Pot debate heating up again

Pot activist coming to Abbotsford Wednesday to plant seeds for legalization of marijuana ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

pot activist with approval from Elections BC to collect signatures for a provincial referendum to legalize marijuana is coming to Abbotsford Wednesday. Dana Larsen, director of Sensible

BC, is coming to the city to convince local supporters and volunteers to canvas for signatures in Abbotsford for the marijuana referendum campaign. The petition, which would function the same way as the HST campaign that went to referendum, would have 90 days to collect sig-

At least 50 Abbotsford volunteers

would be required to collect enough signatures locally, said Larsen. It will be a challenge but not impossible to get the requisite signatures in a city that has a reputation for being very conservative politically, said Larsen. Roughly 400,000 signatures will be required across all the electoral districts in the province. “We simply need a 10 per cent minimum in each district to make it to the referendum,” he said. see POT, page A4

Arson suspected as cause of local youth home fire Female suspect already in custody ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

bbotsford police took a youth into custody after a suspicious fire started at a group home on Sunday afternoon. Const. Ian MacDonald said that police were called out to a residence on Sentinel Drive near Gladys Avenue around 3 p.m. “There was nothing extraordinary about the call that brought us there in the first instance,” said MacDonald. “But when a female youth exited her room along with

billowing smoke, that was pretty extraordinary.” Officers called the fire department and evacuated the house and took the young woman, who is under 18 and suspected of starting the fire, into custody, said MacDonald. The Ministry of Children and Family Development is now involved, as are Fraser Health mental health services, he added. Five youth between the ages of 12 and 18 live at the Sentinel Group Home, but only three were there when the fire broke out on Sunday, said Janna Dieleman, manager, donor and community relations at Abbotsford Community Services. see FIRE, page A4

n Abbotsford Police officer accused of helping a drug dealer avoid arrest will be heading straight to trial. Const. Christopher Michael Nicholson appeared in B.C. Supreme Court on Friday and is now charged with six counts of obstructing justice, three counts of breach of trust and one count of unsafe storage of a firearm. Crown counsel is bypassing a preliminary inquiry and proceeding by way of direct indictment to Supreme Court. Nicholson had his badge seized and was immediately suspended just prior to a joint statement by the Abbotsford and Vancouver police departments on May 7. In August 2012, the Abbotsford force asked VPD to investigate Nicholson after APD officers got information in July that Nicholson allegedly leaked information to a local suspect so he could escape arrest. The VPD launched a covert operation involving dozens of officers that suspected Nicholson was feeding false information to fellow officers, who then used the information to obtain search warrants. Nicholson, with the APD for seven years, also allegedly conspired with a confidential informant to have drugs delivered to a residence and to have other police officers conduct a search soon after. At the time of his arrest, Abbotsford Police board informed the suspect it intended to enforce his suspension, but without pay, as soon as legally possible. As of July 16, Nicholson was officially suspended without pay. A Police Act disciplinary process headed by APD Chief Bob Rich and overseen by the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner is in progress. A previous charge of drug trafficking against the former officer has been dropped. Nicholson got bail and is next scheduled to appear in B.C. Supreme Court on August 28.

UFV criminologist not convinced that legalization would lead to drop in crime “We’ve done polling . . . and the majority of self-described conservative voters, 57 per cent of them, supported decriminalization [of marijuana].” “We’ve found this issue crosses every political boundary. Every political, age or gender group indicated a majority for this legislation.” Larsen said that it also time to stop wasting police and judicial resources to charge and prosecute adults for pot possession. University of the Fraser Valley criminologist Irwin Cohen said it would be interesting to see what kind of support Sensible BC can generate in Abbotsford. “As a traditional and typically conservative community with strong Christian and Mennonite influences, it might make it difficult territory,” said Cohen. Ten per cent of the local electorate wasn’t an impossible threshold but the success of the campaign may hinge on what arguments the activist group employs, said Cohen. Arguments might focus around ending gang crime, potential tax revenues, health

Sensible BC director Dana Larsen is bringing his coalition to the Clearbrook Library Wednesday afternoon, to drum up support for his proposed legislation to legalize marijuana. issues or personal freedoms, he noted. However, Cohen said he wasn’t convinced that legalization of marijuana production would lead to a drop in

crime. Most gangs producing pot are exporting it to other markets where it is illegal and decriminalizing it locally would not affect that trade, he said.

