A12-year-old Abbotsford boy is in hospitalafter being seriously burned while play-
ing with fire last week.The youth and four friends were mixing
flammable liquids together in a containerlast Friday afternoon when something wentterribly wrong, said Abbotsford Fire RescueService prevention officer Steve Oldroyd.
The flaming liquid ended up on the boy’schest and ignited his clothing. He sustainedsecond-degree burns to more than 10 per
cent of his upper body.“He also suffered some facial burns as he
was pulling off his t-shirt. We’re not sure whatkind of rehabilitation he’s going to need,” saidOldroyd. The boy is now in stable conditionat BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.
Young people playing with fire are a primary
concern of the AFRS, said Oldroyd.“It’s not just terrible for the victim and
parents. It’s one of the things emergencyresponders dread – a child that has beenburned.
“This type of incident is 100 per cent pre-ventable . . . this doesn’t have to happen. Itshouldn’t happen.”

Abbotsford Police Chief Const. Bob Rich, right, speaks duringthe Abbotsford Police Department’s Operation Lodestar anti-gang forum held at Robert Bateman Secondary Wednesday.Hundreds of concerned parents and community membersshowed up to hear Mayor George Peary, below, and others,discuss the impact of gangs and poor parenting on children.
Tough talk at Lodestar launchHitting the mark: Latest anti-gang message targets parents
RAFE ARNOTT
Abbotsford police challenged parents toattend their latest anti-gang messag-ing forum at Robert Bateman Second-
ary Wednesday night, and hundreds of themanswered the call.
The school’s gym, packed with parentswho came to hear police address the city’s‘murder capital of Canada’ moniker, echoedMayor George Peary’s message.
“There are some dangerous things goingon here,” Peary cautioned the audience.
“Crime prevention is too important to beleft to police. It’s a community-wide endea-vour.”
Peary said law enforcement is just one partof the solution to protecting the community,and its youth, from organized crime andgang influence. To be truly effective, he said,
police need thesupport of law-makers, politi-cians, teachers,
and most importantly parents.Many parents in the audience were look-
ing for answers on how to protect theirchildren from the growing influence ofgang-related violence in the Lower Main-land.
One father, Wayne, who didn’t want hislast named used, said he moved his youngfamily to Abbotsford to get away from vio-lence, and was at the forum Wednesdaynight to listen to what police had to say.
“The murder rate in Abbotsford is a littlescary. We just moved out from Surrey threeyears ago, because we thought it would besafer,” Wayne said. “There is no real safecommunity anywhere . . . and the murdersare a little bit frightening.”
Hoping to glean information he can useto help him parent his three seven-year-oldboys, Wayne said he wants to understandwhy youth are turning to a life of violenceand crime.
“What leads children down that road?”
he asked. “Off the right path to one that isobviously very wrong.”
Parents who lead by positive example, Sgt.Mike Novakowski said, give children thechance to model their good behaviour, asopposed to modeling negative behaviour,which can lead to poor life choices.
“We’re not here because we think all par-ents are bad parents. We know that mostparents love their kids, and will do what-ever they can to teach their kids right fromwrong,” Novakowski said.
“We know as a police department, thepower in parenting.”
Novakowski said sharing information withparents about the social and criminal pres-sures youth in Abbotsford face is paramountfor them to make decisions about theirchildren’s behaviour.
“We know you care, the fact you’re hereshows that,” he said.
Chief Const. Bob Rich said the lure ofeasy money selling marijuana and cocaineattracts young people.
Human trafficking is also becoming bigbusiness, Rich told the audience, and par-ents need to be proactive and vigilant toprotect their children.
“It’s a party they go to where they meet thewrong people, it’s an association or friend-ship with the wrong people, it’s wanting tolook cool at school,” Rich said.
“It’s an easier path for certain people.”

The recipe of success for Abbots-ford’s community Diwali celebra-tion is the sense of belonging it
fosters, says one of its organizers.“It’s all about getting together,” said
Minakshi Sidhu, head of multilingualservices at Clearbrook Library.
The Diwali festival takes place tomor-row at Rick Hansen Secondary Schooland will likely draw as many as 5,000people, as it has in years past.
“We always have a big mix of people.We’re all Canadian, but we all celebrateour different cultures,” said Sidhu.
It’s multicultural and promotes a sen-se of belonging and friendship . . . andall sorts of nice things.”
Diwali, which officially starts Nov. 5,symbolizes the victory of good over evil,light over darkness and knowledge overignorance.
People celebrate with family and fri-ends, wear new clothes and give gifts,but most importantly, adorn buildingsand homes with fancy lights.
It is one of the biggest festivals of theyear for both Sikhs and Hindus.
Abbotsford residents don’t just attendthe city’s community festival – loads
work to make it happen too, said Sid-hu.
“People actually call us up and say wewant to [volunteer] . . . it’s a beautifulthing.”
Many Rick Hansen students are actingas festival hosts on behalf of their schoolalong with Abbotsford CommunityServices and the Fraser Valley RegionalLibrary.
The family event will also feature hen-na, crafts, sari and turban-wrappingdemonstrations, bindi art, singing anddancing.
◗ The festival takes place tomorrowfrom 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Rick HansenSecondary School, 31150 Blueridge Dr.

Du n a c h E l e m e n t a r yparents are preparing
to battle the AbbotsfordBoard of Education overthe possible closure of therural school.
A p u b l i c m e e t i n g i sscheduled for Monday eve-ning and a final decisionby trustees takes place at aboard meeting Nov.15.
Citing low enrollment inthe northwest rural schools,Dunach’s catchment num-b e r s a n d t h eh i g h c o s t o frepair ing thebuilding, dis-trict staff haveproposed clos-ing the schooll o c a t e d o nDownes Roadand Mt. Lehm-a n i n J u n e2011.
Parent AngieAppenheimer– who has twosons at Dunach and headsthe school’s advocacy team– said parents are going tofight to preserve the qualityof their kids’ education.
“This is not a fight fora building, it is a fight formaintaining what is bestfor our kids. Small com-munity schools are a vitalkey to the success of chil-dren.”
The district made littleeffort to find ways to savethe school, she said.
“Information has beentipped toward closure – anauthentic attempt to workwith our strengths has notbeen [tried],” said Appen-heimer.
“Alternatives to closure– not one was given, we
have not felt supported orrepresented.”
The parents plan to bringa number of issues to theboard’s attention such asmeeting community needsin the area, the importanceof Dunach as a heritagebuilding and that enroll-ment at the elementarys c h o o l w a s n e g a t i v e l yimpacted in 2010 by theschools uncertain future.
A district report issuedOct. 4 estimates it wouldcost the district $2,816,380to upgrade the building.
The district would alsosave as much as $560,000annually if the school wasclosed.
Staff noted while otherelementary rural schools
being examinedby the district– Mt. Lehmana n d B r a d n e r– are also not atcapacity, Dun-a c h i s i n t h eworst physicalshape.
The school’sfuture was ont h e c h o p p i n gblock last year,but the decisionwas postponed
while district officials pre-pared a long-term strategicplan.
At the time, parents pro-p o s e d t u r n i n g Du n a c hinto a traditional choiceschool.
B u t t h e d i s t r i c t h a svetoed the idea becauseDunach needs too manyrepairs, is too close to KingTraditional Elementary onBradner Road, and the planwould not solve the prob-lem of low enrollment.
◗ The public can providefeedback around the pos-sible closure Monday nightat 7 p.m. at Eugene ReimerMiddle School, 3433 FirhillDrive.

