Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Regional Hospital (ARH) is struggling to meet a provincial standard for the time it takes to admit emergency patients, according to a Fraser Health Authority report card.

While Fraser Health would like to see 55 per cent of emergency patients admitted to hospital within 10 hours, only 36.4 per cent of such patients at ARH are admitted during that time period.

Those numbers are reflective of difficulties across the region served by the health authority, with just 39.1 per cent of all Fraser Health emergency patients meet what administrators call the “10-hour rule.” In Mission the number is even lower, at 30.1 per cent.

While Shallen Letwin, the executive director for the Mission and Abbotsford hospitals, said first contact with physicians usually takes place an hour or two after entering the emergency room, the report card numbers show that admission often takes much longer for those who require a hospital stay.

The regionwide Fraser Health report card stated: “Our emergency departments are becoming increasingly overcrowded due to increasing patient volumes, and recent results at the site level show Continued on A5

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.

Attention Trail Users and Park Patrons During wet and/or cool periods, walking surfaces can become very slippery.

Deadline for applications: January 31, 2015

The Order of Abbotsford was established by Council, on February 7, 2005, to recognize individuals who bring distinction to themselves and to the City of Abbotsford in broad areas of endeavour such as: community leadership; business; labour; industry; volunteer service; professions and other occupations; research; culture; the arts; sports; and others.

The City is seeking nominations for the Order of Abbotsford.

Any person or organization may nominate a resident of Abbotsford. Nomination forms can be found on the City website at www.abbotsford.ca/order, or picked up from the City Clerk’s Office, 5th floor, Abbotsford City Hall, during regular business hours. Nominations for 2015 recipients must be received by January 31, 2015.

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 as: • 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.

Upcoming Ban of Food Waste in Curbside Garbage Starting January 1, 2015 Metro Vancouver will ban food waste from garbage dropped off at their transfer stations and other Metro Vancouver disposal sites starting January 1, 2015. The Matsqui Transfer Station, used for disposal of garbage collected by the City, is included in this ban. Any curbside garbage delivered to the Matsqui Transfer Station that has more than 25% food waste by weight will result in a significant financial penalty to the City. To ensure City garbage trucks are not fined, curbside garbage may not be collected if notable food waste is found in the garbage. Curbside collection workers will provide warnings for initial exceedances of food waste in the garbage; however, ongoing or excessive exceedances may result in non-pickup of the garbage.

If you are not already participating in the curbside compostable collection program, please begin participation as soon as possible to ensure your curbside garbage is collected. The diversion of compostables from garbage is good for the environment and saves the City money. Yard waste and recycling are already banned from garbage.

The curbside compostable collection program includes food waste (meat, bones, vegetables, fruit, bread, dairy, tea bags, paper towels, etc.) and yard waste (leaves, weeds, branches, plants, shrubs, etc.). For more information, please visit www.abbotsford.ca/collection or email eng-info@abbotsford.ca.

2015 Dog Licences The Fraser Valley Regional District now provides Animal Control services for the City of Abbotsford, including dog licencing, bylaw enforcement issues such as barking complaints, off leash infractions, and aggressive dog investigations.

All dogs in Abbotsford, 6 months or older, must be licenced. To avoid a late fee, please purchase your 2015 licence before February 16, 2015. New licence applications and on-line renewals are available through the FVRD’s website at www.fvrd.bc.ca. Dog licences for 2015 can also be purchased, in person only, from the 1st floor of Abbotsford City Hall at 32315 South Fraser Way. For further information about animal control or licencing, contact animalcontrol@fvrd.bc.ca or call 1-844-495-CARE.

Abbotsford News

Barely a year after Target opened in Abbotsford, the American retailing giant is pulling out of Canada.

The Abbotsford store, which opened at 1225 Sumas Way in November of 2013, will be one of 133 locations that will close across the country. Those stores represent the company’s entire presence north of the border.

Dates have closures have not been disclosed.

Target, which employs 17,600 people in Canada, announced the move Thursday morning, citing no foreseeable end to large losses in the company’s Canadian operations.

In 2011, Target announced that it was expanding into Canada by buying the leases of Zellers, a Hudson’s Bay Company subsidiary.

File photo

The Target store in Abbotsford will be closing along with the other 132 locations in Canada.

After the Abbotsford Zellers closed in February 2013, Target spent around $10 million to remodel the store, which was forecast to employ between 150 and 200 staff.

“We had great expectations for Canada but our early missteps

proved too difficult to overcome,” said Target CEO Brian Cornell.

“Personally, this was a very difficult decision, but it was the right decision for our company.”

The company was granted protection from creditors in

Ontario Supreme Court under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act. “The Target Canada team has worked tirelessly to improve the fundamentals, fix operations and build a deeper relationship with our guests,”

Cornell said. “We hoped that these efforts in Canada would lead to a successful holiday season, but we did not see the required stepchange in our holiday performance. There is no doubt that the next several weeks will be difficult, but we will make every effort to handle our exit in an appropriate and orderly way.”

Target also got court approval to voluntarily place $70 million in an employee trust to “ensure fair treatment of Target Canada employees.”

The move would ensure a minimum 16 weeks compensation, including wage and benefit coverage for workers not needed for the full wind-down period.

Target stores will remain open during a court-supervised liquidation.

that most hospitals are still performing below the set targets.”

Letwin said administrators are aware of the situation and are working to speed up the process, an effort she said is closely related to reducing the length of stay for patients.

“There are limits to how many beds and locations a hospital has so therefore we need to make the best use of those locations through these processes,” she said. “For Abbotsford and Mission in the 30ish [per cent] range, there is obviously an improvement we’re looking at to try and advance [patients’] journeys a lot sooner.”

She said administrators are also looking to improve the resources available in

ONLINE abbynews.com

the communities so that patients who can be treated outside of hospital don’t need to be admitted to a bed.

Asked if there’s enough room in the hospitals in Mission and Abbotsford, Letwin said: “There’s enough room if we continue to be very good with our length of stay and the admission rate.

The inflow and outflow have to be connected and we’ve done a lot of work at connecting that.”

With an average stay length of 7.1 days reported in ARH’s latest report card, the hospital is nearly a full day over the Fraser Health target of 6.3 days. Between April and November of 2014, Abbotsford also had 49 patients staying longer than 30 days.

Similarly, the emergency patient ex-

perience most recently measured last spring got a substandard grade of 73 per cent, below both the 90 per cent target and the 79 per cent Fraser Health average.

“We are developing processes to ensure the patient-care journey is efficient, safe and expeditious,” Letwin said.

But the solution isn’t simply to increase the amount of staff in the hospitals.

Letwin said staffing levels can impact the speed at which patients are admitted at busy times, and the hospital brings in more personnel during busy times. At the same time, she said staffing levels aren’t a key driver of reducing lengths of stay.

OF THE WEEK Are you disappointed by the closure of Target in Abbotsford?

Target closing That is a shame. I enjoyed shopping there.

Friendly staff and clean store.

