‘Guilty’ in road rage case Judge finds Brent Parent responsible for Abbotsford man’s death Dan FERGUSON Black Press
Saying he didn’t believe the testimony of Brent Parent, a B.C. Supreme Court judge convicted the 42-year-old Langley man of three road-rage-related charges in the death of Silas O’Brien, 21, of Abbotsford on March 13, 2008. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Terence A. Schultes told the Thursday hearing that Parent’s version of events made no sense, calling it “inconsistent with common sense
and ordinary human experience” and adding that he found it to “ring completely hollow.” Much of Parent’s testimony, Schultes said, was “a fairly clumsy effort” by the accused to distance himself from his actions. Schultes said Parent was using his “large and powerful truck to bully others on the road” the evening O’Brien and his friends were driving through Langley on their way to Seattle and a vacation flight to Hawaii. Parent, who was driving a diesel Ford F350, became enraged when he thought that
the Chevy Silverado O’Brien was riding in had deliberately flashed its high beams at him. He forced the pickup carrying O’Brien and his friends off the road and into a ditch, then returned to the scene where O’Brien was run down and killed. Parent said it was all an accident, and that he did not deliberately try to force the other truck into the ditch. However, the judge dismissed that, noting forensic evidence showed the Parent truck made contact with Continued on A4

Man had gang links, connections to Abbotsford Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A man linked to a group that Abbotsford Police have said is the dominant gang in the community was gunned down Tuesday evening in Vancouver. Media reports say Sandip (Dip) Duhre, 36, was the victim of a fatal shooting at the Bar One restaurant inside the Wall Centre in the 1000 block of Burrard Street. Abbotsford Police were not yet commenting on the death. Vancouver Police have said they do not yet have any suspects and are continuing their investigation. In October 2010, Abbotsford Police named the Duhre Group as the prevalent gang operating in the city, filling in a gap left by the arrests of several prominent Red Scorpions, including the Bacon brothers. Sandip and his two brothers – Balraj, 38, and Sandeep (Paul), 35 – grew up in North Vancouver. Sandip is believed to most recently have been living in Surrey, but has also been known to visit the Abbotsford area. Several drug arrests in Abbotsford in 2010 and 2011

A digitally altered photo of the fatal shooting in Vancouver which took the life of Sandip Duhre. involved people believed to be linked to the Duhre Group. In September 2011, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit’s gang task force issued a public warning that anyone linked to the Duhre or Dhak groups could be at risk, following the shooting of associate Jujhar Singh Khun-Khun in Surrey. That incident was investigated as possible retaliation for a shooting in Kelowna that

killed Abbotsford’s Jonathan Bacon – a purported Red Scorpion – and wounded a Hells Angel and Independent Soldier, as well as two young women. Sandip’s most recent trouble with the law was in Surrey in March 2011, when he was charged with fleeing from a police officer and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. That case was slated to go to trial in Surrey provincial
court on Nov. 5 of this year. He was previously convicted of uttering threats, obstructing a police officer, and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Sandip was also the alleged target of a foiled hit outside a Surrey convenience store in May 2005, when his friend Dean Mohammed Elshamy was killed. Sandip’s brother, Balraj, has been the subject of three targeted shootings: in 2003, when he was shot in the face in Surrey; in July 2005 while he was in his bulletproof car; and in October 2005 when he was wounded while eating at a Vancouver Vietnamese restaurant. Sandip was also reported to be the among the targets of contracted hits that never transpired in 2010. The only criminal history for the middle Duhre brother, Paul, involved a 1996 case in which he was charged with obstruction of justice along with his brothers. Several others were also charged, including well-known gangster Bindy Johal, who was murdered in a Vancouver nightclub in December 1998, but the case never went to trial.
the other vehicle three times in a few seconds before the crash. “Mr. Parent deliberately initiated the physical contact to assert the dominance of his vehicle,” Schultes said. Parent’s claim that he swerved his truck toward the accident scene as he approached to illuminate it with his headlights was also rejected by the judge, who said it was an attempt “to intimidate or frighten” the three young men who had climbed out of the overturned Silverado. Schultes also noted Parent’s failure to phone police about the accident, calling it “telling.” However, the judge accepted Parent’s claim that he did not deliberately run down O’Brien and that he left the scene without realizing it. Schultes said there were also inconsistencies in the testimony of O’Brien’s two friends who were in the truck with him, but they were
not enough to prevent him from finding Parent guilty of criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving and failure to stop at an accident with a vehicle. The judge acquitted Parent of one charge of dangerous driving causing death, citing the legal principle that a person cannot be convicted twice for the same offence. A fifth charge, an additional count of leaving the scene of an accident, was stayed because prosecutor Donna Ballyk had earlier conceded that Parent did not know he’d run down O’Brien. Parent, who is not in custody, will be sentenced in April. Outside court, O’Brien’s parents expressed relief at the verdict and thanked the judge and Crown prosecutors. “It’s done,” mother Michelle O’Brien said. “It’s the only way it could have gone,” father Rodger said. They said the family plans to attend the sentencing hearing.

Tow truck operators braved severe elements on Wednesday, recovering vehicles from deep drifts. This car was partially buried on Whatcom Road on Sumas Prairie.

