Abbotsford should get out of the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD), and save almost $2 million per year. That’s the position of the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, which decided at a Tuesday night meeting to lobby the city to withdraw. Chamber executive director David D. Hull said he expects the city to look favourably on the recommendation, and “we’ll march arm-in-arm to Victoria,” where the provincial government would be asked to approve the move. The chamber’s government affairs committee produced an eight-page report, concluding that Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Mission are contributing an inordinate amount for services to people living in rural areas in the far-flung district, which covers almost 14,000 square
The Fraser Valley Regional District covers 14,000 square kilometres, and includes eight electoral areas, along with Valley cities. kilometres. From the U.S. border, it stretches northward almost to Whistler in its western reaches, taking in all of Harrison Lake, and past the Nahatlatch River in the east. “The City of Abbotsford contributed a few dollars short of two and half million dollars to the FVRD,” said chamber president
Patricia Sapielak in a press release. “It appears that the only real value or service the city receives is E911 and fire dispatch worth a little over half a million dollars. We think there is up to two million dollars the city could save annually.” Hull said Abbotsford has contributed $1.1 million toward FVRD general gov-
ernment and administration, another $203,000 for air quality management, and $273,000 for regional development services. He said all of these budget items would appear to be of dubious value to Abbotsford taxpayers. Meanwhile, they are paying a greater share of the taxation for the region, based on higher property assessments in Abbotsford compared to places like Yale and Boston Bar. Lowering property taxes for Abbotsford businesses was the chamber’s motivation to look at the issue. Regional districts are a governance model that may have made sense in the 1960s, but a new funding model must be found for services in rural communities, Hull asserted, and it should not add to property taxes in urban areas. Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross is also the FVRD chair. While she appreciates the Continued on A6

‘Is anybody in there?’ Water in ditch was up to rescuer’s neck Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
The first sign of trouble was when Robert Deyo saw a 30-foot wall of water erupt around the car in front of him as it hit a flooded section of road. Robert was on his way from Mission to drop off his wife, Debbie, at a home-care job in Abbotsford. It was about 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, and the two were headed east along Clayburn Road, just off the AbbotsfordMission Highway. Robert, a care aide at Mission Memorial Hospital’s extended care unit, was aware the area was known for flooding, but a barricade had been moved to the side and this was the quickest route to their destination. They saw the Honda Civic ahead hit a flooded portion, sending the car into a counterclockwise spin and smashing into a power pole on its passenger side. Pieces of the car flew off, and a big cloud of smoke billowed into the air.

While a driver saved from drowning remains in hospital, rescuer Robert Deyo is dealing with his own physical and emotional trauma after the incident. The vehicle came to rest, facing the opposite direction in a drainage ditch on the north side of the road. “We gotta get in there!” Robert yelled to Debbie as he pulled up to the scene.
As he leaped out of the car, he tossed his cellphone to her so she could call 911. The vehicle was slowly sinking. It was on its side, with the driver’s door facing up. Robert rushed into the ditch.
He is six feet tall, and the water came up to his neck. “Anybody in there?!” he yelled. The water was dark and muddy. Robert couldn’t see into the vehicle. He opened the driver’s door and frantically felt around with his hands, to no avail. He looked up and down the ditch, but couldn’t see anyone. Another man showed up at the scene. The two moved around to the roof of the vehicle, and began pushing on the car. They were finally able to find the victim, and pulled him to the surface. They turned him on his back and the man gasped for air. The two rescuers moved him to the bank. By then, other people had stopped at the scene, and one of them was a nurse. “He has an airway. Keep the airway open!” Robert told her. But he was frantic that someone else could be in the water. He kept looking and helped emergency personnel when they arrived at the scene. Thermal imaging was used to scan the water, and no one else was found. The victim was airlifted to hospital. That night, Robert was plagued Continued on A6