Hilda Tuin-Car

To answer, go to abbynews.com

The prices just aren’t that great. Was hoping they would have more of the merchandise that Target US carries. I understand it can’t be the same prices as the States, but wish they could’ve carried the same products.

Raven Little

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Would you change your shopping habits to avoid a .5 per cent transit tax in Metro Vancouver?

Dislike. Back to Bellingham!

Canadians, for better and for worse Andrew

On Point When Jamie Bacon and company were spreading their brand of drug-related violence throughout this community in 2008 and ’09, there were plenty of suggestions as to what should be done with them, but sending them “back to where they came from” was not among them.

It would have been a ridiculous suggestion, because the Bacons “came” from here.

They’re Canadians. Patently bad ones, but Canadians nevertheless.

One of them is actually past tense; shot and killed a few years ago. Live a violent life, odds are you die a violent death.

But to the present…

For the past several months, there have been ongoing violent altercations between groups of young men in a west Abbotsford neighbourhood. Police have dubbed it the Townline Hill Conflict.

It’s not entirely clear what these guys are fighting about. Vengeance for perceived past transgressions? Dominance over territory? Just young ego and testosterone?

Whatever is at the core, the nature of the violence has been escalating. The confrontations have gone beyond physical scuffles and fights, although those continue.

Recent incidents have seen cars torched, and a gun dropped during a temple parking lot brawl.

That weapon turned out to be a pellet gun, but it looked extremely real – enough so that if someone else was carrying a real firearm or knife in the melee, it could have sparked a deadly reaction.

And that was before last week’s revelations via government court seizure proceedings that a fatal shooting in the area last fall was gang-related, although not necessarily linked to the previous violence.

Nevertheless, the situation is of serious concern to the police, the residents of the neighbourhoods involved, and the community in general.

No one wants bands of troublemakers sowing mayhem in their town.

And this isn’t the first time local streets have festered with violence perpetrated by groups of rivals, hence Jamie Bacon and company come to mind.

Yet there is a major difference between that prime example and the Townline Hill situation.

The Bacon brothers are white. Thus, deportation is not among the simple solutions of the less-than-nimble public thinkers.

In the Townline case, the combatants are primarily brown – therefore: “send them back to where they came from.”

“If they don’t want to live by Canadian laws, then leave.”

Social media and online comments are littered with those vapid statements whenever law-breaking involves individuals who are not white.

It’s blatant racism.

There may be an odd exception, but I’m guessing the majority of the youth

Those young people “came from” here.

involved in the Townline Hill conflict were born and raised in Canada, to parents who are either citizens themselves, or have permanent resident status.

Those young people “came from” here.

They are Canadian citizens. Bad ones, but citizens nonetheless, and Canadian citizenship by birth cannot be lost by bad behaviour.

Should commission of a criminal offence have been grounds for deportation, for the past century or so tens of thousands of misbehaving Canadian citizens would have been shipped back to Britain, Scotland, France, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Sweden, etc.

After all, that’s where many of us firstand second-generation Canadians “came from.”

But in the narrow minds of some, it’s different if the miscreants come from India, Pakistan, Vietnam, China, Uganda, or any other non-Caucasian country.

Fortunately, regardless of skin colour or ethnicity, all Canadian citizens are subject to Canadian laws ... including those who disrespect and break them.

Sitting in their prison cells, the two surviving Bacon brothers could speak to that.

Two men found guilty last year in the mass murder of six people in a Surrey apartment in 2007 have filed appeals of their convictions.

Red Scorpions gang members Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston were both convicted in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver in October of six counts of first-degree murder for the execution-style killings that took place at the Balmoral Tower apartment building on Oct. 19, 2007.

Murdered were Corey Lal and his brother Michael, Eddie Narong, Ryan Bartolomeo, Edward Schellenberg of Abbotsford and Christopher Mohan.

The Crown’s theory was that Haevischer and Johnston plotted to kill rival drug dealer Corey Lal over a turf dispute, but the others were killed to eliminate witnesses.

While some of the other victims had links to the drug trade, Schellenberg, 55, was a gas fitter who happened to be repairing fireplaces in the building that day, while

Mohan, 22, lived in a neighbouring apartment and was heading out to play basketball when he was pulled into the death suite.

During the trial, the court heard the killers had the victims lie face down on the floor with hoods over their heads before shooting them.

Johnston and Haevischer were sentenced to a mandatory term of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.

They filed their conviction appeals on Thursday, Jan. 8 in the B.C. Court of Appeal. A date for their appeals hearing has not yet been set.

Red Scorpion gang leader Michael Le was initially on trial with the pair before making a surprise guilty plea in December 2013 to conspiracy to murder Corey Lal. He then testifed for the Crown against his co-accused.

Alleged Red Scorpion co-leader Jamie Bacon of Abbotsford is also charged with conspiracy to commit murder and first-degree murder in the case and is scheduled to be tried separately this spring.

Festival at Hindu Temple Lohri a popular celebration

JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News

Musical performances were among the activities and entertainment at the Hindu Temple on Walmsley Avenue in Abbotsford, which recently celebrated Lohri.

About 400 people attended a festival at the new Hindu Temple on Walmsley Avenue in Abbotsford on Tuesday night.

Lohri, also known as “the Bonfire Festival,” is a popular Hindu celebration that symbolizes the harvesting of the winter crops in India.

In Punjab, the main winter crop is wheat, which is sown in October and harvested in March or April.

Lohri is celebrated

B R O U G H T T O Y O U B Y S AV E - O N - F O O D S

during the rest period in January before the cutting and gathering of crops.

The festival includes the lighting of a large bonfire, around which participants sing traditional folk songs and dance as they celebrate fertility and the joy of life.

A large feast is also enjoyed by festivalgoers.

The new Abbotsford temple, operated by the Fraser Valley Hindu Cultural

Society (FVHCS), began construction in October 2013, replacing a 14-year-old structure at the same location.

It is one of only two Hindu temple in the Lower Mainland – the other one is in Surrey – and serves about 250 families in Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Aldergrove and Langley.

Construction is ongoing and is expected to be complete this fall.

One of the best things about Italian cuisine can be its simplicity, and one of the best things about winter is eating soup.

One of the commonly asked questions directed to me is for easy, fast, and delicious soup recipes. This is the one I recommend all the time.

This soup is hearty and because it is loaded with Italian sausage, gnocchi pasta, tomatoes, garlic, and incredible cheese it is everything you would expect from an Italian soup . . . but also very quick and easy to prepare. If you have never heard of “gnocchi” pasta before, don’t despair — vacuum sealed packages of the small dumpling-like pasta shapes can be found at almost all major grocery stores down the pasta aisle.

t ck ou l ' s e h C s dea ' l l e r Dar e week! of th

Don’t underestimate the choice of the Pecorino Romano cheese as the finishing garnish for this soup as it adds incredible flavour and complements and balances all the other flavours in this soup beautifully. Large shavings of this cheese are easily prepared with a simple vegetable peeler - shave it directly onto the individually bowled soup portions just prior to serving - this looks much more rustic and gourmet than simply grating it, but either way is fine. If you can’t find Pecorino Romano, a chunk of Parmigiano Reggiano will have to suffice. Enjoy and keep warm this winter.