He also noted that as far as he’s aware Abbotsford Police aren’t busting people for pot possession unless they come across it during some other type of arrest. However, many people may support or oppose the legalization of marijuana for emotional reasons rather than empirical data on the economic, health or criminal justice aspects of the proposal, Cohen added. But there does seem to be a general trend in public thinking that decriminalization may be inevitable, he said. “Some people take the view, if not today, then tomorrow,” said Cohen. “If you look at the recent referendums in the U.S. and the general pubic attitude to marijuana, you could make the argument the writing is on the wall and that it’s a matter of time.” Larsen will be at the A b b o t s f o rd C l e a r b r o o k Library, 43430 George Ferguson Way, on Wednesday from 7 – 8:30 p.m. The coalition will also be signing up volunteers for the upcoming petition drive on Wednesday.

FIRE, from page A1 “Because this fire is still under investigation, we cannot comment on any of the details,” she said. “What we can say is that there were two staff and three youth in the residence at the time. Our staff acted quickly to ensure the safety of everyone, and they did a great job.” She described the youth living in the group home as ‘very high risk kids.’ Abbotsford Community Services has operated the home in east Abbotsford for 20 years with funding from BC Housing and involvement from the Ministry of Children and Family Development. “The neighbours know it’s a group home and have been very supportive over the years. “We are very thankful that no one was hurt, we are also grateful to all the neighbours who came out to offer assistance in any way they could,” she said. The five youth being cared for in the group home at the time have been relocated with the assistance of MCFD. The house is not habitable and Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service inspectors and Abbotsford Police were on scene examining the house Monday morning. Most of the damage was to the home was confined to the main floor, said AFRS. – WITH FILES FROM JEAN KONDA-WITTE

HAYWARD LAKE RESERVOIR BEACHES CLOSED MAY TO AUGUST 2013 Access to the beaches on the Hayward Lake Reservoir will be closed this summer as the water level will be drawn down to 33 metres beginning in May. The beaches have a very steep drop-off and cannot be used safely when the water is very low. The drawdown is required for construction related to the Ruskin Dam and Powerhouse Upgrade Project and will comply with the conditions of the Water Licence. The Hayward Lake boat launch will also be out of service during the drawdown. The picnic grounds and the parking lot at the Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area remain open. Other closures may be required for construction use or for safety requirements. For current closures, please check www.bchydro.com/closures.

Not enough barrier between wakeboard park and swimming portion of lake, says park user Park owner says area is carefully monitored and completely safe CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

n Abbotsford grandmother who took her grandson and his friends for a dip at the Albert Dyck Park swimming hole on Wednesday says the thin rope separating bathers from wakeboarders is not a safe barrier. Lynn Perrin said when she took the children there Wednesday for a dip, she was surprised to see a light rope separating the activities, and no signs in the water telling swimmers to stay in their area. The line, which she described as “a little thing, the kind you could pick up at the hardware store,” is thin and the floats used to keep it at the surface of the water are small, she said. She also noted there were very few at the end closest to the beach. “I told the kids to stay on this side of the rope because there were wakeboarders on the other side,” said Perrin. While the kids were enjoy-

ing themselves, the rope became disconnected or broke and sunk under the surface, she said. Before long, “this led to children swimming in the wakeboard lane until they were shouted at by staff of wake board business,” said Perrin. The rope was down for 40 minutes or more until the staff went out on a boat to repair it, she said. Perrin added she watched a raft meant for the swimmers drift in and out of the wakeboard area. The situation is not safe, she said. Perrin would like to see Abbotsford’s parks department bring in a more substantial rope and marine floats, moor the raft more securely in the swimming area, and install several signs in the water warning swimmers not to go into the wakeboard area. “It’s parks and rec’s responsibility to keep it maintained. I understand that the city is collecting rent from the pri-

vate for profit wakeboard c o n t r a c t a n d t h e re f o re [should] have enough funds to ensure public safety,” Perrin said. Perrin notes that with the closing of the outdoor Matsqui Village Pool and Aldergrove Lake, families have fewer affordable options close by to cool off at an outdoor venue. “It is a public park, but the greatest area of the lake is not open to the public (due to the wakeboard activity). At least keep that small part that is available safe,” said Perrin. The City of Abbotsford has contracted the day-to-day operations of the park to Valley Wake Park. Stu McKeown, owner of the enterprise, said the line was down briefly but that his staff of five quickly dealt with the matter. “It’s a matter of an isolated incident,” he said Friday, adding he has had no other complaints from visitors to the park. He said the swimming and wakeboard areas are clearly marked with the swim line in the water, and roughly 30 signs along the beach that were provided by the city that read: Danger – No Swimming.

