Measles alert issued at UFV Potential exposure to the disease through family members Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
The number of measles cases continues to grow in Fraser East, and more alerts have been issued, including to students living on campus at University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, Fraser Health Authority (FHA) announced on Wednesday. Dr. Lisa Mu, an FHA medical health officer, said a letter was sent out Monday at UFV administrators’ request because “a number” of students are from families in Chilliwack and Agassiz who have been exposed to the disease. Mu said Fraser Health is currently
investigating one suspected case at UFV, but, as of Thursday morning, there have been no confirmed cases of the measles in Abbotsford or Mission. Dr. Paul Van Buynder, chief medical health officer, said in a press release that a measles alert was also sent to staff who worked at the Chilliwack Lions Club Music and Dance Festival, which ran from Feb. 4 to March 12. He said measles cases continue to occur in Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Hope and Agassiz. He said there are currently about 80 to 100 cases covering Fraser East. “The most recent cases occurred
in a public school student and a worker in a community retail outlet, thus exposing large numbers of the public during their infectious period,” Van Buynder said. “We are disappointed that people who are showing symptoms of measles are not isolating themselves as requested by Fraser Health and, as a result, other people in the community are being exposed to this infectious disease.” He said that people who have been asked to isolate themselves should do so until after the possible infectious period – 21 days after exposure. The outbreak began during the
first week of March at Mount Cheam Christian School in Chilliwack. The school is led by the Reformed Congregation of North America, which is opposed to vaccination. On March 13, Fraser Health reported that the illness had spread to the general communities, and one child had been admitted to hospital. Anyone with two doses of measles-containing vaccine does not require further immunization. Those with just one does are encouraged to obtain a booster dose as soon as possible. Others can obtain the measles vaccine through their doctor or pharmacy.

Homelessness task force struck Alex BUTLER
sure they capture all perspectives and all voices. “They will be the forum through which the community discusses the issue of homelessness in the City of Abbotsford.” The task force will include Jim Burkinshaw, volunteer coordinator for the Abbotsford Christian Leadership Network; Dr. Ron van Wyk, associate executive director at the Mennonite Central Committee British Columbia; Mike Welte, president of the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce; Dave Murray, director of the Abbotsford Food Bank; Abbotsford Police

Patient Testimonial
Ten years ago, I decided to have a dental implant rather than a bridge. Bridges can be hard to clean and can break down over time. I made an appointment with Dr. Lui and found the implant procedure virtually painless. My dental implant was problem free so, five years later, I had another implant placed by Dr. Lui. I have no discomfort, I can eat anything and the implants are easy to brush - just like normal teeth!
Abbotsford has created a homelessness task force, announced on Thursday, after months of ongoing discussions about how to deal with the city’s homeless residents. The task force – scheduled to first meet in early April – will operate as a committee of council and will be co-chaired by long-time Abbotsford Couns. Patricia Ross and John Smith. Mayor Bruce Banman said it will work with all levels in the community and conduct engagement activities to “en-
Chief Bob Rich; and Karen Matty, president of Matsqui Development Co. Ltd. There will also be representatives from Fraser Health Authority who specialize in mental health, substance abuse and homelessness issues, and representatives from BC Housing. The task force co-ordinator will be Cherie Enns, a University of the Fraser Valley associate professor who also works in social planning and researches best practices regarding social issues. Jake Rudolph, the deputy city manager, will serve as community staff liaison.
Coun. Henry Braun, who will not sit on the task force, said that, as it is a council committee, he still plans to attend meetings to listen, stay informed and ask questions. “I think this is the singlemost important thing right now that our community is looking at.” He said his one concern is that there is no one on the task force from the homeless community who can provide insight. “I’ve engaged the homeless community at different levels … they have something to say to us.”
AUCTION HELPS CFGB
I have complete confidence in Dr. Lui. His rates are fair and I know he keeps up-to-date with the latest technology and equipment. I highly recommend Dr. Lui to anyone considering having tooth replacement with a dental implant. Dorothy Lee, Retired teacher

McQuarrie acquitted, despite DNA at crime scene Rubber glove piece left behind at west Abbotsford home break-in Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A man whose DNA was found on a piece of a rubber glove left behind at an Abbotsford breakin has been acquitted of involvement in the crime. Judg e Kenneth Skilnick, ruling Friday
in Abbotsford provincial court, said he could not find Barry James McQuarrie, 33, guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, because the DNA of a second unidentified person was also found on the glove. “ … the evidence presented allows for
the possibility that it was the person who provided the unknown DNA profile who was wearing the blue latex glove when the offence took place,” Skilnick said. The break-in took place between Sept. 1 and 6, 2011 at a rural property in west

Abbotsford. The homeowners had left for a vacation on Sept. 1, and the house’s security system was turned off at the time of the break-in. The incident wasn’t discovered until Sept. 6, when one of the vehicles from the property was located by the Langley RCMP. They contacted the homeowner, who then had his brother go to the property. The culprits had entered the home by throwing a rock through a window. Every room in the house had been ransacked, and items
missing included two newer model vehicles, an all-terrain vehicle, and a significant amount of jewelry and electronics. The total value was estimated at $118,000. Investigators believed that multiple people were involved. Among the items located by officers from the Abbotsford Police Department’s forensic identification section was a piece of black electrician’s tape on the floor of the living room. The tape had a piece of blue rubber attached to it, and an analysis of the item turned up the DNA of
two people, including McQuarrie. No match was made on the other person’s DNA. At trial, McQuarrie said that at the time in question, he had a drug addiction and was working for a criminal organization that sold drugs. He testified that every night he would work from a rented house in Aldergrove where he sold drugs as part of a dial-adope operation. As part of his duties, he packaged the drugs and wore latex gloves to avoid absorbing methamphetamine on his hands and contaminating
the other items. McQuarrie testified that he changed gloves for each different drug that he packaged and would leave the used set on the table. “I possibly gave them to someone,” McQuarrie testified about the gloves related to the break-in. Although Skilnick said there was “considerable reason” to doubt McQuarrie’s testimony, he said there was no other evidence, besides the glove, to connect him to the crime scene, and he couldn’t find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The agency said it never asks for this type of information and if a CRA employee does contact someone by phone, there are established steps in place to ensure personal information is protected. The fraudulent emails often use CRA logos or Internet links that appear official, and they contain obvious grammar and spelling mistakes. Some claim the person owes money, while others state the person is eligible to receive a refund but must first pro-
vide some personal information. The CRA advises recipients to avoid replying to these emails or clicking on any of the links.

