Deficit cited as nurses laid off at Menno Hospital Employees can re-apply with private contractor VOLUNTEER REACHES GOAL

Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

About 60 nurses have been laid off at Menno Hospital in an effort to reduce costs for the deficit-ridden facility, a 151-bed seniors’ care home in central Abbotsford. Staffing will be taken over by an outside contractor, SimpeQ Care, and the nurses can re-apply for jobs at the home starting Oct. 5. Karen Baillie, CEO of Menno Place, which runs Menno Hospital and five other care facilities, says the new jobs will “definitely be (at) a lower wage.” Menno Place has run a cumulative deficit of $1.62 million since 2011, Baillie said, and this is the latest in a string of cost-cutting measures which have included layoffs of 10 executives and many support staff. Bailie expects this decision will save $500,000. Before taking these savings into account, Menno Place’s expected shortfall for 2015-2016 was $294,000. The decision was announced to staff on Tuesday. The next day, some of the laid-off nurses, along with more than 100 other members of the B.C. Nurses’ Union, set up an “information line” in front of the home, carrying signs criticizing Menno Place. “It’s horrible. We have families to support, houses, mortgages,” said Doris Rettich, one of the laid-off registered nurses. “We’ll have to apply back and see if they would hire us … some of us have been working here for over 35 years, so it’s huge because we care for the residents. They’re like our grandmas and grandpas.” The nurses received between two and six months notice, depending on seniority. Menno Hospital provides “complex care” to its senior residents, many of whom have serious health issues and require 24-hour nursing support. Eleven Continued on A4

EUGENE REIMER MIDDLE SCHOOL Your Choice for an Excellent Middle School Experience

Robotics

Explorations Program

We are proud of our extensive engineering / robotics program at Reimer. We have 65 robots that all students in grades 6 and 7 will use during the year. Groups of two students work together to program their robot to perform specific maneuvers to accomplish tasks. They learn coding and computer programing skills. This hands-on learning captures the minds and creativity of our students. We have had excellent results at the BCIT GearBots Engineering Challenge - Skills Canada BC Provincial Jr Competition.

We provide a variety of hands-on learning as part of our Explorations program, which we call Encore. We offer cooking, visual arts, digital arts, and music for all students during the course of the year.

House Champions

Congratulations to Black House – you knocked off 2-time Champs Silver House! House events include intramurals, fundraising, academic contests, athletic contests, and participation in school spirit days and community events.

Student Leadership

Community Garden

Me to We Club

The Eugene Reimer “Me to We” club is part of our Student Leadership and Character programs – “Me to We” held a series of bake sales last fall and raised $167.00 for the Abbotsford Youth Health Centre.

Our students plant flowers, vegetable seeds, and vegetable plants. They tend the garden beds, pick the vegetables, and bring some food to the Abbotsford Food Bank as a donation from our school.

Intramurals

Foldscopes

Ms. Taylor introduced foldscopes to her grade 7 class as part of a study lead by Stanford University in California. The foldscope is a portable, flat microscope made from plasticized paper capable of magnifying small objects 140 times. Students looked at the water quality in local water sources around their neighbourhood and sent their findings and lab reports to Stanford.

Languages

We offer both French and Punjabi. We are the only middle school to offer two languages during instructional time. Students can explore both languages during their time here.

Reimer has a vibrant Leadership program called Character Crew. This year we will have about 40 students in the program. Highlights include volunteering to help at sports days at our feeder elementary schools, planning and running school spirit days, organizing and emceeing assemblies, going to district student leadership events, and fundraising for numerous organizations. The Character Crew, as you can tell by the name, is run closely with our Character initiatives in the school.

Music Presentations

Reimer has a school-wide intramural program at lunch where every student can participate and earn participation and victory points for their “House.” Intramurals runs year long and is extremely popular among students; often the gym bleachers are packed as students cheer on teams from their same House.

