Mavis Nielsen has been volunteering to staff the Salvation Army kettle at West Oaks Mall formany years, and likes interacting with people who stop to chat.

M avis Nielsen may be the picture ofjoviality dressed as Mrs. Claus inher long red and white robe and

a Santa hat that flashes the words “MerryChristmas,” but she’s all business when ring-ing her jingle bells.

The 73-year-old has been aSalvation Army Christmas ket-tle volunteer for a decade, andhas spent nine of those yearsat “her spot” at the entrance tothe West Oaks Mall on SouthFraser Way.

She works six days a weekfrom 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., excepton Thursdays when she startsat 1 p.m. because she volun-teers in the morning at herchurch.

“I’ve been doing this 10 yearsand I love it,” says Mavis.

“My husband passed away 11 years agoand I’m on my own. I don’t like to stay athome. I like to be where the people are. You’reconstantly talking so the time just flies.”

Most merchants and many donors knowher by name and stop to chat.

“People bring me coffees and somethingto eat,” says Mavis.

Shoppers of every age and backgroundcontribute to her kettle.

Mavis takes care to thank every single

donor, and wish him or her a Merry Christ-mas.

Most respond by thanking her for herwork.

She fascinates kids, and those who makedonations get a candy cane treat.

“They love the bells,” Mavis observes.Her kettle is the top earner each year, but

Mavis has no idea how much money shecollects.

“I don’t know and I don’t careas long as [the kettle] does well,”she says.

However, she’s noticed dona-tions are harder to come by thisyear.

Times are tough, there aren’tenough jobs and the unemploy-ment rate is high, says Mavis.

“People are hurting. You take alook at the food bank.”

The Salvation Army’s Christ-mas Kettle Campaign is the pri-

mary source of funding for the services theorganization provides year round at its Cen-tre of Hope.

The Sally Ann has set a fundraising goal of$475,000 this year in order to meet increasingdemand for its services such as the emergen-cy shelter, meal centre, transition programsand advocacy and outreach workers.

“They do good work. I’m behind them 100per cent,” says Nielsen.

“I do it because how do I know in years tocome, I might not need some help?”

House fires flarewreath’s red light

Apair of residential blazesspanning the weekend

has the Abbotsford Fireand Rescue Service seeingred instead of green on itsChristmas wreath.

The wreath is to mark anypreventable residential firesthroughout December, andsports 31 green lights rep-resenting the 31 days of themonth, with the goal being

to “keep the wreath green”for the entire month.

An overheated gang plugat a home in the 2800 blockof Allwood Street causedabout $300 in damage Fri-

day about 8:55 p.m. – andlit the wreath’s first redbulb, said fire preventionofficer Steve Oldroyd.

“I do it because how

do I know in years

to come, I might not

need some help?”

KEEPEROF THE KETTLENow 73, Mavis Nielsen’s jingling bells still fetch the most money for Abbotsford’s Salvation Armyfundraising drive. Exactly how much? “I don’t care,” she says, “as long as [the kettle] does well.”

Executive members of the Khalsa Diwan Society of the Gur Sikh Temple Mohinder Singh Gill (left) and Harkam Singh Gill (right)Gurdarshan Singh Sandhu and Bagi Brar (behind) are preparing to celebrate the gurdwara’s 100th anniversary.

ROCHELLE BAKER

[email protected]

This new year will be a particu-larly special one for Abbotsfordwhen its Sikh population and the

larger community unite to celebratethe 100-year anniversary of the GurSikh Temple located on South FraserWay.

Satwinder Bains, director of the UFVCentre for Indo-Canadian Studies,said the historic temple, or gurdwara,is a testament to the pride, vision and

community commitment of early Sikhimmigrants.

A designated national historicmonument, the temple was completedin 1911 by struggling pioneers.

The oldest, and longest standingbuilding of its kind in North America, itis the only gurdwara to have a nationalhistoric designation outside of Indiaand Pakistan.

“We’re so lucky it’s still here. Thelegacy of this rich heritage is on ourshoulders, but we are prepared tomaintain it,” Bains said.

To honour the anniversary thetemple’s Khalsa Diwan Society isorganizing one event a month for theentire year. The celebration’s kick-offtakes place at city hall on Jan. 10 witha proclamation by Mayor George Peary,and the unveiling of a historical exhibitabout the temple.

No longer on the front-lines, George still takes akeen interest in social jus-tice and has a strong desireto see improvement in theconditions of marginalizedpeople, particularly thosefrom aboriginal communi-ties.

As a result she has estab-lishing the Patsy and CrissyGeorge Bursary.

Her $10,000 endowment,also named to honour hersister, will be dispersed inamounts of $1,000 a yearfor 10 years.

