Arrests in bank robberies

Church celebrates 75 yearsOne of Abbotsford’s

oldest churches cel-ebrates its 75th anni-versary this weekend.

C l e a r b r o o k Mennonite Brethren Church, located at the corner of Clearbrook Road and Old Yale Road, hosts seven celebration events from Friday, Oct. 7 to Sunday, Oct. 9.

As many as 375 people are expected to attend the celebra-tion banquet, which takes place Friday at Columbia Place, 2940 Clearbrook Rd., start-ing at 6 p.m.

Events on Saturday are a men’s prayer breakfast at 8 a.m. and a celebration service at 7 p.m.

Activities on Sunday include a German worship service and adult Sunday school, both at 9:45 a.m.; a family worship ser-vice at 11 a.m.; and a celebration service at 7 p.m.

Each evening ser-vice includes a picto-rial presentation, tes-timonies from church pioneers, greetings from “daughter” churches and histori-cal reviews.

Clearbrook MB

Church was formed in 1936, when it was known as North Abbotsford MB

Church after a con-gregation holding Mennonite worship services at North

Poplar Hall decided to divide in two.

Early worship meet-ings were held in a

local home, and the church lot was pur-chased for $1 from the municipality of Matsqui.

Construction costs of the first building were estimated at $700. Each church member was asked to pay a $5 levy to help finance the expense.

The new sanctu-ary was dedicated in October 1940.

By the mid-’50s, the building was too small and a new church was constructed at an esti-mated cost of just over $71,000. The new build-ing was dedicated in April 1957, and some additions followed in later years.

The congrega-tion has helped to “birth” some daugh-ter churches over the years, includ-ing Aldergrove MB Church (now Ross Road Community Church), Lake Errock MB Church, and Bakerview MB Church.

Two suspects believed to be responsible for bank robberies in Abbotsford on Sept. 24 have been arrested.

Const. Ian MacDonald said the two men, ages 25 and 30, were arrested following a robbery in another jurisdiction – he wouldn’t say where – and now face charges related to more than 20 bank robberies in eight communities.

Their names have not yet been released.MacDonald said the two men have also been linked to a

robbery of a TD Canada Trust location over the summer in Abbotsford. Video surveillance obtained from the local crime scenes has helped connect the culprits with the incidents.

Simultaneous robberies took place Sept. 24 at about 2:10 p.m. at Coast Capital Savings and RBC Royal Bank in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way. Lone men entered each business and produced notes demanding cash. They did not have any weapons.

MacDonald said the men do not appear to be connected to

a spree of robberies that have occurred at other Abbotsford businesses. The most recent was on Saturday at about 2:30 a.m., when a lone male entered the Tim Hortons restaurant in the 2000 block of Whatcom Road.

MacDonald said the man was brandishing a knife and yelled that he was robbing the place. He then went to the cash register, while three of the four employees who were work-ing ran to the bathroom and locked the door. There were no customers in the store.

The man demanded that the fourth employee open the cash register for him when he couldn’t pry it open. He then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. He is described as Caucasian, 25 to 30 years old, six feet tall, with a thin build and wearing dark shorts, a green hoodie and white runners.

Other robberies that have occurred recently include three at Subway restaurants – on Sept. 4 and 6 at the location in the 2600 block of McMillan Road and on Sept. 21 in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way.

As well, the RBC Royal Bank in the 33700 block of South Fraser Way was robbed last Wednesday.

SCHOOL BUSMESSAGING

A proposal by the Abbotsford Police Department to post decals in school buses citing positive messages to students has the support of the board of education. Students would view the signs — with messages such as “Kindness is Cool” and “Be Nicer than Necessary” – as they enter or exit the buses.The plan is to launch the pro-gram this month and have a new message each month encourag-ing students to make positive choices. Based on ridership, it’s estimated the signs would have 1.5 million views over the year.

SPIKE BELTINCIDENT

A 31-year-old man is facing multiple criminal charges after Langley RCMP used a spike belt to end the pursuit of a stolen truck from Abbotsford. Around 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 21, officers spotted the Ford F350 at a gas station in the 8600 block of 200 Street. When police cars tried to prevent the truck from leav-ing, the driver refused to stop, hitting two cruisers before it jumped a curb, drove through a garden area knocking over a tree, then sped along a side-walk. The Ford headed south on 200 Street at a high rate of speed until officers lost sight of the vehicle. A short time later, another officer spotted the truck traveling south on 204 Street in the 6400 block. The pickup truck made a U-turn and accelerated to approximately 130 km/h.Minutes later, the F350 drove over a spike belt deployed by the RCMP. Despite the success-ful deployment of the spikes, the Ford managed to keep going until it struck a vehicle waiting at a traffic light at 200 Street and 82 Avenue. Then, the driver exited the vehicle with his hands in the air and was arrested.David Hindmarch, of no fixed address, has been charged with possession of stolen property over $5000, dangerous opera-tion of a motor vehicle, flight from a peace officer, failure to stop at an accident and driving while prohibited.

