Home mail delivery to be dropped
12,000-plus Abby homes affected
CROW RESCUED
Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
More than 12,000 homes in Abbotsford’s urban core will stop receiving door-to-door mail delivery next fall, Canada Post announced this week. The postal carrier will be delivering a mail-in survey in early January to solicit public feedback for the change, which will see single-family homes in the V2T and V2S postal code areas receiving mail through community mailboxes. Other single-family homes in outlying areas in Abbotsford already receive mail through the community mailboxes. The move won’t affect apartment residents nor 3,577 other addresses who already receive mail through group or rural mailboxes, or at the post office. Residents of single-family homes in the rest of Abbotsford already use community mailboxes. Most businesses that currently receive door-to-door delivery won’t see any change: of 1,557 such businesses, only 108 will be converted to community mailboxes. Canada Post said the move to community mailboxes is needed to secure the Crown corporation’s future as less mail is sent. No employees will be laid off, according to the company, with staff reductions occurring through attrition as workers voluntarily leave or retire from the company. The survey will ask residents whether they would prefer to see community mailboxes located closer to their homes in smaller clusters of 30 to 40 boxes, or in larger more centralized clusters. Generally, the vast majority of people favour localized community mailboxes within walking distance, said Canada Post’s Jon Hamilton. The final locations of the mailboxes is something that will be decided after the public surveys are collected and analyzed.

Snow & Ice Control The goal of the City’s Snow and Ice Control Program is to maintain travel routes where there is snow and ice on roads and restore mobility for the traveling public. Our roads are classified: • first priority (high volume and strategic arterial and collector roads, and major access roads to hillside areas); • second priority (remaining arterial, hillside areas and collector routes); and • third priority (remaining roadways not identified as first and second priority). First priority roads are maintained until conditions are under control subject to worker/equipment availability and weather. Only then are resources redirected to second priority routes and subsequently third priority routes. The City does not remove snow and ice to bare pavement conditions. The public is encouraged to use caution, and wherever possible, park vehicles off the streets. Abandoned vehicles or vehicles obstructing roadways will be towed without notice to allow for snow clearing operations to continue and towing costs will be the responsibility of the vehicle owners. We ask that you do not plow snow from private properties onto the public roadways as this can result in visibility hazards and obstructions and will require additional time for clearing roadways. The City will work 24 hour days until the snow ends and first priority routes are passable for travel. Additional information on our Snow and Ice Control Program can be found at www.abbotsford.ca/SIC. For more information, please contact the Engineering Operations Division at 604-853-5485.

Christmas Wrapping Paper is Not Recyclable When wrapping up presents, consider using re-useable gift bags, tins, shopping bags, a scarf, t-shirt or blanket as an alternative to wrapping paper. Christmas wrapping paper cannot be recycled, due to low quality paper and the number of contaminants. Blue bags containing wrapping paper will not be collected.
Frozen Material in Curbside Containers Winter temperatures can freeze garbage and compost inside your curbside container and make it difficult to collect. To avoid injury and damaging containers, collection workers are only able to provide limited shaking and hitting of containers against the truck to dislodge frozen materials. To prevent compostable materials from freezing to the sides of your container, please line it with crumpled newspaper, paper, dry grass, branches or cedar needles. Please also ensure your garbage and compost containers have a secure lid when placing them outdoors to prevent rain from entering and freezing. If you have any questions, please contact the City of Abbotsford Engineering Department at eng-info@abbotsford.ca or 604-864-5514.

Some people might think a crow didn’t deserve so much attention, but Elizabeth Melnick would disagree. The founder of Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center in Abbotsford believes all creatures deserve to live, so when she was informed about the plight of one such bird last Friday, she couldn’t rest. The episode began with a phone call to the centre from a woman who had spotted a crow caught in a power line in the area of Farrant Crescent and Ravine Avenue near Mill Lake. It appeared that the crow was tangled in some fishing line. Melnick told the caller that she was unable to rescue the bird due to the electrical dangers, and suggested she notify BC Hydro. A while later, Melnick hadn’t heard anything, and she contacted the woman to see if the bird had been saved. The woman informed Melnick that she had called Hydro but she wasn’t sure what had transpired. Melnick doesn’t drive at night, and she had to wait until the next morning before she could get to the scene herself. She was heartbroken at what she spotted. “The bird was dangling by
Vikki Hopes Abbotsford News
Elizabeth Melnick of Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center shows off the crow that was rescued on Dec. 13 from a power line. one wing and trying to free itself but he just kept spinning,” she said. Melnick then contacted Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service’s (AFRS) Hall 6 on West Railway Street to see if they could help. AFRS members have assisted with similar rescues in the past. A truck arrived at the scene but the crew confirmed they, too, were unable to save the
bird. BC Hydro was again contacted, and this time a crew arrived right away. Melnick found out that they hadn’t come out the night before because they thought the crow was dead. Within minutes, the bird was freed from the power line and placed in Melnick’s care. Back at the wildlife centre, she determined that the crow
was relatively unscathed from the experience, other than losing a toe and having a bit of damage to one wing. She said she was impressed by the response from AFRS and BC Hydro. “It was really neat. It was so heartwarming. Everyone pulled together.” Melnick said she is dismayed about the ongoing issue of small creatures – mainly birds – being hurt by fishing line left behind at Mill Lake. Melnick said ducks, Canada geese and other birds often become trapped in trees or in power lines after flying away with the material. Other times, the line wraps around the birds’ beaks or legs. In some cases, birds have had to be euthanized because the fishing line has cut through their flesh right to the bone. “This fishing line is just wicked stuff. The more they struggle, the tighter it gets. It’s needless suffering,” Melnick said. Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center is a non-profit organization that cares for injured and/ or orphaned wild birds and small animals such as squirrels, raccoons and rabbits, with the goal of returning them to their natural habitat.

