As the temperatures dropped, so did an 18-year-old record. Friday morning’s low of -9.1 degrees Celsius broke Abbotsford’s old mark of -7.3 set in 1993. Environment Canada said another record could be broken early this morning (Saturday). The lowest temperature for Feb. 26 is -7.1, also set in 1993. Dave Murray, organizer of Abbotsford’s Extreme Weather Program, said an average of between 30-50 people a night are staying at three centres – the Salvation Army, Cyrus Centre and the Sevenoaks Alliance Church. There is capacity to handle more than 70 homeless people looking for shelter from the elements.

Marijuana grow operations (Grow Ops) are a threat to public safety and often disrupt peaceful, residential neighbourhoods. Bylaw Enforcement Of¿cers, Building Inspectors and Fire Prevention Inspectors work with the Abbotsford community to locate Grow Ops and resolve safety issues such as faulty wiring and other building de¿ciencies. Ensuring safe neighborhoods for our children and families is everyone’s responsibility. The City relies on concerned citizens to provide tips on properties of interest. Indicators that there might be a Grow Op are: • minimal furniture and belongings moved in; • minimal garbage outside on garbage days; • numerous pots, fertilizer and other building supplies; • construction sounds; • bright lights; • excessive condensation on windows;

• regular power surges; • unusual sounds (humming fans, trickling water); • strange odours; • abnormally warm buildings. Who to Call: If you recognize any of these signs and suspect a Grow Op in your neighborhood, contact Bylaw Enforcement at 604-864-5512 or growoptips@abbotsford.ca.

Violence drops 30% Multiple murders sent message Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Abbotsford saw a 21 per cent drop in overall youth crime from 2009 to 2010, according to the most recent figures released by the Abbotsford Police Department. This has been the most dramatic decrease locally in the last four years, and a more significant reduction than what is occurring nationally. In Abbotsford, there were a total of 548, 558 and 550 youth crimes in 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively. Last year, the number dropped to 433. National youth crime figures are not yet available for 2010, but the stats from 2008-09 show decreases of anywhere from one to six per cent, depending on the type

choices,” he said. MacDonald said Abbotsford teens have been an integral part of the community’s response to gang violence, particularly following the turmoil that occurred in 2009. There were 11 murders that year, with eight of them being linked to organized crime. The first four involved young people. Ryan “Whitey” Richards, 19, was found in a field behind a produce store on the Abbotsford/ Chilliwack border; Sean “Smurph” Murphy, 21, was found shot to death behind the wheel of a car in Bateman Park: and W.J.

SCHOOL UNIFORM VOTE LOWERED TO 66% The Abbotsford board of education has reduced the percentage of favourable votes that schools require to implement student uniforms. Schools must hold a referendum when parents or the Parents’ Advisory Council are interested in making the change. Previously, 75 per cent approval was required. Now, 66 per cent is needed. Trustees said they made the change as a request from parents whose children attend school in west Abbotsford, where there is growing interest in uniforms and dress codes.

ARENA WALKING An average of 40 walkers a day are taking advantage of the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre’s new walking program. Jason Blumenfeld, general manager of the facility, said 675 participants have signed up to walk around the concourse (5.5 laps equals one mile or 1.6 km) on a drop-in basis. The activity is free but guests are asked to sign in at Guest Services located in section 103. Walking hours are Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. but times are subject to change.

The trial of an Abbotsford Catholic school teacher accused of sending suggestive text messages to a student has been adjourned until May 24. The closing submissions in the case of Martin Careen will be presented that day in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. The judge is likely to reserve his decision. Careen was charged with invitation to sexual touching in relation to messages sent in January 2009 when he was a teacher at St. John Brebeuf Regional Secondary.

