Brian Patchett was on his way to a bright future. He was just two credits away from earning his high school diploma, and had aspirations to become a chef or a doctor. He was the doting father of two young children, and he and his wife, Liz Squires, were looking forward to celebrating their fifth anniversary on Oct. 7. Instead, Squires is now coping with the death of her husband in a single-car crash Sunday morning in Abbotsford. “It’s pretty devastating. It’s pretty hard to look at the future and what that’s going to be like,” she told The News on Monday morning. Patchett, who would have turned 23 on Oct. 18, was in the back seat Continued on A4

New pest attacking berry crops Some question use of pesticides to combat insects

Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

Most people are familiar with fruit flies, which usually appear when ripe fruit is left out. But growers in Abbotsford are dealing with a new species of the pest – new to B.C. – that has evolved a serrated “saw,” which allows it to cut through the skin of healthy, still-plump fruit, and lay eggs in it. Ministry of Agriculture berry specialist Mark Sweeney explained the spotted wing drosophila is damaging to crops because the fruit goes soft. “The products we harvest need to have shelf life,” said Sweeney, adding that blueberries in particular are typically shipped long distances. He said blueberries are a popular crop locally, but the fly does not discriminate, and will go after grapes, all berries and all sweet, soft-skinned fruits. “It can be quite damaging.” The federal government has allowed farmers to spray insecticide to protect their crops, on an emergency basis, which causes concern in the organic farming community. The spotted wing drosophila is common in China and other parts of Asia, but was first found in B.C. in 2009. In 2010, farmers faced their first full growing season

The spotted wing drosophila is a new challenge for local fruit growers.

with the bug present, and it was a challenging year. In 2011, populations were lighter. This year, the fly infestation was heavier early in the season, but at this point appears to have abated somewhat. Government entomologists and producer associations are scrambling for a solution. “There’s a whole lot of work going on in North American, and in fact around the world,” said Sweeney.

The federal government has approved five insecticide sprays for producers to protect their crops. Emergency registration products approved for the control of spotted wing drosophila in B.C. for the 2012 season are Delegate (spinetoram), Entrust (spinosad), Malathion (malathion), Pyganic (pyrethrins) and Ripcord (cypermethrin). Both Entrust and Pyganic are acceptable for organic crop production. These sprays have been tested for safety, said Sweeney. He said spraying is “a fact of life with growing agricultural crops,” and added it is always advisable to wash fruit before consumption. The provincial government has traps throughout the cropping region so it can track the spotted wing drosophila population. “We don’t want to be putting on unnecessary sprays,” Sweeney said. However, according to those who produce organic food, spraying insecticides to deal with the spotted drosophila is a knee-jerk reaction that highlights the problems in B.C. agriculture. Chris Bodnar is a director with the B.C. Association for Regenerative Agriculture, which gives farms their “certified organic” status, and he also farms at the Glen Continued on A11

NewsBytes dry spell record Abbotsford may be in the middle of a record dry spell. The last time there was so little rain through August and September was 1974, when there was 16.3 mm. Normal precipitation for those months is 48mm and 54mm, respectively, or 102mm in total. So far, Abbotsford has received just 11.4 mm of rain in the past two months. The Environment Canada forecast calls for a mix of sun and cloud through Sunday, but there is a 30 per cent chance of showers on Friday.

United way fUnding The United Way of the Fraser Valley has announced it has a record amount of grant money available to organizations addressing the issues of poverty, homelessness and the success of children up to six years old. The agency will provide $139,000 this year. This compares to just over $30,000 four years ago, said executive director Wayne Green. He said the increased amount is due to some successful fundraising campaigns that have enabled the United Way to reduce its costs. Last year, the grants helped fund two youth housing initiatives – Autumn House and Cyrus Centre. The deadline for grant applications this year is Nov. 15.

Broken water main Just before 4 a.m. on Friday, fire crews were called to the corner of George Ferguson Way and Park Drive for a report of a water main break. When crews arrived, they found water flowing out of the ground and down Park Drive, pooling at a low area. Unfortunately for one homeowner, the water found its way into the basement, and flooded it to a depth of more than two feet. At the height of the flood, water was approximately half a metre deep.

A cold case timeline

n On Sept. 24, 1975, KathrynMary went to the home of her friend, Corrie Premack, at 2089 Peardonville Rd., and stayed for a spaghetti dinner. n Corrie and her sister Connie walked Kathryn-Mary home, accompanied by Bradley McCullough. At the junction of Townline and Peardonville, the sisters turned back. Bradley doubled Kathryn-Mary on his bike to the corner of Townline and Marshall, and then left her to walk approximately 300 metres to her house at 31215 King Rd. n A couple driving past saw the

pair talking, and as they continued they saw a parked older-model white vehicle with a lone male occupant. They took notice of the car, because there had been gas thefts in the neighbourhood. It was parked on the route between KathrynMary’s last known location and her home. n Kathryn-Mary never made it home, and at 10:52 p.m. her mother reported her missing to police. n Two months later her body was discovered under a pile of old plywood and boards on Matsqui First Nations land.

