CLOSED DOORS? Abbotsford families struggle to cope with soaring house prices and few rental options Laura RODGERS and Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
M
ichelle Bissonette’s two children, four-year-old Rory and five-yearold River, currently share a room in a cramped central Abbotsford apartment in a building that has frequent plumbing issues. Michelle and her husband Kevin have been searching for a larger place to live since 2014, but they haven’t been able to find anything within their budget. River has special needs, and Michelle is a stay-at-home mom and his full-time caregiver. Kevin works as a plumber, which in another era would have been enough for the family to buy a home. But at present, they’re struggling to find a decent place to rent – let alone save for a down payment to buy a home. “It’s very frustrating to not be able to find suitable housing,” said Michelle. “The kids need food, clothes, therapy … there’s no way to save.” They’re far from the only family facing such struggles. Abbotsford is facing a real estate and rental crunch – and it’s only intensifying. According to BC Assessment and the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, home prices in Abbotsford are on the rise because the hot real estate market in Vancouver is Continued on A4

pushing families eastward, toward the Fraser Valley. “Single-family homes further west are, on average, a million dollars and above in particular neighbourhoods,� said Brian Smith, the acting deputy assessor for BC Assessment’s South Fraser region. “People have to start looking to more affordable options, so they start moving further and further out.� The cost of an average single-family home in Abbotsford stayed relatively steady from 2007 to 2012. But since then, it’s risen dramatically, with the price of that average home increasing by nearly $100,000 in just three years. In January 2013, the average home cost $434,018. By December 2015, that number had risen to $528,264, and most of that increase has come in just the last 12 months, with average home prices increasing 16.7 per cent. That average price is slightly higher than a typical “benchmark� house, which has a value of $495,709. This echoes the picture further west, with home
prices in Surrey, North Delta and Langley all increasing at an even faster rate. “It’s a standard trend,� said Jorda Maisey, president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “What happens is, as prices get too high in the city, [people] start to move out. When you start having more buyers and less inventory, it’s supply and demand. The activity starts to shift, and get further and further out.� Competition for rental housing is just as fierce,
with the area’s vacancy rate plunging to record-low levels. Just 0.6 per cent of units were vacant, down from 3.1 per cent in 2014. The availability rate, which includes properties where the tenant intends to move, also declined significantly, from 4.6 to 1.3 per cent. Unlike housing prices, rental rates can only increase as much as permitted by the Residential Tenancy Branch, which last year set the maximum rental hike at 2.5 per cent. Even with that

cap, the Canadian Mortgage Housing Corporation found a 2.9 average rent increase in samples of similar properties in Abbotsford and Mission. Some of the housing crunch has been attributed to the market in Metro Vancouver – which some attribute to foreign investment. And there are concerns there that home prices no longer reflect income levels. But in the Fraser Valley, there are indications that at least some of the housing demand is tied to a booming economy. Statistics Canada recently reported unemployment rates to be on a steady decline in the city, from 8.8 per cent in 2011 to 6.4 per cent in 2015. And the CMHC has attributed demand to an improving labour market bolstered, in part, by a manufacturing sector aided by the low dollar. The CMHC expected the Abbotsford-Mission area to welcome 1,300 new residents in each of the next two years, and predicted that the region would see total employment growth of 8.7 per

The B.C. government’s 14-year legal battle with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation over staffing levels will go one last round at the Supreme Court of Canada. The top court announced Thursday it will hear the union’s appeal of last year’s decision by the B.C. Court of Appeal that the province didn’t violate bargaining rights with its 2002 legislation setting class size and special needs support. Education Minister Mike Bernier said the long-running dispute won’t disrupt efforts to continue cooperation with
teachers, and the latest five-year negotiated settlement shows “government’s relationship with the BCTF has never been better.” The agreement came in 2014, after a long, bitter strike that saw the government send out $40-a-day childcare payments to 230,000 families for 13 school days lost due to strike action in the fall. BCTF president Jim Iker said Thursday the latest appeal offers a chance to restore the union’s ability to negotiate classroom conditions, but the union won’t wait for another court proceeding to press its demands for more staffing. “A month from now, the B.C.

Abbotsford Police Board You are invited to attend the Abbotsford Police Board Meeting on Tuesday, January 19, 2016 at 12:00 pm at City Hall - Room 530 Boardroom - 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford.
Frozen Material in Curbside Containers Winter temperatures can freeze garbage and compost inside your curbside container and make it difficult to collect. To avoid injury and damaging containers, collection workers are only able to provide limited shaking and hitting of containers against the truck to dislodge frozen materials. To prevent compostable materials from freezing to the sides of your container, please line it with crumpled newspaper, paper, dry grass, branches or cedar needles. Please also ensure your garbage and compost containers have a secure lid when placing them outdoors to prevent rain from entering and freezing. If you have any questions, please contact the Engineering Department at eng-info@abbotsford.ca or 604-864-5514.
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.

government will deliver its 2016 budget,” Iker said. “Enrolment is starting to increase after years of decline and we know that there are more students with special needs, refugee students and others with unique needs entering the system.” Bernier declined to comment on the details of the case, with another court action on the horizon. “B.C. students rank first amongst all English-speaking countries in reading, science and math in international testing,” Bernier said. “We will keep working with the BCTF so students benefit from making our great education system even better.”
If Bylaw No. 2199-2013 is adopted, a new Comprehensive Development Fifty Four Zone (N54) will be created. The applicant proposes to develop a twenty seven unit townhouse development consistent with the N54 zone.