Reimer music students and staff are invited to many schools throughout the district to perform at their school assemblies. We sing, dance, play instruments, and inspire. We also host two amazing Divali and Vaisakhi celebrations that pack the gym.

Outstanding Results For Eugene Reimer!

Excellent Reputation The grade 8’s had another awesome time at camp this past Spring. Camp Elphinstone on the Sunshine Coast is an amazing place to experience nature and bond with each other as the year winds down.

Eugene Reimer has a comprehensive Intervention program for students who struggle to learn outcomes in English Language Arts, Reading Comprehension, and Mathematics. Every Child will be given prompt additional instruction if they need more time to learn key outcomes and skills. We are an RTI school because we care deeply about your child’s education. As you can see, many of our students demonstrated dramatic improvements with focused, additional instruction with our RTI program. Students who excel in Math and English will participate in our “Challenge” program to push their learning further!

Reading Comprehension

Assessments

We are proud to share that many adult visitors to the building, especially the teachers-on-call who come in when a teacher is absent, tell us how incredibly well-behaved our students are. They often tell us that they believe we have among the best-behaved students in the district. We are indeed proud of our students and our behaviour expectations.

Still awaiting answers in teen’s hotel death Representative for children and youth demands explanation Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

B.C.’s representative for Children and Youth says she is still waiting for an explanation regarding the circumstances that led to a teen in government care being placed in an Abbotsford hotel, where he plummeted to his death on Sept. 18. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond said she has demanded answers from the Ministry of Children and Family Development, but has yet to receive any. “The concerns expressed last week about young people placed in hotels continue to be serious issues for me,” she told The News.

about what happened here,” she said. The ministry has since confirmed that one other youth was living in a hotel at the same time as Gervais. Cadieux was not available for comment, but a ministry spokesperson said in a written statement that the other young person was provided with “caregiver support” during the hotel stay and has since been moved to “more suitable” accommodations. The spokesperson said the provincial director of child welfare has launched a review of Gervais’ case. “That process takes time as the entire case file must be reviewed and interviews conducted. Until the review process is complete and all information gathered, I am not in a position to speculate on consequences.”

full-time employees were laid off, along with 18 part-time and 32 casual. Fifteen are registered nurses, and the rest are licensed practical nurses. Menno Place, one of the region’s largest employers, has more than 600 staff at its six facilities, with funding provided by Fraser Health, the area’s regional public health authority. Katherine Hamilton, the Fraser Valley regional chair for the B.C. Nurses’ Union, said she’s convinced the new contractor jobs will be non-union, with few or no benefits. Prior to these layoffs, Menno Hospital was Menno Place’s only facility with unionized nursing staff – at the other five, nurses are represented by staff associations. Baillie said the pay at the other facilities was “very similar” to what is paid to Nurses’

Union members, but the non-union employees have fewer benefits. Baillie added that she was unsure whether SimpeQ would use unionized staff at Menno Hospital. “I don’t know that company and whether their people are unionized or not,” she said. A SimpeQ representative said some of the company’s facilities do work with unionized nursing staff. Prior to the layoffs, Menno Place management had also introduced an “attendance management” program, used to track sick days in an effort to reduce employees’ time off, and they have hired a contractor to try to reduce the amount of money lost on WorkSafe claims. Baillie said contracting out staffing was a tough, but necessary, decision to balance Menno Place’s budget. “We’ve basically

done everything we can think of. This was our last choice,” she said. “We hope this change will help make this operation sustainable for a long time.” Hamilton and the protesting nurses said the decision comes at a cost. “These residents are going to be devastated,” said Hamilton. “We don’t believe in contracting out.” During the protest, some nurses said they were told by Menno Hospital administration not to inform the residents about the staffing change. Baillie said the instruction was not to be “involving or disrupting” residents with regard to staffing issues. “In any care facility, about 85 per cent of the residents have dementia,” Baillie said. “To involve them just creates anxiety because they think nobody’s going to be there to take care of them.”

