Hospice Society faces funding shortfall Completion of Holmberg House could be delayed Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The adult hospice under construction as part of the Campus of Care project in Abbotsford might have to delay its completion due to a current funding shortfall. David Turchen, chairman of the Abbotsford Hospice Society (AHS) board of directors, said $7 million has been raised so far to fund Holmberg House, but another $3.7 million is required to finish construction. About another $1.3 million is needed to fully furnish the facility and for other start-up costs. Turchen said some additional construction costs were incurred through design changes that were required “to optimize the functional space” of the Campus of Care. He said the funding shortfall won’t impact current construction, but will affect planning for the Phase Two completion of the project. He said it is hoped that Holmberg House can open in fall 2014. “We’re not worried … We want to finish, but it might mean the time frame will extend. We all want to get this done. We’re really excited about it.” Turchen commended the site’s donors and the community for its overwhelming support of AHS to date. “We have real faith in this community. It’s been very generous to us over the years.” Holmberg House is one of three projects under construction at the Dave JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News Lede Campus of Care on Marshall Road Patrick Giesbrecht, the contracted fundraiser for Phase 2 of Holmberg House, leads a recent tour of the site and

Cat burglary suspects charged Charges have been laid against two people in relation to a “cat burglary” that took place in Abbotsford in November. Beau Burgessihota, 20, and a young offender, who cannot be named due to provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, were arrested and charged after police executed two search warrants on Nov. 5 and 6. Abbotsford Police Const. Paul Walker said the search warrants turned up property that had been stolen from a recent cat burglary.

Burgessihota has been charged with break and enter, possession of stolen property, motor vehicle theft, and breaching his bail conditions. The youth was charged with break and enter. According to the provincial court database, Burgessihota is also facing three counts of uttering threats from June 2013 and another breach charge from July. Meanwhile, police continue to investigate three home break-ins that took place in September when the suspect(s)

entered the homes while the occupants were inside. In a fourth incident that month, the culprits were inside when the homeowner returned from work late at night. Among the items stolen were tools, cash, ID, electronics, a wallet and car keys. In one case, a Kia Sportage was stolen from one of the properties and was located a short distance away. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police at 604-8595225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Abbotsford International Airport is on track to net $2 million this year, which will be used for future growth projects, says the airport manager.

Abbotsford airport set to save for the future Alex BUTLER

2013 net income will likely be $2 million

Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford International Airport’s revenues are higher than projected this year, up to September, putting the airport on schedule to net $2 million in 2013. The airport’s financial performance report was presented to city council on Monday for review. Mike Pastro, the airport’s general manager, said he is pleased with this year’s performance. “We’re a very profitable organization. Our original mandate was that we should not be a burden on taxpayers… and I think we’ve more than accomplished that.” The airport is owned by the City of Abbotsford, while the management and operation is overseen by the Abbotsford

Airport Authority. The airport is proposing a “conservative” budget for 2014, assuming the airport will not see significant growth in the next few years or an expansion of service. The proposed 10-year capital plan is also conservative, which Pastro said is to build up funds for the future. “We’re going to be accumulating a strong reserve balance, which is going to be used for future growth opportunities and rehabilitation projects at the airport.” The airport is also planning to see little passenger growth, as its main commercial carrier WestJet has no plans to increase service at the airport. Currently, the airport is maintaining a steady level of about 500,000 passengers

a year. Pastro said the aerospace- and aviationrelated companies based at the airport – such as Cascade Aerospace, Conair Aviation and Chinook Helicopters – are also a boost to the airport and the local economy as they continue to expand their operations. “It’s a partnership. The better they do, we do, and we really believe that going forward, much of the growth is going to come from within.” Pastro said that the airport not only contributes as an economic generator for the Abbotsford region by providing jobs for 1,500 employees, but the airport also makes a direct contribution of $200,000 to the city.

Supportive housing proposal public meeting The proposal for a 20-unit supportive housing project for homeless men by Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) will be discussed at a public forum Friday evening. The forum will be held Nov. 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. in Building B, Room 101 at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford. The event will feature speakers Abbotsford South MLA Darryl

Plecas, Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, and representatives from BC Housing, ACS, the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association, the Abbotsford Christian Leaders Network and the Abbotsford Social Development Advisory Committee. The event will feature speeches by representatives and a 30-minute question and answer period.

Holmberg House will provide end-of-life care to people 19 years and older, as well as support services for their families. The idea is to provide a home-like setting for people nearing the end of their lives so they do not have to die in the clinical environment of a hospital, but where they can still easily access medical and support services.

Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) BC, based in Abbotsford, is collecting donations on behalf of the relief efforts in the Philippines, following the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan on Friday. MCC in Canada and the U.S. is providing an initial $50,000 to Church World Service, which is working with the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction Network to respond with urgent food and non-food items. Initially, this assistance is focusing on Surigao del Norte, Dinagat Island, Bohol and Samar, where MCC’s partners have access. MCC has also sent a 10-member team to Leyte Island, where thousands of people are believed to have perished in the typhoon. The monster storm hit landfall on six Philippine islands, leaving many without access to food and medical care. At least 800,000 people were displaced. As of Tuesday, the official death toll was nearing 1,800. Donations to MCC BC for the Philippine relief efforts can be made locally through the Abbotsford office, located at 31414 Marshall Rd. Call 604-850-6639 or visit bc.mcc.org for more information. Donations of items for hygiene and relief kits are also being collected. Several other national and international agencies are assisting with relief efforts, including the Red Cross, UNICEF, Save the Children and World Vision. The Canadian government has said it will match donations made to registered Canadian charities.

