Abbotsford News I Saturday, December 18, 2010
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!
Green Gift Ideas Studies have shown that close to 99 per cent of what we buy goes into the garbage after only six short months of use. This holiday season, make sure the items you buy are truly needed and are high enough quality that users can enjoy years of service from your purchases. Re-gifting is OK! If you receive something you don’t need, look for ways to reuse it by passing it on to someone who can.
Host a Green Holiday Party Use reusable plates, cutlery and napkins. If you are using disposable drinking glasses use recyclable or compostable (not Styrofoam) ones and make sure they are labeled so people can reuse them throughout the night. Pack up the leftovers and refrigerate or give take home containers to guests as they leave.
Green Shopping Guide Before hitting the mall, make sure you bring along reusable bags. If you forget your bag, put as many items as possible in the ¿rst plastic bag you are given, or consider buying a reusable bag and making that part of the gift.
Trashing the Tree Remember that real Christmas trees are compostable. After the holidays, remove the decorations and place them at the curb for yard waste pick-up, according to collection speci¿cations. Trees can also be dropped off at the Abbotsford Mission Recycling Depot.The most eco-friendly solution is a live tree that you can plant in your yard or keep in a pot.

Have a waste-less holiday season!

Holiday Fire Safety 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: Christmas tree Safety • When purchasing a ‘live’ tree, look for the following signs of freshness. A fresh tree is green. Needles will be hard to pull from branches when bent between your ¿ngers. Fresh needles don’t break if bounced on the ground, and a minimum of needles should fall off. • When placing your tree, make sure it is kept away from sources of heat, like ¿replaces or heat vents, and out of the way of traf¿c. • Check out your lights before placing them on the tree. Look for worn or frayed wires and broken bulbs. Make sure you do not overload extension cords. Remember to turn the tree lights off before leaving home or going to sleep. 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. Heating your Home • Have your chimney inspected and have it cleaned if necessary before you start using it. Always us a ¿re screen and burn only material appropriate for ¿replaces. Burn only wood — never burn paper or pine boughs in a ¿replace as the burning particles can Àoat up your chimney and onto your roof or into your yard. Always remove ashes from your ¿replace and place in a metal container. • When heating your home with a portable heater make sure to follow manufactures instructions for clearances to other combustibles. Ensure children or pets do not knock the portable heater over and that it has automatic shut off protection.

City Waste Collection During Winter Weather The City will make every attempt to collect curbside recycling, yard waste, and garbage during snow and ice conditions, however safety of workers, residents, and property always comes ¿rst. If there is any such risk, we won’t be collecting. If collection is missed, please set out your materials on your next collection day. The usual container limits will be doubled for areas that have missed a collection day. On some occasions the City, or its contractor, may provide additional collection as soon as possible after the missed collection day. For more information, please see www.abbotsford.ca/ engineering, or call 604-853-5485 regarding CITY pickup or 604-864-9177 regarding CONTRACTOR pickup.
Proposed Disposition of Land The Council of the City of Abbotsford Pursuant to the Community Charter, gives notice of intention to dispose of the following City property: Legal Description:
Civic Address:
Frozen Yard Waste Containers
Abbotsford City Hall Holiday Hours
During frigid temperatures, yard waste is particularly prone to freezing in the yard waste container. The collection worker will try to empty the yard waste container by tipping it as usual, but the yard waste may stay frozen inside the can. The collection worker is not able to bang the container to try and dislodge the yard waste due to the damage that may result to the container when frozen. If your yard waste container and contents are frozen, trying bringing into a heated space a day or two before collection day so it thaws, and then put out on the morning of the collection day by 7:00 a.m. Alternatively, during frigid temperatures, try using Kraft paper yard waste bags.
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.
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);
That portion of : Parcel A Section 24 Township 16 New Westminster District Plan BCP39652; shown hatched red on the attached sketch
• second priority (remaining arterial, hillside areas and collector routes); and
35325 Raven Court
• third priority (remaining roadways not identi¿ed as ¿rst and second priority).
Property Description:
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 trafÂżc. Nature of Disposition: Statutory Right of Way Purchaser:
Globalive Wireless Management Corp.
Consideration to be received by the City for the disposition:
$13,500 per annum plus other valuable consideration
This notice is for the purpose of public disclosure only, not solicitation of an offer. More information may be obtained from Real Estate Services Division, City of Abbotsford, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, B.C., V2T 1W7, or Telephone 604.864.5679, Monday to Friday, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays.
The City does not remove snow and ice to bare pavement conditions. The public is encouraged to use caution, and oned wherever possible, park vehicles off the streets. Abandoned wed vehicles or vehicles obstructing roadways will be towed without notice to allow for snow clearing operationss to he continue and towing costs will be the responsibility of the m 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.

