Heat shortfall hits $1.76M in year three Hockey attendance lags despite extra ‘big city’ marketing efforts Dan KINVIG and Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford Heat will cost taxpayers $1.76 million for the 2011/12 season. The city will pay the American Hockey League club that amount to cover its financial shortfall in the third year of a 10year supply fee agreement, which guarantees the Heat annual break-even revenue of $5.7 million to play out of the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC).
Over the last three seasons, the city has paid the Heat a total of $3.58 million. The deficit was $450,000 in 2009/10, and $1.37 million in 2010/11. “We’re certainly concerned that we are not making the progress that we had hoped to make,” said city manager Frank Pizzuto. “Year one was a $450,000 loss, and we felt that, well, that was year one. Year two got worse and we heard that year three
would rebound and it hasn’t,” he said. “Obviously, the city can’t continue to absorb these losses.” The Heat’s 2011/12 revenues were $3.9 million, as average attendance declined for a third consecutive year – from 3,897 per game to 3,807, and 3,545 last season. The team is owned by the Calgary Flames, and operated locally by Fraser Valley Sports and Entertainment (FVSE),

Attendance at Heat games has declined since the AHL team came to Abbotsford three years ago, however, numbers this fall are up over last season, says local team investor Lane Sweeting.
Sweeting: It’s going to work
From A1
which includes businessmen Lane Sweeting, Barry Marsden, Ron McNeil and Fred Strumpski. Sweeting said this year’s deficit was the result of shortfalls in ticketing and commercial sales. Sweeting said his FVSE group spent an additional $950,000 of their own funds last season – in addition to the $5.7-million budget guaranteed by the city – in an effort to boost attendance. Those funds went to an expanded marketing campaign including “TV and radio in the big city,” and salaries for more salespeople. With that investment yielding few dividends, the Heat have trimmed their budget back to the core $5.7 million for 2012/13. “Last year we said, ‘Let’s make sure it’s not marketing that’s causing us not to fill the seats,’” Sweeting said. “And we found out it didn’t matter.” Asked to pinpoint reasons for the lack of growth, Sweeting mentioned a series of persistent issues. The Heat’s home schedule consists of back-to-back games, and few fans can attend both on a weekend. Then there’s the team’s less-thanpopular affiliation with the Flames, a division rival of the Vancouver Canucks, and lingering public dissatisfaction with the decision to build the AESC and the supply fee deal with the Heat. Introducing AHL hockey in a new market has also
proven a tougher sell than cause the city fiscal year is anticipated.

going forward, beginning with the ongoing NHL lockout. The big-league labour unrest has shone a brighter light on the Heat, and Sweeting is hopeful the increased exposure will help build a foundation for longterm gains. The franchise is showing signs of growth this fall, according to team president Ryan Walter. The renewal rate for full season tickets is 83 per cent, whereas in previous years it had never hit the 70 per cent mark. Just four home games into the regular season, sales of flex packages are already past half the budgeted revenue for 2012-13. The team has also moved more group tickets at this point than they did in the entire 2009-10 season. “At the end of the day, the (2011/12 deficit) number is reality. But I still believe with all my heart that it can work in Abbotsford. We’re trending in a good way this year,” Walter said. The team, in an effort to get more families into the rink, has cut its lowest ticket price from $20 to $15. “It’s going to work, because we believe it’s a good product at a good price in a good venue...” Sweeting maintained. “We’re seeing a growth this year – we’re ahead of where we were last year, which we’re excited about. “If we can show growth, it calms everybody down. The day the city stops cutting cheques, every issue goes away.”

Patient Testimonial
Ten years ago, I decided to have a dental implant rather than a bridge. Bridges can be hard to clean and can break down over time. I made an appointment with Dr. Lui and found the implant procedure virtually painless. My dental implant was problem free so, five years later, I had another implant placed by Dr. Lui. I have no discomfort, I can eat anything and the implants are easy to brush - just like normal teeth! I have complete confidence in Dr. Lui. His rates are fair and I know he keeps up-to-date with the latest technology and equipment. I highly recommend Dr. Lui to anyone considering having tooth replacement with a dental implant.

Bus fares will be rising by 50 cents in Abbotsford and Mission. That’s close to a 30 per cent increase for adults. Seniors and student fares are going up by 25 cents (about 15 per cent). Adult monthly passes will now be $52 from $45,
college student passes rise to $42 from $36 and senior passes goes from $36 to $38. Kids passes are now $35 instead of $30. The increase was recommended by the Abbotsford Mission Transit Committee and eventually passed by both councils.

