City’s harm reduction ban brings on lawsuit Drug users and advocacy group seek end to ‘discriminatory’ bylaw

Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

A lawsuit has been filed against the City of Abbotsford on behalf of drug users and an advocacy group, arguing that the city has overstepped its authority with a 2005 zoning bylaw prohibiting harm reduction measures in the community.

Scott Bernstein, a lawyer with Pivot Legal Society – a not-for-profit organization that purses legal remedies on issues of poverty and social exclusion – is representing three individuals who use drugs, as well as the BC/Yukon Drug War Survivors. A human rights complaint is also being filed against the city.

They argue restricting public health programs such as needle exchanges that prevent the spread of disease is discriminatory, and beyond municipal jurisdiction to legislate. During a press conference on Tuesday at the civic plaza in Abbotsford, Bernstein Continued on A5

Abbotsford Council will hold a Public Hearing at 7:00 p.m. on May 27, 2013, in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, B.C., under the provisions of the Local Government Act to consider the following bylaw. At the Public Hearing, all persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaw that is the subject of the hearing. The following is a synopsis of the bylaw amending the Zoning Bylaw of the City of Abbotsford, and is not deemed to be an interpretation. A copy of the bylaw and relevant background documentation may be inspected in the Economic Development & Planning Services Department (Second Floor), Abbotsford City Hall, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, B.C., on May 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 27, 2013 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact Planning Services Staff at 604-864-5510. ABBOTSFORD ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW BYLAW NO. 2219-2013

Reminders to Dog Owners

City representatives will soon be visiting Abbotsford neighborhoods, checking for unlicensed dogs. If you own a dog, and do not have a current dog licence, you could be subject to a fine of $75. Dog licences can be renewed online at: www.abbotsford.ca, My City Online, or obtained at City Hall, 32315 South Fraser Way - Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm, except statutory holidays. To receive a discounted rate for a spayed or neutered dog, please provide a copy of a veterinary certificate. If you have any questions about dog licensing, please contact Bylaw Enforcement at 604-864-5512. Licensing your dog shows that you are a responsible pet owner and greatly increases the chance of having your pet returned to you, should it get loose. Licence fees support the return of lost dogs to their homes and helps provide new homes for others. They also help offset the cost of providing animal control services such as dealing with dangerous dogs, resolving barking dog complaints and enforcing leash laws.

Intersection accidents on the rise Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News Abbotsford saw an increase in car crashes at intersections in 2012 as compared to 2011, according to data from ICBC. ICBC released the 2012 crash statistics for the province last week, which showed that the number of accidents at intersections increased in Abbotsford for the first time since 2008. There were roughly 7,560 crashes overall in Abbotsford in 2012, including collisions in parking lots. There were 3,110 injured victims, and 70 pedestrian crashes throughout the year. ICBC also published an online crash map, showing the locations of accidents that occurred at intersections. The map lists the total number of accidents at intersections in Abbotsford at 3,205 in 2008. The number decreased slightly each year, hitting its lowest point at 2,835 in 2011. Of those accidents, 1,332 resulted in injuries. In 2012, both numbers increased to 2,920 accidents with 1,393 resulting in injuries. Const. Ian MacDonald, spokesman for the Abbotsford Police Department (APD), said the APD’s statistics differ from ICBC’s, as their records include only the accidents that APD attended. But he said they noted a high level of accidents last year, leading to the APD’s decision to make road safety a top priority in 2013. MACDONALD “As far as traffic and road safety are concerned, we saw some really alarming numbers (last year).” He said the APD recorded a five per cent increase in accidents with injuries in 2012, and also nine fatal collisions – five more than the previous year. MacDonald said it is difficult to say what accounts for the increase, but it is important to note that many of the accidents are preventable. According to ICBC’s crash map, on and off-ramps at Highway 1 across Abbotsford generally have the most accidents for a single location. The intersection with the most accidents in 2012 was Lonzo Road and Sumas Way, at the on-ramp to Highway 1, with 132 crashes and 63 of those involving injuries. That number is up from 2011, where the same spot saw 91 accidents. The Mt. Lehman Road and Highway 1 on and off-ramps also saw about 111 accidents in 2012 and 41 with injuries. The Fraser Highway and Mt. Lehman turning lane saw 96 accidents in 2012. MacDonald said left turns and the high level of pedestrian-related accidents are a concern that APD will be addressing throughout 2013. “... up to 50 per cent of our collisions are created through left-turn scenarios. “What we’ve asked people to do is stay alert, slow down and to think about safety.”

Abbotsford will host its first ever Fraser Valley Pride event on Saturday, May 25, organized by the Fraser Valley Youth Society (FVYS). John Kuipers, program co-ordinator for FVYS, said there was local demand for a pride event. “(We want) to raise awareness that there are queer people here in the Valley, and bring awareness of the fact that there is support. “We’ve seen how inclusive the community of Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley can be, and we are really excited to celebrate that.” For the past five years, FVYS has held a “Walk Away From Homophobia” event, but decided this year to change the walk into a pride event. “The name change was made to communicate that we feel it’s impor-

An emergency signal being transmitted from an industrial area in Abbotsford late Thursday night and early Friday morning resulted in a military search and rescue helicopter scouring the area. Capt.

