Stave Lake Water Supply & Treatment Project Council Presentation The business case for the Stave Lake Water Supply and Treatment Project will be presented to the Abbotsford and Mission Councils on April 4, 2011. To address growing demands on our water supply, the Abbotsford-Mission Water & Sewer Commission (AMWSC) is undertaking the development of Stave Lake as a new water supply source for the City of Abbotsford and the District of Mission. Approximately $300 million is required for this project, which is beyond the AMWSC’s capacity to develop alone. Cost-sharing partnerships and a variety of funding agreements are needed for the project to proceed. A business case analysis has been conducted that reviews the different ways the project can be delivered, including the traditional approach used by the AMWSC, as well as publicprivate partnership approaches. The business case will be presented to the Abbotsford and Mission Councils on April 4, 2011. If Abbotsford and Mission Councils agree on April 4, 2011 that a public-private partnership offers the best value, they may submit an application for funding to the Federal Government for consideration under the P3 Canada Fund for up to 25 per cent funding for the project, or approximately $71.2 million dollars. If this happens, Abbotsford and Mission will seek the consent of their electorate in the Fall 2011 as the next step in moving forward with the process.

Wedding crash claims settled

Vikki HOPES

Abbotsford News

HOPE is PERSEVERING and remembering that even the snail made it to the ARK RK

Civil claims involving 30 people affected by a 2007 crash that killed six pedestrians and injured 19 others have been settled without a trial. Details of the settlement cannot be revealed due to terms of the agreement, said Bernie Simpson, lawyer for the majority of the plaintiffs. The matter, which was scheduled to go to trial last September, was settled through mediator Donald Brenner, former chief justice of the Supreme Court of B .C. who died last week at the age of 64. The fact that the settlement was reached last fall was revealed earlier this week. Simpson said all the parties involved recognized the complexity of the case – with so many plaintiffs

and defendants – and that a trial “could have gone on for years.” “This was probably the most complex and tragic accident that’s happened in British Columbia. In the 40 years I’ve been practising, I can’t think of anything comparable.” The tragedy occurred on the evening of Aug. 24, 2007 in the 1600 block of Lefeuvre Road, when a pickup truck driven by Bachittar Singh Brar, 71, drove into a group of more than 30 people who were involved in a traditional pre-wedding procession. The crash killed two Abbotsford women, Satwinder Mahil and Harjinder Sanghera, both 57, as well as Damanpreet Kang, 13, and Rubal Gill, 21 of Brampton, Ont.; Bhupinder Clair, 32, of Hamilton, Ont.; and Ripudaman Dhillon, 32, of Texas. After an investigation,

Family members of the deceased, as well as those injured in the accident, launched a civil suit against Brar, the owner of the truck he was driving, the City of Abbotsford and ICBC. Other defendants in some of the claims included the owners of two Lefeuvre

Driver on life support Family seeks Good Samaritan Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The family of a man who crashed in the Sumas River on Thursday afternoon wants to meet the Good Samaritan who pulled him to safety. “My family wants to thank the gentleman who risked his own life to pull my dad out of the water. We are just so grateful,” said Tiffany Waardenburg, the daughter of Bryan Volden, 65. Abbotsford Police are trying to arrange a meeting with the hero, whose name has not been released. Const. Ian MacDonald said police were having difficulty reaching him yesterday. Meanwhile, Volden was in critical condition and on full life support as of press deadline yesterday afternoon. Volden was leaving McDonald Park – at the end of No. 3 Road north of Highway 1 – when his 2002 PT Cruiser veered off the roadway. He hit some wooden posts, careened across the parking lot and landed in the river. Ian MacDonald said Volden “may have suffered from medical distress,” triggering the accident. The car was more than halfway submerged in the water. A 45-year-old man on the scene smashed a window in the vehicle, pulled Volden to safety, and performed

Ian MacDonald said there have been 19 such thefts from October to February. Of those, 16 were at grocery stores and three were at retail stores. Many involve women leaving their purses in a grocery cart or on a counter, and then turning away, often because a person has distracted them. MacDonald said the thefts are inconspicuous. “In most instances, the complainant didn’t know (the item) was stolen until they noticed it missing.” Video surveillance has not yet resulted in any suspects being identified, he said. Local stores have been notified of the thefts and told to be on alert.

Travis Parker, recently the manager of Hub Sports in Abbotsford, said the store is well aware of Hanson.

