$63-million courthouse proposed

One of two Valley projects considered ‘high priority’

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Recommendations released this week as part of a 20-year court expansion plan in the Fraser Valley suggest a new 14-courtroom courthouse be constructed in Abbotsford by 2018.

The courthouse should include five B.C. Supreme Court courtrooms and nine provincial ones, according to the recommendation.

The report, prepared by representatives from five Valley municipalities, indicates that the current site at 32203 South Fraser Way in west Abbotsford can accommodate a larger facility if required. The site is part of a large parcel of land that also includes city hall, the Abbotsford Police Department, a fire hall, Clearbrook Library and The Reach Gallery Museum.

Abbotsford’s courthouse has faced some of the longest delays in the province for two-day trials, as well as the longest waits for child protection hearings, due to a shortage of courtrooms, according to a provincial government report last fall on court congestion.

The estimated cost of demolishing the current facility and constructing a new one is $63.7 million ($62.5 million for the new building, $900,000 for parking/landscaping, and $300,000 to demolish the current facility when the new one is complete).

Abbotsford currently has only a provincial courthouse, but the plan states that it has “serious deficiencies and it will be difficult to maintain safe and effective operations” there beyond 2018.

The report states that problems with the current courthouse include overcrowding, insufficient meeting space, poor acoustics in some courtrooms, not enough judge’s chambers, and technical deficiencies such as asbestos and vermin infestation.

The suggestion is part of the final report of the Lower Fraser Continued on A4

Patient Testimonial

Prior to being a patient with Dr’s Surdhar and Lui, I’d have described myself as an “apprehensive” patient. The one that wishes the upcoming circled date on the calendar was past.

After a few procedures with the dentists at Bridgeview Dental I can happily say that I no longer dread the upcoming appointments and look forward to seeing the friendly dental team and having my dental work done. Even a recent extraction and implant that followed was without discomfort. I feel confident in the treatment they provide me knowing they keep up with what’s new in the dental field with their continuing education and study club participation.

tracted by glancing at her purse just before the collision.

MacDonald said more of those messages will continue this year, in combination with other initiatives, including some “new and challenging ways” that police will address traffic issues.

He said these could include methods of enforcement that people might not anticipate.

MacDonald said, much like the focus the APD put on reducing gang violence in previous years, road safety will take ongoing discussions, enforcement and community engagement for significant results to set in.

“A lot of people like to shrug it (bad driving) off … They almost think it’s par for the course.”

Plan goes to government for funding From A1

Serving Mission and the Fraser Valley Dr. Chung Lui Dr. Gurpreet Surdhar

The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) will be looking at some “out of the box” initiatives this year as it makes road safety its top priority for 2014, according to spokesman Const. Ian MacDonald.

He said the department is tackling this issue as its top focus for the second consecutive year because although the number of fatal collisions was down in 2013 from the previous year, the number of injury crashes stayed about the same.

“As a police department and as a community, we need to do more,” he said.

There were nine vehicle-related fatalities in 2012 and four in 2013. The number of crashes resulting in injuries was 504 and 517 respectively.

MacDonald said 100 people have died on Abbotsford roads in the last decade, prompting the release this week of a poster and video designed to get people thinking about their driving behaviours.

Valley Regional Plan: Court Capacity Expansion Project, developed by five municipalities – Abbotsford, Surrey, Chilliwack, the City of Langley and the Township of Langley.

Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman applauded the recommendations in the report.

“The long-term expansion plan will address the increasing need for access to court services in our region and will ultimately benefit all Lower Fraser Valley communities,” he said.

In April 2013, the B.C. government signed a memorandum of understanding with the five municipalities.

On behalf of the consortium, Abbotsford was granted $600,000 to fund the development of the 20-year plan.

The courthouse plan for Abbotsford is one of two projects that have been listed as “high priority” to be completed by 2018.

The other is to expand Surrey provincial court by five courtrooms and update the facility’s technological infrastructure at an estimated cost of $26.2 million.

Long-term projects also recommended to be considered for

funding approval and to be completed in phases until 2033 are: – a new five-courtroom provincial courthouse in Langley ($21.2 million); – further expansion of Surrey’s courthouse by three provincial courtrooms ($8.7 million); and – expansion of Chilliwack’s courthouse by two provincial courtrooms ($8.2 million).

Provincial court deals with most criminal cases, as well as family, small claims, civil and traffic cases.

The plan states that the Lower Fraser Valley requires 32 such courtrooms, but currently has only 22, including five in Abbotsford.

Supreme court hears serious adult criminal, civil and family cases, and these matters are currently held only in Chilliwack, New Westminster and Vancouver.

Demand for these cases is largest in Surrey, followed by Abbotsford, Langley and Chilliwack, according to the report.

The plan will now be presented to the government for future capital funding approval.

Small business exemption in new recycling program Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

Submitted

Abbtosford business owner Thelma Henderson (second from left) and Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce executive director Allan Asaph are flanked by environment minister Mary Polak (left) and minister of state for small business Naomi Yamamoto. Asaph and Henderson were in Vancouver for the announcement of an amendment to the MMBC regulations. nesses in the province will be captured by the regulation, out of more than 385,000.

“This exemption correctly balances environmental goals with business needs,” Asaph said.

Many municipalities have also expressed concerns about the program, which gave cities the option to commit to a contract to be a collector for MMBC, let the agency contract out blue box pickup to other collectors, or keep their current recycling services without compensation from MMBC. Operating as a collector would mean the city would have to meet MMBC’s recycling standards, which would end curbside collection of recyclables like glass, film plastic and beverage containers, a service Abbotsford currently offers.

Allowing MMBC to contract out

Abbotsford’s recycling pick-up would mean the city would no longer have control over the service – or the ability to address community complaints.

Opting out of the program entirely means consumers may have to pay for the recycling of PPP materials twice – first, in the cost of the product, which producers will build into the price, and again for the city’s recycling program.

Originally expected to make a decision by last September, MMBC extended the deadline for cities to make a decision.

City of Abbotsford staff have been in contact with MMBC and believe it is not likely the city would participate in the program until 2015 at the earliest. Council will decide in the future on the details and timing of any participation in the program.

‘Huge relief’ says chamber executive director Small businesses will catch a break in a new provincial recycling program that has raised numerous concerns for both businesses and municipalities.

The government has amended the MultiMaterial B.C. (MMBC) regulations so that it will impact fewer than one per cent of B.C.’s businesses.

“This is a huge relief to our local business community,” said Allan Asaph, executive director of the Abbotsford Chamber.

“This change exempts the majority of our local businesses, including all of our ‘mom and pop’ shops, from new costs and red tape.”

The Abbotsford Chamber has had concerns about the program since it was announced, and along with the BC Chamber of Commerce has pushed the government for changes to reduce the impact on small business.

