Officers awarded for bravery Among 36 honoured across Canada

Two Abbotsford Police officers were among 36 people who received Decorations of Bravery on May 1 from Canada Gov. Gen. David Johnston. Const. Jason Baskin and Const. Mark Frendo received the Medal of Bravery – one of three honours presented – for an incident that occurred in June 2008, when they rescued a suicidal man who had set fire to his house in

Abbotsford. The pair broke through the front door, made their way through the thick smoke and found the man hiding in the bathtub. Fighting to breathe and racing against the flames, Baskin and Frendo grabbed the unconscious man and dragged him outside to safety. The Decorations of Bravery are

awarded annually to people who risk their lives to try to save someone whose life is in immediate danger. The Cross of Valour recognizes acts of courage in circumstances of extreme peril, while the Star of Courage honours acts involving great peril. The Medal of Bravery recognizes acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances.

May 8, 2015 Notice of Public Information Meeting Proposed amendment to Official Community Plan Bylaw, 2005 for properties located at 31806, 31828, 31838 and 31850 Marshall Road

Bevan Avenue Wells Operation Notice As per the terms of Environmental Assessment Certificate W11-01, the City of Abbotsford is permitted to run four drinking water wells at the southwest corner of Mill Lake Park in order to meet peak demand for water during summer months. The approved pumping capacity is 290 L/s. A total of 2,505 million litres of water may be drawn from these wells annually, between May and September until December 31, 2015. Please contact Amy Peters, Water Conservation Program Coordinator, City of Abbotsford Engineering Department, at 604-864-5514, with any questions.

Small Curbside Collection Containers The City is phasing out the use of small curbside collection containers such as the 7L kitchen catcher pail. These small containers are intended for in-house use and are not designed for curbside collection. They are not durable enough for curbside collection, and do not meet the container height requirement for curbside collection. If you need to replace or purchase a new curbside collection container, please ensure it is designed for outdoor curbside collection. You may continue to use the small containers in-house and empty into an acceptable curbside container. The City of Abbotsford will hold a public information meeting to provide an opportunity for the public to comment on a proposal to amend the Clearbrook Area Plan to permit Assembly Use. This amendment is necessary in conjunction with the applicant’s proposal to rezone the lands that together would permit the construction of an industrial building that is proposed to include a 1560 m2 banquet facility on the 2nd floor.

Curbside collection containers for both garbage and compostables must be designed for outdoor curbside collection and have the following features: •

are 80 litres or smaller;

•

have graspable handles (two graspable handles are required for containers greater than 50 litres);

•

have a secure lid;

The public is invited to attend this meeting to comment on the proposed OCP amendment. The applicant will be available to answer questions regarding the proposed development. Presentation boards will also be available which will outline the preliminary proposed drawings in greater detail.

•

weigh less than 23 kg (50 lb.) after waste is placed in container; and

•

are between 56 and 76 cm tall (22 - 30 inches).

Meeting date: Wednesday, May 13, 2015 Time: 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Location: Abbotsford Traditional Secondary School, 2272 Windsor Street, Abbotsford

These features will ensure collection efficiency and reduce the likelihood of worker injury. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Engineering Department at 604-864-5514 or eng-info@abbotsford.ca.

If you have any questions, please contact Blake Collins, Senior Planner, at 604-851-4182 or bcollins@abbotsford.ca.

City paid down $8.5M in debt in ’14

Alex BUTLER

Abbotsford News

The city is paying down its debt and saw a surplus last year, according to the 2014 annual report brought before council last week. The city repaid $8.5 million in 2014, with longterm debt at the end of the year at $69.8 million – down from $78.3 million in 2013. The debt that remains on Plan A projects, including the Abbotsford Centre, The Reach gallery and improvements to the Abbotsford Recreation Centre, accounts for the bulk of remaining debt – $68 million – which cannot be paid out early as the city would be financially penalized according to the loan agreement. The Abbotsford Centre is expected to be paid off by 2032. The remaining debt for water and sewer – about $1.7 million – is expected to be paid off by 2016. The city’s total capital reserves increased by $17 million to just over $96 million in 2014, up from $79 million in 2013. Mayor Henry Braun said while there is more work to be done, “we are definitely in a better financial shape today than we were just a few years ago.”

