Heat losses up another $500K City cost bumped up to $1.2 million CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

he Abbotsford Heat AHL franchise is projected to cost the city $1.2 million rather than the recent $724,000 estimate. Abbotsford city manager Frank Pizzuto said the discrepancy was due to an error that evaluated the 2010 numbers, without taking into account the entire 2010/2011 season. Accounting for the full season bumps up the projected losses by an additional $476,000. The projections of a total loss of

$1.2 million takes into account the full hockey season, from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011, said Pizzuto. The costs to the city are the result of 10-year supply fee contract that guarantees the Heat ownership group revenue of $5.7 million annually. Poor public attendance is the main cause of the projected deficit, said Pizzuto. The team averaged 3,807 fans last season, below the 3,897 average from the club’s inaugural 2009/10 season in Abbotsford. The Heat also failed to make the Calder Cup playoffs in 2011, which meant the franchise missed out on additional revenue.

u s i n e s s m a n Ed w a rd Ilnicki was fined $20,000 in Abbotsford provincial court on Thursday after pleading guilty to three charges around the mishandling of hazardous materials. Ilnicki, owner of the now defunct Valley Demolition and Design and Repair, pleaded to three counts of failing to retain an expert to test and inventory a large quantity of hazardous materials discovered by environmental inspectors on three separate properties. Judge Don Gardner dismissed the suggestion that Ilnicki be given 10 years to pay back the fine. “I ’m m a k i n g i t a y e a r because I want to monitor the situation,” said Gardner, noting the penalty was significant given society’s concern with the environment. “Especially in view of the fact we have heard you have not paid your previous fine.” It is the second time Ilnicki has been in front of a judge and fined for such crimes. His previous company, Canadian Petroleum Corp (CPC), was fined $10,000 in 2005 for abandoning improperly stored dangerous chemicals at an industrial property. see FINE, page A21

Police come knocking for criminals’ profits $673K Abbotsford house, $235K Ferrari on the list JOHN COLEBOURN The Province

he RCMP’s Federal Integrated Proceeds of Crime (IPOC) unit is giving new meaning to the adage that crime doesn’t pay. With assets worth almost $16 million seized in 2010 currently being contested in the court system, a spokesman for IPOC says the unit has even bigger numbers in the works for 2011. As the courts grant the forfeiture of more property from criminals each year, IPOC spokesman RCMP Const. Michael McLaughlin said they feel going after a criminal’s assets is one of the most effective deterrents they have in the war on crime. “People will think twice if you take away their profit,” he said after the new figures were released. Through its national proceeds-of-crime and anti-money-laundering programs, McLaughlin points out, IPOC’s role is to “disrupt” organized crime and other criminal activity by seizing, and ultimately convincing the courts, to approve the forfeiture of assets associated with criminal activity. In 2010, IPOC’s Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU) referred 145 cases to the B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office for civil action. The $15.8 million in assets seized in 2010 under legislation in effect since 2006 included cash, cars, boats and properties. A civil action, McLaughlin notes, in the case of a vehicle or home “all you need to prove is it was being used illegally.” So far in 2011, IPOC has already recommended civil forfeiture of assets worth $16 million, said McLaughlin – the same amount

The civil forfeiture office has filed a claim in court for this $673,000-Siskin Drive home in Abbotsford where 1,040 marijuana plants were found, saying it was bought with drug profits. as in all of 2010. Among those cases is a house on Siskin Drive in Abbotsford valued at $673,000 where police say they found a sophisticated marijuana grow-op that operated for nearly eight years, as well as firearms, ammunition and cash. The civil claim filed in court earlier this month says the house, in which police found 1,040 marijuana plants, was bought with drug profits. A recent high-profile forfeiture case that drew big headlines was the successful seizure of a Ferrari and a BMW following a 200 km/h street race in North Vancouver. The blue $235,000 Ferrari Scuderia was the most valuable vehicle ever forfeited to the province. It and a white 2008 BMW M6

