Snow & Ice Control The goal of the City’s Snow and Ice Control Program is to maintain travel routes where there is snow and ice on roads and restore mobility for the traveling public. Our roads are classi¿ed: • ¿rst priority (high volume and strategic arterial and collector roads, and major access roads to hillside areas); • second priority (remaining arterial, hillside areas and collector routes); and • third priority (remaining roadways not identi¿ed as ¿rst and second priority). First priority roads are maintained until conditions are under control subject to worker/equipment availability and weather. Only then are resources redirected to second priority routes and subsequently third priority routes. The City of Abbotsford, which takes a pro-active approach to snow and ice control, operates three anti-icing units (tanks containing sodium chloride solution) on four-lane roads and rural priority roads. The units are used to spray road surfaces before and during a storm. Anti-icing helps keep roads ice free and improves snow removal. Several pre-wetting units, which inject liquid sodium chloride into the salt/sand mixture before it is applied to roads, are also used by the City. These units increase the melting of snow and ice and reduce the loss of salt/sand caused by traf¿c. The City does not remove snow and ice to bare pavement conditions. The public is encouraged to use caution, and wherever possible, park vehicles off the streets. Abandoned vehicles or vehicles obstructing roadways will be towed without notice to allow for snow clearing operations to continue and towing costs will be the responsibility of the vehicle owners. We ask that you do not plow snow from private properties onto the public roadways as this can result in visibility hazards and obstructions and will require additional time for clearing roadways. The City will work 24 hour days until the snow ends and ¿rst priority routes are passable for travel. For more information, please contact the Engineering Operations Division at 604.853.5485.

Winter Has Arrived! Please keep sidewalks, boulevards and footpaths next to your property clear of snow or ice, so others may safely use them. Under the City’s Good Neighbour Bylaw every owner or occupier of property shall remove snow and ice by 12:00 noon, the day after it accumulates. Failing to comply with the City’s bylaw may result in a ¿ne of $150.00. The City’s bylaws may be viewed on-line at www.abbotsford.ca or, if you have any questions, call us at 604-864-5512.

Christmas — Legacy of Hope Individually we can overcome and achieve many things —together we can change the face of our community The Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre welcomes the opportunity to partner with other businesses in our community to collectively bring focus to charitable contributions and work with us to increase the spirit of giving. We are very excited to announce our ¿rst annual Christmas - Legacy of Hope fundraising campaign to support our community through the Abbotsford Food Bank, the Salvation Army and the Cyrus Centre. For many, Christmas is a time of love . . .of family. . . of giving — but for others, a time of loneliness and need. To come together in the spirit of Christmas where we can each give just a little — can accomplish so much . . . can affect so many lives by giving them hope. Our goal is to raise funds through a “Toonie Drive” with our community partners and businesses. We will culminate this fundraiser with a “Celebration of Giving” at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre on December 3rd, 2010 from 7:00 – 11:00 am with a pancake breakfast by donation. Local dignitaries will be here to accept your donations of money, food and unwrapped gifts We will offer a “drive through service” for those of you who won’t be able to drop in to have breakfast with us. Your support and help over the next couple of months, through the collection of funds for the “Toonie Drive”, unwrapped gifts and food, promotion of the event, and encouragement of participation at your place of business will go a long way in helping us come together as a community to help our neighbours. We thank you for taking the time to consider supporting the Christmas — Legacy of Hope.

participate in a Halloween haunt with Disney villains, and take a trip around the world to Carnivale in Brazil, Chinese New Year in China and Sakura, the Japanese Cherry Blossom festival. “We have amazing world skaters in our show,” said Delorme. “It’s a family show, affordable, with something for everyone of every age and every budget, for sure.” Delorme, who turns 25 in December, has been travelling around the world with Disney on Ice for five years now and hopes to keep doing it for a few more. It wasn’t what he originally planned for a career, however. His father wanted him to play hockey while growing up in Gaspé, but Delorme discovered he didn’t like the sport after two practices. He was later introduced to figure skating by a good friend and moved to Ottawa to pursue skating when he was 14. He trained there for a few years before moving to Montreal. “I wanted to compete and when I was younger my

One per cent of the city’s 2011 capital facilities budget should be committed to funding public art, according to the Arts and Heritage Advisory Committee. The concept has received council’s approval in principle, and with the city investing in a new fire hall and library this budget year, it would mean spending $68,000 on public art. Tamaka Fisher, the city arts and heritage coordinator, said the advisory committee has been advocating a formalized process for funding public art for years. The same motion also asks council to affirm staff working toward the completion of a public art policy, and bring it back to council for approval by the end of 2010. “It (public art) creates a sense of civic pride and ownership,” she said. Fisher said there has been local support for public art, including: T In 2004 the city identified public art policies as a key component of a health city in its arts and heritage master plan. T In 2006 the advisory committee was established to begin creating a public art program, and it studied the

policies of other municipalities. T In 2009 the Crime Reduction Task Force included public art as an important component of the City Beautification Strategy, referring to civic pride and community ownership. T In 2010 the Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission approved recommendations in a public art policy report by the Arts and Heritage Coordinator. Fisher said a great deal of public art is already happening. Murals can be found on business walls and in school gymnasiums, benches and sculptures have been placed in the original commercial area by the Downtown Business Association, and a salmon sculpture has been erected at Fishtrap Creek. Recently, UFV arts students produced two murals at the Ag-Rec building and Agrifair buildings. Students at Margaret Stenersen Elementary are working on artwork to decorate the Discovery Trail. “It’s about community and inclusion. It’s hard to put a price on that,” said Fisher. City staff will make revisions to the public art policy report, and bringing it back before council. Mayor George Peary said the challenge with highprofile art is that there is no accounting for taste. “And the question remains, ‘is this the time for it?’”

Originally charged with invitation to sexual touching

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Thirteen more charges have been approved by Crown counsel against accused child predator Jeffrey Goddard of Abbotsford. Goddard appeared yesterday in Abbotsford provincial court to face the new charges – six counts of personating a peace officer, six counts of breaching his bail conditions, and one count of communicating via a computer to lure a child under the age of 16. Goddard was previously charged with invitation to sexual touching and five counts of breaching his bail. He now has a total of 19

Snow no fun for some Havoc in the streets

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Snow played havoc in Abbotsford and throughout the Fraser Valley on Thursday, putting cars in the ditch and causing fender benders across the region. Const. Ian MacDonald said Abbotsford Police had recorded 30 collisions by 3 p.m. “An experienced dispatcher says this is the heaviest day from a volume-of-collisions standpoint that he can remember.” The most serious injury was a head wound with bleeding. In another accident, a vehicle with a family of four flipped into a ditch. MacDonald said the accidents caused “minor traffic diversions” at worst and no roads had to be closed. He said most of the accidents could be blamed on people not driving appropriately for the conditions – for example, not leaving enough braking distance from the car in front of them. “People haven’t adjusted their driving down far enough yet.” Temperatures climbed back up yesterday from well below zero early in the week to a more seasonal high of six degrees C. Rain is expected throughout the weekend.

FINNISH TV FOCUSES ON APD Abbotsford Police have been included in the filming of a Finnish TV documentary crime show. A film crew was in Abbotsford Thursday afternoon to film a ride-along with a patrol officer and an interview with Chief Bob Rich. Const. Ian MacDonald said the filming was part of a focus on gang and drug issues in the Lower Mainland, including the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver and the Surrey Six slayings. The filming was set up through a former member of the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) who now works in film and knew Rich when he was chief of the VPD.