Canada’s murder rate mayhave been down in 2009, but
the number of homicides wasup across B.C. with Abbotsford-Mission ranking as the country’sdeadliest city for the secondyear in a row, Statistics Canadasaid Tuesday.
The information was nothing new– news outlets reported the city’sright to the deadly moniker for asecond year in a row this July when
StatsCan released numbers crown-ing Abbotsford as the top Canadiancity of 100,000 or more with ninemurders in 2009.
And among Canada’s largest cit-ies, Metro Vancouver was secondonly to Winnipeg with 2.62 slayingsper 100,000 residents. Winnipeg’sper capita rate was 4.15.
Vancouver was also second toWinnipeg for the number of gang-related homicides, with a rate of .99per 100,000. And Metro Vancouverranked first per capita for the num-ber of firearms murders with 1.42
per 100,000 residents.Overall, Metro Vancouver had 61
murders in 2009, up eight from theprevious year.
Across B.C., gang murders havesteadily increased over the lastdecade, the report said.
In 1999, B.C. had just five gangmurders, amounting to 8.4 percentof the total slayings that year. Lastyear, there were 35 gang murdersacross the province or more than20 percent of all homicides in B.C.in 2009.
Overall, there were 610 homicidesin Canada in 2009, down one fromthe previous years.
“Among census metropolitan
areas, Abbotsford-Mission report-ed the highest homicide rate, fol-lowed by Thunder Bay, Winnipeg,Saguenay, Halifax, Vancouver andEdmonton,” the report said.
Despite the B.C. increases, therate of firearm-related homicidesdeclined across the country by 12per cent last year after increasing 24per cent between 2002 and 2008.
“More than half of all homicidescommitted with a firearm in 2009were gang-related,” StatsCan said.
Particularly disturbing was thelarge increase in the number ofyouth accused of murders lastyear.
“There were 78 youth aged 12 to
17 accused of committing homicidein 2009, 23 more than the previousyear. This represents the secondhighest rate per 100,000 popula-tion reported in over 30 years,” thereport said.
In more than 80 per cent of mur-ders, the victim is known to thekiller. But in 2009, the number ofvictims killed by strangers increasedby 17 percent from the previousyear.
While the murder rates for bothAbbotsford-Mission and Metro Van-couver were up in 2009, the stats aremuch improved so far in 2010.

◗ Your view
The Abbotsford/Mission Timesis a division of Postmedia NetworkInc.We’re published Tuesdays andFridays from 30887 PeardonvilleRd., Abbotsford, B.C.
Iwoke up the other dayfeeling like I was in a lowbudget remake of the film
“Groundhog Day.”As is the case most morn-
ings, I made some coffee,turned on the computer andstarted clicking through halfa dozen online news sites inwhich I kept coming across astory noting that once again,Abbotsford-Mission has thedubious distinction of beingCanada’s murder capital.
Hyperbole aside, I gener-ally put little stock in suchrankings. They make goodheadlines but there are usuallytoo many other things goingon to put much faith in suchsensational claims. Still, theyresonate with the public andget people talking, which ispreferable to an uninformedpopulace.
The problem is, just threemonths ago, I went throughthe exact same routine. OnJuly 20 news sites across thecountry were having a field daynoting that for the second yearin a row Abbotsford-Mission(where exactly is “Abbotsford-Mission” by the way?) had thehighest murder rate in thecountry. One hundred dayslater, it’s the murder capitalagain. How often is this annualdistinction given out?
So what exactly is going on?In a nutshell; not much. Statis-tics Canada released its majorcrime data report last summer.Now they’ve released a follow-up comparative report thatdistinguishes between differ-ent categories of murder suchas whether or not it was gangrelated or what type of weaponwas used.
In other words, there’s moredata available for those inter-ested in further analyses butfor the media it’s more anopportunity to recycle thesame attention getting head-line for the second time sinceCanada Day.
Either ignored altogether orburied midway through mostnews accounts that focused onthe “No. 1 ranking” aspect ofthe story, was something muchmore disturbing.
The report noted, “Therewere 78 youth aged 12 to 17accused of committing homi-cide in 2009, 23 more than theprevious year. This represents
the second highest rate per100,000 population reported inover 30 years.”
This is the real shocker tocome out of the report. It fliesin the face of the reassurancesby the chattering classes, aca-demics and talking heads thateverything is fine and crime isno longer an issue. True, over-all crime may have decreasedin recent times but if youth arekilling each other at a recordpace, the fact that auto theftand forgery is down is hardlycause for celebration.
The notoriety of Abbotsford-Mission’s number one rankingis simply a function of a spikein local gang related conflictsover the past couple years.All indications are that thesenumbers will not be repeatedand Thunder Bay or Halifaxcan reclaim the honour nextyear.
Who’s number one or run-ner-up isn’t important at theend of the day. Not when wehave almost 80 youth accusedof homicide.
It’s time we got our prioritiesstraight.

The recent attack on an aging butspirited horse is easy to con-demn.
Another story of vicious dogssavaging a defenseless animal is bound toraise people’s hackles.
But putting aside the inevitable debatethat will arise about whether pit bullsmake good pets, the whole incidentspeaks to the larger and broader issue ofresponsible ownership. Sure, it’s not abig stretch of intelligence to observe thatif you have an aggressive dog you mightwant to keep it locked up so it doesn’thave an opportunity to bite into the near-est animal – or God forbid – child.
But it goes further than that.There are numerous but less dramatic
examples of pet owners’ lack of account-ability. Most municipal SPCAs are underconstant siege.
They suffer a lack of funding from thepublic, but people have no compunctionabout dropping off the litters of unwantedkittens and puppies that result when theydon’t spay or neuter their animals.
“Beloved” pets are often abandonedas soon as they become inconvenient orgrow larger than anticipated.
Then there are the people who profitfrom pets. Not a month ago, SPCA ani-mal cruelty investigators pulled 14 badlyneglected dogs from a suspected puppymill in Abbotsford. The Surrey pet storeoperated by the dogs’ owner is also underSPCA investigation. The answer mightseem to be more and more legislation andbylaws to protect animals from humans,but there seems to be generalized confu-sion about what rules already exist.
Most municipalities have bylaws thatsupposedly govern ungovernable ani-mals but consequences often appearsporadic or ineffective. Generally, as inboth Abbotsford and Mission, a dog mustactually seriously injure something orsomeone before it is declared a “danger-ous dog” and action takes place. The titleseems kind of redundant after a mauling.
Surely the best solution would be ifpet owners, whether of pit bulls or poo-dles, actually stepped up and did theirduty towards their animals and societyas a whole.

Editor, the Times:Let me extend a warm
felt thank you to the City ofAbbotsford, Mayor GeorgePeary, the city manager, theAbbotsford city council,Chief Constable Bob Rich ingenerously sponsoring andparticipating in my recenttown hall meeting regardingjustice issues. Noticeablyabsent was our AG, Mr. deJong.
I am disappointed thatas our attorney general hemissed an opportunity tohear our pleadings regard-ing justice.
Regardless, we soldieron. For the Schellenbergs,knowing that so manycare about what hap-pened to Ed, this is thedifference between hopeand despair. Good on youAbbotsford!

Give students betterUFV parking options
Editor, the Times:Eliminating cost-free
spaces and increasing park-ing costs for UFV students(Students stand up to park-ing fees, Times, Oct. 26) isdownright silly on morethan one level.
There’s sufficient stress in
a UFV student’s life withoutbeing constantly nickel-and-dime while searchingfor limited parking.
And this aggravation iscounterproductive whenlinked with Abbotsford’splans to develop a univer-sity centre. Why wouldeither UFV or the city wantto chase students from thearea by making parkingmore difficult?
Our city, in its wisdom,has already turned KingRoad into a major thor-oughfare, effectively dis-couraging pedestrian trafficin the area.
Making it more difficultfor students to stay close tocampus is simply going toadd to the dearth of poten-tial customers for futurecommercial development.

