2011 Budget Message
COUNCIL BRIEF Highlights from Abbotsford City Council
HIGHLIGHTS HIGHLIGHTS November 1, 2010 Council Session
Message from the City Manager On November 1, 2010, Council was presented with the status of the 2011 Operating Budget along with recommendations for budget increases of 2 per cent for Police and 1.5 per cent for City Operations. Council provided support in principle for these recommendations, however, ďŹ nal decisions on the budget will not be adopted until December 6, 2010.
November 1, 2010 Council Session Executive Committee -Update on the Abbotsford Collegiate Library Plan Executive Committee
On November 22, 2010, Council will be presented with recommendations for the 2011 Capital component of the budget. At this session, Council will receive a list of vital infrastructure projects for our City, including renewal and maintenance of our roads, buildings, and physical assets. Along with this list will come a recommendation for a 1 per cent tax increase to support these Capital projects – now and into the future.

Frank Pizzuto City Manager
Council will consider the consolidated Operating & Capital Budget recommendations for a ďŹ nal time on December 6, 2010. At this Council session there will be a detailed overview and presentation of the complete proposed budget as well as an opportunity for residents to make any ďŹ nal comments. Over the past few months, the message we have heard from residents has been consistent — keep budget increases as low as possible but do not reduce services and programs that impact residents. I believe it is worth restating that the budget process continues to provide us with some ongoing challenges. I truly thank all residents who took the time to give us their opinions and suggestions. Your feedback has helped to guide us in solidifying our funding priorities — community policing and safety, transit improvements, and infrastructure. All other tax funded areas will either be reduced or will remain unchanged from last year. Reductions will come from continued efforts by staff toward internal efďŹ ciencies, permanent staff reductions, and by leaving positions vacant. Within this structure, programs and services to residents will not be impacted. Again, I thank you for your feedback and remain available for any comment or suggestion you may have on the 2011 budget at citymanager@abbotsford.ca or 604-864-5584.

Speedy delivery for family Third son born in ambulance
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
When fitness instructor Karen Hoekstra of Mission felt her first contractions at 4:30 a.m. on her due date, Oct. 27, she decided to get out of bed and do some laundry. She didn’t want to disturb her husband, Manny Johnson, quite yet. They still had some time to get to the hospital, although her first two labours – with Jacob, now three, and Lucas, 16 months – were only three hours each. An hour later, she woke Manny. “Maybe you should get up and we should get going,” she said, noting that her contractions were growing stronger and closer together. Manny, a forklift mechanic, showered and left to put some gas in the car. Karen, 31, phoned their midwife and told her they would be leaving in a few minutes for Ridge Meadows Hospital. She also phoned her

the contraction pain was relentless. “I don’t think we’re going to make it to Maple Ridge,” she said. By now it was just after 6 a.m., and Karen insisted they wait in the
car for Margaret, so they could leave as soon as she arrived. Karen’s hospital bag had been packed a few days before and was already in the car. She felt like she was having one continuous contraction. Her labour was moving even faster than she had predicted. “Phone 911!” she told Manny. “I don’t know,” he said, hesitating. “Phone 911!” Manny called. Karen couldn’t get comfortable in the car. She thought the lawn looked like a good place and was beyond caring what the neighbours would think. Margaret arrived shortly after, and Manny put her on the phone with 911. He then went to the end of the driveway to wait for the ambulance, while Margaret stayed by her daughter’s side. The ambulance arrived at 6:23 a.m. and Karen was moved onto a stretcher and Continued on A7

Migrant workers at the Sidhu and Sons Nursery in Mission have gained a precedent-setting union contract.
Contract a first
Migrant workers gain key benefits Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A collective agreement reached between a Mission-based nursery and a group of its employees is the first contract in Canada to specifically address migrant workers. The contract with Sidhu and Sons Nursery on Sylvester Road was announced yesterday (Friday) by local 1518 of the United Food and Commercial
Workers (UFCW). It involves about 40 individuals. Andy Neufeld, communications director with UFCW local 1518, described the arrangement as “precedent-setting.” He said it took almost three years to get the agreement in place between the nursery and the workers, who are mainly from Mexico and Jamaica. The contract includes a grievance procedure, seniority rights, paid breaks, increased vacation pay, a wage increase and more. They are also entitled to recall rights, meaning once they leave the country when the growing season is over, they are given priority in being called back the following year.
Gurdev Sidhu, the owner of Sidhu and Sons Nursery, did not return a phone call from the Abbotsford News yesterday. According to their website, the nursery produces more than 600 acres of evergreens, conifers, shrubs, trees and perennials, including blueberry plants. Neufeld said the contract is significant because it has been difficult for migrant workers across Canada to gain bargaining recognition under provincial labour codes. This is because they are not permanent residents, typically spending five to eight months in the country performing work that can’t be filled by Canadians. He said it has also been diffi-
cult for workers to organize because they are fearful of being seen as trouble-makers and not being called back the following season. They do not want to risk losing the seasonal work, which pays considerably more than what they would make in their home country. But Neufeld, speaking in general terms, said union protection is necessary in some cases. “There are some very good farm operators out there who treat their workers really well, and there are others who don’t because it costs them.” Neufeld said some workers live in sub-standard conditions, inContinued on A7
Green labour shortage looms: Report Abbotsford key player in food security Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News
The province must confront a looming shortage of skilled workers who are needed to contribute to a greener economy, in which Abbotsford has a key role. The shortage was the main finding to come out of an independent study from the Globe Foundation of Canada, which produced a report entitled “British Columbia’s Green Economy: Securing the Workforce of Tomorrow.” The report comes after a year of research and community outreach initiatives. The foundation reports there were 117,000 green jobs in B.C. identified during a 2008 survey, and by 2020 that should swell to 202,000. However, the green workforce, largely a group of experienced professionals, is also greying rapidly. “The green labour force is going to experience a lot of retirement over the next six years,” said project director Paul Shorthouse, who predicts there could be a
B.C. is facing a shortage of ‘green’ workers. shortage of 60,000 green workers by 2020. These are experienced engineers, technicians, business development professionals and environmental consultants. Abbotsford is deemed to have 4,400 fulltime equivalent jobs that would be considered to be part of the green economy. “In general, that region, the Fraser Valley, we found to be very innovative and
professional,” said Shorthouse. It is also considered to be a player in the green economy, the study found, in large part because of the massive agricultural production in the Fraser Valley. More than 1,200 farms in the Abbotsford area generate about $1.8 billion in economic activity, a recent study found. The six key areas of the green economy were classified as: alternative energy, energy management, green building, environmental protection and sustainable farming, carbon management, and support (research and education). Food security is an important green initiative, and the report identifies the need to have more food production in the area, so food is not harvested, shipped to the U.S. to be processed, and then sent back to the province’s consumer markets. The group held focus groups during the summer, and at one in Chilliwack about half of those involved were from Abbotsford.

The Abbotsford board of education will make its decision on the future of Dunach elementary on Monday at its regular meeting. The session begins at 7:30 p.m. at Eugene Reimer Middle School, 3433 Firhill Drive. Trustees will vote on whether to close the school, a decision that was delayed last spring. More than 100 parents, students and staff attended a public forum on Nov. 1, and about 40 speakers pleaded with the board to keep the school open. The board has said closing the school will save $570,000 annually, as well as $2.8 million in building upgrades.
TEDDY BEAR TOSS Every ticket sold for the Abbotsford Heat’s game on Dec. 10 against the Chicago Wolves will generate a $5 donation towards the Abbotsford Community Services’ Food Bank and Christmas Bureau. That game will also mark the Heat’s second annual Teddy Bear Toss. When the Heat score their first goal of the game, fans are asked to throw their teddy bears on the ice for the Christmas Bureau. Game time is 7 p.m. at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC). Fans can bring their own teddy bears or purchase them on the AESC concourse.
ROAD CLOSURE A full road closure will be in effect on 58 Avenue, between Baynes Road and Bradner Road, from Nov. 22 to Dec. 3 to facilitate paving. Only local traffic will be permitted. Detour signage will be posted via Bradner Road, Townshipline Road, Lefeuvre Road, Myrtle Avenue and Baynes Street.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Library missed
Do you approve of the city’s plan to move to bi-monthly water bills?
So Abbotsford’s commitment to downtown is building multi-million, large space areas instead of choosing to support sustainable low-cost housing and mid-sized venue space for emerging artists? So far the Reach has failed to draw any support for the local arts community, and housing remains a key issue. I suppose I could stop talking and face the reality – it is far easier for large-profit business owners to care about high impact business, while it is immensely more difficult to interact with, or care about, the social needs of the immediate community.
To answer, go to abbynews.com
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Have tough new impaired driving laws affected your drinking habits?
Adam Roper Let me see if I’ve got this right...by the “immediate community” you mean the homeless wandering the streets, parks and parking lots of downtown Abbotsford ? So your vision of downtown renewal is actually multiple homeless shelters and low income apartments punctuated by pottery studios ... really ?
YOU RESPONDED:
YES: 57% NO: 43%

Mixed message on drinking/driving laws Andrew
Holota
On Point There’s an old saying that goes something like, “They couldn’t torganize a booze-up in a brewery.” It would apply to B.C.’s beleaguered Liberal government, which has bungled one piece of new legislation after another, including new drinking and driving rules. Serving patrons alcohol is a pretty integral part of running a restaurant or bar. That’s one of the reasons people go to them. It’s always been the customer’s choice on how much to imbibe, and what to do after. Choose poorly, and you ran the risk of bumping into a police officer with the authority to park your keister for 24 hours, or haul you down to the station for a breathalyzer test. Blow over .08 and it was off to a date with a criminal court judge.
You’d think the prospect of the latter would be enough to convince everyone to imbibe responsibly. Apparently not. Along came the Liberals’ tough new provincial regulations. Now a roadside breath test can result in some very uncomfortable consequences. Register a Warn – ostensibly a blood-alcohol content of between .05 and .08 – and it’s an automatic threeday driving suspension, a $200 fine, the likely loss of your vehicle, along with the associated towing bill, and a big fee to get your licence reinstated. Ouch. And how do you know when you’re over .05? Well, there’s the problem. Alcohol affects people differently. Someone of light stature may hit .05 much sooner than someone of heavier frame – but not necessarily. Other factors are at play, such as personal tolerance, consumption of food, metabolism, etc. Which is all very interesting, but ultimately irrelevant if you blow a Warn. The new laws aren’t like the crimi-
nal code offence of .08 or over, where you get your day in court, and the Crown must prove the process that got you there was legal and accurate. Now, the officer and the device are judge and jury. Not surprisingly, the police embraced the new legislation. More
You might wonder what the Libs thought the effect of heavy-duty roadside suspensions and fees would be. than 1,400 vehicles were seized in the first month since the laws came into effect. Equally predictable, these new laws are scaring the bleep out of a lot of people. And the bars and restaurants are paying dearly for that anxiety. Business is down more than 30 per cent in
some establishments. Some owners are laying off staff, and others even talk about closing. Tough beans, the righteous say. Don’t go out and drink at all. And if you do, get a ride. Drunks shouldn’t be on the road. Hard to argue against any of that. And plenty of folks are deciding it’s not worth going out at all. But wait. The new Solicitor General Rich Coleman said this week that blowing .05 after a glass of wine is just “urban myth.” The intention of the law was not to go after responsible drinkers, and punish restaurant and bar owners, he insisted. You might wonder what the Libs thought the effect of heavy-duty roadside suspensions and fees would be. The cops ought to be using more discretion, Coleman said. Here’s a powerful tool, but go easy on using it...? Anyway, I’m glad to hear the Liberals are still OK with me having a drink when I go out for dinner ... I think ... See you in the brewery, Rich.

BC Bereavement Day
New law scarcely tough Rich Coleman is paid to be Solicitor General and Minister of Public Safety but obviously feels torn about protecting the public against death and injury from drunken driving, as he feels there should be “discretion” in enforcing the new law. This implies, “We made the law but you don’t have to take it seriously.” This attitude is called talking out of both sides of your mouth, or running with the fox and the hounds. This “tough law” which makes .05 the cut-off
level for impaired driving is scarcely tough – it only reflects the standard in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Norway, Portugal and Spain. If Mr. Coleman is worried about losing the bar, restaurant and alcohol vote, he should take comfort in the increased job opportunities for taxi drivers who can pick up fares to and from restaurants and bars to make up for the loss of airport business because of the Canada Line.

Recouping health care costs by suing a church? Recently the media informed us that the province of B.C. is suing Central Heights church to recover health care costs from the injuries sustained in their dreadful collapsing floor. I am not a member of that church but go there sometimes. And I can’t stand most of the stuff now called Christian music, though I was sad to hear of the terrible accident caused by a rock event. But get real, our government wants to recoup health care costs by suing a church? Right now the hot news is that pub owners are crying in their beer because tighter law enforcement is making
DOVE RELEASE
patrons more cautious about driving, so they are buying less alcohol. I guess that will bring health costs down significantly, but we hear Rich Coleman caving in and assuring us that he has instructed law enforcement to back off. For a moment there, I thought our government cared about the health and well-being of their people. What is really galling, though, is the 18-million-dollar Basi, Virk, Aneal business. These high-profile government employees were provided a bevy of lawyers with seemingly limitless funds to run out the clock on a trial date.
Henderson’s Fraser Valley Funeral Home AND THE
Abbotsford Hospice Society
We, the taxpayers, are now told there is virtually no punishment and these men don’t need to pay for their exorbitant legal defence. So our provincial government endorses the business of alcohol consumption with all the attendant health care costs. And government taxes law-abiding citizens to pay for mock trials of corrupt government officials. Got to generate money from somewhere to cover such bills, so why not hit the Christians? Those overwhelmingly cleanliving, law-abiding citizens should be an easy mark! Gerda Peachey

Err and stray like lost sheep How refreshing are the articles that appear on the Viewpoint Page on Saturdays. The piece about seeking control in the digital world was brilliant. It was really On Point with good observations and humour in describing the way we interact with modern electronic devices. That’s the editor, isn’t it? Andrew Holota. Hmmm. He’s the one whose arrival at The Abbotsford News coincided with the elimination of the religion page. What an ill-advised decision that was. Interesting that someone with such a good way with words could be involved with taking away the writings of local pastors. Actually there’s a link between the editor’s
recent article and the Christian message. It’s the Global Positioning System. If you drive with a GPS and disobey its gentle instructions it pauses for a moment and then says, “Recalculating.” Whether you go off course deliberately or accidentally the GPS politely tells you how to get to your intended destination. It doesn’t yell or get upset, but lets you know where to turn. Reminds me of when we “err and stray like lost sheep”. I love your articles Mr. Holota. But I miss reading what the Abbotsford churches have to say.

The truth about copper vs. aluminum wiring! If your home was built between 1960 and 1980, there is a good chance you may have aluminum wiring. If your lights flicker occasionally, or your outlets and switch plates are warm to the touch, you definitely have a cause for concern. FACT: Copper wiring conducts electricity better than aluminum.
FACT: Copper wiring expands and contracts less which means it is less likely to cause overheating, loose connections, arcing and melting, ultimately the #1 cause of electrical fires.
FACT: Homes with aluminum wiring are 55 times more likely to have a fire hazard condition present.
Obviously, replacing all the aluminum wire with copper wire is the best, worry free solution. But there is another option which the BC Safety Authority recognizes as a safe and acceptable alternative to a complete home wiring replacement. We have frequently seen this repair attempted incorrectly, which means the homeowner has received no benefit for the effort or their investment, so having the work done to Code by a trained professional is critical. Our technicians are both skilled and experienced at this cost effective way of addressing your aluminum wiring problems and reducing the risk of fire and electrical problems in your home. Aside from the safety benefit, addressing this problem may even have a positive affect on your home’s resale value and homeowner’s insurance rate. We will provide you with a written quote before any work begins, so there are no unexpected surprises at the end of the job. Your complete satisfaction, all 100 % of it, is very important to us.
Your safety, security and peace of mind are always our priority. Get reliable & experienced electrical experts for all your troubleshooting, repair, renovations and installation needs, so the job is done right the first time!

letters Different isn’t evil I have grown up seeing the gang wars and drug pushers who seem to rule this town and the negative effects it has had on our city and its people. I have also grown up a lover of punk and rock music, and part of what gives me joy in life is going to see local talent express themselves through words and passion. Over the years, the number of venues that provide a place for local bands to play has depleted significantly, especially for these styles of music. Recently, some friends rented out a place to provide a home for music and its admir-

ers. A place to keep kids off the streets; a place that holds their interests. But now this place, so shortlived, is gone. The letter that is being posted around town states, “Tell the owners of the Fun Haus what you think about underage drinking and drug abuse in Abbotsford.” I think that these are both big problems that every kid has to face and I for one would like to thank you for providing a safe place for entertainment that has a no alcohol/ drug policy (as stated in their events pages) and keeps the kids off the streets where the real drug dealers play.
To those who are running these accusations, underage drinking is everywhere. Parks, pools, schools, anywhere you look, it’s been there. The choice is on the individual to participate. I can’t help but wonder if these accusations are fueled by some narrow-minded stereotyping because of the colours of our hair, the tattoos on our skin and the patches on our backs. Just because we have different styles that a lot don’t understand, does not make us evil or predators of today’s youth. Carly Nesbitt
Relying on alcohol I think it is a sad day in Abbotsford when one reads that restaurant and bar owners rely on their sales of alcohol to make their business a success, over the life of a human being. They are blaming the government for this new law, but who is actually accountable for this needed action? Not the responsible person who can go out and have a casual drink, or make sure that there is someone to drive them home after consuming too much alcohol; but those who drink and drive and do not give a hoot who they hurt

along the way. They are the irresponsible people who have done this to you, not the government. Statistics show too many drunk-driving related accidents and deaths, especially teen driver accidents; hence this new law. So suck it up, ladies and gentlemen.

Feds fund poultry research Fast announces $1.8 million science grant The federal government will contribute $1.8 million for research in the poultry industry, Abbotsford MP Ed Fast announced at Abbotsford’s Prairie Lane Poultry on Wednesday. The funds will be used to bring together scientific experts from universities, industry and government to “address sector priorities and challenges concerning poultry health, food safety and quality, and production practices,” stated an Agri-Food Canada press release. “When you see
gover nment supporting research, it’s a real step in the right direction,” said Stewart Paulson, an Abbotsford-based poultry industry specialist with the B.C. Agriculture Ministry. He said there are many examples of countries that have become agricultural leaders through similar research and government investment. The research will be overseen by the Canadian Poultry Research Council (CPRC). That group and its industry partners will add $759,000 for the research. The
council represents poultry industry organizations across the country. It will work with federal and provincial governments, universities and industry groups to address key priorities, such as vaccines to protect birds and people from diseases such as salmonella and avian influenza. “This investment pulls together the best and brightest poultry scientists to help improve
the competitiveness and sustainability of poultry farming,” said Fast. “This research will enhance production methods and foster innovation for highquality products for consumers.” The Fraser Valley produces 98 per cent of the turkey and 87 per cent of the broiler chickens raised in B.C. About half of the Valley poultry production is located in Abbotsford.

Someone cut away the portion of Chester Thornton’s sign that carried the cartoon figure above.
Construction babe goes missing, presumed ogled Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
Chester Thornton doesn’t know whether to call it a theft, a kidnapping or a case of love sickness. But however you define it, someone has made off with his girl. Thornton had an artist create a set of unique signs to
point the way to his Lowland gravel pit on Quadling Road. A prominent part of the artwork was a voluptuous gal wearing skimpy construction clothing. The sign went up last Friday. By Monday, the gal had been cut off. Thornton, who runs Chet Construction (1976), said he had the signs made to attract

attention as well as guide people to the pit. According to Thornton, he asked the artist – Jason Hoffman – to base the figure on the character of Jessica Rabbit from the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Whoever stole the girl was well organized. The culprit had to saw through four feet of three-quarterinch plywood and remove the steel bolts
holding it – all in the dark. “They didn’t take the whole sign, just the girl.” Thornton is having a replacement made, but if another girl goes missing, he said the next sign will be made of steel. Thornton said he still isn’t sure if it’s a prank or a theft so until the girl shows up, he’ll consider her missing and presumed ogled.

The first words Chris McGraa ever said to Julie were, “You look like a clown.” That was eight years ago, in the couple’s Grade 9 English class at MEI. When the teacher asked them to stand before their classmates in a public speaking showdown, and Julie was gaining the edge, it was Chris who stole the spotlight with those choice words, which he blurted out to throw her off balance. Julie was shocked, but it got her attention. They became friends, then a couple, and then got married at 19. The McGraas have been inseparable ever since, and now have entered an international contest to become the World’s Best Couple.

How will they win? “It’s pretty much a popularity contest,” said Julie, who has been monitoring the website to see how she and her husband are doing. Depending on how many votes they get from the public, they could find themselves in the final six when
a panel of judges will decide if they are worthy of the big rock. Along with couples from the U.S., New Zealand, Australia and across Canada, the McGraas are taking three challenges each week involving writing, photos and video that showcase their love story.

are recently ranked 43rd. Theirs is a classic story of forbidden love. Julie is the oldest of four children who come from a very traditional family, originally from the Punjab region of India. Dating Chris in high school was therefore a challenge, since the two had to keep their relationship a secret. They could never be seen in public together in case word got back to her folks that there was anything more than friendship between them. For three years they kept up the ruse, but then her mom found some photos in her room. “I was torn between my love for my family and my love for my husband,” said Julie, who moved out after high school into Chris’s parents’ home. It was a rough few years after they got married, with strained relationships between Julie and her family, but she knew he was the one for her, and, as with any good love story, theirs has a happy ending. Today, the McGraas have a two-year old son, Lucas, and Julie has renewed relationships with her family members. She says she and Chris are not especially outgoing, so it’s been a challenge to post pictures of themselves online and drum up votes from friends and family. But if the McGraas win the diamond ring, Julie says it would change their lives. They live in a onebedroom basement suite with their son, dog and cat, and can’t afford their own place. A diamond would easily be converted into a down payment, so it’s worth the effort, she says. She has even sent a note to Ellen and Oprah, and says “If you don’t ask, then you can’t really expect anything to happen.” To vote for the McGraas, visit www. my22ct.ca and search for team Rock Our World. The World’s Best Couple contest runs Oct. 18 to Nov. 28.

Outdoor recreation in focus Do you use public trails, regional parks or other outdoor playgrounds? The Fraser Valley Regional District is hoping anyone who enjoys outdoor recreation will give a few minutes of their time this month. The FVRD is working with Metro Vancouver to develop a plan for outdoor recreational demands and trends, and they’ve created an online survey to target specific needs. The survey asks for general information, along with detailed information about what the types of outdoor activities you participate in, and exactly which large park areas you use, including Harrison area parks. It can be found at w w w. f v r d . b c . c a , under the heading Hot Topics.

The city is still waiting for test results on the material dredged from the Sumas River in September. Concerns regarding potentially high levels of asbestos in the sediment required workers to take more precautions, which included wearing full hazardous material suits while handling the dredged soil. “We have not received the sediment test results yet. They may still be a few more weeks. We received the air test results and
they came back negative,” said Tracy Kyle, Abbotsford’s director of water and solid waste. The dredged material was taken to the Valley Road landfill and covered with a clay cap to prevent it from drying out and blowing away. Human health risks from asbestos, including lung cancer, are restricted to airborne exposure. There are no known health risks associated with ingestion of asbestos. Kyle said extensive testing was done on the material as a precaution.

Volcano may get credit for immense salmon run Jeff NAGEL Black Press
Fraser River fishermen may have an Alaskan volcano to thank for this summer’s supercharged sockeye salmon run that ended up being the biggest in nearly a century. The eruption of Kasatochi, an Aleutian Island volcano, fertilized a vast area of the north Pacific Ocean by spewing out huge amounts of iron-rich ash, according to new research presented to the Cohen Commission into sockeye stocks. It’s one of the more intriguing ideas to arise in the hearings now underway in Vancouver. The judicial inquiry into the collapse of the 2009 sockeye run, when just over a million fish returned, has been forced to also try to make sense of why almost 30 times more sockeye came back this year. Kasatochi’s ash fell at precisely the right time in the summer of 2008 to create huge algae and plankton blooms that provided Fraser sockeye with a tremendously rich food source, researchers told the commission. “There was a massive increase,� Dr. David Welch testified last week. “It was a very large eruption.� Welch tabled satellite imagery of the ash plume and the resulting plankton bloom, which he said could well be responsible for the tremendous productivity of the Fraser sockeye run that came back this year. The run size is estimated at 34.5 million, although officials expect the final count to drop to around 29 million. Scientists stress there are many other factors that could have contributed to the unusual return. But the theory is a signal this summer’s

Also at issue in the inquiry is how far fishery managers should go in trying to protect the biodiversity of Fraser sockeye – essentially whether the weakest stocks should be sacrificed if strong runs returning to certain tributaries can sustain fishing. The commercial fleet is sometimes ordered to stop fishing to avoid endangering weak runs like Cultus Lake sockeye, which return intermingled with more abundant stocks like the Adams River run. SFU salmon expert Dr. John Reynolds warned B.C.’s wild sockeye may also be increasingly in competition for food with hatchery-raised salmon from Russia and Japan that also feed in the north Pacific. Reynolds said both countries are dramatically increasing hatchery production. The commission has hearings scheduled until late December.

Construction workers, trades and other industries related to home building are basking in a surge of new housing starts that has added thousands of jobs in the Lower Mainland. Metro Vancouver has recorded 12,584 home starts so far this year – nearly double what was admittedly a dismal 2009 in the depths of the recession. This year’s new home construction is estimated to support 35,235 full-time jobs, according to Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association CEO Peter Simpson. That’s at 22,000 more jobs than the industry generated in 2009, he said. “Everybody’s hiring,” Simpson said. “Not just on site, but at the manufacturing facilities that pro-
duce windows, doors, flooring and the other things that go into a home.” He conceded the construction industry still has a long way to go to reach the pre-recession building pace, when nearly 20,000 units a year were going up across the region. But Simpson said the numbers are going in the right direction. “There’s a mood of optimism in what’s happening,” he said. The Abbotsford area is up 40 per cent to 418 starts, and Chilliwack has 663 new homes started, up 114 per cent. The City of Vancouver leads with 3,409 starts so far this year (up 191 per cent from the same period of 2009), followed by Surrey at 3,058 (up 62 per cent), Richmond at 1,209 (up 105 per cent), Coquitlam at 1,047 (up 188 per cent) and Burnaby at 977 (up 63 per cent.) Uncertainty about the harmonized sales tax, which adds to the cost of the portion of new homes worth more than $525,000, is a factor for buyers. “They’re wondering whether the HST will be overturned with the referendum, so they’re very hesitant as to whether they want to buy now or wait.” But he said recordlow mortgage rates are also helping drive the market, adding borrowing costs may not be as cheap for those who wait and gamble that the HST will be scrapped. More than two-thirds of housing starts in Metro Vancouver so far this year are units in multi-family projects, according to new statistics from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. CMHC senior market analyst Robyn Adamache said more than half the new townhouses started in the region in October were in Surrey and Langley, while the bulk of new homes with secondary suites are in Vancouver and Coquitlam.

Music runs in their family Mother/daughter duo perform at the Reach Kerrie-Ann SCHOENIT Abbotsford News
Performing has turned into a family affair for the Jardines. The mother-daughter act from Richmond share a love for music and songwriting, which sparked the creation of the alternative country roots duo in February this year. “It’s been a great experiment,” said Cherelle Jardine, who with her 20-year-old daughter Ajaye released their first album together, titled The Jardines, during the Olympic Winter Games. “We’ve become closer and we’re learning about each other on a whole new level.” Since releasing their self-titled CD, the pair have been promoting their music at several local venues including the Vancouver East Cultural Centre, The Yale and Steveston Salmon Festival. They’ve also been booked for a new festival in Salmon Arm next July called Stugis North. While Cherelle has released four

Everybody’s gone through similar experiences at different times. Song writing is a very good way to reach out to people and say ‘Hey, I’ve been through this too.’” The duo has a handful of upcoming shows at local venues. The Jardines will be in Abbotsford on Nov. 26 for a performance at The Reach. Ajaye and Cherelle will open the show with new solo material, followed by a second set of music off the album. An eight-piece band will accompany their vocals with a variety of instruments including the fiddle, harmonica, dobro, pedal and lap steel guitar. Tickets to the show are $15, or $12 for students, at The Reach. Doors open at 7 p.m. For more information, visit www.thejardinesband.com.

On the Fast track
Heat pick up ex-NHLer Laing
Soccer player caps concussion comeback by winning skills contest in England Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
On its own merit, Lucas Fast’s victory at the Bolton Wanderers’ Grand Skills Final is an amazing accomplishment. The 14-year-old Abbotsford soccer player was one of 42 talented teens from around the world who traveled to the English Premier League club’s headquarters in late October to compete in a skills competition. Fast not only won the contest, he was also named man of the match when the Grand Skills campers took on Bolton’s International Academy in a game on the final day of the three-day event. But even more impressive is the fact that Fast was able to participate at all. Two years ago, during a game at the under-13 level, he went up for a header and had a violent headto-head collision with an opponent. The youngster suffered a severe concussion, and his fledgling soccer career was left hanging in the balance. “There was a lot of discussion that maybe Lucas would never play soccer again,” said Rick Fast, Lucas’s father. In the wake of the injury, Fast’s headaches were so severe, he had to drop out of school. Soccer was out of the question – a devastating turn of events for an athlete who would spend hours on end dribbling the ball with his feet and knees, honing his control. “It was a very hard time for me.” Fast said. “If I did anything, even socializing, I got a really bad headache. So I had to stay at home.” Fast and his family explored every avenue to shake the concussion symptoms, trying acupuncture, massage therapy, and psychological training. After more than a year of persistent headaches, the fog finally lifted. As the symptoms began to clear, Fast enlisted the help of Abbotsford Soccer Association head coach Ian Knight for one-on-one sessions to rebuild his skill and fitness.
The first time Knight and Fast got together, the youngster couldn’t do any more than 20 minutes of light jogging and ball-passing. It took more than a year to build up to high-intensity two-hour sessions. “It was a case of really going back and learning to walk again,” Knight said. “Some sessions, I’m sure he would call me a few names under his breath on the way home. “But all in all, he was a great kid to work with. The commitment the boy has given to his own personal development speaks volumes about his character.” Fast, a centre back, finally returned to team soccer in the spring of 2010. He also attended a mini-camp hosted by Bolton FC in Chilliwack, winning the skills contest and earning an invitation to the Grand Skills Final in England. Fast competed against athletes from Australia, Spain, the United States, Japan, Korea, Iceland, India and Egypt – among other places – in a series of soccer drills and physical tests. In one drill, players had to keep the ball airborne using their knees and feet while running back and forth over a 10-metre distance as many times as possible. Fast made an eye-popping 13 trips back and forth, one of the best scores ever recorded at the camp. Remarkably, Fast’s triumph at the Bolton Grand Skills marked the second year in a row an Abbotsford player won the contest. In 2009, JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News Grant Fadden was the winner. After rebuilding his game following a devastating concussion, Continued on A26 Lucas Fast won the Bolton Wanderers’ Grand Skills Final.
The Abbotsford Heat made a move to add some experience to the roster on Wednesday, signing NHL veteran Quintin Laing to a player tryout contract (PTO). The Heat summoned Laing, a Harris, Sask. native, from the ECHL’s Victoria Salmon Kings. Laing had signed with Victoria in late October, and posted one assist in four ECHL games. Laing, 31, immediately LAING becomes the most senior player on the AHL’s youngest team. Matt Keith, at age 27, had previously been the Heat’s elder statesman. Laing spent the bulk of last season in the NHL with the Washington Capitals, notching two goals and two assists while suiting up for 36 games with the Caps. The left winger has 79 NHL games on his resumé with Washington and the Chicago Blackhawks. Laing played his WHL hockey for the Kelowna Rockets, and has twice surpassed the 40-point plateau at the AHL level – in 2005-06 with the Norfolk Admirals, and in 2006-07 with the Hershey Bears. He brings with him a reputation as a gritty, heart-andsoul player. In 2008, he was the Capitals’ nominee for the Bill Masterton Trophy, which goes to the NHL player who best exemplifies perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.

Breast Friends Dragon Boat Racing Team
On Sunday, October 3, the Abbotsford–Fraser Valley run site contributed $291,033 to a nationwide total of over $33 million to fund relevant and innovative breast cancer research.
The University of the Fraser Valley women’s soccer team ensured it will play for a medal at CIS nationals in Charlottetown, PEI, defeating the Laval Rouge et Or 2-0 in the quarter-finals on Thursday. After a scoreless opening half, Cascades rookie defender Caitlin Blondin opened the scoring in
the 65th minute, converting a free kick from just outside the penalty area. Danielle de Bruin added an insura n c e marker in the 85th minute off a corner, while goalie Chantelle Biagioni posted the clean sheet.
Striker Carly Neeson was named player of the match. The Cascades move on to face the Queen’s G o l d e n Gaels, the Ontario silver medallists, in the semifinals at 9 a.m. Pacific time on Saturday. “We have a long way
to go, but I am very proud of the team,� Cascades head coach Rob Giesbrecht said. “The team did a fantastic job of adjusting to the weather, wind and any Laval tactics. “Caitlin and (defender) Lyndsay (Munro) were solid in the back and Chantelle was a great leader behind the back four.�

PENNER, Hilda Hilda Penner nee Friesen was born on May 11, 1927 in Hochstadt, Manitoba, to John P. & Maria (Loewen) Friesen. She was the third of 9 children. They lived in Manitoba, and Alberta before moving to the Fraser Valley, B.C. in 1941. Here they enjoyed family and extended family (lots of cousins, aunts and uncles). She worked in Harrison Hot Springs where she met Florence Brent who taught her guitar, which became a life-long passion. Many hours were spent singing and playing. While working in the hop yards she met and fell in love with Bill Penner and after he returned from military service they were married in 1946. They lived in Mission, where they were baptized and fellowshipped in the Baptist Church and where daughter Sharon was born. They moved and lived briefly to Arnold, and finally to Abbotsford, where daughter Doreen was born. Hilda worked at many shops as a cashier. Hilda enjoyed visiting with family and friends the best. She also had a passion for gardening. Bill and Hilda spent time fishing and camping and enjoying the outdoors. Bill passed away in 2004. Hilda attended the Arnold MB Church until, in 2005, Hilda suffered a stroke and was unable to drive. She lived independently with some assistance for 3 years, until authorities forced her into long term care, where her condition deteriorated rapidly. In late October her health took a turn for the worse and she passed away at 1:30 pm November 9th, 2010. She was predeceased by her parents, husband Bill, sisters: Adina, Elizabeth and Erika, and brother Fred. She leaves to mourn Sharon (Andy), Doreen (Michael) and grandchildren Michelle (Phil) & Christopher (Katrina); Sisters, Mary Penner, Freda (Hank) Friesen, Susie (Dave) Friesen, Elsie (Bob) Ewert and many nieces & nephews.

Sikhism believes in Gurbani Doctrine (Teachings of the Sikh Holy Book) and bows before Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji (SGGS) (The Sikh Holy Book) as a mark of obedience, authenticity and truthfulness. In Sikhism, a funeral ceremony is called “Antam Sanskaar,” or celebration of the completion of life. Rather than being sorrowful, in the final moments of life, and at the time of passing, the Sikh family encourages their ailing loved one to focus on the divine, by reciting “Waheguru” meaning wonderful God or suitable passages of scripture. As per Gurbani, ‘swarg lok’ (Heaven) and ‘narak lok’ (Hell) does not exist. Guru (God) gives us birth on earth & calls us in death.
