If it’s not the strangest part-timejob in Chilliwack, then it mustbe in the top-five.

Kirste Fritz, to put it bluntly,removes the eyes of dead people.

Fritz is an on-call enucleator forFraser Health. When somebody inthe Valley no longer needs the useof their healthy eyes—when they’redead, in other words—and whenthat person is a registered organdonor, it’s time for an enucleator togo to work.

Most people are at least passinglyfamiliar with how vital organs—the heart, kidneys and liver—areremoved from a “living corpse”in order to be transplanted into

desperate recipients.The removal of eyes is nothing

like that. Neither are those whoconduct the operation.

We’ll start with Fritz. Despitebeing just 25 years old, she carrieswith her the serious, professionaldemeanor that is necessary whenyou have a job that necessitatesspending large quantities of timealone in morgues, often in the

middle of the night.Her young age is not uncommon

for an enucleator; the procedureis delicate but relatively simpleand the on-call nature of the jobis attractive to medical studentsand those trying to bolster theirresumes and get a foot in the doorof a medical profession.

Fritz, doesn’t need to updateher resume—she’s already a

post-surgical nurse at ChilliwackGeneral Hospital. For her, the jobis an extension of a passion thatdates back to school.

“I a l w a y s w a n t e d t o b e asurgeon,” she said. But Fritz alsowanted a life, and the decade ofschooling and long hours requiredto be a surgeon, convinced her tobecome a nurse.

In her final year of school, whileinterning at CGH, a patient onher floor donated his eyes. Fritzfollowed along as two would-beenucleators were trained in theprocess.

Hearing about the step-by-stepprocess triggered her interest inenucleation.

“It is very surgical,” she said.

FarmsversusFish

BY PAUL J. [email protected]

Andy Bodnar has beengrowing crops and milkingcows on land adjacentto Mountain Slough in

Agassiz for his entire life just as hisfather did before him.

The issue of flooding on hisland—which stands just 12 metresabove sea level—has been front-and-centre for as long as hisfamily’s cows have provided milk.

But recent endangered speciesconsultation meetings held by thefederal fisheries department heldin Chilliwack and Agassiz havebrought up old wounds, and onceagain old battle lines are beingdrawn and farms are being pittedagainst fish.

Farmers want ditches, whichsometimes criss-cross crop land,to be regularly cleaned out withexcavators to allow for properdrainage in the flood-prone land.

The Department of Fisheries andOceans (DFO) approves drainagerequests and, in efforts to protectspecies listed under the SpeciesAt Risk Act (SARA), wants othertechniques used to allow for bothdrainage and fish habitat to bemaintained.

sense to call ditches that were dug toclear the land and create farmland “fishhabitat.”

DFO says fish habitat is, quite simply,wherever fish are.

For Bodnar, this loose definitionof the word “stream” implies that thewater running down a street next to thecurb could suddenly come under DFOscrutiny.

Bodnar, some of his neighbours andother members of the District of Kent’sdrainage committee, including formercouncillor Ted Westlin and formermayor Sylvia Pranger, sat down with theTimes last week to discuss what they seeas a problem that is only getting worse.

“The bottom line is, these ditches weredug for agriculture purposes,” Prangersaid. “If fish happen to be there, that’s abonus. . . . Where do people think theirfood comes from?”

“We don’t need farms, we can go toSafeway,” farmer Tony Stokley joked.

The debate over the Salish suckerrecovery strategy has very little to dowith this particular fish or this particularplan—the issue of DFO species recoveryclashing with Fraser Valley farmers goesback many decades.

With the recent snow and rain, muchof Bodnar’s fields have been nearly orcompletely covered with water for daysat a time. He is exasperated with thenotion that if he has a low spot in the

middle of a field and he puts in a swalethat he can still farm through, that swalesuddenly comes under the purview ofDFO.

“That swale basically becomesfisheries: it’s a waterway,” Bodnar said.

While this example is an extreme one,according to Agassiz-based fisheriesbiologist Mike Pearson, it is also anover-simplification of the fact thatwhen ditches were dug for agriculture,there were many natural fish bearingwatercourses that were filled in. Pearsonwrote the draft recovery strategy for theSalish sucker for DFO

“One has to recognize the amountof habitat that has been lost by thesesame ditches,” he said. “What was therebefore was lots of wetlands and lots ofit has been filled in. Legally there is nodistinction [between an agriculturalditch and a natural stream].”

But Bodnar and his fellow farmers saythe policy that restricts ditch cleaningis actually making the situation worse,creating stagnant sloughs and allowinggrass to overgrow.

Pearson, who has studied thewaterways in the area for years, saysthat simply is not true.

“The problem is grass,” Pearsonsaid. “What grows grass? Fertilizer andsunlight.”

He says the farmers’ over-fertilizing

fields coupled with a refusal to plantvegetation on stream banks lead to thegrowth of plant material that is chokingout species such as the Salish sucker.

Farmers are concerned about thedetailed maps that identify Salish suckerhabitat; they worry that up-to-30-metreriparian zones will be applied all overprivate agricultural land. Pearson saidthe strategy is so far purely a biologicalassessment and he was not allowed totake socio-economic considerationsinto account. He said the consultationhas been triggered because this is thefirst time ever in Canada that criticalhabitat has been identified on privateland.

And while he doesn’t know what DFO’saction plan for recovery will consist ofwhen it is finally prepared, he thinksthere has been a lot of misunderstandingand miscommunication.

“I can assure you it will not be 30-metre buffers on farmland all over thevalley,” he said.

So will DFO and farmers ever getalong?

Pearson is hopeful, because he thinksthat despite the fact that there willalways be flooding in the Fraser Valley,the solutions aren’t that complicated.

“It’s a matter of getting shade on[ditches] and a regular maintenanceprogram,” he said.

Votingtheirwayout ofFVRDBY ROCHELLE BAKERFor the Times

Abbotsford city councilis likely to vote to with-draw from the Fraser

Valley Regional District, saysMayor George Peary.

City staff has recommend-ed that Abbotsford leave theregional district as it paysclose to half of the funding formany of FVRD’s key services,but most benefits go to small-er rural communities.

The move to pull out ofthe FVRD came up last weekwhen the Abbotsford cham-ber of commerce executivedirector called the regionaldistrict model outdated andsaid that city’s taxpayers were“supporting the rural out-back.”

Chilliwack Mayor SharonGaetz said projects such asair quality, growth predictionsand a transportation studywere things “better donetogether than separately.”

The relevance of Abbots-ford’s decision is so far unclearas the provincial governmentwould have to approve such amove.

A spokesperson for the Min-istry of Community, Sport andCultural Development toldthe Times that there is cur-rently no legislative processfor a municipality to secedefrom a regional district.

Peary said Abbotsfordhad an obligation to pursueoptions that reduce its tax-payers’ burden.

“I bel ieve the major-ity of council will support [theidea],” he said. “It’s nothingpersonal. It’s just businessfrom our perspective, and

“You open up your sterilefield and you have to removethe tissue.”

In June of 2009, after a yearof waiting for a position toopen up, Fritz was hired. Shestarted working on her ownin September and has beenremoving eyes ever since.

“It is a little strange, yes,but that’s never bothered meand in some cases I think it’skind of cool. I’ve always likedthat side of things,” she said.“Some of my friends think itsreally weird but, you know,it’s totally been up my alleymy whole life.”

T h e p r o c e d u re i t s e l fis delicate, but relativelysimple.

Eyes are the only organthat can be removed afterthe body is completely dead.Because of that, when Fritzarrives all the other organshave already been removedand the chest cavity has beensewn back up.

She begins with a 45-minute chart review, thenconducts a head-to-toeexam on the dead body,looking for any signs thatmay indicate that the personcannot donate his or hereyes—intravenous drug use,for instance.

A blood sample is takenfrom the neck, then thesurgical tools come out. Fritzbegins the procedure byopening up a sterile field and

draping the face of the deadperson so that only the eyebeing removed is visible.