Reid said the chopper had already been in the air for training at the time,

The march will be followed by a barbecue by donation at the plaza, at 4 p.m. There will be speeches by community members, volunteers and youth, as well as face painting, games, music and door prizes. At 6 p.m. a screening will be held in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium of the film She’s a Boy I Knew, by Gwen Haworth. At 7:30 p.m. there will be a panel discussion with the film director, and representatives of Fraser Valley Youth Society will answer questions about what FVYS does and what they hope to achieve in the community. Kuipers said they welcome all members of the community to celebrate and take part in the pride events. For more information about FVYS and the Fraser Valley Pride event, visit www.fraseryouth.com.

and the crew was asked by the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria to check out the signal. He said the matter was then turned over to the Abbotsford Police. Const. Ian MacDonald said police were told downed hydro lines were causing the communications interference. Residents posting on the The News’ Facebook page said the sound of the large helicopter circling the Matsqui Prairie area woke them and shook their homes.

‘Let’s go to the courts, let’s ask a judge’ From A1

said the plaintiffs have filed a lawsuit with the B.C. Supreme Court and a claim with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal, on the grounds that the bylaw violates the Charter of Rights and Freedom by restricting drug users’ access to life, liberty and security of the person, and to equal treatment under the law. Harm reduction refers to public health policies usually associated with needle exchange programs, free condoms, safe injection sites and other services that help drug users, prostitutes and other at-risk individuals. Bernstein called Abbotsford’s bylaw “the most sweeping anti-harm reduction bylaw in the province,” describing it as “mean-spirited. “... this bylaw is standing in the way of Fraser Health Authority providing clean needles and providing other harm reduction services that it would like to in this community...” He said the most important argument against the bylaw is that it is illegal. It is the province’s role, not the municipality’s, to determine health care provision, Bernstein added. In 2010, Fraser Health asked the city to reconsider the local legislation, on the basis that a needle exchange could lower diseases such as hepatitis C.

ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News

Pivot Legal Society lawyer Scott Bernstein spoke at a press conference Tuesday.

In April, council decided to review the controversial bylaw after receiving a report from the social planner, which stated that Abbotsford is faced with high hepatitis C rates, high hospital admissions due to drug overdoses and a lack of access to additional health care services for vulnerable populations of drug users. If the city decided to amend the bylaw, it would have to go to a public hearing. Bernstein said that even though the city is reconsidering the bylaw,

Hearing aids have come a long way ✓ Natural Sounding ✓ Better Clarity in Noise ✓ Easy & Affordable

he is concerned that it would only be replaced with something else that infringes upon drug users’ rights. He is also concerned about allowing public input on what is a health care issue. “Access to harm reduction should not be put up to a public vote ... Let’s go to the courts, let’s ask a judge.” Barry Shantz, who founded the Abbotsford chapter of the B.C./ Yukon Drug War Survivors – an advocacy group representing existing and former drug users – said the lawsuit has been in the works for six years. He thanked the three individual plaintiffs – Douglas Smith, Nadia Issel and Diana Knowles – for their courage in becoming the face of the issue. “We want to stand up for our rights; we want to help other people; we want to stop the spread of disease, and we want to treat people like human beings.” He said they have long petitioned the city to overturn the bylaw with little result. A spokesperson for the City of Abbotsford said that as of yet, the city has not received notice of legal proceedings from Pivot Legal Society. Mayor Bruce Banman was out of town and unavailable for comment.

QUESTION

Election outcome

OF THE WEEK Do you think the city should rescind its ban on harm reduction measures?

Clearly not enough people feel strong enough to vote for the NDP. The people have spoken. We don’t need businesses to collapse on us when they start taxing the hell out of them, leaving us with no jobs. The NDP does one hell of a job rallying people who want things done for them and feel they are owed everything. They would have buried the province like they did 12 years ago. Ryan Schierling

To answer, go to abbynews.com

The dog and pony show that we call an election is over. The citizens’ role in governance is finished for another four years. And we wonder why half the people don’t vote. Mike Donovan

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Are you satisfied with the outcome of the provincial election?

