Abbotsford residents whowant to keep urban back-

yard chickens are crying ‘fowl’after the city justified ban-ning the birds by raising thespectre of the avian flu.

Leslie Stettler and TanyaBuskell have been pressingAbbotsford to introduce apilot project allowing resi-dents to raise small flocks inresidential gardens.

But council, with the excep-tion of Coun. Bill MacGregor,voted down the idea of a newbylaw on Monday, saying therisk of avian flu is too greatto Abbotsford’s large featherindustry.

However, the chickenenthusiasts and a poultryexpert argue backyard flocksdon’t increase the risk of the

virus to commercial egg andmeat producers.

Coun. Patricia Ross refer-enced the avian flu epidemicin the Fraser Valley in 2004when approximately 17 mil-lion birds had to be culled.

“It’s too big a risk,” saidRoss.

However, Stettler and Bus-kell say that there’s no evi-dence to suggest that a smallnumber of birds in an urbanlot increases the risk of avianflu to commercial producerslocated on farms in the agri-cultural land reserve (ALR).

What’s more, residents onsmall farms within the ALRare allowed to keep chickensand they are often locatedright next to large commer-cial producers, said Stettler.

I t was only as the plane descendedtowards the runway for its emer-gency landing at the Abbotsford

Airport that pilot Ryan Curr’s stomachsank.

Curr, 31, was forced to make a dra-matic belly landing on Friday at 4 p.m.after his Piper aircraft’s landing gearsystem failed to deploy.

The Langley man, who has 11 yearsof experience as a recreational pilot,had been flying circles for an hourduring a flight from Pitt Meadows toChilliwack trying to troubleshoot theproblem and dislodge the jammedwheels.

Curr realized he was out of options

when the emergency release system,used as a last resort, failed to jettisonthe wheels.

“I called the Abbotsford tower andspoke with the controller,” said Curr.

An A b b o t s f o r d m a ncharged with steering a

depressed woman to attemptsuicide has pleaded guiltyand is scheduled for sentenc-ing in December.

Kenneth William Carr, 54,formerly convicted of man-slaughter in the death of ateenage girl, pleaded guiltyto aiding a person to commitsuicide in Abbotsford provin-cial court Tuesday.

Carr was charged in Sep-tember 2012 after a womanwith a history of depressionattended the Abbotsfordpolice station with ligaturemarks around her neck andtold officers an acquaintancehad given her advice on howto commit suicide.

According to informationfiled in court to obtain asearch warrant, the 48-year-old victim said Carr, whomshe’d met a few days earlier,invited her to his home towatch movies on Sept. 24.

She confided to him thatshe couldn’t cope anymoreand felt she was a burden toher family.

At that point, Carr allegedlytold the woman he knew alot about suicide and couldhelp her.

Carr had the woman pre-pare a suicide note, took thevictim to the basement, tieda gold-coloured rope arounda rafter, had her stand on achair and placed the ropearound her neck. Carr alleg-edly also gave the womansome white pills to swallowand planned to push her offthe chair. The next morningthe woman woke up in Carr’sresidence with marks fromthe rope around her neck.

As Carr drove the victimhome, he told her she’d toldhim to stop when he attempt-ed to hang her.

For six of the nine days that theCops for Cancer cyclists rolledthrough the Fraser Valley and

beyond, it was pouring rain; at timesso heavy the riders could barely see thefront wheel of their bicycles.

But even that didn’t dampen the spir-its of Abbotsford police officers Det.Craig Burridge and constables TrevorSales and Daryl Young, who rode withother officers in the 850-kilometre Tourde Valley from Sept. 26 to Oct. 4.

“I will be doing this again, there’s noquestion,” said Burridge.

“The weather was definitely a factor,”he said, adding that there were timeshe couldn’t see a thing. “The rain wasso intense, it was just a wall that wewere riding into.”

