ocial advocates hope to use the outrage sparked by the dumping of chicken manure by the city on an Abbotsford homeless camp last week to fuel a momentum to find more appropriate responses to marginalized residents. One better tactic is to uphold a bylaw already in place that requires the city to give residents of a homeless camp a day’s notice before the site is dismantled, said John Sutherland, chairman of the Abbotsford Social Development Advisory Committee. “The bylaw doesn’t say: ‘an early dawn raid with manure.’ There is supposed to be a 24-hour notice and that was completely ignored,” said Sutherland.

bbotsford lawyer John Conroy is undertaking a legal battle against new changes to the federal government’s medical marijuana program. On Monday, Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq announced some of the anticipated changes to the program, which includes banning individual home-based medicinal grow-ops in favour of larger government licenced producers. The new regulations mean sick or disabled people or their legal proxies with licences will no long be able to grow their own marijuana, said Conroy. The price of marijuana from the large producers will cost people up to four times as much as producing their own, said Conroy. The government estimates under the new program medical pot will be sold for $8 to $10 a gram while individuals grew their own for between $1 to $4, said Conroy. The price increase will limit some sick individuals, many on a low income, from being able to buy marijuana for their conditions. There is legal precedent that individuals with medical conditions with a doctor’s authorization have a Constitutional right to reasonable access to medical marijuana, said Conroy. Under the old program, those that couldn’t afford dispensary or black market prices grew their own marijuana, something they won’t be able to do in the future. Conroy expects to launch a Constitutional challenge on behalf of a coalition of medical marijuana users fighting the problematic aspects of the proposed regulations. “Basically, we’re saying these people’s constitutional rights are being impaired by what’s being proposed,” said Conroy. see MARIJUANA, page A11

Mission Secondary School’s Jesse Walker, favoured in the 110 metre hurdles, clips the second to last jump in the Upper Fraser Valley Track Meet at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford on Wednesday and goes down. He was disqualified from the event despite getting up to finish first, but the next day won the 100m final in a time of 11.25, the fastest time of the meet.

Mother goose bludgeoned on her nest of egg ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

bbotsford police have identified the three youths who attacked a nesting goose, leaving it bloodied and injured last week. As a result, a conservation officer contacted the three teenage boys, two aged 16 and one 17, and their parents, said Const. Ian MacDonald, who described the attack as sickening. The main aggressor against the

bird has been issued a $345 fine for molesting or injuring a bird, said a spokesman from B.C. Conservation Officer Service on Monday. A security guard at the Sevenoaks Shopping Centre discovered the Canada goose – covered in blood but still sitting on her eggs – in the parkade on April 27, said MacDonald. The guard immediately called Elizabeth’s Wildlife Rescue Center and its members arrived shortly after to evaluate the animal. The goose was still caring for

its clutch of eggs, so the experts decided not to remove the animal for care. Sevenoaks security called police early last week and provided APD with surveillance video of the incident Wednesday. A preliminary viewing of the tape by the mall’s security reportedly showed one youth hitting the goose with a long object while two or three others threw things at the creature who wouldn’t abandon her nest, said MacDonald. Elizabeth Melnick, who runs the

wildlife rescue centre, said Monday the bird continued to care for her eggs despite her injuries, and Sunday afternoon yielded a happy ending. Some of the four eggs in the nest hatched, and the mall’s security team escorted the goose, her mate and their goslings by foot through traffic to Mill Lake, said Melnick. The geese make up one of about seven nesting pairs that return each year to the parkade. see GOOSE, page A18

Proposal to pull 225 acres of farmland out of ALR ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

SCAN FOR PHOTOS

bbotsford city council has backed a request that the Agricultural Land Commission consider a controversial proposal to develop 225 acres of farmland into an industrial park in Bradner. Most councillors expressed support for the plan that wants to remove 22 farm properties from the Agricultural Land Reserve for a 125-acre logistics park adjacent to the already existing Gloucester Industrial Estates in Langley. Council reached the decision after appeals from more than 30 residents that both supported and opposed the plan forwarded by the Emerson Real Estate Group. The proposal, which the developer suggests will create 5,000 jobs and $11 million in property taxes, has generated division in the community of Bradner. Supporters and property owners hoping to have their land excluded for the development argued the industrial park would create high-paying local jobs, an increased tax base for the city and put poor quality agricultural land to better use. Opponents argued the project would negatively impact and endanger the rural community of Bradner, drive down property prices and see yet another sizeable chunk of viable farmland destroyed forever. Developer Ron Emerson said the project would help meet the acute shortage of industrial land in the Lower Mainland and support the Abbotsford International Airport and Tradex. Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce president Mike Welte called the project a “golden opportunity” that would create jobs and positive economic spin offs for