Abby duo to go wild for TV series Campaign started to raise funds for pilot episode Abbotsford-born and raised television producer Joel Reimer has announced a new TV series called Into Wild Vancouver, for which he has started a crowdfunding campaign to help produce the show’s pilot.

Reimer said he is appealing to the show’s audience to raise funds before approaching traditional network sponsors.

Reimer left Abbotsford two years ago in pursuit of his career in television production.

He saw a desire by those living in the Greater Vancouver region to know more about the wildlife in their own backyards, and recruited a team of local professionals to make it happen.

Joining Reimer is actor

Impact offers parent group

Jenn Kobelt, also an Abbotsford native, who will serve as the pilot’s co-host.

“We want the people of Greater Vancouver to decide whether or not they want to take a trip Into Wild Vancouver,” Reimer said.

“It is our audience that will watch and learn about local wildlife every week.

Vancouverites will be the ones taking their kids out

Bringing BC’s Communities together.

Tablets replace binders at MEI Middle Sixty students participate in Digital Immersion project Computer tablets have replaced heavy binders, pens and paper in half of the Grade 7 classes at MEI Middle School this year.

Sixty students in Grade 7 are taking part in the school’s Digital Immersion pilot project this year.

Two classrooms in the middle school are now essentially paperless as students write, edit and submit their assignments online in electronic portfolios in language arts, socials, science, Bible and math.

The school has partnered with Staples to enable families to purchase Microsoft Surface Pro 3 tablets.

Students bring their tablets back and forth to school each day.

The school plans to expand the program next year as the current Digital Immersion students move into Grade 8 and a new group of students enters Grade 7.

Principal Heather Smith said MEI Middle recognizes that classrooms and life in the future will involve more and more integration of technology.

She said the school wants to embrace technology, while recognizing the dangers that can arise from giving students access to the Internet.

Smith said digital citizenship is a fundamental part of the program and is reiterated daily as students are guided to use technology with wisdom, responsibility and accountability.

“Interacting positively online, particularly with social media, needs to be taught, as does devel-

oping a critical mind and higher-level thinking skills while interacting with text that has been published,” she said.

The two teachers currently involved in the project, Sean Laforest and Jaben Schalk, have seen educational benefits within the program.

They said they are seeing higher quality and greater student output on assignments.

“Students now have the knowledge of the world at their fingertips and are excited to access it during class discussion and lessons,” they said.

They said the student organization of classroom and learning material has also improved significantly as hand-outs and homework are no longer carried back and forth and juggled in paper format.

Smith said feedback from parents has also been positive.

Each parent is provided with a log-in for their son/daughter’s academic calendar and portfolio.

All graded assignments are filed in an electronic gradebook and parents can look at every assignment to view for completion and to review grades and any specific feedback or comments that the teacher has made.

Smith said the program is preparing students for the future.

“This is setting students up for some new and exciting opportunities as we seek to develop 21st century citizens who are well equipped for a quickly advancing world.”

Garbage exports to U.S. hit all-time Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Garbage exports from the Lower Mainland to the U.S. hit an all-time high in December, according to estimates from Metro Vancouver.

They show loads of garbage heading south for landfills in Washington State climbed 60 per cent over the last year to more than 19,000 tonnes per month.

Metro Vancouver last year tried to ban haulers from trucking waste out of the region over fears the rising flow of outbound garbage will cost the region millions in lost tipping fees and thwart recycling goals, as those loads are not subject to waste

dumping rules, such as Metro’s new ban on disposal of food waste.

E nv i ro n m e n t Minister Mary Polak in October rejected the proposed ban but named MLA Marvin Hunt to review whether some form of regulation is required to control waste flows.

Hunt is expected to report back with recommendations in the coming weeks.

Critics have accused Metro of simply trying to keep waste in-region to feed a planned new incinerator and hope a final provincial decision will be the nail in the coffin of its wasteto-energy agenda.

Some industry players also believe Metro has exaggerated the threat of garbage ex-

ports, which they predict will be less viable now that the dollar’s drop from par to 85 cents has made it more expensive to use U.S. landfills. “Fifteen per cent is a heck of a swing,� said Ralph McRae, chair of NorthWest Waste Solutions, which does not haul outside the region. “That’s got to make it less economic.�

B e l k o r p Environmental vicepresident Russ Black suggested haulers who are still shipping to the U.S. are now “doing it out of stubbornness, not out of profitability.�

Metro solid waste general manager Paul Henderson agreed haulers’ profit margins are likely getting thinner, but said that hasn’t yet translated into any drop in how much garbage is shipped out, bypassing Metro transfer stations.

Black said Metro could cut its tipping fee to become more competitive and recapture some of the garbage business it’s been losing to the U.S. Belkorp wants approval to build material recovery facilities – plants that break open garbage bags and separate out the recyclables that would otherwise be landfilled or incinerated – and Black said he made his case for the technology in a recent meeting with Hunt.

The Surrey MLA was an outspoken supporter of waste-to-energy back when he was a Surrey councillor on the Metro board.

Black said Hunt still seems to support incineration but was open-minded, particularly to private-sector solutions.

Black maintains there are limits to how far people will go to separate out their recyclables and food scraps, and also to the region’s ability to enforce its bans on dumping them.

He said Belkorp’s proposed NextUse plant in Coquitlam would offer a last pass at extracting recyclables that would otherwise be garbage. “We think that’s a better idea than burning the bag,� he said, referring to Metro plans to build a new waste-to-energy plant that may cost $500 million. “Our option is much more cost-effective because it’s private sector risk capital.�

Even if Metro reaches an ambitious target of 80 per cent recycling, he said at least half of the remaining garbage would still be recyclable or compostable.

Belkorp also operates the Cache Creek Landfill, which Metro intends to stop using, and regional politicians claim the company’s real agenda is to hang onto its garbage business by undermining waste-to-energy.

Real estate gains strongest for detached houses in 2014 Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Lower Mainland real estate prices recorded modest to strong gains in 2014, with detached houses generally rising faster than townhouses or condos.

Year-end statistics released by the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley real estate boards show benchmark detached houses on average gained 6.7 per cent over the past year.

Those increases ranged from more than 10 per cent in Vancouver, Tsawwassen and Burnaby to less than five per cent in West Vancouver, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam, Langley, Abbotsford, Mission and parts of Surrey.

The increases pushed the benchmark price of houses above $1 million for the first time in Burnaby and for the Greater Vancouver area as a whole.

Benchmark house prices across the Fraser Valley area, which includes Surrey, White Rock and North Delta, ended the year at $573,100.

Benchmark prices show the shifts of a typical property and exclude the most expensive ones that can skew average prices much higher.

Price increases were more muted for townhouses and condos across the region.

Townhouses or attached homes averaged a 2.6 per cent gain across the Lower Mainland, with the strongest gains of more than seven per cent recorded in Maple Ridge, North Delta, Squamish and Vancouver’s west side.