Critics have questioned the timing, considering the recent 4.3 per cent municipal tax increase, civic service cuts, and millions of dollars needed for infrastructure projects including a new water system. “When you pay for public art, at least you get something for the money you spend,” said Friesen. It’s not conceptual like money spent on consulting fees each year, Friesen said, maintaining the public will eventually come to peace with an initiative that is intended to beautify the community. “The arts have been off the radar for so long. Now that it’s back on the radar, there are some growing pains,” said

Friesen. The full effect of public art won’t be felt for several years. “It’s one piece. You need several pieces to tell a story ... I want to see more public art, not less,” said Friesen. Three more public art pieces are being planned, at the Clearbook interchange, the new west Abbotsford fire hall and the public library at Abbotsford Collegiate school. “Money invested into public parks seems to be more accepted than money into culture – but both are equally important,” said Suzanne Greening, executive director of the Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford. She remembers an old saying about cities focusing on the three Ps – pipes, pavement and police – rather than culture. “It’s an education process. Investing in culture requires educating the politicians, city officials and the public.” Other B.C. cities have a strong public art presence, she said, citing Vancouver, Victoria and Richmond as examples of successful cultural initiatives that promote public art. “They all had to start somewhere. And that’s where we are now. We are just starting,” said Greening. In 2004, the city identified public art policies as a key component of a healthy city in its arts and heritage master plan. In 2006, the Arts and Heritage Advisory Committee was established to begin creating a public art program, and it studied the policies of other municipalities. In 2009, the Crime Reduction Task Force included public art as an important component of the City Beautification Strategy, referring to civic pride and community ownership. In 2010, the Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission approved recommendations in a public art policy report.

First intercultural hub

The first intercultural hub in Abbotsford was launched on Wednesday afternoon at the Matsqui Recreation Centre. The hub is a room dedicated for residents, from any background, to use for cultural education, interfaith learning, networking and other programs.. “It’s another effort to try and get people from different backgrounds talking to each other, meeting and realizing that there is far more that unites them than divides them,” said Abbotsford Mayor George Peary. The hub is part of the city’s Building Connections program, a three-year project aimed at creating links between different cultural and faith groups. Funded by the federal government (Abbotsford received $434,000), the program features four partners, the city, School District #34, Abbotsford Community Services and the University of the Fraser Valley. “The city is committed to diversity.

our workforce to reflect the people we’re serving and we want to make sure the immigrants, when they come here, feel welcome and are given an opportunity to participate in this great city and enjoy the opportunities,” said Peary. Still in its first year, the project has established several goals, including: Q A pilot project twinning two schools, Clearbrook Elementary and Sandy Hill Elementary, whose students are now pen pals, and teaching principals, staff and parent advisory councils about diversity awareness. Q Initiating talks regarding twinning Northview Church with Gudwara Sahib Khalgidhar Darbar.

Raw milk crackdown on hold Black Press

Health inspectors won’t launch any new crackdown of a controversial Chilliwack dairy farm while its founder pursues a court challenge that aims to legalize consumption of raw milk. Alice Jongerden appeared in B.C. Supreme Court Feb. 18 to try to overturn a March 2010 court order that barred her from producing and packaging unpasteurized dairy products.

The court found Jongerden’s constitutional challenge should target the provincial government rather than Fraser Health. Jongerden’s lawyer, Jason Gratl, has now refiled the challenge against the Attorney General, alleging B.C.’s Public Health Act banning raw milk production as a public health hazard violates her constitutional right to liberty and security of the person and that penalties of up to three years jail and fines of $3 million are

far too harsh. Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward said the authority will take no further enforcement action against the current farm operator until Jongerden’s challenge is ultimately decided in court. Jongerden last fall turned over the operation of her dairy farm to an Ontario raw milk advocate in order to avoid contempt-ofcourt penalties. She intends to resume operations as a cow-sharing co-op.

If this gets approved I say the city should double its take to 20 per cent. Obviously this company is making money hand over ﬁst and can afford it. They seem to have an endless parade of fools willing to part with their money. Robert

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Do you approve of civic spending on public art at this time?

Abbotsford has been bullied for decades by the same groups of people, who insist on pushing their beliefs on everyone. They have taken away the arcades, the nightclubs, opposed youth centres, even tried to dictate what newspapers the library can offer. Many people enjoy the casino. If you do not, no one is making you go there. By the same token, you have no right to deny someone else from making that choice for themselves as well. ollyollyoxenfree

What makes a good woman, according to men Andrew

Holota

On Point The past couple of columns in this corner have related to relationships, including ‘the things that make a good man, according to women.’ The next obvious instalment in the series is, “What makes a good woman, according to men?” Initially, I was reluctant to tread this path, anticipating the futility of getting any responses I could actually publish. Call me foolish, but I proceeded anyway. Predictably, I got the wolﬁsh “heh heh heh,” reaction, but when pressed, my male subjects managed to create a catalogue of favourable female characteristics. One guy liked the fact that his wife laughs at his jokes. She humours his humour, so to speak.

