Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
After several wild moments of vehicular mayhem, a car thief with more than 80 prior convictions is back behind bars. An Abbotsford Police officer was on patrol just before 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday when he heard a commotion coming from a car dealership at Garden Street and South Fraser Way. The officer was surprised to see a man crashing a Pontiac Firefly into several unoccupied cars on the lot of Windmill Auto Sales. The driver was attempting to steal the Pontiac, but it was blocked in by other Po vehicles that he was trying to ram v VIDEINOE past. The officer called for backup ONLws.com and attempted to stop the driver, who abbyne continued to smash into parked cars. c At A one point he drove at the officer, narrowly missing him. Several other officers arrived, pulled the man out of the vehicle and arrested him. The 31-year-old is back in prison and is facing several charges. Const.

A new book on Abbotsford’s history was dedicated to former Mayor George F. Ferguson on Monday at a meeting of city council. The MSA Museum Society recently announced the publication of the book Village to City: A Commitment to Excellence and Innovation, which features contributions from more than forty local authors about a variety of topics. Ferguson was mayor of the Abbotsford district from 1972 until 1995, when he became mayor of the newly amalgamated city from 1995 to 2002.

Women and duckling rescued Pair need help after trying to assist bird Two women trying to save a baby duck in Fishtrap Creek had to be rescued themselves Monday evening when they found themselves stranded on a small island as darkness approached. Abbotsford Fire Rescue and paramedics crews were called to the park just after 8 p.m. by one of two women who had attempted to help a duckling that seemed to have been injured by a fish hook. The women became mired in mud. Although they were able to extract themselves, they then
found themselves on a small island. One of the women called 9-1-1 and relayed their location, but her phone soon died. Crews were nevertheless able to find the women. To get to the pair, though, they had to crawl through blackberry bushes and brambles and use a ladder to reach the women. After about 45 minutes, the crews were able to help the women to safety, along with the small duck. The bird was is in good condition and was taken to Elizabeth’s Wildlife Centre.

Donations TALE OF THE TAPE help to digitize Abbotsford’s history Generous community donations will help preserve Abbotsford’s history through the purchase of a new microfilm scanner printer for the community archives at The Reach. Individuals, community organizations and businesses immediately leaped up to donate the $9,100 required for the ScanPro 1100. “They did this because they understand the value of making the vast library of information The Reach collections contain accessible to everyone,” said Kris Foulds, collections manager. To provide public access to this vast quantity of historical information requires a microfilm reader/printer, which is used for in-house research and accessed by the public. Unfortunately, this piece of equipment broke down and needed to be replaced with a more efficient and software compatible printer/scanner. The ScanPro 1100 is a newer compact model that is more efficient because it operates by connecting to a user computer and provides an image using the computer’s monitor in addition to superior technical features. The new equipment will guarantee the continuation of the vital work of digitizing and uploading historic images to The Reach online photo archives site, which has a database of 26,000 images. Donors got a first-hand view of the new, next to the old equipment, during a donor celebration at The Reach archives this week. To check out the ScanPro 1100 visit the archives at The Reach (32388 Veterans Way) or check historic images at www.thereach.ca.

Construction underway on 50-bed mental health facility
WHAT IS HYDRAFACIAL™?
Project will provide 20 assisted-living units
Lazure Clinique is pleased to offer the HydraFacial ™. This facial treatment gives patients the results they’ve always wanted – skin that’s glowing and most importantly, skin that’s healthy.

The HydraFacial™ is a soothing, moisturizing, non-invasive skincare treatment for anyone who is looking to improve and maintain the health of their skin. Proven effective for all skin types, this 30 minute treatment delivers instant results with no discomfort or downtime.
Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun speaks Friday at the groundbreaking of a new ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News 50-bed mental health facility. additional 20 assistedliving units. Licensed care beds are the highest level of care for mental health, which includes nursing support, medication, meals and more. The residents in the assisted living units have a more independent living situation, but are also provided with one meal a day. The site will be man-
aged and operated by the MPA Society, which has been operating mental health housing for 44 year and runs multiple facilities around the Lower Mainland. David MacIntyre, executive director of the society, said they are looking forward to providing mental health services in this area. “This project will pro-
vide meaningful and ongoing support for 50 people who are in recovery for mental illness.” The provincial government has arranged about $7.7 million in construction financing, while Fraser Health will provide $755,000 in equity and about $2.5 million annually in operating and support funding.
The HydraFacial™ combines cleaning, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration all while delivering antioxidants, Hyaluronic Acid, peptides and other essential nutrients. The HydraFacial™ serums specifically target your skin issues resulting in the reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, as well as an improvement in the appearance of oily or acne-prone skin. The HydraFacial™ has been a favourite pre-red carpet treatment for the stars!

A new 50-bed mental health facility for adults is under construction in Abbotsford and is expected to be complete in the summer of 2016. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Friday at the site at 33134 Marshall Road, near the Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Mayor Henry Braun told those in attendance that the project is important to the community for many reasons. He said it will provide people with mental health challenges with support and care and it “will be right in their own community, where they will be surrounded by their friends and family.” The development is intended to replace 30 licensed mental health beds from a facility that closed down in 2012. It will also include an

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Wednesday, May 27, 2015
Commitment to process Residents have raised some valid questions about a major development slated for McCallum Road and Hwy. 1. The proposed project would cover 130,000 sq. ft, more than half of which would be a Cabela’s outfitters store. At a public hearing on the project Monday night, an astute resident pointed out that the Cabela’s website indicates an Abbotsford store is “coming soon” (albeit noting that council approval is still required.) And on the website of a developer selling homes near the site is a statement that McCallum Junction will be opening in late 2015. As proposed, the entire development would involve about 80 per cent commercial and 20 per cent residential. That’s virtually a reverse of the building mix proportion outlined in the existing Official Community Plan (OCP). The city is also in the process of creating a new OCP, which ostensibly includes the concept of “walkable, livable” communities. City staff have noted this project may adversely impact that objective.
Public hearings are a key stage in the development process, during which residents have an opportunity to present supporting and opposing views. Upon consideration, councils can accept a proposal, reject it, or require changes. Abbotsford council has yet to give a final vote on this plan. There are many good reasons to proceed with the project as proposed – key among them the new jobs and economic growth brought by the businesses which would establish at the site. However, given the apparent advanced stages of anticipation by the anchor tenant and homebuilders, along with the major amendment required for the community plan, some people are asking if this is essentially a done deal. That perception casts a shadow on the purpose and credibility of public hearings, and council’s commitment to an updated OCP. The mayor and council would do well to address both concerns when announcing their decision on this project.
These ‘wild flowers’ are not so pretty! Mark
Rushton On the
Other Hand Pulling onto North Parallel Road Monday morning I noticed four young people decked out in rain suits, armed with weed-eaters, wading through a thicket of wild chervil. Parked opposite them was a Fraser Valley Regional District service truck, indicating their employer. What they were undertaking is a daunting task – attempting to control a noxious weed that has virtually taken over the freeway median and shoulders in this part of the Valley. Particularly hard hit is the section east of Whatcom Road. While the white flowers of this scourge may look “pretty” to passing motorists, the plant is rapidly taking over not only the median grasses, but adjacent farmland.
Commonly known as cow parsley, it is from the family of that little bit of green you often get served as a garnish on a restaurant meal. Except this stuff is not edible, nor does it grow in tiny little bunches like the herb we know so well. In fact, it is considered a very serious threat to forage and vegetable crops due to its invasiveness that, left unchecked, eventually chokes out its competition for growing space. The plant is native to Europe and the UK, and is thought to have arrived here as part of wildflower seed mixes. How it managed to infiltrate the Fraser Valley from Abbotsford to Chilliwack is anyone’s guess … perhaps a bride tossed her bouquet out the window en route to honeymoon quarters. In any event, I first noticed the odd flowering plant a few years ago; two years ago it really began to take off and now is endemic along the freeway corridor. It is also a survivor, resistant to all herbicides except one. Mowing and trimming with weed-eaters only appears to encourage its survival. However, those
two actions at least do, to some extent, curtail the flowering and seed-producing stages which curtails its spreading further. Soils tilled annually apparently resist its expansion, but fallow pastureland becomes ideal habitat.
It is considered a very serious threat to forage and vegetable crops due to its invasiveness... According to control suggestions from B.C.’s agriculture ministry, the best way to eradicate the plant is to pull it out of the ground – except that its taproot can extend six feet straight down. Unless those kids with the weed-eaters have herculean strength, that won’t happen. Once the plant flowers and produces seeds, it dies. Which is a good thing, except in that process its millions of seeds are borne on the wind or distributed by
birds, inundate surrounding lands. And the freeway, with the vortex created by the constant passing of large trucks, is an ideal medium for distribution. The fertile soils of the Fraser Valley, which so far is the only place in B.C. to be affected by this scourge, are ideal medium for its future propagation. Unfortunately, the only government efforts at eradication are on public land, with no attempt to my knowledge to enter private property. This should change. I recall when tansy ragwort was the noxious weed de jour, the regional district would note the plant in your field and suggest you eliminate it, or they would do it for you. Combined with a public education program, that worked, and the weed is now relatively rare. This needs to take place with wild chervil. What also needs to occur is judicious application of the herbicide dicamba. Otherwise, what we like to call the breadbasket of British Columbia may soon by irreparably damaged.

letters Reduce number of federal ridings, ministers Regarding the Electoral Boundaries Commissions proposed changes for Abbotsford: I submitted my response on May 25 to the Electoral Boundaries Commission, requesting that they not split Abbotsford up into five ridings, four of which are proposed to be shared with other municipalities. While on the site, I had a look at every one of the 29 submissions from others concerned about Abbotsford’s fate. And what an eye-opener it was. Not because everyone was opposed to the changes (they were), but because in actual fact, there are 70 submissions regarding the changing of Hope from a Chilliwack riding to an Interior riding. Hard to fathom, but I guess just not enough in Abbotsford care about this issue to spend three minutes to send in even a cursory objection.
Yet, I see people every day parked on the side of the road, texting something to someone. A bit sad, really. I did get a laugh though, when reading a submission from Abbotsford which said, “May I suggest that B.C. revert to the Ontario practice of same riding boundaries as federal electoral districts. This would reduce our allotment to 42, (and) lead to many efficiencies...” Apart from having an MLA for Abbotsford to Ashcroft and Alaska, I am sure the writer would also like to see federal Conservatives reduce from the bloated 39 ministers they have. It would be a great savings if they would follow the lead of the NDP in Alberta and have just 12. Good enough for Jesus and the NDP, should be good enough for the Harper government.

ACS presents Medium Rare
Make it happen
Production about a ‘comedic mishap’ Abbotsford Christian Secondary’s (ACS) theatre arts department presents “Medium Rare: A Comedic Mishap of Sold Homes and Lost Grandmas” starting May 29. Medium Rare is a play about a newlywed couple, Harry and Bunny Polk, who get more than they bargain for when they buy their first house. The fun begins at dinner when Harry and Bunny realize the house not only came furnished, but with a grandma as well. Grandma Nina, a particularly quirky character, decides it would be best for her to live in the house with Harry and Bunny while her granddaughter moves out. The humour continues as Nina holds a meeting of her Early Birds Club at six in the morning, entertains a crazy friend and almost gets Harry fired from his job.

The Yale Lions, Abbotsford Panthers and Robert Bateman Timberwolves all claimed podium positions at the provincial girls rugby championships this weekend in North Vancouver. The Abbotsford Panthers came up just short in their quest to retain the AA provincial championship crown, following 27-10 to topranked Brentwood College in the final. The Panthers entered the game having won three straight AA provincials, and the loss was only Abby’s second in four years. Co-coach Peter Cannon paid tribute to Brentwood College, whom he said earned their win. “Give them full credit for playing very, very well.� The Panthers entered the game hoping to retain possession and drive the ball downfield through the forwards. But while Abbotsford moved the ball to within five yards of the scoring area several times, the Brentwood

Fifth for Hadwin
Abbotsford’s Adam Hadwin notched his biggest payday since joining the PGA Tour with a fifth-place finish at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial on Sunday. A bogey-free final round saw Hadwin
finish the tournament at minus-10, two shots back of the lead. The strong showing saw Hadwin earn $220,350 and move up to 92nd in the FedEx Cup standings. Abbotsford’s Nick Taylor finished 27th at the event.

Bateman grabs silver From A19
With gold the goal for Yale, team manager Marisa Meola said the semifinal was a disappointment, with several controversial decisions and a late Yale drive deep into Carson Graham territory that failed to result in points. But the final saw redemption, with Kyla Knox, Mackenzie Carson, Anna Lowrey and Emily Pollastretti all scoring tries and Sapna Deo adding two converts and a penalty kick. Pollastretti was also named the Lions’ representative on the Presidents 15 slate of the tournament’s best players. Sydney Stoltz, Shalaya Valenzuela, Alex Motoc, Alice Ned and Sarah Klok also had big games for the Lions. “What stands for me is the quality of leadership that our senior girls
show,” head coach Larry Colby said. “They will be missed. The abundance of talent from our younger players gives us a very bright future ahead.” Meola added: “We are a big family both on and off the field. The girls work hard and we have all gotten to know each other well.” And the Robert Bateman Timberwolves grabbed a silver medal in the Tier 2 competition with a 22-10 victory over Clayton Heights. It was an emotional game for the senior players, whose club rugby teammate Chantal McLean died in a car crash in the fall. Kadeja White led the Wolves with nine tries in three games and their starting lineup featured seven Grade 9 players in their first year of senior rugby.

Teams play Wednesday From A21
The last five minutes of that game saw Bateman’s defenders shorthanded with a man on the sin bin. But despite West Vancouver’s size advantage, the Bateman’s players were able to resist a ferocious push towards the goal line as time wound down. “It was just a massive team effort all the way across the board,” said Bateman co-coach Dave Cameron. “We handled their fightback quite well.” Both teams move on to the quarterfinals, which will take place Wednesday at Rotary Stadium and Exhibition Park fields. Yale – who won their first senior boys Fraser Valley Championship earlier this month – will square off
with 11th-ranked Lord Tweedsmuir at Rotary. The Lions beat the Surrey school in Fraser Valley play earlier this year. Bateman, meanwhile, will take on second-ranked St. George’s, who beat Kelowna 76-12 on the first day of provincial play. Bateman claimed last year’s Fraser Valley Championship, but has a younger team for 2015 and will be significant underdogs against the powerhouse Vancouver side. “We’re in a game that nobody expects us to win,” Cameron said. “We’re going to put in our best effort.” Opening ceremonies take place at 12:15 at Rotary Stadium with Bateman and Yale both playing at 3:30 p.m.

Million Dollar Hole in One adds ladies’ final
D. Seymour, The Reach
Thank you Heritage Heroes
With Rotary Million Dollar Hole in One fast approaching, organizers have announced that it is adding a ladies’ final to the event. Qualifying rounds for the event run from May 30 through June 7 at Fraserglen Golf Course, with finals running June 8. There are 95 yards between the tee and the pin during the first eight days, but for the final round, the hole is 165 yards away. There are junior, ladies and Rotary qualifying days, and more than $25,000 in prizes will be awarded to the 12 qualifiers per day. This year, organizers have added a ladies’ final round, with up to 25 women qualifying. From those, the top three will have the chance
to shoot from 135 yards for $100,000, and the best of those will move on to the final shootout, where a hole-in-one will net the golfer $1 million. The majority of proceeds raised this year will benefit Abbotsford Hospice Society’s Holmberg House. “This year marks a milestone for the Rotary Club of Abbotsford,” says president Hugh Ellis. “With over one half million raised already, we are thankful to our sponsors and supporters who join us in meeting our goals.” Ladies Day is June 3, and Juniors Day is June 6.

Local musician Brennan Sinclair will charm SippChai Café (11-31205 Maclure Rd.) with his emotive and intimate vocals on May 30 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. “It’s amazing how much energy can come from a guitar and a voice,” Sinclair says of his craft. Since he picked up the acoustic guitar at age 14, Sinclair’s journey through music has been influenced by a variety of genres, from classical to classic rock. By age 18, he had begun performing original compositions at coffee shops, talent contests, and other Fraser Valley events. For more information about the Envision Financial Coffee House Concert Series, including the full concert schedule, visit the Abbotsford Arts Council’s website at abbotsfordartscouncil.org.

BAKER, Margaret Crystal Margaret Baker (nee Ruud) passed away peacefully on May 19, 2015 in Abbotsford after a brief stay in the hospital. She was born on May 24, 1917 in Penticton, BC and was predeceased by her husband Herman, her sisters Evelyn, Jeanette, and brother Maurice. Margaret was a loving wife, sister, aunt, great-aunt, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Margaret grew up in the Okanagan Valley and later moved to Chilliwack, West Vancouver and Abbotsford. She was a talented artist and an independent businesswoman who owned a hat shop, ceramics studio, and together with her husband Herm operated a bed and breakfast from their home in Abbotsford. Margaret shared her birthday with the Queen and in true regal fashion she liked to do things her way. She was always interested in politics, kept track of world events and enjoyed many discussions of the state of affairs, joking about what could be done if she were in charge. Margaret said that when the time came, she wanted to be here today and gone tomorrow. She was an amazing person with a great sense of humour and we were so lucky to have her in our lives. Margaret was an inspiration to many and she was forever young. It is hard to imagine our lives without her but she would like us all to remember the sign above her bed…Keep Calm and Carry On. Her family would like to thank dear friend Mary Enns for the excellent care she gave Margaret during the past few years. At Margaret’s request there will be no service.