Longtime Operation Red Nose volunteers keep drunk drivers off the streets Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News
Being a driver for Operation Red Nose definitely has its advantages. To start, you get to give up a weekend evening or two. Secondly, you get to enjoy the company of drunks, while you are sober as a judge. And then the next day, you can drag your weary body around, having only dropped into bed a few hours before sunup. It’s a job Graham and Melanie Taylor can’t stay away from. They have been with Red Nose from the beginning, 15 years ago, and they will be out there again this weekend. “We volunteer like crazy anyhow, so it was just one more thing,” said Melanie. She is a retired banker, Graham a retired City of Abbotsford engineer, but their daytimers are as full as ever. They were volunteers for the 1995 Western Canada Summer Games. When the principles from that community project turned their attention to bringing Operation Red Nose to the Fraser Valley for the first time, Jack Robertson and Spud Murphy already had the Taylors’ phone number. Red Nose recruits 20 teams of three people for weekend evenings during the Christmas/New Year’s holidays. One member of the team will drive the client’s vehicle home, another will act as a navigator, and the third will be an escort driver, picking up the entire

The Taylors used to stick together, but now their experience is a valued asset. “They’ll split us up and have us mentoring other teams,” said Melanie. They have seen every type of drunks. “You get the happy drunks, the passedout drunks, the talkative drunks...” they say, sharing the sentence. And this year they are seeing more of the not-so-drunk drunks, with the province’s tough new impaired driving laws, that can bring tough penalties including vehicle impounding for those who are over 0.05. “They’re not sloshed drunk, but they’re not willing to take a chance,” said Melanie. Almost everyone donates generously,
happy to get home safely, and have their vehicle in their driveway. Graham said on Monday, he was approached by a man who had forgotten to donate, who slipped him a $10 bill to give to the operation. Occasionally, Graham will hear a woman digging through her purse looking for change, only to present him with 57 cents and an apology. “Having you, your husband and your kids home safe, that’s payment enough,” he will tell them. And then he suggests that the best repayment would be for people to come back for a day and volunteer even one night to drive for Red Nose. Impaired driving is an issue that’s important to Graham. He lost three friends to impaired driving during his high school years. And being on the job Continued on A7

Taking ownership New manager puts emphasis on resources Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
Jason Blumenfeld has been on the job for five days. Last Saturday, he was in Glens Falls, New York watching the AHL’s Adirondack Phantoms play the Portland Pirates. Two days later he was in Abbotsford, taking over as general manager of the Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre. It’s only been five days, but the 30-year-old has already met with city leaders, talked with staff numerous times, travelled to Penticton to confer with that arena’s management team, and was on hand for the announcement of country superstar Toby Keith’s tour coming to Abbotsford. “My feet are down and running,” said Blumenfeld. The energetic executive is ready to put his stamp on Abbotsford’s arena. While he understands the structure has a short but controversial history, running a deficit of $2.6 million in its first full year, Blumenfeld doesn’t dwell on the past. He is focused on moving forward.
JOHN VAN PUTTEN
Abbotsford News
Jason Blumenfeld is the new general manager of the Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre. “I’m going to do what I’ve always done. We (Global Spectrum) have a lot of resources and I’ve told staff to lean on those resources.” It’s a strategy that’s worked for him before. Originally from the Philadelphia area, Blumenfeld began his career interning for the winter and summer X Games. He turned that experience into jobs with both the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL and baseball’s Philadelphia Phillies. In 2006, at age 26, he became
the youngest manager ever to work for Global Spectrum, when he took over the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. “I was new, inexperienced, I had to rely on my resources and those resources worked.” At age 28, he became manager of the 4,800-seat Glens Falls Civic Center in New York. Now he has his greatest challenge to date. Having found an apartment in town, Blumenfeld is connecting with his new community. “I want to be the face of this

building. I want to talk to people about what they think should be done differently. I want to know what worked and what didn’t.” In Glens Falls, country and hard rock was always successful. Abbotsford may be different. “Country’s popular everywhere, but I’m still trying to get my hands around what this community is all about.” Blumenfeld isn’t going to make false promises about turning the building around this year. “You can’t put a timetable on it.” What he does want is for the community to take ownership of the building and the Abbotsford Heat hockey club. “It’s Abbotsford’s building and it’s Abbotsford’s team. We have to embrace them.” More people coming through the doors is the obvious goal, but that doesn’t necessarily mean more shows. He says there’s no point in booking shows every weekend and saturating the area. “We have to manage our expectations ... gauge what our market will bear.” But he also wants to work with other Global Spectrum arenas in B.C. and Washington to bring bigger names to town. “Using our resources, we have to build on that.”
Seven years for Bacon Brothers arrested after shootout at Surrey home
Kevin DIAKIW Black Press
James Bacon has been sentenced to seven years in prison on weapons charges. One of the three notorious Abbotsford brothers, Bacon was given a 40-month credit for time already served, meaning he will spend another three years and eight months in jail. Meanwhile, he is awaiting trial on murder charges relating to the Surrey Six slaying, in which two innocent people were gunned down in a Surrey apartment tower, along with four men associated with Lower Mainland gangs. Crown prosecutor Teresa Mitchell-Banks had been seeking a 10to 12-year jail sentence on the weapons conviction. In sentencing Bacon Friday morning in Surrey Provincial Court, Judge Jean Lytwyn said she took into consideration “escalating public concerns to gun violence in the Lower Mainland.” James Bacon and his brother Jarrod were charged three years ago after police officers discovered a hidden compartment in a
Chevy Suburban parked in the garage of the Bacon residence in Surrey. It contained four loaded handguns, a Glock 40-calibre Model 23, a Sig Sauer 45-calibre Model P220, a Glock 40-calibre Model 22 and a Ceska Zbrojovka Model TT9, 9-mm, all restricted weapons, along with five loaded ammunition magazines. Bacon’s older brother Jarrod was charged with the same offences, but the judge said there wasn’t enough evidence to link him to the concealed weapons. In November, Lytwyn described the custom-built hiding place underneath the vehicle’s centre console cup holder as a “sophisticated secret compartment.” It was discovered by police following the attempted murder of James Bacon by one or more assassins who opened fire with .45-calibre handguns when James returned to the family home in his brother Jarrod’s Corvette after a night out around 1 a.m. April 13, 2007.

