VIKKI HOPES Abbotsford News

Bunker, a sandhill crane, walks confidently with the prosthetic leg that was made for him in Denver, Colorado. The bird had to have his leg amputated after he was wounded on a golf course in Richmond almost a year ago. He has been healing in Abbotsford under the care of veterinarian Dr. Ken Macquisten and Elizabeth Melnick of Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center.

Notice of Public Information Meeting Proposed amendment to Of¿cial Community Plan Bylaw, 2005 for properties located at Lot 1 Atkinson Road, Lot 7 Eldridge Road and 3435 Eldridge Road

Snow & Ice Control

Frozen Material in Curbside Containers Winter temperatures can freeze garbage and compost inside your curbside container and make it dif¿cult 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.

City Waste Collection During Extreme Winter Weather

The City of Abbotsford will hold a public information meeting to consult with the public on a proposal to amend the City’s Of¿cial Community Plan (OCP), which would change the land use designation of the subject properties from Suburban Residential to Industrial. This amendment is necessary in conjunction with the applicant’s proposal to rezone the subject properties from One Unit Rural Residential Zone (RR2) to General Industrial Zone (I2) to permit the development of a 5 lot industrial subdivision that will allow the development of an agricultural equipment sales, servicing and rental center.

The public is invited to attend this meeting to comment on the proposed OCP amendment. The applicant will be available to answer questions regarding the proposed development. Presentation boards will also be available which will outline the preliminary proposed drawings in greater detail.

Meeting date: Wednesday, February 5, 2014 Location: Ramada Plaza & Conference Centre – 36035 North Parallel Road, Abbotsford Time: 6:00 - 8:00 pm If you have any questions, please contact Planning Services Division staff.

Mitchell Comb Senior Planner Ph: 604-851-4174 mcomb@abbotsford.ca

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.

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 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. Additional information on our Snow and Ice Control Program can be found at www.abbotsford.ca/engineering. For more information, please contact the Engineering Operations Division at 604-853-5485.

Road Closure Notice — Townline 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 9, 2014. The road closure is to facilitate the installation of a watermain under the railway tracks.

No through traf¿c 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 May¿eld, Project Engineer, at 604-864-5514 or mmay¿eld@abbotsford.ca.

High-density ‘urban village’ combined From A1

Mission Community Health Care Centre is an example of centralizing services to simplify access to health care and deliver them collaboratively.

“That’s a model that is new to Fraser Health and it’s a model that they would like to deliver in Abbotsford.”

Mission’s building is the first of its kind in the Fraser Health Authority, and is located adjacent to the Mission Memorial Hospital.

The new health facilities would cover only a portion of the land and the proposal calls for the possibility of creating a high-density “urban village” with

multi-family housing, social housing, retail and other amenities, as well as an urban park on 1.1 acres of existing treed land.

If the project does not proceed and the site remains vacant, Fraser Health must sell the land by March 15, 2015, due to a provincial initiative to release assets of health authorities if they are not being used.

In addition to Fraser Health’s plans for a community health centre and seniors’ complex, the former MSA Hospital site was also the proposed location of a YMCA project.

The controversial project, which would have seen $17.5 million in city funds con-

tributed to its construction, was greeted with strong opposition from some community members.

The project was indefinitely deferred in April of last year, with any potential YMCA proposal subject to a whole new project plan. The current plan for the MSA Hospital site has no inclusion of a YMCA. With FVRHD approval for funding, Fraser Health will now issue a request for proposals for the seniors’ complex.

The schedule calls for the project to go through the rezoning process with the city of Abbotsford in January 2016, and for construction to begin in September 2016.

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! 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.

Police issuing warning of amateur radio fraudster Man seeks donations for two organizations Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is warning the public that a man trying to collect donations for amateur radio clubs is a fraudster.

Const. Ian MacDonald said the APD has received a few reports in the last month that a man has approached people and claimed to be involved with either the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) or Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC).

He has asked for a donation to support their work, but MacDonald said police have contacted those groups and neither solicits funds in this way nor do they have a member with the name the man has been using.

MacDonald said ARES and RAC collect donations online through their websites, but are mostly funded by government agencies.

ONLINE abbynews.com

He said police are concerned that the fraudster is using the good work of ARES and REC to take advantage of others.

MacDonald said police consider these organizations partners in emergency response.

Certified volunteers provide a back-up communications system in the event of an emergency or disaster when other systems become unusable.

MacDonald said the fraudster has also purported to be other people of importance, including a social media marketer and a former Navy SEAL. Police would like to talk to anyone who may have encountered the man or who has other information to share.

MacDonald said the man could face potential fraud charges. Anyone with information is asked to contact the APD at 604-859-5225 or text abbypd (222973).

QUESTION

WebTalk Opposition to homeless housing plan

OF THE WEEK Do you agree with party leader Justin Trudeau’s move to have Liberal senators sit as independents?

How are the ADBA and members positioned to be a problem-solver instead of a stumbling block?

Rxx Hiebert

To answer, go to abbynews.com

I do agree that the downtown core is not the most appropriate of areas to support a shelter or residence of this nature. The core needs further business growth and to be able to attract customers to those businesses. The property in question was already zoned to disallow this and in fact as a result has turned away several previous applications that failed to meet the zoning requirements. That said, the city needs to also find suitable areas to allow for supportive centers or homes to be built. It’s not an easy thing to juggle, I understand, but it isn’t impossible either.

