Pilot mourned Aviation enthusiast Marty Lehner loses his life in crash Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Marty Lehner was killed Monday night when his light aircraft crashed in the Mt. Lehman area.
The man who died in the plane crash Monday night in Abbotsford was immersed in the flying world. Marty Lehner was a member of the Abbotsford Flying Club (AFC), was on the board of directors for the Abbotsford International Airshow, and was the B.C. dealer for Pipistrel Aircraft based in Slovenia. AFC vice-president Adrian Renkers said club members were devastated to learn about the death of Lehner, who was a valued addition to the closeknit group. “He was very jovial, outgoing and a bubbly kind of person,” Renkers said. He said Lehner regularly turned out for the AFC’s
TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday) social gatherings at its clubhouse at the Abbotsford Airport, as well as to breakfast on Sunday mornings, followed by a group flight. Renkers described Lehner as a “very competent pilot” who was working on obtaining his instrument rating, which requires additional training beyond what is required for a private pilot’s certificate. Renkers said Lehner owned four planes – a Cessna 150, a Cessna 180, a Piper Cub and a Pipistrel Virus SW 100. He said Lehner’s family is also heavily involved in flying. His son Adam, who competes as a barefoot water skier, has aspirations to become a career pilot, and his daughter, Erika, has her private pilot’s Continued on A5

Medical marijuana zoning to go to public hearing
There’s a story behind every smile...
City seeks to ban commercial grow-ops in city limits
“
Patient Testimonial
Prior to being a patient with Dr’s Surdhar and Lui, I’d have described myself as an “apprehensive” patient. The one that wishes the upcoming circled date on the calendar was past. After a few procedures with the dentists at Bridgeview Dental I can happily say that I no longer dread the upcoming appointments and look forward to seeing the friendly dental team and having my dental work done. Even a recent extraction and implant that followed was without discomfort. I feel confident in the treatment they provide me knowing they keep up with what’s new in the dental field with their continuing education and study club participation. Heather

Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News The city’s plan to ban commercial medical marijuana grow-ops in Abbotsford will go to public hearing on Dec. 9. Health Canada has changed its regulations, ending licences to grow medical marijuana in residential homes in favour of creating commercial operations that will both grow and distribute the product. But Abbotsford council is considering keeping all commercial grow-ops out of
city limits. Council will vote on two zoning bylaw amendments, one to prohibit commercial grow-ops in all non-farmland city zones, and another to ban them on farmland, which will require approval from the province. Chilliwack plans to allow the commercial grow-ops in specially zoned areas that host industries like slaughterhouses, asphalt manufacturers and sewage treatment plants. George Murray, Abbotsford’s city man-
ager, said that the city is under time restraints to ban marijuana crops on farmland in Abbotsford, or else lose the opportunity when the regulations change. He said that the city’s legal counsel had advised staff to ban growops across Abbotsford and seek ministerial approval, and maintain the option of changing the zoning in the future. A report from Abbotsford city staff states that they have already received notifications from four firms interested in operating commercial grow-ops.
Nutcracker comes to Abby stage Royal City Youth Ballet performs holiday classic The Royal City Youth Ballet presents its annual holiday classic The Nutcracker on Saturday, Nov. 23 in Abbotsford. Ballet students from throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, including Abbotsford, join a cast of more than 100 dancers under the direction of Dolores Kirkwood. Performing to Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s beautiful music, this traditional ballet has sets designed by Jean Claude Olivier and colourful costumes by Chris Sinosich. There are magical soldiers, mice, a Sugar Plum fairy and a growing Christmas tree, all danced to Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker score, with snowflakes, Snow King and Queen, Waltz of the Flowers, Arabian, Spanish and other favourites. The production is set on Christmas Eve. Drosselmeyer, godfather to Clara, brings gifts and magic to her parents’ home for the annual Christmas party. His special gift to Clara is a large nutcracker soldier. When she falls asleep after the party, Clara is cradling the nutcracker in her arms and begins to dream. In her dream, her nutcracker soldier fights a battle and transports her on a sleigh through the Land of Snow to the Land of Sweets, where she meets the Sugar Plum Fairy and people from faraway lands. The ballet closes as Drosselmeyer brings Clara back from her dream, still cradling her nutcracker soldier and treasuring her wonderful dream. The Abbotsford show takes place at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Abbotsford Arts Centre, 2329 Crescent Way. Tickets are available through The Act box office in Maple Ridge by calling 604-476-2787 or online at theactmapleridge.org.

Drug War Survivors vow to stay in Jubilee Park
Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
A protest camp for the homeless has remained in Jubilee Park since late October, but city officials say the growing encampment can’t stay on parkland indefinitely. “The city has been looking at all its options… it’s not been ignoring it, it’s been extremely tolerant – to a fault some would say. I think we are at a stage now that it is going to have to end,” said Jake Rudolph, deputy city manager. The camp began as a three-day protest by members of the BC/Yukon Drug War Survivors to raise awareness about the city’s most marginalized residents. But the local chapter’s founder, Barry Shantz, announced days later that the camp would remain until the city sanctioned a designated camp for homeless people, similar to Portland’s Dignity Village. While Rudolph said the city has received
ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News
Members of the BC/Yukon Drug War Survivors set up camp in Jubilee Park in October as part of a protest. “surprisingly few” complaints about the site in the past month, he said that the camp cannot continue on public parkland forever. He added that the city has been treating the site as “an occupation and as a protest, not so much as a homeless camp.” Rudolph said the right to express one’s views
has been demonstrated through the courts in the past and must be respected. “This group has had a month or so of opportunity to do that. Having said that, it can’t continue forever. There is an expectation I think from the silent majority of people in the community that feel enough is enough. There will come
a time when this is no longer acceptable.” Rudolph said a potential resolution will not be confrontational, and stakeholders will seek a solution to the issue. But Shantz said the group has no plans to move in the near future, saying he expects people could be there “until February or March. “The only way to get
us out of here is a courtordered injunction.” He said gathering homeless people in the park allows a safe space for people to congregate, and makes a point about the necessity of an established camp in Abbotsford. Shantz said the group has been provided with porta-potties by a local businessman and city staff gave the group garbage bags to collect waste. Rudolph said police have been visiting the site as part of patrols, though the area has not been targeted. He added that since last week, fire services and bylaw officers visited the site daily in order to ensure safety. Rudolph said homelessness has been an issue that has been in Abbotsford for many years, and currently there are lot of people “stepping up with ideas. “What we can do is take a step back and take a reasonable approach to solve problems in the best interest of the municipality, and there will be differences of opinion on that.”

