.
“I would like to apologize for theidiotic and hateful e-mail I sentrecently,” the message received at12:03 a.m. Monday began. “AlthoughI will not reveal my identity, what Iwill admit is I am a restaurant ownerand trying to eliminate competition.I was having a very bad day, businessis slow and have some mental health

Constance Herrington is alive,again.
After being accidentally killedoff—on paper, at least—in February,the 78-year-old grandmother hasrejoined the land of the living in thebooks of the federal government.
In February, Herrington returnedhome from a Family Day excursionin Bellingham to open her mail andlearn the government thought shewas dead.
A notice mailed to “the estate ofConstance Herrington” served noticethat the government was clawingback GST/HST tax credit funds paidout since the Chilliwack woman’ssupposed death.
Herrington, of course, is very muchalive and kicking.
“This is the first indication that Ihad that I was dead,” Herrington toldthe Times. “I thought it was a joke.”
It was no joke, though.As she set about trying to resur-
rect herself, the retired BC Gaminginvestigator found the problem waseven worse than a missing GST rebatecheque.
Well-versed in the intricacies of gov-ernment and bureaucracy, Herringtonimmediately visited her bank, whereshe discovered she hadn’t receivedmoney due her from the Old Age Pen-sion and the Canada Pension Plan.
At that point, Herrington figured theproblem had reached Vital Statistics,the agency that keeps track of whois dead and who is alive. But she wasangered when she was told the statis-tics agency wanted a $25 fee to inves-tigate whether she was actually alive.
“I said over my dead body I’m going
to pay $25 to Vital Statistics,” saidHerrington, who retained her abilityto laugh at her presumed passing.
Herrington also wondered “Whendid I die?’
The answer depended on who youask. Dec. 6 is when the provincial GST/HST rebate authorities thought Her-rington drew her last breath. But theCanadian Pension Plan consideredHerrington deceased as of Dec. 15.
Herrington wrote letters to VitalStatistics and the other agencies whobelieved her dead and appeared onTV to talk about her case. She told theTimes that a death certificate shouldbe required to end pension paymentswhen a person dies and that her caseillustrated the difficulties in navigat-ing the tentacles of Ottawa bureau-cracy.
“There should be a complaints cen-tre—a main head of the octopus thatyou could go to.”
On Friday, though, it became clearthat Herrington had managed to findthat head.
“I have been resurrected as of thismorning!” she told the Times.
She later said a government repre-sentative had apologized profuselyfor the error and explained that thedeath of another woman with thesame name had led to the problem.Somebody at CPP had pushed “thewrong button,” and while the mix-uphad been caught, a presumed solu-tion hadn’t actually been acted on.
Herrington’s pension cheques areon the way and she has been prom-ised that officials are looking to rem-edy the holes in the system that hercase revealed.
“They did apologize all over theplace and say, ‘We’ve got to fix thissystem.”
issues I need to resolve.”But Gulati doesn’t buy it.“He’s just trying to clear his name
because of everything in the media,”he told the Times at the Bay Leaf onMonday.
After reporting the email to theRCMP on Feb. 28, the anonymousemailer sent a message to police thatsame day also saying he was “having abad day and mental health issues.”
He also asked what law he had vio-lated.
Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth of the
Chilliwack RCMP said an investigatoris on the file and has been in contactwith the hate crimes unit.
“We are still trying to determine ifthere is sufficient evidence to sup-port any charges,” she said. “We arenot going to be ruling anything out.Certainly this is not something we aregoing to dismiss.”
Gulati said about 16 days ago some-one threw eggs at his Sardis home anda few months ago someone dumpedchicken bones on his doorstep.
Gulati immigrated from India toCanada three-and-a-half years agobecause of the standard of living andbecause the country is a land of immi-grants. He said that while the incidentupset him and scared his family, hehas been buoyed by the hundreds ofemails and phone calls of support hehas received.
“The people do not accept this,” hesaid.
While talking with the Times, localrealtor and founder of Cash Mob
Chilliwack Scott McVetty came in tothe restaurant to talk to Gulati. CashMob events involve local shoppersdescending on a retail location tospend money and support local busi-nesses.
McVetty asked Gulati if he couldhandle a Cash Mob influx this Friday.The restaurant owner said he wel-comes the group.
Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz saidon Facebook that a Cash Mob was agood idea.
“Love will always win over hate andhungry diners may relieve some of thesting!” she wrote.
Reports of her death greatly exaggerated