Reptile Guy fundraising Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

The Reptile Guy has a “perfect” new location, a business plan for a reptile rescue facility, and a cadre of lizards and snakes that conforms with B.C.’s new exotic species laws. Now all he needs is money. Mike Hopcraft has had media exposure for rescuing an alligator and an African tortoise that had a handle bolted onto its shell. So, it is no surprise that his online donation campaign has garnered some $4,000. But he is well short of the $10,000 he needs to raise to afford a new Riverside Road facility that will be available on Oct. 1. His last warehouse had to be shut down. He had animals that he could not display to the public after the province banned exotic pets such as snakes over nine feet long, venomous animals and crocodilians. Hopcraft said he will not deal with prohibited animals, and will run a business that includes selling supplies to owners of snakes and lizards, in addition to appearances at events, and running a rescue and education centre. He appears at birthday parties and schools, and visits malls where he runs a “Fear Factor” type event using big spiders and snakes. He’s optimistic about the future if he gets the new site. “We’ve tried and failed, and learned from our mistakes,”

he said. “This is my passion. It’s what I do, and this is what I’ve always done.” He and a friend originally started out in business to breed reptiles for sale as pets, but he soon

found a far greater demand for rescue work. Often parents buy their child a pet reptile, without realizing how big it can get, how much care it requires, or how long it will live. Too often

kids grow up and leave home, leaving an unwanted reptile behind, and The Reptile Guy will provide a rescue facility for these creatures. “There’s no greater satisfaction than saving lives,” said Hopcraft. > AL >> ORIGIN His hobby/business has outgrown the house that presently is home to his family and his reptiles. Hopcraft recently became a father, there is only one spare room in the house, and his 50or-so snakes, lizards, turtles, tortoises, frogs, tarantulas and scorpions have it filled to capacity.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Tuesday, September 25, 2012

One way to avoid attention “They’ve been punished by the media coverage.” This phrase, or variations of it, is often used by defence lawyers lobbying for lighter sentences for their clients. We even hear it from judges. And they all have a point… but only to a point. Indeed, anyone accused of a crime who is unlucky enough to get unwanted media attention pays a price. Some readers or viewers no doubt will rush to judgment, convinced that only the guilty get charged. Sadly, this is not always the case. Innocent people – and all are deemed innocent until proven guilty, in the eyes of our system – suffer from that same system in which justice is meant to be conducted in public. However, once a guilty plea is entered or a conviction rendered, it should be incumbent on the courts to consider any suffering caused by public scrutiny to be off-limits when sentencing. Recently, the lawyer for confessed dog thief Louise Reid told the judge that a news article on her involvement in

stealing dogs was posted on a bulletin board at her work; and a front-page story appeared in the newspaper her granddaughter delivers. We can only hope Judge Peder Gulbransen did not consider that as “punishment” when he gave her a oneyear probation and ordered her to pay $2,500 in restitution, as the dog was never returned. The argument in court is almost always along the lines that news reports caused the offender embarrassment. The question that must be asked is, what exactly did the guilty parties think would happen? Did they only decide to break the law because they thought no one would find out? The media exists to inform the public of what is happening in their communities; to help recognize those who do well and hold accountable those who choose to act outside the law. There is a simple way to minimize the discomfort: don’t break the law. – Black Press

This ‘business plan’ is seriously flawed Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand TransLink, the provider of transit services throughout Metro Vancouver, has just discovered the guiding principle upon which it is created is not only flawed, it is doomed to failure. The agency requires funding to operate its various systems, be they SkyTrain, buses or other forms of mass transit. The driving force behind transit is to not only move people efficiently at modest cost to the user, it is also to improve the environment and air quality by getting people out of their cars. The flaw in TransLink’s business plan, however, is that its funding is based primarily on revenues from taxation on gasoline, consumed by the very cars they want to get off the road. What was not taken into consideration, it appears, is that by getting people out of their vehicles and onto transit, they

have seriously eroded their financial bottom line. What also does not seem to have been considered is that world demand has made, and will continue to make, cars much more efficient and thus consume far less fuel on which taxes are based. Couple that with considerably cheaper fuel available minutes away just south of the border, and revenue generation and the financial ability to provide service will continue to decline. Which leaves TransLink with only a few options – reduce service to put people back in cars; change the funding formula to taxation on property; or charge a whack more for riding transit. The latter is obviously the most appropriate course of action, but to truly make transit a user-pay system would cause it to be so expensive that, again, people would return to their personal transportation. So, between a rock and hard place on which to base its future, the only method that appears workable for TransLink under its present set-up is

a property tax sufficient to continuously operate the system. But that should only be applied to properties within a transit catchment area, sure to create howls of indignation from those in downtown Vancouver who argue against it because they can either walk to work and shopping or ride their bicycles.

TransLink is between a rock and a hard place on which to base its future... And for those who live throughout the rest of Metro, such as Langley and parts of Surrey which are beyond SkyTrain, or never see a bus in their neighbourhood, a similar and justifiable protest will be launched. Those current and future objections to potential increased property taxes, you can be assured, are a hot topic among civic politicians gathered this week in Victoria for the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities

convention – because there is nothing like possible tax increases to place in jeopardy one’s political future on town and city councils. So, does TransLink really have a future? Of course, mass transit is the only way to properly address people movement in a congested environment – think London, New York, Tokyo. However, those cities have populations close to or greater than double the population of all of British Columbia. Add to that the fact that “Vancouver” (a.k.a. the Lower Mainland) has the second-most congested traffic situation in North America, bowing only to Greater Los Angeles which has, by the way, the largest mass transit system in the U.S. Our problem will be trying to make the system here come close to paying for itself, and with gasoline tax revenues on an irreversible downward trend, that leaves only user pay, increased property taxes, or full subsidy by taxpayers throughout the province. The latter, I’m loath to say, may be the only viable answer. If you have another, let me know. markrushton@abbynews.com

letters

Chilliwack GC not in the red

In a Sept. 20 Abbotsford News letter to the editor Tom Hall has falsely noted that “Chilliwack GC (Golf Club) is $1.4 million in the red.” I would like to make it clear that Mr. Hall has no connection to Chilliwack Golf Club and has no factual basis for providing this information nor is he in a position to comment on the financial status of our club. In reality, the Chilliwack Golf Club is having financial success and has managed to provide a stable and successful golfing operation for our members and the public, even during these challenging economic times. It is true that many golf courses have suffered during the recession, as golfers have been forced to adjust their spending habits. In addition to the recession, an oversupply of golf courses in the Fraser Valley has made it challenging for golf course operators to compete. However; even in these challenging economic times,

