Abbotsford has been granted its own Lingerie Football League franchise. The female squad, which will play contact football dressed in padding and underwear (bras, panties and garters), will call the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC) home. Jason Blumenfeld, general manager of the AESC, said the deal came about after he heard the league was looking to put a team in B.C. He said Global Spectrum, the company that manages the sports centre for the city, has other arenas in the U.S. that already host the scantily clad sport. “They ended up contacting me when they were looking for an arena to play in,” he said. Blumenfeld expects public reaction to the announcement will be mixed. “I’ve had positive emails Continued on A5

No answers yet on Kinder Morgan oil spill

OF THE GAME

Investigation report might not be released publicly Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

It could take several months for the investigation to be completed on the recent Kinder Morgan oil spill in Abbotsford, but resulting reports might not be released to the public. Spokespersons for Kinder Morgan, the National Energy Board (NEB) and Environment Canada have all indicated that they are not sure what, if any, information will be released on the cause of the spill and related issues. “I absolutely understand that the community expects transparency and it will be important to rebuilding confidence and trust. What can and can’t be released will be a decision made by our legal counsel,” said Lexa Hobenshield of Kinder Morgan, which is conducting its own investigation. An independent government probe is being headed by the NEB with support from Environment Canada and the Conservation Officer Service of the provincial Ministry of Environment. Rebecca Taylor of the NEB said

Investigating agencies say they’re not sure what information will be released about the oil spill at the Kinder Morgan facility on Sumas Mountain on Jan. 24. that because the spill was deemed a “smaller incident,” the report might not be made public. Mark Johnson of Environment Canada said if an investigation proves inconclusive or is resolved outside of the courts, the agency might choose to not release information.

He said this can be done “out of respect for privacy and Charter rights, or to avoid a risk of defamation, or to avoid a risk of prejudice to ongoing and future investigations.” Johnson said information is released publicly “under exceptional circumstances,” such as when public health is at risk. B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake previously said the 110,000-litre spill on Jan. 24 was contained to Kinder Morgan’s Sumas terminal – located in the 4100 block of Upper Sumas Mountain Road – and posed no health or environmental dangers. Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross said that’s not good enough, and residents near the tank facility want more specific answers. Residents mainly in the Auguston area reported a strong odor on the day of the spill, and were concerned about the source. Many said they experienced headaches and breathing problems. “These people were worried ... They Continued on A6

Abby now at 133,497 people Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

Abbotsford’s population is now at 133,497, a 7.4 per cent increase from its 2006 total of 124,258, making it the fourth fastest growing major municipality in B.C. behind Surrey (18.6 per cent), Burnaby (10 per cent) and Richmond (nine per cent). Statistics Canada released population and private dwelling information from the 2011 census on Wednesday. According to the release, the District of Mission’s population increased by 5.6 per cent to 36,426 from the 2006 figure of 34,505. The combined Abbotsford/Mission CMA (census metropolitan area) population rose seven per cent to 170,191 from the 2006 figure of 159,020, making it the 13th

fastest growing region in the country. The Fraser Valley Regional District experienced an eight per cent increase – 277,593 from 257,031. “If we compare it to the national average, the City of Abbotsford actually grew faster than the national average and the provincial average as well. Whereas Mission also grew, albeit at a slower pace,” said Peter Laing, communications manager for the western region of Statistics Canada. Canada’s overall population rose 5.9 per cent, from 31,612,897 in 2006 to 33,476,688 in 2011, while B.C. rose seven per cent to 4,400,057 from 4,113,487. Laing said the census information is vital to local communities to properly plan for future needs.

“This data will be used for municipal planners to create a profile .... to allow service delivery to be delivered accordingly.” Those services include identifying whether there are enough police or fire services in the area as well as the number of schools or even where to focus road work. The census information also supplies a framework to determine the number of seats in parliament and the amount of transfer payments made to the provinces, through to the municipalities. Statistics Canada also released private dwelling numbers. There are 49,917 private dwellings in Abbotsford and 13,820 in Mission. The Fraser Valley Regional District has a total of 110,940 private dwellings.

NewsBytes HOSPITAL OVERCROWDING Doctors and nurses concerned about overcrowding issues at Abbotsford Regional Hospital have alerted the local fire department to the issue. Deputy Chief Mike Helmer said Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) has attended the hospital twice – once in October and once in January – to observe cramped conditions occurring at that time. Now, AFRS is working with Fraser Health and Johnson Controls (one of the hospital’s management providers) to develop a plan for dealing with periods of overcrowding so that they don’t hit a “critical stage,” Helmer said. He said dangerous situations can arise, with emergency and exit corridors being blocked. Measures could include moving patients to open wards. The safety plan is expected to be complete by mid-March.

TABOO SHOW CANCELLED The Taboo Naughty But Nice Sex Show has been cancelled. Dan Stefanson, executive director of Abbotsford Tourism, which runs Tradex for the city, said the news came as a “shock” to him and has no idea why Canwest decided to cancel. “We don’t know why. We just received a brief message saying we want out, as per the term of our licence agreement and we honoured that and terminated the contract.” The fourth annual show was scheduled to take place at Tradex at the end of March. As part of the agreement, the Taboo show will now forfeit any money paid to Tradex. “This is not uncommon. Shows cancel all the time ... We’ve been compensated for the cancellation.” He said the bigger issue is trying to fill a vacancy with just six weeks to go. The Taboo show has been a controversial subject since it first came to Abbotsford.