Winter went wild for a week
winds and blowing snow resulted in three elementaries – Matsqui, Upper Sumas and Barrowtown – being shut down at about 10 a.m. Parents were then notified and many picked up their children, while about 25 were transported by school bus to W. A. Fraser middle school. All three schools were closed to students and staff on Thursday, due to continued poor road conditions. Stephen said transportation and facilities staff check bus routes and schools starting at 4:30 a.m. on questionable weather days. A decision on whether to close schools is usually made by 5:30. “(Wednesday) morning, the conditions appeared acceptable. Obviously, the situation deteriorated later in the morning in the areas around those three schools.” He said the final decision to send students to school resides with parents/guardians. Stephen also reminded parents to ensure their children are dressed warmly during inclement weather, as schools are sometimes cooler than normal.
Stephen also responded to comments from parents who were upset that their children had to go outside at recess and lunch. He said the decision on whether a school has an “inside” or “outside” day is left to the principal or vice-principal. “Throughout the district this week, students at many schools were both inside and outside. Some schools had inside-only days.” He said that yesterday many students were showing up at school with slide mats and boards, expecting to be outside. University of the Fraser Valley campuses in Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Mission were also shut down later in the day – at about 1 p.m. – due to the deteriorating weather. Meanwhile, Abbotsford Police officers were kept busy tending to stranded motorists and abandoned cars. Const. Ian MacDonald said that at the height of the whiteout, “numerous” drivers and passengers were rescued from vehicles that were stuck in the snow. They were taken to “warm centres” – Upper Sumas elementary and the Abbotsford Recreation Centre – to make arrangements for pickup. He said there were seven reported collisions, but only one

involved more than one vehicle. In that incident, a driver ran into a pile of plowed snow on Harris Road and then spun into the path of an oncoming vehicle. None of the collisions resulted in serious injuries. Many drivers did not have proper tires for the conditions, he added. MacDonald said police reserved their 4x4 trucks for calls to outlying areas, and even brought into duty the 2004 H2 Hummer that is typically used only in anti-gang presentations to youth. The extreme conditions caused bumper-to-bumper traffic between Chilliwack and Abbotsford during the morning commute, and resulted in police closing down Whatcom Road south of Highway 1 to Vye Road for the day. Treacherous driving was also reported along Highway 11 and Vye Road. Winds hit velocities of between 60 km/h and 80 km/h, and temperatures dropped to -11 C. Today (Friday) was expected to bring five to 10 cm of snow, changing to freezing rain in the afternoon, with a high of -1 C and a low of -8 C, followed by warmer temperatures and rain into next week.

Slot machines will again be a topic of debate at city hall. According to Art Villa, coordinator of business development for Playtime Gaming, council will discuss a bylaw proposal allowing Abbotsford’s Chances Community Gaming Centre to increase the number of slot machines from 125 to about 300 at its Peardonville Road location. While the agenda has yet to be released by the city, Villa is confident the slot issue will be included. Councillors could also discuss Chances’ application to acquire a liquor primary licence. “We’re the only gaming facility in the province without one,” said Villa. Last year, Villa made

Ten per cent of the net gaming proceeds from Chances goes to the City of Abbotsford. Villa said this year, that figure will be about $900,000 and with more machines, would pass the $1 million mark. Another portion of the gaming revenue goes to Playtime’s partner, the Abbotsford Bingo Association. That money is distributed by the association to local charitable groups.

A car plows through deep water at the corner of Gladys and Essendene avenues, flooded by a broken water main on Thursday afternoon.
Downtown flood
Broken water main submerges streets
A broken water main caused flooding in downtown Abbotsford on Thursday afternoon. A huge puddle, almost too deep for a car to drive through, formed at the corner of Gladys and Essendene avenues at about noon. Water accumulated rapidly, and covered the street in less than an hour. However, it also drained quickly when the water was shut off. City director of utility operations Len Stein said a six-inch line broke near the Five Corners intersection,
probably because the cast-iron pipe cracked in cold temperatures. Only two businesses were without water as the main was repaired, which Stein estimated would take four to six hours. Stein said city workers removed gravel carried down Essendene by the flooding, much of it accumulating in front of the Fraser Valley Inn. The crews also salted the wet streets and sidewalks in the area to ensure sub-zero temperatures would not create icy conditions.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
School closures
Were you prepared for this week’s extreme winter conditions?
Abbotsford schools should have been closed today (Wednesday) as the conditions outside are dangerous. Jenninator Nelson
To answer, go to abbynews.com
I am very disappointed that the school board kept the schools open today. With a wind chill forecast of -24 C, they ought to have been kept inside at home, not to mention the fact that the parents need to be encouraged to stay off the roads when conditions are so terrible! Rad Carrie FlameGurl Gambill
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED: Should the city use $2.3 M in gas tax funding to pursue a $3.3 M trail plan through Abbotsford?
Good grief – be thankful you don’t live somewhere else in the province where the temperatures are a lot lower than that and they have a lot more snow – life carries on. Leanne Enns
256 RESPONDED:
YES: 20% NO: 80%
God forbid your children actually have to brave the weather and build character. Eduardo Correa Lima
A personal milestone in the new year Pauline
Buck
My View It’s not too late to talk about New Year’s. For me the New Year hasn’t started yet. It won’t until the end of January. I don’t usually get excited about the regular New Year’s. In the past I’ve done all the traditional stuff: made resolutions, wise and ridiculous (that 10 pounds just won’t quit) and gone to the crazy parties with the hats and horns. But I’ve never really been a devotee of the fact that the next day has a totally new date. My birthday is toward the end of January, and that’s when I usually do my serious reflecting about the new date, especially if it’s a significant birthday; one with a 0 on the end. Or in this year’s case, one that ends with five. This year, on the morning of my personal New Year I will have a totally
new handle. I will wake up Pauline Buck Senior Citizen. Also, I will no longer be Pauline Buck, communications manager for a health care foundation. I will be Pauline Buck, retired – unemployed – out of work – lady of leisure – house mouse and caregiver. Many people take this turning point in their lives hard. For me, I have never been so excited. Retirement means so many new beginnings, and so much that is fabulous – starting with the fact that I will no longer have to join the early morning commuters on Highway 1 crawling across the construction zone that is the Port Mann Bridge. And every evening I won’t have to reverse the process. My life will pick up three hours a day. I feel younger already! And when the weather man calls for 20 cm of snow, which I know will prevent my car from leaving the driveway easily, I will run for my hidden stash of bon bons and curl up in front of the fireplace. Then there’s the part where I can see my grandsons more during the week –
maybe pick them up from school sometimes and spoil them at Dairy Queen. In grandmother parlance, they call this revenge – get the kids hopped up on sugar then send them home. ( I never said I will be a good person. Just a retired person.)
Many people take this turning point in their lives hard. For me, I have never been so excited. But to me, the most important part about being retired will be the fact that I can stay home and look after my husband. Two and a half years ago, he was diagnosed with dementia and his downhill slide has been rapid. Initially, I could leave him all day when I went to work. Then I needed to enrol him in adult daycare two days a
week; then organize in-home care for the other two days each week that I worked. My heartbreak, other than my loss of the man he was, was that 40 years ago when I started my career I had to take my daughter to daycare. To end my working days taking my husband to the adult equivalent was more than I could handle. I am thankful for the tremendous support we received from Fraser Health’s excellent program for caregivers, but I love being the stay-at-home caregiver/wife now. Bill will continue to go to his day program twice a week, because he loves the activities there and the friends he has. And I will spend those two days pursuing my interests. I’ll see friends, work on my photography and research how to grow a better vegetable garden. On non-daycare days, we may just loaf around all day – at least ’til planting season starts. This New Year is going to be wonderful. Pauline Buck is a local blogger who writes on urban/rural living topics.

