Jewelry robbery suspects may be linked to scam ring 100-year-old Abby woman among the victims Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Charges have been laid against two alleged jewelry-swapping thieves who police believe might be part of a ring operating in the Lower Mainland. The pair were arrested Feb. 7 in Abbotsford after a tip from
an alert citizen. The person had seen two women tussling on a sidewalk in the area of Maclure Road and Trethewey Street, and then saw one of them get into a vehicle and drive away. The witness obtained the vehicle’s licence plate and reported it to police, who stopped the car
shortly afterwards. Meanwhile, other officers went to the scene of the incident and discovered that a 100-year-old woman had been the victim of a jewelry theft. The victim reported that she had been walking when she was approached by a woman who
held up an apparent gold necklace and asked the senior if she would like to try it on in exchange for the necklace she was wearing. The victim declined, but the suspect became more forceful, grabbed the necklace off the Continued on A4

Homeless rally planned for Monday at city hall Gathering comes after council rejects housing proposal A rally is planned for Monday at city hall, inviting community members to show solidarity with Abbotsford’s homeless. Ward Draper, a pastor with 5 and 2 Ministries and advocate for the homeless, is assisting in organiz-
ing the event. He said the rally comes after city council denied a rezoning proposal to allow Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) to build a 20men housing facility for homeless men or men at risk of homelessness. He said the event is
not organized by ACS, but by community members who supported the proposal, which was denied on a tie vote at Monday’s council meeting. He said the onehour get-together, scheduled for Monday, Feb. 24 at noon, is a free-flow-
vour of the proposal at a public hearing, the project failed. But though the ACS facility will not move forward, Draper said the city needs to do something to help its most vulnerable citizens. “These problems aren’t going away.”

MacDonald said that when police pulled over the car – which had been rented – they found several pieces of fake jewelry in the vehicle as well as the victim’s necklace. Two people were arrested on the scene and later charged with robbery: SurajIon Ghiocel, 35, and Nadia
Constantin, 36. They have each been released on $2,500 bail and are next slated to appear in Abbotsford provincial court on March 10. A 13-year-old child was also in the vehicle. MacDonald said it is believed the trio originate from Toronto. Reports of similar jewelry-swapping thefts have occurred throughout the Lower Mainland in the last year. The scam was first report-

ed in Abbotsford last April, when two incidents were reported. One involved a group of people causing a dispute in a jewelry store and distracting an employee while a woman in the group stole a ring. The second involved occupants of a vehicle approaching pedestrians, trying to convince them to buy jewelry they were selling. The following month, the travelling bandits struck
again. They pulled up in cars and approached pedestrians, asking them if they wanted to try on some jewelry. In two cases, they were able to exchange their fake jewelry for real jewelry that the elderly victims were wearing. Around the same time, the Vancouver Police Department reported they had investigated 10 incidents in which a group of jewelry thieves was targeting elderly victims.

Zoning bylaw rewrite moves forward Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
The first stage of Abbotsford’s zoning bylaw rewrite went to council on Monday, when councillors were asked to provide guidance before the proposal moves to stakeholder consultation. Urban Systems Ltd. (USL) was contracted to rewrite the bylaw, which will streamline the current bylaw, reducing staff time and simplifying the process for property owners and council. The contractors identified that the most room for improvement is in Abbotsford’s commercial zones, which will be adjusted to create a more succinct plan for commercial development. Currently, there are 22 different commercial zones in Abbotsford, some which
are similar and some which no longer meet planning best practices. The city is also encouraged to consider development of a standalone university/college zone, and modernize language to reflect new realities, such as changing “church” to “places of worship.” Council encouraged the planners to move ahead with efforts to streamline permitted uses on properties and reduce the permitted commercial density in neighbourhoods in order to encourage development in the core and commercial centres, not in residential areas. Council was asked for guidance on a current zoning bylaw which limits adult entertainment to the interior of shopping centres – effectively prohibiting such use
outright. The decision to not ban adult entertainment outright was due to the city’s legal counsel that the use must be allowed somewhere. USL representatives said that the city does have the option of banning adult entertainment outright, which council said would require more consultation with their legal counsel before they make a decision. The process will now move to consultation with stakeholders, such as the Abbotsford Airport, University of the Fraser Valley, Agricultural Advisory Committee, the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association. The bylaw will then be drafted and go to public consultation. The process is scheduled to be completed by May 2014.
Falcon Ridge proposal denied A Smarter Way to Save
Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
Council rejected a plan at Monday’s meeting to build 51 townhouse units along Falcon Ridge on Sumas Mountain. The area, on Estevan Court, had been the site of previous development plans, but none had moved forward. The current plan called for a rezoning of the area from single-family residential to allow for townhouses. The applicant indicated that the necessary retaining walls required to support single-family lots were not economically feasible, and the development would only be viable if

absorbed over multiple units. Coun. Henry Braun expressed reservations about building anything on the site, which has a significant slope. He said he would prefer to wait for a peer review of the geotechnical review to indicate whether it was safe, before allowing anything to be built. Coun. John Smith said that surrounding neighbours did not support a townhouse development, and while townhouses were probably safer than single-family homes, the site should never have been zoned for development. Council ultimately denied the rezoning proposal.

