Highest unemployment
Chamber endorses economic plan as Abby/Mission rate tops B.C. metro areas Alina KONEVSKI Abbotsford News
The unemployment rate is highest in Abbotsford-Mission among all four B.C. metropolitan areas, according to December 2013 Statistics Canada data. An average of 7.8 per cent of the labour force in the Abbotsford-Mission Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) was unemployed during 2013. That’s a significant decline from the 8.9 per cent high in 2011, but only marginally lower than 2012’s
7.9 average. Meanwhile, the rates in Vancouver, Victoria, and Kelowna have fallen to below 7.0 per cent. The Abbotsford-Mission average unemployment rate for 2013 was also higher than all of the development regions, including Vancouver Island, Thompson/Okanagan, and the North Coast/Nechako. Allan Asaph, executive director of the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, says that Abbotsford has a high number of seasonal employees, especially in agriculture, which
may cause higher annual average unemployment. Last year, unemployment was highest in Abbotsford-Mission from April to July. Asaph said the area is also attractive to people between jobs because of low living costs. And, Abbotsford-Mission has certain barriers to employment, such as insufficient public transport. “We were happy to see that council finally did approve the plan for moving forward with the regional district for bus service. I think that’s an important factor because we’re not well served Continued on A4

Smiling at 103 Katie Falk, a long-time Abbotsford resident, celebrated her 103rd birthday on Jan. 10 at her home on the Menno Place campus. She was surrounded by her two surviving children and their families – along with her surviving girlfriends. Jostling for position, the elderly women joked and cajoled with each other. One introduced herself, laughingly, as “the best friend.” She took a seat close to Katie, saying that she was there when Katie had her first baby. Her eyes lit up as each friend, niece, grandchild and great-grandchild took their turn hugging and congratulating her on this special occasion. Katie was born in 1910 in the Ukraine, where her father was a pastor. She married in 1935 and fled the country during the Second World War shortly after her 18-month-old son died of starvation and dehydration. Before immigrating to Canada in 1948, she took refuge in Germany with her husband and two daughters. When they arrived in

Erosion repair on tight deadline City proceeds despite provincial funding shortfall Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
Efforts to fix riverbank erosion that could threaten the Matsqui dike will begin next week – without full provincial funding. A new erosion arc was discovered over the summer within 30 metres of the dike near Beharrell Road, and the city is worried the spring freshet could compromise the dike and lead to flooding. The province gave the city permission to use $1.1 million previously granted funds for a different erosion arc to assist in the current repairs, but another $1.5 million will come from the city’s general

Abbotsford, they farmed at the corner of Huntington and Clearbrook roads. They were founding members of the King Road Mennonite Church. Katie’s heart for others has been evidenced through the thousands of blankets that she has knit and crocheted for the Mennonite Central Committee, which passes them along to those in need. She walks independently with a walker, and continues to knit washcloths for charity. Katie has several family members who have lived to be centenarians, including a cousin who lived to 105.
capital reserve. No plan was made in the budget to fund the project, so an amendment must be prepared. As the Fraser River falls under provincial jurisdiction, Mayor Bruce Banman said the city continues to work with the province to make up the $1.5 million shortfall. Regardless of the funding source, the city said the work must be completed before the spring. Jim Gordon, general manager of engineering and regional utilities, said the contractor will begin in about a week and must finish by the end of February to meet Fisheries and Oceans regulations.
Banman said staff have worked with the province, including enlisting the help of former city councillor and new MLA for Mission-Abbotsford Simon Gibson, to stress the importance of the issue to the province. City staff say the issue of erosion will be ongoing without efforts to fix the course of the river, which is deepening on the Abbotsford side and will cause continuous erosion. The city is asking the province for an additional $2.2 million grant for bank protection, as well as calling for Victoria to take the lead on erosion problems to protect the Matsqui dike.
‘Economy slowly recovering’ From A1
out here in terms of transportation,” said Asaph. “The economy is slowly recovering, but we’re still a significant period away before we start to get back to the levels that we were prior to 2008.” Unemployment in Abbotsford-Mission in 2006 to 2008 was between 4.3 and 4.8 per cent. It jumped to 7.9 in 2009. In the early 2000s, the rate for the area was about on par with the provincial average, and it was only from 2010 onward that Abbotsford had a comparatively high portion of the labour force out of work. The chamber has officially endorsed the City of Abbotsford’s Economic Development Action Plan (on the city’s website at abbotsford.ca). Chamber president Mike Welte called that latest plan,
presented to city council on Dec. 9, 2013, “much fuller and more robust action plan than originally conceived.” The chamber originally brought the idea for the plan to city hall over three years ago. Key initiatives in the new plan that Asaph believes would bring more jobs to the area include supporting the growing agriculture industry through innovative land use policies; ensuring that higher education programs are geared toward developing a creative and entrepreneurial workforce that can in turn create jobs; and nurturing an atmosphere that attracts businesses to Abbotsford-Mission. “Abbotsford has one of the highest levels of residents working in the community. What that tells us, is we need to create more jobs in Abbotsford,” he said.

