Emotions were raw among the hundreds of mourners who attended a vigil Thursday night for slain Mission teen Rachel Pernosky, 18.

remier Christy Clark stopped in at the Abbotsford-Mission Times office Monday morning with two new B.C. Liberal candidates in tow to discuss local issues and test the pre-election campaign waters. With her were Darryl Plecas, running in Abbotsford South and Simon Gibson, running in Abbotsford-Mission. One issue sure to raise a stink during the local campaign is the garbage incinerator proposed by Metro Vancouver. Environment Minister Terry Lake allowed Metro Van to proceed with its waste management plan provided it consults with the Fraser Valley Regional District board, but to date that has not happened. The FVRD member communities are unanimous in their concern about the WTE plan, said Gibson, an FVRD board member. However, he said he’s “optimistic that it’s not going to happen without a great deal of consultation because the pernicious effects of the incinerator directly effect the people of the eastern Fraser Valley.” Plecas noted there were superior technologies that

They held candles, cupping cold hands around tiny flames flickering in the chilly wind. At one point a tall blonde woman sang a few verses of Amazing Grace, and others joined in.

Peg leg for plucky crane

Big birdie gets a mulligan after golf course accident CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

rare sandhill crane injured at a Richmond golf course earlier this month is sporting a shiny new prosthetic leg thanks to the ingenuity of an Abbotsford veterinarian and several other kind-hearted humans. The juvenile crane’s leg was shattered by a flying golf ball at the Country Meadows Golf Course in Richmond at the beginning of March. The bird struggled for several days at the golf course trailing its injured limb before a conservation officer called Myles Lamont, a biologist with a keen interest in the species. “I had my big long net and grain to lure him. He flew in right on cue,” said Lamont. He was able to grab the crane by its neck and fashioned a hood out of an old driver club cover to fit over its head, with a hole cut out for its beak. Lamont called Abbotsford veterinarian Ken Macquisten, who determined the leg could not be saved and amputated it at his Whatcom Road clinic. Fitting a wading bird more than one

20-year-old man was wounded and treated in hospital following a roving shooting that appears to have started at near an Abbotsford elementary school on Friday night. Abbotsford Police Sgt. Casey Vinet said officers were called to Downes Road near the intersection of Gladwin at 10:15 p.m. after witnesses reported seeing gunfire from one vehicle towards another as both travelled east. A short while later, a young man showed up at hospital with gunshot wounds. The altercation may have s t a r t e d n e a r C h i e f Da n George Elementary School at Riverside Road, south of the Gladwin and Downes roads intersection, he said. “Investigators are operating on the theory that there was a shooting near the school, and it continued along with the vehicles towards Downes Road,” said Vinet. The injured man, who has a history of negative contacts with police over the past couple of years, suffered non-life threatening injuries. Police spoke to a few people including the victim, but haven’t had much cooperation, said Vinet. Police blocked off Downes between Gladwin and Seldon roads and Riverside road off Gladwin for several hours on Saturday to comb the shooting scenes for evidence. No one has been arrested, and the reason for the gunfire is unknown, said Vinet, adding the public and mobile gunfire was alarming. “From a public safety standpoint, it’s very concerning,” he said. “Anytime we see open air violence, we worry about a bystander being hurt.” Anyone with information about the incident can contact APD at 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

A4 TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 2013 THE TIMES

– JEAN KONDA-WITTE/TIMES

Above and below, from left, Liberal candidates Darryl Plecas and Simon Gibson and Premier Christy Clark spoke to the Times Monday morning about incinerators, education and ethics.

