Murder: Not guilty Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

After deliberating for four hours, a jury found Robert Adam Van Dusen not guilty last week of second-degree murder in the 2012 killing of Ryan Saint Ange. Van Dusen had been accused of taking the final shot that ended Saint Ange’s life in his 56th Street basement suite in Abbotsford on Jan. 14, 2012. But after a trial lasting more than five weeks, a jury of seven women and five men found they couldn’t convict Van Dusen of Saint Ange’s murder. Saint Ange was killed following a dispute

at his home. His former friend, Shayne Vauthrin, had previously pleaded guilty to manslaughter with a firearm and testified against Van Dusen. In opening remarks, Crown SAINT ANGE counsel made clear that Vauthrin’s testimony would form the core of its case. During those opening remarks, Crown counsel said that several months before Saint Ange’s death, Vauthrin had moved out of the basement suite where the killing took place because of a “falling out” with his roommate. The night of the killing, Vauthrin had viewed

a Facebook page advertising for sale belongings he believed were rightfully his. The Facebook page belonged to Saint Ange, whom Vauthrin had considered a friend and who now lived in his former room. Crown had argued that Vauthrin had gone to the home to retrieve his belongings and to “teach the occupants a lesson.” The Crown said Van Dusen had accompanied Vauthrin to the home and killed Saint Ange after Vauthrin had first attacked the victim. But in coming to a verdict of not guilty for Van Dusen, the jury found that Crown counsel had not proven their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

A Delta dog walker who left six dogs to die in the back of her hot truck last spring has pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and falsely reporting a crime. Back in May, Emma Paulsen reported that six dogs in her care had been stolen from the Brookswood offleash dog park in Langley, spurring a large community search for the missing pets. About a week later, however, Paulsen admitted the dogs had actually died in her hot vehicle, which was reportedly parked in Richmond. She eventually led police to a ditch in Abbotsford where the dead dogs were dumped. A necropsy done by the SPCA confirmed the animals died of heat exhaustion. Among the six canines was her ex-husband’s and children’s border collie. The case became known as the “Brookswood Six.” Paulsen was charged in August and on Wednesday morning in Surrey provincial court, she entered guilty pleas to two of the six charges she faced. Wearing a dark pant suit and Vancouver Police Department sunglasses, she quickly left the courthouse,

heckled by animal rights activists, before getting into a waiting car. Though it’s been months since her dog died while in Paulsen’s care, Jennifer Myers has a tough time talking about her Boston terrier Buddy. She was in court for Paulsen’s guilty pleas and while relieved there won’t be a lengthy trial, she’s concerned what penalties Paulsen will face. “The hard part about a guilty plea is that you know it’s going to be a lesser sentence,” she said. “I would really like to see jail time. I’m not very optimistic. It’s very rare that animal cruelty cases actually result in jail time.” It was the first time Myers had seen Paulsen since Buddy and the other dogs died. “She has made no contact with the family at all,” said Myers. “There was no apologies, no contact, nothing.” Paulsen was initially charged with six offences under the Criminal Code of Canada and the BC Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, including killing an animal; causing unnecessary suffering, pain or injury; neglecting to provide adequate food, water or shelter; failing to protect an animal from circumstances

It’s expected the remaining four charges will be stayed after sentencing. The maximum penalty

Paulsen would face is five years in jail, a fine of $75,000 and a lifetime ban on owning animals. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Jan. 21. – with files from Monique Tamminga

Extreme weather beds open in Abby Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

As the temperature drops, the first extreme weather alert of the year – opening emergency shelter beds for homeless people – has been issued for Abbotsford, beginning on Nov. 11. Nate McCready, Abbotsford’s extreme weather shelter co-ordinator and community ministries director at the Salvation Army, said the alert was issued for two days, but it could go on for longer based on the forecast. The alerts are called when weather drops below zero, there is significant snow accumulation or conditions are deemed significant enough to pose a threat to the life or health of homeless people, said McCready. There are 20 additional beds at the Salvation Army and six beds for youths

at the Cyrus Centre during the cold weather, making a total of 46 beds at Salvation Army and 10 at Cyrus Centre. On the night of Nov. 11, 18 of the 20 extreme weather beds were used at the Salvation Army. Extreme weather beds are funded through the provincial government through BC Housing and seek to help homeless individuals on the streets. The beds are available from November to March whenever the community issues an extreme weather alert. Local churches also provide additional space and McCready said there are churches ready for January through March. He said while he appreciates the churches that open their doors, it would be nice for those using the shelter to know exactly where they will be located. While there will likely be adequate beds

for the year, a permanent secondary location would be nice, he said. There are changes this year to improve the program. The Salvation Army will put staff at the churches so they can do intake on site and people will not have to go to the Salvation Army first and then be dispatched to a church, explained McCready. The 5 and 2 Ministries will also provide rides for those in need. There will be posters around the city with a phone number that people can call to be picked up and brought to the shelter. McCready said there are always people who need to come inside in cold weather. He said that for people who have serious health conditions, the weather could make them severe, and anyone could experience hypothermia. The 2014 homeless count found 151 homeless residents in Abbotsford.

New Patients Welcome!

A convicted highrisk sex offender from Abbotsford who lured children through social media is facing a new charge of sexual assault following a complaint at Surrey Pretrial Centre. Jeffery Goddard, 24, has been in custody since last December, when he was arrested for breaching probation conditions connected

to previous sex-related charges. Goddard initially served a 20-month jail term after being convicted in 2011 of invitation to sexual touching, communicating via a computer to lure a child, impersonating a police officer and two charges of breaching his bail conditions. Most of his crimes were committed in Abbotsford. He has a history of

assuming other identities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; posing as a police officer, a teenage girl and a TV producer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to lure young teens, mostly boys, via the phone, Facebook and other social media. After he was released from prison in 2012, Goddard was charged with breaching his probation after again posing online â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this time as a landscaper â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to lure young boys. He was sentenced in

early 2013 to another 180 days in jail. In spring 2013, he was released and living in Surrey, with B.C. Corrections issuing a warning he had offended in a predatory and opportunistic manner, and was at high risk to re-offend. By November 2013, Goddard was on the lam and police issued a warrant for his arrest, saying his behaviour indicated he may be

back in a crime cycle. He was arrested a few weeks later in Maple Ridge for breaching his conditions and has been in custody since. Surrey RCMP say his latest sexual assault charge came after a two-week investigation. Goddard was due to make an appearance in Surrey Provincial Court yesterday (Thursday). â&#x20AC;&#x201C;with files from Monisha Martins and Vikki Hopes

PROGRAM

JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News

Above: The parade of war veterans, army reservists, police, cadets and others began Tuesday’s Remembrance Day ceremony in Abbotsford. They marched to the cenotaph (below), located in Thunderbird Memorial Square on Veterans Way, where the ceremony took place.