Without places likeDunach, it’s just a city
Editor, the Times:As parents, it is our excit-
ing and stressful responsi-bility to raise our childrenas we see best. To instill inthem the values, our values,that we deem necessary forthem to not only live well,but to succeed in life.
Success stems from sev-eral sources, like confidencein oneself, and in othersthat are part of your com-munity.
Like the ability to getalong well with others, tohave respect for others andto take pride in your accom-plishments.
To have a strong educa-tion - with a variety of expe-riences, and in a variety ofareas. And, to have a solidsense of history - to havea strong sense of the placewhere you live, and yourplace in it.
But, not a place soattached to its history thatit hasn’t embraced whatthe future has in store. Thatis what we looked for in aschool (a tough set of cri-teria).
And we found it. It isDunach Elementary.
Yet now, the school is indanger of being closed. Toomany upgrades needed theysay. Too few students. Flag-ging enrollment. And so onand so on.
Both sides have strongcases. In the end though itwill come down to dollarsand cents, and the milliondollar question is: is the lim-ited school district budgetbeing used in the best waypossible? Are we getting themost “bang” for the buck?
I would argue that it is.If the school district
would promote this schoolthe enrollment would rampup to capacity, and the out-standing repairs that haven’tbeen done were actuallycompleted there would beno reason for Dunach notto be around in another 118years.
I know that closing ofDunach would not be theend of the world. But I urgeyou to take a moment andreflect on your own values,your own goals and beliefs.
At the very least, researchour history – if anything, ahistory lesson will do yougood and give you morepride in the great commu-nity, area, and country thatwe are fortunate to live in.
Dunach is over 100 yearsold - it hosted the birth ofour city, survived two World
Wars, the great depression,and countless economicbooms and busts.
Like I said earlier, if Dun-ach closes it’s not the endof the world. But it wouldmark the end of an era– the first era. And, I would
mark this new beginningby first suggesting that wechange our city’s catch-phrase from “Abbotsford:City in the Country” to“Abbotsford: City.”

A10 ❘ FAITH ❘ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2010 THE TIMES
T iming is everything. Theother day my youngestson was at work taking
care of a routine task whenthings went terribly wrong.
Before he knew what washappening a metal wheel cameflying at him like a cannon ballhitting him in the hand theninto the wall behind him.
A slight move of his head oneway or the other just a secondearlier could have meant thisstory would end in a dramati-cally different way.
Thankfully the emergencyroom visit revealed only tissuedamage and no broken bones.On a daily basis we are remind-ed of the importance of timing.
It might be in reference to anear tragedy or the simple joyof hitting more than one greenlight while travelling downSumas Way (as if that will everhappen).
By timing, I am referring tothe difference between pay-
ing your mortgage or rent oneday late verses one day early orbeing late for work by 10 min-utes compared to arriving earlyby an hour. This whole idea oftiming is brought home in thewords of the apostle Paul whenhe wrote to the church in Rome:
“You see, at just the right time,when we were still powerless,Christ died for the ungodly. Veryrarely will anyone die for a righ-teous man, though for a goodman someone might possiblydare to die.
“But God demonstrates hisown love for us in this: while wewere still sinners, Christ died forus.” (Romans 5:6-8 NIV).
I find it fascinating to think ofhow God planned out his rescueplan for humanity. According toPaul, timing was everything.
Note the phrase “just the righttime”, is associated with ourpowerlessness or our inabilityto do anything about it. God’sdesire to reconcile his creation
to himself occurs before we haveany knowledge that there is evena problem. Paul goes on to saythat while we were still sinners,Christ died for us.
It doesn’t say he was readyto die for us once we got ouract together or had to die forus because we were such goodpeople, or because we said themagic words as if God weresome genie in a bottle. It sayshe did die for us when we werenot even aware we needed dyingfor. Paul makes the point again afew verses later.
“For if, when we were God’senemies, we were reconciled tohim through the death of his
Son, how much more, havingbeen reconciled, shall we besaved through his life!”
The timing is clear, God rec-onciled us or made us right withhim, through his death. Thiswasn’t an afterthought. Goddoesn’t say, “ ooops”. Christ’ssacrifice is described as being areality from the creation of theworld, which last I checked wasa long time ago.
You and I are not after-thoughts of God, nor can wepossibly take any responsibil-ity for what he has done for ussince it occurred prior in time toour knowledge of our need for it.
God gets all the glory as hereveals his love for us and hisdesire to commune with us inJesus.
This is where the timing shiftsto the present. God has not onlyestablished the provisions forour reconciliation (being maderight), but he has invited us toshare this life today with him
through the ongoing savingwork of Jesus Christ. Paul goeson to say in Chapter 10:9 that:“If you confess with your mouth,‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe inyour heart that God raisedhim from the dead, you will besaved.”
God’s plan from the verybeginning of time was to sendhis Son to this earth to live aperfect life and then to sacrificethat life for the many.
That is an amazing truth butincomplete without the knowl-edge that Jesus is alive todayand desires for each of us toenter into that amazing relation-ship prepared before time.
He has prepared a wonderfulmeal, the table is set and he isinviting us to the dinner table.
Make sure you aren’t late.

THE TIMES FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2010 ❘ FAITH ❘ A11
M y family and I enjoy havingfamily meetings. We take turnsdiscussing how we are doing
and what type of help we need.Sometimes things come up that maybe
we would rather not hear, but neverthelessneed to be said.
This is where the quality ofteachableness comes in handy.
It reminds me of my early yearsteaching. I remember coming homecrying after reading my evaluations. Iwould have comments about how boringand monotone I was. But I was facedwith a decision.
Was I going to accept defeat and notchange, or was I willing to accept thefeedback and allow it to enhance mylife? If I really wanted to increase myability as a teacher, it was importantto accept this feedback, and do what Icould to change.
Being told that you have an issue thatis affecting others in negative ways canbe difficult to listen to.
It takes time to filter out theinformation and not feel condemned orlike a failure.
For me, overcoming thecondemnation made it easierto humble myself and makethe changes necessary. Doingthis gave me to courage toface my weaknesses headon and make the necessarychanges.
As I began to improve myspeaking abilities, I began toenjoy the benefits of changing my ways.
What type of feedback is yourenvironment giving you? Are peopleafraid to give you honest advice? Doyou really want to hear the truth? Areyou willing to make the changes that arenecessary for growth?
When we are just drifting through lifeon autopilot, sometimes we need a goodkick in the pants.
The Bible is loaded with wisdomto wake us up. Proverbs 29:25, “It isdangerous to be worried about whatother people think of you, but if youtrust in the Lord you are safe.”
Proverbs 6:10-11, “A little sleep, a littleslumber, a little folding of the handsto sleep. So shall your poverty come
on you like a robber,and your need like anarmed man.”
James 4:10 advises usto humble ourselves.We can either humbleourselves or God willhumble us. It is ourchoice.
If we want God towork through us and operate in Hisanointing we must remain teachableand open to feedback. We must resistthe temptation to become stubborn ordefensive. Hebrews 12:6 tells us thatwhom the Lord loves, He chastens(disciplines).
It goes on to say in Verse 7, to “…endure chastening God deals with youas with sons, for what son is there whoma father does not chasten?”
Verse 11 continues with, “Nochastening seems to be joyful for thepresent, but grievous, neverthelessafterward it yields the peaceable fruit ofrighteousness to those who have beentrained by it.”
Ephesians 4:25-29 talks about putting
on the new nature of righteousness andholiness.
“Therefore, putting away lying, eachone speak truth with his neighbour, forwe are members of one another. Beangry, and do not sin. Do not let the sungo down on your wrath, nor give placeto the devil.
"Let him who stole steal no longer,but rather let him labour, working withhis hands what is good. Let no corruptcommunication proceed out of yourmouth, but what is good for necessaryedification and building up, that it mayimpart grace to the hearer.”
Make a fresh commitment today toaccept feedback and allow it to moveyou forward into greater change andmaturity. Receive it as wind under yourwings rather than a rock in your shoe.
Let go of all condemnation and ask theLord for wisdom and courage to acceptthis challenge.
There are great mountains for you toconquer, but it takes developing yourcharacter by receiving feedback.

