Fraser Health has closed an acupuncture clinic in Abbotsford, saying it does not meet “infection prevention and control standards” and poses a health hazard to clients. An advisory from the health agency is recommending that clients who received acupuncture services at the Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Centre, located at #11 - 2168 McCallum Rd., be tested for HIV and Hepatitis B and C. The centre is owned and operated by Duan (Deborah) Hu. A handwritten note on the door of the clinic on Thursday morning states, “The office is closed due to doctor’s family emergency … Dr. Hu will return ASAP.” Dr. Michelle Murti, Fraser Health’s medical health officer, said the agency was contacted with concerns about improper infection control measures at the site. She said environmental health officers immediately investigated the clinic. Continued on A4

The site is also home to a culturally significant “lightning rock.” Silver said that due to the potentially adverse impacts, they rejected the plan. But a CMG representative at the public hearing said they would not proceed without the consent of the Sumas First Nation. In a CMG new release, Glazema said CMG has had extensive discussions and meetings with First Nations and retained independent archeologists and consultants to find resolutions to the issues. At the council meeting, Coun. Patricia Ross said the archeological significance of the site “is far more significant than we were led to believe.” Ross said she felt they were led to believe the neighbours were on board, but at the public hearing that was not the case. Coun. John Smith said the lack of city services to the site is an

A proposal to move agricultural equipment dealers to east Abbotsford was defeated by council on Monday, with opposed councillors citing the location outside the city’s urban development boundary and lack of support from local First Nations on the culturally significant site as reasons for opposition. But John Glazema, managing director of the proponent Corpus Management Group (CMG), expressed regret at the city’s rejection of the “40-plus million dollar project affecting longterm farm and agricultural equipment dealers in Abbotsford.” The project had support from professors at the University of the Fraser Valley, the Chamber of Commerce, the Fraser Valley Indo-Canadian Business Association and many local farmers. The current locations of some dealers on Sumas Way causes congestion and traffic issues and one local dealer which CMG said had interest in moving to the site, Prairie Coast Equipment, has already left the community. But at a public hearing held on Nov. 3, many neighbouring residents spoke against allowing the project in the rural residential area on 33-acres at the intersection of Atkinson and Eldridge roads. Neighbours had concerns about the potential impact on traffic, the project’s location outside the city’s urban development boundary, the lack of services to the area, and the need to respect sites significant to the Sto:lo First Nation. City staff had also recommended denying the project ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News when it came forward, as the city would be unable to provide John Glazema is concerned by the city’s rejection of a proposal to build an agri-centre in east Abbotsford. industrial-level water supply service, sewer and fire protection.

Clients of the clinic are being alerted by health agency From A1

“Based on the investigation of the centre, we are alerting clients of Ms. Hu that they may be at increased risk of exposure to blood-borne infections that can be transmitted by improper and unsanitary acupuncture techniques.” Murti said proper records were not kept, and it’s difficult to know how many people might have been affected. Clients for whom information is

available will be mailed a letter to alert them of their potential exposure to communicable diseases. The clinic is now under a “closure order,” which will not be lifted until Hu can prove that the proper standards are being followed, Murti said. Hu operated a clinic on Montrose Street from 2001 to 2004, and has been practising from the McCallum Road location since April 1, 2005, according to Fraser Health. Murti said anyone who received acu-

puncture or other treatments involving blood or bodily fluids at the clinic is at risk. They should follow up with their health-care provider and undergo testing, she said. Fraser Health has been working with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturists of B.C. throughout the investigation.

ON SITE New facility will provide more support locally and internationally

Abbotsford News

For shoppers looking for a good deal or an interesting thrift item in Abbotsford, many turn to the MCC Thrift Stores. Yet the Mennonite Central Committee does a great deal more than find new homes for used things – it focuses on relief, development and peace around the world. A new complex stands on Gladys Avenue, bringing together the stores into a 35,000-sq.ft. area for the thrift shops alone, along with a new cafe, a Ten Thousand Villages outlet, material resource recovery, a community quilting room and more in the 800,000-sq. ft. facility. The MCC Centre is part of a vision to bring together several different aspects of its operations in one location on about five acres of their eight-acre site. Under construction on the remaining property is another commercial building, which will rent space to raise funds to support the future of MCC. That building is not being built with donations, but is a business venture explained Gerd Bartel, communications and donor relations. “The whole reason to do this is to help the poorest of the poor,” said Bartel. The thrift store on South Fraser Way at Countess Street will continue to operate, as MCC owns the building, but the furniture store at Countess as well as a store formerly located off of Abbotsford Way have been consolidated in the new

building to eliminate the cost of renting those facilities. The thrift stores had expanded into leased space with a basic rent cost of $350,000. By owning the building, those funds can be used to pay off the new site, explained Bartel. The cost was $19 million for the land and the building, with $3 million coming from the sale of two properties, and a further $1 million from a building

The whole reason to do this is to help the poorest of the poor. Gerd Bartel fund. MCC started a capital campaign for $15 million to cover the project, and about $11 million has already been raised. MCC estimates it will save $10 million in lease payments over 20 years, as well as achieving $29 million in additional net income from the thrift stores. The new outlet has more space both for display and the back shop and includes new features such as a heat chamber that eliminates potential pests such as bed bugs in donations. The Common Ground Cafe is intended to be a meeting place for the community, said Wayne Bremner, executive direc-

tor of MCC BC. He said it’s also a place to promote MCC, and the proceeds will go to support the work. Ten Thousand Villages is a non-profit program of MCC, which creates opportunities for artisans in developing countries to earn income by selling fairly priced wares out of the stores. MCC runs a variety of programs overseas, providing aid to other countries by supporting those working on the ground, reaching areas in Africa, the Middle East and other regions around the world. Bremner said the work doesn’t change with the new centre – the commitment remains to relief, development and peace. And while MCC is known for helping those overseas, they are also investing efforts into assisting people locally. Ron Van Wyk, associate executive director, said the MCC rent bank serves the Fraser Valley region by providing rent assistance for those who are potentially facing homelessness. MCC is also working with other local service providers to find ways to deal with homelessness. MCC runs an anti-abuse program for those experiencing abuse, helping to ensure safety and helping them respond so they do not remain victims. Another program, called Home Improvement, is for men who voluntarily acknowledge they have an issue with abuse and mis-

QUESTION

OF THE WEEK

A new mayor

Are you satisfied with the results of the civic election in Abbotsford?

I wish more people would vote. The thank you stickers on our new mayor’s electoral signs were a nice post election touch. Good start, mayor! Brandon Monahan Not happy with the results, or voter turnout, but happy with the process. Debates were fair, well advertised, and well attended. Carol Wiebe

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Do you think voting should be mandatory?

