City pays $5.5M to end deal with Heat Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford Heat’s financially challenged five-season tenure in this city is coming to a close. At a press conference on Tuesday morning at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC), Mayor Bruce Banman announced that the City of Abbotsford will pay the Calgary Flames $5.5 million to terminate the remaining five years of the 10-year supply fee agreement signed in 2009 to bring the Flames’ American Hockey League affiliate here. The agreement guaranteed the Heat a break-even annual budget of $5.7 million. Over the first four years of the deal, local taxpayers paid $5.24 million to cover financial shortfalls. The contract-ending payout does not include a projected deficit of roughly $2 million for the current 2013-14 season. Losses totalling $11 million were estimated for the final five

years of the contract. “There is absolutely no question in our minds that taking this step with the Abbotsford Heat is the best scenario financially for the city and our ratepayers,” Banman said. “This is probably one of the most challenging decisions that council has had to make. However, this cheque is half of what the projected (supply fee) cheques would have been.” The city said the contract buyout will be covered by 2014 operating savings and unappropriated reserves, and there will be no property tax impacts. The Heat will depart at the conclusion of the Calder Cup playoffs. Upwards of 20 front-office staff members were informed Tuesday morning that June 30 will be their last day of work. Glens Falls, New York has been recently rumoured as a destination for the Heat, but Flames president and CEO Ken King
said there are multiple options. “I appreciate that city administration and taxpayers stood up to their (contractual) obligation,” King said. “And our return for that was not extending the pain or anxiety with that. That’s as good as we could do ... to essentially permit the agreement to be terminated. “It’s not a profit centre for us. The relocation process for a team is exceedingly expensive, and it’s going to take that and more to do it.” As part of Tuesday’s announcement, the city unveiled a Continued on A3

Manslaughter sentencing adjourned until June 26 Crown asks for more time to prepare Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
An Abbotsford man who was due to be sentenced Friday (April 11) on a manslaughter conviction had his hearing adjourned until June 26 after Crown lawyers said they had been caught by surprise by points the defence intended to argue. Lawyer Rob Mcgowan told Justice Carol Ross in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver that the Crown planned to recommend that Robert McMath, 69, receive the mandatory minimum sentence of four years for manslaughter “where a firearm is used in the commission of the offence.” Conviction for such an offence can range from four years to life in prison. Mcgowan said defence lawyers indicated only on Wednesday, April 9 that they would be seeking a sentence of less than four years, and they would cite 15 prior court cases to support their argument that the mandatory minimum was not applicable in McMath’s situation. The index of those cases was not presented to Crown until the day before the sentencing hearing, Mcgowan said, leaving prosecutors no time to prepare counter arguments. Ross agreed with the Crown’s request to adjourn the sentencing hearing, although she said she was reluctant to do so, especially when about a dozen of McMath’s family members were in the courtroom supporting him and awaiting a decision.

95.
She said defence would be seeking a sentence of “substantially less” than the mandatory minimum, and it was important that both sides be given an equal opportunity to argue all the points. McMath was initially charged with seconddegree murder in connection to the shooting death of his estranged wife, Janice, 64, but was found guilty in December of the lesser charge of manslaughter. At that time, Ross ruled that McMath accidentally shot Janice twice in the chest, resulting in her death in hospital nine days later on June 7, 2008. McMath had testified at his trial that he and Janice were talking in a barn on the family property on McMath Street and he was holding a .32 Remington rifle that he had put outside because of coyotes that had been attacking and killing his chickens. He said the gun accidentally discharged when his arthritic knee gave out and he stumbled, and it went off a second time when he fell. The Crown had argued that McMath intentionally shot Janice to prevent her from going after certain assets – including the farm property, which had been in his family for generations – in their divorce. Ross ruled that McMath was negligent in the way he stored the gun, and found him guilty of manslaughter. If he had been convicted of second-degree murder, he would have received an automatic life sentence.

