Rioter gets 45 days

more dollars head south

Crown asked for four to six months

A5 Latest statistics show a spike in cross-border shopping in June

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A Vancouver provincial court judge ruled Friday that although an Abbotsford man’s involvement in the Stanley Cup riot of 2011 was “completely out of character,” a jail term was necessary to adequately address the nature of his offence.

Judge Connie Bagnall sentenced Luke Patillo, 21, to a 45-day intermittent term to be served on weekends. Patillo was handcuffed in court to serve the first day of his sentence, while some family members who were there to support him broke down.

Patillo, wearing a blue dress shirt and dark pants, remained composed throughout the proceedings.

Patillo pleaded guilty on June 29 to a charge of taking part in a riot. Three other charges – one count of mischief and two counts of break-and-enter – were stayed.

Crown had recommended a sentence of four to six months, while defence counsel had suggested a conditional sentence (house arrest).

Bagnall said mitigating factors in sentencing included that Patillo had no previous criminal record; that he has wide family and community support; and that he took “complete responsibility for his actions.”

Bagnall quoted portions of a letter of apology that Patillo had written and which was previously submitted to the court.

NewsBytes Goddard denied bail Convicted online child predator Jeffrey Goddard was denied bail Thursday in Abbotsford provincial court on his latest set of charges.

Goddard will now remain in prison while he awaits either a trial or, if he pleads guilty, sentencing.

The 22-year-old was charged on Aug. 10 with four counts of breaching his probation, after he allegedly posed on Facebook as a landscaping company supervisor known as “Ryan Martin Stewart” and made contact with youths.

Goddard was prohibited from having contact with anyone under the age of 18, using any electronic devices that could access the Internet, and establishing or maintaining any social networking sites. These conditions were placed on him following his statutory release from prison in February after having served two-thirds of a 20-month sentence. Goddard had pleaded guilty to charges related to his contacting eight youths – ages 12 to 16 – over Facebook and on the phone, while he posed as a police officer, a teenage girl and a TV producer. The charges covered a period from January to October 2010.

man trapped in silo A man has been rescued after being trapped 70 feet down inside a grain silo. Abbotsford Fire Rescue Services were called out to Ritchie Smith Feed, located at 33777 Enterprise Ave., on Monday morning after an employee’s harness apparently got tangled up in wires while working in the silo. Assistant Fire Chief Dave Rivett said the man was conscious and alert, but it still took several hours to assess the situation and perform a rope rescue. The man was in an “uncomfortable position” and was complaining of back pain.

Once freed from the silo, he was takes by ambulance to Abbotsford Regional Hospital. His injuries were not thought to be serious.

Rivett said it was a challenging rescue. “It’s always difficult to go into a confined space for rescue.

It’s always difficult when you have to haul somebody up from that distance.”

The controversial and much debated Lingerie Football League kicked off its inaugural Canadian season in Abbotsford on Saturday night, with the BC Angels dominating the visiting Regina Rage 41-18.

Between 2,000 to 2,500 fans attended the contest at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, and what they lacked in numbers, they made up for with enthusiasm as they cheered, Vidleione chanted and even did the wave on ws.com as the hard-hitting action unabbyne folded.

Fans appeared to enjoy the competitive nature of the game, which caught some spectators by surprise.

“I was expecting some sloppy, soft-hitting stuff. But, you know, these girls actually hit pretty hard, so good on them. They’re athletes. I’ll come again,” said Matt Baillet, an Abbotsford resident.

He said he’d bring his fiancee to the next game.

As for the uniforms, Baillet said, like beach volleyball, it’s just a way to promote the game.

“My actions caused a terrible amount of damage to the city, the extent of which I could never repay … What I did cannot be undone and I wish to offer my deepest regret and sincerest apology to the citizens of Vancouver,” the letter stated.

Patillo’s participation in the riot of June 15, 2011 began soon after the activities started and continued until about 11 p.m., the judge said.

This included entering through the broken windows of the Black and Lee Tuxedo Rental store on West Georgia Street and stealing a pair of pants, which he threw into a burning car.

Patillo then walked to a street-level parkade, where he and a group of about 12 others attempted to overturn a Hummer H2. They were unsuccessful, but the vehicle was destroyed.

Next, he assisted

others as they tried to overturn a BMW. The car was not overturned, but it was set on fire.

Bagnall said Patillo posed in front of the burning vehicle, “smiling and making a triumphant gesture” while his photo was taken.

Lastly, he was among dozens of people that entered the London Drugs store at West Georgia and Granville and stole some small items.

Patillo was identified after his photo was among those of

rioters posted on the Vancouver Police Department website as part of their investigation. He then confessed his involvement to police.

Patillo’s letter of apology said that after his father’s death in 2010, he began hanging out with a new group of friends and started drinking and going to bars.

On the night of the riot, he said he drank alcohol before and during the game, but has no explanation for his behaviour and

is stricken by “deep shame and regret.”

“I will always regret that I went downtown that night; regret the havoc I wrecked (sic) and the fear I instilled,” his letter stated.

Not long after the riot, Patillo, who has 13 siblings, went to work at a camp for under-privileged children in Edmonton.

Working with kids who had lived in foster homes and groups home made him realize that he had to change his life, he said.

Bagnall said Patillo’s behaviour was indicative of “a young man who had temporarily lost his moral compass in the aftermath of the death of his father,” but a jail term was necessary to address his “prolonged and various involvement” in the riot.

