“Stay home” was the advicefrom Abbotsford Police asdrivers slipped and slid off
snow-blown roads in the community’sprairie regions Wednesday.
“If drivers have to be out, their vehi-cles should be equipped with snowtires, and have a cell phone with afully charged battery,” said Const. IanMacDonald.
E a r l y i n t h e d a y, p o l i c e a n dAbbotsford Fire Rescue crews col-
lected stranded motorists from roadson Sumas Prairie as drifting snow andnear-zero visibility brought many driv-ers to a halt.
“We did have a lot of activity withstranded motorists between 8 and 10
a.m.,” said Abbotsford Deputy FireChief Dale Unrau Wednesday after-noon. Motorists were taken to UpperSumas Elementary School for tem-porary shelter until rides could bearranged, he said.
An arctic front and gusting windsbattered the Fraser Valley, causingwhiteout conditions along the Trans-Canada Highway between Abbotsfordand Chilliwack.

The Abbotsford Police Depart-ment may be posting a signifi-
cant surplus when its 2011 budgetis finalized in February.
According to a budget reportmade at the Abbotsford PoliceBoard meeting on Tuesday, theAPD is predicting it may have asmuch as $600,000 to tuck away fora rainy day.
Deputy Chief Len Goerke saidthat the final numbers around thesurplus have yet to be determined,but that the bulk of the expectedsavings were derived from moneythe APD didn’t spend on salaries.
The APD had been sett ingmoney aside in both 2010 and 2011to cover anticipated cost increasesassociated with negotiating a newcontract with its police officers,said Goerke.
“But in the end, the contract wassettled at less than what was setaside,” he said.
Ultimately, the police board willmake the final determination asto where the money will go, butgenerally surpluses are directedto an operating reserve used tofund large-scale investigations toprotect public safety, said Goerke.
At this moment the APD reservefund is sitting at $1.1 million.
The money acts as an insurancefund for unexpected, complexcriminal cases or large events thatcould kibosh the department’sannual budget, said Goerke.
Such cases can often involveundercover officers, wiretaps, andlots of overtime.
One such case – in which theAbbotsford Police ran a covertinvestigation to snare arsonistswho targeted local businessmanPaul Esposito and set fire to threeof his establishments causingmore than $9 million in damages– cost the APD more than $1million.
It’s not uncommon for a majorinvestigation to cost as much as$1/2 million or $750,000.
The predicted 2011 savingsfollow a surplus of $438,000 theyear prior.

Heavy snow inspired some unusual team-work on Monday, when Mainland Sand
& Gravel workers drove Abbotsford Fire Res-cue members up the north side of SumasMountain that morning to attend to an emer-gency call.
Emergency responders headed to themountain, but the ambulance couldn’t makeit past Page Road where it turned up themountain.
Although Sumas Mountain Road was plo-wed, the full-size fire engine also had to stoppart-way up the steep, slippery route, saiddeputy chief Dale Unrau.
“It was chained up but there was deep pow-dery snow on top of ice,” he said.
Still two kilometres from the destination,two Mainland Sand & Gravel employees cameto the firefighters’ aid and gave them a rideto the patient’s home in their chained-up4x4 truck.
“Then the FRS team walked more than 400metres to where the house was through knee-deep snow with all their medical equipmentto get primary care to the patient,” Unrausaid.By this time, several Central Fraser Val-ley Search & Rescue members came to helpthe four firefighters transport the patient in abasket stretcher on a wheel to the search andrescue Suburban on the road, said Unrau.
The call came in at 9:43 a.m. and ER teamsfinally got the patient to the B.C. Ambulanceteam waiting at the end of Page Road at 2:30p.m., said Unrau. The man was then takenwithout incident to Abbotsford RegionalHospital.
However, the fire engine didn’t make it
down until road conditions improved onWednesday.
“Mainland Sand & Gravel kept it in theirshed overnight. We didn’t get it down until4:30 p.m. (Tuesday),” said Unrau.
On Wednesday, the fire department initia-ted the first level of its emergency operationscentre to handle the variety and number ofcalls coming in.
While it was quiet as far as fires go, early inthe day, Abbotsford fire service crews werecalled to Sumas Prairie to attend to motorvehicle accidents, which turned out to bestranded motorists, he said.
“Our crews, as well as police, transportedmotorists to Upper Sumas School, where theycould get rides arranged,” Unrau said.
He cautioned residents that due to roadconditions, emergency crews may take longerthan usual to respond to calls.
Winter’s blast this week has affected someother local services as well.
The Meals on Wheels service in Missionsuspended its regular deliveries on Mondayand Wednesday to its 20 clients, althoughregular service is expected to resume byFriday, said Mission Community Servicesexecutive director Tony Lapointe.
Some other MCS seniors programs,s u c h a s r i d e s t o m e d i c a l a p p o i n t -ments, have been suspended as volun-teers have been asked to stay home.Lapointe noted that the district’s emergencyshelter system, which can hold up to 20 peo-ple, is operating, in addition to its first stageshelter for the homeless.
“We do have enough capacity to shelterpeople from the cold if necessary,” he said.