Rural areas not dump sites for anything Mark
Rushton On the
Other Hand It’s the middle of April, and a month into spring, yet the few glorious days we’ve enjoyed seem invariably preceded and followed by cool temperatures. A week ago, the sky above the horse pasture was filled with swallows. A day later there was frost on the barn roof and the warmth was gone, as were the birds. Either they continued north in search of better weather, or more likely returned to balmier southern climes. The 20 or so showy wood ducks that normally arrive on my pond around March 1 are still absent in numbers. One pair arrived a week ago, four more on Sunday.
But what makes me even more convinced, despite the calendar attesting otherwise, that winter has yet to leave is the number of Christmas trees still being dumped on the roadsides of Sumas Mountain. Surely those who think littering is fine if it’s biodegradable haven’t had the trees adorning their living rooms all this time! So why, in the intervening weeks between the end of December and now, do they suddenly think it’s acceptable to clean up their backyards by messing up the backyards of my neighbours? To add to their stupidity, with the price of gas hitting $1.39, it probably costs more to drive up the mountain to dump their tree than it would to take it to the city’s composting depot. In fact, city hall often provides free passes to the Gladwin Road facility. And speaking of recycling, the centre at Vye and Riverside charges nothing to take old TVs; a cheaper, easier and
course, is that each of us already pays to have our garbage picked up at the curb, so why not make the effort to get your trash out on the street in time for pickup? Thinking that it’s free to litter is another mindless assumption. City crews will have to pick up the roadside mess, at a cost that is eventually recouped from taxes. To be fair, however, I should point out that not all rural folk are holier than thou. There is an appalling amount of litter around the community mailboxes at my corner. Few of us appreciate all the junk mail we receive, but that’s still no excuse to toss it to the ground, or adorn the top of the boxes with it. It isn’t the mail lady’s job to pick it up, nor is it mine. As noted, we all get (and pay for) recycling pickup. Take the junk home, and put it in your blue bag. markrushton@abbynews.com
less unsightly option than the one chosen by a litterer who dumped an old set, along with piles of other crap, along the side of Straiton Road. It’s frustrating when hauling a trailer load of waste to be recycled that I’m passed, going the other way, by a shiny SUV towing a similarly loaded trailer
City crews will have to pick up the roadside mess, at a cost that is eventually recouped from taxes. with garbage bags and branches soon to be tossed onto the road shoulder. Guess it didn’t occur to the dumper that plastic bags don’t biodegrade – at least not in our lifetime. The biggest folly in all of this of

New West found solution
In regards to James Breckenridge’s letter concerning Abbotsford’s homeless population. The city of New Westminster has obviously found the template for solving  some of the nation’s greatest problems  of homelessness, mental illness and addiction.  They found that the actual solution is to give them a job and a place to live, and it’s proven to be cost ef-
fective as well.  Go figure! U n f o r t u n a t e l y, Abbotsford and other communities across the nation are still taking the old school approach on dealing with our challenged society. New Westminster’s approach should be commended and considered a serious alternative to tending those who count on us, instead of treating them punitively. Art Green, Hope

Heritage focus group on Sumas Clay Products
B R I T I S H
Company has a 100-year history in Abbotsford The Sumas Clay Products Ltd. Site will be up for discussion on April 22, with an opportunity to provide input on preservation and a future direction for the company. The discussion will be held on April 22, at 7 p.m., at The Reach Gallery Museum. Sumas Clay Products Ltd. has a long history in Abbotsford, starting in 1913. It has operated under several owners and names over the past 100 years. In 1978 Flex-Lox Industries, which owned the operation at Kilgard, closed the clay plant, focusing instead on the production of plastic pipe and pipe fittings. The move put many of the Sumas First Nations out of work so the band incorporated as Sumas Clay Products and purchased the clay plant to provide economic stability for its people. The plant was in disrepair and the first few years the Band struggled with financial problems. For several years sales improved and the company prospered but the site’s future is now in question. Annie Silver, a Sumas First Nations band member and business administration student, will facilitate the evening. Please join the discussion to provide input into the preservation of an important heritage site and the future of the operation that will drive its preservation. For more information contact Annie at annie. silver33@gmail.com. To pre-register email kfoulds@thereach.ca.

Ian Harwood Ian Harwood has been involved in the light truck industry for the past 30 years. His career started with the opening of a small 4-wheel drive shop in the early 80s. This shop was involved in custom fabrication, complete 4x4 rebuilds, and sales of off-road related products. This would prepare him for his current position as Manager for Custom Truck Parts, one of the largest accessory warehouses in Canada. Ian started his journalism career in the late 1090s with a column in a national magazine for automotive enthusiasts. In the spring of 2005 Ian was approached by a local news outlet to write a weekly column. Wilderness exploring, fishing and four wheeling have been his passion since he was a teenager. Some memorable moments in Ian’s career are flying in by hto the famous Rubicon Trail in Northern California and driving a 2007 Jeep Wrangler out of the backwoods, up a waterfall and out of the trail to Lake Tahoe. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Decor for the younger set
Design for a nursery or child’s room has come a long way since blue for boys and pink for girls.
By Kerry Vital If you’re interior designinclined, one of the fun parts of raising a child can be decorating their room, whether it’s designing their nursery or re-decorating a room to suit an older kid who has outgrown their babyish tastes. However, if trendy home decor isn’t high on your priority list, it can be hard to know where to start. “You want timeless pieces that can grow with the child,”