The caller starts by expressing interest in an item listed for sale online or in the newspaper, such as a vehicle. He asks questions about the item, and sometimes seeks directions on where he can view it in person. Then he says he works for “Steelheader Magazine” and asks if the seller would be interested in advertising the item in his publication for a small fee. He might call back a few days later, wondering if the seller is now ready to advertise. He becomes belligerent if asked for more details. He also contacts businesses to solicit advertising.

“We have lost a great citizen,” Mayor George Peary said with the passing of Christine Lamb this week. Among many services to the community, Lamb was the first woman elected to Matsqui council, serving from 1988 to 1993. “She was one of the real bedrock supporters of the District of Matsqui, and the City of Abbotsford,” Peary said. “She was polite and gentle, but she could be fiesty when she got her teeth into something.” One of her causes was the Clearbrook Library, and on March 10 she asked Peary to come and see her at the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission. She was weak, being fed ozygen through her nose, but she visited with her old friend, and made her LAMB point that he should see to it that the lower level of the library be finished off, and used as a library. “That was just like Chris Lamb – spunky as ever, weak as she was.” Lamb dedicated her free time to volunteer work, as a director of Abbotsford Community Foundation for nine years, director of the MSA Hospital Board for nine years. Mike de Jong, Minister of Health and Abbotsford West MLA, issued a ministerial statement marking her passing: “It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Christine Lamb, a pioneer of our community in every way. The principles of honesty, humility and integrity were the hallmarks of the public service she provided to her community throughout her decades of involvement,” said de Jong.

and agreed to pay $20 to place his trailer listing in Steelheader Magazine, which he assumed was a publication. He said Hanson then texted him three times and called him twice through the day, wanting to make arrangements to receive his fee. His trailer listing appeared on the Steelheader Magazine website, but Nicholas couldn’t find the publication anywhere. He even visited Hub Sports to see if the store carried it. That’s when he discovered that it doesn’t appear to exist. Monique Duhamel of Abbotsford encountered Hanson after posting an ad on Craigslist to promote her home-based business that makes and sells Ukrainian food. She received an email from a man saying he had seen her listing and would like her to contact him. When she called, he identified himself as Terry Hanson of Steelheader Magazine, she said. He then mentioned that he runs a magazine and one of his advertisers had cancelled an ad. Duhamel could have the $325 space for $28, as long as she paid him by noon. The man walked her through the process of sending an email money transfer. A few days later, Duhamel had not heard back from him. Phone messages and emails requesting a refund were sent to him but were not returned right away, she said. Hanson told her the reason for the delay was because he had been in an accident. Duhamel said only then did her ad appear on the website. She said she was surprised because a website had not been mentioned during previous emails and phone conversations with Hanson. “I thought it was an actual magazine,” she said. After three email requests, Hanson’s lawyer asked that his client be emailed a list of questions, which was sent on March 4. Hanson did not reply to the questions as of press deadline.

‘We’ve tried to strike a balance’ Wage facts:

From A4

Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen said the increase is “a good start for the new premier,” and shows that the provincial government is listening to the public’s priorities. “This is going to really help people at the lower end of the economic spectrum,” said van Dongen, adding that a $4,000 annual increase represents “a pretty significant raise.” That will be the difference for minimum wage earners after all three increases come into effect. Van Dongen said government has consulted widely prior to the decision, and that’s why considerations were made for operators in the restaurant/bar industry. “It’s important to acknowledge that employers have costs and investment. We’ve tried to strike a balance.” Of particular interest to Abbotsford’s many farm workers, the Labour ministry will also be reviewing and setting new rates paid to those hand-harvesting berries and fruit, with an eye to bringing them into line with the minimum hourly rate.

Bradner man now in Tokyo Michael Luzia of Abbotsford has made his way to Tokyo and could be home as early as next week, his mom Susanne said yesterday. She said she was relieved to hear that the federal government will now issue emergency travel documents to enable Canadians to return home faster than going through the passport process. Luzia, who has been teaching English in Japan for the last 2 1/2 years, has been stranded in the country since the earthquake and tsunami struck on March 10. He was teaching on the small island of Izushima at the time, and his apartment in Onagawa was flattened by the tsunami.