After kicking off the campaign inAldergrove under blue skies on Sept.26, the determined group of 22 cyclistsdidn’t see the sun again until they rolledinto Abbotsford on Oct. 3.

“I think Trevor [Sales] said it [best];‘Think about this, it’s difficult for us, it’scold, it’s wet. But this is one day. Think

about the kids who day after day aregoing in for testing or are in hospital.’

“When you put it like that, it reallywasn’t much of a hardship for us,”added Burridge.

Their journey ended in the sunshineto an enthusiastic crowd at Abby SeniorSecondary School on Oct. 4.

“I’ve got two young children; fortu-nately they are healthy,” said Burridge.“We need to do whatever we can toeradicate [cancer], especially withkids. Being on tour just reinforced thatas well.”

The first-time rider described his ‘getit moment’ when he met a five-year-old cancer victim.

“[She was] wearing the exact sameshoes that my daughter has. To me,that was my moment. That’s why I amhere. That could just as well been mydaughter.”

Over the nine-day journey, thecyclists averaged about 100 kilometresper day and rode from Surrey to BostonBar and back to Abbotsford, makingstops at schools, businesses and com-munity partners along the way.

A memorable moment for Bur-ridge was on the last day, as the grouptravelled down Whatcom Road inAbbotsford to Vye Road for a stop atUpper Sumas Elementary.

“[From up the road] you could hearthe kids screaming from inside thegym. It was like ‘Wow, this is amazing,’the level of excitement with these kids.One of our junior team members wasin there as well. It was really special.”

Unique to all Cops for Cancer ridesare the junior riders they meet alongthe journey, kids who are still battlingor who have conquered cancer, he said.And the many parents and regular folkswho “reach out to us saying ‘thank youso much.’ It’s incredible to realize justhow many people have been affectedby cancer.”

■ As of Oct. 7, the Cops for Cancer Tourde Valley has raised more than $300,000towards its goal of $450,000.

“At least in the city with a pilotprogram, the chickens could beregistered and the city would knowwhere they are and test them incase of an outbreak,” she said.

Dr. Bill Cox, a poultry veterinar-ian with the Animal Health Branchof the Ministry of Agriculture inAbbotsford, said that small back-yard flocks don’t pose much of arisk to large commercial opera-tions.

“Generally speaking, the twotypes of flocks live in differentuniverses,” said Cox.

All chickens are equally suscep-tible to contracting the disease,which is transmitted from thewaste of wild waterfowl, he said.

The only increased risk is if asmall flock owner’s birds get influ-enza and then that individual goesto work in a commercial operation– which is unlikely, given currentbio-security protocols.

Previous avian flu outbreaks inthe Fraser Valley occurred in largecommercial operations ratherthan backyard flocks, though thesmall operators birds were alsodestroyed to stem the spread ofthe disease, he added.

“There’s no evidence [backyardbirds] are a risk tolarge flocks if thecommercial opera-tion has a good levelof bio-security,” saidCox.

Mayor Bruce Ban-man said the localfeather industry isresponsible for 90per cent of the eggs and 60 percent of the meat produced inB.C.

“The industry here has many,many jobs related to it,” said Ban-man. “For me, it’s a deal breaker.”

He also noted that Chilliwackand Mission also don’t allow back-yard chickens.

A staff report to council also

suggested backyard chickens drainbylaw resources and could attractvermin and predators and resultin noise and odour complaints.

The city has had 70 complaintsabout chickens since 1999.

Buskell, who has eight birds,says her birds very quiet and her

small flock doesnot create anysmell and neigh-bours bring theirgrandchildren tolook at the birds,which are simi-lar to any otherpet.

N u m e r o u sother communities, includingVancouver, Surrey, Delta and Vic-toria allow urban backyard flocks,with some banning noisy roostersand stipulating the number ofbirds per lot, she said.