Grand opening event Jason ROESSLE Abbotsford News

Excitement is building for what organizers are striving to make the stand-out Christmas event in Abbotsford this year. The recently completed Highstreet shopping centre is located on Mt. Lehman Road just off Highway 1, and the 600,000-sq.ft. open-air shopping centre is aiming to wow everyone with their Christmas celebration, Holiday at Highstreet, and official grand opening, kicking off on Nov. 30. â€œPart of our thinking was letâ€™s do some signature events really, really well,â€? said Darren Kwiatkowski, executive vice-president of Shape Properties, the development company which built Highstreet. Attention to detail is key for Highstreet, and one of the event organizers, marketing director Tanya Curtis, said a small team of about five people has been working to ensure every point is perfect. One of the key features will be a 65-foot Christmas tree â€“ similar to the one erected annually in New Yorkâ€™s Rockefeller Center â€“ complete with 6,000 LED lights capable of putting on a light show. The inaugural lighting will happen Nov. 30 at 5 p.m., complete with a parade around the upper podium deck, showcasing Santa Claus brought in on a horse-drawn carriage, an 80-piece marching band, and snow-making machines. Santa Clausâ€™ suit has been crafted by the same artist who created the suit for Tim Allen in the 1994 movie The Santa Clause, along with richly detailed buttons and custom-made leather boots. Santa will be available to hear childrenâ€™s Christmas wishes from within the cozy confines of a giant, oversized Christmas present. â€œEveryone can have their own moment with Santa,â€? said Curtis. And there will be no line-ups either, said Kwiatkowski. A smartphone application has been created that will allow you to set up a time for your visit, and it will alert you when Santa is ready. Curtis said this will be a month-long event, with the parade and light show happening every Saturday at 3 and 5 p.m. leading up to Christmas. â€œWeâ€™ve partnered with those whoâ€™ve put on huge events,â€? said Kwiatkowski, such as the Squamish Music Festival and Vancouverâ€™s Celebration of Light. â€œPeople wonâ€™t be disappointed,â€? he said. â€œThis event will live up to the hype.â€?

Blanket drive

The annual Realtors Care Blanket Drive is scheduled one week earlier this year to help as many people as possible in advance of the holidays. The event is scheduled this year from Nov. 18-25.

Pepper spraying draws charges Student also suspended after incident at Abbotsford Senior A 17-year-old student has been charged with mischief, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and assault with a weapon, after releasing pepper spray in the atrium of Abbotsford Senior Secondary School last Thursday. A handful of students had asthmatic reactions after the student released the pepper spray during the lunch break. One student was taken to hospital for decontamination following the incident, but no students sustained any injuries. The school then contacted Abbotsford Police and ambulance, and the suspect was arrested. According to Dave Stephen, communications manager for the school district, the school’s emergency fan system was quickly turned on and the air was replaced in short order. Stephen said following Thursday’s incident, the

district was made aware of a previous release of pepper spray at the school in October, but that was quickly contained to a stairwell and did not impact students. In addition to facing charges, the student has been suspended and will go to the district’s board of review within weeks to discuss the potential for further disciplinary action. Stephen said the incident is being taken very seriously, as releasing pepper spray could negatively impact the health of students and staff. “There are pranks and then there are more serious incidents. If someone thought this was a prank, they are seriously misguided.” Posts on social media suggest there was a recent pepper spray incident at W.J. Mouat Secondary, although Stephen did not have details.

B.C. Winter Games torch lighting takes place Saturday in Mission A torch lighting Saturday will mark 100 days until the start of the B.C. Winter Games, which are coming to Mission from Feb. 20-23. Residents are invited for a sneak-peek of the games to watch the Mission Skating Club perform a choreographed routine at the Leisure Centre north arena on Nov. 16.

Former Olympic speed skater and Mission resident Eden Donatelli-Green will do the honours of bringing the flame onto the ice to light the six-foot-high torch. A 12-foot LED torch – currently in the Leisure Centre lobby – will also be lit on Nov. 16. Both will remain glowing until the games. Prior to the official hour-long

program at 2:30 p.m., there will be free hot dogs and drinks, along with introductory remarks starting at 1 p.m. Participants from across the province will compete in 18 sports. Events will be mainly in Mission, but also in Hemlock, Whistler, the Township of Langley, and Abbotsford.

:H·YH VHHQ WKH OLJKW Lighting retroﬁts at Matsqui Recreation Centre, the Abbotsford International Airport, TRADEX and the Abbotsford Curling rink have resulted in signiﬁcant cost savings and saved enough power to light up 75 Abbotsford homes for a year.

QUESTION

WebTalk

OF THE WEEK Do you support the concept of being able to buy beer and wine at grocery stores in B.C.?

Woman’s final wish While I support the people’s right to die by what has been so commonly referred to as “doctor-assisted suicide” in specific cases, this case steps way beyond that. This case is about taking the rights of someone from choosing to partake in it – the caregivers. Margaret Bentley’s husband and daughter may have her wishes in thought, but the caregivers at the home are not doctors nor should they be asked, let alone forced to idly sit by and watch, allow, and be responsible for the passing of Margaret. Robert Kleisinger

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Do you approve of fining those responsible for false alarms and hazardous material spills?

Oh, so sad. As long as there is a beating heart, there is life, there is a person in there with feeling. Dayna Chandler

147 responded:

If they feel so strongly about it they should be the ones to take her home and care for her and follow her wishes. Why put this on somebody else? Tammy Iserhoff

YES: 85 % NO: 15 %

Living without ‘the device’ Andrew

Holota

On Point Imagine a dark place. Silent. You are alone with your thoughts. There is no communication with the outside world. You are in a void. Your hands are empty. You reach out, but there is nothing to grasp. Is it a nightmare? A dungeon? An illness of the mind? A tumble into another dimension? Nope. Teen daughter lost her iPhone. To be totally accurate, she didn’t “lose” it. Some young cretin stole it. Nevertheless, the outcome and impact is the same. Her connection to life is cut – life with a cell phone, that is. It’s not a pleasant thing

to watch. Panic. Depression. Fear. Outbursts of anger. Sadness. You’d think she lost a best friend or something. In fact, I suggested that it could be worse. She could have, like, broken an arm or something. This is worse, she said. Actually, she was kidding. As difficult as it may be to comprehend for someone who has not lived through mobile device separation, it is survivable. In fact, if you keep an open mind, it’s quite a freeing experience. You have time to concentrate on something – anything – for more than a few moments, instead of constantly reading and responding to texts or tweets or twitspeak. My kid belongs to a group chat, involving 20-plus girls. Now, put two dozen girls – all friends – in a room, without their cell phones, and try to monitor the multi-

layered machine-gun conversations. Now imagine all that streaming conciousness funnelled through a mobile device 24/7. OK, maybe 18/7. Frankly, I have no clue how my teen manages to accomplish what she does in that maelstrom of idle digital dialogue. If I had that level of text traffic on my iPhone, I’d drive a pen through its black little heart. OK, I concede a point here. How could you possibly live without knowing that (insert a name here) has broken up with (insert another name here) or that (insert name here) is having a party on such and such a date. Was that being facetious? Perhaps a little. Besides, there’s also the apparently outdated Facebook to communicate through. Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess. In fact, the other night someone called her. On the phone! How retro! My teen is not unique, although I would

I have no clue how my teen manages to accomplish what she does in that maelstrom of digital dialogue.

