Homeless shelter expanded to 30 beds Facility on Gladys Avenue will add fourth storey, 10 more spaces Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

An extra floor – and 10 more beds – will be added to the low-barrier supportive housing project planned for Gladys Avenue. The new fourth storey expands the project from 20 to 30 housing

units, according to BC Housing. As a “low-barrier” facility, the project will provide housing to men who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, including those with active addictions to drugs or alcohol. Staff from Abbotsford Community Services will provide treatment and support services

within the building. Jenny Lee-Leugner, a spokesperson for BC Housing, said the bed count was expanded because “the province, in partnership with the city, determined that adding additional units to this project would be a timely and cost-effective solution to serving

community.” Lee-Leugner said the building’s capital budget will likely increase, though she didn’t release how much more will be spent. The project was initially pegged at $2.4 million, funded by BC Housing.

Abbotsford is taking an unlicensed marijuana dispensary to court. The city has asked for a court order to shut down a medical pot outlet on Clearbrook Road because it is operating without a business licence. The store is run by Weeds Glass & Gifts Ltd. and the Canadian Weed Cannnabis Society, both of which are led by Don Briere, a Vancouver-based medical cannabis activist and manager of several dispensaries across the province. As described in the city’s court filing, Briere applied for a business licence online in May, but the application was rejected because city bylaws ban marijuana sales. “Medical marijuana dispensaries are absolutely not permitted and care must be taken not to issue this license under any condition if this is what they are doing,” wrote a city employee in response to the application. The city refunded his application fee, and sent a demand letter on May 26 ordering Briere to shutter the shop in

Weeds Glass and Gifts is located in a two-storey building on Clearbrook Road. The city has applied for a court File photo order to shut down dispensary down. three weeks. On June 17, bylaw enforcement staff inspected the premises, and found it to still be in operation. Briere then contacted the city and told them the dispensary was being run by the Canadian Weed Cannabis Society non-profit, and therefore shouldn’t need a business licence. He brought documents to city hall — a lease, showing the storefront was leased to the so-

ciety, and a certificate of incorporation, showing the society was as a registered non-profit. He asked the city what else he needed to do to get around the business licence requirement. Briere was served another demand letter on Aug. 24, giving a final warning for him to close the shop within three weeks. The city never received an exemption application to operate an unlicensed business, the court filing says.

Bylaw enforcement staff then inspected the storefront on Sept. 24, and the dispensary was still operating. In previous comments to The News, Briere has said his stores only sell marijuana products to people with a doctor’s prescription. He argues that the dispensaries are good for the community because they do not funnel money to organized crime like the street drug trade. The Clearbrook Road

location is one of three dispensaries operated by Briere and his organizations in Abbotsford. Two others are on George Ferguson Way and South Fraser Way. City spokesperson Katherine Treloar said the city won’t comment on why it’s focusing on the Clearbrook location, as this is a legal matter. Briere has not yet responded to the petition in court, and could not be reached for comment.

For the record

Owner unhappy smart meter didn’t catch $5k water leak

In last week’s profile of Conservative candidate Ed Fast, the News incorrectly reported the government had already committed money for the widening of both Highway 1 and Mt. Lehman Road to the airport. No funding has yet been announced, although Fast says discussions have taken place at the federal level.

Leak wasted nearly half a million litres of water

New Patients Welcome!

Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

Despite a high-tech water meter with real-time monitoring, one Abbotsford property owner didn’t know his pipes were leaking until he racked up more than $5,000 in water fees — and sent over half a million litres of water down the drain. Darshan Sharma, who rents out a commercial property owned by his wife Nirmla on Montrose Avenue, was surprised to get a water bill over $500 two weeks ago. His building, currently rented to an antique furniture seller, has two toilets and three sinks, and water usage for the property has seldom exceeded $20 per month. When he called the city, they told him his next water bill was already over $5,000. He hired a contractor as soon as he could to replace the leaking water pipe, which cost close to $3,000. The city has a program to forgive large water bills for one-time leaks, and Sharma said they’ve told him his bill will likely be adjusted. The high bill was doubly surprising for him, because he thought his Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) water meter, which checks water usage every hour, would’ve caught the major leak before so much water was wasted. “How come nobody even bothered to call, when I’m losing so much water?” Sharma said. Abbotsford’s smart water meters were introduced in 2010, with the goal of reducing water usage through early leak detection and real-time monitoring. They use a radio frequency transmitter at each meter, from a company called Itron, which regularly sends information about each customer’s water usage to the city’s utility department. In a press release sent to water-indus-

Darshan Sharma stands above the sidewalk-mounted smart meter for his business property LAURA RODGERS Abbotsford News on Montrose Avenue. try news sources in 2011, then-mayor George W. Peary wrote, “With this new technology, leaks will be detected almost as soon as they start … residents will be notified almost right away which will save not only the costs associated with leaks, but assist with conserving the city’s water supply.” According to Paul Doucet, the Canadian account executive for Itron, their transmitters sent information directly from customers to a city’s utility department. On a central computer, software analyzes this information — and sends a leak alert if water usage never drops to zero over a set period. City spokesperson Katherine Treloar

said Abbotsford uses a three-day period for residential water customers, but the procedure used for commercial customers is “not the same.” Leak alerts are then used by the city to send leak notifications to customers. Some cities have online systems or automated postcards; Abbotsford uses letters. But Sharma is unhappy with how long it took for him to know about the leak — because of how much water was wasted. “I don’t want to lose any water, because we’re short water already,” Sharma said. If nobody [can] check the meter, what’s the benefit of the smart meter, then?”

The $2.4-million project is funded by BC Housing, a Crown corporation that provides housing support for vulnerable British Columbians. The project is being managed collaboratively by BC Housing, the City of Abbotsford, and Abbotsford Community Services. It is expected to be completed in 2017. The three partners recent-

ly signed a contract with Mierau Contractors Ltd. to build the structure. Janna Dieleman, community relations manager for Abbotsford Community Services, said the increase in units will likely require increased staffing from ACS, though specifics are not yet available. New expanded plans for the building were presented to nearby residents and business owners at information

sessions on Oct. 10 and Oct. 13. Dieleman said reactions from the community were mixed. “A few might’ve been a little bit adversarial at the beginning … but [later] they were much more amenable to hear what we had to say,” she said. Lynn Perrin, one of the project’s neighbours, was unhappy with what she sees as a lack of consultation about the project’s expansion.