This is an example of a fraudulent email circulated to taxpayers and purporting to be from the Canada Revenue Agency.
FOR
Scammers posing as employees of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) have ramped up their tactics this month, with the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) receiving more than 20 complaints on Tuesday alone. Const. Paul Walker said, in one case, a woman was defrauded of $5,000. The APD first alerted the public of the scam in December, when 31 complaints were received for the month. At that time, people were receiving either an official-looking email or a phone call claiming they owed money to the CRA. The residents were told they had anywhere from 45 minutes to 24 hours to make their payments and, if they didn’t comply, police would be dispatched to their home to arrest them. They were told to wire the money to a location provided to them either in Ontario or the eastern United States. Three of the people who reported the matter in December lost sums of $200 to $2,000. Walker said now that it is income tax season, the scam seems to be happening more often. Earlier this month, the CRA issued a national press release warning taxpayers to beware of phone calls or emails that claim to be from the CRA. Some of the calls were asking people for information such as credit card, bank account and passport numbers. “Some of these scams ask for this personal information directly, and others refer the taxpayer to a website resembling the CRA’s, where the person is asked to verify their identity by entering personal information,” the CRA stated.

Jeff Nagel Black Press
Medical marijuana home growers have been ordered by the federal government to provide written notification by April 30 that they’ve halted production and destroyed any leftover pot, or law enforcement will be notified. But Abbotsford officials aren’t planning crackdowns on those who have been growing marijuana legally until April 1. Authorized personal growops for approved medical marijuana users become illegal at the start of next month
as their licences expire and the country switches to a system of regulated commercial production. Health Canada said in a statement March 14 it will notify law enforcement of any users who fail to comply with the notification requirement, an apparent shift from past refusals to disclose locations to local authorities on privacy grounds. But Const. Paul Walker of the Abbotsford Police said they are not planning any “big crackdown” come April 1, and there are no plans to shift resources to address the issue when the deadline passes.
He said police will respond to any public safety concerns as they arise. The new Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulation allows licensed medical marijuana users – more than 16,000 of them are in B.C. – to buy dried pot only from approved commercial producers via mail order. It is believed there are between 700-800 medical marijuana grows in Abbotsford. Many B.C. municipalities are keen to stamp out medical marijuana home grows, which they say often pose an electrical fire risk to neighbours and may leave mould and other safety hazards be-
hind for future residents. But most also don’t want to take on the burden of fixing what they see as a problem created by the federal government. Sensible BC campaign director Dana Larsen accused the government of reneging on promises of privacy for medical marijuana users. “There are going to be some people who lie about it, absolutely,” Larsen predicted. “It puts patients in a difficult position where they have to lie to the government on an official form or defy the government and not send the form in.”

Two years ago, the UBCM passed a resolution saying they would lobby for immediate decriminalization, followed as soon as possible by legalization. Did they ever act on that? That’s what cities should be pushing for, and not a witch-hunt against medical users. Dana Larsen
To answer, go to abbynews.com
And four years ago UBCM & FCM endorsed a resolution to decentralize the medical marijuana program to the provinces. No government level acted on that either... Joy Davies
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Do you feel the annual change to Daylight Savings Time is still valid?
This is wrong to make these sick people suffer like this. And how can you be legal one minute and the next be a criminal for the same plant? Next they will be telling us we can’t grow tomatoes just because the government says. Ashamed of Canada right now. These people have jumped through so many hoops to be legal. This program was set up to fail just like the new one... June Plante

Green machine gathers in British Columbia Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views Canada’s sleek, imported green propaganda machine rolled into the capital last week for a couple of days of meetings. You wouldn’t have heard about it, because they didn’t stage any protests or press conferences. Instead they met quietly with selected reporters as well as politicians from both sides of the aisle. They didn’t invite me for some reason, but from what I can gather, it was a friendly networking session. When I speak of our U.S. directed environmental movement, many people still don’t know what I mean. They see the signwaving on TV and assume it’s all spontaneous, driven by passionate volunteers. Nuke the Whales for Jesus, as we used to joke in the 1970s. It’s an industry now, and as with our automotive industry, Canada is a branch plant of the U.S. The Victoria event was an annual confer-
ence called Organizing for Change, sponsored by Tides Canada. Thanks mainly to the work of B.C. researcher Vivian Krause, this offshoot of the U.S. Tides Foundation now at least identifies itself while it pulls B.C.’s political strings. Organizing for Change currently includes Ecojustice, Greenpeace, Sierra Club B.C., ForestEthics Advocacy, ForestEthics Solutions, Georgia Strait Alliance, Dogwood Initiative, Pembina Institute,West Coast Environmental Law, Wildsight and Seattle-based Conservation Northwest. Tides is itself a front for wealthy charitable foundations based mostly in Seattle and California, funded by billionaires who see “saving” B.C. as their personal eco-project. Their hired activists met with Environment Minister Mary Polak to discuss her justintroduced Water Sustainability Act. This was to demand heavy fees and choking regulations on water used for “fracking,” that nefarious gas drilling technology so demonized in fake documentaries and celebrity protests.
Tides no longer attempts to hide its strategy of targeting energy development in B.C. and Alberta. Its tactics are well known, too. Environmentalists need high-profile wins, and the economic pain is best inflicted outside of the U.S., the biggest polluter in world history. Organizing for Change’s stated priorities for the year are the “last stand of the Great Bear Rainforest,” the “Sacred Headwaters” and the Water Sustainability Act. Professional protesters are mainly just taking credit for the 2012 buyback of Shell’s coalbed gas licences around the headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers. Tahltan Central Council declared that territory theirs in 1910, and having pros roll in with slogans and graphics wasn’t exactly crucial to the outcome. Their greatest marketing success so far is the Great Bear Rainforest, which is continually portrayed as being in peril from hunting, logging and of course, oil and gas development. One of the documents Krause unearthed is a 2008 plan entitled “Tar Sands Campaign
They’re not saving the whole planet, just the safe and lucrative parts.
Strategy 2.1” that has proven remarkably prophetic. As Greenpeace, Sierra and ForestEthics were negotiating the 2007 Great Bear land use plan, other network members were preparing to “raise the negatives” and market Alberta as a unique threat to planetary integrity. I’ve written before about the distortions and evasions required to present such a fossil fuel fairy tale. Suffice it to say that while we have busloads of protesters in B.C., you don’t see them in those benevolent petro-states Angola, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Kuwait or Algeria. They’re not saving the whole planet, just the safe and lucrative parts. And as I mentioned after the protesterstaged Neil Young concert tour, it’s amazing how American oil and gas interests and Alaska oil tankers remain invisible to this sophisticated network. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert met with the green machine too. He wants all of B.C.’s groundwater mapped and measured deep into the Earth’s crust. That should take a while.

