A B.C. Supreme Court judge has sentenced Jarrod Bacon of Abbotsford to 12 years in prison for conspiracy to traffic cocaine, saying he is “committed to a criminal lifestyle” and has shown no remorse for his actions.

Bacon, 29, declined to comment when asked by Justice Austin Cullen at the beginning of Friday morning’s proceedings in Vancouver whether he had anything to say, and shook his head at the ruling but showed no further reaction.

Taking into account double credit for the two years and five months Bacon has already served, his remaining jail time amounts to seven years and two months.

Crown counsel had recommended a term of 21 years, while defence had said eight years would be more appropriate.

Cullen denied Crown’s request that Bacon serve half his sentence before being eligible for parole, meaning he can apply for parole after having served one-third of his time.

Cullen said he was giving Bacon the “high end” of a drug conspiracy sentence due to the considerable amount of cocaine – 100 kilograms – that Continued on A3

Van Dongen seeks intervener status Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen filed an application in B.C. Supreme Court yesterday, seeking intervener status in the auditor general’s lawsuit against the B.C. government.

In that lawsuit, auditor general John Doyle is seeking a court order entitling him to see all documents related to the $6 million in legal fees the province picked up in the case against Dave Basi and Bobby Virk. The pair pleaded guilty in October 2010 to providing insider information in the 2003 $1 billion sale of BC Rail, and to receiving benefits for the information.

The auditor general is also seeking all documents related to other cases where government employees have had their legal fees paid.

A key issue in the lawsuit is whether claims of confidentiality or lawyer-client privilege prevent the auditor general from obtaining access to certain documents and information.

If van Dongen is granted intervener status, he will be able to make oral and written submissions in the auditor general’s lawsuit. In his notice of application, van Dongen said he is seeking such status because he can “provide insight and analysis” on some of the issues raised in the lawsuit, due to his “extensive experience” as an MLA and former government minister.

The court documents state that van Dongen has been seeking answers from the government since he first

learned that the legal fees had been waived for Basi and Virk.

“The applicant was deeply troubled by the government’s decision to ignore calls for a public inquiry into the BasiVirk legal fees indemnity waivers,” the documents state.

In a prepared statement issued after he filed the notice, van Dongen said full disclosure by the government is crucial.

“If the auditor general were not able to conduct a thorough performance audit of the disbursement and receipt of taxpayer money, and to report without restriction on that audit to the Legislature, the efficacy of his office would be severely impaired, to the detriment of our democracy.”

Van Dongen’s motion will be heard June 1.

The Mystique of

FRAGRANCE FRAGRANCE IS COMPOSED OF 3 LAYERS: 1. The top note is the scent that is perceived immediately upon application and forms the person`s initial impression of the fragrance.

2. The middle note is the heart of the fragrance and can take a half hour to unfold and mix with your body chemistry and oils. It is this note that should most influence your purchasing decision.

3. The bottom note, together with the middle note, are the main theme of the perfume and are usually observed when the perfume fades away. They bring depth and solidity to a fragrance and are typically rich and deep.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT FRAGRANCE LINES? PERFUME is the most concentrated and can last up to six hours. It is the most expensive due to the high percentage of essential oils and should be stored in a cool dry place - never a bathroom. When exposed to light, perfumes will deteriorate and darken in color. Never apply with a finger as dead skin cells and bacteria can transfer into the bottle. Instead, use a cotton swab or cotton ball.

EAU DE PARFUM will last up to three hrs. It can have a consistency of 8-15% alcohol content and has a high percentage of essential oils.

EAU DE TOILETTE will last two to four hours and has 5 - 8% oil content. This is the most popular form as it is fairly long lasting and affordable.

EAU DE COLOGNE has a very small ratio of essential oils and lasts for only one hour. It is meant to be splashed on after a bath or shower. Layering a fragrance with matching body lotion, talc, shower gel or deodorant will increase the longevity.

A fragrance will last longer or may smell better on someone else due to differences in body chemistry. A person with drier skin will find their fragrance holding power shorter. People with oilier skins have more natural moisture to hold in the fragrance.

