Search for justice

No one in charge of criminal justice system: Police chief Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Ed Schellenberg would likely still be alive today if the justice system did not take an “anything but jail” approach to dealing with criminals, his brother-in-law told a crowd attending a town hall meeting Tuesday night in Abbotsford. Steve Brown said two of the four people killed in the Surrey Six slayings had “shocking criminal histories” and should have been in jail. Instead, they were among the four that became the targets of an alleged gang hit in which Schellenberg, 55, of Abbotsford was an innocent bystander, along with Chris Mohan, 22. Police believe Schellenberg and Mohan were killed because they were potential witnesses. Brown refers to the killings as “the Surrey four, plus two.” They occurred exactly three years ago yesterday – on Oct. 19, 2007 – at the Balmoral Tower apartment complex in Surrey. Brown criticized a system that he said is more focused on rehabilitation than punishment. He was joined in these sentiments by fellow speakers Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich and retired provincial court judge Wallace Craig. “I’m convinced we’re the only jurisdiction in the world that has these prolific offenders out in the streets,” Brown said.

Steve Brown, brother-in-law of innocent Surrey Six victim, Ed Schellenberg of Abbotsford, addresses a town hall meeting Tuesday night. Craig said judges in the past were “nononsense,” but in the last 30 years they have shied away from tough sentences.

“That’s what they’re there for, and if they can’t cut it, they shouldn’t be there. They should go do civil cases,” he said. Craig said “rampant plea bargaining” and “sweetheart deals” have ensured that justice is not properly served for the victims of crime and that effective deterrents to crime do not exist. Rich said contributing to the inefficiencies is a complicated and fragmented system in which the federal government is in charge of the Criminal Code of Canada, while the provincial government is the administrator. “When you add that all up, what you have is two masters .... We have put no one in charge of our criminal justice system,” he said. Rich said the system is “falling down under its own weight,” resulting in unbearably long delays in cases getting to court and reaching a conclusion. Even a simple impaired charge takes an average of two days in court, he said. When penalties are doled out, they are not enough of a deterrent to prevent future crimes, Rich said. He cited the example of a marijuana grow-op able to produce an annual gross income of between $500,000 and $1 million in an average-sized house. A first-time offender arrested for such an operation would face a fine of between $1,500 and $2,000, he added. He addressed Abbotsford’s gang issues and the challenge in trying to lure kids away from a lifestyle often portrayed as a “viable career option.” Rich specifically referred to the Abbotsford Police’s latest challenge – the Duhre group, which he said now controls drugs in Continued on A7

City eyes YMCA recreation facility $60,000 feasibility study approved for possible 2016 project Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

The YMCA could have a permanent facility in Abbotsford by 2016, if a feasibility study indicates it would be a viable project. As part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the YMCA, the city has agreed to pay $30,000, half the cost of the study. If approved, the new building could cost in the neighborhood of $30 million, with the city responsible for half the cost. That figure could change, depending on the results of the study and what amenities the city and YMCA agree upon. “It’s a great opportunity to

get an additional recreational facility at 50 cents to the dollar,” said Coun. Lynne Harris. “The emphasis they (YMCA) place on children and youth is equally important,” she added. Community input will be sought in planning and operating the facility. Programs offered may include childcare, immigrant services and employment training as well as recreational services including a swimming pool and possibly a gymnasium. While council endorsed the

study and the MOU, there were some concerns raised that YMCA programs could conflict with city initiatives and private enterprise. The YMCA is a charitable association. It partners with communities to provide facilities and programs, including child care and employment services. In 2002, the Surrey YMCA opened, with the city providing $5.5 million (including the land). A community fundraising campaign raised $6.8 million towards the project.

CURLING CHAMPIONSHIPS The 2012 Canadian Seniors Curling Championships are coming to Abbotsford. The event will be held March 11-26 at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre. The curling club will pay the city $15,000 to use the facility, however, it is estimated that $46,000 in revenue would have been collected if the ARC was running its usual programs in that time period. An additional $20,000 will be spent to remove, store and then replace the glass and boards around the ice rink to convert it for curling. Tourism Abbotsford estimates the direct positive economic impact of hosting the championship to be approximately $300,000.