argue otherwise if ever challenged, and I’d also add that’s she’s probably at the top percentile of the teens you’d wish for as a parent, were we ever given forms to fill out before we became parents. And wouldn’t that be a wonderful idea? Why do we allow some people to become parents at all? There are some who are bloody awful at it. In fact, they act as if they don’t want to be parents at all. However, I digress. Have we become so beholden to these devices that we can’t have conversations without texting? Is there no motivation left to communicate your thoughts, your identity, or even your activities, without these devices? Think for a moment… about something so far-fetched as “an earthquake” in which everything we know as familiar in terms of electricity and telecommunications crumbles. Micro case in point, the loss of a cell phone, albeit replaced by other digital means. But if that’s no longer available? What then? We start to talk to one another. Strange concept. Strange day….

letters Test transit with buses first

A fun fitness challenge

route requires an extra 12 kilometres than the Trans-Canada Highway. So if rail is to compete on a time basis with the freeway where buses can travel at 100 km/h, the trains would have travel at 120 km/h. To upgrade the railway to a safe standard for those speeds would require hundreds of millions of dollars. I will be first say that I want rail transit connect Abbotsford east to Chilliwack and west to Surrey. I enjoy riding rail and I still see its future in the Fraser Valley about 20 to 30 years from now on a more direct line than the Southern Railway of BC route. But I am also a realist and know that it is better start with buses that can be run on annual budget of under $2 million or the equivalent of two or three yet to be purchased railcars. Still I admire the hard work and dedication the folks at the Rail for the Valley have. But we need affordable and real transportation solutions that be up and working tomorrow instead of costing of millions of dollars and taking five or so years to install. Ken Wuschke Abbotsford

“It’s light rail or nothing.” That is the constant refrain from the Rail for the Valley group. Sadly, installing rail before testing the market with buses might lead to another white elephant that the people of Abbotsford and Fraser Valley can ill afford right now. Before you invest in rail equipment, platforms, bus-and-rail interchange points, fare machines, and so on, it is better test a new route with a smaller investment in buses. Certainly, this is model that is used in transit operations throughout North America. Just for the most basic of stations, you are looking at $500,000 to meet Transport Canada regulations, as well as outfitting them with basic shelters and other amenities. And most railcars start at $1,000,000. This all before you hire and train the staff to run the equipment. Also the Southern Railway of BC route was built in 1910 and ambled across the Fraser Valley going around the long drained Sumas Lake. After Sumas Lake was drained more direct highways were put in place. In fact to travel between Trinity Western University and Chilliwack via the Southern of BC

letters

A mockery of the process Re: Vicarro Ranch development As reported in the news, I along with others took the opportunity to express concerns about this large residential development, especially its negative impact on a beautiful area, home to many threatened species. So, I want to publicly express my disappointment, that before we were hardly out the building a unanimous vote was taken and the project approved. To whose benefit? Not the city, as I learned at another development’s open house chaired by Carson Noftle. I was told that it costs the city for each single family home built. Since cost development charges don’t appear to provide for all the added costs for sewer, water, storm, schools, parks, garbage, police, fire, etc., tax increases will follow. So, who benefits? Not the environment, for regardless of protected areas and stream setbacks, these areas often are too small to sustain a healthy population of species over time, especially when not connected by adequate corridors to the larger natural green

spaces. The message is quite clear that though the city provided the legally required opportunity for community input, in the end all the concerns expressed, along with copies given to staff, did not warrant further discussion or second thought. Given many developers habit to name their development after the soon to be extirpated species from the area to be developed such as Eagle Mountain, Falcon Ridge, etc., using the same logic I have some street name suggestions: Phantom Orchid Boulevard, Mountain Beaver Avenue, Pacific Waterleaf Street, Red-Legged Frog Drive, Peregrine Falcon Road, etc. etc. My suggestion to the city is that if it values citizen input it ought to at least give careful consideration to input, given otherwise they make a mockery of the process. But more importantly, unless the city’s vision is not limited to a growth strategy that disregards the cost to the environment, the health and livability of our region is at risk for all that lives here.

Dr. Barry Turchen and Dr. Cindy Shaw presented a cheque for $40,000 to the Abbotsford Hospice Society and the Building Holmberg House project. This donation from the physicians of the Abbotsford Medical Staff Association is an example how another community group is supporting this need to build the first adult (age 19 and over) hospice residence in Abbotsford. The cheque was presented at the building site that is currently underway on the corner of Marshall and Gladwin Road. This adult hospice residence is on the Campus of Care site and will be called Holmberg House.

Compass Card may bring extra costs to transit riders TransLink to install machines at West Coast Express Alina KONEVSKI Abbotsford News

readers on buses, so drivers can’t validate the cards. “I think the risk for fraud is substantial,” replied Burton when asked whether passengers could simply show their Compass Card to a BC Transit bus driver and board for free.

Installing readers on BC Transit buses would be too expensive and not an option, said Burton. “Nothing about our system has changed. Everything about their system is about to change… But there will be some fall-out [on the BC Transit

system] from the [TransLink] changes, and this is an example of technology that now can no longer communicate with

each other,” she said. “That’s not to say that there aren’t solutions where we could meet somewhere in the middle. We continue

to have those discussions.” Compass Cards become mandatory for WCE passengers in December.

Some West Coast Express (WCE) riders will be out as much as $1,000 annually when TransLink installs Compass Card machines at the Mission station sometime in December. Currently, people who connect to the WCE train from an Abbotsford or Mission bus receive a credit on their WCE trip. With the credit, a one-way ticket from Mission to Waterfront in Vancouver costs $10, as opposed to $12.25. When the rider returns on the WCE and transfers onto a BC Transit bus in Mission or Abbotsford, the passenger rides for free by swiping their WCE ticket on the bus. For daily commuters, that’s $90 saved monthly. However, TransLink is discontinuing this credit system, alongside others, in an effort to streamline programs. Neither TransLink nor BC Transit know how many people commute from a Fraser Valley bus onto the WCE train. Anecdotally, it is a small minority, according to BC Transit. TransLink would not reveal how much money it is saving by discontinuing the credit program. To date, WCE riders have transferred to a BC Transit bus in Abbotsford or Mission for free by showing their valid WCE ticket as proof of payment. “It’s like a swipe card. When you swipe on the bus, we count

how many people ride the bus and revenue goes back to the local municipality, the local government, to fund transit,” said BC Transit spokesperson Meribeth Burton. But with a Compass Card, there is no way to tell when it expires. There are no card

MY LIFE

MY MEDICINE is my hope

Three years ago I was diagnosed with Diabetic Macular Edema, a complication of diabetes which can lead to blindness. My name is Tony Hiltz I’m from Nova Scotia and I live with Diabetic Macular Edema

If I couldn’t see, I couldn’t work – if I couldn’t work, my future was unknown. Despite trying several different treatments, my eyesight got worse and I was eventually declared legally blind. Thankfully, I was referred to a specialist who started me on a new innovative medicine – a medicine that would restore my sight and give me hope. There’s light in my future now. I can work, I can look after myself and I can contribute, and it’s thanks to this new medicine.

