THINK outside the gift box.... Did you know that throughout the months of November and December the average household in Abbotsford will produce 25 per cent more waste? In Canada, the annual waste generated from gift wrapping and shopping bags equals about 545,000 tonnes each year! This season, have a green holiday. Reduce the amount of waste you produce with these tips, and you can save a little money too! Conserve Energy and Recycle Old Incandescent Lights Switch to LED holiday lights for indoor and outdoor use - LED lights last 10 times longer and use up to 95% less electricity. Recycle your old incandescent light strands at Abbotsford Mission Recycling Depot (33670 Valley Rd). One thing to remember is that only the wire strands are accepted for recycling, not the glass bulbs, which must be removed before dropping off.
Deck the Halls with Green Decorations Decorate with nature. Use excess Christmas tree trim for your mantles, centerpieces, and tables. Pine cones, twigs, and leaves can also be used as is or with a little extra something (i.e. ribbon) to make your holiday decorations extra special. Compost them after the holidays too!
Send holiday wishes in a green way Instead of sending a traditional paper card, send an e-card. There are numerous sites online that you can send FREE e-cards to friends and family.
It’s a Wrap with Green Options Use re-useable gift bags, tins or newspaper as an alternative to gift wrap. Make the wrapping part of the gift by using scarves or buckets, tins and containers.

Holiday Fire Safety
Abbotsford City Hall Holiday Hours
The holiday season should be a happy time, a chance to celebrate with family and friends. The Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service offers the following safety tips to keep your holiday safe:
Abbotsford city hall will be closed for business from Monday, December 27th through to Friday, December 31st. City hall will re-open on Monday, January 3rd. Regular business hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Enjoy a safe and healthy holiday season.
Use Candles with Care • Take care when using candles. Place them on a noncombustible base and keep them away from other Àammable decorations. Place them where they will not be knocked over or can be reached by children. Never leave lit candles unattended. Also, matches and lighters are tools not toys! Store them up high where children can’t reach them. Safety in the Kitchen • Practice safety in the kitchen during the festive season. Don’t leave cooking food unattended — oil or fat can ignite. If you are faced with a grease ¿re, remember, put a lid on it and turn the heat source off! Always turn pot handles to the back of the stove when cooking, to avoid pots being pulled or knocked over. The Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service wishes you and your family a Fire Safe Holiday Season. For more ¿re safety information visit www.abbotsford.ca/¿re
Winter Has Arrived Please keep sidewalks, boulevards and footpaths next to your property clear of snow or ice, so others may safely use them. Under the City’s Good Neighbour Bylaw every owner or occupier of property shall remove snow and ice by 12:00 noon, the day after it accumulates. Failing to comply with the City’s bylaw may result in a ¿ne of $150.00. The City’s bylaws may be viewed on-line at www.abbotsford.ca or, if you have any questions, call us at 604-864-5512.
Snow & Ice Control The goal of the City’s Snow and Ice Control Program is to maintain travel routes where there is snow and ice on roads and restore mobility for the traveling public. Our roads are classi¿ed: • ¿rst priority (high volume and strategic arterial and collector roads, and major access roads to hillside areas); • second priority (remaining arterial, hillside areas and collector routes); and • third priority (remaining roadways not identi¿ed as ¿rst and second priority). First priority roads are maintained until conditions are under control subject to worker/equipment availability and weather. Only then are resources redirected to second priority routes and subsequently third priority routes. The City of Abbotsford, which takes a pro-active approach to snow and ice control, operates three anti-icing units (tanks containing sodium chloride solution) on four-lane roads and rural priority roads. The units are used to spray road surfaces before and during a storm. Anti-icing helps keep roads ice free and improves snow removal. Several pre-wetting units, which inject liquid sodium chloride into the salt/sand mixture before it is applied to roads, are also used by the City. These units increase the melting of snow and ice and reduce the loss of salt/sand caused by traf¿c. The City does not remove snow and ice to bare pavement conditions. The public is encouraged to use caution, and wherever possible, park vehicles off the streets. Abandoned vehicles or vehicles obstructing roadways will be towed without notice to allow for snow clearing operations to continue and towing costs will be the responsibility of the vehicle owners. We ask that you do not plow snow from private properties onto the public roadways as this can result in visibility hazards and obstructions and will require additional time for clearing roadways. The City will work 24 hour days until the snow ends and ¿rst priority routes are passable for travel. For more information, please contact the Engineering Operations Division at 604-853- 5485.

The Salvation Army in Abbotsford has set a Christmas fundraising goal that is $25,000 higher than last year, but that will only maintain existing services. Deb Lowell, Salvation Army public relations director for Abbotsford and Mission, said the $475,000 goal does not allow for much room to expand on or add programs. She said LOWELL the increase covers mostly the rising cost of food and a hike in clients that has led to more meals being served. Last year, the Sally Ann prepared about 65,000 breakfasts and lunches locally. This year, the number is closer to 68,000. Lowell said the tough economic times have had repercussions for the approximate 4,000 clients that are served each month. “What we’re seeing this year is people are using our meal services as a supplement to their income .... to help them get through the week.”
JOHN VAN PUTTEN
Abbotsford News
Funds raised through donations to the Salvation Army’s kettles help fund the preparation of 65,000 breakfasts and lunches. The funds raised at this time of the year help the Salvation Army operate year-round. The organization serves mainly individuals and couples without children, while the Abbotsford Community Services’ Food Bank and Christmas Bureau focuses on families. Much of the Sally Ann’s funds are collected through its Red Kettle campaign. This year, the kettles are set up at 13 locations in Abbotsford and Mission, but Lowell said more volunteers are needed to fill the 3,600 hours in shifts that are available. “We still have a long way to go for that chart to be full ... Every shift we
miss is potential program dollars,” Lowell said. It’s not only individuals who can volunteer. Northview Community Church, as an example, has “adopted” a kettle at PriceSmart Foods on South Fraser Way. This means they are responsible for rounding up the volunteers and organizing their shifts. Lowell said other groups are welcome to do this and help take pressure off the Salvation Army at this busy time of year.

