Hope water system to be

upgraded

Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

The East Kawkawa Lake water system will be re-ceiving a significant up-grade this year, thanks to a $450,000 contribution from Canada’s Gas Tax Fund.

Chilliwack-Fraser Can-yon MP Mark Strahl an-nounced the federal funding for the project on Tues-day at district hall.

“This strate-gic infrastruc-ture investment will improve the quality of drink-ing water in the District of Hope for years to come,” he said.

The aging water system, which is vulnerable to con-tamination, will undergo several upgrades. Water lines currently sitting at the bottom of drainage ditches will be buried, and a monitoring system will be installed to better gauge water use and identify po-tential leaks in the future.

Replacing open ditches

with culverts for runoff and wastewater will also reduce the amount of harmful pol-lutants that empty directly into Kawkawa Lake.

“East Kawkawa Lake was formally under the FVRD, and it’s well behind in-frastructure standards in other parts of Hope,” said town manager Earl Row.

“Today’s announcement is really important because

it begins the cre-ation of water infrastructure in an area with one of the neediest streets.”

Hope has been waiting four years to receive funding for this project, which is scheduled to complete by the

end of 2012. The federal contribution is expected to cover all upgrade ex-penses.

“A project like this is not only a major investment in our growing commu-nity, but an investment in the quality of life for resi-dents and the environment alike,” said Mayor Susan Johnston.

Snow removal expensive

News

Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Th e fi rst blast of winter in Hope has cost the municipality about $42,000.

Last week’s storm brought over 90 centi-metres of snow, winds gusts up to 74 km/h, prolonged subzero temperatures and several millimetres of freezing rain.

“We received in three days what on aver-age we experience in one year,” said town manager Earl Rowe.

Local crews worked around the clock in 12-hour shift s to keep the roads open. Th e municipality executed its priority work sys-tem, which is comprised of three stages. It starts with making sure feeder routes, routes with elevations, fi re stations and emergency access routes are cleared (priority one), fol-lowed by business and residential routes (priority two). Th e last phase sees crews prepare for the inevitable melt and clearing of storm drains. Part of priority three also includes getting snow off streets and into vacant locations where it can melt without causing fl ooding.

“Normally we get to priority two in 48 hours, but that was not possible last week,” said Rowe, adding it took a week for crews

to reach priority three. Th e weather also created treacherous

driving conditions on local highways. In addition to numerous vehicle crashes, Ja-mie Davis Towing had a truck written off by ICBC last week. A tow truck driver was working on getting four semi trucks out of the ditch on Highway 1 west of Hope when wind gusts picked up and blew the doors off his truck.

While road crews battled the elements, students in the Fraser-Cascade School Dis-

trict enjoyed three days off from class. “It’s something that doesn’t happen very

oft en,” said superintendent Karen Nelson,noting the safety of both students and teach-ers was the top priority. “Schools through-out the district were in contact with parentsin order to support student learning duringthat time. Are we concerned about studentachievement? Of course we are and we’ll doeverything we can to support our students.”

Th ere are currently no plans to make upthe missed school days.

A Jamie Davis Towing truck worth $140,000 burned to the ground on Silver Skagit Road Saturday. According to the owner, an electrical fire behind the dashboard caused the blaze. Overheating is being considered as a possible factor since the truck had just returned from a traffic call.

As pharmacists, we often talk about adherence....taking medication as ordered

by your doctor. Eye drops used to treat glaucoma is a good example. The high pressure inside the eye is a symptom of glaucoma and can lead to blindness if not treated. The eye drops lower this pressure thus preventing serious damage to the eye. How’s your glaucoma eye drop compliance?It’s good to remember that some medications are affected by consuming grapefruit juice. The juice affects the metabolic breakdown of the drug in the body often causing a higher level of the drug leading to side effects. There

is a long list of drugs that may be affected this way. Our pharmacists will tell you when it is signi cant for the drugs you are taking. Resolutions are often broken by this time in January. However, one good way to help you keep them is the write them down and post them on your fridge or bathroom mirror. Just seeing them in writing every day will give you a greater chance of succeeding in keeping your resolutions.Speaking of resolutions, if weight-loss is one of them, try weighing yourself daily (nude, rst thing in the morning). This helps to reinforce your goals and catch any gains early. However, some people

nd that once weekly is enough.Good advice: “Before you take it, talk about it.” Our pharmacists are always available to talk to you about your medications.Hope Public Health has specially asked Pharmasave to re-open the FLU vaccine service as a help to them as they are very busy with the local Whooping Cough outbreak. Please contact the pharmacy to get your FLU SHOT.

