Survey: Majority feel safeVikki HOPESAbbotsford News

Results of a public safety survey released Tuesday said 93 per cent of respondents feel safe in the community during the day, but 39 per cent said their personal sense of safety in Abbotsford had worsened in the last five years.

The random survey was commissioned by the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) and conducted by the Centre for Public Safety and Criminal Justice Research at University of the Fraser Valley.

The 33-question survey was mailed in June to 1,132 Abbotsford residents, and 456 of them (40 per cent) were returned to researchers.

Const. Ian MacDonald said the questionnaire was distributed as part of the APD’s statistical approach to fighting crime. Knowing the num-bers can help identify areas of concern and suc-cess, he said.

MacDonald said the results show that respondents have the same concerns that the APD does about crime in the community.

The survey identified the most frequently noted prob-lems as drug trafficking (41 per cent), property crime (34 per cent) and traffic enforcement (30 per cent).

These are all areas local police had addressed as key concerns in their 2010 strategic plan.

MacDonald said traffic enforcement is currently a major issue, with the number of vehicle-related fatalities (13) more than double the total for all of last year, when there were six. Nine of this year’s deaths were pedestri-ans.

Police Chief Bob Rich said, at Tuesday’s monthly police board meeting, the survey is just a start in gauging issues in the community.

“It’s our first layer of the onion we need to peel,” he said.

Rich said he would like to see future polls keyed to specific segments of the population – for ex-ample, ethnic groups and seniors.

MacDonald said future surveys will likely be conducted, although not necessarily on an annual basis.

Other results of the survey: 93 per cent of respondents indicated overall

satisfaction with the APD; 13 per cent of respondents said they were vic-

tims of crime at least once in the previous 12 months; and

of those, 36 per cent did not report the crime to po-lice, with the most common reason (72 per cent) being that they felt police could not do anything about the incident.

Full survey results are posted to the APD website at abbypd.ca.

A new parcel tax will see 19 property owners pay for servicing of a proposed industrial park in Abbotsford.

The area in question, west of Clearbrook Road and north of King, inclusive of Foy Street, requires services such as water, sewer, drainage and roads.

The cost, estimated at close to $4 million, will be paid by the 19 property owners in the area, over a 20-year period.

The city, with the approval of the majority of the property owners, will levy a parcel tax on the lands.

“It’s a pretty unusual, inno-vative way to finance the services,” said Jay Teichroeb, general manager, economic development and planning ser-vices for the city.

The area, known as the City In the Country Plan (CICP) lands, con-sists of 43 hectares and is presently zoned for agricultural use.

In July of 2005, the Agricultural Land Commission conditionally exempted these lands allowing development, how-ever, nothing has been done for the past

five years due to the servicing needs.Teichroeb explained approximately

100 acres are eligible to be developed. While the rough estimate adds up to a tax of $40,000 an acre, Teichroeb said “it’s far more complex than that.”

The actual cost will depend on the individual properties, the size, loca-tion and service needs. The owners can also pay off the total at any time.

There is a positive side to the large tax levy. According to city manager Frank Pizzuto, agriculture land could

be valued anywhere between $50,000 to $100,000 an acre. Industrial land, with full services, is valued five to 10 times that amount.

In order for the city to enforce the parcel tax, permission was needed by

a majority of the 19 owners representing a majority of the land in question.

“It will become an indus-trial park,” said Abbotsford Mayor George Peary. “We don’t have a lot of industrial land and industrial land cre-ates jobs.”

He said the project is an opportunity to “diversify the tax rates” as industrial lands pay three times the tax of residential property,

Now that the parcel tax has been given approval, work will begin on designing the needed services. The area could carry up to a million square feet of new indus-

trial floor space, create between 2,000 and 2,500 new jobs and provide a boost to city coffers.

“It would create about $6 million in industrial taxation each year, helping to lessen the burden on residential taxpayers,” said Peary.

CURLINGCHAMPIONSHIPS

The 2012 Canadian Seniors Curling Championships are coming to Abbotsford. The event will be held March 11-26 at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre. The curling club will pay the city $15,000 to use the facility, however, it is estimated that $46,000 in revenue would have been collected if the ARC was running its usual programs in that time period. An additional $20,000 will be spent to remove, store and then replace the glass and boards around the ice rink to convert it for curling. Tourism Abbotsford estimates the direct positive economic impact of hosting the championship to be approximately $300,000.

CRASHCORRECTION

A story in the Tuesday, Oct. 19 edition of The News contained incorrect details about a car crash that killed Fraser Valley Toy Run founder Lenore Hopkins.The accident on Oct. 16 on Lougheed Highway in Mission was a three-car collision. Hopkins was a passenger in an eastbound car which was making a left turn when it was rear-ended by a pickup, sending the vehicle into the westbound lanes, where it was struck by a third car. An occupant in the third car also died. RCMP have not released his name.

City eyes YMCA recreation facilityKevin MILLS Abbotsford News

The YMCA could have a per-manent facility in Abbotsford by 2016, if a feasibility study indicates it would be a viable project.

As part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the YMCA, the city has agreed to pay $30,000, half the cost of the study.

If approved, the new building could cost in the neighborhood of $30 million, with the city responsible for half the cost.

That figure could change, depending on the results of the study and what amenities the city and YMCA agree upon.