I’m thrilled with our choice of mayor, but was really hoping to see a much more significant change in council and trustees. Anjii Rempel Not happy at the results, but what can I do about it. I voted and that’s more than what other people did who are my age. Kelsey Ward

Hot gases erupt from the legislature Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views The climate debate, which all leftthinking people insist is over, recently erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry. Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed – deniers, believers and so on. Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world. Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest

George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal. I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out. Most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C. Natural gas is mostly methane. It is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t

captured for use as fuel. Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas. B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids. (This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light liquids. Oddly, President Barack Obama and former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.) Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas

B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out.

industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate. CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture. Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund. If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

Left unresolved, homelessness will eventually affect us all

We should not blame or punish our poor and weak. We have seen where such thinking can lead, when so called undesirables are made scapegoats for society’s ills. We fought in the last world war because of such an agenda. And is this really the kind of society we want to live in today? If not, the thoughtful among us will ask, then where are we headed? Many homeless were created when Riverview closed. These citizens have

no living skills. Others are escaping physical and sexual abuse. Some became homeless due to drug or alcohol problems, and some a combination. With unemployment at 6.9% (national stats) job loss has entire families homeless and many only a paycheque away. Hundreds of thousands are homeless across Canada, and hundreds in Abbotsford alone. The Salvation Army has only 40 beds, maximum. Increasing gov-

A visual stain

I am writing to express my dismay (or perhaps more accurately my outrage) at the proliferation of the huge eye-blazing commercial signs in our community. I live on Vedder Mountain at the eastern end of Abbotsford, yet from my porch, at least five miles away as the crow flies, the Pattison sign on the South Parallel Road is a clear, visible blot on the landscape. Instead of the distant twinkling lights of farms and Sumas Mountain, I now see the constant flashing of ad changes. I shudder to think of how this sign impacts on long-time family farmhouse just metres away. I drive east on South Fraser Way heading to the Sumas interchange and instead of enjoying the breathtaking view of Mt. Baker, sparkling with fresh snow, my view is blocked with yet another mammoth commercial eyesore. When exiting at McCallum Road yet another eye-blinding intrusion, and so on. Are we not attempting to make our community greener, more attractive to tourists, more peoplefriendly? These high-voltage signs constitute light pollution of the highest order and are a visual stain on our landscape. Deborah Longhurst, Abbotsford

ernment cutbacks, rising inflation, long waiting lists and few treatment facilities, lack of work, and not even close to enough suitable housing is the grim reality. The issue is complex; but most homeless are simply people in despair. Many are educated and intelligent, who for whatever reason,

cannot see a way out. Yet all are branded and further marginalized. Like a fly on the wall we want to brush them away because they will not go away. But go where? Millions of dollars are spent on salaries, benefits and pensions; millions for sports arenas; millions for arts, theatre and entertain-

them with the basic necessities of life. If it were our son or daughter, we would sacrifice fashions, travel, amusements, mortgage our homes, anything to save them. We would be outraged if they were mistreated. In order to be a strong Canada we need to strengthen our weak-

est links. The problem of homelessness belongs to the nation, and if left unresolved, will eventually affect us all. And we will pay dearly. We must work to foster love of justice. Given our national debt, one day we could all find ourselves homeless. What then? A. Rodenbush Abbotsford

$50,000 theft among seven robberies Blueridge and Townline areas targeted Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Purchase a new Mac and AppleCare & receive a Herschel bag

FREE!

Abbotsford Police are warning citizens in the Blueridge Drive and Townline Road area about a series of recent thefts, including one in which $50,000 in foreign currency, jewelry and electronics were stolen. Const. Ian MacDonald said seven thefts took place between Nov. 5 and 16 in an area bordered by Valdes Drive to the east and Heritage Drive to the west. He said police believe the same suspects are

involved in each of the break-ins due to the similarities among the incidents. All took place between 3 and 7 p.m., involved the culprits getting into the homes by prying open a locked window, occurred in the same general area and involved the theft of cash, jewelry and electronics. MacDonald said none of the residents was home at the time, leading police to believe the thieves might have been watching the houses before

breaking in. He said the timing of the thefts is unusual in that it was during a period when kids would have been coming home from school or people would have been returning from work. MacDonald said several of the thefts involved large amounts of cash and jewelry. The $50,000 theft was the biggest, but the losses in two others were valued at $30,000 and $15,000. â€œAt some places, weâ€™ve been surprised at the amount of cash

and jewelry people have on hand,â€? he said. MacDonald said there is a possibility that the thieves specifically targeted some or all of the individuals who were robbed. He said citizens are encouraged to report suspicious activity to police and to safeguard their valuables. Anyone with information is asked to call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

The Abbotsford School District is getting some new wheels. Abbotsford will receive two 84-passenger buses and one 72-passenger model to replace three older vehicles, according to the district. The existing buses all carry 72 passengers and are between 13 and 16 years old â€“ near the end of their lifecycle.

School district communications manager Dave Stephen said increased ridership in certain areas of the city demands larger buses. â€œThere is an apparent reduction in the number of children being driven to school by parents/guardians which has resulted in some increase in demand for seats on district

Elizabeth grateful for support Wildlife centre boosted by crowdfunding donations Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Elizabeth Melnick of Abbotsford devotes most of her life to caring for the injured, abandoned and sick little creatures that come into her care. Squirrels, birds, raccoons, bunnies and more are nursed back to health around the clock by Melnick’s gentle hand. This devotion leaves little time for her to generate the funds required – an estimated $150,000 in 2013 alone – to keep Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center running. Melnick is thrilled whenever generous citizens come forward to help. Most recently, this community support manifested itself through a Black Press online crowdfunding site called BlackPress4Good. A campaign to collect donations toward wildlife food supplies generated $3,200 for the centre.

Melnick said this support is invaluable. For example, she currently pays about $500 a month to purchase mealworms and insect food for some of the wildlife. This expense doubles during the peak period through the spring and summer. Melnick said she is thankful to everyone who contributed to the campaign. “I can’t tell you enough how much that’s appreciated,” she said. Contributions can still be made to that campaign, while a second one has started on BlackPress4Good to raise funds for a nursery at the centre. Melnick said the nursery is in desperate need of a sink, plumbing, new flooring and finishing. The building is one of the most important functions at Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center, as this is where the sick and injured animals are

brought for immediate attention. The centre has been operating since 1986 with no paid staff, and the only government funding it receives is a $14,000 grant each year from the City of Abbotsford. The rest of the money comes from fundraisers and donations. More than 1,000 birds and small animals are

admitted to the centre each year, with approximately half of those being fully rehabilitated and released back into the wild. For more information or to make a donation, visit abbynews.com/4Good, where other local fundraising campaigns include the Abbotsford Hospice Society and the Starfish Pack Program.

Local Muslim group fights back against ISIS Stop The CrISIS campaign aims to fight youth radicalization The fear of Canadian Muslim youth being ‘radicalized’ and carrying out attacks on home turf became reality after the recent events Ottawa and Quebec. To combat that looming threat, the Abbotsford chapter of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at is hosting an event on Monday (Nov. 24) to “take a stand against youth radicalization and the extremist influence that ISIS can have on our youth.” The event is part of a nationwide campaign called Stop The CrISIS that kicked off earlier this month in Ontario and includes 35 events across Canada. The event in Abbotsford will feature a keynote speaker, multimedia presentations and Q&A with a panel of Islamic scholars, organizers say. “On Canadian soil we have never experienced anything like this,” said Ali Mirza, of Abbotsford’s

Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, about the recent homegrown attacks in Ottawa and Quebec. “The kids who are being influenced [in Canada by extremists] — and of course in a manner that is anti-Canadian — need to be informed.” Rizwan Peerzada, president of Abbotsford’s Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, noted that while fighting youth radicalization and promoting unity is the primary focus of the event, organizers would also like to share some Islamic teachings. “This is not what real Islam is,” Rizwan said about radical groups such as ISIS. The Stop The CrISIS event takes place Monday (Nov. 24), from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Abbotsford Arts Center Banquet Hall, 2329 Crescent Way. Admission is free.