Abbotsford police are concernedabout security measures at localfinancial institutions after a man
wearing dark glasses, a hoodie and heavyouterwear was able to approach a tellerunchallenged and demand cash Oct.19.
Even with 12 fewer bank robberies thisyear compared to the same period in2009 (eight vs. 20), the incident highlightsongoing problems involving specific rulesregarding appropriate client clothingwhile banking that police are strugglingto message, Const. Ian MacDonald said.
“We’ve tried to communicate to finan-cial institutions the things to be alert for,”MacDonald said.
“When somebody walks into your busi-
ness and they’re dressed for a blizzard . . .almost like Kenny from South Park, if youhave ‘No Hats, No Hoodies’ rules, thenthat should be an alert.
“We shouldn’t be letting these peoplego [to a teller] without at least being chal-lenged by the security guard standing atthe door.”
MacDonald said police have put on twosecurity seminars for area banks already,and while the theory passed along fromdetectives is gratefully accepted, little ofit makes into practice.
“Security is there to greet customers,make eye contact and to inform custom-ers about the bank rules,” MacDonaldsaid.
If someone comes in and you can’t rec-ognize them they’re so covered up, andsecurity informs them of the rules, andthey still head for a teller, “Then you’re
phoning 911,” MacDonald said.Unfortunately, that didn’t happen in
the Oct. 19 incident.“Nobody interacts with [the suspect],”
MacDonald said.“People see him in his garb and he’s
allowed to stand in line and eventuallymake it to a teller.”
Suspects that are able to rob a bankwearing clothes that conceal their iden-tity make security camera footage prob-lematic, MacDonald added.
In the Oct. 19 case, information put for-ward to investigators about the suspect’sidentity is being pursued and that, alongwith some distinct clothing worn bythe thief, is helping to move the caseforward.
Anyone with information about therobbery is asked to contact the AbbotsfordPolice Department at 604-859-5225.

An Abbotsford duplexhas been the target of a
second suspicious fire with-in the space of a week.
Abbotsford Fire RescueService was called to the2600 block of Parkview St.around 5:40 p.m. Wednes-day to find a small fire inthe home’s carport.
Crews were able to quick-ly extinguish the flames.
No was living in the homeas it suffered serious dam-age in a suspicious blazeSaturday evening.
Fire crews arrived around7 p.m. to find smoke andflames pouring out the liv-ing room window of theone-storey building.
The occupant of the suitewhere the fire started wasn’t
at home, but the residentsof the adjoining apar t-ments had to be escortedto safety.
Firefighters were able tocontain the blaze, but therewas widespread smoke andfire damage to the upperfloor of the duplex.
The cause of the fire hasnot been released and isu n d e r i n v e s t i g a t i o n byAFRS and the Abbotsfordpolice.
Const. Ian MacDonaldsaid it’s early in the inves-tigation, but the focus ison the property itself ratherthan any individuals livingthere.
It doesn’t appear to besomeone setting randomfires given the house hasbeen targeted twice in ashort period of time, hesaid.

R esidents of Abbotsford are burningrubber to local tire stores looking forthe proper treads thanks to the pros-
pect of a colder, snowier winter this year.Luke Madill, sales manager for Fountain
Tire in Abbotsford, told the Times his storehas already completed twice the amount ofquotes for snow tires than it did by this timelast year, in large part because EnvironmentCanada forecasted B.C.’s south coast couldbe hit by the worst weather since 1955.
He added that despite the rise in priceestimates, the real storm has yet to come.
“It is a little bit premature but it definitelyis coming,” said Madill of the soon-to-berush for winter tires.
“We usually don’t start doing this until thesecond or third week of November as peo-ple prepare to go away for their Christmasholidays, but with the weather predictionscoming on as they are, people are thinking
about it a lot earlier than normal.”This was hardly the case last year, how-
ever.Thanks to El Nino, a weather pattern that
brings much warmer winter temperatures
compared to La Nina, the system expectedto impact the B.C. south coast this year,hardly any snow fell in the Lower Main-land.
While it reeked havoc with the 2010 Win-
ter Olympics, tire suppliers also felt theeffects, said Madill.
“If we don’t get a good snowfall beforeChristmas, our winter tire sales are [only]half,” of what they are usually expected tobe, said Madill.
“In the same respect, we’ve been prepar-ing by ordering quite a few more winter tiresthan we did last year.”
With above average snowfall forecast forthis winter, as well as below average tem-peratures, Madilladvised drivers doget the proper set oftires, and soon.
“ We absolutelyrecommend thatpeople get them,”he said. “Especiallyif they’re doing anykind of travelling onthe highway.
“ E v e n p e o p l ewho are commut-ing from the FraserValley into Vancouver. . .for people gettingwinter tires, we recommend you get themsooner rather than later.”
Preliminary forecasts issued by Environ-ment Canada earlier this month projectedthe region’s first major brush with winter tocome around mid-to-late December.

A14 ❘ FOOD ❘ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2010 THE TIMES
A s a child, I rememberwhen I first discov-ered the taste of a
peanut butter and bananasandwich and wonderedhow many others knewabout this phenomenon.
The contrasting flavoursof salty nuttiness and thesweetness opened up awhole new world for me.
I then started searchingfor other ways to indulge mynewly established passionfor peanut butter. Spreadinga spoonful of it on each biteof an apple was my favorite.
My fascination of peanutbutter has matured sincethen, and I have discov-ered many ways to use thishousehold pantry staple.
The most important thingto keep in mind however,is the growing number ofpeanut allergies in people.Always inquire with dinnerguests to discover any aller-gies you may not be awareof before planning a menu.
Peanut butter has been inexistence for hundreds ofyears and is a regular fooditem in over 70 per cent ofhouseholds. Peanut butter,in moderation, is a goodpart of a balanced diet and asource of protein. Although
it contains a large amountof fat, approximately 80 percent of the fat content isunsaturated.
Unsaturated fats havebeen proven to help reducelevels of LDL-cholesterol(the bad cholesterol) with-out lowering HDL-choles-terol (the good one).
If the healthy aspect isyour focus however, you aremuch better off with naturalpeanut butters where theingredients are just pea-nuts. Peanut butters thatare not natural may con-tain unhealthy artificiallyproduced trans-fats, whichhave been linked to increas-es in LDL-cholesterol.
The first alternate use forpeanut butter that comes tomind is for making saucesand/or dressings.
Use it as a base in a spicypeanut dressing for yourfavorite salad, or in a peanutsauce for your next stir-fry.
There are many recipesavailable to successfullyaccomplish these ideas.
For a fantastic finishingtouch make sure that thegarnish for these dishesinclude a handful of roastedpeanuts. For added dimen-sion of flavour in chili,soups and stews, a table-spoon or two of peanut but-ter is fantastic.
One substitution thatalways keeps me reachingfor the peanut butter, is toreplace tahini. I love Greekhummus (ground chic peadip), and it usually requiresa sesame paste called tahini.
Since I hardly ever havetahini on hand, peanutbutter is a wonderful alter-native. It is the same con-sistency as tahini, and the
flavour depth that the pea-nut butter adds to the recipeis incredible.
In addition to these usesthere are many desserts thatfeature the wonderful tasteof peanut butter. I cannotstress enough to take advan-tage of the free resourceslike the library and the
internet for an abundantamount of recipes.
Experimenting in thekitchen is the pathway tocreating recipes that youcan call your own and takepride in. Have fun tryingthese suggestions, but if allelse fails there is still oneuse that you can rely on: thenext time you have a caseof the hiccups, swallowing atablespoon of peanut butterwill usually eliminate them.
Dear Chef Dez:I like buying natural pea-
nut butter for the healthaspect of it, but because Ihave to store it in the refrig-erator it is terrible for tryingto spread on toast. Any sug-gestions?
Ian B.Abbotsford
Dear Ian:We only buy natural pea-
nut butter and how we over-come this is simple. We havea toaster oven and once thebread has been toasted, weplace a serving of peanutbutter on each piece andput it back in the warmedoven for approximately 30seconds (with the toasteroven off).
Alternatively if you don’town a toaster oven, justmicrowave a portion fora few seconds. The ‘oldschool’ way would be toplan ahead and leave someout at room temperaturebefore breakfast time hits.