Green light for banquet hall Zoning for 600-seat facility approved in industrial area October 2, 2015

Laura RODGERS

Public Sessions on the City’s Financial Plan

In a contentious 5–4 vote on Monday, Abbotsford council rezoned land to allow a 600-seat banquet hall in an industrial area in west Abbotsford, planned to hold large events for the local South Asian community. Proponents said the hall is vital for Abbotsford’s growing IndoCanadian population, who now host the customarily large guest lists for weddings or milestone birthdays at venues far outside the city. Opponents say the building, at the corner of Marshall and Clearbrook roads, won’t fit in with its industrial surroundings, and they worry about parking and partiers overflowing from the property. Councillors Brenda Falk, Moe Gill, Patricia Ross, Dave Loewen and Kelly Chahal voted to rezone the property for the hall, with Couns. Les Barkman, Sandy

The draft 2016-2020 Financial Plan for the City of Abbotsford will be presented over the span of three days in sessions on: • Wednesday, October 7 (1:00 pm - 3:00 pm), • Wednesday, October 14 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm), and • Thursday, October 15 (1:30 pm - 4:30 pm). Sessions will be held in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium. There will be an opportunity for public input and questions at the end of each session.

Notice of Director Hearing Regarding issuance of Temporary Commercial Use Permit No. 1991 The Director of Development Planning will hold a Director Hearing at 3:00 pm, on October 8, 2015, in Room 235, at Abbotsford City Hall, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, B.C., under the provisions of the Local Government Act, to consider the approval of Temporary Commercial Use Permit No. 1991. At the Director Hearing, all persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed Temporary Commercial Use Permit will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the Temporary Commercial Use Permit that is the subject of the Hearing. The following is a synopsis of Temporary Commercial Use Permit No. 1991, and is not deemed to be an interpretation. A copy of Temporary Commercial Use Permit No. 1991 and relevant background documentation may be inspected in the Planning Services Division (2nd Floor), Abbotsford City Hall, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, B.C., anytime between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm Monday to Friday, excluding Statutory Holidays.

Blue, Ross Siemens and Mayor Henry Braun voting against. The 1,575-square-metre building, on a triangular lot, will have a light industrial space on the ground floor and the banquet hall above it. There will be 166 parking spaces on site, and a 1.8-metre fence on the border with adjoining properties. Satish Sharma, a representative of the lot’s owner, was pleased that council voted approval. “There was a huge support…a huge community came out to support it. We will be taking pride in developing this thing, and building something state-of-the art where people will have lifelong memories.” The land was previously zoned as agricultural, but it is now industrial with assembly use allowed. At a public hearing before the decision, many locals came to voice opinions on the project. Numerous South Asian residents

spoke to the hall’s community importance. “We cannot sit back and have half the East Indian community drive to Surrey,” said Gary Tiwana, an Abbotsford realtor. Dan Provost, president of New World Technologies, an adjacent industrial business, opposed the project because he doesn’t think it fits in the area. “I’m not sure how it’s going to look and feel to the industrial community…,” Provost said. Braun said his position wasn’t against such banquet halls anywhere in Abbotsford, but he disagreed with this one because it didn’t fit with the city’s land use plan. The hall’s developers will now need to submit a detailed plan for the project “This may be the first hard decision we’ll have to make,” said Braun, adding that the city’s long-term vision for land use in Abbotsford may bring more tough choices in the future.

Candidates for new riding discuss social issues responsibility. The federal government has no constitutional authority to say there will be a new minimum wage,” said Vis. When asked about the legalization of marijuana, Scott said he feels pot is more accessible to children than alcohol. “You can go to any playground and you can get marijuana. There’s a reason for that – it’s a black market item.” He said criminals are profiting from marijuana, and it’s a “no-brainer” to take the drug off the streets, regulate it and put the money in government coffers. “We can enhance education, health care and whatever else we want.” Vis said, under the Conservatives, funding for health care has increased every year. “We have promised the Canadian public that by the end of the decade there will be $40 billion in transfers to provinces.” Green said a mental health and homeless strategy is one of the main platforms for his party, noting that homelessness and mental health often go hand in hand. “We found it’s more economical to deal with homelessness than it is to ignore it.” He is promoting a housing-first strategy, which focuses on first getting the homeless into shelter and then dealing with the issues that put them on the streets.