The trial started Tuesday in Abbotsford

Carrington, 67, is the former CEO and president of the WebNet series of companies which operated in

Abbotsford and laid off more than 100 employees in July 2008. Carrington was arrested at his home

in Abbotsford in June 2012 by the B. C . Securities Commission (BCSC) criminal investigation

team. His charges relate to selling securities without being registered, making misrep-

resentations, breaching an existing trading ban, and selling securities without a prospectus. The offences are alleged to have occurred in Abbotsford, Vancouver and White Rock in March and April 2011. Carrington was allegedly seeking involvement from potential investors in a mining operation – called Golden Trunk Mines – after he had been banned by the BCSC from trading securities for 20 years. That ban was issued in February 2011 and related to Carrington’s involvement in WebNet Converged Wireless N e t wo r k s Ltd., WebNet Broadcasting Corporation, WebNet Global Capital Partners Ldt. and 3dh Capital Ltd. BCSC found that the companies contravened securities laws when they distributed sloppy documents to investors. Among the deficiencies noted by the BCSC at the time were that some of the documents had inaccurate or missing financial statements, did not properly disclose short- and long-term objectives and did not “adequately disclose material agreements.” The BCSC stated that WebNet raised about $8.74 million from 916 investors in B.C., several other provinces and the U.S. In July 2008, WebNet laid off more than 100 employees in Abbotsford without notice and suspended its broadband wireless network, highspeed Internet and Internet phone services and shut down its Abbotsford retail store. In addition to the 20year ban on trading securities, Carrington was prohibited from acting as a director or officer of any issuer, acting as a manager or consultant in the securities market, and from engaging in investor relations. The trial is scheduled to run all this week and then resume on Jan. 10.

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-

served for the real estate agents and their clients. This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home. To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811. This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

Policing review spurs fresh talk of regional force Some Metro cities still eyeing split from Mounties

Jeff NAGEL Black Press

A new review of policing in B.C. ordered by the province may prod Metro Vancouver’s patchwork of police forces to work together in new ways but observers don’t expect a switch to a full regional police force. A regional force was one of the top recommendations handed down nearly a year ago by the Missing Women Inquiry, which probed how serial killer Robert Pickton eluded capture for so long. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the multi-phase review by government will look at new service delivery models. “Any change, whether

it is regional delivery of specialized policing functions or further integration, has to meet the needs of both communities and taxpayers, and our goal is to retain and support community-based policing,” Anton said in a statement. She said the review will also draw up funding options to finance police costs after work to better define the responsibilities of various levels of government. Several mayors, including Delta’s Lois Jackson, remain firmly against regional policing on the grounds they may lose community policing control and the ability to deliver nocall-too-small service to their residents.

The two-year review is to be done by the ministry in close consultation with local cities and with some assistance from the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police. SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said it doesn’t look independent enough to come up with the right solution, even if it’s one that upsets some cities and police forces. “It’s going to be a selfserving apology for the status quo,” Gordon predicted. “Police chiefs and mayors all have a great deal at stake. It could very well be a waste of time and money.” Gordon said a separate study is expected to report back soon on the Integrated Homicide

Investigation Team (IHIT), which is one of the regional integrated police teams that doesn’t have full municipal cooperation. Vancouver, Delta and West Vancouver all run their own homicide squads rather than participate in IHIT, out of concerns over both costs and control. Gordon said he fears the IHIT report will result in more “bandaiding” of the existing structure, instead of taking a needed step back to look at how to redesign the entire “totally inefficient” policing system in Metro Vancouver as well as Greater Victoria. According to a provincial report, there has been improved co-operation between

police forces over the years through greater use of integrated police

teams and several police-related reforms are being taken in response

Cost of policing key Metro issue From A23

The rising costs of RCMP service remain a big issue for Metro cities. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said his city is still considering pulling out of the RCMP and launching its own municipal force. Richmond would contract with a neighouring city for specialized services, such as murder investigations. “Our assumption has been that there was so much opposition to a regional model that it probably wasn’t going to happen,” he said. “Whether that now changes, we have to wait and see.” Burnaby, Port Coquitlam and North Vancouver have also studied potential alternatives to the Mounties over the past 18 months, since a controversial new 20-year RCMP contract kicked in with higher officer costs.

Brodie said one “huge issue” is the costs cities are being expected to pay to cover the newly opened $1-billion RCMP ‘E’ Division headquarters at Green Timbers in Surrey. RCMP-policed cities have been told to budget $1,200 for each officer in their detachment, he said, and $20,000 for every local officer who serves on an integrated team. Brodie said it adds up to a sudden jump of several hundred thousand dollars in annual RCMP costs for larger cities like Richmond, Burnaby and Surrey. Abbotsford has its own municipal force, which began as the Matsqui Police in 1955, and became the Abbotsford Police Department in 1995 when the two communities amalgamated. It is one of 11 municipal police forces in the province.

Accident settlements - how are your child’s interests protected ? funds to be forthcoming. However, due to legislation that protects infants, involvement of the office of the Public Guardian and Trustee (PGT) to approve a settlement is an additional step. In B.C., an infant is any person under the age of 19. At its core, the Doug purpose of the Public Guardian and Trustee is to protect the interests of infants by ensuring that any settlement is fair and just in all the circumstances. The size of the award any child receives should not be predicated upon

Legal-Ease

The unthinkable happens and your child has been injured in an accident. Thankfully, within months of the accident he has fully recovered. You and the insurance company have come to what you believe is a fair settlement that will award your son $10,000 to compensate for his pain and suffering. You know that settlements are typically “final,” but you soon find out that despite your agreement with the insurance company, the settlement is subject to the approval of some mysterious third party known as the Public Guardian and Trustee. What gives? Ordinarily, an injured party may simply enter into a settlement with an insurer and then expect settlement

the parents’ perceived knowledge of current personal injury awards. The PGT attempts to place all children on a level playing field. Furthermore, since infants cannot enter into legally binding contracts, the involvement of the PGT also adds security, certainty and finality to settlements involving infants. Shifting back to our hypothetical from above, for your negotiated settlement of $10,000 to be approved, you or your lawyer would need to make written submissions to the PGT which would include details of

Lester

the injury, case law supporting the figure you have negotiated, as well as an application fee. Had this been a more serious injury involving a proposed settlement of more than $50,000, the PGT would be required to provide statutory comments, which would then have to be presented to a judge at a hearing. Furthermore, if the PGT were not to approve the proposed settlement, a court order would be required to approve the settlement – and the hearing would likely be contested. Even after an approved settlement, the PGT role is not complete. The award is for the infant, and not the parent. As such, the funds will be held in trust by the PGT and then paid directly

to the infant once they reach the age of 19. In some circumstances, parents may have access to some of these funds for the maintenance of their child, but such access is strictly regulated by the PGT.

