Spike in property crime seen in north ChilliwackRobert FreemanThe Progress

A spike in property crimes on Chilliwacks north side has the RCMP hitting the streets both in uniforms and plains clothes officers.

We recognized that this is an issue right now in our community and it is a big priority for us, Sgt. Steve McLeod said.

There were 82 thefts from vehicles reported on the north side of Chilliwack between Sept. 1 and Sept. 30, police said.

The primary target of these crimes appear to be thefts from motor vehicles.

But why the surge isnt clear.RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said part of

the reason could be the fine summer weather Chilliwack has been enjoying.

Crime can be seasonal, she said, and while homeowners are on holidays or out and about, the criminals are taking advantage of their absence.

Auxiliary police officers and volunteers from the Citizens On Patrol group will also be gather-ing intelligence in an attempt to identify the indi-viduals responsible for the crimes, police said.

Anyone with information that can help their investigation is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

A male dachshund gets his nails trimmed by animal health technologist Jacqui Hall as animal care attendant Kimberly Berry holds him at the Chilliwack SPCA on Tuesday. A total of 18 dachshunds were surrendered to the SPCA by a Chilliwack resi-dent who was breeding them. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Jennifer FeinbergThe Progress

Chilliwack SPCA is awash in nervous dachshunds at the moment.

The facility on Hopedale Road is housing what remains of a group of 18 standard-size dachshunds surrendered to the SPCA recently by a Chilliwack resident who was breeding them.

Theyre now looking to fos-ter out the remaining 10 dogs.

Foster homes are needed to assist with socializing and teaching them what it is to be a normal pet, said Ivanna Ferris, branch manager of the Chilliwack SPCA.

In the long-term, theyre

looking for forever homes.Most of the dogs were

female, with many suffering dental problems, a common characteristic of these small dogs. A couple were pregnant and some were underweight.

When they arrived, they were very fearful, and would sometimes snap at people.

But within a matter of days, working closely with our staff and volunteers theyve changed. Now theyll come to you without fear. I think theyve made just a remark-able turn-around in a short time.

They still need to be house-trained and taught how to walk on leash, she said. Theyre all under five years old, and

need to be spayed or neutered before being adopted.

They need to be exposed, in a positive way, to normal experiences in home like chil-dren, riding in a car or going out in public, she said. All of the normal experiences that a family pet would have are important for these nervous little dogs.

But the best type of home would be one that is fairly quiet, without toddlers, noise or too much activity.

It was a call from a con-cerned member of the public that led to the investigation by SPCA.

One dachshund is being fostered in Surrey, while another three of the origi-

nal 18 were transferred to a Maple Ridge facility. Another four were transported to the Vancouver SPCA Tuesday, where some dental work will be performed.

Already theres a long list of appointments made by people interested in coming to see the dogs. On Tuesday, some were getting their nails clipped.

Some of the foster homes might turn into forever homes, said Ferris. Our goal now is to get them out of the shelter as quickly as we can.

To meet the dachshunds, call the SPCA at 604-823-6612.

NewsThroness seeks BC Liberal nomination in Chilliwack-HopeRobert FreemanThe Progress

Laurie Throness is looking for-ward to winning the BC Liberal nomination in Chilliwack-Hope, and taking on NDP MLA Gwen OMahony one more time.

OMahony won an April byelec-tion here that moved the riding into the NDP camp for the first time in decades.

But Throness believes the NDP victory at that time was due only to

the split in the conservative vote as the upstart BC Conservative Party took votes away from the BC Liberals.

The people of Chilliwack-Hope voted strategically to send a mes-sage to the government, and I think they will send a message again ... that they dont want an NDP government, Thorness said Tuesday.

He said he believes voters in Chilliwack-Hope will return to the BC Liberals in the May 14, 2013

provincial election, just like his for-mer byelection rival John Martin.

Martin has now quit the BC Conservatives and is running as the BC Liberal candidate in the Chilliwack riding to replace retir-ing MLA John Les.

In the April byelection, the pub-lic expressed its mood by voting for the BC Conservatives, but Throness said he sees a change in that mood as the rival party is torn with internal struggles.

Which can only be good news

for the BC Liberals.Throness said if he wins the BC

Liberal nomination, hes eager to get back on the campaign trail and stand by the BC Liberal govern-ments financial record.

Its a government that deserves to be re-elected, he said.

Its going to be an epochal action, he said, about the upcom-ing election. Im looking forward to it.