HOME INVASION AND SHOOTING Mission RCMP are investigating a report of a home invasion and shooting that occurred Tuesday in the 29900 block of Dewdney Trunk Road. Sgt. Peter Thiessen said five unidentified men broke into a home, where they restrained another man, who was shot and sustained non-life-threatening injuries. He said the group stole several items from the home, including cash, three guns, and marijuana which was being grown on the property. They fled in an unknown vehicle. “Police believe that this was a targeted attack and that there is no risk to the general public,” Thiessen said in a press release. No further details were released. Anyone with information is asked to call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Five charged with Bacon fired Glock during gun battle gas station robbery From A5
Police investigating three more Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
The five suspects arrested in connection to an armed robbery in Abbotsford last month have all been charged. Harveer Gill, 22, and Kiran Devi Sharma, 22, have each been charged with one count of robbery and two counts of using a firearm in the commission of an offence. Three 17-year-old males were also charged, but cannot
be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The charges relate to the robbery of a gas station and convenience store on Nov. 24 in the 5600 block of Riverside Road. Police are still investigating two other robberies that occurred in Abbotsford around the same time. One took place Nov. 22 at a video store in the 30500 block of Blueridge Drive and another was Nov. 23 at a res-
taurant in the 32400 block of George Ferguson Way. All three robberies involved a group of people wearing balaclavas, dark clothing, and gloves, while armed with handguns. Also still under investigation is the robbery of a pizza restaurant in Mission on Nov. 24 with similar suspect descriptions. Neither Gill nor Sharma have previous criminal histories, according to provincial court records. They are both scheduled for their next appearance in Abbotsford provincial court on Jan. 6.
James fled from the car, getting shot in the back as he ran for his life. Because he was wearing a bullet-proof vest, he escaped with severe bruising between his shoulder blades. Jarrod was not home the night of the shooting. Lytwyn said the evidence proved the Glock was fired by James Bacon during the gun battle and that he hid the gun in the compartment or had someone else put it there before the police arrived. Lytwyn found James guilty of 10 weapons-related charges and one count of criminal drug possession because he admitted to carrying
108 Oxycodone pills, a powerful painkiller better known by the U.S. brand name of OxyContin. The evidence against Jarrod differed from that of his brother, Lytwyn said in acquitting him. While Mitchell-Banks argued the discovery of Jarrod’s DNA on the magazine of the Glock fired by James meant Jarrod was involved, Lytwyn said the “biological material containing the DNA found on the magazine is too small, too inconclusive to lead to the conclusion suggested by the Crown.” The Bacon brothers grew up in Abbotsford, but briefly moved to Surrey with their parents in 2007. After the shooting attack, the family returned to Abbotsford.
Best payback is a day of volunteer driving For From A4
at the city works yard, he has seen many demolished cars dropped off. “I’ve seen the wrecks that come in, and I can tell you, a vehicle is not much of a shell to protect you in a crash with a solid object.” He said New Year’s Eve is always a zoo. The driving teams mostly wait around for a few calls until about 10 p.m., and then they run all night, into the wee hours of the morning. Graham said even with 30 or so Red Nose teams on the road and numerous cabs, people still have to wait for rides. He advises people
going to house parties to spend the night. Plan ahead for the evening, and have a designated driver. “Flip a coin,” he said. “People who call in have to be patient. Be prepared to wait. Don’t go get in your vehicle.” They have never had any serious problems. Most clients are in a mood to celebrate, and taking Red Nose means they can keep celebrating. Graham said his passengers are always happy when they see a police roadblock, in a “bring it on” kind of way. It validates that they are doing the smart thing, and the right thing.
MORE DRIVERS NEEDED
Operation Red Nose needs drivers for New Year’s Eve. “We seriously under-estimated the demand,” said Christine Scott, the agency’s communications coordinator. Last year they offered 569 rides. This year, with two busy days on Dec. 18 and 31 still to go, they are already at 459. The group has been running with 70 volunteers so far, but will need 25-27 driving teams of three people for New Year’s Eve, in addition to 10 at headquarters. “So, we need at least 85,” said
Scott. She added that having more drivers available means that those who call in won’t be forced to wait for their ride for a half hour or longer. Volunteers can see the website operationrednose.com, click on the appropriate community, and follow the simple prompts. Fill out an application, and drop it off at the community policing office – instructions and all relevant information are on the form. Scott said most people who don’t have a poor driving record or a criminal record will be eligible. “It’s easy to volunteer.”