Single mothers spending more than one-third of income on rent Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
Hundreds of single mothers in Abbotsford spend the majority of their monthly income on rent, according to a new study released this week. Although they comprise just 10 per cent of renters, the 1,155 local single-mother renters counted in the last census spend an average of 38 per cent of their income on rent, according to the Rental Housing Index compiled by the BC Non-Profit Housing Association. And 36 per cent of those renters spend more than half their income on shelter. The figures – which rely on data collected in the 2011 census – mirror those found across British Columbia, where one in three single mothers who rent housing spend more than half of their gross income on shelter. This year’s Rental Housing Index study is an expansion on one released last year that showed Abbotsford residents spend an average of $866 on rent plus utilities. The situation is worst for the poorest 25 per cent of renters. Those renters, who earn below $21,150 a year, on average spend nearly three-quarters – 74 per cent – of their income on housing.
More than one-quarter of single-mother families live in ‘overcrowded’ conditions The data released this week show single mothers pay, on average, around $50 more per month than the Abbotsford average. Seniors, who make up a slightly larger block of renters, are not as stretched by housing prices, the numbers suggest. They pay, on average, $772 on rent and utilities. And while 42 per cent spend more than a third of their income on rent – the point at which many organizations define housing as “unaffordable” – only 12 per cent spend more than half their income on shelter. And while the index says more than a quarter of single-mother renters were living in “overcrowded” conditions, that
figure was only around six per cent for seniors. “The city in general, when we rank it against the rest of Canada, comes in 502 out of the 521 cities in the country, so clearly there’s a rental housing affordability challenge in Abbotsford as it’s one of the most constrained environments in the country,” said Tony Roy, the CEO of the B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association. “Even though the rents may not be as high, neither are the incomes. The incomes are not high enough there to pay what the rent is.” The index also breaks down renters by profession, and show that those employed in construction jobs constitute the largest chunk of renters. They’re also relatively well-off, with an average income of $35,246. The next-largest group of renters, hospitality workers, make slightly more than half of that figure. Retail, health care and social services, and manufacturing workers round out the professions with the most renters. “I think there’s a perception that when we talk about renters, we’re talking about young people, maybe retail workers, maybe people working at Starbucks,” Roy said.

cent from 2015 to 2017. “There’s only so much land available in the Lower Mainland. The further away from the [Vancouver] core, the more affordable it is,” said Maisey. “Industry moves further out as well. And if land is more affordable [for] businesses, there’s more ability to have income in the perimeter areas of the Fraser Valley.” Evidence of increased demand for housing in the Central Fraser Valley is reflected in the Abbotsford and Mission school districts. Administrators in both districts had been expecting enrolment drops. Instead, both Abbotsford and Mission saw triple-digit increases in the

number of students, with officials speculating some of those were a result of more people moving to the area, thought to be either from Alberta, which has seen its economic fortunes slump as the price of oil sank, or from further west in the Lower Mainland, where home prices are even higher. As prices rise, single-family houses can end up out of reach for many who earn an average income. A 2013 report from the Abbotsford Community Foundation found that 24 per cent of homeowners and 39 per cent of tenants are spending more than 30 per cent of total household income on shelter costs. Overall, survey respondents gave housing affordability in
the city a “C” grade. Housing in Abbotsford is less affordable than the national average, but close to the provincial average. The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation says a family would need an annual household income of $93,586 to buy a typical average home. Yet in 2013, the last year for which data was available, the median family income was $68,310. To buy a townhome with a value of $284,339, a family would need annual income of $53,678, while the typical apartment would require a minimum income of just under $30,000. For the Bissonettes, even housing that would be deemed unaffordable for them has thus far been im-
possible to find. They currently pay $800 per month for rent, but Michelle said she’s willing to go as high as $1,300 when they resume looking for a place once the school year draws to an end. That is far in excess of one-third of the family income – the point at which many social agencies deem housing “unaffordable.” Even so, Michelle said there is a “slim to none” chance that they will be able to find a suitable home. As for home ownership, Michelle says buying a house for a young family seems to increasingly require an unexpected financial windfall. “Anybody I know who has done it has somehow fallen into money,” Michelle said.

QUESTION
WebTalk
OF THE WEEK Do you spend more than a third of your income on housing?
Pot store ban upheld It would be great if it could be regulated properly, it always seems to get into the wrong hands, someone was killed the other day because a marijuana partaker chose to drive. Carol Vogt
To answer, go to abbynews.com
In my opinion maybe if they had more of these shops the crime would cut down in Abby. For such a small town there seems to be a lot of criminal activity going on there and last I checked a lot has to do with drugs. Adam Bennett
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Are you financially better off now than you were at the start of 2015?
Can’t drive without a licence. Get a business license like everyone else George Charpentier
You responded:
The bottom line as I understand it, is that it isn’t so much the ‘what’ he’s trying to sell, but it’s the ‘how’ he’s trying to sell it. Sarah Wieler

Avatar sequel bombs in Albran Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views Avatar, the future-fantasy blockbuster that beat Titanic as all-time Hollywood box office champ, has finally been unseated by the latest Star Wars space opera. I watched Avatar on TV over the holidays for the first time since its 2009 release, and was able to see past the bombastic special effects to examine it for what it is, an anti-capitalist propaganda film. Psychopathic military commander teams with evil mining executive to blast and slaughter their way to a chunk of rare mineral, ridiculously named “unobtainium.” Giant tree, home of highly evolved Na’vi people and their delicate jungle ecosystem, is toppled for sadistic fun and profit, before nature’s collective strikes back. Canadian director James Cameron helped the global anti-development network use the movie in its celebrity attack on the Alberta oil industry. Now the storyline is
being employed again in B.C., in an effort to revive the 1990s “war in the woods” that led to the creation of Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park on Vancouver Island. Protest tactics are being refined. Targeting just outside the boundary of the vast park established 20 years ago, giant trees are named and an Avatar-style narrative of unbridled greed is spoon-fed to urban media. There’s a “Tolkien Giant” now, although I’m reliably informed it is not one of those trees that gets up and walks around in the Lord of the Rings movies. This tree is also protected from logging, as are most of the poster trees used for propaganda and fundraising. The network uses multiple front groups. Vancouver-based Wilderness Committee stages urban protests and issues news releases, while Ecojustice lawyers fight forest company injunctions against direct actions that disrupt legal logging. An employee of the B.C. branch plant of Sierra Club lurks, apparently co-ordinating media and protesters.
A 1990s remnant called Friends of CarmanahWalbran issued a statement Nov. 9 announcing “autonomous action” by three protesters to disrupt logging. Not their guys, you understand, just masked individuals willing to lock themselves to equipment or wander into a road-building blast zone, forcing work to stop for safety reasons. These are among the actions that forced the logging company to go to court for an injunction. Cast in the role of evil corporation is TealJones Group, a B.C. forest company trying to operate in what is now the most environmentally restricted forest in the world. It keeps about 2,000 people employed in logging and its sawmills in Surrey, where investments have been made to handle second-growth coastal timber as well as what little old-growth they are allowed to harvest. Protesters have dubbed their latest target, the tiny 3.2 hectare cutblock 4424, “Black Diamond Grove” for media and fundraising purposes.
Teal-Jones has ... received permits and worked with environmental organizations.
Teal-Jones forester Chris Harvey provided me some information to counter protester claims. Block 4424 isn’t being logged, although it was permitted last fall. Protesters are targeting other operations, none of which are in the contentious Walbran “bite” area next to the park. Teal-Jones has not only received permits and worked with environmental organizations, its operations are independently certified by the Canadian Standards Association. A B.C. Supreme Court judge granted an extension of the injunction protecting Teal-Jones’ operations on Jan. 4. The judge wasn’t swayed by protesters packing the Victoria courtroom, and upheld a 50-metre safety zone around working equipment in the Walbran Valley until the end of March. A Wilderness Committee spokesman with no evident forestry qualifications was appalled. He will no doubt continue to issue news releases and write his own version for left-wing fringe publications that seek to perpetuate an urban culture of revulsion for logging.