Chilliwack Golf Club has managed to maintain excellent course conditions, strong customer service and most importantly a positive operating bottom line. Chilliwack Golf Club and its members support the efforts of Ledgeview Golf Course and ideally we would like to see a resurgence in the game of golf in the Fraser Valley. To assist with this the Chilliwack Golf Club has implemented initiatives to help grow the game of golf and introduce the game to potential new players. To this end the Chilliwack Golf Academy was formally launched in the spring of 2012. We have partnered with Sardis High School to host their Golf School and Academy in addition to providing golf scholarships to all three Chilliwack high schools. We’ve kept our annual junior membership fee below $300 and provided the juniors with a weekly fun golf competitions. In the past 12 months Chilliwack

Two men sentenced for assault at local pub Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Two men have been sentenced to house arrest for their role in a stabbing outside an Abbotsford pub in August 2010. Bhavdeep Deol, 23, and Herman Sidhu, 22, were both initially charged with aggravated assault but pleaded guilty earlier this year to the less-

er charge of assault causing bodily harm. Each was sentenced last Tuesday in Abbotsford provincial court to a conditional sentence — 12 months for Deol and nine months for Sidhu. Deol also received one year’s probation, and both were given a 10-year weapons ban. Co-accused Gurparit Gill, 32, was sen-

tenced in May 2011 to a four-year jail term for aggravated assault. The trio were charged after a 24-year-old man was attacked as he left Finnegan’s Pub and Grill – located on King Road adjacent to the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre – on Aug. 22, 2010. The victim was punched,

kicked and stabbed three times in the arms and torso. His assailants left the scene and were stopped by police a short distance away. Sidhu, who was driving the vehicle, was charged with failure to provide a breath sample at the scene, but later pleaded guilty to driving a motor vehicle without due care and at-

Valley Organic Farm Cooperative. Bodnar has made the decision not to use even the sprays that would allow him to keep his certified organic status, because of the effect they could have on the ecosystem. “The problem is, it is also lethal to pollenaters, like bees,” he said. What’s more, he said the too-frequent use of insecticides can have seriously unintended consequences, as bugs build up resistance. “If you misuse it, you risk creating superbugs,” he asserts. The Glen Valley farm grows a wide variety of crops including carrots, beets, parsnips and greens, and the produce is sold at farmers markets. Bodnar includes other plants such as flowers in the field, and these will attract predator insects such as ladybugs and wasps. He said because so many producers plant the same berry crops

tention. He was fined $400 and given a fourmonth driving prohibition in March of this year. Meanwhile, Deol was expected to enter a guilty plea on anoth-

er set of charges. He was charged in July 2011 with obstructing a police officer, “personation” with intent to avoid arrest, and breach of his bail conditions.

The charges resulted after Deol was pulled over by police and allegedly did not provide his driver’s licence and identified himself as someone else.

Pacific Region headquarters on Gladys Avenue. He was standing in front of a bus that had taken him across Canada, after he began a nationwide tour at Nova Institution in Nova Scotia five weeks earlier. “Our security is yours too,” was painted on the bus, and that is the general message the union wanted to give the public. The corrections officers had marched in front of the regional administrative building, blowing horns and waving union banners. Pacific Region president Gord Robertson explained corrections staff are becoming impatient with a federal government that is passing new laws designed to get tough on crime, while closing institutions – two in Ontario and one in Quebec. “They’re reducing beds but increasing the number of inmates,” he said. He said the public also needs to be aware that corrections officers face increasingly complex and dangerous situations in prisons, with more inmates having gang affiliations. A Chilliwack officer recently had her face slashed by an inmate with a homemade knife while working at Kent in Agassiz. The attack severed an artery, and caused a life-threatening injury. “That’s a real example of what we’re facing,” said Robertson. He said corrections officers are a hidden branch of law enforcement. The UCCO has been negotiating a new collective agreement for two and a half years. He said health and safety, shift scheduling and salary are among the issues. He called Abbotsford a “corrections town,” and noted that of the 1,150 union members in the Pacific Region, 460 work in Abbotsford. He believed the rally was a success. “It makes them aware that we’re here, and that if we have to, we’ll get loud.”