three and seven weeks, double-time wages for a sixth or seventh day, many other generous benefits, and a generous pension after 30 years at age 55 is an unsustainable package. Fourth, postal delivery should be reduced to three days a week – Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. In this electronic age, that should meet all needs of individuals and businesses. The postal workers should not expect much public support in their current plight. Many Canadians recall that the CUPW ignored the public interest during its 1981 42-day strike or the 1978 strike when the union defied backto-work legislation. Or the other 18 costly work stoppages in the last 50 years. Now, however, the CUPW, Canada Post, and the public must cooperate to save a key public service. John H. Redekop Abbotsford
Trethewey St
Given that Canada Post will lose about $400 million this year, and a projected $1 billion by 2020, something must be done. Canada Post’s stated remedy is puzzling. Only a competition-sheltered government monopoly could see a solution instead of a downward spiral by reducing services while raising costs sharply. There is a better, multi-faceted option. First, door-to door delivery, for the one-third of Canadians who still get it, should continue for five years. This would permit seniors and disabled people to make residence decisions. Second, the bulk stamp cost should be raised to 65, not 85, cents. Third, to save the system, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) should accept adjustment of benefits. The average worker’s $23.11 wage is realistic but the 11 paid holidays, vacations between

Highway 1 collision numbers stable along Abbotsford portion

Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford stretch of Highway 1 sees its share of serious collisions – such as a five-car pileup on Feb. 14 – but, according to the RCMP, crash figures have remained stable over the last five years. Between 2010 and 2013, there were seven people each year who suffered serious injuries due to collisions on the highway – involving at least one night in hospital. The Abbotsford stretch runs from about 275 Street in the west to Boundary Road in the east. Cpl. Robert McDonald, with the RCMP Traffic Service, said that in 2008, there were five such cases; in 2009, a high of nine. “We’re not seeing an increase in collisions – nothing that would concern us enough to create a special project.” The numbers of people with less serious injuries, such as soft tissue damage and broken arms, were also fairly stable, falling within a range of 46 to 64 per year over the last six years. Specifically, there were 59 people with injuries in 2013, 63 in 2012, 46 in 2011, 58 in 2010, 64 in 2009, and 52 in 2008.

There has been no increase in serious crashes along Highway 1 in Abbotsford over previous years. McDonald noted that the 2013 figures aren’t yet final. There were no fatalities on the Abbotsford stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway in that time. The ICBC’s online crash map does show a high number of crashes in Abbotsford along the highway. Around the Sumas Way exit, collisions reached 132 in 2012, a threeyear high. At the Mt. Lehman exit, the second most dangerous zone along the highway, there were 111 crashes in 2012, a four-year high.
for your FREE estimate today.
However, McDonald cautioned that these figures present an inflated picture of the situation because they include minor rear-enders and scratches that result in no injuries. They also include occurrences off the highway, such as at the on- and off-ramps. Many are “more than likely” related to construction on the highway, said McDonald, where cars are bumper to bumper and are more likely to collide. Most incidents were not significant enough to warrant police attendance.

Community Services’ director given provincial award Rod Santiago, the executive director of Abbotsford Community Services, has been honoured with an award this week. The Award of Excellence was given by the Federation of Community Social Services of BC, a group that represents 130 B.C. community social service agencies and umbrella organizations, and gives the awards each year to leaders working for social justice. Rick FitzZaland, executive director of the federation, said Santiago was honoured for his leadership of an organization that provides more than 80 programs to more than 40,000 people per year in Abbotsford.

The Federation of Community Social Services of BC’s Award of Excellence was given to ACS’ Rod Santiago. He said Santiago has been a social-justice champion in making the case for a 20-bed housing project for homeless men in Abbotsford,
of poverty, homelessness and community responsibility.” This year’s awards were given to three community leaders.

Winter recreationalists and snowmobilers should be aware that construction of the Interior to Lower Mainland (ILM) Transmission Line continues. On-site activities include clearing of the right-of-way; construction of access roads and tower foundations; and tower assembly and erection. The ILM right-of-way continues to be a construction zone with restricted access. Restricted access is required for worker and public safety to avoid risks associated with such things as guy lines, partially constructed foundations, construction materials, or other potential hazards that may be hidden or partially hidden by the snow. Please avoid using the right-of-way for your activities. If you are in the area, use extra care when traveling around the right-of-way. The ILM project is a new 247 kilometre 500 kilovolt transmission line between Merritt and Coquitlam that will expand the electrical system so that BC Hydro can continue to deliver clean and reliable energy to homes and businesses in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

Top 10 named in Total Makeover The top 10 contestants have been announced in the Total Makeover Challenge. The challenge, sponsored by Go Fusion Fitness and organized by the Shape Your World Society, began with 50 participants at the beginning of the year. They have been hitting the gym hard, and each has lost 10 to 25 pounds and several inches. The group’s first challenge was the Amazing Race on Feb. 15, which resulted in them raising just over $1,800 for the Abbotsford Food Bank. The second challenge was a 4.4 km run around Mill Lake on March 8 which raised $3,425 for
the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation in support of the pediatric comfort fund. The top 10 were announced at that event: Sabrina Cartwright, Starlene Lowe, Karen Dykeshoorn, Brianna Lehan, Jennifer Nelson, Brittany Linde, Charissa Heppner, Laura Carver, Andrea Chapman and Larissa Winkler. Online voting to select the final five runs April 10 to 15 at abbynews.com. Also taken into consideration are points collection and sponsor input.

In response, Whittington, who is a clinical associate professor in the department of family practice at the University of B.C., commented on each plant remedy and questioned the efficacy of some local remedies. “I was interested in the women’s use of the Neem tree, or Sdao as it is called in Cambodia, as a viable alternative for treating simple medical concerns such as yeast infections and tooth cleaning. I also learned that the leaves are tasty in salad or fried and sprinkled over rice,” Whittington said. “It may be useful to keep an open mind and collaborate with people who have difficulty affording first-world medicines as they find ways to treat simple conditions.” Whittington then gave a talk on nutrition and symptoms of vitamin deficiencies, and answered questions. Garment workers who sit for long hours on hard factory benches were particularly interested in a sample “donut” cushion they could use to help alleviate hemorrhoids. As a small-business idea, they were reminded that they could produce and sell their own versions of the cushion. The Health Information Sharing Day was held by the Workers’ Information Centre, a women’s association that promotes empowerment and human rights in Cambodia.