Fee for service groups in Mission won’tsee any reduction in their funding inthe coming year as the council aims
to reduce municipal spending by up to 10per cent in most departments, including theRCMP.
The mayor said he has already signed acheque for Fraser River Heritage Park’s ope-rations and he’s assured individuals in the artscommunity their budgets will stay at 2011levels. But none of the ten or so groups willbe seeing any increases this year.
However, the council has directed themunicipality’s financial staffto bring in a preliminary bud-get that is 90 per cent of the2011 operating expendituresin most departments.
The belt-tightening inclu-des the Mission RCMP, saidMayor Ted Adlem.
“In fairness to the folks thatelected us I think they carethat we follow through withour word,” he said, referringto a campaign promise tocontrol municipal spendingand hold the line on tax increases.
However, hitting the target of a 10 per centin savings across the board won’t be likely,Adlem admitted.
The district must honour increases inlabour contracts and a renewed deal withthe West Coast Express, he said.
Public works is also exempt from the bud-get reducing exercise. The first interim financereport should come to the public financecommittee today.
“We’ll have to see where we sit when thenumbers come in,” he said. “I’ll be very happyif we end up with zero (budget increase).”
District services reviewprocess moves ahead
The council is also working on anothercampaign promise, a core services review.
Terms of reference for the core servicesreview task force were verified at the Jan. 9council hearing.
Finance director Ken Bjorgaard will nowcomplete the parameters forthe core services review tobe done by an outside firm,and will bring the draft to thecouncil on Jan. 23.
If approved then, a requestfor proposals will go out thatweek, he said. A successfulcandidate should be hiredby March 12, said Bjorgaard,and their report should becomplete by June 13.
All municipal spendingand ser vices are on the
table, except for community programs, saidAdlem.
“I don’t think we’ll be touching any publicprograms. We’re dealing with the functions ofmunicipal government,” Adlem said.
Before the terms of reference for the reviewtask force were approved, Coun. Jeff Jewel
suggested that a revised preamble be inclu-ded. He said wanted to ensure residents knowwhy the review was called and to put it intocontext.
Coun. Jennie Stevens cautioned the lesspolitically neutral preamble was not appro-priate for a government document.
“I appreciate the intent behind the pro-posed amendment but . . . I don’t really feelit’s appropriate to have this, frankly a verypolitical statement,” she said.
However, Coun. Dave Hensman supportedJewel’s amendment.
“I like it. People tend to forget why we’redoing this,” he said.
The amendment passed unanimously.In part the new preamble reads:
“All of the newly elected council ran asmembers of the Citizens for ResponsibleMunicipal Government, pledging to holdthe line on spending and taxes, and promi-sing to undertake a core services review asa guide to achieving tax relief and financialsustainability.
With a strong electoral mandate, councilis now moving to fulfill this commitment byinitiating a study to examine the organizationto ensure that the district’s services/programsand structure are as efficient and cost-effec-tive as possible and at the same time areaddressing the needs and financial realities ofMission’s citizens and taxpayers. In pursuit ofthese objectives council is undertaking a coreservices review.”

With the hustle of the holidays adistant but fond memory, you maybe looking forward to a trip south toavoid the worst of winter. It may bea quick jaunt in search of sun andsand, or an extended visit to savoursome rest and relaxation. Short stopor long stay, there are a few travelinsurance considerations you shouldkeep in mind when preparing foryour trip.
The most important thing toremember is that travel insuranceprotects you againstmany circumstancesthat may not becovered by yourgovernment healthpolicy, and providescoverage in emergencymedical situations. Thatmeans travel insuranceis supplemental toyour provincial healthcare policy, and it doesnot cover your continuing care orcheck-ups. Once the emergency istaken care of, the coverage for thatparticular condition or conditionsrelated to it is ended.
To get the most out of yourtravel insurance policy, you shouldtake care to complete a medicalhealth questionnaire as accuratelyas possible if you are asked tosubmit one. Travel insurance ratesare determined by several factors,including age and health, and anyexisting health condition that is notdeclared will not be covered by yourinsurance or a substantial deductiblemay be imposed. We recommendthat you consult your physician if
you are unsure about any of thehealth conditions or the status ofyour health.
While base policies don’t typicallyprovide coverage for unstablepre-existing health conditions, BCAATravel Insurance offers you theoption to purchase additionalcoverage. In general, if a conditionhas been treated by a physician,or has required a change ofmedication within a certain periodof time (specified in the definitions
of the policy you’reresearching orpurchasing), it will beconsidered unstableand not covered.
Finally, before yougo, always reviewpolicy details to ensureyour coverage meetsyour needs and payparticular attention tothe related definitions
to ensure you have coverage foryour unique situation.
Having the right travel insurance isequally as important as choosing theright vacation destination. Whetheryou’re travelling on a short stop ora long stay, you can relax and focuson enjoying yourself knowing youhave taken care to protect yourself.Purchasing the right travel insurancecoverage from BCAA before you gomight be the best travel accessoryyou bring along on your nextvacation.
Pack some peace-of-mind.

How would you like to move into ahome that comes with complete with
a community of friends of all ages, gardensto share and a safe place for your kids toplay?
The concept is called co-housing and theYarrow Ecovillage is one such place. Thecommunity is now looking forothers to join their collabora-tive neighbourhood.
You can find out more thisFriday night, when its mem-bers host a talk at the Univer-sity of the Fraser Valley withCharles Durrett, who withKathryn McCamant createdthe co-housing concept andwrote Creating Cohousing.
The alternative co-housing village wasfirst established in Yarrow about 10 yearsago, and had really matured in the lasttwo years, said Ecovillage resident TamaraBonnemaison.
Cohousing is a form of resident-designedliving that aims to provide residents with astrong sense of community, she said.
“It’s like a regular strata development. Weown our homes outright. Where it startsto get different is that the community andbuildings were designed by the (founding)residents before construction,” she said.
Their wishes and the environmental-friendly design ideas were handed over to
professional architects for finishing, andthen began many years of successfullyapplying for rezoning, she said.
Today the site on Yarrow Central Roadin Yarrow, a village about half hour east ofAbbotsford, is home to about 30 adults and19 children, including some seniors.
It includes a 28-unit co-housing project,two original farmhouses, a “village” centre,seniors housing, a learning centre, barnsand an organic farm.
Residents get together three times a weekfor a communal dinnerand socializing, and eachhomeowner is responsiblefor making that dinnerabout once a month, saidBonnemaison, who lives inthe village with her partnerand two young boys.
T h e re’s r a re l y a d u l lmoment, especially with19 kids on site, she said.
“It gets a bit crazy but we have a lot offun,” she said.
Bonnemaison, her partner and two otherfarming couples tend the farm, growing 60different fruits and vegetables, which theysell through the Vancouver Farmers’ Marketnetwork throughout the year.
Yarrow Ecovillage holds various talks thatare open to the public. The next is this Fri-day (Jan. 20) at 7 p.m. at the UFV Abbotsfordcampus main lecture hall in building B, at33844 King Rd., Abbotsford. Bring changefor parking. Refreshments provided.