MMBC is an industry stewardship group made up of major retailers and producers which is set to take responsibility for collecting and recycling packaging and printed paper (PPP) by May. It requires businesses to register as stewards in the producer-pay system, meaning they would take on reporting duties and costs of supporting the system – a prospect that generated concerns for many small businesses.

On Tuesday, the government announced that it will exempt any B.C. business that has an annual revenue of less than $1 million, produces less than one tonne of packaging and printed paper produced annually, or has a single point of retail sale (and not supplied by or operated as part of a franchise, chain or under a banner).

That means that fewer than 3,000 busi-

Department (APD) said the charges were the result of “proactive work” by a local investigator, who was searching online for images of child sexual abuse.

He was able to trace the IP address of certain images to a residence in Abbotsford, and a search warrant was executed at that home on Dec. 6.

Felling was inside when po-

lice arrived, MacDonald said.

He said APD major crime investigators gathered evidence that Felling had sexually interfered with a youth, and he was arrested. He was charged the following day with sexual interference of a youth under the age of 16.

The other charges were laid in early January.

APD investigators are now

asking for anyone with information about the investigation to come forward. They also want to determine if there are any other incidents that should be investigated, MacDonald said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Rash of Canada Post mailbox vandalism

Half of the incidents of theft and damage in Canada occurs in Lower Mainland Jason ROESSLE Abbotsford News

Half of Canada’s mail theft and community mailbox (CMB) vandalism takes place in the Lower Mainland, according to Canada Post, and Abbotsford has had its recent

share.

By the end of January, there were nine CMBs awaiting repair in Abbotsford due to a recent uptick in damage, said Anick Losier, Canada Post (CP) spokeswoman, and they have now all been

The city will work with an animal advocacy group to consider ways to more humanely deal with beavers causing problems in local waterways.

Lesley Fox of the Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals made a presentation to council on Monday, expressing the organization’s hope for the end of city-endorsed trapping.

The city does not perform its own trapping, but has in the past hired people to do

the work.

Jim Gordon, the city’s general manager of engineering, said the city does everything it can to protect waterways while avoiding killing beavers, and “trapping is only a last resort.”

Fox said that although the province regulates trapping, municipalities can create bylaws limiting the types of traps used, which require provincial approval.

The association previously renewed its calls for reform in Abbotsford last March, after a coyote was found in a leg-hold

trap in a wooded area of Beaton Road.

The animal, whose leg had been severely mangled and was infected, was later euthanized.

Fox said her group is offering to provide free assistance to help the city stop using traps, including putting up cage-like barriers around drainage canals and culverts to stop beavers from blocking them.

Council encouraged the association to work with city staff to evaluate their proposals and consider possible implementation.

Reports of scammers phoning businesses claiming to be collecting for Yellow Pages advertising have cropped up again in B.C., and there are simple steps to take to protect yourself.

Mark Fernandes, spokesman for the Better Business Bureau in B.C., said scammers claiming to be collecting for Yellow Pages is a chronic problem, with complaints about it coming in almost every month.

It’s a variation on an old trick, sending fake invoices for common business supplies such as printer cartridges and paper in hopes of sliding them by a busy office administrator.

In one incident, an office worker received a phone call from Yellow Pages, followed by a document stamped “Not a Bill.” He signed the form, thinking it was confirmation of a real Yellow Pages free address listing, and later discovered it was a contract involving an invoice for $1,100 for each of two consecutive years. Interest charges of up to $50 per week have been levied by the firm since the bunko bill was issued.

Yellow Pages Group

This fraud protection guide for businesses shows authentic Yellow Pages logos and copycat versions used on fake invoices.

Fernandes said businesses are also concerned about bad credit reports from missed invoices.

“Unfortunately, a lot of these companies that claim the Yellow Pages brand are not located in North America,” he said. Some appeared to be coming from the United Kingdom, but the BBB is unable to confirm their real location.

Yellow Pages Group spokesperson Fiona Story said the company is a frequent target for this kind of fraud be-

cause of its long-standing brand. It sponsors an annual fraud awareness campaign in March, and offers downloadable pamphlets and other resources on its website, www. yellowpages360solution.ca/ resources/fraud/.

QUESTION

WebTalk

Teacher passes

OF THE WEEK Do you agree with the B.C. government’s decision to appeal the teachers’ contract court decision?

I am proud to say that both of my children attended Terry Fox and had the opportunity to meet Julie Loland.

The staff, students and parents have always gone the extra mile. RIP Julie, you were a very special teacher who made a difference in so many children’s lives!

Sheri Leonard

To answer, go to abbynews.com

Having been lucky enough to work with her at Terry Fox for 10 years. She will be loved and remembered always. An amazing teacher, a wonderful colleague, and most of all, a loving mom to her boys, and a wife to the man we all know she adored. I know we will all strive to be half of the woman you were...

Jan McRitchie Hume

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

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

So uplifting and then so terribly sad. What a wonderful tribute this was! Just crying now and thinking what a wonderful teacher/human being she must have been.

Wasn’t expecting the ending. Rest in peace and my wishes to all her family and all her friends/students at school.

B.C. Views There are two reasons why the B.C. government must appeal the latest court ruling that damns its conduct, assesses damages of $2 million plus lawyer bills and appears to hand the B.C. Teachers’ Federation the keys to the treasury.

The first is practical politics. The legislature reopens Feb. 11, ironically right after Family Day. An appeal will give rookie Education Minister Peter Fassbender the cover he will need during the daily 30 minutes of sniper fire that is Question Period.

Rise. “It’s before the courts, Madam Speaker.” Sit. Even the trigger-happy Premier Christy Clark will be staying in her trench, after the bleeding wound she received from Justice Susan Griffin last week.

The second reason is practical economics. The 2014 budget has gone to press.

Government lawyers told the court that

retroactively returning to 2001 classroom rules could cost $500 million, an estimate Griffin dismissed as “speculative.”

It could include compensation to retired teachers for earnings they gave up. This retroactive lump would be on top of the ongoing costs, running to hundreds of millions more as 60 school districts try to reassemble the world of 2002.

This union victory began when the Supreme Court of Canada invented a constitutional right to collective bargaining in 2007, based on “freedom of association” in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The BCTF is piggy-backing on that landmark decision, in favour of the Hospital Employees’ Union, after Gordon Campbell ran roughshod over their sweetheart contract from the Glen Clark years. That one was settled for $85 million, including retroactive payments.

In case there are parents and taxpayers who still believe that all would be calm

had the NDP won the 2013 election, allow me to put that to rest.