Shooting victim not co-operating ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

bbotsford Police are looking for witnesses in a targeted shooting that wounded a 30-year-old man last week. The victim, who is known to police and hails from the Metro Vancouver area, is not co-operating with investigators, said Const. Ian MacDonald. “We’ve got more questions than answers at this point,” said MacDonald. “But we believe this shooting is targeted . . . and likely connected to gangs and drugs given this individual’s background.” APD got a call from staff at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital at 3 p.m. on July 15, reporting they were treating a man with gunshot wounds. Officers arrived but the injured man provided few details and was vague about where

the shooting took place. The man also wouldn’t say if he was shot at from another vehicle, or by someone on foot. He told officers he was injured at 2:30 p.m. while driving his black GMC pick-up truck north of Highway 1 between 264 Street and Mount Lehman Road. Police believe it could have been along Downes Road, somewhere between Langley and West Abbotsford, if the victim’s statement is factual. Investigators want to speak to anyone who may have seen the targeted man in his vehicle, or other suspicious cars or people in the area where the shooting reportedly took place. Anyone with information about the incident should call Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225 or text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Third suspect still on the loose

bbotsford Police have arrested two suspects in a home invasion Saturday night during which the victim tried to leap to safety off a second story balcony. Three suspects brandishing firearms pushed their way into an apartment in the 3100 block of Gladwin Road at 11 p.m., said Const. Ian MacDonald. The three men, who were wearing balaclavas, roughed up the 25-year-old man in the home, demanding that he turn over cash and firearms from a gun safe inside the suite, said MacDonald. The victim complied but then jumped from the second floor balcony to escape his attackers. Witnesses and other residents who saw the man leap from the balcony called police.

◗ Opinion

Teach your children to save W ith summer here, there are three inevitable truths. 1. Kids are done school 2. It’s going to rain the week you book your vacation 3. Your kids are going to have way too much free time. Rather than let them get lost in their iPods launching angry birds (I still don’t understand the point to that game) try something new that will get them active, stimulate their brains and help them develop skills that will be useful for their entire lifetime. Encourage your kids to start up a summer business. When was the last time you stopped at a lemonade stand on your cul-de-sac? Once upon a time kids had paper routes. The point of this article is not to dish out ideas for your kids to make extra cash; it’s to encourage them to be creative and do something productive with their summer. If you’re on board with this idea, the next part is the important one. If your child starts a business and is able to turn a profit, say $100 washing cars or cutting lawns on the long summer days, what will your child do with the money? Rather than let them spend it all on energy drinks and candy, take the time to teach them a lesson on the value of a dollar.

JARRETT DAVIS

Dollars and sense Recently, I attended a seminar that discussed a method of teaching kids the value of money. The GISS formula involves allocating a split of 10 per cent to giving, 15 per cent to investing, 25 per cent saving and 50 per cent spending. I found this method to be brilliant on multiple levels. Giving will teach your child at an early age the importance of thinking of others. When it is their own money they donate, it will impact them on a greater level. Whether they are donating to an animal shelter, or helping the recovery efforts in Alberta or any other place hit by natural disaster, your child will feel a sense of well-being. Investing helps them understand how money works. Teaching children that if they invest in a company, they actually own a part of that company, which will give them a sense of entitlement they may have never experienced. Saving prevents them from blowing all their earnings on

bottle rockets and video games. The last element to this method is spending, which all kids should enjoy; however, now they can only spend 50 per cent of what they earned. This method allows for fun to be had, but it prevents kids from splurging on unnecessary items. This simple savings strategy is one that will pay yourself and your kids dividends far into the future. Teach your kids while they are young about how to manage their money. Take the time this summer to teach your kids the value of earning money and the importance of what to do with it afterwards. We are a habitual species. If your kids begin to borrow money from you now and spend all of it, without saving, what will happen in 20 years? Will they be borrowing money from you or from the banks? Become teachers this summer for your children, and maybe they will teach you something about themselves along the way. Challenge your children this summer, let their creative juices flow, and most importantly, get them out of the house so you can relax. ■ Jarrett Davis is a financial consultant with Investors Group in Abbotsford.