Residential property taxes are set torise by 3.44 per cent in Chilliwack thisyear as part of the 2013 financial plan
that city council was scheduled to vote on atTuesday’s meeting.
The increases are needed to cover infla-tion, transit services, the new Sardis Library’soperating costs and the RCMP, according toa staff report.
Policing alone accounts for 30 per centof city hall expenditures. The 2013 budgetfor cops has increased by $841,500, whichincludes an annual RCMP contract adjust-ment, one additional member and a supportposition.
Homeowners can likely expect a similartax increase next year as the 2014 budgetincludes the addition of two more officers.
The pro-rated amount of $640,000 in oper-ating expenses for the new Sardis Library setto open in May accounts for one per cent ofthe tax increase, according to city hall.
That full operating cost will be $1,027,000for 2014.
The 3.44 per cent rate increase is similarto those in recent years and continues thetrend of local taxpayers paying some of thelowest rates in the Lower Mainland.
Last year, director of finance Chris Cros-man said the average Chilliwack homeownerpaid a little more than $1,400 in municipaltaxes, second lowest in the Lower Mainlandand $456 below average.
When utilities and regional district taxes
are included, a Chilliwack home paid justover $3,000, the lowest of 18 Lower Mainlandmunicipalities and $1,186 below the aver-age.
Property taxes also increased 3.45 per centin 2011. Council approved increases of 3.95per cent in 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007. Therewas a 3.85 per cent tax increase in 2006.
“Chilliwack has been able to maintain thistaxation level while building new facilitiesand meeting financial obligations, withoutadding municipal debt,” according to thethe staff report.
Water and sewer rates will also increasethis year by 3.44 per cent, and the increase incurbside waste collection planned for 2013is four per cent.
Staff have also recommended an increasein the $46-per-tonne tipping fee for residen-tial and commercial yard trimmings at theParr Road Green Depot.
The recommendation is to increase thefee to $50 per tonne, a rate that is still lowerthan Mission ($60), Abbotsford ($63), Sur-rey ($63), Maple Ridge ($63) and the NorthShore ($71), according to staff.
The finance department has also recom-mended an inflationary increase—1.85 percent for single-family homes—in develop-ment cost charges (DCC).
City council was scheduled to give intro-duction and the first three readings to thebylaws covering increases to DCCs, utilitiesand the 2013 financial plan.
Final adoption of the bylaws will be doneafter a public information meeting onMarch 19.

When Dave Clyne firstmet 11-year-old KieranO’Donnell eight yearsago, he was afraid he’d
met his match.The veteran teacher was just
three months away from retirementafter a 32-year teaching career thatincluded six years of teaching learn-ing disabled kids to read in the now-defunct District Resource Program.
But O’Donnell would prove to bea special case.
After six years in the Chilliwackschool district, the Grade 5 studentcould only remember the alphabetto the letter E, and tests revealed hislanguage skills were at a mid-kinder-garten level.
His mom Tracy, who had triedunsuccessfully to get him into theDistrict Resource Program before,envisioned a bleak future for herson if the program didn’t turn thingsaround.
“If you can’t read and you can’twrite and you can barely talk, you’renot going to be going anywhere,”she said. “He would drop out, getinto drugs and go to jail or die early;those were my thoughts.”
But things didn’t look good eventwo months into the district’s inten-sive three-month program.
“At the end of two months we kindof figured maybe this boy was onewho wasn’t going to be able to read,”Clyne said.
At that point few could have pre-dicted where O’Donnell would endup today.
In January he graduated fromSardis secondary with his Dogwooddiploma.
And reading?“I can only read books I like,” he
said, “but once I get into them, Idon’t stop. I read for hours.”
For anyone in the publicschool system looking for ways tohelp learning disabled studentsovercome reading difficulties,O’Donnell’s transformation is spinetingling.
But it’s also double-edged.On one hand it shows a district
program, a parent, teachers, admin-istrators and even school trustees allpulling together to help one studentovercome profound challenges.
On the other, it involves sucha perfect storm of exceptional
circumstances that the peopleinvolved can’t help but think ofO’Donnell’s story as the exception,rather than the rule, when it comesto students with severe readingchallenges.
“The tragedy is that there’s kidsthat the system can’t accommo-date,” Clyne said.
Even before he started kinder-garten, O’Donnell’s struggles withmemory and language seemed des-tined to make him one of these.
Tracy remembers one timewhen her son was four years oldand playing with other kids in theneighbourhood. When anothermom asked him his name, he ranhome to get Tracy to say it for him.
“He couldn’t remember his nameand he could barely talk,” she said.
O’Donnell’s inability to communi-
cate took an emotional toll.“If someone said something to
him and it hurt his feelings, hehad no words to say ‘You hurt myfeelings,’ or ‘No, stop,’ or thingslike that, so he would vibrate,” shesaid. “His whole body would shake
with frustration.”Once he started school, it didn’t
take long for that to translate intobehaviour problems.
“I felt like I was trapped in a box,”O’Donnell said. “All I knew was basicwords, so I got along, but once anargument happened, it wouldn’tgo well with me because I couldn’texpress my feelings properly.”
He vented his frustration byfighting and screaming, and oftenhe wouldn’t do as teachers toldhim.
He repeated kindergarten, andby the time he switched out of hisfirst Chilliwack elementary schoolin Grade 4, Tracy says she’d beentold he would never learn to read.
Those years are blurry for
the Exceptionrather than the rule

Retired teacher Dave Clyne, Sardis grad Kieran O’Donnell and mom Tracy O’Donnell forged an eight-year partnership to overcome serious learning disabilitiesthat made Kieran’s recent graduation a long shot.
Kieran O’Donnell’sjourney towardsliteracy is nothingless than inspiring
“If you can’t read andyou can’t write and youcan barely talk, you’renot going to be goinganywhere. He would dropout, get into drugs and goto jail or die early; thosewere my thoughts.”