The Abbotsford/Mission Timesis a division of LMP PublicationLimited Partnership.We’re published Tuesdays andThursdays from 30887Peardonville Rd., Abbotsford, B.C.
It has been said many timesthat there is nothing worse
than a reformed smoker.Mostly, it’s smokers who say it.But, hey! No matter who says
it, there is nothing more musicalto the ears of a crusty old news-paper editor than to hear thatthere’s nothing worse than him.
Yep. I am a reformed smoker.I gave up the evil weed 36
years ago.That’s about a half-dozen
years before I could have takenadvantage of the moral supportof National Non-Smoking Week .. . which is this week, for the 30thtime.
When I stopped smoking– after several tries, some lastinga couple of months or more – Irelied on the help of a girlfriend.
She told me something had togo: either the smokes, or her.
I dumped the habit, and twoweeks later, she dumped me– and there was no way I wasever going to give her the satis-faction of seeing me with a ciga-rette hanging from my mouthafter that.
Kicking the cancer sticks worksdifferently for different people.
It’s seldom easy.At 2:30 in the afternoon on
Feb. 4, 1976, I tossed into thenearest garbage can a pack thatstill had six cigarettes in it.
(A friend fished them out, ask-ing if I minded if he took them.I said, “No, go ahead, catch can-cer, if you like.” He said, “Anyonecan quit smoking; it takes a MANto face cancer.”)
I attribute my success in stop-ping (not “quitting”: you can’tquit, you can only stop, andhope it never catches you back)to two things.
First was my pride. As I notedabove, I wasn’t going to let my“ex” think I was too weak to stayoff the cancer sticks without her.
Second was tossing those sixsmokes in the trash. All my ear-lier attempts started with mesaying, “As soon as this pack isfinished . . .”
Chucking those six valuablecigarettes constituted a commit-ment.
No, three things:Third was the escalating cost
of cigarettes. Within a coupleof days of my last smoke, theprice had escalated to a whop-ping 65 cents for a pack of 20– three quarters (an astounding75 cents) to buy them from avending machine . . . speakingof which, whatever happenedto those vending machines thatwere absolutely everywhere?
As I had been smoking a packand a half a day (which increasedevery time I started up againafter “quitting”), that was turninginto serious bread for a univer-sity student.
No, four things:Fourth was my dad’s pride.
He was so obviously, incrediblyproud of me for breaking thehabit, that I couldn’t have hadthe heart to let him down.
As a smoker himself, he knewhow difficult stopping can be.
I know some smokers will go“Aha! Your dad’s a smoker, andyou’ve said he’s now 97 years old!How unhealthy can it be, afterall, eh?”
Sorry to rain on your smoke,folks, but apart from there beingoccasional anomalies to the sta-tistical reality, dad’s another of usex-smokers. He quit – and there’sa hilarious story to go with that,for another day – way back in the1960s.
And there’s a fifth thing thatkept me from starting up again,despite the intense cravings(and nightmares on the eve ofeach anniversary of my successsince then, nightmares in whichI discover that I’ve been sneak-ing puffs all along). It took aboutsix months to really notice thechange . . . but my general healthhad improved dramatically.
Now there is a lot more helpfor those who want to stopsmoking than there was (herecomes the old man line!) . . .back in my day.

■ Bob Groeneveld is the editor ofthe Langley Advance.
Some laws should be changedbecause they should never havebeen made.
Others should be changed because theywere made at a time when they madesense . . . but times change.
The federal ban on reporting electionresults while polls remain open in someparts of the Canada is a fine example ofthe latter.
Under current federal law governingfederal general elections, it is illegal toreport ballot counts, party standings, win-ners and losers . . . anything that couldbe construed as “election results” fromeastern Canada until after the polls closein British Columbia.
It makes sense, because the results ofeastern voters’ choices could colour deci-sion-making by western voters – knowingwhat the other guys did could be con-strued as an advantage for the west (or adisadvantage, for purists who feel votersshould make their decisions based onpersonal choices, rather than respondingto a pack mentality).
It should simply be a question of fair-ness for all voters.
But it’s not. The problem is timing – it’sabout time zones.
Polling times are already delayed in theeast and moved up in the west, to try andsynchronize voting periods.
But Canada is a big country, and youcan push that solution only so far. Con-sequently, there still is a lag between pollhours on opposite coasts.
While “legitimate” news media in Can-ada are forced to adhere to the ban, inter-national news sources, especially someradio stations in the United States thattraditionally capitalized on the Canadianban, were not bound by any such rules,and slipped election results to B.C. intime for voters here to take the informa-tion to the polling booths.
And now the realities of Facebook, Twit-ter, other social media, and even virtuallyinstantaneous email and the simplicityof texting, have rendered the ban com-pletely obsolete.
This is one thing the “Harper Govern-ment” is doing right.

