Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

A three-hour all-candidates meeting on Wednesday focused on police and fire services, transportation, and waste and recycling, giving members of the public another chance to listen to some of the 30 candidates seeking seats on council.

Only one candidate, Ward Draper, was absent from the meeting at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, which was sponsored by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board and the Fraser Valley Indo-Canadian Business Association.

Each candidate was given a minute to respond to each of the three questions.

The evening started with a question on Abbotsford’s police and fire services, which accounts for about 25 per cent of the city’s budget. The question stated that over the last several municipal budgets, funding for those and staffing levels has not matched the growth in the community, or kept pace with inflation.

Candidates were asked about their specific goals for police and fire in regards to funding and staffing levels.

Ross Siemens said the city must work in partnership with other organizations, such as schools, on gang prevention.

He suggested the possibility of

precinct policing.

He said the city must take a serious look at abuse in overtime pay. He added that the court system must be utilized better and “not waste police officers time being tied up in courts.”

Paul Redekopp praised Abbotsford police and said the city should also be encouraging citizen patrols and Neighbourhood Watch so police can do their work.

Aird Flavelle said that compared to neighbouring comm u n i t i e s , A b b o t s f o r d ’s funding and staffing levels are appropriate. He said the cost of public safety is impacted by downloading from the provincial government. He maintained that only 30 per cent of police work is directed towards criminal code offences, with the rest related to social crime issues.

“We are using our policemen as frontline social workers.

That’s not our job, that’s not the job of city property taxes.”

He added that the majority of fire calls are not for fires, but for medical problems.

Raji Butter said council needs to listen to the needs of police and fire services.

She said if their evaluations

suggest the organizations need more police or firefighters to keep the community safe, then “we should provide them with their needs, as long as it is reasonable.”

Candidates were asked about the city’s transportation master plan, what aspects are a priority and what steps the city should take to fund and implement them.

Raymond Kobes said councillors making decisions on public transit are not often the ones taking the bus and people using transit need to be contacted for their ideas.

Brenda Falk said there are no easy transit solutions in a large geographic community like Abbotsford, but said as younger workers flock to urban cores and don’t want long commutes, the city needs to create infill development and build along transit routes.

The issue of congestion on the two-lane Fraser Highway was raised by Rick Barkwell, who said the issue needs to be a priority for the city.

Dan Bue said the city can do something different with bike lanes, and should look at European models such as two-lane bike lanes with curbs, or using one side of

sidewalks for pedestrians and the other side for bikes.

The issue of smaller buses and buses that run on liquified natural gas and other fuels was raised, but incumbent Dave Loewen said BC Transit makes decisions on which communities receives which buses and the city has lobbied for other vehicles.

David Sahlstrom said transit is ineffective and inefficient and needs to be looked at. He said the city needs to improve its walkability through the way it develops.

He added that some transportation problems are a result of poor development decisions, which haven’t looked at how people get to and from developments.

Candidates were also given eight questions to answer in advance, covering their position on balancing the fiscal, economic, environmental and social needs of Abbotsford, the contracting of public services, slate politics, user-pay models for transportation, the business vote, parking issues and flood preparation. Their answers can be found online at abbotsfordchamber.com.

TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Centre has lost millions of dollars since it opened its doors in 2009.

Can the Abbotsford Centre prosper? City Candidates offer views on financially challenged facility signs new deal

Tyler OLSEN

Abbotsford News

Five years ago, when what was then called the Abbotsford Sports and Entertainment Centre first opened its doors to the public, there were projections that the $55-million state-of-the-art facility would make upwards of $200,000 a year.

Instead, the arena has lost millions of dollars, not to mention its original anchor tenant, the American Hockey League’s Abbotsford Heat. With no sign that the facility will make money anytime soon, council and mayoral candidates have differing views on what, if anything, can be done to improve the Abbotsford Centre’s balance sheet.

On Thursday, the city announced a new contract with the arena’s operator Global Spectrum (see right). The city says the new contract will save taxpayers $300,000 a year and give it more control over the centre’s operation.

The arena’s deficit for 2013 was estimated at $2.3 million. That wasn’t an anomaly. The facility lost $1.97 million in 2012, $2.83 million in 2011, and $2.6 million in 2010. Those numbers do not include millions of dollars of payments to the now-departed Heat, which had a supply fee agreement with the city guaranteeing the team a break-even budget.

With a new contract in place, Global Spectrum projects an annual city-funded subsidy for the facility of $1.64 million. Meanwhile, efforts continue to land a major tenant for the building.

Neither mayoral candidate is optimistic about the chances that the Abbotsford Centre will one day make the city money.

“It’s possible, but it would be very difficult,” said incumbent Mayor Bruce Banman. Such a scenario depends on many factors, he said, most crucially the success of a new major tenant.

Banman said he “inherited this mess,” but that he was proud of the city’s efforts on the file.

“We have worked very hard to improve the cards we were dealt, and I think the citizens of this city should feel much better now that we have in place a contract that gives us more guarantees and powers than we had previously,” he said. He added that Global Spectrum wasn’t required to renegotiate the deal.

Banman also cited more community use of the facility and the success of various entertainment

acts at the arena as positives.

He said it is important for the city to take its time to secure a deal with a new tenant that does not require a subsidy.

Banman’s challenger for the mayor’s chair, Coun.

Henry Braun, said he had been advocating for a new Global Spectrum deal since he got on council three years ago.

Braun said the first time he learned that the city had inked a new agreement was when The News contacted him for comment.

“I’m disappointed that council hasn’t received a release,” he said, adding that the city had some leverage to renegotiate its contract.

