The first debate is over, and voters are getting a better grasp on where Abbotsford’s mayoral hopefuls stand. Bruce Banman is opposed to the P3 proposal. “We hold water very dear to our hearts, as dear as we do our health care. The more I learn about P3 ... red flags get tossed up in front of me.” While he would not commit to any alternative plan other than more discussion, Banman is interested in former city engineer Ed Regts’ idea to increase the volume being taken from Norrish Creek, although that is seen as a temporary solution. “Right now we are paying off another huge capital expenditure. Maybe it would
easy to talk about budget cuts. “Eighty-five per cent of the budget is officers. So when he’s talking about cutting the police budget, he’s talking about laying off police officers ... I don’t think the community wants that.” There is no fat to trim, said Peary, who wondered how Banman can be so sure when he’s “never been to a police board meeting” and “never talked to the police chief.” The current mayor said he’s proud of what the city has accomplished in the past three years, noting the creation of the new industrial lands and the High Street commercial development. He said those two projects combined will create thousands of jobs. The three infrastructure projects (McCallum and Clearbrook road intersections and the airport Continued on A5

buy us the time so we could look at the other options.” By putting off the Stave Lake project, Banman said the cost could go up, but more federal funding, other than for P3, could also become available. Banman said the only reason there is still funding available for P3 projects is because it’s “the ugly duckling that nobody wants.” Public safety is another big issue for citizens. On Wednesday night, Banman indicated he wanted to cut the police budget. He has no plan to cut officers; in fact, he wants more on the streets. However, he feels there is too much bureaucracy and it needs to be trimmed. “I’d much rather have a police officer on the ground than somebody shuffling paperwork.” Incumbent Mayor George Peary said it’s

Notice of Open House
Council Agenda Packages
U District Vision The City of Abbotsford is working to create a long term vision for the area around the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), otherwise known as the University District or ‘U District’. Once complete, the U District vision will provide planned and predictable development direction for this area, and support the City’s strategic goals of growing UFV and attracting increased commercial and industrial investment in the City. The U District vision has been developed through an extensive public consultation process, including discussions with property owners in the area and stakeholder workshops. The Âżrst public open house was held on May 11th, 2011 to introduce the vision development process and receive input on what the future vision of the U District should be. Since then staff have been working to develop a future vision for the U District based on the consultation process to date, and we want to share this draft vision with you. The City of Abbotsford invites you to a public open house to review and provide feedback on the draft results of the U District visioning process. The open house will be held on November 8th, 2011, between 4:30 and 6:30 pm, at the University of the Fraser Valley in room B121, 33844 King Road, Abbotsford, BC. Once this public consultation process is complete, staff will develop a U District vision document to present to City Council. More information can be found on the U District website at www.udistrict.ca/ If you have additional questions, please contact Economic Development and Planning Services staff: Carl Johannsen, Acting General Manager at 604-851-4178, cjohannsen@abbotsford.ca, or Kari Dow, Planner at 604-864-5539, kdow@abbotsford.ca.
Complete Council agenda packages are available on the City’s website at http://www.abbotsford.ca/mayorcouncil. htm. The packages are available by 4:30 p.m. the Friday preceding Monday’s meeting.

Thank you for your patience in the last few weeks as the City has moved to a bi-monthly billing system for water and sewer utilities. Our community has taken a huge step into the forefront of water conservation with the introduction of bi-monthly water bills based on tiered water rates. Connecting increased water usage to higher rates and communicating usage through bi-monthly bills is key to ensuring the 20% conservation goal is met to meet our water needs over the next ďŹ ve years. Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions we’ve received over the last few weeks.
Are these bills an increase to my taxes? No, the water and sewer use previously billed on your taxes is now billed bi-monthly. Your annual taxes will no longer have a water and sewer charge.
Can I pay electronically? Utility bills can be paid via the internet or through the telephone banking service offered by your ďŹ nancial institution. Please update your system with the “ACCT NUMBERâ€? as shown on your bill and use the Abbotsford Taxes payee option. Your utility account number is different from your tax account number. The City also offers an auto debit program which will automatically deduct the amount of your bill from your bank account.
Can I get details on my usage? Yes, Engineering staff can be reached at 604-864-5511 and can review your hourly
usage with you either in person or on the phone. Charts and graphs of usage are available.
How to read your Bi-monthly Utility Bill Your utility account number. Use this number to pay this bill through online or telephone banking and when speaking to City of Abbotsford staff.