Abbotsford Police arrested a car thief on Sunday just eight minutes after he allegedly stole a vehicle in the 33000 block of McCallum Place. A woman reported at 10:02 a.m. that her 1996 Toyota had been stolen from her driveway. Const. Ian MacDonald said the theft was then broadcast over the police radio communication system to officers throughout the city. Two plainclothes officers were conducting road safety enforcement at the intersection of McCallum and Marshall roads when the suspect vehicle stopped at a red light at that location. The officer identified themselves and ordered the suspect from the car. The man got out of the vehicle and began to move onto the ground as instructed, but he then sprinted west on Marshall Road. He was quickly caught by officers, who placed him in handcuffs at 10:10 a.m. The 36-year-old man from Mission, who is wellknown for property offences throughout the Fraser Valley, is facing charges for theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of possession of stolen property, possession of break-in instruments and obstructing a police officer. He cannot be named until charges are formally laid.

Guilty plea to child porn offences Sentencing slated for March An Abbotsford man has pleaded guilty to child pornography offences. Andrew Douglas Felling, 32, pleaded guilty on Nov. 13 in Abbotsford provincial court. His sentencing hearing has been scheduled for March 18. Felling was charged last December and in January with five offences – sexual interference of a person under 16, possession of child pornography, importing or distributing child porn, making or publishing child porn, and accessing

child porn. The charges resulted after an Abbotsford Police investigator, who was searching online for images of child sexual abuse, was able to trace the IP address of certain images to an address in Abbotsford. A search warrant was executed at that home on Dec. 6, 2013, and Felling was arrested. He was charged the following day with sexual interference. The other four charges were laid in January.

Surrey Six killers’ bid to have charges tossed rejected by judge Sheila REYNOLDS Black Press

The multiple murder convictions of Surrey Six killers Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston will stand now that their attempt to have the charges thrown out has been rejected by a B.C. Supreme Court judge, who called their crimes “horrific.” Red Scorpion gangsters Haevischer and Johnston were found guilty on Oct. 2 of six counts each of first-degree murder and one of conspiracy to murder, but the verdicts had not been entered as they both sought a judicial stay of proceedings alleging abuse of process stemming from police misconduct during the Surrey Six investigation, as well as inhumane conditions the pair faced while in custody. The Crown wanted the application dismissed without a hearing, arguing the allegations did not warrant throwing out six firstdegree murder charges. In her ruling Wednesday, Justice Catherine Wedge agreed there was misconduct, but said staying the murder charges “would be a disproportionate response” to the serious crimes committed by Haevischer and Johnston. “In light of the number of victims and the motivation underlying the murders,” Wedge said in her 42-page written ruling, “society’s interest in seeing justice done on the merits of this case is profound. Society’s interest weighs all the more heavily in the context of this case because the carnage was the result of gang members fighting for turf in the illicit drug trade.” “I am satisfied that the price of staying these convictions could not be worth the gain to our justice system,” said Wedge.

The change to a single wholesale price for every product takes effect April 1, the same date B.C. is permitting private or government liquor sales in separate facilities inside grocery stores. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the change is to create a “level playing field” for liquor retailing in B.C., after private store operators complained

ment stores are wellpositioned to compete with private outlets, which are generally not unionized and pay lower wages. The government is also changing its tax system for breweries to eliminate the steep increase that applies when small breweries reach a certain level of production. Anton said that is designed to encourage growth of craft breweries, which currently employ 2,500 people in B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch officials are also working on a system of higher prices for high-alcohol beverages, a measure long recommended by Provincial Health Officer Perry Kendall to discourage overconsumption.

liquor sales. Anton said she doesn’t expect substantial changes in retail prices. The B.C. Government Employees Union, representing government liquor store staff, welcomed the Sunday openings and increased hours to help their stores compete. “The move to a single wholesale price will only be in the public interest if it protects and expands over time provincial revenue,” said BCGEU president Stephanie Smith. Premier Christy Clark said the government’s liquor policy review showed “people really like their government liquor stores” because of the wide selection and well-trained staff. Clark agreed with Smith that govern-

that the existing system gave government stores an unfair price advantage. Currently the Liquor Distribution Branch, the government monopoly wholesaler, sells products to government stores at cost and sets a minimum price for all retailers. The wholesale price for private retail stores is 16 per cent less than that retail price, rural agency stores pay 12 per cent less, and stores that sell only B.C. wine get a 30 per cent discount. A new wholesale price structure for the thousands of products sold in liquor stores will be the same for all retailers, set to retain the $1 billion in revenues the province takes in annually from

Abbotsford residents spend an average of $866 on rent plus utilities, according to the BC Non-Profit Housing Association’s rental housing index.

utilities – the point beyond which many advocacy organizations say housing becomes “unaffordable.” And many spend even more than that on housing, according to the survey, with 19 per cent of renters spending more than half their income on rent and utilities. The situation is worst for the poorest 25 per cent of renters.

Those renters, who earn below $21,150 a year, on average spend nearly three-quarters – 74 per cent – of their income on housing. According to the survey, which can be found at bcnpha.ca/ rhi, Abbotsford “would need at least 2,730 bedrooms to house all renters suitably,” the largest such figure in the Fraser Valley.

bers are generally similar to both Mission and Chilliwack, but less severe than those seen in Metro Vancouver. In Langley, for instance, the average rent is $1,105 and even most poor households spend an average of more than $900 on rent. And at least one in four renters pay more than half their income to rent in Richmond, Burnaby, Coquitlam, White Rock, Langley City, Vancouver and West Vancouver – cities where rent overspending is flagged as “critical.” Association executive director Tony Roy said the overspending by many rental households puts them at risk of financial crisis. “Many know their rent is too high but feel like they don’t have a choice but to pay up,” Roy said. “We’re not building more rental housing, so renters are forced to overspend in crowded or deteriorated conditions, or they become homeless.” He argued it’s cheaper to invest in affordable housing now than face higher health and justice costs stemming from homelessness later on. One in two B.C. renters doesn’t have access to adequate and reasonably priced housing, according to the association.

Are you prepared for unexpected incapacity? for the unexpected: (1) an Enduring Power of Attorney, which deals with financial and legal decision-making, and (2) a Representation Agreement. This article will focus on Representation Agreements, but if you have questions about Enduring Powers of Attorney, speak with a lawyer who can discuss your options. Ultimately, the purpose of a Representation Agreement is to allow adults to arrange in advance how, when and by whom, decisions about their health care or personal care will be made when they are no longer capable of making those decisions independently. If a Representation Agreement is not prepared and an adult later becomes incapable of managing his or her affairs, a “Temporary Substitute Decision-Maker” (TSDM) will be appointed from a pre-determined list,

Legal-Ease

Most people have at least considered, if not already started, some form of estate planning. They may have spoken with a lawyer, or tried to draft up their own wills. However, most people don’t think about planning for unexpected events that might happen during their lifetime which might make them incapable of managing their affairs. While we may think “that would never happen to me!” the unfortunate truth is that an accident may leave you physically incapacitated, or a disease or illness may leave you mentally incapacitated at any moment. While it makes sense to prepare for the inevitable, why wouldn’t you want to prepare for the unexpected? There are two documents every person should consider having in order to prepare

or the Public Guardian and Trustee of B.C. may be appointed to make decisions on your behalf. If a dispute arises, as they often do, family or friends will find themselves applying to court to become Committee of the incapable person. Unfortunately, court applications come at a cost and regularly those costs can exceed thousands of dollars in legal expenses, and other out-of-pocket expenses. The existence of a Representation Agreement can often avoid all of that hassle and

expense. More importantly, a Representation Agreement creates a contractual relationship between you and your Representative to ensure they act in good faith to carry out your wishes. Many people may still refer to this concept as a “living will.” However, you can include basic directions regarding whether to continue life-supporting care or ensure your last days are in comfort and with the necessary support you desire. Although our hope is to live long, full and productive lives, the importance of preparing for not only death but incapacity can be an extremely important and useful exercise.