“I’m pleased that we’re finally there. It’s just too bad it took three years,” he said.

Making the business profitable, though, might not be possible.

I know it doesn’t pay the bills, but at least it’s being used in a positive way.

Tina Stewart

“Arenas don’t make money, generally, anywhere in North America. That’s a well-known fact. “ He said a $1-million annual loss may be the best taxpayers can hope for once a new tenant is found.

Braun and Banman have both said the deal to cut ties with the Heat was the right move, despite the $5.5-million buyout cost. Both are also skeptical of any calls to sell the facility.

Braun said the city would likely take a heavy loss.

Banman took a similar position, saying “I’m not sure that that’s necessarily a wise move,” although he said the city should examine any offer that is made.

Some council candidates have also spoken out on the issue. Securing a new tenant is widely acknowledged as a necessity, but there are differing ideas on what else needs to be done to manage the arena.

The AbbotsfordFirst slate say more profitable events need to be booked for the arena. Ross Siemens, one of five council candidates on the slate, said the city should look at appointing a community

board to manage the facility, using TRADEX, which is managed by the Tourism Abbotsford Society, as an example. (He spoke prior to the city’s announcement of the new contract).

Siemens also said the operators should look at better partnering with the University of the Fraser Valley. Selling the arena for a reasonable price is unlikely to be easy, he said.

Tina Stewart said the arena must remain accessible to community sports teams and groups.

“I know that it doesn’t pay the bills, but at least it’s being used in a positive way.”

Asked about selling the facility, Stewart said “I think we’ve invested too much in it and with proper management of the building I think we could actually make the building work and make it selfsustaining.”

Stewart and Siemens both said cancelling the contract with the Heat was the right move, and that the city would have lost even more if the team had remained here.

The arena was also labelled one of the city’s biggest fiscal challenges by several candidates in response to a Chamber of Commerce questionnaire.

Dan Bue, Raji Buttar, Gerda Peachey, and Raymond Kobes all stressed the importance of bringing a new money-making tenant to the facility.

Kobes said the city may need to be cautious, “knowing that waiting another year may save us exponentially in the long run.”

Peachey said that if the city cannot find a tenant “good for the public purse,” then it should sell the facility.

Many candidates cited city debt as an issue, pointing particularly to money spent on Plan A, which included the Abbotsford Centre, The Reach Gallery and improvements to the Abbotsford Recreation Centre.

Incumbent Coun. Bill MacGregor positively cited the “long-term reduction in the financial commitment to the Abbotsford Centre.”

On his website, Rick Barkwell called the arena “the elephant in the room,” and added his voice to calls for a new money-making tenant.

The City of Abbotsford announced Thursday that it had signed a new contract with Global Spectrum, which operates the Abbotsford Centre.

The deal, which will take the place of the two parties’ previous 10-year agreement, will run until June 30, 2019.

The city says it will save Abbotsford more than $300,000 per year by reducing Global Spectrum’s management fee and decreasing the projected subsidy required through new financial efficiencies.

It will also allow the city to cancel the agreement, with a oneyear notice, if Global Spectrum fails to meet its budget.

The city will also have the right to veto any events booked for the centre that will not make money or which it deems inappropriate.

Aboriginal business booming, delegates say Untapped opportunities now getting a second look Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

Bruce Russell (right) and Mike Watson (left) of Four Corners Tribal Business Corporation speak to Corpus Management Group’s Bert Paul (centre) at Wednesday’s TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News Sto:lo Business Match conference.

There has never been a better time to invest in aboriginal businesses and communities, according to many of the participants at this week’s Sto:lo Business Match conference in Abbotsford.

The conference, held Tuesday and Wednesday at the Ramada Plaza Abbotsford Hotel and Conference Centre, brought together organizations and businesses operating on Sto:lo territory for meetings and networking opportunities.

Bruce Russell, the president of Gulf Pacific Group, a property company that has been working with First Nations for half a century, said more and more

companies are seeing that British Columbia’s First Nations are a great place to do business. “Opportunities have been so untapped,� he said. “It took a long time for a lot of non-First Nation real estate development companies to realize the benefits and the rewards of working with First Nations.�

But that, Russell said, is changing and is reflected in the Business Match conference. “The non-First Nations world have now seen how bright those developments can be.�

In 15 years, Eagle Bay Financial Services coowner Nick Calla says the aboriginal landscaped has changed both internally and in its dealings with the non-aboriginal world. “Years ago, First

Nations were almost overlooked, driven by on the highway, and now people have seen the value in actually stopping to talk to them about business,� said Calla, whose company provides employee benefits and retirement planning for around half of the province’s First Nations.�

Financial institutions have also been taken notice. Royal Bank, TD Canada Trust, BMO and VanCity all sent delegates to the conference.

VanCity announced $1 million in new financing for Sto:lo Community Futures’ (SCF) Sto:lo Community Loan Fund, which supports community-owned businesses.

BMO also announced it was doubling its funding commitment to

$200,000 for its microlending program that partners with Sto:lo Community Futures.

The program provides loans up to $10,000 for small First Nation business startups on Sto:lo territory.

Organizer Mike Watson said the presence of the banks and their commitments are a sign of the growth of the aboriginal business sector. “That’s a reflection of what they’ve identified as great lending opportunities in the aboriginal world,� he said.

Candace Dennis, director of aboriginal banking in British Columbia for BMO, said the Abbotsford business match conference is just one of several similar events that take place around the province.