No date has been set for the BC Liberal nomination meeting

in Chilliwack-Hope, but Throness said his candidates application was accepted by the party last Thursday.

His nomination as the partys candidate seems assured, not just because of his previous political experience and conservative con-nections, but he was also front and centre at the news conference with MLA John Les when Martin announced his decision to leave the BC Conservatives.

BC Conservative leader John Cummins has issued an ultima-tum to dissident party members who continue to agitate for a replacement: unite behind him or get out.

The showdown comes as more Conservative insiders are public opposing Cummins con-tinuing as leader.

Those few but vocal party members who are critical of my leadership and do not sup-port me have until 12:00 noon, Wednesday, to either get on-side or quit our party and join another, Cummins said in a news release.

Those who leave by the dead-line will be refunded member-ship fees and any donations made within the last year, he said.

Cummins said his dedica-tion to the BC Conservatives is unwavering and that he fully intends to lead the party into next Mays provincial election.

Im not going anywhere, he said.

Cummins cited last months 70 per cent vote of party mem-bers against a leadership review as evidence of a solid majority behind him, but the split in the party continues to fester.

A leaked letter sent to Cummins Tuesday from Allison Patton and Ariane Eckardt the partys constituency associa-tion presidents in Surrey-White Rock and Burnaby North, respectively pleads for him to quit and give the Tories a new chance to win back voters.

In it, Patton and Eckardt say there are there are now 20 local

Several Cultus Lake residents are lodging complaints about the Cultus Lake Park Board with the B.C. Ombudsperson.

Former Park Board commissioner Terry Woodrow said the reason for lodging a com-plaint is his growing concern about the June 27 board decision to cancel the public question period portion of meetings indefinitely.

Their decision effectively cut the public off at the knees, he said. Who does that?

In the wake of the in-camera decision, the board chair was given the mandate to draft a letter explaining why the park board came to this decision. Some commissioners and staff felt they werent being given the respect they deserve, and that some members of the public had stepped over the proper lines of decorum during question period.

Woodrow said the respect issue cited, is just a smokescreen.

I made the complaint because I think the public needs some relief from this decision that the park board made in camera to violate their own bylaws, said Woodrow.

As of press deadline, a proposal to reconsider the whole question period matter at Wednesday nights meeting was contained in the meeting agenda.

There were several scenarios proposed by Commissioner Charlotte Hall, and two of them suggest changing the wording of the procedural bylaw from the board shall hold a 30-minute question period, to may.

One of the ideas is even gaining even tighter control over question period.

When the Chair or Commissioner(s) con-siders the conduct of the public improper, the Chair shall close the question period immedi-ately, reads one of the proposals.

Woodrow is alarmed.Its outrageous.During his term as a commissioner, public

question period was always a crucial and demo-cratic part of the boards function.

But there is also some history dating back to 2009 when park board officials tried to change the question period and opt not to keep a record of the public questions.

Cancellation of Cultus Lake question period still under fire

The coming rains should help local migrating salmon.

The Chilliwack River, including its tributar-ies and channels, has been experiencing low water conditions but this isnt affecting the

adult salmon migra-tion to the Chilliwack River Hatchery, said a Fisheries and Oceans Canada official.

It is still early in the

fall salmon migration so the impact on fish has so far been mini-mal, said DFO media spokesperson Carrie Mishima.

The peak spawning time for most salmon is still two weeks to a month away.

Salmon tend to hold off entering freshwater until the fall rains begin, but there have been local reports about chum salmon already returning to the Hope Slough spawning riffle.

Rain is forecast, so

water flows should improve soon, said Mishima.

Right across B.C., many streams are expe-riencing low water flow levels due to ongoing drought conditions.

The Department is monitoring the situ-ation closely, and to date salmon continue to migrate successfully

into most river sys-tems, she said.

I think there is a real disconnect here, and the commissioners arent doing themselves any favours, Woodrow said.

In fact I think theyre doing the public and them-selves a great disservice.

The majority of the board has decided it does not want to hear what the public has to say, and thats just wrong.

An official with the BC Ombudsperson office said there could be no statement to the media, not even confirmation of complaints lodged, until after they are investigated and the report is filed.

Woodrow said he hopes the BC Ombudsperson recognizes his official complaint for what it is: a request that the board follow its own bylaws.

