The numbers say our city is getting safer every year
For many, the present is always more dangerous than the past and society is always going to hell. But as the Chilliwack Times' crime reporter, I'm here to tell you that isn't the case. Property crime is down, and Chilliwack hasn't been the site of a confirmed murder for more than two years (although the disappearance of at least one local person- Kelly Rideout-has been passed along to homicide investigators).
The cult of the natural persons
Way back in the dawn of the internet, say around 1998 or so, I inherited a work email address that got a lot of odd junk mail. The previous user had apparently signed up for every crank and nutcase mailing list he could find. I never unsubscribed, because I, too, like free comedy.

'Natural' tax cheat granted release
Russell Porisky had defended himself throughout a tax-evasion case that ended with him being sentenced to four-and-a-half years in jail earlier this year. But he will soon be free on bail after a newly hired defence lawyer discovered "points of real substance" that a Court of Appeal panel of justices found could alter his upcoming appeal to his conviction.
Supreme Court denies tax cheat's bid for freedom
A Chilliwack man sent to prison for evading taxes and counselling others to do the same will have to stay in prison while he appeals his conviction and four-and-a-half year jail sentence.
Correction
The sub-headline in the Jan. 26 edition of the Times incorrectly stated that Russell Porisky and Elaine Gould failed to pay more than $1 million in taxes. In fact, the pair was convicted of failing to pay the tax on more than $1 million of income. The tax amounted to $225,222.
'Natural person' defence doesn't work with justice
A Chilliwack businessman who advised students that payment of tax is tantamount to slavery, but is also voluntary, was convicted last week on a slew of tax evasion charges.