She said they help make it easier to meet with businessmen and women in the nearly 200 First Nations spread out around B.C. “This was a great opportunity for us to be involved and network and help a lot of business entrepreneurs,� she said. “I do a lot of travelling and sometimes I’m landing in places and have a two-hour drive out and a two-hour drive back. “This way, they’re all coming in to you in one location.�

At the conference, delegates used an online tool to set up focused, 20-minute appointments with the aim of developing business relationships. The short meetings focus conversation, Dennis said. “We kind of liken this to speed dating,� she said, “because you get to see if you want to get together for your next appointment.

For the Record In a story Wednesday on a petition opposing the Valley Road Dignity Village, the News reported the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association provided a grant of $10,000 for the project.

The contribution was actually made to the Abbotsford Dignitarian Society to support the homeless.

Deportation order protested

Tyler OLSEN

Abbotsford News

More than a dozen people lined Clearbrook Road Wednesday afternoon outside Abbotsford MP Ed Fast’s office to protest a deportation order handed to a mother and her two children.

The mother (the News isn’t disclosing her name) said she fled to Canada four years ago with her two sons to escape the father of her youngest child, whom they say is abusive.

The family’s refugee claim has since been turned down after the Canadian government deemed that the family “would not be subject to risk of persecution, danger of torture, risk to life or risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment” if they returned to their home country.

The mother says she is afraid for her son’s well-being if the family returns to Hungary. She also says she is likely to go to jail for taking her son from his father.

The mother works at Sevenoaks shopping centre, and many of those waving signs Wednesday were coworkers.

Sevenoaks general manager Wendy Schultz said the family has flourished in Canada, with the boys attending local schools and the mother employed and self-sufficient.

“Canada can’t send them back to an abusive environment,” Schultz said. “Based on the rejection of their application, where [Citizenship and Immigration Canada] stated they didn’t feel that they were at risk … given the information that [the mother] has provided, this is not true.”

The mother’s oldest son, who was at Wednesday’s demonstration, said the family was pleased to receive such support.

“It’s awesome,” he said. “I feel glad that they care about us.”

The mother, though, remained frightened about the prospect of

QUESTION

WebTalk

OF THE WEEK Have you or will you attend an all-candidates meeting for this civic election?

Conflict question

It’s obviously a conflict of interest to have your mayor be the father of a high-ranking bureaucrat.

Gary Sanderson

So is the issue that CMG is not confident that Mr.Braun is voting for their project so they must look to other issues? If they were confident he was voting for them would this have come up?

Heidi Fricker Knull

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

The family members that have positions came first.

When Mr. Braun is elected and the actions that happen after are in conflict then maybe this “discussion” would make sense. Mr. Braun did a wise thing by consulting legal advice.

Rxx Hiebert

In the wake of the Ottawa terrorist attack, do you feel less safe in this community?

Conflict of interest rules for Abbotsford need to be reviewed ASAP to ensure proper protocols are in place because currently it gives the impression that we have none and the city would be open to a suit if there was/ has been a conflict.

A difficult birth for LNG cash cow Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views Debate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre.

Most media reported that the government “slashed” its proposed seven-percent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia.

The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production.

All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Albertastyle “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles.

The seven per cent figure was the top

end of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. Japan, one of the potential investors, is considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima earthquake.

China’s manic growth is slowing, and it has signed a longterm deal to import cheaper Russian pipeline gas. Oil prices have dropped.

The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s only current export market.

“Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,”

the speech observed. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.”

So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding. You may recall it was a U.S. hurricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread an extra billion to calm its labour waters for the 2010 Olympics.

The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export operation would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant.

There are 18 currently proposed.

This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas.

The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fact of B.C.’s only current export market.

The biggest source of revenue from this hoped-for plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year.

University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate.

“If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post.

If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut.

The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share.

for provincially funded supportive housing and spraying manure on a homeless camp. The City of Abbotsford is hardly rolling out the welcome mat and “inviting them into our community” with these actions.

Homelessness is a complicated health, social, economic and political issue.

Providing neccessities of life, such as food, water and clothing to citizens of our community does not “enable” homelessness and to suggest so shows a lack of understanding of the

interconnection of issues central to homelessness. This argument places the blame of poverty, social exclusion and lack of resources onto individual citizens, and removes responsibility from government policies and systems to respond to these issues.

I invite (letter-writer) Vereena to educate herself about some of the issues and challenges these individuals may be managing on a daily basis. The Social Determinants of Health: The Canadian Facts (http://www.thecanadianfacts.org) is an excel-

lent resource for beginning to understand how social, economic and political policies shape the lives of everyday Canadian citizens and our access to resources.

It is easier to moralize the issues of poverty and homelessness by suggesting these are personal choices made by individuals who “do not want to follow the rules.” This argument does an injustice to our community as a whole and narrows the lens required to develop and implement lasting policies for change.

Jorrie Alary, Mission

Councillors following like blind mice?

Last February, council in a tie vote defeated a proposal to build a low-barrier supportive housing project across from the Abbotsford Community Services Headquarters on Montrose Ave in Abbotsford. The land would be donated by the ACS organization.

Now, eight months later, council proposes to build the same housing project on Gladys Avenue, only a good stone’s throw away from the first proposed sight. The main difference this

time is that the parcels of land, valued at $1.6 million, is to be donated at the taxpayers’ expenditure. But does anyone care?

I cannot help but wonder, are some councillors following like “blind mice” perhaps? Do they think at al?

One bright light on the horizon comes is the fact that there are council elections coming up very soon now.

Parody election sites spring up Both mayoral candidates targeted As the Nov. 15 municipal election draws closer, parodies of mayoral candidates’ online profiles have sprung up.