Some benefits for Abbotsford in budget Alex BUTLER Black Press
B.C.’s second straight surplus provincial budget was presented this week in Victoria by Abbotsford MLA and Finance Minister Mike de Jong. The austere budget had few spending and tax changes, as the province plans for economic growth driven by natural gas exports. Key budget points include a 32 cent increase on the provincial tobacco tax, and another four per cent increase in Medical Services Plan premiums for next year, making the total increase more than 30 per cent over the past five years. Provincial funding for K-12 education continues at 2013 levels, as the government pursues an appeal of a court decision that could add hundreds of millions to school district costs. Though a tiny piece of B.C.’s multi-billion dollar budget, a significant local contribution will be $5 million over five years to the aerospace sector. The government will make good on its election promise to work with the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada Pacific Division to attract global
aerospace and defence contractors to B.C. De Jong said the aerospace industry is already building a strong base in Abbotsford, drawing in world-leading aerospace companies. “The $5 million partnership… will position us to take advantage of the fact that in the years ahead, the single largest expansion in aerospace needs will be in the AsiaPacific region and we are incredibly wellpositioned to play a leading role in that. That’s very good news for Abbotsford.” He said in a tight budget, the funding is a signal of the importance and potential seen in the aerospace sector. De Jong said Abbotsford will benefit from other aspects of the budget, including the provinces’ continued carbon tax relief for greenhouses and nurseries – large employers in Abbotsford. The BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation, headquartered in Abbotsford, received continued funding for the program that helps kids get free B.C. fruit and vegetable and milk products. He added that Abbotsford is a community with many young families who are trying to enter the housing market. The
budget’s expansion of the property transfer tax exemption for first time home buyers “is huge for Abbotsford,” saying it will save a purchaser $7,500 dollars. When asked about potential for housing support in Abbotsford, de Jong said the city has received significant provincial assistance on a broad range of housing and supportive housing projects, including Christine Lamb Residence and Kinghaven’s George Schmidt Centre. He said that following what would have been a difficult decision by council to deny the Abbotsford Community Services’ provincially-funded supportive housing project, it is unclear whether there will still be funding available in Abbotsford for another project. “I also know that in light of that, the long list of communities that are in line seeking funding for similar projects have already stepped up and… begun to make applications for that money.” De Jong said if another project is developed, he, along with MLAs Simon Gibson and Darryl Plecas, “will do what we can, as we always do, to advocate on behalf of our community.” - with files from Tom Fletcher

OF THE WEEK Are you satisfied with the B.C. government’s ‘balanced’ budget?
Proposal shot down I can’t find the words to express my profound sadness at this result. I have great respect for Bill MacGregor and John Smith, and happily count them among my good friends, but on this issue they are simply wrong. The ACS proposal was an important start on a huge problem. The MSA site might address a further part of the homeless issue down the road, but the need for housing is immediate. The ADBA did not mount a single compelling reason for their position. John R. Sutherland

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Do you think fines for cellphone use while driving should be more than the current $167?
This project belongs at the campus of care site planned for the old hospital site... not half a block from two liquor stores and a beer parlour ... Where there is a will on the part of all parties to get a project done it can be fast tracked ... Stop all the hand wringing and finger pointing and get busy on a new plan ... I applaud the councillors who voted against allowing a change to the zoning and they shouldn’t be vilified for making the right call on behalf of surrounding property owners. Rod Marr

Who provoked a B.C. school strike? Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views I made an error in a column two weeks ago about the latest court ruling in favour of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. I referred to an “illegal” strike in 2012, and was quickly reminded that this teacher walkout was sanctioned by the Labour Relations Board (LRB). After months of withholding report cards and refusing to meet with administrators, the union went to the LRB to seek permission for a full-scale strike. They got their wish, with authorization under essential services rules for a threeday strike in the first week, and one day a week after that until the end of the school year or a settlement was reached. For the record, the last illegal BCTF strike was in 2005, in defiance of a B.C. Supreme Court order that resulted in a $500,000 fine against the union. That was the same year BCTF lawyers
won a split B.C. Court of Appeal ruling allowing teachers to bring political propaganda into classrooms. Two out of three judges decided this was appropriate to preserve their freedom of expression. The authorized three-day strike went ahead in March 2012. Regular readers may recall my reports of students being indoctrinated in classrooms and in some cases sent out as union pickets, and of the strong-arming of unionized government office staff here in Victoria to make them join a rally on the legislature lawn. This was the strike that, according to the current media and political narrative, the provincial cabinet conspired to bring about. This notion is central to the Jan. 27 ruling of Justice Susan Griffin that orders the B.C. government to attempt to reconstruct the world of 2001. Government lawyers filed an application with the B.C. Court of Appeal on Friday
to suspend parts of this ruling. Imposing Griffin’s terms would cause “irreparable harm to the public interest of unprecedented magnitude,” they said in arguments backed up by a series of affidavits from superintendents who have to keep B.C.’s war-weary public schools running. In Surrey, returning to 2002 conditions would add $40 million to the district payroll in year one. That’s one of 60 school districts. The government’s submission includes affidavits from superintendents around the province on its likely impact. Here’s a partial list: Cancellation of specialty programs for vulnerable youth, construction of portables to meet arbitrary class size restrictions, transfer of some students to other schools, closure of daycare and Strong Start preschool programs to free up space reallocated over the years, layoff of non-teaching staff, and cancellation of school participation in the international student program.
Once again this mess is before the court of appeal. Perhaps there will be better recognition of the real world this time around.
Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have begun to push back against the conspiracy theory that has taken hold, pointing out that when the BCTF finally did get permission to strike, the cabinet of the day acted to prevent it. Here’s a recap. In late February 2012, nearly 28,000 teachers (90 per cent) voted to go to the full strike allowed by the LRB. The government tabled legislation to impose a cooling-off period with provision for steep fines on the union for any further strike action, and appointed a mediator. This kept schools open, and eventually yielded a two-year deal. In April 2012, the union voted to withdraw all volunteer work by teachers. By this time they had been ordered by the LRB to prepare second-term report cards, in part so students would know if they could apply for post-secondary studies. Once again this mess is before the court of appeal. Perhaps there will be better recognition of the real world this time around. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Proposed location was the problem This whole Abbotsford secondstage housing controversy is really bothering me. I do agree we need a housing unit to support men in Abbotsford who are in need of supportive second-stage housing. However, I am extremely confused why we would put this facility in downtown Abbotsford right in the midst of businesses,
bars, traffic and possibly high-risk areas for people with addiction issues. Why not put this facility in a more pleasant location for recovery or treatment? Other second-stage facilities are spread around Abbotsford and in areas where people actually live or would like to live. How is putting people in this high-risk area meant
to benefit the people who use the facility? If we truly want people to be successful, wouldn’t we treat them like actual people and integrate them into the community more? I feel like Abbotsford was given only one option. Why not two options so we could avoid being so narrow minded. When I think of second-stage units that
Council’s decision could become election issue Abbotsford council’s decision to turn down Abbotsford Community Service’s proposal for a lowbarrier housing complex for homeless men promises to be a game-changer in this fall’s municipal election. Council has amended the C7 zoning on previous occasions (e.g. multilevel condominium on Pauline Street and the Atangard C o m m u n i t y Project Society on Essendene Avenue), and their failure to approve this project suggests a bias toward the less unfortunate in our community. When Coun. John MacGregor claims that “the community” was against the proposal, he must
have forgotten about the approximately 90 people who recently addressed council, most of whom spoke in favour of the proposal. The argument that the downtown has thrived resulting from the C-7 zoning may be true, in part, but the homeless have been in that area throughout that period, and continue to choose that area as their home. Perhaps the revitalization of the downtown has occurred despite their presence, rather than detracted from it. Someone once said, “The poor you will always have with you,” and this community should understand that better than most, and seek to ameliorate their
JAPAN E S E
It was indeed a dark night for the homeless and the community Monday when council defeated the re-zoning request for the housing project. This seemed to go against all reason and made on the basis of misinformation and fear. It was also counter to the view of what Abbotsford wishes to be, a city of character. At the meeting, the mayor and council committed themselves to place homelessness as a major agenda item for action. It is now incumbent upon council, the business community, the social agencies and the community to honour this commitment. The homeless deserve no less. The community deserves no less.