The homeowner had a specific style in mind when renovating his home, and Best Builders, in collaboration with Sarah Gallop Design Inc., was able to give him that with retro touches such as contrasting white and dark flat crown cabinetry. Ema Peter photo
Reviving the 70s with the help of Best Builders Best Builders worked with Sarah Gallop Design Inc. to create a modernized home while still keeping the 70s style the owner wanted. By Kerry Vital Old is new again with Best Builders’ 70s-style project that has more than a touch of retro flair. In partnership with Sarah Gallop Design Inc., Best Builders was able to give the homeowners exactly what they were looking for while sticking to budget and bringing everything in on time. “The homeowner had a specific style in mind,” says Best
Builders owner Todd Best. “It really turned out amazing.” Best notes that the original home was very closed off, with individual rooms instead of open space. He and his team opened up the entire main floor to make it more useable for the entire family. “Now, there’s nowhere in the house that you can’t hear ‘time for dinner!’” Best says. “It’s a complete transformation.” The outdoor space is one of the most spectacular things about the new home, and Best is very proud of it. “The outdoor turf soccer field is built to the same specifications as the (Vancouver) Whitecaps field,” he says. That field can also be turned into a volleyball court by folding away the nets. There is also an outdoor fire pit and new tiered sun deck, among other features. “You never have to leave the house,” says Best, adding that
the homeowner’s children come home with their friends every day and spend hours playing outside. Of course, that’s only when their parents aren’t using it themselves. There is now 2,100 square feet of outdoor living space for the family to enjoy. “We were constantly working with the homeowners,” says Best. “Our guys would be talking to them and giving them new ideas all the time.” Other outdoor additions included new fencing, a new gate and a trellis. The homeowners wanted to keep the 1970s look of the exterior, so Best and his team removed the old cladding, planed it and re-installed it. The aim was to respect the existing

Newly renovated home includes professional-quality soccer pitch in yard “ from page 17 architecture while making it more functional and modern for the family. “Outside, there’s nothing spectacular about it,” Best says. “They wanted it to look like the other homes on the street, but inside it’s refined.” They kept the old fireplace and used matching bricks to patch where the new beams tie in, and kept many of the interior features such as the cedar panelling. “All of the furniture was custom-built in California,” says Best. New millwork was
added, including shoe storage in an entry pony wall for extra convenience and flat crown cabinetry that utilizes contrasting white and dark finishes. The master bedroom was moved downstairs and a spa-like ensuite was added, and the kitchen was moved from the centre of the home to the rear wall to create a great room-kitchen combination. A live edge wood bar top is included on the kitchen island for an extra touch of vintage style. The redesigned family room is now the favoured place for the whole family to spend time together, whether it’s doing homework or watching a movie by the fire. “Family comes first to the homeowner,” says Best. “It’s been a very well-received project.” The home has been named a finalist in three categories at the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Ovation Awards, for Best Kitchen and Greatroom Renovation, Best Renovation: $300,000 to $499,999 and Best Outdoor Living Space: New or Renovated. The winners will be named on April 26. “We have a very strong team,” says Best. “We guarantee quality and take great pride in our finishing.”
The soccer pitch was built to the same specifications as the Vancouver Whitecaps field, above, while the exterior, far left, was rebuilt to fit in with the surrounding neighbourhood. Cedar panelling, left, was retained as another 70s-style feature. Ema Peter photos

Animals never go out of style when it comes to nursery decor “ from page 17 says Jacqueline De’Ath, owner and designer at Homeworks Etc. Designs, noting the example of a changing table that converts to a dresser once the child is no longer in diapers. Many cribs will convert into a toddler bed, and a well-chosen room theme can continue to be appropriate for many years. “I see a lot of repurposing furniture,” says De’Ath. “You can take an end table and make it into a nightstand. Paint it a bright colour to add a pop to the room.” Textiles such as sheets and pillows are another way to add interest to a room. Prints such as triangles, circles and plus signs are all
popular right now. “People are introducing metallics,” says De’Ath. “The easiest way is through a wall decal, lamps or other light fixtures.” Like many other rooms, grey is a big colour for nurseries and kid’s bedrooms for 2014. “It’s popular in all tones,” says De’Ath. Easy additions to spice up a nursery or children’s room include personalized decor such as wooden letters spelling out their name. “Kids love to see their names,” says De’Ath. Keeping things organized, especially when there’s a baby around, is extremely important. Having everything to hand with wall hooks and other storage solutions can save you

