HOCKEY DAY

Bubl pulls out

Canadian superstar Michael Bubl has pulled out ofhis appearance at the Richmond Oval this weekend.

Bubl was due to appear at the oval as part of theRichmond Celebrates Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canadaevent on Saturday.

He was scheduled to participate in a celebrity ballhockey game. However, due to other commitments, hehas had to withdraw.

Unfortunately, I am unable to attend Hockey Day inCanada next Saturday, he said.

A personal obligation came up that I had forgottenabout and I have to go out of the country.

Im truly sorrythat I cant attend. Iwas very much look-ing forward to it, as mytime playing ball hockey competitively brings back fondmemories. I wish all the players luck and I hope the eventis a great success for everyone.

Despite the loss of Bubl, a stellar line-up ofVancouver Canuck legends will still be in attendance,including original Canuck captain Orland Kurtenbach,sniper Tony Tanti, all-star defenceman Dave Babych,tough guy Jack McIlhargey and all-time fan favouriteTrevor Linden.

They will be there to meet fans and faceoff for a fungame of celebrity ball hockey.

Its just one part of the activities on Feb. 11, withRichmond being chosen as the regional host for the freenationwide event.

The average homeowner in Richmondis set to pay $54 more in property taxesthis year.

City councils finance committeeapproved Monday a 2.98 per cent prop-erty tax hike to maintain current servicelevels.

Much of the increase is being pen-

ciled in to cover salary rises, accordingto a report presented to councillors.

In terms of how it affects the peoplewho pay property tax: if your homewas assessed at $697,274, you will pay$54.39 more this year.

However, as the citys budgets andaccounting manager, Nashater Sanghera,said in the operating budget report, therise in tax will very much depend onwhether the assessment on a property is

higher or lower than the average.In 2012, residential properties in

the City of Richmond increased in valueby approximately 17 per cent, wroteSanghera.

If an assessment increase was higherthan average, the property tax increasewill be higher than the approved taxincrease.

Cooking up among cars, counsellorsTouchstone launches Eat Together fundraising campaign

Nearly 100 people came out toRichmonds Auto West BMW showroom tohear about Touchstone Family Associationslaunch of its second annual Eating Togethercampaign, which promotes and encouragesfamilies to eat together, running Feb. 19-26.

Research has shown repeatedly thatfamilies who eat together, stay together, saidKelina Kwan, director of Touchstone FamilyAssociation.

Through the simple act of eating togetherregularly, a family can bond and connectmore effectively, communicate more freely,and have fewer problems, said Kwan, add-ing Touchstone serves 400 Richmond fami-lies each year.

Last years Eating Together was so suc-cessful in raising our profile about what wedo to help families here in our communitythat we brought it back again this year.

Kwan went on to say that the EatingTogether campaign has two goals: raiseawareness of the importance of eating togeth-er and raise funds for Touchstones FrontPorch project.

The project also provides families withcounseling services.

Many families are very reluctant to gothrough the public channel to seek help,especially immigrant families, she said.They are worried that their problems will beout in the open, or that children will be takenaway from parents.

The Front Porch project provides familieswho need help a direct line to counseling in anumber of languages.

At the moment, there is a waiting listbecause Touchstone can only afford 15 hoursof counseling per week, Kwan said. Theproject needs $100,000 per year to run full-time.

Former television news anchor PamelaMartin, Premier Christy Clarks director

of outreach, took to the podium and spokeabout the importance of families in commu-nities.

The long-awaited new noisebylaw in Richmond edged closerto completion this week.

Since it was first proposedin the spring of last year, Cityof Richmond staff have beenconsulting the public, businesscommunity and industry expertson the merits and pitfalls of thenew rules.

One of the main amendmentsresulting from the consultationwill be the ability of city councilto create specific sound zones,to be employed in situationswhere the prescribed quiet,intermediate and activityzones are not appropriate.

Should the amendment beapproved later this month, citycouncil will be able to look atsituations on a case-by-case basisif, for example, its faced with aresidential rezoning applicationwhich would clash with an inter-mediate or activity sound zone.

Staff will work to determinea process by which such site

specific sound zones may be tai-lored and recommended by staffto council, the citys communitybylaws manager, Wayne Mercer,wrote in his report to council.