There are two candidates seeking election, incumbent Bruce Banman and current city councillor Henry Braun.

Banman’s official campaign website is found at brucebanman.com, but a site mocking the mayor was created

at brucebanman.ca with the slogan “Bruce Banman for Chiropractor.”

Braun uses the social media site Twitter under the handle @HenryBraun2014. An account called @VoteHenryBrown tweeted at Braun saying “I hope there’s confusion on the ballot on Nov 15.” There is no candidate named Henry Brown.

Gallery 7 Theatre presents its production of William Golding’s classic Lord of the Flies, starting Friday, Nov. 7.

The production, which opens Gallery 7’s 2014/2015 Refined by Fire season, has been adapted for the stage by Nigel Williams and runs at the Abbotsford Arts Centre, 2329 Crescent Way. In the midst of nuclear war, an airplane carrying English school boys crashes on a deserted island.

Forced to fend for themselves, the survivors attempt to scrape together a civilized society governed by simple rules and regulations.

Afflicted by fear of an evil beast lurking on the island, and as the lust for power and control takes over, the cadre’s fragile paradise quickly disintegrates into savage and

Police offer Halloween safety tips The Abbotsford Police Department is gearing up for what is expected to be a busy Halloween on Friday.

Additional officers will be deployed to cope with the increased call load, to monitor the roads and to keep “trick-or-treaters” safe, according to police. Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service and Abbotsford bylaw enforcement officers will also be out monitoring the Halloween activities.

Police are also reminding the public that the City of Abbotsford prohibits the sale, trade, possession or discharge of fireworks unless authorized by permit. Fireworks-related calls result in police resources being diverted from valuable investigative and proactive work, police say.

Trick-or-treaters and other revellers have a few things they can do to improve safety on Halloween, according to police.

Parents should accompany young children, and plan a route for older, unaccompanied children. Trickor-treaters should travel in groups, carry flashlights or glow sticks and wear costumes that are easily visible and allow unrestricted movement and vision. They should attend only well-lit homes and accept treats only at the door and all treats should be examined by a guardian or parent before they are consumed by children.

Pedestrians should use the sidewalks and be aware of cars and be respectful of people and their property Drivers should be mindful of pedestrians and travel slowly in residential areas Those attending parties should plan for a safe way home, while party hosts should assist guests to execute those plans.

A 24-year-old Abbotsford man was handed a $1,500 fine and banned for driving for six months in Abbotsford Provincial Court Wednesday in connection with the 2013 car crash that killed his close friend.

The court heard that Raghubeer (Gagan) Singh Sidhu, 20, died in the arms of Maninderjit Brar shortly after the Acura Brar was driving left Townline Road, hit a culvert and flipped several times in the early morning hours of Aug. 6, 2013.

Brar had originally faced four charges in connection to the crime, including criminal negligence causing bodily harm. On Wednesday, after pleading guilty to the lesser charge of driving without due care and attention, he stood before the court and said he would like to apologize to Sidhu’s family, who were not present.

Four people were in

the car when it crashed.

Sidhu was ejected from the vehicle and sustained fatal blunt for injuries. While police had previously stated that Sidhu died in hospital, and that the three other occupants had asked an area resident to take the injured man to hospital instead of calling an ambulance, the court heard that Sidhu died at the scene of the crash.

The other occupants of the car were not seriously injured After the crash, the surviving occupants of the car did not initially identify the driver. There were also “indications that all occupants of the vehicle had consumed some alcohol,� according to Crown Counsel Ross McLeod.

Only later was it determined that Brar had been driving, but by that time, police could not pursue a drinking and driving investigation, the court heard.

McLeod said the surviving passengers said they had seen Brar drink-

Brar was driving his passengers northbound on Townline, en route to dropping one off in Mission, when the car drifted off the right side of the road and proceeded to flip. The crash happened shortly after a series of curves, and the speed limit was 30 km/h.

Investigators later calculated the post-impact speed of the car was between 70 and 92 km/h.

the posted limit, Crown said the driving wasn’t “necessarily dangerous,” as the road was straight.

Still, the speed the vehicle was travelling at was an aggravating factor and should be taken into account when deciding upon a sentence, McLeod argued.

The Crown asked for a fine and a ninemonth driving prohibition. Brar’s lawyer, David Silverman, said a fine was appropriate but asked for a shorter, or no, ban on driving.

Silverman said his client expressed deep remorse for the crash.

School enrolment holds steady The Abbotsford school district’s projected enrolment decline reversed itself, according to a final count submitted to the Ministry of Education.

The district had projected a decrease of 120 students, which would have resulted in the loss

of four full-time-equivalent teaching positions.

But the final count showed a total enrolment across the district of 18,625 students, eight more than had been projected and three more than had enrolled in the district last year.

The district said much of the increase came from secondary schools.

School district spokesperson Dave Stephen had suggested the projected drop was the result of parents trying alternate education following the strike.

Club XC Championships Mortimer and MacGregor lead Royals More than 500 runners gathered at Abbotsford’s Clearbrook Park Saturday to take part in the BC Cross Country Championships, which are held annually for athletes participating at the club and professional levels.

Valley Royal athletes won two medals at Saturday’s competition.

Rachel Mortimer was the gold medallist in the 13-year-old girl’s division. Mortimer, the Lafarge Grand Prix winner, cruised over the 3-km course in 10:51 to place well in front of Ocean Athletic runner Hannah Milic who placed second (11:08).

Lockhart MacGregor struggled a bit during runs in the first part of this season, but he was in good form Saturday as he battled it out with Naniamo’s Jayden Watson.

