ER cash for speedier hospitals
Local mom fights illness, loss of income assistance
Kerrie-Anne SCHOENITAbboatsford News
An Abbotsford mother says she’s being given the runaround by the govern-ment after being denied further employment in-surance sickness ben-efits.
Stephnie Smith was put on medi-cal leave by her doc-tor in June when she s t a r t e d experienc-ing severe s t o m a c h pain, nau-sea and cramping. Numerous tests and visits to special-ists were unable to pro-vide any answers. Smith is now waiting for sur-gery on Nov. 25.
While on leave from her full-time job at McDonald’s, Smith re-ceived $376-biweekly employment insurance cheques to help with ex-penses.
Those benefits ran out two weeks ago and she’s been unable to get an ex-tension.
Without income assis-tance, Smith doesn’t know how she will be able to afford rent or feed her three-year-old daughter Daleen.
“I’m in a very big pick-le right now,” she said. “I’m stuck. They’ve told me there is nothing they can do.”
Smith said she keeps getting the same answer from every-
one at Service Canada, the agency that delivers the employment insur-ance program. In order to qualify for another medi-cal leave, she needed to accumulate 600 insured hours in her time off since June.
Smith said she was told

Fifteen of B.C.’s busiest hospital emergency depart-ments will get a slice of $22 million to foster innovation in the latest round of the province’s pay-for-performance strategy, and Abbotsford will benefit.
Abbotsford Regional General Hospital’s emergency de-partment will receive an additional $1.177 million this year, directed at easing congestion and reduc-ing patient wait times.
“Fraser Valley hospitals saw a 40 per cent reduc-tion in wait times with the first round of decon-gestion projects and this funding will ensure that wait times in Abbotsford continue to be reduced,” says Abbotsford-South MLA John van Dongen in a press release.
“These new practices in emergency medicine are changing the way health care is delivered in our emergency rooms.”
The cash is being offered by health minister Kevin Falcon to reward hospitals that find new ways to unclog bottlenecks and get patients through ERs faster.
Fraser Health will get $6.4 million, spread between Surrey Memorial, Royal Columbian, Burnaby and
Abbotsford Regional hospitals.The biggest amounts – $12.4 million – go to Vancouver
General, St. Paul’s, Lions Gate and Richmond hospitals in the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, but hospitals in Victoria, Nanaimo, Kelowna, Vernon, Kamloops and Prince George will also get funds.
It’s expected the money could go to locally planned projects like special treatment areas or real-time elec-
tronic tracking systems to streamline patient handling.
Hospitals not on the list will still benefit, Falcon said, because successful strategies will be shared with them.
Falcon said initial pilot projects in the Lower Mainland found Fraser Health’s ERs were able to discharge twice as many patients with more minor problems within a two-hour standard than previously, despite a jump in ER visits due to the H1N1 flu outbreak last winter.
As with previous amounts pledged for MRIs and elective surgeries, the approval of projects and dis-bursement of ER grants is to be overseen by the new B.C. Health Services Purchasing Organization.
B.C. has earmarked $250 million initially for pay-for-

It doesn’t make sense. I feel like I’m not being heard, and it’s frustrating.
The final public information meeting on the city of Abbotsford’s 2011 budget is scheduled for Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium (32315 South Fraser Way). The public is encouraged to attend, meet with city staff, provide input and ask questions on the new budget. For more information visit www.abbots-ford.ca/budget2011
WATER MAIN WORK
Abbotsford will spent just over $4 million to replace 5.6 km of watermain and 1.2 km of storm main. A contract was awarded to BD Hall Construction Corp. for the amount of $3,990,917 plus HST for the work. Each year the city replaces approximately five kilometres of old asbestos concrete (AC) mains as part of its commitment to renew old infrastructure. A total of 138 km of AC watermains are scheduled to be replaced in the next 10-15 years.
FERRIESSCRAPPED
The two former Albion ferries that were replaced last year by the new Golden Ears Bridge will be sold for scrap.TransLink tried to sell the vessels for $1.1 million each but got no offers and only minimal interest from prospective buyers after posting them on Craigslist and marine industry websites.Officials expect the scrap value will only offset the labour and transportation costs of breaking up and removing the boats, which have been docked since mid-2009. The 150-foot 25-car ferries were built in 1972 and described as being in immaculate condition with new engines installed in the last few years. The last trip of the MV Kulleet and MV Klatawa was July 31, 2009 – a month after the tolled Golden Ears Bridge opened, providing a direct link between Langley and Maple Ridge.
NewsBytes‘No sentence could ever bring Clare back’
Lifetime driving ban for speederVikki HOPESAbbotsford News
A motorcyclist who raced through Abbotsford streets on Sept. 9, reaching estimated speeds of 170 km/h, has been sentenced to six months in jail and has been issued a lifetime driving prohi-bition under the Motor Vehicles Act.
Derek VanSchaik, 25, of Mission pleaded guilty in Abbotsford pro-vincial court on Wednesday. His conviction for dangerous opera-tion of a motor vehicle came with an automatic three-year driving prohibition under the Criminal Code because it was his second such conviction.
However, the superintendent of motor vehicles has the authority to issue a longer term if it is believed to be in the public’s interest.
Charges of operating a motor vehicle while disqualified were stayed against VanSchaik.
He was arrested Sept. 9 after the Air 1 police helicopter tracked him heading along Highway 11 from Mission to Abbotsford. He hit excessive speeds, ran red lights and stop signs, and passed drivers on the shoulder.
VanSchaik was arrested in the area of South Fraser Way and Bourquin Crescent after he inten-tionally dropped the Suzuki sports bike he was riding.
He has an extensive criminal record – mainly in Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Mission – that includes previous convictions for dangerous driving, impaired driv-ing and fleeing from police. He has also been convicted of break-and-enter, mischief, theft, uttering threats and carrying a weapon.
Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News
The mom of five-year-old murder victim Clare Shelswell told a Washington State courtroom yesterday morning that she lives every day with the images of her daughter dying in her arms.
Sarah Wilson of Abbotsford read a victim impact state-ment in Mason County Superior Court during the sentencing hearing for Peter James Wilson, 30.
He was sentenced to 55 years in prison for the first-degree murder of his stepdaughter on June 27 during a family vacation in Lake Cushman, a recreational and camping area in Hoodsport, Wash.
The sentence included two years for use of a deadly weapon – the kitchen knife he used to cut Clare’s throat.
Prosecuting attorney Gary Burleson recommended a sentence of 50 to 60 years,
while Wilson’s lawyer, Ronald Sergi, recommended 44 years.
Wilson did not qualify for the death sentence. First-degree murder in Washington State carries a minimum sentence of 20 to 26 years, but Burleson said the “aggra-vating circumstances” of the case had him seeking a lon-ger sentence.
Those factors included that the victim was particularly vulnerable and Wilson was in a position of trust.
Burleson said Wilson will not be eligible for parole for 52 years, nor are there any early release options as there are in Canada.
He said he did not know whether Wilson would fall under Canadian parole guidelines if he were to suc-cessfully apply to return to his home country. Burleson said the Mason County pros-Sarah Wilson appeared at Friday’s sentencing hearing to read a victim