Can you tell if I have a leak? Staff can detect large leaks; however, intermittent leaks such as a defective toilet valve are sometimes difďŹ cult to detect. Please contact staff to review your usage if you have questions.

The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is aiming to shut down all marijuana grow operations in the city with the launch of a new project. The Marijuana Enforcement Project (MEP) was announced Thursday to focus more attention on an issue that police say is connected to other crimes and creates a public safety risk. Const. Ian MacDonald said grow-ops are the “cornerstone and cash cows” of gangs and organized crime. “There isn’t a gang that deals in marijuana that doesn’t deal in other drugs,” he said. Gangs set up grow-ops as an easy source of cash to grow their business and expand into bigger moneymakers, including weapons and harder drugs such as cocaine and heroin. MacDonald said growops bring disruption and potential risks – including grow rips and fire – to the neighbourhoods where they set up. However, the former system of investigating them wasn’t the most efficient, he said. Patrol officers often receive information about suspected grow-

and obtain the details all over again, creating a delay in the process. The MEP now allows any patrol officer who receives information about a suspected grow-op to do their own investigation. A

member of the drug squad has been assigned to assist these officers with the process, such as obtaining search warrants. This means more officers can handle these files and the entire procedure is sped up, MacDonald said. He said it’s difficult to assess the current extent of the problem, saying it’s a myth that police have a huge list of homes to investigate. “We’re not being inundated with calls ... about grow-ops.” He said there could be two reasons for this: either the public is not reporting them as frequently as in the past or there aren’t as many because of police initiatives to make Abbotsford a lousy place for gangs to do business. It’s hoped the announcement of the MEP will encourage more residents to report suspicious activity. “We’re not expecting that every call we get is going to take down a drug kingpin, but we want to make their neighbourhood safer,” MacDonald said. To report a crime, contact the APD at 604-859-5225, visit the front counter at 2838 Justice Way, go online at abbypd.ca or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Mayoralty candidates faced a crowd of about 350 on Wednesday night at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium.
Water, crime among mayoralty debate topics Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
The future of Abbotsford’s water supply took centre stage on Wednesday as the five mayoralty candidates faced the electorate during an all-candidates meeting at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium. Incumbent Mayor George Peary took plenty of heat from the four challengers, all of whom have stated their opposition to the city’s plan to create a new water supply at Stave Lake as a public-private
partnership. “We have examined the alternatives ... and come up with what we believe is the most economical, and from all the studies we’ve done this is the best route to go,” said Peary. He said the City of Abbotsford will maintain ownership of the water. Other candidates challenged the Stave decision. “This is not a decision we should rush into lightly, it’s not something we should
rush into at all,” said Bruce Banman. He said there has not been enough “educated debate” on the project. He also commented on the city’s information campaign. “It’s appropriate for me to tell you what my opinion is, as the city has done. It is not appropriate for me to scare the tar out of you so that you do what I say...” He said voters are cynical because they were “taken down this garden path”
renovations) were completed with twothirds funding from the provincial and federal governments. Peary believes it’s easy to criticize, when you have never had to do the job. “They’ve (other candidates) never been involved in local politics and while they seem to have lots of ideas, they’re long on theories, precious short on practice ... They all seem to have this idea that somehow the mayor is omnipotent. The mayor is, as I keep reminding them, one vote at a table of nine.” Meghann Coughlan felt the all-candidates meeting was a “fluff fest,” saying questions remained unanswered or avoided. She wanted to hear some hard answers from her fellow candidates regarding the issues. But she admits she will have her own learning curve if she becomes mayor. “I don’t know what to expect when I get in there ... my goal is to tear everything apart and just inspect everything,” she said. If the water referendum fails and
Coughlan becomes mayor, she plans to take a closer look at the other proposals besides the P3 option. “Not just me, because I’m not an engineer. I don’t know what they mean ... those proposals would probably look like Greek to me,” she said. Affordable housing is another issue high on Coughlan’s to-do list. “I realize I can’t take municipal funds and spend them on things that I’m talking about. I’m not naive that way.” But she does think the city could take a look at what land it owns and what could be donated for that type of project. Travis Daleman, the youngest candidate for the mayor’s chair, said the water issue isn’t his primary concern. “It is the biggest issue financially right now and everyone is focusing on it,” he said, but other areas are equally important. “I believe we have to be looking at taxpayer waste.” Risky projects like Plan A need to be avoided in the future, says Daleman, with the focus placed on infrastructure.