Wikipedia’s article on thehistory of drivers licencesidentifies the original‘licence’ as a handwrit-ten note from the GrandDucal authorities issuedto Karl Benz, the inventorof the modern automobile,in 1888 permitting him tooperate his car on publicroads. Mr. Benz requestedthe note because ofcomplaints by the citizensof Mannheim about the noise and smell of his‘Motorwagen’.
By the beginning of the 20th century many Eu-ropean countries, the UK, and the United Stateswere all grappling with how to control the grow-ing problem of more cars and more crashes.In the US, Massachusetts and Missouri issuedthe first drivers’ licences in 1903. Little morethan identification cards, they were issued fora small fee without any driving skills examina-tion. As the number of cars and drivers steadilyincreased, however, skill testing became aprerequisite for licensing.
The relationship between driver education andlicensing and driver competency has been anongoing subject of interest and scrutiny fromthe beginning. On August 18, 1907 under theheadline “Better Auto Laws are Now Needed” theNew York Times published an article about drivercompetency that has echoed down to the presenttime. Prompted by the high number of arrestsfor speeding “since the opening of the touringseason” and the numerous accidents “appallingin their results,” the article surveyed the debateover “what is going to be done about it.”
Motoring laws focused on speeding as the “chiefpoint upon which penalties [were] concentrat-ed.” Automobile club spokespersons, while de-ploring the behaviour of “careless and recklessdrivers” protested that speeding laws, especially
on rural roads, persecutedmotorists. Their solutionsranged from adoptingthe “French system… oflicensing drivers, furnish-ing them with official cardswith the penalty of revokingthe licence in addition to ajail sentence for a secondor third serious offence”to “[making] the individualpersonally responsible, theowner as well as the chauf-
feur.” One commentator called for educatingthe motorist, who, it was said, “does not realizethe tremendous power he has under him from athirty to sixty horse-power motor.”
Against this historical backdrop, a recent surveyof Alberta drivers with extensive experienceby the University of Calgary’s Schulich Schoolof Engineering which found that only 11.4%passed a test modeled after the learner’s permitmay be not quite so “shocking” – the word usedin summary by the researchers. (Although whenquestions not directly related to driving and roadsafety were discounted the pass rate was stillonly between 22.9% and 38.6%.)?
The survey was not without critics. GeorgeJonas writing in the National Post about thesurvey said: Either “the more Albertans drive,the less they know about the rules of the road”or “something doesn’t add up in the art of sur-veying or testing. ...Knowledge tests measuremainly how good people are at passing them.Their correlation to safety or performance is farless reliable.”
Nevertheless, we are now entering an era wherethe possession of a driver’s licence will be, morethan ever, a skill and behaviour-based privilege.

A16 ❘ COMMUNITY ❘ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2010 THE TIMES
W ith Halloween parties andtrick-or-treaters coming upthis weekend, ICBC is calling
on parents and drivers to plan aheadand make smart decisions for a safeweekend of festivities.
According to the five-year aver-age (2005-2009), on Halloween night,between 3 p.m. and midnight, there areapproximately 440 crashes resulting in150 injured victims on B.C. roads.
Here are ICBC’s spooktacular safetytips for parents and drivers to ensure asafe and fun weekend for all:
For parents:Dress to be seen: Let’s not spoil our
kids’ fun. Halloween is about puttingon the spookiest outfit possible and thatoften involves dark colours. A good solu-tion is to buy some reflective tape thatyou can add to the outfit or even to theirshoes or bag – as long as it makes themstand out against the dark road.
The best ghouls see everything: Scarymasks are a key part of many Halloweencostumes but it’s important that yourchild wears a mask that doesn’t hindertheir ability to fully see what’s going onaround them.
Put the mask over your own face tocheck the visibility and make any neces-sary adjustments.
The best ghouls hear everything too:As adults, we know that hearing is justas important as seeing to ensureour safety around roads.
Remind your children tonot use their cellphone or tolisten to their MP3 player– they should keep their funfocused on Halloween andall the candy.
Safety in numbers: If you’regoing for a walk on thisspookiest of nights, you’llbe safer in a group. Walkingin numbers will help driv-ers and others see yourchildren and they shouldalways be accompaniedby an appropriate num-ber of adults.
Gone haunting: Ifyour kids are heading outfor some trick-or-treatingfun, make sure you helpthem plan their route ahead oftime so they get home safely.
Consider a route that takes themthrough a quiet residential area awayfrom busy main roads and parking lots.
And remind them to cross streets atdesignated points.
For drivers:A fright’s just around the corner:
Drivers need to slow down and expectthe unexpected. Children can easily getcaught up in the excitement of Hallow-een and forget to use caution, so slowdown and be especially alert in resi-dential areas. Limit any distractions in
your car so your focus is solely on theroad ahead.
T h e g h o u l s m a y n o tnotice you: Children mayhave very limited visibilitywhile wearing masks and
costumes – don’t assumethey see you approach-
ing. And remember toalways yield to pedes-trians. By doing so,y o u h e l p e n s u rethey cross the roadsafely.
Beware of thosedark alleys: Surprises
often lurk in the darkestof places so enter and exit
driveways and alleys slowly andcarefully.
Watch for little trick-or-treaters whenbacking up.

THE TIMES FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2010 ❘ NEWS ❘ A17
RAFE ARNOTT
Abbotsford police will staff amental health outreach car to
save the department hundreds ofthousands of dollars a year, andbetter connect with those in thecommunity who need help.
The decision was announcedat a police board meeting thattook place at the University of theFraser Valley on Oct. 19.
One in 10 calls for police servicein the city involve mental-healthissues, Const. Ian MacDonaldsaid.
Dealing with individuals thatneed medical aid, or counseling,for mental distress ties up officersat the hospital for three to fourhours per incident.
“We’re dispatching an officeressentially to a situation thatrequires medical intervention morethan it needs law enforcement
intervention,” MacDonald said.T h e p o s i t i o n w i l l b e a
tremendous help to both thedepartment and the community,MacDonald said.
It will save the APD money, free-up valuable time for patrol officersand provide those individualswith mental-health issues amore qualified liaison to medicalservices.
“We want to make sure we equipthe vehicle with the right people,MacDonald said.
“ Mu c h l i k e o u r d o m e s t i cviolence unit, we want to makesure we have the right pairing, sowe have to select the right officer
who has that inclination and thatskill set and partner them withsomeone from the mental health,or medical community.”
The department continues towork with the province and FraserHealth, along with resources atAbbotsford Regional Hospitalto help expedite care for police-re l a t e d m e n t a l h e a l t h c a l l s ,MacDonald said.
An officer already on patrol dutywill fill the position, because thereis simply no money in the budgetfor a new hire.
“Hopefully that consistency willmake the difference . . . having amental health officer constantly
liaising with the local hospital,the ministry, with public resourcesfor support, that’s got to improvethings,” MacDonald said.
“Our department will be known[to those agencies] through thatofficer.”
The idea is people requiring anofficer's assistance would contacthim/her directly, as opposed togoing through traditional 911dispatchers.
“That’s time, especially if you’rein a 911 situation, you can’t afford,”MacDonald said.
“We only have so many 911lines and if you have people thatare what I would consider to bechronic callers, they’re tying upthose phone lines.”
Police are hoping to have theposition up and running in early2011.

The incident is a reminder of the dangersof flammable products, he noted.
Flammable liquids, in compressed gasor liquid, are always a hazard around anysource of ignition, and when mixed togetherthey can be unpredictable and extremelyvolatile.
“We hope parents will observe their chil-
dren around flammable materials, and takesteps so children aren’t experimenting and toeducate them about the risks of doing so.”
With Halloween and Diwali just around thecorner, parents should be aware fireworksare illegal in the City of Abbotsford and canalso cause serious injury, he added.
There will be enforcement and fines forbeing caught with or discharging fireworksduring the upcoming holidays.

RCMP safety tips:
◗ Home tips■ Keep pets indoors for the evening. This willhelp keep them safe from potential hazardsand it will also protect children who are trickor treating.
◗ Costumes■ It is important to remember when helpinga child pick out a costume, or when choosingone for grown-ups, safety should be at the topyour mind.
■Wear a light-coloured or brightly-colouredcostume; use reflective tape or arm bands toheighten visibility.
■ Wear a costume that is properly fitted toreduce the chance of tripping on it.
■ Select a costume that is constructed fromflame-retardant materials.
■ Make sure your vision is not restricted.Consider completing your costume withmake-up rather than masks. Masks mayrequire eye-holes to be cut larger to improveperipheral vision.
■ Shoes should fit properly even if they donot go well with a costume.
■ If a child’s costume requires the use ofprops, such as a flexible-plastic sword, make
sure the sharp tip is cut or filed round.
■ Glow sticks are also an excellent method toincrease a child’s visibility. You might want toconsider creating a fun necklace with stringto ensure children will want to wear it as partof their costumes.
◗ Safety talk■ Before you send your kids out for the night,make sure you have discussed their routefor the evening. Have an idea of where theyplan to go.
■ Establish an agreed upon curfew and thenmake sure they have the means to know thetime. (Cell phone, watch)
■ Remind children to always walk on thesidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, they shouldwalk on the left hand side of the street facingtraffic.
■ An old standard warning – stop and lookboth ways before you cross the street – is amust.
◗ Candy■ While it is rare for candy to be tamperedwith, please remind children they must havetheir candy inspected before they eat it.
◗ Fireworks■ Fireworks are prohibited in Abbotsford.The City of Abbotsford will issue permits forpublic fireworks events.
There are established fire by-laws governingthese permits that include specific certifica-tions.