Q When B.C.’s first increase takes affect on May 1, the province will still have the lowest minimum wage in Canada. At $8.75, it will be just under Alberta’s rate of $8.80, the Yukon at $8.93 and New Brunswick, North West Territories and Prince Edward Island, all at $9. Q When the final increase occurs on May 1, 2012, B.C.’s wage of $10.25 will be the second highest in Canada, tied with Ontario and behind Nunavet at $11. (figures based on minimum wage rates as of March 17, 2011). Q According to government statistics, only 2.3 per cent of B.C.’s workforce earns minimum wage. Of that, 53 per cent are youth living at home while 26 per cent are one member of a couple. Fourteen per cent are unattached individuals and seven per cent are single mothers. Q The service sector makes up 92 per cent of all minimum wage workers. Q More than half of minimum wage workers have been on the job for one year or less and 55 per cent will move up the wage scale in one year or less.

of pedestrians in the area; and not providing enough space for pedestrians to walk on the side of the road. The city responded in its statement of defence that the plaintiffs failed to take reasonable care for their own safety, were not wearing reflective clothing and were not walking on the shoulder of the road. Due to confidentiality terms, Simpson could not reveal whether all or some of the defendants were involved in the settlement pay-out.

FOR THE RECORD Last week, the Abbotsford News online poll asked readers “Do you support a P3 water system for Abbotsford/Mission?” In fact, the P3 system being proposed is only for the Stave Lake addition. The Norrish Creek, Cannell Lake and well water system will remain in the public domain.

QUESTION

Minimum wage

OF THE WEEK

Do you believe increasing the minimum wage will help the B.C. economy?

I don’t know how the magic number of $10.25 per hour is determined but I think it should be higher. If everybody had more money then everybody would have more opportunities ... maybe everybody should be given an unlimited amount of money and then they all would have unlimited opportunities. JohnnyCan

To answer, go to abbynews.com

About time!! Not everyone who works for minimum wage is a student. Some of us are single parents struggling to raise a family on eight bucks an hour. I’ve been reading comments all day from people saying that the economy will collapse, and that if you work a minimum wage job, then it’s your own fault for ‘making poor choices’. What judgemental, misinformed BS. ollyollyoxenfree

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Do You support a P3 water system for Abbotsford/ Mission? 126 RESPONDED:

If anything, it will increase the cost of living to those who are either on a salary or those who are on ﬁxed incomes and will then make the $10.25 low due to the increase in prices that businesses will have to charge in order to cover the cost. jayne190

All washed up with this domestic chore Andrew

Holota

On Point We’ve had some fun with man-woman roles and stereotyping here the past few weeks. One of the focus points has been on domestic chores. Many women would like to see their men do more household tasks – or in some cases, do at least one. Me, I’m a do’er. I do meals, I do dishes. I do dusting. I pretty much do it all. What I do not do is laundry, due to a particular incident several years ago. More on that later. I pause at this point to note that my daughter often follows in her dad’s footsteps. In this case, why do two or three loads when you can accomplish everything in one industrial-sized effort? Now, as proud as I am of my girl, there is a ﬂaw in that logic, as I eventually came to discover. And I recently had to explain this to my dear teen, who

had bulldozed out her bedroom, and hauled upstairs the equivalent of two moving trucks full of dirty laundry. Or, to be more accurate, what falls within her definition of dirty laundry – and that includes all articles of clothing that have been worn once, may have been worn once, or are likely to be worn once in the near future. I have yet to successfully communicate to her the labour and environmental consequences of her selection process. In any event, I was drawn to the laundry room due to the peculiar sounds of mechanical distress emanating from within. Seems the washing machine was loaded to the gagging point, and was gasping and huffing to move the vast bale of wet clothing it contained. With some mild expletives, I relieved the poor metal beast of about 50 pounds of soggy clothes, patted its porcelain flanks, and set it back to work. Then I went in search of the young perpetrator for an “educational chat.” It took me back to the grim incident which caused my wife to similarly chastise me for my laundry transgressions,

and ultimately bar me from using said equipment. In a heavy-duty cleaning ﬁt, I had noted the mountain of clothing heaped in the laundry room, bunged it all into the machine, added some soap, and left it to its own devices. It somehow slogged