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Bevan Avenue Wells Groundwater Supply Development Project
Abbotsford BC
Open House and Invitation to Comment
The City of Abbotsford (Proponent) is proposing to modify the Bevan Avenue Wells (proposed Project). The proposed Project would upgrade the pumping capacity of four Bevan Avenue Groundwater wells to increase the extraction rate to a maximum of 290 litres per second.
The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act.
The Proponent has now submitted its application (Application) to obtain an environmental assessment certificate which is required before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project.
In order to provide information to the public about the Application, and to receive comments from the public, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) invites the public to attend an Open House to be held:
at: Matsqui Centennial Auditorium Foyer 32315 South Fraser Way Abbotsford
on: November 3, 2010from: 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.
At 7:45 p.m. there will be a presentation by the EAO on the environmental assessment process with an opportunity to ask questions about the process. A second presentation will also be given by the Proponent in relation to the proposed Project.
If you are unable to attend the Open House, you may still wish to make a written submission. There are 30 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the Application. The comment period will begin on October 27, 2010 and end on November 26, 2010. All comments received during this comment period will be considered.
The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process.
The EAO accepts public comments through the following ways:

Lodestar forums for parentsVikki HOPESAbbotsford News
Abbotsford Police are holding the first in a series of information meet-ings for parents next Wednesday (Oct. 27) as part of the Operation Lodestar initiative, the latest in a series of police programs designed to keep kids away from drugs and gangs.
The session, for parents of students at Robert Bateman
Secondary and Clayburn Middle School, begins at 7 p.m. at Bateman school.
C o n s t . I a n MacDonald said the series will include 12 sessions, enabling police to invite parents of all local schools.
One will be open to the public and two will be conducted in both Punjabi and English.
Operation Lodestar was preceded by
Operation Impact, Tarnish and Veritas, which involved post-ers, videos and in-school presentations aimed at students.
Lodestar is the first one to focus on par-ents.
It is complemented by a poster campaign featuring a young boy dressed in gang-ster and prison attire accompanied by the slogan, “When I grow up, I want to be just like Daddy.”
MacDonald said the
forums will help edu-cate parents about drugs and organized crime in the com-munity and how they can steer their kids away from that life-style.
Mayor George Peary, Police Chief Bob Rich, and Sgt. Mike Novakowski will deliver the mes-sage.
M e a n w h i l e , MacDonald said Operation Lodestar is receiving strong support from the
business and educa-tion communities.
The posters and fact sheets have been posted through-out the campuses of University of the Fraser Valley, Columbia Bible College, Summit Pacific College, and Sprott Shaw Community College.
MacDonald said this is a great way to get the message out to current and future parents.
He said the pro-
gram has also been supported by several local bars and restau-rants.
“Having the post-
ers in bars, we wantpeople to contemplate(the issues) and wewant to engage themin conversation.”
Sessions address kids, drugs and gangs

‘He needs to do his time here’ecutor’s office would oppose any such application.
“He did his crime here (in the U.S.); he needs to do his time here.”
In a statement released to the media following the hear-ing, Sarah Wilson said the sentencing brings closure to the legal proceedings, but does not erase the loss of her child.
“To me, closure means a satisfying end to something, but no sentence delivered could ever truly satisfy because it could never bring Clare back.”
In her victim
impact statement read in court, Sarah described Clare as a “bubbly, smart, lov-ing, creative, vibrant five-year-old girl.”
She said pickles were her most-loved food and purple was her favourite colour.
“She was cheeky and had a fabulous sense of humour even though she couldn’t quite figure
out how knock-knock jokes were supposed to go,” Sarah said.
She described the losses she will experience of never
being able to attend Clare’s prom, teach-ing her to drive or seeing her “dressed in white and walking down the aisle.”
She said Clare’s sixth birthday was celebrated by releas-
ing balloons with notes attached from friends, adorned with art and stickers.
Sarah described how she has difficulty sleeping at night, as she relives the images from the day Clare was murdered. Previous court documents said Sarah and James had argued about dis-cipline that day and he told her he would “take care of it.”
Sarah found Clare downstairs as she lay dying.
She and her other daughter, Suzy, have been in couselling to deal with the trauma of not only losing Clare, but of having their family reduced from four to two “in
one fell swoop.”Sarah said she had
to move because she could no longer afford to pay the rent on their townhouse with just one income. It took her three months to return to her job as a licensed practical nurse, she added.
She urged the court
to deliver a sentence that would “reflect the significant and devastating impact of his actions, and our tremendous loss.”
“There is no sen-tence I can ask for that will ever be good enough, because no amount of time served in prison can ever bring Clare
back to us, or erasethe images of thathorrific night frommy mind.”
Sarah thankedthe communities ofMason County andAbbotsford for thesupport and “over-whelming love”shown to her andSuzy since the trag-edy.
her only other options were applying for wel-fare assistance or regular EI benefits, which both have long approval processes.
To qualify for regular EI benefits, she would need documentation from her doctor stating she is capable of working while looking for a job and getting better.
“How can I work when I am on medical leave? I’m off because I am sick,” said Smith, who is appealing the decision with Service Canada.
“It doesn’t make sense. I feel like I’m not being heard and it’s frustrating. They keep
passing me off.”According to an e-mail from Service Canada,
EI sickness benefits provide a maximum 15 weeks of income replacement and can’t be extended.
The program is structured to complement a range of other supports available for longer-term illness and disability.
These include benefits through the employer-sponsored group insurance plans, private cov-erage and long-term disability benefits avail-able under the Canada Pension Plan.
Service Canada did not response to News requests for further clarification.

‘They keep passing me off’
performance funding and that is to climb to 20 per cent of all health care spending by 2012.
NDP health critic Adrian Dix said the money is not new, but redirected from other health authority funding so the minister can conduct a
“branding exercise.”He said this year’s 1.2 per
cent increase in acute care funding for Fraser Health was far below what Victoria knew would be required and was proof more would be deliv-ered, with much fanfare.
“It’s ridiculous,” Dix said. “We have a minister of health
who thinks changing pots of money is reform in health care.”
He said claims of innova-tion are at odds with the gov-ernment’s cuts to acute care beds in Fraser Health and its failure to create nurse prac-titioner-led clinics or rein in spending on generic drugs.