“My electrical panel may be old, but it doesn’t look bad and it still works...
It’s still OK, isn’t it?” Safety Tip: Every electrical panel should be assessed regularly by a professional electrician to determine whether it is still safe. I recently had the tires replaced on one of my service trucks because the tread had worn thin. I could clearly see that the tires needed replacement because tires wear out from the outside in. Your home’s electrical service, however, deteriorates from the inside out. Without regular professional maintenance and testing, you will never know when a dangerous and potentially life threatening failure might occur. Rarely will you see or experience anything seriously wrong with your system until it is too late. This requires the eye of a trained and experienced professional. Worn circuit breakers, deteriorated bus bars, corrosion, overloaded circuits and loose connections are just some of the problems that may exist in a system that is not inspected or properly maintained. This is why residential electrical failures account for over 7,400 household fires a year. Many of these failures could have been prevented with a thorough electrical panel inspection.
The Blue Crest Electric 25 Point Safety Evaluation will identify potential concerns before they become serious or expensive problems. This report is the equivalent to your car’s service maintenance record. Schedule an appointment today.
The Primary Reasons for electrical system failures in residential homes are: Q Corrosion Q Heat-related damage Q Electrical Surges Q Improper original installations Q Improper additions & modifications Q Poor workmanship Q Age-related deterioration Q Excessive loads Q Insulation deterioration Q Arcing faults Q Physical damage of wiring or devices Q Water or humidity damage Q Neglect

Rooms should be functional as well as cute “ from page 19 valuable seconds. As for themes, popular ones might be familiar to many of us. “Animals are always a classic for nurseries,” says De’Ath. “They never go out of style.” Other popular themes for a baby or older child’s room right now include pirates, dinosaurs, flowers and the ever-classic princesses. Making a room themed can be as easy as finding the perfect decal to add to a wall. “Wall decals are almost replacing wallpaper right now,” says De’Ath. “They’re not as permanent, so they can be removed easily.” She also notes that blackboards are popular additions to bedrooms right now. “You can write little notes and messages to your kid,” De’Ath says. “Kids love notes, and it encourages play in a room.” Her number one tip for parents? “Keep it simple,” she says. “You should also know your style. Is it modern, classic, vintage? You need to know what you’re looking for.” She also recommends making sure the room is functional by ensuring that it has space for sleeping, playing and whatever else the child will use it for. Decorating a nursery or children’s room has come a long way in the past few decades; you’re no longer relegated to blue for boys and pink for girls. Now, you can decorate that room just as you would decorate your own; suiting the occupant’s taste and style.

When the Abbotsford Heat hit the ice last weekend, they didn't know they were playing the last regular season home games in franchise history. Tuesday's announcement that the City of Abbotsford would be terminating its contract with the AHL franchise (see story, page 1) rendered the FridaySunday series versus the Oklahoma City Barons as historic in retrospect. The Heat won the opener 3-2 behind a spectacular 35-save performance from Joni Ortio, with Brett Olson, Derek Smith and Blair Jones supplying the goals.
The Barons rallied for a 5-4 shootout win on Sunday thanks to two goals from Austin Fyten. Heat defenceman Brett Kulak scored his first pro goal, while Olson, Ben Street and Max Reinhart also scored for Abby and Doug Carr made 23 saves in his pro debut. The Heat (40-25-8, 88 points) are fifth in the Western Conference and assured of a playoff berth. They finish the regular season with a threegames-in-three-nights road trip: Thursday and Friday at the San Antonio Rampage, and Saturday at the Texas Stars. The playoffs begin next week.

Caught up in the moment not an excuse In my zeal with a new smartphone, I have videoed everything from the fun to the downright boring. When viewing a recent video clip, I was surprised when an off-colour remark was caught on video and lo and behold, it was my voice that made it! I thought, “I am going to have to edit that out.” Jesus said, “For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.” (Luke 8:17) Now, having an over-
active imagination, I tainly doesn’t cut it wondered what this with God. The real solution verse might look like: A giant screen before is to edit our movie now by not all mankind, just being sad where every for what we action and inhave done, tention of my but doing a life is played 180-degree out in hi-def? turn and makNot an amusing every efing thought, fort to ensure especially it doesn’t hapwhen there is SCHAPANSKY pen again. It’s no chance for just like in my marediting. Yet God sees it all riage when I make a mistake, saying sorry right now. I don’t think we can to my wife is one use the reason, “I was thing, but if I am recaught up in the mo- ally sorry, I will do all ment” – the timely that I can do not to excuse crafted by repeat it. But what about our the Vancouver rioters. That doesn’t cut weaknesses? Our God it with us and cer- said He can deal with
them in a one-two punch: 1. He said he will strengthen us.
2. He himself will provide an escape from our temptations. So go ahead, edit
your movie now, you will be amazed to see how your movie ends. Dave Schapansky is

