Farm-based recovery homes lose land Joshua House needs new property to launch programs for addicted

Alex BUTLER

Abbotsford News

Angie Korkowski believes that farming can be beneficial to healing addicts. When a man who has been drug-addicted on the Downtown Eastside bottle-feeds a calf, “a softening takes place,” she says. But a project that would combine supportive recovery and farming for 20 men in Abbotsford will not go forward due to issues with the land. Despite the project being approved by council in October, Joshua House – a Christian organization that currently runs recovery homes in Abbotsford for men with addictions – cannot proceed with plans for two 10-bed recovery homes. The owner of the land can no longer offer the organization a lease renewal past February 2015. Now Joshua House is looking for a new land option for helping the men in need – but even a new location will still slow the process and potentially leave 20 men without a recovery resource. Korkowski, executive director of Joshua House, has been living on the farm in the 29000 block of Fraser Highway with her husband Richard, preparing the site. She said they felt it could be up and running in a few months with the first home filled right away. “It’s a sad day for Joshua House.” The organization began its application in 2010. The project went to public Continued on A4

Sentenced ‘It’s going to be a huge loss... we had a waiting list’ for four robberies From A1

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A man charged with three robberies in Abbotsford and one in Chilliwack has been sentenced to a jail term of two years less a day. Christopher John Olson, 38, of Chilliwack previously pleaded guilty to the four robberies and was sentenced Monday in Abbotsford provincial court. Charges of using an imitation firearm in each of the robberies were stayed. The robberies took place in Abbotsford on May 26, 2013 at a liquor store in the 1900 block of North Parallel Road, on June 1 at a bank in the 32100 block of South Fraser Way, and on June 3 at a liquor store in the 30400 block of Cardinal Avenue. Olson also robbed a gas station in Chilliwack on May 24. The Abbotsford Police Department released video surveillance photos from the incidents on May 26 and June 1 to help identify Olson. At the time, he was described as a stocky man in his 30s or 40s wearing glasses and a baseball cap. He was arrested last June in the 30800 block of Peardonville Road in Abbotsford. Olson was released from prison in August on $5,000 bail and, in November, was charged with driving while prohibited in Chilliwack. He also pleaded guilty to that offence and, on Monday, was issued a further 18-month driving ban.

hearing and was approved by council. Korkowski said the application process was expensive for the non-profit group, not to mention the cost of the many improvements done on the property, and now they are back at square one. She said there is no malice towards the landowner who cannot renew the lease, but “now there is nowhere for us to go.” Korkowski currently has many animals on the farm – including 100 chickens, four pigs, three cows and numerous baby and mature goats – which she imagines must be sold if they can’t find a new location soon. In addition to group therapy and 12-step programs, the men would be involved in taking care of the animals and the gardens. That would also help the organization become more self-sufficient, with the food being grown to feed the men on the farm and in the recovery homes located within Abbotsford. The farm also adds to Joshua House’s income by selling eggs and free-range beef to the public. It would also give the men skills they could use to find employment after recovery. “We are an agricultural community – there are a lot of farm jobs that the men could get potentially, once they graduate the program.” Some of the men who are in the in-town facilities have re-

Joshua House’s executive director, Angie Korkowski, said it is hard to find a location given the organization cannot purchase land for recovery homes. quested to be on the farm, and Korkowski said she has heard from a local street ministry that some homeless men have inquired about going to the farm. For now, Korkowski is con-

cerned about the impact on men who could have started their journey to recovery. “It’s going to be a huge loss. We had a waiting list and we have to keep turning (men)

away because our houses are full and the farm isn’t up and running yet.” Korkowski said it is difficult to find a location because they can’t just purchase land for recovery homes. They must once again bring the application through the municipal government, including neighbourhood meetings and a public hearing – and there is always a possibility the plan will be rejected. Joshua House is now looking for a four- to six-acre farm with a long-term rental, or lease with an option to own, as soon as possible. The site would preferably have two homes and must have a barn to keep animals. She said the ministry is ready to do modifications, remodelling and everything else necessary to get the site up and running. “We don’t mind hard work. We’ve done that all our lives.” For information visit www. yahwehsavesrecovery.ca.

Abbotsford high-risk sex offender back in jail Raymond Caissie was living in Surrey after serving 22 years jail for rape Sheila REYNOLDS Black Press

A high-risk Abbotsford sex offender who was living in Surrey after being released from prison last summer is back behind bars. Raymond Lee Caissie, 42, got out of jail last June after serving his full 22-year sentence for the violent sexual assault and unlawful confinement of a 21-year-old museum worker in 1991. The B.C. Corrections Branch issued a warning at the time of his

release because he was considered a high-risk offender due to his varied pattern of crime and the fact that he has offended violently and sexually in an opportunistic and impulsive manner. Surrey RCMP said Cassie, who was under bail supervision, has been in custody since Nov. 21, 2013 after failing to report to his probation officer on two occasions earlier in November. Caissie pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault with a

weapon and one each of forcible confinement and robbery in connection to the incident on July 21, 1991. It was then that he entered Trethewey House, which housed the MSA Museum Society, and encountered a 21-year-old summer student. He threatened her with a knife, forced her to remove her clothes and sexually assaulted her twice. He then took her to south Abbotsford and across the U.S. border to a secluded wooded

area, where he sexually assaulted her, tied her to a tree and left. His conditions upon his release in June included not having contact with his victims, not to possess a knife except for eating and not to have any other weapon or restraint tool, including wire or duct tape. He is also to keep the peace and remain in B.C. When Caissie completed his sentence last year, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts expressed outrage that he was released when he was

still considered dangerous even after serving 22 years in prison. His criminal record also includes theft, break and enter, and possession of stolen property. According to court files, he has gone by the aliases Brett Alen Stevens, Raymond Lee Carlton and Brian Peele in the past. Caissie appeared in Surrey provincial court on Jan. 17 and was scheduled to appear again yesterday. – with files from Vikki Hopes

death of one of their own. Lee Holeczek of CFVSAR said about a dozen members of the local squad will attend the memorial service on Saturday in Vancouver for Tim Jones, the leader and spokesman for North Shore Rescue (NSR). Jones died Sunday at the age of 57 after collapsing from sudden cardiac arrest on a trail on Mount Seymour. Holeczek, who joined CFVSAR 14 years ago, said the local squad worked with Jones and NSR members in training exercises and occasional rescue missions. Holeczek said he also knew Jones from regional search manager meetings that were

held annually. He said Jones was outspoken in his views of the safety of volunteer searchers and the need for more stable funding for search and rescue teams in the province. Jones was also adamant that people should not be charged for the cost of a rescue mission. He was well known for his professionalism, dedication and expertise, Holeczek said. “Tim’s death is a loss to all of us (search and rescue teams), for sure,” he said. CFVSAR serves the communities of Abbotsford, Langley Township and Langley City.