‘No chance in hell’ WTE goes without our say PREMIER, from page A1 should be explored, but added, “there’s not a chance in hell that that is going through without full consideration of the people of the Fraser Valley.” Clark too, added she’s not interested in forcing a waste-to-energy facility on the eastern Fraser Valley. However, none of them would say when or if Metro Vancouver would actually consult with the FVRD on this matter. With cuts of $46 million in funding to B.C. post-secondary education over the next three years, the University of the Fraser Valley will have to trim up to $2 million from its budget, though it is already one-third over capacity. Plecas said in order to fund education and other services, B.C. must develop its natural gas resources. The “astronomically beneficial natural gas initiative” could create over a million jobs, he said, eliminate the debt, benefit the environment and pay for much-needed services. When asked about the socalled Ethnicgate, in which B.C. Liberal campaign strategists aimed to target ethnic groups for “quick wins,” using government dollars, Clark pointed out that she dealt with the matter deci-

sively, whereas the NDP has yet to act after making a similar gaffe. “I apologized, I ordered an independent non-partisan review, two people left their jobs without severance, and we made some changes as a result of the review,” she said. The NDP, however, refused to admit they siphoned constituency dollars for ethnic outreach, they refused to apologize and refused to review it, she said. “We’re defined not just by the fact we have problems but also how we deal with the problems. Everybody makes mistakes, sometimes serious mistakes. I think character is defined by how we deal with our problems, more even than the fact we encounter them

sometimes,” she added. In response to questions about Plecas’ controversial acclamation after Abbotsford Coun. Moe Gill was pushed aside, Clark said “no one is guaranteed a right to a nomination.” “My job as the leader of the party is to ensure we have the best and brightest candidates. Darryl is one of the best and brightest Canadian thinkers about criminal behaviour and law enforcement, and we are really lucky to have him,” said Clark. “As a leader you want people on your team that you’re proud of, that you’re not afraid to talk about.” After the interview, the trio were off to the Roseland Restaurant in Abbotsford where they expected to meet 40 local leaders from various faiths, invited to pose questions to the new candidates.

Bacons ‘had it made, chose another path’ wore. The results, say Langton, look very much like the future of organized crime in this country. “They transcended economic status. They transcended ethnicity,” said Langton. “Multi-ethnic gangs were basically unheard of anywhere else.” A drug war was nothing new for a region already rife with B.C. bud and cocaine connections. Only this time, it was suburban youth looking for higher profit margins from the Mexican cartels, Hells Angels and low-lying Asian gangs such as the Big Circle Boys from Communist China.

“What they don’t realize is they’re playing with the big boys,” said Langton. “You see other gangsters lived through abuse, foster homes. And then you see the Bacons, who basically had it made and chose another path.” At their height, the Bacon brothers and the Red Scorpions were the stuff of legend to Lower Mainland youth. They had money, girls and guns. They drove bulletproof cars wearing stolen RCMP vests. Then the Surrey Six happened. “What the Surrey Six murders meant was that anyone can become a victim of vio-

City helps remember Taylor

he City of Abbotsford has set up a way for members of the community to offer their condolences and to memorialize Mark Taylor, general manager of parks, recreation and culture following his death in a recent skiing accident. Taylor’s body was recovered from a crevasse on Tuesday afternoon after he fell while on a backcountry trip in Yoho National Park on March 12. Flags flew at half-mast at city hall following the news of Taylor’s death while e x p re s s i o n s o f s a d n e s s from the many colleagues a n d c o m m u n i t y g ro u p s he worked with flooded Abbotsford’s social media network.

Taylor’s family can do so through Abbotsford City Hall via e-mail at communications-info@abbotsford.ca. Cards can be dropped at the reception desk on the main floor of city hall, 32315 South Fraser Way. In lieu of flowers, the family has indicated donations can be made to Parks Canada’s visitor safety program. The funds will be directed to the training of search and rescue technicians within the program. It was members of this highly specialized team that made repeated attempts to rescue Taylor and that ultimately recovered his body dur ing poor weather in challenging terrain.