NDP leader Adrian Dix took to his Facebook page a couple of days after last week’s ruling, joining calls for an apology from Clark. That would be for what Justice Griffin characterized as deliberately provoking a strike to build public support for the latest of a long line of settlements imposed on teachers.

Within minutes, Dix received this caustic response from Tara Ehrcke, president of the Greater Victoria teachers’ union.

“But where was the NDP during the election campaign?”

Ehrcke asked Dix. “You committed a measly $100 million – a third of what it will take to restore class sizes and less than the [NDP] platform in 2009, and only pocket change more than the Liberals’ Learning Improvement Fund of $75 million.”

Note the mindset of this prominent member of the radical fringe that controls the BCTF. “A measly $100 million.” An extra $25 million? “Pocket change.” This is

No government can let its union control their own payroll, just as no private company can.

the same union boss who demanded that hundreds of teachers be hired this week, so reorganizing current classes in the middle of the school year to make them smaller by one or two students.

Parents and students would endure yet another major disruption of the public school system.

And who needs an increase in rural ambulance service or drug and alcohol treatment for street kids. Let’s get those teacher-librarians back in schools, and slightly reduce class sizes to offset declining enrolment!

No government, B.C. Liberal, NDP or Green Party, can let its unions control their own payroll, just as no private company can. That goes double for this union, which had its own obvious role in provoking an illegal strike in 2012. It made outrageous benefit demands and cancelled extra-curriculars for months before it even specified its wage demand.

Bargaining, if you can call it that, resumes this week. Both sides need to cease fire.

PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER

letters Realize what has already been lost I enjoyed Mark Rushton’s article, “Preservation requires co-operation” (Jan. 22), in reference to the Y2Y initiative. Indeed it does, and as an overview perspective on conservation in general he was right on.

However, comparing the nomadic herds of the African Serengeti plains with the wildlife of the Canadian Rocky mountains serves to miss the difference in ecology of the regions.

Certain proposed mega projects such as the Site C dam may interfere “only” with local and not large-scale

“north/south wildlife interactions,” but gene migration can be as important as animal migration.

The Peace River, however, already excludes or minimizes movements of most nonavian animals, except for large ungulates and carnivores, and they may still be able to cross, though with increased winter hazards.

However, the biggest ecological issue in the Peace region is that flooding will result in the direct loss, for example, of about 16 per cent of critical winter habitat for moose, 20

pursuing Site C political suicide.

Now, younger voters and politicians see what is there as the new “normal,” so we are talking about losing just certain percentages of what we now have, not realizing by how much it has already been reduced. But is it worth losing this in the name of progress? We need to try to see the large picture over space and time to ensure our activities in habitats and landscapes don’t cause extinction by a thousand extirpations.

per cent for elk, and 45 per cent for deer. Large animals may move elsewhere temporarily, but eventually loss of living area means loss of populations.

When the Bennett Dam flooded Williston Lake 45 years ago, the devastation was mammoth, right to Alberta’s Peace-Athabasca Delta, where many subsistence trappers were put out of business when habitats dried up. When that project happened, most people witnessing the destruction were up to 50 years older than I. The impression it made on those people made

Anything goes when Cities are for people out of the home

We hear that people are big on the environment, but I think they are just pigs.

At home, smokers will use an ash tray, but out of the home it’s anywhere they are.

I walk my dog at McKay Creek dog park.

There are dog waste bags that people could

use, but instead their dogs go in the bushes, along with coffee cups.

There are signs that say use bags for dogs but there are also horses that use the trail, but no one tells them to clean the horse waste.

R. Lee Coughlin Abbotsford

I’m struck by (Chamber of Commerce president) Mr. Welte’s view that Abbotsford’s downtown should be exclusively for businesses.

Maybe that’s what needs to be re-thought. Cities are for people. Right now, “Historic Downtown Abbotsford” verges on traffic congestion in a big strip mall.

This is all beside the fact that the seeming focal point of night life there is the Fraser Valley Inn and the two adjacent liquor/beer stores. Perhaps he wishes for more businesses like those for the area? How about a casino too?

Stephen Keeling Abbotsford

Residents have had enough With the contentious issue of the possible rezoning of the downtown area to accommodate community services, I am surprised that no one has asked residents within 1,000 metres of the proposed property in question as to how we feel we will be impacted.

I believe that marginalized people require help but I also feel (as do my neighbours) that we work hard for what we have and would like to keep the integrity of the downtown core.

The area is saturated with resources for the less fortunate already.

The building that community services propos-

es to build would be better suited away from the downtown core where there are numerous liquor outlets and drug dealers.

There is no substance abuse counselling at the community service location downtown. People would have to travel to west Abbotsford to receive counselling for their addictions.

My street is also a corridor for the infamous “pharmacy” on Busby Street. I think I can speak for the majority, if not all, the residents on Clarke Drive, we have had enough.

Judge rules Alzheimer’s patient must be fed Family fought nursing home over ‘living will’ Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled that an Abbotsford nursing home must continue to feed an Alzheimer’s patient, despite her family’s wishes.

Justice Bruce Greyell presented his decision Monday in Vancouver in the petition brought forward by the daughter and husband of Margaret Bentley.

Katherine Hammond and John Bentley filed the petition against Maplewood Seniors’ Care Society, the Fraser Health Authority and the provincial government.

They presented a written “statement of wishes” completed by Bentley, a former nurse, in 1991 – eight years before the onset of her condition – that she be fed “no nourishment or liquids” if she were in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s.

They stated she continued to stress her wishes when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 1999 at the age of 68.

She was moved into Ebenezer Home in Abbotsford in 2005, and was transferred to Maplewood House in 2009.

According to court documents, Bentley has been in a “vegetative state” since 2010, no longer recognizes family members, has not spoken and makes limited physical movements.

Maplewood staff have been feeding her by

spoon and offering her liquids.

They stated she opens her mouth when a glass or spoon is placed on her lower lip, but also refuses nourishment by keeping her mouth closed.

They argued that denying her food and allowing her to die would constitute neglect and would be a criminal act.

Greyell agreed that Bentley must continue to be fed.

“The finding that Mrs. Bentley is currently capable of making the decision to eat and drink and is communicating her consent through her behaviour means that those providing her with care must continue to offer her assistance with feeding in the form of prompting her with a spoon or glass.”

Greyell also referenced portions of Bentley’s “living will” in which she stated that she “not be kept alive by artificial means or heroic measures.”

He said the most likely interpretation of those words is that Bentley did not want the use of a feeding tube.

“I do not believe many people would consider eating with a spoon or drinking from a glass, even when done with assistance, ‘artificial.’”

Greyell said denying Bentley food or drink would amount to neglect under the Adult Guardianship Act.

The city will soon seek consultation with restaurants, hotels, grocery stores and food producers to implement a compost program.