Not forgotten Nov. 11 in Abbotsford

HUNGER DOESN’T TAKE WEEKENDS OFF. Organized by the Rotary Club of Abbotsford and the food bank, the program provides backpacks full of balanced meals to children who face sparse cupboards on the weekends. Currently, 213 students from 14 local schools receive the backpacks containing breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks.

HOW TO DONATE

A crowd estimated at 3,000 gathered for the Remembrance Day ceremony on Tuesday in Abbotsford. The ceremony, organized by the Abbotsford branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, was held at the cenotaph in Thunderbird Memorial Square under bright skies and blustery winds. During the ceremony, the names of those who had died in battle were read, and the 861 Silverfox air cadet squadron band performed along with the Pacific Mennonite Children’s Choir. A large contingent of government and local agencies and groups laid wreaths during the ceremony. Members of the Abbotsford Police emergency response team were stationed on nearby rooftops, as a precautionary measure following the recent killings of two soldiers in Ontario and Quebec. Many communities saw an increased police presence at Nov. 11 ceremonies, along with significantly larger public attendance.

The cost of providing the weekend meals to one child for a school year is $525. Businesses, groups, or individuals wanting to contribute to the program can do so by calling the Abbotsford Food Bank at 604-859-5749.

Kayla Shaleen Aolick I don’t know these people so I don’t have the emotional side to it. If she can’t produce evidence that they are in danger, I do not believe setting the precedent that you can stay just because you say something bad is waiting for you. Then everyone will be able to just make stuff up (not that she is making it up). Darren Lundi If she didn’t leave, it’s quite obvious she is very scared for her and the boys if she were to return to her country. Just because she couldn’t provide evidence doesn’t mean the abuse never happened. April Lovett I don’t blame her for running. B..s..t order by the judge! Jasen Molnár

letters

LOOK FOR TODAY’S

Food and clothing are the necessities of life – not enablers I came across a letter on Oct. 29 written by Vereena Fraser about how we need to stop inviting homeless people to our community. Ms. Fraser is evidently not in favour of Abbotsford’s housing plans for the homeless and also shows no favor towards feeding or clothing them as well. Ms. Fraser begins her letter by comparing homeless people of Abbotsford to the bears near her previous campsite. She claims that we are attracting homeless people to our city by providing food, clothing, etc. Yet those are some of the necessities required to live. It is apparent that Ms. Fraser assumes we are inviting the homeless from neigh-

bouring communities. However, the majority of us remember the manure that was spread around Abbotsford in hopes to kick them out of town. Not a very welcoming invitation. Ms. Fraser continues to suggest that by giving aid to the homeless, we are enabling their behaviour. The term enabling, as we are aware, means to encourage and to allow. By simply providing free food and clothing for the homeless, we are not enabling them to be homeless. We are allowing them to live. If they have no income, they are not making money. If they are not making money how are they supposed to eat?

If they do not have access to free food, many may have to steal as a means of survival. In Abbotsford’s most recent homeless survey, it was stated that 27 per cent of homeless people in Abbotsford have a form of mental illness and 19 per cent have a disability. Ms. Fraser expresses how these homeless people choose to live this way, yet does not consider some major barriers these homeless people experience. Homeless people are also unable to apply for income assistance, or jobs, because they need an address. If they are homeless, they cannot have an address. Without an address, they are unable to collect cheques or income assistance.

It is not fair to make a general assumption that all homeless people choose to live this lifestyle. Ms. Fraser concludes her letter by stating we must begin protecting the rights, property and safety of hardworking, honest people. Again, it was our city that spread manure on these people’s tents and on their belongings. Please consider how being homeless does not mean you are any less honest then someone with a job. As we know, employed people are capable of destroying property, and being dishonest just as well. Fatima Mohammad

While collusion is unwaveringly denied and our government inquiries claim they can’t prove it, you only have to look at the “coincidence” of how different companies miles apart all jump to the same price minutes apart. Who determines that all the gas prices are going to be exactly the same new higher price at the same time? It’s a good thing I don’t believe in conspiracy theories. F. Forshner, Abbotsford

It’s like the stations have all hit a blackjack at the casino. All that fuel in their tanks that has suddenly jumped in value and the profit margin has exploded. At least they used to try and offer an excuse (however implausible) for the sudden price jumps and the long drawn out reduction of that same price to where it was previously. Now it’s clear that this is nothing but blatant profit taking.

Checking the price at the pump OK, I give up. With the price of crude in a nosedive for months, what possible justification or explanation do the oil companies offer for the insane spikes in the retail price of gasoline? I’m not aware of any refineries blowing up or any pipelines springing a leak that cut off the crude for refining. It’s become a weekly tradition (usually on a Wednesday or Thursday) to hike the price anywhere from 8 to 11 cents a litre.

Abbotsford News

With no referendum on the ballot this year, voter turnout is unlikely to be any higher than in 2011’s municipal election, according to University of the Fraser Valley political scientist Hamish Telford. The last municipal election saw ballots cast by 38.4 per cent of eligible voters. And while the majority of voters remained on the sidelines, the last election was both a marked improvement over the provincial average of 29.5 per cent and an improvement over past turnout numbers in Abbotsford. “I suspect we’re going to be down from where we were last time,” Telford said. “I think last time people were quite motivated by the P3 water project. “There don’t seem to be issues driving this campaign to that magnitude.” But with two strong mayoral candidates on the ballot, Telford says turnout shouldn’t drop too far. “I would expect it to be down, but maybe not terribly far down,” he said. “One of the things that drives turnout is perceived competitive races. I don’t know how close the race is, but it seems somewhat competitive and that might prevent turnout from dropping a long way.” Recent municipal elections have seen just over one-third of voters cast ballots. In 2008 and 2005, 34 per cent of voters cast ballots to choose a council and mayor. There was no referendum in either election. In 2006, only one-quarter of voters participated in the still-much-debated referendum

on Plan A, the proposal to build what would become the Abbotsford Centre and The Reach Gallery Museum, and to expand the Abbotsford Recreation Centre. Voter turnout was a little higher in 1999 and 2002, when 37 and 36 per cent of voters, respectively, cast ballots. (The 1999 vote featured a rerendum on whether to build a Mill Lake arts centre). But lest one think voters were intrinsically more involved in local affairs in the late 90s, only 12.5 per cent of eligible voters – one in eight – took part in a 1998 referendum on whether to build a multi-sports complex. In 1997, Only 22.6 per cent of voters cast ballots in a referendum on charitable casinos, and 1996 saw only one quarter of eligible residents vote for council and mayor. That election also included a referendum on whether to build a new police building. The most well-attended municipal vote came in 1994, when 45 per cent of eligible residents went to the polls to elect a council and mayor and decide whether to call their newly amalgamated municipality Abbotsford or Matsqui. In three advance voting opportunities last week, 4,235 ballots were cast, a figure in line with previous elections, according to the city. There are two candidates running for mayor, 30 candidates for council and 16 candidates for school trustee positions. Information on voting eligibility, locations and resources for those with disabilities is available on the City of Abbotsford’s website at www.abbotsford.ca.