Teaching in Antigua Teaching life skills through physical and health education is the goal for a group of UFV students in Antigua for the month of May. The 18 students are on the Caribbean island for four weeks for a project titled Champions for Health Promoting Schools.

Consisting of mostly kinesiology and physical education students, the group is being led by kinesiology instructor Joanna Sheppard, who will be accompanied by a research assistant and teaching assistant. From April 27 to May 26, they are teaching in classrooms across the island.

They’ll also be working with students outdoors, doing sporting activities that will incorporate important life skills with each lesson.

On the island, students will be divided into pairs between six schools, where they will teach for the trip’s entirety. At the schools, they’ll be teaching four, 45-minute lessons a day.

An important aspect of the experience is ensuring UFV is taking the proper supplies.

“For the program to be sustainable, we need to bring all of our own resources because we don’t want to be a burden on their resources in Antigua,” said Sheppard.

UFV students brought chalk, paper, pens, crayons, and stickers for the classroom. The materials will be used for the day-to-day teaching.

In the classroom, they’ll be touching on numerous topics, such as health education, critical thinking, and goal-setting.

“Not only are we getting them physically active, but we’re also doing cognitively effective activities to help them make good life choices,” said Sheppard.

On the sporting side, the students are packing soccer balls and basketballs, as those are the biggest sports on the island. They’re also introducing volleyball, thanks to a donation of balls and a net from the UFV athletics department. Many of the other items were sourced by students who collected them from their communities, old

While the program is helping teach important skills to the students in Antigua, it’s also extremely beneficial to the UFV group.

Not only does it help them decide if they want to pursue health education, but is also provides them with perspective.

“It helps show them that our community is a world – there’s more out there than Abbotsford or the Fraser Valley,” said Sheppard. “It opens their mind to the fact that teachers are universal – we all have the same love and passion for teaching children, whether it’s in Antigua or Abbotsford.”

Teen victim beaten and stabbed Four Abbotsford men have been charged in relation to the brutal assault and stabbing of an 18-year-old man on the night of the Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver.

The men are among those included in the latest round of charges recommended by the Vancouver Police Department in relation to the riot on June 15, 2011. All four face charges of assault and participating in a riot and assault.

One of the men faces a more serious charge of assault causing bodily harm, and another faces additional charges of carrying a concealed weapon and assault with a weapon.

Police say that shortly after the final Canucks playoff game let out, the victim from Abbotsford was approached in the 500 block of West Georgia Street by a group of men aged 18 to 19.

It is alleged that one of the men began assaulting the teen, and the other three quickly joined in.

The victim was knocked to the ground, pepper-sprayed, kicked and punched. Then, one of the assailants allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed him multiple times in the face and body.

Police say quick response by Good Samaritans, police and emergency personnel ensured the victim was quickly taken to hospital. He has since recovered from his injuries.

One of the four assailants has a criminal record, according to police. The others have had several past police contacts.

The VPD announced Friday that it has recommended a further 83 criminal charges against 25 more people who took part in the riot, reaching a total of 200 people facing 592 charges. Seven of them are from Abbotsford.

To date, Crown has approved 226 criminal charges against 85 suspected rioters, and seven have pleaded guilty.

Police cruiser damaged A 55-year-old man who slammed a chunk of wood against an Abbotsford Police car Sunday night is now facing charges of mischief, uttering threats and assault.

Const. Ian MacDonald said the incident took place at about 5:20 p.m. in the 2400 block of Center Street after police received a call from a woman who said a rock had been thrown through her window.

She saw the culprit walking away and provided a description, includ-

ing that he was carrying a piece of wood that was about four feet long and two feet in diameter.

When an officer who arrived on the scene tried to get the man to put down the piece of wood, he instead waved it at the officer and then slammed it against a patrol car. The front of the vehicle was damaged and a headlight broken.

The man was arrested after he either threw the wood or it slipped out of his hands, MacDonald said.

Tough Decision, yet a Wise Choice!

Death is a fact of life. When we die, someone will be responsible for our final wishes. It is not an easy task and most people struggle with the difficult decision making. Fortunately, we have the solution for you and your loved ones.