arbon is the stuff diamonds are made of, so you’d expect it to be expensive. But you may not be aware of just how much it has cost B.C. taxpayers. For instance, it has cost school districts across B.C. more than five and a half million dollars – that’s how much local-level education has pumped into the B.C. government’s Pacific Carbon Trust. And that’s just the beginning. The province’s universities have tossed another $4.5 million into the carbon kitty, and health authorities have boosted the carbon tax surplus by another $6 million. Yup. We said “surplus.” The Pacific Carbon Trust is sitting with a $30-million surplus, while school district trustees and administrators have been tasked with finding creative ways to cut education services to our children – while fitting in a budget item for money to be paid towards a questionable effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, university students’ fees go up, and Fraser Health Authority hospital visitors dip into their pockets for parking meters(while the hospitals post cheery signs pointing out the importance of loved ones’ visits to patients’ health outcomes). We’re not opposed to efforts to reduce greenhouse gases. We recognize that climate change is real – and something needs to be done. But this is not the way. Money collected from tax-funded government services – like health and education – goes to corporations that, in many cases, get paid to do what they were planning (or not planning) to do anyway. Or in the case of that surplus, the money just sits there. Meanwhile, government services are cut while their costs to taxpayers rise, and government funds go into a government fund to pay the corporations that caused the need for the fund. We trust new Environment Minister Mary Polak, ordered by Premier Christy Clark to look into the carbon tax surplus, won’t find it as confusing as we do.

THE TIMES TUESDAY, JULY 23, 2013

City of flawed character? It was with despondency that I noticed an eye-catching logo in a downtown merchant’s shop recently: it read ‘Abbotsford City of Character.’ A quick Google of this phrase led me to the website, explaining that a number of local community leaders and businesses have embraced the call to demonstrate the values of respect, responsibility, integrity, empathy, courage, and service. The champions listing shows folks who have pledged to commit to these values. Among these are Tina Stewart, executive director of the ADBA, and a downtown business that is staunchly opposed to the low-barrier apartment building proposed for downtown Abbotsford. It seems fortunate that Abbotsford Community Services has secured funding, to provide homes to people who already frequent the downtown area. These are Abbotsfordians without housing. I wonder, are the ‘City of Character’ values to be suspended when considering the idea of assisting the most vulnerable of our citizens? Are these values only upheld when convenient? Woodrow Wilson is quoted on the Abbotsford City of Character website. Let’s keep this in mind as we consider the public pros and potential personal discomfort of this project: ‘You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.’ Stacey Corriveau Abbotsford

Still questions for city hall Editor, the Times:

we have a right to know what they do with our money. I’ve read that welfare recipients may develop a sense of entitlement; it seems that some city hall tenants have acquired that disposition. 2 - Taxpayers have a right to know for which positions a precedent is being set. Is city hall saddling us with a new set of financial obligations? 3 - Complete accountability and transparency about major expenditures is essential to maintain citizens’ trust in city hall. 4 - There’s no justification for secrecy. This request does not involve someone else’s private affairs. The focus is on gifting taxpayers’ money. 5 - If there is a contractual obligation to maintain secrecy, then we need to know. We, the taxpayers paying the largesse, can then insist that such an unnecessary promise shall not be included in any future contracts. Remember, city officials, whether you are elected or appointed, you are our employees, not we yours! John H. Redekop Abbotsford

Editor bang on re. cannon use Editor, the Times:

So the war is still on regarding cannon use and Terry Farrell nailed it perfectly with his editorial (Boom, boom, what’s that noise, July 16). It’s really quite simple; if you don’t like it, move. The farms were here first. You chose to move near the farms, and honestly what did you expect? It’s the same when people move next to railway tracks then complain about the noise, or move to Richmond near the airport and this never gets old, complain and try to get the airport shut down. So to recap, let the farmers do their jobs so they can feed their and your family, they can make a living and if you don’t like it, move – or as Terry suggested, get some earplugs. Sweet dreams.

In response to John H. Redekop’s letter (Argue Bibles with Bibles, July 9), like John Redekop, many Christians want to distance themselves from the Old Testament and I don’t blame them. They say they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Well folks, you should read more closely what Jesus said about the Old Testament. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” Matthew 5:17 (KJV). Jesus continues to endorse the Old Testament in Matthew 5:18-19, Luke 16:17 and John 7:19. Christian ethics are based upon the teachings of Jesus, and he came to “fulfill” the law. Shouldn’t you? It looks like Roe was right. You are picking and choosing.