Sex assault suspects could strike again

Wednesday, February 29

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Police are warning the public to be wary that two sexual predators are still on the loose and could strike again. Const. Ian MacDonald said police have received numerous tips about the two men involved in the brutal assault of a 19-year-old woman on Feb. 2, including their possible identities. He said the Abbotsford Police Department has made the investigation its top priority. However, following up on the tips and making an arrest can take time. “They (the assailants) are still out there, despite the fact we have several helpful tips ... These two are not in custody, and we need the general public to exercise caution when it comes to personal safety,” MacDonald said. He reminded women to be alert of their surroundings, walk in pairs, travel in well-lit areas and arrange a ride whenever possible. He suggested that women ensure someone accompanies them to or from their vehicle when they are walking across a parking lot. The 19-year-old victim was walking along the sidewalk in the area of Pauline and Homeview streets at about 7

Mantler also pleaded guilty to the robbery of a store in the 2600 block of Montrose Avenue on Nov. 17. At that time, she pulled out a syringe and demanded cash from the store’s owner. She then fled the scene, but a detailed description from witnesses enabled police to track her down in a taxi in the 33500 block of South Fraser Way.

Purse snatcher sentenced An Abbotsford woman has been sentenced to five months in prison and two years’ probation for two robberies she committed last fall. Maria Mantler, 35, was given credit for the almost three months she has been in jail since her second arrest in November, leaving just over two months of her sentence. Mantler pleaded guilty to theft under $5,000 in relation to an incident on Oct. 20.

QUESTION

Smart Meters

OF THE WEEK

Do you approve of hosting lingerie football in the Abby entertainment centre?

The beneﬁt of the Smart Meter is that it will allow for the creation of a distributed energy system, “the energy internet”, whereby energy can be created locally (on the roof of your home or from your fuel cell car, for instance) and distributed efﬁciently where it is needed on the grid. This will allow for the evolution of the energy system and meet future demands - which are ever increasing. Rick Halas

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

I wonder why those who favour Smart Meter’s feel the need to question those who don’t regarding their personal use of cell phones, cordless phones and routers? I think the question misses the point regarding Smart Meters. Individuals can choose whether to expose themselves to these devices. With the advent of Wi Fi and Smart Meters personal choice about exposure is removed. Sherry Ridout

Do you support the carbon tax in B.C.? 212 RESPONDED:

YES: 12% NO: 88%

Smart Meters. Dumb argument. Claus Andrup

Running to catch up with retirement Andrew

Holota

On Point To the Honourable Ed Fast, Member of Parliament for Abbotsford, B.C. Dear Mr. Fast: May I call you Ed? I always think letters are more friendly if they’re on a ﬁrst-name basis. The issue I’d like to address today, Ed, is your government’s tinkering with the Old Age Security pension, and possibly extending it from 65 to 67, thereby keeping people in the workforce longer. With all due respect, sir, HAVE YOU FOLKS IN OTTAWA GONE SENILE? Sorry. Did I think that out loud? As you can see, this matter has me quite concerned – just short of downright agitated, actually. I am almost 55 years of age. (Please don’t share that with everyone. When I

hit 50, I went into denial). In any event, I am 10 years shy of ofﬁcial retirement. In fact, if the psychopathic stock market hadn’t scared my investments back into the 1990s, I would be eagerly anticipating my bon voyage from this mortal toil in a mere ﬁve years! However, as you’re no doubt aware, the tender nest eggs of so many of us have been trampled by the panicking weasels of Wall Street. So, the assertion that any changes your government might make to the OAS will give those of us with retirement on the horizon plenty of time to plan ahead, is frankly, not comforting. Financial planning in this economic climate is like shooting an arrow directly above oneself and hoping it doesn’t come down on your head. That aside, let’s talk about the concept of keeping seniors in the workforce longer. For heaven’s sake, why would you want to do that? Think about it. Legions of silverhaired employees, having afternoon nappies at their stations, and answering the phones with “eh, what’s that?”

Young people are always complaining about there not being enough jobs. Well, if the 60-somethings would get the heck out of the way, there’d be plenty of work available! Don’t we want fresh, young minds on the challenges of the day, rather than

Why would you want to populate the workforce with people who think tweeting is something birds do? the generation which created the challenges in the ﬁrst place? Why would you want to populate the workforce with people who think tweeting is something birds do, or is a polite way to express gaseous indigestion? Look, Ed. I’ve worked long and hard in my lifetime. I’ll continue to do so until I hit retirement, which will come before 65 only if I ﬁnally hit it big in

the Lottto. And that’s assuming stress doesn’t take me out first. I’d like a bit of time to really enjoy some living before that happens. And when the time comes, I want to die in my bed, or in an alpine meadow, or on a remote lakeshore with a fly rod in my hand – anywhere but at my desk! Beyond the office environment, think of construction sites. Just the logistics of getting senior labourers around on their electric scooters is rather daunting, don’t you think? How do you get them up to the 20th floor of a new high-rise? And when they arrive at their work site, will they remember what they’re supposed to do? To sum up, I think our society has gone a bit batty with the “70 is the new 60” mantra. What’s the rush? I think by the time we hit 65 we should all be able to relax and watch the sunset, rather than try to catch up with it. Anyway, thanks for listening, Ed. I’ve got to go back to work now.

