HOME INVASION
Dan FERGUSON Black Press
Tracie Ellerman found the 12-centimetre bronze disk next to some worn steel-toed boots in an old wooden chest in the cellar of her 100-year-old Fort Langley home. It showed an image of Lady Britannia with the British lion and two dolphins representing Britain’s sea power standing over a defeated eagle representing Germany. Around the outer edge of the medallion was a message – “He died for freedom and honour” – and a name: James Brition Vacher. It was 1999, and Ellerman was in the middle of extensive renovations, so she put the disk to one side. “I didn’t really know what it was,” Ellerman says. “I thought it was kind of neat and hung on to it, and kind of forgot about it.” It would be more than a decade before she would learn the origins of the disk, courtesy of Steve Cole, whose curiosity led him to conduct some online research.

United Way short of goal GET AHEAD OF THE GAME
Fundraising campaign dropped off in November Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
United Way Fraser Valley has fallen short of its fundraising goal for the first time in several years and has issued a plea to boost donations. Lori Masse, director of resource development, said the organization is currently about $20,000 away from the $825,000 target for its 2011 campaign. The campaign runs from September to December, and 79 per cent of the funds come from employee payroll deductions. Another 19.6 per cent is from corporate donations, while the remaining 1.4 per cent is from individuals contributing outside of a workplace program. Masse said the campaign started well in the first two months. Several participating businesses significantly increased their donations from the previous year. For example, Corrections Canada was up $15,000, Costco was up $18,000 and TD Canada Trust doubled its contribution from $13,000 to $26,000. “In mid-November, we were up $30,000 from where we were the previous year ... Then all of a sudden, something happened,” she said. Donations tapered off in November and December. Masse said part of the reason is that many employees from partici-
pating businesses retired last year and are no longer part of the payroll deduction program. But other factors aren’t so clear. Masse said the shortfall will most likely be reflected in the number of “priority grants” that the United Way will be able to issue. These are awarded to groups that address one of three areas: the success of children ages newborn to six, poverty reduction, and homelessness and affordable housing. Masse said the United Way has committed to providing $125,000 in these grants for 2012, but the requests amount to $300,000. The organization also provides funding to about 30 agencies in Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Mission, Chilliwack, Kent, Harrison, Hope and Boston Bar. These agencies include Abbotsford Community Services, Abbotsford Peer Support, MSA Society for Community Living and Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley. Masse said 14.4 per cent of the money raised goes toward fundraising costs such as brochures, pledge forms and some staffing.

Soldier’s name on Abby cenotaph Couple hope to return medallion to soldiers’ family From A4

What he found out has led the couple to mount a determined search for the family of the man named on the disk. He was, it turns out, a soldier who fought and died during the First World War. James Brition Vacher was 18 years old when he signed up with the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force on Aug. 30, 1915. The 5’6” brown-haired, blue-eyed Vacher gave his place of birth as Carlyle, Saskatchewan, but he enlisted in Vernon, B.C. He gave his profession VIDLEIONE ON ws.com as “butter maker” and e yn abb on the form where he was supposed to list his next-of-kin, he wrote down his grandmother “Mrs. Ham” and said she lived in Clayburn, a small community located three miles northeast of Abbotsford at the time. Private Vacher was killed in action on Sept. 26, 1916, three days before he would have turned 20. He was laid to rest in the Regina Trench Cemetery in France, which means he likely perished during the Battle of the Ancre Heights, when Canadian soldiers waged a back-andforth campaign to wrestle control of the trench away from the Germans. It was part of the Battle of the Somme, the Allied offensive against the Germans that generated more than one million casualties and

Vacher is one of 564 Canadian soldiers laid to rest in the cemetery that straddles the location of the infamous trench. The medallion with his name is
called a Dead Man’s Penny or a Blood Penny and was cast in bronze gunmetal. Presented to the next-of-kin of the men and women who died during the First World War, it deliberately omits the rank of the slain soldier to show equality in their sacrifice. It was usually accompanied by a scroll and a message from King George V, that said, “I join with my grateful people in sending you this memorial of a brave life given for others in the Great War.” Just over 1.1 million were produced after the war. Ellerman and Cole want to return the penny to the surviving relatives of the late Vacher, but their search has hit a wall. They know that Vacher’s name is on the Abbotsford Cenotaph, but they have been unable to determine if he has any family in the area. Ellerman says the fact Vacher listed his grandmother as next-of-kin may mean that he had no other living relatives, but she and Cole are hoping that isn’t the case. “I would love to think that there’s someone out there,” Ellerman says. “If it belonged to someone in my family, I would love to get it back,” Cole says. If you have any information that would help Ellerman and Cole reunite the medallion with the Vacher family, email tracie_e@telus.net.

