New Business OF THE YEAR AWARD

Sponsored by

KPMG ENTERPRISE

The New Business of the Year Award is granted to a “new business” established within the last 3 years, that has demonstrated outstanding characteristics in all areas such as performance, leadership, innovation, management, marketing and service.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OTHER NOMINEES IN THIS CATEGORY:

Rudy Paxian, Associate Partner with KPMG presents the award for New Business of the Year to Charlotte and Rob Lepp of Lepp Farm Market.

And the award goes to…

LEPP FARM MARKET

The green corn shack remains, by popular demand. But it’s the Lepps’ new store next door that has earned special recognition. The Lepp Farm Market was named New Business of the Year at the 15th Abbotsford Business Excellence Awards. “We were humbled that we were nominated to start with, so to win it, we were just elated,” said Rob Lepp, who runs the operation with his wife Charlotte. The Lepps opened their 1,300-sqmetre (14,000-sq-foot) store one year ago on the corner of their farm, at Clayburn Road and the AbbotsfordMission Highway, on the same spot they’ve had a small corn stand for 15 years. The dream to evolve the stand into a full-blown store with a genuine farmers’-market feel began about nine years ago, he said. The little green shack is still up to sell corn because many of their long-term customers kept asking for it, Charlotte Lepp said. “We tell them it’s the exact same corn that’s inside the

market, but they say it just tastes better,” Charlotte said with a laugh. Still there’s been no shortage of interest of what’s inside the new market, which sells a wide range of meat, fruit and vegetables as well as featuring a deli and bakery. The Lepps have had to increase their staff from 25 at opening to more than 40 full- and part-time employees now to keep up with the demand. In April they acquired a multi-fruit orchard in Osoyoos to supply their market with Okanagan fruit. Most of the rest of their produce though, is locally grown. The Lepps credit their staff for much of their success. “The dream doesn’t get realized without an incredible staff and amazing support from the community,” Charlotte Lepp said. “We couldn’t do this by ourselves.”

Residents oppose fire hall Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

Plans to build a new fire hall on Blueridge Drive is generating a lot of heat in the neighbourhood. Residents spoke out against the project during a public hearing on Monday night, with the main concerns being noise and speeding emergency vehicles. Local resident Bruno Best explained that people are in favour of the new hall, but the location is troubling. He noted Abbotsford’s “other seven fire halls have been placed strategically,” but this location makes no sense to him. Best offered seven alternative sites, all in the Blueridge area, that he says would have less impact.

JOHN VAN PUTTEN FILE PHOTO Abbotsford News

Bruno Best opposes the city’s plan to build a new fire hall in a residential neighbourhood on Blueridge Drive. His presentation received cheers from the crowd as individual residents reiterated the same arguments. The proposed fire hall would be located at 30939 Blueridge Drive, a small piece of land currently

being used as park space. Across the street from the hall is Slater Ridge Estates, a townhome complex. Stewart Kennedy, chairman of the Slater Ridge council, submitted a petition against the hall, and

several residents also spoke. “This isn’t an example of NIMBYism (Not In My Backyard) – it’s not,” said resident Michael Horn, who suggested not enough consideration has been given to other sites. “Just because we have some fire halls in residential areas, doesn’t mean it’s a good thing and that we should do it again,” he said. This is not the first time a building project has raised the ire of local residents. Neal Diamond has lived in the area for the past 12 years and told council the fire hall is just another issue homeowners have to deal with. He pointed to the new Continued on A6

Drivers should be more aware of their surroundings, including always checking both directions when they are making turns, Miller added. The City of Abbotsford has partnered with ICBC to produce an awareness campaign called DARK (Driver Awareness Really worKs), which will be posted on the city website. “Enforcement will be vigorous and we intend to drive the (pedestrian accident) numbers down. The carnage has to stop,” said Mayor George Peary. ICBC will provide free reflective bracelets for pedestrians. Miller said they should be available starting next week at the community police office located at 34194 Marshall Rd.

NewsBytes FOURTH TERM FOR SCHAFER Cindy Schafer has been reelected to her fourth term as chair of the Abbotsford board of education, while Korky Neufeld has retained his position of vicechair for his second term.

Villagers fear more flooding Clayburn residents protest development Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

A 65-home construction project slated for Sumas Mountain Road has residents of Clayburn Village worried about flooding. The development, planned for 4633 Sumas Mountain Road, would be located in the Clayburn Creek watershed. A watershed is defined as the entire drainage area that flows to the lowest point at a single location. “Clayburn Creek has flooded on six occasions in the seven years I’ve lived there,” Neil Carson told Abbotsford council during Monday night’s public hearing. Carson and several other speakers asked council why it was considering this project before the results of the Integrated Stormwater Management Plan (ISMP) for the Clayburn Creek Watershed were released.

“Consider the long-term impact ... we need that information,” said Justin Ellis. The Clayburn ISMP is not scheduled to be released until late spring or early summer of 2011. According to the city website, “the purpose of the study is to develop a watershed plan that enhances flood and environmental protection while facilitating orderly development and redevelopment in the upland areas.” Carson Noftle, of Noftle Land Strategies Ltd. was on hand to defend the project. He maintained the “relatively small” project would not have an effect on the creek and that drainage concerns are included in the plans. “We would not want to see this development delayed any further,” said Noftle. However, most of the speakers voiced objections, some even suggesting council didn’t care if Clayburn floods. John Fooks, a resident of Clayburn Village for more than 60 years, said the city did put up a sign indicating the road floods.