#51
A17
NPN 80036946. To helps immune function. The only cold medicine with a money-back guarantee. Four medical doctors that wrote in their book SHARK LIVER OIL that you can prevent colds and flus. Dr. Hubert wrote since his own high-school age children took shark liver oil they have no more colds. Dr. Haimes’s grandchildren have been taking shark liver oil for 6 months and he writes they have no more infection of any kind. Read many testimonials on the Bell website: “I had 3-4 flus every winter. None last 5 years.” “Amazing! All of us have no more colds.” “No more asthma, no puffer, no cold, no flus, changed my life”. In North America this is a by-product from the restaurant industry. No sharks are caught for their liver or their cartilage. No more colds, also my eczema disappeared! Last 2 years I would get colds often due to stress as I am an athlete and body builder. After starting Bell Shark Liver Oil #51 I had no more colds or even a sign of a cold. Dennis Tudos, 23, Kent, WA
Virux Viral Infections NPN 80042655. Helps to reduce the recurrence of cold sores. By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H., PhD. Helps with sexually transmitted diseases, cold sores and influenza. 90% success rate per Dr. C. Hammoud. African plant base that has the ability to inhibit virus replication in our bodies. By shutting the replication down, the virus becomes inactive and therefore is not causing the body further harm. May help with HIV. Truthful statements from real people: Registered Nurse’s discovery! I’m happy to have made the discovery that if I feel the first signs of a cold or flu like symptoms, I take Virux Viral Infection. It stops it right away. This product has been a great alternative. We know allopathic medicine does not have a cure for viruses, but nature does, using God’s pharmacy is the way to go. Janna Dodds, 45, Clifford, ON First product that worked! I have been getting cold sores a number of times a year and spent a fortune on many products that did not help me. Your Bell Virux Viral #42 Infections helped me so much. I love it. Shannon B. Evans, 40, Panama City Beach, FL No more cold sores, no more colds! My kids had colds and when I felt a cold coming on as well I started taking Bell Virux Viral Intections and the cold stayed away. Another great bonus about this product is I haven’t had a cold sore after I started taking it. I was getting them so often and now they stopped. Thanks a tonne! Carrie Shoonbaert, 32, Deloraine, MB
Stem Cell Activator NPN 80035385. Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthyfunctions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self#63 repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. Women looking for anti-aging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB All around healing effect! The first thing I noticed after starting Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 was that my skin feels firmer and stronger. My friends commented that my skin looks more vibrant. My doctor at my yearly physical told me that my blood pressure is significantly lower. Many good things are happening. Joy Davison, 55, Calgary, AB Best natural medicine I ever took! First day of using the Bell Stem Cell Activator my energy levels were way up. No more afternoon slump. A friend stopped me asking me what I was using on my skin. My pain in my hip is gone. My pants got looser. Christine Blythe, 54, Hamilton, ON 100% Truthful testimonials with full name and towns. Real people you can call, if you want more reassurance. More testimonials on the Bell website.

to a 1-0 lead at the 8:56 mark of the first period, jumping into the play and wristing a shot from the slot past Bulldogs goalie Dustin Tokarski. Corey Locke and Sven Baertschi picked up assists on the play. But Hamilton otherwise dominated the opening frame, outshooting the Heat 16-6, and they got on the board w i t h 2:05 to go before the intermission BREEN w h e n M i k e Blunden took advantage of a turnover and beat Abby goalie Aaron Dell. Christian Thomas gave the Bulldogs their first lead midway through the second period, converting on a rebound, and Gabriel Dumont scored on a third-period penalty shot after being hauled down on a breakaway. Dell picked up third star honours after keeping Abbotsford in the game despite being out-shot 39-28. Baertschi, making his return to the lineup after missing four games due to an unspecified injury, extended his points streak to five games with his assist on Breen’s goal. It was the 10th loss in 11 games for the Heat (34-23-7, 75 points), who were first in the Western Conference less than a month ago but have slid to fifth place since their roster was decimated by recalls and injuries around the NHL trade deadline. With 12 games to go in the regular season, they’ve got a nine-point cushion on the ninth-place Oklahoma City Barons – the top eight teams in the conference make the playoffs. The Heat and Bulldogs (27-30-5) renew hostilities on Saturday (4 p.m. Pacific time), and Abbotsford visits the Toronto Marlies on Sunday (11:30 a.m. Pacific).

DID YOU KNOW...? ON AVERAGE, YOUR BRAKE FLUID SHOULD BE FLUSHED AND REPLACED EVERY 36 MONTHS
BRAKE FLUID FLUSH Corrosion is the #1 cause of brake component failure. Corrosion can pit the metal bores of the master cylinder, and ABS components. Just like engine oil, coolant and transmission fluid, brake fluid “wears” over time. Not only does brake fluid wear, but the internal brake components also wear, producing “slude”. This leaves the brake system vulnerable to corrosion and compromise.

One of the largest networking events coming to the Fraser Valley Alina KONEVSKI
ABBOTSFORD NEWS
Anyone looking to grow their business and make a few extra connections will soon have the networking event of the year on their doorstep in Abbotsford. Fraser Valley chambers of commerce are banding together to create this year’s Business Showcase. The seventh annual event will have more than 1,000 business people from the region mingling with about 200 exhibitors of all types. “We have local businesses ranging from small to large. We have not-for-profit organizations. We have home-based business. We have chamber members and non-chamber members,” said Carole Jorgensen, Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce’s events coordinator. The chambers from Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Cloverdale, Langley, Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows, Mission, Surrey and South Surrey-White Rock, present the show every April in Abbotsford and every fall in Langley. Admission is free, and there will be complimentary appetizers and beverages. “It’s a unique event. Yes, we
Photos from last year’s successful networking event at Tradex.
have exhibit booths, but because we have it complementary to attend, and
we’re providing food and beverages, it makes for a unique networking event,”
said Jorgensen. “And because of the members attending from all the partic-
ipating chambers, we have a great
mix of exhibitors.” New for this year is a line up of speakers. IGL Financial Solutions’ will give a talk at 3 p.m., with John Hakkarainen and Dustin Hughes; the topic will be about the Chamber of Commerce group insurance plan. At 4 p.m., Guy Steeves of Constant Contact will speak about the power of social media, while at 5 p.m., IQ Management’s Gerry Wiebe will present on employee training. Finally at 6 p.m., Ken Keis of CRG Consulting Resource Group will speak on creating greater value to improve credibility in the workplace. The 2014 Fraser Valley Chambers of Commerce Business Showcase will be held at TRADEX in Abbotsford on Wednesday, April 16, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Attendees are required to pre-register at abbotsfordchamber.com. Organizers are also looking for one more event sponsor, to join the list of three already signed on: Canadian Blood Services, Jani-Clean Janitorial Services, and Instant Imprints. There are still booths left for exhibitors, and non-member businesses

On Wednesday March 19, members of the Chamber gathered at the Rancho for our Annual General Meeting. At the meeting, the membership had the opportunity to elect 5 board directors for a 2 year term and hear from the Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade & Member of Parliament for Abbotsford. One of my favourite parts of the AGM is the opportunity that I have as President to update the membership on what we have accomplished over the last year. Here are a few of the highlights. In 2013 we celebrated our 100th year as a Chamber with many events to mark this great milestone. We organized a trip to China and created a
community grant program where we awarded $2,500 to three deserving local non-profit organizations. We launched this new Chamber publication with the Abbotsford News called myBusiness and worked with a class of UFV students to help us with a membership drive. From an advocacy perspective, we protected the interests of local berry producers by opposing an audible bird scare device bylaw. We saw the completion of the Mayor’s Task Force on Economic Prosperity and creation of an Economic Development Strategy for the City. The city announced that it will continue with the Mobile Business License Program brought forward by
the Chamber. Another area where we supported small business was our opposition to the location of a very controversial supportive recovery home. Although we support the need for this low barrier facility in Abbotsford, we don’t agree that the C7 zone within the Business Improvement Area is the right location. We continue to lobby to ensure that MMBC will have a minimal impact on businesses that produce paper or packaging that will enter the residential recycling stream. As we look forward into 2014 we have many new exciting initiatives underway which I will elaborate on in future issues.