Gaming request revisited NewsBytes Playtime wants slots eventually increased from 125 to 300 Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
A request for more slot machines will be back before council on Monday. Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman has used his “executive privilege” to ask for the request to be reconsidered. Playtime Gaming, which runs the Chances Community Gaming Centre on Peardonville Road, made a request in January to increase the number of slot machines from 125 to as many as 300. The expansion would occur in stages of 25 or 50 machines at a time, as deemed necessary by the B.C. Lottery Corporation. Council voted 5-4 against giving first reading to the request. Had the request moved forward on the motion, it would have BANMAN gone to a public hearing before final approval. “I ran on a campaign of public input and public consideration, and quite frankly, there are so many charities that are involved, that I think ... council has an obligation to listen to both sides before they make a decision,” said Banman. Chances, in partnership with the Abbotsford Bingo Association, provides hundreds of thousands of dollars in local charitable grants from a portion of the gaming revenue. With that in mind, Banman said the
Chances Community Gaming Centre could house up to 300 slot machines. public needs to have their voices heard. “All I’m asking is that council sit and listen before they make a decision.” Banman said sitting through a long public hearing is the least council can do. “ I think there are plenty of voices on both sides that want to be heard.”
If, after the public hearing, council still refuses to allow expansion, then Banman said he’s “OK with that; at least they listened to both sides.” Council still has to vote on Monday night whether to send it to public hearing. Bill MacGregor was one of the five councillors who voted against going to a public hearing, but said he is willing to listen to the proposal again. “This is part of a process. It’s been brought back for a reason. I’m obligated as a public servant to sit and listen in as impartial a manner as I possibly can,” he said. MacGregor said he wanted to save his comments for Monday’s meeting, but did say he was not happy with how the B.C. Lottery Corporation “runs its business,” adding it limits the number of companies it allows to operate casinos. Art Villa, coordinator of business development for Playtime Gaming, said he’s pleased the subject is going back to council. “We’ve been open for a few years now and perhaps it’s a good chance to let the public have their say in respect to how they feel it’s been received,” said Villa. Monday’s council meeting follows an unrelated public hearing scheduled for 7 p.m. at Matsqui Centennial auditorium. One of the issues to be discussed at the public hearing is a liquor licence request for Chances.

PEDESTRIAN STRUCK
A 15-year-old girl was struck by a van at about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday while using a crosswalk in the intersection of Marshall and McKenzie roads in Abbotsford. Initial reports indicated that the teen was on a bicycle, but Const. Ian MacDonald has since confirmed that she was on foot. He said the girl had the walk signal and was heading south on McKenzie Road, crossing Marshall, when she was hit by a southbound Ford Windstar making a left turn from McKenzie onto Marshall. The collision was at low speed and resulted in minor injuries to the teen, who was treated in hospital and released. The driver was issued a ticket for failing to yield to a pedestrian.
PEPPER-SPRAYED An Abbotsford man was the victim of a pepper spray attack on Monday evening. Police received calls just before 6 p.m. from tenants of an apartment building in the 33400 block of Bourquin Place, saying they could smell a strong odour. Some identified it as pepper spray. Police, fire and ambulance personnel arrived and traced the smell to a second-floor suite. The 49-year-old occupant said two people unknown to him came to his door, peppersprayed him and stole prescription drugs from his suite. Nobody else in the building was harmed.
SUMMER SCHOOL Stats released recently by the Abbotsford school district show that almost 1,700 students attended summer school in 2011. This is the highest number to attend in recent years. They were taught by 74 teachers and 33 teaching assistants. The district reports summer school operated on a break-even budget, with revenue coming from a Ministry of Education grant for each student, fees from international students, and grants from Envision Financial and the Rotary Club of Abbotsford.

Man attacked by UFO: Unidentified Flying Owl Mill Lake walk turns into surprise assault Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Robert Bjegovich was bored, and the crisp, dry night made for a good excuse to get outside on Tuesday. He had just moved from Ontario to Abbotsford three weeks ago, and he did an online search of local parks. Mill Lake wasn’t far from where he was staying with his mom. Robert set off and arrived at the park within minutes, enjoying the tunes coming through his headphones. There was no one else nearby; just another person off in the distance. All of a sudden, Robert felt something sharp dig into the top of his head. He was panicked, thinking someone was attacking him. It stopped as quickly as it started, and Robert caught movement out of the corner of his eye. He turned to face his assailant. It was an owl as big as a turkey. The bird flew into a tree, and perched on a branch

Saturday, February 25th 7:00 pm Sunday, February 26th 10:30 am Agrifair has cut its request for city funding in half. In January, the local organization had asked for $200,000 from Abbotsford to keep the 102year-old event going. However, since then a potential increase in provincial funding has organizers feeling more optimistic. Agrifair has learned that the BC Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch is planning to restore its grant funding to original levels.