Nabbed for robberies

Vikki HOPES

Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Police are trying to determine why a group of two adults and three teens committed an armed robbery Wednesday night at a gas station, and possibly at two other locations earlier in the week. Const. Ian MacDonald said police are also looking into whether the group is linked to a robbery that took place in a “neighbouring jurisdiction,” although he wouldn’t say where. The group of five – a 22-year-old man, a 21-year-old woman, and three 17-year-old males – were arrested Wednesday after police received a report of a robbery in progress at a gas station and convenience store in the 5600 block of Riverside Road. The group involved wore balaclavas and carried guns. MacDonald said they were unable to access the cash register and took only some food items before fleeing. Witnesses who were driving by provided descriptions and locations for the suspect vehicle, a 2002 grey Dodge Caravan, which was located by police in the 3400 block of Elkford Drive. All five now face robbery charges. The Abbotsford Police Department’s major crime unit is co-ordinating the investigation and the links to the other robberies. The first one this week took place Monday at 9:40 p.m. at a video store in the 30500 block of Blueridge Drive, which was targeted by five suspects armed with handguns. The group took electronics and cash.

Abbotsford News I Saturday, November 27, 2010

CHRISTMAS SHOW

The following day at 9:30 p.m., a group of five robbed a restaurant in the 32400 block of George Ferguson Way. They took cash from the register before fleeing. The suspects wore dark clothing, gloves and balaclavas. The amount of cash taken in each robbery has not been released by police. MacDonald said these are unusual cases in that robberies of this nature are typically committed by one or two people who either have a drug debt or are addicts desperate for cash for their next hit. Robberies of high-end items such as jewelry and large electronics are often linked to organized crime, he said. The rationale behind the latest series of robberies is a little less clear. “We are still trying to figure out what would motivate this group to do what they’re doing ... We’re talking about businesses that would not have large amounts of cash or merchandise on hand,” MacDonald said. He said police are also trying to determine whether the weapons involved were real or replicas, although the impact on the victims is the same. He said there were “no more than a couple of people” at each site at the time of the robberies, but all believed the guns were real. The Victim Services unit is assisting with any needed support. The names of the arrested adults have not yet been released. The names of the teens are protected under the Young Offenders Act. All are known to police, MacDonald said.

dream was to go to the Olympics, but I realized it probably wasn’t going to happen, so I auditioned for Disney and I got the part,” he said. “The travelling is great and you get to see so many cities and meet different people.” Let’s Celebrate! is currently on a seven-month west coast tour across Canada and the United States. The cast will then head overseas in the summer to begin a yearlong trip through Japan and southeast Asia. There are 36 skaters in the production, ranging in age from 17 to 40. Many of them competed at high levels before joining the cast of Disney on Ice. Robin Johnstone, who skates as Princess Jasmine in the show, participated in national and international com-

petitions as an amateur figure skater before joining the company 14 years ago. She now tours with her husband Andy Buchanan, who plays Aladdin in the show. “This is the highest thing you can do if you’re not an Olympic medalist,” said Johnstone, who is from Steinback, Man. “Being in the ice show, we’re continuously learning. We’re always working on new lifts, jumps and spins. There’s so many hard tricks with pairs skaters that you wouldn’t see in competition, but we perform in the show.” Produced by Feld Entertainment, Let’s Celebrate! is at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre Dec. 3-5 for six shows.

QUESTION

Bulldog shot

OF THE WEEK

Should the city spend one per cent of its capital facilities budget on public art?

Seems unfortunate that some people just will not control their pets. You’ve got mutliple people being arrested at a house with 243 visits from the police in ﬁve years? Who is paying for that? I’m prepared to ﬁle a complaint requiring the owner of the house to cover all of the extra policing costs. Never mind the dog – that’s not even a consideration.

To answer, go to abbynews.com

Tired_of_mediocrity

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Was it worth $450,000 to have an AHL team in Abbotsford last season?

Why no pepper spray or even a taser? It is also plausible that police knew about the dogs on the property and yet no precautions? Mr. Smith Do you really think the Abbotsford police department has the time to waste to keep track of everyone’s pets? How many dogs would they have to know about?

YOU RESPONDED:

YES: 24% NO: 76%

An introduction on the protocol of liking Andrew

Holota

On Point Barely, just barely, I am getting past my obsession with the modern misuse of the word “like,” and what happens? I discover there is another manifestation of abuse of these maligned four letters. The source of this information is, not surprisingly, my daughter, who has become the primary vehicle of most new and disconcerting revelations in my life. She was relating the details of an afternoon school dance, in the standard-issue, streaming-conciousness, continuous-ﬂow, machine-gun verbal pace of young female teens, during which a normal adult can only comprehend perhaps every third or fourth word. It’s just another challenge in communicating with this element of the species.

It doesn’t get any easier when they’re older. You may understand more, but you have less inﬂuence. Pretty much like the rest of life... Anyway, I was able to glean the following: (Names are being withheld to protect the fragile egos involved.) Try to stay with me here... Guy A wants to dance with Girl A. Guy A cannot ask her himself, since that would be generally uncool, and more importantly, could result in rejection. That would be really uncool, especially if witnessed by buddies. So, Guy A goes to Guy B, and gets him to ask Girl B, a friend of Girl A, to ask Girl A if she would dance with Guy A. Guy B sets off on said objective, while Guy A pretends total indifference. Girl B relays the request to Girl A, who rolls eyes, giggles, groans, and ... says no. Girl B delivers the bad news to Guy B, who in turn briefs Guy A on the unhappy outcome of the mission. “She doesn’t like you.” Whoa, that’s pretty harsh, I say to

my daughter. Couldn’t she have let the guy down a little easier? She didn’t have to outright say she didn’t like him. The storyteller looks at me quizzically. What do you mean?

You’re talking about not liking someone when you do, and dating when you don’t. Well, she could have politely declined. She didn’t have to come right out and say she don’t like the poor sod. Oh, she does like him. Say what? She likes him, but she doesn’t like him that way. What way? Like in like-liking him. Oh, you have so lost me. OK, look. You can like someone, like a

friend, but you don’t like-like them, like the other way, you know? Like-like? Yeah, like-like. Like in dancing together. Or dating. Dating? What do you mean, dating? You’re all 13 years old. How can anyone date when you can’t drive a car for another three years? You can’t go out on a date! Are parents taking them out on dates? Well, no. You don’t actually go out on dates like you do when you actually date. Right. So if you can’t go out on a date, then how is it dating? Well, you just hang out together. Hang out? Yeah, you see each other at lunch and before school, and maybe hold hands, and stuff. Stuff ? Oh Dad, don’t be weird. Weird? I’m not being weird. You’re talking about not liking someone when you actually do, and like-liking someone enough to date, but when you do, you actually don’t! Well, at least now you understand it. Oh, not likely.

letters City is spending with citizens’ interest in mind This letter is in response to the recent letter, “City hall overspends.” The conclusion of the article is that the mayor and council members of Abbotsford should resign. The main reason given to support this is the fact that “the new sports centre which taxpayers are paying for” was contracted “for 10 years with a guarantee that the team using the arena will get $5.7 million dollars a year even if the citizens don’t show up.” The sports centre is not “seldomused.” As a student at UFV, I notice every time it is difficult to find parking across from the centre, which negates the premise of citizens not showing up to watch the

increasingly popular Abbotsford Heat play. If people are paying money to use the sports centre, I do not see a problem with a 10-year contract. The reason given that the city made the 10-year contract was to avoid “a white elephant for 10 years” is an opinion, which we are all entitled to. However, we can’t automatically assume that the city is making major decisions like this to cover their tracks and make them look good. They could not have known how successful the sports centre would have been; therefore, they made the choice of a 10-year contract. Whether the choice was wise or not, we will find out after 10

years, but it seems that so far, the flocking crowds at every Heat game suggest success. Another reason why the author believes the mayor and council members should resign is because property taxes are going up for apparently no reason, seeing as “the services haven’t gotten any better for all the money [he] give[s] to this city.” There is nothing wrong with the way the “garbage is collected” and how the “water goes down the same drains it has for years.” We still must take into account the economy, and the fact that rising property taxes are a fact of life that we should have assumed would be inevitable. If better city services are what he wants, he

Unfair attack on MLA Bennett Re: He’s not the real Bill Bennett (B.C. Views, Nov. 24). Tom Fletcher’s hatchet job on Independent MLA Bill Bennett has no basis in reality. I am the past president of the Kootenay East B.C. Liberal Constituency Association and have worked on all three of Bill Bennett’s successful election campaigns. Fletcher obviously didn’t bother researching the 2009 election results. Bennett won not with a “slim margin” but with a 51 per cent margin, higher than some candidates in the Fraser Valley, plus he defeated the leader of the B.C. Conservative Party.

