Pension changes pending? MP: No decision yet on move from 65 to 67 eligibility

Kevin Mills Abbotsford News

The federal government has not decided to raise the Old Age Security eligibility age from 65 to 67, according to Abbotsford MP Ed Fast. “Absolutely not – that is simply speculation ... There have been no formal changes proposed.” The rumour began after the Conservative government’s comments earlier this week indicating the system needs to be changed in order to keep it sustainable for future generations. Almost immediately,

reports that Canada could follow the U.S. example and increase the age of eligibility began to surface, both in the media and online. In 1983, the U.S. announced it would raise the age for collecting social security benefits to 67 from 65, by the year 2022. “What we have said is that we are reviewing our Old Age Security program because it is not sustainable based on how it’s structured right now ... if there are any changes, those changes will not affect Continued on A5

Abbotsford Police Const. Don McKenzie draws suspects from the memories of crime victims.

Drawing conclusions Const. Don McKenzie uses art to capture suspects Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

As Abbotsford Police Const. Don McKenzie sketched the suspect as described to him by the 13-year-old victim, he thought, “This can’t be right.” The drawing of the man who had grabbed the girl was emerging into a cartoonish character with bulging eyes, dark curly hair, a high forehead, large ears and a square face. But the teen declared the depiction was accurate, and the composite sketch was then shown to officers within the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) in hopes of identifying him. Someone recognized the man from previous dealings, and he was arrested for the crime. He looked

Survey to gauge interest in Punjabi School district considering more language classes

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A survey to determine whether there is enough interest to offer more Punjabi language classes will be conducted by Abbotsford school district. The survey will be conducted starting in mid-February and will be available to parents and community members online and in paper format at local schools. Both English and Punjabi versions will be available. A draft version presented at Monday’s board of education meeting featured six questions. One states that offering an additional language during the regular school day requires a qualified teacher and 25 to 30 students. It asks parents which two additional languages (from seven listed, including Punjabi) they would like to see at their school. Another question gauges the interest in having Punjabi offered online or outside of the regular school day. District superintendent Kevin Godden said the survey is just one part of a study into the expansion of the Punjabi as a second

language program. As well, a series of community-based focus meetings will be held at the end of the month or the beginning of March, and district staff will examine the costs of offering Punjabi at more schools. “I think it’s necessary we provide a thoughtful examination of the level of interest and our capacity to do this,” Godden said. Punjabi classes are already offered at Dave Kandal, Blue Jay and Harry Sayer elementaries; Eugene Reimer middle; and Rick Hansen secondary. All B.C. students in Grades 5 to 8 are required to learn a second language. Most learn French, and at schools in Abbotsford where Punjabi is provided, French continues to be offered. The school district also currently offers German, Spanish and Japanese – in addition to French – at local high schools, without any cost to families. The district is pursuing the matter after a group of parents in April 2010 requested that more Punjabi classes be offered. A link to the survey will be posted on the district website (sd34. bc.ca) and school websites when it is ready.

‘Plenty of notice’ before changes, says Fast

From A1

any current retirees; it will also not affect those approaching retirement,” said Fast. All Canadian seniors receive Old Age Security (OAS) benefits, regardless of their work history, unlike Canada Pension Plan (CPP) benefits, which are funded by workers and employers. Fast said if any changes are put forth, they would be “fair” and come with “plenty of notice.” The CPP, on the other hand, is “perfectly sustainable” and fully funded. Fast said there are no plans to make any changes there. Despite his reassurances, Fast said his Abbotsford office has received several calls and emails from constituents wanting to know what is going on. But he doesn’t have the answers. “No one is going to know exactly what, if any, changes we make until the budget.”

He said budget deliberations are always held “close to the chest” and he’s as curious as any other Canadian regarding what it will contain. The federal budget is not expected to be announced until the end of February or early March. According to Abbotsford Chamber executive director Allan Asaph, who has more than 25 years of experience as a financial adviser, if the government does alter the OAS system, it is unlikely to have a major effect on the public’s financial plans. “Most people, when they’re planning for retirement, are usually looking for other ways to develop their retirement income. They’re not necessarily looking at Old Age Security as being a primary component of that. For people in their 40s ... they still have time to adjust their plans accordingly.” But Asaph said it depends on how the government implements any changes.

$590

“Where I think the proposed changes will have the biggest impact is those individuals who are in their 60s right now and perhaps don’t have sufficient resources,” said Asaph. Those people may be counting on OAS as one of their major sources of income and would have to wait an extra two years to receive it. According to the Government of Canada website, the maximum OAS monthly payment is $540.12 and as of October 2011, the average payment received by eligible Canadians was $508.35. Asaph said if you are retired and receive about $60,000 a year in taxable income, your OAS payments will begin to get clawed back. “But, if you have somebody with $60,000 in taxable income, well, that’s a fairly decent income in retirement ... then you can afford the clawback.”

