Netting T attention

Justin BEDDALL Abbotsford News

Yale Hockey Academy gains national spotlight after two of its alumni suited up for Canada at world juniors

he Russians took a lot of hits during the gold-medal game of the 2015 world junior hockey championships. So did Yale Hockey Academy’s website.

“Our hits on our website were up 456 per cent on that day,” said Yale’s Billy Wilms, who started the school’s hockey academy in 2004.

“And 70 per cent of those hits were new visitors.”

The surge of online interest came after “Jake Virtanen’s Story” aired just before the start of the third period. The one-minute Canadian Tire feature focused on the positive impact Virtanen’s longtime coach at the Yale Hockey Academy, Brad Bowen, had on his career.

TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News

The fact that Shea Theodore, one of Virtanen’s teammates on Team Canada, had also graduated from the Yale academy, likely cast even more national attention on the hockey program in Abbotsford.

“Our stock is pretty high right now, given those two alumni and the success of our program,” Wilms said.

After the 5-4 Canada victory over Russia, Wilms texted Virtanen, who replied with a photo of himself and Theodore sporting big grins and gold medals.

Prior to the world juniors, Wilms would get one or two calls a week about the program at Yale; now he’s getting 15 to 20 inquiries weekly, some from as far away as Nova Scotia.

The program at Yale is a byproduct of the 1999 Molson Open Ice

January 23, 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.

Notice of Neighbourhood Information Meeting Proposed development of a new Fire Hall #4 for property located at 5775 Wallace Street

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 nonpickup 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.

Attention Trail Users and Park Patrons During wet and/or cool periods, walking surfaces can become very slippery. Please be cautious and ensure that you are adequately prepared for all weather conditions when using parks and trails. During periods of snow or heavy ice accumulations, please be aware of the potential for overhead hazards in treed areas, caused by falling snow, ice and tree limbs.

City Waste Collection During Extreme Winter Weather The City will make every attempt to collect curbside recycling, compostables and garbage during snow and ice conditions. However, safety is always the highest priority.

If weather conditions pose too high of a risk, we will not be collecting and ask that you set out your materials on your next collection day. The usual container limits will be doubled for areas that have missed a collection day. On some occasions the City, or its contractor, may provide additional collection as soon as possible after the missed collection day.

For more information, please see www.abbotsford.ca or call 604-853-5485 regarding CITY pickup or 604-864-5640 regarding CONTRACTOR pickup.

Public Notice Council Procedure Bylaw, 2015 Notice of Intent to Repeal Council Procedure Bylaw No. 2075-2011 and Replace with Bylaw No. 2500-2015 Pursuant to Sections 94 and 124 of the Community Charter, Council may not amend, repeal or substitute a Council Procedure Bylaw unless Council first gives notice of its intent to do so.

a flight to watch the academy’s U-18 team play at the Kelowna International Tournament.

It’s been a banner year for the Yale program – and not just at the world juniors.

The U-16 team won the Lakecity Invitational in Idaho and also captured bronze at the Richmond International.

In November, the U-18 Lions won the prestigious World Bauer Invitational in Chicago, defeating the No. 2-ranked Honeybaked 4-3 in the final.

“Yale, we just came out of nowhere, a public school from Abbotsford, B.C. wins the largest U-16 team in the world,” said Wilms.

That led to calls from a dozen or more NCAA schools.

At the Kelowna tourney, there were scouts at the

Summit that was held after a string of disappointing international results from Canadian hockey teams.

One of the 11 recommendations made to restore the country’s on-ice supremacy was to “promote co-operative efforts between school boards, local hockey associations and sponsors, to better utilize ice times and school facilities and move towards the development of school sports.”

At Yale, that began in 2004 with about 30 players enrolled in the new hockey program. “It was a mixed bag, we had some house players, some AAA players – all on the ice together and we worked on the skills all the way through,” Wilms recalled.

The program has evolved over the seasons and now boasts U-15, U-16 and U-18 high performance teams, as well as a skill development group for minor players. Next season a bantam program will be added. “[The Yale Academy] is a program that helps both elite hockey players, and players who are working on their personal hockey skill development,” said Yale principal Lance McDonald. “The program is a magnet for players across our district, and for some of our neighbouring districts.”

During the school week, players attend regular classes, as well as participate in on-ice practice and skill sessions and off-ice training sessions led by the program’s coaches and trainers at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre rink beside the school.

On the weekend they play games — more than 50 per season against other teams in the CSSHL (Canadian Sport School Hockey League).

“It’s a really fantastic system for deTYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News velopment,” said Wilms.

Witness says aggressive driving a contributing a factor One person is dead and another in hospital after a two-vehicle crash Thursday morning on Highway 1 in Abbotsford just east of the Whatcom Road exit.

According to RCMP Traffic Services, a witness reported an unsafe lane change and aggressive driving was a contributing factor in a collision between two vehicles heading west on Highway 1 around 5:45 a.m.

One of the vehicles, a dark-coloured sedan, entered the median, and the lone male occupant, who wasn’t wearing his seatbelt, was thrown from the vehicle and killed.

“Our thoughts go out to the family who lost their loved one this morning. The RCMP would like to remind the public of the importance of always wearing your seatbelt,” said Cpl. Ronda Rempel of RCMP Traffic Services.

The accident prompted the closure of a lane of westbound Highway 1 and caused significant traffic backups. The closed lane was re-opened around 11:30 a.m.

Millions for a charitable cause - or a card game Andrew

Holota

On Point In the last couple of days, close to three million dollars have been donated to the creators of the Exploding Kittens card game.

In the time it took me to write this column, the total increased by about $100,000.

Welcome to the world of crowdfunding, a red-hot online phenomenon that is revolutionizing the way individuals and organizations gain access to “free” money, for anything from a pizza recipe to cancer treatment ... to a deck of bizarre humour playing cards.

For the uninitiated, the concept might seem more than a bit far-fetched: Come up with an idea that requires funding. Design a simple campaign explaining what it’s about. Place it on an Internet platform. Wait for the money to roll in.

Pretty off the wall, right?

According to Wikipedia, in 2013, the crowdfunding industry generated more

than $5 billion worldwide.

That figure was bound to be far surpassed last year.

There are dozens of crowdfunding providers out there, with some of the largest being GoFundMe, Kickstarter and FundRazr.

The latter company, based in Vancouver, has helped raise over $52 million from over 45,000 campaigns in 37 different countries around the world.

Black Press, which owns this newspaper and many others, recently partnered with FundRazr to create BlackPress4Good.com, our own crowdfunding site focused on fundraising for causes in the communities in which we publish newspapers.