Abbotsford has the second highest vacancy rate in Canada for apartment rentals. According to the Rental Market Survey released Thursday by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the city is at 6.5 per cent, compared to the national average of 2.6 per cent. Abbotsford’s rate has gone up from 2009, when it was 6.1 per cent, while the national average has gone down from 2.8 per cent last year. Windsor, Ont. was tops on the list of 35 cities with a vacancy rate of 10.9 per cent, and the city with the lowest rate was Winnipeg at 0.8 per cent. The survey measured vacancy rates in October of this year, compared to the same period in 2009.

The study also examined the average monthly rent of a two-bedroom apartment. In Abbotsford, the figure was $785 this year, up $4 from the average rent in 2009. This puts Abbotsford at the 14th lowest rent in the country, compared to the 35 cities included on the survey. The lowest was $533 in Trois Rivieres, Que. The national average for 2010 was $860. Deanna Horn, president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, said there is a simple explanation for the high apartment vacancy rates. “Abbotsford is affordable. . .

Splinter gang nabbed New group moving into drug trade say police Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Police say the arrests of four men this week in Abbotsford have disrupted the operations of a new gang that has broken away from the Duhre Group. Const. Ian MacDonald said the new group has been operating for about eight weeks, trying to take over LOPEKE drug supply lines established by the Duhre organization. He said the splinter group, which does not have a name, currently consists of “no more than 10” people, with other potential members waiting on the sidelines. The Duhre Group has been publicly identified by Police Chief Bob Rich as being the prevalent gang currently operating in Abbotsford. “For the most part, they’ve controlled the drug lines. In the last several weeks, we’ve learned that the Duhre (Group’s) hold wasn’t as solid as they may have wanted,” MacDonald said. He said it’s not yet clear

Aaron Somerville is shown in the back of a police cruiser after being arrested Wednesday following a traffic stop on George Ferguson Way near Bourquin Crescent. whether the break-away group has been operating independently or has “received encouragement” from other organizations. A violent home invasion on Nov. 5 in the 33200 block of Robertson Avenue has been linked to the splinter gang. MacDonald said the incident involved two men with guns breaking into a house they believed contained thousands of dollars in cash. MacDonald said five or six people were in the home at the time, and they were confined and assaulted. One escaped, leading to
police being called to the scene. Some of the victims received medical treatment, but no one had an extended hospital stay, MacDonald said. Two men have been charged with six offences in connection to that incident. Michael Lopeke, 22, and Jared Klade, 23, were each charged with two counts of robbery with a firearm, break and enter, unlawful confinement, assault with a weapon, and assault causing bodily harm. Klade was denied bail and next appears in Abbotsford provincial court for an
NewsBytes
arraignment hearing on Jan. 6. His only previous charge was for an assault on Jan. 1 of this year for which he was convicted. He was sentenced to one day in jail and 18 months’ probation, according to provincial court records. Lopeke, who has no previous criminal record, was released yesterday on $5,000 bail. His next court appearance is on Thursday. He intends to enter a guilty plea on all his charges, according to court records. Some alleged members of the splinter group were also investigated from late October to early December for drug activity. Charged with one count of trafficking in cocaine is Aaron Somerville, 24, while his brother Matthew Somerville, 25, has been charged with four counts. Aaron, who has no previous criminal record, has been denied bail. His next court appearance is on Monday. Matthew, who also has no prior record, appears for a bail hearing on Monday in Abbotsford provincial court. MacDonald said the gang suppression unit (GSU), formed in April, has not only made arrests but has been successful in “numerous disruptions” of criminal pursuits. Police don’t always have enough evidence to lay charges, but they have significantly curbed violent incidents and drug-related activity, he said. “I have to commend what the GSU is doing ... Their mandate is public safety.”
Not guilty of child porn charges An Abbotsford man was found not guilty Wednesday in New Westminster Supreme Court of making child pornography available to others. Christopher Robert Lamb, 27, was acquitted of using the LimeWire file-sharing program to make child porn videos and writings available for others to download. Lamb previously pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography, while Crown counsel stayed charges of possession for the purpose of distribution. Lamb is scheduled for sentencing on March 8 on the child-porn possession charge.
He was one of 50 people arrested in March 2009 as part of Project Salvo, the nation’s largest co-ordinated investigation into child pornography. Meanwhile, two similar cases involving Abbotsford men are still making their way through the courts. The trial has concluded for Martin Gregory Smith, 50, and the judge’s decision will be rendered Feb. 10 in Chilliwack Supreme Court. Smith is charged with possession of child pornography, accessing child porn, and two counts of importing or distributing child
porn. He was arrested by Abbotsford Police in 2008. Jeffery Michael Armstrong, 35, faces sentencing on Feb. 22 in Abbotsford provincial court after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography. He was arrested in March 2009, following reports to local police from the National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre that a computer in Abbotsford was suspected of accessing child porn. A search was then conducted of a home on Eaglecrest Drive, and three computers were seized.