SIX CARS CRASH Traffic was snarled following two separate accidents not far from one another Thursday morning on Harris Road. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the collisions involved a total of six cars, and there were no serious injuries. The first crash, occurring just before 7 a.m., involved two vehicles, while the second took place just after 7 a.m. and involved four vehicles. One was on Harris Road near Highway 11, and the other was on Harris near Gladwin Road. MacDonald said speed and tailgating were factors in the chain-reaction collisions.

tigation, such as in the case of a suspect in a sexual assault in Abbotsford in midDecember. The victim was an 18-year-old girl who was walking through a field when a man grabbed her, groped her and attempted to force her into a sexual act. No suspects have been arrested in that incident. McKenzie said his job can also result in identifying false crime reports. For example, a teen who misses curfew might make up a story to explain his lateness to his parents. He might describe an assault that took place, resulting in police being contacted. If there are suspicions about his story, McKenzie can be called in to attempt to complete a suspect drawing. Sometimes it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go any further. At other times, the supposed victim will speed through the process, quickly choosing facial characteristics in the catalogue and giving the OK to McKenzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sketch with little or no revisions. McKenzie can usually zone in on these situations, backed by his intuition as a police officer with 27 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience, including 10 years in Vancouver walking the Downtown Eastside. He joined the APD in 1995 and currently works on crime scenes, gathering forensic evidence, CSI-

style. McKenzie has always had a love for art, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about using it in his job until he met and spoke with an RCMP composite artist working on a case about 10 years ago. He then took a one-week course offered by the RCMP, and has taken several other courses since, including training in threedimensional work such as recreating facial features on a skull. One of his first composite drawings was of a suspect in a sexual assault. The victim had reported a similar crime five years before, but said the two attacks involved different men. Police compared McKenzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drawing with a composite sketch done after the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous report, and the two illustrations were almost identical, although done by different artists. This indicated to police that she was using the same made-up suspect description in both cases. McKenzie said he gains great satisfaction from using the sketches as a complement to other investigative tools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone is a victim of a crime and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way you can draw the information out of them to create a graphic image of their memory ... it can help solve cases.â&#x20AC;?

the southeast of the country. The problem of orphaned children Uganda faces are well known, as civil war and rampant AIDS have decimated the country. About half of the nation’s population is now under 15 years of age, so the need for educators and people who can help mold the country’s future leaders is obvious. For four months Schmidt worked with some 60 kids at the Lighthouse School, who range in age from 10 to 21. There were just three supervisors, so she had a busy time, whether it was teaching, making sure the boys chopped firewood to cook dinner, or doing recreational activities. They loved creating art, or surfing the Internet on

Schmidt’s laptop – using Facebook to reconnect with people who had been through Jesus Village. The country is lush and green and beautiful. But electrical service is off-and-on. When it rains – deluges that make B.C.’s West Coast rains look like mere mist – the roads turn to mud. Clothes get filthy, making all the hand washing more drudgery. Plumbing is generally hit and miss. The kids mostly live on beans and a maize porridge known as posho. When there’s a birthday celebration, and they get soda and cake, it is truly a treat. Schmidt loves the spirit of the people, but when a boy from the school was caught committing an act of petty larceny, he faced the traditional vigi-

He escaped and hid at the school, but not without warnings of what his fate would be if the aggrieved got their hands on him. And the poverty is acute. There is no way all the children would be fed without foreign aid. Uganda Jesus Village pays $200 per term for 12 students who have graduated to high school, at a nearby boarding school which starts in Grade 8. There are

three terms in a school year, and with most Ugandans earning less than $100 per month, these kids would be unlikely to further their education past Grade 7 without Uganda Jesus Village. She said the Lighthouse School has faced closure, and relies on volunteers to keep it going. In need of a stable income, the school is looking at using farmland that they presently use to grow some of their own food – maize

Aid workers can experience frustration, and Schmidt said it is important not to be too driven by one’s own agenda. “If you just go to love and serve, you’re going to be fine.” Her church in Abbotsford, The River, donated about $3,800 for the school, and she made a presentation to the congregation

recently, to let them know how far the staff at Lighthouse School were able to stretch their dollars. “I was pretty happy about what we were able to achieve,” she said. “That went a long way.” Schmidt has been personally sponsoring a Ugandan boy for about five years, giving $41 per month to support him, and she was able to see him in person for the first time. “It was really cool to meet him.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Goat traps woman in house

Do you support the carbon tax in B.C.?