lent crime and I think it hit home for a lot of people,” Langton said of the 2007 murders that claimed two innocent lives. “They weren’t hit by ricochet. They were executed.” Jamie Bacon now faces a charge of conspiracy to commit murder for the massacre, Jarrod is serving 12 years for cocaine trafficking and Jonathan – the one with the charisma, the one with the most promise growing up – is dead. “As a concept, the Bacon brothers as criminals, is finished,” said Langton. “If anything, they’re a symbol of what happened, what continues to happen.”

iddle-class, athletic and sharp in their own regard. Abbotsford’s Jonathan, Jarrod and Jamie Bacon didn’t have to get into the drug game – they wanted to, writes Jerry Langton in The Notorious Bacon Brothers: Inside Gang Warfare on Vancouver Streets. In their spectacular rise – and fall – from Metro Vancouver’s gang scene, the Bacon brothers helped rewrite the book on who became a gangster in B.C. “People say others fall into the drug trade because social

and economic status cuts them off from mainstream society,” said Langton, a bestselling author and journalist from Ontario. “The Bacons were mainstream society.” Not since Bindy Johal’s crew stole the show in the mid1990s had gangsters gained the notoriety the Bacons did in a neighbourhood drug war that continues to play out to this day. But they, alongside U.N. co-founder Clayton Roueche – also of a privileged upbringing – developed a new landscape in the Lower Mainland, an inclusive one in which the colour of your skin wasn’t as important as the colours you

IHIT hunts for teen mom’s killer Investigators say they’ve identified several “persons of interest”

CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

hile no arrests have been made, homicide investigators have several “persons of interest” on their radar in the search to find the killer of Mission teen Rachel Pernosky, 18. The young mother went missing sometime after midnight on March 16. A neighbour saw Pernosky at about 12:30 a.m. having

a drink in what seemed to be a friendly conversation with a man outside her Kite Street suite in Mission. They were gone half an hour later, said the neighbour. Pernosky was reported missing at 6 p.m. Saturday when her family became concerned after she didn’t show up for a regular visit with her son, and her usually chatty comments on her social media

accounts fell silent. After a desperate search in Mission by family and friends, her body was found at about 5:30 p.m. on March 19 on steep and remote hillside off Old Orchard Road on Chilliwack Mountain. The RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has several “persons of interest” they are interviewing, said IHIT spokes-

woman Sgt. Jennifer Pound on Friday. Police believe it was targeted attack, said Pound. “We believe this was not a random act, and that women in the community do not a have reason to be worried,” Pound said. She added that more than 30 police officers are on the hunt for Pernosky’s killer.

Pernosky’s one-year-old son, Marco, was with his biological father when she went missing. He has custody of their child and police say he is not a suspect.

■ Anyone with information about Pernosky’s disappearance and homicide is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 778-290-5290 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Just don’t ask for life to be fair T

his is the kind of story that should be served as a dietary supplement; it’s full of irony. The Canada School of Public Service, which trains bureaucrats, is in trouble for breaking its own rules on contracting. The CSPS (sample course title: Leadership Through Values and Ethics) apparently rigged contracts for outside or temporary workers. Now there’s a crackdown, of course, and maybe some heads will roll, but are we shocked? Not really. This reminds me of the other story making the rounds last week, about the humility of newly-elected Pope Francis I. We are told that the day after being named the leader of more than a billion Catholics, Francis shunned the “papal limousine” and then headed by more modest vehicle to pay his hotel fee. This was shocking behaviour because why? Please, someone explain to me how a man who has taken vows of poverty refusing to ride in a limo is not absolutely normal. I’m not a Catholic, but is there any religious viewpoint from which the phrase “papal limousine” makes sense? Is there also a papal gold-plated bathroom, a papal mitreshaped swimming pool, a papal high-roller account in Las Vegas? Then, here in British Colum-