WebTalk Celebrating Halloween
QUESTION
OF THE WEEK
Are you more likely to attend a Heat game this season due to the NHL lockout?
I see Halloween as a day of evil. There are some cute costumes for children and youth. But for the majority I see a lot of death, and costumes from tv or movies that portray death or plastic weapons with or without blood on it. Bruce Parker
To answer, go to abbynews.com
I dress my kids up as weird as they are willing... blood and guts. They love it, I love it, people love their costumes and everyone has fun. If dressing up in a costume turns a kid to the “dark side,” then that kid was already broken. Meghann Coughlan
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Have you ever been a victim of bullying?
We celebrate by taking my toddler out trick or treating. It’s so much fun watching him. Ashley Daignault
183 responded:
No, I definitely do not celebrate Halloween, however, I give out candy because I love kids and Jesus loves kids! Lydia Harder

My two regular partners both have about a half a foot in height, and 50 pounds of muscle mass over me. Now it’s just a matter of a friendly “Fetch!” There are still occasions when brute force trumps technology. There is one thing about the great outdoors that science has never improved upon, nor should it. And on one of my recent trips, I must say, I sorely missed this particular aspect. Due to extremely dry conditions, we had to pass on a camp fire. If you love the outdoors, you know that an evening fire is integral to the experience. There is just nothing like the penetrating warmth, and the swirling colours of a wood blaze. Sometimes, the simplest things are best.

letters Concrete barrier could have prevented fatal head-on I am writing in regard to the Oct. 15 fatal head-on crash on the Highway 11 bypass. The only place on Abbotsford-Mission Highway that a person can now be killed or crippled in a head-on collision is up and down the bypass in Abbotsford. Until 2005, the only other place was on the Mission Bridge, then it was made safer. The basic problem and the solution
are the same – place a concrete median barrier between the yellow lines. The barrier should have been installed as late as 2003. The reason the Chilliwack woman was killed because the out-of-control van did not bounce off a median barrier and redirect back into its own lane. Instead it crossed the median. If there was a barrier on that route, the woman would still be with us. This fatality was totally preventable.
Pumpkins Accepted in Yard Waste
Don’t have space in your backyard composter for your JackO-Lantern? You can still keep pumpkins out of the landfill by placing them in your yard waste container along with leaves, grass and fallen fruit. When setting your pumpkin in your yard waste container, remember the following: • remove all candles; • remove any non-organic decorations, such as any plastics or metal; and • place in your re-usable yard waste container, not into a Kraft paper bag. Pumpkins can also be taken to the Net Zero Waste Abbotsford Composting Facility where they will be accepted at no charge. The facility is located at 5050 Gladwin Road.

People need to ask the highways department why there is no barrier on that stretch of road. Ask whether a barrier on the bypass portion of Highway 11 is warranted, and given recent events, ask about the likelihood that in the near future a barrier will be installed to make certain no further head-on collision casualties occur on that stretch of road again. People also need to ask local elected

NEW CurBside ComPost ColleCtioN Program
2013
For all homes in abbotsford currently receiving curbside collection
coming in
Program information is being delivered door-to-door during the month of November. Watch for our community information booths at local retail facilities.
New collection schedule starts January 1, 2013 Compostables Weekly
Recyclables Weekly
Garbage Bi-Weekly
FAQs about the new Compost Collection Program Why is the City introducing this program?
The City needs to reduce the amount of garbage we take to the landfill. Tipping and disposal rates for garbage increase every year. Reducing the amount of garbage we dump reduces our operating costs and is better for the environment, too. Many other lower mainland communities already have similar programs in place.
When does the curbside compostable collection program start?
The program starts January 1, 2013. Your first collection day will be determined by the collection schedule that will be delivered in December 2012.
What is accepted in the curbside compostable can? • Yard waste, including grass & branches • All food scraps, including meat, bones, fruit & vegetables • Food contaminated paper towel, tissues & pizza boxes absolutely no glass, plastics, metals or diapers are accepted.
Where do i get a compostable waste container?
Containers can be purchased at most hardware stores. Any waste container under 80 L in size with a functional lid and two handles is acceptable for curbside collection. Place a yard waste or compostable waste sticker on the container. Food waste can be placed in the container you currently put your yard waste in. The yard waste sticker is also acceptable for compostable collection.
How many containers may i place out for collection? You can place an unlimited number of compostable waste containers out for collection, within reason.
How often will my compost container be collected?
Your compostable waste container will be emptied once a week on your regularly scheduled collection day, along with recyclables.
If you have more than three containers, you will need to purchase an extra garbage sticker from City Hall, Matsqui or Abbotsford Recreation Centres.
Where does my food and yard waste go after pickup?
Your food and yard waste will be taken to the new hi-tech compost facility located at 5050 Gladwin Road, where it will be made into high quality growing soils. This site is also the new residential yard waste drop-off location. Call 604-557-7065 for more information.
Where can i get more information about the program?
By early December, a kitchen compost pail, a new collection handbook and additional information will be delivered to your home. Information is also available on the website at www.abbotsford.ca /curbsidecompost or through the Engineering Department at 604-864-5514.
When will my garbage be collected? Garbage pickup will change to once every two weeks. Up to three garbage containers will be collected on your collection day.