Abbotsford en route for transportation upgrades Abbotsford is the fifth largest city in the province and is recognized as one of the most affordable areas to live in the Lower Mainland. As the city continues to expand, so will the demand for reliable transportation capabilities. The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce feels it is imperative to begin planning ahead and taking the necessary actions to increase the economic viability of the community, with transportation at the forefront. The Chamber met with B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone and three local Abbotsford MLAs in September to discuss input for “B.C. on the Move” – the province’s 10-year transportation plan. The four areas of focus are moving

goods and people safely and reliably; growing the economy; connecting and strengthening communities; and maximizing collaboration and investment with partners. As a result of subsequent meetings with stakeholders, the city and the airport, the Chamber has outlined the five most pressing transportation needs common to the community. Those five items include: Q Widening of Highway 1 to six lanes from 264 Avenue to Whatcom Road, including overpass upgrades where needed. Q Improvements to Mt. Lehman Road from Simpson Avenue to the north entry to the Abbotsford Airport. Q Senior government support for an

additional overpass to accommodate longer trains in conjunction with the Vye Road overpass. Q Upgrading of 16 Avenue from the Abbotsford Airport to Highway 99. Q Upgrading of the Fraser Highway from Aldergrove to Mt. Lehman Road. Chamber president Mike Welte says the areas in need of urgent attention best fit into the areas of focus and availability of funding from the senior levels of government. This list of priorities has now been forwarded to the ministry of transportation. Abbotsford city council recently adopted a report from staff confirming four of the five priorities identified above are to also be forwarded to the

province. “We hope that all levels of government see the need to take immediate action in authorizing funding for these priorities,” says Welte. “Depending on the priority we could see some of these items built out over the next two to three years.” He believes that in order to ensure that Abbotsford capitalizes on its unique community assets such as the airport, a 24-hour border crossing, and Highway 1, movement of people and goods is imperative. “More safe and efficient movement of people and goods leads to increased attraction of new business as well as addressing future transportation needs of a growing community.”

VICE PRESIDENT

Hilary Beard DIRECTOR

John MacDonald DIRECTOR

As I reflect on the recent municipal election I want to thank Bruce Banman, John Smith and Bill McGregor for their hard work and dedication during their time in office. I valued the opportunity to get to know each of you and working together with you to make Abbotsford a great place to live, work and play.

Abbotsford’s unemployment and GDP growth is trending the wrong way and is currently worse than the national average. Abbotsford needs to become a city where new and existing businesses can flourish. In Abbotsford we should have the best economy in BC, not just an average one, and so I am interested to hear what the new Mayor and Council have in mind to achieve this goal.

Looking to the future, I am pleased to see four new councillors with great potential and a Mayor who can build on his previous 3 years as a councillor. It is promising to see that these newcomers all have a business and/or economic development background. The citizens of Abbotsford spoke loud and clear that a robust economy is of paramount importance for our future. We have a well-qualified council with the backgrounds, qualifications and personal experience to put Abbotsford’s economy first. The Chamber encourages these new leaders to actively look for efficiencies in local government to decrease costs and actively pursue activities that increase investment in Abbotsford. As you all know, a strong economy leads to high paying jobs,

Parm Sidhu DIRECTOR

Cameron Wilson DIRECTOR

more disposable income, and increased consumer spending. An increased tax base is good for everyone and could even be used to fund new services and infrastructure for our community. I believe the business community is looking for a vision and individuals who are not afraid to challenge the status quo to make Abbotsford one of the strongest economies in Canada.

No longer should we be satisfied with being in the middle of the pack in comparison with neighbouring municipalities. The business community is competing on a global scale and any reduction of cost (i.e. property taxes, business licence fees and less bureaucracy) creates a competitive advantage for our whole community to prosper. As this election becomes a distant memory, all of our elected representatives have the opportunity to deliver on their election promises through action. The Chamber looks forward to working with our new Mayor and Council to ensure economic prosperity for the city and the delivery of a united vision to move forward.

NEW BUSINESSES:

The Abbotsford Chamber would like to welcome the following businesses: Becoming a member of the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce provides substantial benefits to generate more business and reach the heart of your community.

Protecting roses from the cold Brian

Minter

Gardening It is amazing that many rose bushes are still producing buds and blossoms. If you can pick the odd rosebud for indoor enjoyment, it is like capturing a bit of summer. Any time after Nov. 10, however, we should be prepared for a cold spell, such as we’re having now. Winterizing roses is important, not only from an appearance standpoint, but also for their survival should we have severe cold outflow winds. Floribundas, hybrid teas and grandifloras are all treated in much the same manner at this time of year. Using a sharp, clean pair of hand shears, cut all the stems back to approximately two and a half to three feet in height. Make all your cuts on an angle to prevent water from seeping into the stems. Next, take out any obvious dead wood, which often is an ideal overwinter hideout for both insects and disease. It might also be a good idea to use a little pruning paint wherever you make a cut to prevent borers from getting inside. I would also pick off all the leaves, especially the disease infected ones and rake up any old decomposed material around the base of the plants. Climbing roses need to be pruned quite differently. Choose four or five of the youngest and best canes and prune them back anywhere from four to six

Even though your roses look dormant for the winter, their roots are still developing. feet. Tie the canes to a trellis or arbour to prevent winter winds from thrashing them about. Cut out everything else, and mulch the bud union generously. Roses in containers can be easily protected by wrapping them with a couple layers of the new N-Sulate cloth for an added 10 C of protection. The easiest way to winterize tree roses is to wrap a wire frame around them or use three or four stakes with netting, and fill the area above the top graft with bark mulch or straw (keep the straw dry with a plastic covering for the best insulation). Even though your roses look dormant for the winter, their roots are still developing. To protect the bud union, cover their base well with a 12-inch layer of bark mulch, good garden compost or even soil. This protective covering will ensure the survival of your roses even during our coldest weather. I fully understand how inconvenient

it is to go out and spray at this time of year, but you will solve many of your insect and disease problems if you apply a combination spray of mostly organic dormant oil and lime sulphur. The first and most important spraying should be done in mid-November, followed by another application at the end of December and at the end of January. This is an organic spraying, and it will leave the stems of your roses clean, shiny and healthy looking. Once all the winterizing is done, you may wish to spice up your rose garden, after the weather warms up a bit, by planting winter violas and pansies around them. Let’s face it, as beautiful as they are in spring, thorny branches in winter don’t exactly create an inspiring winter display. You might also want to plant early, mid-season and late daffodils among your roses. In April and May, the bronzy new growth on your roses will provide a spectacular background for the brilliant yellow of the daffodils. This is a classic combination and one which will last up to six weeks. When the daffodil leaves are finished and looking poorly, the growing foliage of the roses will hide those spent leaves. If you are planting or moving roses now, use well-drained soil with plenty of compost material and bonemeal. Make certain the bud union is just below ground level, and if you cover this union with a 12-inch layer of mulch, there will be little danger of losing them in cold weather. Winterizing now will not only protect your roses but will also keep them healthy and clean for a new beginning next spring.

