The son of an 87-year-old Abbotsford man who was scammed out of $67,000 is sharing the story as a warning to others. John Brown (not his real name) said although his dad eventually got back $41,000 ofCopy the amount he sent to the scammers, he is still out the remaining $26,000.

mind, but fell prey to a phone scam promising that if he invested $75,000, he would receive $3.5 million in return. The caller, “Jack,” who first connected with Dave in January, said he had inherited $26 million from an uncle who had a gold mine in Sierra Leone, so he was good for the money. Brown found out about the scam and begged his parents not to send any more money, but they wouldn’t listen nor would they take the advice of two Abbotsford police

He soon discovered that his dad had sent various amounts – ranging from $400 to $26,000 – to different locations in Canada and the U.S. Meanwhile, the scammer continued to call Dave, promising that he would soon receive his $3.5 million and warning him not to let anyone know about the calls.

Closure of party rental company leaves anxious brides scrambling for alternatives Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
The closure of an Abbotsford party rental company has left some local brides in the lurch and searching for alternatives as their big days approach. The staff of Classic Party Rentals were informed last Friday that the business was closing immediately, but many of the company’s customers say
they only heard through social media that they would need to make new arrangements. Chelsea Caldwell, who is getting married in April, said she had paid a $300 deposit in order to rent chairs and tablecloths, among other products. On Monday, she heard through social media that the company was closing down.
Her sister Aynsley, who is also getting married this year, but not until August, found herself in the same position. While the sisters hope they’ll get their deposits back through their credit card companies, they say the closure has added to the stress that comes with planning a wedding. “It’s an extra headache that we don’t want,” said
Chelsea, who said she has begun to look to borrow the supplies from people she knows. She said representatives from Classic Party Rentals had been helpful during the planning process when she visited the store just last month, but that there was never any mention that she might not receive the rentals she was paying for.
The company’s website no longer exists and a sign on the front of the business’s showroom reads “Classic Party Rentals will be closed until further notice - Have a great day.” A call to the company’s store elicits a voicemail message that states: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be closed until further notice. Sorry for any inconvenience.”
Emails to the company’s showroom manager receive automatic responses stating that staff were informed last Friday “that Classic Party Rentals will no longer be in business effective immediately. “I am very sorry for any inconvenience this has undoubtedly caused you,” concludes the automatically generated message.

Avian flu quarantines lifted from all Abby farms
On select sizes. See in-store for details.
Restrictions remain in place at farms in Langley and Chilliwack
Sea Greens
Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
Quarantines have now been lifted from all eight Abbotsford farms affected by avian influenza in December, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The CFIA also announced Wednesday that it had removed the “primary control zone” restricting the movement of birds and poultry products in southern British Columbia. The zone and quarantines were put in place in December after the detection of H5N2 avian influenza on a broiler breeder chicken farm in Chilliwack and a turkey farm in Abbotsford. The H5N2 virus was of a highly pathogenic nature, meaning it spread easily and had a high mortality rate.
The virus was eventually detected on a total of 11 commercial farms and a backyard farm in Aldergrove and resulted in the destruction of more than 245,000 birds. An H5N1 version of avian influenza was detected on a Chilliwack backyard chicken farm in early February. The first quarantines were lifted in early February. They remain in place on a Langley commercial farm and the two backyard farms, but three more farms – including two in Abbotsford – were given permission last week to resume operations. “All infected premises have completed the required cleaning and disinfection procedures under CFIA oversight,” the agency said in a statement posted online Wednesday. “Three of these premises are under quarantine for the

remainder of their 21-day period to satisfy international requirements.” The CFIA said international restrictions remain in force on Canadian poultry exports. While the source of the outbreak has not yet been revealed, the CFIA said: “Wild migratory birds are a known reservoir of the avian influenza virus. There is a significant wild bird population in the Fraser Valley and it is a known flyway for migrating birds.” Testing of B.C. poultry will continue for 90 days after the last farm is disinfected and cleaned, after which Canada may regain its “avian influenza-free status,” the CFIA said. The CFIA always stressed that the virus is not a risk to humans so long as poultry products “are properly handled and cooked.”

Deposit a small amount of courtesy here Andrew
Holota
On Point This will probably make me sound like a grumpy old man, but as I get older it seems more people have a decreasing level of respect for their fellow members of society. Remember courtesy? Consideration for others? Are those just antiquated constructs? There are myriad examples of what I’m talking about – texting and driving; barging into line-ups; berating hapless clerks… One of the items on my list of get-mestewing-mode is the bank ATM-Hog. Perhaps I have never grasped the full concept of an automated teller machine, or maybe I just can’t embrace the expanded service model. To me, an ATM is a way to quickly obtain some cash when the bank is closed, or to avoid queueing for a bank teller. However, in what was no doubt an effort to provide extra service for users, banks also
have a “deposit” function included in their internal machines (not the convenience store variety). Not a good idea. Even the simplest deposit requires the user to enter the amount, retrieve and stuff an envelope, key in the amount, deposit the envelope, etc. And then they may also want cash. And then along comes the bank ATM-Hog. This individual is of the unshakable belief that the ATM is there for their personal, unfettered, unhurried, extended use. This person chooses a busy time for ATMs such as after work, and steps up with enough deposit chores to keep a squad of chartered accountants beavering away well into the dark hours. To the horror of those behind her/him, out of a purse or wallet comes a wad of crumpled documentation, cheques, slips, forms, receipts, annual stockholder reports, a financial horoscope, and last week’s
grocery list. Utterly unfazed by the growing lineup, the ATM-Hog pokes in a code, peers at the screen, thinks for a few long moments about the appropriate selection, and the agonizing process begins. Poke. Poke-poke. Poke-poke-poke. Click. Consult screen. Excrutiating consideration of the piece of paper to go into the envelope. Stuff and seal. Ponder at length before allowing the machine to accept the envelope. The gathering crowd is now praying that all the other visible documentation is not going to be involved in further transactions. No such luck. Next slip of paper. Poke-poke. Poke. Audible groans from those who simply wanted a fast 100 bucks and done. Temper heat waves shimmer off foreheads. Poke-poke-poke. New envelope. “Would you like to process another transaction?” asks ATM. NO!!! we all mentally scream. Yes, says Hog. Poke-poke.
It seems more people have a decreasing level of respect for their fellow members of society.
By now, we are looking at each other, discussing whether we should pool whatever cash we have left on us, and offer it to ATM-Hog to go to a teller. Do we rush the Hog en masse, and feed him into the deposit slot? Point and shout, “He’s got a gun!” Amusing thought, but there are no ATMs in jail cells. Actually say something sarcastic, out loud? No, that would be impolite. Maybe it’s time for me to line up for a teller. But that would be a waste of the precious minutes of my ever-shortening life I’ve spent waiting so far. I begin to seriously think about ducking out of line, and walking over to the drivethrough ATM just around the corner of the bank. But drivers get really uppity about pedestrians using drive-throughs. I can appreciate that. (Mind you, don’t get me started about the folks who drive up to the ATM and then get out of the car to use it!) ATM-Hog finally finishes, walks past the steaming, scowling crowd, wearing a “What?” facial expression. Oh, nothing. I hope the ATM ate all your deposits. Sorry, I mean, have a nice day.

letters Anniversary Bands Homelessness: Pay now or pay later This is in response to Mr. Redekop’s rosy proposition to end homelessness in Abbotsford (News, March 6). I would like to touch on the fact that homelessness in Abbotsford is indeed a crisis which is a product of many oppressive forces that are unseen. 1. There are no such things as mental institutions anymore, thanks to the government’s de-institutionalization policy. They were closed long ago with plans to treat people with psychological issues in the community. Unfortunately, the government missed the part where they were supposed to allocate money and plans for community initiative. This is part of the issue we see now, with a lot of homeless people on the streets with mental illness that have no place to go and are unable to function without support. 2. A person can enter rehab all they want and get clean, but when they are injected back into the community most of them lack the healthy social support, and living conditions we all take for granted. This makes it very tempting to go back to the lifestyle of a drug addict because it may seem like the only alternative. Clean, supportive housing is a great idea if the mentality of “not in my backyard” was not the societal view. Everyone loves the idea, but doesn’t want it in their neighbourhood. You’re right, isolating the homeless in a place where their
only means of transportation is by foot or bike to access food and other services is ridiculous. 3. There is no such thing as a “healthy” homeless person. Sure, they may seem “healthy” and able-bodied from the outside, but when you have no fixed address, limited access to personal care facilities, and your only food is the outdated and understocked food bank, other forces hinder your employment opportunities. Even if you get food from the food bank it would be incredibly hard to cook it up in your tent kitchen. A big part of attaining employment is the interview. Sleeping in a tent could very well be noisy and cold so making it to your interview could prove difficult and your sleepless nights exhausting. Also try explaining to a possible employer why you look unkempt and have no fixed address. I fear this would inhibit the employment process. As taxpayers, we need to ask ourselves whether we want to pay now or later. Pay now with preventative, supportive, and outreach programs, or pay later with more tent city clean ups, extra police enforcement, judicial costs, and medical expenses. Instead of battling progress and making ignorant comments we need a plan. So far it has been just smoke and mirrors.

travel against traffic – the law for bikes is to travel with traffic.” I was sure surprised because there’s hardly any shoulder on that road to ride on. Consequently, a few days later, I did travel with traffic on this narrow road. A large van passed me and his righthand mirror just brushed my helmet. Luckily, I was able to keep my bike under

our MLAs and premier are undoubtedly fully aware of this fact. Despite this none of our MLA?s has yet stood up to deal with this matter. The residents of Delta and Mission can thank previous municipal governments for passing bylaws that prohibit this abhorrent practice. If our provincial government is not prepared to deal with the matter, all municipal governments should take the matter in hand. I would like to see some response from our elected MLAs regardless of what party they support and I am confident those affected by this immoral and repugnant practice would like to see some reasonable and appropriate action which can only mean making parking at hospitals free for patients and their families. I, and undoubtedly all who are affected by this legalized robbery, await some meaningful response from our governments. Frank Wirrell Abbotsford

Parking at hospitals should be free I have noticed the matter of charging for parking at hospitals has again been raised by City council in Abbotsford. Previously I have also raised the issue and sent messages both to the premier’s office and to the NDP. The response from the premier’s office can only be described as disgusting in that it suggested they are concerned with the cost to the sick but were not going to do anything about it. The Liberals are basically living up to the reputation they have had from the time I was a young lad. One has to simply look at the example of the sponsorship scandal which was uncovered under the last federal Liberal government we had. With respect to the issue at hand I do not believe anyone will argue against the fact that charging for parking at hospital is nothing less than a tax on the sick and their families. It is totally immoral and to make matters worse the agent hired by the government receives 100% of the fines levied with the employee ticketing the vehicle getting a kick back. There is absolutely no moral justification for this charge and

Robert McMath, 70, was sentenced Friday in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, where he was given credit for 42 days of time served.
Abbotsford News
An Abbotsford man has been sentenced to four years in prison for the 2008 shooting death of his estranged wife.
The Crown had recommended that McMath receive the mandatory minimum sentence of four years for manslaughter “where a firearm is used in the com-
mission of the offence.” Conviction for such an offence can range from four years to life in prison. He had initially been charged with the second-degree murder
of Janice McMath, but he was found guilty in December 2013 of the lesser charge of manslaughter. The judge at the time said Crown did not

prove beyond a reasonable doubt that McMath intentionally shot Janice, 64, to kill her and prevent her from going after certain assets in their divorce. The court heard that Janice visited the McMath family farm in the Bradner area on May 28, 2008. She and McMath were separated at the time, but McMath said the two had remained friendly. McMath testified that he had moved a loaded .32 Remington rifle outside near the chicken coop because he was concerned about coyotes. On the night in question, he told Janice he had some work to do in the barn, and she accompanied him as the two drank wine and talked. They later headed back toward the house, and McMath testified that on their way, he picked up the nearby rifle with the intention of unloading it. He said his back was turned to Janice, but she walked in his path as he stumbled, due to his arthritic knee giving out, and the gun went off. McMath reported that the gun went off again when he fell, and Janice was shot a second time in the chest. She was rushed to hospital, where she died on June 7. The trial judge said she found McMath guilty of manslaughter because he was negligent in the way he stored the gun and had failed to engage the gun’s safety mechanism while there was a cartridge in the chamber. If McMath had been found guilty of second-degree murder, he would have received an automatic life sentence.

Cooking competition shows are extremely popular and have taken the TV airwaves by a storm. A large extent of the programming on Food Network Canada is a great reflection of this reality movement in viewing entertainment. The program Chopped Canada is no exception and now you will have the opportunity to watch me, Chef Dez, go head-to-head on this show, competing against 3 other chefs for ten thousand dollars. The show’s premise is to have four professional chefs from different parts of Canada compete in three rounds (appetizer, entrée and dessert) to win ten thousand dollars by being the best, and last one standing, in all three categories. However, the biggest challenges are the time limits and mystery baskets of ingredients for each of three rounds. A selection of four unknown, and more than likely strange, ingredients are unveiled to the chefs at the beginning of each of the three rounds . . . and with no time to plan or prepare, the clock starts ticking. There is only twenty minutes for the appetizer round, and thirty minutes for each the entrée round and dessert round, while making four plates of each dish (one for each of the three celebrity chef judges, and one for camera display). Judged on taste, presentation, and creativity all while showcasing the four mystery basket ingredients in the dishes, one chef is “chopped” (eliminated) from the appetizer round, leaving three chefs to compete in the entrée round. The same protocol happens in the entrée round which leaves only two chefs to compete for the final dessert round, and for the final prize of ten thousand dollars. Sound intense? Yes, very, and makes for incredible TV. You may be wondering how
I got involved with this program in its second Photo Courtesy of Food Network Canada season: I know a chef who competed in the first season and she advised me that they were looking for chefs for the second season (which started airing at the beginning of 2015). At the time of my conversation with her, there was no way I was going to apply. I had watched Chopped Canada many times and the level of intensity that the chefs were put through was more than I preferred to endure myself. A short time later I was in getting my hair cut by my friend Keith, relaying to him how I was insistent on not applying. He asked me “are you scared to be on Chopped Canada?” to which I replied “I’m not scared... I’m terrified!” He then said “that’s why you should do it.” I was confused until he went on to explain to me that what an incredible opportunity this would be to teach my four children that when you’re scared to do something, you do it anyway because it is the right thing to do - it’s called integrity. This is all my heart strings needed to hear to be tugged in the right direction. That same afternoon I went home, turned on my computer, and officially applied to be on Chopped Canada. To make a long story short, the producers of the show eventually contacted me through that application, and I was formally selected to compete. If you are interested in seeing how I fair against two chefs from Ontario and one from Alberta, my episode is coming up. Tune into Chopped Canada on Food Network Canada on Saturday March 28, 2015 at 9:00pm EST, 6:00pm PST. Chef Dez is a Food Columnist, Culinary Instructor & Cookbook Author.

Ukrainian couple speak at Communitas luncheon
Lucy Romanankova, director of the Florence Centre in Zaporozhye, Ukraine, and her husband, David McKittrick, will begin a three-month national tour in Abbotsford and will speak at a fundraising luncheon on Friday, March 20 at noon. Romanankova will speak about her work at the Florence Centre, while McKittrick will speak on the political situation in Ukraine. “We are always impressed that people who live in Canada think about Ukraine,” Romanankova said. “We are very, very grateful for the support and encouragement we receive.” The Florence Centre is a community development program committed to education and support of children, adults and families dealing with disabilities, abuse, addiction and mental health issues. Communitas, in connection with Canada Ukraine Agrarian Development Inc., has partnered with the Florence Centre since 2007. “It is a natural fit,” said Karyn Santiago, CEO of Communitas. “We get the joy of supporting what is taking place in a similar service on the other side of the world. The exchange of ideas that can happen between like-minded agencies is an investment in the next generation of Ukrainians.” The public is invited to hear Romanankova and McKittrick speak at the luncheon at Columbia Bible College, 2940 Clearbrook Rd. Tickets are $15 and are available from Communitas at #103 – 2776 Bourquin Crescent West or by calling 604-850-6608. For more information, visit the website communitascare.com.

Along with the early, great Spring weather we’ve been enjoying, the Real Estate market has also picked up much earlier this year. In fact, this past February was the busiest since 2007 and homes in some price categories are selling very quickly. In Abbotsford, the median price (price of a ‘typical’ type of housing) of Detached Homes was up 4%, Townhomes up 1% and Condos up 7.4% year over year. Interestingly though, stats for the actual number of places Sold varied greatly, with Detached Homes up 11.4%, Townhomes down 7% and Condos down 39%. But as always, there are so many exceptions.

Helicopters took to the sky at the Abbotsford Airport over the weekend, as young women from around the Lower Mainland took their first flight as part of The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too! event. Langley plane and helicopter pilot Kirsten Brazier created the two-day outreach event in 2012 to encourage more females to think of a career in aviation and aerospace. Glenda Ouellette was at the airport with her niece, Bryanna Abbott. Oullette said she previously volunteered with the event and found it very inspiring. “I think it’s marvelous.” Ouellette said her son is an air cadet who has learned to fly gliders and she wanted to show her niece the aircrafts. Abbott also went on a helicopter flight and flew a simulation of a water bomber aircraft, said Oullette. Abbot said the experience was fun and she liked to see everything from above. Women of all ages were at the airport taking in free flights, as well as trying hands-on aerospace activities, and looking at aircraft with civilian

Abby’s waste not to blame for Merritt controversy: consultant Nicola Valley residents upset about composting of ‘biosolids’ Tyler OLSEN
Treatment Plant, located on Gladwin Road. “Up until now, there have been no biosolids of any sort shipped from Abbotsford to Merritt,” said John Paul, a professional agrologist. BioCentral operates the controversial Nicola Valley property, but the waste that is being composted and is generating so much local debate originates in West Kelowna, Paul said. The JAMES plant produces around 7,000 tons of biosolids each year. After the waste is treated, it is considered a Class A product under the province’s Organic Matter Recycling Regulations (OMRR). After going through a complex process including “de-watering” and pasteurization, the waste can be applied directly to fields, as opposed to the Class B waste from West Kelowna that must be composted before use. Paul says the Abbotsford waste is typically taken directly to farms in the Lower Mainland and beyond, where it is applied up to a half-inch thick across fields as fertilizer. The province regulates the use of biosolids through OMRR.
Abbotsford News
Contrary to several media reports, Abbotsford and Mission aren’t the source of human waste causing discontent the Nicola Valley. Residents in the Nicola Valley near Merritt are upset about a compost site for human waste biosolids from other communities. A contractor has been hauling waste to a property west of Merritt, where it is composted before being used as fertilizer. A group calling itself the Friends of the Nicola Valley created a petition calling for the practice to be stopped, and the issue has prompted the Thompson-Nicola Regional District to explore how it may regulate “biosolids.” But while Abbotsford and Mission have been accused of being two of the main suppliers of the waste, the area’s biosolids don’t need composting and aren’t taken to Merritt, according to a consultant for BioCentral, the company with the $495,000 annual contract to remove solid waste from the Joint Abbotsford Mission Environmental Systems (JAMES) Wastewater

Bateman wins first-ever game at provincials
Abbotsford’s Robert Bateman finished Wednesday having never lost a game at the Boys Provincial Basketball Championships. Of course, they had only just played their first game at the B.C.’s in the school’s 21-year history. That game, though, saw the school register a 63-52 win over Matthew McNair in 3A action at the Langley Events Centre. “It was a good win,� said coach Virinder Braich. “It was our first win at provincials. It was a close game the whole way and our guys just kept playing hard and we were able to pull away in the fourth.� Braich said that traditionally the school has been known for rugby and more recently football, but basketball is now gaining popularity.

The future looks bright for basketball at Bateman. The team is led by Grade 10 forward Nate Friesen who scored 22 points on Wednesday. When guard Iqbal Grewal hurt his ankle in the first half of Wednesday’s game, Austin Schulz came into the game and finished the game with 12 points. Forward Jacob Thiel added 14 points. All season long, Braich said it’s been entire team effort on the court of selfless basketball. “It’s been a fun year.� Bateman was back in action Thursday, but results were not available at press time.

Four Yale Hockey Academy U-18 players have received scholarships to U.S. universities this season. The latest is Benjamin Brar, who has recently committed to attending the University of Denver. Brar, a 16-year-old Abbotsford native, is a 6’2” forward and has 59 points in 28 games this season.
During the 2013-14 season, he posted 31 points (18-13-31) in 24 games and added five playoff points, helping Yale’s Elite 15s team win the CSSHL championship. Next season, Brar will suit up for the Junior A Penticton Vees. In February, a pair of Brar’s teammates also inked U.S. scholarships. Team captain Kohen
Olischefski, also from Abbotsford, committed to the University of Wisconsin on Feb. 19. Olischefski currently leads the Canadian Sport School Hockey League in scoring with 71 points in 28 games. Last season the six-foot forward finished tied for the scoring title in the Elite 15s di-

vision with 36 points in 24 games and was named the division’s MVP. He added three points in two post-season games as Yale captured the CSSHL Elite 15s championship. Next season Olischefski will play for the BCHL’s Chilliwack Chiefs. In early February, U-18 defenceman Alec Capstick committed to the University of Notre Dame. Capstick, who put up 21 points in 25 games with Yale this season also played two games for the BCHL’s Langley Riverman. “I feel like Notre Dame provided me the best opportunity to continue to chase my academic and athletic goals,” said Capstick. Fellow Yale d-man Darren Rizzolo committed to Northeastern University earlier in the season. Rizzolo, of Mission, will play for the Chilliwack Chiefs of the BCHL before heading off to school. In 22 games this season Rizzolo has scored 22 points. It’s been a banner season for Yale. The U-16 team won the Lakecity Invitational in Idaho and also captured bronze at the Richmond International. In November, the U-18 Lions won the prestigious World Bauer Invitational in Chicago, defeating the No. 2-ranked Honeybaked 4-3 in the final. In December and January, a pair of its alum, Shea Theodore

have worked very hard on and off the ice,” said Yale Academy director Billy Wilms, adding “I am so incredibly proud of all our student-athletes, coaching staff, and instructors in our hockey program.”

Forward Jordan Goheen, who played a strong game at both ends of the court, added 12 points. In other 3A action, Robert Bateman defeated Matthew McNair 63-52.

We came to play, which is key for us in this tournament.” The Panthers are the No. 6 seed in the tournament, while Windsor was ranked No. 11. After the game, Lenz described his team’s performance as a “gritty” effort. Not only was his club facing a large, physical team, but they also had to set their alarm clocks early for the 8:30 a.m. tip off. “[That’s] a tough

The Nissan LEAF miraculously cut a journey in half this week. I’ll explain. I took the plug-in sedan on a 43-kilometre trip from Vancouver to Driveway HQ, on 152nd Street, in Surrey. When I set out, the screen display showed that I could drive emission-free for 146 kilometres. Now I could have taken off like an F1 supercar and street raced all the way, because electric power offers instant tire squealing torque if you press the pedal to the metal. But that’s not me. Spurred by my ecofriendly driving the previous day, the clever car had decided earlier in the day that I could do 156 kilometres on a full charge. Not boasting but that’s easily more than 20 kilometres better than the average driver can expect to achieve. Okay, maybe my head

I threw the stick into ECO mode and with two flicks of the wrist pushed it into the enhanced B-mode, which puts the braking power regeneration into overdrive, so to speak. I glided silently down the road, picking up pace ever so gradually in the busy city traffic. Rolling down the hills to Marpole, I could feel the juice from the brakes topping up that battery. On the freeway, I hit the posted speed limit and 40 minutes later pulled into HQ. The display flashed 126. I had covered 43 klicks with the power required to move the car just 20! Such fun.

Toyota has suffered criticism in the past that must sting: some if its designs have been called boring or vanilla. Things are changing at Toyota, just look at the
much more dynamic designs placed on the small Corolla or mid-sized Camry, still practical but much better looking. The same criticism was levelled at the Toyota luxury brand, Lexus. Here too, the designers have taken a dramatic shift in the way the cars look and feel. The RC coupe is an all-new category for Lexus and one they call “Sexy”. There was a

retractable hardtop Lexus IS convertible that tried to double as a coupe but nothing can replace the real thing. This is a long, low, wide take on a coupe. Much betterlooking car than that old IS. Looks One area that Lexus has focused on is the front grille and aggressive stance of many of its latest vehicles. This grille is what Lexus calls a “spindle” grille, made to replicate a fabric spindle. Why, you ask? Well, the Toyoda (original spelling) family was in the fabric loom business before they started making military trucks and then cars. This is a fun tip-of-thehat to the origins of the business. On some cars it looks a bit forced, on this RC it certainly looks well integrated and sleek. What are hard to see are two pin-lights imbedded in the grille that act as driving lights. The back has cheese-grater looking faux vents behind the

rear wheels that serve no function and look a bit busy. The FC is sold as a rear wheel drive (RWD) model or all wheel drive (AWD) plus it is sold with Lexus F Sport trim packages that enhance the wheels and add extra go-fast looking trim pieces. The car seen here is the 350 AWD without F Sport. Inside Lexus continues the overhaul inside the RC cabin. The dash really looks and feels cockpitlike, with a high centre console and sporty looking trim. There is a new touch pad between the front seats that lets the driver scroll around the centre screen just as one would on a laptop. To

enter a setting, the driver pushes the track pad, all very intuitive. The F Sport models get a special centre speedometer cluster that has the single dial move to one side for quick reference information. The non- F Sport models get a small screen to use instead. The seats are nicely sculpted and trimmed in leather, plus the back seats are roomy enough for adults if the front seats are moved slightly forward. Children will fit easily. What is impressive is the use of soft-touch materials and a level of finish and that should be experienced firsthand. Drive Most Canadians will gravitate towards the RWD RC 350 not just because of the added traction but also because of the lower starting price. It’s odd that the RWD car starts at $57,650, where the AWD starts at $54,600. The RWD F Sport car is a more performanceoriented with an 8-speed automatic transmission and adaptive front and rear suspension and allwheel steering system; the AWD gets a 6-speed

auto and a passive shock system. Both use the same 3.5L V6 engine with 307hp. The AWD car seems to be set up as a touring car, not getting away from the Lexus roots planted firmly in the luxury camp. It would be a good idea to try the more dynamic F Sport model back-to-back with the AWD to see if the softer model is to your tastes. The power from the engine can be rather fun but the driver needs to really kick the throttle to wake the car from its luxury slumber. This also is the only time the engine sounds particularly exciting. Verdict Lexus has built a strong following because of the high quality, bulletproof reliability the brand offers, with an everpresent luxury feel. The F Sport models offer a more aggressive design and improved on-road dynamics. With an eye on making the brand more exciting, the designers did a fine job inside and out. The AWD model doesn’t stray too far from the traditional Lexus formula or producing comfortable and luxurious transportation, this time in a much more stylish wrap. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 3.5L V6 with 307hp Fill-up: 12.6L/9.1L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $54,600

Cruising with Tom Cruise by Nick Gravlin
Hollywood star Tom Cruise has driven dozens of cars in his 40-plus movies. Here are the top five coolest cars featured in movies: “Vanilla Sky”: In this reality warping, romantic drama, Tom plays David Aames — the head of a New York publishing
ex-girlfriend Julie (played by Cameron Diaz) tries to kill them both by driving off a bridge in her 1970 Buick Skylark. “Rain Man”: After his father’s death, Charlie Babbitt (played by Cruise), a grey market sports car dealer (seen importing Countaches in the film’s opening), flies home to Ohio to
settle the estate. After learning he has an older brother, Raymond (Dustin Hoffman), who is inheriting the full estate, the two set out on a cross-country road trip back to California in their father’s 1949 Buick Roadmaster. “Jack Reacher”: Tom Continued on page 35

firm with access to whatever he pleases. In the opening scene, Cruise drives a Ferrari 250 GTO replica through a deserted New York City, ultimately ending in Times Square. Aames’ daily driver throughout the film is a1967 Ford Mustang, and after he falls in love with a different woman, his

art in the beginning.” He holds a degree from Pratt Institute in New York and he attended the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit. While still in school, Albaisa was hired by Nissan Motor Corp Inc. even before he graduated and hasn’t looked back. He has been with the company more than 25 years. “Every day is different in this company,” he explains. “My first two or three years in the group, I worked on the J30. And I did a yacht, I was designing TaylorMade golf clubs and I played beach volleyball competitively, so I had this crazy life.” He designed furniture on the side, as well. “As an artist, change causes change and changes your mind,” he states. His roles over the years have evolved, too. Albaisa joined the Nissan Design team in San Diego
conventional individual! – And it’s a quiet haven from the bustle of the exterior commotion. Though he’s a veteran in his role, he tells me, “It’s quite a difficult job. You’re constantly an ambassador for the dreams of your people.” He adds, “Ideas are not demonstrable. You’re always worried that the call is going to come before the idea is ready to be shown. This is probably the only thing that really worries me. I have a lot of really talented people and I want to keep there.” Aside from the same emotions that we all feel concerning our respective roles at our workplace, he embraces the changes, the ups and downs and the notion to create brand unification through the sketches on a notepad. When it comes to describing his role, Albaisa remarks, “I still feel like I just started.” alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

plays Jack Reacher, an ex-Army MP who is investigating the murder of five innocent victims of a sniper shooting. The real highlight of the film is a sixminute car chase in which Cruise drives a 1970 Chevelle SS. He tries his best to chase down an Audi A6 while being pursued by police. The driving stunts are of quite a remarkable quality; especially considering Cruise did all of his own driving throughout the movie.
UP TO â&#x20AC;&#x153;Risky Businessâ&#x20AC;?: In this 1983 dark-comedy drama, Tom Cruise plays Joel Goodson, a high school student living with wealthy parents in suburban Chicago. His parents go away on a trip, giving Joel strict orders to not touch the stereo system or his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1979 Porsche 928. Joelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unruly friend convinces him otherwise, leading Joel into a downward spiral of trouble that includes a car chase in the Porsche, and later some major water damage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;War of the Worldsâ&#x20AC;?: Cruise

Top five vehicles from Cruise movies plays Ray Ferrier, a divorced dockworker in New York City. His pride and joy seems to be his 1966 Shelby GT350H rather than his two kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this all changes after an alien invasion of Earth. The probability of an alien invasion seems just as unlikely as a decidedly unmotivated N.Y. dockworker owning such a rare car as a Shelby! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; But then this is the movies.

BEAVER
ARNELL George Charles April 25, 1938 ~ March 8, 2015
George leaves behind his wife Marna, daughters Julie and Jennifer (Maury), grandchildren Taylor and Mitchell, niece Kelly, sister-in-law Inga, nieces Jackie (Kyle) and Joanne, mother-in-law Marie and “the dog” Mollie. After attending UBC and SFU (MA, Ed), he taught for 35 years before retiring in 1996, moving to his “estate” in Mission. There he tended chickens and ducks, felled trees, built bridges and walkways and mowed his acreage with a cunning eye-no weed shall escape. George’s first passion was his family, being the best provider he could, a loyal friend and a believer in treating every living thing with respect. Many a meal or activity was halted as he carefully removed moths or wasps outside, or picked worms up from the garage floor. A pianist all his life, music and travel played a big part of his retired life, as did informing his family of what he considered important for them to know. Literary picks and newspaper articles were carefully chosen to be given, discussed and dissected - and then hopefully followed as George prescribed to the “Father Knows Best” era. Our home was filled with laughter and love because of his presence and we will miss George with all our hearts. In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to a charity or cause of your choice. A memorial service will be held Monday, March 23rd at 1:00 pm, with a reception to follow, at Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home, 7386 Horne Street, Mission.

Stanley passed away peacefully in Mission Memorial Hospital at the age of 95.