Injunction prohibiting camping in Jubilee Park to remain in place BC Supreme Court justice upholds decision to keep homeless camp out of park Abbotsford News
File photo
A homeless camp in Jubilee Park was set up in October 2013 and was dismantled after a court injunction was granted to the city last December. remain – in an area on Gladys Avenue near Essendene Avenue. Pivot argued the injunction should be dissolved because the city had failed to provide any meaningful housing or shelter alternatives to the people evicted from Jubilee Park. Justice James Williams found that people are currently living in worse and more cluttered circumstances, but that those conditions are not a “great deal” worse than their previous camp in Jubilee Park, according to a Pivot news release. “Today the court recognized that the most vulnerable homeless people in Abbotsford
have had no safe place to live,” said DJ Larkin, lawyer at Pivot Legal Society. “Jubilee Park is not the best option, but it did represent a safer option to our clients until meaningful housing alternatives are made available.” Mayor Henry Braun told The News that while the court upheld the city’s original request for an injunction, “there is really no winner in this, because people are still out on the streets.” He said the city is continuing to work on other ways to help address homelessness, citing the recent announcement that Fraser Health will
Sylvia and George Peary honoured for their contributions Sylvia and George Peary were honoured by Skills BC in recognition of their involvement with the organization since it moved to Abbotsford ten years ago to Tradex. When the competition moved from Vancouver, the Pearys helped it to settle in the community. The provincial skills contest draws together students from around the province to compete for medals in different categories like carpentry, brick masonry, culinary arts and more. Students can advance to national and international competitions. Sylvia co-ordinates a group of volunteers of anywhere from 20 to 40 people to help at Tradex to provide the services needed for
the program. The Skills BC recognition gala was held on Nov. 25. The honour she and her husband received is due to the hard work of volunteers, said Sylvia. “Those are the people who really do the work and the award is about them.” Sylvia said the competition continues to grow. “It’s the one event that recognizes that there are young people who have amazing skills that are more job-related skills.” She said much is done to recognize academics, but the competition recognizes kids who have skills is welding, fashion or web page designs and high-tech fields – and it is important to nurture those skills.

An injunction prohibiting homeless people from camping in Jubilee Park will stand, following a decision by a B.C. Supreme Court justice released on Wednesday. Lawyers for Pivot Legal Society, a non-profit legal group representing homeless people in Abbotsford, argued in early December that an injunction against camping in the park should be dropped. The injunction has been in place since last December. In October 2013, a group of homeless people set up a protest camp in Jubilee, stating they would stay until solutions were found to address homelessness. The city issued an eviction notice for the park in late November, but campers remained. The city asked the courts for an injunction, which was granted on Dec. 20, 2013. At that time, Justice James Williams said the camp was impacting public use of the “community space” and this superseded the inconvenience of having the occupants move to another location. The campers then vacated the park and haven’t returned. Many of them relocated – and
launch an assertive community treatment (ACT) team in Abbotsford and Mission. The outreach team will provide health care services and will serve about 100 individuals in the area. The position of a homeless co-ordinator at city hall will likely be filled and functioning early in the new year, said Braun, but he noted that while “not everybody thinks that is a good idea” it was approved by council. He said he is continuing to work with the provincial government and community partners to work towards supportive housing opportunities in Abbotsford. “I want to help people who are in need and want help and I’m am going to continue to do that,” he said, adding that homelessness is a complex issue and is complicated by the court cases. The injunction related only to Jubilee Park. The city’s application to enforce a ban on camping in all parks will be dealt with as part of a trial tentatively scheduled for June 2015, as Pivot lawyers have argued that the bylaws are unconstitutional. Braun said he hopes progress is made in helping the homeless before the court case next year.

Climate deniers are willing Dealing with hypocrisy to risk our future The absolute nonsense that is being peddled by the climate deniers about the proven science of climate change really irked me. The range of tactics these people with opinions not based on facts use is as broad as their understanding of science is appallingly thin. Climate deniers are willing to risk the future of all of us on their ridiculous theories, conspiracies, propaganda “experts” on the payroll of the fossil fuel industry, quoting other internet trolls like themselves who pass on ill-informed opinions as facts, and, like it or not, those who want to use their evangelical religion as a shield against
the reality that our planet is on the brink of a man-made disaster. The ultra-conservative think tanks, like the Fraser Institute and others funded in part by those lovable Koch Brothers, have done so much damage to the world through their screwed-up ideas on politics, economics, and their attacks on those who want a sustainable future and a viable planet. Their goal to sow doubt on climate change has been done with disastrous effectiveness. I’m fed up with the lot of the deniers and their ludicrous ideas because they aren’t just innocent opinions on things that they know nothing about.
Their anti-science ideas are undercutting those of us who understand that we must move past all the unnecessary noise and doubt that these deniers are creating as a distraction. If ever there was an enemy of the state (and by extension the planet) it is not the environmentalists, as claimed by our prime minister, but the deniers, including Harper, who reject logic, reason, and all the sciences in favour of pseudoscience, internet troll opinions, and even religion itself. The time for debate has long passed. It is time for action on the environment. Robert T. Rock, Mission
Now that the BC government has revoked its approval of Trinity Western’s proposed law school, it is timely to reflect on some key realities. First, there are now many hundreds of lawyers in Canada who hold to the same ethical standards described in TWU’s controversial Community Covenant. I am not aware of a singly complaint against any of these Christian lawyers because of their Christian beliefs. Second, some Christian law schools in the United States hold to the same behavioural values as does TWU. Here, also, I am not aware of any complaint against Christian attorneys because of their Christian values. Third, some opposing BC lawyers argue that TWU’s law graduates would be poor attorneys because they might not be willing to defend homosexual individuals or per-

sons in a same-sex marriage. Is it a requirement that attorneys must be willing to defend either side in every case? No. And here’s the main question. Would the opposing attorneys be willing to defend TWU at the Supreme Court, arguing that TWU has the right to require its students, while students, to hold to the traditional practice of marriage? Probably not one of those critical lawyers would be willing to do that! If my assessment is correct, then those same lawyers should not be critical of TWU-trained lawyers who might also be hesitant to defend every cause and action in society. Are we dealing with hypocrisy! TWU-trained lawyers should have right to do what every other lawyer has the right to do! John H. Redekop Ph.D. Abbotsford,