Social issues were up for debate on Tuesday night as five of the six candidates running in the Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon riding attended an all-candidates meeting hosted by Mission Community Services Society (MCSS). Topics at the Clarke Theatre ranged from missing aboriginal women to help for veterans, and disabled programs to infrastructure. A question from the audience regarding road repair for Lillooet, led to a brief debate on infrastructure: Liberal candidate Jati Sidhu said his party will spend $125 billion on infrastructure, and the party is “committed to build new roads, build new bridges and build new schools.” Conservative candidate Brad Vis said the Conservatives have invested $3.5 billion in infrastructure funding in B.C. “We’ve made record investments in this program and all of you see that day to day.” He cited the Port Mann Bridge, Alex Fraser Bridge and improvements to the Sea to Sky Highway and the Mission Bridge as examples. When asked about his stance on holding an inquiry to investigate missing aboriginal women, NDP candidate Dennis Adamson told the crowd his party was in support of the process. “We said that within 100 days of being elected, we would start that inquiry. It’s about time.” Arthur Green, of the Greens, said his party fully supports the findings of the truth and reconciliation commission. “The Green Party will implement those findings and will stand with First Nations governments,” he said, adding the Greens will call for an immediate national inquiry for murdered and missing indigenous women. Sidhu said domestic violence is five times higher among aboriginal women, and over the past decade, thousands have gone missing.

OF THE WEEK

City to shut down pot dispensaries

In a cost-control measure, nurses have been laid off at Menno Hospital and can reapply with a private contractor. Do you agree with this action?

Before the mayor does anything so brash, he should read up on the benefits of marijuana for many ill people, including people with cancer, who cannot use any other medications that make them sick. I can’t see why it is worth his while to shut this down. Paula Bourque

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED: The Conservative government has pledged to accept 10,000 more Syrian and Iraqi refugees over four years. Is that enough? 247 responded:

It’s called the “rule of law.” People and government can’t pick and choose which laws they wish to enforce, based on their personal preferences. By faulting the city for enforcing the law, you are usurping the citizens’ right to make the laws that govern them.

Tree monument in place Unveiling ceremony Saturday in Friendship Garden Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The Golden Tree statue is now in place in Abbotsford’s I n t e r n a t i o n a l Friendship Garden after a difficult start earlier this week. The project, created in memory of three female farmworkers who were killed in a 2007 crash on Highway 1 in Abbotsford, was put in place Tuesday afternoon with the help of ACL Crane Service. An unveiling ceremony for the monument takes place this Saturday at 11 a.m. The Friendship Garden is located on the north side of Clearbrook Library (32320 George Ferguson Way). The Golden Tree honours Sarbjit Kaur Sidhu, Amarjit Kaur Bal and Sukhvinder Kaur Punia. They were among 14 workers who were in a

The performance takes place Saturday, Oct. 3 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at SippChai Café (11-31205 Maclure Rd.). Discovering the fiddle at a very young age, Kai and Lia Gronberg found toe tapping and upbeat fiddle music to be a welcome break from their classical musical training. Fiddlin’ Frenzy has released three albums and performed at numerous events and competitions, including the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and the Canadian Grand Masters Fi d d l e Competition in Ottawa.

Things got off to a rocky start on Monday in Mission, when the statue fell off the truck that it had been loaded on and crashed onto the road, injuring two people. But the installation proceeded the following day in time for the scheduled unveiling this weekend. The Golden Tree was funded through $280,000 in donations, including $40,000 from the United Food and Commercial Workers, $30,000 from WorkSafeBC, $20,000 from Vancity and an $80,000 contribution from the provincial government.