THE TIMES THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 2012 ❘ LETTERS ❘ A9
Editor, the Times:Regarding the letter to
the editor ‘Temple art didn’tReach him’, Times, Jan. 12.
Art is something that ispersonal and subjective.
The beauty or artistic val-ue is based on who’s lookingat the art, and how muchthey value that particularpiece. No two people willlove or even like the sameart – that’s the idea.
Music is a good example.Some people love opera,classical, and rock, whileothers love jazz, blues, andfolk. The fact that I like ordislike a specific musicgenre in no way makes itbetter or worse.
If you decide you like hiphop, rap, and disco to theexclusion of everything else,should we get rid of all theother music just becauseyou don’t like it?
Abbotsford has manypeople groups, all of whomwould prefer to have whatthey like or want, usually tothe exclusion of anythingelse. You can vote with yourfeet by either attendingor not attending differentfunctions, including TheReach, depending on whatyour interests are.
But please don’t be so nar-row in the way you view theworld and your neighboursto believe that everyoneelse believes, likes, and feelsexactly the way you do.
Instead of stating thatyou have visited the Reachexactly twice since it’sopened, and based on youviewing two exhibits feelit’s a waste of money, youshould maybe at least checkout what they have had.
The Reach has had inexcess of 60 different exhib-its, including the art of Emi-ly Carr, native works, Sikhhistorical compilations, CPRpaintings from a privateowner – these all have valueto someone, and shouldimpress most. Starting thismonth etchings by Goya willbe on display, loaned to usfrom the National Galleryof Canada. Maybe insteadof railing on the city for
trying to provide a venuethat expands our horizons,voice an opinion (construc-tively) to the people who areinvolved with bringing inthe future exhibits.
The fact that Abbotsfordwith a population of 150,000has a museum that isallowed to house some ofthe pieces they have on dis-play is amazing.
Its mission is to exhibitboth art and history througha variety of exhibitions.
More than 60,000 peoplehave visited The Reach sinceit opened, which tells methat one or two actuallyappreciate what it has tooffer.
The blessing of our soci-ety is that regardless of howyou feel, you’re entitled tovoice your opinion, whichyou have. I am now voicingmine. I think we are fortu-nate to have The Reach inour community, and allowour children exposure tothings that previous to itsarrival involved a bus trip toVancouver at a considerableexpense.
The fact that admission isfree is a bonus.

Not so sure about ‘nosex in heaven’ letter
Editor, the Times:Re: Letter by Gwen
Woods, Get it right: there’sno sex in heaven (Jan. 10).
Gwen Woods’ commentsabout Islam’s supposedviews on Jesus were skewedand requires correction.
In particular, her asser-tion that, according toIslamic teachings, “whenJesus returns he will saythat he was not crucified,that he has converted toIslam, and that his purpose
on returning is to kill allChristians and Jews,” is notonly completely baselessbut patently false.
There was only oneJesus Christ, so to arguethat Muslims believe in a“different” Jesus is quiteabsurd.
Jesus is indeed men-tioned nearly 100 timesacross 15 different Suras inthe Qur’an and always withthe utmost reverence.
In fact, the Qur’anascribes a greater numberof important titles to Jesusthan any other figure men-tioned within it. No othernon-Christian faith grantsas much prominence toJesus as does Islam.
And contrary to Ms.Woods’ fallacious claim,Islam teaches that Jesuswill be a unifying figurewhose return will usher inan era of peace and justice.
Clearly there exist dis-tinctions between Islamand Christianity, par-ticularly with issues sur-rounding the ‘divinity’ and‘crucifixion’ of Jesus.
Despite our differences,however, the Christianunderstanding of Jesusdoes not diminish mineas a Muslim, and neithershould my beliefs diminishor threaten anyone else’s.God will be the ultimatejudge.
There are many points ofcommon ground betweenChristians and Muslims,which can help buildbridges.
Certainly, we can allcoexist harmoniously if webuilt upon the issues weagreed upon and respectedone another’s beliefswithout resorting to mud-slinging over contrastinginterpretations.

Old ladies not likelyto like this approach
Editor, the Times:I couldn’t believe what
I was reading (‘Cops crackdown on theft by fining driv-ers’, Times, Jan. 5).
A fine for leaving my keysin my car? Really? Let’s seehow ridiculous this line ofthinking is when we applythat logic (and fine) to frailold ladies for carrying theirpurse carelessly on theirshoulder.
Would that mean thatthey’re to blame for theirpurse being snatched?
Or would we considersomething punitive to handto women sporting cleavageand Lulu tights for causingsexual assault crimes?
Of course not, so let’s notlose sight of who’s doingthe crime here.
It bothers me that ourauthorities want to take theeasy way out and punishthe victim for their naivety,stupidity, or trust in others.
In this case, a quick edu-cational chat by the officerwould do.
But no doubt ICBC keepspushing the feet of policeforces toward the fire to dosomething about reducingthe corporate cost of autotheft.
One of the perils of social-ized insurance is (its) abilityto create and justify suchdistorted acts of socialpolicy. I was stunned to readthat the Motor Vehicle ActSection 191 (2) already hasa provision that allows thepolice to enforce this fine.
However as the old sayinggoes, and the police shouldknow this all too well: justbecause you can doesn’tmean you should.
Thanks, but I’d ratherpay for the related costswith my ICBC premiumthan pay to have this lineof thinking further erodeour personal freedoms andthe rights of victims in oursociety.

In Abbotsford, Meals onWheels has been able to deli-ver hot meals to its 35 clientsthis week despite the snow,said Nancy Deba, coordina-tor for the program.
“Despite the weather, we’regetting the meals out. We had
a big fundraiser in December,we raised $1,000, for snowtires for the van, and boy,am I glad we did. We’re outthere driving,” said Deba. Sheand another staff worker andspouses were delivering thefood, as the mostly seniorvolunteer drivers had beenasked to stay at home.
However, since the hotmeals are supplied by EliteMeals in Chilliwack, the ser-vice deliver three days worthof meals onWednesday, Debasaid.

