A day in the life of a food bank volunteer Finds a second family through helping others Tyler ORTON Contributor

The traffic running through the Abbotsford Community Services Food Bank is at its peak this time of year. The bottom floor is packed with volunteers handing out food hampers, while the Christmas Bureau upstairs is lined with shelves full of gifts for children and teens. Seniors, single parents and workers trying to get by on minimum wage are leaving the centre with food and presents for the holidays. “I lived in Vancouver as a single mom on welfare and there wasn’t, in those days, anything,” says Gina Williams, a volunteer at the Abbotsford Food Bank and Christmas Bureau.

Vali Marling speaks to the audience at Tourism Abbotsford’s Christmas breakfast about the success at Tradex.

Tradex has a total economic impact of $84.6 million, according to a study performed for the local trade and exhibition centre. The figure was made public Wednesday morning as Tourism Abbotsford hosted its annual Christmas breakfast for the city’s movers and shakers. Vali Marling, Tradex’s director of operations, informed the crowd that the trade and exhibition centre annually generates $27.5 million in wages and 846 person years of employment. When it first opened in 1991, the facility hosted 22 events. In 2011, more than 90 events took place. Originally, Tradex was built in 100 days for $4.5 million. In the past 20 years, five million visitors have passed through the doors and over 1,000 events have been hosted, making it one of the busiest midsize exhibition centres in Canada. “Once again it’s been an incredibly busy year at Tradex,” said Marling.

Expansion was one of the main topics on organizers’ minds. Marling said the facility consistently has to turn away events. “The reason we are looking at expansion? Frankly, we’re full ... We are really looking for space,” she said. While expansion has not been approved, a set of floor plan concepts were on display for visitors to examine. “Twelve events have outgrown Tradex ... currently our clients are paying to rent tent space,” said Marling, adding that four more shows are about to outgrow the facility. In order to host more shows, multiple bookings will become necessary. In 2012, the plan is to separate the two halls so events can run simultaneously. Marling said the next step is to prepare a business case. Currently, the facility has 123,000 square feet of floor space. While nothing official has been developed, Dan Stefanson, executive director of Tourism Abbotsford, Continued on A6

Rest-stop mystery Woman has no memory of getting from Surrey to Abbotsford

Abbotsford News

KEVIN MACDONALD VIDEO PHOTO

A Surrey woman has no recollection of how she arrived at the Bradner Rest Stop in Abbotsford. Bradner rest stop, located on the north side of Highway 1 west of the Mt. Lehman Road interchange. She began walking west and then hitchhiked home to Langley, where she contacted RCMP. The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) and Surrey RCMP then became involved in the investigation. The matter is now being led by the APD’s major crime unit. MacDonald said one of the things police are considering is whether the woman had been drugged

during the evening. Detectives are also asking any witnesses to come forward who might have seen the woman or had contact with her at the pub, the rest stop or in between. She is Caucasian, 5’ 6”, 125 pounds with long light-brown hair. She was wearing burgundy-coloured pants with a green stripe and an army-style jacket. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police at 604-8595225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

His female victims were 12 and 13 years old Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford man was found guilty on Wednesday in Chilliwack Supreme Court of sexual offences involving two girls aged 12 and 13. Shaun Michael Sloat, 33, is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 13 on two counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual interference, occurring in November 2007. Sloat was charged in August 2009 after an extensive investigation by the Abbotsford Police Department (APD). Const. Ian MacDonald said the matter was brought to the APD’s attention in February 2009, when a youth worker reported that an older man was befriend-

FOOD BANK DONATIONS

Guilty of sex assault Vikki HOPES

NewsBytes Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service was called to Robert Bateman Secondary on Wednesday afternoon to deal with an art kiln that had overheated. Crews arrived on the scene at about 4:15 p.m. and discovered that the kiln had produced a large volume of smoke, but no flames. There were no injuries and no damage to the building, located at 35045 Exbury Ave.

