Sumas Mountain Road - Temporary Road Closure During a rainstorm event in June 2010, the Kilgard Creek culvert on Sumas Mountain Road, near Lower Sumas Mountain Road, collapsed. Single lane alternating traf¿c was implemented as an interim measure until the culvert could be replaced. The culvert design is now complete and the replacement is scheduled for May 2011. To facilitate the culvert replacement and to address safety concerns during construction, a full road closure will be implemented May 2, 2011 to May 27, 2011. Road detour signs will be posted to direct traf¿c to the newly opened Whatcom Road connector. Enquiries may be directed to Jan Loots, P.Eng., Manager of Projects, Engineering Department, telephone 604-864-5514. Thank you for your cooperation.

Reminder to Dog Owners The City of Abbotsford’s Dog Licence Bylaw requires all dogs over the age of four months, to be licensed. Licensing your dog shows that you are a responsible pet owner and greatly increases the chance of having your pet returned to you, should it get loose. Licence fees support the return of lost dogs to their homes and helps provide new homes for others. They also help offset the cost of providing animal control services such as dealing with dangerous dogs, resolving barking dog complaints and enforcing leash laws. Please ensure that your dog’s licence is up to date and that it wears its tag at all times. To purchase a dog licence, come to City Hall, 32315 South Fraser Way - Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, except statutory holidays. City representatives will soon be visiting Abbotsford neighborhoods, checking for unlicensed dogs. If you have any questions regarding animal control, please contact us at 604-856-7505.

Trash to cash

Notice of Annual General Meeting The Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the Abbotsford West BC Liberal Riding Association will be held on:

Friday, May 27th 2011

Food waste will be turned into marketable compost Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

Registration: 5:45 to 6:00 pm Meeting begins at 6:00 pm Matsqui Recreation Center Aerobics Room (3106 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford, BC) The purpose of the AGM is to elect the Riding Association Executive. The right to attend & vote at this meeting is determined under the Constitution.

It’s time for Abbotsford residents to take a closer look at their garbage. Food scraps, grass clippings and other compostable waste are at the centre of a new initiative being proposed to Abbotsford council. A city-wide curbside compostable collection program is being examined and could start by early 2012. According to a staff report, more than half the garbage thrown out by Abbotsford residents consists of compostable waste. It’s trash that may no longer be welcome. Earlier this year, Metro Vancouver announced that food waste and compostables will be banned from garbage collection. And while the final details aren’t set, staff are assuming those rules will apply to the Matsqui transfer station. However, there are other motivations to change. According to Tracy Kyle, the city’s director of water and solid waste, the new program is both environmentally friendly and costeffective. Food waste and composta-

In the near future, residents will not be allowed to mix compostable items with other garbage. bles have a lower tipping fee than regular garbage, by as much as $20-$25 per tonne, and can be turned into a usable by-product. “It will be marketed in some fashion,” said Kyle, although specifics are not yet available. Presently, Abbotsford’s col-

lected yard waste goes to The Answer Garden Products on Huntingdon Road and is eventually sold as topsoil. Several communities send compostables to Fraser Richmond Biocycle, Vancouver’s largest supplier of topsoil and compost, which sells its product to

garden shops and other municipalities. “Most people don’t realize where their topsoil comes from,” said Kyle. Homeowners will be given kitchen containers to collect compostables, while the existing yard waste containers can be used for curbside collection. Staff examined several options for the collection process and are recommending the city collect all three streams of waste (recycling, compostable and garbage) from the west half of the city, while a private contractor be hired to collect from the east side. Recycling and compostables will be collected weekly, while garbage will be picked up once every two weeks. The annual cost of such a system is estimated at $4.4 million. Currently, the city pays about $4.5 million per year for garbage pick-up. “It was the least expensive of all the options we examined,” said Kyle. Kyle said proposals have been requested for a processing facility – either a local transfer station or composting site.

Do you see the HST as a federal issue? About 18,000 people in Abbotsford voted against it. It hurts seniors, young families, students – it makes things more expensive; everything from a cup of coffee to a haircut to parking. Hopefully we can correct that, and make things a bit better. There is anger at the prime minister over the tax. He doesn’t realize how angry people are about this Harper Sales Tax.