Valley house prices climb 5% in past year Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Detached house prices climbed 5.2 per cent in the past year in the Fraser Valley, while townhouse and apartment prices are stagnant. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board reported that its benchmark price for houses continued to gain in the early months of 2015 to reach $595,600 in April. That’s up 15 per cent from five years ago. The strongest gains were in South Surrey/White Rock, where houses were up eight per cent since April of 2014. Townhouses have been tepid, however, with the Fraser Valley benchmark price of $300,400 up just 0.6 per cent from a year earlier and down 1.9 per cent from five years ago. Apartments have fared worse yet, with benchmark prices down 2.6 per cent from a year ago to $191,200. That’s a drop of 8.8 per cent from five years ago. Abbotsford has actually seen strong one-year price gains for townhouses (up 7.3 per cent) and apartments (up 11 per cent) but apartment price drops of around eight per cent or more in Langley, Surrey and North Delta have pulled the regional average down. Price gains continue to be stronger closer to Vancouver in communities tracked by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, which includes all cities north of the Fraser as well as Tsawwassen. The REBGV benchmark price for detached houses was up 12.5 per cent from a year ago to $1.08 million and runs as high as $2.5 million on Vancouver’s west side. Greater Vancouver townhouses gained 5.7 per cent on average from a year ago to $493,300 and apartments climbed 4.4 percent to $394,200. “The supply of homes for sale today in the region is not meeting the demand we’re seeing from home buyers,” said REBGV president Darcy McLeod. “This is putting upward pressure on prices, particularly in the detached home market.”

More opposition to proposed provincial riding changes Mayor, tourism director join chamber’s opposition Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

More Abbotsford residents have added their voices to the opposition against proposed changes to provincial ridings, which would see the city represented by five different MLAs following the next election. Last week, the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce announced it was strongly opposed to the plan, and supplied a written submission to the Electoral Boundaries Commission, which had released the preliminary report on the changes in March. The commission periodically reviews electoral boundaries to accommodate changes in population and ensure equal representation. The three existing ridings in Abbotsford are Abbotsford West, Abbotsford South and Abbotsford-Mission. In the proposal, sections of neighbouring communities would be combined, creating the electoral dis-

It would also change the borders of the existing Abbotsford-Mission riding. The boundaries would split sections of Abbotsford along Highway 1 and Highway 11, with a solely local riding in central Abbotsford. A submission from Mayor Henry Braun

echoed the chamber’s opposition. The letter states that in Abbotsford and Mission, sharing a riding is logical and appropriate due to a number of shared services – but connecting Langley and Abbotsford will not serve either community well and will reduce the effectiveness of provincial representation. Braun maintained that using Highway 1

as a divider “ignores the regulatory, operational, economic and land use realities of this region.” “The proposed boundaries tear our communities apart and put them together in a way that create significant disadvantages for citizens depending on the portion of the riding in which they reside.” Craig Nichols, executive director of Tourism Abbotsford, also sub-

mitted a note of opposition, saying the changes would “fracture the representation of the communities of Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack to the detriment of its citizens…” Many individual residents also echoed the chamber’s submission, encouraging alterations to the proposal. Input can submitted online at bc-ebc. ca until 11:59 p.m. on May 26.

Futility of BCTF’s litigiation includes the province’s teachers. Yes, we need better funding for our school system in B.C., but taking the provincial government to court at each and every turn has only seriously impacted the BCTF’s finances, its reputation and the general public attitude towards it and its members. B.C.’s teachers need to have better leadership, not only by the elected officials of their union but by their paid senior management, and need to hire new lawyers. It is time to start to improve the relationship between the government, the province’s school trustees, the general public and the BCTF and its members – teachers who work hard, carry out a challenging task on a daily basis and who need to work together for the betterment of our children’s education. G.E. MacDonell, Abbotsford

By now, you will have become aware of the B.C. Court of Appeal decision regarding the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and its five-year-long litigious process to determine if the B.C. government has the authority, the legal and moral right to invoke legislation to alter the working conditions of the province’s 40,000-plus teachers. It does, despite the differing opinion of only one appeal court justice. And yet, the BCTF’s president Jim Iker has sworn to take the issue to the Supreme Court of Canada over alleged constitutional infringements, and on “appropriate” consultation, “good faith” in bargaining, associated regulations and issues pertaining to Bill 22 and Bill 28. What it all comes down to is the legitimacy of the provincial government to oversee all aspects of the governance of the public sector, which