Seeking control in the digital world
Here’s the scene:I’m sitting in my truck, at an inter-
section red light.On the corner island is a pedestrian,
also waiting for the light to turn in his favour.
He pushes the walk button.And then again. And again.And then he’s poking away at it in
rapid pulse mode, with a 100-psi fore-fi nger.
It was everything I could do to resist rolling down the window and yell at the guy, “Hey! It doesn’t change any faster the more times you punch the button, you doofus!”
But I kept my good counsel to myself, the lights fi nally cycled around, according to their timing settings, and he trundled across the street.
As I drove off, I couldn’t help but
wonder if he felt as though his patho-logical persistence had actually paid off.
I think there are people who do believe that the more you push a but-ton, the more attention it pays to the one doing the pushing.
You’ve seen them. The obsessive-compulsive button-pushers. They do the same thing with elevator controls. Some have it so bad, they also talk to the closed door or red light.
Poke, poke, poke. “Come on, come on ... I’m waiting!” Poke, poke, poke.
I want to grab these people by the shoulders, point to the light or elevator panel, and say, “Hello!? It’s a machine!”
These are electronic devices. They do not operate with any sense of urgency. Think automated telephone customer service provided by major credit card companies.
They are cold, heartless, mechani-cal things. They are programmed to do what they do. Sort of like Revenue Canada clerks.
The guy I was watching at the intersection could have been having a heart attack and was trying to run to the hospital for help, and that crossing
light wouldn’t have cared any more or any less. It would not have cared at all. It cannot care.
I would have cared, of course. Especially if the guy’s cardiovascular incident caused my red light to change to green quicker.
In that case, dude, push it again!Hey, we’re all in it for ourselves,
right?Actually, there are all sorts of benign
obsessive-compulsive behaviours in our increasingly digital world.
How many times have you seen people talk to their computers? Maybe you even do it yourself.
I suppose when you spend a major
portion of your life in front of a key-board and monitor, it’s understandablethat a personal relationship begins to develop with the device.
Sort of like Stockholm Syndrome, except the “kidnapper” is a computer.
After we program it – it programs us.
I swear a lot at mine. The curser of the cursor, so to speak.
Maybe we’re trying to hang on to thefi nal vestiges of humanity, and feel as though we need to develop a rapport – adversarial or otherwise – with the glowing screen and memory cards.
By communicating verbally to the device, we are giving it a spark of life, inviting it to emote, to give a darn.
Or perhaps, it’s all not so sociologi-cally complex. May we are just slowly going bonkers over our growing lack of control in our tech/mech world.
The guy at the traffi c light was merely expressing a frustrated, ancient instinct to dominate his envi-ronment.
“I am man! I am poking! Obey!”That’s actually pretty depressing,
isn’t it, little laptop ... laptop, are you listening?
YES: 77% NO: 23%

If the YMCA wants to build a facility in Abbots-ford let them pay the entire cost. We have recreation centres owned by the city and funded by taxpayers.
The YMCA would be a private facility. Could the people responsible for managing our money please do so responsibly? How about paying down the debt of an under-utilized arena or provide a new pool for
the northwest portion of the city?Robert
Since when does the city have to pay to see if a company can afford to be here? Isn’t the YMCA
going to be in competition with the city, offering the same services that the city offers with the MRC and
ARC? Hailynuit
$198 million for Plan A, including debt servicing, and $2.6 million subsidy to date, excluding any
other cost incurred over 25 years and a $500-million water/sewer bill looming.

lettersFamily law corrupt
Save our ‘choice school’When I watched closures of
other B.C. schools on the news in the past, I could never un-derstand what the big deal was, why all the emotion.
If I were an outsider to the currently proposed Dunach clo-sure, I’m sure I would still not understand, or care.
But this time I am not an out-sider; my family is stuck in the middle of it.
I am not a numbers and sta-tistics sort of person, I am an emotional and passionate sort of person.
Therefore I feel the need to reach out to the public and beg them to understand the “heart and soul” of Dunach Elementary, and why Dunach families are fighting so hard to keep our school open.
Choosing a school for our children was not a simple “go
to the catchment school” deci-sion. For us, choosing a school is about choosing a community, a lifestyle, a certain level of respect and acceptance, an ex-tended family with which we will be deeply involved with as our children grow.
Other parents who send their children to “choice schools” would understand this. However, our “choice school” was not “traditional” or “fine arts” or even “private school.”
We found a school where par-ents and staff are deeply con-nected with high respect for each other, and that in turn shows in the level of respect and acceptance between the teacher-student relationship, and the student-student rela-tionship.
In the board’s report, they stat-ed “From an enrolment stand-
point, Dunach Elementary is no longer viable as a catchment school...”, “...as there are fewer families with young children living in the area.”
In Abbotsford, we are given the choice to live where we de-sire, and send our kids to the school we desire.
However, this freedom is taken away from us in the above quotes.
Most Dunach families would love to live in the catchment area, but who of us can afford it?
Eighty per cent of Dunach students are out-of-catchment, some coming from as far as Chilliwack and Mission. That should say something.
Do not take our “choice school” away from us.
Leanne Hilderman
There is a culture of corruption in Canadian family law today.
Our contract to honour Canadian families and protect our children is breached on a daily basis by child protection agents, duty and legal aid counsellors and the divorce judges who referee family proceed-ings.
A strong family can only take root in a community that meets everyone’s needs. Any courthouse between Chilliwack and Vancouver routinely abuses fathers and their children with consequences for us all that last generations.
I want to challenge Canada’s interpretation of Section 7 of the Charter which claims we all have a right to life, liberty and secu-rity of person on the basis of New Brunswick v G.(J). 1999.
In that child protection case, a
judge ruled that taking a parentaway from a child is such a physi-cal and psychological trauma forboth the parent and the child thatthe state should offer a free legalaid lawyer to the parent for thetrial.
I think that’s a bad idea becauselegal aid lawyers are abusive.
But taking a parent away from achild without cause is physicallyand psychologically traumatic fora child of any age.
Taking a parent away from achild without cause during thebrief period of childhood is agreater evil.
Any judge who wants to take afather away from children shouldbe forced to call that proceeding achild protection hearing with asix-month review period.