Benchmark townhouse prices were $293,500 in the Fraser Valley and $476,000 in Greater Vancouver.

Condo prices dropped in value in several areas in 2014, with the Fraser Valley benchmark down 0.8 per cent and the biggest drops of nearly 10 per cent in Maple Ridge and North Surrey.

Greater Vancouver condos gained 3.5 per cent on average.

Benchmark condo prices ended the year at

$191,100 for the Fraser Valley and $380,700 for Greater Vancouver.

The December 2014 statistics provided by realtor associations are different from the just-released home assessments, which are conducted

by BC Assessment and are intended to provide a valuation snapshot as of each July 1.

the Abbotsford Airport to take in free flights, hands-on aerospace activities, and civilian and non-civilian pilots will be on hand with aircraft to explore.

The entire event is free. “We’re not taking the event away from Langley; rather, we needed a larger venue to support the size of the event, as well as long runways for the really cool aircraft we have planned for the static display this year,” said Brazier.

“Another benefit is that it exposes repeat participants to other airports – kind of like what a pilot experiences.”

Brazier said the Langley event was “awesome” and supported by many in the community.

“Many of the volunteers will be helping us again in Abbotsford, including MP Mark Warawa and his wife,” she said.

Despite poor weather the first day, hundreds of females took to the skies in Langley for the first time in their lives.

Out of 24,505 professional pilots in Canada, only 1,356 of them are women.

Out of 19,601 aircraft engineers, only 560 of them are women. Less than three per cent of the technical positions in the Royal Canadian Air Force, such as pilot or maintenance technician, are held by women.

B.C. provincial prisons remain overcrowded despite a decline in custodial sentences in recent years, and “safety and security incidents” have increased substantially, a report from B.C.’s auditor general has found.

About half the cells designed for one inmate are double-bunked in the B.C. system, and Auditor General Carol Bellringer concludes that is a contributing factor in maintaining safety in B.C.’s nine facilities for adult inmates.

Another factor in crowding is that about half of the roughly 2,500 inmates in the B.C. system on an average day are awaiting trial or sentencing.

Safety and security incident reports have been on the rise in most facilities in recent years, with the highest rate of nearly 1,200 a year at Fraser Regional Correctional Centre in Maple Ridge.

Nanaimo and Prince George both recorded nearly 800 incidents a year by 2012, with lower rates at Vancouver Island, Surrey Pretrial, North Fraser Pretrial and Kamloops.

(The medium-security Matsqui Institution in Abbotsford and the medium- and minimumsecurity Mission Institution are not covered in the report, as they are federal prisons – for inmates serving sentences of two years or longer.)

The auditor’s report says one reason for the increase is that incidents are being reported and tracked on a more systematic basis.

Bellringer also notes that there isn’t a clear definition of what constitutes a safety and security incident, and B.C. Corrections doesn’t have a target of what constitutes an acceptable level.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said conditions in B.C. prisons are improving thanks to a $185 million construction program, including an addition to Surrey Pretrial, a new women’s wing at Prince George and expansion of Alouette Correctional Centre for Women.

A new 300-cell Okanagan adult custody facility at Oliver is under construction and expected to open in 2016.

Anton said that extra space will alleviate the space shortage at other facilities, but it remains to be seen if the new prison will allow the removal of tent-like temporary structures that have housed low-risk inmates at Kamloops and Fraser in recent years.

The audit also questioned the availability and effectiveness of rehabilitation programs offered in B.C. prisons. The audit found that only one program, violence prevention, was evaluated and shown to reduce the likelihood of reoffending.

The five core programs operated in B.C. provincial prisons are: Q respectful relationships, to help inmates understand and eliminate abusive behaviours; Q substance abuse management, to reduce relapse and develop healthier lifestyles; Q violence prevention, designed to reduce aggressive behaviour; Q emotional management for women; and Q relationship skills for women.

Correctional centres also offer life skills, vocational, literacy and school extension programs. All programs are voluntary, and with an average sentenced stay of 71 days, some inmates aren’t in custody long enough to complete studies even if they want to.

Plants in the glass Gardening Brian

Minter

As we look to add some warmth and colour in our homes after the bright and cheery Christmas season, there is a new style of plant decor sweeping the world.

Aeriums are glass containers – balls, baubles, vases and hangers – filled with easyto-care-for indoor plants, like tillandsias, succulents and other fun and carefree tropicals. They are all the rage.

Aeriums need some indirect window light to ensure quality growth but that’s

about it. All you truly have to do is mist tillandsias and air plants with warm water once a day or for succulents, simply check to see if the media in which they are growing is somewhat moist.

In a glass environment, resilient tropicals just need a bit of misting or a moisture check once a week.

It’s really that simple!

I love the fact they are equally at home on a windowsill, coffee table, desk or any convenient place in your home or office. They can also hang in windows, from the ceiling or from decorative light fixtures.

The old terrarium look has been taken over by larger clear glass vases and bowls containing a single specimen plant displayed with artistic flair. All that’s needed is a bit of well-drained

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

Payton August 14, 2014

2014 Baby Face A special tribute to our newest residents –

THE BABIES OF 2014.

Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent.

Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home.

Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold.

This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-

served for the real estate agents and their clients.

This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home.

To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811.

This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

Make sure your 2014 addition is included in this treasured keepsake.

All babies who appear in this feature will receive a special personalized placemat as a keepsake and one free Sign, Say & Play class at Sticky Hands ($25 value). Also, each family will be entered in a draw for a single $25 Gift Certificate from the following local businesses: Howard Wong Farms, Me~n~Eds, Discovery Toys, M & M Meats, Rendezvous Restaurant (Immel location) and Sticky Hands.

decor.

For a very “in” look, heart-shaped anthuriums, with their beautiful foliage and vibrant blossoms, can have the soil carefully washed off, revealing colourful white and pink roots, and when placed in a clear glass vase of water, they can look beautiful for months.

Peace lilies (spathiphyllum) don’t perform quite as well, but they too look great displayed this way. Hardy water plants, like water rushes (Jucus effusus), do very well in household situations.

Both the straight and curly forms can expose their attractive white roots in a clear glass container of water.

This whole new trend of introducing beautiful plants in glass containers is catching on, not only because they look unique but also because the care they require is minimal.

Folks who previously had difficulty with indoor plants can now relax and enjoy.

Almost all of these aeriums are self-contained, fit into spots where traditional plants can’t and are tidy and clean.

They are a lot of fun, and many garden stores now carry them for you to try. A variety of clear glass containers are also available if you’re feeling particularly creative to plant your own.

Aeriums are a nice and easy way to add warmth and life into your winter home.

Time to Walk for Memories Annual event raises funds and awareness This year’s Investors Group Walk for Memories on Sunday, Jan. 25 is dedicated to Susan and Boyd Wylie.

The couple, married since 1978, have both experienced the loss of their mothers to dementia: Boyd’s mom, Audrey Wylie, to Alzheimer’s disease, and Susan’s mother,

Joyce Richards, to the vascular form of the disease. Boyd, a single child, and Susan, with a brother and an aging father, were key caregivers as their mom’s health declined.

