Fast stands pat as trade minister

ALL BUFFED UP

Cabinet shuffle does not affect local MP CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

“I encourage people to use lawful ways of talking through the issues and coming up with solutions together,” said Santiago. The incident follows ADBA’s public opposition to the ACS proposal to build a low-barrier, supported housing project where men who are homeless or at risk of being homeless can live for up to two years. The ‘housing first’ initiative fills a gap between a shelter bed and permanent homes in the Abbotsford’s range of housing needs, said Santiago.

b b o t s f o rd M P E d Fa s t retained his portfolio as Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway when Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced his mid-mandate cabinet shuffle on Monday, “I’m very, very pleased, as we’ve got some unfinished business and I’d like to move ahead on this with our team,” he said Monday. Fast, first elected federally in 2006, has held the international trade post since May 2011. In that role, the for mer Abbotsford city councillor is responsible for the oversight of brokering international bilateral trade deals. These include agreements with the European Union, now underway for four years; deals in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which involves 12 countries including Canada; trade pacts with India and an economic partnership agreement with Japan this spring. He said a key priority for his ministry and the government is to update its Global Commerce Strategy, a comprehensive trade and investment framework that will help open new markets for Canadian and local entrepreneurs, investors and sectors. “A very local example are B.C. blueberries,” he said.

There was plenty of spit and polish used on Saturday, as beauties like this one were on display at the Mill Lake Cruise-In Classic Car Show. There were between 400 and 500 cars from throughout the province and up from the United States. Approximately $20,000 was raised, to be shared between the MSA Museum Society and the Abbotsford Arts Council. Organizers say the positive feedback has them optimistic of the event growing even larger in the future. Elvis impersonator Jeff Bodnar wowed the crowd with his performance.

From left, Donna Rowat, Sandie Zdunich, Kate Gruenwald and Mike Rash watch David Anderson demonstrate the use of a defibrillator, with B.C. Ambulance instructor Catharina Goossen at the Mission Leisure Centre on Tuesday. An automated external defibrillator will be available for public use at Fraser River Heritage Park, bringing the number of AEDs in the district to 16.

Life-saving lessons Mission now has 16 automated external defibrillators in the community

CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

ive more Mission residents were trained to save lives last week, thanks to the B.C. Public Access to Defibrillation (PAD) Program offered by the Heart & Stroke Foundation and the B.C. Ambulance Service. The grounds crew from Fraser River Heritage Park spent the better part of last Tuesday learning cardio-pulmonary resuscitation basics and how to operate an automated external defibrillator. Along with the training, they also got some piece of mind. “A couple of years ago, someone had a heart attack at the park. All we could do was to call 911,” recalled Sandie Zdunich, a gardener at Fraser River Heritage Park. Now, with the AED on hand at the well-used park, and with the CPR training she and her colleagues received last week, she feels more confident she’ll be

able to deal with a critical situation. “It’s just great to have this on hand,” Zdunich said. The AED will be attached to the park’s washroom facility, next to the Blackberry Kitchen. Fraser River Heritage Park is an ideal location, as there are several community events there throughout the year, said Catharina Goossen, the B.C. Ambulance Service attendant who led the group through the program at the Mission Leisure Centre. As class member David Anderson demonstrated, the AED is easy to use. Just turn it on and follow the instructions. They’re also tamper-proof, said Goossen. The AED won’t discharge an electric current to a person’s heart if there is a regular, normal heartbeat. “You can’t accidentally or deliberately set off the defibrillator,” said Goossen. The AED at Fraser River Heritage Park brings the number of the life-saving

devices to 16 in the community. They are located around the district, wherever people congregate. To ensure they are in working condition, Mission Fire Rescue Service members check each of the AEDs every month. “They check the batteries, the electrodes, pads and the overall condition to make sure they’re operable,” said acting fire chief Bob Cannon. The fire service, which carries AEDs on three of its own service vehicles and has one at the main hall, is definitely supportive of the program. “They’re a life-saving piece of equipment and they’re user friendly. You just have to follow the prompts,” Cannon said. MFRS has used them for 10 years, “and we’ve have numerous successes with them. They are part of our first responder training program.” The other AEDs in Mission are at the seniors centre, at city hall, at the RCMP detachment, the Legion, at each of the three high schools, at the Mission Leisure Centre, the Mission and District Rod & Gun Club and the Mission Sports Park.