KEEPING KIDS HEALTHY IS HARD
City Waste Collection During Extreme Weather
This FREE 10-week, healthy living program runs Tuesdays (6:00-8:00 pm) and Saturdays (9:30-11:30 am) starting January 28, 2014. Call 604-859-3134 local 5297 or email mend@abbotsford.ca for more information.
The City will make every attempt to collect curbside recycling, compostables and garbage during snow and ice conditions; however, safety is always the highest priority. If weather conditions pose too high of a risk, we will not be collecting and ask that you set out your materials on your next collection day. The usual container limits will be doubled for areas that have missed a collection day. On some occasions the City, or its contractor, may provide additional collection as soon as possible after the missed collection day. For more information, please see www.abbotsford.ca/ engineering, or call 604-853-5485 regarding City pickup or 604-864-5640 regarding contractor pickup.
Frozen Material in Curbside Containers Winter temperatures can freeze garbage and compost inside your curbside container and make it difÂżcult to collect. To avoid injury and damaging containers, collection workers will only provide limited shaking and hitting of containers against the truck to dislodge frozen materials. To prevent compostable materials from freezing to the sides of your container, line it with crumpled newspaper, paper, dry grass, branches or cedar needles. Please also ensure your garbage and compost containers have a secure lid when placing them outdoors to prevent rain from entering and freezing. If you have any questions, please contact the City of Abbotsford Engineering Department at eng-info@abbotsford.ca or 604-864-5514.
Snow & Ice Control The goal of the City’s Snow and Ice Control Program is to maintain travel routes where there is snow and ice on roads and restore mobility for the traveling public. Our roads are classi¿ed: • ¿rst priority (high volume and strategic arterial and collector roads, and major access roads to hillside areas); • second priority (remaining arterial, hillside areas and collector routes); and • third priority (remaining roadways not identi¿ed as ¿rst and second priority). First priority roads are maintained until conditions are under control subject to worker/equipment availability and weather. Only then are resources redirected to second priority routes and subsequently third priority routes. The City of Abbotsford, which takes a pro-active approach to snow and ice control, operates three anti-icing units (tanks containing sodium chloride solution) on four-lane roads and rural priority roads. The units are used to spray road surfaces before and during a storm. Anti-icing helps keep roads ice free and improves snow removal. Several pre-wetting units, which inject liquid sodium chloride into the salt/sand mixture before it is applied to roads, are also used by the City. These units increase the melting of snow and ice, and reduce the loss of salt/sand caused by traf¿c. The City does not remove snow and ice to bare pavement conditions. The public is encouraged to use caution, and wherever possible, park vehicles off the streets. Abandoned vehicles or vehicles obstructing roadways will be towed without notice to allow for snow clearing operations to continue and towing costs will be the responsibility of the vehicle owners. We ask that you do not plow snow from private properties onto the public roadways as this can result in visibility hazards and obstructions and will require additional time for clearing roadways. The City will work 24 hour days until the snow ends and ¿rst priority routes are passable for travel. For more information, please contact the Engineering Operations Division at 604-853-5485.
BUT WE’LL SHOW YOU HOW SMALL CHANGES CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.
Road Closure Notice Townshipline Road A road closure will be in effect on Townshipline Road, between Highway 11 and Riverside Street (north leg), from January 20, 2014 to February 2, 2014. The road closure is to facilitate the installation of a watermain under the railway tracks. No through trafÂżc will be permitted. Motorists are advised to plan an alternate route. Detour routes will be posted. Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact Melvin MayÂżeld, Project Engineer, at 604-864-5514 or mmayÂżeld@abbotsford.ca. Please go to www.abbotsford.ca/engineering for more information.
Watermain Flushing The City of Abbotsford Water Operations Crews will be Àushing all watermains in the Sumas Prairie area starting Monday, January 13th, 2014. Please check the city’s website at www.abbotsford.ca for a detailed map. Watermain Àushing is routine maintenance procedure that removes sediment and improves the water pressure and water quality. Watermain Àushing will begin in January and is expected to continue until March. Affected customers will receive a mailed noti¿cation at least 1-week before crews arrive to Àush the mains in the neighbourhood. Customers should not use water while Àushing is in progress.

Driving draws ticket, not the car, say police
BC’S EYEWEAR HEADQUARTERS!
APD releases stats on 31 types of cars versus traffic citations Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Statistics released this week by the Abbotsford Police Department are debunking the myth that police target specific types of cars when issuing traffic tickets. The figures break down 31 makes of cars and compare the percentage of each of them on the road to the percentage of their drivers receiving tickets. The stats cover the period from mid-2010 to the end of 2013, when there were 78,760 vehicles on the road and a total of 50,731 tickets issued. Const. Ian MacDonald said in 17 of the categories, the numbers are equal. For example, 8.7 per cent of the cars on the road in Abbotsford are Dodges, and 8.7 per cent of traffic tickets in the city were issued to Dodge drivers. Similarly, 4.6 per cent of vehicles are GM’s, and 4.6 per cent of tickets were given to the drivers of those cars. In eight categories,
the number of tickets handed out was slightly greater than the percentage of those vehicles on the road. Pontiacs, for example, account for 3.2 per cent of the vehicles but their drivers collected 4.7 per cent of the tickets. The
figures for Chevys were 10.4 and 11.2 respectively. Six makes of vehicles – Buick, Ford, Kia, Mercedes, Nissan and Toyota – had reverse numbers. The biggest margin was with Toyotas, which
make up 12.1 per cent of the vehicles on the road, but whose drivers collected 9.5 per cent of tickets. MacDonald said it’s difficult to pinpoint why there is a more dramatic variation with Toyota drivers than with other
A7
cars. “Our best guess … is that we think certain types of people are attracted to certain types of cars. It may be … that people who are conservative are drawn to Toyotas,” he said. The figures indicate that it’s driving behaviour, and not the type of car, that results in a ticket being handed out, MacDonald said. He said police released the stats as a means of furthering discussion about road safety, which the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) has again made its top priority for the year. The issue was also the top priority in 2013 after a year that saw nine traffic-related fatalities. That number dropped to six last year. MacDonald said the APD would like to drop that figure even further – “ultimately, we would like to see none” – as well as see an “appreciable difference” in the number of injury-related crashes.