I would like to say a big thank you to the volunteers and organizers of the Mill Lake car show! What an excellent event. This is the second year I have attended this event and this year I was joined by other members of the car club I belong to, the Pacific Performance Pontiac Car Club out of Langley. We attend several shows through the summer and all the members who came to Mill Lake had a great time and stated that they thought this was one of the best events of the year. The venue is fantastic, the volunteers friendly and helpful and the food service was excellent. I will definitely be passing the word that this is a great show to attend to all the other car clubs I come in contact with as a director with the SVABC. All of this and the fact that it’s a charity show too, which means not only do we have a chance to get our hot rods and classic cars out, we can also help the community. Thanks again for an excel-

lent show, keep up the great work, and we will be looking forward to the 2014 show.

I congratulate City Manager George Murray for taking steps to reduce city costs. His action is a breath of fresh air. I do, however, have some comments and questions. In an autocratic political system, citizens are expected to pay taxes, obey laws, and go about their private business. In a free and open system, citizens are also expected to ask questions and hold rulers accountable. This citizen has a question. Why have our city officials decided that taxpayers shall not be told whether certain departing senior staff members are receiving a severance? I believe we have a right to know. Here are my reasons. 1 - It’s our money. Officials can do with their own money as they please but

Apna Bazaar Indian Recipes

History of Indian Food Indian cuisine - In the history of Indian food the Mughal Empire brought great influences from the Middle East and Afghanistan, bringing exotic spices and dried fruits and nuts, combining with milk and cream to create rich Indian Mughlai dishes. The Mughals later adapted the cooking to their own style, delicately flavoured, rich smooth sauces; include kormas, pasandas and wonderfully fragrant biryanis and pilaus, all of which have become extremely popular in and outside of India.

Traditional Indian Recipes Traditional Indian recipes, Indian food and Indian cooking includes Biryani recipes and Indian Curry recipes that has a spicy and aromatic sauce with it, Tandoori chicken, which is spicy and full of aroma, chutney and of course Indian bread. And with the world becoming a smaller place, Indian cooking utensils can be found on our Indian grocery Online store and Indian cooking schools are popular worldwide.

Hadwin geared up for Glen Abbey

Abby’s top golfer teeing it up at Canadian Open TERRY FARRELL tfarrell@abbotsfordtimes.com

is play of late has Adam Hadwin in the mix for the web.com Tour playoffs, but when he received an invite to this week’s RBC Canadian Open, the decision was an easy one for the Abbotsford golfer. “For me, the opportunity to play on the PGA Tour, in front of our country and the hometown fans, well, the PGA Tour is where I want to be. “So every opportunity I get to play an event, I will take it and enjoy the (experience),” he said, in an exclusive interview with the Times on Wednesday. Hadwin is one of 16 Canadians in the field this week at Glen Abbey. As the only PGA tour stop in Canada, it consistently boasts the largest Canadian content of any field in the PGA season. That said, it’s been 59 years since a Canadian last won the Open. Pat Fletcher won the tournament at Point Grey Golf & Country Club in Vancouver in 1954. While the likes of Americans Jim Furyk and Bubba Watson, South African Ernie Els and Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell – all of whom have won majors – have already committed to play in the Canadian Open, this could be the strongest Canadian field ever entered into the tournament, and not solely based on numbers.

– PAUL HENDERSON/CHILLIWACK TIMES

Abbotsford golfer Adam Hadwin is part of what could be the strongest Canadian contingent ever at the RBC Canadian Open. The 2013 edition of the tournament begins play at Glen Abbey Golf Club on Thursday and 16 Canadians will be in the field, including Graeme Delaet and David Hearn.

“I have said it for a couple of years now – we have a great depth of talent (in Canada).” – Adam Hadwin

Canadian golfers are turning heads on tour as of late, and there are some legitimate Canadian contenders this week. Graeme Delaet came into last week’s (British) Open Champion-

ship in Dullane, Scotland, 28th on the PGA money list, with in excess of $1.5 million in earnings already this year. David Hearn is 63rd overall, and surpassed the $1 million mark in earnings for the season two Sundays ago at the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Ill. Hearn picked up a cheque for $404, 800, after losing in a playoff to 19-year-old Jordan Spieth. “I have said it for a couple of years

“. . . I wouldn’t be surprised if you see one of us contend at the Canadian Open this year.” – Adam Hadwin

now – we have a great depth of talent (in Canada),” said Hadwin. “It’s just going to take some time for them to get used to everything. “Graeme, for a time, was the only one contending on the PGA Tour

and now we have (Hearn), who lost in a playoff last week – a playoff he probably should have won – so I am sure he is a little bit disappointed. But that was his best finish on tour. “We have Riley (23-year-old Riley Wheeldon from Comox, B.C.) winning the PGA Tour Canada event (in Fort McMurray, Alta.), the first Canadian to do so this year. see PGA, page A15

