P3 vote: No go, or solo? Mission rejection creates new scenario Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

Abbotsford council’s vote on a P3 water supply system will proceed, despite Mission’s rejection of the concept. “That may be it for Mission, but we’ll still vote (on April 18) ... We aren’t about to turn our backs on $70 million in funding,” Peary said Tuesday. T h e AbbotsfordMission Water and Sewer Commission had been looking at a P3 (Private Public PEARY Par tnership) proposal to build a $300-million water supply and treatment plant at Stave Lake to augment the current publicly owned water system consisting of Norrish Creek, Cannel Lake and 19 wells. On Monday, both councils were to vote on a motion to apply for federal funding worth almost $72 million. Abbotsford deferred its vote, while Mission narrowly defeated the final part of a four-part motion, blocking

Stave Lake, north of Mission, is seen as an additional source of water for Abbotsford and Mission in the near future. the P3 option. Peary said Mission’s decision won’t affect Abbotsford’s vote. “I won’t let the tail wag the dog ... If they don’t want to participate in this venture, it’s their choice,” said Peary, who added Abbotsford could apply on its own, outside of the water commission. “We may have to scale it down a little, but there are still options.” He said Mission is still welcome as a partner, but they would have to pay 100 per cent of their costs.

“If we acquired funding, it would be for Abbotsford. Mission wouldn’t get a free ride,” said Peary. He said the water issue hasn’t been solved, as a new source is still needed. Conservation may be a solution for a year or two, but eventually a new facility has to be built. For a P3 project to become a reality, council approval would be needed to apply for funding, PPP Canada would have to accept the modified proposal, and ultimately, Abbotsford voters would have to give con-

sent during a referendum in November. If Abbotsford succeeds in creating its own water treatment plant, Peary said this city would supply water to Mission, if there was such a request. “But they would pay the premium just like any other customer, rather than a partner.” Peary said there will be a “very different” working relationship at the next water commission meeting. As for Mission’s decision to opt out of the plan, Mayor James Atebe said Mission council received a “very clear message” from the community that a P3 was not welcome. “I will be asking my staff to talk with Abbotsford to see where we can go from here,” he said. “We still want to pursue funding from ATEBE higher levels of government.” Atebe said the main concern of his community appeared to be the operating side of the P3. He believes people may be willing to consider a P3 agreement if it only involved designing, building and financing a Stave Lake supply and treatment system. “People don’t want a private business running it ... I won’t give up ... we need a water system,” said Atebe.

Pricier summer water use Users will now be billed on a tiered rate system Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

Abbotsford residents will be paying more for their water during summer months, depending on use. Council approved a seasonal water rate system, increasing the price of consumption during peak months. According to city statistics, under the new rate system, the average Abbotsford home (single-family with 3.2 peo-

ple) will pay about $375 a year for water. The alternative was a flat rate (non-tiered system) of $1.15 per cubic metre, which would have seen the average home pay $376. The current $1.02 rate has an annual home average of $333. Under the new system, from November to April, homeowners will pay $1.13 per cubic metre (1,000 litres) of water, no matter how much they use.

the Wild Orange spa

However, from May to October, only the first 60 cubic metres used (over a two-month period) is $1.13 per cubic metre. From 60 to 90 cubic metres consumed, the price rises to $1.43, and for any amount over 90 cubic metres, the cost will be $2.26. Coun. John Smith was adamantly opposed to the idea, saying higher rates for water used in the summer are unfair to people who live on acreage, have vegetable

gardens or large families. He asked council to wait a year and allow the new radio water metres to provide more information on individual water use. Smith said he doesn’t think the city has enough data to properly establish the rates. Mayor George Peary responded by citing a neighbour as an example, saying all summer long the person washed his car and his boat.

“If he’s going to do it, he should pay for the privilege.” The tiered system applies to residential users only. Commercial, industrial, institutional and farm water rates have all been increased by 12.7 per cent. All rates go into effect on July 1, 2011. About 10 million litres of water go unbilled daily, due to leaks, firefighting efforts and hydrant flushing.