NewsBytesVarying P3 support

Kevin MILLSAbbotsford News

Sixty-two per cent of polled Abbotsford resi-dents agree with the con-cept of creating a public-private partnership to build a new water supply and treatment centre at Stave Lake, according to the findings of a $10,000 Angus Reid public opin-ion poll undertaken for the City of Abbotsford.

However, when the same respondents were asked again in two subsequent, reworded questions as to how they thought they would vote, support for a P3 project dropped to 45 and 47 per cent, respectively.

After an extensive explana-tory preamble, the first ques-tion asked respondents if they agreed or disagreed with deliv-ering a new water source as a public-private partnership.

Of the 62 per cent who agreed with the concept, 21 per cent strongly agreed while 41 per cent moderately agreed. Another 27 per cent did not agree, and 11 per cent weren’t sure.

A second related question asked those polled if they were willing to vote in favour or against entering a P3 partner-ship and borrowing up to $300 million over 25 years for a new Stave Lake water supply.

Only nine per cent said they were definitely in favour; 36 per cent answered probably in favour; while 13 per cent were probably against, and 18 per cent were defi-nitely against. Twenty-four per cent were not sure.

A third question, this time mentioning increas-es to water rates and watering restrictions, generated a similar com-bined response.

Asked how they would vote in terms of a pub-lic-private partnership, the combined total of definitely and probably in favour was 47 per cent, with 34 per cent either

definitely or probably against.“What we are trying to do

is see what message resonates with people,” explained Mario Canseco.

The vice-president of Angus Reid Public Opinion said responses in favour and against were slightly higher, when the second question regarding voting was asked.

Of those polled, 54 per cent of people age 55 and over were in favour, compared to 29 per cent against, while 47 per cent of people age 18-34 were in favour with 32 per cent against.

The 35-54 age group were the closest result with 41 per cent in favour compared to 40 per cent against.

City manager Frank Pizzuto said some of the questions

were “redundant,” but helped the city to establish where to target its marketing efforts.

He explained that the two vote-specific questions focused on different issues.

“One was about the money, the other was about the conse-quences if we don’t do this.

“It is our interpretation that people are less con-cerned about money and more concerned about

the availability of water,” said Pizzuto.

While the poll shows a slight lean towards P3, there is also significant indifference.

It found that 58 per cent of respondents were not closely following the issue.

“That’s the most surprising result,” said Abbotsford Mayor George Peary.

“We wanted to gather some baseline data on the P3 issue ... now we know what to work on.”

On Monday, the city launched a new informa-tion awareness campaign on the Stave Lake water project.

“We need to (a) make sure they know what’s at stake here and (b) answer their questions.”

The city created a new website, www.stave-lakeproject.ca, and will host five public meetings and two telephone town-hall sessions. Dates have yet to be announced.

The P3 proposal would see the city enter into a 25-year contract with a private business to build, partially finance and

operate a new water treatment facility. The city is hoping to secure $61 million in federal funding from PPP Canada, and would then borrow $230 mil-lion to pay for the remainder.

A referendum will be held on Nov. 19 to seek taxpayers’ permission for both the loan and the P3 contract.

Critics of the P3 proposal are concerned about allowing a private company to have any level of control in a natural resource. However, the city maintains the facility, the water and water rates will always remain in the public domain, with the private partner only fulfilling a contract to treat the water.

While poll respondents were divided over the P3 plan, there

was significant uncer-tainty about the outcome of such a project.

When asked, 75 per cent replied they were concerned the project will not be delivered on budget, and 62 per cent felt the process will be too secretive.

According to the poll, the biggest public con-cern (76 per cent) regard-ing Abbotsford’s current water situation is that rates will rise dramati-cally. Other concerns posed by the pollsters included increased water-ing restrictions (49 per cent were concerned) and that the city will run out of water (45 per cent con-cerned).

Abbotsford

The capital cost of the Stave Lake Water Supply and Treatment Project is beyond the City of Abbotsford’s capacity to develop alone. The funding opportunities and the cost savings associated with the P3 approach will make the project less expensive. Without the public-private partnership approach, in addition to water rate increases, the City of Abbotsford will also face increased watering restrictions and bans, along with higher tiered water rates.