Change water tiers, rates

There are various views about water conservation and water charges in Abbotsford. I believe everyone will concur that the water is a resource that must be carefully managed. We do not want a situation where there is a risk of having a shortage or possibility of running out of water. We acknowledge that water is a necessity for every one of us. It is also a fact that some people use less water, and on the other hand some have larger use. Water conservation is the need of the hour. It is also not fair for low water consumers to subsidize large water consumers. At the same time, excessive water charges are distressing, especially to large families, seniors and physically impaired

people. Water rates should be planned in such a way that they are fair, equitable and everyone pays according to the amount of water used â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether single unit, multiple units, basements â&#x20AC;&#x201C; legal or illegal. A group of concerned Abbotsford citizens have created the following petition and plan to bring it the next council meeting. 1. There should be one basic uniform per cubic meter rate for all residential water users 2. Consumers to be charged according to the amount of water used 3. In order to give a nondiscriminatory break to all citizens, the current tiers system of water consumption to revised as per following: a. The current first tier level of 0â&#x20AC;&#x201C;60 (m3) be raised to 0â&#x20AC;&#x201C;120 (m3)

b. Level 2 of 61â&#x20AC;&#x201C;90 (m3) to be changed to 121â&#x20AC;&#x201C;180 (m3) c. Level 3 of 91+ (m3) should be changed to 181 plus (m3) 4. The basic water rate charges for Level 1 should remain at current level of $1.13 per cubic meter 5. Increases to Level 2 and 3 should be in line with normal fiscal policy principles 6. Water billing should be annual or twice a year. That will result in huge revenue savings for the city and less hassle for the consumers. People are requested that if you agree with the above then send your affirmation directly to the city council or send email to â&#x20AC;&#x153;jobbermh@yahoo. comâ&#x20AC;? and your name will be added to the petition. This is a democratic approach and we thank you for doing your part. Musleh Hakki

children, is unfair taxation to subsidize those that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay their fair share of taxes for their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education. In these â&#x20AC;&#x153;monster homes,â&#x20AC;? where at least two families dwell with possibly numerous children, or in single apartments or complexes, some pay one school tax or none at all. Families that have children should pay school taxes based on the number of children they have attending school. This would eliminate the monster house,

Paying for what you use

I would like to know why people who use more water feel they are getting ripped off because they have to pay more. If high users donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay for what they use, do they figure people who use less should pay? This makes no sense, and I believe

multi-family dwelling problem of only paying one tax, when in fact, they may have six children attending school and should be paying on the basis of child attendance, not the fact that they are a homeowner. Levies of school taxes are currently assessed to a homeowner, even those without children or children in school. I currently pay over $1,100 per year in school taxes, subsidizing monster home families and others with school children. Undoubtably, during

the course of my children in school, people were paying school taxes as well, possibly subsidizing me to some extent, even though I was paying school taxes at the time. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not inferring that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to pay any school tax, as we all know how much things cost today, but it would be nice to pay less school tax if others paid their fair share according to the number of children they have attending school. Jack Langstaff

this is not discrimination. If you use more hydro do you not pay for what you use? As for costing $20,000 or more for sending out bills every two months, using six-month billing makes more sense. Dennis Hagen

Executors & Estate Settlement Seminar

School taxation subsidizes others

Re: Letter by John Skorupa, Feb. 2. The point that I want to pick up on, is the levy of school taxes against the homeowners who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have â&#x20AC;&#x153;any children,â&#x20AC;? or children currently in school. I have paid school taxes for 36 years and have had my children in the school system for 16 of those years, of which, I have no problem paying those taxes. However, school taxation on home owners who do not have children in school or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have

A water rip-off

I don’t mind paying for water usage, but when the city rips you off with their billing like they did with my household where there are four adults, that’s when I get upset. Our July/Aug bill was $90, which we felt was legitimate. Then we received our Sept/Oct bill which had doubled. I contacted the city regarding our bill and they emailed a graph of our high water usage days. From there we were able to work out how many gallons we used, and what days were the high usage days. They claimed we used 5,000 gallons over three non-consecutive days which, unless we had a swimming pool or were irrigating acreage, it would be virtually impossible. And of those three days, we were not home on two of them. They then proceeded to tell me I had a

leaky toilet valve, which it would be very talented if it only leaked on those three days. So they checked my meter to see if we had any leaks at our house and guess what, no leaks. They did amend my bill by using the same litres of water just using the lower tier. We did not use the 5,000 extra gallons, so why would we pay anything for it? We just received the bill for Nov/ Dec and it was even less than the first bill. People, check your bills. All of our friends have the same issue for their Sept/Oct bill and are waiting for their graphs. There is no way that we used 5,000 extra gallons of water over those three days yet we still have to pay for them. Robert Koster

OAP age change ‘terrifying’ The latest news story these days is the idea of raising the age of OAP to 67 instead of 65. To many this may seem like a good idea. But to a lot of people who started working at a very early age, this

may be a terrifying thought. Maybe a better idea is to make the politicians wait a little longer for their free-ride pension that they receive after serving just eight years.