NewsBytes INCREASED ENROLMENT Initial projections for September 2011 kindergarten enrolment indicate the number of students could be up nine or 10 per cent in Abbotsford. This September will see the final implementation of full-day kindergarten across B.C. Preliminary projections are for 1,216 kindergarten students in Abbotsford, compared to the final enrolment of 1,142 in September 2010.

TRUSTEE PAY REVIEW A five-member committee has been appointed by the Abbotsford board of education to review trustee remuneration and to recommend any changes. A report in September 2008 recommended that a trustee indemnity committee be established at the start of the year of a general civic election, which takes place in Abbotsford this November. Appointed to the committee were: lawyer Doug MacAdams, city councillor Lynne Harris, Jackie Hogan from UFV, Bud Loewen of the District Parents Advisory Council, and Michael McWhinney of the Abbotsford police board.

CHARGES STAYED One of the two men who were arrested after a home invasion last month involving an 89-yearold woman had his charges stayed in court on Tuesday. Cyril Howe, 28, had been charged with robbery and breakand-enter. Co-accused Clarke Doherty, 26, next appears April 11 in Abbotsford provincial court on the same charges. The victim was sleeping when the door of her apartment in the 2000 block of Gladwin Road was kicked in at about 1:45 a.m. on March 13. A man entered her bedroom and demanded cash before fleeing. The woman was not physically harmed. Neighbours called police and provided a description of the get-away car. Two men were arrested about one kilometre from the scene.

Public voices P3 concerns

Kevin MILLS

Abbotsford News

After a long meeting Monday night, Abbotsford council is delaying its vote on applying for a P3 grant. The anti-P3 crowd was vocal in its opposition to the idea, often speaking from their seats and even yelling at the stage. “I’m very disappointed that we’ve gone this far without looking at other options,” said Regina Dalton. “There has to be a plan B.” Abbotsford and Mission have been examining a proposal to enter into a public/ private partnership to create a new water treatment plant at Stave Lake. The project is estimated to cost $300 million, and there is a possibility of close to $72 million in federal funding. Many speakers felt conservation might be enough to solve Abbotsford’s water dilemma, at least long enough to explore other options. Aird Flavelle said with increased volume from the city’s Bevan wells, expected to be approved this summer, the city’s water capacity rises from 143 million litres

KEVIN MILLS

Abbotsford News

Abbotsford CUPE president Murray Jones was among speakers addressing council on the P3 water project Monday night. to 170 million a day. On average, the city uses 78 million litres a day. In the summer months, water use rises to the 140-million litre mark. Other speakers didn’t like the idea of a private company having anything to do with the water system. “It’s not P3, it’s P4 – private profit, public pays,” said Gerda Peachy. “It’s my water, our water. It should stay in public hands,”

said Moe Gidda. Murray Jones, president of local 774 (Abbotsford) of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), asked council if it could control the private investors if they wanted to sell excess water. “Do you think that a multinational corporation will allow the city to tell them to turn the water on or off ?” he asked. The city has maintained

that any private investor would not own the water rights and could not sell it – with that option remaining in the public domain. Jones also addressed a comment Mayor George Peary made last week about getting into a “war” with the union. “I would like to think that we are engaged in a debate, not a war. And CUPE would welcome any opportunity to meet with you ... especially if you have facts that we don’t know,” said Jones. Tempers began to flare as some speakers became frustrated that councillors would not answer questions. Peary explained to the crowd that council’s role during public input sessions was to listen, not “get into a debate.” Seventeen people spoke against the P3 idea, some more than once. It was the consistently negative response that prompted Coun. Simon Gibson to suggest delaying the vote until the April 18 meeting. “I’m relatively comfortable with the P3 idea, but I think it would be prudent to delay the vote so we can consider the comments,” he said.