As the city moves towards instituting composting for the industrial, commercial and institutional sector, the plan will begin with those businesses which produce the most significant portion of the current garbage stream that can be diverted to compostable waste.

Metro Vancouver plans to ban all compostables from the garbage stream by the end of 2015, and the Fraser Valley Regional District is likely to institute a similar ban.

On Jan. 1, 2013, Abbotsford implemented a residential compost program which is predicted to divert 11,000 tonnes of organic waste in the first year.

Abbotsford’s initial non-residential program will focus on the food service and processing sectors, which the city estimates could divert 10,000 tonnes of compost annually if put in place.

The city will consult with other municipalities, the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and food service and process businesses early this year.

City staff will report back to council in June with results of the consultation and discuss the schedule for final decision-making and implementation.

The we d d i n g bells will be ringing a lot louder for an Abbotsford couple after their Set for Life scratch ticket proved a $675,000 winner.

Brad Atkins, 51, was sitting in his car outside a convenience store when he discovered his ticket would set up him and his fiancee, Kathy, for life.

“I thought it was going to be the same scene as many times before,” laughed Atkins. “I had won a free ticket on the previous scratch so this one was a bonus.

When I saw the word ‘CASH,’ I thought, ‘This can’t be happening!’”

The winning ticket was purchased at the 7-11 on McCallum Road in Abbotsford.

“When I called my fiancee to tell her we had won, of course she didn’t believe me.

It was only when she arrived at the 7-11

Submitted

Brad Atkins, with fiancee Kathy, of Abbotsford is a recent winner of the Set for Life scratch-and-win game. and came in with me to see the retailer she started to understand I was telling the truth, although I still can’t quite believe it myself. It’s like a dream I hope I don’t wake up from.”

Atkins began buying Set for Life tickets on a regular basis after a friend of his won the jackpot a few years ago.

“I knew it was pos-

sible,” he said.

The couple weighed their options and chose to take a lump sum of $675,000.

Plans for the prize money include buying a new house and planning their upcoming wedding.

Set for Life is a scratch-and-win game that offers players the chance to win a top prize of $1,000 a week for 25 years.

Event raises funds for Cyrus Centre Cyrus Centre for youth is participating in the national Coldest Night of the Year walk on Saturday, Feb. 22.

The campaign raises funds for homelessness in Canada and is a noncompetitive 2 km, 5 km or 10 km walk/run.

The Abbotsford event takes place at Sevenoaks Alliance Church (2475 Gladwin Rd.), starting at 4 p.m. A hot meal is served after the walk.

Participants form teams of a minimum of three members, with each person raising at least $150 per adult or $75 per youth in pledges. If a participant is unable to raise the minimum amount, they can waive the fundraising requirement for a $25 registration fee.

Last year, more than 200 walkers raised over $30,000 for Cyrus Centre, an Abbotsford resource centre and emergency shelter for at-risk and homeless youth.

You might win a family ski getaway at Big White!

By Kerry Vital, Black Press

L

ife gets busy sometimes and spending time with loved ones can become difficult. Family Day, taking place Feb. 10, is the perfect reason to gather the family and take in some of British Columbia’s best attractions.

Start with Big White Ski Resort, just outside of Kelowna.

“There’s something for everyone here,” says Katie Balkwill, regional sales manager for Big White Ski Resort. “We’re Canada’s largest ski-in ski-out resort. Anywhere you wake up, you’ll be on the slopes, and the quality of our snow is amazing.”

Black Press readers can enter to win a weekend for four (two adults and two children under 18) at Big White Ski Resort, with lift passes and two nights accommodation in a slopeside hotel room. For more information, visit abbynews.com and click on the contests link.

Big White is about more than skiing and snowboarding though. Balkwill also notes that they have an ice-climbing tower, fireworks every Satur-

day night over the huge outdoor skating rink and many other activities for the whole family.

On Feb. 10, BC residents will be able to purchase a single-day lift ticket for 50 per cent off. If you’re looking for a weekend getaway, British Columbians can book any two consecutive nights and two days of skiing, and Big White will give you the third night and third day of skiing at half-price, valid between Feb. 7 and Feb. 13.

The Lower Mainland is home to plenty of family-friendly outdoor spots, including Granville Island, numerous beaches and parks. If it’s indoor fun you’re looking for, attractions such as the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, the Museum of Vancouver, Science World at the Telus World of Science, the Vancouver Aquarium and the Vancouver Art Gallery should all be tops on your list.

Outdoor activities are also plentiful in BC Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is one of Vancouver’s most well-known

attractions, with its famous suspension bridge, Treetops Adventure, Cliffwalk and other places to explore. The North Shore mountains all offer a variety of activities, including skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and tobogganing, or you can go a bit farther afield to visit Whistler Blackcomb.

On BC Family Day, lift tickets at many participating ski areas will be offered to BC residents at 50 per cent off. For more information and the list of participating resorts, visit www. skicanada.org.

BC has more than 850 parks and natural areas to hike in.

Budding equestrians or cowboys might enjoy a trail ride at one of BC’s ranches, whether it’s a weekend trip in BC’s Interior or a day trip just outside of Metro Vancouver.

The Southern and Northern Gulf Islands are just a ferry ride away from the mainland, and can open up a brand-new world of hiking, cycling and other outdoor activities.

Construction is underway on a new $2-million building that will house Abbotsford’s only Hindu temple.

The project began in mid-October adjacent to the current temple operated by the Fraser

Valley Hindu Cultural Society (FVHCS) at 31545 Walmsley Ave. That facility was built 14 years ago, but Ajay Grover, an FVHCS director who is heading the current construction, said it was always intended to be temporary.

At only about 1,500-sq.

ft., the building is woefully inadequate to meet the growing needs of the temple membership.

Grover said FVHCS currently serves about 250 families from Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Aldergrove and Langley.

Grover said the only other Hindu temple in the Lower Mainland is in Surrey, and the next closest one is in Kamloops.

The new two-storey 13,000-sq.ft. facility is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

The top floor will include office space and a large prayer hall that can accommodate big events. The bottom floor will include a kitchen and eating area.

Grover said the new facility will be able to hold community activities such as weddings and other large celebrations, as well as seniors’ programs, language classes, yoga sessions, music lessons and more.

He said the entire community will be welcome.

Mayor Bruce Banman, who was at the site for a few hours on Tuesday to help with construction, said a strong community provides worship opportunities for all its citizens.

Donations of cash, labour and materials are helping the facility take shape on the land owned by FVHCS. To date, $500,000 has been raised toward the $2 million cost.

Anyone who would like to contribute to the project in any way is asked to contact Ajay Grover at 604-832-0999, Darshan Sharma at 604308-5301 or Dharnjit Grover at 604-556-8083.

tent on Wednesday.

