Daylight saving time, dont get caught asleep at the wheel

On Sunday, March 11, most communities in B.C. will switch to Daylight Saving Time. That means some pretty drowsy drivers behind the wheel going to and from work the following Monday.Driver fatigue is a danger-ous condition where the symptoms of sleepiness can severely impair driving performance. Studies show that our circadian rhythms or body clocks, dont adjust to time changes naturally. A tired driver is a dangerous driver.Sleep deprivation impairs brain function as much as alcohol does, reducing the ability of the mind and body to respond quickly and accu-rately. This impairment can affect your driving ability long before you even notice youre getting tired. Symptoms of driver fatigue range from heavy eyelids, frequent yawning, and feel-ing irritable to misjudg-ing traffic situations, being

surprised by a pedestrian or cyclist and allowing your vehicle to wander or drift across the line.Sleep related collisions, hitting a pedestrian, rear-ending the vehicle in front of you, veering off of the road and into a parked car, are very common after a time change.Sleep is what the body really needs to be able to function properly. The BCAA Road Safety Foundation recommends drivers do the following:

- Adjust your sleep patterns before the time change.- Avoid caffeine or other substances to wake you up. This is short term and you may feel even more fatigued once it wears off. - For better visibility drive with your headlights on during the darker morning commute.- Be aware of the increased number of people out walk-ing in the evenings taking advantage of the extra day-light, especially in residen-tial areas.

There is One Race, the Human Race

Ken Herar can be reached at [email protected] or view his blog

at http://kenherar.blogspot.com

At times, its not easy walk-ing the walk and talking the talk regarding diversity. Sometimes we say things we may regret later on due to ignorance or otherwise. One thing is clear, I dont have all the answers, however, Im always interested in learning, offer-ing feedback and providing leader-ship where needed.

Ive had the following statement said to me many times; There is one race, the human race. I would like to take some time to expound upon this. Theres some truth to this reference, however, sometimes its used as a blanket statement and it neglects to delve into the real issues we face in our communities. Yes we are all part of the human race, how-ever, the issue we still face is that people are categorized and defined by their nationalities which can lead to stereotyping. When people use this statement, I believe they have good intentions, however, theyre not recognizing the different levels individuals are at with their under-standing and viewpoints of all people being equal.

We all like to believe that the world is a great place and that diversity is working, but the truth is that much work remains for this statement to become a reality. Ive found that in the process of everyone speaking on diversity, we find ourselves focusing more on our differences than what makes us equal. I think this could be a fault regarding the matter. Ive learned that what we should be do-ing is identifying what we all have in common and what makes us the same and by doing so, we will then be able to accept and learn to cel-ebrate diversity. It may take people to get out of the village way of life that they have become accustom to and have brought with them to Canada. Some new Canadians that hold onto this mindset are actually isolating themselves rather than in-tegrating into the mainstream.

While growing up, I recall when people made reference to the com-munity it was understood to be considered one. Now when we make

reference to the community there are many parallel communities to what we used to refer as the single community. Is this a good thing? Time will only tell.

I have some exciting news. Myself and Sarina Di Martino Derksen, who is the Executive Coordinator for the Cycling4Diversity are announcing the 2nd annual ride in celebration of World Day for Cultural Diversity on May 21st. The ride is scheduled to take place May 22nd - May 25th. Again, we will be traveling through-out the Lower Mainland beginning in Mission and ending in Victoria at the Legislature. Speaking with Di Martino Derksen, who has been busy putting together different aspects of the ride shared the following; Once again this year we are scheduled to have a very exciting time in each of the cities we visit. Currently were focussing on adding additional cy-clists, both core and inner-city and are looking for people to join our dynamic team. Whether it be in the form of financial sponsorship, vol-unteers or cyclists. If you believe in this message and would like to make a difference and be part of this program, please contact us at [email protected].

Parents warned of unsanctioned trips being marketed to studentsA caution to parents and guardians of grade 11 and 12 students is again being issued by the Abbotsford School District regarding non-school sanctioned ex-cursions being marketed to students. Of particular note are excursions by a business which pro-motes trips during various holiday times as well as weekends. These trips are advertised as being overseen (by company personnel) that includes Canadian high school teachers. Abbotsford School District person-nel are not officially part of these trips. A greater concern is the marketing approach which centers on recruiting a few grade 11 and 12 students at each school to organize and sign-up other students.

We have reports that some grade 11 students

are being recruited at our schools to be coordinators for grad trips for next year already says Superin-tendent Kevin Godden. Materials being distrib-uted now indicate the companys staff will be holding a meeting with your childs class or other students. Parents should know these meetings, if held, are not held or ap-proved through any of our schools.