the whole region in an area where there currently isn’t significant agricultural production. However, Aird Flavelle, Abbotsford-Mission Green Party candidate, noted that the ALR existed precisely to keep land in reserve to guarantee future food security. Other residents labeled supporting landowners as speculators hoping to benefit from a plan that would increase traffic and crime in the rural community. While the soil quality might not be top grade, the land could still be used for green-

houses or mushroom and poultry operations, critics said. They also argued employment at the industrial park would likely be low-skilled, low paying warehouse jobs. One landowner in favour of the project said Bradner should be renamed “NIMBYville”. Formerly fallow, scat land would be put to good economic use, and she was “appalled by the arrogance” of those who professed to know more about a farm’s potential than its owners. “If this pocket of garbage

land is so valuable, where is the agriculture?” she asked. “It’s hypocritical for those who sit on unfarmed acreages to point the finger at me and dictate an obligation for me to farm my own land.” Other speakers defended Bradner residents “spirited defence” of their tight-knit community. Opponents wanted to preserve their beautiful agricultural community and peaceful lifestyle, said one resident. “[Proponents] are happy to see our community overrun by truck and commuter traffic, plagued by noise pollution and increased crime,” said the resident. “In short, they are motivated by greed and windfall projects.” Coun. Henr y Braun opposed sending the proposal to the ALC due to concerns taxpayers would have to shoulder costs associated with building a new highway exchange, water supply infrastructure and upgrades to nearby rural roads. Coun. Patrica Ross opposed the plan, saying it concerned a significant amount of farm-

land that would be gone forever and would destroy the community of Bradner. Counc. Dave Loewen supported the plan because the jobs, economic benefits would be in the best interest of the “community at large.” Ma yo r Br u c e Ba n m a n backed the plan saying he was confident in the “wisdom” of the ALC to decide w h e t h e r t h e p ro p e r t i e s should be excluded from the reserve. Councillors Bill MacGregor, Moe Gill, Les Barkman and John Smith also supported pushing the project to the ALC. If the land is excluded from the ALR, the developer will have to contribute $20,000 an acre, or a total of $4.5 million, to the Agricultural Enhancement Endowment Fund. The fund was established to preserve, protect and promote agriculture in Abbotsford when farmland is pulled from the reserve. I f A LC a l l ow t h e l a n d extraction, the application will require an amendment to the official community plan (OCP), rezoning and more public hearings.

Mayor scolds Metro on waste Controlling the flow of garbage to fuel incinerator

ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

Annual General Meeting Reminder

etro Vancouver officials invited to speak to Abbotsford council about their plan to block out of region garbage exports were soundly chastised on Monday night. Ab b o t s f o rd Ma yo r Br u c e Ba n man dressed down counterpart Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, also the Metro Vancouver chair, for what he said was a lack of consultation and respect for Fraser Valley concerns around M e t r o’s w a s t e management plans. GREG MOORE Front and centre for criticism were Metro’s future waste-to-energy incinerator and plans to prevent private haulers from trucking garbage out of the Vancouver region. Banman said Metro Vancouver has not encouraged discussion on the issues. “When your neighbours come and say we want consultation and we have serious concerns about this and you for all intents and purposes [ignore us]. . . we feel like you are pandering to us and not taking us seriously,” said Banman. “Every friendship, every neighbour has their disputes and what you’re hearing here . . . is that we don’t feel as if we’ve had meaningful discussion with you.” Moore responded by saying Metro came out to the Fraser Valley on four occasions and held townhall meetings around its waste management plan and proposed WTE project. Metro also plans to consult further with the Fraser Valley Regional District after it has narrowed down the WTE technologies and the incinerator’s locations down to three or four different options, he said. “If you disagree with our way of con-

Lease on life for seniors

CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

onstruction is about to begin on an innovative seniors’ housing project, developed over the last few years by the Mission Association for Seniors Housing. The sod will be turned Saturday for the Cedar Valley Manor, a life lease housing complex for adults 55 and older. Life lease is described as a financially secure blend of owning and renting – 95 per cent of the investment is returned to residents or to the estate when they are ready to sell. The outstanding five per cent is used to refurbish the unit and it’s then released under the same type of contract to the next occupant. The arrangement is common in Ontario and in the Prairies, said Judith Ray, MASH president. “The units go for a 29-year lease. In the life lease [MASH] have full responsibility for the upkeep of the building. Monthly fees are $300 to $350, depending on the size of the unit,” she said.