Vikki HOPES

A 37-year-old Langley woman has told police that she awoke at the Bradner rest stop in Abbotsford after a night of heavy drinking in Surrey, and has no recollection of how she got there. The woman said she awoke to find her clothes askew and that she was missing jewelry, her iPod, a cellphone and her identification. Police in Abbotsford are now trying to piece together what happened between the hours of 9 p.m. on Dec. 1 and 8 a.m. on Dec. 2 to determine if a criminal offence occurred. Const. Ian MacDonald said the woman was drinking in the Central City Brew Pub in Surrey on the evening of Dec. 1, after having arrived via public transit. The pub is located in the busy area near the Surrey Central SkyTrain station. MacDonald said the woman left the pub at about 9 p.m., according to surveillance video that police have reviewed. “We are able to say with a great deal of confidence that she left that brew pub, and she left by herself.” He said the woman has no further recollection of the evening. She awoke at 8 a.m. the next day on the grassy portion of the

ing some young girls to whom she was providing support. MacDonald said police then conducted an extensive investigation, and allegations began to emerge that there had been sexual contact between the man and girls aged 12 to 14. The abuse had apparently taken place at the man’s house, where he invited the teens to hang out. MacDonald said the difficulty was in finding victims who were willing to talk to police. Some did not trust authority figures, while others viewed the man as a friend and did not want to “rat him out,” he said. Two victims were willing to testify, and did so during Sloat’s trial.

Crown prosecutor Sylvia Domaradzki praised the two girls – now ages 15 and 17 – for their strength and courage. “They did very well (at the trial). I’m very proud of them,” she said. In addition to the sexual offences, Sloat was initially charged with two counts of administering a noxious substance, but they were stayed because there was not enough evidence to call an expert to testify, Domaradzki said. Sloat is not currently in custody. According to the provincial court database, he has an extensive criminal record in Abbotsford, including previous convictions for assault, possession of a controlled substance, uttering threats, possession of stolen property and theft.

A group of business students from University of the Fraser Valley will collect donations for the local food bank during the Abbotsford Heat hockey games today and tomorrow (Dec. 9 and 10). The students from professor Cindy Stewart’s advertising class will be on hand starting at about 7 p.m. outside of the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, 33800 King Rd. They will collect cash and non-perishable food for the Abbotsford Community Services’ Food Bank and Christmas Bureau.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the PriceSmart food parking lot at West Oaks Mall, 32700 South Fraser Way. Ford of Canada and Magnuson Ford will donate $20 for each participant who test drives a new Ford vehicle. The goal is to raise $6,000 for each charity. The event also includes a raffle and sales of hot chocolate and hot dogs.

said a 100,000-square-foot expansion is an option. Tourism Abbotsford is in the process of creating a series of scenarios, and the cost of each one. The scenarios range from doing nothing, capitalizing on every possible demand, and options between those two points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our own internal concept would be two additional halls. The halls would be two storeys. And the halls would be 50,000 square feet,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Until a plan has been completed, Stefanson said it is difficult to estimate the cost. However, the 100,000-square-foot expansion could cost between $15-$20 million. He said federal and provincial funding would be sought, as well as a private partner and funds from Tourism Abbotsford. There is no timeline on when or if expansion will occur.

Christmas Wrapping Paper is Not Recyclable When wrapping up presents, consider using re-useable gift bags, tins, or shopping bags as an alternative to wrapping paper. Christmas wrapping paper cannot be recycled, due to low quality paper and the number of contaminants. In Canada, the annual waste generated from gift wrapping and shopping bags equals about 545,000 tonnes. Blue bags containing wrapping paper will not be collected. An alternative idea is to make the wrapping a part of the gift by using a scarf, t-shirt, or blanket to wrap the present.

Unattended wok blamed for fire

A fire at an Abbotsford home Tuesday night is being attributed to a wok left on a stove unattended. Ted Main, fire prevention lieutenant with Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS), said the resident of the Godson Court home had been preheating cooking oil on the stove. The oil ignited, setting fire to the hood fan and cupboards directly above the stove, he said. The resident smothered the fire in the wok, using a pot lid, and then called 911. “Her actions, combined with a quick response by Abbotsford firefighters kept the fire from becoming a major loss,” Main said. Fire crews were called at about 5:30 p.m., and arrived to find smoke and a small fire in the cupboards. Main said they quickly put out the flames using portable extinguishers. Fire damage is estimated at $6,000. Main said unattended cooking is the number one cause of house fires. As a result of this incident, AFRS has replaced one of the green bulbs on its Christmas wreath with a red one. The wreath, located outside hall 1 on George Ferguson Way, started with 31 green bulbs. For every day there is a preventable SUBMITTED PHOTO Fire prevention officer Larry Hooge placing a red bulb on the residential fire, a green light is replaced with a red.