APD numbers counter theory that red car drivers most ticketed

Bringing BC’s Communities together.

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) this week released stats dispelling the myth that the drivers of red cars are picked on by officers handing out tickets. The figures compare the percentage of each colour of car on the road versus the percentage of tickets issued to those drivers. Black and green cars topped the list, with a slightly higher percentage of drivers cited for road infractions compared to the number of those vehicles on the road. The stats cover the period from mid-2010 to the end of 2013. During that period, 46,316 tickets were given to the drivers of 10 different coloured vehicles. Black cars accounted for 15.6 per cent of the vehicles on the road in Abbotsford, with their drivers collecting 17.9 per cent of the tickets. The figures for green vehicles were 6.3 and 7.4 per cent re-

Grey/silver cars had the highest number of tickets because they represent the largest percentage of vehicles on the road. spectively. The stats for red cars were almost even, with 11.6 per cent of that colour on the road compared to 11.8 of those drivers being fined.

The figures for brown, white and grey/silver vehicles went the other way, with a slightly lower percentage of those drivers being ticketed compared to the percentage of those cars.

The biggest difference was with grey/silver vehicles, which accounted for 31.3 per cent of the cars on the road, with 26.6 per cent of those drivers being issued tickets.

Soccer club to undertake new efforts to solve financial shortfall

• We offer full implant and cosmetic dentistry for the whole family.

Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

After facing financial difficulties last year, Abbotsford’s soccer association will do its best to move forward, said Dan Village, the club’s vice-president technical. Last March, the soccer association was forced to refund ticket sales for its annual lottery – which raffles off a car donated from a local dealer – after the organization failed to get the proper licences. The raffle is an important fundraiser for the club, but following the complaint filed to the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch of the B.C. Government, the club was fined $500 and must undergo audits by the gaming commission. While the audit is in progress, the club is unable to run the lottery or access grants from the branch, which accounts for a significant portion of the club’s funding. Village said that additionally, with many registration fees for the year not yet paid, the club is unable to pay wages for some of their coaches and other staff. Village said where the club has been lenient on collecting fees in the past, now they are “playing hardball” to make sure registration fees come in. Last June, it was revealed that the Abbotsford soccer association had a deficit

of more than $70,000. The club had nearly $50,000 in outstanding accounts, including about $11,000 owed to the City of Abbotsford for field fees, $13,100 to the former general manager’s MasterCard, $6,500 under the president’s MasterCard, and about $14,000 to Soccer Express, a sports equipment supply company.

(Abbotsford’s) issues are bound to affect all clubs in the Fraser Valley at some point coming up. Dave Kasper Village said the club is currently sitting at about a $115,000 deficit. He said they hope to soon hear the results of their final audits, and then will be able to apply for the next lottery license and grants. Village said they are working to decrease spending and have “taken a real look at some of the budgeting,” with new efforts and volunteers to help sort out the club’s finances. One area that Village said could help cut costs would be finding more vol-

unteer coaches – though he added the club already has many dedicated volunteers. In 2008, Abbotsford had a total membership of 1,932 players. By 2013, that number dropped to 1,069. Chilliwack’s numbers rose from 1,651 in 2008 to 1,743 in 2013. President of Langley United soccer, Dave Kasper, said he has concerns about the effect of Abbotsford’s troubles, saying the programs in the Fraser Valley interlock enough that other clubs will feel the effect. “As far as we’re concerned, it has ramifications on the whole district. Despite our differences at the executive level, which we never let affect the kids and the soccer, all clubs in the Fraser Valley work together on broader governance issues, program and scheduling issues at all age groups. (Abbotsford’s) issues are bound to affect all clubs in the Fraser Valley at some point coming up.” He said the soccer clubs run as nonprofits and costs are directly associated with the number of registrants in the clubs each year – meaning they shouldn’t be running deficits. Kasper said he hopes the organization finds a way to refocus the club back on the kids who play soccer. Village said that is the club’s intent, and they plan to move forward and provide a great program for Abbotsford’s youth.

QUESTION

WebTalk Food bank items put up for online bids

OF THE WEEK Is it wrong to sell items received as a donation from a charitable organization?

If she isn’t going to eat it, why not sell it for something that she will eat or to put towards something she will use? If she’s selling it for a slight bit cheaper than in stores, then people are saving a buck, plus she is making money to put it towards something needed. What’s the big deal? Jess Valliere

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

I think the point is the food bank gives away food that’s donated. If it’s unwanted by the receiver it should be once again paid forward. If people start to sell off items donated to them it’s going to influence those who are kind enough to donate in the first place to think twice. Pay it forward, don’t profit from it. Tina Robinson

Will you use a new bus service when it runs between Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley in 2015?

There is something about charity in that it is a gift. Once given, the giver has no right to question what the receiver does with said gift. Erin Orion

Positive mentoring more important than winning The boys basketball tournament at Robert Bateman Secondary demonstrated how skilled and competitive boys and coaches are at that level. With only one exception, I was impressed with the attitude of players and coaches. The one exception was a coach who, in the opinion of many spectators, appeared to be more intent on winning than on de-

veloping his players. Early in the game his team was ahead by six points and he called a time out to scold them. Throughout the game he was loud and disrespectful in his instructions and comments to his team. Unfortunately, his thinking and attitude were reflected in rough play by the team. I have long believed coaching young players in any sport is an

opportunity to prepare them for adult life. They are developing attitudes and values they will rely on in adversity and also in success. Sports can teach discipline, commitment, respect for others, staying strong in times of disappointment, and much more. I mentioned the negative approach of this coach to a longtime, highly success-

ful coach of Abbotsford softball teams. He told me that at the beginning of each year he had a chat with the parents of his players. His primary message to them was “don’t be critical when players make a mistake. They are young. Encourage them.” His teams won numerous medals. This coach wanted to help his players develop a sound foundation for

Fantastic garbage program Our planet needs all the help it can get, and I’m grateful for the City of Abbotsford for implementing the bi-weekly pickup. We have a family of four that often puts out only one garbage bin every two weeks. But we have two large compost bins (garbage cans with the compost sticker) and often four recycling bags every week. Our heating bill hasn’t changed either because we close the door when we go outside.

This is in response to Suzanne Bertness’ letter to the Abbotsford News on Jan. 15, speaking out against the new garbage policy. I used to live in Saanich, part of the Capital region, and bi-weekly pickup for garbage was the norm. We did not get weekly pickup of recycling and there was no compost program at the time that I lived there. We dealt with it and learned to limit how much waste we were creating. The new garbage program in Abbotsford is fantastic. It forces people to look at how much waste they are producing and try and curb it.