“I want to continue tomake a difference in what-ever small way I can,” saidGeorge.

The Abbotsford PoliceDepartment working in

conjunction with BC Hous-ing has certified buildings inall areas of the department’sjurisdiction as “Crime FreeMulti-Housing” properties,a first for any city in BritishColumbia.

The initiative is significanton many levels, Const. IanMacDonald said, not theleast of which is the senseof safety and well-being ten-ants feel when living in asafe apartment building.

“Our objective is to makeAbbotsford the safest city inB.C., but how can you [dothat] when the communi-ties and complexes withinit aren’t safe?” MacDonaldasked.

Certifying these apartmentand townhouse complexesaffects hundreds of familiesthroughout the city, and hasa tremendous impact onhuman interaction.

MacDonald said Const.Pat Patterson is mainlyresponsible for the turnaround.

When Patterson took overthe portfolio two years ago,there were 20 housing unitsin the program with 11being fully certified.

Today, 83 housing unitsare in the program and 35are fully certified.

The numbers reflect atremendous achievementaccording to MacDonald.

“When you talk about thenumber of crime-free multi-housing [developments inAbbotsford] that’s an envi-ronmental change,” Mac-Donald said.

“It’s a change to [residents]lives, their safety and theirpersonal environment.”

Ab b o t s f o r d P o l i c eDepartment’s gangs u p p r e s s i o n u n i t

(GSU) has arrested four menwho betrayed and split fromthe Duhre Group, a gang thatrecently filled the void in thecity’s drug trade due to thedecline of the Red Scorpionsand UN Gang.

The arrests disrupted adrug supply line and iden-tified suspects in a violenthome invasion from earlyNovember, said Const. IanMacDonald.

Brothers Aaron and Mat-thew Somerville are chargedwith trafficking cocaine.

Matthew, 25, is facing fourcounts of trafficking whileAaron, 24, is charged withone count after the GSUgathered evidence againstthe suspects from late Octo-ber to early this month.

Two other men, MichaelLopeke, 22, and Jared Klade,23, were arrested followinga violent home invasion onNov. 3, allegedly sparkedby the need to secure cashto fund a drug line they’dsnatched from the DuhreGroup, said MacDonald.

B o t h m e n h a v e b e e n

charged with two counts ofrobbery with a firearm, breakand enter, unlawful confine-ment and assault with aweapon, and assault causingbodily harm.

“Word on the street, as itwere, was that an individu-al had some cash and theywent there looking for it,”said MacDonald.

“In the process [the sus-pects] brought firearms withthem, held people there andassaulted them.”

There were five to sixoccupants in the home inthe 33200 block of RobertsonAve. when the invasion tookplace.

Police were called after oneof the victims jumped out awindow and started yellingfor help.

A number of people in thehome were beaten and need-ed medical treatment, saidMacDonald. All four menare believed to be part of asplinter group of upwards of10 members who have leftthe Duhre Group, he said.

The group, named forbrothers Sandip, Balraj andPaul Duhre, moved into

Abbotsford in the spring of2010 to take over the tradeafter the Red Scorpions andthe UN gang were weakenedby police arrests.

MacDonald said the lack ofloyalty shown by the Duhre’snew recruits is not surpris-ing.

“Individuals wearing RedScorpion and UN colourswere prepared to switch loy-alties in a matter of days, sohow loyal are they going tobe to the Duhres if they seean opportunity?” asked Mac-Donald.

All four suspects are wellknown to police and havehad contact with law enforce-ment agencies outside ofAbbotsford.

The arrests demonstratethe effectiveness of thedepartment’s new gang sup-pression unit, said MacDon-ald.

“The fact we knew of thesplintering [of the DuhreGroup] while it was hap-pening is a testament to thework the GSU is doing . . .and we’ve taken these guysoff the streets. That’s prettysignificant.”

Agroup of Abbotsford residentstook it upon themselves to maketheir neighbourhood great with

some help from Community Futures.Capitalizing on solid relationships

within the 42-lot east Abbotsford sub-division of Falcon Ridge Estates, resi-dents banded together to implement aclean-up and renaming program.

The idea came about after severalresidents expressed dissatisfactionwith the way the development was left‘unfinished,’ said Kevin Koopman ofCommunity Futures, which works tofoster economically vibrant, sustain-able neighbourhoods.

“They canvassed the neighbourhood

for some support and donations . . .they really wanted to make it their ownneighbourhood, give it their own lookand feel,” Koopman said.

A large granite stone engraved withthe name “Ridgeview Estates” nowstands at the entrance to the subdivi-sion.