Abbotsford is taking another look at its tree protection bylaw. Residents of Sumas Mountain who attended a town hall meeting last week were told that the bylaw is under review and could soon be changed to exclude the rural areas. Currently, the bylaw requires residents to acquire a tree-cutting permit. Trees located on Agricultural Reserve Land (ALR) are exempt. “This was an urban tree bylaw that does not work well in the rural areas,” said Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman. He said there are more trees on Sumas Mountain now than 40 years ago, and the bylaw is “getting in the way of people trying to maintain their properties.” Staff have made a recommendation that the bylaw could be changed to exclude rural areas, such as Sumas Mountain. This issue has yet to go before council, which would need to approve any bylaw changes. The city has been hosting periodic public meetings with mountain residents since 2008 when Area H amalgamated with the city. The purpose is to allow residents to voice concerns regarding everything from taxation to gravel trucks to the city’s environmental plan for the area, which may be on hold. “Development is not going to happen on Sumas Mountain for many, many years,’ said Banman. With that in mind, city staff has recommended that the city puts a halt to the environmental plan for now. That issue will also be sent back to council.

Red Nose volunteers encouraged
While new regulations for volunteer background checks have added some red tape to the process, Operation Red Nose and the Abbotsford Police are letting potential volunteers know they shouldn’t be discouraged. Local non-profit sport organization, PacificSport Fraser Valley is preparing to host the seasonal safe-ride-home program for the 17th consecutive year in Abbotsford and Mission. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the new process adds some additional pages to be filled out for those volunteers who may be in contact with children, the elderly, disabled persons or other potentially vulnerable contacts. This includes ORN drivers. The $27 cost of the background checks for ORN’s volunteers is still covered by the APD, which values the work of ORN. “The Abbotsford Police Department is a
huge supporter of Operation Red Nose,” said Const. Ian MacDonald. “We appreciate the amazing commitment made by the numerous volunteers who work to keep our community safe during the holiday season. Giving people an opportunity to celebrate with friends and family and to have their vehicle driven home by a sober driver is not just a great option; it is a priceless contribution to the safety of our roadways.” The Operation Red Nose service is offered on nine evenings this season: Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22 & 31. That amounts to an estimated 600 volunteer shifts that need to be filled. To volunteer as a driver, navigator or phone operators please call 604-746-0601, email Abbotsford-mission@operationrednose.com or download the volunteer application package from www.pacificsportfraservalley.com.

Using Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story as inspiration, culturally and socially diverse youth in collaboration with professional artists created this original hip hop musical. In this thought provoking work, young performers will portray rivaling Kutz (alley cats) and Dawgs (junkyard dogs) in a cautionary tale that explores the destructive force of gangs. Dubbed ‘Glee with grit,’ MISCELLANEOUS Productions creates innovative artistic opportunities for youth. WARNING: Simulated violence. This play is suitable for ages 9 and older.