Prosecutors have asked for a psychologi-cal or psychiatric assessment of a manconvicted Friday of pulling a knife on a
Chilliwack woman, confining her to a back-yard shed and threatening to slit her throat.
Judge Kenneth Skilnick convicted ShaunThorpe on charges of aggravated assault, forc-ible confinement and uttering threats in con-nection to the attack last may.
Despite Thorpe’s declaration that he wasactually the victim, Skilnick said he had nodoubt that the 23-year-old man had initiatedthe attack early in the morning of May 5, 2012.
At trial, the court had heard the woman hadleft a birthday party on Princess Avenue andwas walking along the street when Thorpeoffered her a beer.While they were in the back-yard, Thorpe pushed the woman into the shedand commenced his knife attack.
A struggle ensued in the backyard shed,where Thorpe held a knife to the victim’s throat
and asked her: “Do you want me to slit yourthroat right now?”
The victim testified that she thought she wasgoing to die and said that, with the knife at herthroat, she reached into her purse, grabbedher phone and hit Thorpe in the head as hardas she could.
The woman was able to escape Thorpe, andtestified he made several other strange remarksto her, including: “I’m a pawn, you’re a pawn,”and “There is a gun to my head.”
Immediately following the attack, Thorpetold police the woman had pulled the knife onhim and had tried to rob him. He later changedhis story, but maintained that he hadn’t perpe-trated the assault.
But Skilnick didn’t find his account credible,saying it was “at odds with the independent evi-dence.”Inparticular,Skilnicksaiditdidn’texplainthe injuries to the victim, particularly the knifewounds she sustained on both her hands.
Those injuries, Skilnick said, were consistentwith those sustained while trying to defendoneself from a knife attack.
Students at Chilliwack secondary schoolwere confined to their classrooms Thurs-day afternoon as police descended on the
school to investigate a threat.“A message was located in the school. It
indicated a veiled non-specific threat,” RCMPspokesperson Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said.
The threat came just hours after the schoolhad held a routine lockdown practice drill inthe morning.
Police responded, but both Mounties andschool officials stressed the school was neverin lockdown.
“Lockdown procedures occur when we havean active shooter scenario,” Hollingsworth
explained. “What we were doing was a hold-and-secure. There’s been some sort of indi-cation there’s been a potential threat to thestudents, so we were just doing a hold-and-secure to keep everything safe before we couldfigure out what was happening.”
Students were released, as scheduled, at 2:45p.m. They were given letters to give to parents.
The letter was signed by principal Rick Jonesand said, in part:
“There was a highly visible police presenceand the police are taking precautions at thispoint. There is no reason to believe that ourstudents and staff are at risk or there is jeop-ardy to anyone’s safety.”
Accused says he was victim

Asmall local contingent looking topublicly present the Chilliwackschool board with a petition sup-
porting Gideon Bibles in local publicschools had to settle for a private presen-tation last Tuesday.
The petition’s creator Mike Unruhstood up during public participation atthe school board’s meeting and asked ifhe could present the petition.
At first, interim chair Walt Krahn saidyes, but trustee Doug McKay pointedout the topic was not on the meeting’sagenda.
Unruh returned to his seat and pre-
sented his 316-signature online petitionto the board after the meeting.
His petition is now one of at least threelocal petitions supporting the Bibles,including a 400-signature petition fromthe Chilliwack Alliance Church and a140-name petition from First AvenueChurch.
Unruh’s wife, Stacy, isn’t surprised thepetitions have taken off.
“We had a feeling that we just open thedoor and it’s going to flow,” she said.
Another member of the group, BobHorn, said keeping the free Bibles as anoption for public school students is afreedom of religion issue
“It’s not just the Christian faith that’sunder attack,” he said. “It’s the freedom
that is represented in Canada.”The controversy over Gideon Bibles
erupted last October when local parentRichard Ajabu complained to the districtabout a parent permission form for a freeBible his daughter was given at school.
He wants the Gideons’ giveaway tostop because he says it violates the BCSchool Act, which calls for schools to be“strictly secular and non-sectarian.”
A BC Humanist Association onlinepetition calling for an end to the Gideonsactivity now has 402 signatures.
The Chilliwack school board has givendistrict staff until the end of March tocome up with recommendations for apolicy governing the distribution of allmaterials to students in local schools.
Thursday morning to flush the pipesagain and resample the water as perprotocol.
The use of the standby chlorinationsystem in the main water distributionsystem means the entire city, not justGreendale, now has chlorinated water.
“Unfortunately this is unavoidable,” anote on the city’s website says.
Director of public works GlenMacPherson said he is currently over-seeing an investigation into what mighthave caused the positive test result.Once that investigation is completed,the results will be passed on to the FraserHealth Authority (FHA), which has thefinal say on turning off the chlorination.
MacPherson said he couldn’t com-ment on if the chlorination could extenddays, weeks or months.
And while the current chlorination isbeing done with an emergency system,and that system is not designed for full-
time use, MacPherson said it could veryquickly be converted.
The positive E. coli test elicited shock,surprise and even a little suspicionamong residents as it came less than24 hours after hundreds of residentsattended a meeting to give FHA bureau-crats a piece of their mind about a chlo-rination edict issued Feb. 5.
Chief medical health officer Dr. PaulVan Buynder told residents that Chilli-wack has a great source of drinkingwater but that secondary disinfection isthe only way to ensure the end productwill always be safe.
“We need more than just really goodwater in the ground,” Van Buynder said.“We need really good water at the tap.”
A petition against water chlorinationat www.chilliwackwater.com had morethan 4,400 signatures by Monday after-noon.
Some tips on reducing the taste andodour of chlorine in tap water from thecity’s website:◗ The simplest thing you can do is to filla jug with water and keep it in the fridgefor drinking. Much of the chlorine willleave the water if left overnight. Coldwater also tastes and smells better thanwater at room temperature.◗ Using a water jug with a filter, such asa Brita filter jug, will remove the chlo-rine from your water and the jug canbe kept full in your fridge. Water can bedrank as soon as it has filtered into thejug.◗ There are various faucet-mountedwater filters available at most homeimprovement and department stores.These filters simply attach onto yourexisting faucet and chlorine is filteredfrom the water as it comes out of thetap.

