Firefighters save life of hockey teammate ‘The surgeon said if I didn’t have these guys, I wouldn’t have made it.’ Tyler OLSEN

T
he last thing Lindsay Hickmott remembers from his Nov. 9 hockey game is sitting on the bench, getting ready to take his next shift. His next memory is waking up in an ambulance, struggling to breathe and wondering what, exactly, had happened. Less than three weeks later, Hickmott stood in Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service’s Hall 1 with two teammates, shaking the hand of the fire chief and hearing – not for the first time – the story of how he survived to skate again. TTT Hickmott and his Fraser Valley Cresting Wings were hoping to turn around a losing skid when they stepped onto the Centre Ice surface at 6:30 p.m. to face off against the Canex All-Scars. The game was still young, in the first period, when Hickmott took what would be his final shift. As the play headed up the ice, Hickmott skated by his own bench then, without warning, suddenly slumped to the ground. Teammate Ed Griffioen, who was on the bench, saw Hickmott try and hold himself up with his stick, then collapse. Griffioen thought Hickmott may have taken a hit in the corner. Continued on A4

Suspensions still happen, but they have dropped from 1,365 in 2009-10 to 791 last year. That number, he says, is a measure of adult behaviour – namely, the decision to suspend. But Godden said student-outcome numbers also suggest the approach may be working. “I don’t think it’s by accident that our graduation rate has gone up,� he said, noting that many of those who leave school before receiving a diploma become “disengaged with school in part because of suspension.� He also thinks the new approach has decreased the number of repeat offenders. “When you build that kind of culture which involves how you talk to kids and how you deal with errors in judgment, there is a reduced likelihood of repeat offenders.�

In 2013, The Reach held an exhibit of Bladon’s model work and Foulds said she continues to have a least a few of his miniatures on display. “People just love them.” Abbotsford historian and cartoonist Ernie Poignant is fortunate enough to have one of Bladon’s artworks on display at this home. Several years ago the two men both had displays on at the MSA Museum at the same time – Poignant had several historical photos of Matsqui on display, while Bladon was exhibiting some models. Bladon spied a photo of the Matsqui home Poignant was born in back in 1919, later made a model of it and eventually — after having it out on display for a time — gave it to Poignant, who now proudly displays the
model at the entrance of his home. Poignant, 96, also marvelled at the depth of detail in each of Bladon’s models, noting that the artist had even included the little outhouse in the model of his family home. “I can’t say enough about him,” said Poignant. “It really touched me.” “What I found amaz-

OF THE WEEK When you make charitable donations, do you prefer to give items rather than funds?
Food bank shortage We have so many churches, etc. in Abbotsford, I think they could do a lot more – way more. Ravi Sharma Can hardly afford to feed my own family. Perhaps the government should start thinking about how to help its people. Larina Dee
To answer, go to abbynews.com
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
This is horrible. If you can, help your food bank in your community. It is appreciated by many people! Help make their shelves have food in them. Amber King
Are you satisfied with the results of the civic election in Abbotsford?
If everyone donated one bag of groceries each month or even every two months, the food bank’s shelves could be full all the time. Mandi Friesen

Liquor changes could push up prices Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views When the B.C. government announced its latest changes to liquor distribution, the reaction was not what I expected. Private store representatives complained bitterly that the government is allowing further expansion of fridges and “cold rooms” in selected government liquor stores, and longer operating hours that include more Sunday openings. Those hours, along with non-union staff, are the private stores’ big advantages as things stand in B.C.’s hybrid liquor retailing system. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union didn’t seem at all perturbed that staterun stores’ key advantage was also going to be gone effective April 1. That would be preferential wholesale pricing, in which the government’s monopoly wholesaler sells to them at cost and to private stores at higher rates.
How much higher? Liquor Distribution Branch officials were carefully vague on that, and it varies depending on which of the 22 wholesale categories you look at. They released a graph that suggests the average wholesale cost to government stores might be going up 10 to 15 per cent to create a “level playing field” with private stores. That wholesale price difference is the main reason private stores have generally higher retail prices. And the majority of the province’s revenue of nearly $1 billion a year comes from this monopoly wholesale business, where the hidden tax is coyly termed a “mark-up.” When the new, simplified system comes in next spring, a bottle of hard liquor will have a “mark-up” of 124 per cent. That’s right, LDB more than doubles the price with its wholesale liquor tax. And if it’s premium booze, anything valued at more than $21 a litre will get an extra luxury tax on top of that.
Coolers and ciders will see a 73 per cent mark-up. Wines are taxed at 89 per cent, with extra luxury tax on premium wines. Beer gets a per-litre tax with ascending rates for small, medium and large breweries. Then of course there is federal and provincial sales tax applied to all of it. Cheers! Premier Christy Clark acknowledged that the first guiding principle of this overhaul is to keep that government revenue coming. The new BCGEU president, Stephanie Smith, doesn’t sound like your bullhorn-toting socialist of yore. She insists she’s gung-ho to compete head to head with those private interlopers and get back some lost market share, particularly on the high-volume cold beer sales. The union has another ace in the hole. Its current contract stipulates that LDB can’t close stores. In some small towns there are government stores that lose money, particularly since they’ve had more private competition. But at least
... the average wholesale cost to government stores might be going up 10 to 15 per cent
for the duration of this BCGEU contract, the government retail arm will continue to operate in some places as a perverse social program, subsidizing retail clerk jobs that pay nearly twice what private retail pays. And let’s face it, running a till at a liquor store is not rocket surgery. Private and government store staff have to take the same training, and liquor inspector sting operations have increased vigilance on ID checks in all stores. With higher wholesale prices applied to government stores, this kind of artificial support will cost more. The only way LDB could maintain it without subsidizing it from the wholesale windfall would be to raise retail prices. The LDB says this new simplified system is “not intended to impact consumer pricing.” Note the careful choice of words. Oh, one last thing. There is another new tax in the works.