Who killed JFK? Presentation explores the debate surrounding the assassination of beloved U.S. president

Colin McSween remembers exactly where he was on Nov. 22, 1963 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the day U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated by a sniper as he rode in the back of convertible limousine in a presidential motorcade in Dallas, Tex. McSween, then nine years old, was home sick from elementary school when his mother burst into the room with the dramatic news that JFK had been shot. Ever since that unforgettable day McSween, an Abbotsford resident, has been fascinated by the assassination of the president â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the debate surrounding who actually pulled the trigger. His determined research and writing on the subject has earned McSween segments on talk radio, television and in print. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been a featured speaker and lecturer on the subject across North America and contributed to books about the JFK assassination. This Saturday (Nov. 22) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 51st anniversary of JFKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; McSween will give a power point presentation entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the truth is found to be liesâ&#x20AC;? at the Immanuel Baptist Church (2950 Blue Jay St.) starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free.

Quick Q breads are named for their convenience

Some of the simplest baking products to make are quick breads. Quick breads, as the name implies, can be made in a shorter amount of time than traditional yeast breads. Examples would be banana bread, muffins, scones, etc., and although easier, there is still information worth knowing.

tains a mixture of baking soda and the balanced amount of acid, along with starch to help prevent lumping. This is why you will see some recipes that call for baking powder and others with baking powder and/or baking soda. A good comparison of this would be a pancake recipe compared to a buttermilk pancake recipe.

The biggest, and most obvious, difference between yeast breads and quick breads is that quick breads are not leavened with yeast. The term “leavening” can be described as the creating and capturing of gases in a baked product to produce structure and height. As yeast ferments, with the help of sugar, it creates gas that causes the holes visible in bread. Quick breads rely on leaveners such as baking soda, baking powder, steam, eggs and air to give a similar effect.

Most quick bread recipes consist of mixing dry and wet ingredients in two separate bowls first before combining them.

Baking soda and baking powder are considered chemical leaveners. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and it requires liquid and an acid to make a gaseous reaction. It is usually added to recipes that have a naturally occurring acid in the ingredients. This acid can be found in items such as vinegars, buttermilk, yogurt, sour cream, honey, molasses, fruits and even chocolate. The amount of baking soda used is determined and balanced by the amount of these acids occurring in the recipe’s ingredients. Baking powder on the other hand is a complete leavener, as it only requires liquid for it to react in the same manner. The reason for this is that it con-

Not only are quick breads fast, they are also very tender. This is due to the limited production of gluten in the mixing process. When flour and liquid are mixed together, gluten is formed. Gluten is most recognizable as the elastic feeling in yeast bread dough that has been kneaded. The longer that flour and liquid are mixed, the more gluten is created. Quick breads are similar to the texture of cakes and thus one should not over-mix to ensure a delicate composition. Regardless of which chemical leaveners you use, the batter should go into the oven immediately once mixed together, as the gases start producing immediately when the liquid is added. If using eggs and air to leaven, bake immediately before it deflates, for optimal results. Once in the oven, heat will convert moisture in the batter to steam. The steam, air and gasses from leavening will be trapped in the batter, thus giving the product height and a fluffy texture.

Family applauds Matthew’s House

Royal City Youth Ballet Company Society proudly presents, for the 26th season, the full length ballet, the Nutcracker.

The longest running Nutcracker ballet performance in Canada!

Improvements noted in four-year-old son

Don’t miss your opportunity to see this unique show that delights audiences of all ages.

r ild

Yannick hits the keyboard, making a loud, discordant sound. The noise is worth it for the smile it elicits from him – bright and toothy, with laughter behind it. Until now, smiles have been a rarity for the four-year-old. His parents, Vida and Yves Rabu, attribute this happy change to his stay at Matthew’s House in Abbotsford. The facility is a home away from home that provides respite care for children with complex health-care issues. A child’s stay at Matthew’s House gives parents a chance to rest and rejuvenate. Knowing that their child is cared for in a safe and loving environment means parents like Vida and Yves can take a break with peace of mind. Yannick faces many challenges – cerebral palsy, global development delay and seizures. He has respiratory issues that require him to be suctioned so that he can breathe easily, is diapered and needs a wheelchair. Just last April, he was hospitalized with pneumonia and respiratory syncytial virus. Weather changes are often a challenge for him, making breathing more difficult. Coughing seems to bring on seizures. All of these challenges mean that Yannick needs constant, expert care. It also means that his parents don’t often get a break. Still, the

Fusion ~ A Contemporary Art Show Opening Friday, November 21 5pm - 8pm You are cordially invited to the opening of our 4th annual Contemporary Art Show called Fusion which will be held at the Abbotsford Art Gallery on Friday evening November 21st from 5 pm to 8 pm. Fraser Valley artists Min Ma, Shannon Ravenhall, Kirsten Sheffield, Donna Zhang and Hong Zhu will be joined by Vancouver Island painter Pieter Molenaar and BC interior sculptor Vance Theoret for a gala night devoted to art.

while Vance Theoret's merry menagerie embrace whimsy and charm. The innovative Kirsten Sheffield has seamlessly fused batik and painting in her unique creations on cotton cloth. Meanwhile, the sumptuous oil portraits of Donna Zhang glow with the presence of the subject. Donna was very successful at a major show in Winnipeg recently. Abbotsford Art Gallery owner, Hong Zhu's own work is a wonderful blend of east and west, of form and fancy.

Min Ma paints a wide variety of subjects with flair, passion and a dazzling contemporary technique. Pieter Molenaar paints more traditionally with attention to the interplay between sky and earth and has devoted several paintings to scenes of the Fraser Valley. Our two sculptors express themselves very differently: Shannon Ravenhall's work has organic, feminine lines and shapes

The artists will be in attendance on Friday, November 21 from 5 pm to 8 pm. The art show will run until Friday, December 12. There will also be a free draw and refreshments will be served. For art lovers, this will be a feast for your eyes!

Everyone is welcome!

‘Like a second home’ to him. “I love him for who he is,” she says. “I love to hug and kiss him, read and play with him.” The Rabus first learned of Matthew’s House when it was being built on the Campus of Care adjacent to Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Yannick was one of the first children to stay at Matthew’s House when it opened in November 2013. In May of this year, he had an extended stay while his family travelled to Orlando and that’s when positive changes in his health were first noticed. “We began to notice that he was moving more and responding to questions,” said Wendy Toohey, who manages the home. “We only had to suction him at night and we noticed that he was beginning to clear his throat on his own. His speech therapist was amazed when he saw that Yannick was not only responding but imitating animal noises that we made with him, and he was smiling so much.” Vida and Yves were overjoyed when they saw how Yannick had improved while they were away. “We had never seen him being that way, smiling so much, making sounds and even laughing,” Vida said. “Is it because Matthew’s House is a new building with clean air circulation? Is it because it’s quiet? Or is it because he got all that attention from the lovely, caring staff?”