Tourism still thriving Breakfast meeting showcases successful year Kevin MILLS

Clayburn Village Store invites you... Come and enjoy Christmas in the Village around the

Abbotsford News

Abbotsford’s movers and shakers came out in full force Wednesday morning for the seventh annual Tradex and Tourism Abbotsford Christmas Breakfast. “The community has changed radically in the past eight years and it changes day by day,” Dan Stefanson, executive director of Tourism Abbotsford, told the crowd, adding Tourism Abbotsford is changing along with it. The three key aspects of Tourism Abbotsford are visitor services, destination marketing and Tradex. Vali Marling, director of operations for Tradex, said its mandate is to “generate economic impact in Abbotsford” and 2010 had a $55-million impact on the community. ‘We had a good year,” she said. In fact, in the past 20 years, Tradex has seen five million people pass through the doors. Yvonne Hayden, visitor services manager, told the crowd that the two visitor centres (on DeLair Road and at the Abbotsford Airport) has 22,500 combined visitors, answered 3,000 telephone calls, prepared 5,000 information packages for visiting groups and recorded $30,000 in retail sales. “Those sales were partly due to the Olympics,” explained Hayden. The Olympics played a big role in the final presentation. Allison Longshore, director of sales and marketing, said 28,100 people came out to watch the Russian figure skating and Japanese speed skating teams train in Abbotsford, giving the community “international exposure” like never before. Key performance indicators included $11.7 million in accommodation revenue this year and 224,873 unique website visitors. During the morning celebration, Tourism

More than 20,000 people came out to watch Disney On Ice as the show came to Abbotsford for the first time. Thousands of kids and adults alike took in the showcase. In all, six performances took place from Dec. 3-5. “It’s so nice to have all those kids in here, screaming. It gave me goose bumps,” said Trey Bell general manager of the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS - Thursday, December 9, 2010

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

Paying attention The Abbotsford Police Department, ICBC and the City of Abbotsford held a media brieﬁng yesterday in an odd location – on the side of the road at George Ferguson Way and Tims Street. A well-marked crosswalk is located there, but not everyone stopped for the pedestrian who travelled across several times to test drivers’ reactions as police stood by. A few cars failed to even slow down, and one narrowly missed the pedestrian, not even turning her head towards him as she drove past. It was a dramatic way to deliver the message that more attention needs to be paid to pedestrian safety. This is in light of an increase in vehicle-related fatalities in Abbotsford – 14 this year, compared to six in all of 2009 – that included eight pedestrians, one longboarder and one cyclist. The test was conducted while the

sun was out and the road was dry. Imagine what can happen on a dark rainy night, Const. Ian MacDonald pointed out. The responsibility goes both ways. Drivers must ensure they are paying attention to their surroundings. When they see a crosswalk, they should slow down and scan the area for people waiting to cross. Check both ways when making turns. Look behind before backing out of a parking spot. Pedestrians should cross at marked intersections whenever possible, wear light-coloured clothing or reﬂective gear at night, and not assume they are easily visible in a car’s headlights. These accidents are preventable, and the numbers need to go down in 2011. Too many lives have already been lost.

The NDP as a Monty Python sketch Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views In their classic movie Life of Brian, the British comedy troupe Monty Python spoofs a crumbling Roman Empire and its disorganized enemies. Among those foes is the People’s Front for Judea, determined to bring the empire down and free its victims. Alas, it finds itself locked in a bitter rivalry with a splinter group calling itself the Judean People’s Front. The huddling, oppressed Judeans themselves aren’t much helped by their constant, pointless in-fighting. The resemblance to today’s B.C. political scene is striking. Emperor Gordon the Green is marking his final days. Plotters in his own Senate have sheathed their knives only now that he has agreed to speed his chariot to the exit. His taxes have so enraged the peasantry, there are fears that only his Convention Coliseum and Great Road to Whistler will be left to mark his reign.

And what does the opposition do, even as the torches and pitchforks of a people’s militia clear a broad path to the throne? It ﬁnds itself locked in a bitter dispute with a 13-member splinter group – perhaps they should call themselves the Newer Democratic Party. The rebels got their wish Monday, as Carole James resigned as leader. The question is, now what? The Baker’s Dozen, a default label for these rebels, were united by one notion. James must make way for a leadership contest against no declared rival, as soon as possible, because she has no compelling ideas. I’ve been trying to point this out for years. “Innovative ideas are what the NDP needs now,” this column declared in December 2006, when the ﬁrst rumblings about James’ leadership were surfacing. At that point, the NDP’s health care focus was exploiting the grief of seniors forced into separate care homes by their divergent medical needs. Two years later, the NDP would denounce B.C.’s innovative carbon tax. This was not driven by any substantive logic, a fact that was demonstrated when they dropped their objections after the

2009 election. The common thread with the separated seniors and the carbon tax is that these were merely tactics. See something unpopular and oppose it. The same empty tactics have guided the NDP through the drama over the harmonized sales tax. They still haven’t said clearly what they would do with it.

The NDP still looks like a front group for public-sector unions and not much else. Events have moved faster than their ability to formulate even the beginnings of an actual plan. I spent some time this weekend on the NDP’s policy development website, called Our Province Our Future. Did you know that this major initiative was launched this past spring? Didn’t think so.

There are impressive studies about topics like the volatility of commodity markets. B.C. has started making serious inroads into the Chinese lumber market, driven by aggressive government promotion programs. What has the NDP done? Opposed it, claiming all we can do is sell low-grade lumber at a loss. What’s the NDP’s latest wood product idea? Our Province Our Future has a discussion paper that ends with a series of important questions, such as “What can be done to generate a shift toward high value-added production?” There are lots of questions, but I didn’t ﬁnd any answers. The Baker’s Dozen split with James began with the expulsion of Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson. His crime was to say that seven years into her leadership, James offers few ideas. Gordon Campbell’s problem was having too many ideas. His record for cabinet reorganizations alone should stand for all time. The NDP still looks like a front group for public sector unions and not much else. tﬂetcher@blackpress.ca

A special Christmas gift

I am just a teacher and apparently I am one of the 100 most influential people in Abbotsford for 2010. I’m not sure who to thank, but thanks! This is a wonderful surprise. In the midst of Christmas concert practices, planning for my school’s closure and life in general, I have been given this moment to pause and realize that people have taken the time to mention me in this year’s vote for Abbotsford’s influential people.