nearly hit a woman and her two young children as they raced up Mount Seymour in a 60 km/h zone on Sept. 25 last year, according to the RCMP. “This case was them actually endangering the public,” said McLaughlin. “They weren’t criminals – just people who made a very bad decision.” Solicitor-General Rich Coleman said the seizures of the Ferrari and BMW were the first, and most “salacious”, vehicles removed from the road since a 2008 amendment to the Civil Forfeiture Act gave the province authority to seize vehicles driven recklessly. The Ferrari was sold to a local dealer for $235,000, with 50 per cent of the proceeds going to a relative of the driver who was part-owner but not involved. The province

will receive 20 per cent and the driver 30 per cent. Coleman said some of the money had to go back to the owner because there were bank loans to cover. The Ferrari and BMW netted the province an estimated $100,000. The province is also pursuing forfeiture of two Harley Davidsons captured on film by the Air 1 traffic helicopter as they allegedly reached speeds of up to 160 km/h along the Trans-Canada Highway before exiting on First Avenue in Vancouver. The RCMP seized the motorcycles from two full-patch Hells Angels who were allegedly on their way to the funeral of slain teen Laura Szendrei on Sept. 29. In Vancouver, police say they are using civil-forfeiture legislation to greater effect, sending a clear message to organized crime that it doesn’t pay to set up shop in the city. Police announced in January that a $1.2million property seized under civil-forfeiture legislation was, to date, the most valuable Vancouver house forfeited. Insp. Brad Desmarais, head of the VPD’s gang and drug section, said the property in the 1400-block West 53rd Avenue was searched last May as part of a larger investigation into grow-ops. Simon Fraser University criminologist David MacAlister, who teaches criminal law and criminal procedure, notes the RCMP’s figure of forfeiture expectations for this year is only a small fraction of what organized crime groups are making. “I would think you would want to see that figure in the hundreds of millions to make a dent,” he said. But MacAlister does feel that when police talk about their seizures, it helps as a deterrent. He also believes the civil process is necessary. “Some of these organized crime groups are inherently difficult to investigate,” he said.

Heat president and CEO Tom Mauthe said the organization won’t speculate on the city’s projections because the team’s fiscal year doesn’t end until June 30. He added the franchise will have a better understanding of the numbers after that date. In November of 2010, the city announced a shortfall of $450,637, which officially goes on the 2009 city finance records, said Pizzuto. “It’s going to be an ongoing struggle and we have to work hard at it.”

STAVE FALLS/HAYWARD LAKE NOTICES ONE LANE ROAD CLOSURE – DEWDNEY TRUNK ROAD May 23 – July 15, 2011 Monday – Friday, 24 hours Stave Falls Spillway Gates Reliability Project and Completion of Gantry Crane Installation The Stave Falls Spillway Gates Reliability Project has begun. The project involves the replacement of the four existing radial spillway gates and the existing radial gate hoists. To operate the gates, BC Hydro installed a new crane in 2010. This crane is required to lift and lower the gates and is moved into position on a rail that is embedded in the roadway. BC Hydro will be replacing these rails starting mid-May, 2011. A one lane closure of Dewdney Trunk Road for six to eight weeks is required to complete this work. Priority access will be given to emergency vehicles and the school bus. Periodic road closures of Dewdney Trunk Road will continue to be required over the next two years to facilitate the replacement of the spillway gates. In general, these will be short-term (10-15 minutes) or single lane closures. To install the new gates, a full road closure of approximately three days will be required four times during the two-year project. Loop Trail will be closed over Blind Slough Dam during construction. BC Hydro will re-open road and pedestrian access over the dam when construction schedules allow (e.g. primarily evenings and weekends).

Hayward Lake Reservoir Lower Water Levels Starting May 24, 2011 the Hayward Lake reservoir water level will be lowered to accommodate annual maintenance on the Ruskin Dam spillway gates. Lowering of the reservoir will begin on Tuesday, May 24 to reach the elevation of approximately 34.5 metres in four days. Lower than average water levels will expose steep shorelines and slippery slopes along Hayward Beach and the entire reservoir shore. The beach can be used with caution, but the water will not be accessible. The Hayward boat launch and dog beach will be closed. The picnic grounds will remain open and available for public use. Trails will remain open; however hikers will be unable to complete the Railway/ Reservoir Trail loop due to the closure of both Ruskin Dam and the Floating Bridge at Hairsine Creek An environmental management plan has been developed to protect ﬁsh and wildlife during the lower water levels. The water will begin rising again on Friday, June 24, 2011. Normal operating levels will return well before Canada Day, July 1.

Beware of online ‘party time’ A

s schools arrive at their annual completion date and youngsters get itchy for things to do when classrooms are closed, this is a good time to remind folks of an incident that occurred in Chilliwack – too close to home to be ignored – a short time ago. An adult was arrested after hosting a party with underage children, and providing them with alcohol. A 15-year-old girl went to police with allegations that she was sexually assaulted by a 32year-old male who was the host of such a party. “We really want to encourage parents to know where their kids are and who they are with,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “It’s equally important that teens recognize the dangers out there, and make good decisions.” It probably comes as no surprise that police have reason to believe there have been other parties where underage youth were invited or were allowed to attend, hosted by older men who provided them with alcohol. The fact that no formal charge was initially laid in the alleged incident points out the dangers to everyone involved in such parties. Advantage can be taken of impressionable youngsters – while would-be hosts of such illicit parties put themselves at risk of accusations that could compound their already significant liability for illegally influencing minors.

BOB GROENEVELD

Odd thoughts But it’s those impressionable teens – many of them looking for opportunities to party at this time of year – about whom we are most concerned. And parental awareness is key to their safety. Many party invitations or call-outs come across electronic media and social networking sites and applications these days. Monitoring your kids’ telephone and computer activity isn’t about being nosy or intrusive, it’s about applying adult discretion where youthful inexperience can leave your young ones vulnerable. You could also try an old-fashioned method of keeping your kids safe: talk to them. In the old days, some parents even enjoyed the exercise. Here are a few pointers to keep in mind when you or your family members are online: – Education - Educate yourself about the Internet and what your child is doing on the Internet. – Computer Placement - Place Internet connected computers and web cams in high traffic areas such as a kitchen or living room. – Online Guidelines - Create an age appropriate, online safety agreement with your family

and post it at each connected computer terminal. Ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP) what parental control software it offers, and check your local computer store for filtering and blocking software. – Avoid giving out identifying information - Choose an online nick name or alias; don’t provide personal information such as birth dates, home address, school name or phone numbers; occasionally change your password, using words and numbers that don’t give away personal information. – Think b4u Click – Digital images and videos posted online are permanent and can quickly and widely be shared through connected mobile phones, handheld gaming devices, and computers. Social networking sites and blogging are hugely popular with social media tools such as Facebook, My Space, MSN Messenger and Twitter, making it easier to stay in touch and keep abreast of the latest information. Most social networking and blogging sites have video sharing capabilities built into their sites. A Parents’ Guide to Facebook (PDF) is a booklet and online resource that provides parents with the tools they need to help their teens optimize privacy and safety on Facebook.

ere we go again. A sliver of sun following our relatively cold spring has everybody talking about the weather. And all these decades after Mark Twain’s famous admonition, there’s still nobody doing anything about it. On the other hand, maybe that’s not such a bad thing. After all, the unusually cool spring may be a bane for gardeners and those who like to get out of their winter habits and into the outdoors, but it is part of what’s keeping last winter’s unusually large snow pack upriver where it belongs – or at least where we’d all like it to hang back so it can melt slowly and feed the Fraser River in bits and spirts. The alternative could put us where the folks on the Assiniboine River have been – stressing over every inch that the water rises towards the tops of levies and dikes. Or watching the water inundate their farms through a controlled breach – a break created in hopes of staving off worse disaster downstream – and wondering if and how much government compensation might be coming to stave off personal disaster. Those of us who live along the Fraser River need to be aware of the mixed blessings that the waterway offers. The old timers who remember 1948 really aren’t that old. And the impressive results of the even greater flood of 1896 are awesome where they still are evident – for instance, the displacement of a mile of McMillan Island, shifting the main course of the Fraser to the Maple Ridge side of the river. That’s the power of unchecked snow melt cascading down from the Interior, folks. Perhaps we ought to be thankful for our unseasonably cool spring. ■ To comment on this editorial, e-mail us at letters@abbotsfordtimes.com.

THE TIMES TUESDAY, MAY 24, 2011 ❘

Editor, the Times:

Regarding Mr. Peachey and Mr. Dick’s letters on May 17 (Homophobia fighter’s be fair & Not OK to label as “homophobic”). I would like to say I hold a different viewpoint than both of them. First of all, “homophobia” is not a made up word, it has been in use for over 40 years. Homophobia has existed for years and still exists. The word, homophobia, not only pertains to irrational fear of homosexuality, but also to discrimination and aversion to homosexuals. In my opinion, the men took the article personally and were offended by “labelling themselves homophobic.” I have been a victim of homophobic comments while living in Abbotsford. Statistics prove that the suicide rate is double for LGBTQ teens related to homophobia. I commend the Fraser Valley Youth Society on their fourth annual Walk Away from Homophobia. They are brave and they are giving those that don’t have a voice a chance to be heard and seen. The main issue here is treating people with respect in their community, in their workplace, in their schools and in their homes. Barbara Larsson Abbotsford

drink from public fountains, bathe in public swimming pools, or use their white employees’ toilets. Scripture was used to not allow women equal rights, for slavery to be committed, for inter-racial marriages to be deemed immoral, and for terrible acts of injustice to be perpetrated against those who did not meet the interpretation of the bible as the reigning religious majority in each generation and culture deemed it to be so. To set the record straight, there is no health issue associated with homosexuality. There are sexual health issues, which affect all of us and have to do with safe sex practices, and not one’s sexual preference. In fact lesbian women are one of the least at-risk groups for acquiring sexually transmitted diseases if safe sex practices are not followed. Sadly, in Canada, Aboriginal heterosexual women and middle-age women re-entering the dating world are two of the most at-risk and/or fastest growing groups for acquiring HIV. It is only through education and thoughtful, compassionate dialogue that true progress can be made for accepting all God’s community. Donna Tennant Mission

Compassion, not fear, is the answer here

Archaic ignorance no longer has its place

Editor, the Times:

As I read through the responses to the Times article ‘Taking strides against homophobia’ (May 12) and in particular Richard Peachey’s comment that “homophobia . . . is used to target people who often have very thoughtful reasons (based in morality, scripture, or health)” for not agreeing with homosexuals, I realized there is so much more education combined with grace that needs to be given to those who do not yet realize that their “thoughtful reasons” are indeed homophobic. “Health” concern was the very same reason given in the segregated south to African American people as to why they could not

In regard to Richard Peachey’s letter (Times, May 17). While the literal meaning of homophobia is, as Mr. Peachey states, an irrational fear of man, the use of the word in our society connotates the sort of irrational fear of homosexuality that expresses itself in anti-gay marriage legislation, or in letters to the editor disapproving of the “lifestyle.” The term homophobia is a reaction to exactly the kind of intolerant attitude Peachey has displayed; the kind of attitude that fails to recognize the homosexual community is comprised of human beings with a desire for love, partnership, and acceptance. While

Peachey may thinly veil his disapproval of homosexual behaviour, which he reduces to sex, with ‘rhetorical analysis,’ his attitude toward homosexuals is clear and reductive. Either a person is in a traditional, Christian marriage with an opposite-sex partner, or they are engaging in what Peachey irrationally defines as “selfdestructive behaviour.” Indeed, his “thoughtful reasons” for “disapproving” of the “homosexual lifestyle” – morality and health – are in derived from stereotypical views of gay people as promiscuous and STI-ridden. These stereotypes are exactly what Walk Away from Homophobia is trying to address. I hope that in future Mr. Peachey reflects on his own stereotypical biases before writing letters to the editor. Sara Knights Abbotsford

Fueling the debate about gas gouging Editor, the Times: Do you ever feel that someone is snitching money from your wallet? That is exactly what the oil companies are doing. I happen to keep track of the price per barrel. As recent as Feb. 23 to the end of March the price per barrel was hovering anywhere from $98.37 to $105.57. At the pump we were paying anywhere from $1.01.15 to $1.02.95 per litre. Don’t tell me we are not being gouged. I would like a good explanation for this discrepancy. Ike Klassen Abbotsford

Mission’s citizens should come first Editor, the Times: Open letter to Mission Mayor James Atebe: I am wondering when the office of Mayor became a lucrative venture, well beyond a good and noble income. As a child, I lived one street below Mayor Hogg’s house. It was well known that he had to have employment other than his official office.

Abbotsford’s MOST WANTED PETS!

The residents loved his work so much that he was re-elected for decades. Today, like all the other over-priced politicos, the office of Mayor pays better than many other types of essential services. Having been born in this city, well over 50 years ago, I have seen the slow rise in income, which would be expected with inflation, grow to an enormous and meteoric drain on city residents. If the mayor actually had the residents of Mission in mind, and not the huge developers’ interests, the average Missionite would not be so disgusted with the municipal political office closest to them, which is supposed to care for them above all others, rather than toddy to the Abbotsford residents’ needs for anything. We do not need to sell our water to Abbotsford or the U.S., and the idea of shunting our electrical power to American citizens, thus raising our prices, is ludicrous. Now, I do not know what enormous pressures you face to do your job well, but it should not be a balancing act between big business and the average Mission city resident home-owner. We should come first. Yes, we need commercial enterprises in Mission. But we do not need to lose our precious wild life habitats, clean water and air for anyone, let alone another group of pirates working closely with the official office we elected. Does this office actually think about property values when it decides to change residential areas into commercial ones? Our homeowners are already struggling with rising property taxes and to arbitrarily decide, for the benefit of one or two developers, that changing the zoning of one type to another is a money making venture for the whole city is ridiculous. We do not all benefit; if we did our taxes would be going down and not up, and up. How is it that hugely wealthy developers help the city coffers and not the average home owner living in the city? Or has anyone ever actually thought about it? Vivian Neely Mission

t’s a chilling story, but one that Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald says all high school students need to hear. It was a cold day back in January, 2008, the first day back to school after the Christmas break. That’s when students at Rick Hansen Secondary School got the news that two of their peers, Jessica Thrasher, 16, and Katherine McKenzie, 17, had been killed when their pickup truck went out of control and crashed into a utility pole on Bradner Road. “It’s an emotional presentation,” MacDonald said of speaker Christina Thrasher, who lived through the impact of losing her sister, and is now talking to high school students about what that loss does to a family. “We think it best not to have a cop wagging his finger, but to have someone in their age group tell them about a crash and the resulting tragedy she and her family have had to live through,” he said. Christina was a bit tentative as she started her presentation recently at W.J. Mouat Secondary in Abbotsford. But before long she was sharing stories, photos and video of her fun-loving sister Jessica, and the many crazy antics the siblings shared. The audience of soon-to-be-grads laughed along with many of the hilari-

celebration of equality and acceptance meant drivers and pedestrians were treated to a carnival atmosphere at the intersection of McCallum Road and South Fraser Way on Thursday afternoon. Approximately 170 people sporting rainbow-coloured flags took to the area known as Five Corners in Abbotsford around 5 p.m. Thursday for the fourth-annual Walk Away From Homophobia. John Kuipers, program coordinator for the Fraser Valley Youth Society, which put on the event, said this year’s walk was a success. “We had the largest turnout that we’ve ever had, and that was really positive,” he said. “The response from not only the people that attended the event was really good, but from the people who were driving by. There were a lot of really positive responses.” The large group of people was nearly impossible for passing motorists to overlook. Dozens of coloured flags flew and glitter filtered through the warm air, as drivers honked incessantly

But not ever yone who passed by agreed with the message of the walk. “We had a few people flip us off,” said 25-year-old UFV student Katherine Palmateer, who is hoping to have a women’s centre and a pride centre at the Abbotsford campus. “We’re not here to make enemies so we just wave at those people and smile.” Steve Kauffman, a teacher with the Abbotsford School District, also attended the walk in support of one of his students. Kauffman held up a large sign that read ‘Straight: but

not narrow.’ He said his hope is to ban all homophobic language from his classroom, and he has been known on occasion to call students out when they use derogatory language that demeans gays and lesbians. “As a teacher . . . I want to make my classroom as safe as possible for everyone,” he said. Kauffman added that youth need to be accepted, no matter what their sexual orientation is. The walk concluded with a barbecue back at the Abbotsford Community Services building.

wo people were sent to hospital following a fourcar crash on the Lougheed Highway in Mission Thursday morning. Mission RCMP responded to a crash on the highway at the intersection with Wren Street, said Sgt. Miriam Dickson. Initial reports indicate a speeding car hit another vehicle attempting to turn right onto Wren. The speeding car then hit a car in the lane to its left and flipped onto its roof. The second vehicle hit was pushed into the car in front. Despite the number of vehicles involved in the crash, only the female driver of the suspect car and an occupant of the second vehicle hit were sent to hospital with what appear to be minor injuries. Investigators believe distracted driving and speeding might have caused the crash, said Dickson. The crash, which snarled traffic along the highway, occurred hard on the heels of the campaign by ICBC and RCMP to target distracted driving. “The crash is yet another example of the dangerous results of distracted drivers,” said Dickson.

Tasty treats inspired by Toby Keith’s ‘Bar & Grill’ I

love being a chef. Food is a universal language that touches the lives of almost everyone. No matter what road of life one travels along, chances are they have an appreciation for a good meal. If you know me and my wife Katherine, you will know of our love for not only food but also for music. Recently we had the pleasure of being introduced to country music legend Toby Keith while he was in town for his American Ride Tour. Toby Keith has taken his love for food and paired it with the success of his hit single I Love This Bar to create a chain of restaurants aptly named I Love This Bar & Grill. These popular honky tonk style restaurants are dotted across the U.S. and his 10th location will soon be opening in Boston. Although we have not personally visited any of his locations as of yet, they are definitely on our radar in the near future. When inquiring about any recipes from the menu he could share with my readers we were provided with the following two. They may require a bit of improvisation on your part, depending on the ingredients available where you live, but creativity is half the fun about cooking. The other half is “drinking beer from a mason jar” while doing so. Enjoy.

Healthwise Why not choose happiness? DR. DAVIDICUS WONG For the Times

e usually think of the causes for both our happiness and unhappiness as something outside ourselves. We are unhappy because we’re having car troubles or we’re so broke that we can’t afford a car; we’ve got relationship problems or we’re between relationships; we’re out of work or we don’t like our work; we don’t seem to have any choice in life or we have too many choices and we can’t decide. With life’s ups and downs, there’s always something to make us unhappy. And when we’re unhappy, we often look to the world or someone else to blame. Life will never be perfect, but does that mean that we are all destined to be unhappy? The happiest people I meet in my practice do not have the fewest medical problems nor do they have the most money. They do tend to have happier spouses and children. Rick Foster and Greg Hicks studied the characteristics of ordinary people who enjoyed a consistently high level of happiness defined by their own self-assessment of a sense of well-being. In their book, How We Choose To Be Happy: The Nine Choices Of Extremely Happy People: Their Secrets, Their Stories, they describe happiness as a set of attitudes, beginning

– FILE/TIMES

Happiness comes from within, and you can make a conscious decision to be happy. with the intention to be happy. We all want to be happy, but most of the time, we go about it the wrong way. We consume a lot of time and energy pursuing things we think will bring us happiness: the dream job, a perfect mate, more money, more things. When we don’t get them, we remain frustrated. When we do get them, we can be disappointed to discover that our happiness is fleeting. Foster and Hicks discovered two overarching themes in their research with

extremely happy people. The first was that happiness comes from within. It doesn’t come from something outside yourself. The second was that you can choose to be happy. You don’t have to wait for the bluebird of happiness to land on your windowsill. That’s not to say that we are responsible for misfortune, ill health or the catastrophes in our lives. In fact, Foster and Hicks’ book is filled with examples of people who chose to be happy in spite of terrible circumstances. We can’t choose what life throws at us, but with awareness and courage, we can choose how we will catch and respond to whatever we get. Foster and Hicks identified the nine choices of extremely happy people: intention, accountability, identification, centrality, recasting, options, appreciation, giving and truthfulness. This week on my website at davidicuswong.wordpress.com, facebook.com/ davidicus.wong, and twitter.com/drdavidicuswong, I’ll elaborate on each of these attitudes and how we all can apply them in our daily lives to enjoy greater personal happiness. It all begins with intention, which Foster and Hicks defines as “the active desire and commitment to be happy, and the fully conscious decision to choose happiness over unhappiness.” Choose to be happy today. ■ Dr. Davidicus Wong’s Internet radio show, Positive Potential Medicine can be found at pwrnradio.com.

back. Since her blood pressure always fell when she lost weight no matter what she was eating, she knew that she needed to find an eating plan she could stick with for life. Heated debates and contradictions about carbohydrate, protein and fat are everywhere. The truth is, you can lose weight following any mix of carbohydrate, protein and fat as long as you reduce your calories. However, not all eating regimes provide you with the same health benefits or sustainability for weight loss and enjoyment. To make sense of this debate, you need to understand the science of macr o n u t r i e n t s , w h i c h a re collectively known as carbohydrates, protein and fat.

Fruit is a much better carb choice than sugary sweets. starchy foods. You can think of carbs as “gasoline” to fuel your brain and muscles. If your diet is too low in carbs, you may feel tired, moody or obsessive about food, or have difficulty concentrating. You may also experience muscle fatigue and poor sports performance. But, if you repeatedly eat too many carbohydrates, they will be stored as body fat. Since eating carbohy-

Protein is found in food such as meat, poultry, seafood, dair y foods, eggs, nuts/seeds, legumes such as lentils, chick peas or black beans, and soy foods such as tofu and soy milk. It is involved in the structure and repair of tissues, production of antibodies to fight infection, enzyme function and as an oxygen carrier. If you miss a source of protein in your meals, you may feel highs and lows in your energy and be hungry more often. If your diet is too low in protein, you may also find your immunity is decreased and muscle repair and recovery from exercise is poor. If you eat too much protein repeatedly over time, you will store these extra calories as body fat.

The charges were the result of failing to comply with orders issued by the MOE around the storage of hazardous chemicals at three locations: 31234 Wheel Ave. and 1717 Foy St. in Abbotsford, and 2790 Gloucester Way in Aldergrove. Crown Jim MacAulay told the court that following an initial inspection of the Wheel Avenue property in late 2005, Ilnicki was asked to provide an inventory for large quantities of unidentified chemicals found on site. Ilnicki refused, saying the chemi-

cals were not “waste” but materials for business, and the inspector was exceeding his authority. He was issued an order in April 2006 to contract a third party to inventory and identify the materials, but he appealed the order without success in the fall of 2006. At that point, Ilnicki had moved to the Foy Street site located above the Abbotsford/Sumas aquifer. Inspections described unlabelled barrels, some not sealed, that were stored out in the open. Te s t s c o n d u c t e d i n d i c a t e d some barrels contained the flammable solvent acetone tainted

with styrene. Ilnicki unsuccessfully appealed another order in 2007, by which time he had moved hazardous materials to the Glouchester site, in his own vehicles without ministry authorization. MacAulay argued Ilnicki, who still hasn’t paid his CPC fines, was “defiant,” had never complied with the orders, and left toxic materials behind at each site for others to dispose of. Defence lawyer Paul Dutt told the court his client was remorseful. Ilnicki would have liked to comply with the orders, but simply

could not afford the $50,000 it would take to hire an independent expert, Dutt said. Ilnicki also told the judge he was sorry for not complying with the orders, and was not defiant, but simply broke and “caught between a rock and hard place.” Gardner noted Ilnicki had ample opportunity to comply with ministry provisions and wasn’t convinced lack of cash was the only explanation for his actions. A total of $17,000 dollars of the fine was ordered to be paid to the Conservation Habitat Trust Foundation.

Hammering the competition Abbotsford’s high school track stars show strong at Fraser Valley Championship CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

ool under pressure might be the best description of Abbotsford’s Ryan Markloff. The 18-year-old MEI track and field star sat in second place heading into the final portion of the senior boys hammer throw at the 2011 Fraser Valley Track and Field Championships last week, when he suddenly unleashed. His final throw went 47.5 metres, which gave him first place in the Fraser Valley competition, and helped earn him the award for Most Inspirational Athlete at the recent event. First reported @ abbotsfordtimes.com “I just kind of relaxed on my last throw,” he said Friday, after his goldmedal winning launch. “I just kind of “That’s pretty far.” His performance last week at relaxed on my Coquitlam Town Centre Stadium pushed him through to the 2011 B.C. last throw . . . High School Track and Field ChamThat’s pretty far.” pionships, which run June 3 and 4 at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. The best high school track and – Ryan Markloff field athletes in B.C. will be there, but Markloff believes he’s ready for the provincials. “There’s some close competition,” he said. “I’m hoping for a solid third place finish.” He’s also hoping a good showing at the B.C. meet will help boost his chances of landing a scholarship with Ft. Hays State University in Kansas, where his older brother, Tim, is currently competing with the track and field team in mens javelin. And there’s nothing wrong with some healthy competition between the two, he joked. Markloff wasn’t the only Abbotsford high school athlete to taste victory at the Fraser Valley meet. Aisha Klippenstein of ASIA Sumas took home first place in the senior girls triple jump, with a final distance of 11.25 metres. It’s worth noting that she came within less than a foot of tying the B.C. high school record in the triple jump, held by Abbotsford’s very own Natasha Miller. Miller accomplished the feat in 2005 when she was still attending classes at MEI. With that jump, Klippenstein also advanced to the B.C. championships. Alex Siemens of W.J. Mouat won both the 1500-metre and 3000-metre runs in the junior girls category. The Yale Lions 4x100-metre senior boys relay team also won gold with a time of 44.40 seconds. Athletes who qualified will only get a few days rest before the competition picks up again. ◗ The B.C. High School Multi-Events Championship begins Friday, May 27 in Abbotsford before the main B.C. championships take place on June 3 and 4 at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby.

Briefly Memorial Cup shot

Hockey fans in Abbotsford will have a vested interest in the Memorial Cup, as local goaltender Nathan Lieuwen and his Kootenay Ice go for Canada’s major junior hockey championship. The Ice kicked off the competition Saturday afternoon against the Owen Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey League. The 19-year-old Lieuwen, who started with the Abbotsford Minor Hockey Association, has had a major impact on getting the Ice to the Memorial Cup. He led all goalies in the Western Hockey League playoffs with 16 wins, two losses and one overtime loss, as well as a leagueleading three shutouts. His play earned him WHL playoff MVP honours. Things weren’t always this good for Lieuwen. In 2007, the car he was travelling in flipped over. He ended up having to miss most of the 2008/09 season with post-concussion syndrome as a result of the accident. Lieuwen and the Kootenay Ice finish the round robin portion of the tournament tonight against the Saint John Sea Dogs.

From Abby to China

– PAUL VAN PEENEN/COQUITLAM NOW/FOR THE TIMES

Aisha Klippenstein of ASIA Sumas in Abbotsford won the senior girls triple jump competition at the Fraser Valley Track and Field Championships held May 16 - 19 at Coquitlam Town Centre Stadium. She won the competition with a jump of 11.25 metres.

From wrestler to farmer CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

hanmit Phulka returned home from Romania after winning the Resita International Wrestling Championship with a gold medal around his neck and got right to work. He didn’t sit on his laurels and develop a giant ego. He put his gold medal and trophy in a safe place, where he was still able to look upon it and reflect – and then helped his dad with the chores. But not just any typical household chores. The Phulka family runs a successful

farm in Abbotsford, and Chanmit has grown to love the daily grind of working on the land, watching and helping things grow. “I grew up as a little kid and my dad would always take me to the farm when I was younger,” said the 19-year-old Phulka, who trains at the Miri Piri Wrestling Club in Abbotsford. “I grew a love for working in the dirt, working with trees, working with plants. “So when it came time to choose for university and the choice of getting a scholarship and going to SFU, I chose to go to [Kwantlen Polytechnic University] and pursue something I had an

interest in.” Phulka is currently studying horticulture at Kwantlen. For now though, he’s concentrating most of his efforts – while still working on the farm – on the upcoming Junior World Championships, which run July 25 to July 31 in Bucharest, Romania. He has quite the swagger after winning gold earlier this month at the Resita competition. “I feel more confident then I did before,” he said. “I know the countries that were there . . . if I go up against one of those countries, I’ll have the confidence, so it will give me a bit of an edge.”

Chanmit Phulka, 19, is ready for the World Junior Championships.

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! May 17/11