“It’s a great opportunity to

get an additional recreational facility at 50 cents to the dol-lar,” said Coun. Lynne Harris.

“The emphasis they (YMCA) place on children and youth is equally important,” she added.

Community input will be sought in planning and operat-ing the facility.

Programs offered may include child-care, immigrant services and employ-ment training as well as rec-reational services including a swimming pool and possibly a gymnasium.

While council endorsed the

study and the MOU, there were some concerns raised that YMCA programs could conflict

with city initiatives and private enter-prise.

The YMCA is a charitable asso-ciation. It partners with communities to provide facili-ties and programs, including child care and employment services. In 2002, the Surrey YMCA

opened, with the city provid-ing $5.5 million (including the land). A community fund-raising campaign raised $6.8 million towards the project.

Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News

Ed Schellenberg would likely still be alive today if the justice system did not take an “anything but jail” approach to dealing with criminals, his brother-in-law told a crowd at-tending a town hall meeting Tuesday night in Abbotsford.

Steve Brown said two of the four peo-ple killed in the Surrey Six slayings had “shocking criminal histories” and should have been in jail. Instead, they were among the four that became the targets of an al-leged gang hit in which Schellenberg, 55, of Abbotsford was an innocent bystander, along with Chris Mohan, 22.

Police believe Schellenberg and Mohan were killed because they were potential witnesses.

Brown refers to the killings as “the Surrey four, plus two.” They occurred exactly three years ago yesterday – on Oct. 19, 2007 – at the Balmoral Tower apartment complex in Surrey.

Brown criticized a system that he said is more focused on rehabilitation than pun-ishment. He was joined in these sentiments by fellow speakers Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich and retired provincial court judge Wallace Craig.

“I’m convinced we’re the only jurisdiction in the world that has these prolific offenders out in the streets,” Brown said.

Craig said judges in the past were “no-nonsense,” but in the last 30 years they have shied away from tough sentences.

“That’s what they’re there for, and if they can’t cut it, they shouldn’t be there. They should go do civil cases,” he said.

Craig said “rampant plea bargaining” and “sweetheart deals” have ensured that jus-tice is not properly served for the victims of crime and that effective deterrents to crime do not exist.

Rich said contributing to the inefficien-cies is a complicated and fragmented sys-tem in which the federal government is in charge of the Criminal Code of Canada, while the provincial government is the ad-ministrator.

“When you add that all up, what you have is two masters .... We have put no one in charge of our criminal justice system,” he said.

Rich said the system is “falling down under its own weight,” resulting in unbear-ably long delays in cases getting to court and reaching a conclusion. Even a simple impaired charge takes an average of two days in court, he said.

When penalties are doled out, they are not enough of a deterrent to prevent future crimes, Rich said. He cited the example of a marijuana grow-op able to produce an an-nual gross income of between $500,000 and $1 million in an average-sized house.

A first-time offender arrested for such an operation would face a fine of between $1,500 and $2,000, he added.

He addressed Abbotsford’s gang issues and the challenge in trying to lure kids away from a lifestyle often portrayed as a “viable career option.”

Rich specifically referred to the Abbotsford Police’s latest challenge – the Duhre group, which he said now controls drugs in

Brown said he hopes the town hall meeting – held at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium – is the start of citizens taking more control of their

rights to a free and safe society.

He referred people to his Facebook page, “My Search for Justice.”

“I desire that the public take ownership and some solutions to this important issue that we can take to the next levels of govern-

ment,” he said.Several of the more

than 100 audience members said they were concerned about the lax justice system. Some were victims of crime themselves, while others sported T-shirts bearing the messages “Revolving

Affordable housing strategy

From A5

Kevin MILLSAbbotsford News

The need for more affordable housing in Abbotsford continues to grow.

First identified as a priority in the city’s Official Community Plan (OCP) in 2005, affordable hous-ing has increasingly become an issue of concern for municipalities across the province.

According to a staff report, 30 per cent of all Abbotsford households (12,840) spend more than 30 per cent of income on housing. And 12 per cent (5,300) of homes are in need of major repairs.

The report goes on to indicate that as homes get older and population increases, 123 affordable units would be needed each year, just to keep pace.

The focus of the strategy is to encourage part-nerships for developing affordable housing, pur-sue funding opportunities from senior levels of government, and explore policy options related to quality of live and the ability to pay for hous-ing.

Abbotsford Mayor George Peary said the Abbotsford Community Foundation has made

homelessness and affordable housing the focus of its fundraising campaign.

“We have a lot of people in this community giving generously to these kinds of initiatives,” said Peary.

Staff are hoping to complete a first draft of the Affordable Housing Strategy by winter 2011.

HOUSING AWARD:The city’s first foray into affordable housing,

the Harmony Flex Housing development on McKenzie Road, is going to receive a national award.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is presenting the city with the award for Innovative Approaches to Low Income Housing.

The city donated the land for the Harmony development, allowing units to be sold at a lower cost.

The 11 townhouses have suites that can be rented to generate revenue, and the accommoda-tion must be rented to seniors and/or people with disabilities, providing affordable housing for both owner and tenant.

A soft target for system abusers

Driving along a major suburban thor-oughfare on a recent sunny afternoon, I couldn’t help but notice a woman casually relieving herself on the grass between the sidewalk and the street.