As I reflect on this, I realize that I am only on this list because of the amazing teachers, children, parents and support staff that I get to work with every day. Dunach, my very precious school, is a place where every child, and adult, is important, including me. That is a Christmas gift that surpasses the rest. I am honoured, humbled and absolutely thrilled to be on the top 100 list. How cool that another Dunach

teacher is on that same list. In reality, they should all be. So to the unknown people who think I am influential, thank you, and may we all be a positive and joyful influence on the people we know. Laura Menagh Editor’s note: A full list of the 100 nominees was published by The News in its Business Excellence Awards supplement Dec. 7. The list can be viewed on facebook.com/myabbynews

Reaching out to individuals The account “A special gift for Angie” (The News, Dec. 4) is a welcome reminder of what can be accomplished when individuals, community organizations, and government programs work together. By pooling their resources and experience, Linda and John Driediger of the Sevenoaks Alliance Church, MCC, and the governmentfunded Solace House were able to do something that governments at any level generally find almost impossible to do on their own. They enabled Angie to achieve a miracle. I occasionally read letters to the editor expressing the view that churches are a financial drain on society. I feel this is unfortunate because we have significant social challenges in our community, and governments simply do not have the funds or the ability to deal with all of them. Also, whenever governments act on our behalf, there is a cost to us. I rather doubt

that the counselling and support provided by the Driedigers cost taxpayers a single dollar. And the furniture supplied by MCC didn’t cost us either. Whether it is a church, temple, synagogue or mosque, an organization like the Sally Ann or Community Services, or a service club such as the Lions, Rotarians, Kinsmen, Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus, etc. we are fortunate to have people in our midst, quietly reaching out to individuals who “slip between the boards” of government services. Almost without exception, their efforts are prompted by a sincere desire to lift people up from the dreariness of failure and poverty. They deserve our encouragement and support. I wish them, and Angie, a very Merry Christmas. Art Martens

Don’t be a herald of ‘grinchness’ Re: Andrew Holota column, Dec. 4. I was saddened and somewhat upset that our dear editor had to put a damper on the spirit and music of Christmas. I believe there are many positive benefits of our Christmas music at this season. Think of the magnificent pieces of music, especially the Messiah, that are rendered during this season. Crowds of people will go and appreciate Christmas carol concerts like the recent Fountainview

Academy performance in our town, the packed Chan Centre in Vancouver to hear the TWU choirs and orchestra, plus our

own upcoming events under the direction of Dr. Calvin Dyck. Please don’t be a herald of “grinchness.” The editor is entitled

to his opinion, but I saw no good coming out of this article. Peace to all. A. Peters Brought to you by

October building permit values down Year-to-date numbers up from last year Building permit values in the Abbotsford region declined in October from September 2010, according to the Vancouver Regional Construction Association. Seasonally adjusted total permit values in the Abbotsford region fell 45 per cent in October compared to September, to $10.8 million. Nonresidential permit values dropped 56 per cent to $5.6 million from $12.8 million, while the value of residential permits decreased 24 per cent to $5.2 million from $6.9 million in September. Keith Sashaw, president of the Vancouver Regional Construction Association, pointed out, “Commercial permits in October were down from September’s high, but at the second highest level this year.” Sashaw added residential permits issued in October were at a low level, but were up on a year-to-date basis in 2010 compared to 2009. Total building permit values in the Abbotsford region are up to $128.3 million in the first 10 months of 2010 compared to $122.3 million in the same period last year. The rise is led by a 31 per cent increase in residential permits year-to-date. “Comparisons to last year remain highly

favourable since permits were at recession lows, but that comparison will likely continue to shrink with each month in the rest of the year if residential building continues an upward trend in 2010.” Total building permit values in the Lower Mainland-Southwest region climbed 17 per cent in October compared to September, to $887.2 million. Non-residential permit values surged to $272.1 million, up 77 per cent for the month, while the value of residential permits edged up two per cent to $615.1 million. Within the non-residential category, institutional-government permits rebounded to $98.2 million from $6.9 million in September. The outlook for 2011 is generally positive, but mixed with the looming decline in public construction, says VRCA. Commercial and industrial construction should post some gains while the residential leads the way. Credit conditions for private non-residential investment spending should also improve in 2011 along with commercial market conditions leading to more private sector investment.

Raw milk farmer in contempt of court

Jeff NAGEL Black Press

The former operator of a Chilliwack-based cow-sharing co-op has been found in contempt

of court for illegally distributing raw milk but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected to be punished. Alice Jongerden of Home On The Range dairy â&#x20AC;&#x153;willfully dis-

obeyedâ&#x20AC;? a March 2010 court order barring her from making raw milk available to cowshare members, a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled Dec. 2.

=I<< 8 G G<K@Q<I n`k_ \m\ip leniXgg\[

But because Jongerden left the business this fall, turning the cows over to new operator Michael Schmidt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a raw milk activist farmer from Ontario â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be penalized. Schmidt, operating under the name Our Cows, says he intends to market the unpasteurized dairy products

for cosmetic purposes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect us at all,â&#x20AC;? said Schmidt, who denies drinkable milk will still flow to members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a whole cosmetic line of Cleopatra bathing milk, facial mask, body lotion and stuff like that.â&#x20AC;? Health officials arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet convinced that will be the case.

Jongerden tried to skirt B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law banning the sale or distribution of unpasteurized milk by simply slapping on â&#x20AC;&#x153;not for human consumptionâ&#x20AC;? labels. Justice Nathan Smith ruled Jongerden must have known her clients would disregard the label and continue to drink the milk as they had before.

Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe said health officers intend to wait 30 days to ensure Jongerden doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appeal the decision and then take a close look at Schmidtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation. Thorpe said Fraser Health has also asked Health Canada, which regulates cosmetic products, to examine Our Cows. Unpasteurized raw milk is defined as a health hazard in B.C. Justice Smith ruled the prohibition on distributing raw milk is â&#x20AC;&#x153;absoluteâ&#x20AC;? and that simply warning consumers not to drink it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not for the court to consider the merits of the public policy or the science on which that legislation is based,â&#x20AC;? he found. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ms. Jongerden may favour a system that permits the distribution of raw milk with appropriate health warnings, as is the case with certain other products deemed to be hazardous, but that is not what the present legislation provides.â&#x20AC;?

Have a Rice Day An event that encourages people to substitute one of their meals with a bowl of rice will raise funds to help fight local and global hunger. Have a Rice Day takes place Friday, Dec. 10 and involves the public purchasing a button pin for $5 to support Abbotsford’s Hunger Response International (HRI). Having a meal of only rice will help participants identify with people around the world who don’t have enough food to eat, says HRI director Lorri Sawatsky. HRI funds initiatives such as the Rice Raiser campaign, which

collects rice and other food items for local needs, as well as funds to help feed people around the world.

