Citizens may be able to remotely vote over the Internet to elect their mayor and council as early as 2014. Union of B.C. Municipalities delegates voted by a two-to-one margin Wednesday to urge the province to lay the groundwork to allow online voting as an option three years from now. Advocates of the idea say it could reverse a trend of sagging voter turnout, while detractors worry casting a ballot may no longer be secret, opening the door to vote-tampering by interest groups out to sway the result. “We all have to acknowledge the fact society has changed,” said Coquitlam Coun. Linda Reimer, one of the delegates who voted in favour. Just 20.5 per cent of Coquitlam voters turned out in

White Rock Coun. Lynne Sinclair dismissed another delegate’s suggestion many seniors aren’t tech-savvy and wouldn’t benefit. She said one Ontario city that al-
lows online voting found most users are seniors with mobility problems. Others warned it’s too risky to end the long tradition of voting secretly in a ballot booth at an authorized polling place. “Online voting is fraught with danger,” said Sunshine Coast Regional
District director Donna Shugar. “You don’t know who is in the room with a voter coercing or persuading them. We do not allow people to go in the polling booth with other people when they are voting.” When the voting booth becomes your computer in your
home, she said, such restrictions and safeguards will no longer exist. “It’s too easy to hack a system,” added Fraser Valley Regional District director Wendy Bales, predicting the technology – if it backfires – may not strengthen democracy but further erode faith in the system. “This isn’t being forced on anyone,” countered Kelowna Coun. Kevin Craig. “If it’s not right for your community, you’re not being railroaded into it.” C o m m u n i t y, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong has promised to pursue the idea, which would require a change of legislation and time to sort out the technological issues. Another tradition that will definitely end in 2014 is November voting. From that year on, local voting will happen in October.

Revisit Global deal? Sweeting: Switch ticket agency, look at seat sale commissions Dan KINVIG and Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford Heat’s budget shortfall for the 2010/11 season will cost local taxpayers nearly $1.4 million dollars, almost $200,000 higher than forecast by the city, and first reported by The News in May. That final figure was confirmed by Lane Sweeting, a member of the local investors group which manages the American Hockey League club. The Heat are two years into a 10-year supply fee agreement to play out of the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, which guarantees the team a break-even budget of $5.7 million annually. The city covered a shortfall of $450,637 in 2009/10, making the total Heat deficit in its first two years approximately $1.85 million. The Heat’s 2010/11 financial report is expected to be presented to city council at Monday’s council meeting. Sweeting said the team fell short of expectation in terms of ticket sales, corporate sales, and concession revenue. “The shortfall is basically in all three areas in different levels,” he said. “Certainly, our biggest challenge is ticket sales.” According to AHL attendance stats, the Heat averaged 3,807 fans per game last season, 26th out of 30 AHL teams. That’s a 2.4 per cent decrease on what they drew in their inaugural campaign of 2009/10. According to Sweeting, the team’s season ticket base dipped from 1,100 in the first year to 650 last season, but saw an increase in single-game tickets and flex packs. “What happens in year two is, people realized that 40 games back-to-back are a lot of games,” he said. “The glitz is off, and they settle back into buying a 10-game pack or a 20-game pack rather than a season ticket pack. “It’s something we knew was going to happen. Everyone told us it was going to happen. I don’t think anyone thought it would

BUDGET NUMBERS 2010/11 season
While the City of Abbotsford has yet to release the final financial numbers for the Abbotsford Heat’s second season, it has been confirmed the deficit is just under the $1.4 million mark, more than three times higher than the first-season shortfall and $200,000 more than projected by the city in May 2011. When the city’s audited financial statements were released five months ago, a $1.209-million deficit was predicted for the local AHL club. Projections are required because the city and the Heat have different year-end periods. The city’s finances are calculated Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, while the Heat figures (based on a full season of hockey) run July 1 to June 30.
2009/10 season
According to numbers released by the city in November 2010, the Abbotsford Heat had a deficit of $450,637 in its inaugural season. The club’s regular season revenues totaled $5,054,783 and a playoff run added an additional $194,580 for a total season revenue of $5,249,363. Under a supply agreement with the city, the Heat are guaranteed break-even revenue of $5.7 million in revenue. Originally, in March 2010, the city had projected the first-year loss to be $275,000. Detailed team budgeting has not been made available to the public. However, as part of last season’s final figures, an expense sheet for the 2009/10 season was released.