Impaired driving charges laid Crash last September injured teen on scooter Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A 20-year-old man has been charged with several offences in relation to an incident last September in which a teen riding a scooter was struck by a suspected impaired driver who fled the scene. Jakob Warren Andrist Betsworth made his first appearance in Abbotsford provincial court yesterday (Thursday) on charges of impaired driving, dangerous driving causing bodily harm, two counts of failing to stop at the scene of an accident, and two counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm. The collision took place Sept. 26 at about 12:30 a.m. in the area of Essendene and Gladys avenue. A 13-year-old boy on a scooter was with a group of friends who were crossing east on Essendene in the crosswalk, when a Mustang – travelling north on Gladys – attempted to stop at a red light and skidded through the intersection. The vehicle crashed into a southbound Dodge truck, driven by a 17-year-old girl, and then veered toward the group of teens. All were able to jump out of the way, except for the boy on the scooter. He suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Mustang then fled the scene on foot, but was caught a short distance away. A passenger in the vehicle remained on scene.

Using Knives in the Kitchen - Part 1
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Firefighters quickly quelled a fire in a large garage in west Abbotsford Wednesday afternoon. Multiple fire trucks and crews responded to a call just before 2 p.m. involving a building in the 28500 block of Elsie Road, west of Bradner Road. Explosions were heard from inside the 5,000sq.ft. structure, which contained numerous vehicles and various fuels. Around 20 firefighters arrived on scene and were able to douse the blaze. No injuries were reported, and damage to the structure does not appear serious. Early reports indicated the building was fully engulfed, but the blaze was contained to the inside of the shop. The cause of the fire is not yet known.

knife collection, you should purchase knives that are made from high-carbon stainless steel. The high-carbon content in stainless steel is what ensures the steel is strong. This is very important for keeping a sharp edge. Any knife can be made from stainless steel, but unless it is has a high-carbon content as well, it will lose its sharpness very quickly in comparison. Start with a standard “Chef’s” knife. Other than for bread cutting, this is the most versatile knife you can have in the kitchen, and can be used for almost any application. It offers a rounded top edge of the blade that facilitates a rocking motion to ease most cutting/slicing preparations. The next knife you should purchase for your collection is a good quality serrated knife for bread cutting. The serrated edge will not only produce perfect slices of bread without squashing the bread; it also brings relief to producing extremely thin cuts of fruits and vegetables. You should also purchase a paring knife because a chef’s knife might be overkill for small jobs. These are the three main knives that should grace the starting foundation of your knife collection. From this point, you can proceed to adding other knives such as a carving knife, filet knife, cleaver, vegetable knife, etc. Most good quality knives will offer a full tang, meaning that the steel blade will run through the full length of the handle as well. This will offer more balance and control. Most importantly, ask questions and ask to handle
I have always said that one of my favourite things about being a Chef is that I get to play with knives. Although this may sound very adventurous in a James Bond fashion, knife skills and proper/safe cutting practices are a very serious subject in the kitchen. With some basic knowledge, you can start to overcome any cutting intimidation you may have. In this column I will focus on the tools themselves — knives. This will be the first of three installments on cutting. My next column will focus on cutting boards, and the third column will focus on cutting techniques. There are many choices when trying to decide on which knives will adorn the collection of cutting tools in your kitchen. The marketplace is saturated with everything from mail-order deals to high-end specialties. First and foremost, I have to stress that we usually gets what we pay for. Before you reach for your credit card when you see the full collection of ginsu knives for only $19.99 on TV, think about it realistically. How well are these knives manufactured? Once the twenty dollars is divided between the TV air-time costs, the production of the commercial, and any middlemen t (such as marketers, etc.), how much is actually going toward the manufacturing of these knives? Remember, from this amount, a profit must be made as well. If you are looking to start a good quality
the knives to ensure they offer a comfortable companionship with your unique hand. If a retail store is not informative about their products, and will not allow you to handle them, then take your business to one that will. Dear Chef Dez: I am already assuming that you will not recommend buying those full sets of knives for a really low price from TV, but they must be good if they offer a lifetime guarantee that they will never need sharpening. How can they do this? Is there a catch? Doris B., Burnaby, BC Dear Doris: I am assuming that the knives you are referring to are the same that I have seen. Although they are stainless steel, they offer a very low carbon content which makes them very soft steel in comparison, and thus less expensive to manufacture. Since all of the edges on these knives are serrated, they will keep their sharpness for a longer period of time than a straight edged knife, because the cutting is achieved by tearing at the food rather than slicing through it. They can offer a “lifetime guarantee” because they play on normal human behavior. Chances are if they ever do need sharpening/ replacing, one is not going to spend the money to ship them back to the manufacturer.