Why do two or three loads when you can accomplish everything in one industrial-sized effort? itself through to the final spin cycle, and that’s when the bad news became apparent. There is a rule of laundering that says thou shalt not place women’s sweaters in with other fuzzy things, such as towels. The sweaters are magnets for stray, water-borne fibres, which adhere with fierce tenacity in the form of tiny fuzzy balls. It took me a whole night of picking off little fuzzy balls to return those

sweaters to something resembling their original condition, albeit a size or two smaller. Hmmm.... There was also the issue of the nylon tights. Turns out those don’t go into the washer either. I could certainly see why. When one machine-washes a whole bunch of tights together, they intertwine like worms in a bucket. And talk about knots! I’ve untangled some dillies of ﬁshing line snarls in my time, but nothing compared to those tights. My wife was ﬁt to be tied, so to speak. And then there was a subsequent small incident in which I got some paint on one of my good pullovers. I cleaned it off with a petroleum-based thinner, and popped it in the washer. Well, it didn’t take long for the washing machine – and the entire laundry room – to smell like the wreck of the Exxon Valdez. My wife was so hot she could have set off the fumes in that room. And that, my friends, was the end of my laundry-doing days. In retrospect, it all worked out rather well, I think.

letters Is Victoria ready for a major earthquake?

Along with the rest of the world, I watched newscasts of the scenes of destruction in Japan, following the earthquake and the tsunami last week. Then, following with more devastation, we witnessed the nuclear plant explosions, whose ultimate harm will not be known for some time.

Of course, more than usual, we on the Pacific Coast are now constantly asked “Are you ready?” and “What preparations have you made?” – because our coast is also on an earthquake fault line. Questions which I, and no doubt many other citizens would like to ask, are: “How ready are you – our

provincial government?” Also, “What preparations are you making to ensure personnel and government data is protected, and what protocol is in place for rescue operations, when your command centre is under water?” A similar question should be also asked

of all local communities as well whose areas edge rivers or other bodies of water. Even if we had more warning than the Japanese government had, there is no way our B.C. government could evacuate personnel, documents and other important objects from Vancouver Island and

get it all shifted to the Mainland before flooding would occur. There is no need to try to imagine the situation or simulate tests – one merely has to examine the film footage of reality happening in Japan, report-

edly far more ready than any other country to deal with their frequent, less severe, earthquakes. So provincial government, “Are YOU ready?” Premier Christy Clark, and all MLA’s

and parties should look carefully at the many scenes filmed in Japan and decide what they, as our provincial government, would do to ensure the safety of all people living here. Lila Rauh

How high must pump price go? When will the high price of gasoline we’re continuing to see in B.C. finally motivate a switch to cleaner, less-expensive alternatives? In the province’s urban areas, plug-in electric vehicles could easily replace a significant number of vehicles now powered by gasoline. And in rural areas, B.C.’s abundance of low-cost natural gas could potentially make a similar dent. We have the clean energy sources right here in this province to greatly reduce our transporta-

tion based carbon output and insulate ourselves to a much greater degree than we have from the economic impacts of high oil prices. We’re never going to completely eradicate the need for oil and gasoline, but we have the resources right here in B.C. to greatly reduce our dependence. The only real question is at what point will the price we pay at the pump finally motivate us to make the switch? Michael McBratney

Switch off during Earth Hour Earth Hour is upon us once again, and on Saturday, March 26 from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. over a billion people worldwide will be switching off their lights. Last year, 50 per cent of Canadians reportedly participated in Earth Hour. That’s strong evidence, I think, that Canadians are looking for action on climate change.

For even stronger evidence, look at the new poll conducted for the World Wildlife Federation which found that 84 per cent of Canadians are “as convinced or more convinced than last year that urgent

action is necessary on climate change.” Climate change is ultimately about how we produce and use energy. So switching from non-renewable to renewable energy as quickly as possible and finding ways con-

serve and use energy more efficiently are ultimately the keys to solving climate change. Something to think about for an important hour on March 26. Mike Taylor

of s nd re fe M ch ar . 31

Two men who were involved in a home invasion in Mission in 2009 were recently sentenced to jail terms. Darren Paul Deadder, 32, and Robert Francis Wright, 29, both pleaded guilty to robbery with a firearm. Deadder received a three-year prison term and Wright was sentenced to 18 months. This is in addition to the 42 months of credit they were each given for time already served. A total of five people were charged in connection with the incident that occurred on April 28, 2009. Court documents state that two men were with co-accused Ashley Lindgren, who knocked on the door of a home on Catherwood Road in a rural Mission area just after midnight. The home was occupied by a couple with a small child. The male resident answered the door and had a brief conversation with Lindgren, who did not enter the home. He closed the door, but before he could lock it, the two men burst into the residence. They were masked and wearing dark hooded jackets. One was carrying a handgun, and struck the man in the head, either with the gun or his fist. The intruders then demanded cash and valuables. One held the couple at gunpoint in the kitchen, while the other ransacked their bedroom. The two took more than $6,000 in cash, jewelry and other valuables before fleeing to a van. The couple notified police, who stopped the vehicle in another area of Mission. As the van was slowing, Wright fled the vehicle and ran away. A police dog tracked him across a creek and found him hiding beneath a trailer. He had $4,000 cash on him and jewelry which the couple later identified