As it stands, staff antici-pate that such a process wouldinclude:! A prescribed fee to coveradministration costs;

! An application that includesspecific proposed variations tosound limits;! A detailed application explain-ing the background and rationalesupported by a professionalacoustic report;! Steps taken by the applicant tomitigate sound levels and adhereto the bylaw; and! A public consultation process.

There was, however, consider-able amount of negative feedbackfrom the business communityregarding the more restrictivedaytime hours in the proposedbylaw, versus those in the exist-ing bylaw.

The daytime hours on week-ends and holidays in the pro-posed bylaw begin at 10 a.m.,rather than 7 a.m. in the existingbylaw.

This amendment was madeto be consistent with the regula-tions in Vancouver and Victoria,

Staff hope sound zoneswill quiet political racket

was lower than the average increase, thenthe property tax increase will be lower thanthe approved tax increase given, and in somecases may be less than the previous years...

The proposed increase of 2.98 per cent islower than the 3.1 that was forecast last year.

The 2012 operating budget contains anincrease of $2.7 million in net expendituresand a one per cent levy for infrastructurereplacement. The budget has still to beapproved by council.

Capital budgetThe City of Richmond is set to spend

$72.6 million on capital projects this year.A total of 95 projects were recommended

to be included in the capital budget for2012.

Another 25 project submissions, totaling$9 million, were not included in the budget,due to funding limits.

Of the $72.6 million, $33 million will gotoward infrastructure projects, such as:! Improvement to traffic capacity and safetywith enhancement and widening of Nelsonand No. 6 roads and Westminster Highway;! Extensive water main replacement worksthroughout the city to provide better waterand continued water meter installation;! Sanitary sewer upgrades in Terra Nova,Bridgeport areas.

wrote Mercer.Businesses suggested

that (the change) is overlypunitive to the businessowner/tenant, despite theirbest efforts to mitigate noisecreated by their customers.

Mercer did point out inhis report that the clause inquestion would only be inplay when an objective mea-surement cannot be madeand its expected that pro-

gressive enforcement wouldnormally begin with a warn-ing anyway.

Other conclusions result-ing from the public participa-tion program include:! The establishment andrefinement of the quiet,intermediate and activityzones to replace the twozones in the current bylawhas provided a more effectiveand representative mappingof the various property usesin the city and their interac-tion;! The shift to a more objec-tive and expanded measure-

ment of the various permittednoise levels, including dBAand dBC levels and usingup-to-date technology, hasprovided a more predictableand reliable regime for per-sonal and business residentsto coexist as well as for thoseresponsible for the enforce-ment of the bylaw.

Richmonds recentgrowth and densificationof neighbourhoods, alongwith technological advance-ments in noise measurementsince the implementationof the citys Public HealthProtection Bylaw 6989 in

2000, prompted the city toreview its bylaw.

The proposed updatedbylaw was also brought tothe fore because of a spikeover the last two years inthe number of serious noisecomplaints, directly relatedto the increased urbanizationand growth of the city.

City council approvedthe spending of $100,000last spring on developing thenew bylaw. More is expectedto be spent on implement-ing and enforcing it whenit comes into practice asexpected later this year.

Martin.It was easier years ago. As a news anchor, I was gone

during dinnertime so with my children we had to find creativeways to eat together.

We in government are working hard to put familiesfirst in B.C. We are committed to preserving and enhancingfamilies and eating together is a great way to keep familiestogether.

After Martin spoke, guests watched Tim Vu, executive chefat the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel, demonstrate how tocreate a healthy and easy-to-make appetizer of ahi tuna. Then,guests were invited to nibble on a number of different horsdouvres.

During the Eating Together campaign, cooking classes willbe offered by a number of local chefs who are donating theirtime to conduct the classes.

We believe that, in addition to time, many families do notregularly eat together because they found cooking time con-suming, difficult, or both, said Kwan.

The cooking classes are a start to show families thatcooking for your family doesnt have to be costly, time con-suming or difficult. The cooking classes are $15 per person,and all proceeds go towards The Front Porch project.

Meanwhile, local community centres have also workedtogether to provide Eating Together meals for the community.These gatherings are either free, or cost very little to join(West Richmond $3, Cambie $2 and Steveston $8).

Responses are very good for these community centreactivities, at last check, one of these community meals arefull, added Kwan.