Komagata Maru exhibit displayed at Sikh Heritage Museum On May 23, 1914, Canadian immigration officials refused to allow 376 immigrants from the Punjab to disembark their ship Komagata Maru at Vancouver harbour. Passengers were eventually forced to return to India, where 20 were killed in a riot. The Sikh Heritage Museum in Abbotsford is holding a year-long exhibition to commemorate the event under the title, “Challenge and Denial – Komagata Maru 100 Years Later, 1914-2014.” The exhibition will be divided into two parts. The first will feature a physical timeline that highlights some key moments

located at the historic Gur Sikh Temple, has been running two exhibits per year since its inception in 2011. This is its sixth official exhibition and the first on Komagata Maru. The Komagata Maru exhibit will be on display from Jan. 26, 2014 until January 2015 at the Gur Sikh Temple (33094 South Fraser Way) in Abbotsford. The official launch is on Sunday, Jan. 26 from 1–3 p.m. There will be a speech from one of the descendants of the shore committee members, as well as a reading from Chanting Denied Shoresby author Tariq Malik.

The second will feature interpretive paintings of the event by B.C. artist Jarnail Singh. “Seeing as this year is the centennial year (1914-2014) of the incident, we thought it would be fitting to devote this entire year to Komagata Maru,” said Sharanjit Kaur Sandhra, coordinator at the Centre for Indo Canadian Studies at the University of the Fraser Valley.

BCAITC was ranked seventh on a list that includes the Vancouver Aquarium, the Vancouver Art Gallery and Science

is connected to agriculture, so it’s great for us to get the word ‘agriculture’ out there.” Founded in 1982 on a volunteer basis, the Abbotsford-based BCAITC is now running numerous programs that connect BC public schools to agriculture and healthy eating. The majority of the $4.2 million is

from the Professional Photographers of Canada. Brownâ€™s first selected image was â€œShoeicide,â€? which is an image of a glossy, red shoe hanging from a hook and dripping blood. It previously won top illustrative image in Canada and British Columbia salons. Brownâ€™s other selected image was â€œRadial Ascension,â€? a photograph of a glass staircase circling a glass elevator which won top architectural image in B.C. Both are part of the Canadian Loan Collection, which consists of 40 photographs selected to represent imaging in Canada for 2013. â€œI was thrilled and honoured to be invited to participate in the World Photographic Cup,â€? Brown said.

â€œThe caliber of international submissions was phenomenal. It inspires me to keep improving my photography and retouching skills as I prepare my next round of competition entries.â€? Canada won one gold and one silver medal. The first World Photographic Cup went to the U.S. team with one gold, one silver and three bronze medals. Brown is a secondgeneration artist and has been pursing photography since he bought his first SLR camera in 1997. He has used his photography skills to support many non-profit organizations locally and internationally such as Matthewâ€™s House, Run for Water, Crystal Gala, Fraser Valley Child Development Centre and We Day.

What I don’t always talk about is the great on-road driving capabilities. The Toyota 4Runner hugs the road and the bucket seats hug you. It is very comfortable to drive and you feel safe driving it. The suspension and shocks give you a firm ride but not enough to give you that washboard effect. Vision while driving is superb, with little to no blind spots. The thick steering wheel and responsive steering makes you feel like you are driving a car.

Motor City looking to a brighter future Keith Morgan

DETROIT – As goes the North American International Auto Show, so goes the industry to which it provides high profile. Every year at this time, journalists from around the world descend by the thousands on this former industrial powerhouse, now economically depressed Michigan city. The Driveway

team has just returned and we all agreed there was an air of optimism on the show floor that we haven’t witnessed for some years. Representatives of the Big Four domestic manufacturers believe they have turned the corner and the fellow scribes appear to agree that the North American brands have been revitalized. Today in print and online, we each pick five vehicles that

caught our eye. Yours truly has been a fan of Honda’s premium Acura brand. All solid performers but in recent years the design team has let the range down with uninspiring looks. The 2015 Acura TLX Prototype unveiling suggests the team is out of its uninspiring funk. This performance-luxury sedan, which will launch this summer, looks fresh and sporty. It will replace the

TL and the TSX and will be the design leader as new models are revealed during the next few years. TLX customers will be able to choose from two-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations; two high-performance, highly fuel-efficient new engines – 2.4-litre inline four and a 3.5-litre V6; two new advanced transmissions; and the next generation Acura Super-Handling

have large, long doors, the reach behind the shoulder to grab the seatbelt can be a stretch. The ATS Coupe has motorized carriers to “hand” the seatbelt to the driver and front passenger upon entry. The Toyota FT-1 coupe concept caused a stir among those hungering for a return to the days of the Toyota Celica/Supra. Company officials were coy about whether it will go into production but judging by the media attention it will. The Volkswagen Beetle Dune has a rugged off-road look, largely due to the raising of the body by 50 mm and the addition of 19-inch wheels with large tyres. Just like the old days, the new Beetle features a rear-mounted ski-rack. The concept is actually a return to an idea from January 2000, when VW showed the New Beetle Dune concept in Los Angeles. That was a flight fancy, this concept is built on the current production model and the German manufacturer is looking for the nod to proceed from Beetle buyers.

crossover concept, unimaginatively dubbed the All Road Shooting Brake concept. It’s based on the forthcoming TT, this concept uses the S3’s 2.0TFSi engine of 292hp. It also gets a hybrid motor between the engine and the S-Tronic transmission. The market for the wagons is not big on this side of the pond but this could be a game changer. It combines the elegant lines of a wagon with the wide and higher stance of an offroad capable vehicle. “The show car combines sex appeal, highly efficient e-tron-quattro technology that produces 300 kW of power yet only consumes 1.9 l/100 km of fuel and cutting-edge electronic applications,” says Audi board member Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg. The 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe is based on its sedan sibling and should be available by mid-summer, starting at the mid $30,000s. The base power plant is a 2.0-litre, turbocharged inline four-cylinder, generating 272 horses, and a 3.6-litre V6, 321 hp is also available. Interesting little feature: because coupes typically

Zack’s Five Hot Picks from Detroit

‘‘

The Corvette won the North American Car of the Year award, exactly a year after it debuted.

Zack Spencer

’’

The motor city was abuzz at this year’s Detroit Auto Show. The car industry is roaring back in the US and we have record sales in Canada, so there are many new products for all segments of the market.

Corvette Z06 The performance Corvette Z06 got its name back in

the 1960s when customers could order a high performance “Z06” package that delivered a track-ready Corvette. Today Chevrolet is still delivering track-ready Corvettes, now they come with the Z06 name. The allnew 7th generation Corvette Stingray was unveiled last year in Detroit and it won the North American Car of the Year award, exactly a year after it debuted. This year it was all about Z06, featuring a 625hp all-new supercharged engine with an all-new eight speed automatic transmission and for the first time the roof panel is removable for open air driving. Using the same all-aluminum platform as the regular Stingray, this new car is lower, with bigger tires and brakes, more

cooling inlets and in initial testing, is the fastest Corvette Chevrolet ever made. The Z06 will be available in the early part of 2015.