The city’s chicken complaintscompiled over a 13-year periodmust pale in comparison to thosearound dogs, cats, unsightly yards,

or drug houses, she added.“I bet they get 70 complaints

about dogs a week.”If the city put a pilot program

in place, it could ensure chickenowners abided by a set of rulesor have their licence pulled, shesaid.

The province funds a free con-tinuing education course at theUniversity of the Fraser Valley onkeeping small flocks healthy.

“The city could require peopleto take the course before allowingthem chickens,” she said.

Stettler said responsible ownersshouldn’t be denied the pleasureof having chickens due to the fearof potential problems.

“I had chickens in the past run-ning in my orchard, enjoying thegrass, sunshine and dust baths,”she said.

“I want eggs for the sheer delightof knowing where my food com-ing from, how it’s been processedand what’s been added to it as itgrows.”

The victim eventually told a relativewhat happened three days later andthey then went to the APD.

A resulting police search of Carr’s suitefound ropes suspended from floor joistsin the ceiling, as well as a suicide notefound in the kitchen.

Police also seized a cellphone thathad pictures of a lifeless looking nakedman and woman hung by the neck thatappeared to have been taken in Carr’sbasement suite.

When presented with the phone Carrtold police the people in the photo werealive and made to look dead. He hasn’tbeen charged in connection with thephotos.

Carr has a history of being involved

with vulnerable women who are thesubject of violence.

Carr was convicted of manslaughterin 1999 in the death of 17-year-old KatieKaminski.

The troubled teen who had a mentaldisability and a history of mental illnesswas found naked and with a rope tightlywound about her neck near the railroadtracks in the 300 block of Front Street inNew Westminster on August 25, 1997.She had asphyxiated after her face wasforced into sandy soil.

Carr, who reportedly met Kaminski ina homeless shelter, was handed a seven-year sentence but spent four years in jailincluding time served.

Carr is next scheduled to appear inAbbotsford provincial court on Dec. 20for a pre-sentencing report.

“I told him I’d be coming out there in twoto three hours and I’d be crashing on theirrunway.”

Curr spent the next three hours flying thelength of the Fraser Valley to burn off the extrafuel in his fully loaded tanks.

“I didn’t want to set down with a bunch ofgas sitting two feet away fromme in the wings,” he said.

In the meantime, Curr madesome difficult phone calls tohis wife Nicola, brother Alexand his parents.

“I tried to explain that thisdoes happen,” he said. “It wasjust an abundance of cau-tion but I wanted to say that Iloved them, and I was lookingforward to seeing them on the ground.”

Apparently, his reassurance did not allaythe fears of his wife and mother, who “weren’tin much of an emotional place to do muchtalking,” said Curr.

Nicola and Alex rushed to the Abbotsfordairport to be on hand when Curr toucheddown.

It wasn’t until his final exchange with theairport controller who wished him luck thatCurr comprehended the gravity of his situ-ation.

“That’s when I realized I’m about to crashand my stomach dropped,” said Curr.

“But I recovered a couple minutes later and

did what I had to.”Recalling his training of a decade ago, Curr

left the cockpit door open, so that when theplane landed it wouldn’t get jammed if theframe twisted.

He then made a textbook emergency land-ing, putting the Piper down smoothly on itsunderside, straight and flat.

“It was a normal landing,” said Curr.“I didn’t rush it and didn’t

do anything different.”Sparks shot up from the

underside of the plane andsmoke filled the cockpit ashe landed.

The moment the aircraftwas stationary, Curr was outon the tarmac.

The waiting fire trucks racedto the scene but the Piper was

largely intact and no fire broke out.Curr’s adrenaline finally kicked in as he

glanced back at his plane.“That’s when the panic and shaking set in ...

looking at all the fire trucks,” he said.Despite the immediate shock, Curr, who

works as a paramedic, isn’t planning on givingup flying. Even though his Piper, which he justacquired in August, can’t be salvaged, Currplans to purchase a new aircraft.