Another leaseholder Rick Williamson has sub-mitted two complaints so far this year. One on Aug. 20 to the BC Ombudsperson office stating the board has violated its own bylaws by cancelling question period. Then another on Oct. 6 about the fact that the board made the decision in-camera, calling it an abuse of the in-camera meeting pro-visions.

The issue of public feedback to the Park Board has come up in the past.

The 2011-12 annual report issued in May 2012 from the BC Ombudsperson states that they received complaints about the process followed by the Cultus Lake Park Board in deciding to increase seasonal camping fees at Sunnyside campground.

The people who contacted us were concerned they were not adequately consulted and did not have a meaningful opportunity to express their interests and concerns before the Board decided to increase camp fees.

Crash victim expected to recoverRobert FreemanThe Progress

An elderly female driver seri-ously injured in a three-vehicle crash last Thursday on Chilliwack Central Road is expected to make a full recovery, Chilliwack RCMP say.

Everyone was very lucky to survive this one, RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said Tuesday.

This was a really serious acci-dent that had traffic diverted for the duration of the investigation,

she said.Chilliwack Central Road was

closed for several hours while RCMP accident investigators stud-ied the crash site between Gibson Road and Upper Prairie Road.

The Integrated Collision Reconstruction Services has con-duct of the investigation, and fur-ther details of what happened were not available Tuesday.

But according to an initial report, a Mazda 3 heading east on Chilliwack Central was about

to turn left when it was hit from behind by a Honda Civic, pushing it into the westbound lane. But it was the Honda Civic that was then struck by a westbound pickup truck.

The driver of the Honda Civic, an elderly woman from Chilliwack, was airlifted to the Royal Columbian Hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.

The elderly female driver is still in hospital, but is expected to make a full recovery, Wolbeck said.

presidents asking Cummins to resign.

We want you to know we are not leav-ing, they wrote. But we ask, for the sake of the party, that you do.

Theyre also holding Cummins responsible for the exorcising and excommunicating of dissident Tories who they said have appar-ently been deemed enemies by party officials.

John Martin, the for-mer Conservative can-didate in Chilliwack-Hope, defected to the Liberals last month and the partys lone MLA former BC Liberal John van Dongen quit the Tories after the AGM vote.

This division has cost us our only sitting MLA and the possibili-ty of having others who were ready to cross, the Patton-Eckhardt letter says. These missed opportunities cannot be undone.

Party president Al Siebring said the lead-ership issue was set-tled last month and the party will run under Cummins in the 2013 election.

I simply will not allow our party to be distracted by a handful

of dissidents who will not abide by the major-itys decision, and per-

sonally will take all appropriate measures after noon Wednesday

to ensure that we are united behind our lead-er.

VICTORIA My column on skills training a couple of weeks ago gave short shrift to the NDP position: tax the banks and hand out grants for womens studies, sociology and other worthless pursuits, while skilled jobs go begging.

Thats a pretty crude carica-ture, so I sat down with NDP leader Adrian Dix in his legis-lature office last week to get a better sense of his thinking on the subject.

Dix has been devoting a lot of time lately to skills training, in trades particularly. He meets frequently with business people now, and his recent speeches emphasize that every one of them talks about the growing shortage of skilled employees.

Dix credits Premier Christy Clark and jobs minister Pat Bell with making some good moves recently, announcing equipment

upgrades for vocational pro-grams around the province. He says its because the NDP have been pounding away at them

for eight months about freezing advanced educa-tion spending in their March bud-get. Dix calls that a crucial mistake and predicts the government will reverse it soon.

So I think, if were going to have a mission for

four years as a government, if were elected, this is the mis-sion: to start to address the skills shortage, hetold me.

In his speech to the recent municipal convention, and again at an NDP provincial council meeting, Dix zeroed in on B.C.s apprenticeship system. Since

the B.C. Liberals took it from trade unions and set up a Crown corporation called the Industry Training Authority in 2004, the completion rate for apprentices has fallen to 37 per cent, he said.

Dix assured me he isnt pro-posing to blow up the ITA, or hand control back to unions. They will have a voice, along with business.

Speaking to the NDP exec-utive, Dix referred to Phil Hochstein, president of the non-union Independent Contractors and Businesses Association, as the symbol of trades train-ing decline. Not surprisingly, Hochstein has a different take.

