Abbotsford MP Ed Fast was appointed Inter-national Trade Minister when Prime Minister

Stephen Harper unveiled his new cabinet atRideau Hall in Ottawa Wednesday morning.

“I’m excited to do the job the prime ministerhas offered me. It’s a brand new challenge and I’mlooking forward to undertaking it,” said Fast.

The position means Fast is also responsible forthe federal Asia Pacific Gateway initiative.

“It’s huge for the West Coast and for providingthe infrastructure and resources to get our goods[overseas] more efficiently as well as bringing theminto Canada,” said Fast.

Of particular interest to Abbotsford, is Fast’smandate to expand trade relationships.

Ottawa is actively pursuing free trade agree-ments with both the European Union and India.

“Given many of [Abbotsford’s] residents haveconnections to India, I expect there is a lot ofinterest generated by this free trade agreement,”said Fast.

One of the few MPs in the cabinet from BritishColumbia, Fast, a lawyer, was formally a back-bench member who managed to secure a privatemember’s bill that increased the maximum sen-tence for those convicted of luring children overthe Internet.

Other B.C. cabinet ministers include Vancou-ver Island North MP John Duncan, who remainsMinister of Aboriginal Affairs; Port Moody-West-wood-Port Coquitlam MP James Moore, who hungonto Minister of Canadian Heritage and OfficialLanguages; and Richmond MP Alice Wong, whowas appointed Minister of State for Seniors.

Weekend warriors roll outCAM TUCKER

Police are urging the public to drivesafely this Victoria Day weekend, aspeople try to take advantage of the

favourable weather.The long weekend is designated as

National Road Safety Week by the CanadaSafety Council, andis known nationwidefor its high numberof traffic accidentsand fatalities.

“Be mindful of thefact that there aregoing to be peoplewho are enjoying

their weekend,” said APD Const. Ian Mac-Donald.

“From a safety standpoint, be mindfulwhen driving and walking.”

Early forecasts show warm and dry con-ditions for Abbotsford and the rest of theFraser Valley.

MacDonald said traffic within the cityis typically quiet during long weekends,however the same cannot be said for thevarious on-ramps that line Highway 1through Abbotsford.

“Particularly at the ends of the week-end, the directions on Highway 1 and thecongestion is where you tend to see moreof the potential traffic-related issues,” hesaid.

“Because of its nice weather, I have astrong inkling people will be already mak-ing preparations for the long weekend andyou will have that rush to get to whateverthe destinations are.”

He added police are also prepared for apotential traffic increase along South FraserWay because of the Canucks playoff gameSunday afternoon.

“We are ready for the weekend’s chal-lenges.”

Abbotsford’s Donna Giesbrecht and herhusband Randy are waiting until after thelong weekend to hit the outdoors in theirfifth-wheel. Their main reason is traffic,said Giesbrecht.

“It’s too crazy, especially the first longweekend of the year,” she said.

For those who are doing somethingoutdoors this holiday, local campgroundsare preparing for a busy weekend, again inlarge part because of the weather.

Sun Valley Trout Park, located in Mission,isn’t taking any more reservations for apowered site, but there are some spots leftfor non-powered sites.

B.C. Parks, which has begun its 100thyear in operation, has also expanded itswebsite this year to accommodate morereservations.

Not all campgrounds within B.C. Parkswill be open this long weekend, so peopleare advised to check out http://www.gov.bc.ca/env/ for more information.

Abbotsford’s gang sup-pression unit cel-ebrated its first year

of operation with a bust thatnetted a cache of drugs, cashand a gun in a Burnaby homeon Tuesday.

The GSU seized a handgun,one kilogram of cocaine, 800grams of methamphetamine,one-third of a kilogram ofheroin and more than $56,000in cash at a home in the 4400block of Buchanan Street inBurnaby, said APD Const. IanMacDonald.

A 28-year-old man with tiesto the UN Gang was arrest-ed and is facing charges ofpossession for the purposesof trafficking and firearmsoffences.

The home is likely a sup-ply house for drug lines inAbbotsford and other LowerMainland communities, saidMacDonald, noting the sus-pect arrested was a “signifi-cant” player.

“We’re classifying him asbeing mid-level in the gangworld,” he said.

“When you’re dealing withtwo kilograms of drugs, over$50,000 and a handgun,you’re talking about someonein some position of authoritywithin an organization.”

The bust reflects the suc-cess the GSU has had in itsfirst year of operation, saidMacDonald.

The fact gangs are set-ting up supply houses insurrounding communi-ties suggests the climate inAbbotsford is getting too hotfor criminals to stomach, heasserted.

“ We h a v e c re a t e d a nuncomfortable environ-ment,” he said.

“The public safety riskshave been decreased.

For three girls from BradnerElementary, May Day will besomething very special this

year.Sarbjot Nijjar will be crowned May

Queen, along with Princesses Aman-da Wenting and Jade Erickson at the92nd annual May Day celebration atBradner Elementary on Monday.

“I’m not very much of a girlie girl.It was unexpected,” said Sarbjot ofwinning the top spot.

The Grade 6 student was chosenbased on her speech about what MayDay means to her and her privateinterview with the three judges.

“The whole Bradner communitygetting together and celebrating May

Day,” was the crux of her two-minutespeech.

Ten Grade 6 girls from the ruralschool competed for the title, andAmanda and Jade were also thrilledto be chosen as first and second prin-cesses.

“As soon as they said my name, Isaid ‘wow’,”chimed in Amanda, whotalked a blue streak about the recent

competition.“It’s not about how beautiful you

are. It’s about how you will representthe school and Bradner.”

Jade said she was filled with joy andexcitement on being chosen.

“It’s about being a good role modeland representing our school andAbbotsford,” she said.

All three girls admitted they steppedout of their comfort zone a bit for thecompetition.

“We had to dress up all super girlie,”added Jade, more comfortable in hergreen T-shirt.

And they’ll do it again, as all threewill don pretty spring dresses for theirroyal ride in the May Day Parade,which gets underway on Bradner andTownshipline roads at 10 a.m.

◗ The May Day festivities will con-tinue throughout the day Monday,with Maypole dancing, a speech bythe May Queen, games, rides and otherfamily fun.

Royalty reigns on May DayBradner queen admitsshe’s no “girlie girl”

“It’s about being a good role

school and Abbotsford . . . We had

to dress up all super girlie.”

A rmed with placards anddisdain, more than 100 resi-dents converged on Mission’s

Municipal Hall Monday night tosend a message ofprotest to mayor andcouncil.

Folks from Missionand Abbotsford began showing upoutside the district building justafter 5:30 p.m., one hour before theregular Monday council meetingwas scheduled to begin.

Within minutes the front entrancewas jammed with protesters, manyof them saying council had losttouch with its constituents and wasabusing citizens’ rights.

“I think it’s borderline abuse,” saidlongtime Mission resident SusanKleinsasser.

“Going into people’s homes undersuspicion of a [marijuana] grow op

without a warrant . . . it seems to meas an abuse to our human rights,our civil liberties.”

Local taxpayers have criticizedMission council over how the con-trolled substance bylaw - or mari-juana bylaw - was implemented and

handled.There has also been

an outcry followingthe RCMP seizure of

five computers, three belonging toformer councillor Ron Taylor andtwo belonging to current Coun.Jenny Stevens.

The bylaw, which was unani-mously voted in by council in April2008, allows the district’s PublicSafety Inspection Team (PSIT) tosearch properties drawing morethan 93 kwh of electricity per dayfor possible marijuana grow opera-tions.