CRASH CORRECTION A story in the Tuesday, Oct. 19 edition of The News contained incorrect details about a car crash that killed Fraser Valley Toy Run founder Lenore Hopkins. The accident on Oct. 16 on Lougheed Highway in Mission was a three-car collision. Hopkins was a passenger in an eastbound car which was making a left turn when it was rear-ended by a pickup, sending the vehicle into the westbound lanes, where it was struck by a third car. An occupant in the third car also died. RCMP have not released his name.

Affordable housing strategy Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

The need for more affordable housing in Abbotsford continues to grow. First identified as a priority in the city’s Official Community Plan (OCP) in 2005, affordable housing has increasingly become an issue of concern for municipalities across the province. According to a staff report, 30 per cent of all Abbotsford households (12,840) spend more than 30 per cent of income on housing. And 12 per cent (5,300) of homes are in need of major repairs. The report goes on to indicate that as homes get older and population increases, 123 affordable units would be needed each year, just to keep pace. The focus of the strategy is to encourage partnerships for developing affordable housing, pursue funding opportunities from senior levels of government, and explore policy options related to quality of live and the ability to pay for housing. Abbotsford Mayor George Peary said the Abbotsford Community Foundation has made

homelessness and affordable housing the focus of its fundraising campaign. “We have a lot of people in this community giving generously to these kinds of initiatives,” said Peary. Staff are hoping to complete a first draft of the Affordable Housing Strategy by winter 2011.

Flu season stops here.

HOUSING AWARD:

The city’s first foray into affordable housing, the Harmony Flex Housing development on McKenzie Road, is going to receive a national award. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is presenting the city with the award for Innovative Approaches to Low Income Housing. The city donated the land for the Harmony development, allowing units to be sold at a lower cost. The 11 townhouses have suites that can be rented to generate revenue, and the accommodation must be rented to seniors and/or people with disabilities, providing affordable housing for both owner and tenant.

Comment on any story online at abbynews.com or email newsroom@abbynews.com Published and printed by Black Press Limited 34375 Gladys Avenue, Abbotsford.

Time to spend or save? Would a YMCA facility be feasible in Abbotsford? That’s the focus of an upcoming $60,000 study, of which city hall will pay half. However, there are much larger questions to be asked, since if such a facility is built, council has also indicated a willingness to share half of what could be a $30-million price tag. There is little doubt that Abbotsford could use more indoor recreational facilities, and the YMCA has a fine reputation of providing and running such operations, albeit sometimes in competition with private enterprise. But can this city afford such a $15-million investment? As one councillor has pointed out, it means gaining new recrecational facilities at half of what they would cost if the city goes it alone. All fine and well, except Abbotsford taxpayers have been shouldering some major financial commitments recently, and even bigger ones are looming.

The city is presently paying off an $80-million loan for the Plan A projects, one of which is a huge arena into which the city continues to shovel money – including a $2-million operating deficit in the first year, along with hundreds of thousands in annual payment to the resident hockey team. Abbotsford and Mission must invest $200 million for a new water system in the next 10 to 15 years. And there’s another huge project looming in a similar time frame. The two communities will be shelling out $250 million to upgrade the joint sewage treatment plant. Future development cost charges and utility fees will feed a good portion of those commitments, but capital reserves will also be needed. Under those circumstances, is signing on to a YMCA project for $15 million in the next five years a good idea? At this point, a few years of serious saving seems prudent.

A soft target for system abusers Tom

B.C. Views Driving along a major suburban thoroughfare on a recent sunny afternoon, I couldn’t help but notice a woman casually relieving herself on the grass between the sidewalk and the street. The highly visible location seemed deliberately chosen, perhaps as a street person’s farewell to another golden summer in B.C.’s most peed-upon city. This sort of ﬂagrant offence against decency would still have shock value in most B.C. communities, but here in Victoria the likeliest reaction would be, “Hey, you’re on the wrong street.” The Pandora Avenue squat, as it came to be known, was this summer’s politically correct theatre of the absurd, and as usual it was not rated for family viewing. A ﬁlthy little tent city sprang up on a broad downtown boulevard across from one of the local homeless handout services, migrating in from

local parks. Public peeing was among the milder problems on Pandora. This was well illustrated by its sudden end in September. Victoria News reported that a core group of drug dealers were picked up in an undercover police buy-andbust operation at the Pandora squat. Overnight the tent city vanished. A combination of cooler weather and the closure of the crack-and-meth bazaar seems to have done the trick, as campers suddenly came to appreciate the vacant shelter beds up the street. B.C.’s urban southwest offers a glimpse of the future for other communities around the province in the abandonment of community standards. And nobody surrenders quite like Victoria. This is a town that wilts like lettuce before an invasion of feral bunny rabbits. It’s a town that celebrates an urban design award for its downtown urinal, an expensive but oh-so-artistic response to the monsoon of doorway peeing that pours down after the bars close. The city’s response to a court ruling limiting its ban on camping in parks was timid even by Victoria standards.