ABBOTSFORD’S 7TH ANNUAL PREMIER RUNNING EVENT
A female driver whose drunk boyfriend caused her vehicle to crash in Abbotsford in 2006 will not receive any money from ICBC, a B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled. Justice Anthony Saunders made the decision Feb. 3 in Chilliwack, denying Marnetta Felix of about $863,000 in damages and costs. Felix suffered significant injuries in the crash on July 8, 2006 which occurred on Highway 1 near Peardonville Road in Abbotsford. Her boyfriend, Kevin Hearne, was killed. According to court documents, Felix, then 44, and Hearne had been at a soccer tournament in Langley, where Hearne drank some beer. He became agitated when he saw Felix with her arm around another man, and she decided they should leave. They got into Felix’s car – Hearne in the passenger’s seat – and began arguing. Hearne twice briefly grabbed the steering wheel, which did not affect the movement of the car. They merged onto Highway 1, en route home to Chilliwack, when Hearne again grabbed the steering wheel, but this time did not let go. The car veered off the road. Felix’s next memory was of seeing people look down at her, and of Hearne lying
unresponsive beside her, according to the court documents. Felix filed a claim against Hearne’s estate and was awarded $792,000, plus costs of about $71,000 in September 2011. Next, because Hearne’s estate did not have that money, Felix sought to recover those funds from ICBC, through third-party liability insurance, saying Hearne was liable because he committed a negligent act while using a vehicle. Her lawyer further argued that refusing to extend liability coverage to an impaired passenger “would potentially leave an injured designated driver without any means of obtaining compensation.� ICBC’s position was that Hearne was not “operating� the vehicle as defined under the Insurance (Motor Vehicle) Act and could not be held liable. Saunders sided with ICBC on that aspect, saying he had to “unfortunately� come to that conclusion based on his analysis of the law. Although Hearne’s actions interfered with the operation of the vehicle, it “was not operation in itself,� Saunders stated. He said the law covers only situations where a passenger injures or kills someone outside of a vehicle – for example, when a passenger opens a door and interferes with a passing cyclist.

District’s newest youth service club starts off strong at Abbotsford Traditional Secondary Alina KONEVSKI Abbotsford News
Two siblings are off to a running start with a service club they founded at Abbotsford Traditional Secondary. In just the first year, the school’s first Key Club – under incorporation with Kiwanis International – has already organized a food drive, fundraised for B.C. Children’s Hospital, and collected jeans for homeless
youth. During the holiday season, the club had students write motivational messages on cards and hang them up on a Christmas tree. Now, Grade 12 students Sahil and Ekanki Chawla are organizing a major bullying awareness event at the school. “We always talk about how bullying is a big issue in our schools,” said Sahil. “We wanted to make
a difference.” The anti-bullying event will have local community organizations set up info booths. There will be free food, as well as activities to keep young children occupied while parents browse the info tables. “This is an event for the entire family, in hopes of raising awareness of how we can all work together to take a step in preventing bul-
lying from occurring,” said Sahil. “My goal is to showcase the organizations and services available in our community, so that our youth are aware of the various supports available to them.” The bullying awareness event is open to the community. It will be on Feb. 22 at Abbotsford Traditional Secondary School (2272 Windsor St.) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Readings at The Reach highlights Mennonite maids A reading at The Reach will feature stories of the many Mennonite women from across the Fraser Valley who served as maids in Vancouver in the 1930s to the 1960s. Ruth Derksen Siemens, a first-generation Canadian of Russian Mennonite descent, will present a pictorial story from her book Daughters in the City: Mennonite Maids in Vancouver 1931-61, at a conversation and tea event on Saturday, March 1 at 2 p.m. at The Reach. She will relay how in the early 1930s, young Mennonite women – mostly adolescents – began to arrive in Vancouver, seeking work as domestic servants. Most had recently arrived as refugees from Russia, having escaped the terror of Stalin’s regime. These young single women were pioneers of their community: they broke through the barriers of the city, the English language and the upperclass British culture, shaping the settlement patterns of not only Vancouver but also western Canada.

Schellenberg fund to benefit Kwantlen students Abbotsford’s Ed Schellenberg was simply a tradesman trapped at the wrong place at the wrong time when he was murdered inside a Whalley condominium in 2007. But a $20,000 endowment in his name ensures the legacy of the Surrey Six victim, one of two innocent bystanders caught in a gang-related attack, will continue on for students studying trades at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU). On Feb. 7, organizers behind five golf tournaments honouring the man presented a cheque for the donation at KPU’s Cloverdale campus, which serves as the home base for students studying trades. S ch e l l e n b e rg ’s widow, Lois, was on hand for the ceremony. “He was a good guy and what happened shouldn’t have hap-
pened,” she said. “This doesn’t take it away but this gives an opportunity ... for other people to make some good life choices, and get some education, get a career and hope-
fully not revert to ‘easy money.’” A $1,000 endowment will be awarded to an eligible student as he or she winds up their studies and needs to invest in tools or cover
their schooling costs. “The money will soon be spent on tuition and those other sorts of things, but they’ll have that on their CV or resume,” said KPU chief advancement of-
ficer Jeff Norris, who accepted the cheque from tournament organizers Brian White and Kevin Ford. “You (will) certainly see that pop up for students 20 or 30 years
down the road, where they can say they were the winner of the Ed Schellenberg Award.” At the ceremony, appliance service technology instructor Tom Westgate told Lois
there are students who travel on as many as four buses a day just to make it to class and keep up with their studies. “This will really be a blessing to them.”

