It’s been a little more than a year since a ‘surprised’ Ed Fast learned that he had been named to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet. On May 18, 2011, the Abbotsford MP was appointed to serve as Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway. It’s been a busy year for Fast, who said he had to deal with a big learning curve, while travelling to more than 30 countries. In that year, his job description has “been expanded dramatically.� “The prime minister asked me to take on the role of being Canada’s champion of trade, and it’s a huge responsibility. It requires me to travel much more than I even thought,� said Fast. His international travel schedule has included China, India, Thailand, Russia, Brazil, Columbia and Mexico. His role as Abbotsford’s MP is still a top priority for Fast, who said he only spends “somewhat less time� in his constituency. His office still deals with local issues, including those regarding immigration, visas or pension concerns. “One of the things I think Abbotsford residents probably should remember is that the work I do for Canada directly benefits Abbotsford.

A proposed Canada European Union Trade Agreement (CETA) has been at the centre of controversy as several groups feel the deal will not be beneficial to Canadians and have been outspoken in their opposition. Fast dismisses those claims. “There’s always controversy because there is a very small minority of anti-trade activists.� He said some people are ideologically and fundamentally opposed to trade, adding that protesters have opposed every free trade agreement Canada has ever signed into law. “They are shrill and they are dusting off the same old claims they made over 20 years ago when we were first negotiating the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement.� He said back then, the same groups alleged that Canada would lose its sovereignty over fresh water, lose Canadian culture, lose millions of jobs and that the deal would hollow the economy. Fast said none of those claims came to fruition. “Canadians can compete with the very best in the world and win.� He called trade a key driver of economic growth for Canada and the “new stimulus� for the Canadian economy. “We have made a very clear commitment to Canadians that we will only enter into negotiations and only sign agreements that are in Canada’s best interests.�

Residents take aim at city

Neil CORBETT

Abbotsford News

Hot rural residents vented some steam at Abbotsford council on Tuesday evening. Some 300 rural residents packed Bradner Hall on Tuesday evening for a town hall meeting that lasted more than three hours, but covered only two topics: ditching and a proposed 225-acre industrial park. The language was often colourful. Council was told to “stuff it,” and twice Mayor Bruce Banman reprimanded people who used profanity. Dawne Marie Stappler, noted that if Abbotsford could leave the Fraser Valley Regional District, then Matsqui could go back to being separate from Abbotsford – the municipalities merged in 1995. “We want our building (city hall) back, and you can put your offices in the sports and entertainment centre,” she told council. Banman responded: “I’ve got to admit, that’s pretty good.” Banman opened by apologizing to the crowd for a letter the city mailed to rural upland residents, which advised the city would no longer take responsibility for maintaining ditches adjacent to their properties. “I want to apologize for that letter. I read that letter, and if I got it I would want to be

Gilmore Skeels was among members of the public who addressed council during a town hall meeting in Bradner Tuesday night. feeding it through someone’s front teeth,” he said, and received a round of applause. Nonetheless, everyone who approached the microphone was critical of city hall asking rural upland residents – those in Bradner, Mt. Lehman and Sumas Mountain – to either pay a ditching and drainage levy, when it is a service they have always received, or maintain their own ditches, as the letter also suggested. Stappler warned that other municipalities have been sued because of flooding on private properties, and Abbotsford could find itself in legal trouble. “If council can vote 15 and

20 per cent raises for staff, why can they not find money to clean our ditches?” asked Cherry Groves. Rob Isaac, the city director of wastewater, drainage and asset engineering, explained that in 2009 council suggested a drainage levy of approximately $900,000 per year in the areas, and it was opposed by the property owners. Since then, city hall has not maintained the ditches. “Tell us about it,” said one member of the audience. Isaac noted there are about 110 requests that the city address drainage issues in the areas each year – about 100 from Bradner/Mt. Lehman.

Daren Alary, MC for the evening, noted the city had been budgeting approximately $200,000 for ditch work in the uplands, and then went to residents for $800,000. A proposed industrial park, on Abbotsford’s westernmost border, received similar flak. It was criticized by almost everyone who spoke, with detractors saying the development threatens the rural lifestyle in Bradner and removes farmland. The park would involve 22 individual properties, and is being proposed by the Emerson Real Estate Group. City economic development officer Jay Teichroeb explained that getting approvals for the park, which is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, will be a long process, and there will be ample opportunity for future public input. Patrick Selinger, one of the 22 property owners who would sell to the developers, noted his farmland and that of the general area, has thin soil. As farm property, it would only be suitable for raising animals in a barn. He was heckled to the point that Banman had to intervene on his behalf, and finished by urging councillors to consider the facts, and not the “knee-jerk” and “emotional” reactions they will get to the industrial park.