People whose homes have beeninspected have been slapped withan inspection fee of up to $5,000,

even if there is no evidence of agrow op.

A moratorium has since beenplaced on the bylaw, and it is beingreviewed, case by case, said MissionMayor James Atebe.

But some local citizens aren’t let-ting that stop them from suing thedistrict.

Stacy Gowanlock, who washanded an inspection fee after hishome was unsuccessfully searchedin 2009, filed a statement of claimearlier this month. The class-actionlawsuit is backed by the B.C. CivilLiberties Association.

District of Mission spokesmanPaul Gipps did not confirm thedistrict had been served with thelawsuit. But for Gowanlock, andother residents, their frustrationwith council goes further than themarijuana bylaw.

“They’re not interested in any-one’s stories or situations, and Ihonestly believe we’ve got to replace

this council.”Gowanlock also said Atebe should

step down as mayor immediately.Atebe said he will not resign;

instead he will stay on to make surethe review process of the bylaw iscompleted.

“Why would I resign? The com-munity gave me the mandate,” said

Atebe, who welcomed the protest,saying folks were simply voicingtheir input towards the bylaw.

A municipal election is slated forNovember.

The Abbotsford/Mission Timesis a division of PostmediaCommunity Publishing.We’re published Tuesdays andThursdays from 30887Peardonville Rd., Abbotsford, B.C.

Oh no! The world is going toend!

Are you one of those folks whobelieve the end of the world willarrive in a little more than a yearand a half, on the Winter Solsticeof 2012?

Well, you can stop your wor-rying. We’ll never get that far.The end is sooner than even youbelieved possible.

I have it on good authority(an anonymous e-mail) thatthe beginning of the end of theworld will begin this Saturday,May 21.

And it will all be over in exactlyfive months – on Oct. 21.

That’s 2011, folks. This fall.That’s considerably more than

a year before previous, most-optimistic predictions that havebeen based on the most up-to-date ancient Mayan technology.

The end of next week is thebeginning of the end of theworld.

And it’s going to be a roughride.

It all starts, I am assured by myinside sources, with an earth-quake “so big than you can everimagine.”

OK. His grammar needs a bitof cleaning up. But his logic issound.

He points out that there are“many proofs in the Bible” point-ing to the return of Christ onMay 21.

And since just about anybodyhas been able to prove just aboutanything with one or another

perfect quote from the Bible, thatsounds perfectly logical to me.

It’s the same kind of profoundlogic that I find in the following:

“You have nothing to lose ifyou take action on this. If youignore this, you may lose every-thing including your life.”

Uhmmm, if the world is end-ing, there’s indeed nothing tolose . . . except everything . . .which you’ll lose when the worldends . . . whether you do any-thing or not.

So if you ignore this wholething about the end of theworld, you’ll lose your life . .. which you’ll lose when theworld ends, whether or not youignore it . . . so you’ll have noth-ing to lose, once the world ends. . .

Arrrghhh! My head hurts.But take heart. We can avoid

the end of the world altogether.And past experience has

shown me that it takes only theeffort of one courageous man toavert disaster, for logic dictatesthat, if just one of us keeps theworld going, we all benefit.

This is not the first time we’vevisited the edge of the abyss,stared into the darkness of our

final moments, stood on theverge of the world’s end.

Prophesiers have prophesiedthe end many times.

And we’re still here.How can it be?Take the case of an old

acquaintance of mine. We’ll callhim Tom.

When we were told the worldwas going to end at 6 p.m. onesummer day in the 1980s, Tomrefused to lie down and acceptdoom.

The first thing Tom did wasget good and drunk – it helpedhis powers of reason, he rea-soned (and who am I to ques-tion that, given the results of hisreasoning?).

Tom reasoned that, if theworld was to end at 6 p.m., allhe had to do to miss the end ofthe world was to miss 6 p.m.

So he headed east to Alberta,where time is an hour ahead ofus.

He crossed into the MountainTime Zone 15 minutes before6 p.m. – directly into 6:45 p.m.– missing 6 p.m. altogether.

By saving himself from theend of the world, Tom saved usall.

OK, I can’t prove that he savedus from the end of the world.But you can’t prove he didn’t.

He’s my hero!

I t’s little surprise the Canada SafetyCouncil designated May 17-23 asNational Road Safety Week. It is, after

all, prime road-tripping time. With that inmind, we implore our readers to set a fewminutes aside before piling loved onesinto your preferred people mover.

Before loading the first tent peg, back-pack, or kayak, start with some mainte-nance basics. Checking oil and fluid levelsin your driveway is a lot more fun thanfrantically filling and spilling highway-side with tractor trailers roaring past.

Likewise, properly inflated tires aremuch more likely to stand up to the rigorsof the road than anything low on pressureor pumped too full. We know you knowthis; but that doesn’t make these routinechecks any less vital.

Drive defensively. This is a long week-end after all – featuring a hard-earnedday of deserved rest and relaxation. So doexactly that. Breathe. Relax. Don’t rush.Remember: you’re on holiday.

Even though you know where you’regoing, be absolutely certain of how to getthere. Transport Canada strongly suggestschecking road and weather conditionshere: www.th.gov.bc.ca/SeasonalDriving/plan.html.

Give yourself plenty of time to arrive – itdoesn’t hurt to be early. Packing the bulkof your clothes and supplies the nightbefore, then setting them by the doorallows more flexibility on travel day; plusit allows you to sleep on what might bemissing.

With the new and sometimes confusinghighway access changes in Abbotsford,getting off on the open road can be stress-ful enough without digging through arucksack for that possibly forgotten canopener with one hand while steering andpeering for a U-turn exit.

And please, remember no matter howfar you travel this weekend – whetherit’s to the tip of Vancouver Island, or justthe first tee of your favourite golf course– don’t drink and drive.

Because while a flat tire might puta damper on your weekend plans, wepromise a serious driving violation willcurtail your asphalt adventures for a lotlonger than three days in May.

Oddthoughts

THE TIMES THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2011 ❘ LETTERS ❘ A9

Editor, the Times:When the French-lan-

guage debate of our recentfederal election was post-poned due to a hockeygame, I was surprised. Bythe time an HST publicphone conference deferredto yet another hockeygame, I was getting moreused to the phenomenon.

We talk about makingvoting easier, so that peopledon’t have to wait the fiveor ten minutes it takes topick their choice of candi-date.

Yet those same poten-tial voters are willing tocalmly accept traffic, park-ing line-ups, and the pressof other fans to get to ahockey game (not to men-tion shoppers’ willingnessto camp out overnight topurchase the latest hi-techdevice).

What, exactly, I won-dered, makes hockey morerelevant to people’s livesthan politics ? Listeningto interviews with play-ers, coaches and generalmanagers provided someanswers.

When a team loses, theplayers take responsibility.Rather than hiding fromthe media – or using what-ever handy excuse comesto mind – they respectfullyrespond to questions. Onthe other hand, politiciansoften rely on the out of“privileged information”.

Coaches are also subjectto a culture of responsibil-ity– they recognize theirjobs are on the line if theydon’t perform. Politicians,no matter how weak theirperformance, count onlongevity and name recog-nition for another term inoffice.

And general managerscan be the biggest surpriseof all. The morning ofthe Canucks/Sharks firstplayoff game, Mike Gillistakes time to let the mediaknow his high opinion ofthe Sharks. What, no attackads ??

I’m wondering whetherwe could install pollingbooths at hockey arenas.Of Course the only problemhere is that the number

of write-in votes for theSedins et al would likely putthe counting machines intooverload.

Regina DaltonAbbotsford

What will we reallyget from PM Harper?