Perrin said she didn’t feel opponents were heard at the recent information sessions, and is worried the facility will bring street drug sales into the area. “The level of disrespect by all three parties towards directly affected neighbours at this stage of the project tells me that after the facility is open there will be even more [disrespect],” Perrin wrote in a letter to Abbotsford council.-

New tenants for the mansions of power ? Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand If you think the cost of housing in Vancouver is ridiculously high, there are two â&#x20AC;&#x153;rentalâ&#x20AC;? homes in Ottawa that carry the price tag of a nation. 24 Sussex Drive is the residence of the Prime Minister; Stornoway home to the Leader of the Official Opposition. If current polls hold, both will be getting new tenants following Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal election. Then again, as Christy Clark demonstrated rather ably in 2013, polls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including those right up to election day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can be neither definitive nor accurate. The day before the provincial election, the Vancouver Province ran a full-page picture of Adrian Dix with the headline

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This man could kick a dog and still win!â&#x20AC;? He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. On Monday, roughly two-thirds of Canadians will cast a ballot to determine who will occupy our official national residences, and my guess is that at least one will see a change. Currently, Tom Mulcair lives in Stornoway, while Justin Trudeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family occupies a rather classy rental just down the street. 24 Sussex Drive, also in the neighbourhood, was the childhood home of Justin for 12 years and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certain he, and the Liberal Party, is salivating over the distinct possibility that he could be its new resident in the very near future. From the looks of it, Mr. Mulcair and family will be moving residences regardless, for even though the polls may be deceptive, the game is between the Conservatives and the Liberals with one or the other forming government after Oct. 19. That means both Harper and Trudeau will be sitting at the head of the dining

table in our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residences of power, and until Monday night, no one has a true handle on which one it will be. Change, however, could be in the wind if the advance poll voting turnout is any indication. From what I have heard, the numbers casting ballots over the past weekend far outstrip previous turnouts. Either the Conservatives rallied their troops early, or the Anyone But Harper camp was successful. Needless to say, the possibility of a majority government for any party is slim to none, although, as British Columbia demonstrated in 2013, it is not an impossibility, and our province, the last to vote thanks to geography and time zones in this great nation of ours, could be the game-changer. In fact, Stephen Harper may be betting on it because on Sunday he will be spending time not in Quebec or Ontario, but right here in B.C. and, for all those sporting Tory Blue, at a special event in Abbotsford. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure of the reason for Abbotsford

to be one of his last campaign stops, since the main riding here is about as unlikely to change its political stripe as Elizabeth May is to form government. However, we do have the new riding of Mission-Matsqui etc. that may need some propping up. I also have to think that a riding or two on Vancouver Island and a whack of them throughout Metro Vancouver require some â&#x20AC;&#x153;prime ministerial rah-rahingâ&#x20AC;? as well to change what otherwise might become a major swing to the Liberals. Regardless of the end result of our national ballot on Monday, I have to believe the mansions of power in Ottawa will see some new guests.

Decision reversal sends wrong message from city As a long-time resident and business owner in Abbotsford, and someone who has seldom wanted to get involved in anything political, I find I am compelled to respond your article “City reverses rezoning of banquet hall.” I was more than disturbed/ shocked when I read the article. I am not an expert on the municipal act and I suspect it does provide for this “reconsideration” by Coun. Loewen. But the action as it is reported sends completely the wrong message to anyone wishing to do business in Abbotsford. It would send the wrong message to anyone, in any business, in any walk of life. And while a search of the internet did reveal other “reversals” in some Canadian cities, I certainly could not find anything about those reversals being done without consultation with the parties involved or publicly airing the intention well beforehand. I’d imagine that this has no precedent in municipal politics in our country. When the mayor and council approve a project – in this case, the banquet hall– and then unilaterally rescind approval without notice to the proponents, it is undemocratic, unfair and very high-handed.

The clear message from council is that they cannot be relied upon to stand behind the decisions they make publicly and that approvals can be rescinded without consultation, notice or discussion. They can also be done without revealing “why” there was a change of heart. This action sets a very dangerous precedent and the worst possible message to anyone wishing to do business in Abbotsford. I expect Coun. Loewen did his homework prior to the vote and, therefore, should stand behind his decision. The optics of such a reversal of approval suggest that there was some external pressure applied to change his mind after the vote had taken place. In am not in favour, nor disfavour, of the proposed project and make no comment as to its merit. I am merely commenting on my concern for the men and women who spend many hours and many dollars to develop projects in our city, only to have them reversed after approval has been given. It is impossible for these people to play the game if the score can be changed after the final whistle has blown and the players and fans have all gone home. Gregory Buck

Reserve right to complain Re: News editorial: “The reality is that those who don’t vote will have no right to complain.” The worn-out cliche that if you don’t vote, you have no right to complain is still getting rolled out by media and those who post online at abbynews.com. I am not voting in this federal election.

First past the post is a flawed electoral system, and really has no place in the 21st century. Of course, most in Abbotsford disagree, as evidenced by the highest percentage of opposition in any area of B.C to changing the way we vote provincially. Federally, the Abbotsford riding is a foregone conclusion.

Meaningful vote I concur with your Oct.14 editorial, “Be informed, then vote.” The public is often told to vote, but we’re not told that voting is actually a three-step process: 1. Get informed on the issues. Try to understand them from more than one point of view. 2. Evaluate the candidates in terms of the real issues. Try to be objective. 3. Then go vote. Your vote will mean something. Larry Flagg

Ed Fast will return to office. The popular vote means nothing, and my turning up to either vote for another lessthan-perfect candidate or party, or to spoil my ballot, is really just an exercise in futility. So, in desiring to be honest to myself and my fellow citizens, I’ve decided it’s better to not vote. That way

I am included in the large pool of disenfranchised Canadians who are having an effect on the topic of electoral reform as one way to get more people out to vote. I reserve my right to complain, and to not vote. I hope in four years, things will be different. Keith Hebert

Abbotsford News

A former Abbotsford man has been found guilty of sexual offences that involved a 15-year-old girl during a camping trip in 2011. Gilles Robert Leger, 47, was convicted Oct. 9 in B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack of sexual assault and sexual interference of a child under 16. Although the judge found Leger guilty of both offences, a conditional stay was granted on the sexual assault charge, meaning sentencing will be based on the sexual interference charge. A conditional stay can be granted when two or more offences derive from the same act.

A date for sentencing has not yet been set. Leger was charged in early 2012 for the offences that took place Oct. 1, 2011 during a camping trip at Gill Bar on the Fraser River in Chilliwack. During the trial last December, the court heard that Leger had taken the Abbotsford teen, who was there with some of her friends, for a ride on his ATV. He then sexually forced himself upon her when they were about 10 minutes away from the campsite. The girl reported the incident to police the following day. Leger lived in the Matsqui Village area of Abbotsford for several years and later moved to Langley. He is formerly from Moncton, New Brunswick.

Gilles Leger to be sentenced at later date

A 19-year-old man has been banned from driving for 10 years and will serve two years in prison in relation to a fatal rollover crash that occurred in Abbotsford earlier this year. Brandon Mitchell James Hayes was sentenced Oct. 7 in Abbotsford provincial court after previously pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing death and possession of stolen property over $5,000. Additional charges of theft over $5,000 and dangerous driving causing bodily harm were stayed. The crash took place just before 4:30 a.m. on March 10 in the area of Wells Line and Smith Line roads on Sumas Prairie. Hayes was driving a 2003 Toyota Tacoma pickup that had been stolen from Abbotsford three days before the crash. He was travelling west on Wells Line Road when he veered off the road and through a fence, coming to rest in the front yard of a home. Hayes was still in the vehicle when emergency crews arrived, as was a male passenger in the back seat, who was pronounced dead on the scene. A 14-year-old girl who had also been in the vehicle was found a short distance away and was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A third man was located in a nearby outbuilding and was not seriously injured. Police at the time described the crash as “pretty catastrophic” and said it was fortunate there had not been more deaths.