While a device holds theeyelids open, Fritz makes anincision around the iris, thecoloured part of the eye. thatseparates the conjunctiva, aclear film that goes over theeye and under the eyelid (itis the conjunctiva’s bloodvessels that are visible whenyou have bloodshot eyes).

Its separation allows theenucleator to isolate fourmuscles that hold the eye inplace and enable it to move.The enucleator places aclamp on the final muscle—the medial muscle—beforemaking the cut.

After severing the opticner ve—the wir ing thattransmits visual stimuli tothe brain—Fritz uses theclamp to remove the eye andplace it in a small containersimilar to that used to holdcamera film.

Wet cotton is placed inthe sockets and capped withspecial plastic discs thatallow the eyelids to be closed,with no visual sign that theeyes have been removed.

“You can have an opencasket,” she said. “Quiteoften, if the family’s still thereafter death, they’ll leave andI’ll do the procedure andthey have no idea the eyesare missing.

“That’s a big part of whatwe do at the Eyebank. It’svery important for us that itdoesn’t ever look like we arethere, for the family’s sakeand the patient’s sake as well,just out of respect.”

A f t e r t h e e y e s a r eextracted, Fritz drives theeyes to the Eyebank. There,the eyes are dissected andtheir var ious par ts areparcelled out to patientsin need. Each cornea canbe cut into three differentpieces, so the eyes of oneperson can help restore thevision of six different people.

On top of that, the scleracan sometimes be usedto drape somebody’s fakeeye. When the musclesare reattached, the fakeeye will be able to move inconjunction with a real eye.Some tissue can also be usedto repair eyelids.

Those benefits make it easyfor Fritz to explain her uniquejob to friends and family.

“I do it because it’s sointeresting and wonderful. Idon’t think everybody coulddo it but, it’s so beneficial inso many ways,” she said.

“At first people think that’screepy and weird but whenyou explain to them thebenefits from it and howmuch can come from oneperson donating their eyes,they think, ‘oh wow.’”

AChilliwack sheriff saysa decision to use prisonguards officers to make

up for staffing shortfalls atlocal courthouses is a “slap inthe face” and compromisingcourt security.

Three high-profile gangmurder trials in Greater Van-couver are expected to requiremore men and women tokeep the peace and ensuresecurity. That task has tradi-tionally fallen to trained dep-uty sheriffs.

But with more men andwomen needed to keep orderin courthouses, the sheriffservices division of the courtservices branch has decidedto use corrections officers incourthouse jails in the LowerMainland, including in Chilli-wack, to make up staffingshortages.

But prison guards shouldn’tbe doing a job for which theyhaven’t been trained, saidthe sheriff, who didn’t wanthis name printed because hesays he would be disciplined

for speaking out.“It’s a slap to our face to say,

well, we can bring in some-one else to do your job whileall along we’ve been sayingthat security is an issue incourthouses because of staff-ing,” he said, noting that thesheriffs have been pleadingfor more staff for more thana year. “We constantly runshort, which directly affectsthe safety and security of thebuilding and that affects thesafety and security of thejudges, the people who workhere, people who come in.”

He says he has nothingagainst corrections offi-cers—in fact, the same union,the BCGEU, represents bothgroups. But he said that keep-ing order in a courthouse ismarkedly different from polic-ing a prison. For one, sheriffscarry firearms. Corrections

officers do not. And they dealwith different sorts of people.

“It’s a different job. We dealwith those people straight offthe street that are still drugsick and come into the court-house. We deal with peoplewho just got sentenced to fed-eral time in a prison—peoplethat are not happy. Our useof force training is different,”said the sheriff. “It makes usfeel like what we do, anybodycan do, and that’s not thecase.”

Dean Purdy, a spokesper-son with the BCGEU, says themove doesn’t break the con-tract because both groups ofofficers belong to the sameunion. That doesn’t meanthe union is happy, however.They want to see more sher-iffs hired.

AChilliwack United Nations gangassociate who was convicted in thesame U.S. probe that netted gang

boss Clay Roueche has died of an appar-ent drug overdose.

Family and friends gathered at Chilli-wack’s Coast Hotel Saturday for a memo-rial service for Nick Kocoski, 25.

Chilliwack RCMP waited outside formuch of the afternoon service.

Sgt. Shinder Kirk, of the Gang TaskForce, said Sunday that police regularlymonitor services where gang associatesare expected to attend.

“Services for those who have beeninvolved in this lifestyle do tend to drawindividuals engaged in similar pursuits,”Kirk said.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz told the Chilli-wack Times she was glad there were noincidents, but added that those in atten-dance are not welcome in the city.

“Chilliwack RCMP and the IntegratedGang Task Force were aware of this eventand ensured it was monitored with apolice presence,” she said. “I’m pleased itwas a peaceful gathering but would alsolike to reiterate that gangs are not wel-come in the City of Chilliwack.”

Kocoski was arrested in Washingtonstate along with Joshua Hildebrandt onSept. 25, 2006 after “flying undeterminedcontraband into Tieton State Airport,near Rimrock,” U.S. court documentsstate.

The pair had rented a Canadian-regis-tered Piper Cherokee at Chilliwack anddid not file a flight plan to enter the U.S.

“Foliage obstructed law enforcement’sview of the off load at the airport,” thecourt documents state. “Hildebrandtand Kocoski were detained because theyfailed to report their arrival from Canada.Their GPS hand-held devices showed theflight originated in Chilliwack, B.C. withone stop at Hope Airport, B.C.”

U.S. authorities said the clandestineflight appeared to be headed for oneof several Montana airports and thatthe GPS indicated prior flights into thestates.

A few days later, Kocoski’s brotherAlexander and Roueche’s realtor MikeGordon travelled to the U.S., telling bor-der guards they were going to bail ourKocoski and his friend.

Nick Kocoski later pleaded guilty toentering the states illegally and Gordonwas later shot dead in Chilliwack in a2008 gangland hit.

Roueche was later arrested and con-victed for his role in running an inter-national cross-border drug ring thatused helicopters and planes to transportmarijuana and cocaine between the U.S.and Canada. Roueche was sentenced to30 years in December 2009, but won anappeal to have the sentencing reviewed.

His new sentencing hearing will takeplace in a Seattle courtroom Feb. 15.

Another B.C. man linked to Rouecheand among dozens implicated in thedrug smuggling operation has struck aplea agreement with U.S. officials.

Joseph Patrick Curry, 50, will appear ina Spokane courtroom Feb. 9 for a“changeof plea” hearing.

Curry was ordered extradited to theU.S. a year ago and gave up his appeal tosurrender to U.S. officials last October.

He ran into trouble in 2007 when hecrashed a plane in a Washington statefarmer’s field.

we’re just trying to get goodvalue for money.”

The city could save between$800,000 and $1.4 million peryear, stated a staff report.

The savings would primar-ily come from areas of gen-eral government, regionaldevelopment, and solid wastemanagement.

T h e F V R D a u t h o r i t yincludes the municipalitiesof Abbotsford, Mission, Chilli-wack, Hope, Kent and Har-rison.

The district also encom-passes seven electoral areasthat include rural territoriesthat stretch to the border ofthe Thompson Nicola regionin the north; the Okanagan inthe east; west to Squamish/Lillooet; and south to MetroVancouver.

The regional district pro-vides localized governmen-tal services such as water,sewer, garbage collection andfire services to isolated ruralareas.

“It makes sense,” said Peary.“We have a lot in commonwith Mission and little incommon with Chilliwack andareas east of Chilliwack.”

If Abbotsford withdrew

from the district, it wouldpartner with other munici-palities, or even the FVRDitself on a contractual basis,to meet other regional neces-sities.

“I think there’s the beliefwith some of us that we’reover-governed,” said Peary.

“When you look at what weinvest and what we get out ofit . . . we can do for ourselveswhat the regional district doesin most instances.”

In fact, the city may evenhave resources superior tothose of the district, saidPeary.

“The FVRD employs oneengineer. The city employs18.”

Peary thinks the prov-ince can be convinced tolet Abbotsford get out of theregional district.