Intented to end disturbance From A4

The two forced her to the ground, where she was cuffed. The two officers testified that Disbrow was yelling and screaming. It was then that Lemna, who had been dealing with Disbrow’s son, walked up to her, made contact with her face, and told her to be quiet, the two said. Disbrow then calmed down. Hansen, who had been an officer for about 18 months at the time of the incident, said she told two other officers on the scene about

what she had witnessed. She said she was then approached at headquarters about the circumstances shortly before ending her shift. Lemna testified Thursday that he tapped Disbrow on the chin twice with his foot, but the contact was minimal. He denied touching her mouth or her teeth, and said his intention was to end her screaming and the disturbance to the neighbourhood. An internal investigation led to Lemna being charged with assault in February 2010.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Water billing

Are you following national media coverage of the federal election campaign?

The City of Abbotsford has passed a tiered system, where when you use more water (i.e. large family) then you pay more for the same drop of water. Now large families who are already paying much more will be paying even that much more. The large families who are probably already subsidizing you will be hugely subsidizing you and may not be able to afford any more. Rick Baker

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Will the Vancouver Canucks win the Stanley Cup?

Everyone should pay the same per cubic metre of water. There should never be a difference. Why don’t people also get mad at the idea of certain business getting a cut rate – even farms get a cut rate. 5440 Multi-generational families are already saving thousands each year on property tax, electricity, and natural gas. If they have to pay a bit more for water, I am certainly not going to lose any sleep over it. onewheeldoin200

Digitized dating in the teen cyberworld Andrew

Holota

On Point Ultimately, it has to happen, even in the world of “undating.” The Split. The Break-up. The Dumper and the Dumpee. It’s the mother lode of gossip fodder in the Facebooking, Tweeting, texting world of young teens. Good fun for the spectators. Deep and heartfelt drama for the cast. And another bemusing and bewildering episode for the theatre management (parents). Let me explain the concept, from the perspective of an observer rather than a participant, although I have some reliable insight in regard to the latter. If you are a parent of a youth, you will most likely be familiar with the dating rituals of early adolescence – early being the operative word. Courtesy of television and media marketing and music videos and social

networking, and whatever else our society throws at our eagerly accepting new generation, our newly minted teens are attempting to emulate what passes for adult relationships – sans the adult part. Kids who have yet to understand what hormones are, are trying some on for size in the digital world. It’s all very clumsy, and rather confusing, since rarely are any of these “real” romantic relationships (perish the thought). How does one “date” if one can’t meet the basic requirements of the ritual, i.e. actually go on dates – let alone without parental supervision or presence. Hence the term “undating.” They can’t drive. They have homework. They have family, and friends, and sports commitments – and on the weekends, often all of the above. So, that pretty much leaves school, and/or the social media option. More on that later. Hanging out together at school – what does that entail? Most wellmanaged school environments have a no-PDA policy (Public Displays of

Affection). No kissing, pawing, clutching, groping, etc. (Note to the principals and teachers who strictly enforce this policy: Thank you. Oh, thank you). So, little to no actual physical contact leaves just the labelling: “She’s mine. He’s with me.” Ownership status at 13. What a concept ...

Where the pseudo-relationship flourishes is in the online pseudo-world. Where the pseudo-relationship ﬂourishes is in the online pseudo-world. For boys in particular, it’s great. You can text all sorts of things that sound cool, and you don’t actually have to be in the presence of “her” to say it. Facebooking is a whole lot easier than face-to-facing.