The organization had its provincial funding cut from $80,000 to $60,000 last year and were unsure whether any funding would be available this year. Organizers now expect to receive $80,000 with application under the fairs and festivals category. The potential provincial money has allowed Agrifair to reduce its request for city funding to $100,000.

He was relieved to recall that he had received a tetanus shot three years ago and wouldn’t require another one. Two days later, Robert was still laughing about the incident and wondering how common it is for owls to attack humans. He did an Internet search and found wildlife forums where people discuss the possibility that the birds will attack when protecting their territory, particularly if they’re nesting. “But I couldn’t find anybody that had actually been attacked,” he said. Robert wonders if he gives off some kind of vibe that attracts birds. When he first arrived in Abbotsford, a crow tried to grab a fast-food burger out of his hand as he was walking down the street. The bird’s wings slapped him in the face as it flew away. Robert said if he ever comes across that crow again, he has an owl in mind that he’d like to introduce it to.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Lingerie football
Should council approve a request for more slot machines at Chances?
The team is using sex to sell. And that is what our society has bought into. It is really sad that women can’t have the same amount of fans in a sport they are equally good at unless they take off their clothes. Stephanie Shellborn
To answer, go to abbynews.com
You’ll see less clothing on the beach, where girls are just hanging out. The ladies of the LFL are covered, you aren’t going to be seeing nudity, nor will they “take off their clothes.” As for using sex to sell something, it’s in our commercials, advertising, TV and movies. You can’t escape it. Daniel A. Moyer
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Do you approve of hosting lingerie football in the Abby entertainment centre?
Yes, women play football, etc. But only in bras and panties is ridiculous! Sue McLarty
510 RESPONDED:
Abbotsford is no longer a wholesome god-fearing little town, it’s becoming a big city with all the diversity to satisfy its diverse population. Some of us like it that way, some of us don’t. Jeff Redman
YES: 42% NO: 58%
Good riddance to long-gun registry Andrew
Holota
On Point I have an urge to go outside and fire a gun in the air. That would be ill-advised, of course, since it would likely summon the local constabulary. And that would result in the arrest of me and my legally registered long gun – which ought not to be fired discriminately into the air for any occasion, including the celebration of the end of the requirement to legally register long guns (rifles and shotguns). So, I’ll just have to content myself with the satisfaction that an illconceived, outrageously expensive, and largely useless law has been shot down, pardon the bad pun. Wednesday, the federal Conservatives used their majority to scrap Bill C-68, or the Long-Gun Registry Act. I can now go dig up all the guns I had wrapped in oily rags and buried in
plastic pipes in the backyard to avoid registering them. Hey, just kidding. However, I have known some people who talked about doing that. Folks like that scare me. They also wear T-shirts with slogans like “The only way you’ll get my gun is to pry it from my cold, dead hands.” You see? The long-gun registry never did protect us from the whack-nuts. And as for the sane, clearly thinking criminals, who could figure out that registering their guns was probably not advantageous to their nefarious pursuits, the registry was less than useless – it was laughable. And that was why legal gun owners detested the program so much. In order to purchase and/or possess a firearm in this country, one has to take a government-certified safety and handling course. Then one has to apply for a Possession and Acquisition Licence. You’re checked for mental illness, previous murderous rampages, and the like, and if the system is working, the licence isn’t issued. Then you’d have to buy your gun out of the trunk of some shady guy’s car in the bar parking lot.
Lot of good the gun registry did to prevent that... If someone qualified for a licence, legally bought firearms, and years later heard voices telling him to go on a shooting spree, the gun registry was once again, impotent.
The long-gun registry never did protect us from the whack-nuts. In fact, the Auditor General of Canada concluded that the system has been unable to demonstrate how Bill C-68 helped to reduce deaths, injuries and threats to the public safety from the criminal use of firearms. So why did we blow in excess of $2 billion of taxpayers’ money on a program with such obvious shortcomings and dubious value? Because it was largely a PC (politically correct) initiative launched by a Liberal
goverment in a response to public fear of gun violence, especially following the 1989 massacre of largely female students at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. Sadly, since then, there have been other rampages by deranged gunmen, some using legally obtained firearms. The gun registry couldn’t prevent those tragedies. Meanwhile, the far more common gun violence, often committed on public streets as we’ve witnessed here in Abbotsford, has been perpetrated by people who ignore all laws, including those governing guns. One can only imagine how much less gun-related violence this country would have seen in the past 15 years if laws had been toughened to lock up the real guntoting criminals for long sentences, and that $2 billion had been invested in law enforcement initiatives. It’s all money up in smoke now (assuming the senate does its rubber-stamping). After Tuesday’s vote, the Conservative MPs were apparently celebrating too, at a cocktail reception with pro-gun lobbyists. That’s the political equivalent of shooting into the air. Not exactly statesmanlike. Geez, even I know that.