Personal injury settlements are complex matters, and often require an extensive knowledge of relevant case law and legal proceedings to ensure a fair payout. When infants are involved this process is further com-

plicated. Doug is a partner with RDM Lawyers LLP, practicing in the areas of personal injury law and labour and employment law. Comments can be sent to legalease@abbynews.com.

Voices needed for Harrison Lake oral history Volunteers recording stories about working and living on the lake

Black Press

Do you remember flying into work over Harrison Lake, living in a logging camp, or enjoying the delights of camp food in the good old days? If so, the Agassiz Historical Society would like to hear from you. They are just beginning what will be a months-long oral history project, detailing the working history of Harrison Lake and Harrison Mills. Volunteers have already contacted many well-known locals with a history connected to mills and logging. But they are hoping to hear from others they may not know about. Each person will be videotaped while telling their stories, as they’re interviewed by members of the society. “We hope this will start an oral history tradition here at the museum,” Bev Kennedy told a small group who gathered at the first meeting for the project on Tuesday. The society received a grant to help purchase the audio visual equipment needed for the project. They will spend the next few weeks learning techniques and working out the bugs. Then, they’ll begin the interviews, said Judy Pickard. Most interviews will be carried out at Cheam Village. For those who aren’t

able to travel, the volunteers will go to them. Pickard read out some ideas, hoping to trigger people’s memories for long-lost stories. Subjects could include transportation such as boating or flying into camps, weather issues, seasonal work, work crew shenanigans and social life, beach camps, living in places like Harrison Mills or Bear Creek, safety problems and accidents, wildlife stories, life as a child in a camp, First Nation history and millwork. It could even be as simple as talking about some of the old logging jargon. “What is a flunkie,” Pickard asked, pointing out that some words just aren’t used anymore. In addition to stories, they are hoping to add to their collection of about 150 old photographs. The project is open to families and friends of those who have passed away too, as long as they are willing to tell their stories. Many gathered at the meeting this week, eager to share their tales of living and working on the lake. The society is hoping to have the project finished by spring, and it will play in the Agassiz-Harrison Museum beginning May long weekend next year. “This is a big step for our museum,” Pickard said.

Question

Cadillac in the rear-view mirror of the European premium brands 2014 Cadillac CTS One auto trend that shows little sign of waning is the move towards more luxury or premium cars by manufacturers and consumers alike. As baby boomers age, they have earned the nicer things in life, and the offspring of baby boomers are getting used to the finer things in life, so more automakers are moving upscale. The Europeans do luxury and performance better than most and the Japanese luxury brands have been putting in their time to becoming a real force. But long before the Japanese, there have always been the American luxury brands, with many firsts in features and technology. Established in 1902, Cadillac is one of the oldest, along with Mercedes-Benz, and continues to be General Motors’ flagship in terms of refinement and technology. Looks The smaller Cadillac ATS was released a year ago and went on to win the North American Car of the Year award. General Motors has taken that platform and elongated it to produce the lightest mid-sized car in its class. It’s a full 173kg lighter than the benchmark BMW 5-Series it competes against, and 34kg lighter than the outgoing car. A lighter car, made of

Verdict The price of the CTS ranges from about $51,000 for the base model to $66,000 for the top premium trim level. The Vsport, high performance model is priced at almost $75,000. The Cadillac CTS is not an inexpensive car, but it offers many features like standard heated and vented leather seats, Bose stereo and push button start even on the base model. Compared to some of the other mid-sized luxury sedans it is less expensive, plus it is a worthy car for any driving enthusiast.

Truck tires tread lightly in the snow ‘‘

Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster..

Ian Harwood

’’

The temperature is starting to drop, the leaves are clogging up the streets and snow is beginning to fall in parts in parts of B.C. Driving in the winter season brings challenges no matter which part of the province you call home. My remarks are aimed chiefly at truck owners but the message is common for all: driver and vehicles must be equally prepared. In winter, braking and stopping vehicles of all kinds is perhaps

temperature, insufficient pressure is always the main cause of tire damage. Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in icy conditions. Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the pavement. Do not use the cruise con-

where most of us get into trouble. The tires play a critical role in stopping the vehicle, and so they need even more care and attention than in the other seasons. Most SUVs have a passenger car tire classification with M+S stamped on the sidewall, for Mud and Snow and are considered all- season tires. If it is not, your vehicle must be fitted with tires suitable for any type of climate, even the most severe ones. In winter the pressure of the tire must also be controlled more frequently. This is because a reduction of the outside temperature causes a contraction of the air inside the tire, accelerating the normal and gradual pressure loss process by a value around 1-2 PSI for each 5° C decrease in temperature. Contrary to popular opinion, a lower inflation pressure than normal does not improve tire traction on snow. It makes them much more prone to damage. Always remember that in any season and with any

trol in winter conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to deactivate the cruise control feature can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Don’t get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle. Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than

other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster. Besides, many 4x4 vehicles are heavier than passenger vehicles and actually may take longer to stop. And don’t bank on your 4x4’s traction. Your 4x4 can lose traction as quickly as a two-wheel drive vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, do not pump them in attempting to stop. The right way

is to steer into the skid while applying the brake pedal evenly. Look farther ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks

She grew up in a motorsports household but it wasnâ€™t until she actually got behind the wheel at the driving course that her mindset changed. â€œI was just overwhelmed with all of the technical aspects that it takes to be a good driver,â€? she stated.

In another interview, I chatted with Izod Indy racecar driver Simona de Silvestro. She tells me that there’s really no such thing as an “off-season.” She says she trains all year long. In fact, she trains harder when she’s not always behind the wheel of a car to prepare for the upcoming races.