Harmeny’s warmth and compassion were unlimited; each day she fulfilled her desire to make the world a better place. Harmeny was immensely proud of her two children, Ian and Leifka Vissers. She taught her children to be strong, independent, and always ensured that they felt loved.

McINROY, Kenneth Nelson It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kenneth Nelson McInroy on April 8, 2014 at the age of 82 years. Ken is survived by wife Edith, son Greg (Juanita), daughter Cynthia (Dave) and grandchildren Brendan, Lauren, Sean, and Shaeline. Most of Ken’s working career was spent as a millwright in the sawmilling business. He loved to build things, including houses in Mission and on Pender Island, as well as furniture and numerous other projects. His true passion was fishing, and he spent many hours on the Vedder and Chilliwack rivers. He also enjoyed baking, and was famous for his bread, buns, and wonderful lemon meringue pie. The family would like to thank the staff at Greystone Manor in Maple Ridge where Ken and Edith lived, and specifically the staff at Hawthorne Care Centre in Port Coquitlam where Ken received exceptional and compassionate care during his final months. In keeping with Ken’s wishes there will be a small familyonly memorial at a later date. Memorial contributions can be made to the Heart of Hawthorne Foundation. Expressions of sympathy can be made at: www.gardenhill.ca

CAR SHOW APRIL 18-20
STARS Continued from page B3 well represented at our 2014 event. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the hit ‘70s TV show Happy Days, and we are very pleased to announce that Henry Winkler, aka ‘The Fonz’, has been confirmed as our special guest of honour. Happy Days capitalized on the nostalgic theme of the very successful American Graffiti movie and revolved around a group of friends growing up in a small American town in the late ‘50s and ‘60s. The Fonz character was the definition of cool in the TV series which took us back to a time of innocence and featured great cars and classic rock ‘n’ roll. We are honoured that Mr. Winkler has taken time from his very busy schedule to attend. Another addition to our line-up of car stars will be an appearance by old-school car customizer Larry Grobe, better known as Voodoo Larry. You can catch him at the Cherry Bomb Photography booth where he will be signing autographs and demonstrating his pin-striping skills in between working on a special chop at the
S Street directly in front of the Tradex, courttesy of MountainView Harley-Davidson. Our Fuel and Fire event continues to be a big hit with race fans thanks to sponsors W West-Can Auto Parts, Eagle Motorplex a and Mission Raceway Park. Be a part of tthe action when nitro methane-powered dragsters and fuel altereds fire up their 3,500-plus horsepower engines thrilling fans with Thunder In The Pipes! And as if that’s not enough, Barry Prescott and his jet powered-funny car, the Terminator, will be performing in our Burner Bang Shootout! These cars are unbelievable to watch generating 30-foot flames from their afterburners in an awesome display of raw power that you’ll just have to see to believe! Catch all the action Friday and Saturday at 9 p.m. (nitro and jet demo), and again Sunday at 2 p.m. (nitro and burnout contest).

RIDLER AWARD WINNER! 1964 Buick Riviera “RIVISION’ Owned and built by JF Laurnier, Osoyoos, BC British Columbia Classic & Custom Car Show
Starting with a 1964 Buick Riviera, one of the iconic designs in the automotive world, JF Laurnier, owner of JF Kustoms in Osoyoos has taken Bill Mitchell’s design to a whole new level. Keeping true to the overall concept of the car, but tweaking every bit of it, is tricky to get right, and the Ridler Award is proof he got it very right indeed. As with all new customs, the modern running gear allows it to run and perform like a new exotic super car but with a totally unique personality. The overall look is so perfect that even the next generation “Boattail” rear window looks like a factory design. The original
Riviera was conceived by legendary designer Bill Mitchell to give GM a car that had a taste of a Rolls-Royce with the performance of a Ferrari. Laurnier had already tackled the Detroit Autorama’s Ridler award with 3 cars he had built for customers and now was the time for him to recreate a Buick Riviera and tackle the Ridler award with a car of his own. The 1964 Buick Riviera, dubbed “Rivision,” was in a league of its own. Out of the 2014 Great 8 contenders, four were Chevys and three were Ford hot rods. Knowing the ‘64s roof had a sedate look, Laurnier added another of Bill Mitchell’s classic designs, the early ‘70s Riviera Boa.