Actually, the people that do not vote had nothing to do with this. The people that did vote have chosen the Liberals, and even though you may think they were wrong and you did not like the Liberals’ campaign, the fact is they were elected – period. Rick MacDonald

YES: 64 % NO: 36 %

The ‘costs’ of the harm reduction ban Andrew

On Point Some people are going to look at the front page story today, and the photo and online video that accompany it, and feel irritated, or angry. You can almost hear it... “Drug users are suing the city? They’re concerned about their rights? They’re druggies, for crying out loud!” The people who will feel that way may also be the same folks who say drug addicts shouldn’t be given clean needles. It only encourages them, you see. And that’s the kind of thinking that has brought this lawsuit and a human rights complaint against the city. In their wisdom (or lack thereof), the majority of civic representatives concluded in 2005 that by banning harm reduction measures, such as needle exchanges and other health-related services for addicts, some moral high ground would be attained, along with discourag-

Sharing drug paraphernalia is a fastMeanwhile, groups such as the Porttrack to a host of health problems such as land Hotel Society – a Vancouver-based infection and disease, the most common

organization – have been quietly providing some harm reductions measures in Abbotsford for years while officials looked the other way. Banning harm reduction measures didn’t keep drug-dependent people out of Abbotsford. That ought to be painfully clear. So what did it achieve? Well, since 2005, a lot of drug users got sick. They filled up a lot of hospital beds. They cost a lot of money. And, if anyone cares, they suffered a lot. Harm reduction doesn’t provide a clear path to recovery. That requires street outreach, and detox centres, and longterm shelter and support afterwards. I think the mayor and members of council actually get that. But harm reduction is one step in the right direction. The city has met and talked and consulted enough. Stop wasting time and energy banning this basic health service, and put the effort into getting long-term infrastructure and programs in place to actually deal with addiction issues. Do that, and the lawsuit goes away. More importantly, so will some of the addicts.

letters More housing for those drug-free

For over 10 years my mother has been driving to McCallum Street in Abbotsford once a month to get her hair coloured and cut, which can take up to three hours. Recently, the only reason she does not stay to eat and shop around afterwards is because she is forced to move her car immediately for fear of getting a parking ticket. I find it odd that you have so many hair salons in a small area and your parking rules ensure that anyone coming to get their hair done will leave immediately afterwards, instead of spending more money in the area.

But there is a lack of stage-two housing for people now drug-free. Without stage-two housing, there is lack of motivation and success for a drug addict to get clean in the first place. I believe that if Abbotsford’s efforts were placed on stagetwo housing we would

In addition to this, people addicted to drugs usually cannot hold down a job or properly take care of a family. I believe the real solution is to focus longterm. Abbotsford has some stage-one housing (for people on drugs) and detox.

“Harm reduction” is the title given to the act of handing out free clean needles, and alcohol swabs, to drug addicts as a means of preventing them from contracting transmittable diseases such as Hepatitis C and HIV. Is this really reducing harm when someone who is addicted to drugs is encouraged to continue in that lifestyle? Participating in this lifestyle often results in feelings of paranoia, anger, violence, anxiety and depression and long-term effects of psychotic symptoms, lung damage, heart damage and, possibly, weakening of the immune system, even heart attack and stroke.

Spring runoff water levels have peaked on the lower Fraser River, and the high streamflow advisory was lifted Monday for the river at Quesnel, Fraser Canyon, Hope and the Lower Mainland. Fraser River levels started easing on the weekend, after the river gauge at Mission reached a high of 5.6 meters on Friday afternoon, but the river and tributaries are expected to continue to run high for the rest of the week. B.C.’s River Forecast Centre warned that the potential for

heavy rain in the B.C. Interior this week could cause a further level and streamflow rise in the Lower Fraser. Upstream of Prince George, the Fraser River system peaked late last week, after cooler and wetter than normal conditions in late April. Snow levels were near normal in most areas of B.C. after this winter. The Upper Fraser had the highest snowpack, more than 120 per cent of normal.

Pedestrian struck, police seek witnesses The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is asking for the public’s help in trying to solve the mystery of a pedestrian who was found lying on the road late Monday afternoon. Const. Ian MacDonald said early indications are that the 39-year-old man, who sustained lower-body injuries, was struck by a vehicle. A passing driver spotted the man lying on the east shoulder of Peardonville Road in the 1800 block at about 5:30 p.m. Police officers and paramedics were dispatched to the scene, and the man was taken to hos-

pital with non-lifethreatening injuries. MacDonald said the pedestrian did not get a good look at what struck him before he was knocked to the ground. Police are asking for information from anyone who might have seen the man walking before the impact or who might have seen a vehicle stopped or slowed in the area during that time. The pedestrian is a South Asian man who was wearing a white shirt and beige pants at the time of the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call the APD at 604-8595225 or text 222973 (abbypd).