Some residents then formed alandscaping committee and plantedshrubs and other plants to enhancethe appearance of the sign.

Koopman said Community Futureshelped residents form the neigh-bourhood group along with ongoingsupport from Abbotsford ConnectedNeighbourhoods, which is funded bythe Crime Reduction Taskforce and theCity of Abbotsford.

The goal of the programs is to bringresidents together to reduce crime,Koopman said.

“There is definitely some crimeissues in the area, but that is second-ary to galvanizing them.”

Residents implemented “get to knowyour neighbour” events throughout

the year, including an end-of-sum-mer barbecue, a spring/fall clean-upand a Christmas open house. Koop-man said residents are currently in

the process of implementing a BlockWatch program.

“The City has been very supportivein helping them reach those goals andachievements,” Koopman said.

The two coalition partiesthat have run this provincefor more than 50 years are

New Democratic Party face seri-ous challenges when it comes toholding themselves together inorder to have a real shot at eitherkeeping power or gaining it.

The two parties are now in theprocess of changing leaders, asituation that can create bothpositive and negative scenariosfor political parties. It can be achance for renewal, but also athreat to walk down a path ofinternal destruction.

It must be remembered thatboth parties represent a coalitionof interests. The B.C. Liberalsinherited the Social Credit party’s“free enterprise” coalition, inwhich conservatives and liber-als put their differences aside toachieve a mutual goal: obtaining,and keeping, political power.

The NDP is a looser coalitionthat combines elements of clas-sic trade unionism, social activ-ism and socialism. The party haslong been known for infighting(see: Kwan vs. James) yet hasbeen able to maintain its statusas the number two party in theprovince, always close to gainingpower but rarely achieving thatgoal.

The extraordinary events ofthe past few weeks (where, inunprecedented fashion, bothparties took down their leadersat roughly the same time) sug-gest the leadership races them-

selves may have a bigger impacton the parties than during a nor-mal state of affairs.

Let’s examine the B.C. Liberalsfirst.

Of the leadership candidates,only one – Kevin Falcon – isstrongly identified on the con-servative side of the spectrum.The rest are aligned on the lib-eral side, most notably ChristyClark, who has strong ties to thefederal Liberal party.

Both Falcon and Clark areconsidered the front-runners, yetboth have the most potential ofbeing a divisive force. They areboth aggressive, brash politicianswho can turn people off as easilyas they attract them.

It’s hard to imagine the party’sright-wing elements workingunder a Clark leadership withany great enthusiasm. It’s almostequally difficult to imagine thetrue liberals embracing a Falconvictory.

Nevertheless, the free enter-prise coalition’s historic abilityto rally around a leader whocan deliver power cannot bediscounted. However, were Fal-con or Clark to become the nextpremier, the party would be fac-ing internal strains not felt since

the dying days of the old Socredregime (I’m discounting GordonWilson’s few years in power sincethe party never really becamethe free enterprise coalition untilGordon Campbell took over).

On the NDP side, emotionswill likely remain raw for sometime and it’s hard to see the riftthat now exists healing anytimesoon. Throw in the simmeringtensions between those whowant to push the party furtherto the left and those wanting itto be more appealing to main-stream, middle-of-the-road vot-ers, and it can be a toxic mess.

As well, various factions havebeen fighting over control ofthe party for decades and it willlikely continue .

I wrote in this space a fewweeks back that the time is ripefor some MLAs to become Inde-pendents or join together to cre-ate a new political party.

The challenge for the twoestablished coalitions is to keepthat from happening. If theleadership races create a lot ofinfighting, it may be like a dambreaking, with MLAs suddenlyleaving the parties that got themelected.

The political events of thepast six weeks have been crazyand unprecedented. But theseextraordinary times are by nomeans over just yet.

THE TIMES TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2010 ❘ LETTERS ❘ A9

Editor, the Times:It saddens me what hap-

pened to Mr. Herar (Wrongnumber – South Asiansturned away, Times, Dec.10). Being rejected becauseof race is offensive to me.

My daughter was engagedto an Argentinean andbecause she was not Span-ish they disowned their son,so I have experienced rac-ism, I wanted to strike back.

Since moving here fromOntario six years ago, mostof my friends are SouthAsian. My workout partneris an South Asian, I work fora South Asian, and my bestfriend is South Asian.

We have gone often to thetemple, listened to the ser-vice which I did not under-stand, but had explained tome. I was always made tofeel welcome and treatedwith respect.

To insinuate that youngSouth Asian in a groupcause trouble maybe weshould open our eyes to allthe gangs and see who iscausing the problems.

Many of the attitudesexhibited by the Christianchurch make it embarrass-ing to be associated withthem.