Greener and safer transportation is the goalKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Residents may soon have an opportunity to plug in and charge up.

Council unanimous-ly passed a motion on Monday night directing staff to prepare a by-law permitting the use of low-speed electric vehicles on municipal roads.

“We were interested in looking at ways to be a little greener and be a little safer out there on the roads,” said Coun. Donna Kropp. “I’m in favour of the initial draft we have going on here, but I’m looking forward to the public’s input.”

Low-speed electric vehicles (also referred to as neighbourhood zero emission vehicles) used to be included with other slow-moving

vehicles, like farm trac-tors, in the Motor Vehi-cle Act. An amendment to legislation in 2008 al-lowed municipalities to pass specifi c bylaws per-mitting electric cars on roads with speeds be-tween 40 and 50 km/h.

Low-speed electric vehicles weigh less than 1,361 kilograms and run on rechargeable batteries. Th ey require licencing and insurance as they fall under the normal requirements of passenger vehicles.

With all roads in Hope posted at 50 km/h or lower, Hope RCMP Staff Sgt. Suki Manj doesn’t foresee low-speed electric vehicles creating any problems.

“From a police per-spective, I don’t think it’s going to cause us to much concern if people follow the rules,” he said.

“I support the idea of going green and trying to fi nd alternative ways of transportation.”

Th e District of Oak Bay was the fi rst mu-

nicipality in B.C. to adopt a bylaw legalizing electric cars in 2008. Other municipalities quickly followed, and now Burnaby, Colwood,

Esquimalt, Vancouver, North Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Qualicum Beach, Ucluelet and Whistler have joined the green initiative.

Low-speed electric vehicles eyed in Hope

A body found in the Fraser River last month has been identifi ed as Rory McGillivray.

Police believe the 56-year-old man was living somewhere in the Hope area prior to his death. He was last seen by a family member in Kamloops on Sept. 18.

“Right now, we are attempting to establish a time line to fi ll in some gaps from the time Rory was

reported missing to the time that he was discovered in the river on Dec.18,” said Const. Tracy Wol-beck.

“We need to speak to anyone who has any information regarding Rory. We are actively investigating Rory’s disappearance but need the help of the public at this point.”

McGillivray had purchased a bus ticket to Hope in Kamloops.

Wolbeck said the ticket was not for a specifi c date, so it’s unclear if or when he got on the bus.

Th e cause of death is unknown at this time, but police have ruled out foul play.

Anyone with information re-garding McGillivray is asked to contact the Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

The days for film are numbered. The sheer lack of volume and the increase in digital camera use is writing film’s final chapter. Kodak announced this week it is filing for bankruptcy protection. They will probably head in another direction away from film. As new lab equipment is being purchased by labs in this province and others, those packages don’t include a film machine. This is similar to the transition from VHS to DVD, and now DVD to BluRay. Technology is always moving and always changing. The next change will be from the spinning disc to solid state. With a solid state device, such as your memory card, you can leave it laying around for five years with no loss in quality. You can’t do that with film. The digital world also allows us for less than a hundred dollars to buy a scanner that will process your old negatives and slides. Then you can save them to a hard drive, or a solid state device like a flash drive. There is an upside to all of this, it removes the chemical process needed to develop unexposed film. As of the end of January Hope Pharmasave will no longer handle undeveloped film. We will still print your old negatives

as we always have done. Goodbye old friend you had a good run, but your end is nigh.

Local libraries are hosting several events this weekCelebrating Family Literacy Day

Kerrie-Ann SchoenitThe Standard

Lifelong learning is the focus of Fam-ily Literacy Day on Friday.

The annual campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family.