age includes partnerships with New Era Tickets, Ovation Food Services, and Front Row Marketing, which handles commercial sales and premium seats for the arena and the Heat. All four companies are under the umbrella of Philadelphia-based entertainment corporation Comcast Spectacor. Sweeting would like to see the city revisit the Global Spectrum arrangement on two fronts. He’s asking the city to consider switching ticket agencies, from New Era to Ticketmaster. He believes the latter company’s dominant market share would facilitate “impulse buys,” and boost the Heat’s bottom line. “There’s nothing wrong with New Era as far as the software or the box office,” he said. “They just don’t have market share. “The Canucks, the Lions, the Giants, the Whitecaps, they all use Ticketmaster. They have hundreds of thousands of names in their database. “Whether that’s a $100,000 problem, a $200,000 problem, or a $300,000 problem, we really don’t know ... All we’re saying is, go do a study. Get those numbers for us.” It’s “cumbersome,” Sweeting added, that the hockey team’s premium seat sales are handled separately by Front Row Marketing. Beyond that, he’d like to see a restructuring of the commission Front Row takes from Heatrelated sales, although he would not detail what that is. “What we are encouraging the city to do is renegotiate that contract so that the fees that are charged are more realistic in today’s market,” he said. City manager Frank Pizzuto said the numbers generated by Front Row last season were “reasonably good” and “actually grew” despite a drop in ticket sales. As for the commission structure, the city and Global Spectrum have already been looking at the issue. “It’s likely the commission structure will change,” said Pizzuto, adding the city will not “stay still” on the agreement. As for the Ticketmaster/New Era debate, there are no plans to change at this point. “We have a master agreement with Global Spectrum for 10 years ... we have to work with all the partners,” he said. He refused to comment on the actual financial numbers until Continued on A7

NewsBytes PROPERTY CRIMES DOWN Abbotsford Police have recorded their lowest number of property crimes in the community since the beginning of 2009, according to Deputy Chief Rick Lucy. He presented the latest CompStat (computer statistics) figures at the monthly police board meeting for the period from Aug. 13 to Sept. 9, when there were 356 such crimes. Lucy said this is the lowest number of property crimes for any CompStat period since January 2009. The total number of property crimes for the year, up until Sept. 9, is 4,246, compared to 4,572 for the same period in 2010. This is a seven per cent reduction – close to the Abbotsford Police Department’s goal of a 10 per cent drop for the year.

Abbotsford’s Vedder Transport will begin using the first 12 of its 50 liquefied natural gas trucks beginning on Oct. 1. A fuelling station for the LNG has been constructed on the trucking company’s property. FortisBC and Vedder Transport worked together to construct the station. Vedder Transport will now be able to refuel its new fleet of LNG-powered trucks on their own premises at rates regulated by the BC Utilities Commission. Fred Zweep, president of Vedder, said the first 12 trucks are ready to go with the remaining fleet scheduled to be running by the end of the year. “At Vedder, we are committed to protecting the environment for future generations. “Adding natural gas trucks to our fleet will help us reduce transportation-related emissions, ultimately improving air quality while reducing fuel management expenses,� said Zweep LNG has been shown to create less greenhouse gas than regular diesel. According to Doug Stout, vice-president, energy solutions and external relations for FortisBC, the new trucks will “be emitting up to 27 per cent less greenhouse gases (GHGs) than their diesel counterparts.� Using a model developed for Natural Resources Canada to calculate GHG emissions, an LNG-powered truck driven 190,000 kilometres per year is estimated to produce about 70 fewer tonnes of GHGs annually than its diesel counterpart – helping Vedder Transport to reduce its GHG emissions by approximately 3,500 tonnes per year.

Although he is not believed to be either of the suspects who committed simultaneous bank robberies on Saturday, MacDonald said police are considering whether they might all be connected. The other two robberies occurred at about 2:10 p.m. Saturday at Coast Capital Savings and RBC Royal Bank in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way. Lone men entered each business and produced notes demanding cash. They did not display weapons nor did they suggest they were carrying any. Both were Causcasian, in their 20s and with slim builds. One had gapped teeth, and the other had large bulging eyes. Subway robberies on Sept. 4 and 6 took place at the location in the 2600 block of McMillan Road, and the third was on Sept. 21 in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way – in the same shopping complex as the simultaneous bank robberies. All took place just before 10 p.m., when staff were preparing to close for the night. The suspect in all three cases was described as Caucasian, in his 40s, 5’ 3” to 5’ 5” and with a thin build and scruffy beard. In all three, the man was holding a handgun by his side, although it’s not known whether it was real or a replica. No suspects have been arrested in any of the incidents, although police have identified some “people of interest” based on past criminal history. Video surveillance is also being reviewed. Anyone with information is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