TRUCKER SENTENCED An Abbotsford trucker yesterday received a 12-month conditional sentence for obstructing justice in relation to a 2007 head-on collision which claimed the life of a 55-year-old woman. Kamran Mohammad, 27, was sentenced in Prince George provincial court. He was also originally charged with dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm. On Jan. 9, 2007, Richard Johnson, 60, and Muriel Johnson, 55, of Prince George were driving north on Highway 97 when they collided with a southbound commercial transport truck. Richard suffered serious injuries, and Muriel died on the scene.
TELECOM TOWER A new telecommunication tower will be constructed at 39844 Old Yale Road. The 50-metre structure is needed for the new E-Comm radio system which Abbotsford Police will begin using in the summer of 2011. The new service will improve wireless communication for emergency responders (police, ambulance, fire services) in the city.
CYRUS CENTRE DONATION Cyrus Centre is the recipient of $11,000 on behalf of employees at the Abbotsford and Chilliwack CIBC Wood Gundy branches. The money was raised during CIBC Miracle Day, which involves employees donating their fees and commissions on the first Wednesday in December. Cyrus Centre, located in Abbotsford, provides food, shelter, laundry facilities and other services for at-risk youth. The centre served 12,000 meals last year, according to executive director Les Talvio. CIBC Miracle Day raised more than $3.5 million in Canada in 2009, for a total of over $55 million donated to hundreds of children’s charities across the nation since 1984.

In a sidebar story listing the 14 deaths, it was reported that a 48-yearold driver had been charged with impaired driving following an accident on Oct. 2 in which a longboarder was killed. In fact, no charges have yet been laid. Police are continuing their investigation.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Pedestrian deaths
Will you support a local charity this holiday season?
They need more lighting at Gladwin and Ferguson; there are very few lights for drivers to see pedestrians. And especially near the intersection. jayne190 Graduated licensing was and is just a cash grab and offers zero benefits in the way of better drivers. We need to get tougher on bad drivers and start with the training and licensing. abbyjoe
To answer, go to abbynews.com
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Do you approve of the 6.8 per cent increase in the police budget?
As a driver I’ve seen too many occasions where the pedestrian assumed he/she was seen and just stepped into the crosswalk without even a glance to see if it was safe. Do new drivers even read the rules when they get their licence? rhiebert
YOU RESPONDED:
Not only are people being hit but drivers are failing to do what they are required to do by law, stay at the scene, report it, exchange info, get someone to get hold of a parent if the victim is a minor. mrsSandford

