Students from Margaret Stenersen Elementary participated in the school’s annual Pumpkin Run on Thursday. Funds raised went towards helping out fellow Grade 1 student Cheyann Taylor and her family. Cheyann (pictured below) was diagnosed with leukemia last February.

or the last 10 years, the Pumpkin Run at Margaret Stenersen Elementary has been a fun effort to raise funds for the school. But this year, the kids who ran on Oct. 27 did so to help out a little girl. With pumpkins dotted around the field, 385 students from kindergarten to Grade 5 sprinted, jogged and walked for the event that usually raises $200. By Thursday afternoon, before the run began, that amount had already tripled.

The money raised was in support of Grade 1 student Cheyann Taylor. Last February, Cheyann, 6, was diagnosed with leukemia, a cancer of the bone marrow and the blood. Cheyann will miss the Pumpkin Run this year because of a fever that developed over the weekend. Last Monday, she was taken to Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “If she can’t go to school, she cries, sometimes for over an hour,” said her mom Montana Taylor, 31.

On track for 0 murders
Stats Canada releases homicide rates Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Abbotsford has officially handed over the title of Canada’s murder capital, with Statistics Canada’s release on Wednesday of the 2010 national homicide rates. The Abbotsford census metropolitan area (CMA), which includes Mission, is now eighth on the list of 34 CMAs, based on four murders last year – a rate of 2.28 homicides per 100,000 population. Topping the list with a rate of 4.17 is Thunder Bay, Ont.
So far this year, there have been no murders. Const. Ian MacDonald said new initiatives focused on preventing gang violence can be attributed, in part, to the drop in the murder rate. These include the formation of the gang suppression unit in April 2010, which resulted in key arrests of high-ranking gang members and the disruption of criminal activity. The idea was to make Abbotsford an “unpleasant place to do business,” resulting in fewer gang interactions and violence in the community, MacDonald File photo said.

NewsBytes TOURISM AWARD Tourism Abbotsford has received the second annual BC Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) Professional Excellence Award. The award, presented during the BC Tourism Industry Conference in Victoria, is the highest honor a DMO can receive and celebrates continued commitment to the B.C. tourism industry. “This award is not really about celebrating a single DMO,” said Dan Stefanson, executive director of Tourism Abbotsford. “It is about recognizing the work of DMOs throughout the province, whose efforts lead to new jobs, economic growth and community development.” The judges, an independent panel of senior tourism industry leaders, assessed applications against five primary criteria – innovation, industry advancement and involvement, accreditation, performance reporting and accountability. The award was first presented in 2010, and in that inaugural year it was presented to co-recipients Tourism Victoria and Tourism Richmond.
SIKH CONFERENCE A conference called Guru Nanak’s Philosophy and Science takes place in Abbotsford on Nov. 5 and 6. The event is hosted by the Institute for Understanding Sikhism, the Khalsa Diwan Society and the Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies at University of the Fraser Valley. Invited theologians and research scholars will discuss various aspects of the philosophies of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, from the scientific and logical point of view.

UFV earns top marks Survey: Among the best in Canada The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) earned A-level grades in several categories of a report released Tuesday by the Globe and Mail. The university scored top marks in class size, quality of teaching and learning, student-faculty interaction, and instructors’ teaching styles, according to the 2012 Canadian University Report. UFV, along with the University of Northern B.C., earned the most A-level grades of any public university of any size in the
province. It also placed in the top 10 among the 60 universities included in the report. Data in the report is derived from an annual survey of about 100 questions sent to more than 33,000 undergraduate students across Canada. “We are pleased to be recognized nationally for achieving what matters most to us – providing high-quality, student-focused post-secondary education,” said UFV president Mark Evered. UFV placed first in B.C. in the categories of quality
of teaching and learning, instructors’ teaching style, and academic counselling. UFV tied for first place in the province in the categories of most satisfied students, student-faculty interaction, class size, career preparation, research opportunities, information technology, and work-play balance. This is the fifth consecutive year that UFV has ranked among the top in Canada and B.C. in this report. UFV has three campuses, located in Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack.

Not ‘mission accomplished’ yet From A5
people through programs such as Operation Tarnish, Impact and Lodestar, and a community that embraced the need for change. It all resulted in a community culture that won’t stand for gang activity, he said. MacDonald said that although police feel good that Abbotsford has moved down the list, it’s “not mission accomplished.” “The goal wasn’t to lose the (murder capital) title ... Our goal is public safety and becoming the safest city in B.C., and we
still have some more work to do.” He said the lure for profit and the demand for drugs will keep gangs in the forefront, and police will need to continue to work on ways to counteract that. Meanwhile, homicide rates across Canada reached their lowest levels since 1966, with 35 fewer murders in 2010 than in 2009. Gang-related homicides were down for the second year in a row – from 138 in 2008 and 124 in 2009, to 94 last year.
Knowledge, skills and personal strengths From A4
(including history, diversity, trends, population growth, etc.) and legislation (community charter, municipal act, agricultural land reserve, etc.). “You can’t do the job unless you have that solid foundation of knowledge of the issues the community faces,” said Guthrie. She said many people don’t realize how much legislation is related to the job of mayor and council, and candidates have to know the proper process. The second section of the evaluation
form features five topics focusing on skills, including communication, comprehension of finances, problem solving, diplomacy and organization. The final two evaluation points fall under the personal strengths category, including candidate qualities (honest, fair, trustworthy) and track record (related experience). Guthrie is hopeful that the public will find her project useful. It does require work on the part of each voter, but she feels it is worth it to avoid the potential consequences of having an unqualified
individual in office. Guthrie said she took on this project because she is a concerned taxpayer. She was not funded or supported by any political party or other organization. Top issues: As part of the research project, the 20 community leaders were asked to rate the top issues facing the new Abbotsford council. The group concluded that the priority concerns were: 1. water supply;
2. municipal taxes and spending; 3. (tie) balance on city council and transportation; 4. (tie) salaries of municipal employees, affordable housing and public safety; and 5. (tie) environmental stewardship, new residential and commercial development, current crime strategies, Abbotsford’s participation in two regional districts.

QUESTION
Water project
OF THE WEEK
Should your child receive a complete report card, despite teacher job action?
So, which city background info are you referring to? The new stuff, or the stuff from last year, which completely contradicts the new stuff ? Maybe it wouldn’t be so difficult to buy the city’s position if they would just hold one for longer than five minutes. KlausHaus
To answer, go to abbynews.com
You know, the one thing about an armchair quarterback is you never have to really perform. You can sit on the sidelines, make inane and baseless observations, spout endless rhetoric and never have to make a meaningful contribution.
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED: Federal funding of up to $65.7 million has been confirmed for a P3 water project. Does that affect your opinion of the plan?
Abby_guy The fact is this water issue has been reviewed no less than four times over the past 10 years, finally we have administration with a view of the future. The need is now to protect our growing population, jobs, and healthy families.