After the “dating” (lasting a few weeks or few months) comes the unhitching of the hardly hitched. And what do they have to pattern their break-up after, other than the scripts they’ve been given – the same ones that compelled them to sample this strange game in the ﬁrst place. There are tears, awkward explanations, excuses, regard and regrets, silence, or in some cases, reconciliation, and then the cycle repeats. And throughout the process, there is a legion of social network “friends” who leap to become involved via endless hours of texted tidbits, speculation, inexperienced advice, and ever-sosincere support, all there for everyone to see. It’s online, real-time soap opera. Even if I could peel away 40 years, I wouldn’t want to do it. It’s confusing enough for two very young people to try to replicate in their lives some form of adult relationship, let alone have it digitally displayed for others to experience vicariously. For those who live their lives in cyber-space, that last word might be one to Google.

letters Disability may not be visible I wanted to write a letter in regards to an incident my husband had this week. We have a son with muscular dystrophy. He is six years old. He has a disability parking pass that goes in whatever vehicle he is going to be getting in and out of. As of right now he is still in the ambulatory stage but can only walk so far before he is tired, so to the average person that does not know or understand, he looks perfectly fine. So, I just wanted to say thank you to the old man that screamed at my husband for

parking in the disabled spot, in front of my son when you have no idea of the situation and for calling my husband a liar. My son did not need to see that, and we do not need the added stress. I am hoping this letter will make people realize that people need to learn not to judge people/situations based on face value. Next time you are about to jump in and scream at someone who has a disabled parking pass in the car when the physical impairments may not be visible, maybe you will think first before you speak. A.

What stupid spending priorities? Re: Disappoint Harper, and vote letter by Keith Hebert, The News April 19. Keith Hebert suggests that the federal Conservative government has “stupid spending priorities.” I’d like to ask Mr. Hebert if he could be more specific: What is so stupid about the Conservative priorities? Would it be in the area of job creation? Or could the stupid spending priorities be in the area of family support, or eliminating the deficit? Or just maybe Mr. Hebert thinks it is stupid to make

our streets safer by taking a tougher stance on crime, by passing stronger laws? Or could it be that Mr. Hebert doesn’t like the idea of having the infrastructure of the prison systems modernized, or even the building of additional prisons? Maybe it’s the idea that the federal Conservative party wants to give more rights to the victims of crime rather than to the convicted offenders. Does Mr. Hebert also think it is stupid to invest in new fighter aircraft to replace

the older, and obsolete CF-18 fighter jets? Could it be that Mr. Hebert doesn’t like the idea of a stronger, better equipped Canadian military, so that when soldiers, seamen and airmen who are put into harm’s way, won’t be able to do their job? For your information, Mr. Hebert, the military has one purpose and one purpose only – to kill the enemy. We need a stronger military and safer streets. There is nothing stupid about the federal Conservative government’s priorities. Lee Hanlon

Calculated cliff jumping In light of the recent tragedy at Cultus Lake, there is some important information that cliff jumping enthusiasts should bear in mind when engaging in this sport. My son has been cliff jumping for a number of years. When I spoke to him about the sad loss of David Cleverley, he pointed out that jumping has rules; it is taking a calculated risk that should be calculated on the side of life, not death. There are several areas at various heights starting as low as 10 feet above the water. Some of these areas do not require a person to jump very far, while others require a serious exertion to run and leap out far enough to clear rocks below. It is not calculating on the side of life to have to clear rocks, or as my son put it, that is just plain stupid. The first rule is to always check the water below the cliff to determine the depth, the shoreline and what effort it will require to make it into water deep enough to support the jump. At this time of year the water

is very cold which may affect the physical reaction to the water. Currents are starting to speed up, and in some areas undertows are increasing in strength. Secondly, begin jumping at lower levels to get used to the sport. You need to develop a sense of how to gauge the terrain as well as how to fall from lower heights. It is already painful to fall incorrectly at 10 feet, but not necessarily life-threatening. Try jumping off a high dive in a swimming pool in controlled conditions before you take to the rough water where there are no trained professionals to assist you if you have problems. Rule number three: Always wear shoes and do not point your toes. Keep your feet flat and enter the water in a straight plunge. If you point your toes, it will cause the body to angle backwards as you enter the water, hitting your back and knocking the air out of your lungs. People can be knocked unconscious and may not surface due to the lack of air

in their lungs. Which brings us to rule number four; the buddy system. Always jump with people who know the area. They should have strong enough swimming skills to be able to pull you out of the water if you get into trouble. Having a “spotter” on the ground would also make sense for people who are trying new heights. Local pools offer swimming and water safety lessons, including applying first aid. It is important to have some basic knowledge in artificial respiration, as well as how to move people in case they have broken limbs. Impacting water from a great height can be fun, but it can also be the same as hitting pavement if you enter the wrong way. Remember, you are important. Look after yourself because we love you; no one can replace you in our lives. Get the training you need now to have a safe, fun summer. Aeriol Alderking

There won’t be a traffic light at the intersection of Whatcom Road and Mountain Drive – at least not yet. After a 45-minute debate Monday afternoon, council decided to take a wait-and-see approach on a request by residents for the new signal. Instead, an amber flashing light will be installed on a sign, warning drivers coming down the hill on Whatcom that the intersection is approaching. No other safety upgrades will be done until the new shopping centre on Whatcom is completed in the fall of 2011. That will allow city staff to see how the complex will affect traffic. The decision to wait was not a unanimous one.

Coun. Lynne Harris urged council to install a light, despite a staff report saying it wasn’t needed. “I am not an expert ... in my mind, signalization is required there,” said Harris. Her motion received support from Couns. Patricia Ross, John Smith and Dave Loewen, however, the remaining five members voted to wait. “We either respect the professional recommendation of our staff, or we ignore them,” said Coun. Simon Gibson. He said the report indicated a light, which would cost about $180,000 to install, could create rearend collisions at the intersection. “That’s a lot of money if we are going to increase the likelihood of accidents,” said Gibson.

last year,” Lapointe said. “I think people are pretty realistic.” Last year included the huge run of sockeye that return to the Fraser’s Adams River tributary northeast of Kamloops once every four years. Some scientists think the already big run was further intensified because ash from an Alaskan volcano may have fallen at just the right time to fertilize ocean water and increase the food supply for juvenile sockeye from the Fraser. Lapointe doubts the volcano theory, instead believing the wide variations possible in salmon returns can account for the difference. Over the long term, about five adult Fraser sockeye tend to return for every one that spawned four years earlier. This year’s return was spawned by roughly 900,000 adults four years ago. But that’s a far cry from the 4.5 million in 2006 that produced 2010’s huge run. Even so, the forecast models indicate this year’s run could vary anywhere from 1-15 million fish, with the median of around four million most probable.

A billion pink fry in Fraser From A14

Adams-bolstered run spawned in 2010 returns in 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next three years in particular are coming off low runs,â&#x20AC;? Lapointe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;2007, 2008 and 2009 were very low returns with fairly low numbers of spawners.â&#x20AC;? Those dismal runs prompted the federal government to appoint the Cohen Commission now probing the decline of Fraser River sockeye. While the official count of sockeye last year remains 34.5 million, Lapointe confirms that is still expected to be revised down to around 30 million. It will still stand as the biggest in almost a century, since an estimated 39 million returned in 1913, before the Hellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gate rock slide disrupted salmon for decades. One silver lining for 2011 is that fishery managers expect a very large number of pink salmon, which come back every two years. More than a billion pink fry came out of the Fraser and about 17.5 million of them are expected to return late this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by far the largest out-migration weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen,â&#x20AC;? Lapointe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential for a much larger pink salmon migration.â&#x20AC;? Pinks arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as lucrative or desired as sockeye, but Lapointe expects they will be heavily fished anyway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the pinks that are going to provide the bulk of the harvest for folks this year.â&#x20AC;?

How much can I afford?

A18 Abbotsford News Saturday, April 23, 2011 Sick and Tired of Losing Money in Mutual Funds and the Stock Market? Think Getting 1 to 1½ % on Your Savings and GIC’s is a Bad Joke? Then Come to This FREE Event April 26 and ....

“Discover The #1 Investment SECRET the Big Canadian Banks and Mutual Fund Co.’s PRAY You Never Find Out...” (And That Your Accountant and Financial Planner Cannot Tell You)! Darren Weeks, Canadian “Multi-Millionaire” (from Edmonton), is revealing the proven investment strategies he learned personally from Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), and has perfected for our unique Canadian situation. Darren is offering an absolutely FREE event in Abbotsford on Tuesday, April 26 to show how you too can become financially independent and be able to do whatever you want...in 5 years or less! (No matter what is happening in the economy). He’s also giving away an Amazing FREE gift to every attendee who brings a guest. His NEW audio CD “The 7 Keys to Creating What your banker hopes you never learn. Wealth in Canada” – a $39.95 value – FREE of charge just for bringing a friend (your guest gets one too)! Dear Financially Frustrated Fellow Canadian: The banks and mutual fund companies want to keep you in the dark. I know that those are strong words, and I wouldn’t be so bold in saying them if I couldn’t back it up. The truth of the matter is that I’m really ANGRY and I will NOT keep quiet any longer. My name is Darren Weeks and I want to show you a whole NEW world when it comes to getting ahead financially in Canada. This is the truth about investing that many in the ‘establishment’ really don’t want you to know. Forget what you learned (or didn’t learn) about money and investing in school or from your parents. What worked for their generation no longer works in today’s economy. And take everything you have heard about creating wealth from your banker and financial planner and flush it right down the toilet, because that is where it belongs. The next time your banker or mutual fund sales person (oh, sorry, I meant ‘financial planner’) suggests investing in some ‘wonderful’ mutual fund or stock – ask to see their audited financial statement. Chances are, they have a lot less money than you think (and quite probably a lot less than you have). Why continue to take financial advice from broke salespeople? It doesn’t make any sense. But Why Should You Listen To Me? Good question – you should only take advice from people who are successful, and hopefully more successful than you are. My name is Darren Weeks, and I am proud to say that many of my students across the country call me the “Canadian Rich Dad”. Why? Because the monthly Passive Income (i.e. money I don’t have to work for) from my Investments and Businesses is more than what most Canadians work hard for all year long. It also has to do with the fact that I have a very close association with Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and that I have been sharing my “Canadianized” version of his teachings with hundreds of thousands of Canadians since 2001. I am very pleased that I have been able to show Canadians across the country how to take control of their own finances, and to live life on their own terms. I have spurred dozens of people (if not hundreds now) to become millionaires, or multimillionaires in 5 years or less. Now I do not take the credit for their success – they took the action and actually did something – and I am just happy that I was able to inspire them in some way. Here are Some Credentials… My companies, The Fast Track Group, were honored to be included in the 2010 Profit Magazine list of the fastest growing companies in Canada. One of my companies is also the official sponsor of the Canadian Luge team, and we attracted quite a bit of notoriety in the press during the recent Vancouver Olympics when it was leaked that I offered anyone on the team a $1,000,000 reward if they won a Gold medal (and my offer still stands for the 2014 games in Russia)! I don’t say this to brag, I just tell you this to credentialize myself a bit, and to give you confidence that I am not some fly-by-night quack out trying to peddle you some modern-day financial ‘snake-oil’. I actually do what I am going to teach you about – it’s not theory – it really works. I’m living proof of it. So are my students.

Now let’s get back to the point at hand – how YOU can get superior Return On Investment (ROI) on your hard-earned investment dollars. Here’s What Not to Do: If you follow the establishment’s rules, you will… Pay the highest MER’s in the world. Create a house of cards based portfolio, largely reliant on the U.S. dollar. Listen to advisors whose advice is proven to be about as accurate as a monkey throwing darts at stock picks on the wall... Continue to walk ‘blind’ with Banks, Mutual Fund Co’s, and even the Canadian Government wanting to keep you in the dark Think you are happy with returns that don’t even keep up with the real inflation rate (and the ‘official’ inflation calculations are an absolute crock.) Here are the Benefits of DOING IT RIGHT: But... When you learn the New Rules of Investing, you will... Discover that high returns = high risk is not always accurate. See how easy it can be to take control of your own investing without having to pay huge M.E.R’s (management expense ratios) Understand the pro’s and con’s of investing in gold and silver.

for being suspicious...there are a lot of seminar companies out there that do just that. I assure you, I do not. We do have a selection of quality books and resources available if you are interested. But that is not the goal of me putting on this event. My goal is to give you some phenomenal education and information and to hopefully help you to have a complete mind-shift when it comes to money and creating wealth in Canada. One of the biggest lessons I ever learned from my good friend and mentor, Robert Kiyosaki, is this: Give first without expectation of gain, and you will gain a lot in the long run. So, if you like what I say, you may decide you want to do business with my company in the future. Fair enough?

CD (a $39.95 value). This is my gift to you, as my way of thanking you for bringing your spouse or a guest.

Of course, putting on these events is very expensive. So to help defray the costs I have a very few, select sponsors. You get a fantastic financial education, I get to meet you and spread the Rich Dad message, and the sponsors get a few minutes to show you what they do. The best thing is…we all win!

ABBOTSFORD Events at 12-3 pm or 7-10 pm Tuesday, April 26 Ramada Plaza 36035 North Parallel Road Here are 2 ways to do it: 1. Register online at: www.AbbotsfordGetRichNow.com 2. or Call 1-877-RICH CDN (1-877-742-4236) with our 24hr. live operator.

So keep your cheque-book at home, come with an open mind to learn – there is nothing more expensive than a book at this event. How About if I Give You Even More? If I’m going to give away the farm, I might as well go even one step further…so, just for bringing your spouse or a like-minded guest to this FREE event, I want to give you another FREE gift…My “7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” audio

Never want to see another mutual fund or G.I.C. ever again!

Feel comfortable looking at different investment plans that may have baffled you before.

See how Robert Kiyosaki analyzes deals and how you can do the same, easily.

But do you think ultra-rich Canadians pay that much in taxes? Of course not. They know the legal loop-holes to minimize their tax burden or even eliminate it altogether. As a part of this presentation, I will share with you the tax shrinking strategies of the wealthy (even used by one previous Prime Minister). So you can either complain, gripe and gnash your teeth about how unfair it all is, or you can learn the Rules of the Canadian Rich. The Golden Rule when it comes to money is “He (or She) Who Has the Gold...Makes the Rules”. I’m going to level the playing field with what I teach you at this event, so you can play the game of money just like the rich folks do. And Why is This Event FREE? Now if you have ever been to another ‘Free’ financial education seminar before, you are probably worried that I am going to get you all fired up and excited, and then pull the old ‘baitand-switch’ on you about half way through, (and try and sell you some super expensive investment or real estate course/training). I don’t blame you

You must register immediately to attend my upcoming FREE

The average Canadian works over 6 months a year just to pay taxes! No wonder it is so darn hard to get ahead (and then to get a lousy or negative return on our hard-earned investment dollars to top it off – come on!)

See you at the top! Darren Weeks.

Cocaine bust An Abbotsford man was among four people arrested April 12 in Quesnel as part of a cocaine trafficking ring. RCMP said Kelly Edward Champagne, 34, was arrested with David George Massey, 43, of Quesnel and James Darren Peacock, 36, of Chilliwack at a strip mall. Two kilograms of cocaine and a large sum of cash were seized from two vehicles. Massey’s common-law wife, Tanya Lynn Shepherd, 42, was arrested the following day. Searches of a home and four businesses produced several rifles, two handguns, ammunition, body armour, two Tasers and more cash. Also seized was stolen property worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, including a one-ton flat-deck truck, an excavator, a tractor and other machinery. The four face a range of charges. Champagne was charged with drug trafficking and possession of stolen property over $5,000. He is also set to go to trial May 10 on a separate set of charges – five counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking – related to an offence in Abbotsford in February 2009.

April 25th is Parental Alienation Awareness Day Are you a parent who is being made the enemy of your children? This is PARENTAL ALIENATION! The BC Ministry of Attorney General is currently revising the Family Relations Act (FRA) and is passing new legislation very soon. We are concerned that this Ministry is under estimating the importance of specifically addressing Parental Alienation in the new FRA. Parental Alienation must be identified as a specific factor in divorce, along with specific remedies, in the new FRA. It also needs to be defined as a form of domestic violence and child abuse, which experts say it is. Parental Alienation frequently happens during a divorce or separation. It occurs when one parent actively works to align a child by unjustified or exaggerated denigration of the other parent, also making it difficult for those grandparents to stay connected to their grandchildren. For information on Parental Alienation visit www.nanaimomen.com or www.marsbc.com or http://www.paawareness.org We are asking concerned parents, family members, judges, lawyers, counsellors, psychologists, and other professionals to contact the Attorney General of BC and your local MLA immediately. Let them know you want Parental Alienation recognized with specific remedies in the new FRA legislation.