Executors & Estate Settlement Seminar
Good Samaritans in Abby With several cars spinning out around me on the Whatcom Road hill, I was forced to the curb and stuck – waiting to be hit by one of the many fishtailing vehicles. In blizzard conditions and -20 C temperatures, a Good Samaritan approached my window and offered to help. He had a few people join him, thinking they could push me up the hill but we quickly realized that wouldn’t be possible.
He said he would stop traffic so I could back down the hill, even putting himself in jeopardy. I managed to go in reverse down Whatcom Hill but never got to say thank you. I noticed many other cars in the same situation and the Good Samaritans were helping them as well. Thank you so much. Wendie Baillieul
If you have appointed an executor for your estate, or are named as an executor for someone else’s estate, you should attend this complimentary seminar.
Please respect farm property I work and reside at K. Cooper’s farm on 2857 McMillan Road. In the last few days I’ve seen residents from surrounding areas entering into our farm to take advantage of the snowy hill for sledding or boarding fun. Whenever possible, I would meet with those individuals to say hi. I also let Ms. Cooper, the farm owner, know that some visiters were at her field. She’s happy to hear that people were enjoying their visits. I’d like to ask that those visitors be reminded that they
are entering into someone’s private property and a commercial farm. You wouldn’t like a stranger to enter into your back yard to jump on your tranpoline without your permission or without your knowledge. In our case, at least Ms. Cooper knows that people are on her field because of the snow. However, it would be nice if some of you were to call her or write to her to thank her for allowing you into her field. As well, we work hard everyday to ensure cows’ health
and safety. Please do not leave any debris or garbage behind you. Remember grass field is cows’ bed and food. We don’t want anything on the field that make cows sick or hurt. Please don’t break or damage the fences and barb wires as they are important for the cows’ safety. When you cross those fences around the farm, please behave as courteous guests would, and have fun. Thank you.

BCTF demands still ‘absurd’ says minister Tom FLETCHER Black Press
The B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest wage demand amounts to a 16 per cent increase over three years, and it won’t happen, Education Minister George Abbott said Tuesday. The BCTF tabled its proposal to the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, seeking a three-year cost-ofliving increase in the first year of a new contract, and six per cent in each of the two years after that. It’s the first specific wage demand to be released by the union after nearly a year of talks and nearly five months of work-to-rule action. Abbott told CKNW radio Tuesday he is skeptical of the BCTF’s estimate that its latest proposal will increase costs by $300 million more than current conditions. But even if it does, that’s still $300 million too much. “I have said, the minister of finance has said, government has said probably a thousand times over the almost a year now, that we’ve been negotiating that we have a net zero mandate for all public servants, including teachers,” Abbott said. “It’s nice perhaps when you take an absurd figure and make it a bit less absurd, but it is still above net zero by a huge margin.” BCTF president Susan Lambert said the new proposal also includes “modest improvements” to benefits and classroom preparation time.
“Yes, $300 million is a lot of money, but look at the scale of the endeavour,” she said. “It’s certainly a lot less than the cost of the [BC Place] stadium roof I see every day from my office window. And It’s less than the amount the B.C. Liberals have been able to take away from public education every year since 2002, when they illegally stripped our collective agreement of class-size and composition guarantees.”

Distracted driving deaths down, fines up Jeff NAGEL Black Press
A ticketing blitz against distracted drivers in the Lower Mainland is being credited for a steep drop in associated car
live
crash fatalities not seen elsewhere in B.C. Twenty-six motor vehicle deaths in 2011 were blamed on driver distraction in the Lower Mainland, down 42 per cent from
from
45 in 2010, the year B.C. banned the handheld use of cellphones and other devices. Other regions of B.C. where police weren’t as aggressive actually saw their fatali-
ties from distracted driving hold steady or worsen, according to RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont, the head of traffic services in the Lower Mainland. “We told all out traf-
fic units this was a top priority,” he said, adding three separate ticket campaigns were conducted last year. As a result, Greater Vancouver-area RCMP issued well over 20,000

tickets (with some still to be tabulated), Gaumont said, up from about 14,000 in 2010. “We’re going to hit it hard again in February,” he said. While Gaumont believes drivers are improving their behaviour, he said there’s a long way to go. “There’s still way too many people driving and looking at their cellphones and texting.” Karen Bowman, creator of the antidistracted driving website dropitanddrive. com, said she doesn’t
compared to the same period in the previous two years. The fatalities count all sources of driver distraction, not just the banned activities. But officials say it’s often difficult to tell for certain when distraction from cellphones or other gadgets have led to a crash. The statistics are therefore thought to under-report those crashes because police only report “communications/video equipment” as a definite contributing factor in a small number of