Parents of students in the Abbotsford school district are appreciative of teachers, staff and administrators, but say more must be done to increase discipline and orderliness. Those are some of the results of an online survey of parents conducted earlier this year by the district. Some 1,900 people took part. Parents were asked open-ended ques-

tions about their feelings about their children’s schools. The results were grouped into categories, and parents could signal which opinions they agreed with. That feedback will be broken down on a school-by-school basis, but administrators presented district-wide results to the board of education at its meeting last Tuesday. Trustees heard that the dominant theme was one of apprecia-

tion for district employees, with about 2,200 positive comments recorded, with around 600 concerns. On the flip side, negative comments far outweighed the positive when it came to “school and class management,” with concerns also raised about “school facilities and resources.” The feedback from parents will influence how the district goes about its daily business, superintendent Kevin Godden told

The News. “It’s absolutely essential that we talk to them about how our schools work and how we can make them better.” Godden said parents appreciate the “caring attitude” staff have for kids. “The biggest thing I got from this is we have amazing staff, teachers, leaders and support staff. Our parents recognize that.” But some parents say that could improve at their child’s school, he said. “It’s not universal across the system. On the one hand, they tell us the teachers are caring … and are committed and dedicated. But they’ve also said, ‘We want more of that.’ “Parents are legitimately concerned, as they should be, about safety and orderliness of our schools.” Looking deeper into the survey, Godden said parents were requesting more discipline in certain schools. He said administrators at those specific schools will be able to use the results from the survey to respond. The concerns about facilities focused on parking issues and access during dropoff and pick-up of kids, although some took issue with classroom placements and sizes. “We have to do some work in understanding what those concerns are, and we’ll do our best to address them,” Godden said.

Felger convicted of pot trafficking in second trial Based on drug charges from May 2009 Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

7202776

Pot activist Tim Felger has been convicted of two offences following his second trial for drug charges laid in Abbotsford in 2009. Felger was sentenced Sept. 18 in B.C. Supreme Court on one charge of possession for the purpose of trafficking and one count of trafficking in marijuana. Five other trafficking charges were stayed. Felger was given credit for six months of jail time already served and will serve no further time. He has also been given a lifetime firearms ban. His co-accused Natasha Healy was given an absolute discharge on one count of trafficking. This means that, although she was found guilty on that charge, she will receive no sentence and the offence will be removed from her criminal record after one year. The charges were laid when Felger operated his former Da Kine store on Essendene Avenue in Abbotsford. Felger and Healy were acquitted at their first trial in 2012. Felger’s lawyer successfully argued that undercover officers breached his client’s charter rights when they trespassed on the premises by ignoring posted signs that stated “no police officers allowed in the store without a warrant.” Those officers had purchased marijuana inside the store on five separate days and also

observed other people buying pot. They then used that information to obtain a search warrant, which led to Felger’s arrest and charges in May 2009. The first trial judge acquitted Felger and Healy, saying all the

to individuals, the sign did not entitle Felger to those privacy rights. They ruled that the police had not been intrusive and did not obtain any information that was not readily available to the public, and a new trial was granted.

evidence had been collected illegally. The Crown appealed that decision and won a new trial, with the three judges on the B.C. Court of Appeal in agreement that although the charter provides a “reasonable expectation of privacy”

Rental aid eyed as housing cost relief tool

d Sports

Abbotsfor

Province mulls reform of home transfer tax Some of the money raised through a potentially higher property transfer tax on luxury homes could be funneled into incentives to build more rental housing, Finance Minister Mike De Jong says. De Jong recently said he’s considering a third increment of the property transfer tax to collect more when highend homes change hands, and use the proceeds to help combat unaffordably high housing costs. But he has been cautious about how to go about dispensing relief, noting that aid to entry-level homebuyers could backfire and simply push prices even higher. “If all you do is create more demand, and supply remains constant, you’ll have the opposite effect of what you want – you’ll drive the cost up,” de Jong said in an interview with Black Press. He said rental con-

struction incentives could be one piece of the puzzle. “Is there a way to also encourage the construction of more and new rental housing – that’s very much a part of this conversation,” de Jong said. He made the comments after a panel discussion at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, where he asked mayors and councillors whether relief should be focused on firsttime homebuyers, and whether it should go towards the purchase of any housing, or be targeted to increase the supply of new housing. He said most community leaders seem to support the idea of reforming the property transfer tax in a way that helps young families get into the housing market. De Jong reminded municipal politicians that they control zoning and therefore have the power to increase den-

sity and the number of homes available, applying downward pressure on prices. The property transfer tax charges one per cent on the first $200,000 of the price and two per cent after that. When a $600,000 home sells, $10,000 flows to the government. De Jong noted the $200,000 threshold where the tax rises to two per cent hasn’t been changed in 30 years. Increasing that would reduce the bite of the tax at the lower end of the market. Another potential lever is the exemption for first-time home buyers – they don’t pay the tax on the first $475,000. Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association CEO Bob de Wit said he’s concerned the government’s idea of a luxury increment on the transfer tax could disrupt the housing market. “To a lot of one- and two-income families, a

$1 million or $2 million home is not super luxurious. It depends where they charge the premium.”

Home builders and realtors would prefer to see the province dismantle the property transfer tax altogether.

Melding martial arts and anti-bullying Debut event brings Royce Gracie and Carol Todd to Abbotsford Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

Anti-bullying and armbars might not be a natural connection but the first-ever Power of Martial Arts aims to bring the two together under one roof. POMA, coming to the Abbotsford Tradex on Nov. 7 and 8, aims to bring awareness to the issue of bullying in Canada. The event offers seminars promoting all forms of martial arts and speakers to discuss the subject of anti-bullying. UFC hall of famer Royce Gracie and Carol Todd, the mother of the late Amanda Todd, are two of the confirmed names for the event. Organizer Brigitte McKenzie said combining martial arts and anti-bullying is a natural partnership. “I think when any person’s confidence is challenged by others that any information they can do

Nov. 7 at 5 p.m. Gracie then is running both children and adult martial arts seminars on Nov. 8. McKenzie said having Todd and Gracie at the event makes a great fit. “It’s perfect because the whole concept has been right from the get go about martial arts contrasted with anti-bullying,” she said. She said she hopes to attract 2,000 people to the festivities over the two days. McKenzie added that she wants to make POMA an annual event and continue to make it grow. “Gracie is [Canadian MMA fighter] Georges St-Pierre’s idol,” she said. “If I could afford to have GSP come I would. We’re working on an angle to appeal to him for next year or a future year.” For more information on the event, visit powerofmartialarts.com.

to get more understanding is helpful,” she said. McKenzie said response to the event has been overwhelming, with martial arts clubs from all across the province coming to Abbotsford. “We’re going to have three martial arts rings,” she said. “And we’ve invited all the karate schools and jiu jitsu schools to have time on the mat to demonstrate their art forms.” Karate BC, KidSport, judo groups, jiu jitsu groups and dance groups are all scheduled to attend and perform. Demonstrations start at 10 a.m. on both days of the event. Todd speaks at the conference on Nov. 7 at 2:30 p.m. and the topic is “Respect and Kindness.” Gracie is set to talk about bullying and women in self defence before hosting a meet and greet on

Fire Marshals and Commissioners across Canada Deliver Unified Youth Fire Safety Campaign A Canadian edition of the National Fire Protection Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (NFPA) popular childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational series â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Learn Not to BurnÂŽ (LNTB), has been released by the Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners in conjunction with fire departments across the province and the fire and carbon monoxide safety web site, safeathome.ca. Teachers, pre-school educators and parents from British Columbia can benefit from free access to the made-for-Canada edition of the LNTB curriculum, to complement community Fire Prevention Week initiatives, October 4-10. Teachers across BC have been invited to download free Learn Not to Burn Lessons at www.safeathome.ca/lntb, and parents are encouraged to support the effort at home by using the online family fire safety activities. The online activities and in-class lessons dovetail with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fire Pre-

vention Week theme â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hear the Beep Where You Sleep: Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which reinforces the importance of being able to hear smoke alarms at night when families are sleeping. On the web site and in the classroom, children aged 3 to 8, learn how to recognize the smoke alarm beep, what to do when it sounds, the fundamentals of a Home Fire Escape Plan, and how to tell between things that are hot and cold. The lessons are recommended by Curriculum Services Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learn Not to Burn has long been recognized as the top fire safety educational program for children,â&#x20AC;? says Naomi Yamomoto, Minister of State for Emergency Preparedness, British Columbia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The introduction of the new Canadian edition is exciting, with the curriculum enjoying wide scale distribution into Canadian classrooms, daycares and households.â&#x20AC;?

safety features such as talking alarms for the bedroom.â&#x20AC;? The Learn Not to Burn National School Outreach runs all October long, and culminates on Sunday, November 1st at 10 am with the Great Canadian Smoke Alarm Test, when families across Canada are encouraged to test their smoke alarm, where applicable, in conjunction with time change weekend and register their success online.

Thunderbirds lose to Okanagan Rockets Costly third-period showings for Thunderbirds Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

It turned out to be a winless weekend for the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds. The British Columbia Major Midget League team participated in the annual showcase weekend in Richmond on Saturday and Sunday and couldn’t solve the Okanagan Rockets. The Thunderbirds allowed a 4-1 third-period lead slip away on Saturday and settled for a 4-4 tie. Abbotsford’s Zac McKee scored a pair of goals in the tie, and local product Kyle Davis added a goal and an assist. Third-period issues plagued the Thunderbirds again when they met the Rockets on Sunday. The teams were tied at three in the third period but the Rockets scored three unanswered goals to win 6-3. Abbotsford’s Jake Mulder had a goal and an assist in the loss, with Davis picking up an assist. The Thunderbirds’ record stands at one win, two losses and one tie and they are in seventh place in the 11team league. Fraser Valley plays on Saturday in Coqutilam against the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs and then

hosts the Chiefs on Sunday at 9:45 a.m. at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre. For more information on the team, visit fvthunderbirds.com.

The club has long supported the Community Recycling Program, having raised funds to purchase a cardboard compactor in the late 1980s. The club also purchased and erected the greenhouse in 2007 and donated funds for the education centre.

Question of the Week

Getting to BMW’s techno core in the Big Apple The extremely rigid body structure is a ground-breaking marriage of steel, aluminum and carbon-fibre (core) members. The end result is a 7 Series with a much lower centre of gravity and close to perfect front/rear weight distribution. The 750i xDrive and 750Li xDrive editions will soon be arriving in Canadian BMW dealer showrooms. A BMW 750i xDrive model will have a starting MSRP of $113,900, and a long-wheelbase 750iL xDrive at $117,900. Pricing, which should be lower, for the 740 editions will be announced closer to market launch next year. A redesigned 4.4 litre V 8 engine with TwinPower Turbo technology can produce 445 hp and rocket a 750i to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds (according to BMW). It’s teamed with an eight-speed automatic and a new version of BMW’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system in the 750i xDrive. BMW’s venerable 3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder engine, which now also features TwinPower Turbo technology, will power 740i xDrive and 740Li xDrive editions. A plug-in hybrid 740e xDrive will also join the model lineup in 2016. Its 2.0-litre gas engine is paired with electric drive unit that’s integrated into the eight-speed Steptronic transmission and it comes with a lithium-ion battery pack.

Got to admit, it was rear seat test drive to savour – and New York - The all-new 2016 BMW 7 Series is a sixth yes, I do love this job! generation edition of the brand’s big, flagship sedan.