Robert Kleisinger

Is it wrong to sell items received as a donation from a charitable organization?

Holota

On Point In the frustrating, sad chess game that has developed between the homeless and city hall in Abbotsford, a bizarre piece was recently added.

It’s somehow appropriate that it’s a huge teepee – complete with smoky campfire – because it reflects the in-your-face atmosphere that cloaks the issue in this city.

The oddball structure now squats on a piece of public lawn on the west end of Gladys Avenue.

The occupants moved there after being evicted from Jubilee Park, where the canvas abode first appeared as part of a homelessness “protest” camp that sprang up in October and required a court order to evict by late December. Ousted from the park, the “protesters” moved into the adjacent cityowned parking lot, behind a hulking foursided plywood enclosure that had appeared overnight.

The donor(s) of the wood and labour in-

volved in putting up the ridiculous wooden bunker in a public parking lot did it for one reason – another in-your-face move to attract attention, which it did.

Ultimately, the big plywood box disappeared, as we knew it would, but the teepee went right back up in another corner of the downtown If it’s ejected from there, it only remains to be seen where the teepee goes up next.

And so, the game goes on with no particular city vision, particularly since the infamous manure-dumping incident last June, when city workers fertilized a popular homeless campsite on Gladys in a very misguided attempt to clear a chronic problem.

The only long-term, viable solution that’s been fielded – and it was in progress long before last summer’s embarrassment – is a proposal by Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) to build a low-barrier housing facility for homeless men a few blocks away from the downtown core.

While there are several councillors who apparently support the project, none of

them has actively championed it, although the city participated in early discussions to identify the proposed site – on land owned

by ACS, which comes at no cost to local taxpayers.

Mayor Bruce Banman has said several times that the homelessness issue is not going to be solved by Abbotsford alone – it needs senior government action.

True enough, and take note: The ACS proposal has been approved for $2.4 million in provincial capital funds, plus $215,000 annually in operating money. Again, no local taxpayer money is required.

The lack of local political enthusiasm is explainable. The downtown business association quickly took a NIMBY position, predicting economic doom and gloom, and pointing out city zoning passed years ago disallows such services in the downtown area.

Of course, that’s where the homeless already are. And why would zoning ever be altered to reflect changing urban and social realities?

Not all of the local homeless may take up

Why would zoning ever be altered to reflect urban and social realities?

the offer of recovery and a roof over their heads, but it would give the city a much stronger position to clear them out of public areas.

If this plan fails to win approval, ACS, BC Housing and the city will have essentially wasted years of time and effort on a solution that addresses a host of problems.

I’ll be surprised if, in this civic election year, the controversial proposal gets a green light.

Ditto my doubt for the creation of a solid civic plan on homelessness, which requires a lot of tough love to deal with the myriad factors that create the condition, followed by the inevitable voices which will say “not that, not here, not now!”

Move the homeless off public property, and the soft-touch types harp about inhumanity. Let the street people camp wherever they want, and other citizens do a slow boil over city inaction. Approve a homeless housing project near the downtown, and business owners cry foul.

If this proposal is rejected after all this in-your-face, Victoria could easily take the money and do an about-face.

And that leaves Abbotsford and its homeless right where they are now – in a game where the pieces are tents and a teepee.

PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER

Abbotsford News Friday, January 31, 2014

letters Homeless: Get businesses involved Accessible housing for the homeless is a good and much-needed goal for our community.

However, I fear the housing-first proposal won’t make a big impact on the homeless problem in downtown Abbotsford.

One of the most inspiring projects I’ve seen for the homeless in Vancouver is a bottle recycling depot called United We Can. The profitable business was started by a homeless person who had an idea. Encouraged by the community, today it employs many “unemployable” people.

When the community learns what it means to respect the homeless and believe in them, the resulting opportunity pays dividends. Passing the job to a hired service eliminates a key ingredient: a local community with skin in the game.

Another inspiring example is the Common Ground project in New York. In the early ’80s the Times Square Hotel was known for peep shows and prostitution, and was on the verge of being condemned.

Today, the hotel fits into the high-priced surroundings with its gold-trimmed ceilings and marble lobby. Living here are 650 people who once regularly frequented New York’s homeless shelters. They’re now successfully blending into their community.

Rosanne Haggerty, the visionary behind the project, noticed that after the project completion, there were still homeless people outside the hotel.

“We had just written people off because we thought their failure to use the shelter system meant they didn’t want the shelter.”

She decided to go outside and ask them why they were on the street. After months of hard

work, enlisting the help of community volunteers and businesses, the 55 homeless people they found were all housed.

There are no homeless in that neighbourhood today.

Critical to success was a local government willing to cut through the red tape, a local community of business owners providing the funds, and a group of volunteers who work the streets and programs.

The BC Housing proposal in Abbotsford will successfully house 21 or so people, but I’m afraid its impact on the homeless problem will be minimal. Its effect on the taxpayer’s pocketbook, however, will be considerable.

The cornerstone essential to any innovative solution is missing – the passion and commitment of the grassroots. Obtaining signatures in support of the proposal isn’t grassroots backing.

Solutions to combat the homeless problem in Abbotsford must come from all the players with skin in the game – the local businesses and residents as well as the homeless themselves.

I implore Abbotsford Community Services not to follow the money. There’s a reason why Common Ground in New York succeeded. They garnered the support of local business. In fact, they’re fully supported by outside donations.

With no skin in the game from the community, not only will our homeless problem remain unchanged, the economical viability of the Abbotsford downtown area may be compromised.

Dan FERGUSON Black Press

The federal government is investing $2.8 million to help blueberry, raspberry and strawberry growers improve their product by developing pest- and diseaseresistant varieties and better production methods.

The announcement was made at a press conference held at a Langley berry farm on Jan. 23.

Ottawa’s $2.8 million will have another $1 million added by the industry, coming from the B.C. Blueberry Council, Raspberry Industry Development Council, B.C. Cranberry Marketing

Commission and the B.C. Strawberry Growers Association.

Langley member of parliament Mark Warawa spoke at the outdoor event, saying the funds “will help the berry industry in the Fraser Valley and across the Lower Mainland to grow and prosper.”

The actual announcement was made by Parliamentary Secretary Pierre Lemieux, speaking on behalf of federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz.

“Key investments in innovation like this one will allow berry farmers to stay ahead of the competition and remain

competitive in the global marketplace,” Lemieux said, adding the research will benefit berry growers across Canada. The money will go to the Lower Mainland Horticulture Improvement Association (LMHIA).

Sukh Kahlon, an Abbotsford grower who sits on both the Raspberry Industry Development Council and the BC Blueberry Council, said the industry needs to continually innovate.

“We need to engage in projects that will help growers and the industry remain on the cutting edge and be competitive on the global stage,” Kahlon said.

Guilty of trying to lure boy away Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A former missionary/ pastor from Abbotsford has been convicted in relation to an incident in which he insisted a 12-year-old boy come with him so he could buy him some new shoes.

Patrick Marini, 71, was found guilty recently in Abbotsford provincial court of attempting to entice a child away from his parent, but was acquitted of an additional charge of attempted kidnapping.

He will be sentenced at a later date.

Frank White stands in front of his one-log truck in 1939.

Trucker, 99, publishes first book Frank White recounts story of how Abbotsford grew up Alina KONEVSKI Abbotsford News

Modern Abbotsford is the busiest city in the region with concrete multi-lane highways snaking endlessly through the landscape.

But not so long ago, one man’s rickety dairy truck frequently careened along the town’s early tough roads in a rush to bring milk to Vancouver.

Frank White recounts the story of a changing Abbotsford

and his place in it in his memoir, Milk Spills & One-Log Loads: Memories of a Pioneer Truck Driver. This marks White’s debut into publishing at the age of 99.

When White moved to Abbotsford in 1919 at age four, the Matsqui and Abbotsford community had about 4,000 people. White was one of the hard-working pioneers who helped propel the town to its current busy industrial state.

He has watched that popula-

tion multiply 30-fold.

As a teenager, White began driving Abbotsford’s first Ford Model T after his father purchased the vehicle to run deliveries for the family butcher shop on Essendene Avenue.

With that practice, White landed the job of driving the first bulk hauling milk truck in Abbotsford, bringing shipments of 10-gallon milk jugs to Vancouver.

“In those days, many people grew up in Abbotsford without ever having gone to Vancouver. It was just such a journey,” said White’s son, Howard, who also published the memoir.

Milk trucks competed to sell their product in the big city, and drivers frequently took a corner too quickly or collided in their enthusiasm.

White recalls major roads running with spilled milk.

then, some old growth logs were eight feet thick and only one would fit on the back of the truck.

Milk Spills & OneLog Loads weaves through the development of the dairy and logging industries in Abbotsford through one man’s first-hand experience. The raucous book covers White’s time until just after the Second World War; the author is already working on the second memoir that would complete his life story.

The humble potato was tightly controlled by a marketing board, and people who hit their local sales limit would hire White to do midnight spud runs into Vancouver.

Later on, White started driving one of the first logging trucks in the Valley. The old rebuilt delivery van barely crawled up Sumas Mountain and struggled under the weight of logs. Back

The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) will hold a free lecture on the Agricultural Land Commission as part of a series commemorating the university’s 40th anniversary.

According to Dr. Lenore Newman, who holds a Canada Research Chair in food security and the environment at UFV, urban sprawl would now cover virtually all farmland between Vancouver and the Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford if not for the protection of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

Newman will be speaking about the ALR on Feb. 5 at 4 p.m. in the lecture theatre (B101) on the Abbotsford campus.

New Homes Registry Keeps Homebuyers Informed This helpful, easy-to-use, online resource is available from the Homeowner Protection Office (HPO) website at www.hpo.bc.ca. Savvy homebuyers are using it to make more informed purchasing decisions.

The New Homes Registry provides free access to find out if a home has a policy of home warranty insurance and is built by a Licensed Residential Builder, or whether it’s built without home warranty insurance. Homebuyers can obtain valuable information such as the name and contact number of the warranty provider, the builder’s warranty number and whether an owner-built home can be legally offered for sale.

Every new home built for sale by a Licensed Residential Builder in British Columbia is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance.

Better known as 2-5-10 home warranty insurance, this coverage includes: two years on labour and materials, five years on the building envelope (including water penetration), and 10 years on the structure. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada.

Question

One bad Durango in a good way The 2014 Dodge Durango test truck was the perfect Christmas treat.

This is the perfect kind of vehicle to have when you need to cart around extra kids and family from events like skating parties to Christmas dinners to anything else that needs getting done over the festive season. With three rows of seats and seating for six or seven passengers, the Durango is a large comfortable vehicle for any large family or a family of four that needs to take extra people to soccer or hockey practice. The Durango tester was the top of line Citadel model with a beautiful two-tine interior, large polished wheels and classy looking grille. It was not fitted with winter tires but we had no skiing plans, plus all Durango models come with AWD as standard equipment.

Looks I can’t remember the last time a large SUV turned heads but this model had passersby, friends, and family all taking notice. Several neighbours commented on the stylish “racetrack” rear light bar that has migrated from the Dodge Dart and Charger sedans to this big SUV for 2014. Because of standard AWD and other packaging changes, the starting price is higher than direct competitors, the Ford Explorer or Nissan Pathfinder. Both those vehicles have a base model that starts around $30,000, the Durango, in contrast, starts at $39,995 and tops out at $51,995. This Citadel model, with options, is over $60,000.

The base model comes nicely equipped with 18-inch wheels, keyless entry and

It is loaded with the latest technology, has a class leading 8-speed automatic, attitude and room to spare. I enjoyed my entire time with it and so did the rest of the family, we even gave it a name, “The Badongo” I don’t know why, but it really is one Bad Durango. If I can read the tea leaves for a moment, I would bet the EcoDiesel will be coming to the Durango, hopefully sooner rather then better.

Predictions of Hybrid extinction are premature ‘‘

Hybrid vehicles have never been more affordable and certainly well worth consideration, if you’re thinking about buying a new vehicle.

’’

Bob McHugh

Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently equated hybrid vehicles to early amphibians that hopped out of the oceans, learned to survive on land and eventually disappeared.

Ironically, if the electric vehicle (EV) evolved in a similar way, Tesla (an exclusively EV company) wouldn’t exist right now

and this would probably be in a vibrant Hybrid Age! Despite the early birth of production EV, hybrid (HEV) and now plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) sales continue to rise, new models continue to arrive and at least three all-new PHEVs are expected later this year.

An HEV functions just like, or similar to, a conventional gas-engine vehicle, from a driver/ owner perspective. It consumes substantially less fuel, especially in an urban environment, and a regenerative braking system can greatly extend the life of brake friction pads.

A PHEV increases the energy saving, money saving, and greenhouse gas reducing advantages by tapping into an electrical source and pulling relatively inexpensive electrical power off

the main grid. It then uses this energy to go further on electrical power alone.

How far depends primarily on the capacity (size) of its storage battery, but also on the drive system, the terrain and weather conditions and how the PHEV is driven.

Lugging around a bigger battery obviously increases

the weight of a PHEV and it takes up either passenger cabin or more likely trunk cargo space. The latest lithium-ion battery packs are lighter and more compact, but the space sacrifice is something that a prospec-

tive owner must be willing to live with.

Hybrid owner feedback is generally very positive and the fuel savings can be substantial. That said, you generally pay a premium for this technology, but that gap is rapidly narrowing.

Last year, GM slashed $5,000 off the price of its popular Chevrolet Volt, the best selling PHEV on the market. While GM marketing promotes the Volt as an “extended range” electric vehicle, as its road wheels are always driven by an electric motor, it’s still classified as a PHEV. A small on-board gas engine generates electricity, when necessary.

The new Honda Accord Hybrid (a HEV) further blurs the differences between HEV and PHEV, as it uses the same two-motor powertrain used in the Accord

MAINTENANCE • TIRES • BRAKES • OIL & FILTER • BATTERIES • ALIGNMENT

We service all makes & models

2014 Honda Accord Hybrid Plug-in Hybrid (a PHEV edition that’s currently only sold in selected markets).

At speeds under 80 km/h the road wheels are driven by an electric motor and its Atkinson cycle gas engine is only used to generate electrical power, when needed.

The current list price for an Accord EX-L is $29,455 and the Accord Hybrid starts at $29,590, which is only $135 more.

The top-line Accord Touring V6 sells for $35,400 and the Touring edition of Accord Hybrid is $35,690, just an extra $290. The price differential is almost non-existent.

Choosing HEV or PHEV

boils-down to whether an owner can take full advantage of the plug-in electrical storage feature and normal driving commutes are within the electric-only

speed and distance range of the PHEV. A low-speed urban driving commute allowing the PHEV to be charged at home overnight and topped-up again while at work, during the day,

would be an ideal scenario.

While the popularity of hybrid vehicles continues to grow, barring a sudden spike in the price of oil/ gasoline, a meteoric rise in the popularity of alternatives to the old reliable gas engine vehicle is unlikely. Then again, who knows what the future, or the next twist in evolution, will bring.

Hybrid vehicles have never been more affordable and certainly well worth consideration, if you’re thinking about buying a new vehicle. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

It’s hard to believe that the BMW X5 Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) was launched in the last century.

It was a pioneer vehicle in 1999, which essentially launched a brand new segment.

Fast forward to 2014 and you now have the latest installment of five-passenger people mover. 2014 BMW X5 xDrive 35i. The third generation X5 continues the tradition of modern luxury mixed with a capable xDrive all-wheel drive system, and of course, some of the latest tech gadgets.

It also comes with an overhauled look, on the inside and out. Starting with its Mineral White Metallic exterior, BMW continues to build on the X5’s soft-edge features, meaning, designers didn’t ditch the rounded curves for more angular or boxy characteristics.

Its physique continues to embody the philosophy of a short front overhang, a long wheelbase, upright A-pillars and a short distance between the front axle and the leading edge of the front door. The broad-set kidney grille reaches out and touches the front headlights, making its head-on appearance bold and seamless.

If functionality is what you’re after, the X5 has plenty of

that.

Instead of starting in the front row, let’s skip to the back seats. The leather-trimmed cabin offers each occupant a cuddle when sitting inside. Furthermore, legroom in the second row is generous, especially when the front seats aren’t pushed all the way back. There’s even a decent amount of space in the cargo area, which totals 650L. In the driver’s seat, the captain of this luxurious vehicle has the best of all worlds.

Within arm’s reach is the iDrive infotainment system, easily readable centre stack and the gearshift lever to the 8-speed automatic transmission with Steptronic. The transmission is then linked to its award-winning engine.

Powering this particular vehicle was the 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline-six cylinder engine. It has an output of 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.

Should you desire more ponies, you can always opt for the 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V8 offering more get up and go (445hp and 479 lb-ft of torque.)

When you turn on the X5 via the push button start, you also have the option to have more or less pizazz when it comes to driving dynamics.

There are four modes in which you can enjoy this SAV including, Comfort,

The redesigned 2011 Grand Cherokee was still unmistakably a Jeep, even though it came with an all-new chassis and body.

It was offered with an impressively wide range of basic hardware choices that included three 4x4 systems, an optional Quadra-Lift air suspension system and two engines.

The standard engine is a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 and other than some early production line glitches, (see

recalls) it’s a pretty reliable, fuel efficient modern unit.

A big improvement on the previous 3.7 V6, the 3.6 V6 features 24-valves and variable valve timing and can produce 290 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque.

And fuel economy is rated at: 13.0/8.9 L/100 km (city/ highway).

That’s considerably better than the optional 5.7-litre V8 Hemi engine, which is rated at 15.7 L/100 km in the city and 10.6 L/100 km on the highway. The pulling power (390 lb-ft of torque) of the

Hit Happens!

Let us straighten you out.

big V8 engine, however, helps to more than double the potential towing capability of the Grand Cherokee, from 1588 kg to 3266 kg.

Both engines are mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.

The Laredo and Laredo X trim levels come with Quadra-Trac I, a full-time 4x4 system that distributes drive 48/52 front-to-rear, but no low-range is provided.

Quadra-Trac II was optional on Laredo X and standard continued on page 29

Versatile Sienna is a minivan in name only

Ian Harwood

The Toyota Sienna has evolved and adapted to a changing market continuously since its introduction in 1998.

Looks: The Sienna van has a very familiar front end. Look no further than the Toyota Venza where it not only shares the same face but also the same platform. In fact, this platform is used in the Highlander, RAV4, and Camry.

This new look is attracting buyers that in the past would not see themselves

XLE Limited comes with a multi-panel moon roof that features two independently controlled sunroofs. The front is a tilt and slide, while the rear just slides.

Safety first: There are seven standard airbags, including dual stage front and seat mounted side airbags for driver and front passenger, plus a new driver side knee airbag. Side curtain airbags cover the entire length of the van.

Power: Power is provided by a 3.5 Litre V6, aluminum block, with 266 horsepower and

to fold into and when the seats are up, it provides tons of space for storage.

Verdict: I like the improved styling in this vehicle and the

roomy interior. Although there is enough power to move this vehicle along

very well, I did notice the transmission constantly shifting down looking for

more power when fully loaded with 7 passengers. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

driving a minivan. When I drove it, I felt as if I was driving a crossover, lots of room and power. I like the LED taillights, very bright and easy to see. The optional power sliding doors have retractable windows and are larger making it easier for getting in and out. They are controlled by a push of a button on the key fob.

In The Cab: There is plenty of leg room for the driver and front passenger. Unlike previous Sienna vans where the driver’s seat would only go back so far and taller people ended up with their knees up around the steering wheel. This version is fully adjustable with a longer and wider seat cushion that can make drivers of any size comfortable. The second row has captain’s chairs that have a one touch walk-in feature and the third row is a 60/40 split, with a one-touch stow mechanism that folds seats flat for storage. The

Most minivans tend to have a lot of body motion and this one did not. Power was there to pass and with the driver seat further back it felt more relaxing.

drivewayBC.ca Drives-U-Crazy Roundabout rebels My peeve is people who “crash” through a roundabout, writes reader John Haygarth.

Approaching one, you slow down and look left. If someone is already in, let them continue. Do not cut them off as many do here in Penticton. Before reaching your exit, you signal right to let others know

they can enter. They are a great way to filter traffic different ways without traffic lights and if used correctly can actually speed up your trip.

New Caddy saves energy

NEW YEAR. NEW LUCK. NEW HONDA.

Green Car Journal has awarded the all-new Cadillac ELR electrified luxury coupe its 2014 Green Car Technology Award for the Regen on Demand system.

The technology allows the driver to use paddle shifters on the steering wheel to temporarily regenerate energy and store it as electricity in the battery pack for later use.

“Putting regenerative braking at the driver’s fingertips supports the ELR’s 340-mile total driving range while also adding a

fun-to-drive element to the premium luxury coupe,” said Jim Vurpillat, director of emerging markets at Cadillac.

Powering the ELR is a combination of pure electric drive and an efficient, range-extending 1.4L gasoline-powered electric generator. A T-shaped, 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack is located along the centerline of the vehicle, between the front and rear wheels to make the most of weight distribution. kmorgan@blackpress.ca

This system is capable of sending 100 per cent of drive to either the front or rear axle and has a selectable low range, which is important for demanding off-road use.

Then there’s Quadra-Drive II. This was optional on the Laredo X, Limited and Overland and adds an electronic limited-slip differential that can concentrate up to 100 per cent of drive to a single wheel. It also comes with Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist systems.

The optional (Quadra Lift) air suspension can lower or raise (to a maximum of 27 cm) the ride height. It has a Park Mode that drops to its lowest (making it easier for passengers to get in or out) and an Aero Mode that automatically lowers the Grand Cherokee at highway speeds for improved aerodynamics and stability.

In addition to being a more rigid platform, the new chassis gave Grand Cherokee a 13 cm longer wheelbase and a new independent rear suspension. High-speed handling and highway ride comfort, particularly for rear seat passengers, was noticeably improved.

A new top-line SRT edition of Grand Cherokee, with a 6.4-litre V8 Hemi engine, was added for the 2012 model year. A six-speed automatic transmission also replaced the five-speed automatic with the 5.7-litre V8 and a U-connect handsfree phone feature became a standard on all versions.

No significant changes were made for the 2013 model year and the big news for 2014 is the introduction of a diesel engine edition plus a new 8-speed automatic transmission.

The iconic Jeep brand’s popular premium luxury utility vehicle, the Grand Cherokee has been around for more than twenty years.

A generally good reliability record has helped make it a Consumer Reports “Recommended” buy and safety-wise it has been a top performer in both government and independent crash tests. If you enjoy the outdoors, you’ll love the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Classic car TV stars when the Big Three ruled TV at the end. Here are some favourite shows and the brand of cars they featured: • “The Rockford Files”: One of the last great private-eye shows, former big-screen star James Garner played slick Jim Rockford to perfection. And while Rockford almost never used a gun, he did use a gold Pontiac Firebird on a regular basis.

Frequent continuity errors meant that Rockford could be seen driving several different years of mid-’70s Firebirds in one scene.

• “Green Acres”: One of the trio of CBS’s hit “rural shows,” along with “Petticoat Junction” and “The Beverly Hillbillies,” “Green Acres” was a Ford show, and the cars that received most of the screen time were a series of 1965-67 Lincoln Continental con-

It was the dawn of the productplacement era, and cars were by far the choicest products to embed in shows like ‘Green Acres’ and ‘Bewitched.’

vertibles driven by cranky Oliver Douglas (played by Eddie Albert).

• “Charlie’s Angels”: Every adolescent boy’s favourite show was also a Ford show for most of its run. Two of the Angels drove a Mustang II — Farrah Fawcett’s character, Jill, drove what passed for a Cobra in those days — and ironically, the brainy Angel, Sabrina, actually drove a Pinto.

• “The Beverly Hillbillies”: The Hillbillies was a comparatively rare Mopar show – The Chrysler Corporation supplied the vehicles.

The snobby Drysdales, a wealthy banking family, could usually be seen in a top-of-the-line Imperial, and Milburn Drysdale’s long-suffering assistant, Jane Hathaway, usually drove a Dodge Coronet or a Plymouth Fury convertible.

• “Bewitched”: For most of its run, “Bewitched” was proudly pro-Chevy, with tons of Camaros, Caprices and even Corvairs appearing over the show’s long run. But the guy with the wife who could twitch her nose and conjure up any car he wanted rarely had the coolest ride on the show. Nope, it was Darrin Stephens’ boss, Larry Tate, who often showed up in a new Corvette convertible.

SCHOOL DISTRICT

NEWS 2014-15 Local School Calendar Review Parents and guardians are encouraged to participate in the online survey regarding the 2014-15 school year. At the regular meeting of January 14, the Board of Education served Notice of Intent that the 2014/2015 Local School Calendar would be presented for debate and vote at its regular meeting on February 25. Parents/guardians and district employees can see further details about the two proposed calendars for 2014-15, and take an online survey (until February 14) via: www.sd34.bc.ca/board/consultations

4th Annual Shared Learning Parent Evening Self-regulation is becoming a well-accepted philosophy in raising and educating children.

Parents and guardians are invited to join the Abbotsford School District and District Parent Advisory Committee on Thursday, February 20th , 6:30pm for Calm, Alert and Learning: How to help your child learn to self-regulate with Dr. Stuart Shanker, a leading expert on self-regulation for children and a distinguished professor of philosophy and psychology at York University.

Dr. Shanker maintains that Canadian kids do not know what it is to feel calm anymore because there is too much stimulation in their lives. Come and hear about the four key practices to enhancing your children’s self-regulation.

Free admission but pre-registration required. See www. sd34.bc.ca/announcement/4th-annual-shared-learning-parent-evening .

District Named to AP Honor Roll Abbotsford School District has again been included on the College Board's 4th Annual Advanced Placement (‘AP’) District Honor Roll — a list of 477 districts across the U.S. and Canada being honoured for increasing access to AP® course work.

Reaching this goal indicates that these districts are successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit from rigorous AP course work. Abbotsford is one of 12 Canadian school districts on the list (four from BC). Secondary schools offering AP courses in Abbotsford are: Yale, Rick Hansen, Robert Bateman, and Abbotsford Traditional Secondary. In addition Abbotsford Senior offers the highly successful International Baccalaureate Programme.

Yale Annual Global Fundraiser On February 28th, Yale Secondary’s leadership classes will host their annual big Global Fundraiser at the school. It begins at 7pm and runs through until the next morning. This year, students are targeting funds to a province in India to assist with improving health care through the “Free the Children” fund. Over 300 students from the school (along with their lion mascot) will be ‘locked in’ overnight, participating in many activities and learning about the cause for which they are raising money. This annual event at Yale has raised thousands of dollars for various charities around the world. If anyone would like to get involved with this event please call Doug Primrose at the school at 604.853.0778.

BC Games benefitted ex-national team karate star Dhillon, and now his students are competing Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Quizzed as to what he remembers about his first trip to the BC Winter Games, Shaun Dhillon can’t help but chuckle.

Back in 2002, Dhillon was a fresh-faced 16-year-old karate athlete who headed up to Williams Lake to compete in his first major event. He failed to medal, but went on to a terrific career with the Canadian national team which saw him win four national titles and a bronze medal at the 2011 Pan American Games.

“When you’re going to the BC Games, it seems like nothing’s bigger,” Dhillon said with a smile. “It’s like the Olympics.

“I remember the fun in the team environment, the opening ceremonies, the vibe you get when you walk in there. You think you’re a big deal. You’ve got to have accreditation, you get to stay with your

GYMNASTS GOING FOR GOLD There’s also a lot of excitement over at Twisters Gymnastics Club, where eight gymnasts have made the cut for the Zone 3 team.

Tamara Skulstad, Ella Palmer and Brienna Gaspar will compete on the girls side, while Kristofer Unipan, Wyatt Lavers, Francois Barnard, Brogan Neufeld and DJ Tarbaj qualified on the boys side.

Shallon Heinzig, a member of the Twisters women’s coaching staff, was thrilled that Skulstad, Palmer and Gaspar all made the team.

“Since they were little, all three of them have always competed against each other and competed together,” she said.

“They’re kind of a threesome in the gym – they train together every day, and it was nice that all three of them made it.

They all work very hard.”

Gymnastics is an individual sport, but Palmer noted that there’s a spirit of co-operation with

“We’ve done it before, and it’s a full-on battle,” Simi said. “But we don’t care who wins.”

“We train together all the time – we’re partners in crime,” Sachreet added.

Dhillon’s club also produced a gold medalist at the recent Canadian championships at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Josh Dhillon, a Grade 8 student at Rick Hansen Secondary, won the under-52 weight class in the age 14-15 boys division, beating athletes from Quebec, Nova Scotia, Ontario and B.C. en route to the title.

Dhillon, like his coach (also no relation), is a BC Games alum – he won a pair of bronze medals in Vernon in 2012.

“After all that hard work, it finally paid off, and it felt awesome being No. 1 in Canada,” he said.

Twisters Gymnastics female teammates Tamara Skulstad, Ella Palmer and Brienna Gaspar have qualified for the BC Winter Games.

Abbotsford rugby stars shine in Vegas Abbotsford rugby athletes were front and centre in Las Vegas last week, helping provincial and national sevens teams excel at a major tournament.

Q The B.C. under-18 women’s squad emerged victorious at the Las Vegas High School Invitational Sevens, with key contributions from Bateman T-Wolves teammates Lauren Kerr (team cap-

tain) and Sophia Belsher, and Nakisa Levale of the Abby Senior Panthers. The provincial team lost just one match in the tourney, falling 32-10 to American invitational side Atlantis during pool play, but battled their way to the final where they exacted a measure of revenge with a 32-10 win over Atlantis.

Q B.C.’s U18 boys contingent fea-

tured three locals – Noah Jensen and Gavin Rowell of Bateman, and Jason Hignell of Yale Secondary.

The players were divided into two teams, BC-Gold and BC-Blue, and the Gold team battled its way the final of the high school elite division, where they dropped a 19-14 decision to the U.S. high school all-Americans. The Blue team finished 2-2 in the round robin and

ended up losing in the Plate consolation final.

Q The B.C. U17 team, featuring Yale’s Noah Bain, made it to the semifinals of the high school open division, but were eliminated with a 17-12 loss to the eventual division champs from Utah.

Q Bateman grad Justin Douglas, a member of the Canadian senior national men’s sevens squad,

helped Team Canada to a thirdplace result in Vegas, the program’s best-ever finish at an IRB World Series event.

Canada lost 26-7 to New Zealand in the semifinals, and fell behind Samoa 19-0 in the bronze medal game. But the team staged an epic rally, scoring 22 unanswered points en route to victory. Douglas started both games.

PacWest teams play at home

Book signing for Myriam Arthur memoirs at House of James It has now been more than a quarter of a century since AIDS was presented around the world as an epidemic outbreak, and even now it is a major cause for concern. The stigma, the hopelessness and despair are just as prevalent as ever.

For Arthur, it began in the summer of 1985, when her son John Paul returned home after completing his studies at the University of Southern California, and confided to his mother that he believed he had been infected with HIV.

Tradex upgrades will save city $130,000 a year Recent upgrades at the Tradex will save the city of Abbotsford $130,000 annually.

The work – which included recycling, rainwater harvesting and a lighting retrofit (relamping and occupancy sensors to ensure lights are off when not needed) – was part of the city’s strategic energy management plan. The im-

provements were made available through BC Hydro’s Power Smart Partner program, which provides customers access to energy management programs, tools and incentives.

Customers consuming more than four gigawatts a year (enough to power more than 360 B.C. homes for a year) qualify to join the program.

At the time, very little medical information was known about HIV/AIDS, and virtually none in Bolivia.

Blaming herself for the tragedy, Arthur embarked on a journey into an unknown world that would redefine her life.

Forgiven presents in a sincere and honest manner the dangers of what a person can be driven to when trag-

edy strikes, and explores the heartbreaks, as well as the family’s lighter moments.

Arthur will host a

Artist’s show examines connection between art and music Local artist and educator John Fultz will have a number of his works on display at the Kariton Art Gallery Feb. 7 to March 4.

The Colour of Song is an exploration of the relationships between music and art, colour and sound. A variety of works in acrylic mixed media and painting play with ideas inspired by song and melody to develop images that express chromesthesia, the sense of visualizing sound. The exhibit ties this connection together between art and music, featuring paintings inspired by music, and music inspired by art.

VAN NIEUWENHOVEN, Joannes Leonardus April 20, 1930 - Jan. 27, 2014 Leo passed away peacefully at Christine Morrison Hospice on Monday, January 27, 2014.

He was predeceased by his daughter Mary-Ann and brother Harry. He is survived by his wife of almost 60 years, Ann; daughter Ria (Ted); son-in-law Milton (Laurel); 8 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren, 2 brothers, 3 sisters as well as many extended family members and cherished friends.

Leo was born in Nederweert, Limburg, Netherlands and immigrated to Canada in 1954.

Ann soon followed and they were married on September 18, 1954 in Salmon Arm, BC. They moved to Aldergrove in 1961 and in 1967 they rented their first farm in Matsqui. After 3 years, they purchased their own farm in Sumas Prairie where they farmed until 1981.

He then “semi-retired” to a broiler farm on Tolmie Rd. until 1990. Leo loved to travel around in the motorhome and enjoyed bus trips to the USA & Eastern Canada. He also spent a lot of time reading, puzzling and biking around the Sumas Prairie and loved working outside in the gardens.

Leo’s greatest joy were his children and grandchildren.

Special thanks to the staff at Christine Morrison Hospice, his “private nurse” Linda Stewart and Dr. Donald Scamen for all the care and support we received.

Prayers Vigil will be held on Wednesday Feb 5th at 7:00pm and a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday Feb 6th at 11:00am.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN 9850-25-2014

WE’RE LOOKING FOR CARRIERS TO DELIVER THE ABBOTSFORD NEWS & THE MISSION RECORD

The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) is renewing its approval under the Integrated Pest Management Act for activities, including the use of pesticides, involved in its Nuisance Mosquito Control Program. These activities are conducted under the guidance of a Pest Management Plan (PMP), which is being developed by the FVRD for the 20142019 mosquito seasons.

ABBOTSFORD Route

005280 Fairview, Greer, Hawthorne, Highview, Keats, Kirk

The majority of nuisance mosquitoes in the FVRD breed along the banks of the Fraser River and its tributaries where seasonal flooding and seepage results in substantial mosquito breeding habitat particularly in years of high river levels. Standing waters within the FVRD that are prone to seasonal flooding will be treated between May – July using bacterial larvicides with the active ingredients Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) or Bacillus sphaericus (Bsph).

Both Bti (trade names Aquabac 200G, Vectobac 200G, or Vectobac 1200L) and Bsph (trade name Vectolex CG) are registered for use in Canada, are target specific to nuisance mosquito larvae, are non-toxic, and are environmentally safe.

These proposed pesticides will be applied by either hand or by helicopter to mosquito larvae development sites on nonprivate lands or on owner-approved private lands throughout the FVRD. A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the PMP, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the address below within 30 days of the publication of this notice. Also, within 30 days, a person wishing to review the application or provide comments, may do so by contacting the person below.