The October 1 issue of theAbbotsford-Mission Timesincluded an op-ed by Jim Duecktitled: “PSE accountability non-existent.” The Times has grantedthe University of the Fraser Valleythe opportunity to respond toDueck’s claims in a special rebut-tal column.

J im Dueck’s Oct. 1 article“Post-Secondary Educationaccountability non-existent”

states that universities lackaccountability and transparencyand that faculty are not heldresponsible for student learn-ing. Nothing could be furtherfrom the truth.

Universities, and the facultymembers who teach there, areevaluated extensively, morethan they ever have been.

The University of the FraserValley is evaluated through awide variety of surveys conduct-ed by external bodies.

The following three surveysprovide evidence of the uni-versity’s success: in the annualCanadian University SurveyConsortium, our graduatingstudents rated us highly in areasincluding student growth anddevelopment, skill develop-ment, quality of teaching andeducation and the percentageof graduates who have securedemployment.

We have received five years oftop grades in the Globe & MailUniversity Reports, earning A-level grades in class size, qual-ity of teaching and learning,student-faculty interaction andinstructors’ teaching style.

In Provincial Outcomes sur-

veys, 98 per cent of our bache-lor’s graduates rated the qualityof instruction and their educa-tion positively. Apprenticeshipstudents who have completedthe final level of their technicaltraining reported an employ-ment rate of 96 per cent – someeight per cent higher than theprovincial average. Each year wesubmit an accountability reportto the Ministry of Education,detailing our activities and howthey support government pri-orities such as aligning trainingand programs with labour mar-ket demand to achieve a highlyskilled workforce.

Programs with professionalaccreditation are reviewed regu-larly by their professional bod-ies and, in addition, every UFVprogram undergoes an externalreview every five years. Thesereports and reviews are publiclyavailable, as is much of the sur-vey information.

Two years ago, UFV under-took a university-wide projectthat determined the institution-al learning outcomes (abilities)that every UFV graduate willpossess. We have since begunto align programs and courseswith these outcomes.

In the future, we will be mea-sured against the outcomes andthey are our guarantee to our

students and community. Ourprimary focus is ensuring thatour faculty members provideour students with the best pos-sible undergraduate education.

The university has rigorousevaluation procedures for newand continuing faculty that holdthem accountable for teachingexcellence and the fulfillmentof their service and scholarlyobligations.

In terms of financial account-ability, less than 50 per centof our funding comes fromgovernment, less than everbefore. Our number of interna-tional students, for which wereceive no government funding,has quadrupled over the lastdecade. These students aloneare said to have a $30-millionimpact on the local economy,while the total financial impactof the university is estimated tobe in the hundreds of millions.

Finally, there are importantreasons why universities aregiven autonomy over cur-riculum and faculty over theirclassroom. It is so faculty canincorporate the latest devel-opments in their discipline,demonstrate to students thatacademia is a living, breath-ing activity, not a fixed body ofknowledge contained in dustytextbooks, and incorporate theirown research in the classroom.

The last of these often pro-vides students research oppor-tunities of their own – one ofUFV’s strategic goals.

◗ Your view

Few people want to die. Even those whocommit suicide actually just want to get

out of a life that they feel, for whatever rea-son, has become untenable.

But it’s a fact of all our lives that the endwill arrive for every one of us at some point,whether we are ready or not.

That’s why we have to express our admi-ration for a group of people who havedevoted so much time and energy to caringabout, understanding and preparing thosewho know they are coming to the end oflife.

The hospice movement has become animportant part of the grieving process forthe dying and their families in communitiesthroughout B.C. and across Canada.

Helping people negotiate the reality ofterminal illness is, of course, is only one ofthe many vital services around death anddying that are so ably and compassionatelyprovided by hospice societies throughoutthe Fraser Valley. Their roles go far beyondpalliative care.

The service provided by hospice volun-teers goes beyond death... literally. Hospiceis also there for those who remain behind,helping the bereaved to cope with the newreality of lost loved ones – wives and hus-bands, children and parents, dear friendsand anyone else who has been placed onthe difficult road of grief.