Thinking about this, are you currently thinking of voting in favour or against the proposed public-private partnership?

‘I’m not afraid to do anything now’

Melissa WELSHContributor

The fall marks a new school year and a

new season. For Lisa Martin of

Mission, it’s the oppor-tunity to do things she never thought she could do.

Martin, 51, struggled with right frontal lobe epilepsy for more than 40 years, but this Aug. 17 marked the fifth year she has been seizure-free.

Following brain sur-gery in 2006 – two years after being officially diagnosed – Martin is now able to do things that would have previ-ously given her pause.

She just recently went camping with 400 Girl Guides.

“I spent a wonderful weekend out in 30 (kilo-metre) winds and some rain, having a blast,” Martin says with a smile.

Given a 99 per cent guarantee that remov-ing her right frontal lobe would stop the episodes, Martin made the hard decision to proceed. Before sur-gery, she was at risk of having 25 or more seizures a day – each one accompanied with searing stomach pain.

While Martin still gets the auras – brief moments resembling deja vu – she can go on with her day, no longer plagued with the pos-sibility of seizing.

As a child, experienc-ing the deja vu, Martin would yell to her mother, “I’ve done this before! I’ve done this before!”

Her mom would just stare in confusion, not knowing that her daughter was having a

seizure. And her condition

remained a mystery for many years. Martin didn’t have the typical symptoms of losing consciousness and body spasms that sug-gest epilepsy.

Her diagnosis was a chance of fate.Martin’s oldest daughter Krystal, 21, was born with bron-chial asthma.

One day, while at a specialist, Martin had a seizure. Sensing the dif-ference in her demean-or, the doctor asked the young mother about her condition.

Having a nephew who was officially diagnosed with the condition, the doctor was able to recognize the condition – right frontal lobe epilepsy.

Two years later, in 2004, Martin was told that she was a perfect

candidate for surgery. Although the proce-

dure left her seizure-free, Martin is still recuperating. The most significant side-effect has been a loss of memory.

In the months fol-lowing the operation, Martin would have no recollection of some-thing told to her just moments prior.

To this day, Martin’s family leaves notes on the stove, detailing their whereabouts.

Martin laughs and says she thinks she is now able to remember things nine times out of 10, but adds that her family might not agree, glancing at her 17-year-old daughter Laura.

It’s this positive, light-hearted attitude that has brought her through the ordeal.

And even though her

condition has come with many obstacles, she is still eager to inform others about epilepsy.

“A lot of people hide it, because they don’t want the kind of reac-tion they get,” Martin says.

She’s experienced that first-hand.Finding employment was often hard.

In one job interview, after mentioning her condition, the employ-er said she would not be hired because she had epilepsy.

Her story is only one of many she’s heard – mainly from fellow members of the Centre for Epilepsy and Seizure Education in Abbotsford.

Martin credits part of her success in finding a job to the staff at the centre, who are always more than willing to talk to prospective employers in order to deconstruct the stigma.

Growing up with her mom and now having a best friend with epi-lepsy, Laura says she has also encountered many misconceptions of the condition.

“People hear the word and they think the worst. But it doesn’t have to take over your life. You can work around it and still live life like everyone else.”

Martin hopes aware-ness about epilepsy grows.

“I’m not afraid to talk about it. The only way you are going to get it out there is to talk about it.”

The annual aware-ness day for epilepsy, Purple Day, is March 26. For more informa-tion, visit www.epi-lepsy.cc

The city has said water rates will rise by 10 per cent (between $35 and $45 per average home) each year for five years, and respon-dents were asked if that was justi-fied. Forty-five per cent answered it was, and 49 per cent said it was not. Six per cent were unsure.

The poll also found that 68 per cent of respondents felt that “things in Abbotsford are going in the right direction” while 19 per cent said the city is on the wrong track, while 13 per cent were unsure.

“That shows that people have a little bit of trust in this council, which is not common in many municipalities,” said Canseco.

One question that Canseco

said caused many concerns withrespondents regarded how theyvoted in the most recent provincialand federal elections.

“I received a lot of calls aboutthat.”

He explained those questions areoften asked during surveys regard-ing an election or political issue. Itis used, like age and gender ques-tions, to ensure the sample – inthis case 300 homes – is balancedand accurately represented.

The telephone survey took placefrom Aug. 8-14, among randomlyselected registered voters. Themargin of error is plus or minusfive per cent.