Ford F-150 Any new F-150 is a huge deal for Ford as it is the number one selling truck in Canada for the past 48 years and the best selling vehicle overall. The big news is that the all-new F-150 is now constructed using lighter high-tensile steel in the chassis, and high strength aluminum alloys in the body, mostly the trucks box. This combination contributes to a 318-kilogram reduction in weight, helping to make the truck stronger and much more fuel-efficient. There will be four engines available from a base 3.5L V6 to a 5.0L V8 and two Ecoboost

Corvette Z06 engines, a 2.7L and 3.5L V6. Ford did not have specific fuel economy numbers but there will be a significant improvement over the existing truck. Other improvements include an improved tailgate stepladder that folds away easier and power locking and folding tailgate.

The New 2015 F-150 will be available later this year.

290hp 3.6L engine found in many other Chrysler products. The Chrysler 200 will have front wheel drive or optional all wheel drive, derived from the same system used in the Jeep Cherokee. This will provide Chrysler

uses the same Alfa Romeo platform found under the Dodge Dart and impressive Jeep Cherokee. The strong points of this platform are excellent on-road manners with a quiet interior and superb handling. There will be a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine with 184hp or the optional

Lots of ‘ooh-aah, what a car’ at Detroit auto show Flocks of international journalists roamed the floors of COBO Hall in downtown Detroit on the occasion of the 25th annual North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). With a plethora of automo-

list, let’s start with some concepts. Ah, MINIs. For over a decade, they have been romping the streets and causing people to smile, whether driving them, sitting in them or watching them.

At the NAIAS, the masses were introduced to the MINI John Cooper Works Concept. Not a whole heck of a lot of information was released but you can bet your bottom dollar that it’ll be fast. There are large air inlets, 18-inch

of delivering production vehicles that bear a strong resemblance to the concept that preceded them, and the GT4 Stinger provides a possible and highly provocative glimpse into Kia’s future. And if it’s the future we’re after, it looks good. Moving from fantasy to fiction, we have the Honda Fit. It’s a spectacular little car and has been a popular selling vehicle in Canada. And it’s all new for 2015. Up front, the Fit sports a new grille and headlight design. Around back, there are rear reflectors and LED

lb.-ft. of torque. That’s an increase of 13 horsepower and 8 lb.-ft. of torque in comparison to the outgoing engine. The VW Golf R is no stranger to Canadians. It has been sold here for the last couple of years. But they’re kind of like the tooth fairy. You hear about them, but you rarely see them. Why? Because only a few hundred were allocated for Canada. But I’m hoping such is not the case with the upcoming 2015 Golf R. Making its debut at the show, you can liken it to a doughnut. A doughnut that is fat free, calorie free and has sprin-

tition lined up in the form of the Subaru WRX STI. With a 305 horsepower horizontally-opposed turbocharged boxer engine, multi-differential controlla-

ble all-wheel-drive system, and a six-speed gearbox, those looking to take shortcuts off the beaten path can do it. And do it in style.

NEW YEAR. NEW LUCK. NEW HONDA.

Subaru WRX STI taillights run along the hatch with a chrome tailgate garnish and rear diffuser. Furthermore, Honda keeps their exclusive Magic Seat, which offer multiple configurable seating positions. Translation, the Fit provides an unrivaled 52.7 cubic feet of cargo space when the second row seats are folded flat. It also gets a bump in horses. Included is an all-new direct-injected 1.5-liter DOHC i-VTEC engine producing 130 horsepower and 114

kles on top. Yes, it’s just that delicious. The all-wheel drive 5-door has plenty of appeal. But with the option of outfitting it with a 6-speed DSG with paddle shifters (it was previously only available with a 6-speed manual,) it might just reach out to a few more takers. That’s if we can get our hands on them. Oh, and there’s an allotment of 290 horsepower, too. Yum. Speaking of cars with four cylinders and all-wheel drive, the Golf R has some compe-

Curb lane crazies 2

When you head out today count how many times, a car zips up right behind you then cuts into the curb lane to pass. What makes it so fascinating for me is that invariably the lane to the left is free yet they can’t resist the urge to curb. While most of us are happy to pass sensibly on the left and leave that lane for slow-pokes, old folks and parked cars, they insist on turning it into their own private race track. What drives-u-crazy? kmorgan@blackpress.ca

Ford Edge 2011 to 2013: Sexy styling and superior road manners offers better fuel economy, sexier styling and superior road manners, yet the Edge is packed with practical utility features. Focusing on a popular vehicle choice has advantages for used vehicle shoppers. To start with, there should be a larger selection of used product available out there and this allows you to be a pickier buyer. You might even get the exact colour and content you want. Parts and servicing are also less of an issue and generally less expensive.

‘‘ Stylish yet practical, the good ride qualities of the Ford Edge make it an excellent road trip vehicle.

Bob McHugh

’’

The first big styling revamp of Edge came with the 2011 model year. While mainly a front/rear exterior restyling job more than 60 per cent of its components were redesign and the interior was completely re-worked. It also earned Ford Edge the overall Best New Utility Vehicle Award from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). The interior make-over included the introduction of MyFord Touch, an advanced connectivity system that has its critics in the media and consumer groups. Ford has tried to address these user issues with system updates. The main touch-screen is divided into four colour-coded sections (Phone, Audio, Climate and Navigation) and it can be operated with voice commands. A major under-hood change followed in 2012 with the introduction of Ecoboost, an engine series that has revitalised the entire Ford product line. The turbocharged 2.0 litre (240 horsepower) four-cylinder engine with direct fuel injection in the Edge provides excellent power and great fuel economy. The claimed city/highway fuel economy is 9.9/6.6 L/100 km. Edge comes in three frontdrive trim levels SE, SEL and Limited editions. It’s also offered with a 3.5-litre V6 engine that can produce 285 horsepower. City/highway fuel economy is 11.9/8.0 L/100 km. This engine is

Ford Edge is stylish yet practical also mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and there’s an optional all-wheel drive system. The top “Sport” edition of Edge comes with a 3.7 litre V6 that can produce 305-horsepower and comes with huge 22-inch polished-aluminum wheels. The Ecoboost editions are strictly front-drive and come with an aero body kit package with an active front grille, which has concealed shutters that controls air flow through the radiator and the engine bay. The aero body kit includes unique side skirting, side mirrors and rear liftgate spoiler. Edge is bigger on the inside than it might appear from the outside. The cabin is spacious and the room provided for rear passengers is particularly good. Rear riders also get adjustable seatbacks and top trim levels come with a power folddown feature that allows the seatbacks to be remotely released by switches in the rear cargo area. Two highly desirable (originally optional) active safety features are Blind Spot detection and Cross-Traffic Alert. The blind spot system not only warns when another vehicle is lurking or approaching in an adjacent traffic lane. When backing out of a parking stall, the cross traffic alert system can detect and warn of vehicles approaching from either side. Stylish yet practical, the good ride qualities of the Ford Edge make it an excellent road trip vehicle, especially with the fuel-saving Ecoboost engine under hood.