Ha ha, we had two goats as pets, and had to pay extra on our home insurance in case they caused damage to the neighbour. We laughed because we thought they were joking, but obviously it happens ... lol.

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Arlene Fredeen

Do you feel it is fair to charge more for higher water usage?

I’m surprised this goat didn’t get more jail time than a murderer.

325 RESPONDED:

Jason Marten

YES: 50% NO: 50%

Jackie Girard Grabbed the goat and dragged next door and tied it up. Hmmmmm

Inking the deal made decades ago Kevin

Mills

My View I don’t ride a motorcycle. I’m not a member of a gang, nor have I been arrested or spent any time in jail – at least not in my adult life. I’ve never been in the military or played sports. I don’t even classify myself as tough. However, last week, I kept a promise. No, more like a vow or possibly a deal with Satan where I offered my skin rather than my soul – I went out and got a tattoo. I knew my parents would cringe, I’m the last of their four children to get one. The only “clean child” they had left is now tainted. My wife, however, was thrilled. After all, she has six of her own. That’s the reality of the tattoo world; it’s no longer a symbol of rebellion or club membership. They don’t just belong on convicts and Harley riders. Nurses and doctors, business people

and homemakers, young moms and grandpas – they’ve all joined the tattoo club. For many, they are pieces of art – colourful, artistic expressions – and your body is the canvas. Some just like an image, or identify with a phrase. For my wife, they all symbolize something important in her life – a child, a job, or even our marriage day. Her latest is of a cartoon smiling monkey. It represents our grandson, Gavin, who we have nicknamed, surprisingly enough, “Monkey.” That’s the point of a tattoo. It’s not to be taken lightly. If you plan to permanently mark your body you had better be darn sure the image you choose will remain important until the end of your days. Whether it’s a tribal band, a “tramp stamp” on a woman’s back, or a ﬂesheating zombie lurching its way across your chest, it has to be signiﬁcant to you. That’s probably why so many people have hearts that say “Mom!” and why so many men regret getting their girlfriend’s or ex-wive’s named carved into their skin. Carved is the wrong word. Poked is better.

Poked into your skin, thousands upon thousands of times with little electric needles. That was always my excuse not to get a tattoo. “I’m a diabetic,” I’d tell my wife. “I take enough needles.” But the truth is I was just waiting for the right moment.

It wasn’t the pain, it was the timing. A year and a half ago, the timing became right. I wasn’t worried about the pain. Try as my wife would to goad me into doing it with playful taunts of “You couldn’t handle it,” I knew the truth. Now, I know she’s gone through childbirth, but other than that, she’s a wimp when it comes to minor aches and pains. Surely, if my wife could handle it, so could I. Just look at my colourful medical history – six needles and four blood tests a day for the past 40 years, nine hand

operations, two eye surgeries, one nerve relocation operation and that little brain aneurism incident of six years ago. It wasn’t the pain, it was the timing. A year and a half ago, the timing became right. In the end, I just sat there in the tattooist’s chair and let him work his magic. Art has always been magic to me because I can’t draw a straight stick man, let alone create a recognizable image. There was virtually no pain, at least none to make you wince, and the process was over in under two hours. It was a long time coming. I was 20 when I made my tattoo vow. I declared to the powers that be – good or evil – that if the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team ever won a Stanley Cup in my lifetime, I would tattoo their emblem on my skin. For awhile it looked as though my parents would get their wish and I’d die clean. But, 26 years after making the deal, it happened. In 2010, the Blackhawks ﬁnally kept up their end of the bargain. Last week, I ﬁnally kept up mine. Kevin Mills is a reporter with the Abbotsford News.

letters Water bill a ‘blatant ripoff’

I disagree with John Skorupa’s letter saying larger homes and families should pay more for water than others, in the Jan. 31 paper. How many others think this is a blatant ripoff ? Why are we one of the only communities to do this? Who gave council the right to impose this? I moved here six years ago because the costs made sense. It was worth it, even though my gas bill skyrocketed, my commute grew, my wife had

to quit her job and take a new, lower paying job here, and we both lost friends. Now I am regretting moving here and can’t afford to leave. Why? My house tax has skyrocketed, yet my house only went up $20,000. Now I am facing another $1000 a year for water, no matter how much my family of four saves water – buying a new front load washer, installing low-flush toilets, not flushing the toilet, not running water, not letting the kids play

