If Mike Zonta’s monthly mortgage-sizedstudent loan payments weren’t enough of astressor, finding out that his personal infor-mation may have been stolen is a further
burden.Zonta is one of 583,000 Canada Student
Loans Program borrowerswhose personal informa-tion—social insurancenumbers (SIN), dates ofbirth, addresses—wereon a hard drive that wentmissing from a HumanResources and SkillsDevelopment (HRSDC)office in Quebec nearlythree months ago.

What goes on behind closeddoors at Premier ChristyClark’s women’s-only meet-
ings in communities around theprovince?
Lots of talking and hugging, ofcourse, what else?
“To me the really important partof it is the dialogue,” said Clark inan interview with local media beforeone such meeting Thursday at theCoast Chilliwack Hotel. “What hap-pens in these groups is it’s not a dia-logue between me and the womanwho’s offered a comment. It’s adialogue in the whole room. Whatoften happens is one woman willsay something, I’ll respond and then
another woman will chip in and aanother woman, and we will be talk-ing as a group.”
She went on to describe how, atanother meeting recent-ly, she started by shakinghands with the women asthey arrived until one wom-an asked the premier if shehugged.
“A f t e r t h a t , e v e r y -b o d y — a n d t h e s e we rewomen executives andentrepreneurs—hugged,”Clark said. “That does not happen ingroups of men.”
The Women’s Dialogue with Pre-mier Christy Clark was hosted by the
BC Liberals.Outgoing Chilliwack MLA John
Les has been quoted as saying that’snot an indication there’s a battle
shaping up in Chilliwackfor the female vote despitemuch having been made ofthe sex factor Jan. 19, whenthe NDP picked two women(former Chilliwack Chamberof Commerce executive PattiMacAhonic and current MLAGwen O’Mahony) to faceoff against two male Liberal
candidates (John Martin and LaurieThroness) in the upcoming May 14election.
But Clark has faced her own gen-
der battle since becoming premier,with polls showing women’s supportfor both her party and her premier-ship lagging behind the NDP.
Clark dodged when asked if she’stired of answering questions aboutthe “woman politician” thing (“I nev-er get tired of questions,” she said),but took a shot at explaining some ofthe challenges of being a woman inpolitics.
“There’s always a balance to befound between leading and listening,and I think women, in particular, wantboth,” she said. “And I think womenexpect it from women politicians
Lee Anne Hanson, manager withPacific Community ResourcesSociety“I came because I thinks it’s reallyimportant for women to share indecision-making and to make ourpresence known.”
Premier hugs it out with women
Barb Meservia“My friend asked me to come. And Ithought it was really great becauseI’ve never gotten involved in politicsbefore, but I do watch it and I listen toall the news and everything. And I likeChristy Clark. I think she’s pretty.”
Hanne Selby, realtor with Chilli-wack and District Real EstateBoard“I want to find out what Christy hasto tell us. I’d like to see what shehas to say.”
Shirley McCullough“I think it’s an opportunity to be partof something that is important towomen and everyone. It’s a chanceto meet our premier, and how manyopportunities do you get to do that?”

Mary-Anne Gehman, RootZoneLandscape and Design owner“I just wanted to see what ChristyClark had to say. And it’s a Wom-en’s Dialogue event, so I thoughwhy not.”
Kristen Mundstock, lawyer andpartner at Patten Thornton“It’s just an opportunity to see thepremier. Just to see what she’s likeand to see her up close in person.I’ve never seen her in person orspeak in person. It’s just an oppor-tunity to see what she’s like as aspeaker and because she’s in aposition of power as a woman.”
Sue Attrill, Chilliwack CityCouncillor“I came today because ChristyClark is our premier, and I’m alwaysinterested to hear what the pro-vincial government is up to, and Ithink she’ll probably focus a littlebit on women’s issues, which isinteresting.”