Farm tax change could see city revenue fall by $900,000 Impact of new provincial law equivalent to a local one per cent tax increase Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

Abbotsford may be facing a tax shortfall that could be as high as $900,000, after the province changed the way farm buildings can be taxed by municipalities. Every $1 million added to city budget expenditures roughly represents a one per cent tax hike for homeowners. Coun. John Smith said this change is frustrating for a council trying to hold the line on local taxes. “This is just another hurdle to get over, to reduce budgets generally,” said Smith. Director of finance Salman Azam told councillors Monday night that Abbotsford has more than 700 farm properties that would have taxes reduced by amounts ranging from $5

to $13,700. He estimated the loss to the city will be $850,000 to $900,000 in 2013. Azam proposed three options to deal with the shortfall: 1. All properties in Class 1 (residential) pay a 1.3 per cent higher tax rate in 2013, because the total Class 1 assessment base has decreased. 2. The city reallocate the lost revenue among all property classes based on their current share of the total tax revenue, to “spread the burden,” resulting in an overall tax increase of one per cent in all property classes. 3. The city absorb the impact through reduced programs or service levels. Councillors expressed frustration at being surprised by this change, and will now lobby the province to mitigate the impact. The city received notification of the new law on June 27. Staff said an

earlier advisory from the province pointed to a shortfall of $300,000. The province appointed a farm assessment review panel in 2008. New legislation passed on March 15, 2012. The changes increase the limit on the assessed value of farm improvements exempt from taxation. Previously, that was capped at $50,000, but now rises to either $50,000 or 87.5 per cent of the assessed value – whichever is greater. It affects buildings (improvements), other than dwellings, which are erected on farms and used exclusively to operate a farm. For example, a $1-million greenhouse would now have an exemption of $875,0000, whereas it used to be $50,000. Council will lobby Victoria before choosing among the options available to deal with the impact of the new law.

suffered many, many things ... but today, in 2012, I’m asking people to put their focus and their minds and their thoughts forward for the future ... We need to liberate ourselves from the oppression of the past.” The gathering concludes today. It is hosted by Tsawwassen First Nation and Sto:lo Communities, and is the second consecutive year that the event has been held in Abbotsford. The purpose of the gathering is for elders to share their traditional ways with visiting cultural and linguistic groups through song, dance and ceremonies. Alwin Benson, a carver who had a booth in the vendor portion of the gathering, said it’s important that elders be honoured. “They have wisdom that’s been passed down from generation to generation, so when we speak about elders, we have much respect for them because they have many stories they can pass on.” The event drew participants from dozens of First Nation cultures across the province. It was a way for them to connect with one another, as well as attend meetings, workshops and other activities. For more information, visit 36theldersgathering.com.

OF THE WEEK

BerryBeat Festival

Do you regularly donate to campaigns that are operated door-to-door?

Downtown Abbotsford is such a unique and interesting part of our city. This is bound to make it even better. I would love to someday see the whole area turned into a pedestrian area. The BerryBeat Festival was great last weekend and proves that traffic can find a different way around the downtown.

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Stephen O’Shea

Should ferry rates be increased to reduce public subsidization?

It was wonderful and fun. Lemon Tree Events (that’s me) brought the big strawberry mascot guy to the festival this year. Can’t wait till next year! Darlene Butterfield Boucher

153 RESPONDED:

I wish Mission would do this for our downtown. But the province won’t let us redirect traffic away from First Ave.

YES: 32% NO: 68%

On Point Two potential story leads we recently followed didn’t pan out as the major news stories they were purported to be, but they were good examples of how local non-profit agencies and campaigns often find themselves in competition with obscure groups and initiatives. An organization called the Fraser Valley Grocery Resource Society recently distributed empty grocery bags to about 800 Abbotsford homes, along with a note requesting food donations, and the statement “we support local food banks.” That was news to Dave Murray, the co-ordinator of Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) Food Bank. He hadn’t heard of the “Grocery Society” until a local resident gave him one of the bags and asked if it was associated with the local food bank. It wasn’t. Reporter Vikki Hopes looked into this outfit, which claims on its website to be focused on helping seniors, students and other low-income people.