“In 1978 when I was in high school in Kamloops I owned a 1972 Fiat 2-door sedan,” Rodney explained. “I was keen on a girl in school, and one day she asked me for a ride. While driving and chatting, the muffler fell off the car. She laughed and ducked down so as not to be seen by anyone. “I dropped her off and she laughed some more as I drove away, as loud as the car could be without a muffler.” Young Rodney figured that was that but . . . “Catherine and I are now in our 30th year of marriage and still love how the car connected us!”

driveway Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2010 to 2012 An all-new 2010-model year E-Class Coupe beat its sedan counterpart into Canadian Mercedes-Benz dealerships, in mid-2009. Style, safety and comfort are fundamental characteristics of an E-Class, which is considered to be one of the safest cars in the world. This generation E-Class came with ten air bags and a new Pre-Safe system that readies all on-board safety systems, when it detects that a collision may be about to happen. A car to savour on a long road trip, this E-Class came with a new “Intelligent” body structure that’s 30 per cent more rigid than its predecessor, incredibly comfortable seating and a newly developed suspension with shock absorbers that automatically adjust to a driving situation. An optional air suspension was also available with an electronic damping system. The E350 (coupe or sedan) is powered by a 3.5 litre V6 with 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The E550 (coupe or sedan) has a 5.5 litre V8 that can generate 382 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. The sedan also comes in a high-performance AMG 63 edition with a 6.2-litre V8 that makes 518 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. All three engines are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the rear wheels of the Coupe and to all four wheels of the Sedan. The rear-drive 3.5L V6 gets best fuel economy at 11.9 L/100/km in the city and 7.6 L/100/km on the highway. The 6.2L V8 is the gas guzzler, with a city/highway rating of 16.5/10.2 L/100/ km. All three engines also prefer premium fuel. A standard Dynamic Handling package also allows the driver choose a sporty-set-up at the touch of a button. This changes the continuously variable damping, the speed-sensitive power steering (with variable centering), ESP/ASR (traction control), accelera-

tor response, and speed of automatic gear changes. New active safety innovations included Attention Assist, which is a driver drowsiness monitor, PreSafe, which is preventative occupant protection system, Adaptive High Beam Assist, which automatically dims headlight high beams, and an automatic emergency braking system called Distronic Plus. Attention Assist is a warning system that can sense a drop in driver attention level. It continuously monitors more than 70 different driver performance parameters, such as erratic steering behaviour, and will signal when it’s time for the driver to take a break. Four new E-Class models were added for the 2011 model year: an E350 4MATIC station wagon, E350 BlueTEC diesel sedan, and two convertibles, the E350 cabriolet and E550 cabriolet. At highway cruising speeds you can barely hear the E350 BlueTEC diesel engine, throttle response is fast (for a diesel) and pulling power (398 lb ft of torque from 1600 to 2400 rpm) is phenomenal. Engine upgrades followed in 2012. The E350 4MATIC got a direct-injection 3.5-litre V6. The E550 4MATIC got a 4.6-litre bi-turbo V8 and the E63 AMG got a 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8. All models also receive a revised transmission, electric continued on page 33

power steering and LED license plates. Even though owner costs tend to be higher than average, the E-Class made Consumer Reports’ ‘Recommended list of cars to buy and the E350 BlueTEC was singled out for special praise. If style, comfort and safety top your auto “wish list”, and you’ve got the money, consider the remarkable Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

2010 E350 Coupe/Sedan: $32,000 to $38,000 2011 E350 Coupe/Sedan: $39,000 to $46,000 2012 E350 Coupe/Sedan: $49,000 to $57,000

Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Recalls on the 2010 to 2012 MercedesBenz E-Class:

2010/2011: The power steering assist system may fail due to the loss of power steering fluid from a fitting on a high-pressure power steering line. Dealers will inspect, tighten the fitting and, if necessary, replace an O-ring seal. 2011: Rear window privacy glass may not conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 205 Glazing Materials. Dealers will replace the affected windows.

Electric vehicles:

rural or urban?

driveway

People point and laugh at Jim Knowles when he drives his Smart Fortwo Electric Drive through downtown Campbell River. But he and his wife Catherine have the last laugh when they open up their hydro bill. “I think the last bill was just a few dollars more than the one we got before we bought the car in July so that’s inexpensive driving,” said Knowles. “I work out at the airport and so I travel about 10 kilometres each way every day. I never let the battery go below 20 percent but I still find I can sometimes go four days before I plug it in overnight.” In the summer, Knowles said he can easily get up to the 160 km range on a single charge but knows the Vancouver Island winter will take that down to around 120 as the wipers and heater take their energy toll. “We moved from Ladner three-and-half years ago with our Smart Diesel. I think people here thought we would by something a little bigger – this is the truck capital of the Island after all.” But they came back from a car-shopping jaunt from Richmond with the little electric car, which set them back around $26,990 less a generous BC government rebate of $5,000. “We stopped in Qualicum Beach to charge it for a couple of hours and made it back here easily.” The car charges on what is called a level one (basic) charger but with rebates now offered on fast chargers, they are contemplating investing in one. Knowles got in touch with Driveway to tell of his experiences with the smart car, following our launch piece on the BMWi3 electric car a few weeks ago. We would like to hear from others, who are driving pure electric vehicles in rural areas. Electric vehicles are frequently dismissed as being good only for urban dwellers. The Knowles couple are demonstrating they can serve people outside of major cities. Admittedly, they don’t travel far each day but then surely that’s the case for many rural residents. Yes, trucks, larger cars and SUVs will always dominate in parts of the province where are harsh winters are commonplace and distances travelled are greater. But cars like the Smart and i3 maybe have a role to play as a family’s second vehicle in those locations. What do you think? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Gardening

Winterize now

From A43

leaves, old annuals and vegetable stems by composting them over the winter. You might also wish to add fine fir or hemlock bark mulch (or sawdust) and sand to your vegetable garden to improve the drainage next year. Applying lime is important now too, except of course where you are going to grow potatoes. Trees and Shrubs: Now is the best time to plant most evergreens, fruit trees and shade trees. They are becoming dormant and, once planted, they will immediately form new roots. By spring, they will have well established root systems. Some points to remember: The quality of the soil in which you plant your new trees will determine how well your trees grow. Work in plenty of fine bark mulch to open up and provide good drainage in our heavy clay soils. If your trees are in burlap sacks, you should leave the sack on the rootball – it’s holding all those roots together! Bare root trees can be safely dug and planted as of November 15th. They will make new roots, getting them off to a great start come spring. Because of the long dry summer, many cedars and pines are dropping brown inside foliage. Simply let it fall, rake it up and compost it. It’s a great time to feed hedging cedars using a quality slow release lawn fertilizer like 32-0-10. If you use a liquid starter, your trees will get a faster start. Evergreen hedges, planted now, will provide a good windbreak for cold winter winds, thereby helping to keep your fuel bill down.