licence. Lehner, owner of a sprinkler installation company, was flying the Virus – described as a light two-seater aircraft – on Monday night, departing from Abbotsford Airport en route to Pitt Meadows, where he was planning to view another plane for possible purchase, according to Renkers. He said Lehner departed Abbotsford at 4:09 p.m. for the 13-minute flight. The control tower lost contact with him and an emergency beacon began sending a signal from northwest Abbotsford at about 4:30 p.m. Abbotsford Police, two search and rescue teams, and a Cormorant helicopter from Canadian Forces Base Comox were involved in the search over the next few hours. Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the search efforts, which involved about 30 people, were hampered by the pelting
rain, wind, darkness and rough terrain. The aircraft was located in a densely wooded area near a mushroom farm at about 9 p.m., and it was determined that the plane had likely clipped some power lines prior to crashing. The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) is investigating the incident, although its role is not to assign fault or to determine liability. TSB spokesman Bill Yearwood said Lehner was given clearance to fly in Monday’s inclement weather, but soon after taking off, he informed the control tower that he was turning back due to the bad conditions. Yearwood said the TSB has not yet confirmed which direction he was travelling at the time of the crash, but Renkers said Lehner had turned around at around 264 Street and was heading back to the airport. Yearwood said Lehner was travelling within “visual flight rules” (VFR), a set of
regulations requiring a pilot to be able to fly using visual references to avoid terrain and obstacles. According to Transport Canada guidelines, specific weather minimums are required to fly VFR, and visibility must be three miles, but permission can be granted to depart a control zone with less visibility than that – for example, if conditions are better at the destination airport. Yearwood said information from the TSB investigation will be included in a public report released either through the TSB or, more likely, through the BC Coroners Service. He said this will likely take several months. Meanwhile, Renkers said the Abbotsford Flying Club will talk about how to best to honour their comrade. He said they will likely hold a celebration of life at the clubhouse and do a “missing man formation” fly-over. Lehner is survived by his wife and two children.

WebTalk
OF THE WEEK Do you think it’s time for the city to clear the homeless protest camp in Jubilee Park?
Lyme disease Lyme is so easy to contract, by a tick bite, yet doctors don’t readily identify it without the presence of a bull’s-eye rash which is only evident in 30 per cent of positive Lyme cases. And that mistake is costly! Sheryl Bjerre
To answer, go to abbynews.com
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Anyone can get bitten by a tick, even here in your back yard. Almost all who are bitten by an infection-carrying tick are not diagnosed here and miss the chance of a simple cure, then that often turns into years or a lifetime of suffering and/or treatment. Peter von Tiesenhausen
Do you support the concept of being able to buy beer and wine at grocery stores in B.C.?
Health Canada needs to stop being in denial about the size of this epidemic. Lyme disease is the fastest growing infectious disease in North America. Do they really think ticks are turned back at the U.S.-Canada border? Flora Poste

It’s a port city in the Philippines. They are thousands of kilometres apart, yet have a dreadful commonality – they are the sites of major humanitarian crises. And yet the causes of that suffering, death and displacement are utterly different. In Syria, civil war is to blame for the loss of tens of thousands of lives, and millions of refugees. In the Philippines, a natural catastrophe – Typhoon Haiyan – is responsible. In the case of the latter, the maelstrom struck and passed in a matter of hours. The death toll is over 4,000 and could
climb further. In Syria, the violence has been grinding on for nearly three years, with an estimated 100,000 killed. In the typhoon-struck islands, some three million people have been displaced. During October, the number of displaced Syrian people is estimated at six and a half million. In both situations, the need for international humanitarian aid is critical, and immense. Yet, the two scenarios again differ greatly in terms of response, which is impacted deeply by media coverage, and in turn the capacity of people to understand the need, and maintain focus and support. What has all this to do with Abbotsford, so far removed from both countries? This is a remarkably generous community, which has a reputation of responding to people’s needs here and abroad. That willingness to help includes the Syrian situation over the years, and not surprisingly, has again come to the fore in
the case of the Philippines, which is the latest, most high-profile humanitarian cause to capture the media and public’s attention. That poses a challenge for organizations such as the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB), which receives significant support from this community, and the Mennonite Central Committee, which has a high-profile presence and offices in Abbotsford, and is an important supporter of the CFGB, as is World Renew. While the Syrian situation carries on, disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan diverts a finite level of charity. How do aid organizations budget for human suffering and need – spanning local, national and international – as response to one crisis potentially diminishes aid to another? From purely a statistical perspective, the Syrian refugee crisis dominates, but as with virtually all long-term internal conflicts, sees public attention rise and fade. It’s not hard to comprehend lives torn asunder by shrieking winds and rushing
In both situations, the need for international humanitarian aid is critical, and immense.
waters. Harder though, to relate to displacement by violence that comes from within one’s own country, at the hands of one’s own people. The CFGB is addressing that challenge, in a way you may not expect – on the community level. The church-based organization approached the Abbotsford News with an invitation to join a tour of Jordan and Lebanon – the two countries hosting the majority of Syrian refugees who have left their homeland. I volunteered to represent The News and Black Press. As of Monday, I’ll be in Jordan, meeting and talking with the people displaced by the Syrian civil war, and the folks who work to bring them food, water, shelter, medical aid … and hope. The trip is sponsored by the CFGB, however, what I report will not be vetted. I expect to see and learn things that most of us will never experience, nor perhaps would many wish to. There are going to be many stories. I will be sharing some of them with you. Watch for posts next week on abbynews. com.

Abbotsford News Thursday, November 21, 2013
letters Invest in transit for the future An open letter to Mayor Banman and council: The people of Abbotsford need to be better connected with the rest of Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver with transit service linking Chilliwack, Abbotsford, and Langley, for several reasons. First, it allows many people who live in Abbotsford an affordable way to get to their present jobs in Metro Vancouver and Chilliwack. Assuming that a person living close to downtown Abbotsford is working in New Westminster, just for fuel, it costs approximately $10 to $13 for the round-trip every day. That is at least $2,400 per year. In return, the money earned outside of Abbotsford will be brought here and spent in our community through property tax, food, house maintenance, and so on. A transit service will help the unemployed and under-employed people in Abbotsford to access jobs in Langley and Surrey. Already in Abbotsford there are hundreds of seniors without drivers’ licences that have a limited ability to access health care, meet-
ing friends, and increase access to other areas of the Fraser Valley. By connecting Chilliwack and Abbotsford we will be better serving the student population of the University of the Fraser Valley’s two main campuses. By providing a transportation link that is reliable and well-funded we are helping to create educational opportunities in our community. Without this transportation connection UFV is at risk of losing potential students to other universities throughout British Columbia where transit exists. We are not an isolated part of British Columbia but interwoven in the economic and social fabric of Chilliwack, Langley, and beyond. And our public transportation network needs to reflect how we actually travel about the region. I ask each member of city council to please get on board and help create an express BC Transit service from Chilliwack and Abbotsford to Langley. It is an investment in building a stronger and better Abbotsford for the future. Ken Wuschke Abbotsford