Turns out they are “stockpiling” the food in donated warehouse space in Surrey. There is no distribution centre, but the president of the society says he hopes to have one set up in Aldergrove. In the meantime, Kelly Fowler confirmed his group intends to sell some of the donated food at reduced prices, and the groceries will be delivered to low-income seniors. Fowler said he wants to focus on seniors because “they get ignored … nobody is taking care of seniors.” The note that accompanies the empty bag for generous people to fill doesn’t reveal that the food may be resold. Fowler says that information is on his website. Murray questions the ethics of selling donated food. So do I. Would you still give to an organization that turns around and sells the groceries to the people it’s supposed to be helping, even at cut rates? I’m guessing many of you would not. As for seniors being “ignored,” that’s not true, according to Murray. The elderly can receive help through the ACS Food Bank or through the Meals on Wheels program, which delivers food to seniors and others who have difficulty leaving their homes. I’m sure local churches also provide aid to the

elderly, or would be quick to help if asked. The second story we followed involved the sale of chocolates by kids. They go door-to-door, selling the candy for a Kelowna-based business. They don’t claim to be a charity, but they do say they are working for a “youth program.” Some of the funds supposedly go to

It’s called donor burnout, and it’s a problem for bona fide non-profit agencies and campaigns. student prizes for good grades, and perfect attendance, and the company website says a laptop computer is awarded monthly to the student who writes the best essay. Despite those ostensibly laudable efforts, the Students 1st group is a business. It has a business licence in Abbotsford, and other communities. They sell chocolates. The kids take a share of the revenue, the drivers who

transport them take a cut, and the business owner presumably makes money from selling the chocolates to the drivers/ distributors. There’s nothing illegal about it. But if you hear some sort of reference to a “youth program” from a nice kid at the door, are you more likely to buy a $4 box of chocolate-covered almonds? Probably. Now what if it was an adult, who said he or she was there to sell chocolates on behalf of a non-local business? Probably not. And what if you bought those chocolates yesterday, and today another nice teen knocked on the door, selling something to raise funds for a local school event or charity? Do you give your support again? And the next time? It’s called donor burn-out, and it’s problematic enough for bona fide non-profit agencies and campaigns, without adding out-of-town groups and business schemes drawing money from a very finite source. The moral of both of these stories is to ask questions before you take the cash out of your wallet. There are countless very good, very legitimate, very local causes out there. There are also some initiatives and enterprises that deserve your scrutiny before you dole out your dollars.

tion of charges against accused rioters. The branch has a dedicated riot prosecution team of six senior Crown Counsel responsible for reviewing and approving charges and managing prosecutions. Note too that more than 300 charges have been approved against more than 120 accused rioters, and another 200 charges are under review. Justice has already been administered for some who have

been found guilty of taking part in the riot. To date, over 30 accused persons – one-quarter of those charged – have pled guilty and two have been sentenced to time in jail. In short, work on these files is focused and thorough, and will continue to be so as more charges are approved and prosecutions initiated.

Africa, was impressed with what he saw. “Very good indeed – this is the type of cattle we breed,” he said. Gordon Stephenson is the GM of the Canadian Hereford Association, which last hosted this tour in 1976. There are 17 nations that are members of the World Hereford Council, and each can bid to host the tour. He said Canadian producers are respected worldwide and are leaders in exporting genetics and live

animals. He was on Denmark’s tour four years ago, and said it is a powerful way to make business connections. From Abbotsford, the tour was to move on to traditional cow towns including Merritt and Kamloops, ultimately making their way to the Calgary Stampede by Thursday, where they will attend the Hereford conference. Then they will move across the prairies, visiting other ranches and operations, winding up the three-week tour in Niagara Falls.

Public consultation this fall on pipeline expansion Wanda CHOW Black Press

The long-awaited public consultation process on the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline is set to start in September, said a Kinder Morgan Canada spokesperson. The company plans to twin the pipeline, which runs from Edmonton to Burnaby, (through Abbotsford), increasing capacity from the current 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 750,000 bpd to allow for increased exports overseas of bitumen crude oil from the Alberta oil sands. Lexa Hobenshield, the company’s external relations manager, said if the expansion

proceeds, 510,000 bpd of that capacity would serve the fixed 20-year contracts customers recently committed to, while the rest would serve monthto-month customers. Those would include Chevron’s Burnaby refinery and others that have struggled in the last couple years with the limitations of a pipeline that has been “oversubscribed.” Hobenshield explained that 25 to 30 per cent of the existing 1,150-km pipeline is already twinned, so the company will be applying to the National Energy Board (NEB) to twin the remaining 900 km.