Carole James becomes history Frank
Bucholtz Guest shot Carole James is history, as far as the BC NDP is concerned. The embattled leader pulled the plug on Monday, following a tumultuous fall. It began with her abrupt decision to kick Bob Simpson out of caucus for a very mild criticism, escalated at an NDP provincial council meeting where it became clear that 13 MLAs would not support her leadership and culminated with a very public rebuke from longtime Vancouver MLA Jenny Kwan last Wednesday. By that time, James was doomed. She could kick Kwan out of caucus – and promptly see 12 other MLAs join her in a revolt that would wreck the party, at least through the next election. She could back down and try to stay
on, but that would be showing more guts than brains, or she could resign. She did so, and now it will be up to the party to rebuild and renew after an orgy of blood-letting, backstabbing and recriminations that won’t easily be forgotten. It’s important to remember a bit of history. James won the NDP leadership in 2003, over six other candidates, at a very low point in the party’s history. The party had governed for 10 years under four different premiers, but by 2001 it was toast. Premier Ujjal Dosanjh conceded the election several weeks before the vote took place, and the NDP only won two seats to 77 for the BC Liberals. Those two seats were won by Kwan and Joy MacPhail, who took on the party leadership and management at its weakest point in history. They did a good job, but when James took over as leader, the party was still in tough shape. She rebuilt its traditional base and the party jumped to 33 seats in 2005, largely because many people wanted to vote against the Gordon Campbell
Liberals. In 2009, the party ran a somewhat chaotic campaign that focused more on what it opposed than what it stood for – typical of James’ leadership. It boosted its seat count marginally to 35, but this was in a House with six more seats.
While she certainly got plenty of attention, she never
seemed able to connect with many voters. James had no experience as a provincial politician when she took over the party. She had been a Victoria school trustee and president of the B.C. School Trustees Association. She didn’t even have experience in municipal politics, which can be a bearpit (and learning ground) at times. While she certainly got plenty of
attention, she never seemed able to connect with many voters. The NDP almost always gets its core vote (2001 being an exception), but she seemed unable to broaden its base. Her flashback to 1970s gender politics, by insisting that some ridings had to nominate women, and her ties to big labour, which she said she wanted to distance herself from, showed that she was little changed from many past NDP leaders. The NDP in this province is bound at the waist to organized labour, and most B.C. union members are now employed by one or another level of government. Thus the NDP enters any campaign with much of its policy sacrosanct – taxes must stay high, and the public sector work force and remuneration must increase. At a time of economic challenges, that message doesn’t play very well. Her successor has a big job on his or her hands – uniting a splintered party and coming up with policy that appeals to more than its base. Frank Bucholtz is editor of the Langley Times.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Saturday, December 11, 2010
Enforcement of cycling laws is needed I am writing to ask a simple question regarding enforcement of bylaws. I am wondering when the laws/ bylaws regarding the operation of bicycles on sidewalks will be enforced? I walk home every day, and daily I have at least one uncomfortable confrontation with cyclists using sidewalks and other pedestrian walkways. I have asked the
police and been told that yes, cyclists must use the road. This is not happening much in Abbotsford. It is already dangerous enough to walk with drivers all around who are not the slightest bit interested in my safety. Bike lanes are also a bust, as frequently the cyclists that come at me on the sidewalk have an empty bike
lane right beside them. When can I expect the appropriate agencies to begin enforcement, thus allowing me to walk freely? With a cyclist barreling down on you, we all know who will get the worst of that collision. Ken Ambrose
Unique initiative spotlighted viewpoints of youth Abbotsford is home to many successful musicians, artists, authors, sports teams, players and coaches and academic leaders. A long list of our youth fits into these categories; they are always ready to contribute and need only an outlet to become involved.
Hats off to one local institution which this weekend was the site of a project they initiated a few months ago to spotlight the concerns and viewpoints of youth, both positive and negative. The Reach Gallery Museum originated a project designed to challenge younger
citizens to involve themselves in social change. They invited participation in a series of hands-on workshops, and raised the bar by asking that the final product reflect the Reach’s mandate to preserve and showcase their research in a style which would promote
the arts. The product which emerged from Youth Art Action Heritage (YAAH) reflected themes of idealism, beauty, young love, friendship, bullying, family, and many other dimensions of youth. Their format of short cameos introduced by a curator guiding
Mission seniors neglected The rallying call, “Unity in challenging times” goes to all progressive seniors who are poised to create a “seniors’ renaissance” in Mission. Seniors must speak in one strong united voice for all to commence meaningful dialogue. I joined Mission Seniors Centre Association and served a year on the board, because I knew I could help, wanted to help and how better than from the inside. For nearly a year a topic on the monthly MSCA executive agenda was, “when will the seniors activity sign be affixed on the building?” Then one day, nearly a year to the day, there it was. This token gesture implied the building was a designated seniors’ activity centre but in fact, council decided to rename the building “Mission Community Activity Centre” and this sign merely implied seniors continued as one tenant. So, having decided to ignore the retained consultant’s recommendation to designate the complete building as a seniors’ activity centre, council arbitrarily decides to give them a bone in the form of a partially furnished lounge, some kitchen renovations, add a stove and
replace the stolen dishwasher. The MSCA board have no pro-active plans, rather it will be “to consolidate activities to demonstrate need” over the next year or so. This is totally unacceptable to many seniors. Anything less than designating the facility a seniors’ activity centre, seven days per week, at the discretion and use of a seniors’ governance committee, is perceived to perpetuate neglect. The needs of seniors are not a few hours per day, as loneliness is 24 hours. One must place the needs and concept of an activity centre in context and from the perspective of seniors. They should be able to drop by any time, seven days per week, to have a snack, watch some TV, play a few games, undertake some hobbies and crafts, attend a scheduled health clinic and other activities. They could maybe tend a small garden. But this cannot be achieved under existing, limited conditions of use. Many seniors would like to enjoy the activity centre in their lifetime. I say shame on our council for failing to recognize seniors who built Mission, by at long last, giving them the building to use as an activity centre. George F. Evens
Brush up on
audiences and actors through the museum was most revealing. Participants’ investment of time and talents was not lost on the full-house audiences at the Reach, particularly in the final discussions and interchanges between audience and players. Both groups were moved to expressing personal insights of their own generations. Abbotsford can rightly express pride and hope for all the participants who performed and bared
their souls for us. Congratulations to each of you, and to the Reach for their
sponsorship and leadership in this unique initiative. Bob Strain

Hectic year for airport

The Christmas rush will cap off what has been a busy year at the Abbotsford International Airport. Airport general manager Mike Pastro said 2010 began with a large volume of air traffic as visitors flocked to the Lower Mainland for the Winter Olympic Games. Then YXX began a $30-million expansion, funded through the federal government’s economic stimulus plan. This week the apron expansion was completed, providing the airport with more parking space for aircraft. A parallel taxiway will open early in the new year, allowing the airport to move planes through the facility more quickly, and effectively doubling the capacity of the airport. Work on the taxiway began in May. Pastro said the projects are being done on

budget and on time, and the parallel taxiway should be in use by the government’s original deadline of March 31, 2011. In addition to those major infrastructure projects, the airport has also upgraded the terminal building. Pastro said the bulk of those changes have been completed in time for the looming Christmas rush. The public will notice that the hold room for departing passengers has been expanded, providing more area for departing passengers to get through screening earlier, and wait for boarding in a comfortable area with washroom and restaurant facilities. The airport’s Christmas volume will begin almost as soon as children are out of school for the holidays. Pastro estimates the year’s final passenger statistics will likely see YXX with about the same 470,000 fliers as there were in 2009.

Firefighters light up Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life
Natasha JONES Black Press
When he was a boy not yet 10, Adam Szelecz wanted to be the prime minister of Canada. But fate stalled his hopes. Diagnosed with Duchenneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s muscular dystrophy at the age of four, he is now 21, in a wheelchair and relying on his fam-
ily and helpers for his every need. The possibilities of what might have been are endless, but for Adam and his family, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no point in self-pity. Too many good things came their way when Township of Langley firefighters entered their lives more than 10 years ago, shifting
their focus and changing Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life in a way no one could have imagined. Hall 7 (Otter) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;adoptedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Adam after firefighters Bruce Ferguson and Al Scramstad heard about the Adopt a Client program at a muscular dystrophy conference in Richmond.
When they first visited Adam at his Abbotsford home, Scramstad, Ferguson and fellow firefighter Kim Pedersen were impressed by his vibrant personality and love of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let his disability slow him down,â&#x20AC;? Scramstad said. Adam quickly
became a fixture at events in which Hall 7 took part. He was in parades, MD boot drives, picnics and family functions. But as Adam grew and his condition became more severe, it was apparent that he and his family needed help. With financial assistance from other halls