Businesses and fire crews host annual food drive Culminates in convoy from auto mall Dec. 14 ed Dec. 1 at Save-OnFoods on Sumas Way. As well, the auto mall dealers and Automall Autobody invite the public to drop off food bank donations to the businesses from Nov. 18 to Dec. 13. AFRS auxiliary crews will also collect donations through a doorto-door campaign. It all culminates in the seventh annual convoy departing from the auto mall on Mt. Lehman Road at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14 to deliver the donations to the food bank. At least a dozen decorated vehicles from the auto mall will accompany a number of AFRS trucks, Abbotsford Police vehicles, and a large Save-On-Foods truck along South Fraser Way to the food bank on Essendene Avenue. New for 2013 is a surprise lead vehicle transporting the convoy’s marshall along the one-mile route.
For the seventh consecutive year, a group of Abbotsford businesses is assisting the local food bank in filling its shelves over the holiday season. All nine dealers of the Fraser Valley Auto Mall, along with Automall Autobody, Save-On-Foods, and PriceSmart Foods, have teamed up with Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) and The Abbotsford News for a series of events. The first event takes place Sunday, Nov. 24 at Save-On-Foods on Whatcom Road from 10 am. to 3 p.m. Pre-arranged bags of food will be available for purchase for donation to the Abbotsford Food Bank at a cost of $5 or $10. A team from AFRS will be on hand to run the Spin-a-Wheel for prizes provided by dealers from the auto mall and Save-OnFoods. The event is repeat-

New home for women’s centre BC Teen Challenge has found a longterm facility for its Abbotsford Women’s Centre, a local recovery home. The centre, which opened in 2003, was the site of a mudslide on its former property in April of his year, and all residents and staff were forced to evacuate the home. Over the summer, the women were moved between two temporary facilities, while BC Teen Challenge leadership searched for a long-term solution. The former property – located near the Whatcom Road exit off Highway 1 – continued to have issues with mud flow, and there were also concerns that the site allowed a maximum of only nine people. The home would have required significant upgrades to the water system in order to accommodate more residents. After months of de-
liberation, BC Teen Challenge secured a new permanent home through a partnership with the Fraser Valley Gleaners. The property is located on 10 acres, and boasts several bedrooms with room for more residents. There is also space for activities such as gardening, recreation and community involvement. The home has been named “The Patricia House” in memory of a woman who lost her battle with addiction. The facility offers a 12-month program that includes spiritual restoration, education training, and practical vocational experience. The Abbotsford Women’s Centre is now seeking monthly financial supporters and practical donations. For more information, call manager Angie Appenheimer at 1-888-575-3930 (ext. 306) or visit bcteenchallenge.com.

The Norrish Creek water supply is flowing again after a slide took out the main water supply pipe in early October. On Oct. 2, a rock slide occurred on the Forest Service Road to Norrish Creek completely blocking the road and causing a breach in the water supply pipe leading city crews shut down the Norrish system. Norrish Creek is the main source of water to both Abbotsford and Mission. Residents did not see any impact to their water services as the supply from Cannell Lake and the well systems was able to address the demands. All repairs to the pipeline and slope stabilization are complete. The service road to Norrish Creek has reopened and site cleanup will continue this week. In late October, city staff said the pipe would be repaired by early December, but the work has since been completed ahead of schedule. The work will cost about $450,000, with $150,000 being paid for by Emergency Management BC and the remaining $300,000 will be funded by city water reserves. At council on Monday, Mayor Bruce Banman thanked city staff for their efforts in repairing the pipe as quickly as possible. Coun. Patricia Ross also acknowledged the efforts of the contractor that worked on the site, Pacific Blasting and Demolition Ltd, which worked long hours and double shifts to complete the project sooner. The city stated that as water supply is switched from wells to Norrish Creek, residents may notice the water tastes different, but all water is safe.

Trio receive Rotary award
Submitted
Receiving the Don Funk Memorial Award are Cors DeLint (far left) and Tom McMillan (second from right), who are joined (from left) by Funk’s sisters Ingrid Chow and Judy Armstrong, Abbotsford Rotary president Angelo Rea, Funk’s brother Ken, Abbotsford-Sumas Rotary president Kim Hissink, and Abbotsford-Matsqui Rotary president Burt van Dalfsen. Missing is award recipient Matt Robinson.
The annual Don Funk Memorial Award was presented on Nov. 12 to three outstanding and exemplary Rotarians. For the first time, all three Rotary Clubs in Abbotsford gave the award to multiple recipients as they celebrated at an interclub luncheon at the Sandman Inn in Abbotsford. The recipients were Cors DeLint from the Rotary Club of Abbotsford, Tom McMillan from the Rotary Club of Abbotsford-Sumas, and Matt Robinson from the Rotary Club of Abbotsford-Matsqui. Each Rotarian was acknowledged by their Rotary Club president and presented with a Paul Harris Fellowship. DeLint, McMillan and Robinson have contributed greatly to their clubs and Rotary International over their many years of service. Don Funk was a member of the Rotary Club of Abbotsford and is remembered as a kind and gen-
erous man who gave countless hours in volunteer service. The Rotary Club of Abbotsford established the award in his honor to recognize Abbotsford Rotarians who have demonstrated outstanding club service and involvement in community or international projects. Funk received Rotary International’s highest honour, the “Service Above Self” award, in 2000 as a result of his efforts in collecting used hospital equipment from B.C. hospitals for distribution to third world countries, along with many other acts of service in his 22 years as a Rotarian. Members of Funk’s family were present at the luncheon to honor and congratulate the three recipients including his brother Ken Funk, his sisters Judy Armstrong and Ingrid Chow, and his nephew Mark Dana.

Agrifair sees profit in ‘13 Agrifair’s board of directors celebrated a successful year at the annual general meeting on Nov. 13. “We had an amazing fair, the expansion created a park-like setting which was obviously enjoyed by our attendees as our attendance increased by 28 per cent over 2012,” said president Ernie Silveri. John Durham, treasurer, presented a positive financial statement. “Even after we took depreciation of $24,000 into consideration, this year we can be extremely proud to boast a profit over $11,000.” Pamela Brenner, general manager, stated “this achievement is the result of combined efforts of many individuals, elected volunteers, sponsorship partners and, of course, the City of Abbotsford. Board and staff are very thankful to all who support the fair.” Elections were held with eight nominees for six available positions on the board. Members
re-elected Asger Hansen, Susan Krochter, Bob Street, Lorne Webster, and two new
directors are Curtis Pope and David VanLanduyt. Neil Watson thanked outgoing directors
Anthony Hirschman, Allan Philps, and Caryn Zimmerman for their service on the board.