Sometimes safer toride on the sidewalk

Editor, the Times:Regarding Mr. Ambrose’s

letter (Bikes Are Too CloseFor Comfort, Times, Dec.10) which asks when willauthorities enforce keepingbikes off sidewalks and getthem onto the road. Per-sonally, I use both vehicleand bicycle, so I speakfrom an informed per-spective in my opinion.

My experience whiledriving and avoiding acyclist who is doing hisdarndest to stay out ofharms way has seldombeen one without a degreeof chagrin.

As an occasional cyclist,I know how hard it is tostay safe on Abbotsford’sstreets. Bicycle lanes arenot where people needthem. I’d rather see acyclist on a sidewalk,if there is one, than bethe cause of an accidentbecause of a rule.

In my opinion, if there’sa sidewalk and it is usedwith common sense, use itinstead of putting yourselfin danger. Drivers exist inthis town that don’t respectpedestrians, cyclists andother drivers just as thereare cyclists and pedestri-ans that use the sidewalkswithout any regard fortheir own safety as well asothers, let alone complyingto rules.

There are a few streets in

town than do accommo-date cyclists and vehiclesbut it’s only a matter oftime and these two modesof transportation will col-lide, literally. It won’t be amatter of “if” but “when”and all because of a rulethat has been enforcedbecause it’s a rule.

R. HiebertAbbotsford

Brother felt safercycling in Vancouver

Editor, the Times:I agree with Mr.

Ambrose that cyclists needto stay off the sidewalks.I think many cyclists usethe sidewalks becausethey do not feel safe ridingon the streets, with goodreason. Abbotsford is not abicycle-friendly city.

I consider myself anexperienced, year-roundcyclist; its my main modeof transport. I ride as oneshould; with traffic, withintwo feet of the curb, with ahelmet and running lightson all the time.

A bicycle is a vehicle,unfortunately somedrivers dont see it thatway. I’ve been cursed atmany times that I shouldget off the road or use thesidewalk.

This past summer mybrother (who lives andcycles in Vancouver),came out here to train fora charity ride.

After, he told me howunsafe he felt here. InVancouver there are manycyclists and therefore theyare given more attention

and regard from drivers. Iencourage all the sidewalkriders to ride as oneshould, we are entitledto a narrow strip ofpavement by the curb. Youwill get to where you needto faster because there areno obstructions such aspoles, trees, driveways andmost importantly, people,to which the sidewalkbelongs.

Dunach’s fine finalChristmas concert

Editor, the Times:Preparing for school

closure is an awful processand in the midst of it all,the Dunach communityis once again going toproduce a spectacularChristmas concert.

My wife, a Dunachteacher, comes home eachday, full of excitement forthe concert and saddenedby the realization thatthis is the last DunachChristmas concert.

She tells me that it is likewalking through a swamp– heavy and sad – but it is awalk that she is committedto because of the great loveand respect she has for thekids, parents and teachersat her school.

Dunach has chosen thetheme “Shine On” for itslast Christmas concert.This is truly an amazingcommunity – Dunachstudents and parentswill be singing at theAbbotsford hospital on

the same evening that theBoard of Education willhave all three readings toclose their school.

I know that the Boardbelieves that it had to closeDunach in order to savemoney. I just wish theycould see Mrs. JK as shesits in the Dunach gymat 11 p.m., after spendingthe evening working withparents, teachers, studentsand alumni, to put up thestaging, backdrop and500+ silver stars for theChristmas concert.

I wish they could see Mr.Izatt on the scaffoldingtying those stars to the gymrafters. I wish they couldsee Ms. Nowak and Mrs.Plank putting packing tapeon the kids silhouettes thatsurround the gym walls.

I wish they could seeMrs. VanEgmond comingback to school at 8:30p.m. to put up mini-lightsaround the back drop.Most of all, I wish theycould see my wife, asshe works alongside herDunach family to create aspectacular setting for theirstudents, her tears markingthe paper she is trying tocut.

I am very proud ofthis courageous schoolcommunity because I knowthey will do exactly whattheir concert theme says– they will “Shine On.”

The Dunach legacy willcontinue long after thedoors of the school arepermanently locked andbecause of this, Dunachwill never be closed.

The centennial celebration is an opportunity for the wholecommunity of Abbotsford to reflect.

“We’re really looking back, but also looking forward,” Bainssaid.

“If we don’t know where we came from, we won’t know wherewe are going.”

Sikhs first arrived in the area in 1905, working primarily onfarms and in the forest industry.

Sikh pioneers managed to purchase a one-acre property;then they, and other men who worked at the lumber mill onMill Lake carried timber, donated by the Trethewey family, ontheir backs from the lake up the hill to the temple site.