“Literacy is necessary for quality of life, participating in community, for decoding our world,” said Maureen Ke-hler, the literacy outreach coordinator for the Fraser Cascade area.

“Basic literacy is the velcro of learn-ing. Learning needs to be fun, it needs to be intergenerational and it needs to be relevant.”

It can be as simple as reading a novel out loud to each other, grocery shop-ping together, writing a poem together, publishing a monthly family newspa-per, doing a home improvement proj-ect or assembling an appliance or toy together.

Statistically Hope has one of the low-est literacy rates in the province, the highest number of vulnerable children entering kindergarten, and a large high school drop out rate in youth 18 and under.

“Research has shown that children who are school ready in kindergarten are more likely to do well in school, graduate, and are more likely to be suc-cessful in their jobs and post secondary education,” said Kehler.

There are several events this week celebrating Family Literacy Day. On Wednesday night, there’s a book launch

for the Story Time in the Park contest winners at Hope Library. The five win-ning stories have been made into books and are available at the four local library branches.

On Friday, Hope Library welcomes Tamara Toivanen of Positively Puppets

and The January Puppet Players groupfor a special show at 4 p.m. In BostonBar, the library is hosting a reading hourand prize draw starting at 9:30 a.m.

Whooping cough contin-ues to plague the region with more than 80 cases now re-ported since August.

Fraser Health Authority is-sued an alert last week after whooping cough (also called pertussis) was discovered in the Agassiz-Harrison area.

“The best protection against pertussis is to get vaccinated,” said Dr. Paul Van Buynder, Fraser Health’s chief medical

health officer. “Pertussis in very young

children can lead to hospital-ization and even death.”

A vaccination clinic started in Chilliwack on Monday, and those already running in Hope were expanded to Agas-siz and Harrison Hot Springs last week.

Parents are urged to make sure their children are fully immunized. Health officials

also warn the vaccine peo-ple get as children only of-fers protection for four to 10 years. Adults who have not had a booster shot in the last five years are asked to con-tact their local health unit, or their doctor to get the free vaccine.

Whooping cough is a very contagious disease that spreads easily through the air. Symptoms are similar to those

of a cold - sneezing, runnynose, low fever, mild cough -but over the next week or twothe coughing gets worse, lead-ing to longer spells that oftenend with a whoop or crowingsound when the infected per-son breathes in.

For more information aboutpertussis, call HealthLink BCat 811 or go online to www.healthlinkbc.ca and followthe Health Topics link.

TIRED OFSHARING?

BCTF demands still ‘absurd’Tom FletcherBlack Press

Th e latest wage de-mand from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation amounts to a 16 per cent increase over three years.

Th e BCTF tabled its proposal to the B.C. Public School Employ-ers’ Association, seek-ing a three-year cost-of-living increase in the fi rst year of a new contract, and six per cent in each of the two years aft er that.

It’s the fi rst specifi c wage demand to be re-leased by the union af-ter nearly a year of talks and nearly fi ve months of work-to-rule action by teachers.

Education Minister George Abbott told lo-cal media last Tuesday he is skeptical of the BCTF’s estimate that its latest proposal will incre as e costs by $300 mil-lion more than cur-rent con-d i t i o n s . But even if it does, that’s still $300 mil-lion too much.

“I have said, the minister of fi nance has said, government has said probably a thou-sand times over the almost a year now that

we’ve been negotiating that we have a net zero mandate for all pub-lic servants, including teachers,” Abbott said.

“It’s nice perhaps when you take an a b s u r d f i g u r e and make it a bit less ab-surd, but it is still above net zero by a huge margin.”

B C T F president

Susan Lambert said the new proposal also includes “modest im-provements” to benefi ts and classroom prepara-

tion time. “Yes, $300 million

is a lot of money, but look at the scale of the endeavour,” Lambert said.

“It’s certainly a lot less than the cost of the [BC Place] stadium roof I see every day from my offi ce window. And It’s less than the amount the B.C. Lib-erals have been able to take away from public education every year since 2002, when they illegally stripped our collective agreement of class-size and composi-tion guarantees.”

Abbott said the BCTF contract that expired last spring contained about 16 per cent in wage increases over

fi ve years, and that was in prosperous times.