My View Arriving at a busy shopping mall, do you drive around endlessly in search of a space? Do you meander, as though on a Sunday drive through the country, until luck strikes? Or are you a different breed entirely, one who idles the car outside the mall doors? It’s not stalking, really, is it? Let’s call it “following with intent.” Sure, this approach might get you labelled a creep, but that’s not the only peril. After all, you might follow your target all the way across the lot only to watch as they dodge through some bushes to the sidewalk, and wait for a bus. Back to square one. The obvious solution is to first ask, “Hey, you leaving in a car?” before initiating the pursuit. If they nod, there will be that added charm of the fact you’re not only following them at
4 km/h in your vehicle, but they know you are. You’ve made a friend. Then there is the hybrid approach. You wander the lot until you spot someone with bags, or a shopping cart, and you make the contact there. It seems like serendipity, doesn’t it? Like a surprisingly pleasant chat with an attractive server at a restaurant. You’re both there for a purpose. You’re not a vulture. I must say, though, it’s good to pick your spots. If a woman is coming out of Superstore with two toddlers and a baby, and an obscene amount of groceries, “Hey, you leavin’?” might not get you a smile. When it comes to parking, I prefer the outdoor variety. Even if you’re not claustrophobic, there’s something about the cavernous, multi-tiered parkades at Metrotown and Pacific Centre that suggest a trip to the centre of the earth. I get short of breath. Even in a small car, the ceilings seem low, the spots squeakingly narrow. The real challenge is to find your car when you come back. There was a time when I just said to myself “You left it by the concrete pil-
lar” but soon learned this wasn’t good enough. Today, I get out of the car and walk backwards toward the elevator. It’s like previewing how things will look when I return. A friend takes this one step further and snaps a photo with her camera phone.
There was a time when I just said to myself, “You left it by the concrete pillar,” but soon learned this wasn’t good enough. For the tech lovers, there are also devices like the “Auto Finder,” which I found online from the appropriately named Finder Technologies. The website states it can “find your car from one-half mile away... using our
patented radio direction-finding technology.” Put the beacon on your windshield behind the rearview, and when you exit the shops all befuddled, anxious, catatonic, suicidal, pondering just abandoning your car forever – wherever the heck it is – you simply pull out your little fob, and press a button. Then you spin around in circles until, like a geiger counter or something, it suddenly goes beep-beep-beep and the arrows light up. An improvement on this, in my humble opinion, would be one that says “warmer... warmer... oh, you’re getting hot, hotter.” Finder Technology also sells a the Child Finder, and Pet Finder too, though I’m not sure where you’re supposed to affix the beacon to your kid. Regardless, it’s a great idea. You could just let them loose in the morning, then pull out the fancy gadget and track them down at the end of the day. No more daycare, no more using the kennel. Brilliant. Chris Bryan is editor of the NewsLeader, a sister paper to The News.

The facts on greenhouses Re: Letter, “Greenhouses the culprits?” Regarding the recent comment about Abbotsford’s proposed P3 water project and the impact of greenhouses. The writer could not be more misinformed on the subject of greenhouses: Greenhouses make far more effective use of land than field crops – estimates range from 5-10 times depending on the crop. Greenhouses can be and are built on land which cannot support field crops as the land is simply devoid of sufficient nutrients to sustain the crop. Greenhouses utilize a drip irrigation system which waters each plant individually. This is far more efficient than conventional sprinklers whereby much water is lost to evaporation Many greenhouses utilize wells, capture rain water and recycle surplus water in detention ponds and holding tanks. The combination of
these three techniques dramatically reduces the strain on municipal water supplies. Greenhouses are a major employer in the Abbotsford area, with many providing yearround employment, not just seasonal jobs. These jobs are inside (not exposed to inclement weather), safe and reliable. Without greenhouses, locally produced vegetables would not be able to meet demand, resulting in more importation from Mexico and other countries. This importation clogs our roads, reduces air quality and would drive up costs. The variety of produce would also suffer as many crops cannot be grown efficiently in a field environment. The safety of greenhouse produce is far beyond that available in a field environment. Scott Edwards
Not convinced about P3 project I am very much opposed to the P3 Stave Lake water project. I can’t be convinced that the privatization of the water supply is good for the citizens of Abbotsford. The information provided by the city and apparently endorsed by the majority of council is unbalanced and consequently deceptive. The intention of this information presumably is to instill fear of a supposed pending

water shortage and to show that the P3 project is the only solution. Interestingly, the cost of this deception is borne by the tax payers. It should be noted that in order for a private corporation to profit from operating a water supply system it would inevitably mean rates would be increased well above costs and/or services would be reduced.

Fans want Punjabi hockey broadcasts back
Jeff NAGEL Black Press
South Asian hockey fans are mobilizing again to try to save the Punjabi language broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada after
the CBC cancelled the show last week. A spokesman said CBC was unable to secure a sponsor to offset the production cost. But fans of the weekly specialty cable TV show say it’s a
cultural phenomenon that helps reconnect generations of IndoCanadian families and tighten ties to Canada and the national sport. Supporters on a 4,000-strong Facebook
group devoted to the show (http:// www.facebook.com/ groups/nhlpunjabihockey/) are hoping the CBC relents. “We want it back,” said Surrey student Jasmine Samra,
ABBOTSFORD DISTRICT TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION 2570 CYRIL STREET ABBOTSFORD, B.C. V2S 2G2 Telephone: Facsimile:
604-854-1946 604-850-5100
Dear parents and guardians, As you may know, teachers are currently engaged in bargaining and, due to a lack of movement at the provincial table, voted to take job action. However, we want to assure you that we are in our classrooms focusing on teaching, rather than on the growing number of administrative tasks that have been increasingly taking time away from teaching and learning. Teachers are teaching, preparing lessons, planning and assessing, and evaluating our students. We are also taking attendance, helping students who need assistance before and after class, and dealing with emergencies. In addition, teachers are contacting parents to set up a meeting if there is any concern with a student and, likewise, parents can contact teachers to set up a meeting at a mutually agreeable time.
adding even elderly family members get swept up in hockey fever. “Bring back Hockey Night in Punjabi,” wrote Jaspreet Jessica Kaur Ghag on Facebook. “How is there a lack of support?” Amarinder Singh, who co-hosts the pro g ram with Harnarayan Singh, said he’s getting 20 to 30 similar messages a day from viewers in the Lower Mainland. Many South Asian fans joined spontaneous street celebrations in Surrey and Abbotsford during the team’s Stanley Cup playoff run. Hundreds of jerseywearing, flag-waving Canucks’ fans – largely South Asian – would celebrate after games. Despite the crowds, gatherings remained peaceful, even after the team’s heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins, which sparked a fullon riot in downtown Vancouver. Balwant Sanghera, president of the

During last season’s Stanley Cup run, Vancouver fans took their celebration to the streets of Abbotsford. Punjabi Language E d u c a t i o n Association, was part of a petition campaign that persuaded CBC executives to back down when they tried to scrap the show a year ago. “I think it’s gone a long way in promoting national unity and national pride,” the Richmond resident said, adding he hopes the show is restored. Besides introducing more Punjabi speakers to hockey, he
said, it’s been a way for parents, grandparents and children to bond over a shared interest. “It brings three generations together,” Sanghera said. “It’s extremely beneficial to the community and to the country as a whole.” There are nearly 800,000 Punjabi speakers in Canada and it’s the most spoken language after English in cities such as Surrey and Abbotsford.