WILDLIFE CENTER FUNDRAISER Barb Craine presents a cheque to Elizabeth Melnick of Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center with Chantale Frost-Gill and Kristin Prinse. The staff of Power Pros Electrical raised money for the center at the 8th annual Jersey Dog Invitational Golf Tournament.

The Rabus are sure that Yannick will spend more time at Matthew’s House. “Matthew’s House is just like our second home to us,” Vida said. “It eases the burden for a while.” The facility costs $860,000 each year to operate, with nearly all of the funds raised by donation.

‘Having a boss that understands mental illness has been huge’ From A20

training. Former CSE manager Peter Kent worked with Beals for several years. “Justin is a good example of someone who might not have made it in a ‘normal’ work environment where there might not be time to see the potential in a person or the patience to draw that out. He started slowly but he’s come a long, long way,” he said. Before Beals came to the program, he had been in and out of hospital for four years dealing with mental illness. He was unable to work and had to go on disability assistance. He has always been passionate about recycling, so when a friend told him about CSE, he decided to give it a try. He started slowly, working one day a week, then two. “I started feeling better, mentally and physically,” he says. “Doing physical activity and being out around town all day seeing different sites made me feel more mentally alive.” Matt Dirks is the new manager for CSE. He believes that social enterprise is a positive way to support people who live with challenges because of its unique focus. “Social enterprise isn’t people over profits or profits over people,” he says. “It serves people through

profits by offering meaningful employment training.” He said being part of a team creates a sense of belonging and gives opportunities for contribution. Having a reason to get up every morning, a positive place to go, and the chance to earn money all help improve one’s confidence and selfesteem, he added. Beals became a driver/mentor to other clients and was soon managing accounts in the office. Today he works halftime in the office and halftime on the truck and is now the operations supervisor. Beals also helps other clients with their goal planning. He has not been in the hospital since he came to work at CSE and is no longer on disability assistance. He also took a peer support training course and did that work for a year. In October 2012, he married his sweetheart, who also works for Communitas. Beals continues to have a hopeful outlook on life. “I feel good. This job still gives me purpose, confidence, being part of a team, and a social aspect,” he said. “Having a boss that understands mental illness has been huge.” For more information about Communitas Social Enterprises, visit communitasenterprises.com.

YOU and the LAW ACCIDENT? PROVING YOUR LOST EARNING ABILITY Have you been hurt in a car crash or other accident through someone else’s fault? Has this cut into your ability to earn the same amount of income as you earned before? You may be entitled to compensation. It’s up to you as the injured person to prove that your income earning capacity is less. In a recent case, our B.C. Court of Appeal discussed the right approach when assessing this kind of compensation and the evidence the court will consider to prove your loss.

Then, said the appeal court, appropriate adjustments should be made, based on the specific circumstances of the injured person. For example, Janet had been interested in environmental, immigration and Aboriginal law or perhaps working in a non-profit organization. Do lawyers in these careers earn less money than, say, lawyers who do business law? Would Janet have earned less money than the “average” lawyer in her class? The defendant argued that lawyers working in a government-funded environmental law clinic might make $60,000 a year on average – less than other lawyers in B.C.

If you have been left out of your spouse or parent’s will, or did not receive a fair distribution of their estate, all is not lost. Under the new Wills Estates and Succession Act (WESA) a “spouse” or a “child” of the deceased can apply to the Supreme Court seeking a variance of the distribution of the estate under the will. The Act defines “spouse” to include a legally married spouse, and a same sex or common law spouse, provided the couple had been living together for at least two years prior to the deceased’s death. “Children” include adopted children, but not step-children. The provincial legislation specifically states that where, in the court’s opinion, a will does not make adequate provision

for the proper maintenance and support of the deceased’s spouse or children, then the

court has discretion to vary the will to make the provision that it believes to be “adequate, just, and equitable in the circumstances”. The court determines this based on what would be considered fair in today’s society. In the case of McBride v. Voth, the court reviewed the following considerations in forming the existence and the

strength of the deceased’s moral duty to his or her adult independent children. 1. Contribution and expectation. Contributions made by an individual to the deceased’s estate or care for the deceased will strengthen the moral obligation to provide for that person. A moral duty may also arise if the deceased’s conduct created an expectation to receive a benefit. 2. Misconduct/ poor character. A court can refuse variation to a person whose conduct or character, in the opinion of the court, is severe enough to justify disinheritance. 3. Estrangement/neglect. The court will usually enquire into the reasons for the estrangement. If the estrangement is seen to be largely the fault of

Were you left out of the will? the deceased, it may support a variance to the will. As well, the opposite is true. If a child neglects a parent, the court can support a disinheritance. 4. Gifts and benefits made by the deceased outside of the will. The court will take into account other lifetime gifts or benefits a deceased may have made to claimants. For example, insurance proceeds or pension benefits which fall outside of the will may be sufficient to satisfy the moral obligation of the deceased. 5. U n e q u a l treatment of children. If there are no relevant reasons for an unequal distribution, then there is a reasonable expectation that adult children will share equally, even though there is no legal obligation. Any wills variation action is difficult for the court and the parties. On the one hand, the court wishes to respect the wishes of the deceased and enforce the specific terms noted in his or her will. On the other hand, a deceased who is a “spouse” or a “parent” has legal and moral obligations to his or her spouse and children, and these cannot be ignored in contemporary society. A Wills Variation Action must be commenced within 180 days from the Grant of Probate and, therefore, it is very important to receive timely advice on these matters. If you believe that you have been dealt with unfairly under a will, you should contact a lawyer who specializes in wills preparation or estate litigation. – Ian MacKinnon is a partner with RDM Lawyers LLP in Abbotsford.

Comedy group makes top 15 in Canada-wide competition RE-ELECT Local group needs online votes from supporters A local comedy group is one step closer to $500,000 and a halfhour special on CBC as Abbotsford’s own made the Top 15 in the ComedyCoup contest. Buddy Guys is a comedy featuring local comedians Sunee Dhaliwal and Clifford Prang, developed with Adam Wormald as part of the ComedyCoup talent accelerator contest. The story follows two best friends, Sunee and Cliff. When they learn that Sunee’s sister Preety is arranged to be married to their lifelong nemesis Dalpreet Sidhu, they will stop at nothing to put an end to the wedding – even if it means Preety marries Cliff instead. The show features recognizable Abbotsford locations like Mill Lake and more. They describe the show as an unlikely adventure that celebrates love, friendship and family and promotes Punjabi tradition, values and culture to the next generation. The show is part of a competition that requires votes from the public to advance. Prang said the process has been inspiring and while it is a lot of work to meet the challenges and create quality content, the “pay off is to hear how much our fans are loving it.” The teams face weekly challenges and Buddy Guys have advanced from 100 cross-

Canada teams to the top 15. Prang said they need the support of the community through

online voting to be selected as one of the top five teams and flown to Toronto to pitch their show to network

executives. To learn more or vote for Buddy Guys, visit comedycoup.cbc.ca/ buddyguys.

