This is part one in a two-part seriesabout Chilliwack Home Supportand clients who say the service isdropping the ball when it comes tocontinuity of care.

CORNELIA [email protected]

When Cindy Thomsen wasa community health careworker seven years ago,

she didn’t get why it was such abig deal to some clients to havemultiple workers come into theirhomes and help them shower.

Helping clients (the elderly andpeople with disabilities) undress

and shower was all in a day’s workfor her, and just one part of her jobwith Chilliwack Home Support.

But the subject kept coming up.“I’d go into clients’ places,

especially the elderly, and they’dtell me the same thing, that theydidn’t like undressing for 30 dif-ferent girls,” Thomsen said. “Theyonly wanted one girl to give thema shower, and I’d sort of wonderwhy.”

Her learning curve has been

steep since then.In 2006, a sudden and vicious

blood infection devastated herbody.

I t a l m o s t k i l l e d h e r a n ddestroyed tissue on her face, armsand legs. The threat of gangreneforced the amputation of her legsmid-calf and her arms just belowthe elbow.

Parts of her face—her nose,mouth and lips—fell off.

Now she is a Home Support cli-

ent herself, and she has learnedfirst hand what it’s like to havestrangers help her undress andshower.

“There was a while where I didn’tshower,” she said, “and I’m surethe worker could have given meone . . . but you just don’t feel rightbecause when you’re in the showerand totally naked, especially withme because I don’t have arms and

Costlycourtcase

BY PAUL J. [email protected]

The federal government paida lawyer more than $40,000over nine years to prosecute

a local First Nations woman for aFisheries Act violation, the Timeshas learned.

Hope lawyer Finn Jensen washired by the Public ProsecutionService of Canada (PPSC) to act asCrown counsel in the case of Patri-cia Kelly, a Sto:lo woman chargedin 2004 with “purchasing, sellingand possession of fish against theFisheries Act.”

She pleaded not guilty but aftera four-year fight she was convictedon July 3, 2008.

She then made an aboriginalrights defence, which slowly pro-ceeded through Supreme Court inChilliwack, ending May 9 with anabsolute discharge and an orderthat Kelly be paid $2,482 for theconfiscated fish.

The case enraged local FirstNations leaders who lament thatKelly was treated like a criminal forexercising her constitutional rightto fish.

“There is no fairness about it,”Sto:lo Tribal Council Grand ChiefDoug Kelly (no relation to Patricia)told the Times last week.

Agroup of activists opposedto salmon farming held theireighth rally at local grocery

stores.Led by Sto:lo elder Eddie Gard-

ner, the Chilliwack chapter of thegroup Salmon Feedlot Boycottheld placards and demonstratedin front of Superstore on Thurs-day.

The protest was the group’s thirdat Superstore. They have also beenat Walmart three times, Safewayonce and Costco in Abbotsfordonce.

All the stores sell Atlantic salm-on produced by fish farms off Van-couver Island.

The focus of the protesters hasshifted from environmental sus-tainability to human health. Crit-ics of fish farms suggest diseasescan move from farmed fish in theocean onto wild fish. The salmonfarming industry says this isn’ttrue and, in fact, the industryhas helped scientists learn aboutsalmon diseases because of the

measures they take to examinefish after the die.

But Thursday’s protest in Chilli-wack was more focused on thesupposed human health risks offarmed salmon.

I n a p r e s s r e l e a s e i s s u e dWednesday, the group said a Nor-wegian scientist, Dr. Anne-LiseBirch Monson, has raised con-cer ns about contaminants in

farmed salmon that have a nega-tive effect on brain developmentand are associated with autism,ADD/ADHD and reduced IQ.

The group says also that theEuropean Union has granted Nor-way’s request to raise permissiblelevels of toxins in salmon feed.

“Yes, this is a true story, andyou can read all about this in theAugust edition of our publicationLegacy,” said Jim Wilcox of theU.S.-based Wild Game Fish Con-servation International.

The activists said Superstore has

been bragging about selling porkwithout hormones or antibiot-ics yet the company sells farmedsalmon in which antibiotics areused.

“This is why we are encourag-ing customers to ask Superstoreto remove farmed Atlantic salmonfrom their shelves, as it is the ethi-cal and moral thing to do,” EddieGardner said.

When asked about the proteston Thursday, a Loblaw spokesper-son said the company takes envi-ronmental concerns seriously andthey are “committed to providingour customers with products thatare sourced, handled and pro-duced responsibly.”

Senior manager of public rela-tions, Elaine Quan, told the Timesin an email that Loblaw has aworld-leading sustainable seafoodpolicy. She said that increaseddemand is why the company sourc-es both wild and farmed salmon.

“When there are responsiblefarming practices, through wasteand disease management, waterpollution from fish farming canbe mitigated,” Quan said. “TheAquaculture Stewardship Coun-cil (ASC) standards are currentlybeing developed to address theseissues.”

She added that the company’sgoal is to source all seafood in thecompany’s stores from sustainablesources by the end of this year.

After B.C. Chief Justice Thomas Crabtree grant-ed Kelly the absolute discharge, the Times filed arequest under the Access to Information Act ask-ing how much Jensen was paid to prosecute Kelly.

Last week the PPSC replied with informationthat his firm, Kennedy, Jensen, was paid $41,968.84between Dec. 31, 2004 and April 29, 2013.

Of that total, $14,854.52 was for the first stage ofthe case, and $27,114.32 for the latter, aboriginal-rights defence part.

The total amount for legal fees actually soundedlow to Doug Kelly, who criticized what he calls thecriminalization of First Nations fishers.

“The real question for me is not how much wasspent on Patricia Kelly, but how much is Finn Jen-sen and others just like him, how much do theymake prosecuting aboriginal fishers, for prosecut-ing constitutionally protected rights. That dollarvalue would be scandalous.”

As the case concluded in May, Jensen asked thecourt for a conditional discharge and a “modestfine” as a sentence for the 2008 fisheries act con-viction.