Six others are set to play CIS football next year, including four for the UBC Thunderbirds.

Rick Hansen Hurricanes twin brothers Alex and Brandon Ho, Bateman Timberwolves running back Ben Cummings, and Mouat offensive lineman Levi Hua are ticketed for the Point Grey campus.

Brandon Ho was the B.C. AA defensive MVP last season after spearheading a stingy Hansen defence with 66 tackles and nine sacks, and he’ll play on the defensive line at UBC. Alex Ho, who was tops in AA with 2,594 passing yards, joins former Hurricanes star Greg Bowcott on the T-Birds’ quarterback depth chart.

Hua played on both sides of the line for the Hawks, and was an allprovince selection on offence.

Cummings, meanwhile, racked up 1,544 rush yards, the thirdmost in AA. He had NCAA interest from Nevada, Dartmouth and Montana, but elected to sign with UBC. “I love the coaches, and I’m really close to home with my family,” he said. “And I really feel the UBC program is on the rise, and we can win a Vanier Cup soon.”

Two other players are headed east.

Jake Firlotte was Mouat’s top pass-catcher last season – he led the AAA league with 14 receiving touchdowns, to go with 33 receptions for 718 yards.

He’s headed to Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., where he’ll play defensive back, according to Hawks head coach Denis Kelly. The Golden Gaels have had success with recruits from Mouat, with kicker Dan Village and QB/receiver Justin Chapdelaine excelling for them in recent years.

Another elite receiver who will make a full-time transition to defence is Bateman’s Daniel Mills, who is off to Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B. Mills was an Eastern Conference all-star as a receiver, but like Firlotte, he’ll play defensive back at the CIS level.

“Mount Allison is the top undergraduate school in Canada, so that was really attractive,” said Mills, who will major in history. “And they’re one of the top football programs in the nation.”

Sports In Brief

Q Seven male gymnasts from Abbotsford's Twisters Gymnastics, including former Olympian Ken Ikeda, will be competing at the Elite Canada meet in Gatineau, Que. this weekend.

Ikeda leads a senior men's contingent which also includes Zachary Clay, Robert Watson, Steven Chaplin and Jonathan Osers. Cohen Kiers and Dawson Friesen are in the novice men's division.

Elite Canada is the first major event of the year, and results will figure heavily into team selection for major international events, including the Commonwealth Games and Senior Pan American Championships.

Best wishes to our athletes FROM THE OFFICIAL OUTFITTER TO THE CANADIAN OLYMPIC TEAM. THE SOCHI OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES START TODAY.

Gagnon won all of his matches, including a win over former Brazilian national champ Lucas Dantas in the semifinals, before closing out the bracket (sharing the title) with his Alliance Los Angeles teammate Isaac Doederline.

Gagnon, head instructor at Genesis Martial Arts and Fitness, is now ranked No. 1 in the world in the brown belt featherweight division.

His next major event is the IBJJF Pan American Championships in Los Angeles in early March.

A pair of junior-aged teams met in the final of the Sunrise Toyota Abbotsford Men’s Bonspiel, and the rink skipped by Surrey’s Tyler Tardi emerged victorious.

Tardi knocked off Cody Tanaka, whose team won the Abbotsford Thanksgiving Junior Cashspiel in the fall, to claim the A championship. Semifinalists were Tom Connatty of Kamloops and Steve

Decter from Abbotsford.

The spiel drew 20 teams to the Abbotsford Curling Club, and the B final was a clash of local rinks, with Bob Arksey defeating Jim Dorgan. Dan McCaughan of Langley and Ken MacDonald of Abbotsford were the semifinalists.

In the C final, Don Frycz from Delta Thistle and Royal City topped Vancouver’s Lenard Firkus.

UFV men’s golf ranked No. 1 in Canada

Snuggle up to a FREE TV.

Women’s squad is No. 4 The University of the Fraser Valley men’s golf team has been voted No. 1 in the nation by the Golf Coaches Association of Canada.

It’s an awfully impressive accomplishment, considering that the poll encompasses not just teams in the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) where the Cascades typically c o m pete, but also u n i ve r s i t y p r o grams which c o m BERTRAM p e t e against U.S. schools.

The UFV men, who won both the PacWest conference and CCAA titles last fall, accrued 41 points in the national poll, ahead of the University of Western Ontario Mustangs, the Victoria Vikes, the Laval Rouge et Or and the Toronto Varsity Blues.

The Cascades women, who also swept the PacWest and CCAA championships, were No. 4 in the national rankings.

“Even as the reigning Canadian national golf champions, it still came as a bit of a surprise, albeit a pleasant one, to be given the number one ranking alongside many of the larger programs in Canada,” said Cascades head coach Chris Bertram.

“Regardless, it is gratifying to be seen as the best in the nation in the opinion of the other coaches. Now it’s up to us to continue to prove them right.”

Red-hot Heat light up Checkers Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The Harlem Globetrotters play at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre next week, and the Abbotsford Heat offered a preview with a similarly stylish – and dominant – performance vs. the Charlotte Checkers.

The Heat lit up the Carolina Hurricanes’ affiliate 7-1 on Tuesday, and the display of skill was such that Sweet Georgia Brown would have been a fitting soundtrack.

On Wednesday, the Heat extended their win streak to four with a 4-3 triumph over the Checkers. Corban Knight’s goal late in the

CLINT TRAHAN Abbotsford Heat

Heat forward Max Reinhart rifles home one of his team’s seven goals on Tuesday vs. Charlotte. third period was the difference.

The victories boosted the Heat back into first place in the Western Conference at 30-14-4.

“We’ve moved the puck extremely well,” noted Heat head coach Troy Ward, whose squad has racked up 21 goals in

its last four games.

“Most of our goals have been from sharing the puck. We’re focusing on our fundamentals and passing because we’ve had some practice time.”

Goalie Olivier Roy, making his Heat debut, was between the pipes

for both wins. Recalled from the ECHL’s Alaska Aces last week after Joey MacDonald suffered a concussion, he rose to No. 1 on the depth chart when Joni Ortio was summoned by the Calgary Flames. Ortio’s first NHL stint is in relief of injured Flames goalie Karri Ramo.

“He’s been real patient up in Alaska,” Ward said of Roy. “Now he comes down and gets his moment in the sun.”

The Heat host the Texas Stars on Saturday (7 p.m.) and Sunday (4 p.m.) to wrap up an eight-game homestand at the AESC. For more Heat coverage, visit the Heat Central page at abbynews.com

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Honda knows how to make a good, solid car—and for 2014—things just got a little more interesting.

Zack Spencer

Visit the 2014 Honda Civic gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

From rather ordinary to rather extraordinary Tampa, Florida – Being the best at something is an achievement, and doing it repeatedly is impressive.

