Abbotsford Mayor George Peary is fi ring back at critics of the city’s plan to leave the Fraser Valley Regional District.

FVRD chair Patricia Ross issued a press release last week critical of the move, and invited Abbotsford council to meet with her board “to explore the city’s concerns about membership in the region.”

“I wonder which side of the table she’ll be sitting on,” Peary said of Ross, who is also an Abbotsford city councillor.

He said Ross receives a $29,000 per year stipend from the FVRD, plus expenses. This is in addition to the $34,700 base pay from the city. He said she is “hardly a disinterested spectator.”

Peary also responded to media reports quot-ing the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development saying there is no legisla-tive provision to remove a municipality from a regional district.

Peary said the city has already consulted Abbotsford’s MLAs about the issue, and “they are prepared at least to consider our request. They haven’t rejected it out of hand.”

The city also raised the issue of leaving the FVRD with minister Ida Chong, and she too has not dismissed the idea.

“It requires a legislative amendment. That’s why we’re talking to the politicians and not the bureaucrats,” Peary said. “There are legislative precedents to allow this to happen.”

On Nov. 7 council voted 8-1 to ask Victoria for permission to become a single-tier government.

Police bullet may have struck house

Five years for border inspector’s role in drug ring

Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News

An Abbotsford man has been sentenced to five years in a U.S. prison for allowing cocaine shipments across the border while he was an inspector at the Aldergrove cross-ing.

Jasbir Singh Grewal, 40, previously plead-ed guilty to conspiring to export cocaine and was sentenced Nov. 4 in U.S. District Court in Seattle, Wash. The judge also ruled that, following Grewal’s release from prison, he will be on supervised release for four years.

Grewal was arrested in August 2010 and was later extradited to the U.S.

He was employed as a Canada Border Service Agency inspector in 2007 and 2008, when he permitted recreational vehicles to enter Canada that he was aware were carrying cocaine.

The drivers had been advised to enter the Aldergrove crossing at a specific time and use the lane in which Grewal was working.

According to U.S. court documents, Grewal was paid $50,000 for each load of cocaine. Each RV contained 200 to 300 kilos of the

drug valued between $5 million and $7.5 million.

In total, it was estimated that 3,000 kilos of cocaine, valued at $75 million, were imported into Canada in the course of the conspiracy.

The court documents state that Grewal was involved in 12 incidents in which he permitted a vehicle containing cocaine to knowingly cross the border into Canada.

At the time of his arrest, Grewal had no prior criminal record. He had lived in Abbotsford since the age of 11, and obtained a bachelor of arts with a major in criminology in 1996.

He had worked for several non-profit groups and also volunteered as a youth support worker.

A total of 54 people have been charged in connection to the drug ring, including 28 Canadians.

Devron Quast of Abbotsford was sentenced in July 2009 to six years and

three months in prison, while the leader of the conspiracy, Rob Shannon of Maple Ridge, was sentenced in March 2009 to 20 years.

Jody York, formerly of Abbotsford, received a five-year sentence in March of this year.

The bullet that an Abbotsford police officer fired Nov. 4 to deflate the tire on a fleeing suspect’s vehicle may have imbedded itself into the side of a nearby house.

Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said ballistic tests are being done to determine if the bullet was the single shot fired by the officer. He added that the circumstances fit the complaint by a homeowner on Juniper Crescent.

MacDonald said the bullet pierced the vinyl siding, but did not penetrate the wall.

“The round was pretty mangled by the time it made its way to the residence,” he said.

The incident is being reviewed by police.On Nov. 4, a uniformed officer from the

department’s patrol division had an interac-tion with a 34-year-old man driving a grey Dodge pickup truck hauling a trailer in the 3400 block of Juniper Crescent. The officer

recognized the man from prior contacts with police.

As the vehicle raced away, the officer fired a single shot into the tire of the truck.

The circumstances of the firearm discharge are being reviewed.

APD patrol officers and police heli-copter Air One searched for the sus-pect and the vehicle. About 45 minutes later, at 10:45 a.m. the suspect was loca-ted in the area of Cassiar Avenue and McKee Road driving a red Ford Focus. Police stopped that vehicle and the suspect was taken into custody with no further incident. The pickup was located off-road on Eagle Mountain.

MacDonald said discussions with the homeowners are still preliminary, and

“not by any stretch done.“We’ve obviously taking this matter very

seriously,” he said, adding the residents are being “very reasonable.”

He said the homeowners do not want their name or address released.

Investigation into round fired at suspect’s tire

‘The FVRD is frugal’Ross was the lone dissenting voice.

A city staff report said the city could save close to $759,000 per year by leaving the FVRD.

“Our motive is what is the best value for our taxpayers,” said Peary.

He added that governments, like the FVRD which was formed in 1995, take on a life of their own.

“They start adding staff, going out and looking for things to do.”

Ross said the city should be careful what it wishes for, and the city could leave the FVRD only to have Victoria place it within the Metro Regional District.

In that scenario, she said tax bills would increase, and Abbotsford would have little influence at the Metro table.

“We would be such a small voice...”In the press release, Ross said the FVRD

did not receive the latest report Abbotsford used to conclude it could get a better deal leaving the region, and that report was based on flawed information

“The FVRD is a frugal organization,” said the release. “In 2010, FVRD staff conducted a review of the contributions of each member municipality and electoral area and reduced Abbotsford’s contribution by more than $715,000. The aver-age Abbotsford household pays $29.04 annually, or $2.42 a month, which is good value for all the services and benefits we receive.”