believe the problem is improving. “What we’re seeing out there on the road is an awful lot of people using their cellphones on a regular, repeated basis,” she said. “I see more people than I can count every single time I leave my home.” Bowman, whose eight-year-old daughter was injured by a distracted driver, said the legislation is a good step but does not seem to be enough to change behaviour. The provincial government released B.C.wide statistics estimating a 12 per cent drop in distracted driving fatalities for the first 18 months of the new law (up to July 2011),
cases. More than 46,000 B.C. drivers got $167 tickets for illegal use of a hand-held electronic device in the 18 months to July 31, 2011, and another 1,372 tickets were handed out for drivers who texted or emailed while driving. Motorists with hands-free gear still can’t text or email, nor is it legal to use electronic handheld devices while stopped at a red light. Drivers caught texting or emailing receive three penalty points in addition to the fine. Novice or learner drivers can’t use any device, including hands-free ones.

Scrimping on meds to save cash
Black Press
A new study has found B.C. patients are much likelier than other Canadians to refuse to take prescribed medicine because of the cost. The Canadian Medical Association Journal analyzed 2007 Statistics Canada survey data and found 17 per cent of B.C. residents did not follow prescriptions as directed in order to save money in the previous year. That was more than double the 7.2 per cent rate reported by Quebecers and well above the national average of 9.6 per cent of respondents who scrimped on their drugs to save cash. Failing to fill or refill a prescription on time or skipping doses can make treatment less effective and worsen chronic diseases, the journal noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did not expect that cost-related nonadherence would be highest in British Columbia,â&#x20AC;? the CMAJ research paper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This finding might result from the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highdeductible public drug plan or the high level of personal debt among its residents.â&#x20AC;? The CMAJ report said providing better coverage to improve prescription use would likely reduce spending in other
areas, such as acute care admissions to hospital. Health Minister Mike de Jong said he wants the disparity between B.C. and the rest of the country investigated further. Prescription drug costs are entirely
covered, with no deductible, for more than 270,000 lowincome patients in B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the poorest 10 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to take a closer look at why some residents re por t having challenges accessing
prescriptions,â&#x20AC;? de Jong said in a statement. He noted a 40-year-old on social assistance who racks up nearly $1,400 in drug costs to control hypertension should pay nothing out of pocket, while other
DR. ANISA QUADIR would like to inform all her long-time patients that she continues to practice at Clayburn Dental Centre with new and extended hours. MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY 7AM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 6 PM
categories of lowincome patients might pay around 30 per cent of their true drug cost themselves. NDP leader Adrian Dix argued B.C. could have done much
more to keep a lid on pharmaceutical prices, which have skyrocketed over the past 20 years, had it been more prepared to stand up to drug companies.
He noted B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pricing structure charges patients more for generic drugs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 35 per cent of brand name cost â&#x20AC;&#x201C; compared to just 25 per cent in Ontario and Quebec.

In BC Hydro’s smart meter lab in south Burnaby, staff know they still have an uphill battle in their ongoing bid to roll out their modernized smart power grid. It’s a steeper climb in some parts of the Lower Mainland than others. Less than 20 per cent of households have been switched over to the controversial wireless smart meters in Surrey, White Rock, the Tri-Cities and Maple Ridge. In contrast, 80 per cent of homes have now been converted in Richmond and Delta. The conversion rate is closer to 30 per cent in Vancouver, Burnaby and the North Shore, as well as the Mission, Abbotsford and Chilliwack areas in the Fraser Valley. Less than one per cent of B.C.’s 1.8 million households have balked at accepting smart meters in their homes. Hydro’s strategy is to work around the several thousand resisters. Meter installers go where they’re unopposed and continue their work. Eventually, officials say, everyone will have to be on board. “We have about 20 per cent of our system fully deployed now,” says Fiona Taylor, deputy project officer for the smart metering program. “We’ve had about 1,000 customers to date call with concerns and then change their views on that once we’ve had a chance to talk to them.” Many who object worry a new layer of wireless radiation penetrating their homes will harm their health. “There’s a significant amount of misinformation out there,” Hydro communications manager Cindy Verschoor said. “The meters are absolutely safe. They’ve been confirmed safe by the provincial health officer, the World Health Organization and Health Canada.” Smart meters do send brief wireless pulses out to the rest of the grid a few times
a day to relay power use data. Unlike FM radio transmitters that emit the same type of radiation continually, the smart meter transmissions add up to less than one minute of exposure per day (latest tests suggest it is a couple of seconds), at power levels several times lower than a cellphone. Hydro estimates the radio frequency (RF) exposure from standing next to a smart meter for 20 years is equivalent to a 30-minute cellphone call. A new statement on the exposure risk prepared and approved by the B.C. Cancer Agency at the request of provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall says there’s no convincing evidence of health risk from wireless technology. Smart meter transmission exposure rapidly diminishes with distance, it notes, reaching just one 100,000th of Health Canada’s limit at a