HOMELESS, from page A1 would be encouraged to take treatment and other services. Santiago said BC Housing, which would fund the project, just gave ACS the green light to discuss the project with its neighbours, and he gave his first presentation to the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association executive Wednesday morning. Some ADBA members are wary, but others like Ross Siemens, owner of Hub Motors, support the housing solution.

– JOHN VAN PUTTEN/TIMES

Street minister Ward Draper says homeless people are made to feel like nuisances.

The one and two-bedroom apartments sell for between $179,000 and $213,500. Work should be complete by the fall of 2014. So far, about half of the 42 units of the community-developed project have been sold, Ray said. MASH has held several events for the future residents, so many of them will already know each when they move in, she said. The complex was designed for to make aging in place simpler. CVM features a purposely-built structure with wide doors and no stairs, for example, there is an emotional security that comes from the supportive community of friends, and it boasts what the proponents say is Canada’s first “virtual retirement community,” called Cedar Valley Manor Connect. The sod turning event starts at 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Cedar Valley Manor site, 32821 Janzen Ave., Mission, across from the Cedar Valley Mennonite Church. Dignitaries expected are Mission Mayor Ted Adlem, MP Randy Kamp and MLAs Marc Dalton and Simon Gibson. See more at www.cedarvalleymanor.com.

“What we’re hoping to do is to take people by the hand and give them life skills. Some of these unfortunate souls never had life skills taught to them,” he said. “Ignoring it is not going to make the problem go away. These are people that can be changed, but they have to be given the opportunity.” Santiago said he’ll be discussing concerns about the proposal with the community over next several weeks. ASDAC also heard from 5 & 2 Ministries street preacher Ward Draper, who shared stories of homeless residents who have had tents slashed or their belongings sprayed with mace. Some claim this is done by the police, but Inspect. Tom Chesley said that isn’t police protocol and he would be looking into it. Draper is also invited to talk to senior police officers. The already high level of distrust of authority among the homeless is only exacerbated by the city’s harassment of them and actions such as the manure dumping, said Draper. “It’s understandable. They’re treated by society like a nuisance, and they feel like a nuisance,” he said. Draper said he’s fully behind the proposed housing project that he says will work for some of the homeless men, but he still yearns for some immediate and creative solutions for some of the tougher cases. “For others who have addictions, mental health and attitude issues, they approach life from a different perspective. They’re a different group of people. To house them will take a lot of creativity and risks,” said Draper. Mayor Bruce Banman and city manager George Murray, who took responsibility for the manure dumping action, were invited but had previous engagements, said Sutherland. ASDAC will meet again in July.

One man was arrested early Wednesday morning on Peardonville Road in connection with armed robberies in Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

olice have arrested a man in connection with four armed robberies within 10 days in Abbotsord and Chilliwack. Abbotsford major crime investigators and the RCMP emergency response team made the arrest in the 30800 block of Peardonville Road around 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning, said Sgt. Casey Vinet. Police are recommending four counts of robbery against the 38-year-old Chilliwack resident, expected to appear in Abbotsford provincial court on Thursday morning. “This investigation was a priority for us and the arrest is a result of a collaborative effort

between our office and the Chilliwack RCMP,” said Vinet. “Robberies such as these tend to occur in sprees so we are very happy that we were able to identify and get this guy into custody before any more businesses could be impacted.” The man is believed to be responsible for a robbery at a Chilliwack Gas station on May 24. He is also a suspect after three robberies in Abbotsford involving the Whatcom Wine and Spirits store on May 26, a Bank of Montreal on June 1 and the Mt. Lehman Liquor Store on June 3. APD released surveillance footage images of the suspect to the public following two of the robberies in an effort to identify him.

Harper botched Senate reform big time

he Senate has once again become a house of ill repute. But we shouldn’t allow the dubious expense claims of a few Senators to distract us from the real story here. Stephen Harper has botched the issue of Senate reform. Why is the Senate so resistant to reform? We have to go all the way back to the rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada in 1837 for an answer. The rebellions may have been the lamest in human history, but our colonial masters in London were none too pleased with our little contretemps. In response, the colonial government united the two colonies into the single province of Canada in the 1840 Act of Union. Although the population of Lower Canada was 650,000 and Upper Canada only had 450,000, both sections were given equal representation in the new assembly. The objective of this undemocratic constitution was to assimilate French Canadians and thereby eliminate the linguistic rivalry in Canada. It didn’t, but that’s another story. English-speaking Canadians were pleased with the new constitution. But in 1851, the population of Upper Canada surpassed that of Lower Canada, and anglophones became outraged by the undemocratic nature of the legislature. When the idea of confederation was proposed in the mid-1860s, rep-by-pop was a non-negotiable item for Upper Canada (now Ontario). But the other partners in confederation had their own demands. Lower Canada (or Quebec) wanted to be a province with exclusive legislative powers. And the maritime provinces