Kelly asked for an absolute discharge and repay-ment for 276 of the 296 fish she had confiscated in2004, since the court only proved 20 of those fishwere caught outside of the legal opening.

Crabtree gave the absolute discharge andordered her paid the value of the fish confiscatedthat day on the Fraser River in 2004.

The case garnered considerable interest in theSto:lo community and among First Nations, par-ticularly after Kelly’s mug shot appeared in a June12, 2009 Crime Stoppers advertisement in theTimes.

“There’s got to be a more fair way of dealing

with these issues rather than turning well-mean-ing and honest people into what’s being perceivedas hardened criminals,” Sto:lo Nation presidentChief Joe Hall said in 2009.

During her final court appearance on May 9,Kelly told the court that her fight, which she saidwas about the very nature of aboriginal rights and

title, led her to become homeless and penniless.“I’ve suffered politically, socially, emotionally,

economically,” she said.For Doug Kelly, the case is symptomatic of the

mistaken way that fisheries are managed in Can-ada. He emphasized that the courts are not theplace to resolve disputes over fishing with FirstNations people.

Kelly said prosecutions like Patricia Kelly’s are“too damn common” and the situation is gettingworse.

“DFO management has resulted in a significantreduction of the availability of fish stocks,” hesaid. “So now we are put in a difficult spot wherewe have to choose between going hungry or goingfishing.”

He added that there should be a tribunal pro-cess to deal with fishing grievances outside of thecourt system.

“The solution is the federal government, theprovince of B.C. working with First Nations, oncreating a tribunal process akin to a human rightsprocess that creates the opportunity for citizensto resolve grievances in an informal, objectivefashion.”

UMMERELLDOWN


Conservation officers shot an aggressive cou-gar near hiking trails and campsites in CultusLake Provincial Park Thursday after it threat-

ened a second group of people.The cougar, which had boldly approached several

hikers on Teapot Hill trail the day before, confronteda group of hikers on the nearby Seven Sisters trailThursday afternoon.

The cougar hissed at the hikers and tried to pre-vent them from leaving the area, according to Sgt.Steve Jacobi with the Conservation Officer Service.

“People were trying to come down and it was hiss-ing and snarling,” Jacobi told the Times near the trail-head for Seven Sisters in Entrance Bay Campground.

On Wednesday, the cougar was reported to havebehaved extremely aggressively towards hikers onTeapot Hill. One woman reported that the cougarcornered her and her dog. It refused to back off andpursued the woman when she sprinted down thehill.

Conservation officers had been alerted to the cou-gar’s presence after and had rushed to the scene.

They quickly found the cat, and shot and killed itjust 60 feet away from the campground road.

Jacobi said that at an estimated 30 to 40 pounds,the cat was underweight.

“It’s very, very skinny,” he said. “It’s juvenile soit’s trying to find territory, figure out a food source.

But for whatever reason, its mother didn’t teach ittoo properly or it is on its own too young because itdoesn’t seem to know how to hunt for itself.”

Jacobi said the pristine state of the cougar’s teethand gums illustrated that the animal had not beeneating.

Cougars are quite common in the area due to highpopulations of deer, rabbits and other prey animals,according to Jacobi.

When a cougar comes this close to humans andis threatening, relocation simply does not work andthe animals have to be destroyed, he said.

COUGAR ENCOUNTERSThe following are guidelines in the event that you do

encounter a cougar:Stay calm and keep the cougar in view. Pick up children

immediately—children frighten easily, the noise andmove-ments theymake could provoke an attack. Back away slow-ly, ensuring that the animal has a clear avenue of escape.Make yourself look as large as possible. Keep the cougar infront of you at all times.Never run or turn your back on a cougar. Suddenmove-

mentmay provoke an attack.If a cougar shows interest or follows you, respond aggres-

sively. Maintain eye contact with the cougar, show yourteeth andmake loud noise. Arm yourself with rocks or sticksas weapons. Crouch down as little as possible when bend-ing down to pick up things off of the ground.If a cougar attacks, fight back. Convince the cougar you

are a threat and not prey. Use anything you can as a weap-on. Focus your attack on the cougar’s face and eyes.

As locals and touristsalike hit Chilliwack-area trails over the

summer, not everyone isable to get off the mountainon their own.

A dozen Chilliwack searchand rescue members helpedfind a family of four who gotlost during a day hike onVedder Mountain on July 27.

Upon trying to return totheir vehicle, the mother,father and two young chil-dren found themselves loston an unmarked trail.

Fortunately, the fam-ily were in cell range. Justafter 8 p.m., they contactedpolice, who in turn called inChilliwack Search and Res-cue (SAR).

The family was able todescribe a yellow gate they

were near, and search crewswere able to find them andhelp them off the mountainwithin a couple of hours.

“ The family was ver yappreciative and thankful ofthe efforts of the Search andRescue” said Const. GaryParrish of the RCMP’s sum-mer policing unit. “Thesevolunteers can always becounted on and they giveselflessly of their time. Wecertainly appreciate whatthey do”

Po l i c e a re re m i n d i n gpeople to take precautionsbefore hitting the trail. Theyshould stay on marked trails,bring food, water, clothingand a cell phone, and tellsomeone else about theirdestination and projectedreturn time.

The Vedder hikers weren’tthe only people who’veturned to search and rescue

for help in recent weeks.On July 26, 10 Kent-Har-

rison Search and Rescuemembers helped take out aninjured hiker from the BridalFalls area.

The next day, nine mem-bers assisted a 70-year-oldmale kayaker who neededhelp on Harrison Lake.

And in mid-July, Chilli-wack search and rescuecrews were called in to helpexecute a helicopter long-line rescue of an injuredman who fell down a cliff inthe Mission area.

Despite the incidents andthe recent warm weather,Chilliwack SAR search man-ager Doug Fraser said theyactually received a below-average number of call-outsfor the month of July, whichis typically one of the busi-est for the volunteer search-and-rescue crews.

Mounties are again warning the publicthat thieves are targeting batteries for

recreational vehicles.The Chilliwack RCMP’s crime reduction

unit has reported a rash of thefts of batteriesfrom RVs parked at local homes.