After exchanging the lead several times during the 2-km run, Watson was able to pull ahead in the last 600 metres to win the race in a time of 8:00.33. MacGregor crossed the finish line in 8:02.64, just over two seconds off the pace of the winner.

North Vancouver’s Chris Winter had little trouble repeating as senior men’s champion by covering the rain soaked 10-km course in 30:22.58 to pocket the $500 first place prize. Oliver Collin (UVic) placed second (30:34) with Trinity Western’s Joel Deschiffart in third (30:51).

The senior women’s first place prize ($500) was taken by Trinity

SCHOOL DISTRICT

NEWS District on AP Honour Roll For the third consecutive year Abbotsford School District has placed on the College Board’s Annual Advance Placement District Honor Roll. This is a list of 477 districts across the U.S. and Canada (only 12 in Canada) that are honoured for increasing access to AP course work while simultaneously maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP Exams.

Reaching this goal indicates that these districts are successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit from rigorous AP course work. The AP is a program that was created by the College Board in the US, offering college-level curriculum and examinations to high school students. AP courses are offered at Rick Hansen Secondary, Yale Secondary, and Abbotsford Traditional Secondary schools.

Starfish Pack Program m Continues to Grow The Blessings in a Backpack program has been renamed for the current school year, and is now w called the Starfish Pack program..

It has expanded from the original al pilot project at one school to 12 elementary schools now serving 184 students and their families.

In coming weeks it is anticipated it will grow to 14 schools with 216 backpacks. The program, supported and co-ordinated by the Abbotsford Rotary Club, began two years ago to help feed kids who might be going hungry on the weekends.

Every Friday, participating students receive a backpack filled with two breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners to last them for the weekend.

The empty packs are then returned and refilled for the following week by volunteers who shop for the items, fill the backpacks and deliver them to the schools. The Board of Education extends a sincere thanks to the Abbotsford Rotary Club and the local businesses, organizations, churches and individuals who have donated their time and funds to the Starfish Pack program. It makes a significant difference in the lives of these students.

Sandy Hill students and staff thank Cooper Foods for donating the grocery bags, Lilydale Poultry for donating the turkey for the draw, and BC Turkey Association for providing prizes for the students – and the mascot in the photo. It was a wonderful learning experience for the students.

Take Our Kids to Work Day Wednesday, November 5th is the annual Take Our Kids to Work Day in Abbotsford and across the country! Last year, almost 1,000 Abbotsford School District grade 9 students participated in the program by tagging along with parents, friends, relatives and volunteers to their workplace. The

Students, family members and friends – over 80 volunteers in all – turned out recently to help transform the front garden and play area at Alexander Elementary School. Over $12,300 worth of materials from local businesses were received to create the new interactive and fun nature space.

The area is designed for low maintenance, while allowing students to interact with the natural environment in a friendlier and more inclusive way.

On behalf of the staff and students at Alexander Elementary, the Board extends a big thanks to all community members involved in helping make this project happen!

Schmidt scores two, gets one

We Want Your Ride!!

From A28

playing at BC Place this year. As always, she had a loyal cohort of hometown friends and family out to cheer on the 26-year-old professional soccer star.

“The support over the years has been tremendous,” said Schmidt in reference to her Abby fans. “It’s just so humbling and reassuring to know they have my back ... they’re great and I love them. They’ve been there along the way and [when I score] it’s partly them scoring with me.”

If that’s so, then the support must have been something special on Tuesday as Schmidt provided all the offensive production for her team in a 3-2 loss to the Japanese side.

Schmidt put a shot on target in the 56th minute that resulted in the first Canadian tally in more than 150 minutes of play against Team Japan.

Unfortunately, the ball connected with defender Mizuho Sakaguchi’s head before the back of the net, meaning the Japanese player stole Schmidt’s thunder with her first ‘own goal’ of the series.

Schmidt got revenge in the 90th minute when, once again down by a goal, she pounced on a rebound from teammate Jesse Belanger and banged it home.

The location seems to suit Abby’s golden girl, who has scored all three of the goals the women’s national team have managed at BC Place during their two exhibition games this year.

On Tuesday, Schmidt was by far the most dynamic Canadian player on the pitch, and her accelerating offensive production hints at good things to come as Canada gets ready to host the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015.

First meet of first season for UFV wrestling team Jasmit Phulka and Devin Purewal led the charge with gold medals in a solid debut for the University of the Fraser Valley wrestling team at the Dinos Invitational, hosted by the University of Calgary on Saturday.

In the varsity program’s first-ever official Canada West competition, the Cascades finished with 23 points in the aggregate men’s team standings, which left them in fourth place, just one point back of the podium.

The Winnipeg Wesmen (51 points), Alberta Golden Bears (44) and Regina Cougars (24) comprised the top three.

UFV co-coaches Raj Virdi and Arjan

Bhullar started the program last year, and are now entering their first season of competition as the only CIS wrestling team in BC. Virdi said his squad was “a little sluggish� for their exhibition matches on Friday, but came prepared for the matches that counted on Saturday. “The second day we really showed up,� said Virdi, “I think everybody wrestled really, really well.�

Phulka was dominant in the 82-kilogram weight class – he surrendered just one point over the course of his three victories,

beating Wade Elliott of the Dinos in the final. “I expect him to be one of the best wrestlers in the CIS, regardless of who he faces,�

Virdi said of Phulka. “I expect him to crush his opponents, and he did.�

Purewal, a 2014 grad of Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary, capped his run to the 72 kg crown with an 18-8 win over Grayson Manning of Calgary’s Roc wrestling club in the final. “I was really proud of Devin – he pushed through a couple of hard matches,� Virdi said. “Being an 18-year-old, coming in and

A31

having that much success, it’s pretty good.�

Rohit Thandi (fifth, 57 kg) and Jaskarn Ranu (sixth, 76 kg) also placed for UFV on the men’s side, with Ranu battling through illness to win his first-round match before being forced to withdraw.