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

User fees are just another revenue source being exploited by the BC Liberals. Karen Dedosenco

Do you feel the new impaired driving laws are too harsh?

ICBC needs to go away... bring back private insurance companies and let the consumer have a choice. ICBC is lowering their private portion of insurance premium because most do not use them... they are raising the basic because none of us has a choice. The government has no business being in the insurance business. I think we need a referendum as to whether B.C. residents wants to kick ICBC out! Leslie Sofarelli

YES: 38% NO: 62%

The ‘virtue’ of good communication Andrew

Holota

On Point Last week, we learned that American television is interested in virgins – actually, four in particular, all of whom hail from Abbotsford. Keep your jokes to yourself... It seems a couple of U.S. TV networks ﬁnd it rather fascinating these four 20-somethings would a) still be virgins, or reasonable facsimile thereof; b) admit it; and c) write a blog about the whole concept of saving oneself for marriage. It is unusual in this day and age, one has to admit. We are bombarded daily with sexually charged marketing and entertainment. And in that context, the concept of abstinence prior to marriage does pose a contrast of values. I recall as a teenager, I was not a fan of virginity – mine, or whatever lovely lady I had designs on. In fact, I found

the condition to be virtually insurmountable for some time. Marriage being the gateway to physical relations was nowhere on the personal radar. Clearly, I did not appreciate what the parents had instilled in those good gals, nor their personal commitment to the cause. Now, as the father of a 14-year-old daughter who is increasingly becoming the apple of a host of young male eyes, I heartily endorse all aforementioned traditional institutions, up to and including segregation of the genders until at least university age. (OK, maybe the latter is a little over the top for contemporary society.) Hypocritical? Hey, when it comes to parenting, it’s do as I say, not as I did. Kidding aside, it’s interesting how one’s outlook often changes with parenthood. As I discovered a long time ago, one of the great challenges in fatherhood is explaining to one’s little girl the mystery of boys, which is entirely different than the mystery of girls, which is still pretty much a mystery to me. It’s a classic conundrum.

There’s the basic instinct of protecting your daughter from all and sundry, while preparing her for the world. In that respect, it should be simple enough. Tell her the honest truth behind the mystery of boys and she’d never speak to another one again.

Tell her the honest truth behind the mystery of boys, and she’d never speak to one again. But demonizing the entire male population – and dad in the process – might have detrimental effects on her relationships, like when she’s 30 or thereabouts. So you have to approach this whole topic of virtue carefully. Especially when she relates the alarming progress some of her colleagues are making in terms of the ﬁrst kiss, and other such early contact.

It’s a delicate topic that cannot be handled by locating the young gentlemen, and scaring their emerging hormones into remission. Clearly, with good guidance, the girls can deal with it better. I recall with fond amusement a scenario that occurred many years back. Anna happened to mention that some of the boys who played soccer at lunch wanted her and her friends to be cheerleaders for them. I sagely pointed out that she and her friends also play soccer, and if the boys wanted the girls to cheer them on during their game, they should be willing to do the same when the girls play. She agreed that was an equitable arrangement. So, the next day I followed up. What did the boys say? “Well, ﬁrst it was no, no and no. “Then they did a chicken dance. “Then they made cow noises. “And then ﬁnally, I think we were starting to communicate with them!” I didn’t have the heart at the time to tell her it doesn’t get much easier as she gets older. I think she knows that.

letters Random acts of kindness

It seems there are more letters of complaint than of praise. So I’d like to remind the readers that there are a lot of wonderful people in Abbotsford, given to “random acts of kindness.” I experience them most often when I’m shopping. Being very obviously handicapped, I find it very interest-

ing to see how many people, young and old, customers and staff, are cheerfully willing to help, when asked, and even to just offer – without being asked – to help. This ranges from an elderly gentleman looking for a jar of jam I wanted, and couldn’t find; to a young woman emptying my scooter basket at

the checkout; to a taxi driver picking up the step stools my driver uses so I can get into her truck (that she forgot to pick up) and delivered them to my apartment. I’ve lived in a lot of cities, but I can honestly say I appreciate living here in Abby more than anywhere else. Virginia Neish