HAMISH TELFORD

political perspective wanted equal representation in the Senate to counter balance the demographic weight of Upper and Lower Canada. The English-speaking politicians from Upper Canada wouldn’t go for it. The whole project of Confederation was thus imperilled. Fortunately, a compromise was reached. Rep-by-pop would prevail in the House of Commons, while equal representation would be afforded to the “regions” of Canada in the Senate. The maritime provinces, Quebec and Ontario were each accorded 24 seats in the Senate. Later, the west was accorded 24 seats. Newfoundland was given six seats when it joined confederation in 1949, and now each territory has one seat. These numbers are fixed in the Constitution. Under the terms of the Constitution Act, 1982, most changes to the Constitution require the consent of the federal government plus seven of 10 provinces representing 50 percent of the population. Some changes require the unanimous consent of all 11 governments. With these amending formulas, it is virtually impossible to abolish the Senate or even change the pattern of representation for the regions. But when Harper came to power in 2006, he argued that it was within the power of Parliament to bring about an elected Senate

with senators serving a single fixed term of eight or nine years (rather than a lifetime appointment). But these too are constitutional changes. Liberals in the Senate argued that these changes require the consent of at least seven provinces representing 50 percent of the population. Harper refused to entertain this argument, and swore that he would not appoint any senators until Parliament had enacted his plan for senate reform. The prime minister seemed quite happy to have a stand off with the Senate, because he figured it would embarrass the Liberal Party. But ultimately it just resulted in the government’s own legislation getting stalled in the Senate. Harper eventually capitulated, stacking the Senate with Conservatives, some who have become a source of embarrassment for the government. Finally, earlier this year, Harper referred his plan for Senate reform to the Supreme Court to obtain a definitive ruling on whether it can be enacted by Parliament alone or if it requires the consent of some or all of the provinces. If he had referred the case to the Supreme Court when he first came to power, we would already have the answer. But it seems Harper was more interested in playing political games than resolving the constitutional issue. If Harper gets a favourable decision from the Supreme Court, he might be able to salvage his plan for Senate reform. But if it rules against him, he will have to come up with a Plan B. Fast. ■ Hamish Telford teaches political science at UFV. He can be followed on Twitter @hamishtelford.

wo steps forward, three steps back. That may be the strategy used to describe the City of Abbotsford social policies. Recently, the city trumpeted the opening of the George Schmidt Centre, a beautiful second-stage housing project that is run by the venerable Kinghaven Treatment Centre for men. This is a good, wonderful thing to have in the community, and the facility was named in memory of a tremendously compassionate man who believed in the potential of those he helped. Just knowing it exists inflates one’s heart with gratitude. Then there is the chicken s**t incident. Whatever community self-respect and sense of compassion the city leaders wish to instill in its citizens dissipates into thin air like a bad smell knowing its managers decided it was a good idea to heap a pile of chicken crap on its most marginalized citizens. For some reason, the scruffy guys huddled in the dirt battling who knows what personal demons under the trees across from the Salvation Army were deemed to be less deserving of our collective charity than the Kinghaven men, and of the most minimal act of respect – providing a 24hour warning – entrenched in the city’s own bylaws, for crying out loud. As it should be, the public outrage has been loud and clear, and our rosy embarrassment exposed around the globe. We applaud the mayor for apologizing, and the city manager for taking the heat, but the cowboys who thought flaunting city rules and basic human compassion was a good idea should be reined in. If there’s anything good to come of this, the Abbotsford Social Development Advisory Committee will suggest the city dust off its bylaw regarding homeless camps and get familiar with it. ASDAC members and the police want to hear more from the homeless and their advocates, such as the fellows at 5 & 2 Ministries, who have gained the trust of this hard to love crowd on the fringes. And a proposal for a low-barrier transitional housing centre for men should get support more easily, since the need for such a place is so obvious.