The Chilliwack Mt. Cheam Rotary Club isdefiant in the face of vandals who cov-ered their new $25,000 outdoor fitness
park at Watson Glen Park with spray-paintedpenises, homophobic slurs and other offensivesexual graffiti over a week ago.
“A lot of people said it was a bad idea becauseit’s just going to get wrecked,” said RotarianScott Simpson about the park, which his clubfunded and built last summer. “We thought,yeah, but if you have that fear then nothingever gets done, so let’s do it and we’ll just dealwith it.”
And deal with it they did.
Simpson was one of about 10 Rotary volun-teers who spent three hours Saturday morningscrubbing away the last of the mess.
Earlier in the week, the City of Chilliwackhad a worker on the site for about six hourscleaning off the sign board. A crew then pow-er-washed the concrete pad for about threehours, according to Simpson.
He was first alerted to the graffiti Monday viaFacebook, where someone had posted a mes-sage about it.
He dropped by the park—behind Twin RinksArena and less than a block from Mt. Slessemiddle school—on his lunchbreak Tuesdayand was appalled.

that a credit flag forces the bankto look into who might be apply-ing for credit in your name, buthe added that is not the same asthe $15-a-month credit monitor-ing that HRSDC had suggestedthe borrowers should buy.
For Zonta, the credit monitor-ing is the least the governmentcan do given the breach of secu-rity. He thinks they should go fur-ther and reissue social insurancenumbers.
Zonta still has a number ofquestions that so far no one hasanswered. Foremost, he wonderswhy it took so long to notify thepublic about the security breach.
“It has been over a monthand they never actually notifiedthe individuals affected,” Zontasaid. “What sort of environmentis this information being storedin, where in over a month theystill cannot confirm that it hasleft the building?”
Zonta was already bitter aboutthe government making moneywith the interest he and his wifepay on their student loans.
“The thing that irks me themost is that they could have used2.5 per cent interest above primefrom my loans to invest in aproper security system to protectmy private information,” he said.
At least one class action lawsuithas been launched related to thesecurity breach by a Newfound-land lawyer and more are likelyacross the country.
Zonta said he will join any classaction lawsuit.
The toll-free number set up byHRSDC for individuals to verifyif they are affected by this inci-dent is 1-866-885-1866. Hoursof operation are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.(EST), seven days a week.
In unrelated news, the BC Gov-ernment issued a press releaseMonday as Jan. 28 is the annualData Privacy Day. “In Canada,this year’s theme is ‘Take controlof your information, don’t letit come back to haunt you’—atheme that reflects our collectiveresponsibility to understand howchanges in technology affect ourprivacy rights,” B.C. Informationand Privacy Commissioner Eliza-beth Denham said in the release.
Residents tend to like them. Businessestend not to.
The city’s 8,000 street trees—and howthey are managed—can be the source ofsome frustration and conflict so city hallplans to create a new policy to help clarifythings.
The city’s ornamental plum trees are anexample of the conflict sometimes expe-rienced. The trees are bemoanedby some businesses that feel theyblock signage, yet they are belovedby residents, particularly whenthey flower in the spring.
Nearly 30 years ago, the cityplanted 631 ornamental plum treeson Spadina Avenue and Yale andAirport roads as an Expo ‘86 legacy.
Of these, 481 remain, many ofwhich are nearing the end of their life span,according to manager of parks Dave Snid-er.
“In a lot of cases when Mr. Snider hasto go in to take down trees, business findsthey like it better,” chief administrativeofficer Peter Monteith explained to councilabout the need for a policy. “So it puts staffin a position where you want to help . . . butthe public likes the trees.”
At the Jan. 22 meeting, Snider gave coun-cil a detailed presentation on street trees,including their benefits and costs.
Trees provide oxygen, shade the groundand sequester carbon. Studies have shownthey also reduce pedestrian and motoristspeed, which improves shopping experi-ences and safety.
The city’s budget for urban trees is$95,000 annually, which includes the costof taking care of trees after natural eventssuch as windstorms.
Residents may have noticedthat in some cases when treessuch as the ornamental plums arereplaced, the city has put in a newspecies.
“We are trying to diversify thespecies so that we have a broaderhealth in this urban forest as wellas giving the community a differ-ent show,” Snider said.
The staff recommendation approvedunanimously by city council formalized thecurrent practice of city staff into policy.
Council directed staff to create a streettree management policy covering theinventory, maintenance, removal andreplacement of street trees. City staff willbe able to cite the policy when there arebusiness and residential concerns abouttree removal and replacement.