BUNDLE UP
Closing argument for law-school debate In view of the controversy in the media recently concerning the proposed faculty of Law at Trinity Western University, it appears, to the layman, that a number of members of the bar are angry and strongly opposed to the possibility that some future bar members will be morally responsible people.
Which in turn leads one to speculate on the morality of those in opposition. The opinions of a bar member in opposition expressed on television recently, indicates the prejudice this person stated would influence the interpretation of law by graduates of a faith-based university. It would be a de-

lightful experience to be able to engage an attorney and be sure they were honest and incorruptible. I would add that I wish all people, irregardless of faith, colour, politics, or sexual persuasion, could be defended in time of need by a learned, moral person of great faith, because their
fate would be in caring hands. In closing I wish to remind all judges, attorneys and prosecutors that the base of the law you are trusted to administer is based on the Ten Commandments, and this statement is not debatable. R. H. Diesel, Aldergrove

Avian influenza found in Washington wild birds Two strains found, including H5N2 affecting Canadian poultry Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
Two different strains of avian influenza have been found in wild birds in Washington State near the border with Canada. Highly pathogenic H5N2 avian influenza was discovered in northern pintail ducks, while a high-path version of H5N8 was discovered in captive
gyrfalcons that had been fed wild birds killed by hunters, according to the United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. In the last two weeks, a “highly virulent” high-path H5N2 has been found at 10 Fraser Valley farms, including eight in Abbotsford. “The finding in
Whatcom County was quickly reported and identified due to increased surveillance for avian influenza in light of the [high path] H5N2 avian influenza affecting commercial poultry in British Columbia,” officials said in a news release. No birds in commercial poultry have been infected with either strain of avian influ-
enza in Washington or elsewhere in the United States. On Wednesday, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) publicly confirmed that the virus contained gene segments from a high-path Eurasian H5N8 gene. “This is the first time a Eurasian lineage highly pathogenic H5 virus has caused an
outbreak of avian influenza in poultry in North America,” the CFIA said in a news release. “The appearance of this particular reassortant virus is significant due to its ability to cause high mortality in domestic poultry.” TTT Poultry farmers who see their flocks culled to contain an avian influenza outbreak will
receive compensation, but it won’t fully cover the costs to remove all traces of the virus, BC Chicken Growers Association president Ravi Bathe told the News. Farmers receive compensation from the federal government based on the number and type of birds euthanized. So far, 233,800 chick-
ens and turkeys have either died from the “highly pathogenic” H5N2 avian influenza virus or been ordered killed. Bathe said that the costs quickly mount even after barns are “depopulated.” Bathe said it can cost tens of thousands of dollars to fully scrub the barns of all potential traces of the virus.

MICHAEL de JONG MLA, Abbotsford West

Alleged crime took place in 2011 From A14
The alleged incident happened at an unofficial but popular camping area at the gravel bar. Leger offered to take the victim on a ride on his side-byside ATV, the young woman testified. Leger, the girl and some of her friends had been drinking alcohol the older man had purchased. The young woman said in BC Supreme Court in Chilliwack that Leger took her for a ride about 10 minutes away from the campsite, and then forced himself upon her at the back of the ATV. “I kept telling him ‘No,’” she said on the stand. “I kept saying ‘no’ . . . think of your wife.’” There were a number of details of the alleged assault the girl could not remember, either in court this week or when talking to police a day after the alleged assault in 2011. She said she didn’t remember how the incident started once the ATV stopped, or how the attack concluded, but she did remember details before, during and later. Leger’s lawyer Vincent Michaels questioned the young woman’s ability to remember details. He also questioned claims the girl made about memories “popping” into her mind weeks after the alleged attack. The court heard that she had entered one such detail into the notes function on a Blackberry, something she said she later deleted. When asked to produce the phone so that an expert could find the note, she refused. “Because it didn’t happen,” Michaels suggested. “Yes it did,” she responded. “I’m suggesting that you were caught in a lie and you knew it,” Michaels said. “Agree or disagree?” “Disagree,” she said. The alleged victim’s friend was on the stand Tuesday morning, and police officers and a witness from the campsite testified Wednesday. The trial is scheduled to continue Jan. 5.

mitting to building Site C, the government is investing in B.C.’s continued access to the energy we need to take B.C. forward.” Winter said reliable, low-cost power has long been a major competitive advantage for B.C. as a business jurisdiction. “Reliable, affordable power allows our businesses to compete nationally and globally and to create jobs right here in B.C.” Winter said. “It’s a key factor in our province’s economic success.” Winter commended the government for the decision. “Site C is the largest investment decision our province will make in a generation. But let’s be clear: Today’s decision was the right decision for our economy and our future,” Winter said. Mike Welte, president of the Abbotsford Chamber, said B.C.’s future energy needs will go beyond Site C. “Site C will have a significant role to play, however we anticipate that B.C. will need to leverage its full basket of energy options including oil, natural gas, renewable energy and hydro assets to power our economy,” said Welte. BC Chamber members have long backed Site C as a strategic investment in reliable, publicly-owned energy infrastructure. Site C will be the third dam and hydroelectric generating station on the Peace River in Northeast B.C. It will generate 5,100 gigawatt hours of energy – enough to power 450,000 homes a year. BC Hydro estimates that the project will generate approximately 10,000 direct jobs and an additional 23,000 indirect jobs, and contribute $3.2 billion to B.C.’s GDP. In addition, Site C will generate firm power for more than a century.