We receive reports that indicate students give par-ents and families the im-pression these are school-sanctioned trips notes School District Superin-tendent Kevin Godden. They are absolutely not sanctioned or supported by our schools. We ad-vise parents to be very involved in any decision about allowing students to travel on such excursions without parents or family,

and to have a conversation with their sons or daugh-ters about the potential for problems, including exposure to alcohol and other risk behaviour on such trips.

Our schools and District work hard to foster a posi-tive, safe and healthy en-vironment that encourages student growth says the Superintendent. This in-cludes being pro-active in advising parents and fami-lies when we come across matters that can result in negative consequences and behaviour, including these unsanctioned trips. We appreciate parents and families being aware of their sons and daugh-ters activities. If parents have any concerns about student travel, we encour-age them to contact their school administrators or school district administra-tion.

Smokers Material Suspected as Cause

of House Fire.At 2:30 AM on Wednesday, February 29, 2012, the Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) responded to a report of a house on fire on Lonsdale Crescent.

Fire crews arrived to find the home with substantial flames showing through the middle of the roof.

The fire appeared to have started outside the home but had climbed into the roof structure and was spreading rapidly. Crews conducted an aggressive coordinated interior and exterior fire attack and were able to stop the fire spread and limit damage.

Although it was initially believed that one resi-dent was trapped in the home, firefighters quickly ascertained that all had actually safely evacuated without injury. One of the five residents was alerted to the fire by smell of smoke. He attempted to douse the fire with a garden hose, but when that was unsuccessful, called 911.

Fire investigators attended the scene and have concluded that the fire was caused by a cigarette which was not properly extinguished in a covered deck area adjacent to the house.

A representative from Emergency Social Services also attended and assisted three of the buildings residents in securing alternate accommodations.

While damage estimates from this fire are prelimi-nary, they are expected to exceed $200,000.

The AFRS wishes to remind citizens that smoking, even outdoors, remains a major cause of house fires and that cigarettes must always be disposed of in a safe, appropriate container. A metal bucket filled with sand is probably the safest form of receptacle

Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce Discusses Ethnocultural Diversity

By Mandeep Wirk

On F e b r u a r y 2 9 , D i r e c t o r Satwinder Bains of the UFV Centre for Indo Canadian Studies and Research gave the keynote address at the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerces

business luncheon. Mrs. Bains speech promoting the advantages of local businesses reaching out to ethnocultural communities was well received.

Abbotsford is the third most ethnically diverse city in Canada. Fifty eight different ethnocultural groups live here. Abbotsford is on Sto:lo land and we must thank the Sto:lo people for sharing it with us.

Local businesses need to realize that we are living in a global economy and that both the customer base and global markets a r e b e c o m i n g m o r e diverse. So, it is critical

for businesses to seize the opportunities that diversity brings in order to survive. Human capital is their most valuable resource. Businesses also need to understand their customers cultures and decision making processes; language alone is not enough.

To d a y, i m m i g r a n t s comprise 25% of the local population. In 2031, this figure will jump to 40%. Our country has an immigration policy because of an increasingly aging populace combined with a consistently low birth rate. Local area b u s i n e s s e s n e e d t o diversify their workforce and look to people in the diaspora to open linkages to local and global markets that have previously been closed. Tokenism is to be

avoided and the workplace needs to reflect the people of Abbotsford. Businesses n e e d t o e n g a g e i n transformational change to ensure that all employees are treated fairly; prejudice and discrimination in the workplace should be eliminated. Management needs to say in plain words that the company values diversity as a source of innovation and creativity.

Abbotsford is doing okay but the fact that it has been selected for a diversity project means that more work needs to be done.

Employers can now access more information online about Citizenship and Im-migration Canada (CIC) programs to hire permanent and temporary foreign work-ers, Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

In keeping with the govern-ments focus on the im-portance of immigration to Canadas economy and growth, the CIC website has been redesigned to include a new section to guide em-ployers to the most suitable program.

The economy and job growth remain the number one priority of the Govern-ment, said Minister Jason Kenney. Labour shortages are becoming a growing problem in many regions, and this website will help employers access informa-tion that will help them hire permanent or temporary foreign workers when no Canadians are able to fill a position.

Employers can learn the steps involved in hiring temporary foreign workers, helping to bring a worker to Canada permanently and hiring international students studying in Canada.

In addition to the enhanced website, the Department is reaching out directly to employers through public consultations.

Immigration is becoming increasingly important to meeting our labour market needs, said Minister Ken-ney. I want to strengthen the partnership with employ-ers to ensure our economic immigration program bet-ter meets the needs of our economy.