In addition, several wrestlers from the Cascades wrestling club – athletes who aren’t currently eligible for CIS competition and thus don’t count towards team points – won individual medals. Manheet Kalhon won gold at 120 kg, Brad Hildenbrant took silver at 100 kg, and Amrit Benning (68 kg) claimed bronze.

ABBOTSFORD’S ACTIVE ADULTS A local monthly guide to events, resources and services for active adults

November 2014

Jack Robertson has been living in Abbotsford since 1954, and has been involved with a long list of people and organization over the years.

60 years of community involvement Community leader Jack Robertson began his career in Abbotsford working at the Clayburn Industries Machine Shop and has lived exclusively in Abbotsford since 1954 - a 60-year commitment to the community.

He says because of this, he has seen many changes and he cherishes the good memories, the lifelong friends and the kindness of his neighbors. However, Robertson has noticed that the “friendliness” of the city has diminished.

“Results of growth are not always good,” he says.

As a leader within Abbotsford, Robertson boasts a long list of

community involvements, initiatives and accomplishments, and has touched almost every corner of the community spanning as far back as the 60s.

His list of involvements with different people and organizations was becoming too long to recite by memory, so he created a “community profile” to keep track of his past and present endeavors.

Some of the accolades on that list include serving as founding president of the Abbotsford Track Club where he helped raise funds to build the first eight-lane regulation running track in Abbotsford, completed in the late 1960’s

at Abbotsford Senior Secondary.

His 30-year career in athletics eventually expanded to other key leadership roles for sports organizations.

He received his first award in 1978 for “Outstanding Service to Abby Senior Sports,” and the list continued to grow from there.

More recently, he was inducted into the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame in 2007, and received the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002 and then the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2013.

“I think you have to treat people with respect in order to earn their respect,” says Robertson on

the attributes of a good leader.

“You have to be fair but firm, expect everyone to pull their weight and encourage them to do better.”

From discovering a newfound passion for woodworking, to staying involved with the community he cares for, retirement hasn’t slowed Robertson down one bit.

For him, the secret to a happy life isn’t much of a secret at all.

“Be happy with what you have; have a good sense of humour; love where you live; love your children; love your friends; love your job; love doing things for others and be passionate about everything you do.

Natural ways to ease arthritis pain A leading cause of disability in the Canada and elsewhere, arthritis can be a debilitating disease. Pain and stiffness are the leading symptoms, and millions of people seek relief from arthritis every year.

Contrary to popular belief, arthritis is not a disease of old age. The Arthritis Foundation says one in every five adults has arthritis, two-thirds of whom are under the age of 65. In a 2008 Canadian Community Health Study, 15.3 percent of Canadians aged 12 or older reported a diagnosis of arthritis. Even children can suffer from arthritis.

A complex family of musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis consists of more than 100 different diseases that destroy joints, bones, muscles, cartilage, and other connective tissues. This can compromise physical movement and lead to pain. Arthritis may result from the wearing down of joints and connective tissue through repetitive movement or injury, but it also may be the result of an autoimmune disease. Rheumatoid arthritis, for example, is caused by the body’s own immune system attacking the membranes around joints, particularly in the hands and feet.

Treating a complex condition like arthritis is not always easy. Treatment of arthritis, which has no cure, typically involves reducing pain and improving mo-

though it may hurt to move around, frequent exercise can actually be beneficial in the long run. Low-impact exercises like walking, swimming and cycling three times a week can help to keep joint pain at bay. Always consult with a doctor before beginning an exercise regimen to find out if it is right for your condition.

Once you get the green light, start out gradually. If you are experiencing pain for more than an hour after a workout, your workout was too much for your body to handle and you need to lighten the load during your next workout.

Q Lose weight. Being overweight can put added pressure on joints and cause more pain. Shedding a few pounds may be all it takes to get substantial relief from pain associated with arthritis.

Q Corticosteroids. Also known as steroids or glucocorticoids, corticosteroids fight inflammation that causes pain. Corticosteroids mimic the naturally produced hormone cortisol, which helps regulate the immune system to fight inflammation. These prescription drugs are taken orally as pills, absorbed through the skin as topical agents, or injected directly into inflamed joints.

Many natural therapies can effectively alleviate arthritis pain. Talk to a doctor if your symptoms are affecting your quality of life.

bility. While pain medications can be prescribed to treat arthritis, there are other more natural ways to handle arthritis as well.

Q Eat foods that reduce inflammation. Arthritis causes inflammation in the joints and connective tissues, so it makes sense that reducing inflammation could ease symptoms. A number of foods, including tart cherries, have been found to reduce inflammation. According to research, tart cherries have the highest anti-inflammatory content of any food. The antioxidant compounds called anthocyanins in tart cherries have been specifically linked to high antioxidant capacity and reduced inflammation at levels comparable to some well-known pain medications. Spinach, walnuts, garlic, and broccoli also can reduce inflammation.

Q Use hot and cold treatments. Experimenting with hot and cold treatments can reduce swelling, relax muscles and relieve pain. Cold packs can numb sore areas and should be used when symptoms come on suddenly. Heat sources, in contrast, can help ease pain gradually and limber up tight joints and muscles. Always use a towel or barrier between a cold or hot pack and the skin to avoid injury.