Issues of deterrence and denunciation would also be better addressed by a period of incarceration, she said.

Cross-border shopping surge ‘a concern’ HST bigger factor than duty-free limit change: official

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Cross-border shopping by bargain-hunting Canadians got a new lift in recent months with higher duty-free limits for overnight trips introduced in June.

But Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Ken Opplinger said he believes the increased flow of B.C. residents heading south this summer was relatively modest.

He was reacting to new Statistics Canada data showing a 7.5 per cent jump in overnight travel to the U.S. in June.

“There’s been an increase since June but not nearly so much as other places,” Opplinger said.

“It’s pretty small here.”

Bellingham had already been experiencing heavy flows of Lower Mainland shoppers coming south for some time, he said, thanks to a combination of B.C.’s introduction of the harmonized sales tax in 2010 and the rise to parity of the

Lineups at border crossings haven’t been a deterrent to cross-border shopping. Statistics Canada data showed a 7.5 per cent jump in overnight travel to the U.S. in June.

Canadian dollar.

“We’ve certainly had substantial increases for a little over two years since the HST first hit,” Opplinger said. “It’s certainly the highest we’ve seen since the early 1990s.”

Canada Border Services Agency staff have also been “much more lax” in checking returning Canadians and enforcing duty payments, he added.

Another draw continues to be the sometimes wide differential between prices retailers charge in Canada compared to stores in the U.S. Opplinger said his office is still working to defuse friction after some Bellingham locals accused deal-crazed Canadians of being impolite or pushy and set up a Facebook page de-

manding the local Costco serve only Americans at certain hours.

He described it as a small number of people not comporting themselves appropriately.

Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce executive director Allan Asaph said the Stats Canada report is “a concern” for local business owners.

Asaph said when the government changed the allowable exemptions to come into Canada, “they did so saying they were leveling the playing field.” However, he said that’s only part of the picture.

According to Asaph the tariffs placed on imported goods to Canada impact the ability for Canadian businesses to be competitive.

“You can only cut your profit margin down so much and still make a living,” he said.

He said businesses want to be competitive and comments saying Canadian business are “gouging” their customers just aren’t true.

Recent publicity regarding the price of milk and gas has impacted some local retailers said Asaph.

“There is an overall perception that everything is cheaper in the United States, when in fact it isn’t.”

As for the impact of HST, Asaph agreed that some consumers likely turned to the U.S. to avoid the tax.

“This is just one more factor, it’s death by 1,000 cuts,” he said.

Asaph and Abbotsford Chamber president Patrick Giesbrecht are set to attend the Canadian Chamber AGM in September and cross-border shopping is one of the major issues on the agenda.

On June 1, duty-free exemptions for Canadians returning home rose from $50 to $200 for a 24-hour stay and from $200 to $800 for stays of at least 48 hours.

Mark Startup, president and CEO of Shelfspace, said it’s difficult to say if cross-border shopping has cost B.C. retailers more sales in recent months.

Retailers here have continued to report climbing sales, he added.

The overnight duty-free changes should not have affected day trippers, Startup said.

And he doubts most shoppers would save enough to justify an overnight stay and the time committed to qualify for the bigger limits.

“You really have to wonder if the difference in the exemption alone has had an impact.”

Shelf Space and other retail organizations continue to lobby the federal government to eliminate or significantly reduce tariffs Canadian retailers pay on many imported goods so they can sell at prices closer to those offered in the U.S.

A price to pay for bargains

In increasing numbers, Canadian consumers are heading south for an overnight stay and shopping to take advantage of new cross-border allowances and the high dollar.

Cross-border trips in June, the first month the higher exemptions took effect, were up to levels not seen since 1972. Back then, the dollar was also above par, and gas prices were low.

It seems many are willing to spend the time in border line-ups and pay for the extra gas to save on a variety of items.

The downside is that local retailers take a hit, and when they do, they cut back on costs – such as new hires. And those much-hated taxes (which pay for health, education and other important programs) take a hit, as well.

Also, local business owners play major roles in sponsoring myriad local activities and initiatives, such as youth sports teams and chari-

table causes. As revenues decline, so does the ability of businesses to give back to the community.

Retailers in border communities like Abbotsford are particularly impacted.

Canadians are understandably looking for bargains. But there is a point when the lure of cheaper U.S. products comes back to haunt them.

A long-term decline in retail jobs and declining tax revenue can do major damage to the B.C. economy.

Tax shortfalls must be made up somewhere, so that means everyone (including cross-border shoppers) will pay more.

The federal government encouraged this flow of dollars to the south, with the cross-border allowance changes.

Now it’s incumbent upon the same government to address factors such as high import tariffs that impede the competitiveness of many Canadian business.

Good planning is essential to success Mark

Other Hand Searching high and low through the sports pages of the daily newspapers these past few days revealed not one reference to the debut of “our” lingerie football team.

Thus, with complete lack of interest from the sporting press, I have to assume that the team and the league are not considered worthy of coverage, and if I go by a photo I saw on Facebook taken during “the show,” fans were similarly lacking.

So, if anyone thought this event would be the saving grace of a financial white elephant, it’s time to think again. Or accept the reality that the ASEC is and most likely always will be a largely taxsupported community venue executed – like the block wall I am building – without a plan.

Not that this was the reason for keeping me from attending the scanty-panty

gridiron display, but that wall certainly occupied my weekend simply because, like putting together a child’s toy, I didn’t bother to read the directions, or plan how it would all work out.