Rob Sass

With baby boomers seemingly more aware of their own mortality these days, bucket lists of things to do before one’s demise have become increasingly popular. Here are five of the cars everybody should drive before kicking the bucket, taking the big dirt nap, biting the dust or, well, you get the idea:

1. 1967 Corvette

Corvette that ordinary civilians weren’t supposed to be able to buy. Rather, it was built to be taken racing by privateers (GM was still observing a ban on manufacturer supported racing). Although a regular production option, the L88 was expensive and came with almost no creature comforts. The horsepower was deliberately underrated on the option sheet to come in below the regular 427-cubic-inch 435-hp engine to further discourage Average Joe buyers. In reality, the L88 could make over 500 hp on racing fuel. Acceleration was shattering. It’s the ultimate classic Corvette Sting Ray.

2. 1967 Shelby Cobra 427: Carroll Shelby found that there was almost no spindly little British sports car that couldn’t be improved with the insertion of an American V-8. Under Shelby’s direction, the Sunbeam Alpine became the

1967 Shelby Cobra 427 Sunbeam Tiger, and the AC Ace became the vaunted Shelby Cobra. The baddest version of the Cobra sported a 427-cubic-inch engine that was similar to the one developed for NASCAR. Cobras are hot, noisy and cramped, but they’re really the greatest expression of the muscle car ethos— cram the largest possible engine into the smallest package.

3. 1992-98 McLaren F1: The F1 was everything a supercar should be but so seldom is. Many modern supercars are as much a

fashion accessory as a car. Nobody ever bought an F1 as a bauble. Because of the car’s somewhat minimalist nature, and the fact that it was offered only with a conventional three-pedal manual transmission, posers didn’t apply. It’s a reasonable certainty that Kanye West doesn’t own an F1. With three seats and a center driving position, plus reams of Formula One technology and incredible performance (0-60 in 3.2 seconds, ¼ mile in 11.6 and a top speed of 241 Continued on page 33

mph), the F1 is the one supercar that should be on any automotive bucket list. 4. 1976 Porsche 930: Of all the cars on this list, the earliest version of the Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera (otherwise known as the 930) is probably the one most capable of preventing the fulfillment of one’s automotive bucket list. Early 930s were somewhat diabolical cars with tires that were a bit too small and a turbocharger that lit up suddenly and with a vengeance. The turbo’s abrupt nature could make for scary driving at inopportune times (like the apex of a corner). But it’s the car’s ability to bite back that can make it so much fun and a genuine accomplishment to master.

1967 Corvette L88

5. 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Hemi Superbird: The Superbird appeals to anyone with a “stick it to the man” sensibility. Its whole reason for being was to introduce the streamlined nose cone and giant wing into Chrysler’s NASCAR efforts back when NASCAR still had homologation requirements for race cars. Although available with Mopar’s excellent 440-cubic-inch V-8, it’s the 426 Hemi that belongs on anyone’s automotive bucket list. Between the view over the long hood and nose cone and the view out the back with the five-storey-tall wing, the Superbird driving experience is like nothing else.

Chess club meets weekly at library A chess club being held every Sunday in Abbotsford is welcoming new members. The Abby Junior Chess Club runs every Sunday from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Abbotsford Community Library, 33355 Bevan Ave., and is open to kids ages five to 17. The club was formed in 2012 by Monica Grover, whose son had participated in

Third kids’ book for local author Abbotsford author Irmgard Schippmann has released her third children’s book. The latest book by Schippmann, who uses the pen name “AnaBella,” is titled Caroline’s Sticky Situation and is illustrated by Valerie Woelk. It is about a hedgehog named Caroline and her husband Prickle, who wake up one morning and prepare for a garden party later that day in celebration of Caroline’s 24th birthday. When the guests arrive and the party begins, it is disrupted by Stanislaus, a tomcat. But Caroline turns things around, and the party is a success. Schippmann was inspired to write upon the encouragement of her two granddaughters, Isabella and Tatiana, who loved to listen to her stories. Her first two books, Kira: The Mysterious Disappearance and The Stranger, were both released last year. All three books are available at House of James in Abbotsford. CLASSIFIEDS ONLINE

Bob McHugh For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, I’ve been writing about cars for over 25 years and I’m a long-term member of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). My auto background is mainly in the service side of the industry as I’ve always had a keen interest in knowing how things work. Especially those oily, greasy parts that make the wheels go around. My first car was an early sixties Triumph Herald Coupe (web example photo) that was traded-in to a dealership where I worked as an apprentice auto mechanic, back in Dublin, Ireland. It spent more time off the road, being repaired, than on the road, during my time as its owner. A Herald had the same chassis and a similar powertrain as the much nicer looking Triumph Spitfire, which was sold in North America. At the BC Automobile Association I initially worked as a mobile Vehicle Inspector in the Vehicle Inspection Service. The vehicle was an AMC Gremlin and it was painted to look like a cut-away or skeleton view of the car’s mechanical bits. A small car with a big gas-guzzling engine, a Gremlin was an odd choice of vehicle for that job and the paint job just added to its weirdness, yet I grew to like it. Currently I enjoy serving on the AJAC Technology Awards panel and have also been involved in the promotion of trade skills training for young people in BC. When time permits, I still like to get my hands dirty and give my son a helping hand with, his pride and joy, a 1966 Ford Thunderbird coupe. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

The club now has a chess coach and is run on a drop-in basis. Grover’s son, Kyle, and parent volunteers also teach participants how to play the game. Professional chess mats were purchased from funds donated by parents, and the club hopes to buy chess clocks in the future to train the kids to play in

tournaments. The group also currently helps Mt. Lehman Elementary with its chess club, and is available to do the same for other interested schools. Grover says chess teaches children patience and sportsmanship. “Chess is an amazing game to learn,” Grover

says. “It really broadens your sphere of thinking and teaches you strategies which you can actually transfer into your real life.” Registration for the club is not required. For more information, call Monica at 604-857-3724, Chana at 778-242-6250 or follow “Abby Junior Chess Club” on Facebook.