Eating Together runs from Sunday, Feb. 19 to 26. There aremany cooking classes, community centre meals and activitiessuch as the youth-driven Flash Mob dances. For more infor-mation and a list of activities, visit www.eatingtogether.ca.

If you give your kids a weekly allowance,dont withdraw payment to punish them forbad behaviour or poor performance.

If you give them five bucks or so, hand itover on a Sunday night, not on a Friday rightafter school when everyone is pumped for theweekend. And, whatever you do, dont attachchores to their allowance.

As eyebrow arching as it sounds, thoseare words of wisdom from the mouth ofRichmond financial planner and author PaulLermitte.

Lermitte, a father of three grown sons,recognizes his advice may fly directly in theface of how many parents were brought upthemselves and how they now introduce theirchildren to money.

But his new book, Allowances, Dollars &Sense, is based on tried and trusted methodshe perfected over 20 or so years of bringingup his own children.

This is about changing the way weteach our kids about money, said 52-year-old Lermitte, who lives in south Richmond.Today, it requires a little change here andthere. What is needed is less conflict.

Lermitte openly admits hes a numbersguy, but adds that hes also a normal par-ent, faced by the same trials, tribulations andtemptations as the rest.

I wanted to teach my sons to be astute

financial planners, he saidof his initial motivation toshare his methods.

My eldest son was sixat the time and was justgoing into Kindergartenwhen we started doingthis. At that age, they aregoing into a structuredworld for the first time,really, so I thought it was agood time to start teachinghim about money.

Lermitte, however, saidhe only knew how to helpadults with their finances,not kids.

I started doing my own research aboutallowances and finding out from people Iknew what their experiences were.

Not linking your childs allowance to workor performance is probably the hardest pillfor parents to swallow in the book. Instead,Lermitte attests the child should get an allow-ance as being part of the family and choresshould be carried out anyway.

And if schoolwork or behaviour is anissue, the allowance should still be free ofany punishment or reward, he says, add-ing there are many different ways to punishor reward your child other than using theirallowance.

Allowance is a tool. Its a tool to teachyour children to become great money manag-ers for a lifetime. If theyre going to make

mistakes financially, letthem make them whentheyre young.

And not giving themtheir five bucks untilSunday night come on,are you serious?

I used to give themtheir allowance on aFriday, just like everyoneelse, Lermitte said.

But, boom, it wasblown over the weekend.

Lermitte said the kidsget used to having themoney all through the

week and are then not as inclined to dive inand spend it.

To achieve the best results, give coinsrather than notes, he advised.

Its a physical thing, the feel, the touch,the sight of a shiny coin. The whole sense ofhaving money and learning how to handle itis what were aiming for.

I know people that place $10 every week

electronically into their kids accounts. Butthe kids never get to see the money and dontappreciate where it comes from.

Its not all a free-for-all, however, andthere is some parental input into how themoney is used. He recommends advisingyour kids to consider saving half their allow-ance for a rainy day or for vacation spendingmoney. That way, they can save a little and dowhatever they want with the rest.

Lermittes book also contains many work-sheets and planners for parents to employ.Although theyre not for everyone, he admits.

You take what you think will work foryou and go with it.

Most of all, the book is about giving upsome or most of the control of your kidsfinances and letting them make their ownmistakes early in life. The theory, Lermittesays, is the kids will learn from their mistakesand become financially aware as teenagersand adults.

Allowances, Dollars & Sense is availableon Amazon, as an ebook and at www.pauller-mitte.com.

Set your kids finances free, says financial planner dadALLOWANCE

A local bioenergy company has beenawarded $1.5 million to build an energygarden that uses kitchen scraps to help lighthomes.

Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre, aHarvest Power Inc. company, will divert27,000 metric tons of organic materials fromB.C. landfills.

The grant/loan follows a $4 milllion fed-eral grant announced in 2010.

The recent funding, supplied by the non-profit, provincially-funded BC Bioenergy

Network (BCBN), will be put toward twoproject components the first of whichis a $1 million loan toward the commercialdemonstration of a High Solids AnaerobicDigestion (HSAD) plant that will convertfood scraps and yard trimmings to electric-ity.

The second project component is acquir-ing a pilot scale, mobile HSAD unit, whichBCBN provided a $500,000 grant toward.It will be initially tested in Richmond, andlater toured throughout North America.