The 37 per cent figure is mis-leading,Hochstein said,because under the ITA there are cur-rently 32,000 apprentices in the system, twice as many as when it was union controlled.Many drop out in the first year, and Alberta

claims a better completion rate because they dont start count-ing until the second year. And when Dix touts Albertas man-datory trade system, Hochstein said he means returning to a system where all work is restrict-ed to journeymen or registered apprentices of that trade.

What it does is impose union jurisdiction on the training sys-tem of the entire construction industry, Hochstein said. So multi-skilling, multi-tasking, organizing the work in the most efficient way is blown out of the water, and its stuck in the old craft system of training.

The marketplace has spoken on that restrictive system, he said, and unionized construction is down to about five per cent of the market, based on payroll.

Hochstein said the NDP talks a great game about getting more young people into trades. But

when unions have the upper hand, they will always favour seniority. A quota of two appren-tices per journeyman means another one cant be hired.

Dix agreed with me that the public school system has over-emphasized university, to the detriment of not just industrial trades but lab techs, chefs and other skilled workers that are in short supply.As B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair recently noted, tradesmen them-selves often dont encourage their kids, because theyve been told all their lives that they are tool monkeys in a dead-end job.

And would NDP student grants be targeted to need? Dixs answer was a definite maybe.

Skills training our mission, Dix declaresB.C. VIEWS

Food for thoughtLike a nasty computer virus, the XL Foods meat recall is casting a

wider net and creating more problems as each day dawns.From the initial recall of beef processed by the Alberta plant between

Aug. 24 and Sept. 5, the beef recall has now extended to thousands of stores. Hundreds of products from ground beef to prepared kebabs are on the do-not-eat (or cook-til-charred) list, even though more than a month has passed since problems were first detected.

As many as 10 E. coli cases in Alberta, Quebec and Newfoundland were linked to beef products from the XL Foods plant, where E. coli was initially detected on Sept. 4, and now a B.C. man has been identified as recovering from the illness caused by eating beef processed at XL Foods. This makes the XL Foods beef recall a national issue requiring a thorough investigation if confidence in the Canadian food system is to be restored.

While not deadly as the Walkerton tragedy, in which seven people died from drinking E. coli-contaminated water, many questions remain about who knew what and when and what was done about it. The laxity of procedures at the plant and the length of time it took to identify the meat products affected could have put peoples lives in jeopardy.

Initial stock-taking suggests some rigorous analysis of checks and re-checks of food processing systems at XL Foods is required. Other meat processing plants should be subject to review as well. This isnt unneces-sary red-tape and regulation; rather, its important for the industry to be able to guarantee that beef processed at plants is safe to eat.

But questions also remain about the three-day lag between the time that Canadian Food Inspection Agency knew of problems of meat import-ed to the U.S. and when it began alerting the Canadian public. Could more have been done sooner? Lets hope we find out.

While the ever-expanding recall seems a bit like closing the door after the cow has left the barn, this could be an opportunity to shovel out the manure and start over with a fresh bed of hay.

I find it difficult to comprehend the open vote on the legalization of cannabis at the UBCM meet-ings in Victoria on Wednesday September 26th. There are too many flaws in this idea to legalize this substance that it would take many pages of your newspaper to list them all. I was directly involved in the ministry of deal-ing with addictions for many years and there are issues of how marijuana affects the chemical make-up of the body. You never here about these issues because the left wing media doesnt want this information out in the pub-lic. When God created humans, we represent his most the most complex living being of all His creation. There is a delicate bal-ance in our created bodies that should not be tampered with. He created our bodies as a temple and as such we should not pollute this temple. Did you know that when a person smokes marijuana or ingests it there is a substance that coats the very tiny brain cells and this substance never leaves the body and as it builds up over years of use there is a significant deterioration in the capacity of

the brain cells to function normal-ly. There are a variety of effects on different people but suffice it to say there are a lot of mentally ill people in our society today that would not be in that state if they didnt use marijuana. I have counseled young people who were straight-A students in high school and get off on the wrong track at university or college and get into using marijuana and the result in some cases is devastat-ing. In some cases the personal-ity is completely changed and they flunk out of school and their lives take a pathway of destruc-tion that we see every day on our streets in addicted people. I know of two cases that the young men committed suicide because of what the altering chemicals in marijuana did to their brains.

I also want to address the issue of greed on this subject. I heard a stupid woman who is an elected official somewhere in this prov-ince say that it would be a good tax resource for municipalities if marijuana was legalized. What a joke!