THE TIMES TUESDAY, JULY 23, 2013

Confidence level high going in PGA, from page A14 “I have been playing well the past couple of weeks – it just seems that everybody is starting to play better and I wouldn’t be surprised if you see one of us contend at the Canadian Open this year.” Few people would be surprised if it was Hadwin who ends up carrying the hopes of the nation in his golf bag this weekend, based on his previous successes at the tournament. Hadwin has been the top Canadian at the tournament twice, finishing in a tie for fourth overall in 2011 at Shaughnessy in Vancouver, one year after finishing tied for 37th overall at St. George’s Golf and Country Club in Toronto. He comes into this week’s tournament playing some of his best golf of the season, with two top-10 finishes in the past three weeks on the web.com Tour. He also had a second-place finish at the Chilliwack open, losing to fellow Canadian Open qualifier Bryn Parry in a playoff. Hadwin said that from a confidence level, he’s going to Glen Abbey in good shape. “It’s (confidence) certainly up there – I definitely feel pretty good about my game right now,” he said. “Things are starting to take shape. I am hitting the ball better and making a ton of

putts. I am looking forward to getting up to Glen Abbey. “But it is such a weird game. I remember back in 2011, I really wasn’t comfortable going into the Canadian Open and it was just one of those weeks where I did my best to manage my game and got in my rounds limiting my mistakes. “I think Glen Abbey will play a little bit differently than Shaughnessy did . . . I think the scores will be a little lower. But I am looking forward to the opportunity to get out in front of the Canadian fans again and hopefully do well.” This will be Hadwin’s second PGA Tour event this year. He played in the U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Penn., last month, but missed the cut after rounds of 81 and 76. “That definitely didn’t end the way I wanted to,” he said. “I felt really good going into it as well, but I just didn’t play that well. “But to be in that environment and that atmosphere, and experience everything that went along with the U.S. Open, there is something that you can take from it all the time.” And what was the biggest thing Hadwin took out of that experience? “Patience – you don’t have to be perfect all the time” he said. “That and a little humility.”

Hadwin’s week at Glen Abbey has a downside A

dam Hadwin’s entry into the RBC Canadian Open does come at a price. The web.com Tour stop this week is the Boise Open in Idaho. With a purse of $775,000, it’s the richest tour stop to this point of the 2013 web.com tour season. Hadwin currently sits 53rd overall in the web.com standings. That’s of significance because the web.com Tour is a feeder tour for the PGA, and the top 25 finishers every season automatically earn PGA Tour cards for the following season. As long as Hadwin finishes in the top 75 on the web.com Tour this season, he will still have a shot at a full PGA Tour card for 2014, due to a new ruling effective this season. At the end of the 2013 season, the top 75 from the web.com Tour, as well as golfers ranked 126-200 in the FedExCup standings (the top 75 who failed to qualify for the PGA’s FedExCup playoffs) will play in a series of three $1 million tournaments known as the ‘Finals.’’ All players in the Finals will start from scratch, and 50 cards will be awarded based on the Finals money list. With all that in mind, every week that Hadwin misses on the web.com Tour is crucial. “I think it has become a little bit more of a decision these last couple of weeks, with how I have been playing lately, and how much closer I have gotten to that top-25 number,” said Hadwin, prior to teeing up at the Midwest Classic last week. “Up until the last couple of weeks I hadn’t played very well and really had no shot of getting into the top 25. With the way I was playing, even getting into the top 75 looked like a struggle – just to get into that playoff. It’s always a tough decision and I could see players going either way on it. “But to me, if I don’t think I’m good enough to make the top 25 even with missing an event, then I probably shouldn’t be playing anyway.” – TERRY FARRELL

How to write a classiﬁed ad that works. Writing an effective classiﬁed ad is easy when you use these time-tested principles. • Use a keyword. Start your ad with the item for sale, service offered or the job title. • Be descriptive. Give customers a reason to respond. Advertisers have found that the more information you provide, the better the response. • Limit abbreviations. Use only standard abbreviations to avoid confusion and misinterpretations. • Include price. Always include price of the item for sale. • How to respond. Always include a phone number (with area code) and/or street and email address.