Salary information released for UFV Criminal justice chair, international director among highest paid at the university Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

Over 375 faculty and staff members at the University of the Fraser Valley made more than $75,000 last year. Aside from the school’s senior executives, top earners included the director of international education, a senior research chair in criminal justice and deans of arts and health science. Altogether, the university with campuses in Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack and Hope paid over $69 million in employee compensation for the April 2014March 2015 financial year. The executive director of international education, David McGuire, earned a salary of $130,248, plus expenses of $61,611, making his total compensation the school’s third-highest, just after presi-

dent Mark Evered and provost Eric Davis. His pay rose significantly since 20132014, when he made $105,194 in salary and $40,843 in expenses. McGuire joined the school in 2013, and previously spent over a decade working in higher education in Korea. Since 2013, international student enrolment at UFV has increased 38 per cent, keeping pace with a province-wide push for more international recruitment. UFV’s highest-paid academic is Irwin Cohen, the senior research chair in criminal justice and crime reduction. Cohen received $161,551 in salary and $15,653 in expenses in 2014-15. That’s $15,270 more in total than he made in 2013-14, when Cohen received a promotion mid-year, filling the position left open when Darryl Plecas left to become the

MLA for Abbotsford South. The position is jointly funded by UFV and the RCMP, and has covered topics like security at the Vancouver Olympics and how to best police marijuana grow-

ops. Other high-paid academics were Jacqueline Nolte, dean of the college of arts, who made $170,691 in 2014-2015, and Joanne MacLean, the dean of health science, who received $170,301.

Fellow deans John English, of applied and technical studies; Lucila Lee, of science; Rosetta Khalideen, of professional studies; and Susan Brigden, of access and continuing education, all re-

ceived over $150,000. On the administrative side, the highest earners included senior executives like Davis, with $199,668, Jody Gordon, vice-president students, with $189,493, and Peter Geller, as-

Youth stabilization unit YOU ARE GOING delayed until 2017 TO VEGAS!!!

Girl’s Night @ The Museum

CAPSU will add 10 short-stay psych beds

Jeff NAGEL Black Press

It will take longer than originally thought to open a new 10-bed unit in Surrey to stabilize potentially suicidal children and teens in mental health crisis. Fraser Health had aimed to open the new Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit (CAPSU) by the fall of 2016, but that estimate has been pushed back to spring of 2017, due to a wait for provincial approval. Once open, the state-of-the-art unit will take children and youth aged six to 17 who are in crisis with acute psychiatric problems for short stays of five to seven days. Fraser Health is home to more young people than any other health region yet it has no shortstay stabilization unit for youth. Children in crisis must instead go to a six-bed unit in Vancouver at B.C. Children’s Hospital, if it’s available, or else they’re treated in a hospital pediatric ward or in emergency. Adolescents can go to the adolescent psychiatry unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH)

or one of the adult psych units, which is not ideal. The $4.7-million CAPSU unit will serve the entire region, nearly tripling the province’s capacity to deal with kids in crisis. It will be built in the old emergency department of SMH. Contributions of $1 million from Cloverdale Paint and $300,000 from Coast Capital Savings through Surrey’s hospital foundation are to enhance the facility with decor, furnishings and other components beyond the basic budget. The foundation has a target of $2 million under its Kids Mental Health Matters campaign at championsforcare.com. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15to 24-year-olds in B.C. after car crashes. B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil said Fraser should reopen an adolescent psych unit in Abbotsford that was shut down in 2009. “Fraser Heath has repeatedly stated the new teen mental health unit in Surrey would be open in 2016,” Duteil said. “Telling youth and their families who are

in crisis that they’ll have to wait a year and a half for a bed is not safe patient care.” Fraser spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the adolescent psych unit in Abbotsford was underused and youth who needed it could be treated at Surrey’s adolescent psych unit. So the Abbotsford unit was converted to an adolescent day treatment program. She said the CAPSU unit will be a significant improvement when it opens, but rejected suggestions youth mental health services are unacceptable in the meantime. An Abbotsford mother with a suicidal daughter in need of inpatient care spoke out at a Fraser Health board meeting last month, demanding swifter action. A coroner’s inquest is planned into the suicides of three people – one of them a 19-year-old – who took their lives after being released from Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Fraser Health hospitals have seen the number of emergency visits by young people with mental health problems double over the past five years.

Construction site sex assault conviction Woman collecting rocks inappropriately touched Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A 57-year-old man has been convicted of

sexual assault for an incident over a year ago in which he twice fondled a woman’s breasts while she was

collecting rocks at an Abbotsford construction site. The ruling against Harjinder Singh Gill,

57, was made Oct. 1 in Abbotsford provincial court. His sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 9.

The court heard that Gill did not know the 33-year-old victim at the time of the assault on Sept. 13, 2014. The woman testified that on that morning, she and a friend had gone to a lot, which was then vacant, at the northeast corner of Trethewey Street and Simon Avenue to collect rocks, a hobby of hers. The complainant said she and her friend were in different areas of the large property when she began preparing to leave a few hours later and was gathering up the two large bags of rocks she had collected. The woman testified that she was approached by Gill, who offered to help her with her sweatshirt, which was draped over her shoulders. She said that as he reached to grab the shirt as he was facing her, he brushed the back of his hands against her breasts

and pressed on them. The woman told him to stop and backed away from him on her bike. Gill then came around to the woman’s left side and insisted on fixing her sweatshirt. As he put the sleeves over her shoulders, he grabbed her breasts and squeezed, “like testing the ripeness of a cantaloupe,” the woman testified. She then rode to a friend’s house and called the Abbotsford Police Department (APD), who told her to come by in person to file a report. On her way there, she went back to the construction site because she was worried about the friend she had left behind. Gill was still there, and the two friends proceeded to the APD. Officers went to the construction site, located Gill and arrested him. At his trial, Gill testified that he accidentally came in

contact with the woman’s breasts and it was neither intentional nor for a sexual purpose. During cross-examination of the victim, his defence counsel suggested that the woman had been mistaken about the intent of the incident because she suffers from a social anxiety disorder, resulting in “super sensitivity” to certain situations. It was also suggested that the woman had gone to the construction site “looking for some action.” Two police officers testified that Gill appeared intoxicated and was holding an open beer when they arrived on the scene but, during this testimony, Gill denied he had been drinking. Judg e Kenneth Skilnick did not believe Gill’s testimony, saying his statements were often contradictory.