Social division

I wonder if you may, without realizing it, be advocating social division in picturing eight people promoting such dubious and harmful practices as legalizing marijuana, and with slogans like “People over profits” – stealing Pope John Paul’s theme of his 1983 visit to Canada. Occupy Fraser Valley is oppos-

ing sincere government attempts to discourage young people from being trapped in a world of selfindulgence. There are so many more worthy projects to advocate. What a shame that these people don’t seem to recognize the necessity of meaningful work, as opposed to pie in the sky Nirvana. George Bochenek

Fund only official languages I am absolutely opposed to spending my tax dollars in furthering non-official languages in School District 34. Rather, I would encourage more funding to French immersion. I recognize French on the West Coast is limited in some private and public sectors. However, we must recognize that Canada has enshrined in its constitution only two official languages, French and English. Chinese, Punjabi, Vietnamese, Russian, German, etc. are secondary languages in Canada, and should be funded privately, not publicly. Having voiced my opposition to Punjabi language expansion in School District 34, I recognize we have a large number of Canadian citizens in Abbotsford whose mother tongue is Punjabi. I cannot object to these parents wanting their children to speak their native tongue. That is their right, whether or not I agree. But when I reflect on my upbring-

ing when my parents came to Canada in 1957 (I was nine years old at the time), they insisted only English be spoken at home until we became fluent in that language. Thereafter, we were allowed to speak in our mother tongue although it was sparingly. In our schooling, Mom and Dad insisted

that we make every effort to learn some French, even though it was seldom used in our daily environment. They felt we had an obligation to assimilate linguistically as much as possible in the Canadian mosaic of the time. I do not encourage non-official languages in our Canadian school system at pub-

lic expense. If a group of citizens chooses to teach their children their mother tongue, that is their right and I will respect their decision; however, they should do so at their own expense and not that of so many other taxpayers who may share my point of view. Henrik (Hank) Nielsen

U.S. lawyer is new B.C. police watchdog Tom FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government has hired Denver’s police oversight specialist to head the province’s new Independent Investigations Office. Richard Rosenthal was deputy district attorney in Los Angeles before moving to Portland to establish their independent police office. He then moved to create his current job as independent police monitor for the city and county of Denver. Rosenthal starts setting up the new B.C. office in January, and wants to have it ready to investigate deaths and serious injuries involving police starting in mid-2012. The B.C. government committed to a civilian-led agency after a string of incidents involving RCMP and city police forces. The office was recommended by inquiries into the 2007 death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver airport, and Frank Paul, who was removed from the Vancouver Police drunk tank in 1998 and left unconscious in an alley. The 2005 gunshot death of Ian Bush at the RCMP detach-

Premier Christy Clark and Attorney General Shirley Bond introduce Richard Rosenthal as B.C.’s first civilian director of police oversight. ment in Houston, B.C. was another case that pushed the B.C. government to end the practice of police incidents being investigated by other police forces. The independent office will also bring B.C. RCMP officers under civilian oversight. Asked at a news conference in Vancouver Wednesday if Denver police were happy to see him go, Rosenthal replied that he introduced a rule there that officers who lie to internal affairs investigators are fired.

That was a “change in culture,” he said. Rosenthal said he also wants to study cases of deadly force to learn from them, an approach that helped reduce police shootings in Denver from 12 to 15 a year to four or five. RCMP Assistant Commissioner Fraser MacRae was on hand for the announcement, and said he looks forward to working with Rosenthal’s office.

can now be finalized, as Rosenthal decides how much staff he needs. Rosenthal also plans to visit civilian oversight offices in Alberta and Ontario. Bond said civilian oversight of police is still new to Canada, and B.C. was fortunate to find a candidate who has set up two investigative offices and is willing to take on a third. Initially, the I n d e p e n d e n t Investigations Office (IIC) will restrict itself to cases of death or serious injury in police incidents. Bond said the mandate could expand after periodic reviews by a legislative committee.

Abbotsford Hospice Society Dear Friends, On March 30th 2011, David Holmberg Jr. passed away leaving a loving wife, two children, parents, siblings and their families, friends and colleagues. He was 48 years old. Just as David Jr.’s life was cut short, many families have to cope with the loss of a loved one far too soon. While traditionally adult hospice care has been associated with supporting patients in their later years, the Abbotsford Hospice Society will build the ﬁrst hospice residence in Abbotsford for those as young as 19 years of age. More and more people in our community are dying at a younger age and in 2010, every three minutes one Canadian was diagnosed with cancer and every seven minutes, one Canadian died of cancer (Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon).

