Committed to the Fraser Valley

By the numbers In his report to council earlier this year, Gordon Ferguson, the manager of bylaw enforcement, reported the following: T Abbotsford’s bylaw enforcement officers created 3,211 general investigation files and 533 Good Neighbour Project files in 2010. T 1,223 were nuisance complaints, including dumping trash, strange odours and squatters. Other files include 519 parking violations, 458 zoning infractions and 95 noise complaints. T The 533 Good Neighbour Project files fell into four categories – 184 unsightly yards, 137 zoning violations, 130 parking violations and 82 garbage build up. The Good Neighbour Project began in 2010 with a focus on cleaning up untidy yards. More than 3,700 files were created, but not every incident required ticketing. T Bylaw officers issued 1,703 parking tickets and 465 tickets for various other offences. An additional 658 parking tickets were issued in downtown Abbotsford through the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association’s ambassador. T Forty-seven safety inspections were performed in 2010, and 45 of the homes inspected were in violation (43 marijuana grow-ops and two meth labs) of the city’s Controlled Substance Property Bylaw. T Approximately $128,000 in ticket fines were collected in 2010, about 25 per cent of the total expenses. However, fees collected under the Controlled Substance Property Bylaw, which is separate from general ticketing, reached $250,000, plus $33,000 in fines. The cost of that program was $252,000. Also, 15 nuisance properties (derelict homes) were torn down by the city in 2010.

$1M donation for Canuck Place Variety long-time supporter of children’s hospice

Variety–The Children’s Charity has donated $1 million to the construction of a second Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. “Variety has been a valued partner, supporter and friend of Canuck Place since the opening of our Shaughnessy house 16 years ago,” said Filomena Nalewajek, CEO of Canuck Place. “As we embark on the new phase in our history, we are grateful for Variety’s ongoing support of our vision to provide comfort and expert care to all of BC’s children and families in need.” Barbie Hislop, executive director of Variety, said “Variety was there for Canuck Place at the very beginning and has con-

tinued to support them throughout the years.” Hislop presented Nalewajek with the gift at Variety’s Top Hats donor recognition event Aug. 24 in Abbotsford. Currently, 46 per cent of families served by Canuck Place reside in the Fraser Health Region. To extend its reach to those families in need, Canuck Place is building a second children’s hospice housed within a Campus of Care located on a two-acre property in Abbotsford. With 10 beds and five family suites, the new 30,000-squarefoot hospice will double Canuck Place’s current capacity to better meet the growing need for pediatric palliative care services across the province.

aw cases avoidable the file will remain open until it comes down. She’ll have to keep checking. Stop two is a new file – a long grass complaint. It doesn’t take long to confirm the complaint is justified. The grass and the dandelions are over 10 inches high – not a good look for a residential neighbourhood. As with most complaints, there’s a simple reason. Harknett discovers the owners are away and the children are being watched by their grandfather. She talks briefly with the man and by the time she drives away, one of the kids is already pushing a lawn mower towards the yard. “Neighbours just don’t talk to each other anymore,” she says, adding the issue could have

Teen’s death caused by fall

Kevin MILLS

NewsBytes BORDER JUMPER CAUGHT A border-jumper trying to escape the U.S. Border Patrol was found, by an Abbotsford Police canine unit, hiding in a Gladwin Road blueberry bush. The incident started at about 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday night, when Abbotsford Police were asked to assist U.S. Border Patrol. According to Const. Ian MacDonald, two individuals were stopped carrying a duffel bag on the U.S. side of the border, directly south of Gladwin Road in Abbotsford. The duffel bag was found to contain a handgun. One of the men was handcuffed, but before the second man could be taken into custody he pushed free of the police officer detaining him, and ran north into Canada. When APD got the call, they deployed regular patrol officers, the Integrated Border Enforcement Team, members of the Municipal Integrated Emergency Response Team and a canine unit. “We sent the troops,” said MacDonald, adding that U.S. authorities with a helicopter also searched. The dog team found the suspect in a farmer’s field in the 2200 block of Gladwin Road, about a mile north of where he crossed the border. A 35-yearold Mexican man was taken into Abbotsford Police custody. He will be turned over to the Canada Border Services Agency.

Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Police have concluded that the body found on Wednesday morning is that of a 15-year-old male who fell to his death. He was discovered by a cyclist at 5:30 a.m. near a stairwell across from the bus loop in the parking lot of the Sevenoaks Shopping Centre. Originally thought to be in his 20s or 30s, the teen was identified by police, who are not releasing his name at this point. Police have contacted the family and wish “to extend condolences to them and all of the many friends of this young man. We will not be releasing his name at this time in order to allow for those closest to him to have time to deal with this tragedy.” A medical examination has determined that the cause of death was a fall. When first discovered, Const. Ian MacDonald said police administered chest compressions and first aid, but “it was apparent that the person was deceased.” The body was located by the Bourquin Crescent bus loop in the mall parking lot, close to a small stairwell. If anyone has any information, contact the Abbotsford Police at 604-859-5225.

GARAGE SALE On Sunday, Aug. 28, a fundraising garage sale will be held in Mission with all proceeds will go to the Fraser Valley Humane Society. It runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in front of Brent Wrenches Autoservice at 7076 Mershon St.

QUESTION

Graffiti in park

OF THE WEEK

Will the federal NDP recover from the loss of leader Jack Layton?

These so-called “Woof Packer’s” are no better than any others who use this park. I was in Berry Park laying on the grass in the sun two weeks ago, waiting for a colleague to ﬁnish work when some nosy woman threatened to call the police if I didn’t leave. I stood my ground and told her exactly what I thought of her. 2wheeldeal

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

If you surrender these places to them, you are giving them exactly what they want. We can’t let them win. We all need to take a stand against crime in this city. People can even phone in anonymously. If you bury your head in the sand and ignore it, whatever your excuse, you may as well be committing the crime along with them. April Lee Ann Sandford

Do you support the government initiative to provide free help to smokers to kick the habit?

200 RESPONDED:

Their parents must also be a bunch of bums and losers. No guidance at home or at school and no consequences when they do get caught. Mr. Smith

YES: 55% NO: 45%

A different time with a Bacon brother Nick

Greenizan

My View A few years ago, I wrote a column about a trio of old elementary-school classmates who’d ended up in the news for various criminal misdeeds. One, I said at the time, I recognized when I saw his face on the front page of a newspaper, where he was tagged as one of Canada’s most-wanted car thieves. Another, a reputed gangster whose name hadn’t even crossed my mind in more than a decade, was found ﬂoating in the Fraser River, dead. And though I mentioned him only anonymously at the time, the third was Jonathan Bacon, the 30-year-old Abbotsford resident, whose name – along with those of his two brothers – has become in recent years synonymous with the Lower Mainland gang crisis. Bacon was killed Sunday in Kelowna, in a targeted drive-by shooting. I suppose when you live by the gun,

you have to be prepared to die by it, too, and many have said it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. But on Sunday night, as word spread of Bacon’s death – and some Lower Mainland residents cheered, most notably on social-media platforms – I couldn’t help but feel just a little bit uneasy. Because 20 years ago, we were friends. Jonathan’s family lived across the street from mine. He and his brothers attended my birthday parties, we played baseball in our front yards – the ﬁrst video game I ever played, on an Atari, I played in his living room. His mother babysat me after school. That was a long time ago, and our lives have obviously taken far different paths since. But still, deep down, I couldn’t bring myself to note any sense of justice in his death. I relayed my feelings to a friend of mine, and she understood. “No matter what, it’s always a little sad if you knew a person on a different level, even if it was a long time ago,” she said.

And maybe she’s right. Maybe my ﬁrst reaction was nothing more than the deep recesses of my brain painting a picture of how things used to be, as opposed to how they are now. Childhood memories can be funny that way – sometimes you only remember what you want

Over the last two decades, something went very wrong for one of us, and I don’t know why, or how. to remember. Because in reality, I know the havoc Bacon and people of his ilk have caused. I know his two younger brothers are locked up for a reason, and there’s not much room for randomness in a targeted hit. I also know that two innocent men, Chris Mohan and Ed Schellenberg, are

not with us today because they were murdered as a result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. So I’m no gang sympathizer here. I don’t cheer for the bad guys in movies. But I didn’t go to elementary school with many Hollywood villains, so perhaps that’s why. Or perhaps, last Sunday, when Jonathan’s death was ﬁrst reported, I was mourning the fact that somewhere over the course of the last two decades, something went very wrong for one of us, and I don’t know why, or how. Or maybe, like my friend suggested, it really was just nostalgia. So while some celebrate – and others worry, rightfully, about potential retaliation – and police laud the fact that another dangerous gangster is off our streets, I choose instead to remember a time long ago, before any of this, when a couple of kids used to run around the neighbourhood playing ‘war’ with plastic guns. Because now we’re dying by real ones, and I can’t cheer about that. Nick Greenizan is a reporter at the Peace Arch News, as sister paper to The Abbotsford News.