Q Exercise a few times per week. Al-

There are a number of reasons why a caregiver can’t attend a support group, including the difficulty of getting to the meeting, the pressing need to provide 24/7 care to a loved one or the legitimate need to NOT want to hear what is around the next corner for their loved one who is already suffering.

For those who can attend a support group for caregivers, they will find that there are many treasures to be found in their group.

Among them are:

tragic diagnosis of multiple sclerosis at age 63 and the struggle for my family to make care decisions with and for dad. I shared how I live with the fear that his diagnosis will be my future as well.

I left the caregivers support group with a warm feeling of connectedness and an affirmation that friendships were being forged that evening. CS Lewis knew what he was talking about when he said, “Friendship is

Opportunities to express the intense emotions of caregiving There are so many aspects to caregiving.

There is the deep affection and commitment that a caregiver has for their loved one.

Alongside that affection is the incredible frustration and anger about the disease.

Managing money after 50 Investors know that money management can be difficult. The ebb and flow of the economy can be similar to a roller coaster, with soaring highs followed by steep drops, and those changes all affect investors’ bottom lines. It’s no wonder then that many investors over 50 envision the day when they can get off that roller coaster and simply enjoy their money without having to worry about the everyday ups and downs of the market. But managing money after 50 is about more than just reducing risk.

Reducing risk as retirement draws near is a sound financial strategy that can safeguard men and women over 50 from the fluctuations of the market That’s true whether investors put their money in stocks, real estate or other areas that were not immune to the ups and downs of the economy. But there are additional steps men and women can take after they turn 50 to ensure their golden years are as enjoyable and financially sound as possible.

Q Prioritize saving for retirement. Men and women over 50 know that retirement is right around the corner. Despite that, many people over 50 still have not prioritized saving for retirement. It’s understandable that other obligations, be it paying kids’ college tuition or offering financial assistance to aging parents, may seem more immediate, but men and women over 50 should recognize that their time to save for retirement is rapidly dwindling. Just because you are retired does not mean your bills will magically disappear. In fact, some of those bills, such as the cost of medical care, are likely to increase.

So now is the time to make retirement a priority if you have not already done so. It might be nice

An electric luxury car designed to avert range anxiety

by Zack Spencer

It is often lamented that many of the concept cars at the international auto shows never see the light of day as production vehicles.

Well, the Cadillac ELR looks every bit like a futuristic concept and it is available today. This car is something to see, especially in person, with sweeping lines and aggressive front lights, like a spaceship. In fact it won the 2013 Eyes on Design Award at the North American International Auto Show, an award judged by all of the heads of design from each

automaker in attendance… that’s some judging panel.

At first glance it has more than a passing resemblance to the Cadillac CTS Coupe but underneath is a very different platform.

Looks This is essentially the Chevrolet Volt electric car, morphed into a Cadillac, with two fewer doors. Taking what Cadillac learned

from the CTS coupe and transplanting that look onto an electric car has made the ELR a high-end electric alternative, to say a Tesla. The two-door design has hidden electronic door handles that release by touching a pad inside the recessed door handle. Not to worry, there is a redundant mechanical mechanism. The 20-inch wheels have specially

road that it will not be the last of my ever expanding must-do-before-I-die list!

On Saturday, November 1, I head to Chicago for a route briefing and meeting with Gary Fleshman, who has driven the route more than 100 times. I am one of 14 journalists from across Canada participating in the drive staged by Nissan Canada to launch the 2015 versions of the Altima sedan and Rogue sport ute.

Interestingly, a few people plan to do only half of the journey . . . seems to me that’s like climbing half way up Everest!

The daily trek will range between 450 and 600 kilometres, getting us to California by the evening of Saturday, November 9.

We’ll pass through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

Along the way, we will visit many locations and attractions made famous through Hollywood and many a TV documentary, not to mention dozens of life-on-the-road books. Personally, I’m looking forward to spotting the roadside ghost towns that inspired the Cars movies. Who said they’re just for kids? And in New Mexico and Arizona my eyes will be scanning for locations featured in the Breaking Bad TV series.

We’re camping under the stars in the Grand Canyon.

is neither of us will spoil another couple, well at least for four days.

I’m currently watching as many episodes of the 1960s’ era Route 66 TV series as I can and digesting every story about music inspired by the highway. Of course, I’m making a compilation tape, I mean picking a playlist for my generic MP3 player.

I will be sharing my adventures with Driveway readers during and after the trip. Blogging begins on drivewaybc.ca this coming weekend and a full report will appear in print and online in late November.

Off to get my kicks on Route 66. Adios . . . for now. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Sheesh! The last time I was under canvas was about 25 years ago when I accompanied my son Niall to his Beaver camp. An overnight stay at the El Travatore Motel, in Bullhead City, AZ, where we pick a theme room, quickly follows that chill night. Elvis Presley or Marilyn Monroe? Wonder if this drive was on their bucket list.

The organizers suggested we swap partners part way across before fights break out.

My drive buddy for four days will be Toronto Star scribe Mark Richardson.

Second prize was eight days with my fellow Brit. Truth

tric or nothing. The ELR, just like the Volt it is based on, is plugged in and charged, usually overnight. It takes more than 12-hours on a typical 120V plug to get the job done or about five hours on a more powerful 240V system. Once charged, the car runs on electricity for about 65 km before the gasoline extender kicks in to allow the driver to run up to 480km, or longer, if the car is refueled. The 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and the electric motor puts out 295 lb.-ft of torque to the front wheels, similar power to the Cadillac 3.6-litre gasoline engine used in other products. The paddle shifters behind the steering wheel do that. The driver can use these in combina-

something Tesla has fallen short on. On the flipside, Tesla has a huge available electric range without the aid of a gasoline engine.