JEWELLERY & ACCESSORY FASHION SHOW, ENTERTAINMENT & SILENT AUCTION

Thank you Abbotsford For choosing us #1 FAV

Jillian Haima, a 12-year-old Grade 7 student of Abbotsford School of Integrated Arts, has been chosen to be part of Team Canada in the World Dance Championships to be held in Frankfurt, Germany, Oct. 2-8. Haima, who dances at Project Dance in Chilliwack, qualified for the junior category following a challenging western Canada audition process. She will perform in group jazz and modern dance numbers. “I am so excited to be part of the Canadian dance team,” she said. “I can’t wait to represent Canada on the world stage in Germany. I’m so thankful to my teachers and to my friends, family and the community for their support so far.” She is currently immersed in a rigorous practice schedule in the coming days to perfect the group numbers. Canadian dance teams have over 20 world titles to their credit in previous competitions and have received their gold medals in a podium ceremony complete with national anthem and flag-raising. “It is such an honour for a dancer to represent Canada on the world stage,” said Project Dance owner Amanda Quinton. “Jillian is very skilled, works hard and is a good role model. She is a great representative and I know she will give it her all.” Haima is now fundraising to help offset expenses for her trip to Germany. Business or service group sponsorships are welcome to assist. For more information, contact Quinton at projectdance@shaw.ca.

HUGE ANTIQUE AUCTION

Famed nature, landscape photographers to speak

The 35th annual Abbotsford Photo Arts Club photographic seminar is set for Oct. 27 and 28. This is the largest seminar of its kind in Western Canada. Keynote speakers include renowned nature and landscape photographers John and Barbara Gerlach, who will make presentations on both days. The event is held in two different communities. On Saturday, Oct. 27, the seminar takes place at the Mennonite Educational Institute located at 4081 Clearbrook Rd. in Abbotsford. The next day, it moves to Burnaby at the Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 MacPherson Ave. The first day includes two presentations by

the Gerlachs as well as 32 hours of available workshops covering a broad range of topics. As always, a trade show offers the opportunity to view and purchase the latest in cameras, gear, software, and photographic services. The second day is a relaxed morning and afternoon spent with the Gerlachs. It allows attendees to sit back in the plush theatre seats and soak in the imagery, instruction, and stories of this dynamic duo who have over half a century of experiences to draw from. John and Barbara are adept at conveying the joy and love they feel for nature. The public can register for individual days or take in both.

By day he’s a professor of photojournalism at Mount Royal University – the only professor at a university in Alberta to lecture on the topic. But on the weekend he’s on the road with his photo show – a one-day course that covers what he counts as the essentials for great photographs. And he’s bringing his course to Abbotsford on Saturday, Oct. 27. He’s Richard Erlendson, a photojournalist and professor who specializes in photojournalism. “My course is not technical in nature. It’s not about learning to use a camera. It’s a course about composition, and using natural lighting. It’s about design, perspective, and strategies photojournalists use in their everyday work,” he says. What’s unique about his course is that it doubles as a multi-media show about photography. “In my work as a professor, I’ve created a categorization system – six categories and 100 specific concepts that I illustrate with about 1,000 photographs taken over the past 35 years. “People who enjoy photography especially like this aspect of my course,” says Erlendson. Erlendson says its a rich experience for photographers on all points of the continuum. “Beginners seem to vault forward in their new interest in photography and longtime enthusiasts also report moving their

Five new exhibits set to open at The Reach

The Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford is presenting five new exhibitions which open Sept. 27 and run until Jan. 6, 2013. The first show,

called “the heart that has no love/pain/ generosity is not a heart,” takes place in the great hall and was co-created by Vancouver-based artist Jayce Salloum

and Afghan-Hazara and artist Khadim Ali. Curated by Haema Sivanesan, this multi-faceted installation comprises an archive of photo-

graphs, miniature paintings and videos which examine the aftermath of the destruction of the colossal fifth century Buddhas of the Bamiyan Valley in

Central Afghanistan in 2001. The next exhibit is “Illuminating Peace” by Edmonton artist Amy Loewan. It consists of woven banners suspended from

the ceiling, complemented by a largescale illuminated, eight-panel lantern made of woven rice paper strips that contain messages of peace.

Working out at home Summer isn’t the only time you should be thinking about buying some fitness equipment. By Kerry Vital

Gordon Wilson of G. Wilson Construction says that the new owners of this Point Grey house lived in the area and had always admired the home. However, the property was overgrown so they needed a lot of professional help to restore it to its former glory. Martin Knowles photo

Bringing new life to a run-down home G. Wilson Construction works with architect Sean Ruf to restore a house from 1932. By Maggie Calloway What do you do when you buy a fantastic one-acre lot in a prime area of Point Grey which comes complete with a very large home? What if the house hasn’t been updated for scores of years, if in fact nature is trying its best to take back the land by sending saplings and various botanical specimens through any crack she can ﬁnd including a tree growing out of a couch on

the top ﬂoor? You make the decision to strip back the house to its bones and rebuild if you are the client of G. Wilson Construction! “This home of approximately 5,000 square feet was originally built by the grandfather of the woman from whom the house and property was purchased; she had lived in the house her whole life, so it had been in the same family since it was built in 1932,” says Wilson. “The house was designed by the same team that designed the Marine Building, McCarter & Nairne and located in what must have been countryside at the time.” The footprint of the house stayed the same and the exterior of the building was not changed.