Acoustic contaminants

I read with interest your Aug. 18 column about the need to phase out blueberry propane cannons. While I agree totally with your viewpoint, I feel that you were not nearly emphatic enough about the harmful effects of noise on human health. The issue of propane cannon noise is only one aspect of the serious problem of noise pollution that permeates every part of our lives. There exists a vast amount of information, both scientific and general interest, confirming that unwanted noise is not simply a nuisance, but an acoustic contaminant with profound implications for human health. The physiological and psychological harm caused by noise has long been established by the World Health Organization and other medical and environmental groups. In addition to the hearing loss caused by loud noise,

unwanted sound at any level can interfere with sleep (and still affect you even when it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually wake you), raise blood pressure, increase heart rate, increase the risk of heart disease, impair concentration and productivity, increase stress, affect mental health, and overall reduce your quality of life. At its extreme, unwanted noise can result in violence and murder. Anti-noise pollution groups exist all over the world, including here in Vancouver. The mainstream media is full of articles and investigative reports observing the relentless increase in noise pollution in our society and the harm it causes, and asking what can be done about it. Given the compelling evidence that unwanted noise is harmful to human health, and the huge amount

of readily accessible information on the subject, the question is how and why Surrey council and its bylaw enforcement department, which has a duty to protect its citizens and enforce the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noise bylaw, can remain so abysmally ignorant of, or resistant to, this fact. Apart from issues of economics or votes related to the blueberry industry in particular, my own observations are that the continued tolerance of noise pollution is also generally linked to the increasing trend in our (un)civil society towards selfish and inconsiderate behaviour, a perverse sense of entitlement, and an obsessive focus on the perceived rights of the individual over the common good. Witness the utter disregard that many individuals and businesses show for their neighbours and visitors when they choose

to pollute our common soundscape and impose their noise on others. This attitude feeds on the overwhelming messages our society projects by tolerating and encouraging the kinds of aural assaults created by propane cannons and other unnecessary noise sources: noise is essential (and silence is to be avoided at all costs), the louder the better, and go elsewhere if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it. It is only a matter of time until noise pollution, and its profound impairment of human health and quality of life, captures the serious attention it deserves in the wider public consciousness and on the political agenda. Acoustic responsibility is a concept whose time not only has come, but is long overdue.

Mail out survey instead of phone poll I find it difficult to understand how the City of Abbotsford can spend $10,000 for a study involving only 300 citizens. At a cost of $33.33 per interviewee, it makes me wonder why such a small sampling, who picked those particular 300 citizens, and does it have anything to do with the upcoming election of our city council? If the city really wants to know how its citizens feel, why not mail out a survey questionnaire with its yearly tax bill?

School honoured for anti-bully effort Rick Hansen secondary receives award

Rick Hansen Secondary school has received a 2011 Safe School Award for its efforts against school bullying. The award was presented by Stop A Bully, a Canada-wide anti-bullying program developed by a B.C. teacher. It allows any student who is a victim of, or a witness to, bullying to be able to safely report it to school officials without fear of becoming a target themselves. “Principal Julie Rousseau of Rick Hansen Secondary has shown that her school has made confronting school bullying and creating a safe school environment a top priority, which includes using the Stop A Bully safe reporting system” said program founder Trevor Knowlton. Rousseau was pleased the school’s efforts were being recognized. “Bullying is a problem faced by

all schools, but it is interesting to note that this issue is no longer just restricted to the school environment. Secondary schools in particular face increasingly complex challenges regarding students’ use of online social media. Unfortunately, students can become victims of cyber-bullying in their own homes. As part of the initiative, Rick Hansen became a member of the Stop-A-Bully website which enables students and parents to file a bully or cyberbully report anonymously. A report can be filed online by the victim, a bystander, a witness or even a frustrated parent. “Having an anonymous reporting system is just another intervention that allows us to be pro-active,” said Rousseau. For more details on Stop A Bully see www.StopABully.ca.