The highly visible location seemed deliberately chosen, perhaps as a street person’s farewell to another golden summer in B.C.’s most peed-upon city.

This sort of fl agrant offence against decency would still have shock value in most B.C. communities, but here in Victoria the likeliest reaction would be, “Hey, you’re on the wrong street.”

The Pandora Avenue squat, as it came to be known, was this summer’s politi-cally correct theatre of the absurd, and as usual it was not rated for family viewing. A fi lthy little tent city sprang up on a broad downtown boulevard across from one of the local homeless handout services, migrating in from

local parks.Public peeing was among the milder

problems on Pandora. This was well illustrated by its sudden end in Septem-ber.

Victoria News reported that a core group of drug dealers were picked up in an undercover police buy-and-bust operation at the Pandora squat. Overnight the tent city vanished. A combination of cooler weather and the closure of the crack-and-meth bazaar seems to have done the trick, as camp-ers suddenly came to appreciate the vacant shelter beds up the street.

B.C.’s urban southwest offers a glimpse of the future for other commu-nities around the province in the aban-donment of community standards. And nobody surrenders quite like Victoria.

This is a town that wilts like lettuce before an invasion of feral bunny rab-bits. It’s a town that celebrates an urban design award for its downtown urinal, an expensive but oh-so-artistic response to the monsoon of doorway peeing that pours down after the bars close.

The city’s response to a court ruling limiting its ban on camping in parks was timid even by Victoria standards.

Hounded by the “homeless” and their “advocates” at every step, city council fi nally passed a bylaw declaring camp-sites on boulevards to be banned as a traffi c hazard.

By the time they got it done, the sum-mer squat had folded. Along the way it was revealed that at least some of the campers weren’t homeless, having had

“social” housing provided to them, and that shelter beds had also been sitting empty.

The shelter beds are signifi cant from a legal as well as a common-sense point of view. The court ruling had said the city couldn’t prevent people from put-ting up tents, but only if there were no shelter beds available. But apparently

verifying homelessness would have been too harsh.

A few weeks ago on a ferry crossing, I overheard a couple of fragrant young fellows, fresh from few weeks picking fruit in the Okanagan and looking for a comfortable place to ride out the winter.Victoria here they come. This has been going on for generations, and it appar-ently remains a path of choice for win-ter refugees all the way from Quebec.

Housing and Social Development Minister Rich Coleman was on CKNW radio program the other day, talking up B.C.’s efforts to get people off the street.He did allow that the southwestern cor-ner of the province does have a couple of different factors to consider.

“The big one is probably weather, so we do get some in-migration at times ofthe year because the weather is differ-ent in other areas of Canada,” Colemansaid, demonstrating his mastery of understatement.

Warm weather and weak local gov-ernment are a bad combination.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS - Thursday, October 21, 2010

Would a YMCA facility be feasible in Abbotsford? That’s the focus of an upcoming $60,000 study, of which city hall will pay half.

However, there are much larger questions to be asked, since if such a facility is built, council has also indi-cated a willingness to share half of what could be a $30-million price tag.

There is little doubt that Abbotsford could use more indoor recreational facilities, and the YMCA has a fi ne reputation of providing and running such operations, albeit sometimes in competition with private enterprise.

But can this city afford such a $15-million investment?

As one councillor has pointed out, it means gaining new recrecational facilities at half of what they would cost if the city goes it alone.

All fi ne and well, except Abbotsford taxpayers have been shouldering some major fi nancial commitments recently, and even bigger ones are looming.

The city is presently paying off an $80-million loan for the Plan A projects, one of which is a huge arena into which the city continues to shovel money – including a $2-million operat-ing defi cit in the fi rst year, along with hundreds of thousands in annual pay-ment to the resident hockey team.

Abbotsford and Mission must invest $200 million for a new water system in the next 10 to 15 years.

And there’s another huge project looming in a similar time frame. The two communities will be shelling out $250 million to upgrade the joint sew-age treatment plant.

Future development cost charges and utility fees will feed a good portion of those commitments, but capital reserves will also be needed.

Under those circumstances, is sign-ing on to a YMCA project for $15 mil-lion in the next fi ve years a good idea?

At this point, a few years of serious saving seems prudent.

Little complaint with pay parkingKevin MILLSAbbotsford News

It’s been a month since pay parking began on Gillis Avenue, College Drive and McKenzie Road in Abbotsford and so far only one com-plaint has been registered with the city.

All three streets are located by the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) and

the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. The pay parking was put into effect to pay for improvements made to the roads and generate revenue.

There are 240 stalls on Gillis Avenue, which cost $900,000 to widen. Students will pay $1 for two hours of parking, and on event nights the fee goes up to $5 for the evening.

McKenzie Road, which cost $200,000 for shoulder widening, has 84 stalls and students pay $1 for four hours. Event parking is $2.

College Drive has 47 stalls and students pay $1 for two hours, and event parking is $10.

All the stalls are numbered and pay park-ing machines are located along the roads and by the university and the sports centre.

The total number of city pay parking spots will increase to 567 stalls once the McCallum Park and Ride (196 stalls with free parking in

the daytime and $5 parking on event nights)is completed in November.

There are also 500 free street parking spotsavailable along McCallum Road, King RoadEast and King Road West.