Captaincy is ‘cherry on top’ for Arsene Abbotsford product savours leadership role with hometown Heat DanKINVIG ABBOTSFORD NEWS

It's one of the highest accolades in all of team sports – being voted captain by your teammates. Dean Arsene tasted that honour last week, as his mates on the Abbotsford Heat elected him captain. Remarkably, it's the fifth time in Arsene's 12-year AHL career that he's worn the captain's C. He also served the top player leadership role with the Hershey Bears (2006-08), Springfield Falcons (2009-10), Peoria Rivermen (201011) and Portland Pirates (2011-12). There's been some buzz that five captaincies might be an AHL record, but the league doesn't track that stat per se, so it's difficult to officially confirm. Regardless, it says a lot about the level of respect that Arsene has garnered in every dressing room he's stepped into. "It means a lot – to have the team vote on it, I really appreciate it from the guys," Arsene said. "It shows that what I’ve been doing, trying to help everybody out, kind of paid off. "But it’s not one guy steering the ship. There’s 20 guys in the dressing room. We’ve got a great support staff with (Carter) Bancks and (Paul) Byron wearing the A's and so many other guys, (Ben) Street, (Greg) Nemisz, (Blair) Jones, so many older guys that help out and it’s

leadership by committee.” It's all the more special for Arsene to wear the C in Abbotsford, his hometown. This past summer, coming off a season with the AHL's St. John's IceCaps, he decided he wanted to focus on joining the Heat, and landed a 25-game player tryout contract just before training camp. “It’s a dream come true just playing here in Abbotsford, having my family and my friends and being able to not be away from my wife and dog," he said with a grin. "It’s nice to be at home and be surrounded by people I usually don’t spend a lot of time with during hockey season. To have the C, it’s just the cherry on top.” Heat head coach Troy Ward suggested that having a local player serve as captain is great for the community. "He's been a leader on most every team he's been around," Ward marveled. "He's a leader on the ice, he's a leader off the ice. I think he's a leader during moments of truth, when life isn't always so easy. I think he has a good feel for the temperature of his teammates. "He's at a point in his career where he doesn't have to do a lot of work on himself to get himself ready (to play). He's really able to feel the temperature of a room and get a sense of how everybody's doing."

Corban Knight has impressed with his offensive skill set with the Heat this season. Clint Trahan photo

Knight on fire to start season DanKINVIG ABBOTSFORD NEWS

From a thrilling spring to a traumatic summer to a tremendous fall, this year has already been one for the time capsule for Corban Knight. One can only imagine what winter will bring – his NHL debut, perhaps? – but let’s focus on the present for the time being. Knight, a 23-year-old centre, is off to a sizzling start to his first professional season – through 16 games with the Abbotsford Heat, he’s pacing the squad in points with 14 (five goals, nine assists). Two of his goals have been game-winners, and he also boasts a team-best +7 rating. “Right now, in terms of his development, the sky is the limit,” Heat head coach Troy Ward said. “He can turn into a top-six forward (at the NHL level) over time.

“He’s got huge-end skill. He’s a prolific passer – he can move the puck really well, and he does it very subtly, very skillfully, very artfully. He can also shoot the puck very well – he shoots it better than most NHL players.” In light of that string of superlatives, it’s remarkable that the Florida Panthers, who drafted him in the fifth round of the 2009 NHL entry draft, didn’t seem to hold Knight in such high esteem back in the spring. Knight had wrapped up a stellar four-year run with the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux, fashioning a banner senior year with the perennial powerhouse NCAA program. He racked up 49 points (16 goals, 33 assists) in 41 games in 2012-13 and was a top-10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Award

as the top college player in the United States. But he wasn’t able to come to terms on a contract with the Panthers, and they allowed him to speak with other teams. He ended up choosing the Calgary Flames, who shipped a fourth-round pick to Florida in exchange for his rights and subsequently signed him. “After my season ended in college, it just seemed like there wasn’t a lot of mutual interest,” Knight said, reflecting on the end of his tenure as a Panthers prospect. “They had a lot of young guys who were kind of in the same situation (in their careers) as me, and I looked around the league and I saw there was a lot of opportunity for a young centreman coming out of college.

“It was just one of those things where I don’t think we really saw eye to eye, and when it came down to it, we just knew it was time to part ways.” Knight already had a certain level of familiarity with the Flames organization – his father Jack is a staff member with the Christian sports ministry Athletes in Action, and has served as a chaplain with the NHL club for several years. Jack Knight didn’t lobby his son to join the Flames by any means, but the younger Knight did appreciate his father’s input. “The fact that my dad spoke so highly of the management and the guys on the team made it a little bit easier, because you knew you were getting into a situation where it

Boosting the Heat Heat Generation club goes the extra mile to support AHL team DanKINVIG ABBOTSFORD NEWS

Most sports fans are content to limit their involvement to watching games, wearing their jersey and maybe collecting the odd player autograph when the opportunity presents itself. Then there are those who are a little more hardcore – fans who want to go the extra mile and support their favourite team more directly. The Abbotsford Heat have such a group of diehards, and they've come together to launch a booster club called Heat Generation. The purpose of the 80-member organization is to create interest in the team while offering practical support to the players on a variety of fronts. Heat Generation gives out Welcome Wagon-style packages to players each fall when they arrive in Abbotsford, and hosted a season-ending dinner for the team last spring. They're also in the process of launching an adopt-a-player program which would pair athletes with local families. Having access to an occasional home-cooked meal is no small thing, particularly for rookies straight out of junior hockey who are living on their own for the first time.

"Obviously our following in the com"We're not sure how many players are munity isn't huge," Ward noted. "But the going to put their name in the hat (for people that do embrace it, I think they the adopt-a-player program), but it's just should have a direct line to the coach.

games, hosting contests where fans can make predictions on which player will score the team's first goal that night. The club also gives out a trophy at season's end to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of sportsmanship, perseverance, and leadership on the ice and who is a positive role model in the community. Goalie Danny Taylor won the inaugural award for 2012-13. "The ulterior motive for me (being involved in the booster club) was just to promote the game and be a really good fan," explained Heat Generation co-chair Gary McCaskill, an Abbotsford resident who spent decades scouting and coaching hockey at the junior level. "I was excited when I found out the Heat were coming to Abbotsford. It gave me a quality of hockey to watch that I really appreciate, and I really enjoy watching all these young kids develop and move on to their future careers. I wanted to be able to promote it to people in Abbotsford. "If you're a hockey fan, come on out. I don't care if you wear a Detroit jersey or a Canucks jersey or a Boston jersey, it doesn't matter. Come on out." For more information on the booster club, visit heatgeneration.ca.