And before he reluctantly took this job on 10 years ago, this was a solid NDP riding. As for “parliamentary tradition,” Fletcher ought to know that tradition supports the concept that premiers are first among equals, not kings among subjects. Bennett is in public life for all the right reasons. We ought to know. He lives in our community and is our neighbour and friend. Bennett has always had the courage of his convictions and this latest speaking out is what we expect from him. We didn’t hire him to be a lemming. We agree with our

MLA that Premier Gordon Campbell has done many good things for B.C., but he’s stayed too long and was jeopardizing the survival of the B.C. Liberal Party. As for Bennett’s comments about Mr Campbell’s style of leadership, we support our MLA’s right to say publicly what he has learned to be the truth. The fact his colleagues are silent is more of a reflection on them than on Bill Bennett. Jim Fennell Past President Kootenay East B.C. Liberal Constituency

Lucky to have art gallery I visited The Reach Art Gallery in Abbotsford last Tuesday and want to tell you how lucky you are to have it. What a beautiful large space with acres of walls to hang wonderful works of art on. The staff and volunteers were

so friendly and helpful in talking about the current VISTA Exhibition. Fifteen paintings from my late greatgrandfather, Thomas Mower Martin and many more by other fine artists and photographers are being

enjoyed by visitors to the gallery. These artists came out in the earliest days of the CPR Railway, to record Canada as it was then. I hope everyone in Abbotsford and vicinity gets to visit the exhibition before it closes

in early January, even classes of children in your local schools and seniors groups. History is about where we came from and what we have become and how this land of ours has shaped us. Toni Graeme

Left stranded and trapped by transit I moved to Abbotsford on July 1 and was thrilled with the affordable housing, the kind people and my beautiful new suite. However, what I didn’t realize until after moving was that I would be trapped in Abbotsford on holidays and unable to attend my chosen church. I learned there are no buses running on Sunday morning to transport me to church on time. Next, was my connection from one bus to another. The bus arrived late at Sevenoaks. When my friend and I reached downtown Abbotsford shortly after 5 p.m. we were advised by the bus driver that we missed the #7 Mt. Sumas bus. When we got off the bus we had a choice of standing in unsafe territory after dark for an hour, or walking up McKenzie Road two blocks from Marshall. As a senior with five heavy bags and my friend with cerebral palsy it was a very difficult walk. I called city hall twice to describe my experiences and through

can go to the city and take up his claims with them. Giving new businesses tax breaks is not a bad thing. Bringing more and newer businesses to Abbotsford not only improves the shopping experience for the average citizen (along with expanding Abbotsford as a whole), it labels Abbotsford as a tourist destination for those from smaller towns. If we have to pay a minimal amount for this to happen, so be it. The City of Abbotsford is spending with citizens’ interests in mind. Abbotsford is a more community-oriented, safer place because of the mayor and council members. Hannah Smith

tears shared how the transit system and lack of it had affected my life. He suggested that we should have used Handy Dart but, as I told him I am not eligible to use Handy Dart as I am not physically disabled. I’ve never lived in a city where they don’t provide access for the public. I’ve been told twice that the problem is funding. Why is there a lack of funding for public transit? I assumed that is why people pay taxes. I would like to ask everyone at city hall, those responsible for public transit and funding if they can imagine with the present bus system, what it would feel like if they didn’t have a car. How they would feel stranded and trapped in a city. For seniors and people with disabilities it is of the utmost importance that you provide this service. This Christmas when you sit down with family and friends to eat your dinner please think about all the people sitting alone because they cannot travel. E. Burnside

letters Pubs, restaurants must bow to the law Volleyball action this weekend! Envision Athletic Centre

Well, well, well, now there’s a bit of news that kind of puts us, as the saying goes, “between the devil and the deep blue sea,” eh? The new drinking driving laws are doing what they were designed for, reducing the number of drinking drivers on our streets and highways, with a consequent reduction in the vehi-

in our fragile economy. So looked at from that point of view, the new laws appear to be bad. The situation is exacerbated of course, by the newly instated HST. So what do we do? Well, we can hardly call the liquor business an essential service, can we? Indeed, recently revealed

research asserts that alcohol consumption is an even larger threat to our society than is drug addiction. So it seems to me the pub and restaurant venues will just have to tighten their belts and bow to the law of supply and demand, for the general good of us all. Bert Warden

No concerns for what taxpayers want

cle accidents, injuries and/ or deaths from traffic accidents. That’s good, is it not? On the other hand the new driving laws are costing big bucks for the pub and restaurant industries along with job losses for those employed in those venues, and of course, lost jobs are crucial right now

Taxpayers who attended the budget hearings were asked by the city manager to provide notes of their concerns, as well as taking submissions on the tax increases until Dec. 20, 2010. This was the proper and legal way to conduct the tax process. Instead, his excellency George Peary, less than one business day later, decides in his arrogance, with no concerns about what taxpayers wanted, to ram through the excessive tax increases regardless of public opposition. There is absolutely no way that

Peary could have studied all the notes and taxpayer submissions – his mind was already made up long before the meaningless budget hearings. Peary could care less about public input. The excuses he uses are bogus – whether there are 210 cops or 216, nothing will change – you still won’t have adequate traffic enforcement on your street. The epidemic of break-ins and home invasions will continue. Why? Because it’s all in how you delegate and assign those officers.

Traffic enforcement is pathetic – a reason why 13 people have been killed on Abbotsford streets. The excessive vehicle fleet-buying is wasteful spending, and is basically empire building. Most public works projects need to be privatized – this will result in huge savings to taxpayers. It doesn’t take two guys to hang a traffic sign – one to carry the sign, the other to hand him the nuts and bolts. Bob Loney

Bishop should stop harassing people In response to the open letter by Bishop Ingham, I think it is time for him to stop harassing these people and let them go. Although it appears for the moment that the New Westminster diocese may have the legal right to turn these people out of their home, it is still not the right thing to do. History has seen landlords turf people out, but the oddity here is that the tenants actually bought and paid for the property themselves. The congregation of Saint Matthews only wants to go on faithfully following what is good and honest and fair. Bishop Ingham should respect that. It has been said that adversity is a test of character. A better test is to give someone a little power and see how they use it. There is a gracious way to go forward. Let the congregation stay in their own home. Michael Murdock

Neighbours save home from fire

W el

Where Chefs Shop!

Smouldering cigarette the cause An off-duty firefighter and a neighbour are responsible for saving a $500,000 home in Abbotsford from going up in flames on Monday morning. Firefighter Travis Stolz and Todd Warkentin were alerted by another neighbour to a fire that had started on the sundeck of a home at 3338 Blossom Court at about 9:15 a.m. The owners were not home at the time. Stolz and Warkentin quickly put out the flames using a portable fire extinguisher. Damage is estimated to be about $5,000 and was limited to the vinyl siding, decking, soffits and railings. Steve Oldroyd, fire prevention officer with Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service, said the fire was caused by a cigarette being placed in a plastic planter. “The potting soil, which contains combustible peat soil, ignited and was fanned by the high winds,” he said in a press release. He said cigarettes should never be disposed of in plastic containers.