runs parallel to the United States border.Police said Santini’s Chevrolet Cavalier was travelling at a
high rate of speed when it hit the speed bump and lost control,rolling over numerous times and breaking a utility pole inthree places before coming to rest upside-down in the middleof Boundary Road, on the U.S. side of the border.
Newson was the front-seat passenger and was ejected fromthe car. She suffered head injuries and died a week later inhospital.
The three other young women, aged 20, 17 and 15, fromMission and Langley, were injured, along with Santini.
Newson’s mother, Barb Wilson, posted on a memorial Face-book site that the plea was a long time coming.
A pre-sentence report with a psychiatric component hasbeen ordered in advance of sentencing, which is scheduledfor April 20 in Vancouver.
DRIVER, from page A1
Lost control hitting speed bump
highway along the Sumas Prairie faced poor visibility due toblowing snow, the result of northeasterly gusts of up to 60km/hr.
Snow drifted across portions of the freeway and Sumasand Matsqui Prairie roads, blocking access and makingthe roads difficult to see.
The same conditions applied in flat rural stretches eastof Mission.
Environment Canada issued a weather warning for theFraser Valley, for strong arctic outflow winds and chillytemperatures.
The thermometer hovered around –13 C in the morn-ing, with a wind chill of –24 C. The high for the day wasexpected to be –11 C.
Abbotsford Police closed Whatcom Road to Vye Roadmid-morning due to a collision near the intersection ofthe two roads and restricted access to Vye Road east ofSumas Way due to whiteout conditions.
Drivers tried to use the country road as an alternative tothe TransCanada Highway east of Abbotsford, but visibilitywas poor across Sumas Prairie.
“It’s bumper to bumper on Vye Road and it’s superslow,” said MacDonald. Police officers were out in thedepartment’s dozen or so 4x4 vehicles attending to thecrash and other patrols.
Whiteout conditions also prevailed on Highway 11between Abbotsford and Mission as it crosses MatsquiPrairie.
A few vehicles slid off the highway as a result, or because“their summer tires have finally caught up with them,”MacDonald said.
Abbotsford and Mission public schools were open at thestart of the day, but due to the wind, Abbotsford districtclosed Matsqui Elementary, Upper Sumas Elementary, andBarrowtown Elementary.
In Mission, school bus routes #3 and #4 were not in ser-vice due to mechanical issues. Drivers were warned to useextra caution on the roads and watch for school children.Parents are advised to keep an eye on district websites asconditions may change tomorrow.
HandyDart was running essential services only.Bus services resumed in Mission and Abbotsford yester-
day but users are advised to call the transit office at 604-852-5902 or 604-854-3232 or to check the website at www.bctransit.com/regions/cfv for current information.

Abbotsford and Mission residents and firefighters resorted to blowers, snowshoes and shovels to deal with the heavy snowfall.

Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.) were first usedas food as early as 3,500 BC and were one
of the mainstays of the Aztec and the Mayan diets.Chia seeds are so versatile that they were eaten asa grain, consumed as a beverage when mixed withwater, ground into flour, included in medicines,pressed for oil and used as a base for face and bodypaints. Chia was so highly valued for its nutritionaland hydrating properties that it was used as a formof currency.This superseed is the highest-plant based
source of omega-3 (ALA) at 19.3 percent andis naturally rich in soluble fibre, protein andantioxidants.This makes it a great whole food foranyone interested in improving their health andreducing their risk of illness.
What are the benefits of Omega-3 fats?Omega-3 fats are a group of polyunsaturated fats.Beyond reducing the risk of heart disease, omega-3s can reduce the risk of stroke while helping toreduce symptoms of hypertension, depression,attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),joint pain and other rheumatoid problems, as wellas certain skin ailments. Some research has shownthat omega-3s can boost the immune system andhelp protect from an array of illnesses includingAlzheimer’s disease.Omega-3s also play an important role in
brain functioning. Omega-3 fats are highlyconcentrated in the brain and appear to beimportant for cognitive (brain memory andperformance) and behavioural function.
Why the recent interest in increasing Omega-3?While omega-3s protect our hearts and fightinflammation, omega-6s are now the foundationof our modern food supply. Omega-6 fats competewith omega-3 fats for absorption and have led towidespread omega-3 deficiency. Symptoms of thisdeficiency include poor circulation, poor memory,fatigue, heart problems, mood swings or depression.While reducing your intake of omega-6s can
help, getting more omega-3s from food is aneven better way to go. The recommendation is toconsume two3-4ounce servings of fattyfish aweek,but it is suggested that this is not environmentallysustainable. We need to look to plant sources tomeet our global needs. These include chia seedsand flax seeds.

Chia is not just for petsWho knew that the Chia Pet of infomercial fame was actually good for you?As additional information about its health benefits come to light, the chiaseed is positioned to become a mainstream staple
Because of their nutritional value andstability, chia seeds are now beingadded to a range of foods. COBSBread, a Canadian bakery chain, offersfreshly baked white, whole wheat andflax chia seed breads. A large numberof COBS’ customers have switched
from the traditional bread range to thechia bread range since its launch lastJanuary. “People are very interested inupgrading to our CHIA Bread oncethey hear about all its health benefits”says Elise Gillespie, Vice President ofCOBS Bread. “The challenge is gettingthat message out to the general public.”
Ramona Josephson RD applaudsthese breads as exciting, healthyadditions to a daily diet and as apositive step in tackling serious healthconcerns related to heart disease andblood sugar control. Two slices ofCOBS CHIA Bread provide 100%of the daily intake of omega-3 fats
for children and women and 90% formen. They also provide up to 30%of the daily recommended intake ofdietary fibre. “Bread is a staple in somany of our diets and COBS’ newCHIA Breads make it easy to meetour daily needs for these nutrients,”Josephson adds.