WebTalk Homeless in Abby
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Do you approve of the city dismantling homeless camps and referring occupants to services?
My suggestion is stop handing them anything. We should test all the supposed homeless for their mental capabilities, and if they are good, just tell them to get off their rear ends and get a job! You just have to want to work and not be lazy. 5440
To answer, go to abbynews.com
Let’s see you get off your rear, and go hire them and not act like some loser when they “don’t get it,” because they run off in another mind state that allows them to feel safe, and that doesn’t engage in playing stupid mind games that demand superiority or a response to childish immaturity. Gumball
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED: Are tougher drinking driving laws unfairly impacting restaurants and bars?
It’s easy to spout off, “no handouts, get a job, force them to get help.” We are a free people in Canada, and part of that responsibility is caring for those in need who cannot help themselves. It takes people who care to give the helping hand, and yes, the handouts, which in turn may inspire just one homeless person to get the help they need to live a better life. tiredinabby

Lack of vision from those who would cancel Bush Frank
Bucholtz
On Point An attempt by a Saskatoon blogger and others to prevent former U.S. president George W. Bush from appearing at next month’s Surrey Regional Economic Summit is a classic exhibition of shortsightedness. It also shows how many people have such closed minds that they refuse to consider there is more than one side on most issues. This myopia may help them feel secure in their opinions, but it does little to promote understanding of complicated issues, and of differing perspectives. Bush, a Republican, is scheduled to appear on stage with former president Bill Clinton, a Democrat, on Oct. 20. Bush succeeded Clinton in occupying the White House, and together, the two presidents headed the world’s most powerful government for 16 years, from
1993 to 2009. To have both of them in Surrey for an economic summit is a tremendous coup for this city. The period they were in charge of the U.S. government was critical in setting the economic stage for today. Their insights are of great value. It is revealing, but not surprising, that there seems to be no concern about Clinton appearing in Surrey. This is obviously due to his politics, and the fact that he is not associated with the unpopular war in Iraq. Bush was president of the U.S. at the time of 9/11, as has been noted extensively in recent weeks, during the 10th anniversary of that horrible attack. Bush created the Department of Homeland Security, which has continued to boost efforts by the U.S. government to prevent terrorists from entering their country. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq followed. The Afghan conflict, which continues, involved many Canadians and it was just earlier this year that Canada’s military role in Afghanistan ended. Both he and Clinton presided over economic boom times in the U.S., and in the latter part of his presidency, Bush
had to deal with the subprime mortgage crisis and the near-collapse of the U.S. banking system. To hear firsthand about these times, and the decisions that were made, is of enormous benefit to the investors, business people and decision-makers who will attend the summit.
To have two former presidents attend and speak will boost the value of the summit even further. Former British prime minister Tony Blair was keynote speaker at an earlier Surrey summit, and was a controversial choice as well. He added immeasurably to the value of the event, and helped ensure that it continues to be regarded as one of the top business forums in B.C. each year. To have two former presidents attend and speak will boost the value of the
summit even further. It is vital that Surrey get the word out to those beyond the city borders of the economic opportunities that are available here. Whether it is the scorn of downtown Vancouver elitists, or the indifference of eastern money changers, Surrey has had to struggle in the past to get that message out. The summits have helped tremendously to change that perspective, and Mayor Dianne Watts and organizers deserve a lot of credit. Surrey has a very bright future, and a good deal of future economic activity will be directly related to the city’s position on the U.S. border and to U.S.-Canada trade relationships. It would be very unfortunate if a few people with political axes to grind derail this event. Those who care about Surrey’s future and don’t get enmeshed in political shortsightedness are more broadminded and forward-thinking. Hopefully, they will prevail, and both former presidents will make this year’s Surrey Regional Economic Summit the best ever. Frank Bucholtz is the editor of the Langley Times.

letters Recycling deposits on milk
Re: Recycling deposits on milk containers. Who came up with this stupid idea? This will be another tax grab by the government. In Ontario, they do the deposit to milk but no recycling fee is added. When you return the milk jug you get your deposit back or purchase a new jug of milk and not pay the deposit on the new jug. What happens to the old jug? I do not know if it is washed, sterilized and refilled. It may be. If you do not wish to return the jug, put it out in your blue box. Some kid will take it and collect the deposit. They also have milk in one-litre plastic bags

to which no fee is charged. The empty bag is put into the recycle bin – same with milk cartons, no charge. In my home nothing goes into the garbage that can be recycled. Jugs are washed before being sent for recycling; plastic coffee cups go, bread bags, shopping bags – anything that can be recycled is added. I have put out one garbage pail to three to four recycle bags. I also have a compost bin. As a 73-year-old pensioner, extra taxes I do not need without a substantial increase in my pension.

Beware gas marketers
I recently had a visit from a gas marketer. For those seeking a fixed market price over a five-year period the peace of mind this promises to provide may be a good thing. For others it can be an unpleasant surprise when they discover their gas bill has increased in cost. Several years ago I entered into a contract for the peace of mind that a fixed rate offered. A few years later I realized I had been paying double the rate charged by my gas provider. I then took the steps available and paid the penalty costs to
sever my relationship with the gas marketer. From that experience I decided to be more astute in the future. However, to my surprise, I am again dealing with another marketing company contrary to what I had been led to believe. During the recent visit with the gas marketer representative I politely listened to things I really didn’t understand. At the conclusion of his presentation I was asked to sign a form to confirm that information had been shared. Fortunately, later that day I read the fine print and discov-
ered I had actually signed a contract. I then took immediate steps to cancel by way of the 10-day cancellation option. This is something the police and other agencies consistently warn the public especially seniors, about. If there’s pressure to sign something that sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Most of all don’t sign anything you don’t understand. You are protected by law in most matters but the onus remains on the buyer to be aware. Evans Nicholson

Cities oppose plans for municipal auditor Jeff NAGEL Black Press
B.C. mayors and councillors overwhelmingly voted Thursday to object to provincial plans to a create a municipal auditor-general. Many delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention said the planned watchdog on waste would itself be a waste of money. But after several suggestions to restrict the scope of the auditor’s work, delegates approved a motion to continue working with the provincial government on the project. Civic leaders are riled by the goverment’s vow to bring in the auditor to help police spending by municipalities and regional districts. Most were not appeased by provincial promises the auditor’s recommendations will be non-binding, that the office won’t meddle with civic policy and that the costs would be borne by Victoria. “One thing I’ve learned in politics is don’t trust,� said Cowichan Valley delegate Lorne Duncan. “This whole thing is driven by an agenda of the business community to have someone on the inside to bedevil the local governments on their taxation policies.� Cities will end up shouldering the cost of their own extra staff time involved, predicted Port Alberni Coun. Jack McLeman said. “We do not want
another bureaucracy formed and that’s exactly what this is,� said Cariboo Regional District director Roberta Faust. “Believe me, it will be coming out of all our taxpayers’ pockets.� Al Siebring, a North Cowichan delegate, said UBCM needs to work with the province on the roll-out of the auditor or else cities will have no influence on what happens.
A handful of delegates spoke in support of the municipal auditor concept, saying cities should have nothing to fear from a new tool for taxpayer transparency. The resolution adopted Thursday calls the office unnecessary but endorses the UBCM executive’s policy paper on how to try to shape the outcome. A municipal auditor was promised
by Premier Christy Clark in her leadership campaign. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong says the auditor will not duplicate audits of municipal books that are already required, but will compare performance of local governments to determine best practices on major projects funded by senior governments.

Run raises almost $60,000
The fourth annual Co-operators Dare to Care Fun Run/ Walk raised $57,700 on Sept. 17 for Cares Counselling and Restoration Services in Abbotsford. About 140 participants and 80 volunteers braved the rain at Rotary Stadium in support of the not-forprofit agency which provides subsidized counselling for people of all ages in the Fraser Valley. The bulk of the funds raised came
from the Dollar for Dollar Challenge in which a group of business people in the community agreed to match the pledges that are collected by the end of September. The pledges are expected to reach $27,000, bringing the total to $54,000 with the matched funds. The additional $3,700 was collected from registration fees for the 5 km fun run and 10 km challenge. Cares had set a goal of $80,000 and is still
hoping that enough donations will come in to reach that tally by mid-October. Anyone wishing to make a donation can
do so online at cares. ca or by calling 604853-0879. The Cares office is located at #103 - 2790 Gladwin Rd.

A dozen sparkling crowns fill the space between the awards – many encrusted with coloured jewels. And then there are the sashes. Pink, green and blue, they are embroidered with words like Princess, Congeniality and Prettiest Smile. At only 15 months old, Elle is beauty pageant royalty.

extreme behaviour,” she says of the program, which airs on TLC and follows the world of child beauty pageants in the U.S. “There’s a lot of negative reactions to pageants ... If a five-year-old does a dance competition and wears makeup and a costume, it’s OK. But when a girl goes for a pageant with hair, makeup and costume, it’s not OK?” Having taken part in dance and live theatre since childhood, Keyes believes it’s the way parents deal with competitive situations that shapes their children’s behaviour. “You can walk away from every sport feeling down,” she says. “But if you say, ‘No matter what, honey, you’re a star,’ then your kid will feel like a star.” Before stepping into pageantry, Keyes watched numerous videos on YouTube and researched what was appropriate for a twomonth-old to wear. The events were something the motherdaughter team could do together, which attracted her. After entering Elle into her first contest, and receiving first place, Keyes was “hooked.” While Keyes admits Elle didn’t really know what was going on at Continued on A15

the time, she does now. The bubbly blonde has since competed in more than 15 pageants and been awarded over 12 major titles. Some of those include the Toddler Miss Queen title in the West Coast All Canadian Girl Pageant, the Supreme Queen in a local pageant called Dreamboat Dolls, and most recently, the Grand Supreme title at the Little Miss Gumdrop pageant in Surrey. When they started, Keyes opted to enter only natural pageants, which don’t require the girls to wear wigs, makeup, a tan, false teeth or over-the-top costumes covered in rhinestones. Glitz pageants suggest those enhancers for extra points. In addition, they call for over-the-top costumes, which range in price from $400 to $2,400. Recently, Keyes entered Elle into a semi-glitz pageant, where the extras are optional. Without the makeup,
Cautions to consider Abbotsford psychologist Susan Goldsmith of Dr. Goldsmith and Associates, who has worked with children of all ages, including those who have competed in pageants, cautions that such events can push kids to strive for perfection as they learn to value external validation rather than internal. “It doesn’t take long for them to realize that if they wear that dress or hair or makeup a certain way ... they’re being approved of or disapproved of. ” Goldsmith also believes it rushes childhood. “Instead of being carefree and not worrying about appearance, they’re all of a sudden becoming hyper-aware of things like makeup and hairstyles and dress.” Down the road, as events become more competitive, with bigger prizes, it can also lead to issues like eating disorders, anxiety and depression, said Goldsmith, because the girls feel they’re “not measuring up ...”

tan or fake hair, Elle still placed first, wearing a fuchsia pink dress with a tulle skirt, encrusted with rhinestones. Next month, Elle will enter her first glitz pageant, but won’t be donning the extras. Keyes believes Elle will be successful by simply showing her positive attitude on stage. “She’s always smiling, happy, waving to the crowd and dancing around the stage,” says Keyes. Elle’s scores are often extremely high, garnering 19 or 19-and-
a-half out of 20. Judges say things like “very cute baby,” and “adorable to watch,” or “outfits are well put together,” adds Keyes. Until entrants are three, there’s no talent portion. Instead, the girls walk, or are carried, from one point of the stage to another, and are judged on performance, personality and costume. In the long run, Keyes believes the pageant world will benefit Elle. The older girls that compete look happy, are well-spoken, kind
and confident, says Keyes. While she weighs in on the positives, she also acknowledges the popular criticisms – such as forcing kids to grow up too quickly. “I worry every day – there’s so many aspects that make kids grow up too fast,” she says. “MTV, high school, middle school. Will it be the pageant that makes my daughter want to look like Miley Cyrus or some other pop star? Am I worried that (pageantry is) going to be the thing that does it? No.” However, if the day comes when Elle no longer enjoys the competitions, she will pull her out and provide her with opportunities to explore other activities – from martial arts to soccer. For the time being, she can see her daughter enjoys performing, by the way she “lights up” once they enter the theatre. That’s what the pageants promote, says Keyes, “what’s inside.” “Their performance is from there ... from their hearts. Their passion will shine through, no matter how beautiful they are on the outside.”

Save-On-Foods is celebrating the opening of its newest Abbotsford store, on Whatcom Road, by giving local charities and non-profit organizations the chance to win up to $10,000. The Save-On-Foods Charity Challenge invited groups to apply and more than 40 groups did, making it tough for the judges to narrow it down to 10 semi-finalists. The finalists are Matthew’s House, The Abbotsford Hospice Society, Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley, BC Cancer Foundation, KidSport, Abbotsford Youth Commission, Salvation Army, Abbotsford Community Services and Canuck Place – Abbotsford. These 10 worthy groups will now take part in a “Price is Right” style game. On Oct. 22, at the new Whatcom Save-On-Foods, the finalists will be asked to examine a truckload of food products and guess the value of the merchandise. The five closest bids, without going over, will move on to the next round. As part of the celebration, five members of the public will also have a chance to win by predicting the cost of a shopping cart full of food. The person closest to the amount, without going over, wins the food. The contestants will consist of two random shoppers (in the store between 11 a.m. and noon) and three people chosen from the Abbotsford News Facebook site (facebook. com/myabbynews). There will also be a fundraiser taking place at the store featuring a barbecue and other family-friendly activities. Once the five charity finalists have been established, they will be invited to an Abbotsford Heat home game (tentative date is Dec. 18) for the contest grand finale. Each charity will be paired up with an Abbotsford Minor Hockey player. The five players will have the chance to shoot at the Save-On-Foods contest board. The player who comes closest to the board’s opening, wins $5,000 for the charity. If a player puts the puck in the opening, the charity wins $10,000.

Fashion design goes 3-D

UFV is first school in western Canada to offer new technology Ashley WRAY Abbotsford News
The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is leading its students down an advanced path – on and off the runway. With a program called OptiTex, students will soon be able to create their collections with a new 3-D feature. The technology will provide a sustainable approach to fashion design, while saving time and money as it prepares students for employment. While UFV has been using OptiTex’s 2-D format in computer-aided design for years, it’s the first school in western Canada to adopt the 3-D version. When it becomes available to students next summer, the program will allow them to convert their 2-D patterns to 3-D by dressing a virtual mannequin. With a few clicks and some precise measurements, students will be able to see right away if their design is correct. The process eliminates a number of steps, such as printing the pattern, cutting it and fitting a live model. It also saves money and fabric, added Deanna Devitt, the fashion design department head at UFV. In the fashion world, the program proves beneficial when working with clients overseas, said Bev Fanzega, a faculty member in the fashion design program. By cutting out the middle steps, which can take weeks, it also permits designers to create their collections closer to the season, allowing for last-minute additions depending on the latest trends. The program not only offers a 3-D still mannequin, but also a moving model that struts along a runway to showcase outfits. The virtual fashion show offers a realistic simulation of the outfit’s movement and fit, as the program takes into
account the material’s characteristics. “It’s real fabric in a virtual world,� said Fanzega. The versatility of the program makes it a great marketing tool as it allows a collection or design to be showcased to a client immediately. By arming students with this the latest fashion technology, UFV is ensuring its students are job-ready and employable, said Devitt.

Underground or out of town With a lack of performing space, bands are being forced to take the local music scene to basement suites, or land gigs in other cities

A performance at a punk house on George Ferguson Way, circa 2005. It’s no longer operational.
erforming in rented out homes, called punk houses, or in basements, has always been popular on the local music scene. But, with a lack of Abbotsford venues for young bands to build a name for themselves, it’s one of the few viable options. Otherwise, groups are being forced to book gigs in neighbouring cities to perform – something that’s difficult to do without a fan base. As a veteran on the local music scene, 30-year-old Stephen O’Shea recognizes a need for change. He started with a

Voices are just two events that showcase local talent, but only in the summer. O’Shea has a very simple, yet specific goal he’d like to see happen in Abbotsford: a permanent all-ages venue that is open year round. He wants to see bands given the opportunity to perform in a legitimate way, instead of being forced into basement suites. “It’s what this city needs – to have a space accessed by youth to have a creative outlet, to present their music in an inclusive environment, free from prejudice and hate; a place for people to feel included.” Charging people $5 to see three bands would be his “dream” for Abbotsford, added O’Shea. “It would help sustain a musical community and create more bands similar to YSP, who can become accomplished and help them develop themselves... I think it’s time for Abbotsford to stand up and say we have a culture of our own.” O’Shea’s sentiments were recently echoed by local performer Dylan Redknapp, who wrote a blog post entitled The Fraser Valley and Its Inexcusable Inability to Rock. Redknapp believes the lack of a permanent venue is the “biggest problem” on Abbotsford’s music scene. Not only is there nowhere for local bands to play, but without a venue, there’s no incentive for touring bands to stop and put on a show in the city. His post garnered numerous responses from local and outof-town bands, supporting Redknapp’s opinions, many adding they would gladly stop in Abbotsford to perform if the right venue existed.

Colourful winter pansies
The
It’s now about time to enhance our fall, winter and spring gardens with some lovable, colourful, perfumed winter pansies, but there is more to it than just popping them in the ground. Done well, they can create magic in our fall gardens and again in late winter and spring when we really need that colour lift. The natural colours in winter landscapes are basically bleak: grey skies; faded grasses and bare trees; and slate-coloured streets. What we need during these dull months is brightness. Multicoloured pansies are attractive, but they won’t have the same impact in a winter landscape as single coloured pansies that not only stand out by themselves, but are also further enhanced by being paired with pansies of complementary colours, such as the new planned colour combinations
like ‘Citrus Mix’, ‘Ocean Breeze’ and ‘Raspberry Sundae’. Yellows and blues are often used together very effectively, but what about soft yellows with attractive

matic result in your garden. Now, where to put them? It’s important to understand that unless you mass plant pansies they are never going to provide the high impact of marigolds or petunias. They will be far more effective when strategically located in high visibility locations, such as along your driveway and sidewalks and around focal trees in your landscape. If you have some large flower beds you’d like to liven up, use pansies along with other winter plants. Flowering kale and cabbage are sensational winter focal points, especially the new ‘Winter Bor’, ‘Red Bor’ and the silver ‘laciniata’. Plant kale in attractive patterns, using blocks of three to five plants. Between your groupings of kale, add blocks of solid, brightly coloured pansies. Try orange pansies around purple kale or deep blue pansies around white kale. These combinations are really eyecatching! The ‘Proven Winner’ folks have come up with a wonderful series of hardy evergreen plants that complement pansies very nicely. Dwarf evergreen grasses make fabulous focal points in planting beds or containers. For example, Carex ‘Evergold’ has white and yellow variegated foliage that is quite striking all winter long. Acorus ‘Ogon’ is a more upright gold and green that acts like a spark plug for winter combinations. These grasses are also perfect companions to small bulbs like blue crocus and dwarf Iris reticulata. The new evergreen ajugas, like the deep purple ‘Mahogany’ the pink/cream ‘Burgundy Glow’ and ‘Black Scallop’, make fine ground covers or edging plants and are great complements to pansies. I really love hardy evergreen euphorbias, like ‘Blackbird’, ‘Rosy Glow’ and ‘Ascot Rainbow’, that turn rich deep colours in winter and produce fabulous chartreuse flowers in spring.

DAN KINVIG
Abbotsford News
Heat players participated in a scrimmage on Wednesday during training camp at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre.
Competition heats up Players battling for jobs, minutes at Abbotsford training camp Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
The sheer number of bodies at Abbotsford Heat training camp is a sure sign there’s little room for complacency. As of Thursday, there were 39 players in camp – enough to fill both the home and visitors locker rooms at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. Defenceman John Negrin, who has been around for Heat training camp each of the past three seasons, says the competi-
tive atmosphere has gone to another level this time around. “Going to camp in Calgary, hearing from the management, you knew there were some changes going on,” he said. “They told us from the start, if you’re not playing well, someone’s going to be taking your spot. “All the guys here are really skilled, competitive players, and it makes for a tough camp.” The plethora of players in Heat camp is a product of a desire to build greater or-
ganizational depth through their ECHL affiliate, the Utah Grizzlies. The Heat have been hard-hit by injuries the past two seasons, and have had to scramble at times to find ECHL call-ups to fill in. “We just didn’t have the depth a year ago,” Heat head coach Troy Ward noted. “We’re going to probably afford them (the Grizzlies) more players this year. “That’s not to the liking of the men in the room, though. That’s not what they want to
hear. Last year, we were saddled here with sometimes 26 or 27 players with all the injuries. This year we’re going to saddle up with 23 or 24. That’s all that will be around on a full-time basis, because I think too many people just breeds complacency.” Ward said that if the Heat keep 24 players, the breakdown would be 14 forwards, eight defencemen and two goalies. Of the 39 players in Heat camp, 25 are on two-way (NHL/ AHL) or AHL contracts. The
rest are either under contract with Utah, or in camp on a tryout basis. With the NHL parent Calgary Flames currently carrying 31 players, more will be sent to Abbotsford in the coming week, which is sure to ramp up the intensity even further. “There’s two battles going on,” Ward analyzed. “There’s a battle going on throughout the team right now to stay here, and then there’s going to be a battle for maximum ice Continued on A28

Marion Margaret
Dennis Ronald October 23, 1943 ~ September 18, 2011
Age 89, died Tuesday, September 27, 2011 in Abbotsford, BC. Marion was born February 25, 1922, in Sperling, Manitoba, to John and Mary McKillop Cowan; older siblings were Jim, Hugh and George Cowan. In 1936 she came to know Christ as her Savior. After nursing school in Winnipeg and Bible school in London, Ontario, she joined Wycliffe Bible Translators and went to Mexico in 1949. She spent the next 43 years involved in translating the New Testament into 4 minority Mayan languages. Marion also served on the Board of Directors of Wycliffe Canada. She retired in Abbotsford, BC in 2004. Marion’s most lasting accomplishment was as a translator of the Word of God. One young Tzotzil man said, after obtaining his own copy of the New Testament, “Now we know that God loves us because He speaks our language.” A Memorial Service will be held Friday, Oct. 7, at 2 p.m. at the Menno Hospital Chapel, Abbotsford, BC.

Why did my child
die before me? . . . sometimes life is unfair
Angelo Rea B.Th., M.T.S.
Area Manager DIGNITY FUNERAL HOMES
The month of October was long. I did spend time with my two sisters. I drove Anna to the Juravinski cancer center in Hamilton, Ontario for chemo therapy. Pat was staying with her daughter while she was going through her chemo in Hamilton. It was an interesting dynamic watching my two beautiful sisters go through this awful procedure. I knew for some reason Anna would be a survivor. I have a new appreciation for her and for life in itself. Pat, I knew was terminal and was going to die. My father was not himself. He was worried and did not want to experience the death of his daughters. He had a hard time moving from denial to acceptance. Acceptance begins the process of healing where denial encourages further pain.

Mary Stobbe (nee Dueck) It is with great sadness, yet great rejoicing, that we announce the passing of Mary Stobbe on September 27, 2011 at 91 years of age. Mary had her wish granted that she would die in her sleep and go to meet her Lord Jesus. She was born on May 16, 1920 in Sagradowka, Russia to Peter and Helena Dueck, the youngest of 8 children. She leaves to mourn her loving husband, Jake, of 65 years; children Bob (Lynda), Jim (Carol), Ed (Rita) Irene (Vic) Abrahams, Shirley (Lorne) Redekop, and Al (Kora Lee); 14 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren (plus 1 on the way); and many nieces, nephews and friends. We would like to express our thanks to all those who helped care for Mom during her last days. We are thankful that it was a short illness and that she did not suffer much. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, October 5 from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Rd, Abbotsford. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, October 6 at 3:00 p.m. at Bakerview MB Church, 2285 Clearbrook Rd, Abbotsford.