“Ult imately, we have[MLAs] in the legislature. Ifthe government said ‘we’renot going to allow city taxpay-ers the benefits’. . . it wouldvery much become a provin-cial election issue.”

The taxpayers of Abbots-ford aren’t like to resist theidea either, said Peary.

Raw milk farmer Alice Jongerden onThursday applied to the Supreme Courtof B.C. to set aside a 2010 court order

that prohibits her from producing and packa-ging unpasteurized dairy products.

The court ruled last March 18 thatraw milk is a health hazard, uphol-ding an injunction sought by the Fra-ser Health authority to shut down theHome on the Range dairy in Chilli-wack. Jongerden ran the dairy as acow-share in which 400 membersowned shares in the farm’s 22 cowsand were entitled to the milk and otherfoods produced by their animals.

“[Alice] Jongerden says that the prohibitionagainst fresh [raw] milk in the province of Bri-tish Columbia infringes the right to nutritionalchoice and her long-term health choice pro-tected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms,”said Jongerden’s lawyer Jason Gratl.

The right to nutritional choice is implied by

the right to life, liberty and security of person,Gratl said.

“The creation of fresh milk in this provin-ce carries a maximum penalty of 36 monthsin prison and a $3 million fine,” Gratl said.Jongerden’s application claims the penaltiesoffend the principles of justice.

Fraser Health issued a cease-and-desistorder last spring to farmer Alice Jon-gerden and her Home on the Rangedairy for violating the Public HealthAct, which forbids the distributi-on of unpasteurized milk and dairyproducts. They backed that orderby securing a court order prohibi-ting Jongerden from producing milkfor human consumption and finallycharged Jongerden with contempt of

court for continuing to operate the dairy.Jongerden resigned as the agister (livestock

manager) of the dairy to avoid being convictedof contempt of court. Ontario raw milk farmerMichael Schmidt has taken over the operationof the dairy, which now packages its productsas cosmetics for the shareholders.

Vandals cost city taxpayers nearly$200,000 in 2010, up almost 50 percent from the previous year, according

to a year-end report.The theft of wire from streetlights hit the

city pocketbook hardest, with $78,327 spentrepairing the damage done by such thieves.

Damage to public buildings and othercity infrastructure cost taxpayers just under$60,000, while vandalism at parks and recre-ation facilities cost $38,321.

The total cost from vandals, $192,932, was45 per cent higher than in 2009, when the cityspent $132,541 to repair vandalism damage.

The City of Chilliwack had already spentthat much by July of 2010, most due to wiretheft. Fortunately, after wire theft cost thecity more than $34,000 in June and July, thewire thieves pretty much disappeared. In thefinal five months of the year, wire theft costthe city just under $7,000.

The costs from vandalism to public worksinfrastructure consisted primarily of repai-ring and replacing street signs and postsaround town. In December alone, the cityspent at least $6,375 to repair and replacesigns and post due to vandalism. (If city wor-kers aren’t sure whether damage is the resultof vandalism or accident, the cost isn’t inclu-ded in the city report).

Vandalism at parks and recreation facili-ties was varied, from $60 spent on a brokenmirror at Twin Rinks in October to $3,200spent to replace a skylight at the Cheam Lei-sure Centre in November.

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

The Honourable Steven Point gets a kick out of Chilliwack Kiwanis president Larry Farley’s cleverquips at the Lt. Governor’s induction as an honorary Kiwanian last week.

“The employer should have managed theirrequirements in anticipation of the currentstaffing shortage crisis,” Purdy said. “Nothingwas done until we reached the critical pointthat we’re at now.”

Attorney General Barry Penner—who isalso the MLA for Chilliwack-Hope—said twodozen new sheriff recruits will start training inFebruary. But with the trials expected to startthis week, he said a cost-effective solution wasneeded. “We feel this is making the best useof taxpayers’ dollars,” he told the Times. “It’s

unusual that we have three major murder tri-als with multiple accused all going on at thesame time. The option that seems to make themost sense is to have corrections officers on ashort-term basis look after the jails in provin-cial courthouses so that the sheriffs who aretrained at providing security in courtroomscan leave the jails in the basements of thesecourthouses and go up to these courtroomswhere we need them to provide an extra levelof security for these multiple murder trials.”

Estimated Annual Heating Costs (Savings) for a typical 2,500 sq. ft. house. InVancouver, a 2,500 sq. ft. house with a gas furnace and a COP of 0.85 would spendapproximately $1,378 in heating bills in one year. If this same house were equippedwith a standard electric heater, one year of heating could cost you an enormous$2,967. Zuba-Central, on the other hand, would only cost about $904. Even thoughZuba-Central also uses electricity, it is staggering how much more efficient itactually is. This means you would save $474, or 34%, a year on energy costs over agas furnace, and $2,063, or 70%, over electric heaters. That’s a potential savings ofalmost $20,000 in your pocket over 10 years.

Iwas recently reminded of themost cowardly spectacle I’d everwitnessed. It was back in the

seventh grade when two boys hadagreed to an after school fight. Ran-dy and Dave were going to haveit out. Randy was a bit bigger anda lot meaner. Most of us thoughtDave was in over his head.Wecouldn’t have been more correct.

It was a slaughter. Randy got intoa lot of fights and clearly enjoyedthem. He laid a beating on Davethat was far beyond the typicalgrade school fisticuffs. Dave wasa mess and never touched Randy.Somehow, Dave’s father was alertedabout the fight and showed up justas Randy was using Dave’s face as aspeed bag. His father pulled Randyoff and grabbed him so his armswere being held behind his back.

This was Dave’s one and onlychance to get a shot in. He woundup with a haymaker and crackedhis fist against the side of Randy’shead while he was defenceless.Regardless of who each of us werecheering for, we were quite unani-mous that it was a gutless and cow-ardly thing to do.

I retrieved this memory a coupleweeks ago when I first saw the sick-ening footage of a Kelowna policeofficer apparently kicking a suspectin the face as he was seeminglyco-operatively kneeling on theground. The suspect, Buddy Tava-res, was completely defencelessand had no opportunity to protecthimself. He was totally vulnerableand took a kick that resembledsomething you’d normally see in

the Super Bowl.The video has since gone viral

and has sent shock waves acrossthe country and once again calledinto question the level of profes-sionalism and integrity of contem-porary law enforcement.

The officer has been suspendedand, following an investigationby the Abbotsford Police, is nowfacing a charge of assault causingbodily harm. Regardless, it wasthe cheapest shot I’ve seen sinceDave’s display of cowardice. Theonly difference is that Dave was 13-years old at the time.

It seems that everybody has acellphone with video capacitythese days and allegations of policebrutality are being uploaded forthe entire world to see. And despitethe need to recognize that a 15 sec-ond video clip may not be a com-plete record of what transpired,it’s difficult not to feel outrage athow some police are conductingthemselves.

One would think that ever sincethe famed Rodney King footage,police would be smart enough toassume their every move is beingrecorded. But it appears far toomany loose cannons and cowboys(and cowgirls) are slipping through

the screening process.I’m convinced therein lies the

problem. As I’ve written before,police agencies are not being inun-dated with the number of superblyqualified candidates they oncewere. In many cases they’re hav-ing to select applicants that neverwould have made it through theprocess a decade or three ago.

When I started teaching criminaljustice I had one particular studentwho looked like she was goingplaces. She was involved with aride along program with the oldMatsqui Police, looking toward acareer in law enforcement. A localreporter interviewed her for astory about the program. She wasasked what most attracted her toa policing career. I’ll never forgether answer, “It’s the ultimate powertrip.You get to decide who livesand who dies.”

The reporter quoted her verba-tim in the paper and her careeraspirations were over. After thatdisplay of idiocy, no law enforce-ment agency would ever let heron the grounds, let alone considerhiring her. She was finished—andthank God for that.

I wonder if in today’s climate,such a comment would be thecareer killer it was in 1989.

I’m not convinced it would.◗ John Martin is a criminologist atthe University of the [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> . This commentaryis the author’s personal opinionand is not the opinion or policy ofhis employer.