Trying summer for rookie centre

From A48

was a quality bunch of guys,” he said. “But other than that, it was a thing where he respected my decision and he was going to support me no matter what.” CATASTROPHIC FLOOD Knight’s initial focus over the summer was getting himself into peak condition to challenge for a roster spot with the NHL club, but he and his family encountered some unexpected adversity. On the morning of June 20, Knight drove from his home in High River, just south of Calgary, into the city for a workout session. When it ended, he glanced on his phone and saw he’d missed several calls from his mom and dad. Over the previous two hours, the Highwood River had flooded its banks, causing massive devastation in the town of 13,000. The Knight family home, located just a stone’s throw from the river, was among the hardest hit. “It literally happened in a couple hours, because I’d left that morning and everything was fine,” he said. “We’d been there for 13 years. It was tough, just to see all the stuff you lose, all those family heirlooms and memories that you can’t really get back, and the kind of toll it takes on your parents.” Once authorities allowed evacuated residents back into town, the Knights found that their house was still structurally sound. “But both basements and the main floor were hit pretty hard, so we had to completely strip that,” he said. “We’re in the midst of the renovations right now. The plan is to be back in by Christmas, but we’ll see what happens.

“But everything happens for a reason – there’s been a lot of positives to come out of it. To see how our friends and family and people around Alberta and all over the country have rallied around High River, it’s been a pretty special thing to see. To say you were a part of that, you kind of take pride in it.” ROOKIE GROWTH Since arriving in Abbotsford this fall, Knight has put up numbers from the get-go, thriving both at centre and on the right wing with a variety of linemates. Ward said that the growth area for the youngster is to learn to play a conscientious game in all three zones and to compete hard on a consistent basis. “His progress . . . has been in his overall play, in the 200-foot scheme of things,” Ward said. “How does he handle the defensive zone, how does he handle the pace of a 200foot pro game? Those are things he’s learning as he goes through the process, and he’s also learning how to be a more consistent player. “But he’s doing a really, really good job. He’s made as many strides as any player we have here, in terms of growth areas he has.” Knight acknowledged the that grind of the AHL, with its occasional three-games-inthree-days scheduling quirks, has been an adjustment. “It can definitely take a toll on you mentally and physically,” he said. “Just trying to be the best you can be in those types of games, learning how to handle those situations, is extremely important. “You’ve got to be very good in all three zones, and that’s something I pride myself on and want to get better at . . . it’s something I know I need to work on to get to the next level.”

Teddy Bear Toss helps those in need

Today is a great day to pencil in a pre-Christmas family night for Friday, Dec. 6 in your ‘must-do’ events calendar. That's when the Abbotsford Heat host their annual Teddy Bear Toss night at their home game vs. the San Antonio Rampage (7 p.m., Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre). Through the committed efforts of the Heat hockey club, the AESC, Sunrise Toyota, the Abbotsford News and the Abbotsford Christmas Bureau, it is hoped that the game could be a huge draw for both a great Heat game, and to make a difference in a young child’s Christmas in our community. “This is a very important time of the year for us where we count on the generosity of our partners and the community-at-large to help us help those in need," said Dave Murray, manager of the Abbotsford Food Bank and Christmas Bureau. "The Teddy Bear Toss has become an integral part of this by providing new, unused plush toys to children who might otherwise not see a Christmas present. We are very grateful for the community's support. As well, tickets for this game can also be purchased through the Christmas Bureau office (604-859-5749), with 50 per cent of the each ticket price contributed directly to support Abbotsford Community Services, a win-win for everyone involved. This year Sunrise Toyota, a long time locallyowned and operated Abbotsford busi-

ness, has taken on the challenge of adding their support in making this year’s event the biggest and best one ever. “It is our staff’s belief that by involving ourselves within our community in charitable events such as the Teddy Bear Toss, we not only create an opportunity to provide a young child with a new stuffed toy for Christmas, we also nurture our staff’s belief that if we all give a little, it can make a big difference," said Mark Smith, general manager of Sunrise Toyota. “As part of our commitment, all of our employees will be attending this game, bringing new plush toys to donate, and helping load all of the donated toys into three of our all-new full-sized 2014 Toyota Tundra trucks. We will also be donating another 50 seats to this game to one of our other community partners, as part of this event’s success. And, in the event someone wants to contribute but are unable to attend, we’ll also have a truck on display on our showroom for any toy donations.” Tickets for the Sunrise Toyota Teddy Bear Toss game can also be purchased in person at the AESC Box Office (33800 King Road, Abbotsford), by phone (1-877-452-HEAT), or at the following participating locations: Whatcom Wine & Spirits, the Abbotsford News, Sports Zone, MRC, ARC, and Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack London Drugs locations.

WHERE GOOD BECOME GREAT Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce’s Business Excellence Awards are fast approaching. The event is always a popular draw in the business community, and the largest in the region, regularly attracting more than 500 people. This year’s event will be held at Tradex on Nov. 20 and will recognize businesses and owners who stand out from the crowd in 11 categories. A total of 91 nominees have been listed.

The entertainment for this year is Vancouver’s Drum Cafe, which is making a return to Abbotsford after a six-year absence. This high-energy group is Canada’s premier interactive drumming company, and includes the audience in its shows by handing out small drums for each attendee. “They’re amazing,” said event coordinator Carole Jorgensen. “It’s energetic and fun.”

We’ve recently finished the 3rd Quarter of 2013 and Real Estate activity in Abbotsford continues to be mixed, sometimes in favour of the Seller and sometimes in favour of the Buyer; although predictions are indicating slow improvement for 2014. The number of properties selling has increased but prices continue to be relatively unchanged. If you’d like to draw upon my over 22 years of experience, call or email me anytime to discuss your specific plans or ask for any Real Estate advice.

But it isn’t all work! I am also passionate about old cars, well, almost anything with a motor and wheels. I am currently restoring a ‘66 Impala SS. The family is less enthusiastic about this hobby when there is work to be done but loves to ride in the 70 Dart or on the collector Harley on a sunny weekend.

I am a dedicated, professional Realtor with strong roots in the Abbotsford community and a passion for doing the best for my clients. I moved from Surrey to Abbotsford in 1985 and found a connection with the town and people above and beyond my expectations. I married Ingrid Smith in 1994 and we committed to making Abbotsford our family home. My career continued in sales and management for the next twenty years. In 2006 I took the plunge into Real Estate, my passion and greatest strength has always been working closely with my clients and providing the level of service and professionalism I would like to receive myself. The result has been beyond my dreams. It is with gratitude that I have seen my business grow with the values I bring, my relationships with my clients which often build into great friendships, and the support of my family.

Geoff welcomes the opportunity to get to know you and your family.

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

Call me anytime. I look forward to hearing from you.