The fiscal reality of inaction on homelessness
Re: Letter to the editor by Jackie Newman (Nov. 19) offers the opinion that an addict should successfully graduate from detox before being housed. If the Fraser Valley had sufficient detox spaces to service the 121 individuals (esti-
mate provided in the Nov. 19 letter), perhaps I would agree. Yet several years back Fraser Health – in its wisdom – closed down the detox centre at Chilliwack Hospital. And current openings for detox treatment are simply not
readily available. Last year I met a young man in our local psychiatric ward who was there for an extended period of time, waiting for a detox bed to open up. Further conversations informed me that he was not

The quietest year of all Whether the credit belongs to city hall, the police or the fire department, or all of them, there is lots of reason to praise their efforts at making Halloween safer and quieter. Before the 2005 bylaw we endured a month of noise and destruction. It was awful to watch the trauma those explosions caused, not just to humans but also to our animals. This year was the quietest of all, thanks to the diligent work of city staff. Gerda Peachey Abbotsford

People enjoy posting pics of their food on social media. What if a community campaign to fight hunger made it even more meaningful? UFV Global Development students C y d n ey Myers, Kara Hanson and Carolina Silva launched a charity challenge around this very question to encourage food bank donations. The challenge went live Nov. 17 with the hashtag #sharemynextmeal, said Myers. The goal is to raise community involvement and hunger awareness in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission and beyond. The students, who take a Global Development Studies class at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, were assigned the task of designing a campaign with a more local focus. “Our Global Development Studies class focuses on development issues around the world but our professor, Cherie Enns, asked us to create a campaign that focuses on poverty within our own communities,” said Myers. Myers said they originally decided to work with the Abbotsford Food Bank, meeting with co-ordinator Dave Murray to discuss it, but as they put the campaign together, they realized social media would give the challenge the ability to spread even further. This is how it works: Once tagged and challenged, participants post a photo of their Continued on A13

next meal, with the hashtag #sharemynextmeal on Twitter or Facebook page. They mention which community food bank they plan to “share” their meal with, by donating cash or non-perishables and tagging three friends they wish to challenge. Hanson said they hope it results in more donations to all food banks, “because they are all struggling right now.” Myers is from Chilliwack, Hanson lives in Aldergrove and Silva is from Mission. But already their challenge has reached across the country to Ontario and into the U.S. in Colorado and Texas. Abbotsford’s food bank is currently in dire need of donations leading up into the busy holiday season, and many other communities are facing the same issue. The team saw an opportunity to harness the considerable power of social media to encourage people to help the community that they live in. Best of all, they could do it without a budget. “The idea was just to come up with a campaign and because we had no overhead costs we just ran with it,” said Hanson. “We take snapshots of our

It doesn’t matter if people take photographs of restaurant plates, or homemade meals, as long as they tag, share and donate. “It is really a social experiment. I don’t know where it will lead,” Myers said. Silva said they are starting to see people catch on and she
has even challenged family in Portugal. Hanson added that social media can help spread the word more quickly and without borders. Myers said people who can’t donate themselves can still encourage others, adding that people don’t need to wait to be challenged to participate. “Be part of a social movement, be a part of a community and initiate a challenge yourself.” Information on the campaign can be found at facebook.com/ sharemynextmeal or on Twitter @sharemynextmeal.

Bradner Elementary students and staff are undertaking new environmental learning opportunities which abound in the areas around the school. The staff wants to expose students to more experiential, place-based and projectbased environmental learning. In providing these opportunities, the school hopes to develop students’ leadership skills in environmental awareness and stewardship with more consistent, meaningful, hands-on outdoor learning experiences in the natural environment. Bradner students have a new outdoor classroom plus adventure play area at the school. A big part of this learning experience are class excursions to a nearby woodland and farm.

Yale Hockey Academy wins big at US tourney
Our Christmas Gift Pre-schoolers and parents in the central area of Abbotsford have a new StrongStart to attend. The District’s newest Strong Start was officially opened this month at the Sweeney Neighbourhood Centre, adjacent to Abbotsford Senior Secondary School. “Early learning is a significant priority in Abbotsford School District,” said Board Chair Cindy Schafer at the opening. “A mandate for our district’s Early Learning Department is supporting and improving the health, social, emotional and educational outcomes for early learners. One of the most effective ways we do this is by supporting and enhancing quality pre-school early learning programs, like StrongStart Centres.” The StrongStart Program helps children to be better prepared and ready for when they do arrive in Kindergarten. Parents and their preschoolers can visit, learn and interact, all overseen by a StrongStart facilitator.This is the 13th StrongStart in the district.

Yale Hockey Academy’s U-18 team won seven straight games on their way to the title of the prestigious Bauer World Invitation Tournament held in Chicago earlier this month. Entered in the Supreme U16 Elite Division (Yale’s U18 team could enter as a ‘U16’ team as most of the players are under the age of 16), the boys defeated some elite teams from around the USA, outscoring opponents 41 to 9 in the tournament. In the finals,Yale defeated HoneyBaked, the #2 ranked team in the US, (whose alumni include NHL-ers Patrick Kane, Ryan Kesler, Bobby Ryan) 4 - 3 in an intense, hard fought game. Well done, Lions!