Rotarian receives peace fellowship

A27

Will study in Thailand for three months A member of the Rotary Club of Abbotsford-Sumas has been selected for a 2015 Rotary Peace Fellowship. Maiden (Med) Manzanal has been assigned to the Rotary Peace Centre at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand to attend the winter session from Jan. 7 to March 27. Dorothy van der Ree, president of the Rotary Club of AbbotsfordSumas, said Manzanal was selected for the honour because of her strong background in conflict resolution, diversity education and her work for several world peace organizations. “I have worked with Med over the last few years and found her to be very dedicated to resolving world issues and bringing peace and understanding to all, at home and abroad,” she said. Manzanal is a senior community and international development consultant with GlobalStakes Consulting. She is a 2012 recipient of a Fraser Valley Cultural Diversity Award – based in Abbotsford – in the category of Outstanding Achievement in Community Outreach. Among the projects with which Manzanal has been involved are an Abbotsford review paper on community immigration and settlement planning and an evaluation of UNICEF’s response to the Typhoon Haiyan disaster in the Philippines. Manzanal is a member of the B.C. Council for International Cooperation, the Emerging Leaders Network and the Canadian Executive Service Organization. Each year, Rotary selects individuals from around the world to receive fully funded academic fellowships at one of its peace centres. The fellowships cover tuition and fees, room and board, round-trip transportation, and all internship/field study expenses. The three-month

program at Chulalongkorn University is in peace and conflict resolution and incorporates two to three weeks of field study. Candidates are selected based on their ability to have a significant, positive impact on the world.

An Independent Voice on Council

GIRLS NIGHT

Re-elect

DAVE LOEWEN For Council

One of the greatest strengths of local government is that individuals elected to office can exercise independence of mind and reflect the values of a body of citizens without restraint from a party leader. This is even more important in a city like Abbotsford, where we have such a rich cultural diversity. When eight unique perspectives are discussed and debated, better decisions are more likely to be made.

On November 15th, let’s elect eight INDEPENDENT Voices to Council. To learn more about me & my views: • www.daveloewen.com • Facebook – DaveFLoewen • Blog – councillorloewen.blogspot.ca • Twitter – DaveFLoewen Authorized by F.A. D. Loewen; loewen33@shaw.ca

Soon the weather will become more fall & winter-like and we’ll begin focusing more on indoors. Perhaps you will begin wondering if your home might be ready to sell early next year or Spring 2015. Now is the perfect time to complete all the little (or big) projects to make sure your home is market-ready when that time comes. Over time we tend to put off many ‘to dos’ for another day. When your home is for sale it goes under a ‘magnifying glass’. Make a list of what needs to be done and either do it yourself or hire someone to do it. Don’t wait until the ‘For Sale’ sign goes up before thinking about what you can do to make your home more saleable.

Life-writing seminar planned Hosted by MSA Museum Society A seminar to assist those who want to write their life stories takes place in Abbotsford on Saturday, Nov. 22. The session takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at MSA Museum, 2313 Ware St. Participants will identify strategies for completing the fourstep writing process, explore the principles of creative non-fiction, and gain an understanding of issues such as how much truth to reveal and dealing with trauma. The seminar is cosponsored by the MSA Museum Society and local writer and editor Philip Sherwood. The cost is $50. Sherwood runs lifewriters.ca, which specializes in helping indi-

viduals, families, organizations, and communities tell and preserve their stories in book form. He recently won the Abbotsford Arts Council 2014 Arty Award for Outstanding Artist in the Literary Arts. Dorothy van der Ree, executive director of the MSA Museum Society, said two previous sessions on lifewriting drew packed audiences. “Obviously, people want to write their stories, and so we hope this seminar will help equip them with the necessary skills to get going,” she said. Seating is limited, and advanced registration is mandatory by contacting the museum at 604-853-0313, emailing info@msamuseum.ca, or visiting

the website msamuseum.ca. The seminar is one of several services that the MSA Museum offers to aspiring memoirists, life-writers, and family historians. These include free information sessions held three times a year, free one-on-one consultations, a list of doit-yourself resources, and several fee-based services.

sis by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). It found B.C.’s 30 biggest cities brought in a combined $490 million more in 2013 than five years earlier through a combination of property tax rate hikes, higher assessments and growth, while they spent $345 million more on municipal salaries, wages and benefits over the same period. That means 70 cents out of every new property tax dollar generated since 2009 was eaten up by labour costs, CTF B.C. director Jordan Bateman said. “It seems that most of this money is going to fund raises for existing executives, existing managers and labour contracts,” he said, although he conceded in some cases the higher labour costs have added additional employees to provide expanded services. “The Township of Langley, for example, is adding more firefighters,” he said. Rising labour costs actually exceeded the entire growth in property taxes in Vancouver, West Vancouver, Delta, North Vancouver City and West Kelowna. “Every single new cent plus more went

to paying for labour in those cities,” Bateman said. Bucking the trend was Langford, where municipal labour costs actually declined slightly since 2009. Bateman said that was due to the local council’s “pretty aggressive” contracting out of municipal services to private firms, which the CTF broadly supports. “We think it’s better to put services in the hands of the private sector, where there’s competition and efficiency.” The CTF analysis excludes all contracted labour costs, including RCMP policing services, although policing costs are included in cities with municipal forces. Union of B.C. Municipalities president Sav Dhaliwal, a Burnaby city councillor, dismissed the findings as unsurprising. “A great portion of our operating costs have always been salary and benefits of our employees,” Dhaliwal said. “The services we provide are labour intensive – road, public transit, protective services, clean drinking water – all these require people to deliver those services.”