As president of the Abbotsford Bingo Association, I would like to express my disappointment with the Abbotsford City Council meeting of Jan. 23. Council rejected a staff report favouring giving first reading to an application to allow the B.C. Lottery Corporation to increase the number of gaming machines within the Community Gaming Centre. The reasons for the rejections ranged from religion, to addicting concerns, to a mistaken belief that allowing additional machines would preclude Abbotsford from obtaining a casino. I am in possession of a letter from BCLC, as is the city, which clearly states that there is

no demand for a full casino in Abbotsford and also there are no existing plans to build one. This short-sighted decision, based in part on false information, precludes the charities involved from increasing their revenues, thereby limiting the services they are able to provide to the community. It also precludes the city from increasing the host

government revenue received from the facility, which is one of it’s primary non-property tax revenue sources. It also shows a lack of regard for the needs of the charities and the services they could have provided through this funding source, and for the input of the community, which might have been heard if this had properly been sent to a public hearing.

However, staff ’s report favouring giving a first reading for a primary liquor licence was passed. I am pleased to report that a public hearing will be held on Feb. 20, at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

A run for all ages SUBMITTED PHOTO

Runners take off in last year’s Run for Water, a fundraiser for clean drinking water in Ethiopia. Registration is open for the 2012 event, taking place on May 27.

Join the hunt to win! Four $500 cash prizes available.

Five years ago a small group of friends put on the first Run for Water in Abbotsford to raise social awareness for the water crisis in Africa. “When over 600 runners come out, it set off a spark in most of us to continue to grow Run for Water into a premiere running event that brings our community together while helping the people in the forgotten regions of Ethiopia,” said founding board member Ken Baerg. Run for Water

returns May 27. The family-friendly running event, the largest event of its kind in B.C., is projecting more than 4,000 participants. Supported by hundreds of volunteers, families and runners can participate in a five-kilometre, 10-km, a half or full marathon as well as the inaugural ultra marathon consisting of a 55K run through Discovery Trail. Families can enjoy face painting, balloon artists, bouncy castles and rock climb-

ing walls. The ultra marathon will be led by famous adventure runner Ray Zahab, who stars in the documentary “Running the Sahara.” Teachers are getting ready to share a specially developed curriculum on the water crisis in Africa, developed for Run for Water under a grant by Envision Financial. “We have over 20 schools who are going to go through the lesson plans where students will learn about

girls their age who walk for water instead of go to school,” said Betty Baerg, the run’s education director. “Last year, the students connected so much to these girls that they raised over $35,000 for the cause. That was enough for one village to receive a water system, and the girls in that village are now in school.” Any participating school can host a mini Run for Water on their campus in the weeks leading up to the run, with the support of Run for Water staff. The 10K, half and full marathon routes start and finish in Mill Lake Park. The Bostonqualifying marathon will be the crown jewel of Run for Water. “We have what has been called the flattest and fastest marathon route in Western Canada,” race director Kelly Neumann said. “Because the marathon is Boston-qualifying and we have a mild climate, we look for our numbers to climb based on the success of last year’s inaugural marathon.” For more information, go to runforwater.ca or email info@ runforwater.ca.

A fine arts first

Kelsey KLASSEN Abbotsford News

A former W.J. Mouat student with a passion for stage will soon be the first to graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in acting from Trinity Western University. Enrolled in her fifth year of the university’s School of the Arts, Media and Culture program, Abbotsford’s Karyn Guenther says she doesn’t regret the seemingly irresponsible decision. “It feels incredibly exciting to be the first BFA graduate from Trinity. I was following what I love to do,” said the actress. “I feel so unbelievably lucky to be graduating with training that I am passionate about.” Guenther, 22, is gracing the stage in the TWU production Bride on Credit. On now until Feb. 4 at Freedom Hall on campus, showing at 7:30 p.m., the romantic comedy by student playwright Cara Lowdermilk bares the

are no guarantees, but she has a wish list of companies and people to work for. In the meantime, she plans to study a number of different physical disciplines such as aerial silks and ballet. The actress says that while admittedly there

is the fear of not getting work, her time at TWU has prepared her to enter the professional world of theatre. Head online to twu. ca/academics/samc and to their upcoming events section for ticket information for Bride on Credit.