Kinder Morgan will file its expansion application with the NEB in late 2013, which will include a “potential corridor.” If the NEB

gives the go-ahead to the project, then the company would come up with a detailed specific route which would go through its own NEB

approval process. B u r n aby - D o u g l a s NDP MP Kennedy Stewart has been raising awareness of the

sion plans.” It’s too early to know what the proposed routing is and what properties might be impacted, she said, noting factors to be considered include urban development, geography, such as rivers and steep mountains, and locations between highways and railroads. “In lots of areas it’s not going to be practical to route within the existing right of way,” she said, adding one possibility the company might look at is running the sections of new pipeline within other transportation or utility corridors. Its NEB application late next year will provide a general idea of

where the pipeline may run, she said, noting it will be applying for a 150-metre (492-foot) wide corridor. If approved by the NEB, it would then seek approval for a specific route within that corridor, that typically requires a right-ofway 18 metres (60 feet) wide. It would be another year, around late 2014, before the specifics of the route are determined. In the next couple of weeks, the company will make a commercial tolling application, seeking NEB approval of its fee, or tolling, structure for the postexpansion pipeline, essentially asking it to approve the fees on the

agreements it signed in the fixed contracts. If it receives all the required approvals, Kinder Morgan will spend $4 billion and two years building the expansion, which would then go into service in late 2017. The company will provide updates at transmountain.com and answer questions from the public at info@transmountain. com and 866-514-6700. In Abbotsford, the pipeline runs to a pumping station on Sumas Prairie, up to a tank farm on Sumas Mtn., past the Auguston area, and down to Matsqui Prairie, where it generally follows the Fraser River to Burnaby.

Student’s film wins

Want to know your Abbotsford home’s approximate market value?

Honours gathered at Surrey film festival

Dennis PAGE Contributor

Never Ever, a short film directed by W.J. Mouat Secondary high school student Nicole Provost, won big at the 2012 Surrey International Film Festival. The 17-year-old filmmaker was recognized as the festival’s best director, while Never Ever was named best high school film, and awarded the best of festival against all other competition, including post-secondary films, submissions from local film schools and international selections. Provost was surprised at the success of Never Ever, as it was her first attempt at making a movie, which follows two friends who make a vow to never grow up or stop having fun, but life throws them a curveball. Provost said she was motivated to try filmmaking after hearing about the Surrey International Film Festival last year, when another local student from Yale Secondary won an award for best animation. Provost said the idea for her script came from one of her favourite movies – “A League of Their Own.” Richard Toews, a judge for the festival, said Never Ever had unanimous support as the winner. “It is a very sophisticated film for someone that young.” The lead actress in Never Ever, Katelyn Mager, also won the best actor award. In addition to the awards, Provost will see her movie submitted to other film festivals, and Never Ever will be screened in Beverly Hills at the Charles Aidikoff Theatre as part of the Emerging Filmmakers Forum. Provost is planning to take film studies at UBC this September. The Sur rey International Film Festival is now in

its sixth year – the creation of former film students as a way to interest high school students in filmmaking and bring exposure to student and independent films. To view the short film Never Ever, visit http://vimeo. com/45116867

More history woven into downtown Abby Turn-of-the-century wool machine on display

Dennis PAGE Contributor

A 19th century antique carding machine is the centrepiece of one of the newest businesses in historic downtown Abbotsford. On display at Birkeland Brothers Wool, at the corner of Essendene and Montrose, is “The Old Lady” – built in England and originally used for wool production in a Norwegian factory. The Birkeland brothers, Olaf and Michael, bought the machine and had it shipped to Canada shortly before the Second World War. “To me, she is priceless because of the history behind her,” said store owner

Birkeland Brothers Wool store owner Karyn Waters with an antique carding machine in her shop. Karyn Waters. “She supported the war, and the Birkeland brothers made no money during World War Two because of that.” The carding machine produced wool used for blankets for Canada’s armed forces.

The old machine collects wool clippings and presses them into sheets called batts, which are then used to spin wool yarn and other related products. Waters, whose family also farms sheep, began her ties to the

Birkeland family business as a customer, being a crafter herself, creating dolls, knitting and doing crochet, all of which can be learned in classes offered at her establishment. Waters, who bought the business earlier this year and relocated to Abbotsford after the Birkelands had operated for 70 years on Vancouver’s Main Street, is determined to keep the business family-run and to help support local artists. Birkleland Brothers Wool stocks products from local artisans like SweetGeorgia Yarns and Canadian brands such as Nova Scotia’s Fleece Artist. The shop also provides window display space for local artists.