First Nations treaties proving elusive

Tom FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. Treaty Commission released its 17th annual report recently, describing a year of symbolic successes, mounting debts and continued federal delays in treaty negotiations around the province. The symbols include restoring the traditional name of Haida Gwaii for the islands of B.C.’s northern coast, and recognition of the Olympic host first nations as heads of state. Treaty commissioners said those are the latest signs that the federal and provincial governments are moving to full recognition of Aboriginal rights and title in B.C. The debts have climbed to $397 million, lent to more than 50 Aboriginal groups in treaty talks since the commission began in 1993. Those loans begin to come due in the summer of 2011, but Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre said agreement has been reached to extend the deadline for beginning repayment for another 10 years. “First Nations that don’t have treaties, they have no means of starting to repay, so we have to extend that debt,” Pierre said. The latest federal delay is a freeze on allocating treaty

shares of fish, while a judicial inquiry probes the state of Fraser River salmon runs. That inquiry is expected to report its findings by May of 2011. Salmon sharing agreements were reached with the Sliammon and Yale First Nations in southwester n B.C.

before the inquiry began, and those communities are preparing a vote of members to ratify their completed treaties. The In-SHUCKch Nation between Harrison and Lillooet Lakes also settled fishing rights with Ottawa and reached a final agreement, but one of its three

member communities withdrew from the deal and is negotiating amendments. T he 220-member Yekooche First Nation in northwestern B.C. has agreed to a treaty settlement, except for the fish settlement that awaits federal approval. The Lheidli T’enneh First Nation near

BLACK OV E

Prince George is facing a new deadline to decide whether it will hold a second ratification vote. A majority of members rejected a completed treaty in 2007, and the federal government has indicated its part of the land and cash offer will be withdrawn by the end of November. In 2008 the

Tsawwassen First Nation in Metro Vancouver and MaaNulth First Nations on Vancouver Island ratified the first treaties produced under the B.C. Treaty Commission. Pierre said their progress in developing land and resources is a positive sign for other groups in treaty talks.

NOTICE OF VOTE TOM FLETCHER

Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen (second from right) was among six MLAs in the B.C. Liberal caucus showing their support for George Abbott, who announced his party leadership bid in Vancouver on Thursday.

Leadership intentions Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong will announce next week whether he plans to run for premier. So far just two Liberal Party leadership hopefuls have declared their intentions: VancouverLangara MLA Moira Stilwell, and Shuswap MLA George Abbott, who is also the education minister. Attorney General de Jong has long been rumoured to be a successor for Gordon Campbell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am gratified and humbled by the encouragement I am receiving,â&#x20AC;? he said Thursday. He said there are three main considerations that will weigh on his decision, and first is the ability to bring together the free enterprise movement in B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is in danger of fracturing, and if it does we will have an NDP government in British Columbia.â&#x20AC;? The second factor is the ability to rebuild the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faith in the party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to re-earn, as a government, the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trust,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to do that one person at a time, and one decision at a time.â&#x20AC;? He said the party leadership has to listen to British Columbians, and to grassroots members of the Liberal party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have spent a lot of time telling people whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for them,â&#x20AC;? he said.

And de Jong said he has to measure his support across the province, and not just in the Lower Mainland. The cabinet fixture has served in numerous roles, including minister of forests,

minister of labour and minister of aboriginal relations and reconciliation. He said that work has taken him to every corner of B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a town in B.C. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to, at least once.â&#x20AC;?

De Jong said there will be no shortage of quality candidates for leader, calling Stilwell a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very capable individualâ&#x20AC;? and Abbott someone for whom he has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tremendous amount of respect.â&#x20AC;?

Province reviews minimum wage Tom FLETCHER Black Press

As B.C. Liberal leadership candidates join the chorus calling for an increase in Canada’s lowest minimum wage, the government has begun laying the groundwork for the first increase in nine years. Labour Minister Iain Black said Thursday he has asked staff to consult with business and labour representatives over the next three months. Black’s announcement came hours after Shuswap MLA George Abbott resigned as education minister and announced his leadership bid, featuring a promise to review the minimum wage. Vancouver-Langara MLA Moira Stilwell, the first leadership candidate to declare, has called for it to be increased immediately from the current $8 an hour to $8.50, with 50-cent increases every six months until it reaches $10. Stilwell advocated the same schedule of increases for the $6-anhour “training wage” that applies to new workers in their first 500 hours of employment. Calls for an increase have become an annual Labour Day campaign by the B.C. Federation of Labour and the NDP opposition. Both groups have advocated an immediate increase to $10 an hour. Finance Minister Colin Hansen said this week that only 2.3 per cent of B.C. workers are paid minimum wage, and the majority of those are young people who live with their parents. New Brunswick is the latest province to raise its minimum wage, going from $8.50 to $9 an hour on Sept. 1 with further increases to take it to $10. Ontario’s minimum wage is $10.25, the highest in Canada. It’s $8.70 in Prince Edward Island, $8.93 in Yukon, $8.80 in Alberta, $9.25 in Saskatchewan, $9 in Manitoba and Northwest Territories, $9.20 in Nova Scotia, $9.50 in Quebec and $10 in Nunavut and Newfoundland.

Bacon sentencing under publication ban Dan FERGUSON Black Press

James returned to the family home around 1 a.m. on April 13, 2007 in his brother Jarrod’s Corvette. James fled from the car, getting shot in the back as he ran for his life. Because he was wearing a bullet-proof vest, he escaped with severe bruising between his shoulder blades. Jarrod was not home

the night of the shooting. Judge Lytwyn said the evidence proved the Glock was fired by James Bacon during the gun battle and that he hid the gun in the compartment or had someone else put it there before the police arrived. Lytwyn found James guilty of 10 weaponsrelated charges and one

count of criminal drug possession because he admitted to carrying 108 Oxycodone pills, a powerful painkiller better known as OxyContin. The evidence against Jarrod differed from that of his brother, Judge Lytwyn said.

While Crown prosecutor Teresa MitchellBanks argued the discovery of Jarrod’s DNA on the magazine of the Glock fired by James meant Jarrod was involved, Judge Lytwyn said the “biological material containing the DNA found

on the magazine is too small, too inconclusive to lead to the conclusion suggested by the Crown.” The Bacon brothers grew up in Abbotsford, moved to Surrey with their parents in 2007, and the family then returned to Abbotsford.

The judge who will decide how much time James Bacon will serve for hiding guns in a Chevy Suburban has imposed a ban on publishing details of the sentencing hearing that began this week in Surrey Provincial Court. The order was issued Tuesday and was to remain in effect when the hearing resumed Thursday and Friday. Crown prosecutor Teresa Mitchell-Banks was reportedly seeking a 10- to 12-year jail sentence. Judge Jean Lytwyn was expected to take several days to draft a decision after the hearing wrapped. She convicted the youngest of the notorious Bacon brothers in May. Older brother Jarrod was charged with the same offences, but the judge said there wasn’t enough evidence to link him to the concealed weapons compartment found inside an SUV in Surrey three years ago. The two Bacons were charged after police officers discovered the hidden compartment in a Suburban parked in the garage of the Bacon residence. It contained four loaded handguns, a Glock 40-calibre Model 23, a Sig Sauer 45-calibre Model P220, a Glock 40-calibre Model 22 and a 9-mm Ceska Zbrojovka Model TT9, along with five loaded ammunition magazines. All are restricted weapons. Judge Lytwyn described the custom-

built hiding place underneath the vehicle’s centre console cup holder as a “sophisticated secret compartment” The compartment was discovered by police following the attempted murder of James Bacon by one or more assassins. They opened fire with .45-calibre handguns when, after a night out,

$50,000 to hospice society

Prospera Credit union has committed $50,000 to the Abbotsford Hospice Society (AHS). The society needs to secure $7.5 million to build a hospice residence in Abbotsford. This new facility will be located on the west side of the Abbotsford Regional Hospital at Marshall and Gladwin, and will be part of the Campus of Care, a oneof-a-kind project that will include Canuck Place and Matthew’s House. The Abbotsford Hospice Society helps people who are dying, and has been serving the community since 1986 but Abbotsford does not have a hospice residence for those 19 and over. “We have been conducting presentations to a number of organizations in our community and have received great support,” said AHS executive director Debbie Lehmann. “We are excited to announce at this time that Prospera Credit Union has become the ﬁrst to enter our Visionary Circle. We gratefully

acknowledge this early support from a well established business in our community and look forward to working with Prospera for the long term. The Credit Union has been a continual supporter of AHS with contributions to our annual gala, golf tournament and many other fund raising events.” Prospera Credit Union president and CEO Bruce Howell echoes that sentiment. “We are very excited to partner with the Abbotsford Hospice Society for the next three years. The Hospice Society and Prospera have a legacy relationship that spans more than 10 years and we wholeheartedly support the commitment they show to providing their services to the people of Abbotsford,” he said. “The Campus of Care is a unique venture that we at Prospera and of course all of Abbotsford can be extremely proud to champion.”