Abbotsford’s first and only permanent public market is offering space free to vendors this Sunday, Nov. 24. The space will be open for the first time from 1 to 5 p.m. during the annual Christmas tree lighting in the old downtown core. Railway District Public Market is located at the former Buckerfield’s location at 2518 West Railway St. The market will run on Saturdays and Sundays, with plans to eventually expand to a seven-day operation. Vendors are now being invited to apply for a spot to display and sell their artwork, jewelry, produce, organic food, confectionaries and more. Spaces are available both indoors and out, and vendors can rent a spot on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. The market is the brainchild of Andrea Sandau, who moved to Abbotsford a few years ago from Vancouver and always wondered why there was no permanent public market in the area. The old Buckerfield’s building became vacant, bringing the concept one step closer to reality. Now, the work begins to select vendors to fill the 9,000-square-foot building. Those interested are asked to respond by email to railwaymarket@hotmail.com.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
The S3 really is the sweet spot for drivers that want to have extra power but with a very compliant and comfortable ride. Zack Spencer
Visit the Audi A3 photo gallery at drivewayBC.ca
Audi builds some of the most attractive cars these days still convey the same sense of power and solidity that bigger products portray.
ZACK SPENCER
Question
Audi’s road ahead paved with more than good intentions 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet/S3 MONACO: Over the next 12 months or so, consumers are going to be treated to an onslaught of new entries into the premium market. Not to worry, the next wave of German sedans and convertibles are of a more affordable nature. Recently Mercedes Benz introduced their all-new CLA 250 at an eye-popping price of just $34,000 for a sleek and sexy sedan. Next year we will see the introduction of BMW’s new 1-series and 2-Series sedans, coupes and convertibles. Audi has been ahead of the curve as they helped pioneer this entry-level segment with the original, the A3 sportback, sold in Canada for years. The all-new Audi A3 sedan will arrive in March of 2014 and the convertible and more powerful S3 sedan will arrive in the fall of 2014. This week I had a chance to drive both the convertible and S3 in Monte Carlo, a full year ahead of their introduction here. I suspect the real reason to have a media event so far in advance is to give the buying public some insight and possibly delay buying a competitor’s car. Audi is one of the fastest growing premium brands and a big part of that is the variety of cars they offer. Unfortunately, we will no longer get the sportback, but the fact we get the rest of the line of A3s is exciting for buyers.
Looks The A3 is built off a shared of the quietest on the market because of a special layer of sound insulation. platform with VW called MQB. This The interior headliner is colour-matched platform was a significant investment to the car for an added level of visual for the VW group as it is lighter, bigger pop, plus the roof can be and stronger than the raised or lowered while last Golf platform and the car is driving up to provides a sturdy basis 50km/h. for the A3 Cabrio and S3. The new Cabriolet is 60kg Inside Another lighter than the outgoing strength of Audi is European model, yet interior fit and finish the wheelbase is longer and these new products The A3 Cabriolet and the interior room are covered in first class and trunk more ample. It and S3 confirm that materials. The dash has could be argued that Audi good things do come a centre-mounted screen is building some of the for accessing the easy-toin small packages most attractive cars these use computer controller.

The look. Some think the dash-mounted S3 is especially forceful with a 15mm screens look like an afterthought, but lower stance than the A3 sedan. The this one gets around this problem. air intakes are bigger with more detail; Space is good for such a compact car. the side mirrors are highlighted with The back seat of the S3 sedan is actualbrushed aluminum; and the rear of ly big enough to fit adults up to six feet the car looks more masculine thanks tall and the side windows are much to chunky exhaust tips.

The trunk is large and the rear aluminum around the front windshield seats split and fold for added cargo and trim along the doors and rear volume.

lours, plus an optional diamond pattern stitch can be ordered to take the sporty sedan to another level. I found the seating position very comfortable and outward visibility is not a problem. The Cabriolet seats are fitted with a heater that showers the front passengers with warm air across their shoulders and neck for top-down stints. The weather in Monte Carlo was perfect for the convertible – the sun was shining off the Mediterranean, showcasing this car of opulence at a more affordable price. Drive The Canadian models have not fully been nailed down, as there is still a year to go until the Cabrio and S3 arrive. What is established is the convertible will come with the all-new 2.0L direct injection turbo with 220hp, matched to Audi’s Quattro all-wheeldrive system. A six-speed automatic is confirmed but the duel-clutch S-Tronic transmission might be sold as an option in this model. There will be no manual shift and no diesel, which is a shame, as I drove one of the European versions with this setup and it was superb. The S3 comes standard with a 300hp version of the same 2.0L engine and the duel clutch automatic, and of course, AWD. It’s not as powerful as the 355hp Mercedes CLA 45 AMG, but I feel it has more usable power.

PROTECT your community. We’re in it TOGETHER.
The CLA gets peak horsepower at very high revs, whereas this new S3 pulls from very low speeds up to higher speeds. I experienced this carving the switchback mountain roads just above Monaco. Power is not an issue; I would argue that the S3 is a better everyday car compared to the more nervous feeling AMG competitor. The suspension is more compliant and the power is a perfect combination of drivability and enthusiasm. At the end of our day I sat next to Florian Uselt, Audi’s head of small engine development, and I asked why they did not decide to chase the horsepower rating of 355hp from the Mercedes CLA AMG. His answer makes sense and was confirmed in the way the S3 behaves. He feels that everyday drivability and performance need to be balanced and they look at the car as a whole, meaning the environmental impact and fuel consumption as other targets, not just power. Audi claims a 0-100km/h run will take just 4.9 seconds in the S3 and
use a combined 6.9L/100km (European fuel rating). Verdict It is going to be an exciting time to be in the market for an entry-level premium car over the next year. The A3 Cabriolet and S3 confirm that good things do come in small packages. Pricing has not been estab-
lished for the Cabrio but it was hinted that this model would be roughly the same price as the S3, which has been confirmed at $44,000, roughly $6,000 cheaper than the CLA AMG. The base A3 sedan will arrive in a few short months with a 1.8L turbo gasoline engine, an optional TDI diesel and
the same 2.0L turbo found in the Cabrio. The S3 really is the sweet spot for drivers that want to have extra power but with a very compliant and comfortable ride. The combination of usable trunk space and back seat, simple yet elegant dash, power the driver can use at a lower price than the
competition, is something potential buyer might want to wait a year to try first hand. The Lowdown Power: 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder with 220hp or 300hp. Fill-up: 6.9L/100km (combined). Sticker price: $44,000 for S3 zack.spencer@ddrivewayBC.ca

Hitch up those snowplows the white stuff is flying
‘‘
For most people who are just using a plow for clearing their own driveway, a straight-blade will more than likely be just fine.
’’
Ian Harwood
I know I wrote about winter driving last week and the snow and rain began to fall in various parts of the province but please don’t blame me for this first blast of chilly weather. I’m here to help and at the risk of bringing on a blizzard, I thought I would share some information on snow plows. For most people who are just using a plow for clearing their own driveway, a straight-blade will more
than likely be just fine. Snowsport offers a personal plow that is perfect for the homeowner. This system attaches to a front mounted receiver just as a boat trailer would. The U shaped bracket is connected to the receiver and the snow blade rides up and down on these bars to allow for change in the terrain your plowing. Because there are no hydraulics involved, all you do is back up and the snow blade lies back skimming over the surface. When driving forward the blade automatically re-engages for plowing. When you are finished, lift the blade back over the push frame into the transport
position. The cost of this option is $1,644. K2 is another brand of snowplow designed for the homeowner with acreage. Designed to work with a front receiver hitch, just like the Snowsport, it simply slides in the receiver and locks in place with a hitch lock. The winch is controlled from inside the cab and will raise or lower the height of the blade. The blade comes with a hardened steel cutting edge scraper, rubber snow deflector, skid shoes, and plow markers. It
is available in 82”, 84”, and 88” lengths. Cost is $1,315. If you use a plow to make money, then you will want to be able to do the job quickly and efficiently, so you may want to go with the multi-position. Multi-position plows are up to 50 percent faster due to the fact that you can reposition the blades to all straight-blade positions in addition to the scoop and V positions. This makes the plow adaptable to nearly

any job you need to do. When it comes to the composition of the blade you have the choice between steel and poly. The vast majority of snowplows on the market today come with steel blades, although the poly plows are becoming more and more popular. The reason for the growing popularity is that poly is just as strong as steel and maybe stronger. They also have a lower coefficient of friction, which saves on fuel costs and is easier on your vehicle. The poly plows are also saturated with color all the way through so nicks and scratches do not show like they do with steel, plus they do not rust. Attaching and detaching the plow is very important as well. You do not want to be freezing and trying to deal with getting a blade on and off your truck. Try the attachment system for yourself at the dealer so you can see firsthand how easy or difficult it is to use. Most snowplow makers use a single halogen light bulb, which are not bright enough; some makers have come out with dual halogen bulbs with the option of upgrading to High Intensity Discharge. These HID lights are four times brighter than standard

halogen bulbs and also last ten times as long. Hydraulics is probably the most important part of the plow, along with the controls. Be sure that the hydraulics system is dependable and the controls are simple and easy to use. Go for quality rather than trying to save a buck. Remember "you get what you pay for" definitely applies here. Cost for these units are $6,000 to $8,000 depending on the model.