“ ... the planning included knowledge that a gun would be employed and that a small child would be present.” The judge said another aggravating factor was that Deadder had been convicted in February 2009 of a separate robbery and was given one day in prison, on top of the 4 1/2 years’ credit for time already served. He gave Wright a lighter sentence, saying there was no evidence that he was “the mastermind” of the offence. Both men have been enrolled in substance abuse programs and other courses while in prison, the court was told.

Abbotsford News

was aware that cash and valuables were kept in the victims’ home, according to the court documents. Doherty went to the robbery scene in a separate vehicle and had the van follow him, the documents state. Charges were later stayed against Lindgren and Derouin. Doherty pleaded guilty in separate proceedings to robbery with a firearm and was sentenced to 18 months, in addition to 42 months’ credit for time served. Supreme Court Justice Terence Schultes said in sentencing Deadder and Doherty, he considered that the offence had been planned.

as theirs. Meanwhile, Deadder and Lindg ren remained in the van with the driver, Terence Derouin. Police found a loaded Browning 9 mm handgun with 10 rounds in its magazine, as well as another clip containing ammunition, court documents state. The van contained another $2,000 in cash and more of the victims’ jewelry. All four individuals were charged in connection to the robbery. A fifth person, Daniel Doherty, who is Deadder’s cousin, was charged for helping to plan the offence at a hotel room in Mission. He knew the sister of the female victim and

nuclear plant, where explosions or coolant failures at multiple reactors threaten to cause a meltdown. Kendall urged pharmacies not to dispense or stockpile the pills after an apparent run on them by spooked shoppers. Even if there is a major release of radiation into the atmosphere from northeast Japan, Kendall said the particles would be so widely dispersed on their five- to sixday jet stream trip to North America that it’s unlikely they could pose a health risk. “All the scenarios say that for us, because of the distance we are away, no, they would not be posing a significant health risk to British Columbians.” He cautioned against comparing Chernobyl, where the reactor fuel burned and sent large amounts of long-lasting radiation across Europe, to the Japanese reactors, which have containment facilities and are less likely to release large amounts of longlasting radioactive isotopes. Kendall said there are four federally run sites on Vancouver Island and one in the Lower Mainland that continuously sample for radiation, and data can also be drawn from other international stations in the Pacific at islands like Guam. SFU nuclear chemist Jean-Claude Brodovitch said he agrees with Kendall’s assessment of the risks, adding there is no sign of radiation reaching B.C. “We have our own equipment we monitor with and we haven’t seen anything,” he said. Although small amounts of radioactive iodine were detected in plants such as seaweed off the North American coast after Chernobyl, Brodovitch said that doesn’t equate to any significant human risk. “There could be transportation of some dust in the atmosphere,” he said. “But when it gets around the globe it’s extremely diluted. After 7,000 kilometres, it would not be a real concern.”

Youth and leaders unite

My Blunderful Life TOUR

Community issues on the table at forum

A forum in Abbotsford in May will bring together youth and community leaders to share ideas and concerns about local issues. Speak Out 2011: A Dialogue between Youth and Community Leaders takes place Tuesday, May 3 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Clearbrook Library, 32320 George Fe r g u s o n Way. Registration begins at 3 p.m. The event is hosted by the Abbotsford Youth Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (AYC) Youth Council as part of Youth Week (May 1 to 7). The idea to for young people to gain awareness of decisions made within the community, while having a chance to have their voices heard, said Bev Olfert, AYC executive director. Prior to the forum, the youth council will invite four community leaders to

meet with them at one of their regular meetings. They will be asked to share infor mation such as what their job entails, how decisions are made and what initiatives they are working on. This will enable

the teens to determine the direction of Speak Out 2011. The actual forum will be conducted in â&#x20AC;&#x153;cafe formatâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tables set up around the room, each presenting a different topic. Each table will con-

