Abbotsford and Mission’s mainwater supply has been knocked

out after a mudslide occurred alonga logging road on Wednesday.

The slide happened along ForestService Road around 5 p.m. andruptured the adjacent pipeline forthe Norrish Creek water system that

typically provides 80 per cent of thewater to the two communities.

The slide has fully blocked theroad for about 300 metres and it’sestimated that it may take upwardsof four weeks before the NorrishCreek system is fully operational.

Jim Gordon, Abbotsford’s generalmanager of engineering, said waterservice to residents should be unaf-fected as water from Cannell Lake,the city’s wells system can meetdemand at this time of year; therainy season, when water use is

The Fraser Valley Toy Run is backin 2013 on Oct. 20 for its 27thyear, and while it’s open to

motorcycle enthusiasts of all kinds,organizer Barney Hopkins hopes thatnon-riders will also come out to sup-port the cause.

“Even if you don’t ride, or don’t wantto ride your bike, please come down tothe Ag-Rec, and watch the bikers comein,” he said. “Bring your family in thecar. The more people that get involved,the more we can help the kids.”

The annual charity run, held the firstSunday after Thanksgiving each year,collects new toys and cash donationsthat go to low-income families strug-gling to put gifts for children undertheir Christmas trees.

All donations go to Abbotsford Com-munity Services, which then distributesthe teddy bears and trucks and cash toits Christmas bureau and to its coun-terparts in Chilliwack, Mission, Hopeand Agassiz.

“Everybody, all those five communi-ties get something out of the toy run,”said Hopkins.

The charity ride began in 1986 with

Hopkins’ parents, Barney Sr. andLenore (they were affectionately calledPa and Ma by everyone, not just theirkids), and some of their eight adultchildren.

The Mission family rode in the annu-al event together untilBarney Sr.’s death. Formany years after, untilshe was into her 70s,Lenore rode a vintagewhite three-wheelerHarley that her childrenbought for her.

Lenore passed awaythree years ago and sincethen, Barney Jr. and hissiblings have continuedthe tradition. Someone will be ridingMa’s bike again this year.

To cover the event’s expenses, ridevolunteers hold hot-dog sales, garagesales through the year and sell toy runT-shirts, he said.

Last year, the City of Abbotsfordcame through with a grant to helpcover costs. This year donations fromthe Dewdney-Alouette Regional Dis-trict and a financial institution shouldalso help, said Hopkins.

They also connect with local bikeclubs in the Fraser Valley to get them

to participate.While only 150 riders took part last

year due to heavy rain, some years haveattracted close to 900 motorcyclists andbrought in almost 1,000 new toys.

The event culminates at the Ag-Recbuilding. Riders and others can getdoughnuts and coffee, buy toy ride T-shirts, enter draws and raffles.

There will be draws for a HarleyDavidson jacket, a one-night stay inHarrison Hot Springs, meat packages,

pillows and a king sizequilt that the womenriders spend the yearmaking.

Donated toys andgifts should be newand unwrapped.

“And don’t forgett h e t e e n a g e r s. Wedon’t expect an iPod,but even somethinguseful like a razor or a

gift certificate would be appreciated,”Hopkins said.

The ride will leave Mission from theparking lot of Liquidation World onHorne Street at 9:45 a.m. on Oct. 20.

There is no registration or entry fee– just show up.

The ride and the event at Ag-Rec areon rain or shine. This is a pinned event,all bikes are welcome.

Volunteers will be on site to takedonations until about 12:30 p.m.

To find out more details you can con-tact Hopkins at 604-832-3243.

CLAIMING MASSAGE AND ACUPUNCTURECOSTS WHEN INJURED

Stanley T. Cope

Hurt in a car crash or other accident causedby someone else’s fault? You could get moneycompensation. This typically includes money for“special damages” (in addition to compensationfor wage loss, pain and suffering, etc.).

In legal lingo, the mysterious“special damages”compensation category in this kind of case simplymeans your out-of-pocket costs before the trial.Some examples are the costs of medications,medical and some other treatments, taxi or mileagereimbursement to drive to doctors’ appointments,and repair costs of damaged property (like gettinga damaged car fixed). Of course, the expenseshave to be as a result of the accident that causedyour injuries.

The particular cost item has to be an amountthat can be exactly calculated. But it usually isn’t indispute if documented (be sure to keep receipts).Still, there are limits on what expenses you canrecover as special damages.