the painful truth bia, we have both the Liberals and the NDP having trouble discerning exactly what the difference is between private and party money. The Liberals, who have their hands on the levers of power, have been winning the race to blow public money on getting re-elected, whether through the pandering ethnic outreach strategy or through the deniable (but odious) ads about the BC Jobs Plan and the recent budget. All of these things are indications to me that power corrupts, that privilege and luck come to be seen as rights. Human beings (definitely including me) are blinkered and stupid, most of the time. I have been known to whine and complain about my lot in life, about my job, about the weather, about how bacon-flavoured toothpaste is hard to find. Every now and again, I give myself a smack and repeat the humility mantra: I am a straight white male living in the dawn of the 21st century. I am literate, employed and connected to the Internet. The number of

people who have ever, in history, had it as good as me is microscopic. As author John Scalzi pointed out, being a white, straight male is basically playing life at the lowest difficulty setting. Most important, it’s undeserved. Those bureaucrats rigging contracts, or those past papal officials who signed off on the limo, or those politicians who funded their re-election efforts out of the public till, all felt they deserved it. They’re under appreciated, or they’re holy, or they’re just on the right side of history, see? Everyone does this in smaller ways. We worked hard, so we deserve our houses and bigscreen TVs and vacations. We’re better, somehow, than those people in other places who work much, much harder and live in shantytowns. We tell ourselves our station in life isn’t largely the product of luck, because that doesn’t bear thinking about. You think you want things to actually be fair? You think you deserve every good thing that ever happened to you? Give your head a shake. The scariest thing you can imagine is a world in which we would all be treated with absolute, pitiless fairness.

t’s week two of spring break and that means kids aren’t in school. And that means they could be anywhere, anytime this week. And that means drivers have to be extra careful. And so, BCAA has some timely advice that it would like to share. BCAA has passed along some shocking statistics about children and road safety. Ominously, the statistics originate with the BC Coroners Service. More than 2,400 child pedestrians are seriously injured each year in Canada. Thirty are killed. The kids most at risk for pedestrianrelated injuries and fatalities are between the ages of five and 14 years. “As the weather warms up, more and more children venture outside to play in their front yards, on their streets and in neighbourhood playgrounds,” noted BCAA’s Mark Donnelly. They’re already at an age when kids are easily distracted, but throw in some nice spring weather and a few days out of school, add just one distracted driver and it’s a formula for disaster. We all know that one of the most dangerous distractions for drivers is cell phone activity – talking or texting while driving can be deadly But a University of Alabama study shows that cell phones can be dangerous in pedestrians’ hands as well. In fact, children who talk on cell phones while crossing the street have as much as a one-third greater likelihood of being hit or nearly hit by a car. Distracted walking, as it turns out, is a very real risk. So drivers aren’t the only ones who need to set their cell phones aside while on the road – pedestrians who want to stay alive need to pay attention, too. ■ To comment on this editorial, e-mail us at letters@abbotsfordtimes.com.

Spring Car Care

Following old oil myths may cost drivers more Motorists are often overly cautious

M – JEAN KONDA-WITTE/TIMES

Driving safely with pets may require some advanced preparation to get animals used to travel.

Buckle up Bowser for trip C

ar trips are common form of travel with a companion animal in tow. Many pets are easygoing but some are unaccustomed to travelling and may balk at a road trip. Acclimating and protecting your pet for travel requires patience and some pointers. Buckle up your pet. It’s important to ensure an animal doesn’t become a projectile in the car’s interior should an accident occur, otherwise you risk injury to the pet or yourself. Also, a jittery pet might cause a dangerous distraction, jumping from the back seat into the front, or it could bump the gear shift or get stuck under the gas or brake pedal. Pets may travel in a well-ventilated carrier.