Editor, the Times:There will soon come a

time when most may wishthey had never heard thename Stephen Harper letalone voted for him.

He has a majority gov-ernment even though 60per cent of the elector-ate voted against him.He plans to get ‘tough oncrime’ even though thecrime rate is down.

He plans to build a lotof prisons without morejudges, so the only waythat will work is to bringin compulsory minimumsentencing like our U.S.A.neighbour where you aresent to prison withouttrial for misdemeanors.

Maybe even vagrancywill qualify, if so, you’dbetter hope you don’t loseyour job!

These prisons will ofcourse be private work(slave) prisons, otherwise,how can they be paid for.Also Harper’s new ‘healthpolice’ are trained andready to go. Their job isto remove all of thosenasty natural health prod-ucts that aren’t govern-ment (pharmaceutical)approved. Will alternativehealing methods be out-lawed too?

I wonder if they willeventually outlawthe humble dande-lion? (google it) Mine areorganic; I eat them andthe leaves regularly. Amost beneficial herb thatwe are pressured to eradi-cate by ‘big pharma’s’cousins, the pesticide

peddlers.The U.S.A. imprisons

more citizens than anyother country in theworld, will we soon benumber two? You betcha,if the ‘Stephen Harpergovernment’ has its way.

Mission impossible toexplore on foot

Editor, the Times:I have lived on 2nd

Avenue in Mission for twoyears now. In that time Ihave noticed a few prob-lem areas while tryingto walk to places in ourtown.

Jack Poole HarboursidePark: are you aware thatthere is no safe way towalk to the park?

When you go over theMurray overpass and turnonto Horne, you have tocross the highway twicewithout any crosswalk.

I was with my twoyoung girls in a strollerand let me just say, Iwon’t bother doing thatagain. Related to that, Ialso noticed that therewas no way to cross to thecasino.

Mr. Pets: If you try towalk from second to Mr.Pets, there is no cross-walk. The closest cross-walks are at Stave Lake(maybe) or at Murray, butin both cases you have towalk along the shoulder,which doesn’t feel thatsafe with the speed thatcars go on the highway,especially when pushing astroller.

The Junction: I walkedto Canadian Tire a coupleweeks ago by crossingover Murray and walkingalong London Avenue,and realized there is nosidewalk along the road.

I made it, but again it

felt like I was too close tothe traffic. On a relatednote, are there any plansto link the Safeway com-plex to The Junction usinga pedestrian overpasssimilar to the one by theWest Coast Express?

I often see people walk-ing on the shoulder ofthe highway to get to TheJunction, so I am surea pedestrian overpasswould be well used. Itwould be terrible if noth-ing was done and some-one was hit while walkingon the shoulder of thebridge.

I really enjoy living inMission and love all of thedifferent parks and areas,but I do think more couldbe done to make our towna more walkable andenjoyable place to live.

Dairy industry championJim Waardenburg dies at 74ROCHELLE BAKER

[email protected]

The city of Abbotsfordlost an undisputedchampion of the dairy

industry and communityadvocate with the death ofJim Waardenburg on Satur-day.

Abbotsford-South MLAJohn van Dongen, a formeragriculture minister, said 74-year-old Waardenburg wasa force to be reckoned withwhen promoting the dairyindustry and agriculture bothlocally and nationally.

“This guy was an incredibleindividual,” said van Dongen,who first met Waardenburgwhen the pair served togetheron the board of what is nowthe Fraser Valley Milk Produ-cers Co-op Association.

“He was an outstandingleader, and had an incrediblepersonal capacity for under-standing finance.

“Throughout the ’70s, ’80s,and ’90s, I can say withoutthe shadow of a doubt, hewas one of the most influ-ential players in the nationaldairy industry.”

Waardenburg, who diedafter a battle with lung can-cer, initially worked for 16years with the Royal Bank.

He and his brothers Way-

ne and Albert went on toestablish and operate theWaardenburg Brothers DairyFarm in Matsqui from 1968to 2000.

In the meantime, Waarden-burg served in a number ofcapacities including chair ofthe B.C. Farm Debt ReviewBoard, director and presidentfor Dairy Farmers of Canada,and Dairyland vice-presi-dent.

In the larger community,he served as president ofwhat is now the MSA Societyfor Community Living.

A husband and father offour, Waardenburg lovedfishing, camping and gar-

dening.Van Dongen, who is presen-

ting Waardenburg’s eulogy,said his friend was a positivementor whose absence willbe apparent to all who knewhim.

“He had such a range ofgreat personal qualities that Ican’t begin to describe them,”said van Dongen.

“He was very often theinvisible hand behind thescenes.”

Waardenburg’s funeralservice is scheduled for Fri-day, May 20 at 1:30 p.m. atthe Salvation Army CascadeCommunity Church, 35190DeLair Rd., Abbotsford.

– PHOTO SUBMITTED/FOR THE TIMES

Jim Waardenburg, far right, was a strong advocate for the dairyindustry and all things agricultural. He died on Saturday.

“[The appointments] give the West strongrepresentation in Ottawa,” said Fast.

“The prime minister had the unenviabletask of balancing the regions and MPs andI think he did a remarkable job.”

Abbotsford-South MLA John van Dongenwas quick to offer Fast his congratulations.

“I think it’s great news for B.C. andAbbotsford that Ed Fast has been appointedto cabinet,” said van Dongen.

“I think it’s really great Abbotsford hasa voice in cabinet. Fast is the MP directlyinvolved in expanding trade in B.C., andbeing on the West Coast, we will be directbeneficiaries.”

With a local MP in the position, Abbotsfordcan capitalize and expand on all the poten-tial activity in the Pacific Rim, particularlyin India and China, he added.

Fast replaces MP Peter Van Loan whobecomes government House leader.

He is one of 39 members of cabinet, oneof the largest ever established.

First elected Abbotsford’s MP in 2006,Fast handily won a third term in the recent

federal election on May 2.During his second term, Fast was Chair-

man of the Standing Committee on Justiceand Human Rights while he served as amember of Standing Committees of Cana-dian Heritage and Transport, Infrastructureand Communities during his initial term.

While he was MP, Abbotsford received$45 million in federal infrastructure fundingthat included the McCallum and ClearbrookRoad interchanges, the Abbotsford Interna-tional Airport expansion, Abbotsford/Hunt-ingdon Border Crossing improvements,Mill Lake Spray Park, Mission Bridge safetyimprovements and Discovery and MatsquiTrail systems.

◗ Fast graduated from law school at theUniversity of British Columbia in 1982,but started his political career after beingelected to Abbotsford school board threeyears later.

He was elected to Abbotsford city councilin 1996, where he served for nine years.

Fast and his wife, Annette, have livedin Abbotsford for more than 29 years andraised four daughters in the community.

STAVE FALLS/HAYWARD LAKE NOTICES

ONE LANE ROAD CLOSURE – DEWDNEY TRUNK ROADMay 23 – July 15, 2011Monday – Friday, 24 hours

Stave Falls Spillway Gates ReliabilityProject and Completion of Gantry CraneInstallation

The Stave Falls Spillway Gates ReliabilityProject has begun. The project involvesthe replacement of the four existing radialspillway gates and the existing radial gatehoists. To operate the gates, BC Hydroinstalled a new crane in 2010. This craneis required to lift and lower the gates andis moved into position on a rail that isembedded in the roadway. BC Hydro willbe replacing these rails starting mid-May,2011. A one lane closure of Dewdney Trunk Road for six to eight weeks is requiredto complete this work. Priority access will be given to emergency vehicles and theschool bus.