Agricultural grants are now available The Abbotsford Community Foundation has created a new Agricultural Enhancement Grants program. “Approximately $300,000 is available to provide grants of up to $50,000 this spring,” said Brian Loughlin, chair of ACF’s Agricultural Enhancement Grants Committee. The 2012 granting program will focus on projects that enhance agriculture in Abbotsford through education, and advocacy to increase awareness about the contribution agriculture makes to the economy, community, families and health, he said. The committee worked together during a strategic planning process, to determine the focus for the granting program this year, and met with members of local agriculture educational organizations. It was clear there would be opportunities for organizations to work together on some innovative and impactful projects, said Susan McAlevy, executive director of the foundation. “Non-profits, industry groups, companies and individuals can all submit applications,” she said. “We have developed what we believe is a comprehensive – but not overly onerous – application process, that begins with the completion of a letter of intent, briefly describing the project.” The granting program will fund up to 50 per cent of any project to a maximum of $50,000 and while the remaining funding can include in-kind funding like volunteer hours or donated materials, at least 25 per cent of this portion must be in cash, she said. The deadline for the Foundation to receive letters of intent is March 15. For information email smcalevy@abbotsfordcf.org or call 604-850-3755.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hip to be snipped

The BC SPCA is urging pet guardians and all animal lovers to do their part to help end the tragedy of pet overpopulation in British Columbia. The non-profit animal welfare society is highlighting the benefits of Lorie spaying and neutering for pets during Spay/Neuter Aw a r e n e s s Month in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The terrible reality is that there are still many more animals born in our province every year than there are homes for,â&#x20AC;? says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The SPCA and other rescue groups find homes for thousands of these abandoned or surrendered animals every year, but we know that there are so many more who suffer and die after being abandoned by their guardians. It is heartbreaking because this is a completely preventable problem.â&#x20AC;? She notes that in 2011 the BC SPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37 branches took in more than 32,000 abandoned, neglected, injured and abused animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We find that with many pet guardians it is attitude, rather than cost, that prevents them from having their animals sterilized,â&#x20AC;? says Chortyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They love their pets, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that by not having them spayed or neutered they may be impacting their petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life and the bond they could be sharing.â&#x20AC;? Some of the benefits

of spaying and neutering include: Q Decreased aggression. Neutering generally reduces aggressive behaviours in pets. Neutered dogs are calmer and less likely to bite, attack or get

Chortyk

Paw Prints into altercations at the dog park. Neutered cats donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the drive to mark and protect their territory and are less likely to spray or get into cat fights; Q Calmer, happier pets. Female cats go in and out of heat every three weeks

between January and November. In addition to preventing unwanted litters, spaying your cat will reduce her desire to escape to find a mate, spraying or inappropriate elimination, howling and attracting unwanted male cats onto your property; Q Increased health. Spaying or neutering your pet reduces the likelihood of them developing uterine, ovarian and testicular cancers; Q Good overall pet care. Having your pet sterilized also provides an opportunity to have other important health procedures performed, as necessary, such as teeth cleaning;

Q It is the perfect time to get an ID tattoo or microchip. In SPCA shelters, only 11 per cent of cats are returned to their guardians, mainly because they lack identification â&#x20AC;&#x201C;compared to a return rate for dogs of 65 percent. If cost is a concern, check with your local SPCA. It provides assistance to lowincome pet guardians where possible and many communities have low-cost spay/ neuter funds administered through the local government. For more information on spaying and neutering your pet, visit spca.bc.ca. Lorie Chortyk is the general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA.

SURGE PROTECTION PROTECTING YOUR ENTIRE HOME RIGHT AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL If you are one of the many Lower Mainland homeowners who recently suffered a power outage as a result of weather or utility grid problems, you may also be dealing with damaged appliances or electronic equipment.

• FACT: Following a power outage, it is not uncommon for a damaging surge of electricity to enter your home when the power is restored. A good analogy of this is the pressure built up in a garden hose when the tap is turned on, and the hose nozzle is suddenly opened. • FACT: It costs approximately $8,000 to $10,000 to replace the electronic equipment in the average BC home. • FACT: Power bars are a good idea, but have limited use as they can not be installed on many key (and most expensive) appliances such as the range, fridge, laundry machines or furnace, to name just a few. • FACT: The average home experiences approximately 20+ small internal energy spikes daily, created by appliances cycling on and off. These small surges cause pitting or tiny holes in the electronic circuit boards of appliances and entertainment equipment, resulting in a signiﬁcantly shortened service life.