Th e province cur-rently has a $3.1 billion operating defi cit and has signed agreements with several other pub-lic service unions with no total increase in compensation for the past two years.

JOAN PELLES / CONTRIBUTOR


Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver set off a loud, but poorly informed debate as environmental hearings began into the Enbridge proposal to pipe Alberta oil to the seaport at Kitimat.

Oliver’s open letter blasted foreign-funded environmental groups that “threaten to hijack our regulatory system to achieve their radical ideological agenda.”

Th is letter was seized upon by critics and the media, and misrepresented as an attack on anyone who opposes the pipeline or further expansion of the Alberta oil sands.

Of course, all opponents aren’t foreign or radicals. Th at was made clear when the Enbridge hearings opened in the Haisla village near Kitimat. Haisla

members told the throng of out-of-town professional protesters to sit down and shut up. Th ey don’t need self-appointed urbanites to speak for them.

Th e fact of foreign funding is no longer questioned, thanks to research by B.C. blogger Vivian Krause, primarily from U.S. tax returns. Th ree years aft er I fi rst wrote about her work, it is fi nally part of the national conversation.

What is the foreign-funded agenda? Oliver put it this way: “No forestry. No mining. No oil. No gas. No more hydroelectric dams.”

Here are three notions that have become entrenched in the urban mind in recent years: Clear-cut logging is by defi nition bad. Alaska salmon is wild, and thus superior to farmed. Run-of-river hydro destroys rivers.

All are aggressively promoted by certain environmental groups. And all are false.

On forestry, B.C. media have been spoon-fed by U.S.-backed

environmental organizers since Clayoquot Sound in the 1980s, when wealthy Americans fi rst decided to save B.C. from itself.

Greenpeace founder-turned-critic Patrick Moore was in Victoria last week to speak to the Truck Loggers’ Association. He pointed out that North

American “green building” standards reward locally sourced concrete and steel, but not wood. Why? Because big international organizations like Greenpeace and Sierra Club are so invested in opposition to logging, they end up backing environmentally destructive policies.

On oil, the debate has been dumbed down to the point where

even movie stars can participate.Protesting a pipeline from

Alberta to the U.S., Hollywood darling Robert Redford recited the usual talking points about the “tar sands scourge.”

Alberta oil sands can be seen from space, Redford moaned. So can Venezuela oil sands, a major U.S. source. So can Redford’s vast Utah ranch and ski resort development.

Redford parrots the claim that oil sands extraction produces three times the greenhouse gases of conventional oil. Th is is the big lie of “tar sands” campaigners. Th ree-quarters of emissions from all crude are generated when the refi ned fuel is burned by things like Redford’s limo, or the airline for which he voiced TV commercials.

Th e Alberta government reports that average emissions from oil sands crude are 107 grams per megajoule, slightly more than U.S. Gulf Coast crude at 104. California heavy crude

comes in higher, at 114.And if carbon is the issue, what

about U.S. coal mines that tear the tops off mountains and run the longest trains in world history to feed the country’s 600-plus coal-fi red power plants? Where is Redford on that?

And hijacking the regulatory process? Look no further than the Dogwood Initiative, an obscure Victoria outfi t that admits to taking about 40 per cent of its funding from U.S. sources.

Its “mob the mic” campaign signed up 1,600 people to speak at the Enbridge pipeline hearings. Among the signatories are “Cave Man” and “Jonathan Seagull.”

But wait, aren’t oil, power and aquaculture companies foreign funded? Certainly some are. Th e diff erence is, they create jobs. Professional protesters destroy them.

Questioning U.S. ‘environmentalists’

Negotiate fairlyIn the case of the B.C.

government versus the B.C. Teachers Federation, it appears no real bargaining or negotiating is taking place.

Education Minister George Abbott admitted government has uttered the term “net zero” mandate “probably a thousand times” in the last year. How is that bargaining in good faith? Government says it’s not just teachers that are subject to this totalitarian mandate, but all public servants.