A few areas had to be rebuilt and some of the dormers were rotten but they were rebuilt to be identical to the originals. “Our clients lived in the area and used to walk by this house a lot, and always admired the house. The house was obviously in disrepair with old cars in the driveway, the property overgrown and the roof rotten, but they felt there was something charming about it and they could see what it could become,” Wilson says. “We originally walked through the house, which was a disaster but we could see past it and that the house was basically straight and had stood the

The holiday season is coming, and you’re pretty sure you’ll be indulging in some delicious food. But the holiday weight gain isn’t inevitable. Investing in some home gym equipment might be just the thing you need to prevent those pounds from sneaking on this year. “What you need is specific to the goals of the individual,” says Dai Manuel, chief operating officer for Fitness Town. “I recommend at least one resistance and one cardio (machine).” Cardio machines include treadmills, elliptical trainers, rowing machines and stationary bikes. Treadmills and ellipticals are still hugely popular, but recently Manuel has seen an increase in functional training machines, which allow you to do several exercises with the same piece of equipment. “They’re awesome machines,” he says. “They’re all-in-one and versatile.” A current trend in fitness, whether it’s at the gym or at

test of time. The interior needed major work including electrical and plumbing to bring it up to code but with the exception of ... some of the rooms (being) opened up to bring in more light and to create larger rooms, the layout remained the same.” The house has three floors, with the bedrooms on the top floor and some in the typical old unfinished basement of the era which had lower ceilings. “No question it was a challenge, 5,000 square feet of a complete gut job and renovation and the clients wanted to take residence in eight months,” says Wilson. “A further surprise was the clients decided they wanted the basement lowered three feet to make it usable, all in the same eight months. The approach we take on a project this size, after documenting every detail, is to remove everything that can be reused, repaired or salvaged. Anything we didn’t reuse which still had some life in it was donated.” They took down all the light fixtures and sent to them off to storage. The beautiful front staircase was completely covered with plywood to protect it from any damage. The fireplaces were protected in place and a few other features were removed and catalogued. All the interior doors and hardware were re-

moved and stored. When that was done they went in and completely gutted the house right down to the studs. “We then brought in the structural engineers and they went through what was required to bring the house up to twenty-ﬁrst century standards,” Wilson says. “Next we removed all the electrical wiring and all the plumbing. All the mechanics were removed including a big old boiler in the basement covered in asbestos.” Once the house was rewired, replumbed and all new mechanics installed it was on to the good stuff. The old kitchen, dinette and dining room became the new kitchen and dining room. “Sean (Ruf), the architect, did an amazing job modernizing the house and at the same time leaving the timeless elegance of the era,” Wilson says. “Even in the kitchen which is very modern the hardware on the doors is the original and it looks fantastic next to this streamlined room.” Well done to all who worked on this project and the owners who fell in love and had the sensibility to see past the surface and were willing to invest.

Building the perfect home gym starts with finding a pleasing place to put it “ from page.23 home, is to exercise in ways that actually mirror real life movements. Many oldfashioned strength moves aren’t actually applicable to how your muscles move on a daily basis, so machines that make you work the muscles that you do use are important. “There’s a rise in sports like Crossfit,” says Manuel. “It’s functional fitness.” Crossfit is an exercise program where people do daily workouts using jump ropes, dumbbells and their own body weight, as well as other types of apparatus. Another popular program right now is P90X, short for Power 90 Extreme. It is an at-home regimen that lasts 90 days and includes yoga, martial arts, aerobic exercise and weight training. Manuel says he’s seen many people purchase the program lately, because it doesn’t need to be done at a gym and uses minimal equipment. “There’s a convenience factor there,” he says. When you picture weight training, you probably think of a full set of free weights and a bench, with muscle men grunting and straining to finish that last repetition. However, that’s not all that’s available anymore. New innovations in strength training include weighted kettlebells, Steelbells, which are made of neoprene and filled with steel shot, weighted body bars, and weighted ropes and chains (perhaps not something to do if you live in an apartment). As always, there are still the classic barbells and dumbbells, but now they can be brightly coloured and wrapped in neoprene to lessen the chance of calluses. When it comes to where to put your home gym, Manuel says it’s important to put it in a place that you actually want to visit. “If it’s not a space that you enjoy, it will become a reason not to exercise,” he says, adding that many people put their gym in a

spare bedroom or garage because they’re easy places to put equipment. “If you don’t make it easy, you won’t do it,” he says. While some people can run on a treadmill without getting bored, others need something to distract them. Installing a television or grabbing your iPod might help you forget that you’re burning calories. A common misconception that many people have is that you need a large space to exercise in, but Manuel says that’s untrue. “You can do incredible things in tight spaces. ... I can give people a workout with just a medicine ball.” When deciding on what kind of equipment to buy, consult a professional for some tips. “It’s really speciﬁc to the goals of the individual,” Manuel says. “What are you trying to accomplish?” And lest you worry about getting bored with your routine and therefore stopping before you see results, Manuel says that shouldn’t be a problem. “There are lots of tools readily available,” he says. “You’re not doing the same thing every day. There is a lot more variety.” If you’re feeling a little bit tender after a workout, you don’t have to suffer. While it’s completely normal to feel a bit of soreness when you’re doing a new routine, don’t push yourself into an injury. “You have to go by how you feel,” Manuel says. Fitness and sports stores carry several pieces of equipment that can be used to untie some of your knots, from foam rollers to the plain old tennis ball. It is always recommended to consult your doctor before starting on any ﬁtness regimen, especially if you haven’t worked out in a long time or if you have any injuries or health problems.

value for their insulation properties and price,” says Lovell. “It is now possible to get good quality painted vinyl that allows you to get creative if you wish.” When energy efficiency is on the top of your list, the glass makes a difference as well. “The number of panes of glass combined with reflective coatings and an inert gas fill such as argon between the panes provides increased energy efficiency,” Lovell says. The installation of your windows also must be taken into account, since everything can be undone if it’s not completed properly. “Poor installation can negate superior window performance,” says Lovell. “Unless you are doing extensive renovations it is often best to have one company to do both the supply and the installation. They are the ones most familiar with their products and will often warranty not only the product but their installation for a period of years.” Government grants and rebates for installing energy-efficient windows are available through BC Hydro’s LiveSmart program. The ENERGY STAR system rates windows by zone, with the Lower Mainland being Zone A. Installing a window that is rated for this zone will garner you a rebate, but Lovell recommends installing a window rated for one zone higher, which will give you an even better rebate. “It doubles the rebate” per window, he says, “from $30 to $60.” Energy efficiency is a growing trend in both new home construction and renovations, but it is more than a passing fad. Keeping your energy costs low will save you money in the long run as well as protecting the planet.