A 55-year-old Abbotsford man is facing numerous charges after dangerously driving a stolen truck and trailer through Fort Langley streets just after the annual Cranberry Festival wrapped up on Saturday. Around 5:20 p.m., an integrated traffic division officer tried to pull over a Chevy pickup truck with an empty trailer for having a stolen licence plate. The driver of the truck sped away, according to Langley RCMP. At the time, police noted there were a lot of people on the roads following the festival, which usually draws around 60,000 to the village.

The Air One police helicopter was able to catch sight of the truck, and Mounties put down a spike belt on Glover Road. The spikes did the trick and the man was arrested by 6 p.m. without further incident. A search of the truck after the arrest found crack cocaine and a small amount of marijuana. Police said the man didn’t have a valid driver’s licence and no insurance on any vehicle. He is being charged with dangerous driving, possession of stolen property, and tampering with a vehicle registration number, among a host of other charges. He was released from custody shortly after his arrest with a promise to appear in court at a later date.

Trial date set for officer BUFFET Cop accused of leaking information to dealer BRUNCH

Vikki HOPES

Abbotsford News

A trial date has been set for an Abbotsford Police officer accused, among other things, of leaking information to a drug dealer so that person could avoid arrest. Christopher Nicholson is slated to begin his trial on May 9 in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. Nicholson, who first began working with the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) in 2005, was charged in May 2013 with six counts of obstructing justice, three counts of breach of trust and one count of conspiracy to traffic a controlled substance.

He remains on suspension without pay from his job as the case proceeds through the courts. In addition to allegedly leaking information, Nicholson is accused of providing false information to other officers, who used the details to obtain search warrants for drugs in private residences. He is also alleged to have conspired with an informant to have drugs delivered to a residence and have other police officers execute a search warrant soon after. In February 2015, the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner

(OPCC) announced it was looking into 148 allegations of misconduct against Nicholson and 16 other APD officers. A number of the accusations related to the “integrity of statements sworn or affirmed before judicial officers in which authorizations for search warrants were obtained,” the OPCC said at the time. The OPCC does not lay criminal charges, but looks for infractions under the Police Act, and officers deemed to have committed wrongdoing face disciplinary measures ranging from a written reprimand to a suspension or firing.

Who is going to care for Aunt Mildred? Ian MacKinnon

to stand as committee, friends of the patient can also be considered. An affidavit from the proposed committee is required, setting out his or her relationship with the patient and providing enough background to the court to ensure that the court has confidence that the proposed committee would be a competent and trustworthy person to manage the estate. In most cases, the committee is required to post a bond with the court to protect against any improper usage of the patient’s estate. Once the committee is appointed, he or she has full authority to then deal with all of the patient’s assets. As such, the committee would have the legal authority to sell Aunt Mildred’s home, pay her bills, manage her investments, etc. There are times when committee applications can become contested. The patient, other family members, or friends may believe that the patient is still capable to manage his or her own affairs. The debate then in front of the court would be the level of competence of the patient. If incom-

petent, a committee is required. If still competent, the patient can obviously then still manage his or her own affairs. As well, committee applications can become disputed when there is a debate as to who is the proper committee. The court would then weigh the evidence presented by the applicants and decide who would be the best committee. If you have any elderly family members or friends who have reached the stage

These days, this is a familiar problem. Uncle John died a few years ago at age 73, leaving his wife (Aunt Mildred, age 73) behind. As the years pass, Aunt Mildred becomes less self-sufficient, and the extended family eventually decides to place Aunt Mildred in a seniors’ home. Thereafter, she slowly becomes less and less capable of taking care of her own affairs, and her extended family has many questions including: How can we sell Aunt Mildred’s home to pay for her care? Who can pay her bills? Who can manage her investments? The answer is found in the Patients Property Act [RSBC 1998] c. 349. This act allows family members, or friends, to apply to the Supreme Court of British Columbia to appoint a committee of the estate and person of any adult declared incompetent by the courts (referred to as the “patient”). On any such application, two medical doctors must offer opinions that the proposed patient is, by reason of mental infirmity arising from disease, age, or otherwise, or disorder or disability of mind arising from the use of drugs, incapable of managing his or her affairs. In most cases, the proposed committee is a younger family member. Failing family members agreeing

Warehouse co-ordinator Lynden Pennell shows where shelves are normally filled in the Food Bank warehouse on Progressive Way.

TOGETHER WE GIVE HOPE TO THE HUNGRY. . . The Abbotsford Community Services’ Food Bank is asking for the public’s help to fill its shelves as it faces a crisis situation. Manager Dave Murray said the shelves are emptier than he has seen them at this point in the year, at a time when the facility is normally starting to prepare for the busy Christmas season. He recently had to spend $20,000 to purchase essential non-perishable food items such as pasta, rice and beans. It’s not uncommon for the food bank to have to spend up to $5,000 on these types of items during slow periods, such as during the summer, but Murray said it’s the first time in his 16 years at the facility that he has had to spend

that much.

head start this year.

Another first for food bank staff and volunteers is that they are running out of canned soup – usually one of their most commonly donated items.

He said although the food bank also reached a crisis point last year, that wasn’t until November, and the shortage of items wasn’t as pronounced.

The shelves designated for this product are usually filled, with boxes waiting on the sidelines. Now, the shelves are either empty or nearing empty and there are no spares, either at the main food bank facility on Essendene Avenue or at the warehouse on Progressive Way.

Murray speculates that the economy has continued to impact the amount of disposable income people have to contribute.

Murray said that usually at this time of year, volunteers are already working on preparing food hampers for Christmas, but there hasn’t been enough spare food available to get a

“Their dollars just aren’t going as far,” he said. Murray said the pressures are compounded by more demand for service, with the food bank serving about 10 per cent more people now – about 4,000 each month in total – than it did a year ago. Anyone wanting to donate food can do so by

dropping off items at the food bank (33914 Essendene Ave.), Real Canadian Superstore, Save-On-Foods, Safeway and The Abbotsford News office. Also, watch for your food bank donation bag, sponsored in part by a generous donation from Columbia Cabinets. Bags will be delivered in select areas by Abbotsford News carriers on Friday, October 30th. The five most-needed items are: rice, peanut butter, canned meat, canned vegetables and canned soup. Other needed items include: pasta and sauce, flour, sugar, oats and cereals. For more information, call 604-859-5749 or visit abbotsfordfoodbank.com.

Dental Volunteer As a Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) Christina takes X-rays, polishes teeth, conducts pre-examinations before the dentist sees the patient, cleans and sterilizes the instruments, assists patients and dentists with whatever is needed. “It feels good to help the community by doing something useful and everyone is so grateful; the patients, dentists and all the Food Bank staff. I’m getting so much experience by working with lots of dentists who each have their own way of doing things.” Christina and her family were Food Bank clients until both she and her husband secured employment. Things were going along pretty well but after she was injured, the family needed the help of the Food Bank once more. She went to MTI Community College to earn her CDA, but finding employment in the dental field has been tough. So she decided to volunteer at the Food Bank’s Free Dental Clinic. “I feel much better being able to give back here especially since they have helped me and my family so much.”