fourth man has been charged in connection to the 2008 double murder of a Mission couple. Thomas Robert Holden appeared in Surrey provincial court on Monday, charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Lisa Dudley and Guthrie McKay, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced yesterday. Police believe Holden played a significant role and worked with the three other suspects to plan and commit the murder of the victims, said IHIT Supt. Kevin Hackett in a press release. On Friday, co-accused Bruce Main, 66, entered a guilty plea to two counts of manslaughter in court and was sentenced to eight years behind bars. In March 2012, shooter Jack Woodruff, 56, pled guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and is serving a life sentence. The remaining suspect, Justin MacKinnon, has pled not guilty to the charges he is facing and awaiting trial. Dudley, 37, and her boyfriend McKay, 33, were discovered Sept. 22, 2008 by a neighbour, four days after being shot in their Greenwood Drive home, which housed a marijuana grow-op. McKay, a father of three, was dead but Dudley was tied to a chair and clinging to life, despite gunshot wounds to her neck. She died before she could be airlifted to hospital. The RCMP was criticized for its response to the report of shots fired in the area the night the couple was shot. An officer was dispatched to the area but didn’t get out of his vehicle to investigate or speak to the neighbour who called 911. The RCMP subsequently made it mandatory for officers to talk directly to 911 callers who report gunshots. Dudley’s family recently went to court and got the goahead in an attempt to sue the RCMP for mishandling the homicide investigation.

Downtown businesses polarized on housing project PROJECT, from page A1 The project would mean residents could get a roof over their heads before being encouraged to seek treatment and access other services, rather than the other way around. “Until you have a roof over your head and are taking care of basic survival issues, it’s

hard to deal with the deeper issues such as addiction, mental health or basic life skill issues,” said Santiago. The supported housing project, which would built next to the ACS building at 2408 Montvue St., would be staffed until 9 p.m. and have a caretaker on site overnight. The facility would have guidelines and be a home to

residents looking to transition to more permanent housing, and is not a temporary shelter or needle exchange, stressed Santiago. However, much of the ADBA’s membership has serious concerns, said Stewart. ADBA members are involved with a number of social issues, including homelessness, but are

Tina Stewart, executive director of the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association, said the business group got a threat over its opposition to a proposed housing project in the downtown area.

Fast hoping to tap into Chinese market Local berry growers and processors who have invested in massive cold storage facilities “are in a perfect position to advantage of that,” said Fast. He said he hopes to have the protocols in place to ship fresh blueberries to Chinese consumers next summer. “This is one way we can help open markets,” he said.

worried about the project’s impact on the downtown core, she said. “We are not opposing in any way helping the homeless . . . but we are opposing the type of facility they are proposing,” said Stewart. “[Residents] will not be turned away if they are actively addicted to drugs or alcohol . . . and we’re concerned about what that’s going to do to our neighbourhood.” The ADBA and area businesses have spent time and money to transform the historic downtown into a vibrant neighbourhood from an area “people used to drive around to avoid” a couple of years ago, said Stewart. Business owner Randy Bishop, who owns one of the largest retail buildings in the area that houses Mad Dog’s Sports and other businesses, said the location of the project is problematic and could pose safety and crime issues for the area. The housing project would be close to the downtown’s liquor stores and pubs and the drug trade might shift into the area. “I don’t think it’s the right

setting,” said Bishop. “My job is to protect my business and investment and that of my tenants . . . most of the people endorsing it don’t own a business or property down here.” However, ADBA member Ross Siemens, who is the owner of Hub Motors, is supportive of the plan. Siemens, also a board member with ACS, said there a lot of misconceptions about the housing proposal. “There’s a misperception that it will pull people in who don’t want to be part of programming,” said Siemens. “But people are powerless to break the cycle unless they get a roof over their head and food in their stomach.” The location of the facility means residents would have easy access to ACS supportive services and programs, as well as those provided by the Mennonite Central Committee and the Salvation Army nearby, he said. Siemens understands business owners’ fears. “They’ve put an awful lot of work, time and effort and got a lot to lose,” he said. However, he stressed some

concerns could be alleviated if a dialogue got underway between ACS, business owners and the ADBA. Businesses could derive some reassurance by looking at ACS’s history of work within the community, he said. “The ACS and their staff have a stellar track record. I don’t think anything the ACS has ever done has been in question.” Santiago also pushing for communication between those involved. “ACS is inviting businesses to dialogue about what the project can be and what challenges it can pose to small businesses in area and together come up with solutions,” he said.

Conservation officers on hunt after Mission black bear encounter ROCHELLE BAKER Abbotsford Times

– ROCHELLE BAKER/THE TIMES

Conservation officer Dave Cox stands by a bear trap set near the Cedar Valley Connector in Mission Friday to catch a problem bear.