Concerns about pipeline expansion
A19
City not taking a stance on Kinder Morgan proposal at this point Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
Lynn Perrin of the PIPE UP Network (Pro-Information ProEnvironment United People) spoke to council on Monday and asked where the city stands on the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. Perrin raised concerns about the proposal – 42-kilometers of pipeline runs through Abbotsford – which would increase its capacity from 300,000 barrels per day to 890,000. Both PIPE UP and the city have intervener status in the upcoming National Energy Board (NEB) hearing on the proposal. Perrin said there have been three leaks from the pipeline in Abbotsford: in 2000, 2005 and 2012. She said that in 2005 it took a week for the spill to be found and addressed. Emergency responders didn’t know what was in the spill and weren’t in the proper response gear, she said. In 2012, the spill happened at 2:39 a.m. and emergency responders didn’t know until 9:15 a.m, said Perrin. Perrin said the U.S. Department of Transportation has fined Kinder Morgan nearly $1 million in civil fines for breaking 27 U.S. pipeline safety rules. Perrin requested that Abbotsford join others communities like Burnaby and Vancouver and not support the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. Mayor Henry Braun said the city has asked a long list of questions of Kinder Morgan – some of which are yet to be answered – and he would like to have all the information before a decision is made. Coun. Patricia Ross said she has many concerns about the proposal and wants to see that the company is taking concerns and the potential impact seriously

Valley Regional District and city are not taking an outright position of opposition at this point, but both are “very much involved in representing the concerns of our citizens.” Braun said there will be a report on the Kinder Morgan project coming to council with more information, as there are currently some questions from the city that have not yet been answered. The second round of information requests must be submitted by Jan. 16, 2015 and a report will come to council on the proposal in the first quarter of 2015.

Province urged to end Merry Christmas Merry ‘shadow system’ of hristmas! C substandard foster care A ‘home away from home’ for all your out of town guests!
to all!
New call for government action from children’s rep Jeff NAGEL Black Press
B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth has issued yet another stinging rebuke to the province for allowing substandard conditions in 31 cases where youths in care ended up critically harmed or dead. Mary Ellen TurpelLafond latest review of children in care focuses on those with complex medical, psychological or behavioural needs and paints a tragic portrait of a system she says is “in disarray” because of government’s failure to fund an adequate model. “We’re compounding their challenges by isolating them and giving them this kind of substandard treatment,” she told reporters Wednesday. One youth dubbed Dean came from a vio-
lent, unstable family and mentally ill mother who considered killing him, according to the new report. He was diagnosed with various behavioural disorders and hospitalized for selfharm before entering government care and being placed in a foster home at age 15. The foster father didn’t want his own kids exposed to Dean so the youth was kept in a separate rental home that the dad staffed with workers he met through Narcotics Anonymous or the local coffee shop, with no criminal record checks conducted. One night worker turned out to be a sex offender who abused the boy, Turpel-Lafond said, calling it an example of a “shadow system of care” where
kids who need the most attention are cast aside. “When we put the neediest kids in these ad hoc group homes that are one-offs where someone can hire someone from the Starbucks lineup or from their Narcotics Anonymous group to care for a child, that’s not good care.” It’s particularly troubling the province knew of that care plan and agreed to it, Turpel-Lafond added. Of the cases reviewed, seven children were sexually assaulted, eight were physically assaulted, while others were suicidal, had drug overdoses or self-inflicted injuries. Two died. She noted the Ministry of Children and Family Development continues to use hotels in all Continued on A22

regions of the province to house some children in care who have not been placed elsewhere. “You basically go to sleep in a hotel with one worker and wake up with another worker,� said Turpel-Lafond, who wants the province to disclose each time hotels are used. “Sometimes the kids sleep overnight in the afterhours office [of the ministry], which isn’t even as good as a hotel – they’re sleeping in an office.� Her chief recommendation is for the to province stop putting children with complex needs in inappropriate placements and that new residential services be created that aim for a loving family-style environment, not institutionalization. Letting at-risk kids drift toward poverty, homelessness, jail, abuse and untreated mental illness is much more costly than a comprehensive, fully funded and properly supported residential care system, she said. She’s also urging a hybrid approach of shared guardianship that lets parents and other family continue to participate in the upbringing of a child who must be in government care. Minister of Children and Family Development Stephanie Cadieux issued a statement saying the review doesn’t reflect her ministry’s latest improvements, including the new six-bed Maples Adolescent Treatment Centre in Burnaby. Cadieux called Turpel-Lafond’s proposed threemonth timeline for action “unrealistic� because the ministry is tackling other priorities, including the hiring of 200 more front-line child protection staff. Turpel-Lafond said the government has had adequate time to act – it’s been nearly two years since she issued similar recommendations after an 11-year-old boy with complex needs was tasered by police. “I’m certainly not happy that I continue to see children in this state,� she said. “They need to get on this.� Of B.C.’s nearly 9,000 children and teens in care, 1,300 have complex needs and nearly 900 of them are in contracted placements that often have inadequate oversight.

The federal government has lost another round in a legal battle over whether medical marijuana users can continue to grow their own pot in their homes. The Federal Court of Appeal on Monday rejected the government’s appeal of a March 21 court injunction that has temporarily allowed previously authorized medical marijuana patients to continue growing their own, or have pot grown for them, despite new federal regulations that outlawed home grows as of April. A full trial on the constitutional challenge lodged by various medical marijuana patients is slated to begin Feb. 23 now that the court injunction has been upheld, Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy said. The appeal ruling also requires the court to clarify the status of some patients who were left out of the injunction because their authorizations weren’t valid at the time it was issued. Conroy said he’s optimistic about the trial but isn’t reading too much into the latest ruling, which keeps a continued legal cloud over the new federal system of medical pot being provided only through licensed commercial producers. Thousands of B.C. medical marijuana grow operations were legally being run by or on behalf of federally licensed users when the injunction was granted last March allowing them to continue until
the challenge is heard. Other legal actions are also pending on behalf of medical marijuana users, including one