THE
CAR SHOW APRIL 18-20
Jason ROESSLE Abbotsford News
A 1970s television legend will be in Abbotsford later this weekend for the annual B.C. Classic and Custom Car Show. Best known as The Fonz from Happy Days (which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year), Henry Winkler will be speaking at the event, scheduled for April 18-20 at Tradex. But Winkler wasn't always a car guy. He leases his vehicles, and as long as they start, he's happy. "But now when I go to these car shows, talk about will and passion – [the builders] have created works of art," he said. "I have enormous respect for what they do. To experience their pride and joy in that vehicle is emotional. Winkler said that his talk is simply about his life story. "Even if they came to see The Fonz, they will leave having an appreciation of who I am today." It was the struggle to escape the typecasting shadow The Fonz cast that formed Winkler into who he is today. "There was a time when it was hard
to get hired," said Winkler. He then aimed his efforts at directing, producing and writing. Winkler has also long championed helping children suffering from learning disabilities – something he knows all too well. A dyslexic, he struggled daily with his chosen profession, especially one that emphasizes memorization. The accomplished performer has also co-authored 26 children's books with Lin Oliver. The main character is Hank Zipzer, a boy afflicted with dyslexia and growing up on the Upper West Side of New York City, is based on Winkler himself. The books have also spawned into a television series of the same name, which first aired in January 2014 on the Children's BBC in the United Kingdom. Aside from some guest television and movie appearances, Winkler earned another legion of fans from his work on the cult-favourite TV show, Arrested Development. Winkler said he still counts as one of his greatest TV moments the time he was able to make a notoriously serious man, producer Mitch Horowitz, laugh out loud.

British Columbia Classic & Custom Car Show
Over the years we’ve come to know and love many TV characters, from Hawkeye Pierce and Louis De Palma, to Andy Griffith and Archie Bunker. While plenty of television’s actors have perfected their role and landed a place in American pop culture in regards to being labeled a ‘Cool Dude’, it would be safe to crown this one TV character above all others as the coolest there is. If you were to look up the word cool in the dictionary, no doubt his picture would be included. Who else would be swarmed by adoring girls by simply snapping his fingers, start a juke box with one swift pound of his fist, or create his own ‘macho vocabulary’ that included ‘Exactamundo’ than the ‘70s TV icon known as ‘The Fonz’. Also going by the title ‘Fonzie’, he was the main character that sky rocketed the seventy’s TV sit com Happy Days to the number 1 rated program in America. Played by a recent acting school graduate by the name of Henry Winkler his interpretation
of a small mid-western town’s motorcycle riding, leather jacketed rebel would become one the biggest success stories in television history. To better understand how this all transpired we’ll start way back in 1973 when the ABC TV network executives had noticed the success of a certain George Lucas produced movie called ‘American Graffiti’ and wanted to capitalize on the sudden nostalgia craze. A TV pilot for a new ‘50s show (even though ‘Graffiti was set in 1962) was arranged, but before this was initiated a TV producer by the name of Garry Marshal was contacted about a ‘50s ‘skit’ that had already been televised as one segment of the ‘Love American Style’ TV show. Since Garry already had in place a nostalgia story line ready to produce into a full blown show, ABC elected to pick up his work. It also helped that appearing as one of the actors in that skit was Ron Howard, the actor who had starred in ‘Graffiti’. It only made sense to include him in this new venture. When Happy Days first aired

on ABC in 1974 to meager ratings, high school student Richie Cunningham, played by Ron Howard starred as a teenager dealing with friends and family life in a typical Wisconsin town during the ‘50s. The usual comical antics and practical jokes ensued. Critics soon anticipated a quick burial, after all this was a time when Disco was beginning to develop. Fate may have cut this show’s existence if not for one lone factor. Producer
Garry Marshal had included a cha character in the sscript that wou would transform form, and save Happy Day as well Days, as g give rise to o one of the mo popular most sta ever stars tel televised. When it ca came time to conjure up a ‘50s G Greaser ty chartype ac acter Garry d delved into h past for his in inspiration. It was his r recollect tion of a leather j jacket clad hoodlum that hung around a Bronx New York diner, similar to Arnold’s diner on Happy Days, that Garry had frequented as a youth which would be the impetus for The Fonz. This part called for a young Italian/American type and a casting call for actors went out. Having recently graduated from the Yale school of Drama the up-and –coming actor by the name of Henry Winkler would answer that call. Competing against Henry was a slicked haired Mickey Dolenz