The Chilliwack school districtspends $1.42 for every dollarof special education funding
it gets from the B.C. government.Does that mean special ed in
Chilliwack is swimming in extraresources?
Not according to special educa-tion consultant David Carter.
Speech-language services arestretched, psychology services arestretched, education assistants arestretched, resource teachers arestretched, principals are stretchedand many parents are fed up.
“Demands appear to constantlyrise along with expectations whileresources appear insufficient andtime never really stretches!” wroteCarter in a 36-page special educa-tion report commissioned by thedistrict.
We’re not alone, though, andChilliwack is actually on the lowend when it comes to spendingmore than it gets on special ed.
“This system, British Columbia,is tight,” Carter told trustees at ameeting last Tuesday.
When it comes to the big picture,there are really only two thingsthe school board and district cando, he said: keep advocating foradequate resources and make themost of the ones they have.
Trustee Doug McKay shruggedoff the first suggestion.
Boards of education have a“vested interest” when it comes tothe provincial government, he said,and the province isn’t “typicallyvery receptive to us going and ask-ing them for extra money.”
He’s got a point.
CowichanValley, the last boardthat tried to squeeze extra moneyout of the province (by passing adeficit budget last spring), got fired.
But there’s no way local trusteesand district administrators can shrugoff Carter’s second point.
When it come to making themost of the resources the districthas, the buck stops with them.
They might not be able to hire apersonal speech-language pathol-ogist for every kid who needs oneor 10 education assistants for everyclassroom teacher, but they canfind better ways to do things.
And the best way to make thathappen is for everyone to put theirheads together.
It’s no surprise Carter’s recom-mendations include suggestionsfor getting more stakeholder input.
Along with annual polls of spe-cial education parents, he suggestsreinstating the district’s studentservices advisory committee.
That’s funny because local par-ent Don Davis recently made thatexact same suggestion to the boardand got no response.
With funds tight, it’s time theChilliwack school board startedconsidering ideas from peoplelike Davis carefully instead ofwaiting to hear them from well-
paid consultants.To cite a few more examples,
just over a year ago, former SchoolDistrict No. 33 speech-languagepathologist Jacqui Rowe, a profes-sional with 44 years experience,wrote a letter to the board outlin-ing what she thought were seriousproblems in the district’s specialeducation department.
Many of the problems she high-lighted are reiterated (albeit moredelicately) in Carter’s recommen-dations, but last year the boardsat on her letter for more than amonth without even discussing itbefore she got fed up and talked tothe press.
In the meantime, educationassistant Kathi Friesen unleashedan outburst of emotional parentcomplaints after she stood up at apublic meeting and told trusteesthe district needed to do a better jobeducating its students with autism.
Turns out Carter agrees moreautism specialist support is neededhere—one of Friesen’s main points.
A year ago, though, a majority oftrustees favoured huddling with stu-dent services staff in the face of criti-cism instead of forming the ad hoccommittee with community repre-sentation parents were calling for.
If the school board and senioradministrators are serious aboutmaking the most out of theiroverburdened special educationresources, they’re going to have tobe a whole lot nimbler than theyhave been about turning publiccriticism and input into solutions.
Itdoesn’talwayshavetotakeayearorapileofcostlyconsultingfees.
Ottawa’ssee no evilapproachA
report from the federal commis-sioner of the environment lre-cently points out once more thedisturbing way Ottawa has failed
to address legitimate concerns aboutB.C.’s pipeline proposals.
It’s just the latest in a series of less-than-reassuring developments.
Last month, Kinder Morgan announcedthat despite one set of figures used inpublic consultations last year, the com-pany actually wants to ship a lot moreoil—meaning more or bigger tankers inBurrard Inlet—or both. Last week, federalcommissioner Scott Vaughan informsus federal regulators are ill-prepared toaddress any kind of catastrophic oil spill.
In apparent confirmation of what activ-ists have said, Vaughan points out in hisreport that rules and resources in placeto deal with any major oil spill are whollyinadequate.
Among his findings: there is no formalprocess for updating an assessment ofrisks, no recognition of a huge antici-pated increase in West Coast tanker traf-fic and not enough money to handle thecosts of cleaning up spills.
Any costs not covered would inevitablyfall to the public purse.
Proponents of the projects, of course,don’t expect to see any oil spills.
But that is the nature of disaster prepa-ration—spending money and effort todeal with something we don’t expect tohappen.
We don’t expect ships to sink either, butwe still have federally mandated safetystandards and lifeboats meant to carryall passengers on board—not just someof them.
Ottawa’s insistence on seeing no evilwhen it comes to environmental riskshould make us all very nervous.