Boyd first connected with the Alzheimer Society of B.C. in 2008 for information to better understand his

mother’s diagnosis.

He and Susan later became founding members of an adult kids’ support group in Langley.

They volunteer at numerous local events by distributing information. This year’s Walk for Memories for Langley, Aldergrove and Abbotsford takes place

Lifewriting seminars at the MSA Museum Over the next few months, the MSA Museum Society in Abbotsford is offering a series of lifewriting seminars designed to help aspiring memoirists, lifewriters, and family historians in the Fraser Valley.

The first event in the Lifewriting Made Easy program is a free twohour information session on Saturday, Jan. 31 that provides an overview of the planning, writing, editing, and designing process along with a question- andanswer session.

Subsequent seminars include a threehour session on book design and production ($30, Feb. 14), an allday seminar on writing ($60, Feb. 28), and a three-hour session on interviewing family members and friends ($30, March 7).

The seminars will be held at the MSA Museum Society (Trethewey House) at 2313 Ware St. Parking is free and pre-registration is mandatory.

“Last autumn we sponsored two seminars, which were packed,” said Dorothy van der Ree, executive director of the MSA Museum Society.

“The feedback we received from the participants was overwhelmingly positive, and so we have decided to expand the program.

It’s our hope that these seminars will help equip people with the necessary skills to successfully record and preserve their stories.

They’re all part of our collective memory.”

Leading the seminars is Abbotsford writer/

editor/personal historian Philip Sherwood, whose company – lifewriters.ca – specializes in helping individuals, families, organizations and communities tell and preserve their stories in book form.

In addition to the

seminars, the MSA Museum Society offers other services to lifewriters.

These include free one-on-one consultations, a list of do-ityourself resources, and several fee-based services.

For more information about the seminars and to register and receive a syllabus, contact the museum at 604-853-0313, email info@msamuseum.ca, or visit msamuseum. ca.

On target for Cdn. Winter Games Yale student Jarod Algra wins pair of golds at provincial biathlon event Yale secondary student Jarod Algra looks to have a good shot at the 2015 Canada Winter Games.

After being named to Team BC in biathlon for the Winter Games, Algra recently competed at BC Cup #1 in Quesnel in early January and returned home with a pair of gold medals in the youth men (17-18 years old) category.

He won gold in the 12.5-km Individual competition with a final ski time of 41:52 while shooting 17 of 20 targets. In the 7.5-km Sprint competition, Algra finished the race in 25:50 and hit eight out of 10 targets, taking his second gold.

Algra trains with West Coast Nordic Club and usually practices at the Cypress and Whistler Olympic Parks but the late snowfall this season has presented a challenge. “We’ve been travelling to Vernon since the end of November for snow so

we can get on skis,” he said.

When Algra competed at the Canada Winter Games trial races in Canmore, Alta., in the beginning of December he was the fastest B.C. male athlete in his category.

The Canada Winter Games occurs once every four years. B.C. is allowed to send a team of eight biathlon athletes (four men and four women), ranging in age from 17 to 20.

“I know I will be competing against older, more experienced athletes, the very best biathletes across the country, said Jarod, “but I’m pretty excited as it’s a once in a life time opportunity and experience.”

The BC Team will be training this weekend at the CWG Venue in Prince George. “It’s important for us to train together at this training camp,” said Algra, “as one of the races at the Canada Winter Games will be a 3 x 7.5-km relay.”

TUCKER IS CELEBRATING THE NEW YEAR WITH AMAZING SAVINGS! Start out your New Year with a New Ride!

The Canadian National Wakeboard Championships will be coming to Abbotsford’s Walmsley Lake Aug. 20 to 23.

“We are looking forward to seeing all the pro athletes from across Canada make their way back to Abbotsford” says Canadian Wake Committee director and long-time wakeboarder Sean Fleming in a release on Wake Canada’s website.

“Abbotsford was one of the original locations of the pro wakeboard tour in the late ‘90s. The glass conditions from [Walmsley] lake and access to B.C.’s only straight-line wake park will make for an exciting event.”

More than 150 athletes from across Canada are expected to attend, including several international pro riders.

Hadwin named top Canadian golfer in 2014 Fellow Ledgeview alum Nick Taylor finishes 29th at Tournament of Champions Abbotsford’s Adam Hadwin has been named Canada’s top male golfer for 2014, edging out fellow Ledgeview alum Nick Taylor and Graham DeLaet.

Hadwin finished last year as the money leader on the Web.com Tour – the golf circuit one level below the PGA Tour – and won two tournaments.

He and Taylor earned PGA Tour cards this year and are in the field at the Sony Open in Hawaii, which teed off Thursday (first-round scores were not available at press time).

In a conference call with reporters Wednesday from Hawaii, where he sat poolside in shorts and a T-shirt, Hadwin reflected on his award-winning year.

“It’s an exciting time in Canadian golf and I’m proud to be a part of it.”

Hadwin also praised the Vancouver Golf Tour, where he played when he turned pro in 2009, as a training ground that helped prepare him and develop his game.

“These guys can play,” he said. “That really helped prepare me for the following year when I got Canadian Tour status.”

Abbotsford Panther Chase Claypool defends against Keenan Adams-Barausse of Robert Bateman during Wednesday’s tournament opener.

The Snowball Classic Basketball Tournament began Wednesday, with the host Abby Senior Panthers, B.C.’s No. 1-ranked AAA team, knocking off their crosstown rival, the AAA No. 8-ranked Bateman Timberwolves, 68-57 before a boisterous crowd of students.

“It was a great game,” said Abby coach Prentice Lenz, who said the atmosphere inside the gym was electric.

Along with Abby and Bateman, the other B.C. schools participating in this year’s Snowball include Burnaby South (No. 1 AAAA), Kelowna, Brentwood College, St. George’s, Yale, MEI, WJ Mouat, Walnut Grove and Kitsilano.

Fairfax High School from Los Angeles is the guest team at the tourney. The Lions are currently top-ranked in the U.S. and they have won the Snowball tourney twice before (2011, 2013).

The tournament continues all day Friday and into Saturday, with the championship game starting at 8 p.m.

Raising money for Canuck Place The inaugural Gift of Love Gala on Saturday, February 7 the children and families on our program has great meaning for our supporters. No matter whether you are on this Earth for a short or long length of time, celebrating life is about the people around you and the memories you create,” says McNeil.

On Saturday, Feb. 7, CPCH is hosting the inaugural Gift of Love Gala at Ramada Plaza Abbotsford Hotel and Conference Centre – a key event to raise money for their programs and resources at their two hospice locations: Vancouver and Abbotsford.

“At Canuck Place, we work hard to make the time children and families have together and their journey the most memorable possible.”

Canuck Place relies on the support of the community. With your time and investment at the Gift of Love Gala, CPCH will continue providing children and families with the critical care and support needed to overcome the challenges of life-threatening illness.

Margaret McNeil, Canuck Place chief executive officer, says guests can expect an evening filled with entertainment, live and silent auctions, and dancing.