Secretary-treasurer Ray Velestuk said the funding increase included an additional $1.3 million due to higher-thanprojected enrolment; an extra $1.2 million for “unique student needs” such as ESL and special education; and the release by the provincial government of $1.6 million in “hold back” funds.
ANGLICAN APPEAL The trustees of four Anglican churches, including St. Matthew’s parish in Abbotsford, yesterday filed an application with the Supreme Court of Canada to appeal a previous court decision. The churches had until Jan. 14 to file the appeal. They are challenging a B.C. Court of Appeal ruling which upheld a B.C. Supreme Court decision removing their right to use their church buildings and awarding the properties to the Diocese of New Westminster, of the Anglican Church of Canada. The churches broke away from ACC to join the Anglican Network in Canada, following a disagreement over same-sex blessings. ANiC believes the blessings are contrary to core Anglican doctrine.

The 21-year-old man, whose name has not been released, is in hospital with a serious head injury. Robert, 52, has been unable to work due to the physical strain that his body suffered during the rescue, as well as the emotional trauma. He has sought counselling for posttraumatic stress. He said he wouldn’t hesitate to help again. He has two sons who, at
23 and 27, are similar in age to the victim. “I just hope someone would do that for my family,� he said, choking up. Robert brushes off any references to himself as a hero. “I think anybody that was able would do what they could do.� Neither the other man who helped rescue the victim, nor the nurse who assisted at the scene wanted to be identified. Robert said he shared his story so that others might do the same in an emergency situation. “You don’t go out that day thinking you’re going to save someone from a sinking car.�

chamber reviewing the cost of local government, she said the regional district would like to discuss the issue. “There are a lot of implications. It’s always more complicated than it seems at first blush,� said Ross. In a statement of response, she said: “While we respect their perspective, we do not necessarily agree with their conclusions. “The Regional District has, and continues to, work on improving services, reducing costs and ensuring a fair and equitable allocation of those costs across the region. We work closely with our member municipalities, including the City of Abbotsford, on a number of common issues and concerns. Many of these have been discussed in closed or in-camera sessions of the board, therefore are not for public discussions at this time,�
said Ross. Coun. John Smith is the city’s liaison to the chamber, and also attends the government affairs committee meetings. He said its members are “sharp business people� and have identified an issue that needs to be looked at. He was doubtful that there would be $2 million in savings. “I don’t know about their math. I think that’s a very high figure,� said Smith. “But even if it’s a million bucks, we should be saving it if we can.� Mayor George Peary has put the issue on Monday’s council agenda, and will also have a report from district staff on Abbotsford’s role in regional government.

Hearing to ‘preserve public confidence’
From A5
Two Abbotsford Police of ficers became the subjects of a YouTube video while they were making an arrest on Oct. 9, 2009. The Office of the Police Complaint
Commissioner (OPCC) issued notice last Friday of the public hearing for Const. Doug Lemna and Const. Daryle Young. A hearing date and location have not yet been set. The two officers were carrying out a
foot patrol in Ravine Park in Abbotsford when they witnessed what appeared to be a drug transaction in a driveway across the street. Two suspects were ordered to the ground. Lemna, who was an acting sergeant at the
Drinking, banking bad mix Dan FERGUSON Black Press
The really poor job of parking was the first clue that the client of an Aldergrove bank had been drinking. It was Saturday morning (Jan. 15) around 10 a.m. and the RBC branch in the 27500 block of Fraser Highway had been open barely half an hour when a car overshot the curb and banged into an exterior wall. The branch manager described the impact as a “bump.” Once the driver was inside the bank, it was obvious he’d had more than a few. Langley RCMP officers arrived with a portable breath alcohol
testing device that confirmed the customer’s blood alcohol level was above the legal limit. The man, a 42-year-old Abbotsford resident, blew a “fail” which meant his driving licence was suspended for 90 days and his car was seized for 30 days. On that weekend alone, there were 10 cases in the Langley area where drivers blew above the legal maximum and lost their licences and vehicles. There were also three incidents where drivers blew a “warn” meaning they were not technically over the maximum, but they were close enough to lose their right to drive for three days and their vehicles for seven.
time, applied force to the head and body of one of them, the notice states. It also states that Young stepped on the back of the same suspect’s knees, and also applied force with his knee to the man’s lower back. The Abbotsford Police Department conducted an internal investigation into the matter and issued its ruling on Dec. 15. Chief Bob Rich concluded that the allegation of abuse of
authority by Lemna was not substantiated. He concluded that one allegation of the use of unnecessary force was warranted in relation to Young. The OPCC can schedule a hearing when it believes the matter needs further investigation. It will also determine what, if any, disciplinary action will be issued. Police complaint commissioner Stan Lowe stated in the notice, after review-
ing the investigation and the conclusions, that a public hearing was necessary to “preserve or restore public confidence in the investigation of misconduct and the administration of police discipline.” Lemna was also charged last March with assault in relation to a different incident. That matter is still before the courts. Another Abbotsford police officer, Const. Alex Wood, faces
a public hearing this week. The matter was scheduled to begin yesterday (Wednesday) and conclude tomorrow at the Robson Square Courthouse. The hearing will consider whether Wood used excessive force when confiscating a digital camera in April 2008. Abbotsford resident Jonathan Peters accused Wood of breaking his finger while seizing his camera.