Holiday tunes at the Clarke Proceeds benefit Mission Christmas Bureau and WRSFV Tickets are going fast for the 15th annual Christmas at the Clarke concert at the Clarke Theatre on Dec. 17. This is one of the traditions many families enjoy while contributing to the community. Proceeds from the event benefit Mission Community Services Society’s Christmas Bureau and the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley. This is a key fundraiser for both organizations. Every single dollar raised goes to these organizations as the entertainers, technicians and staff all donate their services for this evening of Christmas cheer. This year’s concert will be headlined by Mission’s Kenny Hess, who was recently inducted into the B.C. Country Music Association’s Hall of

Hess has been committed to the Christmas at the Clarke every year since it was created in 2000. He only missed the concert once when weather prevented his plane from landing in Vancouver. Other performers this year are Horizon and 1066.
Audiences have been enjoying the sounds of 1066 since 1985. Popular in the Fraser Valley and beyond, they are in high demand for appearances throughout the year. This merry band of music makers plays a broad range across the musical spectrum. And, there is always a tale or two to be told.

Christmas cactus – true or not?
Have you ever wondered why your Christmas cactus always blooms too early or too late for the Christmas season? The simple answer is that you probably don’t have a true Christmas cactus. The most popular cactus in our part of the world is a ‘Schlumbergera truncata’ (or Zygocactus truncatus). This variety is often called a “crab cactus” because of its flat sharp-toothed leaves. Large, long tubed petals can appear anytime from November to March and in many cases, it will bloom twice during this period. The colour range used to include only pink, white, orange and salmon, but extensive hybridization has led to the development of pink, scarlet, bright lavender and even yellow. Zygocactus are easy to grow and require minimal care. This cactus comes from the rainforest, so for its ultimate
performance in your home, you must treat it like a rainforest plant. Unlike traditional cacti, ‘Zygos’ love humidity. They also need very well drained soil, otherwise their roots will quickly rot. To produce a November blooming crop, commercial growers take their cuttings in March or April when the daylight hours begin to lengthen. Usually three cuttings are rooted in a small cell pack using either sand or a perlite and sand mix. They root rather easily. All three cuttings are then planted in four inch pots with very well drained soil and placed in a warm humid greenhouse to encourage fast growth. By the end of September, the plants are usually developed well enough to be sale-
able, but they must first be brought into bud and bloom. The trick here is to give them short hours of daylight and cooler temperatures. Growers can space out the blooming periods simply by controlling both the amount of daylight and the temperature. By making sure the plants have natural hours of darkness starting in mid-September and by maintaining night temperatures of 55°F (12.5°C) one crop can be brought into flower in late October. The blooming of the second crop can be delayed until November or early December by keeping the temperatures higher and by adding nighttime lighting. To get this second crop to flower, it too must be cooled

and given less daylight hours prior to the desired blooming time. It’s important to know these details because many folks who have ‘Zygos’ can’t get them to bloom. This is usually because their plants are kept year round in a very warm room and their house lights are left on late at night. The other common problem with these plants is blossom drop. It is important to remember that these cacti need not only well drained soil, but also a humid environment for the blossoms to fully develop. Don’t be afraid to mist them daily with warm water, and it really helps to place them on a saucer with gravel and water underneath. If it is the real Christmas cactus you are after, they can be hard to find. The correct name for this variety is ‘Schlumbergera bridgesii’. They only come

September after MMBC partnered with other processors and left the company with insufficient feedstock. Holman said nonprofit recycling depots on the Gulf Islands are now facing closure and layoffs because the MMBC funding covers less than a third of the real operating costs. MMBC launched in May. The industry stewardship group is now directly or indirectly in charge of curbside recycling in most of B.C. but continues to face strong local criticism. Holman and NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham are calling for a review of MMBC by B.C.’s Auditor General. Popham said agricultural operations and other businesses are being saddled with excessive fees to handle their packaging, while there’s insufficient accountability over the $100 million a year MMBC will take from businesses. E nv i ro n m e n t Minister Mary Polak said the system is a significant shift because homeowners now no longer pay the costs of recycling paper and packaging through their property taxes.

Line dance choreographer earns third in Las Vegas Susy O’Shea teaches locally and was joined by students An Abbotsford line dancing teacher finished in third place in an international dance competition in Las Vegas earlier this month. Susy O’Shea of Abbotsford has been teaching line dancing for over 10 years and regularly attends international line dance workshops, including this month’s DJD Production Line Dance Explosion in Las Vegas. Dancers from 29 countries attend the event which is hosted by international dance stars Doug and Jackie Miranda. This year was a change of pace for O’Shea, who entered two of her own choreographed dances into the Dance Explosion choreography competition. Many of her students went along with her to learn new dances

The panel of judges were made up of dance instructors from Europe, the United States, Singapore and the Netherlands. Competition results were announced Saturday in the Riviera Hotel Majestic Ballroom, with O’Shea placing third in her cat-
egory, for the dance “If I Could Be Her.” The results were met with applause from her students. As O’Shea is a newcomer to choreography, competing against veteran entrants and being placed in the top three was a huge achievement, and honor. Apart from the event being great fun, she said one of the great-
est benefits of the competition was dancing with talented and gifted instructors who offered amazing supportive feedback. Celebrations will continue with all of O’Shea students this weekend at their annual Christmas Charity fundraiser.

Passionate about food Chef Training Program May Be For You
Brenden Melhus & Matt Douglas Graduating students in the Abbotsford School District Professional Cook Program had the opportunity to show off what they learned over the past twelve months by returning to their home high schools this week to demonstrate such delectables as: eggs benedict, beef stir fry and cream puffs. The Abbotsford School District Pro-
fessional Cook Program is located at Abbotsford Senior Secondary and is taught by Red Seal Chef Instructor, Andreas Fopp. The program is offered over two semesters starting in February each year. Students in this program earn dual credit – both high school credits as well as technical and work based training through the Industry Training Authority. Students graduate from the program with their Level I Apprenticeship, the first step in a three level certification trade upon which they may earn their “Red Seal.” The program has recently gone through a change in post secondary partnership. After the Cascade School of Culinary Arts closed its doors in September, the School District’s Professional Cook Program now partners with the University of the Fraser Valley which currently offers Level II at the UFV Trades & Technology Centre Campus in Chilliwack. Top Culinary Student, Amie Peters, really put the school’s name on the map two years ago when she won Gold at the Canada Skills National Competition held at BC Place in Vancouver. Students interested in applying to the February 2015 intake, should visit the District Career Program website at www.abbotsfordcareerprograms.com or call the District Career Program Office at 604-504-4618 and fill out an application as soon as possible. There are only two seats remaining in next semester’s class.