Hounded by the “homeless” and their “advocates” at every step, city council ﬁnally passed a bylaw declaring campsites on boulevards to be banned as a trafﬁc hazard. By the time they got it done, the summer squat had folded. Along the way it was revealed that at least some of the campers weren’t homeless, having had

This is a town that wilts like lettuce before an invasion of feral bunny rabbits. “social” housing provided to them, and that shelter beds had also been sitting empty. The shelter beds are signiﬁcant from a legal as well as a common-sense point of view. The court ruling had said the city couldn’t prevent people from putting up tents, but only if there were no shelter beds available. But apparently

verifying homelessness would have been too harsh. A few weeks ago on a ferry crossing, I overheard a couple of fragrant young fellows, fresh from few weeks picking fruit in the Okanagan and looking for a comfortable place to ride out the winter. Victoria here they come. This has been going on for generations, and it apparently remains a path of choice for winter refugees all the way from Quebec. Housing and Social Development Minister Rich Coleman was on CKNW radio program the other day, talking up B.C.’s efforts to get people off the street. He did allow that the southwestern corner of the province does have a couple of different factors to consider. “The big one is probably weather, so we do get some in-migration at times of the year because the weather is different in other areas of Canada,” Coleman said, demonstrating his mastery of understatement. Warm weather and weak local government are a bad combination. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tﬂetcher@blackpress.ca

In September, the city had a gross revenue of $10,300 for parking in the area. The parking is monitored by Impark, which will issue $15 tickets for illegal parking, be in charge of collecting the funds and give the city 50 per cent of all fines collected. Vehicles will be towed on the fourth violation. “For weekend events, we’re in pretty good shape – great shape – for parking now,” said Abbotsford Mayor George Peary.

A hunt for drug traffickers by Surrey Mounties has led to arrests in Abbotsford and Vancouver. Four people were arrested at two locations on Oct. 13. In Abbotsford, members of the Surrey RCMP Drug Section seized nine ounces of cocaine and $10,000 in cash from a 36-year-old Vancouver man

and a 22-year-old Abbotsford man. At a Vancouver location, Surrey officers seized five kilograms of cocaine and $145,00 in cash from two men, both from Surrey, one 26 years old, the other 43. The street value of the drugs was estimated to be approximately $400,000.

Cancer group seeks sponsor The Women with Cancer support group in Abbotsford is seeking sponsorship to assist with costs such as speakers, books, DVDs and advertising. The group was notified in January that the Canadian Cancer Society was phasing out its peer support group programs due to financial constraints. It now requires about $1,500 a year to operate. It is open to women who have undergone or are going through cancer treatment. Facilitator Edith Goodfellow said it provides a place to share

experiences and information, listen to speakers, and provide emotional support. “This peer support group provides all members with the certainty they will be heard, completely understood with compassion and provides a forum for freedom of expression,” she said. Women with Cancer meets the third Thursday of every month at the Real Canadian Superstore’s community room, 2855 Gladwin Rd., starting at 7 p.m. For more information or to inquire about sponsorship, call Edith at 604-504-0630.

he entrepreneurial spirit makes the Canadian economy go. Our economy is driven by small and medium-sized businesses which total 97.5 per cent of all Canadian companies and employ the majority of workers

across the country. In recognition of the contributions and achievements of the country’s entrepreneurs, the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) has been organizing Small Business Week in the third week of October for over 30 years. Events held

during the week bring entrepreneurs together at conferences, luncheons and trade fairs where they have the opportunity to learn, network and exchange information and ideas with their peers. Last year, hundreds of activities across Canada attracted more than 10,000 businesspeople.

