‘Unsustainable’ finances Braun calls for city hall core services review

Kevin MILLS

Abbotsford News

Abbotsford is on an “unsustainable” financial path, says the city’s newest councillor. Henry Braun said he and other council members have been pushing for some serious belt-tightening, and while staff has proposed a tax hike as low as 1.52 per cent, it isn’t enough. “In the economic times we’re in we cannot afford to do things the way we did before. Private business figured this out three years ago; they’re way ahead of

us on this,” Braun told The News on Tuesday. He appreciates staff ’s efforts in trimming the proposed 2012 budget, but pointed out that most of the savings are garnered by deferring projects, rather than making cuts. “We’re just kicking that can down the road for other councils to deal with.” He said the city’s five-year financial plan is a combination of “wish lists and needs” and should be cut down to realistic levels.

Admitting its latest push to cut hospital congestion is not yet working, Fraser Health has turned to a panel of outside experts for advice on what more it can do. The six-member panel – which includes three consultants with expertise in health care, a facilitator and representatives from both Fraser Health and the health ministry – is to table recommendations by the end of March. Fraser CEO Dr. Nigel Murray said the advisers will perform an independent and objective examination of the region’s efforts to reduce congestion and “identify any ways we can continue to Continued on A4

Scenes like this, with patients placed in hallways, are common throughout the region’s hospitals, as demand for beds outstrips the capacity of health care facilities and resources.

Heart attack at the gym

NewsBytes

Trained patrons and Lifepak save man’s life Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

If you’re going to be hit by a sudden heart attack, the best scenario would be in a building with a paramedic and other health care professionals in attendance, and a defibrillator handy. Such was the case for an Abbotsford man who is lucky to be alive after he suffered a lethal arrhythmia on Sunday at about 11:45 a.m. at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre. The man, who is middle-aged and described as having an average build, was on the treadmill at the gym. He finished his workout and went to join his wife, who was running on the track, when he suddenly collapsed. “We were fortunate to have medical professionals in the building at the time,” said facility manager Jennifer Thornton. Off-duty paramedic Jim Earle was doing his workout when he heard the commotion. Auxiliary firefighter Brian Wiens was also in the gym, and they assessed the patient and began CPR, trading off the tiring job every two minutes. There were also two emergency room nurses at a birthday party downstairs who arrived on scene, and also a Corrections officer with CPR training. There is also a Lifepak defibrillator at ARC, brought in approximately a year ago, and that is what ultimately saved his

A Lifepak defibrillator. life. They are designed to shock the heart, restoring it to a healthy rhythm. “It took one shot, and it brought him back,” said Thornton. On-duty paramedic Pete Smith said his job was made easy. By the time his ambulance arrived on scene, the patient was conscious and talking. But Smith said the situation could have been far more dire if not for the Lifepak. The patient was in lethal arrhythmia,

and “defibrillation is the only way to correct it.” The victim was disoriented, and had a bloody nose – indicating he was unconscious even as he fell to the floor. He was taken to Abbotsford Regional Hospital, and remained for a period of observation, but Smith said thanks to the work of those on scene he will likely be able to resume a normal life. Smith said the story makes a great case for having defibrillators in public buildings, businesses and places people congregate. The Lifepak begins “talking” to the person opening it as soon it is turned on. “Call for help now,” then “Remove all clothing from the patient’s chest,” and so on. Once two patches are connected to the torso, as illustrated in a picture, the device will analyze when to shock the patient, first warning the operator to “stand clear.” “They are intended for use by the layperson, who has never seen a cardiac arrest before,” said Smith. “Turn it on, and it’ll walk you through.” The man was still in hospital on Monday, and his name is not released to respect his privacy. Thornton said a scary incident for ARC personnel became an uplifting one. “The fact he survived is pretty amazing,” she said. “All the staff are pleased to hear he’s going to make it.”

‘Doing things the way we always have’ From A1

“We say we have a fiveyear plan and we do, but that plan doesn’t tell us anything.” On Monday night he suggested to council that a core services review was needed to analyze how the city does business. Braun believe the review would put all the city’s processes on paper. “In my view we don’t have that. There are a lot of processes that are in people’s heads,” said Braun. After the meeting, Braun further explained his position. Using engineering as an example, he said a developer can talk to two different staff members and get two different answers. “All of this takes time and money and frustrates people,” he said. Braun believes the

City staff will now look into what the timeline and cost would be to perform such a review. “We need to get some details for them (council) so they can make a decision on how to proceed,” said city manager Frank Pizzuto. He said a core services review is like an efficiency review, but it could also examine what kind of services the city should be delivering. “We want to get something back to council before they approve the budget,” he added. Pizzuto said a core services review is often performed by municipalities to see if they are as efficient as they need to be. “The more tight budgets get, there’s a little more activity in these areas.”