Happy, butnot feelingconnectedLife is good if you live in Chilliwack,

even if times are tough.That’s according to Chilliwack’s Qual-

ity of Life Survey, which can be found in aspecial section in today’s newspaper.

So aside from the fact that most of usfeel that we’re more happy than the aver-age person, what can we take away fromthe survey’s results?

A lot, it turns out.First, the city deserves a pat on the back

for providing plenty of recreation optionsfor local residents. When 19 out of 20respondents say the city offers, or “mostlyoffers,” all the facilities they need, the citydeserves a heap of credit.

Those who took the survey were alsovery healthy, which is particularly interest-ing given that older residents were over-represented in the survey. While the publicnature of our health care system opens itup to attack, it’s still providing solid carefor old and young alike.

As far as providing a sense of commu-nity, though, Chilliwack is lagging.

Only a third of respondents said theyfelt a strong sense of community, downeight per cent from 2009. And while two-thirds of people said that Chilliwack had asense of community, it’s unfortunate thatone third of respondents feel isolated andwithout a community.

We can point fingers at certain govern-ments that have recently cut vital com-munity-building programs, but we shouldalso take a look at ourselves.

A sense of community can come frombelonging to a local club, but it also comesfrom more personal interactions withneighbours, with folks at the store, or withstrangers on the street.

Chilliwack isn’t a dangerous place. Whilemost people think crime is rising, it isn’t.And what crime does take place is mostlypetty thefts and property crime, not vio-lent attacks on city streets.

So next time you’re walking down theroad and pass a stranger walking theirdog, say “Hi,” or at least lend a friendlysmile. Those daily interactions may oneday grow into a conversation, an invita-tion, or a block party. Or they may not.

But those small gestures are the onesthat form the basis of strong supportivecommunities. So lighten up, it’s only life.

Editor:As the Christmas Season

has come and gone and weare well on our way intothe new year, many of ourthoughts have returned towork and family. I am writ-ing this letter to express mysincerest thanks to some ofthe people who made thispast holiday season a littlebrighter for many of myclients.

I am the co-ordinator ofthe HIV / AIDS PreventionProgram which is oper-ated through PCRS inChilliwack. This past year, Ihad some truly wonderfulcitizens of Chilliwack comeforth to provide support,warm clothing, bedding,bags of goodies and most ofall show a sincere compas-sion to the people we all tooften forget to include inour thoughts and prayers.

For many of these won-derful souls it was not justat Christmas that they cameout to help, rather it wasand is a year-round dedica-tion. To Heartland Fellow-ship Pastor Mike V. whogave me the opportunity tospeak on “Dangerous Lives”and for bringing awarnessto his membership on thevery real, very raw crisisin Chilliwack, to Betty H.for organizing the fellow-ship volunteers who cameout at night in cold anddreary weather and handedout sandwiches and kindwords. And of course to our“hot chocolate” ladies —Louise, Patty and Dorothywho come out each week tolend their support.

Through some privatelysponsored events, I had theopportunity to speak on thesubject of the exploitationof our youth, harm reduc-tion and the subsequenttragedy which ensues oncea person has been caught inthe grips of addiction andsexual exploitation. Fromthese public informationalsessions I was fortunate tomeet many amazing peoplewho really and truly wantedto help to make a differ-ence.

One such person isLorna L. who is a member

of Chilliwack EvangelicalMissionary Church. Thankyou to their “Heart toHeart” group, which madeup bags of necessities formy clients who very oftendo not have simple thingssuch as a bar of soap forthemselves. Thanks Lornafor organizing the groupand getting things moving,and to Pastor Glenn D. forputting out the news let-ter to his membership andsubsequently getting somany wonderful people onboard.

And last, but certainlynot least, to the students atAD Rundle school who didyet another wonerful job ofmaking unique and specialgifts for my clients.

It is always amazing to seethe transformation in peo-ples faces when they receivesomething with no stringsattached, something provid-ed to keep them warm andsafe, to let them know thatthey are not forgotten.

Thanks to each of you,you truly did make a differ-ence.

Re: Choosing to Smile -fundraising update.

You may recall that therewas a head shaving eventheld at Undine’s Hair Studioon Young Road on Dec. 30which was organized bymembers of the ChilliwackValley Women’s Network(VWN) group. We justwanted to let your readersknow how the fundraisingis going to help make JulieHoulker’s bucket wish cometrue: To live long enough tosee her book Choosing toSmile become a best seller.

The VWN group has part-nered with the New PageHuman Services Society(NPHSS) and they haveraised more than $5,000so far and donations are

continuing to come in. Asa direct result of the head-shaving event, and gener-ous donations made afterreading the wonderful newsstories about Julie’s bucketwish, the New Page HumanServices Society just pur-chased 205 copies of Choos-ing to Smile to donate tocancer patients currently intreatment at the Abbotsfordand Surrey Cancer Centres.

We would like to letyour readers know that ifindividuals or businesseswant to make a charitabledonation and receive a taxreceipt they can mail theircheques payable to the NewPage Human Services Soci-ety - Box 998, Hope, V0X1L0. Please designate dona-tions for the ‘Choosing toSmile Book Fund’—the NewPage Society is a non-profitorganization that promotesliteracy.

Fundraising and accept-ing donations to providecopies of Choosing to Smileto give to cancer patientswill be an ongoing project.If you would like to let yourreaders know that they canalso make a donation tothe Choosing to Smile BookFund by visiting any branchof the Envision CreditUnion and make a depositto account #1455864. Dona-tions made there won’t beissued tax receipts—onlydonations made throughNew Page Human ServicesSociety will receive a taxreceipt.

Although sales of Choos-ing to Smile are goingextremely well (more than2,000 copies sold to date)Julie didn’t live long enoughto scratch it off her bucketlist. Julie passed away atCascade Hospice Centre onFriday, Jan. 21 at 7:20 a.m.surrounded by her family.

However, it made hervery happy to see the com-munity rally to support herdream. Julie had been inthe Cascade Hospice Centrefor nearly two months. Shewas at peace and filled withgrace which helped all ofthose who loved her cometo terms with her illness.

We would like to thank

the community for theircontinued support of thiswonderful project whichis helping cancer patientscurrently in treatment tounderstand the cancer jour-ney a little better and at thesame time helping to makea dream come true evenif Julie is not here to see ithappen.

7 p.m.


The Chilliwack Bruins’ consistently incon-sistent season continues.

After taking three of four points from gamesagainst two division rivals—the KamloopsBlazers and Prince George Cougars—Fridayand Saturday, the Bruins were crushed 7-3by theVancouver Giants Sunday night at thePacific Coliseum.

Both teams were playing their third game inas many nights Sunday, but the Giants arrivedto play at 5 p.m. while the Bruins only showedup for the third period.

Less than five minutes into the game AndrejStastny, a towering new addition to the Giants’forward corps, opened the scoring and thefloodgates.

By the time the buzzer sounded on the firstperiod, the Giants had outshot the Bruins21-1 and put three goals on the board. Thelatter twoVancouver tallies were nearly identi-cal, with a Giant pulling the puck around animmobile Bruin player—Ryan Howse on thefirst, Brandon Manning on the second—thensliding it past the outstretched pad of a proneLucas Gore.

That single Bruins shot, meanwhile, didn’tfind the net.

After 40 minutes the score was 6-0, withStastny adding his second and Brendan Gal-lagher scoring a pair forVancouver in themiddle frame.

And after 42 minutes, the Bruins were downby seven.

Chilliwack didn’t make it close in the third

period, but goals by Steven Hodges, RomanHorak and Robin Soudek at least made thescore a little less ugly for the locals.

Ryan Howse didn’t find the net, putting anend to his seven-game goal streak.

The story was markedly different for MarcHabscheid’s team Friday and Saturday. In bothcases, a trailing Bruins squad scored in thethird period to send each game to overtime.