When the gravel base was in place, and properly leveled, I realized that my driveway/parking area has a six- or eight-degree slope. While the blocks were essentially at ground level at the start, the remaining rows would be sitting close to a foot high at the end of the wall.

I’m a reasonably intelligent guy, and will play Trivial Pursuit for money with anyone. However, when constructing things I can be dumber than a sack of rocks, or in this case gravel.

So it was with shovel in hand that I removed the carefully laid bed of crush, dragged the previously set 75-pound blocks off their moorings and began to chip away at a trench to properly establish and create a base run for the wall.

At least I discovered the error of my ways and corrected them before it was built, not after.

And perhaps that’s what Enbridge needs to do with its proposed pipeline through northern B.C. if it wants to achieve even a modicum of support in

this province.

I have never been able to figure out the fixation on Kitimat as the terminus for the pipeline. Why would you route the line there, develop a deep-sea port and then have tankers try to thread the needle between myriad islands during

At least I discovered the errors of my ways and corrected them before it was built, not after. winter storms when, by extending the pipeline just a few more miles west it could be in Prince Rupert?

Rupert has only one island, Digby, on which it’s somewhat scary airport is located, between it and open ocean. The opportunity for ship-land collisions and devastating oil spills would be vastly reduced, on top of which Prince Rupert already has deep-water docking facilities.

And why doesn’t Enbridge consider paralleling the CN rail route from

Edmonton to Prince Rupert, rather than carving its way through essentially pristine wilderness with its attendant threat of environmental catastrophe every step of the way after completion of the pipe?

I realize that for many, the only acceptable result of this debate is to leave the oilsands in the ground. However, with the insatiable demand world-wide for every drop of oil that can be extracted, that is an impossible dream ended when the “last drop” is consumed.

The oilsands will be tapped, and the oil will flow, one way or the other (possibly south through Washington and then along the Columbia to Astoria, Oregon or north to the Beaufort Sea).

If you believe an oil spill will have a huge environmental impact in B.C., think about a tanker holed by arctic ice in the dead of winter.

There are no easy answers to this debate, but I’m convinced that the bitumen will eventually be shipped overseas.

What we need is the best, safest, way to do this.

Unfortunately, the process, like my wall initially, hasn’t yet been thought out properly. markrushton@abbynews.com

Public auto insurance still best value for customers

Anyone who thinks privatizing ICBC is the answer to higher rates must not have taken a look at comparable auto insurance coverage or the even more excessive executive salaries in the private sector.

Independent studies by Statistics Canada and the Consumers Association of Canada have shown public auto insurance gives the best value to customers.

Since ICBC was established on March 1, 1974, British Columbians have enjoyed reduced insurance fraud,

safer roads and lower rates. Part of this is because ICBC was designed to operate on a non-profit, break-even basis.

So where is the real issue? Executive salaries at ICBC are too high and should be dealt with, but that’s only exacerbated in the private sector.

The biggest problem at ICBC is that the government hasn’t stayed true to ICBC’s break-even mandate.

Christy Clark’s government is treating ICBC as their cash cow, raiding over $1.2 billion from the corporation’s

coffers even as they ask ICBC workers to continue their wage freeze, and B.C. drivers to pay higher insurance premiums.

That money isn’t even going into improving roads or transportation – it’s going into general revenue.

If there are any savings coming out of the government review, how do we know they won’t just be funnelled right back into government coffers?

British Columbians need to know savings will be used to reduce rates for drivers and keep the unionized

workforce at ICBC from falling further behind.

When Manitoba’s public insurer was found to have overcharged its customers, they gave everyone a rebate.

The government’s mismanagement of ICBC hurts both their employees and B.C. drivers.

Siphoning off ICBC’s profits was never what was intended for our public insurance corporation.

Jeff Gillies COPE 378 Vice-president

End the illegal sale of salmon Pursue possible sale of AESC When will our B.C. government deal with our salmon illegally for sale?

I keep hearing of lots of people buying sockeye when there has been no sports opening, limited if any commercial openings, and a food and ceremony only (First Nations) fishery.

Please do not buy illegally sold B.C. salmon.

If you do, we will have no more resources in a few more years.

We have been protecting the endangered Chilliwack Lake sockeye run for years, to the point of shutting down commercial and sports fisheries.

Yet there are nets from the mouth to the

lake, taking everything.

Can someone please explain the reasoning for allowing this?

B.C. could be a fishing and hunting mecca of the world, yet our conservation policing and our hatchery funding keep getting cut by our government.

Also, the sportsmen, who pay the most to the government per fish and stimulate our economy, are penalized, while mass netting and selling fish are allowed to continue.

This has to stop.

There are a lot of angry people out there.

Please do not buy our children’s future for a short-term gain.

Steve Organ

I’m hopeful that Francesco Aquilini will follow through with what I read, in that he might purchase AESC and bring the Canuck farm team here.

What a tax relief that would be, and I’m sure the people of Abbotsford would attend a lot more hockey games and make

our sports centre a more profitable building.

Our council should pursue this idea and do what it takes to get a good deal done ASAP. Yes, I know it is only a rumour, but it’s worth taking a good look at.

Several local 4-H club members fared well at the annual 4-H auction at the Fair at the PNE. In 2012, 4-H members raised $415,575 at the auction, over $30,000 more than in 2011.