Grad rates above B.C. average Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

With nearly nine of every 10 students receiving their Dogwood diploma within six years, Abbotsford’s graduation rate sits comfortably

above the provincial average. Despite that good news, Superintendent Kevin Godden told the Abbotsford board of education Tuesday that number can rise even

higher, especially when it comes to local aboriginal students. In 2013/14, Abbotsford’s graduation rate was 88.6 per cent, seven percentage points above the provincial

average, Godden told trustees as he presented the district’s annual Achievement Report. That’s a slight dip from the 2012/13 rate of 89.8 per cent but is still above the district’s fiveyear average. The aboriginal graduation rate, meanwhile, was about 75 per cent, a number that is above the provincial average but still needs improvement, Godden said. The Achievement Report – a provincially mandated document – aims to raise the aboriginal grad rate to 90 per cent, by assisting aboriginal support staff, providing mentoring and recognizing role models for aboriginal students, and promoting “integration of indigenous knowledge into instruction and assessment practices.” The report also showed that Abbotsford students continue to score better than the provincial average on Grade 4 reading performance evaluations and Grade 7 reading and numeracy foundational skills assessment tests.

An Abbotsford teenager and her friend are organizing an event to raise awareness about sex trafficking. Amani Schweitzer said 75 to 80 per cent of human trafficking is for sex and that 98 per cent of victims being trafficked for sexual exploitation are girls. Now she wants to do something about it. The Sex Trafficking Awareness Night fundraiser will take place on May 29 at Columbia Bible College. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. There will be speakers from Cyrus Centre and REED (Resisting Exploitation, Embrace Dignity), as well as live music, a silent auction, coffee and dessert.

Exhibit will feature mixed-media painter, crystalline potters A triple-artist exhibition will feature mixed-media painter and photographer Cristal Sawatzky, and crystalline potters Pat Schendel and Brandon Martin at the Kariton Art Gallery (2387 Ware St.) The show will run from May 16 to June 9, with the opening reception and artist meet-and-greet on May 16, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sawatzky considers this series of work a development of her love of photography, contemporary art and vintage details. Using found materials and

mixed mediums, she paints and texturizes her surfaces giving them their own sense of history. Schendel was

born and raised in Abbotsford, moving to Kamloops for her nursing education. It was during an adult education class in 1975 that she became interested in clay. She dabbled

Since the inaugural trip in 1997 and their purchase of the Odyssey, the Muellers have acquired 13 new Honda’s in Abbotsford, ranging from Ridgelines, Pilot’s and their new favorite, the CRV! As the family’s needs changed, their vehicles followed suit. Just this past week, they traded their 2012 CRV for a new 2015 model with all the new bells and whistles. This now makes their thirteenth consecutive Honda from The Honda Way! Not stopping there, the Muellers have recommended The Honda Way to close friends after sharing their experience of ownership and satisfaction. As a result, the dealership has sold an additional 4 vehicles for a total of 17, through the Mueller endorsements! Not bad for a tiny Honda store which started with grass roots and a small lot off of South Fraser Way in the late 80’s and making the strategic move to its present location.

The relationship was fostered as far back as 1997 when Helmut and Roswitha Mueller were travelling west, back to their home in 100 Mile House, from a trip spent in the big city of Vancouver. As they were driving into Abbotsford, in their Toyota Sienna mini van, they spotted the big sign of the Fraser Valley Auto Mall. As they approached the east bound exit and being the adventurous type of travellers, the Muellers made the quick decision to investigate the auto mall and take a break on the way home. It did not take long for them to round the ‘loop‘ and discover a brand new Honda Odyssey, sitting in the west end of the mall at The Honda Way. The rest, as they say, is history!