Periodic road closures of Dewdney Trunk Road will continue to be required over thenext two years to facilitate the replacement of the spillway gates. In general, thesewill 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 thetwo-year project.

Loop Trail will be closed over Blind Slough Dam during construction. BC Hydro willre-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 toaccommodate annual maintenance on the Ruskin Dam spillway gates. Lowering ofthe reservoir will begin on Tuesday, May 24 to reach the elevation of approximately34.5 metres in four days.

Lower than average water levels will expose steep shorelines and slippery slopesalong Hayward Beach and the entire reservoir shore. The beach can be used withcaution, but the water will not be accessible. The Hayward boat launch and dog beachwill 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 atHairsine Creek

An environmental management plan has been developed to protect fish and wildlifeduring the lower water levels.

The water will begin rising again on Friday, June 24, 2011. Normal operating levelswill return well before Canada Day, July 1.

For more information on these projects, visit www.bchydro.com or [email protected].

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to ourcustomers. Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects,upgrading existing facilities and working with our customers to conserve energythrough Power Smart.

Wikipedia’s Cana-dian Forces casualtiesin Afghanistan beginsby noting that Canadianmilitary activities

in Afghanistan haveresulted, thus far, inthe highest number offatalities for any singleCanadian military missionsince the Korean Warbetween 1950 and 1953—a total of 155 killedsince 2002. Wikipedia’s Coalition casualties inAfghanistan breaks down these statistics: thoseresulting from enemy action —132, those from‘friendly fire’— 6, and those from ‘accidents ornon-combat circumstances’—17.

The last category is further broken down:“6 in vehicle accidents, 2 in a helicopter crash,2 from accidental falls, 2 from accidentalgunshots, 2 suicide deaths, 2 unspecified non-combat-related deaths and 1 death from anillness. Injuries since April 2002 are reportedat 615 soldiers wounded in action and 1,244from ‘non-battle injuries’.

The first-mentioned article lists by year,name, rank, unit and ‘circumstance’ all of thepersonnel who have died. Units frequentlycited are the various battalions of the PrincessPatricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI). ThePPCLI distinguished itself in both World Wars,Korea, in numerous operations in support of theUnited Nations and NATO, and now in Afghani-stan. The PPCLI, one of the three CanadianRegular Force infantry regiments is comprisedof three Regular Force battalions: the FirstBattalion, garrisoned in Edmonton, Alberta; theSecond, in Shilo, Manitoba; and the Third, inEdmonton, Alberta.

In the early hours of Sunday May 1st,2011— around 12:30 am —four soldiersfrom 2 PPCLI were in a 2003 Ford Escapetravelling westbound on Provincial Road 457

near Brandon, Manitoba.While attempting to crossa bridge over a creek, the26-year-old driver, Pte.Brayden MacLachlan, fromPort Dover, Ontario lostcontrol of the vehicle onthe snowy road. It hit theguard rail, shot over thebridge and landed on itsroof partially submerged inthe creek.

Pte. MacLachlan and the 24-year-old frontseat passenger, Pte. Daniel Scoular of HalfMoon Bay, British Columbia died at the crashscene. Cpl. Yannick Wright, 27, of Toronto diedon the following Monday morning. The fourthsoldier had been able to get himself out of thevehicle and climb up to the road for help. Atlast report, he was still in hospital. This Win-nipeg Free Press story was reported nationally,not only because of the status of the victimsas military personnel, but also because theirdeaths, added to the three other road fatalitiesthat day in Manitoba blamed on the winter-likeweather “lashing” the province—the sheernumber of fatalities— was particularly horrific.

Young soldiers dying in non-combat circum-stances, particularly in vehicle crashes, ishardly new. In 1954, U.S. President Eisen-hower, along with securing the funding to startconstruction on a national interstate highwaysystem also sponsored a White House confer-ence on traffic safety. At least in part the USmilitary was behind this initiative having dis-covered that by 1953 “more service men weredying in road accidents than in the KoreanWar.” Among the suggested solutions: — theadoption of the relatively inexpensive seatbelt,the use of which, one study claimed “couldsave more than 5,000 lives a year.”

Opportunities forplanting never end

in gardening but summer-flowering bulbs are amongplants that may stay with usfor many years – providedwe store them properly overthe winter.

Among the most flam-boyant are tuberous bego-nias. Most varieties havehuge double camellia orrose-type blooms in reds,yellows, oranges, whites andpinks. Some have petalsedged in different colours(picotees), others are gentlyshaded. One can chooseplants with serrated-edgeblooms or ruffled ones andupright or pendula growthhabits.

For early flowers, it’s bestto start the tubers insideduring late February orMarch in containers or flatsand cover them shallow-ly with potting mix. Theindentation that producesshoots should be on top.The rounded side where theroots will emerge shouldface down.

You can start them later– (unsold tubers often goon sale in spring). Begoniascan’t be put outside till frostseason is over anyway.

They can be fussy to grow.Begonias hate heavy soil.They need good drainage,rich feeding, and the kind ofsunless shade that has lotsof light. Constantly moist

conditions please them butmoisture on their leaves cancause disease.

Some gardeners cankeep the same tubers (andenlarging) for years witha flower display that getsbigger and better each sum-mer. When they die backfollowing cool fall nights,they can be lifted and driedoff a little. Then the stemscan be cut back and thetubers stored in dry peat orvermiculite.

Gardeners who love brin-ging cut flowers into thehouse often plant gladiolicorms each year – thoughthe flower garden isn’talways the best place forthem. Large-flowered varie-ties tend to lean unless sta-ked, they need full sun andspace and once cut leave anunsightly stump behind.

Gladioli do well in mostsoils and in the vegetablegarden they can easily sharein the good drainage, richnutrition and weekly wate-ring that some food cropsget.

There’s a huge varietyof colours and forms: red,

orange, yellow, white, pur-ple, bicoloureds, serratededges as well as dwarfs.– and all make long-lastingand gorgeous cut flowers.

Corms can be lifted whenleaves yellow. After drying,the leaves are removed andthe corms stored in meshbags in a cool, dry, airy spot.Mesh bags work well.

The beautifully scen-ted Gladiolus callianthus(formerly acidanthera) isanother lovely cut flower,not unlike a narcissus withwhite petals and centralmaroon splotches. It likesthe same sun, soil, feeding,watering and storage thatother gladioli do. It willflower for six weeks if youkeep it cut.

Eucomis (Pineapple Lily)also flowers for many weeksand is beginning to beavailable in more colourfulvarieties. All retain the tuftof leaves crowning the flow-er stem, but ‘Leia’ (the Alo-ha Lily) has very large pinkflowers, ‘Sparkling Burgun-dy’ has bronze purple leavesand pink flowers, ‘Montana’has white florets with darkpurple anthers and ‘Vander-merwei’ has ruffled greenleaves with purple spots andpurple flowers.

Awell–landscaped yard can provide a lotmore than good looks. Landscaping can

also increase property value, offer home–energy savings and provide privacy and homesecurity.

“We’ve all seen how a good first impressioncan move a buyer to take a closer look andbe more willing to overlook shortcomings aproperty may have,” say Carlo Racioppo, bro-ker/owner at Royal LePage Realty Plus. “How-ever, landscaping goes beyond curb appealand offers some added benefits as well.”

Property value: In contrast to many homeimprovements, the value of an investmentin landscape improvement increases overtime, since the growth and maturity of treesand shrubs continues to enhance aestheticappeal.

The value of an attractive landscape tothe selling price of a home is often cited atbetween 10 and 12 per cent. However, a 2009Virginia State University study concluded thatdesign sophistication was the highest rankedfactor to add perceived value of a home, fol-lowed by plant size. Thus, securing the ser-vices of a landscape design professional couldoptimize your return on investment.