Close to 100 turn out for Mission water debate

Carol AUN

Black Press

Mission council has rejected a bid for a P3 water supply system at Stave Lake. In a four-part vote, Mission council agreed to receive the business plan and to seek provincial funding. However, the final two portions of the vote didn’t go as smoothly. Mission narrowly approved submitting a grant request to PPP Canada, in a close 4-3 vote, with Couns. Jenny Stevens, Heather Stewart, and Mike Scudder opposed. However, the final issue, to undertake the P3 project itself, and allowing it to go to referendum, was defeated by a 3-4 vote. That nixed the opportunity for the previously approved P3 funding request. Coun. Danny Plecas, in addition to the other three councillors, objected to the final issue. The vote came after a lively public

input session with close to 100 concerned residents, mostly members of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and Citizens Against Urban Sprawl Society (CAUSS), filling council chambers and the lobby of municipal hall, as elected officials in Mission listened to speakers for more than four hours. “Everyone is gravely concerned about this; we don’t want private corporations to have anything to do with our water,” said Mission resident and CUPE spokesperson Diane KalenSukra. There will be a loss of transparency and accountability if that happens, she predicted. She added council’s intentions are good because they want to provide residents with clean, safe water, but corporations simply want to make money. “Water is worth more than gold, more than oil. If they control the water,

they’ll control our lives.” Although Mayor James Atebe and other staff members explained numerous times the ownership of the water will remain public in a P3 situation, Kalen-Sukra’s concern was shared by many audience members. Kevin Francis gave examples of how some European nations failed to keep the water system public. “There hasn’t been one example in the world where rates have gone down due to privatization of the water system and there are now a dozen trading companies on the market dealing exclusively in water.” A couple of speakers told council they would rather pay higher taxes to the district to keep the system public. Only Mission Chamber of Commerce manager Michelle Favero spoke in favour of the P3 arrangement on behalf of members. The proceedings had to be halted several times to address rude remarks and gestures.

Major step for animals

It took the slaughter of 100 Whistler sled dogs, but the provincial government has ﬁnally moved on tougher animal cruelty laws, and support for the BC SPCA. Premier Christy Clark announced Tuesday that the Liberals would follow through on all 10 recommendations made by a special task force which investigated the killing of the dogs by a tour operator after the Olympics. Most encouraging among those changes is an increase in the maximum penalties from $10,000 to $75,000 in ﬁnes, and two years in jail terms instead of six months. We sincerely hope the courts will levy those harsher sentences as a deterrent to others. Also welcome news was the government’s commitment of $100,000 toward the SPCA’s animal cruelty investigation costs. That will be immediately absorbed by the sled dog case, which is estimated to have cost in the range of $200,000.

More signiﬁcantly, Clark has also said Victoria will also contribute on an annual basis to the SPCA’s operating budget. Prior to this, the BC SPCA has been run entirely on private donations – an appalling situation considering it is the only agency in the province tasked with animal protection law enforcement and investigation. For decades, the SPCA has provided a vital service, but did so on a shoestring, funded not by government, but by people committed to animal welfare. Now it remains to be seen how much Clark’s government will be tossing into the pot, considering the SPCA says it is in dire need of six more enforcement constables in the province, at an annual cost of about $500,000. If these steps, and the other recommendations are adopted, it will be a major step forward in preventing animal cruelty in this province.

NDP aims to bring back the ’90s Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views It’s the most shopworn cliché of the B.C. Liberal government, one that for years has induced eye-rolling in the legislature press gallery. The dark decade, the dismal decade, the decade of destruction, cabinet ministers have chanted since 2001. The 1990s, when investment, jobs and people packed up and headed for the B.C. border in response to the NDP governments of Mike Harcourt and Glen Clark. As the NDP leadership candidates near the end of their marathon run of debates around the province, the front-runners are ﬁghting hard to turn that conventional wisdom around. Vancouver-Kingsway MLA Adrian Dix makes a statistical case with his usual intensity: B.C.’s economic growth averaged around three per cent per year during the 1990s, and only two per cent during the supposedly prosperous

