Man, 25, stabbed in fight Airlifted with non-life-threatening injuries 100% Non-GMO Store
FREE Lecture: Phil Brewer (founder/president of Silver Hills Lifestyle Centre)
A 25-year-old man was airlifted to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries after he was stabbed on Wednesday evening. Police were called at about 6:30 p.m. to a residence in the 32100 block of Mt. Waddington Avenue in west Abbotsford, east of Clearbrook Road. The victim was transported by air ambulance to a Vancouver-area hospital.
Const. Paul Walker said the victim was stabbed after an apparent argument with two other men escalated into a physical altercation. He said police believe all three knew one another, and the situation was not random. Walker said the incident is not connected to the ongoing Townline Hill conflict in west Abbotsford that has seen two gangs battling for drug turf, resulting in several drive-by shootings
and the death of innocent man Ping Shun Ao, 74, on Sept. 2. Ao was struck by a stray bullet intended for a person living next door to him. No charges have yet been laid in relation to his death. Anyone with information about the stabbing is asked to call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225, text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

toward the crosswalk. She was not in the crosswalk at the time of the collision, and she was wearing dark clothing, Walker said. The intersection was closed for several hours while investigators were on the scene. The APD is appealing to any witnesses who may have seen the accident to come forward. Patrol officers and collision reconstructionists are continuing the investigation, and have ruled out alcohol or drugs as a factor in the incident. Walker said it’s normal to see an increase in pedestrian-related collisions at this time of year, when weather worsens and daylight hours lessen. He said drivers and pedestrians need to take responsibility for preventing such incidents. “Often factors like speed, aggressive driv-
ing and weather conditions play a role, as do the decisions made by pedestrians to ensure they take the steps to be seen prior to stepping out into traffic,” Walker said. Among the tips he suggests for pedestrians are: always make eye contact with drivers; never assume that a driver has seen you; watch for drivers turning left or right through a crosswalk; and wear reflective clothing and/ or carry a flashlight. Walker says drivers should: look twice for pedestrians crossing the road; focus on the road and leave electronic devices alone; and give yourself extra time and space to stop in case a pedestrian suddenly crosses the street. Anyone with information about the latest collision should call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604859-5225, text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. PEDESTRIAN COLLISIONS There have been 12 pedestrian-related accidents in Abbotsford since Nov. 1, including three involving cyclists (the APD classifies cyclists as pedestrians.) This compares to nine such incidents for the same period last year. So far this year, there have been 102 reported incidents involving pedestrians/cyclists, compared to 85 for the same period last year. The following pedestrian accidents have occurred this month: ❑ Nov. 3 – 32400 block South Fraser Way (cyclist on road); ❑ Nov. 5 – George Ferguson Way/ Clearbrook Road (pedestrian in crosswalk); ❑ Nov. 6 – Gladwin Road/Maclure (in crosswalk); ❑ Nov. 7 – Gladwin/ Hillcrest (in crosswalk) and Dolpin Crescent/ Bakerview (not in cross-
walk); ❑ Nov. 10 – Trethewey/ Slocan (in crosswalk); ❑ Nov. 12 – 31200 block of Southern Drive (not in crosswalk) and Bevan/Ware (cyclist in crosswalk); ❑ Nov. 14 – 33700 block South Fraser Way (cyclist on road) and McMillan/Old Yale (in crosswalk); ❑ Nov. 16 – King/ McCallum (in crosswalk); ❑ Nov. 18 – James/ South Fraser Way (not in crosswalk). In addition to Wednesday’s fatality, five other people – including four pedestrians – have died in vehicle-related incidents so far this year (compared to five for the same period last year): ❑ Pedestrian Richard Rude, 67, on Jan. 24 was struck while using a crosswalk at McDougall and Montrose avenues. He died in hospital on Feb. 6. ❑ Cyclist Ronald
James Scott, 61, died after being struck on Jan. 29 in the 2000 block of Mt. Lehman Road. The driver fled the scene and, although police have found the vehicle involved, they have not been able to confirm who was driving at the time. ❑ A passenger died after the vehicle she was in crashed and rolled over on March 10 in the area of Wells Line and Smith Line roads. Driver Brandon Mitchell James Hayes was charged and sentenced to two years in prison. ❑ Longboarder Dakota Leslie, 19, died after being struck on April 30 at the intersection of Marshall and McCallum roads. ❑ A 75-year-old male pedestrian was hit on Aug. 4 while crossing the road at Guilford Drive and Marshall. He died in hospital on Aug. 26.

A key part of the City of Abbotsford’s new marketing efforts is a high-tech GIS mapping system that allows users to research a wide range of data including businesses and demographics.
City initiatives aimed at global investment Website combines property listings and demographic data Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
A new online campaign to market Abbotsford to regional, national and international investors was unveiled Wednesday. The City of Abbotsford Economic Development (CAED) unveiled its new website, a high-tech GIS mapping system, along with a new international marketing strategy. The interactive CAED website features information touting Abbotsford as a great place to live and work, and highlights the city’s programs to encourage business growth. The map site selector tool combines property listings and demographic data with an interactive map of the city, so anyone looking for a new business site can view the best locations. Users can view an array of mapped data about consumer spending, labour force distribution, household income and more. They can also browse locations of business properties available for lease or purchase at the same time. Abbotsford is the first municipality in B.C. to offer such a tool. “This type of specific geographic and demographic information is sought by businesses looking to relocate or expand,” said Wendy Dupley, the executive director of CAED.
“It puts Abbotsford well and truly on the map. It enables us to project what Abbotsford has to offer to a global audience.” The new website, created by Langley firm Original Ginger, and the interactive mapping system were launched Wednesday evening at a screening event in Cineplex Cinemas’ theatre at Highstreet on Mt. Lehman Rd. The city also presented its new international

branding strategy and a report called “Flying Higher in Abbotsford.” Attendees viewed presentations about the new strategy, web site, report and mapping system,then mingled and enjoyed refreshments. The report, prepared by Development Counsellors International, says Abbotsford must overcome old business perceptions and a lack of global awareness. Wednesday’s announcement is intended to address that. “Obstacles aside, there is tremendous opportunity for Abbotsford to step to the forefront within the Fraser Valley and embrace it’s ‘hub’ status in the region,” the report says. Dupley said the website and tools will allow companies looking to move to see the various options available in Abbotsford without having to call city hall and request the information. “If you don’t have all that information online, you’re not in the game,” she said. The new CAED site is available at caed. abbotsford.ca “We are very excited about these new tools and the opportunities they will provide for our clients. Our website is a one-stop-shop business portal,” added Dupley, “and these new tools give us the resources we need to improve our outreach and showcase all that Abbotsford has to offer.”

Thanks to day-to-day heroes With heartfelt thanks for their service in the call of duty, I want to draw your attention to Abbotsford’s first responders. Wednesday evening, an altercation in a home on Mt. Waddington Avenue led to a stabbing. I had a view of the first responders – two fire trucks, two ambulances and three marked police cars – which arrived to deal with the aftermath and prepare the victim for air trans-
port to hospital. Oh, yes, and the press which arrived to get the story. I watched as highly trained and competent personnel worked to save a man in the cold, pelting rain in a front yard littered with dog excrement. Once in a while, we read of individual men and women whose service in a particular situation saves a life. We call them heroes. However, we seldom read of
the teams of first responders “just doing their jobs.” Daily. In all kinds of unpleasant conditions. Dealing with the numerous ways that human lives go wrong. Whether it’s a stabbing, a drug overdose, a traffic accident or a grandmother’s stroke, they step in, serve and protect. Again, I offer them – all our day-to-day heroes serving others – my deepest gratitude. Lynda Grace Philippsen
Canadians from all over the world I read the Nov. 18 column (editor Andrew Holota) with great interest. I am in total agreement with you. All who come to this country came for a better life. I am a very proud Canadian and am ashamed at some of the things going on here today – setting a mosque on fire, people wanting to stop helping refugees in their time of need. This sort of behaviour is not from the Canada I was born in and have grown up in. For the most
part we as Canadians have come from all over the world and we seem to forget that fact. Go back a few generations and take a hard look at those that helped to form this great country. Social media can be a good thing, but it can also bring out some very hateful people that would not be so vocal face to face. I think it’s time to get Canadian again. Things seem to be slipping away.

An unexpected jump in enrolment at the Abbotsford school district has resulted in full classrooms and $1.7 million in extra funding
from the province. Administrators had expressed surprise in September when a preliminary headcount seemed to show an increase in enrolment of around 20 students, defying a projected
48-student decrease in enrolment heading into the 2015-16 school year. The final audited headcount for this year showed an even steeper increase, with enrolment rising by 190 students, from 18,763

to 19,563 students in local schools, including those taking online courses through the Abbotsford Virtual School. The numbers mean Abbotsford has bucked a recent B.C. trend that had seen school enrolment decrease by 27,000 students across the province over the previous five years. In the short-term, the increase is good for the district and has allowed it to hire more teachers and support staff. The main challenge now facing the district is to find out why enrolment has jumped and whether it is a one-off occurrence or a sign of things to come. Secretary-treasurer Ray Velestuk said two factors may be at play, both revolving around a generally increasing population. First, new students could be coming from either other Lower Mainland cities to Abbotsford’s west as families move eastward in the Fraser Valley. Second, Velestuk said the district has heard of students coming from Alberta as its struggling economy sheds jobs. Future increases will make school building and upgrades, which the district has already included in its capital plan to be sent to the ministry of education, even more of a priority. The Abbotsford school district’s 2015-16 capital plan approved earlier this month

Sumas Mtn. schools seeing growth From A10
asked for more than $50-million of upgrades and new schools over the next five years. The prioritized plan is then sent to the provincial government with the hope that funding will materialize. The plan includes a new Eagle Mountain elementary school, new middle and secondary schools in the eastern part of the city, and upgrades to Yale and W.J. Mouat secondary schools. The district’s enrolment numbers show schools in the Sumas Mountain area of Abbotsford are gaining students while many of those in the northern and western parts of the urban core are seeing decreases. Demographic changes in different areas explain some of the growth, but the principal of the school with the largest percentage increase attributes the rise in students there with a popular program. Abbotsford middle school, which actually projected a slight decline, saw a recorded jump in enrolment from 537 to 598 students. Principal Ian Levings attributed the jump to the school’s unique International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program. The program features what Levings described as “inquiry-based learning” and is similar to the new curriculum that students around the province will start experiencing next year. “Parents are really excited,” Levings said. Dozens of students are now on a waitlist for coming years. The jump in students has created some logistical challenges, Levings said, as teachers were shuffled in order to utilize every single classroom in the building. “It’s a good problem to have,” he said. Among elementary schools, Harry Sayers saw the largest increase in enrolment, with 27 more students enrolled. In addition to Abbotsford middle, Clayburn and Chief Dan George middle schools also saw enrolment jump, by 32 and 27 students, respectively. The high school with the largest increase was Abbotsford senior, which saw enrolment
rise by 78.62 student equivalents. The elementary school with the largest enrolment decrease was Terry Fox elementary, where the number of students dropped from 262 to 240. And the increase at Harry Sayers may be good news for nearby Eugene Reimer middle school and Rick Hansen secondary school. With a drop of
34 students, Eugene Reimer saw the biggest enrolment decrease among middle schools, while Rick Hansen saw the biggest drop among secondary schools, with 53 fewer students signed up. Velestuk said the west side of the city continues to see population increases, although many students from that area of the city attend schools of choice.
Although numbers for the rest of British Columbia are still coming in, the increase in enrolment would make Abbotsford one of just a few districts where more students are attending school, according to a ministry of education spokesperson.

Charges will not be laid against an Abbotsford Police officer involved in the collision that resulted in the death of 14-year-old Marcus Larabie on Dec. 26, 2014. The Criminal Justice Branch (CJB) announced Wednesday that there is not enough evidence to prove that the officer committed any careless-driving offences that would have resulted in Larabie’s death. Larabie was struck by a 2009 Mazda 3 – driven by the off-duty officer – in the area of Bourquin Crescent West and Mill Lake Road at about 6:15 p.m. The Independent Investigations Office (IIO), which looks into officer-related incidents of death or serious harm, concluded its investigation in September and submitted a report to the CJB for consideration of charges. The report indicates the officer was proceeding through a green light south on Bourquin Crescent, when Larabie, who was riding a longboard and talking on a cellphone, entered the crosswalk westbound on Mill Lake Road on a red light. The report states that the officer was travelling at about 65 km/h in the 50 km/h zone, but that was consistent with the flow of traffic at the time. The Crown concluded “it would not be possible to prove that the officer’s driving was a departure from the standard of a reasonably prudent driver...” The CJB report indicated that Larabie was wearing dark clothing with no reflective material or a helmet. “The occupants in the vehicle following the officer described the skateboarder as moving very fast and ‘very hard to see,’ ” the report stated. Evidence collected in the case include surveillance video, witness statements, and Larabie’s cellphone records.

Santa Claus arrives at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 11 a.m. Santa and Clifford the Elf will arrive by fire truck, escorted by the Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service at the Shoppers Drug Mart entrance. Terry Fox elementary
students will be first in line to see Santa as they parade him throughout the shopping centre for his first visit of the season. Santa will be available for visits and photos until Dec. 24. The shopping centre is also offering a special “My Time with Santa,� which provides children with challenging social, emo-
tional or behavioural needs a more sedate, sensory-friendly visit with Santa featuring low lighting and quiet surroundings. These visits are available Nov. 23 to 30 from 10:45 to 11 a.m. Marketing director Tricia Dumouchel said the program was first offered in 2013, and attracted a dozen families, “many of

course, and support them in finding the counselling services, the housing and general settlement services that they need.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stuck to his election commitment to bring 25,000 refugees into Canada by the end of December. But as logistical issues and security concerns have arisen, the deadline may be altered. In his mandate letter to Immigration Minister John McCallum, Trudeau said a top priority is to “lead government-wide efforts to resettle 25,000 refugees from Syria in the coming months.” Clark said the number, timing and security screening of refugee claimants is up to Ottawa. “I accept their assurances that they can do a very rigorous screening process for everyone that we’re welcoming into the country in the time that they’ve set out for it,” Clark said. “Our job in British Columbia is to welcome them, and to make sure that we as communities and a province do everything that we can to make sure that they get the best possible start, so those refugees can start contributing to our society and be a part of our society, because that’s what they want. And that’s what we need.”

being finalized. The current plan is to pay them 40 to 50 per cent less than a first-class constable, who makes $92,165 per year. Const. Paul Walker said these new team members will do tasks like neighbourhood inquiries, retrieving video evidence, obtaining and collecting witness statements, and assisting in preliminary investigations. “Although this type of work is incredibly important and necessary, it comes with lower risks and in many cases does not require a fully trained police officer,” he said. “By having the ISOs perform these duties, it will free up the time of our regular constables to focus on… higher risk tasks.” The ISOs will be sworn in as special municipal constables, and they won’t have to “go through the exhaustive training and expense associated with a fully sworn police officer,”
Walker added. Another IT (information technology) position was requested because the APD has ramped up its use of technology in recent years. “We have been straining the capacity of our internal IT staff,” said Walker. He said they’re opting to hire for a help desk position, with less pay and training than a full IT analyst, because it will free up the analysts to respond to more complicated matters. This is the first batch of expanded hiring for the force since 2012. In 2013, four police positions and one civilian position were lost through attrition. The tax increase will add $1.59 million to the APD’s yearly operating budget of over $40 million. In addition to the five new positions, the money will cover standard salary increases and increased costs for contracted services.

Do you really know what your kids are up to? ▾ MYTH: Once kids join a gang there’s no hope for them: Reality: Gang members in B.C. come from every socio-economic background and all ethnicities. While racial, ethnic, and gender composition can vary by locality or type of gang, gangs are often as diverse as our communities and many do not restrict who joins as long as they can make money for the gang.

In 2001, Taunya Geelhoed was one of thousands of athletes competing at the BC Summer Games in Victoria. Today, she is a key member of the team organizing the 2016 B.C. Summer Games in Abbotsford. Sports has been a lifelong passion for Geelhoed, who accepted the position of manager of operations for next summer’s Games earlier this fall. The Mission Secondary School grad was a soccer star growing up, and was a key part of the Fraser Valley team’s bronze medal win back in 2000. Recalling the 2001 Summer Games, Geelhoed said, “I remember it was a big deal and it meant a lot to be a part of that team. Making that means you’re on the right path to making a provincial team and you’re on the pathway to being the best in your area.” In her teens, Geelhoed also played with Team Canada and Abbotsford resident and World Cup soccer star Sophie Schmidt. Her skills on the pitch helped her earn a scholarship to the University of Louisiana. She spent five years as a Ragin’ Cajun, and was named on the AllLouisana team in 2006. After completing her public relations degree in 2009, she spent time as a program co-ordinator for BC Athletics and Athletics Canada. She was also the venue marketing manager for BC Place during the FIFA Women’s World Cup this past summer. The Vancouver venue sold out all four games and now holds the Canadian record for attendance of any national team. But, it’s not just the bright lights of big events that piques her interest. Geelhoed is also coaching a group of four-year-olds in her current home of Langley. “It’s a bit of an adventure,” she laughs. Her new role brings Geelhoed back to her roots in the Fraser Valley. “I’m very excited. I love everything to do with sport and I remember
when I competed at the Games and how memorable an experience it was. It’s cool to be a part of creating that experience for others.” The Games’ head office at Rick Hansen Secondary School is nearly set up, and from there Geelhoed will dive into her duties. One of her first tasks is to hire about 14 local office staff, including positions in administration, sport directors, promotions, special events and security. Geelhoed said the best part about the job is the impressive structure already in place. “It’s a ship that’s already been rolling,” she said. “People are already set up and I’m doing a lot of meeting with volunteers, listening to

Baxter Anderson and Jonathan Stein tallied the Birds, with Abbotsford’s Andrew Sorensen drawing an assist on the team’s second goal. Goalie Paul Tucek picked up his third win of the season, and shut out the Royals for over half the game. The teams traveled to the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre on Sunday, with the Royals blanking the hosts 4-0. South Island scored three goals in the second period, and added another in the third. The Thunderbirds record stands at six wins, six losses and four ties, and they sit in eighth place in the 11-team British Columbia Major Midget League. Fraser Valley now travels to Nelson for a pair of games against the Kootenay Ice on Saturday and Sunday. The Thunderbirds then return home to take on the Thompson Blazers on Nov. 28 and 29 at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre.

MAIN EVENT

Christmas tree lightings make for family-friendly outings It’s that time of year again, when Abbotsford lights up with Christmas cheer from one end to the other. Families are invited to experience some great events at Highstreet and classic traditions in the downtown core, both centred on the lighting of a giant, majestic tree. The Abbotsford Downtown Business Association began its annual Christmas Tree Lighting celebration in 1989. Each year since, families gather to see the 85-foot Douglas fir light up the night sky, adorned with white and red lights, and a big, beautiful white star on top. “My absolute favourite part is seeing families return year after year,” says Tina Stewart, execu-
tive director of the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association.
“This event has turned into a multi-generational family Christmas tradition,” says Stewart. “People who enjoyed this years ago as children are now attending with their kids, and now, even grandkids. This is one of the true family-oriented Abbotsford traditions.”
“The faces of the kids, sitting on their dads’ shoulders as the countdown happens and the lights get flipped on - their faces light up as much as the tree does.” On Nov. 29 from 1 to 5 p.m., roads in the area will be closed to traffic so families can stroll through the downtown area’s shops, sample free hot chocolate and cookies, and enjoy entertainment at the Aldergrove Credit Union Community stage. Meet Santa and Mrs. Clause when they arrive around 2 p.m. and join in on the Christmas sing-along with a choir, Mayor Henry Braun, and council right before the tree is lit at 5 p.m.
Another “must-do” on the list of holiday experiences in Abbotsford is the third annual Highstreet Holiday Show on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 5 p.m., which includes a tree-lighting ceremony and Santa’s arrival. The towering tree on display is one of the largest Christmas trees in Canada, and will boast over 6,000 individually controllable tri-color LED nodes choreographed to holiday tunes.
This year’s pre-show at 4:30 p.m. will see performances by B.C.’s best marching band, talented dancers, holiday characters, Spandy Andy - a world-renowned entertainer known for his quirky persona - and of course, Santa Claus, who will be available for photos seven days a week starting Nov. 22. Tanya Curtis, marketing director at Highstreet, says one of her favourite things about the celebration is seeing the expression on children’s faces. “I love when the snow falls at the end of the show,” she says. “I guess I’ve ruined the surprise, but I love watching the little ones’ faces when the snow starts falling.” For the second year, Highstreet

will run an Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest in support of the Salvation Army from Nov. 15 to Dec. 15. “Send us your best ugly Christmas sweater photo,” says Curtis. “Share the photo on Instagram tagged #HOLIDEOUS or send by email to info@highstreetfv. com for your chance to win a $500 shopping spree.” Christmas is right around the corner, so bundle up, grab some hot chocolate and get into the spirit of the holiday season with these outdoor, family-friendly festivities.

at first frost There may be a chill in the air, but that’s no reason to forego style for warmth. There are plenty of fashionable looks in outerwear that can add a touch of sophistication to any wardrobe. Think sleek and tailored, instead of bulky and shapeless. Many people opt for classic colours — such as grey, navy and black — to get the most use of what can be one of the more costly additions to your closet, but pattern and colour can play important roles in spicing up your look. Plaid will stand the test of time, and a vibrant colour such as red or purple can perk up a dreary West Coast day. For the more adventurous, choose a coat with some embellishments — such as fakefur cuffs or shoulder accents — to really stand out. Choose whatever makes you feel best, and you’ll be ready to tackle the cold in style!

The Farmer and the Foodie In typical Julia Child style, she quipped “How can a nation be great if it’s bread tastes like Kleenex?” I’ll leave the white vs. whole grain bread debate alone for now, but paraphrase her to say, “How can a nation know if food will be greater than Kleenex if they haven’t tasted it?” This weekend’s Taste of the Market will give you the opportunity to sample many of our unique products, passionately created by local vendors. Taste your way through the various food stations with passport in hand, getting a stamp at each stop.

The Red Wave: What it means for Canadian business Canadians have spoken decisively and given the Liberals a majority that no one thought possible. (Why do we even read polls anymore? Maybe we’d be better off scanning the stars.) Hendrik Brakel is the Senior Director, Economic, Financial & Tax Policy with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. According to him, here’s why the pollsters got it wrong. The number of people who voted Liberal shot up a staggering 149 per cent, from 2.8 million in 2011 to 6.9 million this past election day. Meanwhile, the Conservative vote didn’t budge, from 5.7 million voters last time to 5.6 million, as the base stayed loyal. Where did all these votes come from? Strategic voting played a small part in Mr. Trudeau’s triumph, as the Liberal surge pulled just under a million votes from the NDP. But mostly, the Libs benefited from a massive increase in people coming to the polls, as 69 per cent of Canadians voted, up from 58 per cent, an additional three million newbies. Mr. Trudeau changed the landscape and will enjoy a reasonable honeymoon owing to the size of his victory. But what does it all mean for Canadian business?
predictablity to business. It’s certainly far better than a shaky Liberal minority being pulled to the left by the NDP, perhaps forced into higher corporate taxes or against the TPP or other ‘barbaric economic practices’. Infrastructure will also get a big boost. The Liberals have promised to set aside a portion of their $60-billion plan for roads, ports and gateways, and they have committed to improving Canada-U.S. border crossings and cargo inspection. Studies show that every $1 of infrastructure spending adds $1.70 to final GDP. Thus, the added spending could boost Canadian
economic growth by almost 1 per cent. More good news is the renewed focus on trade. The Liberals have told us they’ll continue to pursue free trade agreements. We expect them to implement Canada’s deal with the European Union as well as the recently concluded Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Trade negotiations with India are currently stalled, but we hope they will also be a priority. On
taxes, the Canadian Chamber was delighted when Mr. Trudeau so eloquently explained that corporate taxes should not be increased (a major drag on investment and competitiveness in a globalized world.) “The area the Canadian Chamber is watching with concern is payroll taxes. Firstly, the Liberal government will seek to expand the Canada Pension Plan, a position we support, but it may be politically tempting to push costs onto employers. CPP contributions act as a tax that makes it more expensive to hire staff, which can depress employment. The other major payroll tax, employment insurance, has been pulling in far more money than it was paying out for many years and so it was set to decline from 1.88 per cent to 1.47 per cent in 2017. The Liberals have promised to tax an extra $500 million of revenues from keeping the EI rate at 1.65 per cent in order to pay for additional training. The Canadian Chamber has for a long time been vehemently opposed to using EI premiums for purposes other than funding the insurance it provides. Brakel concludes, “As the largest business association in Canada, we see a lot of positives in the new government’s platform and we share in the country’s enthusiasm. With new ministers, new staff and a new leadership style at the top, there is an unprecedented opportunity to work with the government and have our voices heard.”
The good news is a stable, substantial majority gives much more

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:
Chamber interest groups have valuable input Our Board’s annual strategic planning has been effective, with our most recent one in late October. Our positive relationships with our fellow community organizations – including our MP’s, MLA’s and City Hall – means that our analysis and opinions are respected and taken seriously. Internally, however, we have been operating at a disadvantage, and we are now in the process of fixing that. For many years, we have been having meetings, to deal with membership issues, agricultural matters and governmental policies. Although we actually called these groups “committees”, they weren’t. They were really “interest groups”. Yes, their input has been truly invaluable – and continues to be – and the members who are participating are very passionate and dedicated to our community. But in order for a proper Committee to exist, there needs to be a Chair along with a specified number of Committee Members who have a set term. In some places, the Board chooses each participant for these committees. Sometimes, each committee is comprised only of sitting
Board members. We are encouraging our members at large to join our Committees. These are: Policy, Agriculture, and Government & Industry
Relations. By forming these interest groups into proper Committees, we intend to strengthen our processes. Every Chamber member continues to be welcome to attend any Committee meeting, and we will
continue to invite all who are present to participate in the discussions, and to bring matters forward. The Board wants to ensure that establishing a proper committee structure for the Chamber does NOT take away any member’s ability to bring issues and concerns forward at the Committee level. The Board recognizes the importance of feedback from Chamber members, and we want to encourage more such input. To help with this, in the 1st quarter of 2016 the Chamber will be conducting a series of surveys, interviews and focus groups to help guide the Board in setting and prioritizing goals. The new Chamber Committee Interest Form is now on our website, along with our Code of Conduct. We hope that Chamber members who have not attended Committee meetings in the past will now take an interest in them, and we also hope that our Chamber members who have been involved in our meetings over the years will continue to be involved. Please go on our website http://www. abbotsfordchamber.com/ and check it out.

Mobile business licenses to become permanent In February of 2012, the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce appeared before Council to have the City of Abbotsford adopt the Inter-Municipal Business License to streamline the business license process and reduce barriers to doing business between neighbouring municipalities. The Mobile Business License program allows businesses, such as contractors and other service providers, in one municipality to obtain an additional license that allows them to work in nine municipalities from Surrey to Hope. The Province of BC developed this program through the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation and has discovered that it saves business people time and money, which can be re-invested in their business. In addition, the ease and simplicity of the program means
more businesses are complying with licensing requirements. Initially, the Inter-Municipal Business License was approved for the Fraser Valley on a one year pilot project and was restricted to contractors only. Successful results led to a one-year extension of the pilot. The new bylaw will make this license a permanent benefit to business. “The Chamber was pleased to bring this issue to Council’s attention back in 2012 and congratulate the City for demonstrating that we are taking firm steps to become a much more business-friendly City”, said Chamber President Josh Bach. “Not only have two more jurisdictions, Delta and Kent, come on board”, Bach added, “the definitions have been modified to allow a much wider range of mobile businesses to be covered”.
The Inter-Municipal Business License has now been adopted in several areas of the Province and the Chamber will be working with other members of the BC Chamber to have this program adopted on a provincewide basis.

The AbbotsfordMission Alpen Club celebrated its 40th anniversary on Nov. 14. All members were invited, as were a number of dignitaries from other German clubs, the German Consulate General from Vancouver, and representatives from Abbotsford and B.C. The club formed in 1975 as the Mission Alpen Club following a population growth in the area that brought many new residents who had belonged to a German club in their former cities. That name was chosen because all club activities took place in the Mission Leisure Centre. Later, upon request from the membership, the new name of Abbotsford-Mission Alpen Club was chosen since the larger majority lived in Abbotsford. The club began to flourish, and members and their families enjoyed activities such as hiking, playing cards, fishing, dancing, picnics, and Christmas and New Year’s parties. In 1981, the club formed a choir, which performed many concerts around B.C. and Washington, as well as at club festivities, song festivals, seniors’ homes, shopping centres and fundraisers for other organizations. Retired club members currently do one-, twoor three-day bus tours to places around the province and south of the border. For more information, visit the website amgac. com.

TWU band and orchestra in concert Performance in Abbotsford on Nov. 28 The Trinity Western University (TWU) concert band and orchestra perform an assortment of dance-themed works at Celebrating Dance, a pair of concerts in Langley and Abbotsford on Nov. 27 and 28. The fall program brings together an array of classic pieces for band and orchestra. Some are more celebratory, while others are more energetic and suspenseful. The concert band will perform Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance and
Armenian Dances by Alfred Reed, while the orchestra will perform music from the adventure story of Peer Gynt as well as Edvard Grieg’s Symphonic Dances. The latter is a multi-movement setting of Norwegian folk tunes, all traditionally played outdoors on fiddles as dancers gathered en masse. Both ensembles feature TWU students and alumni, with other musicians from across the Fraser Valley.
The Trinity Western University concert band and orchestra perform in Abbotsford on Nov. 28. The orchestra is conducted by Jon Thompson, while Allan Thorpe conducts the
concert band. Guest conductors include Abbotsford teacher Alex McCune, who graduated
from TWU with a music degree last spring, and fourth-year music student Dan White, who lives in Langley. The concerts take place Friday, Nov. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at Willoughby Church (20525 72 Ave.) in Langley and Saturday, Nov. 28 at 7:30 p.m. at Peace Lutheran Church (2029 Ware St.) in Abbotsford. General admission tickets are $10. Visit twu. ca/samc or call 604-5132173 for more information.

Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-
served for the real estate agents and their clients. This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home. To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811. This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.
Choices Markets around the Lower Mainland, including the location in Abbotsford, are holding their annual Choices’ Star of the Season Program.

All proceeds are donated to 10 different organizations, including Abbotsford Community Services. Choices also donates more than 300 boxes filled with food for families in need each season.

United Way applauds RESP funding United Way Fraser Valley (UWFV) has partnered with SmartSAVER and the Abbotsford school district to encourage parents to apply for free education funds for their children. UWFV executive directory Wayne Green said parents may be unaware that the federal government provides $500 to low-income families to start a Registered Education Savings Program (RESP) for each child. Each following year, for a maximum of 15 years, the child’s RESP will be credited with another $100. This education grant is currently based on a family’s income threshold of $44,701. Federal contributions are retroactive for all eligible years. While voluntary contributions by the family are encouraged, they are not required. Green said RESPs are not limited to fund attendance at university or college. RESPs can be used for building trades apprenticeships, hairdressing school or any approved post-secondary course. Also, for children six to nine years old, the provincial government will contribute $1,200 to every child’s RESP. In order to receive these funds, the child must have a social insurance number and have an RESP. Currently, only 41 per cent of eligible parents in Abbotsford have applied for these funds. Parents can sign up online at startmyRESP. ca/uwfv or go to their regular financial institution. Green recommends that parents confirm that there is no set-up fee, no annual fee and no compulsory contributions required. As a further incentive, SmartSAVER will hold a weekly draw for $1,000 for those signing up online during November and December.

Abbotsford News
From industrial ‘engine’ to tranquil gem Just past the turn of the 20th Century, what we know today as Abbotsford, with its vibrant agricultural industry, was a truly different place. Our community in those days was an industrial engine. Clayburn Company, located on and adjacent to Sumas Mountain, was producing bricks for shipping around the world, and in the heart of what is now the city, Abbotsford Lumber Company was one of the largest employers in the province. Today’s Mill Lake, with its walking paths, boardwalks and lawns, may be Abbotsford’s
Mark
Rushton Faces, Places and Traces crown jewel, yet for some 30 years following the turn of the century, it was a smokefilled industrial center with its own ‘town’ surrounded by dense forests. Apparently, the original name was Abbotsford Lake, but that appellation was soon discarded due to the fact its main purpose was to serve as the log-sorting pond for Trethewey’s lumber mill.
The first mill on the lake was started by professor and anthropologist Charles Hill-Tout, its purpose to supplement his income by manufacturing railway ties. In 1903, the Trethewey family, headed by Joseph Ogle Trethewey, purchased the mill and turned it and Mill Lake into an industrial hub. The company had its own railway system throughout the area, with narrow-gauge locomotives hauling logs from the surrounding area to the lake, crossing it at the west end near what is now Continued on A45

Centennial Pool and dumping them into the water. Even today, there are remnants of the trestle pilings among the lily pads. According to MSA Museum, there was also a rail line “that ran along the present day Mill Lake Road to Robertson Avenue and then to Hazel Street to connect with the CPR in Abbotsford to ship out the finished products across Canada. “Timbers produced at the mill were even used in the construction of the Welland Canal in Ontario. “The mill site was known locally as ‘Milltown’ due to the sprawl of the mill buildings, company housing and general store. The company built several boarding houses, one each for the white, Sikh and Japanese single men, as well as cottages for families of each ethnic group.” “The mill machinery operated on steam. As the mill ran twenty-four hours a day for the most part, dumped all its tailings and sawdust into the lake and was permanently veiled in a haze of smoke, no doubt Milltown was a singularly unpleasant place to live. Luckily for the rest of the community, Milltown was well outside of town at that time.” ‘Town,’ of course, was ‘Abbotsford’ – developed less than a mile east of Mill Lake and, according to MSA Museum, located where it was due to a forest fire providing a natural clearing in the forest. At its peak in the 1920s, the mill was producing 20 million board feet of lumber and an equal number of shingles annually. However, by the 1930s, not only had most of the timber been logged off but the Great Depression hit. By 1934, the mill

was closed, assets dismantled and sold. Since there was no cleanup other than what could be salvaged for sale, the site was a mess. Recognizing the danger of derelict buildings, says MSA Museum, the Abbotsford Lions Club and the District of Matsqui took on the task of cleaning up the former mill site and reclaimed Mill Lake as a community

Lessons associated to my new BlackBerry Todd Martin Assistant Professor Sociology Trinity Western University Contributor
So as a grey-haired, older-looking business type, I walked into a mobile phone store and asked for a BlackBerry. At that moment the place looked like a retro E. F. Hutton commercial where the entire room
freezes in their place, goes silent and stares at you. The sales rep clears his throat and with a look of confusion seeks clarity by asking, “Did you say a BlackBerry? Are you sure? Not an iPhone or ’Droid?” After a brief moment of fanfare and a few dirty looks, I got the
phone I wanted. I don’t know how often I get the sales pitch from the evangelistic efforts of iOS and Android fanboys. Each one seems highly motivated to save me from my ignorance and convert me to their platform. At the end of the day, I understand they are
just trying to help me see the world like they do, but I can’t help think they may just be a little bit insecure with their lemming-like march to the iTunes or Play Store theme songs. Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate the technical and app superiority they may have over my tin can and string, but
when it comes to getting work done, I have what I want. Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero, born a few decades prior to Jesus and 2,000 years before Christmas-less Starbucks coffee cups, had some important insights on human behaviour. Continued on A47

The final mistake From A46
The final mistake of his Six Mistakes Mankind Keeps Making Century after Century is relevant to this discussion: Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do Whether it is phone brands, ideologies about coffee cup logos or our religious convictions, it is difficult not to want everyone to believe and behave like we do. Religious adherents across the spectrum have resorted to all forms of destructive means to convert the non-believer. We may think of ISIS as an extreme example in our day, but interfaith conflict may be even more damning. Sunni and Shiite Muslims are willing to kill each other; Sikhism has its share of black eyes; and Christians are not immune to murder, torture and condemnation of those who call Christ their saviour but vary in other theological points. As a Christian, this pains me to see. I believe that it is God, through the Holy Spirit, who compelled me to see and understand his desire to be in relationship with me, and that through his grace it was and is made possible. I feel compelled to respond to that love by seeking his presence and living a life consistent with his word. I do not feel compelled to convert people (I thought that was God’s job anyway), to knock on their doors, to ridicule their practices or boycott their coffee cups. On the other hand, when someone asks me about my life, I cannot help but tell them about Jesus Christ and the hope that lies within me directly because of that relationship. I do believe that we are to share the good news of Jesus Christ and disciple those who desire to call Jesus Lord. And yes if you see a guy with a strange-looking phone, I will gladly tell you why I use a BlackBerry, but I will not feel insecure to the point I have to try and get you to use one too! PS: Go get a Tim Hortons.

Youth Angel Tree Program Christmas gifts to go to 120 kids Three branches of the Prospera Credit Union in Abbotsford are hosting the Youth Angel Tree Program. Christmas trees have been set up in the branches with cards featuring holiday wishes from more than 120 youth, whose names were provided to the program by Abbotsford Community Services. Residents are invited to take a card from the tree, purchase a new gift for the youth, and bring it back unwrapped to the credit union by Dec. 11. “Last year there was an 18-year-old young
man asking for a pair of work boots to start his very first job,” said Shawn Good, president and CEO of Prospera Credit Union. “Not only was he overwhelmed by the gift when he received it, but it really made a difference in his life as that first job led to a second job as well. Needless to say he is very busy and doing well.” The program, now in its fourth year, takes place at the following locations: the Abbotsford branch at 34630 DeLair Rd., the West Oaks branch at 32700 South Fraser Way and the Clearbrook branch at 32071 South Fraser Way.

worry not, if I might be crude, the four banger, coupled with the new 9G-tronic transmission, is more than adequate on the freeway – zero to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds – and up those hills. And it was quiet in that cabin. Incidentally, the GLC will use four-cylinder power in all versions – gas, diesel and plug-in gas/electric hybrid. Economy ratings are expected to be in the low 8s L/100kms in the city, low 6s on the highway. Dynamic Select is standard fare, allowing the driver to switch between Eco, Comfort, Sport and Sport+ modes. The tester was also equipped with the optional Air Body Control, which improves on its predecessor’s Airmatic system ability to smooth out the ride. Mercedes boasts that the GLC is at home on any terrain. Most of those purchased will become city dwellers, destined to hunt in shopping malls, but the drive proved the GLC is more than capable in the wild. Sadly, the Off-Road Engineering package will not be offered in Canada. An off-road course included a 38-degree incline, which my drive partner Regina Chan expertly scaled, tilted about 25 degrees at one point!

Blind Spot Assist. I’m a sucker for M-B’s Intelligent Drive concept. The various systems take data from the various sensors to boost comfort and safety.

The first Canadian models will be gas-powered, a turbo-diesel comes in the 2017 model year and a plug-in hybrid is scheduled for 2018. A Coupe version is on the way but no date yet. The base sticker price is $44,950 but take it up to the premium package, with COMAND navigation and a superb panoramic roof, and you are nudging 50 grand. Load in those extra tricky active safety technologies and you soon hit the mid-50s.

INFORMATION
In Memory of Scott Tubbs Dear Sean
It’s been a year since that awful day, Your time ran out, you slipped away. We miss your smile, your voice, your touch, The pain we are left with is all too much. We will hold all the memories close in our heart, We will not let your loss tear us apart. It isn’t easy without you that we all know, But it was just too soon, we weren’t ready to let go. You will never be forgotten, we will miss you a ton, For we could not have asked for a more loving, brother, uncle and son.
Always on our mind, Forever in our hearts ~ Love your Family

With you a part of me hath passed away, for in the peopled forest of my mind, a tree made leafless by this wintry wind shall never don again it’s green array, another, if I would, I could not find, and I am grown much older in a day but yet I treasure in my memory your gift of charity, and young heart’s ease, and the dear honour of your amity, for these once mine my life is rich and I scarce know which part may greater be, what I keep of you or you rob from me. ~George Santayana~

On November 15, 2015, our loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Selma Schmidt was called home to her Lord and Saviour and is now singing with the angels. Selma was born December 29, 1919, in Borden, Saskatchewan, to Gerhard and Maria Derksen, the only daughter among four boys. She moved to Yarrow with her parents in 1944. Mom married our father, Adolf, in 1949 and together they raised seven children on several farms in Arnold. She and Dad retired to Clearbrook in 1974 and became faithful members of Bakerview MB Church. Service to her Lord was key to her life. She and Dad served as custodians of both the Arnold and Bakerview churches for many years. She also spent many years volunteering with MCC and Helping Hands, making countless blankets for shipment overseas. She also enjoyed singing, travelling and family dinners with her children and grandchildren. Selma was predeceased by her parents, her husband, Adolf (1990), her brothers Ernest, Henry and Otto and her son Walter (2012). She is survived by her brother, Reuben (Elizabeth) of Saskatoon; her children David (Diane) of Chilliwack, Linda of Kelowna, Albert (Susan) of Salmon Arm, John (Ruth) of Abbotsford, Esther (Jack) Hoekstra of Lumby and Anita (Johnny) Szabo of Abbotsford; daughter-in-law Kathy of Georgetown, ON; 11 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