Chamber teams up with UFV business students on membership drive to cold call 30 businesses to encourage a decision-maker to attend one of six information sessions being led by the students at the Chamber’s Sevenoaks boardroom. Allan Asaph, executive director of the Abbotsford Chamber, has been working with the students, letting them know what benefits to highlight when making their cold calls. During the week of March 24-28, the student groups will make in-person presentations to the “prospects” who have expressed interest in the Chamber after having heard the initial pitch via phone or in person. A component of the students’ grades in their UFV course will be based on their ability to fill the room with prospective Chamber members — some of whom will hopefully proceed on to membership. “This is active learning at its
best,” says Breedveld. “Our students enjoy the opportunity of being able to apply the knowledge they are learning in the classroom.” Some of the benefits that the students are explaining to potential members include networking opportunities, advocacy that the chamber provides on issues such as taxation, access to group benefits, the chance to meet new potential clients, and advertising opportunities in various Chamber media products. So if you see a few new members at Chamber functions this spring, ask them how they heard about the Chamber of Commerce. Chances are, a UFV business student sold them on the concept by showing how Chamber membership could solve some of their business challenges.

Practice makes perfect. That may seem like a cliché, but it holds true when students are trying to finesse a new skill. And since students in UFV business professor Mark Breedveld’s BUS 322 (Advanced Selling) class are working on honing their sales skills, it made perfect sense to team up with a local organization that was looking to expand its client base. Third-year business students have been working with the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce on a sales campaign aimed at boosting awareness — and ultimately membership numbers. The students were divided into teams, and assigned to do “cold calls” from a list of business names drawn from the city’s business licence registry. Students were welcome to call their own “warm” contacts as well, but each student had

Workplace bullying and harassment is a growing issue in British Columbia. So much so that last May the Government of B.C. passed Bill 14, aimed at addressing revisions to the Workers Compensation Act as it relates to compensation for mental health disorders. The government gave employers a six-month timeframe ending November 1, 2013 to meet these new requirements which include official anti-bullying policies, anti-bullying and harassment training for all employees, clear reporting and complaints procedures for bullying and harassment as well as detailed records for all cases of bullying and harassment. Given the significance of the changes, St. John Ambulance British Columbia and Yukon recognized the policies may be difficult for companies to meet. “Bullying and harassment is a major occupational safety issue that poses potential risk to the physical and mental health and safety of workers and it’s hard to know where to start when implementing new company
which shares resources and information needed to ensure compliance with Bill 14. A second, online employee program “Workplace Bullying and Harassment – How to Recognize and Respond” provides the required training and tools to prevent and respond to workplace bullying and harassment, including: a training program for supervisors and workers on how to recognize and report workplace bullying and harassment, adaptable templates for managers to develop an anti-bullying and harassment policy for the workplace, and procedures for reporting complaints and incidents of bullying and harassment. St. John Ambulance’s online format makes it easy for Abbotsford businesses to meet these requirements. For more information on these courses, or to register, visit bc.sjatraining. ca, call our Abbotsford branch at 604-853-8700 or Customer Service at 1.866.321.2651.
policy,” says Karen MacPherson, CEO St. John Ambulance British Columbia and Yukon. “While the initial six-month timeframe has passed, it’s still just as important that companies, regardless of industry or area, are educated on the importance of Bill 14 and are capable
of meeting these new requirements. As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting workplace health and safety, we developed online support and training programs aimed at employers and employees to make these adjustments as easy and accessible as possible.” The two-part program includes a free online tutorial, “BC Bill 14: Workplace Bullying and Harassment – Meeting Employer Requirements” for employers

Transforming the lives of our most vulnerable children Have you ever wondered how you could truly make a difference in the life of a child in this commuity? The Abbotsford School District recognizes the significant role that community plays in the success of our students. We know that it takes more than just a school to transform the lives of some of our most vulnerable children, and that is why we are asking for your support. The CIS initiative proves that a dedicated school staff and parent group, together with community volunteers, can make a significant impact on the future of our children. The project aims to break the cycle of poverty for students living in identified priority neighborhoods, by combining a focus on academic achievement and a positive school environment. We are not asking for financial resources, we are asking for the gift
of time. If you think you are part of a community-minded organization that may be able to release you to volunteer for up to 1 hour per week and are interested in helping the most vulnerable members of our community, then we would love to talk to you about how you can become a Community in Schools partner agency. It Takes an Entire Village to Raise a Child… Please contact us today at andrea_ senft@sd34.bc.ca or david_dewit@ sd34.bc.ca to be part of your next staff meeting. Best regards, Andrea Senft & David de Wit Community in Schools Coordinators
A29
For community and business leaders, a Community in Schools (CIS) partnership can be one of the most efficient and effective ways to contribute to significant community change: • Partnerships are making a significant and direct impact, and they have engaged the community to be part of that change. • Volunteers return to work feeling positive and satisfied with their contribution. • Volunteers enjoy sharing in children’s lives and celebrating their successes.

Presented by the Rev. David McElrea The Holy Bible has shaped the course of history and transformed countless lives. Men and women have lain down their lives to preserve the Bible and put it in our hands. But what is it? Where did the Bible come from? Is it still relevant in today’s world, and if it so, how might we read it? Join us for our 2014 Lenten series as we explore the nature and significance of this remarkable work.

Wrestlers warm up for nationals at UFV
Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
The University of the Fraser Valley was the nerve centre of wrestling in the province last Saturday, as it played host to the inaugural B.C. Open Club Championships. BC Wrestling launched the event this year in an effort to give young wrestlers an intermediate competition between the high school provincials two weeks prior and the national championships two weeks later. The tournament drew upwards of 150 athletes
in the juvenile (age 1718), cadet (15-16), middle school and elementary divisions. "It achieved its purpose for those who came – the kids got some matches in," said Jim Mitchell of the Mid Valley Athletic Club, who helped to organize the event. "It went well." A pair of Abbotsford teams earned divisional medals. The Miri Piri Wrestling Club finished atop the juvenile/cadet boys standings, while the Abby Wrestling Club was second in the juvenile/ cadet girls points and third on the boys side.

