Big payout for S.D. axe man

AIRSHOW LANCASTER LOOKER

Leaves with $105,000 SAM COOPER The Province

– JEAN KONDA-WITTE/TIMES

The vintage Avro Lancaster, a Second World War bomber, is reflected in the glasses of Patrick Martin, 18, of Langley, an infantryman in the British army. The Abbotsford International Airshow runs today through Sunday; gates open at 8 a.m., flying begins at 10:45 a.m. daily.

he man who took a hefty axe to Abbotsford school programs has lost his own job – but the blow was softened by a $105,000 payout. Abbotsford School District refuses to explain the sudden departure of district secretary-treasurer Mark Lee after just 10 months on the job. Lee was hired in August 2009 to oversee operations for the school district and handled the job of tackling what the district called one of its toughest budgets in years. First reported @ Lee – former abbotsfordtimes.com director of the MBA program and business school professor at Trinity Western University – had to cut wide and deep after the district learned it faced a $6.1-million deficit for 2010-11. “We are very confident he is the right person to help lead our school district forward,” board chairwoman Cindy Schafer said of Lee after his hiring last year. On June 8, just a week after approving the “challenging” $154-million budget engineered by Lee, the district announced his departure in a terse news release. see LEE, page A4

Thousands of credit cards compromised

olice are urging the public to be vigilant with their credit cards after the discovery of a possible credit card fraud ring operating in Abbotsford. “We live in an information age and we live in a convenience age and everybody wants to do their [bank] transactions electronically,” said Abbotsford Police Department spokesman Const. Ian MacDonald. “The flip side means you have to be diligent in that electronic world with your security, and to diligently monitor the transactions.” Three people have been arrested in two separate incidents connected to the suspected fraud ring. The APD also have an interest

in an Abbotsford residence that may have housed the operation. Police first found out about the illegal enterprise after a security guard at a local business found a memory storage device that contained stolen credit card information for up to 6,000 cards. The information could be used to manufacture new, fake credit cards. On Sunday, police arrested Ryan Lawrence Robert Plotnikoff in connection with the alleged fraud operation. He appeared in court on Monday to face four charges, including unauthorized use of credit card data. Plotnikoff, a 29-year-old Surrey man, was arrested in downtown Abbotsford after he was pulled over for driving without a licence plate. MacDonald said Plotnikoff also had a suspended driver’s licence, 34 credit cards

Trial date set for accused child-killer

Ex-wife skeptical of Wilson’s bipolar claim RAFE ARNOTT RArnott@abbotsfordtimes.com

ccused child-killer Peter James Wilson was not in a Washington State courtroom Monday for a scheduled pre-trial hearing in the slaying of his five-year-old stepdaughter, Clare Shelswell. Instead, his defence attorney Ron Sergi filed for and received a continuance on Aug. 2 that pushed Wilson’s next court appearance to Sept. 11. Wilson, 30, from Abbotsford, faces a first-

degree murder charge for allegedly slitting Shelswell’s throat while on vacation in Washington in June. He’s being held on $3 million bail in a Washington jail since her body was found June 27 at a vacation home in Hoodsport, Wash. He pleaded not guilty to the murder in a Mason County courtroom on July 12. Sergi said the court has set a tentative trial date of Nov. 9. Sergi said he is looking into the possibility of seeking a second-degree murder charge in the case, or exploring a defence based on

California sex offender turns himself in Abbotsford Police arrested a man APD spokesman Const. Ian MacDonald referred to on Wednesday as “a dangerous guy.” Adam Scott Huggins, a 46-year-old registered sex offender from California turned himself in to police around noon on Thursday. This ended the search for the man with an extensive criminal history in the U.S., including robbery, assault with a weapon and numerous sex offences involving children. He had been spotted recently in downtown Abbotsford. MacDonald said media attention may have played a role in his turning himself in. - CAM TUCKER/TIMES

fter a brief mid-summer respite, the sun and stifling temperatures have returned to Abbotsford and the Lower Mainland, but so has the risk of wildfire. The heat wave, which follows on the heels of a five-day cooling trend, has made its way back to Abbotsford with mercury levels expected to rise above 30 degrees Celsius by today. By Sunday, Environment Canada is forecasting temperatures in the low-30s, but it should feel more like the mid- to high-30s. Despite the recent run of cool temperatures and precipitation, the return of warm, dry weather has the B.C. Coastal Fire Centre on alert. “It is returning to dry pretty quick,” said Donna MacPherson, fire information officer for the Coastal Fire Centre. “We were told by our forecaster that there shouldn’t be any more moisture. “It’s going to be bone dry, so all of the forest fuels are going to rebound like crazy.” The fire ban prohibiting all open fires, including campfires and tiki torches, is still in effect. She said the rain that fell last weekend wasn’t enough to end the fire risk completely. “That kind of rain affects the fine

Abbotsford police arrested a university practicum student who worked at Abbotsford Collegiate, on the charge of sexual interference. Brian William Davis, 22, was apprehended Thursday at his Abbotsford home after a warrant was issued for his arrest on Wednesday. Davis is alleged to have befriended a 15-year-old female student and continued the relationship outside of school through text messages and social networking sites. Davis had physical contact with the girl on April 3, according to a statement by Abbotsford police. This is the third time in just over a year that a local teacher was arrested on sexual charges. Corey Hamade, a 28-yearold teacher was arrested in June for sexual touching and luring a child. In July 2009, 49-year-old Martin Careen, who taught at St. John Brebeuf Regional Secondary School in Abbotsford, was charged with one count of invitation to sexual touching and one count of using a computer to lure a child. - CAM TUCKER/TIMES