Another respondent said a good woman is one who doesn’t try to understand him. He does not want to explain why he so loves hockey, nor, more than likely, can he. Me, I’m the opposite. I appreciate the fact that my wife, for the most part, understands me. Mind you, some of my friends might say, “Pfft, what’s to understand?” Hey, who asked you, anyway? One man had this to offer on the subject of female goodness: “How should I know, I’m divorced!” However, when pressed to come up with at least one example, he said it would be a woman who would stick by him, even if he was wrong. I have to guess that wasn’t his ex-wife. However, at least he knows what he’s looking for. (All the best with that.) Being a good mom came up frequently in my research, with varying deﬁnitions, the most rudimentary being “keeping the kids out of my hair.” Now there’s a man who has not fully grasped the concept of “equality,”

which was something that ranked high on the female radar. One poll subject I hit up for “good woman” suggestions rubbed his chin, and after a long pause, said “Hmm, I’m coming up with a blank.” Really? There’s a guy who’s easy to please! And yes, ladies, he’s already taken. Little wonder.

When pressed, my male subjects managed to create a catalogue of favourable female characteristics. By contrast, it wasn’t difﬁcult for a buddy to reel off a laundry list of his “good woman” criteria, such as being attractive, intelligent, and willing to let him do stuff – like go out and play with the boys. Lucky lad actually found a woman like that, too.

The next respondent identiﬁed a common male lament. Communication. No, not the woman-talks/manlistens-without-offering-advice thing. This is the “would you please tell me what it is you want me to know, so I don’t have to keep guessing” type of communication. Men like women who tell it like it is. Don’t hint. Don’t pout. Just out with it. That way we can cut right to the next part – forgiveness. A forgiving nature is important in a good woman. That, and a short memory. Forgetting how much you’ve forgiven is very good. So is shortsightedness. Not visually, of course. More in the sense of being able to overlook our male eccentricities and behaviour. After all, we won’t change. Ask any veteran wife of 20-plus years. She may have achieved some tolerable level of compliance on household and relationship rules, but down at the core, “boys will be boys.” It’s in our genes. Which, by the way, could you please wash?

the class time.” Why wouldn’t they be? On paper, the total amount of instructional minutes remain unchanged, but in the real world, adding three minutes a day is not the same as having five full days of education. Of course his children are happy with those three minutes – they are likely being used to tidy up classrooms and to get the children ready to leave for the day – three minutes a day does not have any real instructional value. Mr. Jorgensen seems to feel that all policy matters should be decided

by consultation with parents, and to disagree with the stated opinions of some indicates that the trustees lack respect. It is my opinion that too many decisions are left open to endless debate, in many instances resulting in no effective changes. He also seems to feel that dissent indicates that people are questioning his intelligence. Not agreeing with you doesn’t mean we believe you are unintelligent; it means we believe you are wrong.

Negativity almost impossible to reverse I support and have contributed to public art in Abbotsford, and I personally collect First Nations art. I am also related to a First Nations artist. However, this specific piece of public art should have been paid for out of the McCallum overpass stimulus project funding, as it has been repeatedly reported by Abbotsford staff and the Abbotsford News to be com-

pleted under budget. Obviously, this beautiful and culturally appropriate work of art was commissioned a long time ago. How did the city plan to pay for it when it was commissioned? Which budget was it supposed to come from? The way that this has been contrived as support for the arts by council is an insult to the taxpayers of Abbotsford

and the Sto:lo artist. This particular “first” purchase of public art has caused a negative response from taxpayers which will be almost impossible to reverse. What a shame, when we need to be encouraging the community to support the arts for so many great reasons. If council would “get it,” the arts could become an economic driver in Abbotsford,

as we have an abundance of exceptional artists. I am also disappointed that the call for interested artists was not done through our long-standing and hard-working Abbotsford Arts Council who, by the way, supported all of Plan A including the Money Pit (aka AESC) on King Road. Lynn Perrin