Alignment of strategic priorities ensures Chamber success Last year the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce celebrated its 100-year anniversary. The long-term success of the Chamber has resulted from the ability to change its strategic objectives to meet the needs of its members and the community it serves. As a member-based organization, it is imperative that the Chamber continues to create value by maintaining relevance and meaningful benefit. The mission of the Abbotsford Chamber is to build and sustain a thriving business community, and going into 2015, it has realigned its direction to focus on three key objectives: advocate, benefit and connect. This includes serving as the lead advocate to ensure that the interests of the business community are
well represented in public policy decisions, responding to member needs through exclusive programs and services, and connecting and engaging members through purpose-driven events and activities. According to Chamber President Mike Welte, members have said they want to be more effective, increase new business, deliver superior customer service and improve profitability. “This comes through greater efficiency, lower taxes and less red tape,” says Welte. “The ABCs of the Abbotsford Chamber will direct the programs and activities of the Chamber to ensure that maximum benefit is provided to our members.” The Chamber will be introducing a number of new initiatives this coming year, including
enhanced promotional opportunities, access to skills and technology training, cost reduction benefits and innovative events. “We are implementing a new public policy committee to better represent the needs of small business to senior levels of government,” says executive director Allan Asaph. “Not only will this enhance our capabilities as ‘the voice of business,’ but it will provide members with an opportunity to become more engaged in the public dialogue process.” The Abbotsford Chamber is also reviewing its communication strategy to ensure it is using the most up-to-date methods of communicating opportunities, programs and benefits effectively to members and the community at large.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Gaining greatness from Canadian resources Last week the BC Chamber of Commerce brought together the largest Chambers in the Province to discuss issues affecting business in their respective communities. During the session we heard from Basia Ruta, Municipal Auditor General for Local Government and Dr. Brian Lee Crowley, Managing Director of Macdonald-Laurier Institute in Ottawa. The evening ended with the annual BC Deputy Minister’s Dinner where the business community had the opportunity to advocate with 23 Ministerial decision makers from Victoria. I want to focus on the remarks presented by Brian Lee Crowley. Brian spoke about Canada’s resource development and its importance to major emerging markets around the world. The high value placed on our exports has less to do with their quality or quantity and more to do with the strong fabric of laws, processes, safeguards and regulatory control that we have in Canada. These are core values of our strength as a nation and are highly praised in world markets. An emerging trend identified in Brian’s presentation was that resource development doesn’t appear to be seen by some groups as in Canada’s national interest anymore.

UPCOMING
is now to ask ourselves what we want in regards to national resource development policy. It is crucial that we focus less on vilifying specific resource projects and more on the legitimate process of evaluation to ensure that all our needs are properly taken into consideration. We must allow Canadian citizens and politicians the opportunity to hold each project accountable against clearly defined objectives and silence the opposition that condemns without basis.
This comment stems from what seems to be a never ending voice of protest reacting negatively to ANY resource development activity. What is ignored or undervalued are those very same safeguards and controls so highly valued by other nations. Opponents arbitrarily submit resource projects to their own self-serving criteria of social license, holding them to undefined or unrealistic standards. In many cases this is done in complete defiance of legitimate and legal business practices and due process of law. Canadians have a lot to gain from exporting of resources to foreign markets. The time
In the next three years, it is estimated that China will build 36 million new homes. China will increase oil consumption from 78 barrels of oil per day to 128 barrels in the next three years. These are huge opportunities for Canada’s economy through the export of oil and softwood lumber to name a few. As a society we need to realize that properly assessed and regulated resource development continues to be vitally important for Canadians. I would really like to see the media begin to tell the other side of the story, one of economic impact and Canada’s world class regulatory process, rather than showing another protester taunting police or lying beneath equipment on Burnaby Mountain.

Abbotsford Chamber awards two community grants The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce awarded Community Grants totalling $2,500 to two Abbotsford organizations at their December luncheon. The Community Grant Program was created last year to provide financial assistance to non-profit, community-based organizations that provide direct programs, services or activities that enhance the quality of life for Abbotsford residents. The main focus areas of the grants are social services, health, the arts, culture, heritage and the environment. “Members of the Chamber of Commerce are active participants in all aspects of life in our City and this is a way for us to support some of the organizations and events that make Abbotsford such a tremendous place in which to work, live and play”, said Abbotsford Chamber President Mike Welte. “This year we received 17 grant applications

At the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce we are always looking for ways to improve service to our members and add more value to your membership. We know there are concerns and challenges you have as a business owner or manager that we may be able to help with. That’s why we started a new event called 12@12. Starting in January we will be inviting 12 Chamber members to have lunch on us and discuss ways in which we can further assist your business. It might be a service that can help save you money, a new

way to find more customers or how to deal with troubling red tape that is slowing down your business. Whatever it is – we want to hear from you! Being a member has its privileges, and this is one more way the Chamber is helping you build a strong successful business. At the same time we can make you more aware of some of the existing programs and services that may benefit you. Call Allan at the Chamber office 604-859-9651 ext. 302 to be added to our invitation list.
Would you like to make the “Voice of Business” even stronger? The Abbotsford Chamber has successfully tackled many issues as it actively works on behalf of its members and the local business community on public policy issues. Creation of the role of Auditor-General for Municipal Government, implementation of the Inter-municipal Business Licence in the Fraser Valley and the elimination of proposed fees and additional administrative burden on small business by Multi-Materials are just some examples of recent successes. In order to make our efforts even more effective, the Chamber has created a Public Policy Committee. Starting in January, this committee will consult with local business and other groups to identify issues of importance to the business sector. It will develop, research and write formal policy submissions to be submitted to senior levels of government. In addition, it will assist the Board to communicate with all levels of government to advance issues of concern to the business community. If you feel passionate about making a difference and want to help make Abbotsford a better community – this is the right opportunity for you! We are looking for a few select individuals to join this important committee. For more information call Allan at the Chamber office at 604859-9651 ext. 302 or email allan@abbotsfordchamber.com.