Why women can negotiate a better car deal Alexandra Straub
For many people, buying a car is a stressful process. Something worse than going to the dentist or for women, a Brazilian waxing. Ouch. It can be a lengthy one too. Furthermore, it doesn’t always start by going from dealership to dealership. In fact, most people have access to the Internet, so they’re doing their research beforehand, prior to even leaving their home and finding themselves on a dealer lot, or with glossy brochures in hand. They look at various vehicle reviews, flip through newspapers (like the one you’re reading now) and ask other car owner’s opinions. When they get to the dealership, that’s when it becomes real. You take the car for a test drive, fall in love with it or walk away from it. When you find “the one” then comes the time to sign on the dotted line. But before you seal the deal, it’s time to negotiate, unless you’re happy with the price given. For women, this can be an even more intimidating process. Getting through the dealer’s door is just the first hurdle they feel they have to overcome. But for Vijay Jeyapalan, of Unhaggle (www.unhaggle. com), which helps Canadian car buyers get the best price on their new car by getting dealers to compete to offer the lowest price – he’d argue that women are better negotiators than men; an idea that challenges societal norms when it comes to car buying. Jeyapalan says, “Before stepping into the showroom or test-driving a vehicle, most women are recognized to have done their homework and pre-purchase preparations. This advantage allows them to properly assess what they want upon arrival and ask the necessary questions to advance the car buying process.” His point centres on the notion that when you know less, you prepare more. With all the tools out there, it’s not as difficult or as time-consuming as it has been in the past. Sites dedicated to women and automobiles are there to assist, as well as female car reviews, lifestyle writers, mommy bloggers and more. He adds that women don’t mind shopping around, browsing at various products, taking the information and then contemplating it. They aren’t always in a hurry to buy right then and there. “Many are convinced that the forceful tactics men use
during negotiations are actually working against them in car buying situations. Men tend to focus on status and act upon superiority, which is a poor way of negotiating. “While the man says, ‘Take
it or leave it,’ the woman might be more collaborative and willing to compromise—thus making them better negotiators. Listening is the key, not aggression and intimidation.”
He goes on to say that, “Women understand that a common ground is usually the best platform for a fair negotiation. Empathy plays a large role in that regards. Being able to view
the situation from another person’s perspective doesn’t necessarily create an advantage, but it does allow the person to understand why they aren’t getting the upper hand.”
Statistics show that more women are making car purchases that ever before. Granted they might not be experts when they walk in the door, but they generally know what they want.
“The image of a damsel lost in a showroom, if it ever actually existed, is no longer something salespeople will see.”

UNDERSTANDING THE 7 DEGREE DIFFERENCE Thanks to their special compound, winter tires offer the elasticity required to ensure maximum grip throughout the cold season, regardless of the road conditions. Summer tires can become hard when the temperatures fall below 7 degrees Celsius, thereby losing the flexibility needed to build up sufficient grip for braking, starting off, and cornering.

Maybe plug-in hybrids are really the way to go of the Ford Fusion Energi a few months ago, which is similarly equipped and impresses equally with its infrequent need to visit the pump. The plug in Toyota Prius is another contender for the green dollar. The Ford is probably the nearest equivalent and sells for around $35,000 so that will be the sticker price to beat. I would like to hear from early adopters of the plug in hybrid technology about their experiences. keith.morgan@ddrivewayBC.ca

L/100km on highway. And the SS (auto) is rated at 13.2 L/100km in city and 7.9 L/100km on highway. Compared to the original ‘67 this Camaro is longer, wider and taller. Bigger wheels, which came in 18inch to 21-inch rim sizes, accounted for much of the height increase. Regardless of the rim size originally ordered, the overall height and tire-to-body gap remained the same, so that it doesn’t detract from the overall look of the car. A major difference between Chevrolet’s Camaro and, its rival, the Ford Mustang is the rear axle and suspension setup. Mustang has a rigid rear axle and the Camaro uses a more sophisticated independent link system with coil springs attached to an isolated sub-frame. It should result in a better riding and handling car, but that debate rolls on. A driving drawback that’s common to many sports cars is rear visibility and small side mirrors don’t help matters. The Camaro’s trunk is also on the small side but all is forgiven when you step on the gas pedal and hit the road. A Camaro Convertible was introduced for the 2011 model year. Other significant changes included an eight-horsepower output increase for the base 3.6-litre V6 and a “Head-Up” dash display was offered (on 2LT and SS trim levels). The base engine was also upgraded to a new “LFX”

Recalls on the 2010 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro:
2012 - The primary stage of the driver’s airbag may not deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted). Dealers will replace the steering wheel airbag coil. 2010 – On vehicles equipped with a V8 engine, the positive battery cable may contact the starter motor housing,
which could cause chafe damage to the cable insulation. This could create an electrical short, which can result in a no start condition, cause the engine to stall without the ability to restart, or cause an engine compartment fire. Dealers will reroute the positive battery cable to ensure adequate clearance.

A drive down memory lane
Drives-U-Crazy Impatient to get past Look, please just get it through your thick skull that I’ve signalled to park and you should let me get tucked into the space before you swing out to pass on this narrow road. It’s not a matter of etiquette, I have the right of way. If you had actually paid attention to my signal many cars back you would not have become stuck behind me and could have made a safe pass in the other lane.
What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
Q: True or False? The 1953 Corvette came in white, red and black. A: False. The 1953 'Vett's were available in one color, Polo White. Q: What was the first car fitted with an alternator, rather than a direct current dynamo? A: The 1960 Plymouth Valiant Q: What was the first car to be offered with a "perpetual guarantee"? A: The 1904 Acme, from Reading , PA. Perpetuity was disturbing in this case, as Acme closed down in 1911.
1953 CORVETTE

Q: What was Ford’s answer to the Chevy Corvette, and other legal street racers of the 1960’s? A: Carroll Shelby’s Mustang GT350. SHELBY MUSTANG GT350
Q: What American luxury automaker began by making cages for birds and squirrels? A: The George N. Pierce Co. of Buffalo , who made the Pierce Arrow, also made iceboxes.