Mounties say the batteries can be cashedin for their metal content at recycling facili-ties.

RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieu-wenhuizen said RV owners can buy speciallocks for their vehicles. Police also recom-mend vehicle owners engrave their driver’slicence number on their batteries, whichmakes it easier for police to return stolenbatteries that are recovered. Recycling busi-

nesses won’t accept items marked with thesurname and address of owners.

“If your vehicle is not currently in use andis in storage it is recommended to removeyour battery and store it securely,” Cpl. BrockRayworth said.

Last November, police warned the publicabout a thief who was targeting RV batteriesin Yarrow.

For home security information, visit theRCMP’s Crime Prevention Services Office at45877 Wellington Ave., Chilliwack or phone604-393-3000.

Anyone with knowledge of the thefts cancall Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 orCrime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

legs or hands and feet,I’m totally helpless. I justfeel totally helpless. If youdon’t know the person, it’salmost like you don’t feelsafe—emotionally safe,and that’s a huge part ofit.”

With every new worker,the process starts all overagain, and Thomsen neverquite knows how each willreact to her disfigurement.

“There has been timeswhen you can see it on theirface,” she said. “I noticewhen they’re washing too.They’re almost scared totouch.”

It takes an emotional toll,but when she first startedon Home Support, Thom-sen only had to get usedto a small group of regularworkers.

That’s changed.In recent years, according

clients interviewed by theTimes, Chilliwack HomeSupport has dropped theball when it comes to whathealth officials call “conti-nuity of care,” sending whatseems to clients like anendless stream of strang-ers into their homes andsometimes missing visitsaltogether on short notice.

More than just an incon-venience, the situationis causing clients seriousstress, they say, drivingsome to use anti-anxietymedication to cope.

“You worry,” said BettyTuytel, “and it’s not a goodfeeling.”

Tuytel has been a HomeSupport client since 1988,when a car accident left herquadriplegic.

Today, she works, doesh e r ow n s h o p p i n g a n dlives on her own in a Chilli-wack farm house, but shedepends on Home Sup-port workers to get her outof bed in the morning andback into bed at night.

T h a t m e a n s w h e n ascheduler calls on a Satur-day night (as she said onerecently did) to inform herno one can come until 1:30p.m. the next day, Tuytelhas to wait in bed withoutfood, fluids or the ability toempty her night jug until afamily member can comeget her.

“It’s like taking my legsaway from me,” she said. “Ifthey just send somebodyto get me up, I’m good forthe rest of the day. I don’teven feel really disabled at

all, hardly ever, until theycall—then I feel disabled.”

The stream of new work-ers is another strain.

“They like to have 20 girlsin here,” Tuytel said. “Tohave 20 different girls com-ing in, it’s not even reason-able or fair to ask.”

Besides having to over-come the emotional dis-comfort of having so manystrangers involved in hershowers and other personalcare, Tuytel also has to startfrom scratch with most newworkers on a practical levelas they learn her needs.

“You have to walk thesepeople through everythingthey have to do for you, andit’s exhausting,” she said.“And the next morning youhave to do it again.”

She doesn’t blame thehome care workers, though;she knows they are in atough spot.

“They have to walk intothese people’s houses andthey get blasted becausethere’s a another new girlwalking through the door,”she said. “A lot of peoplewon’t even let them in

because they’re so upsetthere’s another new girl.”

What Tuytel wants is forHome Support higher-upsto show more respect forthe sanctity and dignity ofclients’ homes when theymake staffing and policydecisions.

“Right now they’re try-ing to institutionalize ourhomes,” she said. “That’sw h a t yo u e x p e c t w h e nyou’re in a hospital situa-tion, but when it’s your ownhome, you should just havea select few people whocome in, and they shouldbe trained for your areaspecifically.”

H o m e S u p p o r t i sdesigned to help peoplewith physical and mentaldisabilities manage every-day tasks, like dressing,grooming, taking medica-tion, bathing and otherpersonal care, in their ownhomes.

It falls under the FraserHealth Authority’s HomeHealth Ser vices, whosemotto is “home is best.’

“We support a philoso-phy that home, with appro-priate supports, is the bestplace to recover from ill-ness and injury, managechronic conditions and liveout final days,” reads thewebsite.

Home is also cheapest,costing between 40 and 75per cent less than hospitaland other institutional care,according to a seminal Uni-versity of Victoria report.

The union that representscommunity health careworkers says the problemsat Chilliwack Home Healthstem from the fact thatfunding hasn’t kept pacewith the provincial pushtowards “home is best.”

Chilliwack Home Care’smanager, however, saysthe service is addressingchallenges posed by a bigjump in demand in recentyears with changes that willimprove both its efficiencyand effectiveness.

Local police arereminding thepublic to cycle

safely when they hit theroad on two wheels thissummer.

“We have seen anincrease in peoplecycling this summer.With the advent ofbeautiful summerweather we have morerecreational cyclists,more people cycling towork, and with schoolstarting in less than amonth we want to edu-cate cyclists, especiallyour youth, to travel safe-ly,” RCMP spokesperson

Cpl. Len vanNieuwen-huizen said in a pressrelease.

VanNieuwenhuizensaid a few concernsfrom Rotary Vedder Riv-er Trail pedestrians andsome business ownershelped spark the safetyawareness campaign.

Mounties are remind-ing cyclists that bicyclesmust follow the samerules of the road as cars.That means cyclistsshould ride on the rightside of the road, andshould stay off side-walks. Bicycles musthave a white reflector

on the front, and ared one on the back.Cyclists are also encour-aged to wear reflectiveclothing.

And, of course, theyneed to wear a helmet.

“Broken arms andlegs can mend fairlywell. A broken skullcan be fatal. Thereforewe will be diligent inenforcing this require-ment,” vanNieuwen-huizen said. “I cycle towork myself and I love itbut our roads are busyand the rules of the roadneed to be followed toensure your safety.”