ABBOTSFORD
Dean Brody This Canadian ‘Mountain man’ brings his show to Abbotsford tomorrow night.
Chart-topping country star Dean Brody is coming to the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre Feb. 22 for his Crop Circles and Tractor Beams tour. With Maple Ridge native Madeline Merlo as the opening act, Brody anticipates the show will be “a lot of fun.” As a seven-time Canadian Country Music Association Award winner, including back-to-back Album of the Year wins (Trail In Life and DIRT) and two-time Juno award nominee, Brody has made appearances on George Stromboulopolous Tonight, Global’s Entertainment Tonight Canada, CTV’s eTalk and City TV’s The Bachelor
Canada, among others. Although he has gained widespread acclaim for his singing and songwriting, he remains the most proud of his band and says “they’re amazing musicians and I count them as some of my closest friends.” Brody has sold more than 250,000 singles and 75,000 albums in Canada. His fourth album, “Crop Circles” was released in November and debuted at number one on the iTunes Canada Country Album Chart and number three on the Canadian Country Album Chart. Brody reveals the reason behind the extraterrestrial-inspired album title is because he wanted to have fun experimenting with the imagery it provokes.
He creates his music with the same intention, to conjure thought and feeling. “Music is one of the best ways to communicate stories,” says Brody. “Often when I write a song I imagine a story and then try to make it come to life through music.” From a small-town boy growing up in Jaffray, B.C., where he played guitar in his spare time, to performing across the country, Brody admits that the best part about touring is when he hears his fans sing his songs back to him. “And then there are the buses,” says Brody. “We have a lot of fun on tour, I feel like I’m in college again – the buses are rolling dormitories.” In order to prepare for the intense travel schedule, Brody sticks to a simple regiment. “I stop eating things
that make my belly stick out,” he says. “Getting in shape is important because the schedule is quite frantic and it’s easy to feel run down very quickly.” With a successful career traveling from one Canadian town to the next and performing in front of hoards of fans, Brody is no stranger to the stage. He plans to bring the full country experience to Abbotsford and push the limits with his upcoming show. “From the animated alien who delivers me to the stage, to the antler/duck call solo in Mountain Man, we tried to make it different than anything out there and we had a lot of fun doing it.” To purchase tickets to Dean Brody’s Crop Circles & Tractor Beams Tour on Feb. 22, visit abbotsfordcentre.ca.

myhealth & beauty
Brighter Smile A bright white and healthy smile goes a long way toward helping you your best. If your teeth aren’t as white as they once were, you may be considering a whitening treatment. Many foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, colas, dark berries, and even chocolate, can stain the teeth over time. Certain medications also may contribute to changing the surface colour of your teeth. While there are many whitening systems available at drug stores, there are benefits to opting for a professional whitening treatment performed by a licensed dentist. For example, such a procedure is more controlled, allowing the dentist and his staff to control the strength and the placement of the whitening product. In addition, the dentist can help control discomfort for men and women with sensitive teeth. “Office whitening is always stronger than the at-home kits,” says Dr. Jay Gohel, an oral health professional and expert in extreme smile makeovers. In addition, an in-office whitening treatment may be condensed and take less time. All treatments are different, but generally the whitening procedure involves taking pictures of
your teeth before treatment to show the “before” and “after” results. Your dentist may prescribe a special fluoride toothpaste to be used prior to the whitening procedure to reduce sensitivity. A bleaching solution is activated by a special light to promote the whitening process. The whitening sessions will be broken up into a few different visits, for a total of one hour. It is important to note that the whitening process works best on natural teeth. Crowns and bridges do not whiten the same as natural teeth because they are covered. Men and women with crowns or bridges can speak to their dentists about other options. If whitening isn’t for you at the moment, there are other options. At the very least, a professional dental cleaning can be the start to a beautiful smile. “Tooth appearance can be vastly improved with a professional cleaning,” offers Dr. Gohel. “The superficial stains can be removed, as well as plaque and tartar.” A dentist can work with you to tailor a treatment to ensure your smile attracts attention for all the right reasons.
VACATION PRE-TAN EXPERTS:
A sunny vacation is a big investment so avoid ruining your trip with a potentially harmful burn. Tan moderately before you go and be Sun Smart at the beach.

Massey, by Chef Jeff 62 restaurant
Farmer Sausage and White Bean Soup They say that February is the hardest month. The shortest month of the year can seem to go on forever with grey skies and sideways rain. Cellared vegetables and apples are running low and fresh, local food is tough to come by. March sounds like spring, but February is decidedly winter. There is nothing to do on these dark days but settle in with a hot bowl of soup and some fresh bread. A great winter soup uses farmer sausage and white beans to warm us inside. The Fraser Valley has an exceptional selection of locally made sausage. My favourites come from Rempel and Sons Meat Co. Ltd., Lepp Farm Market and a duck farmer sausage from Fraser Valley Duck and Goose. This recipe is always a hit in the restaurant in the winter months.