Canadian nursing program intentional about unique focus “I knew I wanted to be in a Christian environment, as well as one where I could pursue my passion for nursing,” shares Breanne Gerber, a nursing student now in her final year. Faced with intense workloads and the pressures of this program, she along with her classmates are often seen huddled over giant medical textbooks that make biblical concordances seem small by comparison. Since 2006, Prairie Bible Institute (Three Hills, AB) has offered a Practical Nursing program incorporating Bible and theology classes as well as international experiences to places like India and Mozambique. “We take it seriously. It’s not just a vocation,” Breanne continues. “The majority of us feel that this is a call specifically to serve God and others. Whether we nurse here in Canada or globally, we recognize the open door we have to live out and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” A key component of this program is participation in
a final preceptorship where students, while under supervision, put their knowledge and skills to the test in real-world situations. Over the past five years Prairie graduates have had a 100% success rate on the national exam. “We set a very high standard and the comments of those supervising these students encourage us as we strive to deliver quality education” shares Kim Hogarth, Program Coordinator. “Just from last year’s graduating class I’ve had feedback like ‘I would gladly take on more students from this institution in the future’ and ‘it’s refreshing to work with students who are not afraid to push themselves’.” The Practical Nursing Diploma Program is offered entirely on Prairie’s campus through an innovative partnership with Bow Valley College (Calgary, AB).

Organized in conjunction with school districts from across the Fraser Valley, the forum brought together educational leaders at the local level, plus guest speakers from as far as Ontario, to examine how learning outcomes are being developed and used in both K-12 and post-secondary in the Fraser Valley and in other provinces.
“We’re looking at what can we do together to highlight ways to further student success,” explains Peter Geller, UFV viceprovost and associate vice-president academic. “The forum will provide an opportunity to explore how to work better together to enable students to see their own learning as they progress on their educational journey. “We’re building the people who are building students.” Titled “Forum on Learning Outcomes and Assessment in the Fraser Valley:
Developments and Intersections between K-12 and PostSecondary Education,” the event’s concept was created during a meeting between UFV provost Eric Davis, vice-president students Jody Gordon and local school superintendents. Abbotsford School District superintendent Kevin Godden is embracing the opportunity to lead by example. “At a time when our society is calling for talented and creative leaders, we must ensure that our K-12 and post secondary sys-

Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-

experiences with the university’s relatively new Co-Curricular Record, which recognizes students’ experiential learning and oncampus contributions outside of the classroom. “The goal is to have a shared dialogue that expands seamless transition beyond K-12,” says Geller, who notes the event creates an excellent opportunity for networking. “I hope a principal might connect with one of our faculty members, and forge relationships to aid student success for years to come.” The forum’s end goal was to identify tangible actions to be put in motion at every level of education. “You need a group of people to carry this forward, and we hope those people are going to be here.” Participating school districts include Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Fraser-Cascade, Langley, Maple RidgePitt Meadows, and Mission. “By allowing UFV to better understand where Fraser Valley schools are in terms of graduation requirements, ideally we can better match and map Grade 12 graduates competencies with UFV requirements; students can then better see how their learning progresses and maps to UFV’s program learning outcomes and Institutional Learning Outcomes.” UFV’s ILOs are designed so all graduates will be able to: Demonstrate information competency, analyze critically and imaginatively, use knowledge and skills proficiently, Initiate inquiries and develop solutions to problems c o m m u n i cate effectively, pursue self-motivated and self-reflective learning, engage in collaborative leadership, engage in respectful and professional practices and contribute regionally and globally.

ABBOTSFORD’S ACTIVE ADULTS A local monthly guide to events, resources and services for active adults
November 2014
Rob Mare, Operation Red Nose volunteer and member of the Lions Club.
A lion taking pride in his community For community volunteer Rob Mare, the choice to become involved in the designated-driver program, Operation Red Nose was influenced by a life-changing event in his adolescence “Way back when I was a teenager my older brother was a drunk driver and he got in an accident and killed one person and severely injured four more,” says Mare. “Many lives were changed that night and not for the better for anyone.” Operation Red Nose is a free service that helps keep impaired drivers off the road by driving them and their vehicle home
safely. It takes three volunteers per pickup to get everyone home safely, which is why Mare hopes for more volunteers and for more clients to use the service. Also a member of the Abbotsford Lions Club, Mare has been volunteering in Abbotsford for 22 years. He has worked on many project, activities and fundraisers to help others help themselves in the community. One involvement in particular that brings him great joy is the flower project. “Save-On-Foods at Whatcom Road donates flowers that can no
longer be sold but still have a few days of life in them, so I pick them up once a week on Thursdays and deliver them to Maplewood House - a local seniors residence and care facility,” he says. “The biggest win of all for me is seeing the smiles on the faces of the residents and staff when I deliver the flowers.” Now well into his 60s, Mare has learned a lot about himself as the years have passed and he continues to volunteer. “I have learned that you succeed more if you can help other people around you succeed,” he says. “Working together, a few
people can help a large number in small ways, or a small number in large ways, but without the backing of my wife Ellen, I could do nothing at all - she is a rock, a guiding light, a great companion, and the love of my life.” This holiday season, have a zero tolerance for drinking and driving and enlist the help of volunteers like Rob Mare to make sure everyone gets home safe to their loved ones. From Nov. 28 to Dec. 31 (Fridays, Saturdays and New Year’s Eve) call 1-877-604-NOSE and a team of three Operation Red Nose volunteers will help you get home.