“Unfortunately” signed non-disclosure agreement LEE, from page A1 The budget reductions for 2010-11 included cuts to 70 staff positions, cuts to education programs such as early learning and to facility and transportation services. The district has repeatedly refused to say whether Lee was fired or quit, or explain the rationale behind his departure and handsome payout. The Province obtained a document released under Freedom of Information legislation that showed Lee received a lump-sum payout of $105,574.75, in a deal signed with the district on June 23. Lee confirmed he was paid an annual salary of $134,547. In f o r m a t i o n re q u e s t s for documents about Lee’s record of service, handling of the budget and interaction with the district are still pending. “Unfortunately, I signed a non-disclosure agreement when I settled with the school district,” Lee told The Province. “As a result, I am not at liberty to discuss anything about the school district or my employment there.” However, he did offer a “point of clarification” that

Wear sunscreen WEATHER, from page A3 As a result of the heat wave, Price said organizers will roll out several misters to help cool down visitors. “These things blow a fine mist into the air and it lowers the temperature of the air. You don’t get wet, you just get cool,” he said. “We recommend people bring an umbrella if they can, and lots of sunscreen.” ◗ To report a wildfire, call 1-800663-5555 or *5555 on your cell phone. To date there have been 1,385 wildfires this year, and 261 currently burning in B.C., MacPherson said.

WILSON, from page A5 “A mental disorder defence in Canada does not lead to an acquittal, but rather to a review by the Criminal Code Review Board which will not release a person until they no longer present a significant threat to the public.” Mason County prosecutor Gary Burleson said his office wants Wilson found guilty of first-degree murder, not seconddegree murder. “That’s our judgment of what he did,” Burleson said. First-degree murder is premeditated murder and second-degree murder is intentional murder, but murder that does not involve premeditation, he said. “[The defence] may be looking at second-degree murder in how it may play in terms of premeditation versus intent,” Burleson said. “Or from a diminished-capacity stand-

point which affects the mental element.” State officials want Wilson to serve an “exceptional” sentence if convicted in the slaying, which means he would spend more time than the usual 20 to 25 years in prison. Burleson said officials filed a notice of intent based on mitigating factors, including Clare’s age and helplessness, the cruel nature of the murder and the horrific impact on her family. But Burleson confirmed that Wilson – who has both Canadian and U.S. citizenship – would not face the death penalty if convicted of the slaying. Crawford said she really thought she knew Wilson after all their time together, but that obviously, she didn’t. “You think ‘[what] if we had a child?’” she said. “It could have been my child . . .”

Sneaking a look at Canada’s spies

pies are among us. Well, at least that’s what our spies are telling us. Or at least, that’s what we were recently told by our top antispy spy (isn’t this beginning to sound like one of those regular features they had in Mad Magazine when we were kids?). We learned from Canadian Security Intelligence Service chief Richard Fadden that some of our politicians are under the control of foreign powers. And then he took it all back. Sort of. But not really. He promised to write up a report for Prime Minister Steve Harpo (whom I believe is controlled by extraterrestrial powers, but CSIS has no jurisdiction there) and his Conservative minions. That report was due on Harpo’s desk last week, and the Iggyzoids from Plan B are clamouring to see it. Opposition flounderer Mike Ignatieff’s IggyLibs are trying to make a federal case out of the fact that the HarpoCons seem to be burying Fadden’s report and its contents, or are hiding the fact that it has not been written, is incomplete, or contains no valid, relevant, or worthwhile information. You can choose whatever combination of elements you wish to build your own basic conspiracy theory. The bottom line keeps showing up as the same thing: for

BOB GROENVELD

Odd thoughts some reason, Steve and his HarpoCons don’t want us ordinary folks to know who the compromised politicians are. For some reason, our prime politician doesn’t want to expose his allegedly traitorous politician colleagues. If they exist . . . but why speculate on that likely but far less fascinating possibility? I think the IggyLibs are smart to make a big deal out of this. It’s something ordinary people with a smattering of spy knowledge gleaned from cheap television shows and cheaper movies will enjoy sinking their teeth into. Personally, I’d like to see the report, too. I think a lot of people who take a casual interest in politics in this country would like to know if there are traitors in our midst. And those of us who watch politics more closely just want confirmation of our suspicions. This is not like the census nonsense. Long forms, short forms, nonexistent jail terms, statistical validity . . . how can an average workaday Joe be expected to wrap his head around intellectual stuff like

that? The IggyLibs ought to let that dog lie. Anyone who has been bugged by StatsCan’s interminable telephone polling – and there are plenty of us – will have no sympathy for the census-takers. Pollsters claiming to be from Statistics Canada kept bothering me for data, and when I allowed them to grill me on one area, they apparently decided I was an easy mark, and stretched their net further. When I started to balk at supplying them with the minute details of my existence, I was actually threatened at one point with criminal action – it was a pretty veiled threat, to be sure, because they probably knew that, while you’re allowed to threaten someone with legal action on a civil matter, threatening criminal action is actually a criminal offence. (I think I hear Dr. Seuss mumbling something in the background . . .) In any case, shortly after that, I had Caller ID installed on my telephone, and by a remarkable coincidence ever since then, I never seem to be home when they call anymore. Statistics are a non-starter to fuel an Iggy election triumph over Harpo. But spies . . . now you have our attention! ■ Bob Groeneveld is the editor of the Langley Advance.