Like the levies on gas to subsidize TransLink, and property tax rising to do the same, it should be user pays, not the poor guy who never rides a bus or SkyTrain. Richard Moore

If you take a continuing studies course from the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, chances are that it will be at UFVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest location. UFV Continuing Studies has moved from the Marshall Road annex to a newly renovated space on the bottom floor of the Clearbrook library. The Clearbrook centre provides 15,000 square feet and replaces the Marshall Road space. UFVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s applied business technology program is also now housed at the centre along with continuing studies, and it will be used by other UFV departments for special events and seminars. UFV held a special opening ceremony for the centre on Tuesday, Feb 7. This new centre of learning is close to Abbotsford City Hall, The Reach gallery, Abbotsford police headquarters, shopping and restaurants, and the library. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This new facility provides the space and state-of-the-art equipment and amenities needed for us to provide educational opportunities and community liaison right in the heart of Abbotsford,â&#x20AC;? said UFV president Mark Evered. You can find the UFV Clearbrook centre on the bottom floor of the Clearbrook library. The official address is 32355 Veterans Way.

Drowning in debt Credit cards, banks loans and lines of credit are sinking more people than ever

Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

obert and Martha were afraid to answer their phone. In fact – they simply stopped picking up. With $15,000 of debt, the Abbotsford couple feared it was the collectors calling. They had been trying to balance their six credit cards by borrowing from one to pay the other. When that failed, they used two lines of credit, one for $5,000 and the other for $12,500. Then they used the cards to pay the lines of credit, taking them back to square one. The downward spiral started seven years ago, after Robert’s fifth knee surgery. He was no longer able to work at the box factory in Richmond where he had been employed for 33 years. At the time, Marie, 56, was working as a nanny. While Robert, 65, was receiving disability pay, the two incomes weren’t enough to cover the bills. Interest charges were building. Finally, they decided enough was enough. “I was close to having a nervous breakdown,” said Robert. Following a suggestion from Martha’s sister, the couple visited Abbotsford’s Credit Counselling Society. The non-profit organization helps individuals and families find solutions to their debt problems with free credit counselling services, credit education and debt management programs. With the help of a counsellor, the couple made a plan to get back on track. That was five years ago. Now, they’re debt-free. Credit card debt is a common scenario, said Scott Hannah, president and CEO of Credit Counselling Society. “For a lot of people, it can happen over time and then sneak up on them,” he said. “It starts with the month they find them-

selves a little short and then use credit to cover the shortfall, and then continue to spend more than what comes in each month. Maybe it’s $200 or $300 extra.” It tends to reach a peak

when someone loses their job, an injury occurs, or when a credit card reaches its limit and the minimum payment isn’t affordable. Often, a lack of “strong money man-

aging skills” is what leads to people finding

themselves in financial difficulty, said Hannah.

People are also saving less than they used to. “The average savings rate was over 10 per cent of what people were making. Now it’s less than two per cent.” The key in avoiding this situation is creating a spending plan, which means accounting for living costs, retirement, seasonal savings and so on. According to Hannah, 95 per cent of people aren’t operating with a budget in mind. For more information about the Credit Counselling Society, Continued on A16

For some people, counselling may not be enough to get them out of a financial nightmare. Sheila Smelt is a trustee in bankruptcy with Sands & Associates, and has dealt with hundreds of cases throughout the Fraser Valley and beyond. She said the most common mistake people make is not taking action soon enough. “A lot of people come to me after they’ve talked to someone else – they’ve talked to everyone from their mechanic to their next-door neighbour, to the girl at the grocery store. Everybody’s got all sorts of stories about what’s good about bankruptcy and what’s bad ... most of it is urban myths.” Smelt said credit counsellors are great

you owe, the farther into the future you’re working – for free.” Smelt offers a typical example. A young couple starts out; both have jobs and want to create a life for themselves. So they buy a house. And “that stretches their income.” Then they decide to buy a car, which stretches it even more. Then, she gets pregnant. “Now, all of a sudden, they want to maintain the same lifestyle on 50 per cent of the income.” And Smelt said it’s the unwillingness to change that causes the problem. People begin to use more credit, to cover other debts. Often it isn’t the amount of debt that brings people in to see Smelt; it’s all about the level of income in comparison to the debt. She said someone on social assistance or receiving emergency funds from welfare has no ability to pay anything. “For them, $5,000 in debt may as well be $500,000.” On the other end of the scale, Smelt has seen people more than $2 million in debt, usually because of a failed business endeavour. “Most banks are smart. They get people to give personal guarantees on business debt. So if the business fails, the person is on the hook.” But on average, debt sits in the $30,000 to $50,000 range and consists of a broad mix of credit cards and lines of credit. “When you see plastic, you don’t see money. It makes impulse buying easier.” According to Smelt, the average number of cards in the average wallet is 11. “So for everybody out there that has one or two cards, there’s somebody out there with 20. “I have an individual who has been on welfare for their entire life. How this person got a credit card, I don’t know ... $20,000 later I’m dealing with it.” Also see Help A17