Dumb leaders attack smart meters

The annual Union of B.C. Municipali-ties convention spent quite a bit of time talking about new wireless technology.

Unfortunately, most of it was wasted on ignorance and fear, fanned by the NDP, Green Party and some like-minded opportunists in local government.

A tiny group of protesters gathered outside the Vancouver convention centre each morning, setting up a pile of picket signs wailing about imagined smart meter sins from privacy invasion to human rights violation.

One of them allowed that she was wearing “special clothing” to ward off the bad rays. That’s understandable, since BC Hydro calculates that a del-egate’s wireless signal exposure from four days at the UBCM convention is equivalent to standing next to a smart meter for 1,147 years. And that’s not even calculating those other horrible sources of electromagnetic energy bombarding

downtown Vancouver, such as traffi c lights, spark plugs, and let’s not forget the sun or Earth’s molten core.

It wasn’t all foolishness, however. I attended an economic develop-ment panel, at which physician and cabinet minister Margaret MacDiarmid described the continuing extension of rural cell phone and internet service underway since the extension of the B.C. government’s contract with Telus.

There was not a discouraging word about cell phone towers, the innovation that spawned the anti-wireless cult in California many years ago. Quite the contrary.

MacDiarmid was beseeched to get cell service to northern Vancouver Island and unserviced parts of the Interior, and to cut through the multi-ministry maze still required for routine approval of towers. Cell phones save lives on remote highways.

In the main hall, supposedly experi-enced municipal leaders continued to parrot fear of “microwaves” and such drivel, either because they believe it or because they are pandering to those who do. This continued on talk radio, which stoked the smart meter “controversy” all week, apparently because it reliably

generates angry calls.The descent into farce became com-

plete when delegates had a show of hands on a resolution to place a morato-rium on a smart meter installation pro-gram that BC Hydro has already paid for. The vote was too close to call, so they had

to fi sh out their wireless voting devices to vote about 55 per cent in favour of the moratorium.

Premier Christy Clark was asked after the convention if her government would contemplate a moratorium on meter installation. “No,” she replied. This is not surprising, since the motion effectively asks BC Hydro to waste $930 million.

“I’ve spent quite a bit of time talking with the experts about it,” Clark said. “I don’t share those health concerns, because when we’re surrounded by wire-less and cell phones, there are a lot of other sources of the problem that they’reconcerned about.”

I’ve argued with numerous people about this. They often start with an exag-gerated claim about the World Health Organization’s risk rating.

In fact, WHO acknowledges that peoplewho claim hypersensitivity to electro-magnetic signals can’t identify them in controlled studies.

WHO also notes that cell phone tower emissions are effectively fi ve times weaker than the FM radio and TV sig-nals to which we’ve all been exposed for decades. Cell base stations reach no morethan two per cent of international limits.And smart meter signals are much weaker than that.

I’m done arguing with people who makeup their own facts. I’ll just address those who haven’t bought into this nonsense. Please, survey your council candidates on smart meters, and on Nov. 19, support only those who have the common sense tounderstand what a smart grid is.

The shape of policing in B.C. is in much doubt, following revelations that the federal government and B.C. government are at odds over the next RCMP contract.

While the federal government appar-ently has set a Nov. 30 deadline for the province to sign a 20-year contract, Heritage Minister James Moore was downplaying that deadline last Friday.

Provincial Solicitor General Shirley Bond revealed the deadlock when she spoke to municipal offi cials at their annual convention last week.

Cooler heads need to prevail. The RCMP need B.C. just as much as B.C. needs the RCMP. There are 6,000 Mount-ies working here – the most of any Canadian province.

B.C. is right to insist on greater accountability for the RCMP. While a civilian oversight agency is being set up, the RCMP themselves must be more accountable to the province and local governments.

With the exception of cities such as Abbotsford, which have their own police forces, municipalities also have grave concerns about budget implica-tions. There is a good chance that the RCMP will become unionized, and that employee costs will rise sharply.

The federal government, which has the most tax authority in the country, should be willing to accept a one or two per cent annual cap on additional costs to be borne by the province and munici-palties, and absorb anything above that fi gure.

It has far more ability to absorb those costs than local governments, which are dependent on property tax. Such a clause would also prompt Ottawa to be much more rigourous in managing RCMP expenditures.

The two sides need to get back to the table and bargain in good faith. At the same time, the province and municipali-ties need to have a plan B fully in place.

Getting to the ‘truth’ behind farmed salmon

Better place for memorialThere was a story and picture in the Sept. 29

News, of a memorial tree to be placed in Mill Lake Park for the three female farm workers killed in a traffic accident four years ago.