Energy savings: Strategic placement of treesaround your home can significantly reducemonthly utility bills. Deciduous trees, whenplaced to shade windows that receive a lot ofsunshine, can lower energy bills with a lowerdraw on air conditioning. Since deciduoustrees lose their leaves in winter, the sun canshine in during the cooler months, serving to

warm the house. To save on heating bills inwinter, a thick evergreen hedge can block coldwinds from robbing a house of heat.

Privacy and security: A thorny hedge atkey points around a property provides a gooddeterrent to intruders. Prickly shrubs aroundwindows can also ward off burglars, but besure to trim back regularly since shrubs thathave grown too tall can have the oppositeeffect. Trees and shrubs also serve to provideprivacy in a yard and to block unwanted viewsoutside your property.◗ More information on ways to boost theresale value of your home is available onlineat www.royallepage.ca.

(MS) Interlocking brick and cobblestoneare attractive choices for driveways, patiosand connecting paths. Weed growth is a com-mon problem around these pavers and, ifleft unchecked, can ruin the look if you don’tliterally nip it in the bud.

When left too long, pathway weeds soontake over and the eventual removal becomesfar more difficult and far more costly. Sincethis growth begins in the spaces between theinterlock bricks, it is largely inaccessible. Ifsome of the roots are left behind when pull-ing out the weeds, these weeds will simplygrow back.

Alternative solutionsHerbicides are under scrutiny in most

municipalities and, as a result, homeownershave developed many home-made remediesto deal with these weeds.

Some examples include pouring bleach,vinegar, or boiling water on the weeds that aregrowing in between the paving stones. Theseremedies are unproven and in some cases arehighly dangerous if splashed on your skin orin your eyes.

“Fortunately, horticulture scientists haveproduced a selective herbicide that is botheffective at killing weeds, but keeps the envi-ronment in mind,” says Reinie Drygala, Lawn-care Products Manager for Clear Choice, aleading name in innovative garden prod-ucts.

“Our researchers from leading universitieshave tested, proven and produced a break-through in weed control technology.”

When shopping for herbicides, compare thelabel on a Clear Choice bottle to competitiveproducts using the same active ingredients.

The Clear Choice formulation contains upto 85 per cent fewer active ingredients. Usingmicrotechnology, the Clear Choice formulacontains extremely small particle dropletsso that the formulation can easily penetrateinto the weed. The result is that the activeingredients are used more efficiently.

“This breakthrough in technology reducesthe amount of active ingredient required tokill the majority of broadleaf weeds,” Drygalaexplained. “It is effective on at least 60 variet-ies, including dandelions, clover and plantainwhile being friendly to your lawn.”

At Home

Ah! The warmer temperatures are bring-ing us back outdoors. But before youcan truly enjoy the fresh air – there are

many needed updates to your patio areasto help recover from the harsh effects of oldman winter.

Luckily, with a few spruce-up projects inonly a weekend, you can achieve a patiorevival that’s simple, yet sensational.

Wash Away WinterNo matter what type of patio, pressure

washing is a simple way to make it shine. Itoffers instant gratification as layers of dirt,dust and grime are quickly blasted away.Don’t have a pressure washer?

Don’t worry, most rental companies orhome improvement centres offer reason-ably priced daily rentals.

Or it’s an opportunity to visit the neigh-bours who you haven’t seen during the coldmonths to borrow theirs.

Bring New Life to Old FurnitureOnce your patio is clean, bring out the

seating. But have your table and chairsseen better days? Fortunately, you can eas-ily turn something ready for the trash intoa new treasure by updating it with a coat ofspray paint.

To start, lightly sand and clean the entire

surface. Next, spray the entire piece of fur-niture with a new, updated paint colour.For metal, wood or wicker surfaces, tryKrylon’s Outdoor Spaces spray, or for plas-tic surfaces, try Krylon’s Fusion for Plasticspray paint.

Both products are available in a wideselection of popular colours and finishesand offer superior protection to keep yourpatio furniture looking beautiful for yearsto come.

Petals and Pots with PizzazzFinally, liven up your patio with beauti-

ful flowers. But just as important as thepretty petals, is planting them in the per-fect pot.

Terra cotta pots are ideal since they comein a variety of sizes and are inexpensive.For added pizzazz, you can update theseplanters with a splash of colour.

To start, turn each pot upside down onnewspaper and spray the pot with yourfavourite shade of Krylon Outdoor Spacesspray paint.

Once dry, you may choose to spray yourvibrant pot with a clear or glitter spray toachieve the dazzling finish you desire.

◗ With just these few simple projects, yourpatio will be festive and fashionable with justa weekend’s worth of work. More informationon other projects can be found online at www.projectsinacan.com.

It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all theseyears when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night.Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free.

Gert Dupuis, Hanmer,ON!Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more painnow. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering foryears I desperately tried everything, drugs, naturalproducts,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothingwas of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by takingshark cartilage that was specially processed to preservethe natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are nowpromoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million menand women that are battling the same illness and gettingtreatments that are not working well, otherwise we would nothave this ongoing huge health problem.

seeking information about Batke’s disappear-ance, saying her absence without contactingher family was unusual. They described heras 5’ 3” and 120 pounds with brown hair andbrown eyes. On Monday, Surrey RCMP Cpl.Drew Grainger said the missing-person file isnow in the hands of the Integrated HomicideInvestigation Team.

IHIT’s Cpl. Dale Carr confirmed that inves-tigators “are aware of a link between Woodruffand Batke.”

“We are aware she is missing and is believedto be dead. The file is still under investiga-tion,” Carr said.

Carr would not say if Woodruff is also asuspect in the disappearance of Batke.

Woodruff has a lengthy criminal histo-ry, mostly related to fraud and theft cases.According to the Provincial Court online

registry, he was convicted in March 2009 offraud over $5,000 and got a day in jail. He wasalso convicted in 2003 of using a stolen creditcard. Other fraud and theft charges date backto the 1990s on Vancouver Island.

Carr said last week that investigators hopedthe arrest of Woodruff might “bring someclosure to the families.”

Dudley’s parents, Rosemarie and MarkSurakka, launched a complaint against theRCMP officer who was on duty the night theoriginal shots-fired call was received by a Mis-sion RCMP dispatcher.

The RCMP board of adjudication foundCpl. Mike White did not adequately followup on the call.

He was given a written reprimand and lostone day’s pay for disgraceful conduct.

A coroner’s inquest has been called into theDudley-McKay deaths, but is not expected totake place until the criminal case concludes.

SUSPECT, from page A4

‘We are aware she’s missing and is believed dead’

“There are fewer targets forrival gangs to rip off, andfewer targets to shoot in theirdriveways.”

Abbotsford, multiple recip-ient of the Murder Capitalmoniker, had a total of 16homicides from March 2008to August 2009 – 11 of themgang and drug related.

The most shocking mur-ders involved two highschool students dabbling inthe drug trade. The GSU wasestablished as an antidoteto violence with a mandateto aggressively disrupt andprosecute gangs.

In 2010, the GSU under-took 42 investigations or dis-ruptions, executed 19 searchwarrants, and arrested anumber of key gang mem-bers. The APD also now hasan inventory of intelligenceon gangs in the communitycomplete with 84 gangsterprofiles and 43 individualsdeemed to be high risks.

The APD is also now track-ing what violent crimes arethought to be gang and drugrelated, although many inci-dents are never reported.

The most significant num-bers relate to violent homeinvasions, said MacDonald.