A skateboarder make his way past Spadina Avenue’s iconic rowof plum trees Saturday.
As he retires this week afternearly 40 years on the job,Supt. Keith Robinson says he
is satisfied with the direction Chilli-wack and its downtown are headed.
Robinson, 60, has spent the lastthree-and-a-half years in charge ofthe Upper Fraser Valley RegionalDetachment (UFVRD), which polic-es Hope, Harrison Hot Springs, Kentand Chilliwack. He’ll work his lastday as a Mountie on Friday and sayshe will leave proud of his accom-plishments and looking forward toretirement.
“I’ve always said when it’s time toretire, you go out for the right rea-sons at the right time,” he told theTimes Monday.
Since coming to the UFVRD in2006, Robinson has seen the profileof Chilliwack change significantly.
And he said he’s been particularlypleased with the success of thedetachment’s crime reductionunit—which combines crime analy-sis, focus on hot spots and a prolificoffender program.
While Chilliwack’s downtownremains a hot topic among resi-dents, Robinson is convinced thatit’s turned the corner.
“I’ve seen the downtown core ofChilliwack change drastically, all forthe better so far, and I think it’s goingto get even better,” he said. “The lossof the Empress Hotel and a couple ofother derelict buildings, it’s cleanedup the area so we don’t have as muchcongregation of the people who liketo cause the community grief.”
Robinson continued:“We’ve been dealing with the
prostitution problem in the down-town core fairly strongly, and thathas moved them around and so youdon’t see as many.
“We do try to move them aroundand/or get them the help theyrequire.”
Asked about the current chal-lenges in policing, Robinson saidhe’s seen the public’s esteem of theMounties wax and wane over theyears,
“This is one of the worst cycles, asfar as scrutiny is concerned,” he said.“People focus on the negative side ofthe house instead of all of the posi-tives, and as a result you don’t see allthat’s actually happening.
“If they look at the people whoactually work within this organiza-tion, they still get into this organiza-tion for all those right reasons.”
But Chilliwack, he said, has alwaysbeen a good place to be an RCMPofficer.
“People have been very good tome. The community is very support-ive of the RCMP and very supportiveto the members.”
Robinson said he is also proudto have personally headed up adetachment, especially since he hadset that as a goal when he began hispolicing career decades ago.
But now that his career is over,Robinson is looking forward toextensive travelling, spending timewith his family and improving uponhis woodworking skills.
Robinson will head to Arizona fora couple weeks in February. He’llcontinue living in Chilliwack butplans to journey farther afield, withan eye on the Netherlands, Russiaand South America.
His successor has not yet beennamed. Whoever it is, Robinson saidhe or she will have to keep a focus oncrime reduction strategies, maintainrelationships between the variouscomponents of the regional detach-ment and deliver a good bang forthe policing buck paid by the fourmunicipalities the UFVRD serves.