Th is, against the backdrop of negotiations between unionized city workers and local governments like Richmond, where workers have been without a contract since the end of 2011. Municipal workers are seeking deals similar to other CUPE contacts, such as Courtenay’s, where a four-year deal granted workers with wage hikes of 2, 2, 2.75 and 2.25 per cent.

Th at said, giving in to the teachers’ wage demands that amount to 16 per cent over three years (according to Abbott) is not

only unlikely, it’s irresponsible given the economy’s relative fragile state.

But suggesting there is no room to move – and no chance for negotiations – is sending the wrong message to the public and those responsible for much of our children’s learning. Government rhetoric is suggesting to all of us that its mind is made up on such matters and nothing – collective bargaining be damned – can change its mind.

As BCTF president Susan Lambert said, “Th e net-zero mandate will not fi nd a deal.”

Settling public sector contracts is never easy, particularly those with teachers, who are now used to being legislated back to work when taking strike action. But a bullheaded government won’t lead to a solution.

In the centre of this dispute is our children. What sort of lesson are they learning here? One can hope by the end of this, they’ll learn about negotiating, consensus and good faith.

Opinion

“All are aggressively promoted by certain

environmental groups. And all are false.”

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

Our attention needs to be focused on studentsRe: Teachers are 'feeling discouraged' (Letters) As both a principal and a teacher, we should be focusing our attention on what is best for kids not taking shots at another unit within schools. And I’m hoping there was a misquote here because if we’re comparing highest paid teaching salaries by district with the same in terms of principal salaries, I’d like to know where there is a differential of 50,000.

Re: Teacher’s strike hurts kids, Letters (Jan. 18)

Last week, another unsubstan-tiated argument was published in a letter to the editor. Th e author claims that “kids are the ones who are suff ering” and to claim otherwise is “absurd.” Th e author does not, however, explain how students are being harmed.

All across B.C., teachers are teaching and students are learn-ing. Extra-curricular activities such as basketball tournaments continue. Parents are not re-ceiving formal report cards, but teachers and parents are com-municating regarding student progress.

Th e author then suggests that teachers should be held account-able for the low literacy rate of Canadian adults. He correctly states that according to Statistics Canada, 42 percent of adults have low literacy rates; meaning they score below three on a scale of 1-5 on the International Adult Litera-cy and Skills Survey (IALSS).

Many factors aff ect literacy rates. Some are obvious, such as innate ability and parental en-

couragement of reading. Others require more research.

According to Statistics Canada, over 50 per cent of immigrants whose fi rst language is not Eng-lish have low literacy skills, and 40 per cent of seniors do not have a high school diploma. Th ese sta-tistics refl ect the overall lower ed-ucation level of older Canadians, and the lack of English language training opportunities for immi-grants.

A more accurate indicator of the performance of our education system is the Canadian student literacy rate. In 2002, 84 per cent of 13-year-old students scored at or above the expected level in writing achievement; and in 2006 71 per cent of 15-year-olds met or exceeded expectations in reading profi ciency (Statistics Canada).

In addition, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Canada’s student litera-cy rate is second only to Finland. Th e U.S. ranks 15.

As for B.C., a 2006 study by Statistics Canada shows that our students scored an average 528 on

the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) read-ing test, with only Alberta (535) and Ontario (536) scoring slight-ly higher.

Ten years ago, the BC Liberal government illegally stripped contract language that pro-tected the learning conditions of students as well as the work-ing conditions of teachers. Class size limits on the total number of students, as well as the number of special needs students, were removed. Now, it is not unusual to have six, seven, eight or more special needs students in our al-ready over-crowded classrooms.

In addition, the BC Liberals have spent 10 years and countless taxpayer dollars defending their actions, fi nally losing to the BC Teachers’ Federation at the BC Supreme Court.

Teachers should be commend-ed for the work they do. It is not the teachers’ strike that is hurting kids. It is the irresponsible ac-tions of the BC Liberals.

After about seven years in Hope, I feel the need to make a few comments on the snow ser-vices.

We have lived in four other municipalities – two in B.C., one in the Northwest Territo-ries, and one in Alberta. I base my comments primarily on comparison.

The frequency of plowing in Hope is higher than the other municipalities compared, which in some respects is, of course, positive. However, while plow-ing of residential streets is ap-preciated, the blocking of drive-ways is not.