Drug-free building laudable but laughable Re: Editorial, “An important project,” Feb. 22. After reading this editorial and also the piece, “Building a foundation,” a number of words come to mind, such as credulity, gullible, naivety or selfdelusion. The articles refer to the 84-unit apartment building restricted to women and children to be operated by the Women’s

Resource Society. Their claim that this building will be a “alcohol- and drug-free environment” is laudable, but laughable. Given the fact prisons are unable to keep their well-secured facilities drugfree, how is this possible for an 84-unit building not surrounded by razor wire? How does the charter of rights and freedoms view a “women only” facility,

Not smarter than a fifth grader The federal government is running deficits like never before. Some of the reasons are buying unneeded military hardware, such as a very expensive attack bomber ( which they call a fighter plane.) This type of aircraft is for attacking a country that may be attacking us. It would be used for helping

the U.S. with their invasions, and be useless for fighting terrorism. It seems like this government is not smarter than a fifth grader in managing money. They are reducing taxes on the rich while increasing taxes on the middle class and poor. Cornelius Bergen

No instructional value in three minutes I am one of the many parents who stand in opposition to (letter-writer) Mr. Jorgensen on the issue of the twoweek spring break that currently runs in mid-March. He wants it to continue “as it has for many years.” My recollection is that it was instituted five or maybe six years ago. Many parents seem to feel that no real teaching time has been lost. It is certainly true that many of the children, Mr. Jorgensen’s included, are happy to “put in those extra few minutes every day all year to make up

and will men be allowed on the premises even to visit? Even with an airport-style pat-down security system, this facility is going to evolve into a bureaucratic, ever-increasing drag upon the taxpayer. This 84-unit project is much different than the usual 12 bed units currently being run. Good luck! T.B. Mortimer

A lot of money for art I want to comment on the art piece at the McCallum Road roundabout. First of all, that is a lot of money to spend on a piece of art, when we should be looking at saving money. It is a distraction for drivers, and thus becomes a safety issue. Cell phones are banned, appar-

ently eating while driving is also being considered as a distraction. I think this is a waste of taxpayers’ money. This is not the place for this type of structure. I sure hope the Clearbrook Road roundabout does not get one. Judy Prachnau

Money Minute We all barely get a reprieve from the holiday season and now it is time to start thinking about RRSPs and the contribution deadline of March 1, 2011. RRSPs (Registered Retirement Savings Plans), were established so that those who did not have a company or public pension could save for retirement. To encourage Canadians to save in RRSPs there are a couple of incentives attached. First, for every dollar that you contribute you receive a deduction from your income for calculating taxes up to certain limits. The limit for contributions to an RRSP in 2010 is the lesser of: 18% of your previous year’s earned income and $22,000. If your income was $60,000 for the year, and you placed $10,000 into an RRSP you defer about $4,000 in taxes assuming a 40% tax rate at that income level. The second advantage that an RRSP has is that any income or growth in the portfolio does so, on a tax deferred basis, but when any money comes out of any Registered Plan, it is taxed as income to the owner.

Abby victim loses $9,000

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;grandparents scamâ&#x20AC;? has resurfaced in Abbotsford, resulting in a 73-year-old man losing $9,000 this month. Const. Ian MacDonald said the Abbotsford Police Department has also received several emails from people concerned that their elderly parents, some in care homes, have received calls from the culprits. The scam usually involves a caller posing as a lawyer, saying he is phoning on behalf of a relative who is in trouble with the law and requires bail money or cash for legal fees. In some cases, the caller then transfers the phone to another person, who poses as the relative. They often relate names or personal data to the victim â&#x20AC;&#x201C; information that they have obtained by scouring obituaries or social networking sites. They then ask for money to be wired to them immediately. In the recent case, the victim sent amounts of $4,000 and $5,000 in separate transactions. The scam was active in Abbotsford last summer, resulting in four local women losing from about $2,000 to $4,800 each. They were all instructed to wire money through Western Union to Montreal. The women discovered they had been defrauded after speaking with the family members they thought they had been helping. MacDonald reminds people to be cautious about the personal information they post online and to avoid sending any money until details can be double-checked with family members. Anyone with information is asked to call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225.