‘Tin man’ collects funds for Variety charity

Bob Geddes’ favourite sound is that of a coin dropping into a tin can. That’s because it means he’s raised another few dollars for Variety – the Children’s Charity. One of the ways that

Variety raises funds for children who have special need is through the sale of gold heartshaped pins. Geddes, who lives in Abbotsford, has a couple of slotted cans firmly secured to his

wheelchair, and he invites anyone who will listen to buy a pin or make a donation. “It’s for the kids, they need more help,” he says. “If I sell a heart (pin) to a person, then they can help a child

too.” It all started 15 years ago when Geddes asked the activity aide at his residence if there was a way he could help other people. After doing some research, they contacted

Chad Billins (41) is having a terrific season, highlighted by an AHL all-star game selection and his NHL debut with the Calgary Flames.

Top Billins: All-star blueliner ignites Heat offence Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Chad Billins, soft-spoken gentleman that he is, isn’t one to pump his own tires. Ask the Abbotsford Heat defenceman to reflect on his electric first half of the season – during which he’s racked up 31 points in 38 AHL games (thirdmost in the league among blueliners), made his NHL debut, and been selected to the AHL all-star game – and he attempts to deflect every shred of credit to his teammates and coaches. Of course, those same folks will sing Billins’s praises with minimal prompting. “Chad’s a great player,” enthused John Ramage, a rookie blueliner who has been Billins’s most frequent defence partner this season. “He’s a really special player with the puck – he can do things not a lot of defencemen can do.” “He’s a compliment to play with,” chimed in Tyler Wotherspoon, another rookie D who took a turn alongside Billins recently. “He’s a guy who’s always supporting you, he’s talking with you, and he’s

Ward noted that while 6’7” Heat blueliner Chris Breen is able to have success by wrapping up opponents along the boards, the smaller Billins needs to learn to use timely bumps and box-out techniques to keep foes off-balance. “Your stick positioning and body positioning is that much more important when you lack the size,” Billins said. “I think the defensive part is what I need to focus on, and hopefully I get another chance (in the NHL). “You get a taste of it, and it just makes you hungry.”

The Abbotsford Heat and Utica Comets have been at opposite ends of the AHL standings throughout the 2013-14 campaign, but you'd never guess based on their recent head-to-head match-ups. The Comets (13-20-5),Western Conference cellar-dwellers all season long, have been awfully hard on the Heat, despite the fact that Abbotsford (26-14-2) has occupied the upper reaches of the standings. The Heat won their first two games vs. the Vancouver Canucks' new affiliate this season, but the Comets have since fashioned a four-game win streak vs. Abbotsford, including three victories in regulation. Heat head coach Troy Ward believes a variety of factors have played into his team's recent results against Utica. The Comets are a big, physical, veteran outfit, and as such are a tough match-up for Abby's smallish forward corps. There's also a timing factor – the Heat's recent dates vs. Utica have coincided with team slumps and NHL recalls. Ward also believes his squad has played better at times against the Comets than the final score has indicated – on Dec. 20, for instance, the coaching staff had the scoring chances at 12-8 for the Heat, but they lost 3-0 with an empty-net goal. "It becomes almost a mental thing, like, 'Oh here we go, it's Utica, we suck against these guys,'" Ward said earlier this week, looking ahead to Friday-Saturday matchups with the Comets at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (7 p.m. start both nights). "It isn't like they've dominated us. It's just timeliness of goals, our maturity level, and the fact we've played them when we haven't been all that healthy mentally. "The best way I can say it is, they're a professional hockey team with professional athletes, and so are we. You've got to be ready for everybody, and anybody can beat anybody on a given night." Both teams have received reinforcements from their NHL parent clubs within the past week. The Canucks sent centre Jordan Schroeder to the Comets on a conditioning assignment, and he'll play both games vs. the Heat this weekend. He's been sidelined since mid-October with a broken ankle. The Heat, meanwhile, got offensiveminded defenceman Derek Smith from the Calgary Flames on Sunday.

Wotherspoon, Ramage learning the ropes Heat’s prized first-year defencemen are growing up fast Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Tyler Wotherspoon’s size and skating ability are his greatest assets.

If the best elements of Abbotsford Heat rookies John Ramage and Tyler Wotherspoon’s skill sets could somehow be combined in one player, you’d have an NHL-ready defenceman. Ramage, 22, boasts a hockey intelligence that’s beyond his years of pro experience – his pedigree includes four years with the NCAA’s Wisconsin Badgers and the input of his father Rob, who played more than 1,000 NHL games. The flip side of the coin is, his physical skills, in terms of skating and puck-moving, need work. His offensive stats (one assist in 35 games) bear witness to that. By contrast, Wotherspoon’s greatest strength is his physical gifting – at 6’2” and 203 pounds, he’s got good size and skating ability. But he’s still learning nuances of the game. “They’re kind of on opposite ends of the spectrum,” Heat head coach Troy Ward analyzed, “but they’ve both made good strides. “The Ramage situation is, growing up, at dinner time, every conversation might have had to do with pro hockey. He has a real good feel for the game. He makes some errors, but he recovers because he feels the game so well. “Wotherspoon’s situation, we need to grow him a little bit in how he feels the game and when he senses danger.

“They’re both at the age where they can have blow-ups, for sure, but they’re far less, and they’re both far more comfortable.” Wotherspoon, a 20-year-old Surrey native who is making the jump to pro hockey after spending the past four seasons with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League, said he’s grown more comfortable as the season has gone on. “It’s been a challenge, but it’s been fun,” said Wotherspoon, who has one goal, seven assists and a +11 rating in 31 games. “I’ve had some ups and downs, but that comes from being a rookie. I feel like I’ve taken the challenges head-on and grown from everything along the way.” Ramage said the biggest adjustment to pro hockey has been learning the consistency required. “It’s a different level, and it’s a business now,” he said. “You’re held accountable by your coaches and teammates, and it results in wins and losses. It’s definitely been a bit of an adjustment, but it’s been a good adjustment. . . It’s been a great team to be a part of.” Ramage is still looking for his first goal, but he’s been working hard on his offensive skills in practice and came close on Jan. 17 vs. Grand Rapids, ringing a shot off the post. “It’s coming, I know it’s coming,” he said with a chuckle. “Eventually.”

Off-ice life for pro hockey rookies is ‘pretty magical’ Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

To hear Ben Hanowski, Corban Knight and Josh Jooris tell it, the off-ice lives of rookie professional hockey players contain a lot of very mature, sophisticated elements. To wit: an emphasis on proper nutrition, carpooling to work, staying active away from the rink, and the like. But it's all seasoned by gleefully immature shenanigans which are the natural byproduct when a trio of 23-year-olds share a house together. "It's pretty magical," Hanowski said with a chuckle. "We're obviously first-year pros, no spouses or anything, and we're just kind of hanging out. It's just nice to not always be by yourself and have other people to hang out with." Hanowski paused a beat. "Even if one of them is Corban," he added, as Knight and Jooris cracked up.