decade of Gordon Campbell. This mainly demonstrates what former premier Bill Bennett observed: B.C. is a small resource economy whose prosperity is largely at the mercy of world markets. Those northeast coal mines that Bennett’s government nurtured are up and running again, with new ones held back only by a lack of port capacity. All a B.C. government can do is create conditions that help or hinder economic growth. And there is little doubt that NDP governments of the 1990s hindered it, with taxes that caused miners to ﬂee, choking forest regulations to appease urban environmentalists, and infantile tantrums aimed at both the Canadian and U.S. governments. Dix’s Vancouver Island rival John Horgan also wants to take back the 1990s. He claims a list of NDP accomplishments: the Agricultural Land Reserve, B.C. Transit, the Columbia Basin Trust, the B.C. Ambulance Service. Alas, B.C. Transit is more properly attributed to B.C.’s greatest-ever socialist, W.A.C. Bennett. The ALR and ambulance service were hurried projects of the Dave Barrett regime of the early 1970s, and the ambulance service stands

today as a symbol of the hazards of unionized government monopolies. The Columbia Basin Trust was a Harcourt-era accomplishment, and it’s a worthwhile effort to share the beneﬁts of the dams on the Columbia River with the region.

The important question for B.C. voters today is, what would the next NDP goverment do? But the important question for B.C. voters today is, what would the next NDP government do? Would there be a Peace Basin Trust along with the Site C dam? Not that I’ve heard of. Today’s NDP has no coherent energy policy, just pandering to knee-jerk opposition to Site C, recanted opposition to the carbon tax, and some neo-Marxist claptrap that all power projects are evil unless they’re shackled to a unionized

government monopoly. The NDP candidates’ recent health care debate featured promises to roll back the contracted-out health care support jobs, reconstructing the small portion of the unionized health monopoly broken up by the Campbell government. NDP front-runner Mike Farnworth also scorned the “rethermed” hospital food that is part of the desperate effort to rein in health care costs. Candidates mused about bringing in fresh local food for hospital patients, which sounds nice but can only add costs. The health care crisis is bad and getting worse. If all the NDP can do is whine about “Tim Hortons medicine” and wave an organic carrot, I suspect Tommy Douglas wouldn’t be impressed. As this column noted in January, the B.C. NDP constitution remains explicitly opposed to proﬁt and explicitly in favour of a state-controlled command economy. Harcourt and Carole James both tried to ease the party out of that rut, as Tony Blair did with the UK Labour Party. Both were dumped. Now the NDP strains to look ahead, but sees only the past. tﬂetcher@blackpress.ca

Not all have such little respect for people

I am a 15-year-old student at Robert Bateman Secondary. I recently attended a city council meeting on April 4. I went to hear a discussion on the P3 water decision. The people who were speaking were completely rude, and I have to say I was disgusted. I was sitting there quietly, listening to the opinion of other citizens on the P3 decision. Most of the others, I cannot say did the same. They were loud and rude, and did not listen respectfully. They also did not

Getting hosed at the pumps We continue to get hosed at the pump. As prices here go up and down like a yo-yo – 1.19.4 to 125.9 on Tuesday, back to 1.19.4 on Wednesday. I ask why? I’m so fed up with being gouged, I’ve gone to Sumas, Wa. for three Saturdays in a row. Same price – $3.879 a U.S. gallon. Why doesn’t their price change like ours does? We have our own supply here. We don’t need to import. It’s about time we benefited from that. John Sykes

speak respectfully. I understand that you can speak with emotion, I respect that. But, yelling at council and his Worship, that is uncalled for. And, not speaking on the topic just wastes time. Mayor Peary clearly stated at the beginning that sticking to five minutes each would be helpful to make the meeting go quicker. The people just revolted, said that was uncalled for. I disagree, and believe that you shouldn’t waste everyone’s time. I was very seriously scared that there

would be a brawl. I felt that if the council decided on passing it, that the people in the audience would go onto the stage and attack as a mob. I am embarrassed of those people who spoke out, and said that they represented Abbotsford. I know, if only me – and I’m sure there are more – that not everyone feels the same. I have a love for politics, and get offended at people who rag on politicians. I can see now why people are disgusted by politics. It’s not only their opinions of

the politicians, but of how people react, and are flat out rude. I would never speak or act the way my fellow citizens did. I wanted to go up and speak, and let the council know that the people speaking were a minority in our community, not a majority. I was embarrassed to be associated with those people. I would like to end with saying not all of us have such little respect for people. I wish to apologize for those particular citizens – we are not all like that. Victoria McMillan

Public management more efficient?