Company fueled by new contract

In celebration of the 50th anniversaryof the Royal Bank of Canadas No. 3 andWilliams Branch, the RBC Foundation ismaking a $25,000 donation to RichmondHospital.

The donation helps fund the purchase ofan urgently needed Mini Laparoscopy set,particularly useful for small patients or chil-dren. For example, while similar standardequipment is 5mm or 10mm, the mini-lapa-roscopy sets are 3mm, allowing for a muchsmaller incision for smaller people.

Richmond Hospital Foundation is current-ly raising funds to equip the operating rooms

for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS), sothat more patients can benefit from thismethod of surgery. MIS equipment enablessurgeons to perform surgeries with fewercomplications and faster healing times.

We believe in the power of communi-ties and the individuals who live in them,said Virginia Huang, branch manger at RBC.The health of local communities is of vitalimportance to RBC, and thats why we havedecided to support the Richmond HospitalFoundation and make a positive socialimpact in the communities we serve andwhere our employees live.

RBC donates big for small patients

EDITORIAL OPINION

This week, statisticians who continue to offer us neededglimpses of reality issued a warning cry over B.C.s growingincome inequality.

The gap between the rich and poor is getting wider, accordingto a report by BC Stats.

Canada where the average income of the top 10 per centis 10 times higher than the bottom 10 per cent is doing worsethan many developed nations, particularly in Europe.

B.C. has the distinction of the largest gap between the top 20per cent and the bottom 20 per cent of income earners and thesecond-to-largest after-tax gap.

But Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said he doesnt see that asa problem, pointing to the example of Cuba where, theres noincome inequality, because theyre all poor.

With his sound bite, Falcon sidestepped the point that insocial democracies, we have tax and social welfare systems spe-cifically designed to narrow that gap, should the political will bepresent. But in recent decades, we havent had that will and haveallowed those systems to erode.

This disparity is deeply disturbing and does not herald goodthings for a stable society. History shows the fate of the rich isbound up with the fate of the poor, however much those at thetop would like to pretend otherwise.

Its time for our leaders to start paying attention.

B.C. Liberals only have time on their side

Attend to income chasm

The B.C. governmentis receiving a lot of kudosover its decision last weekto aggressively push forliquefied natural gas plantsand to wean BC Hydro offprivate power producers.

The news coverage ofthe energy announcementswas widespread and gener-ally positive.

But for all the plauditsshes receiving for mov-ing away from yet anotherholdover policy from theGordon Campbell era, Idoubt it will translate intoany boost in support.

Thats because the gov-ernment is in such deeptrouble with the public thatone has to wonder whetherits reached the point of noreturn.

There comes a point inany governments existencewhere nothing it does cansave it from demise the nexttime it faces the electorate.

The Liberals have to bewondering whether theyvereached that point. Ive longheld that after roughly 10years in power, a stench ofsorts begins to envelope agovernment and it can bevery hard to get rid of it.

The latest Angus Reidpoll shows the steep uphillstruggle facing the Liberals.The poll gives the NDP awhopping 14 point lead (42per cent to 28 per cent) overthe Liberals.

But two other numbersare equally as alarming forthe ruling party. The upstartConservatives supportis pegged at 19 per cent,which is roughly where itwas three months ago.

That means the

Conservatives are not aflash-in-the-pan party. Itssupport appears to be solidi-fying, which is disastrousnews for the Liberals.

The other number is the22 per cent Clark polledwhen respondents wereasked who would make thebest premier. Thats a bitbehind NDP leader AdrianDixs level of 26 per cent.

In the last three months,voters positive impressionsof Dix have improved byseven points, while positiveimpressions of Clark havedropped three points.

Thus, the one argu-ment Clark could use whendefending her performanceagainst critics within herparty that she was morepopular than the Liberalparty itself seems to bedisappearing.

Also troubling for theLiberals is that they are los-ing ground on credibility inrunning the economy andfighting crime, two issuesthat should be their breadand butter.

Finally, the poll showsjust 60 per cent of thosewho voted for the Liberalsin the last election would doso today. More than a quar-ter of those former Liberalvoters now say they wouldvote for the Conservatives.

The poll really held no

good news for the rulingparty, but the one thing ithas going for it is time.There is a lot of time beforethe next election, unlessClark pulls the plug early.