in the Township and local suppliers, Hall 7 firefighters built a wheelchair ramp and a landing, and changed several doors in the Szelecz home in Abbotsford so that Adam could use his electric wheelchair indoors. The bond between the boy and his firefighter friends blossomed. Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one desire was to outrank Scramstad, so in 2002 he was given the honourary rank of lieutenant. Two years
later he was promoted honourary fire chief, finally outranking Capt. Scramstad. It was his friends who ensured that Adam wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sidelined when he and his wheelchair soccer team were invited to take part in the Western Wheelchair Soccer tournament in 2008. Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Cheryl, asked the firefighters if they could help. A message was circulated throughout the fire department and within four days Continued on A15

$4,000 was raised, enough to send Adam, his mother and sister in a rented wheelchair-accessible van for the three-day event. Scramstad was chosen by his colleagues to be the driver. The timing of the firefighters’ entry into Adam’s life couldn’t have been more perfect. Adam’s father had left the family home, leaving Cheryl to raise Adam and his siblings, Aaron, now 19, and Leah, 17. “After his dad left, we were all pretty down in the dumps,” Cheryl said. And then the firefighters approached them, saying, “We’d like to be part of your family’s life.” It worked out so well for the family. “They showed us that there are good people out there,” she added. But a new love in her life means big changes for Cheryl and Adam. In September, she married an American serviceman who is stationed in Arizona.
the Langley firefighters. Last week, the firefighters held a farewell for Cheryl and Adam. “We said, ‘It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later,’” she said. “We have grown so attached to them.” The firefighters feel the same. “It’s been really rewarding,” Scramstad said. “It’s opened my eyes to the difficulty people with handicaps have. Every aspect of their lives, compared to ours, is such a challenge.” He observed how some disabled people need help to eat, dress and use the washroom, and witnessed the annoyance and frustration when an able-bodied driver parked in a spot marked for a disabled person.

Coin dealer Greg Finn recently acquired a unique Royal Canadian Mint quarter in his Abbotsford shop. The 2008 Olympic coin has a distinctive large indentation on the front, which he believes was created by an overlapping piece of scrap metal during production. “You never know what you’ll find,” said Finn, who owns Valley Coin and Stamp on Essendene Avenue. “The newer the era, the harder it is to come across.” High minting standards make the release of error coins a rare occurrence. Imperfections on larger coins are easier to spot and generally there are more people looking for them on special design years. Error coins are worth a lot

We’re Collecting Food For Those In Need
How to choose the Right Electrician if you have any of these 6 problems and you want them fixed today!
During the week of Dec 11-18 we will be accepting your canned goods at the food collection bins at Waterfront Station and at CTV, Abbotsford Heat Hockey Club and Black Press offices (Abbotsford, Mission, Maple Ridge and Port Coquitlam locations).
Unlike the plumbers I know, electricians rarely get emergency calls. Our equivalent of a flood in the basement is a fire in the attic . . . and you don’t call us for that. You call 911. So you’re probably not reading this because you’ve got an electrical emergency. Instead, you have an electrical problem like one of these . . .
While food donations are greatly appreciated, we should clarify that to ride the Santa Train you will need to bring a new unwrapped toy.
1. “My good friend (or husband) tried to do it.” My apologies to the guys reading this, but it’s true. A big part of our business is finishing up the electrical projects you start . . . from outlets to ceiling fans. And that’s okay, although it would be easier and probably cheaper if you’d call us first. We have the tools, experience and know-how to do the job right, start to finish. Call us for proven professional electrical expertise.
2. “I need a ceiling fan or chandelier installed.” We install lighting fixtures, fans, outlets, dimmers and more. Our work is guaranteed to meet city codes, and we use only copper wiring (no aluminum). Want to know why we use only copper wiring? Call us.
3. “I have a breaker that doesn’t stay reset.” If your breaker keeps tripping, you don’t have the equivalent of a flooded basement, yet. But, you do have a potentially dangerous problem involving the electrical circuits in your home. Don’t ignore it. Call us!
DECEMBER 11th & 18th SANTA TRAINS
4. “I’ve got an ugly internet or cable TV wiring stapled to my baseboards.” Let us do the job right. Snaking wire through walls is an art, a science, a skill . . . and our specialty. It’s also something few electricians, cable companies or internet providers like to do. But you’re in luck when you call us. We’re World Champions at snaking wire without knocking holes in your walls.
5. “Smells like something’s burning” Overheated appliances and electrical circuits are a problem you don’t want to ignore. A call to us now could save you a call to 911 later.