“It was sick,” he said.“You’ve gotta assume it’s kids,” he contin-
ued. “I think with kids there’s a disconnect.They wouldn’t do it to their house, and yetthey see a public space and they think it’s Ok.I don’t know if they’re not engaged enough inthe community to really care or what it is.”
Ultimately, he said, the solution might be asbasic as parents knowing where their kids areat night.
One way or another, though, his clubdoesn’t intend to let this kind of senseless
vandalism get in the way of people enjoyingthe park.
By cleaning up graffiti quickly and increas-ing activity in the area, Simpson is confidentvandals can be kept in check.
“The more this gets used, the nicer it is, theless likelihood there is of this happening,” hesaid.
Is the effort worth it?“Absolutely,” he said. “ We’d come out here
Concerns that Chilliwack might be cutin half with redrawn federal electoralboundaries will be put to bed now that
a report shows the municipality intact.The Federal Electoral Boundaries Com-
mission report on the new electoral map wastabled in the House of Commons on Monday.
The proposed changes mean the new fed-eral riding of Chilliwack-Hope will have 92,735people, an 11.5 per cent variance from theelectoral quota of 104,763.
The new riding, which replaces Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon, also means the local MP willhave less travel to do as the Fraser Canyon hasbeen removed.
A draft report last summer proposedexpanding the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon rid-ing into the Cariboo. The draft map showeda boundary between Abbotsford-Sumas andChilliwack-Fraser Canyon that would be High-way 1 until Vedder Road where it would runsouth, dividing Sardis in half.
“I’ve heard from constituents all over the
riding concerned with the changes being pro-posed,” Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP MarkStrahl said in an August 2012 press release.
“The Commission has completely revisedits proposal concerning the electoral districtof Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon by designing twonew electoral districts, Mission-Matsqui-Fra-ser Canyon and Chilliwack-Hope,” the reportsays. “The new Chilliwack-Hope district hasretained the former western boundary of theexisting Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon district, andthe eastern boundary is located near Hope.Most of the Fraser Canyon portion of the exist-ing district is included in the new electoral dis-trict of Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon.”
British Columbia gains six electoral districtsas a result of the increase in population. Five ofthe new ridings are in the Lower Mainland.
Now that the report has been tabled, MPscan provide feedback, which will be consid-ered by the commission. By June a final reportwill be made law, and the new boundaries willbe in effect if an election is called more thanseven months after that.
Strahl was unavailable to comment Mondayon the report.

There’s a new radio ad comingat you through the ether, zippingabout as electromagnetic waves.When it hits an antenna, it resolvesinto sound, then into concentratedpolitical horse hooey.
This is an ad that is in no wayabout the BC Liberals and theNDP. Nope, nothing to do with thedown-in-the-polls government ofPremier Christy Clark, and with norelation whatsoever to still-aheadNDP leader Adrian Dix.
But if it isn’t about them, what isit about?
Dubbed “Dominoes” it’s a 30-second warning about the dangersof . . . something.
“Unstable government poli-cies have hurt people around theworld,” says our narrator, his voiceconveying the seriousness of hismessage. “Big government, care-less spending, and quick fixes havecaused economies to collapse,affecting families, businesses, andcommunities worldwide.”
Whoa! This is a warning ofimmediate danger!Where are wegoing with this?What countries?What governments? Are we talk-ing the level of “collapse” you seein Zimbabwe or North Korea, ora savage recession like the one inGreece or Spain? It couldn’t be.here!?!
Who knows? Having thrown in thescare, the ad is moving on, to sunnymusic and an upbeat message.
“But uncertainty stops at Brit-
ish Columbia,” says the ad. “We’restanding strong, by controllinggovernment spending, keepingtaxes low, and investing in skillstraining.”
Ah, so clearly this is a Lib-eral political ad, warning us in nouncertain terms not to kick themout this May.
But there’s one final twist! The adis apparently for the BC Jobs Plan,the website which it half-heartedlyplugs, before letting you know thatit’s paid for by your provincial gov-ernment.
You could have fooled me.The Liberals have been getting
slagged for months for their happy-happy-joy-joy BC Jobs TV ads. TheNDP’s Dix has flat out said that ifhe wins, he’ll ban this type of bla-tantly partisan advertising usingthe limitless barrel of governmentmoney—the Liberals in Ontariohave apparently already done this.
I asked the government forsome information about the whys,wherefores, and costs of this lovelycampaign of scare mongering. I didnot get a lot of solid answers.
I was told that who wrote it
will not be released—althoughprevious Freedom of Informa-tion requests have revealed thatthe government was apparentlyworried that focus groups showedpeople thought there weren’t a lotof jobs out there! Oddly, the youngand unemployed seemed to holdthis view more strongly.
You know what’s a good way tomake people less worried aboutjobs? Creating jobs instead of talk-ing about it ad nauseum!
But the ministry did say that vis-its to the BC Jobs Plan website areway up since the ads started run-ning!Which is useless for peoplelooking for work, since those with-out a job are directed to a com-pletely different site,Work BC.Yes,we have a site called BC Jobs Planthat does not contain any listingsfor, you know, jobs.
As for how much the radio adscost, I was told this:
“This ad buy is not complete atthis time and is subject to change,so we do not release this informa-tion until the ad has been com-pleted.” Translation: a sack of cashso big you could use it to beat awalrus to death.
I hope Dix is serious about ban-ning this form of sound pollution,because I do not want to be re-running this column about NDPgovernment ads four or five yearsfrom now.◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporterwith the LangleyAdvance.