This year’s auction saw 153 animals auctioned off including 43 swine, 27 lamb and 83 beef.

The 2012 4-H Auction Winners: Beef grand champion, raising $10,773 at auction, was Quentin Jones of the Mission 4-H Beef Club.

The reserve champion was Paige Thompson of the Abbotsford 4-H Beef Club.

The lamb grand champion, with $2,263, was Megan Blaschek of the Yarrow 4-H Lamb Club.

The 4-H Festival is one of the most celebrated traditions at the Fair at the PNE since the program’s inception at the very first fair in 1910 at Hastings Park.

Over the past century the fair has welcomed more than 450 youth each year, from clubs across the province, to participate in its annual 4-H Festival. The 4-H program aims at educating youth about farming and agriculture through hands-on learning experiences.

The 4-H auction is the culmination of a year of hard work and dedication by participants.The youth spend the year learning important lessons in agriculture, including the costs of raising an animal from birth, and the profit made through sale at the

Local rockers make top eight Free square dance sessions Fans can vote online on Aug. 29 to support Rags To Radio

Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

A local rock band has made the top eight finalist list in a contest being run

by Pop Montreal.

Rags to Radio, a group of four Fraser Valley musicians, entered the competition last month, with no expectations of making it this far.

Layton Keely, spokesman and guitarist for the band said the contest is designed for bands that “wouldn’t regularly have a chance to play in a festival of this size.”

Pop Montreal is an international music festival running Sept. 19-23 in Quebec.

As part of the festival, the contest was created, inviting lesser known bands to submit a video.

More than 50 bands from around North America entered.

Music fans had the opportunity to vote online for their favourite groups and narrowed the list to the top 20.

A panel of judges from Pop Montreal chose the top eight.

Rags to Radio made the list.

“That’s a feat on its own. We didn’t think we’d make top 20,” said Keely.

Now music fans will get the opportunity to whittle down the final eight to the final two.

Finalist have cre-

The Abbotsford Grand Squares dance club is offering the public the chance to enjoy three free square dance sessions.

The “new dancer” classes are scheduled for Sept. 10, 17 and 24 from 7-8:30 p.m. at the Abbotsford Seniors Association Hall located at 33889 Essendene

Ave. No experience is needed and you people are encouraged to come as a couple or an individual.

For more information about the free sessions or the club, call Tanye at 604-820-9533 or Wendy at 604-853-3410.

Enhance your home indoors and out With natural gas appliances The variety of efficient natural gas appliances available today let you add style, comfort and value to your home — both inside and out.

Natural gas is a versatile choice for your everyday life. It can heat your home and water, cook your dinner, dry your clothes and create ambience with a mood-setting fireplace. It can also help you entertain outdoors. The same natural gas pipes that supply gas

to your furnace or range can also be used to supply fuel to your barbecue, pool or hot tub. And, with natural gas patio heaters and lamps, those evenings with family and friends can last and last.

Before you upgrade to energy efficient natural gas appliances, learn about our rebates at fortisbc.com/offers.

Choices to fit your life Cooking

Fireplaces

Chefs prefer natural gas for instant heat, a variable flame and precise temperature control.

An outdoor fireplace, firepit or patio heater can extend those summer evenings.

Barbecues With a quick connect you’ll never lift a propane tank again.

They heat water faster than electric models. Tankless save space and heat water only as needed.

Dryers

Furnaces and boilers

Natural gas dryers heat up instantly and dry your clothes with gentle warmth for fewer wrinkles.

Heating systems provide even warmth and comfort throughout the home.

Water heaters

The band features three outstanding lead vocalists, the AirTight horns (their four-piece horn section), and a rock solid rhythm section that glues it all together.

The band’s founding members have their roots in some of Vancouver’s great R&B club bands including the Vancouver Accents, Soul Unlimited, The Soul Demons, and others.

Together for the last three years, Souled Out has rapidly become one of the Lower Mainland’s premier live dance bands,

performing the hits of artists such as Tower of Power, the Motown greats, Stevie Wonder, Etta James, Steely Dan,

James Brown, and many others.

Producer John Taves has announced that this is his last year with the series, as he and his wife MaryAnn now make their residence in Powell River.

Mark and Bronwen Sutherland have accepted the position of Envision Twilight Series producers for the 2013 season.

“Concert goers will recognize Mark as the sound production man, taking the concerts to a very professional level.

Bronwen is a wellknown member of the arts community in Mission, as manager of the Clarke Theatre,” Taves said.

“Envision has been proud to support the Envision Twilight Concert Series for the past 12 years,”

says Carol Hamilton, branch manager at Envision Financial’s Mission location.

Blending traditional folk, Celtic, country, contemporary songs, sea shanties, instrumentals, and cleverly crafted humour, Piper Down has been the recipient of numerous accolades including being voted the most popular band of a previous year’s Twilight Concert Series.

Influenced by Maritime folk groups, Piper Down has sculpted a distinctly unique sound. A variety of instruments (including bagpipes), strong four-part harmonies, in addition to crowdpleasing interaction, attributes to the group’s depth and diversity.

The final concert of the summer features Souled Out on Aug. 31 from 7 to 8 p.m.