Heat sign forward, set to host ’Dogs

Hawks soar to Final Four Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

With their forward corps decimated by call-ups and injuries, the Abbotsford Heat signed Tyler Ruegsegger to a professional tryout contract on Friday morning. Ruegsegger is a first-year pro who had suited up for the ECHL’s Utah Grizzlies and the Alaska Aces this season. The 23-year-old centre posted a combined 16 goals and 13 assists in 58 games. Ruegsegger was expected to be in the Heat lineup when they opened a two-game set against the Hamilton Bulldogs on Friday evening, but that result was unavailable at press time. The two teams face off again tonight at 7 p.m. at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. Over the past week, the Heat have lost forwards Ales Kotalik and Lance Bouma (recalled by Calgary Flames), and Cam Cunning (knee injury). Additionally, Ryan Stone was unavailable for Friday’s game. He’s attending his grandfather’s funeral in Calgary. For Heat game recaps, visit abbynews.com.

Mouat point guard Josh Beasley scored six of his eight points late in the fourth quarter, helping his team beat Burnaby South in the B.C. quarter-finals.

When a father coaches his son, it tends to be a fascinating dynamic. Such was the case on Thursday evening, as the W.J. Mouat Hawks took on the heavily favoured Burnaby South Rebels in the quarter-finals of the provincial AAA boys basketball championship. With five minutes left in the fourth quarter, Hawks head coach Sean Beasley called a timeout after his son Josh, Mouat’s starting point guard, launched an ill-advised shot. Most of the Hawks’ 19-point lead had melted away under the heat of a Rebels rally, and the elder Beasley got in his son’s face, letting him know in animated fashion what he thought of that particular decision. Josh Beasley responded impressively, taking over the game down the stretch to power the Hawks to a 75-68 victory and a Final Four berth. In a four-possession sequence, Beasley scored a pair of driving layups, swished two free throws, and whipped a pretty pass to Desmond Bassi for a layup. Burnaby South had rallied to within three points, but by the end of Beasley’s spurt,

Mouat was up 67-59 with 1:54 remaining, and they cruised from there. Afterward, dad said he was extremely proud of his son. “It’s a special time,” Sean Beasley said with a smile. “I was certainly impressed with how he handled himself mentally down the stretch. He made some great plays for us. “He raised the bar.” The Hawks moved on to face Vancouver College in the semifinals on Friday evening, but that result was unavailable at press time. Mouat will play for a medal today at the Langley Events Centre. The bronze medal game tips off at 6 p.m., followed by the gold medal game at 8 p.m. In the most recent AAA boys basketball rankings in midFebruary, prior to the start of the regional playoffs, Burnaby South was No. 1, while Mouat wasn’t even mentioned among the top 20 after a pedestrian regular season. But while Mouat’s win Thursday stunned most high school hoops observers, it was hardly a surprise to the Hawks. “I wouldn’t call it an upset,” Josh Beasley asserted. “We played as a team. We’ve got a lot of individual talent, but we’ve brought it all together.”

MLS debut a thrill for Miller 2011 Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

It’s hard to wipe the smile off Colin Miller’s face these days. Just over a year ago, Miller left his dual headcoaching roles with the Abbotsford Soccer Association and the UFV Cascades women’s program in favour of an assistant coaching gig with the Vancouver Whitecaps men. It was a decision Miller termed “difficult” at the time, given his roots in the Abbotsford community. But a big part of the payoff comes today, as the Whitecaps make their Major League Soccer (MLS) debut against Toronto FC (3:30 p.m., Empire Field). “I’m at the highest level of club soccer in North America now, and it’s a privilege to be a part of it,” Miller told The News earlier this week. “I’ve worked very hard, paid my dues to get to this level, MILLER both here in Canada and in Scotland as a player and a manager. I’m very fortunate to be where I am at the moment. Every day has blue sky. “I’m really enjoying my job, no question about it.” Working under Whitecaps head coach Teitur Thordarson, Miller deals primarily with defensive matters. “There are days where we’ll split the group up and I’ll look after the back four,” he said. “That’s a tremendous compliment that Teitur trusts me to do that.” Miller believes the Whitecaps’ move from the USSF Division 2 to MLS has the potential to ignite the popularity of soccer in the province. “It is a very, very exciting time for the sport,” he said. “It takes me back to my days growing up in Vancouver, when the Whitecaps were playing in the old North American Soccer League. You can really sense the excitement building up in the city. “There’s going to be kids who will be coming through the various High Performance League teams in B.C. who will say, ‘One day, I want to play for the Whitecaps.’”