hen shovels sifted soil at last week’s groundbreaking for Abbotsford’s upcoming High Street mega mall, we turned our thoughts to the impact on mom-andpop shops. As many know, the new super centre will benefit from Abbotsford’s recent revitalization tax exception (RTE) – basically a five-year break on general municipal property taxes (100 per cent in year one, reducing annually by 20 per cent until reaching zero in year six and beyond). In order to qualify, developments must run north of the $10 million mark. In other words – to twist an old adage – you have to spend money to save money. And in this case, it seems Shape Properties has more bread in its back room than Silver Hills Bakery. Though president John Horton said the tax break was a nice bonus, he admitted it certainly wasn’t a deal maker. And with his $170 million project 17-times larger than RTE’s prerequisite, we can see why. Huge in every manner, it’s hard to deny the economic benefits of High Street: construction jobs were created instantly, and retail, security, and entrepreneurial opportunities will abound for decades to come. Still, some wonder about possible detriments – like the impact on Abbotsford’s historic downtown. It goes without saying, smaller stores won’t be able to compete with the buying power of Walmart (which will eat up 156,000 of the mall’s 600,000 square feet). Service, many say, could be the biggest factor in independent shops attracting and keeping customers. Let’s not forget, some onus falls on everyday consumers as well. While we’re happy welcoming new amenities into our community, we hope readers remember our city’s roots. If no one shops at local businesses, there won’t be any local businesses. Essendene might be a little avenue, but it paved the way for places like High Street. Now that’s an idea worth shopping around to your friends. ■ To comment on this editorial, e-mail us at letters@abbotsfordtimes.com.

◗ Your view This week’s question: Do you think High Street’s upcoming 600,000square-foot shopping centre will hurt small stores? a.] Yes. It’s another nail in the coffin of our historic downtown. b.] No. It’ll create jobs and competition for other businesses. c.] Who cares? We’re getting a huge Walmart.

THE TIMES FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 2010 ❘

Spend cash on drinking water, not Heat hot tubs Editor, the Times:

Several of the issues raised by G.H. Chandler in his letter (Not impressed with ban, or enforcement, Times, Aug. 3) letter hit homebase. I am a little confused, however, by the reference to spending $10 million on the arena. The referendum asked for approval to borrow $55 million. And that $55 million did not include the $10 million to buy the land, the several million to terminate leases and relocate tenants and remediate the site, or the cost overruns, including the $2 million-plus spent on the time clock and the big bucks for new dressing rooms and hot tubs. Of course even those obscene figures will be dwarfed by what it will cost to get guaranteed water to Abbotsford. And I doubt a hook-up to Stave Lake water could happen in a five-year span. To be completed in five years, I would expect a project of this magnitude to be on the drawing boards by now. And that would mean that we as taxpayers would have a ball-park figure of how our individual taxes would be affected. To my knowledge that has not happened. But it would be a very good idea if it happened soon. In the past, summer water levels were not a realistic indicator of a potential crisis when it came to water supply. Instead, several years ago it was the month of October that found us just two weeks from running out of water. Regina Dalton Abbotsford

Tax holidays today mean hardships later Editor, the Times:

The smile on the face of Shape Properties president John Horton is understandable (Times, Aug. 6), but considering what this photo-op cost Abbotsford’s taxpayers, what does Abbotsford Mayor George Peary have to smile about? But then consideration of what effect their actions will have on taxpayers or their pocketbooks has never been a priority for Abbotsford’s mayor, councillors or city staff. Admittedly this photo-op is costing the taxpayers of Abbotsford less than the photo-ops involving the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre did; but the tax holiday giving rise to this photo-op may well be the council misjudgment that pushes the City of Abbotsford over the edge and sends it freefalling down into the abyss of financial crisis, perhaps even insolvency. One can hope that the new mayor and council (November 2011) will recognize this type of information as information those who pay the cost of decisions, (such as making the tax holiday/break that was supposed to attract new development, retroactive to development already in the pipeline), are entitled to know. Although with Highway 1, a border crossing, an inter-

national airport and Metro Vancouver just a short drive away, it would seem that Abbotsford has much to offer developers – outside of its city council’s behaviour. Still, it was predictable that Shape Properties and other developers who had projects in various stages of development would seek the same freebie that council was using to overcome developers’ reluctance to locate in Abbotsford, and that council would find itself making their tax concessions/holidays/breaks retroactive for any developer that had not already made a significant investment in an Abbotsford development. At some point you simply run out of projects, or have a seriously reduced number of projects, that can be pulled from the future into your current fiscal year. At some point pulling projects into your current fiscal year from the future will leave you without any projects in some future year (or years) – leaving the city without any development cost charges (or at best significantly reduced DCCs) in that year (or years). Tax breaks for DCCs now live for today and ignore the future, while digging the financial hole the city is in ever deeper. This leaves citizens wondering ‘where are we going and why are we in this hand-basket?’ James W. Breckenridge Abbotsford

THE ROAD RULES

‘NPZ’ web pages might just take you exactly where Oprah wants you to go—straight back to the pledge form. It appears that Oprah is a genius motivator. That she has chosen to focus her seemingly limitless energies on this topic and in this way, i.e. via a pledge, is laudable and interesting. For one thing, the exercise highlights one of the problems with the patchwork quilt that is motor vehicle law in the United States and, indeed, in Canada. An interactive map on the site shows the differing cell phone use laws for each state. This means that while some people are opting to pledge voluntarily—in the states without cell phone use laws—others may be pledging to do what the law requires them to do anyway. Is the fundamental assumption of a democracy founded on the rule of law that citizens know the law and will obey it no longer reliable? Is it just the special nature of cell phone usage— we are so badly habituated that the usual sanctions don’t work? … And has Oprah started a revolution to harmonize 50 sets of motor vehicle laws? Oprah isn’t the only NPZ enthusiast. In Coral Springs, Florida, Allstate Insurance is running

But, as if breaking our collective cell phone habit isn’t tough enough, a new study from England concludes listening to sports on the radio is also problematic, especially if you are in any way emotionally involved. Traditionally, radio listening, not requiring driver interaction, has not been considered distracting. Listening to sports broadcasts is different, however, especially if you are emotionally connected to the outcome.