A plan to create an east-west thoroughfare by linking Marshall and King roads near Abbotsford International Airport has been given council approval. The hope is that the route will help alleviate traffic congestion on Fraser Highway and remove 3,000 to 5,000 vehicles a day from that busy route. The $9.1 million proposal approved Monday was recommended by staff despite the objections of residents of Marshall Road Extension. Staff said the proposal will cost $5 million less than another plan that would have seen two existing stretches of King Road connected. That proposal had been part of the city’s long-term traffic strategy, but depended on the removal of gravel that was not expected to be completed for another 20 to 25 years. Residents of the Marshall Road Extension opposed the proposal because it would make what had been a deadend route a through road with significantly more traffic. Mayor Henry Braun said he understood residents’ opposition to the proposal. “If I lived on that street, I would have the same concerns,” he said. But for the city as a whole, the proposal makes more sense, he argued. “We don’t have a lot of options for east-west traffic and that is where our congestion is.” He noted that of the two options before council, the Marshall Road proposal would cost less and take cars off Fraser Highway much quicker. Questions were raised at the public meeting, and by Coun. Moe Gill, about the gravel industry’s involvement in pushing the Marshall plan. Braun said the impetus behind the project was a meeting he had with city manager George Murray, at which they discussed the need to alleviate east-west traffic. He said the road will be increasingly needed as the airport grows and as industrial lands in the area are built out.
The new proposal will keep the road to two lanes with a 50 km/h speed limit. Braun and several

Abbotsford News
The first province-wide enrolment increase in nearly two decades has consumed more than $55 million in funding, some of which was intended to help school districts upgrade their Internet and online infrastructure. It means the Abbotsford school district will have to find around $690,000 to cover the cost of implementing the province’s “Next Generation Network.” Every fall, the ministry of education holds back a certain amount of funding for school districts, so that it can make adjustments after enrolment counts are verified in December. Last year, the Abbotsford school district received $1.8 million in such funding, although that total was higher than normal. That money helped the district mitigate what had been projected to be a substantial deficit. Abbotsford recorded an increase of 232 students this fall, for which the district received more than $2.4 million in additional funding. But it was far from the only school district to be surprised by many new students, as enrolment across B.C. has risen by more than 6,700 – the first increase since 1997/98. According to the Abbotsford school district, the holdback fund won’t entirely cover the costs of all those new students, forcing the province to kick in millions more in operating grants. The province had intended to designate $19 million in holdback funding to be used to technology infrastructure in B.C. schools.

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

Homes on naval radio station may be used for police training Eleven houses on Matsqui Prairie, at the Canadian Armed Forces’ Matsqui communications station, are scheduled to be demolished this year or next. The houses, which are located off of Beharrell Road, are owned by the Department of National Defence. They were vacated between August 2014 and July 2015, when the service members living there were asked to leave and moved to private housing. Before they are torn down, the houses may be used for police or military training exercises, according to Ashley Lemiere, a national defence spokesperson. Lemiere said the condition of the houses varies. Currently, the doors of all but one are boarded up. From the outside, it appears that many have mould or water damage. She said the military has gradually transitioned from Crownowned homes to private market housing in the Lower Mainland. The Matsqui communications station was built about five decades ago as an important part of Canada’s naval radio communication system. The long-range radio transmission equipment at Matsqui and its companion station in Aldergrove is used to communicate with naval vessels on the West Coast and in the Arctic. Technological advances now mean the station can largely be operated remotely, and the number of service members needed at the site has decreased.

Sentenced for sex assault at vacant lot Man twice fondled woman’s breasts Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A man previously convicted of sexually assaulting a woman at a construction site in Abbotsford has received a suspended sentence and 18 months’ probation. A sentencing hearing for Harjinder Gill, 57, was held Friday in Abbotsford provincial court. A suspended sentence means Gill will receive a criminal record and could go to jail if he violates the conditions of his probation. The 33-year-old victim testified that she was collecting rocks – a hobby of hers – on the morning of Sept. 13, 2014, in a vacant lot at the northeast corner of Trethewey Street and Simon Avenue when she was approached by Gill, whom she did not know. He offered to help her with her sweatshirt, which was draped over her shoulders. She said that as he reached to grab the shirt as he was facing her, he brushed the back of his hands against her breasts and pressed on them. The woman backed away from Gill on her bike, and he then came around to her left side and again insisted on

fixing her sweatshirt. As he put the sleeves over her shoulders, he grabbed her breasts and squeezed, “like testing the ripeness of a cantaloupe,” the woman testified.
gested that the contact with the woman’s breast was not intentional or for a sexual purpose. But the judge did not believe Gill’s testimony and found him guilty of sexual assault.
The woman left the scene and reported the incident to police. Gill was still at the construction site when they arrived, and he was arrested. At his trial, Gill sug-

Maple Ridge. During a visit to Woodward’s department store in Vancouver, they saw imported witloof, with green rather than the fresh yellow tops, selling for $4 a pound. Ria van Eekelen, from
a long line of farming families, thought she could do better, and began producing endive in their two-and-a-halfacre field. The initial crop was a success but the soil was poor and growing was difficult. By 1981, the lure of
available prime growing land on Sumas Prairie brought them to Abbotsford. In the late 1970s, the vast 2,500-acre Buckerfield’s farm was sold off to a number of Abbotsford investors who divided up the