Pilots fend off Flames, take 2-0 lead in playoff series Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
of the Fraser Valley
Heading into the Abbotsford Pilots’ first-round playoff series vs. the Ridge Meadows Flames, head coach Jim Cowden insisted it wouldn’t be a cakewalk for his squad. The Pacific Junior Hockey League standings suggested otherwise, as the Pilots (27-12-5, 59 points) had finished far ahead of the Flames (17-22-5, 39 points). But Tuesday’s series opener was in line with Cowden’s prophecy, as Ridge Meadows pushed the local junior B squad to the limit at MSA Arena. The Pilots needed a goal from Austin Edwards late in the third period to force overtime, and they salvaged a 4-3 victory on Kolten Grieve’s goal at 6:47 of the extra frame. Wednesday’s Game 2 at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge was more indicative of the Pilots’ status as favourites – they rolled to a 6-2 win behind four-point nights from Braeden Monk (two goals, two assists) and Grieve (four assists), and singles from Brady Lawlor, Jared Virtanen, Joel Atkinson and Brad Parker.
JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News
Abbotsford Pilots defenceman Joel Balzer and goalie William Latimer took a hands-on approach to an intruder in the crease during the first game of their playoff series vs. the Ridge Meadows Flames. “I just thought we capitalized a little bit on our chances, and we were more disciplined,� Cowden said. The Pilots will look to complete a sweep of the best-ofseven set on Friday (7:30 p.m., MSA Arena) and Saturday (7:45 p.m., Planet Ice). Game 5, if nec-
essary, would be Tuesday (7 p.m., MSA Arena). “It’s still going to be a tough series,� Cowden asserted. “The shots are fairly equal, and they’ve had some great scoring chances. They work hard. You’ve got to win four games, and we’re only halfway there.�

They aren’t getting older – they’re getting better. Well, actually they are getting older too but they can still acquit themselves with considerable aplomb on the curling ice. Two Abbotsford teams were victorious in the recent Masters zone playdowns Jim held in Langley. Anderson Milt Sinclair’s rink of Jim Hambly, Doug Carvey, and another old guy were successful in the youthful (60 years plus) category, while the ageless legend Bernie Sparkes won the . . . we’ll just call it the more experienced category. Sparkes’s team consisted of Jack Finnbogason, Kiyo Hamade and Bob Byrne, and edged another Abbotsford team skipped by John Munro in the final. Sparkes and Sinclair will lead their senile sliders in the Pacific Coast/Interior Provincial Championships to be held in Salmon Arm Feb. 25-28. Sparkes also qualified for the Curl BC Masters Provincials to be held in Creston March 5-9 so there is really no point in coming home. He can just carry on his lifetime curling odyssey which has included 12 provincial championships. Good on ya, Bernie!

Twisters gymnasts excel at Elite Canada meet Q Athletes from Abbotsford’s Twisters Gymnastics showed well at the Elite Canada meet in Gatineau, Que., registering seven podium finishes. Robert Watson, Ken Ikeda and Zachary Clay led the charge in the senior men’s competitions. Watson notched a bronze in the all-around and added third-place finishes in the floor and parallel bars, while former Olympian Ikeda won gold in his specialty, the pommel horse. Clay took gold on the parallel bars. Additionally, novice athletes Dawson Friesen and Cohen Kiers took bronze on the vault and parallel bars, respectively.

The fourth-year player has helped the T-Birds win the CIS national championship in each of her previous three seasons, and topranked UBC is on track for another – they host the Canada West Final Four this weekend. Q The Grade 8 basketball teams from W.A. Fraser Middle School swept to victory in the Abby-Mission league finals last Saturday. The Falcons girls edged the MEI Eagles in an overtime epic – “One of the craziest games I’ve seen in a while,” said head coach Chris Harvey – by a score of 35-32. The Fraser boys, meanwhile, beat the Eugene Reimer Ravens 42-38 in a game that also came down to the final minute.
Q Rosie Schlagintweit of Abbotsford has been named a Canada West women’s volleyball first team all-star. Schlagintweit, a sixfoot outside hitter from Yale Secondary,

This season, the crew of Tobyn Smith, Tavleen Grewal, Hannah Weinkauf, Ryan Han and James Lee combined for three medals and 10 finals.

A total of 2,131 individuals and organizations have signed up to participate in National Energy Board hearings later this year into Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinning of its Trans Mountain oil pipeline. The deadline to apply expired last week. B.C. municipalities seeking either intervenor or commenter status include Victoria, Vancouver, Burnaby, North Vancouver (city and district), West Vancouver, Belcarra, Port Moody, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Richmond, White Rock, Surrey, Langley Township, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Merritt and Kamloops. The Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Capital and Fraser-Fort George regional districts also registered, as did the Vancouver Parks Board, Port Metro Vancouver and organizations from the Vancouver Board of Trade to various environmental groups. The $5.4-billion expansion would nearly triple the existing 60-year-old pipeline’s capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day.
If approved, 400 oil tankers a year would sail through Vancouver harbour, up from about 60 now. Hundreds of additional oil tankers already carry Alaskan crude oil to refineries in Washington State. Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode said Surrey wants in on the hearings out of concern for sensitive environmental habitat along the potential pipeline route through north Surrey, as well as any disruption to neighbourhoods and broader regional concerns, such as the risks of increased oil tanker shipments. Asked if Surrey city council is at odds with the Surrey Board of Trade, which supports the new pipeline, Rasode said no. “The board of trade is very specific in their role within the city around the economic development portfolio for business,” she said. “We are tasked with a much broader responsibility around sustainability.” Numerous aboriginal groups have also applied, including the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations and three more Coast Salish bands in Washington State that say their fisheries and harvesting areas would be threatened by a potential oil spill in the Salish Sea.

Cross-border shopping takes hit as loonie falls: Poll Jeff Nagel Black Press
A new poll shows cross-border shoppers still nip across the line for deals but they’re doing it less often because of the slide in the
value of the loonie. The online survey by Insights West found 61 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents drove across the border at least once in the past 12 months, down from 74 per cent reported in
a similar poll a year ago. Insights West president Steve Mossop said the findings also show the 10-cent slide in the Canadian dollar against the U.S. greenback – from US $1.01 a year ago to about 91 cents
– is starting to have some impact. The poll found 37 per cent of respondents expect they will drive to the U.S. less often due to the less favourable exchange rate, while 60 per cent said their
cross-border shopping patterns won’t change. “The shine has worn off a little bit because of the dollar’s impact,” Mossop said, adding Lower Mainland residents are very aware of the exchange rate and
its impact. “The majority of people in Metro Vancouver are still taking trips across the border. It’s still a massive number.” The B.C. Business Council has previously estimated about $1.3