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Cyclists on sidewalks
Do you agree with Mike de Jong’s idea of lowering the voting age to 16?
I am a cyclist and I confess I ride on the sidewalks too when it isn’t safe to ride on the streets. The truth is, in summer there are as many cyclists on South Fraser Way or George Ferguson as walkers. If there were safe cycle lanes there wouldn’t be a problem, so in the meantime if we want to keep the cyclists alive we will find them on the sidewalks. Erf893
To answer, go to abbynews.com
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
When I drive or ride my bicycle in this town, I have to tolerate users of both modes of transportation equally because both seem to represent a portion of the human race with a deficiency of common sense for their own safety and of others as well. rhiebert
Will you support a local charity this holiday season?
I frequently have used sidewalks in Abbotsford, mainly because I feel unsafe on roads built without a consideration for alternative transportation. I prefer using the road, but feel as though city-wide bike lanes should be a viably considered initiative in the very near future. Adam Roper
YOU RESPONDED:
YES: 69% NO: 31%
A merry Christmas, despite ye judgment Andrew
Holota
On Point There’s a Biblical phrase that goes: Judge not, that ye be not judged. Yet, we all do a lot of it. The criteria are infinite. Height, weight, breadth of hips, depth of chest, length of leg, heft of bicep, colour of skin, jut of nose, and point of gaze. What was said and what was forgotten. What was done, and what was not. What is common, and what is different. And through this complex and often arbitrary process, we rank our fellow man – good, bad, and everywhere in between. Much of it is guided and weighted by values and prejudices, faiths and fears, aspirations and expectations. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a column poking fun at the commercialization of Christmas carols. Some of the reader response was decidely judgmental, particularly
from folks who reasoned that if I railed against being inundated by Christmas carols in shopping malls, grocery stores, and every other public place, then it obviously followed I was against Christmas, and Christmas trees, and concerts, and joy, and if you can imagine, against Christianity itself. One emailer labelled me a God-hater. Another said I should “get lost.” And yet another maintained I had no idea of the true meaning of Christmas. No appreciation for Christmas? I happen to like Christmas, actually. Let me describe how it has unfolded in our small family for many years, and then you can judge whether all those condemnations were well placed. Before Christmas, we write our cheques to our favourite charities, which support the homeless and hungry. We put our bills in the Sally Ann kettles, and the firemen’s boots. We gather our contributions for various drives, at workplace and school. For weeks ahead, I’ve been making handmade gifts, in wood and shell and painted art, because I think that often the most cherished gifts are the ones
that come from your hands and heart. We decorate our house with boughs of fresh-cut cedar and fir and holly, and bring out family heirlooms that have been brought from Europe, such as carvings and handcrafted ornaments. My mother makes authentic German cookies and cakes.
We gather by the tree, open presents, share hugs, and feel incredibly fortunate to be where we are. I cook a special Christmas Eve dinner; and we raise a toast to the two fathers who are no longer with us, and are missed even more at this time of year. It is a time of much happiness, and deep sadness. And then, as my wife’s family tradition dictates, the Christmas story is
read from the Bible. For many years, it was she who read the passages in German. Now it is my daughter who reads in English the story of how the Christ child came into the world. On Christmas morning we gather by the real Christmas tree, open presents, share hugs, and feel incredibly fortunate to be where we are, enjoying what we have, because we know from personal and family experience, what it is like to have far less, in places that know no peace. Then, we spend the day together, talking and cooking and just being together, eventually sitting down to a traditional roast goose. And yes, through all of that is some Christmas music, because it’s the right time and place. So that, dear defenders of sacred cows, or carols, as the case may be, is the meaning of my meaningless Christmas. May I offer this, in the true spirit of the season, whether you be Christian or Muslim or Sikh or Buddhist, or none of the above: Goodwill among all. Merry Christmas!