many parcels of the farm. Peter and Ria initially purchased 150 acres to pursue their dream of growing Belgian endive. At the same time, Peter was developing his own company – Prins Greenhouses – which designs and builds greenhouses throughout the Lower Mainland. From the original purchase, van Eekelen Enterprises has now expanded to 600 acres, and in addition to witloof, grows cereal grains, leeks, cole crops, peas and beans. It is the endive, however, that is the defining product. Planted as a seed in May, the leafy growth is trimmed off in October and the thousands of roots are harvested, and after a cooling bath, are stored in the dark, in huge crates, at -2 C. After a number of months, and even up to a year later, when product demands calls for witloof, the roots are taken out of cold storage dormancy, given a warm bath to stimulate growth and then returned to darkness. The roots are placed in small containers and fed hydroponically in closely monitored conditions. Miraculously, from a bare root, hair-like shoots quickly grow, and within just three weeks, the six-inch witloof sprout is ready to harvest. Hand-removed from the root in the immaculate packing area, the endive is placed in boxes in groups of 24, lined and covered with black paper, and shipped in refrigerated transport (truck and plane) to customers far and wide. The remaining roots are sent to local dairy farms as cattle feed. Witloof adds a deliciously bitter tang to salads, but can be used in a variety of dishes, both raw and cooked. In fact, the company maintains two websites, one devoted to recipes – endive.ca – and witloof. ca. Check them out, as well as learn more about this very successful contributor to Abbotsford’s vibrant agricultural economy. And be sure to try some of their witloof. Your gourmet palate won’t be disappointed. markrushton@ abbynews.com

Abby Traditional presents My Son Pinocchio Jr. Musical production at Abbotsford Arts Centre
Sean Hurlburt is Geppetto and Ellis Hull is Pinocchio in Abbotsford Traditional Secondary’s production of My Son Pinocchio Jr.
A b b o t s f o r d Traditional Secondary presents the Disney musical My Son Pinocchio Jr., the classic tale of toymaker Geppetto’s little wooden puppet, today and tomorrow (Jan. 15 and 16). The musical retells the classic story from Geppetto’s perspec-
tive, and features the beloved songs When You Wish Upon a Star and I’ve Got No Strings, as well as a host of new tunes by Oscar and Grammy award winner and master melodist Stephen Schwartz. The songs tackle issues such as what it means to be “the per-
fect child,” and what it means to be “a real father.” When the Blue Fairy grants Geppetto’s wish to bring his beloved puppet to life, the new father quickly learns that being a parent is full of challenges. He struggles to make his son “the perfect boy,” only to
lose him to a gang of Roustabouts. It is only when he is faced with the thought of never seeing Pinocchio again that Geppetto truly learns the joys of being a father and loving a
child unconditionally. The show takes place both nights at 7 p.m. at the Abbotsford Arts Centre, 2329 Crescent Way. For information and tickets, call 604850-7029.

A lot of times I get asked ‘Where are the Buyers coming from these days?’ Well we hear anecdotes that perhaps many of the Buyers in Vancouver & Richmond are from mainland China. But here in Abbotsford, this year almost more than any in the past 10 years, there are many people moving into our area from across Canada again, whether they’re from Ontario or the Prairies or the Maritimes. Our economy is strong and we live in a beautiful, highly sought after area. So Real Estate has been selling in almost record numbers this year. If you’d like more specifics for your situation just give me a call or send me a text or email.

Kevin Endozo earned players of the game nods. Brar was named a tournament first-team all-star, with Endozo winning the tournament most valuable player award. The Huskies are a perfect 15 wins and zero losses this season, and also won their division at the Abby PD city basketball tournament in December after beating Eugene Reimer Middle 57-18 in the final.

the South Kamloops Invitational tournament on Friday and Saturday. They then are scheduled to play at the Semiahmoo Totems tournament on Jan. 22 and 23, and the Walnut Grove Gators tournament on Feb. 5 and 6. On top of the tournaments, there is also regular season action in advance of the BC high school basketball playoffs, which begin in the second week of February.

Friday, January 15, 2016
Cascades win three of four over Cougars up a 25-5 lead in the first quarter of Friday’s game, en route to a 73-58 win. “It was the start that we wanted – we were energized, we played some tough D, and we were sharing the ball,” said Cascades head coach Al Tuchscherer, whose team was up 41-16 at halftime. “It was a great way to start the second half of the season.” Forward Taylor Claggett scored a career-high 23 points, and shot a sparkling 90 per cent from the field to lead UFV. Kayli Sartori added 17 points, and returning forward

Parchment stuffs the stat box for UFV on Friday From A31
Men split with Cougars
night,” Tuchscherer said. “I don’t think it was just rebounding, either – it was a grittier performance.” Sartori led the way for UFV with 21 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Claggett had a double-double, with 15 points and 11 rebounds, while Shayna Cameron added 11 points and seven boards. Claggett, a 2015 MEI grad and Cascades rookie, earned Canada West third star of the week for her efforts in the pair of wins. UFV remains in a logjam for second place in the Explorer, with the same amount of wins (six) as both the UBC-Okanagan Heat and the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack.
Friday night was the Kevon Parchment show for the Cascades men’s team. The fifth-year guard filled the stat sheet against the Cougars, with 28 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, six steals and two blocks in a 89-75 UFV win. “Every area of the box score, he was present,” said men’s head coach Adam Friesen. “First game coming out of the break, some teams need to find a boost to kind of get back into it. We needed one, and Kevon was there to give us one in a big way.” It was a different story on Saturday, as the Cascades lost 86-71 in overtime to MRU under bizarre circumstances. UFV’s Manny Dulay hit a buzzer-beater three-point shot to send
the game to the extra frame, but a short bench ended up costing the Cascades. UFV only had eight players dressed for Saturday, and by overtime three of those eight had fouled out. The first minute of overtime saw two more Cascades players foul out, and the team was forced to play with just three men for the remainder of the game. Dulay had a team-high 19 points in the loss, while Parchment had 12 points and 16 rebounds. The men’s and women’s teams return to the Envision Athletic Centre on Friday for games against the University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves. The women tip-off at 6 p.m., and the men get underway at 8 p.m.

Legendary female rockers coming to Abbotsford Part of the magic of music is how certain songs can transport you back to a moment in time with absolute clarity. Maybe you were driving with a date on a summer night the first time you heard Joan Jett’s 1981 hit single “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll.” Or maybe you blasted Heart’s 1987 heart-wrenching hit “Alone” while staring up at the ceiling of your bedroom on a particular evening, wondering how life would unfold.