Mayor George Peary said he was looking forward to thecentennial.

“I think the city has to join in this celebration. [The gurdwara]is our only national historical monument and one of which wecan be extremely proud.”

The temple speaks to the perseverance of the early Sikhpioneers, he said.

“It was a huge undertaking to travel across the ocean, comeout by train and find accommodation in a strange land withstrange customs,” he said.

“Early immigrants, especially those whose skin was a differentcolour [had much to endure], but today their descendents area vibrant part of our community and economy and it’s hard toimage our city without them.”

Kabul Singh Hundal, president of the Khalsa Diwan Society,said the yearlong celebration has been in the works for a yearand a half.

In addition to the launch event, readers’, writers’ and filmfestivals are planned for the University of the Fraser Valleyand a historical exhibit is being organized at the Reach GalleryMuseum Abbotsford.

The Khalsa Diwan Society will also hold a three-day prayer,ending with a festival on the temple grounds the last weekendof August.

Hundal said Stephen Harper has been invited to attendthe August festivities and organizers want to apply for acommemorative stamp.

“We want the community at large to celebrate with us,” saidHundal, who said the event helps people worldwide to learnmore about the Sikh history and faith and how it contributesto society.

“The Sikh faith shows all people are equal and nobody is

THE TIMES TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2010 ❘ GARDENING ❘ A11

P eople who love plantsbut haven’t had timefor them all year often

begin bringing branches,wreaths and flowers into theirlives as Christmas approaches.

Celebrating Christmas withplants can start at the frontdoor with a winter containerof colourful, hardy greenery. Containerplants outside need to be one degree har-dier than your zone. Unfortunately zonevaries depending how near to the seayou are, whether you’re on a hill and howexposed you are to chilly winds.

But it’s hard to go wrong with winterheathers, which flower white or pink forlong periods, conifers with golden, blueor variegated foliage, wintergreen with itsbright red berries or the purples and pinksof heuchera.

Small-leaf ivy trails nicely down a potand is easier to control than the big-leafkinds. Grasses add a delicate touch andmany can look absolutely stunning, evenif a vicious winter has already killed them.

When freezing makes planting impos-sible, bright branches can be placed ata house entrance in a winter vase. Thisshould be heavy enough to resist wind, orstabilized inside by something heavy. Visi-tors can be greeted by evergreen boughs,contorted branches and perhaps spectac-ular white-painted branches. Gardenerswho are craft-inclined sometimes collect

and paint cut branchesor prunings.

Some garden centrescarry a range of coniferand other branches,including manufacturedbranches with red ber-ries that are almostinvariably artificial. Real

berries are gorgeous but tend to dropwhether inside (drying out) or outside(eaten by birds).

Wreaths can be made with all thesematerials. Gardeners can make their ownwreaths with willow branches bent whenthey’re pliable and/or prunings fromgrapes or other vines, but most peoplestart with a pre-formed base.

After weaving conifer branches or otherbackground items through the wreathspaces, it does help at each stage to tiethem in unobtrusively. But do avoid nylontwine because these knots always undothemselves – sometimes very fast.

Wreaths can be done with conifers aloneif you can find different coloured foli-age. But conifers are more often used as abackground. Many add-ons are possible.

These can include small branches withbright berries, variegated holly or bigcoloured bows. Cones can be also wired-in. The silver pods of the biennial lunaria(Money Plant) are so lovely in wreathsand other Christmas decorations, they’reworth growing for this purpose alone.

Christmas is also the time people buyseasonal plants for themselves or as gifts.Red poinsettias are hugely popular, butwhites, pinks, bi-coloureds, dark foliagekinds and many others are also available.

Poinsettias hate cold drafts, blasts ofheat and soggy soil. They like bright, indi-rect light and watering when they feel dry.African violets and kalanchoes have simi-lar hates and likes.

Apartment dwellers in rooms with peo-ple-friendly temperatures and no colderplaces do very well with poinsettias, Afri-can violets, kalanchoes or chrysanthe-mums. The most adaptable to a range of

conditions are chrysanthemums.People blessed with some cool areas

could make Christmas cactus and aza-leas happy. These also like bright, indirectlight. But both need frequent misting toincrease humidity. Azaleas like constantlymoist (not waterlogged) soil while Christ-mas cactus can dry out between water-ings.

But it’s not just people who have beenremembered with a street name, said Reid.Other places and events that have helpedcarve the history of Abbotsford also havestreets named after them.

“Just about anybody interested in localhistory would be into this book,” she said,adding that the people, places and eventsmentioned in the book are not just directlyrelated to Abbotsford, but to the entire FraserValley, including Mission and Chilliwack.