New website tracks bears CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

s there is a bear in your neighbourhood? Maybe a cougar? Mission and Abbotsford residents can now keep track of reported black bear and cougar sightings on the WildSafeBC website. The recently launched website is loaded with information for urbanites and those enjoying the outdoors on how to avoid conflicts with wild animals such as coyotes, bears and cougars, and what to do when they are encountered. The main page also has a link to the www.bearaware. bc.ca website, which has a new bear sightings map feature; the WARP or Wildlife Alert Reporting Program. You can zoom into the Mission and Abbotsford area on the map and see where and when people have reported seeing black bears and other creatures. The bear icons are colour c o d e d : G re e n f o r b e a r s attracted to bird feeders, light green for fruit trees, red for garbage. And you’ll also get pop-up information on the nature of the conflict and some basics on how to avoid them. “It’s fun to play around with. It gives you a really good idea of what’s in your area,” said Laura Chappell, program co-ordinator for the Fraser Valley Regional District. Sightings are based on calls

Bearaware.bc.ca has wildlife sightings map, tips on what to do in case of encounters from the public to the RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) line, and are updated about twice a week, but will be updated more frequently as the site is further developed. “Eventually the goal is to get an e-mail alert (to registered users) if there is a bear or a cougar in your area, especially to schools,” she said. With the advanced filters, visitors can break down the data into even more details. A related Facebook site has field videos, reports, statistics and photos of animal tracks and photos. WildSafeBC also has advice on what to do when encountering a black bear in the woods: Use a low calm voice and back away – never run. “As a general rule, you don’t want to run away from a bear. It just triggers a predatory reaction, like it does with a dog,” Chappell said. With cougars, “you want to look big and threatening,” she said. Maintain eye contact and speak to it in a loud firm voice, to establish that you are not an easy target. Developed by the B.C. Conservation Foundation this year, the WildSafeBC program is a direct descendant of the popular and very successful Bear Aware program that has run since 1999. The program’s mandate is to reduce conflict between

bears and other wildlife and humans through awareness, co-operation and education. It seems to be having an effect – over the life of the program, it claims the annual number of bears being destroyed in B.C. has dropped from about 1,000 a year to about 500 a year. The site offers common sense information on how to reduce wildlife attractants – scrub your barbecues, for instance, pick up ripe fruit, and don’t leave your garbage and compost out overnight. Chappell and summer students will also be out in the coming weeks to visit local neighbourhoods, particularly in Mission, to advise residents how not to attract bears. “We’re working our way

through Mission because basically the whole community is attractive for bears,” she said. “There’s a lot out there to attract bears. There’s a lot of garbage in the area,” she said. She’s advising residents to keep their garbage inside until the morning pick-up, and to ensure there is no pet food left outside and to stash away the bird feeders for the summer. “At this time of year, [birds] have other options. Basically you’re just feeding the raccoons and squirrels,” she said. See www.wildsafebc.com/ WARP or www.facebook. com/wildsafebc for information. Find creature sightings at www.bearaware.bc.ca.

onservation officers are scouring Mission for an aggressive black bear after it attacked a man on Thursday night. The man fought off the bear and luckily escaped with only scratches but the Conservation Officer Service isn’t taking any chances, said COS officer Dave Cox on Friday morning. “We have a team of officers actively trying to capture this animal,” said Cox. Elias Hart, of Mission, was walking along a path through the green space adjacent to the Cedar Connector at 8 p.m. when he encountered the bear. Hart was eating some fast food he’d bought while heading to work when he saw the bear three to four feet away, said Cox. As Hart turned to run, the adult animal swiped his leg and brought him to the ground. “The bear tripped him “We don’t live in New up and he fell and the bear York. Seeing bears crawled over top of him,” around is pretty stansaid Cox. Hart then grabbed a dard.” nearby chain link fence – Artur Gryz and dragged himself up yelling. He managed to get past the fence towards the busy road where passing cars then scared off the bear. “The man only suffered only superficial wounds,” said Cox. “He’s fortunate and did the right thing against a predatory attack, which is to defend yourself.” Cox said the bear’s behaviour leaves COS with no choice as to how to deal with the situation. “That type of behaviour is concerning for the agency and public and could cause serious bodily harm or a fatality, so the bear will have to be put down.” The CSO has set up a bear trap just off the Cedar Connector south of 7th Avenue not far from where the attack took place. Mission resident Artur Gryz stopped to talk to Cox and express his concern that Mission residents were now overly fearful of bears after news of the attack. “We don’t live in New York. Seeing bears around is pretty standard,” said Gryz. The animals often pass through his neighbourhood twice a week and there’s never been any issue, he said. “The last thing you want is people freaking out in the community,” said Gryz. “Being bear aware is something people need to know about and bears are our neighbours.” Cox agreed there’s no reason for Mission residents to become overly frightened of bears. While the COS can’t take this particular attack lightly, officers access each bear call and incident differently, he said. There are lots of calls about bears in Mission but very few of the animals exhibit behavior that requires the COS to intervene because of public safety, said Cox. Taking measures to not attract bears is the best method to avoid bear encounters and attacks like the one on Thursday are rare, he said. “Just like a strange dog . . . we have to respect but not fear bears.” The B.C.