Real estate saw varied gains in 2011 Jeff NAGEL Black Press
Housing prices slumped in the second half of 2011, but real estate markets in the Lower Mainland
ended up for the year overall. The gain was bigger in the western half of the region, with the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver
reporting detached houses typically rose 11.2 per cent for the year to $887,000. The hottest gain was a 34 per cent jump in Port Moody, where
the Evergreen Line is now assured to pass through after funding for the SkyTrain extension was secured in recent months. Houses on the west side of Vancouver also gained 20 per cent, while the east side, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby and South Delta all saw benchmark houses
gain 13 to 16 per cent. Attached homes and condos gained more modestly, up roughly four per cent on average. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB), which covers Surrey, White Rock and North Delta, reported benchmark houses gained 3.3 per cent in 2011 to $523,000.
Townhouses and condos dipped, however, declining 2.1 per cent (to $315,000) and 1.2 per cent (to $237,000) respectively. “One trend from 2011 that is clear was the preference for single family homes,” FVREB president Sukh Sidhu said. “For the most part in our region, both sales and
prices of townhomes and condos either stayed on par with 2010 or decreased.” The hottest area was White Rock and South Surrey, where sales were strong and prices of benchmark detached houses climbed 10.8 per cent to $818,000. The most expensive cities in which to buy across the Lower Mainland remained the west side of Vancouver with benchmark detached houses nearing the $2 million level, West Vancouver houses at nearly $1.7 million and Richmond, at $1.07 million. Benchmark houses can still be found for under $600,000 in areas like Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, North Delta, Surrey, Port Coquitlam and Langley in Metro Vancouver. In the Fraser Valley, equivalent prices are $424,000 in Abbotsford and $344,000 in Mission. The Greater Vancouver statistics show the average residential property bought five years ago has gained almost 30 per cent since then. Detached houses performed slightly better (up 38 per cent) than condos or townhouses (both up just over 20 per cent) over the five years. Median prices of detached houses in the Fraser Valley are up 26 per cent over five years.

Students host seniors to lunch
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Yale students hosted seniors from Hallmark Retirement Living.
A group of Yale Secondary students hosted a turkey luncheon with all the trimmings last Saturday for residents from Hallmark Retirement Living. This event, which will become a tradition, is one of many this year in which Yale students connect to their community and give back. Last month Grade 9 students spread some Christmas cheer to the seniors of Bevan Lodge, and volunteered to work Christmas

Nearly 800,000 customers viewed these trees, and had the opportunity to vote for the best decorated. They chose the tree by Abbotsford Children’s Theatre, with second prize going to Lee’s Fine Jewellery. The hospice capital campaign has a goal of $7.5 million and has raised $5 million in donations and commitments to date.

What Parents Need to Know Dear Parents, The Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA), given to Grade 4 and 7 students, does not count towards your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marks. The results do not actively support your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning. s &3! TESTS ARE EXPENSIVE AND WASTE MONEY AT A TIME WHEN CUTS are being made. s &3! TESTS DO NOT HELP STUDENTS LEARN OR TEACHERS TEACH s &3! TESTS TAKE VALUABLE TIME AWAY FROM MORE MEANINGFUL LEARNING s 4HE DATA DOES NOT PROVIDE REAL HELP TO STUDENTS PARENTS OR schools. s 4HE RESULTS ARE MISUSED TO RANK SCHOOLS AND PROMOTE privatization. 4EACHERS IN !BBOTSFORD RECOMMEND THAT PARENTS WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR SCHOOL PRINCIPAL REQUESTING THAT YOUR CHILD BE EXEMPTED FROM the FSA. To learn more about your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress and the real assessments done in the classroom, talk to her or his teacher.

erty owners that snow clearing must include fire department access lanes, hydrants and sprinkler connections.
Fire prevention officer Larry Hooge said in the hours and days following previous snowstorms, fire crews found that
access to vital areas was sometimes hampered by snowbanks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some of which had been created by snowplows and loaders clearing parking lots and driveways. In one case, a hydrant was completely hidden under several feet of snow and required digging out with shovels before crews could connect a water supply to their engine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During an emergency response, eve r y second counts,â&#x20AC;? Hooge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Business owners, strata councils and property managers must ensure that access to buildings and their fire-protection equipment is maintained at all times in order to protect the lives of those living and working in their apartments or businesses.â&#x20AC;? Hooge said property owners should not wait until the last minute to plan for snow and ice control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During a snowstorm, shovels, icemelt and snow plows are often scarce commodities and planning well in advance just makes sense,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Heat weather wave of injuries All part of the peaks and valleys of a season: Coach Ward Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Like a pedestrian on windy Sumas Prairie trying to brace against a rare blast of winter, the Abbotsford Heat are trying to weather the storm right now. The local AHLers are working through a relentless wave of injuries – every time a wounded player returns, another goes down. On Thursday, for instance, forward Dustin Sylvester and defencemen James Martin were full participants at practice for the first time after extended absences. But their healing came hot on the heels of injuries that befell standout forwards Greg Nemisz and Jon Rheault last week. Friday, Jan. 20 and Saturday, Nemisz Jan. 21, 7 p.m. banged up Abbotsford Heat his shoulder vs. Charlotte Checkers last Tuesday Abbotsford Entertainment against the and Sports Centre Texas Stars, abbotsfordheat.com and his recovery will be measured in weeks rather than days. Rheault, who sat out Monday’s game at San Antonio with a variety of aches and pains, won’t be out as long, but he’s not expected back this weekend when the Heat host the Charlotte Checkers at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (Friday and Saturday, 7 p.m. both nights). Exacerbating the situation is the fact the NHL parent Calgary Flames are also a dinged-up unit at present – winger Curtis Glencross, with a knee injury, was the latest to go down – thus depriving the
GAMEOn
James Martin (3) and Dustin Sylvester (foreground) are returning to health for a banged-up Abbotsford Heat squad. Heat of the likes of Lance Bouma and Paul Byron. “We started out fine as far as injuries this season,” Heat head coach Troy Ward noted, “but Calgary’s managed a lot of injuries, and it’s had a domino effect here as well. We’ve sent guys up, and that’s our job, but at the same time, that just puts more strain on people down here. As they get tired going through the road trips, they get more susceptible to injuries. “We have a big picture of Mt. Baker in our locker room, and we look at it every day. We’re going through different peaks and valleys this season, and we know we occasionally have to set up camp and regain energy with bringing new people in to help us. That’s just how we’re approaching it.”
The Flames placed blueliner Brett Carson on waivers on Thursday, and if he clears, he’s expected to be sent to Abbotsford Friday. But it’s up front where the Heat need reinforcements most, with Nemisz, Rheault and Ryan Howse (shoulder) sidelined. They dressed just 10 forwards on Monday at San Antonio, and were down to nine at one point when Guillaume Desbiens went to the dressing room after absorbing a big hit. He returned, though. Ward said more moves could be on the way Friday. “It just depends on what happens up above us (in Calgary) – that’s what I’ve been dealing with all day on the phone,” he said. “We don’t have enough bodies, unless I play both Sylvester and Martin and use them both as forwards.”
Amy Williams Photography
Neither Sylvester (knee) or Martin (broken thumb) have suited up since before Christmas, though, and Ward isn’t sure whether either player is mentally ready to play yet. Sylvester, for his part, is raring to go. “I feel good, but it’s obviously up to the coaching staff,” he said. “I think I’m ready. “I’ve been working hard all week on my conditioning, so I don’t think that was a question. It’s just about getting back into practice mode and getting back out there with the guys, and it felt good.” Through all the adversity, the Heat (24-13-3-0) are still tied for second in the West Division, just two points back of the Oklahoma City Barons for first place in both the division and the Western Conference.

Tamanawis tops at tourney
Olympians make waves in New West Tobyn Smith and Robyn Nakano led the way for the Abbotsford Olympians at the Hyack Icebreaker Classic meet in New Westminster last week. Smith achieved provincial 'A' qualifying times in a pair of backstroke distances – the 100 metres and 200m – and broke seven club records in the girls eight-
and-under division. Nakano, swimming in the 12-and-under age group, won gold in the 200m back, swimming a national qualifying time of 2:32.23. She also finished second in the 400m free and third in the 200m individual medley and 200m free. Olympians swimmers Hannah Weinkauf (four
club records) and Connor Green (three club records) also turned in terrific performances at the Hyack meet. “This was a tough first meet of the year," Olympians head coach Adrienne Goodey pointed out. "We had a week off over Christmas, so the swimmers are not yet at
their peak. Everyone raced well and we had some great results." Registration for the Olympians swim club is ongoing and they are currently offering a free month and a limited two free months to new members. Call 604-825-1856 or visit abbotsfordolympians.com for more information.
The Tamanawis Wildcats were head and shoulders above the rest of the field at Abbotsford Traditional Middle School’s Grade 8 boys basketball tournament last weekend. The Surrey squad, boasting a tall, talented and deep lineup, rolled to the gold medal, winning all of their games by at least 20 points. They capped the tourney with a 56-33 win over Abbotsford’s W.A. Fraser Falcons in the final. “They’re very, very good,” marveled Abby Traditional athletic director Jasvir Gill. “Some of their kids look like they could at least be in Grade 10.” Local teams also showed very well, as four Abby squads finished among the top seven at the 24-team event. The Falcons, who won the Abbotsford city tourney earlier this

Gill said those showings point out the strength of the local hoops scene at the younger age levels. “Abbotsford has a lot of strong programs when it comes to Grade 8 basketball,” he noted. “Overall, it shows there are a lot of kids here who have a desire to play.” The Abby Traditional tourney was huge in scale, bringing together 48 teams from across B.C. – 24 girls squads and 24 boys – over the course of two weekends. The girls’ side of the draw was contested the previous week, with the St. Thomas More Knights of Burnaby winning gold.

The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades and Trinity Western Spartans are gearing up for a university basketball showcase at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre on Jan. 28. The Canada West regular season doubleheader tips off with the women’s game at 5 p.m., followed by the men at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the AESC box office, as well as the two other local box office locations at Matsqui Recreation Centre and Abbotsford Recreation Centre. They are also available on both university campuses. For more information, contact UFV’s David Kent at 604-3097658 or david.kent@ ufv.ca.

Sports
In Brief Cascades men earn a road split with the UVic Vikes last weekend. He notched six points, four rebounds and two blocked shots in a 79-70 win on Friday. Wierks, a sophomore centre, registered a pair of double-doubles as the UFV women swept the Vikes. The UFV basketball teams are on the road at Regina and Brandon this weekend.
BOXING COACH BACK IN RING Blue Corner Boxing Club head coach Ingo Schubert is making a return to the ring for an exhibition fundraiser tonight (Friday, Jan. 20). Schubert’s last bout was in April 1994 – nearly 18 years ago. He’ll be lacing up the gloves to face Blue Corner boxer Calep Weitzel at Cascades Casino in Langley. The bout is part of the regular Friday Night Fights promo-
tion, and doors open at 7:30 p.m. Schubert is raising funds for his son’s hockey team, the Abbotsford bantam A2 squad. “I did the sport for a long time, so I’m not really nervous,” Schubert, 51, said with a chuckle. “I’m not in the shape I used to be in, but I’m in good enough shape, I think.”
CURL FOR A GOOD CAUSE The annual Curl For Care mini-bonspiel, formerly known as Curl For Kids, will be held on Jan. 29. The event has raised more than $100,000 for charity over the past 19 years, and this year the spiel is raising donations for the Dave Lede Campus of Care, currently being built adjacent to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Registration is $50 per person or $200 per four-member team, and includes equipment, instruction, a buffet lunch, and a chance to win prizes.

Saint-Ange Ryan Joshua With heavy hearts we regret to announce that our precious son Ryan was taken from us all too soon on Friday January 13, 2012 in Abbotsford, BC. Our “Black Ryan” is survived by his beloved parents Mary and Wade; siblings Nadine, Nina, Chelsy, Wade and Kelsy. He will also be forever cherished by his
Born August 7th, 1929, on his family’s original homestead near Mankota, Sask, Ed was the seventh son of parents Mary and Joseph Szigety. Ed moved to Abbotsford as a child, and remained here for the rest of his life. As a teenager he met his wife and lifelong companion Bertha (nee Whitman), to whom he was happily married for 61 years. After years working for Canada Post, Fraser Valley Milk, and Public Freightways, as well as running the pool hall at the Atangard Hotel, Ed remained busy in his retirement, known amongst family and friends as the man who could fix anything, and was always willing to help. His calm was only exceeded by his patience, and he lived by values of hard work, strong family, and a sense of humor that lasted until his final days. Ed passed quietly on a sunny Sunday afternoon, surrounded by his close family. He is survived by his wife Bertha, his son Darcy, daughter Lin, and the grandchildren and great-grandchildren that he loved so much. Ed asked that there not be a funeral, though there will be a private memorial at a later date.

Slowing down and examining these, issues can lead to a practical solution. Plato said, “An unexamined life is not worth living for.”

The 14th annual Pacific Agriculture Show is on track to set new records. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The exhibitor response has been phenomenalâ&#x20AC;? says Jim Shepard, Show Manager. We are already nearing capacity and are getting creative in looking for ways to find room for new exhibitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have added two tents that will hold the industry lunches and will also provide space for another 20 to 30 exhibitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is frustrating at times when a prospective new exhibitor is looking for a large space or when our current exhibitors want to expand and we simply cannot accommodate them,â&#x20AC;? added Shepard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luckily Tradex recently announced that they will be expanding and the Show will be able to take advantage of the increase in floor space to reach its full potential.â&#x20AC;? Once again, with more than 250 companies exhibiting the latest equipment, products and techniques for the Ag business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Pacific Agriculture Show is the place to be for anyone involved in Agribusiness. Show times are Thursday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The admission charge is $10 for adults, $5 for seniors, and children under 14 free. Planning for the 54th annual Horticulture Producers Short Course has been completed. Topics include sessions for the three major berry industries, farm business management, farm direct marketing, organic production and the all-important agrienergy forum. The keynote speaker at the short course will be Dr. Jennifer James, an urban cultural anthropologist who was a professor at the University of Washington Medical School prior to developing her public lectures and corporate seminars, which she presents worldwide. Her unique background (history, psychology and anthropology) has made her one of the most soughtafter speakers in the world. She is a researcher, writer and commentator and has published seven books, numerous academic articles and wrote a newspaper column for the Seattle Times for 18 years. She has filmed two PBS specials titled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thinking in the Future Tenseâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;A

B4 Pacific Agriculture Show January 26, 27, 28, 2012
The latest equipment on display The Pacific Agriculture show continues to be an overwhelming success, and again this year space is limited with both old and new participants seeking more room for their displays. Andy Mitchell of Abbotsford’s Avenue Machinery Corp says last year’s show was excellent, and that he and general manager Tim Drake are looking forward to the 2012 event. Mitchell pointed out that, “the show not only caters to the farmer and those in other agricultural enterprises, but provides a great place for families to come out and enjoy the many displays of farm machinery with the kids having fun climbing on the tractors.” Mitchell says Avenue will introduce their new spray cab tractor unit designed for the berry industry at the 2012 show. With a frontmounted spray boom that is fully adjustable from the cab, it means

Investing in a system you hope you never have to use may seem odd, but it made perfect sense to the city of Coffeyville, Kansas. The city wanted to ensure that their community would never be left in the dark, no matter what Mother Nature threw at them. That’s why they built a “black-start” generation facility, featuring two Baldor 2,000 kW generators that would start their main power plant in the event of the loss of electric power from the transmission grid. Talk about a perfect insurance policy. In the months since the unit was commissioned, the city has not once been disappointed by the system.

Also, to be seen for the first time, will be a new spray tractor equipped with crawler tracks making it easier to manoeuvre in muddy fields or rough terrain. The Avenue Machinery exhibit is only part of the overall trade show featuring numerous other displays showcasing advances and improvements in farm operations predicated by the industry’s technological advances.
Dairy Expo The 44th annual BC Dairy Expo on Thursday morning, Jan. 26, in the BMO Room gets underway at 10 a.m. with the focus on lameness, which is regarded as the number one animal welfare issue facing the dairy industry today. This presentation will provide an excellent overview and understanding of the many interrelated factors affecting hoof health. At 10:50 a.m. Doug Johnstone from ARPE Hoof Trimming Ltd. will outline the results of a hoof health pilot study. His presentation will summarize interim findings of this 18-month study in terms of incidence and types of hoof lesions detected in the 75-plus dairy farms which participated in the study. At 11:10 a.m., keynote speaker Dr. Jan Shearer will talk about foot warts, foot baths, foot sprays and foot wraps. This talk will address everything applicable to understanding the underlying causes, treatment and control of the various forms of digital and interdigital dermatitis. New work being done at Iowa State will be presented as well. This talk will be tailored

to a producer audience for direct application to on-farm management practices. Dr. Jan Shearer received his DVM degree from Ohio State University in 1975 and worked as a practicing veterinarian in north central Ohio for over four years before returning to Ohio State to complete graduate studies in nutrition. He spent 27 years with the University of Florida as a professor and dairy extension veterinarian before relocating to Iowa State University to serve in a similar position. Dr. Shearer’s primary interests and expertise are with lameness and welfare issues of dairy cattle. The dairy producer barbecue luncheon, sponsored by BDO Chartered Accountants and Advisors, will be an opportunity to enjoy a hearty lunch and network with all
Dairy Expo speakers, fellow producers and luncheon hosts. Anyone without a free barbecue pass card that was distributed to BC Dairy Expo seminar attendees will be required to pay $15 per person for the barbecue luncheon. The cost is $18 per person for anyone wanting a Friday luncheon ticket.
Agri Energy Thursday afternoon, Jan. 26, starting at 1 p.m., this day-and-a-half forum costs $90 per person. Since seating is limited, pre-registration is highly recommended. Complete registration details are available at the Pacific Agriculture Show website: www.agricultureshow.net. Renewable energy technology adoption in the agri-
cultural sector continues to grow. Globally, farmers and food processors are increasingly taking advantage of renewable agri-energy technologies to maintain a more stable financial condition through energy independence and diversification beyond conventional agricultural based income sources. Building on last year’s highly successful forum, the 2012 Agri-Energy Forum will explore in greater detail which of these renewable agri-energy technologies are most pertinent to British Columbia’s agricultural sector, enabling producers to better determine which technologies are most suitable for their own operation.

Farmers embracing technology Farm Credit Canada says farmers are very interested in new forms of mobile technology, and at the coming Pacific Agriculture Show they will find the latest innovations. According to a recent FCC study, farmers have been quick to purchase a Smartphone (29 per cent). It’s the same story for tablet use with six per cent of producers owning a tablet. Tablet adoption is expected to be highest among current Smartphone users. More than half (53 per cent) of producers who own a Smartphone today plan to buy a tablet within two years. With a strong web connection, these devices can turn vehicles and farm machinery into a mobile office where producers can conveniently monitor their farm operation, place orders, market products, and monitor weather and interest rates. Getting access to relevant financial data and economic information can be a real advantage in today’s fast-moving marketplace. Innovation has always been a major driver of profitability in agriculture and mobile technology is just one more tool available to gain a competitive edge. Canadian producers are innovative and have historically adopted new technology that will be found at the Pacific Agriculture Show among the many farm machinery displays and related activities. B.C. farmers are technology friendly, and the Pacific Agriculture Show provides upto-date information and displays. “It’s what makes the show tick,” says show manager Jim Shepard.

Many career opportunities in agriculture Agriculture provides a large range of career options, and training and education is available locally. Graduates of University of the Fraser Valley agriculture programs are among the most employable graduates in the field across Canada, says a press release from the university in Abbotsford. The variety of careers are vast, with a tremendous diversity among career paths. Graduates of these programs are in high demand, with many job placements even prior to graduation. UFVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture program prepares grads for entry into the dynamic world of agriculture. Due to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourable climate and proximity to some of the most fertile land in Canada, the opportunities for field trips and interaction with a wide host of local agricultural and horticultural businesses and organizations is tremendous. Careers in Horticulture For those with education and practical skills, career opportunities in agriculture are excellent. UFV agriculture graduates are successful in finding jobs throughout the horticulture industry. They find employment in greenhouses, golf courses and landscaping companies, as grounds maintenance personnel and as technicians with various levels of government. Others find careers in the agri-business sector in marketing, sales, and service. Some graduates return to family-owned enterprises or start their own small business. Qualified graduates of the diploma option in horticulture are eligible to ladder into the Bachelor of Business Administration for Agriculture Management program at UFV, or transfer to Olds College in Alberta where they will receive transfer credit towards a bachelor of science degree in applied horticulture technology. Careers in Livestock UFV agriculture graduates have success finding jobs in the livestock sector as well as in more general agricultural industries. Sample livestock-related occupations include dairy farm manager or owner/operator, dairy herdsperson, artificial insemination specialist, ranch hand, sales representative for livestock-related supplies, government livestock and forage technician, swineherd production assistant, and poultry producers. Careers in IPM People with integrated pest management training are needed by
the horticulture industry to identify and assess pest problems, and help to recommend and implement management programs. Career opportunities in IPM for qualified applicants are expected to increase over the next several years. Graduates may find work as IPM field scouts in nurseries, greenhouses, or for field crop and/or orchard operations. Graduates may work directly for growers, for IPM consulting firms, or as technicians in various government research programs. Horticulture Options Graduates of the one-year horticulture crop production and protection certificate program will be qualified to seek work as competent assistants in field crop production, in government, as technicians, in greenhouses, nursery greenhouses, garden centres, landscape companies and in grounds maintenance. Some graduates start their own businesses. The one-year horticulture crop production and protection certificate transfers completely to the two-year agriculture technology diploma, horticulture crop production and protection option. Some credits may also transfer to other two-year programs in horticulture. Qualifying students may also be eligible to receive the equivalent of Year I apprenticeship in production horticulture. Students will be actively involved in practical, hands-on activities on the UFV campuses and in the agriculture technology department greenhouses and plant nursery area. All students are required to perform greenhouse-related work on the Chilliwack campus outside of regular class hours. As well, many courses have required field trips at student expense. Livestock Production Students seeking practical training in livestock production can earn a livestock production certificate. Graduates of this program will be qualified to seek employment on dairy farms, as government technicians, in other supply and livestock sectors, and in the agriservice sectors. Some graduates start their own enterprises. The one-year livestock production certificate program transfers completely to the two-year agriculture technology diploma, livestock production option. Graduates may also be able to transfer their livestock production certificate to other agriculture diploma programs.
The Pacific Agriculture Show is a popular event for farm families.

Growing forward
British Columbia’s agricultural and agri-products sector can increase its competitive edge through funding under a new program to facilitate the development and adoption of innovations in the B.C. agriculture, food and agri-products sector. The $1.5 million Canada-BC AgriInnovation Program is funded through the federal and provincial Growing Forward Agreement. It supports projects that lead to innovation that will enhance profitability and competitiveness, both on-farm and throughout the rest of the supply chain. The Investment Agriculture Foundation delivers this program on behalf of the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture. Businesses, organization and individuals can access up to $250,000 for eligible projects. Examples include: Q Adaptive or applied research; Q Development or demonstration of innovative technologies, processes or products; and Q Projects that support the adoption of product, process or technological innovation. Deadlines are April 15, and July 13. All projects must be completed by March 31, 2013. For information contact Investment Agriculture Foundation of BC, email: funding@iafbc.ca and phone 250-3561662.
A wide variety of farm machines, like this offering from Wajax Equipment, will be on display for the consideration of producers at the Pacific Agriculture show.