Transit hours increased Five buses, 11,700 hours of service, starting in July

THE 9TH ANNUAL

Kevin MILLS

FRASER VALLEY

Abbotsford News

Abbotsford is beefing up its transit system by an extra 3,000 hours. The increase is in addition to the previously approved upgrade of 8,700 hours of service. Originally, Abbotsford’s portion of the Central Fraser Valley Transit System was to expand in March 2011. The expansion would include four new buses and provide earlier service to Abbotsford Regional Hospital, improved service to the University of the Fraser Valley, earlier access to Route #31 (the valley connector to Mission and the West Coast Express) and provide Sunday level service on all statutory holidays. That expansion has been delayed, now that BC Transit has provided another 3,000 hours, and one additional bus, bringing the total increase in service to 11,700 hours and five buses. City manager Frank Pizzuto said the original 8,700 hour increase (costing $338,000) was already in the 2011 budget, but the opportunity for an additional 3,000 hours (at a cost of an additional $116,000) came as a surprise. In order to take advantage of the increased time, the expansion has been pushed back to July. Running the new service hours for half the year cuts the total 2011 cost in half. “By delaying the expansion, we can fit the cost in the budget,” said Pizzuto. The expansion will cost the city $227,000 in 2011 and $454,000 in 2012. The city has been working with BC Transit to

optimize service and improve routes to promote transit use. “Transit is not at the level we want it to be. This is a good first step,” said Pizzuto. The increased hours of operation, especially in high traffic areas, was on the top of the wish list for the Mission Abbotsford Transit Commission. “This will make a huge difference in our community for transit service,” said Coun. Lynne Harris, vice-chair of the commission.

Question: I find that my eyes are looking tired all the time. The skin under my eyes has thinned out and I have lots of fine lines developing …what can I do to improve my appearance without undergoing surgery? Natalie, Abbotsford Answer: There are many options available to improve the ‘tired look’. Eye Thermage improves skin tone and texture while effectively tightening and contouring the skin for an overall younger appearance. Results are long lasting, subtle and improve over time.

Banana loaf helps to build orphanage Kerrie-Ann SCHOENIT Abbotsford News

Barb Giraud spends countless hours every week baking dozens of banana loaves. It’s all for a project called Jaaja Barb’s House of Angels. During a visit to Uganda last year, Giraud fell in love with the people there. She was particularly inspired by a 23-yearold man named Edwin, who is helping children who live on the street in Jinja, Uganda and spend their days scavenging for food in local dumps. His goal is to build a home for youngsters, on land donated to him by a family member. All he needed was a sponsor. “You get a dream and

you just go for it and fight,” said Giraud. Over the last nine months, she’s made about 1,500 loaves and raised $5,000. All the money she earns through her banana bread sales goes into a joint account with Edwin. Every night he calls Giraud, who he calls Jaaja, which is Luganden for grandmother, on Skype. He gives her daily updates on the project. Edwin and his friends are putting the finishing touches on the four-room facility that will house 32 orphans. However, bunk beds still need to be purchased and a well drilled. Children currently walk six kilometres to a swamp where they fill jerry cans with water. Another building also needs to be constructed for the aunties who will care for the children, and humanitarian aid groups that travel overseas. The facility will have a wing for visitors that is equipped with a small kitchen, shower and flush toilet. After Giraud’s story recently received TV media coverage, dona-

Barb Giraud prepares batter for another of her fundraising banana loaves. tions and letters of support from across the country have been pouring in. She currently has a back order for 450 of the $10 loaves. “It unbelievable,” she said. “People’s hearts are huge. It motivates me to the point that I will never give up.” Giraud works fulltime and teaches English at night, making it difficult to keep up with the demand. Trinity

Memorial United Church in Abbotsford has offered her the use of its commercial-size kitchen, but Giraud said she could use more help. She needs ingredients for the banana bread as well as assistance delivering loaves. Giraud is travelling to Uganda in April to see the orphanage for the first time. For information or to donate, contact Giraud at jaajabarbshomeofangels@gmail.com.