“Help! I need to buy a Christmas present for an elderly senior….” Most elderly seniors will say that they don’t need anything for Christmas – Sharon Simpson and yet, we want to get something for our elders that will remind them that they are loved and cherished. After polling staff at Menno Place, one of BC’s largest seniors’ campuses (700 residents), we compiled a great list of gift ideas for your elderly loved one. We hope this helps! SOMETHING TO ENJOY Q Floral subscription – a local florist in Abbotsford, Buckets of Flowers delivers a bouquet of flowers on the first Monday of the month to one of our residents. Ensure that the flowers are unscented as most care facilities have a non-perfume policy. The cost for this lovely gift is between $25 - $50 per month. Q Chocolate or cookie subscription – a monthly delivery of delicious chocolates or cookies gives an elderly person something to offer their visitors and enables hospitality. Check with a nurse to choose the best cookie or chocolates for swallowing and allergies. www.amazingclubs.ca - $40 per month Q Interest-specific television channels – A devout baseball or hockey fan will enjoy watching their sport any time of day. Nature and travel are a wonderful way to spend time together. A favorite travel show for seniors is

Armchair Tourist. You watch a tourist spot and then guess the location. It’s a fun game to play together. If cable is provided through a PVR, you can set up recordings that will be ready for you to watch together when you visit. Check with cable provider to get the details on which channels you can purchase and the cost. Q Calendar of special dates – record all of your loved one’s family’s birthdays on the calendar and provide them with a selection of birthday, anniversary and congratulations cards. You can choose to pre-address and pre-stamp the cards as well. A week before an event, write “Send *** their birthday card today” and it will arrive just in time! Staples has personalized calendars through their online print shop starting at $4.98. Check out www.staplescopyandprint.ca Q A tabletop Christmas tree – I was invited into a seniors’ apartment to look at the amazing tabletop fibre optic Christmas tree he received as a gift from a friend. He was so excited. The tree changed colors and provided him with a constant reminder that the giver of the gift cares for him. TECHNOLOGY Q A flat screen TV – these are coming down in price quickly. An elderly person will enjoy having their own high quality television that doesn’t take up the room of an older television. A 24” LED HD TV is selling for as low as $138 on the Canadian Walmart website. Q Big button remote control – Shaw cable has a simplified remote called a Transport. Other brands to check out are Weemote and Tek Pal. Before you buy call the manufacturer or you cable provider to ensure that they will work together with the cable box. Q A tablet – believe it or not a third of seniors over 77 are online. For elderly seniors with agility in their hands, a touch-screen tablet is the easiest new technology to learn. We’ve seen people in their 90’s connect through Skype or FaceTime with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Hint: Choose a tablet that a teen in your family understands since they’ll be providing technical support! 10” tablets start at $280 through big box stores. Q Brain games online – The brain training games that are most recommended in seniors’ facilities are www.BrainHQ.positscience.com and www.Lumosity.com. These are monthly subscriptions that can be gifted to a senior for $96 per year or $84 per year respectively.
SPIRITUAL LIFE Q An MP3 or CD Bible – an interesting and dramatic version is The Listener’s Bible (www.listenersbible.com) starting at $29 for a download and $89 for a set of CDs. Various versions are available. GoBible. com has one of my favorite Bible dramas – The Bible Experience. You can also buy a hand-held portable MP3 device that comes pre-loaded with an entire audio version of The Bible starting at $79. TRANSPORTATION & SAFETY Q Taxi coupons – Many elderly seniors feel shut-in because the cost of safe transportation is expensive. Consider purchasing a month of Taxi Saver coupons for $40. This can be a one-time gift or a monthly gift. With these coupons, the elderly senior saves 50 per cent on taxi service. This may be a significant means to attend church, go shopping or see friends. (www.bctransit. com/regions/cfv/accessible/tax_saver.cfm) Q Lifeline – A Lifeline call button can be worn on a wrist or around a senior’s neck. When they push the button Lifeline will call a senior’s emergency contact. Lifeline has a product that predicts a fall and calls for help even if the senior is unable to make the call themselves - $40 per month. See www.lifeline.ca for more information. COMFORT AND LOVELY ITEMS Q Blanket or shawl – Polar fleece is a nice way to keep warm especially if it has pockets for hands and Kleenex. Knitted blankets have holes and don’t provide the same level of comfort. Don’t be tempted by electric blankets; instead, take a look at the Thermal Zone Fleece Blanket from LL Bean ($99). It has an extra warm foot-zone. Check it out online at www.llbean.com. Q Foot care service – Elderly seniors love pedicures, but often their foot care needs are more complex. Fungus, corns, bunions and cracking skin can be painful and immobilizing. Reaching feet can be difficult. A foot care nurse will cost between $25 - $50 per session. Regular foot-care service can be the gift of pain-free mobility. Q Non-skid slippers – It’s time to throw out the hand-made crocheted slippers that could be reason an elder falls. Purchase a pair of rubber-soled slippers that are comfortable and practical. Sharon Simpson is the Director of Communications and Marketing at Menno Place, a senior’s campus-of-care located in Abbotsford.

