Residents ‘fed up’ with Downes Road speeders Aggressive driving is common on rural road, say locals Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A Downes Road resident using a radar gun clocked seven drivers travelling at speeds of 99 km/hr or higher in the 50 km/hr zone on Tuesday, Feb. 9 between 7 and 8 p.m. Two of those vehicles registered

speeds of 125 and 128 km/hr. The man, who didn’t want his name published, estimated that another 30 drivers were driving faster than 90 km/hr. The resident, who has lived in the area for more than 20 years, says he’s fed up. “Nobody wants to use the bike

lanes. Nobody feels safe walking to the community mailbox … It’s a freeway,” he said. The man has since presented a petition to city council and the Abbotsford Police Department (APD), asking for solutions to speeding and aggressive driving along the route.

The petition was signed by all but one of the approximately 20 households on the portion of Downes Road between Gladwin and Seldon roads. The document requests that the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) “enforce the speed limit” and “have a visual presence” on the road and that the city look into “traffic calming measures.” The man said he routinely observes cars crashing into fences, roll-over collisions and vehicles passing on a double-solid line. In one incident, he saw two cars heading in the opposite direction passing other vehicles on a double-solid line. Their actions caused other drivers to have to brake suddenly, almost resulting in a six-car pileup. The resident says the APD does not have enough officers in its traffic section to enforce speeds along the route and to target dangerous drivers. The APD currently has seven members in its traffic section, out of 217 total members. The man says other police agencies he canvassed have a greater percentage of traffic officers. For example, Langley RCMP has 13 out of 195 members, and Coquitlam has 19 out of 235, he said. Const. Paul Walker said the APD’s seven traffic members include four constables, two traffic analysts/reconstructionists and one sergeant. Continued on A4

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

an investigation that began in October of that year by the Abbotsford Police Department’s major crime unit. That investigation led to the execution of a search warrant at an east Abbotsford home, where police seized several computers, CDs, DVDs and other materials. At the time, police said Farren’s arrest had been the result of the work of a diligent detective who has been searching for evidence of people distributing or possessing images of child sexual abuse in Abbotsford.

Concerns spur increased enforcement

Jailed for child porn

An Abbotsford man has been sentenced to a nine-month jail term after previously being convicted of possessing child pornography. Joshua Lee Farren, 32, was sentenced Tuesday in Abbotsford provincial court, where an additional charge of importing or distributing child porn was stayed. His jail term will be followed by three years’ probation. Farren was found guilty at trial in September 2014. He was arrested in December 2013 following

As well, he said all patrol officers include traffic enforcement as part of their regular duties, and the RCMP’s regional Integrated Road Safety Unit is in Abbotsford weekly. Three years ago, the APD had 12 officers in its traffic section, but Walker said police resources are shifted as priorities change. The recent focus on gang violence in the Townline Hill area in west Abbotsford has meant officers have been pulled from the traffic section to target those issues, Walker said. He said other police agencies might choose to allocate their officers dif-

ferently – for example, with more in traffic and fewer in patrol. Walker acknowledged that Downes Road is an ongoing concern, but other feeder routes – such as Maclure Road, South Fraser Way, Mt. Lehman, Zero Avenue, Harris Road and 16th Avenue – face similar issues, and must also be monitored accordingly. He said police increase enforcement on a particular route when there has been a hike in vehicle or pedestrian collisions, or when they receive increased concerns from residents. They have ramped up their enforcement on Downes Road in the last couple of weeks due to these concerns,

Walker said. City of Abbotsford spokesperson Katherine Treloar said because Downes Road is classified as a “rural collector road,” it is excluded from the city’s current traffic calming policy. She said approximately 4,200 vehicles travel along Downes Road daily. “At this time, the city has no speed data to confirm whether speeding is an issue or not on that portion of the road.” Treloar said the city has received the residents’ petition and will share it with the APD “for their consideration regarding speeding education and enforcement opportunities.”

Pipeline company responds to Abbotsford and other interveners Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

In its final submissions filed with the National Energy Board Wednesday, Kinder Morgan Canada rejected the majority of the City of Abbotsford’s outstanding concerns regarding the proposed twinning of the company’s Trans Mountain Pipeline. Abbotsford had told the National Energy Board (NEB) that the pipeline imposes millions of dollars in infrastructure costs on municipalities, and that emergency preparedness measures have thus far been substandard and must be improved. But in its final submission to the NEB Wednesday, Kinder Morgan dismissed the need for compulsory compensation, while full-scale disaster exercises at the company’s Sumas Mountain tank farm would be too onerous for other “stakeholders.� Kinder Morgan’s reply to dozens of interveners’ arguments signals the end of the NEB hearings into the proposed project, which would nearly triple the capacity of the pipeline. It runs for nearly 30 kilometres through Abbotsford, and its expansion would also see an additional tank added to Kinder Morgan’s Sumas Mountain tank farm and pump station. The NEB is expected to deliver a recommendation in May to the federal government, which will make its own

decision on the pipeline’s future by the end of the year. The city and several other local governments had commissioned a report that suggested the expanded pipeline would cost Abbotsford a total of $17 million in additional costs spread out over the next 50 years. Those expenses stem from having to deal with the pipeline while constructing, repairing or updating city infrastructure. Kinder Morgan had previously disputed parts of the study. In its reply to proposed conditions by the city and its co-interveners, the company argued the NEB shouldn’t force it to compensate cities for long-term costs. It said “voluntary agreements� with municipalities will cover most costs, and noted that it pays millions in taxes to local governments. Elsewhere in its submissions, Kinder Morgan says it currently pays around $2 million each year in taxes to Abbotsford, and that number is expected to rise to $3.4 million if the pipeline expansion goes through. Abbotsford also had voiced concerns about Kinder Morgan’s emergency preparedness. The company had previously been criticized for its reaction to two previous spills in Abbotsford, in 2005 and then in 2012. City officials were adamant that on-the-ground training exercises were needed at the Sumas tank farm, instead of “tabletop� plan-

ning sessions that see participants drill for emergencies in boardrooms. The city has asked the NEB to require full-scale exercises in response to both a spill and a fire at the Sumas tank farm. But in its response, Kinder Morgan said full-scale drills at the Sumas facility aren’t necessary, referring to its existing “robust exercise program,� along with live exercises it has committed at other locations. It also said adding exercises would impose too many costs on other “external stakeholders� that would be involved. Throughout its submission, the company pledged to continue to consult with municipalities and did accede to a request to document location of valves in each community. Mayor Henry Braun said that while Kinder Morgan had acceded to dozens of requests from the city during discussions over the last two years, he wasn’t surprised that the company didn’t back down in response to city submissions. “That’s just part of the negotiations that go back and forth,� he said. “We said what we said in our presentation, and the NEB will rule on that.� Although full-bore exercises continue to be a sticking point, Braun noted that Kinder Morgan complied with a city request for an oil spill containment and response unit to be stationed at the tank farm.

Opportunity to enhance a beautiful asset Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand While I agree that city council may have put the cart before the horse in agreeing to accept a $1.3 million compensatory gift from Kinder Morgan before the pipeline project is approved, the decision to convert that money into a proper “clubhouse” at Ledgeview Golf and Country Club makes sense. Ledgeview is one of the most scenic golf courses in the Lower Mainland – its western vistas during a sunny day enhanced by sparkling snow-capped peaks all the way to West Vancouver. At night, the lights of the valley are eclipsed only by the twinkling of lit ski runs on Mt. Seymour, Grouse and Cypress. What better, more attractive, location to hold weddings, receptions, conventions or community meetings? Except that today the “clubhouse” is little

more than a converted residence built more than 50 years ago and, due to size and layout, is not conducive to much more than a golfers’ hangout. Fact of the matter is that Ledgeview belongs to the taxpayers of Abbotsford, and in the agreement putting the property into city ownership is the clause that it remain a golf course in perpetuity. So we have it, yet due to its configuration, it is limited strictly to golf, despite its name – Ledgeview Golf and Country Club. Those last two words should be italicized because it is anything but. However, with a proper, specially built centre, the lands and facility could, and should, become a significant revenue generator. Throw in a swimming pool and perhaps a couple of tennis courts and it could become a true “country club” where perhaps people like me who don’t golf would be enticed to stop by, have dinner, and enjoy a drink while taking in the spectacular vista. And no, I am not talking about exclusivity only available to the well-heeled. Today, anyone can stop by the current clubhouse and have a drink, and perhaps even,

when the “restaurant” is operating, something to eat. It is your/our facility due to city ownership and is open to all without membership or attendance fees, unless of course you wish to golf. Golfing is, today, the course’s only source of revenue, some of which is returned to the

Fact of the matter is that Ledgeview belongs to the taxpayers of Abbotsford. city via taxes, user fees etc. by the golf club operator. However, those revenue “returns” pale in comparison to what the location could generate should a much larger, modern facility be constructed. It would be nice, don’t you think, to have a city facility actually providing a financial return rather than simply costing us tax-dollar support. Additionally, should (and that is still a big question) Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expan-

sion project get go-ahead approvals from senior government, its route through Ledgeview will essentially close the golf course for close to six months. The financial blow to the golf club and the impact on city revenues deserves compensation, and it appears from the memorandum of understanding that Kinder Morgan agrees, and thus the offer of funding for a new clubhouse. I think the city was right to choose that over general revenue funds. For more than 40 years I have lived within horse-riding and walking distance of Ledgeview. I drive by it virtually every day and am constantly reminded of how underused it is as a community facility. Surely such a valuable parcel of land could be, and should be, a star attraction used by many to turn it into a financial asset rather than as a simple playground for a relatively small group of golfers. Diversify the asset, make it more inclusive and, to paraphrase W.P. Kinsella in Shoeless Joe’s Field of Dreams, if you build it, they will come. markrushton@abbynews.com 34375 Gladys Ave., Abbotsford, B.C. V2S 2H5

Citizens to weigh in on city politicians’ pay Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

ing members, who will be appointed by senior city staff. The city is looking for members who have experience in areas such as business, law, human resources, community service or engagement, or managing a complex organization. Deputy city manager Jake Rudolph said the city is looking for a diverse group, with at least one member with experience in each of those categories. Rudolph said the review is expected to take place throughout the spring, with a recommendation delivered to the city over the summer. The city will post information about how to apply to the panel on its website and in The News.

Abby business named awards finalist An Abbotsford business has been named a finalist for the Edison Awards.

Five Abbotsford citizens will get the chance to determine how much the city pays its elected politicians. Council voted Monday to establish a “Council Renumeration Citizen Task Force” that will determine how much of a raise, if any, elected city politicians will receive. Council pay was previously addressed in 2007 by a citizens’ review, and then in 2011 by hired consultants. The last review saw the mayor’s salary set at $94,500, with councillors making $37,200 each year. That review suggested council and the mayor should receive raises to match the inflation

rate over the following years. But after a modest pay bump in 2012 of $700 for the mayor and $300 for councillors, city politicians’ salaries haven’t budged since. “Given that the most recent review considered by council was conducted in 2011 by consultants, it is suggested that a citizen review committee would be the appropriate method to undertake the next formal compensation policy review,” staff wrote in a report to council. A comparison of politicians’ pay with those in 11 other similar-sized municipalities put Abbotsford’s mayor and council pay at eighth in that group. The citizens’ review panel will include up to five volunteer vot-

$4M for water treatment The federal government is upgrading Abbotsford and Mission’s joint-owned wastewater treatment plant with a $4.3 million boost. The funding is going to the Joint Abbotsford Mission Environmental Systems Wastewater Treatment Plant’s (JAMES) ultraviolet disinfection project, to improve health and safety standards and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. According to the City of Abbotsford, the ultraviolet disinfection project essentially replaces the current treatment process, involving chlorine gas and sulphur dioxide, with ultraviolet light.

New Patients Welcome!

Using Knives in the Kitchen - Part 2 As part two of a series of three columns on cutting, this one will focus on cutting boards. If you missed my previous column on knives, please email me at dez@chefdez.com and I will be more than happy to send it to you. The next column will focus on cutting techniques. Almost every household has some type of cutting board to offer a place for chopping or slicing in order to protect their kitchen countertops. With so many to choose from, hopefully I can help shed some light on this subject by discussing the pros and cons of the three main types of cutting boards available: glass, plastic and wood. One of my biggest pet peeves is a glass cutting board, and I take every opportunity to advise anyone I can of the reasons. Tempered glass cutting boards are made to offer a surface that is easily sanitized by hand or by putting them in the dishwasher, and offer a surface that will never deteriorate. However, because this cutting surface is so hard, it will dull even the highest quality kitchen knife faster than any other cutting board. They usually depict an attractive photo or print under the surface of the

glass which makes them desirable to have out and ready to use, but I would highly recommend using them only as a serving platter and nothing else. Plastic cutting boards on the other hand offer a softer surface that won’t damage knives and can still be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning. The plastic surface can also be subjected to sanitizing cleansers, like bleach, without damaging the board itself. However, recent studies have revealed that over time bacteria can build up in the scores from knives on the surface, that even sanitizing will not remove completely. When deep scores have been made in a cutting board, it is recommended to reface the board. Plastic boards are very difficult to resurface, and it is much easier to purchase a new one. Wooden cutting boards have been thought of surfaces that hold bacteria, and many households have switched to plastic for this very reason, but wood offers natural antiseptic qualities. The wood also can naturally reseal small scores from cutting. A food grade mineral oil should be used on a regular basis to help stop the wood from drying out and cracking. I prefer to use plastic cutting boards for meat or seafood. This way I can san-

itize them in the dishwasher, until they get well used that is. Wooden cutting boards offer a cutting surface for all other applications such as fruits, vegetables, etc. I do not own a glass cutting board. The most unique cutting surface I have ever used is a phone book. I was invited to a “guy’s night” poker party at a bachelor’s apartment and it turned into an impromptu cooking demonstration. His kitchen was not well equipped, so we sanitized the outside of his Yellow Pages and used it as a cutting board! While this might be an amusing story, I strongly advise against this practice. Dear Chef Dez: Can you suggest a natural cleanser for cleaning cutting boards? Diane T., Nanaimo, BC Dear Diane: I often sprinkle a cutting board liberally with salt and rub the surface with the cut sides of a halved lemon. The salt acts as an abrasive, and the lemon not only offers a natural acid, but a fresh clean scent as well.

A lifetime of hairdressing Rita Penner has been doing hair for nearly 65 years Abbotsford News

When Rita Penner was setting up her first hairdressing shop in 1957, her insurance broker told her, “You’re not going to make it here in Abbotsford.� As the days rolled by outside his office window in Clearbrook, an increasing number of people were walking across the parking lot into Penner’s salon. About three weeks later, he walked over and apologized – and Penner got her insurance. She was 22. Now it’s 2016, and Penner has almost 65 years of hairdressing experience. And she’s still doing hair in her salon in her Clearbrook home. She specializes in styles from the 1920s through to the ’50s, because of the waves and curls involved. They’ve always been her favourite. She wears her own hair in a short, curly style. Her handshake speaks of decades of briskly welcoming new patrons. She reaches for old photos from shelves above her head

KIER JUNOS Abbotsford News

Rita Penner has been doing hair in her basement salon for over 50 years. and easily relates the stories behind them. One picture shows her broken foot in a blue cast for the second time, still managing to serve someone by sitting on the vanity counter. It would be a stretch to guess she’s now 81. Her salon echoes her vintage sentiments, featuring vintage hair dryer seats in cream vinyl lined along on the wall opposite the vanity mirrors. The seats used to be green, and there used to be five of them. Penner is trying

to take on less work these days. In her salon’s halcyon days, she would hire four to five women to work with her. Patrons would call them “the happy gang.� They would talk about boyfriends, husbands, breakups and other dramas. They would chat in the kitchen area down the hall, where patrons perhaps wouldn’t be able to smell the cigarette smoke. Penner felt slightly ill when she smelled Black Cat cigarettes as a teenager on her first

bus to hair school in Vancouver. The standards were extremely meticulous, and Penner was much quicker than others. Patrons would ask for her, saying, “I want that girl!� In her Abbotsford salon, Penner would also cut men’s hair. But eventually she wanted to spend more time specifically with her “ladies.� She’s made many friends. Some she still invites over for lunch. Others have passed away, like B, her best friend, or Nora Deadman, who was customer until she was more than 106. Most of her clientele are seniors. There aren’t any teenagers or children, since they’re probably looking for more modern styles. And the kids whose hair she did cut in her Abbotsford salon are all seniors now. That does mean helping some patrons down the steps to her salon. “If I’m still hairdressing at 90,� says Penner, looking at 2026, “We’ll have a party.�

Collision between motorcycle and SUV

ĘŅĵ±Ÿ {±ĹÚŅĬĀ Friday, March 4, 2016 Matsqui Centennial Auditorium Pre-Concert talk at 6:50 pm Concert starts at 7:30 pm

The young American pianist THOMAS PANDOLFI is an exciting virtuoso who, with each passing season, is becoming more and more sought after by audiences worldwide, and showered with superlatives by critics for his passionate artistry and amazing technique. Equally popular as a recitalist, Pandolfi has appeared in concert halls nationwide. The Washington Post has described him as "an artist who is master of both the grand gesture and the sensual line. “

A motorcyclist was taken to hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening following a collision on Tuesday afternoon in Abbotsford. The crash took place at about 2 p.m. on South Fraser Way near Countess Street. Const. Paul Walker said it appears that the 22-year-old motorcyclist was heading west on South Fraser Way when a 72-year-old man driving an eastbound Ford Explorer attempted to make a left turn off of South Fraser onto Countess. Walker said the motorcyclist crashed into the back end of the SUV, resulting in him becoming airborne and crashing to the ground. He said police are continuing to investigate the collision.

If you’re hurt in a car accident, your physical injuries may heal fairly quickly. But the accident could also trigger long-lasting psychological injuries – for which you could be entitled to compensation.

Suicide and Homicide Support Group

In a recent case, Tess (names changed) stood at an intersection one Friday, waiting to cross. She was struck by Mike’s speeding car, which ran a red light. The impact lifted Tess off her feet. Her head and shoulders hit the windshield and she flew some 15 feet up in the air, landing about 20 feet away.

Information Meeting

ICBC admitted Mike was to blame for the accident, but disagreed that the accident caused Tess’s post-accident psychological difficulties.

Tess’s recollection of the accident was hazy. She was taken to hospital by ambulance. Tests were done and she was sent home with her parents. The next Monday, Tess went back to teaching, but due to pain and exhaustion, she took almost three weeks off work. She completed her teaching term in June, and for another year taught part-time. But she then took consecutive leaves of absence from the Langley school board over the next three years. She mostly did tutoring and other less demanding tasks during this time. Overall, Tess suffered surprisingly minor physical injuries from the impact. Apart from her head injuries, her body showed some bruising, and she had chest and back pain and neck issues. All her external physical injuries healed fairly quickly and fully though.

from the accident led to her three-year leave of absence from the school board. She also said her personality and ability to function had been impaired, dimming her future employment prospects too. ICBC admitted Tess suffered an MTBI from the accident but argued it didn’t lead to permanent or long lasting psychological damage – there were other reasons for Tess’s leaves of absence and her current mental condition. Years before the accident, Tess had worked in Africa with young children and found that work very meaningful. When she returned home she regained her teaching credentials but had some readjustment issues. The work wasn’t as meaningful she felt, and she had trouble coping with teaching in the normal prescribed environment, rather than her preferred Montessori environment, even before the accident. ICBC argued it was psychological issues pre-dating the accident that caused her ongoing difficulties. The court pointed out that “mild” traumatic brain injury” is a misleading, relative term – it’s really a serious brain injury that can sometimes persist. Tess wasn’t exaggerating her problems after the accident. Her coping skills, energy and performance as a teacher suffered after the accident. She became irritable, and compared to before, her memory, concentration and mental function were impaired. She also became depressed and socially isolated. The car accident was a cause of these emotional and mental problems, though not the only cause. The court decided Tess had sustained a complicated MTBI and awarded her about $700,000 in total compensation. Written by Janice and George Mucalov, LL.B.s with contribution by STANLEY COPE.

Severely intoxicated driver caught by cops A driver who police described as “severely intoxicated” was pulled over on Sumas Way in Abbotsford on Tuesday night. RCMP Lower Mainland Traffic Services was alerted at about 10 p.m. after several calls came in from other motorists about an erratic driver on Hwy 1. Const. Blair Fuller said that when the first officer arrived on the scene, the driver did not pull over and police had to move their vehicles in front of him to get him to stop on Sumas Way (Highway 11) between Old Yale and Old Clayburn roads. Fuller said the driver had difficulty walking when he was taken out of his vehicle. “We actually kind of had to make sure that he wouldn’t wobble or stumble into traffic. A couple of times when he was walking toward the passenger side of the police car, he actually stumbled into the ditch, and at one point he actually fell down.” Police found a 26ounce bottle of vodka in the vehicle, which was “about 80 per cent empty.” The driver had no previous history of impaired driving and was given a 90-day roadside suspension.

B.C. budget allows for 25 per cent deduction Kelvin GAWLEY Contributor

Tons of fresh, locally grown fruits and veggies are donated to the Abbotsford Food Bank every year. That tonnage may soon increase, thanks to a new provision announced this week by the B.C. Liberals in their 2016 budget. A new 25 per cent income tax credit for farmers who donate to registered charities could make it more affordable for them to give away excess produce, benefitting organizations such as the Abbotsford Food Bank. The market value of all food donated from yesterday onward may be claimed on the farmer’s 2016 tax return. This means a grower who gives away $1,000 worth of potatoes will pay $250 less in income tax. Kayla Feenstra picks up produce from farms around Abbotsford for the food bank, which last year received more than 22,000 kilograms of food with an estimated value of $50,000 from local farmers. The new credit would put an additional $12,500 in the pockets of Abbotsford farmers, if the same is donated this year. Feenstra said that before implementing the pick-up program in 2013, few donations were received from farms. “Farmers are typically pretty busy so they don’t have time to drive to the food bank,� said Feenstra, who thinks the new tax credit will encourage farmers to donate, because it will make the extra sorting, moving and packing work worth their time. Operations like Taves Family Farms, which Feenstra says is one of the biggest and most reliable donors, will benefit financially. “They’ve been absolutely incredible,� she said. Owner Loren Taves said he donates “tons� of fruits and vegeta-

bles almost every week, especially during the summer. The dollar value of the donations he made last year was “in the thousands,� he said. Taves said the credit won’t affect the amount he donates, as he already gives as much as possible. Arina Onninks, Farmers can now claim tax credthe owner its for donating food. of Onninks however. Blueberry Farm “I think a farm should in Abbotsford, said she donates berries to do that anyway. When a church that makes you live in a commubreakfast for the nity, you have to look homeless.

Onninks tells a story of an encounter she had at a recent tradeshow in Vancouver, when someone asked her how blueberries were made. “Who made the berries?’ I said, ‘God!’ “They looked at me and said: ‘God?’ And I said, ‘Yeah!’ They thought they were made by machines.�

ASIA Sumas presents Bye Bye Birdie

Advertisement

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! 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.

Students of Abbotsford School of Integrated Arts’ (ASIA) Sumas Mountain present their production of the musical Bye Bye Birdie next week. Artistic director Penny Miller said the show is family-appropriate, as it is a smaller 90-minute version of the fulllength Broadway production, with some of the more suggestive dialogue removed. The production features more than 40 students who have been rehearsing since last October. Another 10 or so add behind-thescenes and backstage support. This is the school’s sixth musical production, and it is the first time that a live orchestra will be used. The orchestra, under the direction of Paul Luongo, consists of nine musicians from the school and community. Miller said one of the most difficult tasks of this year’s production has been preparing to take the production,

which has been rehearsed in the school gym, and translating it to the stage of the Abbotsford Arts Centre (AAC), complete with an orchestra pit. Bye Bye Birdie is a satire on American society set in 1958 and was inspired by Elvis Presley and his draft notice into the army in 1957. The musical features the character Conrad Birdie, whose final national publicity stunt before leaving for the army is to bid a typical teenage girl goodbye with a kiss on the Ed Sullivan show. The honour is won by Kim MacAfee. Conrad’s arrival in Kim’s hometown causes the quiet little town to go into a tailspin. The ASIA production stars Halle Galloway as Kim, Noah Wade as Conrad Birdie, Will Fung as Conrad’s agent Albert Peterson, and Maayan Misner as Albert’s secretary Rosie. Musical director is Heather Beckett, and costuming is by Jacqui Streber and her mom Marilyn Troyer. The production takes place Thursday, Feb. 25 at noon and 7 p.m. and Friday, Feb. 26 at noon at the Abbotsford Arts Centre, 2329 Crescent Way. Tickets are $7 for the matinees and $15 for the evening show. They are available at the school (36232 Lower Sumas Mtn. Rd.) by phone at 604-850-5207 or at the box office one hour before showtime.

Jacqueline Clark of Abbotsford is competing in the TV cooking show MasterChef Canada.

Local cook tackles MasterChef Kevin Mills Mission Record

Cooking is a passion for Jacqueline Clark. While the Abbotsford resident’s profession is an accountant for the District of Mission, her real joy comes from creating in the kitchen. Now Clark is putting her talents to the ultimate test. Clark is a Top 40 contestant on the popular CTV program MasterChef Canada and has a chance, this weekend, to move forward by qualifying for one of the Top 14 spots. While she enjoys many cooking shows, Clark said she was “obsessed” with the U.S. version of MasterChef. “I always wished I could apply for it because I’m generally a fairly competitive person and I like to challenge myself and I love cooking.” When a Canadian version of the show was created, she knew it was something she “needed to do.” Clark tried out last year, but just missed qualifying. This year was a different story. For her audition, she created a five spice pork belly with crispy skin, as well as beets and onions done three different ways. It was enough to convince show producers to put her through to the Top 40. The first episode aired last week. Clark will now participate in a challenge on Sunday at 7 p.m. on CTV to try to secure her spot in the Top 14. “I have confidence in myself,” she said calling her style of meal preparation as “country cooking.”

Gallery 7 Theatre hosts the third workshop on Tuesday, Feb. 23 in its Actor’s Bootcamp series. The workshop, called The Actor’s Toolbox, runs for three consecutive Tuesdays from 7 to 10 p.m. at the theatre’s rehearsal hall at #100 - 34595 Third Ave. The Actor’s Toolbox will focus on building foundational acting and performance techniques that every actor should know. The aim is to graft these techniques into the actor’s professional DNA so they are instinctual. Skills learned in previous workshops in the Actor’s Bootcamp series will be applied and further explored, though previous participation is not necessary. Leading the workshop will be Erla Faye Forsyth, a graduate of Studio 58 in Vancouver. She has performed in numerous productions over the years at FORSYTH Pacific Theatre in Vancouver, including The Foreigner and How to Write a New Book for the Bible, for which she received Jessie Richardson awards. Other credits include It’s a Wonderful Life for the Arts Club and Since You Left Us for Presentation House Theatre. “This is a unique training opportunity for both the experienced and emerging performing artist,” said Ken Hildebrant, Gallery 7 Theatre’s artistic director.

Abbotsford athletes ready for BC Winter Games to be able to represent the region and I’m really proud and happy.” Brown said the goal for the team is to medal, and the 14-year-old Rick Hansen Secondary student would like to continue her family tradition of excelling at the Games. “I never met my great-grandfather, but it’s cool because I can kind of continue on from him,” she said. Another local athlete hitting the ice at the Games is figure skater Chadsey Maria Honig. The 12-year-old Chief Dan George Middle School student saw the sport as a way to compete and fend off her harsh allergies. “When I was young, I had really bad allergies and the only thing that made it better was the cold,” she said, noting her

When she puts on her ringette jersey this weekend at the BC Winter Games in Penticton, Abbotsford’s Josie Brown will be following in the footsteps of her great-grandfather. Back at a BC Summer Games in the 1980s, Brown’s great-grandfather competed in horseshoes. Now, three decades later, she will continue a sort of family tradition. Brown first laced on skates at the age of seven, playing for five years before taking a break from the sport. She returned to the ice with a new passion for the sport a few years later. “I got a little tired of it and had a few other things going on,” she

Head coach Paul Payne, assistant coach Sharon Smit, and assistant coach Caitlyn Payne all live in

Abbotsford, and Paul is also the coach of Brown’s Fraser Valley Rage U16 ringette team. Brown attended tryouts at the Abbotsford Centre in November and said she was thrilled to be named to the team later that month. “It was really exciting,” she said. “It means a lot

She trains five to six days a week for at least two hours, and qualified for the Games after a strong showing at the sectionals earlier this year. Just two weeks ago, she placed second at the Winter Skate event in Chilliwack, and Honig wants to ride that momentum to a top 10 finish in her division at the Games. Brown and Honig are two of a handful of locals competing, including: – Miranda Pinto in archery; – Inderpal Gill, Sabrina McLean, Mike Palitti and Derek Santema in basket-

ball, Special Olympics; – Ben Garrett and Carlos Perez in wheelchair basketball; – Ethan Algra, Jinny Lee, Soyung Park and Thomas Schratz in biathlon; – Kim Bonneau in curling; – Jadyn Ansell, Katelyn Cotterell, Jeremy Filiatrault, Micheal Frew, Logan Isfeld, Kris Krunick, Megan MacLellan and Samantha Reitsma in gymnastics; – Mintaj Brar, Blaze Burgess, Karissa Comeau, Turner Cyr, Payton Harris, Isabelle Harris, Derek Moe, Marco Sidhu, Thane Timmerman and Carter Veenendaal in judo; and – Bella Bay, Chase Burns and Mathew Yokohama in skiing.

Pilots take 2-0 lead The playoffs are where heroes are made, and on Wednesday in Aldergrove, it was Pilots forward Jackson Waniek who earned that label. With the game locked in a 3-3 tie in double overtime, Waniek scored on a penalty shot to win the game for the Pilots, giving them a 2-0 lead over the Aldergrove Kodiaks in the best-of-seven first round Pacific Junior Hockey League series. The Pilots never led in the game, falling behind by a goal three different times, only to tie the game up each time. Dryden Michaud and Waniek scored two goals apiece, while goalie Jacob Crawford stopped 28 saves. The Pilots went two for nine on the power play, and killed off one of two shorthanded opportunities. Game one on Tuesday in Abbotsford saw the Pilots’ special teams take centre stage. Abbotsford scored three power play goals, en route to a 4-1 win to open the series. The Pilots also killed off all six penalties they were assessed. Alexander Methorst, Erik Olson, Brady Morton and Devon Becker all tallied for Abbotsford. Crawford had a strong game in between the pipes, stopping 31 of 32 shots. Game three occurs tonight (Friday) in Abbotsford at the MSA Arena. Face-off is set for 7:30 p.m. Game four is scheduled for Sunday in Aldergrove, and game five, if necessary, is set for Monday at 7 p.m. in Abbotsford.

Abby rivalry closing out Pacwest volleyball season

UFV’s Mandelyn Erikson prepares to serve against the Douglas Royals on Feb. 12. The Cascades close the season with a home and home against the CBC Bearcats.

said it’s a good chance for his team to become reacquainted with the CBC gym, the host of the Pacwest provincial playoffs from Feb. 25 to 27. “We’re definitely taking that opportunity to get comfortable there,” he said. “We just need to focus on playing the game and working to get better. We didn’t have a great weekend against Douglas last weekend, and we want to get better against CBC. That’s the most important thing for us

The UFV Cascades and CBC Bearcats will renew their rivalry this week to close out the Pacwest volleyball regular season. The UFV men’s team has a chance to climb to third in the final standings, which would mean a first-round match against the sixthranked team in round one of the playoffs next weekend.

The UFV women are locked into the fifth seed for the playoffs, but are hoping to snap a four-game losing skid. “I respect this rivalry,” said Cascades women’s coach Mike Gilray. “I respect what [CBC head coach] Duncan [Harrison] does with his pro-

gram, and I want to battle them. I want to go into the playoffs playing our style of volleyball, and I think we’ve gotten away from that the last few weekends.” The CBC women have also failed to qualify for the playoffs and sit in seventh place, with a record of four wins and 18 losses. The pair of games see the clubs play at CBC on Thursday and at UFV on Friday. Women’s games start at 6 p.m., with the men tipping off at 8 p.m.

Hometown Hockey comes to Abby

More coverage. Better call quality. Faster data.

The Rogers Hometown Hockey event is set to take over Abbotsford on Saturday and Sunday. The hockey festival celebrates the sport from coast to coast, and brings activities, games, live entertainment and food trucks to Exhibition Park in central Abbotsford. Perhaps the biggest winner of the weekend is the Abbotsford Minor Hockey Association, which will receive a donation of $15,000 from event organizers on Saturday. Former Vancouver Canucks player Brendan Morrison will be on hand on both days to sign autographs and take pictures with fans. Scotiabank commemorative jerseys will be given away free to all youth under 16. The jerseys are branded “Abbotsford” on the back, with the number 16 to recognize the year the tour came to Abbotsford. Also on hand will be an Instaprint machine, which instantly prints photos if they are tagged to Twitter or Instagram with #the5thseason. Other activities include: the Rogers Share Everything Zone, where fans can engage in unique interactive experiences; the Scotiabank Community Locker Room featuring meet and greets with NHL alumni, interactive games and a Scotia Hockey Club commemorative jersey giveaway for youth 16 and under; The Dodge Stow ’n’ Go Challenge as well as a chance to win a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan and $5,000 for a local minor hockey association; Samsung’s The Situation Room, where fans can test their skills against a series of hockey plays, just like NHL officials in this interactive studio; Sportsnet Be a Broadcaster, where participants can call an NHL game highlight reel alongside Sportsnet anchor Evanka Osmak; PlayStation video games; and ball hockey. Local hockey teams also have an opportunity to win the Cheer Like Never Before contest. Teams can upload a video of their team cheer, with the top five vote-getters invited to take part in the festivities when the Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour visits Abbotsford. The winning team in each town will then be in the running to win the trip of a lifetime – including a trip to an NHL game and a VIP Game Day Experience – and perform their team cheer in an NHL dressing room. Saturday’s festivities run from noon to 6 p.m. The activity ramps up on Sunday, with broadcasters Ron MacLean, Tara Slone and Caroline Cameron; country musician Chad Brownlee; and Canucks alumni Morrison, Kirk MacLean and Jyrki Lumme on hand. The Scotiabank Hot Stove with Morrison runs from 12:15 to 12:45 p.m. on Sunday. The NHL match-ups feature the Calgary Flames vs. Anaheim Ducks followed by the Colorado Avalanche vs. Vancouver Canucks, with a special pre-game show hosted live on site by Ron MacLean from the Sportsnet Mobile Studio beginning at 3:30 p.m on Sportsnet. The festival goes from 11 a.m. until the end of the Canucks game on Sunday. For more on the tour, visit hometownhockey.com.

We’ve upgraded our Greater Vancouver network. If you’re a WIND customer in the Greater Vancouver area you should have already noticed better network coverage, faster data speeds and improved call quality. We’ve added new equipment, additional wireless spectrum and expanded our coverage in Richmond, Surrey, South Surrey, Langley, Aldergrove, Abbotsford, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver, North Vancouver and New Westminster, with more to come in the future.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT AGAINST BULLYING ON FEBRUARY 24

Recognizing cyberbullying Before social media became so prevalent, instances of bullying were somewhat easy to recognize. However, with a good majority of children now engaged in digital networking and social media, bullying may not end with the ringing of the school bell, and evidence of bullying may not be so readily apparent. According to Cyberbullying statistics from the i-SAFE foundation, more than half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyberbullying. More than 80 percent of teens use a mobile phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for repeated cyberbullying. Cyberbullying takes place through electronic technology and differs from traditional forms of bullying. Cyberbullying can occur via text messaging, blogging, updates to social me-

dia sites and/or phone conversations. What makes cyberbullying more difficult to detect and remedy than traditional bullying is that sometimes this type of bullying is veiled in secrecy. Those who engage in cyberbullying can create aliases and accounts under false names, allowing them to covertly engage in bullying behavior. As a result, tracking down bullies can be challenging. Although cyberbullying is on the rise, there are some things that parents and children can do to help put a stop to such unfortunate instances. • Parents who feel their child is not emotionally ready for the responsibility of a digital device can hold back on purchasing a smartphone or choose one with very limited features. Some schools set strict limits on phone usage at school, and children who go only from school to home and vice versa may not have the need for an “emergency phone” that can open up a window for trouble.

• Adolescents and teens should feel comfortable talking with their parents without the fear of reprimand. Otherwise, they may hide instances of cyberbullying or not know how to broach sensitive topics like bullying. Parents can engage in conversation with their children often and stress that the doors of communication are always open. • Teens should be made aware that cyberbullying is a very real occurrence and is not just other kids “having fun” or “joking.” If behavior is repetitive and hurtful, it should be made public and addressed. • Parents can monitor and limit their children’s personal accounts. Some smartphone and tablet applications can be mirrored on the main account, enabling parents to see incoming text or video messages. • A laptop or desktop computer should be placed in a shared space so that usage can be monitored. Parents can restrict tablet or smartphone usage to public areas. • When online, children should be advised not to share personal information. Social media sites

may be used by bullies to gather sensitive information about a person that can be used against them at a later time. Children should be urged to keep passwords secret and to never give information such as birthdays, phone numbers and addresses to people who aren’t close friends. Friend lists should be restricted to only those people students interact with frequently to minimize the chance for bullying or other inappropriate behavior. • Teens who have been bullied can keep evidence of the bullying and may benefit from talking with a counselor. Cyberbullying is a growing concern for educators and parents and has far-reaching implications. Getting smart about this phenomenon can help staunch new cases of online bullying.

Adults should remain diligent in monitoring what kids are doing online. Bullying can take place through digital devices, such as mobile phones.

Film series continues at UFV The Palestine film series continues Wednesday, Feb. 24 at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford with the screening of the award-winning documentary Budrus. The film chronicles one Palestinian village’s non-violent struggle to stop the construction of the Israeli separation barrier through their town. The screening, which is sponsored by the political science department, takes place at 5:30 p.m. in room A252. It is free and open to the public. UFV alumnus Philip Sherwood and UFV student Colter Louwerse are helping organize the event and are encouraged by the response so far. “Over 50 people viewed the first film in the series,” said Louwerse. “It’s clear that many people are looking for a deeper understanding of the conflict and how it might be resolved.” Budrus is the second of four films in the series. The Gatekeepers shows on March 7 at 3:00 p.m. in room B121, and The Stones Cry Out: The Story of the Palestinian Christians will be screened March 23 at 5:30 p.m. in room A252. A time for discussion will follow each film.

Six local cadets to national event Six cadets from the 861 Silverfox air cadet squadron in Abbotsford are headed to Valcartier, Que. next month to participate in the National Cadet Biathlon Championship. The six qualified for the nationals after earning 11 medals in the zone championship on the weekend of Feb. 6 and 7. They will be part of a 10-person team of cadets from across B.C. Eight cadets from Silverfox and 66 other cadets from across B.C. tested their fitness, skiing and marksmanship skills over a range of courses from 4.5 to 10 kilometres at Mount Washington for the zone competition. Cadets chosen to compete at the nationals include two sets of siblings – Ariel Bussani, who took silver in the female junior

sprint category, and her brother Emmanuel Bussani, who also took silver in the male junior sprint category as well as gold in the six km individual race. Thomas Schratz took gold in both the individual and sprint category while his older brother William Schratz took home a duo of silver medals for the male youth individual and sprint categories. Emmanuel Bussani took a silver and a gold in each of the male junior categories, and the final member to join the team from Abbotsford is Caelan Pennington. The cadet biathlon program is a recreational activity that has produced Olympians like Jean-Philippe Le Guellec and World Cup competitors such as B.C.’s Emma Lunder.

In search of music’s best The next Canadian music superstar could soon be discovered in the Fraser Valley. CIVL Radio - a volunteer-based station at the University of the Fraser Valley’s Abbotsford campus – is providing a platform for musicians to showcase their talent with the first-ever Fraser Valley Music Awards (FVMA). “When the first FVMA are complete, the list of winners and benefits they receive will speak [volumes] in terms of the quality and quantity of homegrown music in the Valley,” said CIVL station manager Aaron Levy. There was a noticeable decline in local shows when the McCallum activity centre closed - a venue where local bands would regularly host events, says Levy. However, in recent years he’s noticed a resurgence of interest in nurturing local talent.

2015 JUNO award for Album of the Year, is from Langley. Andrew Christopher, lead singer of Pardon My Striptease, was raised in Agassiz, and Abbotsford’s Greg Neufeld was one of the finalists of Canadian Idol the same year as Carly Rae Jepsen, who was raised in Mission. Jacob Hoggard, lead singer of Hedley, who also grew up in the Fraser Valley is one of many locals who has proven that you don’t have to come from a big city to achieve worldwide success. Kevin Giesbrecht, who started Hedley with Hoggard in 2002 and bet him $151 to apply for Canadian Idol (where he made the top three) says growing up in the Fraser Valley forces a performer to be creative to get noticed. “In order to get in front of the right people, you have to get in front of as many people as you can who can help you get to the next level,” he says. Levy agrees.

After all, some of music’s most prominent Canadian musicians hail from the Fraser Valley.

“With the right talent and dedication, anyone can get recognized, and those who don’t just have to keep on working at it and keep making connections,” he says.

Singer Victoria Duffield, who made it to the top six of YTV’s The Next Star season three, is from Abbotsford. So is Ian Casselman, drummer for Juno award-winning rock band Marianas Trench. Country singersongwriter Dallas Smith, who won the

The opportunity to host the FVMA is made possible through a $50,000 grant from the Community Radio Fund of Canada — an indication that Canadian music is being encouraged from a financial standpoint as well.

Winners of the inaugural FVMA will be announced at the gala in July, and will receive a variety of prizes, including studio time and career consultations with industry figures. “Everyone gets a shot,” says Levy. “We will consider every application individually according to the talent, and quality and promise of their music and background in comparison with others from their genre or style.” Anyone can apply to be a juror for the event and help adjudicate applicants, assign music categories, and select performers for the night of the awards. A Battle of the Bands will also take place in venues across the Valley leading up to the awards. Participants will be selected from the FVMA applicants who indicate interest in their submissions. Details will be announced in May. Other events will include industry workshops and the release of a compilation record featuring Fraser Valley music. Deadline for FVMA submissions is March 31. For more info, including sponsorship, volunteer opportunities, or how to become an official juror, email fvma@civl.ca.

Signs of

SPRING Spring is fast approaching, and that means the style scene is alive with colour and pattern. Nothing says winter is on its way out better than a sleek dress for the office, weekend or romantic dinner. Florals and stripes return in a big way, but don’t underestimate the subtle sophistication of a pastel, such as something in a lacy soft rose. The accessories make the difference in how you want to come across. For example, choose strappy sandals for a more sophisticated look or opt for an ankle bootie for something more casual. Large-framed sunglasses had a chic flair, while dainty earrings and a clutch purse are more elegant.

LIFE

Come spring, many homeowners are eager to throw open their windows and doors and breathe new life into their homes. Simple changes made now — even before the weather begins to warm up — can improve interior spaces and brighten your home’s atmosphere. Swap out throw pillows Accent pillows are a quick and inexpensive way to add new bursts of colour to rooms. You may be able to make over a room’s entire colour scheme with new pillows. Invest in pillows that you can switch with each season so your decor will never look tired or dull.

Clean existing light fixtures Another way to brighten the mood in a home is to periodically clean light fixtures to make sure they are working effectively. Spend time dusting them and cleaning off any accumulated debris. If need be, switch out old lamp shades for newer ones that let more light shine through. If inadequate lighting is a problem no matter how many lamps you have, consult with an electrician about installing more overhead and accent lighting. Give rugs and floors a deep cleaning Recirculated air may be full of dust and other microscopic particles that end up blowing throughout your home. Also, it’s easy to track in dirt and other materials on your shoes that become imbedded in carpeting. At least once a year, rent or enlist the surfaces of carpet and upholstery cleaners

to give floors a thorough cleaning. You may be surprised at how clean and fresh a home looks and smells once rugs and carpets are deep-cleaned. Colour-coordinate bookshelves Group all books with similarly coloured covers together for an instant and eye-appealing look. Simmer some homemade deodorizer In a large pot, boil water and some scented herbs, such as rosemary, citrus rinds, vanilla, or lavender. The aroma will waft through the home, creating a pleasing scent. Invest in new window treatments Lightweight draperies or new blinds or shades can transform the look of a room. Be sure to keep curtains and blinds open during the day to maximize the hours of sunlight. Homeowners can make some simple changes while they’re stuck indoors and reap the benefits when the weather warms up again.

Char’s Black Bottom Banana Bars Everyone always seems to have a few overripe bananas lounging on the kitchen counter, and this recipe I saw many years ago in the Taste of Home magazine quickly became a family favourite and a delicious way to use up those brown bananas. Years later my son told me that this cake had high “trade-in” value when he was bartering with his friends to trade lunch snacks. I still haven’t decided whether to be insulted or proud that he was swapping his home-baked goods! You can leave the cake plain, but I always add a layer of sweet icing.

METHOD: In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in the bananas. In a separate bowl, with a whisk or using a sifter, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well.

PRICE: $16 ON THE NOSE: Floral and fruity, with rose petals, peach and tropical fruit, plus a suggestion of sage. ON THE PALATE: Sweet, fruity, floral, with fine, yet persistent bubbles. OVERALL: This sweet sparkler’s low alcohol makes it an ideal breakfast, lunch, or afternoon-snack wine— it can really dress up a coffee break. BUY IT: B.C. liquor stores.

Divide batter in half. Using a sifter to ensure there won’t be any lumps, add cocoa to half; spread chocolate batter into a greased 13” x 9” baking pan. Spoon remaining batter on top and swirl with a knife. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until the a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

PAIR IT: This wine and its sweet bubbles makes it easy to pair with all sorts of desserts, including gelato, cupcakes with butter cream icing, and the featured black bottom banana bars. FOR MORE WINE-SOAKED MUSINGS VISIT

Surprisingly, it’s not Lepp’s double-smoked bacon nor boneless, skinless chicken breasts; it’s the lowly banana. Yes, Mother Nature’s pre-packaged superfood likes to fool us. Despite its resemblance to a tall palm tree, the herbaceous flowering plant that produces the fruit sprouts from a corm, like an iris. Its stalk isn’t wood, it’s layers of overlapped leaves. Female flowers develop into “hands,” each, typically, made up of 12-20 bananas. Because the fruit is produced from a single ovary on the flower, it’s classified as a berry, so it’s an herb and a berry. Confused yet? There’s more: a bunch of

A New Option for Acne Sufferers

Breakthrough Treatment for Breakouts DR. ALIBHAI, MEDICAL DIRECTOR MD COSMETIC & LASER CLINIC

Acne affects 80 per cent of the population and typically begins in adolescence with hormonal changes. Acne is a common skin condition in which the pores of the skin become clogged with debris made up of dead skin cells and sebum (oil). Bacteria acting on this debris cause irritation and inflammation, resulting in blackheads, whiteheads,pimples or nodules. Acne treatments are intended to degrease the skin, unplug the pores, and dry up the blemishes. Until recently, the only effective treatment for severe acne was Accutane, which has a number of side effects. A procedure now available to treat acne is called Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

using Levulan. The Levulan is applied to the skin and then activated with intense pulsed light or Blue light. The combined interaction of the solution and the light kills the bacteria and shrinks the glands involved in acne. On average, patients require three to four treatments.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:

Connecting with all parts of the community One of the many things I like about Abbotsford is our community involvement. The Chamber, as a business organization, is also involved. For example, we have been invited to sit on some of the City’s committees. We participate on: • Agriculture, Dyking, Drainage and Irrigation Advisory Committee • Development Advisory Committee • Homelessness Action Advisory Committee • Public Safety Advisory Committee • Transportation Advisory Committee. This participation creates a liaison between the City and the Chamber, allowing us to give voice to our members’ business interests as they interplay with the City’s planning. The Chamber also participates in Tourism Abbotsford, the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association, and the Fraser Valley Indo-Canadian Business Association.

As an independent organization we could choose to meet only among ourselves, and, we might then find need to complain about the chosen actions of the City or our other local organizations. However, we find that it is better to accomplish our desired ends of promoting business in the Valley when people are pulling in the same direction, rather than pushing against each other. And so we participate. As this goes to press, our speaker for our luncheon on February 19 is our Minister of Finance, Mike de Jong. Each year, Minister de Jong is kind enough to speak to our Chamber soon after presenting the provincial budget in the Legislature. Our Chamber Board has put together a roster of candidates for election to the Board at our next Annual General Meeting (AGM). These names are available on our website. Our AGM will be held on March 9. PLEASE REGISTER to attend - your vote is important!

Our speaker will be Jon Garson, from the BC Chamber of Commerce. Two of the Chamber’s committees have been reconstituted, with members appointed for our Agriculture Committee, and our Government and Industry Relations Committee. The next task will be to get our new Policy Committee up and running. If you have an interest in being part of this Committee’s work, please visit our website, go to the ‘About’ tab, then ‘Committees’, and you will find the link to submit your name. Our next Chamber event will be on February 25 – Business after Business at UFV’s New Student Union Building. Please visit our website, and REGISTER to attend. These events are always interesting, and great for networking. This week I will be attending the presentation of the 2016 BC Provincial Budget in Victoria. It promises to be exciting.

Looking for a cost efficient and tax effective means of covering health and dental expenses or supplementing existing group insurance benefits? Working with your Chambers Plan group benefit coverage, Cost Plus can: • cover items not covered or paid for by your group plan, • reimburse these costs on a tax-free basis to individuals, • be paid with pre-tax dollars through your company, creating a business deduction like group insurance premiums. What is Cost Plus? Cost Plus is a proven, tax-effective means of covering Health, Dental or Vision Care expenses not eligible under your regular Chambers Group plan. Used correctly it can be considered a Private Health Services Plan (PHSP), recognized by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a vehicle which allows businesses to deduct health-related expenses eligible under the Income Tax Act. Eligible cost plus charges are treated the same as group insurance premiums and can be a

deductible business expense. Cost Plus benefits paid to individuals are generally not taxable in the hands of the employee who receives them (except in Quebec where provincial taxes apply). Cost Plus covers all supplies and services considered eligible medical expenses under the Canadian Income Tax Act. This would include amounts over any limits in your benefit plan, the co-insurance amounts you are responsible for, or expenses such as orthodontic treatments that may not be part of your current benefit program. Who can use Cost Plus? Cost Plus can be used by most businesses, but there may be limits as to the total amounts deductible to the business under this arrangement. For more information on how Cost Plus can help your business contact your local representative: IGL Financial Solutions Inc. 604-607-7353 / 1-888-818-2942 ext. 2 iglfin@shawcable.com

Driveway Editor Keith Morgan will entertain and inform at this weekend’s Early Bird RV Show, at Tradex, in Abbotsford. The veteran auto writer will make a multi-media presentation twice on Saturday called “RVing for Novices” during which he will share tips and jokes about his recent six-day, 1,200-kilometre road trip through B.C. Showgoers will see all the latest equipment and get the opportunity to win a Wildwood X-Lite travel trailer valued at $20,995. For show info: www.rvshowsbc.com

Safety Tip: If winter doesn’t typically mean snow or ice where you live, other conditions like darker morning and afternoon commutes and heavy rain can make driving this time of year challenging. Drive safely this winter—slow down and increase your following distance.

The Toyota Safety Sense system will be available on all but the base model: Pre-collision system, lane departure alert, automatic high beams, and dynamic radar cruise control. A technology package will add blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert, full-colour heads up display, an intelligent parking and warning system with 12 sonar sensors positioned around the vehicle. This will give the driver the opportunity to park – parallel or perpendicular – without laying a hand on the steering wheel. That’s what an additional $590 gets you along with heated front seats. GAS Even the most loaded editions barely pass $33,000. Promise I’ll get behind that wheel soon. The new Prius uses a revised version of Toyota’s 1.8-litre-Atkinson cycle engine. The official fuel economy numbers are not out yet but internal testing revealed a fuel efficiency of 4.5L/100KM (city/highway combined). The launch drive in Vancouver suggested the 4.5 number is far from being a dream. Okay, we’re off. Normal and Power driving modes suggest this actually might be a fun drive. Normal errs on the side of economy-optimized performance. Power packs some fun into the Prius, without serious compromising fuel economy. The car is a gem in the city as you would expect and spirited on the highway, especially when the Power mode is selected. To be fair, I didn’t feel the need to explore my inner Boy Racer too many times. Looking forward to spending a week in the car when I can truly put it to the test in real world conditions.

JACOBSEN Tage (Ted) Knudsen November 2, 1929 ~ February 10, 2016 He was born November 2, 1929 to Frode Jacobsen and Dorthea (Knudsen) Jacobsen in Copenhagen, Denmark. School was too controlling for him by grade 8, so he quit. His Dad was having none of that and forced him to take a trade if he wanted to keep living at home free of charge. He became a cabinet maker and built his own furniture, now antiques, which are still in the family. After school, he then did a short stint in the army before traveling all over Europe and returning home. Then he applied to move to Canada on a lark and was surprised his application was accepted by the Canadian consulate. In 1953, he took a boat to Halifax and then a train to Vancouver to his new home. On arrival and looking for work, he was asked what his trade was. He did not know what a cabinet maker was in English, so when he stumbled, he was asked if he knew how to use a hammer. He said Yes, so they classified him as a carpenter and sent him north to help build the Kemano dam. Once settled, he sent a letter to Jytte Rasmussen in Copenhagen, inviting her to join him. She too came by boat and train to Vancouver where they were married on July 2, 1954. Nine months and 10 minutes later, Dennis was born, followed 18 months later by Jan. Officially, he may have been a carpenter, but he always worked at something for a living, including being a fuller brush salesman, a vacuum cleaner salesman (which he hated), insurance repairs and furniture restoration. He was also very entrepreneurial, building or renovating houses, building children’s toys (Ted’s Toys), or operating a second hand shop. He was a strong believer in the adage “Better to have tried and failed than never to have tried”. He tried often. He lived in the Vancouver and Burnaby area until 1964, when he moved his family to Mission, BC. He bought a 10 acre property in Mission across from the golf course on Nelson Road. The house was tiny, with just two rooms and an outhouse, which was legal. He referred to it as a hamburger shack. When he started renovations and the house was expanded by more than 100%, the health inspector evicted the family because it was a requirement that new houses have indoor plumbing. That did not go over well, because that was exactly what he was trying to do. With the house finished and occupied, the dust from the golf course driveway became choking, so he asked the golf course to lay down oil on the gravel. They refused, which started the summer of the plywood signs which asked the members of the golf course to slow down. Each day, he added another sign and eventually it caught the eye of the Fraser Valley Record. Late in the summer, he created a huge sign in the middle of the field telling visitors the location and fees of a nearby competitor golf course. That did the trick and next summer, the golf course paved their driveway. He was not one to back away from a fight. He wrote many letters to the editor in Fraser Valley Record and was a thorn in the side of many. He was especially critical of people that abused children without justice. He would have loved the current movie, Spotlight, if he had been well enough to go. He would have told you to go see it. He was a Danish citizen to the end and kept many of the Danish traditions alive. He did not become a Canadian Citizen because he wanted the Danish pension and he often talked about Denmark being one of the best countries in the world. But after each visit back to Denmark, he became one of the strongest Canadian supporters you can imagine, for a few years until his memory faded and started thinking Denmark was better. Repeat. He had many Danish friends in the Lower Mainland who he thought of as family. Just a few included Bente and Svend, Alice and Frank, Eva and Einar, Corey and Bjørg, and these friends would get together often for smorgasbords, which included aquavit and beer of course. He was very kind to those less fortunate than him, included hosting foster kids on occasion, hiring the down and out to help with some of his ventures, and was also a Big Brother for many years. Predeceased by Jytte in 2011, whom he missed terribly these last 5 years, Mada, his dog and faithful companion in 2012. Øse, his sister, died in Denmark 2 months before him. Succeeded by Dennis (Jean), their two children, Heather (Wayne) and Miranda, and great grandchildren, Haley and Madison. And by Jan (Elaine) and their children Julia (Darren) and Michael as well as many nieces and nephews in Denmark. He often said he did not want a funeral unless he could attend, so there will be no service. His favorite charity was the Salvation Army. When asked if he lived in Mission all his life, he liked to say not yet. The story can now be revealed that he did, from then until the end of his life. In his wallet he carried a card that said “Please Continue! I’m a bit of a braggart myself, but once in a while I like to listen to a real professional.”, and he would show the card to others he felt were bragging too much. He’ll be pleased that you read this entire story without interrupting him.

WEBSTER Rodney Roland Adey

SWARD

August 4, 1928 ~ February 9, 2016

Elaine Florence (nee Kieler)

On the evening of February 9, Rod Webster died peacefully in his sleep, after having lived a rich 87 years. He is survived and missed by his wife, Laura; his sister, Edith Stiles; his children, Bob, Tim, Matthew, Becky, Sarah, and Chris; grandchildren and great-grandchildren; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He is also predeceased by his first wife, Faith (with whom he raised his family and shared a musical life), and his sister, Dorothy Befus. From his childhood at a small farmhouse in Westcott, Alberta, to his job delivering telegrams during WWII, Rod gained the tenacity and compassion that would guide his personal life. His ear was as equally attuned to socio-political nuance as it was to music, and he pursued a knowledge and understanding of both with equal vigour, caring deeply for his fellow humans, especially the disadvantaged. He passionately believed and practiced the message of Schiller’s “To Joy”: “All men become brothers.” (Although Rod would have resisted this gendered language in favour of human equality.) Professionally, Rod had a long and distinguished career: S Public school teacher in Saanich for 10 years S Music Director at Fairfield United Church for 10 years S Director and arranger for the Varsity Singers (later named the Amity Singers) for 7 years S Director of the Victoria Choral Society for 17 years During his 21 years as Head of the Ear Training and Theory department at the Victoria School of Music, and the subsequent Conservatory, Rod developed a music pedagogy that went beyond theory as it was then taught, recognizing music as a language, a way of being rather than just a mental concept. The result was a program called Music Language, which became his life work, continued now by Laura. As a music teacher for over sixty years, Rod has nurtured the development of many teachers, performing musicians, and lovers of music. Through them, his musical legacy lives on. Rod requested no service to be held, but that his ashes be spread at Brotchie Ledge in the Juan de Fuca Strait, between James Bay and South Fairfield, where he lived much of his life, and overlooking Dallas Road, where he loved to walk.