Ministry approval sought on pot grow ban Abbotsford council wants to keep medical grow-ops out Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
As the nation moves to a system of commercial grow-ops for medical marijuana production, Abbotsford council has approved plans to keep the large-scale operations out of the city. On Monday, council passed third readings for two bylaws prohibiting grow-ops – one banning residential and industrial areas, and the other disallowing pot cultivation from agricultural land. The latter will require approval from the ministry of agriculture, and both bylaws require final approval from council. New federal regulations will end personal production licenses for home grow-ops by April, switching to facilities that will grow and distribute all medical
marijuana. Coun. Henry Braun said that as the federal government and the Agricultural Land Commission have stated that medical marijuana production is a permitted farm use, he is concerned that a ban of grow-ops on farm land will not proceed. Coun. John Smith was in favour of the restrictions, adding that it wouldn’t stop the city from allowing a medical marijuana grow-op through a zoning variance, but that would have to go through the necessary avenues like a public hearing. But the decision may also face opposition from farming organizations. The BC Agriculture Council (BCAC), which represents more than 14,000 B.C. farmers and ranchers across the province, wrote a letter to the minister of ag-
riculture, Pat Pimm, explaining their opposition to communities imposing bans on the growing of medical marijuana on agricultural land. The letter, signed by vice-chair of the council, Stan Vanderwaal, states that the legal growing of medical marijuana should be an option available to farmers. BCAC believes that growing medical marijuana is consistent with other farming activities and an “outright ban to grow a legal crop on agriculture land is inconsistent with the ministry of agriculture’s own objective.” But Banman said Abbotsford is not the only community seeking a ban for growops on farmland. Langley and Delta are seeking similar measures and approval from the minister.

Hardeep Sidhu has never really been inside a church, so she readily took the opportunity for a tour of Northview Community Church on Monday night as part of World Interfaith Harmony Week. Multiple events throughout January and February in Abbotsford offer the opportunity for people to better understand another religion and build relationships across faiths. The Bridges of Faith committee, coordinated by Abbotsford Community Services, is organizing the events. The tour at Northview consisted of a 40-minute presentation about the fundamentals of Christianity and the church’s role in Abbotsford’s broader Christian scene, a question-and-answer session, and a tour of the building. Northview, a Mennonite Brethren church, is one of the largest places of worship in Abbotsford with
4,000 members and 50 staff. Like many others, Sidhu had driven by Northview on Downes Road many times. She was grateful for the opportunity to satisfy her curiosity about the local institution. “This is a great chance to speak to someone to learn about the faith … It feels like an open space to be able to ask curious questions,” she said. She has found openness to be lacking sometimes in discussions about faith, and said the tour was an important trust-building exercise. ACS director of multicultural and immigrant integration services, Manpreet Grewal, joined the tour for similar reasons. “As a non-Christian, I’m interested in theology in general. I found the presentation very interesting.” The presentation on Christian philosophy, given by Northview pastor Andy Steiger

No criminal charges in hazing incident
Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is not pursuing criminal charges in the hazing incident involving the W.J. Mouat Secondary senior boys basketball team. EPS spokesperson Scott Pattison told The News that the investigation is now closed. “It appears the complainants have withdrawn their concerns,” he said, declining further comment on the matter since charges were not laid. “It was a very preliminary investigation on our end.” The incident occurred while the Mouat Hawks were in Edmonton for a tournament at St. Francis Xavier high school, Dec. 5-7. Seven athletes were subsequently suspended for what head coach Rich Ralston termed “very poor decision-making,” and the EPS opened a preliminary investigation with involvement from the sex crime unit. Last week, the seven players had their school suspensions lifted following a review process, and Abbotsford school district communications manager Dave Stephen told The News that “some of the reports that were out on social media were quite exaggerated.” “What we discovered was that each of the students recognized and they acknowledged that the behaviour was inappropriate,” he said. “Everyone wanted to move forward, including the victims and the parents. We believe we came to the right conclusion.”

Florida Georgia Line will be performing at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC) on April 9, and will share the stage with special guests Dallas Smith, who hails from Langley, and Chris Lane. Florida Georgia Line tickets went on sale in December, and nearly 6,000 tickets were sold in just under an hour, making it the fastest-selling show in the facility’s history.

“We are grateful for the continuing enthusiasm and support of fans throughout the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland for our events,” said Jason Blumenfeld, AESC general manager. “There isn’t a hotter act in country music right now than Florida Georgia Line and we are excited to be bringing them to the Fraser Valley.
This year, they have made history, breaking the record for the longest number one on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs Chart with their single Cruise, which has sold more than 6.1 million downloads in the U.S. alone, and is the second best-selling country single ever according to SoundScan. Florida Georgia Line is the only artist in history to join Brooks and Dunn in having their first three singles hit number one for multiple weeks each.
In Canada, Florida Georgia Line has been newly