When to ask for help People tend to procrastinate before acting Don’t wait until you’re in over your head to ask for financial help. That’s the advice of Scott Hannah, president and CEO of Credit Counselling Society. The society, which has a location in Abbotsford, helps individuals and families find solutions to their debt problems with free credit counselling services, credit education and debt management programs. Their average client has between $25,000$40,000 of credit card debt and seven cards, said Hannah. That doesn’t include car payments. “People tend to

procrastinate before able to afford the getting active about minimum monthly debt,” he said. “Often, payments on bills. people come in when “Even when you they’ve reached a use a credit card to point when they’re pay for a latte, it’s not getting anywhere a sign. You’re doing w i t h it because their debt you don’t because it’s have the too overcash on wh e l m hand to ing.” manage To avoid everyday heading l i v i n g into finanexpenses.” cial difHannah ficulties, also sugHannah g e s t s suggests creating a HANNAH watching spending for a few plan and clues, which include remembering to constantly being in always pay yourself account overdraft, first. That means always paying month- putting money into ly bills and utilities savings, retirement, late, and only being bills and discretion-

ary spending. And while it is hard for some people to pick up a phone and ask a stranger for help, Hannah said it’s better for the call to be made sooner rather than later. If it’s done early enough, the individual, couple or family may only need to make a few simple arrangements, such as reducing payments at the bank, to get back on track. In addition, when the society gets involved, creditors often stop adding interest. For financial advice on how to avoid debt, visit mymoneycoach. ca or nomoredebts. org.

Reach peace symposium

A symposium panel discusses peace. the Arts group at his church, Emmanuel Mennonite.” The event continued at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium where Jon Nofziger, peace and development education coordinator for Mennonite Central Committee BC (MCC BC) introduced the guest speaker. Dr. Ernie Regher, began with an address on the Nature of War Today. Regher indicated that the second half of the 20th century saw fewer state-to-state wars than the first half and

that while civil wars certainly still exist, this is still an achievement. “We are actually living in the most peaceful time of our history,” he said. “Positive change can happen. To work ceaselessly to prevent war is not idealism and fantasy but an attainable goal.” Regher’s address was followed by a panel discussion on the Nature of Peace Today. The panel included Regher as well as Dr. Saul Arbess, co-chair of the Department of Peace Initiative and Victoria Marie,

a Vancouver-based teacher, researcher and activist. Each speaker gave a different perspective on peace. Victoria Marie indicated that peace must begin within each person in order to affect positive change outside oneself. “First we must be a people of peace,” she said, “then we have a place from which to begin.” The afternoon ended with a conversation between Barenscott and Dick Averns, an artist and writer who has toured with the Canadian Armed Forces, who explored the role of the artist in times of conflict. “The role of the artist is to draw attention to what is happening, not to give easy answers,” Barenscott said. “During Goya’s time, war was human to human conflict. Today, conflict has become more abstract. It is the same in art, which has gone from a literal expression to an often more abstract expression.”

More than 150 people came out to a gallery tour and peace symposium at the Reach Gallery Museum in Abbotsford on Feb. 4. Goya: Conversations on War and Peace, began at noon with a tour of the Goya: the Disasters of War and Los Caprichos exhibit currently showing at the Reach. Dr. Dorothy Barenscott, an art historian and writer, and Scott Marsden, curator at the Reach, led the tour of the National Gallery of Canada exhibit that is an expose of the atrocities committed against the Spanish people by Napoleon’s armies during the Peninsular War. The tour enabled viewers to learn more about the context of Goya’s work as well as the process of creating his exquisite prints. “It is a real coup for Abbotsford to get Goya’s sketches from the National Gallery,” said Ed Janzen, who attended the symposium and who leads the Christianity and

This may seem like a bit of promotion for the floral and horticultural industry, but I thought these results would be interesting to everyone. With so much stress and depression in today’s world, it’s great to know that something as simple as a bouquet of flowers can help to cheer someone up – a nice thought just before Valentine’s Day.

In Historic Downtown Abbotsford ungry? I know just the spotâ&#x20AC;Śwell, ok, I know many because Downtown Abbotsford has so many wonderful eateries. During Heritage Week, February 20th to 26th, we will be featuring â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Taste of Heritageâ&#x20AC;? specials. Make sure you check us out on Facebook at facebook.com/abbotsforddowntown and also www.downtownabbotsford.com for updates on the menus. They are looking really scrumptious!

Many Downtown Abbotsford eateries can cater to your glutenfree needs; there is also much to choose from for the health-conscious diner. At Mitch Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant you can get almost anything on the menu gluten-free. Ann Marieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ is praised for their home-cooked goodness gluten-free style.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale Abbotsford - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identiÀes the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identiÀed and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector Áags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away

altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report, call toll-free 1-800-478-1805 and enter 1003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

Very shortly, there will be a schedule of public events, where you can continue to enter to win, by simply taking a photo of the Sick Civic and emailing it to a disclosed address.