There are also barrier screens and gates that can be installed, typically in SUVs, to restrict a pet’s movement. Some pets need some coaxing and practice to become comfortable on a trip. The ASPCA suggests getting the pet used to longer stretches of travel by taking a series of short trips first over the course of a few days or weeks, gradually increasing the time spent in the car. It may help to bring along a toy or blanket that is soothing to the animal, so it associates the car with a safe place, just like home. – METRO

any motorists prefer to be overly cautious when it comes to maintenance, but sometimes it can cost them money. For example, when to change motor oil has long been a point of contention. Many drivers grew up being told that motor oil should be changed every 5,000 km. However, that myth has been debunked for many modern vehicles, which generally have suggested intervals between oil changes. According to Edmunds. com, in 2010 the average interval for oil changes was almost 12,500 km. Oil also doesn’t necessarily need to be changed before a long trip if it isn’t actually scheduled. Such a change is likely unnecessar y and won’t improve the performance of your vehicle. Black oil also doesn’t

– ROCHELLE BAKER/TIMES

New vehicles don’t necessarily need their oil changed as often as drivers think. Other oil “truths” are also evolving. always signal a change is necessary. Nowadays automotive professionals note that black oil is doing its job and different additives might be changing the oil’s colour. Another long-standing myth regarding motor oil was that once you used a synthetic version instead of a petroleum-based type, you had to continue using the synthetic, which is often

more expensive, to avoid harming the vehicle. However, these two types of oils are now often blended, meaning switching back and forth from one to the other is not likely to cause any damage to your vehicle’s engine. Just be sure to use motor oil that meets the standards stipulated in your vehicle’s owner manual. – METRO

NEW LOCATION OPENING APRIL 1 This month marks the 15 year anniversary for Smart Care Auto Centre and owner Jason Wielenga servicing the community of Abbotsford at his West Railway Street Location, and what a better way to celebrate success than opening a bigger and better second location.

Jason says his new location will “take service to the next level” with no appointment necessary while you wait express oil change service. “People have busy schedules; it can be a pain to accommodate appointments for simple services”. The new location will offer the same full maintenance services as they have for the past 15 years at Smart Care and all services are done by certiﬁed mechanic technicians.

“I pride myself in being able to do everything a vehicle needs so we can build a service history that beneﬁts the client in everything from resale value and less expense to the customer due to the fact that we know your vehicle better.” Owner/Operator Smart Care Auto Centre

For the last 15 years Smart Care Auto Centre has been one of Abbotsford’s only Federal Inspection Centers for import vehicles. Smart Care is trusted with large accounts such as Canada Post and BC Hydro. Jason is very excited about the new location “I build my business on trust and that is the main reason I can expand this new venture”. Along with the new express oil change service there will be 2 bays dedicated for state of the art 4 wheel alignments. “We want to be your one stop shop for full tire service, full service for repair, maintenance and driveability concerns. My motto is You should be able to come to me for everything!”

Driving techniques like maintaining a steady speed or a greater distance between other cars can drop fuel use and increase safety.

Reduce fuel for savings, safety L

ike millions of Canadians who drive vehicles every day, you can take steps to reduce fuel use, save money, curb carbon dioxide emissions and improve safety on our roads. Consider adopting the following six fuel saving behaviours: ■ Accelerate gently: The harder you accelerate, the more fuel you consume. In city driving, where accelerating consumes about half of the fuel used, you can conserve as much as 15 per cent by easing the pedal gently and gradually. ■ Maintain a steady speed: By avoiding unnecessary acceleration you will not only consume less fuel, it will also help to enhance traffic flow, minimize exhaust emissions and deliver safer driving conditions. Consider using cruise control on the highway. ■ Anticipate traffic: Avoid unnecessary fuel consumption by reading the road ahead and anticipating situations before they arise. This basic defensive-driving technique negates the need for

sudden stops and calls on you to maintain your vehicle’s momentum. The first rule is to leave plenty of space between your vehicle and the one in front of you. ■ Coast to decelerate: By predicting slowdowns and removing your foot from the accelerator as early as possible, you can decrease your speed, conserve fuel and save money, all at the same time.

■ Avoid high speeds: Each vehicle operates most efficiently at a particular speed. While this varies from model to model, most cars, vans and light-duty trucks are most fuel efficient when travelling between 50 and 80 kilometres/hour (km/h). You also consume 20 per cent more fuel travelling at 120 km/h versus 100 km/h.