MISSING MAN FOUND Members of four search and rescue teams and the Abbotsford Police were involved in a seven-hour search for a missing man early Tuesday morning. The 35-year-old was found down an embankment in a wooded area near Blueridge Drive and Blue Jay Street, and was taken to hospital in critical condition. Const. Ian MacDonald said the incident began just before midnight, when police received a report from a man in Vancouver that his friend in VIDLEIONE ON ws.com Abbotsford had abbyne called and was despondent. Police were able to track down the man’s family and get his cellphone number. MacDonald said when they reached him on his phone, they were able to determine the man’s general location, using his cellphone signal. It was determined that the man was outdoors in a park or wooded area, and Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue was called in to assist. As the search continued through the night, members of other search teams in Surrey, Mission and Maple Ridge were called in. The man was found breathing but unresponsive at about 7 a.m. MacDonald said it is believed he had taken a number of sleeping pills and was also suffering from hypothermia.

make improvements.” They are to focus on the heavily congested Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals, but their advice may apply across the region. Murray said turning to outside advisers shouldn’t be viewed as an indictment of the authority’s staff or internal vision, but added he wants to leave no stone unturned in seeking solutions. “Our hospital network is at full capacity on a regular basis,” he said. A multi-pronged strategy was rolled out last fall to clear hospital beds faster, reduce lengths of stay, and discharge more elderly patients to home care rather than residential care homes. A year before that, the province was trumpeting its shift to a pay-for-performance funding model to foster hospital innovation and efficiency. But it’s hard to detect any improvement in the face of relentlessly rising demand. Emergency visits are up 7.3 per cent so far this year and patient days spent in hospitals in the region are up five per cent. Fraser Health doesn’t expect the panel to simply tell the province more money and beds are needed, said Barbara Korabec, Fraser Health’s vice-president of clinical operations. “Are there strategies other than just building new beds that we have not maximized?” Murray said the Home is Best initiative launched last year to encourage home support as an alternative to residential care promises to ease demand for care home beds, helping reduce the numbers of patients staying unnecessarily in hospital. Home support hours are up nearly eight per cent this year, Murray said, and fewer patients are being admitted to residential care that have never tried the option of home support. The expert panel is also expected to consider

Fraser’s demographic challenges. The region already has the largest and fastestgrowing population in the province, as well as the largest proportion of both seniors and the young. That’s compounded by the fact Fraser Health has fewer family doctors and specialists than its size warrants, she said. Fraser Health estimates it will gain another 327,000 residents, or 20 per cent more, by 2020. The population of seniors over age 65 is forecast to balloon 50 per cent by 2020 to more than 100,000. Dr. Tim Latham, a cardiac surgeon at Royal Columbian, welcomed the appointment of the panel and said he hopes the provincial representative ensures Victoria gets a clear picture of what’s needed. “The biggest problem is capacity,” he said. “You can’t pour two litres of water into a one-litre container.” Dr. Sheldon Glazer, an ER doctor at Royal Columbian and Eagle Ridge hospitals, said it shouldn’t take a panel of experts to conclude that the lack of inpatient beds is the key problem. “At any one time in Fraser Health there are the equivalent of two hospitals full of patients being placed in hallways in emergency rooms,” he said. Glazer said staff at RCH are intensely frustrated by the endless game of “musical beds” and some are leaving. Patients subjected to hallway medicine for too long suffer not just indignity and unrest, he added, but a higher risk of mortality. Fraser Health has to wait for the provincial government budget to be tabled to find out how much of a bump its $2.75-billion budget will get in the next budget year, which begins in April. The province had previously signalled the health authority will get an extra 4.1 per cent.