Police doing their part The new year starts off with some good news from the Abbotsford Police Department. Most people are already familiar with the key highlight – a dramatic drop in gang-related violence in 2010. From a deeply disturbing 11 homicides in 2009, the city recorded only four last year. The number of serious “shots fired” incidents dropped 65 per cent, from 17 in 2009 to six in 2010. The police can take much of the credit for that, with the arrests of several high-profile gang members, and intense pressue on the rest. There are other positive indicators. Business break-ins down 38 per cent; total property crimes decreased by seven per cent; violent crimes down by 10 per cent; theft of motor vehicles off the previous year by 14 per cent. Home break-ins went up, however, stressing the need for the same focus police placed on gangs, including ramping up the wattage of the spotlight on
prolific offenders, and the pursuit of programs that change their lifestyles and behaviour for the long-term. More boots on the ground is an important factor in policing, but as progressive law enforcement managers know, and we have seen, sustained control and reduction of crime requires sophisticated thinking and strategies. Partnering with other social agencies, and particularly, the public, is also critical. A community fully engaged in crime prevention, and participating in initiatives to steer young people away from a life of crime is a powerful tool. Considerable efforts are being made in those areas by Abbotsford police. In terms of crime reduction measures, this city is on the right track. As for a worrisome increase in the number of traffic fatalities in 2010, the public is once again key to improvement. The police are not behind your steering wheel – you are.
Recall descends into an ugly farce Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views The rough beast of recall has slouched into Kamloops and Comox, carrying with it the rank smell of the failing effort in Oak Bay. Next up in this venomous venture is Vernon, starting on March 15, Fight HST maestro Bill Vander Zalm vowed in a swing through the unlucky North Okanagan city last week. “More canvassers are signing up in Oak Bay-Gordon Head to help put recall over the top there,” Vander Zalm bragged in a news release describing a standing-roomonly crowd in Vernon. “We had a terrific meeting in a snowy Kamloops last night with 45 canvassers to kick off that campaign, and now this! It’s faaaaantastic!” This is a change to Vander Zalm’s tune on the bid to muscle out Science and Universities Minister Ida Chong. The previous week he posted an open letter to supporters pleading for money
and volunteers, while conceding that the cherry-picked swing constituency in suburban Victoria was still less than halfway to its goal with time running out. Former Social Credit attorney general Brian Smith and former NDP premier Dan Miller both spoke out to denounce this anti-tax recall as inappropriate. Smith told me about Oak Bay residents being approached repeatedly after refusing to sign the Chong petition. He called it “abuse.” But apparently Chong’s central message is getting through: getting rid of her won’t get rid of the harmonized sales tax. In Kamloops-North Thompson, where MLA Terry Lake is the strategic swing-riding target, the NDP-affiliated organizer told Kamloops This Week he was concerned about recall canvassers being diverted to work on NDP leadership campaigns. Nope, nothing partisan there. As the U.S. pondered the role of angry, threatening rhetoric in politics, B.C.’s acting Chief Electoral Officer Craig James was invited on CKNW radio to describe the hate mail he received after rejecting the first version of the Oak Bay-Gordon Head petition for having too many words. (This delayed it for all of a week.)
There were hundreds of e-mails to this mild-mannered legislature clerk, urged on by a typical screed sent out by Fight HST demanding his resignation. One of the milder missives wished James a slow death from cancer. More serious threats and death wishes prompted police to provide security to his home and the Elections BC office.
Chong’s message is getting through: Getting rid of her won’t get rid of the HST. Fight HST ringmaster Chris Delaney, along with the NDP-affiliated recall organizer for Oak Bay, downplayed this. Delaney suggested the timing was suspicious, as per his earlier baseless attacks on James’ impartiality. Vander Zalm also muttered about the government working with James and unspecified elements of the “Big Corpo-
rate Media” to scuttle the recall. This is the latest vision to emerge from the Fight HST clown car of conspiracy theories. Previous scenarios featured Canada being taken over by the European Union, and the shopworn plot to impose world government in the name of global warming. Delaney continues his frantic efforts to launch the B.C. First Party, which is coincidentally being developed in tandem with the recall campaign. In his role as B.C. First “spokesman,” Delaney recently cranked out a new conspiracy. The B.C. Liberals are forcing BC Hydro to undertake expensive repairs to dams and transmission facilities, not to expand or prevent further blackouts in downtown Vancouver, but to make BC Hydro go broke! Then they’re going to sell it off to General Electric! This is a variation on a loopy theory advanced by Rafe Mair, wherein Gordon Campbell plots to dam the Fraser River and then sell Hydro off to GE. NDP leadership candidates would be wise to follow Miller’s lead and distance themselves from this increasingly toxic exercise.