Ruling on police search of phones raises questions: SFU prof granting police wider powers to search cellphones after an arrest raises troubling questions for privacy
Jeff NAGEL Black Press
A Supreme Court of Canada decision
and fails to take into account the power of the devices most people carry in their pockets and purses.
That’s the response of SFU criminology professor David MacAlister to the high court’s 4-3 ruling
Thursday. “The court has taken a fairly naive view of what a cellphone is,” he said Friday.
“No doubt police are going to push the boundaries a little bit and see what happens.”

The ruling allows a warrantless search of a phone provided it’s carefully documented and limited to the immediate reason for the arrest. MacAlister said that appears to limit the search to recent texts, emails, photos and calls, not older ones or an exploration of data that may be in various other smartphone apps. A deeper search of a smartphone could still be done, but would require a warrant. MacAlister said it’s unclear exactly where the line would be drawn between recent information related to the arrest – like a photo from a crime scene or a text to a crime boss confirming a job was done – and older data, including unrelated personal texts or intimate photos officers might stumble upon. “Are police really going to be careful to just look at the last one or two photos taken? That causes me concern.” MacAlister said the ruling appears to run contrary to a 2013 court ruling that all computer searches require a warrant because of the intrusiveness of searching all the private and personal information they contain. He questions whether the cellphone or computer rules would apply to tablets. MacAlister said technological lines between computers, phones and tablets have become increasingly blurry and there’s no logic in the law attempting to redraw them. “There’s a real grey area now between what constitutes a phone and what constitutes a personal computer,” he said. “I personally use my cellphone for pretty much everything that five years ago I would have done on a computer.” Investigators could potentially gain access to everything from contact lists to web browsing histories to GPS location information through smartphones.

Privacy concerns From A30
Also unclear is how police officers would enforce the new power to search phones, especially in cases where users have password protection to access their phones. “I’ve got one of the new iPhones with a thumbprint reader,” MacAlister said. “What about those? Can they force people to actively facilitate a search against them?” The decision dismissed an appeal of the 2009 armed robbery conviction of a Toronto man who argued police violated his charter rights when they searched his phone without a warrant and found a “we did it” draft text. The court ruled warrantless searches are allowed if the arrest is lawful, the search is related to the arrest and based on a valid law enforcement purpose. That would include preserving evidence, discovering new evidence and locating additional suspects in situations where the investigation will be significantly hampered without a prompt search of the phone. Three judges dissented and argued all such searches require a search warrant, except in rare cases where there’s a danger to the public, police or evidence.

Black Press
Kelly Chow doesn’t look like Scrooge. But his cautionary words would clamp shut the wallets of even the most frenzied Christmas shoppers. Chow is a trustee in bankruptcy for BDO Canada. He’s the guy people get sent to see when they’ve spent too much money and can no longer pay their bills. Unfortunately, said Chow, the weeks and months after the holiday buying binge are often his busiest. According to the Bank of Montreal, Canadians will spend an average of $1,517 this Christmas, a lot of it on credit. That will be added on to the $20,000 the average Canadian already owes, not including their mortgage. When those credit card bills start arriving in January’s mail, it can be a tipping point for some, said Chow. They make the minimum monthly payment and figure they’re on top of things. They start using credit cards to pay off other credit cards, or they borrow against the equity they’ve ac-

As a trustee in bankruptsy for BDO Canada, Kelly Chow has seen the tragic results of people overextending their spending, especially at Christmas. cumulated in their house. But there’s a price to be paid for such bad habits, said Chow. Often that’s an appointment with him. “Credit cards divorce the pain of spending with the pleasure of buying,” said Chow. “It makes it easy to fall into a bad cycle.” Chow said we’re conditioned to spend money. Shopping is pleasurable. Never more so than during the Christmas season; gifts make people happy. “It strokes your ego,” said Chow. But not managing expectations and exceeding a budget can bring dire consequences.
“Credit can be a short-term fix,” said Chow. “But like most things in life, it will only get worse.” Chow said most people with debt problems will do anything they can to avoid a meeting with him, including accumulating even more debt. “We’re like the undertakers of the economy,” said Chow. “Nobody wants to see an undertaker.” To avoid that fate, Chow has several simple suggestions: • Resist online shopping. It’s too easy and makes the consequences of that spending seem too remote. • Track income and

of home ownership may have encouraged some people to stay in rental housing rather than buy.” The provincial vacancy rate fell from 2.4 per cent to 1.5 per cent, while the AbbotsfordMission area vacancy rate edged down 0.1 to 3.1 per cent. Adamache said the Abbotsford rate shows renters there have more options than those closer to Vancouver. The survey found a two-bedroom apartment rented for an average of $1,311 per month in Metro Vancouver in October, up 2.5 per cent from a year earlier. Two-bedroom rentals averaged less than $1,000 in three areas – Surrey, Langley and Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows, which had the lowest average rent at $886. The priciest areas to rent a two-bedroom were West Vancouver at $2,031, UBC at $1,917 and Vancouver’s Downtown/West End at $1,849 The average twobedroom rent in the Abbotsford region was $835, up 1.1 per cent. The survey for the first time estimates the proportion of condominium apartments directly owned by foreigners who live outside Canada – 2.3 per cent in Metro Vancouver, rising to 5.8 per cent in parts of Vancouver. Adamache said that rate includes all foreign-owned condo units, including those that are rented out, and also unrented units that are just held as an investment or holiday home. But it does not include foreign owners who buy property here through a Canadian holding company. Foreign ownership of real estate in the Vancouver area has been a topic of extensive speculation, with concerns raised that some neighbourhoods have many unoccupied homes. One failed Vancouver mayoral candidate proposed charging an extra tax on absentee owners who don’t rent out their homes.