“We are thrilled to have Riaz Meghiji from CityTV Breakfast Television Vancouver host the evening,” says McNeil. “The highlight of the evening will be when one of our families share their stories. It brings the room together around a common thread and purpose: How do we live in this moment and live it well with a loving heart?”

This year, Canuck Place is celebrating 20 years of providing critical care for children and their families.

“The gala will bring together more than 300 donors, partners, sponsors and supporters of Canuck Place and celebrate living in the

moment,” says McNeil. “All funds raised at the Gift of Love will support the delivery of specialized pediatric palliative care for 560+ children and families facing life-threatening illnesses across British Columbia.”

The staff and volunteers at CPCH understand the importance of fostering a

place of comfort and courage, which is why they focus on the quality of time a child has with their family.

“The illness and death of a child is lifealtering for families, and a journey no family wants to travel alone. That is why Canuck Place exists. What we learn from

Canuck Place in Abbotsford is located on the Dave Lede Campus of Care on Marshall Road next to Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

The facility completed construction in December 2013 and began offering community-centred services in spring 2014.

The 20,000 sq.ft. $13 million facility is slated to have all its services fully operational by 2017.

A wardrobe that has staying power Glamorous models strut their stuff at fashion shows around the world, and many men and women hope to emulate the latest styles debuting on the runway. No matter what Stella McCartney, Burberry or Phillip Lim is showcasing this season, outfitting a wardrobe means blending trendy pieces with items that will stand the test of time.

A closet filled with trendy clothes may find you catching eyes this season, but come next season you may regret breaking the bank for a new wardrobe that is already outdated. A better approach may be to purchase some classic pieces before embellishing them with current looks.

or soft, jersey pants, are items to include in any woman’s wardrobe. These staples are easy to pair with some winter trends as you look to put your most fashionable foot forward.

To recreate the “mod squad” trend that is growing in popularity, pair a skirt with a turtleneck or mock-neck sweater and kneehigh boots. Each piece can be worn separately with other accessories should the

mod look fall out of style down the road.

Tomboy looks were another runway trend at recent fashion shows. Wider-cut “boyfriend” jeans, oxford shoes and boxy blazers can make it look like you borrowed items from your favourite guy without investing too much in over-thetop looks.

An easy way to make any outfit look more hip is to pair it with sneakers. From

dresses to blazers to slacks, sneakers peeking out below can add street credibility to any look. Sneakers add a touch of whimsy to even the most conservative items in your closet.

Investing in a good pair of sneakers will also serve you well as you head to the gym or take a lunch-hour stroll.

Fashion trends come and go, but with practice anyone can find a blend of pieces that will provide bang for your buck for years to come.

MEN Every man should own a classic, well-tailored suit. It pays to spend a little more money now on a suit that will last. Make sure it fits well by having a tailor adjust hems and sleeve lengths accordingly. Swimming in an oversized suit or squeezing yourself into a suit that’s too small won’t provide the look you’re going for, so find a suit that fits you right so your investment pays off when the time comes to look dapper.

This season’s fashion trends lean heavily on knits. Cable knits and Fair Isle sweaters will always have their place, but more mock turtlenecks and oversized pieces are showing up. Knits can be worn ito the office over button-down shirts or paired with distressed jeans and boots for a casual night on the town.

Tartan plaid, made popular in the Scottish Highlands, is trending in women’s fashion this season, but it’s also a look men can achieve quite easily. A tartan plaid tie is a statement piece that can brighten up any wardrobe without overwhelming it. Checks, gingham and plaids are back in a big way, but it’s best to use them in moderation.

THE

DISH

Coconut Lemongrass Baked Chicken Chef Nathan Hyam, who regularly teaches Thai cooking classes at the market adapted this recipe from one he first tasted at a small roadside café on the way to a village near Chang Mai. The chicken was cooked over a slow charcoal fire but he adapted it for the oven so it would be more practical for Canadians. I love ordering lemongrass chicken in a Thai restaurant, but lemongrass is an ingredient that’s often hard to find. I’ve been very impressed with the new deSiam Lemongrass Paste we’ve found, and Chef Nathan gives it a two-thumbs.

The best flavour is achieved by marinating for a longer time. This simple recipe can be used with any cut of chicken but I find that the thighs have more flavour and moisture than chicken breasts.

The Farmer and the Foodie Poet Rainer Maria Rilke wrote “And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been”. Each January these words ring true for me as we make new goals, face new challenges and adapt and grow with the farming and retail world. The transition from being a stay-at-home farm wife to operating the market with an expanding team of people has stretched me beyond what I could have ever imagined when we planned for our “little produce and meat market”. And yet waiting behind each door we have tentatively cracked open have been rewarding new relationships and the satisfaction of a dream realized and hard work rewarded.

If a looming situation that awaits you in 2015 seems too large to

tackle, let me suggest you start small by challenging yourself to introduce an exotic new ingredient into your cooking repertoire. Lemongrass is a beautifully fragrant tropical grass used extensively in Asian cooking and gives this recipe from our favorite Thai Chef Nathan Hyam its distinctive citrusy flavour.

And if this small victory gives you the courage to further experiment with exotic flavours, then join us at the market as Chef Nathan teaches cooking classes focusing on Thai cuisine, the list can be found at leppfarmmarket.com/ cooking-classes. Success breeds confidence, and sometimes we just need to start with small victories before we’re courageous enough to move on to big ones!

Keep on track with your New Year’s resolutions DR. JACQUES WEST

MEDIMAX MEDICAL CENTERS

Lose weight, exercise more and eat less junk food: these seem to be the most common New Year’s resolutions.

Although these seem simple enough to achieve, it can be difficult to make the right choices. Here are a few simple strategies to help keep you on track.

The first trick is to eat more often!

Eating high-density, clean meals in smaller portions throughout the day will help boost your metabolism.

Try to eat five to six meals per day, once every three hours. Optimally, eat your first meal within the first 30 minutes of waking up. This will kick start your metabolism for the day.

People often ask me “What should I eat?” The answer is very straight forward, “eat God’s food”, if it grows on a tree, it is good!

Eat between eight to twelve fruits

and vegetables per day, consuming one or two portions every three hours.

It is also important to eat enough protein. The following is listed by “Men’s Health” as the top 11 protein sources:

trick is to plan ahead and stock your fridge and cupboards with healthy nutritious food.

Be sure to include exercise into your new regimen. Strive to exercise least 4 times a week, totalling a minimum of 1. Hemp seeds 150 minutes.

2. Edamame Hydration is of the utmost impor3. Plain Greek yogurt tance. Based on approximately 50 lbs 4. Low fat ricotta cheese per litre, women should drink approx5. Low fat cottage cheese imately 2 litres per day and 3 litres per 6. Quinoa day for men.

7. Grass-fed beef Sleep is also vital, try to get between 8. Shrimp 8 to 10 hours each night.

9. Precooked chicken sausages If you eat well, and exercise regu10. Eggs, egg whites larly, you can reward yourself with a 11. Protein smoothies or shakes Aim to include one protein source per cheat day! Once a week indulge in all the foods and snacks you feel deprived meal or snack.