Our very own locally built hospice residence, to be named “Holmberg House”, in honour of Dave Jr, will bring comprehensive care services, 24 hours a day, seven days a week to patients, their families and friends.

To date, the Abbotsford Hospice Society has raised 5 million dollars in donations and commitments towards the construction of the first adult hospice residence. We are so close, but now we are calling on you, your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours to help us finish this challenging, but absolutely vital project. Help us help those who are dying. With your aid, we can shape the future, and make a significant life changing difference for terminally ill patients and those who care for them. When you donate to Hospice (whether you give money, goods, or your time), you become an incredibly important link in the chain of life when people need it most.

Kettle campaign sustains Sally Ann The Christmas season serves as the prime fundraising period for The Salvation Army. The organization set a 2011 goal of $500,000, which will keep programs and services running throughout 2012. Funds are raised through mail-in and drop-off contributions, as well as donations made by phone or online with Visa or Mastercard. In addition, there are 13 red kettles set up at locations in Abbotsford and Mission. Christmas Kettles provide shoppers with an instant opportunity to give to those less fortunate. Volunteers are still needed to man the kettles for a minimum two-hour shift. The ďŹ nancial support raised at Christmas is very important to the ongoing work of The Salvation Army during the season, and in the com-

OUTREACH PROGRAM

COMMUNITY KITCHEN

Hampers Since singles are often not eligible for food hampers at other agencies that try to reserve their resources for those with children, we endeavour to supply hampers for them at Christmas. Someone in need can ﬁll out an application at The Salvation Army, and a hamper will be distributed later in December. Sponsor a Family Families, clubs, and businesses are invited to sponsor a family for Christmas. The Salvation Army coordinates the effort. Once the family is registered, we supply information such as a wish list and the genders and ages of the children. The sponsors then buy new gifts, goodies, a food basket, and Christmas dinner.

Angel Tree People who are unable to buy gifts for their children may register at The Salvation Army Centre of Hope. A tag is created for each child and hung on the Angel Tree at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre in central Abbotsford. Shoppers visit the booth manned by our volunteers, choose a child’s tag, and then shop for Christmas presents for that child. When they are ﬁnished, they bring the new, unwrapped gifts back to the Angel Tree. More volunteers transport the gifts to Cascade Church where the donations are sorted and organized. On the appointed day, grateful parents come to the church to pick up the gifts for their children. Christmas Dinner A traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings is often one of the highlights of the Christmas season, and the community dinner at the The Salvation Army Meal Centre is no exception. Between 350 and 400 people look forward to this wonderful meal and leave much more satisﬁed than when they arrived.

Our regards to The Salvation Army for the many services they provide to those who need them most.

entered into it with. If you are lucky enough to bring major assets into a relationship (i.e. a house, RRSPs, pensions, vacation property) and the relationship ends, you will lose a portion of those assets formerly known as “your own.” Current law states that all assets defined as “family assets,” whether brought into or acquired during the marriage, are to be divided equally among both parties at the end of a marriage. If you are ending a common-law relationship, the division of assets is based on an entirely different set of laws. In this case, you would have to prove that you made a contribution to your partner’s assets either with money, labour, or other efforts in order to share in the division of them. New legislation is being proposed which could dramatically change how property will be divided. This new legislation would apply to both married and unmarried couples equally. The proposed legislation sets out that, for most cases, it is only the increase in the value of the assets during the relationship that would be divided equally with your partner. The value of the asset at the time the relationship began is excluded from division, and would be kept by the person who owned it before the marriage or cohabitation. There are ways to protect yourself if you are bringing substantial assets into a relationship. Marriage agreements (formerly called prenuptial agreements) and cohabitation agreements are upheld by the courts provided the agreement treats both parties fairly. As uncomfortable as it may be to discuss these issues prior to your marriage or cohabitation, it pales in comparison to the angst experienced by many who have not asked those questions. Your family lawyer can help you explore your options and explain your rights and obligations before you say “I do.” Karen McNeilly is an associate with RDM Lawyers. legalease@abbynews.