Stylish & Economical

■ Control the air conditioning: The air conditioning system can increase fuel consumption by up to 20 per cent. Open a window instead, or, on the highway, use the vehicle’s flow-through ventilation to cool off.

■ Wash your car regularly: doing so will help to preserve the finish of your car’s paintwork. Avoid household detergents as they can have a dulling effect on a car’s finish. ■ Polish: Many of us tend to skip the polishing step and go straight to waxing – don’t make this common mistake. Polishing not only corrects

paintwork and rectifies imperfections such as light scratches and swirl marks, but it also restores colour and shine. ■ Protect: Waxing is an important final touch to protect your car’s paintwork against harmful environmental factors such as bird droppings and sap. Unlike polish, waxing contains no cleaning or restoring agents and should only be used to seal in the result achieved from polishing: clean, dry, blemish free paintwork.

he Abbotsford Heat defeated the Rockford IceHogs 4-3 in overtime Saturday after losing 5-2 to the Chicago Blackhawks affiliate Friday night at the AESC. Sven Baertschi scored one goal and set up Roman Horak’s overtime winner, as the Heat split the weekend set. “Roman’s a really good player, he’s an NHL player,” said head coach Troy Ward. “He had great ice time. He got what he deserved.” Baertschi has a goal and an assist in each of the Heat’s last two wins, posting four points since his assignment from Calgary. The rookie is the club’s top pointper-game player with 22 points in just 27 games (.814 Pt/GP) and is ahead of veterans Krys Kolanos (.723 Pt/GP) and Ben Walter (.644 Pt/GP) who round out the top three. Ward was happy with his team’s comeback performance after Friday night’s loss. “I’m really proud of them. It’s a good group to coach. It’s pretty impressive what they did [on Saturday.]” The Heat are now Ontario bound

Abbotsford Heat defenseman Mike Matczak battles to get the puck past Rockford IceHogs goalie Henrik Karlsson in first period Friday at the AESC. Right, young fan Evelyn, 3, giant foam finger in tow, can’t take her eyes off the action. for three of the last five road games of the season. Ward’s squad will play the Hamilton Bulldogs on Wednesday and Friday before a Saturday matinee with the Toronto Marlies. “We’ve struggled with Hamilton. It’s been a difficult matchup,” said Ward. “But we have a great matchup with Toronto. We have to play with great discipline at this point.” It’s been a road-heavy monthand-a-half for the Heat who will have spent 24 of 48 days either on

the road or travelling by the end of this seven-day journey. That’s nearly a month of hotel beds, roommates, planes, busses and inconsistent nutrition, a grind that has been tough on this group. “They’re a resilient group. We don’t have a lot left in the tank,” said Ward, adding they’ve had just too many games and long stretches on the road. “They’re physically exhausted, and it’s more mental than physical.” Since Feb. 11, the Heat have played

15 of 21 games in enemy territory where wins have been difficult to come by. Abbotsford has 10 wins in 31 road games this season, as compared to 20 on home ice. With just nine games remaining, Abbotsford is projected to need another 15-17 points to qualify for the playoffs – something that will require a bunch of wins both at home and away. Next home action sees the Grand Rapids Griffins visit the AESC on April 5-6.

Cascades shut out Whitecaps T

he University of the Fraser Valley women’s soccer team defeated the Vancouver Whitecaps Girls Elite team 10 at Newton Park Saturday. The Cascades were part of the Vancouver Whitecaps showcase weekend held in Surrey. UFV played a great defensive game, shutting down one or more explosive U-18 offenses. The Cascades’ goal came in the 80th minute as Victoria Baird scored off a scramble in front of the Whitecaps net. Kayla Klim earned the shutout victory in UFV’s net, playing all 90 minutes and making several key saves to preserve the shutout. “[I’m] proud of our group today, they worked extremely hard and bought into the game plan,” said head coach Rob Giesbrecht. “We were difficult to breakdown and at times dangerous in our attack. Big thanks to the Whitecaps for putting on a quality event and allowing us to be a part of it.”