This week, I had an interesting chat with a communications person working for a major fundraising initiative who, of course, was looking to get media exposure for an iconic fundraiser.

We talked about the countless worthy causes that are out there, and people’s capacity to absorb and respond generously to

yet another story of a family in need, or a sick child requiring special medical treatment.

She acknowledged the difficulty of appealing for funding in this intensely crowded field, especially in the climate of a challenged economy.

Fundraising agencies know full well the key factor of “donor fatigue,” which is when the requests for funding simply overwhelms the pool of contributors.

She observed that organized fundraising is becoming increasingly “fractured,” with the emergence of more and more charitable causes and campaigns, all seeking public attention and support.

And into this heartfelt melee comes the Internet and crowdfunding – representing a light-year leap from local, regional or even global appeals by major agencies such as Red Cross, to any single project or cause that can tap into the worldwide online audience.

There is no question that a tremendous amount of good is being done via on-

line fundraising. Kids are getting medical help. Families are helped through the trauma and loss caused by fires and other catastrophes. Young people get a boost in their post-secondary education endeavours.

Locally, several campaigns are seeing success, including a wildlife rehabilitation centre that has generated thousands to help injured creatures.

The variety of online donating opportunities is utterly vast. And they are all dipping into a pool of available cash – albeit made fantastically larger and more complex by the global digital diaspora.

The crowdfunding phenomenon is heavily fuelled by social media, an environment in which there are few rules, and the ones that do exist can change tomorrow.

And in among all those laudable causes and campaigns and appeals for cash are quirky investment projects, such as a card game featuring exploding kittens, that can go viral in hours, generating millions of dollars for a few guys who are probably right now looking at their computer screens, watching something unfold beyond their wildest dreams.

Group discusses Gang Reduction Project Abbotsford MP Ed Fast met with key community stakeholders last Friday to discuss Abbotsford’s Comprehensive Community Action for Gang Reduction Project.

The crime-prevention initiative is entering its second year in Abbotsford and is aimed at helping at-risk youth.

“I am glad to see that our government’s funding has given Abbotsford the support it needs to engage at-risk youth in a meaningful way, giving them the tools and opportunities they need to steer clear of crime,” Fast said.

Fast announced in January 2014 that the project would be backed by $6.4 million in federal funding from the Youth Gang Prevention

Fund (YGPF).

Community partners involved in the five-year program are Abbotsford Community Services (ACS), the Abbotsford school district, the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) and the John Howard Society of the Lower Mainland.

Last week’s meeting focused on the Year One Community Assessment Report, giving a snapshot of community perspectives on gang and youth violence.

APD Chief Bob Rich commended the project.

“We have a long way to go, but we have started down the right road.

There is support for youth who need help in Abbotsford, and the federal government grant has helped us get this up and running.

MP Ed Fast (at head of table) and Police Chief Bob Rich (right) were among those attending a discussion last Friday.

Let’s turn the corner on this problem and help our young people be who they were meant to be,” he said.

Fast said the findings are intended to help ACS and the project steering committee “to identify program priorities and strategies to enhance collaboration between agencies and other community

stakeholders.”

The YGPF targets youth with a demonstrated history of serious violence and/or who are clearly at risk of joining gangs or are already in gangs.

The groups involved in the project are still in the discussion stages, and no specific projects have yet been developed in Abbotsford.

A 35-year-old Aldergrove man who has been behind bars for the murders of two sex trade workers, and is facing another murder charge in the death of an Aldergrove woman, made a brief appearance in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster on Thursday.

Davey Butorac will be back in court on March 5, when the jury is selected for his trial on a seconddegree murder charge in the death of Sheryl Korroll, 50, of Langley.

Her body was found dumped at a concrete plant in Langley City on July 7, 2007. DNA found in Butorac’s car and on his shoe led to his original conviction of murdering Korroll and Abbotsford’s Gwendolyn Lawton in March 2007.

Butorac was sentenced to 23 years in prison after a jury found him guilty of killing the two women, but in October 2013, he was granted new trials after winning an appeal of his conviction.

His lawyer successfully argued the murder charges should have been tried separately, and the B.C. Court of Appeal agreed.

Butorac is also charged in the second-degree murder of Aldergrove’s Margaret Redford, whose body was found floating in Bertrand Creek in Aldergrove on May 20, 2006.

No dates have been set for the trials.

Teacher wins local Art Battle

Vikki HOPES

Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford teacher won an art contest in Chilliwack on Friday.

Shannon Thiesen, a Grade 5 visual arts teacher at Abbotsford School of the Integrated Arts’ North Poplar campus, won the Art Battle 208 competition held at the Hampton Inn. Twelve local artists went head-to-head for the chance to win a cash prize and a spot at the regional finals in Vancouver.

Competitors had 20 minutes to create a piece of art, with the public deciding the winner.

Artists used acrylic paint, and the tools used were brushes, palette knives and other non-mechanical implements.

Half the artists competed in the first round, and the other half competed in the second round.

The top two from each segment then moved on to the final round. The audience then bid in a silent auction to take the work home.

Thiesen said she decided to enter the contest as part of her New Year’s resolution to “loosen up as an artist” because much of her work is “tight, realistic and detailed.”

She said she was also inspired by her students to show them that “creativity takes courage.”

The first piece she produced at the Art Battle was a heron, which she chose ahead of time but had to paint from memory.

Thiesen said she was caught off-guard when she made it to the final round, and painted the face of a woman. “(It was) completely imaginary and unplanned – instinctual,

if you will,” she said.

“I just put my knives and squeegee to the canvas and held my breath that something good would come out in 20 minutes. I was shocked to win, but very happy.”

If Thiesen does well at the regionals, she will advance to the provincials.

The exact dates for these competitions have not yet been released, but are tentatively scheduled for March and May. The competitions culminate in the national Art Battle in Toronto.

Chevron supports program for hungry kids

Now you’re smiling!

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A new initiative on the BlackPress4Good crowdfunding site is raising money for the Starfish Pack Program.

The initiative is being sponsored by Chevron in celebration of the opening of its new Whatcom Road location in Abbotsford.

The Starfish Pack Program provides a backpack each week to local kids who might otherwise go hungry on the weekends. The backpack is filled with two breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners.

There are currently 14 Abbotsford schools and 214 children participating in the program, with donated funds covering the food costs.

It costs $525 during each school year, or $52.50 per month, to provide the backpack to one child.

The program, originally called Blessings in a Backpack, was created by the Rotary Club of Abbotsford and is operated by the Abbotsford Food Bank.