B.C. doctors seeking medical pot clarity Jeff NAGEL Black Press

B.C. doctors want the federal government to clear the haze around when they can appropriately prescribe medical marijuana. D r. Wi l l i a m Cunningham, past president of Doctors of B.C. (formerly the B.C. Medical Association), said Health Canada should fund in-depth studies to generate scientific evidence on the proper medical use of cannabis. He said Ottawa has so far shown little interest in conducting clinical trials and tests to clarify the key issues of concern to physicians – which patients should and should not use marijuana, what the correct dosage is, and what dangerous interactions might arise in combination with other medications. “It would be much better if government studied it properly and it was treated like any other pharmaceutical agent,” Cunningham said. He spoke in response to the release this fall of preliminary guidelines by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. The guidelines advise doctors to only authorize medical marijuana for patients with chronic nerve pain who haven’t found relief through other treatments. The college concluded medical pot isn’t appropriate for people under 25, those with a history of psychosis or

substance abuse, or for treatment of insomnia or anxiety. The Arthritis Society has also called for research to determine if cannabis is effective in controlling arthritis pain and, if so, what’s the best delivery method. The society says large numbers of authorized medical marijuana users are arthritis sufferers. B.C. doctors are under growing pressure from the public to prescribe pot but many have refused to do so due to concerns about liability and the lack of acceptable scientific evidence. Other pot-friendly doctors actively court the medical marijuana business, some running web clinics that offer rapid approvals via video conference. “That is a huge concern,” Cunningham

said. “I don’t think anybody should be doing that by Skype or FaceTime without examining the patient.” Federal policy has put doctors in a difficult position of being expected to prescribe a drug that is not authorized for therapeutic use, he added. Nearly 40,000 Canadians are believed to use marijuana for medical purposes. Commercial producers are building medical marijuana factories that Ottawa intends to make the sole legal sources. But a court challenge of the new federal policy is expected to be heard next year and previously licensed users hope to retain their ability to grow their own marijuana. Cunningham said Doctors of B.C. is also supporting the development of screening tools to detect drivers impaired by marijuana.

Cascades take fourth at CIS Nationals

The UFV Cascades women’s soccer team fought their way into the consolation final last Sunday in the CIS national championship in Quebec City, but walked away without a medal after surrendering an early lead to the eventual bronze medallists, the Ottawa GeeGees. The Cascades outshot Ottawa 16-6 in the first half, and were obviously the better team through 45 minutes. Defender Jade Palm scored in the 19th minute, heading the ball home on a Tristan Corneill corner, but UFV couldn’t capitalize on any of their other chances in the half. The Gee-Gees turned the tables in the second, scoring on a penalty kick in the 71st minute, and then again in the 90th on their way to a 2-1 victory. “We never really regained a foothold in the game,” UFV head coach Rob Giesbrecht said afterward. “I guess we’re paying the price for not getting more goals in the first half, because we were absolutely fantastic.” UFV dropped their semifinal match to the eventual CIS champions, the Laval Rouge et

Or (Quebec City), by a score of 3-0. The Cascades kept the game scoreless through 70 minutes, largely thanks to a heroic performance from goalkeeper Kayla Klim, but Laval managed three goals in the second half to ensure their place in the finals. Klim stopped eight shots, including multiple breakaways, in a game where the Cascades were consistently back on their heels. In retrospect, holding Laval to three goals was an impressive accomplishment, as the Quebec squad went on to demolish the Trinity Western University Spartans 5-0 in the championship game. UFV won its Thursday quarterfinal match against the Memorial Sea-Hawks (St. John’s, Nfld.) by a score of 2-1, with the criti-

cal goal coming in overtime. The Cascades led for much of the game, outshooting Memorial 35-19, but couldn’t manage to extend their lead beyond a single goal. Danica Kump opened the scoring for the Cascades in the 50th minute after a Memorial clearing attempt hit her in the box. She turned and fired a low shot under the diving SeaHawks keeper to give UFV the lead. It was redemption for a rebound in the first half that Kump had sent sailing over an open net. The Cascades would miss

CIS success for UFV soccer squad From A39

several gaping nets in the game, an unfortunate trend that allowed Memorial a chance to redeem themselves in the final minutes. Sea-Hawks midfielder Hannah Rivken scored in the 82nd minute to tie the game at one and force overtime. Battling a change in momentum, UFV could have given up on a game they clearly deserved to be winning, but instead the Cascades persevered in extra time. Striker Carley Radomski scored in the first half of OT to return the lead to UFV, and the Cascades successfully defended their advantage to the end. While UFV was unable to match the team’s legendary

bronze-medal performance in 2010, fans can rest comfortably in the knowledge that every single player is eligible to return next season for another crack at the championship. As Giesbrecht noted after the consolation final loss, the only three teams to beat UFV this season were the conference champions from Canada West (Trinity Western), Quebec (Laval) and Ontario (Ottawa). All three teams won national medals and UFV made each work for their victories. “It’s just been an awesome experience,” Giesbrecht said. “Sure, we go home in fourth, but we’re fourth in the country. We get to go out of here with our heads held high.”

Triple Crown test for local gym A four-member team from local gym Crossfit Abbotsford competed in the final leg of the West Coast Triple Crown last weekend, finishing 13th out of 36 teams from across B.C. and western Canada. The team, consisting of Abbotsford residents Daniel Tambosso, Concetta

D’Amato, Shane McAleese and Alicia Hurley, won the honour of participating in the Triple Crown by competing head-tohead with other gym members. This last leg of the Crown was held in the Richmond Olympic Oval, which is also the location of the Canada West regionals in

which crossfit athletes compete to represent the region in the national Crossfit Games. The Abbotsford team did well on Friday when called upon to perform exercises with their maximum weight, but truly excelled on Saturday during the longer workouts. The team placed fourth overall during the odd object lift, which involved hoisting a sandbag from the ground over the shoulder multiple times. Crossfit is a community driven, strength and conditioning program that has been designed to help participants excel in every aspect of fitness through functional movement. Crossfit has a strong communitydriven culture with 47 affiliated gyms in the lower mainland alone.

Langley takes local bonspiel The Abbotsford Masters Curling Club hosted their annual bonspiel Nov. 7-9 at the Curling Centre on McMillan Road. Twentyfour teams, including nine from Abbotsford, enjoyed the lively competition for cash prizes. Two Langley teams met in the final, where the team of Bruce Lonsbery, Jack Finnbogason, Kiyo Hamade and Wayne Bedard defeated the Doug Spencer rink. Local club teams held their own with the Munro and Sinclair rinks finishing in the prizes. There was some great curling, lots of prizes, a tremendous lunch and much laughter and fun throughout the weekend. Many out-of-town teams are already registered for next year’s event. This weekend the Centre will host the 25th annual Fraser Valley Masters Over 80 Bonspiel, with 12 teams competing for the Art Shaw Trophy. One team, from the Tunnel Town Curling Club, will be curling in their fifth consecutive 80-plus bonspiel, meaning every member of the team is at least 85 years old.

Pilots and Outlaws renew rivalry

The Abbotsford Pilots search for consistency continues this weekend as they face off against the Mission Outlaws Friday at MSA Arena at 7:30 p.m.. With two wins last weekend, the Pilots moved past Ridge Meadows and into third place in the Harold Brittain Conference. But with a record of 8-9-0-1, the Pilots continue to search for the high standard of play they have set the past several years.