R T S Reasons why people don’t vote Michael de Jong: Have you recently fallen on your head? Sixteen-yearold voters? While your goal of getting more voters out to vote is commendable, maybe you should first find out why people don’t vote today. Find out why politicians are the least trusted professionals in B.C. and perhaps you will begin to address the issue of voter apathy. The Ontario Supreme Court set a national precedent by determining that no voter can legally hold a politician accountable for what they promise (technically, a contractual obligation) during a campaign – in fact, they went so far as to suggest that any voter that be-
lieved a politician during an election campaign may be somewhat naïve. Address this issue and perhaps you will begin to address the issue of voter apathy. According to public opinion, no politician appears to be held accountable for his or her scandals or broken promises. Address this issue and perhaps you will begin to address the issue of voter apathy. How many of the last 10 B.C. premiers have faced criminal charges and/or investigation? Address this issue, and perhaps you will begin to address voter apathy. While I believe that Dianne Watts meant no slight when she indicated that “…people
of that calibre are not interested in B.C. politics,” she made a telling comment. Look at the individuals who were not currently part of the active Liberal system, who were desperately courted, and who subsequently turned down the Liberal leadership. After their unanimous refusals the people of B.C. may be reduced to facing the re-treads and also-rans. We potentially face an election of Bill Vander Zalm, the shining white knight of the anti-HST crusade versus Christy Clark – put your own title to this. Both were an embarrassment to their parties and left “for the good of the party.” Start dealing honestly with
the issues and people will vote. Start living in a democratic world and people will vote. Start earning the trust of the people (remember them?) and people will vote. Start demonstrating good, moral character and people will vote. Make your word mean something and people will vote. The B.C. culture of ‘voting against what you don’t want’ is not good democracy, and like all second-rate systems, the people have gotten tired of it. If you want people to vote, and that is a very honourable goal, then develop a decent democracy rather than maintain our current kakistocracy. Al LaFontaine

Hold development for water plan
“Villagers demand answers.” When I read that headline it struck me as being more like the headline from a news report of flooding in the Third World than in a city in BC. It is a little concerning that Abbotsford’s mayor, an ex-school teacher and exprincipal, does not see a clear connection between cutting down trees; removing the ground cover; replacing the trees and ground cover with asphalt, concrete and acres of shingled roofs; and increased runoff. Why is the mayor, council or anyone for that matter surprised that increased runoff has resulted in the stream bottom accumulating sediment? It would seem to me that the increased sediment in the stream is a symptom or supporting evidence of a runoff problem, not another convenient
excuse for city council to do nothing. The most mindboggling aspect of the report on the problems with flooding was the mayor’s statement: “The mountain hasn’t seen a lot of development in the past two or three years, but the flooding keeps happening.” What? Let me get this straight. The city approved development without requiring any remedial action by the developers involved to compensate for the
difference in runoff that occurs between land with trees, bush, grass and other assorted ground cover versus the same area covered with asphalt, concrete and shingled roofs. The development took place, there was an increase in runoff, resulting in flooding for those located downhill from the development, city council has done nothing to address or remedy the flooding problems, and the mayor is surprised that the
flooding hasn’t, somehow miraculously, stopped? The responsible, thoughtful response would be to hold off approving the new development until the Integrated Stormwater Management Plan is prepared. Why is it unlikely council will act responsibly and put the development on hold until the plan is done? Money. Abbotsford has been so financially mismanaged that council
desperately needs the development fees to fund their spend, spend, spendthrift ways. No doubt the city will cry, ‘we are too poor’ to take any action to address the flooding – even though council has unlimited funds when it comes to behaviours subsidizing the purchase of a professional hockey team by privileged, wealthy Abbotsford citizens.

Sumas Mountain Road will be closed between Kilgard Road and McKee Road until further notice due to bank erosion. Local traffic will be permitted to travel but access has been reduced to alternating single lane traffic. Residents of Area H and Auguston will have to detour via McKee Road until further notice. Preliminary work on a culvert had already forced single lane traffic on the road, however, a washout last Wednesday just down the hill prompted the decision to detour most of the traffic away from the area. The speed limit is down to 30 km/h, and only residents from the Sumas First Nation Reserve and Atkinson Road will be allowed access through that route. Originally, the culvert repair was going to be delayed until the end of January, when the new Whatcom Road extension would be opened, and thus alleviating much of the traffic congestion. City crews will now begin working to install the new culvert and repair the washout. Repairs are estimated to take up to six weeks.

APD spokesman Const. Ian MacDonald said there are currently 83 housing units – including apartments and townhouses – that are part of the program. Of those, 35 are fully certified and the rest are in the process. The prog ram in Abbotsford is headed by Const. Pat Patterson. The three BC Housing projects in Abbotsford that have become certified are Cedarhurst on Bevan Avenue, Fernview on McKenzie Road, and Matsqui Townhouses on Marshall Road. MacDonald said becoming certified means a development has met specific security requirements, management has taken training to learn about things such as how to effectively screen for tenants, and residents have learned about crime prevention and personal safety. Certified properties can then display the CFMH sign and use the logo in their rental advertising. Regular review and annual re-certification also takes place. MacDonald said the goal is to reduce criminal activity, ensure safety and promote civic pride. “The mission of the Abbotsford Police Department is to make Abbotsford the safest city in British Columbia,” he said.