The new initiative on BlackPress4Good invites people to make a donation of at least $52.50 to the Starfish Pack Program.

In exchange, they receive a $25 Chevron gift card that can be used at any of the 160 locations across B.C. A limited supply of 20 cards will be available until they run out.

Spokesperson Adrien Byrne said Chevron has an 80year history in B.C., and has a “broad social investment program with a focus across education, health and economic development issues.”

“The Starfish Pack Program is a great initiative that helps support hungry children in Abbotsford and can make a big difference

Chamber backs program that would encourage U.S. tourists to shop in Canada The Abbotsford chamber of commerce has written to federal finance minister Joe Oliver supporting a proposal to create a pilot project for a Road Travel Rebate Program (Road TRIP) as part of the 2015 federal budget.

The proposed tax rebate would encourage U.S. tourists to shop in Canada by allowing them to “take 5.”

American visitors travelling into and out of Canada through a land border crossing would be eligible for a rebate of 5 per cent (equal to the GST) on purchases made during their trip.

Applications for this

File photo

Under the proposed program, U.S. visitors travelling in and out of Canada via a land border crossing would be eligible for a 5 per cent rebate made on purchases. rebate would be available at participating Canadian duty free stores, located at land border crossings across the country. The rebate could then be spent at each crossing’s respective duty free store.

“This initiative

was brought to us by one of our members, Abbotsford Duty Free, on behalf of the Frontier Duty Free Association and its members across Canada,” said Allan Asaph, executive director of the Abbotsford

chamber. “With lower gas prices encouraging motor vehicle travel and the strong U.S. dollar now is the time for us to increase our efforts to encourage U.S. visitors to Canada.”

Asaph noted an economic study suggests that even under adverse conditions, the program would be revenue neutral and would more likely be revenue positive through government revenues generated from increased tourist visits and spending, sales through border community retailers and exports of Canadian-made goods sold at duty free shops.

Abbosford News

The musical theatre department at Robert Bateman secondary is presenting its most ambitious project since forming in 2012.

The school presents the full-length Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast on Feb. 6 and 7 at the Clarke Theatre (33700 Prentis Ave. in Mission).

Director Ray Dencer said the school’s previous two productions – Seussical in 2013 and The Little Mermaid last year – were both “junior� versions of the full-length shows, running about 75 minutes each.

At two and a half hours, Beauty and the Beast is twice as long and more challenging, with more lines to memorize, more songs to learn and more rehearsal time required. “The students wanted to a do a full-length production ‌ What they have found is it’s a lot more difficult than they thought,â€? he said.

The cast, composed of about 30 students in Grades 9 to 12, has been regularly rehearsing four days a week, with extra practices at lunch hours.

A 14-member pit band has also been busy rehearsing more than 20 musical pieces – including VIKKI HOPES Abbotsford News familiar Beauty and the Beast numbers such as Be Jessi Pomeroy (Maurice) and Amaris Henry (Belle) My Guest and the title song – under the direction rehearse for the Robert Bateman secondary producof Kris Werner. tion of Beauty and the Beast.

It’s all presented on a huge two-storey set that Dencer said “fills the stage.”

Beauty and the Beast transports the audience to the heart of provincial life in a lovely French town. When Maurice becomes lost in the woods on the way to the fair, he seeks shelter in an old castle, but the master of the castle is a horrible beast that takes him captive.

Maurice’s daughter, Belle, must then give up her freedom to save his life.

Belle’s taming of the unfortunate Beast and his ultimate transformation back into a handsome prince has enthralled Broadway audiences for more 13 years.

The Robert Bateman production features Meaghan McBryan and Amaris Henry sharing the role of Belle, while Dane Powroznik takes on the part of the Beast.

Other key roles are played by James Weststeijn (Gaston), Jessi Pomeroy (Maurice), Raychel Drader and James Campbell (Lefou), Isaiah Adachi (Lumiere), Kyle Keyworth (Cogsworth), Chelsie Lynn (Mrs. Potts), Taylor Schwartzenberger (Babette) and Katie Lusk (Chip).

Dencer said the musical is suitable for the whole family, and people are often surprised at the quality of the productions.

“High school kids can put on a pretty good show,” he said.

Public performances of the show take place Friday, Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 7 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door or through the Robert Bateman secondary office (35045 Exbury Ave., phone 604864-0220).

Artists invited for student exhibition Two local lawyers honoured

A pair of Abbotsford lawyers have been appointed the honorary title of Queen’s counsel (also known as Q.C.).

Gordon Douglas Taylor and Gurpreet Kaur Gill are among 32 lawyers across B.C. who have been given the designation, an honour conferred annually on members of the legal profession to recognize exceptional merit and contribution.

The successful candidates have been members of the B.C. bar for at least five years.

A call for Q.C. nominations was made in August, and the appointments were made by cabinet through an order in council.

Taylor is a partner with Taylor Tait Ruley and Company, with extensive civil trial experience in personal injury, insurance, estates and general litigation.

He taught customs and immigration law at the University of the Fraser Valley for over 20 years.

With deep family roots in Abbotsford, Taylor has been a director for over 30 years on the board of the Mount Lehman Community Association.

Gill is a self-employed barrister and solicitor with Gurpreet Gill Law Corporation.

She is a founding president of the Fraser Valley Criminal Law Association and a member of the South Asian Bar Association of B.C. She recently sat on the campaign executive committee for Canuck Place, supporting the construction of Dave Lede House in Abbotsford.

Gill has served on the boards of the Abbotsford International Airport Authority and the Fraser Health Authority.

Cancer fundraiser set to hit the slopes Third annual Slopes for Hope takes place on Feb. 8 at Hemlock Valley Resort

Brenda ANDERSON Black Press

Striking a blow in the fight against cancer can be as simple as strapping on a pair of skis and pointing them downhill.

And then doing it 21 more times.

The third annual Slopes for Hope fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society takes place at Hemlock Valley Resort on Sunday, Feb. 8.

The event is a great opportunity for Fraser Valley skiers and snow-

boarders to put together a team and enjoy the Family Day weekend, while doing their bit to help, said the Cancer Society’s Nicola Romaniuk.

Once again, Slopes for Hope participants are challenged to raise money — through pledges or lump sum donations — for the Canadian Cancer Society and then attempt to ski or board the vertical equivalent of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) — the world’s

highest peak — in a single day. At Hemlock, that translates to 22 runs which, for the purposes of the challenge, can be completed by a single person or divided among teammates.

Last year, two skiers accomplished the feat individually, said Romaniuk.