A partial list of services provided by the FVRD in Abbotsford for an annual fee of just over $3 million includes 911 emer-

gency call service, regional fire dispatch, solid waste management, noxious weed control, mosquito control, data collection on homelessness, transportation, agricul-ture and other topics, and liaison with the province in the planning of its services for the region.

“It would make sense for the city to bring its concerns into a constructive dialogue with the FVRD, rather than taking a confrontational approach,” she said. “The city has also not been clear as to why it should be exempt from rules that apply to other members of a regional district.”

Ross told The News it is possible Abbotsford could end up paying more for these services by leaving the FVRD.

Peary was adamant Abbotsford will not be part of Metro as long as he is mayor.

“That’s fear-mongering. We have no intention of joining Metro,” he responded. “That’s not in the cards.”

He said the FVRD provides “precious little in the way of services,” and those could be replaced.

“We can go shopping for arrangements that are more bene-ficial to our taxpayers.”

He said following Saturday’s election, the new leadership at city hall will plan meetings with government officials in Victoria in January. If re-elected, he would arrange to meet with Chong and local MLAs to discuss the issue, and hope-fully secure an answer by February.

“Otherwise, we’ll continue to agitate for changes from within (the FVRD).”

Candidate and city toe off on water-use projections

Kevin MILLSAbbotsford News

The City of Abbotsford has over-projected its future water needs, claims council candidate Henry Braun.

Other candidates have also publicly questioned city hall’s water-use esti-mates.

However, city officials say Braun has limited his conclusions, without tak-ing into account key fac-tors affecting water use.

Braun points out that water consumption over the past five years has dropped.

“It appears that the city has been using inflated

projections, rather than actual usage, for the years of 2007 through 2011.”

The trend in peak water use has been downward since 2007. Braun said average daily use has also decreased by 10 per cent over the last four years.

In 2007, the city’s peak usage was 139.2 million litres in a day (MLD). In 2008 it dropped to 119.8 MLD, went to 126.6 in 2009, 106.8 in 2010 and last year it was 93.1.

The average daily use has dropped from 78.2 MLD in 2007 to 70.6 MLD as of Sept. 30, 2011.

Braun said consumption has gone down “in spite of

the fact our population has grown in these four years and new business has been added.”

The city’s information campaign regarding the need for a new water sup-ply and treatment centre at Stave Lake shows a pro-jected steady increase in usage that could surpass supply by 2016.

Jim Gordon, Abbotsford’s general manager of engi-neering and regional utili-ties, said he isn’t arguing with Braun’s figures; in fact, they are available on the city’s website.

However, he does have some concerns with the

‘Engineers can’t say it will probably be okay’

interpretation.“If you just look at the five figures, it appears

as though the usage has gone down. But there are a lot of other factors at play ... You don’t plan a water system on five points of data,” said Gordon.

He said 2011 was an abnormally cool year, which played a huge role in keeping consump-tion down, as did an unpopular watering ban in 2010.

“We can’t bet that Mother Nature will give us cool Julys every year ... probability is, we are going to have another hot July, like we did in 2007, when our water use came very close to our capacity.”

He said three or four days of 35-degree weath-er in mid-July would have a “dramatic” effect on consumption, which could easily surpass the 139 MLD mark reached in 2007, despite the recent reductions.

“Engineers can’t say it will probably be okay; it absolutely has to be okay.”

Gordon said the projections are based on a worst-case scenario.

“They have to be.”July appears to be a key month for water use.

Gordon said higher temperatures in August and September, don’t create the same demand

“My point is, you can’t just look at a few figures, which is why we hire the consultants to do the master plans .. you need a more com-prehensive study ... We can’t be hoping we have enough water, we have to know.”

He said five years is a “pretty small snapshot”

and growth and consumpion trends need to be examined for 10 or 20 years.

But Braun feels the projections will confuse some voters.

“The numbers used by the city have had the effect of scaring some people into thinking that if they don’t vote yes, we will run out of water very soon,” said Braun.

Braun believes water usage in 2012 will drop again, “because water conservation hasn’t kicked in yet.”

Two-tiered billing and a higher awareness of the city’s need for water will cause people to conserve even more, he said.

Braun does agree with the city that a steady rise in water use will occur due to population and business growth.

“But that trajectory is entirely different from what the city is claiming.”

By comparing the peak usage of the past few years, Braun has concluded that the present water system could be sufficient until 2020 and beyond.

“That gives us time to look at some alterna-tives.”

City manager Frank Pizzuto said people can’t look at a few years and decide things are fine.

“Are you going to gamble on the weather and say, for the last three years we’ve had good weather so we’re going to be okay?

“Or are you going to rely on extensive stud-ies?

“I believe that water, unlike other commodi-ties, needs to be available 100 per cent of the time for residents and business. Anything less is unacceptable,” Pizzuto said.

From A5

The people of B.C. defi ed an out-of-touch provincial government, and voted down the HST. This despite a whole lot of “experts” telling them it was the wrong thing to do. I wonder if the voters of Abbotsford are offended enough to reject P3 water?

Our so-called choice is P3 or no water. If we were given a similar choice for the offi ce of mayor, the choices would be George Peary or no mayor. The city would launch an expensive cam-paign encouraging us to get out and exercise our demo-cratic right. They would tell us we really need a mayor. Large, expensive ads would appear in local newspapers.

Despite the city’s attempt at “educating” us, we must push for other options. Let’s work with Mission, instead

of threatening to charge them premium rates to buy water. Let’s join with other municipalities who have chosen to lobby the feds to provide funding for publicly-owned systems. Let’s not be ashamed to staff a project with workers earning fair wages. Let’s ensure we have full control and total trans-parency in all aspects of thisproject, for the entire life of the project.