Souled Out is a dynamic 11-piece band playing classic R&B, soul, funk and disco from the 1960s to

The wall was the most heavily fortified border in the Roman Empire, and is now the most popular tourist destination in northern Europe. It’s been described as the most important monument built by the Romans in Britain by England’s heritage

Is there any other single product that does as many jobs as fencing? It protects your children from the traffic and drowning in the swimming pool, protects your veggie garden from marauding animals (dream on!) and separates your property from your neighbours, among many other things. Not only are there dozens of reasons for installing a fence, there are also dozens of types and styles to choose from.

We all drool over photos of the thriving vegetable and flower garden surrounded by a whimsical fence and gate complete with roses, but this is not what we are about today.

We want to see what’s available in robust but stylish metal fencing that will do the job, is very low maintenance, and will enhance the curb appeal of your home. Not a lot to ask is it?

Not according to Ken Scherk of Steelguard Fence Ltd. “My very first advice to any home owner with a pool who wants to fence is to check with their local municipality bylaw;

retaining the natural beauty of a stone wall

By Maggie Calloway Here’s a skill testing question for you: what was built starting in AD 122 by the Romans as a defensive fortification, is 122 kilometres long,

and still has a significant portion existing today?

Hadrian’s Wall, which was made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. It was made of stones and is built entirely in England, not on the border with Scotland as is frequently stated.

What other building material would still be standing almost 2,000 years other than the most natural of material? As Ronald Hernandez, owner of Cabana Masonry, says, “Building with masonry is a timeless art form that goes back to the great Egyptian pyramids, Greek temples and Roman cities.

Many of these structures are still standing today. Masonry has always been the choice for enduring, natural beauty.”

Growing up in El Salvador, Hernandez has always been naturally skilled at working with his hands. As a young boy he liked to build his own toys from the leftover materials from his dad’s blacksmith shop. It was this creative mentality, along with the love of seeing his work come to life, that eventually led him to pursue masonry.

retaining walls, and the most plain home into something special with steps, walls, walkways and brick cladding,” he says.

“Sometimes walls are not just for retaining but to gain more usable space, especially on large properties with pretty steep slopes. By putting in walls and maybe building a patio, suddenly you have extended the property.”

The choice of stone is vast and finding a style of stone and wall to fit your unique needs is certainly doable. If your choice is to tackle the job yourself, Cabana Masonry has dedicated part of its website to comprehensive do-it-yourself instructions from how to lay pavers to a garden wall installation guide to how to build block walls.

Hernandez also has a guide on how to clean your existing brick cladding and brick walls, which he says can be spoiled by improper care.

As generous as Hernandez is on his website, I say treat yourself with the real McCoy. I don’t thing you’ll regret it!

Trying to live off the grid

A25

> from page 23 used interchangeably but are actually different; Geothermal is the direct use of heat generated at great depths below the Earth’s surface and GeoExchange is a central heat pump-based heating and cooling system which pumps heat into or out of the ground or body of water.

Scott Fleenor, a principal with TerraTek Energy Solutions Inc., specializes in renewable energy systems, with a primary focus on solar thermal, photovoltaic, small-scale wind and micro-hydro energy production. Inhouse capabilities include design, specification, system supply and installation. Throughout southwestern British Columbia, TerraTek has successfully designed, supplied and installed hundreds of systems for residential, multi-residential and commercial.

“All these technologies cost money but it depends on how you define cost. Essentially with all these systems you are buying your energy up front,” says Fleenor. “Over the life of the systems, they will pay for themselves. For instance, a single collector for domestic hot water we are talking approximately $6,700. Keeping in mind every situation is unique, for a system to service three to six people it would be around $8,800. For a photovoltaic, a solar electric system, it would be $4 to $7 a watt, fully installed. This would be a system tied to the grid with no batteries meaning you can pull from the grid when needed and sell back to the grid when you are producing more energy than you are using.”

With the introduction of BC Hydro’s SmartMeters, alternative energy might be a good option.

Wind power has some limitations in the land of tall trees. Fleenor says that in our climate you would want to use a heavy, slow revolutions-per-minute turbine, but they are not cheap to install at a starting price of around $20,000. Much of the cost is due to the tower.

“Right now your best cost per watt is solar hot water then photovoltaic because once installed they are pretty much maintenance-free because there are no moving parts. Wind has ongoing costs because the turbine should be tilted down once a year to make sure everything is where it should be; if you have a high tower it can get expensive,” Fleenor says. “If you live in a remote location where there is a cost benefit because bringing hydro to the property is extremely expensive, these different applications are perfect. Most people use a combination in these circumstances, using different systems depending on the weather.”

Fleenor says living off-grid is a lifestyle choice. You use the resource when it’s there and modify your life when it’s not. I am familiar with these choices after living with a well; you can’t have a shower while running the dishwasher and putting in a load of laundry. It becomes automatic to space things out, make sure the dishwasher is full and only wash clothes when it’s necessary.

I predict there will be more alternative energy sources built into residences which in turn will bring the price down.

fencing has come a long way from plain chain-link > from page 23 each municipality requirements are different,” says Scherk.

“Usually when you request a permit for a pool they will have specs for fencing. Keep in mind these specs are for the minimum required but we can tell them what it will take to keep the family safe.”

Have you noticed the black metal fencing appearing over the last few years? It used to be

a chain-link fence was either a natural steel or white and pretty industrial in appearance. Now there are different types of chainlink fencing available that you can place anywhere. The black chain-link almost disappears into the background. The other great thing about the new black fencing is that it is almost maintenance-free, it doesn’t show dirt unlike white or natural, and

once installed it will last almost forever, since a hose or the rain will wash off any dirt.