Editor:I know it is a short time into this
water situation but I already amexperiencing the effects of thechlorine. My shower stinks and mydrinking water tastes and smellsbad. So here we go.
The paper proclaimed that it was“an ironic twist” that another E.coli sample showed up. The onlything ironic was that Dr. Paul VanBuynder seemed to come up with“nick of time” evidence to supporthis moronic bid to pollute the purewater system in Chilliwack just tojustify his findings and dubiousstanding in the FHA pecking order.
As a long time worker in thefoods industry, it is commonknowledge that if fresh vegetablesand fruits are not properly cleanedfor processing, E. coli bacteria willand has caused severe problemsfor restaurants. Further investi-gation into the details of thesecontamination issues and food/water consumed for these times,they were not outbreaks but onlyscattered issues. If a person eatscontaminated vegetables andgets sick, it is possible that healthauthorities could overlap theresults of the tests.
Then there is the possibility thatsomeone has shares in a companythat supplies chlorinating equip-ment to counties/cities and thenthe contract for the required chlo-rine to keep polluting perfectlygood water sources.
Or maybe, there are certainpersons that wish to retain a solidposition in the ranks of the FHA.
Either way there are someskunks in the hen house.
You choose and investigate thesecontamination issues.
Give us back our pure water. Youcan’t improve on what God made.
Glen WarnerChilliwack
Don’t make our tapwater like Abby’sEditor:
Please do not chlorinateChilliwack’s water. If individualsare concerned about the safetyof Chilliwack’s water, they canbuy their own chlorine tablets, orinstall a water filter.
We have no proof that anyonehas ever become ill from drinkingChilliwack’s unchlorinated waterin the past. Let’s not destroy thebest drinking water in Canada.
I have had occasion to drink thetap water in Abbotsford and foundthe taste to be downright disgust-ing. I would hate to think thatChilliwack’s water would end upthe same.
Clemens HallChilliwack
The buck shouldstop with our MLAsEditor:
MLA John Les, instead of pos-turing and postulating, simplyneeds to change the legislationthat Fraser Health is enforcing.
How about changing theresponsibility for enforcement tothe municipalities? This would
allow them to do the math as towhether another full-time police-man or fireman is more likely tosave lives and prevent injury thandumping bleach in the water. Theworst water borne illness disasterin Canadian history, WalkertonOnt., occurred in a chlorinatedsystem.
Fraser Health is an out-of-con-trol bureaucracy. They can’t evenget their health care “profes-sionals” to get free flu shots andinstead spend tens of thousandsof dollars on face masks.
Lack of cost benefit analysis bythe health authorities is one ofthe reasons that health care costsare overwhelming the provincialbudget.
The buck stops with the provin-cial government MLAs. They con-trol the safe water legislation andare supposed to be responsible forhealth care.
John ElmoreChilliwack
Our water is pure,but they want moreEditor:
The Fraser Health Authorityhumoured us with a meeting lastweek, and Dr. Paul Van Buynderwas on hand to provide informa-tion and answer questions aboutthe chlorination of the water inChilliwack.
With measured words andconstant pacing the doctor ranthe clock by repeating himselfrepeatedly. It would seem thatchlorination is a provincial gov-ernment directive, and that iswhere changes could possiblybe effected, but not within theHealth Authority.
They would agree our water ispure, but they want it to be morepure. The poison is to be addedso as to possibly prevent possibleoutbreaks that are E. coli related.
He would not talk aboutalternate methods, or thesource of, and prevention of,contamination. Sadly, he did noteven know what the word manuremeant.