“The vision and practicality of moving to a 44 acre site in the Fraser Valley Auto Mall with freeway visibility and access, was the stimulus and a factor to our relationship with the Muellers,” says Byron Hall, Dealer Principle at The Honda Way. “Without it, the Muellers may have passed us by!” As Helmut states, “Our loyalties to The Honda Way started immediately

Roswitha & Helmut with Lola & Byron Hall after our initial purchase. Given we live 400 kilometres away, they always under promised and over delivered to our complete satisfaction! We knew immediately this was a dealership offering great value, employing professional and extremely helpful staff. The owners, Byron and his wife Lola, have become our friends over the years and when we bring in our vehicles for service and maintenance, we make a point of getting together with them! “

“Our loyalties to the Honda Way started immediately after our initial purchase.” Given the fact the Muellers live 400 kilometres north of Abbotsford and do all of their maintenance and servicing at The Honda Way, presents a strong testament to the service team and commitment to customer satisfaction. “It may seem like coincidence, but every time we bring our Honda to their store for regular maintenance, we seem to leave with a Lola Hall chocolate cake,” says Roswitha with glee!

“We are treated like royalty by managers, Roy and Michelle and their entire service team. It makes our decision easy to continue buying new vehicles, knowing we are essentially treated as extended family and part of their store!” “It’s customers like the Muellers that make us who we are today and we are forever thankful,” says Brian Choo, General Manager. “Our success and growth is forever tied to our strong brand and our goal to provide an exceptional experience in everything we do.” As a result of the growth and demand for Honda product, The Honda Way will build a new store offering the best of all facets for any vehicle buying experience. Shoppers and owners alike will see an expanded showroom, service department and all the modern conveniences customers deserve and expect, heading into the future. Watch for more details and exciting plans with their new footprint at the main entrance to the Fraser Valley Auto Mall. “If all goes according to plan, the eighteenth Mueller Honda may be delivered sometime in 2016 from our new facility,” says Byron with a smile!

‘R’ word pledges

May 9, 2015

MOVE for

A campaign to stop the use of the “R” word collected almost 2,000 signatures in Abbotsford last month. The Spread the Word to End the Word campaign was designed to raise awareness about the dehumanizing and hurtful effects of the “R” word – retard or retarded – and encourage people to pledge to stop using it. The campaign was organized in Abbotsford by Grade 11 Yale Secondary student Roshan Gosal, who had set a goal of 1,000 signatures, but collected 1,871. The program ran from April 13 to 17 at Yale, W.J. Mouat, MEI and Abbotsford Traditional high schools.

Abbotsford News

Eight of the province’s top 100 elementary schools are in Abbotsford, according to the latest school report from the Fraser Institute. The report ranked and rated 978 public and private elementary schools in the province based on the Foundation Skills Assessment tests given to students in Grades 4 and 7. The tests assess students’ reading, writing, and numeracy skills. The leading public schools in Abbotsford are King Traditional elementary, Matsqui, and Auguston Traditional. The schools are ranked 53, 67, and 73, respectively. King Traditional had an overall rating of 8.9 out of 10. Scores at that school have improved over the past several years from 8.0 in 2012 to 8.6 in 2013. Matsqui scored 8.7 in 2014, while Auguston Traditional was set at 8.6 in 2014. Independent schools in Abbotsford also scored high. MEI was tied for 53rd place in the province with a score of 8.9 out of 10. St. James school was listed in 67th position with a score of 8.7. MEI has consistently been one of the top-rated schools in B.C.. The Fraser Institute uses results from the controversial Foundation Skills Assessments tests as one of several measure to ranks schools. The institute maintains its report gives parents information about a school’s academic performance, but critics say other factors need to be considered in the rankings, such as support in the classroom and engagement in other activities.

Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-

served for the real estate agents and their clients. This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home. To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811. This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

The numbers for March are out and so far this year it’s looking quite positive for Real Estate in the Fraser Valley, particularly for Detached Homes. Overall sales this past March were the highest in 9 years! While new listings were up 11% year over year, the total number of listings was down about 7% as higher sales eroded the inventory. The Benchmark price for Detached Houses was up 4.5% and for Townhomes up 0.9%. However, for Apartment Condos, it’s still a Buyers market as their Benchmark price was down about 2.4% over last year. Lastly, average days on market for Detached Homes was down to 38 days, while Townhomes took 48 days and Apartments took 61 days, both similar to March last year.