Lower Mainland real estate markets so far aren’t keeping pace with this year’s gains in the stock markets. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver said its composite benchmark price for all residential properties was $600,700 in October – a 0.5 per cent drop from a year ago. Attached duplexes and townhomes were virtually unchanged, while detached houses were down 0.5 per cent year-over-year and apartments were down 0.9 per cent. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB), which includes Abbotsford and Mission, said its benchmark detached house price was up 0.8 per cent to $546,900 from a year ago, while townhouses were down 0.5 per cent and apartments are down 2.2 per cent. “What we’re witnessing is a return to a balanced residential market indicated by prices remaining unchanged or down slightly compared to a year ago,” said FVREB president Ron Todson, who also cited stable inventory levels and the current two-month average wait for a home to sell. The broad Canadian stock market index is up 10 per cent from one year ago, while the U.S. S&P 500 is closing in on a 30 per cent year-over-year gain.

Career fair focuses on immigrants After three successful fairs in Toronto, Canadian Immigrant magazine and Scotiabank are presenting their fourth Career, Education and Settlement Fair for newcomers to Canada, this time in Vancouver. The free, day-long immigrant expo will take place on Monday, Dec. 16, at the Vancouver Public Library, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Every year, thousands of immigrants arrive in Metro Vancouver, with great ambitions for their family’s future. However, many of them face culture shock about the realities of Canadian living – from continuing education to obtaining employment to getting settled into day-to-day life. The goal of the fair is to inform and motivate new Canadians as they begin and continue their settlement journey. It aims to provide essential information and tips on job hunting, accreditation, upgrading of education, settling in and more.
“With a threepronged approach of settlement, careers and education, our fair brings to life our mission to provide resources for new Canadians to succeed,” says Gautam Sharma, publisher of Canadian Immigrant. Various exhibitor booths will be located in the open, main promenade and lower-level rooms of the venue, featuring information about colleges, training, settlement resources and careers/ employers. In addition, there will be several interactive speakers’ workshops led by experts in various fields of interest to new Canadians. Diversity expert, former reporter and bestselling author Gobinder Gill will offer a keynote address on the “8 Key Steps to Getting Hired.” There will also be an interactive accent reduction workshop with expert Andy Krieger. Other speakers will present discussions on foreign credentials, job search strategies, fi-
nances in Canada and more. Space is still available for exhibitors. Those interested can contact Alla Gordeeva, Canadian Immigrant magazine, telephone:

to 2 p.m. at Coles in Sevenoaks Shopping Centre, 32900 South Fraser Way. His latest book is Haunting Vancouver: A Nearly True History (Harbour, $32.95). Full of McCardell’s unmistakable wit and fascinating archival photos, Haunting Vancouver takes the reader back in time for a rollicking tour of Vancouver’s history. Meet the “gassy” personality of saloon owner Jack Deighton, learn of the expensive mistake once made by logging entrepreneur Edward Stamp, and go for a paddle with Pauline Johnson as she mulls over the name she should give to her favourite place: Lost Lagoon. McCardell has earned the loyalty of hundreds of thousands of fans for his tonguein-cheek investigative reporting and humaninterest stories.

THE APPLICATION
INTERVENTION
On October 25, 2013, FortisBC Energy Inc. (FEI) applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (the Commission) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (the Application) for the Huntingdon Station Bypass. Huntingdon Station is located south of Abbotsford, BC approximately 3 km east of the Huntingdon, BC and Sumas, Washington border crossing.
Persons wishing to actively participate in the proceeding must register as Interveners through the Commission’s website at bcuc.com by December 5, 2013. In their registration, Interveners must identify the issues that they intend to pursue and indicate the extent of their anticipated involvement in the review process. Interveners will each receive a copy of all non-confidential correspondence and filed documentation, and must provide an email address if available. Parties must explain how their interests or their clients’ interests are affected and should be able to reference their interests with respect to the scope in the Application and Direction No. 4.
The proposed bypass is intended to remove the Huntingdon Station as a single point of failure on the system and reduce the risk of loss of natural gas supply to customers downstream of the Huntingdon Station in the event of a Station shutdown.
Persons not expecting to actively participate, but who have an interest in the proceeding, should register as Interested Parties through the Commission’s website or in writing, by December 5, 2013, identifying their interest in the proceeding.
The approximate location of the bypass route is shown on the map below. Whatcom Road

John Munro won the B.C. high school curling championship just a few short years past, in 1962. In 2013, he won the Abbotsford masters bonspiel with a slightly older team. I would call that a pretty long and successful career. Munro with his team of Bob Wedel, Bert Creasy and Vern Friesen defeated the Craig Nixon team of Langley in the final held at the Abbotsford Curling Club on Nov. 10. Twenty-four teams, including 12 from the host club, were vying for the title and Munro, skipping his club team, overcame heavy odds to emerge victorious. John, who has reached the esteemed age of 70 years, is living proof that curling is a game for

John Munro’s rink, featuring third Bob Wedel, second Bert Creasy and lead Vern Friesen, won the Abbotsford masters bonspiel. life. He actually started playing at about eight years of age in Salmon Arm as he followed his dad down to the local rink, and according to my questionable mathematics that’s 62 years of curling. He continues the family tradition by encouraging his children
and now his grandchildren to engage in this Canadian institution. When asked how he would compare his B.C. high school championship rink with his masters team, he accurately stated that it was hard to compare them. I note, however, that although
the two teams are dissimilar in age, flexibility, good looks and muscular strength, all the players were indeed bipeds. That is at least something. The Abbotsford Masters Curling Club presently has over 100 participants aged 60 to 91. (I would point out that last age is only one digit short of 911). League curling takes place weekday mornings, and most weekends there are bonspiels in clubs all over the Lower Mainland. Non-curlers and novices are welcome to come out and give it a go at no charge for your first game. Call the club at 604-859-9244 or Bert at 604-856-0100. Good curling!

Mouat’s Etienne makes it official, signs with Huskies we’ve been recruiting for a long time.” “We’ve been watching him for a while and he’s continued to develop and get better,” Romar said. “He’s one of the top four or five prospects in Canada. He is a good shot blocker, has really good hands and can also step outside and knock a shot down. When you look at his frame, you can just see that after a year or so of getting on the weights, working with our strength coach, his upside will be huge.” Etienne is coming off a tremendous Grade

Tristan Etienne, a 6’10” Mouat senior, signed his national letter of intent last Wednesday, sealing a scholarship from the NCAA’s Washington Huskies.
W.J. Mouat Hawks basketball standout Tristan Etienne solidified his commitment to the University of Washington Huskies last week, signing a national letter of intent. Etienne, a 6’10” Grade 12 centre, had given a verbal commitment to the Huskies, an NCAA Div. 1 program, back in July, but had to wait until the NCAA’s fall signing period (which opened last Wednesday) to make it official. Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar, in a press release, noted that Etienne is “a kid