It’s a great irony, in a world in which“nothing is certain except death and taxes,”that hospice care improves both life anddeath - and saves us tax money by allow-ing people to die in more comfortablesurroundings than an acute care bed in ahospital.

But perhaps some of the most importantwork hospice does involves talking, wheth-er in formal grief counselling or lending anear during home or hospital visits.

No one seems to want to talk aboutdeath, even when the dying want to. Hos-pice volunteers may fill the void them-selves, or help bridge the gap betweenthose who need to speak and who needto hear, to make the coming journey – forboth – just a little easier.

For many decades, Fraser Valley hospicesocieties have been smoothing some of thebumps on a path that we all, eventually, willtread.

THE TIMES THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2013 ❘ LETTERS ❘ A9

Editor, the Times:The city of Abbotsford

is currently evaluating itsbylaw banning harm reduc-tion measures.

I believe that needleexchange programs in theLower Mainland are ben-eficial and have a positiveeffect within communities.

Abbotsford reportedlysuffers from a high rate ofreported hepatitis C infec-tions compared to othermunicipalities and FraserHealth overall (Portesi, D,p.1 – see web page bit.ly/15S8Xl3 for full report).

If those living inAbbotsford were offered theopportunity to receive cleanneedles in exchange forused ones, education andsupport, these “high rates”would drop steadily.

Also, research shows that,“Abbotsford has the highestrate of hospital admissionsdue to drug overdose com-pared to Surrey and Burna-by/New Westminster”

If a needle exchange pro-gram were readily availablefor those who use drugs,they could be monitoredas they injected; as a result,this would decrease thenumber of overdose deathsand allow users to gaininsight and receive help.

Those living in Abbotsfordare put at a higher riskfor HIV, and drug related

deaths that can be pre-vented through the needleexchange’s harm reductionapproach.

Quebec takes abackward stepEditor, the Times:

Arnie Funk’s letter sup-porting Quebec’s pushtowards secularism left mefeeling conflicted.

What the Quebec gov-ernment has done thoughdoesn’t help the cause ofsecularism and, in fact, setsit back. It’s proposed Que-bec Values have more to dowith uniting the Quebecoisvote behind the Separatists,by alienating the ethnic vot-ers through a not so subtleplay of the race/religioncard.

I have no problem inopposing Sharia Law fromever being set up in Canada,as there is a limit to howaccommodating we can orshould be as a society.

Much of Sharia Law isindeed barbaric. As barbaric

as the Christian church wasin the Dark Ages, whoseshadow still haunts ustoday.

What I don’t like is howthe entire Muslim religion isbeing painted with the samebrush as not all adherentsare radical, bomb-buildingterrorists.

What Quebec is proposingis a recipe for such radical-ization as it undercuts themoderates.

Specifically, I don’t caremuch for Salmin Mansur ashe’s already suspect for hisanti-global warming stance,which is much loved amongthose addicted to conspir-acy theories. For Mansur toargue against Muslim immi-gration though is strange, ashe was a Muslim immigranthimself.

But even with the misstepof the Quebec government,I still call for us to be asecular country. Separa-tion of church and state ismore important than everfor those of us who believehuman rights and personalliberty trump the dogmas ofany religion.

THE TIMES THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2013 ❘ THANKSGIVING ❘ A11

Have you ever had the misfortune oftasting gravy that was bland, watery, or

as starchy as dragging your tongue across apile of raw flour?

To say the least, it is notpleasant; and a far cry fromserving its purpose – toenhance the food beingserved.

To assist you in avoidingthis mishap at your Thanks-giving dinner, let us discussthe basics in perfectinggravy.

Gravies are considered sauces made withthe pan drippings of either meat or poultry,and thus basics of sauce-making are funda-mental knowledge.

The functions of sauces are to add flavour,moistness, richness and appearance to pre-pared foods.