When your last will is not the last word

So, you’ve made your will and are comforted in knowing that your estate will be distributed the way you want it to be. This is not always so. In some instances in B.C., the court can change the disposition of an estate, under the Wills Variation Act. While we have experienced many different scenarios, a Brian common example of a wills variation case arises as a result of divorce and a second marriage. For example, a couple with children divorces and the husband then remarries and raises a second family. He may have little or no contact with the children of the first marriage. On his death, his will may provide only for his second family. The Wills Variation Act allows the children of the first marriage to start court proceedings and hopefully share in their father’s estate. If you think you can just leave a small amount to a spouse or child so they will have no claim against your estate, think again. A small bequest in a will may not prevent a spouse or child from successfully varying the will. If a person dies leaving a will that does not, in the court’s opinion, make adequate provision for the proper maintenance and support of the deceased’s spouse or children, the court may order that a redistribution be made out of the deceased’s estate that it thinks is adequate, just and equitable in the circumstances. A deceased who went through a number of relationships might have more than one spouse, since the act recognizes both marriage and common-law relationships. There is no specific formula that a judge might

use to establish redistribution. Moral obligations are a consideration; that is, what is a reasonable expectation of what a reasonable person would do based on contemporary community standards? Those standards have varied over the years and will continue to evolve. Fifty years ago, an interracial marriage or same gender relationship would have been adequate grounds to exclude a child from the estate, but not today. The relationship of the deceased to the spouse or child seeking to vary the will is also a factor. There may be perfectly valid reasons to exclude someone from the will, such as a child who has led a criminal lifestyle. On the other hand, a divorce may have led to bitter feelings and alienation between the parent and the child. Depending on the circumstances this would not necessarily prevent a child from a successful challenge under the act. The size of the estate is also a consideration; it may not be large enough for a judge to order a redistribution of the estate. There are often perfectly legitimate reasons to exclude a spouse or child from the estate, and those reasons can be set out in the will or an ancillary document. An experienced estate planning lawyer can assist you with preparing your estate, making it difficult or impossible to challenge it. Brian Loughlin is a partner with RDM Lawyers.

Before it could begin its journey to Sick status, the transmission was rebuilt and the drivetrain was brought up to Honda Way standards. The parts department was then deployed to look for anything that require Genuine Honda parts to complete the masterpiece!

What you see below is strictly a conceptual ‘ look ‘ which may take on an alternative ﬁnal look after all is said and done. The Fix Auto Collision and HRR crew are busy dialing it in for the anticipated reveal... real soon.

Brent Paquette had two months to think about his berth in the Case Construction Triple Threat Rodeo in Las Vegas. His 580 wide-track backhoe, the backbone of his owner-operator business, was stolen around Remembrance Day of last year. Since then, Paquette has been off work and unable to find an affordable replacement, so the backhoe operator has only been able to visualize his trial in the skills contest and plan for the future. The rodeo, which ran Jan. 23-24 as part of the 2012 World of Concrete show, consisted of a series of skill-testing challenges using a skid steer loader, wheel loader and loader/backhoe - three machines commonly used in construction and landscaping. Home from the twoday event, Paquette says his first time competing in the rodeo was phenomenal. The personal highlights

Backhoe operator Brent Paquette competing in the Triple Threat Rodeo in Las Vegas on Jan. 23. started the first evening, when each operator was called one by one in front of the World of Concrete crowd and introduced. Each of the 59 competitors had earned their place in the Triple Threat Rodeo by winning earlier competitions locally. Paquette, who owns Get-RRR-Done Backhoe Services and has been operating equipment for 25 years,

was the top contender in the local competition in Langley in May of last year, earning him a spot in the North American finals. The most talented of these operators are able to manoeuvre unwieldy earthmoving equipment through obstacle courses.

backhoe and carefully removing them from inside the small spaces without jostling the ball markers. The goal is to have the quickest time, with credit given for clean runs and time added for errors such as the balls hitting the ground. Narrowed from a field of 1,500 participants in 54 events across the United States and Canada, Paquette and the other semi-finalists vied for the title of North American champion and the grand prize of a new Case TR270 track loader and Towmaster trailer for their sponsoring company. The winner took home a new Dodge Ram. Paquette said prior to the event he was warned that the rodeo would have bigger challenges than what he was accustomed to, but he enjoyed the heightened competition and placed 21st overall. His operating experience dates back to his childhood on his grandfather’s farm, and Paquette said he had been around machines all his life. He is already looking forward to the next contest, taking place in the summer, and its grand prize trip. As that nears, Paquette has accepted that his main source of income is gone and is contemplating heading back to the northern mining camps. Already a veteran of the Yukon camps, Paquette started GetRRR-Done when the mine he worked for closed in the collapse of the stock market in 2008. One month after he moved home and purchased his own backhoe, he got a call asking him to come back. He stayed in Abbotsford to work on establishing his business. Now it looks like he’ll be making the trip north. Potentially returning to his original camp, located roughly eight miles from Juneau, Alaska, on the Canadian side, Paquette expects to be running excavators or working on Bobcats - standard fare for someone who can hold their own in a contest after nine weeks without practice.