Christians shouldemulate RotariansEditor:
I am responding to the manypositive Chilliwack Rotary storiesin the Jan. 29 issue of the Chilli-wack Times.
It’s simply overwhelming, all thepositive efforts the Rotarians areengaged in making Chilliwack awelcome city to live in and also agreat tourist destination. In addi-tion to the Vedder River and HopeRiver walking trails, then so muchmore: scholarships both local andoverseas, agriculture ($12,500scholarship), book sales, meals onwheels, garden tours, Great HeronReserve, where does it end? Glob-ally there are 1.2 million membersin 34,000 clubs. The local Rotar-ians are certainly living up to theirmotto “Service to the Communityabove self.”
I wish this could be said aboutthe Christian church in thiscommunity to have this level ofcommitment to local needs andopportunities. Christians willagree with St. Paul, Galatians5:10- “Whenever we have theopportunity, we should do good toeveryone . . . .”
What does Jesus say about thelove of neighbour, the ultimatedefinition of the highest com-mand, “love of neighbour andGod.” This reminds me of themany recent stories in the localpress about the high crime levelin my hometown of Yarrow. Thentake it to the next level of the indif-ference of the local churches in notchallenging the believers to par-ticipate in Man to Man/Woman toWoman volunteer inmate friend-ship service.There is a growingnumber of inmates, presently 250,waiting, pleading, some weepingand even despairing, where are theChristians in this Bible Belt?
A recent Correction ServicesCanada survey of the effectivenessof the M2W2 program is amazing:82 per cent do not return to prison,only 18 per cent recidivism rate. Ahuge benefit when you considerthat an annual cost of $140,000to keep one inmate in prison nottaking the ancillary costs: propertyloss, legal costs and a climate offear in the community.
Chilliwack City RCMP budget isthe highest of any department at$18 million annually. Then factorin even greater benefits when eveninmates are rehabilitated, familiesand friends re-united, inmates findjobs. This is happening right inChilliwack and communities aremade safer including Chilliwackand Yarrow.
In conclusion, I would say to theChilliwack Christians, the Rotari-
an’s mission statement “Service tothe Community above self” is alsowell suited to Jesus mantra, “Loveof God and Neighbour.”
Let’s challenge each other,ministers, church elders, churchmembers let’s strive to makea difference in buiding a safer,friendlier community. The goal ofreducing the 250 is very realistic ifwe consider the many Christiansin the extended Bible Belt of theFraser Valley and the Lower Main-land. Let’s be the “Salt and Light”we claim to be.

CSS reunion eventa dream come trueEditor:
This past weekend’s CSS Hello...Goodbye Reunion for Chilliwacksenior graduates from 1950 to2012 (including this year’s Classof 2013!) to celebrate before theold building is demolished andthe new school brought to life wasbeyond spectacular.
From soldout Friday nightsocials held all over the communi-ty to the many amazing events onSaturday hosting throngs of paststudents of every age, school spiritcould be found everywhere.
The halls of the old school werealive with reunions and storytell-ing. Saturday night came alive withfive bands blazing the stage withChilliwack talent and the AgRecCenter filled with 1,500 celebratingtogether until closing.
The only drawback from theweekend is that now, with a brandnew plethora of memories andstories of old and new friendsoriginating from the building thatbrought us all together in the firstplace, it makes it doubly hard towatch her go down.
On behalf of the planning com-mittee of Hello...Goodbye, we wishto thank our incredible sponsors,volunteers and former grads (fromall points around the world), whofueled this event to be over andabove what any of us originallydreamed it to be.

Found care at CGHto be outstandingEditor:
I wish to write this letter toacknowledge the excellence ofthe nurses and doctors of theChilliwack General Hospital in thematernity ward in particular.
My wife has recently deliveredour second child and sufferedfrom a severe case of HyperemesisGravidarum. She was extremelysick for all of her pregnancy, andwe were in several hospitals overthe course of her pregnancy. Welive in the Shuswap and it wasnecessary to come to Chilliwack inorder to get the care she needed.Nowhere did we receive the levelof care we came to know at theChilliwack General Hospital in thematernity department.
We had regular daily visits frommore than one doctor who took
every measure to care for my wife.The nursing staff in this depart-ment are second to none. Thelevel of care my wife receivedwas the best anyone could haveever hoped for. She was made tofeel comfortable and every effortwas made in her care. They haveextremely advanced skills and thebedside manner they displayedleft us feeling a great need to showthe nurses and doctors at Chilli-wack General recognition. Theywere compassionate and caringand diligent in doing their jobs. Wegot to know them on a small leveland I can’t say enough good thingsabout these people who helpedmy wife and I through this terribleaffliction.
All of these things combinedgave us hope that we could makeit through this tough time andallowed my wife to see some lightat the end of the tunnel. When Iasked the nurses what is behindthis staff performing so much bet-ter than other hospitals, I receiveda couple of answers. The first beingthat they put the patient first andthis really shows. The second, isthat they work well together as afamily. This also is very apparent inthe unbelievably high level of carethey provided.
My message boils down to this:To the doctors and nurses of theChilliwack General Hospital in thematernity department, we thankyou from the bottom of our heartsfor the things you did for us! Youdeserve recognition and commen-dation for how well you do yourjobs and going above and beyond!