Man blows fuse over smart meter installation Officers called to confrontation at residence Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

The rollout of smart meters in Abbotsford hit a bump in the road on Crossley Drive, when a confrontation between a meter installer and an elderly man led to a police incident. The man, in his 70s, told The News by phone on Friday morning that he had just ordered the installer off his property, and threw the smart meter back onto the road. He said the police had been called, and asked The News to attend. They had no right to be on private property uninvited, he maintained. The family later asked for anonymity. Police resolved the incident without charges being laid. Neither the man who started the incident, nor the middle-aged woman who identified herself as the homeowner, offered further comment. The installer from Corix Utilities, which is the contractor for Hydro handling the installs, also

In September 2011, the province’s municipalities called for a delay in the smart meter rollout at the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) convention, citing cost and consultation concerns. The install is costing $1 billion, but Hydro estimates it will result in $1.6 billion over 20 years in energy savings through conservation and prevention of power theft. Verschoor said Hydro has so far completed about 7,000 of the 68,000 smart meter installations to be done in Abbotsford, and this is the only incident. Province-wide, the utility company has replaced 715,000 out of 1.8 million analog meters. Verschoor said confrontations have been “very, very rare.”

Police want $1M more Budget hike would represent 1.1 per cent tax increase Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) has asked city council to approve an operating budget increase of 4.5 per cent, representing a 1.1 per cent tax increase. The 2012 police budget, presented at Monday’s city council meeting, totals $41.7 million – a $1-million increase over 2011. Len Goerke, deputy chief in charge of administration, said the increase is due to rising costs – such as contracted wage hikes – and previously delayed expenses, including vehicle operation. He said 85 per cent of the budget is devoted to wages and benefits. Goerke said an additional $200,000 in vehicle operating costs – such as maintenance

and repairs – has been fac- lance and other tactics. It has tored into this year’s budget, felt the impact of losing reafter putting them off for two sources, Goerke said. years.

Ideally, the department would like to be at a ratio of 1:650. An expected 1.4 per cent population growth in the coming two years means the APD will need to hire 3.5 more officers per year to reach that ratio, he said. The APD currently has 216 police officers and 83 civilian staff. Last year’s police budget made up two per cent of the city’s 4.5 per cent tax increase and was a 6.9 per cent increase over the 2010 police budget. Abbotsford city council is currently debating the 2012 budget.

Stave Lake price tag rises Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

The final cost of the failed Stave Lake water supply proposal has risen. Tracy Kyle, the city’s director of water and solid waste, reviewed the project for council on Monday, saying an error in coding was the cause of the oversight. The total cost now stands at $3.61 million rather than the previously reported $3.54 million. That figure includes the cost of grant applications, referendum communications and project development costs. One expense that caught the eye of Coun. Henry Braun was the $326,965 spent by Abbotsford on referendum communications. “My understanding is we had a budget of $200,000 ... how did we get from there to this?” he asked. City manager Frank Pizzuto said there never was a set budget. “When we went to council and said here is the communications campaign, we said that it was going to be in the range of $200,000. When the referendum evolved and we went back to council again and said here’s the kind of things we have to do, the budget escalated.” Of the $3.61 million spent, almost $2.5 million was for project development costs, which included engineering work and environmental studies. That work could still be useful if the city eventually decides to return to the Stave Lake water supply. The overall project costs were broken down to $2.5 million spent by Abbotsford and $1.1 million spent by the Abbotsford Mission Water and Sewer Commission.

Health care realities Hospitals in the Fraser Health region are chronically overcrowded. Patients regularly are parked in hallways and emergency wards – sometimes for days. Those uncomfortable, and sometimes risky realities will be the focus of a panel of external experts who will examine hospital congestion and make recommendations. It isn’t likely this group will uncover major solutions that haven’t already been identified and implemented. A number of progressive initiatives to deal with hospital congestion have been recently undertaken by Fraser Health, including pay-for-performance funding to reward hospitals for increasing efficiency, and a push for patient home support rather than hospital stays. Yet, despite those efforts, emergency visits are up 7.3 per cent so far this year and patient days spent in hospitals in the region are up five per cent. Clearly, demand is outstripping facilities and resources. And the pressure is going to continue to rise, as Fraser Health estimates it will gain another 327,000 residents, or 20 per cent more, by 2020. Meanwhile, the

population of seniors over age 65 is forecast to balloon 50 per cent by 2020 to more than 100,000. The “quick” solution is to build more hospital capacity. However, that requires vast sums of money – from a cash-strapped government already running deficit budgets and facing increasing debt, in a less than dynamic economic climate. The armchair quarterbacks will lob off criticisms anchored in hindsight, and vague “stop wasting money” bromides, which of course don’t address the specifics, nor the billions of dollars required for expanded hospital infrastructure, and the professionals required to staff it. Make no mistake, hospital overcrowding is only one aspect of B.C’s overall health care challenge, which currently gobbles $18 billion, or more than 40 per cent of the entire provincial budget. As this new panel of experts will confirm, there are no easy answers to the present model of health care delivery, which increasingly appears to be unsustainable. It’s time to get real with a national step toward expanded forms of fee-for-service.