Aussie red is bound to please Like many people, I can fall victim to stereotypes in the wine world.
PRODUCER: Wyndham Estate
That’s why I hesitate to try new Australian wines. You see, I have in my mind big fat fruit bombs, stuffed with as much alcohol as possible, and enough oak to build a small dwelling.
PRICE/ABV: $18.99/14.5% ABV
Now, I know that’s not really the case. I know Australia serves up some very (very) fine wine, but I’m stuck with that picture in my mind, from one bad experience many years ago, so I hesitate to just reach out and grab a bottle of something I don’t know and like already. The folks at Wyndham Estate knocked that stereotype right on its behind when they sent me a sample of the 2010 Founder’s Reserve Shiraz. This is a bottle of Shiraz I will definitely buy and share. Its big (in my books) alcohol count is balanced by lovely, fine bones: Fruit, good acid and friendly tannins. RED WINE: George Wyndham Founder’s Reserve 2010 COUNTRY/REGION: South Australia (Langhorne Creek)

This has occurred as a result of serious and progressive personal health issues which have progressed at an unexpectedly rapid rate. Circumstances have not permitted me to arrange alternative care for patients and, as a consequence, they are requested to find new caregivers. I am hopeful that my colleagues will be understanding of the situation and sympathetic to your requests. The office will continue to provide every assistance that it can with the transfer of information; but, regrettably, this may incur a nominal fee to you, as any expenses incurred cannot be recovered from MSP or other agencies. It has been an enormous privilege to be involved in the health care of so many individuals and each and every patient has enriched my own life in so many different ways. It is my hope that health and happiness will follow you in the future.

Curb Appeal Give your home a makeover Homeowners who want their homes to make strong first impressions must prioritize curb appeal. Homes with strong curb appeal sell well and can impart a welcoming feel to all visitors. Improving curb appeal need not be expensive, and the following are a handful of ways to improve the appearance of your home.
Edge the driveway to create a distinct border between the driveway and the lawn or other landscaping features. This helps homes appear neat and well kept.
Add shutters and accent trim to a home’s exterior to improve on the beauty of the house.
Install new fencing or give a fresh coat of paint or stain to an existing fence.
Replace concrete paths with tile or stone walkways to make entryways more impressive and inviting.
Install a bold-looking door in a vibrant colour or one with a custom design. This helps the home stand out from other properties in the neighbourhood.
Use outdoor lighting to make a home more inviting. Outdoor lighting also makes properties safer to traverse at night.

Total makEover challenge Ladies, grab your workout gear and can-do attitude! It’s time for Shape Your World’s 2014 Total Makeover Challenge to begin. Now in its sixth year, the Total Makeover is being sponsored by Go Fusion Fitness and presented by The Abbotsford News. It is an opportunity for women to undergo a life changing transformation in fitness, weight loss, self-confidence and beauty. A meet and greet was held on the evening of Wednesday, January 8th at the Phoenix Lounge and the enthusiasm was contagious. The event was hosted by the president of Shape Your World Society, Jenny Clough, and the society’s vice president, Trish Warren. In an open mike session, ladies shared their reasons for taking the challenge: building self-esteem, increasing energy levels and carving me-time were among the most cited goals. As of that evening, 47 contestants had signed up to compete in the 12 week qualifying period which includes a 12 week gym membership, 6 infrared sauna detox treatments, body composition test and consultation and weekly weigh ins and measures at Go Fusion Fitness.
Four of the contestants were returning challengers ready to give it another go. It’s not too late to sign up; just go to 2014 Total Makeover Challenge on Facebook or drop into Go Fusion and talk to last year’s winner, Lynn, who lost 39 pounds and 39 inches and gained a new career in personal fitness training. There are three rounds to the challenge. The first is the 12 week qualifying period which includes an Amazing Race, in support of the Abbotsford Food Bank and the Shape Your World Society, on February 15th. During week 8, at the March 8th 4.4 km charity walk/run to benefit Fraser Health’s pediatric unit, the top ten participants will be chosen based on the most combined % of inch and weight loss as well as bonus points awarded for participation. The ladies who do not make this top ten still, however, have a chance to prove themselves in week 9 through 12 as the top winner for this time period will win a spot into the top five. This spot is called the wild card! The second round is five weeks long and culminates in a fashion show on April 16th at the Phoenix Lounge. Here the top
UNDERGO A LIFE CHANGING TRANSFORMATION IN FITNESS, WEIGHT LOSS, SELF-CONFIDENCE + BEAUTY ten strut their stuff and showcase local fashion boutiques. The highlight of the evening is the announcement of the top five and wild card. A silent auction is also held benefitting charity. Round three is four weeks long and sees the contestants reaching deep within their power centres to complete their journey. A winner is chosen on May 14th based on public voting, sponsor voting, most % of combined
inch and weight loss, participation in gym workouts, classes and events and other surprise challenges. Prizes include a trip for two to Las Vegas from Shape Your World Society, a one year gym membership from Go Fusion Fitness, professional photo shoot from Level 6 Images Studio and Zoom Whitening from Clayburn Dental.

ChillFactor Although West Coast winters are typically mild compared to other parts of the country, they still require some form of coverage from the cold. A light knit sweater is the perfect solution. Today’s fabrics provide comfort from the cold in lighter weight materials than ever before, meaning you can be toasty without adding bulk. There is no shortage of patterns and textures from which to choose. For example, think argyle for a traditional look – perfect for the office over a crisp button-up white shirt – or choose a bright colour and a chunky necklace for a fun weekend look paired with cuffed jeans. Even a winter coat can be sleek and stylish. A black belted version stands out with a brocade-style pattern. These pieces also serve double duty, easily transitioning into early spring.