ou know a hundred reasons toquit smoking already, but forNational Non-Smoking Week,here’s another.
Lung cancer migrates. It can spread,into the brain, into the glands, and intothe bones. If you sign up for lung cancer,you are spinning the roulette wheel ofcancer.
Will you simply get a painful, wheezingdeath as the cancer ravages your lungs?Or will you get seizures, loss of vision,and violent mood swings as it carves itsway through your brain, through yourvery sense of self? Perhaps, if you are par-ticularly unlucky, it will take root in yourbones, giving you one of the most painfulexperiences known to humankind.
There is a more positive reason to quitsmoking, too: everyone is on your side.
Everyone. Those who’ve never smoked,and those who quit years ago willapplaud your decision. The B.C. govern-ment will be happy with you, and willeven give you free medications to helpyou quit, through the smoking cessationprogram.
Bars and pubs in B.C. will be happy thatyou’re not nipping out the door so oftenfor a smoke, letting in that cold air. Dittoyour significant other, who will be ableto avoid either allowing you to smokeinside, or banishing you to the garage ordeck.
Your bank account will be particularlypleased, and you will be happy in turnwhen you see how much more money isthere at the end of a month. It adds up,even if it’s only a couple of packs a week.
Your doctor will give you a big grin. Tryfor a fist-bump, the doc will probably gofor it.
Chefs everywhere will be happier,because you will be able to better tastetheir food.
A few years from now, you’ll havemostly forgotten why you started smok-ing the first place. You don’t wheeze goingup a couple flights of stairs any more, youcan’t stand the smell of tobacco smoke,and much of the spectre of an early deathhas been lifted from you, and from yourloved ones.
C’mon, butt out. We’re rooting for you.

Editor:Re: “Three cheers for red
tape,” Jan. 24 ChilliwackTimes.
I’d like to take this oppor-tunity to help clarify for PaulJ. Henderson the definitionof red tape, as he stated inhis column that it is almostnever explained.
Red tape is defined bymost governments engagedin reducing it as well asmost business, as burden-some, often unnecessary,government administrativeprocesses and regulatoryrequirements that pull smallbusiness owners away fromgrowing their business, andleave them spending timeon redundant, pointlessand/or complicated paper-work.
It is important to under-stand that red tape is notalways the result of regula-tions. It is often the littlethings, like an overly com-plex form or informationthat is too technical anddifficult to understand thatfrustrates businesses andcauses delays and misinter-pretation that can be costlyto business.
Mr. Henderson makesa valid point that, yes,regulations are necessaryto enforce the health, safetyand quality standards thatwe all expect in B.C. But toimply that businesses findpayroll tax, income tax,records of employment or
Statistics Canada surveysunnecessary is disingenu-ous and misrepresents theirconcerns. What they aresaying is that, when try-ing to comply with theserequirements, they faceoverly-complicated, dupli-cated rules, and this placesa back-breaking burden onbusiness, and especiallysmall businesses.
I am proud to be part of agovernment whose premieris committed to reducingthe regulatory burden andred tape that strangles thegrowth and developmentof our resource sector. It isbecause of B.C.’s commit-ment to cutting red tapethat we are able to attractbillions in investments fromaround the world, and thereason that the CanadianFederation of IndependentBusiness has awarded B.C.an “A” for its regulatory
reform initiatives—the onlyprovince to receive an “A”and our second year toreceive it.
During the 1990s, thenumber of regulations inBC rose by an average of400 per year. By 2001, therewere over 400,000 regula-tions in B.C., which costindustry billions to complywith and the province mil-lions of dollars to manage.
The B.C. governmentunderstands the cripplingimpacts of duplicative andonerous regulations onbusiness and is committedto reducing those burdens.Since 2001, more than150,000 regulatory require-ments have been cut, a 42per cent reduction, and wehave committed to holdingthat line through 2015.