A non-profit organization dedi-cated to maintaining an accessible,enjoyable and sus-tainable freshwa-ter fishing in B.C.,FFSBC hands outthe three scholar-ships every year tostudents enrolled infish culture or fish-eries managementprograms within arecognized post-sec-ondary educationinstitution in B.C.

Krenz and hisfellow scholarshipwinners were cho-sen based on a number of criteria,including a short essay outliningtheir career aspirations and howtheir experiences, interests and edu-cation will positively impact B.C.’sfreshwater recreational fisherieswhen they graduate.

In his essay, the 21-year-old Krenzwrote about how his first fishingexperience at age 11 on the Vedder

River with his stepdad changed hislife forever.

“It created a passion for fishingthat still continues to drive much ofwhat I do today, both as a career andin my personal life,” he wrote.

The Sardis grad, who counts theCoquihalla and Vedder Rivers as his

favourite local fish-ing areas, is goinginto his fourth yearof a resource man-agement degree withan eye to workingin environmentalprotection, river res-toration and stockassessment or fish-eries enhancement.

For him it’s allabout giving futuregenerations achance to have theirown life-changing

fishing experience.“I love being on remote rivers and

kind of want to keep them pristineand keep them fishing as well asthey are now and hopefully evenbetter in the future,” he told theTimes. “Hopefully future genera-tions will be able to enjoy what I ambecause it’s an awesome way to getoutside and enjoy the outdoors.”

The Jolly Miller “Where Friends Meet”The Jolly Miller “Where Friends Meet”

Here’s a question thatour provincial gov-ernment ought to be

able to answer but can’t: Howmuch water is the world’s big-gest bottled water seller with-drawing from wells in BritishColumbia?

The province doesn’t knowbecause it isn’t asking. It doesnot require Nestlé Waters Can-ada to obtain a permit to with-draw water. It does not requireNestlé to report its withdrawals.And it does not charge Nestlé apenny for the water it uses, eventhough the company profitshandsomely from the hundredsof millions of bottles it sellsunder popular brand names likePerrier, Montclair and Vittel.

To its credit, Nestlé has in thepast (it no longer does) volun-tarily filed written reports on itswater withdrawals with the Dis-trict of Hope, which draws fromthe same aquifer as the companyand uses it to supply 6,500 localresidents with their drinkingwater.

But voluntary disclosuremisses the point. The provincialgovernment is responsible formanaging public waters for ourcollective good. In the absenceof basic information, the ques-tion must be asked: Is govern-ment doing all it can to look after

this vital natural resource?Again to its credit, when I con-

tacted Nestlé to ask how muchwater it withdraws at Hope itquickly volunteered the informa-tion. In 2012, corporate affairsspokesperson John Challinorsaid, Nestlé withdrew 71 milliongallons, or enough water to fillmore than 537 million half-litrebottles. Immense as this sounds,Challinor called it the proverbialdrop in the bucket.

“Based on our mapping wedrew less than 7/10ths of oneper cent of all available water inthe subwatershed for drawing,”Challinor said in an email.

But once again, this misses thepoint. Our mapping? Surely it isgovernment that should knowwhat water is available for Nestléand other commercial intereststo use, not the other way around.That vital information, alongwith data on what major con-sumers actually use, should be inthe public domain for all to see.And it should fall to government

to gather and report it, whilealso ensuring the public that ourwater resources are not at risk ofbeing overdrawn.

It is worth noting that thesegaps in information apply togroundwater, not surface water.B.C. has no comprehensivegroundwater regulation, so with-drawals from wells are virtuallyuntracked. The province doesissue water licences governingwithdrawals from surface sourcessuch as rivers, lakes and streams.And it places terms in suchlicences that limit water takings.

Even so, B.C.’s sound manage-ment of surface waters is itselfin question given three sig-nificant deficiencies. One, B.C.has no single agency trackingand reporting water use. Two,the province does not imposeacross-the-board water-meter-ing requirements. And three,while the government doescharge surface water users feesfor what they use, the fees areoften embarrassingly low.

As one example, in natural gasindustry hydraulic fracturing (orfracking) operations, immenseamounts of water are renderedso toxic that the water can neverbe returned to the rivers, lakesand streams from where it came.

Cougardeath sad,necessaryThere are bound to be plenty of peo-

ple who think conservation officersshouldn’t have killed the cougar that

was threatening people near Cultus Lake.The theory goes that the cougar should

have been relocated away from humanityso it could go upon its predatory way with-out threatening people.

It’s a nice theory, but it’s naive.You can’t rehabilitate an anti-social cou-

gar.Once a cougar—or a bear—gets to the

point where it starts menacing people ona popular hiking trail, it has lost its fear ofhumans. At that point, relocation becomeshopeless.

How, exactly, does one successfullyrelocate an animal that A) can roam hun-dreds of kilometres; B) has lost its fear ofhumans; and C) has come to see thosesame humans as an easy source of food.

You can’t.Once those animals learn just how easy

it is to steal food from humans, relocationbecomes a fool’s errand.

Worse, for a young cougar that doesn’tknow how to hunt—like the one killedThursday—relocation to some mythicalplace far removed from humans wouldsimply draw out the animal’s death awayfrom the sensitive eyes of us humans.

Is it fair that the habitat of North Ameri-ca’s large mammals is shrinking so that wehumans can expand into Mother Nature’sdomain? Probably not.

But we’re all culpable. The presence ofthe most environmentally conscious hikeris an intrusion on the natural home ofcougars, bears and other forest animals.Almost every piece of property in BritishColumbia was carved out of wilderness.And the food we eat requires land that alsowas once wild nature.

We can’t absolve ourselves of that guiltby decrying last week’s killing of a cougar.Indeed, doing so only shows an insensitiv-ity to the everyday moral compromiseshumans make in order to live happy, pros-perous lives in the 21st century.

Editor:For years, I have noted

many references to the sup-posed “fact” that the NDP hasreceived major funding fromunions. Despite the fact thatthis is untrue, the perceptionis there.