Incredible Donation Chris and Sarah received an amazing donation from a man that was formerly homeless. He is now working and has a place to live. His basic needs are met, so he gives.

Emergency Food Hamper Jennifer recently emigrated from South America with her ten year old son and 5 year old daughter. She was fortunate enough to have found full-time work in Abbotsford. Only months into the job, the company closed down, leaving her in a new country without work and with no way to pay her bills. Jennifer had to give up the apartment they had been living in and move temporarily into a friend’s home. As she began searching for work and somewhere to live, she also began looking into resources and found the Abbotsford Food Bank where she was able to receive fresh milk, eggs, yoghurt, chicken, bread, and produce as well as non-perishable food items for her family of 3. The Abbotsford Food Bank was a major help to her family.

Farm to Food Bank “I have dietary restrictions and the produce my family and I need, is too expensive to buy each week. I am so thankful to the farmers for giving to the food bank. Now my children are eating more nourishing food, and I am too.”

“I enjoy extending the respect that I would appreciate if I was in a similar situation. A smile goes a long way in promoting self-respect.” Ann

Basics for Babies The Starfish Pack Program “Three of our students suddenly “took off” last year as readers. All three were in Grade 3, two of the three were in the Starfish backpack program and all three received other interventions. What the three had in common was a lack of social and emotional capital to learn. They had low self-esteem, their home situations were uncertain at best and chaotic and even toxic at times, at the worst. Food security was one of the pieces for two of these kids that made a difference. They went from total non-readers in November last year to being almost caught up with their grade 3 peers in June. Remarkable. There were many reasons for their learning to read; we don’t know how much of an impact having food on a weekend made, both from a nutrition point of view and from an anxiety aspect. These boys went home on Fridays as providers, and that made a difference in how they perceived themselves. Thank you.” SD34 elementary school principal

Lisa is a single mother of twins under 2, with another baby on the way. She comes into the Food Bank for groceries, but just as importantly for the diapers, wipes, baby cereals, and jar food that are so necessary for her little one. The larger her twins grow, the more expensive diapers get, making it very hard for Lisa to make ends meet while surviving solely on income assistance and child tax. Recently, Lisa expressed to our volunteers how grateful she is for the provision of baby supplies at the Food Bank. “I don’t know what I’d do without the support from the Food Bank for diapers and baby food” she said. With another little one soon to be born, Lisa felt extra appreciative that she has somewhere to come to provide such practical support for herself and her kids.”

A PERSONAL STORY . . .

My husband and I had always provided for our 7 children and always had amazing Christmas holiday. My husband fell ill exactly one year ago, after Christmas. We began to struggle really hard and barely had food in the house. Some days we would skip ourselves so our kids would be full. My sisters started to help us here and there and that got us by. Then we started to see how we were becoming a burden to her and needed outside help. Someone close to us told us to go to the food bank and we thought ‘no way’ we have a house, we have a van, I don’t think we should

be going. Finally we had no choice. We qualified for both the food bank and Christmas bureau. But I still wasn’t willing to accept help from the CB. We sat our kids down and told them this year we may not be able to give them anything but they would have a gift from aunts and uncles. My kids just smiled and said its ok. But their eyes told us another story, we made the decision then and there to recieve help. A few weeks later our sponsor called to tell us they choose us and they wanted me know early so I wouldn’t have to worry. After that I still felt unworthy of help. The sponsor kept calling to see what else we needed. They gave more

than we even asked for. My husband and I were in tears I’ve never felt so blessed from strangers in my life. One day we would like to sponsor a family when we get back on our feet. My children were so happy and the sponsor didn’t even write their names on the presents. They told us we could write our names or from Santa. They didn’t want any credit. We were so humbled and greatful. We couldn’t help but invite people who didn’t have a Christmas meal into our home to share the meal we were given. Made me feel so good to be able to give back in a small way as well. ~ Sponsored Family

Business Matters

Small business in B.C. makes up almost one third of the province’s economy. As a result, it is imperative that the needs and concerns of this important sector are represented to senior levels of government when creating legislation and policy affecting the business community. As the “Voice of Business” it is imperative that we communicate on a continuous basis with municipal, regional, provincial and federal levels of government and act as an advocate, not just for our members, but on behalf of all business in the community. As an example, the Chamber approached the City with a list of specific initiatives to boost local business. This resulted in our participation in the “Mayor’s Task Force on Economic Prosperity” which delivered an Economic Development Action Plan to Council. One of the initiatives acted on in this report was the creation of a more autonomous Economic Development Department in the City to direct

business expansion and retention. More recently, the Chamber vigorously opposed preliminary changes to local ridings recommended by the Provincial Electoral Boundaries Commission. Our detailed submission to the Commission, which was echoed by the City and other stakeholders in the community, resulted in changes in the Final Report that will preserve our strong local representation in Victoria. As a member of the BC Chamber of Commerce, the Abbotsford Chamber is part of active advocacy to support small businesses, including: • The creation of and implementation of B.C.’s Small Business Accord; • Cutting red tape by taking thousands of businesses out of the MMBC recycling regulation and working to implement mobile business licences in regions across the province;

• Continued advocacy for lower municipal business taxes. These are just a few examples of action taken by the Abbotsford Chamber in its role as an advocate for business. Moving forward, the Chamber is working on a number of initiatives to create more engagement with members to identifying priority concerns and effective solutions to enhance the success of business in Abbotsford. Starting in October, watch for a new monthly Chamber publication titled “BUSINESS MATTERS”, which will discuss issues and ideas affecting business and detail the current advocacy activities of the Abbotsford Chamber.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:

Chamber Celebrates Small Business Month As B.C. marks Small Business Month this October, the Abbotsford Chamber is celebrating the vital role small businesses play in Abbotsford and in B.C. There were approximately 382,600 small businesses operating in B.C. in 2014, representing about 98% of all business in the province. Around 4 out of every 5 of these small businesses were micro-businesses with fewer than 5 employees. An estimated 1,010,800 people work in small business in B.C. - these jobs accounted for 54% of private sector employment in the province. B.C. small businesses generated approximately 33% of the province’s Gross Domestic Product in 2014, well above the national average of 30% and highest of the

provinces. More than three quarters of all businesses in the province are in service sector industries. In the small business service

sector, the largest concentration is in business and professional services, which in 2014 accounted for 22% of all B.C. small

businesses. “Small businesses make up a major part of Abbotsford’s business community and play a critical role in driving our local economy and creating jobs,” said Chamber President Josh Bach. “Small Business Month is a great opportunity for our community to celebrate these hard-working businesses that bring great ideas and entrepreneurial spirit to our city.” The Chamber encourages Abbotsford residents to demonstrate their support for small businesses by shopping, buying and eating local, and be sure to support your favourite small business by attending our Business Excellence Awards on November 26, 2015.