Of the seven home inva-

sions reported in 2011, six arelinked to gangs and drugs.

Since September 2009,Abbotsford homicides havedropped to five with only twolinked to gangs or drugs.

Shots fired incidents havedropped from 17 in 2009, toa total of six in 2010.

This year the gang squadhas executed 13 search war-rants that netted 12 firearms,including an Uzi, and 2500rounds of ammunition.

In 2011, the GSU is settingits sights on 30 key gangsters– having already charged 14– and intends a 10 per centreduction in violent gangcrime.

W ell, the first leg of ourCycling for Diversitywas a tremendous suc-

cess. After 14 stops in the Mis-sion-Abbotsford area and sevenschools visits, the team with avaluable Canadian message thisVictoria long weekend is keepingthe pace towards the provincialcapital.

There were a few challenginghills and some sore legs, but weall arrived at our scheduled desti-nations on time, had many inspir-ing discussions in classroomswith our youth and an upbeatparty at Canada Safeway on SouthFraser Way, which generouslysupplied all the cyclists with foodand refreshments.

Customers were given cakeand were entertained by Koreandrummers and Bhangra dancers.I would like to thank the teammembers for operating as a unit,which resulted in no one getting

left behind in our tracks. Fromstart to finish, we will be making25 stops in our 11-city tour withovernight stays in Langley, Burna-by and Delta.

We started planning for thistrip in March after a small groupof us gathered in a coffee shop inAbbotsford. One of the memberssuggested a cycle trip would beperfect on World Day for CulturalDiversity for Dialogue and Devel-opment (May 21).

Like the many people outthere, I had no idea a day like thiseven existed on the calendar. Assomeone who has been focusingon diversity topics for the past 16years, I thought this would be aterrific way to celebrate both peo-ple and culture. We all agreed thata cycling journey to the provincialcapital would be a fabulous expe-dition.

When I speak to Canadiansabout cultural diversity they usu-

ally get excited. Where else in theworld can we share our uniquecultures and still live peacefully asneighbours?

Nothing comes to my immedi-ate attention more then whereall global citizens can celebratetogether as one, regardless of yourrace and religion.

On the United Nations websiteit outlines the following descrip-tion: “The World Day for Cul-tural Diversity for Dialogue andDevelopment provides us withan opportunity to deepen ourunderstanding of the values of

cultural diversity and to learn to‘live together’ better.”

The best way to follow the UNmandate and build an inclusivecommunity is to actually celebrateour many cultures that exist with-in our communities. The more wecelebrate, the greater understand-ing we create. Multiculturalismwill always be a work in progress.In order for it to work effectivelyeveryone has to participate equal-ly. We should never overlook thisvaluable fact.

One of the main reasons Idecided to take on this ride isto share in a discussion that, asa columnist, I am hearing moreand more from readers that ourcommunities are facing isolationissues. This concerns me. I feel Ihave a responsibility to discussthese kinds of topics. Yes, culturaldiversity is working.

Can it work better?Absolutely.

The core principles of our jour-ney are teamwork, sharing andreaching out to celebrate whatwe have accomplished as Cana-dians. In two days our team willarrive at the Legislature buildingin Victoria to celebrate World Dayfor Cultural Diversity and we arevery excited. I have many peopleto thank and I will do that in anupcoming column.

But, I would like to acknowl-edge Wentings Cycle and Moun-tain Shop in Mission for loaningme the bike for this 200-plus kilo-metre trek.

We will be raising funds to pur-chase the bike and donate it tosomeone in need.

Donations can be made toEnvision Financial, account#45771128 (Mission Branch).

Thrilling more than eight million peopleworldwide since the show premiered in 1999,Dralion is the fusion of ancient Chinese cir-

cus traditions and the avant-garde style of Cirquedu Soleil.

And in its never-ending quest for harmonybetween humans and nature, Cirque du Soleil fusesthe 3,000-year-old tradition of Chinese acrobaticswith today’s multidisciplinary acts for their signa-ture show, which comes to Abbotsford June 2-5.

“Dralion is a mixture of two words,” said publicistJulie Desmarais. “Dragon represents the East andlion represents the West.”

In Dralion, the four elements that govern thenatural order take on a human form. Each elementis represented by its own colour: air is blue; wateris green; fire is red; earth is ochre (brown).

“All these elements are represented by dancersand acrobats who are in conflict at the beginningand at the end of the show come together in peaceand harmony,” said Desmarais.

That includes 52 performers, who are world-classgymnast acrobats, singers, dancers and comediansfrom 14 different countries. Half of the cast is fromChina, where the show’s creator recruited the bestacrobatics, added Desmarais.

Sounds from East and West, acoustic and electricmusic is infused with rhythmic and lyrical motifs.Influences range from Indian melodies to soundsfrom Africa, Europe and the West.

Acrobatic acts include pole balancing, lifts, tram-poline acts and more.

“Dralion will appeal to everybody, so everyonewill find their favourite part of the show,” saidDesmarais.

There are seven performances of Dralion fromJune 2-5 at the Abbotsford Entertainment andSports Centre.

For ticket information call the AESC at 1-866-977-2372 or go to www.abbotsfordcentre.ca.

The primary inspiration for the costumes of Dralioncame from China, India and Africa. The palette favoursvibrant solid colors, while the shapes are guided bythe artists’ movements and choreography.■ Over 5,000 metres (16,000 feet) of fabric wereused in creating the costumes;■ The fabrics come from around the globe, includingChina, the U.S., Italy, France, England and Quebec;■ Materials that might be considered unusual wereused in creating costumes and accessories: horse hair,

raffia, metal, window screen, emu feathers, crystals,styrofoam, plastic, bubble wrap, fun fur, springs andan array of hardware items;■ To create the texture on the chest plate of thesinger’s costume, bugs were glued on and thenmolded into different shapes;■ The artisans at the workshop in Montreal workedfor more than three months making the original

costumes, hats, wigs and footwear;■ The majority of the Dralion costumes arecustom-made for each artist, including shoesand head pieces.■ Dralion has close to 1,500 costume piecesincluding shoes, hats and accessories.■ More than 300 pairs of shoes are cleaned andpainted by hand every week.

SIMON GIBSON

For the Times

Guilty or innocent: most of us have asense of what these familiar wordsstand for. Being guilty means you

did something illegal while being innocentmeans you are found blameless.

Perhaps the most disturbing examplesof guilt are when people, usually men, arefound responsible for heinous crimes suchas murder, assault and rape.

The media frequently gives extensivecoverage to these trials especially if theperson charged is well known. Actors andother entertainers are especially fascinat-ing, apparently, and even the smallest detailis examined as the courts go through thelengthy process in determining guilt orinnocence. Unfortunately, however, it’s notalways that simple. Guilt and innocence arelargely legal terms which can often blur thedistinction between reality and perception.

For instance, many of us watched the O.J.Simpson case unfold some years ago and itseemed likely he was complicit in the killingof his wife. He had, after all, been previ-ously charged with violence against her andwas caught attempting to leave town with apassport, a disguise and a loaded gun.

The evidence all pointed to Simpson.However, his legal team – at great expense– succeeded in having the charge acquit-ted. Later, though, it was determined in acivil trial, which is less rigorous, that he wasliable for her death and ordered to pay sig-nificant damages.

So, was Simpson guilty of killing his wife,or at least arranging it? Speculation may beinteresting, but when it comes to this case,it isn’t relevant. He was acquitted of thecriminal charges.