However, few newspapersin Canada have commentedon the major funding of con-servative parties such as theBC Liberals by the corporatesector.

There was an interestingarticle recently in the Van-couver Sun where Mark Milkeof the Fraser Institute com-mented on the billions of dol-lars given to large corporateinterests through taxpayer-funded dollars. I did not thinkthat there would ever be atime where I agreed with aFraser Institute analysis, butthat time has come.

Milke pointed out that, overthe past 50 years, $22.1 bil-lion have been handed out tolarge corporations. Apparent-ly, industry Canada and othergovernment institutions havebeen very generous with ourtax dollars.

Milke claims that, since1972, Pratt andWhitneyhas made 75 requests forhand-outs and has received$3.3 billion. Bombardier hasreceived over $11 billion.

In the more recent eraof the years 1994-2007, analarming $202 billion hasbeen disbursed.

To quote former federalNDP leader, David Lewis,these free handouts haveamounted to a system of“corporate welfare,” andthese “corporate welfarebums” have been bleedingthe taxpayer.Who really isto blame are the voters, whohave been electing successivegovernments of Liberals andConservatives, who in turnare quite willing to “kiss-up”to their financial masters.

The next time you hearsomeone crying in their beerabout “welfare bums,” pleaseremember that much moreof their hard-earned moneyis going to the large corporatemasters. It is so easy for themto cry about socialism untilthat socialism benefits thempersonally.

This hypocrisy is rampantin Canada and even morenoticeable in that great cor-porate welfare system knownas the United States.Whileour respective governmentsstress over the ever-increas-ing deficits, they continue

to waste billions in taxpayermonies that are handed outto the corporate sectors.

MSP premiumsmake no senseEditor:

In December of 2012, Imoved to this beautiful prov-ince from Manitoba. Friendsand family members hadmany reasons that I shouldn’tcome. They told me that Iwould never be happy with allthe rain and that it was moreexpensive here for everything,but I chose to move here tobe closer to my children andgrandchildren, and awayfrom the terribly cold Manito-ba winters. I expected higherrent, gas, car insurance,groceries—but what I didn’texpect is the MSP.

In Manitoba, we did notpay anything monthly forhealth care. Everything wasfree—which is what I expect-ed all across Canada—butthat is not the case in BritishColumbia! I have multiplesclerosis (MS), and in 2010,spent $15,000 (USD) to go toMexico to have the LiberationTreatment—a simple angio-plasty that isn’t available tothose suffering from MS inCanada yet is done every dayon heart and stroke patients.Prior to the procedure, myprescription drug cost was$1,600 per month —almostall of which was paid by theCanadian taxpayer (thankyou). Upon returning fromMexico, my drug costs wentto $50 per month—which Ipay myself. Now that I am inBritish Columbia, and foundthat I had to pay monthly formy health care because I ama Canadian citizen and makeover $30,000 per year, I hadsome real questions and con-cerns. I wrote to B.C.’s health

minister with these questionsand concerns, and had vowedthat I would not pay the MSPuntil my questions were satis-factorily answered. I felt thatwas fair.

Well, my letter wentunanswered. In it, I raisedconcerns about a two-tiered,health-care system andasked the question “what amI getting for my money?” Ialso asked how the provin-cial government can justifythis “mandatory” expense.Mandatory? Are you kid-ding me? Does that not reekof communism to anyoneelse? Living so close to theU.S. border and being anMS patient who cannot gethealth care for my condition,why can’t I purchase healthcare insurance in the U.S. andgo there for my health-careneeds? Again, questions thatI felt were justified. Then thephone calls started. RevenueServices of British Columbiawas calling me to remindme that my MSP bill wasn’tpaid, and asked if they couldexpect payment today. I said“not until my questions areanswered by the Minister.”They told me that if I do notpay the bill, that it will be sentto collections. Really? So, notonly are you going to rob meof $65 per month, but youare going to destroy my creditrating too? Nice.

So, begrudgingly, I paidthe bill but, again, not beingaccustomed to payingmonthly for health care, Iforgot the fourth month, andrevenue services called meagain. By this time, I had beenlaid off. (I am an employmentspecialist, specifically dealingwith “at risk” youth —yay forthe Economic Action Plan—but that’s another story.) Iasked them if my healthcarepayments are income taxdeductible —as they wouldbe if I was buying Blue Crossor any other health care

insurance. I was told that it isnot, which made me feel likejust driving down the roadand tossing out $20 bills, as atleast this would make me feelgood, unlike any dealings Ihave had with the health-caresystem. I did ask, however,how much the person on thephone was making hourlyto make these calls. He didnot divulge this informationto me, telling me it was irrel-evant. He did tell me, how-ever, that I may qualify forpremium assistance now thatI am laid off. He asked me ifI’ve been in Canada for overa year. Then I was asked if Imade over $30,000 last year,to which I replied yes. Hesaid that I did not qualify, soI posed the question —“youmean if I was a new Canadianor on welfare, that I could getfree health care, but becauseI work and earn money andpay taxes that I have to pay?”He hesitated and said “yes.”

Does anyone else see aproblem with this? I sawthe story on the news aboutthe woman who had to payeach day for parking to visither husband and son in thehospital, putting a strain onher fixed income. So, again Iask, what is all this MSP goingtowards? If there are 4.4 mil-lion people in BC, with 6.3per cent being unemployedand let’s assume that the MSPpayment is $30/month forworking people, then the bighaul for the government isquite a bit of money and thenif you tack on the transferpayments from the federalgovernment each year, well,yikes!

Millions of Canadians withmultiple sclerosis are beingshuffled out of hospitalsuntreated across the countrybecause there is no cure forMS.We are pumped full ofinjections and pills to helpus manage the symptoms,but the best management forsymptoms is being ignored. Ihave not had any MS symp-toms since my Liberationtreatment and this I had topay for myself.

All I want is to get what I’vepaid for. The MSP is wrong,and British Columbians needto speak out and refuse topay for services that everyoneelse in Canada is not beingbilled for monthly.We need tostop throwing money out thewindow and start questioningwhy we have to pay.