Small Business Week has become a must-attend event for Canadian entrepreneurs. Its origins date back to 1979 when BDC branches in British Columbia’s Lower Fraser Valley pooled their resources to organize small business management sessions during one week which they labelled “Small Business Week.” BDC branches in British Columbia repeated this successful experiment the following year, tripling the number of sessions presented to local businesses. In 1981, Small Business Week was officially launched nationwide by BDC. In 1988, the Young Entrepreneur Awards (YEA) were created to highlight the success of young Canadian entrepreneurs and recognize their innovative spirit and business acumen. The YEA nomination campaign will be launched during Small Business Week and will run until Nov. 30, 2010. More details on the YEA can be found at www. bdc.ca/yea The SBW 2010 theme is Power Up Your Business. Invest. Innovate. Grow. As the economy recovers, the time is ripe for entrepreneurs to gear up to seize new opportunities. They need to hone their competitive edge with dynamic plans and a renewed commitment to meeting the needs of a rapidly changing marketplace. The theme reflects the opportunities and challenges facing entrepreneurs as the economy builds steam. It’s a chance for a fresh start with bright ideas, charged-up operations, and a re-energized team eager to break into new markets here and abroad.

Abbotsford News

There’s still more than a week to go before the home opener for University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team, but Tessa Klassen is already feeling the pressure. In a delicious scheduling quirk, the Manitoba Bisons travel to UFV for back-toback games (Oct. 29-30) to open the Canada West regular season. The deliciousness – and the pressure – stems from the fact that the Bisons’ roster features Kayla Klassen, Tessa’s fraternal twin sister. After a lifetime of shared experiences – dating back to the womb – they’ll be opponents for the first time on the Envision Athletic Centre hardwood. “It’s going to be a lot of fun, but it’s also going to be a lot of pressure,” Tessa predicted with a chuckle during a break from practice on Tuesday. “It’s definitely going to be different. My whole life, I’ve played on the same team as my sister. “And both my parents are flying out for the games, so the added pressure keeps coming.” The Klassen twins, born and raised in Winnipeg, formed a successful basketball partnership. They played on provincial ageclass teams together, and their Fort Richmond Collegiate high school squad made three consecutive trips to the Manitoba 4A final four. Then it was on to the University of Manitoba for three seasons. In 2009, Tessa’s boyfriend, a corrections officer, accepted a job in Abbotsford. Spur of the moment, Tessa decided to follow him to the Fraser Valley. She attended classes at UFV last year and practiced with the Cascades as a redshirt. Tessa was “torn” as she contemplated leaving the Bisons program, and Kayla, behind. But part of the lure of leaving was the opportunity to strike off on her own. “I’ve always had a life where I’ve been compared to my sister,” she explained. “Everything’s a competition when it comes to us, be it a board game, or basketball, or grades in school. We’re not always saying it, but it’s Continued on A22

Big win for ruggers Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Rugby Football Club scored a milestone victory on Saturday, at its elite menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club knocked off Capilano 50-22 at Exhibition Park. It marked the first time in the history of the Abbotsford club that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d defeated Capilano at the elite level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could see smiles everywhere,â&#x20AC;? Abby head coach Jason Young said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a huge deal.â&#x20AC;? Konrad Rybkowski had a monster game for Abbotsford, scoring three tries. Shea Bourquin (2), Aaron Flagg, Sam Evans and Lawrence Davies also found the end zone, while Chris

Gilding booted five converts. The victory is a nice building block for the ARFC elite men, who have moved up from the Coulter League to the elite Spray League this fall. The goal is to earn promotion to the CDI Premiership, the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top spring circuit. The ARFC sent menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams to the Premiership in 2006 and 2007, but struggled mightily. Not to be deterred, the club is intent on developing the infrastructure to contend in the top league on an annual basis. The ARFC men are coming off the most successful season in club history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Div. 1 and Div. 2 squads both won provincial titles last spring, and com-

bined for a spotless 46-0 record. The player base is clearly developing, and Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory is a positive sign, but Young feels the club still has a ways to go. Young said that in years past, some ARFC players got by on pure athleticism. That might work in Div. 1, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut it in the Premiership. The core skills and fitness must be upgraded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baby steps â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen overnight,â&#x20AC;? Young said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big process to build the culture here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a really good state. With the youth programs coming on, depth wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an issue in the future.â&#x20AC;?

always in the back of your mind – I’ve got to work harder, I’ve got to get better. “I don’t know if it’s a twin thing – maybe it’s just a sibling thing,” she added.