In September, the city had a gross revenueof $10,300 for parking in the area. The park-ing is monitored by Impark, which willissue $15 tickets for illegal parking, be incharge of collecting the funds and give thecity 50 per cent of all fines collected.

Vehicles will be towed on the fourth violation.“For weekend events, we’re in pretty good

shape – great shape – for parking now,” saidAbbotsford Mayor George Peary.

But concerns were raised regarding week-day events at the sports centre causinga parking shortage for students attendingnight classes at UFV.

A hunt for drug traffickers by Surrey Mounties has led to arrests in Abbotsford and Vancouver.

Four people were arrested at two locations on Oct. 13.

In Abbotsford, members of the Surrey RCMP Drug Section seized nine ounces of cocaine and $10,000 in cash from a 36-year-old Vancouver man

and a 22-year-old Abbotsford man.

At a Vancouver location, Surrey officers seized five kilograms of cocaine and $145,00 in cash from two men, both from Surrey, one 26 years old, the other 43.

The street value of the drugs was estimated to be approxi-mately $400,000.

“We have no direct links toorganized crime right now,”Insp. Wade Lymburner, thesenior investigator of theSurrey RCMP Drug Sectiontold reporters at a Wednesdaypress briefing.

The four men have beenreleased from custody toappear in court in mid-Decem-ber, Lymburner said.

The Women with Cancer support group in Abbotsford is seeking sponsorship to assist with costs such as speakers, books, DVDs and adver-tising.

The group was notified in January that the Canadian Cancer Society was phasing out its peer support group programs due to financial constraints. It now requires about $1,500 a year to operate.

It is open to women who have undergone or are going through cancer treatment. Facilitator Edith Goodfellow said it provides a place to share

experiences and information, listen to speakers,and provide emotional support.

“This peer support group provides all memberswith the certainty they will be heard, completelyunderstood with compassion and provides aforum for freedom of expression,” she said.

Women with Cancer meets the third Thursdayof every month at the Real Canadian Superstore’scommunity room, 2855 Gladwin Rd., starting at 7p.m.

For more information or to inquire aboutsponsorship, call Edith at 604-504-0630.

Power up your business

The entrepre-neurial spirit makes the

Canadian economy go.

Our economy is driven by small and medium-sized busi-nesses which total 97.5 per cent of all Canadian companies and employ the majority of workers

across the country.In recognition of

the contributions and achievements of the country’s entrepre-neurs, the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) has been organizing Small Business Week in the third week of October for over 30 years. Events held

during the week bring entrepreneurs together at confer-ences, luncheons and trade fairs where they have the opportunity to learn, network and exchange informa-tion and ideas with their peers.

Last year, hundreds of activities across Canada attracted more than 10,000 businesspeople.

Small Business Week has become a must-attend event for Canadian entre-preneurs. Its origins date back to 1979 when BDC branches in British Columbia’sLower Fraser Valley pooled their resourc-es to organize small business manage-ment sessions duringone week which they labelled “Small Business Week.”

BDC branches in British Columbia repeated this success-ful experiment the following year, tri-pling the number of sessions presented to local businesses. In 1981, Small Business Week was officially launched nationwide by BDC.

In 1988, the Young Entrepreneur Awards (YEA) were created to highlight the success of young Canadian entrepreneurs and recognize their innovative spirit and business acumen. The YEA nomina-tion campaign will be launched during Small Business Week and will run until Nov. 30, 2010. More details on the YEA can be found at www.bdc.ca/yea

The SBW 2010 theme is Power Up Your Business. Invest. Innovate. Grow.

As the economy recovers, the time is ripe for entrepre-neurs to gear up to seize new opportuni-ties. They need to hone their com-petitive edge with dynamic plans and a renewed commitmentto meeting the needs of a rapidly changingmarketplace.

The theme reflects the opportunities and challenges fac-ing entrepreneurs as the economy builds steam. It’s a chance for a fresh start with bright ideas, charged-up operations, and a re-energized team eager to break into new markets here and abroad.

Dan KINVIGAbbotsford News

There’s still more than a week to go before the home opener for University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team, but Tessa Klassen is already feeling the pressure.

In a delicious scheduling quirk, the Manitoba Bisons travel to UFV for back-to-back games (Oct. 29-30) to open the Canada West regular season.

The deliciousness – and the pressure – stems from the fact that the Bisons’ roster features Kayla Klassen, Tessa’s fraternal twin sister. After a lifetime of shared experiences – dating back to the womb – they’ll be opponents for the first time on the Envision Athletic Centre hardwood.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun, but it’s also going to be a lot of pressure,” Tessa predicted with a chuckle during a break from practice on Tuesday. “It’s definitely going to be differ-ent. My whole life, I’ve played on the same team as my sister.

“And both my parents are flying out for the games, so the added pressure keeps coming.”

The Klassen twins, born and raised in Winnipeg, formed a successful basketball partnership. They played on provincial age-class teams together, and their Fort Richmond Collegiate high school squad made three con-secutive trips to the Manitoba 4A final four. Then it was on to the University of Manitoba for three seasons.

In 2009, Tessa’s boyfriend, a corrections of-ficer, accepted a job in Abbotsford. Spur of the moment, Tessa decided to follow him to the Fraser Valley. She attended classes at UFV last year and practiced with the Cascades as a redshirt.