Slow-braised beef short ribs WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER PURÉE
by Che f Jeff M assey, restaur ant 62
These long, cold evenings and nights make me hungry for some slow cooked, sumptuous comfort food.
BRAISED BEEF:
CAULIFLOWER ULIFLOWER PURE:
• 2-3 lbs of bone-in beef short ribs
• 1 head cauliflower, chopped
And while the weather is looking bleak, staying inside and cooking for the afternoon and evening with a nice bottle of wine sure is an excellent way to spend some time. I have always loved the deep, rich flavours of braised beef short ribs, lamb shanks or even a roasted portobello mushroom and rosemary risotto. Filling the house with wonderful smells, lots of laughs and good times... makes the January blues disappear in a flash, or at least in a fews hours with dinner in the oven.
• 5-6 tbsp flour to dredge • 3-4 tbsp vegetable oil to sear
• 2 cups whipping cream
• 4 shallots sliced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 4 clove garlic sliced
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 2-3 sprigs each of fresh rosemary, sage and thyme • 4 cups red wine
• 2 tbsp prepared horseradish (or 1 tbsp grated fresh horseradish)
• 6 cups chicken or beef stock
• Salt to taste
METHOD: • Season the beef short ribs liberally, dredge in the flour and sear over medium high heat until full rich colour is achieved • Combine all ingredients over seared meat in large ovenproof dish, cover with foil and vent • Slow roast at 300º for about 3 to 3 ½ hours • When done and very tender, remove meat; reduce remaining liquid to sauce consistency over medium high heat • Combine cauliflower, stock and cream in a pot and slowly bring to a boil • Season with salt and cook until very soft • Transfer to a blender (reserve liquid and add in as much as necessary to pure smoothly) and pure until very smooth • Add dijon and horseradish to taste

YOU and the LAW Age matters when injured: “Golden Years” Doctrine
INTERIOR TO LOWER MAINLAND TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT Public Safety Notice – Winter recreationalists and snowmobilers Winter recreationalists and snowmobilers should be aware that construction of the Interior to Lower Mainland (ILM) Transmission Line continues. On-site activities include clearing of the right-of-way; construction of access roads and tower foundations; and tower assembly and erection. The ILM right-of-way continues to be a construction zone with restricted access. Restricted access is required for worker and public safety to avoid risks associated with such things as guy lines, partially constructed foundations, construction materials, or other potential hazards that may be hidden or partially hidden by the snow. Please avoid using the right-of-way for your activities. If you are in the area, use extra care when traveling around the right-of-way.
or loss of future earning capacity – quitting his job, however reluctantly, before 65 was his own choice.
While he wasn’t reprimanded at work (the occasional co-worker jibe apart), his pride made him feel he was cheating by doing less than he could before. So he decided to take early retirement a year and a half after the car accident.
Of course, age is only one factor considered in arriving at the proper compensation for lost life enjoyment – type and severity of injury and pain, disability and emotional suffering are some others. Also, an older person is more likely to already have other physical problems or pre-existing conditions for which the defendant cannot be held responsible. So each case depends on its own particular facts.
In the four years before the trial, he saw his doctor, visited a chiropractor, did physiotherapy and also saw a medical specialist about his ongoing shoulder problems, which limited the things he could do. Before the accident, he’d been an avid gardener, a skilled handyman working on projects around the house and a fly-fisherman. He’d planned to pursue all these things more after his retirement at 65, and his good health before the car accident would have allowed that. But despite following the recommendations of his medical and other therapists, his ability to enjoy his hobbies was curtailed.
The ILM project is a new 247 kilometre 500 kilovolt transmission line between Merritt and Coquitlam that will expand the electrical system so that BC Hydro can continue to deliver clean and reliable energy to homes and businesses in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. For more information on the project please visit: bchydro.com/ilm. If you have any questions, please contact BC Hydro Stakeholder Engagement: 1 866 647 3334 or 604 623 4472 or send an email to stakeholderengagement@bchydro.com.

man Chad Billins. The AHL all-star registered three points (one goal, two assists), including the game-tying goal with 6:04 remaining in the third, and the primary assist on Granlund’s game-winner. Evan Trupp, making his AHL debut on Wednesday after being summoned from the ECHL’s Alaska Aces earlier in the week, celebrated his career milestone with a thirdperiod goal, and Mark Cundari’s power-play marker in the middle frame was his second goal in three games. Heat centre Corban Knight notched two assists. Joey MacDonald picked up the win between the pipes, turning aside 32 of 35 shots. Both teams found success with the man advantage – the Heat went 2-for-3, while the IceHogs were 2-for-4. The penalty kill continues to be a sore spot for Abbotsford, which sits 28th in the league (75.6 per cent) in that department. The victory enabled the Heat (25-13-2, 52 points) to leapfrog the Texas Stars (23-10-5, 51 points) for first place in the West Division, though the Stars have two games in hand. Abbotsford wraps up its six-game road trip with a Friday-Saturday set vs. the defending Calder Cup champion Grand Rapids Griffins.