from the ‘60s musical group The Monkees. But landing the part of Arthur Fonzarelli (The Fonz) was Winkler. In this role as The Fonz Winkler would play one of Richie Cunningham’s friends, (who was the star of the series) together with Richie’s other friends Potsie Weber and Ralph Malph. Initially this lesser part called for The Fonz to be a street tough biker type who was employed as a mechanic and spent his off hours as a bit of a womanizer. As the show progressed so did the role of The Fonz as it was becoming more evident that he was beginning to be the ‘Leader of the pack’. During the beginning of that first season Arthur Fonzarelli sported a beige coloured windbreaker, not exactly standard issue rebel gear. ABC censors thought a black leather jacket implied The Fonz was too much of a juvenile delinquent. Garry Marshal argued that for safety reasons (for motorcycle riders) he should be allowed to wear a leather jacket. This was permitted, but only while riding his motorcycle. So in most early episodes scenes with him were shot with his 1949 Triumph TR5 trophy motorcycle. Eventually this restriction was relaxed, and as his role in the show increased so did his popularity, as well as the show’s. He was fast becoming a ‘chick magnet’ as he had a pension for attracting a harem. Exuding confidence The Fonz was
now set to be TV’s next King of Cool. Bolstering his image The Fonz would command conversations using his own terminology which included such unique words as ‘Exactamundo’. Another word, although not invented by him, nerd, was given new life to the point it is now a common part of our vocabulary today. Not to be forgotten was the hugely popular ‘Sit on it’, a phrase created by the show’s writer Bob Brunner. Then there is his all-encompassing catch phrase, “Aaaaayh”, which is usually accompanied by a two ‘thumbs up’ gesture. This apparently was derived from the days of the Roman gladiator battles. With Winkler’s brilliant interpretation of a ‘50s greaser scoring huge with viewers and critics alike, his Fonz character was elevated to the main star status, and was the commanding figure in the cast. With his wealth of ‘street wise’ knowledge he was often sought out for advise by the shows other characters, including Richie. One such conversation went as follows; “Act tough, sound tough and maybe people will think you’re tough”. Making use of Arnold’s men’s washroom as his office he could typically be seen playing pinball and living by his ‘code of honor’, “live fast, love hard and don’t let anyone use your comb”, obviously an important tool for keeping that cool image intact. Showing that there was honor in the greaser life style he had included the Fonzarelli
code “If a man saves your life, any favour he asks you gotta answer it”.This may be derived from the fact he considered his hero to be the Lone Ranger. By the mid-seventies this formula for a ‘50s sit com had become such a success Happy Days was the #1 rated TV show in America during the ’76-’77 season, and The Fonz’s popularity was so vast that he was receiving 55,000 fan letters per week! In 1980, as a true indicator of just how much he was idolized, the Smithsonian Institute of American History put on display The Fonz’s trademark leather jacket, cementing his place in cool’s subculture. Lending credibility to his cult status The Fonz is listed as #4 in TV Guide’s ’50 Greatest TV characters of all time’. The revered actor who could be credited with giving life to The Fonz, Henry Winkler, has gone on to become a diverse actor, as well as producing and directing in show business. His lengthy list of roles include ‘The lords of Flatbush’, ‘Night Shift’ and ‘The Water Boy’. One of the shows Winkler has produced was the 1990s hit ‘MacGyver’. In his free time he and his wife Stacey are involved in numerous foundations and charitable organizations. He is also accredited with being an accomplished author.