before. Banman said the cost difference between a P3 and a publicly run facility would be about $2 million a year. “If I remember correctly we subsidized a hockey team for $1.4 million ... what’s more important – hockey or water?” Banman also took issue with a letter he said the city sent out to people who receive water from the Clearbrook Waterworks District. “It basically in a nutshell Continued on A7

Transit and even a rapid rail system are high on his list. Daleman said if the water referendum passes, the will of the people has to be honoured, but he prefers the conservation approach and promotion of rain catchments. Gerda Peachey believes if the referendum fails, there’s “no problem.” “I and the other councillors would say to the staff, ‘OK, now we have to get real’ ... now let’s do what we’ve always done.” She said the city has to approach it like it’s their own business, with no need to involve a private partner. She would move ahead at a steady pace and, in the meantime, enforce conservation. One of her major concerns is preventing any expansion of the Tradex facility. “We do not know where the economy is going. We cannot keep saying ‘let’s dig the hole deeper.’ That is madness.” She has also voiced her opposition to the annual Taboo Sex Show held at Tradex. The enforcement of bylaws, or lack of them, is another major concern for Peachey.

abuse programs might be a step in the right direction. “We have to get in, rip everything down to the bones, and figure out where we are making mistakes,” she said. Banman said the police have done a good job, but do account for 47 per cent of the budget. “That budget, like all budgets, has to have a good hard look at it to find ways that we can make that dollar stretch even farther than it is.” Peary said the police have made “dramatic strides” in terms of reducing crime. He also spoke to the chief of police and asked if any of the other mayoralty candidates had contacted him. None of them had. “One would think the police and their role in the community is really an important thing for all candidates to be aware of ... I’m proud of the Abbotsford Police Department. They do amazing work,” said Peary. Questions, 32 in all, were taken from the audience and ranged in topic from taxation to transportation, high density to secondary suites.

says, ‘Hey, you should vote for P3 because you don’t have to pay for it, but you get all the benefits’ ... this is just outrageous to me.” People who are on well water, or are part of the Clearbrook waterworks system (which has about 1,800 customers) are allowed to vote in the referendum, even though they do not pay city water rates. Peary said “the reality” is the letter merely invited people to a public information meeting. “If they vote in favour of this, what it means is the City of Abbotsford won’t be drawing water out of the aquifer and drawing down the wells from the Clearbrook waterworks. So it makes some sense for them to support this.” Other mayoralty candidates questioned the motives of big business and asked why the city hadn’t chosen another route. “No international company is going to want this job if it’s just a little bit of profit,” added Gerda Peachy.
“If we looked at alternative methods like some sort of rain catchment, where we are harnessing the water we are getting, because Abbotsford is the fourth wettest city in all of Canada. Why are we running out of water?” asked Travis Daleman. But Peary said funding is available now and the city should take advantage. “$65 million from the federal government. If we turn down Stave Lake, we lose that, it’s just that simple. The public will decide ... and that’s how it should be.” Public safety was another hot topic as candidates differed on how effective the Abbotsford Police are using their budget to fight crime. Meghann Coughlan told the crowd that crime prevention is a key issue. “It’s nice that we aren’t the murder capital anymore, but we’ve had 12 robberies since September. I think we really need to look at how you prevent that from happening.” She suggested back-to-work or