And certainly, thereis enough time for somesurprises to occur. PerhapsClark can find an issue(maybe taking on publicsector unions, for example)that is a turning point forvoters.

Perhaps the NDP andDix will take a serious mis-step and lose the publicstrust. And perhaps theConservatives and theirleader John Cummins willdecline as voters take acloser look at their policies.

But time also allows forother potential events tooccur. What if a few LiberalMLAs, whose ridings arepart of those old federal rid-ings where the now-defunctReform Party used to put uphuge victories, start to lookat their backyards and real-ize the only way they canget re-elected is to join theConservatives? Will a fewcross the floor and bolt thegovernment benches?

And what if whispersabout yet another leader-ship change for the Liberalsbecome louder if the pollnumbers dont substantiallyimprove?

Those are the kinds ofscenarios that now mustmake Clark and her cabinetcolleagues very nervous.

As Betty Davis wouldsay, Buckle up! Its goingto be a bumpy year!

The Editor,Re: Gateways new director plans to target Richmonds

Asian connection, News, Feb. 3.I greatly enjoyed the chance to speak with the News last

week.As I read the interview, what came through clearly was

my excitement about joining Gateway and continuing to workwith Richmonds Asian community.

Other comments didnt appear that I think are important,particularly those about my anticipation in meeting Gatewayscurrent subscribers and patrons; those people who have suchinterest and energy invested in their theatre.

Its my intention that Gateway continue to be a gatheringplace that invites and welcomes all, and excludes no-one.Its important for everyone to hear my promise to respect thethings about Gateway that they love. As a curator, Im excitedto program Gateways two distinct spaces one for showswith broader appeal and one to foster innovation; as a drama-turg, I am keen on working with writers in SceneFirst; and asa teacher, Im delighted Gateway has an Academy.

My entire theatre career has been dedicated to reachingacross diverse communities, building partnerships and forgingrelationships. Diversity means more to me than just culturaldiversity; it means diversity of discipline, of geography, andof theatrical style. I hope that my diverse experiences can helpyou discover new things to love at the amazing Gateway.

The Editor,Re: Sign language

reflects business,Community, Jan. 27.

The local media and afew fellow Richmonditesare attempting to stir upthe debate on Chinese-onlysigns again.

Some are accusingcouncil of having its col-lective head in the sand,doing nothing to ease theongoing debate.

The truth is there arehardly any Chinese busi-nesses that have Chinese-only signs. Except for afew very small businesses,all have are bilingual signs.If you need proof, check itout for yourself, I have.

There may be an issuethat the Chinese wordsare much larger than theEnglish words. But, howlarge is too large, and howsmall is too small?

Are we going to followthe lead of Quebec to mea-sure the proportion of thesize of the relative signs?

City council did notavoid this issue, Chinese-only signage is not anissue. It is only an issueto those who are buildinga mountain out of a molehill.

There are just too fewChinese-only signs in ourcity. What business wouldturn away 50 per cent oftheir potential customers inRichmond?

I, therefore, offer achallenge to all the critics,

including the media, todo an independent surveyand check out how manyChinese-only signs exist.

The underlying problemis the issue of long-timeresidents having difficultyadjusting to the changingdemographics of our cityand to a culture alien tothem and different fromtheir own perception ofCanadian culture.

Perhaps the changesare happening too fast andthey are trying to cling onto a culture they have beenaccustomed to for the lastfew generations.

Canadian culture ormainstream culture is onlya reflection of the compo-sition of its population.

It is dynamic and itis evolving. Speaking asa Canadian of Chineseancestry, I am a Canadianfirst, a very proudCanadian, and I willdefend Canada with mylife.

At the same time, I amalso proud of the culturethat I bring to this land.Together with other vis-ible minorities, we areenriching and contributingtowards the evolution ofthe Canadian culture.

Richmondites, letus make room for oneanother, enjoy each othersdifferences and build aharmonious city together.

The Editor,Re: Film questions

where those pink dollars go,Entertainment, Feb. 1.

As a breast cancer survi-vor, and an avid volunteer ofthe Canadian Breast CancerFoundation, I watched withinterest the premiere of PinkRibbons, Inc. at the TorontoInternational Film Festival.