Building permits THE OUTLOOK IS Fabulous WITH NEW FLOORING & WARM WEATHER up Building permit values in Abbotsford rose 69 per cent in March 2013 from February, led by a sharp rebound in non-residential permits, according to the Vancouver Regional Construction Association’s analysis of Statistics Canada Building Permit Report. Seasonally adjusted total building permit values in Abbotsford climbed in March 2013 to $10.7 million from $6.4 million in February 2013. “Abbotsford saw a rebound in permit values in March, mostly on the strength of non-residential permit values, with the largest percentage gain in industrial permits and the largest dollar gain in commercial permits over February.” said Jan Robinson, interim president of the VRCA. “Commercial permits rose for the second straight month, but no significant or sustained uptrend is likely until market conditions are much tighter.” Seasonally adjusted non-residential permit values shot up 166 per cent to $7.3 million from $2.7 million in February. Commercial permits climbed to $2.8 million in March.

productive start, racking up five goals and three assists in the team’s first three road games, during which the Valley squad picked up two wins and a loss. Galbraith is second in team scoring behind S e a n Kelly (five goals, five assists). Other returnees lighting it up in the early going include Jordan Hernandez (three goals, four assists) and Shaun McRae (two goals, five

assists). Add it all up, and Nishiyama feels the Rebels should be among four teams battling it out for first place in the WCSLA this season, along with Tri-City, Ladner and Nanaimo. Friday’s home tilt with the Bandits, he said, represents “one of our biggest tests of the year.” “You always want to give the home crowd something to look forward to,” he said. “I hope we get a big crowd – we’ve got lots of kids in minor lacrosse, and they want to see two good teams battle.”

Coming off the best season in franchise history, the Valley Rebels would dearly love to take one more step forward this year. In their home opener Friday, the local senior B men’s lacrosse team will get an up-close-andpersonal look at what they’re aspiring to. The Tri-City Bandits, winners of seven of the last eight West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association titles, swept the Rebels in the best-offive league finals last season. They’re the guests on Friday evening at MSA Arena, as the Abbotsford squad opens its home slate (8 p.m. start). “Tri-City has been the champ for I don’t even know how long, and they just keep coming back strong every season,” Rebels coach Jim Nishiyama marveled. “I think our guys are extremely pumped. They made it there (to the finals) last year, and they came up short. . . . You just have to work that much harder to knock them off. I’m hoping they have the mentality to do that.” This is a new-look edition of the Rebels, beginning with Nishiyama’s presence behind the bench. He coached the team in 2011 before returning to the lineup as a player in 2012, but torn ligaments in his foot ended his campaign. He’s not eager to get back to the grind of playing, so he’s returning to the head coaching role. The Rebels have endured an exodus in goal – their top two ’tenders from last season, Matt Morehouse and Brandon Mulligan, have moved up to the senior A ranks with the Langley Thunder and Nanaimo Timbermen, respectively. That’s left veteran Cam Janzen and Keenan Lambright, a youngster out of junior A, to handle the goalie chores. The Rebels have also lost the services of Curt Callard, last year’s top scorer, to a broken arm, and he’s unlikely to play this season. But the Valley squad has made some additions, most notably

picking up Jarret Dorman from Tri-City in a trade for Bryan Poole. Nishiyama calls Dorman “one of the top three lefties in our league.” “That’s a huge trade,” he said. “You usually don’t see marquee names in our league moved around. “They both kind of needed a change of scenery, and it worked out in the end.” Another Rebels newcomer, Brendan Galbraith, has had a

Taylor streaking on Vancouver Golf Tour

Nick Taylor has been on fire on the Vancouver Golf Tour lately, winning three straight events.

Abbotsford’s Nick Taylor is absolutely lighting it up on the Vancouver Golf Tour. After shooting a course-record 63 en route to victory at the Pitt Meadows Classic May 7-8, Taylor picked up two more wins in

quick succession to run his VGT streak to three. At Royalwood in Chilliwack on the weekend, the 25-year-old opened with a two-under 70 on Friday, and followed that with a sizzling nine-under 63 on Saturday to edge James

Allenby by one stroke. Taylor’s terrific final round featured a scorching 29 on the back nine. “I had a stretch where I hit the ball great and made some key putts,” said Taylor, who earned $2,200 for the victory. “I went six under par for

five holes on the back nine, after really just making some good pars when the wind really picked up on our front nine. When the wind died down that’s when I started to make the most out of the day.” The next event on the VGT schedule was a MondayTuesday tourney at Chilliwack Golf Club, and Taylor once again emerged victorious. He opened with a typically outstanding seven-under 64 to seize the lead, and closed out the win with a 67 to beat former UFV golfer Clark MacPherson and Brad Clapp by one stroke. “Even when my putting hasn’t been going on all cylinders, my ball striking has been really good on those days making it a lot easier to score,” noted Taylor, who has claimed a huge lead in the VGT order of merit. Taylor’s schedule starts to heat up in June – he’s participating in sectional qualifying for the U.S. Open on June 3 at Tumble Creek Golf Club in Cle Elum, Wash., and the PGA Tour Canada (formerly Canadian Tour) schedule opens on June 6 with the Times Colonist Island Savings Open at Victoria’s Uplands Golf Club.