A24 ❘ NEWS ❘ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2010 THE TIMES
The 39-year-old Belgian quarterhorse,who was rescued by the family a decadeago, put up a gallant fight. He whirled andkicked as the dogs hung off his chest andbit at his legs.
Trying to escape, he headed out of the cor-ral and into the back field.
After making a series of panicked callsto 911 and her mother, Davies got in hertruck and sped along the fence line afterthe animals.
Leaping out of the vehicle, she screamedand rattled the fence to get the dogs’ atten-tion.
Covered in blood, they turned to look ather before running towards the back of theproperty.
Davies was horrified to see Tucker had a
foot-long strip of flesh hanging off his face.When he made it back to the barn, Tucker
was shaking and covered in blood and whitelather.
“I couldn’t look at him,” she said. “I wassick . . . I was sure he wasdying.”
Two weeks later, Tuckeris in good spirits but roughshape. According to the vet,skin and muscle were tornaway, and Tucker’s face willnever completely heal.
“If he smacks it, it willcrack open and bleed.We could try skin grafts, but we’re alreadystretched with the vet bill as it is,” saidDavies, who estimates the tally to bebetween $3,000 and $5,000.
The whole Davies’ family is outraged by
the lack of consequences for the pit bullsand their owners who live nearby.
Pat, Cam Davies’ mother, said she wantsthe dogs put down and Tucker’s vet billspaid.
“I’m not against pit bulls– we have two of our own –but I am against irrespon-sible owners. You can’t justopen your door and let thedogs run out.”
A rural, unincorporatedcommunity within the Fra-ser Valley Regional District,Deroche has no municipal
bylaws to deal with dangerous dogs.However, the area is subject to the prov-
ince’s Livestock Act that stipulates a personmay kill a dog if it is found attacking orviciously pursuing their livestock.
Police officers who responded to the inci-dent did not allow the Davies’ family toshoot the dogs while they were still on theproperty, but an investigation is ongoing.
Mission RCMP Const. Fred Ritchie saidit’s too early to predict an outcome in thecase.
Still, the RCMP are investigating the pos-sibility of making an application to thecourts under the act, which allows a judge toorder offending animals to be seized and/ordestroyed.
Pat Davies said she hopes the pit bulls’owners step up and do the responsiblething, particularly as her grandchildren andneighborhood kids play close to where theattack took place.
“We’re not finished yet. We’re fighting toget some results,” she said.
“We don’t need to go through this again.”
TUCKER, from page A1
Owners weren’t allowed to shoot pit bulls, horse’s vet bills upwards of $5,000
“I couldn’t look at him.
I was sick . . . I was sure
he was dying.”

The two organizations will fill a bus withboth community members and students whosupport having a public transit link betweenAbbotsford and Chilliwack, drive the busfrom the UFV campus in Abbotsford to thenorth campus in Chilliwack, and then downHighway 1 to Abbotsford City Hall to delivercopies of the petition to government leadersat each location.
All local MLAs and municipal councilshave been invited to be present to receive thepetition, and the event is open to attendancefrom the public.
Mayor Sharon Gaetz told the Times Thurs-day she will attend on Monday and she hasinvited members of council as well.
The petition is the result of canvassing thecommunity following the approval by refer-endum of a Universal Transit Pass at UFV inNovember 2008 and introduction of the passin September 2009. During the U-PASS cam-paign, SFS and the student union heard fromstudents who said that without a link betweenAbbotsford and Chilliwack, the pass would bealmost worthless to them.
According to the press release, the petitionwill add to the chorus of voices emanatingfrom Chilliwack calling for improved publictransit following Jennifer Bigham’s citizen’ssurvey of the local transit system.
“These 5,000-plus names, many of them
UFV students, are just one more piece of evi-dence that people need a way to get betweenAbbotsford and Chilliwack,” van der Kroonsaid. “We really don’t care if it’s a bus, a train,or a UFO. But there’s enough people drivingthat route every day that a mass transit optionthat people know about has to be viable.”
Many UFV programs require full or par-tial attendance at the Chilliwack campus,though the majority of programs are offeredin Abbotsford. Offerings largely restricted toChilliwack include agriculture, theatre, den-tal assistance, bachelor’s of science nursing,teacher education and cooking.
Daily, 17,300 trips leave Chilliwack destinedfor Abbotsford or Mission, and 14,800 tripsleave Abbotsford destined for Chilliwack. SFSfeels that with proper public transportation,many of these trips would be eligible to bereplaced by public transportation, allowingthe communities of Abbotsford and Chilli-wack to receive the many benefits that comewith greater transit usage.
In the press release issued, SFS includeda message of support from UFV presidentMark Evered: “This model of three separateUFV campuses in three different cities . . .will not work until we solve the transporta-tion problem.”
The bus on Monday is scheduled to arriveon the Chilliwack campus at 2 p.m. onNov. 1 and then leave again at 2:25 p.m. forAbbotsford.

The spooky ghosts and goblins will be outto getcha come Halloween at Abbotsford’sHaunted Trethewey House.
And while the MSA Museum will be decked out inall things spooktacular this Sunday, there are manystaffers and visitors who are convinced the houseis really haunted by an actual ghost.
“We have pictures with apparitions in them,”said Christina Reid, collections manager for themuseum, referring to the strange things that havehappened at Trethewey House since a woman diedin the guest bedroom many decades ago. She citeddoors opening and lights turning on when no onewas upstairs.
“People walking through the house can feel
something there,” added Reid. “We think it’s aghost, but she’s a nice ghost.”
On Sunday, the faint-of-heart and those not sofaint will be able to experience all the weirdnessfirsthand as the museum once again creates itsmystical mysteries, with twotours through the haunt.
Yo u n g e r c h i l d r e n c a ncome from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.to get their chills and thrills.The ghostly creatures will bearound but ‘not in your face,’explained Reid, adding theydon’t want to scare the young-sters too badly. The really scaryghosts will come out to haunteven the most adventurousfrom 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. This tour is recommendedfor older children and teens and for the first timewill begin in the basement of the historic home andwind its way through the catacombs.
Staffers made the two tours so nobody would betoo scared to go through, regardless of age.
“It’s supposed to be a fun event,” said Reid. “[But]It will be spooky.”
Along with the usual corpses and body parts,there will be the zombie baby nursery and the MadHatter, along with many surprises.
The museum will also host acostume contest beginning at2:30 p.m. for two age groups:11 and under and 12 and over.Drinks, cookies, candy, gamesand crafts will be provided by theOptimist Club of Abbotsford.
“This is one of the biggestevents we have all year,” said Reid.People come from throughout theFraser Valley and other parts ofthe Lower Mainland to experi-
ence the legendary haunted house. Folks who wentthrough it as children, come back and bring theirkids, she said.
◗ Entrance to the haunted house is $4 each and $10per family at 2313 Ware St. in Abbotsford.