the fraser valley’s law firm since 1937

The Positive Living Fraser Valley Society hosts Dr. Julio Montaner next month to discuss growing concerns about HIV prevention and treatment in the region. The past-president of the International AIDS Society and current director of the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS will speak about Abbotsford’s harm-reduction zoning bylaw which is currently being reconsidered by city council. He will be joined on stage by Irene Day, the centre’s director of operations. Montaner played a key role in pioneering the Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART), the drug cocktail that has been adopted in Canada and around the world as the gold standard treatment for HIV/AIDS. The number of newly-positive HIV cases in the Fraser East area (which is part of the Fraser Health Authority and includes Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Hope and Agassiz) from 2005-2008 fluctuated between 6.5 and 2.5 cases per 100,000, but these numbers only reflect those who have been tested. Statistics also show the regional percentage of new HIV cases that are attributable to heterosexual transmission has risen from 13.4 per cent in 1996 to 42.1 per cent in 2007. Transmission percentages for homosexual men is also on the rise, almost tripling since 1999, to 31.6 per cent in 2007. Positive Living Fraser Valley Society launches a new, expanded website on March 1 at www. plfv.org. The forum on March 16 runs from 1:30-4 p.m. at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way. Admission is free and no reservation is required.

‘Effectively, a new airport’

Neil CORBETT

Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford International Airport has been refurbished under the federal government’s economic stimulus plan, as $30 million in funding has been stretched to cover more projects than budgeted. “Effectively, we’ve got a new airport,” said general manager

Mike Pastro. “Every surface an aircraft would operate on is either new or in excellent condition.” The original plan submitted to Ottawa was to spend $30 million for a taxiway parallel to the main runway to allow more aircraft traffic, a wider main apron for more parking space for planes, and

Public Consultation for Proposed Community Amenity Projects

Leah’s work experience in the design field is extensive. Since 2001 she has been involved in a number of custom home builds, renovations, multiresidential projects and commercial spaces. Her training includes over 350 hours of instruction in various areas of design. Her background also includes working with Benjamin Moore’s Clearbrook Decorating Center, where she honed her skills for color selection and in home consulting.

The District is proposing a 30-year program to construct certain community facilities or amenities, in order to service a growing population and create a more complete community. We are seeking public input on this important program.

Whether you are building new, renovating your existing space, or just looking to spruce up your home with some style and accessories, Leah is here to assist you find your sense of style and distinction.

On March 3, 2011, there will be a special council meeting in the gymnasium at the Leisure Centre (7650 Grand Street) starting at 6:30 pm, where at members of the public and the development community can learn more about the proposed program and provide input and ideas to council and staff.

but instead the city received approval to spend approximately $10 million on more upgrades, including runway and taxiway paving; terminal renovations; and a service road around the airport. Pastro noted these upgrades had been on the airport’s longterm capital plan, and were not “make-work projects.” Abbotsford MP Ed Fast, all three MLAs and municipal politicians were on hand for a Thursday morning press conference announcing the new projects. The city is planning a gala opening and celebration at the airport in June.

Extra day in jail for assault Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford man has been sentenced to an additional day in jail and 18 months’ probation, while charges were stayed for his co-accused in relation to an assault on Dec. 2. Craig Kenneth Morris, 41, was given credit for the 60 days he has already served in prison. He pleaded guilty to assault and uttering threats, while charges of assault with a weapon, using a firearm, forcible confinement and sexual assault were stayed. Charges of unlawful confinement, use of a firearm and assault were stayed against Malinda Hewlett, 29. The two were charged after an incident on Dec. 2 in an apartment in the 2400 block of Countess Street. A woman said she had been confined and threatened by a man she had known for only a few days. The victim, 37, said the man had become violent and used a gun to threaten her, and then called another woman to the scene. The victim was able to escape and run to the door of an apartment building, where she buzzed several residences until someone answered and alerted police.