MACLEOD Isabella Watson
As a funeral director, I know people have a hard time handling the loss of their child. Denial likes us to think that everything that we are experiencing is a dream. After all, our hope may be physical and not spiritual. What we believe in will shape our life and thinking. With my background, I knew that this was going to be a tough experience for my father and my family. Pat was a mother, sister, and aunt. The loss of a Pat was going to be a shocker. She came from her father’s homeland and was one of the three siblings that came with my father to break new ground in Canada. I could see the pain my father was experiencing. He did not want to accept the fact that his daughter whom he had special bond with was dying.

MITCHELL Lorraine (nee McDonald) Sept.16 1947-Sept.07 2011
Our dear mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and aunt, Margaret Baerg Toews was born to Peter and Eva Schartner Baerg, November 9, 1917 at Acme, AB. She suffered a stroke 5 weeks ago from which she did not recover. She peacefully left us September 22, 2011, at the age of 93, with family by her bedside. Mother grew up at Linden, AB, with her 4 brothers and 3 sisters. At the age of 20, she realized her lost condition, repented of her sins, received peace with God and was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite at Linden, AB, December 28, 1937. She was faithful to God and His church till her end. On March 27, 1938 she married our dad, William Toews, experiencing the joys and sorrows of married life for nearly 50 years. After dad was taken from her side November 28, 1987, she continued to live on the home place till she moved to Sunset Court in March 1994. On June 15, 2011 she moved into Valhaven where she continued to enjoy visits from her family and friends until her passing. We want to give Rhonda special thanks for the care she gave Mom in the months before Mom moved to Valhaven. We thank the staff of Valhaven for the excellent care given to our mother during her short stay. Mom was a “keeper of the home,” a mother and friend to the 10 children she bore and the 4 that later became part of the family. After Dad’s passing, Mom continued to draw the family together at special gatherings, Christmas, Easter, reunions, and just everyday visits. These gifts were enjoyed by us and many others outside her family. Mom imparted spiritual values to us, not with many words, but by being a living example to us with her steadfast faith in God. As the years took their toll, she was often found sitting in her chair with the Bible open. She appreciated ending our evening visits with a time of devotion. We have many loving memories of her and want to join her in heaven praising our Lord around His throne. She will be missed by her family: Phyllis & Stan Fast, Dennis & Tena Toews, Audrey & Ron Isaac, Bev & Phyllis Toews, Kelly & Darlene Toews, Donna & Richard Klassen, Maryann & Ron Klassen, Walden & Linda Toews, Adeline & Rodney Esau, Sue & Daryl Toews, Rhonda Gamberg, Debbie Gorski, Michelle & Ken Gillingham, brothers & sisters: Paul & Olive Baerg, Agnes Toews, Arnold & Anne Baerg, Lydda & Walter Regehr, Dave & Dorothy Duerksen, sistersin-law: Anna Baerg, Kaye Wilson, Vera Toews, brotherin-law: Walter de Veer, 56 grandchildren & 108 greatgrandchildren. Her funeral service was held on Sept 26, 2011 at The Church of God In Christ Mennonite Church, Abbotsford with interment at Maclure Road Mennonite Cemetery. Woodlawn Funeral Home 604-853-2643

Annie Bilodeau Nov. 7, 1991 - May 19, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our loved one, Annie (Mummies Special Little Girl). As hard as its been since she passed away we know how lucky and fortunate we have been to have had Annie in our lives. It is ironic how we spent so much time teaching her so many tricks over the years when in reality we should not have been teaching her but learning from her. Annie was full of life, always happy, full of love, never judging, loyal, had no ulterior motives; what you saw was real and what you got. She did not have a mean bone in her whole body and loved all she met. Above all she was a true best friend who was always there for us. Annie loved nothing more than snuggling with any of our family. She also loved to hunt grasshoppers and eat mummies homemade treats. Sadly Annie was predeceased by her best friend and birth mother Susie whom she will now again get to snuggle and play with. She will truly be missed but never, ever forgotten by all who knew her. We would like to thank Dr. Hofs and his two assistants Deb and Tanis for the many years of excellent care and support they have always provided to our entire family. Love Heidi (Mummy), Mike (Daddy), Grandma’s Wilma, Gerda, Elena, Grandpa Ben and Uncle Chris. In lieu of flowers or donations we ask for what Annie would have wanted and that is for you to give all of your loved ones (pets or people) big hugs, kisses and of course lots of treats. Thank you Annie for everything you have done for all of us and for the important things you have taught us, we truly respect and appreciate you and will always remember you.