Golfer Lepp seeks his Big Break Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Four years ago, James Lepp took stock of his waning passion for golf and surprised observers of the sport by transitioning into the business world. These days, his rekindled love for the game is being broadcast
for all to see. The 28-year-old Abbotsford native is one of the stars of Big Break Greenbrier, a reality show that airs Tuesday nights on the Golf Channel. Lepp was one of 12 golfers cast for the show, which was taped in June and sees players compete in a variety of elimination
challenges each episode. Up for grabs is a prize package which includes an exemption into the PGA Tour’s 2013 Greenbrier Classic, and $50,000 cash. Through five episodes of the 11-show season, Lepp is still in the running. “It’s been pretty fun,” Lepp Continued on A26

CBC hoopsters open at home Lepp loving the game again
From A25
year’s, but as long as we keep getting wins, it’s OK.” Ford, a 24-year-old from Kent, Wash., is truly a special talent, according to Bearcats coach Dave Martens. “His greatest skill is in his toughness and his ability to be strong on the ball,” Martens said of his 6’0” floor general. “The only way you can stop him is usually by sending two or three guys at him. He also has an ability to see the floor and make passes to open guys, and now we’ve got the talent around him to finish those shots.” Martens noted that with the likes of Juk and Naylor around, Ford needn’t feel the burden to score on every single possession.
CBC’s newfound depth also means Ford can take the occasional breather, rather than playing the heavy minutes he did last season. After last year’s struggles, the Bearcats are quietly confident they’re poised to challenge for a playoff berth. “Last year, we were in some games in the fourth quarter, and then we’d fall short,” Ford noted. “That was due to inexperience or competitiveness. But this team has all of that. Not only are we going to be in every game this year, I think we’re going . . . surprise a lot of people.” n The CBC hoopsters open the regular season at home vs. the Kwantlen Eagles on Friday (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m.).
From A25
said following last Tuesday’s episode. “I like watching the show, because I love how they produce it. You’re never sure . . . exactly what they’ll put in that I’ve done or said.” Lepp’s sparkling amateur career included a pair of national junior championships (2001-02) and three straight RCGA order of merit titles (2003-05). His signature victory came in 2005, when he became the first Canadian to win the NCAA Div. 1 title. After turning pro in 2006, Lepp had some solid results on the Canadian Tour, but when consistency proved elusive, he shifted his focus to launching Kikkor Golf, a shoe and apparel company. “I think deep down, I love golf a lot,” Lepp
said, reflecting on the decision to rev up his playing career again. “I love it so much that when I wasn’t getting better at it, it made me not want to play. “It’s like a relationship gone bad. You keep putting time into it and you don’t get anything back, and eventually you’re like, ‘This is just frustrating,’ and you walk away.” Beyond Big Break Greenbrier, Lepp’s participation in the first stage of PGA Q-School last week signals his renewed spark for the game. He fell short of advancing. “I’ve got lots of time now to figure out what I want to do, golf-wise,” he noted. Twitter users can support Lepp by tweeting #JamesBB, which counts as a vote in the Big Break fan favourite contest. For more with Lepp, visit abbynews.com

Angels fall to Triumph, but still headed to Lingerie Bowl
The BC Angels, Abbotsford’s Lingerie Football League Canada team, lost 22-8 to the Toronto Triumph in its regular season finale on Saturday. But they’ll still play in the inaugural Lingerie Bowl – a product of their 2-2 record, which leaves
them in second place in the four-team league. They’ll take on the firstplace Saskatoon Sirens (3-1) on Saturday, Nov. 17 at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (8 p.m. kickoff). The Angels had already locked up a Lingerie
Bowl berth heading into the Toronto game, since they owned the head-tohead tiebreaker with the Regina Rage, who also ended up finishing 2-2. As such, head coach
SALE
Kevin Snell was less concerned with the final score – he used the game to experiment with some new plays, and gave his backups more playing time. “That’s not what we’ll
be bringing to the table for the national final,” he said, pointing out that star running back Stephanie Manou only got four carries vs. Toronto. “We’ve got a lot of core plays we’re really good at, so we tried to incorporate some new stuff.” The Angels’ lone touch-
down came on a 50-yard interception return by free safety Jessica Hopkins. The Lingerie Bowl was originally scheduled for Nov. 18, but the date was changed so as not to conflict with the CFL’s Western Final, which will be hosted by the B.C. Lions at BC Place.

The Cascades swept the Capilano Blues on the road, winning in three sets on Friday and in four on Saturday. The Cascades men’s squad (1-5) were on the wrong end of a sweep vs. the Blues, falling in straight sets both nights. The Columbia Bible College women’s volleyballers, meanwhile, won both their weekend games with the Douglas Royals to move into third place in the PacWest standings at 3-3. The CBC men (2-4) fell twice in straight sets to the Royals.