Surjit Brar and her family have their portrait taken through the non-profit organization Help-Portrait.
Helping make memories Sarah FITZGERALD Contributor
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But for some, a simple photograph is worth a whole lot more. Even though memories allow an opportunity to savour the emotional highlights
of the past, it’s photography that offers a way to capture a second in history and save it forever. Unfortunately, not everyone has the chance to enjoy the magic that great pictures provide. But two young photographers from Abbotsford are doing what they can to
change that. Laura Henderson and Tamara Okoti learned about HelpPortrait, a non-profit organization started in America on the Internet in 2008 by celebrity photographer Jeremy Cowart. The event is aimed at providing portraits to people who don’t have
the means to hire a professional photographer, and it’s hosted globally, with more than 50 countries participating on the same day. Henderson and Okoti said they thought it would be great to bring everlasting smiles to those in their community who are in need. “I’m a broke university student and have absolutely no money to give, but I can do this,” said Henderson.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can take their picture and give back to the community at the same time.â&#x20AC;? The Abbotsford event, which took the two ladies about sixweeks to organize, was held on Dec. 4 at the Clearbrook Public Library. Henderson and Okoti brought together nearly 40 photographers, hairstylists, makeup artists, Photoshop editors, and general volunteers to create photographic joy for everyone who stopped by. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great,â&#x20AC;? said Henderson during her HelpPortrait experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have met a lot of awesome people today. One couple that stopped by didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any pictures together. The portrait they had taken today will be their only portrait together and they are so excited to finally be able to send pictures back to their families up north.â&#x20AC;? The event also helped to introduce the world of photography to those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never experienced it before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a little boy who came in today whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never had his picture taken before,â&#x20AC;? said Okoti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me he was

Events like this also allows people the opportunity â&#x20AC;&#x153;to feel good about themselves; it gives them a sense of meaning,â&#x20AC;? said Henderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard some people exclaim â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, I look so good!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; while watching the photo editors touch up their pictures. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge.â&#x20AC;? Empowerment, self-esteem, and a CD full of edited portraits werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only benefits of Help-Portrait. For several
young ladies expecting their first-borns, building a bond with their budding brood was reason enough to stop by. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important to me to have a photo album for my son to see when he grows up,â&#x20AC;? said Naomi Baker, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expecting her son to be born soon. Although Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HelpPortrait session wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set up to help the volunteers, many of them walked with a bounce in their step, lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stresses temporarily lifted.

Finalist: Jenna O’Donnell My city is Abbotsford because...as a teenager growing up on Sumas mountain I never realized how much I enjoyed living in Abbotsford. I was (and still am) an adventure seeking, imaginative kid who wanted to explore the world; so naturally I was antsy to get out of this “small town.” After I graduated, at 18 I took off on a life-changing journey to Australia and Thailand for 7 months. After my big trip I returned back home to Sumas mountain. Since then (I am 25 now) every 2 years I have been going on adventures around the world, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and Singapore. After every trip I would always say, “I’m thinking about moving out of this small town”, but would find myself drawn back home, to Abbotsford. Even after seeing many other amazing cities around the world, it made me realize how much I love home; it really is the most beautiful place on earth. Three years ago I was going through another lull in life and to my surprise I found a great secret that Abbotsford has to offer. I really had no idea that in our own city there is a place you can go, be free and experience a wild ride. Abbotsford Skydive Centre! I went down there to make a skydive and found a whole other world. There are people from all over, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Korea, the USA and the list goes on. I met my boyfriend on that day, he is from Australia and has been living here for almost seven years now. I often say to him, why do you want to stay here in Abbotsford? He replies: “because I love it here. The people are amazing, the scenery is beautiful, just look at all the mountains around us! Plus everything we need is right here, in our own backyard!” Sometimes I wondered how I met a man from the other side of the world that wants to stay here in my home town and then I realized it’s because he’s right, we do live in a beautiful place.

House of healing Former addicts Angie and Richard Korkowski have turned their lives around and are now helping others
JOHN VAN PUTTEN
The Abbotsford News
Richard and Angie Korkowski sit with their dog Sassy. They are both former drug addicts who have now dedicated their lives to helping others with similar addictions. Five years ago they started Joshua House, a registered charity that aids men battling addictions. Sarah N. FITZGERALD News contributor

itting on the couch with their two small dogs, Sassy and Little Bear, Angie and Richard Korkowski sip coffee and talk about their life’s mission: assisting people with “hurts, habits, or hangups” overcome their problems and rebuild their lives with the help of Christian teachings and fellowship. For more than five years the Korkowskis have been running Joshua House, a registered charity they established to aid men with addiction issues. The inspiration for the idea came to Richard in late 2004 when, he says, he heard God telling him to “teach the addicted and afflicted His ways. “He spoke to me clearly and said, ‘You must trust me. Your purpose is to help my people.’” The two went to work creating Joshua House, “and the rest,” says

That’s what transforms lives.” Joshua House is a licensed recovery house, with five houses in four locations across Abbotsford, and has room for 38 clients. Men from all walks of life who are suffering from any sort of addiction – drugs, alcohol, gambling, or those of a sexual nature – are accepted by Joshua House. The hundreds of men who’ve passed through the doors of the house over the years have either arrived of their own volition, or have been placed there by the courts, social services, or their friends and family. And even though Joshua House uses Christianity as an anchor in the path to recovery, those in need are openly welcomed, regardless of their religious beliefs. Continued on A22

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesus Christ is all about love,â&#x20AC;? says Angie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should love people more because of their differences.â&#x20AC;? Joshua House costs about $250,000 a year to operate. To help cover the costs, clients are asked to pay $550 per month, which covers their room and board, laundry, counseling services, and job training. Richard and Angie also provide the necessary acceptance and encouragement needed to overcome personal demons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We genuinely care about each client that comes in,â&#x20AC;? says Richard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge anybody, we accept them for who they are. We try to be there for the whole process of recovery: before, during and after.â&#x20AC;? At present, the couple is only taking on male clients, but their hopes for the future are high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I picture a wing for the men and a wing for the women,â&#x20AC;? says Angie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And in the middle, the children.