Emotionally connected drivers had 20% slower reaction times which added six metres of stopping distance at 110 kmh—10% farther than drivers at the legal limit for alcohol consumption. Reports of the study describe skeptical reactions by some experts. However, distracted driving expert Paul Atchley, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Kansas said, “if you live and die with every score broadcast on the radio…It will take [your] attention from the roadway, because you can’t attend to two things at the same time. There’s no such thing as multitasking.” Cedric Hughes L.L.B. Leslie McGufﬁn L.L.B. www.roadrules.ca

Do you like to win every argument?

ave you noticed how much of our contemporary entertainment and political culture is powered by the passion of debating and winning an argument, often against the cleverest of opponents? My wife and I enjoy legal dramas and, although the plots can sometimes be overly inventive, even contrived, there is always the excitement of the last few minutes when the lawyer successfully persuades the jury that his innocent client should be found not guilty and released. Although I understand real criminal trials – in both the US and Canada – are more about precedents and evidence, it is obviously more compelling to witness a lawyer effectively arguing a case with positive results. Debates, too, are intriguing. In the political arena, debates on the floor of a legislature can be interesting, in particular if members on both sides are open to changing

their views on a particular matter. (Unfortunately, it seems as if many legislators elected under a stringent party system are constrained from independent thought and will generally abide by the wishes of their party’s leadership.) So-called “free votes” – relating predominantly to matters of conscience – are occasionally permitted in the Canadian House of Commons, and, in these instances, the Members of Parliament may engage in a discourse which might resemble a debate. Many years ago, William Wilberforce, a British MP, became passionately opposed to slavery which was widely supported at the time. He spoke to the issue with great energy and debated the morality of slavery and introduced a number of bills. His debating skills and sincerity ultimately persuaded a majority of his colleagues to support the abolition of slavery, which culmi-

SIMON GIBSON

Faith that matters nated in an Act of Parliament that was eventually adopted in its fullest form, just a few days before his death in 1833. Wilberforce changed the course of history through his skills of debate and thousands of slaves throughout the British Empire of the day would be emancipated and allowed to live freely. You may be able to think of a time when you successfully argued with a friend or family member: it could have been something relatively minor but you still received the satisfaction of knowing you had won. At work, there might have been an issue that was debated by

co-workers and you effectively persuaded them to support your views. In most instances, we expect to triumph over others – in an argument or debate – if they are less informed on a particular topic. We may also believe we will win over someone whom we might consider to be less intelligent, even foolish. But, what about arguing with something that has no intellectual capacity whatsoever, no skills of persuasion – and losing? Virtually all of us struggle with such a battle, although it is not apparent even to our closest friends. Addictions or destructive habits such as alcohol, drugs, pornography, food and illicit relationships, for example, can destroy us and the inner “debate” causes us to feel defeated and empty. The Bible says, “He who sins is a slave to sin.” Sin – all the bad things we have done – torments us

and weakens our resolve. But there is hope! The Bible also says “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Jesus, who was perfect and without sin, accepted death on a cross to take away your sin and give you hope and power to overcome evil. And he rose from the dead. You don’t have to it alone! As you are reading this, you may be thinking: I want to clean up my life and receive Christ as my Saviour. Why not call upon him today? Tell him you want to change and confess your sins and your need for him. Now would the perfect time to make your decision. ■ Simon Gibson attends church in

Abbotsford and writes Faith that Matters, which appears monthly in the Abbotsford-Mission Times.

FOR LEASE CHURCH MEETING PLACE SUNDAYS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL GYM IN ABBOTSFORD INFO. - 604-308-2727

We are a smaller group of friends that have transplanted our gathering from Cloverdale to Abbotsford. We enjoy our praise and worship led by gifted, talented and inspiring worship leaders who lead us into wonderful expressions of adoration to God. We find help and inspiration and direction in teaching by those who share each week. We have a desire to help teach children to be all God created them to be in class ages to 12 years. We desire to make friends with all who are maturing in their relationship with God or if they are curious spiritually. We work diligently at making everyone feel welcome. Our hope is that the hurting, seeking, lonely and anyone for that matter; would find a place to mature and be able to contribute in some loving way to the community of Abbotsford. We have a no pressure attitude so that people can interact with others, hang around the fringes in curiosity, enter in with gusto, ask for prayer, worship in intimacy – simply come and go according to each one’s comfort zone and zeal. Our hope is that you would feel to blend in as a part of what is happening at Connect Church and share your own unique self to actively contribute in our movement to enrich our own gatherings and to self sacrifice in helping to introduce God’s love into broken lives around us. Connect Church is led by a Pastoral Team consisting of Blake & Adrienne Joiner and Sean & Jamie Sabourin. We meet in the gymnasium at the Secondary Campus of Abbotsford Christian School every Sunday morning at 10:00 am. There is a coffee time beginning a t 9:30 am and again following the service.

A14 ❘ GARDENING ❘ FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 2010 THE TIMES

Gardeners: try your hand at foxgloves

hrough the summer, spires of pink or white foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea) rise along roadsides and in clearings – these can be thick colonizers of recently-bare soil but tend to thin out as other plants re-establish and compete. A biennial, with tiny, fragile seedlings, foxgloves seldom infiltrate where healthy vegetation is already present. Originally from Europe, foxgloves are pretty, long-flowering and loved by hummingbirds and bees but some people detest them due to their huge seed production

and also because they’re very poisonous. Other gardeners love their spectacular bells, long-flowering habits and sturdy stems but wear gloves when dealing with them and remove all the unwanted seed capsules. Gardeners with sensitive skin have reported soreness after from handling foxgloves. Most of the 20 foxglove species originally came from countries around the Mediterranean. Generally, they’re hardy to zone 4, tolerant of most soils, reach about three feet (1m) and are adaptable to sun or shade.

They bloom from the base of the flower spike upward. Meanwhile, the stem grows longer, new buds form, become flowers and seed capsules stretch far up the stalk. Left long enough, seed capsules will out-stretch flowers. Their longevity is variable. A warm winter may see a few biennial foxgloves becoming perennial (at least for a while). Meanwhile, perennial species of foxgloves are often short-lived (but not always). Foxgloves have a long history as a magical plant of many names including ‘Dragons Mouth,’ ‘Witches Gloves’ and ‘Fairy Caps.’