Prearranging your own funeral is a wise and responsible decision. Planning ahead gives you and your family peace of mind, and most importantly, will make things easier for loved ones in their time of grief. By prearranging your funeral you can choose the type of service you want at a cost you can afford. On your death, your family does not have to worry about second-guessing your wishes or paying for a funeral at an emotional time everything is taken care of.

At Dignity Memorial we work with you to plan a service filled with personalized details.

From time-honoured traditions to personal photographs, favourite readings and special songs, you can design the service to be a unique reflection of your life.

We would like to introduce two new products that can help alleviate the financial burden of a funeral. For example, prearranging for someone age 50 years can cost as little as $16 per month. For someone age 60 years it can cost as little as $19 per month. These plans are affordable and they will relieve the financial burden on the family while freezing escalating funeral costs.

To help you begin, we are offering a complimentary Dignity Memorial Personal Planning Guide. In addition, we will extend a 12% savings on the HST for entrusting us with your funeral prearrangements. This will be in effect until May 30, 2012. To receive a copy of the guide please contact a Dignity Memorial provider listed below.

Managing expectations The Conservative government on Wednesday marked one year since it won a majority of seats in the House of Commons.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper pledged to MPs to continue working on the issues the party campaigned on — reducing and eventually eliminating the deficit, making Canada competitive in the world economy, getting tougher on crime and managing the federal government more efficiently.

The Conservatives have now been in power for close to six and one-half years. The first five and one-half were as a minority government, and that taught Harper and his MPs some valuable lessons.

One of the most important is to keep the rhetoric to a minimum and concentrate on getting the job done. It is always better to outperform what is expected, rather than trumpet loudly about what you hope to do, and then not achieve it.

Harper recently put a toe across the line by claiming that a former NDP leader had opposed the Second World War. While he was correct that CCF leader J.S. Woodsworth opposed the war in 1939 (and immediately lost his post as leader), the NDP itself was not formed out of the CCF until 1961 – 22 years later.

Politicians are far better to keep expectations low and make comments that are non-provocative, and deliver more than the public expects. One way to do so is to avoid rhetoric and concentrate on the job at hand.

For the most part, the Conservatives have done that. The deficit is steadily getting lower, there is some effort to reduce the size of government, taxes are not being raised and Canada continues to be in a stronger economic position thant most countries. A steady and careful approach to government is the best way to continue to achieve results.

Revelling in the state of the unwashed Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand There are occasions, I must confess, when on sunny spring mornings I forgo a shower in order to be outside doing yard work prior to the crack of 10 a.m.

In fact there have been entire weekends in which full body ablutions have been neglected for the sake of expedience.

Anyone who finds that lack of cleanliness abhorrent obviously has never been camping, at least not in the wilderness where the ‘bathroom’ consists of nothing more than a secluded mossy log and a splash in the face from a nearby creek.

Maybe it’s the scent of the pine forest that masks it, but only on very extended backcountry stays have I found my companions, or embarrassingly myself, to be somewhat odiferous. That scenario usually results in mutual agreement

that it is time to stand in said freezing cold creek and do a full body wash.

At home, of course, circumstances allow for a hot shower with all the necessities of perfumery.

So it was recently that I entered the curved glass enclosure that graces a corner of “my” bathroom, a shower I might add that once used requires more cleaning to make it pristine than I engage on my own body parts.

Once the grime of a weekend of digging, weed-eating and other garden chores was removed I rolled open one of the shower doors, only to have it fall off its tracks.

A heavy wet door, quickly gripped in equally damp hands in a very enclosed space to prevent it from shattering across the bathroom made for some interesting gyrations, particularly when one is naked.

Safely propped in a corner, and then dried and dressed, I took a look at what went wrong.

One of the little wheeled carriages that support the unit in its track had parted company with the door.

Attending the big box store from which it was purchased for a replacement part, I was emphatically informed that “we don’t carry parts . . . you have to contact the manufacturer.”

Great, I thought, I have no idea who made the shower, since the paper

Anyone who finds that lack of cleanliness abhorrent obviously has never been camping... sticker attached to it had long since been removed. That meant, left to my own devices after the essential brushoff from the store staff, I had to hunt down the make and model on the racks, jot down the necessary information and the all-important 800 number, all the while envisioning a lengthy and potentially unwashed wait for the parts

to arrive.