Local actors star in TWU’s Anne Frank Award-winning play to be performed in Langley this fall

Two open heart surgeries. One big need. Help us build a new BC Children’s Hospital. Please Give. 1.888.663.3033 beasuperhero.ca

Two Abbotsford actors at Trinity Western University (TWU) will perform in The Diary of Anne Frank this fall. Veronica Hargrave, starring as Frank, and Jenessa Galbraith, who both attend TWU’s School of the Arts, Media and Culture, will feature in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, running from Oct. 27 to Nov. 7 at the school’s Langley campus.

Narrations from Frank’s diary run through the play as it tells the riveting, inspiring story of Frank and seven others hiding in a cramped attic in Nazioccupied Amsterdam. “Anne and her family embody the resilience of the human spirit,” says Angela Konrad, the play’s award-winning director. “Even as everything else is taken away, no one can steal or kill hope. The profound hope

and faith in this story is, I think, one of the reasons why its popularity still soars – even after 70 years.” Performances will run Tuesdays to Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., with Saturday matinees at 2 p.m. A discussion with the cast and director will follow the Nov. 3 performance. For tickets, visit twu. ca/theatre or call 604513-2121, extension 3872.

UFV endorses female prisoner guidelines When parents are sent to prison, their children are often sentenced to suffering. That was the conclusion of a study by criminology and social work researchers at the University of the Fraser Valley last year. Now a coalition of researchers has released a set of guidelines that recognizes this and sets national standards for the correctional management of incarcerated women who are pregnant or in custody with children. The guidelines

were drafted by the Collaborating Centre for Prison Health and Education (CCPHE) at UBC. UFV participated as a member of the working group that developed the 15 guiding principles and eight recommended best practices for correctional facilities. In 2014, UFV published a study entitled In the Best Interests of The Child – Strategies for Recognizing and Supporting Canada’s At-Risk Population of Children with Incarcerated Parents. One of the main conclusions of the

study, which was conducted by faculty in the school of criminology and criminal justice and the school

of social work at UFV, was that having an incarcerated parent can have many negative financial, edu-

cational, emotional, developmental, and social consequences for a child over their life course.

MAIN EVENT

Halloween Haven As the sun begins to set on October 31, most people enjoy dressing up in costume and heading out to trick-or-treat. Halloween enthusiast Mark Latter is certainly glad they do. Every year he transforms his house at 33254 Terry Fox Avenue in Abbotsford into a haunted abode of ghosts and ghouls, all in the spirit of creating a fun and spooky night for young children and adults alike. When Latter and his wife moved to the neighbourhood 20 years ago, they were amazed at the volume of kids turning up at their doorstep on the big night. The area proved to be a Halloween mecca, and that’s when the light bulb went on and Latter knew he had to seize the opportunity to make the night extra memorable.

Together with his wife Kelly, they began setting up intricate displays in their front yard. At nightfall, over a dozen jack-o’lanterns, tombstones, evil witches, black cats, creepy characters, and skeletal figures turn their front yard into a graveyard. And none of those store-bought, pre-made spook tactics either – no, not at this address. Instead, a few trips to the local lumber yard plus some art supplies, and Latter is able to make all of his displays by hand. “The motivation in the growth of our yard display was the overwhelming and enthusiastic response from the trick-ortreaters and especially their parents!” says Latter. “It is very gratifying to hear the response to something new in the yard or the response from a first-time visitor.”

Each year he tries to up the wow factor by adding something a little funnier or more complex. In the end, he just hopes to create something enjoyable. His policy: fear doesn’t mean tears. “The first rule of thumb is that all of the display must be family-friendly; no blood, no gore, no dismembered limbs, just appealing to all ages,” he says. “That sounds counter-intuitive to a lot of people’s thinking regarding Halloween, but I don’t want the kids to be unnecessarily frightened or scared.” This year, Latter is taking a different approach in regards to their newest prop. “Our oldest son is getting married two weeks before Halloween – imagine that, where are his priorities?” jokes Latter, who

is making a prop for the wedding that will double as the new Halloween display. “Before you cringe, thinking what possible prop could be used for both occasions, well, you are just going to have to drop by to see!” The intricate display is set up Halloween day, and it’s certainly a family affair. Latter’s two sisters, his wife, kids and friends all help out six hours before dusk. “Everyone is certainly welcome to drop by, check it out, collect some candy, and make sure to say hi,” says Latter. “Over the years the Halloween displays have been getting better and better in the neighbourhood, so there’s definitely lots to see.” Latter’s spooky setup runs from 4 p.m. until 9.30 p.m. at 33254 Terry Fox Avenue.

warmwelcome Just because the temperature is cooling doesn’t mean you have to give up style for warmth and comfort. It’s easy to look sleek and modern in designs that are also practical. Start with one of the season’s hottest trends – a pair of leggings or skinny trousers in a neutral tone such as black or navy, and build from there. A great pair of ankle booties is a versatile addition. In brown suede, they can be paired with everything from leggings to a skirt and tights.

Then, add some colour to your top half by choosing a shirt in a bold solid or print. Because you have chosen a slim look for your bottom half, you can balance out the proportions by selecting a top that is less fitted. Add a long, loose vest or cardigan and some simple accessories – a long necklace works well – and you’re ready to go. Other hot looks for the season include “biker chic” designs – a sleek black leather jacket is always a hit – and the “sophisticated lady” in lightweight knit cardigans and delicate jewelry.

Spooky Halloween decorating ideas Halloween is a great time to explore your creative side, especially when it comes to decorating for trick-ortreaters or planning a party. Many special spooky effects can be used to create the scary, intimidating atmosphere you desire.

dry ice in any other liquid to create billowing plumes of vapour that add to the spooky effects. Just be sure to handle dry ice very carefully and make sure it is inaccessible to kids.

DRY ICE

Rent or purchase smoke machines, which can be found at party stores or big box retailers, to add to your eerie atmosphere. Dim the lights and have smoke rolling through the party room or by the front door.

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. It is a good coolant because it can reach temperatures below that of ice and it will not leave a puddle or damp residue behind. Dry ice changes from a solid to a gas with no liquid form, through a process of sublimation. Place dry ice in punch bowls or beverage glasses. Or use

to simulate the sounds and sights of a thunderstorm.

FAUX COBWEBS Purchase spiderweb kits at retailers or make your own with cotton. Pure cotton balls can be pulled apart and stretched over various items in the house to create a spiderweb effect.