The Abbotsford City Hall Crime Forum, held on the third anniversary of the Surry Six killings on Oct 19, was a tremendous moral booster and enlightening to say the least.
It was heartwarming to listen to the statements of Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich as he explained some of the failures in the present judiciary and the positive actions he has taken at various levels for the safe-keeping of Abbotsford residents.
It was touching to watch the aging retired Provincial Court Judge Wallace Craig’s genuine sorrow as he watched a once well run judiciary drifting off into a gathering ruled by mostly modern-thinking, gutless judges, whose judgments do not deter criminal actions.
“Most of the judges with a backbone are dust to dust by now”, he sighed.
Steve Brown, brother-in-law to murdered
Abby resident Ed Shellenberg, organized the forum. His remarks about restorative justice met with hostile reaction, and rightfully so.
Restorative justice for youth is one of the best things ever. Records prove the Abbotsford Restorative organization is one of the very best in Canada. Please keep up the good work.
I left the meeting with a sincere knowledge that, there is hope to upgrade the present shaky judiciary into a well-functioning and fair justice system, that will meet the needs of a modern day society. This will happen as long as people like Bob Ritchie, Judge Craig, the Steve Browns, a caring Mayor George Peary and an active Restorative Justice organization keep plugging away at it all.
Somehow, I have no doubt that they will do exactly that.

When are we going to stop? When will enough be enough? We just built a new recreation centre. Why
would we spend 30,000 on a feasibility study for a YMCA?
If it’s feasible, shouldn’t we let the interested parties come up with the money?
If people are so interested in fitness, maybe
we should go for walks more. We certainly have enough trails and to date there are no toll booths on them.
Maybe then we’ll have time to reflect and think.
Yes, we have enough and besides, fresh air is still free.

Hung jury in second trialVikki HOPESAbbotsford News
After several weeks of testimony in Chilliwack Supreme Court, a second trial for an Abbotsford man originally convicted of attempted murder has resulted in a hung jury.
Jurors could not reach a decision in the case of Clay Paul Reeves, first convicted in 2008. A mistrial was declared last Friday.
Reeves, 46, next appears in court Oct. 25. His lawyer, Jim Blazina, said it is now up to Crown counsel to determine the next step.
Options can include setting a date for a new trial based on the original charges, proceeding with amended charges, or dropping the charges altogether.
Crown counsel Carolyn Lawlor said all par-ties involved will be consulted before a decision is reached on the next step.
“We’re still considering what our options are and where we’ll go from there,” she said.
Reeves was found guilty in December 2008 for
the attempted murder of John Baird. He wassentenced to 16 years, but was given doublecredit for time already served, leaving himwith 12 years in prison.
Baird was found in the 33900 block ofMcConnell Road on Jan. 15, 2008, after policereceived reports of gunshots and a man scream-ing. Baird had been shot six times, sufferingwounds to his abdomen, arms, legs and wrist.
Testimony at the first trial revealed bothReeves and Baird were involved with drugs,and the victim owed Reeves between $100 and$150. Reeves never admitted to shooting Baird,and the weapon involved was never recovered.
A decision issued by the B.C. Court of Appealin February of this year found the judge inthe first trial erred by giving undue weight toa witness statement identifying Reeves as theshooter. The conviction was set aside and a newtrial was ordered.
Crown counsel did not oppose the new trial,which began last month.

Wins $27,000 scholarshipA popular Abbotsford umpire
has hit a home run in the field of academia.
Trinity Western University International Studies major Brayden Koslowsky is the recipient of the pres-tigious Fessenden-Trott Scholarship valued at $27,000 over three years.
Only one student can be nominated from each institution, and only four awards are given out across Canada. So the scholarship selection committee, administered by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC), selected Koslowsky from an exclu-sive group of students.
“Needless to say, Brayden’s appli-cation was very impressive,” said Erin Chapman, TWU’s associate director of financial aid.
Koslowsky submitted academicand community reference letters –one from Rick Stewart, a detectivewith the Abbotsford police – along
with a personal essay on hiscommunity involvement.
A seasoned baseballumpire, Koslowsky umpiredover 65 games this summerand even mentored otheryoung umpires.
In his second-year atTWU, Koslowsky is a resi-dent assistant in DouglasHall and sings in the TWU
chamber choir. “[The choir] is ahuge part of my heritage,” he said.“I’m looking forward to singing inthe choir along with my grandpa atthe Chan Centre this Christmas.”
He has his sights set on studyingat TWU’s Laurentian LeadershipCentre in Ottawa in his fourthyear.

Tougher driving rules snag 1,700 motorists
Jeff NAGELBlack Press
More than 1,400 dri-vers have been nailed with tougher penalties for impaired driving and another 435 have had their vehicles impounded for exces-sive speeding in the first 20 days of B.C.’s historic crackdown on dangerous driving.
Of the drivers san-ctioned for driving with a blood-alcohol content of 0.05 or above, 1,239 had their vehicles impounded but in most cases those drivers had blown readings higher than 0.08.
In the Lower Mainland, 254 drivers got immediate three-day roadside prohi-bitions and 363 got 90-day prohibitions between Sept. 20 and Oct. 10.
Besides losing their licence and car, moto-rists face costs of $600 to $4,000 to get back on the road.
Speeders caught at 40 kilometres or more above the limit can be impounded for seven days – 30 days on a second offence or 60 days for subsequent violations within two years. Nearly 200 of the excessive speeders were caught in the Lower Mainland.
Nearly 20,000 tickets – more than 3,000 a month – have also been handed out province-wide to drivers using cellphones or other handheld devices since a new distracted driving law came into effect Feb. 1.
The new statistics came as Vancouver Police Union presi-dent Tom Stamatakis warned the stepped-up impaired enfor-
cement is eating up police officers’ time waiting for tow trucks and taxis to arrive.
Solicitor General Mike de Jong said the number of drivers penalized is “alar-ming” but he defended the tougher admini-strative sanctions.
“The overwhel-ming response I have received from peace officers across the province is receptive-ness and enthusiasm for the ability and the
option of using a new tool,” he said.
De Jong said he doubts the admini-strative penalties will prove to be onerous for police, noting they might delay an officer 15 to 30 minutes up front, but avoid the need for a full impai-red driving investi-gation that consumes hours that night and potentially days of court time later on.
Officers previously issued up to 40,000
24-hour roadside suspensions a year to drivers in the “warn range” of 0.05 to 0.08.
According to the public safety minist-ry, drivers in the warn range are seven times more likely on average to be in a fatal crash than if they have no alcohol in their body.
Three impound-ments within five years now also force a driver to take a responsible driving course and use an ignition interlock device for a year after their ban is lifted.
The rules have been a new blow to restaurants because many patrons now are unsure whether the drink or two they previously enjoyed dining out now puts them at risk.
“The public doesn’t understand what 0.05 means now,” said Ian Tostenson, pre-sident and CEO of the B.C. Restaurants and Foodservices Association.
He estimated restau-rants have seen sales drop 10 to 20 per cent in recent months, but attributed that to the combined impact of the economy, the HST and the impaired dri-ving crackdown.
It’s been easier for downtown Vancouver restaurants, which have more clientele who don’t need to drive, but Tostenson said it’s significan-tly worse in more suburban areas of the Lower Mainland and rural parts of B.C.
Many restaurants are working, in some cases together, to find new ways to get patrons home safely without driving, he said, and some
establishments are starting to offer more low-alcohol drinks.