Speci¿cally with regards to report cards, although teachers will not be producing formal reports, teachers will continue to record assessment and evaluation data. Teachers will continue to communicate student progress clearly to the students through formative feedback, marks on assignments, tests and indications about overall progress. Teachers may choose one of the following ways to report to parents: • Verbally when meeting informally, face-to-face; • A phone call home especially if the student is struggling; • Send home assignments or tests for parents to sign and return; • Comments in the students agenda or homework book; • A note home; • A quick email message to parents; • Through the school’s online marks program, ie: Check My Mark, Check My Progress, etc. (for Secondary and Middle schools only) If you have any questions or concerns, please talk to your child’s teacher or contact the ADTA of¿ce 604-854-1946 for additional information.

Pair allegedly broke away from Duhre Group Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Two men who police have said were part of a gang that had broken away from the Duhre Group pleaded guilty this week to drug charges. Aaron Somerville, 25, and his brother, Matthew, 26, were each charged with several drug possession and trafficking offences in October, November and December 2010. Most of those charges were stayed in Abbotsford provincial court on Tuesday, when Aaron pleaded guilty to one count of possession for the

purpose of trafficking from Nov. 11, 2010, and Matthew pleaded guilty to one count of trafficking in cocaine from Oct. 29, 2010. Sentencing has been scheduled for Dec. 19. The pair were arrested last December following a police investigation into the activities of a group alleged to have broken away from the Duhres. Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich said last year that the Duhre Group is the prominent gang currently operating in the city. The new group had been oper-
A fireworks ban will be actively enforced in this community from now until Halloween, says Abbotsford’s fire chief. Don Beer said Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service, the Abbotsford Police and the city’s bylaw enforcement division will ensure residents follow the bylaw that prohibits the sale, possession and discharge of fireworks in the city. The bylaw was put in place in 2005 due to an increase in the number of
ating for about eight weeks at the time of the Somervilles’ arrests, according to police. Two other alleged members of the splinter group were arrested and charged around the same time, and are still before the courts in relation to a violent home invasion in Abbotsford on Nov. 5, 2010. Michael Lopeke, 23, and Jared Klade, 24, were each charged with two counts of robbery with a firearm, break and enter, unlawful confinement, assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm.
fires, property damage and injuries related to fireworks. Fines range from $200 to $1,000. He said the risk of injury related to fireworks is highest for kids ages five to nine and teens ages 15 to 19. Both are at least two and a half times at risk compared to the general population, he added. Beer said fires caused by the illegal use of fireworks have almost been eliminated since the bylaw was established.

Costco attack witness comes forward to police
A13
Provides ‘valuable’ information Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A witness to the attack of a young boy at the Abbotsford Costco on Oct. 8 has come forward. Cost. Ian MacDonald said the man contacted police after a public plea was issued for witnesses following the incident. He could not reveal any information about the details the man provided. “We find that the information he has shared has been very valuable and he has been one of the best witnesses we have ever dealt with,” MacDonald said. No other useful tips have been received, he added. At about 12:15 p.m. on Oct. 8, a seven-year-old boy entered a stall in the men’s washroom at
Costco – located on Sumas Way – and locked the door. Shortly after, another boy, believed to be about 10 years old, climbed under the door and bit the younger boy’s lip. The father heard the boy scream and rushed into the bathroom to find him crying and bleeding. The dad didn’t realize an assault had occurred until they were at the hospital, where his son received stitches for his injured lip. MacDonald said about 10 to 12 people were in the washroom at the time of the incident. The boy’s description of his assailant was that he had dark hair and was wearing dark clothing, including possibly a camouflage-style sweater. Anyone with information is asked to the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Pickton farm in search of clues to her drug-addicted daughter’s disappearance but turned back when two Rottweilers appeared on the other side. Frey said it was the fall of 1998 – just over a year after 24-year-old Marnie vanished from the skid-row hotels she frequented. She said she zeroed in on the lair of serial killer Robert “Willie” Pickton after prostitutes predicted Marnie was
dead and suggested a man at a farm with a chipper was responsible. Others searching for missing women played her a tape recording of a man claiming to have information, Frey testified. “You’re never going to find these women,” she said the voice on the tape said. “They went with Willie and he’s got the chipper.” Frey was the first of several relatives to testify this week.

Stave Lake water: City offers answers to public’s questions
Abbotsford News Friday, October 28, 2011
Join us for the launch The event will features a local choir conducted by Henry Engbrecht. The choir will sing hymns which appear on the Canzona CD ‘Lasst die Herzen immer frohlich’ and the soon-to-be-released Christmas CD ‘Stille Nacht’ and a presentation of the ‘bonus features’ of the revised DVD on the making of ‘And When They Shall Ask’
SATURDAY, OCT. 29 at 7:00 PM
The City of Abbotsford has received numerous questions from residents in regard to the proposed Stave Lake water project, which will be the subject of a referendum on Nov. 19. City officials have offered the following responses to some of the public’s queries:
ing each of these measures and numerous others could potentially cut our water use in half, the report clearly stated that it would take 20 years to achieve this.
Do we have to do this now?
W h i l e we are strongly committed to water conservation, we cannot wait 20 years to address our water supply issue.
Yes. In summer, despite higher water rates, bans and restrictions, we are already coming close to having days when the amount of water we use will exceed supply. Such a situation could be disastrous. We cannot allow ourselves to be put in a situation where we do not have enough water to put out a fire.
and outside experts have looked extensively at options like using the Harrison River or expanding the Norrish C r e e k system. Based on the limited water we would gain, and the tremendous c o s t s involved, these options are not viable solutions.
WATER for the FUTURE A News special series
Can’t we just expand our current water supply sources? No. In the past decade, our engineers
Does it cost more to operate the Stave Lake system as a P3? Absolutely not. Opponents of the project who suggest this are leaving out
the costs of designing, financing and building the Stave Lake water project. When you factor in the lower start-up costs due to a competitive bidding process and the opportunity for a $61-million dollar federal grant, the cost of the project is $3.6 million per year less than if we built the project ourselves.