Definitely, it’s a wonderful memorial, but it might cause a bit of a problem if placed in Mill Lake Park. Why? Because, maybe in the future the relatives of other casualties in traffic ac-

cidents, fires, earthquakes, drownings, etc., might want their loved ones remembered by something placed in Mill Lake Park.

So, because of that, I’m suggesting a much more suitable place to have that memorial tree – in the International Friendship Garden on George Ferguson Way.

Ernie Poignant

letters

At the Cohen Commission hearings, lawyers for BC, Canada and the fish farm industry were effective in diverting attention away from the truth, and this may compro-mise Justice Bruce Cohen in making final r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s based on the truth.

Well-respected Dr. Alexandra Morton, marine biologist, points out the truth:

Only the sockeye runs that closely passed by salmon farms col-lapsed.

The clinical condition and genomic evidence point to a mystery

sickness that began in chinook salmon farms on the Fraser sockeye route in the early 1990s, exactly when the sock-eye began to collapse.

When the Norwegian companies quietly removed the chinook farms mid-2007, the first sockeye genera-tion that went to sea since 1992 without being exposed to fish farms returned in his-toric numbers in 2010.

In 1988, the provin-cial government went to the Broughton Archipelago and asked the locals where they should not put salmon farms.

The government said they would not accept any applications for fin fish farms in these red zones. The truth is they put 14 open-net salmon farms exactly in those red zones.

The truth is that fish farms placed on wild salmon migra-tion routes pose real threats to the sur-vival of wild salmon because they create harmful sea lice ampli-fication, they attempt to prevent viral infec-tions of farmed fish with antibiotics, and control sea lice with chemicals. Viruses and bacteria are

extremely adaptable.The stronger these

enemies become, the stronger, more com-plicated and costly antibiotics need to be to eliminate them.

Business cannot con-tinue as usual. The weight of evidence is enough to justify removal of open-net farms, starting with the 14 fish farms in the red zones where the province said they would not accept any applications for fin fish farms. A c o - m a n a g e m e n t regime needs to be established to include First Nations people

along the Fraser River to govern the aquaculture industry

to protect aboriginal rights to harvest wild salmon we have

depended upon sincetime immemorial.

Vedder Mountain project opposedKevin MILLSAbbotsford News

A crowd of almost100 farmers and SumasPrairie residents cameto Abbotsford coun-cil on Monday nightto again voice theirobjections to a 31-lotsingle-family develop-ment being proposedon the northwest slopeof Vedder Mountain.

This is the secondtime in just over a yearthat a public hearinghas been held on thedevelopment.

Council is consider-ing a request for zoningchanges that wouldallow Hayes CreekValley Enterprises,owned by AnthonyPenner, to subdivide theproperties located inthe 41100 to 41300 blockof Old Yale Road.

“We, as farmers,should not have to gothrough this ordeal– now three times –again,” said Peter Rau.

He said the develop-ment will do harm tofarmers for genera-tions to come.

Most of the speak-ers’ concerns centredaround issues of drain-age, increased trafficand urban sprawl.

“This is not gooddevelopment, it’s notsmart development,”said Aird Flavelle, whobelieves it will cost toomuch to provide suchan isolated develop-ment with police andother services.

Jim van Dongen said“traffic is a seriousissue” and will affectthe local farms.

Perhaps the biggestconcern was runofffrom the developmentpossibly flooding thefarmlands below.

Peter Schouten owns800 acres in SumasPrairie and said hehas to test every ditcharound his propertyto ensure food-safetystandards.

“If one of them fails, Ican’t ship my product.”

The city will vote onthe project Nov. 7.

Abbotsford chiropractor Dr. Bruce Banman has declared his candidacy for mayor.

The long-time resident said he was convinced by friends to seek office.

“I was going to run for council, but I talked to my friends and col-

leagues and they said ‘Don’t run for council, run for mayor. We need the leadership,’” he said.

Banman said the city is “in need of a positive vision” and that “taxpayers are not a bottom-less pit.”

“We need to take a serious look

at what we are doing ... we forget about our youth. What are we leaving behind for them?”

Knowing that the P3 water project for Stave Lake will be an election issue, Banman said he isn’t ant-P3.

“I do think we have some time,

though, to make the right deci-sion. Having the Bevan Wells hasbought us some time to take acloser, careful look at the issue.”

Banman grew up in Chilliwackand went to school in Portland,Oregon. He moved to Abbotsfordin 1981.