At the Abbotsford head offices of Prospera Credit Union, the $50,000 commitment was celebrated with CEO Bruce Howell, VP centralized administration Jane Taylor, and the Abbotsford Hospice Society’s capital campaign manager Marion Keys and executive director Debbie Lehmann.

Ski swap benefits local food bank

Kidsport keeps local kids in the game Abbotsford Mayor George Peary accepted on behalf of four lucky Abbotsford kids, a generous donation of hockey equipment from KidSport Abbotsford through the NHLPA Goals and Dreams fund. KidSport Abbotsford is an organization that believes no kid should be left on the sidelines and all should be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of organized sports. “There are so many important benefits to being involved in sports at a young age,” said Peary. “Through sports, children and youth learn the importance of physical fitness, social skills and self confidence, and those lessons

will last them a lifetime.” KidSport provides support to children in order to remove ﬁnancial barriers that prevent them from playing organized sports. “The need for ﬁnancial support grows each year,” said Rick Stewart, president of Abbotsford Minor Hockey Association. “Thanks to our partnership with organizations like KidSport we have not had to turn anyone away. KidSport has helped many Abbotsford families not only by providing funding but also by providing hockey equipment to those in need.” For more information on KidSport Abbotsford, visit www.kidsportabbotsford.ca.

Canadian Ski Patrol of Greater Vancouver put together the Winter Extreme Ski Show and Swap at at Tradex on Nov 19-20. Being great supporters of the community they raised $3,800 and over 2,500 kilograms of food for the Abbotsford Food Bank. In poker parlance, Kevin Bourdin of Hemlock Resort went all in for the show, taking on one of the showcase areas. Randy Bishop of Mad Dog’s Source for Sport also pushed his stack in. Not to be outdone Brent Murdock of Abbotsford’s Valhalla Pure joined the party. How could it not be a great show? Organizers say it was their ﬁrst step on the road back to being B.C.’s largest ski show and swap.

YOU are cordially invited to attend … so OTHERS can be helped! Christmas is about giving and that is why Fountainview Academy Orchestra and Choir are returning to present their gift of music at their 2nd annual Inspirational Christmas concert here in Abbotsford! They need your help to stock the Abbotsford Food Banks’ shelves for Christmas. The students greatly desire to thrill your heart with songs of the Nativity as well as to BENEFIT our community. Last year’s Christmas concert at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium was attended with unprecedented success. The Abbotsford Food Bank was overwhelmed with the tremendous amount of food items donated and money donations given. The students want to support this worthy endeavour again by asking you to donate food items, in lieu of an entrance ticket, to the concert. These food item gifts will be gratefully accepted at the door. This is a FREE concert for ONE and ALL to enjoy while making it possible for those less fortunate to have a blessing during the holiday season. Due to this being a NON - TICKETED event, seating is on a “ﬁrst come” basis. They have been seen on Canada’s Premier Television Channel, CTV, during the Olympics and also aired on other channels in North America. This young group of musicians have travelled internationally… from the US Capitol in Washington DC, to the Ukraine, Guatemala, Panama, and more. This energetic passionate youth orchestra and choir will be performing 2 concerts at the New Life Church on Saturday, December 4th. The address is 35270 Delair Rd.

FREE ADMI

SSION

The afternoon concert will begin at 4:00 pm (doors open at 3:20 pm) and the evening concert at 7:00 pm (doors open at 6:20 pm). The afternoon concert gives opportunity for those, like some seniors, who are not able to attend later in the day. They are excited that students from a local Christian high school will be joining them on several musical selections. This will swell the sound as together they celebrate the Yuletide season. Approximately 110 young people ages 15 – 19 yrs old will present this heart warming concert. An alumnus of Fountainview Academy, Sedric Benson, will inspire us with several selections on his violin. After graduating from this high school he completed his Bachelor of Music performance in violin from Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan. He currently lives and works in Anacortes,WA and loves to bless others with his talents. There will be an opportunity to express thanks to the school as a free will offering will be collected in the concert to help offset their travelling expenses. Their music DVD’s and CD’s will be available for purchase after the concert AND for those loving gift giveaways there will be a draw for a delightful gift basket at the end of each concert.

Question: I have heard there is a non-surgical neck and facelift called Thermage® – is it safe and does it work? Tracy, Surrey

dresses

Answer: Thermage® is a non-invasive treatment for tightening loose and sagging skin. The most common areas treated are forehead, around the eyes, the mid and lower face and the neck. After one treatment results appear gradually over a 6 month period. Typically there is no downtime. We are ﬁnding that Thermage® treatments used in conjunction with Botox, Fillers and Fraxel® create dramatic improvements to achieve a more youthful appearance. At our ofﬁce we refer to the combination of Fraxel® and Thermage® as “the facelift bypass procedure”.

Canadian drama takes centre stage with Gallery 7 Theatre Open auditions being held for Quiet in the Land Gallery 7 Theatre and Performing Arts is celebrating its 20th anniversary season with a unique blend of humour and tragedy. The company is staging Anne Chislett’s drama Quiet in the Land, a production they produced 10 years ago with great success. “We were looking for a show that would connect well with audiences and take us back to our roots as a theatre,” said executive artistic director Ken Hildebrandt. “It’s a very compelling piece of theatre that deals with tradition, faith, forgiveness and redemption. I think audiences are going to be in for a really impactful and inspiring night of theatre.”

Directed by Langley’s Shannon Braithwaite, Quiet in the Land is a prodigal son story set in a Canadian Amish community during the First World War. Yock Bauman can’t comprehend how his strict father can stand idly by while war rages on in Europe. Shunning the pacifist beliefs of his community, Bauman enlists in the military where he soon becomes a hero to the nation but an outcast to his own. Having been powerfully affected by the horrors of battle, Bauman returns home to find he has lost more than he could ever have imagined. “It’s very real and honest,” said Hildebrandt. “The fact that there’s a nice balance of humour and seriousness in the play offers some great challenges for actors to find a whole range of emotion as well.” Gallery 7 Theatre andPerforming Arts is holding

It takes 31 muscles to fold up this newspaper

open auditions for Quiet in the Land on Dec. 2. at 6:30 p.m. Performers aged 10 and up are invited to attend the casting call at MEI Theatre in Abbotsford. The production has six roles for men and five for women, as well as a couple of nonspeaking parts for children. Acting experience isn’t mandatory, but the ability to sing and speak in a German accent is an asset. Rehearsals will begin Jan. 3 at MEI Theatre and take place on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Some Saturday rehearsals will also be held. Quiet in the Land runs March 4-5, 10-12 and 17-19 at 7:30 p.m., with additional matinees on March 5 and 12 at 2 p.m. Anyone interested in auditioning is asked to sign up ahead of time online at www. gallery7theatre.com, by email at info@gallery7theatre.com or by calling 604-504-5940.