The 13th annual Pacific Agriculture Show will take place at Tradex Jan. 27-29, 2011. This year’s event will feature several keynote speakers who will focus on business. Called “Building Business Success” the forum will involve two main speakers and a panel of local producers chaired by Trish Laughame from the BC Ministry of Agriculture. The object of the panel discussion is to help producers learn how to develop their business planning skills and improve their farm’s financial performance. This event starts at 9 a.m. on Jan. 28 in Tradex’s TerraLink Room. The first of the two principal speakers is Elaine Froese of Boissevain, Manitoba. She is an expert farm family business coach who will provide practical content that will empower farmers to take affirmative action. Next Al Scholz from Saskatoon, a management consultant in Canada’s agriculture industry for over 25 years, will talk about what he calls, “the opportunities on the horizon for Canadian agriculture and family farms, especially those that can adapt to the sweeping changes that technology allows and consumers now demand.” At the same time as the panel discussion, the Pacific AgriEnergy Forum takes place in the BMO Room starting at 9 a.m. The forum with its long list of excellent presenters will focus on ways farmers can take advantage of commercially available renewable agrienergy sources to improve their farm net incomes while enhancing environmental sustainability. These are just two of many events and seminars taking place at the show which is an all-encompassing event that includes the growers short

Heat winger Logan MacMillan tries a wrap-around on Lake Erie Monsters goalie Jason Bacashihua on Wednesday evening at the AESC.
Pelech’s goal a monster
Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
With goals at a premium for the scoring-starved Abbotsford Heat, Matt Pelech and Leland Irving combined to make a single tally stand up on Wednesday evening at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. Pelech, best known for his work as a stay-at-home defenceman, was the unlikely offensive hero in the Heat’s 1-0 victory over the Lake Erie Monsters. His rocket from the point at 17:05 of the first period hit Monsters goalie Jason Bacashihua on the mask, then
dribbled across the goal line. After the game, Pelech said he honestly couldn’t remember the last time he’d scored. It had been, in fact, more than a calendar year between goals for the burly blueliner – Pelech last bulged the twine on Nov. 20, 2009, against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. “I’m good for one goal a year, so I’ve got my quota,” Pelech joked. “I was just trying to get the puck hard on net, hoping there would be a scrum, a rebound or a lucky bounce.” At the other end, Irving was flawless, turning aside all 23 shots he faced en route to his second shutout of the season
and AHL-leading 13th victory. The Heat goalie barely got the better of Bacashihua in an epic goaltending duo – the Lake Erie keeper was often sensational in making 33 stops. Irving said it was “a lot of fun” to go save-for-save with his Monsters counterpart. “You could tell right from the start it was going to be a battle,” he said with a grin. “Bacashihua stood on his head – he played great tonight.” Given the Heat’s 34-23 edge in shots, the margin of victory easily could have been greater. But Bacashihua was larcenous on a number of occasions. Irving was less busy than
Bacashihua, as his team – for the most part – did a marvelous defensive job in front of him. The Heat locked it down in the third, allowing just four shots. With the win, the Heat (1411-0-3, 31 points) leapfrogged the Monsters (12-10-2-4) in the AHL’s North Division standings. Abbotsford, with 31 points, is tied for second with the Toronto Marlies, who have a game in hand, while Lake Erie is one point back in fourth place. The Heat resumed their homestand on Friday evening against the Chicago Wolves (Atlanta affiliate), but that result was unavailable at press time. Visit abbynews.com for updates.
The Fraser Valley Bruins major midget hockey team swept a pair of weekend road games against the Thompson Blazers. The Bruins won Saturday’s opener 9-3, and completed the sweep with a 7-2 victory on Sunday. Defenceman Shea Theodore sparked the Bruins’ attack with five points over the two games. Up next for the Fraser Valley squad is a Saturday date with the Cariboo Cougars at 3:30 p.m. at MSA Arena.
KARATE CHAMPS The Abbotsford Tekken Shotokan Karate Club turned in a series of solid results at the Zone 3 playoff tournament in Chilliwack last week. The local squad accumulated six gold medals, eight silvers and seven bronzes. Competitors included Babanpreet Kelay, Ekanki Chawla, Gurbaaz Bains, Alyssa Moller, Vishal Mutneja, Ryan Moller, Roshan Gosal, Evan Moller, Matthew Dueck, Leona Neudorf, Brayden Neudorf, Sahil Chawla, Justine Sandhu, and Manjit Gosal.

Giving Back to Our Community... Lister the Lion and his team were out in full force this past weekend at the Downtown Abbotsford Tree Lighting. This is an annual event that Landmark Realty enjoys participating in. Hundreds of balloons and bags of popcorn were enjoyed by all! Thanks to your generous donations $240 was donated to the Abbotsford Food Bank.
Abbotsford skeleton athlete Amy Gough slid to a bronze medal for the second straight week on the World Cup circuit, finishing third in Park City, Utah on Thursday. Gough, 33, was in fifth after the opening heat, but put down a clean second run to clock a combined time of 1:41.02 for third place. She finished just behind Germany’s Anja Huber (1:40.62) and Great Britain’s Shelley Rudman (1:40.80). “It feels really good to be

Hyswick, and Bert Creasy accomplished this unusual feat in the Haney Masters Bonspiel held Dec. 2-4. With a rather bizarre and almost impossible shot, the opposing skip raised Lamb’s seventh rock into the rings, and the cool and always dapper Lamb drew into the house for the perfect end! Meanwhile the Milt Sinclair rink of Derek Robinson, Jim Anderson and Doug Carvey finished fourth at the same spiel. The Abbotsford Curling Centre is up and running, and there is still time to get involved for the second half of the season. Call Tracy at 604 859-9244 to explore the possibilities.