Abbotsford’s Jake Virtanen scored a goal in a losing cause during the Subway Summit Series, which pits Russian junior hockey players against players from each of the three Canadian major junior hockey leagues. Virtanen, a firstround draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks, got his team of Western Hockey League players on the board in Monday’s game, which Russia won 3-2 in a shootout. The Russians won the following night by the same score in regulation time, despite being heavily outshot. Team Russia moved on to play teams from the Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Virtanen will now return to the Calgary Hitmen, for whom he has two goals and nine points in nine games so far this season. The Subway Super Series may not be the last time Virtanen pulls on a red and white jersey this year. Experts have predicted that the 18-year-old speedster will likely make Team Canada for the upcoming World Junior Championships, which will take place in Toronto and Montreal beginning

The life aquatic

Autistic swimmer finds joy in the pool Paul ESAU Abbotsford News

Darren Hewko has always loved water. At first it was a dangerous fixation, After all, the number one killer of autistic children like Darren is drowning. Yet now, at 17, swimming is Darrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sport and passion, a portal into a different world. As a member of the Yale Secondary swim team, Darren is required to attend two practices a week at the ARC, but he actually swims on his own every day after school, splitting his 20 lap regimen between backstroke and freestyle. His mother, Shirley, watches from the side, continually encouraged by how far her son has progressed. Swimming presents a number of challenges to an autistic individual, not the least of which is the chaos of the

average community pool. According to Shirley, Darren not only presents as deaf and mute, but his sensitivity to light and sound is 10 to 100 times higher than average. He has worked hard to become comfortable at the ARC. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he was in kindergarten he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even go into a gym because of the sounds and the echoing,â&#x20AC;? says Shirley, who compared that memory to a competition last year at the Surrey Sports Centre in which Darren swam in front of 500 people. She remembers the moment Darren realized he was being watched, a few strokes into the race, knowing that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to perform in front of others â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh no, this is 50-50 whether heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to keep swimming or just go back to the block and the competitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done for him.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?Â

Darren kept going, and by his last lap the entire building was cheering him on. For both Shirley and Darren it was a beautiful moment, the culmination of years of lessons and practice. Darren didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the race. He never wins his races. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a sense of competition, and simply swims because he loves the sport, and he loves being part of a team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It lets him have a sense of belonging and being,â&#x20AC;? says Shirley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most autistic people want to be left alone and not be in crowds, but my son prefers to be with people.â&#x20AC;? Darren doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the build of a conventional swimmer. At 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;2â&#x20AC;? and 290 pounds, he would make an ideal linebacker, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to find clothes or swim jammers that

fit his frame. Still, he is a master at treading water, and even his race times have improve dramatically over the last few years under coach Christine Ross. There is a category for high school swimmers with disabilities in B.C., although Shirley says that very few parents seem to know it exists. Most of the time, Darren competes outside his category, although last year at provincials in Richmond he swam his first race against other disabled swimmers. Darren improved upon his time by 27 seconds in that race, a 100-metre freestyle event. According to Shirley, he improves his time in almost

every race, although the increments aren’t usually as drastic. “He’s improving on his personal best every time he’s out there,” she says. “You should see the look on his face, he loves the atmosphere, which is something, 10 years ago, you could not have convinced me of because of the noise and crowds.” This weekend Darren is competing at the B.C. provincials at the Watermania Aquatic Centre in Richmond. He will race in the 50-metre freestyle, the 100metre freestyle, and the 50-metre backstroke. Like always, Shirley will be there taking photos and cheering on her son and his love of water.

drive. It needs to be treated with respect but getting on the power or the brakes is very smooth and effortless. The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload. After dozens of laps around the track with a top speed of 230km/h down the straight, this car is nothing short of amazing. Everything else just feels slow. Verdict The average buyer will still opt for the ($32,495) V6equipped cars sold with a solid 300 hp going to the rear wheels or all wheels, the V8-equipped cars are not offered with AWD any longer. The most amazing, but unspectacular part of the trip was driving the Hellcat back to Washington, D.C. through heavy traffic on the highway and downtown core. As we pulled up the W Hotel, just a block from the Whitehouse, the 707 hp Hellcat returned 9.9L/100km. Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the world’s fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.

MURRAY GM IS THE ONLY

AUTHORIZED GMC DEALER R IN ABBOTSFORD & MISSION

OVER 30 STORES IN CANADA

by Alexandra Straub

Locals call it the “Maui Merge.” It’s enough to take a blissfully mellow tourist and perhaps get them as heated as their freshly acquired crimson sunburn. It’s a merge that doesn’t take place within the lines of an ending lane, as one would imagine. Somehow that merge extends onto the shoulder and beyond. Watch out for the cyclist and the stray dog! It’s almost like a game, I’m told, to see how far ahead of all the other cars you can get. As I observe this type of manouevre in action from a Ford Escape rental vehicle, I can’t help but chuckle to myself. I guess some things stay the same no matter what kind of paradise you’re driving in. But it’s not all bad, right? If you’re not stuck in traffic on Maui’s west island’s main highway – which doesn’t always move at a highway-like speed – you’re in luck. You’ll have a warm, tropical breeze flowing through the cabin, unless you’re in need of an air conditioning overdose to counteract the humidity. Hawaii Route 30, also known as the Honoapi’ilani Highway, is a 56-kilometre stretch of road that you end up on when traveling to Lahaina or close to it. A “family” reunion just happened to be taking place on one of Hawaii’s eight islands, which gave me a perfect excuse to beat the fall blah’s and grey skies that this time of year blesses us with. I use family in bunny ears since my BFF since childhood, Nikki, and I have been sister-like since grade three. Her family is my family. And vice versa. And as families do, they try to figure out logistics and transportation; who will be going in whose car when it came to outings. A total of

nine of us were vacationing together. Luckily, my other sister, Minti lives on the island and had her Honda Odyssey to shuttle some adults, and her three daughters. Good thing. The Escape is roomy, though not that roomy. But when a chronic noise came from the brakes, the minivan was out of commission. Luckily for only a few hours, chaos could have ensued. Being the car person, I accompanied her to a local shop. Not only did her car get fixed very quickly, it gave insight into the local racing scene. Yes, there’s one on Maui and it’s probably not what you would have expected. Owner of Kaanapali Car Care, Bill Throckmorton, had his 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 on the hoist. With a small block Chevy inside that produces upwards of 400 horsepower, this vehicle meant business. Dirty business. From March to October, those looking for some wholesome family fun are invited to the dirt track to watch him, along with fellow sprint car racers and demolition derby participants. It takes place at the appropriately named “Paradise Speedway Maui.” Here’s the website in case you’re as curious as I am (http:// www.paradisespeedwaymaui.com) Regardless, I thanked him for his invite to the endof-season event but our schedule was packed to the brim. Lahaina was a quick commute (sometimes) from the Honua Kai resort where all of us gathered. Now that’s paradise. Until the driver behind you honks and you get to crawl forward a metre or so. “You’ll be at the beach soon,” you repeat to yourself. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Helping to light your way off-road intensity discharge which refers to a new technology that relies on an electrical charge to light the xenon gas contained in a sealed bulb. Unlike the halogen bulb, the HID bulb does not have a filament. Because there is no filament the bulbs are not susceptible to vehicle vibration damage, they are however effected by fluctuations in the vehicle’s electrical system and depending on the vehicle they may require some resistors.