A14 THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 2012 THE TIMES
By DAVID MORGANSTAFF WRITER
ICC will be placing ads in newspapers, radioand running television spots this week askingpeople to bring in any old silver and goldcoins made before 1968 and U.S. coins madebefore 1970. Those that bring in their coinswill be able to speak with collectors one on oneand have their coins looked at by a specialist.With the help of these ICC members, offers willbe made to those that have coins made before1968. Offers will be made based on silveror gold content and the rarity of the coins. Allcoins made before 1968 will be examined andpurchased including gold coins, silver coins,silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies.Those that decide to sell their coins will be paidon the spot.
If you are like a lot of people you might havea few old coins or even a coffee can full lyingaround. If you have ever wondered what theyare worth now might be your chance to find outand even sell them if you choose. They couldbe worth a lot according to the InternationalCoin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectorswill pay a fortune for some coins and currencyfor their collections. If it is rare enough, onecoin could be worth over $100,000 accordingto Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member.One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, soldfor a record $1.9 million to a collector in Julyof 2007. While that is an extreme example,many rare and valuable coins are stashedaway in dresser drawers or lock boxes aroundthe country. The ICC and its collector membershave organized a traveling event in search ofall types of coins and currency. Even commoncoins can be worth a significant amount due tothe high price of silver and gold, says Helms.Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes canbe worth many times their face value. Recentsilver markets have driven the price up oncommon coins made of silver. Helms explainsthat all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimesmade before 1970 contain 90% silver and aresought after any time silver prices rise. Rightnow it’s a sellers market he said.
The rarest coins these collectors are lookingfor include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 goldcoins and any coin made before 1850. Thesecoins always bring big premiums according tothe ICC. Silver dollars are also very soughtafter nowadays.
Other types of items the ICC will bepurchasing during this event include U.S.currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silverbars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreigncoins are sought after and will be purchased.
Also at this event anyone can sell their goldjewellery, dental gold or anything made ofgold on the spot. Gold is currently trading atrecord high prices. Bring anything you thinkmight be gold and the collectors will examine,test and price it for free. If you decide to sell,you will be paid on the spot – it has been anunknown fact that coin dealers have alwayspaid more for jewellery and scrap gold thanother jewelers and pawn brokers.
So whether you have one coin you thinkmight be valuable or a large collection yourecently inherited, you can talk to thesecollectors for free. If your’re lucky you may havea rarity worth thousands. Either way there isnothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

Once again The Reach Gal-lery Museum is introduc-ing local audiences to a
world-class artist and works thathave become key componentsin the development of modernwestern culture and thought.
Next week, the gallery opens its2012 season with the work of one ofthe great masters of the 19th cen-tury with Goya: The Disasters of Warand Los Caprichos, organized andcirculated by the National Gallery ofCanada.
“We are very hon-oured to be bringingin our first exhibitionfrom the NationalGallery of Canada andto have it generouslysponsored by Poly-gon Homes Ltd.,” saidSuzanne Greening,the executive direc-tor at The Reach.
B o t h M i c h a e lAudain, chairman ofthe board of directorsof the National Gal-lery of Canada, andNeil Chrystal, presi-dent and CEO of Poly-gon Homes will speak at the openingreception at 7 p.m. on Jan. 26.
“Polygon has a long history of sup-porting the arts in British Columbia,and we are extremely excited to con-tinue this tradition in Abbotsford,”said Chrystal. “In bringing the Goyaexhibition to The Reach, the localcommunity has a special opportu-nity to witness some remarkable artworks.”
Francisco Goya’s remarkable seriesof prints, The Disasters ofWar, detailsthe brutality and horror of the 19thcentury Peninsular War in Spain.
Though he worked a century ago,the sentiments Francisco Goya raised– the utter fruitlessness and wasteof human genius – will resonatewith audiences today. War is still aman-made phenomenon that hastouched many Canadians today in
some way.In his works, Goya combined tech-
niques with social commentary thatembodied the anti-war, humanitar-ian commentary of the time andreflects similar political and socialissues that we face in contemporarysociety. This exhibition also includesa rare bound edition of Goya’s satiri-cal prints, Los Caprichos.
The exhibit has inspired a peacesymposium, via a collaborationbetween The Reach and the Men-nonite Central Committee, thatexplores the nature of peace andthe relationship between art and
peace-making.For 20 years, MCC
has held an annualarts and peace festi-val, but its organizersare transforming thefestival into a series ofevents in order to reacha wider audience, saidJon Nofziger, peace anddevelopment educa-tion coordinator forMCC BC.
O n e o f t h e t h o s eevents will be Goya:Conversations on Warand Peace on Feb. 4,b e g i n n i n g a t n o o nwith a guided tour of
the exhibit and then followed by apanel discussion and conversationwith some Canada’s best known anti-military proponents at the MatsquiCentennial Auditorium, next doorto the gallery.
The keynote address will be givenby respected researcher and peacepromoter Ernie Regehr, the 2010Pearson Peace Award recipient anda co-founder of Project Plowshares,a non-denominational agency thatpromotes peace worldwide.
A watchdog of Canadian defencepolicy and author, Regehr will focuson The Nature of War Today.
Regehr will then join a panel dis-cussion on the Nature of Peace Todaywith Dr. Victoria Marie, a teacher,researcher and activist based inVancouver, and Dr. Saul Arbess, acultural anthropologist and co-chair-
man of the Canadian Department ofPeace Initiative.
The symposium ends with a con-versation between art historian andwriter Dr. Dorothy Barenscott andartist/writer Dick Averns who hastoured with the Canadian ArmedForces. The two will hold a conversa-tion that explores the question: Howdo cultural practitioners explore theissues of war and conflict?
“The intent of this symposium isto provide space for people to thinkoutside the box in relationship tomilitary intervention and peace-building,” said Nofziger. “Artisticexpression and exploring practicalexamples lend some beacon light tofacilitate thinking around possiblealternatives for peacebuilding.”
The symposium runs from noon
until 4:30 p.m., and is free and opento anyone who wishes to attend.Please RSVP by Jan. 27 to Kat Waha-maa at [email protected]