BERGMANN Egon Klaus July 14, 1931 – Dec. 6, 2010 It is with sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Husband, Dad & Opa. He died within the first hour of Monday, December 6th; the day he was scheduled for open heart surgery. He will be remembered for his sense of humour, welcoming nature, gentleness, patience and generosity. These traits were exemplified in the loving care he gave his ailing wife. Egon was a devoted husband to his wife Irene, a caring father to Karen & James and a doting grandfather to Carly. Survived by his brothers Helmut (Karin), Heinz (Irmgard) and sister Karin (Friedrich) in Germany, relatives Mary Rueckert, Adele Sachvie in Winnipeg and Rodolf Henkel (Anita) in Calgary. He’ll be sadly missed by long-time friend Doreen Pickard in Winnipeg and many other relations and friends in Europe and Canada. He immigrated to Canada from Germany as a young man and tried his hand at logging and carpentry in Ontario. In Winnipeg he married, raised a family and after retiring as a machinist, Abbotsford became home. Family provided Egon with such simple pleasures as conversations over dinner and a steaming Mocha. Opa especially cherished time spent with his 14 year old granddaughter Carly, delighting in her every accomplishment in life. In addition, he also enjoyed his exercise classes at the Senior Club; skyping with his brother Heinz on Sunday mornings; visits from Mr. & Mrs. H. Gorbahn, Sister Wan, Sister Funk and other members of the Mormon Ministry; the support and endearing friendship from his neighbours Scotty and Gerry Cox. Our family extends its heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses and health professionals who so compassionately cared for Egon during his month long stay in Abbotsford Regional and New West Royal Columbian Hospitals. Particular thanks to Dr. Ken Dueck; nurses David Bennet and Renata Woodland; caseworkers Cherrie Wakefield and Christine Callaghan. Flowers gratefully declined in favour of a donation in support of animals or families. Let us celebrate his life while sharing memories at “Afternoon Tea” on Tuesday December 14th, 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. at SerendipiTea, 2626 Montrose Avenue, Abbotsford. REMPEL, Wilhelm (Bill) Dec. 9, 1917 - Dec. 6, 2010 Bill is survived by his wife Katherine, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Please join us to celebrate his life on Saturday, December 11 at 2:00 p.m. at Bakerview MB Church, 2285 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford. Wiebe & Jeske Funeral Services 604.859.5885

Mary Thiessen 1929 - 2010 Mary (Froese) Thiessen passed away December 5, 2010 at age 90. She was born to Abram Froese and Katherine Janzen. In 1926, the family emigrated from Orenburg, Russia to Canada and settled near Tofield, Alberta. In 1946, she married Nick Thiessen. They farmed and started their family in Vauxhaul, Alberta. In 1955, the lure of homestead land in the Peace River Country brought them to DeBolt, Alberta, where they raised five children and cared for foster children. Mary had a passion for vegetable and flower gardening, the produce and beauty of which she willingly shared. She graciously accepted the total strangers that Nick often brought home for dinner. She had a strong and practical faith, demonstrated by numerous acts of kindness and generosity. Her earthy wisdom, unassuming nature and loyalty to family and friends, provided a quiet stability for those around her. In 1994, Mary and Nick moved to Chilliwack, BC where they enjoyed the fellowship of neighbours and friends at the Greendale MB Church. In 2007 they moved to Abbotsford. She spent many hours making quilts, sewing for MCC and enjoying time with family and friends. She dearly missed Nick after he passed away April 24th, 2010. Mary is lovingly remembered by her children; Stephen (Vange), Victor (Judy), Violet (Rick) Chappell, Janice (Owen Kavanagh), Edward (Anne) Thiessen; thirteen grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; three brothers and two sisters. A memorial service will be held at the Greendale MB Church, 6550 Sumas Prairie Rd., Chilliwack, BC on Saturday, December 18th, at 1 pm. Donations to MCC gratefully accepted.

While he had no children, he was a loving ``Uncle`` to several of his friends` children & grandchildren, who will sorely miss him. He loved fishing, hunting & the outdoors, especially Tunkwa Lake and a special place on Greenstone Mountain, where he will be laid to rest. A memorial service may be held at a later date.

In Sikhism, cremation is the usual method of disposing of the remains regardless of the age of the deceased. In many parts of the world a Sikh funeral involves an open air funeral pyre. In North America where there is no provision for such proceedings, cremation takes place in a crematorium. The crematory may open directly to a room where funeral services are held, or it may be in a separate location from the premises of the Funeral Home. After the viewing ceremony the casket or plank is then lifted and carried to the crematorium or cremation ground. While the body is being carried to the cremation ground, hymns that induce feelings of detachment are recited. On reaching the crematorium/ cremation ground, the casket/ pyre is laid. Then the Ardas for consigning the body to fire is offered. The casket is then placed in the retort/cremation chamber for cremation, or the plank is placed
on the open pyre and usually the son presses the button to ignite the fire. The accompanying congregation then returns to the main chapel area to recite the Kirtan Sohila (prescribed pre-retirement night Scriptural prayer) and the Ardas is offered. In places where open pyre cremation takes place, the congregation usually sits at a reasonable distance and listens to Kirtan or collective singing of Shabads or recitation of detachment-inducing Shabads. Every Sikh funeral service, however simple or complex, consists of reciting the final prayer of the day, Kirtan Sohila, and the offering of Ardas. Both may be performed prior to cremation, the scattering of ashes, or otherwise disposing of remains. As to the time of cremation, no consideration as to whether it should take place during day or night is weighed.