Health care professionals need to be held to the highest standards In recent local news a health care facility was shut down for poor standards of hygiene and for unsafe procedures when using acupuncture neeDr. Chris Vallee dles. All health care professionals need to be held to the highest standards as our jobs are to always do the least amount of harm with our treatments. The reality of global healthcare is that there are different standards around the world depending which type of therapy is being regulated. In rural areas of India and China a doctor maybe doing many different duties and cannot always have a wealth of sterile tools on hand to do their job, but in life and death situation you do what needs to be done. In British Colombia all regulated health care professionals have a standard for their treatments and one of the most important ones for performing acupuncture is that the acupuncturist uses one time only needles which are discarded into a sharps container after use. This would be the same for a doctor who is giving a patient and injection, a dentist who is using a needle to andesitic a tooth to be worked on, or a physiotherapist who is doing dry needling.

Labour votes to back transit referendum Jeff NAGEL Black Press
B.C.’s labour unions are pledging to support the Yes side in an expected spring referendum on new taxes for transit expansion in Metro Vancouver. A unanimous vote of delegates at the B.C. Federation of Labour convention on Monday means “labour is now fully on board” to help win the referendum, according to Nathan Woods, president of the union representing bus drivers. Unifor Local 111 and other unions representing TransLink staff had already been strongly supportive and Woods predicts labour will work in coalition with business, environment, community and other groups in the coming campaign.
Annual Open House and Salvation Army Fundraiser
“There are hundreds of thousands of workers who depend on public transit every day to get to and from their job and we will be talking directly to them about how the Mayors’ Council plan will cut commute times but also take thousands of cars off the road as transit becomes a better option,” Unifor western director Joie Warnock added. No final deal is in place yet between the province and the Mayors’ Council on exactly what new tax or levy would finance the proposed $7.5-billion expansion plan, which includes new rapid transit lines in Vancouver and Burnaby, express bus routes elsewhere and a general 25 per cent lift in bus service. Further talks are expected in early December.

equivalent) students are hosted by parents, friends, relatives and volunteers at workplaces across the country every November. The program supports career development by helping students connect school, the world of work, and their own futures. The program began in 1994 in the Greater Toronto area. Students across Canada, from Nunavut to Newfoundland now participate in the program. Abbotsford students were able to gain experience in a wide variety of work environments. Work experience placements ranged from a medical transfer service, eye surgery clinic, RCMP headquarters, Vancouver Fire Department, Abbotsford School District, Langley Memorial Hospital, various farms, and Transport Canada, among others. Students could then detail their experiences and enter to win a prize

The Abbotsford TOKTW Day is organizing by the district’s Career Programs. Research suggests that today’s students will have multiple careers over the span of their working years. To be successful, they will need to master both new technologies and complex social and organizational systems. Spending a ‘day in the life’ of a profession or workplace is a fun and fascinating way to explore the world of work, think about career options, and make informed educational decisions.

An Abbotsford farmer is once again a finalist for the BC and Yukon Outstanding Young Farmer Award. Kerry Froese, an Abbotsford chicken grower, was a finalist for the 2013 award won by Lydia Ryall of Cropthorne Farm in Delta. Now, Froese once again has a chance to be recognized for his contributions to agriculture. Born and raised on a family farm, Froese
is passionate about promoting the sustainability of Canadian agriculture to both government and the public. A second-generation farmer, Froese began managing his parents’ farm operations in 1995, applying an innovative, professional and resourceful attitude to not only his farm but all his endeavours. Froese was instrumental in founding the BC Young Farmers, an organization to inform,
educate and network young farmers. He is also the current president of the Canadian Young Farmers Forum, making him the voice of young agriculture at the Canadian Fe d e ra t i o n of Agriculture. After serving as vice-president and president of the BC Chicken Growers Association, Froese was elected to the BC Chicken Marketing Board in 2013. It is he and his wife Anita’s desire to see their four

Geothermal energy can help power the B.C. electrical grid around the province, and B.C. should assess that option before deciding to proceed with a third dam on the Peace River, an industry association says. The Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (CanGEA) issued a report Tuesday detailing its latest work on geothermal sites. In addition to hot springs and volcanic sites that could be tapped to provide power, the study examines “hot sedimentary aquifers” that have been stumbled upon by oil and gas drilling. “At the risk of offending my own mother,
this ain’t your grandma’s geothermal,” said CanGEA chair Alison Thompson at a Victoria news conference. Thompson pointed to the recent joint federal-provincial review of BC Hydro’s Site C dam project, which noted that little research into geothermal energy has been conducted in B.C. The CanGEA report estimates that deep hot water aquifers and other geothermal sources are capable of producing enough electricity to meet BC Hydro’s projected needs, including the 1,100 megawatt capacity offered by Site C. The report calls for a one-year delay on Site C, which has passed federal and provincial environmental reviews and is being consid-
ered by the B.C. cabinet. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said Tuesday he expects cabinet to make a final investment decision on BC Hydro’s $8 billion dam proposal by the end of December. He said geothermal energy has potential in B.C. because unlike wind or solar power it provides a steady source of power, but he doesn’t see it as an alternative to the dam. “It is a good resource,” Bennett said. “We do want to use it. It will be important to B.C. in the future. It’s not a way to get the 1,100 megawatts of electricity that we need now.” Bennett noted that the provincially-funded research agency

GeoScienceBC issued a request for proposals Tuesday for a study on the economic viability of geothermal resources. CanGEA is doing its own mapping, not just of promising sources but their proximity to roads, power lines and consumers. Thompson said the industry is also looking at combining solar and biomass with geothermally heated water to produce enough heat to fire boilers for electricity. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said the report shows Site C should not go ahead next year, because CanGEA projects lower cost, with power sources and jobs distributed across the province.