A family day every week
How very interesting that Christy Clark should hit upon the brilliant idea of creating a new provincial public holiday designated as “Family Day.” In this age of speed, greed and “problem families,” it may be profitable to remind her of the time when
Noisy, smelly buses Re: (Buses, not rail in Valley vision) I hate buses! They smell, they’re noisy, and they stop and go all the way home. I don’t trust bus drivers, and their driving habits. I feel sorry for the people standing in the rain waiting for that bus that’s always late. Give me a train any day and I’ll be on it. I love riding the West Coast Express to Vancouver, and I hope someday to go to Chilliwack on a train, not a bus.
there was a “family day” every week on the day called Sunday. Perhaps, instead of allowing large corporations and shopping chains to exploit the parents of so many children for corporate financial gain, our politicians could be persuaded to give some thought to re-
storing the six-day working week. This would afford most mothers and fathers “one of the keys to strong families,” in “having quality time together” and spending one day a week with their children – not just one special day a year, courtesy of an ambitious and
opportunistic politician. The government that holds a referendum on Sunday retail shopping in British Columbia will be doing more for children than all the welfare schemes any politicians can conceivably concoct. Ralph Smith

BC Hydro is getting ready to install “smart meters� across the province that will tell customers how much electricity they’re using at different times of the day. But unlike Ontario’s smart meters, the B.C. program will not immediately come with mandatory higher rates for peak period use and lower rates for non-peak times such as late at night. In its business case for the new meters, released Tuesday, BC Hydro
says customers will be offered an opportunity to choose “time of use� rates if they want them. But that promise only lasts until all the new meters are installed, by the end of 2012. The completion date was dictated by the B.C. government’s latest energy plan to encourage new clean energy sources and stop net electricity imports to B.C. BC Hydro says it is still in the early stages of determining its rate structure for the smart meter era, and all rate changes must