With momentum and home ice advantage on their side, the Abbotsford Hawks could be on the cusp of a special performance at the bantam Tier 1 hockey provincials. The Hawks are hosting the B.C. championship at MSA Arena, beginning on Sunday and culminating with the final at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. They’re red-hot coming in, having upset favoured Burnaby Winter Club to win

the Lower Mainland Final Four title two weeks ago. “I believe we’re peaking at the right t i m e , ” H a w k s h e a d coach Troy Campbell said. “We’ve got a lot of confidence, and c o u p l e that with hard work, and I think we’re going to be a very dangerous team come Sunday.” The Hawks are hosting a variety of fund-

raising events during the championship, including a silent auction featuring Vancouver Canucks m e m o rabilia. They’re also holding an event in conjunction with MSA Ford on Monday (10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at MSA Arena), where $20 will be donated for every participant who test-drives a vehicle. The opening ceremonies on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. will feature mem-

bers of the Abbotsford Heat, the Abbotsford Police ceremonial unit, and Canucks anthem singer Mark Donnelly. Canucks PA announcer John Ashbridge will be on hand for Wednesday’s championship game. The host Hawks open with a pair of games on Sunday. They take on Burnaby Winter Club at 10:30 a.m., and face Prince George at 8 p.m. Other teams in the draw include Kamloops, Cloverdale and Nanaimo.

Top Canadian rider Zane Lambert on the bull Courage Canada during round two of the 2010 PBR Canadian National Finals.

Cowboy congregation PBR storms into Abbotsford next weekend at the AESC

t’s boots, chaps and cowboy hats as the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Canadian Cup Series bucks into Abbotsford next weekend. The PBR is making its second appearance at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC) on Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26. The event is one of about 40 stops on a year-long circuit that will see the world’s best bull riders compete for the title. Last year’s top Canadian rider was 24-year-old Zane Lambert from Alberta. He placed second overall in the season and second at the AESC event. This year he’ll be back, gunning for ﬁrst place by

Ashley WRAY Abbotsford News

staying on each bull for eight seconds. While the arenas start to blend together for many of the riders, Lambert remembers the electricity and swell of the crowd at the AESC, and is excited to return. He’ll be well rested and raring to go, following his ﬁrst weekend off since the circuit began in January. It’s a lifestyle he’s used to by now. Lambert was introduced to rodeo as a young boy by his older sister and brothers who were involved with events like barrel racing and team roping.

At 10 years old, he tried junior steer riding and immediately fell in love with it. “What hooked me was that it was really hard and challenging and no one else I knew could do it,” he said. “I felt that accomplishment after riding, and just wanted to do it again.” He stuck with it, working his way up the rankings from amateur to semiprofessional and then professional. While he’s been riding professionally for seven years, he only made the decision to make a living out of the sport three years ago. Continued on B2

T Fades – A bull that fades during a ride moves backwards while simultaneously spinning or bucking in one or more directions T Muley- Describes a bull without horns T 70 tonnes of dirt are used for a PBR event T Over 50 bucking bulls are brought to each contest T It takes seven semi trucks to load in all of the supplies for a show T It takes a team of 30 men 36 hours of set-up time for the PBR to take place T An average PBR bucking bull weighs 1,700 to 2,000 lbs.

It was a tough transition, said Lambert, “taking that chance and not knowing if I could make it down the road.” But the most difﬁcult aspect of riding remains the preparation, both physically and mentally. Lambert trains his body to compete against the bulls by staying active and hitting the gym, but there’s no way to prepare for those unexpected injuries. To date, his worst injury has been a broken jaw when he was 18. He sat out for only two weeks and continued to ride with his jaw wired shut. No matter how prepared you are for a ride, playing mind games with yourself is inevitable, he said. It’s the mental aspect that gets to you right before a ride, he added. “Things start to eat away at you, or you start to question if you need to change your rope or spurs.” His secret to a successful ride is keeping everything clear. “Stay light and try to stretch out and feel good before you get on. It’s so fast that if you make one mistake you’re done. So you need to keep everything clear in your head.” Riding between 150 to 200 bulls a year, Lambert doesn’t get nervous anymore – he just puts it into perspective. “More people get hurt on the roads than riding bulls.” After eight events this season, Lambert is sitting in fourth place. There’s still 32 events left on the circuit. “But one weekend can easily change it,” he said. The PBR will start with round one on Friday, March 25 at 7:30 p.m., with two more rounds, including the championship showdown, on Saturday, March 26 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre, online at www.abbotsfordcentre.ca or by phone at 1-866-977-AESC.