Speed demons and snow plowers are equally welcome, because both the hill and the event are suitable for every level of skier and snowboarder, she

said.

“You can challenge yourself if you want, or just get out and enjoy the day.”

Hemlock is one of five B.C. mountains hosting a Slopes for Hope fundraiser this year.

Locally, 45 people participated in last year’s event, raising $14,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. This year’s goal is $15,000.

Money raised at Hemlock will stay in the Fraser Valley to help pay for programs, including the society’s volunteer driver program, and sending kids to Camp Goodtimes, Romaniuk explained.

The cost to send a single child to camp is $1,500, but through fundraisers such as Slopes for Hope, the experience can be offered at no charge to local families who are dealing with a cancer diagnosis or treatment.

“If we raise $15,000, that sends 10 kids to camp.”

Among those hitting the slopes on Feb. 8 will be Langley’s Stirling Noyes, a twotime cancer survivor who attended Camp Goodtimes every summer, from age seven to 16.

Although he has fond memories of his summers spent at camp, Noyes doesn’t recall much about his first goround with cancer. He was just six years old when he was diagnosed with leukemia.

He does remember being sick and undergoing three years of chemotherapy, along with radiation treatment before he went into remission.

At 23, Noyes’s cancer returned. This time it was in his brain.

The graphic designer who lives in Walnut Grove was just minutes from getting into his vehicle and driving, he said, when he began feeling woozy — as though he was drunk.

“My wife said ‘sit down,’ and the next thing I knew, I was being loaded into an ambulance.”

He was admitted to Langley Memorial Hospital, and was alone in a washroom there when another seizure hit. This time he woke up at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. undergoing After

scans and an MRI, Noyes was diagnosed with type 3 astrocytoma — a brain tumour.

It was aggressive, but hadn’t metastasized.

Because the tumour — likely the result of radiation therapy he underwent during his treatment for leukemia — had spread throughout a section of his brain, it couldn’t be removed surgically, said Noyes.

Another 18 months of oral chemotherapy (pills) followed.

Noyes, now 30, has been in remission for a little over three years — a measure of time that is “a big deal” in cancer treatment, he said. He continues to take antiseizure medication.

This year marks the Langley man’s second time participating in Slopes for Hope.

On Feb. 8, he will ski as part of a team of five, which also includes his wife, brother, sister-inlaw and a friend.

“It will be lots of fun.

It’s a good day,” said Noyes. “It’s not hard.

You raise $100, you ski for the day.”

In addition to participating in the event, he has also put together a DVD presentation which will be shown at the event, and is using social media to promote Slopes for Hope.

“I’m a big proponent of research. It’s very important that money goes to research and to Camp Goodtimes, to help kids in my situation and to find a cure,” said Noyes.

“Stirling is the epitome of a Canadian Cancer Society volunteer,” said Romaniuk.

“It’s volunteers like Stirling who make our organization what it is.”

A minimum contribution of $100 earns Slopes for Hope participants a lift pass to ski all day, with the first lift going up at 8 a.m.

Prizes will be awarded for top fundraisers, including a two-night stay at Hemlock’s Snowflake Resort.

Equipment is available for rent on the mountain and participants are encouraged to jazz up their gear with crazy costumes.

Registration is now open. To participate, make a donation or find more information, go to slopesforhope.ca.

Abbotsford Celebrates

National Family Literacy Day If a picture’s worth a thousand words, we need to teach our children visual literacy.

Life today is exponentially more complicated and complex than it was 50 years ago. This is true for home life as much as it is for work life. In the 21st century, our society will require knowledge and technological literacy that go far beyond the basic information that was sufficient in the past.

In a world where tweets, SMS’s, and IM’s are used more than letters and phone calls, learning to extract meaning from verbal and visual images has become more important. Already we can see the need for kids to know how to react to and produce materials other than text. Images, audio, video and amalgamations thereof will become more and more common as means of expression.

thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, creativity and innovation. Skills that will prepare kids to meet the challenges of our rapidly, ever-changing world.

How can you help your child build these skills?

Your local art gallery, museum or archive is there to help. Studies have shown that experiencing

The Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford is open Tuesday through Sunday (Tues.-Fri.: 10AM-5PM, Thursdays open till 9PM, Sat. & Sun.: 12 – 5PM) and is located in downtown Abbotsford at 32388 Veterans Way. Admission to exhibitions is always FREE! Visit thereach.ca for information on upcoming exhibitions, events and classes.

So what is visual literacy? While there are many definitions of visual literary, in essence it means the ability to understand and produce visual images and to learn how images convey meaning.

Visual literacy is important in multiple ways. It helps kids better interpret imagery they come in contact with and it allows a deeper interaction with texts of all kinds whether it be an image, an image with text, or an image that accompanies text. It introduces the process of analytical thinking about representation and meaning. Visual literacy is integral to building skills that foster critical

for all ages. You can also bring your family to The Reach to experience the exhibitions without signing up for a class or attending an event.

Don’t worry - knowledge about art or history is not necessary. By discussing three simple questions with your children, you can help build these skills: What’s going on in this picture? What do you see that makes you say that? And What more can we find? It is about observing, thinking and discussing what you see.

Sheila Perry, Executive Director, The Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford art or history exhibitions improve critical thinking skills, encourage stronger historical empathy, and develop higher tolerance.

Abbotsford Libraries Help Families to Make Literacy Fun! Learning and reading are complex processes that begin at birth and last throughout our lives.

Outside of school, informal learning, especially in families, plays an enormous role in shaping our success as individuals. The Abbotsford Libraries, members of the Fraser Valley Regional Library, support people of all ages in their quest for lifelong learning – be it formal or informal.

Informal learning is experiences, information, and knowledge that we seek based on our own individual needs, interests and amusements.

Reading, a key skill for learning, must be learned and practiced. An important element of informal learning is that it does not have to have any particular goal in view and we can follow our own sense of fun or satisfaction.

The Abbotsford Libraries have books, newspapers, DVDs, CDs and a website that appeal to people of all ages to support learning and reading skills. Weekly storytimes for parents and children focus on modeling the joy and fun of reading to demonstrate the power of informal learning.

Along with other community organizations, the Abbotsford Libraries celebrate the annual Abbotsford Family Literacy Day Celebration with the theme, “15 Minutes of Fun”. We remind everyone that literacy and reading skills are not only important for success but lead to more fun, enjoyment and satisfaction in life.

National Family Literacy Day

Literacy Matters Abbotsford Family literacy development impacts every area of our lives: health, employment, economic status, and life opportunities.