billion a year is being drained from the Lower Mainland’s retail economy by short-term crossborder spending. Mossop thinks that outflow may be reduced by 15 to 20 per cent if the dollar holds at its current level. The poll didn’t try to gauge what currency exchange rate would prompt a halt to most cross-border shopping, but Mossop said some economists have speculated the loonie would have to fall to 85 or 83 cents against the U.S. dollar. Twenty per cent of those polled said they’ve crossed the border less often in the past year, 12 per cent said more often and 68 per cent said it’s about the same. That’s a shift from a year ago, when more respondents reported crossing more often. The purchases topping the shopping lists of those headed south continue to be gas (89 per cent fuel up there), dining out (82 per cent), clothing/shoes/accessories (78 per cent), groceries (73 per cent), followed by accommodation, entertainment, electronics/computers, casino gambling and furniture. Twenty four per cent of cross-border shoppers also have a U.S. mailbox across the line to pick up purchases they buy online. Cheaper flights also continue to draw B.C. residents south. A quarter of Metro Vancouver residents polled crossed the border at least once in the last two years to fly out of a U.S. airport. Lower U.S. prices compared to at home – whether it’s for retail goods or airline flights – remains the key reason for cross-border shopping, according to a large majority of those surveyed, while better product selection or availability is secondary. “There is a slight feeling of guilt,” Mossop said. “Seventy per cent say they’re aware it’s hurting the local economy. But it’s not stopping them.” The federal government committed in its latest budget to new action to punish retailers who charge unjustifiably high prices compared to the U.S., but there are few details yet of how that will work. The survey of 810 Lower Mainland adults was conducted Feb. 4-5. For more poll detail see insightswest.com.

What would make Abbotsford a better place to work, live, and play? That’s the question the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and its partners are bringing to the community in the next few months. The chamber is launching a project called Abbotsford 2020 on March 1. The community visioning exercise encourages residents to contribute their thoughts on how Abbotsford should look in the year 2020. The result will be a report that will serve as an anchor for discussion and action during the Nov. 15 municipal elections and the review of the Official Community Plan. “What we’re trying to do with this is bring our community together to figure out what the vision is for Abbotsford by the year 2020,” said chamber president Mike Welte. Welte thinks that the Abbotsford chamber might be the first to launch such a project in western Canada. The local group borrowed the idea from the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, whose Manitoba Bold project became
Mike Welte, President of the Abbotsford Chamber.
widely adopted and the final report was used by the community to hold politicians to account. “What we learned from that project (in Winnipeg) is that there are a lot of people in the community who want to have their
voice heard but don’t necessarily have the forum to do it,” said Welte. “Through projects like this, a lot of community leaders emerge that don’t often have their voice heard. We’re quite excited to bring together a diverse
group in Abbotsford to figure out what the vision would look like for our communities.” The chamber has joined forces with a broad range of stakeholder groups to include as many people as possible into the discus-
sion. Partners include Abbotsford Community Foundation, University of the Fraser Valley, School District No. 34, Fraser Valley Indo-Canadian Business Association, and the Abbotsford News. Residents can participate
in the project in two ways. The first is to visit the official website, www.abbotsford2020.com, which will launch shortly. The site will feature a questionnaire that residents can submit online or print and submit a hard copy to the chamber. The other option is to attend one of the forums. Many of the participating agencies will host their own gatherings, with dates to be announced in the coming months. The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce will host one for members on March 20. The ideas will be compiled into a final report by September 2014. The cost of Abbotsford 2020 is expected to be minimal, and the chamber is providing all funding. Welte encourages residents to start thinking about their ideas to make Abbotsford the best place to live, work, and play. “For a grassroots project like this to be successful, we need to hear your voice and see your participation in the Abbotsford 2020 project,” said Welte. “The simple question is, ‘What’s your bold idea for Abbotsford?’”

John MacDonald
February 17, 2014, marked the beginning of Chamber of Commerce Week, an opportunity for Chambers of Commerce across British Columbia to showcase their hard work on behalf of business communities across the province. This year, Chambers are celebrating the theme of “Leadership in Action” – a theme which highlights the leadership Chambers bring to their business communities, working hard to enhance B.C. as a business-friendly jurisdiction with strong opportunities for all British Columbians. And this leadership delivers results. Just this month, the Abbotsford Chamber and B.C.’s Chamber network, working in partnership with the B.C. govern-
Mike Welte, President of the Abbotsford Chamber and Naomi Yamamoto, Minister of State for Small Business.
ment, was able to deliver a significant win for B.C.’s businesses: key, business-friendly changes to a recycling regulation that had caused concern in business communities across B.C.
Thanks to the hard work of Chambers in B.C., working closely with a responsive government, more than 99% of B.C.’s businesses will face no red tape or fees under this recycling regulation, which deals with packaging and printed paper. And that’s just one of many positive changes that the Chamber network has led for B.C. businesses. Among many areas of impact, B.C.’s Chambers have been a key voice: • encouraging balanced budgets at all levels of government; • calling for solutions to B.C.’s skills gap; and • encouraging municipalities to actively support local economic development.

As members of the BC Chamber of Commerce, Chambers throughout the province are part of B.C.’s most extensive business policy development process. This process brings B.C. businesses’ innovative ideas and on-the-ground insights to B.C.’s decision makers, and helps shape an ever more business-friendly province. Chamber network policies span from fiscal and tax policy to infrastructure to industry-specific issues. Here in Abbotsford, your Chamber has brought together business and community leaders to move forward in a number of initiatives that are having a direct impact on business in
the community: • Inter-municipal Business License pilot project - which allows local contractors to work from Surrey to Hope without the additional burden of obtaining a separate license in each jurisdiction; • Micro Business Training Program – this Canada/BC Labour Market Agreement program allowed micro-business owners to apply for up to $1,500 for general business training in a variety of areas. Eighteen local businesses received financial support making the Abbotsford Chamber one of the top 5 contributors to this program’s success; • Mayor’s Task Force on Economic Prosperity – this community ven-
ture brought representation from a variety of local business and development interests including the Abbotsford Chamber and the City’s Economic Development Advisory Committee together with the Mayor, members of City Council and City staff. The findings of the Task Force were presented to Council in the Economic Development Action Plan and are currently being worked on by the City. So as B.C. celebrates Chamber Week, don’t miss the opportunity to swing by the Abbotsford Chamber and celebrate the leadership, energy and can-do attitude that B.C.’s Chambers bring to our communities.