Hawks star beat learning disability to earn university scholarship

Flames sign, recall Heat sniper

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

On Wednesday, when W.J. Mouat Hawks running back Devin Logan signed a letter of intent to seal a football scholarship from the University of Saskatchewan, it was a tribute to his considerable athletic ability. But it was so much more than that. It was a success story for the local school system, an homage to patient parenting, and a salute to Loganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own persistence in the face of a serious learning disability that could have derailed everything a long time ago. As a youngster, anger defined Loganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality. He struggled to comprehend and communicate, and in frustration heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d lash out at those around him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of issues,â&#x20AC;? his stepmom Tanya said, recalling Devin at age six. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was very, very angry. This was something he had no choice in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was violent. He never hit me, but he would hit Frank (his dad). It was awful. I took three months off work to focus on him.â&#x20AC;? Two factors combined to turn things around for the youngster. During his Grade 1 year at Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Poplar Elementary, sympathetic school administrators steered him to the behaviour management program at McMillan Elementary. It was there that he learned coping mechanisms to deal with what was eventually diagnosed as receptive-expressive language disorder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for me to understand questions,â&#x20AC;? Logan explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mind will shift it around and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get confused really easily.â&#x20AC;? Just as importantly, Logan gained a physical outlet when his parents registered him

Kolanosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comeback complete Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

AAA players of the year Bobby Rau (2005) and John Smeysters (2006). Logan boasts blazing speed, but Kelly said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his vision that sets him apart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He reads the field extremely well,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He sees the spots heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to go to, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great at avoiding tackles and getting as much out of each run as is there.â&#x20AC;? Loganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision extended to his schoolwork. Prior to Grade 11, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been taking abridged courses

If Krys Kolanos's comeback story were a movie script, it would be the feel-good hit of the year. The 30-year-old forward, sidelined for a season and a half due to major hip surgery before catching on with the Abbotsford Heat last fall, is back in the NHL. He signed a two-year, two-way contract on Wednesday with the Calgary Flames, the Heat's parent club, and was immediately recalled. For the Calgary native, returning to the NHL with his hometown team is the stuff of storybooks. "It's very special to me," he said. "I've KOLANOS been going to Flames games ever since I was a little tyke, watched them win the Cup when I was eight. "I've had a career that's been sidetracked by injuries, so I'm grateful. It feels right to be doing it in this setting." After undergoing microfracture hip surgery in the spring of 2010, Kolanos attended Heat training camp in September on a tryout basis and earned an AHL contract. He paced the Heat with 40 points (18 goals, 22 assists) in 34 games, a total good for 10th in the AHL, and was a participant in Monday's AHL all-star game in Atlantic City, N.J.

W.J. Mouat Hawks running back Devin Logan, pictured above in action against the Mount Douglas Rams, was the second-leading rusher in the B.C. AAA league last season. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ticketed for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies. in football â&#x20AC;&#x201C; first with the Abbotsford Falcons community program, and later with the Chilliwack Giants. The aggressive nature of the game was therapeutic, and little by little, his anger issues ebbed away. Over the years, Logan would grow into one of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top running backs. Last fall, he finished second in the B.C. AAA league with 1,280 rush yards and 18 touchdowns, en route to all-province honours. The 5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10â&#x20AC;?, 190-pounder also led the league with two punt return TDs and

added another major on a kickoff return. Hawks head coach Denis Kelly said Logan is the second-most talented running back heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked with over 25 years at Mouat, next to Boseko Lokombo. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely high praise. Lokombo, a class of 2009 grad who is currently starring at linebacker with the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oregon Ducks, is one of the brightest football prospects B.C. has ever produced. And Mouat has had a plethora of talented ball-carriers over the years, including recent

Lions win in Kelowna Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Terrific team defence powered the Yale Lions senior girls basketball squad to the title at the Best of the West tournament in Kelowna last weekend. The Lions knocked off South Delta and host Kelowna en route to the final, where they blasted Vernon 92-45. The result propelled the Yale girls back into the B.C. AAA rankings, at No. 10. Yale point guard Kendra Arnold picked up tournament MVP honours, while Sara Kurath and Hailey Kendall were named first team all-stars. “We played great defence,” Lions coach Euan Roberts enthused. “We really went after the ball. We got in some foul trouble, but that’s just because we were being aggressive.” The Lions rode the momentum from the tourney to a pair of league wins this week over Terry Fox of

Goalie Irving back with Heat

From A26

To facilitate his callup, the Flames upgraded him to a two-way deal on Wednesday with an average annual value of $525,000 at the NHL level. Q As Kolanos was on his way up, goalie Leland Irving was returning to the Heat. Irving had been with the Flames since Dec. 4, when he was summoned to fill in for backup keeper Henrik Karlsson, who had suffered a knee injury. During his first career NHL stint, Irving was solid, posting a 1-1-2 record to go with a .908 save percentage and a 3.67 goals-against average. Irving and Danny Taylor comprise the new goalie tandem for the Heat, who opened a three-game road trip on Thursday against the Rochester Americans. That result was unavailable at press time.