1,000 kids â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go to workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; On-the-job experience with a family member or friend was at the heart of the annual Take Our Kids to Work program, held in early November. More than 200,000 grade 9 students across Canada experienced a day in the life of an adult at work, as part of the 16th annual Take Our Kids To Work Day program, which enables parents, teachers and employers to play an important role in the career development of young Canadians. The program is The Learning Partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship initiative and one of its most popular programs, connecting Grade 9 students with the world of work in thousands of businesses and organizations across Canada. In the Abbotsford School District, this year saw the largest participation rate ever, with approximately 1,000 grade 9 students participating from all of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary schools. Local employers partnered with the school district to make this a meaningful exercise in career exploration. Students spent the day shadowing a parent, friend, or relative and experience firsthand the many opportunities and challenges that each job entails. Each student submitted a report following the work experience. To encourage students to participate, a prize draw was held. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Take Our Kids to Workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day draw winner of an HP Netbook Computer was Surpreet Dhami from Rick Hansen secondary. Surpreet shadowed her mother in her job with the bakery at the Real Canadian Superstore.

Yale’s smallish lineup struggled to contain the much taller Tamanawis squad. “They’re big, they played hard, and we didn’t,” Lions coach Al Friesen analyzed. “Our seniors didn’t work hard enough, so I sat them for most of the game. Tamanawis is a good team, and we need to learn to play against superior size and strength.” Winning the tournament vaulted Tamanawis into the provincial AAA rankings at No. 8, while the Lions fell from No. 10 to honourable mention.

Cardinals to build indoor batting facility

Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Cardinals baseball club is spearheading the construction of a new indoor batting centre at DeLair Park. The 4,000-squarefoot structure will replace the existing outdoor batting cage at the DeLair Road ball diamond. The local B.C. Premier Baseball League club has offered to cover

all costs associated with construction and operation of the facility, and the proposal was passed by Abbotsford city council on Monday. “It’s something that was long overdue,” said Rob Koslowsky, a member of the Cardinals’ steering committee. “Our biggest concern with the existing batting cages

are, they can’t be used year-round. The Premier League has turned into more of a year-round sport, especially for the senior high kids, and we needed a place w h e r e they could practice.” The Cardinals had used the AgRec show barn as their winter training home, but that location was less than ideal because the club had to

haul all its equipment out each weekend to make way for the flea market. The new facility, Koslowsky said, will be made available for lease by other local clubs, like the Yale Secondary baseball academy and Abbotsford Minor Baseball. Construction is expected to take two and a half months, and will commence in the new year.

Doerksen honoured by CIS Abbotsford native Jacob Doerksen has been named male athlete of the week by both the Canada West conference and Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS). Doerksen, who plays basketball for Trinity Western University, set a school record with 42 points in the Spartans’ 114-89 victory over the UFV Cascades. The fifth-year forward is among the national leaders in scoring (fourth, 22.3 points per game), field goal percentage (second, 66.8) and rebounding (10th, 7.8 per game).

FALCONS FALL IN FINAL The Abbotsford Falcons ran into a buzzsaw in the B.C. atom football final, dropping a 42-0 decision to the Westside Warriors at Langley’s McLeod Stadium on Sunday. The Falcons struggled to contain the Warriors’ rushing attack, but the result did little to take the shine off a terrific season for the Valley Community Football

Sports in Brief

League champs, who finished with a 12-1 record. “Going into the season, we didn’t expect much – we had just six returning players out of 26,” Falcons coach David Smith said. “But we got a good start, and we kept it rolling.” Falcons standouts on Sunday included Zachary Langfield, Jeff Vanderwerff, Gavin Smith and Tristan Campbell.

CASCADES RANKED The University of the Fraser Valley men’s golf team is ranked No. 6 in the inaugural coach’s poll released Wednesday by the Golf Coaches Association of Canada.

Heat forward Logan MacMillan leans into a wrist shot during Tuesday’s game against the Lake Erie Monsters. The Heat continue their homestand with a Friday-Saturday set against the Chicago Wolves. JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News

Power play progressing: Playfair From A25

Stoa exchanged goals in the second period. In the shootout, Rissmiller was the lone Lake Erie shooter to solve Heat goalie Leland Irving, while Greg Nemisz and Matt Keith scored on Grahame to seal the victory. The Heat had a 6-1 edge in power plays but failed to cash in on any of those chances, including a pair of extended two-man advantages. Heat head coach Jim Playfair felt his team could have done a better job screening Grahame, particularly on the five-onthree advantages. But he also noted his team generated four power play goals last Friday against the Toronto Marlies, and had plenty of good looks at the Lake Erie net on Tuesday. “What we’re trying to get accomplished was there,” he

said. “What I have keep reminding myself is, they’re young kids and they’re trying to figure it out at a high pace.” Say this for the Heat – they’re certainly giving their fans their money’s worth. Four of the last five games at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre have gone to the shootout, and the Heat have won all four of those. Overall, they’re 5-3 in the skills competition. The Heat (13-11-0-3, 29 points) moved head of the Manitoba Moose into sole possession of fourth place in the AHL’s North Division, while Lake Erie (12-9-2-4, 30 points) hung onto third place by virtue of the single point. ICE CHIPS: Q Irving was sporting a brand spanking new goalie mask on Tuesday. The de-

sign is an homage to former Vancouver Canucks keeper Kirk McLean, one of Irving’s idols growing up. The new mask mimics McLean’s classic headgear, with V-shaped stripes running from temples to chin and dragons painted on either side. The red-blackwhite colour scheme is the main difference – McLean’s was orange-black-white. “It just came in this morning,” Irving said with a grin. “It was over in Sweden being painted, and it was a long time coming. I was pretty excited to see it.” Q The Heat and Monsters renewed hostilities on Wednesday, but that result was unavailable at press time. Abbotsford continues its homestand with a FridaySaturday set against the Chicago Wolves.

Sales show consumer confidence Sales of Fraser Valley real estate show that buyers are optimistic about the future, says the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. For the fifth consecutive month, sales processed on the board’s Multiple Listing Service (MLS) have remained stable, with November’s figures showing a modest increase over October. “Consumers are responding to how prices have moderated in the last six months, in addition to the double dip in mortgage rates,” said Deanna Horn, board president. “Buyers are optimistic because of the improved economic conditions, which is why we’re seeing consistency in home sales in the Fraser Valley.” A total of 1,084 sales were processed on the board’s MLS in November, an increase of seven per cent compared to 1,014 sales in October and a decrease of 29 per cent compared to 1,522 sales in November of last year. The board received the fewest number of new listings this year to date with 1,773 new properties coming on stream in November. That was a 17 per cent decrease from October, and a 15 per cent decrease compared to November 2009.