In men’s action

The University of Victoria defeated the University of the Fraser Valley 2-0 in the semifinal of the Keg Classic at Centennial Field in Victoria Saturday. Then the Cascades played to a scoreless draw in the third place match against Trinity Western University on Sunday. The Cascades outshot the Spartans 11 – 3 in the game. “It was a very good first half for the guys, we played well and were unlucky on several scoring chances,” said UFV head coach Alan Errington. Next up, the Cascades play Tuesday and Wednesday (March 26-27) at Exhibition Park in Abbotsford. Tuesday the women meet the Alberta U18 Canada Games team at 9 a.m. and the men play at 11 a.m. against the U18 men on. Wednesday the Cascades men face FC Edmonton at 11 a.m. – JEAN KONDA-WITTE

Riverside College open house

Hansen wins website competition

Stave Falls Power House reopens

Riverside College in Mission is opening its doors to the public on March 28 and students from all of the college’s programs will be offering tours and showcasing their skills for the public from 1:30 – 5:30 p.m. at 33919 Dewdney Trunk Rd. “This is an exciting school,” says student Sarah Jenkins. “Riverside has changed many of our lives, so we don’t want it to be a secret.” Demonstrations and orientations from each of the college’s programs include hairstyling, business support, community support work, carpentry, plumbing, warehousing, automotive service, information technology and esthetics will be showcased at the open house. “Whenever people visit the school, we hear the same things,” says principal Cathy Anderson. “They are amazed at how large, bright and new this facility is. They are surprised at the technology and supports we are providing to our students. But most of all, they are impressed by the students themselves.” The college is operated by Mission Public Schools. For more information call 604-814-0446 or visit www.goriversidecollege.ca.

Rick Hansen Secondary School in Abbotsford is celebrating a big win in the University of the Fraser Valley’s first-ever ChatterHigh competition along with several other valley high schools. Hansen students took home first place and a cheque for $1,250 for their efforts. UFV recently partnered with ChatterHigh, a newly created website designed with one primary focus – to help students learn more about the post-secondary options available in B.C. Students in five Fraser Valley school districts were invited to answer quiz questions on the ChatterHigh website and earn points for correct answers. It introduces Grade 10 students to the post-secondary options offered at UFV, and gives Grade 11 – 12 students specific program information, admission requirements or UFV events. “Our goal is to show students that navigating university websites doesn’t have to be scary or overwhelming, it can actually be fun. Of course, a little cash never hurts either,” said UFV student recruitment coordinator Daniel Goertz.

The 101-year-old Stave Falls Power House on Dewdney Trunk Road in Mission is now open for the 2013 season. The facility showcases how B.C.’s hydroelectric developments were instrumental in shaping the history and landscape of the province from as early as 1909. This magnificent hydroelectric symbol is adjacent to the Hayward Lake Recreation Area, and provides an opportunity for visitors of all ages to discover and explore a rich human and natural history. Inside the centre, visitors will enjoy interactive games and historic displays telling the story of how hydro power has helped build British Columbia. Through a guided tour, visitor groups are encouraged to think about B.C.’s renewable and non-renewable energy resources, hydroelectric generation, human and natural heritage and conservation. Visitors can marvel at the engineering and see the inner workings of the original mechanical and electrical components installed in 1912. The centre offers visitors guided and self-guided tours, houses a 50-seat theatre and a gift shop and is wheelchair accessible. BC Hydro’s Power House at 31338 Dewdney Trunk Rd., Mission, is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily until Oct. 20. To book a tour, phone 604-462-1222.