The Corolla is sold in several different trim levels, starting at $15,995 to get the base CE, but the reality is that most Canadians will upgrade to the $19,215 S (Sport) or the LE for $19,500. To upgrade to this $20,500 LE Eco model is $1,035 over the S model and $750 over the regular LE. I prefer the S trim for its more aggressive 17-inch wheels compared to the LE and LE Eco, which come with smaller 16-inch wheels. Regardless, this model is a massive step forward in terms of delivering an

The Eco gets a 140hp version that comes with Toyota’s Valevematic technology that helps to pump out the extra 8hp, yet improves fuel economy. The base CE is sold with either a 6-speed manual or the 4-speed automatic found in the last model. The only other model to be offered with a manual is the S trim.

so here are five more cars that are a little easier on the wallet in purchase and operation. Disclaimer, you don’t have to be single and willing to mingle to fall in love with these vehicles. In fact, some of them are family friendly. No really, they are. Ford Focus ST- $29,999 Hot hatch? I think so. Ford’s Focus ST (ST meaning Sports Technologies) is quite the exciting ride. As soon as you sit inside the Ford Focus ST cabin, you’re embraced by Recaro sport seats that hug you and don’t let go. There’s a six-speed manual gearbox that’s then connected to a 2.0L High-Output EcoBoost I-4 engine. The high-output engine puts out 252 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. Yes, that’s a herd of horses under the hood, but driving this sport-tuned version of ST is actually quite agreeable in the city. Chevrolet Sonic RS $23,995 The Sonic RS Hatchback might not be the first choice of “performance” vehicle on your list, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be added. This fivedoor has Scion FR-S some cool features like: a unique RS liftgate-mounted rear spoiler, 17-inch Midnight Silver painted-aluminum wheels, Lane Departure Warning, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with contrasting stitching and flat-bottom design, and leather-appointed seating surfaces with ‘sueded’ microfibre inserts.
Tires for All
That’s on top of seating for five and a powerplant comprised of a 1.4L, turbocharged 4-cylinder with 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. Fiat 500 Abarth $20,995 Anytime you see a scorpion on something – or in real life – you can count on there being some sort of sting. The Fiat 500 Abarth is no different, except this sting makes you smile. This pint-sized two-door might look somewhat cutesy, but the terrestrial arachnid badging denotes otherwise. Turn the ignition on and the rumble of the dual exhaust comes to life. It’s anything but tame in tone. Put the five-speed, heavy duty manual transmission into gear and hopefully you’ll be able to make good use of the 160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. That’s the kind of power being generated from its 1.4L, MultiAir turbocharged engine. Along with a performance tuned-suspension, perfor-
mance brakes and 16-inch wheels, this Fiat might be small, but makes up any “size matters” issues with its dynamic performance. Honda Civic SI (Coupe/Sedan) $26,245/$26,250 Take the exceptional reliability of Honda, its popular-selling Civic coupe/sedan, lace
it with a potent engine and some cool gadgetry and you have the SI trim. Up until only a few years ago, the Civic SI was only offered in coupe format, but that changed in 2007. Those who wanted performance and practicality would be granted access to such pleasures of life. Setting it apart from its tamer siblings is a 2.4-litre engine producing 201 horsepower and 170 lb.-ft of torque. It also comes standard with 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels and a rear spoiler. Not to mention a 6-speed manual transmission. Whether opting for two or four doors, you can’t go wrong. Scion FR-S - $26,450 The return of the fun-todrive rear-wheel drive sports coupe that’s priced under $30K can be linked to the Scion FR-S. You could also say it is linked with the Subaru BRZ as these four-seater, two-door vehicles were a joint venture product between the two brands. The FR-S features a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder boxer engine, developed in collaboration with Subaru. It combines Subaru’s horizontally opposed engine and Toyota’s D-4S injection system. The result is 200 naturally aspirated horses and 151 lb-ft of torque and can be matched with either a sixspeed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The back seats might not be incredibly comfortable for rear passengers but all the festivities are happening up front anyway. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Driving topless in the Valley of Fire By Keith Morgan
I took the all-new BMW 4 Series Cabriolet on one of those leisurely and slow drives, typical of a Sunday through Nevada’s stunningly beautiful Valley of Fire National Park. Problem was that it was a Tuesday and the only other car on the road seemed to be the somewhat inappropriately named pace car ahead that kept our speed to a fraction below the posted 30 mph speed limit (which is 48.280 km/h to be precise). Apparently, the overzealous state troopers, you know the guys with the mirrored sunglasses, had warned the Bavarian hosts that they would hold them responsible for any outrageous road behaviour, hence the so called pace cars ahead of each group of pearl white 435i cabriolets. This topless edition joins its coupe sibling in the new 4 series classification which is really a new name for 3 Series two-door models. Just like the 2 Series coupes are actually two-door 1 Series models. Oh, never mind. Anyway, this is a tourer for those with the cash rather than the sports-minded - $67,400 for the test car – so perhaps the afternoon stroll was more appropriate than a blast on the nearby freeway. (A base 428i version starts at $56,600, and comes with a 2.0-litre, 241 hp, turbocharged four-cylinder engine.) If you are looking for feedback