Much to learnfrom seniorsEditor:
Re: “PAR for the Course”by Cornelia Naylor, Jan. 17Chilliwack Times.
It is with great sadness,and alarm, that I readthe statement by JakeHarms that, “They don’treally want to talk to adults.Adults are from a differentgeneration. They are notgoing to understand.”
Can no one get throughto these young people, thatthe adults went throughthe same situations in theirlives, and have learned fromtheir experiences, hencehave a lot of knowledge,understanding and adviceto share with these youngpeople. They understand alot more than you appar-ently realize.
Please, young people atthe Education Centre, wiseup and realize what you aresaying. Take advantage ofthe seniors’ life experiences,interview them, listen towhat they have to say andlearn from them.

assist and point streaks are all heldby different Chilliwack Chiefs. PhilipZielonka is riding a five game goal-scoring streak, Luke Esposito has aneight-game assist streak, and AustinPlevy and Esposito are each ridingnine-game point streaks (Plevy alsohas a five-game assist streak going).
As for teams, Penticton is on a six-game win streak, while Powell Riverhas lost five consecutive games.
With Mainland Divisionbragging rights on theline, the ChilliwackChiefs blew a two-goal
lead Friday as the Surrey Eaglescame from behind to win 6-4.
The Chiefs entered the weekendon a four-game win streak andhad appeared to reclaim some ofthe form shown in the fall. But badbounces, a lack of discipline anda dearth of energy cost the ChiefsFriday against the Eagles and Satur-day in a 5-1 loss to the Salmon ArmSilverbacks.
Friday’s game pitted the top twoMainland Division teams againsteach other and the first two periodslived up to the hype.
The Eagles took a lead early in thefirst on a pretty cross-crease passingplay, but the Chiefs answered backjust two minutes later when Tan-ner Cochrane cleaned up a messythree-on-two rush by banging thepuck past Surrey goalie MichaelSantaguida. Philip Zielonka gavethe Chiefs the lead soon after whenhe snapped the puck past Santagu-ida for his ninth goal in just sevengames with Chilliwack.
Jaret Babych stretched the leadwith 6:01 elapsed in the second tobegin a hectic nine minutes of play.After Brett Mulcahy clawed backa goal for the Eagles, Austin Plevyscored shorthanded to restore thelead. But Michael Stenerson andMulcahy each beat Chiefs goalieMitch Gillam to knot the game up.
After two solid periods, Chilliwackwas second best in the third. DrewBest gave the Eagles the lead justtwo minutes in, and Kevan Kilistoffsealed the victory midway through
the period on a nice deflection.“In the third, it seemed like we
couldn’t get any energy whatsoever,”Chiefs head coach Harvey Smylsaid. “We didn’t handle adversityvery well.”
The following evening, the Chiefscame up against a Silverbacks squadwith the aim of grinding out an uglyroad win.
Salmon Arm scored early in thefirst on the power play and held a2-1 lead after 20 minutes, with BenMasella scoring the Chiefs’ goal latein the period. After a scoreless sec-ond, the Silverbacks put three goalson the board in the third to earn a5-1 victory.
“Salmon Arm played a reallygreasy type of road game,” Smylsaid. “They were a hard-workingteam that was committed to playingsolid defence and we were a team
of individualists that tried to dothings on our own.We didn’t havean attack of units, we had an attackof individuals.”
Spending lots of time in the boxNo other BCHL team has spent
more time killing penalties this yearthan Chilliwack. The Chiefs havebeen shorthanded 243 times thisyear, 34 more times than the nextmost-penalized team.
Against Surrey, the Chiefs foundthemselves killing eight penal-ties, while the Eagles were onlyshort-handed once. Salmon Arm,meanwhile, went one-for-four onthe power play. The Chiefs penaltykilling has been good—Surrey wentone-for-eight on the power play,but also surrendered a shorthandedgoal—but it’s still a truism that it’sbetter to play with five players on
the ice than four.Smyl attributed his team’s high
penalty-rate to the aggressive stylehe asks his team to play. But he isconcerned about some of the rea-sons his players are finding them-selves serving two minutes. “It’s thetype of penalties that we’re taking:the hook, the hold, the rough afterthe whistle. Those types of penaltiesare really hurting us,” he said.
Thompson suspended for hitChiefs captain David Thompson
was forced to miss Saturday’s gameafter being suspended for twogames for a hit-from-behind late inFriday’s contest.
Thompson was handed a five-minute major and a game miscon-duct after hitting Surrey’s BradyShaw. He will also miss Friday’sgame in Salmon Arm.
Chiefs lay weekend goose egg