Crown wants jail time for fatal crash Lawyer suggests incarceration would serve as a warning to others that speeding will not be tolerated

CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

rown counsel has asked for a prison sentence of one to two years for a young Abbotsford woman who was driving at an estimated speed of 125 km/hr before a 2011 crash on a country road that led to the death of her friend, Kasha Dezainde, 19. Stephany Cheryl Holly Nyl, now 21, pleaded guilty earlier this year to the charge of dangerous driving causing death. “Case law suggests an appropriate sentence for this kind of offence is 12 to 24 months,” Crown lawyer Wayne Norris said after a presentencing hearing for Nyl at the Abbotsford provincial court last Wednesday. The sentence would include a probation period and a driving ban of up to five years. Judge Melissa Gillespie is expected

to make her ruling at Surrey provincial court at 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 7. Norris noted that Nyl had no criminal record, nor was alcohol a factor in the deadly crash. He said Nyl’s guilty plea came “relatively recently” after Nyl and her counsel realized there was no viable defence, as there was “overwhelming evidence” she was engaged in dangerous driving. Nyl also had no recollection of the crash, he added. “She was simply driving at excessive speed,” which police traffic reconstructionists calculate to have been more than 125 km/hr, said Norris. On Jan. 30, 2011 at about 4:30 p.m. Nyl was driving a 1992 Nissan NX hatchback in the 33500 block of

Abbotsford woman killed in Langley crash ROCHELLE BAKER Abbotsford Times n Abbotsford woman was killed in a crash in Langley early Sunday morning. The woman, 20, was driving a Honda Civic north on the Fraser Highway when it collided with an eastbound Cadillac Escalade in the intersection with the Langley Bypass at 6:50 a.m., according to RCMP. The Escalade, driven by a 69-year-old man from Surrey, was proceeding on a green light, said RCMP. The young woman died of her injuries on scene. The Surrey driver was transported to hospital with minor injuries and later released. The cause of the collision is still being determined but investigators don’t feel speed or alcohol was involved, said RCMP Const. Craig van Herk. The intersection was closed most of Sunday morning as police investigated. Both vehicles in the crash are undergoing mechanical inspections. RCMP has not released the name of the victim. Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

“Too many young drivers in Canada and in B.C. think that they’re invincible, [that] they’re good drivers. But when you drive like this, there are consequences, there is a price to be paid.” – Wayne Norris

Page Road in rural Matsqui Prairie in Abbotsford. When the vehicle went over a raised railway crossing, Nyl lost control of the car. It became airborne, then slid on the road several metres and crashed into a tree at the end of a driveway. The legal speed limit on Page

Road is 60 km/hr, and there is no stop sign at the railway crossing. Dezainde, her passenger, died at the scene due to severe head injuries. Nyl herself spent about two months in hospital care to recover from head and internal injuries, Norris said. Nyl’s lawyer Philip Derksen asked the court to suspend the sentence, or at the most, impose jail time of 90 days to be served intermittently, said Norris. However, a sentence of incarceration may act as a warning to drivers, suggested the Crown lawyer. “We’re hoping the message will be that this type of driving simply can’t be tolerated,” said Norris. “Too many young drivers in Can-

ada and in B.C. think that they’re invincible, [that] they’re good drivers. But when you drive like this, there are consequences, there is a price to be paid.” The court also heard an apology from Nyl on Wednesday, and victim impact statements from the family. At the time of her death, Dezainde’s aunt Cori Jantzen said, “It’s going to be so hard to live without her. She [was] amazing. She was such a good kid.” The young woman had attended Robert Bateman Secondary and was enrolled at the University of the Fraser Valley, her family said. Jantzen said Kasha liked art and computer drawing, and wanted to design houses someday. “She was just silly, bubbly and always smiling,” Jantzen said. “She’s going to be so missed.” – WITH TIMES FILES

Public hearing on proposed Steelhead gravel pit slated for Wednesday evening CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

esidents of Mission’s rural Steelhead community are encouraged to attend a public hearing on July 17 regarding the proposed Thomas Road (Steelhead) mining application permit. The public information session will start at 7 p.m. at the Mission Lodge Best Western on Lougheed Highway in Mission. The intent of the public meeting is to provide an opportunity for the proponents to present their plans to the public and for the community to respond to the project. The public input will also be forwarded to the Ministry of Energy and Mines. Developer Dean Hodgson of H & H

Contracting, also the owner of TopEnd Homes, applied to extract up to 447,000 cubic metres of aggregate over the next several years from his 80 acres at 33105 Thomas Avenue in the rural community. His gravel pit application came after the District of Mission turned down Hodgson’s two earlier proposals to subdivide his land in the Steelhead community. The first was for 61 suburban lots of 0.88 acres; the second proposal for 31 lots at just under three acres each was turned down in early January. “Clearly the public was against the issue, and it would have involved a fairly major [Official Community Plan] change,” Mayor Ted Adlem said earlier this year. In support of Steelhead, the district has sent a letter asking the mines

inspector to deny the pit. “We’re asking the ministry of mines to not support this application, and if they do, we’re asking for some restrictions,” such as hours of operations and Thomas Avenue upgrades. Steelhead mining opponents say the project would bring 80 tandem gravel trucks in the rural neighbourhood daily, and pass by their newly constructed community hall that locals wanted to rent for weddings and other events. “The business plan for the community hall is to generate funds as a nonprofit society so that [the Steelhead Community Association] can give back to the community, and to date we have raised, through grants, fund raising and donations, a little more than $230,000,” said SCA chairman Mark Diamond in an article on the group’s website.