To achieve this we need three elements ofthe sauce or gravy: a liquid, a thickener andflavour.

For this Thanksgiving example, the focuswill be on turkey gravy.

The liquid for gravies is simply the juicefrom the poultry with additional brothand/or wine. The thickener will be a roux(pronounced ‘roo’), a cooked combinationof equal weighed amounts of fat and flour.Additional flavours will be created fromroasted vegetables, herbs, and seasonings.

Always cook turkey on a rack inside theroaster as it prevents the bottom half of theturkey from boiling in its own juices. Belowthe rack should be a combination of a fewbay leaves with rough chopped onion, cel-ery, carrot and garlic.

As the turkey cooks the liquid is neededfor basting however excess juices should beremoved (and reserved) to aid in the cara-melization of the vegetables.

Once cooked, remove the turkey from the

roasting pan, drain the liquid and allow thefat and juices to separate.

Add a bit of the fat back to the roastingpan along with some flourand cook on a medium-lowheat stovetop with the veg-etables for a few minutes.

This process will cookout the starchy raw flourtaste and help in the finalbrowning of the vegetables.It should be fairly thick andpasty. Slowly deglaze thepan with some white wine

or broth.Deglazing is the process of removing the

browned bits of flavour from the pan andincorporating them into the sauce. Incor-porate the reserved juices (not the fat) andadditional broth and/or wine gradually toavoid lumping.

While heating through, continue to addenough broth/wine until you have reachedthe thickness that you want to achieve.Remember, the full thickening power ofthe roux will not take effect until the gravyreaches a boil.

The vegetable pieces and herbs cannow be removed by the aid of a wire meshstrainer.

Taste and season the gravy with salt andfresh cracked pepper before serving.

Additional herbs such as thyme, sage, andoregano can be used but should be in mini-mum amounts to prevent from overpower-ing the gravy.

Dried herbs should be added during thecooking process of the roux, as they willneed re-hydration time to release theirflavour. Fresh herbs are more delicate andshould be added with the liquid, once thepan is deglazed, for optimal taste and fra-grance.

Whatever type of gravy or sauce you are

making, remember one important rule:always create depth of flavour by adding avariety of complimenting tastes rather thanjust one bold main ingredient.

Mitsubishi Canada plans to grow itsdealer presence clear across Canada byadding as many as 12 dealerships overthe next five years.

The strategy is to boost the number ofdealerships from the current 88 to 100.

The new 2014 Mitsubishi Outlanderis off to a great start and the all-newMirage will provide incremental volumeas a fuel economy, price and warrantyleader among subcompacts. We needto grow our presence in WesternCanada.

This year has been an important onefor the Japanese automaker. With anadmittedly small lineup — it currentlycompetes with just four nameplatesincluding its low-volume electric i-MiEV,has seen the addition of a completelyredesigned Outlander and the falllaunch of its subcompact and fifthCanadian model, Mirage; this all whilecelerating it’s tenth anniversary inCanada.

The redesigned Outlander offeredthe first glimpse into how interested

the company is in growing. Clearlydesigned for volume and loaded withoptional safety and electroni goodies,the SUV has enjoyed some earlysuccess since it’s June launch. TheMirage is in dealerships now.

Growth for the dealer network iswell-timed as dozens of Suzuki Canadadealers recently found themselves outof business.

Suzuki quietly told consumers thissummer it would not be selling 2014model year vehicles, instead endingsales with 2013 cars and SUVs.

Despite Suzuki’s automakers initialcommitment to continue sales throughto the end of the 2014 model year — apledge made in late March followingthe news it would pull the plug onautomotive operations in Canada– things have changed.

Mitsubishi plan has already startedrolling with the recent appointment ofFraser Valley Mitsubishi.

Existing stores making the switchwill have to commit to adhering the

Mitsubishibrand imageprogram for theexterior and keyconsumer touchpoints inside thedealership.