In the March 31 edition of The News, there is an open letter from our mayor and council to the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) B.C. Regional Office. CUPE – or anyone reading the city’s letter – is supposed to feel assured because “... only the design of the treatment plant, the financing for the project, the building of the facilities and the operation and maintenance of the plant would be available as opportunities for private business partners.” However, “only, etc.” isn’t

quite the whole story. I was in the audience the afternoon Deloitte presented to council. Transmission pipes are also on the table – very expensive transmission pipes that have to cross the Fraser to get water to Abbotsford. As for the financing, even with a private partner, taxpayers will have the privilege of providing the bulk of the funds required. That’s what the referendum in November is all about. Back to the open letter. Referring to the Abbotsford Mission Water Sewer

Commission, we read: “The AMWSC will closely oversee the operation of the plant ...” Interesting switch from “would” to “will” – the former allowing for some flexibility in negotiations, the latter sounding much more like a done deal. Oh yes, two very interesting figures surfaced during the Deloitte presentation. If our city operated the treatment plant, the annual cost would be $1,305,883. The annual cost of a P3 operating the plant would be

$2,092,392. Both figures are in today’s dollars. Are we being told that public management can be more fiscally efficient than private control? So it appears – the difference being almost 20 million dollars over a 25-year contract. Gee, that sounds like the shareholders of a private company would actually want to make a profit on our water. Go figure. Regina Dalton

Tired of blowhard political attack ads

I am tired of all these parties thinking the best way to get a vote is slamming the other parties. Please take the high road when it comes to advertising. It is easy to slam someone else.

We teach our children not to name-call others. We train our sales reps that when they are out prospecting not to belittle the competition but rather focus on the values and benefits that our

company can bring to the customer. We get nowhere trying to belittle the competition. Yet here are the supposed leaders in our country simply belittling the other party leaders.

You may not agree with all their policies, but each one of the parties truly believe that they have the best interest in Canada. I don’t really care if no one speaks for the Liberal party but Iggy, because at the end of

the day, no one speaks for the Conservative party but Mr. Harper or for the NDP than Jack Layton. I have yet to see any party allow their members to vote their conscience as opposed to holding the party line.

Also, stop making us think that we are so naive to think that no other party would spend money on the protection of our country and not spend any money on military equipment. Let the other parties

use negative attack ads and concentrate on telling Canadians what you will do as a party if elected in your ads. I know who I am voting for, but I know many who are undecided, and are tired of the blowhard ads of negative attack. Someone out there, please take the high road and you may just be surprised to find your leader on Sussex Drive. Neal Diamond

Destroying democratic vote

Thousands of volunteers. Hundreds of neighbourhoods.

Even a small change can help change our world. Together, we can make a huge impact. Throughout April, thousands of Starbucks customers and partners will participate in community service projects all over the world as part of the Global Month of Service. You can too. Join the movement. Join us in supporting Roots and Shoots by cleaning up waterways in your community on Sunday, April 10th from Whiterock to Cranbrook. Visit Starbucks.com/community or your local Starbucks to find out how easy it is to get involved.