CAM TUCKER
Music has the power to invoke manyemotions with people around theworld.
Nothing illustrates that more than theclassical piece, Metamorphosen, composedby Richard Strauss in 1945, which was hisway of demonstrating the tragic impact the
Second World Warhad on his nativehomeland of Ger-many.
T h i s Re m e m -brance Day, whenCanadians coastto coast will stopto remember sol-diers who foughtand paid the ulti-
mate sacrifice throughout the generations,the Abbotsford Youth Orchestra, as wellas students from the Langley CommunityMusic School, will combine with profes-sional musicians from the Lower Mainlandto play Strauss’ Metamorphosen.
The composition of musicians will beginto play right at 11 a.m., on Nov. 11 – theprecise time when the First World War endedin 1918.
It should be a humbling, yet stirring experi-ence for the students of the Abbotsford YouthOrchestra, said director Calvin Dyck.
“This piece is very tragic,” he said, addingStrauss composed this music after bearingwitness to the bombing and destruction ofthe German town of Dresden in the SecondWorld War
The bombardment killed 130,000 people,a little less than the entire population of
Abbotsford, said Dyck.“He saw this as the destruction of culture.”Metamorphosen has not been without
controversy, however. Upon its composition,it was regarded by some biographers as sym-pathy, or mourning, toward the fall of the Naziregime under Adolf Hitler.
But Dyck said that the piece is the completeopposite of that; it is music written to showthe catastrophic and often wretched conse-quences war has on all peoples involved.
“It’s generally accepted now that the mel-ancholy stems from the toll of the war onGerman culture,” said Dyck.
“Music, of all the arts, is the best at express-ing emotion. It can make people smile, it canmake people laugh and it can make peoplecry.”
Dyck added that he does not think of thepiece as sympathy for the Nazi’s, but as a som-bre tribute to all soldiers, and their families,for the sacrifices they have made.
“I see war as a tragedy. One struggles withwhat to do as an artist,” he said.
“What is the appropriate response? I’venever experienced war, but I think we havea duty to remember those times and I thinkmusic helps us do that.”
◗ Performances this Remembrance Day beginat 11 a.m. at Bakerview Church in Abbotsfordand 7 p.m. at the Langley Community MusicSchool.

Indie film is the new Indie music, thanksto new technologies that enable lovers ofcinema to produce and release indepen-
dent films.One of the thousands out there that man-
aged to get critical attention is Play with Fire,which will launch on a province-wide promo-tional tour at The Reach Nov. 5.
The film, co-produced by emerging Van-couver filmmakers Soren Johnstone andMichael Babiarz, is an experiment in low-budget filmmaking.
With the beauty and grit of small townTrail as the backdrop, they use natural light,and non-actors, capturing through the lens“something that was not only raw and viscer-
al, but something beautiful,” Babiarz said.Play with Fire premiered June 2009 at
Toronto’s The ReelHeART International FilmFestival and earned the RHIFF’s Best Cinema-tography award.
“If you’re a fan of cinematography youneed to see this film for the gorgeous exteri-ors. Filmed like a Merchant Ivory film, withpractically no money. This is a gritty storythat’s beautiful to watch,” said the RHIFFprogrammer’s notes.
The film looks at challenges to loyalty, loveand loss, as it follows the unsettled life of 28-year old Christian, who wastes his days withmeaningless activities, selling drugs to get by.His girlfriend wants him to discover a new lifein the big city, but then his longtime friendcomes up with a risky plan to make somecash, and the conflict begins.
The show is Nov. 5, doors at 7 p.m., film at7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 at The Reach, 32388Veterans Way, Abbotsford. Call 604-864-8087or e-mail [email protected] for more details,or see www.playwithfiremovie.com.

THE TIMES FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2010 ❘ SHOWTIME ❘ A31
What better place than theso-called Bible belt isthere to discuss the rise
of Christian nationalism in Cana-dian politics?
With that in mind, University ofthe Fraser Valley instructor Ron Darthas invited award-winning journalistMarci McDonald to the Abbotsfordcampus to discuss her latest bookentitled The Armageddon Factor:The Rise of Christian Nationalismin Canada.
Dart, who teaches politics,religious studies, and philosophy atthe university, says her controversialbook has created plenty of heateddebate across the nation. And hesays it’s time the debate landed inthe Fraser Valley.
“McDonald has touched on
many raw, tender, and hot buttonissues in the culture wars, andshe has received much praise andopposition for doing so,” says Dart.“It seemed an obvious choice toinvite her to our campus and herlecture should interest those livingin Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley,given the fact the area has beencalled the buckle of the Bible beltin British Columbia.”
The event takes place on Monday,Nov. 1. Dart says McDonald’soutspoken book examines therelationship between Canadianconservative evangelicals and the
Conservative Party of Canada.Readers will learn how she connectsthe dots between relationshipb e t w e e n t h e c o n s e r v a t i v eevangelical tradition and JewishZionism.
“Those with even the faintestinterest in religion and politicswill have their thinking enlarged,enriched, and challenged byMarci’s meticulous and disturbingconclusions,” adds Dart. “In short,any discussion of religion andpolitics after hearing Marci willbe raised to a higher and moresophisticated level. Those who
ignore the challenges of Marci’sinsights by remaining in thecomforts and confines of homewill miss a valuable educationalopportunity.”
M c D o n a l d h a s w o n e i g h tgold national magazine awards,is a recipient of the CanadianA s s o c i a t i o n o f Jo u r n a l i s t s’investigative feature award andwinner of the Atkinson Fellowshipin Public Policy.
She was former bureau chief forMaclean’s in Paris and Washington,and she spent five years in theUnited States as senior writer for
US News & World Report.“It is rare that University of the
FraserValley has a political journalistof Marci’s calibre in its midst for acouple of invigorating hours, andconversations will certainly rippleforth for many days after Marci’sinformed and illuminating lectureand the question-answer sessionthat will follow,” adds Dart.
The event, calledThe ArmageddonFactor, takes place Monday, Nov. 1at 7 p.m. in the Abbotsford campuslecture theatre B101. It is a freeevent, but there is a $2 parkingcharge. McDonald’s book will beavailable for sale and signing.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Oct. 31 - Nov. 6★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: Deception (self-deception?) or indecision invade your creative andromantic spheres Sunday – find certainty, comfortin work Monday/Tuesday. (Careful with tools,electricity Tuesday eve.) Relationships receive a luckyboost Wednesday/Thursday. Sexual drive propelsan attraction; research tidbits, hunches or moneyintuition propel a business proposition. But you couldworry about these very things Friday. Don’t – they’ll“help” you again Saturday. All week, don’t suspectfriends. Dig deep, seek golden keys, embrace asolid, planned future. Sex is loaded with pregnantpossibilities.Taurus April 20-May 20: Rest Sunday, be in nature(golf, etc.) or putter around the house. Suddenly, thisnight, beauty steals over things. Romance, creativity,pleasure, a winning streak enter Monday/Tuesday– this, and a strong relationship theme, and a potentsexual urge, combine to create obvious possibilities!(Don’t leave it until Tuesday p.m., though, as suddenattractions/sudden splits occur.) Tackle choresWednesday/Thursday. A powerful relationship orrelocation theme enters again Friday/Saturday. Yes, athread of worry or indecision winds through this, butthe general prospect is very favourable!Gemini May 21-June 20: You face several weeks ofwork and health concerns. Well, plunge in, as nothingelse will succeed very much anyway. A minor, six-week trend has just started, intensifying relationships.This will bring either anger and argument, or a newfriend, perhaps lively love prospects. To some degreethis depends on you and your attitude; but fate hasa wee hand here, too: any new relationship (or fight)might be intended to “blow out” old attitudes andlingering links. Happiness isn’t easy – though it willbe in 2011. Rest early week, seek beauty midweek.Tackle work Friday/Saturday.
Cancer June 21-July 22: Romance, charmingkids, beauty, pleasure, a gambling mood, creativeurges – these flow through your days this week.Friday/Saturday could start a love affair. Indulgeyourself. A chore grows larger now through earlyDecember – that’s OK, it carries strong careervibes. This is an excellent time to seek employmentor purchase machinery. Something or someonewill return soon on the domestic, home front – awandering parent, child, or a real estate opportunity.It’s lucky, affectionate. (Hints Wednesday/Thursday,the “reality” next week onward.) “Home” can helpa romance.Leo July 23-Aug.22: You’ll attract attention Sunday,but you’re unsure of the “giver.” Chase moneyMonday/Tuesday (careful with spending Tuesdayeve/night). Communications, paperwork, details,errands fill Wednesday/Thursday. You could casuallymeet someone sexy, or your curiosity could lead to alucky financial revelation, investment. The financial isprobably better than the sexy. (The sexy might have ashort life span.) All week, especially Friday/Saturday,your home, security, children, real estate and relatedmatters are important – you can make major strides,lucky changes, realty investments.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: This week and the nexttwo emphasize errands, travel, communications,emails, details, casual friends, light romance. But adeeper trend, to early December, might spark frictionat home, or you might grow fascinated by the urge topurchase real estate, mostly as an investment; youmight begin or end a lust-based link. The pot of yoursecurity is being stirred, and you might be surprisedby the stew that results by December. So be cautious,honest; proceed, but thoughtfully. You and your skillsshine Monday/Tuesday – start things, get your way.Money luck Thursday! Travel Saturday.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: November emphasizesmoney, buying/selling, earnings, possessions,memory and sensual or casual intimacy (especiallyFriday/Saturday: avoid illusion, welcome high-tech).Sunday’s friendly – but don’t presume an attractiveperson reciprocates. Retreat, rest, this eve throughTuesday – all’s well, though you might be frustratedby a last-minute glitch or chore Tuesday p.m. Yourenergy, charisma and effectiveness rise Wednesday/Thursday – start things, seek attention, woosomeone (in love or business) especially Thursdaydaytime! All month, you might meet a mate whiletravelling, talking.Scorpio Oct.23-Nov.21:Your status,prestige,careerprospects are in question Sunday, and consideringeverything, the answer should be good! Your hopes,popularity and happiness rise Monday/Tuesday. Butthat one you’re looking at Tuesday eve won’t be a good“home mate.” (Of course, if it’s your spouse, I’ll shutup.) Retreat, rest, contemplate and plan mid-week.You could make a very lucky contact, application oragreement Thursday, involving a government agency,institution or large company. (At the very least, luckyplans form.) Your energy and charisma soar Friday/Saturday: start something major!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Remain low-profile.Rest, contemplate, plan, deal with governmentagencies, large corporations and institutions. Studyyour life, and decide on big steps to change it where itneeds changing. Remember, the decade ahead is youropportunity to erect an “earnings castle.” That meansbuild now for higher earnings: train, choose a field,etc. All week, meditate, connect with spiritual realms,be charitable. Your career, ambitions are prominentMonday/Tuesday. The future you spy/chase/plan forThursday is a lucky, gratifying one! Delve into thatretire, contemplate and plan stuff Friday/Saturday.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: New hopes and goalswill slowly roll toward you for more than a decadeahead. One is forming this November. (It might havestarted in October; if so, it will “flesh out” now.) Thisnew goal comes from deep within, emerges froma) your subconscious, or b) events that don’t seemlogical on the surface. Your home becomes an “activeretreat” until early December. Make new friends now,join organizations. (Try “meetup.com.”) Sunday’s forsecrets. Wisdom, gentle love come Monday/Tuesday.Midweek, ambition has lucky results! Seek friends, fun,flirtation Friday/Saturday.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Be ambitious. Your placein the world has an almost imperceptible but fortunateupward lift now (and will into January). Relations withbosses, VIPs and parents are fruitful – show respect,hold up your end, put forth plans, proposals, insights– show off your skills. If you’re a civil servant, makeyour push/bid Wednesday; if an intellectual worker,Thursday; otherwise, push (or begin a project) Friday/Saturday. Relationships Sunday: you puzzle someone.Mysteries, lust, research, finances Monday/Tuesday.Gentle love, understanding come Wednesday andsweetly, luckily Thursday!Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Gentle love, compassion,a broader understanding and a mellow mood flowthrough November. You might fall in love Friday/Saturday, when these mellow qualities are emphasized.Write, broadcast. Tackle chores Sunday. Relationshipsflower Monday/Tuesday – though they could be a littleabrupt, unpredictable Tuesday p.m. Mysteries arriveWednesday/Thursday: great opportunity lies here,in intimacy, financial spheres, and “detective work.”Thursday’s investment or “life change” could payoff splendidly over time! Bosses, parents are touchy,impatient all November, so be diplomatic.