Last Friday, they dropped a hard-fought 5-4 decision to the Brittain Conferenceleading Aldergrove Kodiaks (26-5-3), who prevailed on the strength of Spencer Unger’s power-play goal with 5:04 left in the third period. Parker, Brady Lawlor, Jared Virtanen and Joel Balzer scored the Abby goals. The Pilots bounced back with a 5-3 road win over the North Delta Devils the next night, building a 51-36 edge in shots and getting goals from Monk, Parker, Grieve, Lawlor and Philip Gauthier. Q The Pilots have just one game this week – they host the Port Moody Panthers on Friday (7:30 p.m., MSA Arena).
Virtanen earns lofty ranking Abbotsford hockey prospect Jake Virtanen is No. 9 among North American skaters in the NHL Central Scouting midterm rankings. The stock watch for the 2014 NHL entry draft, released Monday, is Central Scouting's first proper rankings of the season. The scouting body had released a "ones to watch" list back in September, and Virtanen, a 6'1", 208-pound left winger, had received an 'A' designation. The 17-year-old is in his second full season with the Calgary Hitmen of the Western Hockey League, and has 26 goals and 16 assists for 42 points in 43 games this season with a +11 rating. He's been particularly hot since the calendar flipped to 2014, having notched seven goals and five assists in seven games thus far in January. Virtanen participated in the BMO CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game on Wednesday.

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask!
ik^l^gml3
By David S. Craig
Shows: January 24 & 25, 30-Feb. 1, 6-8 Matinees: January 25, February 1 & 8 MEI Auditorium 4081 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford Tickets @ House of James: 1-800-665-8828 www.gallery7theatre.com
Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-
served for the real estate agents and their clients. This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home. To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811. This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
This hi new Q50 looks l k great, has a wonderful interior, power to spare and solid handling dynamics. Zack Spencer
Visit the Q50 photo gallery at DrivewayBC.ca
2014 Infiniti Q50 challenges the old order Infiniti has had a bit of an identity crisis over the past year with a wholesale change in the way it names its products. Gone is the JX crossover, it’s called the QX60 now and the G 37 sedan has been replaced with the Q50 sedan. Q signifies for cars and QX for crossovers or SUVs. The outgoing G37 was already a very worthy on-road performer but a bit too simplistic in the inside. Now, Infiniti has taken things up a notch with the Q50, adding a dynamic look, sumptuous interior and class leading technology. Looks It could be argued that the current BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class are a bit conservative, while this Q50 and the major competitor, Lexus IS, are much edgier. This is especially true with the front grille. The rest of the Q50 is nicely sculpted, with flowing lines and an almost elegant rear end. Sold as a base model, sport trim, all wheel drive (AWD), premium, and even a hybrid, there is a broad market for this sedan. Starting at $37,500 and ramping up to the AWD sport model at $49,950, there is a substantial discount with the Q50 when you compare it to a similarly equipped BMW. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels but most of the higher trim levels are equipped with 19-inch wheels. The car seen here is the AWD premium model starting at $43,400. Inside The Q50 centre console is very attractive with two screens placed for radio functions and the second for the

The which is a good choice way the lower screen is due to the higher level incorporated is first rate; of interior amenities. it looks like a high quality In addition, the Q50 is iPad that sits flush with the first car to have a the dash, while the higher steer-by-wire system screen is recessed for easier that is customizable and use in bright light. this system is optional Direct Adaptive The only problem with on the AWD models and Steering has its this system is the time it standard on the sport takes to boot-up when critics but for me, the versions of the Q50. you start the car over 30 Direct Adaptive Steering Q50 feels like it is seconds to access the radio has its critics but for an extension of the and other features.

Verdict The benchmark in the premium compact sedan market has been the BMW 3 Series but the gap is narrowing. This new Q50 looks great, has a wonderful interior, power to spare and solid
handling dynamics. On price, the BMW 328i AWD is the closest and starts at $46,200 but is equipped with a 241hp 4-cylinder. The direct competitor on power is the much more expensive 335is AWD. The Lexus IS350 AWD is another premium offering from Japan, and it starts at a very competitive $44,000. As much as the Japanese automakers like to challenge the German makers, they really end up competing with each other. Yes, this is a worthy car but the one thing you cannot factor into the buying decision is the badge appeal that storied brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi provide.
What is your favourite brand of car and what model specifically do you like? Please explain why you have made that decision.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!
Go to drivewayBC.ca to submit your answer.
When extreme winter road conditions hit, it’s a good idea to think about whether you even need to get behind the wheel. If you have the option, consider public transit or carpool with some who has a vehicle prepared for the conditions. Also consider leaving for work just a little later to allow crews to clear the roads.

Four fun coupes for singles Alexandra Straub
So, you’re not married. That’s okay! You don’t have kids? No worries. You pretty much have the pick of the litter when it comes to buying a car. Why? Because you don’t necessarily have specific requirements that need to be met when selecting a vehicle. Meaning, you don’t need to consider having a large enough back-
seat to fit car seats, unless you want a big back seat for other reasons. Like, you have a dog that weighs as much as an adult. Or you don’t need four doors because you’re pretty much the only one going to be inside the cabin at any given time. Unless your profession requires you to haul around equipment or gear, you don’t have to buy a crossover, minivan, sedan or SUV if you don’t want to.
That said, many singles I know decide to get something a little less “practical” in the grand scheme of things. Less practicality is usually spelled with five letters: coupe. So, to those individuals who are the alpha of their one-person wolf pack, here are a few coupes under $30K to consider.
Honda Accord Coupe: Base MSRP $26,400
I’m starting off with the Accord because it’s a cool car. The current generation has so much going for it and definitely has developed more personality in the redesign. You have the option of two engines: a more economical 2.4L 4-cylinder or a more powerful 3.5L V6. Either way, you can get them equipped with a 6-speed manual or a CVT transmission. Only the EX-L Navi trim with the V6 has the option