Students from the Rwinkwavu school perform a welcome dance for visitors. the perfect Christmas gift this year is much more basic – toilets. With only eight latrines to accommodate 1,400 students, the school children must each share a single open pit toilet with 175 others. But a Langley-based charity with volunteers from across the Lower Mainland, has been working for the past year and a half to improve conditions at the school and create a legacy that transcends the violence that consumed the tiny central African country for 100 days
in 1994. Rwinkwavu is a mining town located near Rwanda’s border with Tanzania. Elizabeth Johnson, one of the founders of the charity Grace Rwanda, was born and raised there. She and fellow genocide survivor Marie Louise Kaligirwa both lost family members in the massacre that saw between 800,000 and one million of their fellow Tutsis murdered alongside moderate Hutus over a three-month period. Kaligirwa was left feeling like a stranger in her homeland after
her entire family was killed. She moved near friends in Montreal, before coming west to Vancouver. Johnson, who now lives in Walnut Grove, moved to Vancouver in 1999, with her then sevenyear-old daughter. Together, the women formed Grace Rwanda as a way to help bring healing to the central African nation. “There should be no barriers to education for those who want to go (to school),” said Johnson, who has returned to her village in Rwanda sevContinued on A15

Charity supports students eral times, to learn what its greatest needs are. Joined by volunteers from North Vancouver to Abbotsford, Johnson and Kaligirwa have already helped the community complete an eight-classroom addition to the Rwinkwavu school, which allows local children to study up to Grade 9, where they could once only complete Grades 1-6. The agency has now turned its attention to several new projects, beginning with a 16-hole latrine which will triple the number of toilets currently available and provide a basic level of sanitation to the school. A hole for the latrine has already been dug by the community, and Grace Rwanda is now asking for financial support from Lower Mainland residents to begin construction of the building. Total cost of the project is $20,000. Once the latrine is complete, Grace Rwanda will turn its attention to other projects, including building a new kitchen to replace one which was dismantled for safety reasons, a new library and improvements to a sports field. Kathy Moodie’s cousin served at the right hand of Gen. Romeo Dallaire in the spring of 1994. “I’ve had a real interest in Rwanda since he was there,” said the Abbotsford woman, who has known Johnson and Kaligirwa for about five years and has supported them in their work since they began Grace Rwanda in 2009. “It is important because it’s the next generation coming up, who will make a difference in Rwanda,” said Moodie. “Without the stuff (Grace Rwanda is) doing, from a dietary stand as well as proper latrines, it’s going to be the same old, same old.” “The future of any of these developing countries is with their youth,” added Donna, who asked that her last name not be used. The fact that the two women at the helm are genocide survivors is crucial, said Donna.

You may soon be penniless, but you’ll probably enjoy it. A Senate committee’s recommendation to eliminate Canada’s penny will be welcomed by most people and businesses, predicts the Consumers Association of Canada. “It won’t be a loss for consumers,� president Bruce Cran said. “As far as we’re concerned, this is taking place 20 years too late.� Cran noted eliminating the penny only affects cash transactions, which will be rounded to the nearest five cents. Debit, credit and other electronic transactions can still be priced in one-cent increments as they are now. A report of the Senate finance committee recommends production of pennies – which cost about 1.5 cents each to make – be halted as soon as possible and the one-cent coin be phased out over the following two years.

Phishing e-mails Phishing e-mails are a common way for hackers to get at your personal information or break into your computer. Common phishing e-mails around the holidays include e-cards and messages pretending
to be from companies like UPS or Fedex. BBB Advice: Don’t click on any links or open any attachments to e-mails until you have confirmed that they are not malicious. E-mail addresses that don’t match up, typos and grammatical mistakes are common red flags of a malicious phishing e-mail. Also beware of unsolicited e-mails from companies with which you have no association. Make sure you have antivirus software. For more advice see www.mbc.bbb.org.

Bogus charities The holidays are a time of giving which creates a great opportunity for scammers to solicit donations to line their own pockets. Also beware of solicitations from charities that don’t necessarily deliver on their promises or are ill-equipped to carry through on

Hydro rate jolt coming Bills projected to rise 10 per cent each year Jeff NAGEL Black Press
Expect to see your household’s monthly electricity bill climb $7 in each of the next three years. BC Hydro is now projecting a series of rate increases that will raise a typical monthly residential bill by $21 – a nearly 30 per cent jump from $71 to $92 – by 2013. The Crown corporation needs to raise $6 billion to upgrade aging power stations, transmission lines and the Vancouver city centre transmission system. “To pay for these much-needed projects, we need to increase rates, while still looking at every way to keep them among the lowest in North America,” BC Hydro president and CEO
Dave Cobb said in a statement Dec. 2. The planned hikes mean a typical home will pay about $250 more in 2013 than it did this year. B.C. Public Interest Advocacy Centre executive director Jim Quail said the rate increases are likely to continue indefinitely, with electricity bills doubling about every eight years. “There’s no end in sight,” he said. “A number of their projections are probably optimistic. We think if anything it’s conservative.” The much higher cost of modern power infrastructure compared to the dams built in the 1960s is the main reason. But Quail also blames policy decisions like buying higher priced “clean” electricity from run-of-river power plants and the move to install smart meters in every home, which he predicts will be a billion-dollar boondoggle rather than an investment paying off in conservation. For now, Hydro customers may see some shortterm rate relief. The utility had raised rates 9.3 per cent on an interim basis last April, but regulators at the B.C. Utilities Commission have ruled only a 7.29 per cent increase was justified. Customers should get the difference refunded in early 2011.