The snow from plows is heavy and compacted. In all the other municipalities we lived in, there was a process to clear driveways following plowing. In one, the clearing of driveways was not in place when we first lived there, but was put in place as a result of public demand supported by a significant number of coro-nary emergencies from people

having to deal with this heavy compacted snow blocking their driveways.

In Hope, we have one of the highest percentages of elderly in the province as a result of many people moving here to re-tire – these people, so crucial to our tax base, are some of the people most affected and at risk due to this practice – or should I say, lack thereof. Also, let’s not forget the people who need to get to work in the morning to run our businesses and provide our services.

In addition, storm drains are not cleared. They are plowed under and stay that way, un-less like myself and a number of other residents, drains and curbs are kept open. However, this gets to be too much eventu-ally as the plow defeats our ef-forts. Who will be responsible for flood damage when there is a quick melt and the storm drains are not open?

Fire hydrants too, are not kept

clear, in fact sometimes buried completely.

I am sure this would be seen as negligence should a tragedy occur due to the time it takes to access a hydrant.

Again, in the other jurisdic-tions we have lived in we have not seen the storm drains or the hydrants be left unattend-ed during winter snow storms. The liability for not doing so, I would think, would be of con-cern to the municipality’s insur-ance carrier.

I am not unaware of the cost pressures of public orga-nizations, however the winter season is short in Hope and the cost of doing a quality job would be far less than in most of the province.

These issues are not minor and are part of quality improve-ment and subsequently respect for residents of the municipal-ity – those who support the mu-nicipality.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Health care system ‘stuck in ‘60s’Tom FletcherBlack Press

Canada’s premiers are taking the fi rst step to reforming a public health care system that is decades out of date, according to the presi-dent of the Canadian Medical As-sociation.

Dr. John Haggie endorsed an announcement by premiers meet-ing in Victoria last Tuesday to fast-track solutions to structural prob-lems that all agree can’t continue as the huge baby boom generation begins to retire. He quickly cut through the political squabbling that has surrounded health care funding for years.

“Th e diffi culty is that medicare has never evolved,” Haggie told reporters at the Council of the Federation meeting. “It’s a publicly funded system, but it’s stuck in a model of acute illness back in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Eighty per cent of Canada’s disease burden is chronic

care that needs to be administered in the community. It needs to be administered at home rather than in expensive institutions.”

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected suggestions from B.C. and other provinces that Ottawa’s new population-based health care funding formula be modifi ed to refl ect more seniors, more remote communities or other drivers of health care costs around the coun-try.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark an-nounced last Tuesday that Sas-katchewan Premier Brad Wall and Prince Edward Island Premier Robert Ghiz will chair a working group to come up with three ar-eas of reform in time for the next premiers’ meeting in Halifax this summer.

Wall said other provinces can learn from B.C.’s eff orts to im-prove community and home care. He also said provinces have to fi nd a way to stop bidding against each

other for scarce doctors, nursesand other skilled workers whose salaries account for about 70 percent of provinces’ health care bills.

Clark agreed that competition between provinces needs to becurtailed, but declined to com-ment on the idea of a national fee structure for medical profession-als.

Ghiz said Prince Edward Islandhas the same problem as B.C. withgrowing demand for seniors care,and the debate in Canada is cur-rently around long-term care orhome care.

While the provinces focus onidentifying and sharing best prac-tices, Haggie warned that no single solution is going to help everyone.

“Th e problem is it’s such a hugesystem that you need the fl exibility to do it slightly diff erently in rural areas than in downtown Vancou-ver, because it’s not going to work the same in both locations,” he said.

Treacherous driving conditions in last week’s snow-storm have highlighted the plight of dialysis patients in the eastern Fraser Valley.

“Too many people risk life and limb travelling out of town to receive treatment that is so needed to keep them alive,” says Chilliwack resident Elaina Wugalter.

She has started a Facebook page to raise awareness of the issue, and to start a drive to get a dialysis clinic in Chilliwack for patients with chronic kidney dis-ease.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz is asking Fraser Health Authority offi cials for a meeting this week to discuss the issue “and how we can better serve the people who need this service to stay alive.”