This new website, a work in progress, builds on the suc-cess of other online tools for employers, such as the Em-ployers Roadmap, available at http://www.credentials.gc.ca/employers/roadmap/index.asp

Employers have access to more online information to hire workers

needed to fill labour shortages

Parent and Grandparent Super Visa soars to new heights

Super Visa approval rate now at 77 percent

More than one thousand Par-ent and Grandparent Super Visa applications have been approved in less than three months since the Super Visa program took flight, for an overall approval rate of 77 percent, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced.

Im pleased that the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is working as intended and giving large numbers of eligible parents and grandparents an opportunity to spend extended periods of time with their families in Canada, said Minister Kenney.

The process for getting a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is simple and straightforward. Applicants for the Super Visa must submit proof that the host child or grandchild meets a minimum income, demonstrate that they have purchased comprehensive Canadian medical insurance and

undergo the Immigration Medical Ex-amination. Almost 99 percent of Super Visa applicants who met these require-ments also went on to meet all other standard admissibility criteria which are required for all visa applicants.

In the days following its announce-ment, Abbotsford-based writer Man-preet Grewal said that few would argue the wisdom of the new parent and grandparent super visa. She added that the super visa will allow parents and grandparents to follow a natural flow between Canada and other countries without creating an unnecessary burden on the Canadian taxpayer or spinning families into un-necessary stress.

As of February 26, 80 percent of the finalized Super Visa applications were processed to a final decision within 41 calendar days, well below the target of eight weeks. As application volumes ramp up, Citizenship and Immigra-tion Canada will continue to aim for a Super Visa processing time of eight weeks or less.

a.. MLAs freezing own pay for third and fourth straight years b.. MLAs and thousands of other public sector employees live by net zero why not teachers? The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today commended the B.C. Gov-ernment for scrapping a scheduled pay raise for the third and fourth straight years.When governments are bleeding red ink, everyone needs to do their part, said Jordan Bateman, the CTFs B.C. Di-rector. MLAs need to lead by example and freezing their pay for four straight years is a great start.The pay freeze was extended as part of last months B.C. Budget legislation. Despite that fact, the B.C. Teachers Federation has been wrongly claiming that MLAs are getting a pay increase. One of the B.C. Teachers Federations key talking points through social media is that MLAs are getting raises and teachers arent, said Bateman. Thats just plain false. MLAs and thousands of other public sector employees are living with the net zero wage mandatewhy not teachers?The net zero wage mandate saved B.C. taxpayers $3 billion this fiscal year. Net

zero is the single best thing this govern-ment has done to control costs, said Bateman. Its been such an important tool that even free-spending govern-ments like Ontario want to emulate it.The Ontario Government announced last week it wants to freeze teacher pay for at least two years and plans to eliminate some of their benefits package, specifi-cally the ability to cash-in unused sick leave.Ontarios huge deficit should be a warning to B.C. taxpayers about simply throwing money at problems or loud in-terest groups, said Bateman. We sim-ply cannot afford to continue increasing every public sector employees pay and benefits forever.

The B.C. cabinet has gone even further than a simple pay freeze, taking a 10 per cent pay cut when the Province is in deficit.

While we have continuing concerns about MLA pensions and other pay issues, one has to give credit where credit is due, said Bateman. Its clear that cabinet feels the pinch of deficit budgets in their own lives and thats an example that the CTF has encouraged other provinces, and levels of govern-ment, to follow.

Health system protects patient care amid drug shortage

The Province, health a u t h o r i t i e s a n d Health Shared Ser-vices BC, and B.C.s fed-eral partners are working together to protect patient care and avoid disruptions during a Canada-wide shortage of certain medi-cations used primarily in hospitals, Health Minister Michael de Jong said today.Drug manufacturer Sandoz Canada, which is a key sup-plier of the countrys inject-able drugs, has temporarily suspended manufacturing and/or reduced the amounts produced of a number of its products due to operational issues. This decrease in supply may last for up to 18 months.This has caused lower stocks in hospitals in B.C. and throughout Canada of some routinely used drugs, especially injectable nar-cotics such as morphine, hydromorphone and fen-tanyl. These drugs are used to treat moderate to severe pain in such cases as pa-

tients after surgery and can-cer patients. De Jong said the Ministry of Health and its federal and provincial partners have been working closely together to ensure all hospitals have these critical supplies. Hospitals and health authorities have shared stocks when neces-sary and will continue to pool resources. Hospitals are also using oral versions of some of the drugs when appropriate.

The Province is explor-ing securing international supplies and has identified potential supply in the Unites States, the United Kingdom, Austria, Aus-tralia, France, Ireland and Germany. British Colum-bia is working with other provinces, such as Mani-toba and Alberta, to look at joint contracting op-portunities with alternate suppliers.