On Saturday, the Bruins matched the PrinceGeorge Cougars goal for goal, with Howse,Mitch Topping and Robin Soudek all scoring

for the home side in front of an announcedProspera Centre crowd of 4,123.

Soudek’s third-period goal sent the gameto overtime, then a shootout, where PrinceGeorge claimed the extra point with a goalfrom Nick Buonassisi.

A day earlier, Chilliwack seized a vital bonuspoint from the Kamloops Blazers thanks toBrandon Manning’s goal just 21 seconds intoovertime.

Howse and Curt Gogol—who tied the gamewith less than four minutes left—had the

other markers for Chilliwack.With Manning’s power play goal Friday in

overtime, the Bruins struggling man advan-tage finally got back on track.

The power play went four-for-14 with theiropponents in the sin bin over the weekend,although they did surrender a shorthandedmarker to the Giants on Sunday.

The weekend’s three points allowed theBruins to claim seventh spot in the very tightWestern Conference, although they havegames in hand on all but oneWestern team.


Just 30 seconds into Saturday’s game against Prince George and Bruin T.C. Cratsenberg danced with Cougar Jaroslav Vlach at centre ice.

The Chilliwack Lunachicks topped SBBAfrom Surrey 4-1 Friday at Townsend Park.

Not having played since Dec. 12, theLunachicks showed signs of rust. Surreystruck first scoring in the opening threeminutes and it was until the final threeminutes of the half that Sandy Champ tiedthe game picking up a rebound from a shotfrom Janelle Cavanaugh.

The play proved costly as Cavanaugh was

injured on the play and had to leave thegame forcing Chilliwack to play the remain-der with only 10 players. Still, that appearedto spark the Lunachicks as they roared outin the second half scoring three goals in thefirst 17 minutes.

Andrea Feaver scored twice and KellyJoiner added a single with Cara Brendzy assi-sting on two of the goals. Final score Chilli-wack 4, SBBA 1.

Tax Steps in an EstateTax Steps in an EstateCanada Revenue Agency (CRA)does not, as a rule, send outcondolence cards. Instead, theysit back and wait for the executoror administrator (both known as apersonal respresentative, to wrapup the deceased’s taxes. Thereis no excusing the dead for theirunpaid taxes. Someone has to stepin, prepare the tax returns and payCRA.

The first is the date of deathreturn, a tax return which sets outincome in the calendar year ofdeath, from January 1 to the dateof death, which the law sometimesrefers to as the terminal year or“year of death”.

The personal respresentativeneeds to check to see if there areany outstanding returns fromprevious years. Not all taxpayers,particularly seniors, are up-to-datewith their tax returns. Armedwith a probate or administrationorder from the Court, CRAwill be pleased to report on anyoutstanding tax returns due fromthe deceased, as well as take theconsiderable interest owing onany amounts due. To minimizeexposure to personal liability, fromCRA and towards beneficiaries

who would expect the personalrepresentative to diligentlyascertain the deceased’s tax status,act promptly in this regard.

In Death of a Taxpayer, theauthors note that:

“For income tax purposes, thedeath of a taxpayer not onlyterminates the deceased’s finaltaxation year, but also marks theopening of the first taxation yearof the estate.”

Generally, give that theadministration of an estate cantake some time, known as theexecutor’s year, the deceasedcontinues as a financial beingfor a bit, almost as a ghost, theformal legal term of which is atestamentary trust. While thatghost exists, CRA is right behindit asking for taxes on any income.This, they demand by requiringthe preparation of tax returns forperiods of time post-death whereincome accrued. This goes on foras long as it takes to wind up theestate.

One issue is the legal fiction of aphantom or deemed disposition toset up a capital gain, explained thisway in The Executor’s Handbook:

“The Income Tax Act deems ataxpayer to have disposed (sold)of his or her assets immediatelybefore death, at fair market value.As a result, if the property hasincreased in value since it wasacquired (by the deceased), thisincrease may be subject to tax inthe terminal year.”

Indeed, CRA takes thetestamentary trust as if it werea separate individual tax payer,albeit with a unique tax returnform. Each year, a trust return isrequired and taxes paid on anytaxable income.

Testamentary trusts often ariseas of death as the will reveals, forexample, that the executor musthold in trust any gift or benefitaccruing to a minor subjectto distribution to that childwhen he/she reaches the age ofmajority.

When the executor has finishedhis/her job and assets have beendistributed and debts paid, it istime to exorcise the ghost andfile a final return, also known as aterminal return.

Tax lawyers or accountant mayadvise to elect to file other returns

as well in an effort to avoidtaxation. The final return coversincome in the terminal year.

When all the tax steps have beencompleted, you do not haveto hold your breath and keepyourself personally exposed toliability towards CRA forever.CRA does have a mechanism toshut down your liability once andfor all. In their 2007 publication,Preparing Tax Returns forDeceased Persons, CRA couchesin friendly language a veryominous liability:

“As the legal representative,you may want to get a clearancecertificate before you distributeany property under your control.A clearance certificate certifiesthat all amounts for which thedeceased is liable to us have beenpaid, or that we have acceptedsecurity for the payment. If youdo not get a certificate, you can beliable for any amount the deceasedowes. A certificate covers all taxyears to the date of death. It is nota clearance for any amounts a trustowes. If there is a trust, a separateclearance certificate is needed forthe trust.”

Why do aQuality of Life survey?In November, 2009, the ChilliwackSocial Research and Planning Councilconducted its second survey ofChilliwack householders, followingup on one done in 2004.

The Chilliwack Social Planning andResearch Council is a partnershipbetween the University of theFraser Valley, the City of Chilliwack,Chilliwack Community Services, theFraser Health Authority, the United Wayand B.C. Ministry of Children & FamilyDevelopment. Several members fromthe community at large also sit on thecouncil.

The council was founded as a sort of“think tank” for community issues, sothat partner agencies could supportresearch and other activities that tell usmore about our community. Knowingwhat the population feels about variousissues and situations helps our memberagencies and other community orga-nizations with decision making andcommunity planning.

The first Quality of Life survey wascompleted in 2004, and provided asnapshot of the community at thattime. Five years later, we were ableto ask similar questions of the com-munity and measure how people’sfeelings about issues of importance toChilliwack and their quality of life hadchanged.

The 2009 Quality of Life report wasprepared by Dr. Katherine Watson, aUniversity of the Fraser Valley sociol-ogy professor, and Naida Motut, aUFV sociology graduate, and presentedto Chilliwack City Council in the fall of2010.

Whom did we survey?We sent surveys via mail to a

random sample of 2,500Chilliwack households.

We received 670completed

surveys

back. Only people over the age of 18were invited to complete the survey,and the survey population did not in-clude aboriginal reserves or institution-al populations (such as nursing homes,group homes, and prisons). Given the2008 population of Chilliwack (80,892),the accuracy of our sample is plus orminus 3.7%, 19 times out of 20.

Who completed thesurvey?As was the case in 2004, the seniorpopulation was over-represented inthe surveys that were returned. It canbe surmised that older people havemore time and inclination to completeand return a survey than youngerpeople, who may be busier with workand family.

The median age of survey respon-dents was 60. In comparison, themedian age of Chilliwack citizens in2006, according to Statistics Canadacensus data, was 40. In some cases foranalysis of this survey, we ‘weighted’the age data, breaking it down to 18 to50 year olds (56% of the survey respon-dent population) and 51 and over (43%of the population).

The gender breakdown of respon-dents was 53% female and 47% male.

Most were part of a live-in couple,either married (63%) or living with apartner (6%). Of the rest, 13% werewidowed, 5% single, and 4% separated.

Almost two-thirds (66%) reported nochildren currently living with them. Ofthe remainder, 14% had two childrenliving with them, 13% had one child athome, and 7% reported three or morechildren in their household.

English was the first language of theoverwhelming majority of respondents(88%), followed by German (5%), Dutch(3%), and Other (3%).

Only 13% of the respondents wereborn in Chilliwack. A total of 43% wereborn in another province or part ofCanada, 28% were born in BC, and 17%were born in another country.