“Moving away is kind of a way to branch out and meet new people – cut the cord a little bit, I guess you could say.” Tessa Klassen, a 5’8” point guard, figures to make an im-

mediate impact with the Cascades. In 200809, her final season at Manitoba, she finished among Canada West’s top 10 in seven statistical categories, including fifth in scoring average (13.5),

fifth in assists per game (5.7) and third in three-point percentage (.402). Klassen is the fourth elite transfer that UFV head coach Al Tuchscherer has landed in recent

years, following Suzie Harriman (formerly of the Saskatchewan Huskies), Samantha Hill (TWU Spartans) and Jane Meadwell (Calgary Dinos). The difference with the previous trio is, they were local products making a homecoming, whereas Klassen arrived at UFV out of the blue. Not that Tuchscherer’s complaining. “There was definitely a little bit of luck involved,” he noted with a smile. “Obviously we were pretty surprised. We’d played against her, and she actually had a triple double

against us. It was pretty exciting to hear she wanted to come our way.” The Cascades are coming off a difficult 2-16 season, but Klassen is one of a trio of key additions who offer hope for the future. Alexa McCarthy, UFV’s third-leading scorer in 2008-09, is healthy after shoulder surgery sidelined her for all of last season. Sarah Wierks, a rookie centre out of Chilliwack Secondary, has demonstrated in the preseason that she’ll be an impact player. Klassen has also proven her worth

during exhibition play, most notably racking up 26 points and 13 rebounds against Texas Christian University in August. “Those three additions are going to be really, really big for us this year,” Tuchscherer predicted. “And everyone else has been superdedicated to making themselves better basketball players in the off-season. You’re going to see an overall group that’s bigger, faster, stronger and more skilled. I think there’s reason to be optimistic about what’s happening this year.”

Watt suspended for head shot From A21

Heat winger J.D. Watt a two-game suspension. Early in the third period of last Friday’s game against the Rockford IceHogs, Watt drilled Kyle Hagel into the boards in the Rockford zone, sparking a melee. Watt was not assessed a penalty for the hit itself, but the AHL rule book allows for supplementary discipline at the commissioner’s discretion. According to a league spokesper-

son, Watt’s check wasn’t from behind, but it was deemed to be a hit where the principal point of contact was the opposing player’s head. Q After returning from seasonending knee surgery, Heat defenceman John Negrin has suffered another setback. On Tuesday, Negrin underwent his second knee surgery of 2010 in Rochester, Minn. He’s expected to be sidelined for three months. “It was an extension of last year’s knee injury,” Sutter explained.

The City of Abbotsford (Proponent) is proposing to modify the Bevan Avenue Wells (proposed Project). The proposed Project would upgrade the pumping capacity of four Bevan Avenue Groundwater wells to increase the extraction rate to a maximum of 290 litres per second. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent has now submitted its application (Application) to obtain an environmental assessment certificate which is required before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project.

A second presentation will also be given by the Proponent in relation to the proposed Project. If you are unable to attend the Open House, you may still wish to make a written submission. There are 30 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the Application. The comment period will begin on October 27, 2010 and end on November 26, 2010. All comments received during this comment period will be considered. NOTE:

Walk in my shoes Page 4 JOHN VAN PUTTEN Abbotsford News

A state of optimism Resources help Jabbie’s quest for work Mohamed Jabbie is refining his resume for the umpteenth time – a lesson learned from the many career seminars he has attended. He does it because he applies to several jobs each week. Along with helping him make changes to his resume, employees at local resource centres have helped Jabbie with writing cover letters, interviewing skills and seeking potential jobs. For the past year, he has been unemployed and looking for work in Abbotsford, and he isn’t letting previous difficulties hinder his pursuit for profit. Jabbie, 27, grew up in Sierra Leone, a country in western Africa where

Most companies want individuals

to have a diploma, certificate or a degree – which Jabbie does not have – so finding a job in this economy can be a challenge, he said. “It’s like climbing Mount Everest.” He visits local resource facilities, such as Career Assistance and Resources for Employment (CARE) on a weekly basis, where there are mentors to give one-on-one advice, resource books, and access to the web. Although Jabbie looks like a student in casual jeans, a beige shirt and carrying a notebook, he can’t afford schooling. But once he has money flowing in, Jabbie will apply to an institution and hopefully pursue his dream job – to teach people about developing countries.

myTop WHAT’S

This list of the top things to do in Abbotsford was chosen by Dan Kinvig from The News. To promote your event, go to facebook.com/ myabbynews, and we may publish it here.