At this time, there has been no known effect on patient care. However, if stocks continue to decrease, elec-tive procedures may have to be rescheduled at some locations. Health authori-ties have not yet had to make any such decisions. Palliative care patients, emergencies and those requiring life-saving pro-cedures will be given top priority for these drugs, de Jong said.

Computer tech support scam targets British Columbians

For several months, phone scam-mers have been targeting British Columbians by pretending to be with a reputable computer software company, asking to perform urgent soft-ware updates and requesting hundreds of dollars as a fee for their service.

In response to this and other frauds, the Province and Consumer Protection BC are teaming up during Fraud Prevention Month to provide tips to help British Columbians fraud-proof themselves.

Fraud Prevention Month is a national initiative with the goal of fighting fraud aimed at businesses and consumers. This phone scam is a prevalent one. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre says it currently accounts for 70 per cent of all fraud complaints in Canada.

The phone scam works like this: Tom, a B.C. resident, receives a phone call at dinner time. The caller explains he is from Microsoft Tech Support. He asks Tom whether his computer is running slowly and encourages him to download software right away to fix his computer. Tom has found that his system has been sluggish lately so he follows the callers instructions and bills the new software to his credit card. The total bill is in the hundreds of dollars.

Unfortunately, Tom has been scammed and has installed spyware, or malware, on his computer. The corrupt program can potentially monitor what he is typ-ing on his computer, including personal

information like banking details and passwords.

Here are some tips to protect you and your family from becoming a victim of this virus-fixing scheme:

If you receive one of these unsolicited phone calls, hang up and do not down-load anything onto your computer.

Do your research and ask questions around all unsolicited phone calls.

Get the name, phone number and web-site address of any company that calls you. Check to see if it is a legitimate company or if a real companys name is being used as part of a scam. The Inter-net has a great deal of useful information on scam avoidance.

Do not provide any personal informa-tion, especially your credit card number.

To stay informed about possible scams and to warn others:

o Visit Consumer Protection BC on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/Con-sumerProtectionBC

o Report any fraudulent activity to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre by calling 1 888 495-8501.

Know your rights! If you have ques-tions about your rights and responsibili-ties as a B.C. consumer, please contact Consumer Protection BC, toll-free at 1 888 564-9963 or online at: www.con-sumerprotectionbc.ca

Staff Taken to Hospital after Chemical Spill

At 2:06 AM on Sunday morning, March 5, 2012, the Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) responded to a report of restaurant staff evacuating a building as a result of fumes from an unknown chemical that smelled like bleach causing sore throats and watery eyes at 33790 Essendene Avenue.

On arrival, fire crews found that all the staff from the restaurant had evacuated the building. Four people were suffering from symptoms that included irritated eyes and sore throats. Two people were transported to hospital by BC Ambu-lance and two others went to Mission Hospital on their own.

After gathering information from staff, fire crews wearing full protective cloth-ing entered the building to attempt to

identify the type of product involved and determine the cause of the release.

Fire crews were initially not able to determine if the problem originated in a HVAC unit (heating ventilation air conditioner) or cleaning appliance so the power was turned off to the equip-ment to isolate the problem and a HVAC technician was called out to identify the source of the problem. It was discovered that a hose had released from a Chlo-rine based sanitizer appliance used for washing glasses allowing the product to release and causing the irritations to the restaurant staff.

The appliance was repaired and fire crews cleared the scene at 05:53 am. The restaurant was able to open up in time for the public for normal operat-ing hours.

Statement on mediation and seniority rights of teachersMinister of Education George Abbott has is-sued the following state-ment:

Last week, I introduced Bill 22, which sets a cooling off period and suspends the teach-ers union strike action while calling on the as-sistance of a mediator. It also implements the $165-million Learning Improvement Fund and other measures that will play a fundamental role in the future of education in our province.

Unfortunately, before Bill 22 was even tabled, the British Columbia Teachers Federation was moving to escalate their strike. The union has since ramped up the rhetoric and distorted what Bill 22 seeks to accomplish.

A clear example is their claim that Bill 22 strips

seniority rights from teachers. Nothing could be further from the truth. Bill 22 does not change current seniority provi-sions, and it does not strip teachers of senior-ity rights. Seniority will continue to be an im-portant factor in filling teaching positions.

While the teachers union initially called for mediation, they rejected the approach set out in Bill 22 because it makes it clear that any medi-ated settlement must respect the net-zero man-date. This is no surprise as virtually every other public sector union in the province has signed agreements at net-zero, and government has clearly and consistently stated that the BCTFs demands for a $2-billion increase to wages and benefits are completely

unreasonable given the current economic reality.