Secondary school graduation wasthe highest level of education

for 31% of the respon-dents. A further 28%

had a tradesdiploma

or

certificate, 16% had a col-lege diploma or certifi-cate, 14% had completed abachelor’s degree, 6% hada master’s degree, and 3%reported only completingelementary school.

Overall surveyfindingsRoughly 75% of respondentsreported that they weresatisfied with their overalllevel of health (the same asin 2004).

81% said they were some-what or verysatisfied withChilliwack as aplace to live (up11% over 2004).

People weremore satisfiedthan they werein 2004 with re-cycling facilities(up 18%), waterquality (up 12%)and arts andculture in Chilli-wack (up 11%).

People seemedquite satisfiedwith their livesin Chilliwack,with their cur-rent residence (92%), their spouse orpartner (89%), their neighbourhoods(86%), their friendships (86%), theirlife’s accomplishments (84%), and theirfamily relations (83%).

They are not satisfied with traffic,public transit, and other variables thatthey have less influence on.

In 2004, 65% agreed that Chilliwackwas more of a rural community thanan urban community. By 2009, thisnumber had dropped to 51%, perhaps areflection of increasing urban develop-ment.

In 2004, 45% of respondents felt

unsafe walking alone at night in theirneighbourhood. In 2009, that numberhad decreased to 39%. This declin-ing fear does not match the actualdecrease in the crime rate.

Volunteering has declined amongsurvey respondents, as compared to

2004, when 58% reported doing anhour or more of volunteering per week.The number in 2009 was 48%.

Most people in Chilliwack are happywith their recreational facilities. Thismay be a reflection of the growth ofcommunity facilities over the pastdecade, including the Chilliwack Land-ing Leisure Centre (2002), the Pros-pera Centre (2004), and the renovatedCheam Centre and new Chilliwack Cul-tural Centre (both of which were underconstruction in 2009 when the surveywas conducted).

Housing affordability was the mostfrequent reason why they had movedto their current location cited by re-spondents; however, growing dissatis-faction with the actual purchase priceof housing was noted.

Having a university in town doesn’tseem like much of a factor for hous-ing decisions: only 3% cited this as aninfluence.

Things didn’t necessarily go smoothlyfor some Chilliwack residents inthe period between the two Qualityof Life surveys. In the fall of 2008,a worldwide recession hit, and itsimpact was felt in Chilliwack, wheremany jobs depend on a healthyeconomy and strong housing andconstruction market.

The impact of the recession wasn’tnecessarily felt by those who tookthe time to fill out the survey in 2009,however. While 54% agreed thatChilliwack’s economy had worsenedin the 12 months prior to the survey(which aligns with one year since therecession hit), 57% said they wereliving comfortably, compared to 54%in 2004. And half thought that theeconomy would improve over thenext year (which turned out to besomewhat accurate). Slightly morethan half (56%) felt that the City ofChilliwack was placing the right

amount of emphasis on attractingnew business.

64% of those with an income of$150,000 or more reported livingvery comfortably, but interestingly sodid 17% of those with an income of$10,000 or less, which indicates thatone’s sense of comfort is somewhatrelative.

For those who reported experienc-ing financial difficulties (18% of thetotal), more of these respondents fellinto lower income categories. Forexample, over half of those earn-ing under $10,000 per year said theywere having financial difficulties, asdid 34% of those earning between$10,000 and $29,000.

Despite the tough economic times,81% or respondents reported be-ing somewhat or very satisfied withChilliwack as a place to live - an 11%increase over the 2004 survey results,

despite the fact that over half felt thatChilliwack’s economy had recentlyworsened. This may be a reflection ofresilience, or adapting one’s expecta-tions to suit the present situation, ac-cording to the Quality of Life surveyauthors. Sociological research shows

working people respond in one oftwo ways to economic stress. Theyeither become rebellious, or theyretreat, becoming preoccupied withsurvival and adjusting their aspira-tions to suit the economic reality.

Quality of Life Survey

Health by age groups

CRIMECrime is a social problem that often concerns people, and research often findsthat perceptions of crime are worse than the actual crime rate. Provincialpolicing statistics show that the crime rate in Chilliwack, although still higherthan the BC average, dropped from 183 per thousand in 2003, to 143 per thou-sand in 2007.

Perceptions of crime rates among Quality of Live survey respondents alsodropped between 2004 and 2009. In the first survey, 40 percent thought thatneighbourhood crime rates had stayed about the same for the previous 12months. In 2009, 48% felt this way. Similarly, in 2004, 52 percent thoughtneighbourhood crime rates had increased in the past year, and in 2009, thannumber decreased to 44percent.

Once out of theirimmediate neighbour-hood, people are alittle less confidentabout security. In 2004,around 79 percentthought crime in allof Chilliwack hadincreased in the pastyear. By 2009, thatnumber had decreasedto around 72 percent.

One of the keyindicators of a senseof personal safety is

how they feel aboutwalking in their neighbourhood at night. The two communities where

people felt the most safe were Promontory and Sardis, both ofwhich are characterized by newer neighbourhoods, well-lit

streets, sidewalks, and relative population density. Ofthose who felt completely unsafe, two thirds lived

in Chilliwack Proper or downtown Chilliwack,and 17 percent lived in Sardis. As might

be expected, men feel safer walk-ing at night than women, and

younger people generallyfeel safer than the

elderly.

If you had asked the majority of theQuality of Life survey respondentshow they were feeling this morning,most would have responded, “justfine, thank you.”

In the survey, 82% reported thattheir health was good, very good,or excellent, compared to 18% whosaid that it was fair or poor.

All age groups were representedin each category. Three-quarters ofrespondents reported ‘satisfactionwith my overall health’ both in 2004and 2009. And 70% said their healthwas the same as it was the yearprevious (compared to 66% in 2004).

Life would be less stressful if wedidn’t have to worry about money,working, or our children, accordingto the survey. Finances (36%), their

job (24%), and their children (13%)were the main sources of stressreported by respondents. Almost athird (31%) reported work-relatedstress as being extremely stressful(8%) or quite a bit stressful (23%).

Despite physician shortages na-tionwide, the overwhelming ma-jority of survey respondents (96%)reported having a family physician.The majority also had dental insur-ance (65%) and extended medicalinsurance (67%).

And most of respondents had asupport network in Chilliwack, with82% saying there was someone inChilliwack who cared about theirwellbeing, 14% being neutral on thisquestion, and 4% disagreeing withthis statement.

Feeling safe walking alone at night.

How happy is your life.

VOLUNTEERING DECLINES

More than half of Chilliwack’s Quality of Life respondents (58%)did one or less hour of volunteer time per week in 2009. Volunteeringhas declined, as the percentage of ‘non-volunteers’ was 48 percent in2004.

The main reasons that people cited for volunteering were:

* To help a cause they personally believe in(35%, down from 47% in 2004)

* To improve their community(28%, down from 35% in 2004)

* To share skills and knowledge with others(23%, down from 28% in 2004)

* To use their skills and experience(22%, down from 28% in 2004)

Most people who did make time to give back to their communityvolunteered between one and ten hours per week (36%, down from 40%in 2004). The most typical type of volunteer was someone between theages of 26 and 50 who volunteered for one to 10 hours per week (32%of people in this age category did so). In the 51-65 age category, 29%volunteered for this amount of time, as did 25% of those aged 66-75.

Maybe it’s a human trait that we’remost easily satisfied with the thingsthat we have some control over:where we live, who we live withand love, who our friends are, theneighbourhood and community wechoose, and our social life.

All of these elements of daily lifescored high in satisfaction ratings inthe 2009 Quality of Life survey.

So did leisure/recreation facilities,and parks and playgrounds, both ofwith recorded jumps in satisfactionlevels since the 2004 survey, reflect-ing continuing community improve-ments in these areas. Water qualityrecorded a big spike in satisfaction,from 80% to 92%. Perhaps peoplewere recalling the awards that Chilli-wack water has won. And recyclingfacilities leapt from a 62% approvalrating to 80%, up 18% in five years.