At just 19, Esther Cannon will work with TWU music professor David Squires as he composes aconcerto for the talented young artist, who was invited to perform this season with Winter Harp.
CHRISTINA TOTH
A19-year-old harpist from Lang-ley, Esther Cannon, has won theopportunity to have a concerto
written especially for her by Abbotsfordcomposer David Squires.
The piece will be performed by the TrinityWestern University Orchestra in 2013, afterSquires completes the composition nextyear.
The competition, held now for the secondtime by the university, invites student instru-mentalists from various disciplines, to audi-tion for Squires, the dean of TWU’s School ofthe Arts, Media and Culture.
Squires and other SAMC music professorsselected Cannon from several competitorsincluding pianists, wind and string playersas the soloist for a harp concerto.
Cannon, homeschooled and raised in Lang-ley, is in her third year of music studies atTWU, majoring in harp performance.
She has played the harp since she was 11years old.
Earlier this year Cannon was invited to playand tour with the internationally acclaimedWinter Harp, a professional ensemble thatperforms with harps, medieval instruments,voice and storytelling.
She has already performed 12 medievalChristmas performances with the ensemblethis season.
“Playing with an orchestra is so good for amusician’s development, because you learnto work as a team; performing a concertoeven more so because as a soloist, you func-tion like a leader. I can’t wait to get started,”said Cannon.
The music student will be actively involvedin the development of Squires’ composition,which he will write on his sabbatical thisspring.
Squires is equally excited to be working withher, adding that his concerto will highlightCannon’s unique strengths.
“As a composer who’s deeply committed toeducating and mentoring new generations ofmusicians, I relish the opportunity to write forstudents,” said Squires, who introduced theidea of the competition in 2006.
“Young musicians spend so much time withthe music of composers who are not present(long-deceased or geographically removed),”he said.
“It is a relatively rare experience to workalongside the composer towards the perfor-mance of a piece, especially when that piecehas been written for you in particular.”
This will be Squires’ fourth collaborationwith the TWU Orchestra.
Cannon’s harp concerto will premiere in thespring of 2013 as part of the TWU Orchestra’sregular season. For the latest SAMC news andevents, visit www.twu.ca/samc.

ROCHELLE BAKER
Abbotsford motocross and off-road racechampion Geoff Nelson has an aptpersonal motto:
“If you’re not scared you’re not going fastenough,” he says with a laugh.
Nelson, a reigning champ of the 2010 and2011 Canadian Enduro Champions E3, two-time silver medalist from International SixDays Enduro (ISDE) Event and more, is com-ing to the Vancouver Motorcycle Show start-ing today at Tradex.
Nelson will be showcasing his speed andtechnical skills in the KTM Enduro-X eventsthroughout show that runs Jan. 19 to 22.
Enduro-X racing, a mix between Supercrossand Extreme Enduro, is an adrenaline-fueled,obstacle-filled race that is not just about goingfast or having the best bike.
Geoff, who has been on dirt bikes andracing since he was a kid, is relativelynew to the sport, participating in theEnduroX at Montreal Supercross in 2009and 2010.
The sport’s popularity is skyrocketingin U.S. and growing in Canada, said thenewfound enthusiast.
The advantage of Enduro-X is that itpacks the speed, thrill and technicality ofoff-road racing into a closed environmentto the benefit of spectators, said Nelson,who rides a KTM 300 two-stroke bike.
“They bring a 100-kilometre courseinside and condense it all into a minute
lap,” he said.“There are a bunch of man-made obsta-
cles that are difficult to navigate, andyou ride through them as fast as you canwithout crashing.”
Nelson, who demonstrated Enduro-X atthe motorcycle show at Tradex a couple ofyears ago, said the crowd loves the sport.
“It’s pretty action-packed,” he said.“It brings people in who might be inter-
ested in the sport, but may not have off-
road bikes.”Indoors and out, Nelson considers him-
self fortunate to never have suffered anyserious racing injuries.
“I’ve sprained some fingers and brokesome ribs but I haven’t broken a leg oranything. Knock on wood.”
At 27 years, Nelson finds he’s becomingthe elder statesman of the circuit.
“I’m getting to be the old guy now,” hesays with a laugh.
But that’s not blunting his competitiveedge, even during the what’s only a dem-onstration match at Tradex.
“It’s called a demo but we’re gonna beriding as fast as we can,” he said.
“Our season hasn’t started yet, so it’sa good opener to see what you have toimprove on, and what the other riders arebringing to the table.
“Even though we say it’s a fun ride, it’sa race. It’s always a race.”

The Abbotsford Heat will haveto wait until the weekend in
their pursuit of top spot in theWest Division after dropping a 2-1 decision on Monday afternoonin San Antonio.
Playing a Martin Luther KingDay matinée for their third gamein 48 hours, the Heat playedwithout a full roster, but hadthe game knotted at 1-1 after 40minutes, only to fall back 2-1 inthe third.
The San Antonio Rampagescored first on Monday, as atipped shot in the slot on thepower play snapped the Heat’sstreak of consecutive penaltieskilled at 29. The goal was the firstallowed on the man advantageby the Heat since Jan. 6, but theclub remains the top penalty kill-ers in the AHL.
At 18:38 of the opening peri-od, the Heat would equalize as
a Jordan Henry point shot wasstopped, but the rebound car-omed off the skate of Akim Aliuand into the Rampage net. Thegoal was discussed by the fouron-ice officials working the game,
but stood, and is the fourth goalfor Aliu in nine games since join-ing the Heat; Quintin Laing alsodrew an assist. A scoreless sec-ond period saw the Heat erasea 17-second five-on-three man-
advantage for the Rampage, andthe game went to the third frameall-square at a goal apiece.
The game-winning goal bankedin off a skate of a San Antonioforward in the slot and gave thehome team the lead. Monday’swin for the Rampage was the firsttime in five meetings betweenthe clubs that the home teamhas won.
With the loss, the Heat remaintwo points back of the OklahomaCity Barons for top spot in theWestern Conference.
Up next for the Heat is a pairof home stands that will see theHeat host the Charlotte Checkers(Carolina Hurricanes) this Fridayand Saturday, before their firsthome series with the ChicagoWolves (Vancouver Canucks) onTuesday Jan. 24 and WednesdayJan. 25 at the AESC.
All four games start at 7 p.m.
Heat stall, await baby ’Canes, ’Nucks