B.C. joins the LNG gold rush Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views The first thing to understand about the race to liquefied natural gas exports is how far back in the pack B.C. is starting. Canada has issued its first two export licenses for LNG export projects near Kitimat, to sell the product of the vast Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeastern B.C. One LNG plant has begun construction, the second is approved to proceed and a third is also proposed for the same region. Unlike the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline proposal, plants and associated pipelines have actually received all the necessary permits from our constipated federalprovincial environmental process. Australia has approved six LNG projects in the last two years, with a combined construction cost of $180 billion. Reuters reports that their $34 billion Ichthys project will vault Australia past the Middle Eastern kingdom of Qatar

into first place among global LNG exporters, assuming it is built by 2017. Top producing countries are Qatar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria and Algeria. The second thing B.C. taxpayers need to know is that there is no other practical choice here. Huge shale gas developments around North America have meant B.C.’s days of making a tidy sum selling gas to the U.S. are coming to an end. Natural gas replaced forest products some years ago as B.C.’s top commodity revenue stream, helping to keep the lights on in B.C. schools and hospitals. But the domestic price is down for the long term and the U.S. has plenty of its own gas now. The third thing to know is that there is misinformation about shale gas and “fracking.” Shaky videos show someone touching a match to water that has had gas bubbled through it, to artificially promote the idea that hydraulic fracturing of shale deposits contaminates groundwater. This and some scientifically illiterate media reports are all it takes to get a protest movement going these days. The fact that a kilometre or more of solid rock separates B.C. shale deposits from surface water sources is seldom mentioned.

The major public health risk from B.C.’s natural gas boom is the escape of sour gas, which contains poisonous, heavier-than-air hydrogen sulﬁde. That’s been a problem for B.C.’s conventional gas industry for decades. There are legitimate concerns about

The second thing B.C. taxpayers need to know is that there is no other practical choice here. water use and chemical discharge from shale fracturing, and the B.C. government has scrambled to upgrade its regulations on that as well as sour gas. Premier Christy Clark has run to the front of the LNG parade, trying to convey the notion that multi-billion-dollar investments made years ago by Chinese, Japanese, U.S. and Korean corporations are somehow the result of her “jobs plan.”

NDP energy critic John Horgan insists that the B.C. Utilities Commission oversee all this, so the B.C. Liberals don’t subsidize these giant transnational energy companies with cheap electricity and stick BC Hydro ratepayers with the bill. According to Horgan, the BCUC should also have lawyered away over the smart meter program for God knows how long, as analog meters become obsolete and Quebec and others modernize their electricity grids without hand-wringing or exploitation of imaginary health threats. This is not a good time to dither. An LNG terminal is proposed for Portland, Oregon and there will be others. LNG plants need lots of electricity, and the B.C. Liberal government wants to market B.C. LNG as the “cleanest” in the world because it’s processed with minimal burning of gas for power generation. Will foreign buyers care about B.C.’s LNG production methods? Are B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets history? More on that in a future column. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tﬂetcher@blackpress.ca

letters Agrifair subsidy has merit As part of its budget preparation Abbotsford city council will soon decide whether to assist Abbotsford Agrifair with a grant of $200,000. Clearly, not all requests for grants can be approved, but this one has much merit, and should be approved. These are the main reasons. T Agrifair serves the entire city. T The main reason for the request to increase the grant from last year’s $90,000 is that at the urging of various groups the saloon was closed, “to make the fair more family friendly.” In this case, raising morality costs money. T Agrifair helps to put Abbotsford on the map. T It always strikes me as

being a symbol of recognition of the area’s pioneers, especially their years of hard pioneer work in clearing land, draining large areas, and launching the city’s most important economic activity – agriculture. T Agrifair attendees from more distant places spend money not only at Agrifair, they also spend funds at hotels, restaurants, and shops. T At a time when it is difficult to attract younger people to agriculture, Agrifair provides both opportunities for, and recognition to, young and prospective farmers. T Given the huge generation of economic activity by Abbotsford’s farmers and people working in related businesses, a $200,000 subsidy

is, indeed, modest. T Large subsidies are given to other economic sectors in the city, such as public transportation and hockey arenas, not to mention a large complex and a hockey team. The case for Agrifair’s much smaller requirement is at least as convincing. T It must not be forgotten that when it seemed that the Stave Lake Water Project might not gain the needed public approval, council apparently had no difficulty finding $326,965 to promote the proposal. The $200,000 needed by our fine fair can surely be found in the same place. The results will doubtless be more impressive. John H. Redekop

Water user fees are good I laughed when I read Nellie Taylor’s letter about water consumption. This is a perfect example why water user fees are good. How much more water would she have wasted with an “unknown” run-on toilet problem. By getting a huge bill it brought the problem/solution to her attention. Residents who have large households should pay more for water.