Eighty-four percent of peoplewere satisfied with what they haveaccomplished in life so far, up sevenpercent since 2004. And 81% remainsatisfied with the physical beauty ofChilliwack (those mountains don’tchange much in half a decade).

More than three quarters of respon-dents thought they had a better thanaverage life. A huge majority (92%)of those were very satisfied with theirability to balance leisure time withresponsibilities also reported havinga better than average life, but eventhough 71% reported always feelingrushed, they still reported having abetter than average life.

Areas that scored in the mediumrange for satisfaction included reli-gious or spiritual fulfillment (up 13%since 2004 to a 69% rating this time),current salary (also up, from 58% to67%), sense of personal safety (up 8%to 61%), and arts and culture (up 11%to 60%). Satisfaction with the pur-chase price of local housing declinednine percent, from 63% in 2004 to54% in 2009. And about half of therespondents (53%) were satisfied withthe diversity of local housing.

Even in potentially problematiccategories, there was perceived im-provement in a number of the areas,including air quality (up 11% to a 34%satisfaction rating), and relationsamong aboriginals and non-aborigi-nals in Chilliwack (up 9% to a 36%satisfaction rating).

As with housing purchase prices,satisfaction went down for rentalhousing costs, a six percent declineto 30 percent. And people weren’toverwhelmed with joy about child-care services (a 36% rating, downfive percent since 2004) and youthservices (35%).

There are two elements that rankedso low in satisfaction ratings thatthey fit in the clearly problematiccategory: traffic flow, which has a29% satisfaction rating, up 5% since2004, and public transit services,which declined 7% since 2004, to a23% satisfaction rating.

We may not be happy with ourability to balance leisure time withresponsibilities, but we are satis-fied. This, according to a key changein the way the question was posedbetween the 2004 and 2009 surveys.When asked if they were happy withtheir leisure/responsibility balancein 2004, only 13% said yes. Whenasked if they were satisfied in 2009,60% agreed that they were.

We are a busy bunch, even ina sample where respondents areolder than the general population.Seventy-two percent reported feel-ing rushed (20% always, 52% oc-casionally). Almost two-thirds (66%)said they had the same amount ofleisure time that they had a yearago.

When people do have time forleisure activities, informal onesare the most popular. Almost 40percent cited meeting with othersfor meals or drinks as somethingthey’d done in the last six months,as compared to 25% for watching

or attending sports at local venues,19% for attending movies, gamingcentres, or going on vacation, andjust 2% for cultural events such asconcerts, plays, or museum visits.

“Passive” recreational facilitieswere the most popular type, with37% saying they’d used walking orbiking trails five or more times inthe past month, compared to 30%for indoor sports facilities, 19% forsports fields/parks, 13% for golf,and 8% for indoor cultural facilities.

Venues for leisure activities, bothin the form of built facilities suchas the pool, ice arena, sports fields,and the cultural centre, and in theform of parks and nature trails,have improved vastly over the pastdecade, and that is reflected inapproval ratings.

Almost all respondents (94%) saidthat Chilliwack either does offeror mostly offers the recreationalfacilities they require.

SENSE OF COMMUNITYThe analysis of responses to these questions and other similar ones was usedto generate a ‘sense of community’ index in both 2004 and 2009. The majority(almost 66%) had a moderate sense of community. The moderate category hasgrown from 56% in 2004. Those with a strong sense of community declinedfrom 42% in 2004 to 34% in 2009.

Interestingly, there was a decrease in the number of people who reported at-tending a place of worship on a regular basis, down to 32% in 2009 from 37%in 2004. Only 14% reported feeling like they were part of a cultural community.And 60% felt like they had something to contribute to their community.

Quality ofLife Survey

As is often the case, the informa-tion gleaned from the social researchinvolved in the Quality of Life surveypoints the way to more potential re-search projects.

Having now completed two Qual-ity of Life surveys five years apart, theChilliwack Social Research and Plan-ning Council is helping to build a base-line body of data about how Chilliwackresidents feel about a variety of issues

and how those feelings change overtime. The survey is also compil-

ing hard data about ages,income levels, and

other demo-graphics

of

Chilliwack residents, at least amongthe survey respondents.

It would be valuable to continue thisresearch to build comparative dataover an extended period of time, and tofind ways to include more respondents,particularly younger ones, in the nextround of surveying (perhaps by includ-ing the use of web-based surveying).

More people were somewhat or verysatisfied with Chilliwack as a place tolive in 2009 as compared to 2004, de-spite the recession and a tough econ-omy. Is this a case of what sociologistscall “adaptive expectations,” in whichpeople adjust their aspirations duringtough economic times? And are theycompletely resilient, or do they harboursome bitterness about this enforced

adjustment? Further research isalso warranted in this area.

Perhaps, withincreases in

population, housing, density and thenumber of big box stores, fewer peopleare reporting that they feel Chilliwackis more of a rural community than anurban community. But as much of theland is in the agricultural land reserveand many people value the countrylifestyle, Chilliwack’s rural roots are farfrom being eradicated. This makes thecommunity of Chilliwack a fascinatingpotential case study in how farmersand commuters and the values theybring with them interact and get along.

Much of Chilliwack’s growth overthe past two decades can be attributedto young families and empty nesterstaking advantage of the affordablehousing prices in a community that isfar removed from the urban core. Butthere is a growing dissatisfaction withhousing prices reported in the 2009survey results. Urban planners needto be aware of this juxtaposition, andplan for the spinoffs from it.

People fear crime in Chilliwack,although the crime rate has decreased.Criminologists could make an inter-esting study of why the rate of fear out-strips actual crime statistics.

Although the majority of people weregenerally satisfied with their life inChilliwack, problem spots remain thatneed addressing. These include trafficflow, public transit, affordable hous-ing, relations between aboriginals andnon-aboriginals, youth services, andair quality.

The 2009 sense of community in-dex created from the survey resultsshows that a strong sense of commu-nity is declining, as is volunteerism.With many activities and agencies inChilliwack depending on communitysupport and volunteers, it would beworthwhile to examine the reasonsbehind the decline and ways to foster agreater sense of community.

It’s been said that you’re never morethan 10 minutes from a Starbucksor five minutes from a farm field inChilliwack. Drive north or south ofthe Cottonwood Mall, and you’ll hitfarmland pretty quickly. You mayeven end up driving behind a ma-nure spray truck. Go searching fora latte, and you won’t have to gofar, especially if you’ll settle for TimHortons over Starbucks, but the greenawnings of coffee urbanization aresprouting all over town too.

Chilliwack residents are noticingthis rural to urban transition. Maybeit’s the award-winning redevelop-ment of the former army base into theGarrison Crossing neighbourhood, orthe condominium projects turning upin many neighbourhoods, or the con-tinuing development on Promontory,now home to thousands of peoplewhere there were only hobby farms20 years ago, but something’s makingthem realize that this isn’t just dairy

farming country any more.

In 2004, 65% said that Chilliwackwas more of a rural community thanan urban community. By 2004 thatnumber had dropped to 51%, a 14%decrease over five years.

Still, people seem to think that Chill-iwack maintains some rural charm.

When asked if life in Chilliwack isless complicated than in a bigger city,83% said yes (the same percentage asin 2004). More than 80% agreed thatgenerally speaking, people in Chilli-wack are friendly. Almost 70% saidthat they felt a sense of belongingin their immediate neighbourhood.And 66% agreed that Chilliwack asa whole has a sense of community,while 69% said they like the size ofChilliwack.

And 20% said that rural lifestyle wasa determining factor for moving toChilliwack (down from 39% in 2004).

People who live in Chilliwack seem towant to stay, or so our survey indicates.Most (95%) see themselves staying inChilliwack for the near future.

Almost a third (30%) of the respon-dents to the survey live in Sardis, while18% are from Chilliwack proper and17% live in the downtown Chilliwackarea.

Around 40% of respondents havelived in the community for five years orless, with the newcomers being distrib-uted among all age groups. This maybe reflective of Chilliwack’s popularityas a good place to retire to, or to moveto in order to raise a family and afford asingle-family home.