If we know we have to eat every three of. This will continue to remind you of hours, it is much easier to pace our- how good and healthy you feel when selves and eat smaller portions. The you make healthy choices!

HOME LIFE

Granite countertop alternatives Granite is the most popular countertop material for homeowners looking to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal in their kitchens. But granite is no small investment, and homeowners looking to refurbish their kitchens should know there are a multitude of countertop materials to choose from to suit every style and budget.

MARBLE Marble tends to be less expensive than granite without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. However, marble is softer and more porous than granite, so it can stain and be etched. Diligence in wiping away spills, routine sealing and a gentle touch will be necessary.

SOAPSTONE This is a natural stone composed mainly of mineral talc that gives the stone its

smooth feel. Soapstone ranges from black to gray but can sometimes have a green shade to it. Other materials in the stone can produce veining. Although softer than granite, soapstone is still high-density and will hold up well. It’s impervious to stains and bacteria, and exposure to chemicals will not damage it.

RY Servin g the V all fo r o v e r 4497 y e e y a rs

QUARTZ:

was big enough for a bowl of water.

Please note, Mr Chevy.

Having the navigation system was great as getting to our destination was a little tricky, and finding our way in the dark could have been a minor trial.

Our friendly ‘nav-lady’ delivered us easily. I especially liked getting plenty of warning about upcoming turns.

Some navigation systems instruct you to turn at the very last moment, which is not helpful. Often our ‘nav-lady’ gave us two warnings sometimes even three ‘turn left in 250 metres’, ‘turn left in 100 metres’. Believe me it was comforting. All the places we wanted to visit parks, malls, trails and shops were easily found with no hassles.

In Tacoma, a third dog joined us for adventures around town – Beau, a large

yellow lab. Everyone knows labs are eternal puppies who enjoy good times no matter where they land. This happy boy landed in the cargo area with the other two and still there was plenty of room for all three dogs with nary a complaint about someone’s paw being on someone’s side.

It all made for a fun Christmas celebration with lots of treats, even for my backup navigator Patricia and myself.

Next year, the ‘kids’ are holding out for a Cadillac!

Black ice can form unexpectedly on the road in the winter and may not be visible. If you drive over black ice and start to skid, ease off the accelerator – don’t brake – and look and steer smoothly in the direction you want to go. You may need to repeat this maneuver.

Not the Volvo your parents remember

‘‘

Polestar is evocative, sexy, incredibly agile and designed to satisfy with every ride.

Alexandra Straub

’’

There are a few schools of thought when it comes to writing down your to-do lists.

One argument says that writing lists causes the brain to get lazy; therefore, it doesn’t retain information as easily because it knows there is a backup somewhere.

Another suggests that highly effective people write lists because when they scratch their tasks off, it creates positive reinforcement and motivates individuals to continue to work hard. Call my brain lazy but I love writing lists.

It seemed only natural to have such a list while the Volvo’s performance version of V60 sportwagon was in my garage. The V60 Polestar

is evocative, sexy, incredibly agile and designed to satisfy with every ride. Yes, this is a Volvo.

Those not familiar with the tuning division of Volvo, their roots go back to 1996 when they started working with the Swedish brand in regards to motorsports.

Since then, they’ve helped develop not only trackworthy competitors, but also street cars.

Clad in a Rebel Blue robe, our time together would not be for eternity, but the memory will recall the experience without need of a list!

Here are just a few things that I felt inspired to do with the 345 horsepower V60.

1) Have fun.

2) Find some snow and play in it.

3) Paint my toenails the same colour as its exterior.

You know, because it’s what all the cool kids are doing.

4) Impress first-time Volvo passengers with its competency.

5) Make a Polestar joke (or many) and see how many people laugh at my sharp wit.

6) Make use of its 692L cargo capacity.

7) Accelerate quickly. Make

someone’s day.

And the list could go on . . .

The Lower Mainland doesn’t experience the wrath of winter as other parts of Canada do. Regardless, this V60 warmed up in a flash.

Minutes into my drive the heated seats in full swing, the heated steering wheel toasting my fingers, and the hot air blowing out of the vents. The Swedes know cold and how to keep it outside.

The car’s handling prowess can be attributed to its front and rear Öhlins Shock Absorbers, MacPherson front and multilink independent rear suspension. This V60 gives you the confidence you’d like in turns while having a blast and making sure occupants are comfortable.

As for playing in the slippery and the snow, count on Volvo’s Haladex Four-Wheel Drive System to distribute power to the wheels that are in need of it the most.

Add in razor-sharp steering and running errands just doesn’t feel like a chore anymore.

Then there’s what really gets the party started. Under its hood is a 3.0L, turbocharged T6 engine that produces the aforementioned 345 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Torque is harnessed as low as 2,800 rpm and then delivered via a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Paddle shifters also come as standard equipment. If there were to be more of a kick while accelerating quickly, that would be welcome, but not necessary.

Speaking of acceleration, getting up to 100km/h from zero takes a mere 4.9 seconds. Getting you back to zero is made possible by using Polestar’s 14.6inch ventilated front discs matched with six-piston Brembo calipers with 11.8inch ventilated discs in the rear.

The only real drawback of the Polestar, I found, was its turning radius. Tight turns at low speeds wasn’t ideal, but if you need a three or four-point turn to get into the mall’s cramped parking stalls, so be it.

At the end of our test time together, I’m happy to report that I checked off all the items on the list. If the universe unfolds in my favour, we shall meet again.

The Volvo V60 Polestar is available in limited quantities and has an MSRP of $66,895.

RADIATORS

F150 has been the bestselling truck sold in Canada for the last four years.

Customers may not have asked for an aluminum body, instead of steel, but there’s solid reasoning behind this change.

Aluminum reduces body weight by 40 to 50 per cent. It’s more resistant to corrosion issues and it’s 100 per cent recyclable. In addition to fuel efficiency benefits, a lighter vehicle also has positive influences on braking, handling, ride and acceleration.

A special heat treatment, developed by Ford, nearly doubles (compared to steel) the strength of the military grade aluminum (magnesium) alloy body panels used in the new F150, making them more resistant to dents. Much of the raw aluminum also comes from Canada, as does a good portion of the secondary processing.

Ford’s experience with aluminum body parts actually goes all the way back to the 1915 Model T. In 2009 it secretly built an aluminum body F150, for test purposes, and Ford engineers have also been able to draw from experience in developing current production vehicles such as the all-aluminum body Jaguar XJ.

SELF SERVE

The BMW i3 and i8 are two new all-electric vehicles with ultra-light-weight bodies made from Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). strong and it’s about 30 per cent lighter than aluminum.

This is the first time that the entire body of a production car has been made with a carbon fiber compound.

CFRP is a composite material consisting of carbon fiber surrounded by a plastic matrix (resin).

It’s completely resistant to corrosion and is expected to have a substantially longer useful life than metal. It also remains stable under all climatic conditions, according to BMW, even when it’s exposed to large temperature fluctuations.