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Jan. 22 - 28, 2012★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: Be ambitious Sunday,but don’t expect cooperation. This night throughTuesday brings joy, friends, optimism, freshness, plansfor the future, and wish fulfillment – a trend that willlast until late February. It’s a splendid time to makenew friends, but not with a Libra, Capricorn, Geminior Virgo before Friday (OK after that). Retreat for awee rest Wednesday/Thursday. Your energy surgesupward Friday/Saturday – a wish could come trueSaturday. All week, work gears down…a breathercomes, through mid-April. Love takes a shy/privateroad, but will trumpet itself in February.Taurus April 20-May 20: People who have beenworking against you (if they have) back off now tomid-April. You get, during the same period, somerelief from burdens (though an old one might return).A secret romantic attraction, or a research-heavycreative project (if they exist) also wilt. In April,though, all these will “catch fire” again. So use theinterval to decide what to accept/pursue, what not to.Otherwise, use the weeks ahead for business, career,prestige and status concerns. Be ambitious, especiallySunday night to Tuesday. Success awaits! Joy, friendsmidweek. Rest, plan Friday/Saturday.Gemini May 21-June 20: The four weeks aheadbring a mellow, understanding mood. It’s a littleearly for big, new, splendiferous love, but the lovethat exists grow finer, sweeter. Discuss meaningfulthings with your spouse, lover, whomever. Fartravel, legal matters, international concerns, highereducation, religion, publishing – these succeedover the weeks ahead, especially Sunday nightthrough Tuesday (when a new project might beginin these zones). Sunday contains one last echo ofhealth concern, sexual urge or financial derring-do.Now to mid-April, an old property/family hopemight return.
Cancer June 21-July 22: The weeks aheadfeature mysteries, depths, research, sexual urges,subconscious desires, hunches and intuition.Investments and other heavy finances (mortgages,debts, a partner’s worth, etc.) will become important.All these are doubly accented Sunday night throughTuesday, when a new project might be born. Sundaydaytime contains some relationship puzzles orfrustrations. A mild, understanding mood flows overyou Wednesday/Thursday – solve legal, travel andeducational problems Wednesday. Be ambitiousFriday/Saturday. All week, the news you receive is“realistic,” correct.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Relationships come to thefore through the weeks ahead. Be diplomatic, eagerto join, or you’ll create opposition. If you co-operate,you’ll open the door to opportunities, success, evenlove. (Though truthfully, love isn’t a big possibilitybefore June.) Money has flowed your way sinceNovember, but now the flow curls, ebbs – the faucetwill turn on again in April. Meanwhile, pay your debts,avoid spending. Chores or illness mar Sunday, but thisnight to Tuesday brings fresh horizons, opportunities.Thursday/Friday steer you into deeper waters: desire,big finances – careful!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Employment, chores,machinery and health concerns fill the weeks ahead(especially this Monday/Tuesday). A new projectmight begin in one of these – but take care on themoney and legal sides, as some glitches exist. (E.g.,don’t overpay for that bulldozer, and make sure thetransfer papers are correct.) Relationships, oppositionand opportunity, new horizons, exciting meetings,negotiations fill Wednesday/Thursday. A subtle butfirm “difficulty” exists between you and anotherwhich can make communication slow. No harm here.Late week wakens your desires, financial and sexual.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The weeks ahead arefilled with the sweetness of love, especially forteens and twenty-types. Rest or clean house Sundaydaytime. This night through Tuesday romance,creative urges, speculative and adventurous risks,beauty and deep pleasure pull you – and succeed.But let me raise a wee caution: you might, insucceeding, be indulging lust, and closing a door tolove with a very marriageable person. (This dangerlasts to Friday, then ebbs.) Protect your health andtackle chores Wednesday/Thursday – don’t buymachinery. Relationships move well Friday, stumbleslightly Saturday.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Sink into domesticsituations.Home,nature, garden, farm are your naturalhabitat through the weeks ahead. Pay attention tonutrition, soul, digestion. (Funny how stomach andsoul are so connected.) You might start a new yardor property project, especially Monday/Tuesday. You’llfeel sluggish, so get lots of rest. Romance, nature’sbeauty, charming children and a creative surge visityou Wednesday/Thursday. In romance, you might feelcommunications are slow or mildly obstructive. Avoidactions that can lead to gossip. Tackle chores Friday/Saturday. All’s well!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Communications,short trips, paperwork, details, news media, errands,siblings and casual acquaintances fill the few weeksahead.You’ll be busy, but this is not an important time,so stay relaxed. Protect your money Sunday – don’tshop. Monday/Tuesday favour trips, calls and friends.Sink into home or foundational matters Wednesday/Thursday: nutrition, soul, children, systems at theworkplace, plumbing, etc. Your romantic side flaresnicely Friday/Saturday – but this is not a good timeto start a love affair. You’ll enjoy these two days: theworld looks wide and welcoming!
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Chase money for thefew weeks ahead, especially this Monday/Tuesday,when an earnings (or purchasing) project might begin.But remain cautious through Thursday, as your ideasand your speech tend to dead-end against a higher-up’s staunch, polite refusal. (Buy NO communicationsdevices – nor anything used – before Friday.) Yourenergy remains high Sunday. Later, Wednesday/Thursday are for paperwork, errands, calls andcontacts – busy, light stuff. Bury yourself in domestic,foundational, security and retirement matters Friday/Saturday. Until April, a legal hassle takes a breather.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy, magnetism,effectiveness and timing surge to a yearly high nowthrough late February. Start important projects, seepeople, ask favours, tackle formerly daunting tasks– you’re on a path to success! However, exercisesome caution this week – people might talk, or asecret be exposed through Thursday: remain moral,and keep what’s private, private. This is not the bestweek to seek medical opinions/aid. The strong sexualand/or financial urges of the last three months easenow to mid-April – then will begin again. Rest Sunday.Conquer the world Monday/Tuesday!Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Rest, retreat,contemplate and meditate. Your spiritual, charitableside needs to breathe, to act. Contact governmentagencies, institutions and company head offices. Seektherapy, advice. All this, Monday/Tuesday, and for fourweeks. Take care through Thursday in relationships,investments, health and sex: others say the outlookis rosy, but you know the reality. Your relationshipshave been intense, exciting since mid-November.Now someone intriguing “backs off” to April. It’sjust a pause – he/she needs to digest recent events.Success, Wednesday/Thursday! Chase money Friday.