Handel’s Messiah performed Vancouver Bach Choir and others featured The Vancouver Bach Choir and professional soloists present Handel’s Messiah, conducted by Calvin Dyck, on Saturday, Dec. 6 at Gateway Community Church (2884 Abbotsford-Mission Hwy.). The performance begins at 7 p.m. and features soloists mezzo soprano Alison Nystrom, alto Ingrid Mapson, tenor John Bacon from England and bass Chad Louwerse. The concert also features a professional orchestra. Handel’s Messiah is a translation of text into choral and orchestral sounds. It was written in just 18 days, at a time when Handel was at the peak of his musical powers and yet in a state of deep depression. Over the last 260 years, the “Messiah” has become an important part of the Christmas season around the world. The Vancouver Bach Choir, one of the largest choral organizations in Canada, has been performing since 1930 and offers concerts in Vancouver and throughout the Lower Mainland. Nystrom is noted for her expressiveness and has performed across North America and Europe. She currently teaches voice at Trinity Western University and Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Langley.

The journey never ends Abby jiu jitsu club tries new approach

Paul ESAU Abbotsford News

This is the story of three men and the cobra who brought them together. Or rather, it is the story of an investor, a contractor, and a martial arts champion who decided to buy an Abbotsford jiu jitsu gym and became friends in the process.

was in his early 40s with young kids and a traffic control company. Gagnon was a mid-20s jiu jitsu juggernaut who, after picking up the sport on a barroom dare, had risen to become the international topranked brown-belt at his weight. Perhaps little would have come of that meeting if it hadn’t been for a trip to Cobrinha’s gym in L.A. Gagnon and Handy shared a cab ride from the airport and an idea was born. “I went into [Cobrinha’s gym] so blind,” said Handy, “I left there thinking like I’d started over, walked through a gym door for the first time.” Inspired, the contractor initially began sponsoring Gagnon at Continued on A42

tournaments, and then broached the idea of buying the West Coast gym in Abbotsford. Gagnon had skill, Handy had money, but the duo needed another investor.

Enter Bjarnason, the gregarious, tall salesman and (then) jiu jitsu virgin. His son Brogan and Handy’s son Cade attended classes together at West Coast, and the boys’ friendship had sparked

one between their fathers. Unlike Handy, Bjarnason had never tried the sport, but the new maturity and co-ordination he saw in Brogan convinced him to invest. “I don’t see another

sport that you can do your whole life, and that gives you the confidence that you need to really deal with this world,” said Bjarnason. Eventually, his desire to help understand his son’s training, even

help coach him, pushed Bjarnason into Gagnon’s classes. For Handy, jiu jitsu was a path to a healthier lifestyle and a more positive community. Now a blue-belt, he competes alongside

his two business partners at tournaments around the world. They’ve been to Tokyo, Chicago, Boston and Long Beach, among others. Gagnon and Jason have matching tattoos from a post-tournament night out in Vegas. “The journey never ends” is written in Portuguese on their forearms. Gagnon runs and cleans the gym, trains, and coaches the classes – a modern-day martial arts master in downtown Abbotsford. Flexible beyond belief, coolly efficient in his technique, and marked with a prize-fighter’s brutalized ears, Gagnon is a jiu jitsu celebrity in his own right. Still, like Cobrinha himself, he is utterly humble as a coach and a fighter. Handy and Bjarnason were initially surprised by this humility, best shown in the approachability of jiu jitsu’s superstars. Cobrinha has visited the Abby gym twice so far, teaching a few classes each time and staying in Handy’s home. “The black-belt Cobrinha, eight-time world champion, the Wayne Gretzky of the sport. He’ll sit there and hang out with us...!” ramarked Bjarnason In Gagnon’s opinion, the sport weeds out the arrogant and violent, leaving only those disciplined and humble enough to embrace defeat. Losing to those smaller than you is a common occurrence in jiu jitsu. Although Handy outweighs the brown-belt by 50 pounds, his strength and weight are dominated by Gagnon’s superior technique. “They call jiu jitsu kinetic chess,” said Gagnon. “It’s like dancing with a resisting partner. “It’s extremely honest. There are so many things in life that you can run away from, but you can’t run away from a 250-pound man being on top of you [on the mat]. There’s no way out. Either you’re going to learn … or you tap out and start again.” Genesis Martial Arts is located at 2313 West Railway in Abbotsford. The gym trains in both jiu jitsu and muay thai kickboxing. Its students include a wide spectrum of ages, abilities, and professions.

UFV rowers compete at nationals

Kyle Krahn and Stephen Wall of the University of the Fraser Valley rowing team turned in a solid performance at the RBC National Rowing Championships, held Nov. 7 to 9 on Elk Lake in Victoria. The national regatta brings together the fastest rowers from each province, including Olympic and preOlympic athletes, and Krahn and Wall were selected to represent B.C. in the open men’s pairs. The Cascades duo made their way through the heats, repechage and semifinals to qualify for the C final, where they finished in fifth place in a time of 6:57.9. UFV rowing coach Liz Chisholm said that qualifying for the C final was a noteworthy accomplishment, considering most of the

competitors in the A and B finals were Olympic-calibre athletes. Krahn and Wall were seeded second heading into the final race, but battled changing wind conditions and ended up fifth. “Our guys had a fantastic repechage and semifinal on Saturday,” Chisholm said. “They got progressively faster, as you do when you’re racing those high-level athletes. They jumped ahead of a couple of crews (over the course of the regatta). “It’s a huge experience leap for them, and to actually hit the marks that qualified them for selection into that event is a big step. They were so excited afterwards with what they could bring back to their crew, and their own development as well.”

Lions hockey grabs gold in U.S. Watch for our flyer in todays paper. 3415 S. Fraser Way, Abbotsford 604-852-5808 www.bigboxoutletstore.ca

The Chicago World Bauer Invite tournament is the biggest of its kind on the planet, and draws hockey teams from all over North America. Some of the biggest names in the U.S. are yearly participants, including the colourfully titled Compuware, Little Ceasars and Honeybaked squads, but this year it was a foreign dark horse that took the top honours. Foreign meaning Canadian, and “dark horse” referring to the Yale Secondary Lions’ longevity, rather than their skill. This is only the second year the Yale Hockey Academy has fielded a team in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL), and the first year that the team

The Yale Lions U-18 squad just after winning the Chicago tournament. has competed in the Chicago tournament. The Lions are a recent addition to the field, and yet their star has been rising fast. The U-18 team that competed in Chicago from Nov 7 to 9 (as a U-16 squad because of different American reg-

ulations) is currently ranked first in Canada, and didn’t drop a single game on their way to the tournament finals The Lions eventually met the second-ranked U.S. team, Honeybaked, in the tournament finals. After an exhilarating game with mul-

tiple lead changes, Yale pulled out a 4-3 victory thanks to goals by Tak Anholt, Luke Warkentin, Kohen Olischefski and Dryden Michaud. According to coach Brad Bowen, the last nine seconds, in which Honeybaked won four faceoffs in

the Lions’ zone, were the most intense of the entire three-day tournament. The American squad would win the draw and immediately shoot, forcing Yale goalie Liam Hughes to smother the puck for another faceoff. Thirteen NCAA Div. 1 coaches were in the crowd for the final game, scouting for their respective schools. Honeybaked is a storied team that includes such NHL stars as Ryan Kesler and David Booth among its alumni. The Lions will be in action again this weekend in the Yale Showcase at the Abbotsford Centre. The Lions will take on the nationally third-ranked Edge (Calgary, Alta.) Friday at 1 p.m.