Manufacturing & Producer EXCELLENCE AWARD
Sponsored by
SEVENOAKS SHOPPING CENTRE The Manufacturing & Producer Excellence Award, sponsored by Sevenoaks Shopping Centre, is granted to a business that has demonstrated outstanding achievement manufacturing or producing a product. PRESENTED BY
Chamber of Commerce
And the award goes to…
UNITEX SALES LTD.
A year that began with a major deal at the 2010 Winter Olympics is ending with another feather in the cap for Unitex Sales Ltd. The Abbotsford-based uniforms supplier was chosen as the recipient of the Manufacturing and Producer Excellence trophy at the 15th Abbotsford Business Excellence Awards. “You could say I’m honoured but humbled,” said Unitex owner Bob Johnson. “It’s extremely gratifying to be recognized.” Unitex, which specializes in supplying uniforms for the grocery industry, security companies and pharmacies, started 2010 on the right foot when it landed the uniforms contract for volunteers at Vancouver International Airport during the Olympics in February. “Being chosen for that for our expertise without paying any licensing fees, it’s pretty unique for Abbotsford to have a company to be able to pull that off,” Johnson said. Unitex employs a staff of 10 at its Simpson Road base, up from just three employees when the business was purchased 15 years ago. Johnson said it is enjoying retail volume increases of about 10 per cent per year.
Doing “a lot of little things correctly” is among the keys to the company’s successes, Johnson said. It owns its own building and equipment, and has a “unique niche” in the marketplace, he said. Unitex supplies uniforms for a large proportion of security firms in the Lower Mainland, and its grocery clients include the Thrifty Foods supermarket chain. Other clients come from across Canada, including security for the Saskatchewan Roughriders football team. Johnson said his business relies greatly on working relationships developed over his 30 years in the industry. It was also the master merchandiser at the Abbotsford Air Show, responsible for promotional items such as hats and sunglasses. Johnson added that thanks were due to his staff and the Abbotsford business community for their contributions to receiving the business excellence award.

Agriculture & Agri-Business EXCELLENCE AWARD Sponsored by
TD CANADA TRUST
The Agricultural & Agri-Business Excellence Award that is sponsored by TD Canada Trust is granted to a business that is considered a leader in their industry and has made a positive contribution to agriculture in Abbotsford. PRESENTED BY
Chamber of Commerce
And the award goes to…
NUTRIVA GROUP
An innovative approach to developing new, healthier dairy products has earned special recognition for Abbotsford’s Nutriva Group. Nutriva was named the recipient of the Agricultural and Agri-Business Excellence award at the 15th Abbotsford Business Excellence Awards. “I was honoured and humbled at the same time,” said chief executive officer Bill Vanderkooi, who operates Nutriva’s three business units with his brothers. “We’re in pretty good company because Abbotsford is a progressive city with a lot of progressive businesses.” While some of its operations date back to 2000, Nutriva was formed as a group in 2009. Its rapid expansion is marked by a staff increase to 50 from only 10 to 15 when it was established about two years ago. While the group offers a range of agri-foods services such as trucking and specialty-ingredient distribution, Vanderkooi said the company intends to increase its focus on developing healthy food products.
“We’ve found our mission which is to bring healthy foods to the world, and now it’s about dialling in on that,” he said. “We have a real focus on innovation, and part of that is being the incubator and taking those ideas close to commercialization.” Through its Vitala brand, Nutriva produces milk and egg products that are nutritionally enriched by way of the diet fed to the animals. More recently it has added a new low-sugar yogurt product, and is also developing a new sport-recovery beverage. Vanderkooi said Nutriva does about 80 per cent of its trade in B.C., but has also entered strategic partnerships with firms in Ontario and Quebec, and aims to “go global” with some of its new products. He added that attracting high-calibre employees has been a key to success. “It’s very important having the right people in the right positions,” Vanderkooi said.
“I was honoured and humbled at the same time”

Finalist: Karen Donahue My city is Abbotsford because... 7 years ago we chose and moved to Abbotsford. We had looked at other areas of the lower mainland but no other community could compare to Abbotsford’s feeling of living in the country with access to everything a city has to offer. Abbotsford is a safe, beautiful and affordable place to live. Choosing Abbotsford as the place we wanted to live and raise kids in was the best decision my husband and I have ever made, I could not imagine living anywhere else. We truly have the best of everything, the city, the country, the views, the diversity, the amenities, but above else the people. This is my Abbotsford.