Coffee Mornings support Matthew’s House Esther Froese recently invited some friends over for coffee. Twenty, in fact, neighbours, fellow volunteers and friends from church the local thrift shop. Starbucks showed up with hot coffee and a tray of goodies. And when it was all over, the gathering raised more than $1,000 for Matthew’s House. “I was really pleased,” Esther says. Matthew’s House supports families by providing quality care in a homelike environment to children with complex care needs. Froese has a special connection to Matthew’s House – she is the grandmother of Matthew, after whom this respite home is named. Complications during his birth left Matthew completely dependent on others for every aspect of daily living. His parents, Doug and Andrea sought to honour that legacy of love by supporting other families like theirs. Matthew’s House opened its doors in November 2013, providing respite care for families and giving parents an opportunity for rest. It costs nearly $1 million annually to keep Matthew’s House open, most of which comes from donations. Several Coffee

Mornings for Matthew’s House were held in April. They are simple events. People are invited for coffee and goodies and asked for a donation to Matthew’s House. More than 20 Coffee Morning events were held this year in board rooms, school gyms and private homes. At Cascade Aerospace, hundreds of employees attended their second annual Coffee Morning. One of their employees has a daughter who visits Matthew’s House. Having this personal connection made the opportunity to support this resource much more meaningful. “Our employees responded very well to our event,” said Lorna Hart, director of marketing for Cascade Aerospace. “Matthew’s House was selected as a preferred charity by our employees and they came prepared to make their donations.” Donations from Coffee Morning are still being tallied but the events have surpassed last year’s totals, with nearly $7,000 already gathered. Alan Cavin, the resource development co-ordinator for Matthew`s House, is thrilled with this year’s results. “We are so pleased with how this event is supported in the community,” he said. “We’re looking forward to how Coffee Morning will grow next year.”

Starting on May 1, local lawns can be watered twice-weekly until Sept. 30 in Abbotsford. Even-numbered addresses can water lawns Wednesdays and Saturdays while odd-numbered addresses can water Thursdays and Sundays, in both cases from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. A city report notes that this year’s lack of snowpack in the watershed and the potential for warmer -than-average temperatures could force the city to rely more on its wells for water this summer. Abbotsford gets its water from Norrish Creek, but is also serviced by the Bevan Wells, for which the

The Valley Power and Sail Squadron is inviting the public to learn more about its programs on Saturday, May 23. The squadron is among the organizations taking part in the Community Programming Open House at Abbotsford Centre (33800 King Rd.) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The organization covers the areas of Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Hope and Agassiz-Harrison. The squadron holds boating courses, monthly meetings, cruises and socials. The 173 squadrons across Canada have a common purpose – “to increase safely and pleasure on the waterways through education.” The local squadron consists of members who operate any kind of boat — from kayaks to large power or sailboats.

The group hosts a monthly meeting and gathers for numerous social activities, including “cruises” at places such as Harrison Lake, Indian Arm and the Gulf Islands. Courses are offered for all types of boaters – from obtaining a pleasure craft operator’s card to advanced navigation and GPS charting. Those who complete the course and pass the “pleasure craft operators” exam receive a Canadian Coast Guard pleasure craft operator card. A VHF radio course is also offered in the fall and spring. For course information or for more details about the Valley Power and Sail Squadron, call Bruce Matheson at 604-824-8616 or Charleen Blackall at 604-859-6102 or visit boatingcourses.ca.

After your car’s engine is shut down, gasoline vapor deposits left in the fuel injector can form a hard varnish. In time, this builds up and clogs the injector. In order to get the most out of your fuel injectors, you need to make sure to clean them periodically.

Hoping to be remembered Simon GIBSON Contributor

John O’Hara was an author of fiction in the 1950s-60s and experienced considerable success with popular novels – some of which were made into movies. I read a number of his books as a high school student and, while entertaining, they could hardly be called great works of literature. Today, I believe most of his novels are now out of print. O’Hara, however, had a high estimation of his writing abilities and struggled with disappointment as recognition eluded him.

He was unable to attend Yale – which would have given him prestige – and requested an honorary degree: but this was denied. He aspired to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, but was never even considered. Tragically, at the end of his life, he wrote the epitaph for his tombstone which was his attempt to achieve recognition, albeit posthumously: “Better than anyone else, he told the truth about this time. He was professional. He wrote honestly, and well.” O’Hara ended his life disillusioned and desperately wanting to be remembered. I believe there is something innate within

all of us that longs for a measure of immortality: a desire to leave a personal remembrance after our passing. If you visit any legislature or civic building, you’ll be confronted with myriad plaques and pictures – a formal legacy for various leaders. Names will be recorded but, in a matter of a few years, the signifiance of their contributions will be largely forgotten. Genuine immortality is inextricably connected to our relationship to God. He desires to have a relationship with us and his love for us is eternal. The Bible says, “God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave and he will receive me.”

You also may be familiar with the most familiar Bible verse: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him, should not perish but have everlasting life.” Jesus, who was perfect, died on the cross, to pay the penalty for your sins. And he rose from the dead. Why not call upon God today, through Christ, and accept his love for you? Confess your sins to him and ask him to come into your life. Now would be the best time to make the most important decision you will ever make!

Looks Gone are the days when a work van The driver’s cabin Ram sells four different versions of the was a full-size truck or traditional North Promaster City: two work versions and looks like it’s out American styled van; these European two passenger versions.

All of these vans larger powertrain. come with two sliding doors for easy access regardless of the vehicle’s use. Inside The back doors of any work van are used a lot and Drive Ram uses a 60/40 split to allow the driver easy access What makes this van a compelling choice is the cato the cargo without having to open the entire door pability for the chassis and the engine.

the handling much more car like. Having a chance to drive this new van through an obstacle course made me appreciate the nimbleness of the van. Its car-like ride keeps the driver from feeling fatigued. Verdict One of the advantages of Fiat taking over Chrysler is the broader range of products they can introduce into the North American market. The team in Michigan took the award winning Doblo from Fiat and modified it to meet our needs. Things like the springs and shocks being stiffer and raising the ride height to help when driving over our rougher roads. The larger engine, running on gasoline will appeal to a wider audience than diesel but some buyers will wish that a diesel option were available here. At first glance, this Promaster City is something new, from a brand that has a lot of experience building smaller vans for urban environments. If you are in the trades and don’t need a full-size vehicle, this type of van is up to the job. The Lowdown Power: 2.4L 178hp 4-cylinder Fill-up: N/A Write to zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

IT’S REALLY REALLY UP TO

For the past two weeks, ICBC has sought to warn drivers to be aware of road users on twowheels in its safety tips published here. Does the fact that drivers have to be reminded to be alert, deter you from getting astride a bike, motorized or otherwise?

driveway Four least sexy convertibles ever built Sex appeal has typically made it easier to sell cars. The movie industry has always favoured convertibles for their leading men and women, whether Carey Grant, Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly, Kevin Costner or Susan

Sarandon. Virtually any car becomes sexy when you chop the top, but I did say virtually. These five cars resist the glamour and glitz that often come with convertibles. 1985-1987 AMC

Alliance Convertible: Built in the United States using a 1.7-litre engine and transmission from Renault, the Alliance was very much French in feeling. It was small, mundane in appearance and less than competitive

against the best from Volkswagen, Toyota and Honda. It wasn’t cool with a roof and it didn’t get cooler without one. A good measure of its appeal then is its collectability and desirability now, which is nil.

1989 Yugo Cabriolet: The formula for the Yugo was simple and it was laughable. Buy a 20-yearold-design of a highly rust-prone Italian economy car, barely update it and ship it to America by the thousands. At first, people will buy a product that is vastly cheaper than the competition, but once

the public finds out that it is slow, unattractive, outdated, uncomfortable and minimally reliable, the charm leaves in a hurry. Did a convertible version help the image and dramatically boost the sales? Again, the answer was, “Not really,” a response that was reinforced by a price that was double the cost of the

GV Plus hatchback. 1960-1963 Studebaker Lark VI Convertible: Solid, sensible and reliable all summed up Studebaker’s Lark. It was a good car without flash or panache, which had limited appeal to car-mad teens. There’s no question that lowering the top on the Lark made for a pleasant experience, but it didn’t change the status of this car from dud to stud when it came to sex appeal. 1908-1927 Model T Ford: Ford’s Tin Lizzie has always been rugged, reliable and in a class of its own. But sexy? Not likely. The roadster or touring car versions may be fun, simply because fun goes with open-air motoring like peanut butter goes with jelly. Sex appeal, though, simply isn’t part of the equation with this American icon. Leon Rochocco, Jr. writes for Hagerty Insurance.

One of the many things we remember is you always reminding us no matter what we go through in life, there is someone always going through something worse. You didn’t just talk the talk, but you walked the walk. Your kindness and willingness to forgive was your strength. Always willing to help someone who was in need or simply praying for someone you saw who touched your heart. Compassion is something you instilled in your children and like you, we will pass down to our children. The hardest part about losing you is life goes on. It’s bitter sweet because God has truly blessed us, but the sting of your absence remains.

Tena was a gentle and humble woman always willing to lend a hand, non judgmental of others. She was a fine and gentile lady. Perhaps those who knew here would like to go for walk in her memory and reflect upon this gentle souls time amongst us. Mom loved flowers so for those who would care to, flowers may be sent to her site at Maclure Road Cemetery. The caretaker will give directions as to where for those who don’t know.

BERGEN DAYE

Henry In loving memory of Henry Bergen who went to be with his Lord and Saviour very peacefully on April 29, 2015 at the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission. Henry was born on September 11, 1930 in the home of his parents, Gerhardt and Suzanne Bergen in Adelsheim, Ukraine. Predeceased by his parents and three siblings, as well as his loving wife, Tina in 1994 and two sons, Dan (1974) and Garry (2008) and daughter-in-law Joanne (2008). Dad was the second oldest of 6 children. In 1948, he, along with his mom and siblings immigrated to Canada on the Volendam ship and settled in Kelowna. In 1954 he married our mother, Tina and they had three sons and two daughters. Dad was a hard worker and did many different jobs throughout his life - janitorial, lumberjack, cement finisher and framer. He even built the house he was still living in! Dad also enjoyed gardening, playing the organ and especially loved his flowers and the church hymns. He accepted the Lord as his Saviour as a young teen and followed Him all his days. He will be greatly missed by his son Eric (Kathy), and daughters Linda (John) and Laurie, also his grandchildren Shaun (Lindy), Jennifer, Bradley, Richard, Jolie (Jordan), Chantal (Brad), Brenda (Keith), Brad (Stephanie), Kris (Kayla) and Jonathan as well as great grandchildren, Hudson, Curtis, Payton and Carter. Dad is also survived by his brother, Richard from Winnipeg and sister Erna from Langley, as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Roy Kelso, age 85 of Abbotsford, British Columbia passed away on April 29, 2015. He was born, the youngest of nine children, on July 7, 1929 in Douglas, Isle of Man. Roy spent the first 25 years of his life on the island where he attained his journeyman plumber’s certificate and met his future wife, Phyllis Corrin. Roy immigrated to Canada in 1955; Phyllis joined him shortly after and the two were married in November of the same year. Roy and family lived in three provinces and two states before establishing roots in Abbotsford, BC in 1971. In 1994 he retired from the Abbotsford School District where he was remembered for his impact in building a vibrant social culture with support staff. Roy was an active member of the Freemasons and The Order of Eastern Star. He was most at home on the golf course, a past president of Ledgeview Golf and Country Club where he was a member for over four decades. Roy is remembered as a gentle, kind man with an engaging sense of humour, who had a gift for putting people at ease. Roy is survived by his wife, Phyllis and their children: Corinne Stevenson (Harold), Glenn Kelso (Carol) and JoAnne Lardeur (Greg). He is also survived by six grandchildren. The family would like to thank the doctors and nursing staff at the Cancer Clinic at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and the nursing staff and volunteers at Christine Morrison Hospice for their loving care. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Christine Morrison Hospice or a charity of the donor’s choice. A Celebration of Life will be held 3:00 - 6:00 PM on May 15, 2015 at Ledgeview Golf & Country Club. Online condolences to the family may be made to: www.wiebeandjeskefh.com

Predeceased by her father Tom, Lindsey is survived by her mother Janet; sister Lesley and niece Mattia; husband Rob; and their five children Gilbert, Monique, Luc, Celine, and Kaiya. Lindsey was born in Kitimat, BC in 1968, but spent most of her life in Mission, BC. She completed her teaching degree at UBC after finishing a Bachelor of Arts at SFU, and returned home to pursue her career. Lindsey was a dedicated educator, wife, and mother. She loved to travel and spend time with friends and family, and would often comment on how fortunate she was to have a close family and many friends. Lindsey took comfort in knowing that so many caring people would look after her children and family in the future. We are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. A memorial service will be held at the Cedar Valley Mennonite Church at 1:00 pm, Saturday, May 9, 2015.