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
City issues
Do you intend to vote in the upcoming civic election?
The real issue here is whether or not people will be bothered to research the P3 proposal and get out and vote on it. 4wallz
To answer, go to abbynews.com
I hate the new roundabouts they have put in on McCallum, and Clearbrook roads which also cause congestion. The new bridges could have been put up without them. This was just a waste of public funds. And the art in the middle of the roundabouts was also a waste of money. I was also really upset with the outcome of the referendum with regard to Plan A which was widely advertised as being advantageous but has turned out to be just another reason to have to hike our taxes. airlink
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Should your child receive a complete report card, despite teacher job action? 219 RESPONDED:
They are so desperate that George Peary sent out a letter to all the people being served by Clearbrook Waterworks asking them to vote for P3 even though there is no direct benefit to them. Major Chicken
YES: 78% NO: 22%
Public trust in the depths of the water issue Andrew
Holota
On Point Prominent in the debate on the City of Abbotsford’s proposed Stave Lake public-private water supply project, is the foreboding concept of “giving up control of our water...” It invokes visions of foreign fat-cats holding us to ransom with hyperinflated rates generating vast profits. It’s a pet bogeyman for the Canadian Union of Public Employees, among other groups. The province, and Ottawa, have jurisdiction over water resources. Opinions differ obviously, but the prevailing political and legal view is that unless water is being exported and sold, international trade laws have no effect. And that’s just not on the table here. The rights to Stave Lake water in a P3 deal remain in the public domain. Same with the treatment plant
infrastructure and assets. As with the Abbotsford hospital – also a P3 project – the hard assets remain public property. In that example, it’s the service contract that has changed corporate hands several times. And the companies that hold the contract to sweep the hospital floors are not now dictating public health care, telling you when you can have your hip surgery. There’s no doubt, however, that the contract is critical. It details the terms of the agreement, and spells out the consequences of a private operator failing to meet standards of delivery and quality. Usually, those penalties are financial – and substantial – which is why P3 projects are considered by some to offer more incentive for performance from a private partner than a public system. And on that note, there’s no guarantee that a publicly operated water supply is immune to human error, incompetence or corruption. Canada’s worst water disaster in Walkerton, Ontario, which killed seven people, involved a public utility. Interestingly, that city’s water supply
now involves a private sector arrangement. But for the moment, let’s put the private control goblin back in the closet, and address the other ghoul in the room. Public trust.
Many taxpayers have been spooked by Plan A. That’s a far more tangible challenge for city hall as it endeavours to sell the Stave Lake plan, because many taxpayers have been spooked by Plan A. Several years ago, ostensibly aware of the approaching need for a new water supply, the council of the day nevertheless embarked upon an ambitious project to provide Abbotsford with a new arts centre, and sports and entertainment arena. The undertaking ultimately climbed to $115 million. Then, in an effort to
fill its new facility, the city signed a 10-year deal with an AHL hockey club, guaranteeing them break-even revenue. Since 2009, the arena and the Heat team have cost taxpayers about $6 million. In the clear light of hindsight, you could question city hall priorities and business acumen. You could also question the way those decisions were communicated. You could wonder the same in terms of how the city consulted the public in terms of water supply options. Voters now face an all-or-none water referendum. If the latter passes, can the City of Abbotsford negotiate a watertight (no pun intended) water supply contract that will fully protect all aspects of public interest? If the referendum fails, what then? Ultimately, Abbotsford must have a new water supply. What’s the cost of delaying the Stave Lake project? What’s the cost of slowing growth? And who’s to steer us through these times? It’s one thing to climb on the popular “no” bandwagon. It’s quite another to lead the parade.

letters Dangerous drug In the Oct. 25 edition, Greg Tyler writes “Pot smokers are not a drain on our healthcare system,” “marijuana is not addictive,” “it is possible to consume marijuana daily and live a normal life with no side effects.” These statements are not factual, they appear to be “wistful” thinking. George Institute of New Zealand reached a case-controlled conclusion in 2005 which reads in part: “Habitual marijuana use is associated with a 10-fold increase in the risk of car crash injury.” The National Survey of Drug Abuse and Health showed that drug use while driving is not uncommon. The meta-analysis showed 28 per cent of fatally injured drivers tested positive for drugs other than alcohol, with marijuana the most popular choice. The Good Drugs Guide reports “A person who is liv-
ing with an addiction to marijuana is unable to stop using it, even when they want to. The urge to use is simply too strong. Couple the dependence on the drug with the fact that it is cheap and relatively easy to get and you will see why so many people become addicted.” Eric Myrholm