LOVELY LAVENDER – JEAN KONDA-WITTE/TIMES

Folks stroll through massive fields and a labyrinth of lavender at the Lavender Celebration at Tuscan Farm Gardens in Abbotsford. The July 6 event featured live music, lavender wreath making, artisans, alternative healers, jewelry artists, pottery and lavender inspired food. Tuscan Farm grows more than 7,000 lavender plants of many varieties and employees were on hand to answer questions.

EXPANSION PROJECT

ROCHELLE BAKER Abbotsford Times olice have located the car of an Abbotsford man who went missing on Thursday next to the Fraser River in Mission. Baljinder Sahota, 41, has been missing since Thursday, said Const. Ian MacDonald. Sahota’s 1994 Honda Civic was located in a parking lot at Harbour Avenue and Bridge Street in Mission adjacent to the Fraser on Friday evening, said MacDonald. Given the proximity of the

vehicle to the river, there are concerns that Sahota could have ended up into the water, he said. Sahota is five feet nine inches tall and weighs 160 pounds with short black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a white Puma jacket with black track pants and blue runners. Police are asking anyone with information to immediately contact the Abbotsford Police at 604-859-5225 or text 222973 (abbypd).

Boom boom, what’s that noise?

es, I hear them. I live on Bradner Road. How could I not hear them? They go off all the time. And you know what? No big deal. I am referring, of course, to the blueberry cannons, used by some farmers in the area to scare off birds that attack the crops. The cannons have become a bone of contention for some city residents – contentious enough that a bylaw has been proposed to limit their use. Currently, farmers are allowed to use the cannons at their discretion, day or night, in an effort to protect their crops. The new bylaw would, among other things, restrict the times that the cannons could be used and really, isn’t that what this is all about? Cut away the fat, and what do you have? A bunch of people who can’t sleep and don’t want loud noises after sunset. Banging in the night? Stop that racket! At my (hopefully soon to be sold) house in Grande Prairie, we could hear the train cars banging all night long, from the train yard half a mile away. Worse still is my sister’s house, across a ravine from a lumber processing plant. The constant unloading of lumber trucks all night long sounds like the guts of a 10-pin bowling alley. But you know what? We lived

TERRY FARRELL

CommenTerry with it. It was the sound of our economy at work and for that reason, the sound of the blueberry cannons, while not music to everybody’s ears, should at least be regarded as change in your pocket. The agriculture business is, by leaps and bounds, Abbotsford’s No. 1 economic resource. It not only drives the economy here; it is the economy. And when it comes to agriculture, our berries are a huge part. Agriculture in Abbotsford is a $2 billion industry that supports in excess of 11,000 fulltime jobs. Put the trickle-down process into operation and guess what, folks: you are most likely directly – and positively – affected by agriculture in Abbotsford. As far as the berry business itself, poultry notwithstanding, it is the biggest portion of the agricultural pie chart (source: Ministry of Agriculture Economic Impact of Agriculture in Abbotsford report). We, as benefactors of that, should be doing everything in

our power to not only protect the industry, but also ensure its health. If that means ignoring the boom of cannons, so be it. Is that what it means, though? Maybe, short term. But the bottom line is the bottom line, and if an alternative, such as netting, can prove to be more efficient for farmers in the long run, then that’s what we should lobby for. Cost isn’t as much of an issue as the farmers want us to believe. The cost of netting would be completely tax deductible as a business expense, so let’s toss that argument out. In fact, considering the health arguments made by the bylaw proponents, there is likely some government funding available to cover a substantial portion of those costs up front, if we were to look deep enough. The decision should be steered by effectiveness. What is best for the farmers is, essentially, best for all of Abbotsford. Give farmers proof that by netting their fields their yields will increase substantially, compared to un-netted fields using cannons as scare tactics, and you can bet that the farmers will have the stakes in the ground by sunrise. In the meantime, here’s a toonie. Buy a pair of earplugs and get yourself a good night’s sleep.