Studies show that parents and caregivers who participate in family learning directly and positively affect the language and literacy development of their children. Even 15 minutes of reading a day can improve both a child and parent’s literacy skills dramatically!

Join Literacy Matters Abbotsford in celebrating Family Literacy Day by participating in their third annual Community Literacy Challenge, “Read What You Love” from January 25 – February 14, 2015. All you need to do is read for 15 minutes each day and complete your reading log. The reading challenge is open to all ages!

The Parenting Place at Abbotsford Community Services’ Family Centre is a multi-lingual resource and referral centre for families in our community offering a variety of programs and activities for parents, caregivers and their children from birth to six years of age. We want to help create a confident and healthy generation by encouraging families to learn together through creative play in a safe, fun, comfortable community environment.

Sharon Crowley,

In our early learning programs, promoting literacy and learning means supporting, encouraging and enhancing parent and child interactions while respecting existing strengths, and providing activities that create avenues for learning together.

Participants are encouraged to connect with one another to create a sense of belonging, be creative and explore activities together, and learn with one another in an environment that encourages diversity and social responsibility. We achieve this through our programming, whether it be

From preschool through grade 12, MEI provides students with a holistic education combined with BC curriculum, that focuses on developing the whole person — socially, intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically.

70 years later MEI schools stands on a foundation of tradition and excellence — maintaining a commitment to their founding mission of delivering high quality education encompassing distinct Christian values.

As we celebrate our history, we also dream of growing innovation locally and beyond.

We can only do this together with you.

School District data shows that 95% of successful graduates over the past five years were meeting or exceeding expectations in reading in Grade 3. On the other hand, only 60% of students who were not reading by Grade 3 graduated from high school. Reading matters.

The vision of a library came from discussion around getting Aboriginal children involved in the community’s Reading Buddy program and the realization that a space was needed.

So the work began. In partnership with the University of the Fraser Valley, Fraser Valley Regional Library, Abbotsford School District 34, and Literacy Matters Abbotsford, renovations to a room were made. Jay Havens, a local Aboriginal artist, was commissioned to paint a mural on the library walls. Shelving and furniture were purchased. Then, books were bought, sorted, and shelved. The library was officially opened December 2012.

Abbotsford Celebrates

National Family Literacy Day

Literacy Matters Abbotsford Family literacy development impacts every area of our lives: health, employment, economic status, and life opportunities.

Studies show that parents and caregivers who participate in family learning directly and positively affect the language and literacy development of their children. Even 15 minutes of reading a day can improve both a child and parent’s literacy skills dramatically!

Join Literacy Matters Abbotsford in celebrating Family Literacy Day by participating in their third annual Community Literacy Challenge, “Read What You Love” from January 25 – February 14, 2015. All you need to do is read for 15 minutes each day and complete your reading log. The reading challenge is open to all ages!

The Parenting Place at Abbotsford Community Services’ Family Centre is a multi-lingual resource and referral centre for families in our community offering a variety of programs and activities for parents, caregivers and their children from birth to six years of age. We want to help create a confident and healthy generation by encouraging families to learn together through creative play in a safe, fun, comfortable community environment.

More information about the upcoming event, community programs, resources, volunteer opportunities, and the activities of Literacy Matters Abbotsford can be found at their website - literacymattersabbotsford.com - or by contacting Sharon Crowley, Literacy Outreach Coordinator at literacymattersabbotsford@ gmail.com.

We offer a wide variety of programs in both English and Punjabi. Join us to learn the strategies, skills and activities to strengthen the physical, emotional, and mental health of children and their families. We also offer programs that engage adults with topics such as financial literacy, nutritional literacy, digital literacy, and community literacy.

Sharon Crowley,

In our early learning programs, promoting literacy and learning means supporting, encouraging and enhancing parent and child interactions while respecting existing strengths, and providing activities that create avenues for learning together.

Participants are encouraged to connect with one another to create a sense of belonging, be creative and explore activities together, and learn with one another in an environment that encourages diversity and social responsibility. We achieve this through our programming, whether it be

Literacy Outreach Coordinator, Abbotsford The kick off for this event will be a free pancake breakfast on Saturday January 24 10am – noon, hosted by Clearbrook Fire Hall at 32270 George Ferguson Way. Be sure to visit the 8th Annual National Family Literacy Day celebrations at the Clearbrook Library and REACH after breakfast!

As an agency Abbotsford Community Services fosters community well being, so it is vital that ACS Family Centre offers quality Early Childhood and Family Support programs so that families with children in the early years can be connected to one another and build a community rich with relationships, quality resources and accessible supports. Our hope at Family Centre is to model to families that accessing resources, building their skills, playing with their children, singing together with them and being engaged in child centered activities enhances a child’s development and readies them for all the next steps in life.

The mandate of Abbotsford School District’s Early Learning Division is to support and improve the health, social, emotional and educational outcomes for early learners from birth to Grade 3 by increasing access to high quality early literacy programs for young children at risk for school difficulties and supporting and enhancing quality pre-school early learning programs.

Every child has the ability to learn to read with the right supports in place. Let’s work together to make it happen.

In support of literacy Your school district and Board of Education is committed to our early literacy imperative: that all students will be meeting reading expectations by the end of grade three. Being an effective reader by the end of Grade 3 is the most significant key to future school chool success.

From preschool through grade 12, MEI provides students with a holistic education combined with BC curriculum, that focuses on developing the whole person — socially, intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically.

70 years later MEI schools stands on a foundation of tradition and excellence — maintaining a commitment to their founding mission of delivering high quality education encompassing distinct Christian values.

You can help your children by ensuring easy access to books and stories - and by reading with them.

Supports UFV has turned 40.

As we celebrate our history, we also dream of growing innovation locally and beyond.

We can only do this together with you.

School District data shows that 95% of successful graduates over the past five years were meeting or exceeding expectations in reading in Grade 3. On the other hand, only 60% of students who were not reading by Grade 3 graduated from high school. Reading matters.

The vision of a library came from discussion around getting Aboriginal children involved in the community’s Reading Buddy program and the realization that a space was needed.

So the work began. In partnership with the University of the Fraser Valley, Fraser Valley Regional Library, Abbotsford School District 34, and Literacy Matters Abbotsford, renovations to a room were made. Jay Havens, a local Aboriginal artist, was commissioned to paint a mural on the library walls. Shelving and furniture were purchased. Then, books were bought, sorted, and shelved. The library was officially opened December 2012.

n wheelchair tennis, one extra bounce of the ball is all you get – and, in many cases, need.