Landfill ban diverts 47,000 mattresses Residents pay fees to support recycling Jeff NAGEL and Kevin MILLS Black Press

More than 47,000 mattresses or box springs have been recycled this year since January, when Metro Vancouver banned them from being dumped in the garbage. That’s equivalent to a stack taller than Mount Everest – or a pile that could fill B.C. Place – that might otherwise end up in the landfill. Metro residents – including Abbotsford citizens – now pay a $20 recycling fee if they bring a mattress or box spring to a Metro waste transfer station. The Matsqui transfer station is owned and operated by Metro. People can usually pay less by going directly to a mattress recycler or by having an old mattress recycled when they buy a new one from a local retailer. Tracy Kyle, Abbotsford’s director of water and solid waste, said if the mattress is in good shape “we encourage people to contact the MCC or Salvation Army first.” “Mattresses have long been a

problem at transfer stations. They are bulky and the springs get caught,” said Kyle. Three mattress recycling companies now employ more than 45 people, tearing old beds apart to recover metal, wood, cotton and foam to be processed and re-used. A Metro spokesman said it’s not yet clear whether the new fee to get rid of mattresses has led more people to dump them illegally. Surrey did initially experience significantly more illegal dumping of mattresses after the change, according to Gerry McKinnon, the city’s manager of operations. The city responded with an advertising drive to ensure residents know they can arrange free mattress pickup through the Surrey’s large item pickup program. Abbotsford did not record an increase in illegal dumping. For Abbotsford residents, the closest private mattress recycler is more than 40 kilometres away, in Coquitlam. Local mattress retailers can be found by visiting www. MetroVancouverRecycles.org.

Teacher talks begin with arbitration Tom FLETCHER Black Press

A tangle of technical issues is being sorted through by the B.C. Labour Relations Board this week as public school teachers and their employers prepare for another disputed school year. The B.C. Public School Employersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association (BCPSEA) applied to the labour board for a ruling expected by Friday on the scope of province-wide bargaining issues. The employer says the B.C. Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (BCTF) has failed to present a full set of proposals at the provincial table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BCTF continues to attempt to negotiate provincial matters and matters that may not be bargained at this time (including class size, class composition and staffing ratios) at local tables,â&#x20AC;? BCPSEA said in a bargaining bulletin.

In June, teachers voted 90 per cent in favour of a strike mandate. In July, BCTF negotiators tabled demands including wage parity with other provinces, doubled bereavement leave to provide 10 days paid leave on the death of a friend or relative, increased preparation time and a retirement bonus that would give departing teachers an extra five per cent payout for each year worked. BCPSEA says the pay demand would mean a 21 per cent raise for some teachers to match Alberta rates. It calculates that the entire package of demands would cost an extra $2.2 billion. The B.C. government has settled contracts with a majority of its unionized staff this year, working within a â&#x20AC;&#x153;net zeroâ&#x20AC;? budget mandate. Education Minister George Abbott has repeatedly indicated that the

same mandate applies to teacher talks. BCTF president Susan Lambert says without a negotiated settlement by the time school begins Sept. 6, teachers will start phase one of strike action by refusing all non-essential duties. The relationship between the two sides is reflected in an LRB arbitration handed down Aug. 5. The BCTF accepts that taking attendance is an essential service, but tried to refuse to send attendance information to the school office, even though this may involve no more effort than pushing the send button on a computer. The LRB refused the request for a second time. The board decided that both monitoring attendance and sending in the results represent a safety issue, and ruled that teachers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refuse it and force a management person to collect the data.

Education Minister George Abbott set a friendly tone by joining union president Susan Lambert at the BCTF convention in Victoria in March.

Tom FLETCHER

This Saturday and Sunday - August 27th & 28th

Black Press

B.C.’s high school grads were leaving millions in scholarship money on the table by not writing optional final exams, so the education ministry has changed the system to make sure the aid gets to students who do well on mandatory tests. Optional scholarship exams for grade 12 have been dropped for this school year, after postsecondary institutions changed their admission criteria and no longer use grade 12 optional tests. Provincial scholarships will now be awarded to students based on the required provincial exams in place for grades 10, 11 and 12. The exam system was changed in 2004 to reflect the different postsecondary pathways students can take. Once they were not counted for post-secondary admission, only one in five grade 12 students chose to write optional scholarship exams. Provincial scholarships are typically $1,000, with the top 20 students receiving $2,500, and before the changes, B.C. used to give out about $5 million worth. Courses that now have required provincial exams are Science 10, Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics 10, Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-calculus 10, Social Studies 11, B.C. First Nations Studies 12, Civic Studies 11, English 10, English 10 First Peoples, French 12 and Communications 12. “B.C.’s exam program continues to be one of the most rigorous in Canada,” Education Minister George Abbott said. “Our students compete globally, and we know one of the best ways we can support their bright future is through a solid post-secondary education.