Without more B.C. government funding, UFV won’t be able to increase its international student enrolment, part of the job creation plan unveiled by Premier Christy Clark last week.

“We’re very pleased the premier recognizes the value international students bring to B.C.,” UFV’s vice-president academic Eric Davis said.

But last year UFV’s total student population exceeded funding – less than 50 per cent of which comes from the government -– by four per cent.

And it’s been that way for more than a decade.

“We don’t have room to grow interna-tional student (numbers),” Davis said. “Our buildings and classrooms are full, we’ve run out of space.”

Ironically, it’s the tuition paid by inter-national students at UFV – more than twice that paid by domestic students – that opens up classroom spaces for local students.

Davis suggested UFV has a “very strong case” for more government funding because it serves “the fastest growing region” in B.C.

The physical capacity of B.C.’s universities to handle the 50 per cent increase in international students over the next four years is also a con-cern of the B.C. Research Universities’ Council.

B.C.’s current international student population of 94,000 – 850 of whom are enrolled at UFV – has led to the creation of 22,000 jobs and contributed $1.25 billion to the B.C. economy, according to a government news release.

Each 10 per cent increase in international

students equals 1,800 new jobs and a $100-millionboost to the provincial Gross Domestic Product.

Earlier this year, UFV president Mark Everedtold the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce thateach international student, most of whom attendclasses at the Abbotsford campus, spends about$40,000 a year – $13,000 on tuition and the rest onaccommodation, food, clothing, cars and familyvisits.

“Let’s be frank, these are not poor students,”he said.

Davis said UFV’s mandate is to serve localneeds first, so no domestic students aredisplaced by international students.

“They bring a huge kick to the econo-my,” he agreed, and enhance the learningexperience at UFV.

“We want our students to be global citi-zens,” he said. “If they don’t go abroad,we’ll bring the abroad to them.”

Many international students remain inB.C., he added, and start up their ownbusinesses, which creates jobs and boostsimmigration numbers needed as the

“boomer” generation retires.The premier’s “Canada Starts Here” job plan

focuses on B.C.’s proximity to expanding mar-kets in China and India, increasing capacity ofprovincial ports and decreasing the time it takesbusinesses wanting to invest in natural resourcedevelopment.

It also includes a $3-million boost to the $30-mil-lion small business venture capital tax credit toattract new investors, and extending a $31-millionapprenticeship tax credit program for anotherthree years to give employers more time to hireand train skilled workers.

No room at UFV for more international students

Sprott Shaw is the `real deal’! I am

grateful for my training through

Sprott Shaw Community College.

It has been two months since

graduating and I finally got my first

interview. I was super nervous but

realized I had the answers they were

looking for because of the education

I had received. I grew in confidence

with every question asked and

actually enjoyed the experience.

Now I am working casual at two

different facilities and loving it! The

staff at Sprott Shaw made my dreams

a reality and that is why they are

the real deal!

I am on my way:)

Thanks Sprott Shaw.

Sincerely,

Debbie Deyo

Restaurant 62 in Abbotsford has earned a “Best of Award of Excellence” from Wine Spectator magazine.

Eric Ferris, Restaurant 62 co-owner and sommelier, said this is the fifth conse-cutive year the restaurant has been recognized by the magazine for its outstanding wine menu.

“Wine Spectator is consi-dered the industry authority, so to be selected as one of the best restaurants in North America for our wine menu is truly an honour,” Ferris said.

The annual wine list award winners are chosen from thousands of entries and are selected by criteria that includes the variety, depth of vintage, number of regions represented, and attention to cuisine pairing.

The Abbotsford Heat Foundation Golf Classic 2011 was held on Sept. 29 at Ledgeview Golf and Country Club. With Heat coach Troy Ward coaching at the putting contest, and a Heat player or coach golfing with every four-some, the community got an ‘up close and personal’ Abbotsford Heat experience.

The 17th Annual Rotary Wine Festival paid dividends to local charities.

Matt Robinson, president of the Rotary Club of Abbotsford-Matsqui, and Judy Campbell, wine festival coordinator, announced the donation of the proceeds from this year’s festival, held May 28 at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre, to the Abbots-ford Restorative Justice and Advocacy Society (ARJAA) and the Abbotsford Campus of Care.

With this, the wine festival sustains a long-standing tradition of giving contributions to organizations which are making a positive dif-ference in our community.

Robinson presented a cheque in the amount of $6,000 to Tony DeWaal, executive director of the ARJAA.

A total of $9,000 will be presented to the Cam-pus of Care, divided among the partner organi-zations, Abbotsford Hospice Society: Matthew’s House and Canuck Place Children’s Hospice.