Two residential properties in Rosedalewere rezoned as commercial parkingby city council at last Tuesday’s meet-
ing in the next step of Tycrop Manufactur-ing’s expansion plans.
And while there has been considerablecommunity opposition to Tycrop’s plans,council hoped the rezoning would alleviatesome neighbourhood concerns over thatissue.
“I think this is a step that Tycrop should becongratulated for, for listening to the com-
munity and trying to bring forward some-thing that works,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said.
Roger Tweedle who lives next door to oneof the properties was the only person toaddress council about his concerns.
“Tycrop . . . has taken up all the industrialcomponent of the village space and is nowentering the village itself with the apparentgoal of taking out an entire block of qualityfamily homes,” Tweedle said.
The two properties, 51360 and 51390 YaleRd., are directly east and west of the MercerHouse, a 1902 farmhouse that the companyalso owns and has offered to give away if itcan be moved.

more than they do from men politicians.”Another challenge, she said, is the media’s
preoccupation with female politicians’looks.
“For women there is a tendency to focuson what you wear, how you talk that doesn’treally apply to men all the time, and I thinkthat’s a distraction for the media,” she said.“I don’t think for the public, I think it’s a dis-traction for the media. And I only say thatbecause I notice how often the media talksabout what I’m wearing, how I look, thosekinds of things.”
Given that focus, are youth and attractive-ness a liability or an asset for female politi-cians?
“I don’t know,” quipped Clark. “I don’t feellike I have either, so maybe I’m the wrongperson. Maybe you should ask [former B.C.finance minister] Carole Taylor.”
A Courtenay, B.C., 98.9 JetFM radio lis-tener didn’t see it that way last month,though, when he asked the premier via DJJustin “Drex” Wilcomes what it was like tobe a MILF (a lewd acronym for an attractivemom).
Clark has been criticized for her response,which was to laugh at the question and say itwas better to be a MILF than a cougar (slangfor an older woman who seeks the companyof younger men). She also said she saw thequestion as a compliment and thanked thelistener who prompted it.
Would Clark answer that question differ-ently today?
“I don’t know,” she said. “I answered it the
way I answered it. I suppose if I’d answeredit a different way, you might be asking me,‘Would you have answered it differently?How come you have no sense of humour?”
In Chilliwack, which had never elected awoman to a political office higher than themunicipal level until O’Mahony won the2012 byelection, female voters who wantto see women have more influence in gov-ernment could be tempted by the NDP’s allfemale slate.
Clark, however, urges those women to lookhigher up in government.
“If gender matters to you, do you want amale premier or a female premier?” she said.“I guess you could put it in that context. Ifyou look at the cabinet, we have more wom-en in this cabinet than I think we’ve ever hadin any cabinet—or we’ve come close—inBritish Columbia. The most powerful peoplein the province, are women. Would you likethat to continue?”
For the most part, though, the premiersaid women ultimately care about the sameissues as men come election time.
“Between elections, women may be think-ing about different issues,” she said, “but Ithink when you get to an election, womenare thinking about the same fundamentaleconomic issues: How do I make sure thatmy family’s future is secure? How do I makesure my kids have a better life than I did?That’s a universal question whatever yoursex.”