Can conservation help us delay a decision? No. As important as conservation is, and despite the numerous conservation measures we’ve taken and the progress we’ve made, we cannot reduce our consumption fast enough to address our growing consumption by 2016. The Polis report we commissioned in 2008 said we could only delay adding a new water supply if every business and household were forced to adopt water-saving technology and practices. This would include having all residents install low-water appliances, watersaving toilets, and rain barrel systems, and practising extreme water conservation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Under this scenario, the city would also use water bans and higher pricing to discourage water use, ban water-inefficient devices and enforce water-efficient landscape requirements. While implement-

Stave Lake, north of Mission, is the proposed new source of water for Abbotsford.
Water project Q&A From A21

Why isn’t Mission part of the project? Abbotsford and Mission explored different project models
for the Stave Lake water project. Based on our particular situation, our city council and city staff determined that proceeding now as a P3 model was the best solution for the people of Abbotsford. Mission city council decided to continue researching other options. As we proceed with the Stave Lake water project, our cities continue to work closely together on numerous other water
projects through the Abbotsford Mission Water & Sewer Commission.
If Stave Lake is in Mission, are we taking any Mission water or land? No. All water in BC is owned by the Province under the Water Act and the Water Protection Act. The water in Stave Lake is currently licensed by BC Hydro, and Abbotsford is working with the Province and BC Hydro on this project. The Stave Lake water treatment plant would be built on private or Crown land.
What control will we have over the operation of the Stave Lake water treatment plant?

CONTEST RULES: The winner will be drawn from the entries received. The draw will be held on Friday, Nov. 11, 2011, at 4:30pm. Employees of Black Press are not eligible. Participants must be at least 18 years of age. Judge’s decision is ďŹ nal.
Abbotsford monitors the distribution and quality of its water supply every minute of every day. The water quality at Stave Lake will also be monitored every day, and our engineers and water staff will have access to the plant at all times. Like the City of Abbotsford, the operators of the plant will be operating under the regulations of the BC Drinking Water Act, the Fraser Health Authority and Canadian Drinking Water standards. The private operator will be subject to British Columbian and Canadian law. As well, our contract with the private operator will have clearly defined performance levels and deadlines that they must meet or they will not be paid.

Colourful containers Over the next two seasons, when the weather turns cooler and wetter with shorter hours of daylight, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be wonderful to brighten up your patio with some great winter colour? Enhancing our patios with colourful containers is easier than you may think. You just need a different strategy for winter. First: the containers. Terracotta in our climate is not the best for winter. Well-fired, quality pots with a lacquer finish are usually fine, but most inexpensive clay absorbs moisture and is more susceptible to cracking and chipping in winter. Well-fired ceramics are fine, as are zinc, resin and well-made plastic containers. As a rule of thumb, the larger the container, the better the plants do in winter conditions, simply because of the larger soil mass. For a nicer look, try grouping the planters together and if you can, varying the heights. Soil is a key issue in winter. Open, porous, well-drained soil is a must. Regular potting soils hold too much moisture that tends to rot roots. Your best bet is to get a quality potting soil and add a third of bark mulch. This is essentially a nursery mix which is ideal for all winter plants. Most hardy plants will thrive in containers over winter and with cooler temperatures will need minimal maintenance. They will, however, need to be kept moist, especially if the containers are under eaves. The main winter issue is the degree of cold temperatures. Hardy plants in winter containers will do nicely down to about -8°C. Beyond that they need some protection. The easiest shelter is to simply create a protected area that is insulated properly to keep the containers out of severely cold winds and deep-freeze conditions. On patios, it is easier to wrap insulating materials, like the new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;N-Sulate,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; around the pots and plants. As soon as the worst of the cold is over, simply store these materials and your pot is

Gardening good to go until it gets severely cold again. As you select your plants, remember to ruffle up the rootballs a bit so they are more flexible and easier to fit into your contain-
ers. Pack your plants in tightly to get that attractive full look you are hoping for. I like using tall, thin unique conifers or broadleaved evergreens as focal points

and surrounding them with colourful heucheras, evergreen euphorbias and evergreen grasses. Berries liven up planters nicely, and small pyracanthus, wintergreen, compact evergreen cotoneasters, trailing sedums, rich purple ajugas and violas add that special finishing touch. Popping in some stems of contorted willows or filberts add height and drama, and if you add mini lights or new LED lights, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to enjoy the container at night as well. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never created your own winter container before, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surprised how easy it is and how attractive it looks. So much beautiful evergreen foliage is available today that, even without flowers, these containers can be stunning. Now is the time to add new life for a new season on your patio, so be adventurous and creative with all todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting new winter plants.

you are using petsafe, propylene-based antifreeze, which you will find at automotive supply stores if you’re adding it yourself, or you can ask your mechanic for it if you’re having your vehicle professionally winterized. Q Road salt is toxic if ingested and can also irritate dogs’ paws. When outside with your dog, pay special attention to where he’s walking and ensure you wipe his paws thoroughly after walks and play to remove any salt. The SPCA recommends using pet-friendly, noncorrosive de-icing compounds. Q Ice can also cut your dog’s paws – watch your dog closely for signs he may be injured during exercise, and check for cuts and sores after exercise. Q Cats and wild animals have been known to seek warmth inside the motor compartment of vehicles during winter. Make it a habit to thump the hood of your car before starting it to chase away any animals who may be hiding inside. Q The BC SPCA is strongly opposed to keeping pets outside, particularly in cold temperatures. If you must leave your animal outside for short periods, ensure that he or she has an appropriate shelter that is elevated off the ground and insulated. It should also be regularly cleaned and cleared of any environmental debris. The outdoor shelter should also be appropriate to the weight and coat of the animal; he or she must be able to sit, stand, lie down and turn around freely and easily. Q Your dog must also have access to potable water at all times so check regularly to ensure that the water in the dish is not frozen. Visit spca.bc.ca for more information on winter safety tips. Lorie Chortyk is the general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA.

Grade 7 student raises funds for Africa When Alexa Letkeman learned about the famine in East Africa, she knew she had to do something. The Grade 7 Mennonite Educational Institute (MEI) student learned about the drought and famine as part of a class at school, and was moved to action by the sheer scale of the disaster. “We had to answer some questions after we read about this famine and reading about how many people have died and how many people are close to dying really struck me,” she said. “I had to do something.” Alexa and her family attend the Bridge Community Church, where they
often hold bake sales. Alexa thought that this might be a good way to raise funds for people who are hungry. As she shared her idea with others, she received encouragement to pursue it. Her extended family and friends helped with the baking. The bake sale raised just under $1,000 for MCC’s response to the famine in East Africa. Organizing and participating in the bake sale taught Alexa a few things about herself. “I learned that I have a very compassionate heart that reaches out to people,” she said, adding that she often feels sad when she sees others in pain.
“I also learned that I am scared to go in front of a large amount of people and speak with no one by my side!” Her pastor’s wife suggested that Alexa send her funds to Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). After doing some research on the organization and learning how funds are used by MCC in response to the East Africa famine, she decided that this was the organization for her. Donations to MCC’s

SUPPORTING CANUCK PLACE RBC Dominion Securities Abbotsford branch presents the second installment of its pledge to raise $150,000 for the new Abbotsford extension of Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. Funds are raised through their annual charity golf classic held at Ledgeview Golf and Country Club. From left are Eric Grant, Laura O’Connell (tournament director), Christine Johnston, Ray Mohan (branch manager), Heather Andrews, Cameron Wilson, Lonny Andrews, Shlann Jones, Tony Markin, Jennifer Lachner and Laurie Shopland, Canuck Place campaign manager.
Students in need given a Boost
The Booster Juice Clearbrook location in Abbotsford began a campaign in conjunction with the launch of their school lunch program. In the month of September, they collected donations to buy school supplies for kids in the community whose families simply didn’t have the resources. They raised close to $300
and supplied 15 kids with backpacks filled with necessary school supplies. The students were enrolled at Clearbrook, Bradner, and Bakerview elementaries. The staff decorated the store with back-to-school decor and put out the school lunch program items with a donation chart to monitor success.

foundland premier Danny Williams, mountain climber Dr. T.A. Loeffler, songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, Toronto Raptors announcer Herbie Kuhn, and motivational speaker Justin Boudreau. The students were able to connect with many leadership students from all over the country, and brought back many great ideas to Yale.

With his first novel published and his third one underway, Brayden Hirsch is not your average teenager. Hirsch says that as a child he was always trying to entertain people, telling stories. Now, the Abbotsford local is an author. His book, Shadow Catalyst includes five thriller short stories that have a paranormal twist. It took him only

10 months to write. In addition to his regular class load at Abbotsford Christian Secondary School, Hirsch writes a minimum of two hours a day. This winter, he will be teaching two workshops on suspenseful writing on Washington’s Whidbey Island. “I’m fairly normal outside of my writing life,” Hirsch said, laughing. His stories delve into subjects that are mysterious and dark, and are always set in places that Hirsch has lived or visited. His imagination takes care of the rest.
“It’s what Stephen King calls the boys in the basement. The ideas are always there.” After placing in a few short story contests held by Steward House Publishers, the agency approached Hirsch and asked him to write a novel. The company, based out of the Puget Sound region, took him out to lunch and Hirsch signed his first contract. He sees writing as a job that he could have one day, and therefore treats it that way. Sitting down to write for hours is not the most enjoyable thing, Hirsch says, but seeing the finished product is

Microneedlng is a possible solution. It is done with medical grade rollers that have 200 very fine stainless steel pins that make “micro-channels” in the skin. This allows 80% deeper penetration of vitamins and serums found in your skincare products. This promotes cell regeneration and stimulates your collagen naturally. Microneedling is a cost effective treatment as some of the ‘rolling’ can be done at home and the more aggressive ‘rolling’ is done in the clinic by trained staff. It is safe for all skin types and can be used for treating wrinkles, scarring, sun damage and pore size.

Marlies crush Heat
Dhinsa wins silver at Pan Am Games
Road trip moves on to Grand Rapids for tonight’s tilt against the Griffins The Abbotsford Heat hit a major speed bump at the start of a four-game road trip, falling 5-0 to the Toronto Marlies at Ricoh Coliseum on Wednesday evening. Joe Colborne led the Marlies’ attack, notching two goals and an assist, while Greg Scott, Joey Crabb and Darryl Boyce added singles. Goalie Ben Scrivens stopped all 23 Heat shots as Toronto improved to 5-1-1-0. The Heat fell to 4-3-0-0, and netminder Leland Irving didn’t make it out of the first period – he got the hook at the 10:45 mark after allowing two goals on seven shots. Joni Ortio came on in relief, marking the first time this season a goalie other than Irving has been between the Heat pipes. The Finnish rookie stopped 21 of 24 shots. The Marlies out-shot the Heat 31-23, and a big part of Abbotsford’s offensive struggles can be attributed to the power play – they failed to convert any of their six man-advantage opportunities. The Heat made a pair of lineup changes on Wednesday. Captain Quintin Laing was back after missing Saturday’s home game against the Milwaukee Admirals to attend a family funeral. He drew into the lineup for Paul Byron, who was serving the first of a three-game suspension. Defenceman Chris Breen returned after being a healthy scratch the previous two games in favour of rookie James Martin; Breen and blueline partner Brendan Mikkelson both finished with a -3 rating. The Heat continue the road trip tonight, as they visit the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Abbotsford wrestling standout Sunny Dhinsa fought his way to a silver medal in the men’s 120 kg freestyle wrestling competition at the Pan American Games, held in Guadalajara, Mexico on Sunday and Monday. “I feel great. I’m one of the youngest athletes here,” Dhinsa said in the wake of his impressive victory. “I want to thank my family, my coaches and my trainers for getting me here.” Dhinsa lost in the final match to American Tervel Dlagnev, a former NCAA Division 2 champion and the returning Pan Am champ. Dhinsa has impressive credentials as a grappler. At the nationals in Edmonton in March, he won gold in both the senior Greco-Roman and the junior freestyle, and silver in the senior freestyle. At juvenile nationals in Windsor, Ont., in April he also won gold in both the freestyle and GrecoRoman. He placed 11th at the Junior Worlds in Romania in August. Also that month, at the Commonwealth Championships in Australia, he took gold in heavyweight and bronze in Greco-Roman.

Rugby club fighting for Premier spot The Abbotsford Rugby Football Club (ARFC) is hoping to take its place among the elite. ARFC and Burnaby are both looking to join Capilano RFC in Premier League qualification, and the rivals go headto-head on Saturday in Abbotsford. The game will be played at Central Fraser Valley Exhibition Park at 2:30 p.m. Abbotsford has not lost a qualifying game since Sept. 10 when they were held tryless in a 34-3 defeat to Capilano. The club went on to down Bayside 33-19 and produced an impressive 48-15 win over Vancouver Rowing Club last weekend. “Our main strengths have been how we have gelled as a team,” said Abbotsford head coach Jason Young ahead of this weekend’s clash. “The core group of guys have bought in and have taken things seriously. We have players with an array of ages that
work very hard and focus each and every week how to make the Abbotsford club better as a whole. It has created a culture.” “I am expecting a very good, physical game,” Young added. “We have had similar scores against the teams we have both played in the league. Kris De Scossa will have them well prepared and he is a great coach.” Burnaby Lake are 2-1 against qualifying teams and narrowly missed out on qualification when they fell 10-5 against Capilano on Oct. 15. They rebounded from the loss with a bonus point win against the Bayside Sharks and are now sitting one point ahead of Abbotsford in the qualification race. While Abbotsford holds the upper hand offensively, averaging 28 ppg to Burnaby’s 21, both teams boast lethal scorers in their arsenal. Abbotsford’s Patrick Shields is tied with Burnaby’s Jeke Gotegote for third
testing for berths, North Shore club Capilano RFC will go through regardless of this weekend’s result against the UBC Old Boys Ravens. Having missed out on Tier One rugby during the Spring 2011 season, Capilano proved to be worthy contenders during the qualification round. The Caps went 3-1 against qualifying teams, averaging a league best 29.25 points per game. They also led the league defensively, allowing
Hosts determining game Saturday highest scorer in the Spray League with 40 points. Gotegote is the league’s top try scorer with eight this season, while Shields has notched seven tries, a convert and one penalty. Chris Chalmers, a standout back rower with the BC senior men’s provincial team, has led Abbotsford in recent weeks. “Chalmers has captained the side the last three weekends
and has done a great job,” Young said. “He leads by example by making big tackles all over the field.” According to a press release from the B.C. Rugby Union, a ruling from the union’s Competitions Committee will now see eight teams contest for the Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League title, up from the original seven teams slated for the 2011-2012 season.
The ruling has determined that two teams from the Lower Mainland Men’s Spray Elite competition will qualify for the Premier League with the remaining sides set to join Vancouver Island’s Velox Valhallians in a final qualification round for the eighth spot. Based on the current standings between the five Lower Mainland sides con-
just 14 points against. The winner of Saturday’s Spray Elite matchup between Burnaby Lake Rugby Club and Abbotsford RFC will also go through to the Premier League, joining Capilano and the five automatic qualifiers; Castaway Wanderers RFC (Victoria), Meraloma Rugby Club (Vancouver), UBCOB Ravens (Vancouver), University of Victoria Vikes and James Bay Athletic Association (Victoria).

Siemens paces Mouat
Two week’s ago Alexandra Siemens suffered a rare loss to another Valley runner when Walnut Grove’s Ashley Windsor beat the W.J. Mouat runner at the Big Rock meet. But at Wednesday’s Fraser Valley crosscountry championship, Siemens turned the tables to record a convincing win over Windsor and 154 other runners that took part in the senior girls race at Aldergrove Park. Siemens’ win led her W. J. Mouat team, coached by Cam Smith, to a Valley team championship and an automatic berth in the provincial meet on Nov. 5 in Kelowna. Siemens devised a race plan that worked well for her.
B.C. CHAMPIONSHIPS
“It was important that I put some pressure on Ashley just after the halfway point, and not let her get away from me going up the steep hill,” she said. Indeed, after climbing that hill for the second time Siemens had opened up a lead of more than 60 meters that she held to the finish. The other scoring members of the Mouat team included Callum Pilgrim (7th), Sarya Ross (8th), Francesca Jackman (20th) and Amanda Thompson (68th). Local results from some the other races saw Alicia Unruh of MEI come second in the junior girls race, and Aiden Bingert of Mouat place ninth in the junior boys’ division.

The Fraser Valley’s Own.
Whitecaps fire Miller Former Abbotsford Soccer Association head coach Colin Miller has been fired from his post as an assistant coach with the Vancouver Whitecaps. Miller, a former Canadian national team player and coach, joined the Whitecaps in 2010 under Teitur Thordarson. Thordarson was fired 12 games into the 2011 season, Vancouver’s first in Major League Soccer, and Miller stayed on under interim bench boss Tom Soehn. But with Martin Rennie set to take the head coaching reins on a permanent basis, the Whitecaps let Miller and fellow assistant Denis Hamlett go on Thursday in order to allow Rennie to assemble his own staff. Miller served two stints as ASA head coach – 2000 to 2007, and 2009-10. Q The Honda Way Tournament, the University of the Fraser Valley’s inaugural preseason men’s basketball event, tips off tonight (Friday) at the Envision Athletic Centre.

Friday’s action sees TRU take on Northwest (6 p.m.), and UFV against Guelph (8 p.m.). On Saturday, Guelph faces TRU, followed by UFV vs. Northwest (7 p.m.).

Sports in Brief Park. For more information, email westerns2012@gmail.com. Q Kellan Tochkin of Abbotsford was involved in a Western Hockey League trade this week, moving from the Medicine Hat Tigers to the Prince Albert Raiders. Tochkin, a 20-year-old right winger who signed with the Vancouver Canucks as a free agent in 2009, is in his final season of junior eligibility. He was obtained by the Raiders in exchange for defenceman James Bettauer and a sixth-round bantam draft pick. Tochkin had eight points – all assists – in 10 games with Medicine Hat this season, and has scored 214 points in 227 WHL appearances with the Everett Silvertips and Tigers over the course of his junior career. Fellow Abbotsford native Joey Kornelsen was also on the move, as the Moose Jaw Warriors sent him to the Calgary Hitmen as part of a four-player trade. Kornelsen, an 18-year-old forward, had one goal and four assists in 12 games with the Warriors this season. Q Jill Saunders and Aaron Pauls have been named the University of the Fraser Valley’s athletes of the week. Saunders, a fourth-year setter on the women’s volleyball team, led the Cascades to a pair of straight-sets victories over crosstown rival Columbia Bible College last weekend. Pauls paced the UFV men’s golf team to a bronze medal at the CCAA national championships in Charlottetown, PEI, and finished fourth in the individual standings. He was named a CCAA All-Canadian for his efforts.

DONALDSON Isabella Helen Born: November 23, 1909 ~ Oban, Scotland Died: October 19, 2011 ~ Nanaimo, BC
It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that the family announces the passing of our mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and GG just five weeks before her 102nd birthday. Predeceased by her husband Jim, her parents Jim and Ellen Neil, her brothers Hamish and Andy Neil and her sister Jessie Hunt, she leaves to mourn her daughter Pat Klein (Allan) of Edmonton and her son Neil (Joan), her granddaughters Tara Martin (Greg), Erica Ball (Greg) and Loni Martineau (Yves) and greatgrandchildren Ben and Haley Martin and Emma and Austin Ball all of Nanaimo, BC. Also left to mourn are her cousin Nellie Cooke of Grande Prairie, nieces Jean Payne of Leduc and Donna Gummer of Spruce Grove plus a multitude of friends. Mom was truly an amazing woman who was always interested in everyone and everything. Arriving in Saskatchewan from Scotland when she was 12, she learned to bake bread and make jam from the farm ladies and was still making jam well into her 90’s! She was also a super knitter and was knitting up to last year. We know that Heaven will never be short of homemade jams and knitted sweaters! Because Mom liked to read so much and always said she learned so much from reading, donations in her memory may be made to a group in Nanaimo that helps adults learn to read. Their address is: Literacy Central VI, 19 Commercial St., Nanaimo, BC V9R 5G3. Special thanks to the staff on the second floor of Malaspina Gardens in Nanaimo, who made the last years of Mom’s life so wonderful. No funeral by request.

Angelo Rea B.Th., M.T.S.
Area Manager DIGNITY FUNERAL HOMES
In January 2007, I received a call from my family, then immediately flew to Toronto. It was a Tuesday evening when I arrived, and I went straight to my dad’s house, then over to Pat’s. My dad did not want to go, however I insisted. We knew that Pat was in her final stage of life. My dad did not like the sign of me flying home. He knew what that meant. The time was near. He was going to experience the death of his daughter. The hope that he’d been clinging to was now threatened, and my father was still in denial. My family dynamics were different. I was losing a sister. We wonder, “Why do the good die young?” Life at this point is unfair but what does it mean to be fair? We have choices to make. We live in the best country in the world, and we
are blessed with abundance. And we need to ask ourselves, Why not me? Why my family? Why my sister? Yet, the most difficult commonality that each one of us face is death. My dad was going to experience the loss of his daughter. That Tuesday night he came face to face with his daughter’s death. He’d sacrificed his entire life for his family and yet there was nothing he could do to save his daughter from her death. My father wept very loud and hard. He embraced his daughter and said I wish I could help you. At that moment I felt a peace in the room. My father came to accept that his daughter was going to die. Acceptance begins the process of healing. It takes us through a healthy “miserable” journey.

Getting ready for baby
Daniel Twig at Lord Twig Design has a few ideas for new parents who are planning the perfect nursery.
By Maggie Calloway The temptation, especially for your first child, is to go over the top a bit decorating the baby nursery. What you need to stop and think through is that your new bundle of joy grows at an alarming rate and the nursery decorated for a newborn quickly becomes inappropriate for the toddler and beyond.

October 2011 PRODUCTS kk QUALIFIED TRADES kk EXPERT ADVICE kk
Time to call in the closet experts By Maggie Calloway You have made the difficult decisions about what clothes to keep and what to toss or donate. You have ruthlessly gone through all your drawers and cupboards, including the dreaded â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to put it so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just stick it in the catchall drawer until laterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drawer. We all have one of those; I could probably build a summer house including electrical and plumbing out of mine! You have resisted the temptation to keep things â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;just in caseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and passed it on to someone who could really use it, and now comes the reward. Could this be the time to call in the experts, to create custom storage solutions unique to your needs? To finally get rid of those sagging rails and shoe jumble at the bottom of your closet? Chris Isfeld, along with his brother Brett, are partners in the custom closet design company Designer Closet Guys. Isfeld, an engineer by training, came to B.C. after graduating to work for a plastic company who, among other things, made shelving products. In 2000 the general manager of the company and Isfeld decided to venture out on their own to start a company manufacturing
This Vancouver heritage home was given a full-on renovation by Todd Senft at reVISION Custom Home Renovations, in partnership with Lighthouse Sustainability.

Vancouver heritage home gets a facelift reVISION Custom Home Renovations goes to work in an old house with character. By Maggie Calloway This was a full-on renovation by Todd Senft of reVISION Custom Home Renovations. A new top story was added, then the whole house including the bottom suite was renovated down to the studs and beyond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a heritage, character home on the east side of Vancouver. The project was very unique in that two intertwined projects were happening
at the same time,â&#x20AC;? Senft says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My company was contracted to do the renovation and at the same time Lighthouse Sustainability was contracted by Metro Vancouver to do an audit of everything that came out of the house that was recycled or repurposed. Because this was a significant renovation it was a prime project for them to look at everything during deconstruct, which is a term they use instead of demolition. In real terms for us it meant everything being removed from the home must be dismantled in a way they could more easily recycle rather than just crushing them and throwing them into a bin.â&#x20AC;? Lighthouse conducted a pilot project on this renovation to document real-world experiences
and challenges in recycling and re-purposing every possible item removed from the home. The roofing shingles were separated; the roof sheathing, drywall, insulation and flooring were also separated. Doors and windows were carefully removed for recycling and every single item was weighed for comparison purposes. This was an exciting project because while it is a noble endeavor to talk about diverting building materials from the landfill there was, and is, a need to get hard facts on what it takes and what is possible. It takes a lot longer to remove items with care,

Abbotsford News Friday, October 28, 2011
All the conveniences of a new home in your comfortable, familiar house Âť from page B1 separate everything and arrange for various businesses to remove them. Taking longer means more expense to both the renovator and subsequently to the homeowner but because the landfill charges by tonnage, savings are realized at that end of the process. It is impossible to make long-term policy decisions without hard data and this project helped move that data forward. And what about the renovation itself? The family, including two kids and the downstairs tenant, moved out for the seven months of the renovation. The only things saved from the original home were the kitchen cupboards and countertops, as the homeowners had recently renovated the kitchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the new top story, consisting of two bedrooms, one bath and a roof deck, the original foundation would not carry the load so we had to raise and support the house while we removed the old foundation, pour a new one and put in new drainage around the house,â&#x20AC;? Senft says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the main floor we took out the original brick chimney to create an open space between the dining room, living room and kitchen. Open-plan living on this floor made great sense for the family. There is also a bathroom and one bedroom on this floor. Then we created a staircase by the entry to go up to the new top floor. The basement floor had an original rental suite which was also totally renovated and remains a separate suite.â&#x20AC;? The renovated house is completely energyefficient. The family plans to stay in the home for the long term so it made perfect sense to spend the extra money up front to purchase top-of-the-line mechanical systems with high energy-efficiency. This is a decision anyone planning a major
renovation should keep in mind. It takes an average of five years to gain a return on the investment but the average turnover in housing in British Columbia is also five years. Consequently if you sell, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the new owner who gets the advantage of your investment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a character home, which still fits perfectly in the neighbourhood, with a completely new heating system, new hot water system and insulation, the windows were upgraded, all the energy efficiencies you could ask for, all the conveniences of a new home,â&#x20AC;? Senft says. There is no question that an undertaking of this magnitude is hard on any family. First they are displaced, which is hard especially with children. There are the multitude of daily decisions to be made, and not to be dismissed is the financial commitment. Anyone contemplating a comparable renovation should first surround themselves with an experienced contractor and designer or architect, make as many upfront decisions as possible and, when the going gets stressful (and it probably will), keep your eye on the prize. Short term inconvenience for a long-term gain for your family is a worthy goal, especially when the end result is as amazing as this home became.

accessories, such as tie racks and belt racks. The partnership, although successful, was dissolved in 2007 but Isfeld was committed to the idea of a high-quality closet design company. In the meantime Isfeld had set up what we now know as Designer Closet Guys with Brett. Brett, who had a design background, was in Vancouver working for an entertainment lawyer and suffering from burn-out. His timing was perfect to have a long chat with his brother about career options, as Isfeld had decided there was a need for a local custom cabinet company and had contracted with a Richmond-based manufacturer to represent their product. The rest is history. So how does the process work once you have made the decision to organize your home, or part thereof, once and for all? “Every home is unique so we start with a consultation in the home to get an idea about style, space and what the client wants to achieve,” Isfeld says. “The space is measured then we are able to show the client immediately, on computer, a design mock-up of how we see the best use of available space for their particular needs.” They then refine the design back at the office, and present the client with a detailed drawing.

“(We are) constantly refining until the client is totally happy. A date is set for installation and because we do our own installations the client can be sure they are getting the best possible service.” A lot of homes today have actual dressing rooms, so it makes great sense to make the best use of the space. “Having well-designed storage is a great investment because not only will the client enjoy an organized home but on re-sale it is an added benefit,” Isfeld says. “In my own home we have a kitchen/great room where we spend all our time so we converted what was the formal living room into a dressing room. What we saved from not having to buy furniture for a space we wouldn’t use we invested in creating a room which enhances our lives. Our master is on the main floor so now we have a large, pretty fantastic master suite.” Isfeld would like to remind people that no matter how great it is to finally have everything under control, longterm success depends on them having a system in place. They can’t just keep bringing items into the home because even the new system is finite. “If they bring something new into the home they need to let something go,” Isfeld says. “This way the home will remain organized.”

“Snake Charmer!” That’s the reputation our electricians have earned because of the creative and efficient manner in which they “snake” electrical wiring through existing walls. Our guys have spent their professional careers magically running cable in places where others say it’s impossible. And they do it without creating large gaping holes in your walls, so there’s never extensive “surprise” patching needed. I can tell you from experience, that 99.9% of electricians do not have this same track record. Most electrical contractors are clueless about snaking wires professionally, because the majority of their work is in new homes, before the drywall goes up. Let one of them (or the cable TV guy) run wiring in your home, and they’ll most likely staple it along a baseboard (ugly and unprofessional) or punch a hole in your wall, causing you, additional, inconvenience and expense in repairs and repainting. On the other hand, our guys are masters at hiding wires in your walls.
In addition to possessing almost superhuman snake charming skills, Blue Crest Electric technicians are: Q On time. We guarantee we’ll arrive within the 2 hour window of your appointment.

Mid-century modern a current trend in home decor By Maggie Calloway
Jennifer Brash of FULLHOUSE Modern says that part of the appeal of mid-century modern decor is the history and character that each piece brings to your home.

To say that mid-century modern furniture, from the early 1950s to the 1960s, is hot is an understatement. Unlike the style of the mid-last century where people bought a whole houseful of the same style (think Danish teak furniture), now these beautifully designed, extremely well-made individual pieces are carefully chosen and integrated, with pride of place, into more eclectic decor styles. FULLHOUSE Modern in Vancouver is a treasure trove of midcentury and Danish modern, vintage, industrial and contemporary furniture and collectibles, and a go-to place for designers and people looking for just the right piece. Owner Jennifer Brash is an encyclopedia on the background of each piece and style. “Today people decorate their homes much Jennifer Brash differently,” Brash says. “They may buy a mid-century bed and maybe a dresser, but the side tables would be different or they might have vintage bed and side tables but a modernist chair. They may include some lighting that is not period so it’s not so matchy-match, which is not interesting.” Part of the appeal is the history and character, Brash says. “People are using pieces for their beautiful patina, craftsmanship, character and history to warm up their space. Modernism is very popular right now with lots of glass, chrome, and hard surfaces so they are introducing the wood pieces almost like objects of art; they make the space livable and give depth to the room,” she says. What those of us who lived in the 50s and 60s didn’t appreciate at the time was how timeless these pieces are. They are not ornate, the scale is perfect and the wood is unparalleled. The Brazilian rosewood has a moratorium on its harvest so it is no longer available. The Burmese teak has a grain which no longer exists because the Danes, after the Second World War, went in and harvested all the old growth in Indonesia so the graining and deep patina is only available on furniture of that era. “The teak that is harvested today is out of a tree farm and it’s more blond, more like birch,” Brash says. “The colouring isn’t there and the graining isn’t there because it’s new growth rather than old growth. The mid-century furniture has such appeal because of the wood, the design, the functionality and the craftsmanship. The Danes are known around the world as being some of the finest furniture makers. What’s known as Danish modern are the most coveted.” Though there are pockets of beautiful work in Italy, they tended to use more plastics and metal, Brash says. “California also produced plastics when industrialization was happening and they were experimenting with molds, the Charles Eames era.” This era in North America was the expansion of suburbanism. The car moved people to the suburbs and the homes were mostly ranchers and not the Craftsman homes that were in the inner cities. They were built quickly to house returning soldiers and their young families, and they needed to be filled with modern furniture; the heavy dark furniture was not suitable to this new style of openness and an uncluttered and easy-to-care-for home. “The style was simple, clean lines, organic shapes. The design was functional and visually streamlined and pleasing,” Brash says.

The trick is for the room to be flexible enough to grow along with the child. Daniel Twig of Lord Twig Design is an expert at pulling together a fabulous baby nursery which will still, with a few adjustments, change as your child grows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I am invited by a client to design a new nursery I really pay attention to what the rest of the home looks like,â&#x20AC;? Twig says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though this room is for a child, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t design a traditional nursery in a very contemporary home or vice versa; you need a flow. My target is always to create a room which will help make the baby secure, content and stimulated.â&#x20AC;? Twig agrees that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not best to create a room that is only for a newborn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can spend an awful lot of money on furniture which is only functional for a very short time,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main pieces in the room, the chest of drawers, the comfortable chair, etc. should be of good quality but not age-specific, which will last for years ... The room can be made age-appropriate by wallpaper or decals, curtains and cushions; things that are easily changed and not expensive. This way the room has longevity.â&#x20AC;? Twig understands that when a room is being designed for an anticipated baby, it is really for the parents. The baby doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anything from it because they just want love and food. Because of this, he spends a lot of time making the room a practical space for the parents and a soothing, calming and relaxing place for the new child. If the mom is relaxed, the baby will be happy.
After the crib, the most important piece of furniture in the room is an appropriate chair for mom. When you have to feed a baby every few hours you need a comfortable, supportive chair, especially at three in the morning. Even an eight-pound baby becomes heavy and exhausting! The great thing is Lord Twig Design is very knowledgeable about what makes a great nursery both for the baby and the parents. Good to know there is one less thing to stress about.