[1]

The Abbotsford Heat are embarking on their second season of fastpaced AHL hockey action. Manitoba Moose games are always a hot ticket – the Vancouver Canucks’ farm team comes to town Nov. 26 and 27.

[2]

A trip to the Apple Barn, located at 333 Gladwin Road, is one of the rites of fall in Abbotsford. Try the apple cider.

[3]

Basketball season tips off in earnest on Oct. 29-30, when the University of the Fraser Valley men’s and women’s hoops squads host their CIS regular season home openers against the Manitoba Bisons at the Envision Athletic Centre.

[4] [5]

My favourite place to go for a hike is Cascades Falls Regional Park, located on Ridgeview Road northeast of Mission. From the parking lot, it’s a 15-minute walk to a viewing platform that overlooks a spectacular 30-metre waterfall. Mill Lake, located in the heart of Abbotsford, is a great place to spend an active afternoon. Take the two-kilometre walk around the lake, or take the kids to the playground at Centennial Park.

4 B WALK IN MY SHOES

>> Thursday, October 21, 2010

Saving wildlife Elizabeth’s centre offers a second chance to injured animals An opossum sleeps under a towel rack on the right, while three birds – rarely found in these parts – make odd sounds in their individual kennels on the left. Ahead, an incubator warms a handful of day-old, wild bunnies. Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center, run by Elizabeth Melnick, is home to a variety of animals, the species changing with the seasons. The non-profit organization takes hundreds of injured and orphaned wild birds – except birds of prey – and small mammals. Melnick has spent the past quarter-century taking care of animals that are dropped off by people who have found them injured, sick or displaced. The center, located on an acre of land beside Downes Bowl, is only feet from her house, and is the only facility of its kind from Hope to Langley. Each animal taken in is assessed, treated, rehabilitated, and if fully recovered, released to its natural environment at the right time of year for easy reintegration. “It’s very time-involved here,” says Melnick. She works up to 20 hours a day in the spring and summer, answering approximately 70 to 80 calls from people with inquiries. In winter, the workload is a little lighter, but not by much. Regardless of the season, her day involves administering intravenous fluids and antibiotics, tube feeding, dressing wounds and changing bandages, and visiting the local veterinarian’s office for X-rays. Thinking about an animal all night, working with it through its sickness or injuries, and seeing that it’s alive is what keeps her going. Helping to save a tiny life is the best part of her job, says Melnick.“That just does something to you.”

It seems like, with just a snap of the fingers, fall weather has taken a firm hold. Cooler days and frigid nights have set in, signifying a definitive end to the lazy days of summer. But it doesn’t mean shutting yourself away until the spring thaw. The Fraser Valley is the perfect place to go exploring and take in fall’s beauty and the changing hues of the landscape.

Why not do it in style? Layer up in cozy wools and down-filled vests that are more lightweight than ever before but still trap the heat. Add a scarf here and a toque there, and you’re set to go. For a classier, night-on-the-town look, try a faux-fur animal-print jacket belted at the waist. Pair it with classic black trousers, and you’ll be toasty and tasteful at the same time.

Wear what you dare no matter the season Learn how to care for dry skin Have you ever found yourself looking at your closet, full of sweaters and jeans, dresses and blouses, and getting overwhelmed by the feeling of having nothing to wear? This far-too-familiar situation can be even more daunting for women who refrain from wearing certain styles and fabrics due to their dry skin. A recent survey of more than 1,000 Canadian women aged 18 to 55 with dry or very dry skin (47 per cent of Canadian women fall within this group) showed that dry skin can

interfere with the process of getting dressed. Half of women surveyed said they wear clothing to deliberately cover up dry skin at least some of the time, including wearing sweaters and pants, and more than a third of the women surveyed said dry skin has made wearing “skin baring” clothing less enjoyable. It is recommended that women in this situation avoid showering in water that’s too hot and to moisturize with a non-greasy, extra-strength lotion.

my B8 Don’t know your skin type? It’s easy to test it at home >> Thursday, October 21, 2010

Be prepared to give yourself plenty of time The phrase “skin type” is used on a regular basis in the world of beauty. Knowing it helps you determine the skin care products you should be using and can also factor into the type of makeup products you use. If skin type is something you have never determined for yourself or don’t know how to determine, I’ve got a few easy guidelines for you. Prepare to give yourself a skin type test on a day where you are not in a hurry to go anywhere. Wash your face as usual and pat it dry. Don’t apply moisturizer yet. Leave your skin bare for approximately one hour and after that time, you will be able to notice any tightness to the skin. Take a tissue and press it separately to the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin areas of your face. If your skin feels tight and itchy all over after this “breathing” time, chances are you fall into a dry skin category. Having dry skin may also mean that you have noticeable flaking on some or all parts of your face. Moisturizers designed for dry skin don’t have to