The Sweeney Singers are asking the public to join them as they prepare to celebrate the Christmas season. The Sweeneys are presenting their annual holiday concert on Tuesday, Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. at Bakerview Church (2285 Clearbrook Rd. in Abbotsford). The group has been performing together for 21 years, singing a wide range of styles from jazz to classical. Beginning with a group of eight children, director Janet Sweeney heads the group of now accomplished adult singers. The group has a particular talent and enthusiasm for a capella choral singing. This concert will feature traditional holiday favourites from previous concerts. The group’s most recent recording, Calling My Children Home, will be available for purchase after the performance. Concert proceeds will go to support Matthew’s House, an organization that will provide respite for children with life limiting disabilities. Donations will be accepted at the door.

League-leading Pens edge Heat in overtime Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Mission Restorative Resolutions
A valiant effort against the top team in the American Hockey League fell short for the Abbotsford Heat on Wednesday evening, as they dropped a 2-1 overtime decision to the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins on the road in Pennsylvania. Penguins forward Nick Johnson snapped the deadlock at the 1:50 mark of the extra frame, tipping a point shot past Heat goalie Matt Keetley. Keetley, who was making his first start since Nov. 5, played well in defeat, stopping 20 of 22 shots. The Heat backup netminder still looking for his first victory of the season – his record fell to 0-5-1. “We’ve got a lot of

ten a better result. He put himself in a position to get a win before Christmas, and that’s certainly what we were all aiming for.” The Pens got on the board first, as Keven Veilleux deflected a Joey Mormina shot past Keetley at 3:43 of the opening frame. The Heat out-shot the Penguins 14-4 in the period, thanks in large part to four power plays, but they came up empty. Keetley was at his busiest in the second, making 13 saves as the Heat killed off three consecutive Penguins power plays. The visitors equalized with just 1:43 remaining in regulation time, when Keith Seabrook’s blast from the point found its way past Curry. In OT, Pens captain Ryan Craig – an Abbotsford native – won an offensive-zone faceoff back to Steve Wagner at the point, who fired a shot that Johnson tipped home to seal the victory. Playfair called it “a huge point on the road” for his crew, which rolled into Wilkes-Barre at 3:30 a.m. after playing the previous night in Rochester, N.Y. and spent most of the day catching up on rest. The Pens improved their AHL-best record to 22-6-0, while Abby (16-12-1-3) moved into a tie with the Hamilton Bulldogs atop the North Division with 36 points. The Heat and Penguins played again on Friday, but that result was unavailable at press time.

Cascades add ‘future leader’ Gary AHUJA Black Press

Macki Shopland, a UFV Cascades recruit, plays for the Vancouver Whitecaps prospects squad.
She may be an incoming freshman at the University of the Fraser Valley, but big things are expected of Macki Shopland. Shopland, who graduates from Langley’s Walnut Grove Secondary in June, is joining the Cascades women’s soccer program next fall. Fraser Valley head coach Rob Giesbrecht said he was thrilled to land a player of Shopland’s calibre and pedigree. “Macki will play a vital role in the future success of UFV women’s soccer not only because of her ability as a soccer player, but also because of who she is
as a person,” he said. “Macki is a future leader in our program.” Giesbrecht was impressed by more than just Shopland’s skill set, calling her a good communicator and a hard worker. “When you see those things in a 17or 18-year-old, you can tell they are the future leaders of your program,” he said. For Shopland, this is a chance to play highlevel university soccer, while staying close to home. “It is a great program and I think I can step in and help right away,” she said. “They have clearly shown they are on the way up.” She was referring to the Cascades’ gold

DRIVERS/COURIER/ TRUCKING
Born January 18, 1981, in Edmonton, AB to Sandra Janzen and Steve Flood, passed away December 14, 2010 in the arms of her brother, sister, mom and friends. Where there is love, there is life, and Amie had a life full of love and will continue to... In November 1981, Amie, Josh and her Mom moved to BC where she remained. As a child, Amie was an avid reader, a gifted student and a lover of dance. On April 18, 1999, Amie was in a mva which caused a catastrophic brain injury. Amie, being the fighter she was, survived. Although life wasn’t always easy, Amie kept a smile on her face and kept family and friends laughing. She never lost her charisma or her demented sense of humour. Amie was truly unique, who was not only a survivor, but a warrior! Amie was predeceased by her Uncle Harold Janzen. Amie is survived by her Mother, Sandra, who gave Amie unconditional love every day of her life; brother Joshua, who was Amie’s partner in crime as teenagers; her baby sister, Laura, who Amie helped raise and loved her as a daughter; Oma and Opa, Erhard and Siegrid Janzen of Kelowna, BC as well as her loving friends. A special thank you to Chris Rider, Lisa Hayes and Nicki Hornberger for their amazing support. Also the Dr’s and nurses at Ridge Meadows Hospital (2W) for their care and Dr. Richard Nakamura, who was Amie’s primary physician. A memorial will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to Brain Injury Connections, #102/103 2776 Bourquin Cres. W, Abbotsford, BC would be appreciated.
Angels around us, angels beside us, angels within us. Her wings wrap gently around us. Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca
