A local recycling company has offered to hold a bottle drive to replace the 60 bags of items that were stolen from a woman raising funds for a couple struggling with the illness of their 10-month-old daughter.

A crane hoists the 14x48-foot sign on top of its pillar on Salton Road near Highway 1 on Wednesday.
The first and largest of three new electronic signs in Abbotsford is now aloft. The 14x48-foot digital display, located on Salton Road next to Highway 1, will be used to promote the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC), community events and private businesses. The sign is the first part of a 20-year deal between the city and Pattison Outdoor Advertising. “We had always envisioned that we wanted to have a marquee sign to identify the entertainment and sports centre,” said city manager Frank Pizzuto. The sign is located on city land, but the adjacent property had to be purchased. “We had the right-ofway and it wasn’t quite enough,” said Pizzuto. The city paid $685,000 for the property, which included a small house that will eventually be removed. Pizzuto said most of the property will be resold, once it is determined
exactly how much is required for the sign. Under the agreement, Pattison pays all capital and operating costs for the AESC sign, and two smaller 10x20 structures to be built adjacent to the Abbotsford Visitor Centre and the municipal building. Advertising will be secured by the Pattison group. “We get a commission from ad sales, so there is some revenue coming in as a result of that. And there’s obviously visibility for the entertainment and sports centre and the city also gets a percentage of the time to basically do public service advertising,” Pizzuto said. It is estimated city revenue, over the 20-year period, could reach $9.9 million. The city will also receive about $4.6 million worth of free advertising. There is also an option for the city to request up to six more signs. Construction on the next one, located by the visitor centre, will begin in the coming weeks.
Healing Hands scam Fraser Health not involved with kids’ book Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News
It appears Abbotsford businesses are being targeted in a telephone scam that asks them to purchase booklets that will be used by sick children. Representatives of the Healing Hands Busy Book tell business owners they are working with local hospitals and health authorities on a booklet that will be given to sick and injured kids. It is allegedly full of games, puzzles and other material designed to take their minds off their troubles. The Abbotsford Downtown Business Association and the Abbotsford Police are warning businesses that wish to get financially involved with this project that they are not dealing with a charitable organization, and children will not receive the books. “Healing Hands is not on the Canada Revenue Agency’s list of registered charities. As well, Healing Hands is not affiliated with Fraser Health here in the Valley,” says an APD press release. The release calls the busy book “a well-run scam” that appears to have been operating in North America for
more than a decade. Over that time, numerous health authorities and hospitals across Canada have issued statements and warnings to businesses that they are in no way affiliated with the Healing Hands Busy Book. That includes the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority in 2008. The Federal Trade Commission shut them down in the U.S. in 2003, as part of a sweep called Operation Phoney Philanthropy. The Healing Hands Busy Book operators were prohibited from misrepresenting that they are affiliated with local hospitals, or that children at those hospitals will receive their books. They were also ordered to pay $500,000 in consumer redress. An Abbotsford business received the sample book from Healing Hands and realized it was a scam after doing some online research. No money was sent. Healing Hands has a one-page website at www.healinghandsbusybook.com. If any Abbotsford businesses are affected, the APD asks they forward the information to Const. Mitch La Framboise, referencing Abbotsford Police file #1146355.

Time for reflection
Parting words from George Peary Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News
Uncertain as to what would make him stand out in a large field of candidates, George Peary stood on his head at the all-candidates meeting. “I delivered my speech inverted,” he said. That was 1987, and the 47-yearold Peary, a local school district administrator, was running in his first election for a seat on Matsqui council. His stunt had the desired effect. “I got my picture in the paper. I wasn’t holding onto a sprinkler, but...” The latter is a reference to council candidate Aird Flavelle holding a sprinkler aloft in a News photo from an all-candidates meeting prior to the Nov. 19 election. Almost a week after he was defeated at the polls for the first time in his long political career, Abbotsford Mayor George Peary offered his thoughts about his life in politics, what he called an “ugly” election that resulted in his defeat, and the challenges that his replacement, Bruce
MELISSA WELSH
Abbotsford News
Departing mayor George Peary looks back at his political career, and takes stock of the City of Abbotsford. Banman, will face after taking office on Dec. 5. The public was distrustful of the city’s proposed Stave Lake water project, via a publicprivate P3 partnership. Seventyfive per cent of voters turned it down, and Peary, the plan’s champion, went down with it. He was defeated by newcomer Bruce Banman by about a 1,200vote margin. In the 1987 byelection, Peary was “just barely” elected. Harry De Jong, the former Matsqui mayor, had worked with Peary
on the police board, and encouraged him to run for council. Peary had been in the community since 1973, coming here as the vice-principal of Abbotsford Senior Secondary. He worked as a school district administrator for 28 years, serving as principal at W.J. Mouat, Abbotsford Junior, Yale and the Career Technical Centre. The public antics continued. He did backflips. A seconddegree black belt in judo, he would perform a chugari, which is a move “like a somersault
with a big bang in the middle.” He hoisted people on his shoulders. And his success in local politics continued from then until now. He switched from city councillor to the board of education in 2005, topping the trustee polls. Peary returned to city hall as mayor in 2008. He said local business people approached him to run. “I had no great ambition to be mayor, but I talked to my wife and she said ‘You’re the best person for the job’” A week from now, he will serve his last day in office. Peary served under iconic local mayors – De Jong, Dave Kandal and George Ferguson. “They all had a hand in shaping my view of local government,” he said. He saw the political fur fly when Ferguson and Kandal had to “duke it out” for the mayoralty. But he said those campaigns never got personal. Not like the 2011 election, which he says was the ugliest he has been through. He was a target, saying “some of my opponents demonized me,” particularly online. “I’m human. If you cut me, I bleed,” said Peary. He clarified that Banman himself did not launch personal attacks. Continued on A7
‘Reptile Guy’ rallies against laws Joins others to protest outside of courthouse Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A man who previously operated a reptile-rescue facility in Abbotsford will join others to rally against provincial government regulations on Monday outside B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. Hopcraft is due to appear in court as a witness in a civil suit involving Jozef and Bibiana Demcak of Richmond. The pair are challenging the provincial “controlled alien species” regulations that were introduced in 2009 to control the possession, breeding and transportation of exotic pets.

Hopcraft is mainly concerned that the new laws didn’t take into consideration the rescue component of operations like his. Many people purchased exotic pets before the regulations were in place, but there is no place for those reptiles to go when people no longer want them or can’t obtain the required permits, he said. “I agree there should be regulations. Not every little kid should have an alligator, but when it comes to education and rescue, why would you stop it?”

‘Make sure I live until I die’ From A5
He said he will answer Banman’s questions to ease the transition if he is asked, but won’t be giving any unsolicited advice. Peary leaves it to Banman and his new council to deal with the water issue, which he maintains is crucial. He predicts dramatically higher water rates are on the way as demand for water increases and conservation becomes a greater necessity. He predicts the new mayor will find himself caught between CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) supporters who helped put him into office – and will now be wanting consideration in city bargaining – and the taxpayers groups who want him to hold the line on city spending. Employee salaries are the city’s major cost. Freezing taxes means laying people off, he said. And he hears constant pressure for added city services, like busing, a new theatre, a 50-metre pool, and “there’s no shortage of demands. “The new mayor is quickly going to discover his life, and council’s life, is full of no-win decisions.”
Peary said in April that the city is poised for prosperity, and he still believes that. His goal was to try to leave the city “in better shape than when (I) found it.” Taking stock, he said Abbotsford has received $125 million in federal and provincial investment over his three years. “No council has ever done that.” That includes the Clearbrook and McCallum overpasses, airport improvements, housing for homeless women, the Discovery Trail and “a host of other things.” There are also 200 acres of industrial land about to come onstream, bringing more jobs and more families to the city. He said Abbotsford has gone from being dubbed the murder capital of Canada to having no homicides this year, and he is proud of the current administration’s efforts in crime reduction. “I leave with my head held high.” Peary plans to travel, spend more time with his wife Sylvia, who has been “rock solid for me,” and their grandchildren, and get back into his fitness regimen. He will focus on quality of life. “I’m going to make sure that I live until I die.”

How to choose the Right Electrician if you have any of these 6 problems and you want them fixed today! Unlike the plumbers I know, electricians rarely get emergency calls. Our equivalent of a flood in the basement is a fire in the attic . . . and you don’t call us for that. You call 911. So you’re probably not reading this because you’ve got an electrical emergency. Instead, you have an electrical problem like one of these . . .
1. “My good friend (or husband) tried to do it.” My apologies to the guys reading this, but it’s true. A big part of our business is finishing up the electrical projects you start . . . from outlets to ceiling fans. And that’s okay, although it would be easier and probably cheaper if you’d call us first. We have the tools, experience and know-how to do the job right, start to finish. Call us for proven professional electrical expertise.
2. “I need a ceiling fan or chandelier installed.” We install lighting fixtures, fans, outlets, dimmers and more. Our work is guaranteed to meet city codes, and we use only copper wiring (no aluminum). Want to know why we use only copper wiring? Call us.

It’s also something few electricians, cable companies or internet providers like to do. But you’re in luck when you call us. We’re World Champions at snaking wire without knocking holes in your walls.

OF THE WEEK
Do you approve of our move to Facebook online commenting?

I kind of like this idea. If you wouldn’t make comments using your name, perhaps you should rethink what you’re posting. Kelsey Schmidt Siemens
Casting your ballot, did you feel adequately informed on civic issues?
Lots of luck with this. Instead of dealing with a problem you create another one. Typical of the press, isn’t it? Well, you aren’t going to stop anonymous comments. People will set up bogus Facebook pages and off they go – problem still there. Imnoone

Keeping civility in online commenting Andrew
Holota
On Point Of all the facets and features of the online world, anonymity figures large. You can drift from website to website, just one of billions of nameless, faceless users. You can be a watcher, a voyeur, a pupil, a player. And in countless chat rooms and forums and comment sites, you can also be a participant – offering opinions and criticisms, rants and raves, all under the cloak of anonymity. It’s the latter that is the focus here. The development of the faceless online persona has been a fascinating, if not somewhat disturbing, journey. As someone who has worked in the print media for more than three decades, I have been a front-row spectator to public discourse — as an editor, a commentator, a mediator and a target. Traditionally, voices have been heard through stories and letters to
the editor, in both cases from identified sources. The debate was thus limited to those who had the conviction to stand behind their words, in name and sometimes in image. For most, it tempered the tone of their engagement. Speak offensively and one could face the consequences — in person and in public. Anonymous online commenting turned that principle on its ear. On the positive side, the opportunity to offer opinion or criticism on a topic has added voices to the conversation. More people are inclined to shoot from the lip if the return fire isn’t face to face. It can also be said that discussion on social issues became broader and deeper, as taboo or sensitive topics could be safely examined from behind an opaque barrier. But anonymous commenting also brought a downside. It became apparent that sniping from the shadows loosened the bonds of civility — for some, to a disturbing degree. They expanded the right of freedom of speech to mean the right to say whatever they please, wherever they wish.
Anonymous online commenting (and email) often contains a measure of venom rarely found in letters from identified writers and even more rarely in person-to-person discourse. It also seems negatives attract negatives, so that some commenting sites become dominated by a like-minded
No debate is enhanced by name-calling and derogatory allegations. few who remain in the dark. For those reasons, Black Press newspapers are changing from anonymous commenting to posting via Facebook. The News makes the change on Dec. 1. It’s not perfect, nor infallible. Fake accounts can be created — and Facebook will be ferreting those out, dealing with them as they’re discovered. This isn’t an us-versus-them game, although there will be some who consider it as such.
Hopefully, by putting names and faces on the commenters, the conversation remains active and interesting – and civil. And those who don’t appreciate that kind of environment don’t have to stay in it. There is opposition, of course. Many people do not have a Facebook account nor do they wish to establish one. While that choice will prevent them commenting with us, they are still welcome to send a letter to the editor, which will be considered for print and online. There are also those who are convinced this move is a media conspiracy to censor comments, particularly if they deal with politics or ethnic issues. It’s not. Your views are welcome, whatever the topic, with the following caveat: There is a code of etiquette. No debate is enhanced by namecalling and derogatory allegations. Derision and disrespect, regardless of whom or what it is aimed at, is a crude way of communicating. It’s not acceptable in person or online. I know we can all do better – and I’ll sign my name to that comment and all those above: Andrew Holota, Editor, The Abbotsford News

Former Mayor George Peary ought to have heeded Plutarch’s advice to respond only to those friendships in politics that seek no advantage. Crematorium, commercial truck parking in residential areas and finally the mega water issue were the three strikes that finally put him out. I would therefore suggest that our new mayor, council and city bureaucrats take heed of these consequences when conducting our business in the future. John Skorupa

Thank yous and accolades to the Abbotsford voters and especially Water Watch MissionAbbotsford. The way I see it, we turned a corner when we realized that voting yes to P3 would not only devalue our neighbourly relations with Mission but quite surely result in out-of-control taxes. We successfully rejected the dysfunctional approach of an imposed dilemma, even if this was coming from possibly well-meaning leaders. Thanks, but no thanks to one hastily fabricated proposal. The so-called water shortage has been partially addressed by our bi-monthly utility water bills, no doubt. Let’s just watch everyone have more respect for this commodity. Abbotsford chose to open the door for timely research and sound solutions. The future is bright again, let’s develop vision and support wise options and real choices. Christa Klotz

Abbotsford recorded nine collisions in an eight-hour period during Tuesday’s heavy rains, according to local police. Const. Ian MacDonald said a total of 16 vehicles and one pedestrian were involved in the crashes between 3:45 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. There were no serious injuries. MacDonald said

many of the incidents involved drivers attempting to make left turns at busy intersections. One, which occurred at about 5:50 p.m., resulted in a 14-year-old girl being taken to hospital as a precaution after she was struck by a Ford F-150. MacDonald said the girl was proceeding on the walk signal at a marked crosswalk when she was hit by the pickup, which was travelling east on Old Yale Road and making a left turn onto McMillan Road. The girl suffered minor injuries.
Another crash occurred about a block away from the intersection of Marshall and McCallum at about 7 p.m., when a driver came to sudden halt and attempted to make an illegal left turn on a double solid line. This resulted in a chain-reaction collision with three other cars that were travelling behind the lead car. In three other crashes, drivers went entirely off the road, including a pickup truck that hyrdoplaned in the area of Ackerman Court and DeLair Road and collided with a parked motor home.

Soft Lift QUESTION: Is it true you can achieve a soft face lift with the use of cosmetic fillers? Will the results look natural? - Jane, Aldergrove
ANSWER: As we age the bones of the face actually soften back as does the fat in the fat pockets of the face. At the same time our skin expands due to the effects of natural aging. In other words the table cloth is now too big for the table. With the Soft Lift we combine the smoothing effect of Botox with the filling effect of Juvederm fillers. The result is a natural looking lift with no downtime, done in just one treatment!

Service offers safe ride home
Operation Red Nose for MissionAbbotsford begins this weekend, providing a sober designated driver for people who have had a little too much holiday cheer. The free service, which relies on donations and volunteers, allows an inebriated person to call and have two or more ORN volunteers show up in a car. One volunteer drives the customer’s car home while the second one trails in the ORN vehicle. It’s a safe means of getting home in one piece without leaving the car behind. ORN MissionAbbotsford is being run by PacificSport Fraser Valley, the organization to first bring the program to B.C. 16 years ago. Since then, 11 more programs have been formed to bring ORN to over 25 other communities in the province. ORN is the annual fundraiser for PacificSport and donations are used to develop and deliver sport programs and services throughout the Fraser Valley. Half of all donations go directly to regional high-perfor mance athletes in the form of travel and performance grants twice yearly. Last year ORN Mission-Abbotsford provided 842 safe rides home totalling 24,000 kilometres, according to coordinator Christine Scott in Abbotsford. The program goal this year is to reach 1,000 safe rides. While the service is free, donations help. The service begins this weekend, Nov. 25 and 26, and continues through Dec. 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17 and 31. All hours of operation are from

Supporting seniors curling title event
BETTY JOHNSTON PHOTO
Linda Kirton (left) vice-chair of the 2012 Canadian Seniors Curling Championship, and Daryl Kirton, the event’s director of marketing, accept a cheque for $30,000 from Cindy Boury, branch manager of Raymond James and Grant Gaudet, Raymond James financial advisor.
Raymond James will be the presenting sponsor for the 2012 Canadian Seniors Curling Championships hosted in Abbotsford from March 17 to 25, 2012. Raymond James will be identified as “Blue Diamond,” the rarest of all Diamonds and our top local supporter. “Raymond James is proud to sponsor the 2012 Senior Curling Championships which will be hosted in Abbotsford,’’ said Cindy Boury, Abbotsford branch manager. ‘‘Raymond James associates across Canada share a desire to give back to the communities in which we work and live. Our people volunteer their time and talents to make a
difference in the lives of others and have a positive impact on our communities.” She has a personal connection to curling, and says she is particularly proud to be participating in this sponsorship. The Boury family helped found the Abbotsford Curling Club, and Ray Boury (Cindy’s fatherin-law) was instrumental in building the first club in 1957. The curling will be in the Abbotsford Recreation Centre Arena and the hosting activities will be at the Abbotsford Curling Club. Planning is well underway and the club is looking for additional volunteers and supporters to make this event successful.
Kiwanis club supports Holmberg House As part of a three-year, $18,000 commitment by the three Kiwanis clubs of Abbotsford, $6,000 was presented to the Abbotsford Hospice Society. Kiwanis presidents Roy Curry, (MSA club), Graham Taylor, (Abbotsford club) and Jim Callaghan (Clearbrook club) presented the second of three $6,000 cheques to Marion Keys, AHS capital campaign manager. “We gratefully acknowledge this contribution from a well-established service organization in our community,” said Debbie Lehmann, executive director of the Abbotsford Hospice Society. “This type of grass roots support has helped to form the foundation of our capital campaign.”
This year, the Abbotsford Hospice Society celebrates 25 years of providing front-line support services to the dying and the bereaved. In 2010 the society launched a capital campaign to build the first adult hospice residence in Abbotsford. The new hospice residence, named Holmberg House, will be designed to provide holistic patient care in a non-institutional setting 24 hours a day, seven days a week to people as young as 19 years of age. The campaign continues, with $2.5 million still needed to reach the $7.5 million goal. Anyone interested in the Kiwanis clubs in the community can call Lloyd Hopper at 604-853-5157 or Graham Taylor at 604-859-7603 for information on all three clubs.

RBC partners with West Abbotsford community school

Students at Clearbrook Elementary’s Community Connections program are benefiting from the support of Royal Bank Canada.
Royal Bank Canada (RBC) is helping support elementary students who are in an after-school program based at Clearbrook Elementary, run by West Abbotsford Community School Society (WACSS). The Clearbrook Community Connections program is for children (Grades K - 5) at the school, which is one of eight schools supported by WACSS. “Many of these families are struggling and are working odd jobs and shifts and are challenged socioeconomically. This in turn makes it difficult to take care of the children after school hours,” said Pierre Welbedagt, executive director of WACSS. “We continue to host a program at Clearbrook that houses the children and gives them positive and enriching sports, homework,
and recreation programs after school, each weekday from 2:45 to 4:45 p.m.” He said the children are involved in homework time, leadership, mentoring, nutrition, culture, computer and activity based program experiences and opportunities. Volunteers and staff provide the children positive role models. “We assist these children and families to succeed. Busy children in positive pursuits equals less life problems, and the children inevitably become contributing members of society because they will be engaged and busy in positive pursuits and leadership training,” said Welbedagt. “With support of partners like RBC, the program and supplies are free and accessible to all the children.”

Gift of literacy
Last January, Reading Tree signed a partnership with United Way to supply 18,000 slightly used children’s books to one school in each of the four school districts, with the remaining books going to early childhood programs throughout the Fraser Valley. “This partnership has exceeded all of our expectations.” said Wayne Green, executive director of United Way. “Reading Tree committed to supplying 18,000 books.” He said more than 19,000 books were delivered. Abbotsford Community Services and Chilliwack Community Services were able to distribute books through their family programs. Hand in Hand received over 2,000 books for their Strong Start program and preschool. The Abbotsford Early Childhood Committee is using the books generously donated by Reading Tree to give to children who participate during their weekly story time and parachute games program.

where people of Scandinavian origin, as well as many with an interest in those five countries, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Denmark, congregate. Ernie Poignant, with his wife Rose, in front of 45 members and guests, cut the anniversary cake. Poignant recently received a lifetime Arty Award from the Abbotsford Arts Council. He has been drawing historical cartoons about Abbotsford and its surroundings for many years. With his Swedish background, he is a loyal member of SCOTFV. The SCOTFV grew out of the international Swedish lodge, Vasa, in 2001. The first home was the Rebecca Hall. In 2003 the club moved to the better facilities at the Eagles Hall, and from there to the present location in 2008 at the Masonic Hall, 33860 Pine St., as the Eagles wanted to renovate their facility. On the second Monday of each month, except July and August, the members meet for a potluck dinner, which always include some Scandinavian dishes. A second part of the evenings is an entertaining program about Scandinavia. This could take the form of a video, talks or music. Each month one of the countries is celebrated, both in terms of food and entertainment. For more information about the club call Len at 604-857-2740 or Eigil at 604-870-8601, or email jensenke@shaw. ca.

Robert Bateman students participated in Halloween for Hunger, raising 2,100 pounds of food for the Abbotsford Food Bank. Halloween for Hunger is an initiative by the Free the Children organization.

Desbiens sticks with it Dan KINVIG
UFV to host hoops showcase
Abbotsford News
Dan KINVIG
Scoring drought now in rear view mirror, veteran forward gears up to face Rampage Take care of the process, and the results will follow. It’s a bit of a cliché in the sports world, but in many ways, a helpful mentality. But as Guillaume Desbiens would attest, it’s not easy to feel good about your play when you feel like you’re attuned to the process, but the results aren’t materializing. The Abbotsford Heat winger couldn’t seem to buy a goal during the early portion of the 2011-12 campaign – the first 17 games came and went, and Desbiens didn’t bulge the twine once. It was a frustrating stretch for the snake-bitten veteran, who had scored at a 20-goal pace over his previous three AHL seasons with the Manitoba Moose. Desbiens was relieved, then, to finally break his personal goose-egg last Saturday, when he took a pass from Dustin Sylvester and beat Oklahoma City Barons goalie Yann Danis with a rising shot in the third period. The long-awaited tally stood up as the gamewinner in a 4-2 Heat victory. “It was a big weight off my shoulders,” Desbiens admitted with a grin Thursday, as the Heat prepared for a two-game home set with the San Antonio Rampage this weekend. “I was getting worried a little bit, but you’ve just got to stick with the process. “It could be a problem when you don’t get chances, but I was getting them. It was just a matter of bearing down and scoring. Hopefully it will be one of many to come.” At the height of his scoreless streak, Desbiens sat down with Heat head coach Troy Ward to pick his brain on what he could do to bust loose. Ward told him to keep doing what he was doing, and the goals would come. “His goal-scoring wasn’t a major concern to me,” Ward said. “I think it was for him, obviously, because it’s a prideful thing. But he’s contributed in a lot of other ways that have helped us get off to a good start.

Heat forward Guillaume Desbiens said it was a relief to score his first goal of the season last Saturday. “One of the luxuries we have with Des is he can play a lot of different roles. He can play on the top two lines and add some skill, and he can play on a checking line role and add a physical presence. He’s the guy I’ve probably moved around the most in all of our lines. He’s a handy guy to have as a coach.” The Heat are coming off a wildly successful 6-1 road trip, and they’re hoping to transfer that momentum to home ice as they host the Rampage on Friday (7 p.m.) and Sunday
(1 p.m.) this weekend at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. The Heat will be without forward Carter Bancks, who suffered a hand injury in last Saturday’s game at Oklahoma City and is expected to be sidelined for three weeks. Gaelan Patterson is nursing an upper-body injury he sustained on Sunday at Houston, and Ward said he’s not certain as to whether the sophomore centre will be available this weekend.

The high school boys basketball season is set to tip off in style next week, as the University of the Fraser Valley hosts the third annual Valley Battle. The exhibition doubleheader, which runs Wednesday at the Envision Athletic Centre, features four top AAA teams from the Fraser Valley – Abbotsford's own W.J. Mouat Hawks and Yale Lions, along with the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors and the Heritage Woods Kodiaks of Port Moody. Yale takes on Heritage Woods at 6 p.m., followed by Mouat vs. WRCA at 8 p.m. Barnaby Craddock, head coach of the Cascades men's basketball team, said the early-season exhibition has become a much-anticipated fixture on the B.C. hoops calendar. It also affords the university a valuable opportunity to welcome top high school athletes to campus. "Everyone's excited to see high school basketball get going in the Fraser Valley and in B.C., and it's going to be fun to have these teams in our gym," Craddock said. "Not only do we have some very good teams, there are some very exciting players." Mouat is ranked No. 3 in B.C., while WRCA is No. 5 and Heritage Woods is an honourable mention.

In May 2011 he helped lead the Fraser Valley Volleyball Club to a bronze medal at U18 club nationals, and he went on to win another national bronze in beach volleyball with partner Kristof Schlagintweit in August. “Jeremy is an impact player,” Bearcats coach Rocky Olfert said. “To have him commit is also a great statement for our program, that elite players like Jeremy want to be a part of this culture we have created.”

Navigate yourself into a new career! It is easy to fall into a trap that has you thinking that the sole point of work is to make enough money to live comfortably. Making money is important in your career planning but it is definitely not the only component. If you are unhappy with what you are doing every day, feeling unsatisfied will leave you feeling
frustrated and unable to enjoy going into to work. Wouldn’t you rather have a job that you are passionate about and excited to head to on a daily basis? Whether you are looking to enter the work force for the first time or considering a career change, the first step is to uncover activities that bring excitement and joy to your day.
Discovering the possibilities One of the first steps in considering a career change is to think carefully about what really drives you. It is important to first discover your interests and passions. You will be amazed at how the doors open to new career that you may not have considered previously. Once you have determined this foundation, you can start to the search and find the right career. At our ECF events, you will be surprised at how you can fit your passions into a certain industry and love what you choose to do! It may seem daunting to think about a move into a new career. You may find that with the right planning and assessment of your skills, a new career is
possible at any stage of life. To get you started on your path: 1. Look back at what you enjoyed as a child and remember your hobbies and interests. Try to recall what you had chosen when asked “what do you want to be when you grow up?”. It is not surprising to find that this is what you are passionate about. Even though the goals may change, it’s a great place to start! 2. What are your true values? What do you value in life? Is it travel? Being your own boss? These values tend to be ingrained in your personality and will often lead you in the right direction when choosing your career.
3. Exploring your options and being open to new possibilities. Research on the internet or in the library are a good start. Attending events such as ECF bring these to light. Often we hear that from our attendees and see the surprise and excitement when new opportunities are presented. 4. Listen to your heart. You will know when you’ve come up on a career opportunity that truly inspires you. It is crucial to the process and takes you one step closer to your dream job! 5. Get professional help. Career advisors are a great place to start and will assist with narrowing
down your choices. Assessing transferrable skills which you already have, pave a path to new career options. If you are unsure of which career to work towards, try to keep the options open. Try new things and don’t be afraid to admit when something may not be right for you. Gaining experience in different fields or choosing a course of study will leave your options open to many different career paths. Do not put limits on yourself or your options. Industries and career paths are endless. Visit the Education & Career Fair – your future beings with ECF.

There are no simple solutions for a parent who lost their child. It is something that parents hate to go through. Let me suggest a few healthy solutions: â&#x20AC;˘ Accept that your child has died. No one says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be easy. This was your child. â&#x20AC;˘ Surround yourself with people that you can talk to. Your child died. It hurts. â&#x20AC;˘ It is ok to cry. Let it out. Most of us do not like to cry in front of others. Go to a peaceful and remote place and let it out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ok to be angry. Your child did die. It was not your choice. â&#x20AC;˘ Find a grief group. You are not alone. Sharing your pain with others who are experiencing the same is therapeutic. Many parents have lost their child.
â&#x20AC;˘ Talk about your child. Memories are great. My sister was a great cook. She loved to entertain people around the kitchen. She would always greet me with a hug and a kiss. Your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memories still live on. â&#x20AC;˘ Hold special ceremonies. Do not be afraid to have special events that reďŹ&#x201A;ect your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. â&#x20AC;˘ Have a place to go to. My fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trips to the cemetery have been healthy. He has a quiet moment to reďŹ&#x201A;ect upon his daughter. If you are experiencing unresolved grief, please call me. We want to help you. We have resources in our community that can lead you to a healthy recovery.