But there is room to compromise and seek agreement through me-diation on the full range of issues each party brought to the table. Bill 22 simply makes it clear that mediation must attempt to address the local-provincial split of bargaining issues a central issue of im-portance to the BCTF as well as issues of importance to employ-ers including effective feedback and evaluation of teachers to promote improvement, alignment of professional devel-opment with teaching needs, and scheduling and selection of teachers suited to student needs. The mediators mandate is a balanced one seek-ing to address issues of importance to both sides in this dispute.

The union and their labour allies have taken the desire to discuss the selection of teachers to mean that the govern-ment is aiming to elimi-nate seniority. This is clearly not the case. We believe that qualifica-tions to teach a specific subject area should play a more consistent and significant role when filling vacancies in our schools.

To be clear, people with greater seniority should have greater job security and protection from layoff than those with less seniority. As well, if two teachers are equally qualified to meet a classroom assign-ment, the person with more seniority should get the job. This is a long-standing principle that we endorse.

But this does not mean that someone who has never taught nor had any training in mathematics should be entitled to teach mathematics sim-ply because they have seniority.

In several school dis-tricts, there is effective language in place that balances subject quali-fications with seniority. What the employer is looking for is simply a discussion with the union on how these lo-cal provisions can be more consistently ap-plied provincewide. Bill 22 does not predetermine the outcome. Rather, it requires the mediator to engage the parties in a meaningful discussion on the topic.

Bill 22 sets out a fair and balanced mediation process to address issues important to both the

BCTF and the employer in an effort to reach a mediated settlement that follows the lead of vir-tually every other pub-lic sector union in the province by respecting the net-zero mandate. In the days ahead, I hope the BCTF will take a reasonable approach and engage constructively in the mediation process that government has put forward to provide stu-dents and their parents with certainty.

We believe that the me-diator needs to be able to address these issues in good faith and with re-spect and consideration to both sides so that skill and expertise are considered along with seniority when mak-ing staffing decisions in schools.George Abbott Minister of Education

Pay careful attention, as something will not continue in the way it has been initially set up. You will need to rethink matters for some reason. This will likely involve money or income, as well as someone else. You can benefit, but only through being prepared to go over all the details that have something to do with the past.

You can feel lucky but also experience many things falling into place easily this week. You could come into contact with people from the past whose company you have enjoyed or decide it is time you went back and did something that was fulfilling in the past. The temptation to overindulge in pleasures will be high as well.

Getting yourself moving may be difficult you will feel more like resting and taking it easy. For this reason, you may feel you are not accomplishing much at all. You should rethink any plans you already have in place to get on with. This time more suited to rest is good for contemplation, bringing different ideas to the surface.

Activity involving you with a group of people can develop into something far greater than you first anticipate. You need to be careful about what you say because the mood can be so relaxed that anything seems all right. There can be somebody who wants greater control and could prove rather manipulative with information they get.

You could be greatly appreciated for the way you have conducted yourself in any situations of responsibility. This could also be associated with work or business. It may encourage you to rethink a future path you were planning to take. Dont be tempted to be impulsive. Smaller details need to be thoroughly investigated.

You need to focus on yourself and the things you are able to have some control over. What others really believe will be hard to fathom, as they can be both mysterious as well as indecisive. The more optimistic you are, the more you will find things going your way, bringing pleasure and stimulating your self confidence.

Others can be highly unpredictable but in a strange way you could end up gaining some sort of benefit. There could be those who are working behind your back but this may not turn out to be the success they were hoping for. The only indication you will have of this will be them changing their mind or bringing a halt to a matter.

Someone else is prepared to be most generous from which you can benefit. There will be something associated with the past. What is different now is the need for you to make a definite decision. Not that this has to be done straight away but you have to think over your options so you are ready to move when the time is right.

You could see the benefit in scaling down your personal involvement in a particular situation. You may enjoy it but realise it takes up time you should be spending on other things that can improve your standing and eventually bring greater recognition. Dont plan social activities too far in advance as things can change.

You have been way more social that usual since June and while this can continue to increase you may feel it is time you looked at it a little more seriously. The sense of having to return to past ways of organisation if you are to accomplish future goals can nag at you. Doing this can produce a large degree of pleasure and satisfaction.

There is much to be happy about at home or with matters connected to family. Any changes you are making have underlying security that can produce greater growth as time goes on. Someone else could change their mind in a way that could prove beneficial to you. You could sense this, but wait for matters to surface their way.

Someone else could be more prepared to compromise than you believe.