Carbon Fiber is not a new material to auto racing enthusiasts, where its exceptional strength and light weight make it an ideal body material. CFRP has also been used to make trunk lids, roofs and even drive-shafts in the sporty M Series models by BMW.

consumption is incredibly low, at just 8.0/ 7.5/ 7.7 L/100km (city/highway/ combined).

The hybrid powertrain includes three electric motors, one up front and two in the rear, and they all provide both power assist and regenerative charge to a battery pack.

The gas engine is a 3.5-litre, 310-horsepower V6 with Variable Cylinder Management that’s linked with the 7-speed dualclutch transmission.

Acura’s super-handling allwheel-drive uses “torque vectoring” to create a “yaw moment” that helps the RLX turn effortlessly.

It functions like an enhanced differential that sends more power to the outside rear wheel during cornering. And, like magic, you’re a much better and smoother driver. The RLX’s sophisticated hybrid system can also allow it run strictly on battery power with the rear motors driving the vehicle.

Putting your truck on the level

by Ian Harwood

Your new truck looks great in front of your home, but why does the front sit lower than the back?

If you find yourself pondering this question, you are not alone. This “feature” is very common with the trucks of today, but there is a solution to this problem.

Revtek Industries was founded in 2000 to market unique Toyota suspension lift systems, but since those early days, the company has gone on to develop systems for the Ford Super-duty truck, the Ford F150’s, Ram, Jeep, Nissan Titan and the Toyota Tundra.

Suspension upgrades and improvements are becoming tougher and tougher to manufacture. The days when you could throw away your stock leaf-springs and stick in the largest leaf-spring you could find are over. Now you have to worry more about steering geometry and wheel-alignment specs.

Revtek offers a complete line of suspension systems designed to level your vehicle, and offer you the option to increase tire size.

ALL 2014s COME WITH CHEVROLET COMPLETE CARE: YEARS/40,000KM YEARS/160,000 KM YEARS/160,000 KM COMPLIMENTARY POWERTRAIN ROADSIDE ^ ^^ OIL CHANGES WARRANTY ASSISTANCE ^^

Most levelling systems maintain the original springs, so you can maintain a smooth ride.

In my view, Revtek has the most installer-friendly kits available and the manufacturer utilizes the best materials – billet aircraft aluminum (higher grade of aluminum with no imperfections), powder coated cast aluminum, and specialty polyurethane, which meet or exceed originalequipment specifications.

Whether you choose a complete lift, or just to level the front end, Revtek likely has a solution for

many of today’s most popular vehicles. Check out www.revtek. com.

If you are not happy with the overall ride height and not satisfied with just levelling the front-end then Pro Comp Suspension may be an alternative.

It has a full line of suspension lifts: you can raise your truck a few inches or all the way up to nosebleed levels.

One kit in particular is the 8.5inch for Ford Super Duty trucks.

This lift has enough clearance to clear 37-inch tires, and will cost

you $2,400 with shocks. With lift kits of this size, you should definitely make sure you make any necessary improvements such as a spacer kit to lower the carrier bearing on vehicles with two piece drive-shafts.

This will reduce high-speed driveshaft vibrations, and is well worth the investment of $60.

You should also consider a steering stabilizer to control those large tires bouncing down the road. There are a few options available from a single application or a double stabilizer setup, depending on the vehicle. Price $89 to $165.

consider with a lift of this size is a traction bar system to prevent wheel hop or axle wind up. In the old days, these bars would limit your wheel travel, but now the ends are equipped with reverse hourglass-shaped urethane bushings that allow the traction bar to flex for articulation.

The final upgrade to consider is the addition of stainless steel brake lines. Such brake lines not only give you the correct length required with these massive lifts, but also will not swell under increased braking pressure demanded by larger tires. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Benjie, 49, passed away quietly from natural causes on November 19, 2014. He was at his home with his faithful cat “Momma” by his side. He was born on March 22, 1965 in Ellensburg, Washington, where he lived for two years. His next two years were spent in Priddis, Alberta, before moving to Abbotsford.

Benjie grew up a very carefree child in the Arnold area, attending Upper Sumas Elementary, playing soccer, attending Boy Scouts, skiing and riding his motorcycle. He went on to Yale Junior and Abby Senior Secondary Schools. Most of his work life was first at Reid-Collins Nurseries and then at Linnea Nurseries where he was a hard-working and dedicated employee.

Benjie always had a keen interest in nature. He liked animals and had many pets, including ferrets and a chinchilla. His last cat was with him for 15 years. He even kept a hummingbird feeder on his deck and fixed it with a light for warmth. Benjie also enjoyed tending many plants on his balcony and especially working on his bonsais.

He was very mechanically inclined, inventive and creative, and was always working on projects like his giant chimes and climbing places for Momma. He also had a very keen sense of social justice and was a loyal friend to others. He was a kind and caring son to his mother who misses him dearly. Many sincere thanks to those who stuck

by Benjie in his difficult times.

Friends are invited to gather at 2963 Nelson Place, #57, on Saturday, January 24th from 1:30 to 3:30. If so wished, donations may be made to the SPCA or Salvation Army in memory of Benjie.

To join our team of professional drivers please send a resume and current drivers abstract to: careers@vankam.com or Fax: 604-587-9889 We thank all applicants for your interest!

Van-Kam is committed to employment equity and environmental responsibility.

On December 15, 2014, at both the 2700 block of Ware Street and the 34000 block of Green Avenue, both of Abbotsford, B.C., Peace Officer(s) of the Abbotsford Police Department seized, at the time indicated, the subject property, described as: a 2008 Mercedes ML320, BCLP: AD881N, VIN: 4JGBB22E18A434307, on or about 15:11 Hours (Ware Street), $5,610 CAD, on or about 11:40 Hours (Ware Street), $1,000 CAD, on or about 00:20 Hours (Green Avenue), and $5,000 located in safe, on or about 01:25 Hours (Green Avenue).

The subject property (Green) was seized because there was a warrant authorized by the court pursuant to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act of Canada (CDSA) to seize evidence in respect of offences under section 5(2) (Possession for purpose of trafficking) of the CDSA and was therefore offence-related property (ORP) pursuant to section 11 (Search, seizure and detention) of the CDSA. The subject property (Ware) was seized pursuant to the CDSA as ORP (vehicle) and/or

under warrant (money).

Notice is hereby given that the subject property, CFO file Number: 2014-2573, is subject to forfeiture under Part 3.1 of the CFA and will be forfeited to the Government for disposal by the Director of Civil Forfeiture unless a notice of dispute is filed with the Director within the time period set out in this notice.

A notice of dispute may be filed by a person who claims to have an interest in all or part of the subject property. The notice of dispute must be filed within 60 days of the date upon which this notice is first published.

You may obtain the form of a notice of dispute, which must meet the requirements of Section 14.07 of the CFA, from the Director’s website, accessible online at www. pssg.gov.bc.ca/civilforfeiture. The notice must be in writing, signed in the presence of a lawyer or notary public, and mailed to the Civil Forfeiture Office, PO Box 9234 Station Provincial Government, Victoria, B.C. V8W 9J1.