Star Wars fairy tale on stage

A21

Adrian MacNair Black Press

Opening Night Theatre is taking a popular culture spin on the Christmas “panto,” with a production of Star Warz, accompanied by music from the Beatles. Producer Camille Knight has written the panto every year since ONT started community theatre in Mission five years ago. The panto (short for pantomime) is a popular British tradition, usually involving a wellknown fairytale told in a silly way, along with a lot of cross-dressing to go along with the silliness. The lead male and female roles are usually both played by women, while the “dame,” an old female character, is played by a man. In Star Warz, Jabba the Hutt is played by Gerwin Mills, who recently portrayed Abraham Van Helsing during their production of the Death of Dracula, who has filled the dame role in previous years. Jabba was turned into a female, explains Knight, because Star Wars has few female characters. “The role of the dame is always a sort of grotesque cross-dressing so you’re never under any illusion it’s a real female. It’s usually the evil stepmother or someone like that.” The ONT panto has always had two fairies who battle it out in previous years and attempt to influence events in the story. This time Fairy Naughty, Susan Dearing from Dracula, travels to a galaxy far, far away to become Darth Vader, while Fairy Nice, played by Jennie Bice, becomes the revered Yoda. “In the very traditional pantomime in the U.K. there’s a lot of double entendres and innuendo but it’s also aimed at kids. The kids love the silly slapstick and the adults like the

The all ages cast of Star Warz includes 14 actors . stuff that goes over the kids’ heads.” Camille Knight plays Chewbacca, and Dracula director Tony Loyer plays the role of Han Solo. Of course, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia and other characters are also in the play, and the storyline is loosely based on the first three films that defined early 1980s pop culture. The characters sporadically burst into song with songs entirely from the Beatles, with the lyrics rejigged to better suit the Star Wars theme. The show runs from Fridays to Sundays from Dec. 9 until Jan. 8. Tickets are $12 for adults, $6 for children (free under age three), and the family pass (two adults and two children) is $30. Tickets are available at Murdoch’s Book Shoppe or at the door at 33135 North Railway Avenue in Mission.

Stories with Songs, Strings & Steps Melissa WELSH Abbotsford News

The Songs, Strings and Steps group will deliver a sentimental show that will pull on another kind of string this year – heart

strings. “We wanted a show that had heart,” said Calvin Dyck, director and conductor for the Abbotsford Youth Orchestra. The 40 orchestra per-

formers will tell the stories of the music that they play, in a production fittingly entitled “A Christmas Tale.” Narrated by Sylvia Friesen, one such

story tells the history of a French carol, “Il est Ne.” A young boy exiled from Germany is later forced into the army during WWII. As a prisoner of war in TELUS STORES & AUTHORIZED DEALERS

France, he sees children walking down the streets, singing French carols. But Dyck said there will be comical moments along with the heartfelt. Before performing the song “God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman,” Friesen will tell the story of a family from the Prairies. Dancing around their living room, only uncle Dave notices that the Christmas tree has caught on fire. Lifting it up, he throws it out the door into the snow. The audience will then see uncle Dave walk on stage, carrying a burnt skeleton of a tree. In its 11th year, Dyck is focused on making the show as seamless as possible. “Last year, a patron came up to me and said, ‘This is as good as anything in Las Vegas.’” Joined by the Pacific Mennonite Children’s Choir, brass, wind and percussion musicians, and performers from Charlene Hart’s dance studio, the show is similar in size to a Vegas performance, with 150 members included in the concert. “You want to make it a total experience, a story. It’s more than just the music, it’s the atmosphere.” Adding to the show’s dynamic is how members from the youth orchestra dance while playing their basses, cellos, violins and violas. The choreography is set to the style of the song, and will vary between an Irish jig, a joyful happy hop to songs like “Jingle Bells,” and even some line dancing with the songs that sound more country. The show runs on Wednesday, Dec. 20 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and on Thursday, Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Central Heights Church, at 1661 McCallum Rd. Tickets are $25, $22, and $12 and are available at the House of James, at 2743 Emerson St., and King’s Music, at 2669 Langdon St. Discount prices are available for groups of 20 or more.