However, the cost savings aren’t the only concern when you’re thinking about replacing old windows. “Many people are replacing single-glazed aluminum windows with energy-efficient vinyl frames, (which increases) their personal comfort and health by preventing drafts, condensation and potential mold or mildew growth,” says Lovell. “Not only are old metal frames greater conductors of heat, they are also doing a great job of conducting noise as well. Newer frames and double-glazing can significantly reduce the noise on the inside of a home or an apartment.” Lovell also notes that many older windows don’t meet current building requirements, so they can be a safety issue if not replaced. If you’re concerned about the sun doing damage to your skin, the energy-efficient coating on new windows also offers protection from harmful UV rays. When you’re considering replacing your windows, it’s best to think about a few things first. “The objective should be to get the overall best value for your budget,” says Lovell. “To do this it is always best to have a knowledgeable salesperson review the options with you at your home.” Great companies will offer free in-home estimates, which will give you a better idea of what is in store for you. With many different options available to you, it’s best to consider the type of glass and type of frame that you are looking for. “Typically vinyl frames offer the best overall

Jake’s time to shine Highly touted prospect Virtanen now a full-time WHLer

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Conventional wisdom holds that 16-yearold rookies rarely make an instant impact in the Western Hockey League, arguably the toughest junior circuit on the planet. But it took just one memorable play to convince Jake Virtanen that he could be an exception to the rule. Last season, the right winger from Abbotsford was called up by the Calgary Hitmen for a game against the Vancouver Giants at Pacific Coliseum. Just past the midway point of the first period, he carried the puck out of his own zone and shifted into high gear. Giants centre Cain Franson met him at the blue line, but Virtanen treated him like a pylon, weaving to the outside. Vancouver defenceman Brett Kulak tried to cut him off along the boards at the red line, but Virtanen slipped the puck under his stick and blew by him to the inside. Then he beat VIRTANEN another Giants D-man, Wes Vannieuwenhuizen, to the front of the net, and snapped a gloveside shot past goalie Adam Morrison. An end-to-end rush like that requires an almost preposterous skill set, and the play was all the more remarkable considering the youngster was just 15 at the time, ineligible to play full-time in the WHL. “Something like that really catches your eye,” Hitmen coach Mike Williamson told The News this week, reflecting on the goal, which made the WHL’s plays of the week. “He’s got an incredible set of skills. His acceleration and his ability to go from almost a dead stop to full speed, and his change of gears is something you don’t see in a lot of players.” Virtanen, who notched three goals and an assist in nine regular season games with the Hitmen last season, is perhaps the most promising 16-year-old hockey prospect Abbotsford has ever produced, befitting his status as the first overall pick in the 2011 WHL bantam draft. A headline in the Calgary Herald last week – “Super rookie Virtanen embarks on

full-time WHL duty” – captured the level of expectation he’s facing this fall. Handling that type of pressure, along with adjusting to living away from home for the first time while juggling schoolwork and a demanding hockey schedule, is a lot to ask of a youngster. But Virtanen says it

doesn’t faze him. “I just go with the flow,” he said. “I try to focus on my game and do the simple things right.” Indeed, Virtanen has blunted the degree of difficulty for his rookie season in terms of schoolwork. The past two years, he enrolled Continued on A34

Can anyone stop the W.J. Mouat Hawks' offence? After four absurdly explosive performances to open the 2012 high school football season, it's a fair question. The Hawks, No. 2 in the B.C. AAA rankings, have lit up the scoreboard to the tune of 56.3 points per game during non-conference play. Their latest victim was the No. 3-ranked Vancouver College Fighting Irish, who were on the receiving end of a 53-31 beat-down on Friday evening at Mouat Field. Tailback Maleek Irons has been the Hawks' headliner, and he was at it again against the Irish, rushing for 299 yards on 22 carries and scoring four touchdowns – three on the ground, one on a pass from QB Mario Narte. Mouat coach Denis Kelly, now in his 26th year with the program, says the biggest difference this season has been the offensive line. "I don't think we've had this strong of an offensive line as far as athletic ability," he said, speaking of the quintet of Sheriden Lawley, Stephen Munga, Nick Westad, Levi Hua and Matt McGregor. "Then we've got Maleek Irons's running ability, and we're starting to diversify Continued on A35

Pilots’ penalty killers come up big Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

A lethal penalty kill was the difference for the Abbotsford Pilots on Friday, as they beat the Aldergrove Kodiaks 5-2 at MSA Arena. The Kodiaks had 11 power plays, including a pair of fiveon-threes, but the Pilots’ shorthanded brigade snuffed each and every one of Aldergrove’s manadvantage chances. “Our penalty kill

was outstanding,” enthused Pilots coach Jim Cowden, offering special plaudits to forwards Luke Venema, Brandon Daase, Colton Cowden and Chris Vinette. “I knew going in that we’d be good, because we have a lot of our guys on the PK back from last year. “They get in lanes, they block shots, they do the little things that matter.” The Pilots took

a 3-2 lead into the third period, with Austin Edwards, Kyle Star and Keith Bendall scoring for the home side. Vinette played the role of closer – he scored an insurance goal with 3:59 remaining in the final frame, then rounded out the scoring with an empty-netter. Goalie Aaron Oakley has been the

Pilots’ best player in the early going this season, and he was outstanding once again against Aldergrove, stopping 33 of 35 shots. n The Pilots (2-10) visit the Mission Outlaws on Thursday (7:15 p.m., Mission Leisure Centre). On Friday, they host the Grandview Steelers (7:30 p.m., MSA Arena).