The federal money is signifi cant, but shame on the federal government for tying funding (taxpayer dol-lars) to privatization, while claiming there is no other money available.

Let’s send our council and the federal government a message. Vote no.

Murray Lanoville

Information is a powerful thing.How it is wielded can be extremely

important.The City of Abbotsford’s water supply is

a prime example.There is a virtual river of information

surrounding this issue, with water usage data key among all the statistics.

It is the latter which has become the focus for many residents, in part due to the claims of opponents of the proposed public-private partnership, and a number of council candidates, some of whom are in the same camp.

The majority of the city’s fi gures originate from master water plan reports, prepared by engineers and other experts.

They have taken existing data, such as daily average water consumption in the city and peak usage periods, as well as population growth trends and estimates, and analyzed those to arrive at future need projections.

The conclusion of the 2010 AECOM water plan was the potential of a water

shortage by 2016 during peak periods, based on levels hit during very hot sum-mer months in recent years.

It is true that water consumption has decreased over the past four years, largely due to cooler weather, and increased watering restrictions during hot periods.

However, there is no guarantee that such a climate trend will continue, while it is a solid fact that population growth in Abbotsford will continue to climb, as will business and industrial water consump-tion.

Long-term water use projections must be based on worst-case scenarios, with major contingencies built in to guard against future water shortages.

Disagree with the public-private part-nership, if you wish. Ask for options, if you feel inclined.

But it is dangerously simplistic to look at the past few years, and conclude that the city is in fi ne shape for water for another decade or more.

That’s not planning, that’s just hoping.

lettersSend a messageMake conservation the focus

I attended the all-candidates debate last Tuesday evening. I am pleased to see so many people run-ning in this election especially the younger candi-dates and fi ve women.

The P3 water project kept coming up and I noticed that all our incumbents except Patricia Ross continually justifi ed the P3 project. Many new candidates were either against it or wanted to slow the process down.

It appeared that most people in the room were not in favour of pushing ahead with the project, yet not one of the pro-P3 incumbents backed down from their sales pitch.

I didn’t hear talk of water saving ideas or that we are actually back at our 2002 levels of water use. These comments and ideas came from new candidates, not our incumbents.

Can you imagine how much water our city would save if half our homes had water-effi cient showers, toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, etc?

What if our city approached companies such as Rona, Home Depot, our independents, and the peo-ple of Abbotsford were offered good discounts for upgrading to water-effi cient items or property tax discounts were given for water-saving upgrades.

Our new meters are showing people how much water they are actually using, and they are being charged for it. Those now paying hundreds of dollars I believe will start conserving water and turning to water-saving devices.

With all the brilliant minds out there and all the rain we get in the Fraser Valley, there has to be a way to harness our rain and hold it, then disperse it when required.

Let’s make water conservation our fi rst focus and we will have water beyond 2016 and we will have the time to research the best ideas for mov-ing forward in the future.

I think young people with new ideas for council is a great idea. These are the people in the job market, with growing families, concerned about their children’s future and directly effected by all that is happening.

Most of the current council lived when getting ahead was easy, jobs were abundant, pay was good, pensions were around, homeless people did not exist, and now they are retired with pensions.

It is hard for us to put ourselves in young people’s shoes. Maybe it is time to let their voices be heard.

Experience You Can Trust

Paid for by Simon & Joy Gibson (no donations accepted)

Investment in futureWe are priviledged to live in a vi-

brant, progressive and diverse city. The free enterprize system and

the entrepenerial spirit have been the economic engine that has al-lowed us to build one of the best places in the world to raise a family and build a secure future.

Our residents are among the most generous in our country in terms of volunteering and donating fi-nancially. We need to handle our prosperity with care.

The debate around the Stave Lake water project has turned negative and is dividing our city.

It is easy to criticize, condemn and complain. Politicians are an easy target. I have listened to both sides and have come to the conclu-sion that we need to vote yes to Stave Lake Water on Nov. 19.

The no side offers no constructive alternatives other than conserva-tion.

Although conservation is a noble goal that we should all work to-wards it will not be enough to se-cure a sustainable water source.

City staff and professional con-sultants have studied 19 various scenarios and have concluded that Stave Lake is the best option.

The no side is funded by CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees). As a general rule, pub-lic sector unions are not known for helping to build a strong economy.

The federal government is offer-ing a sizable amount of money that we would be foolish to reject.

The city is not selling our water rights to a private company. The city is simply partnering with the private sector to deliver a publicly owned and funded utility.

Many people are angry that the city is spending money to commu-nicate the water issue to its citi-zens. They have no choice. How else can they engage the public in an important issue?

Others are angry that they are not given a choice of options.

Provincial legislation mandates that borrowing referendums must have 50 per cent plus one to pass. If we were presented with more than one option nothing would ever pass.

We elect a council who hire staff that are instructed to deliver ser-vices. Staff then works with engi-neers and professionals to study all the options.

The best option is then brought forward to the public for a vote.

It is commendable that the city has a vision to the future and is planning for our future.

I encourage people to seriously consider the future when they cast their vote. This is not frivolous spending – it is an investment in our future.

In fact, the new Port Mann Bridge is a provincial project, and not a TransLink project. The prov-ince is responsible for retaining a toll operator, and for managing and administering the tolls on that bridge.

Misleading letter on Walkerton tragedy

In the Nov. 11 issue of The News, Laurie Hoekstra states in her let-ter that “The Walkerton disaster is an example of private control gone very, very wrong.”

This is a misleading statement that needs to be clarified.

The Walkerton tragedy oc-curred when the water system was operated by the public utility commission.