Returning sockeye salmon will be tested to determine if this year’s run was contaminated by radiation picked up in the North Pacific from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said sampling of salmon and other fish is already underway and will continue

through August and September. The agency expects the tests, planned since June, will show radiation in B.C.caught salmon is well below levels that would prompt federal action, but calls it a prudent measure to reaffirm its safety for both domestic and export markets. Results are to be posted on the CFIA website as they be-

come available. Fraser River sockeye migrate far out into the Pacific, as far west as the Bering Sea, although they were likely on their way back to B.C. when multiple Japanese reactors damaged by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami released radiation through the air and contaminated seawater. On Aug. 11, Health Canada removed nine extra radiation detectors that had been installed in B.C. and the Yukon in response to the Fukushima disaster, saying radiation levels continue to be within background levels and there’s no cause for concern. An SFU professor who has also gauged radiation levels in B.C. and found nothing of concern supports Ottawa’s decision to scale back.

“We haven’t seen any increased levels,” Kris Starosta said. “Monitoring is very expensive and time consuming.” Claims have circulated on social media this summer that authorities hid the true extent of Canadians’ exposure to Japanese radiation. One recent media report pointed to big “spikes” of Iodine-131 detected by a federal monitoring station at Sidney on Vancouver Island. For seven days in March, that station did measure Iodine-131 at readings at least 100 times higher than normal. But Iodine-131 is just one radioisotope and a small component of the overall degree of radiation exposure B.C. residents get from various background sources.

The deadline for nominations is midnight Sept. 9. Nominations submitted by mail must be postmarked no later than the deadline. All nominees must have contributed to addressing social challenges in their community. Political and public advocacy work are excluded. Award recipients will be recognized at an award ceremony which will be held in the winter and their achievements will be profiled. All award recipients will receive a medal, a Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards pin and a letter of congratulations from the prime minister. In addition, regional award recipients will be eligible to identify a not-for-profit organization to receive a $5,000 grant.

FEED THE CHILDREN

You appreciate beauty & craftsmanship. You applaud precision engineering. You deserve customized perfection.

The Abbotsford Arts Council presents

ENVISION CONCERT IN THE PARK SERIES Photo courtesy of the Correctional Service of Canada

The Fraser Valley Institution (FVI) Inmate Committee handed over $4,000 to the Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society. The money will support their ‘Feed the Children’ program whereby thousands of meals are prepared and distributed to school children who would otherwise study on empty stomachs. Nancy Nolan works at FVI and was delegated by the inmates to donate the cheque to Peter Penner (Bowls of Hope), accompanied by Donna Yates, founder of the program. The exchange took place at FVI in Abbotsford. The FVI inmates were touched by a recent news story on the action of the volunteers who prepare and deliver 20,000 hot lunches annually to nearly 500 Chilliwack school children. The inmates took the money from their welfare fund, which obtains revenues from deductions on inmate pay, canteen profits and fundraising activities.

Outlaws’ guns blazing

Great individual performances at nationals

After going 4-2 in pool play, the Abbotsford Outlaws girls fastpitch squad came away with a respectable fifthplace finish out of 14 teams at the U16 Canadian National Championships in Winnipeg on Aug. 17-21. The Outlaws won their first playoff game against Calgary Kaizen with a 10-9 thriller, before bowing to Manitoba’s host team, the Smitty’s Terminators 6-1 just prior to the medal round. Head coach Ed Klammer said Abbotsford teams have rarely made appearances at the fastpitch nationals, and his team can take a lot of pride in their accomplishments. “These will be lasting memories,” said Klammer. There were a number of Outlaws’ girls, however, that were recognized for their outstanding play by Softball Canada officials. Second baseman Kelsey Hamade and pick-up catcher Anna Battison of Tsawwassen were both named to the U-16 all-star team. Hamade had a batting average of .476 and Battison .375. The catcher also smacked the Outlaws’ only home run of the tournament. In addi-