“As well, anybody new to Abbotsford or toanyone who wants to make themselves famil-iar with this town, this is a great buy.”

Alphabetically Abbotsford has been sellingat various locations across town since Dec.2, and given how close it is to Christmas, thisbook is the perfect gift for the history buff inthe family, said Reid.

“A lot of the [recent] sales have been to peo-ple buying Christmas gifts for other people,”she said.

In addition the Alphabetically Abbotsford,Tourism Abbotsford has set up a programwhere people can adopt a street in the cityfor $15.

“You get to adopt whatever street you want,”said Reid. “It doesn’t have to be the one youlive on, but maybe you have your family nameon the street.”

There is a minimum amount of traininginvolved for apartment managers and own-ers, and infrastructure upgrade/maintenancecosts involved, but it’s a small price to pay forthe boost in well-being within a housing com-munity that having crime-free certificationimbues, he said.

Getting rid of crime at a problem house injust one neighbourhood can cut down on thenumber of calls for police service significantly,MacDonald added.

Doing the same for dozens of apartmentcomplexes across a city can free up a tre-mendous amount of police resources since

just a handful of bad tenants can generatehundreds of calls for service.

“To have 35 [housing units] that are fullycertified, if you multiply 35 by – ballpark,a hundred residents at each – that’s a goodchunk of the city living in apartments andtownhouses that are safer as a result of beingcertified,” MacDonald said.

“And what does it do to the people livingin those complexes to see police cars parkedout every day?

“It’s pretty hard to have Grandma over fora Christmas party or have the grandkids overwhen there is constantly problems in yourbuilding.”

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Inspector Martin Sunderland with the fire wreath outside Hall #1, whichhad all green lights on Friday. Since the weekend, it now has two red lights, marking a pair ofresidential fires.

“Its very coincidental, and drives home ourfears that these things are little time bombsreally; you never know when they’re going togo into meltdown,” Oldroyd said.

“And in this case that’s exactly what hap-pened.”

Describing the plug as a standard, and aged,six-plug outlet without a built-in breaker, hereiterated the need for residents to check theiroutlets and upgrade old plugs.

“It simply overheated as a result of toomany things plugged into it,” he said.

“It didn’t have any type of built-in circuitprotection and [stores] do sell fuse powerbars, and that’s what we recommend.”

The second fire hit Monday and caused an

estimated $40,000 in damages after under-ground electrical service lines ignited andspread into a garage in the 28500 block ofHuntingdon Road about 3:15 a.m.

Oldroyd said while this type of fire is impos-sible to predict, it nonetheless contributed toanother red bulb on the wreath.

“It spread both back to the [street] pole andinto the [home] where the electrical panel is,and it ignited the combustibles such as wallsand framing,” he said.

“There’s nothing anybody could have reallydone to prevent that . . . we haven’t deter-mined exactly what the problem was.”

Aprolific offender in Abbotsford foundguilty of breaking and entering with

a knife, and who had 42 prior convic-tions, failed in his bid to appeal histhree-year sentence.

Ronald Corey Armstrong pleadedguilty in November 2009 to possessinga weapon, break and enter and theftfollowing a robbery in July of the sameyear.

High on cocaine and wielding a knife,Armstrong broke into an Abbotsfordresidence and stole jewelry and goodsfrom two separate suites on July 3.

The two homeowners came homeduring the theft to discover Armstronggoing through a closet.

Armstrong brandished his knife andescaped, but was later captured bypolice with the stolen items in his pos-session.

He was sentenced to three yearsbehind bars in addition to the 4 1/2

months he’d spent in custody beforetrial. When sentenced, Armstrong was40 years old and had at least 42 priorconvictions including one for man-slaughter, six for break and enter, fivefor possession of stolen property, fourassault charges, and seven convictionsfor breach.

His lawyer told the sentencing judgethere were no recent offences of a vio-lent nature.

Armstrong, a member of the First

Nations Seabird Island Band near Agas-siz, appealed his sentence stating thesentencing judge failed to considernotions of restorative justice for thoseof aboriginal status, and failed to giveenough weight to the principal of reha-bilitation.

B.C. Appeal Court Justice Christo-pher Hinkson noted that while a differ-ent approach to sentencing Aboriginaloffenders can be considered, it doesn’tpreclude a judge from focusing on theprincipal of deterrence if the crime isserious.

The trial judge did consider whetherArmstrong could be rehabilitated, butconsidering his long criminal histo-ry, substance abuse and his failure toattend programs in jail, it was unlikely,said Hinkson.