BOSCHMAN, Rudy Rudy (RB) Boschman was born October 15, 1923 in Rosenort, Ukraine. When he was three years old, the family immigrated to Canada. He accepted Christ as his Saviour at the age of nine. His young life was spent in schooling, working on the family farm & involvement in the local church. In 1943 Rudy married his first love, Anne Klassen. Together they raised a family of four children. Rudy’s passions were music and evangelism, and he devoted his life to sharing the gospel with everyone he met. In 1986, his beloved wife passed away after a short battle with brain cancer. The following year, Rudy was blessed with a second love, and was married to Anne Janzen. Together they had many opportunities to travel and minister together. Rudy spent the last two years of his life in a care facility; first Bevan Lodge and most recently Menno Home. The family is deeply grateful to the wonderful staff who cared for him. On October 28, 2012 Rudy’s long awaited desire was realized, when he peacefully passed into the presence of his Lord & Saviour. He leaves to mourn his wife, Anne, his children Ed & Carol Boschman, Merv & Carol Boschman, Vange & Rick Falk, Viv & Ron Johnstone, 13 grandchildren & 14 great grandchildren. The Memorial Service will be held at Central Heights Church, 1661 McCallum Road, Abbotsford at 11 AM on Friday, November 2nd. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to MB Mission.

GRANT, Mary Anne (Yaki) Age 78, of Abbotsford and formerly of Aldergrove, passed away October, 21, 2012 due to complications from a brain tumor. Mary Anne was born on the farm near Sandwith, Saskatchewan to John & Selma Yaki. She is predeceased by her parents and sister Dorothy (Ed) Gasper. She is survived by brothers Stan (Mary) Yaki, Gus (Aileen) Yaki, sister-in-law Rae, and sister Margaret (Ralph) Weger. She was a devoted mother to sons Dean (Debi) and Daryl (Marj), a proud grandma to Stefani (Tyler), Carlee, Derek, Chantalle & Sean, and an affectionate greatgrandmother to Lincoln. Mary Anne received her nursing education in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and served as an R.N. across Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and later in BC at the Oakalla Prison Hospital (Burnaby), and Langley Memorial Hospital. She retired in 1991. She will be remembered for her baking, babysitting, home canning, and holiday meals. She was famous for getting a “good deal” & conscientiously recycling. Although she insisted she “didn’t need anything”, she was a cheerful consumer of Tim Hortons coffee. She was a generous giver of time and resources to family, friends, neighbours and charities. In her retirement, she loved to garden: her dahlias, roses, rhododendrons & geraniums were admired by many. The family would like to thank Liah (Tom) Luu, and the caring staff of the Menno Homes. At Mary Anne’s request, no service is planned. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at: www.MyAlternatives.ca

Hedwig (Hedi) W. Hedi passed away peacefully into the arms of her Saviour on October 26, 2012. Left to mourn her sudden passing is her loving husband Harry and their four children, Juergen (Carla), Petra (Ron) Donatelli, Jens (Linda) and Christine MacLeod along with twelve grandchildren, one great grandchild and another one due in January. She has her younger brother Jacob (Ingrid) Knieling in Munich plus nieces, nephews and extended family and friends in both Germany and in the States, and of course a good circle of friends in Abbotsford and surrounding area. Hedi was born in Stanislau, Poland on November 16, 1930, the first child of Jacob and Emma Knieling. The family was relocated to Germany after the war and she met her husband there. Hedi and Harry, her devoted husband of 55 years, were engaged in Germany and came to Canada, where they were married in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1957. The family then moved to Abbotsford in 1970. Many happy memories were made with friends camping, fishing and travelling South. Hedi enjoyed regular trips to Germany as well as vacation cruises with her husband Harry. She was involved as treasurer and other offices in Peace Lutheran Church, the AbbotsfordMission Alpen Club, singing in the church choir and also the Frasertal Choir. Hedi volunteered at church and in the community, such as Welcome Wagon and helping at Harry’s business, Valley Autohouse Ltd. as bookkeeper. But her favourite times were spent with family where she was the heart and soul, cooking for many and still finding the time to sit on the floor and play with her grandchildren. We want to thank the dedicated staff at Menno Home for the loving care they gave to Mom during the five months she was there. A memorial service be held on November 3rd at 10:30 at Peace Lutheran Church 2029 Ware Road in Abbotsford. In lieu of flowers donations would be appreciated to the Peace Lutheran Ladies.