In the end, the Valley Huskers’ Cody Parraywas too good a quarterback to ever stickas a receiver.

Quarterback might be the most glamorousjob on the football field, but Parray alwayswanted to be the guy tasked with catchingfootballs and sprinting into the end zone.

It didn’t turn out that way though—notin community football with the ChilliwackGiants, nor with the Huskers.

As Parray tells it, he ended up quarterbackinga dozen Chilliwack Giants teams—includingthe 2009 provincial cham-pionship-winning midgetsquad—pretty much bydefault; after all, somebodyhad to take the snap.

But when he graduated tojunior football, Parray finallygot his chance to try his handat receiver.

Parray did well enough,scoring a pair of touchdownsover his first two years with the Huskers. Buthe didn’t see much of the ball for a good rea-son: when your quarterback is finding him-self under constant pressure and assault, hedoesn’t exactly have a lot of time to pick outreceivers downfield.

All that pressure also made it hard for theHuskers to recruit a new quarterback for their2013 season.

Enter Parray. Eventually. Midway throughtraining camp this year, with the Huskers’quarterback situation in flux, a frustrated,half-joking Parray floated the idea of tryinghis hand behind centre.

“Not yet,” he was told.Soon the Huskers’ brain trust reconsidered,

at which point Parray actually had to wrap hismind around a return to quarterback.

“At first I wasn’t really interested becauseI always wanted to play receiver,” he said.“The first few days I wasn’t really into it, butafter that, I realized that I could have a biggerimpact on the team.”

Suddenly every play was starting with theball in Parray’s hands. And he wasn’t quitesure whether he was ready for the leap.

“The speed of junior is lot faster and there’s

a lot less room for error compared to theyounger leagues,” he said. “I felt like it wouldtake a few games to adapt to that.”

It didn’t. Instead, Parray showed his pedi-gree right away, completing 17 of 22 passesfor 96 yards in the Huskers’ first game againstthe Okanagan Sun.

“I feel like I’ve done a lot better than I firstexpected,” Parray said. He also impressed hishead coach, Tyson St. James, who praised Par-ray’s leadership and said he was excited abouthis pivot’s potential to lead the offence.

But while he may have spent two yearscatching balls, instead of throwing them, Par-ray said that experience has made him a bet-ter quarterback.

“I feel like [by playing receiver] I learned alot more about how my receivers get open,for timing purposes,” he said.

That receiving experience has also given hima new appreciation for the level of in-gamecontrol that playing quarterback provides.

“The best part about playing quarterback forme is the play starts with theball in my hands,” he said. “Ifit’s a pass, I have the optionto run, I have the option tomake something happen,as opposed to when you’replaying receiver, there’s fouror five other guys who couldget the ball.”

The one thing the five-f o o t - t e n Pa r r a y c a n’t

improve is his height. “I’m a short guy andmost quarterbacks are big tall guys,” he said.To overcome that, Parray leans on his gamesmarts and a knowledge of the playbook.

A lack of height is a disadvantage, the rea-soning goes, if you’ve got to continually besearching for your receivers downfield. Know-ing where they’ll be ahead of time makes thatjob a lot easier.

“I feel like my knowledge is there, which givesme a bit of an edge,” he said.“Coach [and Husk-ers offensive co-ordinator] Corey [Hamade] hasgot me prepared very well. I know my reads, Iknow where the ball has to go according to whatthe defence shows. I feel confident that way.Thechallenge is just making it happen.”

After two years spent on Huskers teams thatfound it difficult, if not impossible, to scoreany points against BCFC opposition, Parray isconfident that this year’s squad will be able tofind the end zone on a regular basis.

“I have a lot of faith in my teammates thisyear,” he said. “If we just keep working I feellike we can do some positive things this year.

“I feel like there are some athletes on thisteam who can make me look good as well as Ican make them look good,” he said.

Receiver turned QBTyler Olsen/TIMES

Chilliwack Huskers quarterback Cody Parray says he has confidence that this year’s squad will beable to put points on the board.

Local kayakers say they are opposed to

a plan to install a run-of-river power

project on a Chilliwack River Valley

creek.Tamihi Creek, which enters the Chilli-

wack River just west of the Tamihi Rapids,

is popular with kayakers, who say an eight-

kilometre stretch provides a diverse range of

whitewaters that attracts users from around

the world.

But kayakers fear they won’t be able to use

the creek if a run-of-river power project pro-

posed for the creek goes ahead.

During BC Hydro’s 2006 call for tenders for

independent power

projects, KMC Energy,

a subsidiary of Win-

dRiver Power Corp.,

successfully bid for the

right to install a run-

of-river project on the

creek.

While the Tamihi remains undeveloped,

kayaker Adam Frey was spooked when he

recently visited and found pink flagging tape

lining the entire run.

When contacted by the Times, WindRiver

chief development officer Greg Trainor con-

firmed the project is “in the pre-consultation

planning stages.”

Trainor said that while the company is not

saying much publicly about the project at

this time, “there will be ample opportunity

to discuss the project during the public con-

sultation process at which time better infor-

mation will be available.”

If and when the project gets to that point,

WindRiver will face opposition to their

plans.Frey, who represents the Vancouver Kay-

ak Club (VKC) on the Outdoor Recreation

Council (ORC) of BC, said the creek is a local

treasure that provides an economic benefit

to the Chilliwack area.

Aformer firefighter dismissed

because of his age says a lack

of manpower often makes it

impossible for the Chilliwack Fire

Department (CFD) to adhere to

operational guidelines meant to

reduce health and safety risks.

Russell Shellard has asked the BC

Human Rights Tribunal to rule that

the City of Chilliwack’s mandatory

retirement age of 60 for firefighters is

discriminatory. On Friday, the tribu-

nal declined to throw out Shellard’s

complaint.

Shellard, formerly a paid-on-call

firefighter, was forced out of the

department at the start of 2012.