Public operators “engaged in a host of improper operating prac-tices, including failing to use ade-quate doses of chlorine, failing to monitor chlorine residuals daily, making false entries about resid-uals in daily operating records, and misstating the locations at which microbio logical samples were taken.” (Taken from the Walkerton Inquiry, available at www.attor neygeneral.jus.gov.

on.ca/english/about/pubs/walk-erton/part1/WI_Summary.pdf ).

The municipality has since en-tered into an operating agree-ment with a private operator,Veolia.

Although Walkerton’s (nowMunicipality of Brockton) watersystem is now privately operated,the municipality retains 100 percent ownership and control ofthe water resources and systems.

This is the same partneringstructure proposed for the StaveLake water supply.

Project PRIMEThe Abbotsford

Police Department has launched another positive messaging campaign aimed at youth – Project PRIME.

School buses, unlike public transit, do not contain advertising messages on their interior panels. Local police thought they could be the first to put signs on the bus walls.

The objective of the project is to “Prime” youth by supporting growth and action, says an APD press release.

Project PRIME will see the placement of signs in school buses

where students will receive some positive messaging as they travel in any of the 50 buses that com-prise the public and independent fleet.

Small numbers can add up quickly, however. Those 50 buses will provide an estimated 1.3 mil-lion views over the course of the school year, Abbotsford

Police Const. IanMacDonald pointsout.

The AbbotsfordPolice Departmenthave partneredwith the AbbotsfordSchool District, St.John Brebeuf, MEIand Dasmesh schoolsin the project.

The cost of printingthe magnetic/clingsigns was covered byTD Canada Trust.

Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News

Abbotsford voters heading to the polls this Saturday will find the name of one long-time trustee missing from the ballot.

Joanne Field, who has served on the board of education for 15 years, includ-ing four years as chair, is not seeking re-election.

Instead, she will spend the next three years on a sailing ad-venture with her hus-band, Ray.

“It’s his time now,” Field said, referring to the demands that a public position can make on one’s per-sonal life.

She said the trip has been a lifelong dream of her husband’s and, although she has some hesitations about traversing major ocean cross-ings, she’s embracing the adventure.

The pair begin their journey in January aboard a 57-foot off-shore sail-boat that they re-cently purchased in Jacksonville, Florida.

They will leave from there and then trav-el to the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal and Central America, and then along the west coast of North America, probably via Hawaii.

The boat will be stored for periods – such as during hur-ricane season – at which time the cou-ple will return to Abbotsford, and Field will continue her in-volvement in com-munity endeavours such as the Rotary Club, Abbotsford Restorative Justice and the new City of Character initiative.

She said she will miss the break from the board of educa-tion, but doesn’t rule out seeking another term when the sail-ing trip is over.

“I feel like it’s an absolute honour and privilege to serve my community in this way.”

Field was first elect-ed as a trustee in 1996. She said she decided to seek political office because, as a parent of two children, she

was concerned about the standards of edu-cation.

“I’ve always had a heart for young people ... I truly do believe in the role of public education and what it can offer young people.”

Field said her proudest moments as a trustee have been seeing the accom-p l i s h m e n t s of Abbotsford s t u d e n t s , w h e t h e r they’re gradu-ating, winning awards or “turning their lives around.”

She said she is also proud to see the prog-ress the school dis-trict has made in ad-dressing the diverse needs of students. When she first began, French immersion programs and the

Career Technical Centre were the only alternatives to stan-dard education.

Now, she applauds the numerous options available, including vocational programs, a virtual school, a fine arts school, ex-

panded sec-ondary-school opportunities at universities, and the tradi-tional school model, which she founded.

Other high-lights for Field were being named a recip-

ient of the Abbotsford Community Leader Award in 2007 and the school district being the first in B.C. to become Power Smart-certified.

She is an advocate for renewable ener-gy, pointing out that the sailboat includes

solar panels and, eventually, a wind generator.

Field said areas in which she would like to see improvement include more atten-tion to the issue of bullying – particular-ly over the Internet – and the use of tech-nology in a way that best benefits students in a safe, responsible manner.

Overall, she feels the school district has made great strides in the years she has been involved.

“Right now, I think we’re in a pretty good place.”

Field’s final board meeting was last night.

The other six board of education incum-bents are seeking re-election, along with nine new faces, who are vying for seven available seats.

Vote Yesfor Affordable WaterThe Stave Lake Water Referendum gives citizens the opportunity

to secure their water supply for generations to come.

5 Important Factsto help you make an informed decision.

On November 19, vote YES! for Stave Lake WaterThis message is paid for by concerned citizens including Dave Holmberg, founder of Bobcat Country; KJ Kim, owner of Heritage Valley Resort;

Vern Siemens of Mt. Lehman Winery; Ross Siemens of Hub Motor Service; Randy Bartsch of Ecotex Healthcare Linen Service and theEsposite Group through the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, and is supported by the following Past Presidents:

• James Barlow• Alan Asaph

• Fiona Brett• Satvir Gill

• Karen Young• Rita Walker

• Patricia Sapielak• John Friesen

• 2011 PRESIDENT• Patrick Giesbrecht

Support-Stave-Lake-Water Stave-Lake-Water-Project

1. There are NO othermore affordable options

In 2010, Deloitte & Touche and AECOM released the 2010 Water Master Plan, a feasibility study that identi ed 19 possible alternative combinations to supply Abbotsford’s water needs from six different sources.

The Water Master Plan identi ed Stave Lake as the most viable option from both environmental and nancial perspectives.