Like other ‘magical’ plants, foxgloves were used as medicine by old-time healers. The drug digoxin, derived from digitalis, is still used today as a strong cardiac stimulant. The most popular is probably a D. purpurea hybrid called ‘Foxy.’ If you plant this in late winter, it should flower in about five months from seed and throw up several flowering spikes in yellow, cream, white, lavender, rose-pink and red with marbled markings on the blooms. Among the foxglove species, one stand-out is D. ambigua (also called D. grandiflora).

ANNE MARRISON

Green thumb Flowers are a beautiful, soft yellow and it adapts well to small spaces because this plant only stands about two feet tall (60cm). It self-seeds, but not excessively. Some plants may become perennial. ■ Anne Marrison is happy to answer

garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca.

Sandy Henderson Insurance Advisor 604-870-3852

Answer: There are many important factors in choosing a sunblock. We have to remember to generously re-apply every 2 – 3hours. Along with that we need to purchase a‘broad spectrum’product that has a minimum SPF 30, which also protects UVA and UVB rays (which can cause pigmentation and skin cancers). Please be sure to also check the expiration dates on the products as they average a 2 year shelf life. Dr. Marianna Snyman

to everyone over 16 years. It is going to be a wonderful exercise to blend everyone’s thoughts from our different age brackets into one contest. I have picked a new set of judges, except for a couple. There will be three winners in each category and an honorable mention. All essays must be 300 words or less and e-mailed to me at the address below or dropped off at the Times office (30887 Peardonville Rd., Abbotsford). Include your name, category and contact information. The deadline hasn’t been finalized and all winners will be featured along with their essays. Now, it’s the moment you have been waiting for. After many sleepless nights and discussions, this year’s diversity question is: How do we create an opportunity for different cultures to work together towards a harmonized, inclusive, multicultural community? Good luck.

Capture minds with essay contest es, its that time again. The AbbotsfordMission Times is presenting the Building an Inclusive, Diverse Community essay contest for the second straight year. This is my fourth year hosting this event and it just keeps getting better. It’s truly inspiring listening and reading to many of the fabulous ideas that are waiting to be uncovered. Believe it or not, this is also part of my job. But we have made one new exciting addition this year. You guessed it, making it more inclusive for everyone. Many young writers have been asking me around town: are you doing that essay thing again? It’s encouraging to inspire people to be reflective about our society. When we speak about diversity, for the most part we are still getting to know one another. Our social environment is constantly changing and our diverse relationships are continuing to grow and flourish. Everything takes time and we must nurture it for it to blossom. I have this vision of looking down the road 20, 30 or 50 years from now and seeing the benefits from our actions today. The Times is opening this contest to everyone as part of our new addition. We are hosting two categories: youth and adult. For youth, participants have to be under 16 years of age. The adult category is open

Hall’s walls perfect for local art

City, schools, Reach bring culture to streets CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

t’s only fitting that Abbotsford Parks, Recreation and Culture is showing local artists at its new digs at City Hall. When the department moved this year to the third floor, department head Mark Taylor approached Suzanne Greening, the executive director of The Reach gallery, about installing art in the common areas. Greening checked out the well-lit area and expansive walls, and thought it would be a brilliant place to hang art. It’s now a satellite gallery for The Reach. “I believe the city should be promoting art, and it’s very appropriate for Parks, Rec and Culture,” said Greening. The exhibits, which began with the Abbotsford Photo Arts Club and then painter Darrell Spenst, have been “very successful,” she said. When there was a gap between the second and third exhibits, residents of the third floor were keening to “It’s a city’s most vis- see artwork back in ible commitment to the halls, she said. “That tells me [the culture. For people, it initiative] is working. brightens up their day, Now there is art envy and it makes people from other floors, they’re jealous,” she smile.” said. So in the fall, the – Tamaka Fisher gallery will extend to city hall’s fifth floor. The exhibition space is great for artists. The works are professionally hung, the lighting is good, and artists are welcome to include a price list to sell their work, said Greening. Artists interested in exhibiting at City Hall should contact Greening at 604-864-8087 or at sgreening@ thereach.ca. Public art is popping up elsewhere in the city. The archives branch of The Reach has a heritage display at the Bakerview Ecodairy on Sumas Way. And this week, two huge installations went up between the Agrifair main building and the show arena, part of a collaboration between the city and the University of the Fraser Valley fine arts department. “It’s a gorgeous piece, celebrating Abbotsford’s heritage and the activities that go on at the site,” said Tamaka Fisher, the city’s arts and heritage coordinator. “[UFV teacher] Chris Friesen and his students did such a great job and we’re so grateful.” Fisher hopes to continue the program, as it gives art students a real-life experience in responding and preparing bids for consignment works.

40 Wild & Wonderful Years!

– JEAN KONDA-WITTE/TIMES

Arts co-ordinator Tamaka Fisher and others enjoy homegrown art at City Hall. Below is a detail from McDonald Park, one of the works by Abbotsford painter Bente Hansen, on display now on the third floor. She is also teamed with much younger local artists. Twenty-two students from Chief Dan George middle school created a tile mosaic, which is now set into a plaza on the Discovery Trail, where it meets Gladwin Road. Her next project is with the students at Margaret Stenerson. Public art is valuable as it humanizes public spaces, she said. “It’s a city’s most visible commitment to culture. For people, it brightens up their day, and it makes people smile.”

