garbage audit testified to the challenge facing the Abbotsford school district. As the City of Abbotsford prepares to rid its garbage trucks of organic materials by 2015, the school district – which uses a private contractor – is also looking to divert its compostable waste from landfills But the audit of a day’s worth

of trash by Godwin’s green team and mentors from Robert Bateman secondary showed most waste produced by students can be recycled or composted. In just 45 minutes, after the removal of organics, plastics, and other recyclables, a heaping pile of garbage had dwindled to just a fraction of its original size. The

results were in line with previous estimates that suggested more than 70 per cent of all school district trash could be diverted from landfills. The district has engaged a contractor at seven local schools to begin collecting compostables this

The Matsqui transfer station, which is used by the city of Abbotsford for disposal of garbage, is included in the ban on food waste. To prevent the city’s trucks from being fined, curbside garbage may not be collected if significant food waste is in garbage bags. Collection workers will initially give warnings for those with too much food waste in the garbage, but any ongoing or excessive amounts of organic waste may cause the garbage bags to be left behind.

Abbotsford residents will have to remove all organic waste from their garbage starting in January to comply with a Metro Vancouver ban on food waste. Compost was banned from the garbage with the introduction of Abbotsford’s new waste program, introduced in 2013. But as the Metro ban on organics at its transfer stations starts in the new year, fines will soon be in place for non-compliance. The Matsqui transfer station, which is used by the City of Abbotsford for disposal of garbage, is included in the ban. That means that any curbside garbage delivered to the transfer station with more than 25 per cent food waste by weight will result in a financial penalty to the city. Metro’s bylaw states that loads with too much food waste will be surcharged 50 per cent of the tipping fee. A typical penalty for an Abbotsford truckload would be $300.

In October, council voted to end the agreement with Metro when the current contract ends in November next year. In 2013, a waste and recycling audit was performed and found that Abbotsford’s curbside garbage contained 15 per cent recyclables, and 32 per cent compostables. Garbage made up 36 per cent. The next audit will be in the summer of 2015. Over 11,000 tonnes of food and yard waste were diverted through the compost program last year, up from 5,700 tonnes in 2012. The city already operates a curbside compost collection program, and yard waste and recycling are already banned from garbage. Special organic waste bins are available for residents who use the city program. The curbside compostable collection program includes food waste (meat, bones, vegetables, fruit, bread, dairy, tea bags, paper towels, etc.) and yard waste (leaves, weeds, branches, shrubs, etc.).

Board of education sworn into office

Abbotsford News

Despite a challenging year, the Abbotsford school district and board of education have many successes to celebrate, said Trustee Cindy Schafer on Tuesday evening during her inaugural address as board chair. Schafer said the district should be proud

of the achievements of its students, teachers, support staff and administrators. “We will continue to do our best to provide the finest educational opportunities we can – for every student,” she said. Schafer was speaking at Abbotsford Senior Secondary during the inaugural meeting of the board of education voted in during

November’s municipal election. Schafer, who has been a trustee for nine years – six of them as board chair – was again elected as chair for the next year, with Trustee Shirley Wilson elected vice-chair. The evening included the seven trustees taking their oath of office, overseen by Judge Ken Skilnick.

The 2014-18 board of education consists of five trustees returning to office: Schafer, Wilson, Rhonda Pauls, Stan Petersen and Preet Rai. Two new faces also join the board: Freddy Latham and Phil Anderson. The evening also included some festive songs performed by the Grade 4 choir from the

North Poplar campus of Abbotsford School of Integrated Arts. In her speech, Schafer said the board will continue to stay focused on its “strategic direction and student achievement.” She said highlights from the past year include a revised strategic plan for the district; a balanced budget; the release of

the “Community in Schools” review, which included highlighting areas to improve services to families; and a comprehensive strategy to support young students. Schafer also noted achievements that included Abbotsford’s graduation rate hitting 90 per cent for the first time, the district being one of only of 12

in Canada to receive the College Board’s AP Honour Roll distinction, and outstanding successes by students in sports, academics and the arts. “We occasionally hear concerns about public education and yet it is our experience that there is so much to celebrate within the Abbotsford school district,” Schafer said.

December 12, 2014 Christmas Wrapping Paper is Not Recyclable

City Waste Collection during Extreme Winter Weather

When wrapping up presents, consider using re-useable gift bags, tins, shopping bags, a scarf, t-shirt or blanket as an alternative to wrapping paper. Christmas wrapping paper cannot be recycled, due to low quality paper and the number of contaminants. Blue bags containing wrapping paper will not be collected.

The City will make every attempt to collect curbside recycling, compostables and garbage during snow and ice conditions. However, safety is always the highest priority. If weather conditions pose too high of a risk, we will not be collecting and ask that you set out your materials on your next collection day. The usual container limits will be doubled for areas that have missed a collection day. On some occasions the City, or its contractor, may provide additional collection as soon as possible after the missed collection day. For more information, please visit www.abbotsford.ca or call 604-853-5485 regarding City pickup, or 604-864-5640 regarding Contractor pickup.

2015 Council Meeting Schedule At the December 1, 2014 Inaugural Meeting of Council, Council approved the 2015 Council Meeting Schedule. Council Meetings are generally scheduled to take place bi-weekly, on Mondays; and will be held in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium as follows: • Executive Committee Meetings will be held at 3:00 p.m.; • Public Hearings will be held at 7:00 pm; and • Regular Council Meetings will be held immediately following the Public Hearing. If there are no items for the Public Hearing agenda, the Regular Council Meeting will start at 7:00 pm. The complete 2015 Council Meeting Schedule is available on the City’s website, www.abbotsford.ca, under City Hall, Mayor & Council, Agendas and Meeting Schedule, or can be viewed on the Council Agenda Board in City Hall, 32315 South Fraser Way, during regular office hours, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays.

Snow & Ice Control The goal of the City’s Snow and Ice Control Program is to maintain travel routes where there is snow and ice on roads and restore mobility for the traveling public. Our roads are classified: • first priority (high volume and strategic arterial and collector roads, and major access roads to hillside areas); • second priority (remaining arterial, hillside areas and collector routes); and • third priority (remaining roadways not identified as first and second priority). First priority roads are maintained until conditions are under control subject to worker/equipment availability and weather. Only then are resources redirected to second priority routes and subsequently third priority routes. The City does not remove snow and ice to bare pavement conditions. The public is encouraged to use caution, and wherever possible, park vehicles off the streets. Abandoned vehicles or vehicles obstructing roadways will be towed without notice to allow for snow clearing operations to continue and towing costs will be the responsibility of the vehicle owners. We ask that you do not plow snow from private properties onto the public roadways as this can result in visibility hazards and obstructions and will require additional time for clearing roadways. The City will work 24 hour days until the snow ends and first priority routes are passable for travel. Additional information on our Snow and Ice Control Program can be found at www.abbotsford.ca/SIC. For more information, please contact the Engineering Operations Division at 604-853-5485.

Police send out annual Christmas card YOU ARE THE This year’s target group is at-risk youth Vikki HOPES Abbotsford Police

Young people who have made poor decisions will be among those receiving a festive message from the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) this year. The APD is sending out about 75 to 100 Christmas cards for the third consecutive year to people in the city “who have made poor choices which have negatively impacted themselves and the community,” said Const. Ian MacDonald. This year’s card depicts the door of a jail cell decorated for the holidays. A distraught man – with his head hung and his hands clasping the bars of the window – is also shown. The message states, “Deck the cells with boughs of holly.” The inside of the card states, “You hold the key to your future. Use it wisely.” A phone number is provided for a police hotline (604-864-4777) that anyone can call if they need assistance to change their life. “We want to encourage them to make better choices and for them to know that they have the ability to pick a constructive rather than destructive life path,” MacDonald said. He said the APD began working on the card about three months ago, and

Submitted

This is the Christmas card that the Abbotsford Police Department is sending out this year. was inspired to reach out to youth with whom police have had interactions. These include the two groups of young men involved in the ongoing Townline Hill conflict, which has included numerous incidents of vandalism and mischief, as well as assaults and arson.

MacDonald said police want to reach these people before they become hardened criminals. He said those who call the hotline will receive whatever support they need from the APD, including linking them with needed services. The APD first began the Christmas card program – called Operation Resolution – in 2012, when it distributed the cards to criminals and trouble-makers, including known gangsters. The project created wide controversy and international media attention when the card featured Police Chief Bob Rich dressed as Santa, carrying an assault rifle and wearing tactical gear. The message on the front of the card stated, “Which list will you be on this year?” Last year’s card was a sequel, showing Santa – Rich in disguise – writing the line “I will not play with guns” repeatedly on a chalkboard while Mrs. Clause watched over him. MacDonald said, in both 2012 and 2013, police received substantial positive feedback from recipients of the cards. He said some were a simple, “Thanks for the card,” while others reflected on the negative path their lives had taken and wished they had more positive influences early on.

Cyrus Centre hopes to raise $70,000 Abbotsford News

Cyrus Centre in Abbotsford is hoping to raise $70,000 through the holiday season to help support the programs and services it offers year-round. Executive director Les Talvio said the centre, which supports vulnerable and homeless youth, is in the same position as other local social service agencies such as the food bank and the Salvation Army: more demand for services with fewer resources to provide them. Talvio said Cyrus Centre took a big hit this year when it lost $30,000 in funding from Xyolhemeylh Child and Family Services to provide services for First Nations youth. He said people have less to give, and there’s much competition for those dollars. “People make their choices on where their money is

going, and we just hope they continue to support Cyrus Centre.” The centre, located at 2616 Ware St., offers services every day of the year such as an emergency shelter, a resource centre, counselling, hot meals, family support and employment coaching. It also runs Cyrus House, which provides a nurturing family environment to four kids under the age of 19 who cannot live with their own families. A married couple serves as the “house parents.” Talvio said the facility, which is the only youth shelter between Vancouver and the Okanagan, served about 25,000 hot meals this year, compared to 20,000 in 2013. Demand for services is constant, he said. “We’re definitely steady on a regular basis now. There doesn’t seem to be any down time.” The centre hosts a Christmas Day dinner, at

APDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas card Well done, APD! And thank you all for taking on the impossible challenge of trying to keep everyone safe in our city! Gerry Hiebert I liked their 2012 card more, but I like this one too. I think its a great idea to send these out. If even one youth changes their path because of it, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already a success. Geoffrey Halliday I am so glad that Abby PD works so hard in the community to try and reach at risk youth. A sad sidenote: Inmates are not allowed to display decorations in their cells as it is against the fire code, so this picture is even sadder than depicted. Jail is definitely not the place you want to ever be, let alone over the holidays! Chrystal Susut-Veltman Great card again. Well done. Gerry Ennis

The Abbotsford branch of the Royal Canadian Legion this year raised about $55,000 from its poppy campaign. Branch president Geoff Hosking said this amount is about $3,000 higher than last year, which he attributes in part to the outpouring of support following the killings of two soldiers in Ontario and Quebec in October. Attendance was also up considerably at Remembrance Day ceremonies in Abbotsford on Nov. 11. Hosking said the crowd was estimated to be 3,000 – double the usual attendance. Money raised from the sale of poppy pins goes into a fund to support veterans with costs such as hearing aids and eyeglasses. It also provides bursaries for their family members and helps support local army and air cadets. The money raised in Abbotsford stays in the community.

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford man who previously served a prison term for a drug offence has been charged with the January 2014 murder of a Surrey man. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced yesterday that Randeep Singh Match, 33, was arrested in Abbotsford on Wednesday and charged with seconddegree murder. The body of Tarsem (Shane) Singh Dhaliwal, 36, was found Jan. 21 in a vehicle in the 18900 block of 92nd Avenue in the Port Kells area of Surrey. It was the city’s first homicide of the year. Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound of IHIT said police cannot at this time discuss the motive for the killing, although she said the victim and the accused

knew each other and the attack was targeted. The cause of death has also not been released by police. Match and another Abbotsford man, Manindervir Virk, were sentenced in September 2012 to five and a half years in prison after being convicted of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The pair were arrested three years earlier after being spotted by the Air One police helicopter running through a berry field in the area of Mt. Lehman Road and Zero Avenue – along the Canada-U.S. border. Officers dispatched to the scene found Match and Virk hiding in some bushes, and discovered four duffel bags filled with 40 bricks of cocaine valued at between $1.4 and $2 million.

This week’s wacky weather toppled records and trees in Abbotsford and beyond. According to Environment Canada, the mercury at Abbotsford International Airport reached 17 C at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, blowing away Dec. 9’s 58-year-old record of 13.3 C set in 1956. The average was 6.2 C. Wednesday was even warmer, with the temperature climbing to 17.8 C, breaking the Dec. 10 record of 15.7 C set in 1993.

Wednesday also came within less than half a degree of matching the all-time record high for December. That record was set at 18.2 C on Boxing Day of 1980. Abbotsford also saw strong winds, with gusts reaching 70 km/h on Tuesday and 56 km/h on Wednesday. On Matsqui Prairie, stiff winds Tuesday broke branches and knocked down trees, including 150-foot-plus tree off Kelleher Street. A neighbour said the tree

made a sound “like lightning” when it broke at the base and toppled into an adjacent field, its rotten branches shattering from the impact of the fall. If the tree had fallen in the opposite direction, it would have taken out a horse paddock, and several fences. Environment Canada attributed the warm weather to an intense jet stream over the Pacific Ocean and a strong frontal system that stalled in its movement over the South Coast.

Murder suspect back in the U.S.

Christopher Shade returned after stint in B.C. Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

One of two U.S. murder suspects arrested in Abbotsford in September has now been returned to his home country. Christopher John Shade, 18, was moved to King County Correctional Facility in Seattle, SHADE Wash., on Dec. 4, according to online records. His bail has been set at $2 million. Shade and co-accused Kevin David Patterson, 20, were each charged in September with the murder of Richard Bergesen, 57, who was found dead in his Sammamish, Wash., home on Sept. 17. Shade and Patterson are accused of using shovels to bludgeon Bergesen to death. The pair then allegedly stole the victim’s credit cards and 2013 BMW 328 sedan and fled to Canada, driving under a barbed wire fence on a road north of Spokane. The two were arrested later that day at a hotel in Abbotsford after U.S. authorities tracked the BMW from the vehicle’s GPS device. They have been in custody ever since. Patterson, who has dual U.S.-Canadian citizenship, remains in B.C. In addition to the murder charge, Shade and Patterson also face charges in the U.S. of robbery in the first degree and theft of a motor vehicle. Continued on A16

Dear Chef Dez: I noticed that many Chefs on TV use a flat grater that lies across a bowl to remove zest from citrus fruits. Is the best way to do this? Charlotte E., Surrey, BC Dear Charlotte: I actually recommend using a “zester”. It is a hand tool that has five little circular blades at the end. When it is dragged across a citrus fruit, it produces beautiful curls of zest while leaving the bitter pith behind. Although flat graters remove the zest in small bits, and thus prevent further chopping, there is no guarantee that one will not grate too far into the bitter white pith. Besides, the curls of zest make great garnish! Chef Dez is a Food Columnist, Culinary Instructor & Cookbook Author. Visit him at: www.chefdez.com. Write to him at: dez@chefdez.com or P.O.

Kitchen Gadgets & Appliances Due to a couple of revelations I have had with my food processor recently, I thought it would be appropriate to focus this column on kitchen gadgets and appliances that I find worthy. Also with the holiday season approaching, you find these recommendations helpful. I usually opt for the manual alternative to kitchen prep — old-fashioned cutting by hand and elbow grease — but sometimes it is not always the best way. Recently, my wife wanted to make a dish from her childhood that basically consists of layers of thinly sliced potatoes, carrots, and other vegetables. These ingredients along with seasonings and chunks of sausage are cooked together to create a single pot casserole. When it came time to prepare this dish, the die-hard Chef in me reached for my knife, readying myself for the task at hand. “Why don’t we use the slicer attachment on our food processor?” exclaimed my wife. After some convincing, I decided to give it a try and was quite impressed with the uniform slices and ease of preparation. To be honest it was the first time in the 15 years that I owned this food processor that I actually used the slicer attachment. I have also discovered (with subtle pressuring from my wife) that the regular blade of a food processor can also ease the preparation of finely chopping vegetables, as long as caution is used to prevent from pureeing them into oblivion. A hand-powered kitchen appliance that I love is my allin-one apple peeler, corer and slicer. A lip on the edge of one’s counter is not necessary as it simply suctions to the surface with amazing strength. A single apple is pressed onto the hand-crank and all of these tasks are completed

with a number of circular revolutions - perfect to speed up pie/crumble making. And the best part is that I purchased mine in brand new condition at a second hand store for only five dollars. For small hand tool gadgets, there are a few that I simply cannot (or more correctly, would rather not) live without. Olive Pitter: This tool resembles a pair of spring-loaded pliers. It has a circular base to hold an olive on one of the ends, and a prod on the other. When squeezed together, the prod inserts into the olive and pushes the pit through the opposite side. It works great on cherries too. Garlic Press: I have gone through many poorly made garlic presses in the past, but there is one brand that has never let me down. I highly recommend the Switzerland made “Zyliss” brand. I have literally crushed thousands of cloves with this brand, for the past six years, without fail. Melon Baller: Great for its intended purpose of creating bite-size balls of melon, but works just as well on cheeses and an assortment of fruits and vegetables. Caramelized balls of potato, for example, makes for an appealing side dish. Although I do tend to be a bit stubborn when it comes to letting go of my knife skills for a gadget or appliance, the time saved in these circumstances is well worth the loss of Chef’s pride.

Second suspect remains in Canada From A15

In Canada, they were both charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000. With his move back to the U.S., that charge has been dropped against Shade, who apparently hails from Texas. Patterson’s next court appearance for that offence is scheduled for Dec. 16 in Abbotsford provincial

court. U.S. authorities are still working on extraditing Patterson to the U.S. Court documents indicate that Patterson was homeless at the time he met Bergesen, a manager at Boeing, through a church pastor. Bergesen offered Patterson a place to stay about a year ago and helped him take other positive steps in his life, according to the documents.

B.C.’s chief coroner is warning drivers and walkers to take extra care after five elderly pedestrians were killed in intersections in a span of 11 days. Barb McLintock said two of the deaths happened in Vancouver and there have been one each in New Westminster, Kelowna and Oliver between Nov. 23 and Dec. 3. In four of the five cases, the pedestrians – who ranged in age from 73 to 87 – were struck by vehicles making left-hand turns. In the fifth case, the vehicle was going straight through the intersection. A review by the B.C. Coroners Service of 142 similar fatalities from 2010-2012 showed seniors over age 70 are more than twice as likely as any other age group to die in a pedestrian incident. It also showed that in cases where pedestrians were crossing at an intersection on a green light, more than two-thirds of the drivers who struck them were making a left-hand turn. “The need for extra care increases in the winter months when longer hours

of darkness and frequent poor road and weather conditions lead to an increased

YOU and the LAW JUDGE VS. JURY: DECISIONS DIFFER IN INJURY CASES In general, people have the right to a jury trial in personal injury cases. Jury decisions often differ from how a judge would have decided. Take James S’s case. He suffered a whiplash type of injury in a car accident. He was off work for four weeks, attended a pain clinic, and 2½ years after the accident, had surgery to relieve pressure from a resulting “thoracic outlet syndrome.” He was left with a permanent partial disability, caused by headaches and back and shoulder pain.

The chief judge disagreed.

He said that if a plaintiff appeals on the ground that the jury award is too low, the defendant can argue that’s because the jury “must not have believed the plaintiff” and the award “reflects the jury’s [negative] view of the plaintiff’s credibility.” So the defendant can argue that the appeal court shouldn’t intervene. And that, in fact, is what often happens. When plaintiffs ask the BC Court of Appeal to increase an award for pain Stanley T. Cope and suffering, they fail about 80% of the time.

The defence asked for a trial by jury. The jury concluded James should get over $620,000 in compensation, which included $275,000 for pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. The defence then appealed the $275,000 part of the judgment as being too high.

The BC Court of Appeal can change a jury award if it “falls substantially beyond the upper or lower range of awards of damages set by trial judges in the same class of case.” Here, two of the three appeal court judges agreed that the range of damages for pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life in similiar injury cases is between $66,000 to $100,000. The jury’s award of $275,000 was considered “clearly anomalous and a wholly erroneous estimate of Mr. [S]’s loss.” However, a unique factor in James’s case was that, due to his injuries, he faced being unable to work at the job he’d loved doing for 25 years on a ranch. The loss of his work and lifestyle on the ranch were extremely significant. The majority of the appeal court thus decided that a reasonable award for James’s pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life was $175,000 (still $100,000 less than the jury’s award).

But if the defendant appeals on the ground that the jury award is too high, things are different. “By opting for a jury trial,” said the chief judge, “the defence may anticipate an award that is within the range a judge alone would have made, or less; but if the award is much higher than the range of judge alone awards, the defence can come to this Court to seek a reduction. It is a kind of ‘win win’ equation for the defence, and has the appearance of unfairness.” The chief judge said he would not have changed the jury’s decision. Awarding damages for pain and suffering isn’t a precise science. Juries sometimes decide matters differently from judges (and different judges also differ from each other on appropriate damages). A good lawyer will help ensure you get the best compensation possible within an appropriate range – regardless of whether a judge or jury decides the case.

Diesel stays stubbornly high amid crude oil drop Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Pity the diesel truck owner. While regular gasoline prices have dropped significantly with plunging oil prices, the pump price for diesel has remained stubbornly high. Diesel is now averaging $1.38 per litre in Metro Vancouver, down just eight per cent from its summer peak, while gas has fallen 25 per cent to $1.15 in the city. Early 2009 – when diesel was 85 cents a litre and gas was nearly $1 – is the last time diesel drivers enjoyed big savings. The price gap closed and since 2012 diesel has cost a few cents a litre more than gas most of the time, according to statistics maintained by petroleum industry analysts MJ Ervin and Associates. For the last three years, diesel has been stuck between $1.30 and $1.50 in Vancouver, costing a few cents more than regular gas for most of that time. Jason Parent, vicepresident of consulting at MJ Ervin, says the reason for the disparity is diesel and gasoline are two very different commodities that don’t move together in lockstep. “They each have their own supply and demand fundamentals and they can move in different directions.” Unlike gasoline, which jumps in price towards summer as more drivers hit the road, diesel tends to rise in the winter. The reason, Parent said, is diesel is virtually identical to heating oil, which is in high demand to heat homes in the winter. “In the winter season when it gets colder, demand for heating oil spikes and that causes a demand pull on both heating oil prices and diesel prices.” The drop in crude oil prices has put downward pressure on diesel, he said, but that has been largely offset by the increase in winter demand – much to the irritation of diesel users. “The guys who use diesel are all wondering why they’re not seeing the same benefit as everyone else.” Whittall said he has difficulty believing Parent’s explanation. He said diesel prices never seem to budge, no matter if it’s summer, winter or crude oil prices are collapsing. Parent says plunging

crude oil prices may be close to a bottom, meaning B.C. motorists shouldn’t expect gasoline prices to fall much further. Valley gas

prices hovered around $1.05 per litre for the past week, markedly down from early this summer, when prices reached into the $1.40

range. Parent said there may be room for gasoline prices to drop a little more at the pumps as a result of crude’s fall, but not a huge

amount. Crude oil had run at more than US $100 a barrel for the first half of the year before falling 35 per cent to less

than $70. Crude’s decline turned into a nose dive last week when the OPEC cartel announced it wouldn’t cut production to prop up oil pric-

es, creating the spectre of a global supply glut and protracted low prices that could force some energy firms out of business.

Abbotsford band Malk will release its latest EP on Saturday, Dec. 13. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EP, titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prehistoric,â&#x20AC;? is being released by the Burger Records subsidiary label Wiener Records. Malk was recently featured in Discorder and Beatroute BC magazines and will compete inÂ the semifinals of CiTR Radioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battle of the bands contest, Shindig, on Jan. 20, with the finals taking place in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shindig has really helped us generate some momentum,â&#x20AC;&#x153; said lead guitarist Kyle Schick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honour to compete at such a long-standing institution of the Vancouver music scene.â&#x20AC;? Malk hopes to get plenty of mileage out of the Prehistoric EP, which was recorded by Felix Fung of Little Red Sounds.

Submitted

The Abbotsford band Malk releases an EP on Saturday, Dec. 13 and hosts two release shows. They have been busy doing a campus radio mail-out campaign while preparingÂ for two release shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Malk didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to choose between Vancouver and Abbotsford for the release show,â&#x20AC;? said guitarist and vocalist Alex Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we chose to go big in both cities with stacked bills.â&#x20AC;? At the Vancouver show, Malk will share the stage with Crystal Swells, Hermetic and Dead Soft on Friday, Dec. 12 at music venue 333 on Dunsmuir

Street. At the Abbotsford release show, Malk will share the stage with Kin, Blessed and Middle of Nowhere at Aftermath at University of the Fraser Valley on Saturday Dec. 20. At both shows, the Prehistoric EP will be available on cassette along with a digital download. The EP will be also be available online at malkband.bandcamp.com and at select record stores such Free Wheelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Abbotsford.

UFV geography grad featured in Maclean’s or so and get my GIS certificate, too.” That extra accreditation helped him land the GIS job at West Fraser Timber in Williams Lake, where he makes maps with computer software while keeping tabs on timber inventory. Huesken wasn’t sure if he was being pranked when Maclean’s first came calling. “When they flew a photographer from Vancouver to Williams

Lake I knew it was real,” he said. The photographer’s visit caused quite a stir in his usually quiet office, leading a new nickname: Mr. Maclean’s. As a member of the UFV Geography Undergraduate Society, he earned the Doug Nicol annual geography department scholarship while in his final year in the geography program in 2012,

and was that year’s UFV Undergraduate Research Excellence Award (UREA) winner for geography for his work in the Luminescence Dating Laboratory. In 2012, Huesken was also awarded a prestigious NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) to conduct further research in the Luminescence Dating Laboratory.

As a University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) student, Daniel Huesken was a hard-studying tree planter. Nowadays, the 27-year-old UFV Geography alumnus is better known as Mr. Maclean’s. Pictured punching GPS co-ordinates while perched above a topographical map of B.C.’s Interior forest district, Huesken is featured prominently in Maclean’s magazine’s 2015 Guide to Jobs in Canada — an annual publication aimed at helping youth make ‘informed decisions about post-secondary education and career choices, from hot jobs to jobs of the future’. Working as a geographic information systems (GIS) technician, Huesken was selected by Maclean’s partially because he opened more doors by extending his education to include UFV’s GIS certificate. Halfway through his degree, Huesken realized he’d coincidentally accumulated several credits towards GIS completion. “I figured I might as well extend my education by a semester

Abbotsford’s Sidhu family, who are in the Canuck Place program, were in attendance along with a number of other children and families.

$40,000 in funds for trades programs Apprenticeship programs will continue in Abbotsford School District as the district is one of 26 in B.C. to receive funding from the Industry Training Authority (ITA). A $40,000 grant will help fund the district Secondary School Apprenticeship (SSA) Program for the 2014/15 school year, a dual-credit program that allows students who are 15 years of age and over, in Grades 10, 11, or 12, to begin the work-based training component of an apprenticeship program while still in high school. “By matching apprentices with potential employers, this program gives students the opportunity to explore a trade and decide if it is the right fit for them,” said Abbotsford-Mission MLA Simon Gibson. Through SSA programs, students “earn while they learn,” receiving credit toward both a high school diploma and an apprenticeship. In 2013/14, there were 952 new students registered in SSA programs across B.C., representing a 7.5 per cent increase from the previous school year. As of Oct. 31, 2014, there are a total of 1,732 youth apprentices registered in SSA programs in the province. ITA’s youth programs focus on awareness building, practical work experience, and apprenticeship technical training. For more information on the youth programs ITA offers, go to www. itabc.ca/youth.

Doctors reach deal on pay B.C.’s 10,000 doctors and specialists will get a 5.5 per cent increase in their fees and incentives over five years under a new agreement with the provincial government. The new physician master agreement is also expected to give doctors more say in helping design health care system reforms within health authorities. The increases in compensation and incentives for B.C.’s mostly fee-for-service doctors are expected to cost the province an extra $216 million over five years. Another $143 million is earmarked for recruiting new doctors, retaining existing ones in challenging areas, ensuring better access to family physicians and primary health care.

Slow down, move over Motorists in B.C. will be required to slow down and switch lanes to give more room to any vehicle they encounter with flashing red, blue or yellow lights under a regulation change taking effect Jan. 1. The Slow Down Move Over rule previously only applied to “official vehicles” like emergency responders, tow trucks, park rangers and conservation officers. The simplified rule will also apply to all other vehicles with those flashing lights – including those operated by highway maintenance workers, surveyors, garbage collectors and animal control workers – reducing the risk of those workers being hit by passing vehicles. When those vehicles are present, drivers must slow to 70 km/h when in an 80 or higher zone, or 40 km/h in an under-80 zone. On multi-lane roads, drivers are to switch lanes where safe to do so to give more room. Violators face a $173 ticket and three penalty points.

At this time of the year we focus indoors and often to do reno projects. However, my experience over the years is that it’s very important to look into what requires a permit and what does not. The reason being is that no matter how nice the reno will look or turn out, when it comes time to sell Buyers will inevitably ask ‘Was a permit taken out?’ To know what the guidelines are, go to the City of Abbotsford website and go to the Building Permit FAQs for what does or doesn’t require a permit. This will save a lot of scrambling and hassles later.

Well folks, I originally started selling farms and ranches many years ago, in 1979, and was lucky to be joined by my son for the last 14 years. We do all kinds of farms! We know them and it is our love to see agriculture continue, wether it is in the valley or the 100 Mile House Area. Having lived on a farm our whole life with a strong University background in agriculture we get the job done. We offer the best of advertising, pictorial promotions, websites, and overseas promotions. We try to keep in touch with the latest municipal, provincial, and federal changes, which will encourage the new farmer starting out.

Give us a call. Josh Carlson

In the 10 years Dale Gatin has coached and operated the Mission Boxing Club, his goal has always been to produce quality kids and quality boxers. The sport changed his life at an early age, and Gatin wants to make sure the present generation is given the same opportunity he was. “My vision is to help the kids in the community, help them with their confidence and their self-esteem and get them on the right road,” he says. In the years Gatin has spent coaching, he’s trained six national champions, a Canada Games medallist, and golden gloves and silver gloves winners. Now he’s partnering with Abbotsford’s Mamba Martial Arts

Boxers Owen Bergen (left) and Carson Dyck (right) are students of Dale Gatin (middle). Academy to bring the renamed Abbotsford Mission Boxing Club to a new venue and a new city. Gatin is offering youth and adult classes at the academy on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The boxing club is a nonprofit with grants available for kids unable to pay the regular training fees.

Some of the Abbotsford Mission Boxing Club’s most enthusiastic advocates are its current students. Owen Bergen, 17, and brother Carson Dyck, 13, have trained with Gatin for more than three years in Mission and each have around 10 amateur fights under their belts. “[Gatin] looks after everybody,” says

Bergen. “He’s taught me so much … when I first started I was just not fit at all, I was pretty sad to look at [laughs]. He changed a lot about me, gave me a lot of confidence, gave me a lot of self esteem.” Further info on the Abbotsford Mission Boxing Club can be found at www.missionboxing.com or 604-8261455.

10-pin returns to Abby

10-pin bowling is back courtesy of Brothers Bowling and Billiards, the new incarnation of the former Dogwood Bowling & Billiards at Five Corners on South Fraser Way. New owners, the Manuck family, are also new to the bowling business, but they’ve brought enthusiasm, skill… and numbers. Barry and Nancy

Manuck run Brothers, the only 10-pin bowling alley east of Maple Ridge, with their three sons, Shayne, Jeremy, and Steven, as well as several other relatives. The family has returned all 18 lanes to operation, and reinstated three weekly bowling leagues. On Tuesday nights is the seniors’ league, the ‘no-tap’ beer league plays Thursdays,

and a general league plays Sundays. The Manucks are also hoping to begin pool, darts, and pinball leagues once they’ve finished setting up the alley. The Manuck family have a long history with the bowling alley they now operate. Jeremy used to take his brothers bowling for surprise birthday parties. and Shayne took dates there

in high school. “Bowling is a classic hobby,” says Shayne, who loves the retro feel of the sport. He and his family are bringing 10pin back to Abbotsford, as well as providing the only billiards hall in the downtown. Brothers Bowling is located at 33550 South Fraser Way in Abbotsford.

Brothers Bowling and Billiards opened in November. Among its operators are (left to right) Jeremy, Barry and Shayne Manuck, as well as Katrina Edwards (front). PAUL ESAU Abbotsford News

Cascading wins for UFV Paul Esau Abbotsford News

UFV men’s basketball coach Adam Friesen has never in the history of his CIS coaching career had a team finish lower than fourth in the Canada West. He’s never lost a three-game playoff series, his alltime conference winloss ratio stands at .673 (35-17), and he’s never started a season with more than ten players on the roster, More importantly, Friesen’s Cascades are undefeated so far this

Key additions at forward and guard have rounded out the Cascades’ offence, providing the team with a far more balanced attack than previous incarnations. “All five guys on the floor can score,” said Friesen. “I think that’s the biggest similarity from that team [the 2012 Cascades] is that everyone on the court needs to be guarded.” The comparison to

No other team in the Canada West can boast a record close to what the Cascades have accomplished, and the rest of the CIS has started taken notice. When the first national coaches’ poll came out in October, UFV was nowhere to be seen, but now, eight wins later, the Cascades are ranked ninth in Canada. About time too. The squad is considerably deeper than it was last season when UFV finished tied for eighth na-

Dulay: ‘Sometimes you just have to trust coach’

From A43

the 2012 team is the obvious one, considering that squad, led by Kyle Grewal, Joel Friesen and Sam Freeman, finished fourth in the nation under previous

UFV coach Barnaby Craddock. What few now remember is that the legendary 2012 team wouldn’t even have made the Canada West Final Four if not for a desperation buzzer-

beater from Joel Friesen in the quarterfinals. The difference between success and failure in the competitive Canada West is often a single gamble Adam Friesen’s big-

gest gamble so far this season may have been switching Manny Dulay from his traditional role as shooting guard to point guard, and using Americantransfer Dominique

Brooks (a natural point) in a more forward role. While initially hesitant, Dulay has flourished in his new position. He’s learned to read the floor, runs a sweet pick-n-roll through Cascade for-

ward Nate Brown, and is currently ranked eighth among assist-leaders in the Canada West (4.1 per game). “Sometimes you just have to trust coach,” said Dulay, who played point

guard in high school but hadn’t expected to return to the position at the CIS level. Brooks has also flourished in his new role, shooting 47.6 per cent on the year from beyond the arc and averaging 13.2 points per game. The Cascades are putting up some impressive team stats as well, although the ones Friesen is most concerned about are the points they allow and the assists they accrue per game. UFV is currently the best defensive team in the Canada West, allowing an average of only 69.4 points against per game. They also average the second-highest number of assists with 16.8 per game. Friesen’s biggest challenge this year may be that too many of his players can produce, and many have had to scale back their shots and minutes to fit into a faster, deeper squad. “Some of the guys on our team could be scoring more points than they currently are, but that wouldn’t make us the best team we possible could be,” he says. Of course, thanks to the two-division schedule the Cascades won’t play many of the traditional Canada West powerhouses until the playoffs, giving those schools a little more time to prepare for Friesen, Dulay, Brooks and the rest of the team.

Earlier in the tournament, the Hawks defeated Kitsilano 67–56 and Samuel Robertson Technical 76– 31. Prav Gill and Chris Khotawanich were named to the all-star team.

Cars that are heavily styled can date

quickly. With this in mind, Hyundai has backed away from the fluid approach to a more sculpted design that shares some styling cues from the top-of-range Hyundai Genesis. The front features a squarer grille opening, edgier bumper and front chin-spoiler. The base model is fitted with the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine has and 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels with LED daytime running lights, halogen headlamps or HID lights on the limited trim. The performance oriented 2.0 Turbo Sport model, seen above, comes with a two-toned front spoiler, 18-inch wheels, standard HID headlamps, quad exhaust tips and a lower diffuser on the rear bumper. The top trim levels of both the 2.4L and 2.0 Sport have a blacked-out section of the front grille which signifies the car comes with adaptive cruise control and a forward collision warning system.

Verdict Hyundai has done it again, delivering a very attractive car, full of features, at an attractive price. 2.4L models range from $23,999 to $32,999 in the top Limited trim. This model has most of the features found in the top 2.0L turbo but without the added power. The base 2.0L turbo starts at $30,999 and the top Ultimate model, seen here, is $34,799. Both the Limited and Ultimate get the forward collision warning system and lane departure safety features, plus they also get adaptive cruise control. For 2015, the Sonata is a big step foreword in design. The added safety features will be attractive and the constant pushing-of-the-envelope from Hyundai is welcome. The Lowdown Power: 2.4L 185hp or 2.0L Turbo with 245hp Fill-up: 9.8L/6.7L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $23.999-$34,799 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Drive Both the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine and the 2.0L turbo have been carried over from the last model but they have been modified to produce better torque delivery and fuel economy. Hyundai has dropped the horsepower output from 198hp to 185hp in the 2.4L and limited the torque to 178hp. The 2.0L turbo also receives a horsepower drop from 274hp to 245hp and the torque drops from 268 lb.-ft to 160 lb.-ft. Hyundai claims that the torque is lower in the RPM range and the fuel consumption is improved. The experience behind the wheel of the turbo is still very invigorating but not as hectic as the last model, it delivers a more usable driving experience. Power is smooth and refined; the turbo feels like a V6 without the accompanying fuel bill.

A relaxing floatation device on four wheels by Alexandra Straub

Each morning, I wake up to my inbox clogged with a plethora of messages boasting of “great deals.” And while I swiftly send most to the trash, I often entertain the idea of not paying full price for a meal, or getting my mani/ pedi at a 75 per cent off, or occasionally splurging on a spa treatment. Not to mention yoga classes at a fraction of the cost. One message in particular from West Coast Float caught my eye recently and gave me an excuse

with me. Without going into too many details on the experience, I floated for 90 minutes in my private room. Note: do not rub your eyes! When it was all over, I was very relaxed. I am so glad the V60 T6 R-Design was the chariot home because I wanted the feeling of serenity to last as long as possible. The V60 certainly facilitated this state of being. Driving the 2015 V60 wagon can be likened to a floatation tank experience: but don’t

to take the Volvo V60 T6 R-Design wagon for a longer drive up to Whistler. The image that accompanied the text looked like something out of a Sci-Fi movie. There was this woman, floating in lagoon-blue water, in a rather interesting contraption. Beside it were words like “sensory deprivation,” “relaxation,” and “salt.” A colleague had mentioned to me in conversation about these float pods so I bought two sessions and brought along a friend to enjoy it

The smooth-revving 3.0L, turbocharged I-6 engine also helps sweeten the deal. With 325 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque being produced (with Polestar Performance software tuning), it’s no sleeper. It’s then linked with a six-speed Geartronic automatic transmission with advanced Quick Shift, and a Sport Mode Haldex electronically controlled all-wheel-drive with Instant Traction. I was hoping for some snow on the ground so I could play in it a little,

close your eyes and turn off the lights to enjoy the tranquility! It glides effortlessly and handles brilliantly in whatever environment I put it in. Thanks to the R-Design Sport chassis, which has been lowered 15 mm, and spring stiffness is 15 per cent higher compared with the Dynamic chassis in the standard V60. That said, it’s stiff in all the right places. The dynamic handling on the sinuous roads made me realize just how much I missed driving the Swedish brand’s vehicles.

but alas, my request was not answered. Maybe next time. The cabin offers a simplistic yet stylish setup – one that has been a common theme through the Volvos I’ve tested over the years – complete with Volvo’s “floating” centre stack. It’s sublimely quiet at highway speeds and because of its Climate Package ($1,350), I had such features as a heated steering wheel and a heated windshield, along with the standard heated front seats, to keep my body blissfully warm in

the sub zero temperatures. With room for five inside, a cargo area of 692 litres, and an overall impressive execution, I didn’t want to give this bright red wagon back. Though I wouldn’t call it a deal with a price as tested of $58,700 (then again, the base V60 T5 FWD starts at $38,900), it is the real deal: an incredible wagon that gives you all the pleasure of driving without the salt in your eyes. Just on the roads. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Hello winter, my old friend by Ian Harwood

The rain and windstorms have started and it won’t be long before the temperatures start to dip. Northern B.C. and the Interior have already experienced the cold. At the coast, it seems every year the first snowfall creates chaos and adjusting to the conditions is a big challenge for many people. That said, driving in the winter season generally presents more problems than driving in other seasons wherever you call home. The vehicle and the driver must be prepared as well as possible to cope with these kinds of driving

conditions. In winter driving, braking and stopping the vehicle, of course, cause the most difficult moments. The tires play a critical role in stopping the vehicle, and they need even more care and attention than in the other seasons. Most SUVs have a passenger car tire classification with M+S stamped on the sidewall, for Mud and Snow and are considered all-season tires. If it is not, your vehicle must be fitted with tires suitable for any type of climate, even the most severe ones. Continued on page 52

Tips for winter driving

Continued from page 50

In winter, the pressure of the tire must also be controlled more frequently. Contrary to popular opinion, a lower inflation pressure than normal does not improve tire traction on snow. It makes them much more liable to damage. Here is some advice to always bear in mind during winter driving conditions: Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in icy conditions. Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the pavement. Do not use the cruise control in winter conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to deactivate the cruise control feature can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Don’t get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle. Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster. Many 4x4 vehicles are heavier than passenger vehicles and actually may take longer to stop. Don’t get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle’s traction. Your 4x4 can lose traction as quickly as a two-wheel drive vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, do not pump them in attempting to stop. The right way is to step on the brake pedal and steer against the slide. Look further ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks will alert you more quickly to problems and give you a split second extra time to react safely. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Laura Irwin

Laura Margaret (Green) Irwin passed away peacefully on 10 December 2014 in Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Laura is survived by her Husband Charles Ross Irwin; her 4 children: Colleen (Dave) Porteous, Stewart (Taralee) Irwin, Maggie (Matt) Reno, Andrew (Paige) Irwin, and 14 grandchildren: William, Scott, Rachel, Rebecca, Braiden, Sam, Brighton, Alex, Jackson, Lydia, Cody, Sean, Mackay, and Brielle. She is also survived by her Brothers, Donald (Judy) Green and Lyle (Ardell) Green. Laura was born in April 1950 in Lethbridge, Alberta, to Margaret MacKay (MacMillan) and John Woodrow Green. In 1957 her family relocated to Ocean Falls, British Columbia. Laura attended high school in Provo UT, and Hobbs, New Mexico and began her university studies at BYU University in Provo. After moving to Vancouver, BC in 1968 she met Charles Ross Irwin, and they were Married April 1, 1971. In 1978 Laura and Ross moved to Dawson Creek where they lived for 11 years, and then moved to Chilliwack in 1989 and remained there. Laura loved her work as a Kindergarten and Grade One teacher, from which she retired in 2007. Even after her retirement she taught the youth in the seminary program, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She loved sewing and gardening, and loved to take her Grandchildren out on fun excursions. Above everything she loved to go to the temple and loved working in the Vancouver Temple with Ross, and had dreamed that one day they would be able to serve a mission for the Church. She was a dedicated and always sacrificing wife and mother and a Proud Grandmother. She lived her life to be able to serve those around her and loved when she was able to be a part of the growth of her children, their friends, or her students. Laura was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma in Sep 2011, and was told that she only had months to live. She is loved by her family and will be sorely missed, until we are able to greet her again. We rejoice in the knowledge that she is no longer in pain, and that she will be able to join her parents and other loved ones, that are waiting to welcome her into paradise. Funeral services will be held on December 15, 2014 at 11:00 am at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on Tyson Road in Chilliwack, BC. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Chilliwack Hospice Society. McLean’s (604) 847-3477

MAIN EVENT

Celebrate the season NORTH POLE BC: All the traditional magic and charm of Christmas is coming to Tradex this holiday season, with North Pole B.C.’s ‘Festival of Christmas’ open weekends and select days until Dec. 24. Enjoy a cozy nighttime atmosphere of holiday cheer that includes interactive scenes, roaming entertainers, and activities for all ages. Creative director of North Pole B.C., Victoria Hardy says they are excited to offer families in the Fraser Valley a Christmas experience right in their own community, at just $12.50 per person, including tax. “Children and their families have the opportunity to sing, play and interact directly with the Elves, Mrs. Claus, the Toy Inventor, the Snow Princess and others, and then watch these same characters present a mini-performance of their scenes” says Hardy. “Families can decorate a gingerbread cookie, make wrapping paper, and learn how to be an elf. Our scavenger hunt will keep the entire family busy searching for some hidden treasures around the North Pole,

or meet Santa as he roams about each hour.” Now in their sixth year of operation, North Pole B.C. has moved indoors, allowing for a comfortable, dry environment and giving families in the Fraser Valley a chance to experience a great Christmas adventure locally. Tickets can be purchased at the door, subject to availability, however prebooking on line is strongly advised to ensure entry. Check out www. NorthPoleBC.com for more information, schedule and booking.

FIRST NIGHT: Another festive celebration taking place at Tradex this holiday season is the firstever “First Night” – a dry family event ending in fireworks, running from 5 p.m. until midnight on New Year’s Eve. Tickets cost $10.71 per person, but once inside all the activities are free, including performances by some of the best Valley Voices alumni, dance lessons, mini golf, rock climbing, curling provided by the Optimist Club, rides provided by West Coast Amusements, scavenger hunts,

a number of different bouncy castles, mazes and sports challenges, as well as an area for younger children with magic shows and much more. Manager of events and business development at Tradex, Bradley Styba says the night will be full of entertainment in a safe, dry, warm and alcohol-free environment. “We also have some great prizes, including two tickets to any Canadian destination sponsored by WestJet, and if you pre-purchase your tickets you will also be entered into a draw that could see you and one guest at every public event at Tradex in 2015 with parking included,” says Styba. There will be two countdowns to welcome in the New Year at First Night – one traditionally timed for midnight, and another at 9 p.m., for families with little children who want the experience but cannot stay up late. For more information on tickets to this event, costs and scheduling, visit: www.fvtradex.com or follow Tradex on Facebook as they are giving away a number of prizes.

Winter beauty mistakes to avoid Cold, blustery weather is waiting to rear its ugly head whether the public likes it or not. Winter weather may require revamping your normal health and beauty routine, as your skin and hair may need a bit more attention this time of year. Chances are you may be doing one or more things wrong this winter, according to beauty experts. Learn the mistakes many people make and how to avoid them.

FORGETTING HANDS AND FEET

dry lips, select a lip butter or something

RADO DIAMASTER

Skin on hands and feet can dry out in winter air. Wear gloves to protect hands and thoroughly moisturize. Use a pumice stone to give feet an exfoliating treat and slather on the moisturizer. Pull on a pair of cotton socks and let that moisture penetrate feet for soft soles and toes.

USING THE WRONG LIP BALM

into the cracks of dry lips.

IGNORING HAIR Your hair and scalp may need some winter TLC as well. Use extra conditioner to combat dryness and breakage. Rely on

heat-based styling tools.

USING THE SAME FOUNDATION In addition to exploring a different colour palette, you may need to actually change the formulation of the products you use. Skin tends to dry out in the cold, necessitating a switch to a foundation that boasts moisturizing agents. People whose skin is normally oily may find combination skin products acceptable.

TAKING PROLONGED, HOT SHOWERS Many people enjoy lingering in a hot shower or bath during the colder months of the year. But too much hot water can compromise your skin’s ability to contain moisture, further complicating dryness that comes with the season.

The Latest

Skin Therapy System

COVERING DRY SKIN WITH MAKEUP Slathering on makeup to hide dry skin will only make it more noticeable. Instead, do some gentle exfoliation and moisturization to combat the problem. Gently rub a wet washcloth over dry areas to remove flaky skin and prep your face for makeup application.

• Tightens, lifts & rejuvenates the skin • Reduces acne and surgical scarring • Improves wrinkles and fine lines

• Minimizes pore size • Improves stretch marks • For all skin colours

Sizes D-G

SKIPPING SUNSCREEN The sun still shines in the winter, and skin is still susceptible to damage. Make sun protection a yearround part of your beauty regimen. Use a moisturizer with SPF built in to make morning routines that much easier.

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Dry the pork tenderloin with paper towel and massage spice rub into the meat. 2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, 6–8 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 140°, 10–15 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing; place skillet on burner over medium heat and add white wine and deglaze pan. Cook until liquid is syrupy and reduced by half. 3. Toss dates, orange juice, reduced pan drippings, 3 tbsp chopped cilantro, and remaining 2 tbsp oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spoon relish over pork and top with cilantro leaves. 4. DO AHEAD: Relish (without pan drippings) can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Add pan drippings just before serving.

A rustic burlap bag stuffed with onions and potatoes nestled alongside my favourite Onion Goggles and the best Potato Ricer I’ve found, becomes a fun comfort food gift; a cozy pair of socks would complete it.