Serena and Nick from The Mandevilles have also been added to the line-up.
spanned decades, a night with Heart will transport you through time with hits like “Crazy on You,” “Magic Man,” “Barracuda,” “Straight On,” and many more.
Billboard charts in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2010s, with chart singles in each decade. Ann says that Heart is in the studio right now, recording a new album for release this summer.
Also a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is Joan Jett, who took the title in 2015. As the leader of the Blackhearts, she’s had eight platinum and gold albums, and nine Top 40 singles, including the classics “Bad Reputation,” “I Hate Myself For Loving You,” “Crimson and Clover,” and “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll,” which held steady at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for months in 1982. Known for her growling voice and onstage attitude, the 57-yearold legend will no doubt bring true rock and roll energy to the Abbotsford Centre that fans old and new can appreciate.
Heart rose to fame in the mid-1970s with music that mixed hard rock and

COZY LAYERS AND COOL DETAILS. Layering pieces are the perfect way to stay warm and cozy when the temperature drops. A thick cardigan is a good option for winter days, in a style that comes to about mid-thigh and is worn open. This version is best paired with leggings, slim trousers or skinny jeans to balance out proportions and with a lightweight top to avoid added bulk. Choose a geometric pattern or a design edged with fringe for a bit of added interest. A pullover sweater is also right for the season, but choose a bright hue to make it stand out in a season filled with neutrals. This season’s stars include shades of amethyst, burgundy, lemon and mango. Another layering option is a funky faux fur vest. This is a fun, more casual look that’s better left for evenings and weekends than for the office.

One popular flooring trend right now is the use of sustainable materials. In addition to the more widely known benefits such as protecting natural resources and reducing a home’s carbon footprint, sustainable flooring can help reduce indoor air pollution. Studies have shown that air pollutant levels may be higher indoors than outdoors. A major contributor to indoor air pollution are the volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, being off-gassed by carpeting and other flooring in a home.

BAMBOO Contrary to popular belief, bamboo is not a wood, but a grass. It is fast-growing, and that makes it a smart choice in many design applications. Also, unlike wood, which will absorb moisture and can warp, bamboo repels water and can be used in areas where one wouldn’t think to put wood, such as in bathrooms, entryways or mudrooms.
GREEN CARPETING Consumers can now find a wide range of sustainable carpets and rugs that are
available at competitive prices. Wool carpets made with undyed or vegetable-dyed yarns and minimal glues are some options. Some carpets are even made from recycled content, such as rubber and plastics. Water-based, lowVOC adhesives paired with recycled cotton padding can also reduce the toxicity and impact of carpeting.
RUBBER Rubber flooring may call to mind fitness gyms and playground safety substrate, but it’s also slowly finding its way into homes. Made from recycled tires, rubber flooring is flexible underfoot and can be long-lasting. Eco-friendly flooring materials continue to evolve and can be smart choices in today’s homes.

New England Clam Chowder INGREDIENTS: 6 slices 1 5 2-3 stalks
Lepp’s bacon, diced Onion, chopped lrg potatoes (about 2.5 lbs), cubed Celery, chopped
2-3 2 cloves 3 cups
carrots, chopped Garlic, minced Lepp’s chicken broth or vegetable broth Chesapeake Bay Seasoning
Add the leafy bits from the middle if available
1 Tbsp
Similar to Old Bay Seasoning but has all the ingredients listed, and salt isn’t the first one!
To taste 1 Tbsp
1 pkg (340 gm) Ocean’s Mama Clam Meat, chopped and thawed
pan. Add onions, carrots and celery and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add Chesapeake Bay Seasoning and saute about 2 minutes, which allows the spices to bloom, or release their peak flavours. Add potatoes, cooked bacon and stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are soft. With a potato masher, mash ingredients in pot to a desired “chunkiness”. I like to still see some pieces of veggies in mine, but it’s personal preference.
These clams are quite large and I prefer smaller pieces in my soup. Chopping them on a cutting board is easy if partially frozen. Lepp Farm Market selected this brand because it’s Ocean Wise and states “no sand” on the package so doesn’t need to be rinsed.
2 cups
Whole milk, evaporated milk or whipping cream I love Agassiz’s “The Farm House” whole milk which has been low temperature pasteurized but is not homogenized, the cream is floating on the top like old-fashioned milk! Using whole milk or whipping cream means the milk won’t separate, or “curdle” if the chowder starts to boil.
Salt and pepper Fish sauce
DIRECTIONS:
I add this to the soup because the clams are not packed in liquid. Trust me on this one! If you’re using tinned clams, use liquid from tins in place of fish sauce
In a large pot or stock pot, saute bacon until slightly crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving bacon grease in
A-LIST
Add clams and milk or whipping cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired. Note: You may use milk but if the chowder reaches a boil the milk will separate or appear curdled. It’s still fine to eat, but just doesn’t look as appetizing.

The Farmer and the Foodie Wouldn’t it be easier to keep our healthy eating resolutions in July rather than January when, standing amid the colourful display of fresh-off-theBC-farm produce a healthy meal-sized salad is at your fingertips? Instead, clad in galoshes, we slosh into the produce department, armed with the best intentions and are stopped short by the price of cauliflower, this year being higher than ever due to the falling loonie and California winter storms. Take heart, frustrated shopper, alternatives are there, you just need to seek a little harder. Currently, Lepp Farm Market carries BC potatoes, beets, select tomatoes, select cabbage, apples, leeks, Red Russian garlic, and fresh potted herbs; our freezer contains Bergen Farms frozen berries, picked and frozen at their peak of BC perfection. An excellent way to eat healthy and Canadian is to incorporate pulses into
your diet - lentils, chickpeas, dried beans and peas. Many people are unaware that Canadian farmers grow 35% of the WORLD’s pulses. Not only are pulses inexpensive, but they have twice as much protein as other whole grains, are high in fibre, high in B-vitamins and key minerals including iron, potassium, magnesium and zinc. The United Nations has designated 2016 “The Year of the Pulse” so you can be sure you’ll be hearing plenty about these unassuming nutritional powerhouses this year.