NCAA grads – Hanowski went to St. Cloud State, Knight to North Dakota, Jooris to Union College – who were acquired by

the NHL parent Calgary Flames within the last 10 months. They conceived of their current living arrangement back in September at the Young Stars prospects tournament in Penticton – Hanowski and Jooris were roommates and, in Jooris's words, "thought we'd have a nice home together." They added Knight to the crew, and rented the upper suite of a house after being assigned to the Abbotsford Heat later in the month. Hanowski gave his Twitter followers a glimpse into the goofy vibe at their abode on Dec. 1, when he tweeted a heartwarming photo of the trio posing alongside personalized Christmas stockings. "We're kind of the party house, but no one ever comes over," Knight said, eliciting more cackles from the others. "It's just us three partying together. "There's always someone terrorizing another Continued on A42

guy, and the other guy laughing. There's a lot of jokes." From the sounds of things, Hanowski is responsible for most of the pot-stirring. He occupies the master bedroom – a fact he attributes to his alpha male status, but which Jooris quickly clarifies was won in a game of mini golf during training camp. "He beat me in a three-hole playoff – tough loss," Jooris acknowledged with a wince. "Hano's got alter egos," he continued. "I don't know if I really want to go into detail on those, but he kind of scares me. "There was one night where Hano wouldn't let Knighter go to sleep unless he let him tuck him in." To which Hanowski scoffs. "I live with two princesses, basically," he asserted. "I just strike a little fear in them and cement myself as the alpha male." Knight and Jooris have their own idiosyncrasies. They're really into the dynasty mode of the NHL 14 video game, playing together as the Calgary Flames, naturally. The game features full NHL and AHL rosters, allowing the play-

ers to virtually recall themselves from the minors. "We called Knighter up early and he really solidified his spot (on the NHL roster)," Jooris said. "I got too cocky. My guy was doing real well down in the minors and I called him up, and he had a tough couple games so I had to send him back down." "He's hard on himself," Knight chimed in. Recently, Hanowski was startled to hear an outburst of noise from the living room. "They were making a big push for the playoffs (in NHL 14) and had a couple big wins, and there might have been some hugs thrown around," he said, shaking his head. "We were pretty into it," Knight acknowledged. "It was like winning the Stanley Cup. We were hugging, screaming, running around the house." As for the domestic tasks, the trio handle things reasonably well. They keep the place pretty tidy, and do their own cooking and shopping. But even within a discussion of their shopping habits, Hanowski is able to mine chirping material.

"We were grocery shopping today, and [Jooris] was looking at my cart, like, 'What did y'all get?'" Hanowski said with a chuckle. "And then he went and got the exact same things and put them in his cart." Heat head coach Troy Ward, asked what he imagines life in the Hanowski/Knight/Jooris house might be like, likens them to the Three Stooges. "I don't know who Larry is, I don't know who Moe is, and I don't know who Curly is, but that's the three of them, right there," he said. "They're kind of all a little bit goofy. "I can imagine them all standing in Save-On-Foods in the same line, and I think the cashier would hear all three voices at once." Jokes aside, the trio believe that their shared off-ice experience has helped them transition to pro hockey. "It helps keep your mind off the game when you need a break," Hanowski said. "If you're not living with guys and you're at home and you're struggling, you're moping and being negative. But with us, we're always having fun, and that keeps things light."

Skiers qualify for Games

Three athletes from the Hemlock Ski Club, including Abbotsford native Megan Kardoes, qualified for the BC Winter Games last week by virtue of strong performances at a race in Whistler. Kardoes and teammates Katrina Voss and Lena Liljedahl, both of Port Moody, notched solid finishes in the U14 girls division at a competition which drew 185 athletes from southwestern B.C. Voss won a silver medal in the giant slalom and added third- and fourth-place results in a pair of slalom races. Kardoes won her first ribbon in the U14 age group with

an eighth-place finish in the giant slalom, while Liljedahl’s best finish was 19th in the slalom. Kelsey Voss (ninth in slalom) and Nick Mitro (11th in giant slalom) also posted solid finishes for the Hemlock squad in the U16/U18 divisions. The BC Winter Games run Feb. 20-23 in Mission, with Hemlock Resort – located 45 minutes east overlooking Harrison Lake – playing host to the alpine and freestyle skiing events. For more information about the Hemlock Ski Club and its ski racing program, visit hemlockskiclub.com.

Abby Senior coach Prentice Lenz noted that with B.C. high school boys basketball expanding from three

tiers to four this season, the rankings have been unusually volatile as teams jockey for position in their new-

Lenz also emphasized it’s important for his team to keep the No. 1 ranking in perspective. “It’s kind of fun to be ranked at the top,” he acknowledged. “But we’ll continue talk to the boys about taking it for what it’s worth. “In the end, what will matter is the next eight weeks of play and if we’ll come prepared to work. That’s what susses out who’s No. 1 and who isn’t.” The Panthers moved up to the top spot from No. 2 after several strong showings against AAAA opponents at their home Snowball Classic tourney last week. They dropped a 75-74 decision to the W.J. Mouat Hawks – leading late before the Hawks hit a game-winning threepointer – and beat MEI 88-83. The Eagles girls made a surprising run to the finals of the Top 10 Shootout, highlighted by a stunning 71-38 blowout win over former No. 2-ranked Oak Bay of Victoria and a 72-60 comeback victory over No. 6 Riverside of Port Coquitlam. They dropped a 92-59 decision to No. 1 Brookswood in the title game, and Taylor Claggett and Tessa Ratzlaff were tourney all-stars. “Everything clicked on Friday (vs. Oak Bay),” MEI coach Rick Thiessen said. “It was like we could do nothing wrong and they could do nothing right. We kept our momentum, and they couldn’t recover. “All the classic coaching cliches – people stepping up, believing in each other – applies to this group. It’s breeding a sense of optimism that we can play with anyone.” Other senior basketball teams from Abbotsford mentioned in the rankings include the W.J. Mouat Hawks girls (No. 6 in AAA), the Rick Hansen Hurricanes girls (No. 7 in AA), the Yale Lions boys (No. 9 in AAAA), the Mouat boys (AAAA honourable mention), and the MEI boys (AAAA honourable mention). The Single A girls rankings were not released this week.

UFV hoopsters doing breast cancer fundraising, mental health awareness The University of the Fraser Valley basketball teams are spearheading a pair of charitable initiatives in the coming week. Q The Cascades women’s squad is hosting their annual fundraising events in support of CIS Shoot for the Cure, which gen-

erates funds for breast cancer research. The team is holding a dinner and silent auction on Jan. 30 at Phoenix Lounge, featuring former Canadian Idol competitor Greg Neufeld. The event runs from 7 to 9 p.m.,

and tickets are $20 and include a burger, fries and a drink. All proceeds go to the B.C./Yukon chapter of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. For tickets or to donate an item for the silent auction, call Alexa

McCarthy at 604-7516332 or email her at Alexa.McCarthy@ufv. ca. The team will also be raising funds in conjunction with their Feb. 1 home game vs. the Brandon Bobcats. The Shoot for the Cure initiative was

launched in 2008 by the CIS Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, and has raised over $600,000 for breast cancer research in the years since. Q UFV’s home basketball games vs. the Regina Cougars on Jan.