In a recent 2013 case, the B.C. Supreme Court hadto deal with a large claim for special damages by thevictim of a car crash. Lucinda, a social worker, wasrear-ended by another vehicle. She suffered softtissue injuries (e.g., sore back and neck) and morethan three years later, still experienced intermittentpain, stiffness and discomfort. She was alsodiagnosed with a chronic pain syndrome.

By the time of the court hearing, Lucinda, 41, hadreceived numerous treatments.They included over$46,500 worth of massage therapy, acupuncture,chiropractictreatments,physiotherapy,kinesiology,reflexology and naturopathic treatments. Butshe had gone for more treatment sessions thanmedically supported. She had also taken sometreatments she felt would be beneficial, but whichweren’t based on medical recommendation.

The court explained that, in general, whether you

can get reimbursement for your“special damages”depends on whether they were “reasonable.” Onefactor in assessing whether treatment expensesare reasonable is to look at whether they weremedically justified. You may be entitled to a veryhigh standard of care, i.e., reasonable care mayequate with very high care. But you’re not allowedcarte blanche to undertake any and all therapieswhich you believe will make you feel good.

Lucinda therefore could recover compensationfor only some of her massage therapy, chiropracticand acupuncture sessions. She was also able toget reimbursed the cost of some other treatmentslike kinesiology, physiotherapy treatments andPilates sessions, since they were in line withmedical advice. But she wasn’t able to recover theexpenses for things like naturopathic treatmentsand reflexology, since they weren’t proven to bereasonable in this instance.

Now, if you’re hurt in a car crash in BC andare insured by ICBC, you can get limited “no-fault” benefits (so-called Part 7 benefits) directlyfrom ICBC. These include certain amounts forspecial damages like the ones mentioned. Anysuch benefits you receive or could have gottenfrom ICBC are then deducted from or takenoff the amount of “special damages” the courtorders (since you can’t recover twice for the sameexpense).

Be sure to promptly seek good legal assistanceif you’re hurt through someone else’s fault ornegligence. There may be a short, limited timeperiod to take certain steps in your circumstances– and special damages is just one small piece ofthe overall puzzle.

Gasps of anger andsobs erupted in courtThursday as the driver

in a Mission crash that killedtwo people was sentencedto a $2,000 fine and an 18-month driving prohibition.

S t e v e nLineker, 36,was originallycharged withtwo countsof dangerousdriving caus-ing death andone count of dangerous driv-ing causing bodily harm inthe fatal crash on Oct. 16,2010.

However, Lineker pleadedguilty in May to the lessercharge of driving a vehiclewithout due care and atten-tion for an incident on theLougheed Highway thatresulted in the death of HazelLenore Hopkins, 67, and 33-year-old Anthony Shaves.

Abbotsford provincial courtJudge Gregory Brown stressed

that he wasn’t sentencingLineker for a criminal offenceor the loss of two lives, butrather for a “momentarylapse of attention” that haddire consequences.

Crown counsel had askedfor jail term of four to sixmonths and a four-year driv-ing ban.

N o s e n -tence couldever redressthe crash vic-tims’ familiesfor the lossof their lovedo n e s , s a i d

Brown.The Hopkins family has still

not recovered and Shaves’ 12-year-old stepson Owen wasstill struggling with the lossof his father figure.

However, when the judgeasked Lineker if he wantedto address the court or vic-tims’ families he chose notto speak.

Lineker was in his DodgeRam truck eastbound on theLougheed Highway just eastof Manson Street when he

struck the back of a ChevyCavalier that had stopped tomake a left turn into a mobilehome park.

The crash sent the Cava-lier across the centre lineand into the path of Shaves’Mazada Protege.

Hopkins, the passenger inthe Cavalier, and Shaves bothdied of massive injuries.

The driver of the Cavalier,Katherine Thiebeault, wasseriously injured.

Brown said the crash was atragic reminder of the inher-ent dangers of driving.

Around the time of thecrash Lineker made a seriesof phones calls, but he toldcourt he’d used a hands-freeBluetooth device during thecalls.

There was no evidence tosuggest Lineker was impairedor speeding, he remained onscene and went into shockwhen he understood the “car-nage” caused in the crash,said Brown.

Lineker accepted respon-sibility for the accident, losthis job and suffered serious

mental health problemsafterwards.

The aggravating factor of“most concern” was Lineker’sdriving record of 14 infrac-tions that including eightinstances of speeding, oneexcessive in nature, and two24-hour roadside prohibi-tions, said Brown.

However, most of theoffences had occurred manyyears ago, when Lineker wasa teenager.

“The facts of this casedo not warrant jail,” saidBrown.

G a b r i -e l l e H o f -fer, Shaves’m o t h e r ,could nots t e m h e rt e a r s f o l -lowing thesentencing.

She was particularly dis-tressed by Lineker’s decision

not to address the families.“That’s the worst thing,”

she said.“He didn’t even say sorry.

Even if he’d just said some-thing, just something.”

The Hopkins family saidthe sentence was laughable.

“It’s a joke,” said daughterKathleen Gibbins.

“He got out of this becausehe copped a plea.”

During the sentencing,Hopkins’ stepdaughter Rhon-da Santini clutched a photoof her mother sitting on herwhite motorcycle.

Referred to as “Ma” in thecommunity, Hopkins wasone of the founders of theannual Fraser Valley Toy Run,a motorcycle ride that collectschildren’s gifts for Christmasbureaus in the region.

Hopkins died the daybefore the 2010 toy run was

s e t t o t a k eplace.

“We had togo to her houseright after shedied, get every-thing and do itwithout her,”said Santini.

The annual toy run thatyear proceeded in memoryof Hopkins.

Thousands of runnersand walkers clad in pink

packed Rotary Stadium in thesunshine on Sunday morningfor the annual CIBC Run forthe Cure.

Close to 1,600 participantsof all ages, from infants instrollers to seniors joinedwith cancer survivors andtheir families and friends,to walk, run or roll in theAbbotsford event that raisedmore than $210,000 for theCanadian Breast CancerFoundation.

Abbotsford volunteer Runfor the Cure director SusanJohnston said the event wasincredible both in terms ofweather and the people whoparticipated.

The festive spirit of the dayis reflected in some of the“crazy” gear worn by partici-pants, said Johnston.

Team Magnuson Ford’sburliest men wore curly pinkwigs or short shorts compli-mented by pink stockingswhile the ladies opted forfuzzy ears adorned with thebreast cancer pink ribbon.

Another group of womenwore bras over their clothinginked with messages such as“fight like a girl.”

In the opening ceremonies,Bonnie Kelly, a young motherwho had previously lost herown mom to breast cancerand who plans to keep historyfrom repeating itself, sharedher inspirational story.

The event ended with theSurvivors Parade, in whichwomen who have beatenor are battling breast can-cer were honoured by thecrowd.

A number of teams alsoreceived awards for theirefforts.

THE TIMES TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2013 ❘ NEWS ❘ A7

Police obtained surveil-lance tape from the industrialpark that showed Butorac’swhite Chevy Cavalier enter-ing the area twice the morn-ing before Koroll was found.

Forensic evidence showedthe Cavalier’s right tire leftmarks on Koroll’s wrist.

Ad d i t i o n a l l y, Ko ro l l ’sblood and DNA was foundin the vehicle and her bloodwas discovered on one ofButorac’s shoes, which alsoleft prints on scene where thevictim’s body was found.

The police investigationalso found small spots ofLawton’s blood and DNA inthe truck of the Cavalier.

After he was charged withtwo counts of second-degreemurder, Butorac’s defenceapplied to have each casetried separately.

It was argued there weredifferences between the twomurders, such as the gap intime between the deaths,where the bodies were found,

the causes of death and lim-ited evidence tying Butoracto Lawton’s death.

However, the trial judgedismissed the applicationwith the crux of her argu-ment being that the DNA and

blood of both victims hadbeen found in a ChevroletCavalier exclusively ownedand operated by Butorac.

The trial judge also felt thatfact was compelling enoughto meet the threshold to allow

evidence from the Koroll caseto be applied to the Lawtoncase and vis versa.

The judge did concedeevidence the Cavalier wasinvolved in Lawton’s deathwas not as conclusive as inthe Koroll case.

But she found the similari-ties between the two women,the manner in which theirbodies were displayed anddisposed of, the injuries theysuffered and the involvementof the Cavalier in both casesmade it improbable two dif-ferent people committed themurders.

As such, she allowed simi-lar fact evidence should beadmitted to both cases.

Butorac appealed theconviction in June, arguingthe trial judge erred by notsevering the two cases andin allowing evidence fromeach murder to apply to theother.

The B.C. Court of Appealagreed on Thursday and hasordered a new trial.

It found no evidence that

Lawton’s blood and DNAin the Cavalier had beendeposited near the time ofher death.

“While the circumstanceswere highly suspicious, thereremained a significant evi-dentiary gap as to the eventssurrounding [Lawton’s]death,” stated the Court ofAppeal Justice Kathryn Nel-son.

As such, sufficient similari-ties in the deaths of both vic-tims can’t be established tomeet the standard for admis-sion of similar fact evidence,which could be prejudicial toButorac, she said.

The Court of Appeal alsostated Butorac can reapply

to be tried separately for eachmurder charge.

Butorac is also chargedwith second-degree murderand has yet to stand trial inthe 2006 death of MargaretRedford.

The body of Redford, 47,was found on May 20, 2006 inBertrand Creek in Aldergrove,not far from the townhousewhere Butorac was livingwith his father.

Police said that like the twoother victims, Redford strug-gled with substance abuseissues.

Butorac’s next appearanceon the Redford charge is setfor Nov. 5.

– WITH POSTMEDIA FILES

Judged erred by trying both cases together

The peak daily demand during theheat of summer this year in July toppedout at 103 MLD, said Gordon.

If the mudslide had happened in sum-mer it might have been difficult to meetwater demand, he said.

“We do have [water] redundancy formost times of the year . . . but if it hadoccurred in summer and we need 110or 115 MLD, we’re going to be chal-lenged.”

However, events like mudslides tendto occur in the wet winter weather, henoted.

The Norrish Creek single pipe sys-tem is vulnerable to mudslides, saidGordon.

“[The risk] is not easily fixed. That’swhy we’ve worked hard to developredundancy with the Bevan Wells andCannell Lake.”

However, at the moment the city onlyhas permission from the province to

draw on Bevan Wells, which can provide25 MLD, until 2015.

The vulnerability of the Norrish sys-tem and the deadlinesfor the Beven Wells weresome of the points theCity of Abbotsford raisedduring the campaign toconvince voters to sup-port the proposed StaveLake P3 water systemduring the 2011 elec-tions.

The city, headed byMayor George Peary, alsoargued Abbotsford wouldbe tapped out by 2015, a predicationbased on water usage data from 2010.

However, voters soundly rejected theP3 Stave Lake plan and the city is nowconsidering other options.

But due to the fixing of 5,000 waterleaks and bi-monthly billing, which hasprompted residents to conserve water,the city won’t need to add capacity to

the water system for another 10 years,said Gordon.

At that time Abbotsford will have hadto further its conserva-tion efforts, find moreefficiencies in the sys-tem or develop a newwater source or a com-bination of the three,he said.

While the NorrishCreek slide is repairedthe Forest Service Roadwill remain closed to allfoot and vehicle trafficuntil further notice.

The City of Abbotsford will undertakeall repairs and be reimbursed from theprovince for fixing the road and clear-ing debris.

However, the city will have to coverthe costs of repairing the Norrish watersystem, said Gordon.

At this point it’s not clear how muchthat will cost, he said.

No threat of water shortage

“[The risk] is not easilyfixed. That’s why we’veworked hard to developredundancy with theBevan Wells and CannellLake.”

A8 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2013 THE TIMES

The Abbotsford/Mission Timesis a division of LMP PublicationLimited Partnership.We’re published Tuesdays andThursdays from 30887Peardonville Rd., Abbotsford, B.C. The Golden Ears Bridge cost more than

$800 million to build, but that could bedwarfed by the costs of subsidizing it over thelong haul.

Last week, TransLink reported that it willcontinue losing up to $45 million a yearon the structure because so few drivers arecrossing the toll bridge. Traffic growth on thebridge could best be described as minimal,about two to three per cent per year.

TransLink agreed to subsidize the privateoperator of the bridge until it reaches project-ed driver numbers. That’s obviously a greatdeal for the private operator – they’re guaran-teed a steady income stream no matter what.Either they get a lot of drivers, or everyone inMetro Vancouver pays up through propertytaxes.

Sounds an awful lot like the same negotia-tor was used for the bridge as was used tobring the Abbotsford Heat to town.

There is no question that the bridge itself,the first crossing over any part of the riversince the Alex Fraser Bridge was built almosta generation ago, is pretty good. Six lanes,bike and pedestrian access, and it certainlycuts down the time to get across from MapleRidge to Langley.

But it was more bridge than we needed.It’s hard to see how ridership numbers willincrease much more than they have – the lasthope was that tolls on the Port Mann woulddrive more people to the Golden Ears. If theyhave, it’s not been enough. There just aren’tenough people south of the river who want tohead north, or vice versa, on a routine basis.

But the bridge is there, the contracts aresigned, and there seems little we can doabout the situation for now.

Do we need a replacement for the MasseyTunnel? Yes. Do we need more rapid transitand light rail? Yes.

But maybe we should replace the bridge’sgolden eagles with white elephants, as awarning against building too much.

◗ Opinion

Fighting in hockey not going awayOpening night of the

2013-2014 NationalHockey League season

was marred by a disturbingincident during a fight betweenGeorge Parros of the MontrealCanadiens and Colton Orr ofthe Toronto Maple Leafs.

Parros lost his balance duringthe scuffle and landed, foreheadfirst, onto the ice.

He was knocked unconsciousfrom the blow and lay motion-less on the ice for several min-utes, before eventually beingput onto a stretcher and takento the closest hospital. The goodpart about the incident is that,by early accounts, Parros willrecover.

On a grander scale, whatthe incident did was ignite thedebate about fighting in theNHL, for the umpteenth time.

The faction of hockey ana-lysts, fans and even former play-ers calling for an end to fightingin hockey grows every year andthose numbers will likely spikeagain with this latest incident.

Should fighting be banned?The debate rages on. Will fight-ing be banned? Not anytimesoon. It’s not only too much apart of the sport’s culture, butit’s also too much of a market-ing tool for the sport.

Video game companies usefighting as selling points fortheir hockey games. Televisionsports media types drool whena “good” hockey fight happens:

highlight-reel stuff. Until a fightbreaks out at a hockey gameand nobody gets up to cheer, itwill remain in the game.

And that’s a shame.I don’t mind the fight that

occurs when one player takesexception to a cheap shot deliv-ered to him by another playerand decides to take mattersinto his own hands. That’s nodifferent – other than the lackof consequence – than thebaseball player who charges themound after a pitcher throws athis head.

I don’t even have a huge prob-lem with one team’s tough guygoing after someone who tooka cheap shot at his team’s topplayer. But unfortunately, thosetwo instances are the exception,rather than the rule.

More often than not, whathappens is if my second-lineplayer knees your first-lineplayer, my fourth-line tough guyand your fourth-line tough guyline up next to each other oneor two shifts later and, as soonas the puck is dropped, so aretheir gloves.

That is the kind of fighting

that should be taken out ofhockey, because it is, for themost part, unnecessary.

Sadly, those are the fightspeople really want to see. Let’sface it: George Parros is not inthe NHL for his skating abil-ity. Colton Orr does not makenearly a million dollars a yearbecause he has a 100-mile-per-hour slapshot.

Those who say, “take awayfighting and you ruin the sport”really must question their logic.

The fact is that the vast – andby vast I mean more than 90 percent – of people who play, orhave played, hockey have neverplayed in a league that allowsfighting.

Fighting is not allowed inminor hockey. It is not allowedin any men’s league with whichI have ever been associated.There certainly is no fightingin any old-timers’ leagues. Andyet, somehow, people still con-sider it integral to the sport.

Odd, that.In the meanwhile, enjoy the

regular season. And for all ofyou who think that fighting isintegral to the game, enjoy the17-day break, from Feb. 9-26,when the NHL season is put onhold for the 2014 Winter Olym-pics. Surely you won’t be watch-ing that. It will be as boring asall heck.

Editor, the Times:Re: “Be sensible: decrimi-

nalize” (Craig Speirs Letterto the Editor, Oct. 1).

The letter was obviouslywritten by a person whosmokes marijuana and thegroup endeavouring to havea plebiscite on the matter isclearly using a word that isdesigned to steer the publicin their direction – SensibleBC.

I would also question hisclaimed statistics.

It does not take a lot ofthinking to see the potentialconsequences of legalizingmarijuana. Having our chil-dren and others deliberatelyexposed to second-handsmoke when the potentialeffects are well documentedis bad enough. Now theywant to make addicts of ourchildren.

No! We do not need toexpose our future genera-tion to another addictivesubstance.

If we are indeed goingto be “Sensible”, we needto make it clear we do notwant legalization of thisaddictive substance.

Some will argue that thegovernment will make bigmoney on the taxes collect-ed but it is clearly knownthat the tax revenues fromcigarettes and tobacco donot begin to cover the medi-cal costs created from itsusage. The same will defi-nitely apply to marijuanaand legalization will notdeter criminal activity.

Insure againstdisastersEditor, the Times:

When no-fault car insur-ance was proposed, lots ofpeople thought that it wasimpossible and ludicrous.

What about disaster cov-erage?

House insurance, if youhave any, covers only whatthe insurance companiespick and choose.

As a result of the recentdisasters in Alberta, Ontario

and Quebec, many peoplelost their homes and somelost all of their belongings.House insurance did notpay because these disasterswere all considered acts ofGod.

House and propertyinsurances have too many“do not cover” clauses.When there is a disaster,who pays the bill? We, thetaxpayers, do.

Therefore, the B.C. gov-ernment should have insur-ance in place to cover all ofits residents that file a taxreturn. Minimum premiumsof $100 for $100,000 cover-age.

Need more? Buy moreinsurance.

Homeowners would paya lot less house insurancepremium. Everyone whofiles a tax return would beinsured. Low-income earn-ers would be covered andtheir premium deductedfrom their tax rebate.

There would be very littlecost to the government,as the infrastructures arealready in place. The provin-cial government would col-lect over $1,000,000 a year.

We would all be winners,except perhaps the houseinsurance companies.

Of course, an Act of Par-liament would have to bepassed before implement-ing this type of insurance.

But if that is the only thingstanding in the way, doesit not seem logical to moveahead with this project?

Roger BoivinAbbotsford

Redekop makessome valid pointsEditor, the Times:

John Redekop makessome valid points (“ShariaLaw? No thank you” Letterto the Editor, Oct. 3).

The barbaric, primi-

tive notions in Sharia Law,derived from a man wholived 1,400 years ago andwhose marriage to a six-year-old was consummatedwhen she was nine (we havea name for that), do notbelong in modern society.

Clerics state thatMuhammad is the modelfor Muslims, and his namewas the second-most popu-lar name given in Englandlast year.

A brilliant book by aCanadian Muslim Professorof Political Science, SalimMansur (Delectable Lie: ALiberal Repudiation of Mul-ticulturalism) addresses thepresumption that in Cana-da’s multicultural society, allcultures should have equalinfluence.

The other elephant in theroom is the influence of reli-gion on government.

There is an importantsimilarity between Chris-tianity and Islam: both ofthem condemn to eternalhell any people who do notagree with them, only Islamwants to hurry them therewith the sword (or thesedays, with bombs and fire-arms).

Unethical and discrimina-tory intolerance by religionis unfortunately protectedby Canada’s Charter ofRights. Quebec is the firstprovince to attempt to limitreligion’s expression in gov-ernment services.

Harper, on the otherhand, has replaced an officepromoting democraticrights with a new Office ofReligious Freedom, presum-ably protecting the freeexpression of all religions,no matter how unethical,primitive and harmful theymay be.

We need to vote in ourinterests, and preserve thesanctity of secular values ingovernment.

Thank you forcompostingEditor, the Times:

Thank you Abbotsford!Thank you to all the citi-zens who have started toseparate their food wastefrom their garbage and havestarted to participate in thefood waste program allow-ing the city to beat theirdiversion goals and save

money. Thank you to thecity and contractor garbagetruck drivers who diligentlycheck every can of organicwaste to be sure there areno plastic bags, diapers orother contamination.

Thank you Mayor BruceBanman and to councilorsLoewen, Barkman, Gill andRoss, who recently attendedour open house in supportof organic recycling. Thankyou to all of the city staffwho have supported this

program and have ensuredits success.

We are proud to reportthat the facility has not hada single odour complaintnor has it rejected a singleload of organics from thecity due to excessive con-tamination. Abbotsford is ashining example for othercities in B.C. of what is pos-sible when the communityworks together to make adifference.

I encourage those busi-

nesses that are not yetrecycling their food wasteto jump on the bandwagonand to pull it out of thegarbage today. You willsave money while helpingthe environment and if it’srecycled at 5050 GladwinRd. you will help us makemore Class A compost forAbbotsford lawns and gar-dens.

OK with reformedO CanadaEditor, the Times:

The latest change pro-posed to Canada’s NationalAnthem – from “in all thysons command” to “in all ofus command” – ought notto trouble anyone. We’veupdated the anthem before.Anyone who went to schoolduring the Second World

War will remember singing:At Britain’s side, what’ere

betideUnflinchingly we’ll stand

...

We no longer have a king,and the empire has becomea commonwealth. But ourprayer for national prosper-ity has been abundantlyanswered – for Canadians ofboth genders.

Jr. Hawks bounce backThe W.J. Mouat Junior Hawks

rebounded after a tough loss to AbbySenior last week by beating the RickHansen Hurricanes 34-6 Thursdayin JV football.

Battling sloppy field conditions,the Hawks overcame early turnoversand built a 20-0 halftime lead.

Running back Nelson Lokomboran seven times for 130 yards and twotouchdowns before being replacedby Kosovar Hyseni and CameronTomm. Quarterback Coleton Barkermade solid decisions after a shakystart, throwing a touchdown pass toDion Pellerin, who also added twomore majors on the ground.

Defensive standouts were Pellerin,Tomm, Reuben Reardon and CarlosWormald.

The Junior Hawks continue leagueplay Thursday at 5:30 p.m. againstLangley Secondary at Mouat Field.

UFV golf coach ChrisBertram has neverseen a season like

this one.His Cascades men and

women’s teams both cap-tured the provincial cham-pionships after each wontheir final tournament ofthe year at the ChilliwackGolf and Country Club onSunday.

“The overall standings,the men were 50 (pointsahead) and 50 (pointsahead) on the women’sside. That’s unheard of,”said Bertram.

“I’ve never seen anythinglike what happened thisyear.”

His fledgling women’steam in its first year ofcompetition in PACWESThas been ranked No. 1 inthe country for the past

three weeks.On the weekend the

Cascades women posteda team score of 319, with a158 on the final round. TheVancouver Island Marinersfinished second (337 forthe weekend).

Even with a big lead goingin, Bertram admitted tosome anxious moments.

“It’s always nail-biting,sitting back, watching. It’snever easy.”

UFV has the No. 1 andNo. 2-ranked players in JenWoods and Dani Shap, butit was Kelley Dalzell whoshot her best two rounds ofthe season with an 81-82 tocount in the final round.

“She stepped up whenher team needed her justin time,” said Bertram.“Her scores were definitelyneeded.”

Shap’s 80-75 on Sundayalso counted.

Bertram couldn’t say

enough about his youngteam.

“To not lose all season,it’s amazing. You have tobeat every school everyweek. It’s never happenedbefore. It’s remarkable.”

The men were just asremarkable, winning theirsecond consecutive pro-vincial title and their fourthin the last six years with atwo-day team score of 563.Camosun College finishedsecond with 569.

But the victory was not aforegone conclusion, as theCascades were behind afterDay 1 on Saturday.

Connor O’Dell shot 63 inthe final round, which wasone stroke off the courserecord.

“That really sealed itfor us,” said Bertram. “Weknew he had it in him.”

O’Dell finished first over-all on the weekend with ascore of 135.

UFV men finished thePACWEST season with athree-tournament teamscore of 1,717, 50 strokesahead of second placeCamosun College Char-gers.

Their celebration wasshort-lived however, asBertram was back to worktoday, focusing both histeams for the 2013 CCAAPing national golf cham-pionship in Quebec City,Que. at the Royal QuebecGolf Club, Oct. 15-18.

Both UFV teams are nowranked No. 1 in the coun-try and Bertram believesbringing home a nationalchampionship is ‘definitelydoable,’ especially for thewomen.

“Looking at the scores,there’s reason to be opti-mistic that our ladies aregoing to be very competi-tive,” he said.

“They definitely earnedthe right to call them-selves champions, that’sfor sure.”

BC Hydro’s contractor for the Interior to Lower Mainland (ILM ) Transmission Project will be burning slash piles on BC Hydro’s right-of-way in the Districts of

Mission and Kent this fall. This work is planned to start in late September, weather dependent, and continue as needed through to the end of December.

The contractor has obtained the necessary

provincial andmunicipal permits and will

comply with all regulations. A key requirement

is that the contractor does not conduct burning

unless the venting index is “good”. This ensures

proper air movement exists to minimize smoke

impacts to people in the vicinity of the burning.

Now under construction, this 247 kilometre,

500 kilovolt transmission line will expand the

capacity of the system that brings power to

businesses and homes in the Lower Mainland

and Vancouver Island.