The HID bulb creates light by bridging an arc between two electrodes, instead of heating a filament. This light is similar to the energy transfer when lightning strikes. The arc stimulates the xenon gases producing bright white beam of light. The next wave of off-road lighting technology is LED. Rigid is a leader in this technology. Low amperage and superior light projecting forward is why most off-road racers are switching to this type of light.

HID lights have become more popular with off-roaders these days. Installation is a little more work. But the principles remain the same. Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the kit. HID stands for High

from the relay positive out position to the lights and connect it to the positive feed on the lights. Ground the lights by attaching the black or ground wire to the frame or other ground on the truck.

With the nights getting longer and the dark grey days ahead, anybody venturing out to do a little four wheeling will tell you good off-road lighting is a must. Make sure you only operate them off-road. Good quality wiring of a set of off-road lights is important when installing them on your truck, SUV or 4x4. Simply running a power and ground may work but it’s not the correct way to wire them. Most off-road lights draw a lot of power when switching them on, and this load should never be applied directly to the switch. Using a relay for the switching duties will save your switch and lights as well as make for a safer installation. Relays are easy to install and some lights come with them, but if not, you can pick up a relay from your local auto parts store. Install a switch in the cab of your truck in a location that is convenient for you to reach, or tap into the high-beam circuit of the headlights to power the relay. Mount the relay inside the cab, under the dash or other location out of the way and out of the elements. Run a wire from the battery or other positive source to the switch. This is the positive feed to switch the relay on. You will also need to run a ground wire to the switch from the frame or other ground then run a positive feed wire from the battery to the positive in position on the relay. There will be four connectors on the relay: a positive, a negative, a positive out and a positive in from the battery. Read the packaging or directions to determine which is which. Find the ground position on the relay and run a wire from it to a good ground on the chassis of the vehicle. Anywhere on the frame or other metal structure of the vehicle will normally

produce a decent ground. Run a section of wire from the switch output to the switched power input on the relay. Again, this will be marked or identified on the directions that came with your relay. Run the last wire

HELEN McTAGGART 90 Years Old November 15, 2014

Aug. 18, 1924 ~ Nov. 9, 2014

BISHOP Alice Alice Ruth Bishop aged 97 years passed away peacefully on November 9, 2014 at The Residence in Mission. She is lovingly remembered by her children Ruth (Ernie) Kaufmann, Ken (Valerie) Bishop, Grace (Tom) Lang; grandchildren Alan, Joanna, Steven, Brian, Bradley and Derek; great-grandchildren Taylor, Emily, Kayla, Ethan and Oak; sister Grace Anderson as well as many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. She is predeceased by her husband Charlie; brother Ralph; sisters Clara and Ida. A Celebration of Life was held at Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home on Thursday, November 13, 2014. The family would like to thank all the staff at T.R.I.M for their loving and compassionate care for our mom. We would also like to thank Dr. Wouterloot for the care of both of our parents over all the years. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at: www.woodlawnfh-mission.com Arrangements entrusted to Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home (604) 826-9548

CURRY M. Jacqueline (Jackie) (nee Milne) Nov. 16, 1924 ~ Nov 6., 2014

Sadly we announce the passing of Jackie Curry. Predeceased by her parents Charlotte Ruth Clay and Peter Duncan Milne; brothers Bill and Bob and sisters Ruth, Marguerite and Doreen. She is survived by sister Sally Crooks, son Ken Curry (Char), grandchildren Erin and Russ, great-grandson Tyler, as well as many nieces and nephews. Jackie was born and grew up in Vancouver joining the RCAF, as a flight controller for the duration of WWII. She was a natural and gifted athlete who excelled in sports - especially baseball. Few ball players could throw the ball from centre field to home plate for that “out” like Jackie. After many years in the Yukon, she moved to BC and finally to Aldergrove, remaining there for the rest of her days. Special thanks owed to Jackie’s caregivers, Nurse Kelly and her team, and Dr. Methven. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the SPCA or the charity of your choice. A private family memorial will be held at a later date.

DEGUCHI Hama Hama Nakagawa Deguchi was welcomed into the presence of her Lord on October 31, 2014, at the age of 96. Her love and faith in God were most important to her, and she could often be heard saying, “I’m ready to go up”; her prayer has been answered. Hama was the oldest of 8 children. Hama taught primary school for 22 years, most of it in the Salmon Arm, BC, area. She retired early and moved to Abbotsford in 1984 to care for her mother and continued to share her teaching gift by volunteering at John McClure Elementary School and at Seven Oaks Alliance Church in their ESL programme. Her passion was to see each of her students excel. She exercised faithfully, rarely missing an exercise class or walking opportunity at Bevan Village and MSA Manor. Hama was predeceased by her son, Herb, and by siblings Marjorie, May, Mike, Ardith, and Harry. She is survived by daughter, Valerie (& Malcolm Brewer), sisters Kay and Audrey, three grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and many nieces and nephews. A memorial will be planned at a later date in Salmon Arm, BC. The family is grateful to the superb staff at MSA Manor for their loving and competent care, and to Connie Smith who faithfully visited Hama. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

SOSATH, Ramona Ute Tamara Nov 16, 1951 - Nov 4, 2014 Our beloved Ramona passed unexpectedly on November 4th, 2014, after complications following a heart attack. Ramona was a shining academic star throughout her life, striving always to satiate her hunger for knowledge. She was artistic, with a love for painting, photography and making greeting cards, and she was a talented pianist who enjoyed all types of music. Ramona gave of herself to everyone. She was devoted to her mother, Irene Sr & to her two children, Irene Jr & John. Ramona did everything she could to surround her family with love & to support her children’s growth & aspirations. Ramona was driven to help others professionally as well, with a career in the medical lab and later as a clinical psychologist. She was particularly proud of the milestones in recovery achieved by many of her counselling clients. The family would like to convey their most heartfelt thanks to the Mission Fire Department & Paramedics, and the caring doctors and staff of the Abbotsford Regional Hospital who did everything possible for Ramona in her time of need. A celebration of life will be held on November 19th from 1-3 pm at Alouette Addictions, 22477 Lougheed Hwy, Maple Ridge. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cythera House.