wireless networks and in-home displays for customers. NDP energy critic and leadership candidate John Horgan said a new time-of-day rate structure is inevitable, but it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be imposed until customers have smart meters. He continues to question the high initial cost, especially as BC Hydro raises rates and contracts with higher-cost private power producers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you had a billion dollars, is this the best way to spend it?â&#x20AC;? Horgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at a 50 per cent rate increase over the next three years.â&#x20AC;? He suggested the money would be better spent helping people install energy-saving home upgrades such as insulation and doubleglazed windows. BC Hydro estimates that the smart meter program will produce a net savings of $500 million over the next 20 years, through improved reliability and efficiency as well as conservation of energy. The smart meters will report consumption automatically, eliminating the need for meter readers, and the new meters will also detect power outages and electricity theft. Installation is to begin by mid-2011, and customers will receive notices along with their bills when installers are coming to their community. Once a smart meter is installed, customers with computers will be able to log into their secure BC Hydro account and see a nearly real-time display of their electricity use. After meter installation is done in 2012, BC Hydro plans to offer rebates to people who want to purchase an in-home power consumption display that sits on the wall like a thermostat.

Metro plan OK’d despite ALR fears Jeff NAGEL Black Press
A new regional growth strategy that opponents warn will intensify development pressure on farmland has been approved by a near-consensus of the Metro Vancouver board. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves was the only director to vote
against the plan, titled Metro Vancouver 2040: Shaping Our Future. It now needs the approval of each city council in the region, the Tsawwassen First Nation, TransLink board and the two adjacent regional district boards before it comes back to Metro for vote on final adoption. “We are allowing
agricultural land to be threatened in this Metro Vancouver regional plan,” said Steves, who supports most of the document. He says the new urban containment boundary in the document that seeks to limit sprawl allows too much new farmland to be converted to urban or industrial use in
eastern Langley and parts of Richmond. And he also objects to a series of study areas identified for possible longer-term urban development, which Steves said may be used to remove farmland from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR.) The study areas, mapped out by local cities, include parts
of Langley, southeast Surrey, more undeveloped forest above the highest existing homes in West Vancouver and small areas in Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. Some of the farmland that could be converted is near Gloucester Estates in northeast Langley, an industrial area Steves had believed would not be allowed to expand. “All this does is drive land prices up in the region, increasing speculation in the region and makes it more difficult for bonafide farmers, young people, to buy farmland.” But chief administrator Johnnie Carline assured other directors the urban containment boundary is “quite strong,” and that the Agricultural Land Commission’s designation of ALR land trumps anything in Metro’s plan. Land in the study areas could come out of the ALR on a simple majority vote
of Metro’s board, but ners first wanted. only with the ALC’s Even Carline admitconsent as well as the ted it sometimes local city. seemed like it would Burnaby Mayor “take a forensic denDerek Corrigan, who tist with an X-ray to chairs Metro’s regional find any teeth left in planning committee, this.” said protecting the But he defends the ALR is a provincial final balance of powresponsibility, not ers in the document as Metro’s. appropriate.

Successful homecoming for Abby native Arsene in 5-1 win over Heat Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
If the Peoria Rivermen seemed like a motivated crew during their 5-1 blowout win over the Abbotsford Heat on Tuesday, it’s because the game represented a muchanticipated homecoming for a significant segment of their squad. Starting at the top, Rivermen head coach Jared Bednar served as an assistant to Abbotsford Heat bench boss Jim Playfair last season. Brett Sonne, a second-year centre who scored a goal during Peoria’s decisive second-period outburst, hails from Maple Ridge. Rivermen forward Andrew Carroll played 13 games for
the Heat earlier this season ily members at the game. as an ECHL call-up. “I kind of felt like that in And then there was the first period, and then I Rivermen captain Dean calmed down in the second Arsene, an Abbotsford na- and played like I normally tive who was playing pro do.