Voting no
I will be voting against the development of a Stave Lake water supply and here is why: More water means more development. This benefits the developers. It does not benefit residents. Do you want Abbotsford to become like Surrey, as appears to be their goal? If you like that vision of ugly, endless sprawl, then vote yes to spend nearly $300 million. If you’d rather keep a little country in the city, then vote no. Tom Jensen

Taking steps with arthritis Melissa WELSH
Abbotsford News
Sitting at the kitchen table, Penny Rickaby gently clasps her coffee cup. The tips of her fingers stick out from the wrist braces she wears. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become a second skin. Her dogs Maggie and Roxy jump up around her feet and she shoos them out the door, waving her hand. She stops and winces from the pain. Her hands, like her feet, ankles and back, are riddled with rheumatoid arthritis. She wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to run at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jingle Bell Walk and Run for Arthritis on Nov. 20. But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there, shuffling around Mill Lake.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important event for Rickaby, 63, who has been plagued with the condition since her early 30s. From the time she first displayed symptoms up until her 50s, Rickabyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illness went undiagnosed. The doctors even thought that she might have cancer. Tumours developed from the arthritis, wrapping around her ribcage, covering her chest and surrounding internal organs. Rickaby has since had a bilateral mastectomy and hysterectomy to relieve the discomfort. The scars from her surgeries remain hidden, just as the arthritis is hidden.

“If it was a visible disability or deformity, you would be more acknowledged,” Rickaby said, who added that she has also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. When her three children were between the ages of 10 and 12, she was bound to a hospital bed within her home, because she couldn’t walk. Today, the 11 pills she takes daily allow her to move around the house she shares with her companion. She also takes injections of anti-inflammatories

Unable to work, Rickaby relies on the $700 per month that she receives from her ex-husband’s pension plan. It is the sheer will to get up and continue that has her moving forward. Rickaby’s eldest grandchild was just recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. The condition

Wake Up the Vote

Accepting New Patients
Chamber offers free cup of coffee on election day The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce launched its Wake Up the Vote campaign last week. The chamber is offering a free cup of coffee on election day (Nov. 19) to all its member businesses and every employee, in an attempt to get the business community engaged in the outcome of the local civic election. “Business people often feel the most immediate and costly aspects of local government decisions,” said Abbotsford Chamber president Patrick Giesbrecht. “It’s in every local business’ best interest to have a say in deciding who will be making those decisions.” While the chamber has publicly taken stands on many election issues, including announcing its support of the controversial Stave Lake water project, Giesbrecht stresses Wake Up the Vote is not about endorsing candidates or political positions, but rather aimed at making the local business community an engaged stakeholder in local government. The chamber is planning to give away up to 6,000 certificates for free coffee to its members and employees. They will be accepted on election day at four local coffee houses: Go Go Beans, La Casa Coffee, Legal Grounds Coffeehouse and the Wired Monk at Parallel Marketplace. Giesbrecht points out that in the 2008 Abbotsford municipal election, the difference between the last four councillors elected and the next four individuals who failed to get a seat on city council was approximately 4,200 votes.

Book Review â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shadow Catalystâ&#x20AC;? by Brayden Hirsch In the book trade, few tasks cause more groans than the prospect of reading works of ďŹ ction by teenage writers. Generally the writing is painful to churn through and it is only the last, tiny shred of human decency that stops one from being too blunt when reviewing it. Happily, that is not the case here. Brayden Hirschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shadow Catalystâ&#x20AC;? is a collection of ďŹ ve Paranormal tales set in the PaciďŹ c Northwest of the US. Each one resonantes with the same eerie atmospherics as the original Rod Serling episodes of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twilight Zoneâ&#x20AC;?. Each combines standard mystery/thriller plot lines with surreal paranormal twists. This genre cross-over would challenge any author but Hirsch makes it work and the total affect is compelling.
only quibble is I would like to see more characters that are closer to his age. It is difďŹ cult for a 15 year old writer to remain pitch-perfect when presenting a world of grown-ups. Younger characters would let him write with a more authentic voice. This author shows genuine talent. Reading this collection of short stories made me wonder what Dean Koontz or Stephen King was writing at this age. Would they have been any better? Brayden Hirsch attends Abby Christian Secondary School. He has completed his second novel and is currently working on his third book.