Tessa was “torn” as she contemplated leav-ing the Bisons program, and Kayla, behind. But part of the lure of leaving was the oppor-tunity to strike off on her own.

“I’ve always had a life where I’ve been compared to my sister,” she explained. “Everything’s a competition when it comes to us, be it a board game, or basketball, or grades in school. We’re not always saying it, but it’s

Big win for ruggersDan KINVIGAbbotsford News

The Abbotsford Rugby Football Club scored a milestone victory on Saturday, at its elite men’s club knocked off Capilano 50-22 at Exhibition Park.

It marked the first time in the history of the Abbotsford club that they’d defeated Capilano at the elite level.

“You could see smiles every-where,” Abby head coach Jason Young said. “It was a huge deal.”

Konrad Rybkowski had a mon-ster game for Abbotsford, scor-ing three tries. Shea Bourquin (2), Aaron Flagg, Sam Evans and Lawrence Davies also found the end zone, while Chris

Gilding booted five converts.The victory is a nice build-

ing block for the ARFC elite men, who have moved up from the Coulter League to the elite Spray League this fall. The goal is to earn promotion to the CDI Premiership, the province’s top spring circuit.

The ARFC sent men’s teams to the Premiership in 2006 and 2007, but struggled mightily. Not to be deterred, the club is intent on developing the infra-structure to contend in the top league on an annual basis.

The ARFC men are coming off the most successful season in club history – the Div. 1 and Div. 2 squads both won provin-cial titles last spring, and com-

bined for a spotless 46-0 record. The player base is clearly de-

veloping, and Saturday’s victo-ry is a positive sign, but Young feels the club still has a ways to go.

Young said that in years past, some ARFC players got by on pure athleticism. That might work in Div. 1, but it doesn’t cut it in the Premiership. The core skills and fitness must be upgraded.

“It’s baby steps – it doesn’t happen overnight,” Young said. “It’s going to be a big process to build the culture here.

“But the club’s in a really good state. With the youth programs coming on, depth won’t be an issue in the future.”

y

Konrad Rykowski (with ball) scored three tries to pace the Abbotsford RugbyFootball Club’s elite men’s side to a 50-22 victory over Capilano on Saturday.


In exhibitionbasketball action,the University ofthe Fraser Valleymen crushed theLaurentian UniversityVoyageurs 89-61 atthe Envision AthleticCentre last Saturday.

Brodie boosts Heat blueline brigadeThe Abbotsford Heat

blueline got a big-time tal-ent injection on Tuesday, as T.J. Brodie was re-as-signed to the AHL club by the Calgary Flames.

Brodie was a train-ing camp sensation in Calgary, and cracked the

opening-night lineup after impressing the Flames brass with his mobility.

In the NHL preseason, the slick-skating 20-year-old defenceman led the team with four goals in five games (including three on the power play)

and was +2. His stats have been less impressive since the regular season started – he was pointless in three games, with a -3 rating.

Duane Sutter, the Flames’ director of play-er personnel, said giving Brodie plenty of ice time

at the AHL level will be be the best thing for his de-velopment at this point.

“Internally, we weren’t surprised he pushed for a position (with the Flames),” Sutter said. “We’d like him to eat up some big min-utes, and with our top four

(defencemen) in Calgary playing the way they are, we wouldn’t be able to ac-commodate him.”

Brodie was eligible to suit up for the Heat’s Wednesday night road game against the Chicago Wolves. That result was

unavailable at press time.For complete results, visitthe Heat Central page atabbynews.com.

Klassen one of Canada West’s elite scorersalways in the back of your mind – I’ve got to work harder, I’ve got to get better.

“I don’t know if it’s a twin thing – maybe it’s just a sibling thing,” she added.

“Moving away is kind of a way to branch out and meet new people – cut the cord a little bit, I guess you could say.”

Tessa Klassen, a 5’8” point guard, fig-ures to make an im-

mediate impact with the Cascades. In 2008-09, her final season at Manitoba, she fin-ished among Canada West’s top 10 in seven statistical categories, including fifth in scoring average (13.5),

fifth in assists per game (5.7) and third in three-point per-centage (.402).

Klassen is the fourth elite transfer that UFV head coach Al Tuchscherer has landed in recent

years, following Suzie Harriman (formerly of the Saskatchewan Huskies), Samantha Hill (TWU Spartans) and Jane Meadwell (Calgary Dinos).

The difference with the previous trio is, they were local products mak-ing a homecoming, whereas Klassen arrived at UFV out of the blue. Not that Tuchscherer’s com-plaining.

“There was defi-nitely a little bit of luck involved,” he noted with a smile. “Obviously we were pretty surprised. We’d played against her, and she actually had a triple double

against us. It was pretty exciting to hear she wanted to come our way.”

The Cascades are coming off a dif-ficult 2-16 season, but Klassen is one of a trio of key ad-ditions who offer hope for the future. Alexa McCarthy, UFV’s third-leading scorer in 2008-09, is healthy after shoulder surgery sidelined her for all of last season. Sarah Wierks, a rookie cen-tre out of Chilliwack Secondary, has dem-onstrated in the pre-season that she’ll be an impact player.

Klassen has also proven her worth

during exhibition play, most notably racking up 26 points and 13 rebounds against Texas Christian University in August.