tion, they both stood out for their great glove work in the field. Centrefielder Chelsea Jenner received an individual award as the tournament’s top batter with an impressive .632 average. She also had the most hits. Pitcher Morganne Blattmann contributed to the Outlaws’ efforts with three victories in six pool play games, and a sterling 1.62 ERA. “She was our number one gun. She was awesome the whole week,” said Klammer. The White Rock Renegades won the national title, beating the Ajax (Ontario) Raiders 7-3 in the championship game. The Outlaws won the provincial bronze medal this season. Klammer predicts the Outlaws will have a solid season as first-year midget players next season, and in two years could again challenge for a national title. “If the core of the team stays together, they’ll have another shot in two years.”

Inspiring others the coast of India – that carries her product. Even with Hollywood knocking on at her door, one of the coolest moments for Vanderhorst was receiving Abbotsford’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. For Vanderhorst, it was the recognition that someone who follows a dream, no matter how small the operation, can still succeed. It’s a sentiment that has been echoed by others. Vanderhorst continues to receive letters from strangers and acquaintances, thanking her for the inspiration to start their own businesses.

CHILDRENS HOSPITAL

As KV Bijou grows, so does Vanderhorst’s work space. She no longer works at the kitchen table, but now has an ofﬁce and a work room where she still creates each piece by hand – from turquoise necklaces to jasper earrings and candy jade rings. “Sometimes watching the shows and seeing that (the Bachelorette) is wearing a $90,000 dress and ... a little $40 ring is intimidating, but it’s also amazing,” she said. “If they only knew.” KV Bijou’s new website is launching today at www. kvbijou.com.

Encouraging Kids to Live a More Active Lifestyle Unlike their parents, today’s kids often forgo sandlot baseball or games of tag for much more sedentary fare like video games or surfing the Internet. While video games and Internet access aren’t lacking in value, many parents would prefer their kids be more active. Though it can be difficult to get kids off the couch, there are ways parents can help their kids live and embrace a more active lifestyle, which can have benefits both now and down the road. * Make it a team effort. Parents who are concerned their kids aren’t getting enough daily exercise should ask themselves if they’re getting enough exercise themselves. Kids aren’t the only ones who need daily exercise. A good way to encourage kids is to join them. Make daily physical activity a team effort. Kids don’t have to join Mom and Dad at the gym. Instead, go for a nightly walk after dinner, or make time to play catch in the yard. Kids often take cues from their parents even if their parents aren’t aware. Parents who exercise every day are much more likely to have kids

who exercise every day as well. Set a positive example for kids and include them in your own fitness routine whenever the opportunity arises. * Minimize television time. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends older kids watch no more than two hours of television per day. But as any parent knows, most kids average much more than two hours of television per day. To decrease that tube time, parents can take televisions out of their kids’ bedrooms, instead putting televisions only in the common rooms which will also allow parents to more closely monitor what their kids are watching. * Encourage extracurricular activities. While parents might find it hard to believe, today’s kids, even with all the video games and additional gadgets, still get bored. Boredom might be contributing to sedentary lifestyles. To combat boredom, parents should encourage extracurricular activities that get kids off the couch. Whether it’s participating in team sports, joining the local or school theater program or

even getting a job, parents should encourage kids to do more after school than come home and turn on the television or play video games. * Emphasize activity instead of exercise. Many adults associate exercise with going to the gym or running on the treadmill, both of which are tough to get excited about. Kids might be equally indifferent and less enthusiastic about exercise. Instead of emphasizing exercise, encourage kids to be active. Being active doesn’t have to entail playing a sport or doing any calisthenics. Instead, an active lifestyle is one that’s not spent idling the hours away lounging. * Express interest in kids’ activities. Parents should express interest in their kids’ activities. If kids like to fish, ask how they fared after their most recent trip to the neighborhood fishing hole. When parents express an interest in their kids’ activities, kids are more likely to embrace those activities, something that’s especially beneficial if the activities in question are ones that get kids off the couch.