Grocery/clothing bills are always going to be higher for a family of six vs. a family of two. Why then would water rates not be expected to be higher? If a household wishes to be large, then naturally their bills should be expected to be larger than a smaller household. Ken Sones

letters District gains $1 million in student opportunities At the latest school board meeting, the district claimed that the teachers’ “teach only” campaign has cost approximately $180,000 because their managers are busy covering supervision. The presentation purposefully omitted the “opportunities gained” for our students as a result of teachers not attending staff meetings or performing supervision duties. According to the Ministry of Education, in 2010/11 the average Abbotsford teacher salary was $70,278. We are paid for 200 days a year and the federal government credits teachers with 9.1 hours of work per day. Based on this, teachers in Abbotsford average $351.39 per day or $38.61 per hour. According to the collective agreement, staff meetings can last for one hour and 45 minutes, meaning every meeting costs, on average, $67.56 per teacher. Multiplied by 1,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers in Abbotsford, that means every cycle of staff meetings costs about $67,560. Since

September, each teacher has missed about 10 staff meetings for a total of $675,600 in “opportunities gained” for our students. Further, each teacher, when not on job action, performs 25 minutes of supervision per week, which is worth, on average, $16,090 per week, or $337,870 in “opportunities gained” since September. To date, the current “teach only” campaign has created $1,013,479 in opportunities for our students. Teachers have had more time to work collaboratively with colleagues, offer more in-depth feedback to students, lesson plan to meet the needs of all students, and inform their pedagogy through research to name just a few of the ways students have benefitted from the “teach only” campaign underway. If parents have concerns, we ask them to speak with their child’s teacher, who will be more than willing to talk with them, because kids matter and teachers care.

Abbotsford MP Ed Fast is encouraging employers to apply for funding through the Canada Summer Jobs program. “Through Canada Summer Jobs, we are helping employers in Abbotsford create much-needed summer job opportunities for students, while strengthening our community’s economy,” said Fast. Funding will be available for not-forprofit organizations and public-sector employers to create high-quality summer job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next school year. In 2011, the federal government permanently increased the annual budget for Canada Summer Jobs by $10 million. The increased funding is helping more students gain the skills and experience they need to be successful, both now and in the future. To help employers complete their application, the Canada Summer Jobs Applicant Guide is available online, by calling 1-800-9355555, or by visiting any Service Canada Centre. Employers can visit http://tinyurl. com/89gxpzx, to get an application from the website. They can also get an application by visiting any Service Canada Centre. Applications must be submitted between now and Feb. 29.

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-

served for the real estate agents and their clients. This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home. To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811. This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

name, he got in the truck and began speeding away. The officer then fired his gun, aiming it at one of the tires. A bullet was later found imbedded in the side of a nearby house. Police conducted an investigation into the incident, but the results were not available by press time Monday. Trethewey was found 45 minutes later, driving a Ford Focus – verified to be his – in the area of McKee Road and Cassiar Avenue. The stolen pickup was later found off-road on Eagle Mountain, and the trailer was missing. Trethewey is still facing charges stemming from an incident on Nov. 27 in Chase, B.C. in which he allegedly stole an automated banking machine from a gas station. Trethewey was arrested in a nearby gravel pit, where he was allegedly attempting to pry open the ATM. His next appearance on that matter is Feb. 14. He is also scheduled to go to trial Feb. 23 in Chilliwack for one count of possession of stolen property and one count of breaching his bail conditions on Dec. 18, 2010.