The BC Cancer Foundation’s (BCCF) 2014 Discovery Luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 19 raised $50,000 for the high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy program at the BC Cancer Agency Abbotsford Centre. The luncheon, presented by Scotiabank, was held at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre in Abbbotsford. The Abbotsford Centre is a key participant in the progression of cancer clinical trials in B.C., which will help change the future of care through advancements in treatment options, said Gordon Stewart, BCCF associate director. “While many families in B.C. – and here in Abbotsford – will be touched by cancer, outcomes are improving and new discoveries are expanding our knowledge of cancer biology like never before,” he said. HDR brachytherapy has so far proven effective in treating both prostate and breast cancer. Support from the luncheon will enable Abbotsford’s brachytherapy program to directly impact patient care in Abbotsford and across the province, Stewart said. David Holmberg Sr., a two-time cancer survivor and well-known member of the Abbotsford business community, and his wife Lee donated $100,000 two years ago to enable the Abbotsford Centre to acquire cutting-edge radiotherapy equipment. The couple lost their son David Jr. to brain cancer four years ago. At last year’s Discovery Luncheon, the Holmbergs made a matching gift of $17,000 in support of clinical trials, and their generosity continued this year. “Anything we can do to help move research forward is extremely important,” Holmberg said. “I can’t stress enough how vital it is to support the BC Cancer Agency and the tremendous work that they do.” Last year, the Discovery Luncheon raised $35,000 to support the clinical trials program at the Abbotsford Centre. Clinical trials translate results from the lab or clinic into more effective treatment possibilities, and are integral tools for better understanding cancer and testing the effectiveness and safety of new drugs.

A $6 million benefit agreement with the Nisga’a Nation to build a gas pipeline through its territory is the first of a series of deals that will share benefits of liquefied natural gas development with B.C. First Nations, Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad says. Rustad and Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman signed the agreement Thursday with Nisga’a Nation President Mitchell Stevens to accommodate a pipeline through Nisga’a territory to an LNG export facility proposed near Prince Rupert. The pipeline is proposed by TransCanada Corp. to supply gas from northeast gas fields to an export facility at the Port of Prince Rupert. But the Nisga’a have aspirations to go beyond one project. The Nisga’a government has identified four sites near the mouth of the Nass River that have level land and ship access that could accommodate land-based or floating LNG terminals. “We’re not interested in a pipe that comes from the northeast and brings raw resources to the coast,” Stevens said. “What we are interested in is a pipe that gives us an opportunity to provide for an economic base for Nisga’a citizens. And these are the sites that were identified, which we own in fee simple.” The Prince Rupert proposal is led by Malaysian energy company PETRONAS, which is expected to be one of the first of more than a dozen LNG proposals to make its final investment decision. The B.C. and Nisga’a legislatures are changing legislation to allow a gas pipeline to pass through Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park, the first provincial park to be co-managed with an aboriginal community. The B.C. government has also proposed legislation to give the Nisga’a government taxation authority over natural gas facilities in their territory. The Nisga’a government has also made an agreement for a still-undetermined share of $10 million in annual benefits from the TransCanada pipeline. Stevens said there was opposition within the community to the pipeline proposal, but after an extraordinary debate where all Nisga’a hereditary leaders addressed the elected legislature, the project was approved by a two-thirds majority. “The opportunity to be an active player in the LNG industry is the kind of opportunity for which our elders struggled for over a century, so we could achieve sustainable prosperity for our people into the next century,” Stevens said. “Our elders have told us, now is the time to be bold and move forward.”

On the top two trim levels the Impreza can be equipped with EyeSight, Subaru’s collision mitigation system that can detect objects and pedestrians and will brake the car to a stop if the drive takes no action. This has proven to be popular with drivers and is something typically found in more expensive cars. What Subaru has not changed is the price. Start-

REU S

It’s all about gaining traction for Subaru, not just on the pavement but also in terms of sales. For Subaru, traction and sales are related. When Subaru decided to switch its entire lineup of cars to all wheel drive (AWD) back in 1995, the company never looked back. (That was also the year Subaru introduced the Outback sport wagon.) Back then, sales then were roughly 4000 per year and this year Subaru is on track to sell over 40,000 units, an impressive accomplishment. In order to highlight Subaru’s latest Impreza compact sedan and hatchback, Subaru needed a location that could show off the vehicle on dry roads and in winter conditions. The Okanagan was chosen for the wonderful twisting roads through wine country but also snow-on-demand at Big White Ski Resort and the setting was perfect. Looks Earlier this year Subaru introduced the WRX, higher performance, Impreza-based sedan to accolades for that vehicle’s handling, power and design. It could be argued that Subaru has refreshed the outside of this new 2015 Impreza with WRX “light”. The new front grille, headlamps, air intakes and wheel options all make a much bolder

the last car but now it is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV), and the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States claims it is the “cleanest gas car on the market,” helping to reduce smog-forming pollutants. Other changes include a re-worked suspension and steering. The springs and dampening have been adjusted to reduce bouncing over big bumps and the steering ratio is quicker. This along with the much quieter interior makes this a good cruising car but the steering lacks feedback and under hard cornering, the car tends to under steer. The engine too is best suited for cruising; climbing mountain roads strained it at times. The good news is that enthusiast drivers have the excellent WRX as an option. Verdict The 2015 Impreza is all about small changes to an already good car. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) now has a thicker casing for quieter operation and it now features pre-set steps to help mimic a conventional automatic. And manual

getting in and out a breeze, the huge windows make outward visibility impressive but the car lacked sophistication. For 2015 Subaru has done a good job of remedying the situation. The radio head unit now looks like a polished, integrated feature, replacing what looked like an afterthought. There is a standard 6.2-inch unit or a larger 7-inch model for cars equipped with navigation. A backup camera is now standard equipment along with Bluetooth connectivity and heated seats are standard on all but the base model. Drive Driving over ice covered roads on the way to Big White Ski Resort and then getting to push the Impreza as hard as it would allow on a snow covered handling course, gives a great sense of confidence in the cars AWD system. Traction is not an issue, the limit is really only defined by the type of tires the car is equipped with. For ultimate bite, a good set of winter tires along with the AWD system is impressive. The 148hp 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is carried over from

statement. Sold as a sedan or hatchback, both cars now have a sharper, more defined look. But Subaru also wanted to make a statement with what cannot be seen, the way the car is put together. One of the main areas of focus was sound insulation and reduced cabin noise. Thicker front and side glass is now used, along with wheel-well sound insulation, thicker door seals and under carpet baffling. Not the kind of advancements that get noticed initially but they are welcome. Inside The Okanagan is one of those spots that is defined by summer; it’s all about the hot, dry lakeside vacation. But after three days, in and around Kelowna, experiencing the first blast of arctic air, the place is just as magical at this time of year. Stories of the wine pickers getting ready for the ice-wine harvest makes it as appealing and delicious as ever. The Impreza had a similar one-dimensional attitude before this new model arrived. Yes, it is one of the most practical designs, with big doors that make