Gifts to take the stress out of winter driving by Bob McHugh
Yes, winter weather has arrived early this year, but there are some clever new products available designed to make life with an auto less stressful and safer in sub-zero temperatures. Ranging in price from $9.99 to $159.99 these products could also be a great Christmas gift for just about anyone who drives. Working with its suppliers, Canadian Tire has helped develop some new auto products that address winter driving problems. They’re as basic as scratch-proof snow and ice removal tool that’s easier on your car’s paintwork to a compact and light-weight emergency traction aid that could be a life-saver. The Garant EVA Snowbrush has a bristle-free brush with a foam head that’s less abrasive on vehicle paintwork. It addresses the negative feedback

not a replacement for conventional chains, as it’s not intended for highway driving use. Easy to use and quick fitting, this traction aid is also far lighter and easier to store in a vehicle than tire chains. A truck version ($49.99) of the Trac Grabber Car Traction Aid is also available. Sold in pairs, a Trac Grabber is attached to each drive wheel, similar to a tire chain (but is much easier to use). It’s designed to supply provide enough traction to release a car (stuck in snow or mud) and get it back on the highway (where it should be removed). Another good auto safety gift idea is the MotoMaster Eliminator Tripod Light ($29.99). This multi-function light has an articulating head with red LED emergency light and fold-put tripod legs that extend for additional stability when placed on the road to warn drivers that they are approaching a broken-down vehicle. It also features a powerful lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Good vision when driving is very important in cold weather. If you have to park you’re vehicle outside overnight, the Subzero ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover ($9.99) is an inexpensive investment. A hook system secures it inside the car, however, users do complain about it flapping in strong winds. You may also consider FOR

upgrading your current headlights to SilverStar Ultra Lights ($59.99). They promise up to 50 percent brighter light with up to 40 percent more downroad illumination than standard halogen lights. New wiper blades can also make a big improvement in driver vision and a set of Bosch Icon Wipers cost from $24.99 to $25.99. This premium dual-rubber synthetic product claims to last 40 per cent longer than other blades. If you have a fear of running out of fuel, or a friend who does it regularly or you simply want a peaceof-mind back-up supply of gas for a long driving trip, Spare Fuel ($19.99) is a non-flammable gasoline derivative that is safe to store in the trunk. It’s safe to use in all engines that use unleaded gasoline, comes with filler tube and it can be stored in your vehicle all-year-round. The most common winter auto emergency is a dead battery. Yes, you could carry a set of jumper cables and hope that you can get a boost from another vehicle, but that’s not always easy or possible. Another solution is the Noco Genius Mini Booster, GB30 ($159.99). It may seem a little pricey, but this compact yet surprisingly powerful lithium-ion jump starter pack is mistake-proof and multi-functional. Offering 400 peak amps it can provide up to seven jump-starts on a single charge. It’s also a seven-mode LED flashlight and it can be used as a portable recharge (USB) dock for other electronic devices. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
‘Twas the week before New Year’s, and all through the car, Components were groaning, it couldn’t drive far. The tow straps were hung by the work bench with care, In hopes that new parts soon would be there.
The poor old engine had ran out of puff, With thick smoke billowing, it needed more than a buff. The transmission was leaking, the engine misfired, Leaving me weeping, from these repairs I would tire.
When out on the lawn there arose a low rumble, So smoothly it sounded. No roughness, no stumble. “I envy that sound,” I said, with a mumble.
Just as I’d feared, prognosis: not good. When a deep voice behind me said “You did all you could.” As you can imagine, I turned mighty quick, And there by my work bench, stood my old friend Nick!
A bundle of car parts strapped to his back, He went to my work bench, and opened the sack. He spoke not a word, but went straight to my ride, And fixed it with love, horsepower and pride!
He started the engine and said with a smile, “This car was worn out, it has been a while! Enjoy your ride, all shiny and new, For it’s not very often that car dreams come true!”
Then his big block exploded with Flowmaster sound, Nick dropped the clutch, the tires shredded the ground. I heard him exclaim, as he blasted from sight, “Merry Cruisemas to all, and to all a good night!” Check out some of the reasons why Nissan is

Abby football players make B.C. all-star teams
W.J. Mouat defensive lineman Kieran Testa was forced to watch the start of the season on the sidelines because of a knee injury. For a senior hoping to accumulate some game tape to help earn a university scholarship, it wasn’t ideal timing. Fortunately, he will now get an extra opportunity to showcase his football skills. Testa is among the 32 players from across the province who’ve been selected to suit up for U18 Team BC at the fourth annual Tanoa Bowl Classic in Auburn, Wash., on Dec. 28. Testa said he’s excited about the chance to “show people what I can do when I’m healthy and have some fun.” Testa has already had contact with a few
Canadian universities, including Simon Fraser University, Queen’s. University and the University of Guelph. Mouat coach Dennis Kelly described his allconference player this way: “He’s very good. A strong kid, very smart, he’s a very good student.” The U18 Team BC will be coached by Jay Prepchuk, a former quarterback at SFU who now coaches high school football. Team BC also has a Grade 8 team participating at the tournament. The Grade 8 squad includes running back Luke Szmutko of the Abbotsford Falcons. Team BC will face WA Vasa at 12:15 p.m. on Dec. 28 at Auburn Memorial Stadium. The Grade 8 BC takes on the NW Cougars at 10 a.m.