Bente creates on third floor gallery Big blousy red poppies and dreamy landscapes by Abbotsford painter Bente Hansen currently welcome visitors to City Hall’s third floor. Her images are drenched in colour, and imbued with a serenity that draws in the observer. Hansen, who picked up her brushes in 1999 after a long break from creating and studying art at the University of British Columbia, takes much of her inspiration from the natural world. She travels around the Pacific Northwest and the Fraser Valley, where she regularly sketches images in local parks or favourite spots that give her long, spirit-lifting vistas. “My plein air sketches bring ideas to my intuitive landscapes, which may start with a few simple strokes of colour and are finished with the memory

from a location traveled to,” she explains. Forms and colours have some sense of the familiar, however her skies are no longer just blue, and forests rarely stay simply green, but include violet and yellow and orange, reminiscent of an Emily Carr palette. All Hansen’s works are for sale. ■ Visit the third floor gallery weekdays at City Hall,

The Magician & The Gates of Love, and Jordan Klassen perform tonight at 7:30 p.m. at The Reach, Veterans’ Way, Abbotsford. Tickets are $15, students $12 at the venue. Contact 604 864-8087 or info@thereach.ca.

Summer Garage Sales Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Your month of joy continues! Problems might not be solved, but they ebb. You might need to make a choice regarding a relationship, a relocation, or an opportunity Monday, Friday/Saturday. Hint: doing what you want, opting for expansion or under standing, for cheerfulness, for legal, publishing, international or educational “growth” is luckier than seeking to further your ambitions through a relationship. But start no new projects before Sept. 12. (Others might be skeptical toward you for the next two years if you show “naked ambition.” You might marry into another generation.)

Cancer June 21-July 22: Start nothing new before Sept. 12. Instead, apply yourself to ongoing projects, and protect these from supply disruptions, secondguessing, delays and mistakes. Your home life is very active now through early September – if not on the outside, then emotionally. A real estate deal could involve your career or prestige ambitions – but don’t start a new one: keep with what’s begun. A “long lost” acquaintance might get in touch – good, not spectacular. Sunday/Monday are romantic. Work succeeds Tuesday/Wednesday. Relationships turn volatile Thursday/Friday: a structural change is “destined.”

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Before Sept. 12, start no new projects, especially in legal, governmental, administrative, manufacturing, tax, charitable, spiritual, educational, far travel, publishing or similar areas. Your romantic, social and personal magnetism is at a great peak – take advantage, don’t stay home! However, since nothing new will work, focus (until Sept. 12) on people you’ve already met. If you’re after love, stand before old ﬂames, or present company. This week, your own sober outlook might subtly clash with kids, home, realty objectives – a partnership needs hope, assurance: give it!

Taurus April 20-May 20: Start no new projects before Sept. 12. Slowdowns, indecision, secondguessing, missed appointments and supply disruptions could “populate” the weeks ahead. An old ﬂame might return soon – if after Aug. 21, it could lead to strong romance! If that happens, you will need to dec ide whether this relationship has a long-term future. Many half-hidden, slowly evolving forces and “subconscious wrestling matches” exist here. But it could be exceptional! Early week demands a choice between chores/duties. Financial luck high Tuesday/ Wednesday. Love ﬁghts work, Thursday onward.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Defer new starts, projects, relationships until Sept. 12. Those begun now will meet indecision, delay and, ultimately, lack of heart – especially in monetary regions. Focus on what’s already started – and money (etc.) from the past. August is a fine time to revisit old haunts, friends – pleasure is certain, flirtation and a bit of heartquickening quite possible, too! A trip might interfere with your work demands: if so, you choose. Sunday/ Monday emphasize home, kids and a casual vs. profound choice (in relationships,law,intellect,travel). Romance, creative flows, Tuesday/Wednesday!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Start nothing new before Sept. 12, especially in social, investment, ﬁnancial and organizational zones. These areas might yield fruits from the past – be aware, ready to pluck them. (E.g., someone from an old social circle might call; or a past investment you couldn’t capture returns. Jump in, if you know it’s good.) A secret love could attract you August or early September. You might be wiser to wait until Sept. 9 onward, when your magnetism will soar! Vexations in communications/travel signal the need for a whole new system/vehicle, etc. – after Sept. 12.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Start nothing new, relationships nor projects, before Sept. 12. Delays, indecision, second-guessing and “no shows” increase. A former domestic matter, a prodigal child, a real estate idea/urge/project might return. This could be good, but be cautious: over the few months ahead, someone might oppose you in these areas. (This could take the form of unpredictable action by a cooperator or partner.) You’ve entered romantic territory. Early week, you face a choice between romance and friendship, or between being creative or social. Late week, DO NOT gamble with ﬁnances or sex!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Finish, advance ongoing projects. Refrain from starting anything new. A slowdown starts next week, lasting to Sept. 12. Sunday/ Monday could solidify a source of income,and/or bring a durable set of ideas, a practical “life philosophy” that helps you go forward steadily. Instability also lurks, if you allow pleasure or romantic notions to steer you away from duties or practical goals. Contemplate the different paths of earnings versus investments. You might make a choice between these now to mid2011. Rest, contemplate to Tuesday. Money’s good Friday/Saturday. A good week!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Defer new starts until Sept. 12 onward – especially in relationships, career, VIP relations, litigation, negotiation, relocation and dealings with the public. (E.g., don’t start a public relations campaign, lawsuit, love affair, etc.) You might proﬁt from reprising the past in these – e.g., contacting a former employer in your career search. Your social life hums along, and love could be real, “light” and non-suffocating. (Love’s laughter can be far healthier than love’s extremities.) You impress others Tuesday/Wednesday! All week, revise hopes to meet money realities.