Tourists are lining up at U.S. border crossings instead of heading to B.C.’s favourite coastal getaways, and summer traffic on BC Ferries is down about four per cent as a result. BC Ferries is running its full summer schedule of sailings and CEO David Hahn estimates the lighter traffic means the corporation will probably take a loss of about $20 million on the year. But Hahn rejects the suggestion that rising ferry fares are keeping people away, because Statistics Canada figures show U.S. visits have slumped across Canada while traffic south has soared. “The strength of the Canadian dollar, the price of fuel, has driven Canadians across the board, not just in B.C., down into the United States … it’s a reverse of what happened in 2003 and 2004,” Hahn told CKNW radio Thursday. “I guarantee the people with the big motorhomes in Alberta are thinking twice about coming west. They’re going south because they can buy a lot more fuel for a lot less money down in the States.” In 2001, a vehicle with two passengers cost about $50 to travel from the B.C. mainland to Vancouver Island. That’s up to about $75 today, with proportionally larger increases on smaller routes. Hahn said BC Ferries’ fuel costs have tripled to $120 million a year since was appointed CEO in 2003. Foot traffic on the ferries is up as travellers occasionally find sailing waits for walk-on passengers. Hahn noted that vehicle travel to the U.S. is up across Canada, and airport figures are showing the same trend.

Cut costs on your next reno 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.

3. “I have a breaker that doesn’t stay reset.” 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!

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 could save you a call to 911 later.

6. “We’ve got a ‘mystery switch’.” 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.

MISSION 604.826.8810

With the economy still on the mend, homeowners must monitor their spending carefully. Such frugality is necessary across the board, even when it comes to home improvement. While it’s important not to cut too many corners when it comes to home improvement projects, there are ways homeowners can save money without sacrificing safety and quality. SCALE THINGS DOWN. A full-scale

kitchen remodel might be a dream project, but homeowners wary of committing too much money to a project might want to consider a smaller scale project. For example, instead of revamping the entire kitchen, address a single part of the kitchen, such as replacing vinyl flooring or refacing the cabinets. Such projects don’t require the financial commitment of a full-scale remodel but can give the kitchen a whole new look. CHIP IN. Many home improvement projects are best left to the professionals. However, much of the cost of such projects goes toward labor, including preparation before the project and cleanup once it’s finished. When interviewing contractors, ask if there is any prep work you can do to reduce labor costs and if there’s a way to handle cleanup yourself. Cleanup might be somewhat tricky, as certain materials might need to be disposed of in accordance to local laws. But prep work might be easily handled by homeowners and garner substantial savings. SHOP AROUND. In the current

market, homeowners looking to make improvements must recognize the market benefits them. Shop around for a contractor and get some competitive offers. While it’s not always best to choose the contractor who submits the lowest estimate, the nature of the current market suggests all contractors should submit competitive offers and be flexible. Flexibility might come with a few conditions, such as more time to complete the project, but those conditions might be worth it if it means saving money. MAKE SACRIFICES IN OTHER AREAS. Safety and quality should always trump cost when it comes to home improvement projects. If there aren’t too many ways to save money on a given project, make sacrifices in other areas and factor those sacrifices into the budget for the project. Instead of a summer vacation at a resort, visit a nearby hotspot that provides the same R&R but for a fraction of the cost of a more expensive resort. Such sacrifices don’t have to be permanent, but they can help weather the financial storm until the project is successfully completed.

Abbotsford News Friday, August 26, 2011

Respect the environment and use natural stone Ecological considerations are very important these days, so home building and decorating materials should always be evaluated according to their impact on one’s health and on the environment. Natural stone is an obvious choice to meet all

the requirements of sustainable development. This non-polluting natural product can be used for large surfaces such as exterior wall coverings, interior walls, and floors. It is also used in the manufacture of ornamental products that serve to decorate the home.

Completely recyclable, resistant to rot, and invulnerable to insect or rodent attack, natural stone is almost endlessly durable and reusable. Stones are readily available, often coming from local quarries in proximity to population centres, which greatly reduces the impact of

A31

transportation on the environment. Moreover, the different stages of the production process cause little pollution and require minimal energy expenditure. Some businesses, in fact, guarantee that their stone products are produced completely naturally, with no chemical products used in the finishing process. The stone blocks they cut, as well as the resulting debris, do not require any specific treatment and the cutting does not produce any toxic fumes. These businesses use water as a coolant for their machinery during the cutting and machining process. All this water is recuperated, filtered, and reused in a closed circuit.

Exterior wall coverings, window trims, columns and other decorative products in natural stone are all eco-friendly.