If they only understood the devastating affect that the use of

this drug and others like alcohol have on the health care system of our province they would maybe re-think that idea. But we have a situation here where the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Our elected officials are so hungry for tax dollars that they cant see the forest for the trees, shame on them.

We should be more careful as to how we handle these issues and we can look back at his-tory and learn some lessons but human kind seems to ignore les-sons learned.

So here we are on a slippery slope of our society getting on board with the world as Noah new it and as it was in the days of Soddom and Gomorrah. We have opportunity to live our lives in a clean and natural way as God has created us but we seem to ignore the results of lessons of history.

Hopefully some of our leaders in our land will understand this slippery slope is one that they cannot justify and will only pay dearly for on our day of judg-ment.

News

Jeff NagelBlack Press

A Vancouver Island man is B.C.s first confirmed case of the E. coli strain that has spread through con-taminated beef processed by the shut-tered XL Foods plant in Alberta.

The B.C. Centre For Disease Control said it is continuing to inves-tigate to determine the exact source of the infection after receiving lab confirmation of the case.

The man has since recovered from the illness and is one of more than 10 Canadians who have become sick in the wake of the biggest beef recall in the countrys history.

B.C. routinely detects 110 to 180 cases of the 0157:H7 strain of E. coli each year and BCCDC officials said there has been no detected increase in those numbers in recent months.

Officials urge consumers to dis-card any beef products in their home that are on the Canadian Food Inspection Agencys latest expanded list of recalled products that originat-ed through XL Foods but were sold by virtually every major B.C. grocer under many other brand names.

For details on the more than 1,500 recalled products, including identify-ing UPC codes and best-before dates, see: http://inspection.gc.ca/recalls_XLFoods.

B.C. man recovers from E. coli linked to XL Foods beef

The foliage colour of our garden ornamen-tals should be simply outstanding every fall. While many gardens will be ablaze with a foliage bonanza, many others are missing this important seasonal event. It is so easy to choose flowering and ornamental trees that bloom in the spring, but with a little care you can, at the same time, select trees that provide a beautiful fall display as well.

Dogwoods are a prime example. Florida dogwoods, native to the eastern United States, provide outstanding fall colour. As a rule of thumb, they are shorter and bushier than our natives, making them ideal for screening. The most brilliant fall dog-wood of all is a native cross called Eddies White Wonder. At this time of year, the leaves all turn a dramatic red and hold that colour for a long time. Red is one of the colours missing in fall on the West Coast.

The many varieties of Kousa or Chinese dogwoods extend the blooming period in the spring because they bloom in June and July, when other varieties have finished. They also tolerate quite a bit of shade, which may be of interest for those of you living in heav-ily treed areas. Their fall leaves are a bril-liant, vibrant red with huge edible seed pods hanging like giant rasp-berries throughout the tree. It is such an inter-esting plant to have in the garden, and I truly hope that more folks use them. There are many new varieties, some with stunning var-iegated foliage that also turns amazing colours.

Japanese maples cer-tainly lead the pack in the outstanding colour department. The only problem these days is making a choice between the many fine varieties. One of the finest, Acer griseum, often called the Paper Bark maple because of its arbutus-like peeling red bark, has brilliant red foliage. The Coral Bark maple Sango Kaku is considered to be one of the most out-standing of all maples. The autumn colour range of red maples is everything from deep burgundy to the most vibrant fire engine red, but dont overlook the green-leafed varieties, like Osakazuki, that also offer an incredible range of fall colours.

Another unique tree that has not been read-ily available until the past few years is the Persian Parrotia. It is a small and rather slow-growing shrub that pro-vides a beautiful display

of dense-h e a d e d f lowers with red stamens s u r -rounded by wool-ly brown b r a c t s b e f o r e t h e l e a v e s

open. In fall, the filbert-type leaves turn brilliant scarlet to orange. When the leaves disappear, an interesting smooth grey winter bark, that flakes to show intriguing white

patches, is revealed.One of the most fas-

cinating fall trees is the Japanese stewartia. It is a summer bloomer that often carries right on into the fall. The flowers are truly distinc-tive, starting off as little round white balls that burst open like a camel-lia, revealing bright yel-low anthers. Thats why it is often referred to as a pseudo-camellia. Those white flowers, combined with foliage that first turns scarlet, then bronze and finally purple, make this tree a wonderful fall speci-men.

If youre looking for a colourful tree that is quite resistant to pests, how about the Katsura