It’s fair to say thatour brand is a key partof our success in Canadaand we believe Mitsubishidealerships should meetthe requirements of themarket to allow the dealer tobe profitable while meetingcustomer expectations forservice and facility.

From January to the end ofAugust this year Mitsubishi saleswere up nearly 10 percent with 14,416units sold in 2013.

The automaker has been takingsteps to improve Mitsubishi’s brandawareness through increasedmarketing, especially around itsunmatched 10-year warranty.

Abbotsford Heat fans will have a newyoung team to cheer for this season asthe Heat host the Milwaukee Admiralsfor their home opener Friday night at

the AES C.“We don’t have a lot of vets, which makes us

pretty young, but that’s OK,” said head coach TroyWard, starting his third season in Abbotsford.

Fourteen players will be returning to the lineupfrom last year, which is about par for the course.But the Heat also have many new, young play-ers, including 19-year-oldPat Sieloff of Ann Arbor,Mich., who’s the youngestplayer in the AHL.

“We’re young [but] it’sa good thing,” said Ward.“We play with good enthu-siasm, we have good ener-gy to our game and weplay with good pace ... it’syoung vibrant guys and weget after it.”

The Heat started theseason on the road lastweekend in Cleveland,defeating the Lake Erie Monsters 5-2 in the seasonopener Oct. 4, then losing 3-2 the following night.In these first couple months of the season, theHeat will be on the road about 50 per cent of thetime, but as much as Ward likes playing before thehome crowd, road trips can be a good thing.

“Because we’re so young, it’s actually betterfor our guys to get away and do some bonding;spend time on the road usually [helps] teamscome together quicker so I don’t mind being onthe road early.”

Entering his seventh year coaching in theAmerican Hockey League, Ward has seen a dra-matic shift in the age of the players acrossthe board. Age 25, which oncewas considered young, is old bytoday’s standards, with20-21 year-old up-and-comers being the newnorm.

“The American HockeyLeague is a developmentleague for the NHL. Theteams that are har-vesting and makinggood players that growinto good NHL players are pretty young at thislevel. It’s become a younger league every year.”

Looking at the lineup, Ward is expecting a wholeteam effort this season.

“I don’t know ifwe have one out-standing player, wedon’t have a lot ofveteran guys,” hesaid. “We’re goingto do it by com-mittee. The wholegroup has to chipin. We’re not thatdynamic where wehave one superstarhere.We don’t havethat ‘go to’ big timestar.”

He does, however, have two new European goal-ies in Reto Berra (from Switzerland) and Joni Ortio(from Finland). But that could change at any timedepending on the needs of the Calgary Flames.

“They’re both very capable goalies at this level,”he added.

The batch of new young players may speak wellto the strengths of the Heat this season.

“We’re not an overly big team, we have to playwith great pace and great discipline and managethe puck real well,” said Ward. “If we can do those

things I think the Heat fanswill be entertained and we’llbe in a position to do somegood things.”What he doesn’t want to see

are too many penalties, like whathappened in Saturday’s loss to

Lake Erie, which saw four fights and74 penalty minutes combined.

“We have to be on the positive side ofthe power play game. We have to play with

great discipline to be successful this year.”Ward is prepared for player movement through-

out the season, as the Flames take a closer lookat his outstanding Heat players. And that’s OKby him.

“Your life could change in a split second. Youcould have your whole top line called up,” he said,explaining one opportunity for a player goingto Calgary is an opportunity gained for a youngplayer from Alaska (Alaska Aces, ECHL, the Heat’sfarm team).

“Because you love all your players and you wantall your players to do well, for a coach they all kindof mesh together,” added Ward.

“My No. 1 job as a head coach is to make sureI develop players. The second priority in my jobis to win. Development is first and foremost ... tomake sure players develop and can reach theirdream and play in Calgary. If we can win alongthe way, it’s a real bonus.”

As far as the Heat’s strongest competition thisseason, Ward sees the Oklahoma City Barons(Edmonton Oilers) and Texas Stars (Dallas) askey matchups.