Help us feed local kids in need The Starfish Pack program helps kids in need by providing food for the families every weekend. There are now 12 Abbotsford schools and 170 families participating in this program. The Abbotsford Food Bank is in need of donations to help keep this program going.
Aleshia needs your help! Abbotsford Hospice is raising funds to complete the new Holmberg House facility, which will provide dignified end-of-life care and support for grieving families and friends. Holmberg House will be Abbotsford’s first adult hospice residence for those as young as 19 years old. Donations made prior to Dec. 25, 2014 will be matched by a generous Abbotsford family!
Aleshia is raising funds to be able to participate and hopefully become Miss BC 2015. Miss BC is a program which empowers women, promotes individuality and supports Cops for Cancer.

Lokombo 2.0
Mouat running back follows family legacy Paul ESAU Abbotsford News
A breakaway back. That’s how W. J. Mouat football coach Dennis Kelly describes Grade 10 Hawk Nelson Lokombo, who he says has the same explosive potential as older brother and current B.C. Lion Boseko Lokombo and 2014 graduate Maleek Irons. Breakaway backs can change games, creating “something out of nothing” and carrying teams on their capable shoulders. Nelson’s numbers this season support Kelly’s assessment. At the junior varsity level, Lokombo scored 19 touchdowns in seven games, picking up 1,436 yards in 109 carries (an average of 13 yards per carry). He also suited up for every senior team game, playing in three and scoring two touchdowns in the Hawks’ final playoff game against the Van College Fighting Irish. Nelson may not

Cascades in home action The Abbotsford Rugby Football Club (ARFC) battled it out against the Surrey Beavers Saturday at Abbotsford Exhibition Park. The men’s Div. 1 team won 31-19, while the Div. 2 squad posted a 53-22 victory. On the women’s side, Abby’s Div. 1 lost 49-5 to the Burnaby Lake Rugby Football Club, while the Div. 2 team trampled Burnaby 88-5. JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News
The University of the Fraser Valley basketball and volleyball teams wrap up their first-semester schedules with a busy slate of home games this weekend. The Cascades basketball teams host the MacEwan Griffins on Friday (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m.) and Saturday (women 5 p.m., men 7 p.m.) at the Envision Athletic Centre. The Cascades men’s hoopsters are looking to head into the Christmas break undefeated – they’re currently sporting a 6-0 record in Canada West regular season play, and they’re the conference’s last unbeaten team. This week they debuted at No. 10 in the national rankings. Heading into the weekend, the UFV women’s team and MacEwan have matching 4-2 records and sit tied for
second in the Explorers Division. Just down the hall in the Student Activity Centre North Gym, the UFV volleyball squads take on the Camosun Chargers on Friday (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m.) and Saturday (women 1 p.m., men 3 p.m.). The Chargers men are tied for second in the PacWest at 7-3 and are ranked No. 12 in the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) national rankings. The Cascades, meanwhile, are fourth in the PacWest at 6-4 and are ranked No. 14 nationally. Camosun is second in the PacWest women’s standings at 8-2 and sits seventh in the CCAA national rankings, just ahead of the Cascades, who are third in the conference at 7-3 and ranked No. 9 in the nation.

World Association of Bench Pressers and Deadlifters (WABDL) World Championships. There he competed in the Law-Fire 64-plus division for athletes with a background in law enforcement or fire-fighting. Wolbers volunteers with the Abbotsford Police Department, as well as coaches Special Olympics athletes in power-lifting. In Vegas, the senior citizen benched 380 pounds and dead-lifted 585 pounds to set a new world record (he’d set the previous record for his category, 584 pounds, in 2012). After watching video of the lift, Wolbers concluded that “it went up pretty easy,” and 67 might just be a number after all. “Best [dead-lift] I ever did was when I’d just turned 60,” he said. “I did 607 pounds at 195 pounds body weight, so that’s three times my body weight. Still a world record.” Wolbers practices his dead-lift at a gym in Mission, and benches on a rig in his house. Before he began lifting at age 42, he experimented with marathon running. Beating his own record surprised Wolbers, who hadn’t considered that he might be ready to surpass some of his older accomplishments. Now that he’s back to 585 pounds, he might try to reach 600 again and set a new personal best. “What I learned [in Vegas] was I thought maybe I’d peaked out and I wasn’t going to do any better,” he admitted, “but I think I still got some left in the tank. It kind of rejuvenated me.” Wolbers also picked up the Best Overall Lifter award in the Masters division 48-plus category. At 67, he’s yet to find his limit.

Mouat Giants relieve Ward after 9-and-16 start star
From A46
It’s rare that the first guy making contact brings him down. His feet are always going and he’s a hard worker.” With the last name of ‘Lokombo,’ Nelson has several football role models within his own family to look to. He regularly consults with Boseko, who he calls his “biggest inspiration.” “Now that the [CFL] playoffs are over, Bo came and was talking to me about having confidence in yourself and how that confidence will affect the game and have a big impact,” says Nelson. Confidence is something Lokombo has been working on this season as he prepares to make the transition to senior football. In his opinion, successful running backs have the confidence and determination to dominate the field, as well as the resilience to recover from adversity. “He’s too humble,” admits Bell, smiling, “he needs a little bit more swagger.” Nelson is surprisingly reserved for a junior player scoring touchdowns with the senior team. He’s quiet, using his few words to emphasize the encouragement he receives from his family. “My dad is really supportive of me,” he says. “Honestly, if I were to play cricket or something, he’d support me all the way. He’d become the number one cricket fan.” More comfortable on offence than defence, Nelson is looking forward to making a name for himself next year at the senior level. In the long term, he wants to follow a similar path to his brother and win a university football scholarship after high school. In the short term, he simply wants revenge on Van College, which beat the junior Hawks 63-24 in the second round of the playoffs. “My number one motivation for next year is that game,” he says, and behind his eyes, it’s easy to see that he’s already moving, ready to break.
Former Abbotsford Heat bench boss Troy Ward was relieved of his duties with the Vancouver Giants Wednesday after just 25 games in charge. The Giants sat last in the Western Conference with nine wins and 16 losses at the time of Ward’s firing. “Obviously with where we are in the
standings, it just wasn’t working with Troy,” said Giants general manager Scott Bonner in a news release. “This is the unfortunate part of sports, but we thought change was needed. We wish Troy all the best in the future.” Assistant coach Matt Erhart was named the club’s interim head coach.
The Giants played Wednesday night, hours after Ward was fired, and lost 6-1 to the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Ward coached the Heat for three years before his contract expired last spring and the American Hockey League team left town. He was promptly hired by the Giants.
The job was Ward’s first foray into Canadian major junior hockey, although he came with experience at the junior level south of the border, having served as general manager and head coach of the Dubuque Fighting Saints of the United States Hockey League in 1993.