Linking LFL with sexual predators a long stretch
I am writing in response to three letters which appeared in the Feb. 14 edition of The News. First to Gertie Pool: I ask how she manages to survive all the horrible shocks the city has thrown at her over the years, and now the LFL is on her doorstep! There is a simple solution, Gertie – stay away! If I don’t like a function in the city, I stay away. I don’t rant and rave about their right to do what they wish within the law.
Would it appease your sense of decency if they were wearing a two-piece bikini instead of bras and panties? They are wearing more than most women wear at the beach. What you find “obscene, distasteful, offensive and repugnant” is now acceptable. Get out of the cow path, Gertie, there’s a busload of scantilyclad fit female footballs players coming through. To Eleanor Klassen: Our elected officials are elected to be good stewards of our money, not to be the moral
police, as the mayor said. And for you to link the LFL with sexual predators is a stretch so long that even Gertie Pool wouldn’t touch it. To even connect the two is obscene. Finally to Maureen Nicholl: Please run for council in the next elections. We need fresh blood on council, and you are the kind of forward-thinking person needed in order to move Abbotsford forward as the city it is becoming, rather than the sleepy little church town it once was. Terry Short
Where’s freedom of choice?
I have heard all of the talk about the Taboo Sex Show and now the Lingerie Football League coming to town, and wonder what Gerda Peachey, Gertie Pool (Offensive entertainment, Letters, Feb. 14) and anyone else who hides behind a religious motive has in mind for me. Maybe they can suggest an appropriate list of TV shows, movies, and other entertainment for me and everyone else. They seem to think they know what is best. Better yet, they can pick my books to read and burn the rest.

Where does this stop? When did the freedom of choice disappear? If you disapprove of these events coming to town, don’t go. Show the people behind it that it is not something you want before you decide for others. There are many faiths and beliefs in the valley. When are these activists going to start telling these other groups that they are wrong? Faith is not faith without choice. If you were forced to believe, it wouldn’t mean anything. Aaron Wozniak

Scantily clad women not offensive I am so tired of Gertie Pool and others like her (Gerda Peachey included) trying to shove their superior morality down our throats. Is it so difficult for them to understand that some of us are not prudes – we do not consider women, scantily clad or otherwise, to be obscene, distasteful or offensive, nor do we consider women athletes repugnant. My wonderful mother raised me with a healthy attitude towards sex; I am neither
immoral nor depraved. Ladies, I hope you don’t think that you speak on behalf of all Abbotsford residents. You don’t. Some of us can see the lighter side of life and enjoy a live and let live attitude. Feel free to seek out other forms of entertainment, but worry about your own conscience and let us worry about ours. Claudette Martin

GAME 3
An affront to real female athletes
Re: Your article and discussion of morality and economics of the Lingerie Football League using the AESC. As I read this article and comments on the use of this facility by the LFL, I felt compelled as a woman to respond, and to question and clarify some of the content contained in this article, especially since the only woman in this article seemingly portrays this as a positive use of publicly owned and funded space. The city should be concerned about the use of this facility for the LFL, because the issues go far beyond morality and economics. AESC GM Jason Blumenfeld compares this show to a rock concert when in fact, in this day and age, it should be compared to a circus using live animals. Women were declared persons and allowed to vote and now make up the majority of people in this country. We have long struggled with rights guaranteed by law including gender equality,
equity and inclusion. In recent years, lawsuits were filed by young women against municipalities to allow access to playing fields and inclusion on sports teams. These young women are judged on their abilities, not the size of their breasts or physical attributes. Coun. Simon Gibson seemed to be the only person enlightened enough to be speaking for the majority of people in this country, women. He is correct that this entertainment is demeaning to women. It is demeaning and degrading to all female amateur and professional athletes, who have long struggled to be allowed to play sports and be recognized as true athletes. The LFL and this article depict scantily clad, well endowed women with numbers on their breasts, wearing garters and their butt cheeks hanging out. Is this really an appropriate use of a publicly funded and owned building? Is this the message we wish to send to our children? K. Panko
Ashamed of lingerie football team I was shocked to see on the front page of Feb. 10, the sexy picture of the Lingerie Football League team (shocked to learn that there is actually a team like that) and then horrified to learn that they were planning to make Abbotsford Sports Centre their home. Of course AESC manager Jason Blumenfeld can and should expect mixed reactions! It saddens me to think that we have to lower our standards to
this extent in order to become better known and generate more money for an arena that should never have come to Abbotsford in the first place. I’m ashamed to live in a city where this is even considered. Yes, this is very demeaning to women and only tantalizes the sex hunger. I thought soccer, football, etc. was about sportsmanship and talent, and not flaunting the semi-naked female body. Instead why don’t
A11
we concentrate on promoting positive community values? It was interesting to see, on the same front page right beside that picture of the women’s football team, a police warning advising women to take precautions with sexual assault suspects still at large. Exhibition of female bodies during such events will only bring out more sexual assaults. Eileen Dyck