Peoria’s even-strength goals and finished with an unsightly -3 rating. “It all comes down to effort, and the effort wasn’t there. That was the rightful score tonight.” The Heat’s performance in the first period offered few hints at the blowout to come. The Rivermen did score on their first shot of the game – a one-timer by T.J. Hensick off a centering feed from Nikita Nikitin at the 4:06 mark of the first. But otherwise, the Heat did a reasonable job establishing their forecheck, and leveled the score on a goal by Gaelan Patterson. In the second period, the Continued on A22

country. The Bearcats men, ranked No. 10 nationally coming in, gave the Heat a run for their money, winning the first set 25-20. But UBC-O bounced back to win the next three by scores of 25-22, 25-18 and 25-17. “We showed we can physically play against a top-ranked team,” CBC head coach Rocky Olfert said. “But we’re still hurting ourselves with our unforced errors, and that’s where you have to credit the Heat. They picked up their play after that first set, and we didn’t respond to that.” The UFV volleyballers made the
trip to Kelowna on Saturday, and both the men (25-14, 25-21, 25-18) and the women (25-17, 25-14, 25-20) suffered straight-sets defeats to the Heat. The UBC-O basketball teams were in Abbotsford to face the Bearcats at Columbia Place, and they swept all four games. The CBC men lost 73-34 on Friday and 92-58 on Saturday, while the women fell by scores of 94-64 and 112-39. Q The Bearcats hoopsters are at home this week against the Vancouver Island University Mariners on Friday (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m.) and Saturday (women 1 p.m., men 3 p.m.).

Heat goalie Leland Irving, rock-solid for most of the first half of the season, got the hook for the second time in four games.

asrin Khademalahabadi appreciates something most take for granted – the ability to walk outside. Iran native Khademalahabadi travelled from her home in Dubai to Abbotsford in June 2010, seeking work. From the moment she arrived, she was taken aback by the weather – a welcome change from the Arabian desert’s sizzling heat. The arid climate, with daily temperatures averaging 40 degrees, made it difficult for her to get around – a problem Khademalahabadi no longer has. “You may not believe it, but I love the rain,” she said, adding that

She’s also grateful that her Baha’i religion won’t hinder her ability to work. Since coming to Abbotsford, she has faced some hurdles, yet the Abbotsford Community Services has been helpful, she said. For Khademalahabadi, the lack of experience is hindering her from attaining a job, but that challenge doesn’t stop her from sending job applications daily.

Customers kept safe
myJob
Chelsea HAEBER Contributor
Customer service is the job description of a mall security guard, says Joan Daniels. As the security supervisor at SevenOaks Shopping Centre, she leads a large team through their duties, which includes patrolling the mall and parking lots while keeping tenants and customers safe and happy. “We’re customer service in a uniform,” she says. Her outfit consists of a white-collared shirt with “security” etched across the back, a gold handcuff pin on the collar, a radio to communicate with other staff, a pair of black leather gloves to wear when treating injured customers and a cell phone. “It’s everything I need to get my job done.” During an eight-hour shift she watches for shoplifters, accompanies shoppers and staff to their cars, and when necessary, administers first aid. Her staff also deal with undesirables who occasionally loiter outside the mall – something Daniels says has become less of a problem since she started a year ago. Prior to this position, she did security at Willowbrook Mall in Langley. The field of security offers a number of opportunities, says Daniels, and is often a stepping stone to becoming a police officer or working in corrections. The best part about her job is the variety of challenges. “You never know what the day will hold, it changes every day.” From watching for spills and garbage, to getting to know the tenants, Daniels always has her eyes open and head up. “This is my mall,” she says with a laugh.