Tributes to family and friends

VanderVeen, Gay (nee: Boonstra-Pranger) Oct. 3, 1938 - Jan. 31, 2012

Gay was born in Friesland Netherlands. At the age of 19 she followed her heart and immigrated to Canada to be with the love of her life Jerry. They married in Canada on October 17, 1958. Gay and Jerry bought their first dairy farm on Dixon Road in Sumas Prairie and later in 1968 moved with their four children to Fore Road in Matsqui where the family farm continues to thrive. Gay is survived by her loving husband of 53 years Jerry, children Andy (Cindy), Grace (Doug), Jeanette (Glen), Allen (Tracey), nine grandchildren Keith (Jamie), Travis, Joshua, Jared, Danelle, Justin, Paige, Clayton, and 2 great-grandchildren Morgan and Coleton. In 1993 Gay and Jerry built a new home and moved to Page Road where they lived together until Gay’s move to the DeltaView Habilitation Centre in December, 2010. Throughout her life family meant everything. Her door was always open and the coffee pot always on. She enjoyed her Thursday night bowling team, biking, knitting and had a flare for entertaining. Gay embraced life and brought joy to many including the caring people at DeltaView where she struggled with Alzheimers. Gay passed away on January 31, 2012. Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2012 at 1:00pm at Cascade Community Church (Salvation Army) located at 35190 Delair Road, Abbotsford. The family would like to thank the extraordinary staff at DeltaView who treated her with genuine love and care. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made in her name to the Alzheimers Society.

Albert Jacob Willms passed into the presence of His Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on Monday, January 30, 2012 with his family at his side. Al was born to Abram and Maria (Unger) Willms on August 21, 1935 on the family farm near Kelstern, Saskatchewan. Al loved the wide open prairie but after many discouraging crop failures his family decided to move to Surrey BC when Al was 12 years old. He soon became acclimatized to the situation and by the time he graduated from Princess Margaret High School he had been active in all the sports programs. He pursued teaching as a career spending many happy years among young students as a classroom teacher, a band instructor and also as a principal in the Delta School District. Al married Alice Sawatzky and together they raised their family in Surrey later moving to Abbotsford to spend some time growing raspberries. Al never lost his love to work with young people and so in time he found himself at Trinity Western University working as the Director of Financial awards, developing many wonderful friendships. In his retirement years Al gained a lot of satisfaction and pleasure in interacting with his children and grandchildren, woodworking and singing baritone in the Watchmen Four quartet. Al loved the Lord and worked in the church in various capacities spending nearly twenty years as a choir conductor at Kennedy Heights Church in Delta while living there and in more recent years with the seniors at Northview. We will miss “Big Al” as he was affectionately known to many. His kind, loving ways, quick wit and easy laughter had an impact on many. We will miss him so much but we cherish the memories and the knowledge that to be ‘absent from the body is to be present with the Lord’. Al is survived by his loving wife, Alice, his children Colin (Melody), Jennifer (Carlton Haak) and Andrew (Dana) along with his seven grandchildren, Nathan and Megan Willms, Jared and Daniel Haak and Eva, Micah and Joshua Willms, three sisters Mary Voth, Olga Willms and Linda Willms, as well as many dear relatives and friends. Al was predeceased by his parents, two brothers, Abe and Henry, and one sister Helen Priebe. Visitation will be held on Sunday, February 5 from 6 - 8 pm at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Rd. Abbotsford. A Memorial Service will be held on Monday, February 6 at 11:00 am at Northview Community Church, 32040 Downes Rd, Abbotsford. In lieu of ﬂowers donations to Open Doors with Brother Andrew Inc. at : www.opendoorsca.org would be gratefully appreciated. Online condolences may be left at: www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com.

My response to them is “Good Luck”. I really do not know what a balanced life looks like. However, I do know how to prioritize my life.

People were overwhelmed in Jesus’s day. People were tired and restless. Their focus was not clear. Their priorities were off. My father said to me “Son, if you have food, shelter, and clothing you are a rich man.”