Tourism in our fast-growing community Abbotsford is not often regarded as a tourist destination; however, what many don’t realize is how diverse the tourism sector really is, and the significant role it plays in the local economy. “Abbotsford is a fast-growing community with an up and coming creative demographic,” says Craig Nichols, executive director at Tourism Abbotsford. “Whether it’s arts and culture, agritourism (specifically micro-brewery/ wineries), technology, food, sport or cultural events, Abbotsford has some dynamic young professionals with lofty goals and visions.” Abbotsford has hosted several large regional, national and international events. The World Baton Twirling International Cup held at the Abbotsford Centre this past
summer attracted over 1,000 competitors, coaches and family members, and contributed $1.2 million in incremental economic activity for the city.
to stay close to home for their holidays and weekends, while encouraging nearby Americans to visit as their dollar goes further.
The Abbotsford International Airshow draws an average of 75,000 people each year.
Using data gathered from local hotels, including occupancy and rates, Tourism Abbotsford was able to calculate that 2015 was a record year in that sector. Occupancy for the year was up 12.5 per cent with revenues up nearly 20 per cent. Nichols says that in real dollars, that translates into local hotel revenue of over $14 million for the year.
Tourism Abbotsford works closely with its counterparts in Langley and Chilliwack to market the attractiveness of the entire Fraser Valley. “Each community has their own strengths that really complement the others,” says Nichols. “We believe that the Fraser Valley has more than enough to offer to compete with other nearby destinations like Whistler, Vancouver Island, Sunshine Coast or Seattle.” A low Canadian loonie in relation to the U.S. dollar is causing more B.C. residents
The Chamber is also working closely with the Frontier Duty Free Association to create a three-year pilot project that would further encourage U.S. tourists through a GST rebate program. “Lots of those people [visiting] need
places to stay, to eat, to shop, or need gas for their vehicles,” says Nichols. “The more reasons we can give people to visit Abbotsford and to get out and explore while here, the better for the local economy.” Tourism Abbotsford is anticipating a surge in 2016 due to a number of local events: The Abbotsford Air Show, Run For Water, Abbotsford Tulip Festival, Girls Fly Too, BC Hops Fest, BC Summer Games, Rogers Hometown Hockey, Canadian Wakeboard Championship, Western Canadian Fast Pitch, and the Provincial Volleyball Championships. “Abbotsford is filled with experiences that today’s visitors are seeking,” says Nichols, “accessible, real and authentic experiences that are good for mind and body.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:
Helping to support the Syrian refugees Recently, I attended a meeting hosted by Abbotsford Community Services to talk about Syrian refugees who will be coming to Abbotsford in the next months. It was very interesting, and informative. We‘re all immigrants here - it might be for 400 years, but our families all came from “away”. Someone pointed out that even our First Nations people came here over the Bering Strait. We all know how important it is to be able to earn a living, much as we grumble about it all the time. Those refugees who have money have already found their ways to new homes. One thing we remarked was that, when Canada accepted immigrants from war-torn Europe many years ago, those immigrants were able to take jobs that did not require expertise in English, such as
factory, assembly line, and warehouse jobs. Nowadays, many of those jobs have been outsourced. These refugee immigrants

neighbours and friends that they’ve known, and not even an understanding of how our processes differ from what they’re used to. When they do not speak English, it makes it all the more difficult for them. This is important. If any of you knows of any jobs in the region, or knows of anyone who might know of any such jobs, that could be filled by people who do not speak English, or who do not have a good command of English, please contact us at the Chamber and let us know. This is how we make our community grow and prosper. Abbotsford Community Services will be hosting a Syrian Refugee Resettlement Public Forum at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium from 6:30 to 8:30pm on Tuesday, Jan. 26th. Find out how you can support refugee settlement in Abbotsford.

Dodge Charger is a modern four-door muscle car
‘‘
’’
The 2016 Charger uses a TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission mated to a 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 engine, which effortlessly generates 292 horses. And it’s a muscle car with mean fuel economy numbers – 12.8/8.6 L/100 kms. The tester’s Rallye Group option with its one-of-a-kind cold-air induction system, sport-tuned exhaust and engine calibration teases another eight horsepower from the V6. The deep throaty exhaust note whisks one back to the 60s when the Airplane’s Grace Slick was also in good voice and I had hair. No surprise that the freeway cruising was fun additionally aided and abetted by the three steering modes: Normal, Comfort and Sport. To be honest, I really didn’t get the chance to put the all-wheel drive system to the test but it has to be a bonus for suburban drivers encountering winter weather on their commutes. But does it play nice as a town car? – In the main yes, though the coupe inhibited view can make supermarket parking a challenge. The V6 did not disappoint. Of course, if you want muscle on steroids then you might want to take a look at the Charger SRT Hellcat model with its supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI Hellcat engine. It produces 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque and a top speed of almost 330 km/h. A slightly tamer option is the Charger SRT 392 model, powered by a 6.4-litre 392 HEMI V-8 engine, delivering 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque. A quick mention of something I doubt was ever a consideration in the old days: the Charger offers more than 80 safety and security features!