“It’s not an optional service,” she said. “Th ey need it to stay alive.”

Yet while provincial offi cials were warning people last week to stay off the roads, Wugalter said her hus-band Morris – and other patients in Hope, Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs – had to risk snowblown highways to get to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital for dialysis treatments.

FHA spokesman Roy Th orpe-Dorward said health offi cials “certainly understand” the concerns of dialy-

sis patients, but their numbers in the eastern FraserValley don’t justify opening a clinic in Chilliwack.

Th ere are other treatment and transportation op-tions open to the 24 dialysis patients currently livingin the area from Chilliwack to Agassiz and Hope.

“Because of the specialized nature of the equipmentand the staff required, there needs to be a certainnumber (of patients) to be feasible,” he explained.

Patients in the eastern Fraser Valley also have theoption of taking a taxi to Abbotsford, or arranging aride with the SN hospital transfer van, a service simi-lar to handyDART. Normally, patients must pay forthese services, Th orpe-Dorward said, but the FHAwill pay for patients having “a particularly diffi culttime” getting to dialysis appointments.

Th ere is a specially-trained nurse at the clinic whocan help patients manage their conditions at home fora few days, until they are able to get to another dialysissession.

Th orpe-Dorward said opening a new clinic inChilliwack is “not something we’re looking at at themoment,” but as the number of patients change in thisfast-growing health region “it’s always something thatwould be open for consideration.”

Th e Alberta government has operated two mobiledialysis units to bring the service to the patients since2010.

Library databases offer winter project ideasWhat a wubbulous week of

wacky weather! The library was closed for four

days last week and I really missed being here. I was, of course, able to do some other stuff with my unexpected time off. I pieced together a new quilt, but there are tons of other projects a person could start in the coming months of cold and wet.

Now the library has books – lots of books – on various projects but sometimes the library is closed!

One thing I do is take advantage of our wide selection of databases. Begin on our homepage (www.fvrl.bc.ca). Click “Learn,” then “Online Resources.” Scroll down and wow!

I’ve used the Hobbies and Crafts Reference Centre for quilting ideas and to access the past six years of The Puppetry Journal, a magazine about all things puppetry. This database is a great resource for hobbyists.

Just a very small fraction of the topics include kid’s crafts, crochet, cooking, knitting, sewing, tatting, leatherwork and woodworking.

Maybe your hobby is playing or learning an instrument.

Check out our new Naxos Sheet Music Library which offers 45,000 sheet music titles.

So many projects, so little time!

Do you have a sick car sitting in the driveway? Maybe it’s time to tackle the project of getting it up and running. Use the Auto Repair Reference Centre database - just look up your vehicle by year, make and model to get detailed instructions and diagrams. This database largely replaces those big old Chilton’s manuals.

Need to tackle a smaller, mechanical project? Did your generator die? Do you have a motorcycle that needs some TLC before you can hit the road this summer? Use the Small

Engine Repair Reference Centre database. Loads of information, all available for free.

Maybe you just want to slow down after the workout you gave the snow shovel this past week?

Check out some of our other databases. These ones are designed to help you

relax! I’m cruising around Naxos

Music Library and listening to Pete Seeger’s If I Had a Hammer album as I write this. Classical, jazz, pop, rock, blues, and more. In fact, at last count there are

939,076 tracks catalogued and available.

While listening (all you need to do is make your selections and click on “Play Selection” – it will play in the background as you continue to browse), you can pick out your next best read on NoveList Plus. This database is great for when you’ve read everything your favourite author has written and you want books that are similar reads. Then order the book from FVRL and sit back and wait for it to be delivered directly to the Hope Library. Easy!

Maybe an electronically generous Santa brought you that tablet, laptop, MP3 player or e-reader you’ve been wanting. In that case, download an e-book at BC’s Library to Go. Start at the “eCatalogue Quick Start Guide” on the left hand side of the screen. And follow the download instructions.

Need help? Call us or drop in.

Eric Welsh Black Press

Ties are a rare commodity in the BCHL, so rare that the Chilliwack Chiefs had yet to experience one this season.

Each of their 40 prior games had ended with a winner and a loser.

But the Chiefs fi nally found a game they couldn’t settle in 70 minutes Sunday night, battling the Westside Warriors to a 3-3 draw at Prospera Centre.

Th e Chiefs scored twice in the opening three minutes of this one, getting their fi rst goal just 51 seconds in. David Bondra pounced on a loose puck in the Westside zone and took advantage of some horrifi c defensive coverage, darting right-to-left across the slot.

Warriors netminder Dwayne Rodrigue followed, leaving plenty of space on the glove side. Bondra’s cross-body wrister snuck inside the post, giving the Maryland native 16 goals on the year.

Chilliwack struck again at 2:30 on a goal by Michael Spring.

Mammoth defenceman Anderson White earned the fi rst assist with a foray deep into the Westside zone and a hot shot that Rodrigue couldn’t handle. Th e puck squirted off to the left , where Spring was left with an unguarded cage.

Th e 20-year-old calmly popped the bis-cuit in the basket for his fi ft h of the year and a 2-0 Chilliwack lead.

When White was acquired from the USHL’s Des Moines Buccaneers at the CJHL trade deadline, Chiefs general man-ager Harvey Smyl insisted the 20-year-old had off ensive upside.

He said this even though White’s career numbers suggested nothing of the sort, leaving at least one sports writer skepti-cal.

Apparently, Smyl was right.“I’ve never had the green light to play

as aggressively as I do here,” White said of his emerging off ensive skill. “It was always tough for me when coaches told me not to do it, when I felt I could contribute that way. So, being able to do it here is a really

good feeling.”White’s Chiefs had all the momentum at

that point, but a Spencer Graboski rough-ing minor at 8:05 gave the visitors a re-prieve. Th e Warriors didn’t score on the power play, but they got some life in their legs.

“It was a great start, and maybe every-one got a little hyped up about the two goals and thought that would continue,” White said. “Forwards started not coming back far enough and the D started hang-ing onto the puck too long.”

Less than three minutes later, Westside was on the board on a goal by Manitoba native Dru Morrison. Chilliwack de-fenceman David Th ompson started the sequence, picking up the puck in the neu-tral zone and retreating back into his own end.

Th ompson ended up giving the puck away, and chaos ensued. Morrison fi nished the play with a wrister from the point that caught the top corner behind Chiefs net-minder Mitch Gillam.

Th e Warriors drew even at 4:37 of peri-od two on another long-range bomb. Th is one came from Westside defenceman Mat-thew Berry-Lamontagna, who fi red from the Coopers Foods ad on the far left wing boards. Th e long-named one put the puck past Gillam for his fi rst of the year, chasing the keeper from the Chilliwack net.

Backup goaltender Bryton Udy took over and did much better, though he looked a lot like Gillam on the third West-side goal.

Th e Warriors took the lead on a strike by defenceman Peter MacIntosh, whose shot from the right point found its way through a partial screen and past Udy at 9:45.

But with the seconds ticking away in the middle frame, White came through with a timely tally for the home side.

Th e hulking blueliner cranked a shot from the left point that looked to change direction on its way into the Westside net.

Derek Huisman and two Warrior de-fenders were both in the path of the puck,

but it was White getting credit for his fi rst of the year.

Neither team scored again before the end of regulation time, setting up sudden-death overtime action.

Five minutes of four-on-four went by uneventfully, leaving fi ve minutes of uniquely-BCHL three-on-three hockey.

“It’s a lot of fun, very exciting and nerve-wracking out there,” White said. “Th ings can change very quickly if you get caught up ice or make a bad read.”

Th e Warriors almost ended it in the fi rst minute when a horrible line change left Basara with a breakway from the blueline in. But Udy came up with his biggest save, stretching out his left leg as Basara tried to slip the puck inside the left goal post.

Chilliwack sits at 22-16-1-2, third in the Interior conference standings.

Th ey host the second place Merritt Cen-tennials Friday night at Prospera Centre.

Th e last place Trail Smoke Eaters are in Chilliwack Saturday night.

Puck drop for both games is 7 p.m.