That extra bounce of the ball is the only concession made to the different means of mobility in wheelchair tennis. But on a recent demonstration day at the Great West Fitness and Tennis Centre, it was enough to entice rugby and basketball players to the hard court for a workout that can be just as intense as the famously aerobic-demanding traditional game of tennis.

Wrestlers from UFV on top of CIS rankings The University of the Fraser Valley’s wrestling program is in its first season of Interuniversity Sport (CIS) competition — and already it finds itself on top.

In the latest CIS poll released on Tuesday, the men’s team moved from No. 3 to No. 1 in national rankings.

It’s been a fast start for a program in its inaugural season. Two weeks ago at the Golden Bear Open in Edmonton, the crew from UVF won the men’s aggregate title with a combined total of 49 points. The next closest competitor, the University of Alberta, had 32 points.

“It feels good, but at the end of the day it’s just a ranking,” said co-coach Arjan Bhullar, a former SFU wrestler who represented Canada at the 2012 Olympics in London.

The team is now focused on winning the Canada West and CIS championships. “We’ve still got to get the job done,” he said.

Based on the early season rankings, the new UFV wrestling team has shown the more established programs that they’re ready to compete. “We are brand-new to the game. [Some of the other programs] have 30 or 40 years history on us,” said Bhullar.

While UFV may be new to CIS competition, Abbotsford has been a hotbed for high school wrestling for years.

“We’ve got a great grassroots here in Abbotsford and the Valley,” said Bhullar, who runs the team along with Raj Virdi, his former teammate at SFU. “That’s why the university bought into having us on campus.”

Cascades wrestlers are only the second team in UFV history to be ranked No. 1 in Canada. In 2013, the women’s basketball team held the top spot in the country for two weeks.

UFV hosts its first official Canada West wrestling event on Feb. 1, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

‘Have a Go’

The “Have a Go” event was inspired by the work of community tennis coach Anthony Iliev, who began coaching wheelchair athletes several years ago at the MEI tennis courts.

Now, BC Wheelchair Sports has begun a regular wheelchair tennis session, with the first taking place Jan. 24.

The secret of traditional tennis is not the hitting of the perfect shot – it’s getting in position to hit the ball in the first place. Being in a wheelchair adds to that challenge – and makes a well-played rally even more impressive.

“It’s all about the mobility,” Iliev said. “The upper part is sort of the same, but the mobility is definitely more challenging.”

B.C. recently won the right to host the 2015 and 2016 national wheelchair tennis championships, and BC Wheelchair Sports Association program manager Holly Tawes is especially interested in boosting participation at the junior levels.

“Right now B.C. is one of the most developed provinces for wheelchair tennis in Canada,” Tawes said. “We have programs in Kelowna, Kamloops, all the way in Victoria … We have a league too which is that next step to competition format, and we also host and run two International Tennis Federation (ITF) wheelchair tennis tournaments.”

One of Iliev’s students, Ben Garrett, took a hiatus from tennis to pursue competitive wheelchair basketball. Garrett, though, said tennis continues to be valuable cross-training, and said a regular program would be an asset in Abbotsford.

Jessica Kruger, another wheelchair rugby athlete, was among the half-dozen participants at the “Have a Go” event, swinging her racket gamely despite the transition to a very different sport.

“I really believe in what BC Wheelchair Sports does, and what they’ve done for me,” said Kruger.

“I had the opportunity to work for them over the summer and I loved the job. I love the way they get people involved again after an accident. I’m happy to do whatever I can to support that.”

Shoot for the Cure UFV women’s basketball team raising funds for cancer foundation The University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team is hosting its eighth annual CIS Shoot for the Cure fundraisers next week, in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

The Shoot for the Cure campaign was launched in 2007 by the CIS Women’s Basketball Coaches Association and has proven an overwhelming success, bringing in over $760,000 in donations in its first seven years. This season, for the fourth year in a row, all 47 CIS women’s basketball schools are set to participate.

The Cascades are partnering with the B.C./Yukon chapter of the CBCF for their fun-

draising initiatives. On Thursday they hosted a dinner and silent auction at Finnegan’s Pub & Grill.

On Friday, Jan. 23, the Cascades’ home game against the UBC Okanagan Heat (6 p.m. tip-off, Envision Athletic Centre) has been designated their Shoot for the Cure night. The team will be selling T-shirts and wristbands with the Shoot for the Cure logo, and will be soliciting direct donations from fans.

Chevrolet expands its electrifying portfolio with the Bolt EV Concept. With a range of more than 300 kilometres, this all-electric stylish crossover is aimed for the masses, not just the select few.

“While it’s still a concept, pricing for this type of vehicle will be in the $30,000 range. Not cheap, but certainly attainable. It even allows you to use a smartphone to perform as the key fob.”

Acura is showing off the return of its simply beautiful NSX sports car to the market. The Porsche-loving Jerry Seinfeld was flown in to add some celebrity power but there was no — because this $150,000-plus super car speaks loudly for itself.

It will be powered by a new Honda V6 mated to a ninespeed dual clutch transmission, assisted greatly by three electric motors — one for each of the front wheels and another to add torque while the turbos get up to speed.

Interesting that Honda should be getting back into F1 racing; now it features hybrid power plants!

Ford is teasing showgoers with a stunning new 600-horsepower Ford GT, which will more than likely have a price sticker similar to that of the NSX. The Infiniti Q60 concept’s premiere appearance was somewhat overshadowed by the aforementioned machines in the media here. However, Alfonso Albaisa, the Infiniti executive director of design, delivered a passionate description of the high-performance sports coupe that will come to market within the next year, with a price tag somewhat lower than the Ford and Acura products.

All that sparkles at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show

Nevertheless, its smooth and comfortable ride didn’t disappoint along the arduous four-plus-hour drive to Detroit, Michigan for the 2015 North Amer-

IN THE FRASER VALLEY AUTO MALL

what’s hot, cool and what sparkles amidst the industry’s top cars. It would only make sense to start with Cadillac’s latest offering when it comes to its “V” series cars.

At the Los Angeles Auto Show in late 2014, we met the ATS-V – the smaller brother of the mid-sized four-door I drove to Motown. Now, get ready for a performance sedan that will knock your socks off.

Cadillac CTS-V Arriving late in the summer of 2015, the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V is ready to take on its German competitors (like the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG) with a whopping 640 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque.

The all-new third generation sedan is the most power-endowed product the brand has ever created.