Eagles own podium at Valleys Hansen senior girls add a bronze medal As the high school volleyball season hits the home stretch, the Mennonite Educational Institute Eagles are gearing up for runs at the B.C. championships. On Tuesday evening, MEI’s junior and senior boys teams were in the Fraser Valley finals at the Langley Events Centre, and the younger squad earned the regional banner, defeating Langley Christian in four sets. Kaden Gamache was tourney MVP, while Jared Reid and Carson Bargen earned all-star nods. MEI hosts the junior boys provincials this week, beginning Thursday with opening ceremonies at 10:30 a.m. at the secondary school. The three-day event culminates at 2 p.m. Saturday with the gold medal game. The senior Eagles, ranked No. 1 in the province in AA, suffered an upset loss in the Valley final, falling in three sets to No. 2 Langley Fundamental. Star outside hitter Ben Lieuwen was sidelined with a dis-
located ankle, but he still earned an all-star award, as did teammate Jordan Loewen. MEI’s Grade 8 girls team earned a Valley title last week, beating Pacific Academy in two sets in the final as Emma Gamache picked up MVP honours and Nicola Peters and Sydney Dyck were named all-stars. Another local squad, Chief Dan George, took bronze behind all-star Kristen Spitzig. The Eagles Grade 8 boys won bronze behind an all-star effort from Ethan Bucknam, and the junior girls also notched a third-place finish. MEI’s senior girls finished fourth in the Valley and will play a wild card game on Saturday for a AA provincial berth. Tessa Ratzlaff was a tourney all-star. The Rick Hansen senior girls squad also tasted success last week, winning bronze in the AAA draw at the Valleys and earning their first provincial berth since 2008. Right side Leah Bens was a tourney all-star.

John John passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 12 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital with his family by his side. He will be missed by his wife of almost 50 years Barbara, daughters Brenda (Yoshi) Kawasaki, Cindy (Lyle) Olafson, and cherished grandchildren Kris, Bryanna, Nicole, Steven, Troy and Alex. He is survived by his sister Cathy (John) Johnson, brothers Mike (Trudy) Sykes and Chris (Beth) Sykes, brother-in-law Doug (Sue) Burford and his nieces/nephews. John was an avid sports fan having spent many years as a radio announcer. Barb shared his love of sport as they spent many days on the golf course. John’s deep love and commitment to his family will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in John’s memory to the 2014 Ride to Conquer Cancer (Kris or Nicole Olafson-Super Dave’s Team). Special thanks to the incredible Dr. Meloche, and nurses on Cheam 3 for their care and compassion.
TJEPKEMA Syds Syds Tjepkema slipped away to be with his Maker on November 12, 2013. He leaves behind a legacy of a faithful life, loving the Lord and his fellow man. He will be greatly missed by his wife of 60 years, Gerda, and his children Pieter (Agnes), Geraldine (Cornelis), Arnie (Janna), (Bernd & Tillia), Dorothy (Gabriel), 23 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his daughter Sylvia, grandchildren James and David, and brothers Rit, Johannes, and baby Wiebe. Syds was born in Oude Bilt Zijl, the Netherlands on December 3, 1927. He married Gerda on July 2, 1953, honeymooned to Canada, and eventually settled in New Westminster. Initially Syds worked as an instructor to handicapped children and later owned and operated Columbus Bakery in Sapperton. He retired to Abbotsford and enjoyed bringing the hope of the gospel through songs and deeds both here at home and as far away as Romania and Bulgaria. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Abbotsford Bibles For Missions Society, where Syds volunteered. A celebration of Syds’ life will be held Saturday, November 23rd at 2 PM in Trinity CRC 3215 Trethewey Street in Abbotsford with Pastor Ken Greter officiating.

Christmas AT HIGHSTREET
The fun gets started next Saturday at shopping centre By Jason ROESSLE ABBOTSFORD NEWS
Preparations are well underway for Highstreet Shopping Centre’s first Christmas celebrations, scheduled to start next Saturday. The Holiday at Highstreet will take Christmas shopping and seasonal favourites such as visits with Santa Claus to a new level, according to organizers, with nearly a month’s worth of parades, light shows, live music, gift wrapping, festive holiday food and a holiday market. “I think residents will be proud,” said Highstreet’s marketing director Tanya Curtis. On top of it all, snow is guaranteed. If Mother Nature doesn’t provide any, Highstreet’s eight snow machines will ensure plenty of white, fluffy stuff during the events, with no need to shovel your driveway at home. The 600,000-sq.ft. facility will also celebrate its grand opening on Nov. 30, said Curtis. On that day, the parade starts at 5 p.m., the grand opening kicks off at 5:30 p.m. and Santa lights the tree at 6 p.m. The 65-foot Christmas tree is stocked with 6,000 LEDs that will put on a light show, preceded by a parade at 3 and 5 p.m. every Friday and Saturday from Nov. 30 until Dec. 24. Every Friday within those weeks, there will also be a Holiday Market by Spruce Collective (4 to 8 p.m.), holiday carolers singing your favourite seasonal tunes (4 to 6 p.m.), and DJ Pri spinning family-friendly holiday beats from 6 to 9 p.m. On Saturdays, the Holiday Market runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and at 3 p.m., festive holiday food vendors share their goods, and live entertainment will grace the main stage starting at 6 p.m. Darren Kwiatkowsi, executive vice-president of Shape, the company which developed Highstreet, said they’re striving to create a high level of customer service. Highstreet ambassadors are roaming throughout the mall, helping visitors with directions, and more. There is also free valet parking and free gift wrapping. “Our whole attitude is that we’re trying to be great hosts,” he said. For more information visit highstreetfv.com.

A unique connection with community Looking back on it, Cherri-Anne Williams freely admits that launching her own hair salon at the tender age of 19 was “a little overwhelming.”
“It was something I’d always wanted – I had a lot of motivation,” she says, reflecting on the establishment of Transformations Hair Design in January of 2010. “But being as young as I was, it wasn’t exactly what I thought it was going to be like. “Going from hair school to having a hair salon, you kind of think, ‘Oh, I’m going to go and I’m going to do what I do.’ But I didn’t have a lot of business experience on my side, so that was a challenge.” In the years since, Williams has boosted her business acumen to match her hairstyling skills, taking a variety of courses to get a handle on the complexities of the business side. Her efforts have paid off – with the salon coming up on its fourth anniversary, Williams oversees a staff of three stylists who serve a base of about 500 clients ranging in age from two to 85. Located at 105-34595 3rd Avenue, just north of the Sumas border crossing and across the street from the Huntingdon subdivision, Transformations Hair Design boasts a unique connection with its community. Williams herself lives in Huntingdon,
and many of her clients are from the area.
“Because I live in the neighbourhood and work in the neighbourhood, I really get to know a lot of my neighbours really well,” she says. “I see my clients when I’m walking my dog or when they drop in to say hi. Having that kind of atmosphere and relationship with our clients is something we really love.” Williams also spearheads several charitable initiatives through her business, running food bank drives and making donations to the SPCA. “Being part of the community lets us be a part of our clients’ lives beyond just doing their hair,” she explained. “Being born and raised in Abbotsford, we feel a strong connection to the community, and being a smaller salon, we like to contribute as much as we can to the people in it.” Williams’s efforts, both in building her business and connecting with the community, were recognized recently as she was nominated for the Eric Vanderham Young Entrepreneur of the Year at the 2013 Abbotsford Business Excellence Awards. “It was very exciting – I was very surprised,” she enthused. “I’ve never been nominated for anything like this, so it was kind of a whirlwind.”