Home improvements tips for contractors, as well as DIYers ›› from page 30 is when a homeowner works through the concept of the project and determines what is necessary to complete the task. Many people find it helpful to write out plans and draw up the concept on paper. This doesn’t require expensive architectural software. A simple

piece of graph paper plotted with measurements and a sketch is often sufficient for small projects. If the job will be expansive and require an architect or engineer, he or she will often provide a technical drawing. If the project focuses more on decorating than building, some find it helpful to create

a design board. This is where fabric swatches, paint color samples, pictures of furniture and accessories, and any other components of the room are put together. Having a design board enables the homeowner to go to the store with board in tow and match up items to things in the store. Another part of the planning

stage is establishing a budget and determining the project’s financing. It can be helpful to make a list of all income and expenses and find out how much funding is left over for a project. When getting estimates on the work, whether it will be done by a contractor or a DIY project, the homeowner should then make a list of approximate costs (rounding up) and then compare it against the available funds.

permits may need to be on file or in the homeowners’ possession in order for a certificate of occupancy to be issued to the new buyer. Failure to have permits can hold up the process or result in fines.

PROTECTION Homeowners about to begin a project also need to emphasize safety. There are a number of things that can be on hand to make a work environment safer. These include: Eye protection: This is especially important when working with flying debris, cutting items, mixing caustic chemicals, etc. Respirator or face mask: Cover the nose or mouth when there is dust or debris in the air that can enter the lungs. When working with toxic fumes, such as when using spray paints or chemical lubricants, a respirator can offer clean air. Boots: Proper footwear ensures protection should an item fall on the foot or when walking where nails or other sharp items are located. Fire extinguisher: A fire extinguisher should be nearby in the event of a mishap. First aid kit: An abrasion or cut may occur, requiring prompt care. Gloves: When the hands need to be protected or extra traction on surfaces is required, gloves can be a necessity. Headphones: Safety headphones can protect the ears against loud, consistent noises from power equipment and tools. Locks: A locked cabinet can store tools, paints, chemicals, and other improvement supplies so that young children or pets won’t have access. When homeowners take the time to plan, obtain permits, and secure the needed protection for a job, they help ensure a safer job that is done correctly.

Move over Hawaii, we have our own beautiful hibiscus to light up our summer gardens. Perhaps one of the most under-used summer flowering shrub is the hardy Hibiscus syriacus althaea or Rose of Sharon. It has been cultivated in England since the 16th century, but it is only over the past few years that, because of today’s many new varieties, it has become a more main-

stream plant. Hardy to zone six, and possibly some high zone fives, it is one of the few flowering shrubs that opens in succession from July through to October. Once the mophead hydrangeas finish, there is a distinct lack of garden colour from flowering shrubs, and that’s why these plants are so important. Hibiscus are generally the last flowering shrub to show leaves

in spring but they more Brian than make up for it by being the last hurrah in the fall garden. Hibiscus can be somewhat difficult to get established. They need full sun or just a touch of shade and a little tender loving care to get going and to perform their best. Hibiscus grow just fine in a wide variety of well drained soils,

Minter

Gardening but they need plenty of organic matter to hold moisture. They wilt easily in hot weather and need a deep watering during periods of long drought. Don’t move them around the garden as they are not happy being trans-

planted. It’s also a good idea to mulch their roots over the first couple of winters to protect them from deep frost. Hibiscus are usually sold as small to medium sized plants in bush form, but they can also be purchased or trained into a handsome tree form. Growing to about 3.5 meters (12 feet), they can easily be pruned

in late winter to conform their size to your garden needs. There are three flower forms: large singles, semi-double and smaller doubles. My favourite is Red Heart, a large white single with a red eye that really shows up in the garden. Diana is a huge pure white triploid that remains open at night. Minerva is a large lavender and almost everyone’s favourite. Woodbridge is a single magenta rose with a red eye. Bluebird and Marina are improved forms of a single blue with a red eye. In the double forms, ‘Ardens’ is a purple and Collie Mullens is a magenta rose with a crimson eye.

The newest series from Proven Winners is the Chiffon Series featuring beautiful large, full semi-doubles. The blue, lavender, white and pink Chiffons are quite spectacular. Some very innovative growers are planting two colours together in one container, providing a beautiful two tone effect for a novel addition to any garden. Hibiscus are just blooming now in most nurseries, and it’s a great time to see all the varieties to make a choice for your garden. Planted now, they will light up your summer garden for years to come.