Don’t get me wrong. I understand the motivation for wanting to do it yourself or having a handyman friend hang a ceiling fan, move a chandelier or add an outlet. You were probably trying to save a little money and avoid the aggravation of finding a reputable electrician who’ll show up on time, do the job on the first trip and do it for the price quoted! But now you’re stuck. The fan is wobbling. The outlet doesn’t work. The chandelier project is half done or maybe never even got started because you didn’t have the right tools or parts . . .

Have No Fear! My technicians are trained professionals, experienced at “stepping in” and ﬁnishing up electrical projects, large & small, to your complete satisfaction. And you’ll be relieved to know: • We make appointments that we keep.

Leland Irving is 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;1â&#x20AC;?, 176 pounds of flesh and bone, but he looked like a brick wall to the Manitoba Moose on Friday night. The Abbotsford Heat goalie stole a victory for his team at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, stopping 41 shots during regulation and overtime â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many is spectacular fashion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and three more in the shootout as the Heat won 2-1. Of the 5,873 fans in attendance, about half were cheering for the hometown Heat and the other half were behind the Moose, the Vancouver Canucksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; AHL affiliate. But everyone in the building left with an appreciation for Irving. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to recall a better goaltending performance in the 15-month history of the Heat franchise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He won the game for us,â&#x20AC;? Heat forward Matt Keith succinctly analyzed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was his night, and we know that in the dressing room. We got great goaltending, and we want to come tomorrow night and make it a little bit easier for him.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, Irving was often left to his own devices â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly in the second period, when the Moose lay siege to the Heat zone. But none of the 15 shots the Moose fired in the middle stanza escaped Irving. His most blatant display of grand larceny came midway through the frame, with the Heat on an extend two-man disadvantage. Irving sprawled to his right to throw his body in front of a Cody Hodgson one-timer at the right side of net. Then he rolled back into the blue ice and flashed out his glove to snare Lee Sweattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rising rocket from the high slot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was kind of sprawling all

Irving recalled afterward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just trying to get a piece of it, and I saw it clearly the whole way, so I was able to get a glove on it.â&#x20AC;? The Heatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone goal in regulation came 58 seconds into the second period, in greasy fashion off the stick of Lance Bouma. The rookie winger found the puck in a forest of legs in front of the Manitoba net and jammed it past Moose keeper Eddie Lack. The Moose finally solved Irving at the 8:06 mark of the third, when Kevin Connautonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeing-eye wrister from the

point found its way through a crowd to the back of the net. Irving never saw the puck. It was Mooseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 34th shot of the night. T.J. Brodie put the Heat in a tight spot a couple minutes later, drawing a five-minute major and game misconduct for spearing well behind the play. The Moose shaved off two minutes of the extended power play by taking a penalty for too many men on the ice, and the Heat survived regulation. When a scoreless overtime gave way to a shootout, the outcome felt like a foregone conclusion, what with Irving doing a reasonable impersonation of Miikka Kiprusoff.

And so it went. Three of the four Heat shooters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jon Rheault, Bryan Cameron and Matt Keith â&#x20AC;&#x201C; put the puck past Lack, while Irving stopped all three shooters he was required to face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Irving) was great,â&#x20AC;? said Moose centre Cody Hodgson, who dented the Heat keeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mask with a rocket of a wrist shot in the third period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of shots and a lot of quality opportunities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like we were just shooting from anywhere. He made some pretty unbelievable saves.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; The Heat and Moose renew hostilities at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the AESC. All 7,046 tickets have been sold for that game.

Quintin Laing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an old man by any conventional standards, but in terms of the Abbotsford Heat, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a veritable Methuselah. Upon joining the Heat two weeks ago, the 31-year-old immediately became the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elder statesman by quite a margin. Prior to Laingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival, the oldest player on the AHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest roster was 27-year-old Matt Keith. And the bulk of Laingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new teammates are much younger than that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 10 rookie pros ply their trade in Abbotsford. Laing, in contrast, has racked up plenty of miles on the odometer over the course of his 10 pro campaigns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good opportunity for me to show what kind of leadership I have,â&#x20AC;? the Harris, Sask. native said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mostly, it just comes down to showing what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got on the ice and showing what it takes to be a professional.â&#x20AC;? Laing played 36 NHL games in 2009-10 with the Washington Capitals, but as a free agent last summer, he faced a tough job market. He went without a contract until mid-October, when he landed with the ECHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Victoria Salmon Kings. His stint in the B.C. capital lasted just four games. The Heat, wracked by injuries, signed Laing to a tryout contract on Nov. 10, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been happy with the early returns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he has four points in his first five games.

Sports

In Brief TOCHKIN TERRIFIC Abbotsford’s Kellan Tochkin has been named the Western Hockey League’s player of the week. Tochkin, a forward with the Everett Silvertips, picked up seven points (four goals, three assists) and posted a +7 rating to lead the Silvertips to three victories last week. Most notably, the Vancouver Canucks prospect netted his first WHL hat trick in a 4-2 win over the Kamloops Blazers last Friday.

DOERKSEN HONOURED Abbotsford product Jacob Doerksen has been named Canada West’s male athlete of the week. Doerksen, who plays basketball for the Trinity Western Spartans, led his team to back-to-back wins over the Alberta Golden Bears on the weekend, averaging 24 points, six rebounds and three assists.

UFV’S BEST Basketball players Joel Friesen and Tessa Klassen have been named the University of the Fraser Valley’s athletes of he week. Friesen was a bright spot for the Cascades men’s basketball team on Friday, scoring a game-high 21 points in a 84-68 loss to the UBC Thunderbirds. Klassen led the UFV women in scoring in both of their weekend games at UBC, posting a total of 24 points.

MILLER TIME Tyler Miller’s fifthplace finish was the highlight for the Abbotsford Skating Club at the B.C./ Yukon sectionals in Kelowna last week. Competing in the pre-novice category, Miller finished eighth in the short program and fourth in the long program, and earned himself an alternate spot for Western Regionals in Ontario. Other local competitors included Madison Johnson, Sarah Steberl, Julia Scott, Celidh Ross and Allison Kuehn.

Huskies off to B.C. championship Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Back in the 1980s, Abbotsford Senior (now Abby Collegiate) and its feeder schools represented the gold standard of the local football scene. In light of that storied tradition, it seems appropriate that the 2010 edition of the Abbotsford Middle School Huskies Grade 8 squad is succeeding with an old-school brand of smashmouth football. The Huskies quali-

fied for the provincial Tier 2 championship game on Wednesday, doubling up on Pitt Meadows 28-14 in the B.C. semifinal. Abby Middle was led by its fearsome rushing tandem of tailback Grayson Marquardt and fullback Philip Cromwell – Marquardt rumbled for three touchdowns, and Cromwell also found the end zone. The game was tied 14-14 at the half, but the Huskies broke through for a pair of

majors after the break. Alex Pongracz sealed the victory with an interception with two minutes remaining. “Our kids are pretty excited,” Abby Middle principal Ian Levings said. “They think they’re going to the Super Bowl.” The Huskies, in fact, are going to Burnaby Lakes Stadium, where they’ll face Langley’s H.D. Staf ford Skyhawks at 1 p.m. next Tuesday. (Grade 8 Tier 2 football is equivalent to high

school AA.) There’s nothing subtle about the way the Huskies go about their business. “We have a couple big backs who aren’t scared to run it up the

middle,” Levings said. “We’re not finesse, we’re not necessarily about speed. We’re g round-and-pound, old-school football. Nobody can really stop ’em.”

The Huskies’ coaching staff is comprised entirely of community volunteers, and Levings lauded the work of Jason Edge, James Roe, Matt Macri and Barry Stewart.