Overhaul health care system
The Fraser Health Region is once again embarking on a review, this time by outside advisers – as if this makes much difference. It will probably cost more. In any case, the cost will be tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the results will be, as with all the previous
expert studies; nil. Please note, the aim is to reduce hospital congestion, not to provide more beds. When the Abbotsford hospital was first envisioned it was to be a municipal hospital of about 400 beds. Over the years, as Abbotsford became a city, the number of beds was reduced in steps to 300 beds – each
step costing hundreds of thousands of dollars for new plans. Then it became a regional referral centre with the cancer centre added, but the number of beds remained the same. Eventually, the hospital was built but only 260 beds were opened; on the advice of experts no doubt. The addition of the
cancer centre was a brilliant move, but would not someone have thought that more beds would be needed also; especially since the hospital now was also to be a regional referral centre? There are many problems in health care besides hospital overcrowding. Examples are walk-in clinics,
Province needs more nurses
Re; Feb. 10 editorial, Health care realities I agree that hallway nursing is not safe for patients. I agree that there are challenges, but I believe that the unsustainability of medicare is a myth. To quote Dr. Robert Evans, UBC economist, that “Medicare spending now takes up about the same share of provincial revenues it did 20 years ago. The problem isn’t uncontrolled public health care spending. It’s uncontrolled private health spending combined with a drop in provincial revenues created by large tax cuts over the years.”
I would also point out that hospital closures such as St. Mary’s and downsizing such as Mission Memorial continue to have a current impact on capacity in Fraser Health. Building thousands of assisted living beds has not addressed the needs of those who require more care than can be managed in assisted living. The latest reports from Canadian Institute for Health Information state that the RN per population figure for B.C. remains the lowest in Canada at 682 per 100,000. When we look at the place of work in
2010 it reports that RN numbers working in community health dropped from 4,859 to 2,907; and numbers working in residential care facilities went from 3,038 to 1,936. I am a community RN. I make the difference between someone living in their own home or needing a nursing home or a higher care setting such as a hospital. When you remove trained nurses who “rescue” those who are becoming ill by predicting, preventing and managing patient health, you have overcapacity in hospitals. Helen Esau Ho

Mission to do own water study The District of Mission is conducting its own water supply and demand study. The study will add local data to the information already being gathered by the Abbotsford/Mission Water and Sewer Commission regarding a future water supply. The purpose of the study is to better understand Mission’s current and future water needs and how these needs impact the regional water system. “The recent discussions about options for future water sources for the region make it important for Mission to have accurate information about what our own community is consuming now and what our growth patterns show we will need in the future,� said Rick Bomhof, Mission’s director of engineering and public works. The Mission water supply and demand study is expected to be complete by late spring 2012.
ROTARY CORNER
FEBRUARY IS WORLD UNDERSTANDING MONTH
One of the primary objectives of Rotary is to build goodwill and promote peach throughout the world. To help others, we must ďŹ rst understand their needs within the context of their own culture, circumstances, and day to day lives. Our local club works with projects internationally. Last year we participated through our District in the building of a school in Afghanistan, and providing materials for the students’ education. This building will provide schooling on an ongoing basis to many children who otherwise would not have an opportunity to attend school. An active member of our club, Ken Funk, a retired businessman, has been personally involved in numerous Rotaplast missions, and is currently a member of their board of directors. These missions involve providing free reconstructive operations to children with cleft lips and/or palates. Each mission assists 100 children, and Ken has been involved in 15 different missions all over the world to-date. He always returns with stories of children’s lives being changed by giving them hope, acceptance and a future.
BC has doubled lumber exports to China in one year. Commodity exports to India were up 74% in the last year alone. Expanding relationships with the world’s fastest growing economies is just one aspect of the BC Jobs Plan. Enabling job creation, supporting small business start-ups, and continuing investments in infrastructure and skills training are just some of the ways the BC Jobs Plan is helping to create jobs for BC families.