We started with a tired but relatively great car which was primed for a professional overhaul. The Honda Way service team kicked off the project by putting it through their standard multi point inspection, rebuilding the transmission and giving it a clean bill of health. From there we released the Civic to our dream team of local automotive specialists to perform the many tasks needed to assemble it in to one Sick Civic! Everything from the wheels and paint, to interiors and audio, received professional customization. It’s now almost done, tricked-out and ready to be won.

m Build! It’ll be GONE IN 60 SECONDS 16 WEEKS! Quick Q’s & A’s with the build crew What was the longest day you pulled while working on the Sick Civic? DAVE / FIX AUTO COLLISION: We managed to work a few long ones, including one night almost to midnight with a crew of 6 in the paint booth!

What was your food of choice to sustain all the hard work? ROD / HRR CUSTOM BUILDER: With the hours we kept on this build, i would have to say the chosen octane was indeed Timmy’s ice caps and doughnuts. It certainly helped having them less than a block away!

What is the most difficult aspect of applying the custom paint job? DAVE / FIX AUTO COLLISION: Our desired choice of the paint was to use a water based candy application. We also needed to apply a carbon fiber vinyl film and apply decals over top including a clear coat. This in itself presented us challenges, but not a problem! The end result is all we ever care about.

If you scored this Sick Civic, what would be your tunes of choice for the ﬁrst test drive of the dialed new audio system? DAVE / FIX AUTO COLLISION: Not an easy choice by any standard, however the voice we seem to hear from various parts of our shops on a consistent basis has to be Rihanna.

What is your fav aspect of the customizations on this sick new Civic? ROD / HRR CUSTOM BUILDER: Well there are many but the candy orange Sherwin-Williams accent paint is truly sick. I gotta say...the two tone customized heated leather seats are pretty tricked out too!

Have you ever chowed a pizza as big as those wheels, unassisted? ROD / HRR CUSTOM BUILDER: I’ve never encountered a pizza too large for me to push away! A 17” pizza - bring it on!

How does the scale of this job compare to the average project you get coming through your workshop? DAVE / FIX AUTO COLLISION: In the scheme of things, this was not a very difﬁcult build for us. Our biggest challenge was the time-frame. The important thing to us was to get it right and have our brand well represented. We take pride in everything we do big or small!

How many man hours do you reckon went into this from start to ﬁnish? ROD / HRR CUSTOM BUILDER: All in all, including everyone who was involved, ( the Honda Way, Curtis Tire & Wheel, Fix Auto Collision, HRR Custom Builder, HRR Audio & Interiors ) we collectively worked over two hundred hours!

Abbotsford to host big-time BMX races Supercross World Cup event coming in September Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

JOHN MORROW

Abbotsford News file photo

The BMX track at Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Exhibition Park will host a Supercross World Cup Series race in September. The event will feature top riders from over 30 countries.

The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best BMX riders are poised to pedal into Abbotsford in September. The track at Exhibition Park will play host to a Supercross World Cup Series event Sept. 14-15, featuring the best female and male BMX riders from over 30 different countries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of whom will have competed the month prior at the Summer Olympics in London. Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s governing body, announced Thursday that Abbotsford had been awarded the event, thanks

to a bid from Cycling BC. The Supercross World Cup Series is broadcast around the globe to millions of viewers and offers a total prize purse of $150,000. Steve Baxter, president of Abbotsford BMX, said that landing the right to host an event of this stature is a thrill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are only four of these (World Cup races) each year in the world, so to get an event like this is a huge deal,â&#x20AC;? he enthused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially an Olympic-sized event at our track. The kids and the adults from our club, and everyone in the middle, are really excited.â&#x20AC;? Septemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s races

will mark the first time a Supercross World Cup event has ever been contested in Canada, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only possible because of extensive infrastructure upgrades to the Exhibition Park track. Last summer, construction was completed on a new start hill, standing 28 feet in height and with a steep 27-degree slope. The hill â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nearly identical to the one used for the 2008 Beijing Olympics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was built at a cost of about $260,000, which was covered through a variety of grants, fundraising initiatives, and volunteer labour. The supercross hill is Continued on A38

Adversity fuels Cascadesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rise in national ranking Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

In sports, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a certain freedom that comes when a team decides it has absolutely nothing to lose. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the collective headspace the University of the Fraser Valley womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team found themselves in when the 2011-12 season opened. Last fall, head coach Dennis Bokenfohr informed his players that they were one of four

UFV sports teams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf and rowing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that were on the chopping block due to budgetary limitations. Faced with the potentially devastating possibility that their program might not exist beyond this season, the Cascades could have allowed it to become a distraction. Instead, they used it as fuel, adopting a damn-the-torpedoes mentality that has powered them to new heights. The UFV volleyball women

are currently second in the PacWest conference with a stellar 16-4 record, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ranked No. 4 in the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) national rankings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We basically began this season playing like there was no tomorrow, because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what tomorrow was going to bring,â&#x20AC;? Bokenfohr noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was our mentality going in. Instead of dwelling on the fact we might not have a pro-

gram, we said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go after it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;It changed some things as far as recruiting . . . 100 per cent of the attention was given to the girls this year, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve responded to the point weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at today.â&#x20AC;?