Schoolwork part of Virtanen’s comprehensive WHL prep

From A32

in summer school at Yale Secondary. By working ahead, he only needs to take two courses – Earth Science and Biology 11 – at St. Anne Academic Centre in Calgary this fall. “This is my Grade 11 year, but I’m pretty much done all my Grade 11 classes,” he noted. “It was pretty tough – I didn’t get

to hang out with my friends much in the summer. “But getting prepared for the WHL was my No. 1 thing. I don’t want to be doing homework on a game day, right? I want to be focusing and getting prepared.” Virtanen also has a mini-support system in Southern Alberta. The Hitmen have two other forwards

from Abbotsford – Joey Kornelsen, 19, and Chase Clayton, 18 – and Virtanen’s older brother Stefan plays nearby for the junior A Drumheller Dragons. Virtanen, a budding power forward at 6’1”, 190 pounds, was held off the scoresheet in the Hitmen’s first two regular-season games last weekend. But he’s determined to be

a difference-maker, and his coach believes he’s capable of that. “He has the physical abilities to play at this level and contribute right now,” Williamson said. “He just has to learn the game and keep improving.” ‘THE DUB’ SPRINKLED WITH ABBY PROSPECTS Virtanen is one of seven Abbotsford

players to begin the season in the WHL. n Joey Kornelsen, C, Calgary Hitmen Kornelsen was traded from the Moose Jaw Warriors to the Hitmen last season. He registered 10 goals and 16 assists in 63 combined games. n Chase Clayton, C, Calgary Hitmen A first-round bantam draft choice by the Hitmen in 2009,

Clayton had 12 goals and 15 assists in 57 games in 2011-12. n Mackenzie Skapski, G, Kootenay Ice After backing up fellow Abby native Nathan Lieuwen last season, Skapski is expected to carry the goaltending load in Cranbrook this fall. n Dalton Sward, C, Vancouver Giants Sward was slowed by a separated shoulder, but still managed 11 goals and 11 assists in 54 games last season. He was invited to the

Vancouver Canucks’ summer rookie camp. n Austin Ferguson, RW, Kelowna Rockets The gritty winger was a rookie role player with the Rockets in 2011-12, posting one goal and three assists in 56 games. n Matt Revel, C, Saskatoon Blades Revel began this season with the junior A Chilliwack Chiefs, but the chance to play for the Memorial Cup host squad was too good to pass up. He joined the Blades last week.

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

with our passing. We're becoming pretty multi-dimensional." Narte also rushed for two majors and threw a scoring pass to Clovis Lumeka, and Crysthian Rivas chipped in 111 rush yards and a TD. BATEMAN 42, HUGH BOYD 0 It seems to be the year of the Grade 11 running back in Abbotsford. As Irons runs wild for the Hawks, Robert Bateman tailback Ben Cummings has also found consistent success. He put together a breakthrough performance on Friday, blazing through the Hugh Boyd Trojans defence for 307 rushing yards and four TDs on just 13 carries. "It was impressive, but it's what we expect of Ben," Bateman assistant coach Rick MacDonald said, noting Cummings is averaging 13.6 yards per carry this season. "We're counting on him to do big things like that for us." The T-Wolves' success on the ground required QB Tanner Friesen to hoist just three passes,

but two of them went for touchdowns to Cole Brien. SQUALICUM 63, ABBY SENIOR 7 After shutout losses to New Westminster and John Barsby to open the preseason, the Abbotsford Senior Panthers got on the scoreboard on Saturday. Unfortunately, a long touchdown pass from Carter Williams to Jordan Goheen was the extent of the offensive production in a road loss to the Squalicum Storm in Bellingham. The deck was undoubtedly stacked against the Panthers – they took just 17 players across the border, due to injuries and the fact several players didn't have a government-issued picture ID. "We've termed our preseason a meat grinder," Panthers coach Jay Fujimura said with a chuckle, alluding to the strength of schedule. "They can look at the rest of the schedule with no fear. They're going to be tough, coming out of that." For more coverage, visit abbynews.com

The University of the Fraser Valley soccer teams both turned in solid performances on the road, picking up four of a possible six points in Alberta on the weekend. The Cascades men (1-2-1) notched their first victory of the young season, blanking the Calgary Dinos 3-0 on Sunday. That result was preceded by a 1-1 draw with the Lethbridge Pronghorns on Saturday. UFV rookie striker Dalibor Plavsic scored his first career CIS goal in the first half against Lethbridge, but Conner Brady leveled the score for the Pronghorns after the break. The next day against the Dinos, the Cascades got goals from James Najman, Justin Sekhon and Sasa Plavsic, while keeper Mark Village stopped all seven shots he saw. “This was a great team effort today, it was a rewarding victory,” UFV head coach Alan Errington said.

