Manure incident may lead to civil suit
“But overall, it’s looking like we have a good supply and the berries are sizing up evenly.” Abbotsford grower and packer Anmol Mahil agrees it’s shaping up to be a good season, as he moves through the rows of bushes laden with blueberries on his family’s Lefeuvre Road farm. A small portion of the first pick of Mahil’s early producing Duke blueberries suffered a touch of sun scold and went to the frozen market as a result of the short heat wave in early July.
ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com Vancouver area legal advocacy group has taken the first step in a potential lawsuit against the City of Abbotsford for dumping chicken manure on a homeless camp. The Pivot Legal Society has issued a notice of damage to the city after the municipality spread manure across a green space along the railway tracks near the Salvation Army’s Centre of Hope last month, to deter people from camping there. DJ Larkin of Pivot said some individuals and organizations are contemplating a civil suit against the city and the Abbotsford Police Department for damages, the loss of property and harassment, alleged to have occurred during the manure incident and on other occasions. SCAN FOR MORE The notice of damage suggests city workers also made daily trips starting around the beginning of June to the homeless camp to remove and destroy the belongings of people living there. It also alleges APD officers have slashed and pepper sprayed tents and the belongings of homeless people. The APD is conducting an internal investigation into the claims made against its members. Larkin said the notice to the city is an administrative step that needs to take place within 60 days of the incident to ensure complainants can keep the door open to legal action in the future. “We’re meeting with people [affected] at the end of the month and discussing what they’d like to do in regards to legal action,” she said. “We can’t say how things will evolve as it’s early days yet.”

he recent stretch of sun is leading to predictions of a bountiful blueberry crop in Abbotsford this summer. Debbie Etsell, executive director of the B.C. Blueberry Council, said the harvest of early varieties of the fruit is well underway. “The sunshine has definitely brought things along. It’s early on, but it’s looking like a good season.” Despite the cooler weather and slower starts the last couple of years, B.C. growers, the bulk of which are
Early crops have blueberry farmers cautiously optimistic in Abbotsford, produced a record 120 million pounds of blueberries in 2012. Etsell expects the crop this year will match or even top last year’s figures. And if the weather co-operates, blueberry farmers will be harvesting right until the end of September, as late varieties come on line. There is the danger of too much heat and sunshine that can lead
to sun scold and a lower quality of berry, said Etsell. However, the larger challenge this year was a shortage of commercial beehives, which growers need to pollinate their blueberry bushes in the spring. “I can tell the difference right off the bat between a field where a farmer has brought in bees. There’s a much better quality berry and it’s more consistent,” said Etsell.

CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com bbotsford residents are invited to share questions and concerns about oil pipeline expansion and its potential effects in the community at an open house hosted by Trans Mountain Pipeline on July 20. The open house will be on from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Ledgeview Golf & Country Club, 35997 McKee Rd., Abbotsford. Kinder Morgan Canada owns the 1,150-kilometre oil transport pipeline, which transports various grades of oil from Edmonton to its terminal in Burnaby. The line also leads to a storage facility on Sumas Mountain, then runs adjacent to the Ledgeview golf course and nearby residential areas as it traverses Abbotsford on its way to the Burnaby facilities. In January this year, about 110,000 litres of crude oil leaked from a storage silo due to the failure of a water drain. Strong oil fumes had emergency crews scrambling to find the cause of the smell, which made several residents ill. Children at nearby Auguston Elementary School were kept inside for the day, and homeowners expressed fears their property values would plummet. Kinder Morgan aims to twin its pipeline and to nearly triple the daily volume of oil product it ships to Burnaby, to 850,000 barrels per day. Residents are encouraged to drop in any time during the open house, to talk to company representatives about the existing and pipeline and facilities, and the future expansion of the line. Presented as “family friendly event,” those who attend the open house can take in a bus tour of the Sumas Mountain, experiment with Science World on the Go, have lunch, and review display materials. Residents can also review materials and a map of the pipeline route at transmountain.com.

he first time I laid eyes on Flo Erskine was at a Golden Idol competition many years ago on the small, darkened stage at Opening Nite Theatre in Mission. The competition, similar to Canadian Idol except involving seniors, drew all sorts of talent. Flo was one of the last to perform. Looking demure in a floor-length skirt, she slowly walked out on stage, sat down at the piano and started to play a few bars of a forgettable song. Then she stopped, shook her head and without warning, burst into a rousing rendition of “Hello Dolly,” complete with a gravelly voice that rivaled that of Louis Armstrong. I don’t remember if she won the competition that night but she certainly brought down the house. I never forgot that perfor-
Flo Eskine will always have a special place in Times reporter’s heart mance or her. In 2009, I decided to look her up and do a feature story on her for the Times. She was living at The Cedars in Mission and, at age 92, she often played and sang for the other residents. “I play once a day whether they listen or not, to keep my fingers limbered up,” she told me. She explained that she was born with a gift and started playing the piano by ear at the age of two. I asked her what her favourite song was and she said it didn’t make any difference. “There’s music going around in my head all the time,” she mused. Then she asked me for my favourite song. Before I

could answer, she said, “No don’t tell me.” Then to my utter amazement, she broke into Crazy by Patsy Cline, the song I was thinking of. I was stunned and asked her how she did that. She told me she could just feel it in me. Being a bit of a skeptic, I was not convinced, so I asked her to do it again. I thought of another song, this time, Are You Lonesome Tonight? Without hesitation she played and sang the Elvis song without any prompting. She then told me she was psychic and I was now her latest believer. Later she invited me up to her room, which was adorned with a very large frog collection that she said
had started when she was a girl. Then she presented me with one of her white business cards that simply read, Flo Erskine “Hug Therapist.” She told me she gave out hugs whenever needed. At the end of our visit, Flo walked me to the elevator and gave me a big hug. As I left there humming my song, I backed out of the parking garage and drove smack into a concrete pillar, which left a big dent in my car. And I didn’t even care. As I drove home, I just kept singing my two favourite songs over and over. Last week I learned that Flo Erskine had passed away on June 25 at the age of 97. I was sad to hear that, but had to smile with the memories of her I still have: her card, my dent and my two favourite songs. She was a remarkable lady that I will never forget.

APD campaign of Tweeting bad driving excuses gaining national attention ROCHELLE BAKER Abbotsford Times
A
bbotsford Police Department is tweeting out the more laughable excuses given to officers by bad drivers as a means to draw more attention to road safety. Dropping fatality crashes is top priority for the APD in 2013, so the department is using all tools available, including humour and social media, to demonstrate there
aren’t any good explanations for dangerous driving, said Const. Ian MacDonald. However, there do appear to plenty of funny ones. Such as the response of a driver caught doing 123 km/h in a 50 km zone: “There’s no way my car could go that fast, it would explode!” Or the ticketed driver who told an officer, “My dad could buy you!” At which point the cop
replied, “Get him to buy two of me, I could use the help.” That particular tweet has been republished nearly 100 times. MacDonald said the public response to the Twitter campaign has been largely positive. There have been a few naysayers, but MacDonald suspects some were subject to some police enforcement themselves. “I think a couple of the posts hit a little too close to
home,” he said. The Twitter driving excuses campaign, which has been getting re-tweets galore and media exposure throughout the country, will likely run until Friday, said MacDonald. “We want people talking about road safety and I’ve got plenty of material.” To see the APD driving excuses see @AbbyPoliceDept or facebook.com/AbbyPoliceDept.

Man in critical condition after fall from ladder A
Coquitlam man was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries after falling from a ladder at a work site in Mission Monday evening. A painter fell from a height of around 20 feet while working at a residence on 7th Avenue near Alder Street around 5:30 p.m., said Mission Fire Rescue Capt. Mark Goddard. The victim was brought by emergency responders to Mission Secondary School, loaded on to the air ambulance that landed on the adjacent field and was flown to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. The man, believed to be 45 to 50 years old, is reported to be in critical condition on life support, said Goddard. He was an employee with the Elk Design Concepts. It’s still not clear how or why the man fell. WorkSafeBC is investigating.

Both Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman and city manager George Murray apologized following the manure incident. However, people affected by the city’s actions are upset and feel harassed, said Larkin. “From our organization’s perspective . . . we never want to see this type of action against people,” she said. “We’ll discuss legal strategy with [the complainants] and if they want us to work with them, we’ll be happy to do that.” Abbotsford city officials would not comment as the matter may go before the courts.

Cannon constraint kerfuffle

Council turfs turtle sanctions
ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com
A
bbotsford council rejected pursuing a bylaw to restrict the sale of pet turtles smaller than four inches. Last month, reptile rescue operator Mike Hopcraft asked the city to consider imposing the restriction so potential pet owners have a better understanding of how large a turtle can grow. Many people don’t anticipate what’s involved in caring for the animals and later dump them in local waterways, said Hopcraft. As a result, Mill Lake’s small population of endangered western painted turtles is under threat from invasive species, particularly the red-eared slider, which originates in the southern States. Coun. Henry Braun moved a motion opposing the proposed sales ban, saying it would be impossible for the city to enforce. “If we’re going to become the turtle police now, I have great fears for where we’re going.” Coun. Moe Gill noted that if a ban were put in place, people could simply buy the turtles in neighbouring cities. Coun. John Smith agreed, saying, “We have more important fish to fry, so to speak.” However, Coun. Patricia Ross unsuccessfully tried to push the issue forward, noting the city banned fireworks and residents could still buy them elsewhere. “We did it because it was the right thing to do . . . and after a while most communities jumped on board.” She argued there was no reason not to explore the idea further. Coun. Dave Loewen agreed, saying the environment was an important issue and suggested it shouldn’t be taken too lightly.

MacGregor said there was evidence the cannons could cause hearing disorders and post traumatic stress disorder. Other mitigation options, including a starling eradication program, could deal with crop losses, he said. “At the end of the day, this is about people’s health and doesn’t have a dollar figure attached to it as far as I’m concerned.” A bylaw that mirrored current guidelines but allowed enforcement and the levying of fines would mean something could be in place this summer to deal with small number of growers violating the rules and causing most of the complaints, he said. He and Gill said tighter rules could have significant economic consequences for the blueberry industry. During the debate, Banman said middle ground had to be reached between both sides of the cannon issue before violence erupted. “There’s going to be bloodshed,” he said. “With this may people riled up we’ve got to find a solution.

bbotsford city council is at a stalemate about blueberry cannons after a proposed bylaw to increase restrictions on the bird scare devices was defeated Monday night. The motion to support tighter regulations failed after a split vote, which saw councillors John Smith, Bill MacGregor, Patricia Ross and Mayor Bruce Banman in favour but councillors Henry Braun, Moe Gill, Dave Loewen and Les Barkman against. A second motion by Braun to devise a bylaw that mirrored current Ministry of Agriculture guidelines for propane cannons suffered the same fate. Coun. Simon Gibson was not at the council table to vote after his recent election as Abbotsford-Mission MLA. In the end, council followed the mayor’s original suggestion to send the matter back to city staff for further consultation along with input from the ministry. The proposed bylaw, developed following a motion by Smith last year, was the

Companies come together to put new roof on air show VIP chalet CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com
T
he airshow folks got a little help from their friends this summer, in the form of a new roof for one of the chalets used during the Abbotsford International Airshow. The President’s Club chalet, which provides a respite from the heat and the crowds on the edge of the tarmac for VIP patrons during the annual air fest, was in need of a new roof, said airshow society president Jim Reith. It’s the show’s most valuable infrastructure – the other chalets are tents that are erected only for the duration of the three-day event – and needed some sprucing up, he said. “Because the building sits out on the infield of the airport it is very much exposed to the elements and takes quite a beating from the wind and rain every year,” Reith said. In the past, the air show “There’s all kinds of society received assistance areas where local from the 192nd Construction businesses are super Engineers Flight, a military unit located on the airfield, supportive of the who could often take on a airshow. Without them, project as part of their trades we wouldn’t be able to training program. put on the show.” This year, however, the unit is short-staffed, has several – Jim Reith other projects on the go (in Comox and Chilliwack) and had their hours cut back under Department of Defense budget cuts, and so weren’t available to help, he said. So Reith went out into the community to see who would be willing to help out. He didn’t have to go far. “I made a couple of calls, to Rona Home & Garden Abbotsford and to Clearbrook Roofing,” said Reith. “Ken Abrahams of Clearbrook was first to get back to me and said he would be happy to help out the airshow. Kris Krentz, store manager at Rona, then called to say that they would contribute the roofing materials for this project. Two phone calls and we were in business with the project.” Materials were delivered and the crew was on site on June 18, and the work was done in a couple of days.
Companies always generous These companies are just two generous examples of the dozens of businesses that support the airshow every year, Reith said. A few others include Wilway Lumber, which ‘loans’ wood for the chalet floors; Magnusson Ford, this year providing a fleet of vehicles; Avenue Machinery is bringing their heavy tractors used for people moving; Finning is loaning a “giant forklift” and West Terra Equipment (formerly Bobcat Country) has brought in Bobcats that are currently being used by the fencing crew that is starting to set up. “There’s all kinds of areas where local businesses are super supportive of the airshow. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to put on the show,” said Reith. The give and take works both ways. The airshow is an opportunity for many local non-profit groups, cadet units, sports teams and service clubs and others to earn monies to keep them going through the year. Non-profit groups combine to supply close to 1,000 volunteers for the event every August. “We are extremely grateful for the local support that the community provides,” said Reith. The 51st Abbotsford International Airshow runs Aug. 9-11 this year, at the Abbotsford International Airport.
Reason for optimism BERRIES, from page A1 But Mahil’s operation is picking and packing berries exclusively for the high-quality local fresh market. “We had that short heat wave and a little too much sun before, but otherwise production is great right now,” he said. “The [high] temperatures have
settled and now we’re in the clear. We’ve just been watering a lot.” As long as the temperatures don’t trend to record levels again, Mahil is confident about this year’s harvest. “At this stage, it’s still too early to rate the season for sure, but I’m going to be optimistic and say it will be an eight out of 10.”

◗ Opinion
Standardized testing is best D on’t dare mess with tradition! Schools have used letter grades and percentages for eons, and efforts to change from these may be someone’s career limiting move. Knowing the history of student marks is important. There can never be a constructive debate without including context, context, and context. With few students going beyond elementary school, grading and reporting did not occur until 150 years ago when high schools emerged. Formal evaluation systems were developed and progress to the next grade was not permitted until mastery. Grades, based on percentages, became the norm for reporting in these higher grades. Thereafter, studies demonstrated huge discrepancies in teachers’ marks on the same student response. Teachers brought their biases to the task, and marks on the same test ranged ridiculously from 28 per cent to 95 per cent. Today, we still use percentages and studies still show large discrepancies between teacher’s marks. Letter grades (A,B,C,D,F) were introduced to combat mark discrepancies. A student’s answer assessed as “B” accommodated a wide range of percentages, resulting in fewer challenges. At the same time, the education system discovered a human phenomenon. Teachers have a tendency to
JIM DUECK
Guest Column inflate marks, and inflation is highest in places void of checks and balances provided by standardized tests. B.C.’s grade inflation is approximately 20 per cent. Unfortunately, higher grade inflation in the teacher’s mark results in lower student achievement on year-end examinations. Students are fooled into thinking they were excelling. Fraudulent marking was so rampant that the “bell curve” was introduced. Specified percentages or quota of students would get each letter grade, including “F.” Teachers could rank the quality of students’ answers but providing accurate ratings was problematic and eventually, the bell curve quota system was abandoned. Now, the move in lower grades is to assess learning on specific standards in the curriculum using phrases such as “exceeding,” “fully meeting,” “minimally meeting,” and “not yet meeting” the standard. These terms are legitimate descriptions for reporting student’s skill development, which is what elementary schools spend most of their time doing.
Ensuring that parents know the grade level of their child’s achievement is essential in this reporting methodology. The issue is different in high schools where content is emphasized more than skills. Graduates moving into post-secondary are selected according to rank, where marks qualify for placement in prestigious institutions. Regardless of the methodologies used, the business of determining student achievement remains problematic. Absolute objectivity is not possible when humans are involved. Standardized testing should happen every year so that teachers receive feedback on the accuracy of their assessments in addition to the proficiency of their teaching. Annual testing also provides parents and the school system with valuable information related to gain scores. Changing letter grades to different symbols is a minor issue. What really matters is knowing the grade level the student is being taught, and how (s)he is succeeding in that curriculum. In addition to teachers’ assessments, standardized test results provide the most consistent description of student achievement on curriculum outcomes. ■ Jim Dueck is a former Abbotsford

here was a huge outcry when B.C.’s tough new drinking and driving laws came into effect nearly three years ago, but the results seem clear: the new laws are saving lives. According to a study completed last month by Scott Macdonald, assistant director of the University of Victoria’s Centre for Addiction Research, there’s been a 42 per cent reduction in alcohol-related fatal crashes since the new laws came into effect in September 2010. Macdonald and his team took into account that drinking and driving collisions have been dropping for three decades in North America, due to education, graduated licensing and other changes. But over and above that drop, they say, the new laws have prevented an estimated 44 fatal collisions per year. Macdonald credits the success of the new laws partly to the fact that they save police time. Instead of taking three hours to process one person through the Criminal Code, he told the Globe and Mail, an officer can now give an immediate sanction to a driver who blows over the legal limit, then get back on the road and look for more drinking drivers. But the new laws have their detractors. The B.C. Civil Liberties Association, for example, is an intervener in a case called Chisholm et al. vs. Superintendent of Motor Vehicles – brought by a number of people challenging the tougher regulations. The BCCLA believes the laws are unjust because the only evidence of impairment is the result of the roadside screening device, which it says is not as reliable as a Breathalyzer, and yields results that would not stand up in court. The group also says the laws are unjust because they impose severe penalties without a criminal conviction. The presumption of being innocent until proven guilty is the cornerstone of our legal system, yet getting drunk drivers off the road saves lives. How do we balance these competing interests? It seems the get-tough camp has already won, since it’s impossible to argue with a grieving parent holding a photo of a child who was killed by a drinking driver.

Thanks for your support Editor, the Times:
On June 14-15 the Abbotsford Parkinson’s Support Group sponsored a yard sale. Some rain notwithstanding, the generous support of many people in this city was abundantly clear. Over the two days of our sale, hundreds of people stopped by to offer encouragement and financial support. On behalf of the local Parkinson’s support group, we express a very large thank you to the people of Abbotsford, for the support given to our cause, and to the generosity of Syd and Frieda DeHaan, at whose property the sale took place. Parkinson Society British Columbia receives no government funding. Therefore, all the proceeds from this sale will be forwarded to our Vancouver office and designated for further research into the cause and treatment of this disease.

Candy price fixing not new Editor, the Times:
Re. Matthew Claxton’s editorial on June 25, Candy Price Fixing? How Dare They: The editorial about candy bar price fixing reminded me that this kind of thing by no means is a new thing.
The first candy bar protest that I know of took place in 1947 after some new, more expensive, candy bars had entered the market, causing prices to be pushed up. In May of 1947, local police were called to give “a little sound advice” to about 50 students parading through Abbotsford streets carrying signs (according to the May 7, 1947 edition of the local newspaper). According to local papers, some of the youngsters had become unruly when they entered one store to voice their disapproval of the new (higher) prices. Similar protests took place elsewhere, but it was felt that the children of Abbotsford had been overzealous, and so they got a good talking-to by local authorities, teachers and parents. Price fixing was not a joking matter then, and it isn’t now. Candy price fixing – how dare they, indeed! Christina Reid collections manager MSA Museum Society Abbotsford

Abbotsford pair named to provincial rugby team
Abbotsford athlete heads to Halifax for juniors as a member of provincial team JEAN KONDA-WITTE JKonda-Witte@abbotsfordtimes.com
C
arlanna Thompson cut her teeth as a youngster in Abbotsford playing lacrosse with the boys and now the 21year-old is heading to Halifax with Team BC to compete in the National Junior Women’s Box Lacrosse Championships. Admitting she wasn’t too interested in dance or girly things way back when, Thompson began playing lacrosse at the age of six with the Abbotsford Warriors, a boys’ team. There was no girls’ lacrosse in town at the time. She stayed with the team until she was 15, and was even captain of the first and second bantam Warriors teams. “I like the teamwork aspect and the physical contact,” she said of her chosen sport. With boys, there is physical contact, but very little on the girls’ teams until players get to the highest level, she said.
Thompson said the sport helped her with her shyness, and the friends she made will last a lifetime. She later joined the New Westminster Salmon Bellies, and at 18, joined the Coquitlam Adanacs women’s team. On June 1 she tried out for Team BC and got the news that she made the team on June 8. “I’m so excited about it,” she said. “It’s a great honour to be selected for it.” She’s also excited that Abbotsford is finally getting a women’s lacrosse league going. “We have a lot of girls who would benefit from girls’ lacrosse. A lot of girls who play hockey would play lacrosse,” she said. “People who love sports would love lacrosse.” The junior nationals are July 2528 in Halifax, NS. Thompson is looking for sponsors to help with traveling expenses. She can be contacted at carlanna. thompson@gmail.com.

The U19 Canadian Rugby Championship is set for July 17-21 at Calgary Rugby Park. B.C. will face Ontario on opening day. B.C. will also face the Voyageurs (Quebec-Ontario East) on July 18 and the Prairie Wolf Pack (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) on July 20 in round robin play.

Twenty-year-old Abbotsford Pilots goalie Aaron Oakley will be playing college hockey this season for the Selkirk Saints of the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League. Valuable Player award for the 2012/13 season. He was an all-star in all three years he played in the league and was the recipient of the Top Goaltender award as a rookie with the Sockeyes in 2010/11. “Aaron’s performance and accomplishments over the past three seasons match up favourably against any junior B goaltender in the province,” said Saints head coach Jeff Dubois.
“He comes from a winning program in Abbotsford that demands excellence from its players, so we expect him to be well-prepared to make an impact at the college level.” “I’m very excited to have the opportunity to further my schooling while playing for a team that is devoted to winning,” said Oakley. “I’m looking forward to getting started and helping the team win its second championship in as many seasons.”

The Force is with Woods
Star Wars art exhibit opens at The Reach CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com
S
ome of Chilliwack artist Chris Woods’ earliest memories of drawing are sketching out Star Wars androids and spaceships. He was seven when he saw his first Star Wars film. “It imprinted on me immediately. It’s played a big part in my life,” he said this week. Growing up as an army brat with little else to do during summers on the bases but to watch films, the former University of the Fraser Valley fine arts student became a faithful devotee of the science fiction series. Now Woods, known for his ‘pop realism’ works such as the MacTopia series that look at our penchant for mass consumerism and the corporate forces that compel us, has returned to his past. It’s a sort of a prequel, if you will, to his career, paying homage to a modern mythic that made such an impression on him as a boy. Tonight, The Reach Gallery and Museum will open Sandstorm, an exhibit of 14 ‘epic scale’ paintings by Woods based on the original Star Wars trilogy. (Included in the exhibit will be his Grade 2 scribbler, replete with androids and starships.) Sandstorm takes stylistic inspiration from the 19th century French Romantic painter Eugene Delacroix. But instead of well-known scenes from the films, Woods relies on those that were cut or “images hidden between the frames,” he said. While Woods, like other fans, were moved by the classic struggle of good and evil embedded in Star Wars, Sandstorm offers a less considered perspective – that of iconic villain Darth Vader. The oils on canvas look darkly – and, in a way, empathetically – through Vader’s artificial eyes, at the heroes; Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo.
HOT TICKETS The Reach exibits
July 11, The Reach opens its Fraser Valley 2013 Biennale, a showcase of juried regional visual art; Intervention by Design, David Kilvert and Krista Kilvert; From Here to There (and back again), by Krista Kilvert; Heritage Remembered: Buildings and Streetscapes from the Past, by painter Brian Croft and model maker Don Bladon, all of which are on until Sept. 8; and Masks: Hidden/Revealed, created by the women of The Warm Zone, on until July 28.

Even Keel, Madflower – CHRIS WOODS//FOR THE TIMES
Tonight, Chris Woods opens Sandstorm, 14 paintings based on Star Wars, including himself as the films’ mastermind, George Lucas at The Reach Gallery. Woods also gives a guided tour and art demo at Saturday’s Sith Happens event at the gallery.
“I really feel it’s my best work so far. It’s my reboot.” – Chris Woods
To Vader, they would have been his worst nightmares: Shadowy figures whose one mission was to see him dead and everything he built, destroyed. “I personally think he is an interesting character to use, to look at evil in the real world. He’s a kind of a textbook case of an abused kid. He was kidnapped, he fell under the thrall of the evil Emperor, then he was grievously injured. His only free act was to save Luke Skywalker,” said Woods. Woods also gives a sympathetic nod to George Lucas, the creator of the series, “who was as close as you could get to being a deity” to a Star Wars nerd like him. Lucas was roundly criticized for the prequel series,

but Woods says “it’s wrong to be angry at him.” In his self-por trait as Lucas, Woods is saying that we should lighten up: Lucas is only human after all. “I’ve taken it as a Buddhist lesson – life is tough (the movies were bad) but it doesn’t mean the world is over.” Although Woods may be inspired by classical art and artists, he’s a big believer in using pop iconography to carry his messages. “Art can be entertainment, and vice versa,” he said. “The biggest compliment I got was at a show in Richmond when someone mistook my painting as an advertisement. I love that notion. That gets people in the door, and then you get to start asking them questions.” He began to engage fans even before the works were finished. To fund this series,
“I personally think he is an interesting character to use, to look at evil in the real world. He’s a kind of a textbook case of an abused kid. ” – Chris Woods, on Darth Vader
Woods held an Indie-go-go campaign last year, with donors to receive custom sketches in the Star Wars theme. But he credits The Reach for giving him the push he needed when curator Scott Marsden invited him to do a show. “It really was a collaboration with The Reach. It was my opportunity to shine, so I had to come up with something really special,” he said. He had long dreamed of doing a Star Wars series, and a trip to Death Valley, Calif., where some scenes were

shot, rekindled the urge. The work developed quickly – he had 14 works done in seven months – and the pieces are more expressive and little more painterly than recent projects, he said. “I really feel it’s my best work so far. It’s my reboot.” Woods will also be at the free Sith Happens event at The Reach on Saturday, on from 12:30 – 4 p.m. He’ll give a tour of his exhibit, and a demonstration sketch of one of his friends in a full Storm Trooper costume. Visitors are encouraged to come as their favourite Star Wars characters. Princess Leia hair, Yoda puppets, The Making of Star Wars film and more are part of the afternoon. See thereach.ca or call 604-864-8087 for details. The free Sandstorm exhibit opens tonight at 7 p.m. The Reach is at 32388 Veterans Way, Abbotsford.

TIME MANAGEMENT TIPS FOR STUDENTS Today's college students are busier than ever before. Tuition hikes and higher cost of living has forced many college students to work part-time jobs in addition to their full-time jobs as students. In addition to the need to work, college students are also embracing extracurricular activities in an attempt to make themselves stand out in an increasingly competitive post-college job market. While that ability to multi-task might one day prove attractive to prospective employers, it's an ability many students must learn. Time is often a commodity for college students, and managing time effectively can make the difference between a successful student and one who is overwhelmed by stress. • Learn to prioritize. For some college students, the weekend is the ultimate priority. Though this might be a recipe for fun, it's not a recipe for success. Prioritizing both academic and social commitments is a very important step for students looking to manage time more effectively. First and foremost, school should be a student's top priority. After studies, it's up to a student to choose what's the next most important priority. • Don't over-extend. Many students love college for the very reason that there is so much to do. In an effort to ensure all students make the most of their college experiences, colleges and universities provide many different avenues by which students can express themselves and become a part of the college community's fabric. However, with all those activities, it's easy for college kids to go overboard and overcommit themselves. Attempting to do too much can lead to feelings of stress and burnout, often resulting in poorer academic performance. When managing time, college students should schedule some daily time to relax and take a breather. • Keep a planner. Daily planners might seem very adult, but they're also very practical. Students with academic, extracurricular and social commitments should write things down in a daily planner to help keep their heads from spinning. • Stay as flexible as possible. While today's busy college students might scoff at the suggestion they stay flexible, flexibility is an important element of time management. Few plans ever go off without a hitch, no matter how well planned they are. Something unexpected tends to pop up around every corner. By remaining flexible with their time, students are putting themselves in positions to better handle these unexpected surprises, be it a sickness, a computer crash, car troubles, etc.