The release party, happening tomorrow (Saturday), will feature a performance by Willoughby, in addition to Josh Hyslop and The Burn Ins. But the event is also a fundraiser for a special Christmas gift. Willoughby, 36, and his wife Amanda, 31, are in the process of adopting a child. “It’s an opportunity for our friends, family and community to come alongside us, and let them hear our story.” Hoping to adopt locally first, the couple also has plans to adopt a child from Africa in the near future. Songs from the CD include favorites like, “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” and “What Child is This?” Willoughby’s original song “Christmas Eve” tells the story of the shepherds in the Christmas story, and how they are visited by the angel Gabriel

Design chosen for Hong Kong

A model wearing the dress designed by UFV student Kim Kokaszka of Mission.

A dress made with the help of marbles, clothes pins, and sheer creativity will be on display at a prestigious event in Hong Kong this month. The University of the Fraser Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kim Kokaszka is the only Canadian student, and one of three in North America, selected to showcase a piece at the International Shibori Symposium held at Hong Kong Polytechnic University from Dec. 5 to Jan. 18. Kokaszka was chosen by an international jury that received more than 100 student entries. Her garment was made with Shibori, an ancient Japanese technique in which cloth is manipulated and dyed to create unique patterns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am just so shocked and surprised. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only just starting to sink in now,â&#x20AC;? said the Mission resident of being selected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what everyone hopes for â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be recognized as an artist and designer.â&#x20AC;? Kokaszka created the dress in a UFV surface design class as part of the textile option of-

fered in the program. Using a single piece of polyester, she twisted the cloth with clothes pegs, bound pieces of fabric around marbles with elastic bands, and added stitching. Then she dyed the fabric a light grey. Instead of cutting the cloth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which Kokaszka couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring herself to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she found an innovative way to fold and form the fabric into a design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was completely in my glory and I loved the results,â&#x20AC;? she said. Her creativity garnered recognition not only from an international jury, but also from her instructors at UFV. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an artist, she has endless creative energy,â&#x20AC;? said UFV surface design instructor Eleanor Hannan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has an open mindedness and a fearless approach to her work that lets the piece lead her into design decisions rather than forcing her own will.

better part of two months. “It’s been a crazy week,” noted Taylor, who was 5-3-0 with a 2.58 goals against average and a .914 save percentage with Springfield. “I didn’t expect to get released – I was kind of blindsided, and it was tough on me. “I was really hopeful it would work out (with Abbotsford), because other than that, I think I’d be back over in Europe. I’m thankful this opportunity came my way.” Taylor’s bio contains another unique line item, aside from the number of teams he’s played for – he was born in Plymouth, England. “My dad is Canadian, but he was in the British army for a number of years, and that’s how he met my mom,” he explained. “We moved to Ottawa when I was two.” Ward’s first impression of Taylor has been positive. “I thought he was very calm,” the Heat bench boss said, re-

Last Tuesday, Nov. 29, Taylor suddenly found himself at loose ends after being released by the Springfield Falcons – a product of the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets returning highly touted youngster Allen York to their AHL affiliate. On Friday, Taylor was signed by the Heat. Sunday afternoon, he made his first start with Abbotsford, stopping 25 shots in a 3-1 road win against the Chicago Wolves. And by Sunday evening, he had a clear path to regular playing time, after workhorse starter Leland Irving was recalled by the Calgary Flames. Taylor will share the Heat’s goaltending chores with youngster Joni Ortio for the foreseeable future – the Flames announced Wednesday that their regular backup, Henrik Karlsson, will be out six to eight weeks with a high-grade MCL tear in his right knee, thus monopolizing Irving’s time for the

flecting on Taylor’s start in Chicago. “It’s like any kid who grows up with parents in the military. They travel and live in different places all the time, and it seems like by the time they’re 10, they’re pretty well acclimated to life. Change is easy. And it seemed like for Taylor, change is easy for him.” VAN DER GULIK LEADS MONSTERS Abbotsford native David Van der Gulik makes a homecoming this weekend, as his Lake Erie Monsters face the Heat in a Friday-Saturday set at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. The puck drops at 7 p.m. both nights. Van der Gulik, a former member of the Heat, is off to a terrific start this season – he leads the Monsters with 19 points (six goals, 13 assists) in 19 games.