The Cascades women (3-1-1) rallied to beat Lethbridge 2-1, and posted a 2-2 draw with Calgary. The Pronghorns led 1-0 at the half on Saturday, but UFV came charging back on goals by Donna Pinning and Paige Friesen. On Sunday, the Dinos fashioned a comeback of their own. The Cascades led 2-0 at the break on a pair of Danica Kump goals, both set up by Carly Neeson, but Calgary’s Amy Hockings and Lauren Vernon tallied to even the score. n The UFV soccer squads are back at their home pitch, Chilliwack’s Exhibition Field, this weekend. On Friday, the women host the Manitoba Bisons (5 p.m.) while the men play the Saskatchewan Huskies (7:15 p.m.). On Saturday, it’s the women vs. the Winnipeg Wesmen (5 p.m.) and the men facing the Alberta Golden Bears (7:15 p.m.).

Henderson’s Funeral Home 604-854-5534

It is with great sadness and appreciation for a life well lived that we announce the passing of a remarkable Mother and Oma, Annemarie Dienstbier. She passed away peacefully at Chilliwack General hospital on September 17, 2012 surrounded in love by her family after a courageous 3 month battle with multiple myeloma. Born in Nuremberg, Germany on August 22, 1935, mom was a kind, loving and caring person. Her greatest joy in life was her children: Conny (Denis), Juergen (Jerri), Guido (Suzanne), Christa (Randy) and 8 wonderful grandchildren: Michael (Amy), Brady, Cameron, Chantal, Eric, Hannah, Riley and little Ellie Marie. She is also survived by her brother in Germany Heiner (Gerlinde) and family Gaby, Sabrina and Christian. She was predeceased by her husband Kurt Dienstbier. Mom’s other passions were her love for 10 pin bowling at Dogwood Lanes in Abbotsford, going on trips with her best friend Mathilde to Laughlin, Nevada and gardening. She was also known for her wonderful gift of German cooking and was always happy to share her favourite foods with family and friends. The family extends heartfelt thanks and deep gratitude to Dr. Bartel and his staff, Margot the home health care nurse and the compassionate nurses at CGH specifically Jacquie, Melissa and many more. We would also like to thank the hospice volunteers who came to visit her at the Waverly and making her last few months more peaceful. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in her name to The Chilliwack Hospice Society. Love is missing some one whenever you’re apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you are close to my heart.” Where ever you are Oma our love will always find you!

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION

Peggy passed away on Sunday, September 16th, 2012 at Pioneer Manor in the city of Sudbury, peacefully, surrounded by those whom she loved, and by those who loved her. Peggy was the soul mate and best friend of John David Keast Sr. (predeceased). She was the loving mother of John David Jr. and his wife Lesley Mitchell of Sudbury, Ann Crane and her husband Alex of Leamington, Ontario, Jim of Sudbury and Michael (predeceased) (Glenda of London). She was predeceased by her parents Jules and Annie Ethier, and sisters Evelyn and Elizabeth. She will be lovingly remembered by her brother Bill and his wife Justine of Abbotsford, B.C. Cherished grandmother (she insisted on being called Peg) and close friend to Jason, Justin, Andrew, Jillian, Jeffrey, Rebecca, Tabitha, and great grandmother (Grand Peg) of Jared, Aidan, Anaya, Roxanna, Nicolaus, and Charlotte. She was loving Aunt Peggy to her nieces and nephews, and other close friends of the family. She had a particularly close relationship with nieces Jane Aaviku, Mary Elizabeth Orlando, and nephew Bob Henderson. Peggy was born and raised in the Belleville, Ontario area. In her youth, she was an excellent student and developed a love of words and writing. She was a past Womens’ Editor for the Belleville Intelligencer. She also wrote an advice column relating to personal and relationship issues. She met her life partner John when they were students at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. They married and moved to Sudbury to raise their family. After a number of years as a homemaker, she went back to school and graduated in social work. She was a social worker with the Children’s Aid Society for the Districts of Sudbury and Manitoulin, eventually becoming a supervisor. Her passion in life was children. She always said the most important gift a child could receive was the gift of good parenting. She strived to be an excellent parent to her children, grandchildren and many others. She was a compassionate mentor and confidant to many friends and associates. She spent countless hours helping those in need, who were ill, in hospital or homebound. On the home front, Peggy showed a flair for interior decorating. Often she would “hold court” in her elegant dining room and grand room at her home on Ramsey Lake. It was said she had the greenest grass on the south shore. Never one to pass up a good party, she loved to entertain family and friends at her home and the family cottage at Trout Lake. She was a prankster and her hijinks were legendary. Her zest for life was reflected in her love of dancing and music, especially “YMCA” by The Village People. Peggy’s interests included playing bridge, reading, golfing, cross country skiing and traveling throughout the world. Responding to her creative writing abilities, she composed stories, poems, plays and skits. She participated in various charitable organizations including the Canadian Club and the IODE. As a person, Peggy had a courageous spirit and a generosity in word and deed. When you met Peggy, the impact was immediate and memorable. She was a loving and caring person who in turn was admired and loved by many friends. She will be dearly missed by all those whose lives were enriched by her presence. She was deeply spiritual and had a strong belief in faith. She was sensitive to the pain in everyone’s life, but felt it was for the greater good when joined with God in eternity. When she was able, she attended Mass and Novenas at St. Patrick’s Church in Sudbury. At Peggy’s request, there will be no visitation or public service. She desired a private, family only service. Family and friends are invited to share their words of comfort and remembrances online, and memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Sudbury-Manitoulin at www. lougheed.org.