If you are interested in owning a reptile of the lizarding kind you may be wondering how the heck to care for these lovely creatures. Well, there certainly is a lot to think about, so here are some things to ponder before you venture into the world of reptile ownership: WHAT SORT OF COST AM I LOOKING AT FOR OWNERSHIP? The cost of the animal usually pales in comparison to all the equipment you need to house and care for your lizard appropriately. Make sure you include the cost of buying and maintaining this equipment when you are budgeting for your new pet. WHAT KIND OF LIZARD DO I GET? Research the lifespan and how big your lizard is going to get. Those tiny little hatchlings in the pet store can, in the case of iguanas, get up to 5-6ft in length!! For most beginners, either a leopard

gecko or bearded dragon would be a good place to start. Leopard geckos stay quite small, are easy to handle and don’t require special UV lighting. Bearded dragons will need a relatively large tank and do require UV lighting but are docile, easy to handle and can be quite the little characters! WHERE DO I GET MY LIZARD? Make sure you are getting your lizard from a reputable breeder and that your lizard is captive bred as opposed to wild caught. The quality of your lizard will determine the quality of your experience in owning a lizard. “Rescue” lizards are not recommended for novice owners as they can be quite challenging to try and manage appropriately. The most important thing to remember is to use appropriate resources to research your chosen breed thoroughly and to consult a veterinarian for advice on appropriate care.

Recycling for more electric gear Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Hundreds of additional electrical products – from drills and other power tools to sports equipment such as treadmills – can now be returned to B.C. depots for recycling. The July 1 expansion of the ElectroRecycle program first launched last fall means consumers are also now paying an extra recycling fee when they buy new products that are covered. A laser level sold in B.C. now costs 75 cents more, while the fees are $2.75 for sewing machines and $4.25 for exercise machines. Those charges, which fund the industry stewardship program, are in addition to fees on many other small appliances that kicked in last October, adding $2.25 to the cost of new toasters and blenders, for example, or an extra $10 for a large microwave oven. Whether the fees charged are separately itemized on a bill or are included in a product’s price depends on the retailer. Formerly known as Unplugged, the expanded program now covers virtually all consumer electrical products with a power plug or battery that weren’t already being collected by depots through other programs. It’s the latest in a growing set of takeback programs in B.C. where manufacturers and retailers are required by the province to set up depots to collect and recycle old items, while consumers pay recycling fees. Electrical products dropped off at ElectroRecyle drop-off locations are sent to processors within Canada and separated into different materials for recycling. For a full list of depots and accepted products see www. electrorecycle.ca The website lists Abbotsford Community Services Recycling at 33670 Valley Rd., and R&T Bottle Depot on South Fraser Way as local depots.

Rebels, Bandits clash for first place

Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

Valley Rebels head coach Ted Downey knows exactly what’s at stake this weekend, as his team braces for a massive home-andhome set against the Tri-City Bandits. “If somebody wins both games, you can pretty much sew up first place,� Downey said, savouring the match-up between the top two teams in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association. “They won’t be able to catch you after this.� Heading into the weekend, the Rebels boast the best record on the local senior B boxla circuit, at 12-3-0 for 24 points. The Bandits (11-3-1) are just one point back. The Abbotsford squad will put its firstplace status on the line on Friday, when they host Tri-City at MSA Arena. The two teams clash again on Saturday at the PoCo Rec Complex, and the Rebels wrap up a busy weekend with a Sunday road game against the Royal City Capitals at Queen’s Park Arena. All three games begin at 8 p.m. The games are indoors, but Downey believes the hot weather outside could be a factor. “PoCo is a small arena, and it can be a cooker even when it’s not that warm outside,� he noted. “If we’re going to have good, hot weather, it’ll put pressure on both teams Saturday night.� Downey is a stickler for discipline. Asked what the Rebels needs to do to have success against the Bandits, the veteran bench boss said his squad needs to do a better job staying out of the penalty box. Thing is, they’re already the least-penalized team in the WCSLA at 23 minutes per game. But that’s still too many for Downey. “We’re the lowest in the league, and that still bothers the pants off me,� he said. “We should be way lower than that. I could see many 10 or 15 minutes a game – that, to me,

I would accept. But to still have 10 to 12 minors a game, that just bugs me, because some of the stuff is just stupid.� The Rebels won both of their games last weekend, knocking off the Langley Warriors 10-7 at home on Friday and edging the Nanaimo Timbermen 9-8 on the road Saturday. Sean Kelly had a big game against Langley, racking up five points (two goals, three assists), while Brian Poole (2g, 1a) and Shaun McRae (1g, 2a) had three points apiece. Matt Morehouse picked up the win between the pipes. A g a i n s t Nanaimo, Graham Wiedenhammer notched four points (1g, 3a) and Kelly had two key third-period goals, while Brandon Mulligan was terrific in net.