Now, in the matter of the justice system

– on both sides of the border – we wouldn’twant to see guilt or innocence determinedby a polling of public opinion. Nonetheless,it seems that guilty people do, on occasion,succeed in ‘getting off’ through deceptivemeans.

There are even minor examples muchcloser to home. No doubt you’ve spokenwith someone charged with speeding orsome other motor vehicle violation. He orshe will effectively have the charge aban-doned by the judge.

The judge will require the testimony of apolice officer– who is not present – or thereis an error in recording the date or locationof the incident. It is therefore decided thatthe charge must be dismissed.

Is he or she really innocent? We all knowthe answer. But, there is relief because thereis no fine to be paid and no record kept ofany wrong. The Bible speaks to this whenit says, “All have sinned and fall short of theglory of God.” Sin – all the bad things wehave done – separates us from God and thatreality makes us feel empty and discour-aged. Perhaps you are familiar with the bestknown verse in the Bible: “For God so lovedthe world that he gave his only son, thatwhoever believes in him will not perish buthave everlasting life.”

Christ, who was perfect, accepted deathon a cross for you personally to take awayall of your sins – public and private – and herose from the dead.

You don’t have to feel guilty. ThroughChrist’s death you can be declared innocentbefore God. Why not call on him today?Confess your sins and begin an exciting newlife in him.

■ Simon Gibson attends church in Abbotsfordand writes Faith that Matters which appearsmonthly in the Abbotsford-Mission Times.

It’s not usual for a coach to be theface of a franchise, but Jim Play-

fair might be the exception.Since he was named as head

coach of the Abbotsford Heat onJune 5, 2009, Playfair has not onlybeen the go-to guy for the media– which goes without saying – he’slanded himself on media outletsacross North America, and through-out the world if you include You-Tube, and been a fixture at charityevents and season ticket rallies.

And it just so happens he’s backfor a third season behind the Heatbench.

On Monday, Calgary Flames gen-eral manager Jay Feaster, who hadthe “interim” tag removed from hispost, announced ata press conferencethat the NHL clubwould pick up theoption on Playfair’scontract, thus keeping him inAbbotsford for at least one moreseason.

“It’s still an opportunity to be ahead coach right now and that’s

important,” Playfair told theAbbotsford-Mission Times.

“I don’t really view it as a boost ofconfidence. It is what it is. Jay camedown, we had a good meeting todiscuss the plan going forward and

I like what they’retrying to do downhere.”

In his tenure ashead coach, there

hasn’t been much to criticize Play-fair on. He’s done a good job withwhat he’s had available to workwith.

In two seasons behind the bench,

Playfair, former head coach of theNHL Flames and a Calder Cupchamp in 2001 with Saint John,has guided the Heat to a 77-61-9-13 record and one playoff appear-ance, which came in the 2009/10season.

The Heat failed to make the post-season in 2011, finishing with arecord of 38-32-4-6, good enough forfourth place in the North Division.However with the AHL’s crossoverrule, Abbotsford was eliminatedfrom contention by the Oklahoma

Playfair back to man Heat for third year


Jim Playfair will be back next seasonas head coach of the Abbotsford Heat.See PLAYFAIR, page A29

One day he hopes to find himself in themiddle of one, holding up a prized title beltas the first Sikh to compete in the UltimateFighting Championship.

On Saturday, May 28, Man-gat will get one step closer tothat goal when he steps intothe octagon for his first pro-fessional bout at BattlefieldFight League 8: Island Beat-down, in Nanaimo.

This fight is not just the cul-mination of a three-year jour-ney for someone who knewnothing about the sport. It’snot just about a BFL feather-weight champion, or someonewith aspirations of competingin the UFC.

It’s a lifetime of figuring out who he was andwhat he wanted in life.

“I do feel like there is a lot of pressure,”said the 24-year-old Mangat, who trainsout of the Mamba Martial Arts Academy inAbbotsford.

“That’s where the whole mental aspect ofthis game comes in. I’ve got to realize thatit’s just another fight, just like the other ninefights I’ve had. That moment, and what you’vedone in the gym and what you’ve trained forare the only things that matter.”

But it means so much more.In three years, Mangat’s experience in mixed

martial arts has grown exponentially.It started one Saturday night when he went

out to watch UFC with some friends.His love for the sport began that night.He began training when he was 21, admit-

tedly unable to throw a punch, and has risenthrough the amateur ranks with astonishingresults, considering he has no formal trainingin any of the technical areas, like Brazilian Jiu-

Jitsu or Muay Thai boxing.Mangat’s big break came

at The Ultimate Fighter try-outs in March, thanks to sometenacious campaigning fromnot only himself, but hisfriends and family.

Thousands of messages,part of a massive Twitter cam-paign, were sent to UFC presi-dent Dana White.

They were received, anddespite Mangat not havingone professional fight at thetime – which went against the

rules – he was invited to try out.His chance to show White, and other front

office staff, what he could do came on March20, one day after UFC 128 in New Jersey.

It became Mangat against an unknown,randomly drawn opponent in a two-minutebattle in front of the sport’s biggest frontoffice figure.

No pressure, right? Wrong. And Mangatcharished every second of it.

“That moment, and what

you’ve done in the gym

and what you’ve trained

for are the only things

that matter.”

– Gary Mangat

“I’m excited for next year”City Barons.

Playfair watched helplessly in both cam-paigns as it seemed like player after playerfell to injury, which causedthe organization to dip intothe ECHL talent pool and pickup lower profile players fromacross the AHL.

It didn’t catch up to theHeat in the first year.

The team defied the oddsand made it to the secondround of the playoffs, eras-ing a 3-1 series deficit in theopening round to defeat theRochester Americans in sevengames.

This year, the Heat resem-bled more of a MASH unit. Injuries occurredearly and often, and the rag-tag bunch, com-piled mostly of rookies fresh out of juniorhockey, was never able to recover.

That wasn’t lost on Playfair, or Feaster forthat matter, when it came to setting forth ThePlan for next season.

“I think the biggest thing is to get someplayers in here who can help give our youngkids some really clear direction inside thedressing room,” said the coach.

“We were so young last year and now wehave a chance to come backand these kids are going tobe that much better pre-pared to be a better teamnext year.

“ I ’m e x c i t e d f o r n e x tyear.”

■ Never one to shy awayfrom offering his thoughtson the National HockeyLeague, there’s one matchupin particular Playfair wouldn’tmind seeing in the StanleyCup final.

“I’ve got a good friend in Cam Neely withBoston . . . I’m pulling for Boston obviously inthe East and growing up in British Columbia,I’m pulling for the Canucks,” he said.

“I’d like to see a Boston, Vancouver final. Ithink that would be a nice setup and it woulddo a lot of good for the game.”

PLAYFAIR, from page A28

“I’m pulling for Boston

obviously in the East and

growing up in British

Columbia, I’m pulling for

the Canucks.”

– Jim Playfair Abbotsford Heat

The Canadian women’s basketball teambegan its eight-day training and tryout sched-ule earlier this week at the University of theFraser Valley Envision Athletic Centre at theAbbotsford campus.

The national squad began training at UFVon Monday with two practices that day, andwill continue with a one-practice per dayschedule right through until Tuesday, when

the team departs for Spain and the 2011 FibaAmericas Championship for Women.

Tomorrow the Canadians are on the courtfrom 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and again onFriday for two sessions. The first one beginsat 9 a.m. until 11:30 a.m., and then 5:30 p.m.to 7:30 p.m.

– STAFF REPORTER

Canadian women’s basketball team at UFV

“It was probably one ofthe craziest experiences I’veever had,” he said.

“You walk in there andthis guy you’ve been watch-ing on TV, the president ofUFC, the guy who literallystarted the MMA movementis sitting right there in frontof you.”