t is astounding, in this day and age, with so much information so easily available to so many people, that one in five Canadians still believe that women who are sexually assaulted effectively “asked for it.” Nearly a fifth of Canadians, according to a survey conducted by the Canadian Women’s Foundation, still believe that victims of sexual assault provoke their attackers by the clothing they wear or their behaviour in public. It appears, according to the disturbing results of the survey, that many Canadians believe the clothing women wear, or the alcohol they consume, are the real culprits in sexually-motivated attacks – not the men who molest or rape their victims. The Canadian Women’s Foundation study revealed that 19 per cent of the respondents believe women encourage sexual assault by getting drunk, 15 per cent said flirting gives men an excuse to commit sexual assault, and 17 per cent maintained that short skirts provoke sexual assaults. It’s the old “men simply can’t help themselves, so women ought to know better” defence. Perhaps most disturbing are the figures that indicate some of the most archaic and misdirected understanding of the causes of sexual assault appeared among survey respondents aged between 18 and 34 years. In addition to the physical trauma they endure, sexual assault victims commonly have long-term and serious psychological effects that may include depression, selfblame, shame, fear, and anger – all feelings that may be fueled and exacerbated by the stupid and misguided beliefs of many of their own friends and relatives. More men need to try harder to understand their mothers and sisters and daughters – and to understand themselves better. And they need to “man up” when it comes to taking greater responsibility for their own actions.

Bravo for housing project Editor, the Times: I was very encouraged when I read about Abbotsford Community Services’ (ACS) housing project for homeless men. I was particularly pleased to read that they are planning on using the “housing first” model, in which those who are housed do so in conjunction with support for their addictions and/or mental health concerns – not after they are sober or mentally stable. I was equally dismayed that the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association (ADBA) is so opposed to this project. This method of helping those who are homeless has proven to be successful for the people it serves, as well as the communities in which they are housed. The At Home project in Vancouver works with the principle that chronically homeless people with serious mental illnesses or addictions will stabilize if they are given a house first and then support services like drug counselling, health care, etc. Not only has the project been successful in keeping people stable and off the streets, it has also proven to save tax payers thousands of dollars. Many of the participants in the At Home project have had dramatic turn-around experiences. They have jobs, are paying rent and are dealing successfully with their addictions or mental health issues. Many say the project saved their lives. I applaud ACS for taking the initiative and having the vision to pursue this innovative and proven method of helping those who are often hard to house and care for. I hope that the ADBA will remove its petitions and embrace this project and that its members will actively seek ways to support it. Abbotsford needs more projects like this. Let’s be known as a city that cares for all its inhabitants. Angelika Dawson Abbotsford

No conditions to compassion Editor, the Times:

I believe that a good indication that a society is healthy can be measured in the way it treats the least fortunate of its people. There are people in this community that say they would show compassion, “if only!” Putting conditions on compassion says that you are not compassionate, just [have] good thoughts or how you like to think of

With regard to the proposed transition house: if all of those opposed were to drive around Abbotsford to look for a “more suitable” place, guaranteed there would be objections against every one. I am a downtown merchant, but can think of no better location than the one proposed. Yes it’s close to downtown but it’s where those less fortunate hang out anyway, and it will be close to where they can get the assistance they need. It’s close to my home and I will walk by it daily but I’m OK with that. These people are victims of circumstance who have chosen to hide their pain behind drugs or alcohol. Most people in pain hide behind something but most don’t have the added pain of being homeless. Please give this project your support. Gary Huntbatch Abbotsford

Rock us with straight answers Editor, the Times:

Instead of panning Christians for their “vile attitudes” (Religions groups dictate bigotry, July 9), perhaps Robert T. Rock, atheist, should try defending the “benefits of humanism” as articulated in his bible, the Humanist Manifestos. Readers can easily download them from the Internet. Manifesto II proudly embraces Marxist humanism which, of course, is atheism wedded to politics. I’m sure 100 million deaths attributed to communism is something that humanists are really proud of, eh Robert? In the area of sexuality the right to abortion is lauded, as is expressing one’s sexual proclivities as one desires. Well, since 1988 when the Supreme Court struck down Canada’s abortion law as unconstitutional, some 2.5 million unborn Canadian babies have been killed. No doubt this is another statistic that makes humanists very happy – made possible in large measure by Dr. Henry Morgentaler, a past president of the Humanist Association of Canada. Any Christian objection to this horror would undoubtedly be viewed as a vile attitude by Robert T. Rock. Perhaps Mr. Rock would

kindly enlighten readers of The Times what sexual proclivities humanists also endorse since monogamous marriage between a man and woman is only one of many orientations [that] they consider ethical. Humanists also crave a world community devoid of checks-and-balances between nations – just one big happy worldwide socialistic government, no doubt ruled by a supreme atheist. Go ahead, Mr. Rock – put your spin on the fabulous tenets of humanism. You like straight answers – so do we. So give us some. Miff Crommelin Mission

Editor, the Times:

I have noted your editorial with respect to drinking and driving and can only state that I am totally appalled with the comments of the Civil Liberties Association who are, at least in this case, backed by many of the pub owners in the province. We should applaud the current laws and demand they be made even more severe. What is needed is an absolute zero reading for any person to be allowed to continue to drive. We have far too many in our society who think they can drive after having one or two drinks and have no care or concern for those who might be on the road. In many areas, our society has lost any sense of conscience, thanks in part to the actions and views of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association and criminal lawyers who seem to believe that individuals should be allowed to trump any laws that are contrary to their wishes, and that said wishes and/or actions must take precedence over any laws or restrictions. If the Civil Liberties Association were genuinely interested in civil liberties, it would endorse the current laws and demand these laws be made more severe – a stand I am sure they would make if they were the victims. Such endorsement would go a long way to protect our civil liberties and not sacrifice them to the limited few that continue to take an “I don’t care!” attitude to the rest of society.