Linda Anderson knows graduation can be a huge expense for families. There are event tickets, pictures and formal wear. A prom dress can cost upwards of $200. That’s why Anderson has created Talia’s Closet, in partnership with Abbotsford Community Services. The project strives to alleviate some of the financial stress associated with graduation by acquiring new or gently-worn classic and vintagestyle gowns and accessories for local grads. “I could feel that the community had a huge need due to economic circumstances,” said Anderson, volunteer project coordinator. “It would be an honour just to be able to help (these girls) so they don’t feel inferior.” Anderson has collected about 15 prom dresses over the past two years, in a range of sizes and colours. She also has a selection of shoes, handJOHN VAN PUTTEN Abbotsford News bags and costume jewelry.

This will allow Anderson to canvass for more donations and offer a larger selection. She also hopes to eventually partner with dry cleaners in Abbotsford, and find a volunteer seamstress to provide minor alternations, such as hemming.

Psychic Reader and Advisor Facial recognition technology has resulted in 600 driver’s licence fraud investigations.

Facial analysis unveils licence fraudsters Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Facial recognition technology is helping ICBC bust identity thieves who try to gain driver’s licences – sometimes to dodge driving bans and in other cases to illegally stay in Canada. The public auto insurer compares a card holder’s image with their existing image on file and millions of others in the database. The system analyzes fixed facial features, such as cheekbone size and location and distance between eyes. More than 600 cases have been sent to ICBC’s fraud investigators since the technology was adopted two years ago. “Facial recognition technology has taken us to a new level in protecting our customers,” ICBC driver licensing vice-president Fred Hess said. The facial recognition technology last year helped detect Surrey resident Sandeep Dhillon, who applied for a new licence in Richmond under the identity of another man, Jatinder Kumar. Federal authorities determined Dhillon was an illegal immigrant who had previously been deported for organized crime activity. He was arrested and deported again in December. Another man in Nanaimo got a bogus licence in the name of a dead man to dodge his criminal record, parole restrictions and unpaid debt to ICBC. He pleaded guilty in December and was fined $5,000. That case was flagged because the same face was found connected to two different licences. Another case in Kelowna saw a woman caught trying to get a licence in her sister’s name after losing her licence for impaired driving. Even cases where identities were assumed long ago are now being uncovered. A Penticton man had for 15 years used the identity of a boy who died at age five in 1969 before the new system detected his fraud, which allowed him to dodge his criminal record and collect welfare while working. He was ordered to pay $13,000 in restitution.

Trio assigned to ECHL; Kotalik clears waivers

Freeman’s three-bomb stuns Spartans Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Heat trimmed their roster on Thursday, sending a trio of players to the ECHL. Bryan Cameron is hopping on a ferry to join the Victoria Salmon Kings, while Josh Meyers and Ryley Grantham are the newest members of the Utah Grizzlies. Cameron, the top goal-scorer in all of Canadian junior hockey last season, was toiling on the Heat’s fourth line prior to his re-assignment. Head coach Jim Playfair said the rookie winger needs to be in a scoring role in order to be an effective AHL player, and he’ll have the opportunity to earn top-six minutes with the Salmon Kings. “I didn’t have him in the proper position to develop his greatest strength, but the way our team is structured and the way it’s set up, that’s the position he was put into,” Playfair said. “I think this’ll be a good experience for him, to go down there and get his offensive confidence back.” Meyers’ demotion is a direct result of fellow blueliner John Negrin’s return to fitness after knee surgery. “In order for him to get to where he wants to be as a pro, he’s got to play more,” Playfair said of Meyers. “We know that to get deep into the playoffs, you need eight defencemen, maybe nine. He’ll get some good quality minutes down there, he’ll play a lot, and he’ll be ready to come back.” In terms of healthy players, the moves leave the Heat with 13 forwards, seven defencemen and two goalies.