Repeal hits builders Jeff NAGEL Black Press
The province is under pressure to quickly neutralize the impact of the harmonized sales tax on new home buyers in order to save thousands of jobs at risk in the construction industry. The HST is to be eliminated no later than April of 2013, but until then it continues to add seven per cent to the value of new homes over $525,000. The Urban Development Institute wants the province to immediately exempt all new homes from the provincial tax portion so the HST hit is no longer an issue for prospective home buyers who may delay purchases. “We are very concerned that there’s going to be a significant reduction in jobs for the next year,” executive director Maureen
Enser said. “They’re going to remove the HST eventually so why not make people whole today?” Enser estimated at least 2,000 planned home starts have now been shelved since the HST referendum result and many more are likely. Each unit typically represents up to four industry jobs. Even if the province doesn’t expand the rebate to all new homes, she said, business would be better if developers at least knew for certain the rules in the months ahead and the timing of the switch from the 12 per cent HST back to a five per cent GST on new home sales. Pre-sale agreements with buyers are critical to financing many developments but Enser said those contracts are nearly impossible to sign when tax implications are uncertain.

How to choose the Right Electrician if you have any of these 6 problems and you want them fixed today! Unlike the plumbers I know, electricians rarely get emergency calls. Our equivalent of a flood in the basement is a fire in the attic . . . and you don’t call us for that. You call 911. So you’re probably not reading this because you’ve got an electrical emergency. Instead, you have an electrical problem like one of these . . .
1. “My good friend (or husband) tried to do it.” My apologies to the guys reading this, but it’s true. A big part of our business is finishing up the electrical projects you start . . . from outlets to ceiling fans. And that’s okay, although it would be easier and probably cheaper if you’d call us first. We have the tools, experience and know-how to do the job right, start to finish. Call us for proven professional electrical expertise.
2. “I need a ceiling fan or chandelier installed.” We install lighting fixtures, fans, outlets, dimmers and more. Our work is guaranteed to meet city codes, and we use only copper wiring (no aluminum). Want to know why we use only copper wiring? Call us.
4. “I’ve got an ugly internet or cable TV wiring stapled to my baseboards.” Let us do the job right. Snaking wire through walls is an art, a science, a skill . . . and our specialty. It’s also something few electricians, cable companies or internet providers like to do. But you’re in luck when you call us. We’re World Champions at snaking wire without knocking holes in your walls.
5. “Smells like something’s burning” Overheated appliances and electrical circuits are a problem you don’t want to ignore. A call to us now couldd save you a call to 911 later.
6. “The ‘mystery switch’.”
3. “I have a breaker that doesn’t stay reset.”
Value. Packed. Travel.
If your breaker keeps tripping, you don’t have the equivalent of a flooded basement, yet. But, you do have a potentially dangerous problem involving the electrical circuits in your home. Don’t ignore it. Call us!
We love getting this call. If you’ve got a switch that you’ve never been able to link to an outlet or circuit, call us to solve the mystery.
Your Satisfaction Guaranteed . . . 111%

The province has introduced legislation to raise gas taxes two cents a litre in Metro Vancouver to help fund TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion plan and build the Evergreen Line. The increase, requested this month by a majority vote of Metro mayors, would take effect next April and is expected to quickly pass with the support of the NDP. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said the province will then formalize its agreement with TransLink, issue a request for proposals for the Evergreen Line to three pre-qualified bidders and get shovels in the ground â&#x20AC;&#x153;as quickly as possible.â&#x20AC;? He was reluctant to promise a construction start by year-end but vowed it will be soon. The long-stalled $1.4-billion SkyTrain extension to Coquitlam was once sidelined by a decision to build the Canada Line first, and had been derailed in recent years by a deadlock with the province on how to fund TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share. Lekstrom and other mayors agreed earlier this summer to raise the gas tax and work together to find new funding sources over the next year. He repeated that pledge and said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very aware Metro mayors oppose any scenario that would increase property taxes, which is the backup mechanism if talks with Victoria fail to yield new sources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an optimist,â&#x20AC;? Lekstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to find a solution thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to work for everyone.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical, he said, because TransLink needs a long-term funding solution so it can build more infrastructure beyond whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contemplated in the new Moving Forward plan.