The next morning I’m on the phone to somewhere in the eastern U.S., who referred me to their Canadian division by provision of yet another 800 number.

I’d been through this before, ordering a defective barbecue part from Texas that took 10 weeks to arrive.

Visions of spray cans of deodorant accompanying my every move for most of the summer, I connected with the Montreal office of my shower manufacturer.

So it was music to my ears, and a potential blessing to those who might have come in close proximity to me in the ensuing days, that the cheerful person at the other end of the phone said “not a problem, I’ll send you a complete set of new parts . . . they should be there within three to five days.”

We had a good laugh over my perceived predicament (actually there are other showers in the house), and she even called me “Sweetie” at the end of the conversation.

letters Vote splitting dangerous The result of two recent provincial byelections has provided a brutal reminder of what happens when B.C.’s free enterprise vote is split: The NDP get elected, and that’s bad news for our economy and for private sector job creation.

I sincerely hope that once this

message sinks in with voters, along with the realization that our province’s future depends on having a government capable of keeping B.C.’s economy strong and resilient, there will be hope that B.C. can continue to flourish.

Chasing the Calder Cup Milwaukee Admirals photo

With the Heat’s playoff run now into the second round, we take stock of the top storylines

Kolanos sparks Heat to sweep

Taylor making a name for himself

Rookie Reinhart steps up

Coach Ward’s stock soars

Krys Kolanos, the Heat’s leading scorer during the regular season, was unstoppable during Abbotsford’s first-round series with the Milwaukee Admirals.

The veteran forward racked up eight points (four goals, four assists) to lead the Heat to the first series sweep in franchise history.

“Krys is a money player,” Heat head coach Troy Ward analyzed. “He always wants to be on the ice when the game’s on the line . . . He feels like he can change the outcome of the game.

“The big thing about Krys versus a lot of guys at this level is, you’ll find a lot of guys aren’t really sure they want to be out there when things are kind of hairy. But Krys always wants to be out there.”

The second round has been tougher sledding for Kolanos, as the Toronto Marlies have limited him to just one assist over the first three games.

Journeyman goalie Danny Taylor (pictured above) has suited up for 12 different teams since turning pro in 2006, but he’s found a home in Abbotsford.

With Leland Irving, the Heat’s 2010-11 MVP, spending much of the campaign up with the Calgary Flames, Taylor stepped in and performed admirably. And with Irving unavailable at the end of the regular season due to the birth of his first child, Taylor sparked the team on a winning streak that netted the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.

When the playoffs began, it was Taylor who got the nod, and he came through with flying colours, backstopping the Heat to four straight wins.

Taylor stumbled in Game 2 of the second round against Toronto, allowing four goals, prompting Ward to give Irving a shot in Game 3. But the 26-year-old goalie has made a strong case for a contract next season.

Max Reinhart joined the Heat at the tail end of the regular season, after his junior campaign with the WHL’s Kootenay Ice wrapped up, and he wasted little time making an impact.

The 20-year-old centre made his pro debut in the regular-season finale against the Marlies, and scored two goals.

He was a healthy scratch early in the playoffs, but distinguished himself in Game 1 of the second round against Toronto. Reinhart led the Heat to a 3-1 victory, notching a goal and an assist to go with a team-high five shots on net and a +2 rating.

“The one thing about Max is, he finds himself to always be in positions to make an impact on the game,” Ward said.

“We’ve seen him now, in a short amount of time, score some goals at this level, and that’s not by coincidence. That has to do with his hockey intelligence.”

Troy Ward’s impressive work in his first season at the helm of the Heat has earned him significant buzz as a candidate for NHL head-coaching openings.

The Calgary Flames, the Heat’s NHL parent club, are among those in search of a new bench boss after parting ways with Brent Sutter. General manager Jay Feaster has lavished praise on Ward for his work in Abbotsford, and confirmed he’ll be considered for the vacancy.

Ward led the Heat to a franchise-record 42 victories during the regular season – all the more noteworthy considering the AHL trimmed its schedule from 80 to 76 games this year.

Abbotsford’s 11-game winning streak running from the end of the regular season into the playoffs was also a team record, and it’s clear the Heat have taken on the character of their even-keel, process-oriented head coach.