Local blitzIn early September,
Abbotsford has had a total of 45 immediate roadside prohibitions (IRP) over two week-ends.
Const. Ian MacDonald said that on each weekend – Sept. 25 and 26, and Oct. 2 and 3 – officers came face-to-face with about 500 drivers. There were only a few instances where the officers needed to use a roadside screening device, but in 40 per cent of those cases, the result was either a warning or a fail.

Ryan Prachnau was first to cross the line in a 5k time of 17.15. The run raises money to support victims of injustice in the developing world, and this year focussed on the Congolese city of Bukavu, where women have been victims of sexual terrorism and violence.

A man described as a “high risk to re-offend” and who was wanted on a Canada-wide war-rant in July has now had his statutory release revoked for the second time.
Frank Joseph Federici, 33, is suspected to have been connected to the theft of a vehicle and the possi-ble shoplifting of comput-ers in July of this year, ac-cording to National Parole Board (NPB) documents.
The documents say Federici was stopped by police on July 22 in a car that had the igni-tion punched out, and he was in the company of a person who had run away from a store security officer.
No charges were laid and he was instructed by his parole officer to return to the halfway house in which he was living at the time. Federici did not return to the facility in Chilliwack, and a warrant was issued.
He was arrested on July 31 in a city which the NPB documents do not identify.
His most recent statutory release was re-
voked on Oct. 5. The NPB documents say his case management team (CMT) believes he con-tinues to require “a high degree of supervision and structure.”
The CMT concluded that Federici’s risk in the community had increased to an “unmanage-able level.”
Federici was previously sentenced to 14 years for manslaughter in connection to a 1998 botched home invasion in Abbotsford in which he stabbed Ted Charles Green 11 times. Co-accused Bernard Barton was also sentenced to 14 years.
He was released the first time in November 2007 because he had served two-thirds of his sentence and was required by law to be set free.
The release was revoked in June 2008 after he admitted to his involvement in drug traffick-ing, leaving his supervision area and violating a parole condition to abstain from drugs and alcohol.
He was released again in May of this year because he had served two-thirds of the time remaining on his sentence.
His next statutory release date is estimated to be in March 2011. Conditions imposed upon his release include residing in a halfway house, going to counselling, and not to associate with any people involved in criminal activity or substance use.

Halloween a trying time for petsHalloween is blessedly uneventful
at the Chortyk household.My canine collection – Bob the
Labrador, Calleigh the poodle and Sam the shih tzu – are strangely oblivious to the fireworks that punctuate the night sky, displaying none of the anxious behaviour that some of my colleagues report about their dogs on All Hallows’ Eve.
One co-worker confined her dog to a separate room last year so that she would be free to answer the door to trick-or-treaters. Spooked by the incessant door-knocking and the odd burst of fireworks outside, the dog chewed the back of a bed-room door until her teeth and gums were bloody.
A year earlier, the same dog worked herself into a shuddering frenzy inside her crate. There was
no damage done, but it took hours for the pet to recover from the frightening experience.
For many animals, cats included, Halloween is an exceptionally try-ing time. There are strange people in the neighbourhood and constant traffic at the door, and for several days before and sometimes even after Halloween, fireworks pound the air outside.
This can cause animals to panic, putting both pets and people at risk. But with a little preparation,
Halloween doesn’t have to be scary. Here are a few tips to keep your furry friends safe.
Keep pets inside: Pets who are inside have fewer opportunities to confront trick-or-treaters. Keep them in a separate room where they can’t hear the doorbell or door-knocking. Turning on a radio or television in the room is a great way to mask any sounds your pet could find distressing.
Provide plenty of toys so that their isolation isn’t mistaken for punishment. Think about disabling your doorbell for the night, or, if your trick-or-treaters come in con-centrated bursts, wait at the door and greet them before they have a chance to knock.
Identification: Make sure your pet is wearing identification. Dogs and cats may try to run away if they feel threatened. Clear, current identification is your best chance to have them returned to you.
It’s not OK to say it’s OK: Avoid consoling your pets by saying things like, “it’s OK” or “don’t be scared” in a soft or sympathetic voice. This only reinforces the fear-ful behaviour and makes your pet think you’re scared, too. Instead, speak in an upbeat manner.
Don’t feed treats: Candy can
lead to health problems such asdiabetes or obesity, and chocolateis especially dangerous becauseit contains theobromine, which istoxic to dogs and cats. Keep treatswell away from Fluffy and Fido.
Visit spca.bc.ca for more informa-tion on Halloween pet safety.

Turning on a television for your petand keeping him in a separate room onHalloween helps distract him from thesounds of trick-or-treaters at the door.

I understand how easy it may be to forget about that small, inconspicuous safety device up there on the ceiling. But the importance of properly installed, functioning, smoke detectors in every home can not be stressed enough. That’s why my technicians often make a point of reminding homeowners of some important facts:
Smoke detectors that are nearing 10 years old must be • replaced, as they are no longer considered reliable.A fi re can double in size every 30 seconds, therefore the • window of time for a successful escape may be less than three minutes.Most residential fi re fatalities occur at night when the • smoke and gasses from a fi re dulls the senses and may actually put you into a deeper sleep.Interconnected smoke detectors with a battery back-up (in • case of power-loss) that are hard-wired into your home’s electrical system are the best option, and will greatly increase your chances of surviving a house fi re.

Students petition for transit link in Valley
University of the Fraser Valley stu-dents want a public transit link between Abbotsford and Chilliwack, and on Nov. 1 they plan to take that request to the streets.
Members of the UFV Students for Sustainability and the Student Union Society will fill a bus and travel from UFV’s Abbotsford campus, to Chilliwack City Hall and then back to Abbotsford City Hall. As part of the trip a transit sup-port petition, con-taining more than 5,000 signatures, will be presented to local politicians.
“We are asking our elected leaders if they will commit to work towards better inter-municipal pub-lic transportation
in the short term so that our communi-ties can develop and grow in a sustainable way,” says petition organizer Daniel van der Kroon.
“We really don’t care if it’s a bus,
a train, or a UFO. But there’s enough people driving that route every day that a mass transit option that people know about has to be viable.”
According to the
organizers of the petition, 17,300 trips are made from Chilliwack to Abbotsford or Mission each day. And 14,800 trips leave Abbotsford destined for Chilliwack.