The Farmer and the Foodie We did it! We survived a long, hot, dry summer and enjoyed the sweetest strawberries and tastiest corn ever grown. While Pinterest and Facebook posts are over-run with pumpkin everything, I think apples are the star of fall’s show. Did you know that Ambrosia, “food of the gods” apples originated in BC? A chance seedling found amongst the Jonagold apples in the Mennell’s Similkameen Valley orchard grew into a tree that soon had the workers devouring the deliciously sweet apples. Against all odds, the reproduced trees continued to bear consistently rosy-hued and honey-flavoured apples and in 1993 the Ambrosia apple was named and registered. BC’s own Ambrosia apples are now sold and grown worldwide, it’s low acid nature making it a children’s

favourite and the fact that it doesn’t oxidize, or turn brown, quickly means it’s perfect for a fruit salad or platter. The Mobile Juice Factory’s appearance this Saturday and Sunday from 9 am to 3 pm is one of our favourite events. Right before your eyes, this efficient machine presses our orchard apples into the freshest tasting juice imaginable. Pasteurized and sealed into 5 litre cartons, it doesn’t require refrigeration and is 100% pure Okanagan apple juice. Nothing else. Come enjoy watching this fun process and take advantage of this weekend’s amazing price of 50 cents s per pound on all our Osoyoos orchard Octob apples!

Huskies blank Skyhawks Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

The winning ways are continuing for the Abbotsford Middle School Huskies. The Huskies defeated the HD Stafford Skyhawks 47-0 on Tuesday to improve to a perfect three wins and zero losses so far in the Grade 8 football season. Karl von Einsiedel (two), Kevin Endozo (two), Robert Browning Jr., Ryan Street and Ethan White all scored touchdowns for the Huskies. Street and Carlin Dick were also each successful on twopoint converts. “A very complete team effort on both sides of the ball,” stated coach Shawn Mani. The players of the game were William Taggert on defence and Dick on offence. Also contributing on defence was Elijah Radke, who had nine tackles. The Huskies next take on Heritage Park on Monday at Panther Field.

Virtanen makes NHL debut Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

Los Angeles will always be a special place for Abbotsford’s Jake Virtanen after Tuesday. The 19-year-old made his NHL debut with the Vancouver Canucks in California, playing 9:18 and registering one shot in the first period. Playing on a line with Derek Dorsett and Brandon Sutter, Virtanen also registered three hits and one blocked shot. Vi r t a n e n ’s p a re n t s , Abbotsford residents Rainer and Brigitte Virtanen, also made the trip to see his first VIRTANEN time on the ice in the NHL. The Canucks next host the St. Louis Blues on Friday. Vancouver can play Virtanen in up to nine NHL games before they must decide whether to activate the first year of his entry level contract or return him to the Calgary Hitmen of the Western Hockey League.

UFV had a 2-1 lead late but the Spartans scored in the 85th minute to even the game up. James Najman and Kree Byrne scored the goals for the Cascades in the draw. The men improved to second place in the Pacific Division after the pair of results, with a record of five wins, three losses and two ties. It wasn’t quite the same story for the women’s team, which lost 2-1 to the Spartans last Friday in Abbotsford. The Cascades couldn’t solve TWU’s keeper until the 87th minute, when Danica Kump ended the shutout. “It was a good game,” said Cascades head coach Rob Giesbrecht. “I thought we

Cascades men collect four of six points got punished for a few mistakes that we made. Not many chances were created by either team – it was more of a fight in midfield. “But we kept pressing on. I’m proud of the girls for not quitting, proud of them for keeping on fighting, and we were rewarded with a late goal to make it interesting. We just kind of ran out of time.” The teams played again on Tuesday, with the Spartans blanking the Cascades 5-0. The pair of losses drops the women’s team to fourth in the West Division, with a record of six wins, three losses and one tie. For more information on the teams, visit ufvcascades.ca.

The MEI senior boys volleyball team is, so far, continuing the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trend of excellence in the sport. With all but three players graduating last year from its provincial championship squad, the team has reloaded for 2015, and thanks to a strong group of Grade 11s, they are off to a hot start. The team is 4-0 in league and ranked first in the province. They also went undefeated in their opening tournament, which included all the top-ranked AA and AAA teams in British Columbia. This past weekend, the Eagles finished second in the Panther International Volleyball tournament in Spruce Grove, Alta. This PIV tournament showing was significant as only the top-ranked teams from the western provinces and elite club teams from Europe are invited. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eagles won the tournament and in the 20-year history of the tournament, no defending champion had even reached the final in subsequent years. After defeating teams from Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan in pool play, the Eagles faced a team from Norway that was also undefeated, prevailing 15-9 in the decisive third set. The Eagles then defeated the top-ranked team from Alberta, William Aberhart, in the semi-final setting up a final against the top ranked team from Saskatchewan. Despite battling for every point, the Eagles ended up falling 25-23, 25-22 to earn the silver medal. This weekend the team travels to Kelowna for the Best of the West tournament which has 44 teams from around Western Canada vying for the title.

Bearcats, UFV hitting the volleyball court Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

A whole lot has changed since last year at Columbia Bible College (CBC). A new coach and only two returning players from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourthplace team means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear what to expect from the 2015-16 Bearcats menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team. After five stellar years on the court, including a national championship in 2011, Jason Warkentin is now the man on the sidelines. He said it will be a building year, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited to see what his team can produce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a year of transition for us, not only from a coaching perspective for me, but also for the players.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building a foundation for the future,â&#x20AC;? he said. Warkentinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two returning players are third-year Curtis Stelzer and second-year Tanner Johnson. He said he will rely on the pair for leadership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have the experience and know what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to train four days a week and then play two games on the weekend,â&#x20AC;? he sad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to help me transform these young athletes into college athletes, which is quite a bit different from high school.â&#x20AC;? The Bearcats compiled a record of 14 wins and 11 losses in the regular season last year, and then beat the UFV Cascades in round one of the play-

CBC eventually lost the bronze medal game to Vancouver Island University at provincials. Warkentin said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big year for the program, as the school is hosting the Pacwest

provincials and would like to win on home court. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitting into his role as head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole different perspective on the game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a player, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fo-

Cascades menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball coach Kyle Donen is ready for year two at the helm of the program and is expecting improvements from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifthplace club. Donen said a new offensive style is one of the bigger changes to the program for 201516. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be playing a faster and more aggressive style this year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a change we wanted to do and needed to do for our group and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been happy with the way weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking in pre-season.â&#x20AC;? There are six new players on the Cascades and Donen said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve fit in well. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be leaning on established veterans to help guide the ship.

cused on your position whereas a coach has to dip his toes into each position and create a system that works for everyone. It keeps me around the game I love, and I also like the mentorship aspect. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m helping to build guys both as volleyball players but also young men.â&#x20AC;? The CBC women look to improve after a winless season in 2014-15. They finished with a record of zero wins and 24 losses in Pacwest league play. Returning head coach Duncan Harrison will be leaning on players Katelyn Valgardson, Jodi Enns and Janelle Warkentin to lead them to victory. UFV Cascades

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offensively, Joel Kleingletink had a huge year last year and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the same this year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adam Chaplin and Connor Nickel are also big pieces for us. But I think we have a pretty wide range of guys offensively that will help us out.â&#x20AC;? Donen, who played post-secondary volleyball with the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack of the CIS, spent half a year as the assistant coach of the Cascades before taking over in 2014-15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a huge learning experience and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big advantage for me going into this year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m much more confident of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able Continued on A57