My City is Abbotsford because… We moved from Vancouver to to Abbotsford in 2003 because our workplace is here. We were reluctant at Àrst, given Abbotsford’s reputation of being the “Bible Belt”. Our friends thought we were crazy moving here from Vancouver. When we moved here our son was 18 months old and we were pregnant with our daughter. They are 8 and six now and go to Sandy Hill Elementary School in the french immersion program. I asked them what they like about Abbotsford and here is what they said verbatim:

cruising in style When it’s time to get away from it all, do it with flair. It’s cruising season, a time to stand out in vivid colours and bright patterns with a playful spirit to them. Think fuchsia, turquoise, violet and tangerine in floral prints and abstract designs. Modern cruise wear is multifunctional – for example, a swimsuit cover-up that doubles as a flirty dress or a bathing suit with separates that can be mixed and matched with other pieces.

Romantics say a gift of jewelry is known to cure several Valentine’s Day dilemmas all at once. First, if you find it hard to express your feelings, opening a pretty little box of jewelry takes few words but says exactly what you want. If you want to express sincerity, taking the time to select just the right personalized adornment for her demonstrates a lot of thought. If you need more than Cupid’s arrow to get her attention, a gift of the most feminine jewelry in the world is sure-fire way to make you stand out in the crowd. The idea is to make her feel special, so steer towards something personalized and hand-crafted, not a cookiecutter piece that she might see on someone else. To celebrate life’s unforgettable moments together, for example, why not start a high-quality charm bracelet for her for about $100? It’s a genuine keepsake – perfect for sweethearts but also for mothers and daughters, or between sisters and girlfriends. To assist with your window-shopping, here’s a snapshot of three of the most romantic gift ideas for women:

Beauty advice from Mom: Is it true or just a myth? For generations, women around the world have passed down tried-and-true beauty advice to their daughters and granddaughters. When it comes to knowing about the ultimate beauty regimens and style essentials, who better to turn to than Mom? However, exactly how much of what you’ve been told over the years is true? Can 100 brush strokes each night really produce healthy, shiny hair and do chocolate and greasy foods really cause acne breakouts? Read on to discover some age-old myths and the simple truths behind great hair and beautiful skin. HAIRCARE Myth #1: Frequent trimmings can make hair grow faster. Truth: In fact, hair grows a half-inch per month, whether it is cut or not. Hair may grow slightly faster in the summer, but that has nothing to do with the stylist’s scissors and everything to do with hormones, which do speed hair growth a little. However, a good trim will eliminate split ends, making hair look healthier and livelier. Myth #2: You should brush your hair
100 strokes every day. Truth: Actually, it’s best if you only brush your hair when styling it. Excessive brushing can do damage by over-stretching the hair, ripping the cuticle cells and causing thinning, triggering added breakage and split ends in the long run. FACIAL CARE Myth #3: Suntanning helps clear up dull complexions. Truth: This cannot be further from the truth. Although a small amount of exposure to the sun may initially improve the appearance of acne, ex-
tended exposure can lead to premature aging in the form of wrinkles and fine lines. To help combat adult acne and protect against early signs of aging, use a cleanser designed for acne-prone skin. And always use a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher when planning to spend time outdoors. Myth #4: Eating chocolate and greasy foods causes pimples. Truth: Many studies over the years have shown that there is no cause/effect relationship
between food and acne. However, it is important to ensure you wash your hands following meals and snacks to avoid transferring dirt and oils when you touch your face. Myth #5: Acne is caused by dirt. Truth: The blackness of blackheads is not caused by dirt, but rather by the colouring of cells that are stuck at the top of the clogged pore. Unwashed skin is more likely to have pimples and blackheads, but dirt is not the cause of acne. To eliminate blackheads and clean deep inside pores, try a scrub designed for blackheads. A gentle exfoliating formula will help to effectively treat and prevent breakouts. BODY CARE Myth #6: Drinking lots of water helps get rid of cellulite. Truth: This is not a myth! Cellulite is caused by a combination of your body holding on to water and a build-up of toxins that sit in the fatty tissues. The truth is that the best way to get rid of it is by drinking lots of water – up to eight glasses a day. Incorporating a low-fat diet and exercise into your lifestyle will also help the process along.