Let Baker Newby LLP put our knowledge and experience to work for you so that you receive the compensation that you deserve.

Gregg Saretsky wants to let you in on a few secrets, five to be exact. WestJetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and CEO will be speaking on the topic of Engaging Employees: WestJetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5 Secrets to Success, when he visits Abbotsford on March 23. Saretsky is the second speaker in UFV president Mark Everedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leadership Lecture Series. WestJetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to be one of the five most successful international airlines in the world by 2016. In February WestJet posted a 2010 net income of $136.7 million, up 39.3 per cent over a $98.2 million profit in 2009, on a 14.5 per cent jump in revenue to $2.61 billion. WestJet is one of the most profitable airlines in North America and is also successful at fostering a positive corporate culture, having been named one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Most Admired Corporate Cultures in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. The airline also plays a key role in the Abbotsford economy and spurring local growth and development. The City of Abbotsford has iden-

tified aerospace-related industry as one of the key growth engines for the regional economy. Saretsky became WestJet president and CEO in April 2010 after a long career in the airline industry. As WestJet CEO Saretsky is responsible for both the strategic direction of the company and dayto-day operations of the airline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased to be partnering with the City of Abbotsford to bring such a dynamic business leader to the Fraser Valley,â&#x20AC;? said UFV president Mark Evered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created this leadership lecture series specifically to bring in high-profile speakers of interest to the general public in our communities. Everyone is encouraged to attend this free event and participate in an ongoing community dialogue with our guest speakers, students, faculty and staff.â&#x20AC;? The lecture takes place at 5 p.m. in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium. For information visit www.ufv. ca, email betsy.terpsma@ufv.ca or call 604 854-4503.

Plant strawberries now Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine a June garden without the mouth-watering flavour of strawberries, and the good news is, planted now, both the everbearing and day neutral varieties will produce fruit this year. For serious strawberry growers, however, the June bearing varieties still produce high volumes of very large flavourful fruit. Traditionally, main season strawberry varieties, planted now, will develop into good sized plants over the summer and fall, then produce great crops next year. You will get a few fruits the first year, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just a tease for the next season. The flower buds of June berries are initiated in the shorter days of autumn, then produce good crops the following June. Some of the great June bearing varieties for our area are: Hood: This variety has very large dark red cone-shaped berries on upright vigorous plants. It has great flavour and is terrific fresh and for jams. Rainier: The good sized berries of this variety maintain their size all through the season and have great flavour. Sumas: This very heavy yielding variety has lighter red berries and very good flavour. Totem: This very

hardy variety, developed at the Canada Research Station in Agassiz, is still a favourite for productivity and good sized fruit. Stolo: Newer variety with large, firm, glossy fruits which keep their size throughout the season Puget Reliance: The beauty of this variety is its generous crops of very large fruits and its reliability to produce in a wide range of growing conditions. Chandler: A huge California variety with o u t stand- Brian ing flav o u r, it does very we l l on the West Coast. Everbearing varieties have the unique ability to initiate fruit

Gardening ies will produce fruit under all day lengths and are perhaps the most productive, pro-

viding tasty berries all summer and into the fall. Another distinct advantage of the everbearing types is that they can flower and produce fruit and runners all at the same time. The runners will produce fruit even without rooting, and this unique ability makes them ideal for growing in containers, hanging baskets and other unusual garden situations.

Drainage is essential From B9

They will also provide good quality fruit the first year. Some of the top everbearing varieties are: Fort Laramie: This variety is noted for its vast runner production and is often sold as a climbing variety. It has good-sized, very flavourful fruit. Quinault: Still one of the best everbearing varieties, it has good sized, very flavourful fruit. Some top day neutral varieties are: Tristar: This variety is still one of the most popular day neutrals. It has medium sized flavourful berries and is very disease tolerant. Seascape: This is a new introduction with high quality and flavourful fruits that are red all the way through. Albion: A new variety with long conical fruits having excellent

flavour and producing a constant supply of berries throughout the summer. Eversweet: The medium to large sized berries of this variety are noted for their high sugar content. For the best results, all strawberries need a sunny location and good drainage. Growing them in raised beds or hilled rows creates not only good drainage but also warmer soil. They love moisture, but it must drain away quickly to prevent root rot. Although slightly acid-loving, working well rotted manures into the soil will help get strawberry plants off to a good start. When setting out the plants, it is very important to plant them to a depth that just covers the roots but not the stem.