But aside from power, you’ll have the luxury of the third generation Magnetic Ride Control to not only blast you through the corners with grace and poise, but with the comfort of being able to drive it around town, or between cities/countries without sacrificing an enjoyable ride. Road or track, I’ll take this one for a spin any day.

Acura NSX Perhaps one of the most

The concept’s technological prowess can be linked with an App in which you can control various vehicular functions like starting the car from your smartphone.

Additionally, it even incorporates the concept of automatic park-and-retrieval technology, which enables the driver to exit the vehicle and tell the Bolt EV concept to park itself – and when errands are completed, the Bolt EV concept can be summoned to return to the owner’s location.

Boom, boom buzz at the big Detroit auto show There’s a buzz in Motor City because the car industry has roared back in the US and 2014 was another record year in Canada.

Ford GT There is no question the Ford GT supercar stole the show at the media preview in Detroit. The mid-engine heart powering this carbon fibre and aluminum 2-door beauty is a new twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 with over 600hp.

What really stunned the crowd was the fact Ford has already committed to building the GT. It will be for sale late in 2016. The car displayed is essentially a production model, not a far-reaching concept car.

The carbon fibre passenger cell and bodywork, along with aluminum suspension components will help return one of the best power-to-weight ratios in the business. The best part is the design that looks fast standing still, thanks to a teardrop shape and aggressive aerodynamics and functional wings and spoilers. Ford is using the

GT as a technology test to help implement features like carbon fibre in all new Ford models to come.

Audi Q7 Since we love SUVs in North America, it was logical for Audi to have the world debut of the threerow Q7 SUV in Detroit. This all-new model is slightly smaller than the outgoing model but it actually offers more interior Ford GT space for passengers and cargo. The design also makes the Q7 look much less imposing. The biggest news is the reduction in weight; this new Q7 is 325kg lighter than the older model, which is a whopping number, making it roughly 26 per cent more efficient. Shortly after the Q7 arrives at dealerships, a plug-in diesel hybrid model will be introduced that can deliver the equivalent of 1.7L/100km. Styling is much more sophisticated

and the interior has the allnew dash and MMI system that was first introduced in the soon to arrive Audi TT. Lexus GS F Another trend at the Detroit show was the introduction of very powerful cars. Lexus introduced the latest “F”

performance model called the GS F. Based on the GS mid-sized luxury sedan, the GS F takes things to a much more aggressive level, with a 467hp 5.0L V8 engine pushing all that power through an 8-speed automatic to the rear wheels. Lexus hopes this 1,830kg sedan will be lean enough and powerful enough to attract buyers of cars like the BMW M5.

With standard 19-inch wheels framing orange

Brembo brake calipers and featuring a Torque Vectoring Differential, Lexus thinks this Nurburg-ring tuned sedan is a more than enough to take on the German dominant brands.

Volkswagen Golf The Detroit show always starts with the announcement of the North American Car of the Year. This year the VW Golf won, following on the heels of World Car of the Year and Motor Trend Car of the Year awards, and the Golf is a finalist for the Canadian Car of the Year.

The Golf is turning heads because of the very refined driving dynamics, classabove interior and powerful and efficient engine choices. The price will also win over buyers, thanks to the production coming out of Mexico; the starting price is $18,995. The Golf features a new 1.8L direct injection and turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, an optional TDI diesel or the

more powerful GTI and Golf R models. The Golf is on sale now.

2015 Toyota Tacoma The Detroit-three automakers might have the lion’s share of full-size pickup sales but it’s the Toyota Tacoma mid-size pickup that rules the road, outselling the competition two-to-one. Announced at the Detroit show is a heavily updated Tacoma with a new 3.5L V6, replacing the old 4.0L V6, plus either a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.

The engine features direct injection technology and should vastly improve fuel economy. The tailgate now has a locking feature and a soft open for easier use, plus the optional cargo bed cover can be secured as well. Also shown was the TRD off-road version, which is a big seller for Toyota, and for 2015 it has a crawl feature to aid in off-road adventures, plus a Go-Pro camera mount to capture all the action. With these updates the latest Tacoma is sure to remain dominant. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Gardiner loves all-weather tires

by Bob McHugh

Motoring TV’s Bill Gardiner is probably the bestknown and most popular auto mechanic in Canada.

I met up with the likable and down-to-earth celebrity wrench-puller for the first time at a Kal Tire store in Vancouver a while ago, to talk about all-weather tires.

If you’re shopping for tires in January it’s probably because you’ve just realized how ineffective the current set on your car has become in winter driving conditions. Now you’re faced with a tire-buying dilemma. All-season tires (a misleading name) generally don’t perform well when the thermometer dips below 7 degrees C, and winter (snow) tires also perform far better on the white stuff. Then again, the worst of winter will be over in another month or two... or three.

Many car owners are still not aware that there is another option and it’s called the all-weather tire.

Essentially, an all-weather tire is a winter tire that can be driven right though the summer months, so you don’t have the added expense, hassle and storage issues of swapping tires seasonally. You could say the all-weather tire fulfills the original promise of the all-season tire.

Roughly 50 per cent of Canadian car owners run the same tires all-year-round and don’t do the summer/ winter tire switchover, according to Gardiner.

Economic and logistical reasons, especially if you live in an urban area, are forcing more and more consumers to drive on the same set of tires in both summer and winter.

“I get that feedback from a lot of motorists,” said

Gardiner. “They don’t like manhandling – tires are dirty and you have to put them in the car and then store them. Some families have two or three cars, so that becomes a lot of tires to stack up.

“Many people also buy a second set of steel rims for their winter tires,’’ added Gardiner. “Now your car doesn’t look too attractive for five months of the year.

And with TPMS (tire pressure monitoring systems)

Bill Gardiner talks about all-weather tires. if you don’t replicate that sensor on each wheel you lose an important safety feature. The other thing too, most tire shops have a huge spike in business in November and April, so you have to line up with a gazillion other people.”

The all-weather tire is also a perfect tire for snowbirds, according to Gardiner. “A lot of them like to get home for Christmas. An all-weather tire performs well on hot-dry roads in those southern states and also on ice and snow when they come back to the frozen north.”

An all-weather will also come with the Rubber Association’s snow tire symbol (snowflake inside a mountain) designation

on the tire’s sidewall, which is a winter driving requirement in Quebec and all-season tires do not have it.

An all-season tire is designed to provide optimal ride and wear characteristics, according to Gardiner.

Some all-season tires will provide over 140,000 km of tread wear, however, tires also have a “best before” life expectancy.

“In my garage, we typically try to match our customers with a tire that will give them four or five years of good service, based on how much they drive,” said Gardiner.