No cash up frontfor JAMES plantKevin MILLSAbbotsford News
The $250-million price tag to run the JAMES sewer treatment plant will not create an immediate drain on city coffers.
The figure, contained in the JAMES (Joint Abbotsford Mission Environmental Systems) master plan, is based on a 20-year period. While the city does have to budget for the expenditures, there is no need for cash up front.
“We don’t have the money just sitting there,” said Judy Lewis, Abbotsford’s chief financial officer.
While the master plan identifies the total amount needed, funds are required and spent on a year-by-year basis.
“You have to remember, it’s an expenditure plan.”
To explain it in simpler terms, Lewis used the example of plan-ning to run a household for the next 20 years.
“If you take out a mortgage, how much are you putting on a down payment?” she asked.
Other factors that need to be planned, include what payments you make each month, what source
of income is coming in? How muchdo you borrow? Are there otherexpenditures?
“You don’t need it all up front,”she said.
But in the end, all of the moneywill be spent. The question is wherewill it come from.
“Some will likely be borrowed,”said Lewis.
Other sources of income that canbe used to fund the plant includefederal and provincial grants, devel-opment cost charges and user fees.
Sewer user fees are scheduled torise by 10 per cent next year andeach of the following four years.The average home in Abbotsfordpays $225 a year for sewer services.That will increase to about $250 in2011.
The high cost of running the plantis due mostly to asset replacement.Under the Public Sector AccountingBoard regulations, municipalitiesneed to keep track of tangible capi-tal assets and budget the cost forreplacing those assets.
The cost of the JAMES Plant willbe shared between the cities ofAbbotsford and Mission at a ratioof approximately 80/20.

Bidders line up to build biofuel plant
Jeff NAGELBlack Press
Metro Vancouver has no shortage of poten-tial business partners who want to build a new organic biofuel plant in Surrey that will turn food waste into energy.
Thirteen firms are in the running and they’re to be winnowed down to a short list by the end of the year ahead of a formal request for proposals call.
The plant will take 80,000 tonnes of household food waste per year – including kitchen scraps, egg shells, paper towels and pizza boxes – that would be ground up into a slurry and digested to produce vehicle-grade fuel.
The resulting natural gas could be used to power local waste and recycling trucks.
The plant will be adjacent to the existing Surrey transfer station in northeast Surrey, near 192 Street and 98A Avenue and could be open by late 2012, according to City of Surrey deputy operations manager Rob Costanzo.
He’s confident smell won’t be a problem for the plant.
“The odour issue is almost non-existent,” Costanzo said, noting a similar organic biofuel plant in Sweden is located next door to a Burger King restaurant.
Prospective bidders are proposing a variety
of technologies, including various forms of wet or dry digestion as well as gasification, he said.
Any residual material would likely be com-posted at a different site.
Metro already contracts with Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre in east Richmond to make compost out of part of the region’s organic waste.
The organics plant would serve not just Surrey but potentially nearby cities and com-mercial supermarkets and restaurants.
If the Surrey pilot project is a success, more Metro Vancouver biofuel plants could spring up around the region, helping the region meet its aim of eliminating all food waste and other organics from the waste stream and increasing the recycling rate to at least 70 per cent.
A significant amount of garbage going to landfills is organic waste, which festers and creates methane that can escape and add to climate change.
Surrey has agreed to sell Metro Vancouver the land for the biofuel plant.
But the property first must be rezoned from light industrial to heavy industrial, Costanzo said.
He said an open house to inform area resi-dents about the project is also being planned for Saturday, Nov. 6. (Details to be posted at www.surrey.ca.)
Surrey and other cities around the region are also moving to collect organic waste from all homes, following the lead of Port Coquitlam, which was the first to implement full organics pickup.

JOHN MORROW The Abbotsford News
Kevin MILLSAbbotsford News
Close your eyes and picture an elephant in your mind! Large, heavy, slowly moving forward. Now what kind of music compliments that image?
If you thought bass, you’d be right.The Carnival of the Animals is the latest concert
being presented by Abbotsford’s Calvin Dyck.It is a classic portrait of traditional zoo animals,
written by Saint-Saens in 1886, for two pianos and an orchestra.
However the Abbotsford version of the show will feature 14 local pianists, each pair taking a turn playing a movement. In addition to the original zoo animals, this carnival will feature some Canadian content including a moose, a loon, a skunk and – a lawyer.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun. Especially some of the Canadian animals. The loon is just the origi-
nally swan music, but upside down,” explained Dyck.
Known for his yearly musical variety shows called Songs, Strings and Steps, Dyck, a violinist, is no stranger to the Carnival of Animals.
“We’ve done it before, in 2002.”Dyck decided to bring it back for several reasons.“It appealed to me because of the variety. They
are all little, short movements. Each about two minutes long.”
That makes the carnival suitable for an evening show and a special school show.
“I want the piece to excite the kids and I like the idea of involving 14 people (pianists) from the com-munity.”
While the carnival show is shorter and less complex than his usually projects, Dyck still plans to incorporate more than just music.
There will be costumes, poetry and humour intermingled with the music.
The program also includes the classic story Ferdinand the Bull, the Brandenburg Concerto #3 featuring the Abbotsford Youth Orchestra.
Dyck is also working with Abbotsford Integrated School of the Arts and various students are providing poems, art and dance to enhance the performance.
“You won’t see 180 people on stage, but there will still be plenty to see.”
He said he enjoys involving the community in his shows, it allows people to take ownership of the project and, more practically, it keeps costs down.
“I can’t afford to hire all professional musicians. This way we still have high quality with low costs. We are still able to do shows like this because we have a lot of local support,” said Dyck.
The Carnival of the Animals takes place Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Abbey Arts Centre
Tickets are available at King’s Music (604-853-5996) or at the door.