August 15 - 21 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Don’t launch new projects or relationships before Sept. 12. Reprise past ventures, or continue with ongoing ones – protect the latter from misunderstandings, delays, missed appointments, etc. An old flame (the love was gentle, proper) might reappear in the weeks ahead. If you’re unattached, “re-engaging” probably couldn’t hurt! (He/she is ready to “go forth” sexually.) All week, your status, prestige, relations with higherups come under review. (It could be your review!) Deep changes are in store. Be aware that finance (and sex) has a “fooling glitter” right now. Caution. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Don’t start new projects or relationships before Sept. 12. Especially avoid new financial,mutual or partnership ventures.Deep desires, urges and insights well up from the past – a past sexual or financial interest might return also. Nothing wrong with these, but examine the financial before proceeding. Your legal, intellectual, love, cultural, educational and far-travel spheres grow increasingly active – and beneficial. This week presents a rare chance to seal a deal (NOT a new one!) in any of these areas – including love! Wishes can come true midweek – be diplomatic, reasonable. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: An “ex” might reappear in the next several weeks – or a relocation opportunity, a deal that was never quite cemented, an opportunity to place yourself in front of the public; if you’re unlucky, even a lawsuit. You’re working hard, so have less time for these “opportunities” – therefore, jump fast, carpe diem. Your financial and sexual urges are active and rising, but neither fits easily with your “wisest future,” so do some deep pondering – remember, you’re exiting a decade of hard work, entering one of enjoyment. Be ambitious mid-week. Decide between quick money, and big. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

From tragedy to triumph

CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

t’s never easy to turn a tragedy into motivation, but Abbotsford’s Rhys Burnell has done just that. Burnell, a member of the Burnaby Mountain Selects lacrosse team, the B.C. Midget Box Lacrosse team and the U-16 Field Lacrosse team, was rocked when he found out about the sudden death of his close friend and teammate Chris Friesen on March 25. Friesen, who grew up in Langley, was just 17 years old. He was far too young, said Burnell, a 16-year-old Grade 11 student at Yale Secondary. “I went through a lot of emotions,” he said. “I was sad, I was confused. I tried to figure out why he died but I managed to just get through it.” Delivering the news to their son that his friend had passed away was also an emotional experience, said Burnell’s mom Lori. “It was very difficult because we were very close family friends,” she said. “It’s devastating. It’s hard to explain to kids this young why these things happen. I don’t think there is an explanation but to see all of the boys take up the cause and keep working hard in Chris’s name and really pay tribute to him . . . Chris lives on through these young guys.” “There’s a picture of him holding a lacrosse stick and it says ‘Be The Best’ at the top,” added Burnell. He has heeded that advice. Burnell was recently named as the lone Abbotsford recipient for the inaugural Burnaby Mountain Selects Scholar Athlete Awards presented by Jeff Cathrea and Brent Hoskins, co-head coaches of the SFU men’s lacrosse team and founders of the Burnaby Mountain Lacrosse Elite Development Program.

Lone Abbotsford recipient of inaugural lacrosse scholarship

– CAM TUCKER/TIMES

Rhys Burnell, a Grade 11 student at Yale Secondary and a member of the Burnaby Mountain Selects, is the lone Abbotsford recipient of the inaugural Burnaby Mountain Selects Scholar Athlete Award, which recognizes high academic achievement and on-field excellence. The award recognizes high academic achievement, as well as on-field excellence and is given to 57 student-athletes from B.C. and Washington. Students must have grade point average of 80 per cent or higher. The award, which Burnell will receive at the Maple Leaf Awards Dinner in January 2011, is exciting given the adversity he has faced the past few months. “It feels great,” he said, beaming.

Briefly

Hayden breaks record Mission’s Brent Hayden and the rest of the UBC Dolphins broke their Canadian club record in the men’s 4x100 medley relay recently to cap the pool portion of 2010 Summer Nationals swimming competition at Saanich Commonwealth Place. The Dolphins - including Brian Johns, Scott Dickens, Rory Biskupski and Hayden - clocked 3:40.08 in the final to eclipse their previous mark of 3:40.84 set last year. Dickens, Johns and Hayden were also members of the ‘09 record-setting foursome. It marked the second Canadian club relay record at the event, which also served as the second of two trials to finalize Canadian team selections for the Pan Pacific Championships, being held Aug. 18-22 in Irving, Calif. The victory capped a great week for Hayden,

“It’s a lot of fun to play with guys on a really good team and to just show up and play your best.” As much fun as excelling in both box and field lacrosse is, putting up a better performance in the classroom means the most to Burnell. “It’s very important,” he said, “because I’m looking for a university scholarship.” Modest about his grades, which range between As and Bs, Burnell said it’s important to take the same

work habits from lacrosse and apply them to education. “I just go to school and do the work,” he said, adding his favourite subject was mathematics, although he admitted, bashfully, it’s not necessarily his best subject. “But it’s the same with lacrosse.” His accomplishments both in lacrosse and in the classroom have mom and dad brimming with pride. “I’m extremely proud of Rhys,”

said Lori. “He works really hard and he has to manage his time really well at school in order to do all these things. “I think sport teaches a lot of lessons like working really hard and training hard and setting goals and that comes into play the rest of your life.” And it seems lacrosse will continue to play a huge role in Burnell’s life. “I love the game.”

who collected a third individual gold with a win in the 50 metre freestyle in 22.73. He also won the men’s 100m freestyle BRENT HAYDEN in 49:19. Hayden, of all the world-class swimmers now locking their gaze upon the 2012 London Summer Olympics, has something to prove. He didn’t hesitate when asked about his aspirations this year for the 2010 Pan Pacifics in California and 2010 Commonwealth Games in October at Delhi, India. “Gold would be nice. That’s always the ultimate goal,” said Hayden.

It appears Staffan Kronwall will not opt out of the final year of his one-way two-year deal with the Abbotsford Heat’s NHL affiliate, the Calgary Flames. On Tuesday, a report out of Sweden said Kronwall, who played in 44 games with the AHL Heat last season, wanted out of the final year of his deal with Calgary in order to play in Sweden. But on Thursday, Kronwall’s agent, Claes Elefalk, told Sport-Expressen that the 6’5” defenceman turned down offers from Djurgardens of the Swedish Elite League and the KHL, and will honour his NHL contract.