The wire on a chain-link fence is coated with PVC with a UV rating which will stand up to ultra-violet light for decades. The posts are galvanized pipe over which there is a powder-coated finish, the same type of finish on a barbeque, so it will last for decades.

There are many types of fencing available for every type of project, from a modern metal railing, above, to new black chain-link, below.

My technicians hear this comment frequently when making repairs. This tells me that homeowners are not aware of some very important information.

Electrical is a federally and provincially regulated profession. This means that it is illegal for anyone, other than a licensed electrical contractor, to provide and charge you for electrical installations, renovations and almost all repairs.

The Canadian Electrical Code, which is updated every 3 years, has very specific rules and installation requirements that must be strictly followed to ensure a safe installation or repair.

The risk of fire, personal injury and loss increases when:

x Electrical work is not done by a certified electrician who performs circuit load calculations and follows the most recent Electrical Code requirements.

x Correct procedures, techniques and products are not used for electrical installations and repairs.

x Questionable work is not inspected and corrected by a trained professional.

x Electrical systems are neglected and

not checked regularly for deterioration and wear.

Entrusting any part of the electrical system to a handyman, because he may be familiar with construction is like allowing the janitor to remove your appendix just because he works in the hospital.

Since the BC Safety Authority demands such a high level of skill and experience to make changes to any electrical system, homeowners are wise to expect and demand the same.

An Electrical Contractor employs certified electricians and apprentices to install or repair electrical systems following the Canadian Electrical Code requirements. He must carry the proper licensing, insurance policies and bonds to protect the customer. His electricians and apprentices must be covered by a Workers Compensation (WCB) insurance policy, otherwise the homeowner is held responsible for any injuries occurring on their property. Only the electrical contractor (not a handyman or any electrician) can purchase the electrical permit required for electrical work.

NCAA’s Matadors sprint past Cascades NBA coach Drew in attendance to watch son play Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News

UFV guard Kevon Parchment drives to the hoop against Lonnie Watson of Cal State Northridge.

For an exhibition game during the dog days of summer, Saturday evening's tilt between the UFV Cascades and the Cal State Northridge Matadors had some rather weighty themes at play.

It was about fathers and sons, and bigtime basketball debuts.

In the stands on the north side of UFV's Envision Athletic Centre sat Larry Drew, head coach of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks.

He'd hopped on a cross-continent flight to watch his son Landon, a freshman point guard with the Matadors, play the first games of his college career as part of a four-game tour of B.C. Seated in the south bleachers was longtime Yale Secondary senior boys bench

boss Al Friesen, watching his son Adam in his first game as head coach of the UFV men's program.

In the aftermath of the Matadors' 96-56 win over the Cascades, both dads were heartened by what they'd seen.

Facing an NCAA Div. I opponent while trying to assimilate seven new players with minimal practice preparation was, predictably, not a recipe for success for the Cascades. The Matadors took full advantage in the first half – a bushel of UFV turnovers ignited their fast break, and the visitors built a 52-20 lead.

But the Cascades, who were missing star power forward Kyle Grewal (groin injury), played far better after the break, and managed a moral victory by winning Continued on A34

Cardinals send seven on to college ranks

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Success, for the Abbotsford Cardinals, can be measured in ways that extend beyond wins and losses.

After a very good regular season, the local under-18 baseball team fell just short of its ultimate goal – a berth to the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s Final Four

– after bowing out to the Okanagan A’s in the quarter-finals.

But there’s still plenty of reason for the Cards to celebrate, as the program is graduating seven

Tyler Krahn, Adam Balliet, Luke Cooke, Matt Forsythe and Adam Revel are among the Abbotsford Cardinals who have earned college scholarships for the coming school year.

end, it’s very emotional. But you see them going off to colleges and succeeding, and it’s a good feeling.”

For most of the players, the recruiting process was somewhat standard, consisting of Cardinals head coach Corey Eckstein producing individual highlight videos and sending them out to colleges to generate interest.

Krahn’s road to his post-secondary

home was a little more colourful. He was in Florida with a B.C. selects team last fall when a scout from Cornerstone University – a nondenominational Christian school – approached his coach and asked if there were any bornagain Christians on the squad. The coach pointed to Krahn.

“They watched a few of my games, and signed me three

weeks later,” he explained with a chuckle. “It was kind of neat how that worked out.”

Forsythe and Balliet (Cloud County), along with Sheehan and Gilroy (Okanagan), have the rare chance to stick together as the move on in their baseball careers. It’s a prospect they relish.

“That’s huge,” Forsythe asserted.

“It’s going to be a lot easier than going down there alone.”

gust 24

On behalf of the Rotary Club of Abbotsford and The Abbotsford News, thank you to everyone who participated in the first-ever Drive-In to ‘End Polio Now’, August 24th 2012. The Drive-In movie was a great success and our thanks to Freshair Cinema for a great show! The campaign for ‘End Polio Now’ coordinated by Rotary International, specifically targets the last three Polio endemic countries in the world; Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan. In these countries children are being administered the Polio vaccine in an effort to rid the world of this disease. In Abbotsford, thanks in part to donations from the evening along with various sponsors, we are pleased to announce that

2,000 children will receive a vaccination as a direct result of the Drive-In movie night.

Thank you Abbotsford.

POliO Facts: • A crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, polio (poliomyelitis) still strikes children mainly under the age of five in countries in Asia and Africa.