2012-13 season, thanks in large part to a $38,000 community fundraising initiative. A longer-term financial solution is in the works. But while Bokenfohr is grateful for some semblance of security, he wants his team to continue to play with the same level of abandon down the stretch of the season. The goal is a CCAA national championship berth, which would be a first for the program, and it’s within reach. With PacWest front-runner Vancouver Island University hosting the national tourney this year, a silver medal at provincials would more than likely punch the Cascades’ ticket. Bokenfohr’s roster is riddled with success stories. Much of the team’s success has been ignited by dynamic 5’10” middles Kayla Bruce and Kierra Noot. Bruce leads the PacWest in total offence (averaging 4.08 points per set) and aces (0.84), and she’s fourth in blocking (0.93). Noot, meanwhile, leads the entire nation in blocking, averaging 1.21 per set. Bruce, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, said the fact that Noot is ahead of her in the blocks department makes her “a little bit jealous.” But she noted that practicing against another elite middle has made her a better player. “Just being able to compete against someone like that, it brings your level up so much,” she said. “When we go out and play other teams, it’s easy.”

Other Cascades stat stars include outside hitters Jenna Evans and Krista Hogewoning, who are fourth and fifth in the PacWest, respectively, in kills. Libero Brittany Stewart boasts the second-best dig rate in the conference, at 4.25 per set. The hidden key to UFV’s breakthrough season, though, has been the play of Jill Saunders. When former starting setter Kim Mintenko graduated last spring, Bokenfohr asked the fourth-year Cascade if she’d be willing to make the shift from outside hitter to setter. Despite the fact Saunders had never played the sport’s most pivotal position before, she’s orchestrated the offence in impressive fashion. “When I tell other people she’s never set before, they’re absolutely blown away,” Bokenfohr said. “To take over that role and succeed this year, she deserves a lot of credit for what’s been going on.” The Cascades generated a lot of motivational mileage when their program was in danger of being cut, but they’re ecstatic to have been granted a reprieve. Playing like there’s no tomorrow can be a powerful phenomenon in its own right, but there’s an additional reward in contributing to something with an enduring legacy. “We’re definitely thankful we’ll be having a team next year, especially with how well we’re doing,” Bruce summarized. “I hope we can continue with that same positive outlook and effort, and give it all we’ve got.”

OBITUARIES

FRIESEN, Walter

Dalton 1925 - 2012 Doreen “Mary” Dalton died on February 7 in the Abbotsford Regional Hospital, surrounded with love from her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. A beautiful, strong and vibrant person, a successful professional woman and a devoted mother, Mary was the loving wife and companion of Bob Dalton, who pre-deceased her in 2003. Together they had lived a remarkable and exciting life. After nursing in war-torn England, Mary worked with Bob to run a number of successful small businesses, including an antique shop on London’s famous Portobello Road and a restaurant and small hotel in the seaside city of Hastings on the south coast of England. In 1956, with three children, Keith, John and Anne, Mary joined Bob in the film business in Ottawa on what they saw as the first step to completing their dream of gradually travelling around the world. Mary capped a successful career in Toronto as both a Captain in Toronto Service Battalion and as Advertising Manager for Sears Canada catalogue. She and Bob then fulfilled their wish to travel around the world in a globe-trotting retirement spanning almost three decades. In respect of Mary’s wishes, her family will re-gather in the spring to celebrate her life and to spread her ashes over the ocean. From her old friends Mary would enjoy a toast and a “remember when”. Her favourite charity was Doctors Without Borders. Thanks to the doctors and nurses of Abbotsford Regional Hospital for their compassionate care and help in giving Mary a peaceful end to a well-lived life.

Walter Friesen passed away on February 8, 2012 at the Langley Hospice. He was born on July 10, 1940 at Swalwell, Alberta. He married Irma Giesbrecht on June 30, 1961; she passed away on June 9, 1993. He married Joyce Barkman on October 29, 1994. Walter was a professional truck driver for over 50 years. He was a loyal member of the Church of God in Christ Mennonite in Abbotsford. Walter is survived by his wife Joyce, two daughters Valerie Friesen of Warman, Saskatchewan, Lucille, (Brendan) Reimer of Hillsboro, Kansas, one brother Claude Friesen and his wife Ruth of Abbotsford, two sisters Margaret, (Allen) Jantz of Winton, California, Elaine, (Doug) Regehr of Armstrong, BC, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, also other extended family and friends. He was predeceased by his oldest sister Mary and his youngest brother Allen. A Viewing will be held on Sunday, February 12, 2012 at 7-8:30 p.m. at the Church of God in Christ Mennonite, 29623 Downes Road, Abbotsford. Funeral Services will be held on Monday, February 13, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. from the Church of God in Christ Mennonite. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Langley Hospice Society or the Canadian Red Cross. Online condolences may be left at: www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com.

Are you living life in the fast lane? Part 4 Angelo Rea B.Th., M.T.S.

Area Manager DIGNITY FUNERAL HOMES

Life is short slow down! Human responsibility takes on priorities. Losing focus can really hurt us. We want to be physically, emotionally, and spiritually vibrant. We want to be healthy in these areas. Having clarity and understanding is the key to staying focused. Being mentally healthy is an important condition to be in. Therefore, what is your focus? What is your aim in life? What do you desire most? These questions can determine your present state “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Sometimes we can focus on the unimportant things in life. For instance, if my goal is to capture material wealth this may result in a lot of stress taking place. When we are on this pursuit, we may sacriﬁce the most important people in our life. One important truth is “That you can’t take it with you.” Living life in a fast lane will create lost opportunities. We may feel empty and lost. In the end, you are responsible for the decision you make. Slowing down is instrumental in prioritizing your life.