Kia Forte Koup: Base MSRP $20,550
For just over $20K, the Kia Forte Koup is a solid value. And it’s not a bad looking car either. Inside, the interior is well finished and isn’t cheap. Furthermore, you have many great standard amenities that come with the base model like 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, heated front seats, remote keyless entry, air conditioning and more. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

cars on the route for long stretches. It was a lonely daytime drive in the S6 with very few cars passing in either direction. In terms of scenic interest, it is as disappointing as a mild chilli pepper in a bowl of Tex-Mex. It’s not that the tolls are high on the 65-kilometre stretch I travelled on the 210-kilometre route – less than $10, under $30 for commercial trucks. It’s just that the 85 mph limit is just not fast enough to encourage people to use it for what is a fairly short distance between those two major centres. And that’s

’’
especially so, when the posted speed limit on the regular toll-free state highways was raised to 75 mph (120 km/h) shortly after the turnpike was opened. The main section is also well to the east of Austin so there was a trek before I could unleash the horses under the hood. It would help to hike the limit another 10 mph (16 km/h): It’s a very well-engineered road and I can’t see that causing carnage. At the risk of attracting the interest of a Texan posse bent on a hanging, I might suggest that a reduction of the limit in the same magnitude on the regular highways might dramatically increase custom along the way. The only positive I can say is that I maintained the top legal speed for the length of the trip, which, as I reported last week, was impossible on the congested no-speed limit autobahn between Munich and Berlin. The growing network of toll roads in central Texas may have the highest speed limits in the nation but unless they ultimately stretch to Houston and/or Corpus Christi on the Gulf coast, it’s hard to imagine the operators emerging from the billion-dollar financial quagmire. The Department of Transportation has ended a rebate that had allowed trucks to use the road for the same price as cars since last April. That disincentive is likely to increase the red ink. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

A concept sedan worthy of a Formula One race track their colleagues at Infiniti Red Bull Racing. “From our shared passion for performance with Infiniti Red Bull Racing grew a collective desire to produce a vision of what a high-performance Infiniti Q50 could look like,” said Albaisa. “The design has a number of distinctive Formula One inspired touches. In particular, the sculpted front wing assembly and the rear aerodynamic packaging take their cues from the RB9 race car,” added Albaisa.

Chevrolet Cruze 2011 to 2013: A winner with drivers world wide
Bob McHugh
The Chevrolet Cruze was already a winner in Europe and Asia, before it cruised into Canada for the 2011 model year. Cruze continued its winning ways by adding the prestigious 2011 Canadian Car of the Year Award, presented by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) to its trophy cabinet. The base LS edition of Cruze comes with a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine and the Eco, LT and LTZ editions come with on Ecotec 1.4-litre turbocharged-four that delivers more power at low engine speeds, yet provides similar fuel economy. The transmission choice offered was either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. Clever aero tweaks, including active front grille shutters, help the Cruze Eco slice through air on low rolling-resistance tires. Weight saving initiatives (right down to the size and location of body welds) also trim 97 kg (214 lbs.) from its total body mass. A taller sixth overdrive gear allows additional highway fuel savings and an impressive official FE rating of 7.8/5.4 L/100 km (city/ highway) with the manual transmission.
Cruze has one of the roomiest cabins in the compact class. There’s also excellent fore-aft travel on the driver’s seat plus generous head room, making it a small car for big people. Adding to driver comfort, the steering wheel has both a tilt and telescopic feature, in all models. The trunk in a Cruze is also one of the largest in class and only slightly smaller than the VW Jetta. Top-notch safety features include 10 standard airbags, instead of the usual six fitted in its compact competitors. The extra occupant protection comes in the form of knee-airbags for the front passengers and side-impact airbags for the rear outboard passengers. The head curtain air bags in Cruze also provide rollover protection. A disturbingly high number of safety recalls (see list), however, might make one wonder about overall Cruze quality and safety. Cruze continued largely unchanged for the 2012 model year, other than adding touch-screen navigation and push-button start with keyless entry systems to the list of options available. An infotainment system, with Bluetooth streaming audio, was made standard on all but the base LS model, in 2013. A blind spot
warning system was also a new optional safety feature. Consumer Reports list the Cruze as a “Recommended” vehicle buy and show it as having an average repair history. It’s currently the best selling compact car in Canada, made by a domestic auto maker. Big on space, safety and performance, Cruze is probably the best compact car ever made by Chevrolet.

bolt and repair if necessary. 2011 - The automatic transmission shift linkage may not accurately reflect the actual transmission gear selection. This could allow the driver to move the shifter to PARK and remove the ignition key, even if the transmission gear is not in the PARK position. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, adjust the transmission shift linkage. 2011 - The bolt attaching the intermediate steering shaft to the steering gear input shaft may not have been properly installed. If the joint separates, a loss of steering function would result. Dealers will inspect and ensure that the bolt is fully seated and the shaft is properly assembled. 2011/2012 - Oil spilt during an oil change, or hydraulic fluid expelled from a clutch housing vent hole, could contact a hot engine shield and cause it to ignite and burn. Dealers will modify the engine shield to prevent fluid from contacting the shield. 2011/2012 - Welds may have been omitted from the fuel tank mounting
brackets could allow fuel leakage to occur in the event of a severe side impact crash. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, secure the fuel tank brackets using fasteners. 2011/2012 -In vehicles equipped with the 1.4L turbo engine and automatic transmission, a supplemental electric vacuum pump may not function as designed. This could result in an intermittent reduction or loss of brake power assist and increase stopping distances. Dealers will replace a micro-switch in the power brake vacuum pipe assembly. 2012 - The primary stage of the driver’s airbag may not deploy during a crash and increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Dealers will replace the steering wheel airbag coil. 2013 - In vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the passenger side halfshaft may fracture and separate, which would result in a loss of motive power. Dealers will replace affected halfshafts. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

HOWARTH, Ann Oct 8, 1922 - Jan 4, 2014 Ann passed away in Mission Hospital on January 4th, 2014 with her husband Ed by her side, she was 91 years old. She leaves behind her husband Edward Aitken, son Ken, daughter (deceased), son-in-law Bill, grandson Ken (Laurie), great grandson Cole (Cerria), grandson Rick (Cathy),
great granddaughter Rachal, step daughter Avril (Elwood), sister Pauline, brother Bill and sister-in-law Jean. Many thanks to Dr. Rahimi for the great care he gave Ann and to all the wonderful nurses at Mission Hospital. There will be a private service in the Spring for all the family. ~ Rest in Peace ~
Mum passed away peacefully at Mission Memorial Hospital on Boxing Day, after a long and productive life, following our Dad, Dr. John Allan Ireland, who passed away Boxing Day in 1974. Mum was also predeceased by sons Frank and John, our dearly loved brothers, and survived by son R. Allan (Karin), daughter Catherine (Ben), daughterin-law Connie, grandchildren K. Allan, Katrine Doganoglu (Tom), Margaret Meunier (John), Julianna, Katie, and great grandson little Johnny. Mum was born, raised and educated in Vancouver, graduating as a Registered Nurse from St. Paul’s Hospital in 1936. After two more years training in the then new field of Radiology, Mum moved to Kamloops to join the Irving clinic, where she met Dad. During WWII, Mum and Dad both served overseas with the Canadian Army Hospital in England, North Africa, and Sicily. Mum was proud to be a Canadian Nursing Sister, and maintained her association with fellow Nursing Sisters for many years, and she was surely one of the last surviving. Returning to Vancouver after the war, Mum and Dad settled down to raise us four kids, and serve in the community. Mum was an active UCW member at Ryerson United Church, and full-time stay-at-home mum. Later, she was able to enjoy golf at Point Grey Golf Club, and allegedly became a pretty good Bridge player too. Mum enjoyed her retirement at Arbutus Gardens for 22 years, golfing and taking trips all over the world with her friends until she had outlived most of them. In 2006 she came out to Mission to be close to family and spent her last seven years here. A memorial is to be held later when the winter blizzards subside, and the family can safely travel. Many thanks to the kind and compassionate staff and home support at the Carrington, who took such good care of Mum in her final years. Thanks also to Dr. Sabanathan and MMH nurses who listened and ensured Mum’s final days on this earth were comfortable.
KRAHN, Helene June 28, 1922 – Jan. 08, 2014 It is with sadness that the family announces the passing of Helene Krahn, yet rejoicing that she went into the presence of her Lord on Jan. 08, 2014. Predeceased by her husband John in 2008, Helene will be now greatly missed and lovingly remembered by her four children Hans (Rosetta), Fred (Judy), Anne (Vic) Jesse, Helen (Harry) Jesse, 14 grandchildren and 49 great grandchildren, friends and relatives.

Slipped away peacefully on January 8, 2014, after a valiant battle with Leukemia. Rick was born on September 12th, 1949 in North Vancouver and enjoyed the fun times that comes with been part of a large family. Rick had 4 brothers and 4 sisters. The family spent 8 years living at Half Moon Bay in Rick’s early years, before moving to Abbotsford where he spent the rest of his life. Rick is best known for his business Capt’n Crunch Auto Wrecking and Recycling, which he started in 1971. A true recycler, he saw value in everything. Demolition derby’s became a passion of Rick’s, entering his car at the PNE, Agrifair, B.C. Place Stadium and other fairs and winning more than 300 trophies. His later years brought him to boating on Harrison Lake, which he loved so much he finally bought a small cabin. Through his recycling talents he disassembled one log cabin in Mission, adding onto his existing cabin in Abbotsford and then building a beautiful log cabin at the lake moving everything on the water either pulling the logs or his homemade barge behind his 17’ Larson boat. We would pick up the logs and building material at 10 Mile Bay which were brought in his recycling bins by his ’60 Kenworth driven by long time Friend and Coworker Frank Dutra. It was nearly impossible to get him to leave and only winter months brought him home, but he always longed to be back at the cabin. Rick was a member of the Harrison Yacht Club and Valley Power and Sail Squadron. Friends and family meant everything to Rick. He enjoyed working alongside his son Rickie and in recent years, passing the running of the business on to him and his nephew Lee with the support of their wives, Rochelle and Jessica. Rick was able to step back and now enjoy retirement. Rick’s passing will leave a void in the lives of so many who loved him, especially his wife Gloria, his sons Rickie (Rochelle) and Lance, and their mother Virginia, brothers John (Lori), Joe (Corrie), Dennis (Karen), Larry (Rosanna), and sisters Rosemarie (Rick), Margaret (Louie), Cecilia (Ernie), Kathy (Harvey). Two beautiful granddaughters, Bella and Addy, many nieces and nephews and even more great nieces and nephews, and more on the way. Gloria gratefully acknowledges the kind, gentle and genuine care that was given Rick by the Chemo and Oncology Ward Nurses during his time at Abbotsford Regional Hospital. A special thank you to Dr. Paul Galbraith who went side-by-side with Rick in his battle. A Celebration of the Life that was Rick’s will be held on January 25th at the Abbotsford Arts Centre at 2:30 pm. In memory of Rick, the family kindly suggests that a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada would be fitting: http://www.llscanada.org/#/waystohelp/donate/