In each edition of the Abbotsford News's Faceoff magazine, beat reporter Dan Kinvig chats with head coach Troy Ward about the state of the team.

We spoke with Ward last Saturday, prior to Game 3 of the Heat's second-round match-up with the Toronto Marlies.

Q The playoffs are a productive period for player development, and I imagine it's also a growth opportunity for coaches. How do you learn and grow at this time of year?

have to be a little more aware of instead of throwing them over the boards, so to speak, it has to have a little more method to the madness at this time of year.

“Match-ups become more important.

But they became more important in early March for us, because we were trying to get ourselves into a playoff spot. The last five years I’ve been in this league, the playoffs usually start in early March.

That’s how it’s been for our team.”

“But you’ve also got to be a good enough coach to realize that you can’t get too hung up on that (match-ups). Sometimes you’ve just got to let boys be boys – let them play and let them grow up.”

A “It’s about managing your bench a little bit differently than you do in the regular season. You’ve got WARD to be more aware of match-ups and Q Your team got off to a in-game situations. great start in the playoffs.

DRINKING WATER WEEK

Here in BC we often take our tap water for granted, but it is a finite resource that we should value and protect.

MAY 13-19

We need to value our drinking water

WATER RESTRICTIONS MAY 1 - SEPTEMBER 30

MAY - SEPT TWICE WEEKLY SPRINKLING BETWEEN 6am - 8am ONLY Even addresses: Wed & Sat Odd addresses: Thurs & Sun

methods in your area.

We invite you to get involved and learn more about your water. Start by taking the Community Water Challenge and pledge to be water wise. By incorporating practical actions into our daily routines, we can make a difference.

Visit www.drinkingwaterweek.org to find out about Drinking Water Week events in your area, and to download activities and educational resources provided by BC Water & Waste Association.

Take the challenge and WIN!

Are you water wise? Take the Community Water Challenge and enter to win an exciting water-themed getaway courtesy of the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel and Helijet! It’s simple – just pledge to take one of the water wise actions below. Make your pledge at:

drinkingwaterweek.org/challenge Be Water Wise: ■ Limit your shower time to 5 minutes per day.

■ Install a low-flow fixture or appliance.

Look for the WaterSense label on retail shelves across BC. ■ Return unused or expired medications to the pharmacy for proper disposal.

■ Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving and doing dishes.

■ Dispose of household wastes such as cleaners, paints and grease responsibly, instead of putting them down your sink or toilet.

True and False: Test your water knowledge – take the quiz!

Did You Know?

1. British Columbians use more water than other Canadians.

T__ F__

2. Fats, oils and grease may be properly disposed of down drains or toilets.

T__ F__

3. The best way to achieve a healthy lawn is by watering lightly several times a week.

T__ F__

ANSWERS: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 426 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 329 litres of water per day (nearly double what Europeans use!)* 2.

Tips to Conserve & Reserve • Use a rain barrel.

• Lawns only need 1 inch of water every 7 days to stay green in the summer.

• Leave grass at least 3 inches long. Longer grass retains more moisture and requires less watering.

• Use a spring loaded shut-off device on all hoses.

• Use mulch, so water moisture is retained in the soil longer and plants stay cooler in hot weather.

• Use a broom, not the hose, to clean walkways and driveways.

In the wake of a 4-1 home-ice loss to the Toronto Marlies on Saturday evening, the Abbotsford Heat find themselves trailing in a series for the first time in these Calder Cup playoffs.

But don’t expect Troy Ward to reach for the panic button.

In fact, to listen to the Heat head coach talk, he’s not certain as to the location of said button. He may not even be aware of its existence, metaphorical though it may be.

Abbotsford has yet to solve the Marlies’ top-

goal just 58 seconds into the game.

But on both fronts, Ward offered spirited post-game defences. He liked Irving’s play “a lot,” and he pointed out he evaluates the power play based on the number of scoring chances generated. Ward felt the Heat were much better in that department on Saturday than they had been in Game 2, when they went 0-for-9 with the man advantage.

“We’re down 2-1 (in the series), but we feel awesome,” Ward asserted. “You guys (the media) might be a little down, but there ain’t nobody in that room down. We liked our game. They didn’t get out of their end at times, we did some good things on the forecheck.