The film, which speaksto the need for inclusivityof perspectives and attitudesabout the cause, misses outon the voice of the thou-sands of people who proudlyraise funds for breast cancerresearch and awareness.

All while questioning themotives of the corporationsand foundations, the film-makers never sought to ques-tion the motivations of themembers of the breast cancercommunity that participatein the runs and walks, or toexplore the value they derivefrom that very community.

Also, there has beenprogress in the field themortality rate in Canada hasdecreased by 35 per centsince 1986. The researchfeatured in the film byDrs. Brophy and Keith wasfunded in part through the

foundation.The vast majority of the

films statistics were notCanadian. For Canadian sta-tistics, visit the foundationswebsite at www.cbcf.org.

The film raises a validpoint when it talks about theuse of the pink ribbon onproducts and what percentof proceeds actually go toresearch. There is alwaysroom for improvement, andId like to see corporatepartners be more transparentabout exactly how much theyare giving and who they aregiving it to.

My mother and I battledbreast cancer at the sametime in 1992. I survived. Iwas inspired to get involvedwith the foundation. Whenbreast cancer knocked on mydoor again in 2008, I knewprogress had been madesince my initial diagnosis.

The Editor,Re: Airport improvement

fee takes off, News, Jan. 27.A tax is a tax by any

other name regardless of thenomenclature trying to dis-guise it.

My letter of many yearsago to you on the initialintroduction of the departuretax is still valid.

The airport administrationis answerable to NO one, andwhat is to stop the tax being

increased to say $100?The money required for

expansion should be bor-rowed on capital markets andrepaid with interest the sameas every other company andorganization is obliged to do.

Is there any wonder thatso many passengers preferto fly from Bellingham andSeattle?

Community

Some months ago, while riding my bike, I was surprisedby a very small dog with a very loud bark. Amazingly, I shud-dered and felt my hair rising. I say amazingly because I knewperfectly well that I was not about to be bitten I knew thedog was simply going through the motions of an instinctivereaction.

But I, too, was reacting instinctively. What I was experi-encing the sensation of my hair standing on end was a

reflex inherited from my primordial ancestors.For a split second, I felt like Id been suckedinto a time warp and hurtled back millions ofyears.

As everyone knows, most mammals arecovered by hair or fur. When a mammal isabout to attack, or be attacked, its hairs rise (ifit is a porcupine, its quills stand erect).

The purpose of this reflex is to make themammal appear larger and more intimidatingto its opponent. Its hairs also rise when the temperature drops,to trap the warmth and provide insulation.

Dogs, cats, elephants, mice, apes, humans, etcetera etcet-era, are all mammals. Thats why we humans get what arecommonly called goose bumps when we sense cold or astrong emotion, like shock or fear. Goose bumps are causedby a sudden contraction of the muscles under our skin, pull-ing the hair follicles into a vertical position.

The proper word to describe this condition is horripilation.Horrible, horrid, horror, horrify are all related to horripila-tion their source is the Latin verb, horrere, signifying tobristle or to shudder. In the word, horripilation, the referenceis specifically to hair (pilus in Latin) bristling or standing.

One morning in early January, I went outside and found amysterious rivulet making its way across the floor of the car-port. Kneeling down to peer under the car, I saw that the littlestream began on the drivers side. I pushed a container into

position to collect some of the liquid. Its bluecolour and non-viscuous quality indicated itwas the windshield wiper fluid.

Five days later, I found a puddle of reddishoil beneath the car. This time the liquid wasleaking from the other side of the engine. Itcontinued to seep for two days and two nights.

A friend to whom I told my story sug-gested I look under the cars hood. He alsowarned me of what I might find.

Having worked the release mechanisms, a procedureneither swift nor noiseless, I raised the hood and foundmyself face to face with a very large rat. Id been forewarnedand my blood was boiling, which is, I suppose, why I sensedno horripilation when confronted by the villain of this crime.

But I dont think the villains hairs stood on end either.After giving me an impudent look, the rat turned around andslunk off. I monitored the situation all evening and heardit stir in the nether regions of the engine. Bright lights andstrong words didnt faze it.

In my opinion, the rat-human relationship has become toofamiliar here. Rats practically thumb their noses at us. Im forfinding the means to instill fear into them, to let them experi-ence some good, primeval horripilation. All in favour say,Aye!