Crafts at the hall Local building hosts Christmas event to support new programs Melissa WELSH Abbotsford News
residents. Most recently, hall staff have been focussed on creating a more multi-use facility for children and families, buying new sports equipment for kids fun fair games. But before the programs can start, the hall needs a face-lift, which will be funded by the money raised at the event. The sale happens Saturday, Nov. 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and will include an array of Christmas gift ideas, collectibles, jewelry, and other crafts. Call Lynn Wright at 604-8524278 for more information.
A historic hall is hosting a craft and market sale Nov. 12, in order to raise funds for continuous projects and new cultural exhibits. Dating back to 1950, the Straiton Community Hall has been a constant fixture for those in the surrounding community, some of whom have had families living there for nearly 100 years. The wood used to build the arch-shaped framing for Straiton Hall, 4698 Upper Sumas Mtn Rd., was cut at a mill operated by Charlie and Cliff MacKenzie in the winter of 1950. The community hall would not be completed until 1958. The sale is in support of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, with proceeds going towards a showcase that will include the stories of families past and present from Straiton. But it is also in celebration of new development planned for the Contributed photo Sumas Mountain area, and how that will offer A builder, Charlie Mathers, with a load of logs used new opportunities for for Straiton Community Hall.

Heat host Barons Considering that the Abbotsford Heat will log more travel miles than any other AHL team this season, it’s a good thing they are proving to be road warriors. If they can straighten out their home record, this will be a dangerous team. The Heat now own a tidy road record of 5-1-0-0, and a record of 7-3-0-0 overall. The Heat were on a three-game winning streak as they returned to home ice Thursday against Oklahoma City. Results were not available by press time. It was the first in a two-game set against the Barons, the Edmonton Oilers affiliate, as they meet again on Saturday night at Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre at 7 p.m. Tuesday night the Heat needed overtime to beat the Hamilton Bulldogs, the Montreal Canadiens affiliate, 3-2 at Copps Coliseum.Joe Piskula’s shot appeared to hit Jon Rheault before bouncing in and winning the game in OT. Greg Nemisz scored his third of the season, set up by captain Quintin Laing. Jon Rheault roofed his third of the campaign on the power play, after Krys Kolanos, and Guillaume Desbiens set him up.

The Bateman Timberwolves junior varsity football squad beat Abbotsford Collegiate 48-0 on Wednesday, for their third shutout of the season. The Timberwolves were up 21-0 after the first quarter on two rushing touchdowns from Ben Cummings and a 14-yard pass from quarterback Tanner Friesen to Mackenzie Johnson. The second quarter had Cummings rushing 38 yards for his third touchdown, and Friesen ran in for a three-yard touchdown to end the half with the T-wolves up 34-0. Austen Zacher and Brad Lewis had TDs in the second half. Fumble recoveries came from Chris Ward, Garrat Carruthers, Kyle Douglas and Kole Lochbaum. Daniel Mills had an interception. Bateman ends league play with a 6-1 record and second place in the Eastern Conference. They are now into playoff action. They are up against Hugh Boyd of Richmond, who finished third in the Western Conference, next week.

When you are six feet and 200 pounds, it is hard to be in someone’s shadow, but that could easily be the case for Spencer Schmidt. The standout striker for the Trinity Western Spartans men’s soccer team, his teammates will look to Schmidt for offence as they take on the UBC Thunderbirds on Saturday in the Canada West Final Four tournament in Victoria. The problem is his little sister, who casts a large shadow. Sophie, 23, has represented Canada 68 times and plays professionally in the U.S.-based Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) league. But while there could be some sibling rivalry in such a situation, the elder Schmidt sees it a different way. “I know I taught her everything she knows anyways,” he said with a laugh. The siblings, and their younger brother, grew up around the game in Paraguay. And when the family moved to Canada – Schmidt was eight or nine – the passion for the sport remained. He joined the rep program with the Abbotsford Soccer Association. He advanced to the Metro level, then earned a university scholarship. Schmidt led the Spartans with seven goals in 14 Canada West conference games, which tied him for second in scoring in the eight-team conference. He added two assists, and nine