BC JOBS PLAN: TECHNOLOGY Technology is a fast-growing sector of the B.C. economy. The industry is a magnet for highly educated professionals attracted to world-class high-tech clusters including the life-sciences, digital media and wireless, information and communications technology, ocean sciences and motion picture production. The average wage of $63,440 is more than 52% above the average for all jobs in British Columbia, which makes this sector even more attractive to job seekers. In 2009, the high-tech industry provided 84,000 jobs with a total salary bill that added up to $5.3 billion, up from $4 billion in 2007. The job growth will continue, with a projected 57,000 technology jobs opening by 2019, and an annual growth rate of 2.2%. British Columbia attracts global technology leaders, including Pixar, Disney, Boeing, MDA, Microsoft, Sierra Wireless, SAP, Dolby Canada, and Intel. These major technology companies look for a stable economy with a supply of experienced employees and a supportive government. British Columbia has both. It helps that the University of British Columbia is rated No. 1 in terms of technology licensing, an indicator of a high level of success and a culture that nurtures innovation. Who was it that said ‘necessity is the mother of invention’? The answer could be Alexander Fernandes, previously of Qimage. After his Burnaby plant was broken into, Fernandes invested in what was presented as the top of the line video surveillance equipment – which in reality didn’t produce enough clarity to identify the intruders the next time it happened. At that point, Fernandes realized he knew all about imaging and knew he could do much better. Fernandes sold his company, Qimage, for a very healthy $20 million and started a new company called Avigilon with just two employees. The objective of this new venture was to up the caliber of surveillance systems to the highest possible standard. Now seven years later Avigilon is considered an industry leader. This Metro Vancouver company has created the highest-resolution cameras in the industry, backed up by cutting-edge software, using the provincial government’s small business venture capital programs to raise nearly $7 million to help fund research and development. To say this company is a huge success is putting it mildly. Avigilon has more than 10,000 systems installed in over 80 countries around the world, including schools, sporting venues, car dealerships, malls, trains and airports. A direct beneﬁt is the 150 jobs created, with 75 of those located here in the Lower Mainland, plus a sales force scattered around the world selling Avigilon systems as fast as the Richmond plant can produce them. And they are not ﬁnished yet. The company is expanding fast, hiring an average of three or four people a month and attending university career fairs to attract top talent. The future is very bright for this company whose principal turned a problem into an idea and then into a very successful company. A healthy high-tech sector also attracts investors who are impressed by the industry’s performance. Revenues have more than tripled in the decade leading up to 2007, and were up another 4.4% by 2009, to $18.9 billion. Currently, investors receive a 30% refundable tax credit,

supporting up to $100 million in investment every year. The provincial government, seeing the role they can play in this fast growing sector, will increase the value of this program by $3 million, allowing more individuals known as ‘angel investors’ to put their own capital directly into eligible small business, and to offer strategic expertise. B.C. firms attracted more than 19% of Canada’s venture capital investments in 2010, with B.C. the top province in life sciences venture capital investments. High technology wears many hats. The BC Cancer Agency is a world leader in cancer research, and B.C. is North America’s third-largest centre for film and TV production, averaging $1.2 billion in spending per year, 80% of which is foreign money. The global entertainment and media industry is expected to grow by five per cent a year to 2014, when it will hit $1.7 trillion. B.C. is well positioned to take advantage of this growth. The high-technology industry is not an island. This sector supports B.C.’s entire economy by helping other industries become more innovative, productive and globally competitive. Digital media and interactive gaming technologies are being used in education, agriculture, mining and health care. Other impacts are more global. With an estimated 5.3 billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide – India and China added 300 million subscribers in 2010 alone – the demand for digital, wireless and screen-based entertainment is immense. These two countries, India and China, are undergoing mass movements to urbanization, which also gives B.C. opportunities to offer them clean, efficient energy, waste reduction and health-care solutions. B.C. is perfectly aligned to supply a healthy portion of this demand in the coming years. Airplane sales around the world are expected to reach $US3.6 trillion over the next 20 years to replace aging planes and expand fleets, providing opportunities for our advanced manufacturing sector. Plus, as a climate change leader, we are at the forefront of renewable energy technology development. Finding new markets for our solar, wind, biomass and other technologies can help turn B.C. into a cleantech powerhouse. As Canada’s Pacific Gateway, B.C. is strategically located to reach growing global markets. In addition, B.C. is close to technology and entertainment hubs in Los Angeles, Silicon Valley and Seattle. Under the BC Jobs Plan, the provincial government will work with the federal government to meet our workforce needs and expedite the immigration process for researchers and scientists in other parts of the world who want to bring their expertise to British Columbia. B.C.’s fast-tracked immigration process through the Provincial Nominee Program encourages firms to locate in B.C. so they can hire experienced business immigrants. The B.C. government’s focus on this sector, identified as one of the eight key sectors with the greatest opportunity to bring new dollars into our economy from our most important trading partners, helps nurture an industry that has immense potential to accelerate growth throughout the province.