ENGAGEMENTS
INFORMATION
Annette Louise Lavoie (nee Gibbs) of Abbotsford BC. It was a year ago on a snowy December 20 that you had to suddenly leave us after fighting cancer for years, first breast cancer, and then brain cancer. You were so brave and strong in your fight and we know you would have stayed with us longer if you could have. There is not a day that goes by that we don’t miss you or think of you. We will always love you. It has been such a difficult time these past years, but our family is very grateful and blessed by all the support of family, friends and the caring of the people of Abbotsford. We thank you all. “We your family miss you In the house where you used to be We wanted so much to keep you But God willed it not to be Now you are in God’s keeping You suffer no more pain So dear God take care of her Until we meet again”

HARMS Peter
JENSEN SR.
Peter G. Harms passed peacefully into the presence of his Lord on December 13 at 10:15 pm at the age of 91 with his loving wife by his side. He will forever be loved and fondly remembered by his loving wife, Susie, children: Joyce (Peter) Kehler, Peter (JoAnne) Harms, Elfrieda (Richard) Peters, 11 wonderful grandchildren, and 10 even more wonderful great grandchildren. He is also survived by 6 siblings, 7 sisters-in-law, 1 brother-in-law, numerous nephews and nieces and many friends. He was predeceased by 2 sisters and 2 brothers. He was born in Osterwick, Ukraine on May 21, 1923 and fled with his family to Canada when he was 2 months old. He grew up in Manitoba with his 10 siblings, and became a farmer. He married Susie Peters on October 11, 1953, and in 1968, they moved to BC where he became the minister of West Abbotsford Mennonite Church. He also worked as a carpenter, then was called to be a minister in the Clearbrook Mennonite Church for a few years, and continued as a lay minister there till his early 80’s. He leaves a legacy of cherished memories. He had integrity, wisdom, humility, and an intense desire to work. His children always said that their dad lived the sermons he preached. We will forever think of him as a man who walked with God. We will strive to follow his Christian example. The viewing will be held at the Clearbrook Church at the corner of Church St. and Peardonville Rd. at 8:30 on Dec. 19, 2014. This will be followed by the burial at Maclure Road Mennonite Cemetery. A celebration of his life will be held at 11:00 am in the Clearbrook MB Church on the corners of Clearbrook Rd. and Old Yale Rd. It would be appreciated that, in lieu of flowers, donations may be given to the Menno Home or the charity of your choice. Online condolences may be made at: www.wiebeandjeskefh.com We would especially like to thank the staff at Menno Home, East 2 for their loving, thoughtful care of Peter in the last 2 years. We, the family are deeply grateful.
Soren
SEIME Penny “Baby Girl” April 2, 2002 ~ Nov. 28, 2014
Sadly missed by her mother Sharon, family and friends. Our world is no longer complete. We miss you with all our hearts every day.
Soren Jensen, Sr. passed away on December 10th, 2014 surrounded by his beloved family at the age of 73. He was the heart and centre of his family and will be incredibly missed. Soren was born in Port Alberni on September 29th, 1941 and spent most of his life in Abbotsford. He was the son of Henry and Donalda Jensen (nee Bishop) - deceased - who raised their four energetic and rambunctious sons on their farm. Soren’s greatest joy was his own family - his treasured wife Judy, his son Soren Jr. (Fiona) and daughter Brigit. He will be especially missed by his “special boy”, his grandson Henry. Also grieving his loss are his brothers Clarence, Les and Frank and their families, Judy’s mother Bertha and siblings Eleanor, Bruce, Gail, Sylvia, Monty, Gwen and their families and the “boys” Fraser and Oliver. Soren’s careers were varied - and in all of them he made friends and admirers. He also volunteered countless hours for many organizations including the Abbotsford Curling Club, Abbotsford Whalers Swim club, and Hole-in-theWall. Soren was a strong and guiding force for his family always ready with a joke and a helping hand. If you were lucky enough to spend time with him you know desserts are never safe around eagles. The family would like to thank the first responders and staff at the Abbotsford Hospital, along with Dr. Keith and the nursing staff at the B.C. Cancer Agency in Abbotsford, who supported him in the last few months. A memorial service will be held at the Abbotsford Ramada, 36035 North Parallel Road on Monday, December 22nd at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Holmberg House Hospice.
It is with extreme sadness that the children of Rose Schilling announce her passing on December 13, 2014 at the age of 85 years. She was born Rosabelle Marie Thompson, the youngest of six children of Jack and Zerella Thompson of Lacombe, Alberta. She married George (Dode) Johnstone Gillies in 1947 and together they farmed along the east side of Gull Lake until his passing in 1951. She later married Robert Schilling in 1953. They spent most of the adult life in Hinton, Alberta until Rose move to Abbotsford, BC in the early 1980s. Rose moved back to Alberta in 2008 to be close to her children and resided in Edmonton until her passing. She leaves to mourn her loss four children - John (Marlene) Gillies of Lacombe, Linda (Lawrence) Billey of Sherwood Park, Bob Schilling of Edmonton and Larry (Cathy) Schilling of Lindsay, ON. She also leaves nine grandchildren, seventeen great grandchildren and an extended Billey family who will greatly miss their Gramma Rose. She will also be missed by numerous nieces and nephews and very many life long friends. Rose was predeceased by her infant daughter Louise, first husband George and second husband Robert, her parents and five siblings Edna, Earl, Lawrence, Clarence and Jack. Rose has requested no formal funeral. A family burial will take place in the spring. Donations can be made to the Al Anon organization where she was actively involved in Abbotsford and Edmonton.

Born in Hillandale, Saskatchewan, Gladys is survived by her two daughters, Jacqueline and Marceline, and son, Gerry (Donna). Gladys’ memory will also be cherished by her grandchildren Hayley, Ashley, Corey, and Shaylyn, all of whom she loved dearly.

Gladys grew up in Val Marie, Saskatchewan before she ventured west, met her husband, and settled in Abbotsford, BC where she raised her family and lived for over 60 years. In Abbotsford, Gladys attended Trinity Memorial United Church, was an avid bowler, and volunteered her time for the Church and Red Cross. She made numerous life-long friends in Abbotsford with whom she enjoyed socializing and keeping in touch with. Particularly in her later years, Gladys’ family filled her with joy and, above all, she loved those close to her unconditionally. Heaven welcomed a beautiful soul Saturday evening.