then transferred to the University of the Fraser Valley, where he played the 2007 season with the Cascades, scoring eight goals in 15 games. This was followed by a two-year hiatus from the game, at least at the university level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I wanted to do academically,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to take a break and step back and figure out what I wanted to do.â&#x20AC;? Eventually deciding he would study business, and with two years of eligibility remaining, Schmidt went to TWU and the Spartans. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what to expect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is always a little bit different when you come back after a couple of years,â&#x20AC;? he said, especially at such a competitive level like the CIS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are older and you have had a couple of years to figure things out, so you are a little bit more motivated, a little bit more focused and you know how to manage your time a little bit better.â&#x20AC;? It is also different coming back as a 25-year-old compared to players who may just be fresh out of high school. While teammates go back to their dorm rooms or wherever they live, Schmidt goes home to his wife of 15 months, Emily. But the transition has been seamless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has fit right in,â&#x20AC;? said Rohla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And he loves being around the team, being in the action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream.â&#x20AC;?

Hadwin looks to finish strong Adam Hadwin is looking to cap a strong year on the Canadian Tour as he defends his title at the Desert Dunes Classic, the final event on the CanTour, which is being held in Palm Springs, Cal. from Nov. 3 to 6. The 23-year-old Abbotsford native has been the story of the year in Canadian golf. Playing in just five events on the PGA Tour, the two-time Canadian Tour winner made all five cuts, and earned $440,752. That was enough to earn him conditional status on the Nationwide Tour for 2012. “Having some Nationwide Tour status is a huge help, and gives me another chance to prove myself at the next level,” he said. Hadwin’s goal for the 2012 season, however, is to play on the PGA Tour. He recently earned a bypass into the final stage of the PGA Tour Qualifying School. Hadwin had expected to take part in the second stage next month, where he would have needed to qualify for the final stage. The direct step to final stage Nov. 30-Dec. 5 in La Quinta, Calif., takes a big grind out of the process of earning his tour card. The top 25 from the final stage of Q School will earn full-time status on the PGA Tour. He is a perfect sixfor-six in cuts made on the PGA Tour, dating back to his debut on the big tour in 2010 at the RBC Canadian Open. Since then, Hadwin has amassed two top 10s and three top-40 showings, accounting for just over $460,000 in earnings. This week Hadwin is out to defend his title at Desert Dunes. “Last year’s win was pretty special for me, seeing as how it was my first win on a recognized tour, and it definitely played a role in my progress this year,” he said. – With files from the CanTour media centre

Angelo Rea B.Th., M.T.S.
Area Manager DIGNITY FUNERAL HOMES It was a Tuesday night, in January and I went to see Pat. I was tired. But my father needed to see his daughter. He entered her home and he saw her lying down. I never heard a father weep for his child as I did that night. My father just burst into to tears and expressed his love to his dying daughter. The reality now became clear to my father. He knew that his daughter has come to the end of her life. There was nothing that he could do. We prayed that God would grant us one miracle. That Pat would be taken from us and transformed into a new life. Free from cancer, free from pain and suffering, and free from a physical body that breaks down. My father came to the point of acceptance. When we left Pat’s place my father was “painfully” content. He was able to have a conversation with us about her final stages. Pat went through an incredible journey. Her battle with cancer was a two year fight. Being terminally ill brings on a
new dynamic to a family. It was an experience for all of us who went through it. Life did change for my dad and my family. It certainly has made us stronger. My father misses his daughter. In his mind she was not to die before him. He was to go first. That’s the nature of things. Pat died on the following Saturday. We had a few more visits with her before she died. At the funeral, I knew that this was going to be a new chapter in my family’s life and I knew I had to be there for them. It took my father a while to come to peace with Pat’s death. The first year was not good for him. He misses Pat’s visits and Pat being a part of our family gatherings. There is a dynamic to this story. It is a relationship between a father and his child. Denial brings pain and suffering. Acceptance begins the process of healing. Once he came to accept her death he began his journey through grief. This journey was not an easy process.