angler Britt Myers wanted a Toyota Tundra equipped with everything you would want to go fishing and I think he got his wish. It is painted in a matte gray finish from front to back

with yellow and black tribal graphics. Front bumper is made by Fab Fours and comes with PIAA fog and driving lights. There is a Warn 15000lb winch tucked inside this massive bumper. Rolling Big Power provided the custom grille. Bushwacker fender flares help cover the 37” tall Nitto mud grappler tires mounted on 22” Moto metal black rims. The folks at Pro Comp suspension provided the 6” suspension lift. It features a MX 2.75c series coil over front shocks and MX6 adjustable rear shocks. In case you are wondering how you would get in this thing, Bestop has built a running board step that raises and lowers automatically when you open and close the doors. A smaller step folds down manually just in front of the rear tires. This helps you reach the custom-made roof rack cargo basket. The cargo basket has Rigid 50” LED lights recessed in the front, back and sides, giving plenty of light to see all around. The canopy is built by Leer and has painted fiberglass panels replacing the windows. The rear is truly unique. The canopy gate and vehicle tailgate are connected and attached to a rolling platform that slides out to carry a beverage fridge, tool compartment, fishing tackle, and more! It looks like a showroom out of a fishing store. The cabin features all black factory leather seats with a custom made center console. Instead of cup holders, a panel of switches takes its place where the driver can easily access the various powered equipment. The dash features a graphic montage of fish skeletons to get you in the mood. The door panels are equipped with twin speakers and a fish finder monitor. I guess you would have to dip the front tire in the river to make it work. The factory 5.7-litre engine has been upgraded to feature a Toyota racing development supercharger and a cold air intake. A custom exhaust system by MBRP finishes off the engine compartment. Fuel economy? – If you have to ask, you can’t afford it. Is it practical? – Maybe not, but it sure would look cool to take it fishing and show off to your buddies. Sticker price: $125,000, to a Redneck . . . Priceless. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

With you a part of me hath passed away, for in the peopled forest of my mind, a tree made leaﬂess by this wintry wind shall never don again it’s green array, another, if I would, I could not ﬁnd, and I am grown much older in a day but yet I treasure in my memory your gift of charity, and young heart’s ease, and the dear honour of your amity, for these once mine my life is rich and I scarce know which part may greater be, what I keep of you or you rob from me. ~George Santayana~

You are forever in our hearts We miss you dearly. Dad & Mom, Richard & Gillian, Mark & Erynn

MAIN EVENT

A unique blend of circus and music The Cirque Musica Holiday Spectacular is not your traditional circus. Coming to the Abbotsford Centre Wednesday, Dec. 17, the show is a balancing act between circus and symphony that combines performances of strength and risk set to the tune of new and traditional holiday classics performed by a live orchestra. The show’s producer, Stephen Cook, says that the music works to get people in the holiday spirit without feeling stuffy or outdated. He is inspired by “random and crazy ideas” that he then aims to bring to life onstage in a visual and auditory experience for the

entire family. His three-year-old daughter and her love for the Disney movie “Frozen” influenced one feature of the show, expressed through aerial and musical performances. “Another really cool moment is when our featured violinist plays Silent Night raised 20 feet in the air, or when three aerialists on silks perform in unison to the Nutcracker,” says Cook. “We try to let the music take centre stage and then have the acts go along to it. But above all, it’s a fun show with a lot of treats for the eyes and ears.” The show features the Wallenda Duo, the most famous high-wire walkers in the

world. Lyric Wallenda, a seventh-generation circus performer, will execute a high-wire act called the “aerial perch,” alongside her mother. “Imagine an 11-foot pole hanging from an apparatus, then there is a tiny pedestal where I turn upside down and hang by an ankle, I hold my mother by her hands, and for the final trick I will spin her by her neck,” says Wallenda. “I’m always nervous, and it takes years and years of training and learning – my mom still corrects me, and my grandmother still corrects my mom – it’s when you lose respect for the danger that accidents happen.”

With plenty of high-flying stunts and distinct performers, including the famed España Family, and original music by renowned composer Marcelo Zarvos, Wallenda, Cirque is unlike any show around. “Stephen Cook is very particular about who is going to be a part of his production and because of that he has hand-selected the best of the best,” she says. “People will witness acts that fit both the music and the theme and will get a great variety of international talent all on one stage.” Tickets can be purchased at abbotsfordcentre. ca or by calling 1-855-985-5000.

One in a stand out colou stand-out colour, such as royal blue, with an elegant touch of black lace la is a perfect choice. For something more m casual, a white halter-style top paired with slightly sli baggy harem-style pants and stiletto heels adds ad a trendy vibe to any occasion. Getting from po point A to point B requires outerwear that is both toasty toas and stylish. A faux-suede coat with a fake-fur collar and cuffs meets both requirements. Top it off with a touch of colour – such as a bright-red scarf – and a beaded be clutch, and you’re all set.

Looking hot in the cold It is difficult to look your best when you’re bundled up to protect yourself against cold winter weather. After all, fashion tends to fall by the wayside when the focus is on keeping warm. However, there are ways to put a fashionable foot forward, even if that well-clad foot is stepping in a puddle of slush.

Scarves Scarves are a fashionable staple of winter wardrobes. Not only do they keep you warm, they can dress up an ordinary ensemble, providing a chic or bohemian look as you navigate city streets. Scarves come in a variety of styles, sizes and materials, and there are many ways to knot a scarf, so you can create a different look each day.

Hats The prospect of flattened, lifeless locks compels many men and women to forgo hats on cold days. But a few tricks can give you the best of both worlds: a warm head and nice hair. After washing your hair in the morning, apply a conditioning treatment to prevent fly-aways. Be sure your hair is completely dry before donning a hat, otherwise hair can become matted and look flat all day. Loose-fitting cotton

or fleece hats may be less likely to flatten hair than a wool hat, and you can keep the hat slightly off the crown of your head to prevent your hair from flattening. When all else fails, women can pull their hair back into ponytails before putting on a hat, which can help keep a style in place better. The arrival of winter does not mean you have to sacrifice your fashion sense. There are plenty of ways to look your best even when the temperature has plummeted.

Sevenoaks Shopping Centre (located upstairs)

Bold colours Don’t get trapped in a pattern of dressing drab just because it’s gray outside. Embrace some bold splashes of colour and they can brighten your day. Patterned dresses in bright hues were seen on the runways at Givenchy, Burberry and Prada shows this fall.

The Latest

Skin Therapy System

Contrasting fur The “it” jacket on many runways this fall featured a contrasting shearling or fur collar. Whether you prefer faux fur or the real thing, a dash of something fuzzy by the neck can keep you warm and instantly add some style to your look. Fur can be used to dress up jeans and a sweater or even add a sophisticated touch to a business ensemble.

Statement coat Boring winter coats need not be your only way to stay warm. Invest in a coat with a fun pattern, fabric or embellishments and it won’t matter what you are wearing underneath because the coat will attract all of the attention.

ON THE NOSE: Red berries and citrus, with floral, mineral, and earthy notes. ON THE PALATE: Sweet-tart red raspberries, hint of strawberries, cranberry cocktail, lemon, followed by savoury finish.

These simple to prepare and flavourful little bites are perfect as a party appetizer, and the jewel-tone red jelly calls out “me first” from any holiday buffet. I love the contrast of the sharp cheese and the spiciness of the locally produced Cranberry Jalapeno Jelly, but for a less zippy version use a plain red pepper jelly. Perfect with a glass of Bella Rosé 2013.

INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Cream butter and cheese together until thoroughly mixed, add seasonings and then beat in flour. Roll into small walnut sized balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet. (Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes if it’s too difficult to roll) 2. Indent each cookie with the tip of your thumb. 3. Bake 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Immediately after removing from

FAVOURITE FARM MARKET

The Farmer and the Foodie You only have to open a decorating magazine or stroll through a store to know that vintage is “hot” these days. How I wish I’d held on to my Oma’s large collection of linens and Corning Ware, as her many humble dishes and lovingly crocheted doilies would today hold great value and renewed appreciation by her many great-grandchildren. I was blessed as a young bride to receive one of her last sets of hand-embroidered tea towels, the seven bleached flour sack towels each stitched with a different day - Monday, Tuesday and so on….accompanied by scenes of various household chores. As today’s social media instantly blasts me with tragic world events at every turn, the faded threads of her meticulously stitched dishcloths

remind me of a more innocent time; a Sunday afternoon when guests dropped in unannounced, followed by the ensuing scramble to enlarge the family table and quickly pull some buns and assorted sweets out of the freezer to feed them. This coming Christmas season, will you agree with me to turn off the mobile devices, just for a bit, and practice the art of old-fashioned conversation and share simple, delicious food with your loved ones. The featured recipe is an oldie but a goodie, perfect to freeze for those unexpected guests, and using a cold-packed cheese that has been produced since 1891 EXP - now that’s OUR LORE F vintage!

HEALTH

MATTERS

Navigating the holidays with diabetes

Managing diabetes is more than just avoiding candy and cookies. Foods with a lot of fat or those that are high in carbohydrates also can be problematic. Such foods may not be so easy to avoid come the holiday season, but the following are a few tips to help diabetics maintain their health through the holidays.

ASK ABOUT FOODS

OPT FOR FRUIT

Donâ€™t be shy to ask the host or hostess about what will be served. This will help you develop a strategy that will fit with your meal plan.

Choose fruit over sweets at the dessert table. If you bring a baked good, consider recipes with reduced sugar or ones that use a sugar substitute.

BRING A DISH

ANTICIPATE FOODS

Make something that is diabetic-friendly and bring it to the party. Chances are someone else attending the party is diabetic and will appreciate having a healthy choice as well.

Certain foods are staples of the holiday season. If you anticipate potentially problematic foods, then you can develop a plan to avoid them or eat them in moderation in advance of arriving at a family gathering or holiday party.

LIMIT ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION Only drink in moderation, eat something beforehand to prevent low blood glucose levels, and avoid drinks with high calorie mixers or ones packed with extra sugar.

TEST DILIGENTLY Now is the time to monitor your bloodsugar levels like a hawk. Monitor your levels more closely so you can see how

holiday foods are affecting your levels and make adjustments accordingly.

CONTROL YOUR PORTIONS Fill up on healthy foods, leaving only a small spot for something indulgent.

REBOUND QUICKLY Experts advise that if you go overboard on a particular day, get back on your feet the next. Exercise, revisit meal plans and cut portion sizes. Diabetics cannot stop monitoring their diets just because the holidays have arrived. With planning and diligence, itâ€™s possible to enjoy the foods and flavours of the holidays without compromising your health.

6721355

Amid a season of sweets and special foods, it sometimes can be challenging for diabetics to maintain their dietary discipline. But eating certain foods in moderation can help people with diabetes enjoy the flavours of the holidays without compromising their health.

Dealing with Seasonal Affective Disorder Here are a few ways to reduce your risk.

DR. JACQUES WEST MEDIMAX MEDICAL CENTERS

GET OUTSIDE

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects up to 5% of the population, and is linked to reduction in light exposure from shorter days and grey skies, which is thought to cause to a chemical imbalance in the brain. People affected may feel overly tired, lack of motivation and even have trouble getting out of bed; in extreme cases, SAD can lead to suicide. Seasonal Affective Disorder season starts usually in October and lasts until the middle of April.

Spend at least 30 minutes per day outside. Avoid wearing sunglasses.

EXERCISE Physical activity releases endorphins and other brain chemicals that help you feel better and gain more energy. The BC Guidelines recommend a minimum of 45 minutes, 4 times per week.

VISIT A DOCTOR Consider medication with your physician, when all else fails. There are medications that can help ease the troubling effect of SAD, when conservative measures have failed to provide satisfactory response. It is always wise to speak with your health professional about any kind of depression; a professional diagnosis should always be the mainstay of diagnosis and management.

years. I helped Jim arrange for several mountain bikes and he was one step closer to offering a mountain bike component at Extravagant Yak Travel Company. As our relationship progressed, Jim told me that he would love some help in pioneering the mountain bike part of the Extravagant Yak. Jim was looking for experienced mountain bike riders who were able to ride some challenging trails and offer feedback to help Extravagant Yak classify and rate the difficulty of certain routes. A couple of my mountain biker buddies here in Abbotsford were also interested

in taking this trip, and we accepted. Fast forward six months and we were making plans to ride a big silver bird to Chengdu, China along with two riders from Vancouver Island, a couple of guys from Alberta and a cameraman from New Zealand. After arriving in the part of China that is close to the Tibetan plateau, we immediately made the overland trip to get up onto the plateau. We spent some time getting used to the high altitude staying in the city of Kangding and doing daily rides up into the mountains. We continued to travel to villages at

higher elevations and experienced some amazing trails; not one of them a dud! The high passes were my favourites and I loved the challenge of a steep trail and the limited oxygen that comes from high elevations (close to 5000 metres). These ancient travel routes, Yak paths and wide open high alpine grasslands made for some world-class mountain biking. Steaming hot springs at the end of one of the trails was a huge highlight as we “soaked” in the highlights of the day.

“ Making Dreams Come True”

Do homes sell in December? While market activity definitely does peak in the Spring months, December is certainly not dead. For example, in April 2014 in Abbotsford, there were 107 detached homes sold, 41 townhomes sold and 38 condos sold. In comparison, in December 2013 there were 54 detached sales, 25 townhome sales and 26 condo sales. So while the numbers are lower you can see that there still are Buyers out there even in the ‘off’ month. Plus the inventory is a lot lower at this time of the year meaning less competition.

I have been a resident of Abbotsford for over 34 years and an Abbotsford Notary for over 22. I specialize in real estate transactions, Wills and Powers of Attorney. There is none more experienced. Whether you are buying or selling real estate, whether it is bare land, a house, townhouse, condo or mobile home, before you make the decision for your representative, give my office a call. You will find us not only knowledgeable and professional but also accommodating to your schedule, if necessary.

Well folks, I originally started selling farms and ranches many years ago, in 1979, and was lucky to be joined by my son for the last 14 years. We do all kinds of farms! We know them and it is our love to see agriculture continue, wether it is in the valley or the 100 Mile House Area. Having lived on a farm our whole life with a strong University background in agriculture we get the job done. We offer the best of advertising, pictorial promotions, websites, and overseas promotions. We try to keep in touch with the latest municipal, provincial, and federal changes, which will encourage the new farmer starting out.

We were impressed with Walter’s credentials and sensitivity to our needs and he performed beyond our expectations and our home sold within a month. Even more impressive than the quick sale was Walter’s level of personal service and compassion. We highly recommend Walter.”