THE TIMES THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 2013 ❘

Mayor & others should walk in their shoes Editor, the Times:

Re: Times, June 11 Mayor apologizes to homeless The mayor of Abbotsford and all those involved in the decision to dump chicken manure on a homeless camp should be immediately fired, fined and forced into a treatment program for their addiction to inhumane cruelty to marginalized people (evidenced not only in the manure incident, but also the city’s staunch policy against harm reduction measures). The treatment program should be designed and implemented by homeless people, and would include three months of living on welfare ($610 per month), sleeping in shelters or outside if the shelters are full, and daily talking circles where they can learn about the violence of legislated poverty. Those in positions of political and economic power who are impervious to human suffering and increase individual and collective misery are much more of a threat to the wellbeing of our communities than those who sleep under a tree or self-medicate against personal trauma. Erin Peters Edinburgh, UK Formerly of Abbotsford

Who complained to City Hall re: homeless? Editor, the Times: Re: Times, June 11 Mayor apologizes to homeless I find this incident somewhat confirms the attitude of Abbotsford city hall and council when dealing with the Abbotsford addicted, homeless and those with mental health issues. Our police say, “No complaint has been received” in answer to why they did not investigate. Would not one expect the police to investigate a public mischief offence, particularly when they just recently assured us “No complaint is too small.” Perhaps a city hall directed-action is too chicken “s--t” to be considered an

offence. The mayor after all is the chair of the police commission. I recall the police attended Jubilee Park some years ago to eject a church parson who was delivering a hot meal to these same people. The police were accompanied by Coun. Smith and excouncillor [Lynne] Harris and I believe a local developer. That also made national media headlines to the embarrassment of Abbotsford citizens. It might be of interest to the police to find out who made the complaint to city hall, why it was not passed on to our police department and who authorized the manure spreader. G.D. Gray Abbotsford

Understanding rights & tolerance are key Editor, the Times: Re: Times, June 4, No more pride parades please Reader Miff Crommelin of Mission should have considered the following points before opining his or her point of view: 1. Branches of government or civil authority are compelled to allow all citizens the right to express their opinion or feelings peacefully on any social issue, whether they support it or not. 2. The principles in the preamble to the Canadian Charter of Rights includes reference to a certain word for only one reason . . . numbers . . . the number of voters who vote and who adhere to the unfounded concept of a ‘God’ because the power-hungry church has played too strong a hand in the development of the state in the past. 3. These principles predate the writings of what is in the Bible. 4. Wearing a micro-bikini

showing 7/8ths of one’s mammary glands, etc. . . . is considered a sinful act in most religions and countries of the world but commonly accepted in ‘Christian’ countries like Canada. 5. Civil law in Canada upholds the highest principles of right. 6. Supreme court judges do not shake their fist at anyone or anything. We need more people like reader Crommelin to come to his or her senses and to develop a greater understanding of government, the principles of the Charter of Rights, sin, legality and morality and, most of all, tolerance. G.E. MacDonell Abbotsford

Standing up for equality for all citizens Editor, the Times:

Re: Times, June 4 No more pride parades please I’d like to remind Mr. Crommelin that it isn’t the mandate of any branch of the government or civil authorities to discriminate or endorse prejudice, including prejudice against homosexuality. While the Charter does mention God, it also has a beautifully crafted section guaranteeing freedom of religion, thought, belief, expression, peaceful assembly and association. It seems to me that the gay community has as much right to a gay pride parade as you do to write the editor complaining about it. I also find it curious, and frankly pretentious, that you assume the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms refers to God in strictly the Christian sense – especially considering the clarity with which it guarantees freedom of religion. You say the deviation “from upholding prin-

ciples of right and wrong as given in God’s moral law” is a cause for concern with regards to the future of our country. I feel inclined to disagree. Separation of church and state is a necessity if we are to live in a true democracy. I do not share your pessimism for the future of our country. Your desire to disallow gay pride parades strikes me as parallel to oppression of women in overseas countries. This is not about political correctness. This is about upholding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and standing up for the equality of every man, woman and child. Let’s come to our senses and support the gay community and pride parades across Canada! Brian Radant Abbotsford

Publish road closures for huge events Editor, the Times:

Congratulations on a most successful fundraiser (Run for Water) culminating in a grand total above the $1-million mark. A huge thank-you to the volunteers, participants and sponsors for the planning and participation, especially in the light of such rainy weather on May 26. I just have a request regarding future events of a similar nature. It would be very helpful to those who have other destinations than the one mentioned above such as hospital personnel, restaurant workers, church goers, visitors to Abbotsford to mention a few. A map of the routes to be taken for future planned events would be very helpful to anyone needing to travel within the city on those days. This would be particularly appreciated by those who had to circumvent the city in order to reach their desired destinations. Anne Boschman Abbotsford