er tips to consider: Even if a local dealer doesn’t have a specific vehicle you’re interested in buying, the local dealer may be able to obtain one from another dealer. If long distance shipping is involved, however, that cost is likely to be tacked on to your purchase price. So, get that information up front and avoid an extra cost surprise. The special clear-out offer price is from the auto manufacturer, so the discounted price at the dealer level is still a suggested one, which means it’s negotiable. So, you may be able to drive an even better bargain.

The only drawback is that you still have to come up with $52,237 plus fees and taxes. The Toyota Avalon ($37, 355) is a more affordable large luxury sedan alternative and a $4,000 cash credit (dropping its price to $33,355) makes it even more attractive. Toyota last redesigned Avalon for MY2013 and gave it a more sophisticated and sleeker look with upgraded in-cabin technology plus much-improved handling. Sport Utility: Kia is offering a $5,000 cash credit or 2.99% financing for 84 months on its smallest utility vehicle, the Sportage. A revamp for the 2014 model year included an engine upgrade, revised styling and new features. The base engine is now a direct-injected 2.4-litre 4-cylinder engine that offers more power yet consumes less fuel. The top SX trim level is powered by a 260-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and MY2014 list prices range between $22,995 to $38,295. The base LX front-drive version of the Honda
CR-V (price $25,990 – the top line Touring trim is $35,790) can be purchased with 0.99% financing for 36 months. Redesigned for MY2014 this hugely popular compact utility has been a paragon of reliability and is a benchmark for this class. The CR-V comes with a fuel-efficient 2.4-litre engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission. Trucks: The truck sector is a world onto itself when it comes to pricing, as the variety of models and options offered are staggering. Steering through the ordering process can be a challenge, but Chevrolet is offering cash credits ranging from $3,500 to $6,000 on the (redesigned last year) Silverado 1500. List prices range from $26,540 to $56,860. A $10,000 cash credit is also available on the Ram 1500 Quad Cab SXT 4x4. The base engine is a 3.6-litre V6. Optional engines are the venerable 5.7 litre Hemi V8, which comes with new FuelSaver technologies or a 3.0 litre EcoDiesel V6. MY2014 prices for the 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 range from $37,295 to $51,595. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

membership privileges that fit where they are and around their time.” The top five per cent of existing Lincoln customers are expected to move up to Black Label, according to Jelenic. And he expects about two-thirds of Black Label customers will be conquests from other luxury brands. “It’s not exclusive to our most expensive products” he added “and will be offered on the entire product line and through selected dealers in major metropolitan areas, who meet internally set criteria.” A separate Black Label salon will be added to the selected Lincoln dealers in the program, but a buyer may never actually need to go to a dealership. A Black Label liaison representative, from the dealer, will go to the customer, at their office, home, to show them the materials, themes in the package and arrange a test drive. If legal to do so in a particular jurisdiction, even the sale contract can also be finalized, without going into the dealership. In addition to the unique buying experience, an owner also receives a number of perks, such as a better warranty that includes wearable part replacement. They also get unlimited free car washes, a free once-a-year detailing and a concierge-style dealer pick-up, drop-off plus a free loaner vehicle when the vehicle goes in for service. Black Label homes, like the one I visited in Hollywood, will feature the design themes and materials used in the vehicles and more will be set up in Dallas, Miami, New York and Michigan. In Canada, the Black Label cities are expected to be Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. Lincoln also wants to link Black Label to a cultural or prominent event of some kind, within each city. Initially, Black Label will only be available on two Lincoln products, the new MKC (compact crossover) and the MKZ sedan, and it comes with about a $6,000 (US) price premium. The plan is eventually to have a Black Label edition of every Lincoln, as all-new vehicles are added to the product line. A Canadian version of Black Label (similar to the US) is expected to be launched about this time next year. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

VAN LEEUWEN Johanna (Jenny) We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Johanna (Jenny) Van Leeuwen our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to many. She passed away peacefully in her 97th year, after a brief illness. She is predeceased by her husband of 62 years, Jake, and by her sons, Jack, Co, Pat and her daughter Atie Vanderwerf. She is survived by her children Mia Gordon (Gerry), Elli Paziuk (Gene), Gerry Van Leeuwen (Gail), Nick Van Leeuwen (Lynn), Jenny Popma (Eric) and by daughters-in-law, Linda Van Leeuwen, Joanne Van Leeuwen and Linda Greentree. She will be fondly remembered by her 25 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. She was a courageous and positive woman who faced and conquered many challenges in her life. She was born in Hazerswoude, the Netherlands and immigrated, to Canada in 1951 with her husband and six young children, in order to build a better future for the growing family. She always focused on the positives in life, was strengthened by her strong faith in God and lived her life fully - enjoying music, dancing, exercising, travel and especially social time with friends and family. Her enormous personality and friendly smile will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Her funeral mass will be held at the Good Shepherd Catholic Church @ 2250 150th St in South Surrey, on Tuesday Dec. 2nd at 11:00. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society.