T-Birds sign six from Abbotsford Figure skaters sparkle in Kelowna
The UBC Thunderbirds football program has officially landed six recruits from Abbotsford high schools. The T-Birds, who unveiled their entire 2014 freshman class last week, signed Robert Bateman Timberwolves defensive back Tanner Friesen and Rick Hansen Hurricanes offensive lineman Harjot Ghuman late in the recruiting process. They join four other locals whose signings by UBC had been previously reported by The News: Hansen siblings Brandon (linebacker) and Alex (quarterback) Ho, Bateman running back Ben Cummings, and Mouat defensive lineman Levi Hua. Figure skaters from the Abbotsford Skating Club excelled at the Super Series StarSkate Final in Kelowna. Jaclyn Regier won a silver medal in the silver senior women's division, and finished third in the super series points standings. Mica Kerr (silver ribbon, star 3 girls) and Kate Thompson (bronze medal, star 4 girls U13) also brought home hardware from the

Lincoln ready to challenge again By Zack Spencer
When you think about a premium brand, Lincoln probably doesn’t come to mind. The once mighty domestic luxury brand has been left too long without any unique offerings to distinguish itself from the parent brand Ford. For decades Ford would take existing models, make a few changes and call
them a Lincoln. This drove the brand to almost irrelevance in a highly competitive marketplace. Well, there are big plans afoot at Lincoln to change all of that. With a lot of hard work, unique designs, engines and marketing, Ford is hoping to make Lincoln relevant again, not just taking on rival Cadillac but also the best of the import
luxury brands. I had a chance to catch up with Jim Farley, Executive Vice President of Global Marketing, Sales and Service for Lincoln and Ford, at a recent auto show. Getting to spend time with one of the driving forces behind the new Lincoln was eye opening. He told me, “All you need to know is two facts. The first fact is that
we sold all of our premium brands, (Jaguar, Aston Martin, Volvo and Range Rover). We have no other luxury brand than Lincoln. So if you want a luxury brand and you’re an executive at the company, you’re going to be driving a Lincoln. The second fact that you need to know about is that we have already spent the resources on the product, for
fully differentiated products that the company has not done in decades. So, this is kind of the first time, in probably 20 years, that the company has really, in Lincoln, been truly global. And the decision to go to China is very important for Canadian customers because it is the ultimate example of our commitment.” There is a four-vehicle
onslaught of new products that Lincoln hopes will bring them back. The first was the MKZ sedan that came out in 2013. It has been selling well, and the hybrid version has been a surprise, with buyers choosing it in volumes Lincoln had not expected. The second vehicle will be the all-new MKC compact luxury SUV, based on the Ford Es-
MUD-TERRAIN T/A
cape that will arrive this summer. Farley describes the MKC this way: “It’s a subcompact, Escape-sized true luxury product but it has even more exclusive features compared to the Ford product than we have ever done at Lincoln before.

My next vehicle came from a used car wholesaler*. There was nothing wrong with it, but he couldn’t find a dealer who wanted it. I gladly took it off his hands. How hip was I? I had a new source of newer vehicles that would come right to me. “Two-year-old car for sale. No previous accident history reported, only 35,000km on it. Call with offer.” Shortly after, I got a call from a young man. His car had just broken down, and he needed a new one fast. He agreed to meet me at the local construction site where he worked. He was just finishing up his lunch when I arrived. He was wearing his construction uniform and I immediately noticed his tired eyes. I felt bad for the poor fellow, and I was glad that I was selling him a reliable vehicle. He didn’t need another headache on top of everything. I even knocked $500 off the price I wanted. It was a smooth transaction. The guyy looke looked edd happy h and thanked me immensely ely forr all the help. I beamed back at him. Around 5:00 a.m. the next morning, I got a call. It was the construction ructioon worker, yelling so loudly that I could barely ely understand u him. “THEY TOOK IT AWAY,” ” he said over and over again. “REPOSSESSED!” !” I hung up on him and triedd to make sense of the situation. Why would ld th the he car be taken away in the middle of the he night? n Who’s “they”? Liens. Of course. The car ha had ad a lien on it. That’s why it wouldn’t sell ell on a lot. The bank must have seized it due to an unpaid balance. As before, I panicked. I didn’t idnn’t want to get involved in this right now. w. SSure, I sold him the car, but how was I supposed seed to know it had
a lien on it? I realized the wholesaler* had scammed me! If that fellow had asked for a CarProof history report or even a provincial lien search, I’d be the one screaming. Over the next several hours, I kept letting my phone go to voicemail – I couldn’t bear speaking to the young man. I knew I had to switch phones again. I felt a bit ashamed. But I needed to be selfish about this. At this point, the best thing for me was cash. And lots of it. *Wholesaler – Vehicle sellers may call themselves auto brokers or wholesalers to sound legitimate and cheaper. But if they’re selling to private buyers, they must be licensed as a dealer. Like any curber - an individual posing as a private seller but selling vehicles as a business – wholesalers and brokers offer none of the protection the law provides for purchases from a Vehicle Sales Authority licensed dealer. Walt learned that lesson, sson, but his buyer paid the price.
“They took it away,” he said over and over gain. “REPOSSESSED!” again.

lower than the Escape.” In describing the MKC, Farley said, “It has all the comfort and feature-functions that you would expect from a world-class luxury brand.” Powering the MKC is an all-new 2.3L turbocharged EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine with an estimated 300hp and 300lb.-ft. or torque. This is the same engine that will be available in the all-new Mustang. The design of the new MKC has a very European silhouette but with a stylized Lincoln grille. The back of the MKC was a major engineering and design challenge due to the wrap around tailgate that brings to mind the Audi Q7. What Lincoln is hoping to do is offer more for less than the German competition. $39,940 is a great starting point for any small luxury crossover. With 300hp and a great starting price the MKC should find an audience. The biggest problem Lincoln has is getting people to