“You’ll find us all energized on Tuesday and ready to go (for Game 4). We’re excited. They’re the two seed – why shouldn’t we be excited? They’re an unbelievable team.

We just keep coming at them. We love this (stuff). Seriously. We love it.”

Irving, who watched from the bench as Danny Taylor started the Heat’s first five playoff games, got off to a rough start, as the second shot he faced found the back of the net. Marlies forward Nazem Kadri did the deed, sweeping around the net and tucking in a wrap-around.

Matt Frattin doubled Toronto’s lead at the 11:43 mark of the first.

The red-hot Frattin, who has scored in each of the three games in the series, stole the puck from Clay Wilson in the neutral zone, then swept in and fired a wrist shot from the left circle that deflected off Heat defender Chris Breen’s stick and went over Irving’s glove.

The Heat got to Scrivens early in the second, as Dustin Sylvester tipped in Wilson’s point shot at the 2:21 mark.

The hosts were pressing for more, and nearly got the equalizer when Greg Nemisz and Max Reinhart got away on a two-on-one break. Nemisz sent a pass across, but Reinhart couldn’t get a stick on the puck.

the Marlies restored their two-goal cushion against the run of play. Marcel Mueller came busting down the left wing and fired a shot that Irving got a piece of. The puck dribbled through the crease, and Philippe Dupuis fought through a check to jam it in at the far post.

Irving came up with a massive stop late in the frame to keep his team in it, stoning Greg Scott on a shorthanded breakaway with a highlightreel glove save.

Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comeback effort was blunted by a trio of penalties in the final frame, none of which the Marlies scored on. But just after the third penalty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a cross-checking call on Brett Carson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; expired, Mueller put the game out of reach, tapping in a sweet feed from Ryan Hamilton.

Lieuwen signs with Sabres

A29

Local prospect excited to start pro career Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Abbotsford-bor n goalie Nathan Lieuwen celebrated a major milestone in his hockey career on Saturday, when he signed his first NHL contract with the Buffalo Sabres.

“It’s exciting to be able to move on to the pro ranks,” said Lieuwen, who inked a three-year, two-way pact with the Sabres which will likely see him start his career with one of Buffalo’s minor-pro affiliates – the Rochester Americans (AHL) or the Gwinnett Gladiators (ECHL).

“To become a professional athlete is obviously something every kid dreams of, and to be starting that journey now is pretty exciting.”

Lieuwen, age 20, is closing the book on a fascinating junior hockey career with the Kootenay Ice of the Western Hockey League. His early tenure with the Ice was marred by multiple concussions that affected him for the better part of three seasons, and he was passed over twice in the NHL draft.

He finally shook the symptoms prior to the 2010-11 campaign, and staged a breakout, earning WHL playoff MVP honours after leading the Ice to a league title and a third-place finish at the Memorial Cup. The Sabres took notice, picking him in the sixth round (167th overall) of the entry draft last June. After Lieuwen fashioned another stellar season in 2011-12 (27-20-8 record, 2.50 goals against average, .914 save percentage), Buffalo deemed him worthy of a contract.

Lieuwen expects the transition to pro hockey will be a challenge, but he’s not daunted by it.

“Of course I understand it’s going to be a step up – better players and better

shooters and everything,” he said. “But you also get to play with better players.

“My kind of mentality is, you’re always

learning. The learning curve my change every once in a while, but you’re still learning and going in the same direction.”

In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery, BCUOMA has built a strong support network across the province. Today, participation includes 209 brand-owner members, 39 collectors and processors, 520+ return collection facilities and more than 4,000 generators. In addition, BCUOMA is reprising its successful ambassador program this summer – with two ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling.

Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are not household garbage we can simply throw out, more than one million litres of used oil ends up in BC landfills every year. When you consider that it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a million drops of water, the problem is clear: there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore.

BCUOMA is a non-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers.

Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

Protecting our province from the harmful effects of used oil and antifreeze must be a responsibility we all share, together. So please, next time you look to dispose of used oil or antifreeze materials, find a collection facility near you. Here are three easy ways to do so:
