Linda “Luongo” Berti was among ecstatic Canucks fans Tuesday night as the Vancouver NHL team kept its playoff hopes alive by scoring an overtime winning goal in game seven against the Chicago Blackhawks. Linda and husband Gord joined game spectators at Cheers on Gladwin Road. Abbotsford Police estimate that 2,000 cars and 4,000 people celebrated along South Fraser Way after the win, and no problems were reported.

Despite a chorus of voices calling for an emergency infusion of money to unclog B.C.’s critically congested court system, the provincial government has no such plans. In fact, more cuts are coming. The B.C. Provincial Court warned in its extraordinary Justice Delayed report last fall that another 17 judges must be hired just to get back to 2005 levels and stop the growth of the case backlog that increasingly lets criminals walk free because of unacceptable delays. Instead, February’s provincial budget approved more cuts for 2011 – one per cent for the judiciary, eight per cent for court services and six per cent for prosecution services to carve out another $14.5 million – followed by a funding freeze for the following two years until 2014. Years of attrition have whittled down the number of judges and sheriffs and increasingly complex, longer cases take up more time for prosecutors. More than 2,100 criminal cases are now at risk of being tossed out of court due to delays that threaten to violate the accused’s right to be tried within a reasonable time. As recounted in previous instalments in this investigative series, longer waits are hurting victims of spousal abuse, children in custody battles and other family law matters. Defendants are less likely to plea bargain and more apt to go to trial to try to exploit the long delays in the system. Even repeat speeders are challenging traffic tickets and then getting them quashed when they drag on too long in the courts. And critics say the the time and resources police spend investigating suspects who never go to trial is an unacceptable waste. “Clearly we have some challenges in certain areas,” B.C. Attorney General Barry Penner said in an interview

and, if convicted a second time, a minimum 30-day jail term. Penner counters that the public safety results look promising because fewer people now drive after drinking. Preliminary figures point to a 40 per cent drop in the number of impaired drivers on the road and fewer deaths as a result. But some observers question how much court time will be saved. They suggest police officers freed from drunk driving investigations and related paperwork will be back on patrol faster and finding other criminals to charge, adding cases back into the courts. The attorney general is also optimistic other reforms will save time in the courts. He points to a pilot project underway in Victoria that aims to streamline the court process and reduce the number of pre-trial appearances. There should be no need, Penner said, to have up to seven court appearances – as now sometimes happens – before a case is heard. “How many pre-trial appearances do you really need to have before you have a trial?” The change will require cooperation of judges, lawyers and prosecutors. Penner also said work is underway on new initiatives to settle family law disputes in less adversarial ways, such as mediation and discussion where possible. “They’re having some success,” he said. “There’s undoubtedly more we can do in that regard.” He said another potential avenue to reduce court congestion is through greater use of technology – from electronic filing of documents to more quickly distribute information to participants, to increased use of video conferencing. TTT How much money would it take to simply do what the judges recommend and bring court staffing levels back up to what existed six years ago?

Fire eyed as arson Injured man related to family in home Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Investigators in Abbotsford are considering arson as the cause of a barbecue fire Monday that resulted in a 46-year-old man being airlifted to hospital with serious burn injuries. Const. Ian MacDonald said the man was related to people in the home in the 3400 block of Promontory Court but did not live there himself. MacDonald did not reveal the nature of the relation-

home at the time of the incident included three chil-
dren – ages 8, 15 and 18 – and their mom. At about 1 p.m., a neighbour reported seeing a fire involving part of the home and the barbecue located on the back patio. When emergency crews arrived, they found the man collapsed on the front lawn. He was airlifted to hospital, where emergency surgery was performed. MacDonald said the man is now in a medically induced coma to treat his burns, but he could be facing charges in the future. The exact cause of the fire has not yet been disclosed. Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service and the Abbotsford Police Department are continuing to investigate.
Unprovoked attack ‘a hate crime’ Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A 63-year-old man was struck in the face with a liquor bottle Tuesday night in an unprovoked attack that Abbotsford Police say constitutes a hate crime. Const. Ian MacDonald said four IndoCanadian men were sitting on a bench at about 5:45 p.m. in the area of Old Yale Road and Mitchell Street – near Fishtrap Creek Park – when they were approached by a Caucasian man in his 20s. MacDonald said the man yelled obscenities and “derogatory ethnic comments.” He then produced either a beer bottle or
a liquor bottle and struck one of the men in the face with it, knocking the victim to the ground. The assailant fled on foot westbound along Dehavilland Drive, and the victim reported the incident to police. He did not require hospitalization, but his face was bruised, MacDonald said. Police canvassed other people in the area, and some reported having previously heard racial slurs from a person matching the suspect’s description. “We are of the strong belief that this individual lives in the area,” MacDonald said. The suspect has not yet been identified,
but is described as being in his mid-20s and clean-shaven with short dark-brown hair and a thin build. He will face charges of assault with a weapon and possible hate-crime offences. MacDonald said hate crimes are rare and, when they do occur, they tend to take the form of graffiti or vandalism – for example, to vehicles or places of worship. But an unprovoked violent attack on someone simply socializing with friends is “an act of cowardice,” MacDonald said. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police at 604-8595225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Dentist fighting suspension
Vikki HOPES
Abbotsford News
An Abbotsford dentist has been temporarily suspended from practice after the College of Dental Surgeons of BC (CDSBC) received six complaints from patients from 2008 to 2010. Dr. Clark Stelmaschuk is now fighting to have the interim suspension lifted until the outcome of a disciplinary hearing – scheduled to begin June 8 – is determined. Stelmaschuk, 68, was sus-

Train and Matt Nathanson will be joining the American rock band at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre this fall. Dates for the local show are expected be confirmed early next week. Other Canadian dates include a show in Toronto on Aug. 22, Winnipeg on Sept. 7, Saskatoon on Sept. 9 and Edmonton on Sept. 10. Maroon 5’s third album, Hands All Over, was released last September.

POLICE HEARING A public hearing date has been set for two Abbotsford Police officers who were the subjects of a video posted to YouTube in October 2009. Const. Doug Lemna and Const. Daryl Young are scheduled to appear Dec. 5 to 12 in Vancouver at a hearing ordered by the Office of the Public Complaint Commissioner. The review will consider whether the officers used excessive force during the arrest of suspected drug dealers on Oct. 9, 2009 near Ravine Park. The arrest was filmed by a local resident and posted on YouTube. Lemna has filed a petition in the Supreme Court of B.C. to be excluded from the hearing.
FOR THE RECORD A photo caption on the front page of the Thursday, April 21 edition of The News contained incorrect information. The picture depicted an art piece displayed at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre as part of the Dogwood Scholarship Competition for Grade 12 students. The artist of the piece, “Eyes of Afghanistan,” was listed as Kirsten McAllister of Robert Bateman Secondary. In fact, McAllister is a student at Rick Hansen Secondary.

Dental practice shut down
TEMPLE FIRE
From A5
cuss whether the suspension should be lifted and, instead, conditions or limits imposed. One of the six complainants is a patient who received an undisclosed out-of-court settlement from Stelmaschuk after a half-inch piece from a metal or plastic dental instrument broke off in the root cavity of a tooth during a procedure in 2007. The piece then travelled into the patient’s upper jaw and sinuses, “causing severe and prolonged pain and discomfort, infection, headaches and nausea,” according to Supreme Court civil documents from
that case. In last week’s ruling, the judge stated that “the issues raised by the complainants were wide-ranging but generally involved similar allegations of dental implants gone very wrong, resulting in longterm consequences and pain.” Speaking to The News, Stelmaschuk said he has shut down his practice on Bourquin Crescent West and does not know when, or if, he will reopen in another location, if the disciplinary hearing determines he can practise again. He said he has been offered an overseas dentistry-teaching job that he will consider. Stelmaschuk said the com-
plaints are the result of a bureaucratic system that sees people running to authority instead of trying to work through the problem. “Essentially, I’ve always tried to do a lot of difficult dentistry and I probably never realized I couldn’t help everybody ... Most people are happy with me, but you’re not going to have everyone that is pleased with you.” He said the suspension has left him without any source of income, as he is not permitted to work in the field of dentistry in any capacity, including teaching or consulting. “It’s kind of like being shot in the back.”
Up to $30M per year needed From A4

Fire crews were called to a blaze at the Hindu temple at 31545 Walmsley Ave. yesterday (Wednesday) at about 10:45 a.m. The fire began at the back of the building, on the same property where priest Karam Vir was arrested in November and charged with sexual offences involving two teenage girls. No further details on the fire were available before press deadline.
Adding 17 judges costs more than strictly their annual salaries of about $235,000 each plus pensions and benefits. Additional sheriffs, prosecutors, court clerks and even janitorial staff must accompany them. All in, the cost is about $1.5 million per judge.

Solving the problem would therefore cost roughly $25 to $30 million a year in additional funding – as well as a decision to forestall the further cuts now planned. That’s roughly a six per cent increase in the $458-million operating budget of the attorney general’s ministry. Advocates describe
it as barely a rounding error in terms of the multi-billion-dollar health care budget. But Penner said increased funding is not an option right now. He cited twin uncertainties clouding the province’s finances: the tepid economic recovery that could falter due to rising oil prices or other fac-
tors; and the fate of the Harmonized Sales Tax, which if defeated in this summer’s referendum could force B.C. to repay $1.6 billion in transition benefits provided by Ottawa. “If the HST is rejected, that will have significant financial consequences to the treasury in future years,” Penner said.

Royal diversion
On Friday, an estimated two billion people around the world will be glued to their televisions to watch the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. They’ll also be able to view the pomp and ceremony on an official royal YouTube channel, or a royal wedding app on their iPhone, or follow it on a live blog. According to the technology firm Greenlight, the royal wedding is being mentioned 9,000 times a day online, or once every 10 seconds. No detail is too minute or mundane for scrutiny, from speculation on Middleton’s dress and who’s designing it, to who’s on the guest list, to the gifts, the appetizers, the menu, the carriage, the weather. The cynics, meanwhile, roll their eyes. They dismiss the royal family as irrelevant; they don’t make decisions, they don’t create policy. Critics scorn their lavish lifestyles of privilege as a needless
burden on taxpayers. They shake their heads at the expense and attention paid to a royal wedding as an affront when people are dying in wars, struggling to rebuild their lives after disasters, dealing with the daily challenges of disease, starvation and poverty. But it’s those very realities that pique our interest and curiosity about the royals, their wealth, their lifestyles, their foibles and follies. It’s human nature to seek escape from all the challenges of just getting through the day, whether it’s turning up the volume on a favourite song, to popping into the coffee shop for a calorie-laden snack, to scanning the headlines on the gossip magazines at the grocery store checkout. For most, the royal wedding is no more than that, a diversion. So sit back and enjoy. The problems of the world return on Saturday. – Black Press
Now can we talk about the HST? Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views Even if movies based on video games aren’t your cup of tea, the recent Disney production Tron: Legacy is notable as a measure of the sophistication of the B.C. motion picture industry. A showcase of the latest computergenerated 3D effects, including a rendering of actor Jeff Bridges as he looked in the original version 30 years ago, Tron: Legacy was nominated for an Oscar and won several other awards for technical achievement. The sleek, lighted suits worn by characters were custom-made in the United States at a cost of $22 million, then brought to Vancouver for filming. Due to the vagaries of the old provincial sales tax, Disney had to pay about $1.5 million in PST because they were used here. A friend in the business tells me
this was more of a deterrent to movie production in B.C. than the current weakness of the U.S. dollar. It’s the kind of expensive insult added to the injury of dealing with two different, complicated sales taxes, and it’s one of many unintended business problems fixed by harmonized sales tax. Despite B.C.’s reputation for movie wizardry, the next Tron might be made somewhere else if the HST is rejected. Regular readers will know I am an advocate of the HST, and the general trend away from income taxes and towards consumption taxes. But most people I talk to aren’t interested in the economics, except as it relates to their own wallets. They don’t believe that taxes imposed on business will either be passed on to consumers, or avoided by changing locations. And they are bombarded with bogus arguments in this spring of election fever. Federal NDP leader Jack Layton is the worst offender. Like his B.C. counterparts, he has run to the front of the anti-HST parade. Unlike the B.C. NDP, Layton knows he will never have to implement his promises in government,
so he offers to write off the $1.6 billion transition fund that B.C. has applied to its deficit. In effect, the rest of the provinces would subsidize B.C. for bringing back an archaic sales tax. That’s not even Layton’s dumbest idea. He’s been wandering the country
Despite B.C.’s reputation for movie wizardry, the next Tron might be made somewhere else if the HST is rejected promising to remove GST from heating bills, a $700 million tax cut that would help the rich as much as the poor. Surely B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix would not approve of such a regressive tax shift. (Presumably Layton has been briefed by now that B.C.’s portion of the HST
doesn’t apply to heating bills, so he won’t confuse us with Ontario any more.) Dix talks about HST falling on small business. There is an impact on service businesses, notably restaurants, but ask a self-employed person or small business operator if they’d like to go back to administering two different sales taxes. Quarterly HST rebate cheques went out last week to more than a million B.C. residents at the lowest end of the income scale. Ask those people if they’d like to lose that benefit, a real example of the kind of income equalizing measure that Dix calls his top priority. Ask a laid-off mill employee if he’d like to go back to work, and pay HST on movies and a dinner out. Q Further to last week’s column about Dix’s plan to raise corporate tax rates, I now regret referring to his program as “Marxism Lite.” I fell for his strident rhetoric about taxing big corporations. His proposal amounts to raising the tax on corporate net income in excess of $500,000 by a modest two per cent.

Save disabled parking for most in need I am writing in response to the article "Disability may not be visible" in your April 23rd issue. The person who screamed at the family who parked in a disabled spot because their six year old son has difficulty walking due to muscular dystrophy was completely inappropriate and way out of line. It must have been a very stressful ordeal for the entire family
especially the little boy. I have been married to a paraplegic man for nearly 31 years. I cannot count the number of times we have had to park long distances from where we need to go because someone who is able to walk took the last wheelchair parking space available. A person who is still able to be ambulatory, no matter the difficulty, should never take a
A writer says those living in strata properties have to be educated about recycling and held accountable if proposed composting program is to work.
Treated like kids When I watched the leaders’ debate, I was very disappointed that they were trying so hard to win votes that they didn’t address the most important problems Canada is facing. It seemed to me that they treated the voters like a bunch of small children, waiting to see how many more goodies they were offering than the other guy. We have just weathered a deep recession, and the government had to bail out the automobile manufacturers to keep people working. They had to borrow money for infrastructure to create jobs. We have kept our banks afloat. In short, we have done better than most countries in the world. We need intelligent leaders who will try to get our debts paid, so our children and grandchildren are not burdened forever. Let’s teach our children to become responsible, self-respecting, confident members of society, instead of children who are always looking for something for nothing, always expecting somebody else to do the work, and getting paid for doing the least work they can get away with. Justine Warkentin
wheelchair parking space unless there are several more to go around. In the case of the family mentioned above they should either have a wheelchair for their son to use or they should assist him with walking (or carry him) to where they are going. The day will likely be coming when the six year old son will need to use a wheelchair all the time, and then
that family will experience what my husband and I have been going through for 30-plus years. As long as your son is able to walk, you should park in a regular space as close to the disabled spots as you can but not in them. While he is still so little one or both of you should be able to assist him with his walking. Karen Gardner
More accountability needed
Re: Trash to cash; The News, April 23. While I may personally think that this is a great idea, I am wondering how this will work out in actual practice in multi-family complexes. I live in a strata townhouse complex and the recycling efforts of residents here could be greatly improved. On a semi-regular basis, I still see basic recycling materials like cardboard in the garbage bins. Soon, residents may need to further divide their garbage into
compostables and not? I’m afraid that this will be a terrible disaster, as I’m sure many tin cans (amongst many other items) are still being put into the regular garbage bags. This problem is not unique, as I have seen these kinds of situations within other apartment and townhouse complexes. Strata councils and residents lack in personal responsibility to do the right thing. Picture this: You have a garbage bin and a recycling bin sitting side by side, and still you see recy-
cling materials in the garbage bin? This is not uncommon. Strata councils and residents need to be repeatedly educated as to how to recycle properly, but that is not enough. There needs to be accountability for composting (and recycling in general) to work properly. Strata councils need to actively enforce this, before fines are levied on them, or refusal to empty bins by private companies. We all need to work together for this to work properly. Reynold Nugter
A challenge to reduce our ‘footprint’ Just sitting around thinking of something I could do to help our green footprint, so I picked up a garbage bag and picked up litter along Westview Drive up to Applewood. There are so many paper cups, I don’t understand how people can be
so ignorant and throw things out on the street instead of taking them home to their garbage cans. I will continue to pick up stuff on my regular walks and challenge other walkers to do the same. Another thought crossed my mind.
Why not have our garbage picked up once every two weeks instead of every week? This would cut down on pollution from the trucks etc. Let’s give it a try and see how it works – if it doesn’t we can go back to once a week. Dennis Hagen

It’s simple to vote I have recently had to depend on crutches to get around and went to the advance polls to vote. They make it so simple and easy, why can not everyone vote? I am proud to be part of the process, and as I walked to my car I thought of those in other countries where they fear for their lives when they go to vote. Make a statement, get out and vote.

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Two men were taken to hospital Tuesday after being beaten during a home invasion in an Abbotsford apartment building. Const. Ian MacDonald said police received a call at about 10:30 a.m. from a neighbour who said fighting could be heard in a nearby suite. Police initially logged the call as a “domestic in process,� but discovered different circumstances when they arrived at the Abby Glen Apartments at 2929 Tims St. MacDonald said two tenants of the fifth-floor suite, ages 29 and 24, were suffering from cuts and bruises, and were taken to hospital for treatment. The door of their suite and a bedroom door in the apartment had both been smashed in.
Police are still trying to piece together what happened, but neighbours indicated the tenants, who had lived in the building for about three months, were troublesome. “It looks like (the incident) was more along the lines of a drug debt collection ... or an assault,� MacDonald said. He did not know how many assailants were involved and what gang affiliations the parties had, if any. No guns or knives were used. An eviction notice was posted on the door of the suite following the incident and listed “drug-free housing� rules that tenants must abide by, including not engaging in violent or drug-related criminal activity. Any violation of the terms is grounds for a 48-hour notice of eviction, the notice stated.

she was six years old and spent two and a half years in and out of the hospital for treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation and several surgeries. She has been in remission since 1999, but goes back to BCCH once a year for tests. “Many people know about cancer, but childhood cancer needs more awareness,” Jeffries said of one of the reasons she participates.

O’Neill twins are double trouble Talented siblings lead U18 Mariners to Coastal Cup final
Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
When Alan Errington watches twin brothers Connor and Colton O’Neill patrol the pitch for his Magnuson Ford Mariners FC under-18 boys soccer team, a wave of déjà vu washes over him. It was nearly a decade ago that head coach Errington helmed a memorable squad that won U18 national championships in 2002 and 2003. That team, now legendary in Abbotsford soccer circles, featured twin midfielders Mike and James Riehl. “The last time I had twins on the same team, we won two national titles back to back,” Errington mused. “And this team is as good as that team, talent-wise. Whether they’ll get there or not, who knows.” If the 2011 edition of the
Mariners ascends to those lofty heights, you can be sure the O’Neill twins will be influential. Connor, the elder sibling by 25 minutes, is a centre midfielder who scored both of the Mariners’ goals in a 2-1 victory over Richmond United in the Coastal Cup semifinals last week. Colton, a right back and team captain, anchors a defence that has allowed just one goal in three playoff games. The twins shared the local soccer association’s male player of the year award this season, and they’ve helped the U18s to within two victories of a national championship berth. The Mariners face the North Shore Selects in the Coastal Cup final this Saturday (5 p.m., Minoru Stadium in Richmond). If they Continued on A22

Cascades will dress a trio of O’Neills this fall From A19
win the regional title, they’d play the top team from the Interior for the right to represent B.C. at nationals, which run Oct. 5-10 in Fredricton, N.B. A trip to nationals would represent the fulfillment of potential for this Mariners group, which despite its talent, has tended to underachieve at playoff time in the lower age levels. Errington speaks
frequently of the 2002-03 championship teams as a means to motivate his current crew. “Alan’s always telling us stories about them,” Colton said. “He says we’re probably more talented, but they’ve got the better work rate.” “It’s exciting,” Connor added, looking ahead to the Coastal Cup final. “It’s our last chance to win something, and it’s our last year of youth soccer.”
The O’Neills, age 17 at the University of the and in Grade 12 at W.J. Fraser Valley, and Colton Mouat Secondary, and Connor will are following in join him on the the footsteps of Cascades roster their older brother this fall. Trevor in many “We’ve always respects. Trevor, played together a centre back, in our back yard, preceded them as but I’ve never Abbotsford soccer actually been on a player of the year, ERRINGTON team with them,” winning the award Trevor noted. “It’s in 2009. He’s also heading something we’ve never into his third season experienced, but it should playing under Errington be good, because the
chemistry will be there right away.” Errington said that having three brothers on the same team is both special and rare. “The only time I can recall it was way, way back in the ’80s, when Bobby, Sam and Dan Lenarduzzi played together (for the Vancouver Whitecaps) for one game in the NASL,” he said. “But the O’Neills will do that for UFV next year.” Personality-wise, Trevor
O’Neill says his younger brothers are fairly similar – laid-back, humble guys who give an honest effort on the pitch. At the same time, they’re definitely two different people. “My mom, back in the day, she’d get them the same clothes because they’re twins, and they couldn’t stand that,” Trevor recalled with a chuckle. “They like having their own stuff – their own fashion, their own friends.”

Although I often think if one was to look up to the heavens on a clear star-lit night you just may see two beautiful angels looking down and watching over us. If you were to listen, really listen, you may hear them say “We are fine and at peace together, and wish you a very happy 60th anniversary next month. Love you all Mom, Dad, Pam&George”. We miss you girls very much, Mom & Dad.

I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone ~ I am with you still ~ in each new dawn.

Between stardom and motherhood Sarah McLachlan balances life as a single mother and a touring artist Ashley WRAY Abbotsford News

Submitted photo
Sarah McLachlan is ending her North American tour in Abbotsford with a performance at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre this Sunday evening.
etween cooking, taking her kids to school and performing across North America, Sarah McLachlan still finds time to squeeze in an interview. Such was the case last week, as she was trying to pack for a quick getaway to Costa Rica – a short holiday before her latest tour wraps up in Abbotsford this Sunday. Speaking from her Vancouver home, she was the famous singer/ songwriter – and a mother. “…Oh sweetie, can you just listen?” she said, holding the phone away from her face. “... Just don’t hit your sister. Keep your hands to yourself.” And then it was back to the interview. “They’re quiet for 30 minutes and the second I get on the phone they start fighting – without fail,” she said with a long sigh and a laugh. Revolving her schedule around her two daughters is a change in pace for the Canadian singer and songwriter,

who has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide since she started in the music industry in 1988. In that time, she has won three Grammy’s, eight Junos and received the Order of Canada. She’s been recognized for advancing the careers of women by starting the Lilith Fair Concert Series, the first all-female touring festival. And she’s always made time to work with charitable organizations, from benefit concerts to SPCA commercials. Currently, McLachlan is busy promoting her latest record, Laws of Illusion. It’s her first studio album of new material in seven years – in which time she has married, separated and learned how to be a single mom. So how does McLachlan find time to balance such a hectic schedule? “Like any other working mother, you figure out ways to manage,” Continued on B2

she said, adding that she has a great support system. She’s also adjusted the way she works, limiting her time on the road to two weeks on and two weeks off, with her daughters joining her for small portions. “I don’t do it the way I used to, touring for one or two years at a time and burning myself out. My kids are my number one priority. I love that I get to do both. I get to take the kids to school and make dinners, but I also have this crazy other life where I get to play on stage in front of tons of people. I consider myself very lucky.” When McLachlan does find some downtime at home, she likes to get reconnected with her kitchen, and catch up with friends and family. Hitting the gym, practising yoga and hiking the trails around Vancouver – one of her favourite things about the West Coast – helps her return to a state of calm. And while McLachlan still finds the time to play the
piano daily, writing is more of a rarity. “It’s a bit of a discipline – I’d love to say I take an hour or two a day but it doesn’t work like that. I steal moments, and if I have an idea then I’ll sit down and
write.” For McLachlan, ending her current tour close to home is a bonus. The Sarah and Friends tour will showcase her friends and band members, Butterfly Boucher and Melissa McClelland. The intimate performance will also see McLachlan answering questions from
the audience. McLachlan will put the questions into a hat, place them on her piano and randomly pluck them out between songs. She likes how the process includes the audience and gives them a chance to know her better. So far, it’s been entertaining, she said. “When you don’t have to sign your name they can be pretty fun. The questions have run the gamut – from super serious like, ‘What is your idea of spirituality?’ to, ‘Do you sweat behind your knees?’” Remembering that her friends and family are attending the upcoming show, she’s expecting an interesting and amusing night. The Sarah and Friends tour will be stopping at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre on Sunday, May 1. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $69.50 and $45.50 and are available at abbotsfordcentre.ca, the AESC box office or by phone at 1-866-977-AESC (2372).

More confidence in Valley market

According to RealNet Canada, in 2010, the market witnessed 155 transactions with a total value of $194 million versus 146 transactions with a total value of $191 million in 2009. However, deal activity in 2010 was moderated by a lack of available quality product. “We are witnessing a renewed interest in develop-

ment sites as several local speculators, investors and users are re-entering the market,” says Avison Young broker John Eakin, a Fraser Valley industrial sales and leasing specialist. Eakin adds that strata properties remain a popular option in the Fraser Valley as the low cost of debt encourages ownership when compared with leasing. “With rental rates expected to rise further this year, demand for strata has increased dramatically in the Fraser Valley. We anticipate increased activity due to pent-up demand, which will put upward pressure on lease rates as inventory declines throughout the balance of 2011 due to requirements from expansion-minded owner/users,” he says. Capitalization rates in the Fraser Valley have declined to the 6 – 6.5 per cent range from seven per cent in recent months as pricing strengthened. The decline in capitalization rates is a direct result of investors placing capital in industrial real estate as a preferred alternative to low yields available in other investment vehicles. An attractive debt market, with record low lending rates and appealing loan-to-value ratios, has created the leverage investors require to meet vendor-pricing expectations.