Chrysler Canada recently recorded 50 consecutive months of year-over-year sales growth.
Bob McHugh
’’
By Bob McHugh
These days, there’s always something new and interesting to see at a Chrysler auto show product display. Big and small it’s got’em all. There’s a super-cute little Fiat that can run forever on a litre of fuel over here and a big, brawny heavy-duty Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn Diesel that can pull a mountain over there. Then there’s value-packed Dodge, go-anywhere Jeep and those top-line Chrysler brand products, including the sleek new (2015) 200 sedan. Gear-heads will, of course, be gathered around the
SRT Viper, which reportedly can transport occupants to 100 km/h in less than four seconds. On the business side, Chrysler Canada recently recorded 50 consecutive months of year-over-year sales growth, which is the longest period of continuous market improvement in the company’s history. Globally, 2013 was another great year for parent company Chrysler Group LLC, which reported a year-end net income of $2.8 billion, up from $1.7 billion the previous year. So far, in 2014, the sales growth story continues with award winning new vehicles and there are more new products in the pipeline. The radically redesigned Jeep Cherokee was recently voted 2014 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year, by members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) and has already achieved best ever mid-size SUV sales results for Jeep. Cherokee is the first Jeep built on a body platform co-developed with corporate partner Fiat S.p.A. The base engine is a fuel-efficient
2014 Dodge Charger 100th Anniversary Edition
2.4-litre Tigershark MultiAir 4-cylinder engine and there’s an optional new 3.2-litre Pentastar V6 engine. Other engineering highlights include a nine-speed automatic transmission and a new Jeep Selec-Terrain traction control system with up to five customized drive modes. This year the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered with a new 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 engine option, which is expected to deliver best-inclass fuel economy, a driving
range in excess of 1,100 km and towing capability up to 3,357 kg (7,400 lb). A new eight-speed automatic transmission comes with all powertrains. Grand Cherokee also offers three 4x4 systems and a Quadra-Lift air suspension. Led by the Ram 1500, Motor Trend magazine’s Truck of Year for the second year in a row and the only half-ton with a diesel engine option, Ram is now the second-best selling vehicle in Canada.
Chrysler separated its Dodge brand and created the distinct standalone Ram brand to concentrate on core truck customers and offers a range of vehicles that includes pickup trucks, vans, cab/chassis platforms and commercial products, The Fiat brand is a relative newcomer to the Chrysler family and is sold through selected Chrysler dealers. A recent surge in sales was led Continued on page 41

primarily by the introduction of a new Fiat 500L. Expanding the size and appeal of the diminutive Cinquecento (Fiat 500) and offering 42 per cent more interior space plus seating for five, the new 500L is a contemporary and uniquely Italian styling package. If big, bold, and powerful is more your style, the Dodge Charger is a rear-drive, full-size sedan with power to match its muscular styling. A new Redline Package comes with 20-inch black chrome wheels, Beats Audio and an upgraded 300 horsepower, 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine. If that’s not enough, there’s a new R/T edition that comes with a 370 hp HEMI V8 engine. The best-selling minivan of all time, Dodge Grand Caravan, is the definitive family transporter. It now only comes with a Pentastar 3.5 litre V6 engine - no gutless base engine here - linked to a 6-speed automatic transmission. A new “Blacktop” package includes a black gloss front grille and headlamp treatments plus black polished aluminum wheels, giving it a more sinister appearance. The already mentioned 2015 Chrysler 200 is a redesigned mid-size sedan for those who have earned the right to enjoy some luxury and those
For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, she has loved cars. She can even remember thinking at the age of six, “Only ten more years until I can get my licence!” Born in Zurich, Switzerland to Hungarian parents, she moved to Canada when she was just a baby. Spending her summers in Budapest with her grandparents helped cultivate a strong liking for motorsports. Alexandra can remember watching F1 races with her grandfather, and still does even when she goes to visit. Over a decade ago, Alexandra started her career in the automotive industry. Since then, she has had countless stories and photos published. You can find her work online, in newspapers, magazines and on television. She has hosted “Shifting Gears Automotive TV” and regularly makes appearances on various shows talking about, you guessed it, all things automotive. When she’s not testing out the latest in vehicular goodness, you’ll either find her on a motorcycle (she tests and writes about those, too), on a track or traveling the world. While she considers her “job” her hobby, Alexandra enjoys other activities that don’t necessarily involve wheels, engines or motors. Growing up on the North Shore of Vancouver, she loves the mountains and the ocean. An avid snowboarder and a wannabe surfer, count on her enjoying the outdoors when she has the chance. And to really help her relax, she scrapbooks. Share your thoughts and requests with Alexandra at alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

DID YOU KNOW? B.C. timber baron J.O. Trethewey and his brothers, owners of Abbotsford Lumber Company, built an incline railroad to bring logs down from the top of Sumas Mountain. The weight of the cars coming down pulled the empty cars back up to the logging site. The loaded cars were transported to the mill on Mill Lake for processing and timber was exported for projects such as the Wellend Canal in Ontario.

MAIN EVENT
my
Coast-to-coast tour stops in Abbotsford Canadian pop rockers Hedley are bringing their electro-infused anthems to the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre on April 12 as part of their coast-to-coast Wild Live Tour. The band will be performing more than 30 shows across the country to promote their fifth studio album, Wild Life, and will be joined by special guests Classified and USS. Lead vocalist Jacob Hoggard, originally from Abbotsford, says it doesn’t matter if they are performing on the JUNO stage or at a small town venue, they approach it with the same sincerity. “Performing for us is being who we are onstage and letting ourselves come out naturally, and I think that makes a big difference,” says Hoggard. “We can laugh, have fun and be really passionate about the music.” Hedley’s ever-changing sounds continue to be reciprocated by audiences, proven by their four consecutive multi-platinum albums Hedley (2005), Famous Last Words (2007), The Show
Must Go (2009), and Storms (2011). Hoggard explains that the “musical evolution” of the band is more prominent than ever with the fifth album, which includes their fastest selling single “Anything.”
We can laugh, have fun and be really passionate about the music. “For us that evolutionary process of learning involves a lot of experimenting, trying new things, and that’s why it’s almost an imperative that our album sounds different as we progress through our journey as song writers,” says Hoggard. “I would be devastated if
I made a record that sounded like the last one I made.” Leading up to the release of each single, Hoggard finds himself in a state of “pure anxiety,” and often second guesses whether the fans will positively receive the new music. So far, Wild Life has been nothing short of a smashing success. “The other night I had a really awesome experience when I went backstage to get a drink of water and the crowd was stomping on the ground so it sounded like thunder and they were cheering the bands’ name,” says Hoggard. “I was standing by myself in the dark and I shut my eyes, and it felt almost fake, like how a dream would feel … and I said to myself out loud, ‘You’re not dreaming.’” Tickets for the Abbotsford show are on sale now. Hedley will also be offering several VIP packages including a meet and greet, exclusive merchandise items, and an exciting “Golden Ticket” opportunity. Check www.hedleyvip. com for details.