UFV starts with comedyThe University of
The Fraser Valley Theatre depart-ment will kick-off its 2010/11 season with A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
The wild and crazy musical comedy that won a helmet full of Tony awards when it was first presented on the Broadway stage to rave reviews in 1962.
With music by Stephen Sondheim and book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart “Forum” dis-plays all the elements of a true farce: broad, physical comedy, stock comic charac-ters, puns, mistaken identities, and satiri-cal comments on so-cial class.
It tells the story of a Roman slave named Pseudolus and his at-tempts to win his free-dom by helping his young master woo the girl next door.
It is directed by Ian
Fenwick, the longtime faculty director.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum opens Friday, Nov. 12 in the theatre on the Chilliwack cam-
pus on Yale Rd. and runs Nov. 13, 18-20 and 25-27 at 7.30 p.m. with two reduced rate previews on Nov. 10 and 11 and matinees Tuesday, Nov. 16 and Wednesday, Nov. 24
at noon and Sunday,Nov. 21 and 28 at 2 p.m.Ticket prices rangebetween $10 to $20.

Remembering the BoysTen singers and dancers and a hot jazz combo
will present some of the best music from the war years at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium on Nov. 11-13.
The show is timely. This year marks the centenary of the Canadian Navy, and the 65th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day and the liberation of the Netherlands.
This revue features 35 songs that were popu-lar during the two world wars – songs that have maintained their popularity, not only because of the songs themselves, but also because of the memories attached to them.
They will include Over There, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, White Cliffs of Dover, We’ll Meet Again and many other favourites.
Video footage from the wars will also be included.
The show is a tribute to the men and women
of the armed forces who served their countries during the two World Wars, and to their fami-lies and friends.
It will also acknowledge the contributions of Canadians during many conflicts over the past 60 years.
“Remembering the Boys” is presented by Fraser Valley Stage, a non-profit community theatre group comprised of volunteer actors, singers, dancers and other assorted arts and crafts people who share a passion for live theatre.
Tickets are available at Prospera Credit Union (West Oaks location) The Reach, or online through the Fraser Valley Stage website at: www.fraservalleystage.com.
Tickets are $18 for adults and $15 for students and seniors.

Reach offers Vistas from the CPRThe Reach Gallery
Museum is presenting the new art exhibit Vistas: Artists on the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Organized and circu-lated by the Glenbow
Museum in Calgary and guest-curated by well-known Canadian art historian and curator Roger Boulet, Vistas features a body of artwork that was the first to reveal the
Canadian West as a majestic and awe-inspiring destination.
To mark the Vistas opening, CPR pre-sented The Reach with an archives legacy gift to celebrate the 125th
anniversary of the last spike.
“In honor of our connected history, we are donating unique items from our exten-sive collection of vintage memorabilia to a number of the museums and histori-cal societies that play a vital role in sharing Canada’s diverse his-tory and culture,“ said CP president and CEO Fred Green.
Images expressing the CPR’s vision of a sprawling new Canada are featured in Vistas. It offers 95 artworks and photographs from the permanent collec-tions of the Glenbow Museum, Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Brooklyn Museum, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Art Gallery of Alberta and from other public and pri-
vate collections in Canada and the U.S.
The exhibition has historic relevance to the region, as the devel-opment of Abbotsford was stimulated by the building of the CP line from Mission to Sumas, Wash. in 1891. Intersecting the only roadway through the valley, the Old Yale Road, the railway sta-tion at that crossing became the site for the
Village of Abbotsford.One visitor to Vistas
will get a chance toexperience the majes-tic Rockies first-hand.ViaRail has donated aprize of return trip fortwo from Vancouver toJasper (value $4,100).Entry forms for thedraw are availableat The Reach duringthe exhibition, whichruns until Jan. 9. Thewinning entry will bedrawn on Jan. 10.
Doug Hitchen hangs one of the paintings for the latest display at The Reach. The paintings date between 1870-1900, and the large one on the left is “The Three Sisters” by J. Hammond.

Zeon Gray was tempted by offers to play professionally in Europe this season, but decided in late August to return to the University of the Fraser Valley.JOHN VAN PUTTEN Abbotsford News
Point guard mulled pro offers, but returned to his Cascades family
Continued on A27
Dan KINVIGAbbotsford News
In conversation, Zeon Gray is apt to draw basket-ball-related analogies.
Attempting to explain what it was like growing up in South Central Los Angeles, an area notorious for its gang violence, the University of the Fraser Valley point guard leans on the game that has taken him far away from there.
“It’s like basketball,” he said. “You have to keep your head on a swivel, because you don’t know what’s around the corner.”
* * *That’s a skill all good
point guards have mas-
tered, and Gray is a good point guard.
When the 24-year-old blazes up the court, with some hapless opponent in his wake, he’s not staring at the ball. His eyes are up, surveying the scene, evalu-ating all his options.
That mentality nearly drew Gray away from UFV this past summer.
After earning Canada West first team all-star honours in his first season with the Cascades, Gray had two concrete offers to play professionally in Europe – one from a team in Hungary, another from Austria.
Gray wasn’t being offered
NBA dollars (or Euros) by any stretch of the imagi-nation, but it was still an opportunity to make a liv-ing playing the game he loved. And that was tan-talizing.
With the school year looming, Gray still wasn’t sure whether he’d be com-ing back to Abbotsford. His absence was conspicuous as the Cascades hit the hard-wood for mid-August ex-hibition games against NCAA foes San Diego and Idaho State.
Ultimately, the deci-
sion came down to money versus family. Yes, fam-ily. That’s how strongly he feels about his Cascades teammates, and the entire
UFV community.“I feel like in one year, UFV really
took me in and treated me like
their own,” Gray says. “I wasn’t ready to break that bond yet.”
* * *Family is a recurring
theme in the fascinating basketball journey that led Gray to Abbotsford.
He learned the game from his uncle, Sean McFarland,
who started him on drib-bling drills when he was six years old.
“He’d never let me shoot,” Gray recalled with a chuckle. “He’d just make me dribble – stare at a wall, stare at a tree, and just dribble.
“He always said I’d ap-preciate it some day, but I’d be so furious as a kid.”
Gray’s greatest asset is his competitiveness – an utter lack of fear. Gray says he got that from his mother, Renee Smith.
“She was a single par-ent, and I saw her struggle and constantly compete to survive, compete to stay alive,” he said. “She did
whatever it took. She wasthe epitome of hard work. Isaw her work multiple oddjobs and sacrifice.
“She told me, ‘Stay hun-gry. Don’t let anyone takeanything away from you.’And that’s like basketball.Either you get it done, orsomebody else will.”
* * *Gang activity in South
Central was brought to thecultural forefront in thelate ’80s and early ’90s byrap albums like N.W.A.’s“Straight Outta Compton”and movies like Boyz n theHood.
“We have our brightspots, but it is what it is,”