The most common reason cited formoving to their current location washousing affordability, although therewas growing dissatisfaction with theactual purchase price. Those who rentwere slightly more pessimistic abouttheir ability to purchase in the next fiveyears, as compared to the 2004 respon-dents. When asked which Chilliwackarea they would choose to live in if theymoved, Sardis was the most popularchoice for all age categories.

Although most respondents (92%— an increase of 6% from 2004) weresatisfied with their current residence,there was a decline of 9% in satisfac-tion with housing costs. This could bea reflection of people adapting theirexpectations to meet current realities,and putting dreams of improved hous-

ing on hold.

Other reasons influencing people tomove to their current location includedfamily, employment, being born andraised here, natural environment,and the rural lifestyle. For the lattertwo categories, the number of peoplereporting these as reasons had declinedby 9% and 19% respectively since 2004,so Chilliwack may no longer be seenas the “green heart” of BC as much asit used to be when that was the city’smarketing slogan in the 1980s.

Healthcare, post-secondary opportu-nities, urban lifestyle, low crime levels,and religious reasons all scored lowon motivating factors for moving toChilliwack.

CHILLIWACK’S RURAL TO URBAN TRANSITION WE’RE A STABLE BUNCH WHEN IT COMES TOHOUSING

FUTURE HOUSINGNEEDSMost of the respondents live ina single-family dwelling. Most(83%) are confident that they willbe able to find the housing theyneed if they choose to move inthe next 10 years.

Keeping in mind that the surveyrespondents are older than theaverage Chilliwack person, theyidentified future housing needsas: single family dwelling (42%),adult-only housing (13%), apart-ment or condo (16%), and as-sisted living (14%).

Chilliwack’s only locally owned& operated family service

Pursuant to the Income Tax Act,§159, a personal representativehas every interest in securinga clearance certificate beforedistributing property that he or shecontrols in their capacity as the legalrepresentative. If the estate propertyis distributed without a certificate,your personal liability for the estate’sunpaid taxes, plus interest, maybe claimed by CRA. The questionoften is: if I make a distributionto others, will there be enoughproperty remaining to pay any CRAtax liability?

In any event, such a certificate mayclear the personal representativefrom personal liability but does notclear the estate, which remains liablein the event of a future claim fromCRA.

This article is just general legalinformation designed to introducethis esoteric and complex area ofthe law to the individual stuckwith acting as another’s personalrepresentative, and just skims thesurface of tax issues, what with someprovinces still managing distincttax administrations. Numerousscenarios and options have notbeen canvassed, any one of whichmight save the estate considerabletax liability. There are so many side-roads in the taxation of an estate -some to the benefit of the estate andother to CRA - that any executoris strongly encouraged to seek andobtain legal and accounting advice.Some hardy folk like to defy logicand “do it yourself” but I wouldn’tattempt it unless (1) you like payingtaxes or (2) you just happen to beone of those rare doubly-qualifiedbirds, the C.A./lawyer variety.

A lawyer will generally advise thepersonal representative to ensurethat written advice is given to thebeneficiaries as to their individualresponsibilities to pay taxes on anyportion of the estate they receive.

Consulting with the deceased’saccountant, if known, may have asignificant benefit for the personal

representative. For one, theaccountant can usually produceprevious year tax information.,Secondly, the accountant may beaware, if not an advisor, of taxavoidance strategies measuresimplemented by the deceased priorto death precisely to minimize thetaxation upon the estate.

A chartered accountant may alsobe able to assist in transferring thetax liability from the estate to thebeneficiary in a lower tax bracket,depending on the relative facts ofeach.

Often an estate will have anoutside-of-Canada beneficiarywhich creates its own host of issuessuch an obligation on the personalrepresentative to act as tax collectorfor CRA by withholding taxes due

by the non-resident beneficiary, arole and obligation certain to makethe executor popular at future familygatherings.

Finally, CRA is notoriously slowin processing estate returns as theyseem to go to the bottom of theirpile and are dealt with after thetax returns of living Canadians areprocessed. Staff at CRA are generallyhelpful in answering questionsso don’t be shy of calling themand always keep detailed writtennotes of your conversations withthem including the CRA officer’sname and the date and time of theconsultation.

News

The Chilliwack Christmas BirdCount turned up 94 differentbird species and a whopping

47,505 individual birds.The mild weather made life easy

for the more than 40 volunteers,who counted nearly 16,000 morebirds than in 2009 and 27,000 morethan two years ago.

Highlights of the bird countincluded: a spotting of a single Wil-son’s snipe, a rare observation for

this time of year and 57 Eurasiancollared doves, up from a high of 38last year and just five in 2008 (we arelikely to continue to see increasingnumbers of these birds as they con-tinue to expand their range).

There were fewer owls seen thisyear; no barn owls were spottedand just two great horned and onenorthern pygmy owl were spotted.

Seventy-three red-tailed hawkswere counted, along with three

rough–legged hawks, nine Americankestrel, six merlin, two peregrine fal-cons (the speediest bird in the world)and the first golden eagle in years.From the section of the count thatlies north of the Fraser River, coun-ters found the only yellow-rumpedwarbler, seven northern pintails, 65canvasback and three redheads.

“We had a good count this yearwith relatively mild weather pluswith all counters doing an excellent

job of finding and identifying birds,”said organizer Denis Knopp in apress release.

Jamie Gadsden reported the onlyAmerican goldfinch and anothercounter from downtown Chilliwackreporting the only two Anna’s hum-mingbirds found this year.

The count covered a 24.1-kilo-metre-across circle reaching fromCultus Lake in the south to Derocheand Harrison Bay in the north.

BY MARILYNNE V. BLACKSpecial to the Times

Let’s celebrate! Jan. 27 is Family LiteracyDay and ABC Life Literacy Canada’s“Read Together, Grow Together” cam-

paign is a wonderful resource to explore atabclifeliteracy.ca.

ABC Life Literacy Canada is a nationalnon-profit organization that inspires Cana-dians to increase their literacy skills. Theymobilize business, government and com-munities to support life-long learning andachieve its goals through leadership in pro-grams, communications and partnerships.ABC Life Literacy Canada envisions a Cana-da where everyone has the skills they needto live a fully engaged life.

There’s a colouring contest associated withFamily Literacy Day that your child can enterand possibly win a Hasbro gift pack. Someother areas on the site to investigate are: tips,activities and resources; Family Literacy DayActivity Book; The ABCs of Family Literacy;and Literacy Tips for Kids.

Another interesting aspect of this site isthe fact that you can connect to great lit-eracy ideas sent in by parents through suchsocial networks as Facebook, Twitter, andYoutube. The icons are on the top right ofthe title page.

Because I joined through Facebook, a fewdays ago I received a page of suggestions.One example is from Christine Nesseth whowrote, “When we’re grocery shopping wepick out one fruit, vegetable or special ingre-dient that we’ve never tried eating. When we

get home we go on the Internet and find arecipe that uses that new ingredient. Dur-ing our research we usually learn somethingnew about the food, where it comes fromand what it’s used for. A cooking, history andgeography lesson all wrapped up in one.”

And, don’t stop after the 27th. Keep goingon a daily basis with one or more of themany ideas suggested by parents such as bySheri Robertson www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=512661931. She says, “We practise ourspelling words in the tub with crayon soap.”

My suggestions are to read daily—just 20minutes a day makes a huge impact on a child’slearning—and read Canadian books. We havea wealth of wonderful Canadian authors andillustrators for all ages writing poetry, informa-tion books, novels and picture books.

WINTER DRIVING TIP:Routine Maintenance

For winter, it’s important to ensure your vehicle’sbattery and charging system are in goodoperating condition. In cold weather, a battery’scranking power is reduced significantly. At thesame time, the electrical power needed to startyour car increases when the temperature plunges.Having quality jumper cables or a portable powerpack in your trunk is a superb way to prepare forthe worst. At the same time, check to make sureyour heater and defroster work. Finally, checkyour wiper blades.