WARKENTIN Neta Nettie Helen (Neta) Warkentin (formerly Bergen, nee Peters) 86, passed away on Wednesday, January 6, 2016 at Maplewood House Senior Care Facility in Abbotsford, BC. She was born in 1929 in Gnadenthal, MB. She grew up on a farm near Winnipegosis, MB and attended the Bicton Heath School. She married Alfred Bergen in 1952. They lived in BC for about 20 years and then moved back to Manitoba in 1975 to a farm in the Fork River area. A tragic accident claimed Alfred’s life on April 19, 1989. Neta married John Warkentin in 1991. In 2013 Neta moved back to Abbotsford, BC to be near the care and attention of her immediate family members living there. Services will be held in BC at Clearbrook Mennonite Brethren Church on January 18th, and in Winnipegosis, Manitoba at the Nordheim Mennonite Church on February 6th. www.dignitymemorial.ca
TEICHROB John John Teichrob, late of Abbotsford, BC, passed away January 10, 2016 in Chilliwack at Cascade Hospice at the age of 95. He was born to David and Maria (Unruh) Teichrob in Nikolaidorf, Siberia on April 20, 1920. The family emigrated from Russia in 1925, first settling in Mexico and then in Canada in 1928. John accepted the Lord as his Savior in 1938 and was baptized in 1939. John trusted God for grace and strength and to guide him one day at a time. John met Helen Unrau in 1941 and they were married on June 26, 1943. They farmed in Minto, Man. for 3 years before moving to BC in 1946 where John continued farming. They joined the Matsqui MB Church where he volunteered in numerous capacities, such as building maintenance and treasurer on the church board. In 1975 they joined Central Heights MB Church in Abbotsford where John continued to find ways to offer his skills in volunteer service. John and Helen were blessed with 5 sons and 1 daughter. John was a hard worker, managing numerous occupations at one time, and had an energetic love for life. He loved his family dearly and would do anything for them. He enjoyed camping, playing and watching sports, and having the family home for dinner. Retirement gave John more time to do these favorite activities, as well as developing his craft in woodworking. John and Helen enjoyed life together at Menno Terrace in Abbotsford for 3 ½ years before Helen passed away in June 2011. Predeceased by his infant son Victor, 3 brothers and 1 sister, John is mourned by children - John (Elsie), Rudy (Carol), Len (Irmi), Henry (Rose), Carol (Joel) Bancroft, 16 grandchildren (& 11 spouses) and 23 great-grandchildren. A Service of Celebration of his life will take place Friday, January 22 at 1:30 pm at Central Heights Church in Abbotsford. Dan Unrau (nephew) officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations to MCC would be appreciated. Online condolences to the family may be made to:

Passed away December 28, 2015 at the age of 61 years after a long painful battle with kidney disease. Robert is predeceased by his dad Claude and grandson Nicholas. He is survived by his loving wife Yuan, his mother Emma, daughters Tina (Clayton) and Dannyelle (Jeremy), son Colby, grandchildren Zachary, Jessica, Matthew and Alena, brother Gary, sisters Debbie (Percy) and Darlene (Ray). Robert enjoyed travelling, getting to know people and how they lived. He had many stories of his adventures. Travelling in an old bus with people he met in Africa. It was his ideal trip. The bus broke down often - no problem, he could fix it. He had many talents, the word, can’t, was not in his vocabulary. He will be sadly missed by all of us. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
JONES Joshua Brian September 28, 1985 ~ December 23, 2015 Josh sadly passed away unexpectedly on December 23, 2015 at the age of 30 years. He will be forever missed by his parents Pearl and Greg Hutchison and Gord Green; siblings Kirstie and Jeremy, Papa Jim Jones; aunts and uncles, dear cousins and many other relatives, friends and extended family. Josh was predeceased by Nana Lorraine Jones, cousin Brandon Jones and Grandma Green. Josh’s favourite place was his Nana and Papa’s home in Earls Cove on the Sunshine Coast where he spent many a summer day, boating, tubing, fishing, swimming, dirt biking, and just hanging out with all his Mom’s family. He had such a great sense of humour, loved to make everyone laugh and he gave the best hugs! We will miss you Josh more than words can say. Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 pm, Saturday, January 23, 2016 at Bethel Mennonite Church 24687 56 Ave., Langley, BC. Reception to follow.

PERRY Thomas Edward (TED) September 17, 1952 ~ January 4, 2016 After a courageous six year roller coaster ride with cancer, Ted died closely encircled by his devoted family. Ted was born in New Westminster to Sydney and Laura Perry. He grew up loving all sports, lettering in high school soccer and tennis and playing high level baseball. Ted also had an early passion for categorizing, documenting and studying current events. This evolved into many lifelong interests including stamp collecting, genealogy, outer space and the completion of two degrees in history, a B.A. from UBC (DKE fraternity member) and a M.A. from Western Washington University. Given Ted’s positive personality, his natural sense of humour and his capacity for teamwork, it was inevitable that he found his calling in education. Ted was proud to have been a teacher, a coach and a principal in the Abbotsford School District for 32 years until his retirement in 2011. Ted leaves a heartbroken but uniďŹ ed family behind him, including his wife and best friend Susanna, treasured sons Fraser and Ian, sister Lee Perry (Rich Helmer), brother Dave Perry (Bea), sisterin-law Mhairi Dunnett (Duncan Millar), nephews Roy, Graham and Ross Millar and brother-in-law Rick Jewell. Ted predeceased his late mother-in-law Annette Dunnett, a kindred star gazer, by only three days. Ted will also be forever missed by lifelong friends and travel mates Rod and Elaine Livingston, Owen and Valorie Pawson, Barb and Bob Saunders, Stan and Doreen Petersen, as well as the Citadel boys and many other friends in Vancouver, Abbotsford and Crescent Beach. Ted’s genuine, upbeat and steady disposition made him the best kind of husband, father, brother, friend, colleague, mentor and teammate, and entirely lovable. Ted believed in generously serving others through community involvement and he role modeled this. Ted participated actively in the sports communities of both Abbotsford and Crescent Beach over the past thirty years, and only very recently resigned as President of The Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame and as a long standing member of the tennis committee at the Crescent Beach Swim Club. The last year of Ted’s life epitomized his optimism, his uncomplaining nature and his ability to ďŹ nd fun wherever it existed. Ted continued to regularly play tennis and oor hockey, never missed a UBC Men’s Volleyball match, hosted his annual crib tournament at Crescent Beach and took road trips with his best friends. In September, he packed up his immediate family and took them to Europe for the trip of a lifetime. Over and over Ted said “I’m having a great lifeâ€?. Above all, Ted was a family man who never missed an opportunity to encourage and support his beloved Sue, Fraser and Ian. He adored them, was utterly proud of them, and the feeling was mutual. To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides (D. Viscott). A Celebration of Life will take place in Abbotsford on Sunday January 17th at 3:30 pm, reception to follow. Location: University of the Fraser Valley, Student Union Building (SUB), Great Hall, 33844 King Road.
