Homeless have shelter options: city lawyer City of Abbotsford opens its case in Supreme Court trial Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
The City of Abbotsford will argue it’s doing its best to help the homeless population while keeping parks safe for other users, city lawyer James Yardley said Wednesday during the ongoing Supreme Court trial into the constitutionality of several bylaws. Lawyers affiliated with Pivot Legal Society are suing the city on
behalf of the BC/Yukon Drug War Survivors (DWS), a group of homeless activists who say Abbotsford’s bylaws are unconstitutional. They allege that a combination of the city’s bylaws – which prohibit unauthorized camping in city parks – and a lack of housing options put homeless people at risk and infringe on their right to security of person. After two weeks of testimo-
ny before Supreme Court Justice Christopher Hinkson by witnesses for the plaintiffs, the city opened its case Wednesday. In his opening statement,Yardley laid out the broad strokes of the city’s case. He said the city has undertaken a variety of efforts to try to provide shelter for its homeless, despite no legal requirement to do so. “There are housing and shelter
options for people living in encampments,” he said. Yardley pointed to a range of programs and city initiatives, including the creation of Assertive Community Treatment team to provide health assistance for the homeless, the establishment of a Homelessness Task Force, and the approval of a new low-barrier supportive housing facility.

University of the Fraser Valley students are about to get a lot more hands-on experience thanks to a large and loud donation. KF Aerospace in Kelowna donated a Boeing 727 -200 aircraft to UFV on Wednesday by touching the plane down at the Abbotsford International Airport. The aircraft will be available for students to use in the Aircraft Structural Technician program, where they will learn how to repair, maintain, assemble, and modify the plane. “It’s a nice plane,” UFV student Jerome Carretas said, rapping his fist on the inside of the hollowed-out Boeing. UFV dean of applied and technical studies John English says the plane will be beneficial for students, who will get the opportunity to have hands-on experience. “These students will know how to fix these airplanes. Many of these students will end up in manufacturing jobs, where they’ll make structural components for airplanes,” he said. “They’ll put their hands on every part of it.” KF Aerospace director of human resources Grant Stevens says his company doesn’t have a use for the old planes. The Boeing 727 stopped producing in 1984, so instead of having the old aircraft take up

A Boeing 727-200 jet lands at Abbotsford International Airport Wednesday. The aircraft was donated by KF Aerospace to UFV for use by its students. space or selling its parts overseas, Stevens said that donating them makes sense. “The reality is that we’re not going to use them,” he said, adding that their mandate is to boost the aerospace industry in Canada. This is not the first time the company has donated a used aircraft; In May of this year, they donated another Boeing 727 to the Fanshawe College in London, Ont. “We want to make sure that students [who] are going to be future employers of
ours have practice working on real-world aircrafts,” Stevens said. For 40 years, this particular Boeing 727 worked for Air Italia, Continental Airlines, Purolator, and the KF Aerospace. As its last stop, the plane has rolled into the UFV Aerospace Centre, located at the Abbotsford International Airport. UFV will formally thank KF Aerospace at the Abbotsford International Airshow, which runs August 7 through 9, with the Boeing 727 on display.

degree to which he can weigh in on decisions by politicians acting for their constituents. “Do I need to concern myself with political decisions that have been made?” he asked Yardley. Hinkson mused: “I suppose, so what if the city hasn’t done anything. It’s not something I can pronounce upon, whether they do or don’t do anything.” Yardley suggested he will make arguments similar to that point later in the trial. Yardley contended that the definition of homelessness is up for debate, with people moving in and out of shelters, and indeed Abbotsford. “The way it’s been framed is that it’s a simple accounting exercise,” Yardley said. “The definition of what is housing and what is available housing is not always so clear.” If the bylaws are deemed unconstitutional, Yardley said the city will seek relief under Section 1 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees those freedoms subject to “reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.” Yardley will also argue that Abbotsford bylaws don’t actually prohibit camping in its parks, but rather regulate it. He noted that those who wish to camp overnight on park land can apply to

the city to do so. Hinkson expressed skepticism at the argument, and asked Yardley if the city would ever approve a request for the creation of a homeless encampment. “It’s never gotten to that point,” Yardley replied. Hinkson suggested it might be “unlikely in the extreme” that the city would grant approval, but said he would wait until hearing from witnesses to make up his mind. The city’s first witness was Parks, Recreation and Culture general manager Heidi Enns, who testified that the city never received an application for camping or the building of a structure in Jubilee Park regarding a protest camp that was erected there in 2013. She said the city has previously granted applications to camp on parkland and pointed to a decision to allow RVs to stay overnight on MSA Arena grounds during the Abbotsford Whalers swim meet at Mill Lake Park. Pivot lawyers also contend that actions taken by city staffers and the Abbotsford Police Department also infringed on the rights of the homeless. Yardley said actions taken by the Abbotsford Police, including the slashing and pepper spraying of tents, which were referred to by the plaintiffs are not at issue because the APD is not being sued. As for the spreading of chicken manure on a homeless camp in June of 2013, Yardley said that action “was not done pursuant to city policy.” Yardley will also try to distance Abbotsford’s homelessness issues from those of Victoria, which was the subject of a 2008 judgment that gave people the right to camp in parks overnight – although it required tents to be taken down during the day. Victoria, he said, had more than 1,000 homeless residents and shelter space for around 300. Abbotsford’s situation, where 151 homeless people were counted in 2014, is significantly different.

OF THE WEEK
Homeless experience
Are you following the Pan Am Games held in Toronto?
If anyone knows anything about drug use and homelessness, will know that those are only symptoms or results of mental illness, depression, schizophrenia, etc. When Abbotsford starts treating this problem as a mental illness problem, they will get to the source. Paula Bourque
To answer, go to abbynews.com
The city of Abby has a really big problem here, after years of sweeping under the rug. If this case wins, then I guess anyone can just camp in any park or area in Abbotsford. Kirk Chorm
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Are you enjoying this hot weather?
Is it just me, or are we blurring a “homeless” problem with a “drug” problem. They don’t work or have homes because they do drugs all the time. I’m sorry if I seem heartless, but I’ve been homeless. Lynne Jasper

HOT SUMMER TRENDS
SAVE 30%
3,000 volunteers needed for 2016 Summer Games ductees confirmed their attendance. Rugby star and BC Summer Games alum Harry Toews will be there, along with wrestling gold medalist Cory Kwak, world class water skier and Fraser Valley Water Ski Club founding member Dave Miller and Jack Robertson, a community builder who spearheaded the creation of Rotary Stadium among other local projects, and who was the founding president of the Abbotsford Hall of Fame. Carlton said businesses are also encouraged to donate money, materials or services. Any surplus money will go to a legacy fund to benefit the city. The 2004 Abbotsford Games left a community legacy of more than $174,000. Of that money, $100,000 went to the Abbotsford Community Foundation for student bursaries and scholarships. The University of Fraser Valley received $46,000, while the city took in the remaining amount which was used to purchase a saddle tent, still used at various local events, according to Carlton. The BC Summer Games feature the best young developing athletes in the province, supported by certified coaches and officials. Abbotsford expects to welcome more than 3,500 participants in 18 sports. The games will include three days of competition between July 22 and 24, with a closing ceremony on the final day. The Games could infuse as much as $2 million into the local economy, according to a city news release. At last year’s event in Nanaimo, the overall direct spending impact generated was nearly $2 million, including $1.1 million in spending by participants, families and other spectators over the four days.

The one-year countdown to the 2016 Abbotsford BC Summer Games is about to begin. A 365 Days to Go celebration at Thunderbird Plaza (behind city hall) will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on July 21. Entry is free. “We’re inviting the public to come out. A few local sports celebrities are also coming to help us kick off the Games,� said Abbotsford BC Summer Games board president Steve Carlton. Carlton said Tuesday’s extravaganza will also function as a public awareness event for next year’s Games, with a focus on signing volunteers, as thousands more are still needed. There will be a registration tent for those interested. There is a major amount of planning and organization left to accomplish, said Carlton. There are currently 125 CARLTON key volunteers, directors and chair members working on communications, accommodations, transportation and food, and the Games are looking for another 3,000 volunteers to help in every area. Abbotsford’s Silverfox Air Cadet Squadron will also be marching with the BC Games flag, which will be raised at city hall to cap off the celebration. There will also be a medley of entertainment featuring local singers and dancers, including Bhangra, Korean and First Nation performances. As well, food and light refreshments will be provided by local vendors. In addition, four Abbotsford Hall of Fame in-

Level 4 drought declared Grand Fondo bike event this weekend Low stream flows put fish at risk Jeff Nagel Black Press
The province has declared a level 4 drought in the South Coast and Lower Fraser areas due to low stream flow conditions as extreme dry weather extends to more parts of the province. Invoking the highest drought alert level means broad conservation efforts are expected, while major water users could face temporary restrictions and freshwater fishing could be banned on many streams. “We need everybody to be focused on conservation and taking the correct measures,” said Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. Angling is already banned in many streams in the Southern Interior and on Vancouver Island, where a level 4 drought alert has already been in place. Other streams in the South Coast
and Lower Fraser are now on a watch list for potential closure. (For details on closed streams see http://www. env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/regulations/) Low stream flows and higher water temperatures mean fish like rainbow trout are at greater risk of dying if caught and released. “Some streams are approaching extremely low discharges and temperatures as high as 25 degrees,” provincial fisheries manager Mike Ramsay said. “Under these conditions, fish seek cold water refuges and become vulnerable.” Fish kills have happened on tributaries of the Similkameen and Barriere rivers, according to provincial officials, and some fish were stranded in an area of the East Kootenays. Ramsay noted most B.C. rivers and streams remain open to recreational fishing and no lakes are closed.
A record number of riders will pass through Abbotsford in the fourth annual Prospera Valley GranFondo. The mass cycling event begins
and ends at the Fort Langley Historical site on Sunday, beginning at 7 a.m. About 1,500 riders will ride from Langley through South
Abbotsford to Sumas Prairie from which they will go up and over Sumas Mountain and back to Fort Langley through Matsqui Flats.

Development proceeds despite density concerns
Start something with a donation of time or money at www.mentoringworks.ca.
Project would connect stretches of Marshall Road Alex BUTLER Abbotsford
A development project that will include almost 300 townhouses, and connect two stretches of Marshall Road in east Abbotsford, received third reading at council last month. The proposal, previously discussed by council late last year, was originally set to include 370 townhouse units and 30 single-family lots at Marshall Road and Canterbury Avenue. The project would also lead to the connection of Marshall Road through the development, between Old Yale and Whatcom roads. At a public hearing in December, neighbouring residents expressed concerns about the high density of the proposal, saying they knew the area would be developed, but thought it would be single-family homes. Council later deferred third
reading and sent the issue back to staff to work with the applicant on lowering the density. Some councillors expressed concern that the high density was needed to cover the developer’s cost of building the road. The developer resubmitted a plan with a total of 293 townhouse units, but the city report indicates that there could be a further reduction in density due to possible site constraints. The site was rezoned to allow for a maximum of 295 townhouses and 30 single-family residential lots. Council also chose to increase the rebate amount for developing Marshall Road, from $513,900 to $1.2 million. The total estimated costs of the road, the rest of which will be paid for by the developer, is estimated to be between $4.3 and $6.5 million.

90TH BIRTHDAY
6918
LOST Chihuahua!
“Jaeger” went missing on July 11th @ 10:30 am at the Bradner Rest Stop off Hwy. 1. He is neutered, 8 yrs. old and tan in colour. My cell phone is 250-538-8858 and I live in Nelson but am on Salt Spring Island for a week. He has a collar on (unless it’s come off) that has his name on it and my cell phone number and my old Salt Spring Island address. I’ve searched the trails surrounding the rest area plus driven around the neighbourhood which includes: Ross Rd., Bradner Rd., Townshipline Rd., Haverman Rd., Lefeurve Rd., Myrtle Rd. & Downes Rd.

Grants awarded for agriculture projects The Abbotsford Community Foundation (ACF) has recently provided grants totaling $55,000 for two projects through the Agriculture Enhancement Grants Program, a joint initiative between the foundation and the City of Abbotsford. The Catalyst Agri-Innovations Society received a grant for $45,000 to help fund a research project that takes the excess nutrients from wastewater and directly produces a protein feed ingredient for animals from duckweed that is superior to corn and soya, the most common sources. “We harness a plant called duckweed which is prolific in the ditches of Abbotsford during the warm summer months. No one has attempted to exploit the performance of duckweed here before because it required 23 to 30 degree temperatures to
thrive. We are using cutting edge growth chamber technology with wastewater treatment, moving nature inside,” said researcher Christopher Bush, a member of the society. This project, if successful, will enhance agriculture by addressing issues of the environmental impacts of agriculture, and show that Abbotsford wants to protect and care for the sensitive air shed, and vulnerable aquifer. The second project involves a collaboration between the Abbotsford Farm and Country Market and a research team from the Agriburban Research Centre at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) to promote buying local food and conduct research on the development of a permanent farmers’ market.

Province eyes penalties for fire starters
ER MONT Y A L P OF THE
H
NOW N O E L A S Y A 3 D
By Tom Fletcher
ENDS SATURDAY @ SUNRISE TOYOTA
Black Press
The B.C. government is reviewing its penalties for those who start forest fires with campfires or discarded cigarette butts, as losses pile up from a severe early fire season. Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris has been assigned to the review, as the province’s forest fire crews continue to work flat-out to keep up with lightning-caused fires and those caused by human carelessness. Morris said he will examine what new penalties can be effectively enforced. “For example, should we be banning those who break fire bans from attending our provincial parks?” Morris said. “Should we look at larger fines up to and including possibly of the impoundment of vehicles for those who flick lit cigarette butts out of their windows?” One tree faller has been killed as the B.C. Wildfire Service continues to work against 175 active wildfires, down from 200 since the start of the week due to cooler weather and showers. The service has tackled more than 1,000 forest fires so far this year, about a third of them human caused. “There are some who have suggested you can’t legislate against stupidity,” Forests Minister Steve Thomson said. “But if exploring the idea of increasing fines or acting on ideas that mean more people will get the message, I think we should be prepared to have a look at it.” Witnesses can report careless smokers or breaches of the province-wide outdoor fire ban with the same phone numbers as to report wildfires, 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on a mobile phone. Of the 14 new fires Monday, two are suspected to have been human-caused. About 375 of this season’s fires are listed as human-caused, burning 44,000 hectares.

Abby resident Amir Kani will be competing in Race for the House this weekend, racing his Honda Civic SI.
Charity auto race at Mission Raceway Abbotsford resident Amir Kani will be competing in Race for the House, a Sports Car Club of B.C. (SCCBC) charity auto race this weekend, July 18-19, at Mission Raceway in support of Ronald McDonald House B.C. (RMHBC). Kani will be racing his Honda Civic SI, while a variety of other race cars are scheduled to compete Saturday and Sunday. Taking centre stage will be the open wheel Formula Continental cars. For a small donation, the public can also feel the thrill of motorsport
racing by taking a few laps in a high-performance car around the Road Course at Mission Raceway in the Hot Laps event. The SCCBC was the second largest donor to RMHBC in 2014. The RMHBC offers refuge for families of children admitted for treatment in local hospitals and relies, in part, on public support. It opened a new house last year, and can accommodate up to 73 families, and over 2,500 over the course of the year. Families are asked to pay $12 per night.
Ledgeview Ladies’ Amateur The 2015 Ledgeview Ladies’ Amateur will be taking place July 25-26 at Ledgeview Golf & Country Club. Entry into the 38th anniversary event will cost $160 for non-members and $120 for Ledgeview Golf Club members. There will be a buffet dinner following play on Saturday and a continental breakfast Sunday. Lunch and prizes will follow play on day two. Visit ledgeviewgolf.

Behind every work zone cone is a worker in a vulnerable position. Each cone stands for someone’s father, mother, son, or daughter. That’s why it’s important to know that thousands of people working by the roadside in B.C. are counting on you to slow down and drive with care when approaching a “Cone Zone.” ConeZoneBC.com

Junior Cardinals slide into fourth Brandon KOSTINUK Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford Junior Cardinals faced three games in five days, culminating in a commanding 12-1 victory over the White Rock Junior Tritons, Wednesday night. Brett Bass and Cade Smith both tallied three RBIs off three hits on three at-bats for the Cardinals. The team helped themselves to fourteen hits and scored at least a run in every inning. Josh Froese pitched a strong game for Abbotsford. Through four innings he kept White Rock off the scoresheet, securing three strikeouts and allowing just two hits. The Junior Cards split their doubleheader against the North Shore Junior Twins, on Saturday, losing the first game 4-1. Abbotsford managed just five hits against Junior Twins pitcher Robert Mackie, who struck out four through five innings. The lone Cardinals run was batted in by Robert Bradley, allowing Aiden McDonald to score in the fourth. In the second game, the Junior Cards bounced back with a tight 9-7 win in what was a backand-forth match where the lead was traded six times. After just two runs through four, the Junior Cards exploded in the fifth for a five-run inning which put them up 7-5 going into the sixth. The advantage grew to four runs, and the Junior Cards allowed North Shore just two in the seventh. Nick Graham secured the win for Abbotsford after coming in as relief and allowing three runs over three innings pitched. The Junior Cards slid into fourth place with these two wins, bumping White Rock down to fifth. They have seven games left in the season, three of which are at home. Abbotsford next face the North Delta Junior Blue Jays in a doubleheader, Sunday July 19.

Yale Hockey Academy forward Jesse Lansdell has committed to the University of Notre Dame’s NCAA Division I program, though he won’t suit up for the Fighting Irish until the 2016-17 season. The Grade 11 Sardis Secondary student who currently billets with an Abbotsford family said the decision to attend the famous university was easy once he visited earlier this year. “It’s a beautiful
campus and the facilities were [redone] a few years ago,” said Lansdell, alluding to Notre Dame’s Compton Family Ice Arena, which went up in the fall of 2011. The arena, located on campus, seats 5,022. Lansdell said his academic interest is in business, but key in his decision was how welcoming the coaching staff were. “They knew the kind of player I was,” said
IT’S BACK!
Lansdell, who described himself as a 200-foot player, who likes to use his body and size. “I’m more a playmaker.” The 16-year-old spent the 2014-15 season with the Yale Hockey Academy prep team, with whom he registered 55 points and 106 penalty minutes in 25 games. “Playing for Yale this past season has definitely made me a more rounded player,” said Landsell.
20
He is the fifth player from the 2014-15 prep team to have committed to an NCAA program, and will join teammate Alec Capstick at Notre Dame. Lansdell also played seven regular season games with the Chilliwack Chiefs of the British Columbia Hockey League last season, netting one assist and seven penalty minutes and made four post-season appearances with the club.
Jesse Lansdell is the fifth player from the 2014-15 Yale prep team to commit to an James Dewar Photo NCAA program this year.

An original walk back in time Mark
Rushton Faces, Places and Traces When I arrived in this community in 1968, South Fraser Way was a two-lane artery linking the shopping areas of Abbotsford and Clearbrook. The route had few businesses between the centres, save a gas station or two and the Dog n’ Suds drive-in which was a magnet for boys in cars. And occasionally when the lone night patrol officer of Matsqui 5-0 was in Bradner checking barking dog complaints, the roadway became an impromptu drag strip. It wasn’t until 1975 that the route was ‘gentrified’ with the opening of Sevenoaks Shopping Centre followed shortly by the maze of businesses we now see lining the five-lane thoroughfare. Busy as it is now, 100 years before Sevenoaks, when horsepower was measured by the number of legs in front of the wagon, what is now South Fraser Way was British Columbia’s major transportation corridor to the Fraser Canyon and Cariboo gold fields. Except back then, it was known as the New Westminster to Yale Wagon Road, later shortened to Old Yale Road. It traversed the valley from near what is now the Patullo Bridge, through Cloverdale and Langley, wending its way along the path of today’s Fraser Highway into Abbotsford. The transition to South Fraser Way in our city’s heart occurs Continued on A35

From A34
at Abbotsford’s City Hall, and resumes again at the end of Essendene Avenue. From there it rolls along the shoulder of Sumas Mountain foothills to Whatcom Road where it turned south to skirt Sumas Lake. In the Arnold area of Sumas Prairie, there are various sections of Old Yale Road leading to the edge of Vedder Mountain. However, there remains only one short, original section of the wagon road throughout its entire length from New West to Yale in the Fraser Canyon. That small piece of original trail, about a kilometer in length, extends from the junction of Majuba Hill Road (part of the original trail) and Wilson Road, immediately south of the railway tracks that once carried the historic Interurban. It was there that Yarrow’s first post office was built at the turn of the 20th century, constructed at that location on the edge of Vedder Mountain because what is now Yarrow was beneath the waters of Sumas Lake. The tiny site is designated Majuba Heritage Park. One can access the historic trail at that point, or at its eastern end on Vedder Road just east of the railway tracks. There is a roadside pull-out about 50 metres beyond the tracks, and a couple of little signs designating the trail. This historic remnant is worth a walk back in time, on a route that was central the eventual creation of what we now know as the City of Abbotsford. It preceded even the first structure in Abbotsford by about a quarter of a century, and was the first step in creating the remarkable transportation system that spans and connects British Columbia and its resources with the rest of the world. markrushton@abbynews.com

B.C. to review bottled water rates Online petition calls for industries to pay more Picture Yourself at the HOTTEST Arts Soiree in the coolest Gallery!

By Tom Fletcher Black Press
Premier Christy Clark has promised a review of rates charged for water used in bottling, after an online petition called on the government to increase the nominal rate the province will collect starting next year. Swiss conglomerate Nestlé will pay the same rate as other industrial water users for its bottled water operation near Hope, but as largest water bottler in B.C. the it has been singled out for protest as drought conditions continue across the province. An online campaign by SumOfUs. org, which calls itself a “global consumer watchdog,” has gathered more
than 200,000 signatures since February, which the group planned to to deliver to the Langley constituency office of Environment Minister Mary Polak this week. Polak said Tuesday the protest against Nestlé Waters has produced some misconceptions about how groundwater is regulated in B.C. “People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak said. “There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.” She warned that those demanding an increase in the rate of $2.25 per 1,000
cubic metres of water should understand the risk that B.C. could lose control of the resource. If groundwater is treated as a commodity like oil or minerals, the North American Free Trade Agreement would allow the U.S. to demand equal access. The charge for using groundwater is called a water rental, to avoid any suggestion of transfer of ownership, Polak said. The rate was set in a recent review of provincial water legislation, to raise $11 million a year from industrial water users to cover the administrative costs of the water licence system. Nestlé Waters says its Hope operation uses one per cent of the available groundwater flowing through Kawkawa Lake, with no impact on the watershed in 15 years of regulated operation.

MAIN EVENT

Laura Story comes to Agrifair Hosting a Christian music concert on Agrifair’s Sunday evening has become a staple event and proven to be very successful. “Our main stage concerts begin at approximately 9 p.m. and take place in a grassy field,” says Pamela Brenner, General Manager of the Abbotsford Agrifair. “The venue is lovely at that time of the evening. People bring blankets and lawn chairs, sitting under the stars enjoying awesome entertainment.” Brenner, credits the Agrifair’s two strong partners – Columbia Cabinets and Countertops, and Fraserway RV – which have allowed the fair to wrangle up even bigger performers like Christian music sensation Laura Story. With a Billboard Music Award, a Grammy and a few Dove Awards (Christian music awards) Laura Story is sure to bring a high-calibre of musical talent and expertise to the main stage. Her single Blessings became her first to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Songs chart
and eventually went on to win the 2011 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Song. She released her next album Great God Who Saves in 2013, which also charted on the Billboard Heatseekers Album chart. After years of song writing, Story’s message has remained consistent: talking about how God’s promises intersect with the daily grind of our lives. However, Christians and non-Christians alike will be able to find something they can relate to. “A lot of my songs are about the trials our family has walked through with my husband’s health issues and ensuing disabilities, as they have greatly affected our lives as well as our faith,” says Story, “but the main message of my songs is hope, that God is real and close to us no matter what we are walking through in life and has a purpose for every chapter of our story.” Story says she loves meeting new people and encourages anyone to come. “Our events are always a healthy
As for whether or not Story will get to enjoy the full Agrifair experience with her family? “We have never been so we are hoping to get there early enough to enjoy the festival,” she says. “We are so excited to get to come!” Opening for Laura Story is Joel Reimer, the winner PRAISE 106.5 Local Music Search contest, as well as Awake O Sleeper, a local band from Chilliwack. Friday evening will be the finals for the Valley Voices Vocal Competition, which has been running at Agrifair for a number of years, and Saturday evening is “Dreams - North America’s No. 1 Tribute to Fleetwood Mac”. Each show is included in gate admission. For a full list of pricing and more information, visit agrifair.ca

Dorothy’s Summer Fruit Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
KATHLEEN RAKE
RECIPE PAIRING: Gehringer Brothers Late Harvest Riesling SWEET WHITE WINE: 2014 PRODUCER: Gehringer Brothers
PROVIDED BY LEPP FARM MARKET
REGION/COUNTRY: Okanagan Valley; BC VQA
This easy but elegant coffee cake with a cream cheese filling and fruit topping would be equally delicious with any of summer’s juicy fruits or berries. The tangy cream cheese filling could be enhanced by adding a dollop of whip cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce on the top; a dessert fit for your most special guests.
INGREDIENTS: 2 1/4 cups flour
2 cups
approximately of fruit of your choice - berries, peaches, diced apricots, plums or pears
CREAM CHEESE FILLING: 8 oz 1/4 cup 1 tsp
cream cheese sugar vanilla extract or almond flavouring OR 1 tbsp of your favourite liqueur that complements the fruit ie: amaretto with pitted cherries or pears, limoncello with raspberries, brandy with plums
3/4 cup
sugar
3/4 cup
butter
1/2 tsp
baking powder
1/2 tsp
baking soda
1/4 tsp
Salt
1
egg
DIRECTIONS:
3/4 cup
sour cream if the egg is small, increase sour cream to 1 cup
Mix the flour, sugar and butter into a fine crumb and set aside 1 cup for crumb topping. This can be done with
your hands, a pastry blender, food processor or right in your mixer if the butter is still fairly firm. Add all remaining ingredients and mix until combined. The batter will be fairly thick and may still have small pieces of butter visible. Spread into a greased springform pan. Make sure you spread up the sides just a bit to hold the cream cheese filling. Beat cream cheese and sugar together until creamy, add flavouring of choice. Spread overtop of the batter, to within one inch of the pan. Sprinkle with fruit. Top with the crumbs and slivered almonds (if using) Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-55 minutes.

The Farmer and the Foodie the Crystal Gala ladies.
A number of people recently raved about Dorothy’s delicious coffee cake and it didn’t take me long to pry the recipe out of her flour-dusted hands. Dorothy Dyck, charter member of Abbotsford’s wildly successful Crystal Gala organizing committee has a winning recipe, and the speed at which it disappeared when I brought it to the market for photographs validated everyone’s claims.
Sixteen years ago, this ambitious group of Abbotsford women felt a call to “raise a little money” for much needed equipment at our local hospital. Countless hours of volunteer labour and 16 swanky galas later, they have donated an astounding $1.8 million dollars to the now-named Crystal Gala Breast Health Unit, providing two state-of-the-art digital mammography machines.
Lepp Farm Market is so honoured to be able to partner with the Crystal Gala, in more ways than just sharing a recipe. For the last 4 years, the Gala has auctioned off a private cooking class at Lepp Farm Market, with instruction donated by Mission’s Chef Dez, dessert creations by the muchmissed Tina Bacon, and later Sue Wiebe, Mt. Lehman Winery’s fabulous wines, and limo services courtesy of

House price rise leaves condos, townhouses behind Detached home benchmarks up more than 10 per cent over past three years Jeff NAGEL Black Press
Real estate watchers say condos and townhomes in the Fraser Valley have been left in the dust by rising house prices, a fact largely lost in the public debate about the lack of housing affordability in Vancouver. “You don’t need a million to live in the Fraser Valley,” Real Estate Investment Network senior analyst Don Campbell told a recent forum in Surrey hosted by the Urban Development Institute, referring to the social media hashtag #donthave1million used to protest prices in Vancouver. He was one of several speakers who
pointed to the different market dynamics in the Valley and particularly the widening gap between the prices of detached houses and either townhouses or condos. “It’s really the detached house market that’s moving prices,” said Robyn Adamache, senior market analyst with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. She said that while Fraser Valley single family house prices have climbed 15 per cent since 2008 – a relatively sedate annual rate of less than three per cent – Valley townhouse prices are actually down five per cent over the same period and condo prices are down 14 per cent. “For townhomes and apartments, prices are still below the previous peak and
haven’t recovered since the financial crisis,” Adamache said. As a result of the two-track market, she said, buying a detached house instead of a townhome now costs roughly $300,000 more in the Valley, compared to $200,000 more in 2009. Prices in Abbotsford are lower than in other areas covered by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, but even here there is a growing disparity. In Abbotsford, the benchmark price for a single-family detached home in May was $464,900, compared to $229,000 for a townhouse and $150,600 for an apartment. The benchmark price for an apartment in Abbotsford has dropped more than
10 per cent over the last three years, while the townhouse benchmark has decreased by five per cent. The price of a single-detached homes, however, has moved in the opposite direction, increasing by 10.3 per cent over the previous three years. The market does seem to be correcting a little bit though; the last year has seen the benchmark price of both townhouses and apartments rise modestly faster than the five-per-cent increase for single-family homes. Adamache predicted the hot housing market of this spring will moderate heading into the fall and price gains will be closer to two to three per cent in 2016. -with files from Tyler Olsen

Warm weather poses challenges for gardeners Brian
Minter
Gardening Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a challenging year for so many plants in our gardens and landscapes but some situations need immediate attention. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re discovering, as never before, the true value of water in our gardens. What is also an issue is proper soil preparation for all plants as water stress shows up far more quickly in soils that were never properly prepared, and as a result, many plants will have great difficulty surviving. At this critical stage, with continuing record-breaking drought since February, how do we deal with this situation? Wisdom, observation and prioritizing where water is
needed most are the keys. We also have to respect rapidly changing water restrictions as regulated in every community. Trees that are under stress must get attention first. They are huge environmental allies that not only cool us but also sequester carbon, produce oxygen and collect pollution â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just for starters. When watering is allowed, we must get soaker hoses around the drip lines and water as often and as deeply as we can. This is especially true of shallow rooted hedging plants like cedars. Once you have watered, dig down to see how far it has penetrated into the soil. Wetting the top few inches is not adequate as you must get a good level of moisture down to the roots â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of life and death. Even when using drip systems, in this continuing heat we need to check for adequate moisture levels. Plants of any type in containers are particularly vulnerable. With our continuous
watering, we are leaching out most nutrients and creating starved plants. Slowrelease fertilizers, like Osmocote 14-14-14, help a great deal, but you will also need to supplement with a liquid fertilizer like 20-20-20, 15-30-15 or organic fish fertilizer, either 5-1-1 or 0-10-10. The food these fertilizers supply is critical to getting all your plants back into a vegetative cycle and putting on lush new growth. Mophead and lacecap hydrangeas are far more water sensitive than most plants and need a sufficient amount of water to prevent leaf and blossom burn. Rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias are all shallow rooted and they too need moisture to prevent leaf burn and extreme stress. Mulching them with 2 to 3 inches of fir or hemlock bark mulch helps retain moisture longer. Areas up against your home, particularly on the south and east side where you get
reflected heat, will need more moisture checks than those plants out in the open or in shaded locations. Watch for wilting or flagging foliage as the first sign of moisture stress and prioritize those plants. If water is scarce, divert water from your lawns to your plants. Lawns will recover from stress, while many plants will not. The idea is to water thoroughly and then let the plants dry out slightly between waterings. This is very important for hanging baskets as well. Remember: over-watering can be as bad as under-watering because roots begin to rot, from which there is no recovery. Water wisely. With these hot and dry conditions, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important to take the time and make the effort to look after all the plants in your garden and landscape as many have never been in such a water-stressed situation as we are experiencing now. Their survival is up to you.

the top up though, visibility is not nearly as good. Blind spots abound so be extra careful when navigating around the city. Regardless of engine size you have under the Mustang’s shapely hood, this rear-wheel drive coupe aka Fastback is a very agreeable car to drive. The cabin is quiet and welcoming. There’s room for four inside, but the rear seats should be reserved for those who are not as longlimbed. It can get pretty cozy back there, especially if you’re tall and push the seat all the way back. You could argue that any spot in the Mustang is a “good” seat. Top up or down. Whether it’s the roar of the V8 or the polite grunting of the 2.3L EcoBoost, Ford’s iconic coupe/convertible can be compared with wine. It continues to get better with age. The starting MSRP of the 2.3L EcoBoost Premium is $33,849. The starting MSRP of the Mustang GT Convertible Premium is $48,399. Visit www.ford.ca for more information.

Congratulations! on your
A small celebration was held at Ricky’s Restaurant in Mission to celebrate Ron and Marguerite’s 70th Anniversary. Reverend Bowie read from an “old Bible” that was used in the Anglican Church 70 years ago to perform their wedding ceremony.
After leaving the Army, Ron chose a career in logging at Chehalis while Marguerite stayed at home and raised their two children, Diane and Rick, and of course there was always a dog in the house. During their married life, they have honoured their vows, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, and both worked very hard to provide for their family and friends. Their love of camping, fishing and hunting, kept them busy for many, many years. They also loved travelling, and did so on many occasions. Time has now slowed them down, but their love is still strong and they are indeed growing old together.
Happy 70th
. . . Love, your daughter Diane Davies, son Rick and his wife Diane, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren.

Donnie
Mohindar Singh, PhD.
Don passed away June 25, 2015 in Tabor Home due to complications with pneumonia. Don was born in Fort McMurray, Alberta on December 22, 1938 to his predeceased parents Cecil and Ann U’Ren, he was also sadly predeceased by one granddaughter. Don leaves behind his wife Ida of 31 years, 3 children, 4 step children, 14 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews as well as 5 of his 7 siblings. Don’s life work was that of a tire man, taking him to places such as Princeton, Hope, Abbotsford, Mission, Chehalis and Canfor Forest Products. Known as the “Quiet Grandpa”, Don enjoyed a simple life. Loving the outdoors, camping, fishing and hunting were a must. He also had a passion for coaching minor hockey and baseball, which he did for many years until his untimely accident in 1995, and due to his care needs he has resided at Tabor Home for 19 years. The family thanks Elizabeth for her constant companionship and friendship to Don while at Tabor Home, as well as other staff members. A service in memory of Don will be held Thursday, July 23, 2015 at 5:00 pm at Yarrow Community Centre, 4670 Community St., Yarrow, BC.

We are saddened to announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother, Mohindar (Moh) Singh Rattan. Mohindar passed away at home on July 13th, and will be greatly missed and forever cherished by his loving wife Nalini; children Baljindar, Nav (Linda), Ravindar (James), Nik, and Chris (Sharon), grandchildren Ian, Paul, and Joe Rattan, Jina and Danielle Mousseau, Mark and Alec Mitchell, Raesha and Alyssandra Sellathamby; siblings Pauline (Tony), Herb (Kamlesh), Surjit (Doug) and Sarinder (Gurmit); many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends. Mohindar was the son of Chuck and Amar Rattan, and was born on April 7, 1934 in the village of Kapure, District Moga, Punjab. He was raised by his beloved grandfather Bapu Chanda Singh. Education was of utmost importance to Mohindar; he was educated at Takhanwadh, D. M. College in Moga, the University of British Columbia (B.Ed), and the University of Alberta (M.Ed and Ph.D). Bapu Chanda Singh first came to Canada in 1906. Over the years, Bapu was instrumental in helping his extended family and friends come to Canada. His beloved Mohindar came to Canada in December, 1957. After attending UBC, Mohindar taught in Prince George and Port Coquitlum. Mohindar moved to Alberta in 1963, where he taught in Wetaskiwin and at RDC in Red Deer. After taking early retirement due to illness, Mohindar and Nalini moved to British Columbia in 1994. Mohindar lived life well. He was loving, caring, affable and a good communicator. Mohindar cherished his friends and was always ready to visit, laugh, and enjoy the moment. He enjoyed golfing, camping, travelling and most of all, visiting family and friends. He listened well, and played a pivotal role in the lives of his many nieces, nephews and extended family. He will be missed by all who knew him. The family would like to thank the nurses and doctors on the CCU unit at the Abbotsford Regional Health Center for their kind and nurturing care of our father, and a heartfelt thank you to all family and friends who were so loving to our father A service for Mohindar will be held on Sunday, July 19th at 11:30, at the Fraser River Funeral Home, 2061 Riverside Road, Abbotsford. A Prayer service will follow at the Sikh Temple, 33089 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford.