from women who want transitional housing.He said the safety provided by the mission isone of the main draws.
He expects 20 women to be living in themission by mid-February.
With Ruth & Naomi’s now operating on a$900,000 yearly budget, chair Wayne Masseysaid the non-profit is “all grown up.”
Massey said the organization had ini-tially looked at acquiring the yellow MercerHouse that currently sits inRosedale on land owned byTycrop. But they found thatdoing so would cost toomuch money.
So instead, they settledon the home next door.
The purchase of the adja-cent Princess Avenue homewill allow the women to have the upstairs tothemselves without the intrusion of men.There will also be a family room for mothersto meet with their children not in their cus-tody. Original plans had the men and wom-en sleeping in bedrooms in separate areas ofthe upstairs but sharing a common area.
Premier Christy Clark attended Thursday’sannouncement flanked by BC Liberal candi-
dates Laurie Throness and John Martin.The Premier—whose government kicked
in money to help fund the mission’s transi-tion house—praised the project in languagebefitting the faith-based mission.
“We see God’s hands at work in so manyplaces in Chilliwack,” she said, “And we seeit in particular here at this mission. And this
is why the provincial gov-ernment is so pleased tobe financial supporters ofwhat you’re doing.
“The citizens who sup-por t your gover nmentthrough your tax dollarswant to know that in a soci-ety as wealthy as this one,
we do everything we can to support thoseof us in our community who are struggling,who might find themselves out of work, whomay be struggling with addiction and men-tal illness and might have trouble finding aplace.
“Reaching out a hand is what God calls onall of us to do,” she said. “You make that veryreal everyday.”

With so many waysto read, there’s noexcuse for not tak-
ing the City Wide LiteracyChallenge Feb. 1 to 21, saysChilliwack Learning Com-munity Society literacy co-ordinator Debbie Denault.
“People can read want theywant,” she said. “People canread to someone else or havesomeone else read to them.They can read paper, theycan read e-readers, they canread comic books, novels,newspapers, anything at all.”
The challenge—to readfor 20 minutes a day for 21days—is aimed at readersand non-readers alike.
“We want people who lovereading to keep reading andpeople who don’t love read-ing or struggling with read-ing to give it a try,” Denaultsaid.
Now in its fourth year, theevent is gaining in popular-ity, with participation morethan tripling last year.
Organizers designed thechallenge around the notionthat it takes 20 minutes aday for 21 days to establish
a habit—and a reading habitis well worth having, accord-ing to Denault.
“It’s really good for ourbrains,” she said. “We learnso much, and what we readcan inspire us or help us go
in new directions.”Along with all the other
benefits, participants whocomplete the challenge alsoget a chance to win prizes ofbooks and gift certificates bykeeping track of their read-
ing on a ballot clipped fromthe Times and handing it inby 3 p.m. on Feb. 24 or bysubmitting a ballot online.◗ For drop off locations, visitwww.chilliwacklearning.com.

Alida Plante (Saulnier)May 25, 1932 ~ January 27, 2012
Do not stand at my grave and weep,I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain,I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight,I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,I am not there, I did not die.
We miss you dearly and cherishour times that we had together.
With love from theSaulnier and Plante familes.