The Surrey Eagles star was the topscoring blueliner at the national junior A hockey championship tourney in Summerside, P.E.I., posting a goal and six assists in five games. The ultimate prize eluded Toews and the Eagles, though. They finished second out of five teams in the round robin with a 3-1 record, but fell 3-2 in overtime to the host Summerside Western Capitals in the semifinals

Steven Marshall of Abbotsford has been named to the Canadian men's volleyball roster for the FISU World University Games this summer. Marshall, a recent graduate of Trinity Western University and an alum of the Spartans volleyball program, was one of 18 players selected for the initial squad. Of those players, 12 will travel to the tournament, which runs July 4-19 in Kazan, Russia. Marshall, a left side, helped the Spartans win the 2012 CIS championship. He was a second team Canada West all-star in 2012-13.

dered just two runs (one earned) over five and two-thirds innings. But he was outdueled by the Reds’ Ryan Mose, who went the distance and struck out seven. Matt Strother was a bright spot offensively for the Cards, going 3-for-3 at the dish to account for half of the home team’s hits, and Brett Walker drove in the lone Abby run in the bottom of the seventh. The Cardinals (117) now sit third in the B.C. Premier Baseball League standings.

One big need.

The Abbotsford Cardinals received a pair of typically solid performances from their starting pitchers in a doubleheader last Sunday vs. the Coquitlam Reds, but the offence let them down. The Reds swept the Cardinals by scores of 2-0 and 2-1 at DeLair Park, as the home side just couldn’t get the bats going. Coquitlam starter Curtis Taylor limited the Cards to three hits over seven innings in the first game of the day, nullifying a nice outing from Emilio Foden, who struck out five over six innings. It was much the same story in the second game, as Abby starter Jesse McGowen surren-

of Abbotsford would love for this to be the year that one of the three finalists finds the bottom of the cup. “We’re hoping this year somebody takes the million,” said event chair Hugh Ellis. “We pay the insurance on it – we’d love to see somebody win.” This year’s contest begins on Saturday, June 1 and runs through June 8 at Fraserglen Golf Course. The quarterfinals, semifinals and finals all run on Sunday, June 9. While local golfers haven’t landed the top prize yet, there have been plenty of positives to emerge from the fundraising event. The contest has generated approximately $350,000 for various charities over its 12year run. This year’s primary beneficiary will be Holmberg House, an adult hospice facility currently under construction which will be operated by the Abbotsford Hospice Society. Some funds will also go to Rotary charities. The Million Dollar Hole in One event is open to golfers of all ages. During the qualifying days, golfers can pay $10 for 12 balls or $20 for 30 balls and take a shot at a pin 95 yards away. New this year, for every $50 purchase of balls, golfers are entered to win a $3,000 ring from Lee’s Fine Jewellery. The top seven closest to the pin each day win a spot in the quarter-final round, plus a prize from a pool worth roughly $25,000 dollars. Five additional quarterfinalists will be randomly drawn each day, and the top 10 finishers from ladies day (Tuesday, June 4) will also participate. Each of the 106 qualifiers will have three shots at a pin approximately 165 yards away. If their ball finds the hole, top prizes include a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, a Ford vehicle, and a $10,000 term deposit. The 10 closest to the pin move on to the semis, where they get one chance to hole out for $100,000. The top three move on to the finals, where they get one shot at $1 million.

The Abbotsford squad, playing in the men’s reserve division, opened the scoring in the 16th minute when Justin Sekhon finished off a nice feed from fellow striker Daniel Molendijk. Molendijk made it 2-0 in the 41st minute, coolly slotting home a penalty kick after being taken down in the penalty area. The Mariners doubled the

Renaerts rounded out the scoring, finishing a give-and-go with Connor Noftle. The Mariners begin a fourgame homestand on Saturday, May 25 at Bateman Park, facing Kelowna United.

A different kind of duplex

Abstract Homes and Renovation’s Sandro Stefanucci has a new spin on a classic duplex.

By Kerry Vital A classic duplex is easily recognizable, with its two single-family homes sharing a common wall in the middle. Vancouver’s Abstract Homes and Renovation is shaking up your perception of a duplex with their unique back-to-front design. Instead of having the homes side-by-side, the second home is attached directly behind the first one and accessed by a path

Some of the features of this eco-friendly home include a basement suite, laneway home, stainless-steel appliances and a luxurious bathroom that is made for relaxation. Martin Knowles

Building a home that’s kind to the environment By Maggie Calloway The news is full of stories about how it is almost impossible for a young couple first starting out to afford to live in Vancouver, and using a conventional yardstick, the information is correct for most but there is a way to not only live in a beautiful house but to also contribute to the solution of affordable housing. No, it’s not winning the lottery but by being very smart in finding a way to build the house you want, where you want it, and how you can afford the whole project financially. One young couple found the property they wanted in the location they wanted to live in, but the 1940s house, on inspection, was not salvageable. There was a lot of rot and water damage and the decision was made to tear the house down and start from scratch. In stepped Samuel and Elizabeth FitzZaland of Green City