Here is information to help you navigate the sometimes-confusing world of sparkling wine.
ma m a ate te e materials and household furniture.
CHAMPAGNE is the king of bubbles and its price reflects its standing. This wine can be called champagne only when it hails from the Champagne region of France and is made in the méthode champenoise (called the traditional method in the rest of the world). The grapes used are restricted to Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, in any combination. If the bottle reads blanc de blancs, then it is just Chardonnay; if it reads blanc de noirs, then it is any combination of the Pinots.

CRÉMANT refers to sparkling wines made in the traditional method that are not inside the boundaries of the Champagne region. Crémants can be made from grapes other than the traditional Champagne varieties. Watch for regional identification such as Crémant
d’Alsace, Crémant de Bourgogne or Crémant de Limoux. CAVA is Spain’s contribution to the world of sparklers. It’s made in the traditional method (the same way champagne is made, with the second fermentation in the bottle) but typically uses indigenous grapes. Cava can be gentler on the wallet than champagne, but offers many of the same beautiful aromas, flavours, textures and food-pairing flexibility. PROSECCO is Italy’s answer to sparkling wine, with bubbles that are often gentler than the three Cs. Prosecco is the name of the grape as well as the wine and is usually made in the Charmat method, with the second fermentation taking place in tanks. This helps keep the price down. SPARKLING WINE is what our local wineries call their bubbles. Backyard Vineyards in Langley and Summerhill, Haywire and Bella in the Okanagan all have great party pours, worthy of any occasion. BRUT means dry in sparkling-wine speak. Extra brut is dryer, but extra dry is sweeter.

Cabin fever can strike even the most optimistic people . . .
CABIN FEVER RELIEVER! Long winter days can quickly bring on feelings of cabin fever. Although cabin fever is not a recognized medical condition, it can compromise wellbeing. Cabin fever can strike even the most optimistic people. Cabin fever normally affects people during the winter months, when shortened days, longer periods of darkness and cold temperatures often force people to remain inside. These factors can lead to depression, boredom, anxiety, and an inability to concentrate. Alleviating symptoms of cabin

1. HEAD OUTSIDE. It may be cold and dreary, but getting outside can be healthy. Take advantage of daylight hours whenever possible. Plan a walk around the neighborhood before you go to work. Otherwise, spend your lunch hour outdoors soaking up the sun’s rays. The sun is an instant mood-booster. 2. BRIGHTEN UP THE INDOORS. Choose energizing colors like yellow, orange and red to decorate the interior of your home. Invest in lights that offer a greater amount of wattage and brightness. Lighttherapy lamps produce bright light that simulates the sun and provides broad-spectrum rays. Sitting in front of one of these lights can alleviate feelings of seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. 3. GROW MORE INDOOR PLANTS. Plants can help filter out stale, stagnant air in the house and add moisture to the environment. Breathing fresh oxygen from these plants can provide you with energy and help you to feel revitalized.

4. INCREASE YOUR EXERCISE ROUTINE. Now could be the time to join the gym or become part of a walking group. Exercise can boost mood, reducing immune system chemicals that can worsen symptoms of depression. In addition, exercise increases body temperature, which may have calming effects, and releases feel-good brain chemicals that may ease depression. 5. THROW A PARTY. The old saying is “misery loves company,” so why not invite friends over and banish cabin fever together? Winter tends to be alienating, as people are more inclined to bundle up and stay indoors. Forcing socialization can brighten not only your own mood but that of others as well. 6. GET OUT OF TOWN. Cabin fever can be temporarily abated by a mini vacation. Head somewhere that is warm and sunny. If you cannot afford a trip to the tropics, a brief jaunt to a spa or relative’s house may banish boredom and get you out of the house. 7. TRY A NEW HOBBY. Attempt an activity that marries winter with getting active. Ideal activities include cross-country skiing, ice hockey, skating, or snowshoeing.
NOVEMBER DIABETES MONTH Diabetes and your eye health: Eye exams are a crucial part of health care for people with diabetes. Changes in the eye due to diabetes can be detected during eye exams and are often the first indication that a person may have the disease. Almost one-third of people with diabetes (type I or II) will eventually develop diabetic retinopathy, a condition that occurs when the blood vessels inside the eye are damaged. Without treatment, it can cause blindness over time, and in the early stages, there may not be symptoms. People with diabetes are also at risk for glaucoma, cataracts and retinal detachment. Please come and visit our doctors of optometry at iCare Ellwood to learn more.

ON? THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS FAST APPROACHING & it’s not too soon to begin planning your party ensembles. The slip dress is a popular trend for 2013, & the modern version is sophisticated & elegant. It doesn’t have to look like something you pulled out of your underwear drawer. A lace design or touches of lace dress up the look. Remember to keep your hair & accessories classic & simple to avoid looking overdone. Also very popular this season – & always on trend for the holidays – are

Toque chic
Winter weather can be quite brutal if a person is outdoors without protection from the elements. Although hats, scarves and gloves are vital to keeping the body warm, some people eschew these winter garments in the name of fashion, but they don’t have to. Fall/Winter 2013 hat trends are quite varied, and these garments can keep a person warm through the long winter while adding a chic vibe to any ensemble. One of the preeminent styles for hats this season is fur. Fur hats (whether real fur or faux) can be luxurious and elegant, easily becoming a focal point. Another trend that comes in all shapes and sizes is the knit hat and scarf combination. The knit can be a tight weave or a bulky, crochet-type pattern. Paired with a matching scarf that will dress up a coat and keep your neck warm, knits are the ideal winter accessory and harken back to days of youth. Those looking for something with a little panache can consider the Frenchinspired beret. Not necessarily as effective asa knit cap at keeping the head warm, berets add style to any look and are customarily worn tilted to one side. Similar to berets, but offering more coverage, ladylike caps are also in high demand this season

sweet Traditions
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter • 1 egg
The holiday season is all about tradition. It makes celebrations special. Once a year we unearth the decorations, the candles, the trees and the recipes from the forgotten corners of our homes. Once a year we have full licence to be tacky and decadent for a few weeks. We carry on traditions from generation to generation and start new ones with our children.
• 1/4 cup black strap molasses
DIRECTIONS
• 1 cup sugar
Sift cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, salt, and flour together.
• 1 tsp cinnamon
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Add the molasses. Gradually stir in your dry sifted ingredients into the wet ingredients. Scoop out large 1 inch balls and cook for 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
• 2 tsps ground ginger • 1 tsp baking soda • 2 1/4 cups flour • 1/4 tsp salt

A great Christmas memory growing up for me is of our family trips to find the annual Christmas tree. The entire family would load up the suburban with a thermos of hot chocolate and head into the woods in search of the perfect tree to bring home. Invariably there were cold feet, battles between siblings in the backseat and a snowball fight, but there was also singing and laughs and we always returned with our tree. Whenever I smell the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger of treats baking, it brings me back to those moments. Every season I make these soft ginger cookies for my family. I hope that when my kids are older they will catch the smell of brown sugar and molasses baking in the air and it will take them back to Christmas with me and the traditions we have as a family. It is sure great to be a dad at Christmas.