RE: Announcement by Attorney Gen. Barry Penner, who stated that the provincial Liberal cabinet is moving ahead with a mail-in vote on whether to scrap the HST. Generally speaking, mail-in voting – or worse, online voting – is the first step on a climb to the destruction of democratic voting for citizens, which should always be done in a public area operated by Electons Canada or other government group. Otherwise, an individual’s vote may be pressured by various sitiuations such as where you work, who is gathering up the ballots to be mailed, and also in private households where one person may take charge of the ballots. Yes, mail-ins or online voting may save some money but at what real cost? Perhaps lowering some costs in over-paid areas elsewhere would be a much better decision than to destroy citizens’ privacy to vote. Lila Rauh

Auction collects $115,000 for Sudan Foodgrains Bank fundraiser The recent Make a Difference Sale in Abbotsford raised more than $115,000 for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. The annual fundraising auction is organized by volunteers, and has raised more than $1 million in the last decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite the event. We have strong support from the community, and people generously donate cattle and other items to be auctioned off,â&#x20AC;? said Clarence Tuin, who, together with his wife Jenny, serves as voluntary coordinator for Canadian Foodgrains Bank in B.C. McClary Stockyard in Abbotsford hosts the auction free of charge. Items up for grabs are varied and include floral bouquets, kayaks, food products, fishing trips and beef and dairy animals. David McClary, who owns the yard with his mom Sheila and brother Jono, served as auctioneer for the six-hour event, held on March 24.

Candidates open doors Two federal election candidates will host open houses this week. Abbotsford Liberal candidate Madeleine Hardin is hosting a grand opening of her office on Friday, April 8 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at 2617 Montrose Ave. (north of Essendene). Everyone is invited.

A fundraising auction at McClary Stockyards in Abbotsford is one of three such annual events for the Foodgrains Bank. This year, the biggest selling item was a hockey jersey from Alex Burrows of the Vancouver Canucks. A pair of brothers bought the item for $1,450.

Funds raised at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sale will be used to help people in Sudan, where many people struggle with basic needs, including access to long-term food sources.

The Make a Difference Sale is one of three annual auctions held for the Foodgrains Bank. The other two are held in Ponaka, Alta. and Osler, Sask.

teer resources. “We couldn’t thrive without them.” At the BC SPCA’s Abbotsford Branch, which cared for 1,679 animals last year, volunteers regularly lend their talents both for and on behalf of animals. Volunteers walk dogs, foster kittens, cuddle cats, clean animal habitats, fundraise, organize special events, create promotional materials and perform dozens of other tasks to protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C. According to Volunteer Canada, 11.8 million Canadians volunteer to help others, contributing almost two billion volunteer hours per year.

Late goal deals Heat’s playoff hopes a huge blow Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

There are losses, there are tough losses, and then there are losses that make you feel like you’ve been punched square in the gut by a young Mike Tyson. The Abbotsford Heat’s 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Hamilton Bulldogs on Tuesday evening was the latter. In their final regular-season game of the year at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, the Heat fell behind on Nigel Dawes’s penalty shot goal at 11:32 of the first period. The scoring-challenged Abbotsford squad battled tooth and nail to generate an equalizer, and finally got it when Ryan Stone tipped in Quintin Laing’s wrist shot from the blue line with just 4:43 remaining in the third period. But exactly a minute later, Bulldogs defenceman Kyle Klubertanz broke the Heat’s collective heart when he waltzed in from the blue line and flicked a cheeky backhander over Abby goalie Leland Irving’s blocker and under the crossbar. “At this time of the year, with all that’s at stake, it really kills for that to happen,” Heat

forward Jon Rheault observed afterward. “Especially when we clawed our way back – and we’re really proud of the way we did that. But any little mistake right now is our life.” Indeed, the defeat represents a devastating blow to the Heat’s post-season hopes. A victory would have moved Abbotsford to within a point of the Oklahoma City Barons for the Western Conference’s crossover playoff spot. As it stands, the Heat (37-30-4-6, 84 points) remain three points back of OKC with three games left in the regular season. Making matters worse, they must not only catch the Barons, they also have to hurdle the Chicago Wolves (86 points) and San Antonio Rampage (85 points) to punch their playoff ticket. The Heat hit the road for the last three games of the regular season – Friday at Grand Rapids, Saturday at Lake Erie, and Sunday at Toronto. “We’ve got to win out here to give ourselves a chance,” Rheault said, succinctly pointing out the corner the Heat have been painted into. “I know we’ll bounce back from this.” For more coverage, visit abbynews.com