in the final. Picketts scored a try in the gold medal game. “It was such a great bunch of girls,” Fraser Valley coach Jen Ross said. “They lived up to our expectations of them. It didn’t come down to the coaching – they probably could have coached themselves. They were so talented, and had so much maturity. “It was a seamless transition from their school year to the rep season.” Arthur, Picketts, Pihl, Van Veld and Borrows have been selected to the B.C. U18 team that will participate in the National Rugby Festival in Quebec next month. Q Five Abby athletes have been named to the B.C. U19 men’s side which is pursuing a gold medal at nationals this week in Edmonton. Connor Hunter, Ryan March, Deon Smit, Christian Styles all play their club rugby with the Abbotsford Rugby Football Club, and they’ll be joined on the provincial squad by Paul Ahn, a local product who plays for UBC. Q Abbotsford’s Lucas De Beer and Aaron Flagg represented B.C. last Friday. They were members of a provincial U23 squad which was beaten 24-13 by Durham University, an English touring side, in exhibition action at Vancouver’s Klahanie Park.

Water-ski tour at Albert Dyck Park The Nautique Big Dawg World Tour, a major water-ski circuit, is visiting Abbotsford's Albert Dyck Park this weekend. The Abbotsford stop is the fifth of five preliminary events on the tour, with previous stops in Australia, Peru, France and Texas. The finals run Aug. 16-17 in West Palm Beach, Fla. It's a slalom competition, and runs from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, resuming at 10 a.m. Sunday until 2 p.m. Abbotsford's Dave Miller, a record-setting slalom skier, will be among the competitors.

Heat add defenceman McKelvie From A26

Penguins coach John Hynes. Street excelled with the Pittsburgh Penguins’ affiliate, notching 12 goals and 11 assists for 23 points in 36 games to finish out the 2010-11 campaign, and posting 27-30-57 in 71 games last season. Ward had minimal input on the Flames’ decision to sign Street when he hit free agency on July 1, but he believes his best days are ahead. “Ben’s got a really good feel for the game, both offensively and defensively,” Ward said. “He’s really good on faceoffs, and he can play on the penalty kill and the power play. His shot is very much an NHL shot.” Q The Heat also added defenceman Zach McKelvie last week, inking the former Providence Bruin to a one-year AHL contract. The 6’2”, 200-pounder is defensive-minded in his approach, posting one goal and one assist in 39 games with the Boston Bruins’ affiliate last season. A trio of Heat forwards – Paul Byron, Akim Aliu and Dustin Sylvester – solidified their returns to the organization after signing one-year contracts. Byron and Aliu landed two-way NHL deals. Byron scored 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) in 39 AHL games last season, hitting his stride offensively late in the campaign on a line with Sylvester and Krys Kolanos. Aliu found a home on the Heat’s third line and contributed 10 goals and four assists in 42 games. Sylvester, who signed an AHL contract, was named the Heat’s rookie of the year after posting 15-19-34 in 64 games. Goalie Leland Irving received a qualifying offer from the Flames, but he’s the last of the team’s restricted free agents who has yet to agree on a new deal. Q Jon Rheault and Brian Connelly, key contributors for the Heat last season, both bid adieu in free agency. Rheault, a speedy, versatile forward, signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Florida Panthers, while offensive-minded blueliner Connelly reached a two-year, two-way pact with the Minnesota Wild. Connelly was an

AHL second team all-star who finished second among league defenceman in scoring last season (6-46-52 in 72 games). But losing Rheault might sting the Heat even more. He was one of the squad’s longest-tenured play-

ers, having arrived in Abbotsford late in the Heat’s inaugural season of 2009-10, and Ward called him “the heart and soul of the team” last season. Rheault was open to returning, and he had the option to come back

on an AHL deal. But the Flames declined to match the Panthers’ offer of a two-way pact. “I have nothing but unbelievable things to say about the Calgary and Abbotsford Heat organizations and all that they’ve done for

me over the past two or three years,” Rheault said. “At the same time, I’m very excited for the opportunity in Florida, and I feel like this is the break I’ve been waiting for. Hopefully this leads to playing in the NHL soon.”