Charles Wiebe

The board finished November with 9,049 active listings, five per cent fewer than in October and an increase of nine per cent compared to the 8,334 properties available in November 2009. “It’s not unusual to see a dip in new listings at this time of year, however the level of home buying interest, in particular for homes priced competitively, is stronger than we expected given we’re approaching the holiday season,” said Horn. “That combination continues to have a stabilizing effect on home prices in the Fraser Valley.” The benchmark price for Fraser Valley detached homes in November was $504,848, down 0.2 per cent compared to October and 1.4 per cent higher compared to $497,697 in November 2009. The benchmark price of Fraser Valley townhouses in November was $319,623, a 0.2 per cent increase compared to October and a 1.2 per cent increase compared to November 2009 when it was $315,890. Year-over-year, the benchmark price of apartments increased 2.7 per cent going from $235,842 in November 2009 to $242,276 last month and 0.7 per cent higher compared to October 2010.

Well folks, I originally started selling farms and ranches many years ago, in 1979, and was lucky to be joined by my son for the last 14 years. We do all kinds of farms! We know them and it is our love to see agriculture continue, wether it is in the valley or the 100 Mile House Area. Having lived on a farm our whole life with a strong University background in agriculture we get the job done. We offer the best of advertising, pictorial promotions, websites, and overseas promotions. We try to keep in touch with the latest municipal, provincial, and federal changes, which will encourage the new farmer starting out.

After 14 years with the same company we have decided that it was time for a change. When things are going along status quo it is time to challenge yourself and move outside of your comfort zone, so we made a switch. You can now ﬁnd us under the big balloon banner. We are with Re/Max Little Oak on Bourquin Crescent across from Sevenoaks. Our slogan remains the same, “Our Family Serving Yours”. We are full service Realtors who offer you our full attention and understanding. Please give us a call when you, or someone you know, is thinking of making a move.

I coordinate schedules with my wife, an RN, and balance my satisfying and rewarding real estate career with raising our three school-aged daughters and enjoying involvement in our church. I am honoured that so many individuals and families have included me in their busy lives and chosen me to guide them through the intricate process of buying or selling properties. My goal is to continue building my business using the latest technology and the personal touch, with the highest levels of integrity and professionalism.

The many new varieties and colours produced each year keep them at the forefront as a Christmas season plant. In the Northern Hemisphere, however, they are a very long crop for growers and require a great deal of labour and energy to produce. A huge amount of research and breeding work has been done to develop new varieties that can not only finish in cooler temperatures, but also be more durable to survive both indoors and out. For years now, I’ve been on a quest to find alternate cool season plants that could be an alternate to poinsettias and still have a connection to many of our Christmas traditions. The Christmas Rose, helleborus niger, is certainly one of the top candidates. Over the past few years, greenhouse growers have been refining their production timing and forcing them into bloom at slightly higher temperatures in order to have those beautiful helleborus

blossoms open for the month of December. In zones 6 and above this works well as an outdoor garden or patio container plant, but in zones 5 and lower they need more protection. The challenge is to find a room cool enough for them to last indoors. In Europe, winter blooming hellebores have been very much a traditional Christmas gift for some time now. The Heuger family has been at the forefront of new breeding to develop better early winter blooming varieties that could be enjoyed over the holiday

The Christmas Rose is a top alternate to the poinsettia.

season. The concept was to develop a series of plants that would naturally bloom in progression from November through March. If they were gently forced into bloom at slightly higher temperatures, they could provide a long lasting flowering plant that could be enjoyed indoors then set back out into the garden to be enjoyed for many years to come. Out of this research came the “Helleborus Gold Collection” which displayed many new characteristics. This collection all bloomed on first year plants if they were started at the right time. Second, they provided lots of blooms that produced over a long period of time, and third, the blossoms were all forward facing for a far more striking appearance. Some of the first varieties have now been on the market for a year or so, with many more about to be introduced this winter and next spring. Helleborus niger ‘Jacob’ (zone 4) has pure white flowers with a slight pink blush in cooler weather. I love their deep burgundy stems and the blossoms have a faint perfume, which makes them ideal as cut flowers. It is one of the earliest blooming hellebores and has the traditional glossy deep Continued on A33

JOURNEYS

Inside My job: The clean comic (From left) John Wen, 15, Wendy Wen, 20, Mother San Mei Liu and Emily Wen, 20, are new to Abbotsford.

JOURNEYS

Making a home by the mountains A family from China is Reunited Chelsea HAEBER Contributor

The Wen family arrived in Canada in January 2010, 24 hours after they said goodbye to their home in Zhuhai, China for the last time. They had boarded a vessel which took them across an inlet into the busy port of Hong Kong. The family of four, San Mei Liu and daughters Wendy, 20, Emily,18, and son John, 15, waited seven hours for their delayed plane, daring not to leave the airport in case they missed

their one-way flight. After 13 hours in the air, the family was reunited with Ma Bao Nghiem – the children’s stepfather – in Abbotsford. The family members, who speak Mandarin and Cantonese, struggle with English, making simple things like watching television difficult. Yet, at first glance, the family looks as if they’ve have been here since birth – their casual attire portraying an adjustment into Canadian culture. That’s been more difficult than appearances suggest, however.

Vivian Jin, an employee at the Abbotsford Community Center, has helped the family adapt to their new lifestyles. As Jin explained how much they like Abbotsford, each nodded in consensus. ”The air is fresh here,” Emily says excitedly. Zhuhai is a developing city and the rapid growth generates plenty of air pollution, Liu explains. The family is fond of the parks in Abbotsford, walking local trails frequently. Emily is quick to describe

the time she went fishing with her new friends – her dark eyes widening as she throws out her arms to demonstrate the size of the catch. Emily and John attend Yale Secondary and were pleased when they found out about the shorter hours – school in China begins at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. (with a twohour break). Liu and eldest, Wendy, study English as a Second Language. Despite the challenges, the family is glad to be reunited and is moving forward with into a new life.

What’s your favourite thing about Abbotsford? I love the feeling of being in a city and the country all at once!