Freedom 55 begins with knowing Jesus D

uring the closing months of the 20th century, the western economy was booming and the Internet was starting to be taken seriously. The stock market was setting new records almost every day. One financial institution after another was promising historically unheard of annualized returns and more importantly they were promising freedom. Freedom 55 was the battle cry of the bourgeoning middle class baby boomers as they collectively set their sights on retiring a full 10 years earlier than expected. How did that work out for them? Thirty seven years earlier in the shadows of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. tried to convince the million onlookers that the freedom the Proclamation of Emancipation was meant to usher in 100 years earlier, was now finally here. His famous words, “Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last,” drew thunderous applause. Ask the families of incarcerated Black Americans who populate prison cells at a rate 600 per cent higher than white Americans how that worked out for them? Currently any one of us could find ample cases of people who were promised freedom with a needle, some powder, a bottle or a feeling of being desired for an evening and ask them how that work out? The BMW, second home, recent cosmetic enhancement or corner office can’t be left out either. How have they delivered on their promise? Those of us who embrace Christianity need to take a moment to reflect as well. Peter warns 1st century Christians about teaching, in the guise of Christ’s name that promises freedom as well.

Give your garden some summer loving.

These people are as useless as dried-up springs or as mist blown away by the wind. They are doomed to blackest darkness. They brag about themselves with empty, foolish boasting. With an appeal to twisted sexual desires, they lure back into sin those who have barely escaped from a lifestyle of deception. They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and corruption. For you are a slave to whatever controls you (2 Peter 2:17-19, NLT). Read on in Peter if you want to see how it turn out for them! In the end there is one way to freedom. In order to really appreciate that way we need to understand real captivity. Economic problems, physical confinement or being overwhelmed psychologically are all human challenges but they do not represent true captivity. True captivity is what keeps us from being fully human as God created us. It is the barrier that stands between us experiencing and a peace that passes all understanding. It is what keeps us from being settled in the midst of the storm. It is what keeps our fears and anxieties from melting into the intimate embrace of complete acceptance. An acceptance that has been prepared for us before time began. We are the problem. Our brokenness is the result of our best efforts to solve our captivity problem. Jesus himself tells us that if you know the truth, the truth will set us free. Jesus is that truth. He didn’t come to share a new truth, he came to share Himself! Do you know Him? Do you know freedom?

Musical soul & nerves of steel Fundraiser concert will send pianist to Halifax CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

aul Williamson’s supporters have so much faith in the 17-yearold’s musical abilities, they’re hosting a concert on June 21 to showcase his talents to the community. The recital is also a fundraiser to help send him and his mom off to a national competition in Halifax. The Abbotsford branch of the B.C. Registered Music Teachers Association chose Paul to represent the branch in the BCRMTA piano competition held last September in Abbotsford. The accomplished young pianist took first place, and that allows him to represent B.C. at the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers’ Associations National Piano Competition, held in Halifax from July 3-6. “It’s quite an honour to represent the branch I’ve grown up with,” said Paul this week. Paul began piano lessons at five with Laura Webster at the Music Language Studio in Mission, but by the time he was 10, she referred him to Abbotsford piano teacher Betty Suderman, a highly skilled artist herself. A confident performer, Paul embraces the challenge of tough classical pieces, such as the 3rd movement of

– SUBMITTED PHOTO/FOR THE TIMES

Paul Williamson, 17, an exceptionally talented pianist from Mission will perform at Abbotsford’s Peace Lutheran Church June 21. Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2, or Ravel’s Ondine, said his mom Joyce. “I’ve always loved music, particularly piano. I’d like to go to university and create a career in this,” Paul said. The Mission teen regularly enters competitions, including the Performing Arts BC the last three years. In 2012, he was invited to be one of six young Canadian pianists to learn with international instructors at the prestigious Morningside Music Bridge program in Calgary, and was invited again this summer. As a winner of the B.C. Competition of BCRMTA,

Paul performed this spring in North Vancouver, Campbell River, Penticton and Nelson as part of the Young Artists’ Tour. The senior piano champion at the Chilliwack Lions Club Music and Dance Festival in February, adjudicators recommended Paul for the high-level national class at Performing Arts BC. He placed first in that class at Performing Arts BC contest, held last month in Chilliwack. With that, he advances to the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals contest in Waterloo in August. When not competing,

Comedy night in Abbotsford Four comics headline at Finnegan’s

bbotsford funny guy Sunee Dhaliwal headlines a night of “fantastic four” comics at Finnegan’s Pub on June 15. Known as a club and crowd favourite who’s liked by the “jocks and nerds” alike, the University of the Fraser Valley student’s fame is growing. Dhaliwal has recorded for XM Radio, has had his

own Comedy Now! special on CTV, opened for headliners such as Charlie Murphy and appeared with Just for Laughs and MTV. Joining him Saturday are other promising comics from the region, Dick Thompson and Steve McGowan, both graduates of the Langley Fine Arts School in Fort Langley. McGowan opens the night with his high-octane energetic and “twisted” humour. Actor and sketch comedy writer Thompson is the ‘support act’ for the night.