Signs of stability in Valley market For the fifth consecutive month, the ratio of property sales in the Fraser Valley compared to the number of listings on the market has remained stable. In June, it was 14 per cent – the same as it was in February and April of this year. In March and May of 2012, it was 15 per cent. “Our market last month remained consistent. Our sales were down compared to May, however the number of new listings we received dropped as well, which seasonally is typical for June in the Fraser Valley,” said Scott Olson, president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. Last month, the board posted 1,463 sales, a decrease of nine per cent compared to May and eight per cent fewer than the 1,588 sales processed on the board’s Multiple Listing Service (MLS) during June of 2011. At the same time, the board received 2,898 new listings, a decrease of 12 per cent compared to May and an increase of five per cent compared to those received during the same month last year. The decrease in new listings pushed the number of active listings down slightly in June – by 1 per cent – compared to the previous month, however still nine per cent more than were available in June of 2011. “Although our inventory is trending at historically high levels, sales have remained steady so we’re not

seeing significant downward pressure on residential prices overall,” said Olson. “There are individual property types and areas with their unique trends, which consumers can ask their local realtor about directly, however across the Fraser Valley in June, both average and benchmark prices, the price of a ‘typical’ home, for detached properties remained on par month-over-month and showed positive gains year-over-year.” The composite benchmark price as determined by the MLS Home Price Index (MLS HPI) of a single family detached home in Fraser Valley increased 3.6 per cent in one year. It went from $548,000 in June 2011 to $551,000 last month. In June, the MLS HPI composite benchmark price of a Fraser Valley townhouse was $305,000, on par with 2011 and the composite benchmark price of an apartment increased by 0.7 per cent year-over-year; going from $202,100 in June of last year to $203,600 last month. “Another market gauge we monitor closely is the average number of days it’s taking to sell properties. In June, it took on average 44 days to sell a detached home in the Fraser Valley and give or take a day this has stayed the same for four months, another sign of stability,” said Olson.

I have had the honour of servicing hundreds of people like you over the past 22 years and I know what matters!

Born and raised in Surrey, I moved to Abbotsford in 1985 and grew to love the community. My roots and commitments in the Fraser Valley became even stronger when I married Ingrid and we started a family. With over 20 years experience in sales and marketing, my next challenge was entering real estate. This career plunge, now several years ago, has brought me growth, relationships, and the career satisfaction of a job well done beyond my dreams. My relationships with my clients are of the utmost importance to me. I am committed to providing the care, understanding, service, and attention they deserve. Accountability, availability, opportunity, and results for my clients are the core of my business.

I am a self-confessed “car guy” and have been racing, restoring, and appreciating all kinds of vehicles since the day I brought home my driver’s license. Over the years I noticed how difficult it can be to find the right property for “toys”, from cars to boats to recreational vehicles. I decided to dedicate part of my business to specializing in “Real Estate for Car Guys” and everyone looking for unique properties, garages and shops in the Fraser Valley.

I am a life long resident of Abbotsford (55 years) and have seen a lot of great changes to our beautiful city. We live in a community that has a lot to offer and I am proud to be part of this community. After graduation I began an 18 year carer in the Recreational Vehicle Service industry. I was licensed as a realtor in 1992 and have been with Landmark Realty Corp. for 20 years. I have been involved in Industrial and Commercial sales and leasing as well as Residential sales. I have been a member of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board Commercial Division for 10 years and also served on Commercial Council.

Shot-putter Dylan Ar mstrong of Kamloops is one of Canada’s great medal hopes at the 2012 Olympic Games. He is a shining example of a B.C. athlete who has developed to international success with support through all the stages of the athlete pathway. Involved at a young age with the Kamloops Track and Field Club, he represented the Thompson-Okanagan Zone at the 1995 and 1996 BC Summer Games. Success as part of Team BC at the 2001 Canada Games was next before winning gold for Canada at the 2007 and 2010 Pan American Games. All eyes are on this BC Games alumnus to better his fourth place finish from the 2008 Olympic Games. Swimmer Brent Hayden of Mission is another medal contender in London. Brent competed at the 1998 BC Summer Games and reflected, “The BC Summer Games was the point in my career when I realized that I had the potential to go further. It was soon after that that I decided to switch from being a summer swimmer to training all year round. It is clear that I wouldn’t have noticed my own potential without the BC Summer Games.” The full Paralympic team will be named later this summer but former BC Games athletes Bo Hedges of Fort St. John (wheelchair basketball) and Adam Rahier of Powell River (swimming) will be part of the team. Over 2,300 athletes between the ages of 10 and 18 will be at the 2012 BC Summer Games in Surrey, which run July 19-22 and kick off just one week prior to the start of the Olympics. It is an inspiring experience that will ignite the dreams of many young athletes to pursue their sport to the highest level. A veteran of the Canadian women’s soccer team, Karina LeBlanc from Maple Ridge remembered, “It was an amazing experience because I did dream of one day being at the Olympic Games and it was the closest thing for me to it, so it made me want to be there that much more!” See the complete list of BC Games alumni heading to London at www.bcgames.org.