Happy Holidays! Banana Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding 4 ripe bananas 1 cup brown sugar 1 tsp ground nutmeg 3 eggs ½ cup chocolate chips 1 loaf white bread 1 cup 2% milk

Jody Sigurdson Owner, Chef

Pre-set oven to 350 degrees. With a knife dice white bread about ½ inch thick – place in large mixing bowl. Mash your ripe bananas (over ripened are better) – add to bowl. Add the chocolate chips, sugar & nutmeg. Whisk eggs with milk - add to bowl. Gently mix with clean hands, as to not break up the bread too much. Mixture should be very moist, but not soggy. Transfer to a greased baking pan or non-stick pan. Cover with tinfoil (if you feel that the mix is a little too dry, add milk 1 Tbsp at a time. If you feel mix is too wet, add more bread). Bake in oven for 34-40 minutes. Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream or Whipped Cream.

4 B WALK IN MY SHOES

>> Thursday, December 9, 2010

The clean comic Local funny man takes his jokes across North America Clean, Christian comedy doesn’t have to be stuffy. That’s the belief of local comedian Leland Klassen. Some people still hassle him – particularly in dingy Saskatchewan bars – and put him “in a box” for his comedy style. But it doesn’t bother him. And it doesn’t seem to trouble the majority of North Americans either – Klassen spends three to four weekends of the month on the road performing. His schedule sees him working, usually out of town, from Friday to Sunday, allowing him to be at home with his family during the week. Klassen started his comedy career about 13 years ago in Saskatchewan, right after he got married. “I just wanted to get out of the house,” he jokes. He was doing gigs at clubs wherever he could get on stage, eventually making the transition to TV when he moved to B.C. in 2001. Klassen was a host on chan-

nel 10 and went on to work with the CBC and the comedy show Just For Laughs. Now he has the freedom to pick and choose his projects and performances, and has incorporated more churches, community centres and theatres into his schedule. According to Klassen, Abbotsford is the perfect location for his job. It provides easy access to airports and is close enough to drive to some shows. While at home, he jots down notes and observations to include in his sketches, but he never sits down specifically to write his act. That would be “too stifling.” Instead, he uses material inspired by his kids and everyday life. At home, he’s also busy writing scripts and pitching show ideas to producers. While he loves the energy of a live comedy set, he’s hoping to break into the movie world. “I want to live the scaled-back Hollywood dream.”

glamour Holiday

Nothing says classic glamour than the little black dress. It’s sleek and sophisticated, and ready to be glitzed up or dressed down according to the occasion. A jeweled neckline adds the perfect touch for any festive gathering. Black can also be adorned with animal print accents or threads of silver for something extra-special. It can also be the basis for some lacy undergarments that make a feminine foundation to any outfit.

Follow tips to ensure right selection Statistics show that clothing purchases and accessories top the list of the most popular gifts for the holidays, garnering 58 per cent of the share. Here are some tips to help with your selection: Q: What trends are in style for 2011? A: There are many different interpretations of styles continuing through the winter, which began in fall. Lace rufﬂes and bows have taken on a multiple season lifespan along with bold hardware and ﬁnishings (pearls). Women’s fashion has been inspired by 1960s-era jackets and mixed prints. Q: Are certain colours “in” this season? A: For colours, dainty neutral and citrus brights compete for the most popular trend. This season’s colours also consist of “modern metallic” and neutrals. Pale blue and bold reds are two other must-have colours for this season. Q: What clothing items should gift-givers lean toward when holiday gifting? A: Stay classic and basic for giving gifts during the holidays, especially when it comes to clothing. In general, most women have their own sense of style and can be intimidated when given something too “avant garde” or fashion-forward. A good option is a basic black jacket with great trim detail or textural patterns.

Q: What should shoppers keep in mind when choosing clothing for gift recipients? A: When buying clothing, try to have a good understanding of the person’s body shape so that you can really pick out a piece that accents his or her style and keeps the person feeling great. Q: What clothes are good for thin figures, full figures? A: Many people have the misconception that thin individuals are able to wear almost anything. It actually can be difficult to find the perfect styles for thin figures. Slim figures look good in ruffles and accents. A cinched waist and bold contrast looks great on this body type, too. Having a full figure doesn’t mean a person can’t wear fashion; it just means they should wear fashions that flatter their assets. A boat neck and shoulder pads can help keep the upper body proportioned. The mix of silks and knit suiting together are also great for this body type. Q: How can gift-givers shop designer without spending a fortune? A: Get basics and build, such as valuable, timeless pieces that will stay in style season after season. Many department stores offer designer collections at reasonable prices.

‘Tis the season to ‘winterize’ your body We rarely have weather conditions as extreme as our neighbors to the east, yet there is a tangible shift in weather that affects our skin. Moving from the warmth of our homes to the cold temperature outside and back into the warmth again eventually takes its toll, leaving our skin in a confused state of flux, usually leaning towards dryness. It’s not just the skin on our faces though that needs a little more TLC in the winter. From chapped hands to flaky lips and static-y hair, it’s time to inject a little extra moisture back into our lives. You may notice that your skin looks especially dull at this time of year. All traces of a summer glow have probably left and in its place is skin that looks lacklustre at best. You may also see that you are starting to get patches of rough or flaky skin where you normally do not have issues. The best way to remedy this is to use a gentle exfoliating cleanser that will scrub away those flakes and, most importantly, you need to use a substantial moisturizer afterwards. Many people assume that the moisturizer they use on a daily basis is good

all year round. But if it’s recommended Chrissy to change the tires on our vehicles each season in order to get better performance on the roads, why wouldn’t we also change the products we use on our face in order to get maximum results? If your skin is dry, use an exfoliant only once every seven to days. Those with oily skin can exfoliate two times a week and those with normal skin should be all right with a weekly scrub. Don’t scrub your face vigorously, though. Just use a few ﬁngers to scrub in small, circular motions to gently remove dry skin. A hydrating mask can be a welcome relief and may be a gel- or cream-based formula that is applied and left on for several minutes then rinsed. It may also come in a cloth-type mask that contains a hydrating solution that is laid on the skin’s surface. Find one that matches your skin type, read the directions carefully and apply. For even better results, lie down