The Honda Civic’s 16-year streak as the best selling passenger car in Canada is nothing short of astounding. For the introduction the 2014 Civic, Honda chose usually sunny and hot Tampa, to introduce their latest update. It was sunny but anything from hot, with overnight temperatures near freezing.

Honda has been improving the Civic continuously since the 7th generation model was introduced as a 2012 model. Last year, for 2013, they updated the styling, handling and interior of the 2013 model and now for 2014 they are at it again.

Looks The styling focus for 2014 is on the coupe. Roughly 15 per cent of all Civics are sold as a coupe, the most dominant player in the small coupe market. Last year, this sedan received updates to the front and rear styling to help make it look more upscale and sophisticated, and this year the coupe gets a similar update to the front and back, but the changes are meant to provide a sportier look with a bit more aggression.

The most aggressive version of both

the sedan and coupe is the SI model that gets an even more forceful grille and front bumper design plus a rear spoiler and lower air diffuser. Wheel sizes have also changed with the regular coupe receiving 16-inch wheels, up from 15-inches, and the SI now bumps the size from 17-inches to 18-inches.

addition, the front seats are very supportive and the steering wheel is low and small for a racy feel. What is new for both the sedan and this coupe is the introduction of Display Audio system that is available From fuel on the EX and Touring economy to reliability, models. This is a large iPad-like touch-screen resale value, cost design that lets the driver of ownership and access many functions Inside sportiness the 2014 from the radio to apps One of the reasons that Honda Civic is a good that piggyback off your the Civic is the best iPhone. (No Android apps selling car in Canada is choice yet but they are working the practical, yet sporty Zack Spencer on this.) This taps into the interior in both the sedan power of your phone, in and coupe. Many people, the big screen, with full including me, didn’t integration. I liked the speed and funcinitially like the split dash with the tion of the design but really missed a speedometer on the top and the tarotary dial to adjust the volume over a chometer on the bottom, but over time touch screen volume design. Yes, there this design has proven to be a winner. is a volume control on the steering I was wrong.

economy. The small one is the exhaust system has been adjusted in both the sedan and coupe to let the engine breath better, improving horsepower slightly from 140hp to 143hp. The big change is the introduction of an inhouse continuously variable transmission (CVT), replacing the old 5-speed automatic. This actually makes this little car more drivable and might be the best CVT on the market. The car snaps away from a stop and cruises with ease on the highway, with quick changes

in the gear ratio that helps mimic a conventional automatic design.

In addition, there is a sport mode and paddle shifters on the steering wheel to help liven things up. Honda has done a first rate job here and their efforts have been rewarded with a six per cent improvement in city fuel economy and an overall drop from 6.2L/100km combined to 6.0L, something very hard to do with such a small car.

The driving dynamics of the Civic has always been very good due to a fully independent suspension and willing engine. The 143hp is a nice match for this car and the CVT is a great complement. The 5-speed manual is a blast to drive but it could use a 6th gear on the highway, as the high-revving engine can get noisy. The steering is crisp and the car overall instills a high level of confidence.

Verdict Honda admits that their Civic might not be the top choice in every reason to buy a compact car but they are near the top in all categories. From fuel economy to reliability, resale value, cost of ownership and sportiness this car is a good choice.

The many improvements made to the car over the past three-model-years, has taken the Civic from rather ordinary to rather extraordinary.

They know how to make a good, solid, reliable car and for 2014 things just a little bit more interesting.

The Lowdown Power: 1.8L 4-cylinder with 143hp or 2.4L with 205hp Fill-up: 6.7L/5.0L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $15,690-$26,655

Channelling your inner teenager

By Alexandra Straub

Picture this: You’re a teenager with a driver’s licence, your wealthy parents have left you alone for the day and there has just been a huge snowfall.

Turns out, they decided to take the SUV, and the Porsche Carrera 4S is sitting all by its lonesome in the garage.

All your friends are busy so you’ll need to make your own fun today. But how?

The key to this stellar coupe, which generally remains under armoured guard, somehow surfaces. Then you hear a voice calling your name.

You look around and wonder if you’re imagining things or if the milk you drank for breakfast had expired.

You look down and the key fob is speaking to you.

Through its German accent you decipher words like, “traction control off,” “sliding sideways,” “car control,” and the best of all, “you won’t get in trouble.”

Then giddiness overcomes your body. Your eyes widen.

Your smile is uncontrollable.

Before you know it you’re nestled cozily in the heated sport driver’s seat, looking where you want to go and having the time of your life; sliding sideways on a snow and ice track in a $140,000 sports car.

Life is wunderbar. The best

part about this teenage dream is that it’s not a teenage dream.

It’s a reality.

For those wanting to learn car control on a designated ice/snow track, it’s entirely possible thanks to Porsche’s Camp4 training school. The track’s location is less than a couple of hours outside of Montreal, Quebec at Mecaglisse. It’s a playground for the German automaker’s rear-wheel drive 911 Carrera S and Cayman, along with the all-wheel drive 911 Carrera 4S. You’ll have the opportunity to drive all three vehicles in various parts of the facility.

Whether you are learning how to control over and understeer on the oval, or learning how to appropriately kick the back end out by blipping the throttle at the slalom, chances are, you’ll have a grin on your face the whole time.

And if you spin out, you just keep going.

The program commences with a driver’s briefing and drivers are introduced to their instructors. Proper seating position is explained and then it’s time to hit the track.

Exercises are done with two people to each car, and each Porsche is equipped with radios that are linked together. That way, the instructor can talk to you and give you

originated in Finland in 1996 and has since been executed around the world. It’s hard to believe how much you can learn in such a short amount of time.

And how much your face will hurt afterwards! That’s not even because of subzero temperatures.

The cost of Camp4 is $5,195 (plus applicable taxes.)

That includes three nights

accommodation at The Esterel Suites & Spa (a luxury hotel in a nearby area) two full days of driving and all your meals and transfers from the track.

As I said, even if you mess up, you keep going. And no, you won’t get in trouble for having fun. It’s part of the learning experience. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

pointers while they observe what’s going on.

Sometimes you get praise.

Sometimes you get constructive criticism. It’s just part of the process.

Two major points that were stressed in any of the exercises were: look where you want to go not where you are going and the tires can only do one job at a time.

The latter means that if you are trying to brake and turn in tandem, chances are you won’t have the maximum amount of traction, and therefore, you can upset the balance of the car and possibly not execute the manoeuvre you were trying to do.

Even if you do make a mistake, you just dust off the snow and try again.

Second gen Mazda3 was a zoom-zoom hit with Canadians

By Bob McHugh

Mazda3 2010 to 2013 The new generation Mazda3 launched in 2010 was an immediate hit with Canadian compact car buyers.