Question of the Week

Lincoln gets top MKX for power, comfort and safety Montreal, Quebec - The Lincoln brand provides. It can deliver up to 330 hp, has been on a sales revival roll of late, yet what’s most impressive about especially since we discovered that movie this engine is its silky, smooth V8-like star Matthew McConaughey is, and long performance with beefy torque output before anyone paid him to drive them, (up to 370 lb-ft), especially at low captivated by Lincoln vehicles. engine speeds. The carry-over base Well, he’s got another one to drool over engine is a 3.7-litre, 300-hp V6. now, the all-new Lincoln MKX. That said, MKX buyers will pay a hefty Like most The midsize premium utility segment, for the 2.7-litre twin-turbo vehicles in this class, premium where the new Lincoln MKX will circulate, engine. Pricing for a 3.7 MKX starts at numerous helpful represents a whopping 25 per cent of $45,890, but it jumps to $53,940 for all luxury market sales in Canada. That’s driver safety aids are the 2.7 EcoBoost version. Then again, a far bigger (percentage-wise) chunk of available for the MKX that’s still a bargain compared to Euro the premium auto pie than this segment competitors like a BMW X5 ($65,500 and include adaptive to $85,200) or a Mercedes-Benz GLE draws in the US.

number of operating factors. While I prefer a shift lever of some type, the pushbutton transmission selector on the dash does give the MKX interior a sleek, uncluttered appearance. The selector connects to six-speed automatic transmission (both engines) and shifts can also be made via paddles on the steering wheel. City/highway fuel economy is rated at 14.7/10.3 L/100km (3.7L V6) and 14.1/9.7 L/100 km (2.7LV6). Clever, under-console storage has also been created and super comfy 22-way adjustable front seats are a new option. These seats come with an active motion massage feature for the upper legs and lower back via six adjustable air bladders. They also come with fourway power head restraints and power thigh extenders. If parking is not your favourite pastime Lincoln MKX has a couple of new technology solutions. An enhanced park assist system, offers 360-degree camera coverage to provide a birds-eye view of the vehicle (and up to almost two metres all around it), making any low-speed parking situation easier. An even more advanced “auto-pilot” parking system, with 12 ultrasonic sensors, can now guide MKX into a perpendicular parking stall, in addition to parallel parking assist and park out assist. Like most vehicles in this class, numerous helpful driver safety aids are available for the MKX and include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping system, blind spot information system and cross-traffic alert. A new pre-collision assist system helps avoid or lessen the severity of frontal impacts with another vehicle, or a pedestrian.

August 29, 1940 to September 20, 2015 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Helen Hutchinson at the age of 75. While she was battling many health issues over her lifetime, she did so with tenacity, perseverance, and strength of character. She taught us the values of hard work, dedication, and loyalty. She was born in Marcelin, Saskatchewan in 1940 to parents Alma and Alfred Erdman. She came to BC as a teenager to make a life for herself, eventually moving to Vancouver. There she met Cam, married in 1961 and started her family. Moving to Abbotsford in 1969 to their dream house, Helen and Cam became well known in the small community of Clearbrook. The family moved to England for nearly 3 years in the late 1970s and Helen set up a home for the family there as Cam was often at sea. In her later years she was comforted by her puppies: Missy then later by Sissy and Muffy. Her caretaking role of Cam for 13 years, due of the ill effects of MS, was remarkable and devoted. However, she always found time to make calls to her sons and daughter-in-law, her brother Lorne and friend Joan. Helen was predeceased by her husband of 51 years (Cameron) and her parents. She is survived by her sons Brad (Grace) and Len (Crystal), as well as her grandchildren Crissy (Matt), Alyssa, Mike, Damien, Andrew, Jeremy, and great granddaughters Roxana and Camila. Her talkative nature, steadfast loyalty, and support to family will be missed. No service by request. Donations in her memory to the Little Paws Rescue Society appreciated. Psalm 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

HUNDERT Mel Mel Hundert aged 93 passed away peacefully on October 8, 2015. He is lovingly remembered by his family, relatives and friends. At his request no service will be held. In lieu of ﬂowers donations may be made to the Mission Hospice Society. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at:

Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home (604) 826-9548 www.woodlawnfh-mission.com

Shayne October 7, 1976 ~ October 11, 2015 Shayne was many things to many people; a son, a brother, an uncle, a nephew, a cousin, a lover and a friend. He was also a fierce competitor, a performer, an adventurer and a thrill seeker. Shayne grew up in Abbotsford, BC and fell passionately in love with gymnastics at the age of 10. Over the next nine years, he trained and competed in Japan, Germany, Puerto Rico, Australia, New Zealand and many states in the U.S. and all over Canada. He met with great success and represented Team BC at both the Western and Canadian Gymnastics Championships. He stayed on the National Team for five years, training under the Olympic Coach, Mitsugu Ikeda while maintaining an Honours standing in high school at Yale Secondary. As an Olympic hopeful, he received the Petro-Canada Olympic Scholarship. He broke his hand just before World’s which was the qualifying event and was unable to go to the Olympics, which broke his heart as he had worked so hard. Shayne remembered this time at Twisters as one of the happiest times of his life. In 1998, Shayne began a remarkable journey with the Cirque du Soleil, in a touring production called “Quidam”, where he spent eight amazing years. He started by playing a principal character and performing in two house-troupe acts. Uncomfortable with the disparity in pay and workload amongst the performers, Shayne set out to find a niche. He found the German Wheel. He trained after shows and on dark days for two years without a coach and eventually landed the opening act of the show. With an uncompromising smile and mischievous twinkle in his eye, Shayne could light up a room. His quiet sense of humour and his timely delivery were a source of entertainment for many over the years. A big, grand and amazing life is what Shayne wanted and that is exactly what he lived - a larger than life adventure of epic proportions. He hit the ground running from a young age and made sure that he filled his life full of love, family, friendship and experiences of which many only dream. Shayne lived his life to the fullest at every opportunity and although he met with challenges along the way, he soaked up everything his life had to offer him. He was ready, eager and willing to begin a new journey, a fresh start. Recently he became very interested in Sacred Geometry and Integral Life. He quoted: “God has created the universe after geometric and harmonic principles; to seek these principles was therefore to seek and worship God.” Shayne will be sadly missed by his parents, Polly (Luigi) Di Clemente, and Barry (Carolyn) Courtright; his sister, Tanya (Chris) Reitz; his nieces and nephews, Phoebe, Leah, Jared, Magdalene, Claire, Markus, Joel, Stephen, Ethan; his cousins, Holly and David Courtright; his cousins, Nadya & Jim Sofonoff; his aunt, Lorna; and his entire extended family and friends. Viewing will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2015 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm at Henderson’s Fraser Valley Funeral Home, 34537 Marshall Road, Abbotsford, BC. A Funeral Service will be held on Sunday, October 18, 2015 at 2:00 pm at Henderson’s Fraser Valley Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Salvation Army in Abbotsford, BC, the Sacred Geometry or Integral Life. Tributes and condolences may be left at