“Those three ad-ditions are going to be really, really big for us this year,” Tuchscherer pre-dicted. “And everyoneelse has been super-dedicated to making themselves better basketball players in the off-season. You’re going to see an over-all group that’s big-ger, faster, stronger and more skilled. I think there’s reason to be optimistic aboutwhat’s happening thisyear.”

From A19

Heat winger J.D. Watt a two-game suspension.

Early in the third period of last Friday’s game against the Rockford IceHogs, Watt drilled Kyle Hagel into the boards in the Rockford zone, sparking a melee. Watt was not assessed a penalty for the hit itself, but the AHL rule book allows for supplementary discipline at the commissioner’s discretion.

According to a league spokesper-

son, Watt’s check wasn’t from be-hind, but it was deemed to be a hitwhere the principal point of contactwas the opposing player’s head.

After returning from season-ending knee surgery, Heat defence-man John Negrin has suffered an-other setback.

On Tuesday, Negrin underwenthis second knee surgery of 2010 inRochester, Minn. He’s expected tobe sidelined for three months.

“It was an extension of last year’sknee injury,” Sutter explained.

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:

By Online Form athttp://www.eao.gov.bc.ca By Mail:Teresa Morris Project Assessment Manager Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9V1 By Fax:

Fax: 250-387-2208

An electronic copy of the Application and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca. Copies of the Application are also available for viewing at these locations:

City of Abbotsford 32315 South Fraser Way Abbotsford, B.C. V2T 1W7 Clearbrook Library 32320 George Ferguson Way Abbotsford, B.C. V2T 6N4

Mohamed Jabbie is refining his resume for the umpteenth time – a lesson learned from the many career seminars he has attended.

He does it because he applies to sev-eral jobs each week.

Along with helping him make changes to his resume, employees at local resource centres have helped Jabbie with writing cover letters, interviewing skills and seeking poten-tial jobs.

For the past year, he has been un-employed and looking for work in Abbotsford, and he isn’t letting previ-ous difficulties hinder his pursuit for profit.

Jabbie, 27, grew up in Sierra Leone, a country in western Africa where

there are no resource facilities connecting indi-viduals to possible careers – therefore, many of the locals are simply jobless.

For the majority, computers are not within arm’s reach – men and women have to travel to local Internet cafes which charge user fees and are time-restricted.

Employers in Sierra Leone don’t require a resume, and the only jobs which need some type of written doc-uments are high-ranking government positions and banks. It’s a system that lacks structure, Jabbie says.

Jabbie sustained childhood disease, hunger, civil war and the death of his mother in a refugee camp.

He left Sierra Leone to get an education and a job.

“I went from a state of hopelessness to a state of

optimism.”In 2004, he moved to Winnipeg and

studied international development. Pupils were taught solutions to com-munity and global problems – issues Jabbie felt he knew well.

The summer of 2007, Jabbie ven-tured to Abbotsford to visit an old friend and work at a seasonal job – an occupation that lasted much longer than he expected,

He was laid off in 2009 due to a workplace injury, and since then Jabbie has not worked.

Most companies want individuals

to have a diploma, certificate or a de-gree – which Jabbie does not have – so finding a job in this economy can be a challenge, he said.

“It’s like climbing Mount Everest.” He visits local resource facili-

ties, such as Career Assistance and Resources for Employment (CARE) on a weekly basis, where there are mentors to give one-on-one advice, re-source books, and access to the web.

Although Jabbie looks like a stu-dent in casual jeans, a beige shirt and carrying a notebook, he can’t afford schooling. But once he has money flowing in, Jabbie will apply to an institution and hopefully pursue his dream job – to teach people about de-veloping countries.

WHAT’SOnTop5my

The Abbotsford Heat are embark-ing on their second season of fast-paced AHL hockey action. Manitoba Moose games are always a hot ticket – the Vancouver Canucks’ farm team comes to town Nov. 26 and 27.

This list of the top things to do in Abbotsford was chosen by Dan Kinvig from The News.

To promote your event, go to facebook.com/myabbynews, and we may publish it here.

Basketball season tips off in earnest on Oct. 29-30, when the Univer-sity of the Fraser Valley men’s and women’s hoops squads host their CIS regular season home openers against the Manitoba Bisons at the Envision Athletic Centre.

My favourite place to go for a hike is Cascades Falls Regional Park, lo-cated on Ridgeview Road northeast of Mission. From the parking lot, it’s a 15-minute walk to a viewing platform that overlooks a spectacu-lar 30-metre waterfall.

Mill Lake, located in the heart of Abbotsford, is a great place to spend an active afternoon. Take the two-kilometre walk around the lake, or take the kids to the play-ground at Centennial Park.

A trip to the Apple Barn, located at 333 Gladwin Road, is one of the rites of fall in Abbotsford. Try the apple cider.

WALK IN MY SHOES


An opossum sleeps under a towel rack on the right, while three birds – rarely found in these parts – make odd sounds in their individual kennels on the left. Ahead, an incubator warms a handful of day-old, wild bunnies.

Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center, run by Elizabeth Melnick, is home to a variety of animals, the species changing with the seasons. The non-profit organization takes hundreds of injured and orphaned wild birds – except birds of prey – and small mammals.