through the steering, you are not going to get much but there is no argument that it offers a smooth ride and cornering is effortless at 32 mph – devils aren’t we? Once out of the park, the Smokey bears joined the press pack as impromptu pace cars! – One ahead of us pulled off at a donut shop as we hit the highway. Here was our chance to open up. A bit. The 300-hp turbo inline-six swiftly moved through the eight-speed auto tranny to 100 klicks in a smidgen under six seconds then I chickened out. (Six-speed manual transmissions will be available in
Canada, which should increase sportiness in performance.) Rumours circulated at the evening dinner that a member of the Russian press corps had secured a $1,000 fine on that same stretch of road at about the time my co-driver and I had taken turns to punch the pedal and play briefly with steering-wheel mounted paddle gear changers. Oh, and that’s when we were able to test the true effectiveness of the rear air diffuser (thumbs up) though when it is in place it rules out back seat passengers (thumbs down). And the rush of cooler desert air
prompted us to flick the switch on the neck warmers. Ah yes, a mark of true luxury. Truth is this car is more about looks. How it looks and how you look in it. And it looks absolutely fabulous, darling, now that you ask. Can’t speak for myself. It is simple, elegant in profile but a scowling front gives it beastly pretensions. The power hard top rises smoothly from its hiding place in the trunk in 20 seconds. We were told it could even be raised in speeds up to 18 km/h. Why would you want to? When that top is in place it truly looks like a coupe. Cool, but even cooler when you lower the windows and see it as a pillar-less coupe! When the top is up it offers 370 litres of trunk space (222 litres when topless), which makes it the roomiest in its segment. BMW says it will comfortably stash two sets of golf clubs, if you are that way afflicted. Classy leather interior, with ergonomically correct front seats. Can’t say the same about the back seats but then who wants to share the open top experience with anybody other than one’s beloved? Controls are handy though the rotary control was a bit too close to the front seat passenger for my liking. No fuel consumption estimates are available yet. There will be an X Drive version later this year.

The folks over at GM felt it was time to raise the bar and with this latest incarnation of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado. And indeed it took a major step forward by anybody’s estimation. Competition is fierce in the ½-ton pickup market and with heavy concentration on fuel consumption; it’s tough to find a balance between fuel economy and a strong capable truck. But the Silverado designers achieved that balance and were recognized very publicly for that achievement. The awards presentation at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit saw GM haul away top honors for the Corvette Stingray and Silverado pickup, which were named North American Car and Truck of the year. You can’t just beef up a suspension and still expect a smooth ride. Chev did: the Silverado utilizes finely tuned shock absorbers that respond to small vibrations and tackle the big bounces with ease. I admit I had my doubts. Driving the Silverado over a pothole-laden road did change the dynamics of this truck on how it handled but the shocks adjusted themselves perfectly. The frame mounts at the back of the cab are hydraulic and this helps to control any vibration. The rear axle size has been increased to handle the larger torque output from the engine. Speaking of engines the Silverado offers three engine choices. The first is a 4.3L V6 with a 285 horsepower and 305 foot
Chevrolet Silverado
pounds of torque. An all-aluminum 5.3L V8 with 355 horsepower and a 6.2L EcoTec V8 that produces 420 horsepower and 450 foot pounds of torque. This engine also has active noise cancellation, very similar to good quality headphones! The transmission is a six-speed electronically controlled automatic with two overdrive gears. It has an estimated combined fuel economy of 13/8.7 L/100 km. Although my real world numbers were not that close, the transmission undoubtedly helped push a tank of gas a little farther than I expected. Properly equipped, this Silverado can tow up to 5216 kg (11,500 lb) which is impressive for a ½ ton pickup. The redesigned interior offers more leg room and is easily accessed through the larger doors. Stain resistant cloth seats or optional leather seats are very comfortable. The glove box is a twopiece design and the centre console has plenty of room for files and junk to go missing for years! The steering wheel controls and other
knobs on the dash are within reachable distance from the driver and large enough that they can be used while wearing work gloves. My tester was equipped with Mylink system that basically controls everything. The voice recognition is easy to use and can respond to normal speech patterns. Bluetooth capabilities allow easy pairing of any smart phone with very little effort and accessing your music is a breeze. The rear bumper has steps built into it on both corners of the truck, making the job of climbing in the back an easy task. The tailgate features EZ-lift hardware that makes lowering the tailgate a one handed job. An available LED light mounted under the box rails lights up the cargo area and makes every nook and cranny visible. Many innovative improvements were made to this truck to keep up with the consumer demands and the result will help spur Canadian sales. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Five classics you’d never guess are so valuable they invited horrific abuse, which explains the dearth of clean examples. A nicely restored one sold at an auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., last January for $88,000. Some are said to have sold for $100,000-plus. In response to FJ40s getting so expensive, first-generation 4Runners are starting to increase in value. Don’t say you weren’t told! 4. Ford Bronco: The humVolkswagen Microbus

It’s no shock that the gorgeous 507 roadster sells for a ton of money, but the fact that Isettas can pull more than $40,000 is surprising indeed.

We never need a special day to bring you to our mind. For days without a thought of you are very hard to find. I’ll treasure forever the love we shared, the things you did, the way you cared. Someone to turn to, so kind and true. One in a million, Tom I’ll never forget you.
Dearest Trev, To our tall, lanky boy with the most gorgeous brown eyes that twinkled with mirth and joy, whose laughter filled every space and whose smile melted our hearts.... Life will never be the same without you. Beautiful memories remain locked deep within our hearts and tears will always flow. In life you were so vibrant, full of fun and joy. Now we face this HUGE SILENT HOLE. We desperately miss our very precious boy. But we will be with you again someday, when heaven calls our names. Until then, a passionate desire to honor you and embrace life as you would want us to, motivates us daily.

Margot Lucie Wawra
November 6, 1923 - February 11, 2014 Margot Wawra passed away peacefully on the 11th of February. Margot lived a full life that took her through the Depression, wartime and deprivation. After the war she studied creative writing and journalism in Germany and married Frank (Helmut) in 1955 in Velbert, Germany. They soon immigrated to Canada to start a new life together in Saskatchewan. Margot was a very versatile person who was involved in teaching, radio broadcasting, real estate, journalism and art. In the early 1980s they moved to Abbotsford British Columbia to be closer to family. During this time, Margot enjoyed new found friends and activities, including Tai Chi, choir, art and service with the Abbotsford Hospice Society. Margot received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Saskatchewan, was certified with the Saskatchewan Department of Education and attained her Masters of Fine Arts at the University of California. Margot’s art career blossomed and her conceptual art encompassed wood carvings, metal and plexiglas sculptures, acrylic, oil and water colour paintings. She has been acquired by the Saskatchewan Arts Board, Mendel Art Gallery and the University of Saskatchewan and is featured in several books and important listings of Canadian artists. She remains a significant example and influence for Canadian female artists.