Abbotsford Heat forward Bryan Cameron (left) was one of three players re-assigned to the ECHL on Thursday. agreement, Ales Kotalik is flying from Abbotsford to Calgary and back again over a 24-hour span. The Calgary Flames placed Kotalik on re-entry waivers on Wednesday, a move which would have allowed another NHL club to pick him up, with the Flames continuing to pay half his salary. Kotalik cleared re-entry waivers on Thursday morning, meaning he had to catch a flight to Calgary in the afternoon before the Flames officially re-assign him to Abbotsford on Friday. Playfair said that Kotalik will be back in time for the morning skate prior to Friday’s date between the Heat and Providence

Bruins (7 p.m., Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre). “Those are the rules of the business,” Playfair said with a shrug. Q Last year, the Flames made a deadline-day deal with the Heat in mind, sending winger Riley Armstrong to the Detroit Red Wings organization for blueliner Andy Delmore. If there’s a move to be made this year, a centre would be at the top of Playfair’s shopping list. Quintin Laing and Greg Nemisz – both natural wingers – are currently playing out of position in the middle. “It’s not an ideal situation for

their development or the betterment of our group,” Playfair noted. “But they’re the two bestqualified guys.” Playfair said he met with Flames GM Jay Feaster last Thursday for a review of the AHL club. “If there’s a trade to be made to upgrade our group, I’m sure he’s willing to do that,” he said. “It’s just a matter of seeing what’s out there for us.” Q The Heat hosted the Providence Bruins on Friday, but that score was unavailable at press time. The two teams renew hostilities on Saturday at the AESC at 7 p.m. Visit abbynews. com for game recaps.

For Sam Freeman and the UFV Cascades, March madness arrived a couple days early. Freeman’s three-pointer with 8.4 seconds remaining lifted the Cascades to a stunning 81-80 victory over the Trinity Western Spartans on Thursday in Game 1 of their best-of-three Canada West men’s basketball playoff series. The seventh-seeded Cascades had trailed by 14 points midway through the fourth quarter at L a n g l e y E v e n t s FREEMAN Centre, but closed the game on a torrid 15-0 run to upset the Spartans, seeded second in Canada West and ranked No. 4 nationally. Freeman called his gamewinner the biggest shot he’s made in his life. “It’s crazy – nothing can top this right now,” he said with a grin. “Nobody was in my face, and you have to hit that shot. You have to. It’s as simple as that.” The Cascades built a 20-12 lead in the first quarter behind some hot shooting from Zeon Gray and Joel Friesen. But the Spartans found their rhythm, and Danny Horner’s three-pointer gave the hosts a 41-38 lead at halftime. The much taller Trinity squad dominated in the rebounding department in the third quarter, and took a seemingly rock-solid 80-66 Continued on A22

’Cats top Cascades at v-ball provincials The Columbia Bible College men’s volleyball team punched its ticket to the provincial semifinals with an opening-round victory over their crosstown rivals on Thursday. At the B.C. Colleges Athletic Association (BCCAA) playoff tourney in Kelowna, the third-seeded Bearcats beat the No. 6 seed UFV Cascades in straight sets (25-23, 25-19, 25-19). CBC advanced to face the Douglas Royals in the semifinals on Friday, but that result was not available at press time.

The UFV women also advanced, beating the Camosun Chargers in straight sets (25-18, 25-17, 25-20) behind a big game from Jenna Evans (seven kills, 12 digs). They faced the host UBCOkanagan Heat in the semis. The Bearcats women were knocked out in the opening round, dropping a three-set decision to Capilano (25-19, 25-19, 25-10). Rookie setter Anna Cupido was CBC’s player of the match.

and chipped away at the lead. In the waning seconds, Freeman found some daylight on the right wing and calmly stroked the goahead trey. The Spartans still had plenty of time left, but they never got a shot off. Inbounding at halfcourt, Kyle Coston threw the ball directly to Freeman, who dribbled out the clock. “We have a knack for big comebacks somehow,” Cascades coach Barnaby Craddock said, referencing his team’s rally from a 23point halftime deficit at Victoria last season. “It’s a credit to the guys on the team. They have big hearts, and they don’t quit. You can’t coach that.” Gray (26 points on 11-of-17 shooting) and Friesen (23 points on 6-of-9 shooting) had efficient offensive performances for the Cascades, while Freeman finished with 18 points. Spartans superstar Jacob Doerksen, a Rick Hansen Secondary grad, paced TWU with 24 points. Game 2 went on Friday evening, but that result was unavailable at press time. Visit abbynews.com for updates. Game 3 (if necessary) would tip off at 7 p.m. Saturday at Langley Events Centre.