Dodge the midday lag D

into your day to keep your energy levels up. • Laugh: A good laugh raises blood pressure and will boost your heart rate, which can pump you up when you’re feeling sluggish. • Leave the desk: Taking a break away from your desk can help you re-energize and re-focus. Whether it’s a quick walk or a longer lunch, try and get some fresh air to revitalize yourself. • Get a good night’s sleep: If your body isn’t rested at the start of the day, it is even more difficult to avoid the midday slump, as sleep deprivation is a common cause of fatigue. Develop good sleeping habits by going to bed and rising at approximately the same time every day. Aim for eight hours of restful sleep and avoid caffeine in the evening. Making your bedroom quiet and dark and doing relaxing activities before bed can help ensure a restful night. – NEWS CANADA

misalignment of your upper and lower teeth may have more consequences than first meets the eye. This ‘bad bite’ can also be the cause of headaches, migraines, and pain in the shoulders, neck, and face. When teeth are misaligned they cannot provide the proper muscle support for chewing and swallowing. These facial muscles are then forced into a strained position, often resulting in pain throughout the face, head and upper body.

According to Sherry Torkos, pharmacist and author of The Canadian Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, there are a few simple ways we can beat that midday slump and quickly recharge: • Drink water: Signals of thirst are often confused with hunger, but did you know that thirst can also masquerade as fatigue? Even slight dehydration can leave you feeling lethargic. Adequate hydration plays a large role in making you feel energetic. But despite its proven benefits, it can be difficult to remember to consume enough water. Carry water with you throughout the day and make a conscious effort to finish at least two bottles. • Reduce stress: Stress has a significant effect on your energy level.

Benefits make blueberries one of nature’s ‘superfruits’ Y

ou can’t go wrong eating blueberries as they continue to be one of the best choices to include in a healthy diet. Blueberries have been considered one of the leading “superfruits” by researchers in Canada and U.S., who keep finding more and more health benefits from this tasty little berry. A 125ml (1/2 cup) serving of blueberries is all it takes to make up one of the 7-10 daily servings of fruits and vegetables recommended by the Canadian Food Guide.

ven if you eat well and exercise regularly, sitting at a desk for eight hours a day can negatively impact your health. According to Sherry Torkos, pharmacist and author of The Canadian Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, there are a few simple ways you can stay healthy at your desk job: • Rest your eyes: Staring at a computer screen all day can cause regular users to experience vision problems. Blinking frequently and giving your eyes the chance to regularly focus on something more distant can reduce eyestrain. Setting a timer to remind you to look away from the screen

every 20 minutes will help relax your eyes and reduce fatigue. • Talk in person: Telephone calls, emails and other technological tools improve time management, but they can also contribute to an unhealthy office environment. Take opportunities to walk to a co-worker’s office and talk face-to- face instead of sending an email or picking up the phone. Having walking meetings can also be a useful way to boost energy and alertness. This allows employees to get up, stretch their legs and reduce the negative impact

of sitting at a desk without effecting productivity. • Stand up for phone calls: If you do have to use the phone, stand-up anytime you make or receive a call. This will give you the opportunity to stretch your legs several times a day and will become a habit helping you to lower the harmful effects of being inactive. Standing for phone calls will also generate energy in your body and your voice. • Keep water at your desk: Hydration in an office setting is often overlooked. Your body requires a lot of water, even if you’re sitting.

A Special weekend for the athletes Abbotsford and Mission chapters do well at BC Games

ore than 1,100 athletes from British Columbia and Yukon converged in Langley, July 11-13, for the 2013 Special Olympics BC Summer Games. Athletes challenged themselves and their peers in 11 different sports, ranging from track and field to bocce. The Abbotsford and Mission chapters were both part of the Region 3 team – the largest of the eight regions, encompassing Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Chilliwack, Langley and Surrey, as well as Abbotsford and Mission. The host team had 385 athletes and coaches. Donna Bilous, team manager for the Abbotsford contingent, said the weekend was picture perfect. “It was absolutely awesome,” she said. “From a weather standpoint, it was not too hot and not too cold. It wasn’t extreme and we didn’t have to worry about pouring rain, so it was a great weekend.” “Other than a couple of cold showers, the entire event was a great experience,” said Mission co-ordinator Stuart Coates. “The fields were good, the accommodations were good, food was good.