The MC is comic Susan Hansen, also a LFAS grad and who happens to be Thompson’s sister, he says, and she’s also been on MTV and opened for the likes of Sabrina Jalees and Carla Collins. Tickets are $10, at the Mt. Lehman Liquor Store (30495 Cardinal Ave., Abbotsford) and Phoenix Cold Beer. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m. Finnegan’s is at 33780 King Rd., Abbotsford. Call 604-859-2220 for more. – CHRISTINA TOTH

Paul has performed as a piano accompanist with the Abbotsford Youth Orchestra, with Songs, Strings, and Steps, and with the Fraser Valley Symphony Orchestra. Home schooled until this year, the Grade 11 Abbotsford Christian School student also studies the cello with Joel Stobbe at the Langley Community Music School, performing in various ensembles. “I really like it, but it’s more of a hobby instrument,” he said. Along the way, the exceptional young musician and his sister Hannah (now studying violin in Victoria) gained a patron. Mary Petrali of Mission, who passed away last summer, loaned the youngsters her 6’2” Hamberg Steinway grand piano. “It particularly affected me, my growth as a musician, the way I play, and a lot of that is due to [the Petrali family’s] kindness,” Paul said. He m o d e s t l y s u g g e s t s that winning competitions involves a “bit of luck” as each judge responds subjectively to the performer’s own interpretation of the music, but his mentor brushes away his humility. “There’s a tremendous amount of talent and drive and intellect and nerves of steel that goes into a competition,” said Suderman. “Paul’s on a tremendously exciting trajectory. He’s a prodigious talent, an enormous technique, and a musical soul,” she said.

The Third Monday Magic evenings of family entertainment will debut on June 17 at the theatre with a show start time of 7 p.m. The magic community has been searching for a perfect theatre like this for years – and the FVMC members feel they have finally found it.

Tickets can be bought in advance at Abstract Glass in Mission, or online at www.FVMC.ca, as well as at the door. The FVMC is committed to a three-month run starting with June.

Three award-winning magicians – all who have won the title of Comedy Magician of the Year before – will be on the bill. Jonny B. Good will open and The Great Gordini will close the show. The emcee and host will be Norden the Magician. If you want to laugh until your sides hurt, and scratch your head in wonder – then come out to Third Monday Magic.

Q: My skin is feeling dry and looking quite dull … what

treatment can you suggest for a quick improvement? Lesley, Chilliwack

A: Chemical peels are a great treatment for an instant ‘pick me up’! These peels create an even and controlled shedding of our damaged skin cells as they exfoliate and stimulate the epidermal layers. The acids used in a peel are natural occurring acids, derived from fruits and plants. They work by dissolving the “glue’ that holds these dead skin cells together. It is a very quick, pain free procedure and can be repeated as often as every 2 weeks. After the peel the skin will immediately look smoother, radiant and feel softer, all done over lunchtime! The eﬀect of a peel is a kind of ‘spring cleaning’ for your skin!

Fraser Valley Cricket Club batter Tony Dhillon connects for a hit in game against West Vancouver Saturday at Bakerview field. The home team won the game 118-109.

he Fraser Valley Cricket Club beat their opponents from West Vancouver 118-109 at the official opening of their new pitch at Bakerview Learning Centre on Saturday, but it was all the local players who were the actual winners. After three years of not having a pitch to play on in town, and having to play all their 18 games, including home games as far away as West Vancouver, Abbotsford cricketers finally have a place to call their own. “This was a big fight to get this pitch from the city,” said F.V. Cricket Club president Jack Tumber. “I approached the mayor and said, ‘look what’s going on. We have to go to other places to play cricket.’ We were getting pushed around.” The history of cricket in town dates back to about 1974 when locals formed a club and played on grass at McMillan Park near the curling club. Later they poured a strip of blacktop on the field to make a pitch. In the late 1970s they moved to Exhibition Park, where a pitch was constructed, but more players and teams joining the league meant they needed another pitch. One was constructed at Clearbrook Park about the same time the decision was made to turn the Exhibition Park pitch into a grass only international pitch, but it never materialized said Tumber. “Nobody’s playing on that,” he said, adding