Lambert Beyond Beauty

with your feet up to encourage circulation and blood ﬂow to the face. Dry lips are a common problem for many people at this time of year, especially those who spend higher than average hours outside in the cold and wind. My favourite trick to help get rid of dead skin on the lips is to use your toothbrush to gently buff off any flakes (after brushing your teeth at night). Apply a rich lip balm or good ’ole Vaseline and let your kisser rejuvenate while you catch some zzz’s. If you find your hair getting frizzy and static-y in the winter, consider applying a weekly mask to deep condition your hair while you are in the shower. Let it sit for several minutes while you suds the rest of your body and then rinse. If you dare, crank the water temperature to cold for a quick blast to your head to help seal the cuticle. Be sure to pat and/or squeeze your

hair dry rather than rubbing it forcefully with a towel. Another great option for giving your hair a little extra moisture is to add a touch of oil to the ends of your hair before styling as usual. Ask your hairstylist for a specific product recommendation if you are struggling with serious dry hair issues. Don’t forget about protecting your often exposed hands with a hydrating cream and cuticle oil. Hand creams with Shea butter or natural oils, such as grape seed and olive, work wonders for leaving your skin feeling soft rather than chapped throughout the day. At night, work a small amount of cuticle oil around each nail bed to help prevent painful hangnails and tiny tears or cuts. This winter, take a few extra steps to “winterize” your body before stepping out into the cold. Your skin will definitely thank you for it!

Designer duds offered at a discount

Consignment stores gain popularity across the country Shoppers with an eye on Manolo Blahnik shoes or a Louis Vuitton handbag may want to turn to consignment stores to realize good deals on designer duds. Consignment stores are surging in popularity across the country. Many look the same as mainstream retailers and are taking a chunk of their business profits, too. Consignment stores no longer carry the stigma they once did. Instead of grandma prints and last, last, last seasons’ styles, fashion-forward shops now offer a selection of gently used brand-name and very often designer merchandise to a discerning clientele of shoppers. A shopper might even be able to find new items straight from a manufacturer’s warehouse. What is the draw to consignment? For shoppers, it’s the ability to get good quality merchandise at a discounted price. Typically, consigned items will sell for 25 to 50 per cent of the original retail value, although each store varies in its policy. Some stores will continue to mark

Specialty consignment stores offer good quality, designer clothing at huge discounts. down items the longer they’re in the shop. For sellers, consignment stores offer the opportunity to have their merchandise on display and receive a portion

of the profits. Most stores will sell consigned items and split the profits at 40 to 60 per cent. This can make it easy for individuals with closets full of items that are not in use to make some

extra money. Many women in the fashion industry or socialites need to turn over their wardrobes frequently. These people would rather make some money than have items sit in their closets. Consignment stores are big business. According to the Association of Resale Professionals, there are currently more than 30,000 resale, consignment and thrift shops in the United States. Figures for Canada were not available. The industry has also experienced a growth – approximately seven per cent a year for the past two years. Plus, with real estate prices at all-time lows, many enterprising people are taking advantage of low rents and opening up consignment stores across the country. Don’t think consignment stores are glorified yard sales, either. Most stores will not accept items that are out-of-date or too much out of season. Some shops won’t carry merchandise that is older than two years old. In this economy, many people are looking to make or save money. Consignment stores can offer the best of both worlds.

The Way You Look

Aging is a natural process and every stage of life has its rewards. Why not make the most of whatever age you’re at? MD Cosmetic & Laser Clinic can help you look your best with a personalized Soft Lift™ makeover. The Soft Lift™ combines the use of Juvéderm™ dermal Äller with a cosmetic injectable to instantly refresh your look in a single treatment. As you age, your body’s rate of cell renewal slows down. With less collagen and elastin to support it, the skin thins out and wrinkles and volume loss occurs. Juvéderm™ is a dermal Äller that uses hyaluronic acid, a sugar that occurs naturally in the body, to smooth wrinkles and bring back lost fullness. A cosmetic injectable softens and relaxes lines, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines and frown lines between the brows. Want to see how you can look your best? Go to juvederm.ca for a personalized virtual makeover with the Revitalizer and then call us for your complimentary consultation.

Fine Fare & Wine to Pair with Kathleen Rake

Value wine from Spain with Christmas dinner Whatever the season, it’s always nice to find a value wine for sipping, sharing and gifting. And last week I came across a couple of wines that perfectly fit that bill. Cal Y Canto from Bodega Lopes Mercier in Spain has both a white and red blend that each demonstrates great QPR (quality/price ratio). The Cal Y Canto White ($11.99/11% ABV), a blend of two Spanish grapes, Viura and Verdejo, is citrusy, vegetal and fresh and would work well with either a salad dressed in a vinaigrette or a creamed vegetable dish. Its low alcohol makes this wine an easy sipper all on its own. The Cal Y Canto Full Red ($11.99/12% ABV) is a blend of Tempranillo (50%), Merlot (15%) and Syrah (5%). The wine is chock full of bright cherries, earth and tobacco on the nose. On the palate, you’ll find a pleasant acidity, more cherries, earth and tobacco, with a hint of dark chocolate and a black-pepper finish. Its tannins

give it a nice structure but are soft enough that you don’t have to have a nearly raw piece of red meat to tame them. The soft tannins, fruit, pepper and pleasant acidity work together to make this a perfect turkey-dinner wine for Christmas. I’m looking forward to exploring more of Spain through another two

Doug Hallam does a boxing workout with his personal trainer Yoshia Burton. The Hallam family has completed its three month fitness challenge.

Family rises to the challenge Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

It’s all over for the Hallams. After completing the Abbotsford News threemonth fitness challenge at the end of November, Donna Hallam has a husband, Doug, who is now 30 pounds lighter. Her nine-year-old son Hunter will now reach for a mandarin orange rather than a bag of chips. Her 14-year-old daughter Haley knows that Ramen noodles are not a food group. And the petite woman is finally getting a bulge in her bicep. And it’s just beginning. Under the watchful eye of trainer Yoshia Burton at Innovative Fitness, the Mission family has made real changes toward a healthier lifestyle, and it won’t end with the three-month challenge. Donna and Doug are in a routine where they go for a walk of at least 20 minutes every day after work. They have been hitting the gym, and working with their trainer every Friday. Fast food has been all but eliminated, and fruits and vegetables make up a bigger part of the grocery list. Yoshia increased the intensity of their workouts each week, and helped each family member meet their individual fitness goals. Doug had weight to take off, while Donna needed

to add upper body strength. She said she had no problem doing a half hour of cardio, but couldn’t do a pushup. “Yoshia was a big motivator,” said Donna. The workouts were good bonding time for the Hallams. “I liked that our family would get together and spend quality time together,” she said. “I want to teach them by example that it’s important to stay fit. “My kids were very inactive. It was a good wakeup for them.” Donna wants to build on what has been an excellent start, and doesn’t want the winter weather to get in the way. So they went out and bought a treadmill to use at home. Tamara Throssell works as a family coach with her company Changing Point Coaching and Mediation. “The whole idea of what I do is try to get families connected and enjoying family life,” she said. Throssell had a session with the Hallams where they worked on some goal setting. They put together a family contribution chart, which got the kids involved in more meal planning, and getting dinner started. She said the challenge appeared to be good for the Hallam family. “They did a great job, and really enjoyed it.”