2. It will always beOUR water

Even though a private company will be nancing $95 million of the $291 million

project in the form of infrastructure and managing the facility, this will ALWAYS be Abbotsford’s project and water.

The water will NEVER be exported and the water rates are NOT controlled by the private partner. The private partner would only be responsible for construction of the facility and managing the treatment and delivery of the water from Stave Lake to the Abbotsford water system.

The water will NEVER become their property — it will always be the property of Abbotsford, and subject to the laws and requirements of the Fraser Health Authority and provincial Water Protection Act.

The city is not allowed, under the provincial Water Protection Act, to export bulk water, as con rmed in a letter signed the B.C. Deputy Controller of Water Rights, dated the rst week of November, 2011.

It will be the City of Abbotsford that will determine the amount of water to be brought from Stave Lake and Abbotsford has access to the water at all times.

3. Quality controlis guaranteed

The Stave Lake water project and the private contractor building the facility are subject to all restrictions and regulations of the Fraser Health Authority and the provincial Water Protection Act.

These strict rules must be kept, as mandated by law and a legally binding guaranteed contract.

4. Conservation is notthe complete answer

Conservation, while important for everyone, is not the answer for Abbotsford’s growing water needs. This includes low- ow toilets and shower heads, prohibition of lawn watering, and increased water restrictions and limits during peak usage time. Even with a 20% conservation of water usage, by 2016, Abbotsford will still need more water. Using all conservation efforts will NOT solve Abbotsford’s water shortage.

5. A Diversifi ed Water Supply

85% of Abbotsford’s water currently comes from Norrish Creek, so even if that source is depleted, the Stave Lake watershed provides a safe alternative source. Abbotsford won’t have “all of its eggs in one basket,” when it comes to water.

It’s not just about prevention, it’s about diversifying Abbotsford’s water supply.

Abbotsford nearly lost the Norrish Creek water supply to a washout in 2003. If Norrish was lost today higher elevations of Abbotsford and outlying areas of the city would be without water for weeks, potentially impacting thousands of people and businesses.

The first performance is Friday, Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m., at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church at 20097 72 Ave.

The second is on Friday, Nov. 25, at 7:30 p.m. at Peach Lutheran Church at 2029 Ware St.

Celebrating the honour

In every community there are individuals, businesses and organizations whose effort and achievement go far beyond the ordinary. It may be a new enterprise just starting to make its mark, an industry leader that stands out from his or her peers or a well established business that continues to refl ect strong, innovative management.

The Abbotsford Business Excellence Awards is our business community’s annual recognition of those successes. It is an opportunity to identify and celebrate the characteristics, knowledge and actions that make Abbotsford great.

The high calibre of the nominees makes it a formidable task for our judges to select a recipient in each category. In fact, all nominees should be equally proud of their accomplishments and feel truly honoured, as being distinguished by one’s peers is the most meaningful form of recognition.

On behalf of the Business Excellence Committee, I offer congratulations to all this year’s nominees for a job well done.

Ventriloquist Michael Harrison has made a successful career talking to dolls, and he’s quite willing to acknowledge that. “People ask me all the time why I became a ventriloquist. Simple answer, “I have no friends.”

Regardless, for someone with no friends, he certainly has no lack of success. He has worked with the likes of Boyz II Men, The Muppets, and recently performed alongside multi-platinum recording artist, Kelly Clarkson.

Michael’s talents have allowed him to perform all over the world as an entertainer. His venues have ranged from New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and numerous cruise ships including the Disney Cruise Line as a headline act. He will now be bringing that act to Abbotsford. “Wait, that can’t be right!” jokes Harrison, “someone get my agent on the phone!”

He recently appeared on the popular television show “America’s Got Talent,” where celebrity judges David Hasselhoff, Sharon

Osborne and Piers Morgan gave him outstanding reviews. The NBC show auditioned more than 25,000 acts and averaged 12 million weekly viewers. Harrison was the only ventriloquist chosen to compete in the semi-fi nalists for the $1 million prize and an opportunity to showcase his act in Las Vegas.

Michael Harrison will perform at this year’s 16th annual Business Excellence Awards on Nov. 23. He says his comedy show is “one of a kind,” and consists of an array of characters and audience participation.

Similar to many of the guests attending the event, Michael pursued his passion and is now making a difference in the industry. “Performing for this event is an honour,” said Harrison, “but that doesn’t mean I want them to take me seriously! This night is about big laughs, just as much as it is about big successes.”

Outstanding reviews for a guy who talks to dolls

In 20 years of operation, Tradex has hosted more than 1,000 events, and over fi ve million guests.

The 11,000 square-meter facility is considered to be the most successful small market venue in Western Canada. Their outstanding commitment to the community earned them the Estab-lished Business of the Year Award (over 20 employees) in 2010.

The multi-use event space hosts ap-proximately 90 events annually, includ-ing the West Coast Women’s “We work closely with our clients to ensure their event runs smoothly,” said Vali Marling, director of operations at Tradex. “We try to go above and beyond service standards, resulting in loyal, long-term clients.”

Winning the award was very excit-ing for Marling and the Tradex team,

who “have worked very hard to fi ll the building with events and compete with larger Vancouver venues.” Recognition was gratifying for facility staff, who recently celebrated their 20th anniver-sary.

Tradex employs more than 225 event and administrative staff, and plans to keep a steady pace in 2012. They already have approximately 70 events on the schedule and are “working on expansion of the building,” explained Marling. This includes an on-site hotel and additional parking as well as improving the facilities environmental footprint.

“We are continually working on pro-tecting the environment and currently recycle 80 per cent of the event waste and almost 100 per cent of the food and beverage waste.”