The Rotary Club of Abbotsford-Matsqui wishes to acknowledge generous major sponsors for this year’s event.

Neal Doan, wine festival coordinator, prom-ises next year’s event will continue a longstand-ing tradition of providing terrific wine and entertainment, with fi nancial benefi ts to our community.

For additional information about the Wine Festival and the Rotary Club of Abbotsford-Matsqui, see the website www.abbotsfordmats-quirotary.org.

A community barbecue was part of the celebration of the grand opening of the Barrowtown Elementary School preschool and a new greenhouse for the horticulture program during an evening at the school recently. MSA Ford and the PAC sponsored a fundraiser through Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program, which raised $2,000 for the school’s iPad2 station.

Great expecations for HeatDan KINVIGAbbotsford News

Last season, on an Abbotsford Heat team laden with rookies, Quintin Laing was considered a veritable Methuselah at the ripe old age of 31.

This season, the veteran forward finds himself as less of an outlier, both in terms of age and experience. The Heat are a more seasoned bunch – the product of the NHL parent Calgary Flames sign-ing a series of battle-tested AHLers over the summer, and the experience accrued by last year’s rookie crop.

“Last year, it seemed like I was on a little bit of an island with the age gap,” Laing noted with a chuckle on Tuesday, as his team prepared to hit the road for their first games of the regular season, Friday and Saturday against the Lake Erie Monsters.

“This year, there’s a lot more help sur-

rounding – a lot more veteran guys to swap ideas with. It is good to have a few more older guys to lean on.”

Hope springs eternal for every hockey team in the preseason, but the Heat have some legit reasons for optimism heading into the 2011-12 campaign. Chief among them is the fact the roster – the AHL’s youngest to start last season – has re-ceived the aforementioned injection of veterans.

After missing the Calder Cup playoffs last season, there’s every reason to be-lieve the Heat have the horses to return to the post-season.

Head coach Troy Ward echoed the op-timism, but cautioned that the talent level must be paired with a tireless work ethic.

“The players, in general, are really excited about what they can be,” Ward said. “And that excites me. I think they

feel like they have another year of matu-rity under them, and they’ve been joined by some parts where they feel like those guys are positive parts to the equation.

“But I do know that it takes a lot of work to be a good team. Right now, we’re trying to establish the work ethic that it takes for us to be a good team, night in and night out. I’m not interested in peaks. I’m not interested in Valleys. I’m interested in a consistent push through-out the year.”

FORWARDSScoring goals was like drawing blood

from a stone for the Heat last season, as they finished with a league-low 186 tallies.

That shouldn’t be the case this time around – the talent level up front has been upgraded, and Ward is installing an up-tempo system to goose the offence.

Newcomers Ben Walter and Paul Byrongive the Heat a terrific one-two punch atcentre. Last year, with Lake Erie, Walterwas the AHL’s ninth-leading scorer with23 goals and 40 assists in 70 games. Byronposted 26 goals and 27 assists in 67 con-tests with the Portland Pirates.

At Tuesday’s practice, the apparenttop two lines featured Walter betweensecond-year man Greg Nemisz (14goals, 19 assists in 68 games played) andDustin Sylvester, who led Freiburg ofthe German second division in scoringlast season. Byron was flanked by re-turnee Jon Rheault (12g, 22a, 79gp) andGuillaume Desbiens, a veteran powerforward who gave the Heat fits as a mem-ber of the Manitoba Moose the past twoseasons.

Laing centered Lance Bouma and StefanMeyer on a rugged checking line, while

Ravens win big


Upset win for ARFCDan KINVIGAbbotsford News

The Abbotsford Rugby Football Club’s elite men’s side is quickly coming of age.

That much was crys-tal clear in the wake of a 33-19 road vic-tory over previously undefeated Bayside at South Surrey Athletic Park on Saturday.

The locals raced out to a quick 19-0 lead and cruised from there, simultaneously boost-ing their chances in the hunt for a berth in the CDI Premiership in the spring.

The top two teams from the Lower Mainland Elite Spray League in the fall earn an automatic promotion, while No. 3 through No. 5 play off with the Velox Valhallians of Victoria for the final berth. At 3-1, Abbotsford is cur-rently in third place.