Melnick has spent the past quarter-century taking care of animals that are dropped off by people who have found them injured, sick or displaced.

The center, located on an acre of land beside Downes Bowl, is only feet from her house, and is the only facility of its kind from Hope to Langley.

Each animal taken in is assessed, treated, rehabilitated, and if fully recovered, released to its natural environment at the right time of year for easy reintegration.

“It’s very time-involved here,” says Melnick.She works up to 20 hours a day in the spring and summer,

answering approximately 70 to 80 calls from people with inqui-ries. In winter, the workload is a little lighter, but not by much.

Regardless of the season, her day involves administering in-travenous fluids and antibiotics, tube feeding, dressing wounds and changing bandages, and visiting the local veterinarian’s office for X-rays.

Thinking about an animal all night, working with it through its sickness or injuries, and seeing that it’s alive is what keeps her going.

Helping to save a tiny life is the best part of her job, says Melnick.“That just does something to you.”

It seems like, with just a snap of the fingers, fall weath-er has taken a firm hold.

Cooler days and frigid nights have set in, signifying a definitive end to the lazy days of summer. But it doesn’t mean shutting yourself away until the spring thaw.

The Fraser Valley is the perfect place to go exploring and take in fall’s beauty and the changing hues of the landscape.

Why not do it in style? Layer up in cozy wools and down-filled vests that are more lightweight than ever before but still trap the heat. Add a scarf here and a toque there, and you’re set to go.

For a classier, night-on-the-town look, try a faux-fur animal-print jacket belted at the waist. Pair it with clas-sic black trousers, and you’ll be toasty and tasteful at the same time.

Have you ever found yourself look-ing at your closet, full of sweaters and jeans, dresses and blouses, and getting overwhelmed by the feeling of having nothing to wear?

This far-too-familiar situation can be even more daunting for women who refrain from wearing certain styles and fabrics due to their dry skin.

A recent survey of more than 1,000 Canadian women aged 18 to 55 with dry or very dry skin (47 per cent of Canadian women fall within this group) showed that dry skin can

interfere with the process of getting dressed.

Half of women surveyed said they wear clothing to deliberately cover up dry skin at least some of the time, in-cluding wearing sweaters and pants, and more than a third of the women surveyed said dry skin has made wearing “skin baring” clothing less enjoyable.

It is recommended that women in this situation avoid showering in water that’s too hot and to moistur-ize with a non-greasy, extra-strength lotion.

The phrase “skin type” is used on a regular basis in the world of beauty. Knowing it helps you determine the skin care products you should be using and can also factor into the type of makeup products you use.

If skin type is something you have never determined for yourself or don’t know how to determine, I’ve got a few easy guidelines for you.

Prepare to give yourself a skin type test on a day where you are not in a hurry to go anywhere. Wash your face as usual and pat it dry. Don’t apply moisturizer yet. Leave your skin bare for approximately one hour and after that time, you will be able to notice any tightness to the skin. Take a tis-sue and press it separately to the fore-head, cheeks, nose and chin areas of your face.

If your skin feels tight and itchy all over after this “breathing” time, chances are you fall into a dry skin category.

Having dry skin may also mean that you have noticeable flaking on some or all parts of your face. Moisturizers designed for dry skin don’t have to

feel heavy or greasy on the face. You can get moisturizers in cream or gel textures, depending on what you pre-fer.

Ensure that you have applied enough moisturizer so that your skin feels somewhat tacky, but not greasy. And dry skin sufferers, be sure that you don’t skip your nightly applica-tion of moisturizer. This time period of rest and rejuvenation is crucial to your skin’s well being.

If the tissue you previously pressed onto your skin came off visibly oily in all areas of your face, you most likely fall into the oily skin category.

One of the biggest misconceptions about having oily skin is that you shouldn’t or don’t need to wear mois-turizer. That is absolutely not the

case and, sometimes, oily skin can be the result of your body’s attempt at providing moisture to dry skin that has occurred from frequent washing and scrubbing, combined with not enough moisture being replaced.

Using specific products, such as an oil-free or water-based moisturizer and weekly cleansing masks should help to get your skin back on track. If you feel that you can’t get the prob-lem under control on your own, con-sider consulting a clinical expert.

Those of you who find that a few areas of your face are dry and flaky and at the same time, other areas are oily, fall into the combination skin category.

This is often a difficult skin type to manage, as you may need to use dif-ferent cleansing or moisturizing prod-ucts for each area of your face.

After cleansing your face, you can use a toner on the oily areas of your skin. If you would like to use a mask during the week, you should consider a deep cleansing mask for the oily parts and a moisturizing mask for the dry parts.

If your skin is neither flaky and dry nor oily, you can consider yourself a lucky person who has normal skin. Your occasional blemishes are usually hormonal or stress-related, so only make rare appearances.

This skin type requires all the ele-ments of maintenance that the other types do, but requires age-appropriate products. A normal skin type for a 25-year-old will not be the same as what a 55-year-old requires, even if you both have the same normal skin type. Keep in mind that no matter your age, sun protection is a must.

The skin you’re in is in it for the long haul, so treat it right, be gentle and be aware of its changing needs. If you take the time now to prevent damage and sustain your healthy skin, you are far less likely to need a skin-tervention in the future.