Inclusion wins at Diversity Awards T

he 11th annual Fraser Valley Cultural Diversity Awards was a huge success with a sold out crowd at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre March 15. With 52 nominees from Langley, Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Mission there was no shortage of inspiring stories. Everyone is a winner at these awards, and it’s encouraging to see the work that is being done around cultural diversity. “Cultural Diversity Awards bring us together as a community to recognize all the efforts being made to make our communities inclusive,” said Manpreet Grewal, manager of multicultural and immigrant services at Abbotsford Community Services. “It is a celebration of small steps taken each day and we are grateful to our nominees for the work they do, everyone who comes out to support them and our sponsors and partners who make it happen.” For those recipients who were selected, I encourage you to continue your leadership and be that ambassador for cultural diversity. The evening was a fabulous networking opportunity to meet diversity leaders from over the Lower Mainland. The guest of honour was Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of B.C. and Mark Forsythe, of CBC Radio, was master of ceremonies. Guests were entertained by Latin group YAD Cubano and Mike Bertness. Some nominees in the five categories were: Eugene Reimer Middle School, W.J. Mouat Secondary School, Suburban Swing, Cool Runnings, Khalsa Diwan Society, Canadian Forces Recruiting Centre, GirlKIND and Petcetera. Now you’re probably won-

KEN HERAR

On the edge dering what Petcetera has to do with cultural diversity. Petcetera is dedicated to animal welfare, reducing animal euthanasia and promoting responsible pet ownership. Petcetera also plays a large role in School District 33 Chilliwack Special Needs Work Experience program. The recipients of the 2013 FVCDA are as follows: Inclusive Environment – L.I.N.C (Long-term Inmates Now in the Community) Society. Marketing/Outreach (two awards) – Fraser Valley Child Development Centre and PriceSmart Foods Clearbrook. Reflective Workforce – University of the Fraser Valley. Innovative Initiative – Man Turned to Stone T’xwelatse. Champion of Diversity – Francis Xavier Edwards of Mission. “It was such an unexpected honour and a totally humbling moment,” said Glen Flett from L.I.N.C. “The work is all about giving back. We don’t expect such an honour for doing what we should be doing – contributing to our community. “All of us at L.I.N.C are so grateful for the opportunities we are given. This grand demonstration of inclusion inspires us to join together to make a difference.” Living in one of the most diverse regions in the country, we can celebrate and be proud of the Fraser Valley. ■ Ken Herar writes about diver-

menchies makes you smile

Allen & Deesha Thind invite you to the hottest new hangout in Abbotsford 1. mix 2. weigh 3. pay 4. yumm

Because of the unique and convenient self-serve design, you can create your own mix masterpiece exactly the way you want it! It’s as simple as can be.

we make you smile

Menchie’s mission statement is “we make you smile” and the do this by providing a family-friendly atmosphere. Walking into this bright and cheerful yogurt store makes you say “YUMM” before you even get to the yogurt machines! The staff is incredibly

friendly when welcoming you into the store and they explain to you how to mix up your own bowl of incredibly delicious yogurt.

ﬂavours

First, you can select either a cup or one of their freshly made wafﬂe bowls. As you approach the yogurt machines, you can sample as many ﬂavours as you want until you’re ready to get mixing. From cookies n’ cream, cake batter and pomegranate acai to peanut butter, mango tango and vanilla snow, your mixing choices are unlimited. YUMM!

toppings

Now it’s time to select the toppings to add to your frozen yogurt creation. You’ll find a wide variety of fruits, from fresh strawberries and mangos to juicy blueberries and blackberries. If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll find your fix with sprinkles, jelly beans, chocolate chips,

gummy bears and more. Specialty toppings, such as mochi, cheesecake bits and brownie bites are also available, and don’t forget to top the whole thing with an assortment of hot fudges and caramel. YUMM again!

calories

Low carb flavours weigh in at just 10 calories an ounce. That’s about 100 calories for a whole cup of yogurt! All the other flavours are either nonfat or low-fat, but no flavour has more than 30 calories an ounce. There’s only one thing left to ask:

what’s your mix? Head over to Menchie’s to make your mix today!