On the links Brian Bates and Mitch Lock, both of Abbotsford, finished fifth and eighth respectively in the Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Ledgeview Golf Club in Abbotsford June 6. Bates shot 74-70-73 for a 7-over 217 to tie with Norm

Bradley of Kelowna for fifth spot, while Lock shot a 9over 219 (73-72-74) to claim eighth. The tournament was won by Kris Yardley of Maple Ridge who who shot 212.

that’s still the case today. Cricket clubs played at Clearbrook Park for about three years but the site turned out to be less than ideal, as locals took over the pitch at night after the team games were finished, and neighbours started complaining about the noise and ensuing vandalism. The pitch was closed in 2010 and the Fraser Valley Cricket Club (one team) and the Abbotsford Cricket Club (with several teams) had nowhere to play. With 18 games in a season that stretches from late April into September the teams were stretched pretty thin. “Last year, we struggled with the traveling,” said Tumber, who admitted it wasn’t much fun playing ‘home games’ in Vancouver and West Vancouver. After getting the run-around and possibilities of sites that didn’t pan out, the clubs finally got approval from the school board and the City of Abbotsford early this year to build a pitch at Bakerview school on Marshall Road. It was finished a couple weeks ago. The site seems ideal and is now used every day for club games and practices. “When we’re playing cricket, people are getting out of their cars and watching the game,” said Tumber. “It’s great that we don’t have to travel to play our home games. We can play at home now.” With members ranging in age from 18 to 65, the clubs are also looking at starting a youth team, as there is growing interest from kids as young as age 10 who want to learn to play.

The flower everybody loves to hate E

urope has contributed many weeds to Canada that challenge the patience and the joints of gardeners - buttercups, for instance. At this time of year, Ranunculus repens, the creeping buttercup especially comes to mind. Aside from small, bright yellow flowers, it’s a difficult plant to love. It creeps with long runners down pots, across concrete and over garden edges. When it finds soil creeping buttercup stretches up up to twp feet (60 cm) and seeds all over. The Field Buttercup (Ranunculus acris) looks similar but bigger, at three feet (one metre) tall. Both can kill incautious grazing animals and are reputed to rob the soil of potassium and poison nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Both also turn into a thick, densely-rooted mat if allowed to mature. When removing them at that stage, it’s useful to probe the rootballs carefully because small spring bulbs easily hide within those root masses. When the area is cleared, millions of weed seeds will have been liberated. That’s why it’s useful after

ANNE MARRISON

Green thumb removing weeds from flower beds to mulch immediately with composted bark, mushroom manure or commercial compost. It won’t smother weeds for ever but will give you some weed-free months, or even a year or two. A very long-neglected buttercup patch needs tougher handling. It may be necessary to move out any precious plants and cover the area with black plastic for a year or so. Buttercups love moisture and light. Dryness and dark is fatal to them. The themes of moisture and greedy feeding habits run through many members of the buttercup (Ranunculus) family. These include thalictrum, clematis, anemones, aquilegias, delphiniums, hellebores, delphiniums, celandines and aconitum. Many are extremely poisonous.

– JOHN VAN PUTTEN/TIMES

Creeping buttercup is an invasive plant that gardeners find hard to get rid of. Helllebore seed, for instance, can burn skin. But many too, have stunningly beautiful flowers and, like buttercups, an aptitude for survival. Once you know that something is basically a buttercup, it’s easier to treat it in ways that make it happy – and also clue into what bad habits it might have. For instance, aquilegias, hellebores and celandines are all

spreaders and seeders. All love rich feeding and (although none of them will grow in a swamp) all respond very well to moist soil. Clematis also loves rich feeding and moisure, and though it doesn’t spread as an individual plant, it seeds so enthusiastically that some types have a reputation for invasiveness. Noticing the kind of root and the type of leaf gives you even more

information about variations. For instance, bulbs and fat tuberous roots are a storage place for food. Plants with this type of root can be forgiving after disturbance because they have enough nourishment stored up to trigger growth again. Pulsatilla vulgaris (formerly Anemone pulsatilla) has a finely dissected leaf and a deep taproot. It’s a prairie anemone which flowers in the moisture of snowmelt then hunkers down for a prairie summer drawing moisture from deep-down and resisting moisture loss with a wiry leaf.