B9Some tips now for

holiday glamour to come It’s not too early to plan hair and makeup

It’s not too early to start plan-ning for holiday glam.

Many women want to look dazzling during the holidays, but can be intimidated by the latest trends.

For holiday time, it’s all about bold beauty and big volume. This year’s “it” holiday hairdo is a twist on classic volume. Follow these six steps to get a 1960s-inspired teased crown look.

Step 1Wash and condition hair with

a high-volume shampoo and conditioner that help prepare the hair for maximum lift and bounce.

Step 2Apply a root lifter to the roots

of wet hair. This sets the stage for lasting volume by creating a “hooking” effect between fine hair fibres.

Step 3Blow-dry hair using a large

round brush to achieve volume by rolling hair in towards the head. Flip hair upside-down to help lift the roots and give a quick blast of cool air before flipping over to help set the style.

Step 4When hair is dry, in two-inch

sections, wrap hair in large Velcro rollers for added body.

Step 5Remove rollers and gently

tease hair at the crown to cre-ate extra height.

Step 6Place a thick black headband

at front and push back so it sits on the hairline to emphasize volume at the crown.

Now, it’s time for your make-up. Taking inspiration from tribal warriors and other pow-erful women, the smoldering eye look simmers with dark metallic shades and glossy

nude lips.To get the look, follow these

five steps:

Step 1Rim your eyes with a black

eyeliner. Use liquid or pencil – the choice is yours. Clean up any smudges with a cotton swab.

Step 2Cover the entire eye with a

smoky grey or silver shade. Make sure you blend well, so that no harsh lines can be seen. It’s also best to layer a bit of colour at a time until you get the coverage you de-sire.

Step 3Complete the eye with black

mascara, coating the top and bottom lashes with a lash-thick-ening and lengthening product. Today’s options leave lashes looking fuller, longer and more dramatic.

Step 4For the lips, dab some con-

cealer around your mouth to pale them out, and then add a lip colour in nude.

Step 5Finish the lips with a coat of

gloss in a clear glimmery shim-mer to add that extra-special holiday touch.

outstandingBetween Generations

Students honoured

For a child experiencing diffi culties at home, school or with friends, a weekly visit with a mentor can make a world of difference.

Thanks to an on-going partnership between Envision Financial and the Fraser Valley Big Brothers Big Sisters chapters, kids in Abbotsford are benefi ting from a mentoring program aimed at pairing the young with the young-at-heart.

Between Generations is a school-based mentoring program that matches children with senior mentors aged 55 and older. Each week, volun-teers spend an hour with a younger student at their school playing games, listening and providing overall companionship and support. Big Broth-ers Big Sisters mentoring coordinators and school staff are available to sup-port the volunteers and provide ideas to make each visit fun and engaging.

Research indicates that 90 per cent of

students who have access to in-school mentoring have improved relation-ships with their peers, 80 per cent enjoy enhanced self-esteem and 75 per cent show an improvement in their grades and school attendance.

“We’ve had children on the verge of not fi nishing Grade 2, and the only thing that kept them attached to school was the friendship with their mentor,” explains Shirley Wilson, execu-tive director of Big Brothers and Big Sisters Upper Fraser Valley.

Originally launched in Chilliwack, Hope and Agassiz, Between Generations was

expanded in 2010 to include Abbots-ford, Mission, Ridge Meadows and Lan-gley. Ten seniors are currently matched with children across the organization, but that number is expected to rise to 25 in the new year. For more informa-tion call 604-852-3331 or email [email protected].

Jim and Joyce Burkinshaw are in the mood to celebrate as they attend the annual Mardi Gras Masquerade fundraiser for Abbotsford’s Centre for Epilepsy and Seizure Education on Oct. 16. Final figures are not yet available but orga-nizers estimate the evening raised between $15,000 and $20,000.

MARDI GRAS


On Oct. 15, Coun. John Smith (left), Brian Lee, Mayor George Peary and MLA John van Dongen had the opportunity to try some apple pie during a contest held at Lee’s Fine Jewellery. The winner of the apple pie contest was Helen Nickel of Abbotsford. She received a Pandora bracelet while the remainder of the pies were donated to the Salvation Army.

HOW SWEET IT IS

Two Abbotsford students marked the start of the new school year with accolades as Coast Capital Savings handed out its annual Edu-cation Awards.

Abrianna Thomson received a Citizenship Award valued at $2,000 for her achievements in juggling school, personal activities and community involvement.

Sierra Hall, also of Abbotsford, took home a $5,000 Standing Tall Award for making a positive impact on her community in the face of personal challenge.

Thomson, who is studying at the University of Victoria, was recognized for her extensive community efforts including volunteering at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre visiting with patients each week.

With aspirations of becoming a pediatrician, much of Thomson’s spare time is spent volunteering with children and gaining valuable experience within medical facilities.

“This is a great way to start off a new school year, providing me with a jolt of confi dence and a little extra money to put towards my tuition,’ said Thompson.

“It is a great honour to be recognized by an organiza-tion that shares my passion and commitment for com-munity.”

This year Coast Capital Savings presented 48 schol-arships totalling $144,000 to deserving students from several communities across B.C. including the Fraser Valley, Victoria, Nanaimo, Surrey, Vancouver, Rich-mond, Coquitlam, Delta, Langley and Kelowna.