Classic favourites are re-invented in spring 2011 fashion trends Neutral tones and graphic prints among the looks Fashion right now is all about reinventing classic favourites, with a wardrobe full of perfect pieces that have been restyled and reconsidered to feel completely new. This season there’s a particular focus on the mood of the ’60s and ’70s, with brightly coloured shapes that are short and sharp alongside a more romantic silhouette that is long and elegant. To make a modern mix, these pieces are teamed with seasonal trends and modern essentials with innovative shapes and proportions. There is a move towards function in fabrics as well as form, with many of the fibres used being organic or recycled. Sustainable materials are used to make fashion-forward clothes that will soon be timeless. It’s great to reinvent your wardrobe at the beginning of a new season. Fashion doesn’t change as drastically as it used to so you could easily get last season’s favourites to work with smart updates. Safe buys for spring are cool classics in beige or white. The longer skirts and dresses feel new and feminine. SILHOUETTE Long and loose or short and sharp COLOURS Misty make-up tones, navy, white, beige,
yellow and pink PATTERNS AND PRINTS Flowers, animal prints, graphic prints MATERIALS Stonewashed cotton and Tencel, suede, linen mix, fine jersey, chiffon and voile, organic and recycled materials KEY ITEMS Trousers in different shapes and styles, maxi dress, jersey top, blazer jacket KEY ACCESSORIES Natural leather bag, belt, sandals and clogs MENSWEAR The function and form of utility clothing and the global trend for personal style are major fashion influences this spring. It’s all about finding perfect new versions of contemporary classics, then styling them in a completely new way. Khakis are a must, and essential pieces look better than ever, be it a blazer, a uniform jacket, a striped jersey or a crisp shirt, to be matched with tailored trousers, chinos, white jeans or shorts. These pieces work from day to evening, and can be styled to suit seasonal trends as well as to express an individual’s own
personality. It’s like the best version of a man’s wardrobe, where everything works together, taking what’s familiar and creating something completely fresh. Styling makes all the difference this spring. The blazer looks new worn with cargo shorts, and a hooded jacket is dressed up with a shirt and tailored trousers. The combination of black and khaki green is super- elegant. SILHOUETTE Loose COLOURS Khaki green, black, navy, grey melange, white PATTERNS AND PRINTS Stripes and melange MATERIALS Cotton twill, sweatshirt jersey, linen mix, denim, organic and recycled materials KEY ITEMS Blazer, white five-pocket jeans, uniforminspired styles, shorts KEY ACCESSORIES Desert boots, leather belt, briefcase, rucksack

Fine Fare & Wine to Pair with Kathleen Rake
Have you tried any new grapes lately? The thing about wine is this: You like what you like, and I like what I like. And, while sometimes we like each other’s choice of wine, it’s often difficult to progress beyond what we know we like when we’re at the cash register. One way to safely move outside your wine comfort zone but still get the flavour and aroma profiles that really appeal to you is to strike up a relationship with your local wine seller. My three go-to gals in the wine world are Rose Siemens at Whatcom Wine and Spirits in east Abbotsford, Donna Mitchell at the Signature Liquor Store in Clearbrook and Eliana Bray at Firefly Fine Wine and Ales in Maple Ridge. These three women of wine know their fermented grapes and work to know their customers so they can help them expand their respective wine horizons. I recently picked up a bottle of Nichol Vineyard 2005 St. Laurent ($35/12.7% ABV), a varietal wine I’d never read about or tasted.
Would I have done so without the guidance of my trusted wine seller? Not likely. This wine had juicy cherry, ripe berry and earthy aromas on the nose, with cherries, plums and subtle notes of chocolate and espresso on the palate. It had a pleasant and bright acidity, silky
mouth feel and satisfying finish. And, while it paired wonderfully with our dinner of linguini topped with my tomato-meat sauce full of capers and black olives, this is a wine I would enjoy all by itself. For more wine-soaked musings, visit Kathleen Rake at her blog, www.BetweenTheVines.ca