Soccer star bound for UBC Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

It’s awfully hard to find a hole in Nikki Segovia’s resumé, athletic or otherwise. On the soccer pitch, the 18-year-old Abbotsford native has succeeded at every level. She won a trio of provincial titles during her early teenage years with her club team, Surrey Pegasus. She helped Team B.C. to a national U14 championship. She’s been identified as a national pool player by the Canadian Soccer Association at the U16 level. Most recently, she’s trained with the prestigious Vancouver Whitecaps residency program, and landed a soccer scholarship from UBC. How Segovia managed to accomplish all of that while maintaining honour roll marks throughout her four years at Yale

JOHN VAN PUTTEN

Abbotsford News

Yale Secondary senior Nikki Segovia, a member of the Vancouver Whitecaps residency program, is set to join the UBC women’s soccer team in the fall. Secondary is somewhat mind-boggling. Consider her senioryear schedule. After classes during the day at Yale, Segovia hops in the car and drives to Burnaby for a two-hour training session with the Whitecaps at Simon Fraser University.

Then it’s back home to Abbotsford to attack a mountain of homework, and perhaps maintain relationships with her friends if she has some spare time. “No one really understands, when you play at this kind of level, what your

lifestyle’s like,” Segovia noted with a wry grin. “When I come home I’m pretty exhausted.” The scholarship from UBC is the payoff for all that hard work, but oddly enough, Segovia never pictured herself Continued on A27

Lofty goals lead to national trip for Nakano Olympians swimmer, age 11, excels in butterfly Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

JOHN VAN PUTTEN

Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Olympians swimmer Robyn Nakano qualified for nationals by trimming nearly eight seconds off her personal best time in the 200-metre butterfly.

Robyn Nakano is headed to swimming nationals, and it’s a tribute to her lofty goalsetting. About a week before the recent AAA provincial swim championships in Victoria, Nakano sat down with her mother and said, out of the blue, that she wanted to achieve a national age-class qualifying time in the 200metre butterfly. The Grade 6 student at Chief Dan George Middle School got the job done, clocking a time

of 2:40.36 to shave nearly eight seconds off her previous personal best. She’ll compete in the 11-and-under division at nationals. “She set her goals out, what she wanted to achieve, and she went and did it,” marveled Adrienne Goodey, Nakano’s coach with the Abbotsford Olympians swim club. Nakano’s gold medal in the 200m fly was just the beginning of a tremendous series of performances at provincials. She also won gold in the 100m fly and the 200m individual medley relay, as well as a bronze in

the 200m backstroke. The fly, particularly for young swimmers, is a tough stroke to master, but Nakano said it’s become a “natural motion” for her. “It’s definitely harder than a lot of other strokes, because you have to pull more water,” she said. “But it’s become my best stroke.” The Olympians swim club’s registration is ongoing, and they are currently offering a free month to new members. Call 604-825-1856 or visit abbotsfordolympians.com for more information.

Museum. The three shows being unveiled next week are: Man Turned to Stone: T’xwelatse; Betty Goodwin: Darkness and Memory; and Our Communities Our Stories: Sikh Pioneers – 100 Years of Immigration, Integration and Identity. The exhibits run from Thursday, April 14 to Sunday, May 29 at The Reach, 32388 Veterans Way. According to curator Scott Marsden, it’s more than just a display. “It’s heritage and visual art, and how it blends together.” One of the reasons they combined the three shows was to attract a cross section of the community: Stó:lo people, contemporary art lovers and Sikhs.

the works of Betty Goodwin will be showcased at the Reach – the only B.C. museum to host the travelling exhibition. Betty Goodwin: Darkness and Memory will feature more than 30 works by Goodwin, drawn from the permanent collection at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. “She broke the mold and set some national standards,” said Marsden. “She laid the foundation for a lot of contemporary art practise.” He described her work as versatile, as she utilized numerous raw materials, including tar, tarpaulin, steel rods and tiles.