“Those teams are going to be good teams andour competitiveness will always go to those tworivalries.”

The Heat face off against the Milwaukee Admi-rals (Nashville Predators affiliate) Friday andSaturday at the AESC. The puck drops at 7 p.m.both nights.

■ NHL legend Guy Lafleur will be honoured Oct. 11and will be available to sign autographs for fans.

ANGELIKA DAWSON

For the Times

In the gospel of Luke, we find thestory of the bent-over woman,a woman whose body was socrippled that she could not

stand up straight for 18 years.When Jesus sees her in the temple,

he calls to her and tells her that sheis free of her ailment and lays handson her. She immediately rises up andbegins praising God.

The temple leaders criticize herfor being healed on the Sabbath,but Jesus condemns them, namingher as a daughter of Abraham anddefending her right to be healed onany day.

Not only is the woman freed fromher physical ailment, she is emo-tionally and spiritually healed asJesus restores both her body andher dignity.

It is this story that forms the coreof a new album by Mission singer/songwriter Cathy A.J. Hardy, titled Iam she… a soul’s journey home.

“The ‘I am she’ song is the essenceof the woman who now knows thatdeep healing love and has beentransformed,” Hardy says. “This ismy story. It is a very personal albumin that all of the songs arise out ofthe story of my personal journey, butI trust that they are songs we can allrelate to in our sto-ries of transforma-tion.”

Hardy will releasethe CD with a con-cert in Abbotsfordo n O c t . 1 9 . He rconcert will sup-port three organiza-tions that are closeto her heart: theMennonite CentralCommittee’s EndAbuse program, theWomen’s ResourceSociety of the Fra-ser Valley, and MarkCentre.

“It has been my experience thatmany women tend to lose theirvoice, in many symbolic ways,” saysHardy.

“There are a lot of women like thebent-over woman in the gospels. Itis my desire to help us return to thatinvitation of being named, beinghealed, being set free.

“I would like tosupport organi-zations that arehelping bent-overwomen to becomewomen of dignityand beauty andknowing their fullworth as humanbeings.”

Elsie Goerzen,MCC’s End Abuseprogram co-ordi-nator, is excitedthat Hardy is shar-ing her music andher journey.

She has known Hardy for severalyears, inviting the singer to bringher music to the women’s supportgroups offered by the End Abuseprogram.

“Cathy has come to our group sev-eral times to do a drumming circle,or to sing and do some storytelling,”says Goerzen.

“Women in our groups have expe-rienced deep soul wounding andCathy’s music brings hope for heal-ing of those wounds.”

Hardy’s own journey with hurt andhardship enables her music to reso-nate with others also experiencingdifficulties.

When her last album, Love Shines,was just being released, her 24-yearmarriage was coming to an end,leaving her devastated and heart-broken.

“I had to let go of how I hoped lifewould turn out and I also had to letgo of how I had wanted to share thatalbum with the community at thattime,” she recalls.

“I allowed myself these past twoand a half years to process and healthe closing of a long-term marriage.I am so grateful for this journey andall the gifts that have been discov-

ered along the way. I waded throughintense grief and the frighteningrealities of being alone. Throughit all, I have received an invitationfrom God not just to survive but tolive and to live fully and deeply fromthe heart.”

That expression is wrapped inHardy’s talented compositions andher rich, mesmerizing four-octavevoice.

Hardy’s intention is that all whocome to the concert would experi-ence community and be uplifted bythe songs and by the experience ofcoming together.

Hardy’s I am she… a soul’s journeyhome CD release concert is Oct. 19 at7:30 p.m., at the Matsqui CentennialAuditorium, (city hall) 32315 SouthFraser Way, Abbotsford.

■ Tickets are $15 at the House of James,King’s Music or online at cathyajhardy.com. For more information about MCC’sEnd Abuse program, visit bc.mcc.org/endabuse.