It was an all around great weekend.” Bilous estimated that it took more than 2,000 volunteers to pull off the provincial games, and said the region did itself proud in that regard. “All the volunteers, and the city of Langley, did an excellent job,” she said. “The opening ceremonies at LEC (Langley Events Centre) – were great to our athletes and an amazing experience. Ga m e s e x p e r i e n c e s a re always a great experience not just for our athletes but for everyone, (especially those) experiencing Special Olympics for the first time. This really is life-changing for them.” Abbotsford athletes turned in some great performances, including 41-year-old Chris Hamilton, who covered the medal spectrum, with a gold in the 10,000-metre run, a silver in the 3,000m and a bronze in the 1,500. “Chris has been to the provincial games a number of times in numerous sports and I know he has been to the national games in speed skating. I don’t know whether he has ever gone to the national games in track, but we are hoping he is going to

be selected.” Hamilton was not the only Abbotsford athlete to shine on the weekend. “Almost all of our athletes medalled – I think we only had one athlete who did not medal,” Bilous said. “We had medals in powerlifting. Our rhythmic gymnastics team was great. We had seven athletes on our rhythmic gymnastics team and they won multiple medals. Katie Hawksby, I believe won four medals with the gymnastics, so she did amazing, with that being such a technical sport.” Paige Norton had three bronze medals in her four running events. Twelve of the 15 athletes from Mission came home with medals. The soccer team, which accounted for nine athletes, won gold. “Undefeated, no goals against,” said Coates. “Pretty much” a perfect performance. Shawn Ferland won a silver medal in men’s shotput, while Lynne Parker and Joyce Smith won bronze medals in bowling, as members of the Maple Ridge team. For all the results, as well as access to photo galleries from every sport, go to the provincial games website at www. specialolympics.bc.ca/2013sobc-summer-games.

Eagles set to soar in China SUBMITTED TO THE TIMES bbotsford secondary school team invited to represent Canada at International volleyball tournament in China. The Mennonite Educational Institute Eagles boys’ volleyball teams enjoyed a successful season during the school year – one of the winningest seasons on record. Little did they know their hard work during the school year would bring an invitation to take part in the Beijing International Volleyball Tournament, representing Canada. The Eagles will be competing against countries that include Argentina, Austria, Australia, Brazil, China, Finland, France, Italy, Kenya,

After a successful season on the court, Abbotsford school team invited to represent Canada at International volleyball tournament Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand and the USA. This group knows full well that there are no shortcuts to success. Hard work, team spirit, talented athletes and dedicated coaches have taken the MEI Eagles soaring to new heights year after year. To prepare for the big trip, the group has been training up to two times a day and incorporating one of the school’s alumni sport specific “Edge strength and conditioning”.

Hadwin continues to climb web.com tour standings

Dean Weiss, vice principal at the school, says that the boys should be able to represent Canada quite well. The team has returning seniors who won bronze at the AA provincial level, as well as new members from the junior team, which went undefeated through its season and won gold at the provincial level. He says that an invitation such as this is a great opportunity to showcase the quality of the volleyball

program. Through this tournament, the players are getting to be a part of something rather unique. Jordan Geransky, coach of the team, echoes this sentiment. Tournament rules allow graduating players to participate in the tournament and while he realizes that his team could be playing teams with players up to two years older than his, he also realizes that this is an opportunity for his young team that just doesn’t usually hap-

pen. Being a part of this tournament cements the legacy of the volleyball program at MEI. It’s a fantastic recognition of the hard work done in the past and he hopes that this will be a stepping-stone to continuing to be one of the top high school volleyball programs in the country. On July 16 the 12-person team, coach and vice principal will be off to China to put their skills to the test on an international scale. The 11-day excursion will be a combination of intense competition, sightseeing, and personal growth. The group plans to make the most out of this incredible opportunity that has come its way.

The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make nonlawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

CARS CRUISE-IN CLASSIC CAR SHOW

An estimated $25 million worth of inventory sat on the lawn at Mill Lake on Saturday as the second annual Mill Lake Cruise In Classic Car Show drew enthusiasts from far and wide. The Times had a couple of photographers, Jean Konda-Witte and Terry Farrell, on hand. Here are a few of their favourites. Clockwise, from upper left - flames adorn the hood of a 1934 Ford Roadster, owned by Mike Cox of Abbotsford (TF); a black 1928 Ford Model A Roadster seen as a reflection off the bumper of a 1955 Chevy (TF); one of the most unique vehicles at the show – a 1952 Chevy Coe pickup (TF); a 1956 Mercury M100 truck (JKW); a 1929 Model A Ford, which was originally found in a farmer’s field in Saskatoon with a tree growing through the roof.