So the market for the ELR is limited. If you are in the market for a two door futuristic ready to drive concept car, this one is very well executed. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

tion with the regular brake to modulate driving. It takes practice but is kind of fun.

Verdict Here is the part that is hard to swallow, the price.

The ELR starts at $78,250 – a lot of money for any car. This is a very limited market, a two-door sporty looking Cadillac that is also electric. If they made this into a sexy 4-door, the ELR would have more takers.

As it stands, Telsa seems to have that market cornered for sexy and expensive electric cars. What the Cadillac has over the Tesla is a world-class interior,

Swarn was born near Lahore, in the part of the Punjab that is now in Pakistan. After marrying, she accompanied her husband to many parts of the world on his professional wrestling tours. She lived in various Indian cities and also travelled to Burma, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and east Africa. Her first child, Kharak, was born in 1938 and her second child, Rajinder, in 1947. The family immigrated to Britain in 1952 and lived mostly in northern England around Newcastle. Moving on to British Columbia in 1958, the family resided in Masachi Lake, Lake Cowichan, Port Alberni and eventually settled in Abbotsford. Swarn was a true pioneer who lived in BC when there was not many other Punjabi families. She forged close bonds with old time families that she maintained until the end. She worked hard all of her long life and was especially well known as a great cook of Punjabi curries. She was a gentle and caring women who always had time for friends and neighbours or helping out at the Gurudawara. She was proud to be a Canadian and a devoted Sikh.

Predeceased by her loving husband Palwhan Kartar Singh and her son Kharak Singh, she leaves a daughter, six grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

Robert (Bob) Arthur Rathwell passed away at the age of 69 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital on October 27, 2014.

Bob was born on January 29, 1945 in Dauphin, Manitoba.

He moved with his family after the Second World War to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan where he started elementary school and then moved to Swift Current, Saskatchewan where he finished his education.

Bob always liked the ranching lifestyle and entered Washington State University graduating with a degree in animal sciences. He started a long career in the cattle industry in 1970 in Abbotsford, BC working for Coppertone Farms.

Bob thoroughly enjoyed helping Spud and Jean Huestis operate a Champion purebred Polled Hereford operation.

In 1974 Bob moved to Alberta to start his own purebred operation but returned in 1979 to carry on with cattle and subsequent hog operations.

Bob looked forward to sharing his knowledge and skill with many farms in the area and especially enjoyed assisting 4-H Clubs. He was well liked in the area with many contacts in the Canadian Hereford and Canadian Cattlemen’s Associations. The love and support from Patrick and Karen Huestis did much to enable Bob to enjoy a full life.

RUSK Eileen Alice 1922 ~ 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our wonderful Mother. Eileen Alice Rusk passed away on October 22, 2014 at Bevan Lodge in Abbotsford, BC at the age of 92.

She was predeceased by her husband, Lyle Rusk in 1983 and is survived by her four children, Lynda (Joe), Don (Lori), Jeri (John) and Alison (Peter). She leaves a legacy of 8 grandchildren: Vanna, David, Angela, Tracy, Erin, Kristen, Courtney & Mackenzie as well as 16 great-grandchildren.

Eileen was born in Saskatoon, SK on August 25, 1922. She and Lyle lived in Toronto, Saskatoon and Victoria. They owned and operated a family business, Rusk’s Grocery Store, in Victoria for many years. Eileen later worked at Victoria Cablevision until her retirement when she moved to Abbotsford to be near her two daughters and their families.

Family meant everything to her and she thrived on their love and times spent together.

Our Mom was the most special lady with a warm, giving heart and a sense of humour that lifted and sustained those around her. Her greatest sense of pride were her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Her walls were papered with an abundance of family pictures. She provided a wonderful example of how to live a life filled with love, humour, encouragement, kindness, forgiveness and dignity.

The family would like to thank the kind and compassionate care-givers at BEVAN LODGE for their wonderful care of our Mother during the past 9 years. You made her life more comfortable in so many ways.

There will be no formal funeral service. A small family memorial to celebrate her life will take place at a later date.

SUTTON SCHAFER Betty It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our Mom, Betty Joyce Schafer who peacefully went to sleep on Thursday, October 23, 2014 after suffering a stroke on Sunday, October 19, 2014 at Glenwood Manor in Agassiz, BC. Mom was born in Sarnia, Ontario on November 22, 1926. Mom was predeceased by her youngest son, Bobby in 1980 and her loving and devoted husband John Schafer, who passed away six months ago. They were not meant to be apart.

Mom will be lovingly missed by sons, Michael (Linda), David (Jane) and daughters Cathy (Les), Liz (Andy) as well as grandchildren Kris, Kyle, Jamie and Callie and greatgrandchildren Nathan, Brooklyn and Mila. Mom was the epitome of selflessness and forever fretted about the wellbeing of family and friends.

She loved working in the schools as a secretary and maintained lifelong friends from those days. She prided herself on keeping her home in pristine condition and always made sure she was ‘put together’ before any outings.

Mom was a classy lady who was happiest when surrounded by family. We can’t begin to describe the void left by such a warm, loving soul. Her beautiful smile and twinkling eyes, never to be forgotten. Mom will be forever missed and always in our hearts. No service by request. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society or Heart & Stroke Foundation.