Vet warns of raccoon roundworm Abbotsford veterinarian Dr. Elizabeth Borgmann said the public should be aware of a potential health hazard carried by raccoons in the area. She has learned that most of the raccoons in the Abbotsford area carry a roundworm that thrives in their digestive system and causes the masked bandits almost no trouble. However, the worms are a serious hazard to pets, other animals and people. “We are an inappropriate host,” said Borgmann, explaining that the worms may migrate through the bodies of pets and humans rather than staying in the intestines. The worms can cause serious lung problems and fatal brain swelling. She said there are cases in the U.S. where children have died and had severe lung reactions. She said pets are most likely to pick up the worms, and can become sick. She recently saw an opossum that was killed by the worms in Abbotsford. Borgmann explained that raccoons are clean animals that latrine, going back to the same location to defecate. Their latrines can sometimes be found in garden sheds, children’s playhouses and even on the roofs of houses. In nature, they are often found between logs or rocks, and on stumps. Raccoons tend to prefer areas that are above
the ground, and flat surfaces. Latrines are unlikely to be in the middle of a lawn. These latrines would be dangerous for pets or people to come into contact with. They can contain worm eggs, which develop into an infectious form in two to four weeks, and can survive in soil for years. She said the simple answer is to dispose of the latrines if they are found, and to keep pets on a regular monthly deworming program, which will clean all parasites from their intestinal tract. The website asktheexterminator. com recommends the following when cleaning a raccoon latrine: T Be sure to avoid direct contact with the feces. T Wear disposable gloves made of rubber, plastic, or latex. Also wear disposable booties or rubber boots that can be scrubbed and left outside. T Wear a N95-rated dust mask available at hardware stores or safety supply stores. The masks will help to prevent accidental ingestion of eggs or inhalation of fungal spores or dust. T Lightly spray the latrine area with water or bleach to reduce the amount of dust coming from the latrine pile. T Shovel feces and any other contaminated material into a heavyduty plastic garbage bag.

In a previous article, I talked about how our courts assess general or “non-pecuniary” damages for pain and suffering for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence. I also indicated that there are multiple categories of damages to which a person may be entitled, depending upon their individual circumstances. In this article, the first of a three-part series on wage loss, we will discuss some of the aspects of how you can recover lost wages and opportunities.
If you are forced to be off work because of injuries suffered in an accident, it is often a simple matter to calculate howmany hours or days you miss from your job because of your injuries, Doug and multiply that by your hourly wage or salary. But what if you are self-employed and have no choice but to work,

of the scenarios that arise in personal injury law, and each of these situations can result in an entitlement to recover damages. The tricky part is collecting the necessary evidence and then piecing it together in order to prove that a loss has occurred. Judges and juries need to be able to look to all the circumstances of a person’s vocational life, including their work history, levels of pay, periods of unemployment, skills, aptitudes and ambitions that may or may not have presented themselves between the date of the accident and injury and the time of trial. When you have a lawyer working for you who is skilled and knowledgeable in the area of personal injury law, he or she can explore all of the relevant factors that may apply to any given case. In my next article, I will discuss in more detail how “net” wage loss differs from “gross” wage loss, and where net wage loss comes into play. Doug is a partner with RDM Lawyers in Abbotsford. He practises in the areas of personal injury and labour and employment law. If you have questions or comments regarding this article, please email legalease@ abbynews.com.
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.

George returns to speak at UFV Dr. Patsy George returns to the University of the Fraser Valley next week as the first speaker in the 2012 President’s Leadership Lecture Series. She will speak on Monday, Feb. 20, in room B121 at 4:30 p.m. on the UFV Abbotsford campus on King Road. Admission is free and the public is welcome. George is a social worker, women’s right activist, and community volunteer. Although retired, she remains a social activist
with a keen interest in social justice and a strong desire to see improvement in the conditions of marginalized people, particularly those from Aboriginal communities. She has received many honours and accolades including the Order of British Columbia (2002) and the Order of Canada (2007). And just last year, she received an honorary doctor of laws degree from UFV. As a social activist with many decades of experience
in the trenches, she’s not surprised by the Occupy movement that erupted in 2011, and sees it as the manifestation of a long-simmering frustration on the part of ordinary people. George cites the Caterpillar Corporation’s recent decision to pull out of Ontario and relocate to Indiana when workers would not take a wage cut as an example of the disproportionate balance of power in an era of free trade. George also hearkens back
UFV signs partner deal with Punjabi University UFV students have gained a new avenue for studies and international opportunities thanks to the recent signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with an Indian university. The MOU was recently signed between the University of the Fraser Valley and Punjabi University in Patiala, India. It will see the universities work together on tasks such as developing diaspora studies programs and courses, exploring common research, and student exchanges. Punjabi University offers programs and research opportunities in science, engineering and technology, humanities, social sciences, performing arts, and sports.

And we all deserve a real living wage, not a minimum wage that can’t support a family.” For more information and event details visit www. ufv.ca/plls or contact betsy. terpsma@ufv.ca.

The hard rock group Megadeth will perform, along with Motorhead, on Monday at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre.
It’s going to get loud at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre on Monday night as Megadeth brings its Gigantour to town. The heavy metal band has been performing for three decades and is currently in the middle of a North American tour that sees the group jump back and forth across the 49th parallel. Easily one of the most recognized names in hard rock, Megadeth is touring with the Gigantour for the first time since 2008. Joining them on the road are metal heavyweights Motorhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil. Megadeth features singer/guitarist Dave Mustaine, bassist Dave Ellefson, guitarist Chris Broderick and drummer Shawn Drover. In November the group released its 13th album, appropriately titled TH1RT3EN. Tickets are still available for the Feb. 20 show, which begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available at abbotsfordcentre.ca, charge by phone at 1-866-977-AESC or visit the arena box office.

Director wants to chat
Award-winning director and Trinity Western University professor, Angela Konrad will share her views and experiences with the public on Saturday (Feb. 18). Her presentation, called A Director’s Journey, is part of the Gallery 7 Theatre Society’s series of Theatre Side Chats. “The g o a l of our S i d e Chat series is to go behind t h e KONRAD c u r t a i n and explore why theatre and the arts are so important to our community and to our culture,” said Ken Hildebrandt, Gallery 7’s executive director. “This season, we’ve been looking at what makes an artist tick. Why do they do what they do and why is their work so important to the intellectual and spiritual wellbeing of our community? With this next chat, we’ll be exploring the person and role of the director.” Konrad, winner of
the Jessie Award for her direction of Grace at Pacific Theatre, will be sharing her story of how she became a theatre professional, how she balances faith with the stories she shares, and what it’s like to work in the Vancouver theatre
scene. She is chair of the theatre program at Trinity Western University, where she teaches acting and directing. She has directed many productions at TWU, including The Importance of Being Earnest, Holy Mo, As it is in

CONGRATULATIONS
Dear Parents & Guardians, On February 9, 2012 at the request of the Minister of Education, the Minister of Labour appointed her assistant deputy minister, Trevor Hughes as a “fact-¿nder” in the current teacher-job action. The BCTF and the ADTA have worked hard at the bargaining table and we are hopeful that given time a freely bargained collective agreement can be reached. The current teacher’s job action has had very little effect on the students in our schools; any parent who wants an update on their child’s progress only needs to contact the teacher, all extracurricular activities are continuing and every teacher is in the classroom working with the students. Teachers are calling on the government to continue bargaining in good faith at the provincial table where we feel a deal can be reached. Sincerely, Jeff Dunton President, Abbotsford District Teachers’ Association

Mackenzie Skapski is ranked No. 14 among North American goalies by NHL Central Scouting.
Examining the forces that have shaped Nathan Lieuwen and Mackenzie Skapski in their hockey careers, it’s tempting to wonder if they’re not living the exact same life, only three years apart. Both players grew up in Abbotsford, gravitated to the goalie position, and backstopped the Abbotsford bantam Tier 1 Hawks to a provincial title (Lieuwen in 2006, Skapski in 2009). Both were picked high in the Western Hockey League bantam
Nathan Lieuwen and Mackenzie Skapski share the Kootenay Ice crease, and a history of overcoming adversity
draft by the Kootenay Ice, and these days, they form the netminding tandem for the Cranbrook squad. Heck, they even look a little bit alike, at least in terms of body type. Both are tall, lanky gentlemen – Lieuwen checking in at 6’5”, and Skapski, still growing, at 6’3”. Perhaps the most striking similarity, though, is that both players have had to overcome significant adversity triggered by a vehicle crash.
Nathan Lieuwen leads the WHL in goals against average and save percentage.

T-Wolves upset Brookswood to open playoffs Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
Robert Bateman Timberwolves senior boys basketball coach Virinder Braich wasn’t too proud to admit a bit of sur-
prise in the wake of his team’s 56-46 win over Brookswood in the opening round of the Fraser Valley East playoffs. Braich could be forgiven – he was hardly the only one

upset of the Bobcats, who had gone 2-6 in league play. “We played some great defence in the second half,” Braich acknowledged. “We’re pretty young – we have a lot of Grade 11s – so
we just wanted them to go play hard and do their best. They surprised me.” In the early game, the Chilliwack Storm ended the Mennonite Educational Institute Eagles’ season, win-

ning 76-61. With Wednesday’s victories, Chilliwack and Bateman secured berths in the round of 32 at the Fraser Valley Tournament next week, along with the six teams who had earned first round byes – Yale, W.J. Mouat, Abby Collegiate, Walnut Grove, Maple Ridge and Sardis. The balance of the playoff tourney determines the East league’s seeding order for the Valleys. The FV East quarter-finals ran on Thursday, but those results were unavailable at press time. The semifinals run at 6:30 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. on Friday, and the final is set for 8:15 p.m. Saturday. All games are at Walnut Grove.

In September of 2007, Lieuwen was the passenger in a singlevehicle rollover and sustained a concussion. He battled the dreaded head injury for the better part of three seasons, punctuated by another concussion in January 2009, and was passed over twice in the NHL entry draft due to health concerns.
Last season, though, Lieuwen stayed symptom-free, and he authored a memorable campaign. He backstopped the Ice to a league title and a third-place finish at the Memorial Cup, and picked up WHL playoff MVP honours along the way.