• Polio can cause paralysis and sometimes death.

Because there is no cure for polio, the best protection is prevention. For as little as US$0.60 worth of vaccine, a child can be protected against this crippling disease for life.

• It can cause paralysis within hours, and polio paralysis is almost always irreversible.

• In the most severe cases, polio attacks the motor neurons of the brain stem, causing breathing difficulty or even death.

• Historically, polio has been the world’s greatest cause of disability.

If polio isn’t eradicated, the world will continue to live under the threat of the disease. More than 10 million children will be paralyzed in the next 40 years if the world fails to capitalize on its US$5 billion global investment in eradication. More information at www.facebook.com/rotaryclub.abbotsford.

Skate event a hit Solid weekend for Hadwin, Taylor Adam Hadwin took another step forward in his quest to earn a PGA Tour card for next season, posting a solid 10th-place finish at the News Sentinel Open in Knoxville, Tenn. on the weekend.

The Abbotsford pro golfer was remarkably consistent over the four rounds, shooting 68-66-68-68 to end up at 14 under par.

That left him just four strokes back of winner Darron Stiles, and earned him $12,500.

The result moved Hadwin from 44th up to 39th in the Web.com Tour's order of merit rankings, with $97,600 in earnings this season. The top 25 on the order of merit at season's end will be awarded PGA Tour cards for next season.

Competition draws over 100 riders

JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News

Shane Klaschin was the champ in the intermediate division at Saturday’s skateboard competition.

Rob Rickaby took home the $1,000 top prize from the “For the Love of Skateboarding” competition at MacMillan Youth Park on Saturday.

Rickaby won the sponsored riders’ division at the event, which drew over 100 competitors.

Other division winners included Chris McCaveny (advanced), Shane Klaschin (intermediate) and Kyler Hale (beginner). Matt Foster and Mickey Papa split the $500 Chrysler best trick prize.

The event was organized by a local group called Love Bomb, with proceeds from entry fees going to Skatelife, a Christian skateboarding ministry.

a top-10 finish for Nick Taylor at the Canadian Tour Championship in Scarborough, Ont. Taylor holed his tee shot on the par-three 14th at Scarboro Golf and Country Club during Saturday's third round.

For the tournament, he shot 7171-68-70 to finish at seven under par, tied for eighth.

Taylor earned $2,900 for the result, which moved him up to ninth on the CanTour order of merit.

UFV men’s soccer team shows promise

The UFV men's soccer team won two of three weekend games south of the border, running their preseason record to 4-1-1.

On Friday, the Cascades fell 2-1 to the Puget Sound University Loggers, an NCAA Div. III program. Connor MacMillan scored the UFV goal.

On Saturday, the Cascades

crushed another NCAA Div. III squad, the Willamette (Oregon) University Beavers, 5-1 behind goals from MacMillan, Koby Byrne, Justin Sekhon, Dalibor Plavsic and Ryan Liddiard.

The UFV men wrapped up the jaunt with a 1-0 win over the Pacific University Boxers, an NCAA Div. II team, on Sunday.

Plavsic notched the lone goal.

Cal State Northridge, though, decisively completed an undefeated run through B.C., which also featured wins over the Vancouver Island University Mariners, the Quest Kermodes and the UVic Vikes.

Friesen tried to downplay his CIS head coaching debut – "nothing more than just a regular game."

His father had a different sense of things.

"You could tell everybody was nervous (in the first half), and he was nervous," Al Friesen said, noting that Adam grew more animated on the sideline as the game wore on.

"Second half, he coached differently.

It's your first time, and you feel like you have to look the part.

Nathan Kendall was perhaps the most impressive Cascade – coming off a redshirt season, the Yale Secondary product exhibited an upgraded skill set and newfound confidence. He registered nine points, three rebounds and three assists in 16 minutes off the bench.

"We have so many players who are not only new to our program, they're new to the CIS," Adam Friesen summarized.

"You have to learn how hard you have to play, how physical you have to be. I think that caught us offguard at the beginning . . . but in the second half, we played a lot better. That was really encouraging.

"I saw the glimpse of individual talent we have. Blending it together is going to take some time, of course, but the individual talent is there."

Abbotsford News Tuesday, August 28, 2012

Celebrate the economic and social contribution of workers For many British Columbians, Labour Day may simply mean the last extended weekend of the summer. It is important to remember it is a day to celebrate working people and the contribution they make to our province and the quality of life we enjoy.

important legislature to impact workers in the following century.

Union pioneers petitioned their employers for a reduction in the number of hours worked - asking that their workweek be reduced to six, 9-hour days. They formed an organization dubbed the Nine Hours Movement and argued that reducing working hours would benefit both workers and society as more time would be spent with family and community. Employers scoffed at their claims and rejected their demands. At the time it was a crime to be member of a union in Canada yet in a

The rights that workers have today such as a 40hour work week, minimum wage, parental leave and paid holidays were hard fought for in times when labourers had few benefits, no voice and worked in perilous conditions. Many of the protections and rights that today’s employees have exist because of unions.

Labour Day is celebrated on the first Monday of every September and this year on September 3 it will be in a show of solidarity for working people across the country and beyond. The origins of this national holiday are rooted in the history of the Canadian labour movement that began in the time of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald.