Lochbaum loves giving back

Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

These days, a significant amount of Kelly Lochbaum’s time is poured into serving as a volunteer coach with the junior varsity football team at Robert Bateman Secondary. Ask the former B.C. Lions linebacker why he thinks it a worthwhile investment, and he’ll point back to a dark period in his life when he thought his football career was over. In July 1992, just after his graduation from W.J. Mouat Secondary, Lochbaum was involved in a seven-car pileup on Highway 1. He suffered serious nerve damage in his back, and was in near-constant pain whether standing or sitting. Medical treatments seemed ineffective, and the promising prospect lost his football scholarship to Simon Fraser University. After a year away from the game, Lochbaum recovered sufficiently to return to the gridiron with the Abbotsford Air Force junior program, but he still wasn’t sure he had a future in the game. That’s when Dave Johnson got involved. The head coach at Abbotsford Senior Secondary got on the phone on Lochbaum’s behalf and found him a roster spot at Butte Junior College in Chico, Calif. After two seasons there, Lochbaum landed a full scholarship to Northern Arizona University. Lochbaum went on to play nine seasons in the CFL – eight with the B.C. Lions. He twice

Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame: Four new inductees share their stories

Yates helped build Abbotsford

Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

Ken Yates is being inducted into the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame as a community sport builder, and the description couldn't be more fitting. There's a plethora of recreation facilities in Abbotsford which bear Yates's fingerprints, a product of his 23 years as the city's director of parks and recreation (1977-2000). Consider, for instance, the very YATES Hall of Fame which Yates is about to enter. The local sports shrine is housed within the Legacy Building at Exhibition Park – both the building and the park were developed under Yates's guidance. On top of all of that, he was a founding director of the Hall of Fame itself. Continued on A23

While attending a soccer game in England, he was the victim of an unprovoked mugging by a hooligan. He hit his head on a concrete curb, and was advised by brain specialists not to play rugby again. “From a rugby perspective, you always want to go out on your own terms,” he noted. Cannon, who now works as a financial planner in Penticton,

hoisted the Grey Cup – in 2000 with the Lions, and in 2001 with the Calgary Stampeders. But without those phone calls from Johnson, now the head coach at SFU, Lochbaum doesn’t think his pro career would have happened. “I thought my football career

was over,” he said. “I had no idea what I was going to do. “What Dave did for me is what motivates me now as a coach. As much as you want to win, it’s more important to see the kids, when they’re done the program, be better people.” His impending induction into the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame has prompted

Lochbaum to reflect on the coaches who impacted him — the likes of Johnson and Denis Kelly, his high school bench boss at Mouat. “Your parents raise you, but you definitely take a piece of each coach you had,” said the 38-year-old, who works as a realtor in Abbotsford. “I get to pass that on to the kids.”

HUGE BLOWOUT BBQ SALE!!

"I'm very humbled," said Yates, 70. "I always thought that my job as parks and recreation director was to try to develop facilities and programs that would assist sporting groups and enhance their abilities. "I never looked at it as a thing where I'd get a reward at the end. My reward was seeing those people get out on the playing pitch and succeed." Facilities developed during Yates’s local tenure included the Matsqui and Abbotsford recreation centres, the Twisters

Gym, the Air Cadet building, and the Abbotsford Judo Club. The highlight, though, was the creation of Exhibition Park, a 75-acre spread on a former landfill site which features Rotary Stadium, sports fields, and multi-use buildings. "That project was a joint effort by everybody in the community who had an interest in sports or agriculture," said Yates, who led a 16-member steering committee. "It was very gratifying." Yates was also instrumental in the successful hosting of the