In his submission to the tribunal,

Shellard argued“it is not uncommon

with CFD fire ground scenes to be

lacking sufficient manpower in order

to follow operational guidelines set

out to reduce health and safety risks

for firefighters. . . . The older per-

sonnel, because of life experiences,

are vital and help reduce the risk of

health and safety on all emergency

scenes.”The city says the age requirement

is needed because the job’s physical

demands put older firefighters more

at risk of deadly on-the-job heart

attacks.According to the tribunal’s ruling,

Fire Chief Rick Ryall suggested “the

work for paid-on-call firefighters is

more dangerous than for full-time

career firefighters” because they

can be paged at any time and must

Cassidy Ediger’s bedroom in her Chilliwack

home is filled with flower-shaped lights, and

the walls are painted blue.

“Same colour as a Tiffany box,”

said her mom, Carolyn Ediger. “When we head

home, she starts to laugh and giggle. It’s like

heaven to her—it’s where she wants to be.”

The Ediger family’s 12-year-long fight for jus-

tice after their daughter Cassidy was left with

severe brain damage due to a botched delivery has final-

ly come to a close.

Cassidy, now 15, lives with spastic quadriplegia and

cerebral palsy. She and her family will be awarded $3.2

million in damages after the Supreme Court of Canada

unanimously restored a decision this month against

obstetrician and gynecologist William G. Johnston for

breaching the standard of care during her birth in 1998.

The initial 2009 trial decision found he had failed to

ensure a backup surgical staff was readily available to

help deliver the child by caesarean section when a for-

ceps procedure failed.

Johnston successfully appealed that decision in 2011,

before the family pushed to have the case heard in Can-

ada’s top court.

“We’re really overjoyed and just completely over-

whelmed,” said Ediger, who launched the court action

in 2008 on behalf of her daughter, and had even begun

discussing legal action when Cassidy was only

three.“It’s a huge burden lifted off our shoulders

and it’s just complete peace of mind, knowing

we’ll be able to provide for her (financially) for

the rest of her life.”

In January 1998, Johnston induced labour early

at 38 weeks after determining Ediger’s pregnancy was high

risk. After running into complications part way through

the delivery, he decided to switch to a caesarean proce-

dure instead, and left the room to make arrangements.

It has been a long fight for Cassidy Ediger’s family with her mother Carolyn Ediger seen here at their home in Chilli-

wack last week. Last Thursday the Supreme Court of Canada restored a $3.2-million award for a botched forceps

delivery that left Cassidy with permanent brain damage 15 years ago.

Aboriginal elders will rally at

the Sto:lo Nation grounds

Wednesday to protest a

“moral injustice” they say they

have suffered at the hands of the

Coqualeetza Cultural Education

Centre (CCEC) board of directors.

The Coqualeetza Elders Group

(CEG) has been a part of CCEC

for almost 40 years, but in Janu-

ary, members say the CCEC board

suddenly and without consulta-

tion announced it was dissolv-

ing the program and, further, that

any group that remained would

be forbidden to use the name

“Coqualeetza.”

Members of the group, which

meets weekly for luncheons and

engages in cultural activities in the

community, said they have tried

unsuccessfully to meet with the

board to resolve the issue and now

have no choice but to make their

grievance public.

“What they’re doing is totally dis-

respectful,” CEG president Virginia

Joe said of the board, “and in our

culture respect is one of the biggest

things that we talk about.”

The Jan. 30 letter announcing

the dissolution of the group pro-

vides no rationale for the board’s

decision, stating only that the

board had “reviewed [its] mandate

regarding program funding and

service delivery” and was dissolv-

ing the group “following the CCEC

mandate and policies, the voices of

Tamihi Creek has become

a “poster child” for British

Columbia waterways endan-

gered by independent power proj-

ects (IPP), according to a provincial

recreation group.

The popular kayaking creek—

which feeds into the Chilliwack River

just below the Tamihi Rapids—has

been named one of two “rivers to

watch” by the Outdoor Recreation

Council (ORC) of British Colum-

bia, which released its annual Most

Endangered Rivers List Monday.

The Fraser River was also on the

list, having been named the second-

most endangered river in the prov-

ince, behind the Peace.

Tamihi Creek is the location of a

proposed 15-megawatt power proj-

ect by KMC Energy, a subsidiary of

WindRiver Power Corp. Last month

the Times reported that local kay-

aker Adam Frey recently found pink

flagging tape along the entire run,

leading to worries that work on the

project would soon begin.

A WindRiver official told the Times

the project is in the “pre-consulta-

tion planning stages.”

ORC executive director Jeremy

McCall said the Tamihi is a stand-

in for hundreds of creeks and rivers

around the province that are threat-

ened by such projects.

“They’re called run-of-river proj-

ects [but] that is almost a total mis-

nomer,” McCall said. Instead, he

says the projects siphon off much

of the water and divert it through

pipes, thereby affecting fish down-

stream and the humans who use

the waterways for recreational pur-

poses.“To many, Tamihi Creek is becom-

ing a poster child of sorts, empha-

sizing the need for better regional

planning when it comes to IPP devel-

opment; something that has been

Ayear after reporting that Chill-iwack residents were threemore times likely than aver-age British Columbians to be

licensed medical marijuana growers,the Times has learned the number hastripled.

According to figures obtained throughan Access to Information request inJanuary 2012, 238 Chilliwackresidents were licensed topossess marijuana for medi-cal reasons and 193 werelicensed to produce marijua-na for medical purposes.

There were 4,608 licensedusers and 3,831 licensedgrowers in all of BritishColumbia 13 months ago. That trans-lated to about 85 growers and 102 usersper 100,000 people. But Chilliwack hadabout 280 growers and 344 users per100,000 residents.

Health Canada has told the Timesthere are now 666 persons in Chilliwackwho hold a licence to possess marijua-na for medical purposes.

That’s a 180 per cent increase in oneyear and mirrors provincial increases.As of Feb. 18, there were 13,362 peoplein B.C. authorized to possess, up 190per cent from a year ago, and account-

ing for nearly half of the 28,076 acrossCanada.