The Nokian passenger tires that Gardiner highly recommend come with 80,000 km or 100,000 km tread wear guarantees.

They also come with a clever DSI (driving safety indicator) feature moulded into the tread that’s patented by Nokian. The largest number that’s still visible is the tread depth remaining in millimetres.

When the snowflake disappears, it’s no longer recommended for use as a winter tire.

There’s also a unique noise reduction feature on every Nokian passenger tire. The outboard tread grove has a dimpled “golf ball” finish. On a golf ball, dimples control airflow over its surface so it can travel a longer distance.

They also offer a noise reduction side benefit that’s exploited by Nokian.

Nokian is a Finnish tire company that specializes in winter tires and operates the only permanent winter tire testing facility in the world. It was the first tire maker to offer an all-weather tire in Canada, and Kal Tire has an exclusive importation agreement with Nokian. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Squamish. It was incredibly smooth as it glided over potholes and dodged ditches. Although they were not rough roads it is certainly nice to know that

Continued from page 39

The Pilot has variable cylinder management (VCM), which shuts down two or three cylinders when not required. The five-speed automatic transmission runs smoothly and very quietly when shifting.

When the green ECO light comes on, I noticed the transmission was a little noisier as the engine decreased the number of cylinders in operation. The Pilot has a tow rating of 2045 kg (4500 lb).

Verdict The 2015 Honda Pilot is a reliable/spacious SUV and is a real joy to drive.

Power The 3.5 litre, 24 valve, SOHC i-VTEC V6 engine delivers 250 hp and 253 ft lbs of torque with variable cylinder management (VCM).

Alexandra Straub For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, she has loved cars. She can even remember thinking at the age of six, “Only ten more years until I can get my licence!”

Born in Zurich, Switzerland to Hungarian parents, she moved to Canada when she was just a baby.

Spending her summers in Budapest with her grandparents helped cultivate a strong liking for motorsports. Alexandra can remember watching F1 races with her grandfather, and still does even when she goes to visit.

Over a decade ago, Alexandra started her career in the automotive industry. Since then, she has had countless stories and photos published. You can find her work online, in newspapers, magazines and on television. She has hosted “Shifting Gears Automotive TV” and regularly makes appearances on various shows talking about, you guessed it, all things automotive.

When she’s not testing out the latest in vehicular goodness, you’ll either find her on a motorcycle (she tests and writes about those, too), on a track or traveling the world.

While she considers her “job” her hobby, Alexandra enjoys other activities that don’t necessarily involve wheels, engines or motors. Growing up on the North Shore of Vancouver, she loves the mountains and the ocean. An avid snowboarder and a wannabe surfer, count on her enjoying the outdoors when she has the chance. And to really help her relax, she scrapbooks.

MERRETT Dorothy Frances (Milloy) committed Christian woman who did everything she could to share her faith and to be a good example for others. She loved people – she was very hospitable to the many folks that so frequently came to the Merrett home and in later years, the wonderful staff at Bevan Lodge frequently commented on Mom being the kindest and sweetest woman in the establishment.

Mom passed away peacefully last week at Abbotsford Regional Hospital at the age of 88 under the comforting and compassionate care of the staff on “Cheam 3”.

She was born near a quaint little Ontario town called Fenelon Falls. She was one of five sisters and grew up in an idyllic rural setting. After a wonderful childhood, she taught grades 1-6 in a one room rural school before attending Central Baptist Seminary in Toronto where she met and married Rev. Donald C. Merrett. Children Ruth McMonagle (Trevor) and John (Cathy) came along in due course and the Don and Dorothy Merrett family adventure that spanned residency from Quebec to British Columbia, began. After 64 years of a happy and loving marriage together, Dad went to be with the Lord last year.

Mom was totally devoted and committed to her family and it was only through her “keeping the home fires burning” that Dad’s extensive Christian service with its frequent travel was possible. She was a strong and

Paul Singh Dhaliwal A respected community member and pioneer of the Sikh community, peacefully passed away at his residence in Abbotsford surrounded by his family at the great age of 100 on Tuesday, January 20, 2015.

Paul arrived in Canada from Chananwal, Punjab in 1932.

He initially worked in lumber camps in B.C. In 1942, he established Mission Fuel Ltd., his own business to deliver sawdust and later hauled lumber and logs.

On his initial journey to Canada at the age of 18 and in the steps of his father, Paul studied wrestling at the Gamma School of Wrestling in Hong Kong and while managing his business, he continued to participate in amateur wrestling until 1945 when a promoter invited him to the professional arena. From 1945 to 1947, he enjoyed his professional status both in Canada and the United States. In 1947, due to his mother’s illness he returned to India where he remained for three years and married Mohinder Kaur, whom he shared his life with.

As a well-respected citizen, Paul was the recipient of the Order of Abbotsford, named the citizen of the year, recognized by the National Historic Gur Sikh Temple, and the Khalsa Diwan Society.

Predeceased by Mohinder Kaur, his wife of 62 years, Paul is survived by his six children, Vicky (Chris), Baljeet, Surindar, Kamala (Jack), Paul Jr., and Robin (Jim), and seven grandchildren, Erin, Dustin, Charissa, Jenna, Michelle, Nathan, and Bradley.

Paul will be remembered for his love and dedication to his family and friends, his warm and generous nature, and for a fantastic sense of humour. One of his passions was to share life experiences by sitting at the kitchen table while having dinner and talking about his novel experiences.

Funeral services will be held at Fraser River Funeral Home at 2061 Riverside Road, Abbotsford, B.C. at 2:30 pm on Sunday, January 25, 2015 followed by prayer services at the Mission Gur Sikh Temple at 32086 Lougheed Highway, Mission B.C. at 5:00 pm.

She managed the family’s modest financial resources with great care and effectiveness.

She was a collector, she loved travel and she loved and stayed close to her four sisters and their families. She loved singing and was involved in many choirs over the years. She was particularly close to her six grandchildren and their spouses, Natalie (Sean), Graham (Roberta), John Jr. (Heather), Carlee (Brent), Kristin (Blaine), Liam and more recently, her 11 adoring great-grandchildren. God Blessed our families’ lives through very close relationships amongst Mom and her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids.

She is now reunited with Dad and with her Lord and Savior and will be deeply missed.

A memorial service in Mom’s honour will be held Saturday, January 24th at 1:00 p.m. at the Immanuel Baptist Church in Abbotsford.

Two open heart surgeries.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Donald and Dorothy Merrett Scholarship Fund at Trinity Western University in Langley (attn: Inga Warnock).”