“Given his repeated failures at reha-bilitation, the sentencing judge wasquite entitled to reject Mr. Armstrong’sprospects of rehabilitation as unrealistic,and to thus impose a significant term ofimprisonment.”

Prolific offender denied appeal

“Given his repeated failures at

rehabilitation, the sentencing judge

was quite entitled to reject Mr.

Armstrong’s prospects of rehabili-

tation as unrealistic . . .”

Enjoy the holiday season.But please, plan ahead for asafe ride home.

• You can still enjoy holiday celebrations.Plan ahead for a safe ride home.

• Remember – a true designated driver issomeone who does not drink. Drinkingand driving starts with your first drink.Alcohol affects your judgment, reactiontime, coordination and visual function;your ability to steer, track moving objectsand brake; and your ability to control yourspeed and lane position.

• Make a smart choice: choose a designateddriver before going out, keep money asidefor transit or taxi, call a friend or stayovernight.

• Don’t get into a car with a driver who hasbeen drinking alcohol. Ask to get out of thecar if necessary.

• If you see an impaired driver, call 911 toreport it to your local police. Talk about theissue often with your family and friends.

The Province, police and ICBC launched theDecember CounterAttack campaign remindingdrivers to plan ahead for a safe ride home beforethey head out to celebrate over the holidays.

Through the month of December, CounterAttackroadchecks are on throughout the province topromote awareness about the need tocelebrate responsibly when drinking to ensureeveryone stays safe on BC’s roads.

According to police data (2005-2008), on averageeach year, approximately 133 lives are lost, and3,400 people are injured in approximately 5,600impaired-related collisions.

ICBC’s CounterAttack awareness campaign(TV ads and radio taglines) will run throughoutDecember in conjunction with police enforcementactivities.

Drivers are reminded of these safety tips:• No amount of coffee, cold showers or freshair will make you sober. The only cure istime. It takes about six hours for your body toeliminate all the alcohol if you have a bloodalcohol concentration reading of .08 (the legallimit).

Amy Gough confessed there wasa time shortly after the 2010Winter Olympics when shethought her career as a Cana-

dian skeleton athlete might be over.That’s how taxing last winter was for

the 33-year-old pride of Abbotsford,who competed in her first Olympicslast February.

A feud earlier in the season with team-mate Michelle Kelly, the personal andexternal expectations to win a medal onhome soil, and a seventh place finish atthe Whistler Sliding Centre despite lead-ing after the first run were just some ofthe things that took a toll on Gough.

“It was a definite ‘No’ after theseOlympics were done, I was just so tired,”Gough recently told the Times about herfuture in the sport.

“I was a little bit discouraged aftercoming home from Whistler. It is reallystressful. I think that’s why people gotso tired afterwards and really can’t eventhink about coming back in six months,”she said.

“You come from such an emotionalhigh to such an emotional drain.”

Gough decided the best thing to dowas to take some time away from thesport following the Olympics.

She visited some wineries in the Okan-agan with teammates after the skeletoncompetition ended and traveled to NewZealand later in the off-season.

Admittedly, the extended time awayfrom skeleton this summer briefly hin-dered her physical conditioning.

But at the same time, it helped reviveher passion for the sport almost instan-taneously upon her return to Calgary’sOlympic Park this fall.

Her newfound perspective helpedcapture a bronze medal at a World Cupskeleton event in Calgary on Dec. 2.

“When we got back on the ice in Cal-

gary I had really missed it and it wasreally great to get back sliding,” saidGough in between training regiments

from Salt Lake City, the site of the 2002Winter Games.

Stefan Meyer acknowledged two thingson Saturday night: the Abbotsford Heatdidn’t have their best game that night

against the Chicago Wolves, and there’s nosense dwelling on it.

The Heat were toppled by the Wolves 5-2at the Abbotsford Entertainment and SportsCentre Saturday night.

While not outplayed by the Wolves, the Heatmade more mistakes and paid for them. Theytook undisciplined penalties, left noted goalscorer Nigel Dawes all alone to the side ofLeland Irving while killing a penalty.

And Irving, starting in his 11th straightgame for the Heat, didn’t play poorly, but hewas beaten by Wolves goalie Peter Mannino,who received a game ejection after Friday forgoing after referee David Banfield followingKeith Seabrook’s overtime winner.

The loss ended a four-game home stand inwhich the Heat did collect six out of a possibleeight points to remain just three points backof the Hamilton Bulldogs for top spot in theNorth Division.

However, there’s no need to panic, saidMeyer, who scored a power play goal in Sat-urday’s loss.

“We’re just going to have to get it in every-body’s head that it’s a long season,” saidMeyer. “We’re in the hunt, things are OK, settledown and just don’t hold those sticks so tightand don’t force things.”