Builders Inc., who are not only a very talented team of renovators but are passionate about introducing as many real green, not green-washed, products into their builds. A plan was put together to build the main house with a garden suite on the lower level plus a laneway house, all very carefully designed to fit the lot perfectly. The couple was able to afford the house because of the rental income stream generated from both the suite and the laneway house. At the same time, because of providing rental accommodation, they neatly fit into the municipality’s plan of innovative housing. By building three homes on one lot they took the pressure off development elsewhere. “The clients, once the decision was taken to tear down the existing house, decided to redevelop the property. They wanted a beautiful, gracious home for themselves and an important point was the rental potential to supplement their income and support the mortgage,” says Elizabeth FitzZaland. “This was

also an opportunity to integrate some green building practices throughout the build. This was interesting for us for there were some environmentally friendly elements that were not construction-related as much as planning-related. The property is really tight, only 33 feet wide by 108 feet deep and because a laneway house size depends on the depth and width of the lot, they were right up against both of those measurements but we were able to design to those limitations.” The outcome of this build is a very small, 450-square-foot laneway house over two levels, the one-bedroom secondary suite in the lower part of the house, built above-grade as much as possible, which makes it quite bright, and the homeowners’ part of the house, which is on two levels, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. To further make this financially affordable in the short term the homeowners are considering inviting a home-share student to share their home until they start a family themselves, and

then plan to make this home a family home. Because the residence is close to Langara College, this is a viable option for them. “Out in the market people still want quartz countertops, new cabinets and floors and a gracious master bath with separate showers, which are really luxury items but they found a way to do all this with a very humble starting budget, but with the income streams it all become very affordable,” FitzZaland says. Included in this home are as many “green” builds as their budget allowed. A framing technique was used which uses larger lumber spaced further apart so more insulation is possible plus it reduces thermal bridging so you get a tight interior space. To get fresh air into the house they installed a heat recovery ventilator which recovers 90 per cent of the heat that would normally be lost by pumping air out as the fresh air comes in. Once the house was wrapped, and before the drywall was installed, they had an energy audit done so they could identify any leaks and sealed them at that stage. In addition they installed a combination instant hot water system which also heats their home through a radiant heating system. From beginning to end this whole project was extremely well-thought-out from utilizing the site for maximum return and investing in an eco-friendly build which will pay dividends going forward.

Abbotsford News Thursday, May 23, 2013

A home for aging in place down the side of the property. Located on Commercial Drive, space was at a premium on the lot, giving rise to this creative floorplan that gives each home 2,000 square feet of living space. “It doesn’t look like a duplex,” says Sandro Stefanucci, president and founder of Abstract Homes. “The aesthetics make a big difference.” Stefanucci and his wife Cheri live in one half of the duplex, and rent out the other half. The origi-

nal purpose of that second half is to give his parents a home that they can live in for the long term. Thus, Stefanucci has included an elevator shaft in order to allow them to access all four levels of the home. That space is currently being used as closet storage. Other accessible features include doors that are three feet wide, in order to allow wheelchairs to fit through them. Grab bars and a roll-in shower in the ensuite bathroom are able to be installed

easily. Stefanucci himself was born on the street, and the lot where the duplex now stands belonged to his family. His grandfather purchased the property in 1956, and Stefanucci was happy to be able to keep it in the family after his parents were forced to leave the neighbourhood as they aged. “The best use of the land was to build a new house,” he says, noting that the original house was not a heritage property.

However, he ran into a few problems when demolishing and re-building. Among them was a long permit process and the challenges involved with removing a house that was so close to its neighbours. In the end the new duplex was worth all the trouble, and Stefanucci and his family are happy with the results. The duplex was the winner of the Georgie Award for Best Duplex in 2012, something that Stefanucci is very proud of.

“It fits in with the other homes” on the street, he notes. “You can do your living on the first and second floor,” Stefanucci says, adding that the second floor is a master bedroom with ensuite. The laundry facilities are also on this floor. Stefanucci’s parents have not yet moved in, but he says the home will be there for them when they’re ready. In the mean time, he and Cheri are enjoying their home.

Michelle Elrick wraps up her transatlantic poetry tour with a presentation at The Reach in Abbotsford on June 6.

Poet returns home

Presents new work Notes From the Fort Former Abbotsford resident Michelle Elrick returns home this June with her new poetry project, marking the end of a tour that has taken her to Iceland, Scotland and Austria. Her new project, Notes From the Fort, is a poetic of inhabited space. It couples the play action of fort-building with poetic documentation and she will present it at The Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford (32388 Veterans Way) on June 6 at 7 p.m. Elrick, 29, left Abbotsford for

Winnipeg in 2007 where she completed a poetry collection titled To Speak. The following year she received the John Hirsch Award for Most Promising Manitoba Writer. Simply put, Elrick has been busy building forts in and out of doors in order to write a new type of poem that is both experience and experiment. Public admission to the poetry reading and fort exhibition is free. For more, visit thereach.ca.