“The whole club has kind of turned over, and we have lots of talented, talented youth,” head coach Jason Young enthused. “For me as a coach, it’s exciting. They’re starting to mature, and they’ve really bought

into the systems.”The ARFC’s youth

movement on the men’s side has been taking shape over the past couple of sea-sons. While veterans like former Canadian international Ryan McWhinney are still making an impact, it’s the presence of the youngsters that char-acterize the elite men’s

squad.Nine players on

Young’s roster are 20 years old or younger, including baby-faced Patrick Shields. At 18, Shields is the team’s youngest player, but he already has eight tries in four games.

Kurtis Appeldoorn, who has represented Canada at age-class world championships

the past two years, and Lucas de Beer, a for-mer Yale Secondary standout who has made a comeback from a serious concussion, are among the horde of impactful youth on the Abby roster.

“We have lots of potential to score from anywhere,” Young noted. “I’ve been really happy with their per-formance.”

IN BRIEF: The Abbotsford

women’s squad, the defending provincial Div. 1 champs, beat the Brit Lions 32-19 on Saturday behind two tries from Meagan Chambers and two from Madi Blakeburn.

The other Abby men’s sides didn’t fare as well as the elite squad. The Div. 1 men fell 34-14 to Bayside, while the Div. 3 team lost 24-0 to Surrey.

The ARFC hosts its 35th annual Gobbler Tournament over the Thanksgiving weekend. The event will feature 12 men’s teams on and eight women’s teams from B.C., Alberta and Washington. Games begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Chris Gilding (right) and the Abbotsford Rugby Football Club elite men’s team is in the running for a Premiership berth.

Laing to wear ‘C’ on opening nightMitch Wahl skated with a rotating cast of wingers, includ-ing returnees Gaelan Patterson and Logan MacMillan, and rook-ie Ryan Howse, who racked up 51 goals as a member of the WHL’s Chilliwack Bruins last year.

DEFENCEPart of the solution

to the Heat’s offen-sive issues last season figure to come from the blueline brigade, which is loaded with offensive catalysts.

Sophomore pro T.J. Brodie was the Heat’s representative at the AHL all-star game last season, and his scoring numbers (5g, 29a, 68 gp) were all the more impressive in light of the Heat’s of-

fensive struggles.Incoming veterans

Clay Wilson, Brendan Mikkelson and Jordan Henry are also pro-ficient puckmovers – particularly Wilson, who was the AHL’s second-leading scorer among defencemen two seasons ago (14g, 46a, 75gp).

Returnees Chris Breen and Joe Piskula are solid defensive-

minded players, while John Negrin seeks to get back on track after two injury-rid-dled seasons. James Martin, the lone rook-ie of the group, landed a contract after a suc-cessful training camp tryout.

GOALThe Heat have a

proven veteran to carry the load in

Leland Irving, who earned team MVP honours last season.

After enduring an ECHL stint during a difficult 2009-10 cam-paign, Irving bounced back in a big way, racking up an AHL-best eight shutouts to go with a 2.30 goals against average and a .913 save percentage.

“The word that sums up his year, for

me, is he was consis-tent,” Ward said, con-firming Irving willstart Friday’s season-opener.

Backing up Irvingare Joni Ortio andDavid Brown. Ortiowas Team Finland’sstarting goalie at thepast two World JuniorChampionships, andhe’s had an up-and-down preseason ashe makes the adjust-ment to the NorthAmerican game.

Brown is on a two-way AHL/ECHL con-tract, and Ward saidhe essentially fillsthe No. 3 role that J.P.Lamoureux handledlast season.

IN BRIEF: Forwards Carter

Bancks and KrysKolanos are current-ly sidelined due toinjury. Ward did notspecify what thoseparticular injurieswere, other than tosay they didn’t ap-pear to be long-termissues.

Kolanos is on a try-out with the Heatafter after missing aseason and a half dueto microfracture hipsurgery.

“It has nothing to dowith his hip,” Wardsaid. “A lot of it, Ithink, has to do withjust getting his bodyback to game-ready.He’s in great shape .. . He just has a littletweak, and we’re justbeing precautionary.

“At the same time,it’s kind of out ofmy control what they(the Flames) wantto do with him. I’mnot sure where hestands in the wholepicture.”

Laing will re-prise his role as Heatcaptain, at least foropening weekend.Ward said Laing willwear the ‘C’ at LakeErie, with Piskulaand Meyer servingas assistants. Nextweek, the players andcoaches will vote onpermanent captains.

“I don’t think it’sfair to put it on a newguy, because it stipu-lates that maybe he’sthe guy,” Ward said.“We’ve got enoughguys that can wearthose letters rightnow.”

“Any time you get towear the C, it’s a hugehonour and it’s a bigresponsibility,” Laingsaid. “I take a lot ofpride in the fact I getto wear that.”