Chrissy

Lambert Beyond Beauty feel heavy or greasy on the face. You can get moisturizers in cream or gel textures, depending on what you prefer. Ensure that you have applied enough moisturizer so that your skin feels somewhat tacky, but not greasy. And dry skin sufferers, be sure that you don’t skip your nightly application of moisturizer. This time period of rest and rejuvenation is crucial to your skin’s well being. If the tissue you previously pressed onto your skin came off visibly oily in all areas of your face, you most likely fall into the oily skin category. One of the biggest misconceptions about having oily skin is that you shouldn’t or don’t need to wear moisturizer. That is absolutely not the

case and, sometimes, oily skin can be the result of your body’s attempt at providing moisture to dry skin that has occurred from frequent washing and scrubbing, combined with not enough moisture being replaced. Using specific products, such as an oil-free or water-based moisturizer and weekly cleansing masks should help to get your skin back on track. If you feel that you can’t get the problem under control on your own, consider consulting a clinical expert. Those of you who find that a few areas of your face are dry and flaky and at the same time, other areas are oily, fall into the combination skin category. This is often a difficult skin type to manage, as you may need to use different cleansing or moisturizing products for each area of your face. After cleansing your face, you can use a toner on the oily areas of your skin. If you would like to use a mask during the week, you should consider a deep cleansing mask for the oily parts and a moisturizing mask for the dry parts.

If your skin is neither flaky and dry nor oily, you can consider yourself a lucky person who has normal skin. Your occasional blemishes are usually hormonal or stress-related, so only make rare appearances. This skin type requires all the elements of maintenance that the other types do, but requires age-appropriate products. A normal skin type for a 25-year-old will not be the same as what a 55-year-old requires, even if you both have the same normal skin type. Keep in mind that no matter your age, sun protection is a must. The skin you’re in is in it for the long haul, so treat it right, be gentle and be aware of its changing needs. If you take the time now to prevent damage and sustain your healthy skin, you are far less likely to need a skin-tervention in the future.

Some tips now for holiday glamour to come It’s not too early to plan hair and makeup It’s not too early to start planning for holiday glam. Many women want to look dazzling during the holidays, but can be intimidated by the latest trends. For holiday time, it’s all about bold beauty and big volume. This year’s “it” holiday hairdo is a twist on classic volume. Follow these six steps to get a 1960s-inspired teased crown look. Step 1 Wash and condition hair with a high-volume shampoo and conditioner that help prepare the hair for maximum lift and bounce.

Step 2 Apply a root lifter to the roots of wet hair. This sets the stage for lasting volume by creating a “hooking” effect between fine hair fibres. Step 3 Blow-dry hair using a large round brush to achieve volume by rolling hair in towards the head. Flip hair upside-down to help lift the roots and give a quick blast of cool air before flipping over to help set the style. Step 4 When hair is dry, in two-inch

sections, wrap hair in large Velcro rollers for added body.

nude lips. To get the look, follow these five steps:

Step 5 Remove rollers and gently tease hair at the crown to create extra height.

Step 1 Rim your eyes with a black eyeliner. Use liquid or pencil – the choice is yours. Clean up any smudges with a cotton swab.

Step 6 Place a thick black headband at front and push back so it sits on the hairline to emphasize volume at the crown.

Step 2 Cover the entire eye with a smoky grey or silver shade. Make sure you blend well, so that no harsh lines can be seen. It’s also best to layer a bit of colour at a time until you get the coverage you desire.

Now, it’s time for your makeup. Taking inspiration from tribal warriors and other powerful women, the smoldering eye look simmers with dark metallic shades and glossy

Step 3 Complete the eye with black mascara, coating the top and bottom lashes with a lash-thickening and lengthening product. Today’s options leave lashes looking fuller, longer and more dramatic. Step 4 For the lips, dab some concealer around your mouth to pale them out, and then add a lip colour in nude. Step 5 Finish the lips with a coat of gloss in a clear glimmery shimmer to add that extra-special holiday touch.