When it comes to farming and providing fresh produce Abbotsford, Charlotte Lepp of Lepp Farm Market considers it, simply, to be a “labour of love.” Husband and wife, Rob and Charlotte, grew up on farms in Ab-botsford, and appreciate the value of locally grown produce. “The dream to open a year-round fruit and veg-gie market began about 10 years ago,” says Charlotte. “One day we fi nally decided to go for it!”

The 1,300-square-metre market opened in 2009, on their farm at the junction of Clayburn Road and the Abbotsford-Mission Highway. Charlotte says the vision was to “combine the best of who Rob and I are as people:

lovers of quality food, and ambitious farmers, both with a passion for agri-culture.”

The community took a liking to the business and in 2010, and after just one year of operation, Lepp Farm Market won the award for Best New Business of the Year. “It was a truly humbling experience,” recalled Lepp of the win, “because it meant people were grasp-ing the concept of our organic mind-set.”

The market sells a wide variety of lo-cally grown fruits and veggies, and also features an on-site deli and bakery. They currently employ 41 full and part-time staff of whom Charlotte considers to be “one big hard-working family.”

With a four-part corporate code of “open and honest, win win, owning the problem, making a difference,” it is no wonder Nutriva Group has become a proven leader in the community of Abbotsford. Their innovative approach to healthy products won them the Ag-riculture and Agri-Business Excellence Award in 2010. As an insulin-depen-dent diabetic, Bill Vanderkooi made it his personal mission to introduce food products that embody natural nutrition. “More foods these days have negative health implications such as cancer, diabetes and heart failure due to obesity,” says Vanderkooi, “and I want our business to help change that.”

Being considered a leader in the agricultural industry in Abbotsford

gives the Nutriva Group a “huge sense of responsibility,” remarks Vanderkooi. “We were truly honoured to win the award, as it validates our hard work and makes it all worth the effort.” The Nutriva Group offers a wide range of services such as trucking and specialty ingredient distribution. However, Vanderkooi says they are now “focusing on the fi ne-tuning of their food operations.” They hope to launch a Vitamin D enhanced egg in January 2012. The egg will be the fi rst in Canada to contain 50% of the recommended daily vitamin intake.

“We have seen signifi cant growth in the company, and hope to take our new products to the international level,” says Vanderkooi. The future looks bright for Nutriva Group.

Considered a leaderBusiness is booming for broth-

ers Rick and Daryl Francoeur. Their vehicle customizing and collision service fi rm, 360 Fabrication Inc, is the largest custom one-stop shop in Western Canada, specializing in building concept cars for corporate companies, and overall vehicle resto-ration for the general public. Among their many successes, the fi rm was the recipient of the Service Industry Excellence Award in 2010 and co-owner Rick Francoeur says that “since then we have doubled our output and are working with some of the largest companies around.”

The brothers were shocked when they won the award because “compe-tition included some very reputable companies,” remarked Francoeur.

“Overall it was a very proud mo-ment for us. The award sits on a mantle in the offi ce.”

Last year was a highly successful year for 360 Fabrication. They moved to a facility at 31450 Peardonville Road, which is double the size of their previous location, and allows more focus on vehicle customization. They also reached an agreement with CARSTAR vehicle collision service that allows 360 to open nine more loca-tions throughout B.C.

Looking to the future, Rick Fran-coeur hopes to open an audio store in Chilliwack, and expand 360 to Calgary over the next couple of years.

“The growth of the company is important,” said Francoeur, “and we really see no sign of slowing down.”

No signs of slowing down

Brothers, Rick and Daryl, are proud recipients from 2010.

On Saturday afternoon at B.C. Place Stadium, Carter Williams and Jesse Neufeld combined for one of those plays that remind us why we love sports in the first place.

With just seven seconds re-maining in a first-round AA high school playoff game between the Abbotsford Collegiate Panthers and the Handsworth Royals of North Vancouver, the Panthers had the ball on their own 46 yard line with the score tied 31-31.

Williams, the Panthers’

quarterback, took the snap, reared back and heaved the ball downfield. His target was Neufeld, but the senior wide receiver was covered by two Handsworth defensive backs.

Both Royals leaped to swat away the ball, but both whiffed. The pigskin fell into Neufeld’s arms inside Handsworth’s 20 yard line, and he ran the ball into the end zone as time expired. The stunning 54-yard passing play – Neufeld’s third TD of the fourth quarter – lifted the Panthers a 37-31 victory.

“There’s no quit in the

guys,” Panthers coach Jay Fujimura marveled. “I knew that given the opportunity to win, they’d get the job done.”

The Panthers and Royals were tied 8-8 heading into the fourth quarter, but then the offences came alive. In the late going, Abby Collegiate held a 31-23 lead, but Handsworth marched down the field for a TD and got the two-point con-vert to knot the score.

That set the stage for the dramatic Williams-to-Neufeld connection.

“It’s a big win for the school,

Cascades win big at home

Dan KINVIGAbbotsford News

After a less-than-satisfactory performance on the road to open the Canada West basketball sea-son, home cooking seemed to work wonders for the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades.

Both UFV hoops squads bounced back from disappoint-ing performances at Thompson Rivers University the previous week, posting blowout wins over the Manitoba Bisons and Winnipeg Wesmen on home-opening weekend at the Envision Athletic Centre.

The Cascades women obliter-ated the Bisons 75-33 on Friday, and followed that up with a deci-sive 75-51 win over Winnipeg on Saturday.

The men were similarly domi-nant, blitzing Manitoba 101-76 and Winnipeg 89-69.