‘Do unto others as theyhave done onto you’ willlikely be the motivation forthe Abbotsford Heat thisweekend as they entertainthe Milwaukee Admirals fora two-game series.
The Heat are 0-2 on theroad this season against theAdmirals, having been out-scored 9-3 in the process bytheir West Division foes.
But Jim Playfair and hisband of formidable young-sters will look to change thatbeginning tonight when theHeat and Admirals do battle.
The Heat will look to usea recent two-game splitagainst the Rochester Ameri-cans earlier this week at theAbbotsford Entertainmentand Sports Centre.
The Heat had numerouschances in the second halfof the series Tuesday nightto sweep the Amerks away,but came up on the shortend of a 2-1 loss in a rematchof last year’s North Divisionsemifinal. Puck drop for bothweekend games is at 7 p.m.

Mission City’s JessyBrown of Derochewon two fights at
a tournament in Kelownato punch his ticket to rep-resent B.C. at the CanadaWinter Games Feb. 11-27 inHalifax, N.S.
Brown fought Nikko Ippolitofrom Kamloops on Oct. 23 andwon in a convincing fashion.
“From the start Jessy pres-sured Nikko onto the ropes,where he threw a combinationof power shots,” said MissionCity Boxing coach Dale Gatin.
“Jessy gave the referee nochoice but to give Nikko aneight count.” Later the refjumped in and stopped the
fight at one minute and 24 sec-onds into the first round.
On Oct. 24, Brown wasmatched with Marcus Sandhufrom Astoria Boxing Club, andit turned out to be no matchat all.
In the boxoff to qualify forthe Canada Winter GamesBrown’s good defence gavehim a 2-0 lead after the firstround. In the second round,the Mission fighter put morepressure on his opponent andlanded some combinations.The score was 5-1 after thesecond round.
In the third round, Brownthrew a straight right hand,which rocked Sandhu saidGatin.
“The referee gave Marcusan eight count. Then Jessy
jumped on Marcus right awayand threw a number of unan-swered punches and the ref-eree stopped the contest,” saidGatin.
Younger brother Cody Brownfought Ajay Boupari fromKelowna on Sunday in a boutthat went all three rounds.
Cody used good techniqueagainst his opponent, makinghim miss, then coming backwith good counter punches.
“His opponent was five inch-es taller then Cody, so we told[him] to go to the body andwear Ajay down,”said Gatin.“Cody was able to do this,landing some beautiful bodypunches. This zapped Ajay’senergy. Cody was declared thewinner by a unanimous deci-sion.”

For several fighters fromthe Abbotsford Judo Club,the 2010 B.C. Judo Cham-pionships at the Ag-Rec

“He’s fighting-off for the CanadaWinter Games, even though he wonthe tournament he still has to fightoff with the other athletes,” saidchief instructor Tokue Suda of theAbbotsford Judo Club.
His chief competitor is training inJapan now, so Beatch will have tofight him at a later time, probably inDecember to qualify.
Suda sent more than 50 competi-tors to the championships and waspretty happy with the results.
“We did pretty good. This is oneof the toughest and biggest tour-naments in B.C.,” said Suda. Morethan 350 athletes from all over theprovince took part.
There were many outstandinglocal competitors including JesseJobb, 20, who took first in the 81kgmatch after taking half a year offfrom judo.
“He had no problem beatingeverybody up,” said Suda. “All threematches scored full points.”
Other local first place finishers

A12-year-old Abbotsford boy is in hospitalafter being seriously burned while play-
ing with fire last week.The youth and four friends were mixing
flammable liquids together in a containerlast Friday afternoon when something wentterribly wrong, said Abbotsford Fire RescueService prevention officer Steve Oldroyd.
The flaming liquid ended up on the boy’schest and ignited his clothing. He sustainedsecond-degree burns to more than 10 per
cent of his upper body.“He also suffered some facial burns as he
was pulling off his t-shirt. We’re not sure whatkind of rehabilitation he’s going to need,” saidOldroyd. The boy is now in stable conditionat BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.
Young people playing with fire are a primary
concern of the AFRS, said Oldroyd.“It’s not just terrible for the victim and
parents. It’s one of the things emergencyresponders dread – a child that has beenburned.