The second registration date for the fall roller hockey league is Saturday from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Sports Zone, 33147 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford. The league is for boys and girls, ages 7-16, is non-contact and there are no practices. All stats and standings are posted online. The cost is $135 for the season and includes a free jersey. Check the website at www.agrechockey.com for information on the league, including stats, schedules and registration dates.

Cascade men win first ever game against NCAA rival

he University of the Fraser Valley men defeated the University of San Diego Toreros 73-61 to register their first ever victory over an NCAA Division 1 basketball program in an exhibition game Wednesday night at home. The Cascades led from start to finish as they opened the game with a 10-2 run and built up a six-point advantage after the first quarter, 22-16. In the second quarter the Cascades held San Diego to eight points as they put on a defensive display for the hometown crowd. In the second half, UFV withstood several attempts by San Diego to get back into the game as they matched the Toreros basket for basket. “I am very proud of our guys, their work ethic tonight was great,” said head coach Barnaby Craddock. “It was good to see our maturity on the court especially when San Diego made several runs at our lead in the second half.” The Cascades were led by Sam Freeman, with a game high 21 points. Kyle Grewal added 15 and James Elliott of Abbotsford notched 12 points. Grewal led all Cascades with 10 rebounds. On the women’s side, the Cascades fell to

Texas Tech Lady Raiders, 78-41, at the Envision Athletic Centre Wednesday night. The young Cascades played well in the first half as they competed with the more experienced NCAA Division 1 team from Texas. The Cascades led midway through the first quarter 10-9 and stayed close to the Lady Raiders until a late run by Texas Tech in the second quarter opened up a 34-21 halftime lead. In the second half the Raiders held UFV to 20 points as they showed why they will compete for the Big 12 Conference title this coming school year. “We held our own in the first half and played well,” said Cascades head coach Al Tuchscherer. “Our team has depth and we proved that we will compete this year.” The Cascades were led by Tessa Hart and Lauren Rieu who both had a nine point performance. Sarah Wierks led all Cascades with four rebounds. Up next the Cascades women will host Texas Christian University (NCAA) Friday night at 6 p.m. at the Envision Centre. The men play at home on Tuesday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m. when they host Idaho State University. – STAFF REPORTER WITH FILES FROM UFV

Will it be the Heat Klippenstein takes silver in triple jump or the Flames? Valley Royals’ Aisha Klippenstein capped off her season by winning a silver medal in the triple jump at the Canadian Youth Track Championships (16/17 year olds) held last weekend in Ottawa. Klippenstein leaped 11.53 metres to place second to Julia Stille of Ontario who had a winning jump of 11.76 metres. It was an excellent performance for the 17-year old who just completed MIKE MASON her first year with the Royals. Royals’ Emma Beckett placed fifth in the pole vault (3.20m) while Alexandra Siemens, who competed in the 14/15 year old division, placed 11th in the 2,000 metres (6:53.11).

Ruky Abdulai and Mike Mason were chosen to the Athletics Canada team of 40 athletes that will compete at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India from Oct. 6 – 12. At the recently concluded Canadian Senior Championships, Abdulai placed second in the long jump while Mason was the silver medalist in the men’s high jump. “At the Commonwealth Games in Delhi we expect all athletes to perform at their highest level for this year,” said head coach Alex Gardiner. “We are using the Commonwealth Games as an important benchmark for those athletes pursuing selection for the London Olympic Games.” – STAFF REPORTER

ment to his game all the time and obviously he overcame adversity so he should be a stronger individual for that now,” said Sutter. “He missed quite a bit of last season, finished strong . . . so we expect him to pick up were he left off last season and challenge for a position in Calgary.” And that is what Pelech is planning to do. The Flames are stacked when it comes to defencemen, with eight committed to one-way contracts, and Seabrook, Negrin, and prospect TJ Brodie also waiting in the wings. It will be no easy task trying to crack a spot in Cowtown, but Pelech is certainly looking forward to the challenge. “ With ever y camp you want to go in and make the team,” he said, adding his three years in the American Hockey League have helped in his development. “For me, I just want to come in and compete for a spot and do the best I can.” Capable of disguising his opponents as advertising on the boards by way of thunderous body checks, the knock on Pelech from scouts who poured into the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre last season is that he’s not a great skater. But Pelech said he’ll focus on all areas of his game in order to make it to the NHL. “You’ve got to work on getting better at everything and my goal as a young player is just to get better everyday.”

e s pite the muggy temperatures of southern Ontario, Matt Pelech has been able to enjoy his summer. The avid golfer hasn’t been hitting the links as much – but more importantly, he has been given a clean bill of health after a blood clot forced the hard-hitting defenceman to miss 28 regular season games from January into the middle of April. “I’m cleared to do everything and I’m off the [medication],” said a relieved Pelech from Toronto. “It’s going good, I’m training and getting back on the ice and all that good stuff.” His absence from the Heat blue line was more than noticeable. With John Negrin out first with a wrist injury then a fractured knee cap that was discovered just before he rejoined the team in February – he just started skating – and Brett Palin out with a concussion, Pelech’s injury was magnified. It put a lot of strain on the likes of Staffan Kronwall and Keith Seabrook, and not being able to play amounted to considerable frustration for Pelech. “It was tough,” he said. “Any time you’re not playing, whether it’s a normal injury or something scary like that, it sucks to be out. “I didn’t realize how scary it was until I was in the hospital, but I was very fortunate to have great people who helped me through it.” W h i l e Pe l e c h h i m s e l f admitted he wasn’t overly frightened by the illness, others in the Flames organization thought differently. “Hockey wasn’t a priority,” said Flames’ director of player personnel Duane Sutter. But Pelech, 22, returned, and with him came the physical swagger the team had been lacking on defence. He became a heat-seeking missile at times throughout the Heat’s post-season run, which earned him the praise of the Sutter family. “He’s a character guy that has to bring the physical ele-