Every team has its heart and soul players, veteran leaders who lead by example and leave everything theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got on the field. No one knows more about heart than Teague Funk. It is heart that has allowed the Abbotsford native to take average athletic gifts and carve out an impressive run in junior football with the Chilliwack Huskers. It is heart that recently earned Funk the B.C. Football Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ron White Award for 2010, recognizing the player who shows outstanding community spirit and leadership. And it is heart that almost ended it all when Funk was 17 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a heart attack during a junior hockey game,â&#x20AC;? Funk explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then I had another one a week later during a high school football game.â&#x20AC;? It is a one-in-a-million shot that a teenage kid would ever experience cardiac arrest. Funkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems started innocuously enough, with a simple garden-variety flu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got sick and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a break,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had hockey and football and school and I just kept going. Somehow, I ended up with an infection of the lining of my heart.â&#x20AC;? He was playing a road game in West Vancouver with the junior B Abbotsford Pilots when things came to a head. During the hockey game, he took a bad knock that bruised his heart â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the combination of the bruise and the pre-existing infection triggering the heart attack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually thought it was an asthma attack,â&#x20AC;? Funk recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sat down on the bench, and my chest was hurting, but then I went out for another shift. When I came back, I started getting the shooting pains and everything.â&#x20AC;? Thankfully, the Pilots team trainer was vigilant.

Falcons victorious

The Abbotsford junior bantam Falcons punched their ticket to the provincial community football semifinals with a thrilling 7-6 overtime victory over the Chilliwack Giants on a bitterly cold Tuesday evening. All of the scoring in regulation time came late in the second quarter. The Giants got a touchdown just before halftime, but missed the convert.

The Falcons returned the ensuing kickoff for a major, but their convert was also missed. Both teams mounted sustained offensive drives in the second half, but neither could convert in the red zone, necessitating OT.

The W.J. Mouat Hawks junior football team fell one game short of the provincial championship, as the Mount Douglas Rams of Victoria blitzed them 44-25 in the AAA semifinals at a snow covered Mouat Field on Thursday afternoon. Mount Dougâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical ground attack, led by aptly named running back Mason Swift, was too much for the Hawks to handle in the first half. Mouat did a better job of slowing Swift after the break, but the Rams took to the air at that point

to put the finishing touches on the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mount Doug is a super-physical team, and it took us until later in the game to figure out how to play in these conditions,â&#x20AC;? Hawks junior coach Jon McCarthy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the time we started to stop the run, they went to the pass, and unfortunately they got some big ones on us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In these conditions, one guy slips and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big play.â&#x20AC;? Hawks tailback Brandon Barratt had a big game in defeat, rushing for three majors. Quarterback Mario Narte, bothered by a shoulder injury all week, also rushed for a touchdown. That the game even happened was quite an undertaking. Kickoff was delayed by an hour as players took to the turf with whatever snow removal gear they could find â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from shovels to sheets of plywood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to scrape away some of the white stuff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud of the whole program,â&#x20AC;? McCarthy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty amazing, seeing the whole group of guys out here clearing the field, just so we could play the game. If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say Mouat football, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what does.â&#x20AC;?

Canadian Tire, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest hockey retailer, and the National Hockey League today announced that Canadian Tire has signed a partnership agreement with the NHLÂŽ to become the Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ cial Sporting Goods Retailer of the NHL in Canada. The agreement includes a hat trick of exciting announcements: a ďŹ ve-year NHL partnership, the launch of the NHL-powered Canadian Tire Hockey School (CTHS) and the naming of Stanley Cup winner and Olympic Gold Medalist Jonathan Toews as CTHS founding member and ofďŹ cial spokesperson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest retailer of sporting equipment and a brand steeped in Canadian history, Canadian Tire is who Canadians trust for their ďŹ rst pair of skates, stick, helmet and pads. Over the past 90 years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve equipped millions of ďŹ rst-time hockey players, like Jonathan Toews, from head to toe,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Arnett, President of Canadian Tire Retail. Further developing a grassroots connection in Canadian communities, Canadian Tire will launch the Canadian Tire Hockey School NHL Skills Camps. These unique camps will provide Canadian minor hockey players the opportunity to develop and grow their skills through on and off ice skill development sessions led by experienced NHL hockey experts, with appearances by NHL alumni and coaches. In addition to becoming an OfďŹ cial NHL Partner in Canada, Canadian Tire will now be designated as an OfďŹ cial Partner of the NHL Heritage Classicâ&#x201E;˘, NHL All-Star Game, Stanley CupÂŽ Playoffs, Stanley Cup Final and NHL Face-Offâ&#x201E;˘. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Expanding our reach into new categories like this will continue to increase the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to reach and unite Canadian hockey fans.â&#x20AC;? Selling more hockey sticks and pucks than any other retailer in the world, Canadian Tire has been the inspiration for millions of hockey ďŹ rsts for players from coast to coast. The CTHS website will offer unparalleled content for Canadian hockey players, parents, coaches and fans. From how to play on a backyard rink or advance in a local house league, to knowing how hockey gear ďŹ ts and what it costs, CTHS will offer unique subject matter expertise and practical insights into how to mentor, parent and become a well-rounded player. CTHS members also will receive exclusive NHL-related offers and promotions, including a chance to win a trip with two tickets and VIP treatment to the NHL All-Star Game, the NHL Heritage Classicâ&#x201E;˘ and a Stanley Cup Final game.

Funk coaches football, mentors youth From A33

SFU were put on ice. It took two years before Funk would return to a football field. It was scary. “The first time I got hit, I laid there for 30 seconds thinking, ‘Am I OK?’” he admitted. “I was going through the checklist in my head. ‘Is everything in place? OK, up we go and let’s get back at it.’” Funk hasn’t had a full-blown heart attack in five years since, but every once in a while, his body lets him know that things will never quite be 100 per cent ever again. “After one of our first real hard conditioning practices (with the Huskers this past season), my heart just wouldn’t slow down,” Funk said. “It was just bumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbump and I got scared. It’s happened a couple times and I just say to myself, ‘It’s going to OK.’ The power of positive thinking gets me through.” Funk has coached for five years with the Grade 10 team at Abby Collegiate, so it’s not like he would be totally removed from the

game were he to stop playing. But that’s not good enough. “I absolutely love it,” he said with an ear-toear grin. “It’s a different feeling playing and coaching. I figure as long as I can play, I’m

not going to live my life scared.” Q Funk earned the BCFC’s Ron White Award for his football coaching and his work at the Abbotsford Youth Commission, where he supervises

drop-in sports and facilitates the Guys Alive program designed to

promote an anti-bullying message and build self-esteem.

A ffunerall iis a ceremony for and honoring honoring,theinlifea celebrating and special way, thewho life ofhas the passed person of the person who away.has passed away. Funeral customs comprise complex of complexbeliefs, beliefs, rituals rituals and practices used by a culture to remember the person who has died. Funeral customs are different between cultures, and religious afﬁliations within those cultures. Ethnocentric thinking is important when making funeral arrangements. We want to understand and respect cultural diversity. In the Indo-Canadian culture, on the day of the funeral service, the immediate family arrives before the extended family and friends at the funeral home or place of service. This provides a climate of mourning and expression of their grief. It also provides a central gathering place for family and friends who give

emotional support to each other. The priest arrives from the Gurdwara (Sikh temple) and performs the service. Usually a fifteen minute Japji Sahib Prayer is read followed by a brief history of the deceased. Then family members will have a eulogy presentation followed by a DVD tribute expressing the life of their loved one. The priest then offers Ardas; the final prayer to seek salvation of the departed soul. Following this prayer, the entire congregation walks up to the casket for viewing and pays their last respects to the deceased. This helps confirm the reality and finality of death. After all close family members have said their final goodbyes the casket is closed and taken to the crematorium for cremation of the body.