The car, available as a sedan or five-door hatchback, is a nicely proportioned car with curvy styling lines, more defined front fenders and a distinctive (happy face) front air take.

The zoom-zoom mind-set may not be used in the advertising today but it is still very much alive at Mazda and my enthusiastic assessment following a first drive was that it was the most refined compact car I’ve ever driven.

This generation Mazda3 initially came in three trim levels GX, GS and GT. There’s also a high-performance edition called Mazdaspeed3. A hood scoop, which directs air flow to a turbocharged engine intercooler,

gives the Madaspeed3 a more distinctive frontal appearance.

Regardless of price, trim or potency, core elements of this ‘3’ are its light yet rock-solid body platform, combined with a sport-minded engineering theme. Its lighter and stiffer chassis has more highstrength steel and other enhancements to reduce body flex and combined with suspension changes the result is a tighter and better handling car.

The GX and GS trim levels come with a 148-horsepower 2.0-litre engine that provides a nice balance of power and fuel economy, which is 8.1/5.9 L/100 km (city/highway). The GT comes with a 2.5-litre that can deliver 167 horsepower and it gets 9.2/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway).

Mazda3, which was first launched in 2003, has been consistently one of the best selling cars in Canada and

the Mazdaspeed3 variant typically accounts for less than two per cent of sales.

That certainly makes it a harder car to find on the used car market and while prices generally tend to be premium they also vary considerably depending on condition and history.

This generation Mazdaspeed3 is a more refined high-performer. It offers a more controlled unleashing of power from its turbocharged engine, yet it is still an extremely fast car.

Changes to its driveshafts were designed to reduce torque steer (which still exists) and a torque-sensing limited-slip differential was added to the drivetrain.

Mazda claims a top speed of 250 km/h and zero to100 km/h time of 6.1 seconds.

Engine output (263-horsepower) is the same as the 2009, however it provides a more progressive release of torque that peeks at 3000 rpm and 280 lb-ft of

torque is available. Its fuel consumption rate is also faster at 11.5/8.0 L/100 km (city/highway).

Inside there’s enough room for four, maybe five, adults provided those up front are willing to share leg room.

There’s more cargo room in the hatchback, however, the added security offered by the sedan’s trunk might be preferred and used prices tend to be lower.

The only significant change in 2011 was the inclusion of electronic stability and traction control as standard on all models.

The 2012 model year brought the introduction of Mazda’s “Skyactiv” performance and fuel-saving technologies, offered initially on the mid-range GS trim line. A direct-injected 2.0L engine is mated to either a special 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. It also got a mild exterior and interior restyling job that included

Industry wants renewal of incentive program for clean energy cars While awareness about clean energy vehicles is growing, incentives to buy are still needed according to the industry.

“It’s a marathon not a sprint,” said Blair Qualey, President and CEO of the New Car Dealers Association of BC. “We’ve made some good progress in creating awareness of clean energy vehicles and we’re trying to work with government to keep the (CEV incentive) program going. Last year around the same time we were in the same situation, not knowing what’s going to happen.”

The BC government originally committed $14.3 million to the Clean Energy Vehicle (CEV) Program back in 2011 to support a market transformation to the use of clean energy in the light duty transportation sector.

It tied-in with its goal to reduce BC greenhouse gas emissions by 33 per cent by 2020, and by 80 per cent by 2050 (compared to 2007 emissions). About 36 per cent of BC’s greenhouse gas emissions are estimated to come from the transportation sector.

As long as current funds last and until the program concludes at the end of March, a point-of-sale rebate (up to $5000) is still available with the purchase of an electric vehicle (EV) and there are rebates (up to $500) available for residential “home” charge stations. Funding for public charge stations concluded at the end of March last year. In addition to plug-in electric vehicles, hydrogen

fuel cell vehicles and natural gas vehicles are also included in this incentive program.

BC has certainly embraced the switch to clean energy and probably leads the country in adapting to the EV. Level 2 (240 volt) public charge stations. There are now hundreds and home charge stations are starting to cost less to buy and install as the market expands. There will be more (high-voltage) fast-charge stations joining the three already in operation.

That said, the EV is still a fragile market sector that’s struggling to establish a foothold.

When the CEV program started, according to Qualey, the inventory of EVs available for sale at local auto dealerships was very limited. A few years later the supply situation is much better, competition has certainly increased and prices are even starting to drop with increased production volume. Yet, there’s still a significant price gap between an EV and a comparable gas engine vehicle.

The large spike in the number of buyers who claimed the EV incentive in this past year is a reflection of those changes in the market. The Chevrolet Volt, followed by the Nissan Leaf were (by far) the two most popular vehicle recipients. Interestingly, third most popular EV was the Tesla Model S; Tesla doesn’t currently even have a walk-in-the-door dealership in BC. Most working people commute within the driving range (100km to 150km) of a fully charged EV, which makes them viable and the

cleanest commuter vehicle choice. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) can also currently qualify for a $2,500 instant rebate and is another excellent clean vehicle choice. A PHEV typically has an electric-only driving range of about 20km to 30km and then switches to hybrid extended range operation.

Quebec recently renewed its clean-vehicle incentive program, which offers up to $8,500 off the price of an EV, for another three years.

Ontario also continues to provide a similar program with an up to $8,000 incentive. Some auto manufacturers may have second thoughts about the BC market, if incentives are no longer available, as the support costs involved in offering an EV in a product line are high.

“We’re at the point now where we have all the components necessary to do what everybody had envisioned back in 2010,” added Qualey. “The reason

to have these incentives is to help prime the pump, allow people to look at a new option and help the environment. All the pieces of the puzzle are there and it would be a shame not to put it together, when we have a chance to succeed.”

One-eyes Cars and trucks with only one headlight shining drives many readers crazy.

It may not seem like a big deal to drive with a light out in the city...until you hit a fog bank.

And bear in mind that in pitch black conditions in rural areas a car with a light out looks like a motorcycle from a distance.

And that’s deadly. Drivers judge distance by subconsciously noting how the two beams of an oncoming car widen as it gets nearer.

Bob McHugh For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, I’ve been writing about cars for over 25 years and I’m a long-term member of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). My auto background is mainly in the service side of the industry as I’ve always had a keen interest in knowing how things work. Especially those oily, greasy parts that make the wheels go around.

My first car was an early sixties Triumph Herald Coupe that was traded-in to a dealership where I worked as an apprentice auto mechanic, back in Dublin, Ireland. It spent more time off the road, being repaired, than on the road, during my time as its owner.

A Herald had the same chassis and a similar powertrain as the much nicer looking Triumph Spitfire, which was sold in North America.