Cascades open Oct. 29Gray said. “It’s not a pretty place at all. I don’t want to glorify anything about it, but I learned a lot growing up where I grew up.”
* * *As a teen, Gray immersed himself in basket-
ball. Any time a game was on TV, be it NBA or NCAA, he’d tape it and watch it over and over again. It’s a habit he continues to this day. Tapes featuring New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul seem to get the most play.
“My collection of VHS tapes is in the hun-dreds,” he said. “I wanted to figure out what made guys so good. They weren’t born that way. So I watched to pick up whatever I could from them – body movements, body language, anything.”
After high school, Gray found his way up to Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, Wash., where he spent two seasons. It was there that he was spotted by UFV head coach Barnaby Craddock, who lured him fur-ther northward in 2009.
Gray’s first season with the Cascades was a hit. He led the team in points per game (15.9), assists (59), steals (35) and minutes per game (32.8).
His signature moment came on Jan. 30. On the road at Victoria’s McKinnon Gym, Gray led the Cascades all the way back from a 23-point halftime deficit, netting 16 of his game-high 23 points in the second half as UFV edged the Vikes 79-77.
Craddock said Gray “put the team on his shoulders.”
Gray called it “the best feeling in the world.“That was probably the best game of my life
– the intensity, the emotions running,” he said. “Nothing else mattered except us leaving that gym and taking the air with us.”
* * *The victory in Victoria sparked the Cascades to
a third-place finish in the tough Pacific Division, and they gave the eventual national champion Saskatchewan Huskies a run for their money in the first round of the playoffs.
Gray is eager to push the Cascades to greater heights this season, but he’ll have to make do with less help. Both of UFV’s starting post play-ers, Jasper Moedt and Kyle Grewal, will be side-lined all year after tearing knee ligaments.
Their absence places plenty of pressure on the likes of James Elliott and Josh Kufske to step up and give the Cascades a credible presence in the paint. It also ratchets up the pressure
on perimeter stars Gray, Sam Freeman and Joel Friesen. Craddock believes the talent-ed trio might be as good as any backcourt in the nation, and they’d better be – the Cascades really can’t afford an off night from them.
“Now they have to produce on a nightly basis,” Craddock acknowledged. “Maybe they don’t have to score each night,
but they have to play very solid basketball.”Gray says Grewal and Moedt “can’t be re-
placed,” but he’s not one to fret about their absence. It’s now or never for him this season – Europe is beckoning, and he’s planning to forgo his fifth and final year of eligibility.
“It’s going to be the perfect ending to my university years,” he predicted. “A big part of coming back was the chance to be a part of some-thing special.”
The Cascades women’s and men’s basketball teams open the Canada West regular season next weekend, Oct. 29-30, against the Manitoba Bisons. The women tip off at 6 p.m. on Friday, followed by the men at 8 p.m. Game times are 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday.

MEI Elementary wins XC title
Mennonite Educational Institute Middle School out-ran the competition at the Lafarge Grand Prix cross country series, winning the Jane Swan Award as top overall school.
MEI Middle edged three-time defending champion MEI Elementary to claim the top prize following four weeks of racing at Clearbrook Park. Abbotsford Christian Middle, South Poplar Elementary, and Abbotsford Christian Elementary rounded out the top five.
Six individual run-ners won all four of their races and ended with
perfect scores of 80 points: Parker Wakelyn (Grade 4 boys, unattached), Noah Nickel (Grade 5 boys, MEI Elementary), Gabrielle MacGregor (Grade 6 girls, Clayburn), Joshua Hildebrandt (MEI Middle, Grade 6 boys), Kyle Stuart (Grade 7 boys, Regent) and Callum Pilgrim (Grade 8 girls, Chief Dan George).
Other division champs included Jessica Kampman (Grade 4 girls, Abby Christian), Teagan Boughen (Grade 5 girls, MEI Elem.), Martina Stokes (Grade 7 girls, Abby Traditional) and Spencer Spenst (Grade 8 boys, unattached).
John Beckerleg of the Robert Bateman junior football team bursts through a crowd during Wednesday’s game against the Rick Hansen Hurricanes. The T-Wolves triumphed 36-0 behind a three-touchdown outing from Beckerleg. Ben Cummings added two TDs, while Gavin Rowell booted a 30-yard field goal.

2010 RANGER SPORT SUPER CAB 4X2
Heat smother Wolves
Dan KINVIGAbbotsford News
The Abbotsford Heat put to-gether a masterful defensive performance on Wednesday evening as they defeated the Chicago Wolves 3-0.
The Heat surrendered just 13 shots at Allstate Arena, and goalie Leland Irving turned all of them aside as Abbotsford improved to 3-2-0 on the sea-son.
“The lesson that comes out of the game is, we can make it hard on ourselves, or we can make it easy on ourselves,” Heat head coach Jim Playfair said. “We played hard, and we did a lot of things right. We took care of the puck, and Leland Irving didn’t have a very tough night.”
Jon Rheault opened the scor-ing at 11:58 of the first period, notching his first of the year on
a shot from the slot that slipped between the legs of Wolves goalie Edward Pasquale.
Cam Cunning made it 2-0 late in the second on a Heat power play, converting a feed from T.J. Brodie. Brodie, playing his first game with the Heat after being re-assigned by the Calgary Flames on Tuesday, notched his first career AHL point.
Matt Keith rounded out the scoring with Abbotsford’s sec-
ond power play goal of the eve-ning at the 16:21 mark of thethird period. The Heat domi-nated in the special teams de-partment, finishing 2-for-5 onthe power play while killingoff all three of Chicago’s manadvantage opportunities.
The next Heat home gamesare Monday and Tuesday, whenthe Rochester Admirals visitthe Abbotsford Entertainmentand Sports Centre.

We have heard “don’t sweat the small stuff”. I have learned not to stress. “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? . . . Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own. All of us are busy. We sometimes over-extend ourselves. This is not healthy. We take on too much. Yet, we forget that stress does not contribute to the length of our days. We need to enjoy life. We need to appreciate life and be thankful. We need to relax and rest. Rest allows us to re-ener-gize ourselves to appreciate the small things in life. People who worry are consumed with fear and fi nd it diffi cult to trust
anyone. Planning for tomorrow is time well spent; worrying about tomorrow is a waste of time.
We need to make this day count. My mamma died sud-denly. My friend took his life at age of 12. My sister passed away at age 58. I can go on and on. What matters most in life is that you appreciate and value yourself and others. Why wait till tomorrow when you can do something today. Why stress and be anxious?
I have seen much in 43 years and one thing that I do know is that time is moving on. My encouragement to you is to be at peace. Tomorrow may never come. We have today to stop and smell the roses.