Q. We’ve become very concerned with the safety of our in ground pool, especially now that we’ve got grandkids toddling around. We’ve seen AUTOMATIC COVERS that roll on and off the pool on some kind of track system. Can these be added to an existing pool? A. Yes… in fact, I’ve been installing Aquamatic’s HYDRAMATIC POOL COVERS for over 8 years now. We often install these as part of the original installation of our one piece SAN JUAN FIBERGLASS POOLS, but they can be added to existing pools

with a bit of careful design. Usually, the cover rolls off the pool into an inground vault at one end of the pool. If that’s not practical, the roller, mechanism, and cover can be concealed under custom built bench at the end of the pool. We can even design and install covers on shaped pools. These covers save money on chemicals, energy, and water loss from evaporation, while dramatically increasing pool safety.

Q. That’s nice, but is it expensive? A. AQUAMATIC also makes a cover called the EZ COVER that has all the safety and cost savings of an automatic pool cover at a cost effective price. EZ COVER looks and moves like an automatic cover, but without the hydraulic mechanism. The effortless operation takes abut 70 seconds to open or close the cover. It’s so easy, you’ll use it daily to keep your pool safely covered anytime it’s not in use. For a site evaluation and free estimate on a SAN JUAN

FIBERGLASS POOL, HYDRAMATIC SAFETY POOL COVER or EZ COVER, call MASTERPIECE POOL & SPA TODAY.

Ask about the SEDONA ONE PIECE FIBERGLASS ABOVE GROUND POOL from SAN JUAN POOLS. This versatile little pool can fit into virtually ANY back yard and can be installed above ground, or partially inground. When outfitted with our SWIMJET SYSTEM, it provides year-round exercise and enjoyment. Go toSANJUANPOOLS.COM for more information or call us here at 604-820-2025

Feeding wildlife may seem like an enjoyable way to connect with nature, but it can often lead to serious problems for species like squirrels, raccoons, deer and bears. Wild animals who get used to a handout will often take the easy route despite ample natural foods being available – even in urban areas. Although it might seem harmless and cute to feed a squirrel on a park bench or ducks at the local pond, these activities can lead to increased habituation. Fed wildlife can become dependent on unreliable food sources and suffer nutritionally when given inappropriate foods. Habituated wild animals are also more susceptible to predators and vehicle collisions, as they lose their fear of people and the associated flight response. In other cases, wild animals who have been fed regularly can develop food-seeking aggression and can become hostile towards people and pets. Human carelessness can also lead to urban wildlife becoming habituated. Putting garbage out the evening before pick-up, using non-wildlife-proof bins, keeping pet food outside, leaving fallen fruit on the ground and littering can lead to situations where wild animals – and their offspring – are killed unnecessarily. One area where the experts disagree is on the feeding of migratory birds. Whether you agree with feeding birds, it is the most widespread and popular form of human-wildlife interaction worldwide. Although the BC SPCA prefers you to attract birds naturally with native plants, if you are going to feed migratory birds: q ensure feeders are not accessible to other species, use baffles and “proof” feeders; q keep cats indoors and ask your neighbours to do so as well; q clean feeders regularly with a 10 per cent bleach dilution to prevent disease outbreaks; q feed only seasonally when natural re-

Helen Friesen was born Helena Martens on April 28, 1915 near Warman, SK. As 1 of 11 children, Helen worked very hard through her childhood to help support her family. She had a great love for learning, and though she did not have the opportunity to complete her education, she did what she could by correspondence and eventually achieved her dream of becoming a nurse. Her career lasted only 3 ½ years, but it brought her great joy. Helen married Abe Friesen on Oct 5, 1946, and they moved to British Columbia shortly thereafter. They had 4 children together, raised 1 granddaughter, and served faithfully in their church and community. After Abe died, Helen continued to work tirelessly to help those in need. She was an avid canner, baker, seamstress, and gardener, and enjoyed creating beautiful afghans and patchwork quilts for her family. Most of all, she was a strong Christian woman, faithful and devoted to her Creator. She was predeceased by her husband Abe, her daughter Darlene and son-in-law Tom, and 9 sisters and brothers. She will be dearly missed by all she leaves behind: her 104-year-old sister Jesse, daughter Vivian (Gerald) Froese, son Jim (Chris) Friesen, son Paul (AnnaMarie) Friesen and granddaughter Sharon (Colin) Reimer. She also leaves behind 11 additional grandchildren and 14½ great grandchildren. Her funeral will be held at Clearbrook MB Church on Monday, May 27th at 10:45 am.

Her paintings have been exhibited in many art shows and galleries in the US and Canada and hang in homes in several countries.