“I think it goes a long way

to building our confidence back up to where it needs to be again,” UFV women’s coach Al Tuchscherer summarized.

The Cascades women shot the ball extremely poorly in two loss-es at TRU, and while Tuchscherer wasn’t completely satisfied with their offensive execution on the weekend, shooting 48.3 per cent against Manitoba and 39.4 per cent against Winnipeg represent-ed a step in the right direction.

After cruising past the Bisons on Friday, the Cascades battled a solid Winnipeg squad to a 25-25 deadlock at the half on Saturday. UFV took over in the third quarter, though, out-scoring the guests 30-11 in the frame en route to victory.

“It was just a matter of time before our offence got going,” Tuchscherer noted. “At the half, I was X-ing and O-ing in up, and (assistant coach Anthony)

Luyken just said, ‘You know what, forget about the X’s and O’s. We need some energy here.’ They just needed to go out and play. And they did. Our energy level was way higher in the sec-ond half.”

The Cascades showcased a bal-anced attack against Manitoba, led by Sarah Wierks and Tessa Klassen with 11 points apiece.

In hockey, road trips are sup-posed to be difficult, but theAbbotsford Heat are handlingthem with ease.

The Heat reeled off three winsin a grueling three-games-in-three-nights stretch last week,improving to 8-1-0-0 on the roadthis season in the process.

The Heat opened the jauntwith a 5-3 victory over theHouston Aeros, and followedthat up with a pair of wins over the Texas Stars – 3-2 in a shootout on Friday, and 3-1 on Saturday.

The com-mon denomi-nator in all three wins was the strong play of forward Jon Rheaultand goalie Leland Irving.

Rheault scored twice in thewin over Houston and addedtwo more tallies in Saturday’svictory over the Stars. Thespeedy winger currently boastsa six-game point streak, a spanin which he has five goals andfour assists.

Irving was between thepipes for all three wins, and hewas particularly excellent onSaturday, turning aside 35 of36 Stars shots. His 10 wins leadthe AHL.

The Heat got more good newson Monday, as Krys Kolanosput pen to paper on a new AHLcontract with the local club.

Another upset win for UFV v-ballers

One week after knocking off the top-ranked team in the nation, the University of the Fraser Valley women’s volleyball team added a win over a No. 2-ranked squad to their burgeoning re-sumé.

On Friday, the Cascades defeated the Capilano Blues, ranked second in the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA), in four sets. Jenna Evans led the way with 12 kills and 22 digs, while Kayla Bruce chipped in with 10 kills.

The Blues came back on Saturday to salvage a split, winning in five sets. UFV sits at 8-2 on the season, while

Capilano is 7-1.“We knew we had

to be at our best to beat our best to take them down,” said Cascades coach Dennis Bokenfohr, whose team is ranked No. 8 in the CCAA after beating former No. 1 Vancouver Island University last week-end. “Through the first two sets we controlled the play and the girls were executing the game plan as well as can be expected.”

The Cascades men’s volleyballers (4-6) fol-lowed a similar script, beating Capilano on Friday before fall-ing Saturday. Aaron Flanagan’s 19 kills paved the way for

box, after his initial profes-sional tryout (PTO) contract with the team expired the pre-vious day. That caused con-sternation among Heat fans,

who were concerned the dy-namic scorer might elect to sign elsewhere.

Kolanos, coming off microf-racture hip surgery that had sidelined him since January

2010, attended Heat trainingcamp on a tryout basis andsigned the PTO on Oct. 12.

Kolanos has 13 points (sevengoals, six assists) in sevengames with the Heat.

paced the offence against Winnipeg, while rookie forward Kayli Sartori notched a double-double with 13 points and eight re-bounds.

The UFV men, ranked No. 8 in the na-tion, had coughed up a 21-point third-quar-ter lead the previous Saturday at Thompson Rivers. They made sure that didn’t hap-pen at home, bearing down in the second half both nights.

Joel Friesen led the charge against Manitoba with a ri-diculously efficient offensive performance – he scored 24 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field, including 5-of-6 from three-point range.

Against Winnipeg, post players Jasper Moedt and Mike James stepped into the lead-ing roles. Moedt (8-for-10) and James (7-for-10) combined for 35 points on 75 per cent shooting from the field. Their offensive play was par-ticularly pivotal in the third quarter, when the Wesmen made a 15-2 run to trim a 19-point UFV lead to six. The Cascades responded by pounding the ball inside.

“That was a scary 15-2 run they went on, but we were able to answer,” head coach Barnaby Craddock noted. “We got the ball back in to Jasper and Mike, and they were able to finish. It’s a set-tling influence to get a few layups.”

The UFV basket-ball teams are at home again this weekend, and they host the UBC-Okanagan Heat on Friday (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m.) and Saturday (women 5 p.m., men 7 p.m.).

Cascades host UBC-O this week

Friday’s straight-sets victory.

In other PACWest volleyball action, a record-setting perfor-mance by Jill Retzlaff powered the Columbia Bible College Bearcats women to a weekend sweep of the Douglas College Royals.

Retzlaff, a rookie outside hitter out of MEI, tallied a school-record 31 kills to lead the Bearcats to an epic five-set win on Friday. The CBC women made

short work of the Royals in Saturday’s rematch, winning in straight sets to im-prove to 5-5 in confer-ence play.

The Bearcats men, ranked No. 5 in the na-tion, were on the wrong

end of a sweep, falling both nights to the No. 9-ranked Royals.

The CBC basket-ball teams opened the PACWest regular sea-son in Prince George on Friday, and both teams suffered blow-

out losses to the UNBC Timberwolves.

The Bearcats men fell 94-42, while the women were bounced 119-47.