CLASSIC & CUSTOM
CAR SHOW APRIL 18-20
‘VOODOO’
LARRY The man with many talents
Richardt SCHOLZ
British Columbia Classic & Custom Car Show
Custom car builder, pin-striper, musician! To say Larry Grobe is talented would be an understatement. Well known for creating some of America’s coolest traditional customs, Voodoo Larry (a nickname given him by a customer years ago) has been a devoted disciple of the custom car culture since he was a teenager. Born in Chicago, Ill., Larry was introduced to the world of hot rods and custom cars when he saw George Lucas’ iconic film American Graffiti in 1979 for the first time. At the young age of 15, the experience would forever change the direction his life would take. He credits the movie and in particular the scene featuring a custom 1951 Merc and actor Bo Hopkins (leader of the
Pharaohs car club) for kick-starting his life long interest in old cars, ‘50s music and the ‘graffiti’ lifestyle. Over the next 30 years, Larry totally immersed himself in all things custom car-related. Completely self-taught, he has created too many cars to list, but two that deserve special recognition are his Voodoo Idol, a 1946 Ford Coupe built as a tribute to legendary car builder Gene Winfield (also appearing at this year’s show) along with the Voodoo Kreeper, the 1953 Chevy 150 Sedan pictured above. In 2007 Larry converted his passion into a business opening Voodoo Larry Kustoms in Elk Grove Village (a suburb of Chicago). His shop specializes in the creation of one-of-a-kind old school customs and traditional hot rods. Over the past eight years his work has be-
come very respected among the ‘Graffiti’ crowd right across North America. Typically there are anywhere from 10 to 12 projects on the go at any given time in his shop with one to two cars being completed each year. In addition to building custom cars, Larry is also an accomplished pin-striper. Inspired by the early work of Big Daddy Ed Roth, he’s been laying down lines for more than 20 years. In his spare time, Larry is also very active in the car club and show scene around Chicago. He is the founder of the Voodoo Kings car club (established in 1998) and has also been the organizer of the highly popular Motorama feature section of the Chicago World of Wheels for the past five years. He also plays stand-up bass in the Rockabilly band ‘Lil Red and the Howling

Wolves, which he formed three years ago (check it out on Facebook). Can you say busy guy? You can catch up with Larry at the show by visiting the Cherry Bomb Photography booth where he will be demonstrating his pin-striping skills in between working on a “chop” at the Custom Car Classroom. Although this is not the first time Larry has attended a car show in the Greater Vancouver area (he appeared at the 2011 Abbotsford World Of Wheels) we are very pleased to have him at our show. And something tells me that we’ll be seeing a lot more of Voodoo Larry around the Fraser Valley in the future (you’ll have to ask him what’s up). I’m sure his many Canadian friends and fans will be very happy about that indeed.

Frozen Vegetables: Q The Powerhouse Convenience Food Dear Chef Dez: Whenever I buy a bag of either frozen peas or frozen corn, they are nicely individual but after say 1-1/2 weeks in my freezer they are turned into one big hard lump. Any suggestions? ~ Barbara T. from Maple Ridge, BC Dear Barbara: This usually happens because the frozen vegetables partially thaw, waters collects on the vegetables, and then when they get put back in the freezer they clump together because the newly formed moisture freezes everything together. This can start happening even from the time you place them in your shopping cart, while you wait at the till, get them in your car, travel home and then finally make it into the freezer. Even in this time frame, the vegetables become partly thawed and will cause this clumping. The only thing I can suggest is to make sure you do the following: • Shop for frozen foods last when making your grocery store trip. • Keep frozen foods together in your cart/bags to help keep them cold. • Get them immediately into the freezer when you get home. It is hard to always keep this clumping from happening at all, but the only other thing to suggest is bring a cooler with ice packs with you in your car and as soon as you leave the grocery store place them in this cooler for the trip home.
During every trip to the supermarket we must make choices between the price, health, and convenience aspects of the foods we buy. Most people tend to believe that fresh is always the best option, and in many cases it is, but what about frozen vegetables? Are they just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts? Studies have shown that most frozen vegetables are just as nourishing. Other than a quick blanching process to kill any bacteria, they are virtually unprocessed and flash frozen to preserve freshness. By staying frozen from shortly after harvesting until the time they reach your kitchen, they are by far a better product than most people think. Unless fresh goods are harvested locally, they must travel great distances in order to be available to you in the produce section. This usually means that they are harvested before full ripeness occurs in hopes of them being at their peak by the time they arrive for one to purchase. This timely arrival is not always the case however, and you may be left with a more inferior product than if you were to get it direct from the farm. Full
ripening on the tree/vine before harvesting also always produces a far more healthful product. This being said, if you live in a farming area where fresh local produce is available then by all means buy fresh, otherwise frozen is another viable option. For many households frozen is far more convenient for their busy lifestyles: cutting, washing, and in some cases peeling has already been done for them. The chance of food spoilage is also greatly reduced, unless it is forgotten about in the freezer for long periods of time. Most frozen vegetables are recommended to be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. They are not immediately bad or freezer burnt in the 7th month, but should be used up sooner rather than later for optimal results. I am not by any means suggesting that one should always buy frozen when it comes to imported fruits or vegetables, but merely that there are other healthy and convenient options to fresh when applicable. One last note is to always read the labels on all packaged foods to ensure that you are aware of any added ingredients that may be present.