Connelly fitting in seamlessly with Heat From A14

Brendan Morrison on Jan. 27, just prior to the AHL all-star game. Connelly was already ticketed for the midseason showcase in Atlantic City, N.J., in recognition of his

exploits on behalf of the Rockford IceHogs. The offensiveminded blueliner showed up in Atlantic City with his IceHogs gear in his hockey bag, though he was no longer a member

of that franchise. The equipment manager at the all-star game had to run to a store and buy a Heat jersey for him to wear during the skills competition. “It was just a replica jersey,” Connelly noted

with a chuckle. “They popped my name on the back, got it set up.” Connelly, a diminutive 5’8” speedster who won the fastest skater event at the skills competition, has fit in seamlessly with the

Heat – he’s registered three assists in his first three games with his new club. “Guys like him are a blessing,” asserted Ward, noting that he’s usually plugging roster holes with

ECHL call-ups, rather than AHL all-stars. “There’s a certain skill component and mental component that he brings.” Q Thursday’s game will mark the second consecutive season

the Heat have staged a home game in Calgary against the Barons, the Edmonton Oilers’ affiliate. The Battle of Alberta, AHL edition, didn’t go so well for the Heat the first time around. On Feb. 18, 2011, the Barons scored twice in the final two minutes of the third period to beat Abbotsford 3-1, and the only reason it was even that close was, Heat goalie Leland Irving stood on his head. OKC outshot Abbotsford 27-19 that night, and Ward recalled it as the team’s worst performance of the season. “The players are excited to play in front of the Calgary fans and say, ‘This is who we are,’” Ward analyzed. “But I think like any player would be at this age, they’re nervous. We’ve tried to take the necessary steps to relieve those nerves and let them play more towards who they are.” Rookie winger Ryan Howse, out since Jan. 6 with a shoulder injury, returned to practice on Monday, and he’ll make the trip to Calgary. But Ward said his team, which has lost seven of its last nine games, is still seeking an identity to due to the absence of some of their bigger, grittier players. Forwards Quintin Laing (concussion) and Greg Nemisz (shoulder) are still sidelined due to injury, and the Heat are still adjusting to life without Lance Bouma (recalled by Flames) and Brendan Mikkelson (traded to Tampa Bay Lightning). “We’re missing the heart of our team in a lot of ways, in terms of our physicalness and our size,” Ward said. “We went from a decent-sized team that can handle some physical situations, and then we’ve become very small. We’re not a very difficult team to play against right now. “We’ve got to get some bodies back, and the bodies we have here, we’ve got to make them better players.” Oklahoma City tops the West Division and overall AHL standings with a 30-12-2-3 record for 65 points. The Heat, at 26-18-3-0, are 10 points back. After Thursday’s game, the two teams fly to Abbotsford for a rematch on Saturday (7 p.m., AESC).

SCHNEIDER, Phylis Irene July 1914 - January 2012

BUTCHART Richard (Rick)

BRAICH Herman Singh Jr. Herman Singh Braich Jr. (June 5th, 1960) - Son, Brother, Uncle and Friend - left us suddenly and much too soon on February 4th 2012. Loved by many and respected by all, Herman lived, laughed, and spoke resonantly, creating waves, stirring discussion, and infusing our lives with his passion, belief and insistence for all things moral and just especially freedom and equality for all. While proud of his accomplishments as a UBC grad (philosophy) and provincial All-Star athlete, we will remember Herman most fondly for his transcendent intellect, endearing spirit and fearless wit, humour and courage under the toughest of circumstances. Kind, generous and patient, Herman will remain Uncle extraordinaire to Steve, Talia, EJ, Leni, Petey, Rachel, Riley, Bradley and Natalie, but will certainly be missed most by his dear mother, Surjeet, siblings Erwin, Reita, Bobby(April), Kenny(Chelsi) and members of his extended family, sisters Jesse(Harry), Jinder, Baldev and their respective children. Having passed before him, Herman has joined his father Herman Sr. and brother Herjiwan (Jim) in God’s presence. Herman, we love you, we miss you and thank you for bringing light, love and laughter to our lives. Rest in peace gentle soul. A Funeral service will be held at The Clarke Theatre, 33700 Prentis Avenue, Mission on Sunday, February 12, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. with cremation to follow at Bakerview Crematorium, 34863 Cemetery Avenue, Mission. Prayer services will commence at 5:00 p.m. at the Mission Sikh Temple. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations in memory of Herman to the Canadian Diabetes Association would be appreciated.

Born in Chilliwack May 1943, Rick passed away on February 6, 2012 at Christine Morrison Hospice, after an heroic battle with ALS.

Rick was a well known member of the community, involved with the Lions Club, M.C.C., and Canadian Cancer Society. Rick’s smiling face was regularly present at events around Mission, sharing his love of the community and generous spirit with everyone around him. Rick’s presence will be greatly missed by all who him, as well as those whose lives were anonymously impacted by his charitable works. A celebration of Rick’s life will be held on February 11, 2012 at 1:30pm, Bakerview Community Crematorium 34863 Cemetery Ave, Mission BC. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations in Rick’s memory may be made to the ALS society.