Best tressed Bun hairstyles are relatively easy to create but have an air of complexity that makes people think you spent hours perfecting your ’do. Here are the most popular hair buns of 2014.
MESSY BUN No matter what type of hair you have, thick or thin, straight or curly, this look can work for you.
LOW BUN The always chic low-knotted bun is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a work meeting, wedding or coffee date with your friends.
FRENCH BRAID BUN These are really stylish. Just gather your hair and french braid it, working across the back of the head. Then twist the end of the braid around to form a bun. Magnifique!
SIDE BUN Side buns are super simple. Make a low side ponytail, then twist the tail until it wraps up into a bun and pin it in place.
HOT BUNS
GET THE LOOK 1. Make a ponytail 2. Tease it until you get big messy hair 5. Secure the end of the teased hair with a small elastic 5. Roll your hair down gently, until the elastic meets the base of your ponytail 6. Thread the ponytail end through the front 7. Tease the ends and spray 8. Secure the bun`s edges with bobby pins 9. Spray again and use your fingers to shape it

Say goodbye to your false eyelashes and lash extensions! Grow and thicken your own spectacular lashes naturally. Many things can hinder hair growth, harsh mascaras, dyes, excessive sun exposure, or simple genetics. There are three distinct phases for lash growth, the anagen, catagen, and telogen phases. The anagen phase is where the lash and brow enhancers stimulate the growth potential. Most enhancers contain specific peptides, which are chains of amino acids that stimulate keratin production. By applying an enhancer directly to the hair follicle, each hair strand receives causing it to grow stronger, thicker and longer. Here are some great choices for lash and brow enhancers.

According to the Canadian Medical Association, 75% of illness is related to lifestyle, community livability and access to health care. In Abbotsford, we are trying to improve our knowledge about lifestyles and health care access, and how the community affects our health. The Fraser Health Authority and Vancouver Coastal Health Authority are working to change that with the My Health My Community survey (www.myhealthmycommunity.org). Abbotsford has a proven history of promoting healthy lifestyles through the Healthy Abbotsford partnership, including making ‘the healthy choice the easy choice’ for children and families through shar-
ing and supporting the Live 5210 message (www.live5210.ca). The My Health My Community Survey can further enhance this work by improving our understanding of the conditions in which families live, including how safe residents feel walking in their neighbourhood or if they can afford to put healthy food on the table. This information can also be used in other planning processes such as the upcoming Official Community Plan update. A community designed with health in mind creates vibrant and livable spaces for all. To get the best picture of health in Abbotsford, Fraser Health is hoping
to get more than 2000 surveys from Abbotsford residents. Those who complete the survey by June 30th, 2014 are eligible for great prizes including iPads, Abbotsford Heat Tickets and a 1-year Recreation Pass. Simply visit www.myhealthmycommunity.org and click “Take the Survey” to help Abbotsford build a healthier community! In the spirit of friendly competition, Mayor Banman accepted a challenge by Mayor Adlem of Mission to see which city can achieve the highest participation rate in the survey. Currently Abbotsford stands at 30% while Mission is in the lead at 68%! Be counted and help Abbotsford win the challenge!

April 6 - April 12 is National Volunteer Week National Volunteer Week (April 6-12, 2014) is a time to recognize, celebrate and thank Canada’s 13.3 million volunteers. With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering are enormous to you, your family, and your community. Volunteer work is important not only to individual volunteers but to Canadian society as a whole. Volunteers strengthen our communities and make our country vibrant because these acts of kindness all over Canada boost our nation’s happiness. Volunteering gives us a feeling of satisfaction at giving back to our community. For every good deed we do, our self-esteem and confidence grows. Just seeing the smile on someone’s face makes

One of the better-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Unpaid volunteers are often the glue that holds a community together. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. However, volunteering is a two-way street, and it can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills. Volunteering is a fundamental act of good citizenship and it’s also essential in our society.

Six helpful tips to keep you safe while hiking BRENT MURDOCH
OWNER/OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST VALHALLA PURE OUTFITTERS
3. CARRY THE ESSENTIALS: Extra clothes, always, no exceptions (rain wear, fleece jacket, toque even in summer). A light with extra batteries (headlamps work great), and a first aid kit with the basics, including something for blisters. Food and water – minimum 1 litre per person with extra energy foods. Bring along shelter, emergency bivy sack, reflective blanket or even an orange plastic bag, a signal device (whistle or flare), pocket knife and hiking poles.
Spring is in the air and thoughts turn to getting outside. We are surrounded with amazing hiking in the Fraser Valley. But how can we hike safely? Here are a few tips to have fun and be safe! 1. KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING Have a map and a compass or GPS. If you have a GPS, know how to use it and have extra batteries. Communications can be limited. Don’t rely on your cell phone but bring it with a full charge. 2. TAKE A FRIEND.
4. TAKE A CAMERA & KEEP RECORDS IN A JOURNAL
If you are new to hiking, go with others. Share your experiences with others and see what others see.
Months later you will want to remember how long the trail took and what information you need for next time.
5. LET SOMEONE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND WHEN YOU PLAN TO BE BACK Leave a note in your vehicle stating the trail and when you plan to return (fold it up so you aren’t advertising how long you are leaving your vehicle unattended). 6. BE COMFORTABLE Good hiking shoes, socks and comfortable clothes (non-cotton) are a must.

SIPPING
VINES
KATHLEEN RAKE
How do you know if a wine is ready to open and drink? The reality is, much of the wine we find in our market place is ready to drink now or very soon. Yes, some wine can reap benefit from lying down for a while longer, and other wine will definitely get better with age, but, sadly, some wine will only get tired with age.
The Ultimate Dish
RECIPE CONTEST Every food-lover has at least one dish they make exceptionally well. You know you’re a good cook, but do you you have what it takes to prove you’re a GREAT cook? Here is your chance! Whether it’s your own recipe or a family favourite, it’s time to enter the $1,000 Grand Prize Giveaway.
To enter, send your recipe to: ultimatedish@abbynews.com Maximum 300 words. Please include your full name, address and a daytime number where we can reach you. Feel free to include an original photo of your meal or you in the kitchen! For full contest details visit abbynews.com/contests.
$1,000 Grand Prize!
Private cooking lesson for you and 7 friends and a shopping spree all at Lepp Farm Market!
So, how do you know if a wine is ready to open and drink? My stock answer is, “Well, it depends.” I am not trying to be evasive or guard some state secret; it really does depend. It depends on the region, sub-region, vintage, grape variety, producer, age of the vines, and so on. That’s not to say there aren’t some general guidelines, because there are. A vintage chart is one of the tools that can help you with a broad overview. But better yet, especially here in B.C., just contact the Okanagan or Fraser Valley winemakers about their products and ask them. They’ll tell you.

vibrant possibilities pictured in our seed catalogs long enough, it’s time to start planting! We’re excited about adding more Lepp Farms grown produce at the market, including field strawberries, sweet carrots and candy cane beets. Before you know it, our market bins will be overflowing with BC’s best fruits and vegetables. We created Lepp Farm Market to connect our community with as many locally sourced products as we can, and to inspire you to prepare them in simple and delicious ways. Because after all, good food, good laughter and bountiful crops are always better EXP when shared! LO