Unbalanced methodbudget accountingEditor:
A balanced budget the Liberalsstate—what a joke.
How can anyone call a budget“balanced” when in order to do sothere was more than $327 millionin tax increases and also the sellingoff of our assets—valuable landthat this party refers to as ‘govern-ment lands.’ It is not the govern-ment’s, it is ours—the taxpayers.This is land that we will never beable to buy back and will not haveit to sell for possible unforeseennecessities, because it was used asLiberal bailout money.
We were told by the currentgovernment that the election wasbetween a high-spending NDPparty and a low-spending privateenterprise Liberal party. This wasa lie, a lie they paid for us to hearwith our own money.
They continue to spread theirmyths with expensive televisionads. The Liberals obviously mis-managed money so badly that theyhad to have a fire sale—selling offour valuable land plus increasingtaxes.
I do not want these incompe-tents managing my money.

Shutout gives Chiefs home iceBY TYLER [email protected]
Apair of power play goals andJosh Halpenny’s first-everJunior A shutout Saturday
helped the Chilliwack Chiefs guar-antee themselves home ice advan-tage in the first round of the BCHLplayoffs.
After falling 4-3 Friday to theLangley Rivermen, the Chiefs beatthe lowly Cowichan Valley Capitals3-0 Saturday at Prospera Centre towrap up second place in the Main-land Division with two games left inthe regular season.
The Chiefs have struggled in 2013,with just four wins in their last 13games. But despite Friday’s loss toLangley, head coach Harvey Smylsays his team is moving in the rightdirection as the playoffs approach.
“I thought we played better,” hesaid of Friday’s loss. “I thought wecompeted with a team that was roll-ing really well. I thought we werebetter defensively.”
The Chiefs fell behind 2-0 in thefirst period but rallied and tied thegame on goals by Trevor Hills andJosh Hansen.
Chilliwack had eight minutesof power play time in the second
period, but Langley’s speedy for-wards were just as dangerous. Aftertwo failed shorthanded breakaways,Evan Campbell beat Mitch Gillam togive Langley the lead.
The Chiefs soon made amends,scoring on the same power play,thanks to Spencer Graboski, to tiethe game entering the third. Butthe Rivermen had the last laughwhen they scored on their ownman advantage six minutes intothe period.
While he felt the Chiefs wereprobably second best on the night,Smyl sounded satisfied with histeam’s effort and defensive play, if
not the result.He added: “We’re getting better
in terms of eliminating second andthird chances.”
On Saturday, the Chiefs faced aCapitals team that has been playingout the streak. But Cowichan Valleyhas also proven a dangerous teamto too-casual opponents, havingbeaten the league-leading VictoriaGrizzlies in back-to-back games justtwo weeks ago.
Saturday’s game looked like itcould head in that direction after theChiefs failed to capitalize on their

The UFV Cascades women’s bas-ketball team defeated the Uni-versity of Alberta Pandas 68-57
Saturday to clinch the third and finalCanada West berth in the 2013 CISFinal 8 tournament.
The berth is the first ever for the Cas-cades, who have failed to advance fromCIS regional tournaments the past twoyears.
The Cascades—whose core includesfive Chilliwack-area women, includ-ing four Chilliwack secondary schoolgrads—trailed for most of the night butrallied in the fourth quarter to claimthe Canada West bronze medal.
The Pandas dominated in the firsthalf and led by eight points at the turn.But UFV narrowed the lead in the thirdquarter and then outscored Alberta 30-
15 in the final 10 minutes to claim thewin.
The Cascades were led by the tan-dem of Chilliwack’s Nicole Wierksand Columbia Valley’s Kayli Sartori.Both put up matching 17-point, sev-en-rebound efforts, with Sartori add-ing five assists and a pair of blocks toher stat line. Aieisha Luyken added15, mostly from the outside as shesplashed four of her seven chancesfrom long range. Sarah Wierks matchedthe seven-rebound efforts of her sister,Nicole, and Sartori.
The other two CSS grads—AlexaMcCarthy and Courtney Bartel—eachplayed more than 20 minutes in thevictory.
“Alberta came in really energizedand motivated to tonight’s game,” UFV
head coach Al Tuchscherer said. “Webattled through the first half to keepthings close which was key. Midwaythrough the third I thought we reallyregrouped and started really believingin the things we do well. It was a greatfourth quarter with many players againmaking big plays to secure the win.”
The previous night UFV fell 84-77 tothe University of Regina Cougars in theCanada West semifinal.
Sarah Wierks registered 17 pointsand pulled down an astounding 16rebounds in the defeat. Nicole Wierks,Sartori and Bartel all also posted dou-ble-digit point totals.
◗ The Cascades now have a weekend offbefore heading to Regina for the Final 8tournament, which runs March 15 to 17.
chances in the first period.But Chilliwack’s power
play proved the differencein the second, with SpencerGraboski and Philip Zielonkaeach scoring on the manadvantage to put the homeside ahead. Zielonka addedan empty-netter to round outthe scoring.
Smyl called the victory a“character win” and hailed histeam’s resilience.
“We didn’t panic when wehad some adversity,” he said.“We had a lot of chancesin the first. We didn’t score.Sometimes we get in a situa-tion where we’re struggling alittle bit and we panic and weget individualist and frustrat-ed. We didn’t have any of that
come through.”The Chiefs wrap up their
regular season with a home-and-home set of gamesThursday and Saturdayagainst the Rivermen. Lang-ley will finish fourth in theMainland Division and are toopen the playoffs on the roadagainst Surrey. But while thegames won’t affect the stand-ings for either team, the week-end gives the Chiefs anotherchance to plug any holes intheir game before the playoffskick off.
“We want to make surewe’re sharp in all areas.” Smylsaid. “We should be able toget some line combinationsset and stick with them.”

