Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Police are seeking help from the public in identifying the driver of a vehicle they seized last week in connection to a fatal hit-andrun in January. Const. Ian MacDonald said the vehicle – a grey 2013 Ford Expedition – was discovered last Wednesday (June 10) on a property in the 28600 block of Huntingdon Road. He said police have identified a “person of interest” connected to the Expedition but have not yet been able to arrest anyone or determine whether that person was driving the vehicle at the time of the collision. MacDonald also would not say whether that person is the registered owner of the SUV. The vehicle was found with significant damage to its front end and was taken by police. Const. Ian MacDonald did not reveal what led investigators to the SUV and to the Huntingdon Road property but said it is “definitely” the one involved in the collision that killed 61-year-old Ronald James Scott just after 11 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 29 in the 2000 block of Mt. Lehman Road. Scott had been riding his bicycle southbound at the time and was struck by a vehicle going in the same direction. The driver fled the scene. MacDonald said police deployed Continued on A4

If you have any questions, please contact Planning Services Staff at 604-864-5510. ABBOTSFORD ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW BYLAW NO. 2440-2015 SUBJECT LANDS:

Portions of 2160 and 2280 Mt. Lehman Road

CURRENT ZONING:

Agriculture One Zone (A1)

PROPOSED ZONING: General Industrial Zone (I2) PURPOSE:

If Bylaw No. 2412-2015 is adopted, the lands will be rezoned to I2 to allow for a future industrial subdivision.

ABBOTSFORD ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW BYLAW NO. 2430-2015

SUBJECT LANDS:

CURRENT ZONING:

Two properties in the 30600 block of Marshall Road (Partial legal descriptions: P.I.D.: 028-709-551 Lot A of NWD Plan BCP49449 and P.I.D.: 003-984-788 Parcel “C” of NWD Plan 7508)

58 properties along Eagle Peak Drive, Aquila Drive and Eagle View Place (Partial legal descriptions: Lots 1 through 57 of NWD Plan BCP39983)

CURRENT ZONING:

Abbotsford International Airport Fee Amendment Notice of amendment to Bylaw 1297-2003 Effective September 13, 2015 the Airport Improvement Fee (AIF) will be eliminated for all International flights and for travel within British Columbia and the Yukon Territories.

If Bylaw No. 2431-2015 is adopted, Land Use Contract No. 269 will be discharged from the Certificate of Title of the subject land and the Neighbourhood Commercial Zone (C2) (from Abbotsford Zoning Bylaw No. 2400-2014) would be applied to the subject land to allow for a broader range of commercial uses to be explored for the site.

Small Curbside Collection Containers

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

Agriculture One Zone (A1)

If Bylaw No. 2440-2015 is adopted, a new Comprehensive Development Fifty Two Zone (N52) would be created. The new N52 Zone would permit Industrial Uses with limited Commercial Uses. The subject lands would be rezoned from A1 to N52 and I2. The applicant proposes a two-lot subdivision for future industrial uses.

PURPOSE:

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.

PROPOSED ZONING: Comprehensive Development Fifty Two Zone (N52) and General Industrial Zone (I2) PURPOSE:

SUBJECT LAND: 2618 McMillan Road

PURPOSE:

If Bylaw No. 2430-2015 is adopted, a new Comprehensive Development Fifty One Zone (N51) would be created. The new N51 Zone would permit single family residences to be sited in accordance with the registered building envelopes on title.

• are 80 litres or smaller; • have graspable handles (two graspable handles are required for containers greater than 50 litres); • have a secure lid; • are less than 23 kg (50 lb.) after waste is placed in container; and • are between 56 and 76 cm tall (22 - 30 inches). 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.

Bevan Avenue Wells Environmental Certificate Amendment Application Information Meetings In October 2010, the City of Abbotsford submitted an application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate for the Bevan Avenue Wells Groundwater Supply Development Project in response to increasing summer water use demand in the City of Abbotsford and the District of Mission. The Project was submitted in accordance with the requirements and guidance of the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (EAO), and as required under the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act S.B.C. 2002 (BC EAA) and the federal Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). A Project Certificate was awarded on May 10, 2011 (certificate number: W11-01). This certificate allows for the operation of the Bevan Wells under prescribed conditions and expires on December 31, 2015. An amendment to the certificate is required to permit use of the Bevan Wells past the end of 2015. The City on behalf of the Abbotsford Mission Water & Sewer Commission is applying for an amendment to operate the wells indefinitely to manage peak summer water demands and for emergencies. The operating dates would remain the same from May 1 to September 30. The City invites all stakeholders and interested parties to discuss the amendment application. Two multi-stakeholder consultations will be held in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium Foyer, at 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC on the following dates and times: June 24 6:00-8:00 pm June 25 6:00-8:00 pm Registration is requested.

MLA’s son charged with dangerous driving Ryan Plecas – the son of Abbotsford-South MLA Darryl Plecas – has been charged with dangerous driving in connection with an incident in Abbotsford on Dec. 21, the Ministry of Justice announced

on Thursday. Another man, Cody Green, has been charged with one count of mischief. Both charges were approved by a special prosecutor appointed by the Ministry of Justice’s criminal justice branch. The

ministry said lawyer Marty Stern was appointed as special prosecutor on June 12 after Abbotsford Police delivered an investigative report. Because Ryan Plecas’ father is a provincial politician, the

ministry’s assistant deputy attorney general decided a special prosecutor “should be appointed to avoid any real or perceived improper influence in the the exercise of prosecutorial discretion.”

He said a person connected to the Expedition has declined to provide a statement to police. “In Canada, you can’t force someone to come forward (to police),” he said. Sources have confirmed the “person of interest” is Kerry James Froese, 37, the owner of the property where the vehicle was found by police. He is a chicken grower.

A DIFFERENT SHOW

In 2011, Froese pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention in the 2008 death of Trevor Dueck, 18, and was given a six-month driving prohibition. The News reported at the time that Dueck had been riding his dirt bike south on the grassy shoulder of the 1000 block of Gladwin Road, when he slammed into the passenger side of Froese’s 2006 Ford F-350. Froese had been turning into a driveway at the time. The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) hopes that by releasing the photo of the vehicle involved in the January

It is also possible that someone might have observed the vehicle after the crash or has some information about it,” MacDonald said. Anyone with information is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Congestion not improving at ARH Hospital among several performing below targets Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Regional Hospital (ARH) continues to struggle to meet benchmark performance indicators, according to Fraser Health’s latest report card. Last December, a region-wide Fraser Health report card declared that “emergency departments are becoming increasingly overcrowded due to increasing patient volumes, and recent results at the site level show that most hospitals are still performing below the set targets.” The situation has only grown worse since then, and in April less than one-third of patients – 32.8 per cent – at ARH were admitted to hospital within 10 hours. That number is down from 37 per cent cited last December, a rate that still fell well short of the Fraser Health target of 55 per cent. Across the region, that number has also declined, from 39.1 to 36.6 per cent. And once they are admitted, more people are waiting to get a bed. Across the region, 222 patients had to wait for a bed.

File photo

Abbotsford Regional Hospital has the second-highest total in the region for patients waiting for a bed. That’s short of the target of 165 waiting patients and an increase over last year. Many of those patients are waiting at ARH, which recorded the second-highest total in the region, with 43 patients waiting for a bed. When asked about the emergency room congestion in January, ARH executive director Shallen Letwin told The News, “There is obviously an

improvement we’re looking at to try and advance [patients’] journeys a lot sooner.” Letwin said at the time that limits on the number of beds at each hospital mean staff had to work to reduce the length of patient stays in order to meet demand. He also noted that admission times differ from the time it takes to see a physician, which usually occurs an hour or two after a patient enters the

emergency room. In response to the latest report card, Fraser Health released a statement citing new funding and urging patience. “We are working to reduce hospital congestion by investing in primary and community care, but it is going to take time for this work to show up in the report card indicators,” the statement read. The authority cited a recent $5-million plan to increase health care supports in the community, prevent avoidable admissions and help patients return home more quickly. While it struggles to meet its capacity for care targets, ARH did post solid scores for quality and safety – with one exception. In April, the hospital recorded a “facility-associated” incidence of C.diff infection of 9.5 cases per 10,000 patient days, well in excess of the target of 6 and the second-highest in the region, behind Chilliwack General Hospital. Prior to April, the rate of C.diff at ARH had been better than the target, although it had been slowly inching up in recent months.

Cabela’s gets OK Excellent! This will be a destination store for outdoor enthusiasts across the Fraser Valley. Jay Mitchell Just what Abbotsford needs more big box, part-time, minimum wage jobs. It is truly shameful that council approved this and is letting them build another car centred mall. There should have been a requirement to have residential above all the stores.

Abbotsford News Friday, June 19, 2015

Should city endorse what some consider immoral? On Monday, Abbotsford city council voted to fly the “Fraser Valley Pride” flag at city hall for a week during July. The council was responding to the following request: “As part of the Fraser Valley Pride Celebration, we would like to request that the pride flag be raised alongside the other flags at city hall

for the week of July 1320. Also we would like to request that the Ware Street crosswalk be repainted using the pride flag colours prior to July 13 and be a permanent symbol of pride, diversity and inclusivness in the city.” In general, pride groups have as their main distinctive their particular views on sex, and their sexual practic-

es. They tend to believe that “anything goes” between consenting individuals. Such views and practices are typically opposed by Biblebelieving Christians, as well as by others in our community. So the question is: Should our city council be offering official support to views or practices that many in our community regard as

Decision a ‘strange phenomenon’ Are Supreme Court Judges stepping over their Judicial limitations? Never before in the history of Canada has any Supreme Court judge been able to declare any drug safe for medicinal purposes without the formal authorization to market or distribute a medicine without a notice of compliance issued by Health Canada. The recent approval by The Supreme Court of the marihuana

drug sales without the approval of Health Canada is a strange phenomenon indeed. It strikes me more like a democratic dictatorship then anything else. Is there anyone who holds these Judges accountable? How? One can only wonder, just who runs the country? The government or the Supreme Court judges? Gertie Pool, Abbotsford

sexual immorality? There is no doubt that the views and practices of pride groups are fully legal. The federal government decriminalized a variety of sexual behaviours some decades ago. But does the fact that sexually immoral behaviours are legal make them worthy of celebrating? “Celebration” is what

this is about. Flagraising signifies affirmation, approval and endorsement, and the wording of the request itself specifies celebration. But should our city leaders be sending a message to the youth of Abbotsford that sexual immorality is worthy to be affirmed, approved, endorsed, and celebrated?

Abbotsford city council passed their motion to raise the “pride flag” with a minimum of hasty discussion, and with no debate at all. There was no apparent acknowledgment of the controversial, divisive nature of this matter. The comment was made that the city does not currently have a policy on flag-raising.

But why should that omission automatically mean that any and every flag-raising proposal has to be honoured? If you agree that the Abbotsford council has made an error in judgment, phone or email the mayor and councillors. Richard Peachey Abbotsford

Make Your Own Rubs Rubs don’t have to be “rubbed” onto meat. A simply dredging or sprinkling will do just fine, but that being said, any rubbing will help the spices to penetrate the meat better in most cases. I never purchase pre-made spice mixes from the store. I always get greater satisfac-

tion from making my own and having them stored in labeled Mason jars. Today I would like to share some of my favorite recipes with you because barbecue season is well under way. Take the time to start

stocking miscellaneous individual dried spices and herbs like the ingredients mentioned in the recipes below, and start trying different combinations yourself. Smoked paprika comes in both sweet and

hot varieties and it is far superior to just regular paprika. I prefer the sweet (mild) variety because I would rather control the amount of spiciness with ground cayenne pepper instead. Enjoy!

were stayed. His sentence also includes a 10-year ban on owning or possessing any firearms. Foster was the subject of a CFSEU press release on Nov. 4, 2013 asking for the public’s help in trying to locate him. At the time, police said he was an associate of the Independent Soldiers gang and had a “significant violent criminal history” involving offences in which he was alleged to have used loaded guns. Foster had been on the lam for several months and was wanted on offences occurring mainly in Kamloops and Surrey. He was arrested in Abbotsford on Nov. 12, 2013 after a citizen reported a suspicious man walking in a rural area in the western part of the city. Police went to the area and found the man, who provided a false name but was soon determined to be Foster. At the time of his arrest, police said he had 37 prior convictions.

New pipeline may cost cities millions Report cites municipal infrastructure expenses

Dan FERGUSON Black Press

The expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline will mean over $93 million in extra costs for taxpayers in Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Abbotsford and Burnaby, according to a report filed with the National Energy Board (NEB) late last month. The study by Associated Engineering, now posted on the NEB website, was funded by the five municipalities. Projected over 50 years, the report concludes the added cost of building municipal infrastructure around the new pipeline “exceeds $93,000,000.” Coquitlam would bear the biggest expense, $28.5 million, followed by Burnaby with $17.6 million, Surrey with $17.1 million, Abbotsford at $17 million and the Township of Langley would have the smallest added expense at $12.8 million. That reflects the extra cost of installing new and replacement “buried utilities” like water pipes, sanitary and storm sewers as well as roads, ditches and creeks in areas where the pipeline is located. National Energy Board regulations for working around petroleum pipelines require the communities through which the pipeline passes to follow strict rules when they carry out day-to-day maintenance tasks and construction projects. That often means “altering methods of design and construction to accommodate the pipeline,” a memo in the report states. “The communities affected by the existing pipeline have been responsible for the additional costs associated with these activities since original construction, and

are concerned with the additional financial strain that may be included with the addition of a second pipeline,” the memo adds. The report says while Trans Mountain pipeline owner Kinder Morgan has acknowledged there will be disruption during construction of the new pipeline, “there has not yet been acknowledgement of additional costs incurred by each municipality to operate, maintain and construct municipal infrastructure [after the line is built].” The report says because Kinder Morgan installs its pipe at shallow depths, this “forces municipalities to install their utilities under the pipelines to meet KM vertical clearance requirements, requiring additional effort and cost for trenching, shoring, corrosion protection, site footprint, finishing and dewatering.” It also means the pipeline might have to be buried deeper, at the expense of the municipality, when a road next to it needs widening, the report says. It suggests the added costs to municipal taxpayers could be trimmed through a number of measures, including burying the pipeline deeper and more consultation with municipal engineers. Peter Watson, chairman of the National Energy Board, said there will be more face-to-face consultation with representatives of local communities along the pipeline route in the future. “This is just the beginning [of the process],” Watson said. He said the NEB has heard from 400 intervenors about the Trans Mountain expansion, making it “the largest hearing we’ve conducted in our history.”

Decibels limits may be added to noise bylaw Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

The city will consider incorporating maximum decibel levels into its noise regulation bylaw after the issue came to council on Monday. In Feburary, council requested staff bring forward a report on potential changes to the bylaw after a resident explained how people in his neighbourhood were kept awake by the industrial hum from businesses at Enterprise Avenue and McCallum Road. The resident questioned why other communities like Langley and Richmond have maximum decibel limits in their bylaws, but Abbotsford doesn’t. The report was brought to council on Monday, noting that the current regulations haven’t been amended since 2008, and noise

issues are becoming more frequent. Staff found many communities in the Lower Mainland incorporate decibel levels into their rules. Abbotsford’s current regulations are based on “subjective standards” which cause problems for enforcement, particularly with residents near commercial operations, states the report. It notes that most jurisdictions take a “balanced viewpoint” by considering interests of residents and businesses in close proximity. The report adds that setting maximum decibels can establish acceptable levels of noise and provide more clarity for the public on what constitutes excessive noise. Staff will now review the existing bylaw, as well as look at the city to see where potential

noise conflict boundaries could occur and ensure the regulations are aligned with the official community plan to establish noise, quiet, intermediate and activity zones. There will be a pub-

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-

FAMILY MEMBERS CAN CLAIM FOR WRONGFUL DEATH

When Jackie, a 31-year-old single mother, was killed instantly in a rear-end collision, she left behind a five-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy. What money was paid for her children to be looked after? If your spouse, parent or child dies as a result of the fault of another, BC’s Family Compensation Act allows you to claim compensation for the financial loss arising from that person’s death. The aim is to put you in the same economic position you would have been in if the person hadn’t died an untimely death.

compensation amount. In Jackie’s case, the possibility she would have become a CGA boosted her future earning power. But if you’re a surviving spouse, you might remarry and your financial loss eased, so your compensation may be reduced. Evidence typically has to be shown about the prospects of remarriage (e.g., that you’re in a new stable relationship and statistics about the possibilities of remarriage). The Act also allows for compensation for the loss of housekeeping and/or “handyman” services that the deceased had provided. Jackie’s daughter received $48,000 for loss of housekeeping and childcare services; her son got $41,000.

Mayor preaches patience as arena remains empty

Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

With the hockey season nearing its end and no prospect of a new tenant for the Abbotsford Centre next year, Mayor Henry Braun continues to preach public patience. Braun said the city has been reminding those involved “in various sports” that Abbotsford has a facility ready to welcome new tenants, but no deal is pending with two of the mosttalked-about suitors – the American Hockey League (AHL) and Western Hockey League (WHL). Last week, WHL commissioner Ron Robison told Cranbrook’s Daily Townsmen that the Kootenay Ice needed more community support over the next hockey season or else the league might have to move the franchise. The Ice play in an 4,264-seat arena, but averaged only 2,239 fans during the 2014-15 season, despite icing a competitive team that made the playoffs. Braun said city manager George Murray met Robison last spring after the departure of the AHL’s Heat was an-

nounced. And last May, the WHL also conducted a survey at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre, although the league said at the time that was only part of a larger initiative gauging fans’ awareness of junior hockey. “The league certainly knows that we’re here,” Braun said of WHL speculation. But he said “We haven’t been approached directly by the WHL or any franchise.” In January, the AHL announced a major westward shift, with five NHL franchises relocating their AHL operations to cities in California. Among those teams moving was the Calgary Flames’ affiliate. After moving from Abbotsford to Glen Falls, N.Y., the franchise will relocate once again to Stockton, Calif., and be called the Stockton Heat. Abbotsford has been regularly suggested as a potential location for the Vancouver Canucks’ minor-league affiliate, but the lack of AHL teams in the region has been one of several obstacles. Braun said while the city had previously held discussions with the Canucks prior to moving

its AHL team to Utica, N.Y., there haven’t been any recent indications the franchise is looking to move its farm team again. “Given their current commitment to Utica, we haven’t had any recent conversations, but like the WHL they know we’re here,” he said. “We’re watching the emergence of the Pacific Division of the AHL, and we’ll continue to watch it and all of the other things we believe are viable fits for the Abbotsford Centre. Where that will take us, I don’t know.” He wouldn’t divulge what other sports could FILE PHOTO Mayor Henry Braun continues to preach patience to the public as no prospect of a new tenant provide possible tenants because he said doing for the Abbotsford Centre seems to be on the horizon. so might make it easy to deduce the suitors

involved. Braun said he regularly hears speculation about the building and potential tenants, but the city continues to work towards the right fit. He said there “might not be a third chance” if the next tenant fails. “Everybody knows that we have a centre that doesn’t have a major tenant, so I can appreciate how people start speculating,” he said. “We’re looking for the right fit, the right deal at the right time.” The Abbotsford Centre lost $1.7 million in 2014, but Braun said management seems to have “fixed” the entertainment side of the project, with fewer acts losing money.

Cycling accident has mayor pondering bicycle lanes Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

Bike to Work Week is meant to encourage more people to commute by bicycle, but participating left Mayor Henry Braun with cuts and bruises – and a new appreciation for cyclists. While taking part in the week, which ran May 25 to 29, Braun was in an accident while biking home. As he rode away from city hall, on a street with a lot of traffic, Braun said he sensed a vehicle getting too close behind him. “I thought ‘boy, I need to move closer to the sidewalk, because I think this guy is going to hit me’.” He felt he had to go onto the sidewalk or be hit, but when he tried to go up the curb, he was sent crashing into the sidewalk. Braun said part of the incident was his fault, as he had moved closer to the

curb, thinking it chain came off, he would leave room for said. “I was in 10th gear; the driver to pass. In retrospect, he I wasn’t going slowly.” Now that he’s alshould have moved further into the lane, most healed, Braun “because people say said he’s taken the inyou have to own the cident as a learning lane and make the experience. “I learned a lot about drivers go around. “I never really un- what people who bicyderstood that until cle encounter,” citing broken glass, pebbles this happened.” and grates as Braun, who some of the was weardangers cying a helmet, clists come said he “got across. a pretty good He said whack on the he learned head,” and why cyclists was bleedchoose to ing from his drive into head and his the middle of hand, along BRAUN the lane – it’s with some for their own bruises. “I was not a big fan safety. “I will never again of helmets on bicycles either – I am now con- get so close to the curb and try to be verted.” He said he wasn’t courteous to the car sure if the driver of … I’m going to own the car knew what the lane.” It’s also something happened, but a vehicle in next lane he’s thinking about stopped to see if he at a city level, saying he has talked to the was okay.

the city’s bicycle lanes and their connectivity, “because if we really want to encourage people to cycle,

we are going to have to connect the dots.” He was also amazed at how many people are actually cycling,

adding some city employees bike every day. Braun added that he still plans to try and

bike to work about twice a week. “I have a new appreciation … for cyclists.”

Relaxed rules hoped to help farmers branch out Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Breweries, distilleries and meaderies will be allowed to open up on farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve provided they meet the same rules set out for wineries. That’s one of a series of reforms announced by the province Monday that aim to make it easier for farmers to set up agricultural processing plants and otherwise earn more money from their land. As with wineries in the ALR, at least half the farm ingredients that go into the beer, spirits or mead must be grown on the farm. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick noted hops farming is on an upswing in areas such as Chilliwack and Kamloops, and predicts the rule change will create an incentive for more farmers to take a risk and get into

beverage production. “If that means you can enjoy some mead or some beer on a piece of farmland and that’s what it takes to get that farmland back into production, I’m okay with that,” Letnick said in an interview at an herb farm in Surrey. ALR land can also now be leased for farming without applying to the Agricultural Land Commission – a move the province hopes gets more unused land into production. Another rule change will make value-added processing easier by letting farms band together as co-ops and count all their members’ crops toward meeting the same 50 per cent local content rule. That’s expected to allow clusters of farms to feed into a plant in the ALR that makes something like juice or jam without seeking ALC approval. Metro Vancouver previously

registered concern that looser rules for non-farm uses may result in less land being farmed and a further climb in farmland prices beyond what new farmers can afford. “Some people wanted us to do more, some wanted us to do less,” Letnick said. “I firmly that believe we’ve come up with the right balance that promotes agriculture and safeguards agriculture but also provide for more opportunities for farmers to earn income on their land.” Winery restaurants in the ALR will now be allowed to serve alcohol they didn’t produce, such as beer. Some reforms apply only on farmland outside the Lower Mainland, Letnick said, because he said farmers face a tougher struggle to earn a living in areas such as the Interior, North and Kootenays.

Exhibit’s theme all about ‘home’

of the Fraser Valley

www.mentoringworks.ca.

Runs June 22 to July 9 at MCC BC Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) BC is hosting an art exhibition that explores the theme of “home.” An opening reception for the exhibition takes place Monday, June 22 at 7 p.m. in the MCC Centre atrium at 33933 Gladys Ave. Coffee and desserts will be available by donation. A talk will be presented by Linda Klippenstein, who launched the project with a vision to bring together unlikely groups of women through art. In collaboration with Heather Beckett, Darlene Wurster, Dale Klippenstein and Janet Weston, the collection was created by a group of women from the Warm Zone and a group of women from

the University Women’s Club. The Warm Zone is a service that supports street-entrenched women in Abbotsford. The University Women’s Club promotes education, rights and opportunities for women. The exhibit features several pieces that connect to the theme of “home” and includes a large chandelier made of keys, a tapestry woven by the women, photographs, and a couch on which people will be invited to write what home means to them. The project was first launched on International Women’s Day (March 8) at The Reach Gallery Museum. The exhibit at MCC runs until July 18. For more information, call 604-850-6639.

The union representing more than 1,000 federal corrections officers in the Fraser Valley is urging voters in the new riding of Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon not to support the Conservatives in the upcoming federal election. Gord Robertson, the president of the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers (UCCO), said he expected between 90 and 100 members would be going door-to-door Tuesday afternoon in Mission and Agassiz, spreading the union’s message. Although the number of guards has remained steady in recent years, Robertson said budget cuts to the Correctional Service of Canada have made officers’ jobs more dangerous by reducing programs, stiffening sentences, and increasing the number of prisoners in federal institutions. Robertson said Conservatives policies that have increased Canada’s prison population give offenders less hope of returning to society and increase

the likelihood they’ll misbehave while incarcerated. The Fraser Valley is home to seven federal institutions that house around 2,000 prisoners and employ about 1,200 guards. They include Kent and Mountain Institutions in Agassiz; Matsqui Institution, Fraser Valley Institution for Women, and Pacific Institution and Regional Treatment Centre in Abbotsford; Kwìkwèxwelhp Healing Village on Chehalis First Nation Land near Harrison Mills; and Mission Institution. While members are asking voters not to support the Conservatives, Robertson said they “aren’t telling people how to vote. “We’re educating our members and the public, too,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what government’s in power, we’ll continue to do our job. It’s just that we are concerned that some of the changes are making it more dangerous for us to do our job.” The Conservative candidate in the new riding, Liv Grewal, did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

New policy agenda set at 2015 Chamber AGM Conference The BC Chamber Annual General Meeting and Conference held in Prince George May 24 to 26 saw business leaders from across the province meet to set new policy agendas. Among those in attendance were Abbotsford Chamber president Josh Bach, vicepresident Kenda Allen, board member Mark Dana and executive director Allan Asaph. The BC Chamber of Commerce is asking the province for a more transparent approach to taxation in B.C., innovation in regional solid waste management, and community and local government policies on re-balancing municipalities

and regional districts, and for a provincial role in municipal restructuring, among others. “Tax burdens have been shifting away from a reliance on personal and corporate tax through a move by government to increased fees and more regressive consumption taxes. Businesses and individuals in B.C. are hit with a complex and confusing barrage of taxes, fees, offsets and credits which prevents a clear understanding of the true overall tax burden and erodes public trust. We are asking the provincial government to develop a full and comprehensive means of measuring the overall corporate and individual tax burden on a provincial and

municipal basis. If the overall tax burden was understood, the effectiveness of changes to tax measures and programs could be measured by changes in the overall tax burden,” Asaph said.

border crossings. The federal government is also launching a major three-year campaign to increase U.S. tourism, providing an added incentive for increased visitor spending in Canada.

This year, delegates debated and voted on nearly 50 proposed policies. Those approved included: changes to the property purchase tax to make housing more affordable; promoting innovation in regional solid waste management; and a more transparent approach to taxation in B.C.

“The tourism industry needs the assurance of secured levels of funding to ensure effective long-term planning and to remain competitive. The provincial government needs to follow through on its commitment to the growth and continued strength of tourism in the province.”

“The federal government has clearly stated that it has no plans to create an exemption for day trips to the U.S. under 24 hours as it would disadvantage retailers in border communities and elsewhere in Canada,” says Asaph. “The reality is that Canadian Border Services officers use a criteria that allows them to routinely wave through day travellers without the collection of taxes owing. We have asked the federal government to provide sufficient resources to

Policies brought forward by the Abbotsford Chamber that were adopted by the B.C. Chamber included: a new

The Chamber is proposing a three-year pilot project to rebate the five per cent GST to travelers returning with goods to the U.S. through land

enable consistent collection of taxes and duties at all border crossings.” Overall, Asaph says it was a successful AGM for the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, as all three of their proposed resolutions were approved. “Since two of our resolutions involve federal legislation, we will be presenting them at the policy sessions of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce AGM in Ottawa in October,” he says. “Going forward, we will be looking at all the approved resolutions to ensure that we focus our advocacy efforts on those issues of most importance to our local members.”

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE In an earlier article, I wrote about the Chamber’s mission of representing our members through our key strategic objectives - Advocate, Benefit, and Connect. One way we Connect our members with each other and with our local businesses is through our annual Agriculture Bus Tour. It’s always a great event, and I encourage you join us on this tour.

Joshua Bach

DIRECTOR

abbotsfordchamber.com

As you know, the Agricultural Industry is very important to our economy in Abbotsford. Did you know that this industry creates over $1.8 billion (35%) of our local GDP, and generates over 11,300 jobs? Wow! This year’s tour is profiling four of our local and innovative agricultural operations: Rockweld Farm Ltd., Lepp Farm Market, Singletree Winery and Onnink’s Blueberry Farm. The Agriculture Committee of the Abbotsford Chamber works hard to represent the interests of the Agricultural Industry in our community. One recent example is our work on the draft Audible Bird Scare Device bylaw. Abbotsford City Council has now passed a bylaw addressing that issue.

Our Board work for the summer is ongoing. We are fine-tuning our Committees (hopefully concluding it this month), and then we can get them up and running. We are starting a new Policy Committee this year, and we will be looking for people to join it. In fact, we encourage our members to come to our various Committee meetings. Did you know that our members are welcome at all our Committee meetings? It’s true.

please send them to our Executive Director, at allan@abbotsfordchamber.com, with the subject line of “Rethinking Events”. Allan will then forward them on to me. As our Board and Committee work slows now for a couple of months, I wish you all another beautiful BC summer.

Your involvement with our Chamber and our various Committees will ensure that we understand the local business issues affecting each of us. This will allow us to better advocate on behalf of our business sector. One of the things your Board would like to see this year is a review of the type of events that our Chamber hosts each year. This can lead to a re-thinking whether there is a better way to present speakers, and to make connections for our members. If you have some ideas in this regard, I’d ask that you

The first automobiles appeared on Abbotsford Roads c. 1910. Local laws demanded that if a horse and buggy approached, the car must pull over and the engine be turned off. This was so not to scare the horses and make them rear up. By 1922, all parts of BC switched over to right-hand side traffic, confusing both drivers and horses!

2015 Amateur photographer of the year contest is underway With summer-like weather providing great photo opportunities, there’s no better time to put your skills to use and submit your best shots to a contest being presented by London Drugs, Black Press and the Abbotsford International Airshow. More than 1100 entries have already been entered for the third annual “Your Best Shot” contest for amateur photographers around B.C.

Contestants can submit up to five of their favourite photos for a chance to win some spectacular prizes.

The contest is now open and runs until July 3. All photos will be judged by a panel of experts on subject, composition, impact and other criteria. Finalists will receive full VIP access to the Abbotsford International Airshow, which runs Aug. 7 to 9, with preferred viewing to take photos of all the action. They will also compete for more than $1,500 in prizes and the chance to be named the Next Generation Amateur Photographer of the Year. Last year, Black Press received more than 2,000 entries for the Your Best Shot contest from amateur photographers from the Fraser Valley, Kelowna, Vancouver and communities around B.C. More than 70 finalists gathered at the Abbotsford International Airshow, submitting their best photos for

Summer has a cool, funky, laid-back vibe that, in fashion, is best reflected in flowy looks and light fabrics that are just right for the weekend but can be dressed up for the office or other occasions.

Geometrics prints are also on trend in vibrant combinations or in the more classic pairing of black and white.

Fabrics such as cotton, linen and silk are great choices for hot-weather days in prints that can be fun, romantic or both.

For a bolder look, select a pair of striped socks to pair with your boyfriend jeans, or keep the colours neutral and go for a lightly layered look that can make the transition from spring into summer.

How to dye your hair unnatural colours and make it last! There are lots of questions about dying hair unnatural colours. You’ll want to know what products to use and how to maintain the colour and keep it bright. If you follow these few simple tips, you’ll be on your way to the rainbow tresses of your dreams!

AVOID HEAT Whenever possible, let your hair dry naturally and avoid using flat irons. Heat strips colour faster than anything else and is like kryptonite to delicate bleached hair.

DYE IT REGULARLY GET BLEACHED BY A PROFESSIONAL Healthy hair is vital for long lasting colour. If your hair is damaged, the colour won’t hold. Unless you are blessed with naturally white blonde hair you will need to have your hair stripped by a professional. Without a light base, the colour will look muddy and will wash out quickly. Everyone’s hair is different, so speak to your colourist. Ask for advice about how light you can realistically strip your hair without damaging it too much.

If you’ve followed all the previous steps, you shouldn’t need to re-dye your hair more than every 3 or 4 weeks. Between appointments you can mix your colour with conditioner to keep it fresh. This works best on the more intense colours.

RINSE WITH COLD WATER Hot water strips colour by opening up the hair cuticle, allowing the colour to escape. During your final rinse, turn the temperature of the shower as down as low as you can bear for a minute. Doing

this closes the cuticles, locks in colour and makes your hair extra shiny!

EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT BRANDS Not all dyes will work on everyone’s hair, so if you don’t have luck the first try, all is not lost! For a softer look, try mixing colour with conditioner. Another trick for longer lasting colour is to leave the dye on for longer than recommended, often closer to an hour rather than the suggested 15-20 minutes. Leaving it on longer will makes the colour brighter and darker, but it then takes longer to fade, which is an added bonus. All unnaturally coloured hair dyes (blue, pink, purple, green etc.) are semi-permanent, so your hair will fade no matter what you do. Fading is inevitable, but you should avoid getting your hair wet as much as possible.

Sunscreen facts for healthy skin

THE ABBOTSFORD ARTS COUNCIL PRESENTS

THE ENVISION FINANCIAL

COFFEE HOUSE CONCERT SERIES

Be smart about sun exposure. Too much unprotected exposure to the sun can cause a host of problems, from premature wrinkling to skin cancer.

in spray sunscreens could be harmful if inhaled. Opt for sunscreens that are applied by hand and can be adequately coated over all areas of the skin.

Although sunscreen is an enormous help, it is not foolproof. Sunburns and skin damage can occur even when using sunscreen, and ‘user error’ accounts for much of the damage. To get the best results from any sunscreen product, educate yourself about proper application and avoid certain information inaccuracies.

MYTH: Sunscreen does not need to

MYTH: The best sunscreen is the one with the highest SPF. Actually, the best sunscreen is the one you will use regularly. Decide if you prefer a sunscreen that is combined with a moisturizer or a makeup foundation. Try sunscreens that are lotions or sticks to figure out which application works best for you. Once you’ve found a product you like, stick with it. But make sure the sunscreen has an adequate sun protection factor, or SPF.

MYTH: I only need sunscreen on sunny days. The sun can prove harmful even on

cloudy days. You may not be safe indoors either, particularly if you spend a good deal of time next to an open window. Window glass will only block certain types of UV light, making sunburn possible even if you are indoors or riding in a car. It’s a good habit to apply sunscreen daily regardless.

MYTH: Spray sunscreens are as effective as the rest. Spray products may not deliver enough sunscreen to the skin because droplets are dispersed unevenly. Furthermore, the propellants used

be reapplied, especially if it’s water-resistant. There is no such thing as a waterproof sunscreen. Consumers falsely believe their sunscreen will not wash off. Water-resistant sunscreens will be effective for a certain number of minutes before they need to be reapplied, usually between 40 to 90 minutes. If you have been sweating profusely or have been in the pool or ocean for awhile, play it safe and reapply often.

MYTH: Spending more money on SPF

50 will get me superior protection. The rate of protection from SPF 30 to SPF 50 is marginal. SPF 30 (when applied correctly) can protect against 97 percent of UVB rays. That’s adequate for many people. It’s most important to choose a sunscreen that protects against UVA AND UVB rays.

5 reasons

why your next workout should be a swim.

Splash forward CALL FOR A FREE HEARING SCREENING & CONSULTATION!

Many people view swimming as a purely recreational activity, but the health benefits of swimming should not be overlooked. Swimming is a great way to get fit, providing great cardiovascular exercise that’s easy on the joints. Swimming engages a variety of muscle groups, making it a great way to get a complete workout. The following are some additional benefits of including swimming as part of your exercise regimen.

1 When swimming, muscles are worked hard, which can help build strength. Much of that work can be traced to the fact that water is far more resistant than air, forcing

a body in water to work harder to move than it would if it were walking on solid ground. 2 Water buoyancy can enable people to do exercises that would be jarring on land. In water, roughly 90 percent of the body is buoyant. That means working out in the water will put less strain on the knees and hips when it comes to performing highimpact jumping exercises.

5 Swimming may help improve coordination, balance and posture. Swimming also may promote greater flexibility by stretching the body through fluid movements.

3 Swimming is a great cardiovascular workout. Swimming can elevate the heart rate to an optimal level and work the lungs, too. Pushing oneself harder and harder can help to burn calories and lead to weight loss.

While swimming is often considered a relaxing activity tailor-made for warm summer days, it also provides a complete and demanding workout that can benefit the body in a variety of ways.

How to make your dishwasher work better As handy as dishwashers can be, sometimes they seem to lose their cleaning power. While inadequate cleaning may indicate the time has come to replace the dishwasher, many times all the appliance needs is a little maintenance and TLC.

White vinegar will naturally break down old dishwasher soap and scale buildup inside of the unit. Consider a short rinse afterward with some bak-

Some dishwashers have removable spinning cleaning arms. Take these off, if possible, and let them soak to dislodge any residue that has clogged the water jets. Use a pipe cleaner or another flexible device to carefully remove any debris from the water holes. You may be amazed at what has built up in these small holes.

Begin by investigating the interior of the dishwasher. Check for any visible food particles or debris, cleaning out any food traps at the bottom of the dishwasher. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to clean the rubber seals around the perimeter of the dishwasher where the door meets up with the tub of the dishwasher, as this is a prime location for debris to gather. Running an empty dishwasher with a clarifying rinse can help wash away any residue and improve performance. Plus, this maintenance task can remove odours and refresh the dishwasher. Put two cups of white vinegar in the bottom of the dishwasher so that it will distribute through the appliance during the cleaning cycles.

For more intense cleaning, create a bath of vinegar and water in your sink basin. Remove parts from the dishwasher, such as shelving and the utensil holder, so that they can soak in the solution.

ing soda to remove odours and scour the interior of the appliance as well. Baking soda and vinegar are popular cleaning substances and are safe to use around food items.

You also may need to inspect the drain line, which is often made of plastic and connected to the trap under the kitchen sink. On occasion, this tube can get blocked and prevent the dishwasher from draining effectively. Maintaining a dishwasher with regular cleaning can help it perform better during each and every load.

Summer Vinaigrette Potato Salad This delicious potato salad is perfect for when you don’t want a mayonnaise based dressing, and is suitable for someone on an egg and dairy free diet. David’s Dynamite Caesar Paste is an excellent and versatile Canadian made product that gives this recipe creaminess without adding any dairy product. You can make it just with potatoes, adding some snipped chives and a few herbs at the end, but including some grilled veggies gives it beautiful colour and added nutrients. And because it’s dairy free, it lasts up to 5 days in the fridge, perfect for lunches the whole week through!

INSTRUCTIONS: Mix vinegar, mustard, Caesar paste, garlic and salt and pepper together. Slowly drizzle in olive oil, whisking continuously until well mixed and all olive oil is used. You can also use an immersion blender to mix it. Gently boil baby potatoes until just tender when pierced with a knife, and let them cool to room temp. Cut in half, or in quarters if large and pour marinade over them. Gently fold in grilled vegetables, capers and herbs, if using. Best served room temperature. Keeps well in the refrigerator for a number of days.

PAIR IT: Try this wine with a mushroom and cheese tart or pork chops with fried onions and mushrooms. This Pinot Noir worked well for me alongside the potato salad in the Lepp Farm Market recipe and grilled strip loin steaks that I rubbed with a combination of Dijon mustard, garlic, thyme, rosemary, sea salt, black pepper, balsamic vinegar (just a few drops for colour and sweet zing) and olive oil.

JEFF CALERWOOD CEO, National Golf Course Owners Association Canada

With over 60 million rounds of golf played each year, golf remains the #1 participation sport in Canada, a strong testament to its perceived value as such a fun, healthy recreation for all ages and both sexes.

Golf provides numerous intangible benefits as well. Juniors gain more valuable life skills such as discipline, honesty, appreciation of nature, dedication and goal setting. The health aspects of golf for all ages are also a great virtue, with a typical 18 hole round burning over 1500 calories.

That incredible popularity of the game has generated a very substantial golf industry in Canada. So golf is also #1 in economic impact ($14.3 billion),

cals. Environment Minister Mary Polak predicted it will significantly improve B.C.’s readiness to coordinate and, if necessary, lead the response to a spill on land without delays to determine who is responsible. Companies will have to join the new response organization if the risk they pose – based on the volume and toxicity of the cargo they ship – exceeds a certain risk threshold that is yet to be determined. The spiller will remain responsible for response and cleanup costs, but if its efforts are failing, the province would be able to call the PRO in to take over. Polak likened the new agency’s role to that of the Western Canada Marine Response Corp., the non-profit industryfunded group that responds to marine spills. “That’s the kind of idea that we are looking at so you have one body that can be contacted, can be immediately put into place, taking action even before we’ve identified who’s responsible for a spill,” she said. Polak said the aim is to fill gaps in readiness, not to duplicate existing industry efforts. While the federal government has jurisdiction over problems along a pipeline rightof-way, Polak said a spill could cause environmental damage over a wider area. “If one imagines the damage that a pipeline spill could potentially do, much of that would then be potentially our responsibility outside of that pipeline right of way.” First Nations and other local communities are expected to play significant roles in the new system. The B.C. SPCA is also involved in the planning work to ensure international best practices in caring for oiled animals, said chief scientific officer Dr. Sara Dubois. The federal government has jurisdiction over spills at sea. But the province says the new land-based spill response system will also be ready to pitch in on a marine spill by helping coordinate the response and quickly minimizing shoreline impacts, if necessary.

FVRD must improve grant oversight: audit Documentation needed for taxpayer funds Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

The Fraser Valley Regional District needs to better ensure that the taxpayer dollars it gives to non-profit organizations are spent appropriately, according to an audit of the district’s finances. The district – which spans an area from Abbotsford to Boston Bar – collects taxes to be used for regional purposes. It also governs unincorporated areas outside city boundaries, paying for amenities and infrastructure,

and awarding grants from a special budget. In its latest audit, KPMG noted that the FVRD, which has a $16 million budget, enters into contracts with and provides grants to non-profit societies and associations, school parent advisory committees, and individuals who provide services for specific purposes. Some grants are small, such as $500 granted to the Deroche Farmer’s Market. Others are much larger, and the auditors said the district’s current policies and agreements don’t include a formal requirement for those

who receive funds to report back to the district on the use of the money. KPMG wrote, “The lack of a reporting mechanism back to the FVRD does not allow for management to ensure the appropriate use of taxpayers’ dollars.” For agencies and organizations receiving relatively small amounts, KPMG said photos, letters or reports would suffice. But they said those agencies applying for more money should submit their annual financial statements along with a review or audit.

Agreements should also require that audited statements or financial reviews be submitted after grants are received to account for the FVRD’s funds. The FVRD’s current grant-in-aid application form states that those applying for grants should summarize how moneys will be used. It adds that “organizations may be required to make a presentation or provide further documentation.” The form also states that the FVRD can “request a full accounting” of grant money.

they believe is best placed to tackle an issue for which they are passionate. The YPI semifinals involve the winning team from each class making a 10-minute presentation in front of a larger audience and panel of judges. The first-semester semifinals were held in January, resulting in the team of Russell and Hartle advancing to the finals. The second-semester semifinals were held June 9, with the team from the Avalon Recovery Society selected for the finals and the Creative Centre Society team taking second place. The finals were held later that same day between the top team from each semester. Other charities represented at the semifinals were Habitat for Humanity, Zajac Ranch and the Abbotsford Food Bank. The competition was judged by: principal Jay Pankratz; YPI representative Jordan Kok; Lori Masse of the United Way; assistant superintendent Gino Bondi; last year’s winners Simran Dhadda and Navjot Bahga; and last year’s finalists Matthew Connor and Avery Warkentin.

From the rugby pitch to the classroom

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Refereeing made me a teacher, and teaching makes me a better refereeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

This summer, tempers will flare and bodies will collide at the rugby competition at the Pan-American Games in Toronto. In the middle of it all will be referee Chris Assmus, who will be tasked with controlling the maelstrom of speed and aggression that is the game of rugby. To do so, the 26-year-old Assmus will depend not only on a lifetime in rugby but also on lessons learned in an Abbotsford middle school classroom. Assmus grew up playing the sport as a child in rugby-mad South Africa and has been refereeing ever since a shoulder injury while playing for the University of Ontario left him looking to stay involved. After more injury troubles derailed an attempt to play full-time in France, Assmus turned back to refereeing, a pivot that landed him on Vancouver Island, where he worked with the Canadian national rugby program while studying to become a teacher. Since moving to Abbotsford in 2013 to take up a French Immersion teaching position at Chief Dan George middle school, his refereeing resume has continued to grow.

Chief Dan George middle school teacher Chris Assmus is an internationally accredited rugby refTYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News eree who aims to officiate in the World Cup. In November 2013, he got the call to officiate his first full international test matches â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â a game between Uruguay and Spain in Montevideo, Uruguay, and another between

the United States and the Maori All Blacks in Philadelphia. The latter game, which was played in front of 25,000 fans, remains the peak of Assmusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

officiating career, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walking into the change room at halftime, you realized how important that game was.â&#x20AC;? The assignments have continued at home and abroad. Once a year, Assmus travels to Europe to continue working on his officiating skills, and Assmus was in Great Britain earlier this year refereeing a game between the Scottish under-19 squad and Japan. Having graduated to refereeing national games between Tier 2 countries (a group that includes Canada), Assmus now has his eyes set on eventually officiating games between rugby giants like Australia and New Zealand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next World Cup cycle, I hope to be part of that World Cup conversation,â&#x20AC;? he says. But most days he can still be found in his classroom without a whistle. Although Assmus says he has been approached to referee full-time, he has balked at the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that I hesitate to do because not only does teaching contribute to what I am as a person, it contributes to what I am as a referee as well.â&#x20AC;?

GET READY FOR SUMMER! STAY COOL & FRESH IS YOUR AC READY?

DID YOU KNOW?

Air and water can get into the A/C system which can reduce the efficiency of the system and can also lead to corrosion or fungus, mould and bacterial growth that is blown into the passenger area.

THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO... To complete the HVAC service a

technician will clean out the air conditioning lines, evaporator and ventilator and then kill any bacteria mould or fungi. Then deodorize the entire A/C system and the vehicles interior. Finally, after a complete inspection for leaks and wear, the technician will measure and replenish the oil in the compressor. The air inside your vehicle will be much cleaner and 4 to 5 degrees cooler, thanks to increased efficiency.

TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News

Chris Assmus stops play during the senior boys B.C. Provincial Championship.

From A46

Self-analysis is key

He continues: “Refereeing made me a teacher, and teaching makes me a better referee.” The two callings both inform the need “to weigh perception – perception being reality,” he says. The jobs have also taught him lessons about relying on one’s position of authority. “I’m not the biggest guy on the rugby field and if you act like you’re the biggest guy in the classroom, that’s not necessarily going to lead you to good things,” he says. Similarly, both positions require a dedication to self-analysis and selfreflection, he says. “You’re your greatest asset in terms of your review process, whether as a teacher or as a referee.”

Assmus was also responsible for bringing rugby to Chief Dan George. After having a single boys team in the program’s first year, Assmus got help from two fellow teachers, and 51 kids on a boys 15 team as well as girls and boys sevens teams signed up for the 2015 season. And while the level of play isn’t what he’s used to refereeing, and there aren’t thousands of screaming fans scrutinizing every tackle, Assmus says the game is still a joy. “It’s about treating every game with the respect it deserves,” he says. “Every game – whether it’s Grade 8 rugby or rugby overseas – to the players involved, it’s their World Cup final.”

Our mom’s address became heaven 2 years ago and we still love her song. Life is like a mountain railroad, with an engineer that’s brave; We must make the successful, from the cradle to the grave; Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels; never falter, never quail; Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail. Bless’d Savior, Thou wilt guide us, Till we reach that blissful shore; Where the angels wait to join us In Thy praise forevermore. You will roll up grades of trial; you will cross the bridge of strife; See that Christ is your Conductor on this lightning train of life; Always mindful of obstruction, do your duty, never fail; Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail. You will often find obstructions look for storms of wind and rain; On a fill, or curve, or trestle, they will almost ditch your train; Put your trust alone in Jesus; never falter, never fail; Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail. As you roll across the trestle, spanning Jordan’s swelling tide, You behold the Union Depot into which your train will glide; There you’ll meet the Superintendent, God the Father, God the Son, With the hearty, joyous plaudit, “Weary pilgrim, welcome home!”

Love, all the Family

CAMERON John John Cameron, affectionately known to all as Uncle John, was born on February 15, 1933 in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. He passed peacefully in his sleep on June 12, 2015 at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital. His youth was spent in Stirling where he met his life long friend Bill Kerr. John was a brilliant man with a knack for mathematic equations that led him into the field of Engineering. He became a Stress Engineer working in Stirling, Glasgow and Bristol. Bill urged John to follow him to Canada and upon immigrating in 1964 he started working with Boeing in Seattle, designing parts for planes. He then continued his career working for Marietta in New Orleans, designing parts for the space shuttles for NASA. His final working years were spent in Montreal, where he worked for Bombardier until his retirement in 1998. Moving back to Abbotsford to be with his adopted family, the Kerrs, he lived a peaceful and relaxing life with daily walks, playing his guitar, painting and sketching, reading and socializing with his friends at the Learning Plus Society. John will be missed by his sister Margie (Margaret) Leckie, Aberdeen, Scotland, and her children, Alexander, Marian, Steven, John & Patricia. His adopted family in Canada, Shielagh, George, Lisa, Moira, Ryan, Bill, Taylor, Kyla, Brooke & Rory. As well as, his longtime friend, Mila Auld, and her family, who he enjoyed visiting on Saltspring Island. No service by request, Uncle John would just appreciate that when you walk his favourite places you think of him. “Aonaibh ri chéile” When death’s dark stream I ferry o’er, A time that surely shall come; In Heaven itself, I’ll ask no more, Than just a Highland welcome. Robert Burns

VLEEMING Huibert Jan Dec. 15, 1942 ~ June 7, 2015

After patiently battling cancer for 2 years, Huibert passed away peacefully in his home in the early evening on June 7th, 2015. Whether we liked it or not, he always had a plan for everything in life and this was no exception. He always has and always will take care of us. Huibert is lovingly remembered by his “Sweetie,” Arlene; their 5 children: Brian, Kevin (Jackie), Mike (Cindy), Kyle (Tracy) and Alisha (Kevin) and his 13 precious grandchildren: Cory, Chelsea, Shania, Tyson, Cole, Nick, Nathan, Carson, Alison, Makenna, Chace, Bryce and Hayden. He is also survived by 6 siblings: Jack (Donna), Tina (Sid), Jean (Dick), John (Grace), Jan (Wendy), Rose (Herb) and many other loved ones. Huibert thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and he will be greatly missed. Although it is hard to say goodbye, we are feeling comforted by the wonderful memories that we have and in knowing that he is finally in a better place, without pain and suffering. A memorial service was held at Gateway Community Church on Friday, June 12th, 2015. As you rest now, from your almost 73 year journey, you should know that you have made your family proud. You were a great husband, father, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend. You will be forever in our hearts. Rest now, you’ve earned it. Online condolences to the family may be made to: www.wiebeandjeskefh.com

IT’S REALLY REALLY

The MX-5 fully embraces the Kodo or “Soul of Motion” design language that inspires clean and crisp lines on new and future Mazda products. You won’t find hard edges on this car, but you will find a flowing form that is highly attractive at a standstill. While the looks of a car are essential, it’s not what the MX-5 relies on for its cult-like following. It’s the drive. The MX-5 is a car that can make you feel like a hero, or a champion without breaking too many road rules. It’s a car whose steering, suspension and transmission work so seamlessly together with the driver that it requires effort not to enjoy yourself. If the Laws of Attraction are yet again on my side, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 and I will cross paths again. Hopefully sooner rather than later. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 (the GX trim) has a starting MSRP of $31,900. The GS has an MSRP of $35,300 and the GT of $39,200. All three trims can be outfitted with the six-speed manual or the six-speed automatic for the same price.

YOU RH

‘‘

That’s solidified with the fourth generation. Without getting too technical, dimensionally, it has changed. It’s actually smaller – the overhangs in the front and rear don’t hang as much – yet space is used even more efficiently inside. The driver sits lower, and so does the engine. I’m not a particularly tall individual, but my driving partner, an above average height male, didn’t find himself as cramped as he thought he would be. Even when we put the top up, claustrophobia was nowhere to be found. And speaking of top up driving, cabin noise is reduced significantly. Thanks to an aluminum front panel and insulating headliner, wind noise is cut by 40 per wwcent. With the top down, engineers have used their wizardry – or in this case, scientific knowhow – to keep cabin wind at bay and to allow conversations to be carried on without having to yell. And without too much hair being blown around. Side note: ladies, bring a hair tie just in case. Perhaps MX-5 admirers should also bring their sunglasses, because this front-engine, rear-wheel drive car is hot. Hot meaning sexy. And sexy in regards to its styling.

laboratory, to conduct rigorous crash testing on commonly available pet safety products using realistic, specially designed crash test dogs. The results, including a crate-sizing guide and best practice for securing pets in vehicles, will be shared later this summer. “No performance standards or test protocols currently exist for pet crates or carriers, and while many pet safety product manufacturers claim to test their products, they can’t be substantiated without uniform test standards and

protocols,” said Lindsey Wolko, Center for Pet Safety’s founder and CEO. “We are very excited to once again have the support of Subaru, allowing the independent examination of pet crates and carriers. Subaru understands the importance of safety of all passengers including our four-legged friends.” Research results can be viewed at www.CenterforPetSafety.org; to view video of the crash-testing visit youtube.com and search Center for Pet Safety. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

You need to have an enquiring mind. You have to ask questions (...), not accept what is given, but say: "Why is it so?" And it is in that kind of asking that you begin to get behind some of the issues that allow the world to appear the way it does. So if you just accept the world the way it is and don't question it I can't see how you can go far creatively. ~Edward Burtynsky