The CBC hoop-sters host their home openers this week-

end at Columbia Place. They face the Camosun Chargers on Friday (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m.), and the Vancouver Island University Mariners on Saturday (women 1 p.m., men 3 p.m.).

Hawks, ’Canes victoriousfor the program,” Fujimura said. “It’s a big deal, going to B.C. Place and getting that first playoff win under their belt. But by no means do I think the guys are satisfied with that. We’re going to see how far we can take this.”

Williams completed 16 of 26 passes for 268 yards and three TDs, while Dillon McGuire found the end zone twice for the Panthers – once through the air, once on the ground.

The Panthers have a tough task in the AA quarter-finals, as they take on the No. 1-ranked and unde-feated John Barsby

Bulldogs of Nanaimo (Friday, 3 p.m., UBC).

W.J. MOUAT 31, TERRY FOX 0

In AAA action, the No. 2-ranked W.J. Mouat Hawks started slowly against the Terry Fox Ravens of Port Coquitlam on Friday. But the Ravens couldn’t slow the dy-namic pitch-and-catch duo of QB Daniel Markin and receiver Deion Bain for long.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Hawks got rolling. Markin threw two of his three TD passes on the day to Bain, who finished with a team-high five catches for 95 yards. David Park also caught a scoring pass

from Markin, while running back Devin Logan added a 60-yard TD scamper.

Afterward, Hawks bench boss Denis Kelly lauded the Bain’s big-play ability.

“Deion’s got a set of skills that are very unique for a high school kid,” he noted. “He’s got the ability to go by you deep, and he’s also very good at fighting for the ball in traffic.”

The Hawks travel to the Okanagan this Saturday to take on the Kelowna Owls (Saturday, 2 p.m.) in the quarter-finals.

HANSEN 28, SEAQUAM 16

The Rick Hansen

Hurricanes are awful-ly glad that Alex Ho isa quick healer.

Ho, the Hurricanes’Grade 10 quarterback,suffered a crackedfemur during agame against MountBoucherie on Sept. 16.The injury was thoughtto be season-ending,but he recovered ontime for Hansen’splayoff opener and ledthem to a surprisingwin over the SeaquamSeahawks of Delta.

The Seahawks hadtrounced Hansen 33-6earlier in the season,but Ho threw for 220yards and a touchdownpass to Sukh Dhaliwaland rushed for anoth-er major on Saturday.Jordon Gmur ranfor three TDs, whileHarpreet Dhaliwalchipped in with twointerceptions.

“We weren’t antici-pating Alex comingback at all this season,”Hansen coach PaulGill admitted. “It wasan early Christmaspresent for us.”

The Hurricanes ad-vance to face Interiorchamp VernonSecondary (Friday, 5:30p.m., UBC).

HUGH BOYD 14, BATEMAN 13

In the aftermathof his team’s lossto Hugh Boyd ofRichmond, BatemanTimberwolves coachRick MacDonald point-ed out that a loss isstill a loss, whether byone point or by 40.

But some losses area little more painful,and the T-Wolves’ de-feat on Friday fell intothat category.

Trailing 14-7 late inthe fourth quarter,Bateman marcheddown the field andwere poised to knotthe score after JordenBest busted loose fora 35-yard TD run.But Boyd’s DanielChernov blocked RickyVanbugnum’s kick forthe extra point.

A f t e r w a r d ,MacDonald was leftto mull over whetheror not he should havecalled for a two-pointconvert instead.

“There was some dis-cussion about that,” hesaid. “A lot of thingscan go wrong when youhave to snap the ball,place the ball, kick theball. Not as much cango wrong when youhand the ball off.”

2012 Nissan Altima maintains strong sales momentum

FAVOURITE MOVIE: BRIDGE TOO FAR

HOBBIES: COLLECTINGHARDCOVERNOVELS

With a choice of two powerful, effi cient engines, the Nissan Altima Sedan is perfectly positioned for today’s driving environment – maintaining its position as the best selling individual model in the Nissan lineup. Yet as Altima enters the sixth year of its refi ned fourth generation design, it may be its reputation for quality and value that has cemented its place among the leaders in mid-size sedan sales and segment share.

For 2012, Altima Sedan is again available in three well-equipped models designed to appeal to a broad range of buyer needs and budgets – the 2.5 CVT and 2.5 S CVT featuring a 175-horsepower 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder and the 3.5 SR CVT with a standard 270-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine. For 2012, the Altima Sedan exterior again stands out against a fi eld of conservative mid-size sedans with its distinctive, iconic, sporty design. It offers a “dynamic simplicity” with an aggressive stance, distinctive Nissan “T-shaped” grille, powerful front fenders, strong wedge character line, forward A-pillars and Nissan-family roofl ine.

2012 NISSAN ALTIMA HYBRID

2012 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE

In 2011, Altima Hybrid continues to offer the effi ciency and fuel economy of a hybrid drivetrain with the performance and excitement typical of any Altima, combining true driving pleasure, distinctive and sporty design and a quality-crafted interior with excellent fuel mileage.

The advanced energy drive system shares duties between the gasoline-powered 4-cylinder and the emissions-free electric motor – allowing Altima Hybrid to run solely on electric power.

The 2-door Nissan Altima Coupe offers high quality and high value – while adding an extra touch of aggressive coupe styling for Altima customers seeking a more personal expression of individuality and sporty appearance. The Altima Coupe’s unique exterior design stands out in a crowd of sedan-based 2-door models with its magnetic, perfectly proportioned styling. The smaller size and lighter overall weight also contribute to the Coupe’s sportier driving feel.