Location, location, location Michele BURLES FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising

There is a famous expression in the real estate industry in the United States that is probably true where you live too. The expression is “location, location, location!” It means that often the value of property – or the success of a business – is determined by where it is located. As a student, location is important to you too – especially if you want to study for a career in Art & Design. Why? Because you will want to get the best learning experience possible to do well in your career, and location makes a difference. As a student, there are several ways you can learn, and all of them are necessary for you to reach your career goal. Some learning happens in the classroom, listening to your instructor, discussing with your classmates, and working on projects either by yourself or as part of a team. Other learning occurs outside of the classroom, when you are studying on your own or with a group. There is a third type of learning that is essential if your dream is to have a successful career in some part of the applied arts – for example, Fashion Design, Interior Design, Graphic Design, Visual Communications, Digital Media, Jewelry Design, Textile Design, Theatre Costume Design, Footwear Design, or Film & Television Costume Design. California is a terrific place to study for a career in Art & Design because of significant reasons that will give you an advantage when you begin your career. California has the seventh largest econo-

my in the world, more than $1.5 trillion, with many of the fastest-growing companies. California’s geographic position is a big plus. It is on the Paciﬁc Rim, the center of apparel manufacturing in the world. Los Angeles, the number one apparel manufacturing center in the United States, is the capital, with three times as many women’s wear establishments (and women’s wear employees) as New York

now international fashion trendsetters. The enormous number of television and movie studios, production companies, theatres, design showrooms, and apparel manufacturers means thousands of opportunities in Los Angeles for Fashion Designers, Stylists, Set Designers, Interior Designers, and Graphic/Digital Media Designers. It is easier for young designers to get attention in Los Angeles than

City. Los Angeles also has the vital access to seaports and airports that is needed for the distribution of merchandise. In addition, Los Angeles dominates the Entertainment, Retail, Manufacturing, Digital Media, Interior Design and Graphic Design industries. Today, fashion is very closely connected with the entertainment industry. Los Angeles (Hollywood) is the entertainment capital of the world, and movie stars and other celebrities are

in New York because the industry here is less structured. While Los Angeles is the leader, other regions of California also have strong fashion industries: San Francisco is the third largest apparel manufacturing center in the United States. It is the headquarters for Bebe, Gap Inc. (Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy) and Levi-Strauss & Co. (Levi’s, Dockers), the world’s #1 clothing manufacturer. San

Francisco, “The City by the Bay,” also has over 13,000 retail establishments. Orange County is the home of some of the United States’ major retailers and biggest sportswear manufacturers, including surf brands such as Roxy, Billabong, Quiksilver, and Oakley. Many entertainment and interior design companies are also based in Orange County. San Diego is California’s second-largest city and the seventh largest in the United States. New trade agreements are attracting global apparel manufacturers to San Diego. In addition, there are golf, skate, surf, and snow apparel companies – and Mexico is close by! In California, you will have exposure to a vast number of career possibilities. It takes a whole team of talented, skilled professionals behind any project to take it from concept to completion, whether the project is a line of clothing, motion picture special eﬀects, or the interior of a hotel. The more you learn about the careers, the better you’ll be able to decide which one is for you… which one is a good match for your skills, abilities, and passion… which one will give you the chance to do what you love – and be paid for it! California is a state where trends begin, creativity is rewarded, and careers are made. So if you want to experience the excitement and stimulation of studying in a “living laboratory” where your learning opportunities go beyond the classroom, and if you want to be in an environment that will give you the most beneﬁts for studying and building your Art & Design career, then California is the place for you to be!

Tourism attractions reward their workers as well as their visitors Robin BRUNET go2

As more and more visitors discover British Columbia, the bigger and more dynamic the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism industry becomes. As a whole, BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism industry now employs nearly 129,000 people, and the recreation and entertainment area is a growing sector. Activities here include adventures ranging from mountaineering to kayaking, skiing to scuba diving and much more. But within this sector thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an area known as visitor attractions, which oďŹ&#x20AC;er a fantastic array of jobs, with a labour demand projected to be 8,000 workers by 2015. Visitor attractions can be cultural or historic sites, botanical gardens, zoos or even museums. Of course, the great outdoors arguably remains the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandest tourism attraction, and the job opportunities there are almost too numerous to list. Like any business, attractions have conventional positions in such areas as marketing and accounting, while also calling on specialized skills and education for positions like heritage interpreter or curator. In other words, the sector presents opportunities galore. Opportunities abound in businesses like Minter Gardens near Chilliwack, BC, for those with a genuine passion for all things green. Visitors from around the world come to appreciate this 32-acre, familyowned venue for its kaleidoscope of ďŹ&#x201A;oral variety, a source of inspiration for gardeners both amateur and professional. By nature, Minter Gardens is a seasonal business, and because it combines a tourism venue, a retail outlet and an events

destination (particularly for weddings and banquets), something is always happening somewhere on site. The company is an ideal employer for young job seekers who thrive in a fast-paced environment, love to learn, and can work both independently and as part of a team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each season there are friends and family members of team members who apply for jobs,â&#x20AC;? says Erin Minter, who handles marketing and administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friends or not, we weigh all candidates evenly across the board based on knowledge, skills and abilities. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpful when existing team members recommend those who have an interest in our ďŹ elds of tourism, horticulture and hospitality.â&#x20AC;? The most common positions to be had are in the garden maintenance area and in Minterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant and banquet operations. In the latter, says Minter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a progression from entry-level positions like ice cream scooping to cafe server, banquet server and, potentially, to banquet captain.â&#x20AC;? Moreover, there can be a crossover of duties for those who demonstrate initiative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gift shop team members help out with banquet serving or custodial work, grounds maintenance team members also do custodial or the occasional gift shop shift, etc.,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great when we have candidates who enjoy variety and have the skill set for diďŹ&#x20AC;erent roles.â&#x20AC;? Arguably the best part about working for a family-run tourism destination is that newcomers are well cared for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Training is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;on the jobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with our more senior team members training new hires, but all team members pitch in to make them feel welcome and answer questions about their new role and tasks,â&#x20AC;? says Minter.

An education in culinary arts will give you a solid foundation Chef Julian BOND Paciﬁc Institute of Culinary Arts

A cook’s role is dynamic, requiring an understanding of the logistics of a working kitchen beyond just peeling carrots. If you are considering a career as a cook, there are generally two ways to get started: train under a professional chef (hoping to apprentice) OR invest in a formal culinary education. Aspiring chefs who think that culinary school might not be the most eﬃcient way to spend their time and money should think twice. Natural talent and a steady resolve alone may get you past entry level positions in a successful hotel or restaurant kitchen, nonetheless, is this the best route? It can be argued that the necessary skill-sets are gained but whose skill set are they? A single chef’s no doubt, and maybe one who is focused more on the bottom line than mentoring or only interested in sharing whatever type of cuisine the host restaurant or hotel has donned as its signature. Don’t get me wrong, there are many chefs in the industry who are excellent mentors but culinary school faculties generally hold a gamut of backgrounds and experiences that map the globe — the key here is that you will be mentored under a TEAM of professionally trained chefs, not just one individual. I call this, the ‘AAAAH!’ moment for most potential students. Young cooks should make sure that they are opening many doors when starting in their new career – not pigeon-holing themselves into a single style of training

and experience. By attending a culinary school, you can expect to gain experience and insight in a number of culinary industry aspects, and not just by one chef or in one type of food service style. Add to this, the opportunity to network with industry chefs and future colleagues and the additional courses in business management, marketing and wine education that culinary schools oﬀer and you’ll have both the culinary skills and business savvy needed to have the best chance at success — whether your goal is to work your way up the ranks of a hotel or eventually nurture your entrepreneurial spirit with an establishment of your own. A good friend of mine and well-known Vancouver chef once spoke at a culinary student graduation and used this analogy to express his thoughts on obtaining formal training: “The pyramids of Egypt have stood the test of time. The reason why these pyramids are still around today is that they have strong and solid foundations… a Culinary school education is like the foundation of those pyramids… it holds up your career so that you can go out and build your own pyramid whether big or small”. My point is that you can stand tall or fall back on, when necessary, a solid education foundation whether you’re thinking of becoming a chef at a restaurant, hotel, or many of the other opportunities that a cook could pursue. A culinary school will have the expertise and the services to help prepare you to achieve your goals and aspirations!