Avoid injury while working out Perhaps no New Year’s resolution is as common as resolving to get in shape. After a holiday season filled with treats and social gatherings, it’s no surprise many people hope to shed a few pounds once the season has come and gone. With exercise on the minds of many, it’s a good time to go over a few pointers to ensure that the next trip to the gym does not end in injury. Q Be careful of “no pain, no gain.” Many beginners feel their workout isn’t working if it’s not hurting. While mild pain is to be expected, it’s up to the individual to determine if the pain is indicative of something bigger. Swelling and extreme stiffness are not normal, and individuals should cease working out if either of those problems arise. For beginners, expect muscle soreness after the first couple of workouts. This can be painful, but it’s often a result of working muscles that have not been taxed in quite awhile. This pain should subside, and once the muscles grow

If you are just starting a new exercise program, make sure you take it slowly to avoid injuries that could hamper your progress. accustomed to being worked, the pain, stiffness or soreness should no longer appear after a workout (this may take a workout or two for the muscles to get used to it). If the pain persists, do not continue to exercise through an injury. Any persistent pain should be discussed with a physician. Q Know your limits. Beginners need to be especially aware of their exercise limits. Initially, they shouldn’t attempt to do exercises their bodies can’t handle. Lifting too much

weight is common for beginners. Ideally, lift smaller amounts when beginning a workout to get

the motion of the exercise down pat. As workouts progress, a person can then gradually add weight.

Many fitness professionals feel adding 10 per cent each week is a safe and effective approach, but individuals will know after a few workouts what works best for them. It’s good to push oneself, but don’t push too hard and increase the risk of injury. Q Work with a trainer. Personal trainers can help beginners immensely. Trainers can teach beginners how to use machines and stretch properly and can answer any questions beginners commonly have. Trainers can be expensive, but many gyms offer one or two free personal training sessions to new

What is a cataract? By Dr. Sonia Sandhar, O.D.

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of reduced vision in adults. They occur when the lens in the eye becomes less transparent, causing less light to reach the back of the eye. Cataracts Dr. Sonia Sandhar O.D. usually develop gradually, Dr. Jason Lau O.D. and many people are unaware Dr. Amit Mathur, OD they are slowly losing vision. Dr. Raman Bhakri, O.D. A comprehensive eye exam Dr. Cynthia Ahkong O.D. with your optometrist includes evaluation and monitoring for cataracts. Your Optometrist 31205 Maclure Rd will monitor your cataracts @ Townline Rd. and let you know when they should be removed.

Keep your eyes looking youthful

Your eyes tell people a lot about your personality.

A 16th-century proverb claims that “eyes are the window to your soul.” Eyes are also the focal point of your face – they are one of your most expressive features and are used to convey emotion. Unfortunately, the delicate skin around the eyes is one of the first areas to show

the eyes can result in discomfort in wearing glasses. Excessive skin makes applying make-up difficult and can also result in a sweaty sensation on the upper eyelid. In severe cases sagging of the upper eyelids is accompanied by sagging of the eyebrows, in these cases a forehead or brow lift might be indicated. A blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure performed for the purpose of tightening and removing excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. Patients requesting this surgery are both men and women, usually between the ages of 35 and 80, and they do so because

Applauding ban on pet store puppy sales Last month Richmond City Lorie Council voted on a new bylaw to ban the sale of puppies and dogs in local pet stores. While some might question why a city council would highlight this issue, such bans have been implemented in a growing number of U.S. cities and the topic is now being raised in communities across B.C. One of the primary reasons such bans are being proposed is to stop the flow of dogs from puppy mills into our communities. Puppy mills are substandard operations where breeding dogs are kept in tiny crates for their entire lives and subjected to horrific conditions. This is done to maximize the profits of the unscrupulous operators who sell their puppies for upwards of $2,000 through a variety of venues, including pet stores. Having seen the devastating cruelty of puppy mills through my work at the BC SPCA, I applaud municipalities that are taking steps to stop unscrupulous breeders from selling dogs in our communities. But I also have a personal reason for supporting these bans. Nearly three years ago SPCA cruelty investigations seized a number of small dogs from a puppy mill breeder in the Lower Mainland. Among them was an apricot toy poodle who had been used as breeding stock her entire life. She was 10 years old, malnourished and suffering from a variety of medical issues as a result of

Chortyk

neglect. I wasn’t planning to add another dog to my family at the time, but each day as I saw this tiny, terrified creature cowering in the back of her kennel at the shelter, my heart went out to her. She was petrified of any movement or any attempt by staff to come near her and I knew that there would be few adopters interested in a 10-year-old dog who was not house trained and who was so unsocialized that she would bolt in fear at the slightest human contact. Soon after, Calleigh became an official member of our family. More than two years later I am still the only person she will let touch her. Her first reaction is to flee in fear if she feels trapped, and the house training is still a work in progress. She had to be taught many behaviours that should have come naturally for a dog, but each day her trust level increases and the fear in her eyes fades just a bit. Seeing her racing outside with my other dogs, her face joyfully upturned to the sunshine always brings a smile to my face, especially when I think of her first 10 years spent in cruel captivity. A ban on the sale of dogs in pet stores may seem like a small thing, but for the thousands of puppy mill dogs like Calleigh, any move that will help shut down this ruthless industry is a huge step forward. Lorie Chortyk is general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA.

Lorie Chortyk’s dog Calleigh was rescued from a puppy mill. She had been breeding stock her entire life, and at 10 suffered from a variety of health issues, was badly neglected, and distrusted people.