And Mangat didn’t disap-point. However he was notpermitted to go through tothe next round, because theUFC could not justify lettingan amateur with no profes-sional experience advance.

He considers this justanother challenge in a lifefilled with them.

Getting bullied. Trying tofit in with people he didn’tquite fit in with. Getting his“butt kicked” the first timehe set foot inside a MMAgym.

Those were just a few ofthe obstacles he’s had toovercome growing up inWilliams Lake before mov-ing to the coast in 2006.

“I was always the shortestkid. It didn’t matter at whatage,” he said.

“I was easy to pick on. Ihad skinny little arms, but Iwas chubby and I had a selfesteem issue. I was alwaysa follower.

“I finally realized this justwasn’t me. It isn’t me.”

Then came the butt kick-ing; the first time Mangat setfoot inside a gym was like alamb to the slaughter.

“I was ready to give it upand never go back,” he said.“But then it was that nightthat I realized anytime any-thing got hard, I would giveit up. I was always lookingfor that easy way.

“There is no true easyway.”

These are the experiencesthat drive Mangat to trainevery day; to wake up andgo to bed with nothing butUFC on his mind.

Perhaps one day it willpay off.

“I believe I belong there,”he said. “When I get there,it’s going to say that I’mfighting out of Abbotsford.”

MMA fighter bullied


Gary Mangat went before UFC president Dana White at TheUltimate Fighter tryouts in March, even though he wasn’t pro.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections May 22 - 28, 2011★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Although manythings remain to be handled in money areas, lifestarts to lighten up. A restless feeling enters forthe next four weeks, as do short trips, errands,lots of conversations and casual meetings.These weeks bring your first opportunity insome months to make peace with someonewho has been quietly but strongly opposingyou. You should make peace, or come to someunderstanding (especially Monday, Friday/Saturday) because this person has the upperhand, and will for some time. It might evenbe your mate! Happiness early, wearinessmidweek, then energy Friday/Saturday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeksahead emphasize money, earning andspending, possessions and memory work/learning. (Dante said there’s no learning ifyou understand but don’t remember.) Beambitious Sunday/Monday. Despite a weefrustration Sunday morning, most factors lineup for success, especially Monday. Happiness,social joys and optimism enter midweek! Butretreat Friday evening to Saturday – rest, plan,contemplate. Employment or health matterscould face an obstacle Friday. Patienceand thinking will show the way past it. Yourcharisma keeps shining, right into June:continue with projects.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy,charisma and effectiveness climb over the fourweeks ahead. Start important projects, tacklechores that intimidated you, ask favours,chase someone. Through June 3, life (andyour efforts) can bring social breakthroughs,light love, freedom, or bring you a true mate,a lucky relocation or a beneficial contract!But by subtle stages, now to June 2012,you’re turning toward quiet solitude, charity,governmental links, institutional connections,and administrative tasks. These will be lucky.The hustle-bustle world won’t be. Joy hasbarriers Friday, none Saturday!

Cancer June 21-July 22: This week andthe next three are a “cross-over.” Part ofyour life will be tired, restricted, seekingrest, solitude and contemplation. You wantto sum up and plan. Another part will besocial, optimistic, seeking fun and lookingforward to future events. This second part isemerging, and will, by late June, win out fora year, bringing great luck, social delights,wish fulfillment, light romance, and a love oflife! But every spring needs a cold March, sowe can prepare. Use these weeks ahead toplan, fulfill obligations, and clear your desk. Acareer might come true. Wisdom, midweek.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Two themes occupyyou over the next four weeks: career, ambitionand prestige relations (e.g., with VIPs)are one. The other is wish fulfillment, lightromance, social joys, optimism and “futuregazing.” In the long run, now to June 2012,the ambition area will prove more powerfuland more beneficial. But for the month ahead,social delights, flirting and optimism win out.(In this, though, be willing to deepen flirtationinto real romance, and don’t believe all the“social promise” you see.) Be gracious: a VIP,boss or parent will be impatient into mid-lateJune. Opportunity, Monday!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Although theambitious side of your life is emphasized forthe next four weeks, don’t throw everythinginto this area – and DON’T do anythingunethical to get ahead, don’t change jobs,don’t push or dare a boss or parent, anddon’t launch a business. That advice holdsright into August 2012. Do, though, acceptanything that comes to you. This year anda half demands strict “morality” from you:on the good side, in two weeks you start ayear-long period of wisdom, understandingand gentle love. But avoid legal hassles forfour weeks. Attraction, midweek! Financialcaution Friday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Legal, cultural,love, international, higher education, far traveland publishing themes enter until late June.In addition, the next two weeks might bring(or further) a life-mate attraction or a majoropportunity. But don’t lean too heavily on thisentire (legal to publishing) zone, for it mightpromise more than it delivers. Simultaneously,through the weeks ahead, an accent growson secrets and secret action, sexual desires,lifestyle changes, investments, commitments:these will benefit you greatly from June toJune 2012! Romance frustrates Sunday day,but night’s magic!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The bulge of workthat piled on you over the last half year (andlast summer) is quickly ending. Now throughJune 2012 your efforts will be rewardedwith opportunities. But you might briefly losedirection during the few weeks ahead. Someadvice: for two weeks, continue to acceptresponsibility, extra work. For four weeks,be wary of committing yourself deeply,whether it’s a financial, sexual or lifestylecommitment. (E.g., moving to Alaska is alifestyle commitment.) Wariness is warrantedin these zones right into August 2012.For four weeks, don’t fight. Midweek,romance.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Bothopportunities and opposition face you for afew weeks. A romance might turn to life-matedecisions. Relocation, agreements, contractnegotiations, litigation, these arise. But bewary of all these: now through August 2011,they might contain pitfalls. If you feel you’rechasing an always-elusive or ever-recedinggoal, opportunity or relationship, turn yourback on it, completely. If it just falls into yourlap, accept. Soon work duties will expand,maybe hugely, to fill the 12 months ahead.Huge success could follow! Steady yournerves; learn to work without stress.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The four weeksahead emphasize work, health and machineryconcerns. Don’t give everything to this area– especially, don’t bury yourself in work toavoid other, scarier things such as romance.Romance, creative and speculative urges,pleasure, beauty, sports and games – thesemildly intensify now, and will grow to hugeproportions during the 12 months ahead.During the same year ahead, you’re going tomeet good luck in administrative, governmentalor institutional situations. Careful with moneySunday – chase it Monday. Nice friendsmidweek. Home irks Friday, soothes Saturday.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: A month ofromance, creativity, pleasure and beautystarts now. Kids will charm you, you’ll excel atsports and games. You’ll ride a winning streak!But many matters at home, or affecting yoursecurity, intensify now. This can bring frictionas well as affection, talk and action. Use theseweeks to prepare, if possible, for an extended(year-long) period of good luck in this zone,which will arrive June 4. Study real estateads, for example, or retirement plans, or getrepair/reno quotes. Your energy and charismasoar Sunday/Monday. You might attract love!Money, midweek.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The weeks aheadfeature security, your domestic situation, realestate, rest and recuperation, Mother Nature,nutrition, gardening. Do what you must, butdon’t plunge wholly into these areas, and don’tbegin big important projects here. You mightwant to end some associations and projects,and to begin others – but this would probablycause a lot of talk, and lead nowhere. Somevery interesting trips and lively new friendsare on the horizon, but they aren’t here yet.Rest, meditate and plan Sunday/Monday.Your energy rises nicely midweek. Money irksFriday, succeeds Saturday.