Farmers clean up

Abbotsford farmers turned in 10,134 kilograms of obsolete pesticides during a twoday collection held in partnership with CleanFARMS and the City of Abbotsford. These collection programs are offered “to ensure unwanted or obsolete pesticides can be disposed of in an environmentally responsible way, at no cost to farmers,” said Barry Friesen, general manager of CleanFARMS. On Oct. 19 and 20, producers were invited to return pesticides at the Abbotsford Mission Recycling Depot. Throughout the month of October, collections were also held at four other locations in the Fraser Valley and on Vancouver Island. “We were pleased to partner with CleanFARMs to deliver this program,” said Barry Azevedo, solid waste and environmental engineer for the City of Abbotsford. “The obsolete pesticide collection program makes it easy for farmers to safely and responsibly dispose of unwanted products, and this benefits the whole community.” CleanFARMS partnered with the BC Agriculture Council (BCAC) to fund and operate this program. Since 1998, more than 1.4 million kilograms of obsolete or unwanted agricultural pesticides have been collected through the program – more than 207,000 of which have been collected in B.C. After collection, the pesticides are taken to a licensed disposal facility.

Balzer, Marie Our beloved Mother and Granny, Marie Balzer, passed peacefully into her eternal home on Dec. 4. She was born in Puchova, southern Russia on May 18, 1913, to Gerhard and Maria (nee Wiens) Poetker who co-owned a flour mill there. They were forced to flee when the Communists confiscated their mill. Her family then went to the Kuban where they joined other family members. Political unrest increased, so in 1924 they emigrated to Canada, landing in Quebec in midOctober. Her family settled in Colonsay, Saskatchewan, where they homesteaded. It was here that she gave her life to her Saviour, Jesus Christ, and at age 18 was baptized into the Mennonite Brethren church. It was also where she met John Balzer, whom she later married in 1933. After some difficult economic years, they moved to B.C. where they eventually bought a dairy farm in Arnold, BC. There they became charter members of the Arnold MB church, where they were very involved for many years, particularly in the area of music. Mom worked hard, cooking and sewing, keeping her large family fed and clothed,. She had always loved to read. Particularly in her last years, she spent much time reading her Bible. She had a wonderful sense of humour and also knew how to keep us all busy. Everyone had to help and there was always much to do. Mom loved life on the farm. She found it hard to leave, because Dad had developed heart problems. They moved to Clearbrook in 1966. In April of 1998, Dad passed away, leaving Mom alone. When she could no longer manage on her own, she moved to Tabor Home, where she passed away at age 98. Mom was predeceased by her husband, John, 1 daughter, Betty, a daughter-in-law, Margarita, 2 grandsons, Bob Schellenberg and Matthew Giesbrecht , and all her siblings except one sister, Emily. She is survived by her remaining 7 children Erika (Arnold) Schellenberg, John (Doreen) Balzer, Edith (Jerry) Neufeldt, Dorothy (Wes) Giesbrecht, Ed (Ev) Balzer, Ruth (Dave) Ratzlaff, and Gordon Balzer, 23 grandchildren, 36 great grandchildren, and 7 great-great grandchildren. The family is very grateful for the excellent care Marie received in her last years at Tabor Home. There will be a viewing at Woodlawn Funeral Home on Clearbrook Road, on Mon. Dec. 12 from 7 to 9 pm. Interment will be at the Maclure Mennonite Cemetery on Dec.12 at 9:30 am. The memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. in the Clearbrook MB Church, 2719 Clearbrook Rd. Online condolences may be given at

Share a little magic with a young person Volunteer to be a mentor today. www.sharealittlemagic.ca

Most of us have expressed these words “I think I am losing it”. This is a powerful statement. They tell me that several things are going on in this individual’s life. People are living complicated lives without having the proper resources in place to guide them. Most of us like to take care of others before we take care of ourselves. We want to reach out for help and yet we may not know how to do this. Relationships may be ending and yet life continues to be painful. When we feel emotionally empty, we need to understand that there is help. You need to know that you are not alone. Pain is an unpleasant feeling that seems to hurt us intensely. When we experience physical pain, we

go to a medical doctor. When we are experiencing emotional pain, we tend to hide behind a mask. We want people to know that we are ok and yet we are hurting. Every day we allow these issues to eat at us. We may create unhealthy habits that may be shortterm solutions. There are individuals and organizations in our community that are willing to help you through your pain. If your pain is increasing and you see no solutions let me encourage you to get help. Dignity Memorial Funeral Homes cares for you and the pain that you are going through. Please call me. I will connect you to the right people who are willing and able to help you.