31 will feature a mental health awareness focus (5:30 to 9 p.m.), in partnership between UFV Athletics and Fraser Health’s Speak Up Program. The goal is to underscore the importance of mental wellness in

a positive and uplifting manner. The event will feature educational segments between games and at halftimes, along with booths and art exhibits run by Speak Up volunteers and UFV Counselling Services.

Sports In Brief

Soccer all-stars

Snuggle up to a FREE TV.

Six players from the Abbotsford Maguson Ford United men's soccer team were picked to represent the Fraser Valley Soccer League in an all-star game earlier this month in Victoria. The local content included defenders Sahib Phagura and Ravi Singh; midfielders Colton O'Neill, Connor O'Neill and Robbie Fadden; and striker Justin Sekhon. The all-star game ended 2-2 after regulation, and the Fraser Valley side claimed the win via penalty kicks. The AMFU squad is the defending Pakenham Cup and SoccerCity Cup champions.

Time to start pruning your trees and shrubs Brian

Minter

Gardening flowers have finished blooming, then I prune the entire plant back to a nicely formed, attractive plant. Some of the flowering shrubs in this category are flowering quince (chaenomeles), Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas), forsythia, corylopsis, Kerria japonica, daphne, beauty bush (kolkwitzia), enkianthus, flowering currant (ribes), fothergilla, early-blooming spiraeas, lilacs and deciduous viburnums. The flowering shrubs that bloom on new wood can be pruned back at this time of year and still provide a good display of colour. When you prune these plants, however, try to prune back a lot of the

What is the faith that really matters? Bert WARDEN Contributor

What moved me to ask this question were some recent comments I read by Oswald Chambers on the verse, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Cor. 5:17. Chambers asks, “What idea do you have of the salvation of your soul? The experience of salvation means that in your actual life things are really altered, you no longer look at things as you used to.” (My Utmost for His Highest) “Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that WARDEN since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. (Romans 6:8-12) Apart from the grace of God we are all lost sinners. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” but “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (Romans 3:23; John 3:16) The faith that really matters is not that now we cannot sin but that through His Holy Spirit who has come to dwell in us we can will not to sin! All glory be to Him who died for us and rose again that we might walk in newness of life. Is that the way you and I are living? Bert Warden, a regular contributor to this column, is a former missionary and retired C&MA pastor. He is a member of Sevenoaks Alliance Church in Abbotsford.

It’s high time to be out there with pruning shears in hand, cleaning up our trees and shrubs, but we also must be a little cautious with some of our plants to make sure we don’t prune off this year’s flowers and fruits. We all have flowering shrubs that have simply grown too large too quickly and need to be pruned back to maintain their appearance and the integrity of our landscapes. If we prune some plants too vigorously now, we risk losing all the beautiful colour that we’ve been waiting to enjoy. As a rule of thumb, I like to prune out the dead and diseased wood that is so easy to spot at this time of year, as well as those long, leggy branches that have simply stretched too far. The main flowering branches I always leave until the

A few flowering shrubs bloom best on last year’s growth, so it’s important to keep enough old wood to make a great display. The beautiful Chinese witch hazels (hamamelis), which are making such a splendid display right now, are a good example of this type of plant. One of my favourite winter bloomers, Viburnum Pink Dawn, is another good example of plants that bloom best on old wood. Once you have done

the stems. With a little care, you can prune above the buds on the stems to even out the plant while still preserving the buds for a good showing this year. Both Japanese and deciduous azaleas have all their buds formed and are ready to bloom, so leave any pruning until after all the flowers have finished, at which time they can both be pruned fairly hard to maintain a compact and attractive plant.

Mophead and Lace Cap hydrangeas need special attention because their buds are already formed for next season. Some of these buds are on the tips of young branches, others are on the sides of older branches and many are down low near the base of

a little pruning and have come to know your flowering shrubs, it’s fun to both improve their shape and increase their flowering effect in your landscape. Most of these shrubs can also be sprayed now with organic lime sulphur and dormant oil to clean them up. Closer to the growing season, a good application of 10-14-21 fertilizer, or a similar formulation, will make a huge difference in their bud and flower quality.

BOYLE, Frederick Allan December 13, 1922 January 19, 2014 Fred passed away peacefully in Abbotsford Regional Hospital

the morning of January 19th with his family at his side, including his loving and supportive wife Lorraine, daughter Kim (Bernard), sons Brock (Sherry) and Duart. Fred will always be remembered as a wonderfully warm-hearted, witty man, a friend to all who knew him. Trained during WWII as a RCAF navigator, he went on to serve the community of Mission for many years as a lawyer, magistrate, coroner, and judge and was an active member of the Mission Rotary Club. Fred participated with vigour in many sports, including curling, golf, and lawn bowling, but was perhaps best known for his skill on the tennis courts. He loved the sport and played actively until well into his eighties. A private, family-only memorial event will be held in the near future. Fred donated his body to the University of British Columbia (UBC) for the purposes of anatomical study and medical research. Donations in lieu of flowers, and in Fredâ€™s name, can be made to the Salvation Army. http://www.salvationarmy. ca/tag/donations/

The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) is renewing its approval under the Integrated Pest Management Act for activities, including the use of pesticides, involved in its Nuisance Mosquito Control Program. These activities are conducted under the guidance of a Pest Management Plan (PMP), which is being developed by the FVRD for the 20142019 mosquito seasons. The majority of nuisance mosquitoes in the FVRD breed along the banks of the Fraser River and its tributaries where seasonal flooding and seepage results in substantial mosquito breeding habitat particularly in years of high river levels. Standing waters within the FVRD that are prone to seasonal flooding will be treated between May – July using bacterial larvicides with the active ingredients Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) or Bacillus sphaericus (Bsph). Both Bti (trade names Aquabac 200G, Vectobac 200G, or Vectobac 1200L) and Bsph (trade name Vectolex CG) are registered for use in Canada, are target specific to nuisance mosquito larvae, are non-toxic, and are environmentally safe.

ROSAMOND TERESA GAIL JOHNSON by her solicitor, ELYSSA LOCKHART RDM LAWYERS LLP 33695 South Fraser Way Abbotsford, BC V2S 2C1

These proposed pesticides will be applied by either hand or by helicopter to mosquito larvae development sites on nonprivate lands or on owner-approved private lands throughout the FVRD. A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the PMP, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the address below within 30 days of the publication of this notice. Also, within 30 days, a person wishing to review the application or provide comments, may do so by contacting the person below.