Alzheimer Society seeks volunteers Growing demand expected for services The Alzheimer Society of B.C. has issued an urgent plea for volunteers to facilitate support groups in Abbotsford that meet each month. The groups help strengthen the coping abilities of caregivers and people with early symptoms of dementia. Interested volunteers should have excellent listening and empathetic skills, a knowledge of dementia or a willingness to learn, and facilitation skills or a willingness to lear n. For mal or informal caregiving is an asset. Training is provided, and a oneyear commitment is required. Jillian Armit, the society’s support and education coordinator for Abbotsford and Chilliwack, said an estimated one in 11 people over the age of 65 live with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. That number is expected to double over the next generation. Armit said volunteers are a “treasured resource. “They are absolutely invaluable to our team and are a big reason why we are able to meet the growing need for support and education for families living with dementia.” For more information about the volunteer positions, contact Armit at 604859-3889 or jarmit@ alzheimerbc.org.

Health award recognition shared Three Abbotsford companies are celebrating after the Fraser Health Authority won an award of merit on June 25. Rebar Creative, Internet Advertising and Pathfinder Productions all played a big part in the project that resulted in the award. Fraser Health received the Excellence in BC Health Care Award for providing web-based information, tools, and resources for surgical patients and their families aimed at increasing knowledge-based planning and decision making, improving surgical outcomes, reducing complications, and decreasing recovery time. “The award was a wonderful surprise,” said Joanne Severn of Rebar Creative. “I was thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase some of the amazing talent we have here in Abbotsford, and having the project’s outcome recognized with this award is fabulous.”

Severn was the project manager who led a team of more than 30 professionals from five different organizations. She also wrote much of the web content and played the part of a patient in a video produced by Keith Dobie of Pathfinder Productions. Mike Johnson and his team at Internet Advertising developed the ‘Soonest Surgery Tool’ web application, working with data experts at the Provincial Health Services Authority. The online tool is a custom software application that provides patients and physicians with a list of five surgeons most likely able to perform a specific surgical procedure sooner than others. The web content includes advice on how to decide if surgery is the best choice of treatment; how to approach your family doctor to ask for a second surgical referral and more. The information and tools developed are currently online at www.fraserhealth.ca/surgery.

LEITCH, Rick

Thompson, Wendy (Maslyk) November 5, 1955 June 25, 2012.

PARKER (nee Kerr) Elizabeth (Betty) Betty passed into the presence of our Lord on July 8, 2012 at the age of 82 at the Cottage Pavilion in Abbotsford, BC. Betty was born in Scotland and immigrated with her parents John and Joan Kerr (deceased) in 1947. She met her husband of 57 years, Russell, they were married in September 1955. She spent the majority of her life in Burnaby. Betty is survived by her husband Russell; children Joanne (Don) Blaak, Russell Jr. (Antoinette) and Adele (Alan) Taylor; six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Betty devoted her life to her family and loved to sing in the church choir. A Funeral Service will be held at Calvin Presbyterian Church, 8469 Bourquin Cres. E, Abbotsford, BC, Tuesday July 17, 2012 at 1:00 pm. followed by burial at Maclure Road Mennonite Cemetery. The family would like to express their sincerest gratitude to the staff at the Cottage Pavilion.

Rick was taken from us far too soon on June 26th and without the chance to tell him what he meant to us. Ironically, he died in the same week, at the same age and with the same suddenness as his father 27 years prior. His life was celebrated by his family at their home in Hope. Many warm and loving memories were and continue to be shared by his wife Irene, his son Chris, his daughter Kenni, and by mother Lois, brother Mike, sisters Sandy, Joanne & Margie and many loving nieces, nephews and cousins. Rick really wanted to discover how life, the universe and â&#x20AC;&#x153;everythingâ&#x20AC;? was put together and he always pondered and probed the great mysteries from ham radios, to computers to the meaning of life. Discovering his own spirituality brought Rick great peace and comfort. Recently he often said that his life had never been better.

McMATH, Samuel Kennedy 1926 - 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sam on June 29, 2012. He leaves four children, Rick, Randy, Glen & Shelly plus six stepchildren, Gwen, Donna, Lynne, Wayne, Terry, Maureen & their spouses; many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. A Celebration of Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life is to be held on Saturday, July 21st at 2:00 p.m. at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations to B.C. Cancer Society would be welcome. Online condolences to the family may be made at www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com