The number of those growing mari-juana increased even more.

As of last week, there were 513 indi-viduals in Chilliwack who hold personaluse production licences (PUPL) and 77who hold designated person produc-tion licences (DPPL). Assuming the 193number from a year ago included bothPUPLs and DPPLs (Health Canada wasunable to confirm this by press time)

that’s a three-fold, or 206per cent, increase in grow-ers in the city in one year.

Provincewide, the num-ber of growers rose from3,831 a year ago to 11,601(9,369 PUPLs and 2,232DPPLs) today. That com-pares to a total of 9,846

growers in the nine other provinces andthree territories combined.

In the past decade, Health Canadasays the medical marijuana programhas grown exponentially across thecountry, from under 500 authorizedpersons in 2002 to more than 28,000today.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz and several citycouncillors have made no secret of theirhealth and safety concerns regardingmedical marijuana licences.

More local students aregraduating within sixyears of starting Grade 8,

but the Chilliwack school districtstill lags almost seven per centbehind the provincial grad-rateaverage, according to 2011-12 sta-tistics released last week.

The district saw a 3.3 per centincrease in its six-year completionrate overall last year, with a 5.1 percent gain among girls and a 1.4 percent bump among boys.

Dawson Creek currently chargesenergy companies the equivalentof $11,000 for every Olympicswimming pool’s worth of waterpurchased from the city. The cor-responding charge to the samecompanies by the provincial gov-ernment amounts to less than $3.

MLA Steve Thomson, whoseMinistry of Forests, Lands andNatural Resource Operations isresponsible for water authoriza-tions, acknowledged recentlythat the government must reformB.C.’s century-old Water Act.

In response to questions inthe provincial legislature, Thom-son said he generally supportspolicies that would address thethree deficiencies noted above.Thomson also said that as partof its promised Water Act “mod-ernization,” the government isconsidering new groundwaterlegislation.

Environment minister MaryPolak has said further that

“improved measurement andreporting of water use will be akey feature” in legislation that isnow expected in 2014. All of thisis to be applauded and cannotcome soon enough.

In Ontario recently, the provin-cial government imposed ruleson Nestlé when it renewed thecompany’s water-taking permitat a well near the community ofGuelph.

The new rules made it manda-tory that Nestlé limit withdrawalsin times of drought.

Nestlé appealed that deci-sion to Ontario’s Environmen-tal Appeals Tribunal and thennegotiated a new set of proposedterms to its permit with provin-cial authorities.

Wellington Water Watchers, alocal conservation organization,and the Council of Canadians

subsequently sought standingbefore the tribunal, which has yetto render a decision.

The good news is that in Ontar-io there is a debate. We can onlyhope that the same holds trueone day soon in British Colum-bia.◗ Ben Parfitt is a resource policyanalyst with the Canadian Cen-tre for Policy Alternatives andresearch associate with the Uni-versity of Victoria’s POLIS Projecton Ecological Governance.

Ribs need low temperatures and a moist environment.

Moist mopping

Everyone, other thanvegans and vegetar-ians, loves a good rack

of pork ribs that have beencooked to perfection. Thetrouble is, how does oneachieve this on the barbecuewithout making them toughand dried out?

Unlike the typical grillingof steaks and chops, ribsneed low temperatures ina moist environment fora long period of time tobecome tender and juicy.Outdoor gas grills and char-coal barbecues howevernever produce moist heatand this is where you, thehome chef, come in. As theribs are cooking, a wet liquidcalled a “mopping solution”will need to be applied tothe ribs regularly as theycook. I make a simple mop-ping solution by combininghalf cup of beer, half cupof vinegar, four choppedgarlic cloves, a few slices ofonion, and a tablespoon ofdry meat spice rub. This isenough mopping liquid fortwo racks of ribs and can beeasily applied with a bastingbrush.

You will be cooking theribs over indirect heat, sopurchase only enough racksof ribs that will fit on yourgrill in this manner. Indirectheat means that there willbe a heat source not directlyunder where the ribs will be.On a gas grill this would beachieved by having the liddown and keeping one ormore burners on, but plac-ing the ribs over the one ormore burners that will stayoff. On a charcoal grill thiswould mean using a heatdeflector. Decide on a gooddry meat rub (spice mix)or make one yourself. Coatboth sides of your racks of

ribs with this spice rub.Preheat your grill to

approximately 275 to 300F. You are going to need tobe able to maintain thistemperature for three tothree-and-a-half hours withthe lid down. Firstly placethe spice-coated ribs boneside down and cook indi-rectly for a half hour. Lift thelid and mop the tops of theribs, then close the lid andcook for another half hourbefore mopping again. Basi-cally you are going to gener-ously mop the ribs every 30minutes, cooking with thelid closed in between thesetimes and maintaining thesuggested temperature.Once you hit the three-hourmark, lift the lid and coatthe tops with your favouritesauce. Close the lid andcook for 10 minutes, thensauce again, cook another10 minutes, sauce oncemore, and then a final 10more minutes.

Carefully remove thecooked tender ribs and letthem sit for five to 10 min-

utes before serving.These cooked ribs won’t

be as tender and delicate asribs that are braised in liquidin the oven, but they willdefinitely have more “flame-licked” taste. Charcoal grillsare great for adding real bar-becue flavor, while gas grillstend to be lacking in thisdepartment. Buying a smok-er box designed for yourgas grill with soaked woodsmoking chips will help toimprove this. I recommendsoaking your wood chipsfor at least one hour beforedraining and using. Smokerboxes and wood chips canusually be found at localdepartment stores, hard-ware stores, barbecue shops,or gourmet food stores.

The cooking times andtemperatures mentionedin this column are approxi-mate and will depend uponthe quality of grill or bar-becue you are using andthe accuracy of your grillthermometer. What youare trying to achieve is aslow-cooked internal meattemperature of 190 to 205F before resting and serv-ing. A good instant readthermometer will help youaccomplish this. Digitalones are easier to read andthus a good quality one willbe worth the investment formany recipes in the future.