From a bold stand by a group of Ontario printers in May of 1872 grew the most

courageous act of defiance, the Toronto Typographical Union went on strike to secure the nine-hour workday. A parade was held which drew some 10,000 spectators. The workers went on strike. Many lost their job and were forced to relocate. Their employers brought in replacement workers and used this so called ‘conspiracy’ to have 24 members of the movement arrested and jailed.

SEPT 3 On June 14, 1872 Macdonald passed the Trade Union Act that legalized union activity, freed the workers and endeared him to the working class. The Toronto printers strike paved the way for unions across North America to demand a 54hour workweek.

Canadian trade unionists have ever since, celebrated this day that has been set aside to honor ‘those who labour.’ The first Labour Day parade was held in Winnipeg in 1894, and was two miles long.

Today approximately 30 percent of BC’s workforce is covered by a collective agreement.

As Labour Day has evolved it remains a day of celebration, solidarity, speeches and recreation.

The issues facing workers have also evolved.

Today’s labour unions negotiate on behalf of a changing workforce in an ever-evolving workplace. British Columbians have different challenges to deal with, whether it is record-high housing prices, increasing levels of debt and living longer.

Minimum wage, overtime, working conditions for farmworkers, health and safety and access to affordable daycare are all important labour issues.

This Labour Day, take a moment to reflect on the history and significance of the day.

Labour Day! 2012

Labour Day September 3, 2012

Despite the name, many Canadians don’t labour much on Labour Day. Rather, the federal holiday pays homage to working men and women, and has done so since 1894.

Most people associate Labour Day with a chance to gather with family and friends for one last summer hurrah. This year Labour Day falls on Monday, Sept.

3 and will mark the unofficial end to the summer season for Canadians in the 10 provinces and three territories.

The last big travel weekend of the summer, Labour Day weekend witnesses many Canadians taking to the roads in search of their final adventure before school begins anew or business returns to normal hours after the relaxed summer season. Rural destinations typically notice a spike in tourism come Labour Day weekend. Savvy travelers know to plan ahead before embarking on a Labour Day weekend getaway.

Although many people like to get a jump-start on travel plans by leaving early, this practice has grown more commonplace, so leaving early no longer guarantees less traffic. One way to beat traffic is to do the majority of your driving in the evening. And because the scores of vacationers will be rushing back for work and school in time for Tuesday morning, you may want to

consider leaving very early Labour Day morning or the night prior to beat the traffic home. Doing so means planning the majority of your festivities for the weekend instead of Labour Day itself.

Because Labour Day is a recognized holiday, bank and government offices will be closed. Some stores or restaurants may be working on holiday hours, as will public transportation. Knowing this in advance can help you plan accordingly.

Despite Labour Day being a holiday in both Canada and the United States, border points between the countries will still be staffed. Therefore, if you’re traveling between the two countries, be sure to have all proper documentation with you and at the ready.

If yours is a long trip, be sure to bring adequate refreshments with you. This will reduce the need to stop at rest stops and pay premium prices for food.

Take-along-snacks are also more healthy because they allow drivers to choose healthy snacks as opposed to roadside fare, which is typically fast food. Be sure to also pack activities for children to keep them occupied.

Finally, remember to be safe on the road. Each year many drivers in B.C. find out that traffic hazard increase on long weekends. Stay alert, stay focused and stay safe.

On Labour Day, Stand with Nurses Help us ensure that British Columbians get the healthcare they need, when they need it. Sign our on-line petition to improve patient safety through safe staffing.

WILLIAMS (CROAKER) Edna Evelyn Dec. 25, 1917 ~ Aug. 19, 2012

“Always on our minds….

Forever in our hearts” Edna Lundstrom of Abbotsford BC died peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, Aug. 19, 2012, at the age of 94 in her residence at the Menno Home in Abbotsford. Her partner and husband of over 50 years Robert “Bob” Lundstrom passed in 1996.

Edna was predeceased by her parents George and DeEtta Croaker, her sisters Lucella and Dorothy, as well as brothers Henry and Ernie. The passing of her 2 daughters, Patricia Lundstrom, in her infancy, and Judith Olson in 2009, as well her granddaughter, Charlene Olivier, left a void that Edna lived with all her remaining years. Great Grandma “Edna” is survived by her sons and their families, Dale (West Vancouver), Gerry (Vernon), Dennis (Langley), and Bill (Chilliwack), her sister DeEtta (Vi) Smith of Abbotsford and brother, Wesley Croaker, of Enderby BC. “Great” leaves many nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren throughout BC. She was a long term resident of the Matsqui and Bradner area. Born in Vancouver in 1917 Edna came to live in Bradner with her family as a young girl. Her parents, George and DeEtta Croaker remained in the area for the balance of their lives. The Croaker family was well known and still has many roots in the area. Edna met her husband “Bob Lundstrom” in the early thirties, they married in Seattle in 1938. The two of them, along with other family members, operated the family farm on Harris Rd. for many years.

Many old timers will remember the uniqueness of the operation, a go to place with a large machine shop and home of the Matsqui Airfield. It was only in later years that the farming became a bit too much to handle, Edna and Bob moved to Abbotsford to enjoy their retirement. They loved travelling in their motorhome, visiting family and friends whenever they could get away. Edna will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother and all around great friend by all who knew her. The staff at Menno Home commented many times on the talent Edna had for story telling. “Never a dull moment when Edna was around” was often said. Edna’s desire was that there be no public funeral and wished to be remembered by the many good times she had with all over the last 9 decades. A private family memorial service will be held at a later date.