(.922), to go with a sparkling 24-13-4-2 record and three shutouts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to take what I learned in the playoffs last year and apply it to my game this season, and so far itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been working,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First and foremost, I think confidence is a huge thing . . . Once you have that confidence in your mind, you can occupy it with other things. And the more experience you gain, the more things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aware of that can happen on the ice, and that helps.â&#x20AC;? Lieuwen, in his final season of junior hockey eligibility, has relished taking on a mentoring role with Skapski. The soft-spoken veteran tries to lead by example, and his actions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost on the younger goalie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool to see his intensity before a game, and his mental preparation,â&#x20AC;? Skapski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sit beside him in the room, and you can really see the desire in his eyes. And that builds a desire in me, too.â&#x20AC;? Skapski has seen limited action behind the workhorse Lieuwen, posting a 7-5-0-2 record with a 3.12 goalsagainst average and an .889 save percentage. But NHL scouts believe he has potential â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was ranked No. 14 among North American goalies in the Central Scouting midterm rankings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the journey Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely rewarding,â&#x20AC;? Skapski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a number at the end of the day. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be focused on improving my game, and the rest of it will shape up.â&#x20AC;?

the sixth round. Skapski, in many ways, can relate. On Dec. 11, 2009, he was on the bus with the Fraser Valley Bruins major midget squad when in hit some black ice just south of Williams Lake, skidded off the highway and landed on its side. Skapski suffered the most serious injuries of anyone on the team. He sustained a broken nose and a fractured orbital bone, and had surgery to place a couple of plates in his cheek and to remove a blood clot beside his brain. During his convalescence, he lost 30 pounds, dropping from 155 to 125. But Skapski battled back, and by December 2010, he was representing Team Pacific at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. Last fall, he cracked the Ice roster, where he serves as backup to Lieuwen, his predecessor in so many ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see each other every day, and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anything of it,â&#x20AC;? Skapski mused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of scary when you really look into it, how similar our career paths have been. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to have a guy like that in front of me. Coming into a league with high demands and high pressure, he can kind of understand where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m coming from.â&#x20AC;? Listening to Skapski, 17, talk about Lieuwen, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear he looks up to his 20-year-old crease counterpart. As role models go, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much better. Lieuwen has picked up where he left off last season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading the WHL in goalsagainst average (2.28) and save percentage

Life is short slow down! “Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”
that will vanish.
What is tomorrow? We are here for a moment and then we are gone. We need to slow down. Smell the roses. Enjoy life and take time to rest. There are many opportunities out there.
The mentality is that bigger is better. We think that the more we have the happier that we will be. Greed and a lack of human responsibility are leading our world into a global crisis.
Life is short and time does fly. We work the majority of our life. We can live within our means or we can just accumulate stuff
Human responsibility becomes crucial in our society. Taking personal responsibility is paramount.
Most of our universe is in poverty. We go beyond food, shelter, and clothing to wanting stuff.

Peter Gerhard Dueck passed away peacefully on Friday, February 10, 2012 in Vancouver, BC. He was born June 15, 1925. He immigrated to Canada from Russia, as a child. He grew up in Bossevain, Manitoba and moved to the Fraser Valley as a young man. He met his wife, raised his family and spent most of his years in Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Peter lived his final years with Lena in Vancouver. He is survived by his loving wife, Lena, with whom he shared 62 wonderful years. They had six children, Karen Low Ah Kee (Noel), Kenneth Dueck, Beverly Durvin (Rick), Elaine Tessarodeceased (Jim), Warren Dueck (Lynne) and Robert Dueck (Sharon). Peter was also blessed with twenty grandchildren and one great grandchild. He loved his family and was never more pleased than to be with them at family events. Peter was a man that influenced many through his business and his faith. He had the courage to do what others believed couldn’t be done. He saw past the immediate with a vision of the future. He was a generous man with his time and wealth and expected nothing in return. Peter was a successful entrepreneur, co-founding Dueck Building Supplies with his father and brother, in 1949 and building it into a thriving business with stores throughout the Fraser Valley. He started and acquired several businesses. They included manufacturing with sales in Canada and around the world and real estate projects in Canada and the US. Locally his vision led to the development of the Seven Oaks Mall, West Oaks Mall and Clearbrook Town Centre in Abbotsford. Peter dedicated his life to sharing his Christian faith with family, friends and colleagues. He took the leadership of Campus Crusade for Christ in Canada and served twenty years on the board of Briercrest College and Seminary in Saskatchewan. He was a long-time supporter of various other Christian ministries across Canada and abroad.