At the BC Automobile Association I initially worked as a mobile Vehicle Inspector in the Vehicle Inspection Service. The vehicle was an AMC Gremlin and it was painted to look like a cut-away or skeleton view of the car’s mechanical bits. A small car with a big gas-guzzling engine, a Gremlin was an odd choice of vehicle for that job and the paint job just added to its weirdness, yet I grew to like it.

Currently I enjoy serving on the AJAC Technology Awards panel and have also been involved in the promotion of trade skills training for young people in BC. When time permits, I still like to get my hands dirty and give my son a helping hand with, his pride and joy, a 1966 Ford Thunderbird coupe. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Lighting your way down the road only give you incredible light but they draw so little amperage. This is a real advantage over adding a second alternator or constantly having to jump-start your dead battery. Off-road LED lights come in many different shapes and sizes. This helps with the many different sizes of grille openings or bumper light locations. Rigid Industries are a pioneer in this new off-road light technology. They offer many different kinds of lights. The dually light is a small 3”x 3” cube that has 1300 lumens of light that has the same output as a 50w light while only drawing 15 watts. A pair of these lights cost $219.

E-series lights are LED light bars that come in various lengths. The 4” E-series light is available in a flood or spot pattern that has an amp draw of 1.18 and a life span over 50,000 hours. Cost is $258.

The 6” E-series light is available in a flood, spot, or a

Light emitting diode (LED) lights are slowly taking over the automotive industry.

These lights are made from extremely small semiconductor diodes that are capable of creating bright light. They work very similarly to standard lights but instead of a filament, an LED creates light using nothing but the movement of electricity along the path of its semiconductor. As the electrons stream across the semiconductor, they create electromagnetic radiation. Some forms of this electromagnetic radiation can take the form of light.

LED lights are becoming increasing popular these days on trucks. Gone are the days of putting the highest wattage sealed beam lamps you could find, often referred to as airplane landing lights, on your bumper or roll-bar to light up the night sky to enjoy some extended off-road driving hours. LED lights not

bars that can hold one long light bar or two smaller ones. Make sure the location you choose is not lower than the bumper or your expensive new lights may get knocked off on your first trip out. If you own a Jeep there are mounting brackets available to attach to your windshield pillar or just above the windshield. Rigid now offers curved lights that will fit across the top of the windshield and have mounting brackets for most trucks. Check out the entire line up of lights and brackets available at www.rigidindustries.com. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

For some serious amount of light, there are the 30”, 40” and 50” light bars that have an unbreakable polycarbonate lens and are available in a spot, flood, or a combo. The 50” light bar gives off enough light to reach distances of 1,497 metres. Prices range from $1,099 to $1,759. Finding a place to mount them to your truck can pose a challenge.

Classic trucks in the movies and on TV

Vintage pickups and SUVs are among the hottest things in the collector car world.

Not surprisingly, they are

1973 Ford F-250 from The Blues Brothers movie.

also popular on the big and small screen. Here are five fine examples.

1. 1973 Ford F-250 (“The Blues Brothers”): After stiffing the proprietor of Bob’s Country Bunker on

a huge bar tab, Jake and Elwood Blues take off in the Bluesmobile with “The Good Ole Boys” — the country and western act that they’d impersonated at said bar — in hot

pursuit. Love the shot of two of the angry musicians in costume glaring out of the front windows of the camper shell, just before the truck winds up on its side.

4. 1999 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning (“The Fast and the Furious”): Lead actor Paul Walker drove this very special Ford pickup. Produced by Ford’s Special Vehicles Team, the 1999 Lightning featured a supercharged 5.4-litre V-8 that produced 360 hp. It was used as a parts getter in the first of the Fast and Furious movies.

5. 1973 Ford F-100 (“The Dukes of Hazzard”): Yeah, it’s a shock, there were pickup trucks featured in the “Dukes of Hazzard.”

Uncle Jesse always seemed to have a semi-ratty white Ford pickup. Most of the time it was a ’73 F-100 but in early episodes, he could be seen with a 1968 Ford stepside pickup and in later ones, a late 1970s F-250.

2. 1967 Ford Bronco (“Green Acres”): The muchloved CBS comedy featured a then-new red 1967 Ford Bronco as the official vehicle of scatter-brained county agent Hank Kimball, usually seen driven around Hooterville and the Douglas farm (minus doors and top). For most of its run, “Green Acres” was sponsored by the Ford Motor Company, so the Bronco’s frequent appearances were no surprise.

3. 1972 Chevrolet C-10 (“Dazed and Confused”): The 1993 Richard Linklater high school cult classic that was set in the mid-1970s featured what appeared to be a 1972 Chevy C-10 pickup in Cheyenne trim.

It was driven by paddle-wielding upper-classman Benny O’Donnell (played by Cole Hauser), who freshmen encountered at their peril.

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Carolynne Anne Dunsire (nee Dyck) on January 27th, 2014 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

Carol passed away gently in her sleep after fighting a courageous and dignified battle with cancer during the past three years.

Carol will be remembered by those who knew her as a compassionate and loyal friend, loving and supportive Mother, selfless and tireless co-worker and treasure to her family, a strong woman who led by example and was a pillar of integrity and respect.

Carol was born in Chilliwack BC on August 21st 1946 and resided in the Fraser Valley for most of her life. She was the eldest daughter born to Frank and Mary Dyck and the first of their eight children born outside of Yarrow BC, growing up on the family farm on Fairfield Island where her brother Ed and his family still reside today.

For the last 15 years Carol shared her life with her loving partner Jeremiah, a man of deep character and profound commitment and compassion. Together they enjoyed years of happiness. A union that was founded in mutual admiration, Carol and Jeremiah each possessed qualities that rounded out and balanced the another, resulting in a harmony that, although not typical, created a special closeness between them. In the years after Carol’s diagnosis Jeremiah showed the true measure of his love and commitment accompanying Carol throughout the battery of radiation and chemotherapy treatments and recoveries, always the steady and unwavering rock that Carol could rely on, Jeremiah’s selfless devotion to Carol will never be forgotten and eternally appreciated.

Predeceased by her father Frank, Carol is lovingly remembered by her mother Mary, partner Jeremiah, son Ken (Erin), brothers John (Jacquie), Ed (Lynda), Larry, Gary (Elaine), David (Debbie), Rudy (Shelley) and sister Elsie (Frank). Carol also leaves to mourn 4 grand-children and 18 nieces and nephews as well as many friends.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the wonderful staff at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Center for all their hard work and compassion during this difficult time.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, February 8th, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. at Henderson’s Funeral Home in Chilliwack.

Details of the service and directions can be found at www. hendersonsfunerals.com.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Carol’s memory may be made to BC Children’s Hospital.