HEAT, from page A26

“We have good people inthis room and when you havegood people good things hap-pen, so we’ll be OK.”

Meyer wasn’t the only onesinging a positive tune Sat-urday.

It’s one loss, and given howair-tight the Heat were forthree-quarters of their four-game stint at home, Saturdayshouldn’t nearly be enough tosound the alarm.

T h e He a t a re g e t t i n ghealthier. Cam Cunning ison his way back from injuryand while they weren’t any-thing spectacular over theweekend, recently reassignedAHL veterans Meyer andRyan Stone can only add to ateam that is more on its wayup than it is down.

The Heat will take thatapproach into tonight’s roadgame against the Roches-ter Americans, the teamAbbotsford knocked off in the

opening round of the CalderCup playoffs last spring.

The Amerks sit at the bot-tom of the North Division,but just six points behindAbbotsford, which begins thistrip with a 6-6-0-2 record onthe road.

“We’re a pretty good roadteam,” said Heat rookie for-

ward Greg Nemisz.“We’ve got a pretty good

thing going right now, we’regetting guys back in the line-up and we’re excited to getback on the road.”

Puck drop tonight is at 4:05p.m. PST. They conclude theirroad trip Dec. 18 against theAdirondack Phantoms.

SKELETON, from page A25

“Having a third place in Calgary has reallyboosted the confidence back up and defi-nitely motivated me to know that I did makethe right decision in coming back.”

While the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia,are nothing but a glimmer of light on thehorizon, Gough’s recent bronze could be theplatform to another Olympic appearance forthe Abbotsford Senior Secondary grad.

Gough won’t commit to that just yet, how-ever, opting instead to decide her future on ayear-by-year basis.

“We’ll just have to see how it goes, I reallywant to wait to make any sort of decisionlike that,” said Gough, who now resides inCalgary.

But if Vancouver 2010 is to be her onlyOlympic appearance, Gough will foreverremember that 16-day emotional roller coast-er ride.

“People were having a great time and thatpart was really great to experience,” she said.

“The greatest moments were either standingon the start line and having all those peoplecheer or being able to walk into [B.C. PlaceStadium] during the Opening Ceremonies.That was really special.

“We were standing there two hours beforeand slowly getting closer and closer to thedoors to actually walk into the stadium.

“When you get closer, you can hear peoplecheering and clapping and when all of theCanadian athletes came out, the whole sta-dium just went into an uproar. I think I wasin shock at just how intense it was.

“I was just to so proud to be from here andto be Canadian.”

A30 ❘ SAFETY ❘ TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2010 THE TIMES

The holiday season should be a happytime; a chance to celebrate with fam-ily and friends. The Abbotsford Fire

Rescue Service offers the following safety tipsto keep your holiday safe:

Christmas tree Safety■When purchasing a ‘live’ tree, look for

the following signs of freshness. A fresh treeis green. Needles will be hard to pull frombranches when bent between your fingers.Fresh needles don’t break if bounced on theground, and a minimum of needles shouldfall off.

■ When placing your tree, make sure it is

kept away from sources of heat, like fireplacesor heat vents, and out of the way of traffic.■ Check out your lights before placing

them on the tree. Look for worn or frayedwires and broken bulbs. Make sure you donot overload extension cords. Remember toturn the tree lights off before leaving home orgoing to sleep.

Use Candles with Care■Take care when using candles. Place them

on a noncombustible base and keep themaway from other flammable decorations.Place them where they will not be knockedover, or can be reached by children. Neverleave lit candles unattended. Also, matches

and lighters are tools not toys! Store them uphigh where children can’t reach them.

Safety in the Kitchen■ Practice safety in the kitchen during

the festive season. Don’t leave cooking foodunattended – oil or fat can ignite. If you arefaced with a grease fire, remember to put alid on it and turn the heat source off! Alwaysturn pot handles to the back of the stovewhen cooking, to avoid pots being pulled orknocked over.

Heating your Home■ Have your chimney inspected and have

it cleaned if necessary before you start usingit. Always use a fire screen and burn onlymaterial appropriate for fireplaces. Burn onlywood – never burn paper or pine boughs ina fireplace as the burning particles can float

up your chimney and onto your roof or intoyour yard. Always remove ashes from yourfireplace and place in a metal container.

■ When heating your home with a portableheater, make sure to follow manufacturesinstructions for clearances to other combus-tibles. Ensure children or pets do not knockthe portable heater over, and that it has auto-matic shut off protection.

Outdoor Lights■ Use only extension cords rated for

outdoor use, and do not overload circuits.

■ Always check light strings and cords forfraying and damage. Do not leave lights onovernight or when going away.