Frederick Albert

HAYES

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved brother and uncle, Frederick Albert Fleming of Deroche, BC who passed away suddenly May 13, 2013. Fred was born April 24th, 1934 in Naicam, SK. He was predeceased by his father H.G. Fleming (a veteran of 2 World Wars), his mother Agnes E.F. (Coulter) Fleming, his brother John and sisters Phyllis and Dorothy. He is survived by his sisters, Marguerite (Ron) Stobbart, Thelma (Ralph) McDonald, Shirley Fleming & Doris Halverson. Fred moved to BC with his family in 1943 where they lived a few years in Surrey, and then moved to Deroche. Fred was a miner by trade, who loved hunting, fishing and camping. He once owned and operated a fish and tackle trailer shop, where many tall tales were shared and enjoyed by customers. And of course, if a â&#x20AC;&#x153;flea marketâ&#x20AC;? was within a hundred miles, Fred would be there. Although Fred was always up to a good argument, he was a very kind, loving man who would literally â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give you the shirt off his backâ&#x20AC;?. He was also very religious and a statement that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godâ&#x20AC;? might not like his actions, always had an effect. He will be sadly missed by his loving niece Diane Davies (Stobbart), his beloved cat Patches, and many family members and friends.

THE GAME

Win 1,000 to $

Sevenoaks Shopping Centre! 20 local University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) students are competing for fortune, fame and bragging rights with the return of the biggest reality contest from The Abbotsford News (formerly the Intern.) One student will win the grand prize of $5,000 cash, the title of Freshman of the Year and a summer internship with the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC) marketing department.

THE CHALLENGE: Twenty UFV students will be divided into 10 teams. Each team is associated with a corporate partner in the community. Their challenge was to create a marketing plan, video and a full-page advertisement (to be published in The Abbotsford News Daily) for their sponsor business. All of the team projects can be viewed online at abbynews.com/contests. Teams have also been paired with a local charity and will do their best to raise exposure - making a positive change in our community.

via various social media sites that the teams choose to utilize! Votes can be entered ten times a day, per IP address, at abbynews.com/contests. However, every contestant has immunity for the first four weeks. The News will track the weekly votes and announce them via Twitter every Thursday at 8 a.m. at twitter.com/abbynews. In the Thursday, June 13th edition of The Abbotsford News there will be a mass elimination of seven teams. Voting for the remaining three teams will continue until Friday, June 21 at 5 pm.

ENTREPRENEUR

Start me up! Mala Collective

We sat down with local entrepreneurs, Ashley Wray and Matt Bateman

Where did you get the idea for starting your business?

What are all your duties as a business owner? Do you do everything or do you delegate?

When we were travelling. We were backpacking and fell in love with this jewelry in Bali. When we were on the plane from Bali to Thailand, the woman who made the jewelry sat down beside us. We loved the jewelry and her story. (She began making the rudraksha bead jewelry after her spiritual guide told her more peace would come to the world if more people were wearing the beads - which was especially needed in the West.) Being from the West, and in an area that is so accepting and supportive of a conscious lifestyle, we were inspired to start the business when we returned home.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever heard was from a Richard Branson book - owner of Virgin. He said to put yourself out of business - take yourself out of the day-to-day processes, hire someone who can do the job in a great way, and allow yourself time to work on the business rather than in the business. While that’s not always an option from the beginning, it’s definitely something to work towards. Looking at the bigger picture should always be something you’re doing, whether or not you’re working on the smaller tasks yourself.

How many hours do you put into your business in a week?

Continual growth. We’re already expanding into the US and UK this year (after just a year in business). We want to continue that growth and see more people wearing our mala beads.

Ha! I don’t know if that’s even scalable. You never turn your business brain off when it’s your own company. Of course, we try to have ‘non-work time,’ but when it’s something you’re passionate about, you are always thinking of ways to grow and improve, and of your next challenge and adventure.

What makes your business unique? We’re fair trade, with our jewelry made in beautiful Bali, Indonesia. The business overall is about reminding people to live a more conscious lifestyle and connecting with their intentions, manifesting their dreams, and feeling good.

What misconceptions did you have about owning a business, prior to?

dollar

The amount of time it takes to create cash-flow. You’ll get there if you have patience, the right drive and support.

What do you want for your business in 5, 10, 20 years?

What keeps you going? What drives you, gets you excited? The possibilities of what’s next. We would have never dreamed the Oscars gift lounge would be something we’d attend, or that we’d be working with Lululemon. We can’t wait to see what the future holds.

What is the most challenging and rewarding part of owning your business? CHALLENGING - being inside your own head and letting that self doubt creep in. THE MOST REWARDING - seeing people wearing our jewelry, and receiving emails from people sharing how much the jewelry has helped them through challenging times in their lives. The jewelry is a medium for many to live their intentions and manifest their dreams. We love that.

Naked Underwear is founded by Abbotsford local, Joel Primus. Joel, the CEO, has brought the product to the CBC show, Dragons’ Den twice and both times the Dragon’s didn’t take his offer. Joel and his partners have made this underwear company very successful and still stays Abbotsford-run. The product is made with unique fabric from Europe, made to be very soft, like the underwear that the founder found on his travels to South America. Upon coming home, he realized there was nothing like the South American underwear here so he decided to make his own.