For those who like their golf with a sideof (friendly) trash talk, a Chilliwackleague that pits hackers head-to-head
is looking for new members.The Chilliwack Golf League is entering its
15th season and looking for a few more golf-ers to fill out its roster of 64 players.
The league features eight divisions of eightgolfers each; competitors square off againsteach other twice in match play. Games areplayed in a home-and-away style, with“home” players choosing the Fraser Valleygolf courses of their choice.
Daniel Caton said he likes the thrill ofmatch play “because it has a certain strategyto it.”
In match play, golfers compete to win eachhole by competing it in the lowest num-ber of strokes. The player who wins moreholes wins the game; it doesn’t matter if heor she had a couple nightmare holes involv-ing more sand and water than a Caribbeanvacation.
That means that sometimes a golfer loseswith what, in traditional “medal play” golf,would be considered the lowest score.
The nature of match play can make thegame a little less formal than traditionalgolf. It’s not unheard of, Caton joked, for oneplayer to slyly note a lurking water hazardwaiting to gobble up the opponent’s ball.
That sense of fun is coupled with a differ-ent style of competition.
“You don’t worry so much about yourscore,” Caton said. “Sometimes there’s a littlebit of pressure and it comes down to a puttor two to win a match.”
The league hosts its tee-off breakfastMarch 10.
The cost to join is $125, which includes thebreakfast along with prizes and discounts atsome courses.
The league also hosts two tournamentsthroughout the year, including a Ryder Cup-style event to close out the season in Sep-tember.◗ For more information visit www.chilliwack-golfleague.com or contact Richard Smith at604-858-5116 or 604-799-5545.

The option of a two-week Spring Break was introduced to our partners but asolution could not be agreed upon in sufficient time.
The Chilliwack Board of Education approved an option to remain as “StatusQuo” as per 2012-2013, with a one-week Spring break. Our district iscommitted to continuing to explore a two-week Spring break option to bepresented to the Board for the 2014-2015 school year.

O’Donnell, but he remembersbeing pulled out of class a lot for“learning assistance-type stuff.”
“What I remember is a room,” hesaid, “and they would just give mestuff, like a word to read, and getme to sound it out, but they werepretty impatient with me. Theywould try to hurry me, and I keptbeing frustrated.”
Back in class, while other kidsread, he remembers looking atbooks blankly, pretending to read.
“I had a big disadvantage andI knew that,” he said. “Studentswould be doing projects or doing
essays, writing stuff or doing somemath, and I would be still doinga year or two years behind them,doing stuff like one plus one is twoand math books that were pic-tures, not the actual writing.”
While he felt left out, he said hedidn’t spend a lot of time think-ing about it at the time, focusinginstead on playing with friends atrecess and lunch.
But by the time he was referredto the District Resource Program inGrade 5, however, he wanted more.
He can’t remember exactly why,
but at age 11, he was gripped by adesire to learn toread.
“Since Icouldn’t talk thatmuch, I spenta lot of timethinking, andI think at thattime I wanted achange,” he said.
His eager-ness was clearto Clyne and long-time educationassistant Carol Frost, who had
worked in the District ResourceProgram for14 years, butO’Donnell’spre-programtests showed hewould be fac-ing seeminglyinsurmountableobstacles.
Looking overthe results,Clyne remem-
bers Frost saying their new pupilhad come to them with more read-
ing deficits than any other studentshe had ever seen in the program.
And by the end of two monthsof hard work, it looked like thosedeficits would win out.
But then something happened.“By the third month, he was
starting to read,” Clyne said.O’Donnell had barely started to
catch on, however, when his timein the program came to an end.
It would take an unusual andenduring partnership to ensurethe breakthrough would see himthrough to graduation eight yearslater.◗ See Part Two of Kieran’s story inThursday’s Chilliwack Times.
EXCEPTION, from page 5 Gripped by a desire to learn to read
“Since I couldn’t talkthat much, I spent a lotof time thinking, andI think at that time Iwanted a change.”

To Those Who Mourn (an excerpt)For that is the real truth, man is a soul and has a bodyThe body is not the man; it is only the clothing of the man.What you call death is the laying asideof a worn-out garment, and it is no morethe end of the man than it is the end of youwhen you remove your coat.Therefore you have not lost your friendsyou have only lost sight of the cloak in which you wereaccustomed to see him.the cloak is gone, but the man who wore it is not:Surely it is the man that you love and not the garment.– C.W.
